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

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the 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 (GAAP) can be condensed or omitted. Balance sheet amounts and operating results for subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. are as of and for the three-month and six-month periods ended May 25, 2003 and May 26, 2002. We made certain reclassifications to the 2002 condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation.

We are responsible for the unaudited financial statements included in this document. The financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results.

On April 16, 2003, we completed our acquisition of Pharmacia Corporation (Pharmacia) in a stock for stock transaction accounted for under the purchase method of accounting - see note 2, "Pharmacia Acquisition". As of the date of acquisition, April 16, 2003, the Pharmacia assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as results of Pharmacia's operations as of and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 29, 2003, are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements. About 1 1/2 months of results of operations of Pharmacia's international operations and about 2 1/2 months of results of operations of Pharmacia's U.S. operations are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six-month periods ended June 29, 2003.

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 the same as those for the full year.

The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with:

  • consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Pfizer's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002;
  • consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Pharmacia's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002; and
  • unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002 included in Pfizer's Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated June 30, 2003.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , we elected to account for our stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees . The exercise price of stock options granted equals the market price on the date of grant. There is no recorded expense related to grants of stock options.

The weighted-average fair value per stock option granted was $7.77 for the three months ended June 29, 2003, $12.58 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, $7.35 for the six months ended June 29, 2003 and $12.58 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. We estimated the fair values, as required under GAAP, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, modified for dividends and using the assumptions below. The Black-Scholes model is a trading option-pricing model that neither considers the non-traded nature of employee stock options, nor the restrictions on trading, the lack of transferability or the ability of employees to forfeit the options prior to expiry. If the model adequately permitted considerations of the unique characteristics of employee stock options, the resulting estimate of the fair value of the stock options could be different.

Three Months Ended — June 29, 2003 June 30, 2002 Six Months Ended — June 29, 2003 June 30, 2002
Expected dividend yield 3.23% 1.90% 3.15% 1.90%
Risk-free interest rate 2.86% 4.35% 2.75% 4.35%
Expected stock price volatility 33.41% 32.41% 33.05% 32.41%
Expected term until exercise (years) 5.74 5.30 5.58 5.30

The following table summarizes our results for the three months and six months ended June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002 as if we had recorded compensation expense for the options grants:

for the three months ended June 30, 2002). | | | |

Net income/(loss) available to common shareholders used in the calculation of basic earnings/(loss) per common share represents net income/(loss) reduced by preferred stock dividends-net of tax. Net income/(loss) available to common shareholders used in the calculation of diluted earnings/(loss) per common share represents net income/(loss) reduced by the incremental contribution to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), acquired as part of the Pharmacia acquisition.

Note 2: Pharmacia Acquisition

On April 16, 2003, Pfizer acquired Pharmacia for a purchase price of approximately $56 billion, which includes Pfizer common stock valued at $54.2 billion, options on Pfizer common stock valued at $1.1 billion, Pfizer convertible perpetual preferred stock valued at $.5 billion, and vested share awards valued at $.1 billion, as well as transaction costs of $90 million.

The fair value of Pfizer common stock was derived using an average market price per share of Pfizer common stock of $29.81, which was based on Pfizer's average stock price for the period two days before through two days after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced on July 15, 2002.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Pharmacia common stock was exchanged for 1.4 shares of Pfizer common stock in a tax-free transaction. Each share of Pharmacia Series C convertible perpetual preferred stock was exchanged for a newly created class of Pfizer Series A convertible perpetual preferred stock with rights substantially identical to the rights of the Pharmacia Series C convertible perpetual preferred stock.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase business combination. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Pharmacia are recorded at the date of acquisition, at their respective fair values. Financial statements and reported results of operations of Pfizer issued after completion of the acquisition will reflect these values, but will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of Pharmacia.

The following is an estimate of the purchase price for Pharmacia, as of April 16, 2003:

| Common Stock — Number of shares of Pharmacia common
stock outstanding as of April 16, 2003 (in
thousands) | 1,298,157 | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Exchange ratio | 1.4 | |
| | 1,817,420 | |
| Multiplied by Pfizer's average stock
price for the period two days before through two days after the July 15, 2002 announcement of the merger agreement | $ 29.81 | $ 54,177 million |
| Preferred Stock | | |
| Number of shares of Pharmacia Series
B preferred stock to be exchanged for substantially similar Pharmacia
Series C preferred stock, outstanding and convertible into common stock as
of April 16, 2003 | 6,028.931 | |
| Conversion feature | 1,839.19 | |
| Number of shares of Pharmacia common
stock issuable upon conversion (in thousands) | 11,088.350 | |
| Exchange ratio | 1.4 | |
| | 15,523.690 | |
| Multiplied by Pfizer's average stock
price for the period two days before through two days after the July 15,
2002 announcement of the merger agreement | $ 29.81 | 463 million |
| Stock Options | | |
| Estimated fair value of 180,068 Pfizer stock options (in thousands) to be
issued as of April 16, 2003 in exchange for 128,906 Pharmacia outstanding
stock options (in thousands), calculated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model, modified for dividends, with model assumptions
estimated as of April 16, 2003 and a Pfizer stock price of $29.81, which
represented the average stock price for the period two days before through
two days after the July 15, 2002 announcement of the merger agreement | | 1,102 million |
| Vested Share Award Programs | | |
| Share awards became fully vested in
connection with the acquisition. The fair value of unissued shares
of fully vested awards is based on the same exchange ratio as the common
stock and a Pfizer stock price of $29.81. Awards can be settled in
cash or shares, at the election of the program participant | | 130 million |
| Other transaction costs | | 90 million |
| Total estimated purchase price | | $ 55,962 million |

The above purchase price has been preliminarily allocated based on an estimate of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final valuation of net assets is expected to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than one year from the acquisition date in accordance with GAAP. To the extent that our estimates need to be adjusted, we will do so.

(c) Components of the increase to fair value for acquired property, plant and equipment is as follows:

(in millions)
Land $ (29)
Buildings 814
Machinery and
equipment 26
Total $ 811

(d) As required by Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 4, Applicability of FASB Statement No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method (FIN 4), we recorded a charge of $5,130 million for the preliminary estimate of the portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired in-process research and development.

A project-by-project valuation using the guidance in SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and the AICPA Practice Aid Assets Acquired in a Business Combination to be Used in Research and Development Activities: A Focus on Software, Electronic Devices and Pharmaceutical Industries (Practice Aid) is being performed by independent valuation specialists to determine the fair value of research and development projects of Pharmacia which were in-process, but not yet completed (In-Process Research and Development or IPR&D).

The fair value is determined using the income approach on a project-by-project basis. This method starts with a forecast of the expected future net cash flows. These cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the project's stage of completion and other risk factors. (These other risk factors can include the nature of the product, the scientific data associated with the technology, the current patent situation and market competition.)

The forecast of future cash flows required the following assumptions to be made:

  • Revenue that is reasonably likely to result from specific in-process research and development projects, if they are successful, including the estimated number of units to be sold, estimated selling prices, estimated market penetration and estimated market share and year-over-year growth rates over the product life cycles.
  • Cost of sales related to the potential products using historical data, industry data or other sources of market data.
  • Sales and marketing expense using historical data, industry data or other sources of market data.
  • General and administrative expenses.
  • Research and development (R&D) expenses.

In addition, we considered:

  • The project's stage of completion
  • The costs incurred to date
  • The projected costs to complete
  • The contribution, if any, of Core Technology
  • The projected launch date of the potential product
  • The estimated life of the potential product.

To the extent that the IPR&D project is expected to utilize "Core Technology," the value of the in-process research and development project is reduced to reflect the contribution of this Core Technology associated with IPR&D.

Core Technology (associated with developed products and IPR&D) represents the technical processes, intellectual property, and institutional understanding that were acquired from Pharmacia with respect to products and/or processes that have been completed and that will aid in the development of future products or processes. Because this Core Technology will be used in current and future R&D projects, an estimate of their economic value has been capitalized.

However, there is normally a high degree of uncertainty about the future benefits of individual R&D projects, even those that leverage the benefits of Core Technology. At least annually, we will evaluate the Core Technology assets associated with IPR&D for impairment by reference to their expected ongoing utility to our future R&D projects. If that evaluation suggests that any of the Core Technology assets associated with IPR&D no longer have future value or that the future value has declined, the specific asset would be considered impaired and a write-off would become necessary. Given the high failure rate of R&D projects in the pharmaceutical industry, it is possible that some or all of these Core Technology assets associated with IPR&D will become impaired and consequently result in one or more significant write-offs in the future.

The valuations of all of these intangible assets are based on the information that is currently available to the company, and the expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by the company's management. No assurance can be given, however, that the underlying assumptions used to estimate expected project revenues, development costs or profitability, or the events associated with such projects, will occur as projected. For these reasons, among others, the actual results may vary from the projected results.

The final valuation and associated purchase price allocation is expected to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. To the extent that our estimates need to be adjusted, we will do so.

(e) Adjustment to record acquired intangible assets at fair value. Intangible assets are included in Other assets, deferred taxes and deferred charges . A preliminary list of the acquired identifiable intangible assets is as follows:

a. Completed technology

b. Core technology including patents, patent applications and unpatented know-how/process

c. Trademark/Brand names

d. Customer lists/relationships

e. Distribution agreements

f. Supply agreements

The acquired identifiable intangible assets are attributable to the following categories:

Product rights $ 24,563 Useful Lives (years) — 3 - 13
Brands (finite-lived assets) 141 40
Brands (indefinite-lived assets) 9,780
Core technology 1,220 3 - 20
Other (finite-lived assets) 233 2 - 20
Other (indefinite-lived assets) 569
Total $ 36,506

(f) Adjust benefit plan liabilities to fair value . Adjustment is included in Postretirement benefit obligation other than pension plans - $292 million and Other noncurrent liabilities - $1,217 million for pension obligations.

(g) Includes accruals for legal and environmental matters that we intend to resolve in a manner different from the manner Pharmacia had planned. Also includes accruals for unfavorable leases and for award programs which became fully vested in connection with the acquisition, as well as, the reversal of Pharmacia deferred income that no longer represents a performance obligation to third parties.

(h) Included in Other noncurrent liabilities are restructuring costs that impact goodwill . These exit costs are associated with Pharmacia employees, assets or activities and were recorded as a liability in conjunction with recording the initial purchase of Pharmacia.

(i) Reflects the estimated tax effects of the acquisition, including a provision for taxes on unremitted earnings of international Pharmacia subsidiaries that are not expected to be permanently reinvested overseas.

(j) In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets , the goodwill and the acquired indefinite-lived intangibles associated with the merger will not be amortized. Goodwill resulting from this acquisition has been preliminarily allocated to the pharmaceutical segment ($19.9 billion) and the consumer healthcare segment ($1.5 billion).

Note 3: Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations

On January 1, 2003, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 143, we recorded a non-cash pre-tax charge of $47 million ($30 million net of tax) in the first quarter of 2003 for the change in accounting for costs associated with the eventual retirement of certain manufacturing and research facilities. This charge is reported as a one-time cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of the beginning of 2003. Our asset retirement obligations primarily relate to remediation and land restoration requirements.

Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On January 1, 2003, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 applies to costs associated with an exit activity that is not related to an entity newly acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 146 amends existing accounting rules for these costs by requiring that a liability be recorded at fair value when incurred. The liability is subject to adjustment for the passage of time, timing of payments and changes in the estimated payments. SFAS No. 146 also provides specific guidance for lease termination costs and one-time employee termination benefits when incurred as part of an exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 changes the measurement and timing of costs associated with exit and disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

Note 4: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 29, 2003, by segment, follow:

Note 5: Financial Instruments

A. Long-Term Debt

In February 2003, we issued:

  • $300 million senior unsecured notes, due March 2009, which pay interest semi-annually, beginning on September 2, 2003, at a rate of 3.3%; and
  • $300 million senior unsecured notes, due March 2018, which pay interest semi-annually, beginning on September 1, 2003, at a rate of 4.65%.

The notes were issued under a $5 billion debt shelf registration statement filed with the SEC in November 2002.

B. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

During the first six months of 2003, we entered into the following incremental or new derivative and hedging activities:

Foreign Exchange Risk

These foreign exchange financial instruments serve to protect net income against the impact of the translation into U.S. dollars of certain foreign currency denominated transactions (in millions):

Financial Instrument Hedge Type Hedged or Offset Item Notional Amount Maturity Date
Forward contracts -- Short-term foreign currency assets
and liabilities $2,903 Through 2003
Forward contracts Cash flow Euro available-for-sale instruments 974 Through 2003

(1) Serves to reduce exposure to
long-term U.S. dollar interest rates by effectively converting fixed rates
associated with long-term debt obligations to floating rates.

There was no material ineffectiveness in any hedging relationship reported in earnings in the first six months of 2003.

Note 6: Merger-Related Costs

We incurred the following merger-related costs in connection with our merger with Warner-Lambert Company (Warner-Lambert) which was completed on June 19, 2000 and our acquisition of Pharmacia which was completed on April 16, 2003:

(in millions) June 29, 2003 June 30, 2002 June 29, 2003 June 30, 2002
Integration costs - Warner-Lambert $ 11 $ 107 $ 20 $ 179
Integration costs - Pharmacia 221 -- 301 --
Restructuring charges -
Warner-Lambert 1 57 4 94
Restructuring charges - Pharmacia 52 -- 52 --
Total merger-related costs $ 285 $ 164 $ 377 $ 273

Integration costs represent external, incremental costs directly related to our merger with Warner-Lambert and acquisition of Pharmacia, including expenditures for consulting and systems integration.

Restructuring Charges - Warner-Lambert

The components of the restructuring charges associated with the merger of the Warner-Lambert operations follow:

(in millions) Provisions — Year 2000 Year 2001 Year 2002 Six Months Ended June 29, 2003 Total Utilization Through June 29, 2003 Reserve* June 29, 2003
Employee termination costs $850 $249 $170 $4 $1,273 $(1,261) $12

Other 21 30 13 -- 64 (64) --
$917 $363 $187 $4 $1,471 $(1,459) $12

Included in Other current liabilities.*

Through June 29, 2003, the charges for employee termination costs represent the approved reduction of our work force of our continuing businesses by 8,356 people, mainly in administrative functions for corporate, manufacturing, distribution, sales and research. We notified affected individuals and as of June 29, 2003, 7,845 employees were terminated. Employee termination costs include accrued severance benefits and costs associated with change-in-control provisions of certain Warner-Lambert employment contracts. Under the terms of Warner-Lambert employment contracts, certain terminated employees may elect to defer receipt of severance benefits. Severance benefits deferred for future payments were $218 million at June 29, 2003 and December 31, 2002. The deferred severance benefits are considered utilized charges and are included in Other noncurrent liabilities in the condensed balance sheet.

Restructuring Charges - Pharmacia

During the second quarter of 2003, in connection with the acquisition of Pharmacia, Pfizer management approved and initiated plans to restructure the operations of both legacy Pfizer and legacy Pharmacia to eliminate duplicative facilities and reduce costs.

We recorded $52 million of restructuring costs associated primarily with exiting certain activities of legacy Pfizer, including severance, costs of vacating duplicative facilities and contract termination costs. These costs have been recorded as a charge to the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2003 and are included in Merger-related costs. The components of the restructuring charges associated with the acquisition of Pharmacia which were expensed in 2003 follow:

(in millions) Three and Six Months Ended June 29, 2003 Total Utilization Through June 29, 2003 Reserve* June 29, 2003
Employee termination costs $ 43 $ 43 $ (11) $ 32
Asset impairments 2 2 (2) --
Other 7 7 (1) 6
$ 52 $ 52 $ (14) $ 38

Included in Other current liabilities.*

Through June 29, 2003, the charges for employee termination costs represent the approved reduction of the legacy Pfizer work force by 573 people, mainly in administrative functions for corporate, manufacturing, distribution, sales and research. We notified affected individuals and as of June 29, 2003, 463 employees were terminated. Asset impairments primarily include charges to write-down property, plant and equipment. Other primarily includes costs to exit certain activities of legacy Pfizer.

Pharmacia Acquisition-Related Restructuring Costs Capitalized in 2003 as a Cost of the Acquisition

We recorded approximately $767 million of similar restructuring costs associated primarily with exiting certain activities of legacy Pharmacia. These costs are accounted for under Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with Purchase Business Combinations, and were recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combination. Accordingly, these costs were included in the allocation of the cost to acquire Pharmacia and have been recorded as an increase to goodwill. In accordance with EITF 95-3, these restructuring costs also include costs associated with relocation. The restructuring liabilities are included in Other noncurrent liabilities . The components of the restructuring costs capitalized in 2003 as a cost of the acquisition of Pharmacia follow:

(in millions) Three and Six Months Ended June 29, 2003 Total Utilization Through June 29, 2003 Reserve* June 29, 2003
Employee termination costs $ 669 $ 669 $ (160) $ 509

Relocation costs 50 50 (4) 46
Other 42 42 (22) 20
$ 767 $ 767 $ (192) $ 575

Included in Other current liabilities.*

Through June 29, 2003, the employee termination costs represent the approved reduction of the legacy Pharmacia work force by 6,050 people, mainly in corporate, manufacturing, distribution, sales and research. We notified affected individuals and as of June 29, 2003, 4,640 employees were terminated. Employee termination costs include accrued severance benefits and costs associated with change in control provisions of certain Pharmacia employment contracts. Asset impairments primarily include charges to write-down property, plant and equipment. Other includes costs to exit certain activities of legacy Pharmacia.

Changes to the estimates of completing the currently approved restructuring plans or costs related to new restructuring initiatives will be recorded in results of operations for legacy Pfizer and will be recorded in goodwill for legacy Pharmacia for one year following the acquisition date of April 16, 2003.

Weighted average number of common
shares outstanding and common share equivalents 7,453.4 6,271.3 6,777.4 6,291.2

Generally, diluted EPS is computed assuming the exercise of stock options, stock issued under employee compensation plans and conversion of preferred stock. Also in the diluted computation, income from continuing operations and net income are reduced by the incremental contribution to the ESOP, acquired as part of the Pharmacia acquisition. This contribution is the after-tax difference between the income that the ESOP would have received in preferred stock dividends and the dividend on the common shares assumed to have been outstanding. However, as a result of incurring a loss from continuing operations before cumulative effect of change in accounting principles during the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2003, stock options, stock issuable under employee compensation plans and convertible preferred stock representing equivalents of approximately 687 million shares of common stock outstanding during the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2003 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for those periods because their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect.

Stock options and stock issuable under employee compensation plans representing equivalents of 202 million shares of common stock during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 had exercise prices greater than the average market price of our common stock. These common stock equivalents were outstanding during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, but were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for those periods because their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect.

Under GAAP, quarterly EPS computations must stand on their own and therefore, the sum of EPS for each of the first two quarters of 2003 does not equal the EPS for the first six months of 2003. EPS for the second quarter of 2003 is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the quarter while EPS for the first six months of 2003 is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the first six months of 2003. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is higher for the second quarter of 2003 than for the first six months of 2003 as a result of issuing approximately 1.8 billion common shares to complete the Pharmacia acquisition on April 16, 2003. The significant increase in the number of common shares outstanding from the first quarter of 2003 has resulted in our having different bases of shares outstanding and therefore, the EPS results are not additive.

Note 9: Stock Option and Performance Unit Awards

In connection with the Pharmacia acquisition on April 16, 2003, we issued approximately 180 million Pfizer stock options in exchange for Pharmacia outstanding stock options. The following table summarizes the activity for our stock and incentive plans related to employees during the first six months of 2003:

(thousands of shares) Under Option — Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share
Balance January 1, 2003 431,981 $31.45

Note 11: Discontinued Operations

We sold the following businesses and products that do not fit our strategic goals:

  • In April 2003, we completed the sale of the hormone replacement therapy femhrt, formerly part of our Pharmaceutical segment, to Galen Holdings plc for $160 million in cash with a right to receive up to $69.6 million contingent on femhrt retaining market exclusivity until the expiration of its patent. We recognized a gain on the sale of this product of $139 million ($83 million net of tax) in the consolidated statement of operations for the second quarter and first six months of 2003.
  • In March 2003, we sold the Adams confectionery products business, formerly part of our Consumer Healthcare segment, to Cadbury Schweppes plc for $4.2 billion in cash. We recognized a gain on the sale of this business of $3.091 billion ($1.824 billion net of tax) in the consolidated statement of operations for the first six months of 2003.
  • In March 2003, we sold the Schick-Wilkinson Sword shaving products business, formerly part of our Consumer Healthcare segment, to Energizer Holdings, Inc., for $930 million in cash. We recognized a gain on the sale of this business of $462 million ($262 million net of tax) in the consolidated statement of operations for the first six months of 2003.
  • In March 2003, we sold the oral contraceptives Estrostep and Loestrin, formerly part of our Pharmaceutical segment, to Galen Holdings plc for $197 million in cash with a right to receive up to $55.6 million contingent on Estrostep retaining market exclusivity until the expiration of its patent. We recognized a gain on the sale of these two products of $193 million ($116 million net of tax) in the consolidated statement of operations for the first six months of 2003.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Pfizer Inc.:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Pfizer Inc. and Subsidiary Companies as of June 29, 2003 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002 and cash flows for the six-month periods then ended. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of Pfizer Inc. and Subsidiary Companies as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 27, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

OVERVIEW

On April 16, 2003, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Pharmacia Corporation (Pharmacia) and combined operations as of that date. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Pharmacia are recorded as of the date of acquisition, at their respective fair values. Reported financial position and results of operations of Pfizer issued after completion of the acquisition will reflect these values, but will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of Pharmacia. As a result, the fluctuations in our operating results in the three and six month periods ending June 29, 2003, as compared to the same periods ending June 30, 2002, are generally due to the acquisition of Pharmacia. The results of operations discussed below include Pharmacia's results of operations from April 16, 2003, the acquisition date. It is important to an understanding of our operating results and financial position to consider that we allocate the purchase price of Pharmacia to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, as well as In-process research and development (IPR&D) based on their estimated fair values. We engaged an independent third-party appraisal firm to assist us in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such a valuation requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.

Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows; expected costs to develop the IPR&D into commercially viable products and estimating cash flows from the projects when completed; and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur.

Estimates associated with the accounting for this acquisition may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

REVENUES

Revenues increased 37% in the second quarter and 23% in the first six months of 2003, as compared with the prior year periods.

The revenue increases were primarily due to the inclusion of Pharmacia results, strong performances by our in-line products and newly launched products across major businesses and regions, and the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. Effective July 10, 2003, we increased the published prices for certain U.S. pharmaceutical products. These price increases had no effect on second quarter 2003 wholesaler inventory levels and are not expected to have a material impact on third quarter 2003 wholesaler inventory levels. At the end of the second quarter of 2003, legacy Pfizer maintained .5 months supply of inventory at wholesalers, reflecting our standard historical and ongoing policy of keeping stocking levels under one month on average and keeping monthly levels consistent from year to year based on patterns of utilization. Pharmacia stocking levels began the second quarter of 2003 at a little over 2 months and have been reduced by the end of the second quarter. We expect to complete the harmonization of Pharmacia's trade-inventory practices by the end of the third quarter of 2003. We expect full-year 2003 revenues to be negatively impacted by approximately $500 million as a result of harmonizing Pharmacia's trade-inventory practices. The harmonization of such legacy Pharmacia's trade inventory practices with those of legacy Pfizer negatively impacted revenues for the second quarter of 2003 by approximately $300 million.

Changes in foreign exchange rates increased revenues in the second quarter of 2003 by $365 million or 5.0% and increased revenues in the first half of 2003 by $624 million or 4.1%. The foreign exchange impact on the second quarter and first half of 2003 revenue growth, relative to the same periods last year, is associated with legacy Pfizer revenues only and primarily reflects the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. The revenues of legacy Pharmacia products, recorded as of the acquisition date April 16, 2003, do not affect the impact from foreign exchange, given their treatment as incremental volume.

The loss of patent protection with respect to any of our major products, including those described in the Legal Proceedings section, could have a material adverse effect on our projected revenues and net income.

Lipitor, for the treatment of elevated cholesterol levels in the blood, is the most widely prescribed pharmaceutical product in the world. Despite the challenges of multiple new competitors both in the U.S. and in international markets, we expect that Lipitor's unsurpassed record of cholesterol reduction and patient safety at all doses will make it the powerful cholesterol treatment patients and physicians choose most. As a result of favorable test results, the independent steering committee of a major clinical trial called the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial (ASCOT), involving use of Lipitor in hypertensive patients, announced its decision to stop the Lipitor portion of the trial in October 2002, nearly two years earlier than expected. Initial results showed patients receiving Lipitor had significantly fewer fatal and non-fatal heart attacks as well as strokes. Another major clinical trial, called the Collaborative Atorvastatin Diabetes Study (CARDS), became the second Lipitor trial to end early because of efficacy. Initial results of this trial showed a significant reduction in heart attacks, strokes and other coronary events in patients with type 2 diabetes with no previous history of heart disease or stroke but with some cardiovascular risk factors other than diabetes. These results will further expand the patient population for Lipitor and reinforce its efficacy and safety profile. In November 2002, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Lipitor for use in children 10 to 17 years of age.

Norvasc is the world's most-prescribed branded medicine for treating hypertension and the fourth-largest-selling pharmaceutical in the world.

Zithromax is the largest-selling branded antibiotic worldwide. Zithromax was approved by the FDA in May 2002 as the first and only three-day regimen for the treatment of severe acute bacterial symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In September 2002, we launched the new Zithromax Tri-Pak dosage form (500 mg once daily) in the U.S. In the first quarter of 2002, we launched Zithromax oral suspension as both a single-dose regimen and a three-day regimen for the treatment of acute otitis media (middle ear infection) in pediatric patients and Zithromax IV (for use in a new intravenous delivery device). Zithromax IV was approved in Italy and Spain in the fourth quarter of 2002.

Diflucan remains the leading systemic antifungal in the world. Diflucan's sales volume after 14 years on the market reflects the product's continuing acceptance as the therapy of choice for a wide range of fungal infections.

Viagra , a treatment for erectile dysfunction, is the world's most recognized pharmaceutical brand and among the most widely prescribed medications. We expect Viagra to continue to dominate the erectile dysfunction market due to its unsurpassed medical profile.

Zoloft , for the treatment of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in adults and children, panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder in adults, is the most-prescribed selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI) in the U.S. In June 2003, the FDA issued an approvable letter to include the safety information from two trials in pediatric depression in the Zoloft package insert. In February 2003, the FDA approved Zoloft for the treatment of social anxiety disorder. In May 2002, the FDA approved Zoloft for the treatment of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). With the approval for the treatment of PMDD, Zoloft is the antidepressant in the U.S. market with the most approved indications across mood and anxiety disorders. In August 2002, Zoloft received labeling in the U.S. featuring the results of the first and only studies assessing the utility of an SSRI in the maintenance treatment of panic disorder and OCD. Zoloft is the only SSRI with labeling for long-term use (up to 25 months) across the above-mentioned anxiety disorders.

Neurontin, for use in adjunctive therapy for epilepsy, is also approved in more than 60 markets for the treatment of a range of neuropathic pain conditions. In May 2002, the FDA approved Neurontin for the management of post-herpetic neuralgia, which is described as pain in the area affected by a viral infection commonly known as shingles. Neurontin is the first oral medication approved in the U.S. for this condition.

Geodon , for the treatment of symptoms associated with schizophrenia, was launched in the first quarter of 2001. The intramuscular (IM) formulation of Geodon was approved by the FDA in June 2002 making it the first atypical or new generation antipsychotic medicine for schizophrenia approved in the U.S. for IM use. Geodon has been approved in Brazil for the treatment of acute mania in bipolar disorder (manic-depressive disorder). A recently completed clinical program will support a U.S. filing for this indication in the third quarter of 2003. Geodon has been approved in 51 countries and launched in Germany, Spain, Brazil, the U.S. and other major markets.

Zyrtec provides strong, rapid and long-lasting relief for seasonal and year-round allergies and hives with once-daily dosing. Zyrtec is one of the leading prescribed antihistamines in the U.S. and the only prescription antihistamine with a syrup formulation. In November 2002, the FDA approved Zyrtec for use in children six months of age and older. Zyrtec-D 12 Hour, launched in the third quarter of 2001, is the only prescription oral antihistamine/decongestant combination medicine approved to treat both year-round indoor and outdoor allergies, as well as nasal congestion.

Relpax, a treatment for migraine headaches, was launched in the U.S. in March 2003. Relpax is currently marketed in 24 other countries, including Japan and most of Europe.

Celebrex , a COX-2 specific inhibitor, is used for relief of the pain and inflammation of osteoarthritis (OA), adult rheumatoid arthritis (RA), acute pain and primary dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain) in adults. In addition, Celebrex is approved to reduce the number of adenomatous colorectal polyps in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a rare genetic disease that may result in colorectal cancer, as an adjunct to usual care. In July 2003, marketing authorization for celecoxib (using the brand name Onsenal) for FAP was recommended in Europe. Final approval by the European Union (E.U.) is expected in the fall of 2003. With the approval for acute pain and primary dysmenorrhea in the U.S., Celebrex is the COX-2 specific inhibitor approved to treat the broadest range of conditions. In June 2002, the FDA approved revised labeling for Celebrex. The new prescribing information includes additional gastrointestinal safety data and data indicating that there was no increased risk for serious cardiovascular adverse events observed, including heart attack, stroke and unstable angina. We co-promoted Celebrex with Pharmacia prior to our acquisition of Pharmacia on April 16, 2003. Revenue associated with the co-promotion of Celebrex was recorded by us as alliance revenue prior to acquisition.

Bextra is used for relief of the pain and inflammation of OA, RA and primary dysmenorrhea. Bextra was approved by the FDA in November 2001 and launched in the U.S. in April 2002. Bextra received marketing approval in the E.U. in May 2003 and was launched in several European countries, including the U.K. and Germany. We co-promoted Bextra with Pharmacia prior to our acquisition on April 16, 2003. Revenue associated with our co-promotion of Bextra was recorded by us as alliance revenue prior to acquisition.

Vfend , an antifungal, available in both oral and intravenous forms, was launched in July 2002 in the U.S. and in September 2002 in Europe. Vfend is already the leading hospital antifungal product in France and the second-leading hospital antifungal in Germany.

Viracept , a treatment for HIV infection in combination with other antivirals, was approved by the FDA in April 2003 for a new dosage form (625 mg). Viracept 625 mg allows patients to take four pills a day rather than ten.

Xanax/Xanax XR is a treatment for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), anxiety associated with depression and panic disorder. Xanax XR is a once-daily, extended-release formulation of Xanax approved by the FDA in January 2003 and recently launched in the U.S.

Zyvox, a member of the first new class of antibiotics to be introduced in 35 years, has a novel mechanism of action that stops the initial stage of bacterial protein production. Zyvox is available in intravenous, tablet and oral-suspension formulations. In July 2003, Zyvox was approved by the FDA for the treatment of diabetic foot infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Zyvox is the first and only oral antibiotic approved for the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (drug-resistant bacteria) infections. In December 2002, the FDA approved Zyvox for the treatment of Gram-positive infections in infants and children.

Detrol/Detrol LA , a treatment for overactive bladder (OAB). Detrol is the leading OAB product worldwide. Detrol LA is an extended-release formulation taken once a day.

Camptosar is one of the standard treatments and one of the most widely studied therapies in colorectal cancer.

Xalatan, for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension, is the number one prescribed glaucoma medication in all promoted markets, including the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Xalatan is the first and only prostaglandin medication with a first-line indication for the treatment of elevated eye pressure. Xalcom is a combination therapy consisting of Xalatan with the beta blocker timolol.

Genotropin is indicated for the long-term treatment of pediatric patients who have growth failure due to inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone or due to Prader-Willi Syndrome and for adult patients with growth hormone deficiency. Genotropin is the world's leading recombinant growth hormone. In the U.S., Genotropin is also approved for the long-term treatment of growth failure in children who are born small for gestational age (SGA) and fail to achieve catch-up growth by age two. In July 2003, Genotropin was approved in Europe for children born SGA who failed to show catch-up growth by age four.

Alliance revenue reflects revenue associated with the co-promotion of the following products:

Aricept , discovered and developed by our alliance partner Eisai Co., Ltd. (Eisai), is the world's leading medicine for the treatment of symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

Rebif , a treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS), discovered and developed by our alliance partner Serono S.A. (Serono), was approved by the FDA and launched in the U.S. in March 2002. Rebif has been shown to decrease the frequency of severe symptoms and delay the accumulation of physical disability associated with relapsing forms of MS. In May 2003, the FDA approved additional efficacy and product-stability information for Rebif's package insert. The FDA also approved label changes related to the temporary storage of Rebif at room temperature. We began co-promoting Rebif in the U.S. in October 2002.

Spiriva , discovered and developed by our alliance partner Boehringer Ingelheim, is used to treat COPD. Spiriva completed mutual recognition in the E.U. in April 2002 and has been introduced in more than 30 countries, including Spain, Canada, Germany and the U.K.

Alliance revenue also includes revenue associated with our co-promotion of Celebrex and Bextra under agreements with Pharmacia prior to April 16, 2003, the date we completed our acquisition of Pharmacia.

Consumer Healthcare

Sales of the Consumer Healthcare segment increased 14% in the second quarter of 2003 and 4% in the first six months of 2003, as compared with the prior year periods, as follows:

(in millions) 2003 2002 % Change 2003 2002 % Change
Consumer Healthcare $ 741 $ 647 14 $ 1,336 $ 1,288 4

The increase in consumer healthcare revenues in the second quarter and first six months of 2003, as compared to the prior year periods, was primarily due to the inclusion of Pharmacia results as well as:

  • the continued roll-out of Listerine PocketPaks in international markets
  • the 4% increase in the second quarter of 2003 and 7% in the first six months of 2003 in sales of Listerine mouthwash
  • the U.S. launch of FreshBurst flavored Listerine PocketPaks line extension
  • the favorable impact of the weakening of the U.S. dollar

partially offset by:

  • the 32% decline in the second quarter of 2003 and 55% in the first six months of 2003 in sales of Listerine PocketPaks in the U.S., reflecting the 2002 initial trade stocking as well as a change in demand from initial trial to a more normalized consumption pattern

Animal Health

Sales of the Animal Health segment increased 40% to $383 million in the second quarter of 2003 and 27% to $652 million in the first six months of 2003, as compared with the prior year periods, primarily due to the inclusion of Pharmacia results. Worldwide sales of the major categories of the Animal Health segment were as follows:

(in millions) 2003 2002 % Change 2003 2002 % Change
Companion animal products $ 161 $ 134 20 $ 285 $ 245 17
Livestock products 222 140 58 367 268 37
Total Animal Health $ 383 $ 274 40 $ 652 $ 513 27

Companion animal product revenues increased 20% in the second quarter of 2003 and 17% in the first six months of 2003, as compared with the prior year periods, with key brand performance as follows:

  • Revolution (for protection against fleas and heartworm) sales grew 33% in the second quarter of 2003 and 27% in the first six months of 2003 due to increased promotional efforts in Europe and the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro
  • Rimadyl (for relief of arthritis pain in dogs) sales grew 15% in the second quarter of 2003 and 13% in the first six months of 2003 due to increased field and marketing emphasis throughout Europe and the weakening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies
  • Clavamox / Synulox (an antibiotic for dogs and cats) sales grew 9% in the second quarter of 2003 and 12% in the first six months of 2003 due to increased promotional activities in the U.S. and the weakening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies

Livestock product revenues increased 58% in the second quarter of 2003 and 37% in the first six months of 2003, as compared with the prior year periods, with key performance as follows:

  • Swine vaccine sales grew 13% in the second quarter of 2003 and 20% in the first six months of 2003, as compared with prior year periods, due to the 2002 launches of Flusure (a swine influenza vaccine) in the U.S. and RespiSure One / Stellamune One (a single-dose swine vaccine to prevent pneumonia) in our international markets
  • Advocin 180 (an antibiotic used to treat respiratory and internal infections in cattle and swine) which was launched in the U.S. during the fourth quarter of 2002

partially offset by:

  • Dectomax (a treatment for internal and external parasites in cattle and swine) sales, which remained unchanged in the second quarter of 2003 and declined 5% in the first six months of 2003 due primarily to increasing generic competition throughout our markets

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased 125% in the second quarter of 2003 and 68% in the first six months of 2003 as compared with the prior year periods, while revenues increased 37% in the second quarter of 2003 and 23% in the first six months of 2003. Consistent with purchase accounting, Pharmacia's inventory was recorded on Pfizer's balance sheet at fair value, which was $1,608 million greater than the carrying value recorded by legacy Pharmacia, not the cost of manufacturing. As the inventory is sold, the income statement reflects the fair market value of the inventory. Cost of goods sold will be impacted by this markup until the purchased inventory is completely sold. Sales of this inventory are expected to be completed by the end of 2003.

  • The impact of the fair-value markup of Pharmacia's inventory on cost of goods sold was $408 million in the second quarter of 2003.
  • A second factor in the increase in cost of goods sold was the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. This largely stemmed from the recent weakening of the dollar relative to the euro and the related revaluation of inventory.
  • A third factor underlying the rate of growth in cost of goods sold was the impact of reflecting cost of goods sold for Celebrex and Bextra after the April 16th acquisition close, compared to reflecting alliance revenue for the co-promotion of Celebrex and Bextra prior to April 16th, which had no cost of goods sold recorded by Pfizer.
  • A fourth factor was a change in product mix, given the addition of legacy Pharmacia's product portfolio, which on average has a higher product cost relative to legacy Pfizer's product portfolio.

After accounting for these factors, the growth in cost of goods sold was comparable with the growth in revenues.

Selling, Informational and Administrative Expenses

Selling, informational and administrative expenses increased 42% in the second quarter of 2003 and 25% in the first six months of 2003, as compared with the prior year periods, mainly due to incremental expenditures associated with the consolidation of Pharmacia-related activity as of the April 16th close of the acquisition, partially offset by initial cost synergies. Marketing expenses of our pharmaceutical products increased 40% in the second quarter of 2003 and 25% in the first six months of 2003 and included costs associated with the first quarter 2003 U.S. launch of the migraine product Relpax and continued commercial support for products recently launched in the U.S. including the anti-arthritic product Bextra (co-promoted with Pharmacia in the U.S.), the antifungal agent Vfend, and the multiple sclerosis product Rebif (co-promoted with Serono in the U.S.). In Europe, the recent launches of Spiriva for COPD (co-promoted with Boehringer Ingelheim) and Relpax also contributed to the period over period increase in marketing expenses.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (R&D) expenses increased 39% in the second quarter of 2003 and 21% in the first six months of 2003, as compared with the prior year periods. Year over year growth for second quarter and first half R&D spending is attributable to the incremental expenditures associated with the consolidation of Pharmacia-related activity as of the April 16th close of the acquisition and increased support of the late-stage development portfolio.

We continue to invest in R&D to provide future sources of revenue through the development of new products, as well as through additional uses for existing in-line and alliance products. However, there are no assurances as to when, or if, we will receive regulatory approval for these or any of our new products. We expect our R&D expenditures for 2003 to be about $7.1 billion.

Advanced-stage clinical studies are continuing for several agents including:

  • indiplon for insomnia under co-development with Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Neurocrine)
  • Macugen for macular degeneration and macular edema, under co-development with Eyetech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Eyetech)
  • capravirine for HIV/AIDS
  • lasofoxifene for osteoporosis and other indications
  • varenicline for smoking cessation
  • Exubera, an inhalable form of insulin under co-development, co-manufacture, and co-marketing with Aventis Pharma (Aventis), with the participation of Nektar Therapeutics
  • Dynastat for pain and inflammation
  • Lipitor-torcetrapib combination for lowering LDL cholesterol and markedly raising HDL cholesterol
  • roflumilast for COPD and asthma under co-development with Altana Pharma
  • CDP-870 for rheumatoid arthritis under co-development with Celltech Group plc
  • Zithromax/chloroquine combination for malaria
  • sumanriole for Parkinson's disease

Together with Aventis, we are completing additional long-term studies for the Exubera development program. These trials are well under way and involve patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Because of the potential widespread use of Exubera among diabetes patients, additional rigorous testing and assessment of all pulmonary function measures are appropriate to deepen the medical understanding of diabetes and Exubera's role in the future management of diabetes. Based on interim data from one-year controlled safety studies, we are confident that Exubera will be an important medication to treat this devastating disease. We are continuing our discussions with regulatory agencies regarding the timing of the submission.

In December 2002, we announced an agreement with Neurocrine for the exclusive worldwide development and commercialization of indiplon, Neurocrine's Phase III compound for the treatment of insomnia. Under terms of the agreement, we will obtain an exclusive, worldwide license for indiplon. We will record all sales of indiplon. Neurocrine will have exclusive rights to co-promote, but not to sell, indiplon in the U.S. Following filing of an NDA for indiplon, Neurocrine will also have rights to detail, but not sell, our antidepressant Zoloft, in the U.S., and would earn a fee for such detailing efforts equal to a percentage of Zoloft sales in the U.S. that are above a baseline threshold. The government approved the transaction in February 2003 and we expensed a payment of $100 million, included in Other (income)/deductions-net, to Neurocrine in the first quarter of 2003. Additional milestone payments of $300 million potentially could be made to Neurocrine based on worldwide regulatory submissions and approvals. We will fund the ongoing development of indiplon and pay royalties on worldwide sales and co-promotion commissions in the U.S. Neurocrine plans to submit the indiplon NDA in the first half of 2004. Following the U.S. launch of indiplon, we will provide to Neurocrine a $175 million secured credit facility for a period of three years.

Also in December 2002, we announced an agreement with Eyetech to jointly develop and commercialize Eyetech's Macugen(TM) (pegaptanib sodium), a treatment for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME), both leading causes of blindness. The government approved the transaction in February 2003 and we expensed a $100 million payment, included in Other (income)/deductions-net, to Eyetech in the first quarter of 2003. Additional milestone payments up to $195.5 million potentially could be made to Eyetech based on worldwide regulatory submissions and approvals. Eyetech also has the potential to receive up to an additional $450 million in milestone payments, which are contingent upon successful commercialization of Macugen(TM) and attainment of agreed-upon sales levels. We will also fund the majority of the ongoing development costs for both the AMD and DME indications. If approved, we will co-promote Macugen(TM) with Eyetech in the U.S. and we will record alliance revenue for co-promotion services provided to Eyetech. Outside the U.S., we will market the product exclusively under a royalty-bearing license and we will directly record sales of the product.

In April 2003, we announced an agreement with Daiichi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and obtained an exclusive license for DK-507k, a new highly effective quinolone antibiotic for both oral and intravenous administration to treat respiratory-tract and other infections. The product is currently in Phase I clinical trials.

Additional product-related programs are in various stages of discovery and development.

MERGER-RELATED IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CHARGE

As required by Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 4, Applicability of FASB Statement No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method (FIN 4), we recorded a charge of $5,130 million in the second quarter and first six months ended June 29, 2003 for the preliminary estimate of the portion of the purchase price allocated to in-process research and development. A project-by-project valuation is being performed by independent valuation specialists to determine the fair value of research and development projects of Pharmacia which were in-process, but not yet completed. The final valuation is expected to be completed as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date. To the extent that our estimates need to be adjusted, we will do so.

MERGER-RELATED COSTS

We incurred the following merger-related costs in connection with our merger with Warner-Lambert Company (Warner-Lambert) which was completed on June 19, 2000 and our acquisition of Pharmacia which was completed on April 16, 2003:

(in millions) June 29, 2003 June 30, 2002 June 29, 2003 June 30, 2002
Integration costs - Warner-Lambert $ 11 $ 107 $ 20 $ 179
Integration costs - Pharmacia 221 -- 301 --
Restructuring charges -
Warner-Lambert 1 57 4 94
Restructuring charges - Pharmacia 52 -- 52 --
Total merger-related costs $ 285 $ 164 $ 377 $ 273

Integration costs represent external, incremental costs directly related to our merger with Warner-Lambert and acquisition of Pharmacia, including expenditures for consulting and systems integration.

Restructuring Charges - Warner -Lambert

The components of the restructuring charges associated with the merger of the Warner-Lambert operations follow:

(in millions) Provisions — Year 2000 Year 2001 Year 2002 Six Months Ended June 29, 2003 Total Utilization Through June 29, 2003 Reserve* June 29, 2003
Employee termination costs $850 $249 $170 $4 $1,273 $(1,261) $12

Other 21 30 13 -- 64 (64) --
$917 $363 $187 $4 $1,471 $(1,459) $12
*Included in Other current
liabilities.

Through June 29, 2003, the charges for employee termination costs represent the approved reduction of our work force of our continuing businesses by 8,356 people, mainly in corporate, manufacturing, distribution, sales and research. We notified affected individuals and as of June 29, 2003, 7,845 employees were terminated. Employee termination costs include accrued severance benefits and costs associated with change-in-control provisions of certain Warner-Lambert employment contracts. Under the terms of Warner-Lambert employment contracts, certain terminated employees may elect to defer receipt of severance benefits. Severance benefits deferred for future payments were $218 million at June 29, 2003 and December 31, 2002. The deferred severance benefits are considered utilized charges and are included in Other noncurrent liabilities in the condensed balance sheet.

Restructuring Charges - Pharmacia

During the second quarter of 2003, in connection with the acquisition of Pharmacia, Pfizer management approved and initiated plans to restructure the operations of both legacy Pfizer and legacy Pharmacia to eliminate duplicative facilities and reduce costs.

We recorded $52 million of restructuring costs associated primarily with exiting certain activities of legacy Pfizer, including severance, costs of vacating duplicative facilities and contract termination costs. These costs have been recorded as a charge to the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2003 and are included in Merger-related costs. The components of the restructuring charges associated with the acquisition of Pharmacia which were expensed in 2003 follow:

(in millions) Three and Six Months Ended June 29, 2003 Total Utilization Through June 29, 2003 Reserve* June 29, 2003
Employee termination costs $ 43 $ 43 $ (11) $ 32
Asset impairments 2 2 (2) --
Other 7 7 (1) 6
$ 52 $ 52 $ (14) $ 38

Included in Other current liabilities.*

Through June 29, 2003, the charges for employee termination costs represent the approved reduction of the legacy Pfizer work force by 573 people, mainly in corporate, manufacturing, distribution, sales and research. We notified affected individuals and as of June 29, 2003, 463 employees were terminated. Asset impairments primarily include charges to write-down property, plant and equipment. Other primarily includes costs to exit certain activities of legacy Pfizer.

Pharmacia Acquisition-Related Restructuring Costs Capitalized in 2003 as a Cost of the Acquisition

We recorded approximately $767 million of similar restructuring costs associated primarily with exiting certain activities of legacy Pharmacia. These costs are accounted for under Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with Purchase Business Combinations, and were recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combination. Accordingly, these costs were included in the allocation of the cost to acquire Pharmacia and have been recorded as an increase to goodwill. In accordance with EITF 95-3, these restructuring costs also include costs associated with relocation. The restructuring liabilities are included in Other noncurrent liabilities . The components of the restructuring costs capitalized in 2003 as a cost of the acquisition of Pharmacia follow:

(in millions) Three and Six Months Ended June 29, 2003 Total Utilization Through June 29, 2003 Reserve* June 29, 2003
Employee termination costs $ 669 $ 669 $ (160) $ 509
Asset impairments 6 6 (6) --
Relocation costs 50 50 (4) 46
Other 42 42 (22) 20
$ 767 $ 767 $ (192) $ 575

Included in Other current liabilities.*

Through June 29, 2003, the employee termination costs represent the approved reduction of the legacy Pharmacia work force by 6,050 people, mainly in administrative functions for corporate, manufacturing, distribution, sales and research. We notified affected individuals and as of June 29, 2003, 4,640 employees were terminated. Employee termination costs include accrued severance benefits and costs associated with change in control provisions of certain Pharmacia employment contracts. Asset impairments primarily include charges to write-down property, plant and equipment. Other includes costs to exit certain activities of legacy Pharmacia.

For one year following the acquisition date of April 16, 2003, changes to the estimates of completing the currently approved restructuring plans or costs related to new restructuring initiatives will be recorded in results of operations for legacy Pfizer and will be recorded in goodwill for legacy Pharmacia.

Other (income)/deductions-net

The following components were included in Other (income)/deductions-net for the second quarter and first six months of 2003 and 2002:

M+ Change greater than one
thousand percent.

Other income/(deductions)-net reflects a significant increase in expenses for the second quarter and first six months of 2003 principally due to $571 million in amortization of identifiable intangibles associated with the acquisition of Pharmacia. Consistent with purchase accounting, intangible assets are reflected on Pfizer's balance sheet at fair value. The income-statement impact reflects the amortization of these assets over their estimated useful lives (e.g., until patent expiration for a currently marketed product).

TAXES ON INCOME

The estimated effective tax rate (ETR) used in calculating full-year 2003 income from continuing operations before cumulative effect of change in accounting principles is 37.1%. The projected full-year 2003 ETR is higher than the 22.1% ETR used in calculating full-year 2002 income from continuing operations before cumulative effect of change in accounting principles primarily due to the impact of purchase accounting for the Pharmacia acquisition.

ADJUSTED INCOME

We believe investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing adjusted income defined as net income, excluding the impact of purchase accounting for the Pharmacia acquisition, certain significant items, merger-related costs and the cumulative effect of change in accounting principles. Management analyzes the company's performance on this basis.

We have excluded the effects of significant purchase-accounting treatments related to our acquisition of Pharmacia. These effects primarily relate to the one-time charge for purchased in-process research and development, the charges to cost of goods sold from the workdown of purchased inventory that was written up to fair value, and the charges related to the amortization of Pharmacia definite-lived intangible assets, as well as the incremental depreciation of fixed assets for the increase to fair value. We believe that excluding these non-cash charges provides a better view of our economic performance.

The Company also excludes "certain significant items" from adjusted income in order to better portray its major operations--the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of market-leading prescription medicines for humans and animals as well as many of the world's best-known over-the-counter products. For example, we exclude gains or losses on the sale of product lines or discontinued businesses. While we review our businesses and product lines on an ongoing basis for strategic fit with our operations, we do not build or run our businesses with an intent to sell them and, therefore, we have excluded such gains or losses on sales of businesses or product lines from adjusted income. Another example of an excluded "certain significant item" is co-promotion charges and payments for intellectual property rights for unapproved products being developed by third parties. Our view is that while such payments are expensed as they relate to unapproved products, which parallels the treatment of in-process research and development, they represent payments for property that, at the time the payments are made, has no probable future economic benefit. Therefore, excluding such payments from our economic performance provides us with a better view of our operations. We exclude charges related to various litigation matters from adjusted income as they relate to significant settlements of legal matters. We also exclude gains/losses from the sale or writedown of equity investments from adjusted income. Generally, these investments are made in biotech companies on an opportunistic basis and are not part of our ongoing internal discovery and development programs.

While we continually look for improvement opportunities within our businesses and reorganize when necessary, at times we will perform a review for restructuring an area of our business. During 2003, our research division undertook such a review and began to initiate its restructuring plan in the second quarter of 2003. The last time that such a restructuring occurred in this division, with the exception of our acquisition-related restructurings, was in 1993. As such, we have excluded the charges of these activities from adjusted income.

In 2000 we acquired Warner-Lambert, and in April 2003 we acquired Pharmacia. These acquisitions have significant integration and restructuring costs attendant to them. We have excluded these costs from adjusted income, because integration and restructuring costs are unique to these transactions and will occur over several years due to the global and highly regulated nature of our business.

A reconciliation between net income/(loss), as reported under GAAP, and adjusted income follows:

(in millions) 2003 2002 % Incr./ (Decr.) 2003 2002 % Incr./ (Decr.)

We sold the following businesses and products that do not fit our strategic goals:

  • In April 2003, we completed the sale of the hormone replacement therapy femhrt, formerly part of our Pharmaceutical segment, to Galen Holdings plc for $160 million in cash with a right to receive up to $69.6 million contingent on femhrt retaining market exclusivity until the expiration of its patent. We recognized a gain on the sale of this product of $139 million ($83 million net of tax) in the consolidated statement of operations for the second quarter and first six months of 2003.
  • In March 2003, we sold the Adams confectionery products business, formerly part of our Consumer Healthcare segment, to Cadbury Schweppes plc for $4.2 billion in cash. We recognized a gain on the sale of this business of $3.091 billion ($1.824 billion net of tax) in the consolidated statement of operations for the first six months of 2003.
  • In March 2003, we sold the Schick-Wilkinson Sword shaving products business, formerly part of our Consumer Healthcare segment, to Energizer Holdings, Inc., for $930 million in cash. We recognized a gain on the sale of this business of $462 million ($262 million net of tax) in the consolidated statement of operations for the first six months of 2003.
  • In March 2003, we sold the oral contraceptives Estrostep and Loestrin, formerly part of our Pharmaceutical segment, to Galen Holdings plc for $197 million in cash with a right to receive up to $55.6 million contingent on Estrostep retaining market exclusivity until the expiration of its patent. We recognized a gain on the sale of these two products of $193 million ($116 million net of tax) in the consolidated statement of operations for the first six months of 2003.

These businesses and product lines are reflected as discontinued operations in all periods presented.

The following amounts related to the confectionery, shaving and fish-care product businesses, as well as the femhrt, Loestrin and Estrostep product lines, have been segregated from continuing operations and reflected as discontinued operations:

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our net financial asset position was as follows:

(in millions) — Financial assets* $ 22,277 $ 18,111
Short-term borrowings and long-term
debt 14,924 11,809
Net financial assets $ 7,353 $ 6,302
* Consists of cash and cash
equivalents, short-term loans and investments and long-term loans and
investments.

Selected measures of liquidity and capital resources:

| Cash and cash equivalents and
short-term loans and investments (millions of dollars) | $ 16,191 | $ 12,950 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Working capital (millions of
dollars)
| $ 12,587 | $ 6,226 |
| Current ratio
** | 1.57:1 | 1.34:1 |
| Shareholders' equity per common
share+ | $ 9.06 | $ 3.27 |
| * | Wherever possible, cash management
is centralized and intercompany financing is used to provide working
capital to subsidiaries as needed. Where local restrictions prevent
intercompany financing, subsidiaries' working capital needs would be met
through ongoing cash flows and/or external borrowings. | |
| ** | We rely largely on operating cash
flow, short-term commercial paper borrowings and long-term debt to provide
for working capital needs. Working capital includes assets and liabilities
of discontinued businesses held for sale at December 31, 2002. | |
| *** | Current ratio is the proportion of
current assets to current liabilities. | |
| + | Represents total shareholders'
equity divided by the actual number of common shares outstanding (which
excludes treasury shares and those held by our employee benefit trust). | |

The increase in working capital from December 31, 2002 to June 29, 2003 primarily reflects:

  • cash from current period operations
  • cash receipts from long-term debt issuances -- $600 million
  • acquisition of the assets and assumption of liabilities of Pharmacia on April 16, 2003

partially offset by:

  • purchases of property, plant and equipment -- $1,204 million
  • purchases of our common stock -- $6,422 million
  • cash dividends on common stock -- $2,089 million

The increase in shareholders' equity per common share is primarily due to the acquisition of Pharmacia.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

During the first six months of 2003, net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $4,456 million, as compared to $3,991 million in the 2002 period. The change in net cash provided by operating activities in 2003 was primarily due to the inclusion of Pharmacia operations from April 16, 2003, the date of acquisition.

Net Cash Provided by/(Used in) Investing Activities

During the first six months of 2003, net cash provided by investing activities of $3,833 million, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $2,903 million in the 2002 period. The change in net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities in 2003 was primarily attributable to:

  • proceeds from the sales of businesses and product lines (an increase of $5,582 million)
  • cash acquired in the Pharmacia acquisition ($1,789 million)

partially offset by:

  • increased purchases of property, plant and equipment (an increase of $403 million)

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

During the first three months of 2003 net cash used in financing activities was $7,968 million, as compared to $1,016 million in the 2002 period. The change in net cash used in financing activities in 2003 was primarily attributable to:

  • an increase in cash dividends paid (an increase of $495 million)
  • an increase in common share purchases (an increase of $4,426 million)

  • a decrease in net borrowings (a decrease of $2,424 million)

partially offset by:

  • an increase in stock options exercised (an increase of $370 million)

In February 2003, we issued:

  • $300 million senior unsecured notes, due March 2009, which pay interest semi-annually, beginning on September 2, 2003, at a rate of 3.3%; and
  • $300 million senior unsecured notes, due March 2018, which pay interest semi-annually, beginning on September 1, 2003, at a rate of 4.65%.

The notes were issued under a $5 billion debt shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in November 2002.

In June 2002, we announced a new authorization to purchase up to $10 billion of the Company's common stock. This program was subsequently increased to authorize the Company and its affiliates to purchase up to $16 billion of common stock. In total through July 25, 2003, approximately 310 million shares have been purchased under this authorization, at a total cost of about $9.8 billion, including 208 million shares purchased during the period January 1, 2003 through July 25, 2003 at a total cost of about $6.8 billion. The remaining $6.2 billion of this authorization is expected to be completed by year end 2003. Purchased shares are available for general corporate purposes.

We have available lines of credit and revolving-credit agreements with a group of banks and other financial intermediaries. We utilize short-term commercial paper to provide working capital. We maintain cash balances in excess of our commercial paper borrowings and have access to $2.9 billion of lines of credit of which $2.4 billion expire within one year. Of these lines of credit, approximately $2.4 billion are unused, of which our lenders have committed to loan us $1.0 billion at our request.

Legacy Pharmacia guaranteed certain transactions in which Monsanto, its former agricultural subsidiary, is involved. These guarantees continued after Pfizer's acquisition of Pharmacia and at June 29, 2003 included approximately $310 million of bank notes with maturities not later than 2004 and $5 million of environmental guarantees, which are required until Monsanto can obtain certain approvals.

Pharmacia Acquisition

On April 16, 2003, Pfizer acquired Pharmacia for a purchase price of approximately $56 billion, which includes Pfizer common stock valued at $54.2 billion, options on Pfizer common stock valued at $1.1 billion, Pfizer convertible perpetual preferred stock valued at $.5 billion, and vested share awards valued at $.1 billion, as well as transaction costs of $90 million.

The fair value of Pfizer common stock was derived using an average market price per share of Pfizer common stock of $29.81, which was based on Pfizer's average stock price for the period two days before through two days after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced on July 15, 2002.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Pharmacia common stock was exchanged for 1.4 shares of Pfizer common stock in a tax-free transaction. Each share of Pharmacia Series C convertible perpetual preferred stock was exchanged for a newly created class of Pfizer Series A convertible perpetual preferred stock with rights substantially identical to the rights of the Pharmacia Series C convertible perpetual preferred stock.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase business combination. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Pharmacia are recorded at the date of acquisition, at their respective fair values. Financial statements and reported results of operations of Pfizer issued after completion of the acquisition will reflect these values, but will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of Pharmacia.

This transaction resulted in the issuance of approximately 1.8 billion shares of Pfizer common stock, six thousand shares of Pfizer Series A convertible perpetual preferred stock which are convertible into 15.5 million shares of Pfizer common stock, and 180 million Pfizer stock options. We recorded approximately $21.5 billion of goodwill, $10.3 billion of purchased intangibles with indefinite lives and $26.2 billion of purchased intangibles with definite lives in conjunction with the acquisition based on preliminary estimates of an independent valuation specialist. In addition, we recorded a charge of $5.1 billion in the second quarter of 2003 for purchased in-process research and development at the time of acquisition because technological feasibility had not been established and no future alternative uses existed. In connection with the acquisition, management has reviewed the operations of the combined company and has begun to implement several plans to restructure operations-see the discussion above on "Merger-Related Costs".

As a result of the acquisition of Pharmacia, regulatory authorities required us to divest several products and a product candidate. In April 2003, we sold Cortaid, an anti-itch cream, for $35.8 million in cash. Also in April 2003, we sold the product candidate for overactive bladder, darifenacin, for $225 million. We received $50 million in cash upon closing and will receive the remaining $175 million if and when darifenacin receives regulatory approvals.

OUTLOOK

Our outlook for 2003 and 2004 remains largely consistent with prior communications. In 2003, we continue to anticipate total revenues of $45 billion and R&D expenditures of $7.1 billion. In 2004, anticipated revenue remains $54 billion. The current estimate for full year 2003 diluted earnings per common share (EPS), as reported under GAAP, is $.86. The current estimate for adjusted diluted EPS of $1.73 in 2003 ($1.80 excluding an estimated $.07 impact associated with the harmonization of Pfizer's and Pharmacia's practices) is consistent with prior projections. The current estimate for full year 2004 diluted EPS, as reported under GAAP, is $1.77. The current estimate of adjusted diluted EPS of $2.13 in 2004, consistent with prior projections, represents 16% compound annual growth from the adjusted diluted EPS for legacy Pfizer of $1.59 in 2002. The 2004 forecast reflects accretion of $.06 in adjusted diluted EPS relative to our expectations for Pfizer without the acquisition of Pharmacia. Estimated adjusted income/diluted EPS, GAAP net income/diluted EPS, and items reconciling the two are as follows for third and fourth quarters of 2003, full-year 2003 and full-year 2004:

(in billions, except per-share data) Net income Diluted EPS

Although we have agreed to explore strategic options for the diagnostics and surgical ophthalmology businesses, we do not predict divestitures of businesses or products in these forecasts.

Cost synergies from the Pharmacia acquisition achieved in the second quarter of 2003 totaled almost $200 million. Cumulative cost synergies resulting from the acquisition of Pharmacia are expected to be $1 billion in 2003, $3 billion in 2004, and approaching $4 billion in 2005, significantly more than originally estimated. Synergies will come from a broad range of sources, including a streamlined organization, reduced operating expenses, and procurement savings. Total merger-related costs incurred over the next three years to achieve these synergies are expected to be in the range of $4.7 billion to $5.2 billion, pre-tax.

Under GAAP, quarterly computations must stand on their own and, therefore, the sum of diluted EPS numbers for each of the four quarters of 2003 will not equal the estimated diluted EPS for the full-year of 2003. Diluted EPS for each quarter of 2003 is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the quarter, while diluted EPS for the full-year of 2003 is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the full-year of 2003. The sum of our GAAP EPS for the four quarters of 2003 will not equal the full-year estimate due to the calculation on different average-share bases as a result of the issuance of approximately 1.8 billion common shares to complete the Pharmacia acquisition on April 16, 2003.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. The provisions of SFAS No. 149 are generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 149 to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

CAUTIONARY FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Our disclosure and analysis in this report contain forward-looking information about our company's financial results and estimates, business prospects and products in research that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. They use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "will," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following:

  • the success of research and development activities and the speed with which regulatory authorizations, pricing approvals, and product launches may be achieved
  • competitive developments affecting our current growth products
  • the ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally
  • difficulties or delays in manufacturing
  • trade buying patterns
  • the ability to meet generic and branded competition after the loss of patent protection for our products
  • trends toward managed care and health care cost containment
  • possible U.S. legislation or regulatory action affecting, among other things, pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement, including Medicaid and Medicare and involuntary approval of prescription medicines for over-the-counter use
  • legislation or regulations in markets outside the U.S. affecting product pricing, reimbursement or access
  • contingencies related to actual or alleged environmental contamination
  • legal defense costs, insurance expenses, settlement costs and the risk of an adverse decision or settlement related to product liability, patent protection, government investigations, and other legal proceedings
  • the company's ability to protect its patents and other intellectual property both domestically and internationally
  • interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations
  • governmental laws and regulations affecting domestic and foreign operations, including tax obligations
  • changes in generally accepted accounting principles
  • any changes in business, political and economic conditions due to the threat of future terrorist activity in the U.S. and other parts of the world, and related U.S. military action overseas
  • growth in costs and expenses
  • changes in our product mix
  • the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, product withdrawals and other unusual items, including our ability to integrate and to obtain the anticipated results and synergies from our acquisition of Pharmacia

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Form 10-K filing for the 2002 fiscal year listed various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historic results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers can find them in Item 1 of that filing under the heading "Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results." We incorporate that section of that Form 10-K in this filing and investors should refer to it. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Legal Proceedings and Contingencies

We and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in various patent, product liability, consumer, commercial, environmental, and tax litigations and claims; government investigations; and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe any of them will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and excessive verdicts do occur. Although we believe we have valid defenses in these matters, we could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any particular period.

Patent claims include challenges to the coverage and/or validity of our patents on various products or processes. Although we believe that we have valid defenses to these challenges with respect to all our material patents, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of these matters, and a loss in any of these cases could result in a loss of patent protection for the drug at issue, which could lead to a significant loss of sales of that drug and could materially affect future results of operations.

Item 4. Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.

In addition, we evaluated our internal control over financial reporting and there have been no changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

FORM 10-Q

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Certain legal proceedings in which Pfizer is involved are discussed in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements in Pfizer's 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders; Part I, Item 3, of Pfizer's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002; and Part II, Item 1, of Pfizer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2003. The following discussion is limited to recent developments concerning certain of Pfizer's legal proceedings and should be read in conjunction with those earlier Reports. Unless otherwise indicated, all proceedings discussed in those earlier Reports remain outstanding.

In addition, we completed our acquisition of Pharmacia Corporation on April 16, 2003. Certain legal proceedings in which Pharmacia is involved are discussed in Part I, Item 3, of Pharmacia's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and/or Part II, Item 1, of Pfizer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2003. The following includes discussion of certain legal proceedings in which Pharmacia is involved.

Patent Matters

Neurontin (gabapentin)

As previously reported, in 2000 and 2001, Warner-Lambert brought patent infringement suits in various federal courts against several generic manufacturers that have filed abbreviated new drug applications with the FDA asserting the invalidity and non-infringement of our gabapentin (Neurontin) low-lactam patent. These suits have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. In 2003, Warner-Lambert brought a number of additional patent infringement suits in various federal courts that also allege infringement of our low-lactam patent by certain generic manufacturers. Warner-Lambert has filed motions to consolidate these additional suits with the previously filed suits for pre-trial purposes in the consolidated proceeding pending in federal court in New Jersey.

Product Liability Matters

Rezulin

As of June 30, 2003, suits involving approximately 9,900 alleged users of Rezulin had been filed in various federal and state courts, and approximately 1,100 alleged users had asserted claims but had not filed suits. In addition, as of June 30, 2003, we had agreed to extend the statute of limitations for approximately 34,100 individuals who do not have lawsuits on file and who may or may not eventually pursue claims.

As previously reported, in 2001, a state court in West Virginia in an action involving Rezulin denied the plaintiffs' motion to certify a class of allegedly injured Rezulin users. In July 2003, the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's decision. The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals made no decision on the merits of the case, ruling only that it may proceed as a class action on behalf of all persons who either used or purchased Rezulin in West Virginia.

Asbestos

As of June 30, 2003: (i) approximately 158,200 claims naming Pfizer and/or Quigley Company, Inc. (which is a subsidiary of Pfizer) and numerous other defendants were pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged asbestos exposure, and (ii) approximately 126,900 claims naming American Optical Corporation (which is a former subsidiary of Warner-Lambert) and numerous other defendants were pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged asbestos and other exposures.

Monsanto-Related Matters

In 1997, Monsanto Company ("Former Monsanto") contributed certain manufacturing operations and facilities to a newly formed corporation, Solutia Inc. ("Solutia"), and spun off the shares of Solutia. In 2000, Former Monsanto merged with Pharmacia & Upjohn to form Pharmacia Corporation ("Pharmacia"). Pharmacia then transferred certain of its operations to a newly created subsidiary, named Monsanto Company ("New Monsanto"), which it spun off in 2002. Pharmacia was acquired by Pfizer on April 16, 2003.

In connection with its spin-off in 2002, New Monsanto assumed, and agreed to indemnify Pharmacia for, any liabilities related to Pharmacia's former agricultural business. New Monsanto is defending and indemnifying Pharmacia for various claims and litigation arising out of or related to the agricultural business.

In connection with its spin-off in 1997, Solutia assumed liabilities related to Former Monsanto's chemical businesses. As a result, while Pharmacia remains a defendant in various legal proceedings involving Former Monsanto's chemical businesses, Solutia manages the litigation and is responsible for all costs and expenses and any judgment or settlement amounts. In addition, in connection with its spin-off in 2002, New Monsanto assumed, and agreed to indemnify Pharmacia for, any liabilities primarily related to Former Monsanto's former chemical businesses, including any such liabilities that Solutia assumed to the extent that Solutia fails to pay or discharge them. Solutia's assumption of these liabilities, and New Monsanto's agreement to indemnify Pharmacia for these liabilities to the extent that Solutia fails to pay or discharge them, apply to, among other matters, the litigation discussed below relating to polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCBs").

Litigation brought by several thousand plaintiffs is pending in state and federal court in Alabama relating to PCBs that were discharged from a plant site in Anniston, Alabama that was owned by Former Monsanto and that was transferred to Solutia as part of the spin-off in 1997. Certain of the plaintiffs in these actions are seeking damages for personal injury, emotional distress and/or property damage, and certain of the plaintiffs are seeking medical monitoring. This litigation includes, but is not limited to, the cases discussed below.

Abernathy et al. v. Monsanto et al . was filed against Solutia and Former Monsanto (now Pharmacia) in March 1996 and is pending in the District Court of Etowah County, Alabama. In February 2002, the jury found Solutia and Pharmacia liable to certain of the plaintiffs for property damage and related emotional distress. Proceedings are under way to assess damages. Solutia, New Monsanto and Pharmacia have agreed that, if Solutia does not post a bond sufficient to stay execution on any judgments that may be entered in this case pending appeal, Pharmacia will post such a bond; thereafter, the party or parties who would control decisions about the resolution of this litigation would depend upon whether collateral must be provided to secure the bond and, if so, which party provides it.

Tolbert et al. v. Solutia et al. was filed against Solutia, New Monsanto and Pharmacia in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama in May 2001. The plaintiffs primarily are seeking damages for personal injury and medical monitoring. The trial is scheduled to begin in October 2003.

Celebrex

As previously reported, five purported class-action complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey by persons who claim to have been purchasers of publicly traded securities of Pharmacia during the period from April 17, 2000 through August 22, 2001 (the "Purported Class Period"). A sixth purported class-action complaint was filed in the same court in mid-May. Named as defendants in each of the actions are Pharmacia and certain former officers of Pharmacia. The complaints allege that the defendants violated federal securities laws by misrepresenting the safety of Celebrex. Several of the cases further allege that all of the individual defendants breached fiduciary duties by virtue of the alleged conduct concerning Celebrex. Plaintiffs purport to represent a class of all persons who purchased Pharmacia securities during the Purported Class Period and were damaged as a result of the decline in the price of Pharmacia's securities allegedly attributable to the misrepresentations. Plaintiffs seek damages in an unspecified amount.

Pfizer and Pharmacia are defendants in a purported class action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York in June 2001 alleging cardiovascular issues associated with Celebrex. Plaintiffs claim that the putative class members are entitled to a refund of amounts paid for Celebrex as well as medical expenses and medical monitoring. Plaintiffs also sought injunctive relief, but defendants' motion to dismiss the claim for injunctive relief was granted in 2002. In addition, Pfizer and Pharmacia are defendants in a number of individual product liability suits in various federal and state courts alleging injury as a result of the use of Celebrex.

Pfizer and Pharmacia also are defendants in two purported class actions filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in January and July 2002 alleging that the companies misrepresented and over-promoted Celebrex in violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and that they misled the FDA to obtain approval of Celebrex. Plaintiffs seek damages, including punitive damages, and certain injunctive relief, but state no claims for personal injuries. A Canadian subsidiary of Pfizer is the defendant in a purported class action filed in the Superior Court, Province of Quebec, District of Montreal, in September 2002 by a self-styled consumer organization that asserts substantially similar allegations and seeks substantially similar relief. In addition, a group of state attorneys general has asked Pharmacia to provide documents concerning an investigation it is undertaking with respect to the marketing of Celebrex. Pharmacia is cooperating in that investigation.

Average Wholesale Price Litigation

A number of states and one county have sued Pharmacia and other pharmaceutical manufacturers alleging that they sold certain products at prices lower than the published average wholesale price ("AWP"). The AWP is used to determine reimbursement levels under Medicare Part B and under many private-sector insurance policies and medical plans. Two of the suits also allege that Pharmacia did not report to the states its best price for certain products under the Medicaid program. Pfizer is a defendant in the one action brought by the county but not in the other actions. Each of these suits alleges, among other things, deceptive trade practices and fraud and seeks monetary and other relief, including civil penalties and treble damages.

In addition, Pharmacia, Pfizer and other pharmaceutical manufacturers are defendants in a number of purported class action suits in various federal and state courts brought by individuals, employee welfare plans and self-styled public interest groups that state claims similar to those in the state and county actions. These suits allege, among other things, fraud, unfair competition and unfair trade practices and seek monetary and other relief, including civil penalties and treble damages.

All of these state, county and purported class action suits were transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts for consolidated pretrial proceedings. Certain of the plaintiff states have filed motions to remand their actions to their respective state courts; to date, two of these actions have been remanded. After the court in the consolidated proceeding in Massachusetts granted in part and denied in part defendants' motions to dismiss the master consolidated complaint in May 2003, the plaintiffs filed an amended master consolidated complaint in June 2003. It is anticipated that the defendants will file motions to dismiss the amended master consolidated complaint.

NeoPharm Arbitration

In 1999, Pharmacia and NeoPharm entered into an agreement to develop NeoPharm's technology for lipisome encapsulation of certain cancer drugs. In April 2002, NeoPharm filed a demand for arbitration under the agreement, alleging that Pharmacia had breached the agreement by failing to use reasonable efforts to develop, market and sell the technology. NeoPharm is seeking specific performance and damages for lost profits. In May 2002, Pharmacia filed its response and asserted a counterclaim for rescission and the return of certain payments on the ground that NeoPharm misrepresented the technology. The arbitration proceeding began on May 28, 2003 and is continuing.

Environmental Matters

The Company will be required to submit a corrective measures study report to the United States Environmental Protection Agency with regard to Pharmacia's discontinued industrial chemical facility in North Haven, Connecticut. While the Company has existing reserves designated for remediation, in light of changing circumstances, it is reasonably possible that a material increase in accrued liabilities will be required. However, it is not possible to determine what, if any, additional exposure exists at this time.

Tax Matters

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed and closed its audits of Pfizer Inc's tax returns through 1998 and Warner-Lambert Company through 1995. The IRS is currently conducting audits of Pfizer Inc's tax returns for the years 1999 through 2001 and Warner-Lambert Company for the years 1996 through 1998. With respect to Pharmacia, the IRS is currently conducting audits of Pharmacia Inc.'s tax returns for the years 1998 and 1999, while its tax returns for 1995 through 1997 are open and under appeal. Pharmacia also has responsibility for the currently on-going IRS audit of its former agricultural subsidiary Monsanto's tax returns for the years 1998 and 1999.

We believe that our accrual for tax liabilities is adequate for the relevant periods.

All financial data for 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 reflect our confectionery, shaving and fish-care products businesses as well as the Estrostep, Loestrin and femhrt women's health product lines as discontinued operations. We have not restated periods prior to 2000 for these discontinued operations because the data are not available. After we reorganized our financial systems due to the merger with Warner-Lambert Company, the level of detail necessary to develop financial information for these discontinued operations for periods prior to 2000 was no longer available.

consist of one-third of rental expense which we believe to be a
conservative estimate of an interest factor in our leases, which are not
