We and our collaboration partner, BioNTech, have entered into agreements to supply pre-specified doses of Comirnaty with multiple developed and emerging nations around the world and are continuing to deliver doses of Comirnaty under such agreements. This includes supply agreements entered into in November 2020 and February and May 2021 with the EC for Comirnaty on behalf of the different EU member states and certain other countries. Each EU member state submits its own Comirnaty vaccine order to us and is responsible for payment pursuant to terms of the supply agreements negotiated by the EC. In May 2023, we and BioNTech amended our contract with the EC to deliver COVID-19 vaccines to the EU. The amended agreement includes rephasing of delivery of doses annually through 2026 and an aggregate volume reduction, providing additional flexibility for those EU member states who agreed to the amended agreement. The EC will maintain access to future adapted COVID-19 vaccines and the ability to donate doses, in alignment with the original agreement.

In 2022 and 2023, we had entered into agreements to supply pre-specified treatment courses of Paxlovid with government and government sponsored customers in multiple developed and emerging nations around the world, which represented most Paxlovid revenues in 2022 and 2023, while commercialization began in some markets in 2023. In October 2023, we announced an amended agreement with the U.S. government, which facilitated the transition of Paxlovid to traditional commercial markets in the U.S. starting in November 2023, with prices negotiated with commercial payors and a copay assistance program for eligible privately insured patients, as the U.S. government began to discontinue the distribution of EUA-labeled Paxlovid. We ensured commercial readiness by providing NDA-labeled commercial supply by the end of 2023. However, EUA-labeled Paxlovid remained available free-of-charge to all eligible patients until the end of 2023, and therefore, there was only minimal uptake of NDA-labeled commercial product before January 1, 2024. In connection with this agreement, we recorded a non-cash revenue reversal of $3.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023, of which a portion was associated with sales recorded in 2022, related to the expected return of an estimated 6.5 million treatment courses of EUA-labeled U.S. government inventory. In the first quarter of 2024, we recorded a non-cash favorable final adjustment of $771 million to reflect 5.1 million EUA-labeled treatment courses returned through February 29, 2024, which were converted to a volume-based credit that supports continued access to Paxlovid through a U.S. government patient assistance program operated by Pfizer. In the third quarter of 2024, in connection with this amended agreement, we also supplied at no cost to the U.S. government or taxpayers a U.S. SNS of 1.0 million treatment courses to enable future pandemic preparedness through 2028, and recorded revenue of $442 million. While we are recognizing revenue as these treatment courses are delivered, there is no cash consideration for these treatment courses.

The following summarizes revenue, as a percentage of Total revenues, for our three largest U.S. wholesaler customers and the U.S. government, which was concentrated in our Biopharma operating segment:
Year Ended December 31,
202420232022
McKesson, Inc.23%16%8%
Cencora, Inc.17%12%5%
Cardinal Health, Inc.14%10%4%
U.S. government(a)6%—23%

(a) The decrease in revenues from the U.S. government as a percentage of Total revenues for 2024 and 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily due to the transition of Comirnaty and Paxlovid to commercial market sales in the second half of 2023 as well as the revenue reversal for Paxlovid in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Collectively, our three largest U.S. wholesaler customers represented 34% and 42% of total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Accounts receivable from the U.S. government as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were not material to our consolidated financial statements.

(a)Reflects Alliance revenues and product revenues.

(b)2024 includes (i) a $771 million favorable final adjustment recorded in the first quarter to the estimated non-cash revenue reversal of $3.5 billion recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023, reflecting 5.1 million EUA-labeled treatment courses returned by the U.S. government through February 29, 2024 versus the estimated 6.5 million treatment courses that were expected to be returned as of December 31, 2023, and (ii) $442 million of revenue recorded in the third quarter in connection with the creation of the U.S. SNS. 2023 includes a non-cash revenue reversal of $3.5 billion recorded in the fourth quarter, of which a portion was associated with sales recorded in 2022, related to the expected return of an estimated 6.5 million treatment courses of EUA-labeled U.S. government inventory.

(c)2024 includes $129 million related to a one-time sales true-up settlement agreement with our commercialization partner.

(d)In September 2024, we announced our voluntary withdrawal of all lots of Oxbryta for the treatment of sickle cell disease in all markets where it is approved, as well as the discontinuation of expanded access programs worldwide, based on the totality of clinical data that indicated at that time the overall benefit of Oxbryta no longer outweighs the risk in the approved sickle cell patient population. The data suggest an imbalance in vaso-occlusive crises and fatal events, which requires further assessment that remains ongoing.

(e)Includes, among other Hospital products, amounts previously presented as All other Anti-infectives and Ig Portfolio.

(f)Primarily reflects Alliance revenues and royalty revenues.

(g)Biosimilars are highly similar versions of approved and authorized biological medicines. Oncology biosimilars primarily include Retacrit, Ruxience, Zirabev, Trazimera and Nivestym.

(h)Erbitux is a registered trademark of ImClone LLC.

(i)PC1 includes revenues from our contract manufacturing and our active pharmaceutical ingredient sales operation, as well as revenues related to our manufacturing and supply agreements with legacy Pfizer businesses/partnerships.

Remaining Performance Obligations––Contracted revenue expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for firm orders in long-term contracts to supply Comirnaty and Paxlovid to our customers totaled approximately $4 billion and $1 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2024, which includes amounts received in advance and deferred, as well as amounts that will be invoiced as we deliver these products to our customers in future periods. Of these amounts, current contract terms provide for expected delivery of product with contracted revenue from 2025 through 2028, the timing of which may be renegotiated. Remaining performance obligations are based on foreign exchange rates as of the end of our fiscal fourth quarter of 2024 and exclude arrangements with an original expected contract duration of less than one year. Remaining performance obligations associated with contracts for other products and services were not significant as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.

Deferred Revenues––Our deferred revenues primarily relate to advance payments received or receivable from various government or government sponsored customers for supply of Paxlovid and Comirnaty. The deferred revenues related to Paxlovid and Comirnaty totaled $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2024, with $1.4 billion and $785 million recorded in current liabilities and noncurrent liabilities, respectively. The deferred revenues related to Paxlovid and Comirnaty totaled $5.1 billion as of December 31, 2023, with $2.6 billion and $2.5 billion recorded in current liabilities and noncurrent liabilities, respectively. The decrease in Paxlovid and Comirnaty deferred revenues during full-year 2024 was primarily driven by amounts recognized in Product revenues as we delivered the products to our customers (including $442 million associated with the U.S. SNS for Paxlovid) as well as the aforementioned $771 million favorable final adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2024 for Paxlovid, partially offset by additional advance payments received in 2024 as we entered into amended contracts. During 2024, we recognized revenue of approximately $2.9 billion that was included in the balance of Paxlovid and Comirnaty deferred revenues as of December 31, 2023. The Paxlovid and Comirnaty deferred revenues as of December 31, 2024 will be recognized in Product revenues proportionately as we transfer control of the products to our customers and satisfy our performance obligations under the contracts, with the amounts included in current liabilities expected to be recognized in Product revenues within the next 12 months, and the amounts included in noncurrent liabilities expected to be recognized in Product revenues from December 2025 (which falls in our international first quarter of 2026) through 2028. Deferred revenues associated with contracts for other products were not significant as of December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
