On October 25, 2010, the Governor of Puerto Rico signed into law Act 154 to modify the Puerto Rico source-of-income rules and implement an excise tax on the purchase of products by multinational corporations and their subsidiaries from their Puerto Rico affiliates that will be in effect from 2011 through 2016. Act 154 had no impact on our results in 2010, since it did not become effective until 2011. Act 154 had a negative impact on our results in 2011 and will continue to negatively impact results through 2016. The impact of Act 154 is recorded in Cost of sales and Provision for taxes on income. The impact this year is reflected in our financial guidance for 2012.

The Adjusted income measure is an important internal measurement for Pfizer. We measure the performance of the overall Company on this basis in conjunction with other performance metrics. The following are examples of how the Adjusted income measure is utilized:

• senior management receives a monthly analysis of our operating results that is prepared on an Adjusted income basis;

• our annual budgets are prepared on an Adjusted income basis; and

• senior management’s annual compensation is derived, in part, using this Adjusted income measure. Adjusted income is one of the performance metrics utilized in the determination of bonuses under the Pfizer Inc.
