Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements.  However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been made.  It is suggested that these statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in Abbott’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions.

 

Note 2 — Separation of AbbVie Inc.

 

On January 1, 2013, Abbott completed the separation of AbbVie Inc. (AbbVie), which was formed to hold Abbott’s research-based proprietary pharmaceuticals business. Abbott and AbbVie entered into transitional services agreements prior to the separation pursuant to which Abbott and AbbVie are providing to each other, on an interim transitional basis, various services.  Transition services may be provided for up to 24 months with an option for a one-year extension by the recipient.  Services being provided by Abbott include certain information technology and back office support.  Billings by Abbott under these transitional services agreements are recorded as a reduction of the costs to provide the respective service in the applicable expense category in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.  This transitional support will enable AbbVie to establish its stand-alone processes for various activities that were previously provided by Abbott and does not constitute significant continuing support of AbbVie’s operations.

 

For a small portion of AbbVie’s operations, the legal transfer of AbbVie’s assets (net of liabilities) did not occur with the separation of AbbVie on January 1, 2013, in certain countries,  due to the time required to transfer marketing authorizations and other regulatory requirements in each of these countries.  Under the terms of the separation agreement with Abbott, AbbVie is subject to the risks and entitled to the benefits generated by these operations and assets.  The majority of these operations were transferred to AbbVie in 2013 with the remainder expected to be transferred in 2014 or 2015.  These assets and liabilities have been presented as held for disposition in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  At June 30, 2014, the assets and liabilities held for disposition consist of trade accounts receivable of $137 million, inventories of $89 million, equipment of $16 million, other assets of $62 million, trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $242 million and other liabilities of $1 million. Abbott’s obligation to transfer the net assets held for disposition to AbbVie of $61 million is included in Other accrued liabilities.

 

Abbott has retained all liabilities for all U.S. federal and foreign income taxes on income prior to the separation, as well as certain non-income taxes attributable to AbbVie’s business.  AbbVie generally will be liable for all other taxes attributable to its business.

 

Earnings from discontinued operations in the second quarter and first six months of 2014 reflect the recognition of $6 million and $42 million, respectively, of net tax benefits primarily as a result of the resolution of various tax positions related to AbbVie’s operations for years prior to the separation.

 

Note 3 — Supplemental Financial Information

 

Shares of unvested restricted stock that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are treated as participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method.  Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities. Earnings from Continuing Operations allocated to common shares for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $458 million and $473 million, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $795 million and $1.013 billion, respectively.  Net earnings allocated to common shares for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $463 million and $473 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $837 million and $1.013 billion, respectively.

 

Other, net use of cash in Net cash from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the first six months of 2014 and 2013 includes the effects of contributions to defined benefit plans of $330 million and $320 million, respectively, and to the post-employment medical and dental benefit plans of $40 million in each six month period, as well as the non-cash impact

Note 5 — Business Acquisitions

 

In August 2013, Abbott acquired 100 percent of IDEV Technologies, net of debt, for $310 million, in cash. The acquisition of IDEV Technologies expands Abbott’s endovascular portfolio. The final allocation of the fair value at the date of acquisition resulted in non-deductible acquired in-process research and development of approximately $170 million which is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until regulatory approval or discontinuation; non-deductible definite-lived intangible assets of approximately $66 million; non-deductible goodwill of approximately $112 million; and net deferred tax liabilities of $47 million. Acquired intangible assets consist of developed technology and are being amortized over 11 years.

 

In August 2013, Abbott acquired 100 percent of OptiMedica for $260 million, in cash, plus additional payments up to $150 million to be made upon completion of certain development, regulatory and sales milestones. The acquisition of OptiMedica provides Abbott with an immediate entry point into the laser assisted cataract surgery market.  The final allocation of the fair value at the date of acquisition resulted in non-deductible definite-lived intangible assets of approximately $160 million; non-deductible acquired in-process research and development of approximately $60 million which is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until regulatory approval or discontinuation; non-deductible goodwill of approximately $130 million; net deferred tax liabilities of $49 million; and contingent consideration of approximately $70 million.  The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on an independent appraisal. Acquired intangible assets consist of developed technology and are being amortized over 18 years.

 

Note 6 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

The total amount of goodwill reported was $9.751 billion at June 30, 2014 and $9.772 billion at December 31, 2013. In the six months ended June 30, 2014, foreign currency translation adjustments increased goodwill by approximately $5 million, while purchase price allocation adjustments associated with recent acquisitions decreased goodwill by approximately $26 million.  The amount of goodwill related to reportable segments at June 30, 2014 was $3.0 billion for the Established Pharmaceutical Products segment, $286 million for the Nutritional Products segment, $444 million for the Diagnostic Products segment, and $3.1 billion for the Vascular Products segment.  There was no reduction of goodwill relating to impairments.

 

The gross amount of amortizable intangible assets, primarily product rights and technology was $12.3 billion as of June 30, 2014 and $12.2 billion as of December 31, 2013, and accumulated amortization was $7.0 billion as of June 30, 2014 and $6.8 billion as of December 31, 2013.  Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which relate to in-process research and development acquired in a business combination, was approximately $114 million at June 30, 2014 and $266 million at December 31, 2013. The change reflects the movement of an IDEV-related intangible asset, Supera, to amortizable assets due to the receipt of regulatory approval in the first quarter of 2014.  Abbott’s estimated annual amortization expense for intangible assets is approximately $655 million in 2014, $615 million in 2015, $590 million in 2016, $575 million in 2017 and $500 million in 2018.  Amortizable intangible assets are amortized over 2 to 20 years (weighted average 11 years).

 

Note 7 — Restructuring Plans

 

In the first six months of 2014, Abbott management approved plans to streamline various operations in order to reduce costs and improve efficiencies in Abbott’s vascular, diagnostics and nutritional businesses. Abbott recorded employee related severance and other charges of approximately $80 million in 2014. Approximately $17 million is recognized in Cost of products sold, $41 million is recognized in Research and development and approximately $22 million is recognized in Selling, general and administrative expense.  The following summarizes the activity for these restructurings:

In 2014 and 2013, Abbott management approved plans to reduce costs and improve efficiencies across various functional areas. In 2013, Abbott management also approved plans to streamline certain manufacturing operations in order to reduce costs and improve efficiencies in Abbott’s established pharmaceuticals business. In 2012, Abbott management approved plans to streamline various commercial operations in order to reduce costs and improve efficiencies in Abbott’s core diagnostics, established pharmaceuticals and nutritionals businesses. Additional charges of approximately $76 million were recognized in 2014 of which approximately $2 million is recorded in Cost of products sold and approximately $74 million in Selling, general and administrative expense.

Note 9 — Financial Instruments, Derivatives and Fair Value Measures

 

Certain Abbott foreign subsidiaries enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage exposures to changes in foreign exchange rates for anticipated intercompany purchases by those subsidiaries whose functional currencies are not the U.S. dollar.  These contracts, with notional amounts totaling approximately $140 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, are designated as cash flow hedges of the variability of the cash flows due to changes in foreign exchange rates and are recorded at fair value.   Accumulated gains and losses as of June 30, 2014 will be included in Cost of products sold at the time the products are sold, generally through the next twelve months.  The amount of hedge ineffectiveness was not significant in 2014 and 2013.

 

Abbott enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage currency exposures for foreign currency denominated third-party trade payables and receivables, and for intercompany loans and trade accounts payable where the receivable or payable is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity.  For intercompany loans, the contracts require Abbott to

 

10



Table of Contents

 

sell or buy foreign currencies, primarily European currencies and Japanese yen, in exchange for primarily U.S. dollars and other European currencies.  For intercompany and trade payables and receivables, the currency exposures are primarily the U.S. dollar, European currencies and Japanese yen.  At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Abbott held $13.1 billion and $13.8 billion, respectively, of such foreign currency forward exchange contracts.

 

Abbott has designated foreign denominated short-term debt as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign subsidiary of approximately $523 million and approximately $505 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Accordingly, changes in the reported value of this debt due to changes in exchange rates are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

 

Abbott is a party to interest rate swap contracts totaling approximately $1.5 billion at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 to manage its exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate debt.   These contracts are designated as fair value hedges of the variability of the fair value of fixed-rate debt due to changes in the long-term benchmark interest rates.  The effect of the hedge is to change a fixed-rate interest obligation to a variable rate for that portion of the debt.  Abbott records the contracts at fair value and adjusts the carrying amount of the fixed-rate debt by an offsetting amount.  No hedge ineffectiveness was recorded in income in 2014 or 2013 for these hedges.

The fair value of the debt was determined based on the face value of the debt adjusted for the fair value of the interest rate swaps, which is based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts is determined using a market approach, which utilizes values for comparable derivative instruments.  The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on an independent appraisal adjusted for the time value of money, exchange, payments and other changes in fair value. The change in contingent consideration from the previous year end primarily reflects the payment of contingent consideration in the first six months of 2014.

 

Note 10 — Litigation and Environmental Matters

 

Abbott has been identified as a potentially responsible party for investigation and cleanup costs at a number of locations in the United States and Puerto Rico under federal and state remediation laws and is investigating potential contamination at a number of company-owned locations. Abbott has recorded an estimated cleanup cost for each site for which management believes Abbott has a probable loss exposure. No individual site cleanup exposure is expected to exceed $4 million, and the aggregate cleanup exposure is not expected to exceed $15 million.

 

Abbott is involved in various claims and legal proceedings, and Abbott estimates the range of possible loss for its legal proceedings and environmental exposures to be from approximately $65 million to $90 million. The recorded accrual balance at June 30, 2014 for these proceedings and exposures was approximately $75 million. This accrual represents management’s best estimate of probable loss, as defined by FASB ASC No. 450, “Contingencies.” Within the next year, legal proceedings may occur that may result in a change in the estimated loss accrued by Abbott. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of all such proceedings and exposures with certainty, management believes that their ultimate disposition should not have a material adverse effect on Abbott’s financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

Abbott funds its domestic defined benefit plans according to IRS funding limitations.  International pension plans are funded according to similar regulations.  In the first six months of 2014 and 2013, $330 million and $320 million, respectively, were contributed to defined benefit plans and $40 million was contributed to the post-employment medical and dental benefit plans in the first six months of each fiscal year.

 

Note 12 — Taxes on Earnings

 

Taxes on earnings from continuing operations reflect the estimated annual effective rates and include charges for interest and penalties.  In the first six months of 2014, taxes on earnings from continuing operations reflect the recognition of $58 million of net tax benefits as the result of the favorable resolution of various tax positions pertaining to prior years. Earnings from Discontinued Operations, net of tax, in the first six months of 2014 reflects the recognition of $42 million of net tax benefits primarily as a result of the resolution of various tax positions related to AbbVie’s operations for years prior to the separation. The conclusion of these tax matters decreased the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $134 million. As a result of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 signed into law in January 2013, Abbott recorded a tax benefit to taxes on continuing operations of approximately $103 million in the first six months of 2013 for the retroactive extension of the research tax credit and the look-through rules of section 954(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code to the beginning of 2012.

 

Tax authorities in various jurisdictions regularly review Abbott’s income tax filings.  Abbott believes that it is reasonably possible that the recorded amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $350 million, including cash adjustments, within the next twelve months as a result of concluding various domestic and international tax matters.

 

Note 13 — Segment Information

 

Abbott’s principal business is the discovery, development, manufacture and sale of a broad line of health care products.  Abbott’s products are generally sold directly to retailers, wholesalers, hospitals, health care facilities, laboratories, physicians’ offices and government agencies throughout the world.  Abbott’s reportable segments are as follows:

(a)         Approximately 40 to 45 percent of the annual net cost of share-based awards will typically be recognized in the first quarter due to the timing of the granting of share-based awards.

(b)         The increase in expense from 2013 to 2014 primarily reflects higher charges for cost reduction initiatives.

 

Note 14 — Subsequent Event

 

On July 14, 2014, Abbott announced that it will sell its developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business to Mylan for equity ownership of a newly formed entity that will combine Mylan’s existing business and Abbott’s developed markets pharmaceuticals business, and will be publicly traded. This represents a value of approximately $5.3 billion based on Mylan’s closing stock price on July 11, 2014. Abbott’s developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business generated approximately $2 billion in sales in 2013. Abbott will retain its branded generics pharmaceuticals business in emerging markets. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015. Abbott expects to report the results of its developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business as discontinued operations beginning in the third quarter of 2014.

The net sales growth for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 was negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  The relatively stronger U.S. dollar decreased total international sales by 1.5 percent for the quarter and 2.8 percent for the first six months of 2014. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, total net sales increased 3.0 percent in the quarter and 1.8 percent for the first six months, driven by higher sales across all business segments due primarily to unit volume growth. The growth in diagnostic products reflects continued momentum in core laboratory diagnostics in both developed and emerging markets. Year-over-year changes in nutritional product sales continue to be negatively impacted in the quarter and year-to-date period by a previously reported supplier recall in certain international markets in August 2013.
