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.

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. 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.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Background

Elanco is a global animal health company that innovates, develops, manufactures and markets products for pets and farm animals. We offer a portfolio of approximately 200 brands to pet owners, veterinarians and farm animal producers in more than 90 countries. Our products are generally sold worldwide directly to wholesalers, distributors and independent retailers. Certain products are also sold directly to farm animal producers and veterinarians. We have a diversified business of products across species consisting of: dogs and cats (collectively, pet health) and cattle, poultry, swine and aqua (collectively, farm animal).

Elanco was incorporated in Indiana on September 18, 2018, and prior to that was a business unit of Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly).

Note 2.1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the SEC requirements for 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 Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our 2022 Form 10-K. In addition, results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year ending December 31, 2023 or any other future period.

In our opinion, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (including those that are normal and recurring) that are necessary for 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 of prior year information have been made to conform to the current year's presentation.

The significant accounting policies set forth in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2022 Form 10-K appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of our accounting policies.

Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, a cumulative error was identified and corrected relating to the valuation allowance for taxes for a Southeast Asia affiliate. While immaterial to prior years, correcting this cumulative error in 2022 would have caused the 2022 financial statements to be materially misstated. In conjunction with making these corrections, we made other adjustments to the prior years to revise uncorrected errors. The appropriate revisions to our historical condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto are reflected herein. Further information is included in Note 2 and Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2022 Form 10-K.

The following table provides a brief description of an accounting standard that was recently adopted:
StandardDescriptionEffective DateEffect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 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; ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848
ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference 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 exceptions. ASU 2022-06 extends the period of time entities can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance under ASU 2020-04 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024.Adoption of the guidance is optional and effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. Adoption is permitted at any time during the period on a prospective basis.Effective April 1, 2023, and in accordance with the provisions outlined in our underlying credit agreements, we have transitioned the reference rate used in our credit facilities from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR). The change did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Revenue

Our sales rebates and discounts are based on specific agreements. The most significant of our sales rebate and discount programs in terms of accrual and payment amounts, percentage of our products that are sold via these programs and level of judgment required in estimating the appropriate transaction price, relate to our programs in the U.S., France and the United Kingdom (U.K.). As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the aggregate liability for sales rebates and discounts for these countries represented approximately 76% and 74%, respectively, of our total liability.

Note 3. Revenue
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 obligations, which is generally once the goods have been shipped and the customer has assumed title. For contract manufacturing organization (CMO) arrangements, we recognize revenue over time or at a point in time depending on our evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services.
We have a single customer that accounted for approximately 9% and 10% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Product sales with this customer resulted in accounts receivable of $84 million and $73 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Provisions for sales rebates and discounts are established in the same period the related sales are recognized and are based on specific agreements. Sales rebates and discounts are recorded as a reduction to revenue. In determining the appropriate accrual amount, we consider our historical experience with similar incentive programs, current sales data and estimates of inventory levels at our channel distributors. The following table summarizes the activity in our global sales rebates and discounts liability:
Six Months Ended June 30,
20232022
Beginning balance$324 $316

NutriQuest U.S. Acquisition

On January 3, 2023, we acquired certain U.S. marketed products, pipeline products, inventory and an assembled workforce from NutriQuest, LLC (NutriQuest). NutriQuest is a provider of swine, poultry and cattle nutritional health products to animal producers. The acquisition allows us to expand our existing nutritional health offerings and furthers our efforts to explore innovative antibiotic alternatives.

The composition of the purchase price iswas as follows:

Up-front cash consideration$16 
Deferred cash consideration due January 4, 2024
Fair value of contingent consideration3537 
Total purchase consideration$5658 

Contingent consideration includes up to $85 million of cash consideration payable if specific development, sales and geographic expansion milestones are achieved. We recorded a $35 million liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of theThe NutriQuest acquisition date based on the fair value of the contingent consideration. See Note 10: Financial Instruments and Fair Value for further information.

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 assets has been recorded as goodwill. Contingent consideration includes up to $85 million of cash consideration payable if specific development, sales and geographic expansion milestones are achieved, as outlined in the asset purchase agreement. The resultsinitial fair value assessment of operationsthis contingent consideration liability of $37 million was estimated as of the acquisition are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements fromdate using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which represented a Level 3 measurement under the date of acquisition.

(1)The goodwill recognized from this acquisition is primarily attributable to NutriQuest's assembled workforce and expected synergies. The goodwill associated with this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

Other intangible assets consist of customer relationships and trade names. The acquired definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over a weighted-average estimated useful life of approximately 12 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 accounting for this acquisition has not been finalized as of March 31,June 30, 2023. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change, including the valuation of the contingent consideration and intangible assets. The final determination of these amounts will be completed as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Microbiome R&D platform carve-out

In April 2022, we signed an agreement to transfer assets associated with our microbiome R&D platform to a newly created, independent biopharmaceutical company, BiomEdit, focused on developing solutions for animal and human health. As part of the agreement, we retained a non-voting, minority stake in the company. In addition, we entered into transitional services agreements with the company for certain services. Assets transferred included

intellectual property and laboratory equipment. The book values of those assets were not material. We recorded a gain on disposal of the assets of approximately $3 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. We determined that the disposal of the related net assets does not qualify for reporting as a discontinued operation because it does not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded an immaterial gain in other expense, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in connection with the sale of additional equity by BiomEdit.

Shawnee and Speke

During 2021, as part of our strategy to optimize our manufacturing footprint, we announced an agreement with TriRx Pharmaceuticals (TriRx) to sell our manufacturing sites in Shawnee, Kansas (Shawnee) and Speke, U.K. (Speke), including the transfer of approximately 600 employees. In connection with these arrangements, we also entered into long-term manufacturing and supply agreements, under which TriRx began manufacturing existing Elanco products at both sites upon the closing of the transactions. On August 1, 2021 and February 1, 2022, we completed the sales of our Shawnee and Speke sites, respectively. Upon closing the sale of the Speke site, we recorded a contract asset of $55 million for the favorable supply agreement, which iswas included in prepaid expenses and other and other noncurrent assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our fair value assessment for the favorable supply agreement was estimated using a combined income and market approach which incorporated Level 3 inputs. The divestitures did not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results, and therefore do not qualify for reporting as discontinued operations. See Note 6: Asset Impairment, Restructuring and Other Special Charges for further information.

Based on the terms of the agreements we expect to receive aggregate grossand cash proceeds received to date, as of $78June 30, 2023, we had a net receivable balance from TriRx of $71 million from the sales of Shawnee and Speke, over a period of three years which began$65 million was included within other receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder included in the second half of 2022. Through March 31, 2023, we have received cash proceeds totaling $13 million.other noncurrent assets. In May 2023, we entered into amendments to the agreements which effectively restructured the payment schedule related to the remaining amount owed. Under the terms of the amendments, we expect to receive the remaining cash proceeds$65 million current portion of this receivable balance upon the earlier of the date on which certain conditions are met or in equal installments over a twelve-month period beginning January 31, 2024. At this time, we believe amounts owed by TriRx are collectible and we will continue to assess collectibility. Further, we have rights to certain collateral in the event of a default and we continue to monitor the value of this collateral.

BexCaFe Arrangement

In June 2022, we signed a license agreement with BexCaFe, LLC (BexCaFe) for the development and commercialization of products related to Bexacat, an oral treatment intended to reduce glucose levels in diabetic cats. BexCaFe held the rights to the compound through a license agreement with similar terms and conditions. We will incur all development and regulatory costs associated with the products. Based on the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation, we determined that BexCaFe represents a variable interest entity and that we are the primary beneficiary of BexCaFe because the terms of the license give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. As a result, we consolidated BexCaFe, a development-stage company with no employees that did not meet the definition of a business, as of the date we signed the license agreement. Upon initial consolidation of BexCaFe, we measured an IPR&D asset at its fair value of $59 million and recorded liabilities totaling $59 million, which included contingent consideration of $49 million based on the fair value of estimated future milestone payments and sales royalties owed under the license agreement. The initial fair value of the contingent payments was calculated based on an income approach, with payments adjusted for probability of success and then discounted to a present value. There is no minimum payout due on the contingent consideration and the maximum payout related to sales royalties is unlimited. Since BexCaFe did not meet the definition of a business, no goodwill was recorded and immediately after initial consolidation, we expensed the IPR&D asset because we concluded that it did not have an alternative future use.
2023 Q1 Form 10-Q | 13

Table of Contents

During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, we paid $13 million to BexCaFe in connection with development/regulatory milestones achieved upon U.S. FDAFood and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the original new animal drug application for Bexacat in December 2022. Remaining contingent consideration liabilities of $36 million arewere included in other current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31,June 30, 2023.

Subsequent to the effective date of the license agreement, our consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of BexCaFe. Based on the guidance in ASC 810, income and expense between us and BexCaFe have been eliminated against the income or expense included in the financial statements of BexCaFe. The resulting amounts after the effect of these eliminations were included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and were not material.

Note 6.5. Asset Impairment, Restructuring and Other Special Charges

In recent years, we have incurred substantial costs associated with restructuring programs and cost-reduction initiatives designed to achieve a flexible and competitive cost structure. As discussed further below, restructuringRestructuring 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.operations. 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 assetsimpairment charges can be incurred as a result of revised fair value projections and/or determinations to no longer utilize certain assets in the business on an ongoing basis.

For finite-lived intangible assets 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 2: Basis

Tangible Equity Unit (TEU) Offering

In January 2020, we issued 11 million in TEUs at the stated amount of $50 per unit. Total proceeds, net of issuance costs, were $528 million. The gross proceeds and deferred finance costs from the issuance of the TEUs were allocated 86% to equity (prepaid stock purchase contracts) and 14% to debt (TEU amortizing notes) based on the relative fair value of the respective components of each TEU. See Note 9: Debt for additional information on the TEU amortizing notes.

The TEU prepaid stock purchase contracts were converted into shares of our common stock on February 1, 2023. Holders of our TEUs received 1.5625 shares of our common stock based on the maximum settlement rate for the applicable market value being below $32.00. In total, we issued approximately 17 million shares to holders in connection with the settlement.

2023 Financing
On August 3, 2023, we entered into a new $300 million secured term facility (the "Securitization Facility") that is secured and collateralized by our U.S. Net Eligible Receivables Balance (as defined within the applicable agreement). Of the maximum borrowing capacity under the Securitization Facility of $300 million, $250 million was drawn on August 3, 2023. The Securitization Facility will require monthly interest payments over its three-year term at a variable rate based on Term SOFR plus 125 basis points, and our borrowing capacity under the Securitization Facility will be subject to fluctuation over time based on the level of our borrowing base, which is correlated to our U.S. Net Eligible Receivables Balances. The full, outstanding balance of the Securitization Facility will be due on July 31, 2026. On August 7, 2023, we utilized the proceeds from the Securitization Facility, in addition to a $100 million draw on our Revolving Credit Facility on August 4, 2023, to redeem in full the 4.272% Senior Notes due 2023. As the 4.272% Senior Notes due 2023 have been refinanced with long-term financing, they are reflected within long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023. The early redemption of the 4.272% Senior Notes due 2023 has satisfied all obligations and commitments thereunder.
Subsequent to the issuance of the Securitization Facility and the redemption of the 4.272% Senior Notes due 2023, as of the date of this filing, approximately 75% of our long-term indebtedness now bears interest at a fixed-rate (including variable-rate converted to fixed-rate through the use of interest rate swaps - see Note 9. Financial Instruments for further information).
We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of March 31, 2023.June 30, 2023, and remain in compliance subsequent to entering into the new Securitization Facility.

Note 10.9. Financial Instruments and Fair Value

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. We evaluate the creditworthiness ofTo manage 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.

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 had investments without readily determinable fair values and equity method investments included in other noncurrent assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets totaling $27 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Unrealized net gains and losses on our investments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were immaterial.

Contingent consideration liabilities totaling $35 million as of March 31, 2023 related to contingent consideration associated with our acquisition of certain assets of NutriQuest during the first quarter of 2023. We may pay up to $85 million in cash consideration which is contingent upon the achievement of specified sales, approval and geographic expansion milestones as outlined in the asset purchase agreement. The fair values of the contingent consideration liabilities were estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model and a probability weighted expected return method. Both methods use significant inputs that are not observable in the market, representing Level 3 inputs, including those relating to revenue forecasts, discount rates, and volatility. See Note 5: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Arrangements for further discussion.

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,rates, 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, weWe also 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. Derivative cash flows, with the exception of net investment hedges, are principally classified in the operating activities section of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, consistent with the underlying hedged item. Cash flows related to net investment hedges are classified in the investing activities section of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Further, we do not offset derivative assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our outstanding positions are discussed below.

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 Euro, British pound, Swiss franc, Brazilian real, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar 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 (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Forward contracts generally have maturities not exceeding 12 months. As of March 31,June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with aggregate notional amounts of $912$988 million and $784 million, respectively.

We are subjectTo manage our exposure to variable interest rate risk, with regard to our existing floating-rate debt, and we utilize interest rate swap contracts to mitigate the variability in cash flows by effectively converting the floating-rateconvert our variable-rate debt into fixed-rate debt. We recognize any differences between the variable interest rate payments and the fixed interest rate settlements with the swap counterparties as an adjustment to interest expense, net of capitalized interest over the life of the swaps. We have designated our interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges and record them at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Fair value is estimated based on quoted market values of similar hedges and is classified as Level 2.2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 10. Fair Value for further information).

Note 10. Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a framework that utilizes the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. Level 1 fair value measurements are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We determine our Level 2 fair value measurements based on a market approach using quoted market values or significant other observable inputs for identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Our Level 3 fair value measurements, which include the value of contingent consideration as of June 30, 2023, are based on unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity.
The following table summarizes the fair value information at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the respective balance sheet line items, as well as long-term debt, for which fair value is disclosed on a recurring basis:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized income tax expense of $18 million and $23 million, respectively. Our effective tax rates of (23.0)% and 79.9%, respectively, differ from the statutory income tax rates due to the earnings mix of income in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates higher than the U.S. and losses in the U.S. and various foreign affiliates for which there was no tax benefit, as valuation allowances have been established in those jurisdictions.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized an income tax benefit of $4 million and income tax expense of $20 million, respectively. Our effective tax rates of 28.6% and 32.3%, respectively, differ from the statutory income tax rate largely due to changes in the earnings mix between periods resulting in projected losses in the U.S. The U.S. federal and state losses were subject to valuation allowances. The income tax (benefit) expense was partially offset by a $17 million income tax benefit reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss due to the termination of interest rates swaps during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized income tax expense of $5 million. Our effective tax rate of 4.4% differs from the statutory income tax rate due to jurisdictional earnings mix of projected income in lower tax jurisdictions, partially offset by losses in the U.S. and a Southeast Asia affiliate for which there is no tax benefit as valuation allowances have been established in those countries.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized income tax expense of $24 million. Our effective tax rate of 31.6% differs from the statutory income tax rate largely due to certain research and experimentation costs being capitalized beginning January 1, 2022, as provided under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This increased the expected profits in jurisdictions with higher statutory tax rates as well as expected U.S. international tax inclusions, which are partially offset by utilization of net operating losses and valuation allowance release in the U.S.

Legal Matters

We are party to various legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The most significant matters are described below. Loss contingency provisions are recorded when it is deemed probable that we will incur a loss and we can formulate a reasonable estimate of that loss.
Seresto Class Action Lawsuits and EPA Safety Review
Claims seeking actual damages, injunctive relief and/or restitution for allegedly deceptive marketing have been made against Elanco Animal Health Inc. and Bayer HealthCare LLC, along with other Elanco and Bayer entities, arising out of the use of Seresto™, a non-prescription flea and tick collar for cats and dogs. During 2021, putative class action lawsuits were filed in federal courts in the U.S. alleging that the Seresto collars contain pesticides that can cause serious injury and death to cats and/or dogs wearing the product. In August 2021, the lawsuits were consolidated by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, and the cases were transferred to the Northern District of Illinois. In June 2023, the parties agreed on the monetary terms of a potential settlement of the consolidated class action lawsuits. As a result, we determined that an accrual of $15 million was appropriate, given a settlement is now considered both estimable and probable as of June 30, 2023. The parties must still reach agreement on non-monetary terms, and any settlement, if reached, is subject to approval by the court, and likely will be subject to other conditions. We have recorded this $15 million accrual provision within other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding charge included within other expense (income), net on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Also, in January 2023, a lawsuit seeking damages for alleged negligence, breach of statutory regulations, breach of statutory duties and deceptive marketing was filed in Israel against Elanco and other parties, arising out of the use of Seresto and Foresto™ flea and tick collars for cats and dogs that are marketed and sold in Europe and in Israel. We intend to defend our position vigorously, and as of the date of this filing, we are unable to estimate the probability of loss or range of loss, if any.
Further, in March 2021, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives who was serving as a subcommittee chair requested that Elanco produce certain documents and information related to the Seresto collar and further made a request to temporarily recall Seresto collars from the market. On June 15, 2022, the subcommittee held a hearing at which our CEO testified. During and after the hearing, the subcommittee chair repeated his request that Elanco voluntarily recall the collars and also requested that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) commence administrative proceedings that would allow the EPA to remove Seresto from the market.

Tale of Contents
Seresto is a pesticide registered with the EPA. In April 2021, a non-profit organization submitted a petition to the EPA requesting that the agency take action to cancel Seresto’s pesticide registration and suspend the registration pending cancellation. In response to the EPA's request for comments from the public on the petition, we submitted a comment to the EPA supporting the safety profile of Seresto and engaged in discussions with the EPA. On July 13, 2023, the EPA announced their completion of a comprehensive, multi-year review, with support from the FDA, of the Seresto flea and tick collar and confirmed the continued registration of the collar, denying the citizen's petition. As part of the EPA’s scientific review process, the agency analyzed incident data including third-party assessments and compared data to other EPA registered pet products. Based on comprehensive data from the review, the EPA concluded that Seresto continues to meet all the EPA’s standards for registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which ensures that products do not pose unreasonable risk of harm.
Additional Legal Matters
For the litigation matters discussed below for which awe either believe loss is reasonably possible, wenot probable or are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any. The process of resolving these matters is inherently uncertain and may develop over an extended period of time; therefore, at this time, the ultimate resolutions cannot be predicted. As of March 31,June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no material liabilities established related to the litigation as there were no significant claims which were probable and estimable.

On October 16, 2020, a shareholder class action lawsuit captioned Saffron Capital Corporation v. Elanco Animal Health Inc., et al. was filed in the Marion Superior Court of Indiana against Elanco, certain executives and other individuals and entities. On December 23, 2020, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding an additional plaintiff. 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 relationships with third party distributors and revenue attributable to those distributors within the registration statement on Form S-3 dated January 21, 2020 and accompanying prospectus filed in connection with Elanco’s public offering which closed on or about January 27, 2020. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and purports to represent purchasers of Elanco common stock or 5.00% TEUs issued in connection with the public offering.

In response to the EPA's request for comments from the public on the petition, we submitted a comment to the EPA supporting the safety profile of Seresto and have since engaged in discussions with the EPA. Data and scientific evaluation used during the product registration process and through pharmacovigilance review supports the product’s positive safety profile and efficacy. We believe no removal, recall, or cancellation of the pesticide registration is warranted, nor has it been suggested by any regulatory agency. We continue to stand behind the safety profile for Seresto, and it remains available to consumers globally.

In the third quarter of 2019, Tevra Brands, LLC (Tevra) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California, alleging that Bayer Animal Health (acquired by us in August 2020) had been involved in unlawful, exclusive dealing and tying of its flea and tick products Advantage, Advantix and Seresto and maintained a monopoly in the market. The complaint was amended in March 2020 and then dismissed in September 2020 with leave to amend. A second amended complaint was filed in March 2021 and realleges claims of unlawful exclusive dealing related to Advantage and Advantix and monopoly maintenance. A motion to dismiss the second amended complaint was denied in January 2022. Tevra’s demands include both actual and treble damages. The trial is scheduled infor July 2024. We intend to defend our position vigorously.

The land for our new corporate headquarters is located in a Tax Increment Finance District, and the project is, in part, funded through Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) through an incentive agreement between us and the City of Indianapolis. The agreement provides for an estimated total incentive of $64 million to be funded by the City of Indianapolis in connection with the future tax increment revenue generated from the developed property. In December 2021, as part of a funding and development agreement entered into between us and the developer, we made a commitment to use the expected TIF proceeds towards the cost of developing and constructing the headquarters. In exchange, the developer reimbursed us up to the $64 million commitment in 2021. During 2022, we refunded approximately $15 million of the TIF proceeds to the developer. As a result, it is our expectation that our future lease payments will be reduced. The remaining accrued incentive iswas included in other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized over the lease term beginning on the commencement date and offset future rent expense.

Note 13. Geographic Information

We operate as a single operating segment engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing and sales of animal health products worldwide for both pets and farm animals. Consistent with our operational structure, our CEO, as the chief operating decision maker, makes resource allocation and business process decisions globally across our consolidated business. Strategic decisions are managed globally with global functional leaders responsible for determining significant costs/investments and with regional leaders responsible for overseeing the execution of the global strategy. Our global research and development organization is responsible for development of new products. Our manufacturing organization is responsible for the manufacturing and supply of products and for the optimization of our supply chain. Regional leaders are responsible for the distribution and sale of our products and for local direct costs. The business is also supported by global corporate staff functions. Managing and allocating resources at the global corporate level enables our CEO to assess the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources across functions, product types, regional commercial organizations and research and development projects in line with our overarching long-term corporate-wide strategic goals, rather than on a product or geographic basis. Consistent with this decision-making process, our CEO uses consolidated, single-segment financial information for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, as well as forecasting future period financial results.

Our products include AviPro™, Baytril™, Catosal™, Clynav™, Cydectin™, Denagard™, Maxiban™, Rumensin™, Pulmotil™ and other products for livestock, poultry and aquaculture, as well as Advantage™, Advantix™, Advocate™ (with several brands collectively referred to as the Advantage Family), Credelio™, TruCan™, Galliprant™, Interceptor™ Plus,Seresto, Trifexis™ and other products for pets.
We have a single customer that accounted for 9% and 10% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Product sales with this customer resulted in accounts receivable of $66 million and $73 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

We are exposed to the risk of changes in social, political and economic conditions inherent in foreign operations and our results of operations and the value of our foreign assets are affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if holders of the unvested equity awards converted their holdings into common stock and that could have occurred if holders of unsettled TEUs had converted their holdings into common stock prior to the February 1, 2023 settlement date. The weighted average number of potentially dilutive shares outstanding iswas calculated using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share (or reducing loss per share) are considered to be anti-dilutive and as such, these shares arewere not included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (MD&A) is intended to assist the reader in understanding and assessing significant changes and trends related to our results of operations and financial position. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this Item 2 of Part I of this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements. Various risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in "Forward-Looking Statements" of this Form 10-Q, in Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of Part II of this Form 10-Q, and in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of Part I of our 2022 Form 10-K, may cause our actual results, financial position and cash generated from operations to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Further, due to the seasonality of our pet health sales, interim results are not necessarily an appropriate base from which to project annual results.

Business Overview

Elanco is a global animal health company that develops products for pets and farm animals in more than 90 countries. With a heritage dating back to 1954, we rigorously innovate to improve the health of animals and to benefit our customers while fostering an inclusive, cause-driven culture for our employees. 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. We advance our vision by offering products in two primary categories: pet healththe Pet Health and farm animal.

Farm Animal product categories.
We offer a diverse portfolio of approximately 200 brands that make us a trusted partner to pet owners, veterinarians and farm animal producers. Our products are generally sold worldwide to third-party distributors and independent retailers and directly to farm animal producers and veterinarians. With the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health in 2020, we expanded our presence in retail and e-commerce channels, allowing our customers to shop where and how they want.

Key Trends and Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
We operate ourAcquisition and Integration Activity: As previously disclosed, in April 2023, we successfully completed the integration of the Bayer Animal Health business into Elanco's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. In connection with the integration, we communicated commercial shipping blackout periods that occurred in April, and, given this timing, we believe certain customers modified purchasing habits, which we estimate caused a shift of revenue from the second quarter of 2023 to the first quarter of approximately $90 million to $110 million. In addition, we extended payment terms related to approximately $35 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2023 in certain international markets, driven by the duration of the aforementioned blackout periods. While first quarter 2023 revenues benefited from this shift in purchases, this resulted in a single segment directed at fulfillingcorresponding decrease in revenues during the second quarter of 2023.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we continued to incur costs related to integration activities, including the build out of processes and systems to support our visionglobal organization. Integration costs totaled $75 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. We anticipate some additional costs through 2023 as we finalize these integration activities.
Macroeconomic Factors: Our operations are exposed to and are impacted by various global macroeconomic factors. We face continuing market and operating challenges across the globe due to, among other factors, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, supply chain disruption, higher interest rates and inflationary pressures. Continued evolution of foodthese conditions has led to economic slowdowns in certain countries and/or regions and companionship enriching life – allhas also led to advancevolatility in consumer behavior, particularly impacting our over-the-counter (OTC) retail parasiticide products. We expect these global macroeconomic pressures to continue through 2023.
While there has been an overall improvement in the conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2023 as compared to 2022, we may continue to experience geographical variations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact our financial condition and results of operations remains uncertain.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict: As a global animal health leader, we have an obligation to support the health of animals people and people. At the planet. We advancecenter of that work is ensuring access and availability of food and avoiding the spread of disease. At this time, we are limiting our vision by offering productsbusiness in these two primary categories:

Pet Health: Our pet health portfolio is focused on parasiticides, vaccines and therapeutics. We have one ofRussia to only the broadest parasiticide portfolios in the pet health sector based on indications, species and formulations, withessential products that protect petssupport these needs, while complying with all imposed sanctions. We do not currently manufacture products or source any materials from worms, fleas and ticks. Our Seresto and 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 provides differentiated prevention coverage for a number of important pet health risks and is available in the U.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 Galliprant product is one of the fastest growing osteoarthritis treatments in the U.S. Additionally, we have products that offer treatment for otitis (ear infections) with Claro, as well as treatments for certain cardiovascular and dermatology indications.

Farm Animal: Our farm animal portfolio consists of products designed to prevent, control and treat health challenges primarily focused on cattle (beef and dairy), swine, poultry and aquaculture (cold and warm water) production. Our products include medicated feed additives, injectable antibiotics, vaccines, insecticides and enzymes, among others. We have a wide range of farm animal products, including Rumensin and Baytril, both of which are used extensively in ruminants (e.g., cattle, sheep and goats). In poultry, our Maxiban product, is a valuable offering for the control and prevention of intestinal disease.

A summarycompanies in Russia for use in our products, but to continue to support the health of animals and people, we may in the future source products in Russia because of new laws requiring products sold in Russia to be produced there as well. We do not conduct business with the Russian government. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenue to Russian and Ukrainian customers represented approximately 1% of our consolidated revenue. Assets held in Russia as of June 30, 2023 represented less than 1% of our consolidated assets.
Seasonality: While many of our products are sold consistently throughout the year, we do experience seasonality in our pet health business due to increased demand for certain parasiticide product offerings in the first half of the year. For example, based upon historical results, approximately 75% and 60% of total annual revenue contributed by our higher-margin parasiticide products Serestoand net incomeAdvantage Family, respectively, typically occurs during the first half of the year, which is reflective of the flea and tick season in the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, total revenue for our pet health products through the first half of 2023 is not necessarily an indication of performance during the second half of the year.
Product Development and Regulatory Update
A key element of our targeted value creation strategy is to drive growth through portfolio development and product innovation. We continue to pursue the development of new chemical and biological molecules through our approach to innovation. Our future growth and success depend on both our pipeline of new products, including new products that we develop internally and may develop with partners and products that we are able to obtain through licenses or acquisitions, and the life cycle management of our existing products. We believe we are an industry leader in animal health R&D, with a track record of successful product innovation, business development and commercialization. For example, in July 2023 we launched our canine parvovirus monoclonal antibody in the U.S., the first and only approved therapeutic solution to treat canine parvovirus, one of the most contagious and deadly viruses a dog can contract.
Seresto: On July 13, 2023, the EPA announced their completion of a comprehensive, multi-year review, with support from the FDA, of the Seresto flea and tick collar and confirmed the continued registration of the collar. As part of the EPA’s scientific review process, the agency analyzed incident data including third-party assessments and compared data to other EPA-registered pet products. Based on comprehensive data from the study, the EPA concluded that Seresto continues to meet all the EPA’s standards for registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which ensures that products do not pose unreasonable risk of harm. We believe the EPA's conclusions align with those of authorities worldwide, with Seresto being approved for use in more than 80 counties and supported by veterinary professionals around the globe. The robust scientific evidence continues to support Seresto's safe use.

Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations should be read along with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements Primarily Relating to Tax Valuation Allowance Adjustment
In connection with the same periodpreparation of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, a cumulative error was identified relating to the valuation allowance for taxes for a Southeast Asia affiliate. While immaterial to prior years, correcting this cumulative error in 2022 is as follows:would have caused the 2022 financial statements to be materially misstated. As a result of having to make the revisions related to this error, we made other immaterial revisions to our 2022 unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

As a global company, our products are sold in more than 90 countries, and as a result, significant portions of our revenue and expenses are recorded in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, in any period,As a result, our reported revenue expenses and resulting earnings (loss) are impactedis influenced by changes in foreign exchange rates. During the exchange ratessix months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately 54% and 52%, respectively, of those currencies relativeour revenue was denominated in foreign currencies.

IncreasesFurther, increases or decreases in inventory levels in our distribution channels can positively or negatively impact our quarterly and annual revenue results, leading to variations in revenue. 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 extend, which are subject to internal policies, blackout shipping periods due to system downtime, implementations and integrations and procedures and environmental factors beyond our control, including weather conditionscontrol.
On a global basis, our revenue by product category for the three and the COVID-19 global pandemic.six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is summarized as follows:

Key Trends and Conditions Affecting Our Results of Operations

Industry Trends

The animal health industry, which includes both pets and farm animals, is a growing industry that benefits billions of people worldwide.

We believe that factors influencing growth in demand for pet medicines and vaccines include:

increased pet ownership globally;
pets living longer; and
owners sharing a unique and loving bond with their pets.

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 vaccines include:

two in three people needing improved nutrition;
increased global demand for protein, particularly poultry and aquaculture;
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 farm 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.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Global Macroeconomic Environment
Our operations are conducted globally, and we are exposed to and are impacted by various global macroeconomic factors. We face continuing market and operating challenges across the globe due to, among other factors, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, supply chain disruptions, higher interest rates and inflationary pressures. Continued evolution of these conditions has led to economic slowdowns in certain countries and/or regions. It has also led to volatility in consumer behavior, which has reduced demand due to consumption decreases and retailer destocking, particularly impacting our parasiticide products. We expect these global macroeconomic pressures to continue in 2023.
As a global animal health leader, we have an obligation to support the health of animals and people. At the center of that work is ensuring access and availability of food and avoiding the spread of disease. At this time, we are limiting our business in Russia to only the essential products that support these needs, while complying with all imposed sanctions. We do not currently manufacture products or source any materials from companies in Russia for use in our products, but to continue to support the health of animals and people, we may in the future source products in Russia because of new laws requiring products sold in Russia to be produced there as well. We do not conduct business with the Russian government. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenue to Russian and Ukrainian customers represented approximately 1% of our consolidated revenue. Assets held in Russia as of March 31, 2023 represented less than 1% of our consolidated assets.

While there has been an overall improvement in the conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2023 as compared to 2022, we may continue to experience geographical variations. In 2022, our operations were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 related lockdowns in China, which were lifted late in the year. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact our financial condition and results of operations remains uncertain.
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements Primarily Relating to Tax Valuation Allowance Adjustment

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, a cumulative error was identified relating to the valuation allowance for taxes for a Southeast Asia affiliate. While immaterial to prior years, correcting this cumulative error in 2022 would have caused the 2022 financial statements to be materially misstated. As a result of having to make the revisions related to this error, we made other immaterial revisions to our 2022 unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. All of the revisions are reflected throughout this Form 10-Q. See Note 2: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Acquisitions of Bayer Animal Health and KindredBio

We have incurred expenses in connection with our acquisitions of Bayer Animal Health and KindredBio, including fees for professional services such as legal, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees and expenses. Expenses incurred in 2023 and 2022 are primarily related 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. The ERP system integration of legacy Bayer Animal Health to the Elanco system is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2023. In connection with the integration of the two systems, we specified to our customers periods of time during which product could not be shipped and increased our inventories during the fourth quarter of 2022 to ensure that our product remained available to customers. We believe certain customers modified purchasing habits due to the ERP system integration, causing a shift of revenue from the second quarter to the first quarter of 2023 of approximately $90 million to $110 million based on our high-level estimates. In addition, we extended payment terms related to approximately $35 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2023 in certain international markets, driven by the duration of the aforementioned blackout periods.

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. We continue to pursue the development of new chemical and biological molecules through our approach to innovation. Our future growth and success depend on both our pipeline of new products, including new products that we develop internally and may develop through joint ventures and products that we are able to obtain through licenses or acquisitions, and the expansion of the use of our existing products. We believe we are an industry leader in animal health R&D, with a track record of product innovation, business development and commercialization.

Competition

We face intense competition globally. Competition may vary depending on the particular region, species, product category or individual product. We compete principally on the basis of product quality, price, cost-effectiveness, promotional effectiveness, new product development and product differentiation. Certain products, both existing and new products that we introduce, may compete with other branded or generic products already on the market or that are later developed by competitors. When competitors introduce new products with ease-of-use, therapeutic or cost advantages, our products may become subject to decreased sales and/or price reductions.
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 operational and productivity initiatives implemented following recent acquisitions and in response to changing market demand for antibiotics and other headwinds.

Our acquisitions in the six years prior to the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health added, in the aggregate, $1.4 billion in revenue, 4,600 full-time employees and 12 manufacturing and eight R&D sites. The acquisitions of Bayer Animal Health on August 1, 2020 and KindredBio on August 27, 2021 added 3,950 full-time employees, 10 manufacturing sites and five R&D sites (before company-wide restructuring activities initiated in 2020 and 2021). In addition, from 2015 to 2022, changing market demand for antibiotics and other headwinds, such as competition with generics and innovation, 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 and administrative functions. Our manufacturing cost savings strategies included improving manufacturing processes and headcount through lean manufacturing (minimizing waste while maintaining productivity), closing and selling manufacturing sites, consolidating our CMO network, strategically insourcing certain projects and pursuing cost savings opportunities through alternate sources of supply. Additional cost savings have resulted from reducing the number of R&D sites, sales force consolidation and reducing discretionary and other general and administrative operating expenses.

Seasonality

While many of our products are sold consistently throughout the year, we do experience seasonality in our pet health business due to increased demand for certain parasiticide product offerings in the first half of the year. For example, based upon historical results, approximately 75% and 60% of total annual revenue contributed by our higher-margin parasiticide products Seresto and Advantage Family, respectively, has occurred during the first half of the year, which is reflective of the flea and tick season in the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, a period-to-period comparison of our historical results may not be meaningful and fluctuations in total revenue for our pet health products are not necessarily an indication of future performance.
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 three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, approximately 53% and 54%, 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 sales 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. Currency movements decreased revenue by 3% during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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 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 intend to indefinitely reinvest foreign earnings for continued use in our foreign operations. As our business evolves, 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.

We believe our primary sources of liquidity are 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 includesuch as principal and interest payments, as well as interest rate swaps, operating lease payments, purchase obligations and costs associated with the integrationsbusiness integrations. As of Bayer Animal Health.June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $367 million and unused borrowing capacity on our Revolving Credit Facility of approximately $500 million. In addition, we have the ability to access capital markets to obtain debt refinancingfinancing for longer-term funding, if required, to service our long-term debt obligations.required. Further, we believe we have sufficient cash flow and liquidity to remain in compliance with our debt covenants.

Our ability to meet future funding requirements may be impacted by macroeconomic, business and financial volatility. As marketsmarket conditions 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 "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 2022 Form 10-K.

In the past, we have extended our payment terms for distributors on occasion. Specifically, due to the ERP system integration scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2023, we increased inventories on hand and extended payment terms on sales totaling $35 million for some customers during the first quarter of 2023 to ensure that our product was available for a period of time during which there were no shipments. Although we presently have no plans to do so in the future, it is also possible that we will need to extend payment terms in certain situations, for example, as a result of the COVID-19 global health pandemic, competitive pressures, macroeconomic factors and the need for certain inventory levels in our distribution channels to avoid supply disruptions. If so,In the event we do extend payment terms in the future, such extensions of customer payment terms could result in additional uses of ourcash.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations and commitments as of March 31, 2023 are primarily comprised of long-term debt obligations, operating leases and purchase obligations. Our long-term debt obligations are comprised of our expected principal and interest obligations. Purchase obligations consist of open purchase orders as of March 31, 2023 and contractual payment obligations with significant vendors which are noncancelable and are not contingent. These obligations are primarily short-term in nature. See Note 12: Commitments and Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding the contractual obligations related to our new corporate headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical because these policies are the most important to the depiction of our financial statements and require significant, difficult or complex judgments, by us, often requiring the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results that differ from our estimates could have an unfavorable effect on our financial position and results of operations. We apply estimation methodologies consistently from year to year. Such policies are summarized in Item 7, "Management's Discussion & Analysis of Results of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," of our 2022 Form 10-K. There have beenwere no significant changes or developments in the application of our critical accounting policies during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023.

Goodwill Impairment Testing

We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and when certain qualitative impairment indicators are present that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our single reporting unit below its carrying amount.

In the third quarter of 2022, a significant change in our market capitalization relative to our book value, among other factors, triggered a goodwill impairment review. Based on our qualitative assessment, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit was less than its carrying value, and therefore, we were required to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test, which involved comparing the estimated fair value of our single reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. We estimated the fair value of our single reporting unit using a combination of the income and market approach.

2023 Q1 Form 10-Q | 33

Table of Contents
Significant management judgment is required in estimating our reporting unit’s fair value and in the creation of forecasts of future operating results that are used in the discounted cash flow method of valuation. These include, but are not limited to, estimates and assumptions regarding (1) our future cash flows, revenue, and other profitability measures, (2) the long-term growth rate of our business, and (3) the determination of our weighted-average cost of capital, which is a factor in determining the discount rate. We make these judgments based on our historical experience, relevant market size, historical pricing of similar products and expected industry trends. These assumptions are subject to change in future periods because of, among other things, additional information, financial information based on further historical experience, changes in competition, our investment decisions, volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, results of research and development and changes in macroeconomic conditions, including rising interest rates and inflation. A change in these assumptions or the use of alternative estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the estimated fair value and may expose us to goodwill impairment losses.

As a result of our quantitative assessment, we estimated that the fair value of our single reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount by more than 20% as of September 30, 2022 and, therefore, no impairment existed with respect to our goodwill. Given the further decline in our market capitalization relative toremained lower than our book value as of June 30, 2023, we reevaluated our impairment testing from a qualitative perspective as of March 31, 2023. There wasthis date, with no change to our previous conclusion that no impairment exists, primarily due to decreases in interest rates impacting our cost of capital and improvements in certain drivers of our fair value.exists.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE 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, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar and Chinese yuan.

We face foreign currency exchange exposures when we enter into transactions arising from subsidiary trade and loan payables and receivables denominated in foreign currencies. 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.

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 $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

We generally identify hyperinflationary markets as those markets whose cumulative inflation rate over a three-year period exceeds 100%. We have concluded that our Argentina subsidiary is operating in a hyperinflationary market. As a result, beginning in the second quarter of 2018, the functional currency of our Argentina subsidiary changed from the local currency to the U.S. dollar. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, revenue in Argentina represented less than 1% of our consolidated revenue. Assets held in Argentina as of March 31,June 30, 2023 represented less than 1% of our consolidated assets.

During the first quarter of 2022, Turkey’s three-year cumulative inflation rate also exceeded 100%, and as such, we concluded that Turkey became a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes. As of April 1, 2022, we applied hyperinflationary accounting for our subsidiary in Turkey and changed its functional currency from the Turkish lira to the U.S. dollar. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, revenue in Turkey represented less than 1% of our consolidated revenue. Assets held in Turkey as of March 31,June 30, 2023 represented less than 1% of our consolidated assets.

While theThe application of hyperinflationary conditions did notaccounting for our subsidiaries in Argentina and Turkey have a material impact on our businessresulted in approximately $9 million of foreign currency related expense during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, inwhich was included within other expense (income), net. In the future, we may incur larger currency devaluations, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Interest Risk

During the first quarter of 2023, our variable-rate debt was subject to fluctuations in interest rates based on both LIBOR and Term SOFR. However, effectiveEffective April 1, 2023, we transitioned the reference rate used in our credit facilities, and as a result, our variable-rate debt is now exclusively indexed to Term SOFR.SOFR, including the new Securitization Facility entered into on August 3, 2023 (see Note 8. Debt for further details). As of March 31,June 30, 2023, we held certain interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $3,050$3,800 million that havehad the economic effect of modifying this amount of our variable interest such that a portionvariable-rate debt to fixed-rate.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS 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 Jeffrey 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 March 31,June 30, 2023. As disclosed in Item 9A of Part II of our 2022 Form 10-K, management concluded that a material weakness existed as of December 31, 2022 resulting from the ineffective review of the annual income tax provision, including the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. We are in the process of identifying all issues contributing to the material weakness and developinghave developed a remediation plan. The implementation of this remediation plan will require, at a minimum,which requires the effective operation of certain quarterly and annual controls. Therefore, the material weakness cannot be fully remediated until we assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2023. Based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures remained ineffective.

(b)Changes in Internal Controls. During the firstsecond quarter of 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other than the aforementioned material weakness.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

See Note 12:12. Commitments and Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a summary of our legal proceedings, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our risk factors are documented in Item 1A of Part I of our 2022 Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference. Other than the revisions set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2022 Form 10-K.

The following risk factors have been changed from the risk factors that were 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 reduced 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 media reports alleging that the collar has caused injury and death to pets. Further, in 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives' then-subcommittee chair requested that we produce certain documents and information related to the Seresto collar, made a request to temporarily remove Seresto collars from the market and, during a hearing at which our President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) testified, again called for removal of the collars from the market. We do not anticipate
Since that the collars will be removed from the market bytime, on July 13, 2023, the EPA or any other regulatory agencies or that any potential or agreed upon brand stewardship actions will have meaningful commercial impact onannounced the completion of its comprehensive, multi-year review of the Seresto brand.flea and tick collar and confirmed the continued registration of the collar. However, if any similar claims with respect to our other products are resolved adversely to us, or if a regulatory agency determines that a recall or cancellation of registrations of any of our products 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.

Changes in our credit rating could increase our interest expense and restrict our access to, and negatively impact the terms of, current or future financings or trade credit.
Credit rating agencies continually revise their ratings for the companies that they follow, including us. Credit rating agencies also evaluate our industry as a whole and may change their credit ratings for us based on their overall view of our industry. We cannot be sure that credit rating agencies will maintain their ratings on us and certain of our debt. The acquisition of Bayer Animal Health had a negative impact on our credit ratings, leading to higher borrowing expenses. Additionally, S&P, Moody's and Fitch downgraded our credit ratings in February, March and April 2023, respectively. Because the ratings of certain of our senior unsecured notes have been downgraded, we are required to pay additional interest under the senior unsecured notes. Any further downgrades could result in requirements to pay additional interest under the senior unsecured notes. Moreover, any decision to downgrade our ratings could restrict our access to, and negatively impact the terms of, current or future financings and trade credit extended by our suppliers of raw materials or other vendors.
Changes in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings and/or cash flows.
During the first quarter of 2023, certain of our credit facilities bore interest at variable interest rates that used the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as a benchmark rate. Effective April 1, 2023, and in accordance with the

provisions outlined in our underlying credit agreements, we transitioned the reference rate used in our credit facilities from LIBOR to Term SOFR.
Term SOFR measures the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, and is based on directly observable U.S. Treasury-backed repurchase transactions. While this change did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements, we continue to be exposed to the risk of rising interest rates, given our level of variable-rate indebtedness. Term SOFR rate increases over the course of 2023 have led to an increase in both our interest expense and cash paid for interest, and any further increases in Term SOFR rates would expose us to additional interest rate risk and additional expense. Further, we are exposed to the risk of rising interest rates to the extent we fund our operations with short-term or variable-rate borrowings.
