"Lilly's focus on our key priorities led to strong performance in the third quarter, highlighted by revenue growth from our new pharmaceutical products. In addition, worldwide revenue from our diabetes products collectively grew 39 percent, and we continued to make improvements in our operating margins," said David A. Ricks, Lilly's chairman and CEO. "Our pipeline also continues to deliver. Including Verzenio, we've now launched nine medicines since 2014, and we are on a path to launch eleven more by 2023."
Ricks continued, "Today, we are also announcing a strategic review of our Elanco Animal Health business. Elanco has developed into a premier animal health company, and has been an important growth driver and source of revenue diversification for Lilly. Through acquisitions and organic growth, we've grown Elanco to a size and scale that now allows us to consider a variety of options to maximize future value."
Key Events Over the Last Three Months
Commercial
-- The company launched Olumiant(®) (baricitinib) in Japan for the
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (including the prevention of
structural injury of joints) in patients with inadequate response to
standard-of-care therapies. Olumiant is part of a collaboration with
Incyte.
Regulatory
-- With respect to Verzenio(TM) (abemaciclib), a cyclin-dependent kinase
(CDK) 4 & 6 inhibitor, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA):
-- Approved and the company launched Verzenio in combination with
fulvestrant for the treatment of women with hormone receptor
(HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2
(HER2)-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer with disease
progression following endocrine therapy, and as monotherapy for the
treatment of adult patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced
or metastatic breast cancer with disease progression following
endocrine therapy and prior chemotherapy in the metastatic setting.
-- Granted Priority Review designation for the New Drug Application
based upon the positive interim results from a study of abemaciclib
in combination with an aromatase inhibitor as initial
endocrine-based therapy for the treatment of women with hormone
receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2
(HER2)-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
-- After discussions with the FDA in late August, Lilly will resubmit the
New Drug Application for baricitinib before the end of January 2018. The
resubmission package will include new safety and efficacy data.
Baricitinib, which is part of a collaboration between Lilly and Incyte,
is a once-daily oral investigational medication for the treatment of
patients with moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The
companies anticipate the FDA will classify the application as a Class II
resubmission, which will start a new six-month review cycle.
-- Jardiance(®) (empagliflozin) was approved in China as an adjunct to
diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2
diabetes. The Jardiance label includes data on the reduction of risk of
cardiovascular death in patients with type 2 diabetes and established
cardiovascular disease. Jardiance is part of the company's alliance with
Boehringer Ingelheim.
Clinical
-- The company announced that lasmiditan, an investigational, oral,
first-in-class molecule for the acute treatment of migraine, met its
primary endpoint in a second Phase 3 study. At two hours following the
first dose, a greater percentage of patients treated with lasmiditan
were migraine pain-free compared to placebo. Lilly plans to submit a New
Drug Application for lasmiditan to the FDA in the second half of 2018.
-- The company and Incyte announced new safety and efficacy data from a
Phase 2 study of baricitinib in people with moderate-to-severe atopic
dermatitis (AD). The results showed that baricitinib in combination with
a mid-potency topical corticosteroid (TCS) significantly improved the
signs and symptoms of AD compared to TCS alone. Baricitinib is part of a
collaboration with Incyte.
-- The company announced that its Phase 3 study evaluating Verzenio as
monotherapy in KRAS-mutated, advanced non-small lung cancer did not meet
its primary endpoint of overall survival. However, an analysis of the
secondary study endpoints of both progression-free survival and overall
response rate showed evidence of monotherapy activity in the abemaciclib
arm.
Business Development/Other Developments
-- The company today announced that it is reviewing strategic alternatives
for its Elanco Animal Health business, including an initial public
offering, merger, sale, or retention of the business, and will provide
an update no later than the middle of 2018.
-- The Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office has ruled in the company's favor regarding patentability of the
vitamin regimen for Alimta(®). If the patent is ultimately upheld
through all remaining challenges, Alimta would maintain U.S. exclusivity
until May 2022, preventing marketing of generic products for as long as
the patent remains in force.
-- The company announced actions to streamline operations to more
efficiently focus resources on developing new medicines and to improve
its cost structure. Global workforce reductions, including those from a
U.S. voluntary early retirement program, are expected to impact
approximately 3,500 positions. Annualized savings of approximately $500
million will be about equally split to improve the company's cost
structure and reinvest in the business, including product launches and
clinical development for new indications and line extensions. Lilly
confirmed these savings would improve upon its previous commitment and
now expects to achieve an OPEX-to-revenue ratio of 49 percent or less in
2018.
-- The company and CureVac AG announced a global immuno-oncology
collaboration focused on the development and commercialization of up to
five potential cancer vaccine products based on CureVac's proprietary
RNActive(®) technology. This transaction is subject to clearance under
the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and other customary
closing conditions. Subject to the closing of this transaction and under
the terms of the agreement, CureVac will receive an upfront payment of
$50 million and an equity investment of EUR45 million.
-- Following the impact of Hurricane Maria, the company has accounted for
all employees in Puerto Rico, and its manufacturing sites had minimal
damage. The company's inventory strategy for products is designed to
protect against this type of event, and Lilly sees no product supply
risk or other significant financial impact at this time.
-- The company announced plans to invest $72 million in an insulin
manufacturing project at one of its Indianapolis facilities. The
investment will be used to replace an existing insulin vial filling line
and allow Lilly to meet growing demand for its insulins -- including
Humalog(®) (insulin lispro) and Humulin(® )(human insulin) -- while
upgrading to state-of-the-art technology and preparing for its insulin
pipeline. This new project is part of $850 million in anticipated U.S.
capital investments the company announced in March of this year.
Third-Quarter Reported Results
In the third quarter of 2017, worldwide revenue was $5.658 billion, an increase of 9 percent compared with the third quarter of 2016. The revenue increase was driven by a 7 percent increase due to volume and a 2 percent increase due to higher realized prices.
Revenue in the U.S. increased 9 percent, to $3.104 billion, due to increased volume for new pharmaceutical products, including Trulicity(®), Basaglar(®), Taltz(®), Jardiance and Lartruvo(TM), as well as increased volume for companion animal products from the acquisition of Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica's U.S. feline, canine and rabies vaccine portfolio, and higher realized prices for several pharmaceutical products, primarily driven by Forteo(®), Humalog and Cialis(®). The increase in revenue was partially offset by decreased volume due to loss of exclusivity for Strattera(®) and Effient(®), as well as decreased demand for Cialis and food animal products. Cymbalta(®) revenue declined by approximately $145 million, as the third quarter of 2016 included an increase in revenue due to a reduction to the return reserve.
Revenue outside the U.S. increased 8 percent, to $2.554 billion, due to increased volume for several new pharmaceutical products, primarily driven by Trulicity and Cyramza(®).
Gross margin increased 8 percent, to $4.092 billion, in the third quarter of 2017 compared with the third quarter of 2016. Gross margin as a percent of revenue was 72.3 percent, a decrease of 0.7 percentage points compared with the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in gross margin percent was primarily due to the effect of foreign exchange rates on international inventories sold and negative product mix, partially offset by manufacturing efficiencies.
Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2017, defined as the sum of research and development and marketing, selling and administrative expenses, increased 3 percent to $2.875 billion. Research and development expenses increased 7 percent, to $1.319 billion, or 23.3 percent of revenue. This increase is primarily due to a $50 million milestone payment related to lanabecestat as part of the company's collaboration with AstraZeneca and, to a lesser extent, higher late-stage clinical development costs. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses decreased 1 percent, to $1.556 billion, due to decreased expenses related to late life-cycle products, partially offset by increased expenses related to new pharmaceutical products. Operating expenses were 50.8 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 2017, a reduction of 3.2 percentage points compared with the third quarter of 2016.
In the third quarter of 2017, the company recognized acquired in-process research and development charges of $205.0 million associated with a strategic collaboration with Nektar Therapeutics to co-develop NKTR-358, a novel immunological therapy that has potential to treat a number of autoimmune and other chronic inflammatory conditions, and a new collaboration with KeyBioscience focused on the development of Dual Amylin Calcitonin Receptor Agonists (DACRAs), a potential new class of treatments for metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes. There were no acquired in-process research and development charges in the third quarter of 2016.
In the third quarter of 2017, the company recognized asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges of $406.5 million. The charges are partially associated with asset impairments related to lower projected revenue for Posilac(®) (rbST). The company is exploring strategic options for Posilac, including seeking a buyer for the molecule and its Augusta manufacturing site. The charges are also associated with severance costs incurred as a result of actions taken to reduce the company's cost structure. Charges related to the U.S. voluntary early retirement program will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017. In the third quarter of 2016, the company recognized asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges of $45.5 million, primarily related to integration and severance costs for Novartis Animal Health.
Operating income in the third quarter of 2017 was $605.5 million, a decrease of $338.0 million compared with the third quarter of 2016, primarily driven by asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges, and acquired in-process research and development, partially offset by higher gross margin.
Other income (expense) was expense of $13.9 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared with income of $27.2 million in the third quarter of 2016. The increase in other expense was driven by higher net gains on investments in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to 2017.
The effective tax rate was 6.1 percent in the third quarter of 2017, compared with 19.9 percent in the third quarter of 2016. The lower effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2017 is primarily due to the income tax benefit of acquired in-process research and development charges and asset impairment, restructuring, and other special charges.
In the third quarter of 2017, net income decreased 29 percent, to $555.6 million, and earnings per share decreased 27 percent, to $0.53, compared with $778.0 million and $0.73, respectively, in the third quarter of 2016. The decreases in net income and earnings per share were primarily driven by lower operating income.
Third-Quarter Non-GAAP Measures
On a non-GAAP basis, third-quarter 2017 gross margin increased 7 percent, to $4.252 billion. Gross margin as a percent of revenue was 75.1 percent, a decrease of 1.3 percentage points compared with the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in gross margin percent was primarily due to the effect of foreign exchange rates on international inventories sold and negative product mix, partially offset by manufacturing efficiencies.
Operating expenses were 50.8 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 2017, a reduction of 3.1 percentage points compared with the third quarter of 2016.
Operating income increased $211.7 million, or 18 percent, to $1.378 billion in the third quarter of 2017, primarily due to higher gross margin partially offset by increased operating expenses.
The effective tax rate was 18.9 percent in the third quarter of 2017, compared with 22.0 percent in the third quarter of 2016. The lower effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2017 is primarily due to a net discrete tax benefit of approximately $30 million.
In the third quarter of 2017, net income increased 19 percent, to $1.107 billion, and earnings per share increased 19 percent, to $1.05, compared with $931.0 million and $0.88, respectively, in the third quarter of 2016. The increases in net income and earnings per share were primarily driven by higher operating income.

In the third quarter of 2017, worldwide animal health revenue totaled $740.6 million, an increase of 5 percent compared with the third quarter of 2016. Worldwide food animal revenue decreased 6 percent, to $488.4 million, driven by market access and competitive pressures in U.S. cattle. Worldwide companion animal revenue increased 35 percent, to $252.2 million, driven by the inclusion of $61.2 million in revenue from the acquisition of Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica's U.S. feline, canine and rabies vaccine portfolio, and wholesaler buying patterns in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2016. The increase in revenue was partially offset by competitive pressure and lower realized prices. The company expects these pressures to continue for the balance of 2017.
Elanco has now completed the full integration of two large acquisitions in Novartis Animal Health and Vetmedica's vaccines portfolio, and most recently announced actions to explore strategic options for Posilac (rbST) and consolidate manufacturing operations. It expects the acquisitions to provide the foundation for a return to top-line growth. Elanco remains focused on its three core priorities of delivering innovative products and services to its customers, strengthening performance in high-growth segments, and driving future margin expansion through its long-term productivity agenda.

The table above reflects only line items with non-GAAP adjustments.
(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.
(b) Operating expenses include research and development and marketing, selling and administrative expenses.
