Note 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (which may be referred to as Bristol-Myers Squibb, BMS or the Company) prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (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 Form 10-Q. These consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K (2014 Form 10-K).

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 and assumptions. The most significant assumptions are employed in estimates used in determining the fair value and potential impairment of intangible assets; sales rebate and return accruals; legal contingencies; income taxes; estimated selling prices used in multiple element arrangements; and pension and postretirement benefits. Actual results may differ from estimated results.

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Pension settlements and amortization previously presented in Other in the consolidated statements of cash flows are now presented separately.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs. The new guidance requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a reduction to the carrying value of debt in the balance sheet, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance becomes effective on January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard related to revenue recognition, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The new standard will replace most of the existing revenue recognition standards in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date by one year to January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than 2017. The new standard can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the change recognized at the date of the initial application in retained earnings. The Company is assessing the potential impact of the new standard on financial reporting and has not yet selected a transition method.

In April 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance on the use and presentation of discontinued operations in an entity's consolidated financial statements. The new guidance restricts the presentation of discontinued operations to business circumstances when the disposal of business operations represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The guidance became effective on January 1, 2015.

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. Segment information 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.

See "—Note 3. Alliances" for further information on the diabetes business divestiture.

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. Several key products such as Abilify*, Orencia, Sprycel, Sustiva (Atripla*), Eliquis, Erbitux* and Opdivo, as well as products comprising the diabetes alliance discussed in the 2014 Form 10-K and certain mature and other brands are included in alliance arrangements.

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.

BMS entered into certain licensing and alliance agreements in 2015 (including options to license or acquire the related assets) which individually did not materially impact the consolidated financial statements. Upfront payments for these new agreements charged to research and development expenses were $266 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 (including $86 million in the third quarter of 2015). The prior period amounts disclosed in research and development expenses for upfront payments to alliance partners were revised to include similar type of payments.

Specific information pertaining to each of our significant alliances is discussed in our 2014 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015 are set forth below.

AstraZeneca

In February 2014, BMS and AstraZeneca terminated their alliance agreements and BMS sold to AstraZeneca substantially all of the diabetes business comprising the alliance. The divestiture included the shares of Amylin and the resulting transfer of its Ohio manufacturing facility; the intellectual property related to Onglyza*/Kombiglyze* and Farxiga*/Xigduo* (including BMS's interest in the out-licensing agreement for Onglyza* in Japan); and the purchase of BMS’s manufacturing facility located in Mount Vernon, Indiana in the third quarter of 2015. Amylin's portfolio of products included Bydureon*, Byetta*, Symlin* and Myalept*. Substantially all employees dedicated to the diabetes business were transferred to AstraZeneca. The sale of the business has been completed in all jurisdictions.

The stock and asset purchase agreement contains multiple elements to be delivered subsequent to the closing of the transaction, including the China diabetes business that was part of the alliance (transferred during the third quarter of 2014), the Mount Vernon, Indiana manufacturing facility (transferred during the third quarter of 2015) and the activities under the development and supply agreements. Each of these elements was determined to have a standalone value. As a result, a portion of the consideration received at closing was allocated to the undelivered elements using the relative selling price method after determining the best estimated selling price for each element. The remaining amount of consideration was included in the calculation for the gain on sale of the diabetes business. Contingent milestone and royalty payments are similarly allocated among the underlying elements if and when the amounts are determined to be payable to BMS. Amounts allocated to the sale of the business are immediately recognized in the results of operations. Amounts allocated to the other elements are recognized in the results of operations only to the extent each element has been delivered.

BMS received proceeds of $179 million in the third quarter of 2015 for the transfer of the Mount Vernon, Indiana manufacturing facility and related inventories resulting in a gain of $79 million for the amounts allocated to the delivered elements. In September 2015, BMS transferred a percentage of its future royalty rights on Amylin net product sales (Bydureon*, Byetta*, Symlin* and Myalept*) in the U.S. to CPPIB Credit Europe S.A.R.L., a Luxembourg private limited liability company (CPPIB). The transferred rights represent approximately 70% of potential future royalties BMS is entitled to in 2019 to 2025. In exchange for the transfer, BMS will receive an additional tiered-based royalty on Amylin net product sales in the U.S. from CPPIB in 2016 through 2018, which will be included in other income when earned.

Otsuka

As described in the 2014 Form 10-K, BMS receives a share of U.S. net sales of Abilify* based on a tiered structure and recognizes revenues based on the expected annual contractual share using a forecast of net sales for the year (50% in 2015 and 33% in 2014). BMS's U.S. commercialization rights to Abilify* expired on April 20, 2015. In February 2015, BMS terminated the co-promotion agreement with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Otsuka) in Japan only with respect to Sprycel. The termination is not expected to have a material impact on future results.

Lilly

BMS had an Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) commercialization agreement with Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) through Lilly’s subsidiary ImClone for the co-development and promotion of Erbitux* in the U.S., Canada and Japan. Under the EGFR agreement, both parties actively participated in a joint executive committee and various other operating committees and shared responsibilities for research and development using resources in their own infrastructures. With respect to Erbitux*, Lilly manufactured bulk requirements for cetuximab in its own facilities and filling and finishing was performed by a third party for which BMS had oversight responsibility. BMS had exclusive distribution rights in North America and was responsible for promotional efforts in North America although Lilly had the right to co-promote in the U.S. at their own expense. BMS was the principal in third-party customer sales in North America and paid Lilly a distribution fee for 39% of Erbitux* net sales in North America plus a share of certain royalties paid by Lilly. BMS’s rights and obligations with respect to the commercialization of Erbitux* in North America would have expired in September 2018.

In October 2015, BMS transferred its rights to Erbitux* in North America to Lilly in exchange for future royalties as described below. The transferred rights include, but are not limited to, full commercialization and manufacturing responsibilities. The transaction will be accounted for as a business divestiture in the fourth quarter and result in a non-cash charge of approximately $170 million for intangible assets directly related to the business and an allocation of goodwill.

BMS will receive royalties through September 2018, which will be included in other income when earned. The royalty rates applicable to North America are 38% on Erbitux* net sales up to $165 million in 2015, $650 million in 2016, $650 million in 2017 and $480 million in 2018, plus 20% on net sales in excess of those amounts in each of the respective years.

BMS shared rights to Erbitux* in Japan under an agreement with Lilly and Merck KGaA and received 50% of the pre-tax profit from Merck KGaA’s net sales of Erbitux* in Japan which was further shared equally with Lilly. BMS transferred its co-commercialization rights in Japan to Merck KGaA in the second quarter of 2015 in exchange for future royalties through 2032 which is included in other income when earned.

Pfizer

As described in the 2014 Form 10-K, BMS has an alliance with Pfizer, Inc. (Pfizer) to co-develop and co-promote Eliquis in most countries on a worldwide basis. BMS transferred full commercialization rights to Pfizer in certain smaller markets effective in the third quarter of 2015 in order to simplify operations. BMS will supply the product to Pfizer at cost plus a percentage of the net sales to end-customers in these markets. This change in the alliance arrangement is not expected to impact our pre-tax income. BMS retained co-promotional rights in the U.S., significant markets in Europe, as well as Canada, Australia, China, Japan and South Korea.

The Medicines Company

As described in the 2014 Form 10-K, BMS had an alliance with The Medicines Company for Recothrom on a global basis. The Medicines Company exercised its option to acquire the business for $132 million, resulting in a gain of $59 million (including $35 million fair value of the option) in February 2015.

Valeant

As described in the 2014 Form 10-K, BMS had an alliance with Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (Valeant) for certain mature brands in Europe. Valeant exercised its option to acquire the business for $61 million, resulting in a gain of $88 million (including $34 million fair value of the option) in January 2015.

Reckitt

As described in the 2014 Form 10-K, BMS has an alliance with Reckitt Benckiser Group plc (Reckitt) covering certain BMS over-the-counter products sold primarily in Mexico and Brazil. In July 2015, Reckitt notified BMS that it was exercising its option to acquire all remaining rights in such products for those markets, the related inventory and BMS's manufacturing facility located in Mexico at a price determined primarily based upon a multiple of sales from May 2014 through May 2016. The closing is expected to occur in May 2016 subject to obtaining customary regulatory approvals. During 2015, a $123 million credit was included in other income (including $87 million in the third quarter of 2015) to decrease the fair value of the option due to the strengthening of the U.S dollar against local currencies. The anticipated proceeds are expected to approximate the fair value of the assets to be transferred.

Promedior

In September 2015, BMS purchased a warrant that gives BMS the exclusive right to acquire Promedior, Inc. (Promedior), a biotechnology company whose lead asset, PRM-151, is being developed for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and myelofibrosis (MF). The warrant is exercisable upon completion of the IPF or MF Phase II clinical studies being conducted by Promedior, which is expected to occur in 2017. The upfront payment allocated to the warrant was $84 million and included in research and development expenses in the third quarter of 2015. The remaining $66 million of the $150 million upfront payment was allocated to Promedior’s obligation to complete the Phase II studies which will be amortized over the expected period of the Phase II studies. The allocation was determined using level 3 inputs. Following BMS's review of the Phase II clinical study results, if BMS elects to exercise the warrant it will be obligated to pay an additional $300 million (if based on the IPF study results) or $250 million (if based on the MF study results), plus additional aggregate consideration of up to $800 million for contingent development and regulatory approval milestone payments in the U.S. and Europe.

Note 4. ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER DIVESTITURES

In April 2015, BMS acquired all of the outstanding shares of Flexus Biosciences, Inc. (Flexus), a privately held biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of novel anti-cancer therapeutics. The acquisition provides BMS with full rights to F001287, a preclinical small molecule IDO1-inhibitor targeted immunotherapy. In addition, BMS acquired Flexus' IDO/TDO discovery program which includes its IDO-selective, IDO/TDO dual and TDO-selective compounds. The consideration includes an upfront payment of $800 million (plus acquisition costs) and contingent development and regulatory milestone payments up to $450 million. No significant Flexus processes were acquired, therefore the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition because Flexus was determined not to be a business as that term is defined in ASC 805 - Business Combinations. The consideration was allocated to F001287 and the IDO/TDO discovery program resulting in $800 million of research and development expenses and to net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards resulting in $14 million of deferred tax assets.

In addition to transactions discussed in "—Note 3. Alliances", BMS divested the Ixempra* business and several other businesses or product lines in 2015. These transactions generated net proceeds of $121 million resulting in pre-tax gains of $136 million (including a $40 million deferred gain from 2014). Additional contingent proceeds will be recognized in earnings when received. Revenues and pre-tax earnings related to these businesses were not material.

Note 5. ASSETS HELD-FOR-SALE

Assets held-for-sale were related to the Erbitux* business in North America comprising an alliance with Lilly and the business comprising an alliance with Reckitt at September 30, 2015 and to the businesses comprising alliances with The Medicines Company and Valeant at December 31, 2014. The allocation of goodwill was based on the relative fair value of the applicable businesses to the Company's reporting unit.

Restructuring charges included termination benefits for workforce reductions of manufacturing, selling, administrative, and research and development personnel across all geographic regions of approximately 60 and 360 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and approximately 685 and 760 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Employee termination costs in the aggregate of approximately $100 million are expected to be incurred in 2015 primarily related to specialty care transformation initiatives designed to create a more simplified organization across all functions and geographic markets. Subject to local regulations, costs will not be recognized until completion of discussions with works councils.

%

The effective tax rate is typically lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily because of undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries 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. 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.

The effective tax rates were also impacted by discrete items, particularly research and development charges resulting from acquisitions not deductible for tax purposes including $800 million for Flexus in the second quarter of 2015 and $148 million for iPierian in the second quarter of 2014. Other discrete items include the tax impact resulting from several business divestitures in both periods, including the diabetes business in 2014.

BMS is currently being audited by a number of tax authorities and significant disputes may arise related to issues such as transfer pricing, certain tax credits and the deductibility of certain expenses. BMS estimates that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2015 could decrease in the range of approximately $280 million to $340 million in the next twelve months as a result of the settlement of certain tax audits and other events resulting in the payment of additional taxes, the adjustment of certain deferred taxes and/or the 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 believes that it has adequately provided for all open tax years by tax jurisdiction.

Cash Flow Hedges — Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge forecasted intercompany inventory purchase transactions, primarily in non-U.S. markets, as well as hedge other foreign currency transactions. The effective portion of changes in fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges are temporarily reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss and included in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The net gains on foreign currency forward contracts are expected to be reclassified to net earnings (primarily included in cost of products sold) within the next two years. The notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was primarily attributed to the euro ($478 million) and the Japanese yen ($734 million) at September 30, 2015. The fair value of a foreign currency forward contract attributed to the Japanese yen (notional amount of $445 million) not designated as a cash flow hedge was $2 million and was included in accrued expenses at September 30, 2015.

In 2015, BMS entered into $750 million of forward starting interest rate contracts maturing in March 2017 to hedge the variability of probable forecasted interest expense. The contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with the effective portion of fair value changes included in other comprehensive income.

The earnings impact related to discontinued cash flow hedges and hedge ineffectiveness was not significant during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued when the forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring on the originally forecasted date, or 60 days thereafter, or when the hedge is no longer effective. Assessments to determine whether derivatives designated as qualifying hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items are performed at inception and on a quarterly basis. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value is included in current period earnings.

Net Investment Hedges — Non-U.S. dollar borrowings of €950 million ($1,064 million) are designated to hedge the foreign currency exposures of the net investment in certain foreign affiliates. These borrowings are designated as net investment hedges and included in long-term debt. The effective portion of foreign exchange gains or losses on the remeasurement of the debt is included in the foreign currency translation component of accumulated other comprehensive loss with the related offset in long-term debt.

Fair Value Hedges — Fixed-to-floating interest rate swap contracts are designated as fair value hedges and are used as part of an interest rate risk management strategy to create an appropriate balance of fixed and floating rate debt. The swaps and underlying debt for the benchmark risk being hedged are recorded at fair value. When the underlying swap is terminated prior to maturity, the fair value basis adjustment to the underlying debt instrument is amortized into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt.

The notional amount of fixed-to-floating interest rate swap contracts terminated in 2015 was $147 million, generating proceeds of $28 million (including accrued interest of $1 million). Additional contracts were terminated in connection with debt redemptions in 2015.

The fair value of debt was $6,935 million at September 30, 2015 and $8,045 million at December 31, 2014 and was valued using Level 2 inputs. Interest payments were $158 million and $131 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, net of amounts related to interest rate swap contracts.

In May 2015, BMS issued senior unsecured notes in a registered public offering. The notes rank equally in right of payment with all of BMS's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. BMS may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time at a predetermined redemption price. BMS also terminated forward starting interest rate swap contracts entered into during 2015, resulting in an unrealized loss in OCI. The following table summarizes the note issuances:
