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:
heightened competition, including from new innovation or generics;
the impact of disruptive innovations and advances in veterinary medical practices, animal health technologies and alternatives to animal-derived protein;

unanticipated safety, quality or efficacy concerns and the impact of identified concerns associated with our products;

See “Risk Factors,” of the transactions involving the separationPart I of our business from that of Eli Lilly & Co. (Lilly) and distribution of Lilly's interest in us to its shareholders, if consummated.
See "Risk Factors" inAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the final prospectus relating to our initial public offeringyear ended December 31, 2020 filed on September 21, 2018 with the SECSecurities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a further description of these and other factors. 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 quarterly report. 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 quarterly report. For the reasons described above, 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 quarterly report. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this quarterly report speaks only as of the date hereof. 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.

The disposition of Elanco Parent has paid, or will pay, toshares by Lilly approximately $4.2 billion,was completed in March 2019, which includesresulted in the net proceeds from the IPO, the net proceeds from the debt offering completed by Elanco Parent in August 2018 and the term loan facility entered into by Elanco Parent in September 2018 (see Note 8). Asfull separation of September 30, 2018, Elanco Parent has paid Lilly $3.6 billion. These transactions are collectively referred to herein as the Separation.Elanco.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements in accordance with the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requirements offor interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our consolidated and therefore, they do not include all informationcombined financial statements and footnotes necessaryaccompanying notes for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flowsthe year ended December 31, 2020 included in conformityour Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). SEC on March 1, 2021.

In our opinion, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (including those that are normal and recurring) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made
The significant accounting policies set forth in Note 4 to prior periods in the unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements and accompanying notes to conform with current presentation. In addition, during the period ended September 30, 2018, certain combined balance sheet amounts related to the prior year have been revised to correct the sales rebates and discounts liability, which did not correctly reflect an accrual for rebates related to product held in the wholesalers' pipeline.  In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality, and Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 250, Presentation of Financial Statements, we assessed the materiality of this correction and concluded that the accrual for the rebate related to product held in the wholesalers' pipeline was not material to prior periods, and therefore, amendments of previously filed reports are not required.
As such, in accordance with ASC 250, we revised the previously reported combined balance sheet and combined statements of equity. The adjustment, which originates in periods prior to those presented, resulted in a  $10.5 million increase as of December 31, 2017 in the accrual for sales rebates and discounts of $155.0 million, total current liabilities of $632.6 million and total liabilities of $1,149.5 million. In addition, previously reported amounts at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 of net parent company investment of $8,047.4 million and $7,484.8 million, respectively, and total equity of $7,790.8 million and $7,027.9 million, respectively, have been reduced by $10.5 million to reflect the correction above.  
The information included in this Quarterlyour Annual Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our combined financial statements and accompanying notes as of and10-K for the three yearsyear ended December 31, 2017 included2020 appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of our final prospectus relating to our IPO filed on September 21 2018 (IPO Prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
For the periods after Separation, the financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis. For periods prioraccounting policies, except as it relates to the Separation, our financial statements are combined, have been prepared on a standalone basis, and are derived from Lilly's consolidated financial statements and accounting records. The unaudited condensed combined financial


statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows related to the animal health businesses that were transferred to Elanco Parent and are prepared in conformity with GAAP.
The unaudited condensed combined financial statements include the attribution of certain assets and liabilities that historically have been held at the Lilly corporate level but which are specifically identifiable or attributable to the businesses that have been transferred to Elanco Parent. All intercompany transactions and accounts within Elanco have been eliminated. All transactions between us and Lilly are considered to be effectively settled in the unaudited condensed combined financial statements at the time the intercompany transaction is recorded. The total net effectadoption of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the unaudited condensed combined statements of cash flows as a financing activity and in the condensed combined balance sheets as net parent company investment.
These unaudited condensed combined financial statements include an allocation of expenses related to certain Lilly corporate functions, including executive oversight, treasury, legal, finance, human resources, tax, internal audit, financial reporting, information technology and investor relations. These expenses have been allocated to us based on direct usage or benefit where specifically identifiable, with the remainder allocated primarily on a pro rata basis of revenue, headcount and other measures. We consider the expenses methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, the allocations may not be indicative of the actual expensestandard that would have been incurred had we operated as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented. It is impractical to estimate what the standalone costs of Elanco would have been in the historical periods.
The income tax amounts in the unaudited condensed combined financial statements have been calculated based on a separate return methodology and presented as if our operations were separate taxpayers in the respective jurisdictions. We file income tax returns in the United States (U.S.) federal jurisdiction and various state, local and non-U.S. jurisdictions. Certain of these income tax returns are filed on a consolidated or combined basis with Eli Lilly and Company and/or its subsidiaries.
Lilly maintains various benefit and combined stock-based compensation plans at a corporate level and other benefit plans at a country level. Our employees participate in such programs and the portion of the cost of those plans related to our employees is included in our financial statements. However, the condensed combined balance sheets do not include any equity issued related to stock-based compensation plans or any net benefit plan obligations unless the benefit plan covers only our dedicated employees or where the legal obligation associated with the benefit plan will transfer to Elanco.
Prior to Separation, the equity balance in the unaudited condensed combined financial statements represents the excess of total assets over liabilities, including intercompany balances between us and Lilly (net parent company investment) and accumulated other comprehensive loss. Net parent company investment is primarily impacted by contributions from Lilly which are the result of treasury activities and net funding provided by or distributed to Lilly. See Note 14 for further information.
Note 3. Impact of Separation
In connection with the Separation, we issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes in a private placement, and we also entered into a $750.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and $500.0 million senior unsecured term credit facility. See Note 8 for further information.
In connection with the Separation, we entered into various agreements with Lilly, including a master separation agreement. In connection with the terms of the Separation, there were certain assets and liabilities included in the pre-Separation balance sheet that were retained by Lilly and there were certain assets not included in the pre-Separation balance sheet that were transferred to us. The cumulative adjustment to the historical balance sheet increased net assets and total equity by approximately $58.3 million. The impact on net assets primarily represent the elimination of certain income tax assets and liabilities and the contribution of additional fixed assets.
After Separation, Lilly owns approximately 80.2% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Lilly has informed us that it may make a tax-free distribution to its shareholders of all or a portion of its remaining equity interest, which may include one or more distributions effected as a dividend to all Lilly shareholders, one or more distributions in exchange for Lilly shares or other securities, or any combination thereof. Lilly does not have any obligation to pursue or consummate any further dispositions of its ownership interest in us by any specified date or at all. In connection with the Separation, we will continue to have certain ongoing relationships with Lillywas effective January 1, 2021 as described in Note 14.2: Implementation of New Financial Accounting Pronouncements.


On August 1, 2020, we completed the previously announced acquisition of Bayer Animal Health. See Note 4: Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.



Note 4.2. Implementation of New Financial Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of an accounting standardsstandard that werewas effective January 1, 20182021 and werewas adopted on that date:
StandardDescriptionEffect on the financial statements or other significant matters
Accounting Standards Update 2014-09(ASU) 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
The amendments in this update include simplifications related to accounting for income taxes including removing certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation and various other related updates, Revenue from Contracts with CustomersThisthe recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The standard replaced existing revenue recognition standards and requires entities to recognize revenue to depictalso clarifies the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amountaccounting for transactions that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity can apply the new revenue standard retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in retained earnings. We applied the latter approach.Application of the new standard to applicable contracts had no impact to net parent company investment as of January 1, 2018. Disclosures required by the new standard are included in Note 5.
Accounting Standards Update 2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory
This standard requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory at the time of transfer. This standard requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption.Upon adoption, the cumulative effect of applying the standard resulted in a decrease to net parent company investment of approximately $0.3 million. Adoption of this standard did not result in a material change in net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Accounting Standards Update 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost
This standard was issued to improve the transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring entities to separate their net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost into a service cost component and other components. Previously, the costs of the other components along with the service cost component were classified based upon the function of the employee. This standard requires entities to classify the service cost componentstep-up in the same financial statement line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by pertinent employees. The other componentstax basis of net benefit cost are now presented separately from the line items that include the service cost component. When applicable, the service cost component is now the only component eligible for capitalization. An entity should apply the new standard retrospectively for the classification of the service cost and other components and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component.goodwill.UponThe adoption of this standard, pension and postretirement benefit cost components other than service costs are presented in other–net, (income) expense. Retrospective application wasguidance did not material to the combined statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. We do not expect application of the new standard to have a material impact on an ongoing basis.our consolidated financial statements.

elan-20210331_g1.jpg


The following table provides a brief description of thean accounting standard that is applicable to us but has not yet been adopted and could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements:
adopted:
StandardDescriptionEffective DateEffect on the financial statements or other significant matters
Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, LeasesASU 2020-04, Reference rate reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting; ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope
This standard was issuedASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to increase transparencycontracts, hedging relationships, and comparability among organizationsother transactions affected by recognizing lease assetsreference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2021-01 clarifies the scope of Topic 848 so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and lease liabilities, including leases classifiedexceptions.These standards were effective as operating leases under current GAAP,of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and adoption is permitted at any time during the period on the balance sheet and requiring additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. An entity can apply the new leases standard retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in retained earnings. We plan to use the latter approach.a prospective basis.This standard is effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We intend to adopt this standard on that date.We are currently in the process of determiningevaluating the impact of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) on our existing contracts and may elect optional expedients in future periods as reference rate reform activities occur. We do not expect that these updates will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We have selected a software solution to be compatible with our enterprise software system. Development of our selected solution is ongoing, as it is not yet fully compliant with the requirements of the standard. The timely readiness of the lease software system is critical to ensure an efficient and effective adoption of the standard.

Note 5.3. Revenue
Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09) and other related updates.
Our sales rebates are based on specific agreements. The new standard has been applied to contracts for which performance had not been completed as of the date of adoption. Revenue presented for periods prior to 2018 were accounted for under previous standards and has not been adjusted. Revenue and net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 do not differ materially from amounts that would have resulted from application of the previous standards.
Product Sales
We recognize revenue primarily from product sales to customers. Revenue from sales of products is recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and we satisfy our performance obligation, which generally is at the time we ship the product to the customer. Payment terms differ by jurisdiction and customer, but payment terms in most of our major jurisdictions typically range from 30 to 100 days from date of shipment. Revenue for our product sales has not been adjusted for the effects of a financing component as we expect, at contract inception, that the period between when we transfer control of the product and when we receive payment will be one year or less. Any exceptions are either not material or we collect interest for payments made after the due date. Provisions for rebates and discounts, and returns are established in the same period the related sales are recognized. We generally, ship product shortly after orders are received; therefore, we generally only have a few days of orders received but not yet shipped at the end of any reporting period. Shipping and handling activities are considered to be fulfillment activities and are not considered to be a separate performance obligation. We exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on our sales of product and collected from a customer.
Significant judgments must be made in determining the transaction price for sales of products related to anticipated rebates and discounts, and returns. The following describe the most significant of these judgments:
Sales Rebatesour sales rebate programs in terms of accrual and Discounts - Background and Uncertainties
Mostpayment amounts, percentage of our products that are sold to wholesale distributors. We initially invoice our customers contractual list prices. Contracts with directvia these programs, and indirect customers may provide for various rebates and discounts that may differlevel of judgment required in each contract. As a consequence, to determineestimating the appropriate transaction price, forrelate to our product sales at the time we recognize a sale to a direct customer, we must estimate any rebates or discounts that ultimately will be due to the direct customer and other customersprograms in the distribution chain under the terms of our contracts. Significant judgments are required in making these estimates.
The rebate and discount amounts are recorded as a deduction to arrive at our net product sales. We estimate these accruals using an expected value approach.
In determining the appropriate accrual amount, we consider our historical experience with similar incentives programs and current sales data to estimate the impact of such programs on revenue and continually monitor the impact of this experience and adjust as necessary. Although we accrue a liability for rebates related to these


programs at the time the sale is recorded, the rebate related to that sale is typically paid up to six months after rebate or incentive period expires. Because of this time lag, in any particular period rebate adjustments may incorporate revisions of accruals for several periods.
Our sales rebates and discounts are based on specific agreementsU.S., France and the majority relate to sales in the U.S.United Kingdom (U.K.). As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2021 and 2017,2020, the aggregate liability for sales rebates for these countries represented approximately 76% and discounts in the U.S. represents approximately 70% and 71%82%, respectively, of our total liability with the next largest country representing approximately 8%4% and 6%, respectively, of our total liability.

The following table summarizes the activity in the sales rebates and discounts liability in the U.S., France, and the U.K.:

Adjustments to revenue recognized as a result of changes in estimates for the judgments described above during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2021 and 2020 for product shipped in previous periods were not material.
Sales Returns - Background and Uncertainties
We estimate a reserve for futureActual global product returns related to product sales using an expected value approach. This estimate is based on several factors, including: local returns policieswere approximately 1% and practices; returns as a percentage of revenue; an understanding of the reasons for past returns; estimated shelf life by product; and estimate of the amount of time between shipment and return. Adjustments to the returns reserve have been and may in the future be required based on revised estimates to our assumptions, which would have an impact on our consolidated results of operations. We record the return amounts as a deduction to arrive at our net product sales.
Actual product returns have been approximately 1%2% of net revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2021 and 2017 and have not fluctuated significantly as a percentage of revenue.2020, respectively.

Disaggregation of Revenue

In the first quarter of 2021, management revisited how it analyzes revenue, both internally and externally, and determined that disaggregation by major product line provides a more meaningful view of our results. Accordingly, we updated our disaggregated revenue presentation from the previous five categories (i.e., pet health disease prevention, pet health therapeutics, farm animal future protein & health, farm animal ruminants & swine, and contract manufacturing) to the following:
Three Months Ended March 31,

Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Bayer Animal Health Acquisition

On August 1, 2020, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Bayer Animal Health, a provider of products intended to improve the health and well-being of pets and farm animals, in a cash and stock transaction. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The determination of estimated fair value requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets, where applicable, has been recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of Bayer Animal Health are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The acquisition has expanded our pet health product category, advancing our planned portfolio mix transformation and creating a better balance between our farm animal and pet health product categories. Our existing product portfolio and pipeline have been enhanced by the addition of Bayer Animal Health, which complements our commercial operations and international infrastructure while expanding our direct to retailer/e-commerce presence.
Total consideration transferred to Bayer and its subsidiaries for the acquisition is summarized as follows:
Cash consideration (1)
$5,058 
Fair value of Elanco common stock (2)
1,724 
Fair value of total consideration transferred (3)
$6,782 

(1)Includes initial cash consideration of $5,170 million less working capital and tax adjustments of $112 million.
(2)Represents the acquisition date fair value of 73 million shares of Elanco common stock at $23.64 per share. Per the terms of the stock and asset purchase agreement, the number of shares was based on approximately $2.3 billion divided by the 20-day volume-weighted average stock price as of the last day of trading before the closing of the acquisition (but subject to a 7.5% symmetrical collar centered on the baseline share number of approximately $2.3 billion divided by an initial share price of $33.60).
(3)The purchase price is preliminary and subject to certain minor customary purchase price adjustments.

We recognized transaction costs related to the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health of $3 million and $20 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These costs were primarily associated with financial advisory, legal and other professional services related to the acquisition and are reflected within asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The amount of revenue attributable to Bayer Animal Health included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is $559 million. Based on our current operational structure,
2021 Q1 Form 10-Q | 12
elan-20210331_g1.jpg


we have not recorded standalone costs for Bayer Animal Health after the date of the acquisition. As a result, we are unable to accurately determine earnings or loss attributable to Bayer Animal Health since the date of acquisition.

The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized as of March 31, 2021. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change, including the valuation of inventories, property and equipment, intangible assets, income taxes and goodwill, among other items. The amounts recognized will be finalized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained, but no later than one year after the acquisition date. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded immaterial measurement period adjustments which were made to reflect the facts and circumstances in existence as of the acquisition date. These adjustments primarily related to changes in inventory balances and gross margin assumptions as well as minor working capital adjustments. The fair values in the table below have been updated to reflect these measurement period adjustments. Finalization of the valuation during the measurement period could result in additional changes in the amounts recorded for the acquisition date fair value.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

Estimated Fair Value at August 1, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents$169 
Accounts receivable
Inventories487 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets57 
Property and equipment347 
Intangible assets:

Accrued retirement benefits(217)
Other noncurrent assets and liabilities, net(894)
Total identifiable net assets3,851 
Goodwill2,931 
Total consideration transferred$6,782 

Inventories comprised of $314 million, $79 million, $94 million in finished products, work in process, and raw materials, respectively. The preliminary estimate of fair value of finished products was determined based on net realizable value adjusted for the costs to complete the sales process, a reasonable profit allowance from the sales process, and estimated holding costs. The preliminary estimate of fair value of work in process was determined based on net realizable value adjusted for costs to complete the manufacturing process, costs of the sales process, a reasonable profit allowance for the remaining manufacturing and sales process effort, and an estimate of holding costs. The fair value of raw materials was determined to approximate book value. The net fair value step-up adjustment to inventories of $148 million has been amortized to cost of sales as the inventory is sold to customers. As of March 31, 2021, the fair value step-up adjustment has been fully amortized.

Property and equipment is mostly composed of land, buildings, equipment (including machinery, furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment), and construction in progress. The preliminary estimate of fair value of real property was determined using the sales comparison data valuation technique and the preliminary estimate of fair value of personal property was determined using the direct replacement cost method. The recorded fair value of property and equipment located at the Shawnee, Kansas site is currently equal to its net book value at the time of the acquisition, as we are in the process of gathering information to finalize our revenue disaggregated by product category:fair value assessment.

Intangible assets relate to $65 million of in-process research and development (IPR&D) and $3,930 million of marketed products. The acquired definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over a weighted-average

estimated useful life of approximately 10 years on a straight-line basis. The estimated fair values of identifiable intangible assets were determined using the "income approach," which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the significant assumptions inherent in the development of these asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset or product (including revenues, cost of sales, R&D expenses, marketing, selling and administrative expenses, and contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate necessary to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the life cycle of each asset, the potential regulatory and commercial success risk, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream, as well as other factors. The fair value of intangible assets as of March 31, 2021 is based on preliminary assumptions which are subject to change as we complete our valuation procedures.
Assets held for sale include $133 million of intangible assets, consisting of marketed products and IPR&D, and $5 million of inventory related to the divestitures of Drontal™, Profender™ and other products. In order to secure the necessary regulatory clearances for the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health, we signed agreements to divest the rights to the Drontal and Profender product families within the United Kingdom and European Economic Area as well as other IPR&D. We completed the transactions, which were accounted for as asset divestitures, in the third quarter of 2020.

Accrued retirement benefits primarily relate to certain Bayer Animal Health international subsidiaries that have underfunded defined benefit pension plans. We have recorded the fair value of these plans using assumptions and accounting policies similar to those disclosed in Note 19: Retirement Benefits to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Upon acquisition, the excess of projected benefit obligation over the fair value of plan assets was recognized as a liability and previously existing deferred actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized service costs or benefits were eliminated.

The goodwill recognized from this acquisition represents the value of additional growth platforms and an expanded revenue base as well as anticipated operational synergies and cost savings from the creation of a single combined global organization. The majority of goodwill associated with this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

Pro forma financial information (unaudited)

The following table presents the estimated unaudited pro forma combined results of Elanco and Bayer Animal Health for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as if the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health had occurred on January 1, 2020:

Revenue$1,170 
Loss before income taxes(67)

The supplemental pro forma financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and is based on the historical financial information of Elanco and Bayer Animal Health. The supplemental pro forma financial information does not necessarily represent what the combined companies' revenue or results of operations would have been had the acquisition been completed on January 1, 2020, nor is it intended to be a projection of future operating results of the combined company. It also does not reflect any operating efficiencies or potential cost savings that might be achieved from synergies of combining Elanco and Bayer Animal Health.

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information reflects primarily pro forma adjustments related to divestitures, fair value estimates for intangibles and inventory, and interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs for the debt issuance to finance the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information includes transaction charges associated with the acquisition. There are no material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the acquisition included in the reported pro forma revenue and loss before income taxes.

Divestitures and Assets Held For Sale

In connection with advancing our efforts to secure the necessary regulatory clearances for our acquisition of Bayer Animal Health, we signed agreements in 2020 to divest the rights to manufacture and commercialize certain products, including currently marketed products and certain IPR&D assets. As part of those transactions, we signed an agreement to divest the worldwide rights to the legacy Elanco products Itrafungol™ and Clomicalm™ in connection with the required disposal of an early-stage IPR&D asset. We also made a payment during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and accrued for future amounts we are required to pay to the buyer of the IPR&D asset to help fund their development costs for a set period of time. The related assets met the assets held for sale criteria as of December 31, 2020. The divestiture closed during the three months ended March 31, 2021. There were no proceeds received from the disposition of these assets and the resulting immaterial impact was recorded in other expense, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Assets and liabilities considered held for sale in connection with the above divestiture were included in the respective line items on the consolidated balance sheet as follows:

We
In recent years, we have historically participatedincurred substantial costs associated with restructuring programs and cost-reduction initiatives designed to achieve a flexible and competitive cost structure. Restructuring activities primarily include charges associated with facility rationalization and workforce reductions. In connection with our recent acquisitions, including the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health, we have also incurred costs associated with executing transactions and integrating acquired operations, which may include expenditures for banking, legal, accounting, and other similar services. In addition, we have incurred costs to stand up our organization as an independent company. All operating functions can be impacted by these actions; therefore, non-cash expenses associated with our tangible and intangible assets can be incurred as a result of revised fair value projections and/or determinations to no longer utilize certain assets in Lilly's cost-reduction initiatives. Our total charges relatedthe business on an ongoing basis.

For finite-lived intangible asset and other long-lived assets, whenever impairment indicators are present, we calculate the undiscounted value of projected cash flows associated with the asset, or group of assets, and compare it to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount is greater, we record an impairment loss for the excess of book value over fair value. Determinations of fair value can result from a complex series of judgments and rely on estimates and assumptions. See Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for discussion regarding estimates and assumptions.

These costs were partially offset by the reversal of severance accruals under the September 2020 program that are no longer needed. See below for further details.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, these charges primarily relate to the announced 2019 program to streamline operations in Speke, England as well as the remaining costs to close the Larchwood, Iowa facility.
(2)Transaction costs represent external costs directly related to acquiring businesses and primarily include expenditures for banking, legal, accounting and other similar services. Integration costs represent internal and external incremental costs directly related to integrating acquired businesses, inincluding the unaudited condensed consolidatedacquisition of Bayer Animal Health (e.g., expenditures for consulting, system and combined statements of operations consisted of the following:

(4)Asset write-down expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 resulted from adjustments recorded to write assets classified as held and used down to their current fair value. These included charges related to fixed assets in Basel, Switzerland; Cuxhaven, Germany; and Manukau, New Zealand in connection with announced restructuring programs.
Asset impairment recognized duringwrite-down expenses for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2020 resulted from $19.9 million of intangible asset impairmentsadjustments recorded to write assets classified as held and $44.0 million of fixed asset impairments. The intangible asset impairmentsused down to their current fair value. These charges primarily related to revised projections of fair value due to product rationalization. The fixed asset impairments were primarily due to the decision to dispose of a manufacturing facility in the U.S. and to the suspension of commercial activities for Imrestor®.
Asset impairment recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 resulted primarily from intangible asset impairments related to revised projections of fair value due to product rationalization and to a lessor extent competitive pressures. The fair value measurements utilized to determine the intangible asset impairments in 2018 and 2017 represent Level 3 fair value measurements.

(6)As a site that was previously closedresult of workforce reductions in connection with our September 2020 and January 2021 restructuring programs, we remeasured the impacted pension benefit obligations as of March 31, 2021, which resulted in a curtailment gain. See Note 13: Retirement Benefits for further information. This amount also includes the gain recorded on the divestiture of an early-stage IPR&D asset acquired as part of the Bayer Animal Health acquisition.

In January 2021, we announced a restructuring aligned with our ongoing efforts to improve operating efficiencies. The proposed actions are focused on streamlining processes and delivering increased efficiency in functional areas, while improving the productivity of our investments in innovation. As part of the restructuring plan, we intend to close R&D sites in Manukau, New Zealand and Cuxhaven, Germany. We will also reduce duplication and optimize structures in U.S. operations, marketing, manufacturing and quality central functions, and administrative areas. The restructuring will result in the elimination of approximately 330 positions around the world. Charges related to this initiative were approximately $41 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The overall project is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2021.

In September 2020, following the closing of the Bayer Animal Health acquisition, we implemented a restructuring program designed to reduce duplication, drive efficiency and integrationoptimize our footprint in key geographies. As part of Novartis Animal Health.the restructuring plan, we have eliminated approximately 900 positions across 40 countries, primarily in the commercial and marketing functions, but also in R&D, manufacturing and quality, and back office support functions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 we recorded a favorable adjustment of $13 million as a change in estimate related to this initiative, which reflects adjustments to severance accruals resulting from favorable negotiations and certain restructured employees filling open positions. The overall project is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2021.

Tangible Equity Unit (TEU) Offering

On January 22, 2020, we also completed our offering of 11 million, 5.00% TEUs. Total proceeds, net of issuance costs, were $528 million. Each TEU, which has a stated amount of $50, is comprised of a prepaid stock purchase contract (prepaid stock) and a senior amortizing note due February 1, 2023. Subsequent to issuance, each TEU may be legally separated into the ninetwo components. The prepaid stock is considered a freestanding financial instrument, indexed to Elanco common stock, and meets the conditions for equity classification.

The value allocated to the prepaid stock is reflected net of issuance costs in additional paid-in capital. The value allocated to the senior amortizing notes is reflected in long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet, with payments expected in the next twelve months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized $38.6 millionreflected in current portion of inventory write-offs in cost of sales primarilylong-term debt. Issuance costs related to the suspensionamortizing notes are reflected as a reduction of commercial activitiesthe carrying amount and will be amortized through the maturity date using the effective interest rate method.

The proceeds from the issuance were allocated to equity and debt based on the relative fair value of the respective components of each TEU as follows:
Equity ComponentDebt ComponentTotal
Fair value per unit$42.80 $7.20 $50.00 
Gross proceeds$471 $79 $550 
Less: Issuance costs19 22 
Net proceeds$452 $76 $528 

The senior amortizing notes have an aggregate principal amount of $79 million and bear interest at 2.75% per year. On each February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 until the maturity date, we will pay equal quarterly cash installments of $0.6250 per each amortizing note with an initial principal amount of $7.2007 (except for Imrestor.the first installment payment of $0.6528 per amortizing note paid on May 1, 2020). Each installment constitutes a payment of interest and partial payment of principal, and in the aggregate will be equivalent to 5.00% per year with respect to the $50 stated amount per TEU.

Unless settled early at the holder’s or our election, each prepaid stock purchase contract will automatically settle on February 1, 2023 (the mandatory settlement date) for a number of shares of common stock per contract based on the average of the volume-weighted average trading prices during the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including the 21st scheduled trading day immediately preceding February 1, 2023 (applicable market value) with reference to the following settlement rates:
Applicable Market ValueCommon Stock Issued
Equal to or greater than $38.401.3021 shares (minimum settlement rate)
Less than $38.40, but greater than $32.00$50 divided by applicable market value
Less than or equal to $32.001.5625 (maximum settlement rate)

The prepaid stock purchase contracts are mandatorily convertible into a minimum of 14 million shares or a maximum of 17 million shares of our common stock on the mandatory settlement date (unless redeemed by us or settled earlier at the unit holder's option). The 14 million minimum shares are included in the calculation of basic weighted average shares outstanding. The difference between the minimum and maximum shares represents potentially dilutive securities, which are included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding on a pro rata basis to the extent that the average applicable market value is higher than $32.00 but is less than $38.40 during the period.

Note 9. Financial Instruments and Fair Value

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. We evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers on a regular basis, monitor economic conditions, and calculate allowances for estimated credit losses on our trade receivables on a quarterly basis using an expected credit loss model. We assess whether collectability is probable at the time of sale and on an ongoing basis. Collateral is generally not required. The risk associated with this concentration is mitigated by our ongoing credit-review procedures and insurance.procedures.

A large portion of our cash is held by a few major financial institutions. We monitor the exposure with these institutions and do not expect any of these institutions to fail to meet their obligations. All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. The cost of these investments approximates fair value. We also consider the carrying value of restricted cash balances to be representative of its fair value.

As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2017,2020, we had $14.9$34 million and$12.3 $33 million, respectively, of costinvestments included in other noncurrent assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. These include investments with readily determinable fair values, investments without readily determinable fair values, and equity method investments. Unrealized net gains and losses during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 were immaterial.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage the volatility related to these exposures, we have entered into various derivative transactions. We formally assess, designate and document, as a hedge of an underlying exposure, each qualifying derivative instrument that will be accounted for as an accounting hedge at inception. Additionally, we assess, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments used in the hedging transaction are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair values or cash flows of the underlying exposures.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

We may enter into foreign exchange forward or option contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating currency exchange rates. These derivative financial instruments primarily offset exposures in the British pound, Canadian dollar, Euro, Japanese yen, Swiss franc (CHF), and Chinese yuan. Foreign currency derivatives used for hedging are put in place using the same or like currencies and duration as the underlying exposures and are recorded at fair value with the gain or loss recognized in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Forward contracts generally have maturities not exceeding 12 months. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with aggregate notional amounts of $1,503 million and $1,391 million, respectively.

The amount of net gain on derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, recorded in other expense, net are as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
20212020
Foreign exchange forward contracts (1)

(1)These amounts were substantially offset in other expense, net by the effect of changing exchange rates on the underlying foreign currency exposures.

Derivatives Designated as Hedges

In October 2018, as a means of mitigating the impact of currency fluctuations on our operations in Switzerland, we entered into a five-year cross-currency fixed interest rate swap with a 750 million CHF notional amount, which was designated as a net investment hedge (NIH) against CHF denominated assets (the fair value of which was estimated based on quoted market values of similar hedges and was classified as Level 2). During the three months ended March 31, 2020, approximately 75% of our cross-currency swaps were liquidated for a cash benefit of $27 million (including $2 million in interest). We had an approximately 190 million CHF notional remaining on our NIH as of March 31, 2020, which was fully liquidated in April 2020. Notwithstanding settlement, gains and losses within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will remain in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until either the sale or substantial liquidation of the hedged subsidiary.

Gains on the NIH, recognized within interest expense, net of capitalized interest, are as follows:

Over the life of the derivative, gains or losses due to spot rate fluctuations were recorded in cumulative translation adjustment in other comprehensive income (loss). The amounts of net gains on interest rate swap contracts, recorded, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), are as follows:

Separately, in March 2020, as a means of mitigating variability in cash flows associated with the anticipated term loan B issuance, we executed forward-starting interest rate swaps with a $4.1 billion notional amount, which are designated as cash flow hedges and have maturity dates ranging between 2022 and 2025. These instruments effectively convert floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. The cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, while changes in the fair value of the hedge are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Fair value is estimated based on quoted market pricesvalues of similar liabilitieshedges and is classified as Level 2. AsAmounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be recognized in earnings in interest expense, net of Decembercapitalized interest when the hedged transaction affects earnings (i.e., when interest payments are accrued on the term loan B). During the three months ended March 31, 2017, long term debt was not material.2021 and 2020 we recorded a gain of $53 million (net of tax expense of $0 after valuation allowance) and a loss of $39 million (net of tax benefit of $11 million), respectively, on the cash flow hedges in other comprehensive loss. Over the next 12 months we expect to reclassify $28 million from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense, net of capitalized interest due to the amortization of net losses on the interest rate swaps. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we reclassified $7 million of net losses into interest expense.

We were generally included in the tax grouping of other Lilly entities within the respective entity's tax jurisdiction; however, in certain jurisdictions, we filed separate tax returns. Prior to the Separation, the income tax expense included in these financial statements has been calculated using the separate return basis as if Elanco filed separate tax returns.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred $18.6 million and $46.2 million, respectively, of income tax expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the effective tax rate of 23.6% and 39.7%, respectively, was primarily attributable to a net operating loss in the U.S. for which no tax benefit was recognized and a valuation allowance was recorded.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, despite reporting a loss before taxes of $9.1 million and $77.2 million, respectively, we incurred $11.6 million and $72.0 million of income tax expense. The tax expense recorded related primarily to income generated in certain foreign jurisdictions as no tax benefit was recorded for U.S. net operating losses.
In December 2017, the President of the U.S. signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017 Tax Act), which includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a reduction in the corporate income tax rate, transition to a territorial tax system, and modifications to the international tax provisions. At September 30, 2018, our accounting for the 2017 Tax Act is incomplete; however, we expect to complete our accounting by December 2018. As discussed in our combined financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in our IPO Prospectus, we recorded provisional adjustments for effects that we were able to reasonably estimate. Those effects included the one-time repatriation transition tax (also known as the Toll Tax), re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities, unremitted earnings, executive compensation, and uncertain tax positions. At December 31, 2017, we were not able to make reasonable estimates for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) deferred taxes or changes to the valuation allowances; therefore, we did not record provisional amounts. We are still evaluating the effects of the GILTI provisions and assessing our valuation allowances, and we have not yet concluded upon our accounting policy election with respect to GILTI deferred taxes or the application of intra entity transfers of inventory; therefore, the estimated annual effective tax rate reflects GILTI as a period expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we have not made any additional measurement-period adjustments related to provisional amounts as we are continuing to collect and analyze additional information as well as evaluate the interpretations and assumptions made. Updates to the calculations may result in material changes to the provisional adjustments recorded at December 31, 2017 and the estimated annual effective tax rate.
As part of Lilly, we are included in Lilly's U.S. tax examinations by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).through the full separation date of March 11, 2019. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement we executed with Lilly in connection with the IPO, the potential liabilities or potential refunds attributable to pre-IPO periods in which Elanco was included in a Lilly consolidated or combined tax return remain with Lilly. The IRSU.S. examination of tax years 2013-20152016 - 2018 began in 2016. While we believe it is reasonably possible thatthe fourth quarter of 2019 and remains ongoing; therefore, the resolution of this audit could reachperiod will likely extend beyond the next 12 months.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized an income tax benefit of $19 million. Our effective tax rate of 23.5% differs from the statutory income tax rate primarily due to tax-exempt interest income in certain foreign jurisdictions. Income tax benefit was partially offset by a $2 million increase to the valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets during the period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized an income tax benefit of $19 million. The effective tax of 27.6% differs from the statutory income tax rate primarily due to a pre-tax loss mainly driven by acquisition and integration costs. In addition, a discrete income tax benefit of $2 million was recognized related to the excess tax benefits for stock-based compensation that vested in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Legal Matters

On May 20, 2020, a shareholder class action lawsuit captioned Hunter v. Elanco Animal Health Inc., et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana (the Court) against Elanco, Jeffrey Simmons and Todd Young. On September 3, 2020, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff, and on November 9, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The lawsuit alleges, in part, that Elanco and certain of its executives made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose certain facts about Elanco’s supply chain, inventory, revenue and projections. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and purports to represent purchasers of Elanco securities between September 30, 2018 and May 6, 2020, and purchasers of Elanco common stock issued in connection with Elanco's acquisition of Aratana Therapeutics, Inc. We filed a motion to dismiss on January 13, 2021. The timing of the Court's decision is uncertain. We believe the claims made in the

Claims seeking actual damages, injunctive relief, and/or restitution for the allegedly deceptive marketing have been made against Elanco Animal Health Inc. and Bayer HealthCare LLC arising out of the use of Seresto™, a tax matters agreement (TMA) with Lillynon-prescription flea and tick collar for cats and dogs. In March, April, and May 2021, class action lawsuits were filed in state and federal courts in the U.S. alleging that amongthe Seresto collars contain pesticides and other things, formalized our agreementingredients that can cause serious injury and death to cats and/or dogs wearing the product. The cases mention the existence of incident reports involving humans, but no plaintiff has claimed personal harm from the product. Further, a U.S. House of Representative subcommittee chair requested Elanco to produce certain documents and information related to the responsibility for historical tax positions forSeresto collar and further made a request to temporarily remove Seresto collars from the periods priormarket. We are cooperating with the subcommittee and have produced information pursuant to the Separation for jurisdictions where our business was included inrequest. In addition, as Seresto is registered with the consolidatedEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA), we are providing information to the EPA regarding the safety profile of Seresto. All data and scientific evaluation used during the product registration process and through pharmacovigilance review supports the product’s positive safety profile and efficacy. Therefore, we believe no removal or combined tax returns of Lilly. The TMA also established a tax sharing agreement for jurisdictions where our business willrecall is warranted, nor has it been suggested by any regulatory agency. We continue to be included in Lilly's consolidated or combined tax returnsstand behind the safety profile for a periodSeresto, and it remains available to consumers globally. We continue to receive information with respect to potential litigation costs and the anticipated number of time.


Based on the TMA, Lilly retained the tax benefitscases, and liabilities associated with all periods prior to the Separation date for any jurisdiction where we were included in a consolidated or combined tax return. The financial statements for periods prior to Separation included certain deferred tax assets related to tax credit and net operating loss carryovers that resulted from our tax expense being calculated on a separate return basis that will not transfer to us either because they were used by Lilly or are retained by Lilly and reflected certain tax liabilities that will be retained by Lilly. We recorded an adjustmenttaking appropriate steps to our consolidated balance sheet at the date of Separation to reflect our tax positions based on the TMA. This resulted in a decrease in tax liabilities by $31.2 million asdefend these tax liabilities will be retained by Lilly.class action lawsuits.
At September 30, 2018, we have net operating losses for international tax purposes of approximately $190 million which will expire between 2022 and 2028. These net operating losses are partially reserved. Deferred tax assets related to state net operating losses are $6.2 million. The state net operating losses will generally expire between 2035 and 2037.

Note 14. Loss Per Share

We have calculatedcompute basic loss per share by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the actual weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Elanco has variable common stock equivalents relating to certain equity awards in stock-based compensation arrangements and the TEU prepaid stock purchase contracts (see Note 7: Equity for further discussion). Diluted earnings per share assuming 365,625,000reflects the potential dilution that could occur if holders of the unvested equity awards and unsettled TEUs converted their holdings into common stock. The weighted average number of potentially dilutive shares were outstanding for all periods presented. This represents an aggregateis calculated using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares that would have the effect of 293,290,000increasing diluted earnings per share (or reducing loss per share) are considered to be anti-dilutive and as such, these shares of our common stock held by Lilly (which represents the 100 shares held by Lilly prior to giving effect to the 2,932,900-for-1 stock split that occurred on September 19, 2018), the issuance of 62,900,000 shares of our common stockare not included in the IPO,calculation of diluted loss per share.

Note 14. Related Party Agreements and Transactions
Separation-Related Agreements with Lilly
As described in Note 1, in connection with the Separation Lilly transferred to us substantially all of its animal health businesses in exchange for approximately $4.2 billion. This is reflected as consideration to Lilly in our statement of equity. In addition, we entered into a master separation agreement and a transitional services agreement with Lilly.
Master Separation Agreement (MSA)
As stated in Note 1, Lilly transferred to us at the time of Separation, through a series of transactions, the businesses that will continue as part of Elanco. For a certain portion of our operations, the legal transfer of our net assets did not occur prior to the Separation due to certain regulatory requirements in each of these countries. Under the MSA entered into with Lilly, we are responsible for the business activities conducted by Lilly on our behalf and are subject to the risks and entitled to the benefits generated by these operations and assets. As a result, the related assets and liabilities and results of operations have been reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements. The total net assets associated with these jurisdictions are $84.5 million and the annual profits are insignificant. Upon Separation, we retained $275.0 million, which is reflected as restricted cash, that will be used to fund the purchase of these operations from Lilly at the time of the local country closing and have an offsetting payable to Lilly. If the amount of local purchases is less than $275.0 million, we are required to repay the remaining amount to Lilly.
In addition, based on the MSA, we are required to distribute to Lilly any amount of cash in excess of $300.0 million held at September 30, 2018. As a result, we have reflected an additional $359.9 million of restricted cash on our balance sheet with an offsetting payable to Lilly at September 30, 2018.
Transitional Services Agreement (TSA)
Historically, Lilly has provided us significant shared services and resources related to corporate functions such as executive oversight, treasury, legal, finance, human resources, tax, internal audit, financial reporting, information technology and investor relations, which we refer to collectively as the "Lilly Services." Under the terms of the TSA, we will be able to use Lilly Services for a fixed term established on a service-by-service basis. We will pay Lilly mutually agreed-upon fees for the Lilly Services provided under the TSA, which will be based on Lilly's cost (including third-party costs) of providing the Lilly Services throughthree months ended March 31, 2021 and subject2020, we reported a net loss. Therefore, dilutive common stock equivalents are not assumed to have been issued since their effect is anti-dilutive. As a mark-up of 7% thereafter, with additional inflation-based escalation beginning January 1, 2020. The fees under the TSA become payable for all periods beginning after October 1, 2018.
We also entered into a TMA, an employee matters agreement, a toll manufacturingresult, basic and supply agreement and a registration rights agreement with Lilly in connection with the Separation.




Transactions with Lilly Prior to Separation
We did not historically operate as a standalone business and had various relationships with Lilly whereby Lilly provided services to us.

Corporate Overhead and Other Allocations
Lilly provides us certain services, including executive oversight, treasury, legal, finance, human resources, tax, internal audit, financial reporting, information technology and investor relations. We provide Lilly certain servicesElanco. These transactions primarily related to local country asset purchases and various transitional services agreements (TSAs), contract manufacturing support. Our financial statements reflect an allocation ofarrangements, and certain lease agreements to ensure business continuity after the acquisition.

For regulatory purposes in certain jurisdictions, consideration was required to be paid locally at closing in addition to amounts paid globally for the acquisition. Pursuant to the stock and asset purchase agreement, Bayer has provided a refund for payment amounts duplicated in these costs. When specific identification is not practicable, the remainder have been allocated primarily on a proportional cost method on a basis of revenue or headcount.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the benefit of such plans related to our employees was $1.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 the costs of such plans related to our employees were $1.7 million and $5.1 million, respectively.
Centralized Cash Management

2021 Q1 Form 10-Q | 27
elan-20210331_g1.jpg


Lilly uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations. Until Separation, the majority of our business was party to Lilly’s cash pooling arrangements to maximize Lilly's availability of cash for general operating and investing purposes. Under these cash pooling arrangements, cash balances were swept regularly from our accounts. Cash transfers to and from Lilly’s cash concentration accounts and the resulting balances at the end of each reporting period were reflected in net parent company investment in the condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets.

Debt
Lilly’s third-party debt and the related interest expense have not been allocated to us for any of the periods presented as we were not the legal obligor of the debt and Lilly borrowings were not directly attributable to our business.
Commercial Operations
We sell certain products to and receives certain goods and services from a customer/vendor, whose chairman and Chief Executive Officer is a member of Lilly's Board of Directors. These product sales resulted in revenue of $4.2 million and $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and of $16.4 million and $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The product sales resulted in accounts receivable of $1.9 million and $2.0 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The purchase of goods and services resulted in cost of sales and operating expenses of $1.4 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as well as $3.3 million and $5.3 million September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The purchase of goods and services resulted in accounts payable of $0.4 million and $0.3 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Overview

Founded in 1954, as part of Eli Lilly and Company, Elanco is a premier animal health company that innovates, develops, manufactures and markets products for companionpets and foodfarm animals. Headquartered in Greenfield, Indiana, we are one of the fourth largest animal health companycompanies in the world. Weworld, with pro forma combined revenue of Elanco and Bayer Animal Health of approximately $4.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020.

On August 1, 2020, we completed the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health. The acquisition expanded our pet health product category, advancing our planned portfolio mix transformation and creating a better balance between our farm animal and pet health product categories. Our existing product portfolio and pipeline have onebeen enhanced by the addition of Bayer Animal Health, which complements our commercial operations and international infrastructure. See Note 4: Acquisitions and Divestitures to the broadest portfolioscondensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the acquisition. Subsequent to the acquisition date, our consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of pet parasiticides in the companion animal sector. Bayer Animal Health.

We offer a diverse portfolio of more than 125approximately 190 brands that make us a trusted partner to veterinarians and foodfarm animal producers in more than 90 countries. Our products are generally sold worldwide to third-party distributors, retailers, and directly to farm animal producers and veterinarians. With the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health, we have expanded our presence in retail and e-commerce channels in order to meet pet owners where they want to purchase.

We operate our business in a single segment directed at fulfilling our vision of enriching the lives of people through food, - making protein more accessible and affordable - and through pet companionship, - helping pets live longer, healthier lives. In 2020, we renamed our four primary product categories by replacing "food animal" and "companion animal" with "farm animal" and "pet health," respectively, to better reflect the terminology used by our customers. We advance our vision bywith the following offering products in four primary categories:of portfolio solutions:
Companion Animal Disease Prevention (CA Disease Prevention)
Pet Health: Our portfolio is focused on parasiticides, vaccines and therapeutics. We have one of the broadest parasiticide portfolios in the companion animalpet health sector based on indications, species and formulations, with products that protect pets from worms, fleas and ticks. CombiningOur Seresto and Advantage, Advantix, Advocate (collectively referred to as the Advantage Family) products are over-the-counter treatments for the elimination and prevention, respectively, of fleas and ticks, and complement our prescription parasiticide products, Credelio, Interceptor Plus, and Trifexis. Our vaccines portfolio with our vaccines presence, we areprovides differentiated prevention coverage for a leadernumber of important pet health risks and is available in the United States (U.S.) in the disease prevention category based on share of revenue.
Companion Animal Therapeutics (CA Therapeutics): WeU.S. only. In therapeutics, we have a broad pain and osteoarthritis portfolio across species, modes of action, indications and disease stages. Pet owners are increasingly treating osteoarthritis in their pets, and our Galliprantproduct is one of the fastest growing osteoarthritis treatments in the U.S. We alsoAdditionally, we have treatmentsproducts that offer treatment for otitis (ear infections) with Claro, as well as treatments for certain cardiovascular and dermatology indications.

Increases or decreases in inventory levels at our channel distributors can positively or negatively impact our quarterly and annual revenue results, leading to variations in quarterly revenues. This can be a result of various factors, such as end customer demand, new customer contracts, heightened and generic competition, the need for certain inventory levels, our ability to renew distribution contracts with expected terms, our ability to implement commercial strategies, regulatory restrictions, unexpected customer behavior, proactive measures taken by us in response to shifting market dynamics, payment terms we completedextend, which are subject to internal policies, and procedures and environmental factors beyond our control, including weather conditions and the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Key Trends and Conditions Affecting Our Results of Operations

Industry Trends

The animal health industry, which includes both farm animals and pets, is a $2.0 billion senior notes offeringgrowing industry that benefits billions of people worldwide.

As demand for animal protein grows, farm animal health is becoming increasingly important. We believe that factors influencing growth in demand for farm animal medicines and entered into a $500.0 million term loan,vaccines include:

one in three people needing improved nutrition;
increased global demand for protein, particularly poultry and Lilly transferredaquaculture;
natural resource constraints, such as scarcity of arable land, fresh water and increased competition for cultivated land, driving the need for more efficient food production;
loss of productivity due to us substantially allfarm animal disease and death;
increased focus on food safety and food security; and
human population growth, increased standards of living, particularly in many emerging markets, and increased urbanization.

Growth in farm animal nutritional health products (enzymes, probiotics and prebiotics) is influenced, among other factors, by demand for antibiotic alternatives that can promote animal health and increase productivity.
We believe that factors influencing growth in demand for pet medicines and vaccines include:

increased pet ownership globally;
pets living longer; and
increased pet spending as pets are viewed as members of the assets and liabilities of their animal health business. Lilly continues to own the remaining 80.2% of our outstanding shares. Lilly has informed us that it may make a tax-free distribution to its shareholders of all or a portion of its remaining equity interest in us, which may include one or more distributions effected as a dividend to all Lilly shareholders, one or more distributions in exchange for Lilly shares or other securities, or any combination thereof. We refer to any such potential distribution as the Distribution. Lilly has no obligation to pursue or consummate any further dispositions of its ownership interest in us, including through the Distribution,family by any specified date or at all.owners.
For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, our revenue was $761.1 million and $697.1 million,

respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, our net income (loss) was $60.2 million and $(20.7) million, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, our revenue was $2,267.5 million and $2,134.7 million, respectively, For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 our net income (loss) was $70.1 million and $(149.2) million, respectively.
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

COVID-19 Pandemic

Our business has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that originated in December 2019. We continue to monitor the global outbreak of COVID-19 and have worked with our customers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders to mitigate the risks posed by its spread. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the economy in the United States and globally, and has had an effect on the operations of our company, vendors and suppliers, and supply of and demand for our products as follows:

Operations

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental authorities implemented measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, limits on gatherings, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, site closures and business shutdowns. These measures have affected the ability of our employees, vendors, and suppliers to perform their respective responsibilities and obligations relative to the conduct of our business. We have important manufacturing operations worldwide that have been impacted by the outbreak. Measures requiring business shutdowns generally exclude certain essential services, and those essential services commonly include critical infrastructure and the businesses that support that critical infrastructure. Because the animal health industry has been designated an essential business, our manufacturing and research facilities remain operational, while our employees in other company functions continue to primarily work remotely. These measures have impacted and may further impact our workforce and operations, as well as those of our customers, vendors and suppliers.

Supply

In the first quarter of 2021, we did not experience significant impacts or interruptions to our supply chain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as the pandemic continues, we may face supply chain disruptions due to operational difficulties experienced by our suppliers. Although we regularly monitor the financial health of companies in our supply chain, the financial hardship on our suppliers caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could cause a disruption in our ability to obtain raw materials or components required to manufacture our products, adversely affecting our operations. Freight processes have experienced, and could continue to experience, lead time disruptions and increases in shipping costs, negatively impacting our profitability.

Demand

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted global economic conditions. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic created significant uncertainty for our channel distribution partners with respect to end customer demand and working capital, particularly in early 2020. Based on these factors, in addition to a shift in tactics for demand generation with our distributors, in the first and second quarters of 2020, we reduced the amount of inventory held in the channel. For our pet health business, demand in our direct to retailer and e-commerce channels could be negatively impacted by economic conditions as they fluctuate.

In our farm animal business, demand has been negatively impacted by processing plant closures, resulting in a backlog of animals ready for processing, and weakened food service demand, which collectively have pressured producer economics. Processing plants have adjusted operations and have cleared most of the backlog, and demand for certain protein categories continues to recover. While the impact has been most significant for the U.S. livestock industry, particularly in the second and third quarters of 2020, the pressure has occurred globally and across species. As the pandemic has continued through the beginning of 2021, our business has been affected by lower levels of demand in certain markets due to unfavorable macroeconomic conditions and reduced food service consumption. As a result, the industry has seen pressured prices and producer profitability across species, most notably in international poultry and aqua. We anticipate that recovery of end consumer demand, particularly in the food service business as compared to prior year will continue to occur, particularly impacting our farm animal business, throughout 2021.

Our third party distributors may face difficulties maintaining operations and normal liquidity in light of government-mandated restrictions. Due to liquidity and working capital pressure caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, our distributors continue to manage inventory more tightly. In response to this along with a shift in tactics for demand generation with our distributors, we reduced channel inventory levels during the first half of 2020 as we tightened our approach across all facets of our distributor relationships. We estimate that this decreased our revenue by
2021 Q1 Form 10-Q | 30
elan-20210331_g1.jpg


approximately $160 million. These actions have allowed us to improve working capital management, increase gross margin, implement new compensation structures with our distributors and enable greater control of overall stock levels. We continue to monitor the impacts on our customers' liquidity and therefore our ability to collect on our accounts receivable. While our allowance on these receivables factors in expected credit losses, disruption and declines in the global economy could result in difficulties in our ability to collect, which we have not experienced on a material basis at this time. If significant issues with collections occur, material increases in our allowance for doubtful accounts may be required.

Our Acquisition of Bayer Animal Health

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur expenses in connection with our acquisition of Bayer Animal Health including fees for professional services such as legal, accounting, consulting, and other advisory fees and expenses. Expenses incurred in 2021 primarily relate to integration activities. In addition, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur costs related to the build out of processes and systems to support finance and global supply and logistics and to expand administrative functions, including, but not limited to, information technology, facilities management, distribution, human resources, and manufacturing, to replace services previously provided by the former parent company of Bayer Animal Health. We anticipate that these additional costs will be partially offset by expected synergies.

Product Development and New Product Launches

A key element of our targeted value creation strategy is to drive growth through portfolio development and product innovation, primarily in our three targeted growth categories of CA Disease Prevention, CA Therapeutics and FA Future Protein & Health. Since 2015, we've launched 11 new products, five of which were launched in 2017 and 2018.innovation. We continue to pursue the development of new chemical and biological molecules through our approach to innovation. Our future growth and success dependsdepend on both our pipeline of new products, including new products that we may develop through joint ventures and products that we are able to obtain through license or acquisition, and the expansion of the use of our existing products. We believe we are an industry leader in animal health research and development (R&D),R&D, with a track record of product innovation, business development and commercialization.

Competition

We face intense competition. Principal methods of competition vary depending on the particular region, species, product category, or individual product. Some of these methods include new product development, including generic alternatives to our products, quality, price, service and promotion.

Our primary competitors include animal health medicines and vaccines companies such as Zoetis Inc.; Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., the animal health division of Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH; and Merck Animal Health, the animal health division of Merck & Co., Inc. We also face competition globally from manufacturers of generic drugs, as well as from producers of nutritional health products, such as DSM Nutritional Products AG and Danisco Animal Nutrition, the animal health division of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, a subsidiary of DowDuPont, Inc. There are also several new start-up companies working in the animal health area. In addition, we compete with numerous other producers of animal health products throughout the world.

Productivity

Our results during the periods presented have benefited from our continued operational and productivity initiatives implemented following recent acquisitions and in response to changing market demand for antibiotics and other headwinds.

Prior to the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health, our acquisitions within the last six years added in the aggregate $1.4 billion in revenue, 4,600 full-time employees, 12 manufacturing and eight R&D sites. The acquisition of Bayer Animal Health on August 1, 2020 added 3,900 full-time employees, eight manufacturing sites, and four R&D sites. In addition, from 2015 to 2020, changing market demand for antibiotics and other headwinds, such as competition with generics and innovation. Weinnovation, affected some of our highest gross margin products, resulting in a change to our product mix and driving operating margin lower. In response, we implemented a number of initiatives across the manufacturing, R&D and marketing, selling, general and administrative such as rationalization of stock keeping units, reduction of contract(SG&A) functions. Our manufacturing organizations, implementation ofcost savings strategies included improving manufacturing processes and headcount through lean manufacturing principles(minimizing waste while maintaining productivity), closing manufacturing sites, consolidating our CMO network, strategically insourcing certain projects, and pursuing cost savings opportunities with respect to raw materials via a new procurement initiatives.process. Additional cost savings have resulted from reducing the number of R&D sites, SG&A savings
2021 Q1 Form 10-Q | 31
elan-20210331_g1.jpg


from sales force consolidation, and reducing discretionary and other general and administrative (G&A) operating expense.

Foreign Exchange Rates

Significant portions of our revenue and costs are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. Our products are sold in more than 90 countries and, as a result, our revenue is influenced by changes in foreign exchange rates. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2021 and 2017,2020, approximately 51.1%54% and 50.6%49%, respectively, of our revenue was denominated in foreign currencies. As we operate in multiple foreign currencies, including the Euro, British pound, Swiss franc, Brazilian real, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, and other currencies, changes in those currencies relative to the U.S. dollar impact our revenue, cost of goodssales and expenses, and consequently, net income. These fluctuations may also affect the ability to buy and sell our products between markets impacted by significant exchange rate variances. There has beenCurrency movements had a limited impact on our results due to currency movementsrevenue during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2021 and 2017.2020.

Our Relationship with Lilly and Additional Standalone Costs
During the period prior to the IPO,
All operations-focused TSAs that went into effect after our business operated2018 separation from Lilly were exited as part of a division of Lilly. Our combined financial statements have been derived from Lilly’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records. Our combined financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the business that was transferred at the time of the Separation and do not purport to reflect what the results of operations, comprehensive income/(loss), financial position, equity or cash flows would have been had we operated as an independent, publicly traded company during the periods presented.
Our historical results reflect an allocation of costs for certain Lilly corporate costs, including, among others, executive oversight, treasury, legal, finance, human resources, tax, internal audit, financial reporting, information technology and investor relations. These allocations are not necessarily indicative of the expenses we may incur as a standalone public company. Although we entered into certain agreements with Lilly in connection with the IPO and the Separation, the amount and composition of our expenses may vary from historical levels since the fees charged for the services under these agreements may be higher or lower than the costs reflected in the historical allocations. In addition, we intend to replace these services over time with ones supplied either internally by our employees or by third parties, the cost of which may be higher or lower than the historical allocations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, corporate overhead and other allocations were $34.1 million, $105.2 million, $36.1 million and $107.8 million, respectively. See Note 14: Related Party Agreements and Transactions in our unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.
planned on March 31, 2021. We are currently investingnearly complete with investments in expanding our own administrative functions, including, but not limited to, information technology, facilities management, distribution, human resources, and manufacturing, to replace services previously provided by Lilly. Because of initial stand up costs and overlaps with services previously provided by Lilly, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur certain temporary, duplicative expenses in connection with the


Separation. We have also incurred and expect to continue to incur costs related to the build out of processes and systems to support finance and global supply and logistics, among others. We currently estimate these costs taken together to be in a range from $240$315 million to $290$335 million, net of completed and planned real estate dispositions and employee benefit changes, of which a portion will be capitalized and the remainder will be expensed.
In addition, our historical results do not reflect the impact of costs we have incurred and expect to continue to incur as a consequence of becoming a standalone company, including incremental costs associated with being a publicly traded company. These costs include a change in compensation expense as we institute competitive compensation policies and programs as a standalone public company, the costs of internal and external audit (including those related to Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), investor relations, stock administration, stock exchange fees and regulatory compliance costs.
For the purposes of our financial statements for periods prior our IPO, our effective tax rate was computed on a separate company basis, as if we had operated as a standalone entity or a separate consolidated group in each material jurisdiction in which we operate. As a result of potential changes to our business model and due the fact that we are a standalone entity, income tax expense (benefit) included in the consolidated and combined financial statements may not be indicative of our future expected tax rate.
In connection with the IPO, we entered into $2.5 billion of long-term borrowings. Our historical results for the period prior to entering into such agreements do not reflect interest expense, which we estimate at approximately $110.0 million on an annual basis.
Asset Impairment, Restructuring and Other Special Charges

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 including in connection with the productivity initiatives described above under "Factors Affecting Our results have been impacted byResults of Operations - Productivity," we incurred charges related to asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges, including integration of acquired businesses, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.businesses. These charges primarily include severance costs resulting from actions taken to reduce our cost structure,costs, asset impairment charges primarily related to competitive pressures for certain pet health products, product rationalization,rationalizations, site closures and integration costs related to acquired businesses. businesses, primarily Bayer Animal Health, and costs related to the build out of processes and systems to support finance and global supply and logistics, among others, as we stand our organization up as an independent company.

For more information on these charges, see Note 6:5: Asset Impairment, Restructuring and Other Special Charges in our unauditedto the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.

Volume growth in aqua, vaccines and nutritional health products was offset by international purchasing patterns in the current year for poultry which shifted sales from the third quarter of 2018 to the first half of 2018.
FA Ruminants & Swine revenue increased by $21.1 million or 8% due primarily to increases in volume partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. Growth was driven mainly by U.S. and international purchasing patterns in both the current and prior year which resulted in higher sales in third quarter of 2018.
Strategic Exits revenue decreased by $20.6 million or 42% due primarily to reduced revenue from a temporary contract manufacturing arrangement as part of the acquisition of the BI Vetmedica U.S. vaccines portfolio (BIVIVP)33%, as well as the termination of two legacy U.S. distribution agreements acquired as part of our Novartis Animal Health acquisition.

Legacy Elanco revenue declined as a result of an unfavorable comparison to the prior year, which included anticipatory buying by direct customers in international export markets to ensure continuity of supply ahead of potential COVID-19 disruptions. In addition, the decline in the current period was driven by lower levels of demand in certain markets due to the positivenegative impact of foreign exchange rates;
an increase in revenue of $79.6 million or 15% from CA Disease Prevention products, excluding the impact foreign exchange rates;
an increase in revenue of $24.3 million or 13% from CA Therapeutics products, excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates;

These increases were partially offset by adjustments to severance accruals under the September 2020 program primarily as a result of restructured personnel filling open positions and favorable negotiations, and a related pension curtailment gain from the September 2020 and January 2021 programs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We historically participated in Lilly’s centralized treasury management system, including centralized cash pooling and overall financing arrangements. We have generated and expect to continue to generate positive cash flows from operations. In connection with the IPO, we entered into various long-term debt agreements as described below.
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows from operations and funds available under our Credit Facilities. As a significant portion of our business is conducted outside the U.S.,internationally, we hold a significant portion of cash outside of the U.S. We monitor and adjust the amount of foreign cash based on projected cash flow requirements. Our ability to use foreign cash to fund cash flow requirements in the U.S. may be impacted by local regulations and, to a lesser extent, following U.S. tax reforms, the income taxes associated with transferring cash to the U.S. We currently intend to indefinitely reinvest foreign earnings for continued use in our foreign operations. As our structure evolves as a standalone company, we may change that strategy, particularly to the extent we identify tax efficient reinvestment alternatives for our foreign earnings or change our cash management strategy.
Our principal
We believe our primary sources of liquidity needs going forwardare sufficient to fund our short-term and long-term existing and planned capital requirements, which include working capital obligations, funding existing marketed and pipeline products, capital


expenditures, business development in our targeted areas, short-term and long-term debt obligations which include principal and interest expensepayments as well as interest rate swaps, operating lease payments, purchase obligations, and an anticipated dividend. Wecosts associated with the integration of Bayer Animal Health. In addition, we have the ability to access capital markets to obtain debt refinancing for longer-term funding, if required, to service our long-term debt obligations. Further, we believe we have sufficient cash flow and liquidity to remain in compliance with our cash and cash equivalents on hand, our operating cash flows and our existing financing arrangements will be sufficient to support our cash needs for the foreseeable future, including for at least the next 12 months.debt covenants.

Our ability to meet future funding requirements may be impacted by macroeconomic, business and financial volatility. As markets change, we will continue to monitor our liquidity position. However, a challenging economic environment or an economic downturn may impact our liquidity or ability to obtain future financing. See Forward-Looking Statements."Item 1A. Risk Factors - We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful" in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

This increase was partially offset by the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities. The COVID-19 global health pandemic and related economic downturn led to an increase in customer accounts receivable that were past due at the end of the first quarter of 2020; however, customer collections improved throughout the remainder of the year and payment terms decreased. In the past, we have extended our payment terms for distributors on occasion. Although we presently have no plans to do so in the future, it is possible that we will need to extend payment terms in certain situations as a result of the COVID-19 global health pandemic, competitive pressures and the need for certain inventory levels at our channel distributors to avoid supply disruptions. If so, such extensions of customer payment terms could result in additional uses of our cash used to finance working capital. flow.

ItemITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskQUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Exchange Risk

We operate on a global basis and are exposed to the risk that our earnings, cash flows and equity could be adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We are primarily exposed to foreign exchange risk with respect to net assets denominated in the Euro, British pound, Swiss franc, Brazilian real, Australian dollar,

We also face currency exposure that arises from translating the results of our global operations to the U.S. dollar at exchange rates that have fluctuated from the beginning of the period. We may enter into foreign currency forward or option derivative contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating currency exchange rates in future periods, but our historical results do not reflect the impact of any such derivatives related to our exposure to foreign currency impacts on translation.periods.

We estimate that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in all foreign currency exchange rates related to the translation of the results of our foreign operations would decrease our net income by approximately $12.0$6 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018.March 31, 2021.

ItemITEM 4. Controls and ProceduresCONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under applicable SEC regulations, management of a reporting company, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, must periodically evaluate the company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined generally as controls and other procedures of a reporting company designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the reporting company in its periodic reports filed with the SEC (such as this Form 10-Q) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis.

Our management, with the participation of JeffJeffrey N. Simmons, president and chief executive officer, and Todd S. Young, executive vice president and chief financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018.March 31, 2021. Based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.



(b)Changes in Internal Controls. DuringAs of March 31, 2021, management is in the third quarterprocess of 2018,integrating the internal controls of the acquired Bayer Animal Health business into our existing operations as part of planned integration activities. In addition, we have transitioned from a Lilly solutions center to a newly established Elanco solutions center and substantially completed the implementation of our new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Other than the controls enhanced or implemented to integrate the Bayer Animal Health business and certain control processes that were updated to reflect our ERP implementation, there werehas been no changeschange in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, that has materially affected, or areis reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As additional transformation activities occur, we will continue to monitor and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting. Further, we have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite our accounting, finance, and legal employees working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing COVID-19 on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

ItemITEM 1. Legal ProceedingsLEGAL PROCEEDINGS
(none)

See Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a summary of our legal proceedings.

ItemITEM 1A. Risk FactorsRISK FACTORS
Our material risk factors are disclosed in our IPO Prospectus. There

Other than the revisions set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I of our IPO Prospectus.Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following risk factor has been changed from the risk factor that was previously disclosed:

Unanticipated safety, quality or efficacy concerns or identified concerns associated with our products may harm our reputation and have an adverse impact on our performance.

Unanticipated safety, quality or efficacy concerns arise from time to time with respect to animal health products, whether or not scientifically or clinically supported, potentially leading to product recalls, withdrawals or suspended or declining sales, as well as product liability and other claims. Regulatory actions based on these types of safety, quality or efficacy concerns could impact all, or a significant portion, of a product’s sales.

For example, lawsuits seeking actual damages, injunctive relief, and/or restitution for allegedly deceptive marketing have been filed against us arising out of the use of Seresto, a non-prescription flea and tick collar for cats and dogs, based on reports alleging that the collar has caused injury and death to pets. Further, a U.S. House of Representative subcommittee chair requested that we produce certain documents and information related to the Seresto collar and further made a request to temporarily remove Seresto collars from the market. Similar actions relating to Seresto could be taken by regulatory agencies. If any such claims with respect to Seresto or our other products are resolved adversely to us, or if a regulatory agency determines that a recall of any of our products, including Seresto, is necessary, such action could cause harm to our reputation, reduce our product sales, result in monetary penalties and other costly remedies against us, and could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we depend on positive perceptions of the safety, quality and efficacy of our products, and animal health products in general, by food producers, veterinarians and pet owners. Any concern as to the safety, quality or efficacy of our products, whether actual or perceived, may harm our reputation. These concerns, including those relating to Seresto, and the related harm to our reputation could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of whether such reports are accurate.

ItemITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of ProceedsUNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities
On September 24, 2018, we completed our IPO resulting in the issuance of 72.3 million shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $24.00 per share, which number of shares included the underwriters’ exercise in full of their option to purchase up to an additional 9.4 million shares of common stock at the IPO price, less underwriting discounts. The 72.3 million shares of our common stock sold in the IPO represent approximately 19.8% of our outstanding shares, while Lilly continues to own approximately 80.2% of our outstanding shares. The shares sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-226536), which was declared effective by the SEC as of September 19, 2018. The aggregate offering price of our common stock registered and sold under the registration statement was approximately $1,736.0 million (including the shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares). Our proceeds from the IPO were approximately $1,659.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $76.4 million. Goldman, Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC served as joint book-running managers and as representatives of the underwriters for the IPO. The offering commenced on September 19, 2018 and did not terminate before all of the securities registered in the registration statement were sold.
As contemplated by the IPO Prospectus, we have paid, or will pay, to Lilly approximately $4.2 billion in connection with the Separation, which includes the net proceeds from the IPO. A portion of the aggregate payment to Lilly is currently retained by us and is reflected on our balance sheet as restricted cash.(none)
There has been no material change in the planned use of the IPO proceeds as described in the IPO Prospectus.
