Three months ended March 31, 2009

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company's adjustments to GAAP financial measures relate to amounts associated with the impact of expensing stock options in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R ("SFAS No. 123R"), charges related to the Company's restructuring plan announced in August 2007 and the additional cost saving initiatives announced in 2008, which include
(i) severance and other related costs and (ii) integration costs associated with certain cost saving initiatives (collectively, the "2009 Restructuring Amounts"), charges related to the Company's acquisitions of Avidia, Inc.
("Avidia") in October 2006 (the "Avidia Acquisition"), Abgenix, Inc. ("Abgenix") in April 2006 (the "Abgenix Acquisition") and Immunex Corporation ("Immunex") in July 2002 (the "Immunex Acquisition"), the incremental non-cash interest expense related to our convertible debt resulting from the January 1, 2009 adoption of FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1 ("FSP APB 14-1") ("the FSP APB 14-1 non-cash interest expense"), the tax effect of the adjustments in 2009 discussed below (the "2009 Tax Effect") and the net tax benefit resulting from adjustments to previously established deferred taxes, primarily related to prior acquisitions and stock option expense, due to changes in California tax law effective for future periods (the "State Tax Adjustment").

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company reported non-GAAP financial results for cost of sales (excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets) ("COS") expense, research and development ("R&D") expense, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense, interest and other income (expense), net ("Interest and other income, net") and diluted shares used in the calculation of adjusted earnings per share. COS expense, R&D expense and SG&A expense were adjusted to exclude the effects of expensing stock options in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. R&D expense was also adjusted to exclude the ongoing non-cash amortization of the R&D technology intangible assets acquired with the Abgenix Acquisition and the Avidia Acquisition (the "R&D Technology Intangible Assets' Amortization"). SG&A expense was also adjusted to exclude the 2009 Restructuring Amounts. Interest and other income, net was adjusted to exclude the FSP APB 14-1 non-cash interest expense. Diluted shares used in the calculation of adjusted earnings per share were adjusted to exclude the effects of adopting SFAS No. 123R. The Company believes that excluding the impact of expensing stock options and the related effects of adopting SFAS No. 123R provides supplemental measures that will facilitate comparisons between periods before and during when such expenses are incurred. The Company believes that excluding the R&D Technology Intangible Assets' Amortization treats those assets as if the Company had developed them internally in the past, and thus provides a supplemental measure of profitability in which the Company's acquired intellectual property is treated in a comparable manner to its internally developed intellectual property. The Company believes that excluding the 2009 Restructuring Amounts provides a supplemental measure that will facilitate comparisons between periods before, during and after such expenses are incurred. The Company believes that excluding the FSP APB 14-1 non-cash interest expense provides a supplemental measure that will facilitate comparisons before, during and after such expense is incurred.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company reported non-GAAP adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share excluding, where applicable, the foregoing expense amounts and the effects of adopting SFAS No. 123R on diluted shares used in the calculation of adjusted earnings per share for the reasons discussed above, the non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets associated with the Immunex Acquisition (primarily Enbrel Ž) (the "Immunex Intangible Assets' Amortization"), the 2009 Restructuring Amounts, the 2009 Tax Effect and the State Tax Adjustment. The Company believes that excluding the Immunex Intangible Assets' Amortization treats those assets as if the Company had developed them internally in the past, and thus provides a supplemental measure of profitability in which the Company's acquired intellectual property is treated in a comparable manner to its internally developed intellectual property. The Company believes that excluding the 2009 Restructuring Amounts provides a supplemental measure that will facilitate comparisons between periods before, during and after such expenses are incurred. The Company believes that excluding the 2009 Tax Effect provides a supplemental measure that will facilitate comparisons before, during and after the related adjustments have occurred. The Company believes that excluding the State Tax Adjustment provides a supplemental measure that will facilitate comparisons between periods in which such item did not occur.

As of March 31, 2009

R&D expense was also adjusted to exclude the R&D Technology Intangible Assets' Amortization and merger related expenses incurred due to the Alantos Acquisition primarily related to incremental costs associated with retention (the "Merger Retention Expense").

calculation of adjusted earnings per share for the reasons discussed above, the Immunex Intangible Assets' Amortization, the 2008 Restructuring Amounts and the 2008 Tax Effect. The Company believes that excluding the Immunex Intangible Assets' Amortization treats those assets as if the Company had developed them internally in the past, and thus provides a supplemental measure of profitability in which the Company's acquired intellectual property is treated in a comparable manner to its internally developed intellectual property. The Company believes that excluding the 2008 Restructuring Amounts provides a supplemental measure that will facilitate comparisons between periods before, during and after such expenses are incurred. The Company believes that excluding the 2008 Tax Effect provides a supplemental measure that will facilitate comparisons before, during and after the related adjustments have occurred.
