Pfizer Inc.reported financial results for fourth-quarter and full-year 2010. Since the acquisition of Wyeth was completed on October 15, 2009, fourth-quarter and full-year 2009 results reflect the legacy Wyeth operations from the acquisition date through Pfizer’s domestic and international year-ends (see note 17); results for all periods in 2010 reflect the legacy Wyeth operations. Fourth-quarter 2010 revenues were $17.6 billion, an increase of 6% compared with $16.5 billion in the year-ago quarter. Revenues for fourth-quarter 2010 compared with the year-ago quarter were favorably impacted by $2.3 billion, or 14%, due to legacy Wyeth products, negatively impacted by $1.2 billion, or 7%, due to legacy Pfizer products, and negatively impacted by $70 million, or 1%, due to foreign exchange. For fourth-quarter 2010, U.S. revenues were $7.2 billion, a decrease of 3% compared with the year-ago quarter. International revenues were $10.3 billion, an increase of 13% compared with the prior-year quarter, which reflected 14% operational growth partially offset by a 1% unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. U.S. revenues represented 41% of total revenues in fourth-quarter 2010 compared with 45% in the year-ago quarter, while international revenues represented 59% of total revenues in fourth-quarter 2010 compared with 55% in the year-ago quarter.

For full-year 2010, revenues were $67.8 billion, an increase of 36% compared with $50.0 billion in full-year 2009. Revenues for full-year 2010 compared with full-year 2009 were favorably impacted by $18.1 billion, or 37%, due to legacy Wyeth products, and by $1.1 billion, or 2%, due to foreign exchange, and negatively impacted by $1.4 billion, or 3%, due to legacy Pfizer products. U.S. revenues were $29.0 billion, an increase of 34% compared with full-year 2009. International revenues were $38.8 billion, an increase of 37% compared with full-year 2009, which reflected 33% operational growth and a 4% favorable impact of foreign exchange. U.S. revenues represented 43% and international revenues represented 57% of total revenues for full-year 2010, comparable with full-year 2009.
