Certain financial information for 2013 and 2012 are 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 period. Non-GAAP measures exclude the items described in

the reconciliation tables later in the release. The non-GAAP measures are

presented in order to provide additional insights into the underlying trends

in the company's business. The company's 2014 financial guidance is also being

provided on both a reported and a non-GAAP basis.



"Lilly's fourth-quarter 2013 results reflect the initial impact from the U.S.

patent expiration for Cymbalta. The loss of the Cymbalta patent, along with

the expiration of the U.S. patent for Evista in March of this year will result

in a substantial decline in revenue and earnings in 2014," said John C.

Lechleiter, Ph.D., Lilly's chairman, president and chief executive officer.

"Yet, far from seeing 2014 as a trough year for Lilly, we see it as a moment

of tremendous opportunity. We anticipate launching several new medicines this

year and returning our company to growth in 2015 and beyond."



Key Events Over the Last Three Months



- U.S. patent exclusivity for Cymbalta® expired on December 11, 2013,

resulting in the entry of several generic competitors.



- As part of its previously-announced share repurchase program, the company

repurchased approximately $500 million in company stock in the fourth quarter

of 2013. For the full-year 2013, the company returned approximately $3.8

billion in cash to shareholders through its dividend and share repurchase

program.



- The company and its alliance partner, Boehringer Ingelheim, announced that

the U.S. Food and Drug Administration accepted the filing of the New Drug

Application for LY2963016, an investigational basal (long-acting) insulin.

This new insulin glargine product was also submitted in Japan.



- The company acquired all development and commercial rights from Arteaus

Therapeutics for a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antibody as a

potential treatment for the prevention of frequent, recurrent migraine

headaches, following a successful Phase II proof-of-concept study.



- The company entered into a collaboration with Pfizer Inc. to co-develop and

jointly commercialize tanezumab, a monoclonal antibody being investigated to

treat moderate-to-severe chronic osteoarthritis pain, chronic low back pain,

and cancer-related bone pain.



- The company announced that results from three Phase III studies of

edivoxetine did not achieve the primary study objective of superior efficacy

in depression after eight weeks of treatment. While the safety and

tolerability of edivoxetine were consistent with previous studies, the

efficacy results do not support a regulatory submission for adjunctive

treatment in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).



Fourth-Quarter Reported Results



In the fourth quarter of 2013, worldwide total revenue was $5.809 billion, a

decrease of 2 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2012. Revenue

decline was comprised of 5 percent due to lower volume and 2 percent due to

the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by an

increase of 4 percent due to higher prices. The decrease in volume was driven

by the loss of U.S. patent exclusivity for Cymbalta in December 2013,

partially offset by volume gains for most other products. Total revenue in the

U.S. decreased 6 percent to $3.044 billion driven by lower volume for

Cymbalta, partially offset by higher prices. Total revenue outside the U.S.

increased 1 percent to $2.765 billion, as higher volume was partially offset

by the unfavorable impact of the continued weakening of the Japanese yen, and

to a lesser extent, lower prices.



Gross margin decreased 6 percent to $4.422 billion in the fourth quarter of

2013, driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates on

international inventories sold and lower sales of Cymbalta due to the loss of

U.S. patent exclusivity, partially offset by higher prices. Gross margin as a

percent of total revenue was 76.1 percent, a decrease of 2.9 percentage points

compared with the fourth quarter of 2012.



Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2013, defined as the sum of

research and development, marketing, selling and administrative expenses was

$3.429 billion, which was essentially flat compared with the fourth quarter of

2012. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses decreased 1 percent to

$1.954 billion, due to ongoing cost containment efforts, including the

previously-announced reduction in U.S. sales and marketing activities in

anticipation of the losses of patent exclusivity for Cymbalta and Evista®, and

the impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by increased marketing

spend for other products. Research and development expenses increased 1

percent to $1.475 billion, or 25.4 percent of total revenue, driven by higher

research and clinical development expenses, partially offset by lower

milestone payments.



In the fourth quarter of 2013, the company recognized a charge of $57.1

million related to acquired in-process research and development associated

with the acquisition of a CGRP antibody from Arteaus Therapeutics.



In the fourth quarter of 2013, the company recognized asset impairment,

restructuring and other special charges of $35.4 million, primarily related to

charges associated with restructuring to reduce the company's cost structure

and global workforce. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the company recognized a

$204.0 million charge for asset impairment, restructuring and other special

charges, comprised primarily of $122.6 million related to an intangible asset

impairment for liprotamase and $64.7 million related to restructuring to

reduce the company's cost structure and global workforce.



Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $900.8 million, a decrease

of 15 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2012, due to lower gross

margin, partially offset by lower asset impairment, restructuring and other

special charges compared with the fourth quarter of 2012.



Other income (expense) was income of $9.1 million in the fourth quarter of

2013, compared with expense of $52.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

This difference was due primarily to $40.0 million of milestones received from

Boehringer Ingelheim for the regulatory submissions of the companies' new

insulin glargine product in the United States and Japan.



The effective tax rate was 20.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013,

reflecting the reinstatement of the R&D tax credit in the U.S. effective

January 1, 2013. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the effective tax rate was

18.3 percent, reflecting a tax benefit related to the intangible asset

impairment for liprotamase.



In the fourth quarter of 2013, net income decreased 12 percent and earnings

per share decreased 9 percent to $727.5 million and $0.67, respectively,

compared with fourth-quarter 2012 net income of $827.2 million and earnings

per share of $0.74. The decreases in net income and earnings per share were

driven by lower operating income and a higher effective tax rate in the fourth

quarter of 2013, partially offset by increased other income. Earnings per

share benefited from a lower number of shares outstanding in the fourth

quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.



Fourth-Quarter 2013 non-GAAP Measures



On a non-GAAP basis, fourth-quarter 2013 operating income decreased $275.1

million, or 22 percent, to $993.3 million, driven by lower gross margin. The

effective tax rate decreased to 20.5 percent, compared with 22.3 percent in

the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily driven by the reinstatement of the R&D

tax credit. Net income decreased 16 percent and earnings per share decreased

13 percent to $796.9 million and $0.74, respectively, compared with $945.2

million and $0.85 during the fourth quarter of 2012.



The decreases in net income and earnings per share were driven by lower

operating income, partially offset by higher other income and a lower

effective tax rate. Earnings per share benefited from a lower number of shares

outstanding in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of

2012.



Non-GAAP measures exclude items totaling $0.07 and $0.11 per share of expense

in the fourth quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. For further detail, see

the reconciliation below as well as the Reconciliation of GAAP Reported to

Selected Non-GAAP Adjusted Information table later in this press release.

Full-Year 2013 Reported Results



For the full-year 2013, worldwide total revenue increased 2 percent to $23.113

billion. This increase was comprised of a 5 percent increase due to higher

prices, partially offset by a 2 percent decrease due to the unfavorable impact

of foreign exchange rates, and a 1 percent decrease due to lower volume. Total

revenue in the U.S. increased 5 percent to $12.890 billion due to higher

prices, partially offset by volume declines for Cymbalta and Zyprexa® due to

the loss of patent exclusivity. Total revenue outside the U.S. decreased 1

percent to $10.223 billion, due primarily to the unfavorable impact of the

continued weakening of the Japanese yen, and, to a lesser extent, lower

prices, partially offset by increased volume.



Gross margin increased 2 percent to $18.205 billion in 2013. Gross margin as a

percent of total revenue remained flat with the prior year at 78.8 percent,

driven by higher prices, offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates on

international inventories sold which significantly decreased cost of sales in

2012.



Total operating expenses decreased 1 percent in 2013. Marketing, selling and

administrative expenses decreased 5 percent to $7.126 billion, driven

primarily by lower selling and marketing expenses resulting from the company's

cost containment efforts, including the previously-announced reduction in U.S.

sales and marketing activities in anticipation of the losses of patent

exclusivity for Cymbalta and Evista, as well as the impact of foreign exchange

rates. Research and development expenses increased 5 percent to $5.531

billion, or 23.9 percent of total revenue, due to higher research and clinical

development expenses, including approximately $100 million of milestone

payments made to Boehringer Ingelheim following the regulatory submissions for

empagliflozin.



In 2013, the company recognized an acquired in-process research and

development charge of $57.1 million related to the CGRP antibody.



Additionally, in 2013 the company recognized asset impairment, restructuring,

and other special charges of $120.6 million. These charges were comprised of

$58.5 million associated with the anticipated closure of a production facility

outside the United States, and $62.1 million for restructuring to reduce the

company's cost structure and global workforce. In 2012, the company recognized

charges of $281.1 million for asset impairment, restructuring and other

special charges. These charges were comprised of $122.6 million related to an

intangible asset impairment for liprotamase, $74.5 million related to

restructuring to reduce the company's cost structure and global workforce,

$64.0 million related to the asset impairment of a delivery device platform,

and $20.0 million related to the withdrawal of Xigris.



Operating income in 2013 increased 13 percent compared to 2012 to $5.370

billion, due to higher gross margin and lower marketing, selling and

administrative expenses, partially offset by higher research and development

expenses.



Other income (expense) in 2013 was income of $518.9 million, compared to

income of $674.0 million in 2012. The difference was driven primarily by lower

income related to the termination of the exenatide collaboration with Amylin

Pharmaceuticals ($495.4 million in 2013 compared to $787.8 million in 2012),

partially offset by milestones received from Boehringer Ingelheim for

regulatory submissions in the United States, Europe and Japan.



The effective tax rate was 20.5 percent in 2013, compared with 24.4 percent in

2012. The 2012 effective tax rate reflects the expiration of the R&D tax

credit and the tax impact of the payment received from Amylin, partially

offset by the tax benefit related to the intangible asset impairment for

liprotamase. The decrease in the 2013 effective tax rate reflects the

reinstatement of the R&D tax credit in the U.S. effective January 1, 2013 as

well as the one-time impact of the R&D tax credit for 2012 that was recorded

in the first quarter of 2013.



For the full-year 2013, net income increased 15 percent and earnings per share

increased 18 percent to $4.685 billion and $4.32, respectively, compared to

full-year 2012 net income of $4.089 billion and earnings per share of $3.66.

The increases in net income and earnings per share were due to higher

operating income and, to a lesser extent, a lower effective tax rate,

partially offset by lower other income. Earnings per share benefited from a

lower number of shares outstanding in 2013 compared to 2012.



Full-Year 2013 non-GAAP Measures



Operating income increased 11 percent to $5.548 billion due to higher gross

margin and lower marketing, selling and administrative expenses, partially

offset by higher research and development expenses. The effective tax rate for

2013 was 19.2 percent, compared to 22.8 percent in 2012. The decrease in the

2013 effective tax rate reflects the reinstatement of the R&D tax credit in

the U.S. in 2013 as well as the one-time impact of the R&D tax credit for 2012

that was recorded in the first quarter of 2013. Net income increased 19

percent and earnings per share increased 22 percent, to $4.503 billion and

$4.15, respectively. Earnings per share benefited from a lower number of

shares outstanding in 2013 compared to 2012.



Non-GAAP measures exclude items totaling $0.17 and $0.27 per share of income

for 2013 and 2012, respectively. For further detail, see the reconciliation

below as well as the Reconciliation of GAAP Reported to Selected Non-GAAP

Adjusted Information table later in this press release.

driven by higher volume in Japan, partially offset by lower prices and the

unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. The company will lose U.S.

patent exclusivity for Evista in March 2014.



For the full year of 2013, worldwide Evista sales increased 4 percent to

$1.050 billion. U.S. Evista sales for 2013 were $772.0 million, a 10 percent

increase driven by higher prices, partially offset by decreased demand. Evista

sales outside the U.S. were $278.4 million, a 10 percent decrease driven by

the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates and lower prices, partially

offset by increased volume in Japan.



Strattera



During the fourth quarter of 2013, Strattera generated $201.1 million of

sales, an increase of 23 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2012.

U.S. sales increased 33 percent to $127.0 million, driven primarily by higher

prices and, to a lesser extent, wholesaler buying patterns. Sales outside the

U.S. increased 9 percent to $74.1 million, driven primarily by increased

volume in Japan, partially offset by lower prices and the unfavorable impact

of foreign exchange rates.



For the full year of 2013, worldwide Strattera sales increased 14 percent to

$709.2 million. U.S. Strattera sales for 2013 were $446.3 million, a 16

percent increase driven primarily by higher prices. Strattera sales outside

the U.S. were $262.9 million, an 11 percent increase driven primarily by

higher volume in Japan, partially offset by lower prices and the unfavorable

impact of foreign exchange rates.



Effient



Effient sales were $130.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase

of 8 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2012. U.S. Effient sales

increased 10 percent to $96.8 million, driven by higher prices and wholesaler

buying patterns, partially offset by decreased demand. Sales outside the U.S.

increased 3 percent to $33.8 million.



For the full year of 2013, worldwide Effient sales increased 11 percent to

$508.7 million. U.S. Effient sales for 2013 were $376.9 million, an 11 percent

increase driven primarily by higher prices. Effient sales outside the U.S.

were $131.8 million, a 12 percent increase driven primarily by higher volume.



Animal Health



In the fourth quarter of 2013, worldwide animal health sales totaled $578.4

million, an increase of 4 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2012

driven by higher prices and volume growth for food animal products, partially

offset by volume decline for companion animal products. U.S. animal health

sales decreased 2 percent, to $305.5 million, driven by lower volume,

partially offset by increased prices. Animal health sales outside the U.S.

were $272.9 million, a 13 percent increase, driven by increased volume and, to

a lesser extent, higher prices, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of

foreign exchange rates.



For the full year of 2013, worldwide animal health sales increased 6 percent

to $2.151 billion, driven primarily by the growth of companion animal

products. Animal health sales in the U.S. increased 6 percent to $1.227

billion, driven primarily by higher volume for Trifexis® and, to a lesser

extent, higher prices. Animal health sales outside the U.S. increased 6

percent to $924.9 million, driven by higher volume and, to a lesser extent,

higher prices, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange

rates.



2014 Financial Guidance



The company has confirmed its 2014 financial guidance. The company still

expects full-year 2014 earnings per share to be in the range of $2.77 to $2.85

on both a reported and non-GAAP basis.

The company anticipates 2014 revenue of between $19.2 billion and $19.8

billion. Patent expirations are expected to drive a rapid and severe decline

in U.S. Cymbalta and U.S. Evista sales. These revenue declines are expected to

be partially offset by growth from a portfolio of other products including

Humalog, Trajenta®, Cialis, Forteo and Alimta, as well as the animal health

business. In addition, strong revenue growth is expected in China, while a

weaker Japanese yen will dampen revenue growth in Japan.



The company anticipates that gross margin as a percent of revenue will be

approximately 74 percent in 2014.



Total operating expenses in 2014 are expected to decrease substantially

compared to 2013. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses are expected

in the range of $6.2 billion to $6.5 billion. Research and development

expenses are expected to be in the range of $4.4 billion to $4.7 billion.



Other income (expense) is expected to be in a range between $100 million and

$200 million of income in 2014, benefited by gains of $150 million to $200

million on the sale of equity investments acquired as part of past business

development transactions.



The 2014 tax rate is expected to be approximately 20 percent, assuming a

full-year 2014 benefit of the R&D tax credit and other tax provisions up for

extension. If these items are not extended, the 2014 tax rate would be

approximately 2 percentage points higher.



The company expects to meet its 2014 net income and operating cash flow goals

of $3.0 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively. Operating cash flows are

expected to be sufficient to pay the company's dividend of approximately $2.1

billion, allow for capital expenditures of approximately $1.3 billion, and

fund potential business development activity and share repurchases.



The company's 2014 financial guidance does not include a potential charge

related to the collaboration with Pfizer to develop and commercialize

tanezumab. As previously communicated, if the partial clinical hold for the

molecule is removed and Lilly and Pfizer move forward with development, Lilly

will pay a $200 million upfront fee to Pfizer. This charge would cause Lilly's

GAAP tax rate to be roughly 1 percentage point lower than its non-GAAP tax

rate and would reduce GAAP EPS by approximately $0.12.

(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 items that are excluded when non-GAAP measures or

expectations provided are typically highly variable, difficult to predict, and

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.



(b) Operating expenses include research and development, marketing, selling

and administrative expenses.



(c) Certain GAAP reported measures have been adjusted to eliminate acquired

in-process research and development charges. During the three months ended

December 31, 2013, amounts totaling $57.1 million (pretax), or $0.03 per share

(after-tax), of expense were eliminated related to the acquired in-process

research and development for the CGRP antibody. There were no similar charges

during the fourth quarter of 2012.



(d) Certain GAAP reported measures have been adjusted to eliminate asset

impairment, restructuring and other special charges. During the three months

ended December 31, 2013, amounts totaling $35.4 million (pretax), or $0.03 per

share (after-tax), of expense were eliminated primarily related to costs

associated with restructuring to reduce the company's cost structure and

global workforce. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, amounts

totaling $204.0 million (pretax), or $0.11 per share (after-tax), of expense

were eliminated primarily related to an intangible asset impairment for

liprotamase and restructuring to reduce the company's cost structure and

global workforce.
