GREENFIELD, Ind., May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE:ELAN) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2025, provided guidance for the second quarter of 2025, and updated guidance for the full year 2025.

"Elanco 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."

Numbers may not add due to rounding.

In the first quarter of 2025, revenue was $1,193 million, a decrease of 1% on a reported basis, or an increase of 4% when excluding the unfavorable impacts from the aqua divestiture and foreign exchange rates compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Pet Health revenue was $635 million, a decrease of 1% on a reported basis, or an increase of 1% when excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rates, including a 2% increase from price, compared to the first quarter of 2024. The year over year volume decline in the first quarter was primarily driven by the year-ago benefit related to moving certain legacy Bayer products into distribution, a challenging U.S. retail environment in the first quarter of 2025, and decreased vaccine sales in the U.S., largely offset by increased sales of new products and continued strong demand for parasiticide products in Europe. The Advantage^® Family of products and Seresto^® contributed revenue of $123 million and $153 million, respectively.

Farm Animal revenue was $546 million, a decrease of 2% on a reported basis, or an increase of 7% when excluding the unfavorable impacts from the aqua divestiture and foreign exchange rates, driven by a 3% increase from price, compared to the first quarter of 2024. First quarter volumes were up 4%, primarily driven by strength in U.S. cattle, led by Experior.

Gross profit was $684 million, or 57.3% of revenue in the first quarter of 2025, flat as a percent of revenue compared to the first quarter of 2024. On an adjusted basis, gross profit was $685 million, or 57.4% of revenue in the first quarter of 2025 with a 10-basis point change in gross profit as a percent of revenue compared to the first quarter of 2024. The slight increase was primarily driven by price, favorable manufacturing performance and product mix, partially offset by manufacturing costs and foreign exchange headwinds.

Total operating expenses were $435 million for the first quarter of 2025. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased 1% to $341 million, primarily driven by increased expenses supporting the U.S. Pet Health business and higher employee related expenses. Research and development expenses increased 8% to $94 million driven by higher project expenses.

Asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges were $9 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $46 million in the first quarter of 2024. Charges recorded in the first quarter of 2025 primarily consisted of upfront payments made in relation to new licensing arrangements. Charges recorded in the first quarter of 2024 primarily related to the restructuring plan announced in February 2024 and costs related to the ultimate divestiture of our aqua business.

Reported and adjusted net interest expense was $40 million in the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $26 million compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was driven by lower debt, primarily enabled by the aqua divestiture in 2024.

The reported effective tax rate was (12.2)% in the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by the jurisdictional mix of projected income and losses in non-U.S. jurisdictions, as well as the utilization of net operating losses and a valuation allowance release in the U.S. The reported effective tax rate was (182.2)% in the first quarter of 2024, driven by the recognition of certain state tax credits. The adjusted effective tax rate was 9.2% in the first quarter of 2025, driven by the impact of a discrete item recognized in the current quarter, compared to 15.0% in the first quarter of 2024.

Net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $67 million and $0.13 per diluted share on a reported basis, compared with a net income of $32 million and $0.06 per diluted share for the same period in 2024. On an adjusted basis, net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $184 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, a 9% increase compared with the same period in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $276 million in the first quarter of 2025, a 6% decrease compared to the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue was 23.1% compared with 24.4% for the first quarter of 2024.

Working Capital and Balance Sheet

Cash used in operations was $4 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to cash provided by operations of $2 million in the first quarter of 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, Elanco's net leverage ratio was 4.4x adjusted EBITDA, an increase of 0.1x compared to December 31, 2024. The company now expects to end the year with a net leverage ratio of 3.9x to 4.3x, enabled by disciplined working capital management, more favorable foreign exchange rates on cash balances and the lotilaner U.S. royalty monetization.

Financial Guidance

Elanco is updating financial guidance for the full year 2025, summarized in the following table.

2025 Full Year (dollars in millions, except per share amounts)	February Guidance			May Guidance

Revenue	$4,445	to	$4,510	$4,510	to	$4,580
Reported Net (Loss) Income	$(25)	to	$7	$(35)	to	$(7)
Adjusted EBITDA	$830	to	$870	$830	to	$870
Reported (Loss) Earnings per Share	$(0.05)	to	$0.01	$(0.07)	to	$(0.01)
Adjusted Earnings per Share	$0.80	to	$0.86	$0.80	to	$0.86

The company anticipates a tailwind to revenue of approximately $65 to $70 million from the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates since the February earnings call. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates and the aqua divestiture, the company continues to expect revenue growth to accelerate to mid-single digits.

The company expects adjusted gross margin of 54.2% to 54.7%, and expects operating expenses to increase approximately 6% year over year in constant currency with strategic investment in the global launches of the innovation portfolio. Full year adjusted EBITDA includes a current estimate for tariff net impact of $16 to $20 million and expected continued macro volatility, offset by a strong first quarter performance.

"We are raising our 2025 full-year revenue guidance and maintaining our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS ranges, reflecting our strong first quarter execution, recent momentum and more favorable foreign exchange rates, balanced by expected tariff impact and a cautious approach in an uncertain macroeconomic environment," said Todd Young, Executive Vice President and CFO of Elanco Animal Health. "On tariffs, we have taken several intervention actions, positioning us well to cover potential impacts with or without the pharmaceutical exemption. We are also accelerating our debt paydown to approximately half a billion dollars this year, now expecting to end 2025 with a net leverage ratio of 3.9x to 4.3x."

Additionally, the company is providing guidance for the second quarter of 2025, as summarized in the following table:

2025 Second Quarter (dollars in millions, except per share amounts)	Guidance

Revenue	$1,175	to	$1,195
Reported Net Loss	$(22)	to	$(3)
Adjusted EBITDA	$200	to	$220
Reported Loss per Share	$(0.04)	to	$(0.01)
Adjusted Earnings per Share	$0.17	to	$0.21

In the second quarter, the company expects a headwind to revenue of approximately $5 million from the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates compared to prior year. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates and the aqua divestiture, the company expects 4% to 6% organic constant currency revenue growth. The company expects operating expenses up approximately 11% year over year in constant currency with strategic investment in the global launches of the innovation portfolio.

The 2025 full year and second quarter financial guidance reflects foreign exchange rates as of April. 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 growth excluding the impact of divestitures and foreign exchange rate effects, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, 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 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 sales of assets and related costs, facility exit costs, gains and losses on mark-to-market adjustments on equity securities, 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 EPS as adjusted net income divided by the number of weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

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 sales of assets and related costs, facility exit costs, gains and losses on mark-to-market adjustments on equity securities and other specified significant items, such as unusual or non-recurring items that are unrelated to our long-term operations.

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 following is a reconciliation of GAAP Reported for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, to selected Non-GAAP adjusted information:

The table above reflects only line items with non-GAAP adjustments. Numbers may not add due to rounding.


(a)	The company uses 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 reported GAAP measures for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, included the following:


	(1)	Adjustments of $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, included $7 million of upfront payments made in relation to new licensing arrangements. Adjustments of $46 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, consisted of $39 million of restructuring costs and $7 million of divestiture-related charges preceding the July 2024 divestiture of our aqua business.

	(2)	Adjustments of $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, related to mark-to-market adjustments on equity investments and the impact of hyperinflationary accounting in Turkey. Adjustments of $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily related to the impact of hyperinflationary accounting in Turkey and an increase in our accrual related to a possible resolution or settlement relating to our previously disclosed matter with the SEC.

	(3)	Adjustments of $26 million and $49 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively, primarily represented the income tax expense associated with the adjusted items discussed above. The adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2025, also reflect a $35 million benefit related to a discrete tax item recognized during the quarter. The adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2024, also included $14 million related to the partial release of a valuation allowance attributable to the anticipated sale of our aqua business.

(1)	Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated as the sum of as reported diluted EPS and total adjustments to diluted EPS.

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, 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 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA Margin, which is adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue, for the respective periods:
