2012年《财富》500强排名:第48位 2012年利润(单位:百万美元):14,570 2011年11月,作为辉瑞公司的头号畅销药之一,立普妥的专利保护到期,导致公司当年第四季度利润损失惨重(同期公司基本医疗药物营收也下滑8%)。为此,辉瑞公司下调了2012年业绩预期。尽管如此,这个药业巨头2012年的业绩依然靓丽:截至年底,公司年利润高达145.7亿美元,较2011年的100亿美元增长了45.6%。这也意味着辉瑞在《财富》500强盈利榜单上的排名从2011年的第17位劲升至2012年的第11位。这个成绩对于辉瑞来说实属不易,因为它两年半之前遭受了管理层重组的重大打击,当时该公司的这一重大调整备受外界关注。 ——Daniel Roberts |
Fortune 500 rank: 48 2012 profit (millions): 14,570 One of the biggest crown jewels in Pfizer's drug portfolio, Lipitor, came off patent in November 2011, resulting in a big profit loss in Q4 of that year (revenue for its primary care medicines also went down 8% in that period). Pfizer, as a result, lowered its 2012 outlook. Despite that, the pharma giant had a banner year: by the end of 2012 it was in fact up 45.6% in profits, with $14.57 billion vs. a mere $10 billion in 2011. That also means it has leapfrogged from No. 17 most profitable in the Fortune500 last year to No. 11. Not bad for a corporation that only two and a half years ago suffered a damaging and much-scrutinized management shakeup. -- Daniel Roberts |
