Note 2 — Separation of AbbVie Inc. | |
On January 1, 2013, Abbott completed the separation of AbbVie Inc. (AbbVie), which was formed to hold Abbott’s research-based proprietary pharmaceuticals business. Abbott and AbbVie entered into transitional services agreements prior to the separation pursuant to which Abbott and AbbVie are providing to each other, on an interim transitional basis, various services. Transition services may be provided for up to 24 months with an option for a one-year extension by the recipient. Services being provided by Abbott include certain information technology and back office support. Billings by Abbott under these transitional services agreements are recorded as a reduction of the costs to provide the respective service in the applicable expense category in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. This transitional support will enable AbbVie to establish its stand-alone processes for various activities that were previously provided by Abbott and does not constitute significant continuing support of AbbVie’s operations. | |
For a small portion of AbbVie’s operations, the legal transfer of AbbVie’s assets (net of liabilities) did not occur with the separation of AbbVie on January 1, 2013, in certain countries, due to the time required to transfer marketing authorizations and other regulatory requirements in each of these countries. Under the terms of the separation agreement with Abbott, AbbVie is subject to the risks and entitled to the benefits generated by these operations and assets. The majority of these operations were transferred to AbbVie in 2013 and 2014 with the remainder expected to be transferred in 2015. These assets and liabilities have been presented as held for disposition in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. At September 30, 2014, the assets and liabilities held for disposition consist of trade accounts receivable of $124 million, inventories of $121 million, equipment of $5 million, other assets of $62 million, trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $268 million and other liabilities of $1 million. Abbott’s obligation to transfer the net assets held for disposition to AbbVie of $43 million is included in Other accrued liabilities. | |
Abbott has retained all liabilities for all U.S. federal and foreign income taxes on income prior to the separation, as well as certain non-income taxes attributable to AbbVie’s business. AbbVie generally will be liable for all other taxes attributable to its business. | |
Earnings from discontinued operations in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 include the recognition of $5 million of tax expense and $37 million of net tax benefits, respectively, primarily as a result of the resolution of various tax positions related to AbbVie’s operations for years prior to the separation. Earnings from discontinued operations in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 includes a favorable adjustment to tax expense of $193 million as a result of the resolution of various tax positions related to AbbVie’s operations for years prior to the separation. | |

On July 14, 2014, Abbott announced that it will sell its developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business to Mylan Inc. (Mylan) for equity ownership of a newly formed entity that will combine Mylan’s existing business and Abbott’s developed markets pharmaceuticals business, and will be publicly traded. Historically, this business was included in Abbott’s Established Pharmaceutical Products segment. Abbott will retain its branded generics pharmaceuticals business in emerging markets. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. As a result of the planned disposition of the developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business, the current and prior year operating results of this business are reported as part of discontinued operations on the Earnings from Discontinued Operations, net of tax line in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Discontinued operations include an allocation of interest expense assuming a uniform ratio of consolidated debt to equity for all of Abbott’s historical operations. | ||||||||||||||

At the close of this transaction Abbott and Mylan will enter into transitional services agreements pursuant to which Abbott and Mylan will provide various back office support services to each other on an interim transitional basis. Transition services may be provided for up to 2 years. Billings by Abbott under these transitional services agreements will be recorded as a reduction of the costs to provide the respective service in the applicable expense category in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. This transitional support will not constitute significant continuing support of Mylan’s operations. Abbott will also enter into manufacturing supply agreements with Mylan related to certain products, with the supply term ranging from 3 to 10 years and requiring a 2 year notice prior to termination. The cash flows associated with these transitional service and manufacturing supply agreements are not expected to be significant. | ||||||||||||||
The assets of the operations held for disposition and the liabilities to be assumed in the disposition related to the businesses noted above, as well as the AbbVie assets and liabilities discussed in Note 2 are classified as held for disposition in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014.

Including the assumption of approximately $570 million of debt, the total cost of the acquisition was $3.4 billion. The acquisition of CFR more than doubles Abbott’s branded generics pharmaceutical presence in Latin America and further expands its presence in emerging markets. CFR’s financial results are included in Abbott’s financial statements beginning on September 26, 2014, the date that Abbott acquired control of this business. The impact of the acquired operations on Abbott’s operating results was not significant for the third quarter of 2014. Abbott owns 99.9% of the outstanding ordinary shares of CFR. The fair value of the non-controlling interest at the acquisition date was approximately $4 million. The acquisition was funded with cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the acquisition is shown in the table below. The allocation of the fair value of the acquisition will be finalized when the valuation is completed. | |||||

Acquired intangible assets consist primarily of product rights for currently marketed products and are amortized over 12 to 16 years (average of 15 years). The goodwill is primarily attributable to intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill is identifiable to the Established Pharmaceutical Products segment. The acquired tangible assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $94 million, trade accounts receivable of approximately $177 million, inventory of approximately $187 million, other current assets of approximately $52 million, property and equipment of approximately $209 million, and other long-term assets of approximately $146 million. Assumed liabilities consist of borrowings of approximately $570 million, trade accounts payable and other current liabilities of approximately $185 million and other noncurrent liabilities of approximately $15 million. | |||||
Annualized net sales for CFR Pharmaceuticals are expected to total approximately $800 million. Had the acquisition of CFR Pharmaceuticals taken place on January 1, 2013, the consolidated net sales and earnings of Abbott would not have been significantly different from the reported amounts. | |||||
In August 2013, Abbott acquired 100 percent of IDEV Technologies, net of debt, for $310 million, in cash. The acquisition of IDEV Technologies expands Abbott’s endovascular portfolio. The final allocation of the fair value at the date of acquisition resulted in non-deductible acquired in-process research and development of approximately $170 million which is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until regulatory approval or discontinuation; non-deductible definite-lived intangible assets of approximately $66 million; non-deductible goodwill of approximately $112 million; and net deferred tax liabilities of $47 million. Acquired intangible assets consist of developed technology and are being amortized over 11 years. | |||||
In August 2013, Abbott acquired 100 percent of OptiMedica for $260 million, in cash, plus additional payments up to $150 million to be made upon completion of certain development, regulatory and sales milestones. The acquisition of OptiMedica provides Abbott with an immediate entry point into the laser assisted cataract surgery market. The final allocation of the fair value at the date of acquisition resulted in non-deductible definite-lived intangible assets of approximately $160 million; non-deductible acquired in-process research and development of approximately $60 million which is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until regulatory approval or discontinuation; non-deductible goodwill of approximately $130 million; net deferred tax liabilities of $49 million; and contingent consideration of approximately $70 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on an independent appraisal. Acquired intangible assets consist of developed technology and are being amortized over 18 years. | |||||

The total amount of goodwill reported was $10.0 billion at September 30, 2014 and $9.8 billion at December 31, 2013. In the nine months ended September 30, 2014, foreign currency translation adjustments decreased goodwill by approximately $293 million. The acquisition of CFR Pharmaceuticals increased goodwill by $1.6 billion, purchase price allocation adjustments associated with other recent acquisitions decreased goodwill by approximately $30 million, and approximately $1.0 billion of goodwill was moved to Non-current assets held for disposition due to the planned disposition of the developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business. The amount of goodwill related to reportable segments at September 30, 2014 was $3.4 billion for the Established Pharmaceutical | |
Products segment, $286 million for the Nutritional Products segment, $444 million for the Diagnostic Products segment, and $2.9 billion for the Vascular Products segment. There was no reduction of goodwill relating to impairments. | |
The gross amount of amortizable intangible assets, primarily product rights and technology, was $10.5 billion as of September 30, 2014 and $12.2 billion as of December 31, 2013, and accumulated amortization was $4.5 billion as of September 30, 2014 and $6.8 billion as of December 31, 2013. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which relate to in-process research and development acquired in a business combination, was approximately $114 million at September 30, 2014 and $266 million at December 31, 2013. The acquisition of CFR Pharmaceuticals increased intangible assets by approximately $1.8 billion. Approximately $840 million of net intangible assets related to the developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals businesses was reclassified to Non-current assets held for disposition due to the planned disposition of these businesses. Foreign currency translation adjustments decreased intangible assets by approximately $127 million. The remaining change in intangibles primarily reflects the movement of an IDEV-related intangible asset, Supera, to amortizable assets due to the receipt of regulatory approval in the first quarter of 2014. Abbott’s estimated annual amortization expense for intangible assets related to continuing operations is approximately $560 million in 2014, $640 million in 2015, $610 million in 2016, $600 million in 2017 and $520 million in 2018. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized over 2 to 20 years (weighted average 12 years). | |

Certain Abbott foreign subsidiaries enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage exposures to changes in foreign exchange rates for anticipated intercompany purchases by those subsidiaries whose functional currencies are not the U.S. dollar. These contracts, with notional amounts totaling approximately $1.36 billion at September 30, 2014 and approximately $140 million at December 31, 2013, are designated as cash flow hedges of the variability of the cash flows due to changes in foreign exchange rates and are recorded at fair value. Accumulated gains and losses as of September 30, 2014 will be included in Cost of products sold at the time the products are sold, generally through the next twelve months. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness was not significant in 2014 and 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Abbott enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage currency exposures for foreign currency denominated third-party trade payables and receivables, and for intercompany loans and trade accounts payable where the receivable or payable is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. For intercompany loans, the contracts require Abbott to sell or buy foreign currencies, primarily European currencies and Japanese yen, in exchange for primarily U.S. dollars and other European currencies. For intercompany and trade payables and receivables, the currency exposures are primarily the U.S. dollar, European currencies and Japanese yen. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Abbott held $13.0 billion and $13.8 billion, respectively, of such foreign currency forward exchange contracts. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Abbott has designated foreign denominated short-term debt as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign subsidiary of approximately $485 million and approximately $505 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Accordingly, changes in the reported value of this debt due to changes in exchange rates are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Abbott is a party to interest rate swap contracts totaling approximately $1.5 billion at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 to manage its exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate debt. These contracts are designated as fair value hedges of the variability of the fair value of fixed-rate debt due to changes in the long-term benchmark interest rates. The effect of the hedge is to change a fixed-rate interest obligation to a variable rate for that portion of the debt. Abbott records the contracts at fair value and adjusts the carrying amount of the fixed-rate debt by an offsetting amount. No hedge ineffectiveness was recorded in income in 2014 or 2013 for these hedges. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Abbott has been identified as a potentially responsible party for investigation and cleanup costs at a number of locations in the United States and Puerto Rico under federal and state remediation laws and is investigating potential contamination at a number of company-owned locations. Abbott has recorded an estimated cleanup cost for each site for which management believes Abbott has a probable loss exposure. No individual site cleanup exposure is expected to exceed $4 million, and the aggregate cleanup exposure is not expected to exceed $15 million. | |
Abbott is involved in various claims and legal proceedings, and Abbott estimates the range of possible loss for its legal proceedings and environmental exposures to be from approximately $65 million to $90 million. The recorded accrual balance at September 30, 2014 for these proceedings and exposures was approximately $75 million. This accrual represents management’s best estimate of probable loss, as defined by FASB ASC No. 450, “Contingencies.” Within the next year, legal proceedings may occur that may result in a change in the estimated loss accrued by Abbott. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of all such proceedings and exposures with certainty, management believes that their ultimate disposition should not have a material adverse effect on Abbott’s financial position, cash flows, or results of operations. | |

Taxes on earnings from continuing operations reflect the estimated annual effective rates and include charges for interest and penalties, as well as the impact of changes in the Chilean tax rate. Earnings from Discontinued Operations, net of tax, in the first nine months of 2014 reflects the recognition of $101 million of net tax benefits primarily as a result of the resolution of various tax positions related to prior years. The conclusion of these tax matters decreased the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $134 million. | |
In the third quarter of 2013 taxes on earnings reflect the recognition of $241 million of tax benefits in continuing operations as the result of the favorable resolution of various tax positions pertaining to prior years. 2013 Earnings from Discontinued Operations, net of tax, reflect the recognition of $193 million of tax benefits as a result of the favorable resolution of various tax positions related to AbbVie’s operations prior to separation. The conclusion of these tax matters decreased the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $560 million. In addition, as a result of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 signed into law in January 2013, Abbott recorded a tax benefit to taxes on continuing operations of approximately $103 million in the first quarter of 2013 for the retroactive extension of the research tax credit and the look-through rules of section 954(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code to the beginning of 2012. | |
Tax authorities in various jurisdictions regularly review Abbott’s income tax filings. Abbott believes that it is reasonably possible that the recorded amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $350 million, including cash adjustments, within the next twelve months as a result of concluding various domestic and international tax matters. | |
