147 Largest US Health Care Corporations With Dec 2017, Jan 2018 or Feb 2018 Quarter Ends Posted 4Q 2017 Total Earnings of Only $3.430 Bil, Down 86% From Their 4Q 2016 Total Earnings of $24.048 Bil ........................................................................................ This 86% Total Earnings Decline Was Caused Predominately By Massive Total Mandatory Foreign Earnings Repatriation Toll Tax Expenses of $72.3 Bil in the 4Q 2017, Which Exceeded the 4Q 2017 Total Income Tax Benefits Courtesy of the Total Tax Debt Forgiveness of a Huge $54.7 Bil ........................................................................................ When All Three Largest Trump Tax Effects Are Excluded (Income Tax Benefit From Tax Debt Forgiveness of $54.676 Bil, Income Tax Expense From the Mandatory Foreign Earnings Repatriation Toll Tax of $72.316 Bil and the Income Tax Expense From the Decline in Value of Deferred Income Tax Assets of $2.224 Bil), As-Adjusted 4Q 2017 Total Earnings Were $23.294 Bil, Down 3% From Their 4Q 2016 Total Earnings of $24.048 Bil

From SEC filings, below here is Net Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for the 4Q 2017 and the 4Q 2016 as well as the Trump Tax Cuts Act (TTCA) 4Q 2017 US Federal Income Tax Earnings Effects for the 146 largest US Health Care Corps with Stock Market Caps of at least $2 Bil.  US Health Insurance Corps were excluded.

Also excluded below are many foreign Drug Corps with substantial US operations and thus having their 4Q 2017 earnings dramatically impacted when the US Trump Tax Cuts Act was signed into law on Dec 22, 2017.  To show just how big a deal this is, let me just cite a very small handful of them:

  • Israel HQed Teva Pharmaceutical Industries posted a 4Q 2017 Net Loss of US$11.730 Bil versus a 4Q 2016 Net Loss of US$974 Mil.  Included in its 4Q 2017 Net Loss was a $1.061 Bil US Federal Income Tax Benefit from the US Tax Debt Forgiveness feature in the US Trump Tax Cuts Act.
  • Ireland HQed Shire plc generated 4Q 2017 Net Income From Continuing Operations of US$3.106 Bil versus US$476 Mil in the 4Q 2016.  Of the 4Q 2017 Net Income of $3.1 Bil, $2.5 Bil or 81% of it was courtesy of the US Tax Debt Forgiveness feature embedded in the US Trump Tax Cuts Act.
  • UK HQed GlaxoSmithKline's 4Q 2017 earnings include an Income Tax Expense charge of US$2.3 Bil from a combination of the decline in the value of its US Deferred Income Tax Assets and a US Foreign Earnings Repatriation Toll Tax Expense, both embedded in the US Trump Tax Cuts Act.
