Note 1 . BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 . All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the 2016 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.

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 sales rebate and return accruals; legal contingencies; income taxes; determining if an acquisition or divestiture is a business or an asset; and pension and postretirement benefits. Actual results may differ from estimates.

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The consolidated statements of cash flows previously presented interest rate swap contract terminations and issuance of common stock as separate line items within cash flows from financing activities which are now presented as components of other financing activities. The reclassifications provide a more concise financial statement presentation and additional information is disclosed in the notes if material.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Share-based Payment Transactions

Amended guidance for share-based payment transactions was adopted in the first quarter of 2017. Net excess tax benefits of $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were recognized prospectively as a reduction of tax expense rather than capital in excess of par value of stock. Net excess tax benefits are also presented as an operating cash flow rather than a financing cash flow, and cash payments to tax authorities in connection with shares withheld for statutory tax withholding requirements are presented as a financing cash flow rather than an operating cash flow. The changes in cash flow presentation were applied retrospectively and increased operating cash flows and decreased financing cash flows by $105 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $186 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 .

Income Tax Accounting for Intra-entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory

Amended guidance on income tax accounting for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory was early adopted in the first quarter of 2017 on a modified retrospective approach. The amended guidance requires tax consequences of these transfers be recognized in the period the transfer takes place. Net reductions to prepaid and deferred tax assets pertaining to pre-2017 internal transfers of intellectual property of $787 million were adjusted through retained earnings as a cumulative effect of an accounting change which will reduce the annual tax expense by $86 million beginning in 2017. In addition, the tax consequences of additional internal transfers of intellectual property that may occur in the future will be included in income tax expense upon transfer and not amortized in subsequent periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Presentation of Net Periodic Pension and Postretirement Benefits

In March 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance requiring all net periodic benefit components for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans other than service costs to be recorded outside of income from operations (other income). The guidance is effective in 2018 on a retrospective basis. The Company expects that annual cost of products sold; marketing, selling and administrative; and research and development expenses will increase by approximately $150 million in the aggregate with a corresponding offset in other income.

In addition, the following recently issued accounting standards have not been adopted. Refer to the 2016 Form 10-K for additional information and their potential impacts.

Note 2 . 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. The determination of a single segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the chief executive officer for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets and planning and forecasting future periods.

Product revenues and the composition of total revenues were as follows:

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 are 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. We refer to these collaborations as alliances and our partners as alliance partners. Products sold through alliance arrangements in certain markets include Opdivo , Eliquis , Orencia , Sprycel , Yervoy , Empliciti , Sustiva ( Atripla* ) and certain other brands.

Selected financial information pertaining to our 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.

Amortization of deferred income (primarily related to alliances) was $39 million and $143 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

Specific information pertaining to each of our significant alliances is discussed in our 2016 Form 10-K, including their nature and purpose, the significant rights and obligations of the parties and specific accounting policy elections. Significant developments and updates related to alliances during the six months ended June 30, 2017 are set forth below.

AstraZeneca

BMS received $100 million from AstraZeneca as additional contingent consideration for the diabetes business divestiture upon achievement of a regulatory approval milestone in the first quarter of 2017 (included in other income).

F-Star Alpha

In the first quarter of 2017, BMS discontinued development of FS102 (an anti-HER2 antibody fragment) which was in Phase I development for the treatment of breast and gastric cancer. BMS will not exercise its option to purchase F-Star Alpha which was previously consolidated by BMS as a variable interest entity. As a result, an IPRD charge of $75 million was included in R&D expense and attributed to noncontrolling interest in the first quarter of 2017.

Note 4 . ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND LICENSING ARRANGEMENTS

Acquisitions

Flexus

In the second quarter of 2017, a $ 100 million milestone was achieved and paid to former stockholders of Flexus as additional contingent consideration following the commencement of a Phase II clinical study of an anti-cancer compound, IDO inhibitor. The additional consideration was included in R&D expense as the Flexus acquisition in 2015 was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Cardioxyl

In the second quarter of 2017, a $100 million milestone was achieved and paid to former stockholders of Cardioxyl as additional contingent consideration following the commencement of a Phase II clinical study of a cardiovascular compound, Nitroxyl Donor. The additional consideration was included in R&D expense as the Cardioxyl acquisition in 2015 was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Divestitures

SK Biotek

In the second quarter of 2017, BMS agreed to sell its small molecule active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing operations in Swords, Ireland to SK Biotek. The divestiture includes the transfer of the facility, the majority of employees at the site, inventories and certain third-party contract manufacturing obligations. The purchase price is expected to be approximately $150 million subject to inventory levels on the date of closing. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017 subject to SK Biotek's receipt of certain environmental permits and other customary closing conditions and will be accounted for as a sale of a business. Net assets of approximately $150 million were accounted for as held-for-sale as of June 30, 2017, consisting primarily of inventories and property, plant and equipment, and were included in prepaid expenses and other. The assets were reduced to their estimated relative fair value after considering the purchase price resulting in an impairment charge of $127 million that was included in cost of products sold in the second quarter of 2017. SK Biotek will provide certain manufacturing services for BMS through 2022. Revenues and pretax earnings related to this operation were not material in 2017 and 2016 (excluding the impairment charge).

Licensing Arrangements

CytomX

BMS expanded its strategic collaboration with CytomX to discover novel therapies using CytomX's proprietary Probody platform in the second quarter of 2017. As part of the original May 2014 collaboration to discover, develop and commercialize Probody therapeutics, BMS selected four oncology targets, including CTLA-4. Pursuant to the expanded agreement, CytomX will grant BMS exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize Probody therapeutics for up to eight additional targets. BMS paid CytomX $75 million for the rights to the initial four targets which was expensed as R&D prior to 2017. BMS paid $200 million to CytomX for access to the additional targets which was included in R&D expense in the second quarter of 2017. BMS will also reimburse CytomX for certain research costs over the collaboration period, pay up to $448 million upon achievement of contingent development, regulatory and sales milestone events for each collaboration target and future royalties if a product is approved and commercialized.

Biogen

BMS out-licensed to Biogen exclusive rights to develop and commercialize BMS-986168, an anti-eTau compound in development for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, in the second quarter of 2017. Biogen paid $300 million to BMS which was included in other income in the second quarter of 2017 as BMS has no further performance obligations as part of the agreement. BMS is also entitled to contingent development, regulatory and sales based milestone payments of up to $410 million if achieved as well as future royalties if the product is ultimately approved and commercialized. BMS originally acquired the rights to this compound in 2014 through its acquisition of iPierian. Biogen will assume all of BMS's remaining obligations to the former stockholders of iPierian.

Roche

BMS out-licensed to Roche exclusive rights to develop and commercialize BMS-986089, an anti-myostatin adnectin in development for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, in the second quarter of 2017. Roche paid $170 million to BMS which was included in other income in the second quarter of 2017 as BMS has no further performance obligations as part of the agreement. BMS will also be entitled to contingent development and regulatory milestone payments of up to $205 million if achieved and future royalties if the product is ultimately approved and commercialized.

Note 6 . RESTRUCTURING

In October 2016, the Company announced a restructuring plan to evolve and streamline its operating model and expects to incur charges in connection with employee workforce reductions and early site exits. The charges are expected to be incurred through 2020, range between $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion and consist of employee termination benefit costs, contract termination costs, plant and equipment accelerated depreciation and impairment charges and other site shutdown costs. Cash outlays in connection with these actions are expected to be approximately 40% to 50% of the total charges. Charges of $536 million have been recognized for these actions since the announcement ( $225 million and $447 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively). These charges include an impairment charge for the manufacturing operations in Swords, Ireland discussed in "-Note 4 . Acquisitions, Divestitures and Licensing Arrangements." Restructuring charges are recognized upon meeting certain criteria, including finalization of committed plans, reliable estimates and discussions with local works councils in certain markets.

Other restructuring charges recognized prior to the above actions were primarily related to specialty care transformation initiatives designed to create a more simplified organization across all functions and geographic markets. In addition, accelerated depreciation and other charges were incurred in connection with the expected early exits of a manufacturing site in Ireland and R&D site in the U.S.

Note 7 . INCOME TAXES

Dollars in Millions	2017			2016			2017			2016
Earnings Before Income Taxes	$	1,295		$	1,615		$	3,250		$	3,270
Provision for Income Taxes	373			427			802			876
Effective Tax Rate	28.8		%	26.4		%	24.7		%	26.8		%

The effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% which is primarily attributable to undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries in low tax jurisdictions that have been considered or are expected to be indefinitely reinvested offshore. These undistributed earnings primarily relate to operations in Switzerland, Ireland and Puerto Rico. If these undistributed earnings are repatriated to the U.S. in the future, or if it were determined that such earnings are to be remitted in the foreseeable future, additional tax provisions would be required. Due to complexities in the tax laws and assumptions that would have to be made, it is not practicable to estimate the amounts of income taxes that would have to be provided. Reforms to U.S. tax laws related to foreign earnings have been proposed and if adopted, may increase taxes, which could reduce the results of operations and cash flows. BMS operates under a favorable tax grant in Puerto Rico not scheduled to expire prior to 2023.

Jurisdictional tax rates and other tax impacts attributed to R&D charges, divestiture transactions and other discrete pretax items increased the effective tax rate by 3.5% and 4.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, including non-deductible R&D asset acquisition charges and goodwill allocated to business divestitures. The tax impact for discrete items are reflected immediately and are not considered in estimating the annual effective tax rate.

The adoption of the amended guidance for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory and share-based payment transactions reduced the effective tax rate by 2.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2017 . Refer to "-Note 1 . Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards" for additional information.

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 the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2017 could decrease in the range of approximately $255 million to $315 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 also 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.

BMS has a stock repurchase program authorized by its Board of Directors allowing for repurchases in the open market or through private transactions, including plans established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Treasury stock is recognized at the cost to reacquire the shares. Shares issued from treasury are recognized utilizing the first-in first-out method.

In February 2017, BMS executed accelerated share repurchase agreements to repurchase an aggregate $2 billion of common stock. The agreements were funded through a combination of debt and cash. In February 2017, an initial delivery of approximately 28.7 million shares of BMS common stock, representing approximately 80% of the notional amount of the agreements, was received by BMS and included in treasury stock. Upon settlement of the accelerated share repurchase agreements in May 2017, BMS received an additional 7.8 million shares determined using the volume-weighted average price of BMS common stock during the term of the transaction.

Pension settlement charges were recognized after determining that the annual lump sum payments will likely exceed the annual interest and service costs for the primary and certain other U.S. pension plans. The charges included the acceleration of a portion of unrecognized actuarial losses. Non-current pension liabilities were $494 million at June 30, 2017 and $600 million at December 31, 2016 . Defined contribution plan expense in the U.S. was $52 million and $50 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and $96 million and $92 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

Note 17 . LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company 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. 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. The Company recognizes accruals for such contingencies when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. These matters 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. Legal proceedings that are material or that the Company believes could become material are described below.

Although the Company believes it has substantial defenses in these matters, there can be no assurance that there will not be an increase in the scope of pending matters or that any future lawsuits, claims, government investigations or other legal proceedings will not be material. Unless otherwise noted, the Company is unable to assess the outcome of the respective litigation nor is it able to provide an estimated range of potential loss. Furthermore, failure to enforce our patent rights would likely result in substantial decreases in the respective product revenues from generic competition.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Plavix* - Australia

As previously disclosed, 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. (Apotex), has since changed its name to Apotex. In August 2007, Apotex filed an application in the Federal Court of Australia (the Federal Court) 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 granted Sanofi's injunction. A subsidiary of the Company 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 Apotex case, and a trial occurred in April 2008. 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. The Company 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 which have stayed the Federal Court's ruling. Apotex filed a notice of appeal appealing the holding of validity of the clopidogrel bisulfate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, and taurocholate claims. A hearing on the appeals occurred in February 2009. On September 29, 2009, the Full Court held all of the claims of Patent No. 597784 invalid. In November 2009, the Company and Sanofi applied to the High Court of Australia (High Court) for special leave to appeal the judgment of the Full Court. In March 2010, the High Court denied the Company and Sanofi's request to hear the appeal of the Full Court decision. The case has been remanded to the Federal Court for further proceedings related to damages sought by Apotex. The Australian government has intervened in this matter and is also seeking damages for alleged losses experienced during the period when the injunction was in place. The Company and Apotex have settled the Apotex case, and the case has been dismissed. The Australian government's claim is still pending and a trial has been scheduled for August 2017. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of the Australian government's claim or its impact on the Company.

Sprycel - European Union

In May 2013, Apotex, Actavis Group PTC ehf, Generics [UK] Limited (Mylan) and an unnamed company filed oppositions in the EPO seeking revocation of European Patent No. 1169038 (the ‘038 patent) covering dasatinib, the active ingredient in Sprycel . The ‘038 patent is scheduled to expire in April 2020 (excluding potential term extensions). On January 20, 2016, the Opposition Division of the EPO revoked the ‘038 patent. In May 2016, the Company appealed the EPO's decision to the EPO Board of Appeal. In February 2017, the EPO Board of Appeal upheld the Opposition Division's decision, and revoked the ‘038 patent. Orphan drug exclusivity and data exclusivity for Sprycel in the EU expired in November 2016. The EPO Board of Appeal's decision does not affect the validity of our other Sprycel patents within and outside Europe, including different patents that cover the monohydrate form of dasatinib and the use of dasatinib to treat CML. Additionally, in February 2017, the EPO Board of Appeal reversed and remanded an invalidity decision on European Patent No. 1610780 and its claim to the use of dasatinib to treat CML, which the EPO's Opposition Division had revoked in October 2012. The Company intends to take appropriate legal actions to protect Sprycel . We may experience a decline in European revenues in the event that generic dasatinib product enters the market.

Anti-PD-1 Antibody Patent Oppositions and Litigation

In September 2015, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Dana-Farber) filed a complaint in Massachusetts federal court seeking to correct the inventorship of five related U.S. patents directed to methods of treating cancer using a PD-1 antibody. Specifically, Dana-Farber is seeking to add two scientists as inventors to these patents.

Eliquis Patent Litigation

In February, March and April 2017, twenty-five generic companies sent the Company Paragraph-IV certification letters informing the Company that they had filed abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) seeking approval of generic versions of Eliquis . As a result, the three Eliquis patents listed in the FDA Orange Book have now been challenged, including a composition of matter patent claiming apixaban specifically and a formulation patent. In April 2017, the Company, along with its partner Pfizer, initiated patent lawsuits under the Hatch-Waxman Act against all generic filers in federal district courts in Delaware and West Virginia.

PRICING, SALES AND PROMOTIONAL PRACTICES LITIGATION

Plavix* State Attorneys General Lawsuits

The Company and certain affiliates of Sanofi are defendants in consumer protection and/or false advertising actions brought by several states relating to the sales and promotion of Plavix* . It is not possible at this time to reasonably assess the outcome of these lawsuits or their potential impact on the Company.

PRODUCT LIABILITY LITIGATION

The Company 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, the Company also faces unfiled claims involving its products.

Plavix*

As previously disclosed, the Company and certain affiliates of Sanofi are defendants in a number of individual lawsuits in various state and federal courts claiming personal injury damage allegedly sustained after using Plavix* . Currently, over 5,300 claims involving injury plaintiffs as well as claims by spouses and/or other beneficiaries, are filed in state and federal courts in various states including California, New Jersey, Delaware and New York. In February 2013, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation granted the Company and Sanofi's motion to establish a multi-district litigation (MDL) to coordinate Federal pretrial proceedings in Plavix* product liability and related cases in New Jersey Federal Court. It is not possible at this time to reasonably assess the outcome of these lawsuits or the potential impact on the Company.

Byetta*

Amylin, a former subsidiary of the Company, and Lilly are co-defendants in product liability litigation related to Byetta*. To date, there are over 500 separate lawsuits pending on behalf of approximately 2,000 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 Company has agreed in principle to resolve over 15 of these claims. The majority of these cases have been brought by individuals who allege personal injury sustained after using Byetta* , primarily pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis, and, in some cases, claiming alleged wrongful death. The majority of cases were 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. The plaintiffs in the MDL have appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the JCCP plaintiffs have appealed to the California Court of Appeal. Amylin has product liability insurance covering a substantial number of claims involving Byetta* and any additional liability to Amylin with respect to Byetta* is expected to be shared between the Company and AstraZeneca. It is not possible to reasonably predict the outcome of any lawsuit, claim or proceeding or the potential impact on the Company.

Abilify*

The Company 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 270 cases filed in state and federal courts and several additional cases are pending in Canada. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has consolidated the federal court cases for pretrial purposes in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida.

Eliquis

The Company and Pfizer are co-defendants in product liability litigation related to Eliquis . Plaintiffs assert claims, including claims for wrongful death, as a result of bleeding they allege was caused by their use of Eliquis . The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation established an MDL in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. As of July 2017, there are more than 100 cases pending in state and federal courts in the United States and two pending in Canada. There have been 61 cases dismissed from the MDL with prejudice.

SHAREHOLDER DERIVATIVE LITIGATION

Since December 2015, three shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in New York state court against certain officers and directors of the Company. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duty surrounding the Company's previously disclosed October 2015 civil settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission of alleged Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations in China in which the Company agreed to a payment of approximately $14.7 million in disgorgement, penalties and interest. Two of the lawsuits have been dismissed, and the Company has filed a motion to dismiss the remaining lawsuit.

GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS

Like other pharmaceutical companies, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation by national, state and local government agencies in the U.S. and other countries in which BMS operates. As a result, the Company, from time to time, is subject to various governmental inquiries and investigations. It is possible that criminal charges, substantial fines and/or civil penalties, could result from government investigations.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEEDINGS

As previously reported, the Company 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 the Company'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 the Company is responsible under various state, federal and foreign laws, the Company 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 the Company accrues liabilities when they are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company estimated its share of future costs for these sites to be $64 million at June 30, 2017 , 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 $64 million 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

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company is a global specialty biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to discover, develop and deliver innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases. Our 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 four strategic priorities are to drive business performance, continue to build a strong franchise in IO, maintain a diversified portfolio both within and outside of IO, and continue our disciplined approach to capital allocation, including establishing partnerships and collaborations as an essential component of successfully delivering transformational medicines to patients. Refer to the Summary of Abbreviated Terms at the end of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for terms used throughout the document.

Our revenues increased by 9% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of higher demand for our prioritized brands including Opdivo and Eliquis partially offset by increased competition for established brands, primarily Daklinza . The increase in GAAP EPS from $1.41 in 2016 to $1.50 in 2017 was due to higher revenues, royalties and licensing income and the patent-infringement litigation settlement related to Merck's PD-1 antibody Keytruda* (pembrolizumab). These items were partially offset by higher license, asset acquisition and restructuring related charges and lower divestiture related income. After adjusting for licensing income, litigation settlements, license and asset acquisition charges and other specified items, non-GAAP EPS increased from $1.43 in 2016 to $1.58 in 2017 .

(a)	Other revenues include royalties and alliance-related revenues for products not sold by our regional commercial organizations.


(b)	Foreign exchange impacts were derived by applying the prior period average currency rates to the current period sales.

U.S. revenues increased in both periods due to higher demand for Eliquis and Opdivo partially offset by lower demand for Daklinza due to increased competition. Average U.S. net selling prices were approximately 3% higher after charge-backs, rebates and discounts in the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period. Refer to "-Product Revenues" below for additional information.

Europe revenues increased in both periods due to higher demand for Opdivo and Eliquis partially offset by lower demand for Daklinza due to increased competition .

Rest of the World revenues increased in the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to higher demand for Opdivo and Eliquis partially offset by lower demand for established brands due to increased competition and the divestiture of certain other brands. Rest of the World revenues decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2017 as the decrease in established brands sales exceeded the increase in Opdivo and Eliquis sales .

No single country outside the U.S. contributed more than 10% of total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 . Our business is typically not seasonal.

GTN Adjustments

The reconciliation of gross product sales to net product sales by each significant category of GTN adjustments was as follows (excluding alliance and other revenues such as Atripla* ):



	Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
Dollars in Millions	2017			2016			% Change		2017			2016			% Change
Gross product sales	$	6,306		$	5,588		13	%	$	12,168		$	10,554		15	%
GTN adjustments:
Charge-backs and cash discounts	(500		)	(395		)	27	%	(938		)	(747		)	26	%
Medicaid and Medicare rebates	(517		)	(361		)	43	%	(901		)	(621		)	45	%
Other rebates, returns, discounts and adjustments	(519		)	(400		)	30	%	(979		)	(790		)	24	%
Total GTN adjustments	(1,536		)	(1,156		)	33	%	(2,818		)	(2,158		)	31	%
Net product sales	$	4,770		$	4,432		8	%	$	9,350		$	8,396		11	%

Non-U.S.	13		%	12		%	1	%	13		%	12		%	1	%

Reductions to provisions for product sales made in prior periods resulting from changes in estimates were $54 million and $79 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. GTN adjustments are primarily a function of product sales volume, regional and payer channel mix, contractual and legislative discounts and rebates. GTN adjustments are increasing at a higher rate than gross product sales due to higher U.S. Eliquis gross product sales, which has a relatively high GTN adjustment percentage.

** Change in excess of 100%

Opdivo (nivolumab) - a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to the PD-1 on T and NKT cells that has been approved for several anti-cancer indications including melanoma, head and neck, lung, kidney, bladder and blood and continues to be investigated across other tumor types and disease areas.


•	U.S. revenues increased in both periods due to higher demand. We expect increased competition for Opdivo to continue in the second half of 2017.


•	International revenues increased in both periods due to higher demand as a result of launches of additional indications and approvals in new countries.

Eliquis (apixaban) - an oral Factor Xa inhibitor, targeted at stroke prevention in adult patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolic disorders.


•	U.S. and international revenues increased in both periods due to higher demand resulting from increased commercial acceptance of novel oral anticoagulants and market share gains.

Orencia (abatacept) - a fusion protein indicated for adult patients with moderate to severe active RA and is also indicated for reducing signs and symptoms in certain pediatric patients with moderately to severely active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis.


•	U.S. revenues increased in both periods due to higher average net selling prices and demand.


•	International revenues increased in both periods due to higher demand.

Sprycel (dasatinib) - an oral inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinase indicated for the first-line treatment of adults with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase and the treatment of adults with chronic, accelerated, or myeloid or lymphoid blast phase chronic myeloid leukemia with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy, including Gleevec* (imatinib meslylate).


•	U.S. revenues increased in both periods due to higher demand and average net selling prices.


•	International revenues increased in both periods due to higher demand.

Yervoy (ipilimumab) - a monoclonal antibody for the treatment of patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma.


•	U.S. revenues increased in both periods due to higher demand.


•	International revenues increased in both periods due to higher demand.

Empliciti (elotuzumab) - a humanized monoclonal antibody for the treatment of multiple myeloma.


•	Empliciti was launched in the U.S. in December 2015, in the EU in May 2016 and in Japan in September 2016.

Hepatitis C Franchise - Daklinza (daclatasvir) - an NS5A replication complex inhibitor; Sunvepra (asunaprevir) - an NS3 protease inhibitor; and beclabuvir - an NS5B inhibitor. Includes Ximency , a single pill combination of daclatasvir, asunaprevir and beclabuvir in Japan.


•	U.S. and international revenues decreased in both periods due to lower demand resulting from increased competition.

Baraclude (entecavir) - an oral antiviral agent for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B.


•	International revenues continued to decrease in both periods due to lower demand.

Sustiva (efavirenz) Franchise - a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor for the treatment of HIV, which includes Sustiva , an antiretroviral drug, and bulk efavirenz, which is also included in the combination therapy, Atripla*.


•	U.S. revenues continued to decrease in both periods due to lower demand resulting from increased competition. The loss of exclusivity for Sustiva is expected in December 2017 which may result in the termination of the joint venture agreement with Gilead and further reduce revenues beyond 2017.

Reyataz (atazanavir sulfate) Franchise - Includes Reyataz - a protease inhibitor for the treatment of HIV and Evotaz (atazanavir 300 mg and cobicistat 150 mg) - a combination therapy containing Reyataz and Tybost* (cobicistat).


•	U.S. revenues continued to decrease due to lower demand resulting from increased competition. The loss of exclusivity is expected in December 2017 and will result in a higher decline in revenues in future periods due to generic competition.


•	International revenues continued to decrease in both periods due to lower demand. The decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2017 was partially offset by the timing of government purchases in certain countries.

Other Brands - includes all other products, including those which have lost exclusivity in major markets, OTC brands and royalty revenue.


•	International revenues decreased in both periods due to out-licensing and divestiture of certain other brands and continued generic erosion.

Estimated End-User Demand

Pursuant to the SEC Consent Order described in our 2016 Annual Report on 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. No U.S. products had estimated levels of inventory in the distribution channel in excess of one month on hand at June 30, 2017. Below are international products that had estimated levels of inventory in the distribution channel in excess of one month at March 31, 2017.

Dafalgan , an analgesic product sold principally in Europe, had 1.3 months of inventory on hand internationally at direct customers compared to 1.1 months of inventory on hand at December 31, 2016. The level of inventory on hand was primarily due to the ordering patterns of pharmacists in France.

Efferalgan , an analgesic product sold principally in Europe, had 1.2 months of inventory on hand internationally at direct customers compared to 0.9 months of inventory on hand at December 31, 2016. The level of inventory on hand was primarily due to the ordering patterns of pharmacists in France.

Fervex , a cold and flu product, had 2.7 months of inventory on hand at direct customers compared to 2.6 months of inventory on hand at December 31, 2016. The level of inventory on hand was attributable to France to support product seasonality.

Perfalgan , an analgesic product, had 1.6 months of inventory on hand internationally at direct customers compared to 3.0 months of inventory on hand at December 31, 2016. The level of inventory on hand was primarily in the Gulf Countries due to extended delivery lead time.

Sunvepra , a Hepatitis C product, had 1.1 months of inventory on hand at direct customers compared to 0.8 months of inventory on hand at December 31, 2016. The level of inventory on hand was attributable to decreasing in-market sales primarily in Japan.

Ximency , a Hepatitis C product, had 2.4 months of inventory on hand at direct customers. The product was launched in February 2017 in Japan.

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 and our distributors. Our three largest wholesalers account for approximately 95% of total gross sales of U.S. products. Factors that may influence our estimates include generic competition, 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.

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 a result, all of the information required to estimate months on hand in the direct customer distribution channel for non-U.S. businesses for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 is not available prior to the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We will disclose any product with inventory levels 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.

Total Expenses	$	3,849		$	3,256		18	%	$	6,823		$	5,992		14	%

Cost of products sold increased in both periods due to higher Eliquis profit sharing (approximately $195 million and $370 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively) and a $127 million impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of assets held-for-sale to their estimated fair value in the second quarter of 2017. Refer to "Item 1. Financial Statements-Note 4 . Acquisitions, Divestitures and Licensing Arrangements" for further information.

Marketing, selling and administrative expense decreased in both periods due to lower advertising, promotion and sales force expenses supporting established brands partially offset by higher spend for Opdivo.

Research and development expense increased in both periods due to higher license and asset acquisition charges, accelerated depreciation and the expansion of Opdivo development programs and capabilities. The six months ended June 30, 2017 also included higher IPRD impairment charges. The significant changes included in R&D expense were as follows:

•

License and asset acquisition charges include an upfront payment to CytomX ($200 million), milestone payments to former stockholders of Flexus and Cardioxyl ($100 million each) in the second quarter of 2017 and the acquisition of Padlock ($139 million) in the second quarter of 2016 and a milestone payment to former stockholders of Flexus ($100 million) in the first quarter of 2016. These arrangements were related to certain investigational oncology and cardiovascular compounds.


•	Accelerated depreciation and other charges resulted from the expected exit of additional R&D sites in the U.S. primarily due to the reduction in the estimated useful lives of the related assets for each site at various dates through 2020 and is expected to approximate $300 million in 2017.


•	IPRD impairment charges in the six months ended June 30, 2017 related to the discontinued development of an investigational compound which was part of our alliance with F-Star Alpha.

Refer to "Item 1. Financial Statements-Note 3 . Alliances, Note 4 . Acquisitions, Divestitures and Licensing Arrangements and Note 6 . Restructuring" for further information.

Other income increased in both periods due to higher royalties and licensing income partially offset by lower divestiture gains and a loss on debt redemption in 2017. The six months ended June 30, 2017 also included higher litigation and other settlement income and restructuring charges. The significant changes included in other income were as follows:

•	Royalties and licensing income include upfront licensing fees from Biogen ($300 million) and Roche ($170 million) in the second quarter of 2017 in connection with the out-licensing of certain investigational genetically defined disease compounds.


•	Divestiture gains include additional contingent consideration for the diabetes business ($100 million) in the first quarter of 2017, an OTC product business in the second quarter of 2016 ($277 million) and the investigational HIV medicines business in the first quarter of 2016 ($269 million).

•

Restructuring charges relate to changes to the Company's operating model to drive continued success in the near- and long-term through a more focused investment in commercial opportunities for key brands and markets, a competitive and more agile R&D organization that can accelerate the pipeline, streamline operations and realign manufacturing capabilities that broaden biologics capabilities to reflect the current and future portfolio as well as streamline and simplify our small-molecule supply network. The new operating model will enable the Company to deliver the strategic, financial and operational flexibility necessary to invest in the highest priorities across the Company. Restructuring charges of approximately $250 million are expected to be incurred in 2017 for all actions in addition to accelerated depreciation impacts resulting from early site exits.

•

Litigation and other settlements include BMS's share of a patent-infringement litigation settlement related to Merck's PD-1 antibody Keytruda* in the first quarter of 2017 as BMS and Ono signed a global patent license agreement with Merck. Merck made an initial payment of $625 million to BMS and Ono, of which BMS received $481 million. Merck is also obligated to pay ongoing royalties on global sales of Keytruda* of 6.5% from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2023, and 2.5% from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026. The companies also granted certain rights to each other under their respective patent portfolios pertaining to PD-1. Payments and royalties are shared between BMS and Ono on a 75/25 percent allocation, respectively after adjusting for each parties' legal fees.


•	A debt redemption loss of $109 million resulted from the early redemption of certain long-term debt obligations in the second quarter of 2017.

Refer to "Item 1. Financial Statements-Note 4 . Acquisitions, Divestitures and Licensing Arrangements, Note 5 . Other (Income)/Expense, Note 6 . Restructuring and Note 9 . Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements" for further information.

The jurisdictional tax rates and other tax impacts attributed to R&D charges, divestiture transactions and other specified items increased the effective tax rate by 3.5% and 4.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. In addition, the adoption of amended income tax accounting guidance reduced the effective tax rate by 2.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2017 . Refer to "Item 1. Financial Statements-Note 1 . Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Note 7 . Income Taxes" for further information.

Comprehensive U.S. tax reform continues to be discussed and proposed, including among other items, changes to the corporate tax rate, a border adjustment tax and changes to how the U.S. taxes foreign earnings. It is currently uncertain whether any of these changes will be enacted, and if so, the effective dates. If comprehensive tax reform occurs, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be significantly impacted, however, we are unable to determine the potential impact at this time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our non-GAAP financial measures, including 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 restructuring costs, accelerated depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, R&D charges in connection with the acquisition or licensing of third-party intellectual property rights, divestiture and debt redemption gains or losses, pension charges and legal and other contractual settlements, 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.

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 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.

FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our net cash position was as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents	$	3,470		$	4,237
Marketable securities – current	3,035			2,113

Long-term debt	(6,911		)	(5,716		)
Net cash position	$	868		$	2,361

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held in the U.S. were approximately $600 million at June 30, 2017 . Most of the remaining $8.5 billion is held primarily in low-tax jurisdictions attributable to earnings expected to be indefinitely reinvested offshore. Cash repatriations are subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions and may be subject to withholding and additional U.S. income taxes. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities together with cash generated from operations and issuance of commercial paper in the U.S. will be sufficient to satisfy our normal cash requirements for at least the next few years, including dividends, capital expenditures, milestone payments, working capital and maturities of long-term debt. Long-term debt with a principal value of $750 million matures in August 2017.

Management continuously evaluates the Company's capital structure to ensure the Company is financed efficiently, which may result in the repurchase of common stock and debt securities, termination of interest rate swap contracts prior to maturity and issuance of debt securities.

The Company repurchased $2.0 billion of common stock in 2017 through accelerated share repurchase agreements, which were funded by $1.5 billion of new debt issuance and cash. The Company also repurchased $337 million of long-term debt in the second quarter of 2017. Refer to "Item 1. Financial Statements-Note 9 . Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements and Note 15 . Equity" for further information.

Dividend payments were $1.3 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Dividends declared per common share were $0.78 and $0.76 in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Dividend decisions are made on a quarterly basis by our Board of Directors. Annual capital expenditures were $1.2 billion in 2016 and are expected to be approximately $1.0 billion in 2017 and $900 million in 2018. We continue to expand our biologics manufacturing capabilities and other facility-related activities. For example, we are constructing a new large-scale biologics manufacturing facility in Ireland that will produce multiple therapies for our growing biologics portfolio when completed in 2019.

Our investment portfolio includes non-current marketable 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 duration 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.

We currently have three separate revolving credit facilities totaling $5 billion from a syndicate of lenders. The facilities provide for customary terms and conditions with no financial covenants. Our 364 day $2.0 billion facility expires in March 2018 and our two $1.5 billion facilities were extended to October 2021 and July 2022. Our two $1.5 billion facilities are extendable annually by one year on the anniversary date with the consent of the lenders. No borrowings were outstanding under any revolving credit facility at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .

Additional regulations in the U.S. could be passed in the future including additional healthcare reform initiatives, comprehensive tax reform, additional pricing laws and potential importation restrictions which may reduce our results of operations, operating cash flow, liquidity and financial flexibility. 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.

Credit Ratings

BMS's 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. BMS's long-term and short-term credit ratings assigned by Standard & Poor's are A+ and A-1+, respectively, with a stable long-term credit outlook. BMS's long-term and short-term credit ratings assigned by Fitch are A- and F2, respectively, with a stable long-term credit outlook. Our 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. Our 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:



	Six Months Ended June 30,
Dollars in Millions	2017			2016
Cash flow provided by/(used in):
Operating activities	$	2,445		$	211
Investing activities	(1,227		)	1,832
Financing activities	(2,019		)	(1,502		)

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 (120 days to 150 days). 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 $2.2 billion change in cash flow from operating activities compared to 2016 was primarily attributable to the following items in addition to increased sales and the timing of cash collections and payments in the ordinary course of business:


•	Lower income tax payments of approximately $1.3 billion;


•	Higher out-license proceeds of approximately $500 million primarily related to the Biogen and Roche transactions; and


•	BMS's share of litigation settlement proceeds of $481 million related to Merck's PD-1 antibody Keytruda*;

Partially offset by:


•	Higher R&D licensing payments of approximately $300 million primarily due to the CytomX transaction.

Investing Activities

Cash requirements from investing activities include cash used for acquisitions, manufacturing and facility-related capital expenditures and purchases of marketable securities with maturities greater than 90 days reduced by proceeds from business divestitures (including royalties) and the sale and maturity of marketable securities.

The $3.1 billion change in cash flow from investing activities compared to 2016 was primarily attributable to:


•	Higher net purchases of marketable securities with maturities greater than 90 days of $2.4 billion due to higher available cash balances; and


•	Lower business divestiture proceeds of approximately $600 million primarily due to certain OTC products and investigational HIV business divestitures in 2016.

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 $517 million change in cash flow from financing activities compared to 2016 was primarily attributable to:


•	Higher repurchase of common stock of $1.8 billion.

Partially offset by:


•	Higher net long-term debt proceeds of $1.0 billion in 2017 primarily to fund the repurchase of common stock; and


•	Higher net short-term borrowings of approximately $300 million, including additional non-U.S. borrowings.

Product and Pipeline Developments

We manage our R&D programs on a portfolio basis, investing resources in each stage from early discovery through late-stage development. We continually evaluate our portfolio of R&D assets to ensure that there is an appropriate balance of early- and late-stage programs to support future growth. We consider our R&D programs that have entered into Phase III development to be significant, as these programs constitute our late-stage development pipeline. These programs include both investigational compounds in Phase III development for initial indications and marketed products in Phase III development for additional indications or formulations. The following are the recent developments in our marketed products and our late-stage pipeline:

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 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2017 .

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 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the fact they use words such as "should", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "target", "may", "project", "guidance", "intend", "plan", "believe" 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 current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from current expectations. These statements are likely to relate to, among other things, our goals, plans and projections 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 and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and financial results, which are based on current expectations that involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including internal or external factors that could delay, divert or change any of them in the next several years. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this report and in the 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly under "Item 1A. Risk Factors," that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.

Although we believe 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. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective.

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
