ENHANCING THE INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM

Innovation is at the core of everything we do at Pfizer, globally and in India. From drug discovery and manufacturing to supply chain advancements and our engagement with customers and patients, we are out to create breakthroughs that change patients’ lives.

India has a robust and rapidly evolving R&D ecosystem, along with young researchers and scientists who are driven to find solutions to India’s healthcare problems. The Government of India has also prioritised innovation and entrepreneurship. The National IPR Policy aims to accelerate innovation, generation of intellectual property and awareness of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). ‘Startup India’, another initiative by the Government, aims at fostering entrepreneurship and promoting innovation by creating an ecosystem that is conducive to the growth of start-ups.

Pfizer Limited

To support the government’s mission and shape the future of India’s healthcare industry, in 2015, we collaborated with the Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT) at IIT Delhi to launch

THE PFIZER-IIT DELHI INNOVATION AND IP PROGRAM

Up to INR 50 lakh Unencumbered funding per incubatee

28 innovators 5 start-ups Supported by the Graduated Program

The Pfizer IIT-Delhi Innovation and IP Program promotes, celebrates and rewards advancements in healthcare – innovations that are born and brought up in India for the benefit of patients, healthcare professionals and other targeted beneficiaries in the country. From devices to diagnostics, mobile health to medical informatics, the Program aims to bring to life innovations that are made in India, for India. For those who have a ready proof of concept and are seeking to obtain a patent, the Program provides access to IP attorneys and services.

3 start-ups In market

4 start-ups Under regulatory and clinical approvals

Annual Report 2021-22

Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements

Through this Program, we realised that start-ups have the technical knowledge, but need accelerated support to make their innovations market-ready. We were also confident about scaling up our industry-academia-government partnership to support India’s healthcare start-ups to become global solution providers. Thus, in 2022, we decided to revamp the Program and launched a renewed version called

THE PFIZER INDOVATION PROGRAM

‘INDovation’ stands for three things — India, from where the exciting future of global healthcare will emerge; innovation, which is the quest that we are on through this program; and the word ‘ovation’, which is an attempt to acknowledge the young start-ups that will chart the future path of healthcare innovation in India and the world.

Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog, AGNIi, Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT), IIT-Delhi, Pfizer and Social Alpha came together to launch the Program. It will specifically help in identifying, nurturing and taking to market advance-level start-ups focused in the areas of oncology and digital health.

In the first year of launch, the Program will focus on two areas: Oncology and Digital Health. These areas have been chosen due to the increasing burden of cancer in India, coupled with late intervention, and the emerging use of digital health as a solution to ensure better outcomes. Innovations in screening, early detection, better cancer management, and palliative care solutions can help reduce the mortality and morbidity of the disease and lower the cost of terminal care. The focus on digital health is closely aligned with the National Digital Health Mission that forms the backbone of the integrated digital health infrastructure of India. Digital healthcare can enable and improve care delivery, making quality healthcare accessible and affordable.

==> picture [229 x 359] intentionally omitted <==

Taking the Pfizer-IIT Delhi Innovation and IP Program a step ahead, the INDovation Program will accelerate the journey of six start-ups into the market through customised support and by fostering relevant cross-industry collaborations. The Program aims to support innovators and entrepreneurs in the field of oncology or digital health, that have:

The need of the hour is to focus on the high burden of diseases the country is experiencing. It is through innovations in screening, pathology and disease management, mortality rates and costs of terminal care, can be effectively targeted. I appeal to all the start-ups focusing on Digital Health and Oncology to contribute towards the National Digital Health Mission and to help India come out of the cancer epidemic.

ADDRESSING THE RISING BURDEN OF AMR IN INDIA

AMR or antimicrobial resistance occurs when pathogens evolve and find ways to resist the effects of antimicrobial medicines. The resistant pathogens survive, grow and spread their resistance. The more an antimicrobial is used, the more pressure pathogens have to develop resistance, which then leads to a patient contracting AMR.

Misuse and overuse of antimicrobials has resulted in the World Health Organization (WHO) listing AMR under the top 10 global health threats facing humanity.

[Source: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): Pfizer]

As one of the largest anti-infective companies in the industry, we recognise our responsibility and commitment towards India’s fight against AMR. We have partnered with institutions and non-government organisations to curb the spread of AMR.

Project Parivartan

Pfizer has partnered with the Americares India Foundation (AIF), a leading health-focused relief and development not-for-profit organisation, to improve Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) practices, reduce the spread of AMR in healthcare facilities and build a model for institutional capacity building. This multi-year programme supports the Government’s National Action Plan on AMR objective to curb the spread of AMR in India.

Goal:

To demonstrate the tangible impact of activities such as infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship on key outcome indicators in hospitals (e.g., reduction in hospital-acquired infections)

How does this work?

Each hospital will undergo a self-assessment using globally accepted tools developed by the WHO and National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to identify the current gaps.

A team of domain experts will engage with the hospital administration over three years to facilitate the introduction of the IPC program and AMR as part of the overall AMR initiative.

At the end of the three-year program, each hospital should be the Centre of Excellence for its respective state.

Pfizer Limited

Partnership with ICMR

We have also partnered with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to strengthen the movement against AMR and for IPC in India.

Goal:

To improve the existing surveillance systems to track AMR patterns by expanding Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) and IPC programs in secondary care hospitals

The program was launched in 36 120 33 Collaboration with Participating hospitals Mid- and small-level experts in 11 Nodal catering to rural patient participating hospitals / population across India nursing homes hospitals (mentor centres)

Launch of an online learning platform (OLP)

The nursing staff, paramedical staff and healthcare workers are at the frontline for ensuring patient care and preventing healthcare-associated infections. To upskill them on IPC practices, we partnered with Americares India Foundation (AIF), a leading health-focused relief and development not-for-profit organisation to develop a free OLP (www.open-amr.org) that will offer certification programs on various aspects of IPC.

The web-based platform can be accessed by any nurse anywhere in India. It offers courses on IPC practices and antimicrobial stewardship practices (AMSP) under antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

India’s first free-of-cost online learning programme on AMR for nurses

The program is launched in 7 regional languages English, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Marathi

PARTNERING WITH INSTITUTIONS TO TRANSFORM CANCER CARE

The number of new cancer cases in India is rising at an exponential rate, with cancer care getting delayed due to late diagnosis and intervention. According to ICMR, the number of Indians suffering from cancer is projected to increase from 26.7 million in 2021 to 29.8 million in 2025.

The first step to cancer care is reducing exposure to modifiable risk factors, large-scale screening to help early detection and diagnosis, and supporting patients through their journey. To enable this, especially among patients from underprivileged backgrounds, we have partnered with Tata Trusts and Doctors for You to undertake

FROM THE MD’S DESK

BEING THE NEW FOR BETTER HEALTH AND SUSTAINABLE VALUE

Dear Shareholders,

As India celebrates its Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, it is pertinent to take note of the remarkable strides our country has taken in reinventing itself, bringing new and innovative solutions to not just national but global challenges, and placing our great country on the global map as one that is addressing the needs of citizens of the world.

For more than seven decades as a company in India, Pfizer Limited too has been devoted to bringing scientific breakthroughs and revolutionary therapies and vaccines that have transformed the lives of millions of patients, partnered the Government in its healthcare and innovation priorities and created sustainable value for our shareholders. Over the past few years, we have been significantly transforming the way we engage with our customers while ensuring people in India have ever improving access to our therapies and vaccines. Some of these interventions have helped us deliver a four times increase in retail penetration over the past three years.

We are now accelerating this transformation to ensure that we invest in enhanced customer experience to support our portfolio of innovative medicines. Your Company’s future growth will be driven by significant investments in new functionalities, services and customer experiences to support its

breakthrough science.

Our DNA, culture and essence of innovation have only evolved every day and we believe it is time for us to take a leap into the future, to ‘be the new’.

For us, being the new includes

Making digital the core of our new identity

Big data, Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are intrinsic to our ability to deliver on our purpose: Breakthroughs that Change Patients’ Lives. Our focus is on building new brands while strengthening the existing ones. We are devising tools and expanding our digital capabilities so that healthcare professionals (HCPs) have better access to our scientific and therapy area expertise through new and enhanced platforms, tailored content, on-demand support and real-time insights. These enhanced digital tools and platforms will ensure meaningful engagement between the patients and HCPs, thus bettering patient outcomes.

Corporate Overview

Building capability to serve patients better

This curated go-to-market approach for each business and therapy area requires us to make some changes to our workforce to ensure that we have the right expertise and resources to meet our customers’ changing needs. We have added several specialised roles across commercial, medical, digital and access functions, which are being taken up by existing and new colleagues. Subject Matter Experts across Market Access, Strategic Accounts and Medical functions, and external partnerships will play a critical role in better addressing customer and patient needs.

Our aim has always been to deliver faster, better services to our patients and enhance their experience. To ensure this, we must adapt, evolve and change across all levels of the organisation. We rolled out a transformative journey for the leadership team to be aligned to the strategic changes that will contribute to the long-term vision of the organisation. To achieve our goal of being a science- and innovation-based organisation, we revamped the Talent Planning approach to identify mission-critical roles and create customised learning and development plans for our leaders.

In line with our Bold vision of ‘Unleashing the Power of our People’ and making Pfizer an amazing workplace for all, we created our Employee Value Proposition— #BeTheBreakthrough. It is your Company’s constant

endeavour to be a truly diverse and inclusive workplace. Our Leadership Team has taken significant efforts to ensure gender-diverse teams. This year, we inched closer to our goal of having 10% women representation in the field and 20% in the Leadership Team.

Continuing to focus on the established and innovative portfolio for future growth

Your Company has seen strong growth over the years and has ambitions to continue on the growth trajectory for the future across its innovative and established portfolio. Your Company delivered a growth of 11.2% (MAT March 2022) with revenues growing by 15.5% to INR 2,530.2 crore from INR 2,190.1 crore last year. Becosules, Corex-Dx, Mucaine, Dolonex, Magnex, Minipress, Eliquis and Gelusil continued to show strong performance in their respective therapy areas and maintained brand leadership.

Working towards building a healthier India

Your Company believes that every individual has the right to enhanced access to healthcare, medicines and vaccines. Most Indian and global healthcare societies recommend priority immunisation against pneumococcal diseases for those at risk. We have, therefore, been front-ending the discussion on the need for undertaking adult immunisation with both the central and state governments. We have partnered with the US-India Partnership Forum to raise awareness about the need for adult immunisation. We are also making recommendations towards the development of a comprehensive policy at the national level for adult immunisation and focusing on exploring other avenues for the inclusion of adult immunisation in specific government programs.

Additionally, as a step towards building our Corporate Immunity Quotient, we continue to provide access to Quadrivalent Flu Vaccine and Pneumococcal Vaccine to all colleagues and their eligible dependents. Recently, we have also signed an agreement with India’s leading private sector general insurance company to raise awareness about the importance of pneumococcal vaccination among health insurance beneficiaries in the retail and group segments.

Looking beyond business

As a commitment and promise to patients and their caregivers, your Company launched a Patient Charter for India that commits our organization to listen to, act upon and support patient groups and patient voices in the course of our work in the country.

Your Company believes in building on the country’s vision of ‘Make in India’ by supporting Indian innovations. Pfizer recently launched Version 2.0 of the Pfizer IIT Delhi Innovation and IP Program — Pfizer INDovation — a unique incubator accelerator program to support healthcare start-ups bring their solutions to the people of India. In the first year of launch, the program will focus on healthcare start-ups in the areas of oncology and digital health. This unique partnership model with over 15 government, corporate and industry bodies is designed to specifically help in identifying, nurturing and taking to market advanced-level start-ups. Pfizer INDovation brings Niti Aayog, IIT Delhi and Pfizer as the core partners with several other partners joining the program to support entrepreneurs in their journey.

With a clear focus on supporting patients in their treatment journey, your Company has launched multiple cancer-care initiatives. Among them are Project Aastha, a helpdesk to offer cancer-support services to patients and their caregivers in 10 cancer hospitals across eight states; Project Parivartan to help healthcare facilities demonstrate measurable improvement in key Infection Prevention and Control parameters and curb the spread of antimicrobial resistance and the launch of an Online Platform for Educating Nurses on Anti-microbial Resistance.

The year has been one of transformation, both within the organisation and for the patients and HCPs. The new Pfizer has set out on an ambitious journey to accelerate digital health and provide easy access to healthcare solutions. I express my deepest gratitude to all those who have supported us on this journey to enhance patients’ lives.

I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to Mr. R. A. Shah, who took Pfizer to great heights under his leadership as the Chairman for over 2 decades and prior to that as a Director for more than 3 decades. His leadership and guidance have further fuelled the passion to innovate among us. The reigns have now been passed on to Mr. Pradip Shah and I would like to sincerely welcome him on the Board and wish him great success.

Warm regards

Your Company’s sales for the financial year ended March 31, 2022 stood at 2,530.28 Crore as compared to2,190.04 Crore in the previous year, which represents a growth of 15.54%. The sales for the year under review are not strictly comparable with that of the previous year on account of the impact of COVID-19.

Profit before tax for the financial year ended March 31, 2022 was 772.89 Crore as compared to668.72 Crore in the previous year. The profit after tax stood at 612.56 Crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2022 as compared to497.61 Crore in the previous year, recording a growth of 23.10%. ECONOMIC OVERVIEW Following a contraction of 7.30% in 2020-21, the Indian economy was expected to grow by 8.00-8.50% in 2022-23. Optimism about strong economic recovery was tempered during this fiscal towards the end of 2021 with the emergence of second wave of COVID-19 and the RussiaUkraine crisis along with the pre-existing challenges like inflation, supply shortages, etc. IMF corrected India’s GDP growth forecast for the year 2023 down to 8.20% on account of weak domestic demand coupled with inflationary pressures owing to the ongoing geopolitical crisis.

Inflation remains to be a key challenge for economies around the world and India is no exception. A large part of the surge in inflation was earlier driven by high food prices, followed by fuel prices that started rising in 2021. Rising prices of commodities and raw materials globally have also seeped into the economy. However, the consumer

Pfizer Limited

confidence in India has seen gradual improvement with the easing of pandemic restrictions. The impact of pandemic severely restricted Indian consumers’ spends over the past couple of years. There appears to be a resurgence in the consumer spends which augurs well for the economy.

In the Union Budget 2022-23, the government has allocated 86,200 crore to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, in comparison to73,932 crore in the previous year, an increase of 16.55%. This is primarily driven by increased allocation to centrally-sponsored public health schemes to continue building sustainable healthcare infrastructure and ensure system preparedness to handle increasing healthcare needs.

India’s gross tax collection for the financial year 2021-22 has beaten expectations with total tax collection touching `27.07 lakh crore. Higher capital spending on infrastructure and asset-building projects are likely to boost growth multipliers in the medium term.

CURRENT HEALTHCARE AND PHARMACEUTICALS ENVIRONMENT

Indian Pharmaceutical Industry Market Overview:

The Indian Pharma Market (IPM) with turnover of `1,85,498 Crore for the period of April 2021 – March 2022 has registered a robust growth of 18.2% against single digit growth of 4.3% in the previous year. Post recovery from the second COVID-19 wave and with the improvement in patient footfalls, the growth was primarily driven by volumes, which contributed 9.7%, followed by price at 4.3% and new products introductions at 4.2%. Multinational companies hold about 18% market share and have grown at 11.9%.

Therapeutic Growth:

The acute care segment, with a growth of 21.7% has outperformed Chronic segment’s 12.6% growth. The acute therapy areas of Anti-infectives with 35% growth, Respiratory with 54.2% growth and Pain with 21.4% grew at a faster pace which propelled performance of the Acute segment.

Market Prognosis:

The Indian Pharmaceutical Market is forecasted to grow at 9.2% CAGR between 2021 and 2026, to reach `2,95,084 Crore by 2026. One of the growth drivers for the pharmaceutical industry during the forecast period is expected to be partnerships and co-marketing agreements between Indian and multinational companies, thereby benefitting both originator and local partners. Such alliances will drive rapid and broader market penetration for new brands and an increase in sales for more established products.

Expansion of e-pharmacy and chain businesses. E-pharmacy sales, which were already rising rapidly, saw a strong surge in demand during the second wave, of the pandemic, registering more than 25% growth in 2021. The

rapid growth of the sector is encouraging investments from large businesses, and consolidation of smaller players.

Increase in health insurance coverage. The central government’s Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) health insurance scheme will be a key driver of healthcare access and improve health outcomes over the forecast period. The ‘ Aap Ke Dwar Ayushman ’ campaign, launched in February 2021 to facilitate door-to-door beneficiary mobilization, brought over 40 million people under the coverage of the scheme.

Constraints:

Wider implementation of trade margin caps. Following trade margin caps and price cuts for non-scheduled cancer drugs in 2019, the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority had indicated that it intends to apply trade margin caps to a larger number of non-scheduled drugs. While the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the price control initiatives in the short-term, implementation of TMR led price caps is expected to re-emerge in the medium to long term. Pfizer supports the principles of Trade Margin Rationalization with due consideration to certain technical aspects, such as exclusion of non-commercial and nontrade supplies in the design and application of the pricing formulae.

Expansion of DPCO price controls. Originally scheduled for introduction in 2020, the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) update was delayed owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. A new version of the NLEM list is now anticipated in 2022 with a possibility of expansion of the number of drugs included in price controls.

The COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic had a negative impact on certain therapeutic areas, such as non-covid vaccines and other chronic segments due to reduced access to healthcare facilities. While this access has improved again following the relaxation of pandemiclinked restrictions; the continuing risk of increase in COVID infection rates due to current and new variants remains a potential challenge for the future.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE PHARMA OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on public health and ensuring availability of vaccines to the population continues to be a major priority for the Government. In addition to COVID-19 management, the Government has also been focusing on Research and Development, promotion of indigenous drugs/medicines through an enabling policy framework and creation of a consumerfriendly pricing regime for the non-scheduled drugs.

Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP) released a draft R&D Policy in October 2021 to catalyze research & development and innovation in the pharmaceutical sector which aims to simplify regulatory processes to enable rapid drug discovery, explore mechanisms to incentivize private sector investment in research, enhanced academiaindustry collaboration among others. It is envisaged that such a policy ecosystem will give a boost to innovation while also ensuring affordable medicines for all. It is

Annual Report 2021-22

Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements

pertinent to note that the extent to which Government is successful in creating a viable R&D ecosystem will depend on factors such as autonomy to institutions for collaborating with industry, preserving strong Intellectual Property (IP) protection, funding from the Government, streamlining regulatory approvals and aligning India’s regulatory systems with global standards and systems. Your Company has been highlighting the need for these interventions in interaction with the Government and through industry forums.

Your Company has also been engaging with the Government on the need for streamlining and expediting regulatory approval for new drugs with support from the Drug Regulators. While the process of drug approvals is well defined, there are often delays in the approval processes which impacts the planning and launch of new drugs. Your Company has been advocating for a faster and more predictable approval process with defined timelines for each stage of the regulatory approval process. This would ensure timely access of drugs to needy patients while also facilitating ease of doing business for the industry.

The drug pricing regulator- National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) initiated consultation with the industry in May 2022 for finalizing the Trade Margin Rationalization (TMR) regime. The intent of the Government behind introducing TMR is to address cases of high trade margins in sale of non-scheduled drugs. Your company in principle supports implementation of TMR while also highlighting the need for certain checks and balances such that non-commercial/non-trade supplies are excluded for the purposes of determining trade margins.

The PM–Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM) was approved by the Cabinet in September 2021 with an outlay of about `64,180 crore over six years (till FY 25-26). The Scheme aims to develop capacities of health systems and institutions across the continuum of care at all levels viz., primary, secondary and tertiary, while preparing health systems in responding effectively to the current and future pandemic/disasters. Given the focus on capacity building along with development of an IT-enabled disease surveillance system through establishment of surveillance laboratories at various levels, your Company believes such initiative is an important step towards developing the resilience of the healthcare system while addressing the challenges arising out of health emergencies in future.

NITI Aayog in October 2021 released a report on ‘Health Insurance for India’s Missing Middle’ highlighting the absence of insurance coverage for a sizeable chunk of our population.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:

GO-TO-MARKET TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY:

Your Company has been operating in India since our country became a Republic. In these 72 years, your Company has always been focused on achieving breakthroughs that make India a healthier place to live in. Each of Pfizer’s innovations and breakthroughs have been a result of our patient-centric way of working. As you know, your Company adopted Pfizer’s global Purpose – Breakthroughs that change patients’ lives in 2018. Since then, we have been on a transformation journey to be the most customer-centric and innovative pharmaceutical company in India.

In the first phase of this journey, your Company worked towards consolidating a robust portfolio with the right mix of innovative and established products. To grow our established business, we renewed our focus on delivering specialty medicines and making our established products accessible and affordable for millions of patients across larger geographies. In our established business, we have doubled our doctor base, doubled our retailer coverage, increased our stockists base by four times, and expanded our presence to over 3,00,000 towns and villages. To increase the breadth of our innovative portfolio, your Company has introduced many breakthrough medicines at lightning speed.

Through your Company’s innovative and established brands, we have changed the lives of countless patients. With Zavicefta, a market leader in its category, we have enabled healthcare professionals to treat persistent infections that are resistant to antibiotics. It has saved the lives of more than 50 thousand patients to date and has helped families reunite with their loved ones. With Prevenar13 vaccine, we have protected numerous children and adults from Pneumonia, one of the most common infectious diseases in the world. Through Eliquis, we have touched the lives of more than 4 lakh patients and reduced the risk of strokes. With Enbrel we have enabled a better quality of life and mobility for the Rheumatoid Arthritis patients.

With a diverse portfolio in place, the next step in your Company’s journey was to deliver our medicines to our customers in a way that would not only help us grow but also create a greater impact on customers, patients, and communities. Thus, we set out to redefine our customer experience.

In the second phase of your Company’s transformation, we will stand true to our commitment to our new Go-To-Market Strategy and transform the way we engage customers and patients. We will place customer experience at the center and revolutionize how we introduce our robust portfolio to HCPs, retailers, institutions, Governments and other stakeholders. In effect, we will move away from just delivering our products to understanding our customers’ journeys. Our unique proposition will lie in the value we will add at every step of this journey through multiple innovative solutions including omni-channel interactions with our customers.

To make this a reality, your Company added new functions like the Patient and HealthCare Experience Studio team and Health Solutions Partner (HSP) team. Your Company’s new and existing functions will be strengthened by new customer-facing specialists called Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who will support our field colleagues deliver this incremental value. The Patient and HealthCare Experience Studio team will create informative yet engaging content which will be leverage by our customer facing colleagues. The HSP function through SMEs like the Health Solutions Partners (HSP), will be focused on providing customized health solutions to HCPs with the purpose of better customer experience and enhanced impact of our medicines and vaccines on patients and society. The Key Account Management function, now known as Strategic Account Management (SAM) will be reinforced by Strategic Health Partners (SHPs) who will be focused on leading long-term, consultative, senior executive relationships with healthcare institutions to become trusted business advisors.

We will enhance our commitment to communities with the help of HealthCare Access Specialists (HAS) and Patient Engagement Partners (PEPs) who will be a part of the Access team. A HAS colleague will mobilise new sources of funding and enhance partnerships in new payor segments like State Governments and Insurance companies. A PEP will work on generating insights and providing stellar experience for our Patients and HCPs with regards to Pfizer Patient Value Offerings. In addition to these SMEs, there are many more such roles that will be added to help us step into the future.

Going forward, the role, the purpose, and designation of our customer facing colleagues (CFCs) will now expand into that of a HealthCare Executive (HCE) colleague. In the new Pfizer, HCEs will need to demonstrate a growth mindset and a better understanding of their stakeholders. They will need to use digital channels and analyze data to not only generate incremental revenue but also provide value-added services to HCPs, retailers, and institutions. Moreover, the HCEs will enhance their strategic relationships with our customers by leveraging their new superpowers - the SMEs.

In summary, with your Company’s transformation, whenever a Pfizer colleague interacts with a customer in the future, they will carry a portfolio that will not only include our products but also the value-added services they will provide through the SMEs and other crossfunctional colleagues. This is being the new for all of us and the crux of how Pfizer is changing in India.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

1) Contingent liability for litigations under Value Added Tax (VAT) and Central Sales Tax (CST) [Refer note 24 and 41(b) in the financial statements]

Our audit procedures included but were not limited to the following:

We obtained an understanding of the management’s process for:

The Company has outstanding litigations pertaining to Sales tax/ Value added tax (VAT) for several assessment years which the Company has challenged at different forums. These litigations pertain to following two categories:

identification of legal and tax matters initiated against the Company,
assessment of accounting treatment for each such litigation identified under Ind AS 37 accounting principles, and for measurement of amounts involved.
A. Litigation on account of non-submission of documentary evidence at the time of assessment such as Form F and Form C pending • to be issued by concerned authorities. Total liability in this category is Rs. 555.82 crores, out of which Rs. 25.02 crores have been provided • for and Rs. 76.73 crores have been disclosed as contingent liability in accordance with Ind AS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, based on management’s assessment in consultation with professional advice from the external tax consultants.
We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls around above process.

• We obtained an understanding of the nature of litigations pending against the Company and discussed the key developments during the year for key litigations with the management and respective legal counsels handling such cases on behalf of the Company. We also tested the independence, objectivity and competence of such management experts involved.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

We focused on the developments in the existing litigations and new litigations, which could have materially impacted the amounts recorded as provisions or disclosed as contingent liability in the financial statements. We reviewed the demand notices, assessment orders and appeal orders for all such cases where there was any update since previous year audit and obtained grounds of appeal submitted by the management at various authorities in consultation with their external tax consultants.
B. Litigation involving question of law and certain disallowance made by authorities in assessment orders that the Company has appealed against before the relevant appellate authorities. Total demand for such cases is 105.61 crores, out of which8.97 crores have been provided for and `6.06 crores have been disclosed as contingent liability in accordance with Ind AS 37, based on management’s assessment in consultation with professional advice from the external tax consultants.

For litigations on account of non-submission of documentary evidence, we obtained management’s plan of action to obtain remaining forms/documentary evidences from VAT authorities in different states and actions taken by the management in this respect, and with the assistance of our Indirect tax team, validated the management’s assessment and plan of action as obtained above.

The eventual outcome of these legal proceedings is dependent on the outcome of future events and unexpected adverse outcomes could significantly impact the Company’s reported profits and balance sheet position.
The amounts involved are material and the application of accounting principles as given under Ind AS 37, in order to determine the • amount to be recorded as a liability or to be disclosed as a contingent liability, in each case, is inherently subjective, and needs careful evaluation and judgement to be applied by the management.
We reviewed each external tax consultants’ response to ensure that the conclusions reached are supported by sufficient rationale according to the relevant laws and adequate information is included for the management to determine the appropriate accounting treatment of such cases in the financial statements.
Key judgments are also made by the management in estimating the amount of liabilities, provisions and/or contingent liabilities related to aforementioned litigations.

We assessed the appropriateness of methods used, and the reliability of underlying data for the underlying calculations made for quantifying the amounts involved. We also tested the arithmetical accuracy of such calculations.

Considering the degree of judgment, significance of the amounts involved, inherent high estimation uncertainty and reliance on external tax experts, this matter has been identified as a key audit matter for the current year audit.
- We have evaluated the adequacy of disclosures made by the Company in the financial statements in view of the requirements as specified in the Indian Accounting Standards.
On a sample basis, we obtained and reviewed the necessary evidence which includes correspondence with the external tax consultants, and where necessary, inspected minutes of case proceedings available in public domain, to support the decisions and rationale for creation of provisions and / or disclosure of contingent liabilities in respect of each such litigation selected for testing.

Based on the audit procedures performed, the judgements made by the management appears to be reasonable and disclosures made in respect of these litigations were appropriate in the context of the financial statements taken as a whole.

(2) Contingent liability for dPCO Matters [Refer note 19 and 41(a) in the financial statements)

Our audit procedures included but were not limited to the following:

We obtained an understanding of the management’s process for updating the status of the legal case, assessment of accounting treatment in accordance with Ind AS 37, and for measurement of amounts involved.

The pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated which increases inherent litigation risk. The Company faces a number of legal and regulatory cases, of which the most significant is a litigation under DPCO as disclosed in Note 19 and 41(a) to the financial statements. DPCO has issued various orders/ notification for fixing the price of various pharma products.

We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls around above process.

We inspected correspondence with the Company’s external legal counsel in order to corroborate our understanding of these matters, accompanied by discussions with both internal and external legal counsels. We also tested the independence, objectivity and competence of such management experts involved and lawyers representing these cases in the courts.

With respect to the sales made by the Company of the pharmaceutical products covered by the aforementioned DPCO orders, in earlier years as well as the current year, the Company has received demand notices for overcharging price (charging price over the price fixed by the DPCO for such products). The Company has challenged these demands form DPCO and the cases are pending at various High Courts in India.

We obtained direct confirmation from the external legal counsel handling DPCO litigation with respect to the legal determination of the liability arising from such litigation, and assessment of resulting provision recognised and contingent liability disclosures in the financial statements in accordance with requirements of Ind AS 37.

Total demand from above cases aggregates to Rs. 163.91 crore out of which the Company has provided Rs. 20.45 crore while Rs. 130.58 crore has been disclosed as contingent liability based on management’s assessment in accordance with professional legal advice from the dealing lawyers.

We also evaluated the response received from the legal counsel to ensure that the conclusions reached is supported by sufficient legal rationale.

The amounts involved are material and the application of accounting principles as given under Ind AS 37, in order to determine the amount to be recognised as a liability or to be disclosed as a contingent liability, is inherently subjective, and needs careful evaluation and judgement to be applied by the management.

We evaluated the Company’s disclosures for adequate disclosure regarding the significant litigations of the Company.

Key judgments are also made by the management in • estimating the amount of liabilities, provisions and/ or contingent liabilities related to aforementioned litigation.

We focused on this area as the eventual outcome is uncertain and unexpected adverse outcomes could significantly impact the financial position, and hence, considered this matter to be a key audit matter for the current year audit.

The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

The accompanying financial statements have been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intend to liquidate the
Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.

if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern;

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure B

Independent Auditor’s Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’)

In conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of Pfizer Limited (‘the Company’) as at and for the year ended 31 March 2022, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Company as at that date.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (‘the Guidance Note’) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of the Company’s business, including adherence to the Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the ICAI prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, and the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our
audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements includes obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements

A company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements include those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal controls with reference to

financial financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Pfizer Limited

f) Measurement of fair values

A number of accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirely in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:

Note 36 – Share based payment arrangements

Note 5 – Investment property

Note 38 – Financial instruments.

3 Significant accounting policies

a) Revenue
(i) Sale of goods:
- Revenue arises mainly from the sale of products.

To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Company follows a 5-step process:

a) Identifying the contract with a customer
b) Identifying the performance obligations
c) Determining the transaction price
d) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
e) Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.

The total transaction price for a contract is allocated amongst the various performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices. The transaction price for

a contract excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

The Company receives revenue for supply of goods to external customers against orders received. The majority of contracts that the Company enters into relate to sales orders containing single performance obligations for the delivery of products. Product revenue is recognised when control of the goods is passed to the customer. The point at which control passes is determined by each customer arrangement, but generally occurs on delivery to the customer.

Product revenue represents net invoice value including fixed and variable consideration. Variable consideration arises on the sale of goods as a result of discounts and allowances given and accruals for estimated future returns and rebates. Revenue is not recognised in full until it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur.

The methodology and assumptions used to estimate rebates and returns are monitored and adjusted regularly in the light of historical trends, past experience and projected market conditions. Once the uncertainty associated with the returns and rebates is resolved, revenue is adjusted accordingly.

(ii) Rendering of services:

Revenue from services is recognized as and when services are rendered and related costs are incurred, in accordance with the terms of the specific contracts.

(iii) Rental income:

Rental income from investment property and sub-leasing is recognized as a part of other income in statement of profit and loss.

(iv) Interest income:

Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the interest rate applicable.

(v) Multiple delivery arrangements:

When two or more revenue generating activities or deliverables are provided under a single arrangement, each deliverable that is considered to be a separate unit of account is accounted for separately. The allocation of consideration from a revenue arrangement to it’s separate units of account is based on the relative fair value of each unit.

b) Foreign exchange transactions

The date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment

Annual Report 2021-22

132

Statutory Reports Financial Statements

Corporate Overview

asset or deferred income liability. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, a date of transaction is established for each payment or receipt. The exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year are recognized in the statement of profit and loss of the year. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign exchange, which are outstanding as at the year end, are translated at the closing exchange rate and the resultant exchange differences are recognized in statement of profit and loss.

c) Property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation / amortization and impairment losses. The cost of property, plant and equipment includes taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from tax authorities), duties, freight and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the respective assets.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in statement of profit and loss. Refer note (e) below for details on impairment.

(ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure that are directly attributable to the property, plant and equipment are capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

(iii) depreciation

a) Depreciation is calculated on straight line basis as per the rates determined in Part C of Schedule II of the Act or based on estimated useful life of the assets determined by the management.
b) Depreciation on assets other than those specified in a) above are provided at:

Assets Land : Leasehold	Rate Amortized over the lease period
Buildings : On	Amortized over the
leasehold land	lease period
Leasehold	Amortized over
improvements	the lease period or estimated useful life, which ever is lower

Assets acquired under the Scheme of Amalgamation from erstwhile Wyeth Limited are depreciated over the

estimated residual useful life of the assets as determined by an independent expert:

	Assets Computers Furniture Ofce equipment Machinery and equipment Vehicles	Rate 16.66% to 50% 33.33% to 50% 14.28% to 100% 8.33% to 100% 25% to 50%

Depreciation on additions is provided on a pro-rata basis from the month of capitalization. Depreciation on deletions during the year is provided up to the month in which the asset is sold / discarded.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straightline basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset

(iv) Reclassification to investment property

When the use of a property changes from owner occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified as investment property at it’s carrying amount on the date of reclassification.

d) Goodwill and other intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortization / impairment losses.

(i) Goodwill:

Goodwill arising on acquisition of business is carried at costs less any accumulated impairment losses

Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

(ii) Other intangible assets:

Other intangible assets comprises of trademarks and computer software.

Trademarks are amortized on a straight line basis, over a period of 10 years. Cost of computer software includes cost such as salary and other expenditure incurred on development of the computer software and is amortized on straight-line basis over a period of 10 years, which in management’s estimate represents the period during which economic benefits will be derived from their use.

e) Impairment of financial and non-financial assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or

Pfizer Limited

133

when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cashgenerating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or of Company’s assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to it’s recoverable amount.

Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognized in statement of profit and loss.

For assets excluding goodwill (refer note 3(d) above), an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exists or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

f) Investment property

Investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property is recognized in statement of profit and loss.

Investment property is depreciated using straight line method over its estimated useful life of 33 years.

g) Inventories

Raw materials, stock-in-trade, work-in-progress, finished goods and packing materials are valued at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Cost of finished goods and workin-progress includes cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of overheads to bring the inventory to it’s present location and condition. Stores and spares are valued at lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value.

The net realizable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling price of related finished goods. Raw materials and other supplies held for use in production of inventories are not written down below cost except in cases where material prices have declined and it is

estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realizable value.

The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.

Finished goods expiring within 90 days (nearexpiry inventory) as at the balance sheet date have been fully provided for.

h) Assets held for sale

Such assets are generally measured at lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and investment properties are no longer amortized or depreciated.

i) employee benefits

(i)

twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short - term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, bonus, short term compensated absences and the expected cost of ex-gratia is recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

(ii) Long - term employee benefits

a) defined contribution plan

The Company’s contribution towards employees’ Superannuation plan is recognized as an expense in statement of profit and loss when they are due.

b) defined benefit plans

(i) Provident fund

Provident fund contributions are made to a trust administered by the trustees. Trust makes investments and settles members claims. Interest payable to the members shall not be at a rate lower than the statutory rate. Liability is recognized for any shortfall in the plan assets vis-à-vis actuarially determined liability of the fund obligation.

(ii) Gratuity plan

The Company’s gratuity benefit scheme is a defined benefit plan. The Company’s net obligation in respect of the gratuity benefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted.

The present value of the obligation as at the balance sheet date

Annual Report 2021-22

134

Statutory Reports Financial Statements

Corporate Overview

under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method by an independent actuary, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan, are based on the market yields on government securities as at the reporting date.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit obligation, which comprise of actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).

(iii) Other long-term employment benefits

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognized as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation as at the reporting date using projected unit credit method by an independent actuary. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan, are based on the market yields on government securities as at the reporting date.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit obligation, which comprise of actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets are recognized in statement of profit and loss.

j) Provisions and contingent liabilities

The Company creates a provision when there exists a present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote,

no provision or disclosure is made. Contingent assets are not recognized in financial statements.

k) Leases

a) Company as a Lessee

The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset
(ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and
(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell

and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are re-measured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the rightof-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-ofuse asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in statement of profit and loss.

Ind AS 116 requires lessee to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Company’s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.

ROU asset have been separately presented under the head “Property, Plant and Equipment” and lease payments have been classified as financing activity under cash flows.

b) Company as a lessor:

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

l) Income tax

Income tax comprises of current tax and deferred tax.

Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amount and where it intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and liability simultaneously.

deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of taxable temporary difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognized in respect of for the carried forward of unused tax losses and the carry forward of unused tax credits. The company assesses whether taxable profits will be available against which it can utilise a deductible temporary difference, it considers whether tax law restricts the source of taxable profits against which it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference. If tax law restricts the utilisation of losses to deduction against income of a specific type, a deductible temporary difference is assessed in combination

only with other deductible temporary differences of the appropriate type. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to reassess realization. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

m) employee stock options scheme

Pfizer Inc., USA, as a part of the long-term incentive awards offers certain common stock (shares) to the employees of Pfizer Inc., and its subsidiaries.

Compensation cost relating to employee stock options granted by Pfizer Inc., to employees of the Company is measured using the fair value method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of the options on a straight-line basis.

The grant date fair value of equity settled sharebased payment awards granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as expense is based on the estimate of the number of awards for which the related service and nonmarket vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market vesting conditions at the vesting date.

n) earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit after tax attributable to equity shareholders for the year, with the respective weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

o) dividends

The final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.

p) Financial instruments

(i) Recognition and initial measurement

Trade receivables issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss

(FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.

(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial assets - Subsequent measurement and gains and losses:

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified and measured at

a) amortized cost;
b) FVTOCI – equity investment; or
c) FVTPL

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets. a) financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL

the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
b) Financial assets at FVTPL

These assets are remeasured at fair value, at each reporting date. Net gains and losses, arising from such remeasurement including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in statement of profit and loss.

c) Financial assets at amortized cost

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in statement of profit and loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in statement of profit and loss.

d) Financial assets at FVTOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in statement of profit and loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of

Pfizer Limited

137

the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are not reclassified to statement of profit and loss.

Financial liabilities: Classifcation, subsequent measurement and gains and losses:

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held- for- trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in statement of profit and loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the interest method. Interest effective expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in statement of profit and loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in statement of profit and loss.

(iii) derecognition

Financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expires, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.

If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

Financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expired.

The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognized in statement of profit and loss.

q) Recent accounting pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 23, 2022, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022, as below.

Ind AS 16, Property Plant and equipment – The amendment clarifies that excess of net sale proceeds of items produced over the cost of testing, if any, shall not be recognized in the profit or loss but deducted from the directly attributable costs considered as part of cost of an item of property, plant, and equipment. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2022. The Company has evaluated the amendment and there is no impact on its Standalone financial statements.

Ind AS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets – The amendment specifies that the ‘cost of fulfilling’ a contract comprises the ‘costs that relate directly to the contract’. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labor, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (an example would be the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract). The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2022, although early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the amendment and the impact is not expected to be material.

B. Measurement of fair values

i As at 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2021, the fair values of the properties are ₹234.23 crore and ₹234.23 crore respectively. These valuations are based on valuations performed by Sundeep H.B. & Co., an accredited independent valuer. Sundeep H.B. & Co.is a registered valuer as defined under rule 2 of Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017. The fair value measurement for all the investment properties has been categorized as a level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The independent valuers have adopted Land and Building method of valuation. The valuation has been arrived at considering the location of the property, market enquiries, sale instances etc.

Goodwill:

For the purposes of impairment testing, carrying amount of goodwill has been allocated to the following Cash Generating Unit (CGU) as follows:

	Currency: ₹ in crore	Currency: ₹ in crore
Particulars	As at	As at
	31 March 2022	31 March 2021

OpeningBalance	527.49	527.49
Additions duringtheyear	-	-
Amortised duringtheyear	-	-
Closing balance	527.49	527.49

The recoverable amount of the above CGU has been assessed using a value-in-use model. Value in use is calculated as the net present value of the projected post-tax cash flows plus a terminal value of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill is allocated. Initially a post-tax discount rate is applied to calculate the net present value of the post-tax cash flows.

The cash flow projections include specific estimates for five years developed using internal forecasts and a terminal growth rate thereafter of 2 % (31 March 2021: 2%). The planning horizon reflects the assumptions for short-to-mid term market developments.

Discount rate reflects the current market assessment of the risks. The discount rate is estimated based on the weighted average cost of capital for the Company. Post-tax discount rate used for the year ended 31 March 2022 was 8.75% (31 March 2021: 8.75%).

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the relevant industries and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.

The management believes that any reasonable possible change in the key assumptions would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit.

The Plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

The level of benefit provided depends on the member’s length of service and salary at the time of retirement/termination age.

Liabilities in respect of the gratuity plan are determined by an actuarial valuation, based upon which the Company makes annual contributions to the Group Gratuity cum Life Assurance Schemes administered by the LIC of India, a funded defined benefit plan for qualifying employees. Trustees administer the contributions made by the Company to the gratuity scheme.

net defned beneft assets/ (obligation)	(0.86)	(8.75)

The plans expose these companies to a number of actuarial risks such as investment risk, interest rate risk,longevity risk and inflation risk. The companies have developed policy guidelines for the allocation of assets to different classes with the objective of controlling risk and maintaining the right balance between risk and long-term returns in order to limit the cost to these companies of the benefits provided. To achieve this, investments are well diversified, such that the failure of any single investment would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets.

We measure the value of TSRU grants as of the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The values determined through this fair value methodology generally are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term.

b) Valuation of stock options

The fair value of stock options granted during the period has been measured using the Black–Scholes-Merton option pricing model at the date of the grant. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected terms and risk free interest rates. The key inputs and assumptions used are as follows:

Share price: The closing price on NYSE as on the date of grant has been considered for valuing the options granted. exercise price: Exercise Price is the market price or face value or such other price as determined by the Pfizer Inc.’s Remuneration and Compensation Committee.

expected volatility: The historical volatility of the stock till the date of grant has been considered to calculate the fair value of the options.

expected option life: Expected life of option is the period for which the Company expects the options to be live. The minimum life of a stock option is the minimum period before which the options cannot be exercised and the maximum life is the period after which the options cannot be exercised.

expected dividends: Expected dividend yield has been calculated as an average of dividend yields for the four financial years preceding the date of the grant.

Risk free interest rate: The risk free interest rate on the date of grant considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal to the expected life of the options based on the zero coupon yield curve for Government Securities.

These assumptions reflect management’s best estimates, but these assumptions involve inherent market uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the Company’s control. As a result, if other assumptions had been used in the current period, stock-based compensation expense could have been materially impacted. Further, if management uses different assumptions in future periods, stock based compensation expense could be materially impacted in future years. The estimated fair value of stock options is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards. The weighted average inputs used in computing the fair value of options granted were as follows:

B. Measurement of fair values

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable and consists of following:

Level 1 - category includes financial assets and liabilities, that are measured in whole or in significant part by reference to published quotes in an active market.

Level 2 - category includes financial assets and liabilities measured using a valuation technique based on assumptions that are supported by prices from observable current market transactions. These include assets and liabilities for which pricing is obtained via pricing services, but where prices have not been determined in an active market, financial assets with fair values based on broker quotes and assets that are valued using the Company’s own valuation models whereby the material assumptions are market observable.

Level 3 - category includes financial assets and liabilities measured using valuation techniques based on non-market observable inputs. This means that fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. However, the fair value measurement objective remains the same, that is, to estimate an exit price from the perspective of the Company.

2. Financial risk management - objective and policies

(i) Financial risk management framework

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

Credit risk
Liquidity risk
Market risk
Currency risk”

The Company’s Board of Directors have overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework.

The Company’s risk management is carried out by the management in consultation with the Board of Directors. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific risk areas.

The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and adhoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

(ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and from its financing activities including deposits with banks and other financial instruments. The Company establishes an allowance for expected credit loss and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments.

a) Trade receivables

The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables amounting to ₹124.27 crore as at 31 March 2022 (31 March 2021: ₹108.77 crore).

Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in India.

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry, the country and the state in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.

Pfizer Limited

171

b) expected credit loss assessment for customers and loans

The Company allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (e.g. timeliness of payments, available press information etc.) and applying experienced credit judgement.

Exposures to customers and loans outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine incurred and expected credit losses. The company provided for expected credit loss based on lifetime expected credit loss. (simplified approach).

The movement in the allowance for credit loss in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows

	Amount
Balance as at 1 April 2020	24.84

c) Cash and bank balances

The Company held cash and bank balances of ₹1,633.33 crore as at 31 March 2022 (31 March 2021: ₹1,115.10 crore).Credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited as these are generally held or invested in deposits with banks with good credit ratings.

d) Investments

There are no significant investments made by the Company and hence credit risk is not material.

(iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash and bank balances and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company has no outstanding bank borrowings. The Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements.

(iv) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices – such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices – will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables. We are exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk. Thus, our exposure to market risk is a function of revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs.

41 COnTInGenT LIABILITIeS And COMMITMenTS (TO THe exTenT nOT PROVIded FOR)

a) Pricing litigations - Contingencies

The government had raised certain pricing related demands on Pfizer Limited and the erstwhile Parke-Davis (India) Ltd., Pharmacia Healthcare Limited and Wyeth Limited (which entities merged with Pfizer Limited), in respect of certain price fixation orders and other allied matters under various Drug (Prices Control) Orders (DPCO), viz., DPCO 1979, DPCO 1987, DPCO 1995 and DPCO 2013. These demands include alleged differential price demand on procurement of bulk drugs below the notified price, disputes on categorization of products, overcharging on the allegation of not following certain price control orders, allegation of delayed implementation of price ceiling notifications, etc. The Company had repudiated these demands and initiated legal proceedings to defend the Company against these alleged demands. Based on the legal assessment of these matters, certain provisions have already been made in the books, wherever necessary. The Company also has made certain deposits against these demands pursuant to directions from High Court(s).

Based on the legal opinion received by the Company and the assessment of the management, the Company is of the view that no further provisions are considered necessary over and above the sum of ₹20.45 crore (31 March 2021: ₹20.45 crore) and that the estimated liability in respect of these cases shall not exceed the amount provided in the books of accounts. A summary of the alleged pricing demands are given hereunder:
