Elanco recently provided the following updates:
“Elanco’s Innovation, Portfolio, and Productivity (IPP) strategy and leadership position in the animal health industry sets us up for sustained value creation. While we continued to face topline pressure in the third quarter, we delivered 5% adjusted EPS growth, expanded adjusted EBITDA margin by 120 basis points and reduced gross debt by nearly $170 million,” said Jeff Simmons, Elanco president and chief executive officer. “The Elanco team is focused on execution, advancing the pipeline, driving market share, price growth, and accelerating our systems integration. Environmental conditions have worsened from our assumptions in August causing us to reduce our full year financial outlook to reflect additional foreign exchange headwinds, the global economic slowdown further impacting Europe and U.S. pet retail markets, and the continued impacts of COVID-19 lockdowns in China.
Importantly, our R&D team has made remarkable progress on the pipeline. We see a path toward five products with blockbuster potential approved in the U.S. by the first half of 2024 – Experior, which doubled revenue sequentially from the second quarter, our monoclonal antibody for canine parvovirus, our broad spectrum parasiticide, and our two dermatology assets. As we look to 2023 specifically, in addition to our parvovirus product, we expect approval for multiple innovative pet products, including Bexacat, the first SLGT-2 inhibitor product for feline diabetes and at least three OTC pet retail products.
