Pfizer's 2025 key priorities include improving R&D productivity with sharpened focus, achieving commercial excellence in key categories, and optimizing capital allocation, indicating a strategic emphasis on innovation and market leadership.

The acquisition of Seagen in December 2023 significantly expands Pfizer's oncology portfolio, adding innovative ADC (Antibody-Drug Conjugate) technologies and several marketed cancer therapies.

The company launched a multi-year cost realignment program expected to deliver $4.5 billion in net cost savings by the end of 2025. A manufacturing optimization program is expected to generate $1.5 billion in savings by the end of 2027.

Pfizer transitioned activities within Pfizer Oncology Division to other parts of Biopharma and consolidated ORD and PRD into a single R&D organization to strengthen capabilities and leadership in discovering and developing breakthrough medicines and vaccines.

Pfizer is actively managing its supply chain and raw materials sourcing, including supplier management, qualification of additional suppliers, and advanced purchasing, to mitigate potential disruptions and impacts on costs.

Pfizer announced a goal to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve the Science Based Target Initiative's voluntary Net-Zero Standard by 2040, demonstrating a commitment to environmental sustainability.

A small number of products account for a significant portion of Pfizer's revenues, and any factor negatively impacting these products could have a material adverse effect on the company's financial performance.

Loss of patent protection and the introduction of generic and biosimilar competitors can substantially decrease revenues for impacted products, often in a short period of time.

The company is subject to numerous legal proceedings and extensive government regulations, including those related to pricing, intellectual property, and market access, which could have a material adverse effect on the company's business.

The company competes with other worldwide research-based biopharmaceutical companies, smaller research companies with more limited therapeutic focus, and generic drug and biosimilar manufacturers.

To address competitive trends, Pfizer continually emphasizes innovation through multi-billion-dollar investment in R&D and business development transactions, aiming for a strong and differentiated product pipeline.

Biosimilars compete with branded products and other generics/biosimilars, and Pfizer seeks to establish early market positions to provide customers a lower-cost alternative.

The enterprise-wide cost realignment program, launched in October 2023, aims to realign costs with longer-term revenue expectations and is expected to deliver $4.5 billion in net cost savings by the end of 2025.

The Manufacturing Optimization Program, launched in May 2024, aims to reduce costs of goods sold through operational efficiencies, network structure changes, and product portfolio enhancements, with $1.5 billion in savings expected by the end of 2027.

Active supplier management and advanced purchasing are used to reduce potential risks and impacts on costs, indicating a focus on supply chain efficiency.

R&D is at the heart of fulfilling Pfizer's purpose to deliver breakthroughs that change patients' lives, translating advanced science and technologies into impactful medicines and vaccines.

R&D primarily focuses on oncology, internal medicine (including cardiovascular and migraine), vaccines, and inflammation and immunology.

Pfizer is advancing new models for partnerships with creativity, flexibility, and urgency to deliver innovation to patients as quickly as possible.

Pfizer's capital allocation framework is primarily devised to enhance shareholder value and is based on maintaining/growing dividends, reinvesting in the business, and making share repurchases after de-levering the balance sheet.

The company's dividend policy aims to provide a return to shareholders while maintaining sufficient capital to invest in growing the business.

The proceeds from the sale of Haleon shares will be used to support the company's capital allocation priorities, indicating a strategic approach to managing investments.

Pfizer is taking a proactive approach to environmental sustainability initiatives and announced a goal to further reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and achieve the Science Based Target Initiative's voluntary Net-Zero Standard by 2040.

Pfizer works to create an environment that prioritizes colleagues' health and wellness, with a people-centric approach touching every aspect of the employee experience.

Pfizer is committed to equitable pay practices for employees based on role, education, experience, performance, and location and conducts and reports publicly on pay equity on an annual basis.

Pfizer operates on a global scale and could be affected by currency and interest rate fluctuations, capital and exchange controls, and local and global economic conditions.

Pricing and access pressures in the commercial sector continue to be significant, and private third-party payors increasingly challenge pharmaceutical product pricing.

Pfizer is subject to extensive regulation by government authorities, including the approval, manufacturing and marketing of products, pricing, and interactions with healthcare professionals.
