NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following policies are required interim updates to those disclosed in Note 1 of the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006:

Stock-Based Compensation: Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R). This statement requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations as compensation expense (based on their fair values) over the vesting period of the awards. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method and therefore, prior periods were not restated. Under the modified prospective method, companies are required to record compensation expense for (1) the unvested portion of previously issued awards that remain outstanding at the initial date of adoption and (2) for any awards issued, modified or settled after the effective date of the statement. See Note 6 for further discussion.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles: In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were as follows:

   Total

Balance at December 31, 2005

   $2,720,302    $582,533    $533,559    $3,836,394

Additions

   57,084          57,084

Currency translation adjustments

Balance at June 30, 2006

   $2,799,868    $583,284    $533,966    $3,917,118
    
  
  
  

In April 2006, the Company increased its ownership in a joint venture in Japan with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, Limited from 70% to 80%, which resulted in additions to Goodwill of $57.1 million and Other intangibles, net of accumulated amortization of $34.1 million.

During the 2006 second quarter, the Company acquired certain licenses related to a product currently marketed by the Company. The cost of $92.6 million has been recorded within Other intangibles, net of accumulated amortization and will be amortized over the life of the license agreement.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax

return. The Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in the financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition of a previously recognized tax position, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosures. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007 with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is assessing the potential impact the adoption of this Interpretation may have on its financial position or results of operations.

sum distributions and a change in the incidence of disability, offset by a higher expected return on plan assets due to an increase in the Company’s plan assets as a result of contributions made.

For other postretirement benefit plans, the net periodic benefit cost was lower in the 2006 second quarter and first half as compared with 2005 due primarily to plan amendments related to the establishment of retiree medical contribution requirements effective January 1, 2007.

As of June 30, 2006, contributions of $21.1 million were made to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and payments of $52.0 million were made for other postretirement benefits. The Company expects to contribute approximately $170.0 million to its defined benefit pension plans and make payments of approximately $100.0 million for its other postretirement benefits in 2006.

 

Note 5. Productivity Initiatives

The Company continues with its long-term global productivity initiatives, which were launched in 2005, to adapt to the changing pharmaceutical industry environment. The guiding principles of these initiatives include innovation, cost savings, process excellence and accountability, with an emphasis on improving productivity.

In the 2006 second quarter, the Company recorded charges of $39.5 million ($27.3 million after-tax or $0.02 per share-diluted) related to the productivity initiatives. These charges included severance and other related personnel costs of $10.5 million, accelerated depreciation for certain facilities expected to be closed of $20.6 million, and period costs related to the implementation of the initiatives of $8.4 million. In the 2006 first half, the Company recorded charges of $74.6 million ($51.5 million after-tax or $0.04 per share-diluted) related to the productivity initiatives. These charges included severance and other related personnel costs of $18.9 million, accelerated depreciation for certain facilities expected to be closed of $38.1 million, and period costs related to the implementation of the initiatives of $17.6 million.

The Company recorded the charges, including personnel and other costs, in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, SFAS No. 112, Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 43 and SFAS No. 88, Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits. The activities related to the Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Healthcare businesses and the charges were recorded to recognize the costs of closing certain manufacturing facilities and the elimination of certain positions at the Company’s facilities. Charges of $26.5 million were recorded within Cost of Goods Sold, $7.9 million within Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and $5.1 million within Research and Development

At June 30, 2006, the reserve balance for personnel costs related primarily to committed employee severance obligations, which, in accordance with the specific productivity initiatives, are expected to be paid over the next 36 months.

As other strategic decisions are made, the Company expects additional costs, such as asset impairment, accelerated depreciation, personnel costs and other exit costs, as well as certain implementation costs associated with these initiatives, to continue for several years.

 

Note 6. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations as compensation expense (based on their fair values) over the vesting period of the awards.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company accounted for its stock incentive plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25). Under APB No. 25, no stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in net income, other than for the Company’s restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock awards, as options granted under all other plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

The Company has several Stock Incentive Plans, which provide for the granting of stock options, restricted stock and performance share awards. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date

the option is granted. Stock options vest ratably over a three-year period and have a contractual term of 10 years. Restricted stock awards consist of time-vested restricted stock units and are generally converted to shares of the Company’s common stock on the third anniversary of the date of the award. Performance share awards consist of performance-based restricted stock units and are converted to shares (up to 200% of the award) based on the achievement of certain earnings performance criteria related to a future performance year and/or on the achievement of certain multi-year market-based performance criteria. Under the Stock Incentive Plans, awards may be granted with respect to a maximum of 175,000,000 shares, of which up to 22,000,000 shares may be used for restricted stock issuances. At June 30, 2006, there were 28,441,190 shares available for future grants under the Stock Incentive Plans, of which up to 4,638,787 shares were available for restricted stock awards.

The Company selected the modified prospective method as prescribed under SFAS No. 123R, which requires companies (1) to record compensation expense for the unvested portion of previously issued awards that remain outstanding at the initial date of adoption and (2) to record compensation expense for any awards issued, modified or settled after the effective date of the statement. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company began expensing stock options in the 2006 first quarter. The Company’s income before income taxes and net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $76.9 million and $55.1 million ($0.04 per share-diluted) lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB No. 25. The Company’s income before income taxes and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $134.9 million and $96.5 million ($0.07 per share-diluted) lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB No. 25. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, no expense was recorded for stock options. The 2006 second quarter included stock-based compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock and performance share awards and was recorded as follows: $9.2 million in Cost of Goods Sold, $83.9 million in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and $39.5 million in Research and Development Expenses, as well as a related tax benefit of $37.8 million. The 2006 first half included stock-based compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock and performance share awards and was recorded as follows: $15.4 million in Cost of Goods Sold, $131.7 million in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and $60.7 million in Research and Development Expenses, as well as a related tax benefit of $59.3 million.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows (reflected in accrued taxes). SFAS No. 123R requires the cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits (tax deductions realized in excess of the compensation costs recognized for the options exercised) from the date of adoption of SFAS No. 123R to be classified as financing cash flows. Therefore, excess tax benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2006, have been classified as financing cash flows.

Under the modified prospective method, results for prior periods have not been restated to reflect the effects of implementing SFAS No. 123R. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share for the 2005 second quarter and first half if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, Amendment of SFAS No. 123, to stock-based employee compensation:

Based on recent accounting interpretations, pro forma stock-based compensation expense should include amounts related to the accelerated amortization of the fair value of options granted to retirement-eligible employees. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company recognized pro forma stock-based compensation expense related to retirement-eligible employees over the award’s contractual vesting period. The impact of accelerated vesting on the pro forma stock-based compensation expense would have resulted in an expense reduction of $6.0 million, net of tax for the 2006 second quarter and an additional expense of $13.7 million, net of tax for the 2005 second quarter. The impact of accelerated vesting on the pro forma stock-based compensation expense would have resulted in an expense reduction of $13.5 million and $3.4 million, both net of tax for the 2006 and 2005 first half.

The Company recorded the impact of accelerated vesting for options granted to retirement-eligible employees subsequent to January 1, 2006 and will continue to provide pro forma disclosure related to those options granted in prior periods.

The fair value of issued stock options is estimated on the date of grant utilizing a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that incorporates the assumptions noted in the table below.

 

14


Table of Contents

WYETH

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock, historical volatility of the Company’s stock price and other factors. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company changed its method for determining expected volatility. For all new options granted after January 1, 2006, blended volatility rates, which incorporate both implied and historical volatility rates are utilized, rather than relying solely on historical volatility rates. Based on available guidance, we believe blended volatility rates that combine market-based measures of implied volatility with historical volatility rates are a more appropriate indicator of the Company’s expected volatility. The expected life of stock options is estimated based on historical data on exercises of stock options, post vesting forfeitures and other factors to estimate the expected term of the stock options granted. For options granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, the Company has adjusted the assumption for the expected life of stock options from five years to six years as a result of continued assessment of historical experiences. The effect of the changes in these assumptions on income before income taxes, net income and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was not material. The expected dividend yields are based on the approved annualized dividend rate in effect on the date of grant. The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant for instruments with a remaining term similar to the expected life of the options. In addition, the Company applies an expected forfeiture rate when amortizing stock-based compensation expenses. The estimate of the forfeiture rate is based primarily upon historical experience of employee turnover. As individual grant awards become fully vested, stock-based compensation expense is adjusted to recognize actual forfeitures.

The weighted-average fair value of the options granted in the 2006 first half was $12.92 per option as determined using the following assumptions:

 

Range of expected volatility

   24.1% - 25.5%

Weighted-average expected volatility

   24.3%

Expected life of options

   6 years

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability, patent, commercial, environmental and antitrust matters, of a nature considered normal to its business, the most important of which are described below and/or have been described in the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and Current Reports on Form 8-K in 2006. It is the Company’s policy to accrue for amounts related to these legal matters if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable. Additionally, the Company records insurance receivable amounts from third-party insurers when recovery is probable.

In the opinion of the Company, although the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the ultimate liability of the Company in connection with its legal proceedings (other than the diet drug litigation discussed immediately below and in the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006) is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position but could be material to the results of operations or cash flows in one or more reporting periods.

Product Liability Litigation

Diet Drug Litigation

Overview

The Company has been named as a defendant in numerous legal actions relating to the diet drugs PONDIMIN (which in combination with phentermine, a product that was not manufactured, distributed or sold by the Company, was commonly referred to as “fen-phen”) or REDUX, which the Company estimated were used in the United States, prior to their 1997 voluntary market withdrawal, by approximately 5.8 million people. These actions allege, among other things, that the use of REDUX and/or PONDIMIN, independently or in combination with phentermine, caused certain serious conditions, including valvular heart disease and primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). The REDUX and PONDIMIN litigation is described in additional detail in the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

On October 7, 1999, the Company announced a nationwide class action settlement (the settlement) to resolve litigation brought against the Company regarding the use of the diet drugs REDUX or PONDIMIN. The settlement covered all claims arising out of the use of REDUX or PONDIMIN, except for PPH claims, and was open to all REDUX or

PONDIMIN users in the United States. As originally designed, the settlement was administered by an independent Settlement Trust and comprised of two settlement funds. Fund A (with a value at the time of settlement of $1,000.0 million plus $200.0 million for legal fees) was created to cover refunds, medical screening costs, additional medical services and cash payments, education and research costs, and administration costs. Fund A has been fully funded by contributions by the Company. Fund B (which was to be funded by the Company on an as-needed basis up to a total of $2,550.0 million) would compensate claimants with significant heart valve disease depending upon their age and the severity of their condition according to a five-level settlement matrix. The two funds have now been combined into a single fund.

The Seventh Amendment to the settlement agreement, which created a new claims processing structure, funding arrangement and payment schedule for claims for compensation based on Levels I and II of the five-level settlement matrix, became effective on May 16, 2006. As a result, only the claims of those class members who opted out of the Seventh Amendment will be processed under the terms of the original settlement agreement. Less than 5% of the eligible class members affected by the Seventh Amendment elected to opt out of the Seventh Amendment and to remain bound by the current settlement terms.

Total diet drug litigation payments were $813.4 million and $1,278.5 million for the 2006 second quarter and first half, respectively, of which $478.8 million and $561.8 million for the 2006 second quarter and first half, respectively, were made in connection with the nationwide settlement (including the Seventh Amendment). Payments under the national settlement may continue, if necessary, until 2018. The 2006 second quarter payments of $478.8 million included a $400.0 million payment that was made towards the Seventh Amendment and was paid from the Seventh Amendment security fund. As of June 30, 2006, $595.0 million of the Seventh Amendment security fund was included in Other current assets including deferred taxes and $255.0 million was included in Other assets including deferred taxes. The amounts in the security fund are owned by the Company and will earn interest income for the Company while residing in the security fund.

In 2004, the Company increased its reserves in connection with the REDUX and PONDIMIN diet drug matters by $4,500.0 million, bringing the total of the charges taken to date to $21,100.0 million. The $4,434.0 million reserve balance at June 30, 2006 represents management’s best estimate, within a range of outcomes, of the aggregate amount required to cover diet drug litigation costs, including payments in connection with the nationwide settlement (as amended by the Seventh Amendment), initial opt outs, PPH claims, downstream opt out cases and the Company’s legal fees related to the diet drug litigation. The current reserve takes into account, inter alia, the Company’s settlements with plaintiffs’ attorneys representing a number of individuals who have opted out of the nationwide settlement, the results of downstream opt out cases that have been litigated to date and its projected expenses in connection with the diet drug litigation. However, due to the number and amount of any future verdicts that may be returned in the diet drug litigation, and the inherent uncertainty surrounding any

litigation, it is possible that additional reserves may be required in the future and the amount of such additional reserves may be significant.

The Company intends to vigorously defend itself and believes it can marshal significant resources and legal defenses to limit its ultimate liability in the diet drug litigation. However, in light of the circumstances discussed above, it is not possible to predict the ultimate liability of the Company in connection with its diet drug legal proceedings. It is therefore not possible to predict whether, and if so when, such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows and whether cash flows from operating activities and existing and prospective financing resources will be adequate to fund the Company’s operations, pay all liabilities related to the diet drug litigation, pay dividends, maintain the ongoing programs of capital expenditures, and repay both the principal and interest on its outstanding obligations without the disposition of significant strategic core assets and/or reductions in certain cash outflows.

Challenges to the Nationwide Settlement

Counsel representing approximately 8,600 class members had filed a motion with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania seeking a ruling that the nationwide settlement agreement is void due to inadequate representation of the class, mutual mistake, inadequate notice to the class and lack of subject matter jurisdiction as to some class members. The motion was denied by the District Court on March 8, 2006. Although certain of the class members affected by the denial noticed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, that appeal has been stayed pending the finalization of a settlement in principle with counsel for those class members.

Certain other class members had also filed a number of other motions and lawsuits attacking the binding effect of the settlement, which were denied or enjoined by the District Court; the District Court’s orders were subsequently affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. A petition for certiorari was filed with the United States Supreme Court on February 28, 2006, seeking review of the Third Circuit’s decision. The petition was later conditionally dismissed pending the finalization of a settlement in principle with counsel for those class members.

Downstream Opt Out Cases

Approximately 63,000 individuals who had filed Intermediate or Back-End opt out forms subsequently filed lawsuits against the Company. As a result of settlement discussions to date, as of June 30, 2006, the Company had reached agreements, or agreements in principle, to settle the claims of over 95% of the Intermediate and Back End opt out claimants who filed lawsuits against the Company. As of June 30, 2006, approximately 27,000 of these claimants had received settlement payments following the dismissal of their cases.

PPH Cases

As of July 24, 2006, the Company was a defendant in approximately 103 pending lawsuits (excluding those lawsuits that have been settled in principle in connection with the downstream opt out settlement process described above) in which the plaintiff alleges a claim of PPH, alone or with other alleged injuries. In approximately two additional lawsuits pleaded as valvular regurgitation cases, plaintiffs’ attorneys have now advised the Company that the plaintiffs will allege a claim of PPH. Almost all of these claimants must meet the definition of PPH set forth in the national settlement agreement in order to pursue their claims outside of the national settlement (payment of such claims, by settlement or judgment, would be made by the Company and not by the Trust). Approximately 45 of these cases appear to be eligible to pursue a PPH lawsuit under the terms of the national settlement. In approximately 18 of these cases, the Company has filed or expects to file motions under the terms of the national settlement to preclude plaintiffs from proceeding with their PPH claims. For the balance of these cases, the Company currently has insufficient medical information to assess whether or not the plaintiffs meet the definition of PPH under the national settlement. The Company is aware of approximately four additional claims, which are not currently the subject of a lawsuit but which appear to meet the settlement’s PPH definition. During the course of settlement discussions, certain plaintiffs’ attorneys have informed the Company that they represent additional individuals who claim to have PPH, but the Company is unable to evaluate whether any such additional purported cases of PPH would meet the national settlement agreement’s definition of PPH. The Company continues to work toward resolving the claims of individuals who allege that they have developed PPH as a result of their use of the diet drugs and intends to vigorously defend those PPH cases that cannot be resolved prior to trial.

HT Litigation

As of July 24, 2006, the Company is defending approximately 5,000 actions brought on behalf of approximately 8,300 women in various state and federal courts throughout the United States (including in particular the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas and the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County) for personal injuries, including claims for breast cancer, stroke, ovarian cancer and heart disease allegedly resulting from their use of PREMARIN or PREMPRO. The first of these personal injury cases is likely to proceed to trial in August 2006.

Patent Litigation

PROTONIX Litigation

As discussed in the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has received notifications from multiple generic companies that they have filed Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDA) seeking FDA approval to market generic pantoprazole sodium 20 mg and 40 mg delayed release tablets. Pantoprazole sodium is the active ingredient used in PROTONIX. On July 17, 2006, the Company received notification from KUDCO Ireland, Ltd. (Kudco), that Kudco has filed an ANDA seeking FDA approval to market generic pantoprazole

sodium 20 mg and 40 mg delayed release tablets. The allegations in Kudco’s notification concern both the pantoprazole compound and tablet formulation patents discussed in the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company is analyzing the allegations made in Kudco’s notification.

EFFEXOR Litigation

On July 26, 2006, Alza Corporation filed suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against the Company and one of its subsidiaries alleging infringement of United States Patent No. 6,440,457 B1. Alza alleges that the manufacture, use, and sale of EFFEXOR XR by the Company in the United States willfully infringes the Alza patent. The Company believes that this patent is not relevant to EFFEXOR XR and is also invalid. The Company will vigorously defend this lawsuit.

ALTACE Litigation

As discussed in the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Aventis Pharma Deutschland and King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King) filed a patent infringement suit against Lupin Ltd. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively, Lupin), in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, alleging that Lupin infringes the composition of matter patent for ramipril, which expires in October 2008, by filing an ANDA with the FDA seeking approval to also market generic 1.25 mg, 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg ramipril capsules. The plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief against infringement of this patent. The Company co-promotes ALTACE (ramipril) together with King. Lupin alleged that the ramipril patent is invalid and/or unenforceable. Trial began on June 6, 2006. Just prior to trial, the Court granted King’s motion for summary judgment of infringement under the doctrine of equivalents. At trial, the Court granted King’s motion for judgment as a matter of law concerning Lupin’s unenforceability defense. On July 17, 2006, following the conclusion of trial and post-trial briefing, the Court issued its opinion on the remaining issues in the case, finding for King and against Lupin, in holding that Lupin had failed to meet its burden of proof in arguing the patent was invalid. The Court’s decision is subject to potential appeal.

Commercial Litigation

Contract Litigation

ALTACE. With respect to the suit initiated by the Company against King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York and the Notice of Default from King described in the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company and King entered into an Amended and Restated Co-promotion Agreement on July 5, 2006. The amended agreement amends and restates the Co-promotion Agreement dated June 22, 2000 and also forever releases and discharges all disputes between the parties prior to the execution of the amended agreement. The

amended agreement also obligated the Company and King to dismiss with prejudice the pending litigation between the parties. The order granting the dismissal was issued by the District Court on July 7, 2006.

Antitrust Matters

Miscellaneous. The Company has been named as a defendant, along with other pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, two individuals from wholesaler defendant McKesson, and a wholesaler trade association, in a civil action filed in federal district court in New York by RxUSA Wholesale, Inc. RxUSA Wholesale, Inc. v. Alcon Labs., et al., No. CV-06-3447, U.S.D.C., E.D.N.Y. Plaintiff RxUSA Wholesale alleges, in relevant part, that the pharmaceutical manufacturer defendants individually refused to supply plaintiff with their respective pharmaceutical products and also engaged in a group boycott of plaintiff in violation of federal antitrust laws and New York state law. The complaint seeks treble damages, declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as attorney’s fees.

Regulatory Proceedings

Consent Decree

As discussed in the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s Wyeth Pharmaceuticals division, a related subsidiary, and an executive officer of the Company are subject to a consent decree entered into with the FDA in October 2000 following the seizure in June 2000 from the Company’s distribution centers in Tennessee and Puerto Rico of a small quantity of certain of the Company’s products then manufactured at the Company’s Marietta, Pennsylvania facility. The seizures were based on FDA allegations that certain of the Company’s biological products were not manufactured in accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practices at the Company’s Marietta and Pearl River, New York facilities. The consent decree, which has been approved by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, does not represent an admission by the Company or the executive officer of any violation of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or its regulations. As of September 1, 2005, the Company had ceased manufacturing operations at its Marietta facility, decommissioned such facility, and sold such facility to another company. The consent decree does not prohibit the continued manufacture of any products that the Company intends to manufacture at its Pearl River facility. However, with respect to approved biological products, the consent decree does require the review by independent consultants of a statistical sample of the manufacturing records for approved biological products prior to distribution of individual lots. In addition, as provided in the consent decree, an expert consultant has conducted a comprehensive inspection of the Marietta and Pearl River facilities and the Company has identified various actions to address the consultant’s observations. The Company has completed these actions as to both facilities and has obtained certification of such completion by the expert consultant. The compliance status of ongoing operations at the Pearl River facility is subject to review by the FDA under the consent decree and the Company expects the FDA to conduct an inspection of the facility in the near future.

The following commentary should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and notes to consolidated condensed financial statements on pages 3 to 24 of this report. When reviewing the commentary below, you should keep in mind the substantial risks and uncertainties that characterize our business. In particular, we encourage you to review the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A. RISK FACTORS in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements contained in this report or implied by past results and trends. Forward-looking statements are statements that attempt to forecast or anticipate future developments in our business; we encourage you to review the examples of our forward-looking statements under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on pages 46 to 48 of this report. These statements, like all statements in this report, speak only as of their date (unless another date is indicated), and we undertake no obligation to update or revise these statements in light of future developments.

Overview

Our Business

Wyeth is one of the world’s largest research-based pharmaceutical and health care products companies and is a leader in the discovery, development, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology products, vaccines, non-prescription medicines and animal health products.

We also have a reportable Corporate segment primarily responsible for the treasury, tax and legal operations of our businesses. The Corporate segment maintains and/or incurs certain assets, liabilities, income, expense, gains and losses related to our overall management that are not allocated to the other reportable segments.

2006 First Half Financial Highlights

 

  o   Worldwide net revenue increased 8% over the 2005 first half to $9,994.7 million;
  o   Pharmaceuticals net revenue increased 10% over the 2005 first half, reflecting the strong performance of PREVNAR, ENBREL, EFFEXOR, Nutrition and rhBMP-2 as well as higher sales of PROTONIX and the PREMARIN family of products;
  o   Consumer Healthcare net revenue results reflect the absence of SOLGAR products, which were divested in the 2005 third quarter and lower sales of ROBITUSSIN, DIMETAPP and ADVIL COLD & SINUS products, which were impacted by retailer actions and state and federal legislation related to pseudoephedrine-containing products. The 2006 first half results also included higher sales of ADVIL and CENTRUM; and
  o   Animal Health net revenue increased 6% over the 2005 first half, reflecting higher sales of companion animal and livestock products, partially offset by lower sales of equine products.

  o   EFFEXOR is our novel antidepressant for treating adult patients with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder and panic disorder. EFFEXOR remains our largest franchise and the world’s top antidepressant both in terms of dollar sales and unit volume.
  o   PREVNAR is our vaccine for preventing invasive pneumococcal disease in infants and children. It is the first and only vaccine product ever to achieve $1,000.0 million in annual net revenue. Revenue growth for PREVNAR in the 2006 second quarter was largely driven by activities associated with its introduction in the National Immunization Program in the U.K. The addition of PREVNAR to the national immunization schedules in Greece, Norway, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands was also recently announced. PREVNAR is the world’s best selling vaccine and is now available in 69 countries worldwide.
  o   PROTONIX is our proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for gastroesophageal reflux disease. The PPI category is highly competitive, and we have continued to focus on our strategy of higher value prescriptions within the third-party managed care segment. PROTONIX continues to have the highest preferred access with health maintenance organizations (HMOs) among the branded PPIs and is the leader among branded PPIs on Medicare drug plan formularies.
  o   ENBREL is our treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and other conditions. We have exclusive rights to ENBREL outside of the U.S. and Canada and we co-promote ENBREL with Amgen in the U.S. and Canada. ENBREL maintained its leading U.S. market position in rheumatology and dermatology. In the 2006 first quarter, programs were implemented to assist seniors in the enrollment for Medicare Part D plans. Additional initiatives were launched in the 2006 second quarter to assist patients with out-of-pocket co-pay costs. These additional initiatives are designed to assist both Medicare and non-Medicare ENBREL patients. During 2005, we launched ENBREL in Japan for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis through our joint venture with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Takeda).
  o   Alliance revenue includes our share of profits from sales of ENBREL in the U.S. and Canada, where we co-promote the product with Amgen; our share of profits from sales of ALTACE, which is co-promoted with King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King); and certain revenue earned related to sirolimus, the active ingredient in RAPAMUNE, which coats the CYPHER coronary stent marketed by Johnson & Johnson. In July 2006, King and Wyeth announced that the companies had entered into an Amended and Restated Co-Promotion Agreement regarding ALTACE. Effective January 1, 2007, King will assume full responsibility for the selling and marketing of ALTACE. For the remainder of 2006, the Wyeth sales force will continue to promote the product with King. Wyeth will receive a fee thereafter through 2010 generally based on a percentage of ALTACE net sales and subject to annual payment limits.
  o   Nutrition includes our infant formula and toddler products NURSOY, PROGRESS, PROMIL and

S-26.

  o   Our PREMARIN family of products remains the standard therapy to help women address serious menopausal symptoms.
  o   ZOSYN (TAZOCIN internationally), our broad-spectrum I.V. antibiotic, is the only currently marketed I.V. antibiotic proven to help minimize the emergence of bacterial resistance. We launched our new, advanced formulation of ZOSYN/TAZOCIN in the U.S. in the first quarter. Launches in other major markets are expected during 2006. While demand for ZOSYN remains strong, results in the 2006 first half were limited by our recovery from manufacturing supply limitations, particularly with one packaging presentation, that began in the 2005 fourth quarter. We are working to improve supply of the other packaging formats and continue to anticipate stronger growth for the ZOSYN franchise in the second half of the year.

For a full description of our principal products, the preceding summary should be read in conjunction with our principal product summary in the overview section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2005 Financial Report as incorporated in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Our Product Pipeline

In April 2006, we received marketing approval in the European Union for TYGACIL, our innovative broad-spectrum I.V. antibiotic for serious, hospital-based infections, which we launched in the U.S. in July 2005.

Our 2005 New Drug Application (NDA) filings with the FDA for DVS-233 (desvenlafaxine succinate), a serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), for the treatment of major depressive disorder, and LYBREL (levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol), a new oral contraceptive with a unique continuous dosing regimen, remain under regulatory review. With respect to DVS-233 for the treatment of major depressive disorder, we expect the FDA to hold an advisory committee meeting in September 2006. In addition, in order to further define the profile of DVS-233, we are conducting additional clinical trials in depression, including studies at lower dosage levels, and we plan to evaluate the results of these studies in early 2007. We plan to launch DVS-233 for major depressive disorder in 2007, with those lower dose data available, subject to the FDA’s approval of our NDA and a satisfactory pre-approval inspection at our Guayama, Puerto Rico manufacturing site.

In June 2006, we received an approvable letter for LYBREL from the FDA, and in response to the approvable letter, we plan to submit additional stability data regarding the LYBREL manufacturing method and additional analyses of submitted clinical data. The FDA also indicated that it plans to convene a public meeting of contraceptive experts this year to discuss the clinical aspects of LYBREL. The anticipated topics include a review of the U.S. Pearl Index, which is a calculation of the pregnancy rates among study participants, bleeding patterns, and the discontinuation rate among women in the study.

We expect to launch LYBREL in 2007, subject to satisfactory resolution of items outlined in the approvable letter and a satisfactory pre-approval inspection at our Guayama, Puerto Rico manufacturing site.

During the 2006 second quarter, we filed NDAs for bazedoxifene for osteoporosis and DVS-233 for vasomotor symptoms. We anticipate three additional NDA filings for new products in the next nine months: bifeprunox for schizophrenia (in concert with our partner Solvay Pharmaceuticals); TORISEL (temsirolimus) for renal cell carcinoma; and methylnaltrexone (subcutaneous formulation) for the treatment of opioid-induced side effects in patients with advanced illness (in concert with our partner Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Progenics)).

In July 2006, we also received Fast Track status from the FDA for the intravenous form of methylnaltrexone being investigated for the treatment of postoperative ileus, a serious impairment of gastrointestinal function that delays recovery and can prolong hospitalization. The FDA Fast Track designation facilitates development and expedites regulatory review of drugs that the FDA recognizes to potentially address an unmet medical need for serious or life-threatening conditions. An NDA submission is planned for the intravenous form of methylnaltrexone in late 2007 or early 2008.

Completing these major NDA filings and preparing for these new product launches over this relatively short time frame is one of the most ambitious product introduction objectives in our history and will present significant operational challenges.

We continue to actively pursue in-licensing opportunities and strategic collaborations to supplement our internal research and development efforts, such as the collaborations we entered into in 2005 with Progenics and with Trubion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. We face heavy competition from our peers in securing these relationships but believe that the excellence of our research and development and commercial organizations and the breadth of our expertise across traditional pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals and vaccines position us well. We intend to continue to aggressively pursue these kinds of opportunities in the second half of 2006.

Our Diet Drug Litigation

We continue to address the challenges of our diet drug litigation. As discussed in Note 7 to our consolidated condensed financial statements contained in this report, the Seventh Amendment to the Nationwide Settlement (the Settlement) became effective on May 16, 2006. The Seventh Amendment creates a new claims processing structure, funding arrangement and payment schedule for the least serious but most numerous claims in the Settlement. The amendment ensures that these claims are processed on a streamlined basis while preserving funds in the existing Settlement trust for more serious claims.

In January 2005, we announced that we were in discussions with plaintiffs’ attorneys representing a number of individuals who opted out of the National Diet Drug Settlement regarding a proposed process for settling downstream opt out cases (as well as the

primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) and initial opt out cases handled by plaintiffs’ counsel participating in the process). As a result of the discussions to date, as of June 30, 2006, we had reached agreements, or agreements in principle, to settle the claims of over 95% of the approximately 63,000 Intermediate and Back End opt out claimants who have filed lawsuits against us. As of June 30, 2006, approximately 27,000 of these claimants had received settlement payments following the dismissal of their cases. We will continue to vigorously defend those cases that are not settled.

Change in Accounting for Share-Based Payments

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (Statement 123R), which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations as compensation expense (based on their fair values) over the vesting period of the awards. The 2006 second quarter and first half results included stock option expense, which reduced diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.04 and $0.07, respectively. The 2005 second quarter and first half results, which have not been restated to include the impact of expensing stock options, would have been lower by approximately $0.04 and $0.09 per share, respectively, had we expensed stock options. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further discussion related to stock-based compensation. The impact of expensing stock options for 2006 is projected to be approximately $0.12 to $0.15 per share-diluted. The actual amount of compensation expense to be recorded is highly dependent on the number of options granted and fluctuations in our stock price.

Our Challenging Business Environment

Generally, we face the same difficult challenges that all research-based pharmaceutical companies are confronting. Pressure from government agencies, insurers, employers and consumers to lower prices through leveraged purchasing plans, use of formularies, importation, reduced reimbursement for prescription drugs and other means poses significant challenges for us. Generic products, which Wyeth no longer markets, are growing as a percentage of total prescriptions. Insurers and employers are increasingly demanding that patients start with a generic product before switching to a branded product if necessary, and our products increasingly compete with generic products. Regulatory burdens and safety concerns are increasing both the cost and time it takes to bring new drugs to market. Post-marketing regulatory and media scrutiny of product safety also are increasing.

On May 9, 2006, we received a Warning Letter from the FDA that raised several specific concerns about manufacturing at our Guayama, Puerto Rico facility. We submitted a timely response to FDA, and we intend to work cooperatively with the agency to address the issues raised in the Warning Letter as quickly and effectively as possible. There are no patient safety concerns associated with the issues raised in the Warning Letter. In response to the Warning Letter, we have taken a number of steps to reinforce compliance at the Guayama site, including expanding the senior leadership presence in Puerto Rico and engaging an independent expert consultant to supplement our oversight of good

manufacturing practices. While it is too early to predict with any assurance how long it will take to resolve these issues, we believe that we are moving in the right direction and it is our goal to resolve these issues by the end of 2006, subject to the FDA’s satisfaction with our corrective actions.

Additionally, we are faced with the moderating rate of growth of some of our major products, principally EFFEXOR. The FDA has requested that all antidepressant manufacturers re-examine data regarding suicidality from clinical trials in adults using the same approach developed for evaluating pediatric data in 2004. The Company has responded to the FDA’s request. The FDA has announced that it will hold an advisory committee meeting on this topic.

In 2004, the United Kingdom Committee on the Safety of Medicines (CSM) completed a review of the safety and efficacy of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class of antidepressants as well as our EFFEXOR family of products, which are SNRIs. As a result of this review, the United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) implemented new class labeling for these antidepressants, including our EFFEXOR family of products, and imposed additional restrictions on the use of our EFFEXOR products in the United Kingdom because it concluded that these products carried additional risks. After a subsequent review, in the 2006 second quarter, we received new labeling, which removed a number of the product-specific labeling restrictions implemented in 2004 and which we believe more appropriately represents the product’s risk/benefit profile.

Late in 2005, we reached agreement with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Teva) on a settlement of the U.S. patent litigation pertaining to Teva’s generic version of our EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) antidepressant. This agreement permits Teva to launch generic versions of EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) and EFFEXOR (immediate release tablets) in the U.S. pursuant to certain licenses effective beginning on July 1, 2010 and June 15, 2006, respectively, subject to earlier launch based on specified events. Teva also will be permitted to launch a generic version of EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) in Canada pursuant to a license effective beginning on December 1, 2006, subject to earlier launch based on specified events. In connection with these licenses, Teva will pay us specified percentages of gross profit from sales of each of the Teva generic versions. We expect Teva’s launch of generic versions of EFFEXOR (immediate release tablets) in the U.S. and EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) in Canada to decrease our sales of these products significantly in the relevant market. It is also possible that Teva’s introduction of a generic version of EFFEXOR (immediate release tablets) in the U.S. could adversely impact our U.S. sales of EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules), although we anticipate that any impact will be modest given the significant differences in product profiles.

Our Productivity Initiatives

We are continuing with our long-term global productivity initiatives, collectively called “Project Springboard,” which were launched in 2005 to adapt to the changing pharmaceutical industry environment. The guiding principles of these initiatives include innovation, cost savings, process excellence and accountability, with an emphasis on improving productivity. We are reviewing our production network to achieve optimal efficiencies and to reduce production costs for our global core products. As a result of these and other related initiatives, we recorded pre-tax charges of $39.5 million and $74.6 million in the 2006 second quarter and first half, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, total net pre-tax charges of $265.2 million have been recorded in connection with the productivity initiatives since their inception. Additional costs associated with these initiatives are expected to continue for several years as further strategic decisions are made; costs are projected to total approximately $750.0 million to $1,000.0 million, on a pre-tax basis. Throughout 2006 and in future years, we will continue with our long-term productivity initiatives with the objective of making Wyeth more efficient and more effective so that we may continue to thrive in this increasingly challenging industry environment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s critical accounting policies are detailed in the Company’s Financial Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. With the exception of the Company’s accounting for stock-based compensation in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, there were no changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies from the year ended December 31, 2005.

SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations as compensation expense (based on their fair values) over the vesting period of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of share-based awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates certain assumptions, such as the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield and expected life of the options. Determining these assumptions are subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates. Prior to adopting SFAS No. 123R, the Company applied APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretations, in accounting for its stock incentive plans. Under APB No. 25, no stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in net income, other than for the Company’s restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock awards, as options granted under all other plans had an exercise price equal to the market price value of the underlying common stock at the date of the grant.

Net Revenue

Worldwide net revenue increased 9% for the 2006 second quarter and 8% for the 2006 first half compared with prior year levels and was due to increases in the Pharmaceuticals and Animal Health segments. The 2006 first half results were partially offset by a decrease in worldwide Consumer Healthcare net revenue. There was no net foreign exchange impact on worldwide net revenue for the 2006 second quarter or first half.

Pharmaceuticals

Worldwide Pharmaceuticals net revenue increased 11% for the 2006 second quarter and 10% for the 2006 first half due primarily to higher sales of PREVNAR, ENBREL (internationally), EFFEXOR, Nutritionals and rhBMP-2 offset, in part, by lower sales of ZOTON which is currently experiencing generic competition in the United Kingdom and other European countries and will experience generic competition in the near future in other countries as patent protection expires in those countries. The increase in PREVNAR net revenue reflected higher sales volume due primarily to the introduction of PREVNAR into the National Immunization Program in the U.K. Increases in Pharmaceuticals net revenue were also attributed to higher sales of PROTONIX in the 2006 first half, despite a slight decline in total prescription volume. This reflects the continued focus of the PROTONIX business towards the higher margin managed care segment. Additionally, alliance revenue increased 27% to $357.4 million for the 2006 second quarter and increased 28% to $611.5 million for the 2006 first half primarily as a result of higher sales of ENBREL in North America and higher sales of ALTACE. There was no net foreign exchange impact on Pharmaceuticals net revenue for the 2006 second quarter or first half.

Consumer Healthcare

Worldwide Consumer Healthcare net revenue was flat for the 2006 second quarter and decreased 5% for the 2006 first half. The 2006 second quarter results were attributable to the absence of 2006 sales of SOLGAR products, which were divested in the 2005 third quarter, and an increase in sales of ADVIL. The decrease in the 2006 first half was due primarily to the absence of 2006 sales of SOLGAR products, as well as lower sales of ROBITUSSIN, DIMETAPP and ADVIL COLD & SINUS due to the impact of retailer actions and state and federal legislation related to pseudoephedrine (PSE)-containing products, offset, in part, by an increase in sales of ADVIL and CENTRUM. These results included a provision of $31.5 million recorded in the 2006 first quarter for anticipated returns in connection with the PSE-containing products. During the 2006 second quarter this provision was reduced by $10.0 million based upon an analysis of actual returns in the quarter. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange, worldwide Consumer Healthcare net revenue decreased 1% for the 2006 second quarter. There was no net foreign exchange impact on Consumer Healthcare net revenue for the 2006 first half.

Animal Health

Worldwide Animal Health net revenue increased 11% for the 2006 second quarter and 6% for the 2006 first half due primarily to higher sales of companion animal and livestock products, partially offset by lower sales of equine products. There was no net foreign exchange impact on Animal Health net revenue for the 2006 second quarter or first half.

Sales Deductions

We deduct certain items from gross revenue, which primarily consist of provisions for product returns, cash discounts, chargebacks/rebates, customer allowances and consumer sales incentives. The provision for chargebacks/rebates relates primarily to U.S. sales of pharmaceutical products provided to wholesalers and managed care organizations under contractual agreements or to certain governmental agencies that administer benefit programs, such as Medicaid. While different programs and methods are utilized to determine the chargeback or rebate provided to the customer, we consider both to be a form of price reduction. Chargebacks/rebates are the only deductions from gross revenue that

we consider significant and approximated $504.4 million for the 2006 second quarter and $1,058.1 million for the 2006 first half compared with $603.0 million for the 2005 second quarter and $1,215.7 million for the 2005 first half.

Except for chargebacks/rebates, provisions for each of the other components of sales deductions, including product returns, are individually less than 2% of gross sales. The provisions charged against gross sales for product returns were $35.5 million and $100.7 million for the 2006 second quarter and first half, respectively, compared with $43.4 million and $100.3 million for the 2005 second quarter and first half.

Operating Expenses

Stock-based compensation expense for the 2006 second quarter and first half has been recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2006. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations as compensation expense (based on their fair values) over the vesting period of the awards. The 2006 second quarter and first half included stock-based compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock and performance share awards. The 2005 second quarter and first half included stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock and performance share awards only. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, no expense was recorded for stock options. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, stock-based compensation expense was recorded as follows:

Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of Net revenue, decreased to 26.6% for the 2006 second quarter compared with 28.4% for the 2005 second quarter and decreased to 27.1% for the 2006 first half compared with 28.9% for the 2005 first half. For the 2006 second quarter, the decrease was due primarily to lower inventory adjustments and the impact of favorable manufacturing variances in the Pharmaceuticals segment offset, in part, by charges associated with the Company’s productivity initiatives. For the 2006 first half, the decrease was due to lower inventory adjustments, lower cost of goods sold associated

with ENBREL validation batches and Grange Castle pre-operating costs (which occurred in 2005) and lower royalty costs attributable to the decline in sales of ZOTON in the U.K. offset, in part, by charges associated with the Company’s productivity initiatives. The increase in gross margin was also due to higher alliance revenue, and a more favorable product mix in both the Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Healthcare segments due to higher sales of higher margin PREVNAR and EFFEXOR and the absence of 2006 first half sales of lower margin SOLGAR products, which were divested in the 2005 third quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of Net revenue, decreased 0.4% for the 2006 second quarter and decreased 0.9% for the 2006 first half as compared with 2005. The decreases were due primarily to lower selling expenses in the Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Healthcare segments, lower general expenses resulting from the sale of the SOLGAR business during the 2005 third quarter and lower insurance costs. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of expensing stock options, pre-and post-launch marketing costs for TYGACIL and pre-launch marketing costs for LYBREL.

Research and development expenses increased 20% for the 2006 second quarter and increased 16% for the 2006 first half as compared with 2005. The increases were primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, including the impact of expensing stock options, and higher cost-sharing expenditures related to pharmaceutical collaborations.

Interest Expense and Other Income

Interest expense, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 consisted of the following:

Interest expense, net decreased 85% for the 2006 second quarter and 83% for the 2006 first half due primarily to higher interest income and higher capitalized interest offset by higher interest expense. Weighted average debt outstanding during the 2006 second quarter and first half was $9,132.5 million and $9,169.0 million, respectively, compared with prior year levels of $7,799.1 million and $7,860.7 million, respectively. The impact of higher weighted average debt outstanding on interest expense was offset, in part, by

increased interest income earned on higher cash balances in 2006 versus 2005. The higher capitalized interest resulted from increased spending for long-term capital projects in process.

Other income, net increased by approximately $13.4 million for the 2006 second quarter primarily due to higher net gains resulting from product divestitures. The $106.6 million decrease for the 2006 first half was due primarily to lower net gains from product divestitures. Pre-tax gains from the divestiture of certain Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Healthcare products were approximately $16.7 million and $34.3 million for the 2006 second quarter and first half, respectively, compared with prior year levels of $4.5 million and $143.0 million, respectively. The 2006 divestitures included product rights to MINOCIN in the United States. The 2005 divestitures included product rights to SYNVISC and EPOCLER (in Brazil). The sales, profits and net assets of these divested products, individually or in the aggregate, were not material to either business segment or our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, no expense was recorded for stock options. For the 2005 second quarter, stock-based compensation was recorded within the reportable segments as follows: Pharmaceuticals – $21.4, Consumer Healthcare – $1.9, Animal Health – $0.8 and Corporate – $9.2. For the 2005 first half, stock-based compensation was recorded within the reportable segments as follows: Pharmaceuticals – $21.4, Consumer Healthcare – $1.9, Animal Health – $0.8 and Corporate – $15.9.

 

  (2) Corporate included a net charge of $39.5 and $74.6 for the 2006 second quarter and first half related to the Company’s productivity initiatives. For the 2006 second quarter, the activities related to the reportable segments as follows: Pharmaceuticals – $32.2 and Consumer Healthcare – $7.3. For the 2006 first half, the activities related to the reportable segments as follows: Pharmaceuticals – $67.3 and Consumer Healthcare – $7.3. Excluding these charges, Corporate expenses increased approximately 1% for the 2006 second quarter and decreased 21% for the 2006 first half.

 

  (3) Income before income taxes for the 2006 second quarter and first half included gains from product divestitures of approximately $16.2 and $33.0, respectively, in the Pharmaceuticals segment primarily from the divestiture of product rights to MINOCIN in the U.S. Income before income taxes for the 2005 second quarter and first half included gains from product divestitures of $4.7 and $127.4, respectively, in the Pharmaceuticals segment primarily from the divestiture of products rights to SYNVISC. In addition, income before taxes for the 2005 first half included gains from product divestitures of $15.7 in the Consumer Healthcare segment primarily from the divestiture of EPOCLER in Brazil.

Worldwide Pharmaceuticals income before income taxes for the 2006 second quarter and first half increased 17% and 15%, respectively, due primarily to higher net revenue, higher gross margins earned on worldwide sales of Pharmaceuticals products, and lower selling and general expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, offset by higher research and development expenses.

Worldwide Consumer Healthcare income before income taxes increased 24% for the 2006 second quarter due primarily to higher gross profit margins earned on worldwide sales of Consumer Healthcare products, lower selling and general expense, as a percentage of net revenue and higher other income net, offset, in part, by higher research and development expenses. Worldwide Consumer Healthcare income before income taxes decreased 17% for the 2006 first half due primarily to lower net revenue, higher selling and general expense, as a percentage of net revenue, higher research and development expenses and lower other income, net, offset, in part, by higher gross profit margins earned on worldwide sales of Consumer Healthcare products. The 2006 second quarter and first half were impacted by the absence of net revenue from SOLGAR products, which were divested in the 2005 third quarter, as well as the impact of retailer actions and state and federal legislation in connection with pseudoephedrine (PSE)-containing products.

Worldwide Animal Health income before income taxes for the 2006 second quarter and first half increased approximately 1% and 3%, respectively. The 2006 second quarter increase was due primarily to higher net revenue offset, in part, by lower gross profit margins earned on worldwide sales of Animal Health products and higher selling and general expenses, as a percentage of net revenue. The 2006 first half increase was due primarily to higher net revenue and higher gross profit margins earned on worldwide sales of Animal Health products offset, in part, by higher selling and general expenses, as

a percentage of net revenue. Selling expenses were impacted by a $9.0 million provision (recorded in the 2006 second quarter) related to the voluntary recall of one serial of RABVAC (rabies vaccine) in the U.S. This reserve represents re-vaccination fees to veterinarians.

Corporate expenses, net for the 2006 second quarter were $140.4 million compared with $100.3 million for the 2005 second quarter. Corporate expenses, net for the 2006 first half were $183.7 million compared with $137.7 million for the 2005 first half. Corporate expenses, net for the 2006 first half were impacted by a charge of $74.6 million related to our productivity initiatives, as well as lower interest expense, net.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates were 25.5% and 24.4% for the 2006 second quarter and first half, respectively, compared with 21.5% for both the 2005 second quarter and first half. The increase in the 2006 second quarter and first half tax rates reflect the impact of higher sales of certain Pharmaceuticals products (i.e., ENBREL, PREVNAR) that are manufactured in less favorable tax jurisdictions and increased expenditures on research and development in non-U.S. locations. The 2006 second quarter and first half rates do not assume the benefit of certain research and development tax credits since they have not yet been renewed for 2006.

Consolidated Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share Results

Net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2006 second quarter were $1,064.8 million and $0.78, respectively, compared with net income and diluted earnings per share of $976.6 million and $0.72, respectively, in the 2005 second quarter, which represent increases of 9% and 8%, respectively. Net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2006 first half were $2,184.4 million and $1.60, respectively, compared with net income and diluted earnings per share of $2,054.7 million and $1.52, respectively, in the 2005 first half, which represent increases of 6% and 5%, respectively.

Our management uses various measures to manage and evaluate our performance and believes it is appropriate to specifically identify certain significant items included in net income and diluted earnings per share to assist investors with analyzing ongoing business performance and trends. In particular, our management believes that comparisons between 2006 and 2005 results of operations are impacted by the 2006 first quarter net charges of $35.1 million ($24.2 million after-tax or $0.02 per share-diluted) and the 2006 second quarter net charges of $39.5 million ($27.3 million after-tax or $0.02 per share-diluted) related to our productivity initiatives. The productivity initiatives charges, which include costs of closing certain manufacturing facilities and the elimination of certain positions, have been identified as significant items by our management as these charges are not considered to be indicative of continuing operating results.

In addition, effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R which requires the expensing of stock options. As a result, the 2006 second quarter and first half results included stock option expense, which reduced diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.04 and $0.07, respectively. The 2005 second quarter results, which have not been restated to include the impact of stock options, would have included a charge of $69.6 million ($53.8 million after-tax or $0.04 per share-diluted) had we expensed stock options. Similarly, the 2005 first half results would have included a charge of $151.3 million ($118.9 million after-tax or $0.09 per share-diluted). Our management believes that including this expense as part of the 2005 second quarter and first half provides a more meaningful comparison of our operations for these accounting periods.

Excluding the 2006 second quarter and first half productivity initiative charges and assuming the expensing of stock options for the 2005 second quarter and first half, the increases in net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2006 second quarter and first half were due primarily to higher net revenue, lower costs of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, both as a percentage of net revenue, and lower interest expense, net, offset, in part, by higher research and development spending as well as the impact of a higher effective tax rate compared with the 2005 second quarter and first half. The 2006 first half was also impacted by lower other income, net.

Gains from product divestitures constitute an integral part of our analysis of divisional performance and are important to understanding changes in our reported net income. Gains from product divestitures for the 2006 second quarter and first half were $16.7 million ($12.1 million after-tax or $0.01 per share-diluted) and $34.3 million ($23.6 million after-tax or $0.02 per share-diluted), respectively, compared with $4.5 million ($2.7 million after-tax) and $143.0 million ($92.8 million after-tax or $0.07 per share-diluted), respectively, for the 2005 second quarter and first half.

Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources

Cash flows provided by operating activities totaling $1,364.9 million during the 2006 first half were generated primarily by net earnings of $2,184.4 million, offset, in part, by payments of $1,278.5 million related to the diet drug litigation. In the 2006 second quarter, $400.0 million of these payments were paid from the Seventh Amendment Security Fund (see Note 7 to the consolidated condensed financial statements). The cash flow impact of the change in working capital, which used $939.0 million of cash as of June 30, 2006, excluding the effects of foreign exchange, was offset, in part, by non-cash depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation included in net earnings. The change in working capital primarily consisted of a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $565.6 million relating to timing of payments, an increase in accounts receivable of $199.7 million relating to increased sales, an increase in inventory of $121.6 million due to increased inventory levels to support higher sales

and a decrease in accrued taxes of $41.2 million due to timing of payments. The change in working capital, which used $330.6 million of cash as of June 30, 2005 excluding the effects of foreign exchange, primarily consisted of a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $269.8 million relating to timing of payments and an increase in accounts receivable of $91.3 million relating to increased sales.

During the 2006 first half, we used $694.7 million of cash for purchases of marketable securities, $514.6 million of cash for investments in property, plant and equipment and $102.2 million of cash for the purchase of an additional equity interest in our joint venture in Japan with Takeda, pursuant to which we increased our ownership of the joint venture from 70% to 80% in April 2006. In addition, we received investment proceeds through the sales and maturities of marketable securities of $291.7 million and the sales of assets totaling $39.6 million.

Our financing activities in the 2006 first half included dividend payments of $672.5 million and purchases of common stock for treasury of $278.1 million.

Included in Accrued Expenses is the current portion of the reserves for diet drug litigation in the amount of $3,734.0 million. Based on progress to date with various aspects of the diet drug litigation, a substantial portion of this balance is likely to be paid during the remainder of 2006.

At June 30, 2006, we had outstanding $9,083.6 million in total debt, which consisted of notes payable and other debt. Maturities of our obligations as of June 30, 2006 are set forth below.

In light of the circumstances discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated condensed financial statements, it is not possible to predict our ultimate liability in connection with our diet drug legal proceedings. It is therefore not possible to predict whether, and if so when, such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows and whether cash flows from operating activities and existing and prospective financing resources will be adequate to fund our operations, pay all liabilities related to the diet drug litigation, pay dividends, maintain the ongoing programs of capital expenditures, and repay both the principal and interest on our

The market risk disclosures appearing on page 64 of the Company’s 2005 Financial Report as incorporated by reference in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K have not materially changed from December 31, 2005. At June 30, 2006, the fair values of our financial instruments were as follows:

 

(In millions)   

Notional/
Contract

Amount


   Carrying
Value


    Fair
Value


 

Description


      Assets (Liabilities)

 

Forward contracts(1)

   $1,832.1    $0.2     $0.2  

Option contracts(1)

   779.3    (2.6 )   (2.6 )

Interest rate swaps

   5,300.0    (204.1 )   (204.1 )

Outstanding debt(2)

   9,287.7    (9,083.6 )   (9,250.8 )

 

  (1) If the U.S. dollar were to strengthen or weaken by 10%, in relation to all hedged foreign currencies, the net payable on the forward and option contracts would collectively decrease or increase by approximately $97.2.

 

  (2) If the interest rates were to increase or decrease by one percentage point, the fair value of the outstanding debt would decrease or increase by approximately $690.2.

The estimated fair values approximate amounts at which these financial instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. Therefore, fair values are based on estimates using present value and other valuation techniques that are significantly affected by the assumptions used concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates that reflect varying degrees of risk. The fair value of forward contracts, currency option contracts and interest rate swaps reflects the present value of the contracts at June 30, 2006 and the fair value of outstanding debt instruments reflects a current yield valuation based on observed market prices as of June 30, 2006.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2006, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. During the 2006 second quarter, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. During the 2006 second quarter, the Company upgraded Wyeth’s core SAP R/3 system in the U.S. from version 4.6c to version 5.0. This upgrade served to enable the latest functionality necessary to effectively manage the business, provide the technology foundation to upgrade other SAP applications, as well as further enhance the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

Item 5. Other Information

Wyeth gave notice dated August 1, 2006 to all senior managers (including all of its executive officers) and other key employees with whom it maintains change in control severance agreements that their existing change in control severance agreements (the Existing Agreements) would not be extended for the year ended December 31, 2009. Under the terms of the Existing Agreements, this means that if Wyeth undergoes a change in control (as defined in the agreements) on or prior to December 31, 2008, the provisions of the Existing Agreements will be applicable to such transaction and govern a termination of employment thereafter. In connection with that notice, Wyeth also offered to enter into forms of replacement change in control severance agreements (the Replacement Agreements) with these senior managers and other key employees that would apply to change in control transactions occurring on or after January 1, 2009.

The decision to terminate the Existing Agreements and to enter into the Replacement Agreements arose from Wyeth’s ongoing review of its compensation practices and was recommended by the Compensation and Benefits Committee, after consultation with the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, and approved by Wyeth’s Board of Directors. While the changes generally reduce the benefits available to senior managers and other key employees under the agreements, Wyeth believes that the Replacement Agreements are consistent with current industry practices while supporting Wyeth’s attraction and retention of key employees.

Both the Existing Agreements and the Replacement Agreements generally provide that if a change in control of Wyeth occurs, the senior manager or key employee will receive a one-time cash severance payment, as well as other benefits, if Wyeth or the surviving company terminates his or her employment other than for “disability” or “cause” or the senior manager or key employee terminates his or her employment for “good reason” (in each case as defined in the relevant agreements). A description of the Existing Agreements appears in Wyeth’s 2006 Proxy Statement under the caption “Change in Control Severance Agreements.”

The following is a summary of the key differences between the Existing Agreements and the Replacement Agreements:

 

  o  

Under the Existing Agreements, the calculation of the severance payment is equal to three times, in the case of senior managers, and two times, in the case of other key employees, the total of (a) the senior manager’s or key employee’s base salary at the rate in effect at the time of the change in control (and increased to reflect any subsequent increase), (b) the highest bonus awarded to the senior manager or key employee in any of the three years immediately prior to the termination year, and (c) an amount equal to the greatest Black-Scholes value (determined as of the date of grant, in accordance with the Existing Agreements), of any grant of options and restricted stock and/or performance shares (converting such restricted stock and/or performance shares to option shares in accordance with the formula used to determine the share grant and treating them as having been granted as shares subject to an option for purposes of this determination) made to the senior manager or key employee in any of the three years prior to the change in control or, if greater, following the change of control. In addition, the senior manager or key

Table of Contents
 

employee would also receive a pro-rated bonus, calculated through the date of termination. Under the Replacement Agreements, the calculation of the severance payment has changed by:

  o   no longer including the value of equity awards (clause (c) above) in calculating the amount of severance, and
  o   changing the bonus calculation such that it is equal to the average of the senior manager’s or key employee’s three highest bonuses over the prior five years. A default mechanism for senior managers and key employees who do not have a bonus history is also included in the Replacement Agreements.
  o   The Existing Agreements with senior managers permit a senior manager to terminate his or her employment during the 90-days following the first anniversary of a change in control for any reason with such termination constituting a termination for good reason, thereby entitling such senior manager to payment of severance and other benefits under the Existing Agreement. The Replacement Agreements eliminate this provision.
  o   Under the Existing Agreements, senior managers and key employees are eligible for retiree medical coverage if they have attained age 45 upon termination. Under the Replacement Agreements, eligibility for retiree medical coverage is only achieved if: (i) the senior manager or key employee is either age 50 on the termination date or (ii) the sum of the senior manager’s or key employee’s age and years of service equals or exceeds 60, after adding three years, in the case of senior managers, and two years, in the case of other key employees, to both service and age.
  o   Under the Existing Agreements, senior managers and key employees are eligible for an unreduced pension payable at age 55. Under the Replacement Agreements, eligibility for an unreduced pension payable at age 55 is only achieved if, at termination, the sum of the senior manager’s or key employee’s age and years of service equals or exceeds 60, after adding three years, in the case of senior managers, and two years, in the case of other key employees, to both the employee’s service and age.
  o   Under the Existing Agreements, senior managers and key employees are entitled to receive certain continued fringe benefits for three years, in the case of senior managers, and two years, in the case of other key employees. The Replacement Agreements replace this provision with a one-time cash payment equal to $60,000 and $40,000, respectively.
  o   The Replacement Agreements add a provision prohibiting senior managers and key employees from soliciting Wyeth employees or exclusive long-term contractors to leave employment with Wyeth for two years following the date of termination.
  o   The Replacement Agreements change the definition for determining when termination as a result of relocation constitutes resignation for “good reason.”

The Existing Agreements apply to a change in control that occurs on or prior to December 31, 2008 and would govern for up to 36 months following a transaction that

 

54


Table of Contents

occurs on or prior to December 31, 2008. The Replacement Agreements apply to a change in control that occurs on or after January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2011 and would govern for up to 36 months following such a transaction. The Replacement Agreements will automatically extend in one-year increments unless Wyeth provides a notice of termination no later than September 30 in the year two years prior to such December 31 termination date.

Wyeth’s Board of Directors also approved forms of new severance agreements (the New Agreements) to be entered into with newly-hired or newly-eligible senior managers and other key employees that are comparable to the relevant Replacement Agreements, except that the initial term of these agreements will expire on December 31, 2008. In addition, the Board of Directors also approved forms of amendments to the Existing Agreements (the 409A Amendments) relating to technical changes to comply with Section 409A, which was added to the Internal Revenue Code by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.

The forms of the Replacement Agreements, the New Agreements and the 409A Amendments are filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
