We look forward to hosting the investment community on December 9th, to define Elanco's new era of growth with significant opportunity for long-term shareholder value creation."

(2) Primarily represents revenue from arrangements in which the company manufactures products on behalf of a third party and royalty revenue. In May 2025, we entered into an agreement to monetize certain lotilaner U.S. royalties, among other potential future cash flows, to a third party for proceeds of $295 million. While we are no longer entitled to these qualifying royalties, we are required under GAAP to continue recognizing them as revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, royalty revenue associated with this arrangement, which is reflected within the Contract Manufacturing and Other line in the table above, totaled $6 million. (3) Reported net income and EPS for the third quarter 2024 included the gain on divestiture of our aqua business. This gain had a $470 million, net of tax impact on reported net income (approximately $0.94 per diluted share). NM - Not meaningful In the third quarter of 2025, revenue was $1,137 million, an increase of 10% on a reported basis, or 9% on an organic constant currency basis, compared to the third quarter of 2024. Pet Health revenue was $533 million, an increase of 10% on a reported basis, or 8% on an organic constant currency basis. The year over year volume increase of 9% in the third quarter was primarily driven by new products, including Credelio Quattro and Zenrelia. The Advantage® Family of products and Seresto® contributed revenue of $111 million and $60 million, respectively. The increase in pet health revenue included a 1% decrease from price, compared to the third quarter of 2024, in line with the company's expectation and reflecting fluctuations in customer and product mix. The price decrease was not impacted by Elanco's recently launched products including Zenrelia and Credelio Quattro. Farm Animal revenue was $593 million, an increase of 12% on a reported basis, or 10% on an organic constant currency basis. Third quarter volumes were up 9%, driven by increased volumes across cattle and poultry, led by Experior in U.S. cattle and strength in poultry sales globally. Sales of the company's international farm animal products were negatively impacted in the third quarter by the shift of approximately $10 to $20 million of revenue from the third quarter into the second quarter due to customers' accelerated purchases during the second quarter, primarily in China, in advance of expected future tariff increases. Farm animal organic constant currency revenue growth included a 1% increase from price, compared to the third quarter of 2024. Gross profit was $607 million and gross margin percentage was 53.4% in the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 120 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2024. On an adjusted basis, gross profit was $601 million and gross margin percentage was 53.1% in the third quarter of 2025, a 90 basis point increase compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase in gross margin percentage on both a reported and adjusted basis was primarily driven by the favorable productivity benefits from increased sales volumes. Total operating expenses were $440 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 7% compared to the third quarter of 2024. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased 9% to $351 million, driven by the company's previously announced strategic investments in the global launches of new products and increased selling costs corresponding to increased sales volumes. Research and development expenses increased 2% to $89 million driven primarily by foreign exchange rates. Asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges were $25 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $17 million in the third quarter of 2024. Charges recorded in the third quarter of 2025 primarily related to two early-stage capital projects that were indefinitely suspended. Charges recorded in the third quarter of 2024 primarily related to asset impairments tied to the financial difficulties of our former contract manufacturing supply partner, TriRx Speke, and exit costs related to the strategic change in operating models in certain countries. Reported net interest expense was $52 million in the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $6 million compared to the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was driven by lower outstanding debt balances partially offset by $13 million of imputed interest on the company's liability related to the lotilaner U.S. royalty monetization. Adjusted net interest expense, which excludes this imputed interest, was $34 million in the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $12 million compared to the third quarter of 2024. The reported effective tax rate was 30.9% in the third quarter of 2025, which differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the tax impact from the jurisdictional mix of projected income and losses in non-U.S. jurisdictions and the impacts of discrete tax expenses during the quarter, including the remeasurement of certain deferred tax positions due to a foreign tax rate change. The adjusted effective tax rate was 26.5% in the third quarter of 2025, compared to 18.7% in the third quarter of 2024. Net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $34 million, or $(0.07) per diluted share on a reported basis, compared with net income of $364 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, for the same period in 2024. Reported net income in 2024 included the gain on divestiture of the company's aqua business, which had an approximate impact of $0.94 on diluted earnings per share. On an adjusted basis, net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $94 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, a 46% increase compared with the same period in 2024. The increase in adjusted net income was largely due to the year-over-year increase in adjusted gross profit and decreased adjusted interest expense, partially offset by selling and marketing expenses supporting the company's global launches. Adjusted EBITDA was $198 million in the third quarter of 2025, a 21% increase compared to the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.5% compared with 15.8% for the third quarter of 2024. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was also largely due to the year-over-year increase in adjusted gross profit, partially offset by the increased selling and marketing expenses supporting the company's global launches. Working Capital and Balance Sheet Cash provided by operations was $219 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to cash provided by operations of $162 million in the third quarter of 2024. As of September 30, 2025, Elanco's net leverage ratio was 3.7x adjusted EBITDA, a decrease of 0.6x compared to December 31, 2024, driven by debt paydown efforts and strong cash generation. The company now expects to end the year with a net leverage ratio of 3.7x to 3.8x. 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) August Guidance November Guidance Revenue $4,570 to $4,620 $4,645 to $4,670 Reported Net Loss $(38) to $(14) $(56) to $(41) Adjusted EBITDA $850 to $890 $880 to $900 Reported Loss per Share $(0.08) to $(0.03) $(0.11) to $(0.08) Adjusted Earnings per Share $0.85 to $0.91 $0.91 to $0.94 "I am pleased to have joined Elanco during this period of strong momentum," said Bob VanHimbergen, Executive Vice President and CFO of Elanco Animal Health. "Through consistent execution, we are again raising our 2025 full-year guidance, while also making incremental data-driven investments to power our innovation launches in this new era of growth. Additionally, we refinanced our $2.1 billion Term Loan B facility, extending the maturities through 2032. We expect our balance sheet to be in a strong position as we exit 2025, and we are excited to share more details at our December Investor Day on how Elanco is driving value creation through Elanco Ascend, our company-wide productivity initiative, as well as cash generation." Elanco anticipates a tailwind to revenue of approximately $30 million from the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates compared with the August earnings call. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, royalty revenue sold to a third party, and the aqua divestiture, the company now expects revenue growth of 6% to 6.5% versus 5% to 6% previously. The company continues to expect price to contribute approximately 2 percentage points to full year revenue growth. Elanco now expects adjusted gross margin of 54.9% to 55.2%, up 30 basis points at the midpoint of the range versus the prior range, and now expects operating expenses to increase approximately 8% year over year in constant currency, versus 7% previously, with incremental strategic investment in the global launches of the innovation portfolio. Full year adjusted EBITDA includes a current estimate for net tariff impact of $10 to $14 million. Additionally, the company is providing guidance for the fourth quarter of 2025, as summarized in the following table: 2025 Fourth Quarter (dollars in millions, except per share amounts) Guidance Revenue $1,085 to $1,110 Reported Net Loss $(100) to $(86) Adjusted EBITDA $168 to $188 Reported Loss per Share $(0.20) to $(0.17) Adjusted Earnings per Share $0.09 to $0.12 In the fourth quarter, Elanco expects a tailwind to revenue of approximately $10 million from the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates compared to the prior year. Excluding the impacts of foreign exchange rates and royalty revenue sold to a third party, the company expects 4% to 6% organic constant currency revenue growth. The company expects operating expenses up approximately 10% year over year in constant currency with strategic investment in the global launches of the innovation portfolio and a shift in timing of some expenses. The 2025 full year and fourth quarter financial guidance reflects foreign exchange rates as of the end of 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.

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.

The company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors. Among other things, they may help investors assess and analyze our operational results and trends of our ongoing operations. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business and in making resource allocation decisions. 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. Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and reported GAAP financial measures are included in the tables below. Adjusted Gross Profit and Gross Margin Percentage We define gross profit as total revenue less cost of sales. We define adjusted gross profit as gross profit less royalty revenue sold to a third party, less cost of sales adjustments. We define adjusted gross margin percentage as adjusted gross profit divided by total revenue, less royalty revenue sold to a third party. The following is a reconciliation of GAAP reported gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, to adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin percentage: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 GAAP reported gross profit $ 607 $ 538 $ 2,004 $ 1,917 Sold royalty revenue (6) — (10) — Cost of sales adjustments — — 1 — Adjusted gross profit $ 601 $ 538 $ 1,995 $ 1,917 Adjusted gross margin percentage 53.1 % 52.2 % 56.0 % 56.1 % Adjusted Net Income and Earnings Per Share We define adjusted net income as net income (loss) 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, the impacts from sales of future revenues, 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 earnings per share (EPS) as adjusted net income divided by the number of weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The following is a reconciliation of GAAP reported net (loss) income and EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, to adjusted net income and EPS: Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 Net (loss) income (a) EPS Net income (a) EPS GAAP reported net (loss) income and EPS $ (34) $ (0.07) $ 364 $ 0.73 Amortization of intangible assets 140 0.28 133 0.27 Asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges (1) 25 0.05 17 0.04 Sold royalty revenue (6) (0.01) — — Gain on divestiture — — (640) (1.29) Interest expense, net of capitalized interest (2) 18 0.04 12 0.02 Other expense, net 1 0.00 — — Income tax (benefit) expense (3) (50) (0.10) 180 0.36 Adjusted net income and EPS $ 94 $ 0.19 $ 66 $ 0.13 (a) Adjustments to GAAP reported net (loss) income to arrive at adjusted net income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, included the following: (1) Adjustments of $25 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily related to two early-stage capital projects totaling $16 million that were indefinitely suspended during the third quarter. 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 former contract manufacturing supply partner, TriRx Speke. (2) Adjustments of $18 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily related to $13 million of imputed interest expense on our liability for sale of future revenue, and to a lesser degree, the write-off of previously deferred financing costs, given accelerated principal repayments. Adjustments of $12 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were attributable to the write-off of previously deferred financing costs, given the accelerated principal repayments made with the proceeds from the sale of our aqua business. (3) Adjustments of $50 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily represented the income tax expense associated with the adjusted items discussed above and the discrete tax impact from the remeasurement of certain deferred tax positions due to a foreign tax rate change. 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 (approximately $170 million). The following is a reconciliation of GAAP reported net income and EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, to adjusted net income and EPS: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Net Income (a) EPS Net Income (a) EPS GAAP reported net income and EPS $ 44 $ 0.09 $ 346 $ 0.70 Cost of sales adjustments 1 0.00 — — Amortization of intangible assets 404 0.81 397 0.80 Asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges (1) 35 0.07 143 0.29 Sold royalty revenue (10) (0.02) — — Gain on divestiture — — (640) (1.29) Interest expense, net of capitalized interest (2) 28 0.06 12 0.02 Other expense, net 5 0.01 4 0.01 Income tax (benefit) expense (3) (98) (0.20) 118 0.23 Adjusted net income and EPS $ 409 $ 0.82 $ 380 $ 0.76 The table above reflects only line items with non-GAAP adjustments. Numbers may not add due to rounding. (a) Adjustments to reported GAAP measures for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, included the following: (1) Adjustments of $35 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, included two early-stage capital projects totaling $16 million that were indefinitely suspended during the third quarter of 2025 and $7 million of upfront payments made in relation to new licensing arrangements. Amounts recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, included impairment charges of $53 million related to a pet health IPR&D asset (IL-4R) during the second quarter of 2024, $15 million of asset impairments tied to the financial difficulties of our former contract manufacturing supply partner, TriRx Speke, $45 million of costs associated with our restructuring plan announced in February 2024 and $17 million of transaction costs related to the sale of our aqua business. (2) Adjustments of $28 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily related to $20 million of imputed interest expense on our liability for sale of future revenue and the write-off of previously deferred financing costs, given accelerated principal repayments made throughout 2025. Adjustments of $12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were attributable to the write-off of previously deferred financing costs, given the accelerated principal repayments made with the proceeds from the sale of our aqua business. (3) Adjustments of $98 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily represented the income tax expense associated with the adjusted items discussed above and the discrete tax impacts from the remeasurement of certain deferred tax positions due to foreign tax rate changes, partially offset by a $35 million benefit related to a discrete tax item recognized during the first quarter of 2025. Adjustments of $118 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, represented the income tax expense associated with the adjusted items discussed above, particularly the gain on divestiture of our aqua business (approximately $170 million). Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense (income), which includes debt extinguishment losses and imputed interest on our liability for sale of future revenue, 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, revenue sold to a third party, 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. 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 reported net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, which we define as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue, less royalty revenue sold to a third party, for the respective periods: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 GAAP reported net (loss) income $ (34) $ 364 $ 44 $ 346 Net interest expense 52 58 140 189 Income tax (benefit) expense (16) 195 (9) 193 Depreciation and amortization 176 169 506 498 EBITDA $ 178 $ 786 $ 681 $ 1,226 Non-GAAP adjustments: Cost of sales adjustments $ — $ — $ 1 $ — Asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges 25 17 35 143 Sold royalty revenue (6) — (10) — Gain on divestiture — (640) — (640) Other expense, net 1 — 5 4 Adjusted EBITDA $ 198 $ 163 $ 712 $ 733 Adjusted EBITDA margin 17.5 % 15.8 % 20.0 % 21.4 % Numbers may not add due to rounding. Gross and Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio 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 and finance lease liabilities on the balance sheet. We define our net leverage ratio as net debt divided by our trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA. We believe our net debt and net leverage ratio are important measures to monitor our financial flexibility, liquidity and capital structure and may enhance investors' understanding of our ability to meet future financial obligations. In addition, a net leverage ratio is a financial measure that is frequently used by investors and creditors. The below calculations do not include Term Loan B covenant-related adjustments that reduce our net leverage ratio. The following is a reconciliation of gross debt to net debt as of September 30, 2025: Long-term debt $ 3,962 Current portion of long-term debt 62 Less: Unamortized debt issuance costs (17) Total gross debt 4,041 Less: Cash and cash equivalents 505 Less: Finance lease liabilities 255 Net debt $ 3,281 The following table presents a calculation of our net leverage ratio as of September 30, 2025: Net debt $ 3,281 Trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA $ 889 Net leverage ratio 3.7 Elanco Animal Health Incorporated 2025 Full Year and Fourth Quarter Guidance Reconciliation of 2025 full year reported EPS guidance to 2025 adjusted EPS guidance is as follows: Full Year 2025 Guidance Reported loss per share $(0.11) to $(0.08) Cost of sales Approx. $0.00 Amortization of intangible assets Approx. $1.08 Asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges $0.07 to $0.08 Other expense, net Approx. $0.05 Royalty monetization Approx. $0.03 Subtotal $1.24 to $1.25 Tax impact of adjustments $(0.22) to $(0.23) Total adjustments to EPS Approx. $1.02 Adjusted earnings per share (1) $0.91 to $0.94 Numbers may not add due to rounding.
