Wyeth Reports Earnings Results for the 2007 Third Quarter and First N...(er and first nine months of $6326...),Health

and first nine months of $63,265 and $202,048, respectively, compared

with $60,630 and $193,864 for the prior year.

(2) The average number of common shares outstanding for diluted earnings

per share is higher than for basic earnings per share due to the

assumed conversion of the Company's outstanding convertible senior

debentures, outstanding stock options, deferred contingent common

stock awards, restricted stock awards and convertible preferred stock

into common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method. For

purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, interest expense,

net of capitalized interest and taxes related to the Company's

outstanding convertible senior debentures is added back to reported

net income, and the additional common shares (assuming conversion) are

included in total shares outstanding. Interest expense, net of

capitalized interest and taxes was $7,838 and $23,617 for the 2007

third quarter and first nine months, respectively, compared with

$8,100 and $21,841 for the 2006 third quarter and first nine months,

respectively.
