Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Adjusted Income

Adjusted income is an alternative measure of performance used by management to evaluate our overall performance as a supplement to our GAAP Reported performance measures. As such, we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this measure. We use Adjusted income, certain components of Adjusted income and Adjusted diluted EPS to present the results of our major operations––the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of biopharmaceutical products worldwide––prior to considering certain income statement elements as follows:

MeasureDefinitionRelevance of Metrics to Our Business Performance
Adjusted incomeNet income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders(a) before the impact of amortization of intangible assets, certain acquisition-related items, discontinued operations and certain significant items•Provides investors useful information to:◦evaluate the normal recurring operational activities, and their components, on a comparable year-over-year basis◦assist in modeling expected future performance on a normalized basis•Provides investors insight into the way we manage our budgeting and forecasting, how we evaluate and manage our recurring operations and how we reward and compensate our senior management(b)
Adjusted cost of sales, Adjusted selling, informational and administrative expenses, Adjusted research and development expenses and Adjusted other (income)/deductions––netCost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses, Research and development expenses and Other (income)/deductions––net(a), each before the impact of amortization of intangible assets, certain acquisition-related items, discontinued operations and certain significant items, which are components of the Adjusted income measure
Adjusted diluted EPSEPS attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders––diluted(a) before the impact of amortization of intangible assets, certain acquisition-related items, discontinued operations and certain significant items

(a)Most directly comparable GAAP measure.

(b)The short-term incentive plans for substantially all non-sales-force employees worldwide are funded from a pool based on our performance, measured in significant part versus three budgeted financial metrics, as well as performance against certain of our non-financial pipeline metrics, and may be further modified by our Compensation Committee’s assessment of other factors. One of the three financial metrics is Adjusted income (as defined for annual incentive compensation purposes), which accounts for 40% of the bonus pool funding tied to financial performance. Any expenses for acquired IPR&D are included in our non-GAAP Adjusted results but we exclude certain of these expenses for our financial results for annual incentive compensation purposes. Additionally, the payout for performance share awards is determined in part by Adjusted diluted EPS, which is derived from Adjusted income.

Adjusted income and its components and Adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, are limited in their usefulness to investors. Because of their non-standardized definitions, they may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies and are presented to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance. A limitation of these measures is that they provide a view of our operations without including all events during a period, and do not provide a comparable view of our performance to peers. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for their most directly comparable GAAP measures of Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders, components of Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders and EPS attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders—diluted, respectively.

We also recognize that, as internal measures of performance, these measures have limitations, and we do not restrict our performance-management process solely to these measures. We also use other tools designed to achieve the highest levels of performance. For example, our R&D organization has productivity targets, upon which its effectiveness is measured. In addition, total shareholder return, both on an absolute basis and relative to a publicly traded pharmaceutical index, plays a significant role in determining payouts under certain of our incentive compensation plans.

Adjusted Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS

Amortization of Intangible Assets—Adjusted income excludes all amortization of intangible assets.

Acquisition-Related Items—Adjusted income excludes certain acquisition-related items, which are composed of transaction, integration, restructuring charges and additional depreciation costs for business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction and represent costs that were incurred to restructure and integrate businesses as a result of an acquisition. We have made no adjustments for resulting synergies. Acquisition-related items may include purchase accounting impacts such as the incremental charge to cost of sales from the sale of acquired inventory that was written up to fair value, depreciation related to the increase/decrease in fair value of acquired fixed assets, amortization related to the increase in fair value of acquired debt, and the fair value changes for contingent consideration.

Discontinued Operations—Adjusted income excludes the results of discontinued operations, as well as any related gains or losses on the disposal of such operations. We believe that this presentation is meaningful to investors because, while we review our product portfolio for strategic fit with our operations, we do not build or run our business with the intent to discontinue parts of our business. Restatements due to discontinued operations do not impact compensation or change the Adjusted income measure for the compensation in respect of the restated periods, but are presented for consistency across all periods.

Certain Significant Items—Adjusted income excludes certain significant items representing substantive and/or unusual items that are evaluated individually on a quantitative and qualitative basis. Certain significant items may be highly variable and difficult to predict. Furthermore, in some cases it is reasonably possible that they could reoccur in future periods. For example, although major non-acquisition-related cost-reduction programs are specific to an event or goal with a defined term, we may have subsequent programs based on reorganizations of the business, cost productivity or in response to generic or biosimilar entry or economic conditions. Legal charges to resolve litigation are also related to specific cases, which are facts and circumstances specific and, in some cases, may also be the result of litigation matters at acquired companies that were inestimable, not probable or unresolved at the date of acquisition, or legal matters generally related to divested products or businesses. Gains and losses on equity securities and pension and postretirement actuarial remeasurement gains and losses have a very high degree of inherent market volatility, which we do not control and cannot predict with any level of certainty, and we do not believe including these gains and losses assists investors in understanding our business or is reflective of our core operations and business. Unusual items represent items that are not part of our ongoing business; items that, either as a result of their nature or size, we would not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis; items that would be non-recurring; or items that relate to products we no longer sell. See the Reconciliations of GAAP Reported to Non-GAAP Adjusted information—Certain Line Items below for a non-inclusive list of certain significant items and the Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Adjusted Income section within MD&A of our 2025 Form 10-K.

ANALYSIS OF THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

Six Months Ended
(MILLIONS)June 28,2026June 29,2025Drivers of change
Cash provided by/(used in):
Operating activities$3,450$1,753The change was driven mainly by the timing of receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business and a change in net income adjusted for non-cash items, including the impact of intangible asset impairments, partially offset by a net gain on the sale of our investment in ViiV.
Investing activities$2,891$7,225The change was driven mainly by non-recurrence of $6.3 billion proceeds from the sale of the remaining portion of our previous investment in Haleon, partially offset by $1.9 billion proceeds from the sale of our investment in ViiV.
Financing activities$(6,519)$(8,423)The change was driven mainly by a $3.0 billion decrease in net repayments of short-term borrowings and a $2.5 billion decrease in repayments of long-term debt, partially offset by non-recurrence of a $3.7 billion long term debt issuance.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND MARKET RISK

We believe that with our ongoing operating cash flows, together with our financial assets, access to capital markets, revolving credit agreement, and available lines of credit, we have and will maintain the ability to meet our liquidity needs to support ongoing operations, our capital allocation objectives, and our contractual and other obligations for the foreseeable future. For information about the sources and uses of our funds and capital resources, as well as our operating cash flows, see our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity, and the Analysis of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows section within MD&A. For information on our money market funds, available-for sale-debt securities and long-term debt, see Note 7.

For information about our diverse sources of funds, off-balance sheet arrangements, contractual and other obligations, global economic conditions and market risk, see the Analysis of Financial Condition, Liquidity, Capital Resources and Market Risk section within MD&A of our 2025 Form 10-K. For more information on guarantees and indemnifications, see Note 12B.

Credit Ratings––The cost and availability of financing are influenced by credit ratings, and an increase or decrease in our credit rating could have a beneficial or adverse effect on financing. Our long-term debt is rated high-quality by both S&P and Moody’s.

As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the following ratings have been assigned to our commercial paper and senior unsecured long-term debt:
NAME OF RATING AGENCYPfizer Short-Term RatingPfizer Long-Term RatingOutlook/Watch
Moody’sP-1A2Stable Outlook
S&PA-1AStable Outlook

These ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold securities and the ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organizations. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Debt Capacity––Lines of Credit––As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, we had access to a $7.0 billion committed revolving credit facility maturing in October 2030, which may be used for general corporate purposes including to support our global commercial paper borrowings. In addition to the revolving credit facility, our lenders have provided us an additional $226 million in lines of credit, essentially all expiring within one year. Essentially all lines of credit were unused as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.

Capital Allocation Framework––Our capital allocation framework is designed to enhance long-term shareholder value and is based on three core pillars: reinvesting in the business, maintaining and, over the long term, growing our dividend, and in the future, the potential to make share repurchases after de-levering our balance sheet. Given the anticipated unfavorable impact from patent-based or regulatory exclusivity expiries over the next few years, we expect leverage to remain around current levels, or modestly higher, through this transition period. Over time, we expect to continue to de-lever in a prudent manner in order to maintain a balanced capital allocation strategy.

Dividends––In April 2026, our BOD declared a dividend of $0.43 per share, paid on June 12, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 8, 2026. In June 2026, our BOD declared a dividend of $0.43 per share, payable on September 1, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 24, 2026.

Common Stock Purchases—As of June 28, 2026, our remaining share-purchase authorization was $3.3 billion, with no repurchases in first six months of 2026. See Note 12 in our 2025 Form 10-K for more information on our publicly announced share-purchase plan.

Sale of Investment—On March 31, 2026, which fell in our second fiscal quarter of 2026, Pfizer completed the exit of its 11.7% investment in ViiV and received $1.875 billion in cash proceeds. See Notes 2 and 4.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ are identified below, as well as those discussed in the Item 1A. Risk Factors section in our 2025 Form 10-K and within MD&A. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The occurrence of any of the risks identified below, in the Item 1A. Risk Factors section in our 2025 Form 10-K or within MD&A, or other risks currently unknown, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, or we may be required to increase our accruals for contingencies. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider the following to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties:
