Item 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure.

In December 2011 Pharmacyclics, Inc. (“Pharmacyclics”) and Janssen Biotech, Inc. and its affiliates (“Janssen”), one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical companies of Johnson & Johnson, entered into a Collaboration Agreement (the “Agreement”) for the development and commercialization of IMBRUVICA®.  Under the Agreement, Pharmacyclics recognizes product revenue in the United States and Janssen will recognize product revenue outside the United States.  Pre-tax profits or pre-tax losses from the commercialization of IMBRUVICA resulting from the collaboration are shared 50% / 50% between the companies.
 
Today, January 20, 2015, Johnson & Johnson reported their results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 28, 2014, and as part of that announcement they disclosed net revenue for IMBRUVICA worldwide and for the United States. The  net revenue for IMBRUVICA in the United States announced by Johnson & Johnson was calculated based on an approximation of Johnson & Johnson’s 50% US IMBRUVICA profit share, which is calculated as US IMBRUVICA Net Product Revenue less, Cost of Goods Sold less, Distribution Expenses less, US Commercialization Expenses as allowed under the Collaboration Agreement.
 
The information in this Item 7.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished and 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.  This Item 7.01 will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in this Item 7.01 that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.
