‌CAPITAL ALLOCATION
During the first three months of 2025, Pfizer deployed its capital in a variety of ways, which primarily included:
-
Reinvesting capital into initiatives intended to enhance the future growth prospects of the company, including:
-
$2.2 billion invested in internal research and development projects, and -
Approximately
$90 million invested in business development transactions.
-
-
Returning capital directly to shareholders through
$2.4 billion of cash dividends, or$0.43 per share of common stock.No share repurchases have been completed to date in 2025. As of
April 29, 2025 , Pfizer's remaining share repurchase authorization is$3.3 billion . Current financial guidance does not anticipate any share repurchases in 2025. Pfizer has actively de-levered and as ofMarch 30, 2025 is below our previously stated gross leverage(7)target. The company expects to continue to de-lever in a prudent manner in order to maintain a balanced capital allocation strategy. This includes maintaining the flexibility to deploy capital towards potential value-creating business development transactions and the potential to retucapital to shareholders through share repurchases.Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of 5,710 million and 5,697 million were used to calculate Reported(2)and Adjusted(3)diluted EPS for first-quarter 2025 and 2024, respectively.
‌QUARTERLY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (First-Quarter 2025 vs. First-Quarter 2024)
First-quarter 2025 revenues totaled
$13.7 billion , a decrease of$1.2 billion , or 8%, compared to the prior-year quarter, reflecting an operational decrease of$908 million , or 6%, as well as an unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of$256 million , or 2%. The operational decrease was primarily driven by a decline in Paxlovid revenues, partially offset by growth from the Vyndaqel family, Comirnaty(8), and several other products across categories despite the unfavorable impact of higher manufacturer discounts resulting from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Medicare Part D Redesign.First-quarter 2025 operational revenue reflected higher revenues primarily for:
-
Vyndaqel family (Vyndaqel, Vyndamax, Vynmac) globally, up 33% operationally, driven largely by strong demand with continuing uptake in patient diagnosis, primarily in the
U.S. and international developed markets; partially offset by lower net price in theU.S. mostly due to the impact of higher manufacturer discounts resulting from the IRA Medicare Part D Redesign; -
Comirnaty(8)globally, up 62% operationally, driven primarily by higher revenues in the
U.S. reflecting lower expected returns and higher market share, as well as higher contractual deliveries in certain international markets; -
Padcev globally, up 25% operationally, driven primarily by increased market share in first-line metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC);
-
Nurtec ODT/Vydura globally, up 40% operationally, driven primarily by strong demand in the
U.S. and favorable changes in channel mix and, to a much lesser extent, recent launches in certain international markets; and -
Lorbrena globally, up 39% operationally, driven primarily by increased patient share in the first-line ALK-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (ALK+ mNSCLC) treatment setting in the
U.S. ,China , and certain other international markets;more than offset primarily by lower revenues for:
-
Paxlovid globally, down
$1.5 billion or 75% operationally, mostly driven by the U.S. market in part due to the non-recurrence of the$771 million favorable final adjustment(9)recorded in the first quarter of 2024 to the estimated non-cash revenue reversal of$3.5 billion recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decline was also attributable to both (i) lower COVID-19 infections acrossU.S. and international markets and (ii) lower international government purchases; -
Eliquis globally, down 4% operationally, driven primarily by lower net price in the
U.S. including the impact of higher manufacturer discounts resulting from the IRA Medicare Part D Redesign; partially offset by strong underlying demand as well as higher revenues in international markets partly due to timing of shipments; -
Xeljanz globally, down 31% operationally, mostly driven by lower net price in the
U.S. due to unfavorable changes in channel mix as well as the impact of higher manufacturer discounts resulting from the IRA Medicare Part D Redesign; and -
Ibrance globally, down 6% operationally, driven primarily by generic entry and timing of shipments in certain international markets, as well as lower net price in the
U.S. mostly due to the impact of higher manufacturer discounts resulting from the IRA Medicare Part D Redesign.

First-quarter 2025 Cost of Sales(2)as a percentage of revenues decreased by 2.0 percentage points compared to the prior-year quarter, driven primarily by a favorable revision of our estimate of accrued royalties and the favorable impact of foreign exchange, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of changes in sales mix as well as the non-recurrence of the Paxlovid favorable final adjustment(9)recorded in the first quarter of 2024 to the estimated non-cash revenue reversal recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023.
First-quarter 2025 SI&A Expenses(2)decreased 12% operationally compared with the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting ongoing productivity improvements that drove a decrease in marketing and promotional spend for various products and lower spending in corporate enabling functions, as well as lower spending on COVID-19 products.
First-quarter 2025 R&D Expenses(2)decreased 11% operationally compared with the prior-year quarter, driven primarily by a net decrease in spending due to pipeline focus and optimization, as well as lower compensation-related expenses.
The unfavorable period-over-period change in Other (income)/deductions-net(2)of
Pfizer's effective tax rate on Reported(2)income for the first quarter of 2025 is negative, primarily due to favorable global income tax resolutions in multiple tax jurisdictions spanning multiple tax years, as well as a favorable change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings.

Pfizer does not provide guidance for
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) Reported financial measures (other than revenues) 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.Financial guidance for full-year 2025 reflects the following:
-
Does not assume the completion of any business development transactions not completed as of
March 30, 2025 . -
An anticipated unfavorable revenue impact of approximately
$0.6 billion due to recent and expected generic and biosimilar competition for certain products that have recently lost patent or regulatory protection or that are anticipated to lose patent or regulatory protection. -
Exchange rates assumed are a blend of actual rates in effect through first-quarter 2025 and
mid-April 2025 rates for the remainder of the year. -
Guidance for Adjusted(3)diluted EPS assumes diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 5.74 billion shares, and assumes no share repurchases in 2025.
-
Does not currently include any potential impact related to future tariffs and trade policy changes, which we are unable to predict at this time.
-
-
Revenues is defined as revenues in accordance with
U.S. GAAP. Reported net income and its components are defined as net income attributable toPfizer Inc. common shareholders and its components in accordance withU.S. GAAP. Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) is defined as diluted EPS attributable toPfizer Inc. common shareholders in accordance withU.S. GAAP. -
Adjusted income and Adjusted diluted EPS are defined as
U.S. GAAP net income attributable toPfizer Inc. common shareholders andU.S. GAAP diluted EPS attributable toPfizer Inc. common shareholders before the impact of amortization of intangible assets, certain acquisition-related items, discontinued operations and certain significant items. See the accompanying reconciliations of certain GAAP Reported to Non-GAAP Adjusted information for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024. Adjusted income and its components and Adjusted diluted EPS measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes forU.S. GAAP net income and its components and diluted EPS(2). 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 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the accompanying Non-GAAP Financial Measure: AdjustedIncome section of this press release for a definition of each component of Adjusted income as well as other relevant information.
-
Approximately
$4.5 billion of overall net cost savings from Pfizer's ongoing cost realignment program are expected to be achieved by the end of 2025. An additional approximately$1.2 billion of anticipated net cost savings is expected to be fully achieved by the end of 2027. The net cost savings are calculated versus the midpoint of Pfizer's 2023 SI&A and R&D expense guidance provided onAugust 1, 2023 . -
References to operational variances in this press release pertain to period-over-period changes that exclude the impact of foreign exchange rates. Although foreign 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.
-
Pfizer's fiscal year-end for international subsidiaries is
November 30 while Pfizer's fiscal year-end forU.S. subsidiaries isDecember 31 . Therefore, Pfizer's first quarter forU.S. subsidiaries reflects the three months ended onMarch 30, 2025 andMarch 31, 2024 , while Pfizer's first quarter for subsidiaries operating outside theU.S. reflects the three months ended onFebruary 23, 2025 andFebruary 25, 2024 . -
Gross leverage (Adjusted Debt to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA ratio) is determined by comparing our total debt (including short-term borrowings, long-term debt, repatriation tax, and lease liabilities (short- and longterm)) as of
March 30, 2025 to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is determined by making the following adjustments to GAAP Income from continuing operations before provision/(benefit) for taxes on income: (i) adding net interest expense, depreciation & amortization, acquisition-related charges, restructuring charges and asset impairment charges; and (ii) adjusting by actuarial valuation and other pension and postretirement plan gains/(losses), gains/(losses) on equity securities, and certain other certain significant items. -
As used in this document, "Comirnaty" refers to, as applicable, and as authorized or approved, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine; Comirnaty (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) original monovalent formula; the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent (Original and Omicron BA.4/BA.5); the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (2023-2024 Formula); Comirnaty (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) 2023-2024 Formula; Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (2024-2025 Formula); Comirnaty (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA)

-
First-quarter 2024 Paxlovid revenue included a
$771 million favorable final adjustment to the estimated non-cash revenue reversal of$3.5 billion recorded in fourth-quarter 2023, reflecting 5.1 million EUA-labeled treatment courses returned by theU.S. government throughFebruary 29, 2024 versus the estimated 6.5 million treatment courses that were expected to be returned as ofDecember 31, 2023 . -

Our effective tax rates for income from continuing operations were (6.8)% for the first quarter of 2025 and 8.6% for the first quarter of 2024. The negative and lower effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2025, compared to the first quarter of 2024, was primarily due to favorable global income tax resolutions in multiple jurisdictions spanning multiple tax years, as well as a favorable change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings.

(a)Most directly comparable GAAP measure.
(b)Any expenses for acquired IPR&D are included in our non-GAAP Adjusted results but we exclude certain of these expenses for our financial results for annual incentive compensation purposes.
Adjusted income and its components and Adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, are limited in their usefulness to investors. Because of their non-standardized definitions, they may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies and are presented to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance. A limitation of these measures is that they provide a view of our operations without including all events during a period, and do not provide a comparable view of our performance to peers. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for their most directly comparable GAAP measures of Net income attributable to
Pfizer Inc. common shareholders, components of Net income attributable toPfizer Inc. common shareholders and EPS attributable toPfizer Inc. common shareholders-diluted, respectively.We also recognize that, as internal measures of performance, these measures have limitations, and we do not restrict our performance-management process solely to these measures. We also use other tools designed to achieve the highest levels of performance. For example, our R&D organization has productivity targets, upon which its effectiveness is measured. In addition, total shareholder return, both on an absolute basis and relative to a publicly traded pharmaceutical index, plays a significant role in determining payouts under certain of our incentive compensation plans.
