GREENFIELD, Ind., Nov. 7, 2024/PRNewswire/ -- Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE: ELAN) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2024, provided guidance for the fourth quarter of 2024, and tightened guidance for the full year 2024.
"Elanco's expanding portfolio supported our fifth consecutive quarter of underlying organic constant currency revenue growth in the third quarter, and we continue to expect 3% organic constant currency growth for the full year. It's exciting to see our Innovation, Portfolio and Productivity strategy come to life with new products driving growth, led by Experior®, Adtab™ and Zenrelia, and we expect this growth to accelerate to mid-single digits in 2025," said Jeff Simmons, President and CEO of Elanco. "Our late-stage pipeline has largely moved into commercialization mode with the U.S. FDA approval and launch of Zenrelia, which is off to a great start in the U.S. and Brazil. Additionally, we received U.S. FDA approval for Credelio Quattro, positioning Elanco to bring positively differentiated products to the two largest pet health markets that will contribute to an expected return to growth for U.S. pet health in 2025. Finally, we continue to drive improved cash flow and deleveraging, finishing the third quarter with net leverage at 4.3x, down 1.3x compared to June 30th aided by the proceeds from the aqua divestiture and debt paydown from operations, with continued deleveraging expected in 2025."
Select Business Highlights Since the Last Earnings Call
- Received U.S. FDA approval for Zenrelia, a JAK inhibitor targeting control of pruritus and atopic dermatitis in dogs, with product launch in both the U.S. and Brazil in late September 2024. Additionally, the company has received approval for Zenrelia in Canada and Japan.

Numbers may not add due to rounding. |
In the third quarter of 2024, revenue was $1,030 million, a decrease of 4% on a reported basis, or an increase of 1% when excluding the unfavorable impacts from the aqua divestiture and foreign exchange rates compared to the third quarter of 2023.
Pet Health revenue was $486 million, a decrease of 2% on a reported and constant currency basis, including a 2% increase from price, compared to the third quarter of 2023. The year over year volume decline in the third quarter was primarily driven by competitive pressure on certain products in the U.S. veterinary channel, competitive pressure in Australia and supply volatility for vaccines in the U.S., partially offset by increased sales of new products and improved demand for retail parasiticide products in the U.S. and Europe, primarily Seresto®.
The Advantage® Family of products, contributed $114 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 6% excluding the impact from foreign exchange rates. Seresto revenue was $50 million, an increase of 22% excluding the impact from foreign exchange rates.
Farm Animal revenue was $530 million, a decrease of 6% on a reported basis, or an increase of 3% when excluding the unfavorable impacts from the aqua divestiture and foreign exchange rates, driven by a 3% increase from price, compared to the third quarter of 2023. Third quarter volumes were flat primarily driven by strength in U.S. cattle, led by Experior and Rumensin, and poultry sales in the U.S. and Europe, offset by lower demand for sheep products in Australia and planned volume declines from the strategic decision to change go-to-market models in certain countries, as well as the European recall of Kexxtone™.
Gross profit was $538 million, or 52.2% of revenue in the third quarter of 2024 with a 220-basis point decline in gross profit as a percent of revenue compared to the third quarter of 2023. The decline was primarily driven by higher inflation, unfavorable manufacturing performance, and product mix associated with the divested aqua business, partially offset by increased pricing. The year-over-year change in gross margin from reduced throughput at certain manufacturing sites was largely neutral.
Total operating expenses were $410 million for the third quarter of 2024. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased 3% to $323 million, primarily driven by higher employee related expenses and increased expenses supporting the U.S. pet health business, partially offset by savings related to the company's first quarter 2024 restructuring. Research and development expenses increased 1% to $87 million.
Asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges were $17 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $16 million in the third quarter of 2023. Charges recorded in the third quarter of 2024 primarily related to the impairment of a U.K. contract manufacturing organization (CMO) contract asset as a result of its court-supervised insolvency and exit costs related to the strategic change in operating models in certain countries.
During the third quarter of 2024, the company recorded a pre-tax gain on the divestiture of the aqua business of $640 million, resulting in an impact of $0.94 per share, net of tax on a reported basis.
Reported net interest expense was $58 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $14 million compared to the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted net interest expense was $46 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $26 million compared to the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was driven by lower debt enabled by the aqua divestiture.
The reported effective tax rate was 34.8% in the third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by the tax expense associated with the aqua divestiture, compared to 0.2% in the third quarter of 2023. The adjusted effective tax rate increased to 18.7% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to 16.0% in the third quarter of 2023.
Net income for the third quarter of 2024 was $364 million and $0.73 per diluted share on a reported basis, primarily driven by the gain on the divestiture of the aqua business, compared with a net loss of $1,096 million and $2.22 per diluted share for the same period in 2023, which included a $1,042 million goodwill impairment charge. On an adjusted basis, net income for the third quarter of 2024 was $66 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, a 28% decrease compared with the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $163 million in the third quarter of 2024, a 24% decrease compared to the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue was 15.8% compared with 20.0% for the third quarter of 2023.
Working Capital and Balance Sheet
Cash provided by operations was $162 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $198 million in the third quarter of 2023. The $36 million decrease in cash from operations year over year reflects lower adjusted EBITDA and decreased cash from interest rate swap settlements, partially offset by improved working capital.
As of September 30, 2024, Elanco's net leverage ratio was 4.3x adjusted EBITDA, a reduction of 1.3x compared to June 30, 2024. The company expects to end the year with a net leverage ratio in the mid-4x range.

The tightened 2024 revenue guidance continues to reflect 3% organic constant currency growth inclusive of higher innovation sales contribution, now expected between $420 million to $450 million for the full year, offset by lowered expectations for U.S. Pet Health parasiticides. The impact of foreign exchange rates on revenue is now expected to be a headwind of approximately $25 million. The company is updating its adjusted EBITDA guidance range to reflect expected gross margin headwinds from product mix and manufacturing performance. Offsetting the items impacting adjusted EBITDA, improved expectations for interest expense and tax are reflected in the updated adjusted EPS guidance, with no change to the midpoint of the range.
To support framing of future expectations, the company estimates that in the first half of 2024 revenue of $80 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $40 million was directly attributable to the aqua business.
Additionally, the company is providing guidance for the fourth quarter of 2024, as summarized in the following table:

For the fourth quarter of 2024, the company anticipates revenue between $1.00 billion and $1.03 billion, with a headwind of approximately $5 million from the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates compared to the prior year. The company expects organic constant currency revenue growth of 1% to 4%.
"We are encouraged by the acceleration of constant currency sales growth from 1% in 2023 to the expected 3% organic constant currency growth in 2024. We see this accelerating further to mid-single digits in 2025 with increased sales from new products and a stabilizing base driving expected growth in both pet health and farm animal," said Todd Young, CFO of Elanco. "We expect the underlying business to drive mid-single digit organic adjusted EBITDA growth in 2025 off of $875 million, reflecting our 2024 guidance midpoint of $915 million less our estimate of approximately $40 million of aqua adjusted EBITDA from 2024, inclusive of strategic investments in our key blockbuster potential launches. Ultimately, we expect adjusted EBITDA growth in the low single digits driven by an anticipated $25 million to $35 million year over year headwind from the court-supervised insolvency of a key U.K-based contract manufacturing partner. We continue to expect innovation sales of $600 million to $700 million and our net leverage to be in the high 3x to low 4x range by the end of 2025."
The 2024 financial guidance and 2025 outlook reflects foreign currency exchange rates as of late October. 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. The company expects to provide detailed 2025 financial guidance during its fourth quarter 2024 earnings call at the end of February 2025.

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 (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.

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 September 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 September 30, 2024 and 2023, include the following: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1) |
Adjustments of $17 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, principally reflected $15 million of asset impairments tied to the financial difficulties of our contract manufacturing supply partner, TriRx, the largest of which was a $12 million impairment of a contract asset related to a favorable supply agreement. Adjustments of $16 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, related to charges associated with integration efforts and external costs related to the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health ($11 million) and the write-down of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily due to increases in discount rates ($5 million). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2) |
Adjustments of $12 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were attributable to the write-off of previously deferred financing costs associated with our term loan debt, given accelerated principal repayments made during the three months ended September 30, 2024. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(3) |
Adjustments of $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily related to increases in contingent consideration payable to NutriQuest, as well as the impact of hyperinflationary accounting related to Turkey. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(4) |
Adjustments of $180 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, represented the income tax expense associated with the adjusted items discussed above, particularly the gain on divestiture ($171 million). Adjustments of $19 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily represented the income tax expense associated with the adjusted items discussed above. |

|
|

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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA Margin, which is adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue, for the respective periods:
