Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Beginning with the first quarter of 2022, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (the “Company”) will modify its presentation of non-GAAP results and no longer exclude from non-GAAP results significant R&D charges or other income resulting from upfront or contingent milestone payments in connection with asset acquisitions or licensing of third-party intellectual property rights. These specified R&D charges that were previously excluded from non-GAAP results, as well as similar but less material charges that were previously included in non-GAAP results, will also be presented in a new financial statement line item labeled Acquired IPRD. The Company is making these changes to its presentation of non-GAAP financial measures following comments from, and discussions with, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Prior period results will be revised to conform to the new presentation. Furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein in their entirety are the revised presentation of the Company’s results of operations under GAAP to reflect the reclassification of the R&D charges from R&D expense to the new Acquired IPRD financial statement line item, the reconciliation to previously reported non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, the revised summary of specified items, and the revised reconciliation to non-GAAP results, in each case for the year ended December 31, 2020, each of the four quarters of 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to include the net negative impact of approximately $0.10 per share during the first quarter of 2022 for Acquired IPRD charges and licensing income resulting from upfront and contingent milestone payments in connection with asset acquisitions or licensing of third party intellectual property rights. Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 have not been finalized and are subject to our financial statement closing procedures. There can be no assurance that our final results will not differ from this preliminary estimate.

Pursuant to General Instruction B.2. to Form 8-K, the information set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities thereof, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into future filings by the Company under the Exchange Act or under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except to the extent specifically provided in any such filing.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including with respect to the Company’s anticipated charges related to Acquired IPRD for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and the related impact to the Company’s GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about our future financial results, goals, plans and objectives and involve inherent risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including internal or external factors that could delay, divert or change any of them in the next several years, that are difficult to predict, may be beyond our control and could cause our future financial results, goals, plans and objectives to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the statements. These risks, assumptions, uncertainties and other factors include, among others, completion of the Company’s quarter-end closing process, including review by management and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors, which could result in changes to the Company’s preliminary estimates described herein. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Forward-looking statements in this Current Report should be evaluated together with the many risks and uncertainties that affect the Company’s business and market, particularly those identified in the cautionary statement and risk factors discussion in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as updated by its subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings with the SEC. The forward-looking statements included in this Current Report are made only as of the date of this Current Report and except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In discussing financial results, the Company refers to financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures, provided as supplemental information to the financial measures presented in this exhibit that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, are presented because management has evaluated the Company’s financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items or the effects of foreign currency translation, as applicable, and believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented supplement or enhance management, analysts and investors overall understanding of the Company’s underlying financial performance and trends and facilitate comparisons among current, past and future periods.

        Non-GAAP financial measures such as non-GAAP earnings and related EPS information are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items that are evaluated on an individual basis after considering
        their quantitative and qualitative aspects and typically have one or more of the following characteristics, such as being highly variable, difficult to project, unusual in nature, significant to the results of a particular period or not
        indicative of past or future operating results. These items are excluded from non-GAAP earnings and related EPS information because the Company believes they neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company’s business nor reflect the
        Company’s underlying business performance. Similar charges or gains were recognized in prior periods and will likely reoccur in future periods, including amortization of acquired intangible assets, including product rights that generate a
        significant portion of our ongoing revenue and will recur until the intangible assets are fully amortized, unwind of inventory purchase price adjustments, acquisition and integration expenses, restructuring costs, accelerated depreciation and
        impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, divestiture gains or losses, stock compensation resulting from accelerated vesting of Celgene awards, certain retention-related employee compensation charges related to the
        Celgene transaction, pension, legal and other contractual settlement charges, equity investment and contingent value rights fair value adjustments \(including fair value adjustments attributed to limited partnership equity method investments
        beginning in 2021\) and amortization of fair value adjustments of debt acquired from Celgene in our 2019 exchange offer, among other items. Certain other significant tax items are also excluded such as the impact resulting from internal
        transfers due to streamlining our legal entity structure subsequent to the Celgene acquisition and the global intangible low taxed income tax change upon finalization of the Otezla\* divestiture in 2020. Deferred and current income taxes
        attributed to these items are also adjusted for considering their individual impact to the overall tax expense, deductibility and jurisdictional tax rates. The Company will modify its presentation of non-GAAP results and no longer exclude from
        non-GAAP results significant R&D charges or other income resulting from upfront or contingent milestone payments in connection with asset acquisitions or licensing of third-party intellectual property rights beginning in the first quarter
        of 2022. For the purposes of comparability with future periods, the non-GAAP financial measures for the year ended December 31, 2020, each of the four quarters of 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, presented in this exhibit have been
        updated to reflect this change; however, the Company has reconciled non-GAAP diluted earnings per share as calculated using the new methodology to the previously reported non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to allow investors and readers to
        evaluate this non-GAAP measure using the historic methodologies in place as of the applicable dates.

        Because the non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered superior to and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial measures
        presented in this exhibit that are prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items being adjusted. We
        encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

        Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying financial tables. Within the accompanying financial tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to
        the use of rounded numbers. Percentages and earnings per share amounts presented are calculated from the underlying amounts.
