In addition, clinical trial data are subject to differing interpretations, and, even when we view data as sufficient to support the safety and/or effectiveness of a product candidate or a new indication for an in-line product, regulatory authorities may not share our views and may require additional data or may deny approval altogether.
Some amounts in this Form 10-Q may not add due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their owners.

PFIZER INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

A. Basis of Presentation

We prepared these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our 20202021 Form 10-K, except as disclosed in Note 1C.10-K. As permitted under the SEC requirements for interim reporting, certain footnotes or other financial information have been condensed or omitted.

These financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 20202021 Form 10-K. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year.

Pfizer’s fiscal quarter-end for subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. is as of and for the three and nine months ended August 29, 202128, 2022 and August 23, 2020,29, 2021, and for U.S. subsidiaries is as of and for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, we reorganized our commercial operations and September 27, 2020.began to manage our commercial operations through a global structure consisting of two operating segments, each led by a single manager: Biopharma, our innovative science-based biopharmaceutical business, and PC1, our global contract development and manufacturing organization and a leading supplier of specialty active pharmaceutical ingredients. Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, we made several additionalorganizational changes to further transform our operations to better leverage our expertise in certain areas and in anticipation of potential future new product launches. These changes include establishing a new commercial structure within our Biopharma operating segment and realigning certain enabling and platform functions across the organization to ensure alignment with this new operating structure. Biopharma is the only reportable segment. See Note 17A in our 2021 Form 10-K and Notes 9B and 13A below.
Business development activities completed in 2021 and 2022 impacted financial results in the periods presented. Discontinued operations in the periods presented relate to the previously divested Meridian subsidiary and post-closing adjustments for other previously divested businesses. See NoteNotes 1A and 2B in our 20202021 Form 10-K, and Note 2. On November 16, 2020, we completed the spin-off and the combination of our Upjohn Business with Mylan to form Viatris. For additional information, see Note 2B in our 2020 Form 10-K. On December 21, 2020, which fell in Pfizer’s international first quarter of 2021, Pfizerbelow.
We have made certain reclassification adjustments to conform prior-period amounts to the current presentation for discontinued operations, acquired IPR&D expenses and Viatris completed the termination of the Mylan-Japan collaboration pursuant to an agreement dated November 13, 2020, and we transferred related inventories and operations that were part of the Mylan-Japan collaboration to Viatris. As a result, the financial position and results of operations of the Upjohn Business and the Mylan-Japan collaboration are presented as discontinued operations. Prior-period information has been restated to reflect our current organization structure.segment reporting.
B. New Accounting Standard Adopted in 20212022
On January 1, 2021,2022, we early adopted a new accounting standard for income tax that eliminates certain exceptionscontract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination. Under the new standard, acquired contract assets and contract liabilities are required to be recognized and measured by the guidance related toacquirer on the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxesacquisition date in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. Theaccordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606. This new guidance also simplifies aspectsgenerally results in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts that were recorded by the acquiree. Previously, these amounts were recognized by the acquirer at fair value as of the accounting for franchise taxesacquisition date. We adopted this new standard on a prospective basis and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The adoption of this guidance did not have a materialthere was no impact onto our condensed consolidated financial statements.
C. Revenues and Trade Accounts Receivable
Revenue Recognition––We record revenues from product sales when there is a transfer of control of the product from us to the customer. We typically determine transfer of control based on when the product is shipped or delivered and title passes to the customer. For informationcertain contracts, the finished product may temporarily be stored at our or our third-party subcontractors’ locations under a bill-and-hold arrangement. Revenue is recognized on new accounting standards adoptedbill-and-hold arrangements at the point in 2020, see Note 1B in our 2020 Form 10-K.time when the customer obtains control of the product and all of the following criteria have been met: the arrangement is substantive; the product is identified separately as belonging to the customer; the product is ready for physical transfer to the customer; and we do not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer. In determining when the customer obtains control of the product, we consider certain indicators, including whether we have a present right to payment from the customer, whether title and/or significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer and whether customer acceptance has been received.

C. Change in Accounting Principle

InOur prescription pharmaceutical products, with the first quarterexception of 2021,Paxlovid, are sold principally to wholesalers, but we adopted a change in accounting principlealso sell directly to a more preferable policy under U.S. GAAPretailers, hospitals, clinics, government agencies and pharmacies. We principally sell Paxlovid to immediately recognize actuarial gains and losses arising from the remeasurement of our pension and postretirement plans (MTM Accounting).Under the prior policy, we deferred recognition of these gains and losses in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The accumulated actuarial gains/losses outside of a “corridor” were then amortized into net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period or the average life expectancy of participants. This change has been applied to all pension and postretirement plans on a retrospective basis for all prior periods presented, and as of January 1, 2020, resulted in a cumulative effect decrease to Retained earnings of $6.3 billion, with a corresponding offset to Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Each time a pension or postretirement plan is remeasured, the actuarial gain or loss is recognized immediately and classified as Other (income)/deductions––net.

We believe that MTM Accounting is a more preferable policy as it provides improved transparency of results and performance, better alignment with fair value accounting principles and a better reflection of current economic and interest rate trends on plan investments and assumptions and the actuarial impact of plan remeasurements.

Trade Accounts Receivable––Trade accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for credit losses reflects our best estimate of expected credit losses of the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, current information, and forecasts of future economic conditions. In developing the estimate for expected credit losses, trade accounts receivables are segmented into pools of assets depending on market (U.S. versus international), delinquency status, and customer type (high risk versus low risk and government versus non-government), and fixed reserve percentages are established for each pool of trade accounts receivables.
In determining the reserve percentages for each pool of trade accounts receivables, we considered our historical experience with certain customers and customer types, regulatory and legal environments, country and political risk, and other relevant current and future forecasted macroeconomic factors. These credit risk indicators are monitored on a quarterly basis to determine whether there have been any changes in the economic environment that would indicate the established reserve percentages should be adjusted, and are considered on a regional basis to reflect more geographic-specific metrics. Additionally, write-offs and recoveries of customer receivables are tracked against collections on a quarterly basis to determine whether the reserve percentages remain appropriate. When management becomes aware of certain customer-specific factors that impact credit risk,

specific allowances for these known troubled accounts are recorded. Trade accounts receivable are written off after all reasonable means to collect the full amount (including litigation, where appropriate) have been exhausted.
During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, and September 27, 2020, additions to the allowance for credit losses, write-offs and recoveries of customer receivables were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. For additional information on our trade accounts receivable, see Note 1G1H in our 20202021 Form 10-K.

D. Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expenses

In the first quarter of 2022, we began reporting acquired IPR&D expense as a separate line item in our consolidated statements of income. Acquired in-process research and development expenses includes costs incurred in connection with (a) all upfront and milestone payments on collaboration and in-license agreements, including premiums on equity securities and (b) asset acquisitions of acquired IPR&D. These costs were previously recorded in Research and development expenses. When we acquire net assets that do not constitute a business, as defined in U.S. GAAP, no goodwill is recognized and acquired IPR&D is expensed. The fair value of IPR&D acquired in connection with a business combination is recorded on the balance sheet as Identifiable intangible assets. See Notes 1E and 10 in our2021 Form 10-K.
Note 2.Acquisitions, Discontinued Operations, Equity-Method Investment and Collaborative Arrangement
A. Acquisitions
ReViral––On June 9, 2022, which fell in our international third quarter of 2022, we acquired ReViral, a privately held, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing novel antiviral therapeutics that target respiratory syncytial virus, for a total consideration of up to $536 million, including upfront payments of $436 million upon closing (including a base payment of $425 million plus working capital adjustments) and an additional $100 million contingent upon future development milestones.
We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition since the lead asset, sisunatovir, represented substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired. At the acquisition date, we recorded a $426 million charge representing an acquired IPR&D asset with no alternative use in Acquired in-process research and development expenses, which is presented as a cash outflow from operating activities. Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed were not significant.

Arena––On March 11, 2022, we acquired Arena, a clinical stage company, for $100 per share in cash. The total fair value of the consideration transferred was $6.6 billion ($6.2 billion, net of cash acquired). In addition, $138 million in payments to Arena employees for the fair value of previously unvested long-term incentive awards was recognized as post-closing compensation expense and recorded in Restructuring charges and certain acquisition-related costs (see Note 3).
Arena’s portfolio includes development-stage therapeutic candidates in gastroenterology, dermatology, and cardiology, including etrasimod, an oral, selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator currently in development for a range of immuno-inflammatory diseases including UC, Crohn’s disease, atopic dermatitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, and alopecia areata. In connection with this acquisition, we provisionally recorded: (i) $5.5 billion in Identifiable intangible assets, consisting of $5.0 billion of IPR&D and $460 million of indefinite-lived Licensing agreements and other, (ii) $1.0 billion of Goodwill and (iii) $505 million of net deferred tax liabilities. The allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized.

The interim agency operating model arrangements primarily include billings, collections and remittance of rebates that we are performing on a transitional basis on behalf of Viatris. Under the MSAs, Pfizer or Viatris, as the case may be, manufactures, labels and packages products for the other party. In the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, the amounts recorded under the abovethese agreements were not material to our consolidated results of operations.operations in the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021.

B.C. Equity-Method Investment
Formation of Haleon/Consumer Healthcare JV
JV––
On July 31, 2019, we completed a transaction in which we and GSK combined our respective consumer healthcare businesses into a new JV that operatesoperated globally under the GSK Consumer Healthcare name. In exchange for the contribution of our consumer healthcare business to the JV, we received a 32% equity stake in the new company and GSK ownsowned the remaining 68%.
On July 18, 2022, GSK completed a demerger of the Consumer Healthcare JV which became Haleon, an independent, publicly traded company listed on the London Stock Exchange that holds the joint Consumer Healthcare business of GSK and Pfizer following the demerger. We are accountingcontinue to own 32% of the ordinary shares of Haleon after the demerger. We continue to account for our interest in the Consumer Healthcare JVHaleon as an equity-method investment. The carrying value of our investment in Haleon as of October 2, 2022 and in the Consumer Healthcare JV is $16.1 billion as of October 3, 2021 and $16.7 billion as of December 31, 20202021 is $9.6 billion and $16.3 billion, respectively, and is reported as a private equity investment in Equity-method investments. The fair value of our investment in Haleon as of October 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The2, 2022, based on quoted market prices of Haleon stock, was $9.1 billion. Haleon/the Consumer Healthcare JV is a foreign investee whose reporting currency is the U.K. pound, and therefore we translate its financial statements into U.S. dollars and recognize the impact of foreign currency translation adjustments in the carrying value of our investment and in other comprehensive income. The decrease in the value of our investment from December 31, 20202021 is primarily due to $549dividends totaling approximately $4.5 billion, of which cash flows of $4.0 billion are included in Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations and $584 million are included in Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, as well as $2.4 billion in pre-tax foreign currency translation adjustments (see Note 6), as well as dividends totaling approximately $295 million, partially offset by our share of the JV’s earnings.

C. CollaborationIn connection with GSK’s previously announced planned demerger of at least 80% of GSK’s 68% equity interest in the Consumer Healthcare JV, in March 2022 the Consumer Healthcare JV completed its offering of a total aggregate principal amount of $8.75 billion in U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes of various maturities, €2.35 billion in euro-denominated senior notes of various maturities and £700 million in U.K. pound-denominated senior notes of various maturities (collectively, the “notes”). The notes were guaranteed by GSK generally up to and excluding the date of the demerger (the “Guarantee Assumption Date”). We agreed to indemnify GSK for 32% (representing our pro rata equity interest in the Consumer Healthcare JV) of any amount payable by GSK pursuant to its guarantee of the notes. Our indemnity was provided solely for the benefit of GSK. Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries were an issuer or guarantor of any of the notes.
Following its issuance of the notes in March 2022, which fell in our international second quarter of 2022, the Consumer Healthcare JV loaned to us and GSK the net proceeds received from the notes on a pro rata equity ownership basis, for which we received a loan of £2.9 billion ($3.7 billion as of the end of our second quarter of 2022), at an interest rate of 1.365% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears. In conjunction with the demerger, we received £3.5 billion ($4.2 billion) in dividends from the JV in July 2022, of which $4.0 billion related to a one-time pre-separation dividend, which decreased the carrying value of our investment (as discussed above). Simultaneous with the receipt of the dividends, we repaid the £2.9 billion loan from the JV. GSK similarly received pro rata dividends and simultaneously repaid its pro rata loan from the JV. In conjunction with these transactions, our indemnification of GSK’s guarantee discussed above was terminated.
D. Collaborative Arrangement

The estrogen receptor is a well-known disease driver in most breast cancers.zavegepant for the treatment and prevention of migraines outside of the U.S., subject to regulatory approval. Under the terms of the collaboration agreement, Biohaven would lead R&D globally and we madewould have the exclusive right to commercialization globally, outside of the U.S. Upon the closing of the transaction on January 4, 2022, we paid Biohaven $500 million, including an upfront payment to Arvinas of $650$150 million and an equity investment of $350 million. We recognized $263 million for the upfront payment and premium paid on our equity investment in July 2021, which was recorded to ResearchAcquired in-process research and development expenses. On September 13, 2021,In October 2022, within our fiscal fourth quarter of 2022, we made a $350 million equity investment in Arvinas, receiving approximately 3.5 million newly issuedacquired all outstanding common shares of Arvinas common stock, priced at a 30% premium to the 30-day volume weighted average price on July 20, 2021, representing an equity ownership stakeBiohaven not already owned by Pfizerus for $148.50 per share, in cash, for payments of approximately 7% as of September 13, 2021. Arvinas is also eligible to receive up to $400 million in approval milestones and up to $1 billion in commercial milestones. The companies will equally share worldwide development costs, commercialization expenses and profits.$11.5 billion.

We expect costs, primarily related to restructuring our corporate enabling functions, of $1.8 billion, to total $1.6 billion,be incurred primarily from 2020 through 2022, with substantially all costs to be cash expenditures. Actions include, among others, changes in location of certain activities, expanded use and co-location of centers of excellence and shared services, and increased use of digital technologies. The associated actions and the specific costs will primarily include severance and benefit plan impacts, exit costs as well as associated implementation costs.
In addition, we are transforming our commercial go-to market model in the way we engage patients and physicians. We have also made several organizational changes in the third quarter of 2022 to further transform our operations to better leverage our expertise in certain areas and in anticipation of potential future new product launches (see Note 1A). We expect costs of $1.1$1.4 billion to be incurred primarily from 2020 through 2022, with substantially all costs to be cash expenditures. Actions include, among others, centralization of certain activities and enhanced use of digital technologies. The costs for this effort primarily include severance and associated implementation costs.
We are also optimizing our manufacturing network under this program and incurring certain legacyone-time costs for cost-reduction initiatives related to our manufacturing business.operations. We expect to incur costs of $500$800 million to be incurred primarily from 2020 through 2023, with approximately 20%25% of the costs to be non-cash. The costs for this effort include, among other things, severance costs, implementation costs, product transfer costs, site exit costs, as well as accelerated depreciation.
The program costs discussed above are expected to be incurred primarily from 2020 through 2022, and may be rounded and represent approximations.
From the start of this program in the fourth quarter of 2019 through October 3, 2021,2, 2022, we incurred costs of $2.0 billion.$2.8 billion, of which $1.1 billion ($862 million of restructuring charges) is associated with Biopharma.

Note 5. Tax Matters
A. Taxes on Income from Continuing Operations
Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was (4.2)% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to (60.9)% for the third quarter of 2020, and was 7.5% for the first nine months of 2021, compared to 6.7% for the first nine months of 2020.
The negative effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2021 was primarily a result of certain initiatives executed in the third quarter of 2021 associated with our investment in the Consumer Healthcare JV with GSK based on estimates and assumptions

that we believe(b)Reflects an intangible asset written down to be reasonable. The negativefair value in 2022. Fair value was determined using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method, also known as the discounted cash flow method. We started with a forecast of all the expected net cash flows for the asset and then applied an asset-specific discount rate to arrive at a net present value amount. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include: the amount and timing of the projected net cash flows, which includes the expected impact of competitive, legal and/or regulatory forces on the product; the discount rate, which seeks to reflect the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows; and the tax rate, which seeks to incorporate the geographic diversity of the projected cash flows.
Note 5. Tax Matters
A. Taxes on Income from Continuing Operations
Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 4.0% for the third quarter of 20202022, compared to (4.2)% for the third quarter of 2021, and was primarily a result of benefits associated with certain intangible asset impairments (see Note 4(e)). The increase in the effective tax rate10.5% for the first nine months of 2021,2022, compared to 7.8% for the first nine months of 2020, was2021. The higher effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, were mainly due to the change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings primarily related to Comirnaty and the non-recurrence of benefits associated with certain intangible asset impairments, partially offset by certain initiatives executed in the third quarter of 2021 associated with our investment in the Consumer Healthcare JV with GSK.GSK, partially offset by tax benefits in the third quarter of 2022 related to global income tax resolutions in multiple tax jurisdictions spanning multiple tax years that included the closing of U.S. IRS audits covering five tax years.
We elected, with the filing of our 2018 U.S. Federal Consolidated Income Tax Return, to pay our initial estimated $15 billion repatriation tax liability on accumulated post-1986 foreign earnings over eight years through 2026. The thirdfourth annual installment of this liability was paid by its April 15, 202118, 2022 due date. The fourthfifth annual installment is due April 15, 202218, 2023 and is reported in current Income taxes payableas of October 3, 2021. 2, 2022. The remaining liability is reported in noncurrent Other taxes payable. Our obligations may vary as a result of changes in our uncertain tax positions and/or availability of attributes such as foreign tax and other credit carryforwards.
B. Tax Contingencies

We are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions, and a certain degree of estimation is required in recording the assets and liabilities related to income taxes. All of our tax positions are subject to audit by the local taxing authorities in each tax jurisdiction. These tax audits can involve complex issues, interpretations and judgments and the resolution of matters may span multiple years, particularly if subject to negotiation or litigation.

The U.S. is one of our major tax jurisdictions, and we are regularly audited by the IRS. During the third quarter of 2022, Pfizer reached resolution of disputed issues at the IRS Independent Office of Appeals, thereby settling all issues related to U.S. tax returns of Pfizer for the years 2011-2015. With respect to Pfizer, the IRS has issued Revenue Agent’s Reports (RARs) for tax years 2011-2013 and 2014-2015. We are not in agreement with the RARs and are currently appealing certain disputed issues. Tax years 2016-2018 are currently under audit. Tax years 2019-20212019-2022 are open but not under audit. All other tax years are closed. In addition to the open audit years in the U.S., we have open audit years in certain major international tax jurisdictions dating back to 2011.

E. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
Foreign Exchange Risk
Risk––A significant portion of our revenues, earnings and net investments in foreign affiliates is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. WeWhere foreign exchange risk is not offset by other exposures, we manage our foreign exchange risk principally through the use of derivative financial instruments and

foreign currency debt. These financial instruments serve to mitigate the impact on net income as a result of remeasurement into another currency, or against the impact of translation into U.S. dollars of certain foreign exchange-denominated transactions.
The derivative financial instruments primarily hedge or offset exposures in the euro, U.K. pound, Japanese yen, and Canadian dollar. We hedgedollar, and include a portion of our forecasted foreign exchange-denominated intercompany inventory sales denominated in euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi, U.K. pound and Australian dollar forhedged up to two years. We may seek to protect against possible declines in the reported net investments of our foreign business entities.
Interest Rate Risk
Risk––Our interest-bearing investments and borrowings are subject to interest rate risk. Depending on market conditions, we may change the profile of our outstanding debt or investments by entering into derivative financial instruments like interest rate swaps, either to hedge or offset the exposure to changes in the fair value of hedged items with fixed interest rates, or to convert variable rate debt or investments to fixed rates. The derivative financial instruments primarily hedge U.S. dollar fixed-rate debt.

F. Credit Risk
A significant portion of our trade accounts receivable balances are due from wholesalers and governments. For additional information on our trade accounts receivables with significant customers, see Note 13B13C below and Note 17B17C in our 20202021 Form 10-K.

As of October 3, 2021,2, 2022, the largest investment exposures in our portfolio represent primarily sovereign debt instruments issued by Germany, the U.S., Canada, Germany,the Netherlands, Japan, the U.K., France, Australia, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, and Finland.

Canada, as well as money market funds primarily invested in U.S. Treasury and government debt.
With respect to our derivative financial instrument agreements with financial institutions, we do not expect to incur a significant loss from failure of any counterparty. Derivative financial instruments are executed under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements with credit-support annexes that contain zero threshold provisions requiring collateral to be exchanged daily depending on levels of exposure. As a result, there are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual financial institution. As of October 3, 2021,2, 2022, the aggregate fair value of these derivative financial instruments that are in a net payable position was $357$595 million, for which we have posted collateral of $357$612 million with a corresponding amount reported in Short-term investments. As of October 3, 2021,2, 2022, the aggregate fair value of our derivative financial instruments that are in a net receivable position was $246 million,$1.5 billion, for which we have received collateral of $236 million$1.5 billion with a corresponding amount reported in Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt.

Note 12. Contingencies and Certain Commitments
We and certain of our subsidiaries are subject to numerous contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business, including tax and legal contingencies. The following outlines our legal contingencies. For a discussion of our tax contingencies, see Note 5B.
A. Legal Proceedings
Our legal contingencies include, but are not limited to, the following:
Patent litigation, which typically involves challenges to the coverage and/or validity of patents on various products, processes or dosage forms. We are the plaintiff in the majority of these actions. An adverse outcome in actions in which we are the plaintiff could result in loss of patent protection for a product, a significant loss of revenues from thata product or impairment of the value of associated assets. We are the plaintiff in the majority of these actions.
Product liability and other product-related litigation related to current or former products, which can include personal injury, consumer, off-label promotion, securities, antitrust and breach of contract claims, among others, and often involves highly complex issues relating to medical causation, label warnings and reliance on those warnings, scientific evidence and findings, actual, provable injury and other matters.
Commercial and other asserted or unasserted matters, which can include acquisition-, licensing-, intellectual property-, collaboration- or co-promotion-related and product-pricing claims and environmental claims and proceedings, and can involve complexities that will vary from matter to matter.
27


PFIZER INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Government investigations, which often are related to the extensive regulation of pharmaceutical companies by national, state and local government agencies in the U.S. and in other jurisdictions.
Certain of these contingencies could result in increased expenses and/or losses, including damages, royalty payments, fines and/or civil penalties, which could be substantial, and/or criminal charges.
We believe that our claims and defenses in matters in which we are a defendant are substantial, but litigation is inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur. We do not believe that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. However, we could incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of matters, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and/or our cash flows in the period in which the amounts are accrued or paid.
We have accrued for losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Substantially all of our contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss can be complex. Consequently, we are unable to estimate the range of reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts accrued. Our assessments, which result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties, are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause us to change those estimates and assumptions.
Amounts recorded for legal and environmental contingencies can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. For proceedings under environmental laws to which a governmental authority is a party, we have adopted a disclosure threshold of $1 million in potential or actual governmental monetary sanctions.
The principal pending matters to which we are a party are discussed below. In determining whether a pending matter is a principal matter, we consider both quantitative and qualitative factors to assess materiality, such as, among others, the amount of damages and the nature of other relief sought, if specified; our view of the merits of the claims and of the strength of our defenses; whether the action purports to be, or is, a class action and, if not certified, our view of the likelihood that a class will be certified by the court; the jurisdiction in which the proceeding is pending; whether related actions have been transferred to multidistrict litigation; any experience that we or, to our knowledge, other companies have had in similar proceedings; whether disclosure of the action would be important to a reader of our financial statements, including whether disclosure might change a reader’s judgment about our financial statements in light of all of the information that is available to the reader; the potential impact of the proceeding on our reputation; and the extent of public interest in the matter. In addition, with respect to patent matters in which we are the plaintiff, we consider, among other things, the financial significance of the product protected by the patent(s) at issue. Some of the matters discussed below include those which management believes that the likelihood of possible loss in excess of amounts accrued is remote.
A1. Legal Proceedings––Patent Litigation
We are involved in suits relating to our patents, including but not limited to, those discussed below. Most involve claims by generic drug manufacturers that patents covering our products (or those of our collaboration/licensing partners to which we

PFIZER INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
have licenses or co-promotion rights and to which we may or may not be a party), processes or dosage forms are invalid and/or do not cover the product of the generic drug manufacturer. Also, counterclaims, as well as various independent actions, have been filed alleging that our assertions of, or attempts to enforce, patent rights with respect to certain products constitute unfair competition and/or violations of antitrust laws. In addition to the challenges to the U.S. patents that are discussed below, patent rights to certain of our products or those of our collaboration/licensing partners are being challenged in various other jurisdictions. For example, someSome of our collaboration or licensing partners face challenges to the validity of their patent rights in non-U.S. jurisdictions. For example, in April 2022, the U.K. High Court issued a judgment finding invalid a BMS patent related to Eliquis due to expire in 2026. In November 2022, BMS received permission to appeal the High Court’s decision. Additional challenges remain pending in other jurisdictions. Also, for example, in July 2022, CureVac AG (CureVac) brought a patent infringement action against BioNTech and certain of its subsidiaries in the German Regional Court alleging that Comirnaty infringes certain German utility model patents and certain expired and unexpired European patents. Additional challenges involving Comirnaty patents may be filed against us and/or BioNTech in other jurisdictions in the future. In addition, in October 2022, Accord Healthcare Ltd. brought suit in the U.K. against the Regents of the University of California challenging the validity of the U.K. patent covering the active ingredient in Xtandi, which expires in 2028. Adverse decisions in these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.We are also party to patent damages suits in various jurisdictions pursuant to which generic drug manufacturers, payers, governments or other parties are seeking damages from us for allegedly causing delay of generic entry.

We also are often involved in other proceedings, such as inter partes review, post-grant review, re-examination or opposition proceedings, before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the European Patent Office, or other foreign counterparts relating to our intellectual property or the intellectual property rights of others. Also, if one of our patents is found to be invalid by such proceedings, generic or competitive products could be introduced into the market resulting in the erosion of sales of our existing products. For example, several of the patents in our pneumococcal vaccine portfolio werehave been challenged in inter partes review and post-grant review proceedings in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In 2017, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) initiated proceedings with respect to 2 of our pneumococcal vaccine patents. However, the PTAB declined to initiate proceedings as to two other pneumococcal vaccine patents; those 2 patents, and 1 otheraddition, another patent werewas challenged in federal court in Delaware. InDelaware; and that case was settled in September 2021 Pfizer and a challenger entered into a settlement and license agreement, resolving all worldwide legal proceedings involving that challenger, relatedon terms not material to our pneumococcal vaccine patents.the company. Other challenges to pneumococcal vaccine patents remain pending at the PTABPatent Trial and Appeal Board and outside the U.S. The invalidation of any of the patents in our pneumococcal portfolio

In the event that any of the patents are found valid and infringed, a competitor’s vaccine, if approved, might be prohibited from entering the market or a competitor might be required to pay us a royalty.
We are also subject to patent litigation pursuant to which one or more third parties seek damages and/or injunctive relief to compensate for alleged infringement of its patents by our commercial or other activities. For example, our Hospira subsidiaries are involved in patent and patent-related disputes over their attempts to bring generic pharmaceutical and biosimilar products to market. If one of our marketed products is found to infringe valid patent rights of a third party, such third party may be awarded significant damages or royalty payments, or we may be prevented from further sales of that product. Such damages may be enhanced as much as three-fold if we or one of our subsidiaries is found to have willfully infringed valid patent rights of a third party.

Matters Involving OurPfizer and its Collaboration/Licensing Partners
Eliquis
In 2017, NaNtwenty-five generic companies sent BMS Paragraph-IV certification letters informing BMS that they had filed ANDAs seeking approval of generic versions of Eliquis, challenging the validity and infringement of one or more of the 3three patents listed in the Orange Book for Eliquis. NaNOne of the patents expired in December 2019 and the remaining patents currently are set to expire in 2026 and 2031. Eliquis has been jointly developed and is being commercialized by BMS and Pfizer. BMS and Pfizer filed patent-infringement actions against all generic filers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and the U.S. District Court for the District of West Virginia, asserting that each of the generic companies’ proposed products would infringe each of the patent(s) that each generic filer challenged. Some generic filers challenged only the 2031 patent, some challenged both the 2031 and 2026 patent, and one generic company challenged all 3three patents. In August 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware ruled that both the 2026 patent and the 2031 patent are valid and infringed by the proposed generic products. In August and September 2020, the generic filers appealed the District Court’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Prior to the August 2020 ruling, we and BMS settled with certain of the companies on terms not material to us, and we and BMS may settle with other generic companies in the future. In September 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision.

Outside of the U.S., in the U.K., Pfizer and BioNTech have sued CureVac seeking a judgment of invalidity of several patents and CureVac has made certain infringement counterclaims.
A2. Legal Proceedings––Product Litigation
We are defendants in numerous cases, including but not limited to those discussed below, related to our pharmaceutical and other products. Plaintiffs in these cases seek damages and other relief on various grounds for alleged personal injury and economic loss.
Asbestos
Between 1967 and 1982, Warner-Lambert owned American Optical Corporation (American Optical), which manufactured and sold respiratory protective devices and asbestos safety clothing. In connection with the sale of American Optical in 1982, Warner-Lambert agreed to indemnify the purchaser for certain liabilities, including certain asbestos-related and other claims. Warner-Lambert was acquired by Pfizer in 2000 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer. Warner-Lambert is actively engaged in the defense of, and will continue to explore various means of resolving, these claims.

Numerous lawsuits against American Optical, Pfizer and certain of its previously owned subsidiaries are pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged personal injury from exposure to products allegedly containing asbestos and other allegedly hazardous materials sold by Pfizer and certain of its previously owned subsidiaries.
There also are a small number of lawsuits pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged exposure to asbestos in facilities owned or formerly owned by Pfizer or its subsidiaries.
Effexor
Beginning in 2011, actions, including purported class actions, were filed in various federal courts against Wyeth and, in certain of the actions, affiliates of Wyeth and certain other defendants relating to Effexor XR, which is the extended-release formulation of Effexor. The plaintiffs in each of the class actions seek to represent a class consisting of all persons in the U.S. and its territories who directly purchased, indirectly purchased or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Effexor XR or generic Effexor XR from any of the defendants from June 14, 2008 until the time the defendants’ allegedly unlawful conduct ceased. The plaintiffs in all of the actions allege delay in the launch of generic Effexor XR in the U.S. and its territories, in violation of federal antitrust laws and, in certain of the actions, the antitrust, consumer protection and various other laws of certain states, as the result of Wyeth fraudulently obtaining and improperly listing certain patents for Effexor XR in the Orange Book, enforcing certain patents for Effexor XR and entering into a litigation settlement agreement with a generic drug manufacturer with respect to Effexor XR. Each of the plaintiffs seeks treble damages (for itself in the individual actions or on behalf of the putative class

in the purported class actions) for alleged price overcharges for Effexor XR or generic Effexor XR in the U.S. and its territories since June 14, 2008. All of these actions have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
In 2014, the District Court dismissed the direct purchaser plaintiffs’ claims based on the litigation settlement agreement, but declined to dismiss the other direct purchaser plaintiff claims. In 2015, the District Court entered partial final judgments as to all settlement agreement claims, including those asserted by direct purchasers and end-payer plaintiffs, which plaintiffs

appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit reversed the District Court’s decisions and remanded the claims to the District Court.
Lipitor
Beginning in 2011, purported class actions relating to Lipitor were filed in various federal courts against, among others, Pfizer, certain Pfizer affiliates, and, in most of the actions, Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. (Ranbaxy) and certain Ranbaxy affiliates. The plaintiffs in these various actions seek to represent nationwide, multi-state or statewide classes consisting of persons or entities who directly purchased, indirectly purchased or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Lipitor (or, in certain of the actions, generic Lipitor) from any of the defendants from March 2010 until the cessation of the defendants’ allegedly unlawful conduct (the Class Period). The plaintiffs allege delay in the launch of generic Lipitor, in violation of federal antitrust laws and/or state antitrust, consumer protection and various other laws, resulting from (i) the 2008 agreement pursuant to which Pfizer and Ranbaxy settled certain patent litigation involving Lipitor and Pfizer granted Ranbaxy a license to sell a generic version of Lipitor in various markets beginning on varying dates, and (ii) in certain of the actions, the procurement and/or enforcement of certain patents for Lipitor. Each of the actions seeks, among other things, treble damages on behalf of the putative class for alleged price overcharges for Lipitor (or, in certain of the actions, generic Lipitor) during the Class Period. In addition, individual actions have been filed against Pfizer, Ranbaxy and certain of their affiliates, among others, that assert claims and seek relief for the plaintiffs that are substantially similar to the claims asserted and the relief sought in the purported class actions described above. These various actions have been consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a Multi-District Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
In September 2013 and 2014, the District Court dismissed with prejudice the claims of the direct purchasers. In October and November 2014, the District Court dismissed with prejudice the claims of all other Multi-District Litigation plaintiffs. All plaintiffs have appealed the District Court’s orders dismissing their claims with prejudice to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In addition, the direct purchaser class plaintiffs appealed the order denying their motion to amend the judgment and for leave to amend their complaint to the Court of Appeals. In 2017, the Court of Appeals reversed the District Court’s decisions and remanded the claims to the District Court.
Also, in 2013, the State of West Virginia filed an action in West Virginia state court against Pfizer and Ranbaxy, among others, that asserts claims and seeks relief on behalf of the State of West Virginia and residents of that state that are substantially similar to the claims asserted and the relief sought in the purported class actions described above.
EpiPen (Direct Purchaser)
In February 2020, a lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas against Pfizer, its current and former affiliates King and Meridian, and various Mylan entities, on behalf of a purported U.S. nationwide class of direct purchaser plaintiffs who purchased EpiPen devices directly from the defendants. Plaintiffs in this action generally allege that Pfizer and Mylan conspired to delay market entry of generic EpiPen through the settlement of patent litigation regarding EpiPen, and thereby delayed market entry of generic EpiPen in violation of federal antitrust law. Plaintiffs seek treble damages for alleged overcharges for EpiPen since 2011. In July 2021, the District Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss the direct purchaser complaint, without prejudice. In September 2021, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. In August 2022, the District Court granted Pfizer’s motion to dismiss the complaint.
Nexium 24HR and Protonix
A number of individual and multi-plaintiff lawsuits have been filed against Pfizer, certain of its subsidiaries and/or other pharmaceutical manufacturers in various federal and state courts alleging that the plaintiffs developed kidney-related injuries purportedly as a result of the ingestion of certain proton pump inhibitors. The cases against Pfizer involve Protonix and/or Nexium 24HR and seek compensatory and punitive damages and, in some cases, treble damages, restitution or disgorgement. In 2017, the federal actions were ordered transferred for coordinated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. As part of our Consumer Healthcare JV transaction with GSK, the JV has agreed to assume, and to indemnify Pfizer for, liabilities arising out of such litigation to the extent related to Nexium 24HR.
Docetaxel
Personal Injury Actions
A number of lawsuits have been filed against Hospira and Pfizer in various federal and state courts alleging that plaintiffs who were treated with Docetaxel developed permanent hair loss. The significant majority of the cases also name other defendants, including the manufacturer of the branded product, Taxotere. Plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages. Additional lawsuits have been filed in which plaintiffs allege they developed blocked tear ducts following their treatment with Docetaxel.
In 2016, the federal cases were transferred for coordinated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. In 2022, the eye injury cases were transferred for coordinated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.

The action seeks civil penalties and injunctive relief.
Array Securities Litigation
In 2017, 2 purported class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado alleging that Array, which we acquired in 2019 and is our wholly owned subsidiary, and certain of its former officers violated federal securities laws in connection with certain disclosures made, or omitted, by Array regarding the NRAS-mutant melanoma program. In 2018, the actions were consolidated into a single proceeding. In March 2021, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the litigation on terms not material to Pfizer.
Zantac
A number of lawsuits have been filed against Pfizer in various federal and state courts alleging that plaintiffs developed various types of cancer, or face an increased risk of developing cancer, purportedly as a result of the ingestion of Zantac. The significant majority of these cases also name other defendants that have historically manufactured and/or sold Zantac. Pfizer has not sold Zantac since 2006, and only sold an OTC version of the product. In 2006, Pfizer sold the consumer business that included its Zantac OTC rights to Johnson & Johnson and transferred the assets and liabilities related to Zantac OTC to Johnson & Johnson in connection with the sale. Plaintiffs in these cases seek compensatory and punitive damages.

In February 2020, the federal actions were transferred for coordinated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Plaintiffs in the Multi-District Litigation have filed against Pfizer and many other defendants a master personal injury complaint, asserting a consolidated consumer class action complaint alleging, among other things, claims under consumer protection statutes of all 50 states, and a medical monitoring complaint seeking to certify medical monitoring classes under the laws of 13 states. Plaintiffs previously had filed a consolidated third-party payor class action complaint alleging violation of the RICO statute and seeking reimbursement for payments made for the prescription version of Zantac, but the Multi-District Litigation court dismissed that complaint; Plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. In addition, (i) Pfizer has received service of 2 Canadian class action complaints naming Pfizer and other defendants, and seeking compensatory and punitive damages for personal injury and economic loss, allegedly arising from the defendants’ sale of Zantac in Canada; and (ii) the State of New Mexico and the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore separately filed civil actions against Pfizer and many other defendants in state court,courts, alleging various state statutory and common law claims in connection with the defendants’ alleged sale of Zantac in those jurisdictions.

Coordinated proceedings have also been created in other state courts.
Chantix
Beginning in August 2021, a number of putative class actions have been filed against Pfizer in various U.S. federal courts following Pfizer’s voluntary recall of Chantix due to the presence of a nitrosamine, N-nitroso-varenicline. Plaintiffs assert that they suffered economic harm purportedly as a result of purchasing Chantix or generic varenicline medicines sold by Pfizer. Plaintiffs seek to represent nationwide and state-specific classes and seek various remedies, including damages and medical monitoring. Similar putative class actions have been filed in Canada and Israel, where the product brand is Champix.

These matters often involve government requests for information on a voluntary basis or through subpoenas after which the government may seek additional information through follow-up requests or additional subpoenas. In addition, in a qui tam lawsuit in which the government declines to intervene, the relator may still pursue a suit for the recovery of civil damages and penalties on behalf of the government. Among the investigations by government agencies are the matters discussed below.
Greenstone Investigations
U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division Investigation

We believe this is related to an ongoing broader antitrust investigation of the generic pharmaceutical industry. We have produced records relating to this investigation.
State Attorneys General and Multi-District Generics Antitrust Litigation
In April 2018, Greenstone received requests for information from the Antitrust Department of the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General. In May 2019, Attorneys General of more than 40 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico filed a complaint against a number of pharmaceutical companies, including Greenstone and Pfizer.

A5. Legal Proceedings––Matters Resolved During the First Nine Months of 2021
During the first nine months of 2021, certain matters, including the matter discussed below, were resolved or became the subject of definitive settlement agreements or settlement agreements-in-principle.
EpiPen
Beginning in 2017, purported class actions were filed in various federal courts by indirect purchasers of EpiPen against Pfizer, and/or its affiliates King and Meridian, and/or various entities affiliated with Mylan, and Mylan former Chief Executive Officer, Heather Bresch. The plaintiffs in these actions represent U.S. nationwide classes comprising persons or entities who paid for any portion of the end-user purchase price of an EpiPen between 2009 until the cessation of the defendants’ allegedly unlawful conduct. Against Pfizer and/or its affiliates, plaintiffs in these actions generally allege that Pfizer’s and/or its affiliates’ settlement of patent litigation regarding EpiPen delayed market entry of generic EpiPen in violation of federal and various state antitrust laws. At least one lawsuit also alleges that Pfizer and/or Mylan violated the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Plaintiffs also filed various federal antitrust, state consumer protection and unjust enrichment claims against, andGovernment Inquiries relating to conduct attributable solely to, Mylan and/or its affiliates regarding EpiPen. Plaintiffs seek treble damages for alleged overcharges for EpiPen since 2011. Biohaven

The CID seeks records and information related to, among other things, engagements with other EpiPen-related actions against Mylan and/or its affiliateshealth care professionals and co-pay coupons cards. Biohaven is a wholly-owned subsidiary that we acquired in October 2022. We are producing records in response to which Pfizer, King and Meridian are not parties.In July 2021, Pfizer and plaintiffs filed a stipulation of settlement to resolve the Multi-District Litigation for $345 million. The settlement is subject to court approval, and the payment has been made in accordance with the terms of the settlement agreement.these requests.
B. Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business and in connection with the sale of assets and businesses and other transactions, we often indemnify our counterparties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with the transaction or that are related to events and activities prior to or following a transaction. If the indemnified party were to make a successful claim pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, we may be required to reimburse the loss. These indemnifications are generally subject to various

Historically, we have not paid significant amounts under these provisions and, as of October 3, 2021,2, 2022, the estimated fair value of these indemnification obligations wasis not significant.material to Pfizer. See Note 2C for a description of the March 2022 indemnity provided by Pfizer to GSK in connection with the issuance of notes by the Consumer Healthcare JV. In conjunction with the completion of GSK’s demerger transactions in July 2022, GSK’s guarantee and our related indemnification of GSK’s guarantee were terminated.
In addition, in connection with our entry into certain agreements and other transactions, our counterparties may agreebe obligated to indemnify us. For example, in November 2020, we and Mylan completed the transaction to spin-off our Upjohn Business and combine it with Mylan to form Viatris. As part of the transaction and as previously disclosed, each of Viatris and Pfizer has agreed to assume, and to indemnify Pfizerthe other for, liabilities arising out of certain matters. Also, our global agreement with BioNTech to co-develop a mRNA-based coronavirus vaccine program aimed at preventing COVID-19 infection, includes certain indemnity provisions pursuant to which each of BioNTech and Pfizer has agreed to indemnify the other for certain liabilities that may arise in connection with certain third-party claims relating to Comirnaty.
We have also guaranteed the long-term debt of certain companies that we acquired whichand that now are now subsidiaries of Pfizer. See Note 7D.

We manage our commercial operations through two operating segments, Biopharma and PC1, which are each led by a single manager. Biopharma is the only reportable segment. Each operating segment has responsibility for its commercial activities. Regional commercial organizations market, distribute and sell our collaboration partner, BioNTech, have entered into agreements toproducts and are supported by global platform functions that are responsible for the research, development, manufacturing and supply pre-specified doses of Comirnaty with multipleour products and global corporate enabling functions. Biopharma receives its R&D services from WRDM and GPD. These services include IPR&D projects for new investigational products and additional indications for in-line products. Each operating segment has a geographic footprint across developed and emerging nations aroundmarkets. Our chief operating decision maker uses the worldrevenues and earnings of the operating segments, among other factors, for performance evaluation and resource allocation.
After the organizational changes in the third quarter of 2022 (see Note 1A), the new commercial structure within Biopharma is designed to better support and optimize performance across three broad therapeutic areas:
Primary Care consists of the former Internal Medicine and Vaccines product portfolios, as well as COVID-19 products and potential future mRNA products.
Specialty Care consists of the former Inflammation & Immunology, Rare Disease and Hospital (excluding Paxlovid) product portfolios.
Oncology consists of the former Oncology product portfolio.
Other Costs and Business Activities––Certain pre-tax costs are not allocated to our operating segment results, such as costs included in Other business activities that are associated with: (i) R&D and medical expenses managed by our WRDM and GPD organizations; (ii) corporate enabling functions and other corporate costs; (iii) overhead costs primarily associated with our manufacturing operations; and (iv) our share of earnings from Haleon/the Consumer Healthcare JV. Additionally, all amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related items, and certain significant items, representing substantive and/or unusual, and in some cases recurring, items that are evaluated on an individual basis by management and that, either as a result of their nature or size, would not be expected to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis, are not allocated to our operating segment results. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, acquisition-related items may now include purchase accounting impacts that previously were included as part of a reconciling item entitled “Purchase accounting adjustments” that we no longer separately present, such as the incremental charge to cost of sales from the sale of acquired inventory that was written up to fair value, depreciation related to the increase/decrease in fair value of acquired fixed assets, amortization related to the increase in fair value of acquired debt, and the fair value changes for contingent consideration. The operating results of PC1 are included in Other business activities.
Segment Assets––We manage our assets on a total company basis, not by operating segment, as our operating assets are shared or commingled. Therefore, our chief operating decision maker does not regularly review any asset information by operating

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS’SMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW OF OUR PERFORMANCE, OPERATING ENVIRONMENT, STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Our Business and Strategy
Most of our revenues come from the manufacture and sale of biopharmaceutical products. With the formation of the Consumer Healthcare JV in 2019 and the completion of the spin-off and combination of our Upjohn Business with Mylan in November 2020, Pfizer has transformed into a focused, global leader in science-based innovative medicines and vaccines. We operate as a single operating segment engaged in the discovery, development, manufacturing, marketing, sale and distribution of biopharmaceutical products worldwide. The financial results of the Upjohn Business and the Mylan-Japan collaboration are reflected as discontinued operations. Prior-period information has been restated to reflect our current organization structure. We expect to incur costs of approximately $700 million in connection with separating Upjohn, of which approximately 75% has been incurred since inception and through the third quarter of 2021. These charges include costs and expenses related to separation of legal entities and transaction costs.
For additional information about our business, strategy and operating environment, see the Item 1. Business section and Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook section within MD&A of our 2020 Form 10-K.
References to operational variances pertain to period-over-period changes that exclude the impact of foreign exchange rates. Although foreign exchange rate changes are part of our business, they are not within our control and since they can mask positive or negative trends in the business, we believe presenting operational variances excluding these foreign exchange changes provides useful information to evaluate our results.
Our Business and Strategy––We apply science and our global resources to bring therapies to people that extend and significantly improve their lives through the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of biopharmaceutical products worldwide. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, we reorganized our commercial operations and began to manage our commercial operations through a global structure consisting of two operating segments: Biopharma and PC1. Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, we made several additionalorganizational changes to further transform our operations to better leverage our expertise in certain areas and in anticipation of potential future new product launches. Biopharma is the only reportable segment. See Note 1A. We expect to incur costs of approximately $700 million in connection with separating Upjohn, of which approximately 85% has been incurred since inception and through the third quarter of 2022. These charges include costs and expenses related to separation of legal entities and transaction costs.

For information on our tax provision and effective tax rate, see the Provision/(Benefit) for Taxes on Income section within MD&A and Note 5.
Our Operating Environment

––We, like other businesses in our industry, are subject to certain industry-specific challenges. These include, among others, the topics listed below, as well as in the Item 1. Business––Government Regulation and inPrice Constraints and Item 1A. Risk Factors sections,and the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––Our Operating Environment section of the MD&Aof our 20202021 Form 10-K.
Intellectual Property Rights and Collaboration/Licensing Rights
––The loss, expiration or invalidation of intellectual property rights, patent litigation settlements with manufacturers and the expiration of co-promotion and licensing rights can have a material adverse effect on our revenues. Certain of our products have experienced patent-based expirations or loss of regulatory exclusivity in certain markets in the last few years, and we expect certain products to face significantly increased generic competition over the next few years. Examples of products experiencing recent expirations of their basic product patent are Chantix in the U.S. in November 2020 and Sutent in the U.S. in August 2021. While additional patent expiries will continue, we expect a moderate impact of reduced revenues due to patent expiries from 20212022 through 2025. Further, legal or regulatory action by various stakeholders or governments could potentially result in us not seeking intellectual property protection for or agreeing not to enforce or being restricted from enforcing intellectual property related to our products. For example, in May 2021, the Brazilian Supreme Court voted to invalidate Article 40 of
40


Brazil’s Patent Law, which guaranteed a minimum 10-year patent term from patent grant, and to give retroactive effect to such decision. We continue to vigorously defend our patent rights against infringement, and we will continue to support efforts that strengthen worldwide recognition of patent rights while taking necessary steps to help ensure appropriate patient access.

For additional information on patent rights we consider most significant in relation to our business as a whole, see the Item 1. Business––Patents and Other Intellectual Property Rights section of our 20202021 Form 10-K. For a discussion of recent developments with respect to patent litigation, see Note 12A1.
Regulatory Environment/Pricing and Access––Government and Other Payer Group Pressures
The pricing of medicines and vaccines by pharmaceutical manufacturers and the cost of healthcare, which includes medicines, vaccines, medical services and hospital services, continues to be important to payers, governments, patients, and other stakeholders. Federal and state governments and––Governments globally, as well as private third-party payers in the U.S. continue to take action to manage the utilization of drugs and cost of drugs, including increasingly employing formularies to control costs by taking into account discounts in connection with decisions about formulary inclusion or favorable formulary placement. We consider a number of factors impacting the pricing of our medicines and vaccines. Within the U.S., we often engage with patients, doctors and healthcare plans. We also often provide significant discounts from the list price to insurers, including PBMs and MCOs. The price that patients pay in the U.S. for prescribed medicines and vaccines is ultimately set by healthcare providers and insurers. Governments globally may use a variety of measures to control costs, including, among others, proposing pricing reform or legislation, employing formularies to control costs, cross country collaboration and procurement, price cuts, mandatory rebates, health technology assessments, forced localization as a condition of market access, “international reference pricing” (i.e., the practice of a country linking its regulated medicine prices to those of other countries), quality consistency evaluation processes and volume-based procurement. In the U.S., we expect to see continued focus by Congress and the Biden Administration on regulating pricing resulting in legislative and regulatory efforts designed to control costs. Congress is currently considering a budget reconciliation package that includes drug pricing changes to Medicare Part B and D. We anticipate that these and similar initiatives will continue to increase pricing and access pressures globally. In the U.S., in August 2022, President Biden signed into law the IRA, which includes significant drug pricing provisions, including (i) inflation rebates, where drug manufacturers must pay a rebate to the government if the prices of their covered single-source drugs and biologics rise faster than the rate of inflation; (ii) Medicare Part D redesign whereby beneficiaries’ out-of-pocket costs are capped, payment obligation for initial coverage is redistributed with drug manufacturers paying 10% on all drugs and the coverage gap is eliminated, as well as requiring Part D plans to pay a larger portion of the catastrophic phase with drug manufacturers covering 20% of the costs; and (iii) Medicare negotiation, which requires the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to negotiate prices for certain drugs covered by Medicare Part B and Part D through a Drug Price Negotiation Program. We continue to evaluate the impact of the IRA on our business, operations and financial condition and results as the full effect of the IRA on our business and the pharmaceutical industry remains uncertain. In addition, in October 2022, President Biden signed an executive order that instructs the Secretary of HHS to consider whether to select for testing new health care payment and delivery models that would lower drug costs and promote access to innovative drug therapies for beneficiaries enrolled in the Medicare and Medicaid
39


programs. Also in the U.S., we implemented a policy in 2022 that will help improve contract pharmacy integrity. HHS has sent letters to numerous manufacturers that have also implemented contract pharmacy integrity initiatives expressing the view that their programs are in violation of the 340B statute, and referring those programs for potential enforcement action. We believe that our program is consistent with the statute. Additional legal or legislative developments with respect to the 340B program may have an adverse impact on our integrity initiative, and we may face enforcement action or penalties, depending upon such developments. For additional information, see the Item 1. Business––Pricing Pressures and Managed Care Organizations and ––Government Regulation and Price Constraints and the Item 1A. Risk Factors––Pricing and Reimbursement sections in our 20202021 Form 10-K and the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––Our Operating Environment section of the MD&A in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Product Supply
––We periodically encounter supply delays, disruptions and shortages, including due to a voluntary recall of a product. In July and August, Pfizer recalled 16 lots of Chantix in the U.S. due to the presence of a nitrosamine, N-nitroso-varenicline, at or above the FDA interim acceptable intake limit. In September 2021, Pfizer expanded its voluntary recall in the U.S. to include all lots of Chantix. We currently also have a voluntary recall across multiple markets and a global pause in shipments of Chantix. Nitrosamines are impurities common in water and foods and everyone is exposed to some level of nitrosamines.product recalls. In response to requests from various regulatory authorities, manufacturers across the pharmaceutical industry, including Pfizer, have beenare evaluating their product portfolios for the potential for the presence or formation of nitrosamines. This has led to recalls, including our voluntary recall of Chantix in 2021 and additional voluntary recalls initiated for other products in 2022 due to the presence of nitrosamines in pharmaceuticalabove the applicable acceptable intake limit, and may lead to additional recalls or other market actions for Pfizer products. We are currently undertaking an evaluation of our entire portfolio. For information on our Chantix recall in 2021 and risks related to product manufacturing, see the Item 1A. Risk Factors––Product Manufacturing, Sales and Marketing Risks section of our 20202021 Form 10-K.

The Global Economic Environment
––In addition to the industry-specific factors discussed above, we, like other businesses of our size and global extent of activities, are exposed to the economic cycle.cycles. For additional information, please see the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook––The Global Economic Environment section of the MD&A of our 20202021 Form 10-K.
Russia/Ukraine Conflict––Our global operations may be impacted by certain factors in the global economic environment including impacts of political or civil unrest or military action, including the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Consistent with our commitment to putting patients first, we are maintaining the supply of medicines to Russia, including the provision of needed medicines to patients already enrolled in clinical trials. Effective March 14, 2022, Pfizer is donating the equivalent of profits of our Russian subsidiary to causes that provide direct humanitarian support to the people of Ukraine, in addition to our ongoing efforts to support the humanitarian response in the region. To date, we have donated $20 million to 10 global and local non-governmental organizations to support humanitarian relief and response efforts. We will continue to support Ukrainian relief efforts through this method until peace is achieved. Additionally, we are not initiating new clinical trials in Russia, have stopped recruiting new patients in our ongoing clinical trials in the country, and halted all new investments with local suppliers intended to build manufacturing capacity in Russia. For both the nine months ended October 2, 2022 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the business of our Russia and Ukraine subsidiaries represented less than 1% of our consolidated revenues and assets, and while we are monitoring the effects of the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the situation continues to evolve and the long-term implications, including the broader economic consequences of the conflict, are difficult to predict at this time. While as of now, we do not anticipate any significant negative impacts on our business from this conflict, continued regional instability, geopolitical shifts, potential additional sanctions and other restrictive measures against Russia, neighboring countries or allies of Russia, any retaliatory measures taken by Russia, neighboring countries or allies of Russia, and actions by our customers or suppliers in response to such measures could adversely affect the global macroeconomic environment, our operations, currency exchange rates and financial markets, which could in turn adversely impact our business and results of operations.

––The continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our business, operations and financial condition and results.
Our Response to COVID-19
We are committedPfizer is continuing to confrontinghelp lead the public health challenge posed byglobal effort to confront the COVID-19 pandemic by collaborating with industry partners,advancing a vision for industry-wide collaboration while continuing to make significant investments in breakthrough science and global regulators and academic institutions to develop potential approaches to prevent and treat COVID-19. We have made some important advances, including, among others:manufacturing.
COVID-19 Vaccine Development Program:Comirnaty
The FDA has approvedWe have collaborated with BioNTech to jointly develop Comirnaty, in the U.S. to prevent COVID-19 in individuals 16 years of age and older as a two-dose primary series (30 µg per dose). Comirnaty is the first COVID-19mRNA-based coronavirus vaccine to be granted approval by the FDA and had previously been available to this patient population in the U.S. under an EUA since December 2020. The vaccine remains available to individuals 12 to 15 years old under an EUA granted by the FDA in May 2021. Emergency use and distribution of this product is subject to the conditions set forth in the EUA, and onlyhelp prevent COVID-19. For additional information, including information regarding EUAs for the duration of the declaration by the Department of Health & Human Services that circumstances exist justifying authorization of emergency use of drugs

and biological products during the COVID-19 pandemic under Section 564 of the U.S. Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the Declaration), or until revocation of the EUA by the FDA. The FDA has issued EUAs to certain other companies for products intended for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 and may continue to do so during the duration of the Declaration. In September 2021, the FDA authorized for emergency use a booster dose of Comirnaty/BNT162b2an Omicron-adapted bivalent vaccine for individuals 65ages 5 years of age and older, individuals 18 through 64 years of age at high risk of severe COVID-19, and individuals 18 through 64 years of age with frequent institutional or occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2. In addition, in October 2021,see the FDA authorized for emergency use a booster dose to eligible individuals who have completed primary vaccination with a different authorized COVID-19 vaccine. The FDA also authorized BNT162b2 (10 µg per dose) for emergency use for children 5 through 11 years of age. In November 2021, we and BioNTech submitted a request to the FDA to amend the EUA of a booster dose of Comirnaty/BNT162b2 to include all individuals 18 years of age and older. Comirnaty/BNT162b2 has been granted an approval or a temporary authorization in many other countries around the world in populations varying by country.Product Developments section within MD&A. We continue to evaluate our vaccine including for potential maternal and additional pediatric indications, and the short- and long-term safety and efficacy of Comirnaty. We are also studying vaccinesmonovalent, bivalent and variant-adapted vaccine candidates to potentially help prevent COVID-19 caused by new and emerging variants or an updatedof concern, as well as a next-generation mRNA vaccine as needed.candidate.
The companies have entered into agreements to supply pre-specified doses of Comirnaty in 2022 with multiple developed and emerging countries around the world and are continuing to deliver doses of Comirnaty to governments under such agreements. We also signed agreements with multiple countries to supply Comirnaty doses in 2022 and beyond2023 and are currently negotiating similar potential agreements with multiple other countries.countries as well. Additionally, we will continue our efforts to help

ensure equitable access to Comirnaty with gross profit to be split evenly with BioNTech, reflecting approximately 2.3 billion doses that are expected to be delivered in fiscal 2021 based on expected ordering patterns through the end of December 2021 for the U.S. and through the end of November 2021 for the rest of the world. Pfizer and BioNTech continue to expect to manufacture 3 billion doses in total by the end of December 2021. The difference between the number of doses expected to contribute to 2021 revenues versus the number of doses expected to be manufactured by year-end relates to anticipated international deliveries in December 2021, which will be recorded as revenue in 2022 due to our international fiscal calendar, and, to a lesser extent, doses expected to be produced but not yet delivered as of December 31, 2021. We anticipate delivering at least two billion doses to low- and middle-income countries by the end of 2022 - at least countries—one billion to beof which were delivered in 2021 and one billionapproximately 600 million of which were delivered in 2022, with the possibilityfirst nine months of 2022. Certain of the aforementioned doses to increase those deliveries if more orderslow- and middle-income countries are placed by these countries for 2022. One billion of these doses will bebeing supplied to the U.S. government at a not-for-profit price to be donated to the world’s poorest nations at no chargenations.
While to those countries.date sales of Comirnaty in the U.S. have been to the government, we expect in 2023, sales of Comirnaty in the U.S. will transition to commercial market sales only as we anticipate the expiration of current contracts and depletion of the vaccines purchased through them. Internationally, we expect sales of Comirnaty in international developed markets to generally be under government contracts in 2023, and in emerging markets, under a combination of private channels and government contracts; in both cases, we expect to generally transition to commercial markets in 2024.
As of November 1, 2022, we forecasted approximately $34 billion of revenues for Comirnaty in 2022, with gross profit to be split evenly with BioNTech, which includes doses expected to be delivered in fiscal 2022, primarily under contracts signed as of mid-October 2022.
COVID-19 Protease Inhibitors:Paxlovid
In JulyDecember 2021, the FDA authorized the emergency use of Paxlovid, a novel oral COVID-19 treatment, for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg [88 lbs]) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death. Paxlovid has been granted an authorization or approval in many other countries. In June 2022, we initiatedsubmitted an NDA to the PhaseFDA for approval of Paxlovid for the treatment of COVID-19 in both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals who are at high risk for progression to severe illness from COVID-19 consistent with the current EUA. For additional information, see the Product Developments section within MD&A.
We continue to evaluate Paxlovid in other populations, including in non-hospitalized, symptomatic, pediatric patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 who are at risk of progression to severe disease (Phase 2/3 EPIC-HRstudy, EPIC-PEDS (Evaluation of Protease Inhibition for COVID-19 in High-RiskPediatric Patients) study) and those who are immunocompromised, hospitalized with severe COVID-19 and at increased risk for poor outcomes due to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Paxlovid (PF-07321332; ritonavir), an investigational, novel oral antiviral therapeutic for COVID-19, which is a SARS-CoV2-3CL protease inhibitor and is co-administered with a low dose of ritonavir, in non-hospitalized, high-risk adult participants with COVID-19.In August 2021, we initiated the pivotal Phase 2/3 EPIC-SRdisease (Phase 2, EPIC-Hos (Evaluation of Protease Inhibition for COVID-19 in Standard-RiskHospitalized Patients) study to evaluate). We are also studying Paxlovid (PF-07321332; ritonavir) in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infectionthose who are at standard risk (i.e., low risk of hospitalization or death). In September 2021, we initiated the Phase 2/3 EPIC-PEP (Evaluation of Protease Inhibition for COVID-19 in Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) study to evaluate Paxlovid (PF-07321332; ritonavir) for the prevention of COVID-19 infection in adults living in the same household as someone with a confirmed COVID-19 infection. In November 2021, Pfizer announced the scheduled interim analysis of EPIC-HR, which showed an 89% reduction in risk of COVID-19-related hospitalization or death from any cause compared to placebo in patients treated within three days of symptom onset (primary endpoint). Pfizer plans to submit the data as part of its ongoing rolling submission to the FDA for EUA as soon as possible. pregnant.
We have also entered into agreements to supply pre-specified courses of treatmentPaxlovid to multiple countries, such as the U.S. and U.K., as well as agreements with several countriesUNICEF and are currently in negotiations with other marketsthe Global Fund to supply low- and middle-income countries. Through the product, if authorized or approved.nine months of 2022, we have shipped 31 million treatment courses globally, and we have capacity to meet the demand for Paxlovid in a flexible manner going forward.
In September 2021, the National InstituteAs of Allergy and Infectious Disease initiated a studyNovember 1, 2022, we forecasted approximately $22 billion of our intravenously administered investigational protease inhibitorrevenues for COVID-19, PF-07304814,Paxlovid in 2022, which is a SARS-CoV2-3CL protease inhibitor,includes treatment courses expected to be delivered in adults hospitalized with COVID-19,fiscal 2022, primarily relating to supply contracts signed or committed as part of the National Institutes of Health’s Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines (ACTIV)-3 program.mid-October 2022.
Despite our significant investments and efforts, any of our ongoing development programs related to COVID-19 may not be successful as the risk of failure is significant, and there can be no certainty these efforts will yield a successful product or that costs will ultimately be recouped.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business and Operations
As part of our on-going monitoring and assessment, we have made certain assumptions regarding the pandemic for purposes of our operational planning and financial projections, including assumptions regarding the duration, severity and the global macroeconomic impact of the pandemic, as well as COVID-19 vaccine and oral COVID-19 treatment revenues, supply and contracts, which remain dynamic. Despite careful tracking and planning, we are unable to accurately predict the extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business, operations and financial condition and results due to the uncertainty of future developments. We are focused on all aspects of our business and are implementing measures aimed at mitigating issues where possible, including by using digital technology to assist in operations for our commercial, manufacturing, R&D and corporate enabling functions globally.
As discussed in our 20202021 Form 10-K, in addition to our introduction of Comirnaty and Paxlovid, our business and operations were impacted in 2020 by the pandemic in various ways; certain of those impacts have continued in 2021.2022. For additional detail and discussion on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on certain of our products, sales and marketing, supply chain and clinical trials, see the Analysis of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income—Revenues by Geographyand and Revenues—Selected Product Discussion sections within this MD&A. In 2021, engagement with healthcare professionals has started to return to pre-pandemic levels&A and we continue to reviewthe Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and assess epidemiological data to inform in-person engagements with healthcare professionals Outlook—The Global Economic Environment and to ensure—COVID-19 Pandemic sections of the safetyMD&A of our colleagues, customers and communities. As part of our commitment to engaging our customers in the manner they prefer, we are also taking a hybrid approach of virtual and in person engagements and are seeing customer response to both approaches. During the pandemic, we adapted our promotional platform by amplifying our digital capabilities to reach healthcare professionals and customers to provide critical education and information, including increasing the scale of our remote engagement. Also, in 2021 we have continued not to see a significant disruption to our supply chain to date, and all of our manufacturing sites globally have continued to operate at or near normal levels. However, we are seeing an increase in overall demand in the industry for certain components and raw materials potentially constraining available supply, which could have a future impact on our business. We are continuing to monitor and implement mitigation strategies in an effort to reduce any potential impact.Form 10-K.
We will continue to pursue efforts to maintain the continuity of our operations while monitoring for new developments related to the pandemic. Future developments could result in additional favorable or unfavorable impacts on our business, operations or financial condition and results. If we experience significant disruption in our manufacturing or supply chains or significant disruptions in clinical trials or other operations, or if demand for our products is significantly reduced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, or if demand for our COVID-19 vaccine or oral COVID-19 treatment is reduced or no longer exists, we could experience a material adverse impact on our business, operations and financial condition and results.

Revenue Deductions
––Our gross product revenues are subject to a variety of deductions, which generally are estimated and recorded in the same period that the revenues are recognized. These deductions represent estimates of related obligations and, as such, knowledge and judgment are required when estimating the impact of these revenue deductions on gross sales for a reporting period. Historically, adjustments to these estimates to reflect actual results or updated expectations, have not been material to our overall business and generally have been less than 1% of revenues. Product-specific rebates, however, can have a significant impact on year-over-year individual product revenue growth trends.

Decline primarily resulting from:
continued impact of the lower remaining unvaccinated eligible adult population in the U.S. and the June 2019 change to the ACIP recommendation for the Prevnar 13 adult indication to shared clinical decision-making; and
the adult indication in the U.S. due to the ongoing prioritization of primary and booster vaccination campaigns for COVID-19 by U.S. health authorities, and a later start to the flu season compared to the prior year.
This decline was partially offset by:
U.S. growth in the pediatric indication, driven by government purchasing patterns.
YTD was also impacted by:
a decline, primarily in developed Europe, reflecting significantly increased adult demand in the prior year in Germany and certain other markets resulting from greater vaccine awareness for respiratory illnesses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

QTD declines largely driven by a previously announced amendment to the supply agreement with the EC whereby all doses scheduled for delivery in June through August 2022 would instead be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022 and similar shifts in scheduled deliveries to other developed countries, as well as slower demand in emerging markets. Declines were partially offset by growth in the U.S., driven primarily by deliveries of the Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent booster, following its EUA in late-August 2022, as well as the granting of an EUA in June 2022 for a primary vaccination series for children 6 months to less than 5 years of age.
YTD performance was largely driven by operational growth in international markets, led by increased sales of doses to serve emerging markets and increased deliveries to certain international developed markets in the first six months of 2022, as well as the granting of an EUA in the U.S. in October 2021 for a primary vaccination series for children 5 to 11 years of age and QTD U.S. growth drivers noted above, partially offset by QTD declines noted above.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased $3.9 billion in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to:
a reduction of $4.1 billion due to lower sales of Comirnaty (see the Analysis of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income––Revenues––Selected Product DevelopmentsDiscussion within MD&A); and
a $600 million favorable impact of foreign exchange and hedging activity,
partially offset by:
an increase of $800 million for Paxlovid, including a charge of $400 million related to excess raw materials.
Cost of sales increased $3.6 billion in the first nine months of 2022, mainly due to:
an unfavorable impact of $3.4 billion due to increased sales of Comirnaty, which includes a charge for the 50% gross profit split with BioNTech and applicable royalty expenses;
an increase of $1.8 billion for Paxlovid, which includes the charge of $400 million discussed above; and
a $450 million write off of inventory related to COVID-19 products that have exceeded or are expected to exceed their approved shelf-lives prior to being used, which was recorded in the second quarter of 2022,
partially offset by:
a $2.0 billion favorable impact of foreign exchange and hedging activity.
The decrease in Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by favorable changes in sales mix, including significant sales of Paxlovid, and lower sales of Comirnaty, as well as the favorable impacts of foreign exchange and hedging activity, partially offset by the charge of $400 million related to Paxlovid discussed above.
The decrease in Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues in the first nine months of 2022 was primarily due to the favorable impacts of Paxlovid, foreign exchange and hedging activity, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of Comirnaty, as well as the $450 million inventory write-off related to COVID-19 products and the charge of $400 million related to Paxlovid discussed above.
Selling, Informational and Administrative (SI&A) Expenses
SI&A expenses increased $492 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to:
an increase of $290 million for Paxlovid and Comirnaty marketing and promotional expenses and a higher provision for U.S. healthcare reform fees based on sales of Paxlovid and Comirnaty; and
an increase of $125 million for marketing and promotional expenses for recently launched products,
partially offset by:
a $112 million favorable impact of foreign exchange.
SI&A expenses increased $433 million in the first nine months of 2022, mainly due to:
an increase of $720 million for Paxlovid and Comirnaty marketing and promotional expenses and a higher provision for U.S. healthcare reform fees based on sales of Paxlovid and Comirnaty; and
an increase of $300 million for marketing and promotional expenses for recently launched products,
partially offset by:
a decrease of $270 million in our liability to be paid to participants of our supplemental savings plan; and
a $244 million favorable impact of foreign exchange.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses
R&D expenses increased $15 million in the third quarter, primarily due to:
increased costs of $290 million to develop recently acquired assets, as well as investments for certain oncology and non-COVID-19 vaccines programs,
partially offset by:
lower spending of $270 million on programs to prevent and treat COVID-19 and various late-stage clinical programs.
R&D expenses increased $898 million in the first nine months of 2022,primarily driven by increased costs of $800 million to develop recently acquired assets, as well as investments across multiple late-stage clinical programs, including development costs and at-risk manufacturing related to programs to prevent and treat COVID-19.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development (IPR&D) Expenses
Acquired IPR&D expenses decreased $237 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily reflecting an upfront payment to Arvinas and a premium paid on our equity investment in Arvinas totaling $706 million in the third quarter of 2021, partially offset by an upfront payment of $426 million related to the closing of the acquisition of ReViral in the third quarter of 2022.
46


Acquired IPR&D expenses decreased $120 million in the first nine months of 2022, largely due to:
the payments to Arvinas in the third quarter of 2021; and
the acquisition of Amplyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the second quarter of 2021,
partially offset by:
the upfront payment related to the closing of the acquisition of ReViral in the third quarter of 2022;
an upfront payment to Biohaven and a premium paid on our equity investment in Biohaven totaling $263 million in the first quarter of 2022; and
a $76 million premium paid on our equity investment in BioNTech to develop a potential mRNA vaccine against shingles in the first quarter of 2022.
See Note 2A and 2D for additional information.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets decreased $146 million in the third quarter and $265 million in the first nine months of 2022, primarily as a result of lower amortization of Comirnaty sales milestones to BioNTech.
Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives
Transforming to a More Focused Company Program––For a description of our program, as well as the anticipated and actual costs, see Note 3. The program savings discussed below may be rounded and represent approximations. In connection with restructuring our corporate enabling functions, we expect gross cost savings of $1.0 billion, or net cost savings, excluding merit and inflation growth and certain real estate cost increases, of $700 million, to be achieved primarily from 2021 through 2022. In connection with transforming our marketing strategy, we expect net cost savings of $1.4 billion, to be achieved primarily from 2022 through 2024. In connection with manufacturing network optimization, we expect net cost savings of $550 million to be achieved primarily from 2020 through 2023.
Certain qualifying costs for this program were recorded in the first three quarters of 2022 and 2021 and are reflected as Certain Significant Items and excluded from our non-GAAP measure of Adjusted Income. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Adjusted Income section within MD&A.
In addition to this program, we continuously monitor our operations for cost reduction and/or productivity opportunities, especially in light of the losses of exclusivity and the expiration of collaborative arrangements for various products.
Other (Income)/Deductions—Net
The period-over-period changes were primarily driven by:
net losses on equity securities in 2022 versus net gains recognized in 2021;
lower net periodic benefit credits associated with pension and postretirement plans incurred in 2022 compared to 2021; and
an intangible asset impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of 2022.

(a)Being developed in collaboration with BioNTech. PriorMyovant. In June 2022, the FDA accepted for review a sNDA for Myfembree (relugolix 40 mg, estradiol 1 mg, and norethindrone acetate 0.5 mg) proposing updates to BLA, Comirnaty/BNT162b2 for ages 16Myfembree’s U.S. Prescribing Information based on safety and up was available pursuant to an EUAefficacy data from the FDA on December 11, 2020. A booster dose received EUA from the FDA on September 22, 2021Phase 3 LIBERTY randomized withdrawal study in premenopausal women with heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids for individuals 65 years of age and older, individuals 18 through 64 years of age at high risk of severe COVID-19, and individuals 18 through 64 years of age with frequent institutional or occupational exposureup to SARS-CoV-2. In addition, in October 2021, the FDA authorizedtwo years. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act goal date for emergency use a booster dose to eligible individuals who have completed primary vaccination with a different authorized COVID-19 vaccine. A booster dose received conditional marketing authorization from the EMA on October 5, 2021 and approval in Japan on November 10, 2021 for 18 years of age and older. In November 2021, we and BioNTech submitted a request to the FDA to amend the EUA of a booster dose of Comirnaty/BNT162b2 to include all individuals 18 years of age and older.this sNDA is January 29, 2023.
(b)Being developed in collaboration with Merck KGaA, Germany.OPKO. In January 2022, Pfizer and OPKO received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the FDA for the BLA for somatrogon. Discussions are ongoing with the FDA regarding the CRL and how to best address their concerns.
(c)Erbitux® is a registered trademark of ImClone LLC. In the EU, we are developing in collaboration with the Pierre Fabre Group. In Japan, we are developing in collaboration with Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

(e)In July 2021, the FDA notified the company that it will not meet the PDUFA goal dates for the New Drug Application for abrocitinib and the supplemental New Drug Application for Xeljanz/Xeljanz XR (tofacitinib). The FDA cited its ongoing review of Pfizer's post-marketing safety study, ORAL Surveillance, evaluating tofacitinib in rheumatoid arthritis patients, as a factor for the extensions.In October 2021, the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive opinion recommending the approval of abrocitinib to treat moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in adults who are candidates for systemic therapy. The CHMP also adopted a positive opinion recommending an extension to the existing indications for Xeljanz (tofacitinib) to include the treatment of adults with active ankylosing spondylitis who have responded inadequately to conventional therapy.
(f)Being developed in collaboration with Myovant.
(g)Being developed in collaboration with OPKO.
(h)In October 2021, the CDC’s ACIP voted to recommend Prevnar 20 for routine use in adults. Specifically, the ACIP voted to recommend the following: (i) adults 65 years of age or older who have not previously received a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine or whose previous vaccination history is unknown should receive a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine

(either (either pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV20) or pneumococcal 15-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV15)). If PCV15 is used, this should be followed by a dose of pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23); and (ii) adults aged 19 years of age or older with certain underlying medical conditions or other risk factors who have not previously received a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine or whose previous vaccination history is unknown should receive a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (either PCV20 or PCV15). If PCV15 is used, this should be followed by a dose of PPSV23. The recommendations will be forwarded to the director of the CDC and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for review and following approval, the recommendations arewere published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Report on January 28, 2022. The publication also notes “for adults who have received pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) but have not completed their recommended pneumococcal vaccine series with PPSV23, one dose of Prevnar 20 may be used if PPSV23 is not available.” In October 2021, Pfizer2022, the CDC’s ACIP voted to recommend a single dose of Prevnar 20 to help protect adults previously vaccinated with Prevnar 13 or both Prevnar 13 and Lilly discontinuedPPSV23 against invasive disease and pneumonia caused by the global clinical development program20 Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes in Prevnar 20.
(d)In January 2022, the EMA approved the CMA of Paxlovid for tanezumab,treating COVID-19 in adults who do not require supplemental oxygen and who are at increased risk of the disease becoming severe. In June 2022, we announced the submission of an investigational nerve growth factor inhibitor. This decision was made following receipt of a Complete Response Letter fromNDA to the FDA for approval of Paxlovid for the tanezumab applicationtreatment of COVID-19 in osteoarthritis (OA)both vaccinated and a negative opinion adopted byunvaccinated individuals who are at high risk for progression to severe illness from COVID-19.
In December 2021, in light of the EMA's Committeeresults from the completed required postmarketing safety study of Xeljanz, ORAL Surveillance (A3921133), the U.S. label for Medicinal ProductsXeljanz was revised. In addition, in October 2022, the PRAC of the EMA concluded their assessment of JAK inhibitors authorized for Human Use oninflammatory diseases in the tanezumab Marketing Authorization ApplicationEU, including Xeljanz and Cibinqo, and recommended that risk minimization measures, including special warnings and precautions for use, should be revised for such JAK inhibitors. The resulting label changes are expected to be finalized in OA.January 2023. For additional information, see Item 1A. Risk Factors—Post-Authorization/Approval Data andthe Product Development sections of our 2021 Form 10-K.
In September 2021,China, the FDA issued a Drug Safety Communication (DSC) related to Xeljanz/Xeljanz XR and two competitors’ arthritis medicinesfollowing products received regulatory approvals in the same drug class, based on its completed review of the ORAL Surveillance trial. The DSC stated that the FDA will require revisions to the Boxed Warningslast twelve months: Cresemba for each of these medicines to include information about the risks of serious heart-related events,fungal infection and Besponsa for second line acute lymphoblastic leukemia, both in December 2021; Paxlovid for COVID-19 infection in February 2022; Cibinqo for atopic dermatitis in April 2022; Lorbrena for non-small cell lung cancer blood clots,(first line and death. In addition, the DSC indicates the FDA’s intention to limit approved uses of these products to certain patients who have not responded or cannot tolerate one or more tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers.second line therapy) in April 2022.

* Indicates calculation not meaningful or results are equal to or greater than 100%.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased $8.0 billion in the third quarter and $15.5 billion in the first nine months of 2021, primarily due to:
the impact of Comirnaty, which includes a charge for the 50% gross profit split with BioNTech and applicable royalty expenses;
increased sales volumes of other products, driven mostly by Pfizer CentreOne; and
the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange and hedging activity on intercompany inventory.
The increase in Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily due to all of the factors discussed above, in addition to the unfavorable impact of the voluntary recall and global pause in shipments of Chantix, partially offset by an increase in alliance revenues, which have no associated cost of sales.
The increase in Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues in the first nine months of 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily due to all of the factors discussed above, partially offset by an increase in alliance revenues, which have no associated cost of sales.
Selling, Informational and Administrative Expenses
SI&A expenses increased $248 million in the third quarter of 2021, mostly due to:
an increase in external, incremental costs directly related to implementing our cost-reduction/productivity initiatives; and
increased product-related spending across multiple therapeutic areas and other costs associated with activity that is closer to pre-pandemic levels as compared to the prior-year quarter.
SI&A expenses increased $759 million in the first nine months of 2021, mostly due to:
increased product-related spending across multiple therapeutic areas and other costs associated with activity that is closer to pre-pandemic levels as compared to the prior-year period;
an increase in external, incremental costs directly related to implementing our cost-reduction/productivity initiatives;
costs related to Comirnaty, driven by a higher provision for healthcare reform fees based on sales;
the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange; and
an increase to expense resulting from the increase in our liability to be paid to participants of our supplemental savings plan,
partially offset by:
lower spending on Chantix following the loss of patent protection in the U.S. in November 2020.
50


Research and Development (R&D) Expenses
R&D expenses increased $1.1 billion in the third quarter primarily due to:
an upfront payment related to the global collaboration agreement with Arvinas to develop and commercialize ARV-471; and
increased investments across multiple therapeutic areas, including additional spending related to the development and at-risk manufacturing of the COVID-19 anti-viral programs.
R&D expenses increased $1.9 billion in the first nine months of 2021, primarily due to:
increased investments across multiple therapeutic areas, including additional spending related to the development and at-risk manufacturing of the COVID-19 anti-viral programs;
the upfront payment related to the global collaboration agreement with Arvinas to develop and commercialize ARV-471;
a charge for IPR&D related to an asset acquisition completed in the second quarter of 2021; and
an increase in the value of the portfolio performance share grants reflecting changes in the price of Pfizer’s common stock, as well as management’s assessment of the probability that the specific performance criteria will be achieved,
partially offset by:
the non-recurrence of 2020 upfront payments to Valneva and BioNTech; and
lower spending across the Inflammation & Immunology and Internal medicine portfolios.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets increased $120 million in the third quarter and $204 million in the first nine months of 2021, primarily as a result of amortization of capitalized Comirnaty sales milestones to BioNTech.
Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives
Transforming to a More Focused Company Program
For a description of our program, as well as the anticipated and actual costs, see Note 3. The program savings discussed below may be rounded and represent approximations. In connection with restructuring our corporate enabling functions, we expect gross cost savings of $1.0 billion, or net cost savings, excluding merit and inflation growth and certain real estate cost increases, of $700 million to be achieved primarily from 2021 through 2022. In connection with transforming our marketing strategy, we expect net cost savings of $1.3 billion, to be achieved primarily from 2022 through 2024. In connection with manufacturing network optimization, including legacy cost reduction initiatives, we expect net cost savings of $300 million to be achieved primarily from 2020 through 2022.
Certain qualifying costs for this program were recorded in the first three quarters of 2021 and 2020 and are reflected as Certain Significant Items and excluded from our non-GAAP measure of Adjusted Income. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Adjusted Income section of this MD&A.
In addition to this program, we continuously monitor our operations for cost reduction and/or productivity opportunities, especially in light of the losses of exclusivity and the expiration of collaborative arrangements for various products.
Other (Income)/Deductions—Net
Other income—net increased $3.6 billion in the third quarter of 2021, mainly due to:
net periodic benefit credits recorded in the third quarter of 2021 versus net periodic benefit costs recorded in the third quarter of 2020;
the non-recurrence of certain asset impairment charges that were incurred in the third quarter of 2020; and
net gains on equity securities in the third quarter of 2021 versus net losses on equity securities recognized in the third quarter of 2020.
Other income—net increased $4.8 billion in the first nine months of 2021, mainly due to:
net periodic benefit credits recorded in the first nine months of 2021 versus net periodic benefit costs recorded in the first nine months of 2020;
higher net gains on equity securities; and
the non-recurrence of certain asset impairment charges that were incurred in the first nine months of 2020.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE: ADJUSTED INCOME
Adjusted income is an alternative measure of performance used by management to evaluate our overall performance in conjunction with otheras a supplement to our GAAP reported performance measures. As such, we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this measure. We use Adjusted income, certain components of Adjusted income and
50


Adjusted diluted EPS to present the results of our major operations––the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of biopharmaceutical products worldwide––prior to considering certain income statement elements as follows:

Additionally, the payout for Performance Share Awardsperformance share awards is determined in part by Adjusted net income, which is derived from Adjusted income. Starting withBeginning in the 2020first quarter of 2022, we no longer exclude any expenses for acquired IPR&D from our non-GAAP Adjusted results but we continue to exclude certain of these expenses for our financial results for annual incentive compensation purposes. The bonus pool funding, which is largely based on financial performance, year and consistent with shareholder feedback received in 2019, the Compensation Committee of the BOD approved adding anis adjusted by our R&D pipeline achievement factor to the existing short-term incentive financial metrics.performance, as measured by four metrics, and performance against certain of our environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics, and may be further modified by our Compensation Committee’s assessment of other factors.
Adjusted income and its components and Adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, are limited in their usefulness to investors. Because of their non-standardized definitions, they may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies and are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance. A limitation of these measures is that they provide a view of our operations without including all events during a period, and do not provide a comparable view of our performance to peers. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for their most directly comparable GAAP measures of Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders, components of Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders and EPS attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders—diluted, respectively. See the accompanying reconciliations of certain GAAP reported to non-GAAP adjusted information for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 and 2020 below.
We also recognize that, as internal measures of performance, these measures have limitations, and we do not restrict our performance-management process solely to these measures. We also use other tools designed to achieve the highest levels of performance. For example, our R&D organization has productivity targets, upon which its effectiveness is measured. In
52


addition, total shareholder return, both on an absolute basis and relative to a publicly traded pharmaceutical index, plays a significant role in determining payouts under certain of our incentive compensation plans.
Purchase Accounting AdjustmentsBeginning in the first quarter of 2022, our reconciliation of certain GAAP reported to non-GAAP adjusted information is updated to reflect the following, and prior-period information has been revised to conform to the current period presentation:
Adjusted income excludes certain significant purchase accounting impacts resulting from business combinationsIncome and netAdjusted Diluted EPS
Acquired IPR&D—Non-GAAP Adjusted financial measures include expenses for all acquired IPR&D costs incurred in connection with upfront and milestone payments on collaboration and in-license agreements, including premiums on equity securities, as well as asset acquisitions. These impacts can include the incremental charge to cost of sales from the saleacquisitions of acquired inventoryIPR&D. Previously, certain of these items were excluded from our non-GAAP adjusted results. Acquired IPR&D expenses that was written uppreviously would have been excluded from non-GAAP Adjusted income but are now included in both GAAP Reported income and non-GAAP Adjusted income were approximately: (i) $426 million pre-tax ($389 million, net of tax), or $0.07 per share, in the third quarter of 2022; (ii) $765 million pre-tax ($665 million, net of tax), or $0.12 per share, in the first nine months of 2022; (iii) $706 million pre-tax ($540 million, net of tax), or $0.09 per share, in the third quarter of 2021 and (iv) $892 million pre-tax ($726 million, net of tax), or $0.13 per share, in the first nine months of 2021.
51


Amortization of Intangible Assets—We began excluding all amortization of intangibles from non-GAAP Adjusted income, compared to fair value,excluding only amortization of intangibles related to large mergers or acquisitions under the increaseprior methodology, and presenting it as a separate reconciling line. Previously, the adjustment under the prior methodology was included as part of a reconciling line entitled “Purchase accounting adjustments” that we no longer separately present. The impact of this policy change resulted in fair valuebenefits of $0.01 and $0.04 on Adjusted diluted EPS in the acquired finite-lived intangible assets,third quarter and to a much lesser extent, depreciation related tofirst nine months of 2022, respectively, and $0.02 and $0.07 in the increase/decrease in fair valuethird quarter and first nine months of the acquired fixed assets, amortization related to the increase in fair value of acquired debt, and the fair value changes for contingent consideration. Therefore, the 2021, respectively.
Acquisition-Related ItemsAdjusted income measure includes the revenues earned upon the sale of the acquired products without considering the acquisition cost of those products.
Acquisition-Related Items
Adjusted income excludescontinues to exclude certain acquisition-related items, which are comprised of transaction, integration, restructuring charges and additional depreciation costs for business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction and represent costs that were incurred to restructure and integrate businesses as a result of an acquisition. We have made no adjustments for resulting synergies. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, acquisition-related items may now include purchase accounting impacts that previously would have been included as part of a reconciling line entitled “Purchase accounting adjustments” that we no longer separately present, such as: (i) the incremental charge to cost of sales from the sale of acquired inventory that was written up to fair value; (ii) depreciation related to the increase/decrease in fair value of acquired fixed assets; (iii) amortization related to the increase in fair value of acquired debt and (iv) the fair value changes for contingent consideration.
Discontinued Operations
Adjusted income excludescontinues to exclude the results of discontinued operations, as well as any related gains or losses on the disposal of such operations. We believe that this presentation is meaningful to investors because, while we review our therapeutic areas and product lines for strategic fit with our operations, we do not build or run our business with the intent to discontinue parts of our business. Restatements due to discontinued operations do not impact compensation or change the Adjusted income measure for the compensation in respect of the restated periods, but are presented for consistency across all periods.

Certain Significant Items
Adjusted income excludescontinues to exclude certain significant items representing substantive and/or unusual items that are evaluated individually on a quantitative and qualitative basis. Certain significant items may be highly variable and difficult to predict. Furthermore, in some cases it is reasonably possible that they could reoccur in future periods. For example, although major non-acquisition-related cost-reduction/productivitycost-reduction programs are specific to an event or goal with a defined term, we may have subsequent programs based on reorganizations of the business, cost-reduction/cost productivity or in response to LOE or economic conditions. Legal charges to resolve litigation are also related to specific cases, which are facts and circumstances specific and, in some cases, may also be the result of litigation matters at acquired companies that were inestimable, not probable or unresolved at the date of acquisition. Gains and losses on equity securities, and pension and postretirement actuarial remeasurement gains and losses have a very high degree of inherent market volatility, which we do not control and cannot predict with any level of certainty and because we do not believe including these gains and losses assists investors in understanding our business or is reflective of our core operations and business. Unusual items represent items that are not part of our ongoing business; items that, either as a result of their nature or size, we would not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis; items that would be non-recurring; or items that relate to products we no longer sell.

Beginning in 2021, we exclude pension and postretirement actuarial remeasurement gains and losses from our measure of Adjusted income because of their inherent market volatility, which we do not control and cannot predict with any level of certainty and because we do not believe including these gains and losses assists investors in understanding our business or is reflective of our core operations and business.

Operating activities from continuing operationsOperating activities from continuing operations$26,660 $6,364 
The change is driven primarily by higher net income and advance payments in 2021 for Comirnaty recorded in deferred revenue and the impact of timing of receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business, including a $7.8 billion accrual for the gross profit split due to BioNTech, partially offset by a non-cash change in Other Adjustments, net, primarily resulting from an increase in unrealized gains on equity securities.
Operating activities from continuing operations$20,685 $26,993 
The change was driven primarily by (i) a decrease in the change in amounts due to BioNTech for the gross profit split for Comirnaty (see Note 8), as well as (ii) the impact of timing of receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business, partially offset by (iii) higher net income adjusted for non-cash items, including an increase from non-cash unrealized losses on equity securities recognized in 2022, compared to unrealized gains recognized in 2021.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations
––Cash flows from discontinued operations primarily relate to our former Upjohn Business and the Mylan-Japan collaborationpreviously divested businesses (see Note 2A2B). In 2020, investing and financing activities from discontinued operations primarily reflect investments in money market funds with proceeds from issuances of long-term debt.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND MARKET RISK

We rely largely on operating cash flows, short-term investments or commercial paper borrowings and long-term debt to provide for our liquidity requirements. We strive to improve cash inflows through working capital efficiencies. Due to our significant operating cash flows, which is a key strength of our liquidity and capital resources and our primary funding source, as well as our financial assets, access to capital markets, revolving credit agreements, and available lines of credit, and revolving credit agreements, we believe that we have, and will maintain, the ability to meet our liquidity needs to support ongoing operations, our capital allocation objectives, and our contractual and other obligations for the foreseeable future. We have takenFor additional information, including information about off-balance sheet arrangements, see the Analysis of Financial Condition, Liquidity, Capital Resources and will continue to take a conservative approach toMarket Risk section within MD&A in our financial investments2021 Form 10-K.

For information on our money market changes. Ourfunds, available-for sale-debt securities and long-term debt, investments consist primarily of high-quality, highly liquid, well-diversified available-for-sale debt securities.see Note 7.

Debt Capacity––Lines of Credit

We have available lines of credit and revolving credit agreements with a group of banks and other financial intermediaries. We typically maintain cash and cash equivalent balances and short-term investments which, together with our available revolving credit facilities, are in excess of our commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. ––As of October 3, 2021,2, 2022, we had access to a $7 billion committed U.S. revolving credit facility expiring in 2025.2026, which may be used for general corporate purposes including to support our commercial paper borrowings. In addition to the U.S. revolving credit facility, our lenders have provided us an additional $377$332 million in lines of credit, of which $336$302 million expire within one year. Essentially all lines of credit were unused as of October 3, 2021.2, 2022.
Selected MeasuresCapital Allocation Framework––Our capital allocation framework is primarily devised to facilitate (i) the achievement of Liquiditymedical breakthroughs through R&D investments and Capital Resourcesbusiness development activities and (ii) returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. See the Overview of Our Performance, Operating Environment, Strategy and Outlook section within this MD&A and within the MD&A of our 2021 Form 10-K.

In August 2021,keeping with Pfizer’s transformation into a more focused, global leader in science-based innovative medicines and vaccines, we completedintend to exit our 32% ownership interest in Haleon in a public offering of $1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured sustainability notes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of business and in connection with the sale of assets and businesses and other transactions, we often indemnify our counterparties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with the transaction or that are related to events and activities. For more information on guarantees and indemnifications, see Note 12B.
Additionally, certainIn March 2022, in connection with GSK’s previously announced planned demerger, the Consumer Healthcare JV issued notes of $8.75 billion, €2.35 billion and £700 million with various maturities. GSK guaranteed the notes and we agreed to indemnify GSK for 32% of any amount payable by GSK. In conjunction with the completion of GSK’s demerger transactions in July 2022, GSK’s guarantee and our co-promotion or license agreements give our licensors or partners the rights to negotiate for, or in some cases to obtain under certain financial conditions, co-promotion or other rights in specified countries with respect to certainrelated indemnification of our products.

Share-Purchase Plans and Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreements
At October 3, 2021, our remaining share-purchase authorization was approximately $5.3 billion, with no repurchases in the first nine months of 2021.GSK’s guarantee were terminated. See Note 122C.
Global Economic Conditions––Beginning in our 2020 Form 10-K forsecond quarter of 2022, our operations in Turkey function in a hyperinflationary economy.

Our current and projected dividends provide a return to shareholders while maintaining sufficient capital to invest in growing our business. Our dividends are not restricted by debt covenants. While the dividend level remains a decision of Pfizer’s BOD and will continue to be evaluated in the context of future business performance, we currently believe that we can support future annual dividend increases, barring significant unforeseen events.Form 10-K.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Recently Adopted Accounting Standard
See Note 1B.
Recently Issued Accounting Standard,Standards, Not Adopted as of October 3, 20212, 2022
Standard/DescriptionEffective DateEffect on the
Financial Statements
Reference rate reform provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued after 2021 because of reference rate reform.
The new guidance provides the following optional expedients:
1.Simplify accounting analyses under current U.S. GAAP for contract modifications.
2.Simplify the assessment of hedge effectiveness and allow hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform to continue.
3.Allow a one-time election to sell or transfer debt securities classified as held to maturity that reference a rate affected by reference rate reform.
Elections can be adopted prospectively at any time through December 31, 2022.We are assessing the impact, of the provisions of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606. This new guidance will generally result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts that were recorded by the acquiree. Previously, these amounts were recognized by the acquirer at fair value as of the acquisition date.
January 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted.Webut currently do not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2022, the FASB issued final guidance to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered when measuring fair value. Recognizing a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account is not permitted.
January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted.
We are assessing the impact, but currently do not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2022, the FASB issued final guidance to enhance transparency about an entity’s use of supplier finance programs. Under the final guidance, the buyer in a supplier finance program is required to disclose information about the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented.
January 1, 2023, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective January 1, 2024. Early adoption is permitted.We are assessing the impact, but currently we expect this new guidance to result in increased disclosure in the notes to financial statements.
