Due to significant strategic actions taken by the company, financial results for 2009 and 2008 are presented on both a reported and a pro forma non-GAAP basis. Reported results were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and include all revenue and expenses recognized during the period. Pro forma non-GAAP results exclude significant items described in the reconciliation tables and also assume the ImClone acquisition was completed January 1, 2008. The pro forma non-GAAP results are presented in order to provide additional insights into the underlying trends in the company's business. The company's 2009 financial guidance is also being provided on both a reported and a pro forma non-GAAP basis.

"Lilly continues to deliver solid financial results notwithstanding the challenging global economic environment," said John C. Lechleiter Ph.D., Lilly's chairman and chief executive officer. "Our business remained strong in the second quarter, with volume-driven revenue growth, good operating leverage and double-digit EPS growth. Sales of Cymbalta and Alimta were particularly noteworthy this quarter, while movements in foreign exchange rates led to an improved gross margin percent. In addition, we continued to advance molecules into and through our pipeline, and now have 66 molecules in clinical development. We also received several important regulatory approvals, most notably Effient in the U.S. Based on these results, and our outlook for the remainder of the year, we have raised our full-year 2009 pro forma non-GAAP earnings per share guidance."

Significant Events Over the Last Three Months

    --  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Effient((TM))
        (prasugrel) tablets for the reduction of thrombotic cardiovascular
        events (including stent thrombosis) in patients with acute coronary
        syndromes who are managed with an artery-opening procedure known as
        percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The company and its partner,
        Daiichi Sankyo, Inc., plan to launch Effient in the U.S. by early
        August.
    --  The FDA approved Alimta((R)) as a maintenance therapy for locally
        advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), specifically
        for patients with a nonsquamous histology whose disease has not
        progressed after four cycles of platinum-based first-line chemotherapy.
    --  The European Commission granted approval for the use of Alimta as
        monotherapy for maintenance treatment of patients with other than
        predominantly squamous cell histology in locally-advanced or metastatic
        NSCLC, whose disease has not progressed immediately following
        platinum-based chemotherapy.
    --  Alimta received regulatory approval in Japan as both a first- and
        second-line treatment of NSCLC.
    --  The company and its partners Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Alkermes,
        Inc. submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA for exenatide
        once weekly. Exenatide once weekly is an investigational sustained
        release medication for type 2 diabetes that is injected subcutaneously
        and administered only once a week.
    --  The company resubmitted its supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for
        Cymbalta((R)) for the management of chronic pain to the FDA.
    --  The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana issued a
        preliminary injunction to prevent the launch of a generic version of
        Evista((R)) by Teva Pharmaceuticals until the Court renders its final
        ruling.

    --  The company began enrolling patients in two separate but identical Phase
        III clinical trials of solanezumab, an anti-amyloid beta monoclonal
        antibody being investigated as a potential treatment to delay the
        progression of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. The trials
        each include a treatment period that lasts 18 months and are expected to
        enroll a total of 2,000 patients age 55 and over from 16 countries.

Second-Quarter Reported Results

In the second quarter of 2009, worldwide total revenue was $5.293 billion, an increase of 3 percent compared with the second quarter of 2008. This 3 percent revenue growth was comprised of a 6 percent increase due to higher volume and a 3 percent increase due to higher prices, partially offset by a 7 percent decline due to the impact of foreign exchange rates (numbers do not add due to rounding). Worldwide total revenue of $5.293 billion was comprised of product sales of $5.113 billion, an increase of 2 percent, and collaboration and other revenue of $179.5 million, an increase of 54 percent, primarily due to the inclusion of Erbitux revenue as a result of the ImClone acquisition. U.S. total revenue increased 12 percent to $3.015 billion. Total revenue outside the U.S. decreased 8 percent to $2.278 billion due to the negative impact of foreign exchange rates.

Gross margin as a percent of total revenue increased by 5.4 percentage points, to 82.1 percent. This increase was due to the impact of the decline in foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar on international inventories sold during the quarter, resulting in a benefit to cost of sales as compared to the second quarter of 2008, and the inclusion in cost of sales of $57.1 million in expenses in the second quarter 2008 related to asset impairments at certain manufacturing facilities.

Marketing, selling and administrative expenses were essentially flat at $1.708 billion. These results were impacted favorably by the movement of foreign exchange rates and a reduction in advertising expenses in the U.S., offset by the impact of the ImClone acquisition and increased Effient pre-launch activities. Research and development expenses were $1.040 billion, or 20 percent of total revenue. Compared with the second quarter of 2008, research and development expenses grew 9 percent due primarily to the ImClone acquisition and increased late-stage clinical trial and discovery research costs, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates. Total operating expenses, defined as the sum of research and development, marketing, selling and administrative expenses, increased 4 percent compared with the second quarter of 2008.

The company is in advanced discussions with the attorneys general for several states that were not part of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania settlement, seeking to resolve their Zyprexa-related claims. In the second quarter of 2009, the company incurred a special pretax charge of $105.0 million, representing the currently probable and estimable exposures in connection with the states' claims. Discussions are ongoing, and it is possible that additional charges may occur in the future.

In the second quarter of 2008, the company recognized a charge of $35.0 million for acquired in-process research and development associated with the in-licensing transaction with TransPharma Medical and a charge of $88.9 million for restructuring (exit costs) and other special charges primarily associated with previously-announced strategic exit activities related to manufacturing operations.

Operating income increased 27 percent to $1.492 billion. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, operating income would have increased approximately 23 percent.

Other income (expense) decreased by $56.4 million, to a net expense of $24.1 million, primarily due to lower interest income and higher interest expense associated with the ImClone acquisition, as well as lower business development income.

The effective tax rate was 21.1 percent in the second quarter of 2009, up from 20.5 percent in the second quarter of 2008.

Net income and earnings per share increased 21 percent and 20 percent, respectively, to $1.159 billion and $1.06, compared with second-quarter 2008 net income of $958.8 million and earnings per share of $.88. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, earnings per share would have increased approximately 17 percent.

Second-Quarter Pro Forma non-GAAP Results

Worldwide pro forma total revenue for the second quarter of 2009 was $5.293 billion, an increase of 1 percent compared with the second quarter of 2008. This 1 percent revenue growth was comprised of a 4 percent increase due to higher volume and a 3 percent increase due to higher prices, partially offset by a 6 percent decline due to the impact of foreign exchange rates. Gross margin as a percent of total revenue increased by 4.6 percentage points to 82.1 percent. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses decreased 2 percent, while research and development expenses increased 5 percent. Total operating expenses, defined as the sum of research and development, marketing, selling and administrative expenses, grew 1 percent compared with the second quarter of 2008. Operating income increased 20 percent to $1.597 billion. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, operating income would have increased approximately 16 percent. Other income (expense) increased $12.9 million to a net expense of $24.1 million. The effective tax rate was 22.0 percent, up from 21.1 percent in the second quarter of 2008. Net income and earnings per share increased 20 percent and 19 percent, respectively, to $1.227 billion and $1.12 per share, primarily due to improved gross margins. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, earnings per share would have increased approximately 16 percent.

Second-Quarter Significant Items Affecting Reported Net Income

The reported results for the second quarters of 2009 and 2008 were affected by significant items totaling $.06 and $.11 per share, respectively. To reflect the impact of the ImClone acquisition as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2008, second quarter 2008 pro forma earnings per share have been reduced by $.05 per share. For further detail, see the reconciliation below as well as the footnotes to the pro forma non-GAAP income statement later in this press release.

Zyprexa

In the second quarter of 2009, Zyprexa sales totaled $1.203 billion, a decrease of 3 percent compared with the second quarter of 2008. U.S. sales of Zyprexa increased 3 percent to $582.2 million, driven by higher net effective selling prices. Zyprexa sales in international markets decreased 8 percent, to $621.0 million, driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by increased demand. Demand outside the U.S. was favorably impacted by the withdrawal of generic competition in Germany.

Cymbalta

For the second quarter of 2009, Cymbalta generated $744.4 million in sales, an increase of 14 percent compared with the second quarter of 2008. U.S. sales of Cymbalta increased 14 percent, to $621.3 million, driven by higher net effective selling prices and higher demand. Sales outside the U.S. were $123.2 million, an increase of 10 percent, driven primarily by higher demand, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

Humalog

For the second quarter of 2009, worldwide Humalog sales increased 9 percent, to $477.5 million. Sales in the U.S. increased 17 percent to $292.0 million, driven by higher net effective selling prices.

Gemzar

Gemzar sales totaled $353.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, a decrease of 20 percent from the second quarter of 2008. Sales in the U.S. increased 7 percent, to $195.6 million, due primarily to higher net effective selling prices and changes in wholesaler buying patterns. Sales outside the U.S. decreased 39 percent, to $157.6 million, due to reduced demand and lower prices as a result of the entry of generic competition in most major markets, as well as the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

Alimta

For the second quarter of 2009, Alimta generated sales of $385.3 million, an increase of 40 percent compared with the second quarter of 2008. U.S. sales of Alimta increased 53 percent, to $198.5 million, due to increased demand.

U.S. sales of Evista decreased 6 percent to $168.1 million, as a result of lower demand, partially offset by higher net effective selling prices. Sales outside the U.S. decreased 18 percent to $83.2 million, driven by the outlicensing of Evista in most European markets and, to a lesser extent, the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

Humulin

Worldwide Humulin sales decreased 9 percent in the second quarter of 2009, to $248.1 million. U.S. sales increased 4 percent to $95.1 million, due primarily to higher net effective selling prices, partially offset by lower demand. Sales outside the U.S. decreased 15 percent, to $153.0 million, driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

Forteo

Second-quarter sales of Forteo were $203.3 million, a 2 percent decrease compared with the second quarter of 2008. U.S. sales of Forteo increased 2 percent, to $132.0 million, driven by higher net effective selling prices, partially offset by the impact of wholesaler buying patterns and lower demand. Sales outside the U.S. decreased 8 percent, to $71.2 million, due to the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by higher demand.

Strattera

During the second quarter of 2009, Strattera generated $142.8 million of sales, an increase of 6 percent compared with the second quarter of 2008. U.S. sales increased 4 percent to $105.7 million, due to higher net effective selling prices, partially offset by lower demand.

For the second quarter, Lilly recognized total revenue of $99.7 million for Erbitux, comprised of collaboration revenue of $75.8 million and product sales of $23.9 million.

Animal Health

Worldwide sales of animal health products in the second quarter of 2009 were $275.4 million, an increase of 8 percent compared with the second quarter of 2008. U.S. sales grew 32 percent, to $154.2 million, primarily due to the inclusion of sales from the Posilac((R)) acquisition completed in October, 2008. Sales outside the U.S. decreased 12 percent, to $121.2 million, driven primarily by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

Year-to-Date Results

For the first six months of 2009, worldwide total revenue increased 4 percent on a reported basis and 2 percent on a pro forma basis, to $10.340 billion, compared with sales for the same period in 2008. Reported net income and earnings per share were $2.472 billion and $2.25, respectively. Net income and earnings per share, on a pro forma non-GAAP basis, were $2.540 billion and $2.31, respectively.

Year-to-Date Significant Items Affecting Net Income

In addition to the second-quarters 2009 and 2008 significant items previously mentioned, net income for the first six months of 2008 was also affected by significant items occurring in the first quarter of 2008. To reflect the impact of the ImClone acquisition as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2008, year-to-date 2008 pro forma earnings per share have been reduced by $.09 per share. For further detail, see the reconciliation below as well as the footnotes to the pro forma non-GAAP income statement later in this press release.

The company continues to expect low-single digit revenue growth on a pro-forma non-GAAP basis and mid-single digit revenue growth on a reported basis.

The company continues to expect gross margin as a percent of total revenue to increase for the full year, driven by the beneficial foreign exchange impact in the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008. For the second half of 2009, the company expects a decrease in gross margin as a percent of total revenue compared to the second half of 2008.

Marketing, selling, and administrative expenses are still projected to show flat to low-single digit growth. Research and development expenses are still projected to grow in the high-single digits on a pro forma non-GAAP basis and in the low-double digits on a reported basis.

Other income is still expected to be a net loss of between $200 million and $250 million, and the effective tax rate is still expected to be approximately 22 percent. Capital expenditures are still expected to be approximately $1.1 billion and the company still expects continued strong operating cash flow.

          $210.3 million, or $0.19 per share as a result of the resolution of
          a substantial portion of the IRS audit of its federal income tax
          returns for the years 2001 through 2004.
