PRESENTATION

David Reed Risinger - Morgan Stanley, Research Division - MD in Equity Research and United States Pharmaceuticals Analyst

So thanks, everyone, for joining us for the Pfizer session. I just need to refer you to disclaimers at www.morganstanley.com/researchdisclosures. It's my pleasure to welcome Frank D'Amelio. He is Executive Vice President of Business Operations and Chief Financial Officer, and he's been with the company now 12 years, so time flies. But I thought it would be great to have you, Frank, start with a few opening remarks, and then we'll take it from there.

Frank A. D'Amelio - Pfizer Inc. - CFO & EVP of Global Supply & Business Operations

So just - I'm delighted to be here. I look forward to answering questions and hopefully being as helpful as I can possibly be to the audience regarding Pfizer and NewCo and any questions that Dave and you all have. So I'm just looking forward to the session.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

David Reed Risinger - Morgan Stanley, Research Division - MD in Equity Research and United States Pharmaceuticals Analyst

Excellent. Well, maybe you could talk a little bit about the transformation of the company. Obviously, you announced the Upjohn deal with Mylan to focus the company on core growth assets and franchises, so maybe you could speak to that. And as you comment, if you could also maybe touch on what you think the market may underappreciate about that deal.

Frank A. D'Amelio - Pfizer Inc. - CFO & EVP of Global Supply & Business Operations

Sure. So I always say - I mean I think the market has a good handle on the transaction, but let me make some comments and see if I can add to that a little bit. So when you think about Pfizer, call it, a year or so ago or even at the end of July, so we completed the Consumer joint venture. So basically, we'll do equity accounting now in Consumer joint venture. We'll have 32% of that venture, and we'll bring it into the results through Other Income equity accounting.

Then we announced the NewCo with our Upjohn business and Mylan. So say that, that closes, give or take, in approximately a year, so the middle of 2020. Just come - when that closes, Dave, we, Pfizer RemainCo or new Pfizer I call it, we're a dramatically different company than what we've been in the past. Come the close of the NewCo, we're a pure innovative play. So think about it as a pure innovative play on a smaller base, call it, give or take, about a $40 billion base, and we can talk about that if you all would like in the Q&A, too.

Now a couple of other points to make here. One, we keep our entire pipeline, RemainCo Pfizer. We keep all the growth products. We're going through a period of very low LOEs for the company. So this year, give or take about $2.4 billion in LOEs; next year, about $2 billion in LOEs; 2021, $1 billion or less; 2022 to 2025, about $500 million or less. Now just to be clear, I like the financial effect. I like the fact that we have low LOEs, but I want to be crystal clear. I don't like the operational costs. But the fact that we have low LOEs is because we had poor R&D productivity many years ago, and that's changed over the last few years. But to me, a few billion every year in LOE is our normal business. That is what we should expect if our R&D pipeline is doing what it's supposed to be doing. So very low LOEs at a time when our pipeline is the best it's been since I've been here. And to your point, tomorrow, I'm here literally 12 years with Pfizer, so I've got some history now with the company.

If you look at the Phase 3 readouts we're going to have next year and the Phase 3 starts we're going to have next year, the POC readouts we're going to have next year, we're really in a good position in terms of the LOE - the LOEs we'll be dealing with and then the strength of our pipeline literally over that same period. So it's a real nice confluence of positive events.

So from my perspective, what we did in terms of becoming a pure innovative play, the timing of this really couldn't be better, at least in terms of the time I've been with Pfizer. Obviously, I can't speak to before I came to the company. Maybe another couple other points on this then I'll stop.

So what is management? So what is Pfizer management? What's the executive leadership team going to be focused on, right? I mean, from my perspective, it's the things we've been focused on. It's maximizing the opportunities for our in-line portfolio, executing on our pipeline, managing our cost structure and being really disciplined and prudent with how we deploy our capital. And what do we want to do? Ultimately, we want all of that to translate to, for new Pfizer, approximately 6% growth on the top line and then obviously leveraging that and doing better than that on the bottom line. And hopefully, over the years, we've demonstrated our ability to manage our cost structure and to deploy capital in an effective way. So that's kind of how I think about the rhythm of the company.

David Reed Risinger - Morgan Stanley, Research Division - MD in Equity Research and United States Pharmaceuticals Analyst

Great. And then could you talk to some of those initial rough targets that you would convey? My understanding is that they might have been a little conservative with the $40 billion and the 35% pretax margin for RemainCo. So maybe talk to that first, and then we could pivot to NewCo.

Frank A. D'Amelio - Pfizer Inc. - CFO & EVP of Global Supply & Business Operations

Sure. So I want to - before I answer the question, I want to provide some context because it's a really good question. I've been asked this a few times now, so I want to provide context. So think it's the end of July. We're announcing NewCo. NewCo is providing 2020 numbers: $19 billion to $20 billion in revenues, $7.5 billion to $8.5 billion in EBITDA. They're talking about free cash flow. They're talking about dividends. They're talking about leverage. So NewCo is providing a whole bunch of 2020 and beyond targets. So now on RemainCo, new Pfizer but RemainCo, right or wrong, Dave, we and I concluded we have to provide some numbers for 2020.

To have that call, to have NewCo providing numbers for 2020 and for Pfizer RemainCo to not be providing numbers is just not a prudent thing to do, kind of point one. Point two, if you think about the cadence of our company and how I've always done guidance, what is my rhythm on guidance? I always provide guidance when I close out the fourth quarter. So typically, the guidance we provide for any given year, so I'll use 2020, typically, when would I do that? At the end of January, when I'm closing out the prior year, so in this case, it would be 2019 and providing guidance for 2020. Come January, the end of January, we'll have our fourth quarter earnings call. We've always done that since I've been here, so we're very, very early in our operating planning process for 2020. And typically, we don't formalize that until the end of the year, literally until December.

So given we concluded and I concluded we needed to provide 2020 numbers, the way I would describe it is I set the bar low. And obviously, the intention is when we do provide, I'll call it, formal guidance for 2020, that we'll improve upon it, and that's how I think about it. And so in my mind, they were directional. The numbers were directional. Now if you listened to our earnings call, the first question on the earnings call was, "Frank,

3

does this mean you're giving us guidance for 2020, an EPS number of $2.10?" But the math on that was simple, right? It was $40 billion times 35% times our attach rate divided by our shares outstanding. You get $2.076, and you round it to $2.10. The math is pretty simple. And my answer was no, that's not the intent of the numbers, but obviously, that's what happened with the numbers that we provided.

So to summarize, set the bar low given how early we are in the operating planning process. Obviously, our intention would be to improve upon those numbers, and we give guidance in the future. You all should expect that we'll provide guidance like we typically do when we close out our fourth quarter earnings call, before we close out the year, provide guidance for the coming year. That's the way to think about it.

David Reed Risinger - Morgan Stanley, Research Division - MD in Equity Research and United States Pharmaceuticals Analyst

Okay. Very helpful. And then maybe you could talk about Upjohn and RemainCo. I guess you have provided those numbers for RemainCo for next year. Maybe you could talk to your level of confidence in those numbers and then how one should think about Upjohn, I guess, since that's the business you own and the best currently, how we should think about that beyond 2020. That would be helpful as well.

Frank A. D'Amelio - Pfizer Inc. - CFO & EVP of Global Supply & Business Operations

Right. So let me do Upjohn first, and I'll talk about RemainCo and see if I answer your question. But I'll talk about Upjohn through 2020. Come post 2020, Pfizer is not going to have - once we do the NewCo, Pfizer won't have a continuing ownership position in NewCo. Now I want to be clear. I very much want NewCo to do exceptionally well because our shareholders are going to own 57% of NewCo, but Pfizer won't have an ownership position in NewCo.

So I'll talk about the numbers as we printed for the 2020 period. So everyone saw the numbers we printed, about $19 billion to $20 billion for the company, about $7.5 billion to $8 billion in EBITDA. For Upjohn, it was about $7.5 billion to $8 billion in revenue, call it, $3.8 billion to $4.1 billion in EBITDA.

So let me talk about the Upjohn numbers. And from my perspective, if you were say to me, Dave, what's kind of the big potential variable item there, which is what I think you're asking me, I'd say China. And if you think about it, and everyone saw the announcement last week, I'm sure, we went from the - on the volume-based procurement, we went from the 4 plus 7, the 11 cities to all 25 provinces. Now in the numbers that we provided, and by the way, those numbers were a collaboration. Obviously, Pfizer management and the NewCo management team, we worked those numbers together in terms of what we showed for NewCo. We assumed volume-based procurement was going to be in all 25 provinces come the beginning of 2020. So I don't see that announcement, that action by China as having some material meaningful impact on the numbers that we provided. We anticipated that in our numbers. So that's how I would talk about NewCo.

Excellent. And I just want to go back to Upjohn/Mylan and then focus much of the rest of the time on RemainCo. But as you contemplated that transaction, obviously, you did due diligence on Mylan's prospects. It's a controversial company. Can you talk about the visibility you believe you have on essentially their portion of the numbers, so that portion to get to NewCo's numbers for 2020, and then how we should think about leadership of NewCo?

Frank A. D'Amelio - Pfizer Inc. - CFO & EVP of Global Supply & Business Operations

Sure. So we did thorough, thorough, thorough diligence, and the way we do diligence is we do - we go in and we do it by work stream. We've done lots of acquisitions, so we're real good at diligence. We're real good at integration. So we obviously went in there. We had a bunch of work streams that reviewed the various elements of the company, manufacturing work stream, our legal work stream, our finance work stream, our research work stream, a whole series of work streams that we go into diligence of the company. So quite frankly, in terms of the numbers that they put out and how do I feel about them, quite frankly, I feel fairly comfortable in all of what we saw in our diligence and, obviously, the numbers that we put out. But the intent is to put numbers out that we're going to make, right? Basically, we always do what we say we're going to do.

Maybe a couple of other points on this. Think about our Upjohn business the following way: 20 iconic brands but no pipeline. Mylan and Pfizer, Upjohn was really never going to get a pipeline because its pipeline was really products that were losing patent - products that were losing patent - there's a patent protection, of which there isn't much, between now and 2025. Lyrica is already there, which is the big one we're going - we lost this year, and that will have the big impact on revenue come 2020. So there really isn't a pipeline. And then when you're competing for capital inside Pfizer and you're looking at business cases, Upjohn's really never going to get a lot of R&D capital. It's always going to be biased towards the Innovative business. So you look at the Upjohn business on a going-forward basis. You look at Mylan. Quite frankly, when we did our diligence, I
