Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1 Background and Basis of Presentation
Background
The principal business of AbbVie Inc. (AbbVie or the company) is the discovery, development, manufacture, and sale of a broad line of pharmaceutical products. AbbVies products are generally sold worldwide directly to wholesalers, distributors, government agencies, health care facilities, specialty pharmacies, and independent retailers from AbbVie-owned distribution centers and public warehouses. Substantially all of AbbVies net revenues in the United States are to three wholesalers. Outside the United States, products are sold primarily to customers or through distributors, depending on the market served.
AbbVie was incorporated in Delaware on April 10, 2012. On January 1, 2013, AbbVie became an independent, publicly-traded company as a result of the distribution by Abbott Laboratories (Abbott) of 100% of the outstanding common stock of AbbVie to Abbotts shareholders. In connection with the separation, AbbVie and Abbott entered into transition services agreements covering certain corporate support and back office services that AbbVie historically received from Abbott. Such services included information technology, accounts payable, payroll, receivables collection, treasury and other financial functions, as well as order entry, warehousing, engineering support, quality assurance support and other administrative services. These agreements facilitated the separation by allowing AbbVie to operate independently prior to establishing stand-alone back office functions across its organization. The transition services agreements had original terms of up to 24 months, with an option for a one-year extension. The majority of these transaction service agreements expired without extension at December 31, 2014. With certain limited exceptions, the remaining transition services agreements terminated on or prior to December 31, 2015.
Basis of Historical Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of AbbVie have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been omitted. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the companys audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
It is managements opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the companys financial position and operating results. Net revenues and net earnings for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. Certain reclassifications were made to conform the prior period interim condensed consolidated financial statements to the current period presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Summary and Amendments That Create Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Other Assets and Deferred CostsContracts with Customers (Subtopic 340-40). The amendments in this standard supersede most current revenue recognition requirements. The core principal of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. AbbVie can apply the amendments using one of the following two methods: (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or (ii) modified retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments recognized at the date of initial application. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-4, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year for all entities. Accordingly, this standard will be effective for AbbVie starting with the first quarter of 2018. Early application is permitted for AbbVie only for annual reporting periods starting with the first quarter of 2017. AbbVie is currently assessing the impact and timing of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and the implementation approach to be used.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial InstrumentsOverall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard requires several targeted changes including that equity investments (except
those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net earnings. The new guidance also changes certain disclosure requirements and other aspects of current U.S. GAAP. Amendments are to be applied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. This standard will be effective for AbbVie starting with the first quarter of 2018. The standard does not permit early adoption with the exception of certain targeted provisions. AbbVie is currently assessing the impact and timing of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 outlines a comprehensive lease accounting model and supercedes the current lease guidance. The new standard requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. It also changes the definition of a lease and expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. The new standard must be adopted using the modified retrospective approach and will be effective for AbbVie starting with the first quarter of 2019. Early adoption is permitted. AbbVie is currently assessing the impact and timing of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, CompensationStock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under the new guidance, excess tax benefits associated with share-based awards will be recognized in the statement of earnings when the awards vest or settle, rather than in stockholders equity. In addition, the standard will increase the number of shares an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on share-based payment awards and still qualify for the exemption to liability classification. The standard also permits entities to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur as well as clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The guidance will be effective for AbbVie starting with the first quarter of 2017. Early adoption is permitted with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. AbbVie is currently assessing the impact and timing of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Interest expense, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 increased due to the May 2015 issuance of $16.7 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which were issued primarily to finance the acquisition of Pharmacyclics, Inc. (Pharmacyclics), as well as the May 2016 issuance of $7.8 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which were issued primarily to finance the acquisition of Stemcentrx, Inc. (Stemcentrx) and to repay the companys outstanding $2.0 billion term loan maturing in November 2016. These increases were partially offset by the absence of bridge financing-related costs of $27 million and $86 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, incurred in connection with the acquisition of Pharmacyclics. Refer to Note 4 for additional information related to the acquisitions of Stemcentrx and Pharmacyclics.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $108 million and $104 million, respectively, and was $211 million and $194 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Note 3 Earnings Per Share
AbbVie calculates earnings per share (EPS) using the more dilutive of the treasury stock or the two-class method. For all periods presented, the two-class method was more dilutive. As such, the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock units (RSUs) and restricted stock awards (RSAs) of approximately 2 million and 3 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, were excluded from the denominator for the calculation of diluted EPS. These awards otherwise would have been included in the calculation of EPS under the treasury stock method. Additionally, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) allocable to participating securities, including performance-based awards not otherwise included in the calculation of EPS under the treasury stock method, were excluded from the numerator for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share under the two-class method. Earnings allocable to participating securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were $8 million and $15 million, respectively. The dilutive effect of unvested RSUs and RSAs excluded from the denominator for the calculation of diluted EPS for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were approximately 3 million shares, respectively. Earnings allocable to participating securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were $7 million and $11 million, respectively.
As further described in Note 10, AbbVie entered into and executed a $3.8 billion and a $5.0 billion accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR) with two separate third party financial institutions on June 1, 2016 and May 26, 2015, respectively. For purposes of calculating EPS for the periods presented, AbbVie reflected both ASRs as a repurchase of AbbVie common stock and as a forward contract indexed to its own common stock in the relevant periods.
Certain common shares, including shares expected to be received under the final settlement of the ASRs and certain shares issuable under stock-based compensation plans, were excluded from the computation of EPS because the effect would have been antidilutive. The number of common shares excluded were not material for any period presented.
Note 4 Licensing, Acquisitions and Other Arrangements
Acquisition of Stemcentrx
On June 1, 2016, AbbVie acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Stemcentrx, a privately held biotechnology company. The transaction expands AbbVies oncology pipeline by adding the late-stage asset rovalpituzumab tesirine (Rova-T), four additional early-stage clinical compounds in solid tumor indications, and a significant portfolio of pre-clinical assets. Rova-T is currently in registrational trials for small cell lung cancer.
The aggregate upfront consideration for the acquisition of Stemcentrx consisted of approximately 62.4 million shares of AbbVie common stock, issued from common stock held in treasury, valued at $3.9 billion and $1.9 billion in cash. In addition, AbbVie paid $65 million to holders of unvested Stemcentrx options where the vesting of those awards was accelerated as a result of the acquisition and such acceleration was attributable to the post-combination service period. This payment was recorded as post-acquisition stock-based compensation expense. AbbVie may make up to $4.0 billion in additional payments upon the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones. The acquisition-date fair value of the contingent consideration totaled $370 million and was classified as other long-term liabilities and was estimated using a combination of probability-weighted discounted cash flow models and Monte Carlo simulation models. The estimate is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, referred to as Level 3 inputs, as described in more detail in Note 8. The total consideration for the acquisition of Stemcentrx was $6.2 billion and is summarized as follows:

The acquisition of Stemcentrx has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. This method required, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. A preliminary purchase price allocation has been made and the recorded amounts are subject to change. Finalization of valuation efforts could result in a change in the amounts recorded for the acquisition-date fair value of contingent consideration, intangible assets, goodwill, and associated deferred tax liabilities. The amounts recognized will be finalized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
The following table summarizes preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the June 1, 2016 acquisition date:

Intangible assets relate to acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) for Rova-T, four additional early-stage clinical compounds in solid tumor indications, and several additional pre-clinical compounds. The estimated fair value of the acquired IPR&D was determined using the multi-period excess earnings model of the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the estimated annual cash flows for each asset or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs and working capital/contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each assets life cycle, the regulatory approval probabilities, commercial success risks, competitive landscape, as well as other factors.
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from the other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized.
Specifically, the goodwill recognized from the acquisition of Stemcentrx includes expected synergies, including the ability to leverage the respective strengths of each business, expanding the combined companys product portfolio, acceleration of clinical and commercial presence in oncology, establishment of a strong leadership position in oncology and impacted by establishing a deferred tax liability for the acquired identifiable intangible assets which have no tax basis. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
From the acquisition date through June 30, 2016, AbbVies condensed consolidated statements of earnings included immaterial net revenues and an operating loss of $90 million associated with the acquisition. The operating loss included $65 million of post-acquisition stock-based compensation expense related to the acceleration of vesting of Stemcentrx options.

The unaudited pro forma financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and was based on the historical financial information of AbbVie and Stemcentrx. In order to reflect the occurrence of the acquisition on January 1, 2015 as required, the unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments to reflect the additional interest expense associated with the issuance of debt to finance the acquisition and the reclassification of acquisition, integration, and financing-related costs incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the consolidated results of operations would have been had the acquisition been completed on January 1, 2015. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not a projection of the future results of operations of the combined company nor does it reflect the expected realization of any cost savings or synergies associated with the acquisition.
Acquisition of BI 655066 and BI 655064 from Boehringer Ingelheim
On April 1, 2016, AbbVie acquired all rights to risankizumab (BI 655066), an anti-IL-23 monoclonal biologic antibody in Phase 3 development for psoriasis, from Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) pursuant to a global collaboration agreement. AbbVie is also evaluating the potential of this biologic therapy in Crohns disease, psoriatic arthritis, and asthma. In addition to risankizumab, AbbVie also gained rights to an anti-CD40 antibody, BI 655064, currently in Phase 1 development. BI will retain responsibility for further development of BI 655064, and AbbVie may elect to advance the program after completion of certain clinical achievements. The acquired assets include all patents, data, know-how, third-party agreements, regulatory filings, and manufacturing technology related to BI 655066 and BI 655064.
Under the terms of the agreement, AbbVie made an upfront payment of $595 million. AbbVie estimates it will make an additional $20 million payment to BI pursuant to a contractual obligation to reimburse BI for certain development costs it incurred prior to the acquisition date. In addition, AbbVie may make additional contingent payments upon the achievement of defined development, regulatory, and commercial milestones as well as royalty payments based on net sales of licensed products. The maximum aggregate amount payable for development and regulatory milestones is approximately $1.6 billion. The acquisition-date fair value of these milestones was $625 million. In addition, the acquisition-date fair value of contingent royalty payments was $3,135 million.
The company concluded that the acquired assets met the definition of a business and accounted for the transaction as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because this acquisition is not material to AbbVies consolidated results of operations.
A preliminary purchase price allocation has been made and the recorded amounts are subject to change. Finalization of valuation efforts could result in a change in the amounts recorded for the acquisition-date fair value of contingent consideration, intangible
assets, goodwill, and associated deferred tax assets and liabilities. The amounts recognized will be finalized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The potential contingent consideration payments were classified as other long-term liabilities, and were estimated by applying a probability-weighted expected payment model for contingent milestone payments and a Monte Carlo simulation model for contingent royalty payments, which were then discounted to present value. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, referred to as Level 3 inputs, as described in more detail in Note 8.

The estimated fair value of the acquired IPR&D was determined using the multi-period excess earnings model of the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the estimated annual cash flows for each asset or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs and contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each assets life cycle, the regulatory approval probabilities, commercial success risks, competitive landscape, as well as other factors.
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents future economic benefits arising from the other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Specifically, the goodwill recognized from this acquisition includes expected synergies, including an expansion of the combined companys immunology product portfolio.
Acquisition of Pharmacyclics
On May 26, 2015, AbbVie acquired Pharmacyclics, a biopharmaceutical company that develops and commercializes novel therapies for people impacted by cancer. Pharmacyclics markets IMBRUVICA® (ibrutinib), a Brutons tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, targeting B-cell malignancies. The total consideration for the acquisition of Pharmacyclics was approximately $20.8 billion, consisting of cash and approximately 128 million shares of AbbVie common stock, and is summarized as follows:

Other Licensing & Acquisitions Activity
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the company recorded IPR&D charges of $70 million and $80 million, respectively. Excluding the acquisition of Stemcentrx and the acquisition of BI, cash outflows related to acquisitions and investments activity totaled $132 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and primarily represented upfront payments made in connection with new licensing and collaboration agreements.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the company recorded IPR&D charges of $23 million and $150 million, respectively. Excluding the acquisition of Pharmacyclics, cash outflows related to acquisitions and investments totaled $794 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and included a $500 million payment to Calico Life Sciences LLC (Calico) as a result of the satisfaction of certain conditions under the R&D collaboration with Calico for which a charge to other operating expense was recorded in 2014.
C2N Diagnostics
In March 2015, AbbVie entered into an exclusive worldwide license agreement with C2N Diagnostics to develop and commercialize anti-tau antibodies for the treatment of Alzheimers disease and other neurological disorders. As part of the agreement, AbbVie made an initial upfront payment of $100 million, which was expensed to IPR&D in the six months ended June 30, 2015. In June 2016, a $35 million development milestone was achieved, which was recorded in R&D expense and subsequently paid in July 2016.
Upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory, and commercial milestones, AbbVie could make additional payments of up to $650 million, as well as royalties on net sales.
Note 5 Collaboration with Janssen Biotech, Inc.
In December 2011, Pharmacyclics entered into a worldwide collaboration and license agreement with Janssen Biotech, Inc., one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical companies of Johnson & Johnson (Janssen), for the joint development and commercialization of IMBRUVICA, a novel, orally active, selective covalent inhibitor of BTK, and certain compounds structurally related to IMBRUVICA, for oncology and other indications, excluding all immune and inflammatory mediated diseases or conditions and all psychiatric or psychological diseases or conditions, in the United States and outside the United States.
The collaboration provides Janssen with an exclusive license to commercialize IMBRUVICA outside of the United States and co-exclusively with AbbVie in the United States. Both parties are responsible for the development, manufacturing and marketing of any products generated as a result of the collaboration. The collaboration has no set duration or specific expiration date and provides for potential future development, regulatory and approval milestone payments of up to $200 million to AbbVie.
The collaboration includes a cost sharing arrangement for associated collaboration activities. Except in certain cases, in general, Janssen is responsible for approximately 60% of collaboration development costs and AbbVie is responsible for the remaining 40% of collaboration development costs. AbbVie and Janssen share pre-tax profits and losses equally from the commercialization of products. Janssen is responsible for and has exclusive rights to commercialize IMBRUVICA outside the United States. While both parties have co-exclusive rights to commercialize the products in the United States, AbbVie is the principal in the end customer product sales. Operating expenses for costs incurred under the collaboration were reported in their respective expense line items, net of any payments due or reimbursements due from Janssen. Revenues and profit share costs related to sales of IMBRUVICA in the United States were included in net revenues and cost of products sold, respectively. Amounts payable to AbbVie by Janssen for IMBRUVICA sales outside the United States were included in net revenues.
Janssens share of the pre-tax profits in the United States under the collaboration were $175 million and $329 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $45 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. AbbVies share of pre-tax profits outside the United States under the collaboration were $55 million and $111 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $10 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. AbbVies share of the cost sharing expenses under the collaboration were $64 million and $125 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and were $22 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, AbbVie reclassified an aggregate $7.5 billion of indefinite-lived research and development intangible assets to developed product rights intangible assets upon receiving certain regulatory approvals related to IMBRUVICA and Zinbryta from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. These intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives using the estimated pattern of economic benefit. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, AbbVie adjusted fully amortized amounts totaling $396 million from gross balances and accumulated amortization for developed product rights and license agreements no longer generating cash flow.
Amortization expense was $181 million and $86 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $346 million and $154 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and was included in cost of products sold in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The anticipated annual amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets recorded as of June 30, 2016 was $708 million in 2016, $1.1 billion in 2017, $1.3 billion in 2018, $1.6 billion in 2019, and $1.8 billion in 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, an impairment charge of $39 million was recorded related to certain on-market product rights in the United States due to a decline in the market for the product. The fair value was based on a discounted cash flow analysis and the charge was included in cost of products sold in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets represent acquired IPR&D associated with products that have not yet received regulatory approval. Indefinite-lived intangible assets as of June 30, 2016 primarily relate to the acquisition of Stemcentrx and Boehringer Ingelheim. Refer to Note 4 for additional information. The latest impairment assessment of intangible assets not subject to amortization was completed in the third quarter of 2015. No impairment charges were recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Future impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangible assets will be performed annually in the third quarter, or earlier if indicators of impairment exist.

Note 8 Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures
Risk Management Policy
The company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risks related to its business operations. The companys hedging policy attempts to manage these risks to an acceptable level based on the companys judgment of the appropriate trade-off between risk, opportunity and costs. The company uses derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. The company is also exposed to the risk that its earnings and cash flows could be adversely impacted by fluctuations in interest rates. The company periodically enters into interest rate swaps, based on judgment, to manage interest costs in which the company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional amount. Derivative instruments are not used for trading purposes or to manage exposure to changes in interest rates for investment securities, and none of the companys outstanding derivative instruments contain credit risk related contingent features; collateral is generally not required.
Financial Instruments
Various AbbVie foreign subsidiaries enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage exposures to changes in foreign exchange rates for anticipated intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the local entity. These contracts, with notional amounts totaling $2.7 billion and $1.5 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, were designated as cash flow hedges and were recorded at fair value. The duration of these forward exchange contracts were generally less than eighteen months. Accumulated gains and losses as of June 30, 2016 will be included in cost of products sold at the time the products are sold, generally not exceeding six months from the date of settlement.
The company also enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency denominated trade payables and receivables and intercompany loans. These contracts were not designated as hedges and were recorded at fair value. Resulting gains or losses were reflected in net foreign exchange loss in the consolidated statements of earnings and were generally offset by losses or gains on the foreign currency exposure being managed. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, AbbVie held notional amounts of $6.3 billion and $6.8 billion, respectively, of such foreign currency forward exchange contracts.
AbbVie is a party to interest rate hedge contracts, designated as fair value hedges, totaling $15.8 billion at June 30, 2016 and $11.0 billion at December 31, 2015. The effect of the hedge is to change a fixed-rate interest obligation to a floating rate for that portion of the debt. AbbVie recorded the contracts at fair value and adjusted the carrying amount of the fixed-rate debt by an offsetting amount. In the three months ended June 30, 2016, AbbVie entered into treasury rate lock agreements in order to mitigate the risks associated with changes in interest rates related to an issuance of long-term debt. The treasury rate locks were not designated as hedges and were terminated upon the issuance of debt. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, AbbVie recorded a charge of $12 million related to the treasury rate locks which was classified in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

While certain derivatives are subject to netting arrangements with the companys counterparties, the company does not offset derivative assets and liabilities within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The unrealized gains/(losses) for the effective portions of the derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, were $56 million and ($11) million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $17 million and $76 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness was not significant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015.

Fair Value Measures
The fair value hierarchy under the accounting standard for fair value measurements consists of the following three levels:
· Level 1 Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the company has the ability to access;
· Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in the market; and
· Level 3 Valuations using significant inputs that are unobservable in the market and include the use of judgment by the companys management about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair values for time deposits included in cash and equivalents and short-term investments were determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis reflecting quoted market rates for the same or similar instruments. The fair values of time deposits approximate their amortized cost due to the short maturities of these instruments. The fair values of available-for-sale debt securities were based on prices obtained from commercial pricing services. Available-for-sale equity securities consists of investments for which the fair values were determined by using the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held, without consideration of transaction costs. The derivatives entered into by the company were valued using publicized spot curves for interest rate hedges and publicized forward curves for foreign currency contracts. The fair value measurements of the contingent consideration were determined based on significant unobservable inputs, including the estimated probabilities and timing of achieving specified development, regulatory, and commercial milestones and the estimated amount of future sales of the product candidates acquired. Significant changes which increase or decrease the probabilities of achieving the milestones, shorten or lengthen the time required to achieve the milestones, or increase or decrease estimated future sales would result in corresponding changes in the fair values of the contingent consideration.
There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between the fair value measurement levels. The following table is a reconciliation of the fair value measurements that use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), which consist of contingent payments related to the acquisitions of Stemcentrx and BI.

Investments primarily consist of cost method investments. To determine the fair values of other cost method investments, the company takes into consideration recent transactions, as well as the financial information of the investee, which represents a Level 3 basis of fair value measurement. The fair values of short-term and current borrowings approximate the carrying values due to the short maturities of these instruments.
The fair values of long-term debt, excluding fair value hedges and the term loans, were determined by using the published market price for the debt instruments, without consideration of transaction costs, which represents a Level 1 basis of fair value measurement. The fair values of the term loans were determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using quoted market rates, which represents a Level 2 basis of fair value measurement. The counterparties to financial instruments consist of select major international financial institutions.
Available-for-sale Securities
Substantially all of the companys investments in debt and equity securities were classified as available-for-sale. As of June 30, 2016, approximately $175 million of the companys debt securities were classified as short-term. The companys long-term debt securities mature primarily within five years. There were no material debt securities outstanding as of December 31, 2015. Estimated fair values of available-for-sale securities were generally based on prices obtained from commercial pricing services.

AbbVie periodically assesses its investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment losses. This evaluation is based on a number of factors, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below the cost basis and adverse conditions related specifically to the security including any changes to the credit rating of the security, and the intent to sell, or whether AbbVie will more likely than not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. AbbVies assessment of whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired could change in the future due to new developments or changes in assumptions related to any particular security. Based on a review of these securities, AbbVie had no other-than-temporary impairments on these securities as of June 30, 2016.
Realized gains and losses on sales of investments were computed using the first-in, first-out method adjusted for any other-than-temporary declines in fair value that were recorded in net earnings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, realized gains and losses were immaterial.
Concentrations of Risk
The functional currency of the companys Venezuela operations is the U.S. dollar due to the hyperinflationary status of the Venezuelan economy. At December 31, 2015, there were three legal exchange mechanisms administered by the Venezuelan government. These were the official rate of 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars (VEF) per U.S. dollar, the Supplementary System for the Administration of Foreign Currency (SICAD) rate of approximately 13.5, and the Foreign Exchange Marginal System (SIMADI) rate of approximately 200. Effective March 10, 2016, the Venezuelan government devalued the official rate of 6.3 to 10 VEF per U.S. dollar, eliminated the SICAD rate, and replaced SIMADI with a new exchange mechanism, Divisa Complementaria (DICOM). As of June 30, 2016, the DICOM rate was approximately 628 VEF per U.S. dollar.
During the first quarter of 2016, in consideration of declining economic conditions in Venezuela and a decline in transactions settled at the official rate, AbbVie determined that its net monetary assets denominated in the Venezuelan bolivar were no longer expected to be settled at the official rate of 10 VEF per U.S. dollar, but rather at the DICOM rate. Therefore, during the first quarter of 2016, AbbVie recorded a charge of $298 million to net foreign exchange loss to revalue its bolivar-denominated net monetary assets using the DICOM rate of approximately 270 VEF per U.S. dollar.
As of June 30, 2016, AbbVies net monetary assets in Venezuela were approximately $3 million. The company cannot predict whether there will be further devaluations of the Venezuelan currency or whether use of the DICOM rate will continue to be supported by evolving facts and circumstances.
AbbVie continues to do business with foreign governments in certain countries, including Greece, Portugal, Italy and Spain, that have experienced a deterioration in credit and economic conditions. Substantially all of AbbVies trade receivables in Greece, Portugal, Italy and Spain are with government health systems. Outstanding net governmental receivables in these countries totaled $488 million at June 30, 2016 and $525 million at December 31, 2015. The company also continues to do business with foreign governments in certain oil-exporting countries, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, which have experienced a deterioration in economic conditions. Due to the decline in the price of oil, liquidity issues in certain countries may result in delays in the collection of receivables. Global economic conditions and customer-specific factors may require the company to re-evaluate the collectability of its receivables and the company could potentially incur credit losses.
Three U.S. wholesalers accounted for 45% and 51% of total net accounts receivable as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and substantially all of AbbVies net revenues in the United States are to these three wholesalers.
HUMIRA® (adalimumab) is AbbVies single largest product and accounted for approximately 62% and 63% of AbbVies total net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Debt and Credit Facilities
In May 2016, the company issued $7.8 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes, consisting of $1.8 billion aggregate principal amount of its 2.30% senior notes due 2021, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 2.85% senior notes due 2023, $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 3.20% senior notes due 2026, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 4.30% senior notes due 2036, and $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 4.45% senior notes due 2046. These senior notes rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the company. AbbVie may redeem the senior notes prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the senior notes redeemed plus a make-whole premium. Debt issuance costs and debt discounts incurred in connection with the offering totaled $52 million and $29 million, respectively, and are being amortized over the respective terms of the notes to interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.
Of the $7.7 billion net proceeds, $2.0 billion was used to repay the companys outstanding term loan maturing in November 2016, approximately $1.9 billion was used to finance the acquisition of Stemcentrx and approximately $3.8 billion was used to finance an ASR with a third party financial institution. Refer to Notes 4 and 10 for additional information related to the acquisition of Stemcentrx and the ASR, respectively.
In May 2015, the company issued $16.7 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the offering totaled $93 million and are being amortized over the respective terms of the notes to interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Of the $16.6 billion net proceeds, approximately $11.5 billion was used to finance the acquisition of Pharmacyclics and approximately $5.0 billion was used to finance an ASR with a third party financial institution.
In March 2015, AbbVie entered into a bridge loan in support of the then planned acquisition of Pharmacyclics. No amounts were drawn under the bridge loan, which was terminated as a result of the companys May 2015 issuance of the senior notes. Interest expense, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 included $27 million and $86 million, respectively, of costs related to the bridge loan.
Short-term borrowings include commercial paper borrowings of $494 million and $400 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding commercial paper borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 0.6% and 0.3%, respectively.

Effective December 31, 2015, AbbVie elected to change the method it uses to estimate the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs for the AbbVie Pension Plan and its primary other post-employment benefit plan in the United States as well as certain international defined benefit plans and other post-employment benefit plans. Historically, AbbVie estimated these service and interest cost components of this expense utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the benefit obligation at the beginning of the period. In late 2015, AbbVie elected to utilize a full yield curve approach in the estimation of these components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. AbbVie elected to make this change to provide a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected benefit cash flows to the corresponding spot yield curve rates. AbbVie has accounted for this change prospectively as a change in accounting estimate that is inseparable from a change in accounting principle. Based on current economic conditions, this change is expected to reduce AbbVies net periodic benefit cost by approximately $41 million in 2016. This change had no effect on the 2015 expense and will not affect the measurement of AbbVies total benefit obligations as the change in service cost and interest cost will be completely offset in the actuarial (gain) loss reported.
In the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, AbbVie made voluntary contributions of $202 million and $150 million, respectively, primarily to its domestic defined benefit pension plans.
Note 10 Equity
Stock-Based Compensation
AbbVie grants stock-based awards to qualifying participants pursuant to the AbbVie 2013 Incentive Stock Program (2013 ISP), adopted at the time of the separation from Abbott, which authorized the post-separation grant of several different forms of benefits, including nonqualified stock options, RSAs, RSUs, and various performance-based awards. Under the 2013 ISP, 100 million shares of AbbVie common stock were reserved for issuance with respect to post-separation awards for participants. The 2013 ISP also facilitated the assumption of certain awards granted to AbbVie employees under Abbotts incentive stock program which were adjusted and converted into new Abbott and AbbVie stock-based awards immediately prior to the separation.
Stock-based compensation expense principally related to awards issued pursuant to the 2013 ISP and is summarized as follows:

Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 includes $65 million of expense related to cash paid to holders of unvested Stemcentrx options where the vesting of those awards was accelerated as a result of the acquisition of Stemcentrx and such acceleration was attributable to the post-combination service period. In addition, stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 also reflects expense related to post-acquisition awards granted to Pharmacyclics employees.
Stock Options
Stock options awarded pursuant to the 2013 ISP typically have a contractual term of 10 years and generally vest in one-third increments over a three-year period. The exercise price is at least equal to 100% of the market value on the date of grant. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes model. The weighted-average grant-date fair values of the stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $9.28 and $9.96, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense attributable to options during each of the periods presented was not material.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the exercise price and the companys closing stock price on the last day of trading for the relevant period. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $94 million and $59 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $196 million and $143 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. On June 1, 2016, AbbVie issued stock options covering 1.1 million AbbVie shares to holders of unvested Stemcentrx options as a result of the conversion of such options in connection with the acquisition of Stemcentrx. These options were fair-valued using a lattice valuation model. Refer to Note 4 for additional information related to the Stemcentrx acquisition.
As of June 30, 2016, $51 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized as expense over approximately the next two years.
RSAs & RSUs
RSUs awarded pursuant to the 2013 ISP generally vest in one-third increments over a three-year period. AbbVie also grants certain performance-based equity awards to its senior executives and other key employees. Outstanding performance-based RSAs and RSUs awarded prior to 2016 have a five-year term and generally vest in one-third increments over a three-year period with vesting
contingent upon AbbVie achieving a minimum return on equity (ROE) each year. Recipients are entitled to receive dividends or dividend equivalents as dividends are declared during the vesting term of the award.
Performance-based awards granted in 2016 to senior executives and other key employees consist of a combination of performance-vested RSUs and performance shares. The performance-vested RSUs have the potential to vest in one-third increments during a three-year performance period based on AbbVies ROE relative to a defined peer group of pharmaceutical, biotech and life sciences companies. Dividend equivalents on performance-vested RSUs accrue during the performance period and are payable at vesting only to the extent that shares are earned. The recipient may receive one share of AbbVie common stock for each vested award. The performance shares have the potential to vest over a three-year performance period and may be earned based on AbbVies EPS achievement and AbbVies total stockholder return (TSR) (a market condition) relative to a defined peer group of pharmaceutical, biotech and life sciences companies. Dividend equivalents on performance shares accrue during the performance period and are payable at vesting only to the extent that shares are earned.
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of RSAs and RSUs (including performance-based awards) generally is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of AbbVies common stock on the date of grant. The weighted-average grant-date fair values of performance shares with a TSR market condition are determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which assists in estimating the probability of achieving the TSR market condition stipulated in the award grant.

Stock Repurchase Program
On October 20, 2014, AbbVies board of directors authorized a new $5.0 billion stock repurchase program, which was effective immediately and superseded the previous authorization. The stock repurchase authorization permits purchases of AbbVie shares from time to time in open market or private transactions at managements direction depending on the companys cash flows, net debt level, and market conditions. The program has no time limit and can be discontinued at any time.
In March 2015, the board of directors authorized an increase of $5.0 billion to the existing stock repurchase program in anticipation of executing an ASR in connection with the acquisition of Pharmacyclics. On May 26, 2015, AbbVie entered into and executed a $5.0 billion ASR with a third party financial institution pursuant to which AbbVie received an initial delivery of approximately 68 million shares of AbbVies common stock in the three months ended June 30, 2015 and a final delivery of 5 million shares in the three months ended September 30, 2015.
In April 2016, the board of directors authorized an increase of $4.0 billion to the existing stock repurchase program in anticipation of executing an ASR in connection with the acquisition of Stemcentrx. On June 1, 2016, AbbVie entered into and executed a $3.8 billion ASR with a third party financial institution pursuant to which AbbVie received an initial delivery of approximately 54 million shares of AbbVies common stock on June 2, 2016 representing approximately 90% of the total shares expected to be delivered under the 2016 ASR. The final settlement of the 2016 ASR is expected to occur before the end of the fourth quarter of 2016 and may be accelerated at the option of the counterparty. At settlement, the counterparty may be required to deliver additional shares of AbbVies common stock to AbbVie, or AbbVie may be required to deliver shares of its common stock or may elect to make a cash payment to the counterparty. The total number of shares to be repurchased under the ASR will be based on the daily volume-weighted average price of AbbVies common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount, and subject to adjustment.
AbbVie recorded the aggregate $3.8 billion purchase price of the 2016 ASR as a reduction to stockholders equity, consisting of a $3.4 billion increase in common stock held in treasury and a $380 million reduction in additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016. AbbVie recorded the aggregate $5.0 billion purchase price of the 2015 ASR as a reduction to common stock held in treasury in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015.
In addition to the ASRs, AbbVie repurchased approximately 4 million shares for $250 million in the open market during the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, AbbVie settled $300 million of its open market purchases made during the three months ended December 31, 2015. Shares repurchased under these programs are recorded at acquisition cost, including related expenses, and are available for general corporate purposes. AbbVies remaining stock repurchase authorization was $2.1 billion as of June 30, 2016.

Other comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included foreign currency translation adjustments totaling a loss of $416 million, which was principally driven by the impact of the weakening of the Euro in the six months ended June 30, 2015 on the translation of the companys Euro-denominated assets.

Note 11 Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 23% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and 19% and 22% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The effective tax rate in each period differs from the statutory tax rate principally due to the benefit from foreign operations which reflects the impact of lower income tax rates in locations outside the United States, tax exemptions and incentives in Puerto Rico and other foreign tax jurisdictions, and business development activities together with the cost of repatriation decisions. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 over the prior year was principally due to changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings, as well as certain discrete factors and events, including acquisitions, collaborations and the unfavorable impact of the non-deductible devaluation loss related to Venezuela.
Due to the potential for resolution of federal, state, and foreign examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitations, it is reasonably possible that the companys gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months up to $12 million. AbbVie and Abbott entered into a tax sharing agreement effective on the date of separation, which provides that Abbott is liable for and has indemnified AbbVie against all income tax liabilities for periods prior to the separation. Accordingly, Abbott will indemnify and hold AbbVie harmless if the tax positions are settled for amounts in excess of recorded liabilities, and AbbVie will not benefit if prior tax positions are resolved more favorably than recorded amounts.
Note 12 Legal Proceedings and Contingencies
AbbVie is subject to contingencies, such as various claims, legal proceedings and investigations regarding product liability, intellectual property, commercial, securities and other matters that arise in the normal course of business. Loss contingency provisions are recorded for probable losses at managements best estimate of a loss, or when a best estimate cannot be made, a minimum loss contingency amount within a probable range is recorded. The recorded accrual balance for litigation at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was approximately $170 million. Initiation of new legal proceedings or a change in the status of existing proceedings may result in a change in the estimated loss accrued by AbbVie. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of all proceedings and exposures with certainty, management believes that their ultimate disposition should not have a material adverse effect on AbbVies consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Subject to certain exceptions specified in the separation agreement by and between Abbott and AbbVie, AbbVie assumed the liability for, and control of, all pending and threatened legal matters related to its business, including liabilities for any claims or legal proceedings related to products that had been part of its business but were discontinued prior to the distribution, as well as assumed or retained liabilities, and will indemnify Abbott for any liability arising out of or resulting from such assumed legal matters.
Several pending lawsuits filed against Unimed Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a company Abbott acquired in February 2010 and now known as AbbVie Products LLC) and others are consolidated for pre-trial purposes in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia under the Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Rules as In re: AndroGel Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 2084. These cases, brought by private plaintiffs and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), generally allege Solvays 2006 patent litigation involving AndroGel was sham litigation and the patent litigation settlement agreement and related agreements with three generic companies violate federal antitrust laws. Plaintiffs generally seek monetary damages and/or injunctive relief and attorneys fees. These cases include: (a) four individual plaintiff lawsuits; (b) three purported class actions; and (c) Federal Trade Commission v. Actavis, Inc. et al. Following the district courts dismissal of all plaintiffs claims, appellate proceedings led to the reinstatement of the claims regarding the patent litigation settlement, which are proceeding in discovery in the district court. The Attorney General of the State of Alaska has served AbbVie with a Civil Investigative Demand, primarily seeking documents that AbbVie produced in these lawsuits.
In November 2007, GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK) filed a lawsuit against Abbott in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that Abbott violated federal antitrust and various state laws in connection with the 2003 Norvir re-pricing. In March 2011, a jury found that Abbott did not violate antitrust laws, but breached its license agreement with GSK. In January 2014, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed this verdict and remanded the case for a new trial due to the alleged improper exclusion of a potential juror. The case was returned to the district court in California, but after GSK dismissed its federal antitrust claims, the case was transferred in April 2015 to the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, where pre-trial proceedings are pending. AbbVie assumed the liability for and control of this proceeding in connection with its separation from Abbott.
Lawsuits are pending against AbbVie and others generally alleging that the 2005 patent litigation settlement involving Niaspan entered into between Kos Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a company acquired by Abbott in 2006 and presently a subsidiary of AbbVie) and a generic company violates federal and state antitrust laws and state unfair and deceptive trade practices and unjust enrichment laws. Plaintiffs generally seek monetary damages and/or injunctive relief and attorneys fees. The lawsuits consist of four individual plaintiff lawsuits and two consolidated purported class actions: one brought by three named direct purchasers of Niaspan and the other brought by ten named end-payor purchasers of Niaspan. The cases are consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania under the MDL Rules as In re: Niaspan Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 2460. The office of the Attorney General of the State of Alaska has served AbbVie with a Civil Investigative Demand, primarily seeking documents that AbbVie produced in this lawsuit.
In September 2014, the FTC filed suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against AbbVie and others, alleging that the 2011 patent litigation with two generic companies regarding AndroGel was sham litigation and the patent litigation settlement with one of those generic companies violates federal antitrust laws. The FTCs complaint seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief. In May 2015, the court dismissed the FTCs claim regarding the patent litigation settlement. The office of the Attorney General of the State of Alaska has served AbbVie with a Civil Investigative Demand, primarily seeking documents that AbbVie produced in this lawsuit.
In March 2015, the State of Louisiana filed a lawsuit, State of Louisiana v. Fournier Industrie et Sante, et al., against AbbVie, Abbott and affiliated Abbott entities in Louisiana state court. Plaintiff alleges that patent applications and patent litigation filed and other alleged conduct from the early 2000s and before related to the drug TriCor violated Louisiana state antitrust and unfair trade practices laws. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and attorneys fees. In August 2015, the court dismissed the case as time-barred. The states appeal of that dismissal is pending.
In August 2013, a putative class action lawsuit, Sidney Hillman Health Center of Rochester, et al. v. AbbVie Inc., et al., was filed against AbbVie in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by three healthcare benefit providers alleging violations of Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statutes and state deceptive business practice and unjust enrichment laws in connection with reimbursements for certain uses of Depakote from 1998 to 2012. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages and/or equitable relief and attorneys fees.
In November 2014, a putative class action lawsuit, Medical Mutual of Ohio v. AbbVie Inc., et al., was filed against several manufacturers of testosterone replacement therapies (TRTs), including AbbVie, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on behalf of all insurance companies, health benefit providers, and other third party payors who paid for TRTs, including AndroGel. The claims asserted include violations of the federal RICO Act and state consumer fraud and deceptive trade practices laws. The complaint seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief. A similar lawsuit, Allied Services Division Welfare Fund v. AbbVie Inc., et al., was filed in the same court in October 2015 on behalf of the same putative class members and a putative class of consumers.
Product liability cases are pending in which plaintiffs generally allege that AbbVie and other manufacturers of TRTs did not adequately warn about risks of certain injuries, primarily heart attacks, strokes and blood clots. Approximately 3,600 claims are consolidated for pre-trial purposes in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under the MDL Rules as In re: Testosterone Replacement Therapy Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2545. Approximately 195 claims are pending in various state courts. Plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages.
Product liability cases are pending in which plaintiffs generally allege that AbbVie did not adequately warn about risk of certain injuries, primarily various birth defects, arising from use of Depakote. Over ninety percent of the approximately 735 claims are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, and the rest are pending in various other federal and state courts. Plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages.
In November 2014, five individuals filed a putative class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers and sellers of certain Shire plc (Shire) securities between June 20 and October 14, 2014, against AbbVie and its chief executive officer in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging that the defendants made and/or are responsible for material misstatements in violation of federal securities laws in connection with AbbVies proposed transaction with Shire. In March 2016, the court dismissed the case without prejudice. In May 2016, four individuals filed an amended complaint in the case.
Beginning in May 2016, the Patent Trial & Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (PTO) instituted five inter partes review proceedings brought by Coherus Biosciences and Boehringer Ingelheim related to three AbbVie patents covering methods of treatment of rheumatoid arthritis using adalimumab. In these proceedings, the PTO will review the validity of the patents.
In June 2016 a lawsuit, Elliott Associates, L.P., et al. v. AbbVie Inc., was filed by five investment funds against AbbVie in the Cook County, Illinois Circuit Court alleging that AbbVie made misrepresentations and omissions in connection with its proposed transaction with Shire. Plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion and analysis of the financial condition of AbbVie Inc. (AbbVie or the company) as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. This commentary should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes appearing in Item 1, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Company Overview
AbbVie is a global, research-based biopharmaceutical company formed in 2013 following separation from Abbott Laboratories (Abbott). AbbVies mission is to use its expertise, dedicated people and unique approach to innovation to develop and market advanced therapies that address some of the worlds most complex and serious diseases. AbbVies products are focused on treating conditions such as chronic autoimmune diseases in rheumatology, gastroenterology and dermatology; oncology, including blood cancers; virology, including hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); neurological disorders, such as Parkinsons disease and multiple sclerosis; metabolic diseases, including thyroid disease and complications associated with cystic fibrosis; as well as other serious health conditions. AbbVie also has a pipeline of promising new medicines across such important medical specialties as immunology, virology, oncology and neurology, with additional targeted investment in cystic fibrosis and womens health.
AbbVies products are generally sold worldwide directly to wholesalers, distributors, government agencies, health care facilities, specialty pharmacies, and independent retailers from AbbVie-owned distribution centers and public warehouses. In the United States, AbbVie distributes pharmaceutical products principally through independent wholesale distributors, with some sales directly to pharmacies and patients. Outside the United States, sales are made either directly to customers or through distributors, depending on the market served. Certain products are co-marketed or co-promoted with other companies. AbbVie has approximately 28,000 employees. AbbVie operates in one business segmentpharmaceutical products.
2016 Strategic Objectives
AbbVies mission is to be an innovation-driven, patient-focused specialty biopharmaceutical company capable of achieving top-tier financial performance through outstanding execution and a consistent stream of innovative new medicines. AbbVie intends to continue to advance its mission in a number of ways, including (i) growing revenues through continued strong performance from its existing portfolio of on-market products, including its flagship brands, HUMIRA, IMBRUVICA and VIEKIRA, as well as growth from pipeline products; (ii) expanding gross and operating margins; (iii) continued investment in its pipeline in support of opportunities in immunology, oncology, and virology, as well as continued investment in key on-market products; (iv) augmentation of its pipeline through concerted focus on strategic licensing, acquisition and partnering activity with a focus on identifying compelling programs that fit AbbVies strategic criteria; and (v) returning cash to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases. In addition, AbbVie anticipates several regulatory submissions and key data readouts from key clinical trials in 2016.
Financial Results
The companys financial performance for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included delivering worldwide net revenues of $12.4 billion, improved operating margin, and fully diluted earnings per share of $1.81. Worldwide net revenues grew by 20% on a constant currency basis, driven primarily by the continued strength of HUMIRA, post-acquisition revenues related to IMBRUVICA, market growth and geographic expansion of VIEKIRA and revenue growth from other key products including Creon and Duodopa.
Fully diluted earnings per share was $1.81 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and included a $298 million foreign exchange loss related to the devaluation of AbbVies net monetary assets denominated in the Venezuelan bolivar, after-tax costs totaling $252 million related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets and the fair market value step-up for acquired inventory incurred in connection with the acquisition of Pharmacyclics, Inc. (Pharmacyclics) on May 26, 2015, after-tax costs totaling $88 million incurred in connection with the acquisition of Stemcentrx, Inc. (Stemcentrx) on June 1, 2016, an after-tax charge of $40 million related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration in connection with the acquisition of Boehringer Ingelheim (BI), after-tax charges for in-process research and development (IPR&D) aggregating to $80 million, after-tax charges for milestone payments to third parties totaling $70 million, and an after-tax charge of $25 million related to the impairment of an intangible asset. AbbVies financial performance also reflected an improvement in operating margin to 38% of net revenues, primarily due to a reduction in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses and continued leverage from revenue growth, partially offset by a decline in gross
margin to 78% of net revenues primarily due to increased amortization expense, the impact of foreign exchange rates and the unfavorable impact related to the Pharmacyclics acquisition, including the profit sharing arrangement and the amortization of the fair market value step-up of acquisition-date inventory. Financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 also reflected added funding to support AbbVies emerging mid- and late-stage pipeline assets and continued investment in AbbVies growth brands.
The company generated cash flows from operations of $4.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which AbbVie utilized to continue to enhance its pipeline through licensing and collaboration activities, pay cash dividends to stockholders of $1.9 billion and settle $300 million of open market share repurchases made at the end of 2015. In June 2016, AbbVies board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.57 per share of common stock payable in August 2016.
In April 2016, AbbVie acquired all rights to risankizumab (BI 655066), an anti-IL-23 monoclonal biologic antibody, from BI pursuant to a global collaboration agreement. On June 1, 2016, AbbVie acquired Stemcentrx, a privately held biotechnology company. In connection with the Stemcentrx acquisition, AbbVies board of directors authorized a $4.0 billion increase to AbbVies existing share repurchase program. Promptly following the closing of the Stemcentrx transaction, AbbVie entered into and executed a $3.8 billion accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR) with a third party financial institution to reacquire nearly all of the newly-issued equity. In May 2016, AbbVie issued $7.8 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes. Of the $7.7 billion net proceeds, $2.0 billion was used to repay the companys outstanding term loan maturing in November 2016, approximately $1.9 billion was used to finance the acquisition of Stemcentrx and approximately $3.8 billion was used to finance the ASR. Refer to Notes 4 and 10 for additional information related to both the acquisition of Stemcentrx and BI and the ASR, respectively.
In addition to these financial results, AbbVie continued to advance and augment its pipeline as further described below under the heading Research and Development.
Research and Development
Research and innovation are the cornerstones of AbbVies business as a global biopharmaceutical company. AbbVies long-term success depends to a great extent on its ability to continue to discover and develop innovative pharmaceutical products and acquire or collaborate on compounds currently in development by other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies.
AbbVies pipeline currently includes more than 50 compounds or indications in clinical development individually or under collaboration or license agreements and is focused on such important medical specialties as immunology, oncology, virology, and neurology along with targeted investments in cystic fibrosis and womens health. Of these programs, more than 30 are in mid- and late-stage development.
The following sections summarize transitions of significant programs from Phase 2 development to Phase 3 development as well as developments in significant Phase 3 and registration programs. AbbVie expects multiple Phase 2 programs to transition into Phase 3 programs during 2016.
Significant Clinical Programs Approved or Submitted
AbbVie submitted for review or received approval for the following significant late-stage development programs in 2016:
Immunology
· In May 2016, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) granted approval for HUMIRA for the treatment of pediatric patients aged six years or older, with moderate to severely active Crohns disease.
· In June 2016, HUMIRA received both U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and EMA approval to treat adults with non-infectious intermediate, posterior and panuveitis. HUMIRA is now the first and only FDA-approved non-corticosteroid therapy available for adults with non-infectious intermediate, posterior and panuveitis. This approval marks the 10th approved indication for HUMIRA in the United States for immune-mediated disease and the 14th approved indication in all geographies.
Oncology
· In April 2016, the FDA granted accelerated approval of Venclexta (venetoclax) tablets for patients diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with 17p deletion who have received at least one prior therapy. In January 2016, AbbVie announced that the EMA validated its marketing authorization application for venetoclax for the treatment of patients with CLL with 17p deletion or TP53 mutation. Additionally, in January 2016, the FDA granted two additional breakthrough therapy designations for venetoclax: (i) in combination with rituximab for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory CLL, including patients with chromosome 17p deletion; and (ii) in combination with hypomethylating agents for the treatment of patients with untreated (treatment-naïve) acute myeloid leukemia who are ineligible to receive standard induction therapy (high-dose chemotherapy). In February 2016, AbbVie announced that the EMA granted Orphan Drug Designation to venetoclax for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. The FDA also recently granted venetoclax orphan drug designation for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
· In February 2016, AbbVie announced that the FDA granted IMBRUVICA orphan drug designation for the treatment of patients with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma.
· In March 2016, AbbVie announced that the FDA approved IMBRUVICA as a first-line treatment for patients with CLL. The approval was based on data from the Phase 3 RESONATE-2 trial, which evaluated efficacy and safety of IMBRUVICA versus traditional chemotherapy, chlorambucil, in treatment-naïve patients with CLL or small lymphocytic leukemia. This is the first FDA-approved chemotherapy-free treatment option for first-line CLL patients and the 5th approved treatment indication for IMBRUVICA. In May 2016, AbbVie announced that the EMA approved IMBRUVICA as a first-line treatment option for adult patients with CLL. IMBRUVICA is now available to treat all lines of CLL in the European Union (EU). This is the fifth treatment indication in the EU for IMBRUVICA.
· In May 2016, AbbVie announced that the FDA updated the IMBRUVICA Prescribing Information to include new data from two Phase 3 trials supporting expanded use in patients with CLL and small lymphocytic lymphoma. The label now includes overall survival results in previously-untreated CLL/ small lymphocytic lymphoma patients from the Phase 3 RESONATE-2 trial. The IMBRUVICA label has also been updated with safety and efficacy data from the Phase 3 HELIOS trial assessing the use of IMBRUVICA in combination with bendamustine and rituximab versus placebo plus rituximab in relapsed /refractory patients with CLL/small lymphocytic lymphoma. Additionally, the FDA approved a new IMBRUVICA indication to include the treatment of patients with small lymphocytic lymphoma with or without the deletion of chromosome 17p.
· In May 2016, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMS) and AbbVie announced that the EMA approved Empliciti (elotuzumab) for the treatment of multiple myeloma as combination therapy with Revlimid® (lenalidomide) and dexamethasone in adult patients who have received at least one prior therapy. Empliciti is now the first and only immunostimulatory antibody approved for multiple myeloma in the EU.
· In June 2016, AbbVie announced that the FDA granted IMBRUVICA breakthrough therapy designation for chronic graft-versus-host-disease after failure of one or more lines of systemic therapy, a rare condition with limited treatment options. The FDA additionally granted IMBRUVICA orphan drug designation for this condition. This is the fourth breakthrough therapy designation for IMBRUVICA.
Virology/Liver Disease
· In February 2016, AbbVie announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use granted a positive opinion for the use of VIEKIRA (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir tablets) + EXVIERA (dasabuvir tablets) without ribavirin (RBV) in chronic HCV infected genotype 1b (GT1b) patients with compensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A). In April 2016, AbbVie announced that the FDA approved VIEKIRA PAK (ombitasvir, paritaprevir, ritonavir tablets; dasabuvir tablets) without RBV in patients with GT1b chronic HCV infection and compensated cirrhosis.
Neurology
· In May 2016, Biogen and AbbVie announced that the FDA approved ZINBRYTA (daclizumab) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS). Zinbryta is a once-monthly, self-administered, subcutaneous injection. Biogen and AbbVie will co-promote ZINBRYTA in the United States. The companies plan to launch in the United
States in the third quarter of 2016. In July 2016, Biogen and AbbVie announced that the EMA granted a marketing authorization for ZINBRYTA for the treatment of adult patients with RMS.
Other Significant Developments
· In January 2016, AbbVie announced the initiation of the first of two planned Phase 3 studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of elagolix in the treatment of patients with uterine fibroids. AbbVie made a milestone payment of $15 million to Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc., AbbVies collaboration partner, upon enrollment of the first patient. Elagolix is also in Phase 3 development for endometriosis.
· In April 2016, AbbVie acquired all rights to risankizumab (BI 655066), an anti-IL-23 monoclonal biologic antibody in Phase 3 development for psoriasis, from BI pursuant to a global collaboration agreement. AbbVie is also evaluating the potential of this biologic therapy in Crohns disease, psoriatic arthritis, and asthma. In addition to risankizumab, AbbVie also gained rights to an anti-CD40 antibody, BI 655064, currently in Phase 1 development.
· In June 2016, AbbVie acquired Stemcentrx and its lead late-stage asset rovalpituzumab tesirine (Rova-T) currently in registrational trials for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Rova-T is a novel bio-marker-specific therapy that is derived from cancer stem cells and targets delta-like protein 3 (DLL3) that is expressed in more than 80% of SCLC patient tumors and is not present in healthy tissue. Registrational trials for third-line SCLC are expected to complete enrollment by the end of 2016. Beyond Rova-T, Stemcentrx has four novel compounds in clinical trials across several solid tumor indications and has additional pre-clinical compounds.
· In June 2016, AbbVie exercised its right to end its global collaboration with Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Infinity), which it entered into in September 2014 to develop and commercialize duvelisib (IPI-145) for the treatment of patients with cancer. Pursuant to the terms of the global collaboration agreement, the worldwide rights to duvelisib reverted to Infinity.
· In July 2016, following an evaluation of data for the development of ABT-122, a dual-variable domain (DVD) immunoglobulin targeting TNF and IL-17 in Phase 2 trials for rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, AbbVie determined that further development of ABT-122 will not be pursued. While the trial data demonstrated that the DVD platform worked well, with clear evidence of biologic activity, the decision was based on a lack a differentiation from other candidates in AbbVies development pipeline.
· In July 2016, BMS and AbbVie announced a clinical trial collaboration to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Rova-T in combination with BMS Opdivo (nivolumab) and Opdivo + Yervoy (ipilimumab) regimen as a treatment for relapsed extensive stage SCLC. The Phase 1/2 clinical program will explore the potential of combining BMS immune-oncology agents in conjunction with Rova-T to drive improved and sustained efficacy and tolerability above the current standard of care.

See also Note 4 entitled Licensing, Acquisitions and Other Arrangements of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for further information relating to the acquisition of Stemcentrx and the collaboration with BI.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Revenues
The comparisons presented at constant currency rates reflect comparative local currency net revenues at the prior years foreign exchange rates. This measure provides information on the change in net revenues assuming that foreign currency exchange rates had not changed between the prior and the current period. AbbVie believes that the non-GAAP measure of change in net revenues at constant currency rates, when used in conjunction with the GAAP measure of change in net revenues at actual currency rates, may provide a more complete understanding of the companys operations and can facilitate analysis of the companys results of operations, particularly in evaluating performance from one period to another.

The following discussion and analysis of AbbVies net revenues by product is presented on a constant currency basis.
Global HUMIRA sales increased 18% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily as a result of market growth across therapeutic categories and geographies and favorable pricing in certain geographies. In the United States, HUMIRA sales increased 27% and 29% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, driven by prescription volume, favorable pricing, and market growth across all indications. Internationally, HUMIRA sales increased 4% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, driven primarily by growth across indications in certain geographies. AbbVie continues to pursue strategies to help further differentiate HUMIRA from competing products and add to the sustainability and future growth of HUMIRA.
Net revenues for IMBRUVICA represent product revenues in the United States as well as collaboration revenues related to AbbVies 50% share of IMBRUVICA profit outside of the United States following the completion of the acquisition of Pharmacyclics on May 26, 2015.
Global VIEKIRA sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 increased 8% and 38%, respectively, primarily as a result of market growth in approved markets and geographic expansion. International revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 reflect sales in additional geographies where the product was approved subsequent to June 30, 2015. In the United States, sales decreased 61% and 42% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, primarily due to lower market share and pricing resulting from a new market entrant in the first quarter of 2016.
Synagis is a seasonal product with the majority of sales occurring in the first and fourth quarters. Synagis revenues the for six months ended June 30, 2016 increased 3% due to sales occurring earlier compared to the prior year.
Sales for Creon increased 13% and 15% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, driven primarily by continued market growth and higher market share. Creon maintains market leadership in the pancreatic enzyme market.
Global Kaletra sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 declined 7% and 13%, respectively, primarily due to lower market share resulting from the impact of increasing competition in the HIV marketplace.
Net revenues for Duodopa increased 29% and 33% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, primarily as a result of market growth and geographic expansion. Duopa was approved in the United States in January 2015. AbbVie expects net revenues for Duopa in the United States will continue to gradually increase as the product gains acceptance in the marketplace.

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues decreased for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year periods due to higher intangible asset amortization, the impact of foreign exchange rates, and the unfavorable impact related to the Pharmacyclics acquisition, including the profit sharing arrangement and the amortization of the fair market value step-up of acquisition-date inventory. These reductions were partially offset by the favorable impact of product mix across the product portfolio and operational efficiencies. Gross margin also included a $39 million charge related to the impairment of an intangible asset in the first quarter of 2016.

SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues declined for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year periods due to continued leverage from revenue growth and lower costs in 2016. SG&A expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 included $93 and $194 million, respectively, of costs associated with the separation from Abbott and $220 and $222 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively of Pharmacyclics acquisition and integration costs.

R&D expenses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 reflected added funding to support the companys emerging mid- and late-stage pipeline assets and the impact of the post-acquisition R&D expenses of Pharmacyclics. Additionally, R&D expenses included Stemcentrx acquisition and integration costs of $68 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as well as charges for regulatory milestone payments due to collaboration partners aggregating $55 million and $70 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, R&D expenses included Pharmacyclics acquisition and integration costs of $93 million.
IPR&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 reflect upfront payments related to various collaborations. There were no individually material transactions or cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2016. IPR&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included a charge of $100 million as a result of entering into an exclusive worldwide license agreement with C2N Diagnostics (C2N) to develop and commercialize anti-tau antibodies for the treatment of Alzheimers disease and other neurological disorders.

Interest expense, net was comprised primarily of interest expense on outstanding debt. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to the May 2015 issuance of $16.7 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which were issued primarily to finance the acquisition of Pharmacyclics, as well as the May 2016 issuance of $7.8 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which were issued primarily to finance the acquisition of Stemcentrx and to repay the companys outstanding $2.0 billion term loan maturing in November 2016. These increases were partially offset by the absence of bridge financing-related costs of $27 million and $86 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, incurred in connection with the acquisition of Pharmacyclics.
Net foreign exchange loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included losses totaling $298 million related to the devaluation of AbbVies net monetary assets denominated in the Venezuelan bolivar. Refer to Note 8 entitled Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the Venezuelan devaluation. Net foreign exchange loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included losses totaling $170 million to reflect the completed liquidation of the companys remaining foreign currency positions related to the terminated proposed combination with Shire plc.
Other expense, net for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 included a charge of $40 million related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration in connection with the acquisition of BI, as well as a charge of $12 million related to treasury rate lock agreements entered into in order to mitigate the risks associated with changes in interest rates related to an issuance of
long-term debt. Refer to Note 4 entitled Licensing, Acquisitions and Other Arrangements of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the acquisitions of BI and Stemcentrx.
Income Tax Expense
The effective tax rate was 23% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and 19% and 22% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The effective tax rate in each period differs from the statutory tax rate principally due to the benefit from foreign operations which reflects the impact of lower income tax rates in locations outside the United States, tax exemptions and incentives in Puerto Rico and other foreign tax jurisdictions, and business development activities together with the cost of repatriation decisions. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 over the prior year was principally due to changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings, as well as certain discrete factors and events, including acquisitions, collaborations and the unfavorable impact of the non-deductible devaluation loss related to Venezuela.

Cash flows provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $4.0 billion compared to $3.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to improved results of operations due to revenue growth and an improvement in operating margin. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, cash provided by operating activities also reflected AbbVies voluntary contributions of $202 million and $150 million, respectively, primarily to its domestic defined benefit plans. Realized excess tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation totaled $38 million and $49 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and were presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as an outflow within the operating section and an inflow within the financing section.
Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily included $1.9 billion cash consideration paid to acquire Stemcentrx in June 2016, $595 million upfront payment to acquire certain rights from BI in April 2016, and net purchases of investment securities totaling $2.9 billion. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, investing activities primarily included $11.5 billion cash consideration paid to acquire Pharmacyclics in May 2015 (net of cash acquired of $877 million). Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 also included cash outflows related to other acquisitions and investments of $794 million, including a $500 million payment to Calico Life Sciences LLC and $100 million related to an exclusive worldwide license agreement with C2N to develop and commercialize anti-tau antibodies for the treatment of Alzheimers disease and other neurological disorders. Cash flows from investing activities for both the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 also reflected capital expenditures.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the company issued and redeemed commercial paper. The balance of commercial paper outstanding was $494 million at June 30, 2016 and was $400 million at December 31, 2015. AbbVie may issue additional commercial paper or retire commercial paper to meet liquidity requirements as needed. In May 2016, the company issued $7.8 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes with various maturities between 2021 and 2046. Approximately $2.0 billion of the net proceeds was used to repay an outstanding term loan maturing in November 2016, approximately $1.9 billion of the net proceeds were used to finance the acquisition of Stemcentrx, and approximately $3.8 billion of the net proceeds were used to finance an ASR described below. In connection with the May 2016 issuance of senior notes, AbbVie incurred $52 million of issuance costs. In May 2015, the company issued $16.7 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes with various maturities between 2018 and 2045. Approximately $11.5 billion of the net proceeds were used to finance the acquisition of Pharmacyclics and $5.0 billion of the net proceeds were used to finance an ASR described below. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the company paid $86 million of costs relating to an $18 billion, 364-Day Bridge Term Loan Credit Agreement (the bridge loan) as well as $93 million of costs relating to the May 2015 issuance of $16.7 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes. No amounts were drawn under the bridge loan, which was terminated as a result of the issuance of the senior notes.
Cash dividend payments totaled $1.9 billion and $1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in cash dividend payments was primarily due to an increase in the dividend rate as well as an increase in shares issued and outstanding as a result of the Pharmacyclics acquisition. On June 16, 2016, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.57 per share of common stock for stockholders of record at the close of business on July 15, 2016, payable on August 15, 2016. The timing, declaration, amount of, and payment of any dividends is within the discretion of AbbVies board of directors and will depend upon many factors, including AbbVies financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of its operating subsidiaries, covenants associated with certain of AbbVies debt service obligations, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice, ability to access capital markets, and other factors deemed relevant by its board of directors.
In October 2014, AbbVies board of directors authorized a new $5.0 billion stock repurchase program, which was effective immediately and superseded the previous authorization. In March 2015, the board of directors authorized an increase of $5.0 billion to the existing stock repurchase program in anticipation of executing an ASR in connection with the acquisition of Pharmacyclics. On May 26, 2015, AbbVie entered into and executed a $5.0 billion ASR with a third party financial institution pursuant to which AbbVie received an initial delivery of approximately 68 million shares of AbbVies common stock in the three months ended June 30, 2015 and a final delivery of 5 million shares in the three months ended September 30, 2015. In April 2016, the board of directors authorized an increase of $4.0 billion to the existing stock repurchase program in anticipation of executing an ASR in connection with the acquisition of Stemcentrx. On June 1, 2016, AbbVie entered into and executed a $3.8 billion ASR with a third party financial institution pursuant to which AbbVie received an initial delivery of approximately 54 million shares of AbbVies common stock on June 2, 2016 The final settlement of the 2016 ASR is expected to occur before the end of the fourth quarter of 2016 and may be accelerated at the option of the counterparty. At settlement, the counterparty may be required to deliver additional shares of AbbVies common stock to AbbVie, or AbbVie may be required to deliver shares of its common stock or may elect to make a cash payment to the counterparty. The total number of shares to be repurchased under the ASR will be based on the daily volume-weighted average price of AbbVies common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount, and subject to adjustment. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, AbbVie recorded the aggregate $5.0 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively, paid under these transactions as a reduction to stockholders equity.
In addition to shares acquired under these ASRs, the company repurchased approximately 4 million shares for $250 million in the open market during the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, AbbVie settled $300 million of its open market purchases made during the three months ended December 31, 2015. Purchases of AbbVie shares may be made from time to time at managements discretion, however, AbbVie is precluded from making additional purchases of AbbVies shares without the consent of the counterparty to the June 2016 ASR until such ASR is settled. AbbVies remaining stock repurchase authorization was $2.1 billion as of June 30, 2016, has no time limit and can be discontinued at any time.
Cash and equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were also negatively impacted by net unfavorable exchange rate changes totaling $307 million and $220 million, respectively. The unfavorable exchange rate changes in 2016 were primarily due to the devaluation of AbbVies net monetary assets denominated in the Venezuelan bolivar. The unfavorable exchange rate changes in 2015 were principally due to the weakening of the Euro and other foreign currencies on the translation of the companys Euro-denominated assets and cash denominated in foreign currencies. While a significant portion of cash and equivalents at June 30, 2016 were considered reinvested indefinitely in foreign subsidiaries, AbbVie does not expect such reinvestment to affect its liquidity and capital resources. If these funds were needed for operations in the United States, AbbVie would be required to accrue and pay U.S. income taxes to repatriate these funds. AbbVie believes that it has sufficient sources of liquidity to support its assumption that the amount of undistributed earnings at June 30, 2016 have been reinvested indefinitely.
Credit Risk
AbbVie monitors economic conditions, the creditworthiness of customers, and government regulations and funding, both domestically and abroad. AbbVie regularly communicates with its customers regarding the status of receivable balances, including their payment plans and obtains positive confirmation of the validity of the receivables. AbbVie establishes an allowance against accounts receivable when it is probable they will not be collected. AbbVie also monitors the potential for and periodically has utilized factoring arrangements to mitigate credit risk although the receivables included in such arrangements have historically not been a material amount of total outstanding receivables.
AbbVie continues to do business with foreign governments in certain countries, including Greece, Portugal, Italy and Spain, that have experienced a deterioration in credit and economic conditions. Substantially all of AbbVies trade receivables in Greece, Portugal, Italy and Spain are with government health systems. Outstanding net governmental receivables in these countries totaled $488
million at June 30, 2016 and $525 million at December 31, 2015. The company also continues to do business with foreign governments in certain oil-exporting countries, which have experienced a deterioration in economic conditions, including Saudi Arabia and Russia. Outstanding net governmental receivables related to Saudi Arabia and Russia were $135 million and $113 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2016. Due to the decline in the price of oil, liquidity issues in certain countries may result in delays in the collection of receivables. Global economic conditions and customer-specific factors may require the company to re-evaluate the collectability of its receivables and the company could potentially incur credit losses.
Currently, AbbVie does not believe the economic conditions in oil-exporting countries will have a material impact on the companys liquidity, cash flow or financial flexibility. However, if government funding were to become unavailable in these countries or if significant adverse changes in their reimbursement practices were to occur, AbbVie may not be able to collect the entire balance outstanding as of June 30, 2016.
Credit Facility, Access to Capital and Credit Ratings
Credit Facility
AbbVie currently has a $3.0 billion five-year revolving credit facility, which matures in October 2019. The revolving credit facility enables the company to borrow funds on an unsecured basis at variable interest rates and contains various covenants. At June 30, 2016, the company was in compliance with all its credit facility covenants. Commitment fees under the credit facility were not material. There were no amounts outstanding under the credit facility as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Access to Capital
The company intends to fund short-term and long-term financial obligations as they mature through cash on hand, future cash flows from operations, or by issuing additional debt. The companys ability to generate cash flows from operations, issue debt, or enter into financing arrangements on acceptable terms could be adversely affected if there is a material decline in the demand for the companys products or in the solvency of its customers or suppliers, deterioration in the companys key financial ratios or credit ratings or other material unfavorable changes in business conditions. At the current time, the company believes it has sufficient financial flexibility to issue debt, enter into other financing arrangements and attract long-term capital on acceptable terms to support the companys growth objectives.
Credit Ratings
On April 28, 2016, following the announcement of the proposed acquisition of Stemcentrx, Standard & Poors Rating Services (S&P) lowered AbbVies corporate credit rating and senior unsecured debt rating to A- from A. AbbVies A-1 commercial paper rating remained unchanged. S&P revised its ratings outlook to stable from negative. On June 1, 2016, Moodys Investor Service downgraded AbbVies senior unsecured long-term rating to Baa2 from Baa1 and affirmed AbbVies Prime-2 short-term rating. There were no additional changes in the companys credit ratings in the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Unfavorable changes to the ratings may have an adverse impact on future financing arrangements; however, they would not affect the companys ability to draw on its credit facility and would not result in an acceleration of scheduled maturities of any of the companys outstanding debt.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Certain of these policies are considered critical as these most significantly impact the companys financial condition and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may vary from these estimates. A summary of the companys significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 entitled Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. There have been no significant changes in the companys application of its critical accounting policies during the three months or six months ended June 30, 2016.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q may be forward-looking statements for purposes of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words believe, expect, anticipate, project, and similar expressions, among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. AbbVie cautions that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, challenges to intellectual property, competition from other products, difficulties inherent in the research and development process, adverse litigation or government action, and changes to laws and regulations applicable to our industry. Additional information about the economic, competitive, governmental, technological and other factors that may affect AbbVies operations is set forth in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in AbbVies Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. AbbVie notes these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. AbbVie undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of subsequent events or developments, except as required by law.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The company is exposed to risk that its earnings, cash flows and equity could be adversely impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. Certain derivative instruments are used when available on a cost-effective basis to hedge the companys underlying economic exposures. Refer to Note 8 entitled Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for further information regarding the companys financial instruments and hedging strategies.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
AbbVies primary net foreign currency exposures are the Euro, Japanese yen, and British pound. Various AbbVie foreign subsidiaries enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage exposures to changes in foreign exchange rates for anticipated transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the local entity. These contracts were designated as cash flow hedges of the variability of the cash flows due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and were marked-to-market with the resulting gains or losses reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss in AbbVies condensed consolidated balance sheets. The duration of these forward exchange contracts were generally less than eighteen months. Deferred gains or losses on these contracts are included in cost of products sold at the time the products are sold to a third party, generally not exceeding six months from the date of settlement. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, AbbVie held $2.7 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, in notional amounts of such contracts.
AbbVie enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency denominated trade payables and receivables and intercompany loans. The contracts, which were not designated as hedges, were marked-to-market, and resulting gains or losses were reflected in net foreign exchange loss on AbbVies condensed consolidated statements of earnings and were generally offset by losses or gains on the foreign currency exposure being managed. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, AbbVie held notional amounts of $6.3 billion and $6.8 billion, respectively, of such foreign currency forward exchange contracts.
The following table reflects the total foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

The company estimates that a 10% appreciation in the underlying currencies being hedged from their levels against the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant, would decrease the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts by $0.9 billion at June 30, 2016. If realized, this appreciation would negatively affect earnings over the remaining life of the contracts. A 10% appreciation is believed to be a reasonably possible near-term change in foreign currencies. Gains and losses on the hedging instruments offset losses and gains on the hedged transactions and reduce the earnings and stockholders equity volatility relating to foreign exchange.
The functional currency of the companys Venezuela operations is the U.S. dollar due to the hyperinflationary status of the Venezuelan economy. At December 31, 2015, there were three legal exchange mechanisms administered by the Venezuelan government. These were the official rate of 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars (VEF) per U.S. dollar, the Supplementary System for the Administration of Foreign Currency (SICAD) rate of approximately 13.5, and the Foreign Exchange Marginal System (SIMADI) rate of approximately 200. Effective March 10, 2016, the Venezuelan government devalued the official rate of 6.3 to 10 VEF per U.S. dollar, eliminated the SICAD rate, and replaced SIMADI with a new exchange mechanism, Divisa Complementaria (DICOM). As of June 30, 2016, the DICOM rate was approximately 628 VEF per U.S. dollar.
During the first quarter of 2016, in consideration of declining economic conditions in Venezuela and a decline in transactions settled at the official rate, AbbVie determined that its net monetary assets denominated in the Venezuelan bolivar were no longer expected to be settled at the official rate of 10 VEF per U.S. dollar, but rather at the DICOM rate. Therefore, during the first quarter of 2016, AbbVie recorded a charge of $298 million to net foreign exchange loss to revalue its bolivar-denominated net monetary assets using the DICOM rate of approximately 270 VEF per U.S. dollar.
As of June 30, 2016, AbbVies net monetary assets in Venezuela were approximately $3 million. The company cannot predict whether there will be further devaluations of the Venezuelan currency or whether use of the DICOM rate will continue to be supported by evolving facts and circumstances.
INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rate swaps are used to manage the companys exposure of changes in interest rates on the fair value of fixed-rate debt. The effect of these hedges is to change the fixed interest rate to a variable rate. AbbVie does not use derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates for investment securities. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, AbbVie had interest rate hedge contracts totaling $15.8 billion and $11.0 billion, respectively. The company estimates that an increase in the interest rates of 100-basis points would decrease the fair value of AbbVies interest rate swap contracts by approximately $793 million at June 30, 2016. If realized, the fair value reduction would affect earnings over the remaining life of the contracts. The company estimates that an increase of 100-basis points in long-term interest rates would decrease the fair value of long-term debt by $2.5 billion at June 30, 2016.
MARKET PRICE RISK
AbbVies main exposure to market price risk is on the debt securities investment portfolio (the portfolio), which is subject to changes in fair value as a result of interest rate fluctuations and other market factors. It is AbbVies policy to mitigate market price risk by
maintaining a diversified portfolio that limits the amount of exposure to a particular issuer and security type while placing limits on the amount of time to maturity. AbbVies investment policy limits investments to investment grade credit ratings. The company estimates that an increase in the interest rates of 100 basis points would decrease the fair value of the portfolio by approximately $23 million at June 30, 2016. If realized, the fair value reduction would affect earnings in the period incurred.
AbbVie also holds equity securities in other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are traded on public stock exchanges. A hypothetical 20% decrease in the share prices of these investments would decrease the fair value of these investments by $15 million at June 30, 2016. A 20% decrease is believed to be a reasonably possible near-term change in share prices.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Chief Executive Officer, Richard A. Gonzalez, and the Chief Financial Officer, William J. Chase, evaluated the effectiveness of AbbVies disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and concluded that AbbVies disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information AbbVie is required to disclose in the reports that it files or submits with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by AbbVie in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to AbbVies management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in AbbVies internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, AbbVies internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls. AbbVies management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that AbbVies disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.
The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

1. In addition to AbbVie shares repurchased on the open market under a publicly announced program, if any, these shares included the shares deemed surrendered to AbbVie to pay the exercise price in connection with the exercise of employee stock options 1,680 in April; 3,560 in May; and 21,926 in June, with average exercise prices of $41.60, $44.38, and $45.39, respectively.
These shares do not include the shares surrendered to AbbVie to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock or restricted stock units.
2. On October 20, 2014, AbbVie announced that its board of directors authorized the purchase of up to $5.0 billion of its common stock. In March 2015 and in April 2016, the board of directors authorized increases of $5.0 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively, to this repurchase program in anticipation of executing accelerated share repurchase agreements in connection with the acquisitions of Pharmacyclics, Inc. and Stemcentrx, Inc., respectively. Purchases of AbbVie shares under this program may be made from time to time at managements discretion. The program has no time limit and can be discontinued at any time.
3. On June 1, 2016, AbbVie entered into and executed a $3.8 billion accelerated share repurchase agreement pursuant to which AbbVie received an initial delivery of approximately 54 million shares of AbbVies common stock on June 2, 2016, which represented approximately 90% of the total shares expected to be delivered under the agreement, at an average repurchase price of $62.83. At settlement of the agreement, the counterparty may be required to deliver additional shares of AbbVies common stock to AbbVie or, under certain circumstances, AbbVie may be required to deliver shares of its common stock or may elect to make a cash payment. The total number of shares to be repurchased under the agreement will be based on the daily volume-weighted average price of AbbVies common stock during the term of the agreement, less a discount, and subject to adjustment. The final settlement of the agreement is expected to occur before the end of the fourth quarter of 2016 and may be accelerated at the option of the counterparty.
