Rewritten

During the [removed: year] [added: twelve months] ended December 31, [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] sales of our HIV products accounted for approximately [removed: 74% of our total product sales, and our HIV products account for a higher percentage] [added: 70%] of our total product [removed: sales in 2019 than in 2018.][added: sales.]

Rewritten

[removed: Most] [added: For example, most] of our HIV products contain tenofovir alafenamide [removed: (TAF),] [added: (“TAF”),] tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [removed: (TDF)] [added: (“TDF”)] and/or emtricitabine [removed: (FTC),] [added: (“FTC”),] which belong to the nucleoside class of antiviral [removed: therapeutics.][added: therapeutics, and any changes to the treatment paradigm for HIV may cause nucleoside-based therapeutics to fall out of favor.]

Rewritten

We may be unable to sustain or increase sales of our HIV products for any number of [removed: reasons including, but not limited to, the reasons discussed above and] [added: reasons, including market share gains by competitive products or] the [removed: following:][added: inability to introduce new HIV medications necessary to remain competitive.]

Rewritten

[removed: | • |] As our products mature, private insurers and government payers often reduce the amount they will reimburse patients for these products, which increases pressure on us to reduce prices. [removed: |]

Rewritten

[removed: | • | As new] [added: New] branded or generic products [removed: are introduced into] [added: entering] major [removed: markets,] [added: markets affects] our ability to maintain pricing and market [removed: share may be affected. |][added: share.]

Rewritten

The launch of commercially successful products is necessary to [added: grow our business,] cover our substantial R&D [removed: expenses] [added: expenses,] and [removed: to] offset revenue losses when [removed: our] existing products lose market share due to [removed: various] factors such as competition and loss of patent [removed: exclusivity, as well as to provide for the growth of our business.][added: exclusivity.]

Rewritten

[removed: For example, see “We face risks in our clinical trials, including the potential for unfavorable results, delays in anticipated timelines and disruption, which may adversely affect our prospects for future revenue growth and our results of operations.”] We cannot state with certainty when or whether any of our product candidates under development will be approved or launched; whether we will be able to develop, license or acquire additional product candidates or products; or whether any products, once launched, will be commercially successful.

Rewritten

[removed: For example,] [added: Additionally,] the non-retail sector in the United States, which includes government institutions, including state AIDS Drug Assistance [removed: Programs (ADAPs),] [added: Programs,] the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, correctional facilities and large health maintenance organizations, tends to be less consistent in terms of buying patterns and often causes quarter-over-quarter fluctuations that do not necessarily mirror patient demand for our products.

Rewritten

We expect to continue to experience fluctuations in the purchasing patterns of our non-retail [removed: customers, which may result in fluctuations in our product sales, revenues and earnings in the future.][added: customers.]

Rewritten

We believe these measures have caused some government agencies and other purchasers to reduce inventory of our products in the distribution [removed: channels, which has decreased our revenues and caused fluctuations in our product sales and earnings.][added: channels.]

Rewritten

[removed: During] [added: For] the year ended December 31, [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] approximately [removed: 87%] [added: 92%] of our product sales in the United States were to three wholesalers, AmerisourceBergen Corporation, Cardinal Health, Inc. and McKesson Corporation.

These competing companies include [removed: specialized pharmaceutical firms and] large pharmaceutical [added: and biotechnology] companies [added: and specialized pharmaceutical firms] acting either independently or together with other [removed: pharmaceutical] [added: such] companies.

Rewritten

Furthermore, academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private organizations conducting research may seek patent protection [removed: and] [added: or] may establish collaborative arrangements for competitive products or programs.

Rewritten

[removed: If] [added: We may be adversely impacted if] any of these competitors gain market share as a result of new technologies, commercialization strategies or [removed: otherwise, it could adversely affect our results of operations and stock price.][added: otherwise.]

Rewritten

[removed: Adverse outcomes in ongoing litigation related to our Yescarta and Biktarvy products] [added: These matters] could require us to pay significant monetary [removed: damages and] [added: damages, including] royalty payments for past and future sales.

Rewritten

[removed: In] [added: For example, in] February 2018, ViiV filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court of Delaware, alleging that the commercialization of bictegravir, sold commercially in combination with TAF and FTC as Biktarvy, infringes on ViiV’s U.S. Patent No. 8,129,385 (the [removed: ‘385 patent),] [added: “’385 patent”),] covering ViiV’s dolutegravir.

Rewritten

The court has set a trial date of [removed: September 2020] [added: January 2022] for this lawsuit.

Rewritten

[removed: Among other pharmaceutical manufacturer industry-related proposals,] [added: For example,] Congress [removed: has] proposed bills to change the Medicare Part D benefit to impose an inflation-based rebate [removed: in Medicare Part D] [added: when list prices for drugs grow faster than inflation] and to [removed: alter the benefit structure to] increase manufacturer contributions in some or all [added: of the] benefit phases.

Rewritten

In addition, [removed: a majority of states] [added: many state legislatures are considering, or] have [removed: enacted] [added: already passed into law,] legislation that seeks to indirectly or directly regulate pharmaceutical drug pricing, such as [removed: by] requiring [removed: biopharmaceutical] manufacturers to publicly report proprietary pricing [removed: information or] [added: information,] creating review boards for [removed: recommending price caps or other means for controlling] prices [removed: of pharmaceutical products purchased by] [added: to] state [removed: agencies.][added: agencies, and encouraging the use of generic drugs.]

Rewritten

Such initiatives and legislation may cause added pricing pressures on our [removed: products.][added: products, and the resulting impact on our business is uncertain.]

Rewritten

Changes to the [added: 340B program or the] Medicaid program at the federal or state level could [removed: also] have a material adverse effect on our business.

Rewritten

[removed: It] [added: We may be adversely impacted by any such legislative and regulatory actions, though it] is difficult to predict the impact, if any, [removed: of any such proposed legislative and regulatory actions or resulting state actions] on the use and reimbursement of our [removed: products in the United States, but such actions may adversely affect our results of operations.][added: products.]

Rewritten

Many countries outside the United States, including the European Union [removed: (EU) Member States,] [added: member states,] have established complex and lengthy procedures to obtain price approvals, coverage [added: reimbursement] and [removed: reimbursement.][added: periodically review their pricing and reimbursement decisions.]

Rewritten

The outcome of this review cannot be predicted and could have an adverse effect on the pricing and reimbursement of our medicinal products in the [removed: EU Member States.][added: European Union member states.]

Rewritten

Reductions in the pricing of our medicinal products in one [removed: EU Member State] [added: member state] could affect the price in other [removed: EU Member States] [added: member states] and have a negative impact on our financial results.

Rewritten

Our existing products are subject to reimbursement [added: pressures] from government agencies and other third parties, [removed: and we may be] required [removed: to provide] rebates and other discounts on our [removed: products, which may result in an adjustment to our product revenues.][added: products and other pricing pressures.]

Rewritten

Successful commercialization of our products depends, in part, on the availability of [removed: governmental and] third-party payer reimbursement for the cost of such products and related treatments [added: and medical services] in the markets where we sell our products.

Rewritten

A substantial portion of our product sales is subject to significant discounts from list price, including rebates that we may be required to pay [removed: certain governmental agencies.][added: state Medicaid agencies and discounts provided to 340B covered entities.]

Rewritten

Additionally, in the European Union, there are barriers to reimbursement in individual countries that could limit the uptake of [removed: Yescarta.][added: Yescarta and Tecartus.]

Rewritten

Actual claims and payments may vary significantly from our [removed: estimates which can cause an adjustment to our product][added: estimates.]

Rewritten

In the United States, these laws include anti-kickback and false claims laws, laws and regulations relating to the Medicare and Medicaid programs and other federal and state programs, the Medicaid Rebate Statute, individual state laws relating to pricing and sales and marketing practices, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act [removed: (HIPAA)] and other federal and state laws relating to the privacy and security of health information.

Rewritten

[removed: Violations] [added: Actual or alleged violations] of these laws or any related regulations may be punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions, including, in some instances, substantial fines, civil monetary penalties, exclusion from participation in federal and state health care programs, including Medicare, [removed: Medicaid,] [added: Medicaid and Department of] Veterans [removed: Administration health programs,] [added: Affairs] and [removed: federal employee] [added: Department of Defense] health [removed: benefit] programs, actions against executives overseeing our business and significant remediation [removed: measures.][added: measures, negative publicity or other consequences.]

Rewritten

[removed: In addition, these] [added: These] laws and regulations are broad in scope and [removed: they are] subject to [removed: change] [added: changing] and evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or to alter one or more of our sales or marketing practices.

Rewritten

[removed: Recently, there has been] [added: There also continues to be] enhanced scrutiny of company-sponsored patient assistance programs, including co-pay assistance programs, and manufacturer donations to third-party charities that provide such assistance.

Rewritten

If the government disagrees with our reported calculations, we may need to restate previously reported data and could be subject to additional financial and legal [removed: liability as described above.][added: liability.]

Rewritten

[removed: Yescarta,] [added: Advancing] a [removed: chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)] [added: novel and personalized therapy such as Yescarta, which is a Chimeric Antigen Receptor (“CAR”)] T cell therapy, [removed: represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that] creates significant [removed: challenges for us, which may impact our ability to increase sales of Yescarta.][added: challenges, including:]

New in FY2020

A manifestation of any of the following risks and uncertainties could, in circumstances we may or may not be able to accurately predict, materially and adversely affect our business, growth, reputation (including the commercial or scientific reputation of our products), prospects, product pipeline and sales, operating and financial results, financial condition, cash flows, liquidity and stock price.

New in FY2020

It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors; our operations could also be affected by factors, events or uncertainties that are not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider to present significant risks to our operations.

New in FY2020

Product and Commercialization Risks

New in FY2020

Certain of our products subject us to additional or heightened risks.

New in FY2020

*HIV Products*

New in FY2020

In such case, we may need to scale back our operations, including our future drug development and spending on research and development (“R&D”) efforts.

New in FY2020

*Veklury (remdesivir)*

New in FY2020

We face risks related to our significant investment in the rapid development, manufacturing and distribution of Veklury (remdesivir), which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in October 2020 as a treatment for hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

New in FY2020

Given the severity and urgency of the COVID-19 pandemic, we committed significant capital and resources for clinical trials and the scale-up of the production of remdesivir.

New in FY2020

We expect our investment will continue through 2021 and beyond, as we continue to manufacture large quantities of finished product and conduct additional studies of specific patient populations, develop and evaluate new formulations and delivery methods and combinations with other therapies.

New in FY2020

While the utilization of remdesivir has largely tracked the level of infections, we are unable to accurately predict our revenues or supply needs over the short and long term due to the potential for new and better therapeutics, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines and fluctuating hospital utilization rates.

New in FY2020

If we are unable to accurately forecast demand or manufacture Veklury at levels to meet actual demand, then this may result in shortages or excess inventory that may be written off.

New in FY2020

We are subject to significant public attention and scrutiny over the complex decisions made regarding the clinical data, allocation, distribution and pricing of Veklury, all of which affects our corporate reputation.

New in FY2020

*Yescarta*

New in FY2020

Our success depends on developing and commercializing new products or expanding the indications for existing products.

New in FY2020

If we are unable to launch commercially successful new products or new indications for existing products our business will be adversely impacted.

New in FY2020

We face challenges in accurately forecasting sales because of the difficulties in predicting demand for our products and fluctuations in purchasing patterns or wholesaler inventories.

New in FY2020

For example, product demand may be adversely affected if physicians do not see the benefit of our products.

New in FY2020

*Product Reimbursements*

New in FY2020

For example, in September 2020, FDA issued a final rule implementing a pathway for the importation of certain prescription drugs from Canada.

New in FY2020

This rule is subject to ongoing litigation.

New in FY2020

In addition, in November 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued an interim final rule that would substantially alter the Medicare Part B reimbursement system for physician-administered medicines as of January 1, 2021.

New in FY2020

This rule is subject to ongoing litigation and CMS has been preliminarily enjoined from implementing the rule.

New in FY2020

*Product Pricing, Discounts and Rebates*

New in FY2020

In the United States, the volume of drug pricing-related bills has dramatically increased in recent years.

New in FY2020

For example, in December 2020, CMS issued a final rule that will make certain changes to the calculation of rebates under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program.

New in FY2020

Among other changes, effective January 1, 2023, the final rule will change the requirements for excluding manufacturer co-pay coupons from the Medicaid “best price.” If these changes go into effect, they could substantially increase our Medicaid rebate obligations and decrease the prices we charge 340B covered entities.

New in FY2020

The continued growth of the 340B program also limits the prices we may charge to an increasing number of customers.

New in FY2020

For example, beginning in fiscal year 2021, CMS established a new severity adjusted diagnosis related group (“DRG”) 018 for Medicare inpatient reimbursement of CAR T products such as Yescarta and Tecartus.

New in FY2020

While the new DRG has a significantly higher base payment amount than the prior DRG 016, the payment available may not be sufficient to reimburse some hospitals for their cost of care for patients receiving Yescarta and Tecartus.

New in FY2020

When reimbursement is not aligned well to account for treatment costs, Medicare beneficiaries may be denied access as this misalignment could impact the willingness of some hospitals to offer the therapy and of doctors to recommend the therapy.

New in FY2020

For example, U.S. sales could also be affected if FDA permits importation of drugs from Canada.

New in FY2020

Our actions to discourage the distribution and sale of counterfeit versions of our medicines around the world may not be successful, and we may be adversely affected as a result.

New in FY2020

Product Development and Supply Chain Risks

New in FY2020

We face numerous risks and uncertainties with our product candidates that could prevent completion of development of these product candidates.

New in FY2020

In 2021, our key anticipated milestones for our product candidates include, among others, Phase 3 data readouts for (1) sacituzumab govitecan-hziy for the treatment of hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative, metastatic breast cancer patients and (2) axicabtagene ciloleucel for the treatment of second line diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

New in FY2020

We may face manufacturing difficulties, delays or interruptions, including at our third-party manufacturers and corporate partners.

New in FY2020

Any adverse developments affecting or resulting from our manufacturing operations or the operations of our third-party manufacturers and corporate partners may result in shipment delays, inventory shortages, lot failures, product withdrawals or recalls or other interruptions in the commercial supply of our products.

New in FY2020

We may also need to take inventory write-offs and incur other charges and expenses for products that fail to meet specifications and quality standards, undertake costly remediation efforts or seek more costly manufacturing alternatives.

New in FY2020

Such developments could increase our manufacturing costs, cause us to lose revenues or market share and damage our reputation.

Dropped from FY2019

A manifestation of any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Dropped from FY2019

A substantial portion of our revenues is derived from sales of our HIV products.

Dropped from FY2019

If we are unable to increase or maintain our HIV sales, then our results of operations may be adversely affected.

Dropped from FY2019

If the treatment paradigm for HIV changes, causing nucleoside-based therapeutics to fall out of favor, or if we are unable to maintain or increase our HIV product sales, our results of operations would likely suffer and we would likely need to scale back our operations, including our future drug development and spending on research and development (R&D) efforts.

Dropped from FY2019

In addition, future sales of our HIV products depend, in part, on the extent of reimbursement of our products by private and public payers.

Dropped from FY2019

We may continue to experience global pricing pressure that could result in larger discounts or rebates on our products or delayed reimbursement, which negatively impacts our product sales and results of operations.

Dropped from FY2019

Also, private and public payers can choose to exclude our products from their formulary coverage lists or limit the types of patients for whom coverage will be provided, which would negatively impact the demand for, and revenues of, our products.

Dropped from FY2019

Any change in the formulary coverage, reimbursement levels or discounts or rebates offered on our products to payers may impact our anticipated revenues.

Dropped from FY2019

If we are unable to achieve our forecasted HIV sales, our stock price could be adversely impacted.

Dropped from FY2019

| | |

Dropped from FY2019

| --- | --- |

Dropped from FY2019

| • | As our products are used over a longer period of time in many patients and in combination with other products, and additional studies are conducted, new issues with respect to safety, resistance and interactions with other drugs may arise, which could cause us to provide additional warnings or contraindications on our labels, narrow our approved indications or halt sales of a product, each of which could reduce our revenues. |

Dropped from FY2019

| • | If physicians do not see the benefit of our HIV products, the sales of our HIV products will be limited. |

Dropped from FY2019

If we fail to develop and commercialize new products or expand the indications for existing products, our prospects for future revenues and our results of operations may be adversely affected.

Dropped from FY2019

The success of our business depends on our ability to introduce new products as well as expand the indications for our existing products to address areas of unmet medical need.

Dropped from FY2019

Failure to launch commercially successful new products or new indications for existing products could have a material adverse effect on our future revenues, results of operations and long-term success.

Dropped from FY2019

Our inability to accurately predict demand for our products and fluctuations in purchasing patterns or wholesaler inventories makes it difficult for us to accurately forecast sales and may cause our forecasted revenues and earnings to fluctuate, which could adversely affect our financial results and stock price.

Dropped from FY2019

We face significant competition.

Dropped from FY2019

Our TAF-containing HIV products compete primarily with products from ViiV Healthcare Company (ViiV).

Dropped from FY2019

We also face competition from generic HIV products.

Dropped from FY2019

Generic versions of efavirenz, a component of Atripla, are available in the United States, Canada and Europe.

Dropped from FY2019

We have observed some pricing pressure related to the efavirenz component of our Atripla sales.

Dropped from FY2019

TDF, one of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in Truvada, Atripla, Complera/Eviplera and Stribild, faces generic competition in the European Union, the United States and certain other countries.

Dropped from FY2019

In addition, because FTC, the other active pharmaceutical ingredient of Truvada, faces generic competition in the European Union, Truvada also faces generic competition in the European Union and certain other countries outside of the United States.

Dropped from FY2019

Pursuant to a settlement agreement relating to patents that protect Truvada and Atripla, Teva Pharmaceuticals is permitted to launch generic fixed-dose combinations of FTC and TDF and generic fixed-dose combinations of FTC, TDF and efavirenz in the United States on September 30, 2020.

Dropped from FY2019

Our hepatitis C virus (HCV) products compete primarily with products marketed by AbbVie Inc. and Merck & Co., Inc.

Dropped from FY2019

Our hepatitis B virus (HBV) products face competition from existing therapies for treating patients with HBV as well as generic versions of TDF.

Dropped from FY2019

Our HBV products also compete with products marketed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (Novartis).

Dropped from FY2019

Yescarta competes with a CAR T cell therapy marketed by Novartis and a non-CAR T product marketed by Roche and is expected to compete with products from other companies developing advanced T cell therapies.

Dropped from FY2019

Yescarta and other commercial products also face competition from certain clinical trials that are enrolling CAR T eligible patients.

Dropped from FY2019

We may be required to pay significant damages and royalty payments as a result of ongoing litigation related to Yescarta and Biktarvy.

Dropped from FY2019

We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these litigation matters, but the timing and magnitude of any such payments could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and stock price.

Dropped from FY2019

In October 2017, Juno Therapeutics, Inc. and Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (collectively, Juno) filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California alleging that the commercialization of axicabtagene ciloleucel, sold commercially as Yescarta, infringes on U.S. Patent No. 7,446,190 (the ‘190 patent).

Dropped from FY2019

A jury trial was held on the ‘190 patent, and in December 2019, the jury found that the asserted claims of the ‘190 patent were valid, and that we willfully infringed the asserted claims of the ‘190 patent.

Dropped from FY2019

The jury also awarded Juno damages in amounts of $585 million in an up-front payment and a 27.6% running royalty from October 2017 through the date of the jury’s verdict.

Dropped from FY2019

The parties filed post-trial motions in January 2020 and will file further briefings during the first quarter of 2020, and we expect the judge to rule on these matters later in 2020.

Dropped from FY2019

Once the district court has issued these rulings and has entered judgment, the case may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Dropped from FY2019

Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of this litigation, we believe the jury’s verdict to be in error, and we also believe that errors were made by the court with respect to certain rulings before and during trial.

Dropped from FY2019

If the jury’s verdict is not upheld on appeal, the loss will be zero, If the jury’s verdict is upheld in its entirety on appeal, we estimate the upper end of the range of possible loss through December 31, 2019 to be approximately $1.6 billion, which consists of (i) the $585 million up-front payment determined by the jury, (ii) approximately $200 million, which represents estimated royalties on our adjusted revenues from Yescarta from October 18, 2017 through December 31, 2019, and (iii) enhanced damages requested by Juno of up to two times the sum of (i) and (ii) above as a result of the jury’s finding of willfulness.

As such, results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under Topic 840 “Leases.” See Note 1.

| *Description of the Matter* | | [added: | | | |] As more fully described in Note 1, the Company estimates reductions to its revenues for amounts payable to payers and healthcare providers in the United States under various government and commercial rebate programs in the period that the related sales occur. Rebates may vary by product, payer and individual payer plans, which may not be known at the point of sale. Estimated reductions to revenue are based on [removed: products sold,] [added: product sales,] historical [added: and expected] payer mix, [removed: historical] discount rates, and various other estimated and actual data, adjusted for current period expectations. Auditing the Company’s estimated reductions to revenue for rebates was complex and involved significant judgment, particularly in assessing the reasonableness of estimated payer [removed: utilization and discount rates] [added: mix] applied to sales during the period. [removed: These estimates rely] [added: This estimate relies] heavily on historical data that is adjusted for changes in [removed: utilization and discount rates] [added: payer mix expectations] over time. | [added: | |]

To test management’s estimation methodology for determining the [removed: utilization and discount rates,] [added: payer mix,] our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating evidence contrary to the estimated amounts, performing a sensitivity analysis on the rates used in the estimates and performing a comparison of actual payments related to amounts accrued during the current and prior [removed: year.] [added: years.] | [added: | |]

[removed: The Company recorded an impairment charge of $800 million during the year.] As discussed in Note 1, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives related to purchased IPR&D projects are measured at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date and are considered indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated R&D efforts. The Company tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and in between annual tests if they become aware of any events or changes that would indicate the fair values of the assets are below their carrying amounts. Auditing the impairment [removed: tests] [added: test] was complex due to the significant judgment required in estimating the fair values of the IPR&D intangible assets. In particular, the fair value estimates [added: required the use of valuation methodologies that] were sensitive to significant assumptions (e.g., discount rate, projected research and development costs, probability of technical success, addressable patient population, projected market share and product profitability), which were affected by expected future market or economic conditions. | [added: | |]

New in FY2020

| *Description of the Matter* | | | | | | As described in Note 6, on October 23, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of Immunomedics, Inc. (“Immunomedics”) for $20.6 billion in cash consideration. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition date fair values of acquired finite-lived intangible assets, comprised of commercial product rights, and indefinite-lived intangible assets, comprised of IPR&D intangible assets, was estimated to be $4.6 billion and $15.8 billion, respectively, using a probability-weighted income approach that discounts expected future cash flows to present value. Auditing the acquisition date fair values of the intangible assets acquired from Immunomedics was complex due to the significant judgment required in estimating the fair values of each asset. In particular, the fair value estimates required the use of valuation methodologies that were sensitive to significant assumptions (e.g., discount rate, projected research and development costs, probability of technical success, addressable patient population, treatment duration, projected market share and product profitability), which were affected by expected future market or economic conditions. | | |

Reclassification

New in FY2020

Acquired IPR&D expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income reflect IPR&D impairments as well as the initial costs of externally developed IPR&D projects, acquired directly in a transaction other than a business combination, that do not have an alternative future use, including upfront payments related to various collaborations and the initial costs of rights to IPR&D projects.

New in FY2020

Our Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 have been conformed to separately present acquired IPR&D expenses.

New in FY2020

Our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, has been conformed to separately present acquired IPR&D expenses exclusive of IPR&D impairments.

There was no change in income from operations or operating cash flow as a result of these reclassifications.

New in FY2020

The revenues are recognized, net of estimated government and other rebates and chargebacks, cash discounts for prompt payment, distributor fees, sales return provisions and other related deductions.

New in FY2020

These deductions to product sales are referred to as gross-to-net deductions, and are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related product sales occur.

New in FY2020

Our payment terms to customers generally range from 30 to 90 days; however, payment terms differ by jurisdiction, by customer and in some instances by type of product.

*Gross to Net Deductions*

New in FY2020

Government and other rebates and chargebacks include amounts payable to payers and healthcare providers under various programs, and may vary by product, by payer and individual payer plans.

New in FY2020

For qualified programs that can purchase our products through wholesalers or other distributors at a lower contractual price, the wholesalers or distributors charge back to us the difference between their acquisition cost and the lower contractual price.

New in FY2020

Rebates and chargebacks are estimated primarily based on product sales, and expected payer mix and discount rates, which require significant estimates and judgment.

New in FY2020

Additionally, in developing our estimates we consider: historical and estimated payer mix; statutory discount requirements and contractual terms; historical claims experience and processing time lags; estimated patient population; known market events or trends; market research; channel inventory data obtained from our major U.S. wholesalers; and other pertinent internal or external information.

New in FY2020

We assess and update our estimates every quarter to reflect actual claims and other current information.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

New in FY2020

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

New in FY2020

A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

New in FY2020

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

New in FY2020

Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
