Accompanying presentation can be found at www.pfizer.com/investors.

Full-Year 2024 Revenue, Adjusted(5) SI&A, Adjusted(5) R&D and Adjusted(5) Diluted EPS Guidance Ranges(1)(6)

Pfizer expects full-year 2024 revenues to be in the range of $58.5 to $61.5 billion, which includes approximately $8 billion in anticipated revenues for Comirnaty(2) and Paxlovid, approximately $3.1 billion in anticipated revenues from Seagen and approximately $1 billion related to the reclassification of Pfizer’s royalty income from Other (Income)/Deductions into the Revenue line. Including the contribution from Seagen and excluding revenues from Comirnaty(2) and Paxlovid, Pfizer expects to achieve full-year 2024 operational(3) revenue growth of 8% to 10%. Excluding revenues from Comirnaty(2) and Paxlovid and the expected contribution from Seagen, Pfizer expects to achieve full-year 2024 operational(3) revenue growth of 3% to 5%. Both expected operational(3) growth rate ranges are compared with the mid-point of Pfizer’s full-year 2023 revenue guidance range provided on October 31, 2023, and account for the reclassification of royalty income. While the company will begin reporting royalty income in the revenue line in 2024, for growth rate purposes, the company has included royalty income in both 2023 and 2024. Consequently, there is no operational revenue growth attributable to the reclassification of royalty income.

Including the impact of Seagen, Pfizer anticipates full-year 2024 Adjusted(5) SI&A expenses to be in the range of $13.8 billion to $14.8 billion and full-year 2024 Adjusted(5) R&D expenses to be in the range of $11.0 to $12.0 billion. Consequently, total 2024 Adjusted(5) SI&A and R&D expenses are expected to be in the range of $24.8 to $26.8 billion. This range reflects an anticipated decline of approximately $4 billion by the end of 2024 and represents an incremental $500 million expense reduction versus the midpoint of Pfizer’s SI&A and R&D expense guidance provided on August 1, 2023, solely driven by Pfizer’s cost realignment program. 2024 Adjusted(5) diluted EPS is anticipated to be in a range of $2.05 to $2.25, which primarily reflects expected operational(3) growth of 8%-10% in revenues, excluding Comirnaty(2) and Paxlovid, and including the impact of Seagen, as well as anticipated operating margin improvement from the company’s cost realignment activities, partially offset by an expected $0.40 dilutive impact related to the Seagen acquisition, which is predominantly driven by costs to finance the transaction.

A reconciliation of Pfizer’s 2023 Financial Guidance to its 2024 Financial Guidance(1)(6), including certain significant factors impacting 2024 Financial Guidance, is presented below.

Seagen Acquisition

As announced on December 12, 2023, Pfizer and Seagen have received all required regulatory approvals for the closing of the acquisition. Pfizer expects to complete the acquisition of Seagen on December 14, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Executive Commentary

Dr. Albert Bourla, Pfizer Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Pfizer’s product portfolio remains strong. In 2024, Comirnaty and Paxlovid are expected to deliver combined revenues of approximately $8 billion and our remaining portfolio of combined Pfizer and Seagen products is expected to achieve year-over-year operational revenue growth in the range of 8% to 10%.

“In addition, we expect our cost realignment program to deliver savings of at least $4.0 billion by the end of 2024, which puts us on a path to potentially regain our pre-pandemic operating margins.

“We look forward to joining forces with Seagen and using our combined strengths to bring us ever closer to delivering long promised cures for certain cancers.”

Pfizer intends to provide additional commentary in an analyst webcast scheduled for 8:30 a.m. EST, Wednesday, December 13, 2023, details can be found at www.pfizer.com/investors.

  1. Pfizer does not provide guidance for GAAP Reported financial measures (other than revenues and in 2023 acquired in-process R&D [IPR&D] expenses) or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP Reported financial measures on a forward-looking basis because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of unusual gains and losses, certain acquisition-related expenses, gains and losses from equity securities, actuarial gains and losses from pension and postretirement plan remeasurements, potential future asset impairments and pending litigation without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP Reported results for the guidance period.
  2. As used in this document, “Comirnaty” refers to, as applicable, and as authorized or approved, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent (Original and Omicron BA.4/BA.5), Comirnaty (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA, 2023-2024 Formula), the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (2023-2024 Formula), Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.1, Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4/BA.5 and Comirnaty XBB.1.5. “Comirnaty” includes direct sales and alliance revenues related to sales of the above-mentioned vaccines, which are recorded within Pfizer’s Primary Care customer group. It does not include revenues for certain Comirnaty-related manufacturing activities performed on behalf of BioNTech, which are included in the Pfizer CentreOne contract development and manufacturing organization.
  3. References to operational variances in this press release pertain to period-over-period changes that exclude the impact of foreign exchange rates. Although exchange rate changes are part of Pfizer’s business, they are not within Pfizer’s control, and because they can mask positive or negative trends in the business, Pfizer believes presenting operational variances excluding these foreign exchange changes provides useful information to evaluate Pfizer’s results.
  4. Revenues is defined as revenues in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Reported net income and its components are defined as net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders and its components in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) is defined as diluted EPS attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
  5. Adjusted income and Adjusted diluted EPS are defined as U.S. GAAP net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders and Reported diluted EPS attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders before the impact of amortization of intangible assets, certain acquisition-related items, discontinued operations, and certain significant items. Adjusted income and its components and Adjusted diluted EPS measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for U.S. GAAP net income and its components and diluted EPS(4), have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Adjusted Income section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Pfizer’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a definition of each component of Adjusted income as well as other relevant information.
  6. Financial guidance for full-year 2024 reflects the following:
  • Exchange rates assumed are actual rates at mid-November 2023
  • Guidance for Adjusted(5) diluted EPS assumes diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 5.75 billion shares, and assumes no share repurchases in 2024.
