NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 07-01, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF 07-01). EITF 07-01 provides guidance for determining if a collaborative arrangement exists and establishes procedures for reporting revenues and costs generated from transactions with third parties, as well as between the parties within the collaborative arrangement, and provides guidance for financial statement disclosures of collaborative arrangements. EITF 07-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods where collaborative arrangements existed as of the effective date. The Company currently is assessing the impact of EITF 07-01 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, as well as interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company currently is assessing the impact of FSP 142-3 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 11, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company will adopt SFAS No. 162 when effective.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled In Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (FSP APB 14-1). FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company currently is assessing the impact of FSP APB 14-1 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

For the 2008 full year, the Company expects to contribute approximately $220.0 million to its defined benefit pension plans and make payments of approximately $100.0 million for its other postretirement benefits.

 

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, FASB issued FSP 157-2, “Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement 157”, which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.

The Company uses the following methods for determining fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157. For assets and liabilities that are measured using quoted prices in active markets for the identical asset or liability, the total fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs (Level 1). Assets and liabilities that are measured using significant other observable inputs are valued by reference to similar assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities (Level 2). For all remaining assets and liabilities for which there are no significant observable inputs, fair value is derived using an assessment of various discount rates, default risk, credit quality and the overall capital market liquidity (Level 3).

The following table summarizes the basis used to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet:

Note 5. Productivity Initiatives

In 2008, the Company continued its productivity initiatives by launching Project Impact, a company-wide program designed to initially address short-term fiscal challenges, particularly the significant loss of sales and profits resulting from the launch of generic versions of PROTONIX. Longer-term, Project Impact will include strategic actions designed to fundamentally change how the Company conducts business across the entire Company and to adapt to the continuously changing environment.

The Company recorded the following charges related to productivity initiatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

Note 7. Income Taxes

Except for the California Franchise Tax Board, where the Company has filed protests for the 1996-2003 tax years, taxing authorities generally are reviewing the Company’s tax returns for post-2001 tax years, including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which has begun its audit of the Company’s tax returns for the 2002-2005 tax years. As part of this audit, the IRS is examining the pricing of the Company’s cross-border arrangements. While the Company believes that the pricing of these arrangements is appropriate and that its reserves are adequate with respect to such pricing, it is possible that the IRS will propose adjustments in excess of such reserves and that conclusion of the audit will result in adjustments in excess of such reserves. An unfavorable resolution for open tax years could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in the period in which an adjustment is recorded and in future periods. The Company believes that an unfavorable resolution for open tax years would not be material to the financial position of the Company; however, each year, the Company records significant tax benefits with respect to its cross-border arrangements, and the possibility of a resolution that is material to the financial position of the Company cannot be excluded.

 

Note 8. Contingencies and Commitments

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 2007 Financial Report as incorporated in its 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K (referred to as the Company’s 2007 Financial Report) and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed since the filing of the 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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.

Like many pharmaceutical companies in the current legal environment, the Company is involved in legal proceedings, including product liability and patent litigation, that are significant to its business, complex in nature and have outcomes that are difficult to predict. Product liability claims, regardless of their merits or their ultimate outcomes, are costly, divert management’s attention, and may adversely affect the Company’s reputation and demand for its products and may result in significant damages. Patent litigation, if resolved unfavorably, can injure the Company’s business by subjecting the Company’s products to earlier than expected generic competition and also can give rise to payment of significant damages or restrictions on the Company’s future ability to operate its business.

The Company intends to vigorously defend itself and its products in the litigation described below and in its prior filings and believes its legal positions are strong. However, from time to time, the Company may settle or decide no longer to pursue particular litigation as it deems advisable. In light of the circumstances discussed above, it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of the Company’s legal proceedings, and, therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings could be material to the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

The following presents certain recent developments concerning the Company’s legal proceedings and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prior reports.

Product Liability Litigation

Diet Drug Litigation

The litigation against the Company alleging that the Company’s former weight loss products, REDUX and/or PONDIMIN, caused certain serious conditions, including valvular heart disease and primary pulmonary hypertension, is described in detail in the Company’s 2007 Financial Report. Total diet drug litigation payments were $834.7 million and $888.7 million for the 2008 second quarter and first half, respectively, of

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

which $802.4 million and $821.7 million for the 2008 second quarter and first half, respectively, were made in connection with the nationwide settlement (including a $798.0 million payment under the Seventh Amendment). Payments under the nationwide settlement may continue, if necessary, until 2018. The Company has taken charges in connection with the REDUX and PONDIMIN diet drug matters, which to date total $21,100.0 million. The $1,369.6 million reserve balance at June 30, 2008 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, claims asserted by opt outs from the nationwide settlement and primary pulmonary hypertension claims, and including the Company’s legal fees related to the diet drug litigation. It is possible that additional reserves may be required in the future, although the Company does not believe that the amount of any such additional reserves is likely to be material.

Hormone Therapy Litigation

The litigation against the Company alleging injury as a result of the plaintiffs’ use of one or more of the Company’s hormone or estrogen therapy products, including PREMARIN and PREMPRO, is described in the Company’s 2007 Financial Report and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 (2008 First Quarter 10-Q). As of July 28, 2008, the Company was defending approximately 8,500 actions brought on behalf of approximately 11,500 women in various federal and state 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 increase in the number of cases and plaintiffs since the Company’s last Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q appears to be related to the sixth anniversary of the July 9, 2002 release of data from the Women’s Health Initiative. The substantial majority of the new cases were filed prior to July 9, 2008 in state or federal court in Minnesota (by plaintiffs resident throughout the United States) in an apparent attempt to take advantage of Minnesota’s six-year statute of limitations for tort actions. The Company is contesting the applicability of the Minnesota statute to out-of-state residents.

As described in the Company’s 2007 Financial Report and 2008 First Quarter 10-Q, on February 25, 2008, a jury in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff in Scroggin v. Wyeth, et al., No. 4:04CV01169 WRW, finding the Company and co-defendant Upjohn jointly and severally liable for $2.75 million in compensatory damages. On March 6, 2008, that jury awarded $19.36 million in punitive damages against the Company and $7.76 million in punitive damages against Upjohn. On April 9, 2008, the Company filed motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or for a new trial. With respect to the compensatory damage award, those motions were denied in an order dated April 10, 2008. On July 8, 2008, the court granted motions by the Company and Upjohn for judgment as a matter of law on the issue of punitive damages and vacated the punitive

damage awards. The Company has filed a notice of appeal from the compensatory verdict to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, and the plaintiff has appealed from the punitive damages ruling.

On July 11, 2008, the New Jersey Superior Court, Middlesex County, granted the Company’s motions for summary judgment in Bailey, et al. v. Wyeth, Inc., et al., No. MID-L-0999-06, and DeBoard v. Wyeth, Inc., et al., No. MID-L-1147-06, dismissing all claims in both cases. The cases had been scheduled for trial in September and October 2008, respectively. The court found that all of plaintiffs’ claims were governed by New Jersey’s Product Liability Act (PLA), that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved warnings for PREMARIN and PREMPRO were presumed under the PLA to be adequate as a matter of law and that plaintiffs had failed to present evidence that met the two exceptions to that presumption of adequacy.

Of the 30 hormone therapy cases alleging breast cancer that have been resolved after being set for trial, 24 now have been resolved in the Company’s favor (by voluntary dismissal by the plaintiffs (14), summary judgment (6), defense verdict (3) or judgment for the Company notwithstanding the verdict (1)), several of which are being appealed by the plaintiffs. Of the remaining six cases, three such cases have been settled; one (Daniel) resulted in a plaintiffs’ verdict that was vacated by the court and a new trial ordered (which plaintiffs have appealed); and two (Rowatt and Scroggin) resulted in plaintiffs’ verdicts that the Company is challenging on appeal. Additional cases have been voluntarily dismissed by plaintiffs before a trial setting. There are no trials of additional hormone therapy cases scheduled for the remainder of 2008; additional trials are scheduled for 2009. Individual trial results depend on a variety of factors, including many that are unique to the particular case, and the Company’s trial results to date, therefore, may not be predictive of future trial results.

As the Company has not determined that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable, the Company has not established any litigation accrual for its hormone therapy litigation. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has recorded approximately $170.0 million in insurance receivables relating to defense and settlement costs of its hormone therapy litigation. The insurance carriers that provide coverage that the Company contends is applicable have generally reserved their rights with respect to such coverage. The Company continues to provide information to those carriers and to discuss coverage issues. However, two such carriers have denied coverage for the hormone therapy litigation. The Company believes that those denials are improper and intends to enforce its rights under the terms of those policies.

In April 2008, Sandoz Inc. (Sandoz) notified the Company and Nycomed that it had filed an ANDA seeking FDA approval to market generic pantoprazole sodium 40 mg base/vial I.V. On May 16, 2008, the Company and Nycomed filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Sandoz in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging that Sandoz’s ANDA submission constitutes infringement of the Orange Book listed patent, U.S. Patent No. 6,780,881, which protects the PROTONIX I.V. formulation and expires in November 2021. This suit does not involve the pantoprazole compound patent, U.S. Patent No. 4,758,579, that is the subject of the previously filed lawsuits against Teva, Sun and KUDCo pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey described above.

In April 2008, Teva Parenteral Medicines, Inc. (TPMI) notified the Company and Nycomed that it had filed an application with the FDA pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 355(b)(2), also known as a 505(b)(2) application, seeking FDA approval to market generic pantoprazole sodium 40 mg base/vial I.V. On June 11, 2008, the Company and Nycomed filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Teva and TPMI in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that TPMI’s 505(b)(2) submission constitutes infringement of the Orange Book listed patent, U.S. Patent No. 4,758,579, which protects the pantoprazole compound and expires in July 2010. This suit involves the same patent at issue in the previously filed lawsuits against Teva, Sun and KUDCo that also are pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey described above.

EFFEXOR Litigation

On July 16, 2008, pursuant to a settlement agreement between the parties, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware entered a consent judgment and dismissed the suit filed by the Company on April 5, 2006 against Impax Laboratories, Inc. (Impax), alleging that the filing by Impax of an ANDA seeking FDA approval to market 37.5 mg, 75 mg and 150 mg venlafaxine HCl extended release capsules infringes the same three patents at issue in the previously settled Teva litigation (described in the Company’s 2007 Financial Report). Under the agreement, the Company has granted Impax a license that would permit Impax to launch its generic capsule formulation of EFFEXOR XR on or after June 1, 2011, subject to earlier launch in limited circumstances, but in no event earlier than January 1, 2011. Impax will pay the Company a specified percentage of profit from sales of this generic product. The parties also have agreed that Impax will utilize its neurology-focused sales force to co-promote a product to be named by the Company.

In the litigation in the United States District Court for the Central District of California filed by the Company against Anchen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Anchen) and related parties, alleging that the filing by Anchen of an ANDA seeking FDA approval to market 37.5 mg, 75 mg and 150 mg venlafaxine HCl extended release capsules infringes the same three patents that were at issue in the previously settled Teva litigation (described in the Company’s 2007 Financial Report), the Court, at the request of the parties, has continued the September 2008 trial date for at least 90 days.

On June 26, 2008, the Company filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Biovail Corporation, Biovail Laboratories International SRL and Biovail Technologies, Ltd. (collectively, Biovail) alleging that Biovail’s filing of an ANDA seeking FDA approval to market 37.5 mg, 75 mg and 150 mg venlafaxine HCl extended release capsules infringes the same three patents at issue in the previously settled Teva litigation (described in the Company’s 2007 Financial Report). The filing of that suit triggered a 30-month stay of FDA approval that expires on or about November 15, 2010 unless there is an earlier court decision holding the patents at issue invalid or not infringed.

REFACTO Litigation

On May 16, 2008, a subsidiary of the Company filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, Inc. (Novartis) seeking a declaration that the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 4,868,112 and Novartis’ U.S. Patent Nos. 6,060,447 and 6,228,620 claim the same or substantially the same inventions and that the Company was the first to invent this subject matter. The suit also seeks a declaration that the Novartis patents are invalid as a result of the Company’s priority of invention. Novartis’ patents are the subject of a separate lawsuit filed by Novartis against the Company and a subsidiary of the Company, which is discussed in the Company’s 2007 Financial Report.

LYBREL Litigation

In a letter dated April 16, 2008, Sandoz notified the Company that it had filed an ANDA containing a Paragraph IV certification seeking FDA approval to market a generic version of LYBREL (levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol tablets, 0.09 mg/0.02 mg) prior to the expiration of the Orange Book listed patent, U.S. Patent No. 6,500,814, which is a method of use patent that covers LYBREL and expires in September 2018. On May 28, 2008, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Sandoz in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that Sandoz’s filing infringes this patent.

Commercial Litigation

Average Wholesale Price Litigation

In the litigation in which plaintiffs allege that the Company and other defendant pharmaceutical companies artificially inflated the Average Wholesale Price (AWP) of their drugs described in the Company’s 2007 Financial Report and 2008 First Quarter 10-Q, an additional state case has been filed naming the Company as a defendant along with other pharmaceutical manufacturers. State of Utah v. Apotex Corporation, et al., No. 080907678, 3d Jud. Dist. Ct., Salt Lake Cty., UT, alleges that defendants provided false and inflated AWP, Wholesale Acquisition Cost and/or Direct Price information for their drugs to various national drug industry reporting services.

Grand Jury Investigation

The Company has been served with additional subpoenas for documents and grand jury testimony from the United States Attorney’s Office, District of Massachusetts. The subpoenas seek information and testimony relating to the Company’s promotional practices with respect to PROTONIX, as well as the Company’s pricing of PROTONIX oral tablets and I.V. products. The Company is producing documents responsive to the subpoenas on a rolling basis and continues to cooperate with the investigation. A number of additional current and former employees of the Company also have testified before the grand jury during 2008.

Antitrust Matters

K-Dur 20. As described in the Company’s 2007 Financial Report, numerous antitrust lawsuits have been brought against the Company in federal and state courts throughout the United States based on the Company’s 1998 settlement of certain patent litigation with Schering-Plough Corporation (Schering) relating to ESI Lederle’s (a former division of the Company) proposed generic version of Schering’s K-Dur 20. In April 2008, the cases that were pending in federal court which had been consolidated or were being coordinated as part of a multi-district federal litigation being conducted in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, In re K-Dur Antitrust Litigation, MDL 1419, U.S.D.C., D.N.J., were dismissed. The Company is aware of approximately 21 remaining private antitrust lawsuits that have been filed against the Company by plaintiffs who claim to be indirect purchasers or end payors of K-Dur 20. These lawsuits currently are pending in various state courts in the United States.

Regulatory Proceedings

Other

On June 9, 2008, the Court dismissed without prejudice the case of United States ex rel. Sokol and Livingston v. Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Inc., No. 1:06CV1304 (U.S.D.C., E.D.

Environmental Matters

MPA Matter

In connection with the alleged violations by Wyeth Medica Ireland (WMI) of the Irish Waste Management Act and WMI’s Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control license, described in the Company’s 2007 Financial Report, the Irish High Court in Dublin has denied WMI’s challenge to the right of the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Irish Environmental Protection Agency to prosecute this matter. WMI has appealed the High Court’s decision to the Supreme Court of Ireland and the prosecution in the local Circuit Court will remain suspended pending resolution of the Supreme Court appeal.

 

Note 9. Company Data by Segment

The Company has four reportable segments: Wyeth Pharmaceuticals (Pharmaceuticals), Wyeth Consumer Healthcare (Consumer Healthcare), Fort Dodge Animal Health (Animal Health) and Corporate. The Company’s Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Healthcare and Animal Health reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. The reportable segments are managed separately because they develop, manufacture, distribute and sell distinct products and provide services that require differing technologies and marketing strategies. The Company’s Corporate segment is responsible for the audit, controller, treasury, tax and legal operations of the Company’s businesses and maintains and/or incurs certain assets, liabilities, income, expense, gains and losses related to the overall management of the Company that are not allocated to the other reportable segments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following commentary should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and notes to consolidated condensed financial statements on pages 7 to 22 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 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2008. 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 47 to 49 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 have three principal operating segments: Wyeth Pharmaceuticals (Pharmaceuticals), Wyeth Consumer Healthcare (Consumer Healthcare) and Fort Dodge Animal Health (Animal Health), which we manage separately because they develop, manufacture, distribute and sell distinct products and provide services that require differing technologies and marketing strategies. These segments reflect how senior management reviews the business, makes investing and resource allocation decisions, and assesses operating performance. The percentage of worldwide net revenue and revenue generated outside the United States by operating segment for the 2008 first half was as follows:

 

      Pharmaceuticals   Consumer
Healthcare
  Animal Health
% of 2008 first half worldwide
net revenue
   83%   12%   5%
% of 2008 first half segment net
revenue generated outside the
United States
   54%   52%   62%

We also have a reportable Corporate segment primarily responsible for the audit, controller, 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.

Our principal strategy for success is the development of innovative products. We strive to produce first-in-class and best-in-class therapies for significant unmet medical needs by leveraging our breadth of knowledge and our resources across three principal scientific development platforms: small molecules, biopharmaceuticals and vaccines.

We also strive to innovate commercially and change the way we approach our business in response to the challenging global health care environment. In 2008, we continued our productivity initiatives by launching Project Impact, a company-wide program designed to initially address short-term fiscal challenges, particularly the significant loss of sales and profits resulting from the launch of generic versions of PROTONIX. Longer-term, Project Impact will include strategic actions designed to fundamentally change how we conduct business across the entire Company and to adapt to the continuously changing environment.

In the 2008 first half, we received regulatory approvals for three new products. In February, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved XYNTHA (Antihemophilic Factor [Recombinant], Plasma/Albumin-Free), a recombinant factor VIII product for patients with hemophilia A for both the control and prevention of bleeding episodes and surgical prophylaxis. Also, in February, the FDA approved PRISTIQ (desvenlafaxine), a structurally novel, once-daily serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, to treat adult patients with major depressive disorder. In April, we and our collaboration partner, Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Progenics), received FDA approval for RELISTOR (methylnaltrexone bromide) for subcutaneous injection for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation in advanced-illness patients who are receiving palliative care. We and Progenics also have received approval from the European Commission and Health Canada for RELISTOR subcutaneous injection for the same indication. In May, the FDA granted fast track designation to our investigational 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine for use in infants and toddlers. In December 2007, we and our collaboration partner, Elan Corporation, plc, initiated a Phase 3 clinical program for our immunotherapeutic product candidate, bapineuzumab (AAB-001), for the treatment of patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Results from the principal Phase 2 study of bapineuzumab were presented at the International Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease on July 29, 2008. We continue to believe these results are encouraging and support the decision to initiate the Phase 3 clinical program.

2008 First Half Financial Highlights

 

   

Worldwide net revenue increased 6% over the 2007 first half to $11,656.0 million;

 

   

Worldwide Pharmaceuticals net revenue increased 5% over the 2007 first half due primarily to higher sales of ENBREL, EFFEXOR, PREVNAR, Nutrition products, ZOSYN and BENEFIX and the favorable impact of foreign exchange. Also contributing to net revenue growth were our new products TYGACIL, TORISEL, and

PRISTIQ. The increase in Pharmaceuticals net revenue was offset, in part, by lower sales of PROTONIX due to generic competition in the United States;

 

   

Consumer Healthcare net revenue increased 9% over the 2007 first half resulting from higher sales of CENTRUM, ADVIL and CALTRATE and the favorable impact of foreign exchange, which were partially offset by lower sales of ALAVERT and DIMETAPP; and

 

   

Animal Health net revenue increased 6% over the 2007 first half due to higher sales of poultry products and livestock products driven by ZULVAC bluetongue vaccine and the favorable impact of foreign exchange, which were offset by lower sales of equine products.

EFFEXOR (EFFEXOR and EFFEXOR XR) 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 number one selling antidepressant globally. In the United States, demand for EFFEXOR XR prescriptions declined slightly in the 2008 first half as we shifted promotional support to the launch of PRISTIQ, our new product for the treatment of adult patients with major depressive disorder. See “Our Challenging Business Environment” beginning on page 31 for a discussion of generic competition for EFFEXOR and EFFEXOR XR.

 

   

PREVNAR is our vaccine for preventing invasive pneumococcal disease in infants and children. PREVNAR is one of the world’s best selling vaccines and now is available in 88 countries worldwide and is included in 24 national immunization programs (NIPs), with several additional countries announcing their intention to initiate NIPs.

 

   

ENBREL is our treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and other conditions. We have exclusive rights to ENBREL outside the United States and Canada. We co-promote ENBREL with Amgen Inc. (Amgen) in the United States and Canada. ENBREL continues as the leading biotechnology brand in the world and ranks fifth in worldwide sales among the top pharmaceutical products.

Nutrition includes our infant formula and toddler products NURSOY, PROGRESS, PROMIL and S-26. We continue to expand into new markets, grow our business in the countries where we compete, particularly in key emerging markets such as China, and shift the focus of our business to the more profitable premium sector of the market.

 

   

ZOSYN (TAZOCIN internationally), our broad-spectrum I.V. antibiotic, continues to be the number one selling injectable antibiotic worldwide. Our new advanced formulation of ZOSYN launched during 2006 in the United States and in the majority of international markets in 2007. See “Our Challenging Business Environment” beginning on page 31 for a discussion of potential generic competition for ZOSYN.

 

   

Our PREMARIN family of products remains the leading therapy to help women address moderate to severe menopausal symptoms. See “Our Challenging Business Environment” beginning on page 31 for a discussion of recent publications of analyses of the benefits and risks of hormone therapy.

 

   

Sales of PROTONIX (pantoprazole sodium), our branded proton pump inhibitor indicated for gastroesophageal reflux disease, have been adversely affected during 2008 by the “at risk” launch of generic pantoprazole tablets in the United States by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Teva) and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Sun). We launched our own generic version of PROTONIX tablets in the 2008 first quarter. While our own generic has had some success in the marketplace, the sales of our own generic have not, and cannot, offset the substantial harm caused by the launch of infringing generics. We will continue to vigorously pursue our litigation against Teva, Sun and other infringing generics. See “Our Challenging Business Environment” beginning on page 31 for a discussion of generic competition for PROTONIX.

For more detail regarding 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 2007 Financial Report as incorporated in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the 2008 first quarter.

Our Product Pipeline

Our continued success depends, in large part, on the discovery and development of new and innovative pharmaceutical products and additional indications for existing products.

With respect to TYGACIL (tigecycline), our innovative broad-spectrum I.V. antibiotic for serious, hospital-based infections, in May 2008, we received an approvable letter from the FDA with respect to our supplemental New Drug Application supporting TYGACIL as a treatment for community-acquired pneumonia and as a treatment for additional resistant pathogens in the approved complicated skin and skin structure infection and complicated intra-abdominal infection indications. In its letter, the FDA requested that, before the application could be approved, we provide additional analyses to support the safety and efficacy of TYGACIL for the treatment of patients with community-acquired pneumonia with illness severe enough to require hospitalization, including those who are at higher risk of mortality. In addition, the FDA requested information regarding the benefit/risk of

 

26


Table of Contents

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations

Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

 

TYGACIL for any potential of liver toxicity. We had provided the requested liver information to the FDA during the latter part of the review period, and the FDA acknowledged in its letter that it had not yet reviewed this information. We expect that the timeline for submitting our complete response to the approvable letter will become more clear following discussions with the FDA. In April 2008, we withdrew our regulatory filing in the European Union (EU) for TYGACIL for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia based on the opinion of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) that our clinical data were not sufficient to allow the CHMP to conclude a positive benefit/risk balance in community-acquired pneumonia at this time. We also intend to commence new Phase 2 clinical trials of TYGACIL for the treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia in the 2008 third quarter.

Our New Drug Application (NDA) filing for PRISTIQ a structurally novel, once-daily serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, for the treatment of adult patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) was approved by the FDA in February 2008. FDA approval was subject to several post-marketing commitments, including conducting and submitting data from a new long-term maintenance (relapse prevention) study, a sexual dysfunction study, pediatric studies and a study exploring lower doses. The FDA also requested an additional non-clinical toxicity study. We began shipping PRISTIQ in April 2008 and conducted our full U.S. launch of the product in May 2008. In September 2007, we submitted our Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in Europe for desvenlafaxine for MDD. The CHMP has raised concerns about efficacy, and we do not anticipate receiving a CHMP opinion until early 2009.

With respect to our NDA filing with the FDA for PRISTIQ as a non-hormonal treatment for vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause, we received an approvable letter from the FDA on July 23, 2007. In its letter, the FDA indicated that before the application could be approved, it would be necessary for us to provide additional data regarding the potential for serious adverse cardiovascular and hepatic effects associated with the use of PRISTIQ in this indication. The FDA requested that these data come from a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of a duration of one year or more conducted in postmenopausal women. The FDA also requested that we address certain chemistry, manufacturing and controls deficiencies prior to approval. The FDA also made clinical and chemistry requests, which the FDA indicated were not approvability issues. The requested clinical trial currently is under way and will take at least 18 months to complete. With respect to regulatory review of desvenlafaxine for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms in the EU, we believe additional data will be necessary to address questions raised by the CHMP regarding the risk/benefit profile of desvenlafaxine in this indication, which could include data from the new study requested by the FDA. As a result, in March 2008, we withdrew our MAA in the EU for this indication.

We and our collaboration partner, Progenics, received approval for RELISTOR subcutaneous injection for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation in advanced-illness patients who are receiving palliative care, when response to laxative therapy has not been sufficient, from the FDA in April 2008 and from the European Commission in July 2008. RELISTOR subcutaneous injection also was approved in March 2008 in Canada, where it

We began shipping subcutaneous RELISTOR in the United States in June 2008, and we intend to launch subcutaneous RELISTOR in Europe on a country-by-country basis over the next several months. In May 2008, we and Progenics announced that the primary and secondary endpoints were not achieved in the second of two Phase 3 clinical trials of RELISTOR for intravenous use in the management of post-operative ileus in patients recovering from segmental colectomy surgical procedures, consistent with the earlier findings of the first Phase 3 intravenous post-operative ileus study announced in March 2008. In addition to the two studies in segmental colectomy patients, we are conducting a Phase 3 study of intravenous RELISTOR for the management of post-operative ileus in patients who have undergone surgical repair of large abdominal hernias. We and Progenics are studying the results of both Phase 3 intravenous post-operative ileus studies to determine whether and how to continue development of this formulation of RELISTOR for this indication. We also are working with Progenics to develop an oral formulation of RELISTOR.

Our NDA for XYNTHA was approved by the FDA in February 2008. XYNTHA is a recombinant factor VIII product for patients with hemophilia A for both the control and prevention of bleeding episodes and surgical prophylaxis. XYNTHA is manufactured and formulated using an albumin-free process and state-of-the-art nanofiltration technology. It also is the only recombinant factor VIII product to utilize an entirely non-human and non-animal based purification process. Our EU regulatory filing for REFACTO AF, the trade name for XYNTHA in the EU, remains under regulatory review.

With respect to VIVIANT (bazedoxifene), our selective estrogen receptor modulator for postmenopausal osteoporosis, the FDA has advised us that it expects to convene an advisory committee to review our pending NDAs for both the treatment and prevention indications. In December 2007, we received a second approvable letter from the FDA with respect to the prevention indication. In its letter, the FDA identified several remaining questions regarding issues that had been previously identified during the review process and that were not fully resolved by our complete response to the first approvable letter, which we received in April 2007. More specifically, the FDA has requested further analyses and discussion concerning the incidence of stroke and venous thrombotic events and has identified certain issues concerning data collection and reporting and requested additional source documents. In the letter, the FDA also indicated that the data from the Asian clinical studies that we submitted in late 2007 were not reviewed for this action. The approvable letter did not request the initiation of any new studies. In our February 2008 end-of-review conference with the FDA for the prevention indication, we agreed to conduct and submit further analyses of data from our clinical trials prior to the expected advisory committee meeting. In May 2008, we received an approvable letter from the FDA with respect to our NDA for VIVIANT for the treatment indication. In its letter, the FDA requested information similar to that outlined in its December 2007 approvable letter for the NDA for VIVIANT for the prevention indication. We expect that the FDA-requested advisory committee meeting will be scheduled following submission of our complete response to the approvable letters with respect to the prevention and treatment indications, which we plan to file by the end of 2008. Depending on the outcome of further dialogue with the FDA, the filing may be delayed until the first half of 2009. In September 2007, we submitted our MAA in Europe for VIVIANT

for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. During the ongoing review, the assessors have raised several questions regarding the efficacy results and non-clinical safety data and have raised concerns similar to the FDA regarding data collection and reporting. We plan to submit a response in the third quarter of 2008. We anticipate further feedback from the CHMP following our submission, after which we will assess our available regulatory options.

With respect to APRELA (bazedoxifene/conjugated estrogens), our tissue selective estrogen complex under development for menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis, we met with the FDA in early 2008 to review the results from our Phase 3 clinical trials and discuss our planned NDA filing. Both of the principal doses studied in these trials (20 mg BZA/0.625 mg CE and 20 mg BZA/0.45 mg CE) provided efficacy for bone protection and relief of vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause. In one of these trials - SMART-1 - endometrial safety was demonstrated at both doses. In a second of these trials presented at the 13th World Congress of Gynecological Endocrinology in Florence, Italy - SMART-4 - endometrial safety was demonstrated at the lower dose, but the incidence of endometrial hyperplasia was slightly higher than satisfactory at the higher dose. We believe that this slightly higher incidence likely resulted from the relatively low bioavailability of bazedoxifene in one of the formulations used in the SMART-4 trial as compared with the formulation used in SMART-1. While our discussions with the FDA are not yet complete, this could result in an initial NDA filing for only the lower dose (20 mg BZA/0.45 mg CE). We must successfully complete additional work before filing our NDA, including finalizing our proposed commercial formulation and linking it to the formulations used in the clinical trials, and we now expect to file our initial NDA no earlier than the second half of 2009. Depending on the outcome of this work and future interactions with the FDA, it is possible that additional clinical data may be necessary to support approval.

Our EU regulatory filing for ANYA, the proposed trade name in the EU for LYBREL (levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol), a new low-dose, non-cyclic continuous combination oral contraceptive that was approved by the FDA in May 2007, remains under regulatory review. We have not achieved approval in the first two phases of the review, and we now are in the Pan-European arbitration phase pursuant to which the application was referred to an external scientific advisory group to which we expect to present data in the 2008 third quarter. Following this presentation, we expect that CHMP will deliver its opinion. The final regulatory outcome for ANYA likely will be known by year-end 2008.

Our Phase 3 clinical program for our new 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine remains ongoing, with the FDA granting fast track designation to the vaccine for use in infants and toddlers in May 2008. We plan to submit our biologics license application for the vaccine to the FDA on a rolling basis as sections of the application are completed in order to facilitate the FDA’s review. Assuming positive results in our Phase 3 program, we expect to complete our U.S. filing for pediatric use of the vaccine in the first quarter of 2009 and in adults in early 2010. We are targeting filing for pediatric use outside the United States in the first quarter of 2009 but also are exploring opportunities to accelerate that timing.

In December 2007, we and our collaboration partner, Elan Corporation, plc, initiated a Phase 3 clinical program for our immunotherapeutic product candidate, bapineuzumab (AAB-001), for the treatment of patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Results from the

principal Phase 2 study of bapineuzumab were presented at the International Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease on July 29, 2008. We continue to believe these results are encouraging and support the decision to initiate the Phase 3 clinical program.

We also have two Phase 3 clinical programs in oncology under way: inotuzumab ozogamicin (CMC-544), a targeted calicheamicin conjugate under development for the treatment of follicular lymphoma, and bosutinib (SKI-606), a targeted kinase inhibitor under development for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia.

In May 2008, we withdrew our new drug application for EFFEXOR XR for the treatment of major depressive disorder in Japan.

We continue to actively pursue in-licensing opportunities and strategic collaborations to supplement our internal research and development efforts. 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, biotechnology and vaccines position us well.

Certain Product Liability Litigation

Diet Drug Litigation

We continue to address the challenges of our diet drug litigation, which is described in greater detail in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements, “Contingencies and Commitments,” contained in our 2007 Financial Report as incorporated in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Note 8 to our consolidated condensed financial statements, “Contingencies and Commitments,” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the 2008 First Quarter. The $1,369.6 million reserve balance at June 30, 2008 represents our 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, claims asserted by opt outs from the nationwide settlement and primary pulmonary hypertension claims, and including our legal fees related to the diet drug litigation. It is possible that additional reserves may be required in the future, although we do not believe that the amount of any such additional reserves is likely to be material.

Hormone Therapy Litigation

During 2006, we began the first of a number of trials in our hormone therapy litigation, which is described in greater detail in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements, “Contingencies and Commitments,” contained in our 2007 Financial Report as incorporated in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Note 8 to our consolidated condensed financial statements, “Contingencies and Commitments,” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the 2008 First Quarter.

As of July 28, 2008, we were defending approximately 8,500 actions brought on behalf of approximately 11,500 women in various federal and state courts throughout the United States for personal injuries, including primarily claims for breast cancer, as well as claims for, among other conditions, stroke, ovarian cancer and heart disease, allegedly resulting from their use of PREMARIN or PREMPRO. The increase in the number of cases and plaintiffs since our last Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q appears to be related to the sixth anniversary of the July 9, 2002 release of data from the Women’s Health Initiative. The substantial majority of the new cases were filed prior to July 9, 2008 in state or federal court in Minnesota (by plaintiffs resident throughout the United States) in an apparent attempt to take advantage of Minnesota’s six-year statute of limitations for tort actions. We are contesting the applicability of the Minnesota statute to out-of-state residents. We also face putative class action lawsuits from users of PREMARIN or PREMPRO seeking medical monitoring and purchase price refunds, as well as other damages. Most of these putative class actions have been dismissed or withdrawn, and a motion for class certification recently was denied without prejudice in a California statewide refund class action, while a hearing in a similar case in West Virginia is set for later this year.

Of the 30 hormone therapy cases alleging breast cancer that have been resolved after being set for trial, 24 have now been resolved in our favor (by voluntary dismissal by the plaintiffs (14), summary judgment (6), defense verdict (3) or judgment for us notwithstanding the verdict (1)), several of which are being appealed by the plaintiffs. Of the remaining six cases, three such cases have been settled, one resulted in a plaintiffs’ verdict that was vacated by the court and a new trial ordered (which plaintiffs have appealed), and two resulted in plaintiffs’ verdicts that we are challenging on appeal. Additional cases have been voluntarily dismissed by plaintiffs before a trial setting. No trials of additional hormone therapy cases are scheduled for the remainder of 2008, although additional trials are scheduled in 2009. Individual trial results depend on a variety of factors, including many that are unique to the particular case, and our trial results to date, therefore, may not be predictive of future trial results.

As we have not determined that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable, we have not established any litigation accrual for our hormone therapy litigation. As of June 30, 2008, we have recorded approximately $170.0 million in insurance receivables relating to defense and settlement costs of our hormone therapy litigation. The insurance carriers that provide coverage that we contend is applicable have generally reserved their rights with respect to such coverage. We continue to provide information to those carriers and to discuss coverage issues. However, two such carriers have denied coverage for the hormone therapy litigation. We believe that those denials are improper and intend to enforce our rights under the terms of those policies.

Our Challenging Business Environment

Generally, we face the same difficult environment that all research-based pharmaceutical companies are confronting. We continue to be challenged by the efforts of 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. Generic products are growing as a percentage of total prescriptions, and generic manufacturers are becoming more aggressive in challenging patents. 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. Competition among branded products also is intensifying. 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 is increasing.

Certain key challenges to our business are highlighted below, but we encourage you to review “Item 1A. RISK FACTORS” in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2008 for more information about challenges, risks and uncertainties.

Sales of PROTONIX have been adversely affected in 2008 by the “at risk” launch of generic pantoprazole tablets in the United States by Teva in December 2007, several years in advance of the expiration of the U.S. compound patent that we exclusively license from Nycomed GmbH (Nycomed), and the subsequent “at risk” launch of Sun’s generic pantoprazole tablets in January 2008. Following Teva’s “at risk” launch and its resulting impact on the market, we launched our own generic version of PROTONIX tablets in January 2008. However, sales of our own generic have not, and cannot, offset the substantial harm caused by the launch of the infringing generics. As described in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements, “Contingencies and Commitments,” contained in our 2007 Financial Report as incorporated in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Note 8 to our consolidated condensed financial statements, “Contingencies and Commitments,” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the 2008 First Quarter, PROTONIX is the subject of ongoing U.S. patent litigation between Wyeth and its partner, Nycomed, and several generic manufacturers. In September 2007, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey denied our motion for a preliminary injunction against Teva and Sun seeking to prevent the launch of a generic version of PROTONIX prior to resolution of ongoing patent litigation between the parties. The Court determined that Teva had raised sufficient questions about the validity of the patent to preclude the extraordinary remedy of a preliminary injunction. The Court did not conclude that the patent was invalid or not infringed and emphasized that its findings were preliminary. The Court also stated that the generic manufacturers will need to meet a higher burden of proof, clear and convincing evidence, to prove the compound patent is invalid. Wyeth and Nycomed have appealed the Court’s denial of the preliminary injunction. In addition, Wyeth and Nycomed have filed amended complaints against Teva and Sun seeking damages resulting from their patent infringement and have requested a jury trial. We now expect that trial in this matter will occur no earlier than the fourth quarter of 2009. Wyeth and Nycomed continue to believe that the PROTONIX patent is valid and enforceable and intend to continue to vigorously enforce our patent rights and seek monetary damages, including for lost profits and other damages, as well as orders prohibiting further infringement of the compound patent. However, the course and outcome of future proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and there is no assurance that we will be able to uphold the validity of the PROTONIX patent, recover monetary damages and/or obtain other requested relief.

Late in 2005, we reached agreement with Teva on a settlement of the U.S. patent litigation pertaining to Teva’s generic version of our EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) antidepressant. Under licenses granted to Teva as part of the settlement, Teva launched a generic version of EFFEXOR (immediate release tablets) in the United States in August 2006 and will be permitted to launch a generic version of EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) in the United States beginning on July 1, 2010, subject to earlier launch based on

specified events. Events that could trigger an earlier U.S. market entry by Teva with a generic version of EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) include specific market conditions and developments regarding the applicable Wyeth patents, including the outcome of other generic challenges to the patents. Six lawsuits concerning such generic challenges currently are pending. There can be no assurance that the outcome of these litigations or the occurrence of specific market conditions will not trigger generic entry by Teva or another generic manufacturer before July 1, 2010. In connection with the licenses pursuant to the settlement, Teva will pay us specified percentages of profit from sales of each of the Teva generic versions, subject to adjustment or suspension based on market conditions and developments regarding the applicable patent rights.

In July 2008, we reached agreement with Impax Laboratories, Inc. (Impax) on a settlement of the U.S. patent litigation pertaining to Impax’s proposed generic version of our EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) antidepressant. Under the terms of the settlement, we have granted Impax a license that would permit Impax to launch its generic version of EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) on or after June 1, 2011, subject to earlier launch in limited circumstances, but in no event earlier than January 1, 2011. In connection with the license pursuant to the settlement, Impax will pay us a specified percentage of profit from sales of its generic product. The parties also have agreed that Impax will utilize its neurology-focused sales force to co-promote a product to be named by us.

In 2007, we granted a covenant not to sue to Sun, which has filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) seeking FDA approval to market a venlafaxine HCl extended release tablet. The covenant not to sue is limited to the same three patents involved in the above-mentioned litigations and also limited to the specific tablet product that is the subject of Sun’s ANDA. Based on existing FDA practice, Sun’s ANDA for a tablet product could be approved without regard to Teva’s 180-day generic exclusivity for a capsule product. While to date the FDA has not approved Sun’s ANDA, if otherwise approvable, Sun’s ANDA could be approved at any time because the compound patent for venlafaxine, and its associated pediatric exclusivity period, expired on June 13, 2008. We anticipate that the FDA would not rate Sun’s tablet product as therapeutically equivalent, also referred to as AB rated, to EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules). Therefore, Sun’s tablet product ordinarily would not be substitutable for EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) at the pharmacy level.

In early 2008, we settled our U.S. patent litigation with Osmotica Pharmaceutical Corp. (Osmotica), which filed an NDA pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 355(b)(2) seeking FDA approval to market an extended release venlafaxine tablet. Under the terms of the settlement, we granted Osmotica a license under certain patents pursuant to which Osmotica would be required to pay us a royalty on sales of its extended release venlafaxine tablet. We learned on May 21, 2008 that the FDA had approved Osmotica’s tablet product but did not rate it as therapeutically equivalent, also referred to as AB rated, to EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules). Therefore, Osmotica’s tablet product ordinarily will not be substitutable for EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) at the pharmacy level.

Osmotica has not yet launched its tablet product. However, in the event that Sun obtains FDA approval and/or Sun or Osmotica successfully launches a tablet product, our sales of EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) in the United States would be negatively impacted, though we believe any impact in 2008 would be limited.

Generic versions of EFFEXOR (immediate release tablets) and EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) also have been introduced in certain major markets outside the United States. With the exception of Canada, where our combined net revenue from EFFEXOR (immediate release tablets) and EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) in the Canadian market has decreased significantly with the majority of the Canadian market shifting to generic versions, the impact on our results for the 2008 first half was limited, but we expect a broader impact during the balance of the year as generic versions are introduced in additional markets outside the United States.

In addition, in the United States, demand for EFFEXOR XR (extended release capsules) declined slightly in the 2008 second quarter as we shifted promotional support to the launch of PRISTIQ, our new product for the treatment of adult patients with major depressive disorder, which was launched in May 2008. PRISTIQ competes directly with our EFFEXOR family of products, and sales of EFFEXOR may be adversely impacted over time by the shift of our promotional support.

Compound patent protection for ZOSYN expired in the United States in February 2007. Certain additional process and manufacturing patent protection remains. Our new formulation of ZOSYN was approved by the FDA in 2005 and has additional patent protection extending to 2023. We believe that the timing and impact of generic competition for ZOSYN in the United States will depend, among other factors, upon the timing and nature of the FDA’s response to the citizen petitions filed by Wyeth and third parties regarding ZOSYN, which are discussed in greater detail in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements, “Contingencies and Commitments,” in our 2007 Financial Report. Generic competition for ZOSYN in the United States could occur at any time and likely would have a significant adverse impact on our sales of the product. Compound patent protection for ZOSYN (TAZOCIN internationally) expired in most major markets outside the United States in early July 2007. Accordingly, we are facing generic competition in some major markets outside the United States and may face generic competition in additional countries in the near future.

Additional analyses of the benefits and risks of hormone therapy in the treatment of menopausal symptoms continue to be published from time to time, including additional analyses of data from the Women’s Health Initiative. We continue to believe that hormone therapy remains a good health care choice for the appropriate woman seeking the relief of moderate to severe menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal atrophy, and the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis. We also believe the product labeling appropriately reflects the product profile. Nevertheless, it is uncertain what impact, if any, the publicity about risks discussed in prior or future publications will have on our sales of PREMARIN and PREMPRO and our hormone therapy litigation.

In October 2007, the FDA convened a joint meeting of the Pediatric and Nonprescription Drugs advisory committees to discuss the safety and efficacy of over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold products for use in children. The advisory committees recommended that these products no longer be used in children under the age of six. In January 2008, the FDA issued a Public Health Advisory recommending against the use of OTC cough and cold products in children under two years of age. The FDA has announced that it plans to issue recommendations with respect to the use of OTC cough and cold products in children two through 11 years of age. Sales of our ROBITUSSIN and DIMETAPP family of products could be adversely affected by these recommendations.

In addition, in December 2007, the FDA convened a meeting of the Nonprescription Drugs advisory committee to discuss the efficacy of the oral decongestant phenylephrine (PE), an ingredient used in several ROBITUSSIN and DIMETAPP products. The advisory committee concluded that available evidence was supportive of the efficacy of PE at 10 milligrams but recommended that additional studies be conducted on the efficacy of PE at 10 milligrams and the safety and efficacy of PE at higher doses. Depending on the FDA’s response to the advisory committee’s recommendations, sales of our ROBITUSSIN and DIMETAPP family of products could be adversely impacted.

As part of our business, we have made and will continue to make significant investments in assets, including inventory, plant and equipment, which relate to potential new products and potential changes in manufacturing processes or reformulations of existing products. Our ability to realize value on these investments is contingent on, among other things, regulatory approval and market acceptance of these new products, process changes and reformulations. In addition, several of our existing products are nearing the end of their compound patent terms. If we are unable to find alternative uses for the assets supporting these products, these assets may need to be evaluated for impairment and/or we may need to incur additional costs to convert these assets to an alternate use. Earlier than anticipated generic competition for these products also may result in excess inventory and associated charges.

Our Productivity Initiatives

In 2008, we continued our productivity initiatives by launching Project Impact, a company-wide program designed to initially address short-term fiscal challenges, particularly the significant loss of sales and profits resulting from the launch of generic versions of PROTONIX. Longer-term, Project Impact will include strategic actions designed to fundamentally change how we conduct business across the entire Company and to adapt to the continuously changing environment. See Note 5 to our consolidated condensed financial statements, “Productivity Initiatives,” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies are detailed in our 2007 Financial Report as incorporated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Other than the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting

Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS No. 157), as discussed in Note 4 to our consolidated condensed financial statements, “Fair Value Measurements,” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were no changes in our critical accounting policies from the year ended December 31, 2007.

Results of Operations

Net Revenue

Worldwide Net revenue increased 5% for the 2008 second quarter and 6% for the 2008 first half compared with the 2007 second quarter and 2007 first half, respectively. The increase in worldwide Net revenue was due to increases in net revenue in the Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Healthcare and Animal Health segments, reflecting in part the favorable impact of foreign exchange. International growth of 20% and 22% for the 2008 second quarter and first half, respectively, was driven primarily by increased volume and the favorable impact of foreign exchange. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange, worldwide Net revenue for the 2008 second quarter was comparable with the 2007 second quarter and increased 1% for the 2008 first half.

The following table sets forth worldwide Net revenue results by reportable segment together with the percentage changes from the comparable periods in the prior year:

Pharmaceuticals

Worldwide Pharmaceuticals net revenue increased 5% for the 2008 second quarter and first half due primarily to higher sales of ENBREL, EFFEXOR, PREVNAR, Nutrition products, ZOSYN, and BENEFIX and the favorable impact of foreign exchange. The increase in Pharmaceuticals net revenue was offset, in part, by lower sales of PROTONIX due to generic competition in the United States. ENBREL net revenue, outside the United States and Canada, increased 36% for the 2008 second quarter and first half due primarily to increased volume and the favorable impact of foreign exchange. ENBREL alliance revenue in the United States and Canada increased 6% and 23% for the 2008 second quarter and first half, respectively. The 2008 first half increase was due, in part, to a wholesaler inventory build in the 2008 first quarter, which reflects Amgen’s change to a new wholesaler distribution model. PREVNAR achieved a global net revenue increase of 9% and 12% for the 2008 second quarter and first half, respectively, due to price increases, increased volume and the favorable impact of foreign exchange. Price increases and the favorable impact of foreign exchange were the primary drivers for EFFEXOR net revenue increases of 5% and 9% for the 2008 second quarter and first half, respectively. The PREMARIN family of products net revenue increases of 1% and 8% for the 2008 second quarter and first half, respectively, were due to price increases. The increase in sales of BENEFIX of 89% and

69% for the 2008 second quarter and first half, respectively, was due to increased volume associated with the reacquisition of European product rights in the 2007 third quarter. Also contributing to net revenue growth were sales of our new products TYGACIL, TORISEL and PRISTIQ. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange, worldwide Pharmaceuticals net revenue for the 2008 second quarter and first half was comparable with the 2007 second quarter and first half.

Consumer Healthcare

Worldwide Consumer Healthcare net revenue increased 7% for the 2008 second quarter and 9% for the 2008 first half due primarily to an increase in sales of CENTRUM, ADVIL and CALTRATE and the favorable impact of foreign exchange. In addition, sales of CHAPSTICK contributed to the 2008 second quarter net revenue increase. These increases were partially offset by lower sales of ALAVERT and DIMETAPP. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange, worldwide Consumer Healthcare net revenue increased 2% for the 2008 second quarter and increased 3% for the 2008 first half.

In addition, in an effort to accelerate growth through strategic acquisitions, Consumer Healthcare announced in July it has agreed to purchase ThermaCare®, a leading over-the-counter heat wrap, from The Procter & Gamble Company. The transaction is expected to enhance Wyeth’s global position in pain management.

Animal Health

Worldwide Animal Health net revenue for the 2008 second quarter and first half increased 12% and 6%, respectively, due primarily to higher sales of poultry products and livestock products driven by ZULVAC bluetongue vaccine and the favorable impact of foreign exchange. Also contributing to the 2008 second quarter net revenue increase were higher sales of companion animal products, including PROMERIS flea and tick products. Partially offsetting these increases were lower sales of equine products. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange, worldwide Animal Health net revenue increased 7% for the 2008 second quarter, and the 2008 first half was comparable with the 2007 first half.

Sales Deductions

We deduct certain items from gross revenue that 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 $584.6 million for the 2008 second quarter and $1,161.1 million for the 2008 first half compared with $609.7 million for the 2007 second quarter and $1,282.6 million for the 2007 first half. The decrease in chargebacks/rebates was due primarily to lower managed care, Medicare Part D and wholesaler rebates as a result of decreased PROTONIX sales. 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.

Operating Expenses

Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of Net revenue, increased 1.2 percentage points to 28.3% for the 2008 second quarter compared with 27.1% for the 2007 second quarter and increased 0.5 percentage points to 27.8% for the 2008 first half compared with 27.3% for the 2007 first half. The overall increase in cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net revenue, was due primarily to an increase in Pharmaceuticals cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net revenue, of 1.2 and 0.3 percentage points for the 2008 second quarter and first half, respectively. The increase in Pharmaceuticals cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net revenue, was due primarily to increased third-party management fees associated with our generic version of PROTONIX, one-time charges related to certain inventory and asset write-downs, as well as pre-operating expenses associated with our 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. The 2008 second quarter also was impacted by increased productivity initiatives charges, which are recorded in the Corporate segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of Net revenue, increased 0.9 percentage points to 30.8% in the 2008 second quarter from 29.9% in the 2007 second quarter and increased 1.4 percentage points to 30.5% in the 2008 first half from 29.1% in the 2007 first half. The 2008 second quarter and first half increases were primarily due to increased charges associated with our productivity initiatives, as well as the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. Also impacting the increases were higher general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, due to increased legal expenses. The increases were partially offset by lower marketing expenses related to PROTONIX and the PREMARIN family of products.

Research and development expenses increased 1% for the 2008 second quarter and 6% for the 2008 first half compared with the 2007 second quarter and first half. The 2008 second quarter and first half increases were primarily due to higher spending on various late-stage clinical programs, including our 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; and higher charges related to our productivity initiatives.

Other income, net decreased $46.0 million and $2.2 million for the 2008 second quarter and first half, respectively, primarily due to losses on foreign exchange hedging contracts and lower gains on product divestitures offset, in part, by higher royalty income, which included the receipt of a one-time royalty milestone payment of $60.0 million related to the previously divested SYNVISC product line, and a net gain in the 2008 first quarter on the sale of a manufacturing facility in Japan.

Worldwide Pharmaceuticals income before income taxes for the 2008 second quarter and 2008 first half increased 6% and 5%, respectively, due primarily to higher net revenue and lower selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, offset, in part, by higher cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net revenue, and lower other income, net.

Worldwide Consumer Healthcare income before income taxes for the 2008 second quarter and 2008 first half increased 14% and 16%, respectively, due primarily to higher net revenue, lower selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, and lower research and development expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, offset, in part, by higher cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net revenue.

Worldwide Animal Health income before income taxes for the 2008 second quarter increased 2% due primarily to higher net revenue and lower cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net revenue, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, and lower other income, net. Worldwide Animal Health income before taxes for the 2008 first half decreased 1% due primarily to higher selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, and lower other income, net, offset, in part, by higher net revenue and lower cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net revenue.

Corporate expenses, net for the 2008 second quarter and 2008 first half were $312.4 million and $432.7 million, respectively, compared with $95.2 million and $146.0 million for the 2007 second quarter and first half. The increase in Corporate expenses, net, resulted from higher general and administrative expenses related to our productivity initiatives charges.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates were 30.7% and 31.3% for the 2008 second quarter and first half, respectively, compared with 30.1% and 29.1% for the 2007 second quarter and first half, respectively. The tax rate for the 2008 first half does not include any benefit from the U.S. Research and Development Tax Credit, which expired in December 2007.

Consolidated Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share Results

Net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2008 second quarter were $1,122.1 million and $0.83, respectively, compared with net income and diluted earnings per share of $1,198.5 million and $0.87 for the 2007 second quarter, decreasing 6% and 5%, respectively. Net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2008 first half were $2,319.0 million and $1.72, respectively, compared with net income and diluted earnings per share of $2,452.6 million and $1.79 for the 2007 first half, decreasing 5% and 4%, 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 2008 and 2007 second quarter and first half results of operations are impacted by the following items that are included in net income and diluted earnings per share:

 

  ·  

2008 second quarter charges of $155.2 million ($110.5 million after-tax or $0.08 per share-diluted) and 2008 first half net charges of $236.2 million ($180.1 million after-tax or $0.13 per share-diluted) related to our productivity initiatives.

 

  ·  

2007 second quarter charges of $49.8 million ($37.0 million after-tax or $0.03 per share-diluted) and 2007 first half charges of $92.4 million ($66.5 million after-tax or $0.05 per share-diluted) related to our productivity initiatives.

The productivity initiatives charges have been identified as significant items by our management as these charges are not considered to be indicative of continuing operating results.

Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our cash and cash equivalents decreased $71.2 million during the 2008 first half. Sources of cash flows during the 2008 first half related primarily to the following items:

 

  ·  

Net increase in cash from operating activities of $1,871.7 million;

 

  ·  

Proceeds of $856.9 million related to the sales and maturities of marketable securities; and

  ·  

Proceeds of $146.7 million related to sales of assets primarily due to the sale of a manufacturing facility in Japan.

These sources of cash were offset by the following items:

 

  ·  

Purchases of $1,032.1 million of marketable securities;

 

  ·  

Payments of $888.7 million related to our diet drug litigation;

 

  ·  

Dividend payments of $747.6 million;

 

  ·  

Capital expenditures totaling $574.1 million;

 

  ·  

Purchases of Wyeth common stock for treasury totaling $392.9 million; and

 

  ·  

Repayments of debt totaling $300.0 million.

The increase in working capital of $677.6 million, which excludes the effect of foreign exchange, resulted primarily from decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and increases in accounts receivable offset, in part, by decreases in other current assets related to payments made in connection with our diet drug litigation.

Total Debt

At June 30, 2008, we had outstanding $11,470.2 million in total debt, which consisted of notes payable and other debt. Maturities of our obligations as of June 30, 2008 are set forth below:

We maintain a $3,000.0 million, five-year credit facility with a group of banks and financial institutions that matures in August 2012 and is extendable by one year on each of the first and second anniversary of the effective date with the consent of the lenders. On June 3, 2008, 60 days before the first anniversary of the effective date, we entered into an amendment to this facility. The amendment allows us the opportunity to request the first one-year extension option at anytime between June 2008 and June 2009 and the second one-year extension option at anytime between May 2009 and June 2010. The credit facility agreement requires us to maintain a ratio of consolidated adjusted indebtedness to adjusted capitalization not to exceed 60%. The proceeds from the credit facility may be used for our

general corporate and working capital requirements and for support of our commercial paper, if any. As of the date hereof, we have no borrowings outstanding under this facility, nor do we have any commercial paper outstanding that is supported by this facility.

Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of certain assets and liabilities (see Note 4 to our consolidated condensed financial statements, “Fair Value Measurements,” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). As discussed in Note 4, our use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities was not material, as it represented only 2% of total assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, liquidity or capital resources for the 2008 second quarter or first half, nor do we expect SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on our results of operations, liquidity or capital resources in future periods.

Other

On September 27, 2007, our Board of Directors approved an increase to our previously authorized share repurchase program, which, inclusive of approximately $1.2 billion in repurchases already executed in 2007 as of that date, authorizes us to buy back up to $5.0 billion of our common stock. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time. We intend to fund the share repurchase program with cash from operations.

Except for the California Franchise Tax Board, where we have filed protests for the 1996-2003 tax years, taxing authorities generally are reviewing our tax returns for post-2001 tax years, including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which has begun its audit of our tax returns for the 2002-2005 tax years. As part of this audit, the IRS is examining the pricing of our cross-border arrangements. While we believe that the pricing of these arrangements is appropriate and that our reserves are adequate with respect to such pricing, it is possible that the IRS will propose adjustments in excess of such reserves and that conclusion of the audit will result in adjustments in excess of such reserves. An unfavorable resolution for open tax years could have a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows in the period in which an adjustment is recorded and in future periods. We believe that an unfavorable resolution for open tax years would not be material to our financial position; however, each year, we record significant tax benefits with respect to our cross-border arrangements, and the possibility of a resolution that is material to our financial position cannot be excluded.

As more fully described in Note 8 to the consolidated condensed financial statements, “Contingencies and Commitments,” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 2007 Financial Report as incorporated in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the 2008 First Quarter, we are involved in various legal proceedings. We intend to vigorously defend ourself and our products in these litigations and believe our legal positions are strong. However, from time to time, we may settle or decide no longer to pursue

particular litigation as we deem advisable. In light of the circumstances discussed therein, it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, and, therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings could be material to our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The market risk disclosures appearing on page 68 of our 2007 Financial Report as incorporated by reference in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K have not materially changed from December 31, 2007. At June 30, 2008, the fair values of our financial instruments were as follows:

 

     Notional/
Contract
Amount
   Assets (Liabilities)  

(In millions)

Description

      Carrying
Value
    Fair
Value
 

Forward contracts(1)

   $3,775.9    $(18.9 )   $(18.9 )

Option contracts(1)

   1,796.8    (19.9 )   (19.9 )

Interest rate swaps(2)

   5,303.8    152.8     152.8  

 

  (1) The forward and option contracts are primarily related to the Company’s programs to manage its exposure to intercompany and third-party foreign currency risk. 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 contracts and option contracts would collectively decrease or increase by approximately $337.4.

 

  (2) Interest rate swaps notional/contract amount includes $5,000.0 related to outstanding debt.

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, 2008. The carrying value of our outstanding debt as of June 30, 2008 approximates fair value. 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 $788.0 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2008, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2008.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the 2008 second quarter, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
