Elanco Q2 2023 Earnings Report

Elanco's Q2 2023 performance was marked by revenue decline due to the ERP system integration, which was partially offset by price increases and strong performance in U.S. Pet Health and International Farm Animal businesses. The company raised its full-year guidance for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS.

Key Takeaways

Elanco Animal Health reported a 10% decrease in revenue to $1,057 million for Q2 2023, impacted by the ERP system integration. Despite this, the company raised its full-year guidance for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS, driven by strong performance in U.S. Pet Health and International Farm Animal businesses.

Elanco exceeded expectations for the second quarter and first half of 2023.

The company is on track to return to revenue growth in the second half and raise full year guidance for revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS.
