Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Trading Arrangements
During the three months ended June 28, 2026, none of our directors or officers adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
Restructuring Programs
Realigning Our Cost Base Program
On August 4, 2026, Pfizer announced $1 billion of additional anticipated net cost savings associated with its ongoing cost realignment program (the “Realigning Our Cost Base Program”) driven by further productivity enhancements from technology and simplification efforts across our commercial, R&D and enabling functions. These additional net savings are expected to further reduce costs in SI&A and be realized from 2027 through 2029. Pfizer expects one-time costs to achieve the additional savings to be incurred through 2029 and to total approximately $2 billion, primarily representing cash expenditures for digital enablement, implementation and severance. Pfizer previously announced that it remains on track to deliver anticipated net cost savings of approximately $5.7 billion by the end of 2026 and, with the additional anticipated savings, Pfizer now expects total net cost savings of approximately $6.7 billion from the Realigning our Cost Base Program through 2029.
Manufacturing Optimization Program
On August 4, 2026, Pfizer also announced the next phase of its multi-year Manufacturing Optimization Program designed to reduce our cost of goods sold. This phase of the program is focused on network structure changes, product portfolio enhancements and additional operational efficiencies and is expected to deliver additional anticipated savings of approximately $1.5 billion through 2029, some of which is expected to begin being realized in 2027. The one-time costs to achieve the savings associated with this phase of the program are expected to be approximately $4.0 billion, with approximately 60% of non-cash expenditures for accelerated depreciation and asset write-downs and 40% of cash expenditures for severance, implementation and exit costs. The costs to achieve these savings are expected to be incurred through 2029. Pfizer previously announced that it remains on track to deliver anticipated net cost savings from the first phase of this program of approximately $1.5 billion by the end of 2027 and, with the additional targeted savings from this phase, Pfizer now expects total net cost savings of approximately $3.0 billion from the Manufacturing Optimization Program through 2029.
The estimate of costs that Pfizer expects to incur and savings that Pfizer expects to achieve, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ from current expectations. Pfizer may also incur other charges or cash
expenditures not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or associated with, the Realigning our Cost Base Program and the Manufacturing Optimization Program as well as for potential future phases.
For the anticipated and actual costs of these programs, see Note 3.
