Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2015
(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 Abbotts Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions.
Note 2 Discontinued Operations
On February 27, 2015, Abbott completed the sale of its developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business to Mylan Inc. (Mylan) for 110 million shares (or approximately 22%) of a newly formed entity (Mylan N.V.) that combined Mylans existing business and Abbotts developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business. Mylan N.V. is publicly traded. Historically, this business was included in Abbotts Established Pharmaceutical Products segment. Abbott retained its branded generics pharmaceuticals business in emerging markets. At the date of closing, the 110 million Mylan N.V. shares that Abbott received were valued at $5.77 billion and Abbott recorded an after-tax gain on the sale of the business of approximately $1.6 billion. The shareholder agreement with Mylan N.V. includes voting and other restrictions that prevent Abbott from exercising significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Mylan N.V.
At the close of this transaction, Abbott and Mylan entered into transition services agreements pursuant to which Abbott and Mylan are providing various back office support services to each other on an interim transitional basis. Transition services may be provided for up to 2 years. Charges by Abbott under these transition 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 transition support does not constitute significant continuing involvement in Mylans operations. Abbott also entered into manufacturing supply agreements with Mylan related to certain products, with the supply term ranging from 3 to 10 years and requiring a 2 year notice prior to termination. The cash flows associated with these transition service and manufacturing supply agreements are not expected to be significant and therefore, these cash flows are not direct cash flows of the disposed component under Accounting Standards Codification 205.
In April 2015, Abbott sold 40.3 million of the 110 million ordinary shares of Mylan N.V. received in the sale of the developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business to Mylan. In the first nine months of 2015, Abbott recorded a pretax gain of $207 million on $2.29 billion in net proceeds from the sale of these shares. The gain is recognized in the Other (income) expense line of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The proceeds from the sale were invested in short-term investments.
On February 10, 2015, Abbott completed the sale of its animal health business to Zoetis Inc. Abbott received cash proceeds of $230 million and reported an after tax gain on the sale of approximately $130 million.
As a result of the disposition of the above businesses, the current and prior year operating results of these businesses up to the date of sale are reported as part of discontinued operations on the Earnings from Discontinued Operations, net of tax line in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Discontinued operations include an allocation of interest expense assuming a uniform ratio of consolidated debt to equity for all of Abbotts historical operations.
On January 1, 2013, Abbott completed the separation of AbbVie Inc. (AbbVie), which was formed to hold Abbotts research-based proprietary pharmaceuticals business. For a small portion of AbbVies operations, the legal transfer of AbbVies assets (net of liabilities) did not occur with the separation of AbbVie on January 1, 2013 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 and 2014. These assets and liabilities have been presented as held for disposition in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Abbott has recorded a prepaid asset of $216 million for its obligation to transfer these net liabilities held for disposition to AbbVie.
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 AbbVies business prior to the separation. AbbVie generally will be liable for all other taxes attributable to its business. Earnings from discontinued operations in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014 reflect the recognition of $10 million of tax expense and $37 million of tax benefit, respectively, primarily as a result of the resolution of various tax positions related to AbbVies operations for years prior to the separation. The following table summarizes the components of discontinued operations:

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 September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $593 million and $437 million, respectively and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $1.902 billion and $1.083 billion, respectively. Net earnings allocated to common shares for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $577 million and $536 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $3.638 billion and $1.373 billion, respectively.
Other (income) expense, net in the first nine months of 2015 primarily relates to a $207 million gain on the sale of a portion of Abbotts position in Mylan N.V. stock and $79 million of income resulting from a decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration related to a business acquisition. In the first nine months of 2015, Abbott sold 40.3 million of the 110 million ordinary shares of Mylan N.V. received in the sale of the developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business to Mylan. Abbott received $2.29 billion in net proceeds from the sale of these shares. As a result of this sale, Abbotts ownership interest in Mylan N.V. decreased from approximately 22% to approximately 14%.
Other, net in Net cash from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the first nine months of 2015 and 2014 includes the effects of contributions to defined benefit plans of $551 million and $350 million, respectively, and to the post-employment medical and dental benefit plans of $24 million and $40 million in the nine month periods of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The first nine months of 2015 also includes the non-cash impact of approximately $1.1 billion of tax expense associated with the gain on the sale of businesses. The first nine months of 2014 includes approximately $165 million of cash refunded by taxing authorities, resulting from the resolution of various tax positions pertaining to prior years; and the timing of cash taxes.
The components of short-term and long-term investments as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows:

Reclassified amounts for foreign currency translation are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings as Net foreign exchange loss (gain); gains on marketable equity securities as Other (income) expense, net and cash flow hedges as Cost of products sold. Net actuarial losses and prior service cost are included as a component of net periodic benefit plan costs; see Note 11 for additional details.
Note 5 Business Acquisitions
In September 2014, Abbott completed the acquisition of the controlling interest in CFR Pharmaceuticals S.A. (CFR) for approximately $2.9 billion in cash ($2.8 billion net of CFR cash on hand at closing). Including the assumption of approximately $570 million of debt, the total cost of the acquisition was $3.4 billion. The acquisition of CFR more than doubles Abbotts branded generics pharmaceutical presence in Latin America and further expands its presence in emerging markets. CFRs financial results are included in Abbotts financial statements beginning on September 26, 2014, the date that Abbott acquired control of this business. Abbott currently owns 99.9% of the outstanding ordinary shares of CFR. The fair value of the non-controlling interest at the acquisition date was approximately $3 million. The acquisition was funded with cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The final allocation of the fair value of the acquisition is shown in the table below.

Acquired intangible assets consist primarily of product rights for currently marketed products and are amortized over 12 to 16 years (weighted average of 15 years). The goodwill is primarily attributable to intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill is identifiable to the Established Pharmaceutical Products segment. The acquired tangible assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $94 million, trade accounts receivable of approximately $180 million, inventory of approximately $169 million, other current assets of approximately $51 million, property and equipment of approximately $210 million, and other long-term assets of approximately $145 million. Assumed liabilities consist of borrowings of approximately $570 million, trade accounts payable and other current liabilities of approximately $240 million and other noncurrent liabilities of approximately $14 million.
Annualized net sales for CFR Pharmaceuticals are expected to total approximately $750 million at current exchange rates. Had the acquisition of CFR Pharmaceuticals taken place on January 1, 2013, the consolidated net sales and earnings of Abbott would not have been significantly different from the reported amounts.
In December 2014, Abbott acquired control of Veropharm, a leading Russian pharmaceutical company for approximately $315 million, excluding assumed debt, plus a subsequent $5 million payment related to a working capital adjustment. Through this acquisition, Abbott establishes a manufacturing footprint in Russia and obtains a portfolio of medicines that is well aligned with Abbotts current pharmaceutical therapeutic areas of focus. Abbott acquired control of Veropharm through its purchase of Limited Liability Company Garden Hills, the holding company that owns approximately 98 percent of Veropharm. Including the assumption of approximately $90 million of debt and a non-controlling interest with a fair value of $5 million, the total value of the acquired business was approximately $415 million. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the acquisition resulted in definite-lived non-deductible intangible assets of approximately $105 million, non-deductible goodwill of approximately $110 million, and net deferred tax liabilities of approximately $25 million. Non-deductible goodwill is identifiable with the Established Pharmaceutical Products segment. Additionally, Abbott acquired property, plant, and equipment of approximately $165 million, accounts receivable of approximately $45 million, inventory of approximately $25 million, and net other liabilities of approximately $10 million. Acquired intangible assets consist of developed technology and are being amortized over 16 years. In 2015, Abbott acquired the remaining shares of Veropharm, increasing its ownership to 100 percent.
In December 2014, Abbott completed the acquisition of Topera, Inc. for approximately $250 million in cash plus additional payments up to $300 million to be made upon completion of certain regulatory and sales milestones. The acquisition of Topera provides Abbott a foundational entry in the electrophysiology market. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the acquisition resulted in non-deductible acquired in-process research and development of approximately $20 million, which is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until regulatory approval or discontinuation, non-deductible definite-lived intangible assets of approximately $325 million, non-deductible goodwill of approximately $105 million, net deferred tax liabilities of approximately $105 million, and contingent consideration of approximately $95 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on an independent appraisal. Acquired intangible assets consist of developed technology and trademarks, and are being amortized over 16 years.
In August 2015, Abbott completed the acquisition of the equity of Tendyne Holdings, Inc. that Abbott did not already own for approximately $225 million in cash plus additional payments up to $135 million to be made upon completion of certain regulatory milestones. The acquisition of Tendyne, which is focused on developing minimally invasive mitral valve replacement therapies, allows Abbott to broaden its foundation in the treatment of mitral valve disease. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the acquisition resulted in non-deductible acquired in-process research and development of approximately $240 million, which is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until regulatory approval or discontinuation, non-deductible goodwill of approximately $155 million, net deferred tax liabilities of approximately $90 million, and contingent consideration of approximately $80 million.
The preliminary allocations of fair value will be finalized when valuations are completed. Had the aggregate of the above acquisitions taken place as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period for each acquisition, consolidated net sales and earnings would not have been significantly different from reported amounts.
Note 6 Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The total amount of goodwill reported was $9.750 billion at September 30, 2015 and $10.067 billion at December 31, 2014, which excluded goodwill classified as held for disposition. As part of the disposal of the developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business in the first nine months of 2015, $894 million of goodwill was included as part of the net assets sold. In the first nine months of 2015, foreign currency translation adjustments decreased goodwill by approximately $273 million, while purchase price allocation adjustments associated with recent acquisitions decreased goodwill by approximately $44 million. The amount of goodwill related to reportable segments at September 30, 2015 was $3.0 billion for the Established Pharmaceutical Products segment,
$286 million for the Nutritional Products segment, $449 million for the Diagnostic Products segment, and $3.0 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 $10.8 billion as of September 30, 2015 and $11.0 billion as of December 31, 2014, and accumulated amortization was $5.3 billion as of September 30, 2015 and $4.9 billion as of December 31, 2014. The December 31, 2014 amounts exclude the intangibles that were classified as held for disposition. Intangibles of $738 million were included in the net assets transferred as part of the disposal of the developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business in the first nine months of 2015. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which relate to in-process research and development acquired in a business combination, was approximately $377 million at September 30, 2015 and $134 million at December 31, 2014. Abbotts estimated annual amortization expense for intangible assets is approximately $680 million in 2015, $660 million in 2016, $650 million in 2017, $570 million in 2018 and $530 million in 2019. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized over 2 to 20 years (weighted average 12 years).
Note 7 Restructuring Plans
In 2015 and 2014, Abbott management approved plans to streamline operations in order to reduce costs and improve efficiencies in various Abbott businesses including the nutritional, established pharmaceuticals and vascular businesses. In the first nine months of 2015, charges of approximately $80 million were recognized, of which approximately $25 million is recorded in Cost of products sold, approximately $38 million is recorded in Research and Development and approximately $17 million is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense. Additional charges of approximately $34 million were recorded primarily for accelerated depreciation. The following summarizes the activity for the first nine months of 2015 related to these restructuring actions and the status of the related accrual as of September 30, 2015:

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 $2.5 billion at September 30, 2015 and $1.5 billion at December 31, 2014 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 September 30, 2015 will be included in Cost of products sold at the time the products are sold, generally through the next twelve to eighteen months. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness was not significant in 2015 and 2014.
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 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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Abbott held $13.2 billion and $14.1 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 $442 million and approximately $445 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 hedge contracts totaling approximately $4.0 billion at September 30, 2015 and $1.5 billion at December 31, 2014 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 2015 or 2014 for these hedges.

The interest rate swaps 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 hedged debt is marked to market, offsetting the effect of marking the interest rate swaps to market.
The carrying values and fair values of certain financial instruments as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are shown in the following table. The carrying values of all other financial instruments approximate their estimated fair values. The counterparties to financial instruments consist of select major international financial institutions. Abbott does not expect any losses from nonperformance by these counterparties.

Equity securities are principally comprised of Mylan N.V. ordinary shares. The fair value of the Mylan N.V. equity securities was determined based on the value of the publicly-traded ordinary shares. The fair value of 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 and other changes in fair value primarily resulting from changes in regulatory timelines.

Available-for-sale securities are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment losses. Almost all of the unrealized losses relate to the holding of Mylan N.V. ordinary shares, which have been in an unrealized loss position for less than three months at September 30, 2015. Factors considered in assessing other-than-temporary impairment losses include the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, Abbotts intent and ability to retain the securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in fair value, overall market conditions, and industry and company specific factors. Based on that evaluation and Abbotts ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value, Abbott does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2015.
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 $50 million to $65 million. The recorded accrual balance at September 30, 2015 for these proceedings and exposures was approximately $60 million. This accrual represents managements 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 Abbotts financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
Note 11 Post-Employment Benefits
Retirement plans consist of defined benefit, defined contribution, and medical and dental plans. Net cost recognized in continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30 for Abbotts major defined benefit plans and post-employment medical and dental benefit plans is as follows:

Abbott funds its domestic defined benefit plans according to IRS funding limitations. International pension plans are funded according to similar regulations. In the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, $551 million and $350 million, respectively, were contributed to defined benefit plans and $24 million and $40 million were contributed to the post-employment medical and dental benefit plans in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively.
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 nine months of 2015, taxes on earnings from continuing operations include a tax cost of $71 million related to the disposal of shares of Mylan N.V. stock. Taxes on earnings from continuing operations were not affected by any adjustments as a result of the resolution of various tax positions pertaining to prior years. Tax expense related to discontinued operations includes $667 million of tax expense on certain current-year funds earned outside the U.S. that were not designated as permanently reinvested overseas. Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the first nine months of 2015 also reflects the recognition of $10 million of net tax expense primarily as a result of the resolution of various tax positions related to AbbVies operations for years prior to the separation. The conclusion of these tax matters decreased the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $16 million. Taxes on earnings from continuing operations, in the first nine months of 2014, reflect a tax cost of $37 million, primarily as a result of the resolution of various tax positions related to the branded generics pharmaceutical business and the impact of changes in the Chilean tax rate. Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the first nine months of 2014 reflects the recognition of $101 million of net tax benefits primarily as a result of the resolution of various tax positions related to the developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business, as well as AbbVies 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.
Tax authorities in various jurisdictions regularly review Abbotts income tax filings. Abbott believes that it is reasonably possible that the recorded amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $525 million to $635 million, including cash adjustments, within the next twelve months as a result of concluding various domestic and international tax matters. In the U.S., Abbotts federal income tax returns through 2011 are settled except for two issues.
Note 13 Segment Information
Abbotts principal business is the discovery, development, manufacture and sale of a broad line of health care products. Abbotts products are generally sold directly to retailers, wholesalers, hospitals, health care facilities, laboratories, physicians offices and government agencies throughout the world. Abbotts reportable segments are as follows:
Established Pharmaceutical Products International sales of a broad line of branded generic pharmaceutical products.
Nutritional Products Worldwide sales of a broad line of adult and pediatric nutritional products.
Diagnostic Products Worldwide sales of diagnostic systems and tests for blood banks, hospitals, commercial laboratories and alternate-care testing sites. For segment reporting purposes, the Core Laboratories Diagnostics, Molecular Diagnostics, Point of Care and Ibis diagnostic divisions are aggregated and reported as the Diagnostic Products segment.
Vascular Products Worldwide sales of coronary, endovascular, structural heart, vessel closure and other medical device products. For segment reporting purposes, the Vascular and Electrophysiology Products divisions are aggregated and reported as the Vascular Products segment.
Non-reportable segments include the Diabetes Care and Medical Optics segments.
On February 27, 2015, Abbott completed the sale of its developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business to Mylan. This business was previously included in the Established Pharmaceutical Products segment for the first nine months of 2014; therefore, the 2014 segment information below has been adjusted to reflect the classification of the developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business as part of discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
Abbotts underlying accounting records are maintained on a legal entity basis for government and public reporting requirements. Segment disclosures are on a performance basis consistent with internal management reporting. Intersegment transfers of inventory are recorded at standard cost and are not a measure of segment operating earnings. The cost of some corporate functions and the cost of certain employee benefits are charged to segments at predetermined rates that approximate cost. Remaining costs, if any, are not allocated to segments. In addition, intangible asset amortization is not allocated to operating segments, and intangible assets and goodwill are not included in the measure of each segments assets. The following segment information has been prepared in accordance with the internal accounting policies of Abbott, as described above, and are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied to the consolidated financial statements.

Net sales growth in the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 was negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The relatively stronger U.S. dollar decreased total international sales by 13.8 percent and total sales by 9.5 percent in the third quarter. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange and including the impact of the 2014 acquisitions of CFR Pharmaceuticals and Veropharm, total net sales increased 10.9 percent in the third quarter of 2015, driven by growth in the Established Pharmaceuticals, Diagnostics and Nutritional Products business segments. Double-digit growth in emerging market sales was a significant contributor to the 15.4 percent increase in total international sales excluding the impact of foreign exchange for the third quarter of 2015.
The table below provides detail by sales category for the nine months ended September 30. Percent changes are versus the prior year and are based on unrounded numbers.
