Specific trademark ownership information is included in the Exhibit Index at the end of this 2020 Form 10-K. PART I Item 1. BUSINESS. General Bristol-Myers Squibb Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in August 1933 under the name Bristol-Myers Company, as successor to a New York business started in 1887. In 1989, Bristol-Myers Company changed its name to Bristol-Myers Squibb Company as a result of a merger. We completed the Celgene transaction on November 20, 2019. On November 17, 2020, we completed our acquisition of MyoKardia for approximately $13.1 billion in cash. We continue to operate in one segment-Biopharmaceuticals. For additional information about our business segment, refer to “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data-Note 1. Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards.” Commencing from the Celgene acquisition date, our consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of Celgene. We are engaged in the discovery, development, licensing, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of biopharmaceutical products on a global basis. We expect that our acquisitions of Celgene and MyoKardia will further position us as a leading biopharmaceutical company, expanding our oncology, hematology, immunology and cardiovascular portfolios with several near-term assets and additional external partnerships. Refer to the Summary of Abbreviated Terms at the end of this 2020 Form 10-K for terms used throughout the document. Our principal strategy is to combine the resources, scale and capability of a pharmaceutical company with the speed and focus on innovation of the biotech industry. Our focus as a biopharmaceutical company is on discovering, developing and delivering transformational medicines for patients facing serious diseases in areas where we believe that we have an opportunity to make a meaningful difference: oncology (both solid tumors and hematology), immunology, cardiovascular and fibrosis. Our four strategic priorities are to drive enterprise performance, maximize the value of our commercial portfolio, ensure the long-term sustainability of our pipeline through combined internal and external innovation and establish our new culture and embed our people strategy. While we are committed to reducing our debt, we plan to remain focused on broadening our portfolio of marketed medicines and pipeline assets. For a further discussion of our strategy initiatives, refer to “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Strategy.” We compete with other worldwide research-based drug companies, smaller research companies and generic drug manufacturers. Our products are sold worldwide, primarily to wholesalers, distributors, specialty pharmacies, and to a lesser extent, directly to retailers, hospitals, clinics and government agencies. We manufacture products in the U.S. and Puerto Rico and have significant manufacturing operations in two foreign countries. Most of our revenues come from products in the following therapeutic classes:

  • COMPARISON of the WHO ATC CLASSIFICATION & Ephmra/Intellus Worldwide ANATOMICAL CLASSIFICATION
    COMPARISON OF THE WHO ATC CLASSIFICATION & EphMRA/Intellus Worldwide ANATOMICAL CLASSIFICATION: VERSION June 2019 2 Comparison of the WHO ATC Classification and EphMRA / Intellus Worldwide Anatomical Classification The following booklet is designed to improve the understanding of the two classification systems. The development of the two systems had previously taken place separately. EphMRA and WHO are now working together to ensure that there is a convergence of the 2 systems rather than a divergence. In order to better understand the two classification systems, we should pay attention to the way in which substances/products are classified. WHO mainly classifies substances according to the therapeutic or pharmaceutical aspects and in one class only (particular formulations or strengths can be given separate codes, e.g. clonidine in C02A as antihypertensive agent, N02C as anti-migraine product and S01E as ophthalmic product). EphMRA classifies products, mainly according to their indications and use. Therefore, it is possible to find the same compound in several classes, depending on the product, e.g., NAPROXEN tablets can be classified in M1A (antirheumatic), N2B (analgesic) and G2C if indicated for gynaecological conditions only. The purposes of classification are also different: The main purpose of the WHO classification is for international drug utilisation research and for adverse drug reaction monitoring. This classification is recommended by the WHO for use in international drug utilisation research. The EphMRA/Intellus Worldwide classification has a primary objective to satisfy the marketing needs of the pharmaceutical companies. Therefore, a direct comparison is sometimes difficult due to the different nature and purpose of the two systems.

  • Pomalidomide the POMALYST® Program
    Pomalidomide The POMALYST® Program Overview Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that begins in plasma cells in bone marrow. Plasma cells are white blood cells that make antibodies. The abnormal plasma cells build up in the bone marrow and sometimes in the solid part of the bone. Pomalidomide (brand name Pomalyst®) is approved to treat certain patients with multiple myeloma, but only under a restricted distribution program. Before you start taking this drug, you and your loved ones should read the important information in this brochure about the medication, side effects, and the rules you must follow if you choose pomalidomide, including the requirement to use birth control. Safety Pomalidomide is similar to the drug thalidomide and can cause the same life threatening birth defects. Both medications are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat multiple myeloma within restricted distribution programs. For pomalidomide, the program is called Pomalyst REMS™ (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy). The program is in place to make sure that everyone is following the established safety guidelines. Only providers (doctors, nurse practitioners, etc.) and pharmacies certified by this program can write prescriptions for this medication or dispense it. To be considered for pomalidomide: • you must have already tried at least 2 other therapies, including lenalidomide and bortezomib • your disease must have progressed within 60 days of completing your last therapy • you must enroll in the Pomalyst REMS program and agree to comply with the program’s requirements (detailed in this brochure) Your healthcare provider will counsel you about the risks and benefits of this therapy.

Now, Curtis takes his medications and Earnings Per Share does everything that his doctor advises. “I eat (from continuing operations attributable to Bristol-Myers Squibb) fruits and vegetables and exercise regularly. GAAP These are the really ‘good things’ that are good for you,” he says. And when he plays with his 2009 $1.63 five grandchildren, he thinks, “I almost wasn’t here for this.” 2008 $1.35 At Bristol-Myers Squibb we believe that the 2007 $0.65 will of the patient, matched by our desire to Non-GAAP find breakthrough medicines, can make all the difference.
