(a)	Adjustments to GAAP reported net loss to arrive at adjusted net income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, included the following:

	(1)	Adjustments of $202 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, primarily represented $155 million of charges associated with our 2025 Restructuring Plan and a $47 million impairment of a marketed product intangible asset due to a decline in future projected sales of a product group acquired in a past acquisition.

	(2)	Adjustments of $33 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, principally included $20 million of refinancing costs associated with our October 2025 debt refinancing, including the write-off of previously deferred debt issuance costs and $13 million of imputed interest on our liability for sale of future revenue.

	(3)	Adjustments of $11 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily consisted of an $8 million write-down of the retained equity interest in our previously divested BiomEdit R&D platform and the impact of hyperinflationary accounting in Turkey.

	(4)	Adjustments of $26 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 primarily represented the income tax expense associated with the adjusted items discussed above, partially offset by an $18 million decrease in the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. Adjustments of $69 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, represent the income tax expense associated with the adjusted items discussed above, partially offset by an $81 million increase in the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets during the period.

	(5)	During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we reported a GAAP net loss and thus, potential dilutive common shares were not assumed to have been issued since their effect was anti-dilutive. During the same periods, we reported non-GAAP net income. As a result, potential dilutive common shares would not have had an anti-dilutive effect, and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for purposes of calculating adjusted EPS include 8.6 million and 4.0 million, respectively, of common stock equivalents.

(a)	Adjustments to GAAP reported net (loss) income to arrive at adjusted net income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, included the following:

	(1)	Adjustments of $237 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily included $155 million of charges associated with the 2025 Restructuring Plan, a $47 million impairment of a marketed product intangible asset due to a decline in future projected sales of a product group acquired in a past acquisition, and $16 million of impairment charges related to two early-stage capital projects that were indefinitely suspended. Adjustments of $150 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, principally included impairment charges of $53 million related to an IPR&D asset and $15 million tied to the financial difficulties of a former contract manufacturing supply partner, $44 million of costs associated with our 2024 Restructuring Plan and $18 million of transaction costs related to the sale of our aqua business.

	(2)	Adjustments of $61 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, were primarily comprised of $20 million of refinancing costs associated with our October 2025 debt refinancing, including the write-off of previously deferred debt issuance costs and $33 million of imputed interest on our liability for sale of future revenue. Adjustments of $12 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, were attributable to the write-off of previously deferred debt issuance costs associated with our Term Loan debt, given accelerated principal repayments made in 2024.

	(3)	Adjustments of $15 million in 2024 primarily consisted of an $8 million write-down of the retained equity interest in our previously divested BiomEdit R&D platform and the impact of hyperinflationary accounting in Turkey.

	(4)	Adjustments of $124 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily represented the income tax expense associated with the adjusted items discussed above, and to a lesser extent, $11 million of discrete tax impacts from the remeasurement of certain deferred tax positions due to foreign tax rate changes. These adjustments were partially offset by $42 million of discrete tax impacts primarily related to a worthless stock deduction during the first quarter of 2025 and an $18 million decrease in the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. Adjustments of $50 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, represent the income tax expense associated with the gain on divestiture of our aqua business ($170 million), offset by the income tax effects associated with the other adjusted items reflected above and a decrease in the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets during the period ($77 million).

	(5)	During the year ended December 31, 2025, we reported a GAAP net loss and thus, potential dilutive common shares were not assumed to have been issued since their effect was anti-dilutive. During the same period, we reported non-GAAP net income. As a result, potential dilutive common shares would not have had an anti-dilutive effect, and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for purposes of calculating adjusted EPS include 6.0 million of common stock equivalents.

Financial Highlights

Fourth Quarter Results

In the fourth quarter of 2025, revenue was $1,144 million, an increase of 12% on a reported basis and a 9% increase on an organic constant currency basis, compared with the fourth quarter of 2024.

revenue was $489 million, an increase of 11% on a reported basis and a 9% increase on an organic constant currency basis, with a 1% increase from price in the quarter. The year over year increase in the fourth quarter was primarily driven by new products, including Credelio Quattro and Zenrelia. The Advantage® Family of products and Seresto contributed revenue of $84 million and $52 million, respectively.Pet Health

revenue was $640 million, a 12% increase on a reported basis and a 10% increase on an organic constant currency basis. In addition to a 2% contribution from price in the fourth quarter of 2025, growth was also driven by increased volumes across cattle and poultry, led by Experior in U.S. cattle and strength in U.S. and European poultry sales.Farm Animal

Gross profit was $589 million, or 51.5% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025. Gross profit as a percent of revenue increased 60 basis points, primarily driven by price, increased sales volumes, and mix benefits, which were partially offset by higher manufacturing costs. On an adjusted basis, gross profit was $581 million and gross margin percentage was 51.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025, a 30 basis point increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

Total operating expenses were $431 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, a 13% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased 13% to $338 million, driven by investments to support the company's expanding pet health business and people related expenses. Research and development expenses increased 15% to $93 million driven by pipeline investments.

Asset impairment, restructuring, and other special charges were $202 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The company recorded $155 million of charges in the fourth quarter of 2025 associated with our recently announced restructuring plan, of which $116 million related to expected cash-based severance costs and $39 million related primarily to non-cash impairment charges associated with facilities the company plans to exit in Monheim, Germany, and Kansas City, Kansas. The company also recorded a $47 million impairment of a marketed product intangible asset during the fourth quarter of 2025 due to a decline in projected sales of a product group acquired in a past acquisition.

Net interest expense was $80 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 74% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily driven by $20 million related to refinancing costs and the write-off of previously deferred debt issuance costs and $13 million of imputed interest on the company's liability related to the lotilaner U.S. royalty monetization. Adjusted net interest expense, which excludes these two items, was $47 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of $1 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. As of September 30, 2025, the interest benefits being amortized from past interest rate swap settlements were fully realized, resulting in increased interest expense that was mostly offset by the impact of lower outstanding debt balances.

Other income was $4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 on a reported basis, driven by foreign currency gains, compared to other expense of $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, which was driven by foreign currency losses and the impairment of a previously divested R&D platform.

The reported effective tax rate was (6.5)% in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 84.5% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The adjusted effective tax rate was 39.9% in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to 26.2% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $276 million, or $0.56 per diluted share on a reported basis, compared with a net loss of $8 million and $0.02 per diluted share for the same period in 2024. On an adjusted basis, net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $64 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, as compared to $72 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA was $189 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.7%, compared with 17.4% for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Working Capital and Balance Sheet

Cash provided by operations was $108 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $177 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in cash from operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 reflects expected cash tax payments primarily related to the 2024 divestiture of the Aqua business partially offset by improvements in net working capital.

As of December 31, 2025, Elanco's net leverage ratio was 3.6x adjusted EBITDA, a reduction of 0.1x to September 30, 2025.

Financial Guidance

Elanco is providing financial guidance for the full year 2026, summarized in the following table, subject to the assumptions described below:

For the full year, the company expects a $55 million tailwind from foreign exchange rates compared to prior year. Excluding the impacts of foreign exchange rates and royalty revenue sold to a third party, the company expects revenue growth of 4% to 6%. Guidance includes an accelerating contribution from price compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA guidance reflects savings from the Elanco Ascend initiative as well as incremental strategic investment in the global launches of the company's innovation portfolio and advancement of the R&D pipeline.

"We are entering 2026 with positive momentum, and strong confidence in our IPP strategy to drive continued execution and value creation," said Bob VanHimbergen, Executive Vice President and CFO of Elanco. "Our full-year outlook is balanced and consistent with the framework provided at our December Investor Day. We anticipate sustainable, competitive revenue growth as our innovation portfolio scales globally, on top of a stabilizing base. This innovation, combined with strategic pricing, helps to insulate us from broader macro pressures. Elanco Ascend, our productivity initiative, is on track to enable adjusted EBITDA margin expansion starting this year. We expect accelerating free cash flow over the next three years to further strengthen our balance sheet and improve our net leverage ratio."

In the first quarter, the company expects a $40 million tailwind from foreign exchange rates compared to prior year. Excluding the impacts of foreign exchange rates and royalty revenue sold to a third party, the company expects 4% to 6% revenue growth. The company expects operating expenses up 7% year over year (4% in constant currency) including strategic investment in the global launches of the innovation portfolio.

The 2026 full year and first quarter financial guidance reflects foreign exchange rates as of earlier this month. 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.

A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin guidance, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not provided because comparable GAAP measures for such measures are not reasonably accessible or reliable due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying measures that would be necessary for such reconciliation. Namely, Elanco is not, without unreasonable effort, able to reliably predict the impact of net interest expense; income tax expense/benefit; depreciation and amortization charges; asset impairment, restructure and other special charges; sold royalty revenue; and other adjustments. In addition, Elanco believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and may have a material impact on future GAAP results. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

WEBCAST & CONFERENCE CALL DETAILS

Elanco will host a webcast and conference call at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time today, during which company executives will review fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial and operational results, provide financial guidance for the full year and first quarter of 2026, and respond to questions from analysts.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including, without limitation, statements concerning product launches and revenue from such products, our 2026 full year and first quarter guidance and long-term expectations, our expectations regarding debt levels, and expectations regarding our industry and our operations, performance and financial condition, and including, in particular, statements relating to our business, growth strategies, distribution strategies, product development efforts and future expenses.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions, including but not limited to the following:

For additional information about the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements, please see the company's latest Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. If any of these risks materialize, or if any of the above assumptions underlying forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results and developments may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. We caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere in this press release. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release speaks only as of the date thereof. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or to revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should be viewed as historical data.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

We use non-GAAP financial measures, such as revenue growth excluding the impact of divestitures, foreign exchange rate effects and royalty revenue sold to a third party; EBITDA; 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 atwww.elanco.com

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.

Additional Information

We define innovation revenue as revenue from new products, lifecycle management and certain geographic expansions and business development transactions that is incremental in reference to product revenue in 2020 and does not include the expected impact of cannibalization on the base portfolio.

We define organic constant currency revenue growth as revenue growth excluding the impacts from our prior year divestiture of the aqua business, which was divested on July 9, 2024, royalty revenue that was sold to a third party and the impact of foreign exchange rates.

Elanco Animal Health Incorporated

Reconciliation of GAAP Reported to Selected Non-GAAP Adjusted Information

(Unaudited)

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share data)

We use non-GAAP financial measures, such as organic constant currency revenue growth, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin percentage, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin and net debt and net debt leverage, that differ from financial measures reported in conformity with GAAP. 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 months and years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, to adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin percentage:

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 as adjusted net income divided by the number of weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the applicable period. The following is a reconciliation of GAAP reported loss and EPS for three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, to adjusted net income and EPS:

The following is a reconciliation of GAAP reported net (loss) income and EPS for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, to adjusted net income and EPS:

The table above reflects only line items with non-GAAP adjustments. Numbers may not add due to rounding.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense (income), which includes debt financing charges 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 (loss) income for the three months and years ended December 31, 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:

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 covenant-related adjustments that reduce our net leverage ratio. The following is a reconciliation of gross debt to net debt as of December 31, 2025:

The following table presents a calculation of our net leverage ratio as of December 31, 2025:
