Adjusted EPS and adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2009 and 2008 exclude, for the applicable periods, stock option expense, certain expenses related to acquisitions, restructuring charges, the income tax benefit as a result of resolving certain non-routine transfer pricing issues with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), loss accruals for settlements of certain commercial legal proceedings and certain other items. In addition, adjusted EPS and adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2009 and 2008 exclude the incremental non-cash interest expense resulting from a change in accounting for convertible debt as discussed below. These expenses and other items are itemized on the attached reconciliation tables.

to
Worldwide sales of Aranesp (darbepoetin alfa) decreased 16 percent to
Sales of EPOGEN (Epoetin alfa) increased 3 percent to
Combined worldwide sales of Neulasta (pegfilgrastim) and NEUPOGEN
(Filgrastim) decreased 4 percent to

Operating Expense Analysis on an Adjusted Basis: Cost of sales increased 3 percent to$527 million in the second quarter of 2009 versus$512 million in the second quarter of 2008 primarily driven by higher fill and finish costs resulting from lower utilization at our manufacturing facility inPuerto Rico . Research & Development (R&D) expenses were$657 million in the second quarter of 2009 versus$779 million in the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of 16 percent. This decrease is in part due to the$100 million expense in the second quarter of 2008 resulting from the upfront payment associated with the Kyowa Hakko collaboration. The remainder of the expense decrease was primarily driven by lower clinical trial costs for denosumab and Vectibix registrational studies, partially offset by a$50 million expense in the second quarter of 2009 resulting from the payment to obtain an exclusive license toCytokinetics' cardiac contractility program. Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses were relatively unchanged at$891 million in the second quarter of 2009 versus$894 million in the prior year. Lower staff related expenses, lower litigation expenses, and lower enterprise resource planning (ERP) system related expenses were offset by higher promotional expenses for marketed products, increased spending for activities in preparation and anticipation of approval and launch of denosumab, and higher expenses associated with theWyeth profit share due to higher ENBREL sales. Excluding expenses associated with theWyeth profit share of$301 million and$283 million in the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, adjusted SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2009 decreased 3 percent versus the same quarter last year.
The adjusted tax rate in the second quarter of 2009 was 18.1 percent
compared to 22.2 percent in the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in the
adjusted tax rate is primarily due to increased bulk manufacturing and profits
in
Average diluted shares for adjusted EPS in the second quarter of 2009 were 1,016 million versus 1,080 million in the second quarter of 2008.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements that involve
significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and
others that can be found in our Form 10-K for the year ended
No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. The Company's results may be affected by our ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally, clinical and regulatory developments (domestic or foreign) involving current and future products, sales growth of recently launched products, competition from other products (domestic or foreign) and difficulties or delays in manufacturing our products. In addition, sales of our products are affected by reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payors, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and health care cost containment as well as U.S. legislation affecting pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement. Government and others' regulations and reimbursement policies may affect the development, usage and pricing of our products. Furthermore, our research, testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities. We or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products after they are on the market. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. Further, while we routinely obtain patents for our products and technology, the protection offered by our patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors. We depend on third parties for a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity for the supply of certain of our current and future products and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to some of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. Discovery or identification of new product candidates cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, some raw materials, medical devices and component parts for our products are supplied by sole third-party suppliers.

Notes to Reconciliation of GAAP Earnings to "Adjusted" Earnings (In millions, except per share data) (Unaudited) (a) EffectiveJanuary 1, 2009 , we adopted FSP APB 14-1, which changed the method of accounting for our convertible notes. In addition, as required, we revised our previously reported financial statements to retrospectively apply this change in accounting to prior periods. Under this new method of accounting, the debt and equity components of our convertible notes are bifurcated and accounted for separately. The equity components of our convertible notes are included in Stockholders' equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with a corresponding reduction in the carrying values of our convertible notes as of the date of issuance or modification, as applicable. The reduced carrying values of our convertible notes are being accreted back to their principal amounts through the recognition of non-cash interest expense. This results in recognizing interest expense on these borrowings at effective rates approximating what we would have incurred had we issued nonconvertible debt with otherwise similar terms. In connection with applying this new accounting to prior periods, we recorded$58 million and$115 million of additional non-cash interest expense in the three and six months endedJune 30, 2008 , respectively. As a result, our previously reported results of operations calculated in accordance with GAAP have been revised for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2008 , as follows: Three months ended June 30, 2008 --------------------------------------------- As originally Effect of FSP APB reported 14-1 "Revised" ------------- ----------------- --------- Operating income $1,179 $- $1,179 Interest expense, net 79 58 137 Interest and other income, net 88 - 88 --- --- --- Income before income taxes 1,188 (58) 1,130 Provision for income taxes 247 (23) 224 --- --- --- Net income $941 $(35) $906 ==== ==== ==== Earnings per share: Basic $0.87 $(0.03) $0.84 Diluted $0.87 $(0.03) $0.84 Six months ended June 30, 2008 --------------------------------------------- As originally Effect of FSP APB reported 14-1 "Revised" ------------- ----------------- --------- Operating income $2,594 $- $2,594 Interest expense, net 171 115 286 Interest and other income, net 202 - 202 --- --- --- Income before income taxes 2,625 (115) 2,510 Provision for income taxes 548 (44) 504 --- --- --- Net income $2,077 $(71) $2,006 ====== ==== ====== Earnings per share: Basic $1.92 $(0.07) $1.85 Diluted $1.91 $(0.06) $1.85 (b) To exclude the impact of stock option expense recorded in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123R.
