Forward-Looking Statements This news release contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and others that can be found in our Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012 , and in any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. Amgen is providing this information as of the date of this news release and does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. The Company's results may be affected by our ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally, clinical and regulatory developments (domestic or foreign) involving current and future products, sales growth of recently launched products, competition from other products (domestic or foreign), and difficulties or delays in manufacturing our products. In addition, sales of our products are affected by reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payors, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment as well as U.S. legislation affecting pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement. Government and others' regulations and reimbursement policies may affect the development, usage and pricing of our products. Furthermore, our research, testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities. We or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products after they are on the market. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. If we fail to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between us and the U.S. government, we could become subject to significant sanctions. Further, while we routinely obtain patents for our products and technology, the protection offered by our patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors. We depend on third parties for a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity for the supply of certain of our current and future products and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to some of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. Discovery or identification of new product candidates cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, some raw materials, medical devices and component parts for our products are supplied by sole third-party suppliers. Our business performance could affect or limit the ability of our Board of Directors to declare a dividend or our ability to pay a dividend or repurchase our common stock.

(*) Dilutive securities used to compute "Adjusted" diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, were computed under the treasury stock method assuming that we do not expense stock options.
(a) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the total pre-tax expense for employee stock options was $8 million and $26 million, respectively, compared with $14 million and $46 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year.
"Adjusted" diluted EPS including the impact of stock option expense were as follows:
Three months ended Nine months ended

"Adjusted" diluted EPS, excluding stock option expense $ 1.94 $ 1.67 $ 5.79 $ 5.11

"Adjusted" diluted EPS, including stock option expense $ 1.93 $ 1.66 $ 5.77 $ 5.07
(b) The adjustments related to non-cash amortization of product technology rights acquired in a prior year business combination. The adjustments in 2012 also included $7 million of other costs.
(c) The adjustments in 2013 related primarily to non-cash amortization of intangible assets acquired in prior year business combinations. The adjustments in 2012 related primarily to non-cash amortization of intangible assets as well as retention and severance expenses.
(d) The adjustments in 2013 related primarily to non-cash amortization of intangible assets acquired in prior year business combinations as well as $15 million of transaction costs associated with the Onyx business combination which closed in the fourth quarter of 2013. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the adjustments related primarily to non-cash amortization of intangible assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the adjustments related primarily to transaction costs as well as non-cash amortization of intangible assets.
(e) The adjustments in 2013 related primarily to severance expenses. The adjustments in 2012 related primarily to lease abandonment costs.
(f) The tax effect of the adjustments between our GAAP and "Adjusted" results takes into account the tax treatment and related tax rate(s) that apply to each adjustment in the applicable tax jurisdiction(s). Generally, this results in a tax impact at the U.S. marginal tax rate for certain adjustments, including the majority of amortization of intangible assets and non-cash interest expense associated with our convertible notes, whereas the tax impact of other adjustments, including stock option expense, depends on whether the amounts are deductible in the tax jurisdictions where the expenses are incurred or the asset is located and the applicable tax rate(s) in those jurisdictions. Due to these factors, the effective tax rates for the adjustments to our GAAP income before income taxes, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, were 32.8% and 26.5%, respectively, compared with 31.5% and 32.9% for the corresponding periods of the prior year.
(g) The income tax impact from resolving certain non-routine transfer-pricing and acquisition-related issues with tax authorities as well as the impact related to certain prior period items excluded from adjusted earnings.
Note: The 2012 expenses related to amortization of certain acquired intangible assets within operating expenses have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation
