Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On April 20, 2009, we issued a press release announcing our results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, including, among other things, an income statement for those periods. In addition, on the same day we held a teleconference for analysts and media to discuss those results. The teleconference was web cast on our web site. The press release and related financial statements are attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
For the first quarter 2009, the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 includes a pro forma non-GAAP presentation of our results. We use non-GAAP financial measures, such as pro forma non-GAAP net income and pro forma non-GAAP earnings per share, that differ from financial statements reported in conformity to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1, we used non-GAAP financial measures in comparing the financial results for the first quarter of 2009 with the same period of 2008. Those measures include net sales, operating income, income before taxes, income taxes, effective tax rate, net income, and earnings per share adjusted to exclude the effect of the following items (described in more detail in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1):
    The following items in the first quarter of 2008:
    A tax benefit from resolution of a substantial portion of an IRS audit of the company’s federal income tax returns for the years 2001 to 2004.
 
    Asset impairments, restructuring (exit costs), and other special charges primarily related to the decision to terminate the development of the company’s AIR Insulin program.
 
    In-process research and development charges associated with an in-licensing transaction with BioMS Medical.
In addition, the pro forma non-GAAP presentation assumes that our November 2008 acquisition of ImClone Systems Incorporated (“ImClone”) was completed on January 1, 2008. We also quantified the impact on operating income of changes in foreign exchange rates from the first quarter of 2008 to the first quarter of 2009.
In the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1, we confirmed financial expectations for 2009. In addition to providing earnings per share expectations on a GAAP basis, we provided earnings per share expectations on a pro forma non-GAAP basis. In order to provide additional insight into the earnings-per-share growth comparison between 2008 results and expected 2009 results, we adjusted 2008 earnings per share for the first quarter 2008 items described above and for the items described below for the balance of 2008. We presented 2008 as if the ImClone acquisition were completed on January 1, 2008.

2


 

    In the fourth quarter of 2008:
    Charges related to the acquisition of ImClone, including in-process research and development, as well as ImClone operating results subsequent to the acquisition, incremental interest costs and amortization of the intangible asset associated with Erbitux®.
 
    Asset impairments, restructuring and other special charges.
 
    A tax benefit based upon the determination at final resolution of the agreement that a portion of the EDPA settlement charge, taken in the third quarter of 2008, is tax deductible.
    In the third quarter of 2008:
    Charges related to Zyprexa investigations with the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, as well as the resolution of a multi-state investigation regarding Zyprexa involving 32 states and the District of Columbia.
 
    Asset impairments and restructuring primarily driven by the sale of our Greenfield, Indiana site.
 
    Acquired in-process research and development associated with the SGX acquisition.
    In the second quarter of 2008:
    Restructuring (exit costs) and other special charges, primarily associated with previously-announced strategic exit activities related to manufacturing operations.
 
    Asset impairments associated with certain manufacturing operations (included in cost of sales).
 
    In-process research and development (IPR&D) charges associated with the licensing arrangement with TransPharma Medical Ltd.
The items that we exclude when we provide adjusted results or adjusted expectations are typically highly variable, difficult to predict, and of a size that could have a substantial impact on our reported operations for a period. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors. Among other things, they may help investors evaluate our ongoing operations. They can assist in making meaningful period-over-period comparisons and in identifying operating trends that would otherwise be masked or distorted by the items subject to the adjustments. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business, including to allocate resources and to evaluate results relative to incentive compensation targets.

3


 

Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. For the reasons described above for use of non-GAAP measures, our prospective earnings guidance is subject to adjustment for certain future matters, similar to those identified above, as to which prospective quantification generally is not feasible.
In accordance with GAAP, we have provided pro forma results in order to help investors make meaningful comparisons of 2009 to 2008 results and 2009 expectations and identify underlying operating trends that might otherwise be masked by the inclusion of ImClone results beginning in late November 2008.
The information in this Item 2.02 and the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 are considered furnished to the Commission and are not deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Lilly Reports Strong First-Quarter 2009 Results
    Q1 Revenue Increases 5% on a Reported Basis, Driven by Higher Volume.
 
    Foreign Exchange Rates Lead to Improved Gross Margin Percentage.
 
    Company Achieves Operating Leverage by Growing Revenue Faster Than Cost of Sales and Operating Expenses.
 
    Earnings Rise 24% (reported) or 36% (pro forma non-GAAP) to $1.20 per share.
Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2009.
Due to significant strategic actions taken by the company in 2008, financial results for 2008 are presented on both a reported basis and a pro forma non-GAAP basis. Reported results were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and include all revenue and expenses recognized by the company during the period. Pro forma non-GAAP results exclude significant items described in the reconciliation tables and also assume the ImClone acquisition was completed January 1, 2008. The pro forma non-GAAP results are presented in order to provide additional insights into the underlying trends in the company’s business. The company’s 2009 financial guidance is also being provided on both a reported and a pro forma non-GAAP basis.
First-Quarter Highlights
  O   Total revenue of $5.047 billion increased 5 percent on a reported basis and 3 percent on a pro forma basis, compared with the first quarter of 2008.
 
  O   The movement of foreign exchange rates led to an improved gross margin percentage.
 
  O   On a reported basis, net income and earnings per share grew to $1.313 billion and $1.20, respectively, compared with first-quarter 2008 net income of $1.064 billion and earnings per share of $.97.

 


 

  O   On a pro forma non-GAAP basis, net income and earnings per share grew to $1.313 billion and $1.20, respectively, compared with first-quarter 2008 net income of $961.9 million and earnings per share of $.88.
“Despite the downturn in the economy, in the first quarter of 2009, Lilly delivered strong financial results, with good underlying operational performance, aided in part by movements in exchange rates,” said John C. Lechleiter Ph.D., Lilly’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Our revenue growth included solid volume-based gains, while our gross margin percentage benefited from a stronger U.S. Dollar. These results, in combination with prudent expense management, helped us to achieve operating leverage and robust earnings per share growth.”
Significant Events Over the Last Three Months
    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee voted 9 to 0 that prasugrel, an investigational antiplatelet agent, should be approved for the treatment of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) managed with an artery-opening procedure known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
 
    The European Commission granted marketing authorization for Efient® (prasugrel) for the prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with ACS undergoing PCI. The product has now been launched in both Germany and the United Kingdom.
 
    The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. overturned a lower court decision and ruled in favor of the company in the case of Ariad Pharmaceuticals et al. v. Eli Lilly and Company, holding that Ariad’s patent claims purporting to cover Evista® and Xigris® are invalid.
 
    A bench trial was held in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana regarding the company’s patent litigation for Evista. A temporary restraining order currently prohibits the launch of a generic version of Evista by Teva Pharmaceuticals. The company expects a ruling on a preliminary injunction motion by April 23, 2009. If granted, the preliminary injunction would enjoin Teva from launching prior to a final ruling.
 
    The FDA approved a new indication for Symbyax® for the acute treatment of treatment-resistant depression (TRD) in adults.
 
    The FDA approved two new combination indications for Zyprexa® (olanzapine) and fluoxetine for the acute treatment of bipolar depression and TRD in adults.

    The company received a complete response letter from the FDA for the first-line squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Erbitux®.
 
    The company submitted a reply to the FDA regarding the agency’s complete response letter for Zyprexa long-acting injection. The company also launched this product under the tradename ZypadheraTM in several countries within the European Union.
First-Quarter Significant Items Affecting Reported Net Income
There were no significant items affecting net income in the first quarter of 2009; however, the reported earnings per share for the first quarter of 2008 were favorably affected by significant items netting to $.05 per share. To reflect the impact of the ImClone acquisition as if the acquisition occurred in January 1, 2008, first quarter 2008 pro forma earnings per share have been reduced by $.04 per share. These items are summarized below and in the table that follows:
2008
    The company recognized a charge of $145.7 million, or $.09 per share, for asset impairments, restructuring and other special charges primarily related to the termination of the AIR® Insulin program.
 
    The company recognized a charge of $87.0 million, or $.05 per share, for acquired in-process research and development associated with the BioMS in-licensing arrangement.
 
    The company recognized a discrete income tax benefit of $210.3 million as a result of the resolution of a substantial portion of the IRS audit of its federal income tax returns for years 2001 through 2004, which increased earnings per share by $.19.
 
    Assuming the ImClone acquisition was completed on January 1, 2008, the pro forma impact of the acquisition would have decreased net income by $.04 per share in the first quarter of 2008.

First-Quarter Reported Results
In the first quarter, worldwide total revenue was $5.047 billion, an increase of 5 percent compared with the first quarter of 2008. This 5 percent revenue growth was comprised of a 7 percent increase due to higher volume and a 3 percent increase due to higher prices, partially offset by a 6 percent decline due to the impact of foreign exchange rates (numbers do not add due to rounding). Worldwide total revenue of $5.047 billion was comprised of product sales of $4.892 billion, an increase of 4 percent, and collaboration and other revenue of $155.2 million, an increase of 58 percent, primarily due to the inclusion of Erbitux revenue as a result of the ImClone acquisition. U.S. total revenue increased 13 percent to $2.872 billion. Total revenue outside the U.S. decreased 4 percent to $2.175 billion due to the negative impact of foreign exchange rates.
Gross margin as a percent of total revenue increased by 6.9 percentage points, to 83.8 percent. This increase was due to the impact on international inventories from the decline in foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, resulting in a benefit to cost of sales.
Marketing, selling and administrative expenses decreased 1 percent, to $1.529 billion. This decrease was due to the impact of foreign exchange rates and a reduction in expenses related to U.S. marketing programs, partially offset by the impact of the ImClone acquisition and increased prasugrel pre-launch activities. Research and development expenses were $947.3 million, or 19 percent of revenue. Compared with the first quarter of 2008, research and development expenses grew 8 percent due primarily to the ImClone acquisition and increased late-stage clinical trial

and discovery research costs, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates. Total operating expenses, defined as the sum of research and development, marketing, selling and administrative expenses, increased 2 percent compared with the first quarter of 2008.
In the first quarter of 2008, the company recognized a charge of $145.7 million for asset impairments, restructuring and other special charges primarily related to the termination of the AIR® Insulin program and a charge of $87.0 million for acquired in-process research and development associated with the BioMS in-licensing arrangement.
Operating income increased 69 percent to $1.754 billion. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, operating income would have increased 45 percent.
Other income (expense) decreased by $91.0 million, to a net expense of $70.7 million, primarily due to lower interest income and higher interest expense associated with the ImClone acquisition, as well as lower business development income.
The effective tax rate was 22 percent in the first quarter of 2009. In the first quarter of 2008, the company reported an aggregate income tax benefit of $8.0 million due to the recognition of a $210.3 million discrete benefit as a result of the resolution of a substantial portion of the IRS audit of the company’s federal income tax returns for years 2001 through 2004.
Net income and earnings per share increased to $1.313 billion and $1.20, respectively, compared with first-quarter 2008 net income of $1.064 billion and earnings per share of $.97.
First-Quarter Pro Forma non-GAAP Results
Worldwide pro forma total revenue for the first quarter of 2009 was $5.047 billion, an increase of 3 percent compared with the first quarter of 2008. This 3 percent revenue growth was comprised of a 5 percent increase due to higher volume and a 3 percent increase due to higher prices, partially offset by a 5 percent decline due to the impact of foreign exchange rates. Gross margin as a percent of total revenue increased by 7.3 percentage points, to 83.8 percent. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses decreased 3 percent, while research and development expenses increased 4 percent. Total operating expenses, defined as the sum of research and development, marketing, selling and administrative expenses, were flat compared

with the first quarter of 2008. Operating income increased 38 percent to $1.754 billion. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, operating income would have increased 19 percent. Other income (expense) decreased $25.4 million. The effective tax rate was 22 percent. Net income and earnings per share increased 37 percent and 36 percent, respectively, to $1.313 billion and $1.20 per share, primarily due to improved gross margins.

Sales outside the U.S. decreased 21 percent, to $198.3 million, as a result of the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, reduced prices and the entry of generic competition in most major markets.

Humulin

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations, but actual results may differ materially due to various factors. There are significant risks and uncertainties in pharmaceutical research and development. There can be no guarantees with respect to pipeline products that the products will receive the necessary clinical and manufacturing regulatory approvals or that they will prove to be commercially successful. The company’s results may also be affected by such factors as competitive developments affecting current products; rate of sales growth of recently launched products; the timing of anticipated regulatory approvals and launches of new products; regulatory actions regarding currently marketed products; other regulatory developments and government investigations; patent disputes and other litigation involving current and future products; the impact of governmental actions regarding pricing, importation, and reimbursement for pharmaceuticals; changes in tax law; asset impairments and restructuring charges; acquisitions and business development transactions; and the impact of exchange rates and global macroeconomic conditions. For additional information about the factors that affect the company’s business, please see the company’s latest Form 10-K filed February 2009. The company undertakes no duty to update forward-looking statements.
