As a result of Pfizer's decision to sell the Capsugel business, Capsugel is presented as a discontinued operation in the consolidated statements of income for first-quarter 2011 and first-quarter 2010. Therefore, all revenues and expenses related to Capsugel in both periods are presented in a single line, Discontinued operations - net of tax. Additionally, due to the acquisition of King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King), legacy King operations are reflected in first-quarter 2011 results beginning January 31, 2011 in accordance with Pfizer's domestic and international reporting periods, but are not reflected in first-quarter 2010 results.

For first-quarter 2011, U.S. revenues were $7.0 billion, a decrease of 3% compared with the year-ago quarter. International revenues were $9.5 billion, an increase of 2% compared with the prior-year quarter, which reflected 1% operational growth and a 1% favorable impact of foreign exchange. U.S. revenues represented 43% of total revenues in first-quarter 2011 compared with 44% in the year-ago quarter, while international revenues represented 57% of total revenues in first-quarter 2011 compared with 56% in the year-ago quarter.

Primary Care unit revenues in first-quarter 2011 were driven by growth from certain patent-protected products, including Lyrica, Spiriva, Pristiq and Celebrex, among others, in key international markets, as well as the addition of legacy King products, and negatively impacted by the loss of exclusivity of Lipitor in Canada and Spain in May and July 2010, respectively, as well as the loss of exclusivity of Aricept in the U.S. in November 2010. Taken together, the loss of exclusivity for these products in those markets reduced Primary Care revenues by approximately $590 million, or 10%, in comparison with first-quarter 2010. Specialty Care unit revenues were positively impacted by strong growth in the Prevnar/Prevenar franchise, Enbrel and Zyvox, notably in the U.S. and Japan. Established Products unit revenues were mainly impacted by the loss of exclusivity and resulting increased competition with respect to Effexor, Protonix and Zosyn/Tazocin, partially offset by the addition of legacy King products. Emerging Markets unit revenues were positively impacted by growth in both innovative brands, such as Enbrel, Lyrica, Sutent and Vfend, as well as established products. Total revenues from established products in both the Established Products and Emerging Markets units were $3.3 billion, with $915 million generated in emerging markets. Animal Health unit revenues were favorably impacted by approximately $50 million, or 6%, due to the addition of legacy King products.

Ian Read, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "I am pleased not only with our solid financial performance during the first quarter despite the loss of exclusivity of several products in the U.S. and other geographies, but also with our ability to enhance shareholder value through various initiatives, including our increased share repurchase activity so far this year. Many of our products, notably the Prevnar/Prevenar franchise and Lyrica, continued to perform well. In addition, our Emerging Markets unit delivered 8% operational growth, driven by many of our priority countries, notably China, and continued to benefit from our ongoing targeted investment."

"With our strong base of people, platforms and in-line and pipeline compounds combined with our continuing focus on improving returns on investment, I believe we are well positioned to succeed in fixing our innovative core, which, if successful, can lead to greater value in both the near and longer-term. I am pleased to report that during this year we expect to present phase 3 clinical data for tofacitinib in rheumatoid arthritis, axitinib for renal cell carcinoma, Prevnar/Prevenar 13 for the prevention of pneumococcal disease in adults, and Eliquis for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation, as well as phase 2 clinical data for crizotinib for non-small cell lung cancer, among others. For crizotinib, we remain on-track with our rolling U.S. submission, which began in January. Additionally, we continue to anticipate filings in the U.S. and EU by the end of 2011 for certain other oncology compounds as well as for tofacitinib and Eliquis. Further, we expect to receive actions later this year on our U.S. and EU filings of Prevnar/Prevenar 13 for the prevention of pneumococcal disease in adults."

"Lastly, we remain focused on continuing the evaluation of our business portfolio to determine the optimal mix of businesses to maximize our return. We expect to complete this evaluation during the second half of 2011," Mr. Read concluded.
