Pfizer Inc (NYSE: PFE) today reported results for the
first-quarter 2008. The Company recorded revenues of $11.8 billion, a
decrease of 5% compared with $12.5 billion in the year-ago quarter,
primarily due to the March 2007 loss of U.S. exclusivity of Norvasc as
well as the January 2008 loss of U.S. exclusivity of Zyrtec, which
Pfizer ceased selling in late January 2008. In the first-quarter 2008,
Norvasc and Zyrtec revenues decreased by $556 million and $344
million, respectively, compared with the prior-year quarter.
First-quarter 2008 revenues were positively impacted by foreign
exchange, which increased revenues by approximately $570 million or
5%, and the solid performance of many new and in-line products.

For the first-quarter 2008, Pfizer posted reported net income of
$2.8 billion, a decrease of 18% compared with $3.4 billion in the
prior-year quarter, and reported diluted EPS of $0.41, a decrease of
15% compared with $0.48 in the prior-year quarter. These declines were
primarily attributable to lower revenues due to the U.S. losses of
exclusivity discussed above and, to a lesser extent, increased
in-process research and development expenses associated with
acquisitions, primarily CovX and Coley Pharmaceutical Group, Inc.,
which were partially offset by lower expenses related to our
cost-reduction initiatives and foreign exchange.

For the first-quarter 2008, Pfizer posted adjusted income(1) of
$4.1 billion, a decrease of 15% compared with $4.8 billion in the
year-ago quarter, and adjusted diluted EPS(1) of $0.61, a decrease of
10% compared with $0.68 in the year-ago quarter. Both adjusted
income(1) and adjusted diluted EPS(1) reflected lower revenues due to
the U.S. losses of exclusivity discussed above, which were partially
offset by savings from the Company’s cost-reduction initiatives and
foreign exchange. Reported and adjusted diluted EPS(1) were also
positively impacted by the full benefit of Pfizer’s purchase of $10.0
billion of the Company’s common stock in 2007.

Executive Commentary

“Today we are reaffirming our full-year 2008 financial guidance,”
stated Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Kindler. “As we
discussed in our fourth-quarter 2007 earnings call and materials, the
first-quarter 2008 is not comparable to the year-ago quarter due to
the loss of U.S. exclusivity of Norvasc in late March 2007 and Zyrtec
in late January 2008. These results, however, are in-line with our
expectations. Since the Norvasc loss of U.S. exclusivity occurred in
the first-quarter 2007, the comparisons of our 2008 to 2007 quarterly
results going forward will not be significantly impacted.”

“This quarter, many of our new products continued to perform well,
including Sutent and Chantix. We also saw steady growth from many
in-line medicines, including Lyrica, Geodon, Viagra and Xalatan. In
addition, our alliance revenues demonstrated double-digit growth.
Further, Lipitor remains a powerful global brand supported by
extensive outcomes data and it continues to grow on an operational
basis in many international markets,” continued Kindler.

“We’re continuing to make progress on our cost-reduction
initiatives and are well on our way to achieving at least a $1.5 to
$2.0 billion reduction in adjusted total costs(2) at the end of 2008
versus 2006, on a constant currency basis(3),” said Frank D’Amelio,
Chief Financial Officer. “We’re on track to generate $17 to $18
billion in operating cash flow in 2008, and we expect to continue to
generate strong operating cash flow beyond 2008.”

Pharmaceutical

Pharmaceutical revenues for the first-quarter 2008 were $10.9
billion, a decrease of 6% compared with the prior-year quarter,
including the favorable impact of foreign exchange, which increased
revenues by approximately $520 million or 4%. First-quarter 2008
revenues from in-line and new products(6) increased 3% compared with
the year-ago quarter. Revenues for Norvasc and Camptosar, which lost
U.S. marketing exclusivity in 2007 and 2008, respectively, and Zyrtec,
which we ceased selling in late January 2008 shortly after the
expiration of the U.S. patent, declined $937 million or 53% compared
with the year-ago quarter.

Lipitor revenues in the first-quarter 2008 were $3.1 billion, a
decrease of 7% compared with the prior-year quarter; this includes the
favorable impact of foreign exchange, which increased revenues by
approximately $135 million or 4%. In the U.S., Lipitor revenues
declined 18% during the quarter, while revenues from international
markets rose 13%. The U.S. statin market continues to be highly
competitive, with both branded and generic competition in an
increasingly cost-sensitive environment. Pfizer continues to respond
to these market dynamics, which include the data presented at the
recent American College of Cardiology meeting, with an integrated,
multi-channel effort emphasizing Lipitor’s strong clinical profile.
Lipitor is the only medicine that provides potent mean LDL-C
reductions of greater than 50%, a broad range of proven cardiovascular
outcomes and an established safety profile.

Celebrex revenues in the first-quarter 2008 were $611 million, an
increase of 2% compared with the year-ago quarter. International
revenues grew to $147 million, an increase of 20% driven by a
double-digit increase in demand, as well as the favorable impact of
foreign exchange.

In the first-quarter 2008, Lyrica revenues were $582 million, an
increase of 47% compared with the prior-year quarter driven by strong
efficacy and high patient and physician satisfaction in the
marketplace, particularly in managing fibromyalgia. Lyrica is the only
FDA-approved medicine indicated for this chronic, widespread pain
condition.

Revenues from new products, including Sutent and Chantix (known as
Champix outside the U.S.), grew significantly in the first-quarter
2008 compared with the corresponding period in 2007. In the
first-quarter 2008, Sutent, Pfizer’s breakthrough cancer treatment,
continued to demonstrate strong performance and market leadership in
its approved indications - advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and
gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) - with revenues of $190 million,
an increase of 86% compared with the year-ago quarter.

In the first-quarter 2008, Chantix delivered revenues of $277
million, an increase of 71% compared with the first-quarter 2007. In
January 2008, Pfizer updated the Chantix U.S. label to include
additional safety information, which has unfavorably impacted recent
U.S. prescription trends. Given the significant health benefits of
quitting smoking, Pfizer will continue its aggressive educational and
promotional efforts with a focus on the Chantix benefit-risk
proposition, the significant health consequences of smoking and the
importance of the physician-patient dialogue.

Animal Health

Animal Health revenues for the first-quarter 2008 were $619
million, an increase of 6% compared with $586 million in the year-ago
quarter, driven by the favorable impact of foreign exchange, which
increased revenues by approximately $35 million or 6%.

Expenses

In the first-quarter 2008, adjusted cost of sales(1) as a
percentage of revenues was 15.3% compared with 14.0% in the
first-quarter 2007. The year-over-year increase reflects the greater
impact of foreign exchange on cost of sales relative to revenues in
addition to unfavorable changes in geographic and business mix. These
were partially offset by the favorable effect of our ongoing
cost-reduction initiatives.

Adjusted selling, informational and administrative (SI&A)
expenses(1) were $3.4 billion in the first-quarter 2008, an increase
of 3% compared with the prior-year quarter. The favorable impact of
our ongoing cost-reduction initiatives was more than offset by the
unfavorable impact of foreign exchange on expenses compared with the
year-ago period.

Adjusted research and development (R&D) expenses(1) were $1.6
billion in the first-quarter 2008, an increase of 1% compared with the
year-ago quarter, due primarily to the unfavorable impact of foreign
exchange on expenses, which was mostly offset by the realization of
savings associated with our cost-reduction initiatives.

Overall, foreign exchange negatively impacted adjusted total
costs(2) by approximately $330 million or 5% in the first-quarter 2008
compared with the year-ago period. Absent foreign exchange, our
adjusted total costs(2) decreased operationally by approximately $170
million year-over-year.

Financial Guidance

For the full-year 2008, Pfizer’s financial guidance, at current
exchange rates(9) except as otherwise noted, is summarized below. As
noted last quarter, the reported diluted EPS guidance previously
provided did not reflect the charges associated with business
development transactions that had not yet closed as of December 31,
2007; therefore, the Company updated the reported diluted EPS guidance
to reflect charges associated with the acquisitions of CovX, Coley
Pharmaceutical Group, Inc. and two smaller acquisitions related to
Animal Health, all of which closed in the first-quarter 2008.

2007 Actual 2008 Guidance
———————————————————————-
$47.0 to $49.0
Revenues $48.2 billion billion
———————————————————————-
Adjusted Cost of Sales(1) as
a Percentage of Revenues 16.0% 14.5% to 15.5%
———————————————————————-
$14.4 to $14.9
Adjusted SI&A Expenses(1) $15.2 billion billion
———————————————————————-
Adjusted R&D Expenses(1) $7.5 billion $7.3 to $7.6 billion
———————————————————————-
Effective Tax Rate on
Adjusted Income(1) 21.0% 22.0% to 22.5%
———————————————————————-
Reported Diluted EPS(10) $1.17 $1.73 to $1.88
———————————————————————-
Adjusted Diluted EPS(1) $2.18 $2.35 to $2.45
———————————————————————-
$17.0 to $18.0
Cash Flows from Operations $13.4 billion billion
———————————————————————-

Lastly, adjusted total costs(2) are expected to be at least $1.5
to $2.0 billion lower than 2006 on a constant currency basis(3).

For additional details, please see the attached financial
schedules, product revenue table, supplemental financial information
and Disclosure Notice.

(1) “Adjusted income” and its components and “adjusted diluted
earnings per share (EPS)” are defined as reported net income and its
components and reported diluted EPS excluding purchase-accounting
adjustments, acquisition-related costs, discontinued operations and
certain significant items. Adjusted Cost of Sales, Adjusted SI&A
expenses and Adjusted R&D expenses are income statement line items
prepared on the same basis, and therefore, components of the overall
Adjusted Income measure. As described under Adjusted Income in the
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations section of Pfizer’s Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2007, management uses adjusted income, among
other factors, to set performance goals and to measure the performance
of the overall company. We believe that investors’ understanding of
our performance is enhanced by disclosing this measure.
Reconciliations of first-quarter 2008 and 2007, and full-year 2007,
adjusted income and its components and adjusted diluted EPS to
reported net income and its components and reported diluted EPS, as
well as reconciliations of full-year 2008 adjusted income and adjusted
diluted EPS guidance to full-year 2008 reported net income and
reported diluted EPS guidance, are provided in the materials
accompanying this report. The 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 diluted EPS.

(2) Represents primarily the total of Adjusted Cost of Sales(1),
Adjusted SI&A expenses(1) and Adjusted R&D expenses(1).

(3) Constant currency basis means that the applicable projected
financial measure is based upon the actual foreign exchange rates in
effect during 2006.

(4) Represents worldwide revenues for all pharmaceutical products,
excluding revenues included in notes (5) and (7).

(5) Represents worldwide revenues for pharmaceutical products
launched in the U.S. since 2006: Chantix/Champix, Eraxis,
Selzentry/Celsentri and Sutent.

(6) Total worldwide pharmaceutical revenues excluding the revenues
of major products that have lost exclusivity in the U.S. in 2007 and
2008 as described in note (7). See the table accompanying this report.

(7) Represents worldwide revenues for pharmaceutical products that
lost exclusivity in the U.S. in 2007 and 2008: Camptosar, Norvasc and
Zyrtec.

(8) Includes Consumer Healthcare business transition activity,
Capsugel and Pfizer Centersource.

(9) Current exchange rates approximate rates at the time of our
first quarter earnings press release (April 2008).

(10) Excludes the charges associated with business development
transactions not completed as of March 30, 2008.

* Calculation not meaningful.
Certain amounts and percentages may reflect rounding adjustments. (1) Total in-line and new products Pharmaceutical revenues, which
exclude the revenues of major products that have lost exclusivity in
the U.S. since the beginning of 2007, is an alternative view of our
Pharmaceutical revenues and we believe that investors’ understanding
of Pharmaceutical revenues is enhanced by disclosing this
performance measure. Norvasc lost its U.S. exclusivity in March 2007
and Camptosar lost its U.S. exclusivity in February 2008, and as is
typical in the pharmaceutical industry, this has resulted in a
dramatic decline in revenues due to generic competition.
Zyrtec/Zyrtec D lost its U.S. exclusivity in January 2008 and we
ceased marketing the product in late January 2008. We believe that
excluding the impact of these products assists the reader in
understanding the underlying strength of the balance of our diverse
Pharmaceutical product portfolio in 2008. Because of its non-
standardized definition, this total in-line and new products
Pharmaceutical revenues measure has limitations as it may not be
comparable with the calculation of similar measures of other
companies. This additional revenue measure is not, and should not be
viewed as, a substitute for the U.S. GAAP comparison of
Pharmaceutical revenues.

(2) Total in-line and new products Pharmaceutical international
revenues reflect a favorable impact in the first quarter of 2008 due
primarily to changes in foreign exchange rates.
PFIZER INC
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

1) Impact of Foreign Exchange on Revenues

The weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies,
primarily the euro, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen, favorably
impacted our revenues by approximately $570 million, or 5%, in
first-quarter 2008, compared to the same period in 2007.

2) Change in Cost of Sales

Reported cost of sales increased 5% in first-quarter 2008,
compared to the same period in 2007. The increase primarily reflects
the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, higher implementation
costs associated with our cost-reduction initiatives and costs related
to business-transition activities associated with the sale of our
Consumer Healthcare business, partially offset by the savings impact
of our cost-reduction initiatives.

Implementation charges in reported cost of sales related to our
cost-reduction initiatives were $138 million for the first quarter of
2008 and $94 million for the first quarter of 2007.

Reported cost of sales also included $48 million for first-quarter
2008 and $35 million for first-quarter 2007, related to
business-transition activities associated with the sale of our
Consumer Healthcare business, completed in December 2006. This
continuing activity is transitional in nature and generally results
from agreements that seek to facilitate the orderly transfer of
operations of our former Consumer Healthcare business to the new
owner.

Reported cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased 1.7
percentage points to 16.8% in first-quarter 2008, reflecting a less
favorable geographic and product mix (including the impact of the
products that lost exclusivity), the unfavorable impact of foreign
exchange and the impact of higher first-quarter 2008 implementation
costs associated with our cost-reduction initiatives, compared to
first-quarter 2007, partially offset by the savings impact of our
cost-reduction initiatives.

3) Change in Selling, Informational & Administrative (SI&A)
Expenses and Research & Development (R&D) Expenses

Reported SI&A expenses in first-quarter 2008 increased 4% compared
to the same period in 2007, reflecting the unfavorable impact of
foreign exchange, as well as the impact of higher 2008 implementation
costs associated with our cost-reduction initiatives, partially offset
by savings associated with our cost-reduction initiatives.

Implementation charges in reported SI&A expenses related to our
cost-reduction initiatives were $75 million for first quarter 2008 and
$49 million for first-quarter 2007.

Reported R&D expenses, excluding acquisition-related in-process
research and development charges (IPR&D), increased 8% in
first-quarter 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. The increase
is primarily due to higher first-quarter 2008 implementation costs
associated with our cost-reduction initiatives and the unfavorable
impact of foreign exchange on expenses, partially offset by the
non-recurrence of first-quarter 2007 milestone payments.

Implementation charges in reported R&D expenses related to our
cost-reduction initiatives were $146 million for first-quarter 2008
and $31 million for first-quarter 2007.

IPR&D charges in first-quarter 2008 of $398 million primarily
related to the acquisitions of CovX and Coley Pharmaceutical Group,
Inc. IPR&D charges in 2007 of $283 million primarily related to the
acquisitions of BioRexis Pharmaceutical Corp. and Embrex, Inc.

*Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation.

(a) The decrease in net interest income in first-quarter 2008
compared to the same periods in 2007 was due primarily to lower cash
balances and lower interest rates.

5) Effective Tax Rate

The effective tax rate on reported Income from continuing
operations before provision for taxes on income and minority interests
for first-quarter 2008 was 21.5% compared to 17.0% in first-quarter
2007, reflecting a decrease in and change in geographic mix of
expenses incurred to execute our cost-reduction initiatives, as well
as an increase in IPR&D expenditures, which generally are not
deductible for tax purposes.

The effective tax rate on adjusted income(1) was 21.9% in
first-quarter 2008 compared to 21.7% in first-quarter 2007.

(1) “Adjusted income” and “adjusted diluted earnings per share
(EPS)” are defined as reported net income and reported diluted EPS
excluding purchase-accounting adjustments, acquisition-related costs,
discontinued operations and certain significant items. As described
under Adjusted Income in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of Pfizer’s Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, management uses
adjusted income, among other factors, to set performance goals and to
measure the performance of the overall company. We believe that
investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing
this measure. The adjusted income and adjusted diluted EPS measures
are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for U.S. GAAP net
income and diluted EPS.
