Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Tables present dollars and shares in millions, except per-share data, and numbers may not add due to rounding)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Implementation of New Financial Accounting Standards
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, therefore, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). In our opinion, the consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (including those that are normal and recurring) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. We issued our financial statements by filing them with the Securities and Exchange Commission and have evaluated subsequent events up to the time of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
All per-share amounts, unless otherwise noted in the footnotes, are presented on a diluted basis; that is, based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of incremental shares from our stock-based compensation programs, if dilutive.
We operate as a single operating segment engaged in the discovery, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sales of pharmaceutical products worldwide. A global research and development organization and a supply chain organization are responsible for the discovery, development, manufacturing, and supply of our products. Our commercial organizations market, distribute, and sell the products. The business is also supported by global corporate staff functions. See Note 11 for additional information.
Implementation of New Financial Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requires disaggregation of specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements and a qualitative description of the remaining expense amounts not separately disaggregated. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and requires prospective application with the option to apply it retrospectively. We intend to adopt this standard in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2027. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this standard on our disclosures.
Note 2: Revenue
The following table summarizes our revenue recognized in our consolidated condensed statements of operations:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| Net product revenue | $22,650 | $16,331 | $62,506 | $42,658 |
| Collaboration and other revenue | 1,747 | 1,270 | 4,664 | 3,229 |
| Revenue | $24,397 | $17,601 | $67,170 | $45,887 |
We recognize revenue primarily from two different types of contracts, product sales to customers (net product revenue) and collaborations and other arrangements. Revenue recognized from collaborations and other arrangements includes our share of profits from the collaborations, as well as royalties, upfront, and milestone payments we receive under these types of contracts. See Note 3 for additional information related to our collaborations and other arrangements. Collaboration and other revenue disclosed above includes the revenue resulting from our collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim, as well as the sale of product rights. Substantially all of the remainder of collaboration and other revenue is related to contracts accounted for as contracts with customers.
Adjustments to Revenue
Adjustments to revenue recognized as a result of changes in estimates for our most significant United States (U.S.) sales returns, rebates, and discounts liability balances for products shipped in previous periods were 2 percent of U.S. revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and less than 1 percent of U.S. revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Note 3: Collaborations and Other Arrangements
We often enter into collaborative and other arrangements to develop and commercialize drug candidates or to sell the rights of a product. See Note 2 for a discussion of our recognition of revenue from our collaborations and other arrangements.
Collaborative activities may include research and development, marketing and selling, manufacturing, and distribution for which we may receive from or pay to the collaboration partner expense reimbursements. Operating expenses for costs incurred pursuant to these arrangements are reported in their respective expense line item, net of any payments due to or reimbursements due from our collaboration partners, with such reimbursements being recognized at the time the party becomes obligated to pay. Each arrangement is unique in nature, and our more significant arrangements are discussed below.
Boehringer Ingelheim Collaboration
We and Boehringer Ingelheim have a global agreement to jointly develop and commercialize a portfolio of compounds. Boehringer Ingelheim's Jardiance product family, which includes Glyxambi, Synjardy, and Trijardy XR, is the significant product family included in the collaboration.
For the Jardiance product family in the most significant markets, which remains in the collaboration through December 31, 2028, we receive a share of net sales depending on performance of the product, which we recognize as collaboration and other revenue. The following table summarizes our revenue recognized:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| Jardiance | $1,578 | $959 | $3,924 | $2,663 |
We recognized sales-based milestones for Jardiance of $410 million and $910 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared with $200 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we also recognized a one-time benefit of $370 million for Jardiance. As of September 30, 2026, no further sales-based milestones remain to be earned under the collaboration.
Ebglyss
We have a license agreement with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd and Genentech, Inc. (collectively, Roche), which provides us the worldwide development and commercialization rights to lebrikizumab, which is branded and trademarked as Ebglyss. Roche receives tiered royalty payments on worldwide net sales ranging in percentages from high single digits to high teens, which we recognize as cost of sales. As of September 30, 2026, Roche is eligible to receive additional payments from us, including up to $900 million in potential sales-based milestones.
We have a license agreement with Almirall, S.A. (Almirall), under which Almirall licensed the rights to develop and commercialize Ebglyss, for the treatment or prevention of dermatology indications, including, but not limited to, atopic dermatitis, in Europe. We receive tiered royalty payments on net sales in Europe ranging in percentages from low double digits to low twenties, which we recognize as collaboration and other revenue. As of September 30, 2026, we are eligible to receive additional payments up to $1.2 billion in a series of sales-based milestones.
Foundayo
We have a license agreement with Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Chugai), which provides us the worldwide development and commercialization rights to orforglipron, which is branded and trademarked as Foundayo. In addition to milestone payment rights which are not material, Chugai receives tiered royalty payments on worldwide net sales ranging in percentages from mid single digits to low teens, which we recognize as cost of sales.
Note 4: Acquisitions
We engage in various forms of business development activities to enhance or refine our product pipeline, including acquisitions, collaborations, investments, and licensing arrangements. In connection with these arrangements, our partners may be entitled to future royalties and/or commercial milestones based on sales if the products are approved for commercialization and/or milestones based on the successful progress of compounds through the development process. We account for each arrangement as either a business combination or an asset acquisition in accordance with GAAP.
Business Combinations
When an acquisition met the definition of a business under GAAP, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date in our consolidated condensed financial statements. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets was recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of the acquisition are included in our consolidated condensed financial statements from the date of acquisition.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, our significant acquisitions that were accounted for as business combinations were Kelonia Therapeutics, Inc. (Kelonia), Centessa Pharmaceuticals plc (Centessa), and Ventyx Biosciences, Inc. (Ventyx) and are summarized in the following table:
| Kelonia | Centessa | Ventyx | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acquisition date | June 25, 2026 | June 24, 2026 | March 4, 2026 |
| Business description | In vivo chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies | Orexin receptor 2 agonists for sleep-wake disorders | Oral therapies for inflammatory-mediated diseases |
| Estimated fair value as of acquisition date: | |||
| Cash | $46 | $233 | $120 |
| Acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) | 4,695 | 6,058 | 977 |
| Goodwill(1) | 1,052 | 1,655 | 232 |
| Deferred tax liabilities, net | (822) | (1,279) | (150) |
| Other assets and liabilities, net | (74) | (74) | (1) |
| Acquisition date fair value of consideration | 4,897 | 6,593 | 1,178 |
| Less: | |||
| Cash acquired | (46) | (233) | (120) |
| Fair value of contingent consideration | (1,765) | (402) | N/A |
| Cash consideration paid, net of cash acquired | $3,086 | $5,958 | $1,058 |
| Contingent consideration(2) | $3,750 | $1,542 | N/A |
| Primary acquired IPR&D intangible | KLN-1010 | ORX750 | VTX3232 |
(1)The goodwill recognized from these acquisitions is primarily attributable to future unidentified projects and products, the assembled workforce for the companies, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities, which is not deductible for tax purposes.
(2) These amounts represent the maximum amount of potential payments and are subject to the achievement of certain specified milestones. See Note 8 for additional information related to contingent consideration amounts.
N/A - Not applicable
We are in the process of determining fair values and tax bases of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the identification and valuation of intangible assets and tax exposures, as our access to information was limited prior to each acquisition. The final determination of these amounts will be completed as soon as practicable but no later than one year from each acquisition date. The final determination may result in asset and liability fair values and tax bases that differ from the preliminary estimates and require changes to the preliminary amounts recognized.
Asset Acquisitions
Upon each asset acquisition, the cost allocated to acquired IPR&D was immediately expensed as acquired IPR&D if the compound had no alternative future use. Milestone payment obligations incurred prior to regulatory approval of the compound were expensed as acquired IPR&D when the event triggering an obligation to pay the milestone occurred. We recognized acquired IPR&D charges of $4.2 billion and $7.5 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $656 million and $2.4 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.
The following table summarizes our significant acquired IPR&D charges during 2026 and 2025:
| Counterparty | Compound, Therapy, or Asset | Acquisition Month | Phase of Development(1) | Acquired IPR&D Charge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AtaiBeckley Inc. (AtaiBeckley) | BPL-003 (mebufotenin benzoate), synthetic form of 5-MeO-DMT for treatment-resistant depression | September 2026 | Phase 2 | $2,610 |
| Curevo Inc. (Curevo) | Amezosvatein, adjuvanted subunit vaccine for the prevention of shingles | July 2026 | Phase 2 | 954 |
| Ajax Therapeutics, Inc. (Ajax) | AJ1-11095, oral, Type II JAK2 inhibitor for the treatment of myelofibrosis and polycythemia vera | June 2026 | Phase 1 | 909 |
| Orna Therapeutics, Inc. (Orna) | ORN-252, CD19 targeting in vivo CAR-T therapy designed to treat B cell-driven autoimmune diseases | May 2026 | Phase 1 | 1,233 |
| SiteOne Therapeutics, Inc.(SiteOne) | STC-004, Nav1.8 inhibitor for the treatment of pain | July 2025 | Phase 1 | 494 |
| Scorpion Therapeutics, Inc. (Scorpion) | STX-478, PI3Kα inhibitor for the treatment of breast cancer and other advanced solid tumors | March 2025 | Phase 1 | 1,412 |
(1) The phase of development presented is as of the date of the arrangement and represents the phase of development of the most advanced asset acquired, where applicable.
Subsequent Events
In October 2026, we acquired Merida Biosciences, Inc. (Merida) for up to $2.9 billion in aggregate, inclusive of an upfront payment and additional potential payments based upon the achievement of certain clinical and regulatory milestones. Our access to information was limited prior to the acquisition. As a consequence, we are in the process of determining the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the associated accounting treatment.
Note 5: Asset Impairment, Restructuring, and Other Special Charges
Asset impairment, restructuring, and other special charges recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $303 million and $1.3 billion, respectively. The charges recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 related to a partial impairment of an intangible asset associated with a molecule in development. In addition, charges recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 included charges related to acquisition and integration costs associated with the closing of our acquisitions and charges related to litigation matters.
Asset impairment, restructuring, and other special charges recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $365 million and $400 million, respectively, primarily related to a litigation charge and acquisition and integration costs associated with the closing of our acquisitions.
See Note 4 and Note 9 for additional information related to our acquisitions and litigation matters, respectively.
Note 6: Income Taxes
The effective tax rates were 23.3 percent and 21.0 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 22.8 percent and 19.8 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, primarily driven by the unfavorable tax impact of nondeductible acquired IPR&D charges, with a larger impact occurring in 2026. The 2025 effective tax rates were also unfavorably impacted by U.S. tax law changes.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, prepaid expenses included prepaid taxes of $15.1 billion and $12.9 billion, respectively.
In October 2026, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced its examination of tax years 2022-2024. The IRS examination of tax years 2019-2021 remains ongoing. For tax years 2016-2018, we are pursuing competent authority assistance through the Mutual Agreement Procedure (MAP) process for the pricing of certain intercompany transactions. The resolution of these audit periods will likely extend beyond the next 12 months.

Debt
Below are the details of our issuance of long-term debt in 2026. The cash proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of outstanding commercial paper and the funding of a portion of the upfront cash consideration and related fees and expenses payable in connection with our acquisitions of Centessa and Kelonia.
| Date of Issuance | Amount | Maturity | Stated Interest Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 2026 | $9,000 | 2028-2066 | 4.150%-5.700%(1) |
(1)Included in the 2028 and 2029 tranches are an aggregate $1.3 billion of floating-rate notes, with interest reset and paid quarterly using Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 0.350 and 0.460 percent, respectively.
In August 2026, we renewed our 364-day credit facility, which continues to provide $6.0 billion of capacity and is available to support our commercial paper program. We have not drawn against the 364-day facility as of September 30, 2026.
In August 2026, we refinanced our multi-year credit facility, which continues to provide $4.0 billion of capacity and is available to support our commercial paper program. Our multi-year credit facility will now expire in August 2031. We have not drawn against the multi-year facility as of September 30, 2026.
The following table summarizes the carrying amount and fair value using Level 2 inputs for our long-term debt:
| September 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CarryingAmount | Fair Value | CarryingAmount | Fair Value | |
| Long-term debt, including current portion | $49,503 | $43,687 | $42,503 | $39,799 |
Contingent Consideration
Contingent consideration is additional consideration payable as a result of an acquisition accounted for as a business combination that is contingent on the achievement of certain development, success-based regulatory, or sales-based milestones. Contingent consideration liabilities are carried at fair value, estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis and Level 3 inputs. These inputs include projections of expected cash payments associated with the agreed-upon milestones based primarily on probabilities of technical success, timing of the potential milestone events for the compounds, and estimated discount rates. The following table summarizes the fair value for our contingent consideration liabilities:
| September 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Other current liabilities | $818 | $34 |
| Other noncurrent liabilities | 2,070 | 217 |
During 2026, the increase in contingent consideration liabilities primarily related to our acquisition of Kelonia. See Note 4 for additional information.
Hedging
As a global company, we face foreign currency risk exposure from fluctuating currency exchange rates, primarily the U.S. dollar against the euro. We manage foreign currency risk primarily through the use of foreign currency debt and foreign currency forward contracts. Our foreign currency-denominated notes designated as accounting hedges had carrying amounts of $5.0 billion and $6.0 billion as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The following table summarizes the aggregate outstanding notional amounts of our foreign currency forward contracts in U.S. dollar equivalent:
| September 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Purchase | Sell | Purchase | Sell | |
| Designated as accounting hedges | $5,712 | $— | $67 | $— |

Note 9: Contingencies
We are and may become involved in various lawsuits, claims, government investigations and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the course of our business, including patent, environmental, commercial, contractual, licensing, employment, health and safety, consumer protection, pricing, access, consumer, sales and marketing, product liability, insurance, antitrust, securities, and regulatory compliance matters, among others. Such matters may involve inquiries from or disputes with various types of parties, including governments, regulatory agencies, competitors, customers, suppliers, service providers, licensees, employees, or shareholders, among others. We cannot predict the final outcome of these proceedings, and while we intend to vigorously prosecute or defend our position as appropriate, there can be no assurance that we will be successful or obtain any requested relief. Matters often develop over a long period of time and expectations can change as a result of new findings, rulings, appeals, settlements, legal or regulatory changes, or other factors. From time to time we may discontinue or settle and compromise matters as appropriate in our best interest.
For proceedings in which we are named as defendants, unless otherwise noted, we cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential exposure or the range of possible loss in excess of amounts accrued; however, we believe that the resolution of all such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or liquidity, but could possibly be material to our consolidated results of operations in any one accounting period.
Litigation accruals and environmental liabilities and any related estimated insurance recoverables are reflected on a gross basis as liabilities and assets, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. We accrue for estimated exposures to the extent they are both probable and reasonably estimable based on the then available information. We accrue for certain unfiled product liability claims to the extent we can formulate a reasonable estimate of their exposure. We estimate these exposures based primarily on historical claims experience and data regarding product usage. Legal defense costs expected to be incurred in connection with significant liability loss contingencies are accrued when both probable and reasonably estimable.
Because of the nature of pharmaceutical products, it is possible that we could become subject to large numbers of additional product liability and related claims in the future. Due to a very restrictive market for litigation liability insurance, we are predominantly self-insured for litigation liability losses for all our currently and previously marketed products.
Patent Matters
In the course of our business, we are party to actions and proceedings involving third parties that seek to challenge, invalidate, or circumvent our patents and patent applications relating to our products, product candidates, and technologies, including the matter described below.
Emgality Patent Litigation
In September 2018, Teva Pharmaceuticals International GmbH and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (collectively, Teva) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that Lilly's launch and continued sales of Emgality infringed various claims inthree Teva patents. In November 2022, following a trial, a jury returned a verdict in favor of Teva. In September 2023, the trial court overruled the jury verdict, found all asserted claims invalid, and entered judgment in Lilly's favor. In April 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued an opinion reversing the trial court's finding that the patents are invalid and remanding to the district court, and we recognized a charge related to the matter during the three months ended March 31, 2026. In September 2026, the Federal Circuit denied our petition for rehearing en banc.
Verzenio Hatch-Waxman Litigation
In April 2026, Lilly received notice that Cipla Ltd. had filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) seeking approval for a generic version of Verzenio (abemaciclib) tablets before expiration of the compound patent listed in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Orange Book. In June 2026, Lilly filed a patent infringement action against Cipla Ltd. and its subsidiary Cipla USA Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Trial is scheduled for May 2028.
Tirzepatide Hatch-Waxman Litigation
In July 2026, Lilly received notice that multiple generic companies had filed ANDAs seeking approval to market generic versions of Mounjaro and/or Zepbound before the expiration of some or all of the patents listed for those products in the FDA’s Orange Book. In August 2026, we filed patent infringement actions against these companies in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
Environmental Matters
We are party to environmental proceedings and other matters, and are responsible under various federal, state and foreign laws, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, commonly known as "Superfund," for certain costs of investigating and/or remediating environmental contingencies resulting from past activity at our current or former sites or waste disposal or reprocessing facilities operated by third parties.
Pricing Matters
340B Litigation and Investigations
Since 2021, we have been involved in litigation, administrative proceedings, and other inquiries related to the 340B program. Various state and 340B provider plaintiffs have filed lawsuits against us, and in some cases other manufacturers and third parties, relating to the 340B program, including our policies regarding contract pharmacies, submission of claims data, and our compliance with state laws purporting to regulate the 340B program. The complaints in these lawsuits assert a variety of claims, including antitrust, consumer protection, unfair or deceptive trade practices, unfair competition, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, and violations of state statutes governing 340B pricing. The lawsuits are pending in various federal courts. The plaintiffs generally seek damages, civil penalties, and/or injunctive relief, and are at various stages in the litigation process. We are also involved in other ongoing litigation and inquiries related to the 340B program, including lawsuits Lilly has filed challenging aspects of the 340B program.
Insulin Pricing Litigation
Since 2017, various plaintiffs, including consumers, states and state attorneys general, counties, municipalities, Native American tribes, school districts, wholesalers, third-party payers, and others, have filed lawsuits, including putative class actions, against us, other manufacturers, pharmacy benefit managers, and others, relating to the pricing of insulin medications, and in some cases other diabetes medications, and rebates paid by manufacturers to pharmacy benefit managers. The complaints in the various lawsuits assert a variety of claims, including among others consumer protection, unfair or deceptive trade practices, fraud, false advertising, unjust enrichment, civil conspiracy, racketeering, antitrust, and unfair competition claims. Most cases have been coordinated or consolidated for pretrial proceedings in a multidistrict litigation (MDL) pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The lawsuits are at various stages in the litigation process.
Pricing Investigations
We have been subject to various investigations and received subpoenas, civil investigative demands, information requests, interrogatories, and other inquiries from various governmental entities related to the pricing and sale of our medications, and/or calculations of average manufacturer price and best price. These include subpoenas, civil investigative demands, or information requests from the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, and attorneys general from various states and the District of Columbia.
To the extent the foregoing governmental entities have not filed lawsuits, we are cooperating with the various investigations, subpoenas, and inquiries.
Other Matters
Actos Litigation
We, along with Takeda Chemical Industries, Ltd. and Takeda affiliates (collectively, Takeda), are named as defendants in a third-party payer class action in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The plaintiffs allege that bladder cancer risk was concealed from them and claim that as a result they and a class of third-party payers are entitled to recover money paid for Actos prescriptions. Our agreement with Takeda calls for Takeda to defend and indemnify us against losses and expenses with respect to U.S. litigation arising out of the manufacture, use, or sale of Actos and other related expenses in accordance with the terms of the agreement. In October 2025, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment, which remains pending.
Mounjaro, Trulicity, and Zepbound Product Liability Litigation
Since August 2023, various plaintiffs have filed lawsuits against us, Novo Nordisk A/S, and other related entities, alleging various injuries following purported use of incretin medicines, including Mounjaro, Trulicity, and Zepbound. The complaints assert a variety of claims and generally seek damages and/or other relief. Most of these lawsuits in the United States have been coordinated or consolidated for pretrial proceedings in two federal MDLs: one focused on alleged gastrointestinal injuries, and the other relating to claims of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Both MDLs are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. There are also similar proceedings pending against Lilly in Indiana and other state courts. In addition to the cases in the United States, there aretwo class action petitions in Israel andtwo class action petitions in Canada alleging various injuries and claims.
Health Choice Alliance
In October 2019, a relator filed aqui tam lawsuit against us in Texas state court asserting claims under the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act (TMFPA) based on allegations about certain patient support programs related to three of our products. The relator sought to recover the value of payments by the Texas Medicaid Program for these products, as well as civil penalties and other relief. In August 2025, the relator purported to dismiss the first lawsuit and filed a second lawsuit in a different Texas state court adding the State of Texas as a party and expanding claims under the TMFPA to fifteen of our products. We are opposing the relator's purported dismissal of the first lawsuit.

Note 11: Segment Information
We operate as a single reportable segment engaged in the discovery, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sales of pharmaceutical products worldwide. A global research and development organization and a supply chain organization are responsible for the discovery, development, manufacturing, and supply of our products. Our commercial organizations market, distribute, and sell the products. The business is also supported by global corporate staff functions. Our determination that we operate as a single segment is consistent with the nature of our operations and the financial information regularly reviewed by the chief executive officer, in his capacity as the chief operating decision maker (CODM), for the purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting for future periods.
Our purpose is to unite caring with discovery to create medicines that make life better for people around the world. Our long-term success is significantly dependent on our ability to research and develop innovative medicines. The CODM uses consolidated net income to assess performance of our company, ensuring that we are investing in future research and development while efficiently delivering products to patients. The CODM allocates research and development resources based upon several factors, including the likelihood of technical success, unmet medical needs, and the viability of commercial success. A significant component of the CODM’s decision-making process is to ensure a balanced investment in our research and development portfolio to drive near-term success and sustain for the long-term.
