INDIANAPOLIS, April 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2014.
Certain financial information for 2014 and 2013 are 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 generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and include all revenue and expenses recognized during the period. Non-GAAP measures exclude the items described in the reconciliation tables later in the release. The non-GAAP measures are presented in order to provide additional insights into the underlying trends in the company's business. The company's 2014 financial guidance is also being provided on both a reported and a non-GAAP basis. "Lilly's first-quarter results reflect the substantial decline in revenue and earnings that we expected to encounter as a result of the recent U.S. patent expirations for Cymbalta and Evista," said John C. Lechleiter, Ph.D., Lilly's chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Beyond our financial performance, the initial months of 2014 have included a series of key regulatory actions, pipeline announcements and business development transactions that solidify the company's future growth prospects, highlighted by the approval of Cyramza in the U.S. and the announced acquisition of Novartis Animal Health." Key Events Over the Last Three Months
First-Quarter Reported Results In the first quarter of 2014, worldwide total revenue was $4.683 billion, a decrease of 16 percent compared with the first quarter of 2013. The revenue decline was comprised of 8 percent due to lower volume, 6 percent due to lower prices, and 2 percent due to the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. The 8 percent decrease in worldwide volume was driven by the loss of U.S. patent exclusivity for Cymbalta® in December 2013, partially offset by volume gains outside the U.S. for other products. The 6 percent decrease in worldwide price was driven by the authorized generic arrangements for duloxetine (Cymbalta) and raloxifene (Evista). Total revenue in the U.S. decreased 34 percent to $2.084 billion driven primarily by lower demand for Cymbalta as well as lower prices, primarily for Cymbalta and Evista. U.S. revenue in the first quarter of 2014 was also negatively affected by wholesaler buying patterns on various products. Total revenue outside the U.S. increased 5 percent to $2.599 billion, driven by higher volume, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, primarily the Japanese yen. Gross margin decreased 22 percent to $3.460 billion in the first quarter of 2014, driven by lower sales of Cymbalta due to the loss of U.S. patent exclusivity. Gross margin as a percent of total revenue was 73.9 percent, a decrease of 5.4 percentage points compared with the first quarter of 2013. The decrease in gross margin percent was primarily due to lower sales of Cymbalta following its U.S. patent expiration, and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates on international inventories sold. Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2014, defined as the sum of research and development, marketing, selling and administrative expenses, were $2.594 billion, a decrease of 14 percent compared with the first quarter of 2013. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses decreased 10 percent to $1.485 billion, due primarily to the reduction in U.S. sales and marketing activities for Cymbalta and Evista, as well as ongoing cost containment efforts. Research and development expenses decreased 18 percent to $1.109 billion, or 23.7 percent of total revenue, driven primarily by milestone payments and a charge for the discontinuation of the rheumatoid arthritis program for tabalumab, both taken in the first quarter of 2013, as well as lower clinical development costs in the first quarter of 2014. In the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, the company recognized asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges of $31.4 million and $21.7 million, respectively, primarily related to ongoing actions the company is taking to reduce its cost structure. Operating income in the first quarter of 2014 was $834.8 million, a decrease of 41 percent compared to the first quarter of 2013, driven by lower gross margin, partially offset by lower operating expenses. Other income (expense) was income of $56.0 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared with income of $529.2 million in the first quarter of 2013. The first quarter of 2013 included income of $495.4 million related to the transfer of exenatide commercial rights outside of the U.S. to Amylin. The effective tax rate was 18.3 percent in the first quarter of 2014, compared with 20.7 percent in the first quarter of 2013. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 includes a discrete tax benefit of approximately $30 million, partially offset by the negative impact of the expiration of the R&D tax credit in the U.S. at the end of 2013. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2013 reflects the tax impact of the transfer of exenatide commercial rights outside of the U.S. to Amylin, which was partially offset by the one-time impact of the R&D tax credit for the full-year 2012, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2013. In the first quarter of 2014, net income decreased 53 percent and earnings per share decreased 52 percent to $727.9 million and $0.68, respectively, compared with first-quarter 2013 net income of $1.548 billion and earnings per share of $1.42. The decreases in net income and earnings per share were driven by lower operating income and lower other income. First-Quarter 2014 non-GAAP Measures On a non-GAAP basis, first-quarter 2014 operating income decreased $577.4 million, or 40 percent, to $866.2 million, driven by lower gross margin, partially offset by lower operating expenses. The effective tax rate increased to 18.7 percent, compared with 15.5 percent in the first quarter of 2013. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 includes a discrete tax benefit of approximately $30 million, partially offset by the expiration of the R&D tax credit in the U.S. at the end of 2013, while the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2013 includes the one-time impact of the R&D tax credit for the full year of 2012, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2013. Net income decreased 40 percent and earnings per share decreased 39 percent to $749.9 million and $0.70, respectively, compared with $1.248 billion and $1.14 during the first quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP measures exclude items totaling $0.02 per share of expense in the first quarter of 2014 and $0.28 per share of income in the first quarter of 2013. For further detail, see the reconciliation below as well as the Reconciliation of GAAP Reported to Selected Non-GAAP Adjusted Information table later in this press release.
Humalog For the first quarter of 2014, worldwide Humalog sales increased 3 percent, to $650.0 million. Sales in the U.S. decreased 1 percent to $375.4 million, driven by lower net effective selling prices and wholesaler buying patterns, largely offset by increased demand. Sales outside the U.S. increased 8 percent to $274.6 million, driven primarily by increased volume, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. Alimta For the first quarter of 2014, Alimta generated sales of $632.0 million, an increase of 2 percent compared with the first quarter of 2013. U.S. sales of Alimta decreased 6 percent, to $245.8 million, driven by wholesaler buying patterns and, to a lesser extent, lower net effective selling prices. Sales outside the U.S. increased 9 percent, to $386.2 million, driven by increased volume, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. Cialis Cialis sales for the first quarter of 2014 increased 3 percent to $532.4 million. U.S. sales of Cialis were $205.3 million in the first quarter, a 4 percent decrease compared with the first quarter of 2013, driven by wholesaler buying patterns, partially offset by higher prices. Sales of Cialis outside the U.S. increased 9 percent, to $327.1 million, driven by increased volume and, to a lesser extent, higher prices, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. Cymbalta For the first quarter of 2014, Cymbalta generated $478.2 million in revenue, a decrease of 64 percent compared with the first quarter of 2013. U.S. sales of Cymbalta decreased 83 percent, to $176.0 million, due to the loss of U.S. patent exclusivity in December, 2013. Sales of Cymbalta outside the U.S. were $302.2 million, an increase of 11 percent, driven primarily by higher volume, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. Humulin Worldwide Humulin sales increased 1 percent in the first quarter of 2014, to $316.2 million. U.S. sales decreased 5 percent to $154.8 million, driven by wholesaler buying patterns and lower net effective selling prices, partially offset by increased demand. Sales outside the U.S. increased 9 percent, to $161.4 million, driven by increased volume, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. Forteo First-quarter 2014 sales of Forteo were $300.4 million, a 7 percent increase compared with the first quarter of 2013. U.S. sales of Forteo decreased 10 percent to $100.9 million, driven by wholesaler and retailer buying patterns, partially offset by higher prices. Sales outside the U.S. increased 17 percent, to $199.5 million, due to increased volume in Japan, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. Zyprexa In the first quarter of 2014, Zyprexa sales totaled $283.1 million, a decrease of 1 percent compared with the first quarter of 2013. U.S. sales of Zyprexa decreased 15 percent to $27.2 million. Zyprexa sales outside the U.S. increased 1 percent, to $255.9 million, due to higher volume, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates and, to a lesser extent, lower prices. Strattera During the first quarter of 2014, Strattera generated $154.4 million of sales, a decrease of 7 percent compared with the first quarter of 2013. U.S. sales decreased 21 percent to $83.1 million, driven primarily by lower demand and wholesaler buying patterns. Sales outside the U.S. increased 17 percent to $71.3 million, driven primarily by increased volume in Japan, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates and lower prices. Evista Evista sales for the first quarter of 2014 decreased 38 percent to $150.1 million. U.S. sales of Evista decreased 43 percent to $98.0 million, due to the loss of U.S. patent exclusivity in March, 2014. Despite a decline in demand for branded Evista, U.S. volume increased in the first quarter of 2014 as a result of sales of authorized raloxifene to Prasco. This volume increase was more than offset by significant price reductions attributable to authorized raloxifene. Sales outside the U.S. decreased 25 percent to $52.1 million, driven by lower prices and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by increased volume. Effient Effient sales were $119.3 million in the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 3 percent compared with the first quarter of 2013. U.S. Effient sales increased 5 percent to $87.8 million, driven by higher prices, partially offset by wholesaler buying patterns. Sales outside the U.S. decreased 2 percent to $31.5 million, driven by lower volume. Animal Health In the first quarter of 2014, worldwide animal health sales totaled $527.4 million, an increase of 6 percent compared with the first quarter of 2013, driven by higher prices and increased volume, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. U.S. animal health sales increased 4 percent, to $307.6 million, driven primarily by higher prices of companion animal products. U.S. volume increases for food animal products were offset by volume declines for companion animal products. Animal health sales outside the U.S. were $219.8 million, an 8 percent increase, driven primarily by higher volume for food animal products and, to a lesser extent, higher prices, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. 2014 Financial Guidance The company has revised certain elements of its 2014 financial guidance. Full-year 2014 earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $2.70 to $2.78 on a reported basis. On a non-GAAP basis, full-year 2014 earnings per share are still expected to be in the range of $2.72 to $2.80.
The company has updated specific line-items of its 2014 financial guidance to reflect the impact of the Lohmann acquisition, as well as movements in foreign exchange rates and the discrete tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2014. The company now anticipates 2014 revenue of between $19.4 billion and $20.0 billion. As described in the company's initial guidance, patent expirations are expected to drive a rapid and severe decline in U.S. Cymbalta and U.S. Evista sales. These revenue declines are expected to be partially offset by growth from a portfolio of other products including Humalog, Trajenta®, Cialis, Forteo and Alimta, as well as the animal health business. In addition, strong revenue growth is expected in China, while a weaker Japanese yen will dampen revenue growth in Japan. The company now anticipates that gross margin as a percent of revenue will be approximately 73 percent in 2014. Total operating expenses in 2014 are expected to decrease substantially compared to 2013. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses are now expected in the range of $6.3 billion to $6.6 billion. Research and development expenses are still expected to be in the range of $4.4 billion to $4.7 billion. Other income (expense) is still expected to be in a range between $100 million and $200 million of income in 2014, benefited by gains of $150 million to $200 million on the sale of equity investments acquired as part of past business development transactions. The 2014 tax rate is now expected to be approximately 19 percent, assuming a full-year 2014 benefit of the R&D tax credit and other tax provisions up for extension. If these items are not extended, the 2014 tax rate would be approximately 2 percentage points higher. The company now expects 2014 net income to be at least $2.9 billion and still expects operating cash flow to be at least $4.0 billion. Operating cash flows are still expected to be sufficient to pay the company's dividend of approximately $2.1 billion, allow for capital expenditures of approximately $1.3 billion, and fund certain business development activity and share repurchases. The company's 2014 financial guidance assumes that the acquisition of Novartis Animal Health does not close during this calendar year. Should the acquisition close during 2014, the company will revise its 2014 financial guidance, if necessary.
