Overview of Our Performance and Operating Environment
Our Business
We are a global, research-based company applying innovative science to improve world health. Our efforts in support of that purpose include the discovery, development, manufacture and marketing of safe and effective medicines; the exploration of ideas that advance the frontiers of science and medicine; and the support of programs dedicated to illness prevention, health and wellness, and increased access to quality healthcare. Our value proposition is to demonstrate that our medicines can effectively prevent and treat disease, including the associated symptoms and suffering, and can form the basis for an overall improvement in healthcare systems and their related costs. Our revenues are derived from the sale of our products, as well as through alliance agreements, under which we co-promote products discovered by other companies.
Our Pharmaceutical segment represented approximately 92% of our total revenues in 2007 and, therefore, developments relating to the pharmaceutical industry can have a significant impact on our operations.
Our 2007 Performance
We delivered a solid performance in 2007, reflecting the favorable impact of foreign exchange, the important contributions of many of our products launched since 2005 and our in-line products in the aggregate performing well in a tough operating environment, largely offset by revenue declines from the loss of U.S. exclusivity of Zoloft in August 2006 and Norvasc in March 2007, and other factors.
Specifically, in 2007:
|
|
• | Revenuesof $48.4 billion were flat compared to 2006, due primarily to the favorable impact of foreign exchange, an aggregate year-over-year increase in revenues from products launched since 2005 and the solid aggregate performance of the balance of our broad portfolio of patent-protected medicines, offset by the impact of loss of U.S. exclusivity on Zoloft in August 2006 and Norvasc in March 2007. Zoloft and Norvasc collectively experienced a decline in revenues of about $3.5 billion in 2007 compared to 2006. These declines were offset by an aggregate revenue increase in new products and the balance of our portfolio of patent-protected products and alliance revenues, such as: |

|
• | Decision to Exit Exubera: |
|
|
| Exubera was the first inhaled insulin therapy for the treatment of diabetes, and since May 2006, had been launched in Germany, Ireland, the U.K. and the U.S. In the third quarter of 2007, after an assessment of the financial performance of Exubera, as well as its lack of acceptance by patients, physicians and payers, we decided to exit the product. |
|
|
| Our Exubera-related exit plans included working with physicians over a three-month period to transition patients to other treatment options, evaluating redeployment options for colleagues, working with our partners and vendors with respect to transition and exit activities, working with regulators on concluding outstanding clinical trials, implementing an extended transition program for those patients unable to |
|
|
| transition to other medications within the three-month period, and exploring asset disposal or redeployment opportunities, as appropriate, among other activities. |
|
|
| As part of this exit plan, in 2007, we paid $135 million to one of our partners in satisfaction of all remaining obligations under existing agreements relating to Exubera and a next generation insulin (NGI) under development. In addition, in the event that a new partner is selected, we have agreed to transfer our remaining rights and all economic benefits for Exubera and NGI. This transfer of our interests would include the transfer of the Exubera New Drug Application and Investigational New Drug Applications and all non-U.S. regulatory filings and applications, continuation of ongoing Exubera clinical trials and certain supply chain transition activities. |
|
|
| Total pre-tax charges for 2007 were $2.8 billion, virtually all of which were recorded in the third quarter. The financial statement line items in which the various charges are recorded and related activity are as follows: |

|
| The asset write-offs (intangibles, inventory and fixed assets) represent non-cash charges. The other exit costs, primarily severance, contract and other termination costs, as well as other liabilities, are associated with marketing and research programs, and manufacturing operations related to Exubera. These exit costs resulted in cash expenditures in 2007 (such as the $135 million settlement referred to above) and will result in additional cash expenditures in 2008. We expect that substantially all of the cash spending will be completed within the next year. During the exit of this product, certain additional cash costs will be incurred and reported in future periods, such as maintenance-level operating costs. However, those future costs are not expected to be significant. We expect that substantially all exit activities will be completed within the next year. |
|
|
• | Income from continuing operations before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principleswas $8.2 billion compared to $11.0 billion in 2006. The decrease was primarily due to event-driven expenses, such as: |
|
|
|
| o | higher asset impairment charges. In 2007, we expensed $2.8 billion, pre-tax, related to our decision to exit Exubera, compared to $320 million, pre-tax, in 2006, related to the impairment of our Depo-Provera intangible asset; and |
|
|
|
| o | higher restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs associated with our expanded cost-reduction initiatives, |
|
|
|
| partially offset by: | |
|
| |
| o | lowerAcquisition-related in-process research and development charges(IPR&D). In 2007, we incurred IPR&D expenses of $283 million, pre-tax, primarily related to our acquisitions of BioRexis Pharmaceutical Corp. (BioRexis) and Embrex, Inc. (Embrex), compared with IPR&D of $835 million, pre-tax, in 2006, primarily related to our acquisitions of PowderMed Ltd. (PowderMed), and Rinat Neuroscience Corp. (Rinat); |
|
|
|
| o | higher interest income compared to 2006, due primarily to higher net financial assets during 2007 compared to 2006, reflecting proceeds of $16.6 billion from the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business, and higher interest rates; and |
|
|
|
| o | a lower effective income tax rate. In 2007, our effective tax rate on continuing operations of 11.0% was lower than the 15.3% rate in 2006, which largely reflects the tax impact of our decision to exit Exubera in 2007, the tax impact of higher cost-reduction expenditures in 2007 compared to 2006 and the volume and geographic mix of product sales in 2007 compared to 2006. |
|
|
|
• | Discontinued operations—net of taxwere losses of $69 million in 2007, compared with income of $8.3 billion in 2006. The results in 2006 relate primarily to our former Consumer Healthcare business, which was sold on December 20, 2006. The 2006 amount includes the gain on the sale of this business of |

|
| approximately $7.9 billion, after tax. (See further discussion in the “Our Strategic Initiatives—Strategy and Recent Transactions: Dispositions” and “Analysis of the Consolidated Statement of Income” sections of this Financial Review.) |
|
|
• | Acquisitions—We completed a number of strategic acquisitions that we believe will strengthen and broaden our existing pharmaceutical capabilities. In 2007, we acquired BioRexis, a privately held biopharmaceutical company with a number of diabetes candidates and a novel technology platform for developing new protein drug candidates, and Embrex, an animal health company that possesses a unique vaccine delivery system known as Inovoject that improves consistency and reliability by inoculating chicks while they are still inside the egg. (See further discussion in the “Our Strategic Initiatives—Strategy and Recent Transactions: Acquisitions, Licensing and Collaborations” section of this Financial Review.) |
|
|
• | Cost-reduction initiatives—We made significant progress with our cost-reduction initiatives, which are a broad-based, company-wide effort to improve performance and efficiency. We incurred related costs of approximately $3.9 billion in 2007, $2.1 billion in 2006 and $763 million in 2005. Building on what had already been accomplished, in January 2007, we announced additional plans to change the way we run our business to meet the challenges of a changing business environment and to take advantage of the diverse opportunities in the marketplace. We are generating cost reductions through site rationalizations in Research and Development (R&D) and manufacturing, streamlining organizational structures, sales force and staff function reductions, and increased outsourcing and procurement savings. (See further discussion in the “Cost-Reduction Initiatives” section of this Financial Review.) |
On January 23, 2008, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, which included a press release announcing our fourth-quarter and full-year 2007 financial results. In completing our final analysis, we determined that our accruals related to U.S. rebate liabilities were understated by $195 million, pre-tax, and $154 million, after-tax. While not material to understanding fourth quarter and full year 2007 financial results contained in our January 23, 2008, press release, the amounts disclosed above have been recorded in our actual results for the fourth quarter and full year 2007. We believe noting this change is beneficial to understanding our actual results for the fourth quarter and full year 2007 contained in this financial report. The impact of this change was as follows:

Our Operating Environment and Response to Key Opportunities and Challenges
We and our industry continue to face significant challenges in a profoundly changing business environment, and we are taking steps to fundamentally change the way we run our businesses to meet these challenges, as well as to take advantage of the diverse and attractive opportunities that we see in the marketplace. In response to these challenges and opportunities, we announced five priorities in January 2007:
|
|
• | Maximize our near and long-term revenues; |
|
|
• | Establish a lower and more flexible cost base; |
|
|
• | Create smaller, more focused and more accountable operating areas; |
|
|
• | Engage more productively with customers, patients, physicians and other collaborators; and |
|
|
• | Make Pfizer a great place to work. |
We believe that we have made progress on all of these goals. For details about our strategic initiatives, see the “Our Strategic Initiatives—Strategy and Recent Transactions” section of this Financial Review, and for details about our cost-reduction initiatives, see the “Cost-Reduction Initiatives” section of this Financial Review.
There are a number of industry-wide factors that may affect our business and they should be considered along with the information presented in the “Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results” section of this Financial Review. Such industry-wide factors include pricing and access, intellectual property rights, product competition, the regulatory environment, pipeline productivity and the changing business environment.
Pricing and Access
We believe that our medicines provide significant value for both healthcare providers and patients, not only from the improved treatment of diseases, but also from a reduction in other healthcare costs such as hospitalization or emergency room costs. Notwithstanding the benefits of our products, the pressures from governments and other payer groups are continuing and increasing. These pressure points can include price controls, price cuts (directly or by rebate actions) and regulatory changes that limit access to certain medicines.
|
|
• | Governments around the world continue to seek discounts on our products, either by leveraging their significant purchasing power or by mandating prices or implementing various forms of price controls. The growing power of managed care organizations in the U.S. has similarly increased the pressure on pharmaceutical prices and access. |
|
|
• | In the U.S., the enactment of the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Medicare Act), which went into effect in 2006, expanded access to medicines to patients-in-need through prescription drug benefits for Medicare beneficiaries. This program has been successfully implemented, with high levels of beneficiary satisfaction and lower-than-expected costs to the government due to the enhanced purchasing power of medical plans in the private sector to negotiate on behalf of Medicare beneficiaries. Despite this success, the exclusive role of medical plans in the private sector in negotiating prices for the Medicare drug benefit |
2007 Financial Report | 3
Financial Review
Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies
|
|
|
| remains controversial and legislative changes to allow the federal government to directly negotiate prices with pharmaceutical manufacturers have been proposed. While expanded access under the Medicare Act has resulted in increased sales of our products, the substantial purchasing power of medical plans that negotiate on behalf of Medicare beneficiaries has increased the pressure on prices. |
|
|
• | In response to cost concerns by payers, utilization of generics is increasing as a percentage of total pharmaceutical use, especially in the U.S. Payers are also selectively sponsoring campaigns designed to interchange generic products for molecularly dissimilar branded products within a therapeutic category. |
|
|
• | Consumers have become aware of global price differences that result from price controls imposed by certain governments and some have become more vocal about their desire that governments allow the sourcing of medicines across national borders. In the U.S., there have been several proposals advanced by federal legislators to allow easier importation of medicines, despite the increased risk of receiving inferior or counterfeit products. |
|
|
• | Pharmaceutical promotion is highly regulated in most markets around the world. In the U.S., there is growing interest at both the federal and state level in further restricting marketing communications and increasing the level of disclosure of marketing activities. |
|
|
• | A growing number of health systems in markets around the world are employing comparable effectiveness evaluations and using their findings to inform pricing and access decisions, especially for newly introduced pharmaceutical products. In the U.S., there is growing interest by government and private payers in adopting comparable effectiveness methodologies. While adoption may enhance the industry’s ability to demonstrate the relative value of its products, it is also possible that implemented comparative effectiveness conventions may be designed by payers to minimize product differences. |
|
|
Our response: | |
| |
• | We will continue to work within the current legal and pricing structures, as well as continue to review our pricing arrangements and contracting methods with payers, to maximize access to patients and minimize the impact on our revenues. |
|
|
• | We will continue to actively engage patients, physicians and payers in dialogues about the value of our products and how we can best work with them to prevent and treat disease, and improve outcomes. |
|
|
• | We will continue to encourage payers to work with us early in the development process to ensure that our approved products will deliver the value expected by those payers. |
|
|
• | We will continue to be a constructive force in helping to shape healthcare policy and regulation of our products. |
Intellectual Property Rights
Our business model is highly dependent on intellectual property rights, primarily in the form of government-granted patent rights, and on our ability to enforce and defend those rights around the world.
|
|
• | Intellectual property legal protections and remedies are a significant factor in our business. Many of our products are protected by a wide range of patents, such as composition-of-matter patents, compound patents, patents covering processes and procedures and/or patents issued for additional indications or uses. As such, many of our products have multiple patents that expire at varying dates, thereby strengthening our overall patent protection. However, once patent protection has expired or been lost prior to the expiration date as the result of a legal challenge, generic pharmaceutical manufacturers generally produce similar products and sell those products for a lower price. This price competition can substantially decrease our revenues for products that lose exclusivity, often in a very short period in the U.S. in the first year after patent expiration. Revenues in many international markets do not have the same sharp decline compared to the U.S. in the first year after loss of exclusivity, due to less restrictive policies on generic substitution, different competitive dynamics, and less intervention by government/payers in physician decision-making, among other factors. |
|
|
• | The loss of patent protection with respect to any of our major products can have a material adverse effect on future revenues and our results of operations. As mentioned above, our performance in 2007 was significantly impacted by the loss of U.S. exclusivity of Zoloft in August 2006 and Norvasc in March 2007. Further, we face a substantial adverse impact on our 2008 performance from the loss of U.S. exclusivity and cessation of marketing for Zyrtec/Zyrtec D in January 2008, and the expiration of our U.S. basic patent for Camptosar in February 2008. These four products represented 12% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007, and 20% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006. |
|
|
• | Patents covering our products are also subject to legal challenges. Increasingly, generic pharmaceutical manufacturers are launching products that are under legal challenge for patent infringement before the final resolution of the associated legal proceedings—called an “at-risk” launch. The success of any of these “at-risk” challenges could significantly impact our revenues and results of operations. Generic manufacturers are also advancing increasingly novel interpretations of patent law to establish grounds for legal challenges to branded patents. |
|
|
• | There is a continuing disparity in the recognition and enforcement of intellectual property rights among countries worldwide. Organizations such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), under the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), have been instrumental in educating governments about the long-term benefits of strong patent laws. However, activists have used both putative ethical arguments and technical loopholes to weaken the pharmaceutical industry’s position in developing markets. |
|
|
• | The integrity of our products is subject to an increasingly predatory atmosphere, seen in the growing problem of counterfeit drugs, which can harm patients through a lack of active ingredients, the inclusion of harmful components or improper accompanying packaging. Our ability to work with law enforcement to successfully counter these dangerous criminal activities will have an impact on our revenues and results of operations. |

Financial Review
Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies
|
|
|
Our response: | |
|
|
• | We will continue to aggressively defend our patent rights against increasingly aggressive infringement whenever appropriate. (See also Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 20. Legal Proceedings and Contingencies). |
|
|
• | We will continue to participate in the generics market for our products, whenever appropriate, once they lose exclusivity. |
|
|
• | We will continue to take actions to deliver more products of greater value more quickly. (See further discussion in the “Regulatory Environment and Pipeline Productivity” section of this Financial Review.) |
|
|
• | We will continue to support efforts that strengthen worldwide recognition of patent rights, while taking necessary steps to ensure appropriate patient access. |
|
|
• | We will continue to employ innovative approaches to prevent counterfeit pharmaceuticals from entering the supply chain and to achieve greater control over the distribution of our products. |
Product Competition
Some of our products face competition in the form of generic drugs or new branded products, which treat similar diseases or indications. For example, we lost U.S. exclusivity for Zithromax in November 2005, Zoloft in August 2006 and Norvasc in March 2007 and, as expected, significant revenue declines followed. In addition, the U.S. basic patent for Camptosar expired in February 2008. Lipitor began to face competition in the U.S. from generic pravastatin (Pravachol) in April 2006 and generic simvastatin (Zocor) in June 2006, in addition to other competitive pressures.
Our response:
|
|
• | We will continue to highlight the benefits of our products, in terms of cost, safety and efficacy, as appropriate, as we seek to serve significantly more patients around the world. (For detailed information about Lipitor and other significant products, see further discussion in the “Revenues—Pharmaceutical—Selected Product Descriptions” section of this Financial Review.) |
|
|
• | We are committed to driving innovation in product life cycle management by taking a broader look at our business model and examining it from all angles. We believe there are opportunities to better manage our products’ growth and development throughout their entire time on the market and bring innovation to our “go to market” promotional and commercial strategies. We plan to develop ways to further enhance the value of mature products, as well as those close to losing their exclusivity, and to create product-line extensions where feasible. In connection with the production of these products, we are pursuing new ways to accelerate our high-quality, low-cost manufacturing initiatives. |
Regulatory Environment and Pipeline Productivity
The discovery and development of safe, effective new products, as well as the development of additional uses for existing products, are necessary for the continued strength of our businesses.
|
|
• | We are confronted by increasing regulatory scrutiny of drug safety and efficacy even as we continue to gather safety and other data on our products, before and after the products have been launched. |
|
|
• | The opportunities for improving human health remain abundant as scientific innovation increases daily into new and more complex areas and as the extent of unmet medical needs remains high. |
|
|
• | Our product lines must be replenished over time in order to offset revenue losses when products lose their exclusivity, as well as to provide for growth. |
Our response:
|
|
|
• | As the world’s largest privately funded biomedical operation, and through our global scale, we will continue to develop and deliver innovative medicines that will benefit patients around the world. We will continue to make the investments necessary to serve patients’ needs and to generate long-term growth. For example: | |
|
| |
| o | We will refocus our investments on disease areas of major unmet medical needs and advance new technologies. We expect to become an industry leader in biotherapeutics and build best-in-class vaccine capabilities. |
|
|
|
| o | During 2007, we continued to introduce new products, including Selzentry in the U.S. and, in Europe, Celsentri (the trade name for Selzentry in Europe), and Ecalta (the trade name for Eraxis in Europe). |
|
|
|
| o | During 2007, we or our development partners submitted two new drug applications (NDAs) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Fablyn (lasofoxifene) and Spiriva Respimat. |
|
|
|
| o | Several key medicines received approval for new indications in 2007, including approvals in the U.S. for Lyrica for the treatment of fibromyalgia, Lipitor for secondary prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with established coronary heart disease and Fragmin for the prevention of blood clots in patients with cancer. In the E.U., medicines that received approval for new indications in 2007 were Celebrex, for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis, and Sutent, for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) as a first-line treatment and for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) as a second-line treatment. |
|
|
|
| o | We continue to conduct research on a scale that can help redefine medical practice. Our R&D pipeline includes 213 projects in development: 151 new molecular entities and 62 product-line extensions. They span multiple therapeutic areas, and we are leveraging our status as the industry’s partner of choice to expand our licensing operations. In addition, we have more than 320 projects in discovery research. During 2007, 34 new compounds were advanced from discovery research into preclinical development, 22 preclinical development candidates progressed into Phase 1 human testing and 16 Phase 1 clinical development candidates advanced into Phase 2 proof-of-concept trials and safety studies. |

|
|
• | We will continue to focus on reducing attrition as a key component of our R&D productivity improvement effort. For several years, we have been revising the quality hurdles for candidates entering development, as well as throughout the development process. As the quality of candidates has improved, the development attrition rate has begun to fall. Two new molecular entities and multiple new indication programs for in-line products advanced into Phase 3 development during 2007. We expect a significant number of new molecular entities and new indication programs to advance to Phase 3 by the end of 2009. With the progress we are seeing in our pipeline -- as well as our efforts in reducing our attrition rate – we are also continuing to target having a steady stream of new medicines from our internal R&D, four a year, starting in 2011. |

• | While a significant portion of R&D is done internally, we will continue to seek to expand our pipeline by entering into agreements with other companies to develop, license or acquire promising compounds, technologies or capabilities. Co-development, alliance and license agreements and acquisitions allow us to capitalize on these compounds to expand our pipeline of potential future products. | |
|
| |
| o | Due to our strength in marketing and our global reach, we are able to attract other organizations that may have promising compounds and that can benefit from our strength and skills. We have more than 400 alliances across the entire spectrum of the discovery, development and commercialization process. |
|
|
|
| o | In the second quarter of 2007, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMS) to further develop and commercialize apixaban, an oral anticoagulant compound discovered by BMS, and in a separate agreement, we are also collaborating with BMS on the research, development and commercialization of DGAT-1 inhibitors. (See further discussion in the “Our Strategic Initiatives—Strategy and Recent Transactions: Acquisitions, Licensing and Collaborations” section of this Financial Review.) |
|
|
|
| o | We are building a major presence in biologics by recognizing that our core strength with small molecules must be complemented by large molecules, as they involve some of the most promising R&D technology and cutting-edge science in medical research, as well as integrating our investments, R&D and existing internal capabilities with disciplined business development. In 2007, we acquired BioRexis, a privately held biopharmaceutical company with a number of diabetes candidates and a novel technology platform for developing new protein drug candidates. In 2006, we acquired Rinat, a biologics company with several new central-nervous-system product candidates. In 2005, the acquisition of Vicuron Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Vicuron) built on Pfizer’s extensive experience in anti-infectives and demonstrates our commitment to strengthen and broaden our pharmaceutical business through strategic product acquisitions. |
|
|
|
| o | The acquisition of PowderMed in 2006 is enabling us to explore vaccines across various therapeutic areas using the acquired vaccine technology and delivery device. (See further discussion in the “Our Strategic Initiatives—Strategy and Recent Transactions: Acquisitions, Licensing and Collaborations” section of this Financial Review.) |
o | Our goal is to launch two new externally-sourced products each year beginning in 2010. |

Changing Business Environment
With the business environment changing rapidly, as described above, we recognize that we must also fundamentally change the way we run our company to meet those challenges.
As a result, we will:
|
|
• | Continue to streamline our company to reduce bureaucracy and enable us to move quickly. |
|
|
• | Continue to restructure our cost base to drive efficiencies and enable greater agility and operating flexibility. |
|
|
• | Continue to simplify our R&D organization and improve productivity by consolidating each of the research teams focused on any given therapeutic area to one of four major sites. |
|
|
• | Revitalize our internal R&D approach by focusing our efforts to improve productivity and give discovery and development teams more flexibility and clearer goals, as well as committing considerable resources to promising therapeutic areas, including oncology, diabetes and neurological disorders, among others. Although we decided to exit Exubera, we remain committed to investing resources in the development of new and innovative medicines to manage diabetes. |
|
|
• | Focus our business development by thoroughly assessing every therapeutic area, looking at gaps we have identified and accelerating programs we already have. We are also developing opportunistic strategies concerning the best products, product candidates and technologies. |
|
|
• | Drive innovation in product life-cycle management by taking a broader look at our business model and examining it from all angles. We believe there are opportunities to better manage our products’ growth and development throughout their entire time on the market and bring innovation to our “go to market” promotional and commercial strategies. We plan to develop ways to further enhance the value of mature products, as well as those close to losing their exclusivity, and to create product-line extensions where feasible. In connection with the production of these products, we are pursuing new ways to accelerate our high-quality, low-cost manufacturing initiatives. |
|
|
• | Seek complementary opportunities in products and technologies that have the potential to leverage our capabilities and are aligned with our goals of improving health. |
|
|
• | Continue to address the wide array of patient populations through our innovative access and affordability programs. |
See further discussion in the “Our Cost-Reduction Initiatives” section of this Financial Review.
In addition to the above challenges and opportunities, we believe that there are other opportunities for revenue generation for our products, including:

|
|
|
• | Current demographics of developed countries indicate that people are living longer and, therefore, have a growing demand for high-quality healthcare, and the most effective medicines. |
|
|
• | Revising our sales model, where appropriate, to better engage physicians and customers. |
|
|
• | The large number of patients within our various therapeutic categories that are untreated. For example, of the tens of millions of Americans who need medical therapy for high cholesterol, we estimate only about one-fourth are actually receiving treatment. |
|
|
• | Refocusing the debate on health policy to address the cost of disease that remains untreated and the benefits of investing in prevention and wellness to not only improve health, but save money. |
|
|
• | Developing medicines that meet medical need and that patients will take; that physicians will prescribe; that customers will pay for; and that add the most value for Pfizer. |
|
|
• | Stepping up our focus and investments in emerging markets by developing strategies in areas, especially Eastern Europe and Asia, where changing demographics and economics will drive growing demand for high-quality healthcare and offer the best potential for our products. |

• | Worldwide emphasis on the need to find solutions to difficult problems in healthcare systems. |
|
|
Our Cost-Reduction Initiatives | |
| |
During 2007, 2006 and 2005, we made significant progress with our cost-reduction initiatives, which were designed to increase efficiency and streamline decision-making across the company. These initiatives were launched in early 2005 and broadened in October 2006. | |
| |
On January 22, 2007, we announced additional plans to change the way we run our business to meet the challenges of a changing business environment and take advantage of the diverse opportunities in the marketplace. We are generating net cost reductions through site rationalization in R&D and manufacturing, streamlining organizational structures, sales force and staff function reductions, and increased outsourcing and procurement savings. Our cost-reduction initiatives will result in the elimination of about 10,000 positions, or about 10% of our total worldwide workforce by the end of 2008. These and other actions will allow us to reduce costs in support services and facilities, and to redeploy a portion of the hundreds of millions of dollars saved into the discovery and development work of our scientists. These and other initiatives are discussed below. | |
| |
Net of various cost increases and investments during 2007, we achieved, on a constant currency basis (the actual foreign exchange rates in effect in 2006), a reduction of about $560 million in theSelling, informational and administrative expenses (SI&A) pre-tax component of Adjusted income compared to 2006. By the end of 2008, we expect to achieve a net reduction of the pre-tax total expense component of Adjusted income of at least $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion, compared to 2006 on a constant currency basis (the actual foreign exchange rates in effect in 2006). (For an understanding of Adjusted income, see the “Adjusted Income” section of this Financial Review.) |
|
|
Projects in various stages of implementation include: | |
|
|
Pfizer Global Research and Development (PGRD)— | |
|
|
• | Creating a More Agile and Productive Organization—To increase efficiency and effectiveness in bringing new therapies to patients-in-need, in January 2007, PGRD announced a number of actions to transform the research division. Many of the actions have been completed. We have exited two discovery therapeutic areas (Gastrointestinal & Hepatology and Dermatology), though we continue to develop compounds in those areas that are already in the pipeline. We have consolidated each research therapeutic area into a single site. In addition, of six sites that were identified for closure, two (Mumbai, India and Plymouth Township, Michigan) have been closed. Operations have been scaled back significantly in the other four sites (Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo, Michigan; Nagoya, Japan; and Amboise, France). The timing of final closure of the remaining sites is subject to business needs and, in the case of Nagoya and Amboise, to consultation with works councils and local labor law. As of December 31, 2007, all portfolio project transfers were completed with minimal progress development interruption and are now in their new sites. This reorganization has resulted in smaller, more agile research units designed to drive the growth of our bigger pipeline, while maintaining costs, and generating more products. |
|
|
• | Standardization of Practices—Standardization of practices across PGRD is driving costs down and increasing efficiencies in our research facilities, resulting in significant savings. Centers of emphasis have been built to take advantage of special skill sets, reduce waste and enhance asset utilization. We substantially reduced the number of pilot plants that manufacture the active ingredients for our clinical supplies, making more efficient use of the capacity retained. Clinical supply depots across the globe are being realigned with future needs. For example, across Europe and Canada 26 out of 37 depots have been identified for rationalization, with 24 closures completed through December 31, 2007. |
|
|
• | Enhanced Clinical Trial Design—To reduce the frequency and cost of clinical trial failures, a common problem across the industry, a key objective for PGRD has been to improve our clinical trial design process. For this reason, PGRD has standardized and broadly applied advanced improvements in quantitative techniques. For example, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling and computer-based clinical trial simulation, along with use of leading-edge statistical techniques, including adaptive learning and confirming approaches, are being used and we have begun to transform the way clinical trials are designed. Benefits achieved to date from this initiative include improvements in positive predictive capacity, efficiency, risk management and knowledge management. Once fully implemented, this Enhanced Clinical Trial Design initiative is expected to yield significant savings and enhance research productivity. |
|
|
| Two new molecular entities and multiple new indication programs for in-line products advanced into Phase 3 development during 2007. We expect a significant number of new molecular entities and new indication programs to advance to Phase 3 by the end of 2009. We intend to increase resources dedicated to biotherapeutics, with the objectives of launching one product per year within 10 years, strengthening our antibody platform and building our vaccine business. In addition, we will enhance our |

|
|
| capability to identify the right targets and pathways by harnessing new biologic techniques to allow identification and the pursuit of the most relevant pathways. We expect to fund a number of these new investments with savings from reduced spending on support staff and facilities costs. |
|
|
Pfizer Global Manufacturing (PGM)— | |
| |
• | Plant Network Optimization—To ensure that our manufacturing facilities are aligned with current and future product needs, we are continuing to optimize Pfizer’s network of plants. We have focused on innovation and delivering value through a simplified supply network. Since 2005, 30 sites have been identified for rationalization. In addition, there have been extensive consolidations and realignments of operations resulting in streamlined operations and staff reductions. |
|
|
| We have reduced our network of plants from 93 four years ago to 57 today, which also reflects the acquisition of seven plants and the sites sold in 2006 as part of our Consumer Healthcare business. By the end of 2009, we plan to reduce our network of manufacturing plants around the world to 45. The cumulative impact will be a more focused, streamlined and competitive manufacturing operation, with less than 50% of our plants and a reduction of 35% of our manufacturing employees compared to 2003. Further, we currently outsource the manufacture of approximately 17% of our products on a cost basis and plan to increase this substantially by 2010 and beyond. |
|
|
Worldwide Pharmaceutical Operations (WPO)— | |
| |
• | Field Force Realignment—To improve our effectiveness in and responsiveness to the business environment, we have realigned our European marketing teams and implemented productivity initiatives for our field force in Japan. We completed the U.S. reorganization in December 2006, which included a 20% reduction in our U.S. field force. The restructured U.S. field force was operational starting in April 2007 and productivity per sales representative has returned to the levels before the reorganization, retaining our competitiveness and share of voice. Globally, we have reduced our field force by approximately 11%. Additional savings are being generated from de-layering, eliminating duplicative work and strategically realigning various functions. |
|
|
| We are in the process of transforming our field force operations in Europe to being more customer-centric by reorganizing and shifting resources. As of December 31, 2007, we had reduced our field force in Europe by approximately 17% and expect total reductions of 20% by the end of 2008, subject to consultation with works councils and local labor law, while allowing us to maintain a competitive voice for our medicines and a strong organization going forward. |
|
|
Information Technology— | |
| |
• | Reductions in Application Software—To achieve cost savings, we have pursued significant reductions in application software and data centers, as well as rationalization of service providers, while enhancing our ability to invest in innovative technology opportunities to further propel our growth. By consolidating 11 third-party providers and reducing labor costs, we expect to generate considerable annual savings and improve service quality. |
|
|
Finance— | |
| |
• | Further Capitalizing on Shared Service Centers—To achieve cost savings, we have reduced operating costs and improved service levels by standardizing, regionalizing and/or outsourcing a wide array of transactional accounting activities. |
|
|
Global Sourcing— | |
| |
• | Leveraging Purchasing Power—To achieve cost savings on purchased goods and services, we have focused on rationalizing suppliers, leveraging our substantial purchases of goods and services and improving demand management to optimize levels of outside services needed and strategic sourcing from lower-cost sources. For example, savings from demand management are being derived in part from reductions in travel, entertainment, consulting and other external service expenses. Facilities savings are being found in site rationalization, energy conservation and renegotiated service contracts. |

|
|
Dispositions | |
|
|
We evaluate our businesses and product lines periodically for strategic fit within our operations. Since January 1, 2005, we have sold the following businesses: | |
| |
• | In the fourth quarter of 2006, we sold our Consumer Healthcare business for $16.6 billion, and recorded a gain of approximately $10.2 billion ($7.9 billion, net of tax) inGains on sales of discontinued operations—net of taxin the consolidated statement of income for 2006. In 2007, we recorded a loss of approximately $70 million, after-tax, primarily related to the resolution of contingencies, such as purchase price adjustments and product warranty obligations, as well as pension settlements. This business was composed of: |
|
|
|
| o | substantially all of our former Consumer Healthcare segment; |
|
|
|
| o | other associated amounts, such as purchase-accounting impacts, acquisition-related costs and restructuring and implementation costs related to our cost-reduction initiatives that were previously reported in the Corporate/Other segment; and |
|
|
|
| o | certain manufacturing facility assets and liabilities, which were previously part of our Pharmaceutical or Corporate/ Other segment but were included in the sale of the Consumer Healthcare business. The net impact to the Pharmaceutical segment was not significant. |
|
|
|
|
| The results of this business are included inIncome from discontinued operations—net of taxfor all periods presented. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3. Discontinued Operations. |
|
|
|
|
| We continued during 2007, and will continue for a period of time, to generate cash flows and to report income statement activity in continuing operations that are associated with our former Consumer Healthcare business. The activities that give rise to these impacts are transitional in nature and generally result from agreements that ensure and facilitate the orderly transfer of business operations to the new owner. Included in continuing operations for 2007 were the following amounts associated with these transition service agreements that will no longer occur after the full transfer of activities to the new owner:Revenuesof $219 million;Cost of salesof $194 million;Selling, informational and administrative expensesof $15 million; andOther (income)/deductions—netof $16 million in income. |
|
|
|
• |
| In the third quarter of 2005, we sold the last of three European generic pharmaceutical businesses, which we had included in our Pharmaceutical segment, for 4.7 million euro (approximately $5.6 million). This business became a part of Pfizer in April 2003 in connection with our acquisition of Pharmacia. We recorded a loss of $3 million ($2 million, net of tax) inGains on sales of discontinued operations—net of taxin the consolidated statement of income for 2005. |
|
|
|
• |
| In the first quarter of 2005, we sold the second of three European generic pharmaceutical businesses, which we had included in our Pharmaceutical segment, for 70 million euro (approximately $93 million). This business became a part of Pfizer in April 2003 in connection with our acquisition of Pharmacia. We recorded a gain of $57 million ($36 million, net of tax) inGains on sales of discontinued operations—net of taxin the consolidated statement of income for 2005. In addition, we recorded an impairment charge of $9 million ($6 million, net of tax) related to the third European generic business inIncome from discontinued operations—net of taxin the consolidated statement of income for 2005. |
|
| |
Our Expectations for 2008 | ||
| ||
While our revenues and income will continue to be tempered in the near term due to patent expirations and other factors, we will continue to make the investments necessary to sustain long-term growth. We remain confident that Pfizer has the organizational strength and resilience, as well as the financial depth and flexibility, to succeed in the long term. However, no assurance can be given that the industry-wide factors described above under “Our Operating Environment and Response to Key Opportunities and Challenges” or other significant factors will not have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. | ||
|
| |
Our 2008 guidance reflects the projected impact of the loss of exclusivity in the U.S. of Norvasc (March 2007) and Zyrtec/Zyrtec D (January 2008), and the expiration of the U.S. basic patent for Camptosar (February 2008). | ||
|
| |
At current exchange rates, we forecast 2008 revenues of $47.0 billion to $49.0 billion, reported diluted earnings per common share (EPS) of $1.78 to $1.93, Adjusted diluted EPS of $2.35 to $2.45, and cash flow from operations of $17 billion to $18 billion. |

In addition, on a constant currency basis, we expect to achieve a net reduction of the pre-tax total expense component of Adjusted income of at least $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion, compared to 2006. (For an understanding of Adjusted income, see the “Adjusted Income” section of this Financial Review.)
As referenced in this section: (i) “current exchange rates” is defined as rates approximating foreign currency spot rates in January 2008 and (ii) “constant currency basis” is defined as the actual foreign currency exchange rates in effect during 2006.

Our 2008 forecasted financial performance guidance is subject to a number of factors and uncertainties—as described in the “Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results” section of this Financial Review.
Accounting Policies
We consider the following accounting policies important in understanding our operating results and financial condition. For additional accounting policies, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Estimates and Assumptions
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we use certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. For example, estimates are used when accounting for deductions from revenues (such as rebates, discounts, incentives and product returns), depreciation, amortization, employee benefits, contingencies and asset and liability valuations. Our estimates are often based on complex judgments, probabilities and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may later prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, or unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause us to change those estimates or assumptions. It is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. We are also subject to other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimated amounts, such as changes in the healthcare environment, competition, foreign exchange, litigation, legislation and regulations. These and other risks and uncertainties are discussed throughout this Financial Review, particularly in the section “Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results.”
Contingencies
We and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in various patent, product liability, consumer, commercial, securities, environmental and tax litigations and claims; government investigations; and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Except for income tax contingencies, we record accruals for contingencies to the extent that we conclude their occurrence is probable and the related damages are estimable, and we record anticipated recoveries under existing insurance contracts when assured of recovery. For tax matters, beginning in 2007 upon the adoption of a new accounting standard, we record accruals for income tax contingencies to the extent that we conclude that a tax position is not sustainable under a ‘more likely than not’ standard and we record our estimate of the potential tax benefits in one tax jurisdiction that could result from the payment of income taxes in another tax jurisdiction when we conclude that the potential recovery is more likely than not. (See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1D. Significant Accounting Policies: New Accounting StandardsandNote 8E. Taxes on Income: Tax Contingencies.) We consider many factors in making these assessments. Because litigation and other contingencies are inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur, these assessments can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1B. Significant Accounting Policies: Estimates and Assumptions).
Acquisitions
Our consolidated financial statements and results of operations reflect an acquired business after the completion of the acquisition and are not restated. We account for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Amounts allocated to acquired IPR&D are expensed at the date of acquisition. When we acquire net assets that do not constitute a business under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP), no goodwill is recognized.
The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact our results of operations.
There are several methods that can be used to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For intangible assets, including IPR&D, we typically use the “income method.” This method starts with our forecast of all of the expected future net cash flows. These cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the income method or other methods include: the amount and timing of projected future cash flows; the amount and timing of projected costs to develop the IPR&D into commercially viable products; the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; and the assessment of the asset’s life cycle and the competitive trends impacting the asset, including consideration

|
of any technical, legal, regulatory, or economic barriers to entry, as well as expected changes in standards of practice for indications addressed by the asset.
Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment, as different types of intangible assets will have different useful lives and certain assets may even be considered to have indefinite useful lives. For example, the useful life of the right associated with a pharmaceutical product’s exclusive patent will be finite and will result in amortization expense being recorded in our results of operations over a determinable period. However, the useful life associated with a brand that has no patent protection but that retains, and is expected to retain, a distinct market identity could be considered to be indefinite and the asset would not be amortized.
Revenues
Revenue Recognition—We record revenues from product sales when the goods are shipped and title passes to the customer. At the time of sale, we also record estimates for a variety of sales deductions, such as rebates, discounts and incentives, and product returns. When we cannot reasonably estimate the amount of future product returns, we record revenue when the risk of product return has been substantially eliminated.
Deductions from Revenues—Our gross product sales are subject to a variety of deductions, primarily representing rebates and discounts to government agencies, wholesalers and managed care organizations with respect to our pharmaceutical products. These deductions represent estimates of the related obligations and, as such, judgment is required when estimating the impact of these sales deductions on gross sales for a reporting period.
Specifically:
|
|
• | In the U.S., we record provisions for pharmaceutical Medicaid, Medicare and contract rebates based upon our actual experience ratio of rebates paid and actual prescriptions written during prior quarters. We apply the experience ratio to the respective period’s sales to determine the rebate accrual and related expense. This experience ratio is evaluated regularly to ensure that the historical trends are as current as practicable. As appropriate, we will adjust the ratio to better match our current experience or our expected future experience. In assessing this ratio, we consider current contract terms, such as changes in formulary status and discount rates. If our ratio is not indicative of future experience, our results could be materially affected. |
|
|
• | Outside the U.S., the majority of our pharmaceutical rebates are contractual or legislatively mandated, and our estimates are based on actual invoiced sales within each period; both of these elements help to reduce the risk of variations in the estimation process. Some European countries base their rebates on the government’s unbudgeted pharmaceutical spending and we use an estimated allocation factor against our actual invoiced sales to project the expected level of reimbursement. We obtain third-party information that helps us monitor the adequacy of these accruals. If our estimates are not indicative of actual unbudgeted spending, our results could be materially affected. |
|
|
• | Provisions for pharmaceutical chargebacks (primarily reimbursements to wholesalers for honoring contracted prices to third parties) closely approximate actual as we settle these deductions generally within two to three weeks of incurring the liability. |
|
|
• | We record sales incentives as a reduction of revenues at the time the related revenues are recorded or when the incentive is offered, whichever is later. We estimate the cost of our sales incentives based on our historical experience with similar incentives programs. |
|
|
Historically, our adjustments to actual have not been material; on a quarterly basis, they generally have been less than 1.0% of Pharmaceutical net sales and can result in a net increase to income or a net decrease to income. The sensitivity of our estimates can vary by program, type of customer and geographic location. However, estimates associated with U.S. Medicaid and contract rebates are most at-risk for material adjustment because of the extensive time delay between the recording of the accrual and its ultimate settlement, an interval that can range up to one year. Because of this time lag, in any given quarter, our adjustments to actual can incorporate revisions of several prior quarters. | |
|
|
Alliances—We have agreements to co-promote pharmaceutical products discovered by other companies. Alliance revenues are earned when our co-promotion partners ship the related product and title passes to their customer. These revenues are primarily based upon a percentage of our co-promotion partners’ net sales. Expenses for selling and marketing these products are included inSelling, informational and administrative expenses. | |
|
|
Long-Lived Assets | |
|
|
We review all of our long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, for impairment indicators at least annually and we perform detailed impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived assets annually and for all other long-lived assets whenever impairment indicators are present. Examples of those events or circumstances that may be indicative of impairment include: | |
|
|
• | A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset. For example, a successful challenge of our patent rights likely would result in generic competition earlier than expected. |
|
|
• | A significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used. For example, restrictions imposed by the FDA or other regulatory authorities could affect our ability to manufacture or sell a product. |
|
|
• | A projection or forecast that demonstrates losses associated with an asset. This could include, for example, a change in a government reimbursement program that results in an inability to sustain projected product revenues and profitability. This also could include the introduction of a competitor’s product that results in a significant loss of market share or the lack of acceptance of a product by patients, physicians and payers. |
|
|
Our impairment review process is as follows: | |
| |
• | For finite-lived intangible assets, such as developed technology rights, whenever impairment indicators are present, we perform |
12 | 2007 Financial Report
Financial Review
Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies
|
|
|
| an in-depth review for impairment. We calculate the undiscounted value of the projected cash flows associated with the asset and compare this estimated amount to the carrying amount of the asset. If the carrying amount is found to be greater, we record an impairment loss for the excess of book value over the asset’s fair value. Fair value is generally calculated by applying an appropriate discount rate to the undiscounted cash flow projections to arrive at net present value. In addition, in all cases of an impairment review, we reevaluate the remaining useful life of the asset and modify it, as appropriate. |
|
|
• | For indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as brands, each year and whenever impairment indicators are present, we calculate the fair value of the asset and record an impairment loss for the excess of book value over fair value, if any. Fair value is generally measured as the net present value of projected cash flows. In addition, in all cases of an impairment review, we reevaluate the remaining useful life of the asset and determine whether continuing to characterize the asset as indefinite-lived is appropriate. |
|
|
• | ForGoodwill, which includes amounts related to our Pharmaceutical and Animal Health segments, each year and whenever impairment indicators are present, we calculate the fair value of each business segment and calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by subtracting the fair value of all the identifiable net assets other than goodwill and record an impairment loss for the excess of book value of goodwill over the implied fair value, if any. |
|
|
• | For other long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, we apply procedures similar to those for finite-lived intangible assets to determine if an asset is impaired. Long-term investments and loans are subject to periodic impairment reviews whenever impairment indicators are present. For these assets, fair value is typically determined by observable market quotes or the expected present value of future cash flows. When necessary, we record charges for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets. |
|
|
• | For non-current deferred tax assets, we provide a valuation allowance when we believe that the assets are not probable of recovery based on an assessment of estimated future taxable income that incorporates ongoing, prudent, feasible tax-planning strategies. |
The value of intangible assets is determined primarily using the “income method,” which starts with a forecast of all the expected future net cash flows (see the “Our Strategic Initiatives—Strategy and Recent Transactions: Acquisitions, Licensing and Collaborations,” section of this Financial Review). Accordingly, the potential for impairment for these intangible assets may exist if actual revenues are significantly less than those initially forecasted or actual expenses are significantly more than those initially forecasted. Further, an asset’s expected useful life can increase estimation risk and, thus, impairment risk, as longer-lived intangibles necessarily require longer-term forecasts—it should be noted that for some assets these time spans can range up to 20 years or longer. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the intangible asset impairment
estimation process include: the amount and timing of projected future cash flows; the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; and the assessment of the asset’s life cycle and the competitive trends impacting the asset, including consideration of any technical, legal, regulatory or economic barriers to entry, as well as expected changes in standards of practice for indications addressed by the asset.
The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by first estimating the fair value of the associated business segment. To estimate the fair value of each business segment, we generally use the “market approach,” where we compare the segment to similar businesses or “guideline” companies whose securities are actively traded in public markets or which have recently been sold in a private transaction. We may also use the “income approach,” where we use a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several periods, plus a terminal value at the end of that time horizon, are discounted to their present value using an appropriate rate of return. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the goodwill impairment estimation process using the “market approach” include: the selection of appropriate guideline companies; the determination of market value multiples for the guideline companies and the subsequent selection of an appropriate market value multiple for the business segment based on a comparison of the business segment to the guideline companies; and the determination of applicable premiums and discounts based on any differences in ownership percentages, ownership rights, business ownership forms, or marketability between the segment and the guideline companies; and/or knowledge of the terms and conditions of comparable transactions. When considering the “income approach,” we include the required rate of return used in the discounted cash flow method, which reflects capital market conditions and the specific risks associated with the business segment. Other estimates inherent in the “income approach” include long-term growth rates and cash flow forecasts for the business segment.
A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions (see “Estimates and Assumptions,” above). The judgments made in determining an estimate of fair value can materially impact our results of operations.
Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Plans
We provide defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans for the majority of our employees worldwide. In the U.S., we have both qualified and supplemental (non-qualified) defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans, as well as other postretirement benefit plans, consisting primarily of healthcare and life insurance for retirees. (See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Plans.)
The accounting for benefit plans is highly dependent on actuarial estimates, assumptions and calculations, which result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties (see “Estimates and Assumptions,” above). The assumptions and actuarial estimates required to estimate the employee benefit obligations for the defined benefit and postretirement plans,
2007 Financial Report | 13
Financial Review

|
include discount rate; expected salary increases; certain employee-related factors, such as turnover, retirement age and mortality (life expectancy); expected return on assets; and healthcare cost trend rates. Our assumptions reflect our historical experiences and our best judgment regarding future expectations that have been deemed reasonable by management. The judgments made in determining the costs of our benefit plans can materially impact our results of operations.
The following table shows the expected versus actual rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate used to determine the benefit obligations for the U.S. qualified pension plans:

Our assumption for the expected long-term rate of return-on-assets in our U.S. pension plans, which impacts net periodic benefit cost, was reduced from 9.0% for 2007 to 8.5% for 2008 to reflect that our strategic asset target allocation was modified in late 2007 to reduce the volatility of our plan funded status and the probability of future contribution requirements. Our target allocations have been revised to increase the debt securities allocation by 10% and to reduce the global equity securities allocation by a corresponding amount. The assumption for the expected return-on-assets for our U.S. and international plans reflects our actual historical return experience and our long-term assessment of forward-looking return expectations by asset classes, which is used to develop a weighted-average expected return based on the implementation of our targeted asset allocation in our respective plans. The expected return for our U.S. plans and the majority of our international plans is applied to the fair market value of plan assets at each year end. For our international plans that use a market-related value of plan assets to calculate net periodic benefit cost, shifting to the fair market value of plan assets would serve to decrease our 2008 international pension plans’ pre-tax expense by approximately $27 million. Holding all other assumptions constant, the effect of a 0.5 percentage-point decline in the return-on-assets assumption is an increase in our 2008 U.S. qualified pension plan pre-tax expense of approximately $38 million.
The discount rate used in calculating our U.S. pension benefit obligations as of December 31, 2007, is 6.5%, which represents a 0.6 percentage-point increase from our December 31, 2006 rate of 5.9%. The discount rate for our U.S. defined benefit and postretirement plans is based on a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of high quality corporate bonds rated AA or better for which the timing and amount of cash flows approximate the estimated payouts of the plans. For our international plans, the discount rates are set by benchmarking against investment grade corporate bonds rated AA or better. Holding all other assumptions constant, the effect of a 0.6 percentage-point increase in the discount rate assumption is a decrease in our 2008 U.S. qualified pension plans’ pre-tax expense of approximately $77 million and a decrease in the U.S. qualified pension plans’ projected benefit obligations as of December 31, 2007, of approximately $696 million.

Revenues
Total revenues were $48.4 billion in 2007, flat compared to 2006, primarily due to:
|
|
• | an aggregate increase in revenues from Pharmaceutical products launched in the U.S. since 2005 of $2.0 billion and from many in-line products in 2007; |
|
|
• | the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to many foreign currencies, especially the euro, U.K. pound and Canadian dollar, which increased revenues by $1.5 billion, or 3.0%, in 2007; and |
|
|
• | increased revenues in our Animal Health segment and other businesses of $706 million in 2007, |
14 | 2007 Financial Report
|
Financial Review |
Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies |
|
offset by:
|
|
• | a decrease in revenues for Norvasc of $1.9 billion in 2007, primarily due to the loss of U.S. exclusivity in March 2007; |
|
|
• | a decrease in revenues for Zoloft, primarily due to the loss of U.S. exclusivity in August 2006, of $1.6 billion in 2007; |
|
|
• | a decrease in revenues for Lipitor in the U.S. of $654 million in 2007, primarily due to competitive pressures from generics among other factors; and |
|
|
• | the one-time reversal of a sales deduction accrual in 2006 related to a favorable development in a pricing dispute in the U.S. of about $170 million. |
|
|
In 2007, Lipitor, Norvasc (which lost U.S. exclusivity in March 2007) and Celebrex each delivered at least $2 billion in revenues, while Lyrica, Viagra, Detrol/Detrol LA, Xalatan/Xalacom and Zyrtec/Zyrtec D (which lost U.S. exclusivity in January 2008) each surpassed $1 billion. | |
| |
Total revenues were $48.4 billion in 2006, an increase of 2% compared to 2005, primarily due to: | |
|
|
• | the solid aggregate performance in our broad portfolio of patent-protected medicines; and |
|
|
• | the revenues from products launched over the previous three years, |
|
|
mostly offset by: | |
|
|
• | the loss of U.S. exclusivity on Zithromax in November 2005 and Zoloft in August 2006, which resulted in a collective decline in revenues of about $2.5 billion for these two products; and |
|
|
• | a decrease in revenues in 2006 by $279 million, or 0.6%, compared to 2005, due primarily to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to many foreign currencies, especially the Japanese yen and the euro, partially offset by the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar, the total of which accounted for about 96% of the foreign exchange impact in 2006. |
|
|
In 2006, Lipitor, Norvasc, Zoloft and Celebrex each delivered at least $2 billion in revenues, while Lyrica, Viagra, Detrol/Detrol LA, Xalatan/Xalacom and Zyrtec each surpassed $1 billion. | |
|
|
Revenues exceeded $500 million in each of 12 countries outside the U.S. in 2007 and in each of 10 countries outside the U.S. in 2006. The U.S. was the only country to contribute more than 10% of total revenues in each year. | |
| |
Our policy relating to the supply of pharmaceutical inventory at domestic wholesalers, and in major international markets, is to maintain stocking levels under one month on average and to keep monthly levels consistent from year to year based on patterns of utilization. We have historically been able to closely monitor these customer stocking levels by purchasing information from our customers directly, or by obtaining other third-party information. We believe our data sources to be directionally reliable, but cannot verify their accuracy. Further, as we do not control this third-party data, we cannot be assured of continuing access. Unusual buying patterns and utilization are promptly investigated. |

Performance-based contracts are with managed care customers, including health maintenance organizations and pharmacy benefit managers, who receive rebates based on the achievement of contracted performance terms for products. Rebates are product-specific and, therefore, for any given year are impacted by the mix of products sold. Chargebacks (primarily reimbursements to wholesalers for honoring contracted prices to third parties) reduced revenues by $1.6 billion in 2007, $1.4 billion in 2006 and $1.3 billion in 2005. Chargebacks were impacted by the launch of certain generic products in 2007, 2006 and 2005 by our Greenstone subsidiary. | ||
| ||
Our accruals for Medicaid rebates, Medicare rebates, performance-based contract rebates and chargebacks totaled $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2007. | ||

Pharmaceutical Revenues | |
| |
Our pharmaceutical business is the largest in the world. Revenues from this segment contributed approximately 92% of our total revenues in 2007 and 93% of our total revenues in both 2006 and 2005. As of November 2007, seven of our pharmaceutical products were number one in their respective therapeutic categories based on revenues. | |
| |
We recorded product sales of more than $1 billion for each of eight products in 2007, each of nine products in 2006 and each of eight products in 2005. These products represented 58% of our Pharmaceutical revenues in 2007 and 64% of our Pharmaceutical revenues in both 2006 and 2005. | |
| |
Worldwide Pharmaceutical revenues in 2007 decreased 1% compared to 2006, primarily due to: | |
| |
• | a decrease in revenues for Norvasc of $1.9 billion in 2007, primarily due to the loss of U.S. exclusivity in March 2007; |
|
|
• | a decrease in revenues for Zoloft of $1.6 billion in 2007, primarily due to the loss of U.S. exclusivity in August 2006; |
|
|
• | a decrease in revenues for Lipitor in the U.S. of $654 million in 2007, primarily resulting from competitive pressures from generics, among other factors; |
|
|
• | a decrease in revenues for Zithromax of $187 million in 2007, primarily due to the loss of U.S. exclusivity in November 2005; and |
|
|
• | the one-time reversal of a sales deduction accrual in 2006 related to a favorable development in a pricing dispute in the U.S. of about $170 million, |
|
|
partially offset by: | |
| |
• | an aggregate increase in revenues from products launched in the U.S. since 2005 of $2.0 billion and from many in-line products in 2007; and |
|
|
• | the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to many foreign currencies, especially the euro, U.K. pound and Canadian dollar, which increased Pharmaceutical revenues by approximately $1.3 billion, or 3%, in 2007. |
|
|
Geographically: | |
|
|
• | in the U.S., Pharmaceutical revenues in 2007 decreased 12% compared to 2006, primarily due to the effect of the loss of exclusivity on Zoloft and Norvasc, and lower sales of Lipitor, partially offset by the aggregate increase in revenues from products launched since 2005 and from many in-line products; and |
|
|
• | in our international markets, Pharmaceutical revenues in 2007 increased 11% compared to 2006, primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign exchange on international revenues of approximately $1.3 billion (6.4%) in 2007, revenues from products launched since 2005, as well as growth of certain in-line products. |
|
|
During 2007, international Pharmaceutical revenues grew to represent 51.5% of total Pharmaceutical revenues, compared to 45.6% in 2006. This increase has been fueled by higher volumes and the favorable impact of foreign exchange, despite pricing pressures in international markets. | |
| |
Effective January 1, 2008, July 13, 2007, January 1, 2007, and January 1, 2006, we increased the published prices for certain U.S. pharmaceutical products. These price increases had no material effect on wholesaler inventory levels in comparison to the prior year. |

Pharmaceutical—Selected Product Descriptions | ||
|
| |
• | Lipitor, for the treatment of elevated LDL-cholesterol levels in the blood, is the most widely used treatment for lowering cholesterol and the best-selling pharmaceutical product of any kind in the world, with $12.7 billion in worldwide revenues in 2007, a decrease of 2% compared to 2006 despite the favorable impact of foreign exchange, which increased revenues by $360 million, or 3%. In the U.S., revenues of $7.2 billion in 2007 declined 8% compared to 2006. Internationally, Lipitor revenues in 2007 increased 9% compared to 2006, with 7% due to the favorable impact of foreign exchange. | |
|
| |
| The decline in Lipitor revenues in 2007 compared to 2006 is driven by a combination of factors, including the following: | |
|
| |
| • | the impact of an intensely competitive statin market, with competition from multi-source generic simvastatin and branded products; |
|
| |
| • | increased payer pressure in the U.S.; and |
|
| |
| • | a favorable development in a pricing dispute in the U.S. recorded in 2006, |
|
| |
| partially offset by: | |
| ||
| • | the favorable impact of foreign exchange; and |
|
| |
| • | a positive U.S. pricing impact, net of rebates, notwithstanding a more flexible contracting strategy. |
|
| |
| On May 30, 2007, we announced the return of Lipitor to Express Scripts Inc.’s preferred list of drugs as of June 1, 2007, following our rebate agreement. | |
| ||
| On March 5, 2007, Lipitor was approved by the FDA for five new indications in patients with clinically evident heart disease, thereby expanding the U.S. label from primary prevention in moderate-risk patients to include secondary prevention in high-risk patients. Lipitor is now the only cholesterol-lowering medicine approved for the reduction in risk of hospitalization due to heart failure. These new indications have been incorporated into promotional materials, including a new direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising campaign, and support the incremental benefit and overall safety of using higher doses of Lipitor. | |
| ||
See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 20. Legal Proceedings and Contingenciesfor a discussion of recent developments with respect to certain patent litigation relating to Lipitor. | ||
• | Norvasc, for treating hypertension, lost exclusivity in the U.S. in March 2007, six months earlier than expected, due to an appellate court decision that was counter to three previous trial court rulings in Pfizer’s favor. Norvasc has also experienced patent expirations in many E.U. countries, but maintains exclusivity in certain other major markets, including Japan (where the Norvasc patent will expire in March 2008), and Canada (where the Norvasc patent will expire in August 2010). Norvasc worldwide revenues in 2007 decreased 38% compared to 2006. | |
|
| |
| See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 20. Legal Proceedings and Contingenciesfor a discussion of recent developments with respect to certain patent litigation relating to Norvasc. |
|
|
• | Caduet, a single pill therapy combining Norvasc and Lipitor, recorded worldwide revenues of $568 million, an increase of 54% for 2007, compared to 2006. This was largely driven by a more focused message platform and a highly targeted consumer campaign in the U.S. Caduet was launched in the U.S. in May 2004 and continues to grow at significantly higher rates than the overall U.S. cardiovascular market. However, with the introduction of generic amlodipine besylate, in addition to increased competition, growth has begun to slow. During 2007, Caduet was launched in France, Australia and Taiwan. |
|
|

|
|
• | Chantix/Champix, the first new prescription treatment to aid smoking cessation in nearly a decade, became available to patients in the U.S. in August 2006 and in select E.U. markets in December 2006. Chantix/Champix continues to demonstrate strong uptake, with more than 5 million patients globally having been prescribed Chantix since its launch. In the U.S., an unbranded advertising campaign introduced in early 2007 is working to effectively develop the market, and branded advertising was introduced in the third quarter of 2007. We continue to focus on increasing adherence and have introduced appropriate tools to physicians. In addition, we are conducting several pilot programs to reach patients in their first month of therapy through pharmacy programs, as well as through ourGetQuitbehavior modification program. Champix has secured final approval from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) for use in the state-funded National Health Service in the U.K., following a positive appraisal decision in May 2007. Our strategy for this innovative medicine is to build a sustainable, medically supported market over time and to seek to secure reimbursement—initiatives that we believe will drive future growth. Chantix/Champix recorded worldwide revenues of $883 million in 2007. |
|
|
| In January 2008, we added a warning to Chantix’s label in the U.S. that patients who are attempting to quit smoking by taking Chantix should be observed by a physician for neuropsychiatric symptoms like changes in behavior, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior. A causal relationship between Chantix and these reported symptoms has not been established. In some reports, however, an association could not be excluded. |

• | Exubera, see the “Our 2007 Performance: Decision to Exit Exubera” section of this Financial Review. |
|
|
• | Zoloft, which lost exclusivity in the U.S. in August 2006 and earlier in many European markets, experienced a 75% worldwide revenue decline in 2007, compared to 2006. It is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in adults and children, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and social anxiety disorder (SAD). Zoloft is approved for acute and long-term use in all of these indications, with the exception of PMDD. Zoloft was launched |

|
| in Japan in July 2006 for the indications of depression/depressed state and panic disorder. |
|
|
| On May 2, 2007, the FDA proposed that the existing blackbox warning on the labels of all antidepressants, including Zoloft, which describes an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in some children and adolescents, be expanded to include young adults to age 24, particularly during the first two months of treatment. The proposed label change also states that studies have not shown this increased risk in adults older than 24, that adults age 65 and older who are treated with antidepressants have a decreased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior, and that depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves the most important causes of suicide. We have implemented this label change in accordance with the FDA’s proposal. |
|
|
• | Geodon/Zeldox, a psychotropic agent, is a dopamine and serotonin receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia and acute manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar disorder. It is available in both an oral capsule and rapid-acting intramuscular formulation. In the U.S., Geodon had a new prescription share of 6.7% for 2007. In 2007, Geodon worldwide revenues grew 13%, compared to 2006. Geodon growth was driven by recognition of its efficacy by prescribers as clinical experience increased, and by a favorable metabolic profile. |
|
|
• | Lyrica grew to a 10.9% new prescription share of the total U.S. anti-epileptic market in 2007, fueled by strong efficacy, as well as high physician and patient satisfaction. In June 2007, Lyrica was approved in the U.S. for the management of fibromyalgia, one of the most common chronic, widespread pain conditions. This approval represents a breakthrough for the more than six million Americans who suffer from this debilitating condition who previously had no FDA-approved treatment. |
|
|
• | Celebrex was approved in Japan in January 2007, for the treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. In February 2007, Celebrex was approved in Europe for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis. From April 2007 through July 2007, we ran an innovative Celebrex direct-to-consumer (DTC) television advertising campaign in the U.S. about treatment options for arthritis. The 21/2-minute television advertisement opened by addressing cardiovascular (CV) safety first and clarifying misperceptions among arthritis sufferers about the risks and benefits of Celebrex and other prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This DTC ad campaign helped to generate patient interest and initiate a productive dialogue between physicians and patients. We resumed this television advertising campaign in November 2007. |

|
| appropriate first-line therapy for patients with serious complicated skin and skin structure infections or nosocomial pneumonia known or suspected to be caused by gram-positive pathogens, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MSRA) infection, with the flexibility of an intravenous and oral regimen. Zyvox works with a unique mechanism of action, which minimizes the potential for cross-resistance with other antibiotic classes and thus has the potential to effectively treat MRSA infection despite growing resistance to other important antibiotics. Worldwide sales of Zyvox grew 21% to $944 million in 2007. |

|
• | Zithromax/Zmax, for the treatment of bacterial infections, experienced a 31% decline in worldwide revenues in 2007 compared to 2006, reflecting the expiration of Zithromax’s composition-of-matter patent in the U.S. in November 2005 and the end of Pfizer’s active sales promotion in July 2005. |

|
• | Selzentry/Celsentri (maraviroc) is the first in a new class of oral HIV medicines in more than a decade known as CCR5 antagonists. CCR5 antagonists work by blocking the CCR5 co-receptor, the virus’ predominant entry route into T-cells. Selzentry/Celsentri stops the R5 virus on the outside surface of the cells before it enters, rather than fighting the virus inside, as do all other classes of oral HIV medicines. Selzentry/Celsentri was approved in the U.S. in August 2007 and in Europe in September 2007, and is indicated for combination anti-retroviral treatment of treatment-experienced adults infected with only CCR5-tropic HIV-1 detectable, who have evidence of viral replication and have HIV-1 strains resistant to multiple anti-retroviral agents. A diagnostic test confirms whether a patient is infected with CCR5-tropic HIV-1, which is also known as “R5-virus.” |

• | Viagra remains the leading treatment for erectile dysfunction and one of the world’s most recognized pharmaceutical brands. Viagra revenues grew 6% worldwide, with U.S. revenues flat and international revenues increasing 13% in 2007, compared to 2006. The growth in Viagra international revenues was driven by foreign exchange, as well as a combination of other factors, including our focus on strengthening its value proposition to key customers and growth in the erectile dysfunction market. In July 2007, we launched a television ad campaign in the U.S. for Viagra aimed at educating and motivating men with erectile dysfunction to seek treatment. |

• | Detrol/Detrol LA, a muscarinic receptor antagonist, is the most prescribed medicine worldwide for overactive bladder, a condition that affects up to 100 million people around the world. Detrol/Detrol LA is an extended-release formulation taken once daily. Worldwide Detrol/Detrol LA revenues grew 8% to $1.2 billion in 2007, compared to 2006. Detrol/Detrol LA continues to lead the overactive bladder market and perform well in an increasingly competitive marketplace. In the U.S., Detrol/Detrol LA’s new prescription share declined 3.4% to a 39.5% share for 2007. |

• | Camptosar is indicated as first-line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer in combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin. It is also indicated for patients in whom metastatic colorectal cancer has recurred or progressed despite following initial fluorouracil-based therapy. Camptosar is for intravenous use only. Worldwide revenues in 2007 increased 7% to $969 million, compared to 2006. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), an alliance of 21 of the world’s leading cancer centers, has issued guidelines recommending Camptosar as an option across all lines of treatment for advanced colorectal cancer. The U.S. basic patent for Camptosar expired in February 2008. | |

• | Sutent is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor that combines anti- angiogenic and anti-tumor activity to inhibit the blood supply to tumors and has direct anti-tumor effects. Sutent was approved by the FDA and launched in the U.S. in January 2006 for advanced renal cell carcinoma, including metastatic renal cell carcinoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) after disease progression on, or intolerance to, imatinib mesylate. In the first quarter of 2007, the U.S. label was revised to include new first-line advanced renal cell carcinoma data. In January 2007, Sutent received full marketing authorization and extension of the indication to first-line treatment of advanced and/or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), as well as approval as a second-line treatment for GIST, in the E.U. We believe that future growth of Sutent will be fueled by emerging new data in a range of potential new indications. Sutent recorded $581 million in worldwide revenues in 2007. | |

| |
• | Xalatan/Xalacom, a prostaglandin analogue used to lower the intraocular pressure associated with glaucoma and ocular hypertension, is one of the world’s leading branded glaucoma medicines. Clinical data showing its advantages in treating intraocular pressure compared with beta blockers should support the continued growth of this important medicine. Xalacom, the only fixed combination prostaglandin (Xalatan) and beta blocker, is available primarily in European markets. Xalatan/Xalacom worldwide revenues grew 10% in 2007, compared to 2006. | |

• | Genotropin, for the treatment of short stature in children with growth hormone deficiency, Prader-Willi Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, Small for Gestational Age Syndrome and in adults with growth hormone deficiency, is the world’s leading human growth hormone. Genotropin revenues grew 6% worldwide, driven by its broad platform of innovative injection delivery devices. | |
|
| |
• | Zyrtec/Zyrtec D, allergy medicines, experienced a 2% decline in worldwide revenues compared to 2006. We lost U.S. exclusivity for Zyrtec/Zyrtec D in January 2008. Since we sold our rights to market Zyrtec/Zyrtec D over-the-counter in connection with the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business, we ceased selling this product in late January 2008. | |

We received an “approvable” letter from the FDA for fesoterodine for the treatment of overactive bladder in January 2007. Regulatory review of fesoterodine is progressing in the U.S. and fesoterodine was approved in the E.U. in April 2007. We are working with Schwarz Pharma, the licensor, to scale up manufacturing and identify manufacturing site alternatives. Launch is planned for mid-2008 in Europe and, subject to FDA approval, early 2009 in the U.S.
In December 2007, we received a third “approvable” letter from the FDA for dalbavancin. We and the third-party manufacturer are working with the FDA to respond to the requirements set forth in that letter.
We received “not-approvable” letters from the FDA for Fablyn (lasofoxifene) for the prevention of post-menopausal osteoporosis in September 2005 and for the treatment of vaginal atrophy in January 2006. We submitted a new NDA for the treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women in December 2007, including the three-year interim data from the Postmenopausal Evaluation And Risk-reduction with Lasofoxifene (PEARL) study in support of the new NDA.
In September 2005, we received a “not-approvable” letter for Dynastat (parecoxib), an injectable prodrug for valdecoxib for the treatment of acute pain. We have had discussions with the FDA regarding this letter, and we are considering plans to address the FDA’s concerns.

Our Animal Health business is one of the largest in the world.
The increase in Animal Health revenues in 2007, compared to 2006, was primarily attributable to:
|
|
• | for livestock products, the continued good performance of our premium anti-infectives for cattle and swine, and intramammaries in 2007, as well as revenues from Embrex, which we acquired in the first quarter of 2007; |
|
|
• | for companion animal products, the good performances of Revolution (a parasiticide for dogs and cats); Rimadyl (for treatment of pain and inflammation associated with canine osteoarthritis and soft-tissue orthopedic surgery); and new product launches, such as Convenia (first-in-class single-dose treatment antibiotic therapy for dogs and cats), Slentrol (weight management for dogs) and Cerenia (treatment and prevention of vomiting in dogs); and |
|
|
• | the favorable impact of foreign exchange, which increased revenues by 5%. |
|
|
The increase in Animal Health revenues in 2006, compared to 2005, was primarily attributable to: | |
|
|
• | for livestock products, the continued good performance of Draxxin (for treatment of respiratory disease in cattle and swine) in Europe and in the U.S.; and |
|
|
• | for companion animal products, the continued good performance of Revolution; |
|
|
partially offset by: | |
|
|
• | a decline in U.S. Rimadyl revenues due to intense branded competition, as well as increased generic competition in the European companion animal market. |
|
|
Costs and Expenses | |
|
|
Cost of Sales | |
|
|
Cost of sales in 2007, compared to 2006, increased as a result of: | |
|
|
• | asset impairment charges, write-offs and other exit costs associated with Exubera of $2.6 billion (See the “Our 2007 Performance: Decision to Exit Exubera” section of this Financial Review); |
|
|
• | the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange on expenses; |
|
|
• | the impact of higher implementation costs associated with our cost-reduction initiatives of $700 million in 2007, compared to $392 million in 2006; and |
|
|
• | costs of $194 million for 2007, related to business transition activities associated with the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business, completed in December 2006, |
|
|
partially offset by: | |
|
|
• | savings related to our cost-reduction initiatives. |
|
|
Cost of sales in 2006, compared to 2005, increased as a result of: | |
|
|
• | the impact of higher implementation costs associated with our cost-reduction initiatives of $392 million in 2006, compared to $124 million in 2005; |
|
|
• | the timing of implementation of inventory-management initiatives; |
|
|
• | the unfavorable impact on expenses of foreign exchange; and |
|
|
• | charges related to certain inventory and manufacturing equipment write-downs, |
|
|
partially offset by: | |
|
|
• | changes in sales mix; |
|
|
• | savings related to our cost-reduction initiatives; and |
|
|
• | $73 million in write-offs of inventory and exit costs in 2005 related to suspension of sales and marketing of Bextra. |
|
|
Selling, Informational and Administrative (SI&A) Expenses | |
| |
|
|
• | savings related to our cost-reduction initiatives, |
|
|
offset by: | |
|
|
• | the unfavorable impact on expenses of foreign exchange; |
|
|
• | the impact of higher implementation costs associated with our cost-reduction initiatives of $334 million in 2007, compared to $243 million in 2006; and |
|
|
• | charges associated with Exubera of $85 million (See the “Our 2007 Performance: Decision to Exit Exubera” section of this Financial Review). |
22 | 2007 Financial Report
|
|
|
SI&A expenses increased 2% in 2006, compared to 2005, which reflects: | |
|
|
• | higher promotional investments in new product launches and in-line product promotional programs; |
|
|
• | expenses related to share-based payments; and |
|
|
• | the impact of higher implementation costs associated with our cost-reduction initiatives of $243 million in 2006, compared to $151 million in 2005, |
|
|
partially offset by: | |
|
|
• | the favorable impact on expenses of foreign exchange; and |
|
|
• | savings related to our cost-reduction initiatives. |
|
|
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses | |
|
|
R&D expenses increased 6% in 2007, compared to 2006, which reflects: | |
|
|
• | the impact of higher implementation costs associated with our cost-reduction initiatives of $416 million in 2007, compared to $176 million in 2006; |
|
|
• | an initial payment to BMS of $250 million and additional payments to BMS related to product development efforts, in connection with our collaboration to develop and commercialize apixaban, recorded in 2007; |
|
|
• | the unfavorable impact on expenses of foreign exchange; |
|
|
• | a one-time R&D milestone due to us from sanofi-aventis (approximately $118 million) recorded in 2006; and |
|
|
• | exit costs, such as contract termination costs, associated with Exubera of $100 million (See the “Our 2007 Performance: Decision to Exit Exubera” section of this Financial Review), |
|
|
partially offset by: | |
|
|
• | savings related to our cost-reduction initiatives. |
|
|
R&D expenses increased 5% in 2006, compared to 2005, which reflects: | |
|
|
• | the impact of higher implementation costs associated with our cost-reduction initiatives of $176 million in 2006, compared to $50 million in 2005; |
|
|
• | expenses related to share-based payments; |
|
|
• | timing considerations associated with the advancement of development programs for pipeline products; and |
|
|
• | higher payments for intellectual property rights, discussed below, among other factors, |
|
|
partially offset by: | |
|
|
• | a one-time R&D milestone due to us from sanofi-aventis (approximately $118 million); and |
|
|
• | savings related to our cost-reduction initiatives. |
R&D expenses also include payments for intellectual property rights of $603 million in 2007, $292 million in 2006 and $156 million in 2005. (For further discussion, see the “Our Strategic Initiatives—Strategy and Recent Transactions: Acquisitions, Licensing and Collaborations” section of this Financial Review.)
Acquisition-Related In-Process Research and Development Charges
The estimated value of acquisition-related IPR&D is expensed at the acquisition date. In 2007, we expensed $283 million of IPR&D, primarily related to our acquisitions of BioRexis and Embrex. In 2006, we expensed $835 million of IPR&D, primarily related to our acquisitions of Rinat and PowderMed. In 2005, we expensed $1.7 billion of IPR&D, primarily related to our acquisitions of Vicuron and Idun.
Cost-Reduction Initiatives
In connection with our cost-reduction initiatives, which were launched in early 2005 and broadened in October 2006, our management has performed a comprehensive review of our processes, organizations, systems and decision-making procedures in a company-wide effort to improve performance and efficiency. On January 22, 2007, we announced additional plans to change the way we run our businesses to meet the challenges of a changing business environment and to take advantage of the diverse opportunities in the marketplace. We are generating net cost reductions through site rationalization in R&D and manufacturing, streamlined organizational structures, sales force and staff function reductions, and increased outsourcing and procurement savings. Compared to 2006, we expect to achieve a net reduction of the pre-tax total expense component of Adjusted income of at least $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion by the end of 2008 on a constant currency basis (the actual foreign exchange rates in effect in 2006). (For an understanding of Adjusted income, see the “Adjusted Income” section of this Financial Review.)
The actions associated with the expanded cost-reduction initiatives include restructuring charges, such as asset impairments, exit costs and severance costs (including any related impacts to our benefit plans, including settlements and curtailments) and associated implementation costs, such as accelerated depreciation charges, primarily associated with plant network optimization efforts, and expenses associated with system and process standardization and the expansion of shared services worldwide. (See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Cost-Reduction Initiatives.) The strengthening of the euro and other currencies relative to the dollar, while favorable onRevenues, has had an adverse impact on our total expenses (Cost of sales, Selling, administrative and informational expenses,andResearch and development expenses), including the reported impact of these cost-reduction efforts.

From the beginning of the cost-reduction initiatives in 2005 through December 31, 2007,Employee termination costsrepresent the expected reduction of the workforce by 20,800 employees, mainly in research, manufacturing and sales. As of December 31, 2007, approximately 13,000 of these employees have been formally terminated.Employee termination costsare recorded when the actions are probable and estimable and include accrued severance benefits, pension and postretirement benefits.Asset impairmentsprimarily include charges to write down property, plant and equipment.Otherprimarily includes costs to exit certain activities.
Acquisition-Related Costs
We recorded inRestructuring charges and acquisition-related costs$11 million in 2007, $27 million in 2006 and $918 million in 2005, for acquisition-related costs. Amounts in 2005 were primarily related to our acquisition of Pharmacia on April 16, 2003 and
included integration costs of $543 million and restructuring charges of $375 million. As of December 31, 2007, virtually all restructuring charges incurred have been utilized.
Integration costs represent external, incremental costs directly related to an acquisition, including expenditures for consulting and systems integration. Restructuring charges can include severance, costs of vacating duplicative facilities, contract termination and other exit costs.
Other (Income)/Deductions—Net
In 2007, we recorded higher net interest income compared to 2006, due primarily to higher net financial assets during 2007 compared to 2006, reflecting proceeds of $16.6 billion from the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business in late December 2006, and higher interest rates. Also in 2007, we recorded a gain of $211 million related to the sale of a building in Korea. In 2006, we recorded a charge of $320 million related to the impairment of our Depo-Provera intangible asset. In 2005, we recorded charges of $1.2 billion primarily related to the impairment of our Bextra intangible asset. See also Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 7. Other (Income)/Deductions—Net.
Provision for Taxes on Income
Our overall effective tax rate for continuing operations was 11.0% in 2007, 15.3% in 2006 and 29.4% in 2005. The lower tax rate in 2007 is primarily due to the impact of charges associated with our decision to exit Exubera (see the “Our 2007 Performance: Decision to Exit Exubera” section of this Financial Review), higher charges related to our cost-reduction initiatives in 2007, lower non-deductible charges for acquisition-related IPR&D, and the volume and geographic mix of product sales and restructuring charges in 2007 compared to 2006, partially offset by certain one-time tax benefits in 2006, all discussed below.
The lower tax rate in 2006 compared to 2005 is primarily due to certain one-time tax benefits associated with favorable tax legislation and the resolution of certain tax positions, and a decrease in the 2005 estimated U.S. tax provision related to the repatriation of foreign earnings, all as discussed below, and the impact of the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business.
In the third quarter of 2006, we recorded a decrease to the 2005 estimated U.S. tax provision related to the repatriation of foreign earnings, due primarily to the receipt of information that raised our assessment of the likelihood of prevailing on the technical merits of a certain position, and we recognized a tax benefit of $124 million.
In the first quarter of 2006, we were notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Appeals Division that a resolution had been reached on the matter that we were in the process of appealing related to the tax deductibility of an acquisition-related breakup fee paid by the Warner-Lambert Company in 2000. As a result, in the first quarter of 2006, we recorded a tax benefit of approximately $441 million related to the resolution of this issue.
On January 23, 2006, the IRS issued final regulations on Statutory Mergers and Consolidations, which impacted certain prior-period transactions. In the first quarter of 2006, we recorded a tax benefit of $217 million, reflecting the total impact of these regulations.

In 2005, we recorded an income tax charge of $1.7 billion, included inProvision for taxes on income,in connection with our decision to repatriate approximately $37 billion of foreign earnings in accordance with the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Jobs Act). The Jobs Act created a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85% dividend-received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations in 2005. In addition, during 2005, we recorded a tax benefit of $586 million, primarily related to the resolution of certain tax positions.
For further discussion about our dispositions, see the “Our Strategic Initiatives—Strategy and Recent Transactions: Dispositions” section of this Financial Review. The following amounts, primarily related to our former Consumer Healthcare business, have been segregated from continuing operations and included inDiscontinued operations—net of taxin the consolidated statements of income:

Adjusted Income
General Description of Adjusted Income Measure
Adjusted income is an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this performance measure. We report Adjusted income in order to portray the results of our major operations—the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of prescription medicines for humans and animals—prior to considering certain income statement elements. We have defined Adjusted income as Net income before the impact of purchase accounting for acquisitions, acquisition-related costs, discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles and certain significant items. The Adjusted income measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP Net income.
The Adjusted income measure is an important internal measurement for Pfizer. We measure the performance of the overall Company on this basis. The following are examples of how the Adjusted income measure is utilized.
|
|
• | Senior management receives a monthly analysis of our operating results that is prepared on an Adjusted income basis; |
|
|
• | Our annual budgets are prepared on an Adjusted income basis; and |
|
|
• | Annual and long-term compensation, including annual cash bonuses, merit-based salary adjustments and share-based payments for various levels of management, is based on financial measures that include Adjusted income. The Adjusted income measure currently represents a significant portion of target objectives that are utilized to determine the annual compensation for various levels of management, although the actual weighting of the objective may vary by level of management and job responsibility and may be considered in the determination of certain long-term compensation plans. The portion of senior management’s bonus, merit-based salary increase and share-based awards based on the Adjusted income measure ranges from 10% to 30%. |
Despite the importance of this measure to management in goal setting and performance measurement, we stress that Adjusted income is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure that has no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, has limits in its usefulness to investors. Because of its non-standardized definition, Adjusted income (unlike U.S. GAAP Net income) may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Adjusted income is presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance.
We also recognize that, as an internal measure of performance, the Adjusted income measure has limitations and we do not restrict our performance-management process solely to this metric. A limitation of the Adjusted income measure is that it provides a view of our operations without including all events during a period, such as the effects of an acquisition or amortization of purchased intangibles and does not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies in the pharmaceutical industry. We also use other specifically tailored tools designed to ensure the highest levels of our performance. For example, our R&D organization has productivity targets, upon which its effectiveness is measured. In addition, Performance Share Awards grants made in 2006, 2007 and future years will be paid based on a non-discretionary formula that measures our performance using relative total shareholder return.
Purchase Accounting Adjustments
Adjusted income is calculated prior to considering certain significant purchase-accounting impacts, such as those related to our acquisitions of BioRexis, Embrex, Rinat, sanofi-aventis’ rights to Exubera, PowderMed, Idun and Vicuron, as well as net asset acquisitions. These impacts can include charges for purchased in-process R&D, the incremental charge to cost of sales from the sale of acquired inventory that was written up to fair value and the incremental charges related to the amortization of finite-lived

|
Financial Review |
Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies |
|
intangible assets for the increase to fair value. Therefore, the Adjusted income measure includes the revenues earned upon the sale of the acquired products without considering the aforementioned significant charges.
Certain of the purchase-accounting adjustments associated with a business combination, such as the amortization of intangibles acquired in connection with our acquisition of Pharmacia in 2003, can occur for up to 40 years (these assets have a weighted-average useful life of approximately nine years), but this presentation provides an alternative view of our performance that is used by management to internally assess business performance. We believe the elimination of amortization attributable to acquired intangible assets provides management and investors an alternative view of our business results by trying to provide a degree of parity to internally developed intangible assets for which research and development costs have been previously expensed.
However, a completely accurate comparison of internally developed intangible assets and acquired intangible assets cannot be achieved through Adjusted income. This component of Adjusted income is derived solely with the impacts of the items listed in the first paragraph of this section. We have not factored in the impacts of any other differences in experience that might have occurred if we had discovered and developed those intangible assets on our own, and this approach is not intended to be representative of the results that would have occurred in those circumstances. For example, our research and development costs in total, and in the periods presented, may have been different; our speed to commercialization and resulting sales, if any, may have been different; or our costs to manufacture may have been different. In addition, our marketing efforts may have been received differently by our customers. As such, in total, there can be no assurance that our Adjusted income amounts would have been the same as presented had we discovered and developed the acquired intangible assets.
Acquisition-Related Costs
Adjusted income is calculated prior to considering integration and restructuring costs associated with business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction and represent costs that were incurred to restructure and integrate two businesses as a result of the acquisition decision. For additional clarity, only restructuring and integration activities that are associated with a purchase business combination or a net-asset acquisition are included in acquisition-related costs. We have made no adjustments for the resulting synergies.
We believe that viewing income prior to considering these charges provides investors with a useful additional perspective because the significant costs incurred in a business combination result primarily from the need to eliminate duplicate assets, activities or employees—a natural result of acquiring a fully integrated set of activities. For this reason, we believe that the costs incurred to convert disparate systems, to close duplicative facilities or to eliminate duplicate positions (for example, in the context of a business combination) can be viewed differently from those costs incurred in other, more normal business contexts.
The integration and restructuring costs associated with a business combination may occur over several years, with the more significant impacts ending within three years of the transaction. Because of the need for certain external approvals for some actions, the span of time needed to achieve certain restructuring and integration activities can be lengthy. For example, due to the highly regulated nature of the pharmaceutical business, the closure of excess facilities can take several years, as all manufacturing changes are subject to extensive validation and testing and must be approved by the FDA.
Discontinued Operations
Adjusted income is calculated prior to considering the results of operations included in discontinued operations, such as our Consumer Healthcare business, which we sold in December 2006, as well as any related gains or losses on the sale of such operations. We believe that this presentation is meaningful to investors because, while we review our businesses and product lines periodically for strategic fit with our operations, we do not build or run our businesses with an intent to sell them.
Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principles
Adjusted income is calculated prior to considering the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles. The cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles is generally one time in nature and not expected to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis.
Certain Significant Items
Adjusted income is calculated prior to considering certain significant items. Certain significant items represent substantive, unusual items that are evaluated on an individual basis. Such evaluation considers both the quantitative and the qualitative aspect of their unusual nature. Unusual, in this context, may represent items that are not part of our ongoing business; items that, either as a result of their nature or size, we would not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis; items that would be non-recurring; or items that relate to products we no longer sell. While not all-inclusive, examples of items that could be included as certain significant items would be a major non-acquisition-related restructuring charge and associated implementation costs for a program which is specific in nature with a defined term, such as those related to our cost-reduction initiatives; charges related to sales or disposals of products or facilities that do not qualify as discontinued operations as defined by U.S. GAAP; amounts associated with transition service agreements in support of discontinued operations after sale; certain intangible asset impairments; adjustments related to the resolution of certain tax positions; the impact of adopting certain significant, event-driven tax legislation, such as adjustments associated with charges attributable to the repatriation of foreign earnings in accordance with the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004; or possible charges related to legal matters, such as certain of those discussed inLegal Proceedingsin our Form 10-K and inPart II: Other Information; Item 1, Legal Proceedingsin our Form 10-Q filings. Normal, ongoing defense costs of the Company or settlements and accruals on legal matters made in the normal course of our business would not be considered certain significant items.

We rely largely on operating cash flow, short-term investments, long-term debt and short-term commercial paper borrowings to provide for the working capital needs of our operations, including our R&D activities. We believe that we have the ability to obtain both short-term and long-term debt to meet our financing needs for the foreseeable future.
Investments
Our short-term and long-term investments consist primarily of high-quality, investment-grade available-for-sale debt securities. Our long-term investments include debt securities that totaled $2.6 billion as of December 31, 2007, which have maturities ranging substantially from one to five years. Wherever possible, cash management is centralized and intercompany financing is used to provide working capital to our operations. Where local restrictions prevent intercompany financing, working capital needs are met through operating cash flows and/or external borrowings. Our portfolio of short-term investments as of December 31, 2006, reflects the receipt of proceeds from the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business of $16.6 billion. Our portfolio of short-term investments was reduced in 2007 and the proceeds were used to fund items such as the taxes due on the gain from the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business, completed in December 2006, share repurchases, dividends and capital expenditures in 2007.
Long-Term Debt Issuance
On December 10, 2007, we issued the following notes to be used for general corporate purposes, including the payment of maturing debt:
|
|
• | $1.3 billion equivalent, senior, unsecured, euro-denominated notes, due December 15, 2014, which pay interest annually, beginning December 15, 2008, at a fixed rate of 4.75%. |
|
|
On May 11, 2007, we issued the following notes to be used for general corporate purposes: | |
|
|
• | $1.2 billion equivalent, senior, unsecured, euro-denominated notes, due May 15, 2017, which pay interest annually, beginning May 15, 2008, at a fixed rate of 4.55%. |
The notes were issued under a securities registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in March 2007.
Two major corporate debt-rating organizations, Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) and Standard & Poor’s (S&P), assign ratings to our short-term and long-term debt. The following chart reflects the current ratings assigned to our senior, unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term debt and commercial paper issued directly by us by each of these agencies:

Debt Capacity
We have available lines of credit and revolving-credit agreements with a group of banks and other financial intermediaries. We maintain cash and cash equivalent balances and short-term investments in excess of our commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. As of December 31, 2007, we had access to $3.7 billion of lines of credit, of which $1.5 billion expire within one year. Of these lines of credit, $3.6 billion are unused, of which our lenders have committed to loan us $2.1 billion at our request. $2.0 billion of the unused lines of credit, which expire in 2012, may be used to support our commercial paper borrowings.
In March 2007, we filed a securities registration statement with the SEC. This registration statement was filed under the automatic shelf registration process available to well-known seasoned issuers and is effective for three years. We can issue securities of various types under that registration statement at any time, subject to approval by our Board of Directors in certain circumstances.

Developed Technology Rights — Developed technology rights represent the amortized value associated with developed technology, which has been acquired from third parties, and which can include the right to develop, use, market, sell and/or offer for sale the product, compounds and intellectual property that we have acquired with respect to products, compounds and/or processes that have been completed. We possess a well-diversified portfolio of hundreds of developed technology rights across therapeutic categories, primarily representing the amortized value of the commercialized products included in our Pharmaceutical segment that we acquired in connection with our Pharmacia acquisition in 2003. While the Arthritis and Pain therapeutic category represents about 30% of the total amortized value of developed technology rights as of December 31, 2007, the balance of the amortized value is evenly distributed across the following Pharmaceutical therapeutic product categories: Ophthalmology; Oncology; Urology; Infectious and Respiratory Diseases; Endocrine Disorders categories; and, as a group, Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases; Central Nervous System Disorders and All Other categories. The significant components include values determined for Celebrex, Detrol/Detrol LA, Xalatan, Genotropin, Zyvox, and Campto/Camptosar. Also included in this category are the post-approval milestone payments made under our alliance agreements for certain Pharmaceutical products, such as Rebif and Spiriva. These rights are all subject to our impairment review process explained in the “Accounting Policies: Long-Lived Assets” section of this Financial Review.
In 2007, we recorded a charge of $1.1 billion for the impairment of intangible assets (primarily developed technology rights) associated with Exubera. See the “Our 2007 Performance: Decision to Exit Exubera” section of this Financial Review.
Brands— Significant components of brands include values determined for Depo-Provera contraceptive, Xanax and Medrol.
In 2006, we recorded impairment charges of approximately $320 million related to the Depo-Provera brand (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 7. Other (Income)/ Deductions—Net).

30 | 2007 Financial Report
Our net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $13.4 billion in 2007, compared to $17.6 billion in 2006. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to:
|
|
• | higher tax payments ($2.2 billion) in 2007, related primarily to the gain on the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business in December 2006; and |
|
|
• | the timing of other receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business. |
|
|
Our net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $17.6 billion in 2006, compared to $14.7 billion in 2005. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to: | |
|
|
• | the payment of $1.7 billion in taxes in 2005 associated with the repatriation of approximately $37 billion of foreign earnings under the Jobs Act in 2005; and |
|
|
• | the timing of other receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business. |
In 2007 and 2006, the cash flow line item calledIncome taxes payableprimarily reflects the taxes provided in 2006 on the gain on the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business that were paid in 2007.
Investing Activities
Our net cash provided by investing activities was $795 million in 2007, compared to $5.1 billion in 2006. The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities was primarily attributable to:
|
|
• | lower net sales and redemptions of investments in 2007 (a negative change in cash and cash equivalents of $6.1 billion), |
|
|
partially offset by: | |
|
|
• | the acquisitions of BioRexis and Embrex in 2007, compared to the acquisitions of PowderMed, Rinat and sanofi-aventis’ rights associated with Exubera in 2006 (a decreased use of cash of $1.9 billion). |
|
|
| Our net cash provided by investing activities was $5.1 billion in 2006, compared to net cash used by investing activities of $5.1 billion in 2005. The increase in net cash provided by investing activities was primarily attributable to: |
|
|
• | higher net sales and redemptions of short-term investments in 2006 (an increased source of cash of $12.4 billion), primarily used to pay down short-term borrowings, |
partially offset by:
|
|
• | an increase in net purchases of long-term investments (an increased use of cash of $2.3 billion); and |
|
|
• | the acquisitions of PowderMed, Rinat and sanofi-aventis’ rights to Exubera in 2006, compared to the acquisitions of Vicuron and Idun in 2005 (an increased use of cash of $216 million). |
Financing Activities
Our net cash used in financing activities was $12.6 billion in 2007, compared to $23.1 billion in 2006. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to:
|
|
• | net borrowings of $4.9 billion in 2007, compared to net repayments of $9.9 billion on total borrowings in 2006, |
|
|
partially offset by: | |
|
|
• | higher purchases of common stock in 2007 of $10.0 billion, compared to $7.0 billion in 2006; and |
|
|
• | an increase in cash dividends paid of $1.1 billion, reflecting an increase in the dividend rate, partially offset by lower shares outstanding. |
|
|
Our net cash used in financing activities was $23.1 billion in 2006, compared to $9.2 billion in 2005. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to: | |
|
|
• | net repayments of $9.9 billion on total borrowings in 2006, compared to $321 million in 2005; |
|
|
• | an increase in cash dividends paid of $1.4 billion in 2006, compared to 2005, reflecting an increase in the dividend rate; and |
|
|
• | higher purchases of common stock in 2006 of $7.0 billion, compared to $3.8 billion in 2005, |
|
|
partially offset by: | |
|
|
• | higher proceeds of $243 million from the exercise of employee stock options. |
In June 2005, we announced a $5 billion share-purchase program, which is primarily being funded by operating cash flows and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business. In June 2006, the Board of Directors increased our share-purchase authorization from $5 billion to $18 billion. In total, under the June 2005 program, through December 31, 2007, we purchased approximately 683 million shares for approximately $17.5 billion.
In October 2004, we announced a $5 billion share-purchase program, which we completed in the second quarter of 2005 and was funded from operating cash flows. In total, under the October 2004 program, we purchased approximately 185 million shares.
In January 2008, we announced a new $5 billion share-purchase program, which will be funded by operating cash flows as circumstances and prices warrant.

(a) | Our long-term debt obligations include both our expected principal and interest obligations. Our calculations of expected interest payments incorporates only current period assumptions for interest rates, foreign currency translations rates and hedging strategies. (SeeNote 10. Financial Instruments.) Long-term debt consists of senior, unsecured notes, floating rate, unsecured notes, foreign currency denominated notes, and other borrowings and mortgages. |
|
|
(b) | Includes expected payments relating to our unfunded U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) pension plans, postretirement plans and deferred compensation plans. |
|
|
(c) | Includes operating and capital lease obligations. |
|
|
(d) | Purchase obligations represent agreements to purchase goods and services that are enforceable and legally binding and include amounts relating to advertising, information technology services and employee benefit administration services. |
|
|
(e) | Reflects the adoption as of January 1, 2007, of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and supplemented by FASB Financial Staff Position FIN 48-1,Definition of Settlement of FASB Interpretation No. 48, issued May 2, 2007, (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1D. Significant Accounting Policies: New Accounting Standards). Except for amounts reflected inIncome taxes payable, we are unable to predict the timing of tax settlements, as tax audits can involve complex issues and the resolution of those issues may span multiple years, particularly if subject to negotiation or litigation. |
In 2008, we expect to spend approximately $2.0 billion on property, plant and equipment.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of business and in connection with the sale of assets and businesses, we often indemnify our counterparties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with a transaction or that are related to activities prior to a transaction. These indemnifications typically pertain to environmental, tax, employee and/or product-related matters, and patent infringement claims. If the indemnified party were to make a successful claim pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, we would be required to reimburse the loss. These indemnifications are generally subject to threshold amounts, specified claim periods and other restrictions and limitations. Historically, we have not paid significant amounts under these provisions and, as of December 31, 2007, recorded amounts for the estimated fair value of these indemnifications are not significant.
Certain of our co-promotion or license agreements give our licensors or partners the rights to negotiate for, or in some cases to obtain, under certain financial conditions, co-promotion or
other rights in specified countries with respect to certain of our products.
Dividends on Common Stock
We declared dividends of $8.2 billion in 2007 and $7.3 billion in 2006 on our common stock. In 2007, we increased our annual dividend to $1.16 per share from $0.96 per share in 2006. In December 2007, our Board of Directors declared a first-quarter 2008 dividend of $0.32 per share. The 2008 cash dividend marks the 41st consecutive year of dividend increases.
Our current dividend provides a return to shareholders while maintaining sufficient capital to invest in growing our businesses. Our dividends are funded from operating cash flows, our financial asset portfolio and short-term commercial paper borrowings and are not restricted by debt covenants. To the extent we have additional capital in excess of investment opportunities, we typically offer a return to our shareholders through a stock-purchase program. We believe that our profitability and access to financial markets provide sufficient capability for us to pay current and future dividends.
New Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
As of January 1, 2007, we adopted FIN 48, which provides guidance on the recognition, derecognition and measurement of tax positions for financial statement purposes. Prior to 2007, our policy had been to account for income tax contingencies based on whether we determined our tax position to be ‘probable’ under current tax law of being sustained, as well as an analysis of potential outcomes under a given set of facts and circumstances. FIN 48 requires that tax positions be sustainable based on a ‘more likely than not’ standard of benefit recognition under current tax law, and adjusted to reflect the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement, presuming that the tax position is examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we reduced our existing liabilities for uncertain tax positions by approximately $11 million, which has been recorded as a direct adjustment to the opening balance ofRetained earnings, and changed the classification of virtually all amounts associated with uncertain tax positions, including the associated accrued interest, from current to noncurrent, as of the date of adoption.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Adopted as of December 31, 2007
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157),Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 provides guidance for, among other things, the definition of fair value and the methods used to measure fair value. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.Under the terms of FSP 157-2, the provisions of SFAS 157 will be adopted for financial instruments in 2008 and, when required, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities in 2009 (except for those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis). We do not expect that the provisions to be adopted in 2008 will have a significant impact on our financial statements and we are in the process of evaluating the impact of provisions to be adopted in 2009.
32 | 2007 Financial Report
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51,Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 provides guidance for the accounting, reporting and disclosure of noncontrolling interests, also called minority interest. A minority interest represents the portion of equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. The provisions of SFAS 160 will be adopted in 2009. The provisions of SFAS 160 will impact our current accounting for minority interests, which are not significant, and will impact our accounting for future acquisitions, if any, where we do not acquire 100% of the entity. We are currently in the process of evaluating the extent of those potential impacts.
In December 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 07-1,Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements. EITF 07-1 provides guidance concerning: determining whether an arrangement constitutes a collaborative arrangement within the scope of the Issue; how costs incurred and revenue generated on sales to third parties should be reported in the income statement; how an entity should characterize payments on the income statement; and what participants should disclose in the notes to the financial statements about a collaborative arrangement. The provisions of EITF 07-1 will be adopted in 2009. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting EITF 07-1 on our financial statements.
In June 2007, the EITF issued EITF Issue No. 07-3,Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future Research and Development Activities.EITF Issue No. 07-3 provides guidance concerning the accounting for non-refundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future R&D activities and requires that they be expensed when the research and development activity has been performed and not at the time of payment. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 07-3 will be adopted in 2008. We do not expect that the adoption of EITF Issue No. 07-3 will have a significant impact on our financial statements.
Forward-Looking Information and Factors
That May Affect Future Results
The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report and other written or oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set forth anticipated results based
on management’s plans and assumptions. Such forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” “forecast” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance or business plans and prospects. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, business plans and prospects, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following:
|
|
• | Success of research and development activities; |
|
|
• | Decisions by regulatory authorities regarding whether and when to approve our drug applications as well as their decisions regarding labeling and other matters that could affect the availability or commercial potential of our products; |
|
|
• | Speed with which regulatory authorizations, pricing approvals and product launches may be achieved; |
|
|
• | Success of external business development activities; |
|
|
• | Competitive developments, including with respect to competitor drugs and drug candidates that treat diseases and conditions similar to those treated by our in-line drugs and drug candidates; |
|
|
• | Ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally; |

• | Difficulties or delays in manufacturing; |
|
|
• | Trade buying patterns; |
|
|
• | Ability to meet generic and branded competition after the loss of patent protection for our products and competitor products; |
|
|
• | Impact of existing and future legislation and regulatory provisions on product exclusivity; |
|
|
• | Trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment; |
|
|
• | U.S. legislation or regulatory action affecting, among other things, pharmaceutical product pricing, reimbursement or access, including under Medicaid and Medicare, the importation of prescription drugs from outside the U.S. at prices that are regulated by governments of various foreign countries, and the involuntary approval of prescription medicines for over-the-counter use; |
|
|
• | Impact of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003; |
|
|
• | Legislation or regulatory action in markets outside the U.S. affecting pharmaceutical product pricing, reimbursement or access; |
|
|
• | Contingencies related to actual or alleged environmental contamination; |

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions. Achievement of anticipated results is subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions are discussed here and under the heading entitled “Risk Factors and Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which will be filed in February 2008. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.
This report includes discussion of certain clinical studies relating to various in-line products and/or product candidates. These studies typically are part of a larger body of clinical data relating to such products or product candidates, and the discussion herein should be considered in the context of the larger body of data.
Financial Risk Management
The overall objective of our financial risk management program is to seek a reduction in the potential negative earnings effects from changes in foreign exchange and interest rates arising in our business activities. We manage these financial exposures through operational means and by using various financial instruments. These practices may change as economic conditions change.
Foreign Exchange Risk—A significant portion of our revenues and earnings is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. We seek to manage our foreign exchange risk in part through operational means, including managing same currency revenues in relation to same currency costs, and same currency assets in relation to same currency liabilities.
Foreign exchange risk is also managed through the use of foreign currency forward-exchange contracts. These contracts are used to offset the potential earnings effects from mostly intercompany short-term foreign currency assets and liabilities that arise from operations. Foreign currency swaps are used to offset the potential earnings effects from foreign currency debt. We also use foreign currency forward-exchange contracts and foreign currency swaps to hedge the potential earnings effects from short and long-term foreign currency investments, third-party loans and intercompany loans.
In addition, under certain market conditions, we protect against possible declines in the reported net assets of our Japanese yen, Swedish krona and certain euro functional-currency subsidiaries. In these cases, we use currency swaps or foreign currency debt.
Our financial instrument holdings at year-end were analyzed to determine their sensitivity to foreign exchange rate changes. The fair values of these instruments were determined as follows:
|
|
• | foreign currency forward-exchange contracts and currency swaps—net present values |
|
|
• | foreign receivables, payables, debt and loans—changes in exchange rates |
In this sensitivity analysis, we assumed that the change in one currency’s rate relative to the U.S. dollar would not have an effect on other currencies’ rates relative to the U.S. dollar. All other factors were held constant.
If there were an adverse change in foreign exchange rates of 10%, the expected effect on net income related to our financial instruments would be immaterial. For additional details, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 10D. Financial Instruments: Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.
Interest Rate Risk—Our U.S. dollar interest-bearing investments, loans and borrowings are subject to interest rate risk. We are also subject to interest rate risk on euro debt, investments and currency swaps, Swedish krona currency swaps, and on Japanese yen short and long-term borrowings and currency swaps. We invest, loan and borrow primarily on a short-term or variable-rate basis. From time to time, depending on market conditions, we will fix interest rates either through entering into fixed-rate investments and borrowings or through the use of derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps.
34 | 2007 Financial Report
Our financial instrument holdings at year-end were analyzed to determine their sensitivity to interest rate changes. The fair values of these instruments were determined by net present values.
In this sensitivity analysis, we used a one hundred basis point change (decreased 1% from the rate of the yield of the financial instrument) in interest rates for all maturities. All other factors were held constant. This represents a change in the key model characteristic from last year. The change was made to better reflect the potential impact of a significant change in interest rates. Applying this new model characteristic to our financial instruments last year had no material effect.
In 2007 and 2006, if there were an adverse change of one hundred basis points in interest rates, the expected effect on net income related to our financial instruments would be immaterial.
Legal Proceedings and Contingencies
We and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in various patent, product liability, consumer, commercial, securities, environmental and tax litigations and claims; government investigations; and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe any of them will have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
Beginning in 2007 upon the adoption of a new accounting standard, we record accruals for income tax contingencies to the extent that we conclude that a tax position is not sustainable under a ‘more likely than not’ standard and we record our estimate of the potential tax benefits in one tax jurisdiction that could result from the payment of income taxes in another tax jurisdiction when we conclude that the potential recovery is more likely than not. (See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1D. Significant Accounting Policies: New Accounting StandardsandNote 8E. Taxes on Income: Tax Contingencies.) We record accruals for all other contingencies to the extent that we conclude their occurrence is probable and the related damages are estimable, and we record anticipated recoveries under existing insurance contracts when assured of recovery. If a range of liability is probable and estimable and some amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we accrue that amount. If a range of liability is probable and estimable and no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we accrue the minimum of such probable range. Many claims involve highly complex issues relating to causation, label warnings, scientific evidence, actual damages and other matters. Often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of loss and an estimation of damages are difficult to ascertain. Consequently, we cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential exposure or the range of possible loss in excess of amounts accrued for these contingencies. These assessments can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1B. Significant Accounting Policies: Estimates and Assumptions). Our assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and excessive verdicts do occur. Although we believe we have substantial defenses in these matters, we could in the future incur judgments or enter into
settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any particular period.
Patent claims include challenges to the coverage and/or validity of our patents on various products or processes. Although we believe we have substantial defenses to these challenges with respect to all our material patents, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of these matters, and a loss in any of these cases could result in a loss of patent protection for the drug at issue, which could lead to a significant loss of sales of that drug and could materially affect future results of operations.

Management’s Report
We prepared and are responsible for the financial statements that appear in our 2007 Financial Report. These financial statements are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, therefore, include amounts based on informed judgments and estimates. We also accept responsibility for the preparation of other financial information that is included in this document.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment and those criteria, management believes that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.
The Company’s independent auditors have issued their auditors’ report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. That report appears in our 2007 Financial Report under the heading,Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

The Audit Committee reviews the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls.
In this context, the Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm regarding the fair and complete presentation of the Company’s results and the assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Committee has discussed significant accounting policies applied by the Company in its financial statements, as well as alternative treatments. Management represented to the Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. The Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61,Communication with Audit Committees.

The Committee has concluded that the independent registered public accounting firm is independent from the Company and its management.
The Committee reviewed and discussed Company policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management.
The Committee discussed with the Company’s internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Committee met with the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, the evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
|
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Pfizer Inc:
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, based on risk assessment. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, and our report dated February 29, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies
|
1.Significant Accounting Policies
A. Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include our parent company and all subsidiaries, including those operating outside the U.S., and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). For subsidiaries operating outside the U.S., the financial information is included as of and for the year ended November 30 for each year presented. Substantially all unremitted earnings of international subsidiaries are free of legal and contractual restrictions. All significant transactions among our businesses have been eliminated.
We made certain reclassifications to the 2006 and 2005 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2007 presentation, primarily related to presenting certain tax receivables in current assets.
B. Estimates and Assumptions
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we use certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. For example, estimates are used when accounting for deductions from revenues (such as rebates, chargebacks, sales returns and sales allowances), depreciation, amortization, employee benefits, contingencies and asset and liability valuations. Our estimates are often based on complex judgments, probabilities and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may later prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, or unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause us to change those estimates and assumptions. It is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. We are also subject to other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimated amounts, such as changes in the healthcare environment, competition, foreign exchange, litigation, legislation and regulations. These and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in the accompanying Financial Review, which is unaudited, under the headings “Our Operating Environment and Response to Key Opportunities and Challenges” and “Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results.”
C. Contingencies
We and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in various patent, product liability, consumer, commercial, securities, environmental and tax litigations and claims; government investigations; and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Except for income tax contingencies, we record accruals for contingencies to the extent that we conclude that their occurrence is probable and that the related liabilities are estimable and we record anticipated recoveries under existing insurance contracts when assured of recovery. For tax matters, beginning in 2007 upon the adoption of a new accounting standard, we record accruals for income tax contingencies to the extent that we conclude that a tax position is not sustainable under a ‘more likely than not’ standard and we record our estimate of the potential tax benefits in one tax jurisdiction that could result from the payment of income taxes in another tax jurisdiction when we conclude that the potential recovery is more likely than not. (SeeNote 1D. Significant
Accounting Policies: New Accounting Standards and Note 8E. Taxes on Income: Tax Contingencies.) We consider many factors in making these assessments. Because litigation and other contingencies are inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur, these assessments can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions (seeNote 1B. Significant Accounting Policies: Estimates and Assumptions).
D. New Accounting Standards
On December 31, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (an amendment of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R).SFAS 158 requires us to recognize on our balance sheet the difference between our benefit obligations and any plan assets of our benefit plans. In
2007 Financial Report | 43
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies
|
addition, we are required to recognize as part of other comprehensive income/(expense), net of taxes, gains and losses due to differences between our actuarial assumptions and actual experience (actuarial gains and losses) and any effects on prior service due to plan amendments (prior service costs or credits) that arise during the period and which are not yet recognized as net periodic benefit costs. At adoption date, we recognized the previously unrecognized actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits and net transition amounts withinAccumulated other comprehensive income/(expense),net of tax (seeNote 14. Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Plans).
On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R,Share-Based Payment, as supplemented by the interpretation provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, issued in March 2005. (SFAS 123R replaced SFAS 123,Stock-Based Compensation, issued in 1995.) We elected the modified prospective application transition method of adoption and, as such, prior-period financial statements were not restated for this change. Under this method, the fair value of all stock options granted or modified after adoption must be recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Total compensation cost related to nonvested awards not yet recognized, determined under the original provisions of SFAS 123, must also be recognized in the consolidated statement of income. The adoption of SFAS 123R primarily impacted our accounting for stock options (seeNote 16. Share-Based Payments). Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock options under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, an elective accounting policy permitted by SFAS 123. Under this standard, since the exercise price of our stock options granted is set equal to the market price of Pfizer common stock on the date of the grant, we did not record any expense to the consolidated statement of income related to stock options, unless certain original grant date terms were subsequently modified. However, as required, we disclosed, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the pro forma expense impact of the stock option grants as if we had applied the fair-value-based recognition provisions of SFAS 123.
As of December 31, 2005, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 47 (FIN 47),Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143).FIN 47 clarifies that conditional obligations meet the definition of an asset retirement obligation in SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, and therefore should be recognized if their fair value is reasonably estimable. As a result of adopting FIN 47, we recorded a non-cash pre-tax charge of $40 million ($23 million, net of tax). This charge was reported inCumulative effect of a change in accounting principles—net of taxin the fourth quarter of 2005. In accordance with these standards, we record accruals for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets, including obligations under the doctrine of promissory estoppel and those that are conditional upon the occurrence of future events. We recognize these obligations using management’s best estimate of fair value.
E. Acquisitions
Our consolidated financial statements and results of operations reflect an acquired business after the completion of the acquisition and are not restated. We account for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Amounts allocated to acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) are expensed at the date of acquisition. When we acquire net assets that do not constitute a business under U.S. GAAP, no goodwill is recognized.
F. Foreign Currency Translation
For most international operations, local currencies have been determined to be the functional currencies. The effects of converting non-functional currency assets and liabilities into the functional currency are recorded inOther (income)/deductions—net. We translate functional currency assets and liabilities to their U.S. dollar equivalents at rates in effect at the balance sheet date and record these translation adjustments inShareholders’ equity—Accumulated other comprehensive income/(expense). We translate functional currency statement of income amounts at average rates for the period.
For operations in highly inflationary economies, we translate monetary items at rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with translation adjustments recorded inOther (income)/deductions—net, and nonmonetary items at historical rates.
G. Revenues
Revenue Recognition—We record revenues from product sales when the goods are shipped and title passes to the customer. At the time of sale, we also record estimates for a variety of sales deductions, such as sales rebates, discounts and incentives, and product returns. When we cannot reasonably estimate the amount of future product returns, we record revenues when the risk of product return has been substantially eliminated.
Deductions from Revenues—Gross product sales are subject to a variety of deductions that are generally estimated and recorded in the same period that the revenues are recognized.
In the U.S., we record provisions for Medicaid, Medicare and contract rebates based upon our actual experience ratio of rebates paid and actual prescriptions during prior quarters. We apply the experience ratio to the respective period’s sales to determine the rebate accrual and related expense. This experience ratio is evaluated regularly to ensure that the historical trends are as current as practicable. As appropriate, we will adjust the ratio to better match our current experience or our expected future experience. In assessing this ratio, we consider current contract terms, such as changes in formulary status and discount rates.
Outside the U.S., the majority of our rebates are contractual or legislatively mandated and our estimates are based on actual invoiced sales within each period; both of these elements help to reduce the risk of variations in the estimation process. Some European countries base their rebates on the government’s unbudgeted pharmaceutical spending and we use an estimated allocation factor based on historical payments against our actual
44 | 2007 Financial Report
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies
|
invoiced sales to project the expected level of reimbursement. We obtain third-party information that helps us to monitor the adequacy of these accruals.
Our provisions for chargebacks (primarily reimbursements to wholesalers for honoring contracted prices to third parties) closely approximate actual, as we settle these deductions generally within two to three weeks of incurring the liability.
We record sales allowances as a reduction of revenues at the time the related revenues are recorded or when the allowance is offered, whichever is later. We estimate the cost of our sales incentives based on our historical experience with similar incentive programs.
Our accruals for Medicaid rebates, Medicare rebates, performance-based contract rebates and chargebacks were $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2007, and $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2006.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis; that is, they are excluded from revenues.
Alliances—We have agreements to co-promote pharmaceutical products discovered by other companies. Revenues are earned when our co-promotion partners ship the related product and title passes to their customer. Alliance revenues are primarily based upon a percentage of our co-promotion partners’ net sales. Expenses for selling and marketing these products are included inSelling, informational and administrative expenses.
H. Cost of Sales and Inventories
We value inventories at cost or fair value, if lower. Cost is determined as follows:
|
|
• | finished goods and work in process at average actual cost; and |
|
|
• | raw materials and supplies at average or latest actual cost. |
|
|
I. Selling, Informational and Administrative Expenses
Selling, informational and administrative costs are expensed as incurred. Among other things, these expenses include the costs of marketing, advertising, shipping and handling, information technology and non-plant employee compensation.
Advertising expenses relating to production costs are expensed as incurred and the costs of radio time, television time and space in publications are expensed when the related advertising occurs. Advertising expenses totaled approximately $2.7 billion in 2007, $2.6 billion in 2006 and $2.7 billion in 2005.
J. Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (R&D) costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses include the costs of our proprietary R&D efforts, as well as costs incurred in connection with our third-party collaboration efforts. Before a compound receives regulatory approval, we record milestone payments made by us to third parties under contracted R&D arrangements as expense when the specific milestone has been achieved. Once a compound receives regulatory approval, we record any subsequent milestone payments inIdentifiable intangible assets, less accumulated amortizationand, unless the assets are determined to have an indefinite life, we amortize them evenly over the remaining
agreement term or the expected product life cycle, whichever is shorter.
|
|
• | Goodwill—Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of its net assets. Goodwill is not amortized. |
|
|
• | Identifiable intangible assets, less accumulated amortization—These acquired assets are recorded at our cost. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized evenly over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. |
|
|
• | Property, plant and equipment, less accumulated depreciation—These assets are recorded at original cost and increased by the cost of any significant improvements after purchase. We depreciate the cost evenly over the assets’ estimated useful lives. For tax purposes, accelerated depreciation methods are used as allowed by tax laws. |
Amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets that contribute to our ability to sell, manufacture, research, market and distribute products, compounds and intellectual property are included inAmortization of intangible assetsas they benefit multiple business functions. Amortization expense related to intangible assets that are associated with a single function and depreciation of property, plant and equipment are included inCost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses and Researchanddevelopment expenses,as appropriate.
We review all of our long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, for impairment indicators at least annually and we perform detailed impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived assets annually and for all other long-lived assets whenever impairment indicators are present. When necessary, we record charges for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the present value of future cash flows, or some other fair value measure, is less than the carrying value of these assets.
L. Acquisition-Related In-Process Research and Development Charges and Restructuring Charges and Acquisition-Related Costs
When recording acquisitions (seeNote 1E. Significant Accounting Policies: Acquisitions), we immediately expense amounts related to acquired IPR&D inAcquisition-related in-process research and development charges.
We may incur restructuring charges in connection with our cost-reduction initiatives, as well as in connection with acquisitions, when we implement plans to restructure and integrate the acquired operations. For restructuring charges associated with a business acquisition that are identified in the first year after the acquisition date, the related costs are recorded as additional goodwill because they are considered to be liabilities assumed in the acquisition. All other restructuring charges, all integration costs and any charges related to our pre-existing businesses impacted by an acquisition are included inRestructuring charges and acquisition-related costs.

M. Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include items almost as liquid as cash, such as certificates of deposit and time deposits with maturity periods of three months or less when purchased. If items meeting this definition are part of a larger investment pool, we classify them asShort-term investments.
N. Investments
Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are determined by using the specific identification cost method.
O. Income Tax Contingencies
We are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions and a certain degree of estimation is required in recording the assets and liabilities related to income taxes. For a description of our accounting policy associated with accounting for income tax contingencies, seeNote 1D. Significant Accounting Policies: New Accounting Standards. All of our tax positions are subject to audit by the local taxing authorities in each tax jurisdiction. Tax audits can involve complex issues and the resolution of issues may span multiple years, particularly if subject to negotiation or litigations.
P. Share-Based Payments
Our compensation programs can include share-based payments.
Beginning in 2006, all grants under share-based payment programs are accounted for at fair value and these fair values are generally amortized on an even basis over the vesting terms into Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expensesandResearch and development expenses, as appropriate. In 2005 and earlier years, grants under stock option and performance-contingent share award programs were accounted for using the intrinsic value method.
2. Acquisitions
We are committed to capitalizing on new growth opportunities, a strategy that can include acquisitions of companies, products or technologies. During the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we acquired the following:
|
|
• | In the first quarter of 2007, we acquired BioRexis Pharmaceutical Corp., (BioRexis) a privately held biopharmaceutical company with a number of diabetes candidates and a novel technology platform for developing new protein drug candidates, and Embrex, Inc., (Embrex) an animal health company that possesses a unique vaccine delivery system known as Inovoject that improves consistency and reliability by inoculating chicks while they are still in the egg. In connection with these and other smaller acquisitions, we recorded $283 million inAcquisition-related in-process research and development charges. |
|
|
• | In February 2006, we completed the acquisition of the sanofi-aventis worldwide rights, including patent rights and production technology, to manufacture and sell Exubera, an inhaled form of insulin, and the insulin-production business and facilities located in Frankfurt, Germany, previously jointly owned by Pfizer and sanofi-aventis, for approximately $1.4 billion (including transaction costs). Substantially all assets recorded in connection with this acquisition have now been written off. SeeNote 4. Asset Impairment Charges and Other Costs Associated with Exiting Exubera. Prior to the acquisition, |
|
|
| in connection with our collaboration agreement with sanofi-aventis, we recorded a research and development milestone due to us from sanofi-aventis of $118 million ($71 million, after tax) in 2006 inResearch and development expensesupon the approval of Exubera in January 2006 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). |
|
|
• | In December 2006, we completed the acquisition of PowderMed Ltd. (PowderMed), a U.K. company which specializes in the emerging science of DNA-based vaccines for the treatment of influenza and chronic viral diseases, and in May 2006, we completed the acquisition of Rinat Neurosciences Corp. (Rinat), a biologics company with several new central-nervous-system product candidates. In 2006, the aggregate cost of these and other smaller acquisitions was approximately $880 million (including transaction costs). In connection with those transactions, we recorded $835 million inAcquisition-related in-process research and development charges. |
|
|
• | In September 2005, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Vicuron Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Vicuron), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel anti-infectives, for approximately $1.9 billion in cash (including transaction costs). In connection with the acquisition, as part of our final purchase price allocation, we recorded $1.4 billion inAcquisition-related in-process research and development charges, and $243 million ofGoodwill, which has been allocated to our Pharmaceutical segment. |
|
|
• | In April 2005, we completed the acquisition of Idun Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Idun), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of therapies to control apoptosis, and in August 2005, we completed the acquisition of Bioren Inc. (Bioren), which focuses on technology for optimizing antibodies. In 2005, the aggregate cost of these and other smaller acquisitions was approximately $340 million in cash (including transaction costs). In connection with these transactions, we recorded $262 million inAcquisition-related in-process research and development charges. |
3. Discontinued Operations
We evaluate our businesses and product lines periodically for strategic fit within our operations. Recent activity includes:
|
|
|
• | In the fourth quarter of 2006, we sold our Consumer Healthcare business for $16.6 billion, and recorded a gain of approximately $10.2 billion ($7.9 billion, net of tax) inGains on sales of discontinued operations—net of taxin the consolidated statement of income for 2006. In 2007, we recorded a loss of approximately $70 million, after-tax, primarily related to the resolution of contingencies, such as purchase price adjustments and product warranty obligations, as well as pension settlements. This business was composed of: | |
|
| |
| o | substantially all of our former Consumer Healthcare segment; |
|
|
|
| o | other associated amounts, such as purchase-accounting impacts, acquisition-related costs and restructuring and implementation costs related to our cost-reduction initiatives that were previously reported in the Corporate/Other segment; and |
46 | 2007 Financial Report
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies
|
|
|
|
| o | certain manufacturing facility assets and liabilities, which were previously part of our Pharmaceutical or Corporate/ Other segment but were included in the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business. The net impact to the Pharmaceutical segment was not significant. |
|
|
|
| The results of this business are included inIncome from discontinued operations—net of taxfor 2006 and 2005. | |
|
|
|
| Legal title to certain assets and legal control of the business in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions did not transfer to the buyer on the closing date of December 20, 2006, because the satisfaction of specific local requirements was pending. These operations represented a small portion of our former Consumer Healthcare business and all of these transactions have now closed. In order to ensure that the buyer was placed in the same economic position as if the assets, operations and activities of those businesses had been transferred on the same date as the rest of the business, we entered into an agreement that passed the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer from December 20, 2006. We treated these delayed-close businesses as sold for accounting purposes on December 20, 2006. | |
|
|
|
| We continued during 2007, and we will continue for a period of time, to generate cash flows and to report gross revenues, income and expense activity that are associated with our former Consumer Healthcare business, in continuing operations, although at a substantially reduced level. After the transfer of these activities, these cash flows and the income statement activity reported in continuing operations will be eliminated. The activities that give rise to these impacts are transitional in nature and generally result from agreements that ensure and facilitate the orderly transfer of business operations to the new owner. For example, we entered into a number of transition services agreements that allow the buyer sufficient time to prepare for the transfer of activities and to limit the risk of business disruption. The nature, magnitude and duration of the agreements vary depending on the specific circumstances of the service, location and/or business need. The agreements can include the following: manufacturing and product supply, logistics, customer service, support of financial processes, procurement, human resources, facilities management, data collection and information services. Most of these agreements extend for periods generally less than 24 months, but because of the inherent complexity of manufacturing processes and the risk of product flow disruption, the product supply agreements generally extend up to 36 months. Included in continuing operations for 2007 were the following amounts associated with these transition service agreements that will no longer occur after the full transfer of activities to the new owner:Revenuesof $219 million;Cost of Salesof $194 million;Selling, informational and administrative expensesof $15 million; andOther (income)/deductions—netof $16 million in income. | |
|
|
|
| None of these agreements confers upon us the ability to influence the operating and/or financial policies of the Consumer Healthcare business under its new ownership. |
|
|
• | In the third quarter of 2005, we sold the last of three European generic pharmaceutical businesses, which we had included in |
|
|
| our Pharmaceutical segment, for 4.7 million euro (approximately $5.6 million). This business became a part of Pfizer in April 2003 in connection with our acquisition of Pharmacia. We recorded a loss of $3 million ($2 million, net of tax) inGains on sales of discontinued operations—net of taxin the consolidated statement of income for 2005. |
|
|
• | In the first quarter of 2005, we sold the second of three European generic pharmaceutical businesses, which we had included in our Pharmaceutical segment, for 70 million euro (approximately $93 million). This business became a part of Pfizer in April 2003 in connection with our acquisition of Pharmacia. We recorded a gain of $57 million ($36 million, net of tax) inGains on sales of discontinued operations—net of taxin the consolidated statement of income for 2005. In addition, we recorded an impairment charge of $9 million ($6 million, net of tax) related to the third European generic business inIncome from discontinued operations—net of taxin the consolidated statement of income for 2005. |
The following amounts, primarily related to our former Consumer Healthcare business, which was sold in December 2006 for $16.6 billion, have been segregated from continuing operations and included inDiscontinued operations—net of taxin the consolidated statements of income:

4. Asset Impairment Charges and Other Costs Associated with Exiting Exubera
In the third quarter of 2007, after an assessment of the financial performance of Exubera, an inhalable form of insulin for the treatment of diabetes, as well as its lack of acceptance by patients, physicians and payers, we decided to exit the product.
2007 Financial Report | 47
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies
|
Our Exubera-related exit plans included working with physicians over a three-month period to transition patients to other treatment options, evaluating redeployment options for colleagues, working with our partners and vendors with respect to transition and exit activities, working with regulators on concluding outstanding clinical trials, implementing an extended transition program for those patients unable to transition to other medications within the three-month period, and exploring asset disposal or redeployment opportunities, as appropriate, among other activities.
As part of this exit plan, in 2007, we paid $135 million to one of our partners in satisfaction of all remaining obligations under existing agreements relating to Exubera and a next generation
insulin (NGI) under development. In addition, in the event that a new partner is selected, we have agreed to transfer our remaining rights and all economic benefits for Exubera and NGI This transfer of our interests would include the transfer of the Exubera New Drug Application and Investigational New Drug Applications and all non-U.S. regulatory filings and applications, continuation of ongoing Exubera clinical trials and certain supply chain transition activities.
Total pre-tax charges for 2007 were $2.8 billion, virtually all of which were recorded in the third quarter. The financial statement line items in which the various charges are recorded and related activity are as follows:

The asset write-offs (intangibles, inventory and fixed assets) represent non-cash charges. The other exit costs, primarily severance, contract and other termination costs, as well as other liabilities, are associated with marketing and research programs, and manufacturing operations related to Exubera. These exit costs resulted in cash expenditures in 2007 (such as the $135 million settlement referred to above) and will result in additional cash expenditures in 2008. We expect that substantially all of the cash spending will be completed within the next year. As a result of exiting this product, certain additional cash costs will be incurred and reported in future periods, such as maintenance-level operating costs. However, those future costs are not expected to be significant. We expect that substantially all exit activities will be completed within the next year.
5. Cost-Reduction Initiatives
In the first quarter of 2005, we launched cost-reduction initiatives to increase efficiency and streamline decision-making across the company. These initiatives, announced in April 2005 and broadened in October 2006 and January 2007, follow the integration of Warner-Lambert and Pharmacia.
We incurred the following costs in connection with our cost-reduction initiatives:

The decrease in domestic income from continuing operations before taxes in 2007 compared to 2006 is due primarily to the volume and geographic mix of product sales and restructuring charges in 2007 compared to 2006, as well as the impact of charges associated with Exubera (seeNote 4. Asset Impairment Charges and Other Costs Associated with Exiting Exubera), partially offset by lower IPR&D charges in 2007 of $283 million, primarily related to our acquisitions of Biorexis and Embrex, compared to IPR&D charges in 2006 of $835 million, primarily related to our acquisitions of Rinat and PowderMed.
The increase in domestic income from continuing operations before taxes in 2006 compared to 2005 is due primarily to IPR&D charges in 2005 of $1.7 billion, primarily related to our acquisitions of Vicuron and Idun, the Bextra impairment and changes in product mix, among other factors, partially offset by IPR&D charges recorded in 2006 of $835 million, primarily related to our acquisitions of Rinat and PowderMed, and a 2006 charge of $320 million related to the impairment of the Depo-Provera intangible asset.

In 2006, we were notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Appeals Division that a resolution had been reached on the matter that we were in the process of appealing related to the tax deductibility of an acquisition-related breakup fee paid by the Warner-Lambert Company in 2000. As a result, we recorded a tax benefit of approximately $441 million related to the resolution of this issue (seeNote 8E. Taxes on Income: Tax Contingencies). Also in 2006, we recorded a decrease to the 2005 estimated U.S. tax provision related to the repatriation of foreign earnings, due primarily to the receipt of information that raised our assessment of the likelihood of prevailing on the technical merits of a certain position, and we recognized a tax benefit of $124 million. Additionally, in 2006, the IRS issued final regulations on Statutory Mergers and Consolidations, which impacted certain prior-period transactions, and we recorded a tax benefit of $217 million, reflecting the total impact of these regulations.
In 2005, we recorded an income tax charge of $1.7 billion, included inProvision for taxes on income, in connection with our decision to repatriate approximately $37 billion of foreign earnings in accordance with theAmerican Jobs Creation Act of 2004(the Jobs Act). The Jobs Act created a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85% dividend-received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations, subject to various limitations and restrictions including qualified U.S. reinvestment of such earnings. In addition, in 2005, we recorded a tax benefit of $586 million related to the resolution of certain tax positions (seeNote 8E. Taxes on Income: Tax Contingencies).
Amounts reflected in the preceding tables are based on the location of the taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2007, we have not made a U.S. tax provision on approximately $60 billion of unremitted earnings of our international subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2007, these earnings are intended to be permanently reinvested overseas. Because of the complexity, it is not practical to compute the estimated deferred tax liability on these permanently reinvested earnings.
Reconciliation of the U.S. statutory income tax rate to our effective tax rate for continuing operations before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies |
|
We operate manufacturing subsidiaries in Puerto Rico, Ireland and Singapore. We benefit from Puerto Rican incentive grants that expire between 2017 and 2027. Under the grants, we are partially exempt from income, property and municipal taxes. Under Section 936 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, Pfizer was a “grandfathered” entity and was entitled to the benefits under such statute until September 30, 2006. In Ireland, we benefit from an incentive tax rate effective through 2010 on income from manufacturing operations. In Singapore, we benefit from incentive tax rates effective through 2031 on income from manufacturing operations.
The U.S. research tax credit was effective through December 31, 2007. For a discussion about the repatriation of foreign earnings and the tax legislation impact, seeNote 8B. Taxes on Income: Taxes on Income. For a discussion about the resolution of certain tax positions, seeNote 8E. Taxes on Income: Tax Contingencies. The charges for acquired IPR&D in 2007, 2006 and 2005 are not deductible.
D. Deferred Taxes
Deferred taxes arise because of different timing treatment between financial statement accounting and tax accounting, known as “temporary differences.” We record the tax effect of these temporary differences as “deferred tax assets” (generally items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future periods) or “deferred tax liabilities” (generally items for which we received a tax deduction, but that have not yet been recorded in the consolidated statement of income).

| (a) | Reclassified as a result of the adoption of a new accounting standard. |
The reduction in the net deferred tax liability position in 2007 compared to 2006 is primarily due to amortization of deferred tax liabilities related to identifiable intangibles in connection with our acquisition of Pharmacia in 2003, partially offset by an increase in noncurrent deferred tax assets related to the impairment of Exubera. (SeeNote 4. Asset Impairment Charges and Other Costs Associated with Exiting Exubera.)
We have carryforwards primarily related to foreign tax credit carryovers and net operating losses, which are available to reduce future U.S. federal and state, as well as international, income with either an indefinite life or expiring at various times between 2008 and 2026. Certain of our U.S. net operating losses are subject to limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
Valuation allowances are provided when we believe that our deferred tax assets are not recoverable, based on an assessment of estimated future taxable income that incorporates ongoing, prudent, feasible tax planning strategies.

E. Tax Contingencies
We are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions and a certain degree of estimation is required in recording the assets and liabilities related to income taxes. For a description of our accounting policy associated with accounting for income tax contingencies, seeNote 1D. Significant Accounting Policies: New Accounting Standards. All of our tax positions are subject to audit by the local taxing authorities in each tax jurisdiction. Tax audits can involve complex issues and the resolution of issues may span multiple years, particularly if subject to negotiation or litigation.
The United States is one of our major tax jurisdictions and the IRS is currently conducting audits of the Pfizer Inc. tax returns for the years 2002, 2003 and 2004. The 2005, 2006 and 2007 tax years are also currently under audit as part of the IRS Compliance Assurance Process (CAP), a real-time audit process. All other tax years in the U.S. for Pfizer Inc. are closed under the statute of limitations. With respect to Pharmacia Corporation, the IRS is currently conducting an audit for the year 2003 through the date of merger with Pfizer (April 16, 2003). In addition to the open audit years in the U.S., we have open audit years in other major tax jurisdictions, such as Canada (1998-2006), Japan (2006), Europe (1996-2006, primarily reflecting Ireland, the U.K., France, Italy, Spain and Germany), and Puerto Rico (2003-2006).
2007 Financial Report | 51
|
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |
Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies |
|
We regularly reevaluate our tax positions based on the results of audits of federal, state and foreign income tax filings, statute of limitations expirations, and changes in tax law that would either increase or decrease the technical merits of a position relative to the more likely than not standard. We believe that our accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years. Many factors are considered in making these evaluations, including past history, recent interpretations of tax law, and the specifics of each matter. Because tax regulations are subject to interpretation and tax litigation is inherently uncertain, these evaluations can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions (seeNote 1B. Significant Accounting Policies: Estimates and Assumptions). Our evaluations are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. However, if our estimates and assumptions are not representative of actual outcomes, our results could be materially impacted.

Tax liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions represent unrecognized tax benefits, which arise when the estimated benefit recorded in our financial statements differs from the amounts taken or expected to be taken in a tax return because of the uncertainties described above. These unrecognized tax benefits relate primarily to issues common among multinational corporations. Substantially all of these unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact our effective income tax rate.
Tax assets associated with uncertain tax positions represent our estimate of the potential tax benefits in one tax jurisdiction that could result from the payment of income taxes in another tax jurisdiction. These potential benefits generally result from cooperative efforts among taxing authorities, as required by tax treaties to minimize double taxation, commonly referred to as the competent authority process. The recoverability of these assets, which we believe to be more likely than not, is dependent upon the actual payment of taxes in one tax jurisdiction and, in some cases, the successful petition for recovery in another tax jurisdiction.

If our estimates of unrecognized tax benefits and potential tax benefits are not representative of actual outcomes, our financial statements could be materially affected in the period of settlement or when the statutes of limitations expire, as we treat these events as discrete items in the period of resolution. Finalizing audits with the relevant taxing authorities can include formal administrative and legal proceedings and, as a result, it is difficult to estimate the timing and range of possible change related to our uncertain tax positions. However, any settlements or statute expirations would likely result in a significant decrease in our uncertain tax positions. We estimate that within the next 12 months, our gross uncertain tax positions could decrease by as much as $800 million, as a result of the settlement of issues common to multinational corporations or the expiration of the statute of limitations in multiple jurisdictions.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our investments in debt and equity securities to determine if a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary. When a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. The aggregate cost and related unrealized losses related to non-traded equity investments are not significant.
B. Short-Term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings include amounts for commercial paper of $4.4 billion as of December 31, 2007, and $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2006. The weighted-average effective interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding was 3.4% as of December 31, 2007, and 3.0% as of December 31, 2006.
As of December 31, 2007, we had access to $3.7 billion of lines of credit, of which $1.5 billion expire within one year. Of these lines of credit, $3.6 billion are unused, of which our lenders have committed to loan us $2.1 billion at our request. $2.0 billion of the unused lines of credit, which expire in 2012, may be used to support our commercial paper borrowings.

In March 2007, we filed a securities registration statement with the SEC. The registration statement was filed under the automatic shelf registration process available to well-known seasoned issuers and is effective for three years. We can issue securities of various types under that registration statement at any time, subject to approval by our Board of Directors in certain circumstances.
D. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
Foreign Exchange Risk—A significant portion of revenues, earnings and net investments in foreign affiliates is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. We seek to manage our foreign exchange risk in part through operational means, including managing expected same currency revenues in relation to same currency costs and same currency assets in relation to same currency liabilities. Depending on market conditions, foreign exchange risk is also managed through the use of derivative financial instruments and foreign currency debt. These financial instruments serve to protect net income and net investments against the impact of the translation into U.S. dollars of certain foreign exchange denominated transactions.
We entered into financial instruments to hedge or offset by the same currency an appropriate portion of the currency risk and the timing of the hedged or offset item. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the more significant financial instruments employed to manage foreign exchange risk follow:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

All derivative contracts used to manage foreign currency risk are measured at fair value and reported as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. Changes in fair value are reported in earnings or deferred, depending on the nature and effectiveness of the offset or hedging relationship, as follows:
|
|
• | We recognize the earnings impact of foreign currency swaps and foreign currency forward-exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges inOther (income)/deductions—netupon the recognition of the foreign exchange gain or loss on the translation to U.S. dollars of the hedged items. |
|
|
• | We recognize the earnings impact of foreign currency forward-exchange contracts that are used to offset foreign currency assets or liabilities inOther (income)/deductions—netduring the terms of the contracts, along with the earnings impact of the items they generally offset. |
|
|
• | We recognize the earnings impact of foreign currency swaps designated as a hedge of our net investments inOther (income)/deductions—netin three ways: over time-for the periodic net swap payments; immediately-to the extent of any |
|
|
| change in the difference between the foreign exchange spot rate and forward rate; and upon sale or substantial liquidation of our net investments-to the extent of change in the foreign exchange spot rates. |
Any ineffectiveness in a hedging relationship is recognized immediately into earnings. There was no significant ineffectiveness in 2007, 2006 or 2005.
Interest Rate Risk—Our interest-bearing investments, loans and borrowings are subject to interest rate risk. We invest, loan and borrow primarily on a short-term or variable-rate basis. From time to time, depending on market conditions, we will fix interest rates either through entering into fixed-rate investments and borrowings or through the use of derivative financial instruments.
We entered into derivative financial instruments to hedge or offset the fixed or variable interest rates on the hedged item, matching the amount and timing of the hedged item. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the more significant derivative financial instruments employed to manage interest rate risk follow:

|
|
• | We recognize the earnings impact of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges or offsets inOther (income)/deductions—netupon the recognition of the change in fair value for interest rate risk related to the hedged or offset items. |

Any ineffectiveness in a hedging relationship is recognized immediately in earnings. There was no significant ineffectiveness in 2007, 2006 or 2005.
E. Fair Value
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of derivative and other financial instruments as of the balance sheet date:
|
|
• | short-term financial instruments (cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, held-to-maturity debt securities and |
|
|
| debt)—we use cost or contract value because of the short maturity period. |
|
|
• | available-for-sale debt securities—we use a valuation model that uses observable market quotes and credit ratings of the securities. |
|
|
• | available-for-sale equity securities—we use observable market quotes. |
|
|
• | derivative contracts—we use valuation models that use observable market quotes and our view of the creditworthiness of the derivative counterparty. |
|
|
• | loans—we use cost because of the short interest-reset period. |
|
|
• | held-to-maturity long-term investments and long-term debt—we use valuation models that use observable market quotes. |
56 | 2007 Financial Report
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies
|
The differences between the estimated fair values and carrying values of our financial instruments were not significant as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.
F. Credit Risk
On an ongoing basis, we review the creditworthiness of counterparties to foreign exchange and interest rate agreements and do not expect to incur a loss from failure of any counterparties to perform under the agreements.
There are no significant concentrations of credit risk related to our financial instruments with any individual counterparty. As of December 31, 2007, we had $4.3 billion due from a broad group of banks around the world.
In general, there is no requirement for collateral from customers. However, derivative financial instruments are executed under master netting agreements with financial institutions. These agreements contain provisions that provide for the ability for collateral payments, depending on levels of exposure, our credit rating and the credit rating of the counterparty. As of December 31, 2007, we advanced cash collateral of $460 million and received cash collateral of $364 million against various counterparties. The collateral primarily supports the approximate fair value of our Swedish krona swap contracts. The collateral advanced receivables is reported inPrepaid expenses and taxes,and the collateral received obligation is reported inOther current liabilities.

Developed technology rights represent the amortized value associated with developed technology, which has been acquired from third parties and which can include the right to develop, use, market, sell and/or offer for sale the product, compounds and intellectual property that we have acquired with respect to products, compounds and/or processes that have been completed. We possess a well-diversified portfolio of hundreds of developed technology rights across therapeutic categories primarily representing the commercialized products included in our Pharmaceutical segment that we acquired in connection with our Pharmacia acquisition. While the Arthritis and Pain therapeutic category represents about 30% of the total amortized value of developed technology rights as of December 31, 2007, the balance of the amortized value is evenly distributed across the following Pharmaceutical therapeutic product categories: Ophthalmology; Oncology; Urology; Infectious and Respiratory Diseases; Endocrine Disorders categories; and, as a group, the Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases; Central Nervous System Disorders and All Other categories. The significant components include values determined for Celebrex, Detrol/Detrol LA, Xalatan, Genotropin, Zyvox and Campto/Camptosar. Also included in this category are the post-approval milestone payments made under our alliance agreements for certain Pharmaceutical products, such as Rebif and Spiriva. These rights are all subject to our review for impairment explained inNote 1K. Significant Accounting Policies: Amortization of Intangible Assets, Depreciation and Certain Long-Lived Assets.
The weighted-average life of our total finite-lived intangible assets is approximately seven years, which includes developed technology rights at eight years. Total amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets was $3.2 billion in 2007, $3.4 billion in 2006 and $3.5 billion in 2005.
Brands represent the amortized value associated with tradenames, as the products themselves no longer receive patent protection. Most of these assets are associated with our Pharmaceutical segment and the significant components include values determined for Depo-Provera, Xanax and Medrol.
In 2007, we recorded charges of $1.1 billion inCost of salesandSelling, informational and administrative expensesrelated to the impairment of Exubera (seeNote 4. Asset Impairment Charges and Other Costs Associated with Exiting Exubera). In 2006, we recorded charges of $320 million inOther (income)/deductions—netrelated to the impairment of our Depo-Provera brand, a contraceptive injection, (included in our Pharmaceutical segment). In 2005, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.1 billion inOther (income)/deductions—netrelated to the developed technology rights for Bextra, a selective COX-2 inhibitor (included in our Pharmaceutical segment), in connection with the decision to suspend sales of Bextra. In addition, in connection with the suspension, we recorded $5 million related to the write-off of machinery and equipment included inOther (income)/ deductions—net;$73 million in write-offs of inventory and exit costs, included inCost of sales; $8 million related to the costs of administering the
suspension of sales, included inSelling, informational and administrative expenses;and $212 million for an estimate of customer returns, primarily included againstRevenues.
The annual amortization expense expected for the years 2008 through 2012 is as follows:

14.Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Plans
We provide defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans for the majority of our employees worldwide. In the U.S., we have both qualified and supplemental (non-qualified) defined benefit plans. A qualified plan meets the requirements of certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code and, generally, contributions to qualified plans are tax deductible. A qualified plan typically provides benefits to a broad group of employees and may not discriminate in favor of highly compensated employees in its coverage, benefits or contributions. We also provide benefits through supplemental (non-qualified) retirement plans to certain employees. In addition, we provide medical and life insurance benefits to certain retirees and their eligible dependents through our postretirement plans.
We use a measurement date that coincides with our fiscal yearends; December 31 for our U.S. pension and postretirement plans and November 30 for our international plans. During 2006, pursuant to the divestiture of our Consumer Healthcare business, certain defined benefit obligations and related plan assets, if applicable, were transferred to the purchaser of that business.
A. Adoption of New Accounting Standard
As of December 31, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R),which requires us to recognize on our balance sheet the difference between our benefit obligations and any plan assets of our defined benefit plans. In addition, we are required to recognize as part of other comprehensive income/(expense), net of taxes, gains and losses due to differences between our actuarial assumptions and actual experience (actuarial gains and losses) and any effects on prior service due to plan amendments (prior service costs or credits) that arise during the period and which are not being recognized as net periodic benefit costs. Upon adoption, SFAS 158 requires the recognition of previously unrecognized actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits and net transition amounts withinAccumulated other comprehensive income (expense),net of tax. The incremental impact of applying SFAS 158 to our balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, was to reduce our total shareholders’ equity by $2.1 billion, primarily due to the recognition of previously unrecognized actuarial losses.

The decrease in the 2007 U.S. qualified pension plans’ net periodic benefit cost compared to 2006 was largely driven by a higher 2006 actual investment return, the increase in the discount rate and the impact of our cost-reduction initiatives.
The decrease in the 2007 international plans’ net periodic benefit cost compared to 2006 was largely driven by a settlement gain at our Japanese affiliate. Japanese pension regulations permit employers with certain pension obligations to separate the social security benefits portion of those obligations and transfer it,
along with related plan assets, to the Japanese government. During 2007, our Japanese affiliate completed this transfer and effectively received a subsidy from the Japanese government of approximately $168 million. This subsidy was the result of the transfer of pension obligations of approximately $309 million (excluding the effect of any future salary increases of approximately $9 million) along with related plan assets of approximately $141 million. This transfer resulted in a settlement gain of $106 million.

The assumptions above are used to develop the benefit obligations at fiscal year-end and to develop the net periodic benefit cost for the subsequent fiscal year. Therefore, the assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for each year are established at the end of each previous year, while the assumptions used to determine benefit obligations were established at each year-end.
The net periodic benefit cost and the benefit obligations are based on actuarial assumptions that are reviewed on an annual basis. We revise these assumptions based on an annual evaluation of long-term trends, as well as market conditions, that may have an impact on the cost of providing retirement benefits.
The expected rates of return on plan assets for our U.S. qualified, international and postretirement plans represent our long-term assessment of return expectations, which we will change based on significant shifts in economic and financial market conditions. The 2007 expected rates of return for these plans reflect our long-term outlook for a globally diversified portfolio, which is influenced by a combination of return expectations for individual asset classes, actual historical experience and our diversified investment strategy. The historical returns are one of the inputs used to provide context for the development of our expectations for future returns. Using this information, we develop ranges of returns for each asset class and a weighted-average expected return for our targeted portfolio, which includes the impact of portfolio diversification and active portfolio management.
The healthcare cost trend rate assumptions for our U.S. postretirement benefit plans are as follows:

| (a) | For the U.S. and international pension plans, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation. For the postretirement plans, the benefit obligation is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. |
|
|
|
| (b) | For 2006, includes curtailments and settlements associated with the transfer of benefit obligations as part of the sale of our Consumer Healthcare business |
The favorable change in our U.S. qualified plans projected benefit obligations funded status from $24 million overfunded in the aggregate as of December 31, 2006, to $533 million overfunded in the aggregate as of December 31, 2007, was largely driven by the 0.6 percentage-point increase in the discount rate and our voluntary contributions. In 2007, we made required U.S. qualified plan contributions of $6 million and voluntary tax-deductible contributions in excess of minimum requirements of $100 million to certain of our U.S. qualified pension plans. In 2006, we made required U.S. qualified plan contributions of $3 million and voluntary tax-deductible contributions in excess of minimum requirements of $450 million to certain of our U.S. qualified pension plans. In the aggregate, the U.S. qualified pension plans are overfunded on a projected benefit measurement basis and on an accumulated benefit obligation measurement basis as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. In 2006, we made voluntary tax-deductible contributions of $90 million to certain of our U.S. postretirement plans through the establishment of sections 401(h) accounts.
The U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) pension plans are not generally funded, as there are no tax or other incentives that exist, and these obligations, which are substantially greater than the annual cash outlay for these liabilities, are paid from cash generated from operations.
The favorable change in our international plans projected benefit obligations funded status from $2.3 billion underfunded in the aggregate as of December 31, 2006, to $1.3 billion underfunded in the aggregate as of December 31, 2007, was largely driven by the increase in the discount rate in the U.K. and other European plans. Outside the U.S., in general, we fund our defined benefit plans to the extent that tax or other incentives exist and we have accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets to reflect those plans that are not fully funded.
The favorable change in our postretirement plans projected benefit obligations funded status from $2.0 billion underfunded in the aggregate as of December 31, 2006, to $1.8 billion underfunded in the aggregate as of December 31, 2007, was largely driven by the 0.6 percentage-point increase in the discount rate and the impact of our cost-reduction initiatives.
The accumulated benefit obligations (ABO) for our U.S. qualified pension plans were $6.6 billion in 2007 and $6.8 billion in 2006. The ABO for our U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) pension plans was $849 million in 2007 and $883 million in 2006. The ABO for our international pension plans was $6.8 billion in 2007 and $7.1 billion in 2006.

The actuarial losses primarily represent the cumulative difference between the actuarial assumptions and actual return on plan assets, changes in discount rates and plan experience. These actuarial losses are recognized inAccumulated other comprehensive income/(expense)and are amortized into income over an average period of 11 years for our U.S. plans and an average period of 14 years for our international plans.

All long-term asset allocation targets reflect our asset class return expectations and tolerance for investment risk within the context of the respective plans’ long-term benefit obligations. The long-term asset allocation is supported by an analysis that incorporates historical and expected returns by asset class, as well as volatilities and correlations across asset classes and our liability profile. This analysis, referred to as an asset-liability analysis, also provides an estimate of expected returns on plan assets, as well as a forecast of potential future asset and liability balances. Due to market conditions and other factors, actual asset allocations may vary from the target allocation outlined above. For the U.S. qualified pension plans, in late 2007, we modified our strategic asset target allocation to reduce the volatility of our plan funded status and the probability of future contribution requirements. Our target allocations have been revised to increase the debt securities allocation by 10% and to reduce the global equity securities allocation by a corresponding amount. The year-end 2007 cash allocation of 4.1% for U.S. qualified pensions plans and 5.6% for international pension plans was above the target allocation, primarily due to cash raised from the termination of certain investment strategies, which will be redeployed during 2008. The assets are periodically rebalanced back to the target allocation.
The U.S. qualified pension plans held no shares of our common stock as of December 31, 2007, and approximately 10.2 million shares (fair value of approximately $263 million, representing 3.3% of U.S. plan assets) as of December 31, 2006. The plans received approximately $12 million in dividends on shares of our common stock in 2007 and approximately $10 million in dividends on these shares in 2006.
F. Cash Flows
It is our practice to fund amounts for our qualified pension plans that are at least sufficient to meet the minimum requirements set forth in applicable employee benefit laws and local tax laws.

The following table presents expected cash flow information: |

The table reflects the total U.S. and international plan benefits projected to be paid from the plans or from our general assets under the current actuarial assumptions used for the calculation of the benefit obligation and, therefore, actual benefit payments may differ from projected benefit payments.
G. Defined Contribution Plans
We have savings and investment plans in several countries, including the U.S., Japan, Spain and the Netherlands. For the U.S. plans, employees may contribute a portion of their salaries and bonuses to the plans, and we match, largely in company stock, a portion of the employee contributions. In the U.S., employees are permitted to diversify all or any portion of their company stock match contribution. The contribution match for certain legacy Pfizer U.S. participants is held in an employee stock ownership plan. We recorded charges related to our plans of $203 million in 2007, $222 million in 2006 and $234 million in 2005.

B. Preferred Stock
The Series A convertible perpetual preferred stock is held by an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“Preferred ESOP”) Trust and provides dividends at the rate of 6.25%, which are accumulated and paid quarterly. The per-share stated value is $40,300 and the preferred stock ranks senior to our common stock as to dividends and liquidation rights. Each share is convertible, at the holder’s option, into 2,574.87 shares of our common stock with equal voting rights. The conversion option is indexed to our common stock and requires share settlement, and therefore, is reported at the fair value at the date of issuance. We may redeem the preferred stock at any time or upon termination of the Preferred ESOP, at our option, in cash, in shares of common stock or a combination of both at a price of $40,300 per share.
C. Employee Stock Ownership Plans
We have two employee stock ownership plans (collectively the “ESOPs”), a Preferred ESOP and another that holds common stock of the company (“Common ESOP”). A portion of the matching contributions for legacy Pharmacia U.S. savings plan participants is funded through the ESOPs.
In January 2007, we paid the remaining balance of financing, which was outstanding prior to our acquisition of Pharmacia in 2003, relating to the Preferred ESOP. Compensation expense related to the ESOPs totaled approximately $35 million in 2007, $37 million in 2006 and $44 million in 2005.
Allocated shares held by the Common ESOP are considered outstanding for the earnings per share (EPS) calculations and the eventual conversion of allocated preferred shares held by the Preferred ESOP is assumed in the diluted EPS calculation. As of December 31, 2007, the Preferred ESOP held preferred shares with a stated value of approximately $93 million, convertible into approximately six million shares of our common stock. As of
December 31, 2007, the Common ESOP held approximately 6 million shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2007, all preferred and common shares held by the ESOPs have been allocated to the Pharmacia U.S. and certain Puerto Rico savings plan participants.
D. Employee Benefit Trust
The Pfizer Inc Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) was established in 1999 to fund our employee benefit plans through the use of its holdings of Pfizer Inc stock. The consolidated balance sheets reflect the fair value of the shares owned by the EBT as a reduction ofShareholders’ equity.
16.Share-Based Payments
Our compensation programs can include share-based payments. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, the primary share-based awards and their general terms and conditions are as follows:
|
|
• | Stock options, which entitle the holder to purchase, after the end of a vesting term, a specified number of shares of Pfizer common stock at a price per share set equal to the market price of Pfizer common stock on the date of grant. |
|
|
• | Restricted stock units (RSUs), which entitle the holder to receive, at the end of a vesting term, a specified number of shares of Pfizer common stock, including shares resulting from dividend equivalents paid on such RSUs. |
|
|
• | Performance share awards (PSAs) and performance-contingent share awards (PCSAs), which entitle the holder to receive, at the end of a vesting term, a number of shares of Pfizer common stock, within a range of shares from zero to a specified maximum, calculated using a non-discretionary formula that measures Pfizer’s performance relative to an industry peer group. Dividend equivalents are paid on PSAs. |
|
|
• | Restricted stock grants, which entitle the holder to receive, at the end of a vesting term, a specified number of shares of Pfizer common stock, and which also entitle the holder to receive dividends paid on such grants. |
The Company’s shareholders approved the Pfizer Inc. 2004 Stock Plan (the 2004 Plan) at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 22, 2004 and, effective upon that approval, new stock option and other share-based awards may be granted only under the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Plan allows a maximum of 3 million shares to be awarded to any employee per year and 475 million shares in total. RSUs, PSAs, PCSAs and restricted stock grants count as three shares, while stock options count as one share under the 2004 Plan toward the maximums.
In the past, we had various employee stock and incentive plans under which stock options and other share-based awards were granted. Stock options and other share-based awards that were granted under prior plans and were outstanding on April 22, 2004, continue in accordance with the terms of the respective plans.
As of December 31, 2007, 269 million shares were available for award, which include 40 million shares available for award under the legacy Pharmacia Long-Term Incentive Plan, which reflects award cancellations returned to the pool of available shares for legacy Pharmacia commitments.

| (a) | In 2006, we adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options. |
Amounts capitalized as part of inventory cost were not significant. In 2007 and 2006, the impact of modifications under our cost-reduction initiatives to share-based awards was not significant and, in 2005, the impact of modifications under the Pharmacia restructuring program was not significant. Generally, these modifications resulted in an acceleration of vesting, either in accordance with plan terms or at management’s discretion.
B. Stock Options
Stock options, which entitle the holder to purchase, at the end of a vesting term, a specified number of shares of Pfizer common stock at a price per share set equal to the market price of Pfizer common stock on the date of grant, are accounted for at fair value at the date of grant in the income statement beginning in 2006. These fair values are generally amortized on an even basis over the vesting term intoCost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expensesandResearch and development expenses,as appropriate.
In 2005 and earlier years, stock options were accounted for under APB No. 25, using the intrinsic value method in the income statement and fair value information was disclosed. In these disclosures of fair value, we allocated stock option compensation expense based on the nominal vesting period, rather than the expected time to achieve retirement eligibility. In 2006, we changed our method of allocating stock option compensation expense to a method based on the substantive vesting period for all new awards, while continuing to allocate outstanding nonvested awards not yet recognized as of December 31, 2005, under the nominal vesting period method. Specifically, under this prospective change in accounting policy, compensation expense related to stock options granted prior to 2006, that are subject to accelerated vesting upon retirement eligibility, is being recognized over the vesting term of the grant, even though the service period after retirement eligibility is not considered to be a substantive vesting requirement. The impact of this change was not significant.
All employees may receive stock option grants. In virtually all instances, stock options vest after three years of continuous
service from the grant date and have a contractual term of ten years; for certain grants to certain members of management, vesting typically occurs in equal annual installments after three, four and five years from the grant date. In all cases, even for stock options that are subject to accelerated vesting upon voluntary retirement, stock options must be held for at least one year from grant date before any vesting may occur. In the event of a divestiture or restructuring, options held by employees are immediately vested and are exercisable from three months to their remaining term, depending on various conditions.
The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the grant date using, for virtually all grants, the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, which incorporates a number of valuation assumptions noted in the following table, shown at their weighted-average values:

Starting in the first quarter of 2006, we changed our method of estimating expected stock price volatility to reflect market-based inputs under emerging stock option valuation considerations. We use the implied volatility in a long-term traded option, after consideration of historical volatility. In 2005, we used an average term structure of volatility after consideration of historical volatility.

C. Restricted Stock Units
RSUs, which entitle the holder to receive, at the end of a vesting term, a specified number of shares of Pfizer common stock,
including shares resulting from dividend equivalents paid on such RSUs, are accounted for at fair value at the date of grant. For RSUs granted in 2007, in virtually all instances, the units vest after three years of continuous service from the grant date and the fair values are amortized on an even basis over the vesting term intoCost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expensesandResearch and development expenses,as appropriate. For RSUs granted in 2006 and 2005, the units vest in substantially equal portions each year over five years of continuous service and the fair value related to each year’s portion is then amortized evenly intoCost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expensesandResearch and development expenses,as appropriate. For certain members of senior and key management, vesting may occur after three years of continuous service.
The fair value of each RSU grant is estimated on the grant date. For RSUs granted in 2007, the fair value is set using the closing price of Pfizer common stock on the date of grant. For RSUs granted in 2006 and 2005, the fair value is set using the average price of Pfizer common stock on the date of grant.

D. Performance Share Awards (PSAs) and Performance-Contingent Share Awards (PCSAs)
PSAs in 2007 and 2006, and PCSAs in 2005 and earlier, entitle the holder to receive, at the end of a vesting term, a number of shares of our common stock, within a specified range of shares, calculated using a non-discretionary formula that measures our performance relative to an industry peer group. PSAs are accounted for at fair value at the date of grant in the income statement beginning with grants in 2006. Further, PSAs are generally amortized on an even basis over the vesting term intoCost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expensesandResearch and development expenses,as appropriate. For grants in 2005 and earlier years, PCSA grants are accounted for using the intrinsic value method in the income statement. Senior and other key members of management may receive PSA and PCSA grants. In most instances, PSA grants vest after three years and PCSA grants vest after five years of continuous service from the grant date. In certain instances, PCSA grants vest over two to four years of continuous service from the grant date. The vesting terms are equal to the contractual terms.
The 2004 Plan limitations on the maximum amount of share-based awards apply to all awards, including PCSA and PSA grants. In 2001, our shareholders approved the 2001 Performance-Contingent Share Award Plan (the 2001 Plan), allowing a maximum of 12.5 million shares to be awarded to all participants. This maximum was applied to awards for performance periods beginning after January 1, 2002 through 2004. The 2004 Plan is the only plan under which share-based awards may be granted in the future.
PSA grants made in 2007 and 2006 will vest and be paid based on a non-discretionary formula that measures our performance using relative total shareholder return over a performance period relative to an industry peer group. If our minimum performance in the measure is below the threshold level relative to the peer group, then no shares will be paid. PCSA grants made prior to 2006 will vest and be paid based on a non-discretionary formula, which measures our performance using relative total shareholder return and relative change in diluted EPS over a performance period relative to an industry peer group. If our minimum performance in the measures is below the threshold level relative to the peer group, then no shares will be paid.
As of January 1, 2006, we measure PSA grants at fair value, using a Monte Carlo simulation model, times the target number of shares. The target number of shares is determined by reference to the fair value of share-based awards to similar employees in the industry peer group. We measure PCSA grants at intrinsic value whereby the probable award was allocated over the term of the award, then the resultant shares are adjusted to the fair value of our common stock at each accounting period until the date of payment.
The following table summarizes all PSA and PCSA activity during 2007, 2006 and 2005, with the shares granted representing the maximum award that could be achieved:

We entered into forward-purchase contracts that partially offset the potential impact on net income of our obligation under the pre-2006 PCSAs. At settlement date, we would, at the option of the counterparty to each of the contracts, either receive our own stock or settle the contracts for cash.

E. Restricted Stock
Restricted stock grants, which entitle the holder to receive, at the end of a vesting term, a specified number of shares of our common stock, and which also entitle the holder to receive dividends paid on such grants, are accounted for at fair value at the date of grant.
Senior and key members of management received restricted stock awards prior to 2005. In most instances, restricted stock grants vest after three years of continuous service from the grant date. The vesting terms are equal to the contractual terms. These awards have not been significant.
F. Transition Information
The following table shows the effect on results for 2005 as if we had applied the fair-value-based recognition provisions to measure stock-based compensation expense for the option grants:

18. Lease Commitments
We lease properties and equipment for use in our operations. In addition to rent, the leases may require us to pay directly for taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating expenses, or to pay higher rent when operating expenses increase. Rental expense, net of sublease income, was $398 million in 2007, $420 million in 2006 and $410 million in 2005. This table shows future minimum rental commitments under noncancellable operating leases as of December 31 for the following years:

19. Insurance
Our insurance coverage reflects market conditions (including cost and availability) existing at the time it is written, and our decision to obtain insurance coverage or to self-insure varies accordingly. Depending upon the cost and availability of insurance and the nature of the risk involved, the amount of self-insurance may be significant. The cost and availability of coverage have resulted in our decision to self-insure certain exposures, including product liability. If we incur substantial liabilities that are not covered by insurance or substantially exceed insurance coverage and that are in excess of existing accruals, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any particular period (see Note 20.Legal Proceedings and Contingencies).
20. Legal Proceedings and Contingencies
We and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in various patent, product liability, consumer, commercial, securities, environmental and tax litigations and claims; government investigations; and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe any of them will have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
Beginning in 2007 upon the adoption of a new accounting standard, we record accruals for income tax contingencies to the extent that we conclude that a tax position is not sustainable under a ‘more likely than not’ standard and we record our estimate of the potential tax benefits in one tax jurisdiction that could result from the payment of income taxes in another tax jurisdiction when we conclude that the potential recovery is more likely than not. (SeeNote 1D. Significant Accounting Policies: New Accounting StandardsandNote 8E. Taxes on Income: Tax Contingencies.) We record accruals for all other contingencies to the extent that we conclude their occurrence is probable and the related damages are estimable, and we record anticipated recoveries under existing insurance contracts when assured of recovery. If a range of liability is probable and estimable and some amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we accrue that amount. If a range of liability is probable and estimable and no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we accrue the minimum of such probable range. Many claims involve highly complex issues relating to causation, label warnings, scientific evidence, actual damages and other matters. Often these issues are subject to substantial
uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of loss and an estimation of damages are difficult to ascertain. Consequently, we cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential exposure or the range of possible loss in excess of amounts accrued for these contingencies. These assessments can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions (seeNote 1B. Significant Accounting Policies: Estimates and Assumptions). Our assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and excessive verdicts do occur. Although we believe we have substantial defenses in these matters, we could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any particular period.
Patent claims include challenges to the coverage and/or validity of our patents on various products or processes. Although we believe we have substantial defenses to these challenges with respect to all our material patents, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of these matters, and a loss in any of these cases could result in a loss of patent protection for the drug at issue, which could lead to a significant loss of sales of that drug and could materially affect future results of operations.
Among the principal matters pending to which we are a party are the following:
A. Patent Matters
We are involved in a number of suits relating to our U.S. patents, the majority of which involve claims by generic drug manufacturers that patents covering our products, processes or dosage forms are invalid and/or do not cover the product of the generic manufacturer. Pending suits include generic challenges to patents covering, among other products, atorvastatin (Lipitor), atorvastatin/amlodipine combination (Caduet), celecoxib (Celebrex), tolterodine (Detrol and Detrol LA) and donepezil hydrochloride (Aricept). Also, counterclaims as well as various independent actions have been filed claiming that our assertions of, or attempts to enforce, our patent rights with respect to certain products constitute unfair competition and/or violations of the antitrust laws. In addition to the challenges to the U.S. patents on a number of our products that are discussed below, we note that the patent rights to certain of our products, including without limitation Lipitor and Celebrex, are being challenged in various other countries.
Lipitor (atorvastatin)
U.S. – basic patent: In July 2007, a law firm that has represented Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Ranbaxy) in Lipitor patent litigation filed a request for a reexamination of our basic Lipitor patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the Patent Office). The basic patent, including the six-month pediatric exclusivity period, expires in March 2010. In August 2007, the Patent Office granted the request to reexamine the basic patent on the merits. In January 2008, the Patent Office issued its initial official action, rejecting the patent’s claims. We will address the issues raised by the examiner in our response to the Patent Office. An initial rejection of a patent is not unusual in reexamination proceedings, and we continue to believe that the basic patent was properly

|
granted and will be upheld on reexamination. This process could take a few years to complete.
U.S. – enantiomer patent: In January 2007, we filed a reissue application with the Patent Office seeking to correct a technical defect in our patent covering the enantiomer form of atorvastatin. The enantiomer patent, including the six-month pediatric exclusivity period, expires in June 2011. In August 2007, the Patent Office issued its initial official action, which determined that the technical defect had been corrected but rejected the enantiomer patent on other grounds. In October 2007, we submitted our response to the Patent Office. We continue to believe that we have strong arguments for securing the reissued patent. This process also could take a few years to complete.
Separately, in April 2007, Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Teva) notified us that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Lipitor. Teva asserts the invalidity of our enantiomer patent and the non-infringement of certain later-expiring patents, but does not challenge our basic patent. In June 2007, we filed suit against Teva in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the validity and infringement of the enantiomer patent.
In addition, in October 2007, Cobalt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Cobalt) notified us that it had filed an application with the FDA seeking approval to market a product containing atorvastatin sodium, a salt that is different from atorvastatin calcium, which is used in Lipitor. The notice states that Cobalt is challenging our enantiomer patent and certain later-expiring patents, but not our basic patent. In December 2007, we filed suit against Cobalt in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the validity and infringement of the enantiomer patent.
Canada – enantiomer patent: In January 2007, the Canadian Federal Court in Toronto denied our application to prevent approval of Ranbaxy’s generic atorvastatin product based on our enantiomer patent, which expires in July 2010. In February 2007, we appealed that decision to the Federal Court of Appeal of Canada. The appeal was heard in May 2007, and we are awaiting the decision. We also are seeking to prevent approval of Apotex Inc.’s (Apotex’s) generic atorvastatin product based on our enantiomer patent. A trial was held on this matter in October 2007 in the Canadian Federal Court in Toronto and, on January 2, 2008, the court denied our application. On January 3, 2008, we appealed the decision to the Federal Court of Appeal of Canada.
Canada – certain other patents: In September 2007, in a case against Ranbaxy, the Canadian Federal Court in Toronto issued a decision concerning two other patents. First, the court ruled that our patent covering a crystalline form of atorvastatin would be infringed by Ranbaxy’s process for making its proposed generic atorvastatin product. The court granted our application for an order preventing Ranbaxy from launching its product until the expiration of the patent in July 2016. In October 2007, Ranbaxy appealed this decision to the Federal Court of Appeal of Canada. This decision does not apply to any other generic manufacturer, including Apotex, which is challenging the same patent and other crystalline patents in another proceeding. Second, the Canadian Federal Court in Toronto denied our application for a prohibition order against Ranbaxy in connection with another
patent covering a process for making amorphous atorvastatin, which also expires in July 2016.
Caduet (atorvastatin/amlodipine combination)
In January 2007, Ranbaxy notified us that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Caduet and asserting the invalidity of our patents relating to atorvastatin and of our patent covering the atorvastatin/amlodipine combination, which expires in 2018. In March 2007, we filed suit against Ranbaxy in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the validity and/or infringement of the subject patents. In November 2007, the court granted our motion to dismiss Ranbaxy’s challenge to the validity of the atorvastatin (Lipitor) basic patent. The case continues with respect to our assertion of infringement of the patent covering the atorvastatin/amlodipine combination and, at such time as the atorvastatin enantiomer patent is reissued in corrected form, Ranbaxy’s challenge regarding the validity of one claim of that patent.
Norvasc (amlodipine)
In 2006, the Federal Court of Appeal of Canada upheld the validity of our Norvasc patent in Canada in an action involving the generic manufacturer Ratiopharm. The Supreme Court of Canada denied Ratiopharm’s petition to appeal this decision. We also have filed legal challenges against certain other generic manufacturers who are seeking to market their own amlodipine products in Canada. In February 2008, a trial was held in the Federal Court of Canada in Toronto in our challenge against Cobalt, and we are awaiting the decision. Our Norvasc patent in Canada expires in August 2010.
Celebrex (celecoxib)
In January 2004, Teva notified us that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a product containing celecoxib and asserting the non-infringement and invalidity of our patents relating to celecoxib. In February 2004, we filed suit against Teva in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting infringement of our patents relating to celecoxib. In March 2007, the court held that all three of the patents in dispute are valid and infringed and, in April 2007, it issued an injunction prohibiting Teva from marketing its generic celecoxib product before 2015. In April 2007, Teva appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The appeal was heard in January 2008, and we are awaiting the decision.
Neurontin (gabapentin)
In August 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey held that the generic gabapentin (Neurontin) products of a number of generic manufacturers did not infringe our gabapentin low-lactam patent, which expires in 2017, and it granted summary judgment in their favor. Several generic manufacturers launched their gabapentin products in 2004 and 2005. In September 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the District Court’s summary judgment decision and remanded the case to the District Court for trial on the patent-infringement issue. If successful at trial, we intend to seek compensation from the generic manufacturers for damages resulting from their at-risk launches of generic gabapentin.
Detrol (tolterodine)
In March 2004, we brought a patent infringement suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against Teva, which had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Detrol. In January 2007, Teva withdrew its challenge to our patent, and the patent infringement suit was dismissed. At about the same time in January 2007, Ivax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Ivax), a wholly owned subsidiary of Teva, amended its previously filed abbreviated new drug application for tolterodine to challenge our tolterodine patent, and we brought a patent infringement action against Ivax in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.

Detrol LA (tolterodine)
In October 2007, Teva notified us that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA challenging on various grounds four patents relating to Detrol LA, an extended-release formulation of Detrol (tolterodine), and seeking approval to market a generic version of Detrol LA. In December 2007, we filed suit against Teva in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting the infringement of three of the patents relating to Detrol LA. In January 2008, Impax Laboratories Inc. notified us that it had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Detrol LA and challenging the same four patents as Teva.
Aricept (donepezil hydrochloride)
In October 2005, Teva notified Eisai Co., Ltd. (Eisai) that Teva had filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA challenging on various grounds Eisai’s U.S. basic product patent for Aricept and seeking approval to market a generic version of Aricept. In December 2005, Eisai filed suit against Teva in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting infringement of that patent. We co-promote Aricept with Eisai in the U.S.
Exubera
In August 2006, Novo Nordisk filed an action against us in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that our sales of Exubera infringed Novo Nordisk’s patents relating to inhaled insulin and methods of administration of inhaled insulin and seeking damages and injunctive relief. The parties settled this action in December 2007.
B. Product Litigation
Like other pharmaceutical companies, we are defendants in numerous product liability cases, including but not limited to those discussed below, in which the plaintiffs seek relief for personal injuries and other purported damages allegedly caused by our drugs and other products.
Rezulin
Rezulin was a medication that treated insulin resistance and was effective for many patients whose diabetes had not been controlled with other medications. Rezulin was voluntarily withdrawn by Warner-Lambert in March 2000 following approval of two newer medications, which the FDA considered to have similar efficacy and fewer side effects.
In 2003, we took a charge to earnings of $975 million before-tax ($955 million after-tax) in connection with all known personal injury cases and claims relating to Rezulin, and we settled many of those cases and claims. Warner-Lambert continues to defend vigorously the remaining personal injury cases and claims.
Warner-Lambert is also a defendant in a number of suits, including purported class actions, relating to Rezulin that seek relief other than damages for alleged personal injury. These suits are not covered by the charge to earnings that we took in 2003. Motions to certify statewide classes of Rezulin users or purchasers who allegedly incurred economic loss have been denied by state courts in California and Texas and granted by state courts in Illinois and West Virginia. The Illinois action was settled in 2004, as previously reported. The West Virginia action was settled in December 2007 on terms favorable to the Company.
In 2005, the following actions were consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a Multi-District Litigation(In Re Rezulin Product Liability Litigation MDL-1348)in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York:
|
|
• | In April 2001, Louisiana Health Service Indemnity Company and Eastern States Health and Welfare Fund filed a consolidated complaint against Warner-Lambert in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York purportedly on behalf of a class consisting of all health benefit providers that paid for or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Rezulin between February 1997 and April 2001. The action sought to recover amounts paid for Rezulin by the health benefit providers on behalf of their plan participants during the specified period. In September 2005, the court granted Warner-Lambert’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed the complaint. In November 2005, the plaintiffs appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and a hearing on the appeal was held in December 2006. In September 2007, the parties voluntarily withdrew the appeal and settled the action on terms favorable to Warner-Lambert. |
|
|
• | In May 2005, an action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana purportedly on behalf of a nationwide class of third-party payors that asserts claims and seeks damages that are substantially similar to those that had been sought in the Louisiana Health Service Indemnity suit discussed immediately above. This action has been transferred to the Multi-District Litigation. |
|
|
• | An action was filed in July 2005 by the Attorney General of the State of Louisiana in the Civil District Court for Orleans Parish, Louisiana, against Warner-Lambert and Pfizer seeking to recover amounts paid by the Louisiana Medicaid program for Rezulin and for medical services to treat persons allegedly injured by Rezulin. This action was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and thereafter transferred to the Multi-District Litigation. The court granted our motion for summary judgment and dismissed the complaint in November 2007, and the Louisiana Attorney General appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in December 2007. |
A number of insurance carriers provided coverage for Rezulin claims against Warner-Lambert. We now have entered into settlements with all of the carriers, resulting in recoveries to us of $397 million.
Asbestos
|
|
• | Quigley |
Quigley Company, Inc. (Quigley), a wholly owned subsidiary, was acquired by Pfizer in 1968 and sold small amounts of products containing asbestos until the early 1970s. In September 2004, Pfizer and Quigley took steps that were intended to resolve all pending and future claims against Pfizer and Quigley in which the claimants allege personal injury from exposure to Quigley products containing asbestos, silica or mixed dust. We took a charge of $369 million before-tax ($229 million after-tax) to third quarter 2004 earnings in connection with these matters.
2007 Financial Report | 71
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In September 2004, Quigley filed a petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In March 2005, Quigley filed a reorganization plan in the Bankruptcy Court that needed the approval of both the Bankruptcy Court and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York after receipt of the vote of 75% of the claimants. In connection with that filing, Pfizer entered into settlement agreements with lawyers representing more than 80% of the individuals with claims related to Quigley products against Quigley and Pfizer. The agreements provide for a total of $430 million in payments, of which $215 million became due in December 2005 and is being paid to claimants upon receipt by the Company of certain required documentation from each of the claimants. The reorganization plan provided for the establishment of a Trust (the Trust) for the payment of all remaining pending claims as well as any future claims alleging injury from exposure to Quigley products.
As certified by the balloting agent in May 2006, more than 75% of Quigley’s claimants holding claims that represented more than two-thirds in value of claims against Quigley voted to accept Quigley’s plan of reorganization. In August 2006, in reviewing the voting tabulation methodology, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that certain votes that accepted the plan were not predicated upon the actual value of the claim. As a result, the reorganization plan was not accepted.
In June 2007, Quigley filed an amended plan of reorganization to address the Bankruptcy Court’s concerns regarding the voting tabulation methodology. In July 2007, the Bankruptcy Court held a hearing to consider the adequacy of Quigley’s disclosure statement. In October 2007, the Bankruptcy Court granted Quigley’s application to approve its disclosure statement. On February 26, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court authorized Quigley to solicit its amended reorganization plan for acceptance by claimants. If approved by the claimants and the courts, the amended reorganization plan will result in a permanent injunction directing all pending and future claims alleging personal injury from exposure to Quigley products to the Trust.
Under the amended reorganization plan (as under the original reorganization plan), Pfizer will contribute $405 million to the Trust through a note, which has a present value of $172 million, as well as approximately $100 million in insurance, and will forgive a $30 million secured loan to Quigley. In addition, Pfizer entered into an agreement with the representative of future claimants that provides for the contribution to the Trust of an additional amount with a present value of $88.4 million.
In December 2007, the Bankruptcy Court modified its 2004 preliminary injunction order as it relates to Pfizer. As a result, while asbestos claims against Pfizer that are based on alleged exposure to a Quigley product remain stayed, asbestos claims that are not based on alleged exposure to a Quigley product are no longer stayed.
In a separately negotiated transaction with an insurance company in August 2004, we agreed to a settlement related to certain insurance coverage which provides for payments to us over a ten-year period of amounts totaling $405 million.

Between 1967 and 1982, Warner-Lambert owned American Optical Corporation, which manufactured and sold respiratory protective devices and asbestos safety clothing. In connection with the sale of American Optical in 1982, Warner-Lambert agreed to indemnify the purchaser for certain liabilities, including certain asbestos-related and other claims. As of December 31, 2007, approximately 106,000 claims naming American Optical and numerous other defendants were pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged personal injury from exposure to asbestos and other allegedly hazardous materials. We are actively engaged in the defense of, and will continue to explore various means to resolve, these claims. Several of the insurance carriers that provided coverage for the American Optical asbestos and other allegedly hazardous materials claims have denied coverage. We believe that these carriers’ position is without merit and are pursuing legal proceedings against such carriers. Separately, there is a small number of lawsuits pending against Pfizer in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged personal injury from exposure to products containing asbestos and other allegedly hazardous materials sold by Gibsonburg Lime Products Company, which was acquired by Pfizer in the 1960s and which sold small amounts of products containing asbestos until the early 1970s. There also is a small number of lawsuits pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged exposure to asbestos in facilities owned or formerly owned by Pfizer or its subsidiaries.
Celebrex and Bextra
In 2003, several purported class action complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against Pharmacia, Pfizer and certain former officers of Pharmacia. The complaints allege that the defendants violated federal securities laws by misrepresenting the data from a study concerning the gastrointestinal effects of Celebrex. These cases were consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in the District of New Jersey (Alaska Electrical Pension Fund et al. v. Pharmacia Corporation et al.). In January 2007, the court certified a class consisting of all persons who purchased Pharmacia securities from April 17, 2000 through February 6, 2001 and were damaged as a result of the decline in the price of Pharmacia’s securities allegedly attributable to the misrepresentations. Plaintiffs seek damages in an unspecified amount. In October 2007, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment and dismissed the plaintiffs’ claims in their entirety. In November 2007, the plaintiffs appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
Pfizer is a defendant in product liability suits, including purported class actions, in various U.S. federal and state courts and in certain other countries alleging personal injury as a result of the use of Celebrex and/or Bextra. These suits include a purported class action filed in 2001 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York as well as actions that have been filed since late 2004. In addition, beginning in late 2004, purported class actions have been filed against Pfizer in various U.S. federal and state courts and

in certain other countries alleging consumer fraud as the result of alleged false advertising of Celebrex and Bextra and the withholding of information from the public regarding the alleged safety risks associated with Celebrex and Bextra. The plaintiffs in these consumer fraud actions seek damages in unspecified amounts for economic loss. In September 2005, the U.S. federal product liability and consumer fraud actions were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation (In re Celebrex and Bextra Marketing, Sales Practices and Product Liability Litigation MDL-1699) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The majority of the cases involving Celebrex are pending in the Multi-District Litigation and in coordinated proceedings in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. In late 2007 and early 2008, the courts in both of those actions ruled that plaintiffs failed to present reliable scientific evidence necessary to prove that Celebrex can cause heart attacks and strokes at the 200 mg daily dose, which is the most commonly prescribed dose. These rulings render inadmissible certain opinions of plaintiffs’ experts, which we believe could result in the dismissal of many of the Celebrex cases.
In July 2005, an action was filed by the Attorney General of the State of Louisiana in the Civil District Court for Orleans Parish, Louisiana, against Pfizer seeking to recover amounts paid by the Louisiana Medicaid program for Celebrex and Bextra and for medical services to treat persons allegedly injured by Celebrex or Bextra. The action also seeks injunctive relief to prevent the sale of Celebrex and any resumption of the sale of Bextra in Louisiana. This action was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and thereafter transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to the same Multi-District Litigation referred to in the preceding paragraph.
Beginning in late 2004, actions, including purported class and shareholder derivative actions, have been filed in various federal and state courts against Pfizer, Pharmacia and certain current and former officers, directors and employees of Pfizer and Pharmacia. These actions include: (i) purported class actions alleging that Pfizer and certain current and former officers of Pfizer violated federal securities laws by misrepresenting the safety of Celebrex and Bextra; (ii) purported shareholder derivative actions alleging that certain of Pfizer’s current and former officers and directors breached fiduciary duties by causing Pfizer to misrepresent the safety of Celebrex and, in certain of the cases, Bextra; and (iii) purported class actions filed by persons who claim to be participants in the Pfizer or Pharmacia Savings Plan alleging that Pfizer and certain current and former officers, directors and employees of Pfizer or, where applicable, Pharmacia and certain former officers, directors and employees of Pharmacia, violated certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) by selecting and maintaining Pfizer stock as an investment alternative when it allegedly no longer was a suitable or prudent investment option. In June 2005, the federal securities, fiduciary duty and ERISA actions were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation (In re Pfizer Inc. Securities, Derivative and “ERISA” Litigation MDL-1688) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
In July 2007, the purported federal shareholder derivative action alleging breach of fiduciary duty was dismissed by the court in the
Multi-District Litigation. In August 2007, the plaintiffs appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Trovan
In May 2007, the Attorney General of the Federation of Nigeria filed civil and criminal actions in the Federal High Court in Abuja against Pfizer, one of our Nigerian subsidiaries, and several current and former U.S. and Nigerian employees, including a current Pfizer director. Also in May 2007, the Attorney General of the State of Kano, Nigeria, filed substantially similar civil and criminal actions in the High Court of Kano State against substantially the same group of defendants. The federal civil action was voluntarily withdrawn by the federal authorities in July 2007, and a new federal civil complaint seeking substantially similar damages against substantially the same group of defendants was filed shortly thereafter.
All of these actions arise out of a 1996 pediatric clinical study of Trovan, an antibiotic then in late-stage development, that was conducted during a severe meningitis epidemic in Kano. The actions allege, among other things, that the study was conducted without proper government authorization and without the informed consent of the parents or guardians of the study participants and resulted in injury or death to a number of study participants. In the civil actions, the federal government is seeking more than $6 billion in damages and the Kano state government is seeking $2.075 billion in damages for, among other things, the costs incurred to provide treatment, compensation and support for the alleged victims and their families; the costs of unrelated health initiatives that failed, allegedly due to societal misgivings attributable to the Trovan study; and general damages. We believe that we have strong defenses in these actions.
The 1996 Trovan clinical study has also been the subject of two civil lawsuits filed against Pfizer in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of the study participants. The District Court dismissed both cases in 2005, and those decisions are on appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Hormone-Replacement Therapy
Pfizer and certain wholly owned subsidiaries and limited liability companies, along with several other pharmaceutical manufacturers, have been named as defendants in a number of lawsuits in various federal and state courts alleging personal injury resulting from the use of certain estrogen and progestin medications prescribed for women to treat the symptoms of menopause. Plaintiffs in these suits allege a variety of personal injuries, including breast cancer, stroke and heart disease. Certain co-defendants in some of these actions have asserted indemnification rights against Pfizer and its affiliated companies. The cases against Pfizer and its affiliated companies involve the products femhrt (which Pfizer divested in 2003), Activella and Vagifem (which are Novo Nordisk products that were marketed by a Pfizer affiliate from 2000 to 2004), and Provera, Ogen, Depo-Estradiol, Estring and generic MPA, all of which remain approved by the FDA for use in the treatment of menopause. The federal cases have been transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation (In re Prempro Products Liability Litigation MDL-1507) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

This litigation originally included both individual actions as well as various purported nationwide and statewide class actions. However, as a result of the voluntary dismissal of certain purported class actions and the withdrawal of the class action allegations by the plaintiffs in certain other actions, this litigation now consists of individual actions and a few purported statewide class actions.
Viagra
A number of lawsuits, including purported class actions, have been filed against us in various federal and state courts alleging that Viagra causes certain types of visual injuries. The plaintiffs in the purported class actions seek to represent nationwide and certain statewide classes of Viagra users. All of the actions seek damages for personal injury, and the purported class actions also seek medical monitoring. In January 2006, the federal cases were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation (In re Viagra Products Liability Litigation MDL-1724) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.
Zoloft
A number of individual lawsuits have been filed against us in various federal and state courts alleging personal injury as a result of the purported ingesting of Zoloft.
Mirapex
A number of individual lawsuits seeking damages have been filed against Pfizer and Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (BIPI) in various U.S. federal and state courts and one purported class action has been filed in Canada alleging that Mirapex, a treatment for Parkinson’s disease, causes certain impulse-control disorders. We co-promoted Mirapex with BIPI until May 2005 but, as a result of the sale of our interests in this product to BIPI, we no longer manufacture or sell Mirapex. In June 2007, all of the U.S. federal cases were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation (In re Mirapex Products Liability Litigation MDL-1836) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.
Neurontin
A number of lawsuits, including purported class actions, have been filed against us in various federal and state courts alleging claims arising from the promotion and sale of Neurontin. The plaintiffs in the purported class actions seek to represent nationwide and certain statewide classes consisting of persons, including individuals, health insurers, employee benefit plans and other third-party payors, who purchased or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Neurontin that allegedly was used for indications other than those included in the product labeling approved by the FDA. In October 2004, many of the suits pending in federal courts, including individual actions as well as purported class actions, were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation (In re Neurontin Marketing, Sales Practices and Product Liability Litigation MDL-1629) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Purported class actions also have been filed against us in various Canadian provincial courts alleging claims arising from the promotion and sale of Neurontin.
In the Multi-District Litigation, in August 2007, the court denied without prejudice plaintiffs’ motion to certify a nationwide class of all consumers and third-party payors who allegedly purchased or reimbursed patients for the purchase of Neurontin for “off-label” uses from 1994 through 2004. The court indicated that it
In June 2007, a Pennsylvania state court certified a class of all individuals in Pennsylvania who allegedly purchased Neurontin for “off-label” uses from 1995 to the present. The plaintiffs seek a refund of amounts paid by class members for Neurontin. Plaintiffs also are seeking certification of a statewide class of Neurontin purchasers in an action pending in Kansas state court. State courts in New York and New Mexico have declined to certify statewide classes of Neurontin purchasers.
A number of individual lawsuits have been filed against us in various U.S. federal and state courts and in certain other countries alleging personal injury, suicide and attempted suicide as a result of the purported ingesting of Neurontin. Certain of the U.S. federal actions have been transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to the same Multi-District Litigation referred to in the first paragraph of this section.
Lipitor
Beginning in September 2005, three purported nationwide class actions were filed against us in various federal courts alleging claims relating to the promotion of Lipitor. In January 2006, two of the actions were voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. In the remaining action, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the plaintiffs alleged that the Company engaged in false and misleading advertising in violation of state consumer protection laws by allegedly promoting Lipitor for the prevention of heart disease in women (regardless of age) and men over age 55 who in each case had no history of heart disease or diabetes. The action sought monetary and injunctive relief, including treble damages. Effective January 9, 2008, this action was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice without any payment by the Company. In addition, in 2005, a purported class action on behalf of residents of the Province of Quebec was filed against us in Canada that asserts claims under Canadian law and seeks relief substantially similar to the claims that had been asserted and the relief that had been sought in the U.S. action.
In March and April 2006, six purported class actions were filed against us in various federal courts alleging claims relating to the promotion of Lipitor. In May 2006, five of the actions were voluntarily dismissed without prejudice, and the plaintiffs in those actions were added as plaintiffs in the remaining action. The complaint in the remaining action, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, alleges that, through patient and medical education programs and other actions, the Company promoted Lipitor for use by certain patients contrary to national cholesterol guidelines that plaintiffs claim are a part of the labeled indications for the product. The plaintiffs seek to represent nationwide and certain statewide classes consisting of health and welfare funds and other third-party payors that purchased Lipitor for such patients or reimbursed such patients for the purchase of Lipitor since January 1, 2002. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, fraud, unjust enrichment and a violation of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) and certain state consumer fraud statutes and seek monetary and injunctive relief, including treble damages. In September 2007, plaintiffs filed an amended

complaint adding allegations that, primarily as the result of the Company’s purported failure to fully disclose the risks of alleged side-effects of Lipitor, the prices that plaintiffs paid for Lipitor were higher than they otherwise would have been.
In 2004, a former employee filed a “whistleblower” action against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The complaint remained under seal until September 2007, at which time the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York declined to intervene in the case. We were served with the complaint on December 19, 2007. Plaintiff alleges that, through patient and medical education programs, written materials and other actions aimed at doctors, consumers, payors and investors, the Company promoted Lipitor for use by certain patients contrary to national cholesterol guidelines that plaintiff claims are a part of the labeled indications for the product. Plaintiff alleges violations of the Federal Civil False Claims Act and the false claims acts of certain states and seeks treble damages and civil penalties on behalf of the U.S. Government and the specified states as the result their purchase, or reimbursement of patients for the purchase, of Lipitor allegedly for such “off-label” uses. Plaintiff also seeks compensation as a whistleblower under those federal and state statutes. In addition, plaintiff alleges that he was wrongfully terminated, in violation of the anti-retaliation provisions of the Federal Civil False Claims Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and applicable New York law, for raising concerns about the alleged “off-label” promotion of Lipitor and about alleged instances of sexual harassment in the workplace, and he seeks damages and the reinstatement of his employment.
C. Commercial and Other Matters
Average Wholesale Price Litigation
A number of states as well as most counties in New York have sued Pharmacia, Pfizer and other pharmaceutical manufacturers alleging that they provided average wholesale price (AWP) information for certain of their products that was higher than the actual prices at which those products were sold. The AWP is used to determine reimbursement levels under Medicare Part B and Medicaid and in many private-sector insurance policies and medical plans. The plaintiffs claim that the alleged spread between the AWPs at which purchasers were reimbursed and the actual prices was promoted by the defendants as an incentive to purchase certain of their products. In addition to suing on their own behalf, many of the plaintiff states seek to recover on behalf of individual Medicare Part B co-payors and private-sector insurance companies and medical plans in their states. These various actions generally assert fraud claims as well as claims under state deceptive trade practice laws, and seek monetary and other relief, including civil penalties and treble damages. Several of the suits also allege that Pharmacia and/or Pfizer did not report to the states their best price for certain products under the Medicaid program.
In addition, Pharmacia, Pfizer and other pharmaceutical manufacturers are defendants in a number of purported class action suits in various federal and state courts brought by employee benefit plans and other third-party payors that assert claims similar to those in the state and county actions. These suits allege, among other things, fraud, unfair competition and unfair trade practices and seek monetary and other relief, including civil penalties and treble damages.
Monsanto-Related Matters
In 1997, Monsanto Company (Former Monsanto) contributed certain chemical manufacturing operations and facilities to a newly formed corporation, Solutia Inc. (Solutia), and spun off the shares of Solutia. In 2000, Former Monsanto merged with Pharmacia & Upjohn to form Pharmacia Corporation (Pharmacia). Pharmacia then transferred its agricultural operations to a newly created subsidiary, named Monsanto Company (New Monsanto), which it spun off in a two-stage process that was completed in 2002. Pharmacia was acquired by Pfizer in 2003 and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer.
In connection with its spin-off that was completed in 2002, New Monsanto assumed, and agreed to indemnify Pharmacia for, any liabilities related to Pharmacia’s former agricultural business. New Monsanto is defending and indemnifying Pharmacia for various claims and litigation arising out of or related to the agricultural business.
In connection with its spin-off in 1997, Solutia assumed, and agreed to indemnify Pharmacia for, liabilities related to Former Monsanto’s chemical businesses. In addition, in connection with its spinoff that was completed in 2002, New Monsanto assumed, and agreed to indemnify Pharmacia for, any liabilities primarily related to Former Monsanto’s chemical businesses, including any such liabilities that Solutia assumed. Solutia’s and New Monsanto’s assumption of and agreement to indemnify Pharmacia for these liabilities apply to pending actions and any future actions related to Former Monsanto’s chemical businesses in which Pharmacia is named as a defendant, including, without limitation, actions asserting environmental claims, including alleged exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls.
In December 2003, Solutia filed a petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Solutia asked the Bankruptcy Court to relieve it from liabilities related to Former Monsanto’s chemical businesses that were assumed by Solutia in 1997. In addition, motions were filed by Solutia in the Chapter 11 proceeding and other actions were filed in the Bankruptcy Court by Solutia and by a committee representing the interests of Solutia’s shareholders that sought to avoid all or a portion of Solutia’s obligations to Pharmacia.
In December 2003, Solutia filed an action, also in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking a determination that Pharmacia rather than Solutia was responsible for an estimated $475 million in healthcare benefits for certain Solutia retirees. A similar action was filed in May 2004 in the same Bankruptcy Court against Pharmacia and New Monsanto by a committee appointed to represent Solutia retirees in the Bankruptcy Court proceedings.
2007 Financial Report | 75

In February 2006, Solutia filed its plan of reorganization in the Bankruptcy Court. In November 2007, the Bankruptcy Court approved the plan of reorganization, and Solutia emerged from bankruptcy in February 2008. Under the reorganization plan, all lawsuits filed against Pharmacia in the Bankruptcy Court by Solutia, the committee representing Solutia retirees and the committee representing Solutia's shareholders have been dismissed or withdrawn with prejudice and without any payment by Pharmacia to Solutia or any other party.
Under the reorganization plan, Solutia's indemnity obligations to Pharmacia that arose in connection with Solutia's 1997 spin-off are shared between Solutia and New Monsanto. New Monsanto is financially responsible for all environmental remediation costs at certain sites that Solutia never owned or operated. Solutia will continue to be financially responsible for all environmental remediation costs at sites that Solutia has owned or operated. The plan also provides that Solutia will indemnify Pharmacia for any environmental remediation costs that Solutia continues to be liable for under the plan. In addition, the plan provides that New Monsanto is financially responsible for all current and future personal injury tort claims related to Former Monsanto's chemical businesses that Solutia assumed in connection with the 1997 spin-off. Finally, under the plan, Pharmacia has been released from all healthcare and other benefit claims of Solutia retirees.
Solutia's reorganization plan does not in any way affect the obligations undertaken by New Monsanto to indemnify Pharmacia for all liabilities that Solutia originally assumed in connection with the 1997 spin-off.
Securities Litigation
In December 2006, a purported class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that Pfizer and certain current officers and one former officer of Pfizer violated federal securities laws by misrepresenting the safety and efficacy of Torcetrapib and the progress of the development program for Torcetrapib, a product candidate whose development program was terminated on December 2, 2006. In April 2007, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that, among other things, expanded the purported class period. Pursuant to the amended complaint, the plaintiffs seek to represent a class consisting of all persons who purchased Pfizer securities between January 19, 2005 and December 2, 2006 and were damaged as a result of the decline in the price of Pfizer’s stock, allegedly attributable to the misrepresentations, that followed the announcement of the termination of the Torcetrapib development program. The action seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount. On February 28, 2008, the court dismissed the amended complaint and granted the plaintiffs the opportunity to move to replead.
Pharmacia Cash Balance Pension Plan
In 2006, several current and former employees of Pharmacia Corporation filed a purported class action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois against the Pharmacia Cash Balance Pension Plan (the Plan), Pharmacia Corporation, Pharmacia & Upjohn Company and Pfizer Inc. Plaintiffs seek monetary and injunctive relief on behalf of a class consisting of certain current and former participants in the Plan who accrued a benefit in the Monsanto Company Pension Plan prior to its conversion to a cash balance plan in 1997. In January 2002, after various corporate reorganizations, certain of the assets and liabilities of the Monsanto Company Pension Plan were transferred to the Plan. Plaintiffs claim that the Plan violates the age discrimination provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 by providing certain credits to such participants only to age 55. This action has been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois (Walker, et al., v. The Monsanto Company Pension Plan et al.) with purported class actions pending in the same court that make largely similar claims against substantially similar cash balance plans sponsored by Monsanto Company and Solutia Inc., two former affiliates of Pharmacia.
In September 2007, the parties to the action against the Plan submitted to the court an agreed-upon proposed order that would permit the case to proceed as a class action. The court has not yet acted on the proposed order.
Environmental Matters
In August 2007, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) proposed a civil penalty, in an amount that is not material to the Company, to settle certain alleged violations of the Federal Clean Air Act at our Groton, Connecticut manufacturing facility that were identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2006. We are in discussions with the DOJ and EPA to resolve this matter, and we have implemented corrective actions to address all of the EPA’s concerns.
We will be required to submit a corrective measures study report to the EPA with regard to Pharmacia’s discontinued industrial chemical facility in North Haven, Connecticut.
We are a party to a number of other proceedings brought under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, (CERCLA or Superfund) and other state, local or foreign laws in which the primary relief sought is the cost of past and/or future remediation.
D. Government Investigations and Requests for Information
Like other pharmaceutical companies, we are subject to extensive regulation by national, state and local government agencies in the U.S. and in the other countries in which we operate. As a result, we have interactions with government agencies on an ongoing basis. Among the investigations and requests for information by government agencies are those discussed below. It is possible that criminal charges and fines and/or civil penalties could result from pending government investigations, including but not limited to those discussed below.

Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies
|
The Department of Justice continues to actively investigate the marketing and safety of our COX-2 medicines, particularly Bextra. The investigation has included requests for information and documents. We also have received requests for information and documents in connection with threatened claims concerning the marketing and safety of Bextra and Celebrex from a group of state attorneys general. We have been considering various ways to resolve these matters.
Separately, the Department of Justice continues to actively investigate certain physician payments budgeted to our prescription pharmaceutical products. The investigation has included requests for information and documents.
The Company has voluntarily provided the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission with information concerning potentially improper payments made in connection with certain sales activities outside the U.S. Certain potentially improper payments and other matters are the subject of investigations by government authorities in certain foreign countries, including the following: A wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer is under criminal investigation by various government authorities in Italy with respect to gifts and payments allegedly provided to certain doctors operating within Italy’s national healthcare system. In Germany, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer is the subject of a civil and criminal investigation with respect to certain tax matters. The Pfizer subsidiaries are fully cooperating in these investigations.
E. Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business and in connection with the sale of assets and businesses, we often indemnify our counterparties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with the transaction or related to activities prior to the transaction. These indemnifications typically pertain to environmental, tax, employee and/or product-related matters and patent infringement claims. If the indemnified party were to make a successful claim pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, we would be required to reimburse the loss. These indemnifications are generally subject to threshold amounts, specified claim periods and other restrictions and limitations. Historically, we have not paid significant amounts under these provisions and, as of December 31, 2007, recorded amounts for the estimated fair value of these indemnifications were not significant.

Business Segments
We operate in the following business segments:
|
|
|
• | Pharmaceutical | |
|
|
|
| – | The Pharmaceutical segment includes products that prevent and treat cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, central nervous system disorders, arthritis and pain, infectious and respiratory diseases, urogenital conditions, cancer, eye disease, endocrine disorders and allergies. |
|
|
|
|

|
• | Animal Health | |
|
|
|
| – | The Animal Health segment includes products that prevent and treat diseases in livestock and companion animals. |
For our reportable operating segments (i.e., Pharmaceutical and Animal Health), segment profit/(loss) is measured based on income from continuing operations before provision for taxes on income, minority interests and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles. Certain costs, such as significant impacts of purchase accounting for acquisitions, acquisition-related costs and costs related to our cost-reduction initiatives and transition activity associated with our former Consumer Healthcare business, are included inCorporate/Otheronly. This methodology is utilized by management to evaluate our businesses.
Certain income/(expense) items that are excluded from the operating segments’ profit/(loss) are considered corporate items and are included inCorporate/Other. These items include interest income/(expense), corporate expenses (e.g., corporate administration costs), other income/(expense) (e.g., realized gains and losses attributable to our investments in debt and equity securities), certain performance-based and all share-based compensation expenses not allocated to the business segments, significant impacts of purchase accounting for acquisitions, certain milestone payments, acquisition-related costs, intangible asset impairments and costs related to our cost-reduction initiatives.
Each segment is managed separately and offers different products requiring different marketing and distribution strategies.
We sell our products primarily to customers in the wholesale sector. In 2007, sales to our three largest U.S. wholesaler customers represented approximately 18%, 12% and 10% of total revenues and, collectively, represented approximately 20% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2007. In 2006, sales to our three largest U.S. wholesaler customers represented approximately 20%, 13% and 11% of total revenues and, collectively, represented approximately 26% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2006. These sales and related accounts receivable were concentrated in the Pharmaceutical segment.
Revenues exceeded $500 million in each of 12 countries outside the U.S. in 2007 and in each of 10 countries outside the U.S. in 2006. The U.S. was the only country to contribute more than 10% of total revenues in each year.

Since 2005, Pfizer’s pharmaceutical peer group has consisted of the following companies: Abbott Laboratories, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Eli Lilly and Company, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Merck and Co., Schering-Plough Corporation and Wyeth (New Peer Group). Prior to that, Pfizer’s pharmaceutical peer group was comprised of Abbot Laboratories, Baxter International, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Colgate-Palmolive Company, Eli Lilly and Company, Johnson & Johnson, Merck and Co., Schering-Plough Corporation and Wyeth (Old Peer Group).
We believe that the companies included in the New Peer Group are more reflective of the Company’s core business, and therefore will provide a more meaningful comparison of stock performance. We have included the New Peer Group in the graph to show what the comparison to those companies would have been if the New Peer Group had been in place during the periods shown on the graph.
