        or 9% adjusted for foreign exchange impact.
    --  U.S. revenues decreased 8% to $2.1 billion in the quarter compared to
        the same period a year ago. International revenues were flat.
    --  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 77.3% in the quarter
        compared to 71.3% in the same period a year ago. The increase is
        primarily attributable to the diabetes divestiture.
    --  Marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased 8% to $1.2
        billion in the quarter.
    --  Advertising and product promotion spending decreased 16% to $213 million
        in the quarter.
    --  Research and development expenses increased 24% to $1.2 billion in the
        quarter, primarily due to timing.
    --  The effective tax rate was 145% in the quarter, compared to 15.4% in the
        fourth quarter last year. Income taxes in the current quarter include
        net tax benefits attributed to specified items and the R&D credit for
        the full year 2014.
    --  The company reported net earnings attributable to Bristol-Myers Squibb
        of $13 million, or $0.01 per share, in the quarter compared to $726
        million, or $0.44 per share, a year ago. The results in the quarter
        include an after-tax $0.28 per share impact of a non-cash charge
        resulting from the transfer of $1.5 billion of U.S. pension obligations
        to Prudential.
    --  The company reported non-GAAP net earnings attributable to Bristol-Myers
        Squibb of $771 million, or $0.46 per share, in the fourth quarter,
        compared to $842 million, or $0.51 per share, for the same period in
        2013. An overview of specified items, including the pension-related
        charge mentioned above, is discussed under the “Use of Non-GAAP
        Financial Information” section.
    --  Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $11.8 billion,
        with a net cash position of $4.0 billion, as of December 31, 2014.

FOURTH QUARTER PRODUCT AND PIPELINE UPDATE

Bristol-Myers Squibb's global sales in the fourth quarter included Eliquis, which grew by $210 million, Yervoy, which grew 41%, Orencia, which grew 12%, Sprycel, which grew 9%, and Daklinza and Sunvepra, which had combined sales of $207 million.

Opdivo


    --  In January, the company announced that an open-label, randomized Phase 3
        study evaluating Opdivo,a human programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)
        blocking antibody, versus docetaxel in previously treated patients with
        advanced, squamous cell NSCLC was stopped early because an assessment
        conducted by the independent Data Monitoring Committee concluded that
        the study met its endpoint, demonstrating superior overall survival in
        patients receiving Opdivo compared to the control arm. The company will
        share these data – which for the first time indicate a survival
        advantage with an anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor in lung cancer –
        with health authorities.


    --  In December, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Opdivo
        injection for intravenous use. Opdivo is indicated for the treatment of
        patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma and disease
        progression following Yervoy and, if BRAF V600 mutation positive, a BRAF
        inhibitor. Opdivoreceived accelerated approval for this indication based
        on tumor response rate and durability of response. Continued approval
        for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description
        of clinical benefit in the confirmatory trials.
    --  In December, at the American Society for Hematology (ASH) annual meeting
        in San Francisco, the company announced positive results from a cohort
        of patients in CheckMate -039, its ongoing Phase 1b trial evaluating
        Opdivo in patients with relapsed or refractory hematological
        malignancies (n=23). Results showed high levels of response in patients
        with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma, with an overall
        response rate of 87% (n=20) and stable disease in 13% (n=3). The
        findings were published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
    --  In November, at the Society for Melanoma Research international congress
        in Zurich, Switzerland, the company announced results from CheckMate
        -066, a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind study, comparing Opdivoto the
        chemotherapy dacarbazine in patients with treatment-naïve BRAF wild-type
        advanced melanoma (n=418). The study met the primary endpoint of overall
        survival with the median overall survival not reached for Opdivo vs.
        10.8 months for dacarbazine. The one-year survival rate was 73% for
        Opdivo vs. 42% for dacarbazine and there was a 58% decrease in the risk
        of death for patients treated with Opdivo (hazard ratio for death: 0.42,
        P<0.0001). This survival advantage was also observed in Opdivo-treated
        patients who are positive or negative for programmed death ligand-1
        (PD-L1). The findings were published in NEJM.
    --  In October, at the Chicago Multidisciplinary Symposium on Thoracic
        Oncology, the company announced results from CheckMate -063, a Phase 2
        single-arm, open-label study of Opdivo administered as a single agent in
        patients with advanced squamous cell NSCLC who have progressed after at
        least two prior systemic treatments. Sixty-five percent of patients
        studied (n=117) received three or more prior therapies. With
        approximately 11 months of minimum follow-up, the objective response
        rate – the study’s primary endpoint – was 15% (95% CI = 8.7, 22.2) as
        assessed by an independent review committee using RECIST 1.1 criteria
        and the median duration of response was not reached. The estimated
        one-year survival rate was 41% (95% CI = 31.6, 49.7) and median overall
        survival was 8.2 months (95% CI = 6.05, 10.91).

Eliquis


    --  In December, at the ASH meeting in San Francisco, the company and its
        partner, Pfizer, announced results of the first human study evaluating
        the reversal of the anticoagulant effect of Eliquis by 4-factor
        prothrombin complex concentrates in healthy subjects. The study results
        demonstrated that both Sanquin’s Cofact, a heparin-free formulation, and
        CSL Behring’s Beriplex®P/N, a formulation containing heparin, reversed
        the steady-state pharmacodynamic effects of Eliquis.
    --  In November, the company and its partner, Pfizer, along with Portola
        Pharmaceuticals announced results from the first part of the Phase 3
        ANNEXA™-A studies for Andexanet alfa, Portola’s investigational
        anti-Factor Xa agent to reverse the anticoagulant effect ofEliquis.
        Andexanet alfa produced rapid and nearly complete reversal
        (approximately 94%, P<0.0001) of the anticoagulant effect ofEliquisin
        healthy volunteers ages 50-75. The data were presented at the American
        Heart Association Scientific Sessions in Chicago.

Daclatasvir


    --  In November, the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter regarding the New
        Drug Application (NDA) for daclatasvir, an NS5A complex inhibitor, in
        combination with other agents for the treatment of hepatitis C (HCV).
        The initial daclatasvir NDA focused on its use in combination with
        asunaprevir, an NS3/4A protease inhibitor. Given the withdrawal of
        asunaprevir in the U.S. by Bristol-Myers Squibb in October, the FDA is
        requesting additional data about daclatasvir in combination with other
        antiviral agents for the treatment of HCV. Daclatasvir is marketed as
        Daklinza in Japan and the European Union.
    --  In November, the company announced results from the landmark ALLY trial
        investigating a ribavirin-free 12-week regimen of daclatasvir in
        combination with sofosbuvir in genotype 3 HCV patients, a patient
        population that has emerged as one of the most difficult to treat. The
        data, which showed sustained virologic response 12 weeks after treatment
        (SVR12) in 90% of treatment-naïve and 86% of treatment-experienced
        patients, were presented at the annual meeting of the American
        Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) in Boston.
    --  In November, also at AASLD, the company announced data from the UNITY
        trial program investigating a 12-week regimen of its all-oral
        daclatasvir-based TRIO regimen – a fixed-dose combination of daclatasvir
        with asunaprevir and beclabuvir – in a broad range of patients with
        genotype 1 HCV. In the UNITY-2 study, which evaluated cirrhotic
        patients, 98% of treatment-naïve and 93% of treatment-experienced
        cirrhotic patients receiving TRIO with ribavirin achieved SVR12 and 93%
        of treatment-naïve and 87% of treatment-experienced cirrhotic patients
        receiving TRIO without ribavirin achieved SVR12. In the open-label
        UNITY-1 study, which evaluated the TRIO regimen without ribavirin in
        treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced non-cirrhotic patients for 12
        weeks with 24 weeks of follow-up, 91% of patients achieved SVR12 and 92%
        of treatment-naive patients and 89% of treatment-experienced patients
        achieved cure without the use of ribavirin.

Orencia

    --  In November, at the American College of Rheumatology annual meeting in
        Boston, the company announced results from several new sub-analyses of
        the Phase 3b AVERT trial investigating the use of Orenciaplus
        methotrexate (MTX) in biologic and methotrexate-naïve citrullinated
        protein (CCP)-positive early moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis
        (RA) patients. The subanalyses showed that first-line treatment with
        Orencia plus MTX resulted in patients with early RA achieving
        significantly higher rates of stringent measures of remission; reduced
        the development of anti-CCP antibodies, an indicator of more severe,
        persistent, and erosive disease in patients with early rapidly
        progressing RA; improved synovitis and osteitis scores at 12 months; and
        improved joint erosion scores at both 12 and 18 months, compared to MTX
        alone.

FOURTH QUARTER BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT UPDATE


    --  In January, the company announced a clinical trial collaboration
        agreement with Seattle Genetics to evaluate the investigational
        combination of Opdivo with Seattle Genetics’ antibody drug conjugate
        Adcetris® (brentuximab vedotin) in two planned Phase 1/2 clinical
        trials. The first trial will evaluate the combination of Opdivo and
        Adcetris® as a potential treatment option for patients with relapsed or
        refractory Hodgkin lymphoma, and the second trial will focus on patients
        with relapsed or refractory B-cell and T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas,
        including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
