Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following policies are required interim updates to those disclosed in Note 1 of the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006:

Stock-Based Compensation: Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R). This statement requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations as compensation expense (based on their fair values) over the vesting period of the awards. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method and therefore, prior periods were not restated. Under the modified prospective method, companies are required to record compensation expense for (1) the unvested portion of previously issued awards that remain outstanding at the initial date of adoption and (2) for any awards issued, modified or settled after the effective date of the statement. See Note 6 for further discussion.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles:In accordance with SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were as follows:

(In thousands)	Pharmaceuticals		Consumer Healthcare		Animal Health		Total
Balance at December 31, 2005	$	2,720,302	$	582,533	$	533,559	$	3,836,394
Additions		57,084		—		—		57,084
Currency translation adjustments		25,090		838		473		26,401
Balance at September 30, 2006	$	2,802,476	$	583,371	$	534,032	$	3,919,879

In April 2006, the Company increased its ownership in a joint venture in Japan with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, Limited from 70% to 80%, which resulted in additions toGoodwill of $57.1 million andOther intangibles, net of accumulated amortization of $34.1 million.

During the 2006 second quarter, the Company acquired certain licenses related to a product currently marketed by the Company. The cost of $92.6 million has been recorded withinOther intangibles, net of accumulated amortizationand will be amortized over the life of the license agreement.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 158,Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). SFAS No. 158 requires the Company to (a) recognize a plan’s funded status in its statement of financial position, (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year, and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur through other comprehensive income. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

Based on the Company’s funded status of plan obligations disclosed in Note 8 to the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the estimated impact of adopting SFAS No. 158 would have been a reduction to December 31, 2005 total assets of approximately $200.0 million, an increase in total liabilities of approximately $1,300.0 million and a reduction in equity of approximately $1,500.0 million. There would have been no impact to the Company’s December 31, 2005 consolidated statements of income or cash flows. The impact on underlying debt covenants will not affect the Company’s existing financing agreements. The actual impact of the implementation of SFAS No. 158 on the December 31, 2006 financial statements will differ due to changes in economic assumptions such as discount rates, measurement of fair values of assets, and other changes in actuarial assumptions that will occur in connection with the upcoming December 31, 2006 measurement date.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact this provision may have on its financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements(SAB 108), to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires the quantification of misstatements based on their impact to both the balance sheet and the income statement to determine materiality. The guidance provides for a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to correct for misstatements for errors that were not deemed material under a company’s prior approach but are material under the SAB 108 approach. SAB 108 is effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The Company is assessing the potential impact SAB 108 may have on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(FIN 48) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in the financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition of a previously recognized tax position, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosures. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007 with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is assessing the potential impact the adoption of this Interpretation may have on its financial position or results of operations.

Net periodic benefit cost for pensions was higher in the 2006 third quarter and nine months as compared with 2005 due primarily to higher service and interest cost (resulting from a decrease in the discount rate), changes in assumptions used to estimate expected lump sum distributions and a change in the incidence of disability, offset by a higher expected return on plan assets due to an increase in the Company’s plan assets as a result of contributions made.

For other postretirement benefit plans, the net periodic benefit cost was lower in the 2006 third quarter and first nine months as compared with 2005 due primarily to plan amendments related to the establishment of retiree medical contribution requirements effective January 1, 2007.

As of September 30, 2006, contributions of $161.4 million were made to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and payments of $76.3 million were made for other postretirement benefits. The Company expects to contribute approximately $170.0 million to its defined benefit pension plans and make payments of approximately $100.0 million for its other postretirement benefits in 2006.

Note 5. Productivity Initiatives

The Company continued with its long-term global productivity initiatives, which were launched in 2005, to adapt to the changing pharmaceutical industry environment. The guiding principles of these initiatives include innovation, cost savings, process excellence and accountability, with an emphasis on improving productivity. In July 2006, the Company established the Global Business Operations initiative as part of the productivity initiatives and entered into a master services agreement with Accenture LLP (Accenture). Accenture will provide the Company with transactional processing and administrative support services over a broad range of areas, including information systems and financial, human resources and accounting services. Transactional processing services are scheduled to commence in 2007.

The Company recorded charges of $80.2 million ($54.9 million after-tax or $0.04 per share-diluted) in the 2006 third quarter and $154.8 million ($106.4 million after-tax or $0.08 per share-diluted) in the 2006 first nine months related to the productivity initiatives. For the 2006 third quarter, these charges included severance and other related personnel costs of $45.2 million, accelerated depreciation for certain facilities expected to be closed of $24.5 million and period costs related to the implementation of the initiatives of $10.5 million. For the 2006 first nine months, these charges included severance and other related personnel costs of $64.1 million, accelerated depreciation for certain facilities expected to be closed of $62.6 million and period costs related to the implementation of the initiatives of $28.1 million.

In the 2005 third quarter and first nine months, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $136.0 million related to its long-term productivity initiatives. These charges included severance and other related personnel costs of $119.2 million, accelerated depreciation for certain facilities expected to be closed of $6.6 million and period costs related to the implementation of the initiatives of $10.2 million. These charges were partially offset during the 2005 third quarter and first nine months by a pre-tax gain of $40.2 million related to the sale of certain assets. The impact of the charges less the asset sale gain on the 2005 third quarter and first nine months was $95.8 million ($63.4 million after-tax or $0.05 per share-diluted).

At September 30, 2006, the reserve balance for personnel costs related primarily to committed employee severance obligations, which, in accordance with the specific productivity initiatives, are expected to be paid primarily over the next 36 months.

As other strategic decisions are made, the Company expects additional costs, such as asset impairment, accelerated depreciation, personnel costs and other exit costs, as well as certain implementation costs associated with these initiatives, to continue for several years.

Note 6. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations as compensation expense (based on their fair values) over the vesting period of the awards.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company accounted for its stock incentive plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25). Under APB No. 25, no stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in net income, other than for the Company’s restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock awards, as options granted under all other plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

The Company has several Stock Incentive Plans, which provide for the granting of stock options, restricted stock and performance share awards. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted. Stock options vest ratably over a three-year period and have a contractual term of 10 years. Restricted stock awards consist of time-vested restricted stock units and are generally converted to shares of the Company’s common stock on the third anniversary of the date of the award. Performance share awards consist of performance-based restricted stock units and are converted to shares (up to 200% of the award) based on the achievement of certain earnings performance criteria related to a future performance year and/or on the achievement of certain multi-year market-based performance criteria. Under the Stock Incentive Plans, awards may be granted with respect to a maximum of 175,000,000 shares, of which up to 22,000,000 shares may be used for restricted stock issuances. At September 30, 2006, there were 28,765,072 shares available for future grants under the Stock Incentive Plans, of which up to 4,881,798 shares were available for restricted stock awards.

The Company selected the modified prospective method as prescribed under SFAS No. 123R, which requires companies (1) to record compensation expense for the unvested portion of previously issued awards that remain outstanding at the initial date of adoption and (2) to record compensation expense for any awards issued, modified or settled after the effective date of the statement. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company began expensing stock options in the 2006 first quarter. The Company’s income before income taxes and net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $50.2 million and $35.9 million ($0.03 per share-diluted) lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB No. 25. The Company’s income before income taxes and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $185.2 million and $132.4 million ($0.10 per share-diluted) lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB No. 25. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, no expense was recorded for stock options. The 2006 third quarter included stock-based compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock and performance share awards and was recorded as follows: $8.9 million inCost of Goods Sold, $55.3 million inSelling, General and Administrative Expenses and $25.2 million inResearch and Development Expenses, as well as a related tax benefit of $25.5 million. The 2006 first nine months included stock-based compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock and performance share awards and was recorded as follows: $24.3 million inCost of Goods Sold, $187.0 million inSelling, General and Administrative Expenses and $85.9 million inResearch and Development Expenses, as well as a related tax benefit of $84.8 million.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows (reflected in accrued taxes). SFAS No. 123R requires the cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits (tax deductions realized in excess of the compensation costs recognized for the options exercised) from the date of adoption of SFAS No. 123R to be classified as financing cash flows. Therefore, excess tax benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, have been classified as financing cash flows.

Under the modified prospective method, results for prior periods have not been restated to reflect the effects of implementing SFAS No. 123R. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share for the 2005 third quarter and first nine months as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation as amended by SFAS No. 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, Amendment of SFAS No. 123, to stock-based employee compensation:

Basic—adjusted	$0.61		$2.06
Diluted—as reported	$0.64		$2.16
Diluted—adjusted	$0.60		$2.03

Pro forma stock-based compensation expense should include amounts related to the accelerated amortization of the fair value of options granted to retirement-eligible employees. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company recognized pro forma stock-based compensation expense related to retirement-eligible employees over the award’s contractual vesting period. The impact of accelerated vesting on the pro forma stock-based compensation expense would have resulted in an expense reduction of $5.1 million and $8.4 million, both net of tax for the 2006 and 2005 third quarter, respectively. The impact of accelerated vesting on the pro forma stock-based compensation expense would have resulted in an expense reduction of $18.6 million and $11.8 million, both net of tax for the 2006 and 2005 first nine months, respectively.

The Company recorded the impact of accelerated vesting for options granted to retirement-eligible employees subsequent to January 1, 2006 and will continue to provide pro forma disclosure related to those options granted in prior periods.

The fair value of issued stock options is estimated on the date of grant utilizing a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that incorporates the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock, historical volatility of the Company’s stock price and other factors. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company changed its method for determining expected volatility. For all new options granted after January 1, 2006, blended volatility rates, which incorporate both implied and historical volatility rates are utilized, rather than relying solely on historical volatility rates. Based on available guidance, we believe blended volatility rates that combine market-based measures of implied volatility with historical volatility rates are a more appropriate indicator of the Company’s expected volatility. The expected life of stock options is estimated based on historical data on exercises of stock options, post vesting forfeitures and other factors to estimate the expected term of the stock options granted. For options granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, the Company has adjusted the assumption for the expected life of stock options from five years to six years as a result of continued assessment of historical experiences. The effect of the changes in these assumptions on income before income taxes, net income and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was not material. The expected dividend yields are based on the approved annualized dividend rate in effect on the date of grant. The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant for instruments with a remaining term similar to the expected life of the options. In addition, the Company applies an expected forfeiture rate when amortizing stock-based compensation expenses. The estimate of the forfeiture rate is based primarily upon historical experience of employee turnover. As individual grant awards become fully vested, stock-based compensation expense is adjusted to recognize actual forfeitures.

The weighted-average fair value of the options granted in the 2006 first nine months was $12.92 per option as determined using the following assumptions:

Range of expected volatility	24.0% - 25.5%
Weighted-average expected volatility	24.3%
Expected life of options	6 years
Risk-free interest rate	4.43% - 5.20%
Expected dividend yield	2.1%

Note 7. Contingencies and Commitments

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability, patent, commercial, antitrust and environmental matters, of a nature considered normal to its business, the most important of which are described below and/or have been described in the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed since the filing of the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. It is the Company’s policy to accrue for amounts related to these legal matters if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable. Additionally, the Company records insurance receivable amounts from third-party insurers when recovery is probable.

Like all pharmaceutical companies in the current legal environment, the Company is involved in litigation, including product liability and patent litigation, which is significant to its business, complex in nature and difficult to predict. Product liability claims, regardless of their merits or their ultimate outcome, are costly and divert management attention and may adversely affect the Company’s reputation and demand for its products, as well as result in significant damages. Patent litigation, if resolved unfavorably, can injure the Company’s business by subjecting the Company’s products to earlier than expected generic competition, and also can give rise to payment of significant damages or restrictions on the Company’s future ability to operate its business.

The Company intends to vigorously defend itself and its products in the litigation described below and in its prior filings, and believes its legal positions are strong. However, in light of the circumstances discussed above, it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of the Company’s legal proceedings and therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings could be material to the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Product Liability Litigation

Diet Drug Litigation

The litigation against the Company alleging that the Company’s former weight loss products,REDUX and/orPONDIMIN, caused certain serious conditions, including valvular heart disease and primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is described in additional detail in the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. Total diet drug litigation payments were $1,364.1 million and $2,642.6 million for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of which $233.7 million and $795.5 million for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months, respectively, were made in connection with the nationwide settlement (including the Seventh Amendment). Payments under the national settlement may continue, if necessary, until 2018. The 2006 first nine months payments of $2,642.6 million included a $400.0 million payment that was made towards the Seventh Amendment and was paid from the Seventh Amendment security fund. As of September 30, 2006, $590.5 million of the Seventh Amendment security fund was included inOther current assets including deferred taxes and $255.0 million was included inOther assets including deferred taxes. The amounts in the security fund are owned by the Company and will earn interest income for the Company while residing in the security fund. The Company has taken charges in connection with theREDUX andPONDIMIN diet drug matters which to date total $21,100.0 million. The $3,070.0 million reserve balance at September 30, 2006 represents management’s best estimate, within a range of outcomes, of the aggregate amount required to cover diet drug litigation costs. It is possible that additional reserves may be required in the future, although the Company does not believe that the amount of any such additional reserves is likely to be material.

Approximately 63,000 individuals who chose to leave the national settlement filed Intermediate or Back-End opt out lawsuits against the Company. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had reached agreements, or agreements in principle, to settle the claims of approximately 99% of these claimants. As of September 30, 2006, approximately 50,000 of these claimants had received settlement payments following the dismissal of their cases.

As of October 15, 2006, the Company was a defendant in approximately 95 pending lawsuits (excluding those lawsuits that have been settled in principle in connection with the Intermediate or Back-End opt out settlements described in the preceding paragraph) in which the plaintiff alleges a claim of PPH, alone or with other alleged injuries. During the course of settlement discussions, certain plaintiffs’ attorneys have informed the Company that they represent additional individuals who claim to have PPH, but the Company is unable to evaluate whether any such additional purported cases of PPH would meet the national settlement agreement’s definition of PPH. The Company continues to work toward resolving the claims of individuals who allege that they have developed PPH as a result of their use of the diet drugs and intends to vigorously defend those PPH cases that cannot be resolved prior to trial. On August 8, 2006, a jury in the Philadelphia County, PA Court of Common Pleas hearing the case ofWier, et al. v. Wyeth, Inc.,et al., No. 2004-06-001646, returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff following the first phase of a bifurcated trial. The jury found that plaintiff had developed PPH as a result of her use ofPONDIMIN and set the amount of plaintiff’s compensatory damages at $300,000. Prior to the start of the second, liability phase of the trial, the case was settled.

HT Litigation

As of October 15, 2006, the Company is defending approximately 5,000 actions brought on behalf of approximately 8,500 women in various state and federal courts throughout the United States (including in particular the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas and the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County) for personal injuries, including claims for breast cancer, stroke, ovarian cancer and heart disease, allegedly resulting from their use ofPREMARIN orPREMPRO.

On September 15, 2006, a jury in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas returned a verdict in favor of the Company in the case ofReeves, et al. v. Wyeth, No. 4:05CV00163 WRW. On October 4, 2006, a jury in the Philadelphia County, PA Court of Common Pleas hearing the case ofNelson, et al. v.

The jury found that plaintiff had developed breast cancer as a result of her use ofPREMPRO and set the amount of compensatory damages for plaintiff and her co-plaintiff husband at $1.5 million. Prior to the start of the second, liability phase of the trial, a mistrial was declared by the court and the first phase verdict was set aside. TheNelson case is expected to be re-tried in January 2007. Trials of additional hormone therapy cases are also scheduled for 2007.

Pantoprazole sodium is the active ingredient used inPROTONIX. As further reported therein, the Company, together with its licensing partner, Altana, has instituted litigation against two generic companies in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging infringement of the pantoprazole compound patent expiring in 2010, and seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against infringement of this patent prior to its expiration.

In July 2006, the Company received notification from KUDCO Ireland, Ltd. (Kudco), that Kudco has filed an ANDA seeking FDA approval to market generic pantoprazole sodium 20 mg and 40 mg delayed release tablets. The allegations in Kudco’s notification concern both the pantoprazole compound and tablet formulation patents discussed in the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. On August 4, 2006, the Company, together with Altana, filed suit against Kudco in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging infringement of the patent expiring in 2010 and seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against infringement of this patent prior to its expiration.

EFFEXORLitigation

On July 26, 2006, Alza Corporation (Alza) filed suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against the Company and one of its subsidiaries alleging infringement of United States Patent No. 6,440,457 B1. Alza alleges that the manufacture, use, and sale ofEFFEXOR XR by the Company in the United States willfully infringes the Alza patent.

The Company filed an Answer and Counterclaims, claiming that the Alza patent is not infringed, and is invalid and unenforceable for inequitable conduct. The Company also asserts that Alza’s patent is unenforceable against Wyeth because of estoppel, laches, unclean hands, and because Wyeth has an implied license to the Alza patent. The Company further asserts that Alza is equitably estopped from proceeding with this patent litigation against the Company, and that Alza’s actions constitute breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Following Alza’s filing of the lawsuit, the Company filed a Request for Reexamination of the Alza patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which Request has been granted. Together with the filing of its Answer and Counterclaim, the Company also asked the District Court to stay the litigation pending the outcome of this reexamination proceeding. The Company will vigorously defend itself against Alza’s allegations.

As discussed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006, the Company filed suit in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against Anchen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Anchen) and related parties, alleging that the filing of an ANDA by Anchen seeking FDA approval to market 150 mg venlafaxine HCl extended release capsules infringes certain of the Company’s patents. On October 10, 2006, the Company received notice from Anchen that Anchen had filed an ANDA seeking FDA approval to market 37.5 mg and 75 mg venlafaxine HCl extended release capsules. Anchen alleges that these same patents are invalid, unenforceable and/or not infringed. The Company is evaluating the allegations in Anchen’s notice.

ALTACELitigation

As discussed in the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Aventis Pharma Deutschland and King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King) filed a patent infringement suit against Lupin Ltd. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively, Lupin), in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, alleging that Lupin infringes the composition of matter patent for ramipril, which expires in October 2008, by filing an ANDA with the FDA seeking approval to also market generic 1.25 mg, 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg ramipril capsules. The plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief against infringement of this patent. The Company co-promotesALTACE (ramipril) together with King. Lupin alleged that the ramipril patent is invalid and/or unenforceable. Just prior to trial, the Court granted King’s motion for summary judgment of infringement under the doctrine of equivalents. At trial, the Court granted King’s motion for judgment as a matter of law concerning Lupin’s unenforceability defense. On July 17, 2006, following the conclusion of trial and post-trial briefing, the Court issued its opinion on the remaining issues in the case, finding for King and against Lupin, in holding that Lupin had failed to meet its burden of proof in arguing the patent was invalid. Lupin has appealed the District Court’s decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Note 8. Company Data by Segment

The Company has four reportable segments: Wyeth Pharmaceuticals (Pharmaceuticals), Wyeth Consumer Healthcare (Consumer Healthcare), Fort Dodge Animal Health (Animal Health) and Corporate. The Company’s Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Healthcare and Animal Health reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. The reportable segments are managed separately because they manufacture, distribute and sell distinct products and provide services that require differing technologies and marketing strategies. The Company’s Corporate segment is responsible for the treasury, tax and legal operations of the Company’s businesses and maintains and/or incurs certain assets, liabilities, income, expense, gains and losses related to the overall management of the Company which are not allocated to the other reportable segments.

(3) Income before income taxes for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months included gains from product divestitures of approximately $4,400 and $37,300, respectively, in the Pharmaceuticals segment primarily from the divestiture of product rights toMINOCINin the U.S. Income before income taxes for the 2005 third quarter and first nine months included gains from product divestitures of $3,500 and $130,800, respectively, in the Pharmaceuticals segment primarily from the divestiture of product rights toSYNVISC. In addition, income before taxes for the 2005 third quarter and first nine months included gains from product divestitures of $33,500 and $49,200, respectively, in the Consumer Healthcare segment primarily from the divestiture ofEPOCLER in Brazil and theSOLGAR line of products.

Note 9. Income Taxes

In the 2006 third quarter, the Company recorded a favorable income tax adjustment of $70.4 million ($0.05 per share-diluted) within theProvision for Income Taxes due to a release of a previously established valuation allowance against state deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets result primarily from the recording of certain accruals and reserves that currently are not deductible for tax purposes and from tax loss carry forwards. Valuation allowances had previously been provided for certain state deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of generating sufficient taxable income in these state jurisdictions as a result of theREDUX andPONDIMIN diet drug litigation. Given the progress made in resolving the diet drug litigation claims in the 2006 third quarter (see Note 7 for further discussion), there is greater certainty regarding the status of this litigation. The Company considered these circumstances in re-evaluating the realizability of the state deferred tax assets.

We also have a reportable Corporate segment primarily responsible for the treasury, tax and legal operations of our businesses. The Corporate segment maintains and/or incurs certain assets, liabilities, income, expense, gains and losses related to our overall management that are not allocated to the other reportable segments.

2006 First Nine Months Financial Highlights

· Worldwide net revenue increased 8% over the 2005 first nine months to $15,130.5 million;

· Pharmaceuticals net revenue increased 10% over the 2005 first nine months, reflecting the strong performance ofPREVNAR,ENBREL, EFFEXOR,Nutrition,PROTONIX, thePREMARINfamily of products,rhBMP-2 andTYGACILoffset, in part, by lower sales ofZOTON, which is experiencing generic competition;

· Consumer Healthcare net revenue results reflect the absence ofSOLGAR products, which were divested in the 2005 third quarter, and lower sales ofROBITUSSINandADVIL COLD & SINUSproducts, which were impacted by retailer actions and state and federal legislation related to pseudoephedrine-containing products. The 2006 first nine months results also reflect higher sales ofADVILandCENTRUM; and

· Animal Health net revenue increased 5% over the 2005 first nine months, reflecting higher sales of livestock and companion animal products, partially offset by lower sales of equine products.

Our Principal Products

Set forth below is a summary of net revenue performance of our principal products in the 2006 first nine months:

(Dollars in millions)	2006 First Nine Months Net Revenue	% Increase over 2005 First Nine Months

· EFFEXOR is our novel antidepressant for treating adult patients with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder and panic disorder.EFFEXOR remains our largest franchise and the number one selling antidepressant globally.

· PREVNAR is our vaccine for preventing invasive pneumococcal disease in infants and children. It is the first and only vaccine product ever to achieve $1,000.0 million in annual net revenue. Revenue growth forPREVNAR in the 2006 third quarter was largely driven by activities associated with the commencement of national immunization programs in the United Kingdom, Germany and Mexico. The addition ofPREVNAR to the national immunization schedules in Greece, Norway, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands was also recently announced.PREVNAR is the world’s best selling vaccine and is now available in 70 countries worldwide.

· PROTONIX is our proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for gastroesophageal reflux disease. The PPI category is highly competitive, and we have continued to focus on our strategy of higher value prescriptions within the third-party managed care segment. We are also tailoring our marketing programs to capitalize on unique local market opportunities.PROTONIX continues to have the highest preferred access with health maintenance organizations (HMOs) among the branded PPIs and is the leader among branded PPIs on Medicare drug plan formularies.

· ENBREL is our treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and other conditions. We have exclusive rights toENBREL outside of the U.S. and Canada and we co-promoteENBREL with Amgen in the U.S. and Canada. ENBREL maintains its leading U.S. market position in rheumatology and dermatology. In the 2006 first quarter, programs were implemented to assist seniors in the enrollment for Medicare Part D plans. Additional initiatives were launched in the 2006 second quarter to assist patients with out-of-pocket co-pay costs. These additional initiatives are designed to assist both Medicare and non-MedicareENBREL patients. In July 2006, we launched theSure Click auto injector in the U.S. to improve the customer’s convenience of use ofENBREL. During 2005, we launchedENBREL in Japan for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis through our joint venture with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, Limited (Takeda).

· Alliance revenue includes our share of profits from sales ofENBREL in the U.S. and Canada, where we co-promote the product with Amgen; our share of profits from sales ofALTACE, which is co-promoted with King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King); and certain revenue earned related to sirolimus, the active ingredient inRAPAMUNE, which coats theCYPHER coronary stent marketed by Johnson & Johnson. In July 2006, King and Wyeth announced that the companies had entered into an Amended and Restated Co-Promotion Agreement regardingALTACE. Effective January 1, 2007, King will assume full responsibility for the selling and marketing ofALTACE. For the remainder of 2006, the Wyeth sales force will continue to promote the product with King. Wyeth will receive a fee thereafter through 2010 generally based on a percentage ofALTACE net sales and subject to annual payment limits.

· Nutrition includes our infant formula and toddler productsNURSOY,PROGRESS,PROMIL andS-26.

· OurPREMARIN family of products remains the standard therapy to help women address serious menopausal symptoms.

· ZOSYN (TAZOCIN internationally), our broad-spectrum I.V. antibiotic, is the only currently marketed I.V. antibiotic proven to help minimize the emergence of bacterial resistance. We launched our new, advanced formulation ofZOSYN/TAZOCIN in the U.S. in the 2006 first quarter. While demand forZOSYN remains strong, results in the 2006 first half were limited by our recovery from manufacturing supply limitations that began in the 2005 fourth quarter. We are working to improve supply and continue to anticipate stronger growth for theZOSYN franchise for the remainder of the year.

For a full description of our principal products, the preceding summary should be read in conjunction with our principal product summary in the overview section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006.

Our Product Pipeline

Our New Drug Application (NDA) filings with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) forPRISTIQ (desvenlafaxine succinate), a serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), for the treatment of major depressive disorder in 2005 and vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause in 2006 remain under regulatory review. With respect toPRISTIQ for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), we expect to receive an FDA action letter in January 2007. With respect toPRISTIQ as a non-hormonal treatment for vasomotor symptoms (VMS) associated with menopause, we expect to receive an FDA action letter in April 2007.

We are currently conducting additional clinical trials in MDD, including studies at lower dosage levels, and plan to begin to evaluate the results of the low-dose studies in early 2007 before determining launch plans forPRISTIQ for the treatment of MDD. Our actual course and launch timing for the MDD indication will be predicated on three elements: FDA approval of our NDA for MDD, the results of the low-dose studies and the progress of FDA review of our NDA for VMS.

Our 2005 NDA filing with the FDA forLYBREL (levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol), a new low-dose, non-cyclic continuous combination oral contraceptive, remains under regulatory review. In June 2006, we received an approvable letter forLYBREL from the FDA, and submitted a complete response including additional stability data regarding theLYBREL manufacturing method. The FDA also indicated that it plans to convene a public meeting of contraceptive experts to discuss the clinical aspects ofLYBREL. The anticipated topics include a review of the Pearl Index, which is a calculation of the pregnancy rates among study participants looking specifically at the data from the U.S. study, bleeding patterns, and the discontinuation rate among women takingLYBREL. We recently committed to the FDA to amend ourLYBRELNDA to reflect a change to an improved manufacturing process. If FDA reviews this amendment in the current cycle we would expect action on our NDA no earlier than May 2007. We expect to launchLYBREL in 2007, subject to satisfactory resolution of items outlined in the approvable letter.

During the 2006 second quarter, we filed an NDA forVIVIANT (bazedoxifene) for prevention of osteoporosis. On October 5, 2006, we filed an NDA forTORISEL (temsirolimus) for treatment of renal cell carcinoma, and on October 11, 2006, in concert with our partner Solvay Pharmaceuticals, an NDA was filed for bifeprunox for the treatment of schizophrenia.

We expect to make an NDA filing for methylnaltrexone (subcutaneous formulation) for the treatment of opioid-induced side effects in patients with advanced illness (in concert with our partner Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Progenics)) in early 2007. In July 2006, we received Fast Track status from the FDA for the intravenous form of methylnaltrexone being investigated for the treatment of postoperative ileus, a serious impairment of gastrointestinal function that delays recovery and can prolong hospitalization. The FDA Fast Track designation facilitates development and can expedite regulatory review of drugs that the FDA recognizes to potentially address an unmet medical need for serious or life-threatening conditions. An NDA submission is planned for the intravenous form of methylnaltrexone in late 2007 or early 2008.

In August 2006, the FDA conducted a pre-approval inspection at our Guayama, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility in connection with our currently pending NDA filing forPRISTIQ for the treatment of MDD. While the FDA did not issue any inspectional observations, the scope of the inspection was limited to manufacturing processes specific to thePRISTIQ MDD NDA. FDA approval of our pending NDA filings forPRISTIQ for the VMS indication,LYBREL, VIVIANT and bifeprunox will depend, among other factors, on satisfactory completion of pre-approval inspections for these products at our Guayama facility. As more fully described below under “Our Challenging Business Environment,” the facility is currently the subject of a Warning Letter from the FDA. FDA approval of each of the above mentioned NDAs is also contingent upon the FDA determining that the cGMP compliance status of the facility is satisfactory, which we do not expect to occur by the January 2007 FDA action date for our NDA forPRISTIQ for the treatment of MDD.

Completing these major NDA filings and preparing for these new product launches over this relatively short time frame is one of the most ambitious product introduction objectives in our history and will present significant operational challenges.

We continue to actively pursue in-licensing opportunities and strategic collaborations to supplement our internal research and development efforts, such as the collaborations we entered into in 2005 with Progenics and with Trubion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. We face heavy competition from our peers in securing these relationships but believe that the excellence of our research and development and commercial organizations and the breadth of our expertise across traditional pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals and vaccines position us well. We intend to continue to aggressively pursue these kinds of opportunities.

Our Diet Drug Litigation

We continue to address the challenges of our diet drug litigation. In January 2005, we announced that we were in discussions with plaintiffs’ attorneys representing a number of individuals who opted out of the National Diet Drug Settlement regarding a proposed process for settling downstream opt out cases (as well as the primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) and initial opt out cases handled by plaintiffs’ counsel participating in the process). As a result of the discussions to date, as of September 30, 2006, we had reached agreements, or agreements in principle, to settle the claims of approximately 99% of the approximately 63,000 Intermediate and Back-End opt out claimants who have filed lawsuits against us. As of September 30, 2006, approximately 50,000 of these claimants had received settlement payments following the dismissal of their cases. We will continue to vigorously defend those cases that are not settled.

The $3,070.0 million reserve balance at September 30, 2006 represents our best estimate, within a range of outcomes, of the aggregate amount required to cover diet drug litigation costs. It is possible that additional reserves may be required in the future, although we do not believe that the amount of any such additional reserves is likely to be material.

Change in Accounting for Share-Based Payments

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment (Statement 123R), which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations as compensation expense (based on their fair values) over the vesting period of the awards. The 2006 third quarter and first nine months results included stock option expense, which reduced diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.03 and $0.10, respectively. The 2005 third quarter and first nine months results, which have not been restated to include the impact of expensing stock options, would have been lower by approximately $0.04 and $0.13 per share-diluted, respectively, had we expensed stock options. See Note 6 to the consolidated condensed financial statements for further discussion related to stock-based compensation. The impact of expensing stock options for 2006 is projected to be approximately $0.12 to $0.13 per share-diluted. The actual amount of compensation expense to be recorded is highly dependent on the number of options granted and fluctuations in our stock price.

Our Challenging Business Environment

Generally, we face the same difficult challenges that all research-based pharmaceutical companies are confronting. Pressure from government agencies, insurers, employers and consumers to lower prices through leveraged purchasing plans, use of formularies, importation, reduced reimbursement for prescription drugs and other means poses significant challenges for us. Generic products, which Wyeth no longer markets, are growing as a percentage of total prescriptions. Insurers and employers are increasingly demanding that patients start with a generic product before switching to a branded product if necessary, and our products increasingly compete with generic products. Regulatory burdens and safety concerns are increasing both the cost and time it takes to bring new drugs to market. Post-marketing regulatory and media scrutiny of product safety also are increasing.

On May 9, 2006, we received a Warning Letter from the FDA that raised several specific concerns about manufacturing at our Guayama, Puerto Rico facility. We submitted a timely response to the FDA, and we are working cooperatively with the agency to address the issues raised in the Warning Letter as quickly and effectively as possible. There are no patient safety concerns associated with the issues raised in the Warning Letter. In response to the Warning Letter, we have taken a number of steps to reinforce compliance at the Guayama, Puerto Rico site, including improving key standard operating procedures, hiring new personnel, undertaking additional training, expanding the senior leadership presence in Puerto Rico and engaging an independent expert consultant to supplement our oversight of good manufacturing practices, and we will be undertaking additional remedial actions. Although it remains our goal to resolve these issues as quickly as possible, we do not expect resolution of these issues before early 2007, and we cannot exclude the possibility that these issues will result in further regulatory action or delays in the approval of new products or release of approved products manufactured at the Guayama, Puerto Rico facility.

Additionally, we are faced with the moderating rate of growth of some of our major products, principallyEFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) and the otherEFFEXORproducts. The FDA has requested that all antidepressant manufacturers re-examine data regarding suicidality from clinical trials in adults using the same approach developed for evaluating pediatric data in 2004. The Company has responded to the FDA’s request. The FDA has indicated that it may hold an advisory committee meeting on this topic but one has not yet been scheduled.

Late in 2005, we reached agreement with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Teva) on a settlement of the U.S. patent litigation pertaining to Teva’s generic version of ourEFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) antidepressant. This agreement permits Teva to launch generic versions ofEFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) andEFFEXOR(immediate release tablets) in the United States pursuant to certain licenses effective beginning on July 1, 2010 and June 15, 2006, respectively, subject to earlier launch based on specified events. Teva also will be permitted to launch a generic version ofEFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) in Canada pursuant to a license effective beginning on December 1, 2006, subject to earlier launch based on specified events. In connection with these licenses, Teva will pay us specified percentages of gross profit from sales of each of the Teva generic versions. We estimate that approximately two-thirds of EFFEXOR (immediate release tablets) prescriptions in the United States have been converted to Teva’s generic versions since its August 2006 launch, and we expect Teva’s launch of a generic version ofEFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) in Canada to decrease our sales of these products significantly in that market. While it is possible that Teva’s introduction of a generic version ofEFFEXOR (immediate release tablets) in the United States could adversely impact our U.S. sales ofEFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules), we have not experienced an impact to date and continue to anticipate that any impact will be modest given the significant differences in product profiles.

Additionally, generic versions ofEFFEXOR(immediate release tablets) andEFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) have been introduced in select markets outside of the United States and Canada. We expect the impact on our results during the balance of this year and 2007 to be modest and slow to accrue over time given that these markets outside of the United States and Canada represent a small portion of worldwide sales.

Our sales ofZOSYN could be significantly affected if the product faces generic competition in the United States and other major markets in the future. In February 2007, the compound patent claiming one of the active ingredients of ZOSYNexpires in the United States. Additional process and manufacturing patents extend beyond this date. Our new formulation ofZOSYN was approved by the FDA in 2005 and has additional patent protection extending post-2020. Depending upon the FDA’s response to the petitions filed by Wyeth and third parties regardingZOSYN, which are discussed in greater detail in Note 7 of our Quarterly Report on 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006 and Note 14 of our 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we could face generic competition in the United States as early as the 2007 first quarter. The compound patents claiming one of the active ingredients ofZOSYN in most major countries outside the United States where we have patent protection expire in the 2007 third quarter. Thus, we may face generic competition in these countries as early as the 2007 third quarter.

Our Productivity Initiatives

We are continuing with our long-term global productivity initiatives, collectively called “Project Springboard,” which were launched in 2005 to adapt to the changing pharmaceutical industry environment. The guiding principles of these initiatives include innovation, cost savings, process excellence and accountability, with an emphasis on improving productivity. In connection with these initiatives, we entered into a master services agreement with Accenture LLP (Accenture) in July 2006. Accenture will provide us with transactional processing and administrative support services over a broad range of areas, including information systems and financial, human resources and accounting services. Transactional processing services are scheduled to commence in 2007. We are reviewing our production network to achieve optimal efficiencies and to reduce production costs for our global core products. As a result of these and other related initiatives, we recorded pre-tax charges of $80.2 million and $154.8 million in the 2006 third quarter and first nine months, respectively. As of September 30, 2006, total net pre-tax charges of $345.4 million have been recorded in connection with the productivity initiatives since their inception. Additional costs associated with these initiatives are expected to continue for several years as further strategic decisions are made; costs are projected to total approximately $750.0 million to $1,000.0 million, on a pre-tax basis. For the balance of 2006 and in future years, we will continue with our long-term productivity initiatives with the objective of making Wyeth more efficient and more effective so that we may continue to thrive in this increasingly challenging industry environment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s critical accounting policies are detailed in the Company’s Financial Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. With the exception of the Company’s accounting for stock-based compensation in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, there were no changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies from the year ended December 31, 2005.

SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations as compensation expense (based on their fair values) over the vesting period of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of share-based awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates certain assumptions, such as the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield and expected life of the options. Determining these assumptions are subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates. Prior to adopting SFAS No. 123R, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), and related interpretations, in accounting for its stock incentive plans. Under APB No. 25, no stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in net income, other than for the Company’s restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock awards, as options granted under all other plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock at the date of the grant.

Net Revenue

Worldwide net revenue increased 9% for the 2006 third quarter and 8% for the 2006 first nine months compared with prior year levels. The increase in worldwide net revenue in the 2006 third quarter was due primarily to increases in the Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Healthcare segments. The increase in worldwide net revenue for the 2006 first nine months was due to increases in the Pharmaceuticals and Animal Health segments, offset, in part, by a decrease in the Consumer Healthcare segment. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange, worldwide net revenue increased 7% for the 2006 third quarter. The impact of foreign exchange on worldwide net revenue was not significant for the 2006 first nine months.

The following table sets forth worldwide net revenue results by reportable segment together with the percentage changes from the comparable periods in the prior year:

Pharmaceuticals

Worldwide Pharmaceuticals net revenue increased 10% for both the 2006 third quarter and the 2006 first nine months due primarily to higher sales ofPREVNAR, ENBREL (internationally),EFFEXOR,Nutrition products,PROTONIX, thePREMARIN family of products, rhBMP-2andTYGACIL, offset, in part, by lower sales ofZOTON,which is currently experiencing generic competition in the United Kingdom and other European countries and will experience generic competition in the near future in other countries as patent protection expires in those countries. The increase inPREVNAR net revenue reflected higher sales volume due primarily to the introduction ofPREVNAR into the National Immunization Program in the U.K. The increase inPROTONIX net revenue reflects the continued focus of thePROTONIX business towards the higher margin managed care segment. Additionally, alliance revenue increased 11% to $357.3 million for the 2006 third quarter and increased 21% to $968.8 million for the 2006 first nine months primarily as a result of higher sales ofENBRELin North America. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange, worldwide Pharmaceuticals net revenue increased 8% for the 2006 third quarter. The impact of foreign exchange on Pharmaceuticals worldwide net revenue was not significant for the 2006 first nine months.

Consumer Healthcare

Worldwide Consumer Healthcare net revenue increased 4% for the 2006 third quarter and decreased 2% for the 2006 first nine months. The increase in the 2006 third quarter was due primarily to an increase in sales ofADVIL,DIMETAPP andROBITUSSIN. The decrease in the 2006 first nine months was due primarily to the absence of 2006 sales ofSOLGAR products, which were divested in the 2005 third quarter, as well as lower sales ofROBITUSSIN andADVIL COLD & SINUS due to the impact of retailer actions and state and federal legislation related to pseudoephedrine (PSE)-containing products, offset, in part, by an increase in sales ofADVILandCENTRUM. These results included a provision of $31.5 million recorded in the 2006 first quarter for anticipated returns in connection with the PSE-containing products. During the 2006 second quarter this provision was reduced by $10.0 million based upon an analysis of actual returns in the quarter. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange, worldwide Consumer Healthcare net revenue increased 3% for the 2006 third quarter and decreased 3% for the 2006 first nine months.

Animal Health

Worldwide Animal Health net revenue increased 2% for the 2006 third quarter due primarily to higher sales of livestock products. Worldwide Animal Health net revenue increased 5% for the 2006 first nine months due primarily to higher sales of livestock and companion animal products, partially offset by lower sales of equine products. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange, worldwide Animal Health net revenue was flat for the 2006 third quarter. The impact of foreign exchange on Animal Health worldwide net revenue was not significant for the 2006 first nine months.

Sales Deductions

We deduct certain items from gross revenue, which primarily consist of provisions for product returns, cash discounts, chargebacks/rebates, customer allowances and consumer sales incentives. The provision for chargebacks/rebates relates primarily to U.S. sales of pharmaceutical products provided to wholesalers and managed care organizations under contractual agreements or to certain governmental agencies that administer benefit programs, such as Medicaid. While different programs and methods are utilized to determine the chargeback or rebate provided to the customer, we consider both to be a form of price reduction. Chargebacks/rebates are the only deductions from gross revenue that we consider significant and approximated $588.6 million for the 2006 third quarter and $1,646.7 million for the 2006 first nine months compared with $569.6 million for the 2005 third quarter and $1,785.3 million for the 2005 first nine months.

Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Except for chargebacks/rebates, provisions for each of the other components of sales deductions, including product returns, are individually less than 2% of gross sales. The provisions charged against gross sales for product returns were $22.8 million and $123.5 million for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months, respectively, compared with $39.8 million and $140.1 million for the 2005 third quarter and first nine months.

Operating Expenses

Stock-based compensation expense for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months has been recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2006. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations as compensation expense (based on their fair values) over the vesting period of the awards. The 2006 third quarter and first nine months included stock-based compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock and performance share awards. The 2005 third quarter and first nine months included stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock and performance share awards only. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, no expense was recorded for stock options. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, stock-based compensation expense was recorded as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2006	2005	2006	2005
Cost of goods sold	$8.9	$0.8	$24.3	$1.4
Selling, general and administrative expenses	55.3	28.6	187.0	59.0
Research and development expenses	25.2	7.4	85.9	16.5
Total stock-based compensation expense	$89.4	$36.8	$297.2	$76.9

See Note 6 to the consolidated condensed financial statements for further discussion related to stock-based compensation.

Cost of goods sold, as a percentage ofNet revenue, decreased to 27.0% for the 2006 third quarter compared with 28.9% for the 2005 third quarter due primarily to a decrease in charges associated with the Company’s productivity initiatives and to lower cost of goods sold related to cost savings resulting from the activities associated with the productivity initiatives. The 2006 first nine months decreased to 27.1% compared with 28.9% for the 2005 first nine months due primarily to lower inventory adjustments and lower cost of goods sold associated withENBREL validation batches and Grange Castle pre-operating costs (which occurred in 2005) offset, in part, by higher charges associated with the Company’s productivity initiatives. The increase in gross margin was also due to higher alliance revenue, and a more favorable product mix in both the Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Healthcare segments due to higher sales of higher marginPREVNAR,EFFEXOR and thePREMARIN family of products and the absence of 2006 first nine months sales of lower marginSOLGAR products, which were divested in the 2005 third quarter.

Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage ofNet revenue, decreased 1.0% for the 2006 third quarter and decreased 0.9% for the 2006 first nine months as compared with 2005. The decreases were due primarily to lower selling expenses in the Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Healthcare segments, which were partially offset by the impact of expensing stock options and pre- and post-launch marketing costs forTYGACILand LYBREL.

Research and development expenses increased 19% for the 2006 third quarter and increased 17% for the 2006 first nine months as compared with 2005. The increases were primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, including the impact of expensing stock options, and higher cost-sharing expenditures related to pharmaceutical collaborations.

Interest (Income) Expense and Other Income

Interest (income) expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2006	2005	2006	2005
Interest expense	$145.8	$104.0	$423.0	$285.5
Interest income	(134.5)	(70.1)	(371.8)	(186.9)

Total interest (income) expense, net	$(8.1)	$20.2	$(0.1)	$67.4

Interest income, net for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months was $8.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, as compared toInterest expense, net of $20.2 million and $67.4 million for the 2005 third quarter and first nine months, respectively. The change was due to higher interest income and higher capitalized interest, offset partially by higher interest expense. Weighted average debt outstanding during the 2006 third quarter and first nine months was $9,130.3 million and $9,154.2 million, respectively, compared with prior year levels of $7,903.7 million and $7,873.3 million, respectively. The impact of higher weighted average debt outstanding on interest expense was offset by increased interest income earned on higher cash balances in 2006 versus 2005. The higher capitalized interest resulted from increased spending for long-term capital projects in process.

Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Other income, net decreased by approximately $36.3 million and $142.8 million for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months, respectively, due primarily to lower net gains resulting from product divestitures. Pre-tax gains from the divestiture of certain Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Healthcare products were approximately $4.4 million and $38.7 million for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months, respectively, compared with prior year levels of $37.0 million and $180.0 million, respectively. The 2006 divestitures included product rights toMINOCIN in the United States. The 2005 divestitures included product rights toSYNVISC, EPOCLER(in Brazil) and the sale of theSOLGAR line of products. The sales, profits and net assets of these divested products, individually or in the aggregate, were not material to either business segment or our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Excluding these charges, Corporate expenses decreased approximately 22% and 21% for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months, respectively.

(3) Income before income taxes for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months included gains from product divestitures of approximately $4.4 and $37.3, respectively, in the Pharmaceuticals segment primarily from the divestiture of product rights toMINOCINin the U.S. Income before income taxes for the 2005 third quarter and first nine months included gains from product divestitures of $3.5 and $130.8, respectively, in the Pharmaceuticals segment primarily from the divestiture of product rights toSYNVISC. In addition, income before taxes for the 2005 third quarter and first nine months included gains from product divestitures of $33.5 and $49.2, respectively, in the Consumer Healthcare segment primarily from the divestiture ofEPOCLER in Brazil and theSOLGAR line of products.

Worldwide Pharmaceuticals income before income taxes for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months increased 12% and 14%, respectively, due primarily to higher net revenue, higher gross margins earned on worldwide sales of Pharmaceuticals products, and lower selling and general expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, offset by higher research and development expenses.

Worldwide Consumer Healthcare income before income taxes decreased 6% and 12% for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months, respectively. The 2006 third quarter decrease was due primarily to higher research and development expenses and lower other income, net, offset, in part, by higher net revenue and higher gross profit margins earned on worldwide sales of Consumer Healthcare products. The 2006 first nine months decrease was due primarily to lower net revenue, higher research and development expenses and lower other income, net, offset, in part, by lower selling and general expense, as a percentage of net revenue. The 2006 third quarter and first nine months were impacted by the absence of net revenue fromSOLGAR products, which were divested in the 2005 third quarter, as well as the impact of retailer actions and state and federal legislation in connection with pseudoephedrine (PSE)-containing products.

Worldwide Animal Health income before income taxes for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months increased approximately 9% and 4%, respectively. The 2006 third quarter and first nine months increases were due primarily to higher net revenue and decreased cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net revenue, offset, in part, by higher selling and general expenses, as a percentage of net revenue. Selling expenses were impacted by a $9.0 million provision (recorded in the 2006 second quarter) related to the voluntary recall of one serial ofRABVAC (rabies vaccine) in the U.S. This reserve represents re-vaccination fees to veterinarians.

Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Corporate expenses, net for the 2006 third quarter decreased to $160.5 million from $198.4 million for the 2005 third quarter as a result of lower productivity initiative charges and lower interest (income) expense, net, offset in part, by lower other income, net. Corporate expenses, net for the 2006 first nine months were $344.1 million compared with $336.1 million for the 2005 first nine months. Corporate expenses, net for the 2006 first nine months were impacted by a decrease in interest (income) expense, net, which was partially offset by lower other income, net.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates were 20.0% and 22.9% for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months, respectively, compared with 31.2% and 24.7%, respectively, for the prior year. Excluding certain items affecting comparability and assuming the expensing of stock options for the 2005 third quarter and first nine months (as discussed below under “Consolidated Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share Results”), the effective tax rate increased to 25.2% for the 2006 third quarter compared with 18.5% for the prior year and increased to 24.8% for the 2006 first nine months compared with 20.5% for the prior year. These increases reflect the impact of higher sales of certain Pharmaceuticals products (i.e.ENBREL andPREVNAR) that are manufactured in less favorable tax jurisdictions and increased expenditures on research and development in non-U.S. locations. The 2006 third quarter and first nine months rates do not assume the benefit of certain research and development tax credits since they have not yet been renewed for 2006. The 2005 rates were impacted by a 2005 third quarter $71.5 million tax refund related to prior year tax matters.

Consolidated Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share Results

Net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2006 third quarter were $1,156.9 million and $0.85, respectively, compared with net income and diluted earnings per share of $869.9 million and $0.64, respectively, in the 2005 third quarter, which represent increases of 33% and 33%, respectively. Net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2006 first nine months were $3,341.3 million and $2.45, respectively, compared with net income and diluted earnings per share of $2,924.6 million and $2.16, respectively, in the 2005 first nine months, which represent increases of 14% and 13%, respectively.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations

Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Our management uses various measures to manage and evaluate our performance and believes it is appropriate to specifically identify certain significant items included in net income and diluted earnings per share to assist investors with analyzing ongoing business performance and trends. In particular, our management believes that comparisons between 2006 and 2005 results of operations are impacted by the following items that are included in net income and diluted earnings per share:

· 2006 third quarter and first nine months net charges of $80.2 million ($54.9 million after-tax or $0.04 per share-diluted) and $154.8 million ($106.4 million after-tax or $0.08 per share-diluted), respectively, related to our productivity initiatives.

· 2006 third quarter favorable income tax adjustment of $70.4 million ($0.05 per share-diluted) related to a reduction of certain deferred tax asset valuation allowances, as discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated condensed financial statements.

· 2005 third quarter and first nine months net charges of $95.8 million ($63.4 million after-tax or $0.05 per share-diluted) related to our productivity initiatives.

· 2005 third quarter income tax charge of $170.0 million ($0.12 per share-diluted) recorded in connection with the Company’s decision to repatriate approximately $3.1 billion of foreign earnings in accordance with the Jobs Creation Act of 2004.

The productivity initiatives charges, which include costs associated with the Global Business Operations initiative, the costs of closing certain manufacturing facilities, certain reorganization expenses and the elimination of certain positions at the Company’s facilities have been identified as significant items by the Company’s management as these charges are not considered to be indicative of continuing operating results. The 2006 favorable income tax adjustment, which relates to the reduction of certain deferred tax asset valuation allowances, and the 2005 income tax charge, which relates to the repatriation of foreign earnings, have each been identified as significant items by the Company’s management due to their nature and magnitude.

In addition, effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R which requires the expensing of stock options. As a result, the 2006 third quarter and first nine months results included stock option expense, which reduced diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.03 and $0.10, respectively. The 2005 third quarter results, which have not been restated to include the impact of stock options, would have included a charge of $67.3 million ($50.2 million after-tax or $0.04 per share-diluted) had we expensed stock options. Similarly, the 2005 first nine months results would have included a charge of $218.6 million ($169.1 million after-tax or $0.13 per share-diluted). Our management believes that including this expense as part of the 2005 third quarter and first nine months provides a more meaningful comparison of our operations for these accounting periods.

Excluding the 2006 third quarter and first nine months productivity initiative charges and income tax adjustment and assuming the expensing of stock options for the 2005 third quarter and first nine months, the increases in net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months were due primarily to higher net revenue, lower costs of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, both as a percentage of net revenue, and lower interest (income) expense, net, offset, in part, by higher research and development spending as well as the impact of a higher effective tax rate compared with the 2005 third quarter and first nine months. The 2006 first nine months was also impacted by lower other income, net.

Gains from product divestitures constitute an integral part of our analysis of divisional performance and are important to understanding changes in our reported net income. Gains from product divestitures for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months were $4.4 million ($2.4 million after-tax) and $38.7 million ($26.0 million after-tax or $0.02 per share-diluted), respectively, compared with $37.0 million ($24.3 million after-tax or $0.02 per share-diluted) and $180.0 million ($117.1 million after-tax or $0.09 per share-diluted), respectively, for the 2005 third quarter and first nine months.

Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources

Cash flows provided by operating activities totaling $1,735.2 million during the 2006 first nine months were generated primarily by net earnings of $3,341.3 million, offset, in part, by payments of $2,642.6 million related to the diet drug litigation. In the 2006 second quarter, $400.0 million of these payments were paid from the Seventh Amendment security fund (see Note 7 to the consolidated condensed financial statements). The cash flow impact of the change in working capital, which used $768.3 million of cash as of September 30, 2006, excluding the effects of foreign exchange, was offset, in part, by non-cash depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation included in net earnings. The change in working capital primarily consisted of a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $274.9 million relating to timing of payments, an increase in accounts receivable of $288.1 million relating to increased sales, an increase in inventory of $82.5 million due to increased inventory levels to support higher sales and a decrease in accrued taxes of $90.3 million due to timing of payments. The change in working capital, which used $583.8 million of cash as of September 30, 2005 excluding the effects of foreign exchange, was more than offset by non-cash depreciation and amortization expense and tax on repatriation included in net earnings. The change in working capital primarily consisted of an increase in accounts receivable of $334.2 million relating to increased sales, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $239.5 million relating to timing of payments, an increase in accrued taxes of $237.1 million due to timing of payments, and an increase in other current assets of $229.0 million resulting from increased receivables for alliance revenue, interest income and income tax claims.

During the 2006 first nine months, we used $1,776.3 million of cash for purchases of marketable securities, $786.5 million of cash for investments in property, plant and equipment and $102.2 million of cash for the purchase of an additional equity interest in our joint venture in Japan with Takeda, pursuant to which we increased our ownership of the joint venture from 70% to 80% in April 2006. In addition, we received investment proceeds through the sales and maturities of marketable securities of $816.4 million and the sales of assets totaling $43.7 million.

Our financing activities in the 2006 first nine months included dividend payments of $1,009.0 million and purchases of common stock for treasury of $367.0 million.

Included inAccrued Expenses is the current portion of the reserves for diet drug litigation in the amount of $2,370.0 million. Based on progress to date with various aspects of the diet drug litigation, a substantial portion of this balance is likely to be paid during the remainder of 2006.

At September 30, 2006, we had outstanding $9,239.5 million in total debt, which consisted of notes payable and other debt. Maturities of our obligations as of September 30, 2006 are set forth below.

As more fully described in Note 7 to the consolidated condensed financial statements and in prior filings, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself and its products in these litigations and believes its legal positions are strong. However, in light of the circumstances discussed therein, it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of our legal proceedings and therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings could be material to our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The market risk disclosures appearing on page 64 of the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated by reference in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K have not materially changed from December 31, 2005. At September 30, 2006, the fair values of our financial instruments were as follows:

(In millions) Description	Notional/ Contract Amount	Carrying Value			Fair Value
		Assets (Liabilities)
Forward contracts(1)	$1,658.1	$	—		$	—
Interest rate swaps	5,300.0		(38.1	)		(38.1	)
Outstanding debt(2)	9,278.3		(9,239.5	)		(9,590.7	)

(1) If the U.S. dollar were to strengthen or weaken by 10%, in relation to all hedged foreign currencies, the net payable on the forward contracts would collectively decrease or increase by approximately $48.1.

(2) If the interest rates were to increase or decrease by one percentage point, the fair value of the outstanding debt would decrease or increase by approximately $725.5.

The estimated fair values approximate amounts at which these financial instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. Therefore, fair values are based on estimates using present value and other valuation techniques that are significantly affected by the assumptions used concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates that reflect varying degrees of risk. The fair value of forward contracts, and interest rate swaps reflects the present value of the contracts at September 30, 2006 and the fair value of outstanding debt instruments reflects a current yield valuation based on observed market prices as of September 30, 2006.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2006, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. During the 2006 third quarter, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
