PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

     Pfizer Inc. (which may be referred to as Pfizer, the Company, we, us or our) is a research-based, global pharmaceutical company. We discover, develop, manufacture and market leading prescription medicines for humans and animals as well as many of the world’s best-known over-the-counter products.

     The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 2, 1942.

     In July 2002, we entered into an agreement to acquire Pharmacia Corporation. See Proposed Acquisition of Pharmacia Corporation below.

     In late 2002 and early 2003, we sold the Tetra fish-care products business and entered into agreements to sell the Adams confectionery products business and the Schick-Wilkinson Sword shaving products business, all of which formerly were part of our Consumer Products segment. In early 2003, we also entered into an agreement to sell certain of our women’s health product lines (femhrt hormone-replacement therapy and Loestrin and Estrostep contraceptives), which formerly were part of our Pharmaceutical segment. All of these divested or to-be-divested businesses and product lines are reflected as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements for 2002, 2001 and 2000 and in this 2002 Form 10-K. See Discontinued Operations below.

     On June 19, 2000, we completed our merger with Warner-Lambert Company (Warner-Lambert). We issued approximately 2.44 billion shares of common stock in exchange for all the outstanding common stock of Warner-Lambert. The merger qualified as a tax-free reorganization and was accounted for as a pooling of interests. We restated all consolidated financial statements of Pfizer for periods prior to the merger to include the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Warner-Lambert as if we had always been merged.

Pfizer Website

Business Segments

    We operate in two business segments:
 
  Pharmaceutical, which includes
 
-   prescription pharmaceuticals for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, central nervous system disorders, diabetes, arthritis, urogenital conditions, allergies and other disorders;
 
-   products for livestock and companion animals; and
 
-   the manufacture of empty soft-gelatin capsules.
 
  Consumer Products, which includes self-medications for oral care, upper respiratory health, eye care, skin care, gastrointestinal health and other products.

     Comparative segment revenues, profits and related financial information for 2002, 2001 and 2000 are presented in the table captioned Segment in Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements, Segment, Geographic and Revenue Information, on page 65 of our 2002 Annual Report. Tables captioned Percentage Change in Revenues and Percentage Change in Geographic Revenues on page 31 of our 2002 Annual Report present additional segment information. The information from those sections of our 2002 Annual Report is incorporated by reference in this 2002 Form 10-K.

     Our businesses are heavily regulated in most of the countries where we operate. In the U.S., the main regulatory authority we deal with is the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA regulates the safety and efficacy of the products we offer, our research quality, our manufacturing processes and our promotion and advertising. Similar government authorities exist in most other countries, and in many cases also regulate our prices. See Government Regulation and Price Constraints below.

Pharmaceutical Segment

     Our Pharmaceutical segment includes our human pharmaceutical and animal health businesses, as well as Capsugel, a capsule- manufacturing business.

Human Pharmaceutical

     Most of our human pharmaceutical revenues come from products in three major therapeutic classes: cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases and central nervous system disorders. We also have products for the treatment of diabetes, urogenital conditions, allergies and other disorders, as well as copromoted products for arthritis, acute pain and menstrual pain. In 2002, human pharmaceutical revenues increased 12%, to $28.3 billion. Human pharmaceutical revenues contributed 87% of our revenues in each of 2002 and 2001 and 86% in 2000. We marketed ten human pharmaceutical products, including our copromoted products Celebrex and Aricept, with sales to third parties exceeding $1 billion each in 2002. Those ten products — Lipitor, Norvasc, Zoloft, Neurontin, Celebrex, Viagra, Zithromax, Zyrtec, Diflucan and Aricept — represented 85% of human pharmaceutical revenues and grew at a combined rate of 15% in 2002. A table captioned Revenues — Major Human Pharmaceutical Products on page 31 of our 2002 Annual Report is incorporated by reference.

     Cardiovascular disease products that treat problems affecting the heart and the blood circulatory system make up our largest therapeutic product line. Lipitor, our largest-selling product, is for treatment of high lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides) in the bloodstream. It is the largest-selling prescription drug of any kind in the world. In 2002, the FDA approved two new starting doses of Liptor, enabling physicians to better tailor therapy individually across a broad range of patients. Norvasc is a once-a-day medication for hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (heart pain). It is the largest-selling high blood pressure and heart pain medicine in the world. Our other cardiovascular products include Cardura and Accupril/Accuretic. Cardura is used to treat hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate gland). Accupril/Accuretic is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor for hypertension and congestive heart failure.

     In the infectious disease medicine category, our major products include Zithromax, Diflucan and Viracept. Zithromax, an oral or injectable antibiotic, is the second-largest-selling antibiotic worldwide and the most-prescribed, brand-name, oral antibiotic in the U.S. In 2002, we launched the

2

new Zithromax Tri-Pak dosage form, the first and only three-day regimen for the treatment of acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Zithromax is licensed exclusively to us by Pliva, a Croatian pharmaceutical company. Diflucan is the world’s leading systemic antifungal. It is used to treat various fungal infections, including vaginal infections and certain infections that afflict HIV/AIDS and cancer patients with weakened immune systems. Complementing Diflucan is Vfend, a treatment that can be administered orally or intravenously for certain serious and potentially fatal fungal infections. Vfend was launched in the U.S. in July 2002 and in Europe during the latter part of the year. Viracept is the largest-selling protease inhibitor in the U.S., used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs for treatment of HIV/AIDS infections. We market Viracept in the U.S. and Canada.

     Our major products for treatment of central nervous system disorders include Zoloft, Neurontin and Geodon and the copromoted product Aricept. Zoloft is the most-prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor in the U.S. and a leading medicine worldwide for the treatment of depression, panic disorder, obsessive/compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and acute and long-term treatment for social anxiety disorder (for which it was approved in February 2003). Neurontin is a leading epilepsy medicine, approved as an add-on therapy with other anti-epileptic medications to treat partial seizures in patients over three years of age. It also is approved in more than 60 markets for the treatment of neuropathic pain. In 2002, Neurontin became the first oral medication approved in the U.S. to treat post-herpetic neuralgia, a persistent, painful condition that afflicts many people in the aftermath of shingles. Geodon (known as Zeldox in many markets outside the U.S.) is for the treatment of symptoms associated with schizophrenia. In 2002, we launched an intramuscular formulation of Geodon, used to treat agitated or hospitalized patients, in the U.S. Aricept, discovered and developed by Eisai Co., Ltd., is the world’s leading medicine to treat symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. We copromote Aricept with Eisai in the U.S. and several other countries and have an exclusive license to sell the drug in various other countries. Our other products for central nervous system disorders include Relpax and the copromoted product Rebif. Relpax, an oral treatment for acute migraine headaches, is marketed throughout Europe and in Japan. It was approved in the U.S. in December 2002 and launched in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2003. Rebif, discovered and developed by Serono S.A., is used to treat symptoms of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. In 2002, we entered into an agreement with Serono to copromote Rebif in the U.S.

     Viagra, our medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, is the most widely prescribed medication in the world for the treatment of this condition.

     We copromote two medicines for the treatment of arthritis and certain other conditions, Celebrex and Bextra, with Pharmacia Corporation, which discovered and developed the drugs. Celebrex is used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, acute pain, menstrual pain and familial adenomatous polyposis. Bextra was launched in the U.S. in 2002 for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and menstrual pain. During 2002, regulatory authorities adopted a positive opinion for granting market authorization for Bextra in the European Union and, subject to receiving final approval, launch is planned in Europe for 2003.

     Zyrtec is used for the treatment of year-round indoor and seasonal outdoor allergies and hives. It is indicated for use in children as young as six months old. Zyrtec syrup is the most-prescribed antihistamine syrup in the U.S., and Zyrtec-D 12 Hour is the only prescription oral antihistamine/decongestant combination medicine approved to treat both year-round indoor and outdoor allergies as well as nasal congestion. Zyrtec is licensed to us by the Belgian company UCB S.A. We copromote Zyrtec as a prescription medicine in the U.S. with a subsidiary of UCB S.A., and we have a license to sell Zyrtec as an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine in Canada, Europe, Australia and South Africa.

     Glucotrol XL is used to treat diabetes. It is an oral medicine that stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin.

     Spiriva is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a respiratory disorder

3


Table of Contents

that includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. We copromote Spiriva with Boehringer Ingelheim, which discovered and developed the drug. It was launched in Europe in 2002 and in Canada in January 2003. In December 2002, Spiriva received an approvable letter from the FDA for the long-term, once-daily maintenance treatment of bronchospasm associated with COPD.

Animal Health

     Our Animal Health business discovers, develops and sells products for the prevention and treatment of diseases in livestock and companion animals. Animal Health revenues accounted for 4% of our revenues in each of 2002, 2001 and 2000. In 2002, Animal Health revenues increased 10%, to $1.1 billion.

     Among the products we market are parasiticides, anti-inflammatories, vaccines, antibiotics and related medicines for livestock and companion animals, including the products discussed below.

     Parasiticides constitute the largest segment of the companion animal market, consisting mainly of medicines for external parasites, such as fleas, and heartworm preventatives. Our product Revolution is the first FDA-approved topical medicine that protects against fleas and heartworm in a simple, once-a-month administration.

     Rimadyl relieves pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, a condition that afflicts about 20% of adult dogs. Rimadyl is the only arthritis pain medication prescribed by veterinarians available in chewable tablets as well as regular caplets.

     RespiSure/Stellamune is a single-dose vaccine used to treat pneumonia in swine.

     Dectomax injectable and pour-on formulations remove and control internal and external parasites in beef cattle.

Capsugel

     Capsugel is the world’s largest producer of two-piece capsules used in manufacturing prescription and OTC pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements. Capsugel’s sales accounted for about 1% of our revenues in each of 2002, 2001 and 2000. In 2002, Capsugel’s revenues increased 6%, to $436 million.

Consumer Products Segment

     Our Consumer Products segment consists of our Consumer Healthcare business (CHC), one of the world’s largest suppliers of OTC medicines.

     CHC markets many of the world’s best-known consumer healthcare brands. Sales of CHC accounted for 8% of our revenues in each of 2002 and 2001 and 9% of our revenues in 2000. In 2002, revenues of CHC increased 7%, to $2.5 billion.

     CHC’s products compete primarily in the oral care, upper respiratory health, eye care, skin care and gastrointestinal health categories. CHC’s principal products include:

  Listerine mouthwash
 
  Listerine PocketPaks oral care strips
 
  Benadryl antihistamine for allergies
 
  Sudafed for sinus congestion
 
  Zantac 75 for prevention and relief of heartburn
 
  Rolaids antacid tablets
 
  Efferdent denture cleaner
 
  Neosporin antibiotic ointment
 
  Visine eye drops
 
  BenGay topical analgesic
 
  Cortizone skin care products
 
  Lubriderm moisturizing lotions
 
  Unisom sleep aids
 
  Desitin ointments for treatment of diaper rash

     CHC can extend the life of some of our prescription medications by converting them to OTC medications. For example, an OTC formulation of Diflucan, known as Diflucan One, is sold in the U.K. as a treatment for vaginal candidiasis. Similarly, Zyrtec is sold as an OTC product in certain markets outside the U.S. As market conditions permit, and when we have necessary approval from drug regulatory authorities, we plan to pursue similar launches for other products.

Discontinued Operations

     We sold or are in the process of selling the following businesses and product lines that do not fit our strategic goals:

  In December 2002, we sold the Tetra fish-care products business, formerly part of our Consumer Products segment, for $238.5 million in cash.
 
  In December 2002, we entered into an agreement to sell the Adams confectionery products business, formerly part of our Consumer Products segment, for $4.2 billion in cash.
 
  In January 2003, we entered into an agreement to sell the Schick-Wilkinson Sword business, formerly part of our Consumer Products segment, for $930 million in cash.
 
  In March 2003, we entered into an agreement to sell certain of our women’s health product lines (femhrt hormone-replacement therapy and Loestrin and Estrostep contraceptives), formerly part of our Pharmaceutical segment. The sale price is $359 million in cash, with an additional cash payment of up to $125 million contingent on femhrt and Estrostep retaining market exclusivity until the expiration of their respective patents.

     The divestitures of the Adams and Schick-Wilkinson Sword businesses and the women’s health product lines are expected to close in the first half of 2003 and are subject to the usual regulatory approvals.

     Certain financial information relating to these divested or to-be-divested businesses and product lines is set forth in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements, Discontinued Operations, on page 51 of our 2002 Annual Report. That information is incorporated by reference.

Research and Product Development

     Innovation by our research and development operations is very important to the Company’s success. Our goal is to discover, develop and bring to market innovative products that address major unmet medical needs. This goal has been supported by our substantial research and development investments. We spent $5.2 billion in 2002, $4.8 billion in 2001 and $4.4 billion in 2000 on research and development.

     We conduct research internally, and also through contracts with third parties, through collaborations with universities and biotechnology companies and in cooperation with other pharmaceutical firms. We also seek out innovative technologies developed by third parties to acquire or incorporate into our discovery or development processes or projects as well as our product lines through licensing or other arrangements.

     Drug discovery and development is time consuming, expensive and unpredictable. On average, only one out of many thousands of chemical compounds discovered by researchers proves to be both medically effective and safe enough to become an approved medicine. The process from discovery to development to regulatory approval can take more than ten years. Drug candidates can fail at any stage of the process. Candidates may not receive regulatory approval even after many years of research.

     We believe that our investments in research have been rewarded by the number of pharmaceutical compounds and new therapies we have in all stages of development; we currently are working on more than 160 projects in development and several hundred projects in discovery research. In recent years, our discovery scientists have delivered dozens of new chemical compounds to early development. While these new candidates may or may not eventually receive regulatory approval, new drug candidates entering development are the foundation for future products.

     In addition to discovering and developing new products, our research operations add value to our existing products by improving their effectiveness and by discovering new uses for them. In February 2003, for example, the FDA approved the additional use of Zoloft for the treatment of social anxiety disorder.

     Information concerning several of our drug candidates in development as well as supplemental filings for existing products is set forth under the heading Product Developments on pages 33 and 34 of our 2002 Annual Report. That information is incorporated by reference. In February 2003, we submitted an application to the European Medicines Evaluation Agency for approval of our developmental compound pregabalin for the treatment of neuropathic pain and for use with other medications in the treatment of epilepsy. We expect to submit an application to the FDA for the use of pregabalin for those conditions, as well as for generalized anxiety disorder, later this year.

     Our competitors also devote substantial funds and resources to research and development. In addition, the consolidation that has occurred in our

5


Table of Contents

industry has created companies with substantial research and development resources. The extent to which our competitors are successful in their research could result in erosion of the sales of our products and unanticipated product obsolescence.

International Operations

     We have significant operations outside the United States. They are conducted both through our subsidiaries and through distributors, and involve the same business segments — pharmaceutical and consumer products — as our U.S. operations.

     Revenues from operations outside the U.S. of $11.6 billion accounted for 35.9% of our total revenues in 2002. Revenues exceeded $500 million in each of seven countries outside the U.S. in 2002. No single country outside the U.S. contributed more than 10% of our total revenues. Japan is our second-largest national market, with 6.1% of our revenues in 2002, 6.2% in 2001 and 6.6% in 2000.

     For a geographic breakdown of revenues and changes in revenues, see the table captioned Geographic in Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements, Segment, Geographic and Revenue Information, on page 65 of our 2002 Annual Report and the table captioned Percentage Change in Geographic Revenues on page 31 of our 2002 Annual Report. Those tables are incorporated by reference.

     Our international businesses are subject, in varying degrees, to a number of risks inherent in carrying on business in other countries. These include

     •     currency fluctuations

     •     capital and exchange control regulations

     •     expropriation and nationalization

     •     other restrictive government actions

Our international businesses are also subject to government-imposed constraints, including laws on pricing or reimbursement for use of products. See Government Regulation and Price Constraints below for discussion of these matters.

     Depending on the direction of change relative to the U.S. dollar, foreign currency values can increase or reduce the reported dollar value of our net assets and results of operations. In 2002, foreign exchange had a nominal impact on revenues. While we cannot predict with certainty future changes in foreign exchange rates or the effect they will have on us, we attempt to mitigate their impact through operational means and by using various financial instruments. See the discussion under Note 6-D to our consolidated financial statements, Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities, on pages 53 and 54 of our 2002 Annual Report. That discussion is incorporated by reference. Related information about valuation and risks associated with such financial instruments in parts E and F of that same Note is also incorporated by reference.

Marketing

     In our global pharmaceutical business, we promote our products to health care providers such as doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, hospitals, Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) and government agencies. We also market directly to consumers in the United States through direct-to-consumer print and television advertising. In addition, we sponsor general advertising to educate the public about our innovative medical research.

     Our operations include several pharmaceutical sales organizations. Each sales organization markets a distinct group of products. Our prescription pharmaceutical products are sold principally to wholesalers, but we also sell directly to retailers, hospitals, clinics, government agencies and pharmacies.

     Through our marketing organizations, we explain the approved uses and advantages of our products to medical professionals. We work to gain access to health authority, PBM and MCO formularies (lists of recommended or approved medicines and other products) and reimbursement lists by demonstrating the qualities and treatment benefits of our products. We also work with MCOs and PBMs to assist them with disease management, patient education and other tools that help their medical treatment routines. For example, we sponsor a program offered by the State of Florida Agency for Health Care Administration that is designed to help manage chronic diseases among Florida’s Medicaid population.

     Marketing of prescription pharmaceuticals depends to a degree on complex decisions about the scope of clinical trials made years before product approval. All drugs must complete clinical trials required by regulatory authorities to show they are safe and effective for treating one or more medical problems. A manufacturer may choose, however, to undertake additional studies, including comparative clinical trials with competitive products, to demonstrate additional advantages of a compound. Those studies can be costly and take years to complete, and the results are uncertain. Balancing these considerations makes it difficult to decide whether and when to undertake such additional studies. But, when they are successful, such studies can have a major impact on approved marketing claims and strategies.

     Separate sales organizations are used by our Animal Health business to promote its products. Its advertising and promotion are generally targeted to health professionals, directly and through medical journals. Animal health and nutrition products are sold through veterinarians, drug wholesalers, distributors and retail outlets as well as directly to users. Where appropriate, these products are also marketed through print and television advertising.

     Our CHC business primarily uses its own representatives to directly promote its products. We also use print and television consumer advertising and offer sales incentives such as coupons to promote our consumer products. These products are sold through various retailers. CHC also markets and advertises certain products directly to professionals using a professional detail force.

     During 2002, sales to our three largest pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare products wholesalers were as follows:

  McKesson, Inc. — 16.8% of our revenues;
 
  AmerisourceBergen Corporation — 14.8% of our revenues; and
 
  Cardinal Health, Inc. — 13.4% of our revenues.

     Sales to these wholesalers were concentrated in the Pharmaceutical segment. Apart from these instances, neither of our business segments is dependent on any one customer or group of related customers.

Patents and Intellectual Property Rights

     Our products are sold around the world under brand-name, logo and certain product design trademarks that we consider in the aggregate to be of material importance. Trademark protection continues in some countries for as long as the mark is used and, in other countries, for as long as it is registered. Registrations generally are for fixed, but renewable, terms.

     We own or license a number of U.S. and foreign patents. These patents cover

  pharmaceutical and other products and their uses
 
  pharmaceutical formulations
 
  product manufacturing processes
 
  intermediate chemical compounds used in manufacturing

     Patents for individual products extend for varying periods according to the date of patent filing or grant and the legal term of patents in the various countries where patent protection is obtained. The actual protection afforded by a patent, which can vary from country to country, depends upon the type of patent, the scope of its coverage and the availability of legal remedies in the country.

     In the aggregate, our patent and related rights are of material importance to our businesses in the United States and most other countries. Based on current product sales, and considering the vigorous competition with products sold by others, the patent rights we consider significant in relation to our business as a whole, together with the year in which the basic U.S. patent expires (including, where applicable, the additional six-month pediatric exclusivity period), are those for the following drugs:

     In some instances, there are later-expiring patents relating to these products directed to particular forms or compositions of the drug or to methods of manufacturing or using the drug in the treatment of further diseases or conditions. Such patents may not protect the Company’s drug from generic drug competition after the expiration of the basic patent.

     Zithromax is patented by Pliva, a Croatian pharmaceutical company. The drug is licensed exclusively to us by Pliva for sales and marketing in major countries, and we purchase the compound in bulk crude form from Pliva.

     Celebrex is patented by Pharmacia Corporation, with whom we copromote Celebrex in all world markets except Japan. An action against Pharmacia and the Company alleging patent infringement with respect to the sale of Celebrex (as well as Bextra) was dismissed on March 5, 2003. The plaintiff in that action has appealed the decision.

     Zyrtec is patented by the Belgian company UCB S.A. and is licensed to us for sales in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia and South Africa. We copromote Zyrtec as a prescription medicine in the U.S. with a subsidiary of UCB S.A. and have a license to sell Zyrtec as an OTC medicine in the other markets.

     Aricept is patented by Eisai Co., Ltd. We copromote Aricept with Eisai in the U.S. and several other countries and have an exclusive license to sell the drug in various other countries.

     The basic U.S. patents relating to Neurontin expired in 1994 and 2000. However, in April 2000, a U.S. patent was granted relating to stable pharmaceutical compositions of Neurontin containing low levels of lactam impurity. This patent expires in 2017. Other companies have filed applications with the FDA seeking approval of products that we believe infringe this patent.

     In addition, other companies have filed applications with the FDA seeking approval of products that we believe infringe our patents covering, among other products, Lipitor, Norvasc, Zoloft, Diflucan, Accupril and Procardia XL. In the case of Zoloft, while generic manufacturers are challenging certain of our patents, the outcome of these challenges will not affect the timing of generic competition with this product due to the existence of additional patents.

     We have other patent rights covering additional products that have lesser revenues.

     The expiration of a product patent or loss of patent protection resulting from a legal challenge normally results in significant competition from generic products against the covered product and, particularly in the U.S., can result in a significant reduction in sales of the pioneer product. In some cases, however, we can continue to obtain commercial benefits from

•     product manufacturing trade secrets

•     patents on uses for products

•     patents on processes and intermediates for the economical manufacture of the active ingredients

•     patents for special formulations of the product or delivery mechanisms

•     conversion of the active ingredient to OTC products

     The effect of product patent expiration or loss also depends upon

•     the nature of the market and the position of the product in it

•     the growth of the market

•     the complexities and economics of manufacture of the product

•     the requirements of generic drug laws

     One of the main limitations on our operations in some countries outside the U.S. is the lack of effective intellectual property protection of our products. Under international agreements in recent years, global protection of intellectual property rights is improving. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade requires participant countries to amend their intellectual property laws to provide patent protection for pharmaceutical products by the end of a ten-year transition period. A number

of countries are doing this. We have experienced significant growth in our businesses in some of those nations, and our continued business expansion in those countries depends to a large degree on further patent protection improvement.

     See Item 3, Legal Proceedings, below.

Competition

     Competition is intense in all of our businesses and includes many large and small competitors.

     The principal means of competition vary among product categories and business groups. Technological innovations affecting

  efficacy
 
  safety
 
  patients’ ease of use
 
  cost effectiveness

are important to success in all of our businesses.

     Our businesses also focus on unmet medical needs and therapeutic improvements. Our emphasis on innovation has led to our multi-billion-dollar research and development investments over the past decade.

     Our human pharmaceutical business competes with other worldwide research-based drug companies, many smaller research companies with more limited therapeutic focus and generic drug manufacturers. Our pharmaceutical operations are the largest in the world.

     In recent years, a comparison of the total cost of medical treatments using pharmaceuticals versus alternative treatments for the same condition has become an important basis of competition. MCOs and PBMs look to cost advantages as well as medical benefits in making their drug formulary decisions.

     Our pharmaceutical sales and marketing organization is a valuable competitive asset. Our salespeople’s ability to reach medical professionals with information about our products helps us respond to competitive efforts and launch new products.

     We have a significant presence in the animal health marketplace, but many other companies offer competitive products. Altogether, there are hundreds of producers of animal health products throughout the world. The principal methods of competition vary somewhat depending on the particular product. They include

  product innovation
 
  service
 
  price
 
  quality
 
  effective promotion to veterinary professionals and consumers

We promote our products directly through our sales representatives as well as through advertising.

     Many other companies, large and small, manufacture and sell one or more products that are similar to our consumer healthcare products. Sources of competitive advantage include

  product quality and efficacy
 
  brand identity
 
  advertising and promotion
 
  product innovation
 
  broad distribution capabilities
 
  customer satisfaction
 
  price

Significant expenditures for advertising, promotion and marketing are generally required to achieve both consumer and trade acceptance of consumer products.

     In the current environment of competitive pressures on profit margins, we continue efforts to control the growth of our expenses. We have kept our costs down in areas such as manufacturing, distribution and sales administration by restructuring and consolidating facilities. These measures have brought us new efficiencies and reduced or contained our operating expenses.

Managed Care Organizations

     The growth of MCOs in the U.S. has been a major factor in the competitive make-up of the health care marketplace. Over half the U.S. population now participates in some version of managed care. Because of the size of the patient population covered by MCOs, marketing of prescription drugs to them and the PBMs that serve many of those organizations has become important to our business.

     MCOs can include medical insurance companies, medical plan administrators, health-

9


Table of Contents

maintenance organizations, alliances of hospitals and physicians and other physician organizations. The purchasing power of MCOs has been increasing in recent years due to their growing numbers of enrolled patients. At the same time, those organizations have been consolidating into fewer, even larger entities. This enhances their purchasing strength and importance to us.

     A major objective of MCOs is to contain and, where possible, reduce health care expenditures. They typically use formularies, volume purchases and long-term contracts to negotiate discounts from pharmaceutical providers. They use their purchasing power to bargain for lower supplier prices. They also emphasize primary and preventive care, out-patient treatment and procedures performed at doctors’ offices and clinics. Hospitalization and surgery, typically the most expensive forms of treatment, are carefully managed.

     As discussed above in Marketing, MCOs and PBMs typically develop formularies to reduce their cost for medications. Formularies can be based on the prices and therapeutic benefits of the available products. Due to their generally lower cost, generic medicines are often favored. The breadth of the products covered by formularies can vary considerably from one MCO to another, and many formularies include alternative and competitive products for treatment of particular medical problems. MCOs use a variety of means to encourage patients’ use of products listed on their formularies.

     Exclusion of a product from a formulary can lead to its sharply reduced usage in the MCO patient population. Consequently, pharmaceutical companies compete aggressively to have their products included. Where possible, companies compete for inclusion based upon unique features of their products, such as greater efficacy, better patient ease of use or fewer side effects. A lower overall cost of therapy is also an important factor. Products that demonstrate fewer therapeutic advantages must compete for inclusion based primarily on price.

     The growth of MCOs also appears to have led to greater usage of some drugs. The use of certain drugs can prevent the need for more costly treatments such as hospitalization, professional therapy or even surgery. Because of these advantages, such drugs can become favored first-line treatments. In addition, the current trend of some patients to opt for managed care alternatives to Medicare may increase overall pharmaceutical usage among that segment of the elderly population. Medicare generally does not pay for outpatient use of medicines, so patients who do not have another source of prescription drug coverage must bear that cost. MCOs, however, often offer drug benefits for their participants.

     These developments not only have created pressure on prices, but also have increased sales of products on formularies. We have been generally, although not universally, successful in having our major products included on MCO formularies.

     Another way we address the interests of MCOs is by developing disease-management programs. These programs can be attractive to MCOs by improving patient communications and compliance with dosage directions, which are important for effective disease treatment. They can help MCOs address various aspects of disease management, such as prevention, diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases, including use of pharmaceutical products. This comprehensive approach can improve the quality of care and lower costly complications of chronic diseases. As noted above in Marketing, one such program, which is sponsored by us and offered by the State of Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, is designed to help manage chronic diseases among Florida’s Medicaid population.

Generic Products

     One of the biggest competitive challenges that we face in the U.S. and that is growing internationally is from generic pharmaceutical manufacturers. Upon the expiration or loss of U.S. patent protection on a product, we can lose the major portion of U.S. sales of that product in a very short period. Generic competitors operate without our large research and development expenses and our costs of conveying medical information about the product to the medical community. In addition, the FDA approval process exempts generics from costly and time-consuming clinical trials to demonstrate their safety and efficacy, and allows generic manufacturers to rely on the safety and efficacy of the pioneer product. Generic products need only demonstrate a level of

10


Table of Contents

availability in the bloodstream equivalent to that of the pioneer product. This means that after we have borne the expenses of discovering, developing and testing a medicine for safety and efficacy, obtaining regulatory approval and informing the medical community about its therapeutic benefits, generic competitors can market a competing version of our product after the expiration of our patent, charge much less and still be profitable.

     As noted above, MCOs that focus primarily on the immediate cost of drugs often favor generics over brand-name drugs. Many governments also encourage the use of generics as alternatives to brand-name drugs in their health care programs, including Medicaid in the U.S. Laws in the U.S. generally allow, and in some cases require, pharmacists to substitute generic drugs that have been rated under government procedures to be therapeutically equivalent to a brand-name drug. The substitution must be made unless the prescribing physician expressly forbids it.

Raw Materials

     Raw materials essential to our businesses are purchased worldwide in the ordinary course of business from numerous suppliers. In general, these materials are available from multiple sources. No serious shortages or delays were encountered in 2002, and none are expected in 2003.

Government Regulation and Price Constraints

     Pharmaceutical companies are subject to extensive regulation by numerous national, state and local agencies. Of particular importance is the FDA in the United States. It has jurisdiction over virtually all of our businesses and administers requirements covering the testing, safety, effectiveness, manufacturing, labeling, marketing, advertising and post-marketing surveillance of our pharmaceutical products. FDA requirements and/or reviews have increased the amount of time and money necessary to develop new products and bring them to market.

     The FDA also regulates most of our consumer healthcare products and, along with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, our animal health products.

     Since 1998, the approval of new drugs across the European Union (EU) is possible only using the European Medicines Evaluation Agency’s (EMEA) mutual recognition or central approval processes. The use of either of these procedures provides a more rapid and consistent approval within the 15 member states than was the case when the approval processes were operating independently within each member state. Further, on January 1, 2000, Norway and Iceland became full participants in the EU central approval processes. In addition, the agreement between the EU and 12 other European states to base their approvals on the centralized EU approval will significantly speed the regulatory process in those countries. The EMEA does not have jurisdiction over patient reimbursement or pricing matters in EU member countries, however. We continue to deal with individual countries on such issues.

     In recent years in the U.S., various legislative proposals have been offered at the federal and state levels that would bring about major changes in the affected health care systems. Some states have passed such legislation, and further federal and state proposals are possible. Such proposals and legislation include, and future proposals could include, price controls or patient access constraints on medicines and increases in required rebates or discounts. Similar issues exist in many foreign countries where we do business. We cannot predict the outcome of such initiatives, but we will work to maintain patient access to our products and to oppose price constraints.

     In the U.S., federal proposals have called for substantial changes in the Medicare program, and federal and state proposals have called for substantial changes in the Medicaid program. Driven by budget concerns, Medicaid access and reimbursement restrictions have been implemented in some states and proposed in many others. If the Medicare and Medicaid programs implement changes that restrict the access of a significant population of patients to our innovative medicines, our business could be materially affected. On the other hand, relatively little pharmaceutical use is currently covered by Medicare. If changes to Medicare shift patients to MCOs that cover

11


Table of Contents

pharmaceuticals, or if an outpatient drug benefit is added to Medicare, usage of pharmaceuticals could increase. Pricing pressures likely would ensue in either case given the enhancement of the purchasing power of the MCOs or the federal government.

     Medicare currently does not generally provide outpatient prescription drug coverage. In this context, in order to help address the issue of affordable access to health care for those most in need, we instituted the Pfizer for Living Share Card program in 2002. Through this program, low-income Medicare recipients without prescription drug coverage can purchase 30-day prescriptions of any Pfizer prescription medicine and of the copromoted product Aricept at many retail pharmacies for $15.

     U.S. law requires us to give rebates to state Medicaid agencies based on each state’s reimbursement of pharmaceutical products under the Medicaid program. Some states are seeking rebates in excess of the amounts required by federal law, and there are federal legislative proposals to expand current Medicaid rebates. We also must give discounts or rebates on purchases or reimbursements of pharmaceutical products by certain other federal and state agencies and programs. In 2000 and 2001, the states of Vermont and Maine received approval of waivers from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that would expand Medicaid rebates beyond the current Medicaid population. Both of these waivers were struck down by federal appeals courts. Separately, in 2000 the state of Maine passed legislation requiring pharmaceutical companies to provide the same price discounts to residents of the state, regardless of their income, who are not eligible for Medicaid as are provided to Medicaid participants. If a pharmaceutical company declines to provide such discounts to the non-Medicaid population, in most cases doctors will not be allowed to prescribe that company’s drugs to Medicaid patients without obtaining prior authorization from the state. The Maine program was upheld by a federal appeals court in 2001. That decision has been appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, and a decision is expected later this year. If the Maine program is upheld on appeal, other states may adopt similar legislation that would extend Medicaid-level discounts beyond the current Medicaid population.

     Rebates potentially could be viewed as price discounts without appreciable increases in volume as an offset. See the discussion regarding rebates on page 32 of our 2002 Annual Report, which discussion is incorporated by reference.

     We encounter similar regulatory and legislative issues in most other countries. In Europe and some other international markets, the government provides health care at low direct cost to consumers and regulates pharmaceutical prices or patient reimbursement levels to control costs for the government-sponsored health care system. This international patchwork of price regulation has led to different prices and some third-party trade in our products from markets with lower prices. Such trade exploiting price differences between countries can undermine our sales in markets with higher prices.

     In October 2002, the Bush Administration announced a regulatory initiative relating to patent litigation pursuant to the 1984 Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act, known as the Hatch-Waxman Act. Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, if a generic drug company files an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) with the FDA and a research-based drug company promptly files a lawsuit alleging that the generic product would infringe one or more of its patents, approval of the ANDA by the FDA automatically is stayed for a period of up to 30 months. The proposed regulation would permit only one such 30-month stay period to be triggered by a patent-infringement suit between a research-based firm and an ANDA applicant. The proposed regulation also would clarify the type of patents eligible for listing in the FDA’s “Orange Book”. A final FDA regulation is anticipated this year. It also is possible that legislation amending the Hatch-Waxman Act could be enacted this year. One possible amendment would codify the Bush Administration’s regulatory initiative and also require that settlements in patent-challenge cases between research-based drug companies and generic drug companies be reported to the Federal Trade Commission. Other proposals that would be detrimental to the innovative pharmaceutical industry already have been introduced and could be enacted.

     In addition to the FDA, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Environmental

Table of Contents

Protection Agency, we are subject to the jurisdiction of various other regulatory and enforcement departments and agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice in the U.S. We are, therefore, subject to possible administrative and legal proceedings and actions by those regulatory bodies (see Item 3, Legal Proceedings, below). Such actions may include product recalls, seizures and other civil and criminal sanctions. In some cases, we have initiated product recalls voluntarily.

     It is difficult to predict the future impact of the broad and expanding legislative and regulatory requirements affecting us.

Environmental Law Compliance

     Most of our manufacturing and certain research operations are affected by federal, state and local environmental laws. We have made, and intend to continue to make, necessary expenditures for compliance with applicable laws. We also are cleaning up environmental contamination from past industrial activity at certain sites (see Item 3, Legal Proceedings, below). As a result, we incurred capital and operational expenditures in 2002 for environmental protection and clean-up of certain past industrial activity as follows:

  environment-related capital expenditures — $47 million ($2 million of which related to discontinued operations)
 
  other environment-related expenses — $146 million ($3 million of which related to discontinued operations)

     While we cannot predict with certainty the future costs of such clean-up activities, capital expenditures or operating costs for environmental compliance, we do not believe they will have a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

Banking and Insurance Subsidiaries

     We conduct international banking operations through a subsidiary, Pfizer International Bank Europe (PIBE), based in Dublin, Ireland. PIBE, incorporated under the laws of Ireland, operates under a banking license from the Central Bank of Ireland. It makes loans and accepts deposits in several currencies in international markets. PIBE is an active Euromarket lender to financially strong borrowers through its portfolio of loans and money market instruments. Loans are made primarily on a short- and medium-term basis, typically with floating interest rates.

     We also own an insurance operation, The Kodiak Company Limited, which reinsures certain assets, inland transport and marine cargo of our international operations.

     Financial data for these subsidiaries are set forth in Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements, Banking and Insurance Subsidiaries, on page 51 of our 2002 Annual Report, and information relating to our banking operations is set forth under the heading Banking Operation on pages 38 and 39 of our 2002 Annual Report. Such data and information are incorporated by reference.

Tax Matters

     The discussion of tax-related matters in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements, Taxes on Income, on pages 56 and 57 of our 2002 Annual Report is incorporated by reference.

Employees

     In our innovation-intensive business, our employees are vital to our success. We believe we have good relationships with our employees. As of December 31, 2002, we employed approximately 98,000 people in our operations throughout the world.

Proposed Acquisition of Pharmacia Corporation

     In July 2002, we entered into an agreement to acquire Pharmacia Corporation (Pharmacia), a global pharmaceutical company. Pharmacia’s human pharmaceuticals include primary care products (including Celebrex and Bextra, which we copromote with Pharmacia, and Detrol), opthalmology care products (including Xalatan), cancer care products (including Camptosar), endocrine care products (including Genotropin) and hospital care products. Pharmacia also

13


Table of Contents

operates several other businesses, including animal health and consumer healthcare businesses.

     In December 2002, shareholders of both Pfizer and Pharmacia approved the proposed acquisition. In February 2003, the European Commission approved the transaction. On March 17, 2003, we and Pharmacia announced that the companies have reached agreement with the staff of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on the divestitures that will be required in connection with the proposed acquisition and that the companies have agreements in place with buyers for all of the assets to be divested. The products and compounds to be divested are not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to Pfizer’s business or operations. On March 25, 2003, the companies announced that the FTC staff has completed its review and that a proposed Consent Decree will be forwarded to the FTC for acceptance and placement on the public record. Based on past FTC practice, Pfizer anticipates that this process will result in the closing of the transaction in April 2003.

     The proposed acquisition is a stock-for-stock transaction valued as of the merger agreement date at approximately $60 billion. Upon the closing, we will issue approximately two billion shares of Pfizer common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Pharmacia. In addition, we will exchange a newly created class of Pfizer convertible perpetual preferred stock (convertible into approximately 16 million shares of Pfizer common stock) for a substantially identical class of Pharmacia stock, and we will exchange options on 1.4 shares of Pfizer common stock for each outstanding Pharmacia option.

     See the information under the heading Proposed Acquisition of Pharmacia Corporation in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, Merger Activities, on page 50 of our 2002 Annual Report. Such information is incorporated by reference.

Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results

     (Cautionary Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995)

     Our disclosure and analysis in this report and in our 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders contain some forward-looking statements that set forth anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions. From time to time, we also provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public as well as oral forward-looking statements. Such statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events; they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results.

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

     We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our 10-Q and 8-K reports to the SEC. Also note that we provide the following cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and possibly inaccurate assumptions relevant to our businesses. These are factors that, individually or in the aggregate, we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider the following to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties.

•     Balancing current growth and investment for the future remains a major challenge. Our ongoing investments in new product introductions and research and development for future products could exceed corresponding sales growth. This could produce higher costs without a proportional increase in revenues.

•     In the U.S., many pharmaceutical products are subject to increasing pricing pressures, which could be significantly impacted by the outcome of the current national debate over Medicare reform. If the Medicare program provided outpatient pharmaceutical coverage for its beneficiaries, the federal government, through its enormous purchasing power under the program, could demand discounts from pharmaceutical companies that may implicitly create price controls on prescription drugs. On the other hand, a Medicare drug reimbursement provision may increase the volume of pharmaceutical drug purchases, offsetting at least in part these potential price discounts. In addition, MCOs, Medicaid and other government agencies continue to seek price discounts. Government efforts to reduce Medicare and Medicaid expenses may continue to increase the use of MCOs. This may result in managed care’s influencing prescription decisions for a larger segment of the population. In addition, certain states have proposed and certain other states have adopted various programs to control prices for their seniors’ drug programs, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, restrictions on access to certain products, importation from other countries and bulk purchasing of drugs.

     We encounter similar regulatory and legislative issues in most other countries. In Europe and some other international markets, the government provides health care at low direct cost to consumers and regulates pharmaceutical prices or patient reimbursement levels to control costs for the government-sponsored health care system. This international patchwork of price regulation has led to different prices and some third-party trade in our products from markets with lower prices. Such trade exploiting price differences between countries can undermine our sales in markets with higher prices.

     As a result, it is expected that pressures on the pricing component of operating results will continue.

•     35.9% of our 2002 revenues arose from international operations, including 6.1% from Japan. These international-based revenues as well as our substantial international assets expose our revenues and earnings to foreign currency exchange rate changes. In addition, our interest-bearing investments, loans and borrowings are subject to interest rate change risk. The risks of such changes and the measures we have taken to help contain those risks are discussed in the section entitled Financial Risk Management on pages 40 and 41 of our 2002 Annual Report. For additional details, see Note 6-D to our consolidated financial statements, Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities, on pages 53 and 54 of our 2002 Annual Report. Those sections of our 2002 Annual Report are incorporated by reference.

     Notwithstanding our efforts to foresee and mitigate the effects of changes in fiscal circumstances, we cannot predict with certainty changes in currency and interest rates, inflation or other related factors affecting our businesses.

•     Our international operations also could be affected by changes in intellectual property legal protections and remedies, trade regulations and procedures and actions affecting approval, production, pricing, reimbursement and marketing of products, as well as by unstable governments and legal systems, intergovernmental disputes and possible nationalization.

•     Competition from manufacturers of generic drugs is a major challenge in the U.S. and is growing internationally. Expiration or loss of patent protection typically leads to significant loss of sales in the U.S. market. The patents covering several of the Company’s medicines are being challenged by generic drug manufacturers.

•     Risks and uncertainties particularly apply with respect to product-related forward-looking statements. The outcome of the lengthy and complex process of identifying new compounds and developing new products is inherently

uncertain. There can be no assurance as to whether or when we will receive regulatory approval for new products or for new indications or dosage forms for existing products. There are also many considerations that can affect marketing of pharmaceutical products around the world. Regulatory delays, the inability to successfully complete clinical trials, claims and concerns about safety and efficacy, new discoveries, patent disputes and claims about adverse side effects are a few of the factors that could adversely affect the realization of research and development and product-related forward-looking statements.

•     As discussed above in Marketing, decisions about research studies made early in the development process of a drug candidate can have a substantial impact on the marketing strategy once the drug receives approval. More detailed studies may demonstrate additional benefits that can help in the marketing, but they consume time and resources and can delay submitting the drug candidate for initial approval. We try to plan clinical trials prudently, but there is no guarantee that a proper balance of speed and testing will be made in each case. The quality of our decisions in this area could affect our future results.

•     Difficulties or delays in product manufacturing or marketing, including, but not limited to, the inability to build up production capacity commensurate with demand, or the failure to predict market demand for, or to gain market acceptance of, approved products, could affect future results.

•     We currently market ten products with annual sales to third parties exceeding $1 billion each: Lipitor, Norvasc, Zoloft, Neurontin, Viagra, Zithromax, Zyrtec, Diflucan and our copromoted products Celebrex and Aricept. Those products accounted for almost three-quarters of our 2002 revenues. If these or any of our other major products were to become subject to a problem such as loss of patent protection, unexpected side effects, regulatory proceedings, publicity affecting doctor or patient confidence or pressure from competitive products, or if a new, more effective treatment should be introduced, the impact on our revenues could be significant. The patents covering Lipitor, Norvasc, Neurontin, Diflucan and Zoloft are the subject of pending legal challenges. An action alleging patent infringement with respect to the sale of Celebrex (as well as Bextra) was dismissed on March 5, 2003; the plaintiff in that action has appealed the decision.

•     We cannot predict with accuracy the timing or impact of the introduction of competitive products or their possible future effect on our sales. Products that compete with our drugs, including some of our best-selling medicines, are launched from time to time, and certain potentially competitive products are in various stages of development, some of which have been filed for approval with the FDA.

•     Growth in costs and expenses, changes in product mix and the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, product withdrawals and other unusual events that could result from evolving business strategies, evaluation of asset realization and organizational restructuring could affect future results. Such risks and uncertainties include, in particular, our ability to obtain the anticipated results and synergies from our proposed acquisition of Pharmacia and the increased uncertainty created by the integration of the two businesses as well as our ability to divest and the timing of the divestitures of our remaining discontinued businesses and product lines.

•     Our future results could be affected by changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, taxation requirements (including tax-rate changes, new tax laws and revised tax law interpretations), competition laws and environmental laws in the U.S. and other countries.

•     Our future results could be affected by changes in business, political and economic conditions, including the cost and availability of insurance, due to the threat of future terrorist activity in the U.S. and other parts of the world and related U.S. military action overseas.

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

16


Table of Contents

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

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

     Our corporate headquarters and the headquarters of our human pharmaceutical and animal health businesses are located at our world headquarters, which includes several buildings in New York City. We own two of the buildings, including our main, 33-story office tower at 235 East 42nd Street, and lease other nearby space. Our 33-story office tower is located on a site we lease under a long-term ground lease.

     For our pharmaceutical businesses, we own and lease space around the world for sales and marketing, administrative support and customer service functions.

     Our Global Research and Development division is headquartered in New London, Connecticut and has major operations in owned facilities in Amboise, France; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Freiburg, Germany; Fresnes, France; Groton, Connecticut; Holland, Michigan; Nagoya, Japan; Sandwich, England, U.K.; and Terre Haute, Indiana. We also lease major facilities in La Jolla, California and Cambridge, Massachusetts for pharmaceutical research and development operations.

     Our Global Manufacturing division operates plants in 54 locations around the world that manufacture products for our human pharmaceutical, animal health and consumer healthcare businesses. Major facilities are located in Brazil, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. In addition, the Global Manufacturing division operates numerous distribution facilities in major markets around the world.

     The headquarters and research operations of our Consumer Healthcare business are located in Morris Plains, New Jersey, where we own five buildings and lease a smaller amount of space nearby. CHC’s sales and marketing offices are located in leased space, in many cases shared with other businesses.

     The Capsugel business operates manufacturing and distribution facilities in ten locations around the world.

     The Adams Confectionery business, which we recently agreed to sell, operates manufacturing facilities in 24 locations around the world.

     The Schick-Wilkinson Sword Shaving Products business, which we also recently agreed to sell, operates manufacturing facilities in five locations around the world.

     In general, our properties are well maintained, adequate and suitable to their purposes. The growth of our businesses has created space pressures for certain operations, however. We have responded to such challenges with plans to provide appropriate facilities as needs are demonstrated. Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements, Property, Plant and Equipment, on page 55 of our 2002 Annual Report, which discloses amounts invested in land, buildings and equipment, and the discussion of investing activities under the heading Summary of Cash Flows on page 37 of our 2002 Annual Report, which describes our capital expenditures, are incorporated by reference. See also the discussion under Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements, Lease Commitments, on page 60 of our 2002 Annual Report, which also is incorporated by reference.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     A discussion of the legal proceedings in which we are involved, both in general and with respect to specific matters and types of matters, is set forth in Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements, Legal Proceedings and Contingencies, on pages 62-64 of our 2002 Annual Report. That discussion is incorporated by reference. The following is limited to a description of certain recent developments and should be read in conjunction with the discussion in Note 20. Unless otherwise indicated, all proceedings discussed in Note 20 remain pending.

Patent Matters

Neurontin (gabapentin)

     As previously reported, in 2000, Warner-Lambert brought patent infringement suits against several generic manufacturers that have filed abbreviated new drug applications with the FDA asserting the invalidity and non-infringement of our gabapentin (Neurontin) low-lactam patent. One of those generic manufacturers recently received tentative approval from the FDA to market a generic version of gabapentin. Tentative approval means that this generic manufacturer can market its product after the expiration of the 180-day marketing exclusivity period in favor of one of the other generic manufacturers that has not yet received FDA approval to market its generic version of gabapentin.

Lipitor (atorvastatin)

     In February 2003, we filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware for infringement of our basic product patent for atorvastatin (Lipitor) against a generic manufacturer that has filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA and asserted that its product would not infringe the patent. Our basic product patent, including the additional six-month pediatric exclusivity period, expires in 2010. Subsequently, the generic manufacturer asserted that our patent covering the active enantiomeric form of the drug is invalid; that patent, including the six-month pediatric exclusivity period, expires in 2011.

Celebrex, Bextra (celecoxib, valdecoxib)

     In the previously reported patent infringement action brought by the University of Rochester against Pfizer and others with respect to Celebrex and Bextra, the University recently appealed the court’s decision granting our motions for summary judgment.

Other Matters

Neurontin

     As previously reported, the U.S. Attorney’s office in Boston, Massachusetts has been conducting an investigation into Warner-Lambert’s promotion of Neurontin. These allegations are now also the subject of a number of suits, including purported class actions, filed in various federal and state courts.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     A Special Meeting of Shareholders was held on December 6, 2002 at which shareholders of the Company voted on two proposals.

     The proposal to approve the issuance of shares of Pfizer common stock in connection with the merger with Pharmacia was approved as follows:

    4,169,265,854  votes for the proposal
 
    55,678,222  votes against the proposal
 
    38,645,841  votes abstained
 

     The proposal to amend the Pfizer certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized share capital was approved as follows:

    4,058,051,614  votes for the proposal
 
    164,891,876  votes against the proposal

SECTION 1. CONTINUATION AND PURPOSE OF THE PLAN.

     1.1 Continuation. There is hereby continued for the benefit of Members an unfunded plan of deferred compensation known as the “Pfizer Inc Nonfunded Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Savings Plan.”

     1.2 Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to provide a means by which an Eligible Employee may, in certain circumstances, elect to defer receipt of a portion of his “Regular Earnings.” The Plan also provides that the Company will, in certain instances, credit the Account of a Member with Employer Accruals.

     1.3 Description of the Plan. The Plan became effective July 1, 1983 and is amended and restated effective February 1, 2002, except as otherwise provided herein. For purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended, the Plan shall be treated as two separate, unfunded plans. One plan shall be an “excess benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(36) of ERISA, and shall be comprised of accruals under the Plan that are made solely because of the applicable limitations under Section 415 of the Code, plus earnings thereon. All other accruals under the Plan, plus earnings thereon, shall be treated as made under a separate “top-hat” plan maintained by the Company primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meanings of Sections 201(a)(2) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. Separate accounts shall be maintained under the Plan for each Member, as applicable, to account for excess benefit plan accruals and earnings, and top-hat plan accruals and earnings.

     3.2 Election to Make Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals. An Eligible Employee may elect at any time after becoming eligible to begin making Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals by filing an election with the Committee or its authorized designee in accordance with this Section 3 and any rules established by the Committee.

     3.3 Amendment or Suspension of Election. Members may change (including, suspend) their existing Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals election under this Plan during the Plan Year by filing a new election in accordance with the prescribed administrative

-5-


 

guidelines. Such new election will be effective on a prospective basis beginning with the payroll period that occurs as soon as administratively practicable following receipt of the election by the Committee or its authorized designee. A Member shall not be permitted to make up suspended Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals, and during any period in which a Member’s Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals are suspended, the Employer Accruals under the Plan with respect to Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals shall also be suspended. A Member who receives a hardship withdrawal under the Qualified Plan shall be suspended from making Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals hereunder for a period of six (6) months from the date of such withdrawal.

     3.4 Amount of Elections.

-6-


 

SECTION 4. EMPLOYER ACCRUALS.

     4.1 General Rule.

     An Employer Accrual will be credited to a Member’s Account with respect to the eligible portion of Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals of such Member at the applicable rate of “Matching Contributions” with respect to “After-Tax Contributions” and “Before-Tax Contributions” under the Qualified Plan. The Employer Accrual shall be credited as soon as practicable following the payroll period for which the Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals are made. The eligible portion of a Member’s Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals shall be limited to six percent (6%) of such Excess Regular Earnings for each payroll period. In addition, an Employer Accrual will be credited as of the end of each Plan Year to a Member’s Account equal to the difference between (i) the amount that would have been credited to the Member’s account under the Qualified Plan as a “Matching Contribution,” including Additional Contribution, if any, if the Limitations were not applicable to the Member under the Qualified Plan during such Plan Year and (ii) the “Matching Contributions,” including Additional Contributions, if any, actually credited to the Member’s account under the Qualified Plan during such Plan Year. Lastly, an Employer Accrual will be credited to the Account of a Member who elects to defer his bonus under the Warner-Lambert Company Incentive Compensation Plan (“ICP”). The amount of such Employer Accrual will be equal to the product of: (i) six percent (6%) of the bonus deferred under the ICP, and (ii) the applicable rate of “Matching Contributions” with respect to “After-Tax Contributions” and “Before-Tax Contributions” under the

-7-


 

Qualified Plan. The Employer Accrual shall be credited as soon as practical following the payroll period in which the bonus is deferred.

     4.2 Special Employer Accrual for Certain Former Warner-Lambert Employees.

     In the case of any Eligible Employee who (i) was an “Eligible Participant” under the Warner-Lambert Savings and Stock Plan as in effect on January 31, 2002 (the “Warner-Lambert Plan”), (ii) is a participant under the Warner-Lambert Enhanced Severance Plan on May 15, 2003, (iii) has completed at least three years of Plan membership (including Warner-Lambert Plan membership) under the Qualified Plan as of May 15, 2003, and (iv) was an Eligible Employee on May 15, 2003, an Employer Accrual shall be credited to such Eligible Employee’s Account in an amount equal to the difference between (a) and (b) below:

          (a) the “Matching Contribution” which would have been made to the Eligible Employee’s account under the Qualified Plan with respect to the period June 1, 2002 through May 15, 2003 if such “Matching Contribution” had been based on the terms of Article 5 of the Warner-Lambert Plan, assuming an additional matching contribution rate of 65%; and

          (b) the “Matching Contribution” actually made to the Eligible Employee’s account under the Qualified Plan with respect to the period June 1, 2002 through May 15, 2003.

This Employer Accrual shall be credited as soon as practicable following the payroll period which includes May 15, 2003.

-8-


 

     4.3 Special Employer Accrual for Certain Former Agouron Employees.

     In the case of any Eligible Employee who (i) was an “Eligible Employee” under the Agouron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 401(k) Plan as in effect on January 31, 2002 (the “Agouron Plan”), (ii) was a participant under the Warner-Lambert Enhanced Severance Plan on May 15, 2003, and (iii) was an Eligible Employee on May 15, 2003, an Employer Accrual shall be credited to such Eligible Employee’s Account in an amount equal to the difference between (a) and (b) below:

     (a)  the “Matching Contribution” which would have been made to the Eligible Employee’s account under the Qualified Plan with respect to the period June 1, 2002 through May 15, 2003 if such “Matching Contribution” had been based on the terms of Article 6.4 of the Agouron Plan, assuming an additional matching contribution rate of 35%; and

     (b)  the “Matching Contribution” actually made to the Eligible Employee’s Account under the Qualified Plan with respect to the period June 1, 2002 through May 15, 2003.

This Employer Accrual shall be credited as soon as practicable following the payroll period which includes May 15, 2003.

SECTION 5.   INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNT.

     5.1 Creation of Accounts. The Company will maintain an Account under the Plan in the name of each Member. Each Member’s Account will be credited with the amount of the Member’s Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals, Employer Accruals, and will

- 9 -


 

be adjusted for earnings and losses thereon. In the case of Members covered under both the “excess benefit” and “top-hat” portions of the Plan, separate accounts will be maintained to reflect the Members’ interest in each such portion of the Plan.

     5.2 Payment Account Option Election. Each Member shall elect the particular Payment Option that is to apply to amounts credited to the Member’s Account. In order for a Payment Option election to be effective, it must be made (i) no later than ninety (90) days (one hundred and eighty (180) days for employment terminations on or after January 1, 2003) prior to the date the Member terminates employment with the Controlled Group, and (ii) in a taxable year preceding the taxable year in which payment would otherwise be made or commence. In the absence of a timely election, payment of the Member’s Account will be made in accordance with the most recent Payment Option election which satisfies the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence or, in the absence of any such Payment Option election, in five (5) substantially equal annual installments commencing as soon as practicable following the end of the Plan Year in which the Member terminates employment with the Controlled Group. The foregoing notwithstanding, in any case where the value of the Member’s Plan Account is less than ten percent (10%) of the value of the Member’s interest in both the Plan and the Qualified Plan, payment of the Member’s Account shall be made in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the end of the Plan Year in which the Member terminates employment with the Controlled Group. Upon a Member becoming “Disabled,” as determined under the Qualified Plan, the balance of the Member’s Account shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

- 10 -


 

     5.3 Investments. All Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals will be credited with an amount equal to the amount which would have been earned had such amounts been actually invested in one or more of the “Funds” (other than the Pfizer Match Fund) available for investment under the Qualified Plan, as the Member may elect from time to time, in one percent (1%) increments. The portion of the Member’s Account attributable to Employer Accruals shall be deemed to be invested in the Pfizer Match Fund. Rules similar to those which govern the Qualified Plan shall apply for purposes of determining the value of the deemed investments and the timing, frequency and permissibility of investment transfers, except that no diversification of Employer Accruals which are deemed to be invested in the Pfizer Match Fund shall be permitted. No provision of this Plan shall require the Company or any other Employer to actually invest any amount in any “Fund” or in any other investment vehicle. The Plan is an unfunded plan that is not subject to the funding requirements of ERISA, meaning that there are no actual investments held in a trust. The Accounts represent unsecured obligations of the Company, and no funds are set aside from the Company’s general assets to cover such Accounts. The Plan is subject to the full faith and credit of the Company, and Members would be general creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency.

     With respect to a Member subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, an election to transfer a portion of his Account into, or out of, the “Pfizer Company Stock Fund” shall be permitted only if the Member has not elected during the immediately preceding six months to transfer out of, or into, such Fund within this Plan, the Pfizer Company Stock Fund under the Qualified Plan or the unit account within the Pfizer Inc Nonfunded Deferred Compensation and Unit Award Plan for Non-Employee Directors, the

- 11 -


 

Pfizer Inc Retainer Units Award Plan for Non-Employee Directors, or the Pfizer Inc Deferred Compensation Plan.

SECTION 6.   PAYMENT.

     6.1 Payment of Benefits. A Member shall be paid the balance of his Account following termination of employment in accordance with the Payment Option elected by the Member. Upon the death of a Member, the Member’s beneficiary shall be paid the balance of the Member’s Account in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the death of the Member.

     6.2. Benefits Subject to Withholding. The benefits payable under this Plan shall be subject to the deduction of any federal, state, or local income taxes, employment taxes or other taxes which are required to be withheld from such payments by applicable laws and regulations. Any employment taxes owed by the Member with respect to any deferral, accrual or benefit payable under this Plan may be withheld from other compensation of the Member in the year in which such tax liability accrues.

SECTION 7.   NATURE OF INTEREST OF MEMBER.

     Participation in this Plan will not create, in favor of any Member, any rights or lien in or against any of the assets of the Company or any Employer, and all amounts of Excess Regular Earnings deferred hereunder shall at all times remain an unrestricted asset of the Company or the Employer. A Member’s rights to benefits payable under the Plan are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, or encumbrance. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its

- 12 -


 

provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between any Employer and a Member or any person, and the Company’s and each Employer’s promise to pay benefits hereunder shall at all times remain unfunded as to the Member.

SECTION 8.   BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.

     A Member’s beneficiary under this Plan will automatically be the same as such Member’s beneficiary under the Qualified Plan unless a separate designation of beneficiary form for this Plan has been properly filed with the Committee or its authorized designee in accordance with any rule established by the Committee. In the absence of a designation of specific beneficiary under either the Qualified Plan or this Plan, which beneficiary survives the Member, upon the Member’s death, payment of his Account shall be made to his estate in a lump sum as soon as practicable.

SECTION 9.    ADMINISTRATION.

     9.1 Committee. This Plan will be administered by the Committee.

     9.2 Powers of the Committee. The Committee’s powers under this Plan are the same as are described in the Qualified Plan and include, but are not limited to, the power:

      (i) to determine who are Eligible Employees for purposes of participation in the Plan;
 
      (ii) to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and to determine any and all questions arising under the Plan, including without

Financial Review
PFIZER INC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

OVERVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS

In 2002, total revenues grew 12% to $32,373 million. Our human pharmaceutical business drove our performance, achieving revenue growth of 12% in 2002. We market or copromote ten human pharmaceutical products that each generated sales to third parties of $1 billion or more in 2002. Net income grew 17% to $9,126 million and diluted earnings per common share (EPS) grew 20% to $1.46 in 2002 as compared to the prior year. Net income was impacted by:

  non-cash charges for impairment provisions related to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, which reduced net income by $410 million after tax as a result of the January 1, 2002 adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — such charges are recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle;
 
  costs related to our 2000 merger with Warner-Lambert Company (Warner-Lambert), which reduced net income by $331 million after tax in 2002 as compared to $505 million after tax in 2001 — such costs included integration costs and restructuring charges;
 
  pre-integration costs related to our proposed acquisition of Pharmacia Corporation (Pharmacia), which reduced 2002 net income by $59 million after tax; and
 
  certain significant items, which were a net increase to 2002 net income of $13 million after tax — such items included the gain on the sale of a discontinued business, gains on the sales of product lines, copromotion charges, asset impairment charges, charges to write-down equity investments, charges for various litigation matters, and merger-related costs of the confectionery, shaving, and fish-care products businesses, which were discontinued in 2002.

We sold or are in the process of selling the following businesses and product lines that do not fit our strategic goals:

  Tetra fish-care products business (sold in December 2002)
 
  Adams confectionery products business
 
  Schick-Wilkinson Sword shaving products business
 
  certain women’s health product lines — femhrt hormone replacement therapy and Loestrin and Estrostep contraceptives

The divestitures of the Adams and Schick-Wilkinson Sword businesses and the women’s health product lines are expected to close in the first half of 2003. These businesses and product lines are reflected as discontinued operations in 2002, 2001 and 2000.

In 2001, total revenues grew 11% to $29,024 million. Our human pharmaceutical business drove our performance, achieving revenue growth of 13% in 2001. Eight human pharmaceutical products that we marketed or copromoted each generated sales to third parties of $1 billion or more in 2001. Net income grew 109% to $7,788 million and diluted EPS grew 107% to $1.22 in 2001 as compared to the prior year. These results were impacted by:

  negative effects of foreign exchange, which reduced 2001 revenues by $742 million;
 
  costs related to our 2000 merger with Warner-Lambert, which reduced net income by $505 million after tax in 2001 as compared to $2,773 million after tax in 2000 — such costs included integration costs and restructuring charges; and
 
  certain significant items, which were a net reduction to net income of $58 million after tax — such items included an increase to revenues from an accounting harmonization for Medicaid discounts and contract rebate accruals, gains on the sales of equity investments, copromotion charges, and merger-related costs of the confectionery, shaving and fish-care products businesses, which were discontinued in 2002.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following accounting policies are important to an understanding of our operating results and financial condition and should be considered an integral part of the financial review. For additional accounting policies, see note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, “Significant Accounting Policies.”

Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing our financial information, we use some estimates and assumptions that may affect reported amounts and disclosures. Estimates are used when accounting for sales discounts, allowances and incentives, depreciation, amortization, employee benefits, contingencies and asset valuations. For instance, in determining our annual pension and other post-employment benefit costs, we estimate the rate of return on plan assets and the cost of future health care benefits. We are also subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimated results, such as changes in the health care environment, competition, foreign exchange, litigation, legislation and regulations. Certain of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are discussed under the heading “Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results.”

Sales Recognition

REVENUE RECOGNITION — We record revenue from product sales when the goods are shipped and title passes to the customer.

SALES INCENTIVES —We generally record sales incentives as a reduction of revenue at the time the related revenue is recorded or when the incentive is offered, whichever is later. We estimate the cost of sales incentives based on our historical experience with similar incentive programs.

SALES DISCOUNTS AND REBATES — Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers are recorded based on the terms of sale in the same period the related sales are recorded. We determine the provision for Medicaid discounts and contract rebates based on an estimate of reimbursable prescriptions filled for individuals covered by Medicaid or a provider with whom we contract.

Alliances

We have agreements to promote pharmaceutical products discovered by other companies. Revenue is earned when our copromotion partners ship the related products and title passes to their customer. Our alliance revenue is primarily based upon a percentage of our copromotion partners’ net sales. Generally, expenses for selling and marketing these products are included in Selling, informational and administrative (SI&A) expenses.

Prior to the copromoted product receiving regulatory approval, we expense, as incurred, milestone payments made under these agreements and record them in Other (income)/deductions — net. Once the product receives regulatory approval, we record any subsequent milestone payments in Other assets, deferred taxes and deferred charges and amortize them over the remaining license term or the expected product life cycle, whichever is shorter. On an ongoing basis, we review for impairment those milestone payments that have been recorded as assets.

PFIZER INC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (R&D) costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses include the cost of our proprietary R&D efforts as well as costs incurred in connection with our third-party collaboration efforts. Pre-approval milestone payments made by us to third parties under contracted R&D arrangements are expensed when the specific milestone has been achieved. We have no third-party R&D arrangements that result in the recognition of revenue.

Contingencies

We and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in various patent, product liability, consumer, commercial, environmental, and tax litigations and claims; government investigations; and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. We record accruals for such contingencies based upon our assessment that the occurrence is probable, and where determinable, an estimate of the liability amount. We consider many factors in making these assessments, including past history, scientific evidence and the specifics of each matter. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur. We record anticipated recoveries under existing insurance contracts when assured of recovery. We also provide tax reserves when we believe that a taxing authority is likely to take a sustainable position on a matter contrary to the position taken by us or one of our subsidiaries when filing required tax returns.

Financial Instruments

We invest, borrow and offset or hedge through a variety of financial instruments.

Held-to-maturity debt securities are reported at cost, which reflects our intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity and to redeem the securities for their face value.

Available-for-sale debt securities are reported at estimated fair value, with changes in fair value reported as an increase or decrease in Shareholders’ equity. These are liquid investments and their fair values are based on a valuation model that uses observable market quotes and credit ratings of the securities.

Accounts receivable are reported at contract value, less our estimate for uncollectible amounts based on our experience relative to the total population of accounts receivable.

All derivative contracts are reported at estimated fair value, with changes in fair value reported in earnings or deferred until the offset or hedged item is recognized in earnings, depending on the nature and effectiveness of the offset or hedging relationship (where changes in the fair value of the hedged item are counterbalanced by changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument). The fair values of these contracts are based on valuation models that use observable market quotes and our view of the creditworthiness of the derivative counterparty. Any ineffectiveness in a hedging relationship is recognized immediately into earnings. Ineffectiveness is minimized through the proper relationship of the hedging derivative contract with the hedged item.

Pension Plans

We maintain pension plans in the U.S. and abroad in accordance with local laws and regulations. In 2002, we made voluntary contributions in excess of minimum requirements of $610 million to our pension plans in major markets. In the U.S., we have established qualified defined benefit pension plans in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. We have traditionally contributed the maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue Service — an amount significantly above government-mandated minimum funding requirements. Our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans have been well funded historically. The recent decline in the equity markets coupled with the decline in long-term interest rates has not caused our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans to require government-mandated funding. Given our strong cash flow generation, we fully expect to be able to meet any potential future pension funding obligations.

We also provide benefits through supplemental (non-qualified) retirement plans to certain employees. We provide for these plans out of our general assets since these plans are not generally funded.

Our assumption for the expected long-term rate of return on assets in our U.S. pension plans to determine net periodic benefit cost is 9% for 2003, which represents a 1% decline from our 2002 rate of return of 10%. The assumption for the expected return on assets reflects our long-term outlook for equity and fixed income returns, factoring in our pension plans’ historical annualized compound return in excess of 9% and our asset allocation and investment strategy as well as our financial modeling around long-term market expectations. The expected return is applied to the fair market value of plan assets at each year-end. As a sensitivity measure, the effect of a 1% decline in the return-on-assets assumption is an increase in our 2003 U.S. (pre-tax) pension expense of approximately $30 million.

The discount rate used in calculating our U.S. pension benefit obligations at December 31, 2002 is 6.9%, which represents a 0.4% decline from our December 31, 2001 rate of 7.3%. The December 31, 2002 discount rate represents the weighted average of the plans’ respective discount rates. The discount rate is largely based upon an index of high-quality fixed income investments (U.S. Moody’s AA Long-Term Corporate Bond Index ) at the plans’ respective measurement dates. As a sensitivity measure, the effect of a 0.4% decline in the discount rate assumption is an increase in our 2003 U.S. (pre-tax) pension expense of approximately $31 million and an increase in the U.S. pension plans’ projected benefit obligations at December 31, 2002 of approximately $240 million.

REVENUES

Revenues increased 12% to $32,373 million in 2002 and 11% to $29,024 million in 2001. Revenue increases in both years were due to newly launched products, new indications for existing products and sales volume growth of our human pharmaceutical products.

Revenues in the U.S. grew 11% to $20,762 million in 2002 and 13% to $18,629 million in 2001. International revenues grew 12% to $11,611 million in 2002 and 8% to $10,395 million in 2001.

Revenues exceeded $500 million in each of seven countries outside the U.S. in 2002 and in each of six countries outside the U.S. in 2001. The U.S. was the only country to contribute more than 10% of total revenues in both years.

In the second quarter of 2001, we brought the accounting methodology pertaining to accruals for estimated liabilities related to Medicaid discounts and contract rebates of Warner-Lambert into conformity with our historical method. At Warner-Lambert, the amount of the liability was determined based on a historical percentage of sales. The adjustment reversed the cumulative effect of several years of applying different methodologies. The adjustment increased Revenues in 2001 by $175 million. There were no cash or operational changes, nor were our Medicaid or managed-care-contract partners affected as a result of this adjustment.

HUMAN PHARMACEUTICAL

In the U.S. market, human pharmaceutical revenue growth was 12% in 2002 and 14% in 2001. International growth was 12% in 2002 and 11% in 2001. Excluding the effect of the 2001 harmonization of an accounting methodology for Medicaid discounts and contract rebate accruals, human pharmaceutical revenue grew by 13% in 2002. On this same basis, but also excluding the impact of foreign exchange, human pharmaceutical revenue grew by 15% in 2001.

In 2002, ten human pharmaceutical products that we market or copromote each achieved sales to third parties of $1 billion or more. These products —Lipitor, Norvasc, Zoloft, Neurontin, Celebrex, Zithromax, Viagra, Diflucan, Zyrtec and Aricept — representing 85% of our human pharmaceutical revenues, grew at a combined rate of 15% in 2002.

medicine that treats both indoor and outdoor allergies, as well as nasal congestion.

  Alliance revenue reflects revenue associated with our copromotion of Celebrex, Bextra, Aricept, Spiriva and Rebif.

     
-   Celebrex, the first Cox 2 specific inhibitor to enter the market and currently the best-selling arthritis treatment worldwide was discovered and developed by our alliance partner Pharmacia.
-   Bextra, the latest entry to the Cox 2 specific inhibitor market was also discovered and developed by our alliance partner Pharmacia. With Celebrex and Bextra, we can offer physicians a broad, extensive portfolio enabling them to treat a wide range of conditions from rheumatoid arthritis, to osteoarthritis, to primary dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain in adults).
-   Aricept, discovered and developed by our alliance partner Eisai Co., Ltd., is the world’s leading medicine to treat symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
-   Spiriva, discovered and developed by our alliance partner Boehringer Ingelheim, is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease — a chronic respiratory disorder that includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
-   Rebif, discovered and developed by Serono S. A. (Serono), is used to treat symptoms of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis.

    Pharmacia’s worldwide sales of Celebrex decreased 2% to $3,050 million in 2002 and increased 19% to $3,114 million in 2001. Pharmacia’s worldwide sales of Bextra were $470 million in 2002.
 
    Alliances allow us to copromote or license these products for sale in certain countries. Under the copromotion agreements, these products are marketed and promoted with our alliance partners. We provide cash, staff and other resources to sell, market, promote and further develop these products.

Rebates under Medicaid and related state programs reduced revenues by $570 million in 2002, $342 million in 2001 ($403 million excluding the effect of the harmonization of the Pfizer/Warner-Lambert accounting methodology for Medicaid discount accruals) and $349 million in 2000. We also provided legislatively mandated discounts to the U.S. federal government of $420 million in 2002, $343 million in 2001 and $237 million in 2000. Performance-based contracts also provide for rebates to several customers. These contracts are with managed care customers, including health maintenance organizations and pharmacy benefit managers, who receive rebates based on the achievement of contracted performance terms for products. Rebates are product specific, and therefore, for any given year can be impacted by the mix of products sold.

Companion animal product revenues increased 14% in 2002 driven by strong global performance that was well-balanced across key brand performance as follows:

  Rimadyl (for relief of arthritis pain in dogs) sales grew 14% due to increased field and marketing emphasis on the brand throughout our international markets and increased veterinary demand in the U.S. based on a new U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a postoperative pain indication
 
  Revolution (for protection against fleas and heartworm) sales grew 35% largely due to benefits generated from increased promotional efforts in Europe and a change from distributorship to direct customer sales in one of our Asian markets
 
  Clavamox/Synulox (an antibiotic for dogs and cats) sales grew 21% due to field and marketing emphasis on the brand throughout our markets

partially offset by:
 
  our companion animal vaccine line, which showed growth of 5%, reflective of a mature market segment in which our commitment to customer service enables us to maintain our customer base

Livestock product revenues increased 6% in 2002 with key performance as follows:

  swine vaccine sales grew 18% due to the 2002 launch of Flusure (a swine influenza vaccine) in the U.S., as well as the launch of RespiSure One/ Stellamune One (a single-dose swine vaccine to prevent pneumonia) in our international markets
 
  cattle vaccine sales grew 12% due to growth in our European markets, where the livestock market has shown signs of recovery, and in Latin America, resulting from higher sales of vaccines for foot-and-mouth disease

partially offset by:

  Dectomax (a treatment for internal and external parasites in cattle and swine) sales, which remained flat, as the product faced increased generic competition and price erosion throughout our markets

Animal health revenues decreased 3% in 2001 primarily due to:

  the impact of mad-cow disease and foot-and-mouth disease in Europe
 
  the negative effects of foreign exchange (animal health revenues increased 2% in 2001 excluding the impact of foreign exchange)

partially offset by:

  increased sales of Revolution
 
  new promotional and distribution practices as well as various restructuring initiatives

Excluding the impact of foreign exchange and the feed-additive product lines which were sold in November 2000, animal health revenues increased 13% in 2001.

In November 2000, we sold animal health’s feed-additive product lines to Phibro Animal Health, a wholly owned subsidiary of Philipp Brothers Chemicals, Inc., for cash of $45 million and a promissory note for $23 million due March 1, 2004. The sale resulted in a loss of $85 million, which was recorded in Other (income)/deductions — net.

CONSUMER PRODUCTS

The consumer products segment consists of our consumer healthcare business, a supplier of over-the-counter medicines.

The 7% increase in consumer healthcare revenues in 2002 was primarily due to:

  the success of Listerine PocketPaks representing 5% of the 7% overall increase in consumer healthcare revenues
 
  the 10% increase in sales of Listerine mouthwash

The 4% increase in consumer healthcare revenues in 2001 was primarily due to:

  the sales growth of Sudafed, Benadryl and Listerine mouthwash
 
  the U.S. launch of Listerine PocketPaks in September 2001

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTS

We continue to invest in R&D to provide future sources of revenue through the development of new products, as well as through additional uses for existing in-line and alliance products. We have six new products that were recently approved or are undergoing regulatory review in the U.S. and/or European Union (E.U.): Bextra (discovered and developed by Pharmacia), Spiriva (discovered and developed by Boehringer Ingelheim), Vfend, Geodon, Relpax and Rebif (discovered and developed by Serono).We intend to launch all six products in new markets once regulatory approvals are received. However, there are no assurances as to when, or if, we will receive regulatory approval for these or any of our other new products.

Advanced-stage clinical studies are continuing for several agents, including indiplon for insomnia, Macugen for macular degeneration, capravirine for HIV/AIDS, lasofoxifene for osteoporosis and other indications, varenicline for smoking cessation and Exubera, an inhalable form of insulin under co-development, co-manufacture, and co-marketing with Aventis Pharma (Aventis), with the participation of Nektar Therapeutics (formerly known as Inhale Therapeutic Systems).

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

In December 2002, we announced an agreement with Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Neurocrine) for the exclusive worldwide development and commercialization of indiplon, Neurocrine’s Phase III compound for the potential treatment of insomnia. Under terms of the agreement, we will obtain an exclusive, worldwide license for indiplon. We will record all sales of indiplon and Neurocrine will have exclusive rights to copromote, but not to sell, indiplon in the U.S. Following filing of an NDA for indiplon, Neurocrine will also have rights to detail, but not to sell, our antidepressant, Zoloft, in the U.S. The government approved the transaction in February 2003 and we expect to expense a payment of $100 million to Neurocrine in March 2003. Additional milestone payments of $300 million potentially could be made to Neurocrine based on worldwide regulatory submissions and approvals. We will fund the ongoing development of indiplon and pay royalties on worldwide sales and copromotion commissions in the U.S. Neurocrine may submit the indiplon NDA as early as year-end 2003. Following the U.S. launch of indiplon, we will provide a $175 million secured credit facility for a period of three years.

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

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

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Cost of sales increased 6% in 2002 and 2% in 2001 while revenues increased 12% in 2002 and 11% in 2001. The change in both years reflects favorable business and product mix, the benefit of integration synergies and improvements in manufacturing efficiencies. Manufacturing efficiencies stem from greater volume and cost reductions attributable to procurement initiatives, as well as plant operating efficiencies. Cost of sales in 2002 was unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange versus a favorable impact in 2001.

SI&A expenses increased 12% in 2002 and 2% in 2001. These increases are mainly due to strong marketing and sales support for our broad portfolio of human pharmaceutical products. During 2002, marketing expenses included costs associated with the U.S. launch of the anti-arthritic product Bextra, copromoted with Pharmacia, the U.S. launch of the anti-fungal agent Vfend, and initial commercial support of the multiple sclerosis product Rebif, copromoted in the U.S. with Serono. In Europe, the launch of Spiriva for COPD, copromoted with Boehringer Ingelheim and the migraine product Relpax also contributed to the year-over-year increase in marketing expenses.

R&D expenses increased 8% in 2002 and 9% in 2001. In both years, growth is attributable to increased support of the late-stage R&D portfolio, higher costs as a result of the recent expansion of facilities and increased information technology costs due to the continued implementation of enterprise-wide resource management systems.

We incurred the following merger-related costs in continuing operations in connection with our merger with Warner-Lambert and our proposed acquisition of Pharmacia:

*Included in Other current liabilities.

Through December 31, 2002, the charges for employee termination costs represent the approved reduction of our work force of our continuing businesses by 7,961 people, mainly in administrative functions for corporate, manufacturing, distribution, sales and research. We notified affected individuals, and as of December 31, 2002, 7,321 employees had been terminated. Employee termination costs include accrued severance benefits and costs associated with change-in-control provisions of certain Warner-Lambert employment contracts. Under the terms of these contracts, certain terminated employees may elect to defer receipt of severance benefits. Severance benefits deferred for future payments were $218 million at December 31, 2002 and $215 million at December 31, 2001. The deferred severance benefits are considered utilized charges and are included in Other noncurrent liabilities.

The impairment and disposal charges through December 31, 2002 for property, plant and equipment include the consolidation of facilities and related fixed assets and the termination of certain software installation projects.

Merger-related synergies of about $1.8 billion were achieved in 2002 related to the Warner-Lambert acquisition. Total merger-related costs (excluding the transaction costs related to Warner-Lambert’s termination of the Warner-Lambert/American Home Products merger) were about $2.8 billion from the close of the transaction through the end of 2002. Costs associated with the Warner-Lambert transaction are essentially complete, and the total is consistent with previous estimates.

Our overall effective tax rate for continuing operations was 22.1% in 2002 and 24.4% in 2001. The lower tax rate in 2002 was primarily due to changes in product mix and tax-planning initiatives.

The effective tax rate for continuing operations, excluding the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, certain significant items and merger-related costs was 23.0% in 2002 and 25.1% in 2001.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

We sold or are in the process of selling the following businesses and product lines that do not fit our strategic goals:

  In December 2002, we sold the Tetra fish-care products business, formerly part of our Consumer Products segment, to the Triton Fund for $238.5 million in cash. We recognized a gain of $117 million ($77 million net of tax) on the sale in 2002.
 
  In December 2002, we entered into an agreement to sell the Adams confectionery products business, formerly part of our Consumer Products segment, to Cadbury Schweppes plc for $4.2 billion in cash.
 
  In January 2003, we entered into an agreement to sell the Schick-Wilkinson Sword shaving products business, formerly part of our Consumer Products segment, to Energizer Holdings Inc. for $930 million in cash.
 
  We decided to sell certain of our women’s health product lines (femhrt, Loestrin and Estrostep), formerly part of our Pharmaceutical segment.

The divestitures of the Adams and Schick-Wilkinson Sword businesses and the women’s health product lines are expected to close in the first half of 2003 and are subject to the usual regulatory approvals. These businesses and product lines are reflected as discontinued operations in 2002, 2001 and 2000.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

Income before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, excluding certain significant items and merger-related costs, increased 19% in 2002 and 29% in 2001. We believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing net income excluding the impact of the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle; costs related to merger activities; gains or losses on the sale of businesses, product lines and equity investments; copromotion charges; and other items. Management analyzes the company’s performance based on operating results excluding certain significant items and merger-related costs. We believe that this basis better portrays the core operations of the company.

partially offset by:

  purchases of property, plant and equipment — $1,758 million
 
  purchases of our common stock — $4,996 million
 
  cash dividends on common stock — $3,168 million

The increase in shareholders’ equity per common share in 2002 is primarily due to net income, partially offset by dividends declared.

  an increase in cash dividends paid of $453 million as a result of an 18% increase in our quarterly dividends

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $1,632 million in 2001 primarily due to:

  an increase in net proceeds from borrowings of $5,225 million

  an increase in cash dividends paid of $518 million
 
  less cash received from exercises of employee stock options of approximately $400 million

In July 2002, we announced a new $16 billion share-purchase program, increased from the initial $10 billion authorized by our board of directors on June 27, 2002. We will buy back our common stock via open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions, as circumstances and prices warrant, with the anticipation of completing the share-purchase program in 2003. Under this share-purchase program, we purchased approximately 102 million shares of common stock at an average price

of $29.41 per share, at a total cost of approximately $3 billion, in 2002. In May 2002, we completed the share-purchase program authorized in June 2001. In total under the June 2001 program, we purchased 120 million shares at a total cost of approximately $4.8 billion. During 2002, under both the 2002 and the 2001 programs, we purchased approximately 153 million shares of common stock at a total cost of approximately $5 billion. Purchased shares are available for general corporate purposes.

*   Long-term debt consists of senior unsecured notes, floating-rate unsecured notes, foreign denominated notes and other borrowings and mortgages.

In 2003, for Pfizer on a stand-alone basis, we expect to spend approximately $1.8 billion on property, plant and equipment.

Our short-term borrowings have been rated P1 by Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) and A-1+ by Standard and Poor’s (S&P). Also, our long-term debt has been rated Aaa by Moody’s and AAA by S&P for the past 17 years. Moody’s and S&P are the major corporate debt-rating organizations, and these are their highest ratings. Both agencies have confirmed our ratings following the announcement of our intent to acquire Pharmacia. We rely largely on operating cash flow, short-term commercial paper borrowings and long-term debt to provide for working capital needs. Our access to short-term financing at favorable rates would be materially affected by a substantial downgrade in our credit ratings. Our superior credit ratings are primarily based on our diversified product portfolio, our strong operating cash flows and our substantial cash balances.

In April 2002, we issued $600 million of senior unsubordinated dollar-denominated debt. The notes mature on April 15, 2009, with interest payable annually, in arrears, beginning on April 15, 2003, at a rate of 5.625%. The proceeds from the debt were used for general corporate purposes.

In 2001, we issued $1,350 million and 60 billion yen ($489 million at date of issuance) of senior unsecured notes — $600 million of the notes mature November 1, 2004, with interest payable semi-annually at a rate of 3.625%. The remaining $750 million of the notes mature on February 1, 2006, with interest payable semi-annually at a rate of 5.625%. The 60 billion yen notes mature on March 18, 2008, with interest payable semi-annually, at a rate of ..80%. The proceeds from the note issuances were used for general corporate purposes.

We have available lines of credit and revolving-credit agreements with a group of banks and other financial intermediaries. We utilize short-term commercial paper to provide working capital. We maintain cash balances in excess of our commercial paper borrowings and have access to $2.9 billion of lines of credit that expire within one year. Of these lines of credit, $2.5 billion are unused, of which our lenders have committed to loan us $500 million at our request.

In February 2003, we issued:

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

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

In connection with these debt issuances, we entered into:

  $300 million notional amount of interest rate swaps maturing in 2009; and
 
  $300 million notional amount of interest rate swaps maturing in 2018.

We designated these interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of the changes in the fair value of fixed rate debt. These swaps serve to reduce our exposure to long-term U.S. interest rates by effectively converting the fixed rates associated with the long-term debt to floating rates.

We have approximately $6.9 billion in available borrowings between unused lines of credit and debt securities under a shelf registration statement filed with the SEC.

Certain of our copromotion agreements include additional provisions that give our alliance partners the right to negotiate the copromotion of certain specified Pfizer-discovered products or to receive cash payments beginning after 2005.

DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK

Our dividend payout ratio was approximately 36% in both 2002 and 2001. In December 2002, our Board of Directors declared a first-quarter 2003 dividend of $.15 per share. The 2003 cash dividend marks the 36th consecutive year of dividend increases.

BANKING OPERATION

Our international banking operation, Pfizer International Bank Europe (PIBE), operates under a full banking license from the Central Bank of Ireland. The results of its operations are included in Other (income)/deductions — net.

PIBE extends credit to financially strong borrowers, largely through U.S. dollar loans made primarily for short and medium terms, with floating interest rates. Generally, loans are made on an unsecured basis. When deemed appropriate, guarantees and certain covenants may be obtained as a condition to the extension of credit.

To reduce credit risk, PIBE has established credit approval guidelines, borrowing limits and monitoring procedures. Credit risk is further reduced through an active policy of diversification with respect to borrower,

industry and geographic location. PIBE continues to enjoy S&P’s highest short-term rating of A-1+.

The net income of PIBE is affected by changes in market interest rates because of repricing and maturity mismatches between its interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. PIBE is currently asset sensitive (more assets than liabilities repricing in a given period) and, therefore, we expect that in an environment of decreasing interest rates, net income would decrease. PIBE’s asset and liability management reflects its liquidity position and general market conditions.

For additional details regarding our banking operation, see note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, “Banking and Insurance Subsidiaries.”

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

As of January 1, 2003, we will adopt the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets. We do not expect the provisions of SFAS No. 143 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Also on January 1, 2003, we will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 amends existing accounting rules for these costs by requiring that a liability be recorded at fair value when incurred. The liability would be reviewed regularly for changes in fair value with adjustments recorded in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 146 also provides specific guidance for lease termination costs and one-time employee termination benefits when incurred as part of an exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 will change the measurement and timing of costs associated with exit and disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 will be applied prospectively to all such costs.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 provides guidance on the identification of variable interest entities, entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights, and how to determine whether a variable interest holder should consolidate the variable interest entities. This interpretation applies immediately to all variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The effective date for applying FIN 46’s consolidation requirements to variable interest entities acquired before February 1, 2003 is the beginning of our third quarter 2003. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 46 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This annual report and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following:

  the success of research and development activities and the speed with which regulatory authorizations, pricing approvals, and product launches may be achieved
 
  competitive developments affecting our current growth products
 
  the ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally
 
  difficulties or delays in manufacturing
 
  trade buying patterns
 
  the ability to meet generic and branded competition after the loss of patent protection for our products
 
  trends toward managed care and health care cost containment
 
  possible U.S. legislation affecting, among other things, pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement, including Medicaid and Medicare
 
  legislation or regulations in markets outside the U.S. affecting product pricing, reimbursement or access
 
  contingencies related to actual or alleged environmental contamination
 
  legal defense costs, insurance expense, settlement costs, and the risk of an adverse decision related to product liability, patent protection and other lawsuits
 
  the company’s ability to protect its patents and other intellectual property both domestically and internationally
 
  interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations
 
  governmental laws and regulations affecting domestic and foreign operations, including tax obligations
 
  changes in generally accepted accounting principles
 
  any changes in business, political and economic conditions due to the threat of future terrorist activity in the U.S. and other parts of the world, and related U.S. military action overseas
 
  the ability to divest and the timing of the divestitures of the discontinued businesses
 
  growth in costs and expenses
 
  changes in our product mix
 
  the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, product withdrawals and other unusual items, including our ability to obtain the anticipated results and synergies from our announced proposed acquisition of Pharmacia and the increased uncertainty created by the integration of the two businesses, as well as our sale of the Tetra business, our proposed sale of the Adams and Schick-Wilkinson Sword businesses and the timing and success of the sale of the women’s health product lines

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions.

Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and potentially inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions are discussed here and under the heading entitled “Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results” in Item 1 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, which will be filed at the end of March 2003.

This discussion of potential risks and uncertainties is by no means complete but is designed to highlight important factors that may impact our outlook.

Proposed Acquisition of Pharmacia Corporation

On July 15, 2002, we announced that we signed a definitive agreement to merge with Pharmacia Corporation (Pharmacia) in a stock-for-stock transaction valued on that date at approximately $60 billion. In December 2002, both Pfizer and Pharmacia shareholders approved the acquisition. The European Commission has approved our proposed acquisition of Pharmacia. We are awaiting approval by U.S. regulatory authorities. We expect the acquisition will close in the first quarter of 2003. Under terms of the merger agreement, upon close of the transaction we will exchange 1.4 shares of Pfizer common stock for each outstanding share of Pharmacia common stock in a tax-free transaction resulting in the issuance of approximately 2 billion shares of Pfizer common stock. We also will exchange options on 1.4 shares of Pfizer common stock for each outstanding Pharmacia option at the merger date. In addition, each share of Pharmacia convertible perpetual preferred stock will be exchanged for a share of a newly created class of Pfizer convertible perpetual preferred stock with rights substantially identical to the rights of the Pharmacia convertible perpetual preferred stock. The perpetual preferred stock will be convertible into approximately 16 million shares of Pfizer common stock.

In 2002, we have incurred approximately $33 million in transaction costs, including banking, legal, accounting and other costs directly related to our proposed acquisition of Pharmacia. At December 31, 2002, these costs are included in Other assets, deferred taxes and deferred charges. However, upon close of the acquisition, these amounts will become a part of the purchase price of Pharmacia. We have also incurred and expensed approximately $98 million of pre-integration costs associated with the proposed acquisition of Pharmacia. These costs are included in Merger-related costs.

The acquisition of Pharmacia could result in the divestiture of certain assets and operations, as required by regulatory agencies.

Competition and the Health Care Environment

In the U.S., many pharmaceutical products are subject to increasing pricing pressures, which could be significantly impacted by the current national debate over Medicare reform. If the Medicare program provided outpatient pharmaceutical coverage for its beneficiaries, the federal government, through its enormous purchasing power under the program, could demand discounts from pharmaceutical companies that may implicitly create price controls on prescription drugs. On the other hand, a Medicare drug reimbursement provision may increase the volume of pharmaceutical drug purchases, offsetting at least in part these potential price discounts. In addition, managed care organizations, institutions, Medicaid and other government agencies continue to seek price discounts. Government efforts to reduce Medicare and Medicaid expenses may continue to increase the use of managed care organizations. This may result in managed care’s influencing prescription decisions for a larger segment of the population.

We encounter similar regulatory and legislative issues in most other countries. In Europe and some other international markets, the government provides health care at low direct costs to consumers and regulates pharmaceutical prices or patient reimbursement levels to control costs for the government-sponsored health care system. This international patchwork of price regulation has led to different prices and some third-party trade in our products from markets with low prices. Such trade exploiting price differences between countries can undermine our sales in markets with higher prices. As a result, it is expected that pressures on the pricing component of operating results will continue.

As part of our commitment to improving health care for low-income seniors, we have expanded our Pfizer For Living program to include three new elements: a Pfizer Share Card; a help line to assist low-income seniors in learning about other services and benefits available in the healthcare system; and new easy-to-read health information on medical conditions. The Pfizer Share Card enables individual Medicare-eligible Americans with annual gross incomes of less than $18,000 ($24,000 for couples who file joint returns) who lack prescription drug coverage to buy a 30-day supply of any Pfizer prescription medicine for a flat fee of $15 per product. The Pfizer Share Card builds upon our longstanding commitment to ensure that patients have access to innovative pharmaceuticals, regardless of their ability to pay. Through Sharing the Care — a partnership with the National Governors Association and the National Association for Community Health Centers — we provide many of our leading medicines to low-income, uninsured patients through a network of 380 community health centers. Through a complementary program, Connection to Care, we donate medicines through individual physicians treating indigent patients. Internationally, we have two innovative access programs: the International Trachoma Initiative (ITI) and the Diflucan Partnership Program (DPP). Through the ITI, we donate the antibiotic Zithromax to combat blinding trachoma in developing countries. Through the DPP, we donate our antifungal Diflucan to treat two opportunistic fungal infections that often strike patients with HIV/AIDS in the world’s least developed countries where the disease is most prevalent. The DPP is currently active in 13 countries.

Operating Environment

Operations could be affected by changes in intellectual property legal protections and remedies, trade regulations and procedures and actions affecting approval, production, pricing, reimbursement and marketing of products, as well as by unstable governments and legal systems, intergovernmental disputes and possible nationalization.

Financial Risk Management

The overall objective of our financial risk management program is to seek a reduction in the potential negative earnings effects from changes in foreign exchange and interest rates arising in our business activities.

ANNUAL REPORT 2002 

P40


 

FINANCIAL REVIEW
PFIZER INC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

We manage these financial exposures through operational means and by using various financial instruments. These practices may change as economic conditions change. Generally, we do not use financial instruments for trading activities.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK — A significant portion of our revenues and earnings are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. We seek to manage our foreign exchange risk in part through operational means, including managing local currency revenues in relation to local currency costs and local currency assets in relation to local currency liabilities.

Foreign exchange risk is also managed through the use of foreign currency forward-exchange contracts. These contracts are used to offset the potential earnings effects from mostly intercompany short-term foreign currency assets and liabilities that arise from operations. We also use foreign currency forward-exchange contracts and foreign currency swaps to hedge the potential earnings effects from short- and long-term foreign currency investments and loans and intercompany loans.

Foreign currency put options are sometimes purchased to reduce a portion of the potential negative effects on earnings related to certain of our significant anticipated intercompany inventory purchases for up to one year. In 2002, these purchased options hedge Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar.

In addition, under certain market conditions, we protect against possible declines in the reported net assets of our subsidiaries in Japan and in countries that are members of the European Economic and Monetary Union. Early in the first quarter of 2001, we ceased all borrowings in euros.

For additional details on foreign exchange exposures, see note 6-D to the consolidated financial statements, “Financial Instruments — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

Our financial instrument holdings at year-end were analyzed to determine their sensitivity to foreign exchange rate changes. The fair values of these instruments were determined as follows:

  foreign currency forward-exchange contracts, currency swaps and foreign currency put options — net present values
 
  foreign receivables, payables, debt and loans — changes in exchange rates

In this sensitivity analysis, we assumed that the change in one currency’s rate relative to the U.S. dollar would not have an effect on other currencies’ rates relative to the U.S. dollar. All other factors were held constant.

If there were an adverse change in foreign exchange rates of 10%, the expected effect on net income related to our financial instruments would be immaterial. For additional details, see note 6-D to the consolidated financial statements, “Financial Instruments — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities: Accounting Policies.”

INTEREST RATE RISK — Our U.S. dollar interest-bearing investments, loans and borrowings are subject to interest rate risk. We invest and borrow primarily on a short-term or variable-rate basis. We are also subject to interest rate risk on Japanese yen short- and long-term borrowings. Under certain market conditions, interest rate swap contracts are used to adjust interest-sensitive assets and liabilities and forecasted assets and liabilities.

Our financial instrument holdings at year-end were analyzed to determine their sensitivity to interest rate changes. The fair values of these instruments were determined by net present values.

In this sensitivity analysis, we used the same change in interest rate for all maturities. All other factors were held constant.

If there were an adverse change in interest rates of 10%, the expected effect on net income related to our financial instruments would be immaterial.

Legal Proceedings and Contingencies

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

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

Outlook

We sold, or are in the process of selling, several businesses that do not fit our strategic goals. We expect to complete the remaining divestitures in the first half of 2003. Due to the partial-year loss of contribution of these businesses to our consolidated results — in part offset by interest income on the proceeds from their sale — we forecast 2003 diluted EPS, excluding certain significant items and merger-related costs, for Pfizer on a stand-alone basis, of approximately $1.80. We do not forecast reported 2003 diluted EPS in large part because the exact timing of the Pharmacia acquisition and the exact terms of the divestitures have not yet been determined and therefore related merger-related costs cannot yet be forecasted nor can any gains from sales of businesses.

Management’s Report

We prepared and are responsible for the financial statements that appear on pages 44 to 68. These financial statements are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and therefore, include amounts based on informed judgments and estimates. We also accept responsibility for the preparation of other financial information that is included in this document.

We have designed a system of internal controls to:

  safeguard the Company’s assets,
 
  ensure that transactions are properly authorized,
 
  provide reasonable assurance, at reasonable cost, of the integrity, objectivity and reliability of the financial information, and
 
  include procedures for appropriate disclosure.

An effective internal control system has inherent limitations no matter how well designed, and therefore, can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. The system is built on a business ethics policy that requires all employees to maintain the highest ethical standards in conducting Company affairs. Our system of internal control includes:

  careful selection, training and development of financial managers,
 
  an organizational structure that segregates responsibilities,
 
  a communications program that ensures that the Company’s policies and procedures are well understood throughout the organization,
 
  an extensive program of internal audits, with prompt follow-up, including reviews of separate operations and functions around the world, and
 
  the periodic evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our independent certified public accountants, KPMG LLP, have audited the annual financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. The independent auditors’ report expresses an informed judgment as to the fair presentation of the Company’s reported operating results, financial position and cash flows. Their judgment is based on the results of auditing procedures performed and such other tests that they deemed necessary, including their consideration of our internal control system.

We consider, and take appropriate action on, recommendations made by KPMG LLP and our internal auditors. We believe that our system of internal control is effective and adequate to accomplish the objectives discussed above.

Audit Committee’s Report

The Audit Committee reviews the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. In this context, the Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent auditors. The Committee has discussed significant accounting policies applied by the Company in its financial statements, as well as alternative treatments. Management represented to the Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent auditors. The Committee discussed with the independent auditors matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication With Audit Committees. In addition, the Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors’ independence from the Company and its management, including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees. The Committee has also considered whether the independent auditors’ non-audit services to the Company are compatible with the auditors’ independence. The Committee discussed with the Company’s internal and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Committee meets with the internal and independent auditors with and without management present to discuss the results of their examinations, the evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Committee has selected and the Board of Directors has ratified, subject to shareholder approval, the selection of the Company’s independent auditors.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Pfizer Inc:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger of Pfizer Inc and Warner-Lambert Company on June 19, 2000, which has been accounted for as a pooling of interests as described in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pfizer Inc and Subsidiary Companies as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2002, Pfizer Inc adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
PFIZER INC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

1.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.     Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include our parent company and all subsidiaries, including those operating outside the U.S. For subsidiaries operating outside the U.S., the financial information is included as of and for the year ended November 30 for each year. Substantially all unremitted earnings of international subsidiaries are free of legal and contractual restrictions. All significant transactions among our businesses have been eliminated. We made certain reclassifications to the 2001 and 2000 financial statements to conform to the 2002 presentation.

In preparing the financial statements, we use some estimates and assumptions that may affect reported amounts and disclosures. Estimates are used when accounting for sales discounts, allowances and incentives, depreciation, amortization, employee benefits, contingencies and asset valuations. We are also subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimated results, such as changes in the health care environment, competition, foreign exchange, litigation, legislation and regulations. These and other uncertainties are discussed in the accompanying financial review, which is unaudited, under the heading “Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results.”

On June 19, 2000, we completed our merger with Warner-Lambert Company (Warner-Lambert). The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests. As a result, we restated all prior period consolidated financial statements presented to reflect the combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows of both companies as if they had always been merged. Prior to the merger, the only significant transactions between Pfizer and Warner-Lambert occurred under the Lipitor marketing agreements. We have eliminated these transactions from the restated combined financial statements.

B.     New Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill are no longer amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. Separable intangible assets with finite lives continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Application of the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 did not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 142, we recorded the following non-cash pre-tax charges totaling $565 million ($410 million net of tax) (see note 9, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”):

  $536 million for the impairment provisions related to goodwill in our animal health business, which is included in the Pharmaceutical segment. This charge was determined in the second quarter of 2002 and reported as a one-time cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of the beginning of 2002.
 
  $29 million for the impairment provisions related to identifiable intangible assets in our consumer healthcare business ($5 million), which is included in the Consumer Products segment, our animal health business ($4 million), which is included in the Pharmaceutical segment and the Adams confectionery products business ($20 million), which is included as part of discontinued operations. This charge was determined in the first quarter of 2002 and reported as a one-time cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of the beginning of 2002.

On January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including those of discontinued operations, be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 also broadens the reporting of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and that will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction.

In 2002, we adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure (an amendment to FASB Statement No. 123). SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.

On January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-25, Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products which is codified within EITF Issue No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer. We reclassified our 2001 and 2000 consolidated statements of income to reflect the cost of certain sales incentives and other vendor consideration as a reduction in Revenue rather than Selling, informational and administrative expenses. These reclassifications have no effect on net income.

C.     Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include items almost as liquid as cash, such as certificates of deposit and time deposits with maturity periods of three months or less when purchased. If items meeting this definition are part of a larger investment pool, we classify them as Short-term investments.

D.     Inventories

We value inventories at cost or fair value, if lower. Cost is determined as follows:

  finished goods and work in process at average actual cost
 
  raw materials and supplies at average or latest actual cost

E.     Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets include:

  property, plant and equipment — These assets are recorded at original cost and increased by the cost of any significant improvements after purchase. We depreciate the cost evenly over the assets’ estimated useful lives. For tax purposes, accelerated depreciation methods are used as allowed by tax laws.
  goodwill — Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price of acquired businesses and the fair value of their net assets.
  other intangible assets — Other intangible assets are included in Other assets, deferred taxes and deferred charges. Other intangible assets with finite lives are amortized evenly over their estimated useful lives.

ANNUAL REPORT 2002

P 48


 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
PFIZER INC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

At least annually, we review all long-lived assets for impairment. When necessary, we record charges for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the present value of future cash flows, or some other fair value measure, is less than the carrying value of these assets.

F.     Foreign Currency Translation

For most international operations, local currencies have been determined to be their functional currencies. We translate assets and liabilities to their U.S. dollar equivalents at rates in effect at the balance sheet date and record translation adjustments in Shareholders’ equity. We translate statement of income accounts at average rates for the period and record these adjustments in Other (income)/deductions — net.

For operations in highly inflationary economies, we translate the balance sheet items as follows:

  monetary items (that is, assets and liabilities that will be settled for cash) at rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with translation adjustments recorded in Other (income)/deductions — net
 
  nonmonetary items at historical rates (that is, those rates in effect when the items were first recorded)

G.     Sales Recognition

Revenue Recognition — We record revenue from product sales when the goods are shipped and title passes to the customer.

Sales Incentives — We generally record sales incentives as a reduction of revenue at the time the related revenue is recorded or when the incentive is offered, whichever is later. We estimate the cost of the sales incentives based on our historical experience with similar incentive programs.

Sales Discounts and Rebates — Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers are recorded based on the terms of sale in the same period the related sales are recorded. We determine the provision for Medicaid discounts and contract rebates based on an estimate of reimbursable prescriptions filled for individuals covered by Medicaid or a provider with whom we contract. Other current liabilities include accruals for customer rebates of $1,003 million at December 31, 2002 and $685 million at December 31, 2001.

H.     Alliances

We have agreements to promote pharmaceutical products discovered by other companies. Revenue is earned when our copromotion partners ship the related products and title passes to their customer. Our alliance revenue is included in Revenues and is primarily based upon a percentage of our copro-motion partners’ net sales. Generally, expenses for selling and marketing these products are included in Selling, informational and administrative expenses.

Prior to the copromoted product receiving regulatory approval, we expense, as incurred, milestone payments made under these agreements and record them in Other (income )/deductions — net. Once the product receives regulatory approval, we record any subsequent milestone payments in Other assets, deferred taxes and deferred charges and amortize them evenly over the remaining license term or the expected product life cycle, whichever is shorter. On an ongoing basis, we review for impairment those milestone payments which have been recorded as assets.

I.     Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (R&D) costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses include the costs of our proprietary R&D efforts as well as costs incurred in connection with our third-party collaboration efforts. Pre-approval milestone payments made by us to third parties under contracted R&D arrangements are expensed when the specific milestone has been achieved. We have no third-party R&D arrangements that result in the recognition of revenue.

J.     Stock-Based Compensation

In accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, we elected to account for our stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

The exercise price of stock options granted equals the market price on the date of grant. There is no recorded expense related to grants of stock options.

We estimated the fair value of employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, modified for dividends and using the assumptions as described in note 18, “Stock Option and Performance Unit Awards”, as required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Black-Scholes model is a trading option-pricing model that neither considers the non-traded nature of employee stock options, nor considers the restrictions on trading, the lack of transferability or the ability of employees to forfeit the options prior to expiry. If the model adequately permitted considerations of the unique characteristics of employee stock options, the resulting estimate of the fair value of the stock option could be different.

The following table summarizes our results as if we had recorded compensation expense for the 2002, 2001 and 2000 option grants:

     K.     Advertising Expense

     We record advertising expenses as follows:

     •     production costs are expensed as incurred

     •     costs of radio time, television time and space in publications are expensed when the related advertising occurs

     Advertising expense totaled approximately $2,307 million in 2002, $2,157 million in 2001 and $2,455 million in 2000.

L.     Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in Selling, informational and administrative expenses. Shipping and handling costs totaled approximately $140 million in 2002, $146 million in 2001 and $133 million in 2000.

2.     MERGER ACTIVITIES

Merger of Pfizer and Warner-Lambert

On June 19, 2000, we completed our merger with Warner-Lambert. We issued approximately 2,440 million shares of our common stock for all the outstanding common stock of Warner-Lambert. The merger qualified as a tax-free reorganization and was accounted for as a pooling of interests under APB No. 16, Business Combinations.

Proposed Acquisition of Pharmacia Corporation

On July 15, 2002, we announced that we signed a definitive agreement to merge with Pharmacia Corporation (Pharmacia) in a stock-for-stock transaction valued on that date at approximately $60 billion. In December 2002, both Pfizer and Pharmacia shareholders approved the acquisition. The European Commission has approved our proposed acquisition of Pharmacia. We are awaiting approval by U.S. regulatory authorities. We expect the acquisition will close in the first quarter of 2003. Under terms of the merger agreement, upon close of the transaction we will exchange 1.4 shares of Pfizer common stock for each outstanding share of Pharmacia common stock in a tax-free transaction resulting in the issuance of approximately 2 billion shares of Pfizer common stock. We also will exchange options on 1.4 shares of Pfizer common stock for each outstanding Pharmacia option at the merger date. In addition, each share of Pharmacia convertible perpetual preferred stock will be exchanged for a share of a newly created class of Pfizer convertible perpetual preferred stock with rights substantially identical to the rights of the Pharmacia convertible perpetual preferred stock. The perpetual preferred stock will be convertible into approximately 16 million shares of Pfizer common stock.

In 2002, we have incurred approximately $33 million in transaction costs, including banking, legal, accounting and other costs directly related to our proposed acquisition of Pharmacia. At December 31, 2002, these costs are included in Other assets, deferred taxes and deferred charges. However, upon close of the acquisition, these amounts will become a part of the purchase price of Pharmacia. We have also incurred and expensed approximately $98 million of pre-integration costs associated with the proposed acquisition of Pharmacia. These costs are included in Merger-related costs.

The acquisition of Pharmacia could result in the divestiture of certain assets and operations, as required by regulatory agencies.

3.     MERGER-RELATED COSTS

We incurred the following merger-related costs in connection with our merger with Warner-Lambert in 2000 and our proposed acquisition of Pharmacia:

                         
(MILLIONS OF DOLLARS)   2002   2001   2000

*   Included in Other current liabilities.

Through December 31, 2002, the charges for employee termination costs represent the approved reduction of our work force of our continuing businesses by 7,961 people, mainly in administrative functions for corporate, manufacturing, distribution, sales and research. We notified affected individuals, and as of December 31, 2002, 7,321 employees had been terminated. Employee termination costs include accrued severance benefits and costs associated with change-in-control provisions of certain Warner-Lambert employment contracts. Under the terms of these contracts, certain terminated employees may elect to defer receipt of severance benefits. Severance benefits deferred for future payments were $218 million at December 31, 2002 and $215 million at December 31, 2001. The deferred severance benefits are considered utilized charges and are included in Other noncurrent liabilities.

The impairment and disposal charges through December 31, 2002 for property, plant and equipment include the consolidation of facilities and related fixed assets and the termination of certain software installation projects.

4.     DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

We sold or are in the process of selling the following businesses and product lines that do not fit our strategic goals:

  In December 2002, we sold our Tetra fish-care products business, formerly part of our Consumer Products segment to the Triton Fund, for $238.5 million in cash. We recognized a gain of $117 million ($77 million net of tax) on the sale in 2002.
 
  In December 2002, we entered into an agreement to sell the Adams confectionery products business, formerly part of our Consumer Products segment, to Cadbury Schweppes plc for $4.2 billion in cash.
 
  In January 2003, we entered into an agreement to sell the Schick-Wilkinson Sword shaving products business, formerly part of our Consumer Products segment, to Energizer Holdings Inc. for $930 million in cash.
 
  We decided to sell certain of our women’s health product lines (femhrt, Loestrin and Estrostep), formerly part of our Pharmaceutical segment.

The divestitures of the Adams and Schick-Wilkinson Sword businesses and the women’s health product lines are expected to close in the first half of 2003 and are subject to the usual regulatory approvals. These businesses and product lines are reflected as discontinued operations in 2002, 2001 and 2000.

The assets and liabilities of the Adams and Schick-Wilkinson Sword businesses (and the Tetra business in 2001) and the women’s health product lines follow:

6.     FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

A.     Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

In 2002, we reclassified substantially all of our held-to-maturity debt securities to available-for-sale debt securities. The amortized cost of the securities reclassified was $13,839 million and the unrealized gain on such securities was immaterial. We review the key characteristics of our debt securities portfolio on at least a quarterly basis. Upon completion of this review, we reclassified the securities because we no longer had the positive intent to hold such securities to maturity. As a result of this decision, any debt security that we may purchase over a two-year period, which began July 1, 2002, will not be classified as held-to-maturity.

B.     Short-Term Borrowings

The weighted average effective interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding at December 31 was 1.7% in 2002 and 2.4% in 2001. At December 31, 2002, we had approximately $2.9 billion of lines of credit that expire within one year. Of these lines of credit, $2.5 billion are unused, of which our lenders have committed to loan us $500 million at our request.

*   Includes unrealized gains and losses for debt with fair value hedges in 2002 and 2001 (see note 6-D, “Financial Instruments — Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities”).

The floating-rate unsecured notes bear interest at a defined variable rate based on the commercial paper borrowing rate. The weighted average interest rate of these notes was 1.5% at December 31, 2002 and 2.1% at December 31, 2001. These notes minimize credit risk on certain available-for-sale debt securities that may be used to satisfy the notes at maturity.

In 2002, we issued $600 million of senior unsecured notes, which pay interest annually, in arrears, beginning on April 15, 2003, at a rate of 5.625%.

In 2001, we issued the following unsecured notes under a $2.5 billion shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in October 2000:

  In October, we issued $600 million senior unsecured notes, which pay interest semi-annually, beginning on May 1, 2002, at a rate of 3.625%.
 
  In May, we issued 60 billion yen ($489 million at date of issuance) unsecured notes, which pay interest semi-annually, beginning on September 18, 2001, at a rate of .80%.
 
  In January, we issued $750 million senior unsecured notes, which pay interest semi-annually, beginning on August 1, 2001, at a rate of 5.625%.

The proceeds from the note issuances were used for general corporate purposes.

Long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2002 matures as follows:

In February 2003, we issued:

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

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

In connection with these debt issuances, we entered into:

  $300 million notional amount of interest rate swaps maturing in 2009; and
 
  $300 million notional amount of interest rate swaps maturing in 2018.

We designated these interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of the changes in the fair value of fixed rate debt. These swaps serve to reduce our exposure to long-term U.S. interest rates by effectively converting the fixed rates associated with the long-term debt to floating rates.

We have approximately $6.9 billion in available borrowings between unused lines of credit and debt securities under a shelf registration statement filed with the SEC.

D.     Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

PURPOSE

Foreign Exchange Risk

A significant portion of revenues, earnings and net investments in foreign affiliates are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. We seek to manage our foreign exchange risk in part through operational means, including managing expected local currency revenues in relation to local currency costs and local currency assets in relation to local currency liabilities. Foreign exchange risk is also managed through the use of derivative financial instruments and foreign currency denominated debt. These financial instruments serve to protect net income against the impact of the translation into U.S. dollars of certain foreign exchange denominated transactions. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the financial instruments employed to manage foreign exchange risk follow:

                     
            NOTIONAL AMOUNT    
            (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS)    
           
  MATURITY

Swaps   Fair value   Euro loans of a foreign subsidiary   104     Mid-2003

(1)   Primarily from intercompany transactions in euros, Japanese yen and Australian dollars in 2002 and euros, U.K. pounds and Japanese yen in 2001. As these forward contracts mature, we usually enter into similar term forward contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest-bearing investments, loans and borrowings are subject to interest rate risk. We invest and borrow primarily on a short-term or variable-rate basis. Interest rate risk is also managed through the use of derivative financial instruments. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the derivative financial instruments employed to manage interest rate risk follow:

                         
            NOTIONAL AMOUNT    
            (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS)    
           
  MATURITY

Swaps   Cash flow   “LIBOR” interest rate related to forecasted purchases of short-term fixed-rate debt(4)   95     95     2004


(1)   Serve to reduce variability by effectively fixing the maximum rates on short-term debt at 1.2%.
 
(2)   Serve to reduce variability by effectively fixing the maximum rates on short-term debt at .9%. These forward-starting swaps will effectively replace existing yen interest rate swaps upon maturity in 2003.
 
(3)   Serve to reduce exposure to long-term U.S. dollar interest rates by effectively converting fixed rates associated with long-term debt obligations to floating rates.
 
(4)   Serve to reduce the variability of LIBOR interest rates by effectively fixing the rates on short-term debt securities at 3.5%. Investments will be classified as “Available-for-Sale.”

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

All derivative contracts are reported at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in earnings or deferred, depending on the nature and effectiveness of the offset or hedging relationship, as follows:

Foreign Exchange Risk

  We recognize the earnings impact of foreign currency forward-exchange contracts during the terms of the contracts, along with the earnings impact of the items they generally offset.
 
  We recognize the earnings impact of foreign currency swaps designated as cash flow or fair value hedges upon the recognition of the foreign exchange gain or loss on the translation to U.S. dollars of the hedged item.
 
  We recognize the earnings impact of yen put options when the related inventory is sold to third-party customers.

Interest Rate Risk

  We recognize the earnings impact of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges upon the recognition of the interest related to the hedged short-term debt and available-for-sale debt securities.
 
  We recognize the earnings impact of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges upon the recognition of the change in fair value for interest rate risk related to the hedged long-term debt.

Any ineffectiveness in a hedging relationship is recognized immediately into earnings. There was no significant ineffectiveness in 2002 or 2001.

The financial statements include the following items related to the derivatives and other financial instruments serving as offsets or hedges:

Prepaid expenses and taxes includes:

•     fair value of foreign currency put options

Other assets, deferred taxes and deferred charges includes:

  fair value of forward-starting interest rate swaps in 2002 and interest rate swaps

Other current liabilities includes:

  fair value of foreign currency forward-exchange contracts
 
  fair value of foreign currency swaps

Other noncurrent liabilities includes:

•     fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges and fair value of foreign currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges
      in 2001

     Long-term debt includes:

  changes in the fair value of fixed rate debt hedged by interest rate swaps

Accumulated other comprehensive expense includes:

  changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps and forward-starting swaps designated as cash flow hedges and changes in the foreign exchange translation of yen debt and foreign currency put options
 
  changes in the fair value of foreign currency forward-exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges in 2002

Other (income)/deductions-net includes:

  changes in the fair value of foreign currency forward-exchange contracts
 
  changes in the fair value of foreign currency swap contracts that hedge foreign exchange
 
  changes in the fair value of interest rate swap contracts that hedge interest expense

E.     Fair Value

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of derivative and other financial instruments at the balance sheet date:

  short-term financial instruments (cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, held-to-maturity short-term investments and debt)-we use cost or contract value because of the short maturity period
 
  Available-for-sale debt securities — we use a valuation model that uses observable market quotes and credit ratings of the securities
 
  Derivative contracts — we use valuation models that use observable market quotes and our view of the creditworthiness of the derivative counterparty
 
  loans-we use cost because of the short interest-reset period
 
  held-to-maturity long-term investments and long-term debt — we use valuation models that use observable market quotes

     The differences between the estimated fair values and carrying values of our financial instruments were not material at December 31, 2002.

F.     Credit Risk

We periodically review the creditworthiness of counterparties to foreign exchange and interest rate agreements and do not expect to incur a loss from failure of any counterparties to perform under the agreements. In general, there is no requirement for collateral from customers. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk related to our financial instruments with any individual counterparty. At December 31, 2002, we had $2,885 million due from a broad group of banks around the world.

Amounts are reflected in the preceding tables based on the location of the taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2002, we have not made a U.S. tax provision on approximately $29 billion of unremitted earnings of our international subsidiaries. These earnings are expected, for the most part, to be reinvested overseas. It is not practical to compute the estimated deferred tax liability on these earnings.

We operate manufacturing subsidiaries in Puerto Rico that benefit from Puerto Rican incentive grants that expire at the end of 2015. Under the grants, we are partially exempt from income, property and municipal taxes. Under Section 936 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, Pfizer is a “grandfathered” entity and is entitled to the benefits under such statute until 2006.

Deferred taxes arise because of different treatment between financial statement accounting and tax accounting, known as “temporary differences.” We record the tax effect of these temporary differences as “deferred tax assets” (generally items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future periods) or “deferred tax liabilities” (generally items for which we received a tax deduction but that have not yet been recorded in the consolidated statement of income).

The tax effects of the major items recorded as deferred tax assets and liabilities are:

A valuation allowance is recorded because some items recorded as deferred tax assets may ultimately not be deductible or creditable. The foreign tax credit carryforwards were generated from dividends paid or deemed to be paid by subsidiaries to the parent company between 1998 and 2001. We can carry these credits forward for five years from the year of actual payment and apply them to certain U.S. tax liabilities.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed and closed its audits of our tax returns through 1998 and Warner-Lambert Company through 1995. The IRS is currently conducting audits of Pfizer Inc’s tax returns for the years 1999 and 2000 and Warner-Lambert Company for the years 1996 through 1998.

In November 1994, Belgian tax authorities notified Pfizer Research and Development Company N.V./S.A. (PRDCO), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of our company, of a proposed adjustment to the taxable income of PRDCO for fiscal year 1992 and, in January 1996, PRDCO received an assessment from the tax authorities for fiscal year 1993. On May 14, 2002, PRDCO reached an agreement with the Belgian authorities to settle this matter for an immaterial amount.

We believe that our accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years.

12.     BENEFIT PLANS

We provide defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans for the majority of employees worldwide. In the U.S., we have both qualified and supplemental (non-qualified) defined benefit plans. A qualified plan meets the requirements of certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code and enjoys special tax advantages. It typically provides benefits to a broad group of employees and may not discriminate in favor of highly compensated employees in its coverage, benefits or contributions. We also provide benefits through supplemental (non-qualified) retirement plans to certain employees. These supplemental plans, which are not generally funded, provide out of our general assets an amount substantially equal to the difference between the amounts that would have been payable under the qualified defined benefit pension plans, in the absence of legislation limiting pension benefits and earnings that may be considered in calculating pension benefits, and the amounts actually payable under the qualified defined benefit pension plans. In addition, we provide medical and life insurance benefits to retirees and their eligible dependents through our postretirement plans.

It is our practice to fund amounts for our qualified pension plans at least sufficient to meet the minimum requirements set forth in applicable employee benefit laws and local tax laws. Liabilities for amounts in excess of these funding levels are included in our consolidated balance sheet. Our U.S. qualified pension plans have been well-funded historically and the recent decline in the equity markets coupled with the decline in long-term interest rates has not caused our pension plans to require government-mandated funding. In 2002, we made voluntary contributions in excess of minimum requirements of $485 million to our U.S. qualified plans and $125 million to our U.K. pension plans.

Our plan assets comprise a diversified mix of investments consisting principally of stocks and fixed income securities. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, stocks represented 74% and 77% of the market value of

pension assets in our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans. Certain international subsidiaries have plans where accruals are provided or annuities are purchased under group contracts.

The major U.S. pension plans held approximately 8.7 million shares (fair value of approximately $265 million) at December 31, 2002 and 7.7 million shares (fair value of approximately $307 million) at December 31, 2001 of our common stock. The plans received approximately $4 million in dividends on these shares in 2002 and approximately $3 million in dividends in 2001.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The increase in the underfunded status of the pension plans in 2002 and 2001 results primarily from a continuing decrease in the discount rate used in calculating plan liabilities coupled with the effect on plan assets of the decline in global equity markets. The increase in unrecognized actuarial loss is largely reflective of this decline in global equity markets since the difference between the expected return and actual return in plan assets is largely deferred. A portion of the increase is also the result of using a lower discount rate to calculate the present value of our liabilities. In response to these developments, in 2002 we made voluntary contributions in excess of minimum requirements of $485 million to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans and $125 million to our U.K. pension plans. In 2001, we made a voluntary contribution in excess of minimum requirements of $385 million to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans.

Plans with an ABO in excess of plan assets are primarily our U.S. supplemental retirement plans which are not funded, as well as our plans in the U.K, Japan and Germany, whose liabilities are included in our consolidated balance sheet. Our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans which provide benefits to substantially all of our U.S. employees, had assets greater than their ABO at December 31, 2002.

Plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets are primarily our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans; U.S. supplemental (non-qualified) retirement plans, which are not generally funded; and our plans in the U.K., Japan and Germany, whose liabilities are included in our consolidated balance sheet.

We have savings and investment plans in several countries including the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Employees may contribute a portion of their salaries to the plans, and we match, in company stock, a portion of the employee contributions. The contribution and match for U.S. participants are held in an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) that was adopted in 2002. The value of our stock contributions were $139 million in 2002, $107 million in 2001 and $86 million in 2000.

13.     LEASE COMMITMENTS

We lease properties and equipment for use in our operations. In addition to rent, the leases may require us to pay directly for taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating expenses, or to pay higher rent when operating expenses increase. Rental expense, net of sublease income, was $341 million in 2002, $280 million in 2001 and $292 million in 2000. This table shows future minimum rental commitments under noncancellable operating leases at December 31, 2002:

14.     COMMON STOCK

In December 2002, our shareholders approved the issuance of up to 1.804 billion shares of our common stock to Pharmacia shareholders in connection with the proposed acquisition of Pharmacia. Also in 2002, we announced a new $16 billion share-purchase program (increased from the initial $10 billion) authorized by our board of directors. We will buy back our common stock via open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions as circumstances and prices warrant, with the anticipation of completing the share-purchase program in 2003. Under this current share-purchase program, we purchased approximately 102 million shares of common stock at an average price of $29.41 per share, at a total cost of approximately $3 billion, in 2002. In May 2002, we completed the share-purchase program authorized in June 2001. In total, under the June 2001 program we purchased 120 million shares at a total cost of approximately $4.8 billion. In 2002, under both the 2002 and 2001 programs, we purchased approximately 153 million shares of common stock at a total cost of approximately $5 billion. Purchased shares are available for general corporate purposes.

In 2001, we purchased approximately 68.5 million shares of our common stock in the open market at an average price of $40.83 per share under the June 2001 share-purchase program and approximately 20.3 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $42.72 per share under the September 1998 share-purchase program. In 2000,we purchased approximately 23.1 million shares of our common stock in the open market at an average price of $43.46 per share.

15.     PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS

Preferred Stock Purchase Rights have a scheduled term through October 2007, although the term may be extended or the rights may be redeemed prior to expiration. One right was issued for each share of common stock issued by our company. These rights are not exercisable unless certain change-in-control events transpire, such as a person acquiring or obtaining the right to acquire beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock or an announcement of a tender offer for at least 30% of our stock. The rights are evidenced by corresponding common stock certificates and automatically trade with the common stock unless an event transpires that makes them exercisable. If the rights become exercisable, separate certificates evidencing the rights will be distributed and each right will entitle the holder to purchase a new series of preferred stock at a defined price from our company. The preferred stock, in addition to preferred dividend and liquidation rights, will entitle the holder to vote with the company’s common stock.

The rights are redeemable by us at a fixed price until 10 days, or longer as determined by the board of directors, after certain defined events, or at any time prior to the expiration of the rights.

We have reserved 3.0 million preferred shares to be issued pursuant to these rights. No such shares have yet been issued. At the present time, the rights have no dilutive effect on the earnings per common share calculation.

16.     EMPLOYEE BENEFIT TRUST

The Pfizer Inc. Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) was established in 1999 to fund our employee benefit plans through the use of its holding of Pfizer Inc. stock. The consolidated balance sheet reflects the fair value of the shares owned by the EBT as a reduction of Shareholders’ equity.

17.     EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per common share were computed using the following common share data:

                           
(MILLIONS OF SHARES)   2002   2001   2000

 
 
 
Basic:

    6,156       6,239       6,210  
 
 
   
     
     
 
Diluted:
                       
 
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding
    6,156       6,239       6,210  
 
Common share equivalents — stock options and stock issuable under employee compensation plans

Weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
    6,241       6,361       6,368  
 
 
   
     
     
 

Stock options and stock issuable under employee compensation plans representing equivalents of 244 million shares of common stock during 2002 and 136 million shares of common stock during 2001 had exercise prices greater than the average market price of Pfizer common stock. These common stock equivalents were outstanding during 2002 and 2001, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for those years because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect. There were no anti-dilutive common stock equivalents during 2000.

18.     STOCK OPTION AND PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARDS

We have stock and incentive plans related to employees that allow for stock options, performance unit awards and stock awards.

We may grant stock options to employees, including officers, under the plans. Options are exercisable after five years or less, subject to continuous employment and certain other conditions, and expire 10 years after the grant date. Once exercisable, the employee can purchase shares of our common stock at the market price on the date we granted the option. The 1996 Stock Plan, a former Warner-Lambert plan, provided that, in the event of a change in control of Warner-Lambert, stock options already granted became exercisable immediately.

The following shares were available for award (in thousands) at:

•     December 31, 2000           137,248

•     December 31, 2001           249,572

•     December 31, 2002           178,626

The tax benefits related to certain stock option transactions were $238 million in 2002, $395 million in 2001 and $1,306 million in 2000.

The weighted-average fair value per stock option granted was $12.58 for 2002, $15.12 for 2001 and $11.12 for 2000. We estimated the fair values using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, modified for dividends and using the following assumptions:

In 2001, our shareholders approved a new Performance-Contingent Share Award Plan (the Plan) allowing a maximum of 12.5 million shares to be awarded. The Plan replaces the Performance-Contingent Share Award Program (the Program) that was established and became effective in 1993 to provide executives and other key employees the right to earn common stock awards. Similar to the previous Program, determination of award payouts under the Plan is made after the performance period ends, based upon specific performance criteria. Under the previous Program, up to 120 million shares could be awarded. The actual number of shares awarded and pending under the previous Program since its approval is 21 million shares. At December 31, 2002, participants had the right to earn up to 8.0 million shares under the previous Program and up to 2.8 million additional shares under the new Plan. Awards for performance periods beginning prior to January 1, 2002 will be made under the previous Program. Awards for performance periods beginning January 1, 2002 will be made under the new Plan. Under the previous Program, we awarded approximately 2.0 million shares in 2002, approximately 1.7 million shares in 2001 and approximately 2.3 million shares in 2000. We did not award any shares under the new Plan as of December 31, 2002. Compensation expense related to the previous Program and to the new Plan was $36 million in 2002, $94 million in 2001 and $170 million in 2000.

We entered into forward-purchase contracts that offset the potential impact on net income of our liability under the Program. At settlement date we will, at the option of the counterparty to each of the contracts, either receive our own stock or settle the contracts for cash. Other contract terms are as follows:

19.     INSURANCE

Our insurance coverage reflects market conditions (including cost and availability) existing at the time it is written, and the relationship of insurance coverage to self-insurance varies accordingly. As a result of recent external events, the cost of insurance has risen substantially and the availability of insurance has become more restrictive. Thus, depending upon the cost of insurance and the nature of the risk involved, the amount of self-insurance may be significant. We consider the impact of these changes as we continually assess the best way to provide for our insurance needs in the future.

20.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

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

Among the principal matters pending to which we are a party are the following:

PATENT MATTERS

We are involved in a number of patent suits, the majority of which involve claims by generic drug manufacturers that patents covering our products, processes or dosage forms are invalid and/or do not cover the product of the generic manufacturer. Pending suits include generic challenges to patents covering, among other products, amlodipine (Norvasc), gabapentin (Neurontin), fluconazole (Diflucan), nifedipine (Procardia XL) and quinapril (Accupril). In addition, counterclaims in these suits as well as various independent actions (in connection with gabapentin and nifedipine) have been filed claiming that our assertions of or attempts to enforce our patent rights constitute unfair competition and/or violations of the antitrust laws. With respect to Zoloft and Lipitor, generic companies are challenging certain of our patents; however, due to the existence of additional patents, the outcome of these challenges will not affect the timing of generic competition with these products.

Norvasc (amlodipine)

A manufacturer has filed an application with the FDA seeking approval to market amlodipine maleate, a different salt form from amlodipine besylate, which is employed in our product, Norvasc. The basic patent for Norvasc received an extension of term under the Hatch-Waxman Act. The manufacturer asserts that during the period of extension the exclusionary rights of the patent are restricted to amlodipine besylate and that, after the original February 2003 expiration date, sales of amlodipine maleate would not infringe our patent. In June 2002, we filed a patent infringement suit against the manufacturer in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The manufacturer’s motion to dismiss the complaint was granted in December 2002, and we have appealed that decision. If our appeal is not successful and the manufacturer’s product is approved and marketed, our sales of Norvasc could be subject to competition from the amlodipine maleate product. We believe that our pediatric exclusivity would preclude the manufacturer from marketing an amlodipine maleate product until August 2003 even if its position regarding the scope of the patent during the extension period is upheld in litigation. A different manufacturer has filed an abbreviated new drug application with the FDA seeking to market a generic version of amlodipine besylate, asserting the invalidity of our amlodipine patents. We also filed a patent infringement suit against that manufacturer in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in October 2002.

Neurontin (gabapentin)

In 2000, Warner-Lambert brought patent infringement suits in various federal courts against several generic manufacturers that have filed abbreviated new drug applications with the FDA asserting the invalidity and non-infringement of our gabapentin (Neurontin) low-lactam patent. These suits have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The defendants have filed various summary judgment motions asserting invalidity and non-infringement on a number of grounds, and responses have been filed. The 30-month stay of FDA approval triggered by the lawsuits has expired with respect to some of these generic manufacturers and will expire as to the others in 2003; and each of these generic manufacturers has received an approvable letter from the FDA. Counterclaims in these suits as well as various independent actions have been filed claiming that our assertions of or attempts to enforce rights under our patents for gabapentin constitute unfair competition and/or violations of the antitrust laws. These counterclaims and independent actions have been consolidated in the same federal court and stayed pending the outcome of the patent infringement suits. In addition, on February 5, 2003, Warner-Lambert brought a patent infringement suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against another generic manufacturer alleging infringement of our gabapentin (Neurontin) low- lactam patent and another patent.

Diflucan (fluconazole)

Our suit against a generic manufacturer alleging infringement of our patent on fluconazole (Diflucan), filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in 2000, resulted in our obtaining a summary judgment of infringement. After entry of a consent judgment, the case was settled without adverse effect to the Company. Following the decision in Illinois, we brought suit against another generic manufacturer in May 2002 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that such manufacturer’s intention to produce fluconazole (Diflucan) would infringe the same Pfizer patent that was involved in the Illinois case.

Celebrex, Bextra (celecoxib, valdecoxib)

In 2000, the University of Rochester filed a patent infringement action against Pfizer, G.D. Searle & Co., Inc., Monsanto Co., and Pharmacia Corporation, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, alleging that sales of Celebrex infringe the broad method of use claims of the University’s patent. The suit also alleges infringement by Bextra. Summary judgment motions were filed by both sides in 2002 and are awaiting decision.

PRODUCT LIABILITY MATTERS

Rezulin

The Rezulin litigation arises from a diabetes drug developed by Sankyo in Japan and by Warner-Lambert. Rezulin was reported to have been prescribed to approximately two million patients. The medication treated insulin resistance, which is the cause of type 2 diabetes, and was effective for many patients whose diabetes had not been controlled with other medications. We believe that the FDA-approved labeling and warnings appropriately communicated the risks associated with the medication, including the risk of liver injury, which occurred in a small percentage of patients. Rezulin was voluntarily withdrawn by Warner-Lambert in March 2000 following approval of two newer diabetes medications, which the FDA considered to have similar efficacy and fewer side effects.

As of December 31, 2002, suits involving approximately 8,700 alleged users of Rezulin had been filed in various federal and state courts. Many of these suits are at a preliminary stage. In the vast majority of these cases, we have not yet obtained and reviewed complete information regarding the plaintiffs and their medical conditions, and consequently, we are unable to fully evaluate the claims. A number of cases have been settled, and a smaller number have been tried, producing verdicts both for and against Warner-Lambert. We have appealed and will continue to appeal verdicts rendered in favor of plaintiffs that we believe are inappropriate and that have not otherwise been resolved. The cases pending in federal courts have all been consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a single multi-district litigation assigned to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of NewYork. On September 12, 2002, the court denied the plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class of allegedly injured Rezulin users seeking money damages and a subclass of uninjured users seeking medical monitoring and damages for alleged consumer fraud or restitution of amounts they paid for Rezulin. A number of the cases pending in state courts are purported class actions.

In addition, as of December 31, 2002, approximately 1,000 alleged users of Rezulin had asserted claims, but had not filed suits, against the Company. Also, as of December 31, 2002, we had agreed with certain plaintiffs’ lawyers to extend the statute of limitations for approximately 31,000 individuals who do not have lawsuits on file and who may or may not eventually pursue claims. We are unable to determine how many, if any, of these individuals may be able to assert claims for Rezulin-related injury.

We are actively engaged in defending these various lawsuits and, where appropriate, resolving the suits and claims. As in most mass tort litigation, the cases present a wide variety of claims, ranging from allegations of serious injury caused by Rezulin to efforts to obtain compensation notwithstanding the absence of any injury at all. Based on the information available to us at this time, only a small percentage of the claimants have suffered any serious or permanent injury caused by the medication. We are not aware of any reliable evidence supporting a conclusion that Rezulin had any adverse latent effect.

One of our insurance carriers that provides the first layer of excess coverage for these Rezulin claims has denied coverage. We believe that the carrier’s position is without merit. If we are unable to resolve the matter satisfactorily with the carrier, we intend to initiate an arbitration proceeding to resolve the dispute and we would expect to prevail.

A federal grand jury in Maryland has sought documents relating to Rezulin from us and testimony from former Warner-Lambert employees. We are cooperating fully with this investigation.

Asbestos

In the 1960s, Pfizer acquired two businesses, the Gibsonburg Lime Products Company and Quigley Company, Inc., that sold, among other things, products containing small amounts of asbestos. The sale of these products was discontinued in the early 1970s. Gibsonburg Lime was operated as an unincorporated division of Pfizer, whereas Quigley has been and continues to be a separately incorporated subsidiary of Pfizer. As of December 31, 2002, approximately 128,000 claims naming Pfizer and/or Quigley and numerous other defendants were pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged asbestos exposure. The majority of these claims involve alleged activities of Quigley, for which any liability is solely the responsibility of Quigley. While Quigley continues to have insurance covering asbestos claims, that insurance is limited and going forward contains substantial self-insurance aspects. Quigley has conducted no active trade or business since 1992. Its sole activity is management of its asbestos-related claims.

Between 1967 and 1982, Warner-Lambert owned American Optical Corporation, which manufactured and sold respiratory protective devices and asbestos safety clothing. In connection with the sale of American Optical in 1982, Warner-Lambert agreed to indemnify the purchaser for certain liabilities, including certain asbestos-related and other claims. As of December 31, 2002, approximately 103,000 claims naming American Optical and numerous other defendants were pending in various federal and state courts seeking damages for alleged asbestos and other exposures. Several of the insurance carriers that provided coverage for the American Optical asbestos and other claims have denied coverage. We believe that these carriers’ position is without merit and have initiated legal proceedings against such carriers.

Based upon available data and our experience in handling asbestos claims, we believe that a substantial portion of the plaintiffs alleging injury from Pfizer, Quigley and American Optical products do not have any impairing medical condition. For those claimants who do, we believe we have meritorious defenses.

OTHER MATTERS

Environmental Matters

We are a party to a number of proceedings brought under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA or Superfund) and comparable state laws in which the primary relief sought is the cost of past and future remediation.

Neurontin

The U.S. Attorney’s office in Boston, Massachusetts has been conducting an investigation into Warner-Lambert’s promotion of Neurontin. The investigation originated with a qui tam lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts by a former Warner-Lambert employee, alleging that Warner-Lambert violated the Federal False Claims Act based on certain sales and marketing practices concerning Neurontin. These allegations are also under review by a group of state attorneys general. We continue to cooperate fully with these inquiries. While it is possible that criminal charges and fines and/or civil penalties could result from these investigations, we are unable to estimate the amount of any such fines or penalties. These allegations also are the subject of a suit filed by certain individuals in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia in June 2002 and a suit filed by the Congress of California Seniors, et al., in the Superior Court of California for Los Angeles County in February 2003.

Zithromax

The previously reported investigation by a coalition of nineteen state attorneys general into the promotion of Zithromax for otitis media has been concluded by our entering into an assurance of voluntary compliance that included the payment of $6 million to cover investigation costs and to fund certain public service announcements.

Average Wholesale Price Litigation

On September 10, 2002, we were named as a defendant in a purported consolidated class action that previously had been pending in a multi-district proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The amended complaint alleges that Pfizer and other pharmaceutical manufacturers defrauded the plaintiff health care insurers and payors by selling certain products at prices lower than the published average wholesale price at which the products were reimbursed by the plaintiffs. We also were named as a defendant in suits involving substantially similar allegations in the Superior Court of California for Los Angeles County on September 26, 2002, and in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York on January 17, 2003.

MERGER LITIGATION

Warner-Lambert Acquisition

The previously reported shareholder class and derivative suits filed in New Jersey and Delaware in respect of Pfizer’s acquisition of Warner-Lambert, which generally alleged that Warner-Lambert directors breached their fiduciary obligations to Warner-Lambert shareholders in connection with the initial agreement to merge with American Home Products and then with Pfizer, have all been resolved and dismissed.

Pharmacia Acquisition

Following the announcement on July 15, 2002 of our agreement to acquire Pharmacia Corporation, a suit was filed in the Delaware Chancery Court on behalf of a purported class of Pharmacia’s shareholders against Pharmacia and its directors and Pfizer. The suit alleges that the price to be paid for Pharmacia’s shares was inadequate as a result of the breach by Pharmacia’s directors of their fiduciary duties to the Pharmacia shareholders and that Pfizer aided and abetted the alleged breach. The complaint, which we believe to be without merit, seeks damages and injunctive relief.

21. SEGMENT, GEOGRAPHIC AND REVENUE INFORMATION

We operate in the following two business segments:

  pharmaceutical — including:

    treatments for cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, central nervous system disorders, diabetes, arthritis, urogenital conditions and allergies, as well as the manufacture of empty soft-gelatin capsules
 
    products for livestock and companion animals

  consumer products — including self-medications for:

    oral care, upper respiratory health, eye care, skin care and gastro-intestinal health

Each separately managed segment offers different products requiring different marketing and distribution strategies.

We sell our products primarily to customers in the wholesale sector. In 2002, sales to our three largest wholesalers represented 45% of total revenues. These sales were concentrated in the pharmaceutical segment.

Revenues exceeded $500 million in each of seven countries outside the U.S. in 2002. The U.S. was the only country to contribute more than 10% of total revenues. The following tables present segment, geographic and revenue information:

All financial information reflects our confectionery, shaving and fish-care products businesses, as well as the femhrt, Loestrin and Estrostep women’s health product lines, as discontinued operations.

The 2001 data was reclassified to reflect the reclassifications between Revenues and Costs and expenses as a result of the January 1, 2002 adoption of EITF Issue No. 00-25, Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products — codified within EITF Issue No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer.

In the second quarter of 2001, we brought the accounting methodology pertaining to accruals for estimated liabilities related to Medicaid discounts and contract rebates of Warner-Lambert Company (Warner-Lambert) into conformity with our historical method. This adjustment increased revenues in the second quarter of 2001 by $175 million.

Merger-related costs include transaction, integration and restructuring costs related to our merger with Warner-Lambert.

2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 data was reclassified to reflect reclassifications between Revenues and Other costs and expenses of $108 million in 2001, $105 million in 2000, $226 million in 1999 and $214 million in 1998 as a result of the January 1, 2002 adoption of EITF
Issue No. 00-25, Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products. We have not reclassified periods prior to 1998 for EITF Issue No. 00-25. After we reorganized our financial systems due to the merger with Warner-Lambert Company (Warner-Lambert), the level of detail necessary to develop an EITF 00-25 amount for periods prior to 1998 was no longer available.

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

We have restated all common share and per share data for the 1999 three-for-one stock split.

(1)   In 2001, we brought the accounting methodology pertaining to accruals for estimated liabilities related to Medicaid discounts and contract rebates of Warner-Lambert into conformity with our historical method. This adjustment increased revenues in 2001 by $175 million.
 
(2)   Merger-related costs include the following:
 
    2002 — Integration costs of $345 million and restructuring charges of $187 million related to our merger with Warner-Lambert in 2000 and pre-integration costs of $98 million related to our proposed acquisition of Pharmacia.
 
    2001 — Integration costs of $456 million and restructuring charges of $363 million related to our merger with Warner-Lambert in 2000.
 
    2000 — Transaction costs directly related to our merger with Warner-Lambert of $226 million; costs related to Warner-Lambert’s termination of the Warner-Lambert/American Home Products merger of $1,838 million; integration costs of $242 million and restructuring charges of $917 million.
 
    1999 — Transaction costs directly related to the merger with Agouron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. of $33 million.
 
(3)   In 2002, as a result of adopting SFAS No. 142, we recorded pre-tax charges of $565 million ($410 million net of tax).
 
(4)   Total assets for 2002, 2001 and 2000 include assets held for sale of our confectionery and shaving businesses (and the Tetra business in 2001 and 2000) as well as the femhrt, Loestrin and Estrostep women’s health product lines. Total assets in 1997 include net assets of discontinued operations of our MTG businesses.
 
(5)   Defined as long-term debt, deferred taxes on income, minority interests and shareholders’ equity.
 
(6)   Cash dividends paid per common share for years prior to our merger with Warner-Lambert in 2000 are those of Pfizer.
