However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been made.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 modifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes and classification on the statement of cash flows.

Note 2 — Discontinued Operations
On February 27, 2015, Abbott completed the sale of its developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business to Mylan Inc. (Mylan) for 110 million shares (or approximately 22%) of a newly formed entity (Mylan N.V.) that combined Mylan’s existing business and Abbott’s developed markets branded generics pharmaceuticals business. Mylan N.V. is publicly traded. The shareholder agreement with Mylan N.V. includes voting and other restrictions that prevent Abbott from exercising significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Mylan N.V.
In April 2015, Abbott sold 40.25 million of the 110 million ordinary shares of Mylan N.V. As a result of this sale, Abbott’s ownership interest in Mylan N.V. decreased to approximately 14%.
In March 2017, Abbott sold 44 million ordinary shares of Mylan N.V. and received $1.685 billion in proceeds. In June 2017, Abbott sold an additional 6 million ordinary shares of Mylan N.V. and received $239 million in proceeds. Abbott recorded an immaterial pre-tax gain in the first six months of 2017, which was recognized in the Other expense (income), net line of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. As a result of these share sales, Abbott’s ownership interest in Mylan N.V. decreased from approximately 14% to approximately 3.7%.
On February 10, 2015, Abbott completed the sale of its animal health business to Zoetis Inc. Abbott received cash proceeds of $230 million and reported an after-tax gain on the sale of approximately $130 million in the first quarter of 2015. In the first quarter of 2016, Abbott received an additional $25 million of proceeds related to the expiration of a holdback agreement associated with the sale of this business and reported an after-tax gain on the sale of discontinued operations of $16 million.
On January 1, 2013, Abbott completed the separation of AbbVie Inc. (AbbVie), which was formed to hold Abbott’s research-based proprietary pharmaceuticals business. Abbott has retained all liabilities for all U.S. federal and foreign income taxes on income prior to the separation, as well as certain non-income related taxes attributable to AbbVie’s business prior to the separation. AbbVie generally will be liable for all other taxes attributable to its business. Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax of $46 million and $260 million in the first six months of 2017 and 2016 were driven primarily by the recognition of net tax benefits as a result of the resolution of various tax positions related to AbbVie’s operations for years prior to the separation. |

In September 2016, Abbott announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to sell Abbott Medical Optics (AMO), its vision care business, to Johnson & Johnson for $4.325 billion in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments for cash, debt and working capital. The decision to sell AMO reflects Abbott’s proactive shaping of its portfolio in line with its strategic priorities. In February 2017, Abbott completed the sale of AMO to Johnson & Johnson and recognized a pre-tax gain of $1.151 billion, which was reported in the Other expense (income), net line of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings in the first six months of 2017. Abbott recorded an after-tax gain of $721 million in the first six months of 2017 related to the sale of AMO.
The operating results of AMO up to the date of sale continued to be included in Earnings from Continuing Operations as they did not qualify for reporting as discontinued operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the AMO earnings before taxes included in Abbott’s consolidated earnings were nil and $13 million, respectively. For the first six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the AMO losses before taxes included in Abbott’s consolidated earnings were $18 million and $44 million, respectively.

Note 4 — Supplemental Financial Information
Shares of unvested restricted stock that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are treated as participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities. Earnings from Continuing Operations allocated to common shares for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $269 million and $597 million, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $653 million and $652 million, respectively. Net earnings allocated to common shares for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $281 million and $612 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $698 million and $927 million, respectively.
The Other, net line in Net cash from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the first six months of 2017 and 2016 includes the effects of contributions to defined benefit plans of $321 million and $524 million, respectively, and to the post-employment medical and dental benefit plans of $11 million and $9 million, respectively. The first six months of 2017 also includes the impact of approximately $430 million of tax expense related to business dispositions, which has not yet been paid, and is taxed at a discrete tax rate. The first six months of 2016 included the non-cash impact of approximately $410 million of net tax benefits primarily associated with the resolution of various tax positions from prior years, as well as cash taxes paid of approximately $140 million related to the disposition of businesses. The foreign currency loss related to Venezuela in the first six months of 2016 reduced Abbott’s cash by approximately $410 million and is shown on the Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents line within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Since January 2010, Venezuela has been designated as a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP. In 2014 and 2015, the government of Venezuela operated multiple mechanisms to exchange bolivars into U.S. dollars. These mechanisms included the CENCOEX, SICAD, and SIMADI rates, which stood at 6.3, 13.5, and approximately 200, respectively, at December 31, 2015. In 2015, Abbott continued to use the CENCOEX rate of 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars to the U.S. dollar to report the results, financial position, and cash flows related to its operations in Venezuela since Abbott continued to qualify for this exchange rate to pay for the import of various products into Venezuela.
On February 17, 2016, the Venezuelan government announced that the three-tier exchange rate system would be reduced to two rates renamed the DIPRO and DICOM rates. The DIPRO rate is the official rate for food and medicine imports and was adjusted from 6.3 to 10 bolivars per U.S. dollar. The DICOM rate is a floating market rate published daily by the Venezuelan central bank, which at the end of the first quarter of 2016 was approximately 263 bolivars per U.S. dollar. As a result of decreasing government approvals to convert bolivars to U.S. dollars to pay for intercompany accounts, as well as the accelerating deterioration of economic conditions in the country, Abbott concluded that it was appropriate to move to the DICOM rate at the end of the first quarter of 2016. As a result, Abbott recorded a foreign currency exchange loss of $477 million in the first quarter of 2016 to revalue its net monetary assets in Venezuela. Abbott is continuing to use the DICOM rate to report the results of operations and to remeasure net monetary assets for Venezuela at the end of each quarter. As of June 30, 2017, Abbott’s Venezuelan operations represented approximately 0.01% of Abbott’s consolidated assets and any additional foreign currency losses related to Venezuela are not expected to be material.
The components of long-term investments as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:
As discussed in Note 2, in the first six months of 2017, Abbott sold 50 million ordinary shares of Mylan N.V., thereby reducing Abbott’s investment in equity securities by approximately $1.9 billion.
Abbott’s equity securities as of June 30, 2017, include approximately $348 million of investments in mutual funds that are held in a rabbi trust and were acquired as part of the St. Jude Medical, Inc. (St. Jude Medical) business acquisition. These investments, which are specifically designated as available for the purpose of paying benefits under a deferred compensation plan, are not available for general corporate purposes and are subject to creditor claims in the event of insolvency. |

Note 6 — Business Acquisitions
On January 4, 2017, Abbott completed the acquisition of St. Jude Medical, a global medical device manufacturer, for approximately $23.6 billion, including approximately $13.6 billion in cash and approximately $10 billion in Abbott common shares, which represented approximately 254 million shares of Abbott common stock, based on Abbott’s closing stock price on the acquisition date. As part of the acquisition, approximately $5.9 billion of St. Jude Medical’s debt was assumed, repaid or refinanced by Abbott. The transaction provides expanded opportunities for future growth and is an important part of the company’s ongoing effort to develop a strong, diverse portfolio of devices, diagnostics, nutritionals and branded generic pharmaceuticals. The combined company will compete in nearly every area of the cardiovascular market, as well as in the neuromodulation market.
Under the terms of the agreement, for each St. Jude Medical common share, St. Jude Medical shareholders received $46.75 in cash and 0.8708 of an Abbott common share. At an Abbott stock price of $39.36, which reflects the closing price on January 4, 2017, this represented a value of approximately $81 per St. Jude Medical common share and total purchase consideration of $23.6 billion. The cash portion of the acquisition was funded through a combination of medium and long-term debt issued in November 2016 and a $2.0 billion 120-day senior unsecured bridge term loan facility which was subsequently repaid.
The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the St. Jude Medical acquisition is shown in the table below. During the second quarter of 2017, measurement period adjustments to the value of the intangibles resulted in a credit of approximately $70 million to intangible amortization expense to reduce the expense recorded in the first quarter of 2017. The allocation of the fair value of the acquisition will be finalized when the valuation is completed and differences between the preliminary and final allocation could be material.
The goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies from combining operations as well as intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The acquired tangible assets consist primarily of trade accounts receivable of approximately $1.2 billion, inventory of approximately $1.7 billion, other current assets of $206 million, property and equipment of approximately $1.5 billion, and other long-term assets of $475 million. The acquired tangible liabilities consist of trade accounts payable and other current liabilities of approximately $1.0 billion and other non-current liabilities of approximately $655 million.
If the acquisition of St. Jude Medical had occurred at the beginning of 2016, unaudited pro forma consolidated net sales would have been approximately $13.2 billion and unaudited pro forma consolidated net loss would have been approximately $165 million for the first six months of 2016, which includes the amortization of approximately $820 million of inventory step-up and $670 million of intangibles related to St. Jude Medical. For the second quarter of 2016, unaudited pro forma consolidated net sales would have been approximately $6.9 billion and unaudited pro forma consolidated net earnings would have been approximately $250 million, which includes the amortization of approximately $430 million of inventory step-up and $340 million of intangibles related to St. Jude Medical. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations that would have been realized had the St. Jude Medical acquisition been completed as of the beginning of 2016, nor is it meant to be indicative of future results of operations that the combined entity will experience.
In the first six months of 2017, consolidated Abbott results include $2.9 billion of sales and a pre-tax loss of approximately $1.0 billion related to the St. Jude Medical acquisition, including approximately $670 million of intangible amortization and $820 million of inventory step-up amortization. It excludes acquisition, integration and restructuring-related costs.
In 2016, Abbott and St. Jude Medical agreed to sell certain businesses to Terumo Corporation for approximately $1.12 billion. The sale included the St. Jude Medical Angio-Seal™ and Femoseal™ vascular closure and Abbott’s Vado® Steerable Sheath businesses. The sale closed on January 20, 2017 and no gain or loss was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
On January 30, 2016, Abbott entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Alere Inc. (Alere), a diagnostic device and service provider, for $56.00 per common share in cash. On April 13, 2017, Abbott and Alere amended the terms of the agreement to reduce the purchase price to $51.00 per common share. The amended terms reduce the originally expected equity value by approximately $500 million to a new expected equity value of approximately $5.3 billion, which includes both common and preferred shares. On July 7, 2017, the Alere shareholders approved the acquisition. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2017, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory approvals. Under the amended terms of the acquisition agreement, the date by which necessary regulatory approvals must be received has been extended to September 30, 2017. The companies also agreed to dismiss their respective lawsuits. The acquisition is expected to significantly expand Abbott’s global diagnostics presence and leadership. Abbott expects to utilize a combination of cash on hand and debt to fund the acquisition. Alere’s net debt, which totaled $2.3 billion at March 31, 2017, will be assumed, refinanced or repaid by Abbott.
On July 15, 2017, Alere entered into an agreement to sell its Triage MeterPro cardiovascular and toxicology business and the assets and liabilities related to its B-type Natriuretic Peptide assay business run on Beckman Coulter analyzers to Quidel Corporation (Quidel). The transactions with Quidel reflect a total purchase price of approximately $400 million and contingent consideration with a maximum value of $40 million. On July 21, 2017, Alere entered into an agreement with Siemens Diagnostics Holding II B.V. to sell its subsidiary, Epocal Inc., for approximately $200 million. These transactions are subject to the successful completion of Abbott’s acquisition of Alere and antitrust regulatory approvals. Alere is divesting these businesses in connection with the review by the Federal Trade Commission and the European Commission of Abbott’s agreement to acquire Alere.
On July 17, 2017, Abbott commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash the 1.77 million outstanding shares of Alere’s Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock at a price of $402 per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends to, but not including, the settlement date of the tender offer. This tender offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including Abbott’s acquisition of Alere and upon there being validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) at the expiration date of the tender offer that number of shares of Preferred Stock that equals at least a majority of the Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the expiration of the tender offer.
On July 31, 2017, Abbott entered into a term loan agreement whereby Abbott can borrow up to $2.8 billion on an unsecured basis for the acquisition of Alere. Funding of the 5-year loan is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions related to the consummation of the Alere acquisition. Borrowings under the term loan will bear interest, at Abbott’s option, based on either a base rate or a Eurodollar rate, plus an applicable margin based on Abbott’s credit ratings. |

The total amount of goodwill reported was $22.132 billion at June 30, 2017 and $7.683 billion at December 31, 2016. Goodwill increased by $15.1 billion during the first six months of 2017 due to the completion of the St. Jude Medical acquisition, partially offset by a decrease of $1.1 billion due to the sale of certain businesses to Terumo Corporation. Foreign currency translation adjustments increased goodwill by approximately $421 million in the first six months of 2017.

The December 31, 2016 amounts exclude net intangible assets reported in non-current assets held for disposition. As part of the sale of AMO in the first six months of 2017, approximately $529 million of net intangible assets were included in the net assets sold.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which relate to in-process research and development acquired in a business combination, were approximately $4.0 billion and $349 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Indefinite-lived intangible assets increased by $3.7 billion due to the completion of the St. Jude Medical acquisition. In the first six months of 2016, Abbott recorded an impairment of a $43 million in-process research and development project related to a non-reportable segment. Abbott’s estimated annual amortization expense for intangible assets is approximately $1.9 billion in 2017, $2.1 billion in 2018, $2.0 billion in 2019, $1.8 billion in 2020 and $1.7 billion in 2021.

Note 10 — Debt and Lines of Credit
In the first six months of 2017, as part of the acquisition of St. Jude Medical, Abbott’s long-term debt increased due to the assumption of outstanding debt previously issued by St. Jude Medical. Abbott exchanged certain St. Jude Medical debt obligations with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.9 billion for debt issued by Abbott which consists of:
Following this exchange, approximately $194.2 million of existing St. Jude Medical notes remain outstanding across the five series of existing notes which have the same coupons and maturities as those listed above. There were no significant costs associated with the exchange of debt.
In addition, during the first six months of 2017, Abbott assumed and subsequently repaid the following St. Jude Medical debt obligations:
On January 4, 2017, as part of funding the cash portion of the St. Jude Medical acquisition, Abbott borrowed $2.0 billion under a 120-day senior unsecured bridge term loan facility. This facility was repaid during the first six months of 2017.
During the first six months of 2017, Abbott issued 364-day yen-denominated debt, of which $195 million was outstanding at June 30, 2017. Abbott also paid off a $479 million yen-denominated short-term debt.
In February 2016, Abbott obtained a commitment for a 364-day senior unsecured bridge term loan facility for an amount not to exceed $9 billion in conjunction with its pending acquisition of Alere. This commitment, which was automatically extended for up to 90 days on January 29, 2017, expired on April 30, 2017 and was not renewed since Abbott does not need this bridge facility to finance the Alere acquisition. The fees associated with the bridge facilities were recognized in interest expense.
On July 31, 2017, Abbott entered into a term loan agreement whereby Abbott can borrow up to $2.8 billion on an unsecured basis for the acquisition of Alere. Funding of the 5-year loan is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions related to the consummation of the Alere acquisition. Borrowings under the term loan will bear interest, at Abbott’s option, based on either a base rate or a Eurodollar rate, plus an applicable margin based on Abbott’s credit ratings. |

Note 11 — Financial Instruments, Derivatives and Fair Value Measures
Certain Abbott foreign subsidiaries enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage exposures to changes in foreign exchange rates for anticipated intercompany purchases by those subsidiaries whose functional currencies are not the U.S. dollar. These contracts, with gross notional amounts totaling $2.8 billion at June 30, 2017 and $2.6 billion at December 31, 2016 are designated as cash flow hedges of the variability of the cash flows due to changes in foreign exchange rates and are recorded at fair value. Accumulated gains and losses as of June 30, 2017 will be included in Cost of products sold at the time the products are sold, generally through the next twelve to eighteen months. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness was not significant in 2017 and 2016.
Abbott enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage currency exposures for foreign currency denominated third-party trade payables and receivables, and for intercompany loans and trade accounts payable where the receivable or payable is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. For intercompany loans, the contracts require Abbott to sell or buy foreign currencies, primarily European currencies including the British pound, in exchange for primarily U.S. dollars and other European currencies. For intercompany and trade payables and receivables, the currency exposures are primarily the U.S. dollar and European currencies. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Abbott held the gross notional amount of $14.3 billion and $14.9 billion, respectively, of such foreign currency forward exchange contracts.
In March 2017, Abbott repaid its $479 million foreign denominated short-term debt which was designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign subsidiary. At December 31, 2016, the value of this short-term debt was $454 million and changes in the fair value of the debt up through the date of repayment due to changes in exchange rates were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.
Abbott is a party to interest rate hedge contracts totaling approximately $4.0 billion at June 30, 2017 and $5.5 billion at December 31, 2016 to manage its exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate debt. In the second quarter of 2017, Abbott unwound approximately $1.5 billion in interest rate swaps relating to the 2.00% Note due in 2020 and the 2.55% Note due in 2022. The proceeds received were not significant. These contracts are designated as fair value hedges of the variability of the fair value of fixed-rate debt due to changes in the long-term benchmark interest rates. The effect of the hedge is to change a fixed-rate interest obligation to a variable rate for that portion of the debt. Abbott records the contracts at fair value and adjusts the carrying amount of the fixed-rate debt by an offsetting amount. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness was not significant in 2017 and 2016.
The following table summarizes the amounts and location of certain derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:
The following table summarizes the activity for foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges, debt designated as a hedge of net investment in a foreign subsidiary and certain other derivative financial instruments, as well as the amounts and location of income (expense) and gain (loss) reclassified into income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness was not significant in 2017 and 2016 for these hedges.
Losses of $51 million and gains of $20 million were recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, related to foreign currency forward exchange contracts not designated as a hedge. Losses of $42 million and gains of $18 million were recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, related to foreign currency forward exchange contracts not designated as a hedge. These amounts are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings on the Net foreign exchange loss (gain) line.
The interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges of the variability of the fair value of fixed-rate debt due to changes in the long-term benchmark interest rates. The hedged debt is marked to market, offsetting the effect of marking the interest rate swaps to market.
The carrying values and fair values of certain financial instruments as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are shown in the following table. The carrying values of all other financial instruments approximate their estimated fair values. The counterparties to financial instruments consist of select major international financial institutions. Abbott does not expect any losses from nonperformance by these counterparties.
The fair value of the debt was determined based on significant other observable inputs, including current interest rates.
The following table summarizes the bases used to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet:
Equity securities are principally comprised of Mylan N.V. ordinary shares. The fair value of the Mylan equity securities was determined based on the value of the publicly-traded ordinary shares. In the first six months of 2017, Abbott sold 50 million ordinary shares of Mylan N.V which had a value of $1.9 billion. As a result of this sale, Abbott’s ownership interest in Mylan N.V. decreased from approximately 14% to approximately 3.7%. The fair value of debt was determined based on the face value of the debt adjusted for the fair value of the interest rate swaps, which is based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts is determined using a market approach, which utilizes values for comparable derivative instruments. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on an independent appraisal adjusted for the time value of money and other changes in fair value. In the first six months of 2017, the increase in the fair value of the contingent consideration was due to the assumption of St. Jude Medical’s contingent consideration obligations. |

Note 12 — Litigation and Environmental Matters
Abbott has been identified as a potentially responsible party for investigation and cleanup costs at a number of locations in the United States and Puerto Rico under federal and state remediation laws and is investigating potential contamination at a number of company-owned locations. Abbott has recorded an estimated cleanup cost for each site for which management believes Abbott has a probable loss exposure. No individual site cleanup exposure is expected to exceed $4 million, and the aggregate cleanup exposure is not expected to exceed $10 million.
Abbott is involved in various claims and legal proceedings, and Abbott estimates the range of possible loss for its legal proceedings and environmental exposures to be from approximately $40 million to $45 million. The recorded accrual balance at June 30, 2017 for these proceedings and exposures was approximately $45 million. This accrual represents management’s best estimate of probable loss, as defined by FASB ASC No. 450, “Contingencies.” Within the next year, legal proceedings may occur that may result in a change in the estimated loss accrued by Abbott. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of all such proceedings and exposures with certainty, management believes that their ultimate disposition should not have a material adverse effect on Abbott’s financial position, cash flows, or results of operations. |

Note 14 — Taxes on Earnings
Taxes on earnings from continuing operations reflect the estimated annual effective rates and include charges for interest and penalties. In the first six months of 2017, taxes on earnings from continuing operations include $430 million of tax expense related to the gain on the sale of the AMO business, which is taxed at a discrete tax rate. Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $46 million for the first six months of 2017 primarily reflects the recognition of net tax benefits as a result of the resolution of various tax positions related to prior years. In the first six months of 2016, taxes on earnings from continuing operations includes the impact of a net tax benefit of approximately $145 million as a result of the resolution of various tax positions from prior years, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of non-deductible foreign exchange losses related to Venezuela. Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the first six months of 2016 reflects the recognition of $266 million of net tax benefits primarily as a result of the resolution of various tax positions related to prior years. The conclusion of these tax matters decreased the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $444 million.
Tax authorities in various jurisdictions regularly review Abbott’s income tax filings. Abbott believes that it is reasonably possible that the recorded amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease between $200 million and $350 million, including cash adjustments, within the next twelve months as a result of concluding various domestic and international tax matters. In the U.S., Abbott’s federal income tax returns are settled through 2013 and St. Jude Medical’s federal income tax returns are settled through 2013 except for one item. |

| Segment Information |
Note 15 — Segment Information
Abbott’s principal business is the discovery, development, manufacture and sale of a broad line of health care products. Abbott’s products are generally sold directly to retailers, wholesalers, hospitals, health care facilities, laboratories, physicians’ offices and government agencies throughout the world. On January 4, 2017, Abbott completed the acquisition of St. Jude Medical. Beginning with the first quarter of 2017, Abbott’s cardiovascular and neuromodulation business includes the results of its historical Vascular Products segment and the results of the businesses acquired from St. Jude Medical from the date of acquisition.
Abbott’s reportable segments are as follows:
Established Pharmaceutical Products — International sales of a broad line of branded generic pharmaceutical products.
Nutritional Products — Worldwide sales of a broad line of adult and pediatric nutritional products.
Diagnostic Products — Worldwide sales of diagnostic systems and tests for blood banks, hospitals, commercial laboratories and alternate-care testing sites. For segment reporting purposes, the Core Laboratories Diagnostics, Molecular Diagnostics, Point of Care and Ibis diagnostic divisions are aggregated and reported as the Diagnostic Products segment.
Cardiovascular and Neuromodulation Products — Worldwide sales of rhythm management, electrophysiology, heart failure, vascular, structural heart and neuromodulation products.
Non-reportable segments include AMO through the date of sale and Diabetes Care.
Abbott’s underlying accounting records are maintained on a legal entity basis for government and public reporting requirements. Segment disclosures are on a performance basis consistent with internal management reporting. Intersegment transfers of inventory are recorded at standard cost and are not a measure of segment operating earnings. The cost of some corporate functions and the cost of certain employee benefits are charged to segments at predetermined rates that approximate cost. Remaining costs, if any, are not allocated to segments. In addition, intangible asset amortization is not allocated to operating segments, and intangible assets and goodwill are not included in the measure of each segment’s assets. As a result of the acquisition of St. Jude Medical, the total assets of the Cardiovascular and Neuromodulation segment increased from $1.425 billion at December 31, 2016 to $5.250 billion at June 30, 2017. The following segment information has been prepared in accordance with the internal accounting policies of Abbott, as described above, and is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied to the consolidated financial statements.
