Frequently Asked Questions

The acquisition of Abbott Medical Optics (AMO) in the first quarter of 2017 for $4.4 billion resulted in a significant increase in intangible assets and goodwill. Intangible assets increased by $2.6 billion and goodwill increased by $2.0 billion on a preliminary purchase price allocation basis.

The expiration of REMICADE® patents in certain European countries has led to biosimilar competition, resulting in reduced sales. The U.S. market is also facing increasing biosimilar competition with FDA approvals for infliximab biosimilars, which will likely further reduce REMICADE® sales. The company continues to assert its patent rights.

The Medical Devices segment showed strong growth of 3.0% year-over-year, driven by the acquisition of AMO and robust performance in Vision Care. The company is also implementing restructuring actions in this segment expected to yield significant cost savings, which should support future profitability.

The company's debt increased to $32.4 billion from $23.3 billion year-over-year, primarily due to new borrowings to fund general corporate purposes, including the AMO acquisition and share repurchases. Cash and cash equivalents stood at $20.9 billion, with significant marketable securities, providing ample liquidity. The company also announced a large acquisition of Actelion Ltd., which it plans to finance using cash held by foreign subsidiaries.
