Certain financial information for 2019 and 2018 is 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), include all revenue and expenses recognized during the periods, and reflect Elanco Animal Health as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Non-GAAP measures reflect adjustments for the items described in the reconciliation tables later in the release, and assume that the disposition of Elanco occurred at the beginning of all periods presented (including the benefit from the reduction in shares of common stock outstanding). The company's 2019 financial guidance is being provided on both a reported and a non-GAAP basis. The non-GAAP measures are presented to provide additional insights into the underlying trends in the company's business.
"Lilly continued to execute well against our strategic priorities in the first quarter of 2019," said David A. Ricks, Lilly's chairman and CEO. "We delivered volume-based revenue growth despite the loss of patent exclusivity for several products, increased our investments in new brands, and further funded our pipeline of potential new medicines. We also completed two transformative transactions in the first quarter, the disposition of our remaining ownership in Elanco Animal Health and the acquisition of Loxo Oncology, which adds a potential 2020 launch and strengthens our oncology pipeline of precision medicines for patients with difficult to treat cancers."
Key Events Over the Last Three Months
Regulatory
-- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Priority Review for
the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Emgality(®)
for the preventive treatment of episodic cluster headache in adults.
-- The company received notification that the U.S. FDA extended the review
time by up to three months for nasal glucagon to allow for review of
information requested late in the review cycle. The submission of the
additional information constituted a Major Amendment.
-- The company has been working with global regulatory agencies to
facilitate the withdrawal from the market of Lartruvo(® )for the
treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcoma. Lilly is establishing a
program to ensure current patients will have access to Lartruvo with
limited interruption after it is withdrawn from the market. The program
will be established as allowed by local country regulations.
Clinical
-- The company and Boehringer Ingelheim announced that the cardiovascular
outcome trial of Tradjenta(®) met its primary endpoint of
non-inferiority compared with glimepiride in time to first occurrence of
cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or non-fatal
stroke.
-- The company announced that a Phase 3 study of Cyramza(®) met its
primary endpoint of progression-free survival, demonstrating a
statistically significant improvement in the time patients lived without
their cancer growing or spreading after starting treatment. The Phase 3
trial evaluated Cyramza in combination with erlotinib, compared to
placebo in combination with erlotinib, as a first-line treatment in
patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have
activating EGFR mutations.
-- The company and Pfizer Inc. announced top-line results from a Phase 3
study evaluating tanezumab in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic
low back pain. In the study, treatment with tanezumab 10 mg met the
primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement
in pain at 16 weeks compared to placebo. The tanezumab 5 mg arm
demonstrated a numerical improvement in pain, but did not reach
statistical significance compared to placebo at the week 16 analysis.
-- The company and Pfizer Inc. announced top-line results from a Phase 3
study comparing the long-term joint safety and 16-week efficacy of
tanezumab relative to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in
patients with moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip or knee.
The tanezumab 5 mg treatment arm met two of the three co-primary
efficacy endpoints, demonstrating a statistically significant
improvement in pain and physical function compared to NSAIDs at the
16-week analysis, while patients' overall assessment of their OA was not
statistically different than NSAIDs. Patients who received tanezumab 2.5
mg did not experience a statistically significant improvement in pain,
physical function or patients' overall assessment of their OA at 16
weeks compared to NSAIDs. In the safety analysis, there was a
statistically significant higher rate of joint safety events in the
tanezumab arms compared to NSAIDs at 80 weeks. The companies are
analyzing these findings in the context of recent Phase 3 results and
will assess potential next steps for tanezumab.
-- The company announced that Taltz(®) met the primary and all major
secondary endpoints in a Phase 3 study evaluating its safety and
efficacy for the treatment of non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis
in patients who are biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic
drug-naïve.
Business Development/Other Developments
-- The company completed the previously announced disposition of Elanco
Animal Health, and accepted shares of Lilly common stock in exchange for
its remaining 80.2% interest in Elanco. As a result, Lilly recognized an
approximate $3.7 billion gain on the Elanco disposition in the first
quarter of 2019.
-- The company completed the acquisition of Loxo Oncology, Inc., broadening
the scope of Lilly's oncology portfolio into precision medicines through
the addition of a promising pipeline of investigational medicines,
including LOXO-292, a first-in-class oral RET inhibitor that has been
granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA for three
indications, with an initial potential launch in 2020, and LOXO-305, an
oral BTK inhibitor currently in Phase 1/2. Additionally, Bayer Consumer
Care AG exercised its election under the Bayer/Loxo agreement to convert
its co-exclusive license to an exclusive license in the U.S. and Puerto
Rico regarding the development and commercialization of the TRK
inhibitors Vitrakvi(®) and LOXO-195. As a result, Lilly is eligible to
receive milestones and royalties from Bayer on future sales of Vitrakvi
and LOXO-195 both in the U.S. and in international markets.
-- The company announced it will introduce Insulin Lispro, a lower-priced
version of Humalog(®), in the United States, providing people with
diabetes an insulin option that will have a list price 50 percent lower
than the current Humalog list price.
-- The company and ImmuNext, Inc. announced a global licensing and research
collaboration focused on the study of a preclinical novel target that
could lead to potential new medicines for autoimmune diseases by
regulating immune cell metabolism.
-- The company and Avidity Biosciences, Inc. announced a global licensing
and research collaboration focused on the discovery, development and
commercialization of potential new medicines in immunology and other
select indications.
-- The company announced an agreement to sell the rights in China for two
legacy antibiotic medicines, Ceclor(®) and Vancocin(®), as well as a
manufacturing facility in Suzhou, China that produces Ceclor, to
Eddingpharm, a China-based specialty pharmaceutical company.
-- The company and Incyte Corporation announced that Incyte has elected to
no longer co-fund the development of baricitinib. As a result, Lilly
will solely fund all future development of baricitinib and pay a lower
royalty rate to Incyte on future sales.
-- The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled in the company's
favor regarding patentability of the vitamin regimen for Alimta(®). The
decision upholds an October 2017 decision by the Patent Trial and Appeal
Board of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
First-Quarter Reported Results
In the first quarter of 2019, worldwide revenue was $5.092 billion, an increase of 3 percent compared with the first quarter of 2018. The increase in revenue was driven by a 7 percent increase due to volume, partially offset by a 3 percent decrease due to lower realized prices, and a 2 percent decrease due to the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.
Revenue in the U.S. increased 3 percent, to $2.891 billion, driven by increased volume of 6 percent, partially offset by lower realized prices. U.S. volume growth was driven by key growth products, primarily Trulicity(®), Taltz, Verzenio(®), and Basaglar(®), partially offset by significant volume declines for products that have lost exclusivity, including Cialis(®) and Strattera(®).
Revenue outside the U.S. increased 2 percent, to $2.201 billion, driven by increased volume of 9 percent, which was primarily from key growth products, including Trulicity, Olumiant(®), and Taltz. The increase in revenue was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates and, to a lesser extent, lower realized prices.
Gross margin increased 4 percent, to $3.953 billion, in the first quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2018. Gross margin as a percent of revenue was 77.6 percent, an increase of 1.1 percentage points compared with the first quarter of 2018. The increase in gross margin percent was primarily due to the favorable effect of foreign exchange rates on international inventories sold, partially offset by the timing of planned manufacturing production schedules, decreased volume for post-patent products, unfavorable product mix, the negative impact of price on revenue, and charges resulting from the suspension of promotion of Lartruvo.
Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2019, defined as the sum of research and development and marketing, selling, and administrative expenses, increased 12 percent to $2.748 billion compared with the first quarter of 2018. Research and development expenses increased 11 percent to $1.231 billion, or 24.2 percent of revenue, driven by higher development expenses for late-stage assets. Marketing, selling, and administrative expenses increased 13 percent, to $1.517 billion, primarily due to increased marketing expenses related to recent product launches.
In the first quarter of 2019, the company recognized acquired in-process research and development charges of $136.9 million, related to the previously announced business development transactions with AC Immune SA and ImmuNext, Inc. There were no acquired in-process research and development charges in the first quarter of 2018.
In the first quarter of 2019, the company recognized asset impairment, restructuring, and other special charges of $423.9 million. The charges were primarily associated with accelerated vesting of Loxo Oncology employee equity awards as part of the closing of the $8.0 billion acquisition of Loxo Oncology. In the first quarter of 2018, the company recognized asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges of $56.8 million, primarily associated with asset impairment and restructuring charges related to the decision to end Posilac(®) (rbST) production at the Augusta, Georgia manufacturing site.
Operating income in the first quarter of 2019 was $645.1 million, compared to $1.296 billion in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in operating income was driven by higher asset impairment, restructuring, and other special charges, higher operating expense and higher acquired in-process research and development charges, partially offset by higher gross margin.
Other income (expense) was income of $86.0 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared with income of $69.5 million in the first quarter of 2018. The increase in other income was primarily driven by higher mark-to-market adjustments on investment securities, partially offset by higher net interest expense.
The effective tax rate was 23.3 percent in the first quarter of 2019, compared with 14.5 percent in the first quarter of 2018. The higher effective tax rate is primarily due to the non-deductibility of the accelerated vesting of Loxo Oncology employee equity awards as part of the closing of the acquisition of Loxo Oncology, as well as tax expenses associated with the suspension of promotion of Lartruvo.
Net income from discontinued operations was $3.681 billion in the first quarter of 2019, compared with $50.2 million in the first quarter of 2018. The increase in income from discontinued operations was driven by the gain recognized on the disposition of Elanco Animal Health.
In the first quarter of 2019, net income and earnings per share were $4.242 billion and $4.31, respectively, compared with net income of $1.217 billion and earnings per share of $1.16 in the first quarter of 2018. The increases in net income and earnings per share in the first quarter of 2019 were driven by the gain recognized on the disposition of Elanco Animal Health, partially offset by lower operating income.
First-Quarter Non-GAAP Measures
On a non-GAAP basis, first-quarter 2019 gross margin increased 5 percent, to $4.082 billion compared with the first quarter of 2018. Gross margin as a percent of revenue was 80.2 percent, an increase of 1.6 percentage points. The increase in gross margin percent was primarily due to the favorable effect of foreign exchange rates on international inventories sold, partially offset by the timing of planned manufacturing shutdowns, decreased volume for post-patent products, unfavorable product mix and the negative impact of price on revenue.
Operating income decreased $122.1 million, or 8 percent, to $1.334 billion in the first quarter of 2019 compared with the first quarter of 2018, due to higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher gross margin.
The effective tax rate was 12.9 percent in the first quarter of 2019, compared with 15.5 percent in the first quarter of 2018. The lower effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 was primarily driven by timing associated with the impact of U.S. tax reform.
In the first quarter of 2019, net income decreased 4 percent, to $1.237 billion, while earnings per share increased 2 percent, to $1.33, compared with $1.290 billion and $1.31, respectively, in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in net income was primarily driven by lower operating income. Earnings per share increased due to a reduction in weighted average shares outstanding resulting from the company's regular, ongoing share repurchase program. Non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding for both periods have been reduced by the approximately 65 million shares retired in the Elanco exchange offer.
For further detail of non-GAAP measures, see the reconciliation below as well as the Reconciliation of GAAP Reported to Selected Non-GAAP Adjusted Information table later in this press release.

2019 Financial Guidance
Following the disposition of the company's remaining ownership in Elanco Animal Health, Elanco's financial results were no longer included in Lilly's financial results beginning March 12, 2019. On a reported basis, the 2019 financial guidance outlined below includes the financial results of the Elanco business from January 1, 2019 to March 11, 2019 as discontinued operations, including the gain on the disposition of Elanco. The company's 2019 non-GAAP financial guidance excludes the discontinued operations results for Elanco.
The company has updated certain elements of its 2019 financial guidance on a reported basis and on a non-GAAP basis to reflect the disposition of Elanco and provide current expectations for the company's human pharmaceutical business. On a reported basis, earnings per share for 2019 are now expected to be in the range of $8.57 to $8.67. On a non-GAAP basis, earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $5.60 to $5.70.

The company anticipates 2019 revenue between $22.0 billion and $22.5 billion. Revenue growth is expected to be driven by volume from key growth products including Trulicity, Taltz, Basaglar, Jardiance, Verzenio, Cyramza and Olumiant. Revenue growth is also expected to benefit from the recent launch of Emgality and could benefit from the potential approval and launch of other medicines in 2019. Revenue growth is expected to be partially offset by lower revenue for Cialis and other products that have lost patent exclusivity. Revenue growth is also expected to be partially offset by the negative impact of foreign exchange rates, continued low- to mid-single digit price declines in the U.S. driven primarily by patient affordability programs, rebates and legislated increases to Medicare Part D cost sharing, price declines in some international markets and the impact of the planned Lartruvo withdrawal.
Gross margin as a percent of revenue rate is expected to be approximately 79.0 percent on a reported basis and approximately 80.0 percent on a non-GAAP basis.
Marketing, selling and administrative expenses are expected to be in the range of $5.7 billion to $6.0 billion. Research and development expenses are expected to be in the range of $5.5 billion to $5.7 billion.
Other income (expense) is expected to be expense between $100 million and $250 million.
The 2019 effective tax rate is expected to be in the range of 15 percent to 16 percent on a reported basis and 14 percent to 15 percent on a non-GAAP basis.

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.
