1ST QUARTER: ELANCO'S REVENUES DOWN 1%, NET INCOME DOUBLES: $67 MILLION
Source: Elanco news release

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."

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.
