Part 2. SEC 10-K Power Point Presentation
1. You will also be required to prepare a power point file of 11 slides. The first slide will be the title slide. Each slide excluding the title slide is worth 10 points.
2. Your PPT presentation must represent a cross section of your SEC Report (Word document).

In Week 6, 25% of the Week 6 Discussion grade is allocated to your reviewing at least one other classmate’s unreviewed work; the balance 75% is allocated to your PPT presentation posted in Week 6 Discussion
5. Ask questions if any of the requirements are unclear.
6. You are required to post comments on the work of at least one other student who does not yet have comments, so that everyone has at least one set of comments. Do not wait until the last day to post your power point file so everyone has a chance to review the file.
7. Do not cut and paste from your SEC (Word) report.
8. Use visual cues such as color, graphics, bullets, etc. to enhance your presentation.
9. The amount of information contained in each slide should be roughly the same.
10. Do not cut and paste or integrate entire sections of the financial statements in to your presentation. If you do so, you will lose points associated with that slide.
11.Only 1 slide should contain background information about the company. This presentation is for an Accounting course. So, the emphasis of your presentation should be numerical. Present numerical information and explain what the numbers mean. Do not present numbers only without explanation.

Drones, which are also called unmanned aerial vehicles (or UAVs), are contraptions that take to the air without human pilots in the cockpit. Instead, people control drones from the ground or, increasingly, the drones simply fly themselves without the need for human intervention

Company background
JNJ was founded in 1886 by James Wood Johnson and his brothers Robert and Edward in New Brunswick, NJ.
JNJ is a multifaceted Holding Company with 3 major segments: Consumer products, Medical products, & Pharmaceuticals.
JNJ is the Company’s symbol which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. As of February 15, 2019, there were 142,029 record holders of common stock of the Company. The final market price for JNJ Common Stock during 2018 and 2017 were: $139.72 and $105.06 respectively.

Income STATEMENT EXPLAINED
Gross profit margin (Sales $81,581m /COGS $27,091m) = 66.79%
Although the Gross Profit was about the same from the previous year. JNJ’s GPM is still substantially high enough to cover their highest operating costs of Marketing and R&D.
11% remains to cover shareholder dividends.
Net profit margin (Net Sales of $15,297m / Revenue of $81,581m) = 18.75%
This tells the investors that out of the $81,581m in sales, 18.75% (or roughly $15, 581m) will be converted to profit.
Times interest earned (EBIT of $19,196m / Interest Exp of $552m) = 34.78 or 35
JNJ’s investors should be happy to know that JNJ is able to pay their interest payments 35 times over. Obtaining additional loans would not be a difficulty because other banks would see that JNJ has the earnings to meet financial obligations.

Balance sheet & Shareholder’s equity cont’d
Quick ratio 2018 data: Quick ratio = current assets/inventory/Current Liabilities
Quick ratio =46,033,000/8,599,000/31,230,000=1.20:1
This ratio measures the dollar for dollar amount of assets for each current liability excluding inventories. It excludes inventories to present a more conservative ratio of liquidity. Even after excluding inventories, JNJ is still able to pay $1.77 in current assets for every $1 of current liabilities.
Debt to assets 2018 data: Debt to assets = Total liabilities / total assets
Debt to assets= 93,202,000 / 152,954 ,000 = 0.61:1
This ratio tells how much of JNJ’s assets have been leveraged by debt. And according to their ratio, 15% of JNJ’s assets have been leveraged by debt.
Return on stockholder’s equity (Net Income of $15,409 / Shareholder’s Equity of 71,150) = 21.66%
This ratio measures the amount of profit JNJ is able to make with the money the shareholders have invested.
Earnings per share (Net Income of $15,409 / Average Outstanding Common Shares of $3,120) = $4.93
This ratio measures the amount of profit that would be allocated to each of JNJ’s outstanding stock.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K and Johnson & Johnson’s other publicly available documents contain “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Management and representatives of Johnson & Johnson
and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) also may from time to time make forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts and reflect management’s assumptions, views, plans, objectives and projections about the future. Forward-looking statements may
be identified by the use of words such as “plans,” “expects,” “will,” “anticipates,” “estimates” and other words of similar meaning in conjunction with,
among other things: discussions of future operations; expected operating results and financial performance; impact of planned acquisitions and dispositions;
the Company’s strategy for growth; product development; regulatory approvals; market position and expenditures.
Because forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding future events, they are subject to uncertainties,
risks and changes that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company’s control. Investors should realize that if underlying assumptions
prove inaccurate, or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, the Company’s actual results and financial condition could vary materially from
expectations and projections expressed or implied in its forward-looking statements. Investors are therefore cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking
statements. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
Risks Related to Product Development, Market Success and Competition
• Challenges and uncertainties inherent in innovation and development of new and improved products and technologies on which the Company’s
continued growth and success depend, including uncertainty of clinical outcomes, additional analysis of existing clinical data, obtaining regulatory
approvals, health plan coverage and customer access, and initial and continued commercial success;
• Challenges to the Company’s ability to obtain and protect adequate patent and other intellectual property rights for new and existing products and
technologies in the United States and other important markets;
• The impact of patent expirations, typically followed by the introduction of competing biosimilars and generics and resulting revenue and market share
losses;
• Increasingly aggressive and frequent challenges to the Company’s patents by competitors and others seeking to launch competing generic, biosimilar or
other products and increased receptivity of courts, the United States Patent and Trademark Office and other decision makers to such challenges,
potentially resulting in loss of market exclusivity and rapid decline in sales for the relevant product sooner than expected;
• Competition in research and development of new and improved products, processes and technologies, which can result in product and process
obsolescence;
• Competition to reach agreement with third parties for collaboration, licensing, development and marketing agreements for products and technologies;
• Competition based on cost-effectiveness, product performance, technological advances and patents attained by competitors; and
• Allegations that the Company’s products infringe the patents and other intellectual property rights of third parties, which could adversely affect the
Company’s ability to sell the products in question and require the payment of money damages and future royalties.
Risks Related to Product Liability, Litigation and Regulatory Activity
• Product efficacy or safety concerns, whether or not based on scientific evidence, potentially resulting in product withdrawals, recalls, regulatory action
on the part of the United States Food and Drug Administration (or international counterparts), declining sales, reputational damage, increased litigation
expense and share price impact;
• Impact, including declining sales and reputational damage, of significant litigation or government action adverse to the Company, including product
liability claims and allegations related to pharmaceutical marketing practices and contracting strategies;
• Impact of an adverse judgment or settlement and the adequacy of reserves related to legal proceedings, including patent litigation, product liability,
personal injury claims, securities class actions, government investigations, employment and other legal proceedings;
• Increased scrutiny of the health care industry by government agencies and state attorneys general resulting in investigations and prosecutions, which
carry the risk of significant civil and criminal penalties, including, but not limited to, debarment from government business;
• Failure to meet compliance obligations in the McNEIL-PPC, Inc. Consent Decree or any other compliance agreements with governments or government
agencies, which could result in significant sanctions;
• Potential changes to applicable laws and regulations affecting United States and international operations, including relating to: approval of new
products; licensing and patent rights; sales and promotion of health care products; access to, and reimbursement and pricing for, health care products and
services; environmental protection and sourcing of raw materials;
• Compliance with local regulations and laws that may restrict the Company’s ability to manufacture or sell its products in relevant markets including,
requirements to comply with medical device reporting regulations and other requirements such as the European Union’s Medical Devices Regulation;
• Changes in domestic and international tax laws and regulations, including changes related to The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the United States, the Federal
Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing in Switzerland, increasing audit scrutiny by tax authorities around the world and exposures to additional tax
liabilities potentially in excess of existing reserves; and
• Issuance of new or revised accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and regulations by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Risks Related to the Company’s Strategic Initiatives and Healthcare Market Trends
• Pricing pressures resulting from trends toward health care cost containment, including the continued consolidation among health care providers and
other market participants, trends toward managed care, the shift toward governments increasingly becoming the primary payers of health care expenses,
significant new entrants to the health care markets seeking to reduce costs and government pressure on companies to voluntarily reduce costs and price
increases;
• Restricted spending patterns of individual, institutional and governmental purchasers of health care products and services due to economic hardship and
budgetary constraints;
• Challenges to the Company’s ability to realize its strategy for growth including through externally sourced innovations, such as development
collaborations, strategic acquisitions, licensing and marketing agreements, and the potential heightened costs of any such external arrangements due to
competitive pressures;
• The potential that the expected strategic benefits and opportunities from any planned or completed acquisition or divestiture by the Company may not
be realized or may take longer to realize than expected; and
• The potential that the expected benefits and opportunities related to past and ongoing restructuring actions may not be realized or may take longer to
realize than expected.
Risks Related to Economic Conditions, Financial Markets and Operating Internationally
• Market conditions and the possibility that the Company’s share repurchase program may be delayed, suspended or discontinued;
• Impact of inflation and fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates and the potential effect of such fluctuations on revenues, expenses and
resulting margins;
• Potential changes in export/import and trade laws, regulations and policies of the United States and other countries, including any increased trade
restrictions or tariffs and potential drug reimportation legislation;
• The impact on international operations from financial instability in international economies, sovereign risk, possible imposition of governmental
controls and restrictive economic policies, and unstable international governments and legal systems;
• Changes to global climate, extreme weather and natural disasters that could affect demand for the Company’s products and services, cause disruptions in
manufacturing and distribution networks, alter the availability of goods and services within the supply chain, and affect the overall design and integrity
of the Company’s products and operations; and
• The impact of armed conflicts and terrorist attacks in the United States and other parts of the world including social and economic disruptions and
instability of financial and other markets.
Risks Related to Supply Chain and Operations
• Difficulties and delays in manufacturing, internally through third party providers or otherwise within the supply chain, that may lead to voluntary or
involuntary business interruptions or shutdowns, product shortages, withdrawals or suspensions of products from the market, and potential regulatory
action;
• Interruptions and breaches of the Company’s information technology systems or those of the Company’s vendors which, could result in reputational,
competitive, operational or other business harm as well as financial costs and regulatory action;
• Reliance on global supply chains and production and distribution processes that are complex and subject to increasing regulatory requirements that may
adversely affect supply, sourcing and pricing of materials used in the Company’s products; and
• The potential that the expected benefits and opportunities related to restructuring actions contemplated for the global supply chain may not be realized
or may take longer to realize than expected, including due to any required approvals from applicable regulatory authorities. Disruptions associated with
the announced global supply chain actions may adversely affect supply and sourcing of materials used in the Company’s products.

PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
General
Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries (the Company) have approximately 135,100 employees worldwide engaged in the research and
development, manufacture and sale of a broad range of products in the health care field. Johnson & Johnson is a holding company, which has more than 260
operating companies conducting business in virtually all countries of the world. The Company’s primary focus is products related to human health and well-
being. Johnson & Johnson was incorporated in the State of New Jersey in 1887.
The Executive Committee of Johnson & Johnson is the principal management group responsible for the strategic operations and allocation of the
resources of the Company. This Committee oversees and coordinates the activities of the Company’s three business segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical and
Medical Devices. Within the strategic parameters provided by the Committee, senior management groups at U.S. and international operating companies are
each responsible for their own strategic plans and the day-to-day operations of those companies. Each subsidiary within the business segments is, with
limited exceptions, managed by residents of the country where located.
Segments of Business
The Company is organized into three business segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices. Additional information required by this
item is incorporated herein by reference to the narrative and tabular descriptions of segments and operating results under: “Item 7. Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” of this Report; and Note 18 “Segments of Business and Geographic Areas” of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report.

lifecycle development programs.
Medical Devices
The Medical Devices segment includes a broad range of products used in the orthopaedic, surgery, interventional solutions (cardiovascular and
neurovascular), diabetes care (divested in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2018) and eye health fields. These products are distributed to wholesalers, hospitals and
retailers, and used principally in the professional fields by physicians, nurses, hospitals, eye care professionals and clinics. They include orthopaedic
products; general surgery, biosurgical, endomechanical and energy products; electrophysiology products to treat cardiovascular disease; sterilization and
disinfection products to reduce surgical infection; and vision products such as disposable contact lenses and ophthalmic products related to cataract and laser
refractive surgery.
Geographic Areas
The business of Johnson & Johnson is conducted by more than 260 operating companies located in more than 60 countries, including the U.S.,
which sell products in virtually all countries throughout the world. The products made and sold in the international business include many of those described
above under “– Segments of Business – Consumer,” “– Pharmaceutical” and “– Medical Devices.” However, the principal markets, products and methods of
distribution in the international business vary with the country and the culture. The products sold in international business include those developed in the
U.S. and by subsidiaries abroad.
Investments and activities in some countries outside the U.S. are subject to higher risks than comparable U.S. activities because the investment and
commercial climate may be influenced by financial instability in international economies, restrictive economic policies and political and legal system
uncertainties.
Raw Materials
Raw materials essential to the Company’s business are generally readily available from multiple sources. Where there are exceptions, the temporary
unavailability of those raw materials would not likely have a material adverse effect on the financial results of the Company.
Patents
The Company’s subsidiaries have made a practice of obtaining patent protection on their products and processes where possible. They own, or are
licensed under, a significant number of patents in the U.S. and other countries relating to their products, product uses, formulations and manufacturing
processes, which in the aggregate are believed to be of material importance to the Company in the operation of its businesses. The Company’s subsidiaries
face patent challenges from third parties, including challenges seeking to manufacture and market generic and biosimilar versions of the Company’s key
pharmaceutical products prior to expiration of the applicable patents covering those products. Significant legal proceedings and claims involving the
Company’s patent and other intellectual property are described in Note 21, “Legal Proceedings—Intellectual Property” of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report.
Sales of the Company’s 2nd largest product, STELARA® (ustekinumab), accounted for approximately 6.3% of the Company’s total revenues for fiscal
2018. Accordingly, the patents related to this product are believed to be material to the Company.
There is one set of granted patents related specifically to STELARA®. This set of patents is owned by Janssen Biotech, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. These patents are in force in the U.S. and many countries outside the
2
United States. In the U.S., the latest projected expiration date for patents in this set is 2023 due to a patent term extension. In Europe, the latest projected
expiration date for patents in this set is 2024 due to a Supplemental Patent Certificate (patent term extension). In most other countries, the latest projected
expiration date is 2021.
In addition to competing in the immunology market with STELARA®, the Company is currently marketing SIMPONI® (golimumab) and SIMPONI
ARIA® (golimumab), next generation immunology products with remaining patent lives of up to six years. The Company also markets REMICADE®
(infliximab) in the immunology market which is the Company’s largest product. Patents on this product have expired and the Food and Drug Administration
approved the first infliximab biosimilar for sale in the U.S. in 2016, and a number of such products have been launched since then. For a more extensive
description of legal matters regarding the patents related to REMICADE®, see Note 21 “Legal Proceedings – Intellectual Property – Pharmaceutical –
REMICADE® Related Cases” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report.
Trademarks
The Company’s subsidiaries have made a practice of selling their products under trademarks and of obtaining protection for these trademarks by all
available means. These trademarks are protected by registration in the U.S. and other countries where such products are marketed. The Company considers
these trademarks in the aggregate to be of material importance in the operation of its businesses.
