Adjusted earnings decreased 2% to $0.75 per share from $0.77 per share last year, but came in above the estimates. Meanwhile, reported net income surged to $7.68 billion, or $1.36 per share from $4.11 billion or $0.69 per share in the prior-year quarter, aided by gains associated with the completion of the consumer healthcare JV transaction with GSK.

The management raised the midpoint of the guidance range for full-year revenues by $0.2 billion, to reflect a $0.4 pillion operational improvement that was partially offset by a $0.2 billion unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rates. The midpoint of the adjusted earnings guidance range was revised up by $0.16 per share, to reflecting an $0.18 operational improvement, which was partially offset by a $0.02 foreign exchange impact.
