Wyeth (Continued)

“Wyeth delivered another outstanding quarter and a solid 2007 first half led by growth of the biotech product Enbrel and Prevnar vaccine,” said Robert Essner, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Wyeth also received FDA approval for the novel contraceptive Lybrel, as well as Torisel for the treatment of advanced renal cancer during the quarter. We are on track for another excellent year, and have increased our full year pro forma diluted earnings per share guidance to a range of $3.48 to $3.56.”

Wyeth (Continued)

ENBREL® continued to post strong global revenue growth in the 2007 second quarter. Wyeth has exclusive rights to Enbrel outside the United States and Canada. Enbrel sales in the United States and Canada, our share of which is reflected in alliance revenue, are expected to be reported by Wyeth’s marketing partner Amgen Inc. on Thursday, July 26. Enbrel is a breakthrough product approved for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis. Enbrel ranks eighth in global sales among the best-selling pharmaceutical products and is the second fastest growing among the top ten. It is ranked second in total global sales among all biotech products.

PREVNAR®, Wyeth’s vaccine to prevent invasive pneumococcal disease in infants and young children, continues to be the world’s best-selling vaccine. International net revenue continued its steady growth increasing 35% for the 2007 second quarter largely due to the positive impact of national immunization programs that began in late 2006 in several countries including Germany, Mexico, and the Netherlands.

EFFEXOR® (Effexor and Effexor XR) continues to be the number one selling antidepressant globally and an important therapy in treating adult patients with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Strong sales in key European markets, including Germany and France, contributed to the increase in the 2007 second quarter net revenue.

R&D Update

Wyeth R&D also experienced a successful 2007 second quarter. In April, the Company received an approvable letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for VIVIANT (bazedoxifene) for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis. During May, two exciting new products gained FDA approval: LYBREL, the first low-dose combination oral contraceptive that is taken 365 days a year so that over time women may become cycle-free; and, TORISEL (temsirolimus) for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. Also during May, the Company submitted an application to European authorities for approval to market a subcutaneous formulation of methylnaltrexone for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation in patients with advanced illness.

During May and June, Wyeth presented important clinical data for four potential new products – bifeprunox for schizophrenia, PRISTIQ (desvenlafaxine succinate) for prevention of vasomotor symptoms and major depressive disorder, and Torisel. In addition, Wyeth and its partner, Elan Corporation, plc, announced that a Phase 3 clinical trial for its Alzheimer’s compound, bapineuzumab (AAB-001), would be initiated later this year to treat patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease.

2007 Second Quarter Results

Net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2007 second quarter were $1,198.5 million and $0.87, respectively, compared with $1,064.8 million and $0.78 for the 2006 second quarter. The 2007 second quarter results included net charges of $49.8 million

Wyeth (Continued)

($37.0 million after-tax or $0.03 per share-diluted) related to the Company’s productivity initiatives. The 2006 second quarter results included net charges of $39.5 million ($27.3 million after-tax or $0.02 per share-diluted) related to the Company’s productivity initiatives. The 2007 and 2006 productivity initiatives charges are considered to be certain significant items for purposes of analyzing the Company’s results of operations. Net income and diluted earnings per share, before certain significant items, for the 2007 second quarter were $1,235.5 million and $0.90, respectively, compared with $1,092.1 million and $0.80, respectively, for the 2006 second quarter.

The increase in net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2007 second quarter, before certain significant items, resulted from higher net revenue, lower selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, higher interest income, net and higher other income, net offset, in part, by higher research and development spending and increased income taxes. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net revenue, was slightly higher than the 2006 second quarter. Included in other income, net were pre-tax gains from product divestitures of $41.3 million and $16.7 million for the 2007 and 2006 second quarter, respectively.

2007 First Half Results

Net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2007 first half were $2,452.6 million and $1.79, respectively, compared with $2,184.4 million and $1.60 for the 2006 first half. The 2007 first half results included net charges of $92.4 million ($66.5 million after-tax or $0.05 per share-diluted) related to the Company’s productivity initiatives. The 2006 first half results included net charges of $74.6 million ($51.5 million after-tax or $0.04 per

The 2007 and 2006 productivity initiatives charges are considered to be certain significant items for purposes of analyzing the Company’s results of operations. Net income and diluted earnings per share, before certain significant items, for the 2007 first half were $2,519.1 million and $1.84, respectively, compared with $2,235.9 million and $1.64, respectively, for the 2006 first half.

The increase in net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2007 first half, before certain significant items, resulted from higher net revenue, lower selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, higher interest income, net and higher other income, net offset, in part, by higher research and development spending and increased income taxes. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net revenue, was consistent with the 2006 first half. Included in other income, net were pre-tax gains from product divestitures of $57.6 million and $34.3 million for the 2007 and 2006 first half, respectively.

To assist in performing second quarter and first half comparisons, a pro forma presentation, which excludes our productivity initiatives, is provided under “Results of Operations – As Adjusted” at the end of this press release.

2007 Earnings Guidance

The Company has raised its 2007 full year pro forma diluted earnings per share guidance range to $3.48 to $3.56. This guidance is considered pro forma as it excludes the impact of charges relating to the Company’s productivity initiatives.

Consolidated Total

   $ 5,648    10%    $ 11,017    10%
                       

        Pharmaceuticals

Worldwide Pharmaceuticals net revenue increased 11% for the 2007 second quarter and first half due primarily to higher sales of Prevnar, Protonix®, Enbrel, Nutrition products and Zosyn®. Effexor sales increased 6% for the 2007 second quarter and remained consistent with the prior year for the 2007 first half. The increase in Pharmaceuticals net revenue was offset, in part, by lower sales of Zoton® and Inderal® LA due to generic competition. Alliance revenue decreased 1% to $355 million for the 2007 second quarter, and increased 8% to $659 million for the 2007 first half, due primarily to higher sales of Enbrel in the United States and Canada for the 2007 second quarter and first half, which were more than offset by lower alliance revenue associated with sales of the CYPHER stent and Altace in the 2007 second quarter and partially offset by lower alliance revenue associated with sales of the CYPHER stent in the

2007 first half. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange, worldwide Pharmaceuticals net revenue increased 9% for the 2007 second quarter and first half.

        Consumer Healthcare

Worldwide Consumer Healthcare net revenue increased 4% for the 2007 second quarter due primarily to an increase in sales of Centrum®, Advil®, and Caltrate®. The increase was partially offset by lower year over year sales of Dimetapp® and Robitussin® due to higher than normal off-season sales during the 2006 second quarter resulting from the transition to phenylephrine (PE) replacement formulations in connection with retailer actions and federal and state legislation related to pseudoephedrine-containing products. Sales of Advil® Cold & Sinus were also lower during the 2007 second quarter as the brand continues to be sold behind the counter pending FDA review of a PE reformulation. Net revenue increased 7% for the 2007 first half due primarily to an increase in sales of Centrum, Advil, Advil® PM, Caltrate and Robitussin. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange, worldwide Consumer Healthcare net revenue increased 1% for the 2007 second quarter and 5% for the 2007 first half.

        Animal Health

Worldwide Animal Health net revenue increased 2% for the 2007 second quarter due to higher sales of livestock and poultry products, offset, in part, by lower sales of companion animal products. Net revenue for the 2007 first half increased 6% due primarily to higher sales of companion animal, livestock, equine and poultry products. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange, worldwide Animal Health net revenue decreased 1% for the 2007 second quarter and increased 3% for the 2007 first half.

Other income, net included royalty income for the 2007 second quarter and first half of $61,819 and $138,783, respectively, compared with $67,787 and $133,234 for the prior year.

 

 

(2)

The average number of common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share is higher than for basic earnings per share due to the assumed conversion of the Company’s outstanding convertible senior debentures, outstanding stock options, deferred contingent common stock awards, restricted stock awards and convertible preferred stock into common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, interest expense, net of capitalized interest and taxes related to the Company’s outstanding convertible senior debentures is added back to reported net income, and the additional common shares (assuming conversion) are included in total shares outstanding. Interest expense, net of capitalized interest and taxes was $7,907 and $15,779 for the 2007 second quarter and first half, respectively, compared with $6,981 and $13,741 for the 2006 second quarter and first half, respectively.

Wyeth calculates net income before certain significant items by excluding the after-tax effect of items considered by management to be unusual from the net income reported under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Wyeth’s management uses this measure to manage and evaluate the Company’s performance and believes it is appropriate to disclose this non-GAAP measure to assist investors with analyzing business performance and trends. The productivity initiatives charges, which include costs associated with the Global Business Operations initiative, the costs of closing certain manufacturing facilities, including accelerated depreciation, certain reorganization expenses and the elimination of certain positions at the Company’s facilities have been excluded as these charges are not considered to be indicative of continuing operating results. Wyeth’s management believes that excluding these items from the Company’s results provides a more appropriate view of the Company’s operations for the accounting periods presented. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the results of operations and diluted earnings per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.
