The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements, as discussed in the* *[Forward-Looking Information and Factors that May Affect Future [removed: Results](#i2a2412fd329d412096454ccea3d9368c_19)*] [added: Results](#i8531e747ebb543f3bf818166f157d26a_19)*] *section.*
The negotiating power of [removed: MCOs] [added: MCOs, PBMs] and other private third-party payors has increased due to consolidation, and they, along with state and federal governments, increasingly employ formularies to control costs and encourage utilization of certain drugs, including through the use of deductibles, utilization management tools, cost sharing or formulary placement.
They may demand rebates [added: and/or fees] from biopharmaceutical manufacturers for preferred placement on a drug formulary.
The growing availability and use of [added: higher cost] innovative specialty pharmaceutical medicines that treat rare or life threatening [removed: conditions, typically with a relatively higher cost as compared to other types of pharmaceutical products,] [added: conditions] also has generated increased payor interest in [added: the] development of cost-containment strategies.
As the U.S. private third-party payor market consolidates further, and as the IRA prices become publicly available, we may face greater pricing pressure from private third-party payors as they continue to drive more of their patients to use lower cost alternatives [added: or seek even larger rebates to control costs or offset losses from the IRA.]

We recorded [removed: direct product and/or Alliance] revenues of more than $1 billion for each of [removed: nine] [added: 11] products that collectively accounted for [removed: 64%] [added: 66%] of *Total revenues* in [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
If these products or any of our other major products were to, or continue to (if applicable), experience loss of patent protection (if applicable), changes in prescription or vaccination purchasing or growth rates, reduced product demand, material product liability litigation, unexpected side effects or safety concerns, regulatory proceedings or investigations, lower governmental and/or regulatory confidence, negative publicity affecting doctor or patient confidence, pressure from competitive products, changes in [added: recommendations and coverage, changes in] labeling, pricing and access [removed: pressures] [added: pressures, including those related to the IRA,] or supply shortages or if a new, more effective product should be introduced, the adverse impact on our revenues could be significant and our revenue forecasts and expectations could prove to be inaccurate and we may fail to meet these expectations.
In particular, certain of our products have experienced patent-based expirations or loss of regulatory exclusivity in certain markets in the last few [added: years, and we expect certain products to face increased generic competition over the next few] years.

For example, with the growing competition in the vaccine space, we are subject to increasing discounts to meet competitive dynamics and to help ensure our vaccines are available in retail pharmacies.
The number of current and forthcoming competing biosimilars, coupled with Medicare’s average sales price-based provider reimbursement methodology, is expected to increase pricing pressures on our biosimilar products.
For example, Eliquis accounted for 12% of *Total revenues* in 2024.
See *[Notes 1](#i8531e747ebb543f3bf818166f157d26a_178)* and *[17](#i8531e747ebb543f3bf818166f157d26a_271)*.
While additional patent-based or regulatory exclusivity expiries will continue, we expect a moderate impact of reduced revenues due to patent expiries in 2025 and anticipate a more significant impact of reduced revenues from patent-based or regulatory exclusivity expiries in 2026 through 2030 as several of our in-line products experience these expirations.
For Paxlovid, utilization is expected to follow infection trends, and revenues may fluctuate based on the timing, duration and severity of COVID-19 infections.
In addition, potential quality issues may be identified in the course of a clinical trial that cannot be remediated to the satisfaction of a regulatory authority that may take actions within the scope of its enforcement authority, including excluding data and placing restrictions on future clinical trials.
In addition, issued or future executive orders or other new or changes in laws, regulations or policy regarding tariffs, could have a material adverse effect on our business, earnings and financial guidance.
The actual impact of the new tariffs on our business is subject to a number of factors including, but not limited to, restrictions on trade, the effective date and duration of such tariffs, countries included in the scope of tariffs, changes to amounts of tariffs, and potential retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries.
In response to requests from various regulatory authorities, manufacturers across the pharmaceutical industry, including Pfizer, are evaluating their product portfolios for the potential presence or formation of nitrosamines and we are actively engaging with regulatory authorities on this topic.
If nitrosamines are detected above certain levels in our products, this may lead to market action for such products.
management and other areas.
In conducting clinical trials, we may depend on contract research organizations to handle regulatory filings, monitor site performance and raise potential quality matters relating to clinical trials.
As consumers increasingly turn to the internet as a source for many products including medicines, they are at the same time increasingly exposed to fake medicines via the internet as criminals increasingly distribute counterfeit and substandard medicines through “rogue” online pharmacies.
For example, the drug pricing provisions of the IRA are being implemented over the next several years.
The IRA directs HHS to set the prices of certain high-expenditure, single-source drugs and biologics covered under Medicare.
The IRA also imposes rebates under Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D which require manufacturers to pay rebates if price increases outpace inflation relative to a benchmark period, and replaces the Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program with a new discounting program.
In August 2024, the government released the new Medicare price for Eliquis, which will become effective January 1, 2026.
On January 17, 2025, CMS announced the selection of another 15 drugs from Medicare Part D for the maximum fair price, with prices to be set and effective on January 1, 2027.
Ibrance and Xtandi were included in the list of 15 drugs selected.
Another 15 drugs from Medicare Part B or Medicare Part D will be selected by February 1, 2026, for the maximum price to be set and in effect by January 1, 2028.
It is possible that more of our products could be selected in future years, which could, among other things, lead to lower revenues prior to expiry of intellectual property protections.

Measures to regulate prices or payment for pharmaceutical products, including legislation on drug importation and prescription drug affordability boards (PDABs) that seek to impose reimbursement limits for certain drugs, could adversely affect our business.
Additionally, in the EU, the EC proposed the largest reform of EU pharmaceutical legislation in 20 years.
In April 2024, the European Parliament introduced amendments to the EC’s proposal.
The EU legislative process remains ongoing, with several stages still required before the reform can receive final approval.
This reform may alter
regulatory exclusivity periods for our products and may add burdensome obligations that impact access.
In addition, with the European Regulation on Health Technology Assessment (EU HTA-R) taking effect in January 2025, we are engaging and monitoring application of the EU’s new clinical assessment program to new oncology products and certain biologic products submitted to the EMA.

In addition, we may face increased risks to, among other things, our business, revenue, earnings, reputation or financial guidance, as a result of potential changes to vaccine or other healthcare policy in the U.S.
In September 2024, we made the decision to voluntarily withdraw Oxbryta in all markets where it is approved based on the totality of clinical data that indicated at that time the overall benefit of Oxbryta no longer outweighs the risk in the approved sickle cell patient population.

We face risks and uncertainties related to our COVID-19 products, including Comirnaty and Paxlovid or any potential future COVID-19 vaccines, treatments or combinations, including, among others, the risk that as the market for COVID-19 products remains endemic and seasonal, demand for our COVID-19 products has and may continue to be reduced or not meet expectations, which has and may continue to lead to reduced revenues, excess inventory or other unanticipated charges; risks related to our ability to develop and commercialize variant adapted vaccines, combinations and/or treatments; uncertainties related to recommendations and coverage for, and the public’s adherence to, vaccines, boosters, treatments or combinations; risks related to our ability to accurately predict revenue for Comirnaty and Paxlovid or any potential future COVID-19 vaccines or treatments; whether and when EUA or biologics license applications or amendments to any such applications may be filed in particular jurisdictions for Comirnaty or any other potential vaccine or vaccine candidates, including those related to potential future annual boosters, re-vaccinations, or vaccines in additional populations, and if obtained, whether or when such EUA or licenses, or existing EUAs, will expire or terminate; whether and when additional supply or purchase agreements will be reached or existing agreements will be modified; potential third-party royalties or other claims related to Comirnaty or Paxlovid; and the other risks and uncertainties discussed throughout this Item 1A.

or seek even larger rebates to control costs or offset losses from the IRA.
The entry to the market of competing biosimilars is expected to increase pricing pressures on our biosimilar products.
In particular, Comirnaty accounted for 19% of *Total revenues* in 2023.
See *[Notes 1](#i2a2412fd329d412096454ccea3d9368c_172)* and *[17](#i2a2412fd329d412096454ccea3d9368c_247)*.
Growth depends in large part on our ability to identify and develop
For example, certain of our gene therapy product candidates are based on a novel technology with only a handful of gene therapies approved to date, which make it difficult to predict the time and cost of development and the ability to obtain regulatory approval.
Our manufacturing facility in Rocky Mount, NC was damaged by a tornado in July 2023.
While manufacturing has resumed, the supply of medicines impacted by the tornado is expected to be affected through 2024.
The increased adoption during the COVID-19 pandemic further exposed consumers to fake prescription treatments via the internet as access to traditional brick and mortar pharmacies or authorized full-service internet pharmacies that offer authentic treatments may have been hindered.
For example, in August 2022, the drug pricing provisions of the IRA were signed into law, which, among other things, require manufacturers of certain drugs, including Pfizer, to engage in price negotiations with Medicare which will permit the CMS to set a maximum fair price for selected drugs, impose rebates under Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D to penalize price increases that outpace inflation, and replace the Part D coverage gap discount program with a new discounting program.
CMS will establish a maximum fair price for Eliquis that will be in effect in 2026.
That maximum fair price will be required to be offered to all Medicare beneficiaries and to covered entities participating in the 340B Program if lower than the 340B price.
Measures to regulate prices or payment for pharmaceutical
products, including legislation on drug importation, such as Florida’s drug importation program which was recently approved by the FDA, could adversely affect our business.
Additionally, in the EU, the EC proposed the largest reform to drug pricing and access in 20 years, which if enacted would change regulatory exclusivity for our products.
Pricing pressures have been, and we anticipate will continue to be, amplified by COVID-19 induced budget deficits and focus on pricing for COVID-19 treatments and vaccines.
to granting approval, or increased post-approval requirements.
In the FDA’s revision to the EUA for Paxlovid, the FDA removed the post-authorization requirements as they were addressed as a post-marketing commitment associated with the approval of the Paxlovid NDA.
The terms of our Paxlovid EUA had previously required monitoring of a genomic database(s) for the emergence of global viral variants of SARS-CoV-2 and providing reports to the FDA on a monthly basis summarizing any findings.
Also, the FDA required Pfizer to assess the activity of the authorized Paxlovid against any global SARS-CoV-2 variant(s) of interest and complete certain other analyses and studies as identified in our October 2022 EUA.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business going forward will depend on many factors, and we have made certain assumptions regarding COVID-19 for purposes of our operational planning and financial projections, including assumptions regarding the global macroeconomic impact of COVID-19, as well as the demand, revenues, supply, contracts, market share and commercial markets for our current or future COVID-19 products, which remain dynamic.
Despite careful tracking and planning, we are unable to accurately predict the extent of the impact of COVID-19 or our COVID-19 products on our business, operations and financial condition and results due to the uncertainty of future developments.
COVID-19 or our COVID-19 products may also affect our business, operations or financial condition and results in a manner that is not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider as presenting significant risks.
We also face risks and uncertainties related to our efforts to develop and commercialize our COVID-19 products, as well as challenges related to their manufacturing, supply and distribution, including, among others:
- the risk that as the market for COVID-19 products becomes more endemic and seasonal, demand for any of our COVID-19 products has and may continue to be reduced or not meet expectations, or may no longer exist, which has and may continue to lead to reduced revenues, excess inventory on-hand and/or in the channel which, for Paxlovid and Comirnaty, has resulted in significant inventory write-offs in 2023 and could continue to result in inventory write-offs or other unanticipated charges;
- challenges related to the transition to the commercial market for our COVID-19 products;

*1.Improve R&D productivity with sharpened focus*
*2.Expand margins and maximize operational efficiency*
*3.Achieve commercial excellence in our key categories*
*4.Optimize capital allocation.*
One way we believe we will be more efficient, effective and able to execute on these strategic priorities is through technology, including AI.
At the beginning of 2025, we made the following changes within our Biopharma reportable segment that went into effect on January 1, 2025 to support our continued focus on commercial execution and to further strengthen Pfizer’s capabilities and leadership in discovering and developing breakthrough medicines and vaccines:
- combined our global ORD and PRD organizations to form a single Pfizer R&D organization that is responsible for all R&D activities across all therapeutic areas.
In the second quarter of 2024, we announced that we launched a multi-year, multi-phased program to reduce our costs of goods sold (Manufacturing Optimization Program), which is expected to include operational efficiencies, network structure changes, and product portfolio enhancements.
See *[Note 3](#i8531e747ebb543f3bf818166f157d26a_199)*.
See *[Note 2](#i8531e747ebb543f3bf818166f157d26a_181)* for significant recent activities.
*Total Revenues––Total revenues* increased $4.1 billion, or 7%, to $63.6 billion in 2024 from $59.6 billion in 2023, reflecting an operational increase of $4.4 billion, or 7%, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of $349 million, or approximately 1%.
The operational increase was primarily driven by Paxlovid, the addition of legacy Seagen revenues in full-year 2024 following the acquisition in December 2023, and growth from the Vyndaqel family and Eliquis, partially offset by declines in Comirnaty.
See *[Note 17C](#i8531e747ebb543f3bf818166f157d26a_280).* Excluding contributions from Comirnaty and Paxlovid, *Total revenues* increased 12% operationally.
Certain of our vaccines, including Comirnaty, are subject to seasonality of demand, with a greater portion of revenues anticipated in the fall and winter seasons, and Paxlovid revenues trend with infection rates.

In August 2024, the government released the new Medicare price for Eliquis, which, effective January 1, 2026, will be required to be offered to all Medicare beneficiaries and to covered entities participating in the 340B Program that dispense Eliquis to a Medicare beneficiary if that maximum fair price is lower than the discounted price such entities are offered under the 340B Program ceiling price calculation.
The Eliquis Medicare price is factored into our long-term financial planning, in accordance with our standard financial reporting and forecasting protocols.
On January 17, 2025, CMS announced the selection of another 15 drugs from Medicare Part D for the maximum fair price, with prices to be set and effective on January 1, 2027.
Ibrance and Xtandi were included in the list of 15 drugs selected.
Another 15 drugs from Medicare Part B or Medicare Part D will be selected by February 1, 2026, for the maximum price to be set and in effect by January 1, 2028.
It is possible that more of our products could be selected in future years, which could, among other things, lead to lower revenues prior to expiry of intellectual property protections.
The IRA made significant changes to the Medicare Part D benefit design, which will impact Pfizer revenues in 2025, including: an expected favorable impact from the $2,000 annual out-of-pocket cap and new Prescription Payment Plan, more than offset by an expected unfavorable impact from the sunsetting of the Coverage Gap Discount Program and the addition of new manufacturer discounts in the initial and catastrophic coverage phases.
We anticipate a net unfavorable impact to revenue in 2025 of approximately $1 billion, year-over-year, related to the Medicare Part D Redesign changes that take effect in 2025.
We expect these changes will more acutely impact our higher-priced medicines as they are expected to reach catastrophic coverage earlier in the year.
have a material impact on our business.
Supply of medicines has recovered from the impact of the tornado.
In response to requests from various regulatory authorities, manufacturers across the pharmaceutical industry, including Pfizer, are evaluating their product portfolios for the potential presence or formation of nitrosamines and we are actively engaging with regulatory authorities on this topic.
If nitrosamines are detected above certain levels in our products, this may lead to market action for such products.
We do not anticipate the availability of raw materials to have a significant impact on our operations in 2025, but are monitoring potential supply chain disruptions as a result of ongoing geopolitical and trade negotiations, which could, among other things, impact costs.

In addition, issued or future executive orders or other new or changes in laws, regulations or policy regarding tariffs, could have a material adverse effect on our business, earnings and financial guidance.
The actual impact of the new tariffs on our business is subject to a number of factors including, but not limited to, restrictions on trade, the effective date and duration of such tariffs, countries included in the scope of tariffs, changes to amounts of tariffs, and potential retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries.
We are evaluating opportunities and developing plans which may help mitigate the potential impact of tariffs on our business and operations.

Due to the commercial market transition as well as the seasonality of demand for COVID-19 vaccinations, the majority of our global revenues for Comirnaty were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024.
In 2025, for Comirnaty we expect vaccination rates and market share in commercial markets and revenue phasing similar to 2024, primarily concentrated in the second-half of the year.

- Expand margins by realigning our cost base
- Allocate capital to enhance shareholder value
In December 2023, we completed our acquisition of Seagen.
At the beginning of 2024, we made changes in our commercial organization that went into effect on January 1, 2024 to incorporate Seagen and improve focus, speed and execution.
Specifically, within our Biopharma reportable segment we created:
- the Pfizer Oncology Division, which brings together U.S. oncology commercial operations from both Pfizer and Seagen and is led by the Chief Oncology Officer, Executive Vice President, who also leads Pfizer’s newly combined global oncology R&D operations;
- the Pfizer International Commercial Division, which focuses on the commercialization of Pfizer’s entire product portfolio outside the U.S. and is led by the Chief International Commercial Officer, Executive Vice President.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, we began taking steps through our Transforming to a More Focused Company restructuring program to optimize our end-to-end R&D operations to reduce costs and cycle times as well as to further prioritize our internal R&D portfolio in areas where our capabilities are differentiated while increasing external innovation efforts to leverage an expanding and productive biotech sector.
Beginning in July 2023, in consideration of planned future investments in oncology, including the acquisition of Seagen on December 14, 2023, we reorganized our R&D platform operations.
See *[Note 17A](#i2a2412fd329d412096454ccea3d9368c_247)*.
For a discussion of recent significant business development activities, see *[Note 2](#i2a2412fd329d412096454ccea3d9368c_175)*.
*Total Revenues––Total revenues* decreased $41.8 billion, or 42%, to $58.5 billion in 2023 from $100.3 billion in 2022, reflecting an operational decrease of $40.8 billion, or 41%, as well as an unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of $1.0 billion, or 1%.
The operational decrease was primarily driven by significant declines in revenues from Comirnaty and Paxlovid, including a $3.5 billion non-cash revenue reversal for Paxlovid recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Excluding contributions from Comirnaty and Paxlovid, *Total revenues* increased 7% operationally, reflecting an increase in revenues from Nurtec ODT/Vydura and Oxbryta; revenues from Abrysvo, primarily driven by the launch of the older adult indication in the U.S.; as well as continued growth from the Vyndaqel family and Eliquis; partially offset by a decline in Ibrance.
While royalty income through December 31, 2023 has been recorded in *Other Income/(Deductions)—net*, we will begin reporting such royalty income in *Total revenues* beginning in 2024 and will restate prior periods for consistency with our 2024 presentation.
Additionally, we will no longer record royalties from U.S. sales of Bavencio, as we have irrevocably chosen to donate the right to such royalties to the American Association for Cancer Research.
We anticipate a more significant impact of reduced revenues from patent expiries in 2026 through 2030 as several of our in-line products experience patent-based expirations.
While manufacturing has resumed, the supply of medicines impacted by the tornado is expected to be affected through 2024.
We may record additional losses and/or costs and/or insurance recoveries in future periods, but we are unable to predict them with certainty at this time.
Due to the commercial market transition as well as the anticipated seasonal nature of COVID vaccination, we expect more than 80% of our 2024 global revenues for Comirnaty to be recorded in the second half of the year.
See *[Note 17C](#i2a2412fd329d412096454ccea3d9368c_549755815813)*.
While as of now, we do not anticipate any significant negative impacts on our global operations from this conflict, continued regional instability, geopolitical shifts, potential additional sanctions and other restrictive measures against Russia, neighboring countries or allies of Russia, any retaliatory measures taken by Russia, neighboring countries or allies of Russia, and actions by our customers or suppliers, including financial institutions, in response to such measures could adversely affect the global macroeconomic environment, our operations, currency exchange rates and financial markets, which could in turn adversely impact our business and results of operations.
For the provisional amounts recognized for the Seagen assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, see *[Note 2A](#i2a2412fd329d412096454ccea3d9368c_175)*.
The estimated values are not yet finalized and are subject to change, which could be significant.
We will finalize the amounts recognized as we obtain the information necessary to complete the analyses.
We expect to finalize the amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

2022*
Emerging markets revenues decreased $8.1 billion, or 40%, in 2023 to $12.0 billion from $20.1 billion in 2022, reflecting an operational decrease of $7.4 billion, or 37%, and an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange of 3%.
The operational decrease in emerging markets revenues was primarily driven by declines from Comirnaty and Paxlovid, partially offset by growth from Lorbrena, Zavicefta and Eliquis.

Our 2025 key priorities are:
*1.Improve R&D productivity with sharpened focus*
*2.Expand margins and maximize operational efficiency*
*3.Achieve commercial excellence in our key categories*
*4.Optimize capital allocation.*
We manage our commercial operations through a global structure consisting of three operating segments, each led by a single manager: Biopharma, PC1 and Pfizer Ignite.
Biopharma, our innovative science-based biopharmaceutical business, is engaged in the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of biopharmaceutical products worldwide.
PC1 is our contract development and manufacturing organization and a leading supplier of specialty active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Pfizer Ignite is an offering that provides strategic guidance and end-to-end R&D services to select innovative biotech companies that align with our R&D focus areas.
Our commercial divisions market, sell and distribute our products, and global operating functions are responsible for the research, development, manufacturing and supply of our products.
- Pfizer Oncology Division combined the U.S. Oncology commercial organizations, global Oncology marketing organizations and global and U.S. Oncology medical affairs from both Pfizer and Seagen (which we acquired in December 2023).
- Pfizer International Commercial Division included the ex-U.S. commercial and medical affairs organizations covering Pfizer’s entire product portfolio in all international markets.
As part of our continued focus on commercial execution, at the beginning of 2025, we made changes in our commercial structure, which included the transition of all activities within the Pfizer Oncology Division to other parts of Biopharma, among other changes.
Specifically, within our Biopharma reportable segment, the U.S. Oncology commercial organization and the global Oncology marketing organization, which were part of the former Pfizer Oncology Division, are now part of the Pfizer U.S. Commercial Division.
In 2025, the commercial structure within our Biopharma reportable segment is as follows:
| Pfizer U.S. Commercial Division | | | Includes the U.S. commercial and medical affairs organizations covering Pfizer’s entire product portfolio (excluding Oncology medical affairs which is part of global R&D), as well as the Global Access & Value and Global Chief Marketing Office organizations. | | |
| •Internal medicine product portfolio of brands in cardiovascular metabolic, as well as brands that have experienced patent-based expirations or loss of regulatory exclusivity. | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | Oncology includes: | | |
◦*Internal medicine*: Eliquis, as well as other brands that have experienced patent-based expirations or loss of regulatory exclusivity.
*Our R&D Operations.* In 2024, we continued to enhance our global R&D operations and pursued strategies to improve R&D productivity and advance a sustainable and value-creating pipeline.
Oncology was organized in an end-to-end Oncology R&D (ORD) organization, spanning discovery to late-phase clinical development.
Pfizer Research and Development (PRD) managed the same for our remaining therapeutic areas in addition to certain platform organizations.
Effective January 1, 2025, ORD and PRD were consolidated into a single R&D organization to further strengthen Pfizer’s capabilities and leadership in discovering and developing breakthrough medicines and vaccines.
As part of these changes, we are now evaluating how our simplified structure and sharpened focus might lead to improvements in productivity and potential efficiencies.
We expect any potential savings identified through these efforts to be reinvested in our R&D portfolio.
Separately, in December 2024, the companies terminated their collaboration with respect to the relugolix combination tablet.

We also seek to gain access for our products on formularies, which are lists of approved medicines available to members of healthcare programs or PBMs in the U.S. Insurers and PBMs who design and negotiate formularies on their behalf use various benefit designs, such as tiered co-pays for formulary products, to drive utilization of products in preferred formulary positions, typically in exchange for a discount off the price of the medicine in the form of a rebate agreement.

Interim patent term extension requests have been granted extending the expiry from March 2025 to March 2026 and Pfizer has filed an application for patent term extension to 2027.
Those patents have been challenged in litigation.
We also sell products for the detection of certain illnesses and provide end-to-end R&D services to select innovative biotech companies.
In addition, Pfizer’s ESG strategy, which is integrated into our corporate strategy, focuses on six areas where we see opportunities to create a meaningful impact: product innovation; equitable access and pricing; product quality and safety; diversity, equity and inclusion; climate change; and business ethics.

On December 14, 2023, we completed our acquisition of Seagen, a global biotechnology company that discovers, develops and commercializes transformative cancer medicines.
With the addition of Seagen’s pipeline and its four in-line medicines (Padcev, Adcetris, Tukysa and Tivdak), Pfizer’s oncology portfolio spans multiple modalities, including ADCs, small molecules, bispecifics and other immunotherapies.
In addition to the acquisition of Seagen, our significant recent business development activities in 2023 include, among others, the September 2023 divestiture of our early-stage rare disease gene therapy portfolio to Alexion.
In 2023, we managed our commercial operations through a global structure consisting of two operating segments, each led by a single manager: Biopharma, our innovative science-based biopharmaceutical business, and Business Innovation, an operating segment established in the first quarter of 2023 that includes PC1, our contract development and manufacturing organization and a leading supplier of specialty active pharmaceutical ingredients, and Pfizer Ignite, an offering that provides strategic guidance and end-to-end R&D services to select innovative biotech companies that align with our R&D focus areas.
The commercial structure within Biopharma included three broad customer groups in 2023: Primary Care, Specialty Care and Oncology.
At the beginning of 2024, we made changes in our commercial organization to incorporate Seagen and improve focus, speed and execution.
| •Internal medicine product portfolio of brands in cardiovascular metabolic, bone graft for spinal fusion and women’s health, as well as post-LOE brands. | | | | | |
| •Products for detection of COVID-19 and influenza. | | | | | |
◦*Internal medicine*: Eliquis, the Premarin family and BMP2
◦*Detection of COVID-19 and influenza*: Lucira by Pfizer
*Our R&D Operations.* In 2023, we continued to strengthen our global R&D operations and pursue strategies to improve R&D productivity to achieve a sustainable pipeline that is positioned to deliver value in the near term and over time.
Our R&D activity is conducted through various platform functions that support our global operations.
Beginning in July 2023, in consideration of planned future investments in oncology, including the December 2023 acquisition of Seagen, we reorganized our R&D platform operations.
Discovery to late-phase clinical development for oncology is performed by a new end-to-end Oncology Research and Development (ORD) organization and discovery to late-phase clinical development for all remaining therapeutic areas is consolidated into the end-to-end Pfizer Research and Development (PRD) organization.
ORD and PRD replace our former WRDM and GPD organizations, where, prior to July 2023, research units within WRDM were generally responsible for research and early-stage development assets and, prior to July 2023, GPD was generally responsible for the clinical development strategy and operational execution of clinical trials for both early- and late-stage clinical assets in Pfizer’s pipeline.
In 2023, Biopharma received R&D services from ORD, PRD and the predecessor WRDM and GPD organizations.
These services included IPR&D projects for new investigational products and additional indications for in-line products.

The companies are also collaborating on Myfembree (relugolix 40 mg, estradiol 1.0 mg, and norethindrone acetate 0.5 mg) for heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids in premenopausal women and the management of moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis in premenopausal women.
SMPA remains responsible for regulatory interactions and drug supply and continues to lead clinical development for the relugolix combination tablet.
Outside the U.S., we have commercialization rights in all countries in North and South America, and Astellas has commercialization rights in the rest of the world.

In 2022 and 2023, we principally sold Paxlovid globally to government agencies.
Our
contracts with government and supranational organizations for the sales of Comirnaty and Paxlovid, which are binding contracts, represented a significant amount of revenues in 2022 and 2023.
Sales of Comirnaty and Paxlovid in the U.S. transitioned to commercial channels in the second half of 2023.
For information on our October 2023 amended agreement with the U.S. government regarding Paxlovid, see *[Note 17C](#i2a2412fd329d412096454ccea3d9368c_549755815813)*.
We also seek to gain access for our products on formularies, which are lists of approved medicines available to members of healthcare programs or PBMs.
PBMs use various benefit designs, such as tiered co-pays for formulary products, to drive utilization of products in preferred formulary positions.

The preliminary estimates of the fair value of intangible assets were finalized during the measurement period in 2024.
As discussed in [Note 1](#i8531e747ebb543f3bf818166f157d26a_178)[M](#i8531e747ebb543f3bf818166f157d26a_178), the Company performs impairment testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually and for all other long-lived assets whenever impairment indicators are present.
When necessary, the Company records impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets.

On January 1, 2024, we adopted a new accounting standard which clarifies that contractual sale restrictions are not considered in measuring equity securities at fair value.
The new guidance is consistent with our existing policy; therefore, it had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, we adopted a new accounting standard which requires the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition.

We applied certain of the optional expedients related to hedge accounting relationships.
The main purpose of the expedients is to allow hedge accounting to continue uninterrupted and make it easier to apply the requirements to maintain hedge accounting during the transition period through December 31, 2024.
