Pfizer 1Q Profit Dips Amid Lipitor Generic Competition
Pfizer reports a 19 percent drop in first quarter net income due mainly to $2.64 billion in charges and revenue declines from Lipitor generic competition and two smaller drug brands. Lipitor sales fell to $1.4 billion as U.S. revenue slumped 71 percent, though U.S. market share remained above expectations due to rebates. Revenue totaled $15.4 billion, with international sales inching up and a lowered 2012 forecast to $2.14–$2.24 per share excluding charges.
