GREENFIELD, Ind., Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE: ELAN) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2024, provided guidance for the third quarter of 2024, and updated guidance for the full year 2024.
“Elanco made significant progress on the three strategic outcomes of our IPP strategy in the second quarter – grow revenue, deliver innovation and improve cash. The second quarter represents our fourth consecutive quarter of underlying constant currency revenue growth, with 4% year-to-date growth driven by both pet health and farm animal. Our portfolio continues to strengthen with contributions from new products as a key factor in our base stabilization and overall growth, led by Experior, Adtab and Credelio Plus. Our first half results have allowed us to raise our full year revenue guidance and maintain our adjusted EBITDA guidance, excluding aqua, and maintain adjusted EPS guidance with lower interest and tax expense fully offsetting aqua,” said Jeff Simmons, Elanco President and CEO. “We are pleased with the meaningful progress to reduce our leverage following the completion of the aqua transaction. We are encouraged by our late-stage pipeline progress, including the completion of the FDA review of Bovaer and the final FDA submission for Zenrelia, keeping us on track towards the expected $600 to $700 million of revenue contribution in 2025. Looking forward, we remain confident in the blockbuster potential of Bovaer, Zenrelia and Credelio Quattro, and expect their contribution will improve profitability and operating cash flow to drive continued deleveraging and increased value creation over time.”
Select Business Highlights Since the Last Earnings Call
- Innovation revenue was $209 million in the first half of 2024 and the company now expects $400 to $450 million from this group of products for the full year 2024, as updated in late June.
- For Bovaer, a first-in-class methane reducing feed ingredient for dairy cattle, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) completed its comprehensive, multi-year review in May 2024. Commercial activities are underway, and we expect producers to begin feeding the product in the third quarter.
- For Zenrelia, a JAK inhibitor targeting control of pruritus and atopic dermatitis in dogs, the company confirmed in its late June update that it received confirmation from the FDA that all major technical sections (Effectiveness, Safety and Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC)) were complete and shared expectations of a box warning in the label. As of late July, all minor sections including Labeling, are complete with the FDA and the final 60-day administrative window is underway. The company expects to receive final FDA approval late in September, with launch in early October. Additionally, the company received approval in Brazil in the second quarter, with expected launch in the fourth quarter of 2024.
- For Credelio Quattro, a broad spectrum oral parasiticide targeting control of fleas, ticks and internal parasites, the company confirmed in its late June update that two of the three major technical sections, Effectiveness and Safety, were complete. Final FDA approval is expected in the fourth quarter of 2024, with product launch in the first quarter of 2025.
- The company completed the sale of its aqua business on July 9, 2024. Proceeds from the sale and year to date operating cash flow have allowed the company to pay down approximately $1.3B in gross debt through August 8, 2024.
- The company released its 2023 Environmental, Social and Governance Report, demonstrating progress in the sustainability of its internal operations and customer collaborations.
Financial Results
In April 2023, the company completed the successful integration of the legacy Bayer Animal Health business into Elanco’s ERP system and shared service center network. As a result of the integration, the company communicated commercial shipping blackout periods impacting April 2023 (the “ERP Blackout”). As reported last year, the company believes the first quarter of 2023 benefited from approximately $90 to $110 million of customer purchases of legacy Bayer Animal Health products that were shifted from the second quarter of 2023. This estimated shift meaningfully impacted the reported growth rates for the second quarter of 2024.

In the second quarter of 2024, revenue was $1,184 million, an increase of 12% on a reported basis, or 13% when excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates compared to the second quarter of 2023. The ERP Blackout positively impacted growth by an estimated 9% to 10%.
Pet Health revenue was $579 million, an increase of 12% on a reported basis, or 13% when excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, with a 3% increase from price, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Excluding the estimated 13 to 14 percentage point tailwind from the ERP Blackout, year over year decline in the second quarter was primarily driven by continued competitive pressure on certain products in the U.S. veterinary channel and purchasing patterns of U.S. retailers impacting over-the-counter products, partially offset by sales of new products and improved demand for retail parasiticide products in certain European markets, including Spain.
The Advantage® Family of products, inclusive of AdTab, contributed $131 million, an increase of 29% excluding the impact from foreign exchange rates, with an estimated 27 percentage point tailwind from the ERP Blackout. Seresto® revenue was $103 million, an increase of 51% excluding the impact from foreign exchange rates, with an estimated 53 percentage point tailwind from the ERP Blackout.
Farm Animal revenue was $594 million, an increase of 13% on a reported basis, or 14% when excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, with a 4% increase from price, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Excluding the estimated 5 percentage point tailwind from the ERP Blackout, the year over year growth in the second quarter was primarily driven by strength in U.S. cattle, led by Experior and resupply of vaccines, and poultry sales globally, partially offset by declines in certain aqua products.
Gross profit was $689 million, or 58.2% of revenue in the second quarter of 2024 with a 70-basis point decline in gross profit as a percent of revenue compared to the second quarter of 2023. The decline was primarily driven by planned reduced throughput at certain manufacturing sites to reduce balance sheet inventory and improve operating cash flow, sales mix, and inflation, partially offset by the impact of the ERP Blackout and increased pricing. The company estimates the change in gross profit as a percent of revenue was positively impacted by 150 to 220 basis points from the ERP Blackout compared to the second quarter of 2023.
Total operating expenses were $443 million for the second quarter of 2024. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses were flat at $354 million, as savings associated with the completion of the ERP system implementation in the second quarter of 2023 were offset by higher employee related expenses and marketing and promotional expenses supporting our European pet health business. Research and development expenses increased 10% to $89 million, primarily driven by higher employee-related expenses and timing of project expenses.
Asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges were $80 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $35 million in the second quarter of 2023. Charges recorded in the second quarter of 2024 primarily related to an impairment charge related to a pet health IPR&D asset (IL-4R) for which management terminated future R&D activities due to concerns about the asset’s future commercial viability and transaction costs associated with the sale of our aqua business. Charges recorded in the second quarter of 2023 primarily related to costs associated with integration efforts and external costs related to the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health.
Net interest expense was $65 million in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $9 million compared to the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was driven by lower debt.
The reported effective tax rate was (61.3)% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to (23.0)% in the second quarter of 2023. The adjusted effective tax rate decreased to 16.9% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 19.9% in the second quarter of 2023, primarily driven by the benefit of certain state income tax credits and the jurisdictional location of Elanco profits.
The following table summarizes the estimated impact on year over year growth rates from the ERP Blackout on adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS:

Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $50 million and $0.10 per diluted share on a reported basis, compared with net loss of $97 million and $0.20 per diluted share for the same period in 2023. On an adjusted basis, net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $147 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, a 67% increase compared with the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $275 million in the second quarter of 2024, a 24% increase compared to the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue was 23.2% compared with 21.0% for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 220 basis points.
Working Capital and Balance Sheet
Cash provided by operations was $200 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $61 million in the second quarter of 2023. The $139 million increase in cash from operations year over year reflects improved working capital, primarily related to inventory and lower project spend.
As of June 30, 2024, Elanco’s net leverage ratio was 5.6x adjusted EBITDA, flat compared to December 31, 2023. The company expects to end the year with a net leverage ratio in the mid-4x range.

The company is updating 2024 financial guidance to reflect the second quarter overperformance and updated expectations for the second half of the year, including the expected contribution from Bovaer and Zenrelia and the removal of the aqua business. Removing the expectations for the aqua business drove a guidance reduction of $107 million of revenue, $60 million of adjusted EBITDA, and $0.08 of adjusted EPS.
The company now anticipates revenue between $4.41 billion and $4.46 billion, with a headwind of approximately $30 million from the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates compared to the prior year. Excluding further contributions from the aqua business, the updated guidance reflects expected organic constant currency revenue growth of 3% to 4%, up from 2% to 3% in May, with improved expectations from new products compared to the May guidance.
The company now anticipates adjusted EBITDA of $900 million to $940 million, maintaining guidance from May excluding the aqua business. The organic business includes second half contribution from Bovaer and Zenrelia, offset by expected higher manufacturing losses and increased investment in product launches in the second half of the year compared to the May guidance.
The company now anticipates adjusted EPS of $0.88 to $0.96, reflecting the divestiture of the aqua business, and lower interest expense (approximately $0.06) as a result of debt paydown from the aqua sale proceeds and a lower tax rate.
“Our efforts to improve operating cash flow and focus on deleveraging are being realized. In early July, we successfully closed the sale of our aqua business as expected. With cash flow from operations and transaction proceeds subsequent to the end of the second quarter we have paid down approximately $1.3 billion of debt this year, with gross debt down to $4.5 billion,” said Todd Young, Executive Vice President and CFO of Elanco Animal Health. “I am proud of the cross-functional approach we have taken to diagnose, evaluate and deliver solutions to improve processes, reduce balance sheet inventory, and positively impact cash flow. Additionally, with the completion of our stand-up and integration phase, we are positioned to make additional progress to reduce leverage.”
The company is providing guidance for the third quarter of 2024, as summarized in the following table:

The company expects organic constant currency revenue growth of 1% to 3%.
The financial guidance reflects foreign currency exchange rates as of the beginning of August. Further details on guidance, including GAAP reported to non-GAAP adjusted reconciliations, are included in the financial tables of this press release and will be discussed on the company’s conference call this morning.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
We use non-GAAP financial measures, such as revenue excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate effects, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EPS, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, net debt and net debt leverage to assess and analyze our operational results and trends as explained in more detail in the reconciliation tables later in this release.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide greater transparency regarding our operating performance. Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and reported U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this press release and are posted on our website at www.elanco.com. The primary material limitations associated with the use of such non-GAAP measures as compared to GAAP results include the following: (i) they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, including those in our industry, (ii) they exclude financial information and events, such as the effects of an acquisition or divestiture or amortization of intangible assets, that some may consider important in evaluating our performance, value or prospects for the future, (iii) they exclude items or types of items that may continue to occur from period to period in the future and (iv) they may not exclude all unusual or non-recurring items, which could increase or decrease these measures, which investors may consider to be unrelated to our long-term operations. These non-GAAP measures are not, and should not, be viewed as substitutes for GAAP reported measures. We encourage investors to review our unaudited consolidated financial statements in their entirety and caution investors to use GAAP measures as the primary means of evaluating our performance, value and prospects for the future, and non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures.
Availability of Certain Information
We use our website to disclose important company information to investors, customers, employees and others interested in Elanco. We encourage investors to consult our website regularly for important information about Elanco, including an Investor Overview presentation containing a general overview of the business, which can be found in the Events and Presentations page of our website.

We define organic revenue growth as revenue growth excluding prior year revenue from the aqua business, which we divested July 9, 2024.
We define project spend as cash costs associated with the independent company stand-up, Bayer business integration and Bayer ERP system integration.

Elanco Animal Health Incorporated
Reconciliation of GAAP Reported to Selected Non-GAAP Adjusted Information
(Unaudited)
(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share data)
We define adjusted gross profit as total revenue less adjusted cost of sales and adjusted gross margin as adjusted gross profit divided by total revenue.
We define adjusted net income as net income excluding amortization of intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments to inventory, acquisition and divestiture-related charges, including integration and separation costs, severance, goodwill and other asset impairments, gains on sale of assets and related costs, facility exit costs, tax valuation allowances and other specified significant items, such as unusual or non-recurring items that are unrelated to our long-term operations adjusted for income tax expense associated with the excluded financial items.
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for interest expense (income), which includes debt extinguishment losses, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude purchase accounting adjustments to inventory, acquisition and divestiture-related charges, including integration and separation costs, severance, goodwill and other asset impairments, gains on sale of assets and related costs, facility exit costs and other specified significant items, such as unusual or non-recurring items that are unrelated to our long-term operations.
We define adjusted EPS as adjusted net income divided by the number of weighted-average shares outstanding for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
We define gross debt as the sum of the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. We define net debt as gross debt less cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet. We define the net leverage ratio as net debt divided by trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA. This calculation does not include Term Loan B covenant-related adjustments that reduce this leverage ratio.

The table above reflects only line items with non-GAAP adjustments. |
|
(a) |
The company uses adjusted (i.e., “non-GAAP”) financial measures that differ from financial statements reported in conformity with GAAP. The company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors. Among other things, they may help investors evaluate the company’s ongoing operations. They can also 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. 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) |
Adjustments to certain GAAP reported measures for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, include the following: |
|
|
(1) |
Adjustments of $80 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, principally included a $53 million impairment charge related to a pet health IPR&D asset (IL-4R) for which management terminated future R&D activities due to concerns about the asset’s future commercial viability and $10 million of transaction costs associated with the sale of our aqua business. Adjustments of $35 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, related to charges associated with integration efforts and external costs related to the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health. |
|
|
(2) |
Adjustments of $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, related to a gain on the divestiture of a non-material product line, partially offset by the impact of hyperinflationary accounting in Turkey. Adjustments of $21 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily related to an accrual of $15 million for a potential settlement of the Seresto class action lawsuits, as well as the impact of hyperinflationary accounting related to Turkey. |
|
|
(3) |
Adjustments of $12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, represented the income tax expense associated with the adjusted items discussed above. Adjustments of $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, represented the income tax expense associated with the adjusted items discussed above, partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets during the period ($8 million). |

For the periods presented, we have not made adjustments for all items that may be considered unrelated to our long-term operations. We believe adjusted EBITDA, when used in conjunction with our results presented in accordance with GAAP and its reconciliation to net income (loss), enhances investors’ understanding of our performance, valuation and prospects for the future. We also believe adjusted EBITDA is a measure used in the animal health industry by analysts as a valuable performance metric for investors. The following is a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA Margin, which is adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue, for the respective periods:
