Financial Performance

Total revenues increased by 31% year-over-year, reaching $17.7 billion, driven by a 33% increase in product revenues and a 16% increase in alliance revenues. Royalty revenues also experienced a substantial increase, growing by 48% year-over-year.

Cost of sales decreased by 43% year-over-year, primarily due to a non-recurrence of a non-cash charge of $5.6 billion recorded in the third quarter of 2023 related to inventory write-offs and related charges. This decrease significantly contributed to improved profitability.

Net income attributable to Pfizer Inc. common shareholders was $4.5 billion in the third quarter of 2024, compared to a net loss of $2.4 billion in the same quarter of 2023. This substantial improvement reflects the positive impact of increased revenues and decreased cost of sales.
