Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Johnson & Johnson’s other publicly available documents contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Management and representatives of Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries (the Company) also may from time to time make forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and reflect management’s assumptions, views, plans, objectives and projections about the future. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “plans,” “expects,” “will,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” and other words of similar meaning in conjunction with, among other things: discussions of future operations, expected operating results, financial performance; impact of planned acquisitions and dispositions; impact and timing of restructuring initiatives including associated cost savings and other benefits; the Company’s strategy for growth; product development activities; regulatory approvals; market position and expenditures.
Because forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding future events, they are subject to uncertainties, risks and changes that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company’s control. Investors should realize that if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, the Company’s actual results and financial condition could vary materially from expectations and projections expressed or implied in its forward-looking statements. Investors are therefore cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
Risks related to product development, market success and competition
•
Challenges and uncertainties inherent in innovation and development of new and improved products and technologies on which the Company’s continued growth and success depend, including uncertainty of clinical outcomes, additional analysis of existing clinical data, obtaining regulatory approvals, health plan coverage and customer access, and initial and continued commercial success;
•
Challenges to the Company’s ability to secure and maintain adequate patent and other intellectual property rights for new and existing products and technologies in the United States and other important markets;
•
The impact of patent expirations, typically followed by the introduction of competing generic, biosimilar or other products and resulting revenue and market share losses;
•
Increasingly aggressive and frequent challenges to the Company’s patents by competitors and others seeking to launch competing generic, biosimilar or other products and increased receptivity of courts, the United States Patent and Trademark Office and other decision makers to such challenges, potentially resulting in loss of market exclusivity and rapid decline in sales for the relevant product sooner than expected;
•
Competition in research and development of new and improved products, processes and technologies, which can result in product and process obsolescence;
•
Competition to reach agreement with third parties for collaboration, licensing, development and marketing agreements for products and technologies;
•
Competition based on cost-effectiveness, product performance, technological advances and patents attained by competitors; and
•
Allegations that the Company’s products infringe the patents and other intellectual property rights of third parties, which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to sell the products in question and require the payment of money damages and future royalties.
Risks related to product liability, litigation and regulatory activity
•
Product efficacy or safety concerns, whether or not based on scientific evidence, potentially resulting in product withdrawals, recalls, regulatory action on the part of the United States Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) (or international counterparts), declining sales, reputational damage, increased litigation expense and share price impact;
•
The impact, including declining sales and reputational damage, of significant litigation or government action adverse to the Company, including product liability claims and allegations related to pharmaceutical marketing practices and contracting strategies;
•
The impact of an adverse judgment or settlement and the adequacy of reserves related to legal proceedings, including patent litigation, product liability, personal injury claims, securities class actions, government investigations, employment and other legal proceedings;
•
Increased scrutiny of the healthcare industry by government agencies and state attorneys general resulting in investigations and prosecutions, which carry the risk of significant civil and criminal penalties, including, but not limited to, debarment from government business;
•
Failure to meet compliance obligations in compliance agreements with governments or government agencies, which could result in significant sanctions;
•
Potential changes to applicable laws and regulations affecting United States and international operations, including relating to: approval of new products; licensing and patent rights; sales and promotion of healthcare products; access to, and reimbursement and pricing for, healthcare products and services; environmental protection; and sourcing of raw materials;
•
Compliance with local regulations and laws that may restrict the Company’s ability to manufacture or sell its products in relevant markets, including requirements to comply with medical device reporting regulations and other requirements such as the European Union’s Medical Devices Regulation;
•
Changes in domestic and international tax laws and regulations, increasing audit scrutiny by tax authorities around the world may cause exposures to additional tax liabilities potentially in excess of existing reserves; and
•
The issuance of new or revised accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and regulations by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Risks related to the Company’s strategic initiatives, healthcare market trends and the planned separation of the Company's Orthopaedics Business
•
Pricing pressures resulting from trends toward healthcare cost containment, including the continued consolidation among healthcare providers and other market participants, trends toward managed care, the shift toward governments increasingly becoming the primary payors of healthcare expenses, significant new entrants to the healthcare markets seeking to reduce costs and government pressure on companies to voluntarily reduce costs and price increases;
•
Restricted spending patterns of individual, institutional and governmental purchasers of healthcare products and services due to economic hardship and budgetary constraints;
•
Challenges to the Company’s ability to realize its strategy for growth including through externally sourced innovations, such as development collaborations, strategic acquisitions, licensing and marketing agreements, and the potential heightened costs of any such external arrangements due to competitive pressures;
•
The potential that the expected strategic benefits and opportunities from any planned or completed acquisition or divestiture by the Company may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected;
•
The potential that the expected benefits and opportunities related to past and ongoing restructuring actions may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected.
•
The Company’s ability to satisfy the necessary conditions to consummate the planned separation of the Company’s Orthopaedics business on a timely basis or at all;
•
The Company’s ability to successfully separate the Company’s Orthopaedics business and realize the anticipated benefits from the planned separation; and
•
The structure of the separation transaction and the future operating and financial performance, market position and business strategy for each company.
Risks related to economic conditions, financial markets and operating internationally
•
The risks associated with global operations on the Company and its customers and suppliers, including foreign governments in countries in which the Company operates;
•
The impact of inflation and fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates and the potential effect of such fluctuations on revenues, expenses and resulting margins;
•
Potential changes in export/import and trade laws, regulations and policies of the United States and other countries, including any increased trade restrictions or tariffs and potential drug reimportation legislation, and the impact of such changes on raw material prices, supply chains market volatility and the pace of product development;
•
The impact on international operations from financial instability in international economies, sovereign risk, possible imposition of governmental controls and restrictive economic policies, and unstable international governments and legal systems;
•
The impact of global public health crises and pandemics;
•
Changes to global climate, extreme weather and natural disasters that could affect demand for the Company’s products and services, cause disruptions in manufacturing and distribution networks, alter the availability of goods and services within the supply chain, and affect the overall design and integrity of the Company’s products and operations;
•
The impact of global or economic changes or events, including global tensions and war; and
•
The impact of armed conflicts and terrorist attacks in the United States and other parts of the world, including social and economic disruptions and instability of financial and other markets.
Risks related to supply chain and operations
•
Difficulties and delays in manufacturing, internally, through third-party providers or otherwise within the supply chain, that may lead to voluntary or involuntary business interruptions or shutdowns, product shortages, withdrawals or suspensions of products from the market, and potential regulatory action;
•
Interruptions and breaches of the Company’s information technology systems or those of the Company’s vendors, which could result in reputational, competitive, operational or other business harm as well as financial costs and regulatory action;
•
Reliance on global supply chains and production and distribution processes that are complex and subject to increasing regulatory requirements that may adversely affect supply, sourcing and pricing of materials used in the Company’s products; and
•
The potential that the expected benefits and opportunities related to restructuring actions may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected, including due to any required approvals from applicable regulatory authorities.
Investors also should carefully read the Risk Factors described in Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, for a description of certain risks that could, among other things, cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in its forward-looking statements. Investors should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the risks described above to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. The Company does not undertake to publicly update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information or future events or developments.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
ASU 2025-07: Derivates and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (TOPIC 606)
Effective beginning fiscal year 2026, the Company prospectively adopted the amended guidance issued by the FASB that adds a scope exception to exclude from derivative accounting non-exchange-traded contracts with variables (underlyings) that are based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. The adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
There were no new material accounting standards issued in the fiscal first quarter of 2026.

 billion and $
0.8

Fair value measurements
The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposure to the variability of cash flows, primarily related to the foreign exchange rate changes of future intercompany product and third-party purchases of materials denominated in a foreign currency. The Company uses cross currency interest rate swaps to manage currency risk primarily related to borrowings. Both types of derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges.
Additionally, the Company uses interest rate swaps as an instrument to manage interest rate risk related to fixed rate borrowings. These derivatives are designated as fair value hedges. The Company uses cross currency interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts designated as net investment hedges. Additionally, the Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to offset its exposure to certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. These forward foreign exchange contracts are not designated as hedges, and therefore, changes in the fair values of these derivatives are recognized in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency assets and liabilities.
The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, or that contain credit risk related contingent features. The Company maintains credit support agreements (CSA) with certain derivative counterparties establishing collateral thresholds based on respective credit ratings and netting agreements. As of March 29, 2026, the cumulative amount of cash collateral paid by the Company under the CSA amounted to $
4.7
billion net, related to net investment and cash flow hedges. On an ongoing basis, the Company monitors counter-party credit ratings. The Company considers credit non-performance risk to be low because the Company primarily enters into agreements with commercial institutions that have at least an investment grade credit rating. Refer to the table on significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value contained in this footnote for receivables and payables with these commercial institutions. As of March 29, 2026, the Company had notional amounts outstanding for forward foreign exchange contracts, cross currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps of $
43.9
 billion, $
37.9
 billion and $
8.0
 billion, respectively. As of December 28, 2025, the Company had notional amounts outstanding for forward foreign exchange contracts, cross currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps of $
40.6
billion, $
38.9
billion and $
8.0
billion, respectively.
All derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction, and if so, the type of hedge transaction.
The designation as a cash flow hedge is made at the entrance date of the derivative contract. At inception, all derivatives are expected to be highly effective. Foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges are accounted for under the forward method and all gains/losses associated with these contracts will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged item impacts earnings. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction affects earnings and are then reclassified to earnings in the same account as the hedged transaction.
Gains and losses associated with interest rate swaps and changes in fair value of hedged debt attributable to changes in interest rates are recorded to interest expense in the period in which they occur. Gains and losses on net investment hedges are accounted for through the currency translation account within accumulated other comprehensive income. The portion excluded from effectiveness testing is recorded through interest (income) expense using the spot method. On an ongoing basis, the Company assesses whether each derivative continues to be highly effective in offsetting changes of hedged items. If and when a derivative is no longer expected to be highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued.
The Company designated its Euro denominated notes with due dates ranging from 2028 to 2055 as a net investment hedge of the Company's investments in certain of its international subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency in order to reduce the volatility caused by changes in exchange rates.
As of March 29, 2026, the balance of deferred net loss on derivatives included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $
0.6
 billion after-tax. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Note 7. The Company expects that substantially all of the amounts related to forward foreign exchange contracts will be reclassified into earnings over the next 12 months as a result of transactions that are expected to occur over that period. The maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging transaction exposure is
18
months, excluding interest rate contracts and net investment hedge contracts. The amount ultimately realized in earnings may differ as foreign exchange rates change. Realized gains and losses are ultimately determined by actual exchange rates at maturity of the derivative.

Fair value is the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is a market-based measurement determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. In accordance with ASC 820, a three-level hierarchy was established to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The levels within the hierarchy are described below with Level 1 inputs having the highest priority and Level 3 inputs having the lowest.
The fair value of a derivative financial instrument (i.e., forward foreign exchange contracts, interest rate contracts) is the aggregation by currency of all future cash flows discounted to its present value at the prevailing market interest rates and subsequently converted to the U.S. Dollar at the current spot foreign exchange rate. The Company does not believe that fair values of these derivative instruments materially differ from the amounts that could be realized upon settlement or maturity, or that the changes in fair value will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position. The Company also holds equity investments which are classified as Level 1 and debt securities which are classified as Level 2. The Company holds acquisition related contingent liabilities based upon certain regulatory and commercial events, which are classified as Level 3, whose values are determined using discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimations.
The following three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs.
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs.

Acquisitions, divestitures and other arrangements

Business combinations
Acquisitions of a business are accounted for as business combinations applying the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets, where applicable, is recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of these acquisitions have been included in the Company’s financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.
In the fiscal first quarter of 2026, there were no material business combinations.
2025 Transactions
During the fiscal year 2025, the Company acquired Halda Therapeutics OpCo, Inc. (Halda Therapeutics) and Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. (Intra-Cellular) for a total of $
17.5
 billion, net of cash acquired.
Halda Therapeutics
On December 26, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Halda Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company with proprietary Regulated Induced Proximity TArgeting Chimera (RIPTAC
TM
) platform to develop oral, targeting therapies for multiple types of solid tumors, including prostate cancer, in an all-cash merger transaction for total consideration transferred of approximately $
3.05
 billion, net of cash acquired. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the results of operations and goodwill are included in the Innovative Medicine segment as of the acquisition date. Included in the total consideration transferred was $
0.2
 billion of acquisition-related costs, primarily related to post-closing compensation expense due to the acceleration of equity awards. This expense was recorded in Other (income) expense, net. Acquisition related costs before tax for the fiscal first quarter of 2026 were not material.
The fair value of the assets acquired is $
3.4
 billion, which primarily relates to acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) of $
2.8
 billion and goodwill of $
0.6
 billion. The fair value of the liabilities assumed is $
0.6
 billion, primarily related to deferred taxes. These values are preliminary and based on the best estimate of management, which is subject to change within the measurement period. As of the fiscal first quarter ended March 29, 2026, there have been no material measurement period adjustments.
Intra-Cellular
On April 2, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Intra-Cellular, a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of therapeutics for central nervous system disorders. This acquisition advances the Company’s industry-leading portfolio in mental health with the addition of CAPLYTA (lumateperone), the first and only U.S. FDA-approved treatment for bipolar I and II depression as an adjunctive therapy and monotherapy and is also approved for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. This acquisition also includes a promising clinical-stage pipeline with best-in-class potential in generalized anxiety disorder and Alzheimer’s disease-related psychosis and agitation.
The Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Intra-Cellular’s common stock for $
132.00
per share in an all-cash merger transaction for total consideration transferred of $
14.5
 billion. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the results of operations and goodwill are included in the Innovative Medicine segment as of the acquisition date. In addition, acquisition-related costs before tax incurred during the fiscal year 2025 were $
0.4
 billion, of which $
0.1
 billion related to post-closing compensation expense due to the acceleration of equity awards and were recorded to Other (income) expense, net. Acquisition related costs before tax for the fiscal first quarter of 2026 were not material.
Form 10-Q 25

Table of Contents
The fair value of the assets acquired is $
17.5
 billion, which primarily relates to acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) of $
8.3
 billion, an amortizable intangible asset of $
5.2
 billion, goodwill of $
2.9
 billion and other current and non-current assets of $
1.1
 billion. The fair value of the liabilities assumed is $
3.0
 billion, primarily related to deferred taxes. As of the fiscal first quarter ended March 29, 2026, there have been no material measurement period adjustments. During the fiscal fourth quarter of 2025, the U.S. FDA approved CAPLYTA as an adjunctive therapy with anti-depressants for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adults. This IPR&D asset was reclassified to a definite lived asset and began amortizing in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2025.
Asset acquisitions
If it is determined that the acquired set does not meet the definition of a business under the acquisition method of accounting, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. In this case, no goodwill is recorded, acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) with no alternative future use is immediately recorded as research and development expense and contingent consideration is recorded when the related event occurs.
In the fiscal first quarters of 2026 and 2025, there were no material asset acquisitions.
Divestitures
In the fiscal first quarters of 2026 and 2025, there were no material divestitures.
Other arrangements
In the fiscal first quarter of 2026, the Company entered into a co-funding agreement with Royalty Pharma plc. (Royalty Pharma) under which the Company will receive up to a total of $
0.5
 billion during the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to support the clinical development of JNJ-4804, a co-antibody therapy in development to treat chronic immune-mediated diseases. As there is a substantive and genuine transfer of risk to Royalty Pharma, the development funding will be recognized as an obligation to perform contractual services. Accordingly, the funding the Company receives will be recognized as a reduction to research & development expense as the Company performs its contractual services
.
If successful, upon regulatory approval of certain indications in the U.S. or other major markets, Royalty Pharma will receive approval-based fixed milestone payments up to approximately $
0.5
 billion and will also be eligible to receive sales-based milestone payments and low-single digit royalties based on commercial sales.

Note 11 —
Legal proceedings
Johnson & Johnson and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits and claims regarding product liability; intellectual property; commercial; indemnification and other matters; governmental investigations; and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of their business.
The Company records accruals for loss contingencies associated with these legal matters when it is probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of March 29, 2026, the Company has determined that the liabilities associated with certain litigation matters are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company has accrued for these matters and will continue to monitor each related legal issue and adjust accruals as might be warranted based on new information and further developments in accordance with ASC 450-20-25. For these and other litigation and regulatory matters discussed below for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, the Company is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss beyond the amounts accrued. Amounts accrued for legal contingencies often result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties that rely heavily on estimates and assumptions including timing of related payments. The ability to make such estimates and judgments can be affected by various factors including, among other things, whether damages sought in the proceedings are unsubstantiated or indeterminate; scientific and legal discovery has not commenced or is not complete; proceedings are in early stages; matters present legal uncertainties; there are significant facts in dispute; procedural or jurisdictional issues; the uncertainty and unpredictability of the number of potential claims; ability to achieve comprehensive multi-party settlements; complexity of related cross-claims and counterclaims; and/or there are numerous parties involved. To the extent adverse awards, judgments or verdicts have been rendered against the Company, the Company does not record an accrual until a loss is determined to be probable and can be reasonably estimated.
In the Company’s opinion, based on its examination of these matters, its experience to date and discussions with counsel, the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, net of liabilities accrued in the Company’s balance sheet, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. However, the resolution of, or increase in accruals for, one or more of these
matters in any reporting period may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for that period.
Matters concerning talc
As of March 29, 2026, there are approximately
75,000
plaintiffs in the United States with direct claims against the Company and its affiliates in pending lawsuits regarding injuries allegedly due to use of body powders containing talc, primarily JOHNSON’S Baby Powder.
In talc cases that have gone to trial, the Company has obtained a number of defense verdicts, but there also have been verdicts against the Company, many of which have been reversed on appeal. The Company continues to believe that it has strong legal grounds to contest all the talc verdicts that it has appealed. Notwithstanding the Company’s confidence in the safety of its talc products, in certain circumstances the Company has settled cases.
In an effort to expeditiously resolve the litigation for the overwhelming majority of claimants, beginning in October 2021, the Company underwent a series of corporate restructurings which ultimately resulted in two entities, Red River Talc, LLC (Red River) and Pecos River Talc LLC (Pecos River), being assigned all liabilities related in any way to injury or damage, or alleged injury or damage, sustained or incurred in the purchase or use of, or exposure to, talc, including talc contained in any product, or to the risk of, or responsibility for, any such damage or injury, except for any liabilities for which the exclusive remedy is provided under a workers’ compensation statute or act. As a result of the restructurings, all claims in North America related to ovarian and other gynecological cancers were separated and allocated to Red River, and mesothelioma, governmental unit and certain other claims in North America were allocated to Pecos River. In connection with these restructurings, the Company filed a series of three Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. Ultimately, each of the bankruptcy proceedings was dismissed and, as a result, the Company reversed substantially all, or approximately $
7.0
 billion, from amounts previously reserved for the bankruptcy resolution in the fiscal first quarter of 2025. Litigation in the tort system recommenced.
As of the first quarter of 2026, the total present value of the reserve for talc related matters is approximately $
3.4
 billion, comprising previously executed settlement agreements, litigation defense and other costs. Approximately one-third of the reserve is recorded as a current liability.
As in years prior, both ovarian cancer and mesothelioma trials are being scheduled in various state courts throughout 2026 and beyond. In the ovarian cancer multi-district litigation in New Jersey, the court is addressing the Company's Daubert motions related to general causation, specific causation, and certain asbestos testing methods. In January 2026, the Special Master issued her Report and Recommendation related to general causation, excluding certain opinions by plaintiff experts, but also allowing other opinions to proceed. The Company has filed an appeal of the Report and Recommendation to the District Court. The remaining Daubert motions are expected to be decided in 2026. The Company also faces litigation in Canada.
In February 2018, a securities class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain named officers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that the Company violated the federal securities laws by failing to disclose alleged asbestos contamination in body powders containing talc, primarily JOHNSON’S Baby Powder, and that purchasers of the Company’s shares suffered losses as a result. In April 2019, the Company moved to dismiss the complaint. In December 2019, the court denied, in part, the motion to dismiss. In December 2023, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. In July 2025, the Third Circuit affirmed the court's order granting class certification. In September 2025, the Company petitioned the Third Circuit for rehearing or rehearing en banc, which was denied in October 2025. In February 2026, the Company filed a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court regarding the Third Circuit’s decision, which the Supreme Court denied in April 2026.
In February 2019, the Company’s talc supplier, Imerys Talc America, Inc., and two of its affiliates, Imerys Talc Vermont, Inc. and Imerys Talc Canada, Inc. (collectively, Imerys), filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. In February 2021, Cyprus Mines Corporation (Cyprus), which sold certain talc mines and assets to Imerys, filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Delaware Bankruptcy Court. In July 2024, the Company, Imerys, and Cyprus and certain of their affiliates (including their parent entities), and the tort claimants' committees and future claimants' representatives appointed in the Imerys debtors' and Cyprus debtors' respective Chapter 11 cases, entered into a global settlement agreement (the Imerys Settlement Agreement) to resolve the parties' ongoing disputes, including disputes raised in the Imerys and Cyprus bankruptcies regarding (i) the Company's alleged obligations to indemnify Imerys and Cyprus for personal injury claims allegedly caused by exposure to talc contained in the Company's products and (ii) entitlements to proceeds of certain of the Company's insurance policies. In October 2024, the Delaware Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Imerys Settlement Agreement (the Settlement Order). Certain insurers have appealed the Settlement Order and sought a stay of the Settlement Order pending appeal, which the Delaware Bankruptcy Court denied in January 2025. In August 2025, the District Court denied the insurers' appeal of the Settlement Order. The insurers have appealed that decision to the Third Circuit.
Intellectual property
Certain subsidiaries of the Company are subject, from time to time, to legal proceedings and claims related to patent, trademark and other intellectual property matters arising out of their businesses. Many of these matters involve challenges to the scope and/or validity of patents that relate to various products and allegations that certain of the Company’s products infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties. Although these subsidiaries believe that they have substantial defenses to these challenges and allegations with respect to all significant patents, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of these matters. A loss in any of these cases could adversely affect the ability of these subsidiaries to sell their products, result in loss of sales due to loss of market exclusivity, require the payment of past damages and future royalties, and may result in a non-cash impairment charge for any associated intangible asset.
The Company’s Innovative Medicine subsidiaries have brought lawsuits against generic companies that have filed ANDAs with the U.S. FDA (or similar lawsuits outside of the United States) seeking to market generic versions of products sold by various subsidiaries of the Company prior to expiration of the applicable patents covering those products. These lawsuits typically include allegations of non-infringement and/or invalidity of patents listed in FDA’s publication “Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations” (commonly known as the Orange Book). In each of these lawsuits, the Company’s subsidiaries are seeking an order enjoining the defendant from marketing a generic version of a product before the expiration of the relevant patents (Orange Book Listed Patents). In the event the Company’s subsidiaries are not successful in an action, or any automatic statutory stay expires before the court rulings are obtained, the generic companies involved would have the ability, upon regulatory approval, to introduce generic versions of their products to the market resulting in the potential for substantial market share and revenue losses for the applicable products, and which may result in a non-cash impairment charge in any associated intangible asset. In addition, from time to time, the Company’s subsidiaries may settle these types of actions and such settlements can involve the introduction of generic versions of the products at issue to the market prior to the expiration of the relevant patents.
The Inter Partes Review (IPR) process with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), created under the 2011 America Invents Act, is also being used at times by generic companies in conjunction with ANDAs and lawsuits to challenge the applicable patents.
Innovative Medicine
XARELTO
Beginning in March 2021, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Bayer Pharma AG, Bayer AG, and Bayer Intellectual Property GmbH filed patent infringement lawsuits in United States district courts against generic manufacturers who have filed ANDAs seeking approval to market generic versions of XARELTO before expiration of certain Orange Book Listed Patents. The following entities are named defendants: Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc.; Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd.; Lupin Limited; Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.; Taro Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.; Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.; Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.; Mylan Inc.; Mankind Pharma Limited; Apotex Inc.; Apotex Corp.; Cipla Ltd.; Cipla USA Inc.; InvaGen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; and Prinston Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The following U.S. patents are included in one or more cases: 9,539,218 and 10,828,310. In December 2025 and January 2026, the cases against Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc.; Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Ltd.; Lupin Limited; Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.; Taro Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.; Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.; Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.; Mylan Inc.; Mankind Pharma Limited; Apotex Inc.; Apotex Corp.; Cipla Ltd.; Cipla USA Inc.; InvaGen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; and Prinston Pharmaceuticals, Inc. were dismissed with prejudice. In January 2026, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement with Mankind Pharma Limited.
U.S. Patent No. 10,828,310 was also under consideration by the USPTO in an IPR proceeding. In July 2023, the USPTO issued a final written decision finding the claims of the patent invalid.

Acquired with Intra-Cellular Therapies on April 2, 2025
Oncology products achieved operational sales growth of 17.8% as compared to the same period a year ago. Contributors to the growth were: DARZALEX (daratumumab) driven by strong share gains and market growth partially offset by inventory dynamics, CARVYKTI (ciltacabtagene autoleucel) driven by continued share gains and site expansion, TECVAYLI (teclistamab-cqyv) driven by launch uptake and share gains from expansion in the community setting and recent U.S. TECVAYLI + DARZALEX FASPRO approval, TALVEY (talquetamab-tgvs) driven by share gains from expansion in the community setting, RYBREVANT (amivantamab)/LAZCLUZE (lazertinib) driven by launch uptake and share gains and ERLEADA (apalutamide) due to continued share gains and market growth. Growth was partially offset by IMBRUVICA (ibrutinib) share loss due to competitive pressures and unfavorable patient mix.
Immunology products experienced an operational decline of 11.8% as compared to the same period a year ago due to the sales decline of STELARA (ustekinumab) driven by the impact of biosimilar competition, increasing adoption of novel classes and unfavorable patient mix as well as declines of SIMPONI/SIMPONI ARIA and REMICADE (infliximab) driven by share loss, biosimilar competition, and unfavorable patient mix partially offset by market growth. The decline was partially offset by growth of TREMFYA (guselkumab) due to share gains across all indications with significant IBD launch momentum and market growth.
Biosimilars are pursuing regulatory approval for SIMPONI, which would likely result in a reduction in future sales, potentially in the first half of 2026 in Europe and second half of 2026 in the U.S.
Third parties have filed biologics license applications with the U.S. FDA, the European Medicines Agency, and other government authorities seeking approval to market biosimilar versions of STELARA around the globe. The Company expects continued launches of biosimilar versions of STELARA globally which will continue to negatively impact the Company’s sales of STELARA.
Neuroscience products, which include sales of CAPLYTA (lumateperone) acquired with the Intra-Cellular Therapies (Intra-Cellular) acquisition on April 2, 2025, achieved operational growth of 29.3% as compared to the same period a year ago. Growth of SPRAVATO (esketamine) was driven by continued increased physician and patient demand. Growth of INVEGA SUSTENNA / XEPLION / INVEGA TRINZA / TREVICTA was primarily driven by favorable patient mix.
Pulmonary Hypertension products achieved operational sales growth of 8.7% as compared to the same period a year ago. The sales growth of UPTRAVI (selexipag) was driven by market and share growth partially offset by inventory dynamics. The sales growth of OPSUMIT (macitentan)/OPSYNVI (macitentan/tadalafil) was driven by share gains, market growth and favorable patient mix. The Company expects generic competition for OPSUMIT in the U.S. in the second half of 2026, which would likely result in a reduction in future sales.
Infectious disease products achieved operational sales growth of 4.1% as compared to the same period a year ago. The sales growth of PREZISTA/ PREZCOBIX/ REZOLSTA/

SYMTUZA was driven by favorable patient mix.
Cardiovascular / Metabolism / Other products experienced a sales decline of 14.7% as compared to the same period a year ago. The sales decline of XARELTO (rivaroxaban) was primarily driven by continued share erosion.
The Company maintains a policy that no end customer will be permitted direct delivery of product to a location other than the billing location. This policy impacts contract pharmacy transactions involving non-grantee 340B covered entities for most of the Company’s drugs, subject to multiple exceptions. Both grantee and non-grantee covered entities can maintain certain contract pharmacy arrangements under policy exceptions. The Company has been and will continue to offer 340B discounts to covered entities on all of its covered outpatient drugs, and it believes its policy will improve its ability to identify inappropriate duplicate discounts and diversion prohibited by the 340B statute. The 340B Drug Pricing Program is a U.S. federal government program requiring drug manufacturers to provide significant discounts on covered outpatient drugs to covered entities.

The Cardiovascular franchise achieved operational sales growth of 10.5% as compared to the prior year fiscal first quarter. Electrophysiology sales growth was driven by procedure growth, commercial execution, new product performance (VARIPULSE, TRUPULSE, NUVISION and CRYSTAL) and inventory dynamics outside the U.S. partially offset by competitive pressures in Pulsed Field Ablation catheters. Abiomed sales growth was driven by the continued strong adoption of Impella 5.5 and Impella CP. Shockwave sales growth was driven by strong adoption of Coronary and Peripheral portfolios and new product launches.
The Surgery franchise achieved operational sales growth of 1.2% as compared to the prior year fiscal first quarter. The operational growth in Advanced Surgery was primarily due to the strength of the portfolio and commercial execution in Biosurgery and new product launches in Energy. This was partially offset by China volume-based procurement across all platforms and competitive pressures in Endocutters. The operational growth in General Surgery was primarily driven by technology penetration and upgrades within the differentiated Wound Closure portfolio coupled with market expansion partially offset by timing of tenders outside the U.S.
The Vision franchise achieved operational sales growth of 3.6% as compared to the prior year fiscal first quarter. The Contact Lenses/Other operational growth was driven by strong performance in the ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day family of products and strategic price actions partially offset by inventory dynamics outside the U.S. The Surgical operational growth was primarily driven by the strength of recent product innovations, robust demand and strong commercial execution partially offset by competitive pressures in the U.S.
The Orthopaedics franchise achieved operational sales growth of 3.2% as compared to the prior year fiscal first quarter. The operational growth in Hips was due to new product launches. The operational growth in Knees was driven by the strength of the ATTUNE portfolio and pull through related to the VELYS Robotic assisted solutions. The operational growth in Trauma was primarily driven by recently launched products. The operational growth in Spine, Sports & Other was driven by new product innovations and growth in shoulders partially offset by competitive pressures and inventory dynamics.

Provision for taxes on income
The worldwide effective income tax rate for the fiscal three months was 12.6% in 2026 and 19.3% in 2025.
On December 15, 2022, the European Union (EU) Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Pillar Two Framework that was supported by over 130 countries worldwide. Several EU and non-EU countries have enacted Pillar Two legislation with an initial effective date of January 1, 2024, with other aspects of the law effective in 2026 or later. While countries continue to enact new provisions or issue new regulations this could have an impact to the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company will continue to monitor further developments to determine any potential impact in the countries in which we operate, such as the recently issued administrative guidance on the side-by-side system that will fully exclude U.S. parented groups from certain provisions of the Pillar Two Framework.
For further details related to the fiscal 2026 provision for taxes refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has access to substantial sources of funds at numerous banks worldwide and has the ability to issue up to $20 billion in Commercial Paper. Furthermore, in June 2025, the Company secured a new 364-day Credit Facility of $10 billion (expiration on June 24, 2026) which may be used for general corporate purposes including to support our commercial paper borrowings. Interest charged on borrowings under the credit line agreement is based on either Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Reference Rate or other applicable market rate as allowed plus applicable margins. Commitment fees under the agreement are not material.
As of March 29, 2026, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $22.1 billion and had approximately $55.0 billion of notes payable and long-term debt for a net debt position of $32.9 billion as compared to the prior year fiscal first quarter net debt position of $13.5 billion. The Company anticipates that operating cash flows, the ability to raise funds from external sources, borrowing capacity from existing committed credit facilities and access to the commercial paper markets will continue to provide sufficient resources to fund operating needs, including the Company’s remaining balance of approximately $3.4 billion related to talc matters, $1.8 billion related to the current portion of Corporate bonds due and the remaining approximately $1.1 billion related to opioid settlements. In addition, the Company monitors the global capital markets on an ongoing basis and from time to time may raise capital when market conditions are favorable.
Dividends

Economic and market factors
In July 2023, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Janssen) filed litigation against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as well as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services challenging the constitutionality of the IRA's Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. The litigation requests a declaration that the IRA violates Janssen’s rights under the First Amendment and the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution and therefore that Janssen is not subject to the IRA’s mandatory pricing scheme. While the impact of the IRA on our business and the broader pharmaceutical industry remains uncertain, as litigation filed by Janssen and other pharmaceutical companies remains ongoing, CMS has publicly announced the maximum fair price for each of the selected drugs and has recently begun implementing the program. In December 2025, Janssen sought review by the U.S. Supreme Court of the Third Circuit's majority affirmance of the district court’s ruling in favor of the government.
The Company operates in certain countries where the economic conditions continue to present significant challenges. The Company continues to monitor these situations and take appropriate actions. Inflation rates and currency exchange rates continue to have an effect on worldwide economies and, consequently, on the way the Company operates. The Company has accounted for operations in Venezuela, Argentina, Turkey and Egypt as highly inflationary, as the prior three-year cumulative inflation rate surpassed 100%. In the face of increasing costs, the Company strives to maintain its profit margins through cost reduction programs, productivity improvements and periodic price increases.
The long-term implications of regional conflicts on the Company are difficult to predict. The financial impact of known existing conflicts in the fiscal first quarter of 2026 was not material.
Governments around the world consider various proposals to make changes to tax laws, which may include increasing or decreasing existing statutory tax rates. In connection with various government initiatives, companies are required to disclose more information to tax authorities on operations around the world, which may lead to greater audit scrutiny of profits earned in other countries. A change in statutory tax rate in any country would result in the revaluation of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities related to that particular jurisdiction in the period in which the new tax law is enacted. This change would result in an expense or benefit recorded to the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The Company closely monitors these proposals as they arise in the countries where it operates. Changes to the statutory tax rate may occur at any time, and any related expense or benefit recorded may be material to the fiscal quarter and year in which the law change is enacted.
The Company may be further impacted by the imposition of tariffs, trade protection measures or other policies adopted by any jurisdiction that favor domestic companies and technologies over foreign competitors.
The Company faces various worldwide health care changes that may continue to result in pricing pressures that include health care cost containment and government legislation relating to sales, promotions and reimbursement of health care products.
Changes in the behavior and spending patterns of purchasers of healthcare products and services, including delaying medical procedures, rationing prescription medications, reducing the frequency of physician visits and foregoing healthcare insurance coverage, may continue to impact the Company’s businesses.
The Company faces regular intellectual property challenges from third parties, including generic and biosimilar manufacturers, seeking to manufacture and market generic and biosimilar versions of key pharmaceutical products prior to the expiration of the applicable patents. These challengers file Abbreviated New Drug Applications or abbreviated Biologics License Applications with the FDA or otherwise challenged the coverage and/or validity of the Company’s patents. In the event the Company is not successful in defending the patent claims challenged in the resulting lawsuits, generic or biosimilar versions of the products at issue may be introduced to the market, resulting in the potential for substantial market share and revenue losses for those products, and which may result in a non-cash impairment charge in any associated intangible asset. There is also risk that one or more competitors could launch a generic or biosimilar version of the product at issue following regulatory approval even though one or more valid patents are in place.

Item 4 — Controls and procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures. At the end of the period covered by this report, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Joaquin Duato, Chief Executive Officer; Chairman, Executive Committee and Joseph J. Wolk, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and participated in this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, Messrs. Duato and Wolk concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Internal control. During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company continues to monitor and assess the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures.
The Company is implementing a multi-year, enterprise-wide initiative to integrate, simplify and standardize processes and systems for the human resources, information technology, procurement, supply chain and finance functions. These are enhancements to support the growth of the Company’s financial shared service capabilities and standardize financial systems. This initiative is not in response to any identified deficiency or weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In response to this initiative, the Company has and will continue to align and streamline the design and operation of its financial control environment.
