Sum of quarterly amounts may not equal year-to-date amounts due to rounding.

  1. Because the company recorded a net loss in the fourth quarter of 2020, no potential dilutive common shares were used in the computation of loss per common share assuming dilution as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Income from discontinued operations was also computed using average common shares outstanding.

Only the line items that are affected by non-GAAP adjustments are shown.

Merck is providing certain non-GAAP information that excludes certain items because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on the analysis of underlying business performance and trends. Management believes that providing this information enhances investors' understanding of the company's results as it permits investors to understand how management assesses performance. Management uses these measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and to measure the performance of the company along with other metrics. In addition, senior management's annual compensation is derived in part using non-GAAP pretax income. This information should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

  1. Amounts included in cost of sales primarily reflect expenses for the amortization of intangible assets. Amounts included in selling, general and administrative expenses reflect acquisition and divestiture-related costs. Amounts included in research and development expenses primarily reflect expenses for the amortization of intangible assets. Amounts included in other (income) expense, net, for the third quarter and nine months period primarily reflect an increase in the estimated fair value measurement of liabilities for contingent consideration related to the termination of the Sanofi-Pasteur MSD joint venture. Additionally, the first nine months also includes a loss on a forward exchange contract entered into in conjunction with the Organon spinoff. Amount included in other (income) expense, net, for the nine month period is partially offset by royalty income related to the termination of the Sanofi-Pasteur MSD joint venture.
  2. Amounts primarily include employee separation costs and accelerated depreciation associated with facilities to be closed or divested related to activities under the company's formal restructuring programs.
  3. Represents charges for the discontinuation of COVID-19 development programs.
  4. Amounts included in the third quarter and first nine months reflect a $90 million adjustment to deferred tax assets identified in conjunction with the VelosBio Inc. acquisition. Additionally, the first nine months includes a $1.7 billion charge for the acquisition of Pandion Therapeutics, Inc.
  5. Represent the estimated tax impacts on the reconciling items based on applying the statutory rate of the originating territory of the non-GAAP adjustments. Certain other items for the nine month period also includes a $207 million net tax benefit related to the settlement of certain federal income tax matters.

  1. Amounts included in cost of sales primarily reflect expenses for the amortization of intangible assets. Amounts included in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses reflect acquisition and divestiture-related costs, including $95 million of transaction costs in the nine month period related to the acquisition of Arqule, Inc. Amounts included in research and development expenses primarily reflect a reduction in expenses related to a decrease in the estimated fair value measurement of liabilities for contingent consideration. Amounts included in other (income) expense, net, primarily reflect costs related to increases in the estimated fair value measurement of liabilities for contingent consideration, partially offset by royalty income related to the termination of the Sanofi-Pasteur MSD joint venture.
  2. Amounts primarily include employee separation costs and accelerated depreciation associated with facilities to be closed or divested related to activities under the company's formal restructuring programs.
  3. Represents expenses for upfront payments related to license and collaboration agreements.
  4. Represent the estimated tax impacts on the reconciling items based on applying the statutory rate of the originating territory of the non-GAAP adjustments. Acquisition and divestiture-related costs also includes a tax cost of $67 million, representing an adjustment to the tax benefits recorded in conjunction with the 2015 Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc. acquisition.
