Elanco Animal Health Reports Second Quarter
GREENFIELD, IN (August 8, 2022) - Elanco Animal Health
Incorporated (NYSE: ELAN) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2022, provided guidance for the third quarter of
2022, and updated guidance for the full year 2022.
"Our relentless efforts to drive operational efficiency from
our company-wide productivity agenda allowed us to grow adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS despite topline pressures in the quarter,"
said Jeff Simmons, Elanco president and chief executive officer. "Our global teams are executing on items within our control while
continuing to weather the many macro challenges that are creating headwinds to our business. While we are reducing our revenue expectations
for the full year primarily based on these macro factors, we expect to deliver improved margins that will enable us to grow full year
adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS compared to 2021."
"Looking ahead, our innovation engine is building momentum and
we are delighted with the pace of development of our late-stage pipeline. In July, we launched Zorbium, a feline pain product in the U.S.,
and are seeing a strong start. Within the next two to four months, we expect to make regulatory submissions for two differentiated Pet
Health products, a parasiticide and a dermatology product, both with the potential to be blockbusters. We believe that our broad spectrum
parasiticide product has crossed the so-called 'heartworm threshold', an important step on the path to approval and commercial success.
And finally, we in-licensed a first-in-class feline diabetes product with FDA approval expected with the next 12 months. As our product
development pipeline continues to progress and mature, our prospects for accelerated revenue growth improve."

(1) CER = Constant Exchange Rate, representing the
growth rate excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates.
Certain reclassifications of prior year farm animal species revenue
have been made to conform to the current year's presentation.
Numbers may not add due to rounding.
In the second quarter of 2022, revenue was $1,177 million, a decrease
of 8% on a reported basis, or a decrease of 4% excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, compared with the second quarter
Pet Health revenue was $612 million, a decrease of 11% on
a reported basis or a decrease of 7% excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rates, with a 1% increase from price in
the quarter as executed list price increases were partially offset by rebate and in-store marketing programs, primarily in the U.S.
retail business. The Advantage Family of products contributed $137 million, representing a 7% decline on a reported
basis, or a 3% decline excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. Seresto contributed $113 million, representing a
12% decline on a reported basis, or a 6% decline excluding the unfavorable impact for foreign exchange rates. For the second quarter
excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, declines in older generation parasiticide products, supply chain
disruption in the U.S. for certain retail products, and lower demand for Seresto was partially offset by growth in the Credelio
Farm Animal revenue was $553 million, a decrease of 2% on a
reported basis or an increase of 3% excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rates, with a 2% increase from price. Excluding
the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, increased demand for ruminant products internationally, notably sheep products, and
the timing of generic defense programs for Rumensin shifting sales expected in the third quarter of 2022 into the second quarter was partially
offset by pressured economics for swine and poultry producers in China and a decline for swine in Europe.
Contract Manufacturing revenue was $12 million, a decrease of
56% or 53% when excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rates.
Reported and adjusted gross profit was $693 million, or 58.9% of revenue
in the second quarter of 2022. Gross profit as a percent of revenue improved 200 bps on a reported basis and 190 bps on an adjusted basis,
primarily driven by continued improvements in manufacturing productivity and price, and the effect of foreign exchange rates on international
inventories sold, partially offset by inflation on input costs, freight and conversion costs and unfavorable mix from lower Pet Health
Total operating expense was $425 million for the second quarter of
2022. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses decreased 11% to $343 million, and research and development expenses decreased 13%
to $82 million. The decrease in total operating expenses was primarily driven by the disciplined execution of recent strategic actions
and the benefit of a stronger U.S. dollar more than offsetting cost inflation and continued investment in key strategic priorities, including
Asset impairment, restructuring, and other special charges was $86
million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $299 million in the second quarter of 2021. Charges recorded in the second quarter
of 2022 primarily related to a $59 million charge recorded for IPR&D related to the feline diabetes care asset Elanco licensed
during the quarter and costs associated with the implementation of new systems, programs, and processes due to the integration of Bayer
Animal Health. We continue to expect the integration to be completed by mid-2023.
Reported net interest expense increased to $67 million in the second
quarter of 2022 from $60 million in the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to a debt extinguishment loss recorded upon the retirement
of a portion of the company's senior notes and the impact of rate increases on variable rate debt. Adjusted net interest expense was $50
million, or a decline of $10 million compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily driven by the repayment of the company's $500
million bond in August of 2021.
The reported effective tax rate decreased to negative 22.5% in the
second quarter of 2022 compared to 11.1% in the second quarter of 2021, primarily driven by the jurisdictional location of Elanco profits
and a benefit from a cash interest rate swap settlement. The adjusted effective tax rate decreased from 29.6% in the second quarter of
2021 to 18.0% in the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by the jurisdictional location of Elanco profits and discrete items which
increased tax expense in the second quarter of 2021 and decreased tax expense in the second quarter of 2022.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was $22 million and $(0.04)
per diluted share on a reported basis, compared with a net loss of $210 million and $(0.43) per diluted share for the same period in 2021.
On an adjusted basis, net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $177 million, a 31% increase as compared to the second quarter of
2021, or $0.36 per diluted share, a 29% increase compared with the same period in 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA was $300 million in the second quarter of 2022, an
increase of 3% compared to the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue was 25.5% compared with 22.8% for the second
quarter of 2021, an increase of 270 basis points.
Working Capital and Balance Sheet
Cash flow from operations was $312 million in the second quarter
of 2022 compared to $149 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in cash from operations in the second quarter of 2022
reflects a lower reported net loss and the benefit of a net $124 million cash interest rate swap settlement. The settlement provided
a cash benefit in the second quarter of 2022 that will negatively impact operating cash flow over the next four years as this cash acceleration
As of June 30, 2022, Elanco's net leverage ratio was 5.3x
adjusted EBITDA, a decrease of 0.3x compared to March 31, 2022, driven by lower net debt and better adjusted EBITDA. Elanco expects
to improve its net leverage over the rest of 2022, ending the year at approximately 5.0x adjusted EBITDA.

Select Business Highlights Since the Last
Elanco is updating financial guidance for the full year 2022, summarized
in the following table:
| 2022 Full Year (dollars in millions, except per share amounts) | May Guidance | August Guidance | ||||||||||
| Revenue | $4,700 | to | $4,755 | $4,465 | to | $4,550 | ||||||
| Reported Net Income (Loss) | $10 | to | $41 | $(48) | to | $(15) | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $1,125 | to | $1,165 | $1,060 | to | $1,100 | ||||||
| Reported EPS | $0.02 | to | $0.09 | $(0.10) | to | $(0.03) | ||||||
| Adjusted EPS | $1.15 | to | $1.21 | $1.06 | to | $1.13 |
For the full year 2022, the company now anticipates revenue
between $4,465 million and $4,550 million, including a headwind of approximately $205 million from the unfavorable impact of foreign
exchange rates compared to 2021. Elanco is reducing its full year guidance range by $220 million at the midpoint compared to its
May guidance. The reduction includes an incremental $65 million headwind from foreign exchange rates and $100 to $120 million
from macro environmental factors including the pace of recovery from China's Covid lockdowns, disruptions in the global supply
chain, and the impact from an expected economic slowdown around the world. Additionally, the reduction includes a $40 to $50 million
headwind related to company-specific factors including pricing realization, slower innovation ramp, and U.S. parasiticides
competition. Finally, the company has updated its guidance for reported net income, adjusted EBITDA, reported EPS and adjusted EPS
to reflect the expected impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar, reduction in revenue, and the impact of increased inflation.
"While the change in revenue guidance today by $220 million is
significant, the durability and diversity of Elanco's portfolio remains highly valuable to our customers. Even with the myriad
factors from the war in Ukraine and Covid lockdowns in China to droughts and excessive heat across U.S. cattle country, as well as competitive
pressures in U.S. Pet Health, we are declining by approximately $50 million in constant currency sales in 2022, while we are increasing
