Pfizer not to split into two companies


(MENAFN) US drug maker, Pfizer Inc. confirmed it had decided not to separate into traded companies by separating its low-growth generics from its patent-protected branded medicines.

Instead, Chief Executive, Ian Read, stated the company was already accessing many of the potential benefits of a split while retaining the operational strength, efficiency and financial flexibility of operating as a single company.

Chief Financial Officer Frank D"Amelio said: "Over time, any potential gap between Pfizer"s market valuation and an implied Sum of the Parts (SOTP) market valuation has closed."
