NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) reported financial results for second-quarter 2016 and reaffirmed its 2016 financial guidance for Revenues and Adjusted Diluted EPS(2).

On September 3, 2015, Pfizer acquired Hospira, Inc. (Hospira).

The Company manages its commercial operations through two distinct businesses: Pfizer Innovative Health (IH)(3) (formerly the Innovative Products business) and Pfizer Essential Health (EH)(3)(4) (formerly the Established Products business). Financial results for each of these businesses are presented in the Operating Segment Information section of the press release located at the hyperlink below.

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 growth rates that exclude the impact of foreign exchange as well as the negative currency impact related to Venezuela. Results for the second quarter and first six months of 2016 and 2015 are summarized below.

EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY

Ian Read, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our continued sharp focus on executing against the distinct strategies for both our Innovative Health and Essential Health businesses has delivered a strong financial performance during the second quarter as well as for the first half of 2016. This performance was driven by all areas of the company, reflecting ongoing strength from our recent product launches and key in-line products, the contribution of legacy Hospira products, continued improvement in the revenue profile for our standalone Essential Health business, the advancement of our product pipeline and sound capital allocation choices.

“Furthermore, I see our product pipeline along with the assets obtained from our recent business development initiatives as positioning the Company competitively in those areas where I believe Pfizer’s strengths can generate significant shareholder value over time while also benefiting patients,” Mr. Read concluded.

Frank D’Amelio, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Overall, I am pleased with our second-quarter 2016 financial results and with our ability to continue delivering shareholder value through prudent capital allocation. We grew revenues by 4% operationally, excluding the impact of foreign exchange and legacy Hospira operations. We also continued to deliver significant value directly to shareholders by returning $8.7 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in the first half of 2016, including the completion of a $5 billion accelerated share repurchase agreement in June 2016. Additionally, we announced and completed the acquisition of Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Anacor) in the second quarter of 2016. We also reaffirmed our 2016 financial guidance for Revenues and Adjusted Diluted EPS(2), reflecting the overall strength of our businesses and our confidence in their outlooks going forward.”

QUARTERLY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Second-Quarter 2016 vs. Second-Quarter 2015)

Revenues totaled $13.1 billion, an increase of $1.3 billion, or 11%, which reflects operational growth of $1.6 billion, or 13%, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of $302 million, or 3%. Excluding the contribution of legacy Hospira operations of $1.1 billion and foreign exchange, Pfizer-standalone revenues increased by $458 million operationally, or 4%.

Revenues in developed markets grew $1.5 billion, or 17%, operationally, driven primarily by the inclusion of $1.1 billion of revenues from legacy Hospira operations and continued strong performance of several key products, notably Ibrance in the U.S., Eliquis, as well as Xeljanz and Lyrica, both primarily in the U.S. Operational revenue growth in developed markets was partially offset primarily by lower revenues for Prevnar 13 in the U.S., the loss of exclusivity and associated generic competition for Zyvox, primarily in the U.S. and certain developed Europe markets, and Lyrica in certain developed Europe markets, as well as the December 31, 2015 expiration of the collaboration agreement to co-promote Rebif in the U.S.

In emerging markets, revenues increased $116 million, or 4%, operationally, reflecting the favorable impact of the addition of legacy Hospira operations, which contributed $78 million and the performance of certain Essential Health products primarily in China partially offset primarily by lower revenues for Prevenar 13.

For additional details, see the associated financial schedules and product revenue tables attached to the press release located at the hyperlink referred to above and the attached disclosure notice.

(1) Revenues is defined as revenues in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Reported net income is defined as net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) is defined as reported diluted EPS attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(2)

Adjusted income and its components and Adjusted diluted EPS are defined as reported U.S. GAAP net income(1) and its components and reported diluted EPS(1) excluding purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related costs, discontinued operations and certain significant items (some of which may recur, such as restructuring or legal charges, but which management does not believe are reflective of our ongoing core operations). Adjusted cost of sales, Adjusted selling, informational and administrative (SI&A) expenses, Adjusted research and development (R&D) expenses and Adjusted other (income)/deductions are income statement line items prepared on the same basis as, and therefore components of, the overall Adjusted income measure. As described in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations––Non-GAAP Financial Measure (Adjusted Income) section of Pfizer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2016, management uses Adjusted income, among other factors, to set performance goals and to measure the performance of the overall company. Because Adjusted income is an important internal measurement for Pfizer, we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this performance measure. We report Adjusted income, and certain components of Adjusted income, in order to portray the results of our major operations––the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of prescription medicines, vaccines, medical devices and consumer healthcare (OTC) products––prior to considering certain income statement elements. See the reconciliations of certain GAAP Reported to Non-GAAP Adjusted information for the second quarter and first six months of 2016 and 2015 at the press release located at the hyperlink above. The Adjusted income and its components and Adjusted diluted EPS measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for U.S. GAAP net income and its components and diluted EPS.

(3)

Effective in second-quarter 2016, Pfizer's operating structure was reorganized from three segments to two to reflect changes to how the innovative pharmaceutical, vaccine and consumer healthcare operations are managed. Pfizer Innovative Health was previously known as the Innovative Products business, which was comprised of the Global Innovative Pharmaceutical (GIP) and Global Vaccines, Oncology and Consumer Healthcare (VOC) segments. Additionally, the name of Pfizer's Established Products business, which consisted of the Global Established Pharmaceutical (GEP) segment, was changed to Pfizer Essential Health. For a description of the revenues in each business, see the Notes to Operating Segment Information section, which can be found on page 23 of the press release located at the hyperlink above.

(4) Effective as of the beginning of 2016, Pfizer’s entire contract manufacturing business, Pfizer CentreOne, is now part of Pfizer Essential Health. Pfizer CentreOne consists of (i) legacy Pfizer’s contract manufacturing and active pharmaceutical ingredient sales operation, including manufacturing and supply agreements with Zoetis Inc. (previously known as Pfizer CentreSource or PCS); and (ii) legacy Hospira’s One-2-One sterile injectables contract manufacturing operation. Prior to 2016, PCS was managed outside of Pfizer's operating segments and its revenues were reported as other business activities. Prior period PCS operating results have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation as part of Essential Health.
(5) The 2016 financial guidance reflects the following:
(6) The following are certain product categories within Essential Health:
Definitions for all Essential Health product categories can be found in the footnotes to the product revenue tables on page 32 of the press release located at the hyperlink above.
