Full-year 2007 worldwide Cialis sales were $1.216 billion and represented 25 percent growth over full-year 2006. Significant Events Over the Last Three Months -- On December 26, 2007, the company, along with its partner, Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited, submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for prasugrel to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The proposed trade name for prasugrel is Effient(TM). The submission follows the release of results of the TRITON TIMI-38 Phase III head-to-head study of prasugrel versus clopidogrel in November at a meeting of the American Heart Association. -- In December, the company announced that Sidney Taurel, chief executive officer and chairman of the board, will retire as CEO effective March 31, 2008. Taurel will remain chairman of the company's board of directors until December 31, 2008, at which time he will retire from the board and from the company. John C. Lechleiter, Ph.D., currently president and chief operating officer, will assume the role of chief executive officer as of April 1, 2008. -- In January 2008, the FDA approved Cialis for once-daily use to treat erectile dysfunction. -- In December, the company entered into a licensing and development agreement with BioMS Medical Corp., granting Lilly exclusive worldwide rights to BioMS Medical's lead multiple sclerosis (MS) compound, MBP8298. The compound is currently being evaluated in two pivotal phase III clinical trials in secondary progressive MS (SPMS) and one Phase II clinical trial in relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). The transaction closed in January, 2008. -- In December, the company ceased production at its manufacturing facility in Basingstoke, England as part of the previously-announced site closure. -- In November, the FDA approved Cymbalta for the maintenance treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. -- In October, the company acquired the rights to a portfolio of transient receptor potential vanilloid sub-family 1 (TRPV1) antagonist molecules from Glenmark Pharmaceuticals S.A. The lead compound, GRC 6211, is currently in Phase II development as a potential next- generation treatment for various pain conditions, including osteoarthritic pain.
"Lilly completed a very successful year by continuing to deliver strong financial results to our shareholders in the fourth quarter," commented Sidney Taurel, chairman and chief executive officer. "Our additional investment in sales and marketing helped fuel accelerated double-digit sales growth this quarter, which was once again driven mainly by volume. Our performance provided the financial flexibility we sought to make appropriate investments in research and development, resulting in an unprecedented 16 new candidates entering the clinic in 2007 and the execution of several strategic in- licensing transactions. Looking ahead to 2008, Lilly is intent on building upon the success of the past year, while driving change, continuing productivity initiatives and achieving superior results under the leadership of John Lechleiter."
Fourth-Quarter Reported Results
Worldwide reported sales for the quarter were $5.190 billion, an increase of 22 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2006. Worldwide sales volume increased 15 percent, while exchange rates and selling prices contributed 4 and 3 percentage points of sales growth, respectively.
Gross margin as a percent of sales decreased by 0.5 percentage points, to 75.5 percent. This decrease was primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange rates and the expense resulting from the amortization of the intangible assets acquired in the ICOS acquisition, offset in part by manufacturing expenses growing at a slower rate than sales.
Overall, marketing, selling and administrative expenses rose 34 percent, to $1.756 billion. This increase was largely due to the impact of the ICOS acquisition, as well as increased marketing and selling expenses in support of key products, primarily Cymbalta and the diabetes care products, and the impact of foreign exchange rates. Research and development expenses were $953.6 million, or 18 percent of sales. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2006, research and development expenses grew 11 percent. In addition to the acquisition of ICOS, this growth was due to increases in discovery research and late-stage clinical trial costs.
Other income decreased by $70.6 million, to $32.1 million, primarily due to the acquisition of ICOS and higher net interest expense. Prior to the acquisition of ICOS, the results of the Lilly ICOS joint venture were presented in other income. Subsequent to the acquisition, all sales and expenses associated with Cialis are included in their respective lines on Lilly's income statement.
The reported effective tax rate was 18.8 percent, down from 38.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006. The reported effective tax rate of 18.8 percent was favorably impacted by changes in estimates of the anticipated tax rate benefit from our international operations in the fourth quarter of 2007. The 38.5 percent effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2006 was negatively impacted by the lower tax benefit associated with a fourth-quarter 2006 Zyprexa product liability charge.
Reported net income and earnings per share increased to $854.4 million and $.78, respectively, compared with fourth-quarter 2006 net income of $132.3 million and earnings per share of $.12 due primarily to fourth-quarter 2006 asset impairment, restructuring and Zyprexa product liability charges. Fourth- quarter 2007 reported results include a $.07 per share charge for asset impairments, restructuring and other special charges described in footnote (a) of the attached pro forma adjusted income statement, as well as a $.05 per share charge related to acquired in-process research and development associated with the MacroGenics and Glenmark in-licensing transactions.
Fourth-Quarter Pro Forma Adjusted Results
Worldwide pro forma sales for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $5.190 billion, an increase of 16 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2006. Worldwide pro forma sales volume increased 8 percent, while exchange rates and selling prices each contributed 4 percentage points of the sales growth. Gross margin as a percent of sales decreased by 0.6 percentage points, to 75.5 percent. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses and research and development expenses increased 23 percent and 7 percent, respectively. Total operating expenses grew 17 percent. Other income decreased $6.8 million. The effective tax rate was 20.4 percent.
Pro forma adjusted net income and earnings per share both grew 10 percent, to $986.4 million and $.90, respectively, as a result of cost of sales and marketing and administrative expenses in support of key growth products both growing at a faster rate than sales. Pro forma adjusted results exclude the charges noted in the table below. For further detail, see the reconciliation below as well as the footnotes to the pro forma adjusted income statement later in this press release.

Full-Year 2007 Reported Results
Worldwide reported sales for the full-year 2007 were $18.634 billion, an increase of 19 percent compared with 2006. Worldwide sales volume increased 12 percent, while exchange rates and selling prices each contributed 3 percentage points of sales growth, respectively. (Numbers do not add due to rounding).
Gross margin as a percent of sales decreased by 0.2 percentage points, to 77.2 percent. This decrease was primarily due to the expense resulting from the amortization of the intangible assets acquired in the ICOS acquisition, the impact of foreign exchange rates and production volumes growing at a slower rate than sales, partially offset by manufacturing expenses growing at a slower rate than sales.
Overall, marketing, selling and administrative expenses rose 25 percent, to $6.095 billion. This increase was largely due to the impact of the ICOS acquisition, as well as increased marketing and selling expenses in support of key products, primarily Cymbalta and the diabetes care products, and the impact of foreign exchange rates. Research and development expenses were $3.487 billion, or 19 percent of sales. Compared with 2006, research and development expenses increased 11 percent. In addition to the acquisition of ICOS, this increase was due to increases in discovery research and late-stage clinical trial costs.
Other income decreased by $115.8 million, to $122.0 million, primarily due to the acquisition of ICOS and higher net interest expense, offset in part by higher business development income resulting from out-licensing of development-stage products. Prior to the acquisition of ICOS, the results of the Lilly ICOS joint venture were presented in other income. Subsequent to the acquisition, all sales and expenses associated with Cialis are included in their respective lines on Lilly's income statement.
The reported effective tax rate was 23.8 percent, up from 22.1 percent in 2006.
Full-year 2007 reported net income and earnings per share both increased 11 percent to $2.953 billion and $2.71, respectively, compared with 2006 net income of $2.663 billion and earnings per share of $2.45. The 2007 and 2006 reported results include all charges listed in the reconciliation table below.
Full-Year 2007 Pro Forma Adjusted Results
Worldwide pro forma sales for the full-year 2007 were $18.706 billion, an increase of 14 percent compared with 2006. Worldwide pro forma sales volume increased 7 percent, while exchange rates and selling prices contributed 3 and 4 percentage points of the sales growth, respectively. Gross margin as a percent of sales decreased by 0.1 percentage points, to 77.2 percent. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses and research and development expenses increased 16 percent and 7 percent, respectively. Total operating expenses grew 12 percent. Other income increased by $97.1 million. The effective tax rate was 21.4 percent.
As a result of pro forma sales growing faster than operating expenses and higher other income, 2007 pro forma adjusted net income and earnings per share both grew 17 percent, to $3.863 billion and $3.54, respectively. Pro forma adjusted results exclude the charges noted in the table below.

Demand was essentially flat in the U.S. Zyprexa sales in international markets increased 10 percent, to $665.3 million, driven by the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

2008 Financial Guidance
The company confirmed its full-year 2008 financial guidance. For 2008, the company expects pro forma sales to grow in the mid- to high-single digits, driven primarily by increased volume and strong sales growth for Cymbalta, Cialis, Byetta, Alimta and Humalog. The company expects modest improvement in gross margin as a percent of sales, driven primarily by manufacturing expenses growing more slowly than sales. Total operating expenses are also expected to grow more slowly than sales, with growth in the mid-single digits. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses are expected to grow in the low-single digits, driven by investments in prasugrel, Cymbalta, Evista for invasive breast cancer risk reduction, Humalog and Byetta, offset by decreases in other areas. Research and development expenses are expected to grow in the high- single to low-double digits. Other income is expected to contribute less than $100 million. The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 23 percent. Capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $1.1 billion.
The company expects 2008 pro forma adjusted earnings per share to be within the range of $3.85 to $4.00. The pro forma adjusted earnings per share guidance excludes an estimated $.05 charge noted in the table below related to the in-licensing transaction with BioMS. Including this $.05 charge, the company expects reported earnings per share to be in the range of $3.80 to $3.95. See the reconciliation table below for further detail.
