Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Administrator of Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) at December 31, 2016 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedule reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedule, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

1. Description of the Plan

General

The Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is a participant directed defined contribution plan which was established on June 1, 1982 for eligible salaried and non-union hourly employees of Johnson & Johnson (the “Plan Administrator” or the “Company”) and certain domestic subsidiaries. The Plan was designed to enhance the existing retirement program of eligible employees. The funding of the Plan is made through employee and Company contributions. The net assets of the Plan are held in the Johnson & Johnson Pension and Savings Plans Master Trust (the “Trust” or "the Master Trust"). Transactions in the Trust are executed by the trustee, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street” or “Trustee”). Recordkeeping services are provided by Aon Hewitt. The Plan’s interest in the Trust is allocated to the Plan based upon the total of each participant’s share of the Trust.

This brief description of the Plan is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for complete information.

Contributions

In general, full-time salaried employees and certain non-union hourly, part-time and temporary employees can contribute to the Plan. There is no service requirement for employee contributions.

Contributions are made to the Plan by participants through payroll deductions and by the Company on behalf of the participants. Participating employees may contribute a minimum of 3% up to a maximum of 50% of eligible pay, as defined by the Plan. Contributions can be pre-tax, Roth, post-tax or a combination of all three. Pre-tax and Roth contributions may not exceed the smaller of (i) 50% of a participant’s base salary (and 1/2 paid commissions, if applicable) or (ii) $18,000 for 2016. The maximum contributions to a participant’s account including participant pre-tax, Roth and post-tax contributions and the Company match is $53,000 for 2016.

Participants age 50 and over are eligible to contribute extra pre-tax and/or Roth contributions (“catch-up contributions”) above the annual Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") limitations up to $6,000 in 2016. Participants can elect an amount to be contributed from each paycheck as their catch-up contribution. This amount will be in addition to the pre-tax, Roth and post-tax contribution percentages that participants have elected. The catch-up contribution is not eligible for the Company matching contribution.

After one year of service, participants receive a Company matching contribution equal to 75% of the first 6% of a participant’s contributions. The Company matching contribution is comprised of cash and invested in the current investment fund mix chosen by the participant.

In 2016, the Company offered a voluntary lump-sum payment option below a pre-determined threshold for certain eligible former employees who are vested participants of the Retirement Plan of Johnson & Johnson and Affiliated Companies. These eligible former employees had the option to roll the lump-sum payments into the Plan. The amount transferred into the Plan in 2016 totaled $40,994,912, and is included in employee contributions in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Investments

Participants may invest in one or more of the nine investment funds offered by the Plan. Each of the funds represents a mix of various investments. The investment mix chosen by the participant will apply to employee and Company matching contributions. Rollover contributions are invested at the election of the participant.

Participants receive dividends on Johnson & Johnson Common Stock shares held in the Johnson & Johnson Stock Fund and Johnson & Johnson Stock Contributions Fund. The dividends are automatically reinvested in the Johnson & Johnson Stock Fund unless specific elections are made to receive a cash payment. The 2016 dividend pass-through amount paid to participants of $6,053,319 is reflected in benefits paid to participants in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. For all other funds, the Trustee reinvests all dividend and interest income.

Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016 and 2015

Vesting

A participant’s interest in his/her account, including participant contributions, Company contributions and earnings thereon, is always fully vested. As a result, there are no forfeitures under the Plan.

Payment of Benefits

Participants are allowed to withdraw an amount equal to their pre-August 1, 2003 post-tax contributions and earnings thereon, and unmatched post-tax contributions made after August 1, 2003 by the employee and earnings thereon, at any time. Participants may withdraw pre-tax, Roth or post-tax matched contributions, and the employer match after August 1, 2003, only upon meeting certain hardship conditions. The benefits to which participants are entitled are the amounts provided by contributions (Company and participant) and investment earnings thereon, including net realized and unrealized gains and losses which have been allocated to the participant’s account balance. Participants have the option of receiving all or part of their balance in the Johnson & Johnson Stock Fund and/or the Johnson & Johnson Stock Contributions Fund as either cash or in shares of Johnson & Johnson Common Stock (plus cash for fractional shares) for lump sum distributions other than a hardship.

Benefits are also paid to participants upon termination of employment, long-term disability or retirement. Participants can elect to defer payment until age 70 1/2 if account balances are greater than $5,000. Distributions are paid either in a lump sum payment, partial payments or installment payments made on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis over a period of years selected by the participant.

A participant’s account may be distributed to his/her beneficiaries in lump sum, partials, in installments or maintained in the Trust upon the participant’s death only if the beneficiary is a spouse. Otherwise, it is paid to the beneficiary in a lump sum, either directly or rolled over to an Individual Retirement Account ("IRA").

Administrative Expenses

All third-party administrative expenses are paid by the Plan, unless otherwise provided for by the Company.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants may borrow up to a maximum of 50% of their account balance. The minimum loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum amount of all outstanding loans cannot exceed $50,000. Loans bear an interest rate of prime plus 1% and are repayable within one to five years. Due to acquisitions, there are some existing loans extending beyond five years, which must be allowed to continue once transferred into the Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan. The collateralized balances in the participant’s accounts have interest rates that range from 3.25% to 11.33%. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions for active employees. Loans must be paid within two months following retirement or termination of employment with the Company. If the loan is not repaid in full, the unpaid balance, plus accrued interest, will be deducted from the participant’s account balance and reported to the IRS as a distribution.

Termination

Although it has not expressed an intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of a partial or full Plan termination, all Plan funds must be used exclusively for the benefit of the Plan participants, in that each participant would receive the respective value in their account.

2 . Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This update removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share as a practical expedient, and also removes the requirements to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share as a practical expedient. This update is effective for the Plan’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early application permitted. The financial statements have been modified to reflect these changes.

Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016 and 2015

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-12, Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965): (Part I) Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts, (Part II) Plan Investment Disclosures, (Part III) Measurement Date Practical Expedient. Part I of this update requires fully benefit-responsive investment contracts to be measured, presented, and disclosed only at contract value. More information on the valuation methodology of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts can be found in footnote 3. The amendments in Part II of this update, requires that investments (both participant-directed and nonparticipant-directed investments) be grouped only by general type, eliminating the need to disaggregate the investments by nature, characteristics and risks. In addition, certain other investment disclosures are eliminated. Part III is not applicable to the Plan. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early application permitted. The financial statements have been modified to reflect these changes.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-06, Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965). This update removes the requirement to disclose the percentage interest in the master trust for plans with divided interests and requires that all plans disclose the dollar amount of their interest in each of those general types of investments. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early application permitted. This update will not have a material impact on the Plan's financial statements and Plan's management, Johnson & Johnson, is evaluating the impact of the update on the Plan's notes to the financial statements.

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition of the Trust

The Plan’s interest in the Trust is stated at fair value, except for the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts which are stated at contract value. The investment in the Trust represents the Plan's interest in the net assets of the Trust.

As the investment funds contain various underlying assets such as stocks and short-term investments, the participant’s account balance is reported in units of participation, which allows for immediate transfers in and out of the funds. The purchase or redemption price of the units is determined by the Trustee, based on the current market value of the underlying assets of the funds. Each fund’s net asset value for a single unit is computed by adding the value of the fund’s investments, cash and other assets, and subtracting liabilities, then dividing the result by the number of units outstanding.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are determined on the average cost method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and administrative expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

The Plan presents, in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits, the investment income/loss for the Plan's interest in the Trust which consists of the Plan’s allocated change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the underlying investments, realized gains and losses on sales of investments and investment income/loss.

Payment of Benefits

Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.

Derivatives

The Trust mitigates risk through structured trading with reputable parties and continual monitoring procedures. The Trust enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge against adverse changes in foreign exchange rates related to non-U.S. dollar denominated investments. The Trust is exposed to credit risk for non-performance by the counterparty and to market risk for changes in interest and currency rates. The Trust accounts for forward foreign exchange contracts at fair value.

Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016 and 2015

The Trust actively manages risk by periodically investing in interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and fixed income options. Interest rate swaps are used to manage interest rate risk and provide an effective means to adjust portfolio duration, maturity mix and term-structure. Credit default swaps are used to either synthetically add or reduce credit risk to an individual issuer or a basket of issuers. Depending on the type of contract, the counterparty risk exposure can be either with the exchange or another counter party. Fixed income options are used in various ways including: to pursue upside exposure to a portion of the yield curve, to capitalize on anticipated changes in market volatility, to focus on generating income, and to serve as a hedge. The Trust records interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and options at fair value.

The fair value of a forward foreign exchange contract is the aggregation by currency of all future cash flows discounted to its present value at the prevailing market interest rates and subsequently converted to the U.S. Dollar at the current spot foreign exchange rate. Interest rate swaps are valued daily using underlying yield curves based upon broker/dealer sources, present value of expected cash flow, and frequency of which it compounds and pays. Credit default swaps are valued using daily underlying yield curves and/or credit curves and spreads based upon broker/dealer/index sources, present value of expected cash flow, and frequency of which it compounds and pays including a weighted default calculation. Options are valued daily using underlying yield curves based upon broker/dealer sources, present value of expected cash flow, and frequency of which it compounds, and pays including an implied volatility calculation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Plan’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of Net Assets Available for Benefits at the date of the financial statements and the Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits during the reporting period and the applicable disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for various investment options in funds which can invest in a combination of equity, fixed income securities and other investments. Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts

Fully benefit-responsive investment contracts are reported at contract value. Contract value is the relevant measurement criteria for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan.

3. Master Trust

a. Fair Value Measurements

The assets of the Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan, the Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan for Union Represented Employees, the Johnson & Johnson Retirement Savings Plan, the Retirement Plan of Johnson & Johnson and Affiliated Companies, the Johnson & Johnson Retirement Plan for Union Represented Employees, and the Johnson & Johnson Retirement Plan for Puerto Rico Employees comprise the total of the Trust which is held by State Street.

The Plan’s valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Trust's investments carried at fair value. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon models that primarily use, as inputs, market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, equity or debt prices, foreign exchange rates and credit curves.

Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016 and 2015

While the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Valuation Hierarchy

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows:

• Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2 - quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

• Level 3 - inputs are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. These are usually negotiated prices between two parties.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the investments measured at fair value:

• Short-term investment funds - Cash and quoted short-term instruments are valued at the closing price or the amount held on deposit by the custodian bank where quoted prices are available in an active market and are classified as Level 1. Other investments are through investment vehicles valued using the Net Asset Value ("NAV") provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV is a quoted price in a market that is not active and classified as Level 2.

• Government & agency securities - The assets are comprised of government and agency securities and U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes of varying maturities. Level 2 fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows.

• Corporate debt - A limited number of these investments are valued at the closing price reported on the major market on which the individual securities are traded. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, the investments are classified as Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available for the specific security, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows and are classified as Level 2. Level 3 debt instruments are priced based on unobservable inputs, usually negotiated values agreed with the interested parties.

• Common and preferred stocks - U.S. and International common stocks are valued at the closing price reported on the major market on which the individual securities are traded. Substantially all common and preferred stocks are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

• Common Collective Trusts ("CCTs") - The fair value of all CCT interests have been determined using NAV as a practical expedient. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. CCTs are included in Investments measured at Net Asset Value.

• Mutual Funds - Mutual funds that have a quoted market price are classified as Level 2.

Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016 and 2015

• Other assets and liabilities, net - Other assets and liabilities are represented primarily by commercial loans and mortgages that are not classified as corporate debt. Other assets and liabilities, that are exchange listed and actively traded, are classified as Level 1 while inactively traded assets are classified as Level 2. The other assets and liabilities valued using unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3.

At December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Trust had unfunded commitments of underlying funds of the Limited Partnerships ("LPs") investments of $33,708,524 and $39,809,572, respectively. These commitments are expected to be satisfied with new cash flows, distributions from existing funds, reinvestment of proceeds and/or from selling existing investments. The LP investments have target maturity dates ranging from 2017 through 2022 with renewal options available to the Plan. The Trust's investments in the LPs are not redeemable at any point in time. The fair value of the LPs have been determined using NAV as a practical expedient. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. LPs are included in Investments measured at Net Asset Value.

b. Guaranteed and Synthetic Investment Contracts

The Trust holds investments in traditional and synthetic GICs. The weighted average insurance financial strength rating of the insurers for these contracts is AA-. These investments are recorded at their book values. The traditional and synthetic GICs’ contract value represents book value plus reinvested income adjusted for net cash flows. Both the traditional and synthetic GICs are fully benefit-responsive. Participants may under most circumstances direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. Currently no reserves are needed against contract values for credit risk of the contract issuers or otherwise.

The traditional GICs provide a fixed return on principal over a specified period of time through fully benefit-responsive contracts issued by an insurance company, which are backed by the general account of that insurer. The contract value of the traditional GICs was $1,084,302,563 and $950,283,619 at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The synthetic GIC provides a return over a period of time through a fully benefit-responsive contract, or wrapper contract, which is backed by the underlying assets owned by the Trust. The portfolio of assets, overall of AA credit quality, underlying the synthetic GIC primarily includes government and agency securities, corporate debt, mortgage backed securities, and asset backed securities. The contract value of the synthetic GIC was $879,244,823 and $859,844,334 at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

There are certain events not initiated by Plan participants that limit the ability of the Plan to transact with the issuer of a GIC at its contract value. Specific coverage provided by each traditional and synthetic GIC may be different from each issuer. Examples of such events include: the Plan’s failure to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") of 1986 as amended; full or partial termination of the Plan; involuntary termination of employment as a result of a corporate merger, divestiture, spin-off, or other significant business restructuring, which may include early retirement incentive programs or bankruptcy; changes to the administration of the Plan which decreases employee or employer contributions, the establishment of a competing plan by the plan sponsor, the introduction of a competing investment option, or other Plan amendment that has not been approved by the contract issuers; dissemination of a participant communication that is designed to induce participants to transfer assets from this investment option; events resulting in a material and adverse financial impact on the contract issuer, including changes in the tax code, laws or regulations. The Plan fiduciaries believe that the occurrence of any of the aforementioned events, which would limit the Plan’s ability to transact with the issuer of a GIC at its contract value, is not probable.

The net decrease of $1 million for 2016 represents loan retirements and payments toward outstanding loans of $53.3 million less loan issuances of $52.3 million.

6. Tax Status

The IRS has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated September 16, 2013, that the Plan and the Trust are in compliance with applicable sections of the IRC. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan Administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2016, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2013.

7. Related Party Transactions

Certain Plan investments are shares of CCTs and are managed by State Street Global Advisors, a division of State Street. State Street is the Trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total market value of investments in the institutional commingled funds allocated to the Plan and managed by State Street was $2,698,189,223 and $2,506,425,624, respectively.

The Plan also invests in shares of the Company. The Company is the Plan sponsor and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of investments in Johnson & Johnson Common Stock was $3,482,103,788 and $3,114,083,174, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Plan made purchases of $252,464,554 and sales of $259,439,385, of the Company’s common stock. The total dividend income received during 2016 was $94,695,921. The total realized and unrealized gains during 2016 were $127,665,545 and $1,782,937,450, respectively.
