“This quarter we delivered strong operational performance by focusing on
growth and execution. We achieved top- and bottom-line growth by
advancing our core strategy and maintaining momentum across our
businesses,” said Kenneth C. Frazier, chairman and chief executive
officer of Merck. “The company remains focused on translating
cutting-edge science into medically important products. We’re seeing
significant progress in the pipeline this year, and we expect six major
filings over the next 18 months, including suvorexant for insomnia and
odanacatib for osteoporosis. This focus on innovation and execution will
drive long-term shareholder value.”

Select Revenue Highlights

Worldwide sales were $12.3 billion for the second quarter of 2012, an
increase of 1 percent, or 5 percent excluding foreign exchange, compared
with the second quarter of 2011. Sales also were unfavorably impacted by
the arbitration settlement agreement with Johnson & Johnson discussed
below.

The following table reflects sales of the company’s top pharmaceutical
products, as well as total sales of animal health and consumer care
products.

Pharmaceutical Revenue Performance

Second-quarter pharmaceutical sales grew 2 percent to $10.6 billion,
including a 3 percent negative impact due to foreign exchange. Adjusting
pharmaceutical sales in the second quarter of 2011 to exclude sales of
REMICADE (infliximab) and SIMPONI (golimumab) from the territories
transferred to Johnson & Johnson through the settlement agreement,
pharmaceutical sales would have increased 5 percent in the second
quarter of 2012.6 The revenue increases largely reflect
strong sales growth for JANUVIA (sitagliptin), VICTRELIS (boceprevir),
JANUMET (sitagliptin/metformin hydrochloride), SINGULAIR (montelukast
sodium), ISENTRESS (raltegravir) and GARDASIL [Human Papillomavirus
Quadrivalent (Types 6, 11, 16 and 18) Vaccine, Recombinant]. These
increases were partially offset by expected declines in sales of COZAAR
(losartan potassium) and HYZAAR (losartan potassium and
hydrochlorothiazide) as well as European austerity measures.

Sales from emerging markets accounted for approximately 18 percent of
pharmaceutical sales in the second quarter. Growth in the emerging
markets is being driven by diversified brands and core products like
JANUVIA, JANUMET and ISENTRESS. China continues to be a key driver with
27 percent growth for the second quarter, including a 4 percent benefit
from foreign exchange.

Worldwide sales of the combined diabetes franchise of JANUVIA/JANUMET,
medicines that help lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2
diabetes, grew 33 percent to $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2012
driven by growth in all regions.

Worldwide sales of SINGULAIR, a once-a-day oral medicine for the chronic
treatment of asthma and the relief of symptoms of allergic rhinitis,
grew 6 percent to $1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2012. The patent
for SINGULAIR will expire in the U.S. in Aug. 2012 and in major European
markets in Feb. 2013. The company expects a significant and rapid
reduction in sales thereafter in those markets. SINGULAIR will retain
marketing exclusivity in Japan until 2016.

Sales of ZETIA (ezetimibe) and VYTORIN (ezetimibe/simvastatin),
medicines for lowering LDL cholesterol, grew 2 percent to $1.1 billion
in the second quarter driven by growth of ZETIA in the United States and
VYTORIN outside of the United States.

Combined sales of REMICADE and SIMPONI, treatments for inflammatory
diseases, declined 35 percent to $594 million for the second quarter of
2012. In Europe, Russia and Turkey, where Merck retained exclusive
marketing rights, the combined sales of REMICADE and SIMPONI declined 3
percent for the second quarter of 2012, but excluding the impact of
foreign exchange grew 6 percent. In July 2011, the company transferred
exclusive marketing rights for REMICADE and SIMPONI to Johnson & Johnson
in Canada, Central and South America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia
Pacific.

ISENTRESS, an HIV integrase inhibitor for use in combination with other
antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection, grew 18
percent to $398 million in the second quarter driven by strong growth in
the emerging markets and the United States.

Global sales of Merck’s antihypertensive medicines COZAAR and HYZAAR
were down 17 percent to $337 million in the second quarter of 2012 due
to the loss of marketing exclusivity in the United States and major
European markets in 2010.

Sales recorded by Merck for GARDASIL, a vaccine to help prevent certain
diseases caused by four types of human papillomavirus (HPV), increased
17 percent to $324 million for the quarter driven by vaccinations of
males in the United States and the launch in Japan.

Sales of ZOSTAVAX (zoster vaccine live), a vaccine for the prevention of
herpes zoster, grew 22 percent to $148 million in the quarter. The
company continues to increase its promotional efforts for ZOSTAVAX in
the United States.

Sales of VICTRELIS, the company’s oral hepatitis C virus NS3/4A protease
inhibitor, were $126 million in the quarter. VICTRELIS is approved in 43
countries and has launched in 23 of those markets.

Animal Health Revenue Performance

Animal Health sales totaled $865 million for the second quarter of 2012,
an 8 percent increase over the second quarter of 2011, including a 6
percent negative impact due to foreign exchange. Animal Health had
strong performance in the United States and Asia Pacific, with growth
led by increased sales of cattle and swine products. The division’s
products include pharmaceutical and vaccine products for the prevention,
treatment and control of disease in all major farm and companion animal
species.

Consumer Care Revenue Performance

Second-quarter global sales of Consumer Care were $552 million, an
increase of 2 percent compared to the second quarter of 2011, including
a 1 percent negative impact due to foreign exchange. The sales increase
was primarily due to MiraLAX, CLARITIN and COPPERTONE.

Other Revenue Performance

Other revenues – primarily comprised of alliance revenue, miscellaneous
corporate revenues and third-party manufacturing sales – declined 26
percent to $333 million. The change was driven largely by lower revenue
from AstraZeneca LP (AZLP) recorded by Merck, which declined 27 percent
to $223 million, as well as by lower third-party manufacturing sales.

Second-Quarter Expense and Other Information

The costs detailed below totaled $9.7 billion on a GAAP basis during the
second quarter of 2012 and include $1.7 billion of acquisition-related
costs and restructuring costs.

The gross margin was 66.6 percent for the second quarter of 2012 and
64.7 percent for the second quarter of 2011, reflecting 10.6 and 12.0
percentage point unfavorable impacts, respectively, from the
acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs noted above.

Marketing and administrative expenses, on a non-GAAP basis, were $3.2
billion in the second quarter of 2012, a decrease from $3.4 billion in
the second quarter of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to ongoing
productivity measures.

Research and development (R&D) expenses, on a non-GAAP basis, were $2.0
billion in the second quarter of 2012, an increase from $1.9 billion in
the second quarter of 2011. The increase primarily reflects the $120
million upfront payment as part of the Endocyte Inc. transaction.

Equity income from affiliates was $142 million for the second quarter,
which primarily reflects the performance of AZLP and Sanofi Pasteur MSD.

Other (income) expense, net was $103 million of expense in the second
quarter of 2012, compared to $121 million of expense in the second
quarter of 2011.

Key Developments

The company noted the following developments:

  • Pivotal Phase III data were presented that showed suvorexant, an
    investigational treatment for insomnia, improved patients’ ability to
    fall asleep and stay asleep, achieving significance on 15 of 16
    primary endpoints. Merck anticipates filing regulatory applications
    for approval by the end of 2012;
  • Primary efficacy outcomes were met in the Phase III trial of
    odanacatib, Merck’s investigational cathepsin-K inhibitor for
    osteoporosis, and Merck announced that the study is being concluded
    early. Merck expects to file regulatory applications for approval in
    the United States and Europe in the first half of 2013 and Japan in
    the third quarter of 2013;
  • Merck continued to advance plans for four additional major regulatory
    filings by end of 2013 including: BRIDION (sugammadex), a
    neuromuscular blocker reversal agent; V503, a nine-valent vaccine for
    HPV; TREDAPTIVE (extended-release niacin/laropiprant), a novel
    candidate for multiple lipid parameters; and vintafolide, a small
    molecule drug conjugate for ovarian and other cancers (European Union
    filing);
  • Merck previously announced in late March 2012 that the independent
    Data Safety Monitoring Board of the IMPROVE-IT study planned to review
    data from the study again in approximately nine months. That review
    has been scheduled for March 2013, at which point nine months of
    additional data will have been adjudicated;
  • Five-year data were presented from the STARTMRK study, in which the
    regimen including ISENTRESS demonstrated better efficacy and long-term
    safety and tolerability versus the regimen including efavirenz; and
  • Merck and AstraZeneca amended their option agreement related to AZLP.
    As a result, AstraZeneca will not acquire Merck’s stake in AZLP in
    2012 and has a new option to acquire Merck’s interest in June 2014.

Financial Targets

Merck continues to expect full-year 2012 non-GAAP EPS to be between
$3.75 and $3.85 and the 2012 GAAP EPS range to be $2.04 to $2.30. The
2012 non-GAAP range excludes acquisition-related costs and costs related
to restructuring programs.

Merck continues to expect full-year 2012 revenues to be at or near 2011
levels on a constant currency basis. At current exchange rates, sales
would be affected unfavorably by approximately 6 percent for the third
quarter and more than 3 percent for the full year.

In addition, the company expects full-year 2012 non-GAAP R&D expenses to
be slightly higher than the 2011 level. The company now expects the
full-year 2012 non-GAAP tax rate to be approximately 25 percent.

A reconciliation of anticipated 2012 EPS as reported in accordance with
GAAP to non-GAAP EPS that excludes certain items is provided in the
