Notes to the Interim Financial Statements 
 
1   BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (interim financial statements) for the nine months
ended 30 September 2017 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European
Union (EU) and as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 
 
The annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRSs) as adopted by the EU and as issued by the IASB. The interim financial statements have been prepared applying the
accounting policies and presentation that were applied in the preparation of the Group's published consolidated financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2016. There have been no significant new or revised accounting standards applied
in the nine months ended 30 September 2017. 
 
We have revised the balance sheet presentation of deferred tax with effect from 1 January 2017 with no impact upon net
deferred tax, balance sheet net assets, the cash flow statement or the income statement. This presentation change has
resulted in us showing gross, rather than net, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of a group entity. This
change has been made as that entity has transactions that are subject to tax by two different taxation authorities and has
the effect of separately disclosing the deferred tax effects for each country. The comparative balance sheet has not been
revised for this presentational change. If the 31 December 2016 and 30 September 2016 balances were presented in a
comparable way the deferred tax assets would have been $2,093m and $2,234m, respectively. The deferred tax liabilities
would have been $4,947m and $4,701m, respectively. 
 
As disclosed in our 2016 Annual Report on Page 181, the Group has entered into a number of financial derivative
transactions with commercial banks. The Group has agreements with some bank counterparties whereby the parties agree to
post cash collateral, for the benefit of the other, equivalent to the market valuation of the derivative positions above a
predetermined threshold. We have revised the balance sheet presentation of these collateral balances with effect from 1
January 2017, so that the cash collateral is included in cash and cash equivalents, with an offsetting liability presented
in current interest-bearing loans and borrowings. This revision has no impact on our balance sheet net assets, or the
income statement. The comparative balance sheet has not been revised for this presentational change. If the 31 December
2016 and 30 September 2016 balances were presented in a comparable way the cash and cash equivalents balance would have
been $5,260m and $3,345m, respectively. Current interest-bearing loans and borrowings would have been $2,549m and $3,194m,
respectively. 
 
Legal proceedings 
 
The information contained in Note 5 updates the disclosures concerning legal proceedings and contingent liabilities in the
Group's Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2016 and interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June
2017. 
 
Going concern 
 
The Group has considerable financial resources available. As at 30 September 2017 the Group has $6.1bn in financial
resources (cash balances of $4bn and undrawn committed bank facilities of $3bn which are available until April 2022, with
only $0.9bn of debt due within one year). The Group's revenues are largely derived from sales of products which are covered
by patents which provide a relatively high level of resilience and predictability to cash inflows, although our revenue is
expected to continue to be significantly impacted by the expiry of patents over the medium term. In addition, government
price interventions in response to budgetary constraints are expected to continue to adversely affect revenues in many of
our mature markets. However, we anticipate new revenue streams from both recently launched medicines and products in
development, and the Group has a wide diversity of customers and suppliers across different geographic areas. Consequently,
the Directors believe that, overall, the Group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. 
 
On the basis of the above paragraph, the going concern basis has been adopted in these interim financial statements. 
 
Financial information 
 
This results announcement does not constitute statutory accounts of the Group within the meaning of sections 434(3) and
435(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The Group's accounts for 2016 were published in the Annual Report 2016, which has been
delivered to the registrar of companies. The report of the auditors, KPMG LLP, was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a
reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii)

4   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 
 
As detailed in the Group's most recent annual financial statements, our principal financial instruments consist of
derivative financial instruments, other investments, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade and
other payables, and interest-bearing loans and borrowings. The accounting policies for financial instruments, including
fair value measurement, can be found on pages 144 and 145 of the Company's Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2016.
There have been no significant new or revised accounting standards applied in the nine months ended 30 September 2017 and
there have been no changes of significance to the categorisation or fair value hierarchy classification of our financial
instruments. During the year, we revised the balance sheet presentation of cash collateral balances held with commercial
bank counterparties, effective from 1 January 2017 (see Note 1). 
 
Financial instruments measured at fair value include $1,175m of other investments, $2,007m of loans, and $427m of
derivatives as at 30 September 2017. The total fair value of interest-bearing loans and borrowings at 30 September 2017
which have a carrying value of $17,852m in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, was $17,242m.
Contingent consideration liabilities arising on business combinations have been classified under Level 3 in the fair value
hierarchy and movements in fair value are shown below:

5    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 
 
AstraZeneca is involved in various legal proceedings considered typical to its business, including litigation and
investigations relating to product liability, commercial disputes, infringement of intellectual property rights, the
validity of certain patents, anti-trust law and sales and marketing practices. The matters discussed below constitute the
more significant developments since publication of the disclosures concerning legal proceedings in the Company's Annual
Report and Form 20-F Information 2016, the interim financial statements for the three months ended 31 March 2017 and the
interim financial statements for the three months ended 30 June 2017 (the Disclosures). Unless noted otherwise below or in
the Disclosures, no provisions have been established in respect of the claims discussed below. 
 
As discussed in the Disclosures, for the majority of claims in which AstraZeneca is involved it is not possible to make a
reasonable estimate of the expected financial effect, if any, that will result from ultimate resolution of the proceedings.
In these cases, AstraZeneca discloses information with respect only to the nature and facts of the cases but no provision
is made. 
 
In cases that have been settled or adjudicated, or where quantifiable fines and penalties have been assessed and which are
not subject to appeal, or where a loss is probable and we are able to make a reasonable estimate of the loss, we record the
loss absorbed or make a provision for our best estimate of the expected loss. 
 
The position could change over time and the estimates that we have made and upon which we have relied in calculating these
provisions are inherently imprecise. There can, therefore, be no assurance that any losses that result from the outcome of
any legal proceedings will not exceed the amount of the provisions that have been booked in the accounts. The major factors
causing this uncertainty are described more fully in the Disclosures and herein. 
 
AstraZeneca has full confidence in, and will vigorously defend and enforce, its intellectual property. 
 
Matters disclosed in respect of the third quarter of 2017 and to 9 November 2017. 
 
Patent litigation 
 
Faslodex (fulvestrant) 
 
US patent proceedings 
 
As previously disclosed, AstraZeneca has filed patent infringement lawsuits in the US District Court in New Jersey relating
to patents listed in the FDA Orange Book with reference to Faslodex after AstraZeneca received notice of Abbreviated New
Drug Applications (ANDA) seeking FDA approval to market generic versions of Faslodex prior to the expiration of
AstraZeneca's patents. As previously disclosed, AstraZeneca has resolved the lawsuits with several of the ANDA filers. In
October 2017, AstraZeneca resolved the lawsuit with an eighth ANDA filer. 
 
In October 2017, AstraZeneca received a Paragraph IV notice regarding a New Drug Application submitted pursuant to 21
U.S.C. § 355(b)(2) by Fresenius Kabi USA LLC relating to the same FDA Orange Book-listed patents. 
 
As previously disclosed, in February 2017, AstraZeneca was served with three petitions for inter partes review by the
Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the US Patent and Trademark Office relating to FDA Orange Book-listed patents with
reference to Faslodex. In September 2017, the PTAB denied institution of all three petitions, and no appeals have been made
to date. 
 
Imfinzi (durvalumab) 
 
US patent proceedings 
 
In July 2017, Bristol-Myers Squibb, E.R. Squibb & Sons L.L.C., Ono Pharmaceutical Co. and Tasuku Honjo filed a patent
infringement action in the US District Court in Delaware relating to AstraZeneca's commercialisation of Imfinzi in the US.
AstraZeneca filed an answer to the complaint in October 2017 alleging, inter alia, that the asserted patent is invalid and
not infringed. The litigation is ongoing. 
 
Calquence (acalabrutinib) 
 
US patent proceedings 
 
In November 2017, Pharmacyclics LLC filed a complaint in the US District Court for the District of Delaware against Acerta
Pharma BV, Acerta Pharma LLC, and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP (collectively, AstraZeneca) alleging that AstraZeneca's
Calquence infringes certain claims of US Patent Nos. 9,079,908; 9,139,591; and 9,556,182. AstraZeneca will respond to the
complaint in due course. 
 
Brilinta(ticagrelor) 
 
Patent proceedings outside the US 
 
In Canada, in June 2017, Teva Canada Limited challenged the patents listed on the Canadian Patent Register with reference
to Brilinta. In September 2017, Apotex Inc. did the same. AstraZeneca has commenced applications to respond to the
challenges. 
 
In China, in October 2017, the Chinese Patent Office issued a decision invalidating one of AstraZeneca's Chinese substance
patents relating to Brilinta. The patent, Chinese Patent No. ZL99815926.3, is due to expire in December 2019. AstraZeneca
will appeal the decision. 
 
Onglyza (saxagliptin) and Kombiglyze (saxagliptin and metformin) 
 
US patent proceedings 
 
As previously disclosed, in 2016, the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) instituted an inter partes review brought by
several generic entities challenging the validity of US Patent No. RE44,186 (the '186 Patent), which is listed in the FDA
Orange Book with reference to Onglyza and Kombiglyze XR. In August 2017, the USPTO decided in AstraZeneca's favour and
upheld the challenged claims of the '186 Patent. In October 2017, the USPTO's decision was appealed. 
 
Losec/Prilosec(omeprazole) 
 
Patent proceedings outside the US 
 
As previously disclosed, in Canada, in 2004, AstraZeneca brought proceedings against Apotex Inc. (Apotex) for infringement
of several patents related to Losec. In February 2015, the Federal Court of Canada (the Court) found that Apotex had
infringed AstraZeneca's Losec formulation patent (Canadian Patent No. 1,292,693). This finding was upheld on appeal. In
July 2017, after a reference to account for Apotex' profits earned as a result of the infringement, the Court issued its
decision describing how the quantification of monies owed to AstraZeneca should proceed. Apotex has appealed. 
 
Product liability litigation 
 
Onglyza (saxagliptin) and Kombiglyze (saxagliptin and metformin) 
 
As previously disclosed, AstraZeneca is defending claims in the US brought by plaintiffs alleging heart failure, cardiac
failure and/or death from treatment with Onglyza and/or Kombiglyze. In October 2017, counsel for a group of such plaintiffs
filed a motion with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation seeking the transfer of any currently pending federal
court cases as well as any similar, subsequently filed cases to a coordinated and consolidated pre-trial multidistrict
litigation proceeding. 
 
Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium) and Losec/Prilosec (omeprazole) 
 
As previously disclosed, in the US, AstraZeneca is defending various lawsuits involving multiple plaintiffs claiming that
they have been diagnosed with kidney injuries following treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), including Nexium and
Prilosec and, in May 2017, counsel for a group of such plaintiffs filed a motion with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict
Litigation (JPML) seeking the transfer of any currently pending federal court cases as well as any similar, subsequently
filed cases to a coordinated and consolidated pre-trial multidistrict litigation (MDL) proceeding. In August 2017, the JPML
granted the motion and consolidated the pending federal court cases in an MDL proceeding in federal court in New Jersey for
pre-trial purposes. 
 
In Canada, in July and August 2017, AstraZeneca was served with three putative class action lawsuits. Two of the lawsuits,
pending in Ontario and Saskatchewan, seek authorisation to represent individuals resident in Canada who allegedly suffered
kidney injuries from the use of proton pump inhibitors, including Nexium and Losec, and the third, pending in Quebec, seeks
authorisation to represent such individuals resident in Quebec. 
 
Commercial litigation 
 
Anti-Terrorism Act Civil Lawsuit 
 
In the US, in October 2017, AstraZeneca and certain other pharmaceutical and/or medical device companies were named as
defendants in a complaint filed in federal court in the District of Columbia by US nationals (or their estates, survivors,
or heirs) who were killed or wounded in Iraq between 2005 and 2009. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants violated the
US Anti-Terrorism Act and various state laws by selling pharmaceuticals and medical supplies to the Iraqi Ministry of
Health. 
 
Government investigations/proceedings 
 
Seroquel IR (quetiapine fumarate) and SeroquelXR (quetiapine fumarate) 
 
Texas Attorney General litigation 
 
As previously disclosed, in the US, in October 2014, following a previously disclosed investigation by the State of Texas
(the State) into AstraZeneca's sales and marketing activities involving Seroquel, the Texas Attorney General's Office
intervened in a State whistleblower action pending in Travis County Court, Texas (the County Court). The lawsuit alleges
that AstraZeneca engaged in inappropriate promotion of Seroquel and made improper payments intended to influence the
formulary status of Seroquel. The relief that the State seeks to recover from AstraZeneca includes trebled civil remedies,
penalties, interest, and attorneys' fees pursuant to the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act) and damages pursuant to Texas
common law. In June 2017, the Court entered an order denying all of the State's motions for summary judgment except for the
State's motion on the defence of waiver, and denying AstraZeneca's motion for summary judgment. 
 
The trial, which was scheduled for October 2017, has been postponed until after the Texas Supreme Court resolves the
appeals in unrelated cases called Nazari v. State and In re Xerox Corp. A provision has been taken with regard to claims
brought by the State and other related lawsuits. 
 
Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium) 
 
Federal Trade Commission inquiry 
 
As previously disclosed, in the US, in 2008, AstraZeneca received a Civil Investigative Demand from the US Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) in 2008 seeking information regarding the Nexium patent litigation settlement with Ranbaxy Laboratories
Ltd. This investigation was officially closed by the FTC in October 2017.
