Elanco reports Q1 adjusted EPS 37c, consensus 30c

Reports Q1 revenue $1.19B, consensus $1.17B. “Elanco (ELAN) exceeded first quarter guidance for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS,” said Jeff Simmons, president and CEO of Elanco. “Our diverse portfolio delivered 4% organic constant currency revenue growth, with accelerating Pet Health trends in March and April, and consistently strong execution in Farm Animal. We have raised our 2025 revenue guidance given the FX tailwind, and we have increased our innovation revenue target, led by the commercialization of our potential blockbuster products which also enhance our stable base business. We continue to drive greater productivity and deleveraging, and have improved our net leverage target for year-end to reflect disciplined working capital management, favorable currency rates, and our non-core asset monetization of certain lotilaner U.S. royalties. While we are taking a prudent approach to the balance of the year given the dynamic macroeconomic backdrop, our durable portfolio and solid momentum bolster our confidence in sequential acceleration of revenue growth to deliver our 2025 goals while creating long-term value for shareholders and society.”
