EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY
Dr. Albert Bourla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “We delivered another strong quarter of results as we continued to execute with discipline, strengthen our commercial position and advance our pipeline. I am pleased with the performance of our product portfolio in the third quarter as we continued to achieve exceptional growth with our Oncology products, including strong revenue growth contributions from Padcev, Xtandi, Lorbrena and Braftovi/Mektovi, and as we delivered on heightened demand for Paxlovid during the recent COVID-19 wave.
“Our performance through the first three quarters of the year is the result of our focus on our most important strategic priorities. I’m confident that we will deliver on our financial commitments in 2024 and that we are well positioned to continue advancing scientific breakthroughs meaningful to our patients and our company, as well as creating long-term shareholder value, in the years to come.”
David Denton, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, stated: “We are extremely pleased with the strong 14% operational revenue growth of Pfizer’s non-COVID products in the third quarter. This follows our strong first-half performance, which demonstrates our continued focus on commercial execution and confidence in our ability to deliver on our financial guidance this year. Importantly, we believe our ongoing cost reduction efforts set the company on a path toward future margin expansion.”
OVERALL RESULTS
In the first quarter of 2024, Pfizer reclassified royalty income (substantially all of which is related to our Biopharma segment) from Other (income)/deductions––net to revenues and began presenting Royalty revenues as a separate line item within Total revenues in our consolidated statements of operations. Prior-period amounts have been recast to conform to the current presentation.
Some amounts in this press release may not add due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts. References to operational variances pertain to period-over-period changes that exclude the impact of foreign exchange rates(6).
Results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 and 2023(7) are summarized below.

2024 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE(1)
Pfizer raises full-year 2024 revenue guidance by $1.5 billion at the midpoint to a range of $61.0 to $64.0 billion and raises Adjusted(2) diluted EPS guidance by $0.30 at the midpoint to $2.75 to $2.95. The company’s updated guidance for revenue includes approximately $10.5 billion in anticipated revenues for Comirnaty(3) and Paxlovid, approximately $5 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively. Including the contribution from Seagen and excluding revenues from Comirnaty(3) and Paxlovid, Pfizer continues to expect full-year 2024 operational revenue growth of 9% to 11% compared to 2023 revenues; and this growth guidance takes into consideration the reduction of sales associated with the previously announced global withdrawal of Oxbryta.
The updated 2024 Adjusted(2) diluted EPS guidance takes into consideration our strong year-to-date performance as well as our continued confidence in our business.
Pfizer’s updated financial guidance(1) is presented below.
| | | | | | | |
| | | |
Revenues | | $61.0 to $64.0 billion | |
| (previously $59.5 to $62.5 billion) | |

Changes in foreign exchange rates have had a minimal incremental impact since full-year 2024 guidance was updated on July 30, 2024. Please refer to Press Release Footnote (1) for additional information.
CAPITAL ALLOCATION
During the first nine months of 2024, Pfizer deployed its capital in a variety of ways, which primarily include the following two categories:
▪Reinvesting capital into initiatives intended to enhance the future growth prospects of the company, including:
•$7.8 billion invested in internal research and development projects, and
•Approximately $200 million invested in business development transactions.
▪Returning capital directly to shareholders through $7.1 billion of cash dividends, or $1.26 per share of common stock.
No share repurchases were completed to date in 2024. As of October 29, 2024, Pfizer’s remaining share repurchase authorization is $3.3 billion. Current financial guidance does not anticipate any share repurchases in 2024.
Third-quarter 2024 diluted weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate Reported(4) and Adjusted(2) diluted EPS were 5,705 million shares. For the third quarter of 2023, basic weighted-average shares outstanding of 5,646 million were used to calculate Reported(4) and Adjusted(2) diluted LPS.
QUARTERLY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Third-Quarter 2024 vs. Third-Quarter 2023)
Third-quarter 2024 revenues totaled $17.7 billion, an increase of $4.2 billion, or 31%, compared to the prior-year quarter, reflecting an operational increase of $4.3 billion, or 32%, primarily due to growth contributions from Paxlovid as well as several of our acquired products, key in-line products, and recent commercial launches, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of $133 million, or 1%. Excluding contributions from Paxlovid and Comirnaty(3), revenues totaled $13.6 billion, an increase of $1.7 billion, or 14%, operationally compared with the prior-year quarter.
Third-quarter 2024 Paxlovid revenues of $2.7 billion increased $2.5 billion operationally compared with the prior-year quarter, primarily due to strong demand, particularly in the U.S., driven by higher utilization during a recent global COVID-19 wave; the one-time contractual delivery of one million treatment courses to the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile in the third quarter of 2024 that accounted for $442 million in revenue; and no U.S. sales in the prior-year quarter in anticipation of the transition to commercial markets in November 2023.
Third-quarter 2024 Comirnaty(3) revenues of $1.4 billion increased $119 million, or 9%, operationally compared with the prior-year quarter, driven primarily by timing of stocking as a result of earlier approval of the new variant vaccine in the U.S. in 2024 compared to 2023, partially offset by lower contractual deliveries and demand in international markets.
Excluding contributions from Comirnaty(3) and Paxlovid, third-quarter 2024 operational revenue growth was driven primarily by:
▪Global revenues of $854 million from legacy Seagen, which was acquired in December of 2023;
▪Vyndaqel family (Vyndaqel, Vyndamax, Vynmac) globally, up 63% operationally, driven largely by continued strong demand, primarily in the U.S. and international developed markets;
▪Eliquis globally, up 9% operationally, driven primarily by continued oral anti-coagulant adoption and market share gains in the non-valvular atrial fibrillation indication in the U.S. and certain markets in Europe, partially offset by declines due to loss of patent-based exclusivity and generic competition in certain international markets;
▪Xtandi, up 28% operationally, driven primarily by strong demand due to uptake of the non-metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (nmCSPC) indication following approval in the fourth quarter of 2023; and
▪Nurtec ODT/Vydura globally, up 45% operationally, driven primarily by strong demand in the U.S. and, to a much lesser extent, recent launches in international markets;
partially offset primarily by lower revenues for:
▪Xeljanz globally, down 35% operationally, driven primarily by decreased prescription volumes globally resulting from ongoing shifts in prescribing patterns related to label changes, as well as lower net price in the U.S. and the impact of regulatory exclusivity expiry in Canada; and
▪Ibrance globally, down 12% operationally, driven primarily by lower demand due to competitive pressure globally and price decreases in certain international developed markets, partially offset by increased clinical trial supply orders in certain international developed markets versus prior year.

* Indicates calculation not meaningful or results are greater than 100%.
Third-quarter 2024 Cost of Sales(4) as a percentage of revenues decreased by 39.0 percentage points compared to the prior-year quarter, driven primarily by the non-recurrence of a non-cash charge of $5.6 billion recorded in the third quarter of 2023 for inventory write-offs and related charges ($4.7 billion for Paxlovid and $0.9 billion for Comirnaty(3)).
Third-quarter 2024 SI&A Expenses(4) were relatively flat operationally compared with the prior-year quarter, reflecting a decrease due to lower U.S. healthcare reform fees primarily related to Paxlovid and Comirnaty(3), largely offset by an increase in spending related to marketing and promotional expenses for recently launched and acquired products.
Third-quarter 2024 R&D Expenses(4) decreased 4% operationally compared with the prior-year quarter, driven primarily by lower spending on certain ongoing vaccine programs and, to a lesser extent, lower spending as a result of our cost realignment program, partially offset by a net increase in spending mainly to develop certain product candidates acquired from Seagen.
The unfavorable period-over-period change in Other deductions—net(4) of $62 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared with the prior-year quarter, was driven primarily by higher net interest expense and a charge in the third quarter of 2024 related to the expected sale of one of our facilities resulting from the discontinuation of our Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) program, partially offset by net gains on equity securities in the third quarter of 2024 versus net losses on equity securities in the prior-year quarter.
Pfizer’s effective tax rate on Reported(4) income for the third quarter of 2024 is primarily a result of its jurisdictional mix of earnings. Pfizer’s positive effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 reflects a tax benefit on a pre-tax Reported(4) loss.

Oxbryta (voxelotor) | September 2024. Announced the voluntary withdrawal of all lots of Oxbryta for the treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD) in all markets where it is approved. Pfizer is also discontinuing all active voxelotor clinical trials and expanded access programs worldwide. The decision is based on the totality of clinical data that now indicates the overall benefit of Oxbryta no longer outweighs the risk in the approved sickle cell patient population. The data suggest an imbalance in vaso-occlusive crises and fatal events, which requires further assessment. | Full Release |
Prevnar 20 (20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine) | October 2024. Announced the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice (ACIP) voted to expand its recommendation for the use of certain pneumococcal vaccines, including Prevnar 20 for all adults aged 50 and older and for adults aged 19-49 years with certain underlying conditions or risk factors who have not received a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) or whose vaccination history is unknown.

Combination COVID-19 and Influenza vaccine candidate | August 2024. Announced Phase 3 top-line results for Pfizer and BioNTech’s combination mRNA vaccine candidate against influenza and COVID-19 in healthy individuals 18-64 years of age. The trial did not meet one of its primary immunogenicity objectives of non-inferiority against the influenza B strain despite obtaining higher influenza A responses and comparable COVID-19 responses versus the comparator vaccines. The companies are evaluating adjustments to the candidate and are discussing next steps with health authorities. | Full Release |
ponsegromab | September 2024. Presented data from the Phase 2 study of ponsegromab, a monoclonal antibody directed against growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), in people with cancer cachexia and elevated levels of GDF-15 at ESMO Congress 2024. The data were also simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The study met its primary endpoint of change from baseline in body weight for ponsegromab compared to placebo across all ponsegromab doses tested, reaching 5.6% mean increase at the highest dose evaluated at 12 weeks. At the highest dose evaluated, improvements were seen from baseline in appetite and cachexia symptoms, physical activity, and muscle mass. Ponsegromab was generally considered safe and well-tolerated at all dose levels in the study. Pfizer is discussing late-stage development plans with regulators with the goal of starting registration-enabling studies in 2025. Ponsegromab is also being investigated in a Phase 2 study in patients with heart failure and elevated serum GDF-15 concentrations (NCT05492500). | Full Release |
Trivalent Influenza vaccine candidate | August 2024. Announced data from a Phase 2 trial with second-generation trivalent (tIRV) influenza mRNA vaccine candidates which showed encouraging data demonstrating robust immunogenicity in individuals 18-64 years of age. The tIRV formulations elicited robust influenza A and B responses, including continued trend of higher influenza A responses versus a licensed influenza vaccine. No safety signals were reported in the trial. Pfizer will continue to evaluate its influenza vaccine program and discuss next steps with health authorities. | Full Release |
VLA15 (Lyme vaccine candidate)
| September 2024. Valneva and Pfizer announced positive immunogenicity and safety data from a Phase 2 study following a second booster vaccination of their Lyme disease vaccine candidate, VLA15, given one year after receiving the first booster dose. The immune response and safety profile of VLA15 one month after receiving the second booster dose were similar to those reported after receiving the first booster dose, showing compatibility with the anticipated benefit of a booster vaccination prior to each Lyme season. There are currently no approved human vaccines for Lyme disease, and VLA15 is the Lyme disease vaccine candidate which has advanced the furthest along the clinical development timeline, with two Phase 3 trials in progress. | Full Release |

For additional details, see the attached financial schedules, product revenue tables and disclosure notice.
(1)Pfizer does not provide guidance for GAAP Reported financial measures (other than revenues) or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP Reported financial measures on a forward-looking basis because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of unusual gains and losses, certain acquisition-related expenses, gains and losses from equity securities, actuarial gains and losses from pension and postretirement plan remeasurements, potential future asset impairments and pending litigation without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP Reported results for the guidance period.
Financial guidance for full-year 2024 reflects the following:
▪Does not assume the completion of any business development transactions not completed as of September 29, 2024.
▪An anticipated immaterial impact in fiscal-year 2024 of recent and expected generic and biosimilar competition for certain products that have recently lost patent or regulatory protection or that are anticipated to lose patent or regulatory protection.
▪Exchange rates assumed are a blend of actual rates in effect through third-quarter 2024 and mid-October 2024 rates for the remainder of the year. Financial guidance reflects the anticipated unfavorable impact of approximately $0.3 billion on revenues and no impact on Adjusted(2) diluted EPS as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar compared to foreign exchange rates from 2023.
▪Guidance for Adjusted(2) diluted EPS assumes diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 5.7 billion shares, and assumes no share repurchases in 2024.
▪Guidance assumes the seasonal cadence of certain products in our portfolio, and that Paxlovid results trend with infection rates.
(2)Adjusted income/(loss) and Adjusted diluted EPS/(LPS) are defined as U.S. GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders and U.S. GAAP diluted EPS/(LPS) attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders before the impact of amortization of intangible assets, certain acquisition-related items, discontinued operations and certain significant items. See the accompanying reconciliations of certain GAAP Reported to Non-GAAP Adjusted information for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2024 and 2023. Adjusted income/(loss) and its components and Adjusted diluted EPS/(LPS) measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for U.S. GAAP net income/(loss) and its components and diluted EPS/(LPS)(4). See the Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Adjusted Income section of
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Pfizer’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the accompanying Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Adjusted Income/(Loss) section of this press release for a definition of each component of Adjusted income/(loss) as well as other relevant information.
(3)As used in this document, “Comirnaty” refers to, as applicable, and as authorized or approved, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine; Comirnaty (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) original monovalent formula; the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent (Original and Omicron BA.4/BA.5); the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (2023-2024 Formula); Comirnaty (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) 2023-2024 Formula; Comirnaty (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) 2024-2025 Formula; Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.1; Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4/BA.5; Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5; Comirnaty JN.1 and Comirnaty KP.2. “Comirnaty” includes product revenues and alliance revenues related to sales of the above-mentioned vaccines.
(4)Revenues is defined as revenues in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Reported net income/(loss) and its components are defined as net income/(loss) attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders and its components in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) and reported diluted loss per share (LPS) are defined as diluted EPS or LPS attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(5)The targeted $4 billion in net cost savings is calculated versus the midpoint of Pfizer’s 2023 SI&A and R&D expense guidance provided on August 1, 2023. As an additional reference, see the ‘2024 Financial Guidance’ section of Pfizer’s fourth-quarter 2023 earnings release.
(6)References to operational variances in this press release pertain to period-over-period changes that exclude the impact of foreign exchange rates. Although foreign exchange rate changes are part of Pfizer’s business, they are not within Pfizer’s control and because they can mask positive or negative trends in the business, Pfizer believes presenting operational variances excluding these foreign exchange changes provides useful information to evaluate Pfizer’s results.
(7)Pfizer’s fiscal year-end for international subsidiaries is November 30 while Pfizer’s fiscal year-end for U.S. subsidiaries is December 31. Therefore, Pfizer’s third quarter and first nine months for U.S. subsidiaries reflects the three and nine months ended on September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, while Pfizer’s third quarter and first nine months for subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. reflects the three and nine months ended on August 25, 2024 and August 27, 2023.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS - (UNAUDITED)
(1)The financial statements present the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023. Subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. are included for the three and nine months ended August 25, 2024 and August 27, 2023.
The financial results for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that ultimately could be achieved for the full year.
Business development activities, including the December 2023 acquisition of Seagen Inc. (Seagen), impacted financial results in the periods presented. See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Pfizer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024, as well as Notes 1A and 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Pfizer’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, we began presenting Product revenues and Alliance revenues as separate line items within Total revenues in our consolidated statements of operations. In the first quarter of 2024, we reclassified royalty income from Other (income)/deductions––net and began presenting Royalty revenues as a separate line item within Total revenues in our consolidated statements of operations. Prior-period amounts have been recast to conform to the current presentation.
Certain amounts in the consolidated statements of operations and associated notes may not add due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.
(2)The third quarter and first nine months of 2024 include $442 million of revenue recorded in connection with the creation of a U.S. Strategic National Stockpile of 1.0 million treatment courses of Paxlovid, which we supplied at no cost to the U.S. government or taxpayers. The first nine months of 2024 also includes a $771 million favorable final adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2024 to the estimated non-cash Paxlovid revenue reversal of $3.5 billion recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023, reflecting 5.1 million EUA-labeled treatment courses returned by the U.S. government through February 29, 2024 versus the estimated 6.5 million treatment courses that were expected to be returned as of December 31, 2023. See Note 13C to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Pfizer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024, as well as Note 17C to the consolidated financial statements in Pfizer’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(3)Exclusive of amortization of intangible assets. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, Cost of sales included a non-cash charge of $5.6 billion for inventory write-offs and related charges ($4.7 billion for Paxlovid and $0.9 billion for Comirnaty).

(a)The increase in net interest expense in the third quarter of 2024 reflects (i) higher interest expense driven by the remaining balance of our $8 billion of commercial paper issued in the fourth quarter of 2023 as part of the financing for our acquisition of Seagen and (ii) a decrease in interest income due to lower investment balances after completion of our $43.4 billion Seagen acquisition in December 2023. The increase in net interest expense in the first nine months of 2024 reflects (i) higher interest expense driven by our $31 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes issued in May 2023, as well as the remaining balance of the $8 billion of commercial paper issued in the fourth quarter of 2023, both part of the financing for our acquisition of Seagen, and (ii) a decrease in interest income due to lower investment balances after completion of our $43.4 billion Seagen acquisition in December 2023.
(b)The third quarter and first nine months of 2024 primarily include certain product liability expenses related to products discontinued and/or divested by Pfizer. The third quarter of 2023 included legal obligations related to pre-acquisition matters and certain product liability expenses related to products discontinued and/or divested by Pfizer. The first nine months of 2023 primarily included certain product liability and other legal expenses related to products discontinued and/or divested by Pfizer and legal obligations related to pre-acquisition matters.
(c)The first nine months of 2024 include a $240 million intangible asset impairment charge, related to in-process research and development (IPR&D) associated with a Phase 3 study for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which reflects unfavorable clinical trial results. The first nine months of 2023 primarily represented intangible asset impairment charges, including (i) $128 million related to IPR&D and developed technology rights for acquired software assets, and (ii) $120 million resulting from the discontinuation of a study related to an out-licensed IPR&D asset for the treatment of prostate cancer.
(d)The third quarter and first nine months of 2024 primarily include, among other things, a charge of $420 million related to the expected sale of one of our facilities resulting from the discontinuation of our DMD program. The first nine months of 2024 also includes, among other things, a $150 million gain on the partial sale of our investment in Haleon plc in the first quarter of 2024 and dividend income of $183 million from our investment in ViiV Healthcare Limited (ViiV). The third quarter and first nine months of 2023 included, among other things, a $222 million gain on the divestiture of our early-stage rare disease gene therapy portfolio to Alexion Pharma International Operations Limited, a subsidiary of AstraZeneca PLC. The first nine months of 2023 also included, among other things, dividend income of $213 million from our investment in ViiV and $211 million from our investment in Nimbus Therapeutics, LLC (Nimbus) resulting from Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited’s acquisition of Nimbus’s oral, selective allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor program subsidiary.
(6)Our effective tax rates for income/(loss) from continuing operations were 5.0% and 4.9% in the three and nine months ended September 29, 2024, respectively, and 28.8% and (6.2)% in the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 is primarily a result of the jurisdictional mix of earnings and, to a lesser extent, tax benefits related to the closing of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audits covering multiple tax years. The positive effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 reflects a tax benefit on a pre-tax loss.
The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 29, 2024, compared to the nine months ended October 1, 2023 was primarily due to the non-recurrence of tax benefits related to global income tax resolutions
PFIZER INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

in multiple tax jurisdictions spanning multiple tax years in the second quarter of 2023 partially offset by tax benefits related to the closing of the IRS audits covering multiple tax years.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, our cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds, was $3.1 billion, of which $1.9 billion was paid in the U.S.
(7)For the third quarter of 2023, basic weighted-average shares outstanding of 5,646 million (excluding common share equivalents) were used to calculate GAAP Reported Loss per common share attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders––diluted.
PFIZER INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE: ADJUSTED INCOME/LOSS
Adjusted income/(loss) is an alternative measure of performance used by management to evaluate our overall performance as a supplement to our GAAP Reported performance measures. As such, we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this measure. We use Adjusted income/(loss), certain components of Adjusted income/(loss) and Adjusted diluted EPS/(LPS) to present the results of our major operations––the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of biopharmaceutical products worldwide––prior to considering certain income statement elements as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Measure | | Definition | | Relevance of Metrics to Our Business Performance |
Adjusted income/(loss) | | Net income/(loss) attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders(a) before the impact of amortization of intangible assets, certain acquisition-related items, discontinued operations and certain significant items | | •Provides investors useful information to: ◦evaluate the normal recurring operational activities, and their components, on a comparable year-over-year basis ◦assist in modeling expected future performance on a normalized basis •Provides investors insight into the way we manage our budgeting and forecasting, how we evaluate and manage our recurring operations and how we reward and compensate our senior management(b) |
Adjusted cost of sales, Adjusted selling, informational and administrative expenses, Adjusted research and development expenses and Adjusted other (income)/deductions––net | | Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses, Research and development expenses and Other (income)/deductions––net (a), each before the impact of amortization of intangible assets, certain acquisition-related items, discontinued operations and certain significant items, which are components of the Adjusted income/(loss) measure | |
Adjusted diluted EPS/(LPS) | | EPS/(LPS) attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders––diluted (a) before the impact of amortization of intangible assets, certain acquisition-related items, discontinued operations and certain significant items | |
(a)Most directly comparable GAAP measure.
(b)Since 2022, we no longer exclude any expenses for acquired IPR&D from our non-GAAP Adjusted results but we continue to exclude certain of these expenses for our financial results for annual incentive compensation purposes.
Adjusted income/(loss) and its components and Adjusted diluted EPS/(LPS) are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, are limited in their usefulness to investors. Because of their non-standardized definitions, they may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies and are presented to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance. A limitation of these measures is that they provide a view of our operations without including all events during a period, and do not provide a comparable view of our performance to peers. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for their most directly comparable GAAP measures of Net income/(loss) attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders, components of Net income/(loss) attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders and EPS/(LPS) attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders—diluted, respectively.
We also recognize that, as internal measures of performance, these measures have limitations, and we do not restrict our performance-management process solely to these measures. We also use other tools designed to achieve the highest levels of performance. For example, our R&D organization has productivity targets, upon which its effectiveness is measured. In addition, total shareholder return, both on an absolute basis and relative to a publicly traded pharmaceutical index, plays a significant role in determining payouts under certain of our incentive compensation plans.

PFIZER INC.
NOTES TO REVENUES TABLE INFORMATION
(UNAUDITED)
| | | | | |
|
(a) | In the first quarter of 2024, we reclassified royalty income (substantially all of which related to our Biopharma segment) from Other (income)/deductions––net and began presenting Royalty revenues as a separate line item within Total revenues in our consolidated statements of operations. Prior-period amounts have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. |
(b) | Primarily reflects alliance revenues and product revenues. |
(c) | The third quarter and first nine months of 2024 include $442 million of revenue recorded in connection with the creation of a U.S. Strategic National Stockpile of 1.0 million treatment courses, which we supplied at no cost to the U.S. government or taxpayers. The first nine months of 2024 also includes a $771 million favorable final adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2024 to the estimated non-cash revenue reversal of $3.5 billion recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023, reflecting 5.1 million EUA-labeled treatment courses returned by the U.S. government through February 29, 2024 versus the estimated 6.5 million treatment courses that were expected to be returned as of December 31, 2023. |
(d) | Prevnar family includes revenues from Prevnar 20/Apexxnar (pediatric and adult) and Prevnar 13/Prevenar 13 (pediatric and adult). |
(e) | Vyndaqel family includes global revenues from Vyndaqel, as well as revenues for Vyndamax in the U.S. and Vynmac in Japan. |
(f) | The third quarter and first nine months of 2024 include $129 million related to a one-time sales true-up settlement agreement with our commercialization partner. |
(g) | In September 2024, we announced our voluntary withdrawal of all lots of Oxbryta for the treatment of sickle cell disease in all markets where it is approved, as well as the discontinuation of all active voxelotor clinical trials and expanded access programs worldwide, based on the totality of clinical data that now indicates the overall benefit of Oxbryta no longer outweighs the risk in the approved sickle cell patient population. The data suggest an imbalance in vaso-occlusive crises and fatal events, which requires further assessment. |
(h) | Includes, among other Hospital products, amounts previously presented as All other Anti-infectives and Ig Portfolio. |
(i) | Primarily reflects alliance revenues and royalty revenues. |
(j) | Biosimilars are highly similar versions of approved and authorized biological medicines. Oncology biosimilars primarily include Retacrit, Ruxience, Zirabev, Trazimera and Nivestym. |
(k) | Pfizer CentreOne (PC1) includes revenues from our contract manufacturing and our active pharmaceutical ingredient sales operation, as well as revenues related to our manufacturing and supply agreements with legacy Pfizer businesses/partnerships. |
(l) | At the beginning of 2024, we made changes in our commercial organization to incorporate Seagen Inc. and improve focus, speed and execution. Specifically, within our Biopharma reportable segment we created the Pfizer Oncology Division, the Pfizer U.S. Commercial Division, and the Pfizer International Commercial Division. For additional information regarding the changes in our commercial organizational structure, see the Item 1. Business––Commercial Operations section of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K (available at www.pfizer.com). |

Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from past results and future plans and projected future results are the following:
Risks Related to Our Business, Industry and Operations, and Business Development:
•the outcome of research and development (R&D) activities, including, the ability to meet anticipated pre-clinical or clinical endpoints, commencement and/or completion dates for our pre-clinical or clinical trials, regulatory submission dates, and/or regulatory approval and/or launch dates; the possibility of unfavorable pre-clinical and clinical trial results, including the possibility of unfavorable new pre-clinical or clinical data and further analyses of existing pre-clinical or clinical data; risks associated with preliminary, early stage or interim data; the risk that pre-clinical and clinical trial data are subject to differing interpretations and assessments, including during the peer review/publication process, in the scientific community generally, and by regulatory authorities; whether and when additional data from our pipeline programs will be published in scientific journal publications and, if so, when and with what modifications and interpretations; and uncertainties regarding the future development of our product candidates, including whether or when our product candidates will advance to future studies or phases of development or whether or when regulatory applications may be filed for any of our product candidates;
•our ability to successfully address comments received from regulatory authorities such as the FDA or the EMA, or obtain approval for new products and indications from regulators on a timely basis or at all;
•regulatory decisions impacting labeling, including the scope of indicated patient populations, product dosage, manufacturing processes, safety and/or other matters, including decisions relating to emerging developments regarding potential product impurities; uncertainties regarding the ability to obtain, and the scope of, recommendations by technical or advisory committees; and the timing of, and ability to obtain, pricing approvals and product launches, all of which could impact the availability or commercial potential of our products and product candidates;
•claims and concerns that may arise regarding the safety or efficacy of in-line products and product candidates, including claims and concerns that may arise from the conduct or outcome of post-approval clinical trials, pharmacovigilance or Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies, which could impact marketing approval, product labeling, and/or availability or commercial potential;
•the success and impact of external business development activities, such as the December 2023 acquisition of Seagen, including the ability to identify and execute on potential business development opportunities; the ability to satisfy the conditions to closing of announced transactions in the anticipated time frame or at all; the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of any such transactions in the anticipated time frame or at all; the potential need for and impact of additional equity or debt financing to pursue these opportunities, which has in the past and could in the future result in increased leverage and/or a downgrade of our credit ratings and could limit our ability to obtain future financing;
challenges integrating the businesses and operations; disruption to business and operations relationships; risks related to growing revenues for certain acquired or partnered products; significant transaction costs; and unknown liabilities;
•competition, including from new product entrants, in-line branded products, generic products, private label products, biosimilars and product candidates that treat or prevent diseases and conditions similar to those treated or intended to be prevented by our in-line products and product candidates;
•the ability to successfully market both new and existing products, including biosimilars;
•difficulties or delays in manufacturing, sales or marketing; supply disruptions, shortages or stock-outs at our facilities or third-party facilities that we rely on; and legal or regulatory actions;

•the impact of product recalls, withdrawals and other unusual items, including uncertainties related to regulator-directed risk evaluations and assessments, such as our ongoing evaluation of our product portfolio for the potential presence or formation of nitrosamines, and our voluntary withdrawal of all lots of Oxbryta in all markets where it is approved and any potential regulatory or other impact on other sickle cell disease assets;
•trade buying patterns;
•the risk of an impairment charge related to our intangible assets, goodwill or equity-method investments;
•the impact of, and risks and uncertainties related to, restructurings and internal reorganizations, as well as any other corporate strategic initiatives and growth strategies, and cost-reduction and productivity initiatives, including any potential future phases, each of which requires upfront costs but may fail to yield anticipated benefits and may result in
