Filing Highlights

Financial Performance

Total revenues decreased by $3.6 billion, or 20%, compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to lower sales of Comirnaty and Paxlovid. The operational decrease was 19% and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange was 1%.

Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders decreased to $3.1 billion from $5.5 billion, a decrease of 44%, due to lower revenues, higher net interest expense, lower dividend income, and an increase in amortization of intangible assets.

Cost of sales decreased by 31% year-over-year, but the gross profit margin also decreased due to lower sales of Comirnaty and Paxlovid, which resulted in a lower related charge for the 50% gross profit split with BioNTech and applicable royalty expenses.
