Note 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Basis of Consolidation
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the SEC and U.S. GAAP for interim reporting. Under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required for annual financial statements can be condensed or omitted. The Company is responsible for the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. BMS's consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of Celgene from the date of acquisition on November 20, 2019. These financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the 2019 Form 10-K. Refer to the Summary of Abbreviated Terms at the end of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for terms used throughout the document.
Business Segment Information
BMS operates in a single segment engaged in the discovery, development, licensing, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases. A global research and development organization and supply chain organization are responsible for the discovery, development, manufacturing and supply of products. Regional commercial organizations market, distribute and sell the products. The business is also supported by global corporate staff functions. Consistent with BMS's operational structure, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), as the chief operating decision maker, manages and allocates resources at the global corporate level. Managing and allocating resources at the global corporate level enables the CEO to assess both the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources across functions, therapeutic areas, regional commercial organizations and research and development projects in line with our overarching long-term corporate-wide strategic goals, rather than on a product or franchise basis. The determination of a single segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the CEO for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting future periods. For further information on product and regional revenue, see “—Note 2. Revenue.”
Use of Estimates and Judgments
Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Accordingly, the results and trends in these unaudited consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of full year operating results. The preparation of financial statements requires the use of management estimates, judgments and assumptions. The most significant assumptions are estimates used in determining accounting for business combinations; impairments of intangible assets; sales rebate and return accruals; legal contingencies; and income taxes. Actual results may differ from estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to conform the prior period interim consolidated financial statements to the current period presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Financial Instruments - Measurement of Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. Entities will be required to use a forward-looking estimated loss model. Available-for-sale debt security credit losses will be recognized as allowances rather than a reduction in amortized cost. BMS adopted the amended guidance on a modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2020. The amended guidance did not impact BMS’s results of operations.

Contract assets were not material at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Note 3. ALLIANCES
BMS enters into collaboration arrangements with third parties for the development and commercialization of certain products. Although each of these arrangements is unique in nature, both parties are active participants in the operating activities of the collaboration and exposed to significant risks and rewards depending on the commercial success of the activities. BMS may either in-license intellectual property owned by the other party or out-license its intellectual property to the other party. These arrangements also typically include research, development, manufacturing, and/or commercial activities and can cover a single investigational compound or commercial product or multiple compounds and/or products in various life cycle stages. The rights and obligations of the parties can be global or limited to geographic regions. BMS refers to these collaborations as alliances and its partners as alliance partners.
Selected financial information pertaining to alliances was as follows, including net product sales when BMS is the principal in the third-party customer sale for products subject to the alliance. Expenses summarized below do not include all amounts attributed to the activities for the products in the alliance, but only the payments between the alliance partners or the related amortization if the payments were deferred or capitalized.

Significant developments and updates related to alliances during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are set forth below.
Otsuka
Effective January 1, 2020, Otsuka is no longer co-promoting Sprycel in the U.S. and as a result, this arrangement is no longer considered a collaboration under ASC 808. Revenues earned and fees paid to Otsuka in the Oncology Territory in 2020 are not included in the table above.

bluebird
BMS and bluebird jointly develop and commercialize novel disease-altering gene therapy product candidates targeting BCMA. The collaboration arrangement began in 2013 and included (i) a right for BMS to license any anti-BCMA products resulting from the collaboration, (ii) a right for bluebird to participate in the development and commercialization of any licensed products resulting from the collaboration through a 50/50 co-development and profit share in the U.S. in exchange for a reduction of milestone payments, and (iii) sales based milestones and royalties payable to bluebird upon the commercialization of any licensed products resulting from the collaboration if bluebird declined to exercise their co-development and profit sharing rights. The options to license ide-cel (bb2121) and bb21217 were exercised in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
BMS and bluebird share equally in all profits and losses relating to developing, commercializing and manufacturing ide-cel within the U.S. BMS is exclusively responsible for the development and commercialization of ide-cel outside the U.S.
BMS is responsible for the worldwide development, including related funding after the substantial completion by bluebird of the ongoing Phase I clinical trial, and commercialization of bb21217. bluebird has an option to co-develop, co-promote and share equally in all profits and losses in the U.S.
In the second quarter of 2020, BMS and bluebird amended their collaboration arrangement where, among other items, BMS is assuming the contract manufacturing agreements relating to ide-cel adherent lentiviral vector. Over time, BMS is assuming responsibility for manufacturing ide-cel suspension lentiviral vector outside of the U.S., with bluebird responsible for manufacturing ide-cel suspension lentiviral vector in the U.S. The parties were also released from future exclusivity related to BCMA-directed T cell therapies. In addition, BMS agreed to buy out its obligation to pay bluebird future ex-U.S. milestones and royalties on ide-cel and bb21217 for a payment of $200 million, which was included in Research and development expense.
Note 4. ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES, LICENSING AND OTHER ARRANGEMENTS
Acquisitions
Business Combination
Celgene
On November 20, 2019, BMS completed the Celgene acquisition. The acquisition is expected to further position BMS as a leading biopharmaceutical company for sustained innovation and long-term growth and to address the needs of patients with cancer, inflammatory, immunologic or cardiovascular diseases through high-value innovative medicines and leading scientific capabilities. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair value as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change for income tax matters. The amounts recognized will be finalized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained, but no later than one year after the acquisition date.
The following table summarizes the provisional amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, as well as measurement period adjustments made year-to-date to the amounts initially recorded in 2019. The measurement period adjustments reflected in 2020 primarily resulted from completing valuations of real estate and personal property, revised future cash flow estimates for certain intangible assets, changes in the estimated tax basis of certain intangible assets based upon a tax ruling which reduced deferred income tax liabilities and other changes to certain equity investments, legal contingency and income tax liabilities. The related impact to net earnings that would have been recognized in previous periods if the adjustments were recognized as of the acquisition date is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

Manufacturing Operations
In the second quarter of 2019, BMS agreed to sell its manufacturing and packaging facility in Anagni, Italy to Catalent, Inc. The transaction was accounted for as the sale of a business and the sale was completed in the fourth quarter of 2019. The assets were reduced to their relative fair value after considering the purchase price resulting in an impairment charge of $109 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 that was included in Cost of products sold.

Note 6. RESTRUCTURING
A restructuring and integration plan is being implemented as an initiative to realize $2.5 billion of sustainable run-rate synergies resulting from cost savings and avoidance from the Celgene acquisition. The synergies are expected to be realized in Cost of products sold (10%), Marketing, selling and administrative expenses (55%) and Research and development expenses (35%). The majority of charges are expected to be incurred through 2022, and range between $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion. Cumulative charges of approximately $1.3 billion have been recognized including integration planning and execution expenses, employee termination benefit costs and accelerated stock-based compensation, contract termination costs and other shutdown costs associated with site exits. Cash outlays in connection with these actions are expected to be approximately $2.5 billion. Employee workforce reductions were approximately 900 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

In October 2016, a restructuring plan was announced to evolve and streamline BMS's operating model. The majority of charges are expected to be incurred through 2020, range between $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion. Cumulative charges of approximately $1.5 billion have been recognized including employee termination benefit costs, contract termination costs, accelerated depreciation and impairment charges and other costs associated with manufacturing and R&D site exits. The remaining charges are expected to result from additional site exit costs. Cash outlays in connection with these actions are expected to be approximately 40% to 50% of the total charges.

The tax impact attributed to specified items was primarily due to non-deductible contingent value rights charges and low jurisdictional tax rates attributed to inventory and intangible asset purchase price adjustments in the current periods. The second quarter 2020 includes an $853 million deferred tax charge resulting from an internal transfer of certain intangible assets to the U.S. and an additional $255 million GILTI tax charge upon finalization of the Otezla* divestiture tax consequences with tax authorities. The tax impact of these discrete items are reflected immediately and are not considered in estimating the annual effective tax rate. Additional changes to the effective tax rate may occur in future periods due to various reasons including pretax earnings mix, tax reserves, cash repatriations and revised interpretations of the relevant tax code.
BMS is currently under examination by a number of tax authorities, which have proposed or are considering proposing material adjustments to tax positions for issues such as transfer pricing, certain tax credits and the deductibility of certain expenses. It is reasonably possible that new issues will be raised by tax authorities, which may require adjustments to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits; however, an estimate of such adjustments cannot reasonably be made at this time.
It is also reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2020 could decrease in the range of approximately $350 million to $390 million in the next twelve months as a result of the settlement of certain tax audits and other events. The expected change in unrecognized tax benefits may result in the payment of additional taxes, adjustment of certain deferred taxes and/or recognition of tax benefits. It is reasonably possible that new issues will be raised by tax authorities that may increase unrecognized tax benefits; however, an estimate of such increases cannot reasonably be made at this time. BMS believes that it has adequately provided for all open tax years by tax jurisdiction.

As further described in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 9. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” in the Company's 2019 Form 10-K, the Company's fair value estimates use inputs that are either (1) quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs); (2) observable prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (Level 2 inputs); or (3) unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
Contingent consideration obligations are recorded at their estimated fair values and these obligations are revalued each reporting period until the related contingencies are resolved. The contingent value rights are adjusted to fair value using the traded price of the securities at the end of each reporting period. The fair value measurements for other contingent consideration liabilities are estimated using probability-weighted discounted cash flow approaches that are based on significant unobservable inputs related to product candidates acquired in business combinations and are reviewed quarterly. These inputs include, as applicable, estimated probabilities and timing of achieving specified development and regulatory milestones, estimated annual sales and the discount rate used to calculate the present value of estimated future payments. Significant changes which increase or decrease the probabilities of achieving the related development and regulatory events, shorten or lengthen the time required to achieve such events, or increase or decrease estimated annual sales would result in corresponding increases or decreases in the fair values of these obligations. The fair value of our contingent consideration as of June 30, 2020 was calculated using the following significant unobservable inputs:
Ranges (weighted average) utilized as of: | |||||
Inputs | June 30, 2020 | ||||
Discount rate | 2.2% to 2.7% (2.4%) | ||||
Probability of payment | 0% to 80% (2.6%) | ||||

Equity investments not measured at fair value and excluded from the above fair value table were limited partnerships and other equity method investments of $449 million at June 30, 2020 and $429 million at December 31, 2019 and other equity investments without readily determinable fair values of $718 million at June 30, 2020 and $781 million at December 31, 2019. These amounts are included in Other non-current assets. Upward adjustments to equity investments without readily determinable fair values for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $197 million and $272 million, respectively, resulting from observable price changes for similar securities for the same issuer and were recorded in Other (income)/expense, net. Downward adjustments to equity investments without readily determinable fair values for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $13 million and $201 million, respectively.

Qualifying Hedges and Non-Qualifying Derivatives
Cash Flow Hedges — Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge certain forecasted intercompany inventory purchases and sales transactions and certain foreign currency transactions. The fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges are temporarily reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and included in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The net gain or loss on foreign currency forward contracts is expected to be reclassified to net earnings (primarily included in Cost of products sold and Other (income)/expense, net) within the next 12 months. The notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was primarily attributed to the euro of $2.2 billion and Japanese yen of $916 million at June 30, 2020.
The earnings impact related to discontinued cash flow hedges and hedge ineffectiveness was not material during all periods presented. Cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued when the forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring within 60 days after the originally forecasted date or when the hedge is no longer effective. Assessments to determine whether derivatives designated as qualifying hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items are performed at inception and on a quarterly basis. Foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments are used to offset exposures in certain foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and earnings. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in earnings as they occur.
BMS may hedge a portion of its future foreign currency exposure by utilizing a strategy that involves both a purchased local currency put option and a written local currency call option that are accounted for as hedges of future sales denominated in that local currency. Specifically, BMS sells (or writes) a local currency call option and purchases a local currency put option with the same expiration dates and local currency notional amounts but with different strike prices. The premium collected from the sale of the call option is equal to the premium paid for the purchased put option, resulting in no net premium being paid. This combination of transactions is generally referred to as a “zero-cost collar.” The expiration dates and notional amounts correspond to the amount and timing of forecasted foreign currency sales. The foreign currency zero-cost collar contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2020 had settlement dates within 12 months. If the U.S. Dollar weakens relative to the currency of the hedged anticipated sales, the purchased put option value reduces to zero and we benefit from the increase in the U.S. Dollar equivalent value of our anticipated foreign currency cash flows; however, this benefit would be capped at the strike level of the written call, which forms the upper end of the collar.
Net Investment Hedges — Non-U.S. dollar borrowings of €950 million ($1.1 billion) at June 30, 2020 are designated as net investment hedges to hedge euro currency exposures of the net investment in certain foreign affiliates and are recognized in long-term debt. The effective portion of foreign exchange gain on the remeasurement of euro debt was included in the foreign currency translation component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss with the related offset in long-term debt. Contract fair value changes are recorded in the foreign currency translation component of Other Comprehensive (Loss)/Income with a related offset in Other non-current assets or Other non-current liabilities.
Cross-currency interest rate swap contracts of $400 million at June 30, 2020 are designated to hedge Japanese yen currency exposure of BMS's net investment in its Japan subsidiaries. Contract fair value changes are recorded in the foreign currency translation component of Other Comprehensive (Loss)/Income with a related offset in Other non-current assets or Other non-current liabilities.
15
Fair Value Hedges — Fixed to floating interest rate swap contracts are designated as fair value hedges and used as an interest rate risk management strategy to create an appropriate balance of fixed and floating rate debt. The contracts and underlying debt for the hedged benchmark risk are recorded at fair value. The effective interest rate for the contracts is one-month LIBOR (0.2% as of June 30, 2020) plus an interest rate spread of 4.6%. Gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value of the underlying debt attributable to the hedged benchmark interest rate risk are recorded in interest expense with an associated offset to the carrying value of debt. Since the specific terms and notional amount of the swap are intended to align with the debt being hedged, all changes in fair value of the swap are recorded in interest expense with an associated offset to the derivative asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheet. As a result, there was no net impact in earnings. When the underlying swap is terminated prior to maturity, the fair value adjustment to the underlying debt is amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt.
In the second quarter of 2019, deal contingent forward starting interest rate swap contracts were entered into, with an aggregate notional principal amount of $10.4 billion to hedge interest rate risk associated with the anticipated issuance of long-term debt to fund the Celgene acquisition and the forward starting interest rate swap option contracts were terminated. The deal contingent forward starting interest rate swap contracts were terminated upon the completion of the Celgene acquisition.

BMS has a share repurchase program, authorized by its Board of Directors, allowing for repurchases of its shares. Treasury stock is recognized at the cost to reacquire the shares. Shares issued from treasury are recognized utilizing the first-in first-out method.
The outstanding share repurchase authority authorization under the program was $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2019. In February 2020, the Board of Directors approved an increase of $5.0 billion to the share repurchase authorization for BMS common stock. BMS repurchased 1.4 million shares of its common stock for $81 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The remaining share repurchase capacity under the share repurchase program was approximately $5.9 billion as of June 30, 2020.
In the fourth quarter of 2019, BMS executed accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreements to repurchase an aggregate $7 billion of common stock. The ASR was funded with cash on-hand. In the fourth quarter of 2019, approximately 99 million shares of common stock (80% of the $7 billion aggregate repurchase price) were received by BMS and included in treasury stock. In the second quarter of 2020, the agreement was settled and approximately 16 million shares of common stock were received by BMS and transferred to treasury stock.

Note 18. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES
BMS and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits, claims, government investigations and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These claims or proceedings can involve various types of parties, including governments, competitors, customers, suppliers, service providers, licensees, employees, or shareholders, among others. These matters may involve patent infringement, antitrust, securities, pricing, sales and marketing practices, environmental, commercial, contractual rights, licensing obligations, health and safety matters, consumer fraud, employment matters, product liability and insurance coverage, among others. The resolution of these matters often develops over a long period of time and expectations can change as a result of new findings, rulings, appeals or settlement arrangements. Legal proceedings that are significant or that BMS believes could become significant or material are described below.
While BMS does not believe that any of these matters, except as otherwise specifically noted below, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or liquidity as BMS believes it has substantial defenses in the matters, the outcomes of BMS’s legal proceedings and other contingencies are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. There can be no assurance that there will not be an increase in the scope of one or more of these pending matters or any other or future lawsuits, claims, government investigations or other legal proceedings will not be material to BMS’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for a particular period. Furthermore, failure to enforce BMS’s patent rights would likely result in substantial decreases in the respective product revenues from generic competition.
Unless otherwise noted, BMS is unable to assess the outcome of the respective matters nor is it able to estimate the possible loss or range of losses that could potentially result for such matters. Contingency accruals are recognized when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. Developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause changes in the amounts previously accrued are evaluated each reporting period. For a discussion of BMS’s tax contingencies, see “—Note 7. Income Taxes”.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Anti-PD-1 Antibody Litigation
In September 2015, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (“Dana-Farber”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts seeking to correct the inventorship on up to six related U.S. patents directed to methods of treating cancer using PD-1 and PD-L1 antibodies. Specifically, Dana-Farber is seeking to add two scientists as inventors to these patents. In October 2017, Pfizer was allowed to intervene in this case alleging that one of the scientists identified by Dana-Farber was employed by a company eventually acquired by Pfizer during the relevant period. In February 2019, BMS settled the lawsuit with Pfizer. A bench trial in the lawsuit with Dana-Farber took place in February 2019. In May 2019, the Court issued an opinion ruling that the two scientists should be added as inventors to the patents. The decision was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Federal Circuit affirmed the District Court opinion. BMS is considering its appeal options. In June 2019, Dana-Farber filed a new lawsuit in the District of Massachusetts against BMS seeking damages as a result of the Court’s decision adding the scientists as inventors.
CAR T
On October 18, 2017, the day on which the FDA approved Kite Pharma, Inc.’s (“Kite”) Yescarta* product, Juno, along with Sloan Kettering Institute for Cancer Research (“SKI”), filed a complaint against Kite in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleged that Yescarta* infringes certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,446,190 (“the ’190 Patent”) concerning CAR T cell technologies. Kite filed an answer and counterclaims asserting non-infringement and invalidity of the ’190 Patent. In December 2019, following an eight-day trial, the jury rejected Kite’s defenses, finding that Kite willfully infringed the ’190 Patent and awarding to Juno and SKI a reasonable royalty consisting of a $585 million upfront payment and a 27.6% running royalty on Kite’s sales of Yescarta* through the expiration of the ’190 Patent in August 2024. In January 2020, Kite renewed its previous motion for judgment as a matter of law and also moved for a new trial, and Juno filed a motion seeking enhanced damages, supplemental damages, ongoing royalties, and prejudgment interest. In March 2020, the Court denied both of Kite’s motions in their entirety. In April 2020, the Court granted in part Juno’s motion and entered a final judgment awarding to Juno and SKI approximately $1.2 billion in royalties, interest and enhanced damages and a 27.6% running royalty on Kite’s sales of Yescarta* from December 13, 2019 through the expiration of the ’190 Patent in August 2024. In April 2020, Kite appealed the final judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. No date has been scheduled for an oral hearing on the appeal.

Eliquis - U.S.
In 2017, BMS received Notice Letters from twenty-five generic companies notifying BMS that they had filed aNDAs containing paragraph IV certifications seeking approval of generic versions of Eliquis. As a result, two Eliquis patents listed in the FDA Orange Book are being challenged: the composition of matter patent claiming apixaban specifically and a formulation patent. In response, BMS, along with its partner Pfizer, initiated patent infringement actions under the Hatch-Waxman Act against all generic filers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in April 2017. In August 2017, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted patent term restoration to the composition of matter patent to November 2026, thereby restoring the term of the Eliquis composition of matter patent, which is BMS’s basis for projected LOE. BMS settled with a number of aNDA filers. These settlements do not affect BMS’s projected LOE for Eliquis. A trial with the remaining aNDA filers took place in late 2019. On August 5, 2020, the U.S. District Court issued a decision finding that the remaining aNDA filers’ products infringed the Eliquis composition of matter and formulation patents and that both Eliquis patents are not invalid.
Plavix* - Australia
Sanofi was notified that, in August 2007, GenRx Proprietary Limited (“GenRx”) obtained regulatory approval of an application for clopidogrel bisulfate 75mg tablets in Australia. GenRx, formerly a subsidiary of Apotex Inc., subsequently changed its name to Apotex (“GenRx-Apotex”). In August 2007, GenRx-Apotex filed an application in the Federal Court of Australia seeking revocation of Sanofi’s Australian Patent No. 597784 (Case No. NSD 1639 of 2007). Sanofi filed counterclaims of infringement and sought an injunction. On September 21, 2007, the Federal Court of Australia granted Sanofi’s injunction. A subsidiary of BMS was subsequently added as a party to the proceedings. In February 2008, a second company, Spirit Pharmaceuticals Pty. Ltd., also filed a revocation suit against the same patent. This case was consolidated with the GenRx-Apotex case. On August 12, 2008, the Federal Court of Australia held that claims of Patent No. 597784 covering clopidogrel bisulfate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, and taurocholate salts were valid. The Federal Court also held that the process claims, pharmaceutical composition claims, and claim directed to clopidogrel and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts were invalid. BMS and Sanofi filed notices of appeal in the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia (“Full Court”) appealing the holding of invalidity of the claim covering clopidogrel and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, process claims, and pharmaceutical composition claims. GenRx-Apotex appealed the holding of validity of the clopidogrel bisulfate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, and taurocholate claims. On September 29, 2009, the Full Court held all of the claims of Patent No. 597784 invalid. In March 2010, the High Court of Australia denied a request by BMS and Sanofi to hear an appeal of the Full Court decision. The case was remanded to the Federal Court for further proceedings related to damages sought by GenRx-Apotex. BMS and GenRx-Apotex settled, and the GenRx-Apotex case was dismissed. The Australian government intervened in this matter seeking maximum damages up to 449 million AUD ($309 million), plus interest, which would be split between BMS and Sanofi, for alleged losses experienced for paying a higher price for branded Plavix* during the period when the injunction was in place. BMS and Sanofi dispute that the Australian government is entitled to any damages. A trial was concluded in September 2017. In April 2020, the Federal Court issued a decision dismissing the Australian government's claim for damages. In May 2020, the Australian government appealed the Federal Court’s decision.
Pomalyst - Canada
Celgene received a Notice of Allegation in January 2020 from Natco Pharma (Canada) Inc. (“Natco Canada”) notifying Celgene that it had filed an Abbreviated New Drug Submission (“aNDS”) with Canada’s Minister of Health with respect to certain of Celgene’s Canadian patents.

Beginning in 2017, Celgene received Notice letters on behalf of Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (“Teva”); Apotex Inc. (“Apotex”) and Apotex Corp.; Hetero Labs Limited, Hetero Labs Limited Unit-V, Hetero Drugs Limited, Hetero USA, Inc. (together, “Hetero”); Eugia Pharma Specialities Limited and Aurobindo Pharma Ltd.; Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.; and Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc. notifying Celgene that they had filed aNDAs containing paragraph IV certifications seeking approval to market generic versions of Pomalyst in the U.S. In response, Celgene filed patent infringement actions against the companies in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting certain FDA Orange Book-listed patents and the companies filed answers, counterclaims and declaratory judgment actions alleging that the asserted patents are invalid, unenforceable and not infringed. These litigations were subsequently consolidated. In March 2020, Celgene subsequently filed additional patent infringement actions in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against each of the companies asserting a newly-issued patent that is listed in the FDA Orange Book and that covers formulations comprising pomalidomide. The companies each filed responsive pleadings between April and June 2020, alleging that the patent is invalid and not infringed. The Court has consolidated these additional litigations with the previously-consolidated litigations. A trial is scheduled to begin on January 11, 2021.
In February and March 2019, Celgene filed additional patent infringement actions in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against the companies asserting certain patents that are not listed in the FDA Orange Book and that cover polymorphic forms of pomalidomide, and the companies filed answer and/or counterclaims alleging that each of these patents is invalid and/or not infringed. In these actions, the Court has ordered that the parties be ready for trial by April 15, 2021.
In June 2019, Celgene received a Notice Letter from Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd. and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. (together, “DRL”) notifying Celgene that they had filed an aNDA containing paragraph IV certifications seeking approval to market a generic version of Pomalyst in the U.S. In response, Celgene initiated a patent infringement action against DRL in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting certain FDA Orange Book-listed patents, and DRL filed an answer and counterclaims alleging that each of the patents is invalid and/or not infringed.
In March 2020, Celgene filed an additional patent infringement action in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against DRL asserting a newly-issued patent that is listed in the FDA Orange Book and that covers formulations comprising pomalidomide, which has been consolidated with the above DRL case. The Court has not set a trial date in this consolidated action.
Revlimid - Canada
Celgene received two Notices of Allegation in July 2018 from Natco Canada notifying Celgene of the filing of Natco Canada’s two separate aNDSs with Canada’s Minister of Health with respect to certain of Celgene’s Canadian patents. Natco Canada is seeking to market a generic version of Revlimid in Canada. In response, Celgene initiated patent infringement actions in the Federal Court of Canada and sought an injunction. Natco alleges that the asserted patents are invalid and/or not infringed. The trial, which was scheduled to start on March 30, 2020, has been postponed due to COVID-19. In July 2020, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement, which concluded the matter.
Revlimid - U.S.
Celgene has received Notice Letters on behalf of DRL; Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc.; Cipla Ltd. (“Cipla”); Apotex; Sun Pharma Global FZE, Sun Pharma Global Inc., Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc., and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited; Hetero; Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., Mylan Inc., and Mylan N.V. (collectively, “Mylan”); and Aurobindo Pharma Limited, Eugia Pharma Specialities Limited, Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc., and Aurolife Pharma LLC notifying Celgene that they had filed aNDAs containing paragraph IV certifications seeking approval to market generic versions of Revlimid in the U.S. In response, Celgene filed patent infringement actions against the companies in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting certain FDA Orange Book-listed patents as well as other litigations asserting other non-FDA Orange Book-listed patents against certain defendants, who have filed answers and/or counterclaims alleging that the asserted patents are invalid and/or not infringed. Mylan has filed a motion to dismiss the District of New Jersey action, and that motion remains pending. No trial date has been scheduled in any of these New Jersey actions.
Celgene has received two additional Notice Letters on behalf of Cipla, notifying Celgene that Cipla had filed two additional aNDAs containing paragraph IV certifications seeking approval to market generic versions of Revlimid in the U.S. In response, Celgene filed two additional patent infringement actions against Cipla in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting certain FDA Orange Book-listed patents. Cipla has filed an answer and counterclaims alleging that the asserted patents are invalid and/or not infringed in the first of those two actions and has not yet filed a responsive pleading in the second of those two actions. No trial date has been scheduled in either of these two actions.
26
Celgene also filed a patent infringement action against Mylan in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia (the “West Virginia action”) asserting certain FDA Orange Book-listed patents. In April 2020, in the West Virginia action, Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. filed its answer and counterclaims alleging that the patents are invalid, unenforceable and not infringed.

In May 2020, BMS received a Notice Letter from Lupin notifying BMS that it had filed an aNDA containing paragraph IV certifications seeking approval of a generic version of Sprycel in the U.S. and challenging two FDA Orange Book-listed monohydrate form patents expiring in 2025 and 2026. In response, BMS filed patent infringement actions in the U.S. District Courts for the District of New Jersey and Delaware. No trial date has been scheduled.
PRICING, SALES AND PROMOTIONAL PRACTICES LITIGATION
Plavix* State Attorneys General Lawsuits
BMS and certain Sanofi entities are defendants in consumer protection and/or false advertising actions brought by the attorneys general of Hawaii and New Mexico relating to the sales and promotion of Plavix*. The Hawaii matter is currently scheduled for trial in October 2020.
PRODUCT LIABILITY LITIGATION
BMS is a party to various product liability lawsuits. Plaintiffs in these cases seek damages and other relief on various grounds for alleged personal injury and economic loss. As previously disclosed, in addition to lawsuits, BMS also faces unfiled claims involving its products.
Abilify*
BMS and Otsuka are co-defendants in product liability litigation related to Abilify*. Plaintiffs allege Abilify* caused them to engage in compulsive gambling and other impulse control disorders. There have been over 2,500 cases filed in state and federal courts and additional cases are pending in Canada. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated the federal court cases for pretrial purposes in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida. In February 2019, BMS and Otsuka entered into a master settlement agreement establishing a proposed settlement program to resolve all Abilify* compulsivity claims filed as of January 28, 2019 in the MDL as well as various state courts, including California and New Jersey. To date, approximately 2,700 cases, comprising approximately 3,900 plaintiffs, have been dismissed based on participation in the settlement program or failure to comply with settlement related court orders. In the U.S., approximately 138 cases remain pending on behalf of 218 plaintiffs, who either chose not to participate in the settlement program or filed their claims after the settlement cut-off date. There are ten cases pending in Canada (four class actions, six individual injury claims). Out of the ten cases, only three are active (the class actions in Quebec and Ontario and one individual injury claim). Both class actions have now been certified and will proceed separately.
27
Byetta*
Amylin, a former subsidiary of BMS, and Lilly are co-defendants in product liability litigation related to Byetta*. To date, there are approximately 590 separate lawsuits pending on behalf of approximately 2,245 active plaintiffs (including pending settlements), which include injury plaintiffs as well as claims by spouses and/or other beneficiaries, in various courts in the U.S. The majority of these cases have been brought by individuals who allege personal injury sustained after using Byetta*, primarily pancreatic cancer, and, in some cases, claiming alleged wrongful death. The majority of cases are pending in federal court in San Diego in an MDL or in a coordinated proceeding in California Superior Court in Los Angeles (“JCCP”). In November 2015, the defendants’ motion for summary judgment based on federal preemption was granted in both the MDL and the JCCP. In November 2017, the Ninth Circuit reversed the MDL summary judgment order and remanded the case to the MDL. In November 2018, the California Court of Appeal reversed the state court summary judgment order and remanded those cases to the JCCP for further proceedings. Amylin has filed a motion for summary judgment based on federal preemption and a motion for summary judgment based on the absence of general causation evidence, both set to be heard in October 2020. Amylin had product liability insurance covering a substantial number of claims involving Byetta* (which has been exhausted). As part of BMS’s global diabetes business divestiture, BMS sold Byetta* to AstraZeneca in February 2014 and any additional liability to Amylin with respect to Byetta* is expected to be shared with AstraZeneca.
Onglyza*
BMS and AstraZeneca are co-defendants in product liability litigation related to Onglyza*. Plaintiffs assert claims, including claims for wrongful death, as a result of heart failure or other cardiovascular injuries they allege were caused by their use of Onglyza*. As of June 2020, claims are pending in state and federal court on behalf of approximately 279 individuals who allege they ingested the product and suffered an injury. In February 2018, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ordered all federal cases to be transferred to an MDL in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. A significant majority of the claims are pending in the MDL. As part of BMS’s global diabetes business divestiture, BMS sold Onglyza* to AstraZeneca in February 2014 and any potential liability with respect to Onglyza* is expected to be shared with AstraZeneca.
SECURITIES LITIGATION
BMS Securities Class Action
Since February 2018, two separate putative class action complaints were filed in the U.S. District for the Northern District of California and in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against BMS, BMS’s Chief Executive Officer, Giovanni Caforio, BMS’s Chief Financial Officer at the time, Charles A. Bancroft and certain former and current executives of BMS. The case in California has been voluntarily dismissed. The remaining complaint alleges violations of securities laws for BMS’s disclosures related to the CheckMate-026 clinical trial in lung cancer. In September 2019, the Court granted BMS’s motion to dismiss, but allowed the plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint. In October 2019, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. BMS has moved to dismiss the amended complaint. In June 2020, an oral argument on BMS’s motion to dismiss was held.
Celgene Securities Class Action
Beginning in March 2018, two putative class actions were filed against Celgene and certain of its officers in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Celgene Securities Class Action”). The complaints allege that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making misstatements and/or omissions concerning (1) trials of GED-0301, (2) Celgene’s 2020 outlook and projected sales of Otezla, and (3) the new drug application for Zeposia (ozanimod). The Court consolidated the two actions and appointed a lead plaintiff, lead counsel, and co-liaison counsel for the putative class. In February 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s amended complaint in full. In December 2019, the Court denied the motion to dismiss in part and granted the motion to dismiss in part (including all claims arising from alleged misstatements regarding GED-0301). Although the Court gave the plaintiff leave to re-plead the dismissed claims, it elected not to do so, and the dismissed claims are now dismissed with prejudice. No trial date has been scheduled for the claims that survived the Court’s order. In May 2020, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. In June 2020, the defendants filed their opposition to the plaintiff’s motion for class certification.
In April 2020, certain Schwab management investment companies on behalf of certain Schwab funds filed an individual action in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting largely the same allegations as the Celgene Securities Class Action against the same remaining defendants in that action. In July 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ complaint in full.
OTHER LITIGATION
Average Manufacturer Price Litigation
BMS is a defendant in a qui tam (whistleblower) lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in which the U.S. Government declined to intervene. The complaint alleges that BMS inaccurately reported its average manufacturer prices to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to lower what it owed. Similar claims have been filed against other companies. In January 2020, BMS reached an agreement in principle to resolve this matter subject to the negotiation of a definitive settlement agreement and other contingencies. BMS cannot provide assurances that its efforts to reach a final settlement will be successful.
28
HIV Medication Antitrust Lawsuits
BMS and several other manufacturers of HIV medications are defendants in related lawsuits pending in the Northern District of California. The lawsuits allege that the defendants’ agreements to develop and sell fixed-dose combination products for the treatment of HIV, including Atripla* and Evotaz, violate antitrust laws. The currently pending actions, which are asserted on behalf of indirect purchasers, were initiated in 2019 in the Northern District of California and in 2020 in the Southern District of Florida. The Florida matter was transferred to the Northern District of California. In July 2020, the Court granted in part defendants’ motion to dismiss, including dismissing with prejudice plaintiffs' claims as to an overarching conspiracy and plaintiffs' theories based on the alleged payment of royalties after patent expiration. Other claims, however, remain. A trial is scheduled for February 2022. In addition, an action on behalf of direct purchasers was filed in 2020 in the Northern District of California, but this action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice in June 2020.
Humana Litigations
On May 16, 2018, Humana, Inc. (“Humana”) filed a lawsuit against Celgene in the Pike County Circuit Court of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Humana’s complaint alleges Celgene engaged in unlawful off-label marketing in connection with sales of Thalomid and Revlimid and asserts claims against Celgene for fraud, breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment and violations of New Jersey’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. The complaint seeks, among other things, treble and punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. In April 2019, Celgene filed a motion to dismiss Humana’s complaint, which the Court denied in January 2020. No trial date has been scheduled. In May 2020, Celgene filed suit against Humana Pharmacy, Inc. (“HPI”), a Humana subsidiary, in Delaware Superior Court. Celgene’s complaint alleges that HPI breached its contractual obligations to Celgene by assigning claims to Humana that Humana is now asserting. The complaint seeks damages for HPI’s breach as well as a declaratory judgment.
On March 1, 2019, Humana filed a separate lawsuit against Celgene in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. Humana’s complaint alleges that Celgene violated various antitrust, consumer protection, and unfair competition laws to delay or prevent generic competition for Thalomid and Revlimid brand drugs, including (a) allegedly refusing to sell samples of products to generic manufacturers for purposes of bioequivalence testing intended to be included in aNDAs for approval to market generic versions of these products; (b) allegedly bringing unjustified patent infringement lawsuits, procuring invalid patents, and/or entering into anticompetitive patent settlements; (c) allegedly securing an exclusive supply contract for supply of thalidomide active pharmaceutical ingredient. The complaint purports to assert claims on behalf of Humana and its subsidiaries in several capacities, including as a direct purchaser and as an indirect purchaser, and seeks, among other things, treble and punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. Celgene filed a motion to dismiss Humana’s complaint, and the Court has stayed discovery pending adjudication of that motion. No trial date has been scheduled.
Thalomid and Revlimid Antitrust Class Action Litigation
Beginning in November 2014, certain putative class action lawsuits were filed against Celgene in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that Celgene violated various antitrust, consumer protection, and unfair competition laws by (a) allegedly securing an exclusive supply contract for the alleged purpose of preventing a generic manufacturer from securing its own supply of thalidomide active pharmaceutical ingredient, (b) allegedly refusing to sell samples of Thalomid and Revlimid brand drugs to various generic manufacturers for the alleged purpose of bioequivalence testing necessary for aNDAs to be submitted to the FDA for approval to market generic versions of these products, (c) allegedly bringing unjustified patent infringement lawsuits in order to allegedly delay approval for proposed generic versions of Thalomid and Revlimid, and/or (d) allegedly entering into settlements of patent infringement lawsuits with certain generic manufacturers that allegedly have had anticompetitive effects. The plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and putative classes of third-party payers, are seeking injunctive relief and damages. The various lawsuits were consolidated into a master action for all purposes. In October 2017, the plaintiffs filed a motion for certification of two damages classes under the laws of thirteen states and the District of Columbia and a nationwide injunction class. Celgene filed an opposition to the plaintiffs’ motion and a motion for judgment on the pleadings dismissing all state law claims where the plaintiffs no longer seek to represent a class. In October 2018, the Court denied the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and Celgene’s motion for judgment on the pleadings. In December 2018, the plaintiffs filed a new motion for class certification, which Celgene opposed. In July 2019, the parties reached a settlement under which all the putative class plaintiff claims would be dismissed with prejudice. In December 2019, after certain third-party payors who were members of the settlement class refused to release their potential claims and participate in the settlement, Celgene exercised its right to terminate the settlement agreement. In March 2020, Celgene reached a revised settlement with the class plaintiffs. In May 2020, the Court preliminarily approved the settlement and a hearing on fairness and final approval is scheduled for September 30, 2020. That settlement does not resolve the claims of certain entities that opted out of the first settlement.
In March 2020, United HealthCare Services, Inc. (“UHS”), affiliates of which opted out of the first settlement in the Thalomid and Revlimid Antitrust Class Action Litigation, filed a lawsuit against Celgene in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. UHS’s complaint makes largely the same claims and allegations as the class action litigation. The complaint purports to assert claims on behalf of UHS and its subsidiaries in several capacities, including as a direct purchaser and as an indirect purchaser, and seeks, among other things, treble and punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. Motions to transfer and dismiss this matter are pending.
29
GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS
Like other pharmaceutical companies, BMS and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation by national, state and local authorities in the U.S. and other countries in which BMS operates. As a result, BMS, from time to time, is subject to various governmental and regulatory inquiries and investigations as well as threatened legal actions and proceedings. It is possible that criminal charges, substantial fines and/or civil penalties, could result from government or regulatory investigations.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEEDINGS
As previously reported, BMS is a party to several environmental proceedings and other matters, and is responsible under various state, federal and foreign laws, including CERCLA, for certain costs of investigating and/or remediating contamination resulting from past industrial activity at BMS’s current or former sites or at waste disposal or reprocessing facilities operated by third parties.
CERCLA Matters
With respect to CERCLA matters for which BMS is responsible under various state, federal and foreign laws, BMS typically estimates potential costs based on information obtained from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or counterpart state or foreign agency and/or studies prepared by independent consultants, including the total estimated costs for the site and the expected cost-sharing, if any, with other “potentially responsible parties,” and BMS accrues liabilities when they are probable and reasonably estimable. BMS estimated its share of future costs for these sites to be $77.4 million at June 30, 2020, which represents the sum of best estimates or, where no best estimate can reasonably be made, estimates of the minimal probable amount among a range of such costs (without taking into account any potential recoveries from other parties). The amount includes the estimated costs for any additional probable loss associated with the previously disclosed North Brunswick Township High School Remediation Site.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition is provided as a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to enhance the understanding of our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company is a global biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to discover, develop and deliver innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases. Our principal strategy is to combine the resources, scale and capability of a pharmaceutical company with the speed and focus on innovation of the biotech industry. Our vision is to be the world's leading biopharmaceutical company that transforms patients' lives through science in areas where we believe that we have an opportunity to make a meaningful difference: oncology (both solid tumors and hematology), immunology, cardiovascular and fibrosis. We continue to advance the next wave of innovative medicines by investing significantly in our pipeline both internally and through business development activities. For further information on our strategy, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Executive Summary-Strategy” in our 2019 Form 10-K. Refer to the Summary of Abbreviated Terms at the end of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for terms used throughout the document.
We completed the Celgene transaction on November 20, 2019. We expect that our acquisition of Celgene will further position us as a leading biopharmaceutical company, expanding our oncology, hematology and immunology portfolios with several near-term assets and additional external partnerships. Commencing from the acquisition date, BMS's consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of Celgene.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged and subsequently expanded to a pandemic resulting in significant risks and disruptions to the health and welfare of the global population and economy. It remains difficult to reasonably assess or predict the full extent of the negative impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The impact will depend on future developments such as the ultimate duration and recovery from the pandemic, government actions, impact on the U.S. and global economies, customer behavior changes and timing for resumption to our normal operations, among others. Refer to “—COVID-19 and Market Factors” for further information.
Our revenues increased by 71% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of the Celgene acquisition, which contributed $8.4 billion of revenues or 69% of the growth, and higher demand for Eliquis. The first quarter 2020 favorable revenues impact from inventory build in sales channels was more than offset by a negative impact in the second quarter 2020 due to sales channel inventory work downs and lower demand from fewer new patient starts. The $2.30 decrease in GAAP EPS primarily resulted from (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) the unwinding of inventory fair value adjustments and (iii) tax charges resulting from an internal transfer of certain intangible assets and the Otezla* divestiture, partially offset by higher revenues. After adjusting for specified items, non-GAAP EPS increased $1.06 as a result of the Celgene acquisition.

COVID-19 and Market Factors
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect global healthcare systems as well as major economic and financial markets. Virtually all industries are facing challenges associated with the economic conditions resulting from efforts to address this pandemic. For example, many entities in certain industries have seen sharp declines in revenues due to regulatory and organizational mandates (e.g., “shelter in place” mandates, non-essential business and school closures) and voluntary changes in consumer behavior (e.g., “physical distancing”). Many entities continue to experience conditions often associated with a sudden and severe economic downturn. Such conditions may include financial market volatility and erosion of market value, deteriorating credit, liquidity concerns, further increases in government intervention, increasing unemployment, broad declines in consumer discretionary spending, increasing inventory levels, reductions in production because of decreased demand and supply constraints, layoffs and furloughs, and other restructuring activities.
We continue to monitor the impact on the business resulting from wider restrictions in select states and Non-U.S. countries regressing back to a shutdown phase. These events could negatively affect our planned recovery, pressuring demand from less patient visits and channel mix if unemployment data trends unfavorably. We have not incurred and do not anticipate disruptions to the supply of our medicines for patients due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
All of our internal manufacturing facilities and key contract manufacturers are operating with proper measures taken to help ensure employee safety. We have implemented a number of measures to protect the health and safety of our workforce including a mandatory work-from-home policy for our global workforce who can perform their jobs from home as well as restrictions on business travel, workplace and in-person meetings. Field-based personnel in the U.S. and certain other markets suspended in-person customer interactions in healthcare settings and moved to a remote engagement model to ensure continued support for healthcare professionals, patient care and access to our medicines. Although certain field-based sales teams have begun in person engagement in selected states and Non-U.S. regions, the majority of interactions remain remote.
The situation remains dynamic and challenging to assess the potential impact on our operations such as the ability and willingness of patients to access treatment centers or obtain a prescription and changes in prescribing patterns that may potentially affect our operations in the long-term. Certain changes in buying patterns occurred including payers implementing new policies to encourage larger prescription sizes and earlier refills to help patients avoid trips to the pharmacy and decreased patient office visits. Though these trends have been reversing in the second quarter, it is uncertain how these factors will evolve in the future.
An estimated $500 million favorable impact on revenues in the first quarter 2020 primarily from sales channel inventory build was more than offset by an estimated $600 million negative impact in the second quarter 2020. The second quarter 2020 impact was estimated to be primarily attributed to an inventory work down of approximately $350 million and lower demand of approximately $250 million resulting from fewer new patient starts. The timing of specific product launches depends on the relevant facts and circumstances for each situation. For example, we delayed the commercialization of Zeposia to June based on the best health interest of our patients, customers and workforce. In contrast, Reblozyl was available for MDS patients following its approval for this additional indication in April 2020. Our expanded U.S. patient assistance programs provided certain covered BMS medicines free to eligible patients that lost employment and health insurance due to COVID-19. It is uncertain what the aggregate impact of the above factors and potential changes in channel mix will have on our revenues and expenses during 2020.
Clinical studies are beginning to recover during July following completion of re-assessments to commence operations and the opening of additional sites. However, certain delays are occurring due to slower enrollment. Patient enrollment for certain new clinical studies and ongoing studies at new sites were not activated and are carefully being started when the safety of study participants, our employees and staff at clinical trial sites, regulatory compliance and scientific integrity of trial data can be assured. We expect many new studies to start through the first quarter of 2021 following the completion of feasibility assessments, rigorous planning and selected protocol simplifications. Suspended screening, enrollment and apheresis in our cellular therapy clinical trials occurred during March, however approximately half of our sites performing these studies recommenced activities. The temporary suspension in clinical trial activities did not affect the ongoing BLA activities with the FDA for idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel, bb2121) or lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel, JCAR017) including clinical trials that were already complete in preparation for the submission. Although the clinical trials that form the basis for these applications have completed enrollment, certain site inspections have not yet occurred and may result in delayed decisions from the FDA. Previously suspended research and early development activities performed in laboratories recently recommenced in all major sites in the U.S. although close monitoring of the situation continues.
32
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the financial markets. Although we incurred downward adjustments to our equity investment fair values of $674 million in the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to the decline in equity prices resulting from the pandemic, most of these fair values recovered during the second quarter of 2020. Additional significant charges related to equity investments may occur due to future volatility. There is also a potential adverse impact to our financial results due to foreign exchange volatility resulting in lower revenues and foreign currency losses. In addition, lower interest rates may reduce our previously expected interest income. We also assigned a value of approximately $64 billion to intangible assets obtained in the Celgene acquisition that closed in November 2019. Significant charges might occur in future periods due to a decline in previously expected cash flows as a direct or indirect result of the pandemic. This may occur due to delays in the enrollment or timely completion of clinical programs, FDA site inspections and other interactions with regulatory bodies in general, regulatory approvals, launches of newly approved products or lower demand in general.
Refer to “Part II—Item 1A. Risk Factors” for an update to the Company's risk factors resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Additional regulations in the U.S. may occur in the future, including healthcare reform initiatives, further changes to tax laws and pricing laws and potential importation restrictions that may reduce our results of operations, operating cash flow, liquidity and financial flexibility. For example, on July 24, 2020 the U.S. federal government issued four executive orders regarding U.S. drug pricing including (1) a preview to a proposal that would limit prices the U.S. government pays for certain medicines administered in hospitals or physician offices, known as international pricing index; (2) a proposal that would reform the Medicare rebate system; (3) a directive on prescription drug importation to allow states to operate programs to import FDA-approved drugs from foreign countries; (4) an order mandating discounts provided to certain hospitals for insulin and EpiPens be passed on to patients. Each of the executive orders will require additional rule making and implementation processes. See risk factor on the executive orders included under “Part II—Item 1A. Risk Factors”.
We continue to monitor the potential impact of the economic conditions in certain European and other countries and the related impact on prescription trends, pricing discounts and creditworthiness of our customers. We believe these economic conditions will not have a material impact on our liquidity, cash flow or financial flexibility.
The UK departed from the EU on January 31, 2020. The departure began a transition period that is set to end on December 31, 2020, during which the UK and the EU will negotiate their future relationship. Similar to other companies in our industry, certain regulatory, trade, labor and other aspects of our business will likely be affected during the transition period and over time. However, we currently do not believe that these matters and other related financial effects will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity. Our sales in the UK represent less than 3% of our total revenues.

Reductions to provisions for product sales made in prior periods resulting from changes in estimates were $116 million and $127 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. GTN adjustments are primarily a function of product sales volume, regional and payer channel mix, contractual or legislative discounts and rebates. U.S. GTN adjustments percentage decreased primarily due to the addition of Celgene hematology brands, which have lower U.S. GTN adjustment percentages, partially offset by higher U.S. Eliquis gross product sales, which have higher U.S. GTN adjustment percentages.

Estimated End-User Demand
Pursuant to the SEC Consent Order described in our 2019 Form 10-K, we monitor inventory levels on hand in the U.S. wholesaler distribution channel and outside of the U.S. in the direct customer distribution channel. We are obligated to disclose products with levels of inventory in excess of one month on hand or expected demand, subject to a de minimis exception. Estimated levels of inventory in the distribution channel in excess of one month on hand for the following products were not material to our results of operations as of the dates indicated. Below are international products that had estimated levels of inventory in the distribution channel in excess of one month on hand at March 31, 2020.
Perfalgan, an analgesic product, had 4.1 months of inventory on hand internationally at direct customers compared to 3.2 months of inventory on hand at December 31, 2019. The level of inventory on hand was primarily in Saudi Arabia and in the Gulf Countries due to inventory build to mitigate the risk of product supply disruption in these markets as a result of the sale of the Anagni manufacturing plant to Catalent.
In the U.S., we generally determine our months on hand estimates using inventory levels of product on hand and the amount of out-movement provided by our three largest wholesalers, which account for approximately 75% of total gross sales of U.S. products. Factors that may influence our estimates include generic competition, seasonality of products, wholesaler purchases in light of increases in wholesaler list prices, new product launches, new warehouse openings by wholesalers and new customer stockings by wholesalers. In addition, these estimates are calculated using third-party data, which may be impacted by their recordkeeping processes.
Revlimid and Pomalyst are distributed in the U.S. primarily through contracted pharmacies under the Revlimid REMS and Pomalyst REMS programs, respectively. These are proprietary risk-management distribution programs tailored specifically to provide for the safe and appropriate distribution and use of Revlimid and Pomalyst. Internationally, Revlimid and Imnovid are distributed under mandatory risk-management distribution programs tailored to meet local authorities’ specifications to provide for the products’ safe and appropriate distribution and use. These programs may vary by country and, depending upon the country and the design of the risk-management program, the product may be sold through hospitals or retail pharmacies.
40
Our non-U.S. businesses have significantly more direct customers. Information on available direct customer product level inventory and corresponding out-movement information and the reliability of third-party demand information varies widely. We limit our direct customer sales channel inventory reporting to where we can influence demand. When this information does not exist or is otherwise not available, we have developed a variety of methodologies to estimate such data, including using historical sales made to direct customers and third-party market research data related to prescription trends and end-user demand. Given the difficulties inherent in estimating third-party demand information, we evaluate our methodologies to estimate direct customer product level inventory and to calculate months on hand on an ongoing basis and make changes as necessary. Factors that may affect our estimates include generic competition, seasonality of products, price increases, new product launches, new warehouse openings by direct customers, new customer stockings by direct customers and expected direct customer purchases for governmental bidding situations. As such, all of the information required to estimate months on hand in the direct customer distribution channel for non-U.S. business for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 is not available prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We will disclose any product with levels of inventory in excess of one month on hand or expected demand for the current quarter, subject to a de minimis exception, in the next quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Cost of Products Sold
•Cost of products sold increased by $727 million in the second quarter 2020 and $2.6 billion year-to-date, primarily due to unwinding of inventory fair value adjustments ($714 million in the second quarter 2020 and $2.1 billion year-to-date), higher royalties and Eliquis profit sharing ($40 million in the second quarter 2020 and $417 million year-to-date) and Celgene product costs (approximately $100 million in the second quarter 2020 and $200 million year-to-date), partially offset by an impairment charge of $109 million for a manufacturing and packaging facility in the second quarter 2019.
Marketing, Selling and Administrative
•Marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased by $552 million in the second quarter 2020 and $1.2 billion year-to-date, primarily due to costs associated with the broader portfolio resulting from the Celgene acquisition (approximately $600 million in the second quarter 2020 and $1.2 billion year-to-date), partially offset by foreign exchange.
Research and Development
•Research and development expense increased by $1.2 billion in the second quarter 2020 and $2.2 billion year-to-date, primarily due to costs associated with the broader portfolio resulting from the Celgene acquisition (approximately $1.1 billion in the second quarter 2020 and $2.1 billion year-to-date, including a $200 million bluebird collaboration charge) and a $100 million Cormorant development milestone.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets
•Amortization of acquired intangible assets increased by $2.4 billion in the second quarter 2020 and $4.6 billion year-to-date, due to Revlimid, Pomalyst/Imnovid and other marketed product rights obtained in the Celgene acquisition.
Other (Income)/Expense, Net
•Other (income)/expense, net changed by $836 million in the second quarter 2020 and $588 million year-to-date, primarily due to higher interest, restructuring, integration expenses and fair value adjustments to equity investments and contingent value rights summarized below.

•Interest expense increased due to $19.0 billion of notes issued in May 2019 and $19.9 billion of Celgene debt assumed in the acquisition. Interest expense was partially offset in the second quarter 2020 by $41 million and year-to-date by $82 million due to amortization of purchase price adjustments attributed to Celgene's debt.
•Pension and postretirement includes the interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization components of the net periodic benefit cost (credit) as well as net charges for settlements, curtailments and special termination benefits of $93 million in 2019.
•Royalties and licensing income for the second quarter 2020 includes diabetes royalties ($129 million in 2020 and $161 million in 2019) and Keytruda* royalties ($155 million in 2020 and $121 million in 2019). Royalties and licensing income year-to-date includes diabetes royalties ($256 million in 2020 and $326 million in 2019), Keytruda* royalties ($316 million in 2020 and $241 million in 2019), regulatory milestones of $70 million and out-licensing income of $30 million in the first quarter 2020.
•Divestiture losses/(gains) includes a $12 million gain related to the termination of our U.S. and Puerto Rico partnership with Sanofi in the first quarter of 2020.
•Acquisition expenses include the following items related to the Celgene transaction in 2019: (1) upfront bridge facility commitment fee, (2) acquisition financing hedge losses and (3) financial advisory, legal, proxy filing and other regulatory fees.
•Contingent consideration primarily includes fair value adjustments resulting from the change in the traded price of contingent value rights issued with the Celgene acquisition. In the first quarter 2020 the traded price increased resulting in a charge of $585 million. Reduction of the traded price in the second quarter 2020 resulted in income of $163 million.
•Integration expenses include consulting fees incurred in connection with Celgene integration activities.
•Provision for restructuring includes exit and other costs related to the Celgene transaction. Refer to “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 6. Restructuring” for further information.
•Equity investment gains includes fair value adjustments resulting from significant financial market volatility primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including significant reduction of fair values in the first quarter 2020 ($226 million) and subsequent recovery in the second quarter 2020 ($635 million). Equity investments without readily determinable fair values were adjusted downward by $113 million in the first quarter 2020 based on a significant reduction in the biotech indices and upward by $183 million in the second quarter 2020 based on observable price changes. In the first quarter 2019, $80 million of income was related to the termination of our Europe and Asia partnership with Sanofi.
•Transition and other service fees primarily includes Otezla* divestiture related fees in 2020.
•Reversion excise tax resulted from the transfer of the retiree medical plan assets back to the Company. Refer to “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 16. Retirement Benefits” for further information.

Effective Tax Rate Excluding Specified Items | 13.8 | % | 18.5 | % | 14.9 | % | 16.6 | % |
The tax impact attributed to specified items was primarily due to non-deductible contingent value rights charges and low jurisdictional tax rates attributed to inventory and intangible asset purchase price adjustments in the current periods. The second quarter 2020 also includes an $853 million deferred tax charge resulting from an internal transfer of certain intangible assets to the U.S. and an additional $255 million GILTI tax charge upon finalization of the Otezla* divestiture tax consequences with tax authorities. The effective tax rate excluding specified items decreased by 4.7% in the second quarter 2020 and 1.7% year-to-date due to favorable earnings mix and the catch-up effect of changes to the estimated annual effective tax rate in the second quarter of both periods (rate decreases in 2020 and rate increases in 2019). The decrease in estimated annual effective tax rate in the second quarter 2020 resulted primarily from the internal transfer of certain intangible assets and less expected disallowance of foreign tax credits. Refer to “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 7. Income Taxes” for additional information on the tax impact of specified items.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP earnings and related EPS information, are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items that are evaluated on an individual basis. These items are adjusted after considering their quantitative and qualitative aspects and typically have one or more of the following characteristics, such as being highly variable, difficult to project, unusual in nature, significant to the results of a particular period or not indicative of future operating results. Similar charges or gains were recognized in prior periods and will likely reoccur in future periods including (1) amortization of acquired intangible assets beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, including product rights that generate a significant portion of our ongoing revenue and will recur until the intangible assets are fully amortized, (2) unwind of inventory fair value adjustments, (3) acquisition and integration expenses, (4) restructuring costs, (5) accelerated depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, (6) R&D charges or other income resulting from upfront or contingent milestone payments in connection with the acquisition or licensing of third-party intellectual property rights, (7) costs of acquiring a priority review voucher, (8) divestiture gains or losses, (9) stock compensation resulting from accelerated vesting of Celgene awards and certain retention-related employee compensation charges related to the Celgene transaction, (10) pension, legal and other contractual settlement charges, (11) interest expense on the notes issued in May 2019 incurred prior to our Celgene transaction and interest income earned on the net proceeds of those notes, (12) equity investment and contingent value rights fair value adjustments and (13) amortization of fair value adjustments of debt acquired from Celgene in our 2019 exchange offer, among other items. Deferred and current income taxes attributed to these items are also adjusted for considering their individual impact to the overall tax expense, deductibility and jurisdictional tax rates. Certain other significant tax items are also excluded such as the impact resulting from internal transfer of intangible assets and the Otezla* divestiture. We also provide international revenues for our priority products excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are included in Exhibit 99.2 to our Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2020 and are incorporated herein by reference.
Non-GAAP information is intended to portray the results of our baseline performance, supplement or enhance management, analysts and investors' overall understanding of our underlying financial performance and facilitate comparisons among current, past and future periods. For example, non-GAAP earnings and EPS information is an indication of our baseline performance before items that are considered by us to not be reflective of our ongoing results. In addition, this information is among the primary indicators that we use as a basis for evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets and planning and forecasting for future periods. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings or diluted EPS prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items being adjusted. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets were previously included in non-GAAP earnings and EPS information. These amounts have become significant to the financial results subsequent to the Celgene acquisition and as a result, have been excluded in the non-GAAP results to better reflect our core operating performance. Comparable prior period non-GAAP results have not been revised to include this adjustment as the related amounts were insignificant ($24 million and $48 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively).

We assess our anticipated working capital needs, debt and leverage levels, debt maturities, capital expenditure requirements, dividend payouts, potential share repurchases and future investments or acquisitions in order to maximize shareholder return, efficiently finance our ongoing operations and maintain flexibility for future strategic transactions. We also evaluate our capital structure to ensure financial risks are efficiently managed, adequate liquidity access and lower cost of capital, which may lead to the repurchase of common stock, debt securities and contingent value rights issued in connection with the Celgene transaction prior to maturity or the issuance of additional debt securities. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities together with cash generated from operations and, if required, from the issuance of commercial paper will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash needs for at least the next few years, including dividends, capital expenditures, milestone payments, working capital, restructuring initiatives, business development, deemed repatriation transition tax, approximately $9.5 billion of debt maturing through 2022 and contingent value right payments of approximately $6.8 billion in 2021.
During 2020, cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities increased by $6.0 billion to $22.2 billion primarily due to $8.2 billion cash provided by operating activities partially offset by $2.0 billion of dividend payments. Our long-term debt obligations due over the next five years of approximately $17.7 billion are expected to be funded by cash generated from operating activities and our ability to refinance debt. We continue to make capital expenditures in connection with our expansion of our manufacturing capabilities and other facility-related activities.
We have a share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors allowing for repurchases of our shares. The specific timing and number of shares repurchased will be determined by our management at its discretion and will vary based on market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares, does not have a specific expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The repurchases may be effected through a combination of one or more open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions and other derivative transactions, relying on Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The remaining share repurchase authority authorization under the program was $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2019. Our Board of Directors approved an increase of $5.0 billion to the share repurchase authorization for our common stock in February 2020, increasing the total outstanding share repurchase authorization to approximately $6.0 billion. We repurchased 1.4 million shares of our common stock for $81 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 reducing the remaining share repurchase capacity under the share repurchase program to approximately $5.9 billion as of June 30, 2020. In the second quarter of 2020, the ASR agreements that we executed in the fourth quarter of 2019 to repurchase an aggregate $7 billion of common stock were settled. Refer to “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 15. Equity” for additional information.
Dividend payments were $2.0 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Dividends declared per common share were $0.90 in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Annual capital expenditures were approximately $800 million in 2019 and are expected to be approximately $800 million in 2020 and $1.3 billion in 2021. Dividend decisions are made on a quarterly basis by our Board of Directors.
Under our commercial paper program, we may issue a maximum of $5.0 billion unsecured notes that have maturities of not more than 366 days from the date of issuance. There were no commercial paper borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2020.
As of June 30, 2020, we had four revolving credit facilities totaling $6.0 billion, which consisted of a 364-day $2.0 billion facility expiring in January 2021, a $1.0 billion facility expiring in January 2022 and two five-year $1.5 billion facilities that were extended to September 2023 and July 2024, respectively. The facilities provide for customary terms and conditions with no financial covenants and may be used to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings. Our $1.0 billion facility and our two $1.5 billion revolving facilities are extendable annually by one year on the anniversary date with the consent of the lenders. No borrowings were outstanding under revolving credit facilities at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Our investment portfolio includes non-current marketable debt securities, which are subject to changes in fair value as a result of interest rate fluctuations and other market factors. Our investment policy establishes limits on the amount and time to maturity of investments with any institution. The policy also requires that investments are only entered into with corporate and financial institutions that meet high credit quality standards. Refer to “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” for further information.
Credit Ratings
BMS's current long-term and short-term credit ratings assigned by Moody's Investors Service are A2 and Prime-1, respectively, with a negative long-term credit outlook, and BMS's current long-term and short-term credit ratings assigned by Standard & Poor's are A+ and A-1+, respectively. The long-term ratings reflect the agencies' opinion that we have a low default risk but are somewhat susceptible to adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions. The short-term ratings reflect the agencies' opinion that we have good to extremely strong capacity for timely repayment. Any credit rating downgrade may affect the interest rate of any debt we may incur, the fair market value of existing debt and our ability to access the capital markets generally.
Cash Flows
The following is a discussion of cash flow activities:

Cash flow provided by/(used in): | |||||||||||
Operating activities | $ | 8,163 | $ | 3,473 | |||||||
Investing activities | 1,433 | 1,775 | |||||||||
Financing activities | (2,047) | 16,239 |
Operating Activities
Cash flow from operating activities represents the cash receipts and disbursements from all of our activities other than investing and financing activities. Operating cash flow is derived by adjusting net earnings for noncontrolling interest, non-cash operating items, gains and losses attributed to investing and financing activities and changes in operating assets and liabilities resulting from timing differences between the receipts and payments of cash and when the transactions are recognized in our results of operations. As a result, changes in cash from operating activities reflect the timing of cash collections from customers and alliance partners; payments to suppliers, alliance partners and employees; customer discounts and rebates; and tax payments in the ordinary course of business. For example, annual employee bonuses are typically paid in the first quarter of the subsequent year. In addition, cash collections continue to be impacted by longer payment terms for certain biologic products in the U.S., primarily our newer oncology products including Opdivo, Yervoy and Empliciti (75 days in 2020 and 90 days in 2019). The longer payment terms are used to more closely align with the insurance reimbursement timing for physicians and cancer centers following administration to the patients.
The $4.7 billion change in cash flow from operating activities compared to 2019 was primarily attributable to higher cash collections and timing of payments in the ordinary course of business of approximately $5.0 billion (primarily relating to Celgene) and reversion of retirement medical plan assets of approximately $300 million (net of excise taxes), partially offset by higher restructuring, integration and collaboration payments of approximately $500 million in 2020.
Investing Activities
Cash requirements from investing activities include cash used for acquisitions, manufacturing and facility-related capital expenditures and purchases of marketable debt securities with original maturities greater than 90 days at the time of purchase reduced by proceeds from business divestitures (including royalties) and the sale and maturity of marketable debt securities.
The $342 million change in cash flow from investing activities compared to 2019 was primarily attributable to a change in the amount of marketable debt securities held, a contingent consideration payment to Cormorant in 2020 and proceeds from the sale of equity investment funds in 2019.
48
Financing Activities
Cash requirements from financing activities include cash used to pay dividends, repurchase common stock and repay long-term debt and other borrowings reduced by proceeds from the exercise of stock options and issuance of long-term debt and other borrowings.
The $18.3 billion change in cash flow from financing activities compared to 2019 was primarily due to lower net borrowing activity of $17.6 billion primarily resulting from the issuance of notes in 2019 to fund the acquisition of Celgene and higher dividend payments of approximately $700 million in 2020.
Product and Pipeline Developments
Our R&D programs are managed on a portfolio basis from early discovery through late-stage development and include a balance of early-stage and late-stage programs to support future growth. Our late stage R&D programs in Phase III development include both investigational compounds for initial indications and additional indications or formulations for marketed products. The following are the developments in our marketed products and our late-stage pipeline since the start of the second quarter:

This application was granted Priority Review Designation by the FDA, and Opdivo is the first approved immunotherapy in this setting regardless of tumor PD-L1 expression level. | ||||||||
Gastric Cancer | May 2020 | Ono, our alliance partner for Opdivo in Japan, announced the submission of a supplemental application for Opdivo to expand the use for the treatment of patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer who have not been previously treated, for a partial change in approved items of the manufacturing and marketing approval. | |||||||||
RCC | April 2020 | Announced with Exelixis, that CheckMate -9ER, a pivotal Phase III trial evaluating Opdivo in combination with Cabometyx* compared to sunitinib in previously untreated advanced or metastatic RCC, met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival at final analysis, as well as the secondary endpoints of overall survival at a pre-specified interim analysis, and objective response rate. |
Opdivo+Yervoy | MPM | April 2020 | Announced that CheckMate-743, a pivotal Phase III trial evaluating Opdivo in combination with Yervoy in previously untreated MPM met its primary endpoint of overall survival compared to chemotherapy (pemetrexed and cisplatin or carboplatin). | ||||||||
NSCLC | May 2020 | Announced FDA approval of Opdivo+Yervoy given with two cycles of platinum-doublet chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic or recurrent NSCLC with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations. The therapy is approved for patients with squamous or non-squamous disease and regardless of PD-L1 expression. | |||||||||
May 2020 | Announced FDA approval of Opdivo+Yervoy for the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic NSCLC whose tumors express PD-L1 (≥1%) as determined by an FDA-approved test, with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations. | ||||||||||
May 2020 | Announced the first presentation of results from the Phase III CheckMate-9LA trial, which demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful survival benefit with Opdivo+Yervoy, given concomitantly with two cycles of chemotherapy, for the first-line treatment of metastatic NSCLC. The study met both its primary and key secondary endpoints, demonstrating superior overall survival, progression-free survival and overall response rate for the dual immunotherapy plus chemotherapy combination versus chemotherapy alone. | ||||||||||
May 2020 | Announced three-year follow-up results from Part 1 of the Phase III CheckMate-227 trial in metastic NSCLC, demonstrating that Opdivo+Yervoy provided sustained improvements in overall survival and additional efficacy measures as a first-line treatment compared to chemotherapy among patients whose tumors expressed PD-L1 ≥1%. | ||||||||||
April 2020 | Announced that the EMA validated a type II variation application for Opdivo+Yervoy, combined with limited chemotherapy, for the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic or recurrent NSCLC with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations. |
Orencia | RA | June 2020 | Announced results from the open-label switch period of Early AMPLE, a Phase IV exploratory biomarker study assessing the differences by which Orencia and adalimumab interfere with disease progression in moderate-to-severe early RA patients seropositive for certain autoantibodies. Early seropositive RA patients treated with Orencia demonstrated substantial clinical improvements at week 48, sustaining the level of responses achieved at week 24 compared to adalimumab. In seropositive patients switching from adalimumab to Orencia, the efficacy responses generally increased over the open-label period to week 48. |
Pomalyst | Kaposi sarcoma | May 2020 | Announced FDA approval of Pomalyst for patients with AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma whose disease has become resistant to highly active antiretroviral therapy, or in patients with Kaposi sarcoma who are HIV-negative. Pomalyst was granted accelerated approval, Breakthrough Therapy designation and Orphan Drug designation in these indications. |

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Our critical accounting policies are those that significantly impact our 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. Because of this uncertainty, actual results may vary from these estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, refer to “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2019 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2020. For information regarding the impact of recently adopted accounting standards, refer to “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note.1 Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards.”
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including documents incorporated by reference) and other written and oral statements we make from time to time contain certain “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the fact they use words such as “should,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “target,” “may,” “project,” “guidance,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. One can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such forward-looking statements are based on historical performance and current expectations and projections about our future financial results, goals, plans and objectives and involve inherent risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including internal or external factors that could delay, divert or change any of them in the next several years, and could cause our future financial results, goals, plans and objectives to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the statements. These statements are likely to relate to, among other things, our goals, plans and objectives regarding our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, market position, product development, product approvals, sales efforts, expenses, performance or results of current and anticipated products, our business development strategy generally and in relation to our ability to realize the projected benefits of our acquisition of Celgene and to successfully integrate ours and Celgene's businesses and operations, the full extent of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and the development and commercialization of our products, the expiration of patents or data protection on certain products, including assumptions about our ability to retain patent exclusivity of certain products and the impact, and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and financial results. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. We included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in the 2019 Form 10-K, particularly under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and in our other filings with the SEC additional information on the factors that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.
Although we believe that we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions, no assurance can be given that any goal or plan set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date made. Additional risks that we may currently deem immaterial or that are not presently known to us could also cause the forward-looking events discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q not to occur. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of our market risk, refer to “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our 2019 Form 10-K.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of June 30, 2020, such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Information pertaining to legal proceedings can be found in “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 18. Legal Proceedings and Contingencies,” to the interim consolidated financial statements, and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, except as described below.
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting our business and could have a material adverse effect on us.
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting how we operate our business. We currently assume that the peak impact of the COVID-19 crisis on our business occurred in the second quarter of 2020, with recovery beginning in the third quarter of 2020 and minimal impact in the fourth quarter of 2020 and beyond. If the negative impact from the COVID-19 pandemic extends beyond our assumed timelines, our results may be worse than expected. The full extent of the impact will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and the severity of the spread of COVID-19 in the U.S. and globally, the effectiveness of federal, state, local and foreign governments’ mitigation actions, the pandemic’s impact on the U.S. and global economies, as well as factors affecting healthcare and the delivery of medicines to patients, including but not limited to those discussed above under "Part I—Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—COVID-19 and Market Factors", and how quickly we can return to more normal operations, among other things.
Although we currently do not anticipate any disruption to the supply of our medicines to patients, it is possible that we could experience manufacturing or supply issues due to COVID-19 in the future, which would increase the negative impact on our business and results of operations. In addition, if a natural disaster or other potentially disruptive event occurs on top of the current pandemic, it could deplete our safety stock levels and we could experience a manufacturing, supply or distribution issue.
We have started to re-engage in-person interactions by our customer-facing (field) personnel in health care settings in the U.S. and a number of other markets. If we determine that it is no longer safe to engage in these in-person interactions, we will likely return to a remote model of engagement. This transition could have a negative impact on our business. It is also possible that there could be a longer-lasting shift in interactions between field personnel and health care professionals that we have not anticipated, which could have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.
Although we have restarted clinical development activities, we continue to experience delays in the initiation and enrollment of patients in our clinical trials. We may not be able to fully mitigate these delays, which could negatively impact the timing of our pipeline development programs and expected future revenues and/or cash flows. In addition, we could experience additional delays or difficulties enrolling patients in clinical trials and/or delays or difficulties with our ongoing, fully enrolled clinical trials, which could further negatively impact the timing of our pipeline development programs and expected future revenues and/or cash flows. A prolonged clinical trial delay could potentially have a significant negative effect on our business, particularly if new competitive products enter the market or clinical trial results for our competitors’ products affect the value proposition for our product. Any such delays or difficulties in clinical development could also potentially lead to a material impairment of our intangible assets, including the approximately $64 billion of intangible assets we obtained through the Celgene transaction. In addition, although research and early development activities performed in laboratories have resumed, they were suspended for a period of time, which negatively impacted the advancement of early pipeline assets. We have plans to mitigate this impact, but if we are not be able to fully mitigate it, the breadth of our future pipeline opportunities could be adversely affected.
We cannot predict or reasonably estimate the impact of any potential long-term changes to the healthcare industry from COVID-19. For example, there is potential for a shift in the U.S. payer channel mix due to changes in patient coverage from the current economic crisis, but we are not able to reliably estimate what the impact would be on our results of operations given the highly variable and uncertain situation. It is also possible that changes in the healthcare system could impose additional burdens on clinical trials, which could increase the costs of sponsoring clinical trials or lead to additional delays or difficulties with completing clinical trials. We may also experience additional pricing pressures and/or increased governmental regulation.
We could face additional risk from the impact of COVID-19 on our suppliers, vendors, outsourcing partners, alliance partners and other third parties that we rely on to research, develop, manufacture, commercialize, co-promote and sell our products, manage certain marketing, selling, human resource, finance, IT and other business unit and functional services. For example, if any of our third-party providers suffer from limited solvency because of the pandemic, it could negatively impact our operating model and our business. It is not possible to estimate the potential impact at this time.
52
The strengthening U.S. dollar has a negative impact on our International revenues as translated to U.S. dollars, and lower interest rates are reducing our interest income. Stock market declines are also negatively impacting the value of our equity investments. If the U.S. dollar continues to strengthen, interest rates continue to decline, and/or stock markets continue to decline, we could see a further reduction in revenues or other income or additional charges to our equity investments, which could have a negative impact on our earnings and cash flows.
We are facing and could continue to face potential other negative consequences stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to increased cyber threats such as phishing, social engineering and malware attacks, delays in planned integration milestones and ability to collect our receivables. It is possible that COVID-19 could exacerbate any of the other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as well.
At this time, we cannot predict the full extent of the negative impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.
It is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic could delay the timing of the FDA’s approval decisions for liso-cel and ide-cel, which could have a material adverse effect on our contingent value rights (CVRs).
We have submitted BLAs for liso-cel and ide-cel, the two remaining assets underlying our CVRs (the third CVR asset, Zeposia (ozanimod), was approved earlier this year). These applications are under review by the FDA. Liso-cel has a PDUFA date of November 16, 2020. We do not yet have a PDUFA date for ide-cel, but we continue to expect an approval decision by March 31, 2021, which is the time period specified within the CVR Agreement. It is possible that COVID-19 could impact FDA operations, including the ability for the FDA to conduct on-site inspections, such that the review of either or both of these CVR assets could be delayed. Any delay in the timing of approval could reduce the resale price of the CVRs. If there is a significant delay that extends the FDA’s review period beyond December 31, 2020 for liso-cel or March 31, 2021 for ide-cel, then no payment will be made under the CVRs and the CVRs will expire without value.
U.S. executive orders on biopharmaceutical pricing and other potential initiatives by the U.S. federal government to implement measures to regulate drug pricing in the future could adversely affect our business.
In July the U.S. federal government issued four executive orders regarding U.S. drug pricing, which have the potential to significantly impact our ability to discover, develop and deliver medicines for patients across the globe.
While we are unable to predict how or when the executive orders might ultimately be enacted and implemented, the orders, if implemented, would adversely affect our business and results of operations. Even if the executive orders are not finalized in their current form, the U.S. federal government could introduce initiatives similar to the executive orders as well as other initiatives to manage drug utilization and contain costs. Such initiatives could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, particularly to extent the initiatives are not offset by greater demand, increased patient access to health care or other items. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Increased pricing pressure and other restrictions in the U.S. and abroad from MCOs, institutional purchasers and government agencies and programs, among others, continue to negatively affect our revenues and profit margins” in our 2019 Form 10-K for more information on the impact on the Company of increasing pricing pressures from market access, pharmaceutical pricing controls and discounting and other restrictions in the United States, the European Union and other regions around the world.
