Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

A. Basis of Presentation

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) can be condensed or omitted.

The financial information included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. is as of and for the three months ended February 28, 2016 and February 22, 2015. The financial information included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for U.S. subsidiaries is as of and for the three months ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015.

Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year.

We are responsible for the unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of income. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Pfizer,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Pfizer Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and associated notes may not add due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.

In the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, we performed certain reclassifications to conform to the current period presentation of Other current assets, Other noncurrent assets, Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt and Long-term debt, and in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 29, 2015, we performed certain reclassifications to conform to the current presentation of Proceeds from short-term borrowings for debt issuance costs in accordance with the adoption of a new accounting standard (for additional information, see Note 1B). Certain prior period reclassifications were made to the Global Established Pharmaceutical (GEP) segment operating results to conform to the current period presentation for certain organizational changes impacting GEP in 2016. For additional information, see Note 13.

On April 6, 2016, we announced that the merger agreement between Pfizer and Allergan plc (Allergan) entered into on November 22, 2015 was terminated by mutual agreement of the companies. The decision was driven by the actions announced by the U.S. Department of Treasury on April 4, 2016, which the companies concluded qualified as an “Adverse Tax Law Change” under the merger agreement. In connection with the termination of the merger agreement, on April 8, 2016 (which falls into Pfizer’s second fiscal quarter), Pfizer paid Allergan $150 million (pre-tax) for reimbursement of Allergan’s expenses associated with the terminated transaction. Pfizer and Allergan also released each other from any and all claims in connection with the merger agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.

On September 3, 2015, we completed our acquisition of Hospira, Inc. (Hospira) and, commencing from the acquisition date, our financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities. operating results and cash flows of Hospira. As a result, legacy Hospira operations are reflected in our results of operations, GEP’s operating results, and cash flows for the first quarter of 2016, but not for the first quarter of 2015. Legacy Hospira assets and liabilities are reflected in our balance sheets as of April 3, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

B. Adoption of New Accounting Standards

We adopted a new standard as of January 1, 2016 that changed the presentation of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying value of that associated debt, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The update does not impact the measurement or recognition of debt issuance costs. As of April 3, 2016, debt issuance costs are $76 million and are presented as contra-liabilities to Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt ($1 million) and Long-term debt ($75 million). In the December 31, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheet, we have reclassified debt issuance costs of $79 million ($1 million from Other current assets and $79 million from Other noncurrent assets) and have presented them as contra-liabilities to Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt ($1 million) and Long-term debt ($79 million) to conform to the current period presentation. For additional information, see Note 7A.

We adopted a new standard as of January 1, 2016 that requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments made in the measurement period to provisional amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. There was no material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements in the first quarter of 2016 from adopting this standard. For additional information, see Note 2A.

We adopted a new standard as of January 1, 2016 related to the accounting for hybrid financial instruments issued or held as investments and there was no material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements from adopting this standard.

C. Fair Value

Our fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs:
Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs).
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means (Level 2 inputs).
Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (Level 3 inputs).
A single estimate of fair value can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
Note 2. Acquisitions, Research and Development and Collaborative Arrangements, and Equity-Method Investments

A. Acquisitions

Hospira, Inc. (Hospira)

On September 3, 2015 (the acquisition date), we acquired Hospira, a leading provider of sterile injectable drugs and infusion technologies as well as a provider of biosimilars, for $90 per share in cash. The total fair value of consideration transferred for Hospira was approximately $16.1 billion in cash ($15.7 billion, net of cash acquired). Hospira is now a subsidiary of Pfizer. The combination of local Pfizer and Hospira entities may be pending in various jurisdictions and integration is subject to completion of various local legal and regulatory steps.

The following table summarizes the provisional amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, as well as adjustments made in the first quarter of 2016 to the provisional amounts initially recorded in 2015 (measurement period adjustments) with a corresponding change to goodwill. Certain estimated values are not yet finalized (see below) and are subject to change, which could be significant. We will finalize the amounts recognized as we obtain the information necessary to complete the analyses, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

(a) 
The measurement period adjustments for Identifiable intangible assets reflect changes in the estimated fair value of acquired finite-lived developed technology rights. The measurement period adjustments for Property, plant and equipment primarily reflect changes in the estimated fair value of acquired buildings and machinery and equipment. The changes in the estimated fair values for identifiable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are primarily to better reflect market participant assumptions about facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date. The measurement period adjustments did not result from intervening events subsequent to the acquisition date.
The change in the provisional amounts had no material impact on our results of operations.
The following items are subject to change:
Amounts for certain balances included in working capital (excluding inventories), certain investments and certain legal contingencies, pending receipt of certain information that could affect provisional amounts recorded. We do not believe any adjustments for legal contingencies will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Amounts for intangibles, inventory and property, plant and equipment, pending finalization of valuation efforts for acquired intangible assets as well as the completion of certain physical inventory counts and the confirmation of the physical existence and condition of certain property, plant and equipment assets.
Amounts for income tax assets, receivables and liabilities, pending the filing of Hospira pre-acquisition tax returns and the receipt of information including but not limited to that from taxing authorities, which may change certain estimates and assumptions used.
The following table provides supplemental pro forma information as if the acquisition of Hospira had occurred on January 1, 2014:

The unaudited supplemental pro forma consolidated results do not purport to reflect what the combined company’s results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2014, nor do they project the future results of operations of the combined company or reflect the expected realization of any cost savings associated with the acquisition. The actual results of operations of the combined company may differ significantly from the pro forma adjustments reflected here due to many factors. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information includes various assumptions, including those related to the preliminary purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed from Hospira.

(UNAUDITED)

The unaudited supplemental pro forma consolidated results reflect the historical financial information of Pfizer and Hospira, adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of Hospira as if it had occurred on January 1, 2014, primarily for the following pre-tax adjustments:
Elimination of Hospira’s historical intangible asset amortization expense (approximately $12 million in the first quarter of 2015).
Additional amortization expense (approximately $127 million in the first quarter of 2015) related to the preliminary estimate of the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired.
Additional depreciation expense (approximately $22 million in the first quarter of 2015) related to the preliminary estimate of the fair value adjustment to property, plant and equipment (PP&E) acquired.
Adjustment related to the preliminary estimate of the non-recurring fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventory estimated to have been sold (the addition of $5 million of charges in the first quarter of 2015).
Adjustment to decrease interest expense (approximately $10 million in the first quarter of 2015) related to the fair value adjustment of Hospira debt.
Adjustment for non-recurring acquisition-related costs directly attributable to the acquisition (the elimination of $14 million of charges in the first quarter of 2015), reflecting non-recurring charges incurred by Hospira, which would have been recorded in 2014 under the pro forma assumption that the Hospira acquisition was completed on January 1, 2014. Pfizer did not incur any such charges in the first quarter of 2015.

The above adjustments were adjusted for the applicable tax impact. The taxes associated with the adjustments related to the preliminary estimate of the fair value adjustment for acquired intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, inventory and debt reflect the statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions where the adjustments are expected to be incurred. The taxes associated with the elimination of Hospira’s historical intangible asset amortization expense and the adjustment for the acquisition-related costs directly attributable to the acquisition were based on the tax rate in the jurisdiction in which the related deductible costs were incurred.
Marketed Vaccines Business of Baxter International Inc. (Baxter)
On December 1, 2014 (which falls in the first fiscal quarter of 2015 for our international operations), we acquired Baxters portfolio of marketed vaccines for a final purchase price of $648 million. The portfolio that was acquired consists of NeisVac-C and FSME-IMMUN/TicoVac. NeisVac-C is a vaccine that helps protect against meningitis caused by group C meningococcal meningitis and FSME-IMMUN/TicoVac is a vaccine that helps protect against tick-borne encephalitis. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded $376 million in Identifiable intangible assets, primarily consisting of $371 million in Developed technology rights. We also recorded $194 million of Inventories and $12 million in Goodwill. The final allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has been completed.

B. Research and Development and Collaborative Arrangements

Research and Development Arrangement with RPI Finance Trust (RPI)

In January 2016, Pfizer entered into an agreement with RPI, a subsidiary of Royalty Pharma, under which RPI will fund up to $300 million in development costs related to certain Phase III clinical trials of Pfizer’s Ibrance (palbociclib) product primarily for adjuvant treatment of hormone receptor positive early breast cancer (the Indication). If successful and upon approval of Ibrance in the U.S. or certain major markets in the European Union (EU) for the Indication based on the applicable clinical trials, RPI will be eligible to receive a combination of approval-based fixed milestone payments of up to $250 million dependent upon results of the clinical trials and royalties on certain Ibrance sales over approximately seven years. RPI’s development funding is expected to cover up to 100% of the costs primarily for the applicable clinical trials through 2021. As there is a substantive and genuine transfer of risk to RPI, the development funding is recognized by us as an obligation to perform contractual services and therefore is a reduction of Research and development expenses as incurred. The reduction to Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2016 totaled $8.8 million. Fixed milestone payments due upon approval will be recorded as intangible assets and amortized to Amortization of intangible assets over the estimated commercial life of the Ibrance product and sales-based royalties will be recorded as Cost of sales when incurred.
Collaboration with Eli Lilly & Company (Lilly)

In October 2013, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Lilly to jointly develop and globally commercialize Pfizer’s tanezumab, which provides that Pfizer and Lilly will equally share product-development expenses as well as potential revenues

10


PFIZER INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

and certain product-related costs. Following the decision by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2015 to lift the partial clinical hold on the tanezumab development program, we received a $200 million upfront payment from Lilly in accordance with the collaboration agreement between Pfizer and Lilly, which is recorded as deferred income in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and is being recognized into Other (income)/deductions––net over a multi-year period beginning in the second quarter of 2015. Pfizer and Lilly resumed the Phase 3 chronic pain program for tanezumab in July 2015, which will consist of six studies in approximately 7,000 patients across osteoarthritis, chronic low back pain and cancer pain. Under the collaboration agreement with Lilly, we are eligible to receive additional payments from Lilly upon the achievement of specified regulatory and commercial milestones.

Collaboration with OPKO Health, Inc. (OPKO)
We entered into a collaborative agreement with OPKO, which closed in January 2015, to develop and commercialize OPKO’s long-acting human growth hormone (hGH-CTP) for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in adults and children, as well as for the treatment of growth failure in children born small for gestational age (SGA) who fail to show catch-up growth by two years of age. hGH-CTP has the potential to reduce the required dosing frequency of human growth hormone to a single weekly injection from the current standard of one injection per day. We have received the exclusive license to commercialize hGH-CTP worldwide. OPKO will lead the clinical activities and will be responsible for funding the development programs for the key indications, which include Adult and Pediatric GHD and Pediatric SGA. We will be responsible for all development costs for additional indications, all postmarketing studies, manufacturing and commercialization activities for all indications, and we will lead the manufacturing activities related to product development. In February 2015, we made an upfront payment of $295 million to OPKO, which was recorded in Research and development expenses, and OPKO is eligible to receive up to an additional $275 million upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones. OPKO is also eligible to receive royalty payments associated with the commercialization of hGH-CTP for Adult GHD, which is subject to regulatory approval. Upon the launch of hGH-CTP for Pediatric GHD, which is subject to regulatory approval, the royalties will transition to tiered gross profit sharing for both hGH-CTP and our product, Genotropin.

C. Equity-Method Investments

Investment in Hisun Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Company Limited (Hisun Pfizer)

In the first quarter of 2016, we determined that we had an other-than-temporary decline in the value of Hisun Pfizer, our 49%-owned equity-method investment in China, and, therefore, we recognized a loss of $81 million in Other (income)/deductions––net (see Note 4). The decline in value resulted from lower expectations as to the future cash flows to be generated by Hisun Pfizer, primarily as a result of an increase in risk due to the continued slowdown in the Chinese economy. As of April 3, 2016, the carrying value of our investment in Hisun Pfizer is $680 million, which is included in Long-term investments.
In valuing our investment in Hisun Pfizer, we used discounted cash flow techniques, utilizing a 13.0% discount rate, reflecting our best estimate of the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows, and a nominal terminal year growth factor. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include: the amount and timing of the projected net cash flows, which include the expected impact of competitive, legal, economic and/or regulatory forces on the products; the long-term growth rate, which seeks to project the sustainable growth rate over the long-term; and the discount rate, which seeks to reflect the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows, including country risk.

Investment in Laboratório Teuto Brasileiro S.A. (Teuto)

In the first quarter of 2016, we determined that we had an other-than-temporary decline in the value of Teuto, a 40%-owned generics company in Brazil, and, therefore, we recognized a loss of $50 million in Other (income)/deductions––net (see Note 4) related to our equity method investment. The decline in value resulted from lower expectations as to the future cash flows to be generated by Teuto, primarily due to a slowdown in Brazilian economic conditions, which have been impacted by political risk, higher inflation, and the depreciation of the Brazilian Real.

In valuing our investment in Teuto, we used discounted cash flow techniques, utilizing a 17.5% discount rate, reflecting our best estimate of the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows, and a nominal terminal year growth factor. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include: the amount and timing of the projected net cash flows, which include the expected impact of competitive, legal, economic and/or regulatory forces on the products; the long-term growth rate, which seeks to project the sustainable growth rate over the long-term; and the discount rate, which seeks to reflect the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows, including country risk.

PFIZER INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

We have an option to acquire the remaining 60% of Teuto, and Teuto’s shareholders have an option to sell their 60% stake in the company to us. Under the terms of our agreement with Teuto’s other shareholders, 2016 is the final year in which the call and put options may be exercised. Our investment in Teuto is accounted for under the equity method due to the significant influence we have over the operations of Teuto through our board representation, minority veto rights and 40% voting interest.
Note 3. Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives

We incur significant costs in connection with acquiring, integrating and restructuring businesses and in connection with our global cost-reduction/productivity initiatives. For example:
In connection with acquisition activity, we typically incur costs associated with executing the transactions, integrating the acquired operations (which may include expenditures for consulting and the integration of systems and processes), and restructuring the combined company (which may include charges related to employees, assets and activities that will not continue in the combined company); and
In connection with our cost-reduction/productivity initiatives, we typically incur costs and charges associated with site closings and other facility rationalization actions, workforce reductions and the expansion of shared services, including the development of global systems.

All of our businesses and functions may be impacted by these actions, including sales and marketing, manufacturing and research and development (R&D), as well as groups such as information technology, shared services and corporate operations.

In connection with our acquisition of Hospira, we are focusing our efforts on achieving an appropriate cost structure for the combined company. For up to a three-year period post-acquisition, we expect to incur costs of approximately $1 billion (not including costs of $215 million in 2015 associated with the return of acquired in-process research and development rights as described in the Current-Period Key Activities section of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 3. Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives in our 2015 Financial Report) associated with the integration of Hospira.

In early 2014, we announced that we would be incurring costs in 2014-2016 related to new programs: our new global commercial structure reorganization and additional cost-reduction/productivity initiatives. We have the following initiatives underway associated with these programs:
Manufacturing plant network rationalization and optimization, where execution timelines are necessarily long. Our plant network strategy is expected to result in the exit of four sites over the next several years. In connection with these activities, during 2014-2016, we expect to incur costs of approximately $400 million associated with prior acquisition activity and costs of approximately $1.0 billion associated with new non-acquisition-related cost-reduction initiatives. Through April 3, 2016, we incurred approximately $357 million and $570 million, respectively, associated with these initiatives.
The 2014 global commercial structure reorganization, which primarily includes the streamlining of certain functions, the realignment of regional locations and colleagues to support the businesses, as well as implementing the necessary system changes to support different reporting requirements. In connection with this reorganization, during 2014-2016, we expect to incur costs of approximately $225 million. Through April 3, 2016, we incurred approximately $219 million associated with this reorganization.
Other new cost-reduction/productivity initiatives, primarily related to commercial property rationalization and consolidation. In connection with these cost-reduction activities, during 2014-2016, we expect to incur costs of approximately $850 million. Through April 3, 2016, we incurred approximately $532 million associated with these initiatives.
The costs expected to be incurred during 2014-2016, of approximately $2.5 billion in total for the above-mentioned programs (but not including expected costs associated with the Hospira integration), include restructuring charges, implementation costs and additional depreciation––asset restructuring. Of this amount, we expect that about a quarter of the charges will be non-cash.
Current-Period Key Activities

In the first quarter of 2016, we incurred approximately $228 million in cost-reduction and acquisition-related costs (excluding transaction costs) primarily in connection with the acquisition of Hospira and the aforementioned programs, mainly associated with our manufacturing operations.

Note 5. Tax Matters

A. Taxes on Income from Continuing Operations

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 15.0% for the first quarter of 2016, compared to 22.9% for the first quarter of 2015.
The lower effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2016 in comparison with the same period in 2015 was primarily due to:
benefits related to the final resolution (pending court approval) of an agreement in principle reached in February 2016 to resolve certain claims related to Protonix, which resulted in the receipt of information that raised our assessment of the likelihood of prevailing on the technical merits of our tax position;
benefits associated with our Venezuela operations;
an increase in tax benefits associated with the resolution of certain tax positions pertaining to prior years with various foreign tax authorities, and the expiration of certain statutes of limitations; as well as
an increase in benefits associated with the U.S. R&D tax credit, which was not in effect in the prior year quarter but was permanently extended on December 18, 2015,
partially offset by:
an unfavorable change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings as a result of operating fluctuations in the normal course of business.

B. 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. All of our tax positions are subject to audit by the local taxing authorities in each tax jurisdiction. These tax audits can involve complex issues, interpretations and judgments and the resolution of matters may span multiple years, particularly if subject to negotiation or litigation. Our assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but our estimates of unrecognized tax benefits and potential tax benefits may not be representative of actual outcomes, and variation from such estimates could materially affect our financial statements 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.
The U.S. is one of our major tax jurisdictions, and we are regularly audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS):
With respect to Pfizer Inc., the IRS has issued a Revenue Agents Report (RAR) for tax years 2009-2010. We are not in agreement with the RAR and are currently appealing certain disputed issues. Tax years 2011-2013 are currently under audit. Tax years 2014-2016 are open, but not under audit. All other tax years are closed.
With respect to Hospira, Inc., the IRS is auditing 2010-2011 and 2012-2013. Tax years 2014-2015 (through date of acquisition) are open but not under audit. All other tax years are closed. The open tax years and audits for Hospira, Inc. and its subsidiaries are not considered material to Pfizer.
In addition to the open audit years in the U.S., we have open audit years in other major tax jurisdictions, such as Canada (2010-2016), Japan (2015-2016), Europe (2007-2016, primarily reflecting Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain and Germany), Latin America (1998-2016, primarily reflecting Brazil) and Puerto Rico (2010-2016).

All of our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis use Level 2 inputs in the calculation of fair value, except less than 1% that use Level 1 inputs and money market funds measured at net asset value.
(b) 
As of April 3, 2016, trading funds are composed of $204 million of trading equity funds and $56 million of trading debt funds. As of December 31, 2015, trading funds are composed of $185 million of trading equity funds and $102 million of trading debt funds. As of April 3, 2016 and December 31, 2015, trading equity funds of $65 million and $85 million, respectively, are held in trust for benefits attributable to the former Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan.
(c) 
Gross unrealized gains and losses are not significant.
(d) 
Designated as hedging instruments, except for certain contracts used as offsets; namely, foreign currency forward-exchange contracts with fair values of $144 million as of April 3, 2016; and foreign currency forward-exchange contracts with fair values of $136 million as of December 31, 2015.
(e) 
Short-term borrowings include foreign currency short-term borrowings with fair values of $547 million as of December 31, 2015, which are used as hedging instruments. The differences between the estimated fair values and carrying values of held-to-maturity debt securities, private equity securities at cost and short-term borrowings not measured at fair value on a recurring basis were not significant as of April 3, 2016 or December 31, 2015. The fair value measurements of our held-to-maturity debt securities and our short-term borrowings are based on Level 2 inputs, using a market approach. The fair value measurements of our private equity securities carried at cost are based on Level 3 inputs.
(f) 
Our private equity securities represent investments in the life sciences sector.
(g) 
Designated as hedging instruments, except for certain contracts used as offsets; namely, foreign currency swaps with fair values of $188 million and foreign currency forward-exchange contracts with fair values of $117 million as of April 3, 2016; and foreign currency swaps with fair values of $234 million and foreign currency forward-exchange contracts with fair values of $59 million as of December 31, 2015.
(h) 
Some carrying amounts may include adjustments for discount or premium amortization or for the effect of hedging the interest rate fair value risk associated with certain financial liabilities by interest rate swaps.
(i) 
We adopted a new standard as of January 1, 2016 that changed the presentation of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying value of that associated debt, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The update does not impact the measurement or recognition of debt issuance costs. As of April 3, 2016, debt issuance costs are $76 million and are presented as contra-liabilities to Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt ($1 million) and Long-term debt ($75 million). In the December 31, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheet, we have reclassified debt issuance costs of $79 million ($1 million from Other current assets and $79

million from Other noncurrent assets) and have presented them as contra-liabilities to Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt ($1 million) and Long-term debt ($79 million) to conform to the current period presentation.
(j) 
The fair value of our long-term debt (not including the current portion of long-term debt) was $31.8 billion as of April 3, 2016 and $32.7 billion as of December 31, 2015. The fair value measurements for our long-term debt are based on Level 2 inputs, using a market approach. Generally, the difference between the fair value of our long-term debt and the amount reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet is due to a decline in relative market interest rates since the debt issuance.
The following table provides the classification of these selected financial assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets:

(c) 
Includes loan-backed, receivable-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, all of which are investment-grade and in senior positions in the capital structure of the security. Loan-backed securities are collateralized by senior secured obligations of a diverse pool of companies or student loans, and receivable-backed securities are collateralized by credit cards receivables. Mortgage-backed securities are collateralized by diversified pools of residential and commercial mortgages. These securities are valued by third party models that use significant inputs derived from observable market data like prepayment rates, default rates, and recovery rates.

C. Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings include amounts for commercial paper of $6.5 billion as of April 3, 2016 and $4.9 billion as of December 31, 2015.

D. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Foreign Exchange Risk

As of April 3, 2016, the aggregate notional amount of foreign exchange derivative financial instruments hedging or offsetting foreign currency exposures was $36.9 billion. The derivative financial instruments primarily hedge or offset exposures in the euro, Japanese yen and U.K. pound. The maximum length of time over which we are hedging future foreign exchange cash flow relates to our 2.1 billion U.K. pound debt maturing in 2038.

Interest Rate Risk

As of April 3, 2016, the aggregate notional amount of interest rate derivative financial instruments was $20.1 billion. The derivative financial instruments primarily hedge U.S. dollar and euro fixed-rate debt.

For derivative financial instruments in net investment hedge relationships and for foreign currency debt designated as hedging instruments, the effective portion is included in Other comprehensive loss––Foreign currency translation adjustments, net.

For information about the fair value of our derivative financial instruments, and the impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, see Note 7A above. Certain of our derivative instruments are covered by associated credit-support agreements that have credit-risk-related contingent features designed to reduce our counterparties’ exposure to our risk of defaulting on amounts owed. As of April 3, 2016, the aggregate fair value of these derivative instruments that are in a net liability position was $817 million, for which we have posted collateral of $897 million in the normal course of business. These features include the requirement to pay additional collateral in the event of a downgrade in our debt ratings. If there had been a downgrade to below an A rating by Standard and Poors (S&P) or the equivalent rating by Moodys Investors Service, on April 3, 2016, we would have been required to post an additional $13 million of collateral to our counterparties. The collateral advanced receivables are reported in Short-term investments.

E. Credit Risk

On an ongoing basis, we review the creditworthiness of counterparties to our foreign exchange and interest rate agreements and do not expect to incur a significant 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 April 3, 2016, we had $2.2 billion due from a well-diversified, highly rated group (S&P ratings of mostly A or better) of bank counterparties around the world. For details about our investments, see Note 7B above.

In general, there is no requirement for collateral from customers. However, derivative financial instruments are executed under master netting agreements with financial institutions and 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 April 3, 2016, we received cash collateral of $0.9 billion from various counterparties. The collateral primarily supports the approximate fair value of our derivative contracts. With respect to the collateral received, which is included in Cash and cash equivalents, the obligations are reported in Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt.

Amortization

Amortization expense related to finite-lived acquired intangible assets that contribute to our ability to sell, manufacture, research, market and distribute products, compounds and intellectual property is included in Amortization of intangible assets, as these intangible assets benefit multiple business functions. Amortization expense related to intangible assets that are associated with a single function is included in Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses and/or Research and development expenses, as appropriate. Total amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets was $1.0 billion for the first quarter of 2016 and $1.0 billion for the first quarter of 2015.

In-Process Research and Development

For IPR&D assets, the risk of failure is significant and there can be no certainty that these assets ultimately will yield successful products. The nature of the biopharmaceutical business is high-risk and, as such, we expect that many of these IPR&D assets will become impaired and be written off at some time in the future.

(a) 
The decrease in net periodic benefit costs for the three months ended April 3, 2016, compared to the three months ended March 29, 2015, for our U.S. qualified pension plans was primarily driven by (i) lower service and interest costs, resulting from a change in methodology for measuring service and interest costs (see (e) below) and (ii) lower settlement activity. The aforementioned decreases were partially offset by (i) a lower expected return on plan assets resulting from a net decrease of approximately $1.1 billion in the asset base due in part to lump-sum payments made in 2015 to certain terminated colleagues to settle Pfizer’s pension obligation, partially offset by a voluntary contribution of $1.0 billion made at the beginning of January 2016 and (ii) an increase in the amounts amortized for actuarial losses.
(b) 
The decrease in net periodic benefit costs for the three months ended April 3, 2016, compared to the three months ended March 29, 2015, for our U.S. non-qualified pension plans was primarily driven by (i) lower settlement activity and (ii) a decrease in the amounts amortized for actuarial losses resulting from the increase, in 2015, in the discount rate used to determine the benefit obligation.
(c) 
The decrease in net periodic benefit costs for the three months ended April 3, 2016, compared to the three months ended March 29, 2015, for our international pension plans was primarily driven by (i) lower service and interest costs, resulting from foreign exchange rate changes and a change in methodology for measuring service and interest costs (see (e) below), and (ii) a decrease in the amounts amortized for actuarial losses resulting from large gains in 2015, which decreased the plan net loss position, partially offset by (i) a decrease in the expected return on plan assets due to a lower expected rate of return on plan assets, and foreign exchange rates changes.
(d) 
The decrease in net periodic benefit costs for the three months ended April 3, 2016, compared to the three months ended March 29, 2015, for our postretirement plans was primarily driven by (i) lower service and interest costs, resulting from a change in methodology for measuring service and interest costs (see (e) below) and (ii) an increase in prior service credits due to the postretirement medical plan cap changes during 2015. The aforementioned changes were partially offset by (i) a decrease in expected return on plan assets, primarily resulting from a decrease in plan assets reflecting Internal Revenue Code 401(h) reimbursements to Pfizer for eligible 2014 and 2015 prescription drug expenses for certain retirees, and (ii) lower curtailment gains.
(e) 
Effective January 1, 2016, the Company changed the approach used to measure service and interest costs for U.S. and certain international pension and other postretirement benefits. For fiscal 2015, the Company measured service and interest costs utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the bond model or yield curve used to measure the respective plan obligations. For fiscal 2016, we elected to measure service and interest costs by applying the spot rates along the yield curve, or a yield curve implied from the bond model, to the plans' liability cash flows. The Company believes the new approach provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by aligning the timing of the plans’ liability cash flows to the corresponding spot rates on the yield curve. This change does not affect the measurement of our plan obligations. We have accounted for this change as a change in accounting estimate and, accordingly, have accounted for it on a prospective basis. The expected reduction in expense for 2016 associated with this change in estimate is $191 million, which is expected to be recognized evenly over each quarter of the year.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

We and certain of our subsidiaries are subject to numerous contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. For a discussion of our tax contingencies, see Note 5B.

On March 8, 2016, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with Goldman, Sachs & Co. (GS&Co.) to repurchase $5 billion of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, on March 10, 2016, we paid $5 billion to GS&Co. and received an initial delivery of approximately 136 million shares of our common stock from GS&Co. at a price of $29.36 per share, which represented, based on the closing share price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on March 8, 2016, approximately 80% of the notional amount of the accelerated share repurchase agreement. As of April 3, 2016, the common stock received is included in Treasury Stock. At settlement of the agreement, which is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2016, GS&Co. may be required to deliver additional shares of common stock to us, or, under certain circumstances, we may be required to deliver shares of our common stock or may elect to make a cash payment to GS&Co., with the number of shares to be delivered or the amount of such payment, as well as the final average price per share, based on the volume-weighted average price, less a discount, of Pfizer's common stock during the term of the transaction. This agreement was entered into pursuant to our previously announced share repurchase authorization. After giving effect to the accelerated share repurchase agreement, our remaining share-purchase authorization was approximately $11.4 billion at April 3, 2016.

A. Legal Proceedings

Our non-tax contingencies include, but are not limited to, the following:
Patent litigation, which typically involves challenges to the coverage and/or validity of our patents on various products, processes or dosage forms. We are the plaintiff in the vast majority of these actions. An adverse outcome in actions in which we are the plaintiff could result in a loss of patent protection for the drug at issue, a significant loss of revenues from that drug and impairments of any associated assets.
Product liability and other product-related litigation, which can include personal injury, consumer, off-label promotion, securities, antitrust and breach of contract claims, among others, often involves highly complex issues relating to medical causation, label warnings and reliance on those warnings, scientific evidence and findings, actual, provable injury and other matters.
Commercial and other matters, which can include merger-related and product-pricing claims and environmental claims and proceedings, can involve complexities that will vary from matter to matter.
Government investigations, which often are related to the extensive regulation of pharmaceutical companies by national, state and local government agencies in the U.S. and in other countries. 

Certain of these contingencies could result in losses, including damages, fines and/or civil penalties, and/or criminal charges, which could be substantial.

We believe that our claims and defenses in these matters are substantial, but litigation is inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur. We do not believe that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. However, we could incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of certain matters, and such developments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the amounts are accrued and/or our cash flows in the period in which the amounts are paid.

We have accrued for losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Substantially all of our contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss can be complex. Consequently, we are unable to estimate the range of reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts accrued. Our assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but the assessment process relies heavily on estimates and assumptions that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause us to change those estimates and assumptions.

Amounts recorded for legal and environmental contingencies can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

The principal pending matters to which we are a party are discussed below. In determining whether a pending matter is a principal matter, we consider both quantitative and qualitative factors in order to assess materiality, such as, among other things,

25


PFIZER INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

the amount of damages and the nature of any other relief sought in the proceeding, if such damages and other relief are specified; our view of the merits of the claims and of the strength of our defenses; whether the action purports to be a class action and our view of the likelihood that a class will be certified by the court; the jurisdiction in which the proceeding is pending; any experience that we or, to our knowledge, other companies have had in similar proceedings; whether disclosure of the action would be important to a reader of our financial statements, including whether disclosure might change a reader’s judgment about our financial statements in light of all of the information about the Company that is available to the reader; the potential impact of the proceeding on our reputation; and the extent of public interest in the matter. In addition, with respect to patent matters, we consider, among other things, the financial significance of the product protected by the patent. As a result of considering qualitative factors in our determination of principal matters, there are some matters discussed below with respect to which management believes that the likelihood of possible loss in excess of amounts accrued is remote.

A1. Legal Proceedings––Patent Litigation

Like other pharmaceutical companies, we are involved in numerous suits relating to our patents, including but not limited to, those discussed below. Most of the suits 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 drug manufacturer. Also, counterclaims, as well as various independent actions, have been filed alleging that our assertions of, or attempts to enforce, our patent rights with respect to certain products constitute unfair competition and/or violations of 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 are being challenged in various other countries. We are also party to other patent damages suits in various jurisdictions pursuant to which generic drug manufacturers, payers, governments or other parties are seeking damages from us for alleged delay of generic entry related to patent enforcement litigation. Additionally, our licensing and collaboration partners face challenges by generic drug manufacturers to patents covering several of their products that may impact our licenses or co-promotion rights to such products. We are also subject to patent litigation pursuant to which one or more third parties is seeking damages and/or injunctive relief to compensate for the alleged infringement of its patents due to our commercial or other activities. For example, our subsidiary, Hospira, is involved in patent and patent-related disputes over its attempts to bring generic pharmaceutical and biosimilar products to market. If the marketed product is ultimately found to infringe the valid patent rights of a third party, such third party may be awarded significant damages, or we may be prevented from further sales of such product. Such damages may be enhanced as much as three-fold in the event that we or one of our subsidiaries, like Hospira, is found to have willfully infringed the valid patent rights of a third party.

Actions In Which We Are The Plaintiff
EpiPen
In July 2010, King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King), which we acquired in 2011 and is a wholly owned subsidiary, brought a patent-infringement action against Sandoz, Inc., a division of Novartis AG (Sandoz), in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in connection with Sandoz’s abbreviated new drug application filed with the FDA seeking approval to market an epinephrine injectable product. Sandoz is challenging patents, which expire in 2025, covering the next-generation autoinjector for use with epinephrine that is sold under the EpiPen brand name.

Toviaz (fesoterodine)
We have an exclusive, worldwide license to market Toviaz from UCB Pharma GmbH, which owns the patents relating to Toviaz.

Beginning in May 2013, several generic drug manufacturers notified us that they had filed abbreviated new drug applications with the FDA seeking approval to market generic versions of Toviaz and asserting the invalidity, unenforceability and/or non-infringement of all of our patents for Toviaz that are listed in the FDA’s list of Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly referred to as the “Orange Book”. Beginning in June 2013, we filed actions against all of those generic drug manufacturers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, asserting the infringement of five of the patents for Toviaz: three composition-of-matter patents and a method-of-use patent that expire in 2019, and a patent covering salts of fesoterodine that expires in 2022. In June and July 2015, we settled with four of the eight generic defendants. The trial relating to the remaining defendants occurred in July 2015. In April 2016, the District Court held that the patents that were the subject of the lawsuit were valid and infringed.

Tygacil (tigecycline)
In October 2013, we received notice of a Section 505(b)(2) new drug application filed by Fresenius Kabi USA LLC (Fresenius) for a tigecycline injectable product. Fresenius asserts the invalidity and non-infringement of the basic patent for Tygacil that expired in April 2016, the formulation patent for Tygacil that expires in 2029 and the polymorph patent for Tygacil that expires in 2030. In November 2013, we filed suit against Fresenius in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting the

26


PFIZER INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

(UNAUDITED)

validity and infringement of the patents that are the subject of the lawsuit. In November 2015, we settled our claims against Fresenius on terms that permit Fresenius to launch a tigecycline injectable product in the U.S. prior to the expiration of certain of the patents that were the subject of the challenge.
In November 2014, Mylan Laboratories Limited (formerly Agila Specialties Private Limited) (Mylan Laboratories)
