Certain financial information for 2016 and 2015 is presented on both a reported and a non-GAAP basis. Some numbers in this press release may not add due to rounding. Reported results were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and include all revenue and expenses recognized during the periods. Non-GAAP measures exclude the items described in the reconciliation tables later in the release. The company’s 2016 financial guidance is also being provided on both a reported and a non-GAAP basis. The non-GAAP measures are presented to provide additional insights into the underlying trends in the company’s business.

“Lilly’s volume-driven growth in the third quarter was once again led by our portfolio of recently approved medicines including Trulicity, Cyramza, Taltz and Jardiance,” said John C. Lechleiter, Ph.D., Lilly’s chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Our pipeline also continues to advance with a wide array of promising treatments for conditions from Alzheimer’s disease to diabetes and cancer. Our focus on innovation and bringing important new medicines to the people who need them is leading Lilly into a new era of growth for the benefit of patients and shareholders alike.”

Key Events Over the Last Three Months
Regulatory
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval of LartruvoTM (olaratumab), in combination with doxorubicin, for the treatment of adults with soft tissue sarcoma with a histologic subtype for which an anthracycline-containing regimen is appropriate and which is not amenable to curative treatment with radiotherapy or surgery. Lartruvo’s indication was approved under the Accelerated Approval process and is based on data from a Phase 2 trial. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.
The company and AstraZeneca received FDA Fast Track designation for the development program in Alzheimer’s disease for AZD3293, an oral beta secretase cleaving enzyme (BACE) inhibitor currently in Phase 3 clinical trials. The FDA’s Fast Track program is designed to expedite the development and review of new therapies to treat serious conditions and address key unmet medical needs.
The European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) issued positive opinions recommending:
Conditional marketing authorization for Lartruvo (olaratumab), in combination with doxorubicin, for the treatment of adults with advanced soft tissue sarcoma not amenable to curative treatment with radiotherapy or surgery and who have not been previously treated with doxorubicin.
Marketing authorization for Glyxambi®, a single tablet combining Jardiance® (empagliflozin) and Trajenta® (linagliptin), for use in adults with type 2 diabetes. Glyxambi, Jardiance and Trajenta are part of the company’s alliance with Boehringer Ingelheim.
Clinical
Following a pre-planned interim analysis, an independent Data Monitoring Committee recommended continuing a Phase 3 trial of abemaciclib without modification as the interim efficacy criteria were not met. The trial will continue into the first half of 2017. The trial

compares abemaciclib with fulvestrant versus placebo with fulvestrant in women with hormone-receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
Taltz® met its primary endpoint of ACR20 response rate in a Phase 3 study investigating the treatment of psoriatic arthritis. Taltz showed improved signs and symptoms in adult patients who have previously been treated with a biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug. Lilly plans to submit to the FDA during the first half of 2017.
Earlier this month, last patient visit was achieved in the Phase 3 trial evaluating solanezumab in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease. As a result, the company plans to issue a top-line press release before the end of the year.
Business Development/Other
The company announced an agreement to acquire Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc.’s U.S. feline, canine and rabies vaccines portfolio, as well as a fully integrated manufacturing and research and development site, for approximately $885 million, including the estimated cost of acquired inventory. The acquisition is anticipated to close by early 2017, subject to approval by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and also subject to both antitrust approval of and the closing of a previously announced asset swap transaction between Boehringer Ingelheim and Sanofi SA.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office determined that the method-of-use patents for Effient® are invalid. The patents would have provided intellectual property protection until 2023. The owners of the patent, Daiichi Sankyo and Ube, have appealed this ruling.
The company announced that John C. Lechleiter will retire as president and chief executive officer from the company effective December 31, 2016. Lechleiter will continue on Lilly’s board of directors until May 31, 2017, serving as non-executive chairman. David A. Ricks, currently senior vice president and president, Lilly Bio-Medicines, will assume the role of president and chief executive officer and join the board on January 1, 2017. He will become chairman of the board on June 1, 2017.

Third-Quarter Reported Results
In the third quarter of 2016, worldwide revenue was $5.192 billion, an increase of 5 percent compared with the third quarter of 2015. The increase in revenue was driven by a 4 percent increase in volume and 1 percent favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by 1 percent due to lower realized prices. The increase in worldwide volume was driven by new pharmaceutical products, including Trulicity®, Cyramza®, Taltz and Jardiance, as well as Humalog® and Erbitux® (due to the transfer of commercialization rights in North America to Lilly), partially offset by lower volumes for Zyprexa®, animal health products, Alimta® and Cialis®.

Revenue in the U.S. increased 12 percent to $2.838 billion, driven by increased volume for several pharmaceutical products, including Trulicity, Humalog, Taltz and Jardiance, as well as Erbitux (due to the transfer of commercialization rights in North America to Lilly), partially offset by lower volumes for animal health products, Zyprexa and Cialis. Higher realized prices in the U.S., primarily for Cialis and Forteo®, were largely offset by lower realized prices for Humalog. When the Cymbalta® patent expired at the end of 2013, the return reserve was increased to reflect expected product returns. As a result of lower-than-expected return volume, a reduction of approximately $145 million in the Cymbalta return reserve increased U.S. revenue in the third quarter of 2016, favorably impacting both volume and price.

Revenue outside the U.S. decreased 3 percent to $2.354 billion, as lower realized prices and volume, primarily from the losses of exclusivity for Cymbalta in Europe and Canada, Zyprexa in Japan and Alimta in several countries, more than offset increased volume for several recently launched pharmaceutical products, including Trulicity and Cyramza, and the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, primarily the Japanese yen, partially offset by other foreign currencies.

Gross margin increased 2 percent to $3.791 billion in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the third quarter of 2015. Gross margin as a percent of revenue was 73.0 percent, a decline of 2.1 percentage points compared with the third quarter of 2015. The decline in gross margin percent was


 5






 

primarily due to a lower benefit from foreign exchange rates on international inventories sold and, to a lesser extent, the transfer of Erbitux® commercialization rights in North America.

Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2016, defined as the sum of research and development and marketing, selling and administrative expenses, were $2.802 billion, an increase of 3 percent compared with the third quarter of 2015. Research and development expenses increased 8 percent to $1.236 billion, driven primarily by higher late-stage clinical development costs. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses decreased 1 percent to $1.565 billion, as reduced spending on late-life-cycle products was largely offset by expenses related to new products.

The company recognized asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges of $45.5 million and $42.4 million in the third quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively, primarily related to integration and severance costs for Novartis Animal Health.

Operating income in the third quarter of 2016 was $943.5 million, a decline of 2 percent compared with the third quarter of 2015, driven by higher research and development expenses, partially offset by higher gross margin.

Other income (expense) was income of $27.2 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared with income of $86.5 million in the third quarter of 2015. The decline in other income was driven by lower net gains on investments in the third quarter of 2016 compared with 2015.

The effective tax rate was 19.9 percent in the third quarter of 2016, compared with 23.7 percent in the third quarter of 2015. The decline in the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2016 is primarily due to the benefit of certain U.S. tax provisions, including the R&D tax credit, reinstated for 2016.

In the third quarter of 2016, net income and earnings per share decreased 3 percent to $778.0 million, and $0.73, respectively, compared with $799.7 million and $0.75, respectively, in the third quarter of


 6






 

2015. The declines in net income and earnings per share were driven by lower other income and lower operating income, partially offset by a lower effective tax rate.

Third-Quarter 2016 Non-GAAP Measures
On a non-GAAP basis, third-quarter 2016 gross margin increased 3 percent to $3.967 billion. Gross margin as a percent of revenue was 76.4 percent, a decline of 1.4 percentage points compared with the third quarter of 2015. The decline in gross margin percent was primarily due to a lower benefit from foreign exchange rates on international inventories sold.
 
Operating income decreased $10.7 million, or 1 percent, to $1.167 billion in the third quarter of 2016, as higher operating expenses were largely offset by higher gross margin.

The effective tax rate was 22.0 percent in the third quarter of 2016, compared with 24.9 percent in the third quarter of 2015. The decline in the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2016 is primarily due to the benefit of certain U.S. tax provisions, including the R&D tax credit, reinstated for 2016.

Net income decreased 2 percent to $931.0 million, and earnings per share decreased 1 percent to $0.88 in the third quarter of 2016, compared with $949.6 million and $0.89, respectively, in the third quarter of 2015. The declines in net income and earnings per share were driven by lower other income and, to a lesser extent, lower operating income, partially offset by a lower effective tax rate.

Selected Established Pharmaceutical Products
Humalog
For the third quarter of 2016, Humalog revenues decreased 9 percent compared with the third quarter of 2015 to $640.8 million. Revenues in the U.S. decreased 14 percent to $378.8 million, driven by lower realized prices, partially offset by increased demand. The decrease in realized prices for the third quarter of 2016 also included changes in estimates for rebates and discounts. Revenues outside the U.S. decreased 1 percent to $262.0 million, as the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates was largely offset by higher realized prices.

Cialis
Cialis revenues for the third quarter of 2016 increased 4 percent compared with the third quarter of 2015 to $588.2 million. U.S. revenues of Cialis were $348.5 million, an 11 percent increase compared with the third quarter of 2015, driven by higher realized prices, partially offset by lower demand. Revenues of Cialis outside the U.S. decreased 5 percent to $239.7 million, driven by decreased volume and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by higher realized prices.

Alimta
For the third quarter of 2016, Alimta generated revenues of $570.4 million, a decline of 9 percent compared with the third quarter of 2015. U.S. revenues of Alimta decreased 7 percent to $277.0 million, driven primarily by decreased demand due to competitive pressure. Revenues outside the U.S. decreased 12 percent to $293.4 million, driven primarily by the loss of exclusivity in several countries, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

Forteo
Third-quarter 2016 revenues of Forteo were $391.2 million, a 12 percent increase compared with the third quarter of 2015. U.S. revenues of Forteo increased 29 percent to $206.7 million, driven by higher

realized prices. Revenues outside the U.S. decreased 2 percent to $184.5 million, driven by lower realized prices, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

Humulin
Humulin revenues for the third quarter of 2016 increased 2 percent compared with the third quarter of 2015 to $322.0 million. U.S. revenues increased 5 percent to $195.6 million, driven by increased demand, partially offset by lower realized prices. Revenues outside the U.S. decreased 4 percent to $126.4 million, driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates and lower realized prices, partially offset by increased volume.

New Pharmaceutical Products
Trulicity
Third-quarter 2016 revenues of Trulicity were $243.6 million. U.S. revenues of Trulicity were $188.7 million, driven by growth in the GLP-1 market and increased share of market for Trulicity. Revenues of Trulicity outside the U.S. were $54.9 million.

Cyramza
For the third quarter of 2016, Cyramza revenues were $159.0 million, an increase of 43 percent compared with the third quarter of 2015. U.S. revenues were $67.0 million, a decrease of 12 percent, due to competitive pressure primarily in the non-small cell lung cancer indication. Revenues outside the U.S. were $92.0 million, primarily due to strong uptake for the gastric cancer indication in Japan.

Jardiance
The company’s revenues for Jardiance during the third quarter of 2016 were $47.5 million. U.S. revenues were $32.9 million, driven by growth in the SGLT2 class and increased share of market for Jardiance. Revenues outside the U.S. were $14.6 million. Jardiance is part of the company’s alliance with Boehringer Ingelheim, and Lilly reports as revenue a portion of Jardiance’s gross margin.



 12






 

Taltz
For the third quarter of 2016, Taltz, a treatment for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, generated revenues of $32.5 million. Taltz launched in the U.S. in April 2016 and began launching in Europe in July 2016.

Basaglar
For the third quarter of 2016, Basaglar, a treatment to control high blood sugar in adults and children with type 1 diabetes and adults with type 2 diabetes, generated revenues of $19.4 million, driven by early uptake in Japan and various European countries. Basaglar is part of the company’s alliance with Boehringer Ingelheim.

Portrazza
For the third quarter of 2016, Portrazza, a first-line treatment for metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer, generated revenues of $5.3 million.

Animal Health
In the third quarter of 2016, animal health revenues totaled $706.2 million, a decline of 9 percent compared with the third quarter of 2015. U.S. animal health revenues decreased 14 percent to $338.6 million, primarily due to wholesaler buying patterns for companion animal products and decreased revenues for food animal products due to market access pressures. Animal health revenues outside the U.S. decreased 5 percent to $367.6 million, negatively impacted by food animal products, primarily due to macroeconomic conditions in Latin America.

2016 Financial Guidance

The company has revised certain elements of its 2016 financial guidance. Full-year 2016 earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $2.66 to $2.76 on a reported basis. On a non-GAAP basis, full-year 2016 earnings per share are still expected to be in the range of $3.50 to $3.60.

The company now expects 2016 revenue of between $20.8 billion and $21.2 billion. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, the company expects revenue growth from a number of established products including Trajenta, Cialis, Forteo, Strattera, Erbitux and animal health products, as well as higher revenues from new products including Cyramza, Jardiance, Trulicity, Portrazza, Basaglar and Taltz. The company expects this revenue growth to be partially offset by lower revenue from Alimta as a result of increased competitive pressures.

(a)
The company uses non-GAAP financial measures that differ from financial statements reported in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The company’s non-GAAP measures adjust reported results to exclude amortization of intangibles and items that are typically highly variable, difficult to predict, and/or of a size that could have a substantial impact on the company’s reported operations for a period. The company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors. Among other things, they may help investors evaluate the company’s 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. 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.
