Item 8.01 Other Events.

Estimated Third Quarter Acquired In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”) and Development Milestone Charges

Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”) currently expects that its reported financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and its non-GAAP financial results for the third quarter of 2022 will include acquired IPR&D and development milestone charges of approximately $62.4 million on a pre-tax basis, representing a charge of $0.06 to both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share. Lilly’s results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 have not been finalized and are subject to Lilly’s financial statement closing procedures. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from the preliminary estimates described herein.

As previously disclosed, while acquired IPR&D and development milestone charges may be incurred upon execution of collaborations, licensing agreements, and other asset acquisitions, Lilly does not forecast acquired IPR&D and development milestone charges due to the uncertainty of the future occurrence, magnitude, and timing of these transactions in any given period.

Lilly Website Notice

Lilly routinely posts important information for investors in the “Investors” section of its website, www.lilly.com. Lilly may use its website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Accordingly, investors should monitor the “Investors” section of Lilly’s website, in addition to following its press releases, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), public conference calls, presentations, and webcasts. Lilly may also use social media channels to communicate with investors and the public about its business, products and other matters, and those communications could be deemed to be material information. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, Lilly’s website or social media channels, is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains management’s current intentions and expectations for the future, including with respect to Lilly’s anticipated acquired IPR&D and development milestone charges for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and the related impact to Lilly’s GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share, all of which are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results may differ due to various factors, including those discussed in Lilly’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the SEC, and additional procedures Lilly will undertake to finalize its results for the period that could result in changes to Lilly’s preliminary estimates described herein. For additional information, please see Lilly’s filings with the SEC. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Except as is required by law, Lilly expressly disclaims any obligation to publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
