This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Form 10-Q) includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements, include, without limitation, statements concerning the impact on Elanco Animal Health Incorporated and its subsidiaries (collectively, Elanco, the Company, we, us or our) caused by the integration of Kindred Biosciences, Inc. (KindredBio) and the animal health business of Bayer Aktiengesellschaft (Bayer), expected synergies and cost savings, product launches, the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic, conflict involving Russia and Ukraine and the potential impact on our business and global economic conditions, reduction of debt, expectations relating to liquidity and sources of capital, our expected compliance with debt covenants, cost savings, expenses, and reserves relating to restructuring actions, our industry and our operations, performance and financial condition, and including, in particular, statements relating to our business, growth strategies, distribution strategies, product development efforts and future expenses.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, national, or global political, economic, business, competitive, market, and regulatory conditions, including but not limited to the following:
•heightened competition, including from generics;
•the impact of disruptive innovations and advances in veterinary medical practices, animal health technologies and alternatives to animal-derived protein;

See Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (2021 Form 10-K), and Part II of this Form 10-Q, for a further description of these and other factors. Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report. If any of these risks materialize, or if any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results and developments may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report. We caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this quarterly report speaks only as of the date hereof. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or to revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Note 1. Background

Elanco is a global animal health company that innovates, develops, manufactures and markets products for pets and farm animals. We offer a portfolio of approximately 200 brands to pet owners, veterinarians and farm animal producers in more than 90 countries. Our products are generally sold worldwide directly to wholesalers, distributors, and independent retailers. Certain products are also sold directly to farm animal producers and veterinarians. We have a diversified business of products across species consisting of: dogs and cats (collectively, pet health) and cattle, poultry, swine and aqua (collectively, farm animal).

Elanco was incorporated in Indiana on September 18, 2018, and prior to that was a business unit of Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly).

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requirements for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022 (2021 Form 10-K). In addition, results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year ending December 31, 2022 or any other future period.

In our opinion, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (including those that are normal and recurring) that are necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications of prior year information have been made to conform to the current year's presentation.

The significant accounting policies set forth in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of our accounting policies, except as it relates to goodwill and the adoption of the standard that was effective January 1, 2022 as described in Note 3: Implementation of New Financial Accounting Pronouncements.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. We evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually and when certain qualitative impairment indicators are present. When required, a comparison of fair value to the carrying amount of our single reporting unit is performed to determine the amount of any impairment. We begin by assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Based on that qualitative assessment, if we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we conduct a quantitative goodwill impairment test, which involves comparing the estimated fair value of our single reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. We estimate the fair value of our single reporting unit using a combination of the income and market approach. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, we recognize an impairment loss for the difference.

During the third quarter of 2022, a significant change in our market capitalization relative to our book value, among other factors, triggered a quantitative goodwill impairment test. As of September 30, 2022, our single reporting unit was tested for impairment using the quantitative approach described above, resulting in an estimated fair value that exceeded the carrying amount by more than 20%. Therefore, no impairment existed with respect to our goodwill.

Note 3. Implementation of New Financial Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of an accounting standard that was effective January 1, 2022 and was adopted on that date:
StandardDescriptionEffect on the financial statements or other significant matters
ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832)
The amendments in this update require annual disclosure of transactions with governments that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution model. The new pronouncement requires entities to provide information about the nature, terms and conditions associated with the transactions and the financial statement line items affected.The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The following table provides a brief description of an accounting standard that is applicable to us but has not yet been adopted:
StandardDescriptionEffective DateEffect on the financial statements or other significant matters
ASU 2020-04, Reference rate reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting; ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope
ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2021-01 clarifies the scope of Topic 848 so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions.Adoption of the guidance is optional and effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Adoption is permitted at any time during the period on a prospective basis.
Our current credit facilities reference London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as a benchmark rate. The underlying credit agreements include provisions which outline criteria for establishing a consistent replacement benchmark rate in the event that LIBOR is discontinued. Therefore, it is unlikely that we will need to adopt this optional guidance. However, we will continue to evaluate the impact as reference rate reform activities occur.

Note 4. Revenue

Our sales rebates and discounts are based on specific agreements. The most significant of our sales rebate and discount programs in terms of accrual and payment amounts, percentage of our products that are sold via these programs, and level of judgment required in estimating the appropriate transaction price, relate to our programs in the U.S., France and the United Kingdom (U.K.). As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the aggregate liability for sales rebates and discounts for these countries represented approximately 76% and 72%, respectively, of our total liability.

Note 5. Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Arrangements

KindredBio Acquisition

On August 27, 2021, we acquired KindredBio, a publicly traded biopharmaceutical company that developed innovative biologics focused on saving and improving the lives of pets. The acquisition further accelerates our pet health expansion, particularly by expanding our presence in dermatology.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The determination of estimated fair value requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets, where applicable, has been recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of the acquisition are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

2022 Q3 Form 10-Q | 13
elan-20220930_g1.jpg
Table of Contents
In connection with the merger agreement, we acquired all outstanding stock of KindredBio for $9.25 per share, or an aggregate cash purchase consideration of $444 million. We utilized our revolving credit facility and cash on hand to finance the acquisition.

On May 5, 2021, we signed an agreement with KindredBio to acquire exclusive global rights to KIND-030, a monoclonal antibody that is being developed for the treatment and prevention of canine parvovirus. We calculated the fair value of the liability associated with that agreement using an income approach leveraging the estimated sales royalty, sales milestone and technical milestone payments avoided, and settled the $29 million liability upon the closing of our acquisition of KindredBio.

Revenue and loss from KindredBio included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were immaterial.

The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

Estimated Fair Value at August 27, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents$31 
Other net working capital13 
Property and equipment33 
Intangible assets, primarily acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D)333 
Deferred income taxes, net(30)
Total identifiable net assets380 
Goodwill35 
Settlement of liability related to previous license agreement29 
Total consideration transferred$444 

The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was finalized during the third quarter of 2022. The measurement period adjustments recorded during 2022, which were made to reflect the facts and circumstances in existence as of the acquisition date, primarily related to changes in the estimated fair value of acquired IPR&D and minor tax and working capital adjustments. The net impact of these adjustments was not material.

Property and equipment is mostly comprised of land, buildings, equipment (including laboratory equipment, furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment), and construction in progress. The estimated fair value of real and personal property was determined using the sales comparison data valuation technique, to the extent that market data for similar assets was available. When market pricing data was not available for a given asset or asset class, the direct replacement cost method was used.

The estimated fair values of acquired IPR&D were determined using the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the significant assumptions inherent in the development of these asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset (including revenues, cost of sales, R&D expenses, marketing, selling and administrative expenses, and contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate necessary to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the life cycle of each asset, the potential regulatory and commercial success risk, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream, as well as other factors.

The goodwill recognized from this acquisition is primarily attributable to KindredBio's assembled workforce and expected synergies. The majority of goodwill associated with this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

Divestitures

Microbiome R&D platform carve-out

In April 2022, we signed an agreement to transfer assets associated with our microbiome R&D platform to a newly created, independent biopharmaceutical company, BiomEdit, focused on developing solutions for animal and human health. As part of the agreement, we retain a non-voting, minority stake in the company. Assets transferred include intellectual property and laboratory equipment. The book values of those assets were not material. In addition, we have entered into transitional services agreements with the company for certain services. We have determined that the disposal of the related net assets does not qualify for reporting as a discontinued operation because it does not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a gain on the disposal of approximately $3 million.

Shawnee and Speke

During 2021, as part of our strategy to optimize our manufacturing footprint, we announced an agreement with TriRx Pharmaceuticals (TriRx) to sell our manufacturing sites in Shawnee, Kansas (Shawnee) and Speke, U.K. (Speke), including the planned transfer of approximately 600 employees. In connection with these arrangements, we also entered into long-term manufacturing and supply agreements, under which TriRx will manufacture existing Elanco products at both sites upon the closing of the transactions. On August 1, 2021 and February 1, 2022, we completed the sales of our Shawnee and Speke sites, respectively. Upon closing the sale of the Speke site, we recorded a contract asset of $55 million for the favorable supply agreement, which is included in prepaid expenses and other and other noncurrent assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The divestitures did not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results, and therefore do not qualify for reporting as discontinued operations. See Note 6: Asset Impairment, Restructuring and Other Special Charges for further information.

Based on the terms of the agreements, we expect to receive aggregate gross cash proceeds of $78 million from the sales of Shawnee and Speke over a period of three years beginning in the second half of 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we received cash proceeds of $11 million. Receivables for the remaining expected cash proceeds are included in other receivables and other noncurrent assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

BexCaFe Arrangement

On June 9, 2022, we signed a license agreement with BexCaFe, LLC (BexCaFe) for the development and commercialization of products related to Bexacat, an oral treatment intended to reduce glucose levels in diabetic cats. BexCaFe held the rights to the compound through a license agreement with similar terms and conditions. We will incur all development and regulatory costs associated with the products. Based on the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation, we determined that BexCaFe represents a variable interest entity and that we are the primary beneficiary of BexCaFe because the terms of the license give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. As a result, we consolidated BexCaFe, a development-stage company with no employees that did not meet the definition of a business, as of the date we signed the license agreement. Upon initial consolidation of BexCaFe, we measured an IPR&D asset at its fair value of $59 million and recorded liabilities totaling $59 million, which included contingent consideration of $49 million based on the fair value of estimated future milestone payments and sales royalties owed under the license agreement. The initial fair value of the contingent payments was calculated based on an income approach, with payments adjusted for probability of success and then discounted to a present value. There is no minimum payout due on the contingent consideration and the maximum payout is unlimited. Since BexCaFe did not meet the definition of a business, no goodwill was recorded and immediately after initial consolidation, we expensed the IPR&D asset because we concluded that it did not have an alternative future use. This amount is included in asset impairment, restructuring, and other special charges in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

We paid $10 million to BexCaFe under the terms of this agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Contingent consideration liabilities of $49 million are included in other current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

Subsequent to the effective date of the license agreement, our condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of BexCaFe. Based on the guidance in ASC 810, income and expense between us and BexCaFe have been eliminated against the income or expense included in the financial statements of BexCaFe. The resulting amounts after the effect of these eliminations were included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and were not material.

Note 6. Asset Impairment, Restructuring and Other Special Charges

In recent years, we have incurred substantial costs associated with restructuring programs and cost-reduction initiatives designed to achieve a flexible and competitive cost structure. As discussed further below, restructuring activities primarily include charges associated with facility rationalization and workforce reductions. In connection with our recent acquisitions, including the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health, we have also incurred costs associated with executing transactions and integrating acquired operations, which may include expenditures for banking, legal, accounting, and other similar services. In addition, we have incurred costs to stand up our organization as an independent company. All operating functions can be impacted by these actions; therefore, non-cash expenses associated with our tangible and intangible assets can be incurred as a result of revised fair value projections and/or determinations to no longer utilize certain assets in the business on an ongoing basis.

For finite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets, whenever impairment indicators are present, we calculate the undiscounted value of projected cash flows associated with the asset, or group of assets, and compare it to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount is greater, we record an impairment loss for the excess of book value over fair value. Determinations of fair value can result from a complex series of judgments and rely on estimates and assumptions. See Note 2: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for discussion regarding estimates and assumptions.
2021 Restructuring Programs

In 2021, we announced two separate restructuring programs to improve operating efficiencies.

2022 Q3 Form 10-Q | 16
elan-20220930_g1.jpg
Table of Contents
The actions proposed in January 2021 focused on streamlining processes and delivering increased efficiency in functional areas, while improving the productivity of our investments in innovation. As part of the restructuring plan, we closed our R&D sites in Manukau, New Zealand and Cuxhaven, Germany. We also reduced duplication and optimized structures in U.S. operations, marketing, manufacturing and quality central functions, and administrative areas. The restructuring resulted in the elimination of approximately 315 positions around the world. Activities related to this initiative resulted in adjustments of $1 million to reduce severance accruals and net charges of $44 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The adjustments reflect a change in estimate resulting from negotiations. Restructuring charges under this program were substantially complete at the end of 2021.

The program announced in November 2021 included initiatives to consolidate certain international commercial operations into one organization, integrate our centralized global marketing organization into country level commercial organizations, transform and simplify our R&D organizational structure, and other organizational adjustments. In connection with the proposed restructuring, we eliminated 380 positions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded adjustments of $9 million to reduce severance accruals resulting from final negotiations and certain restructured employees filling open positions. Restructuring charges under this program were substantially complete as of September 30, 2022; however, we may continue to make adjustments to our severance accruals to reflect changes in estimates resulting from ongoing negotiations.

Components of asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges are as follows:

(1)2022 credits primarily relate to adjustments resulting from the reversal of severance accruals associated with the November 2021 program. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, charges primarily related to the restructuring program announced and initiated in January 2021. These costs were partially offset by the reversal of severance accruals associated with the January 2021 and September 2020 programs during the period.
(2)Transaction costs represent external costs directly related to acquiring businesses and primarily include expenditures for banking, legal, accounting and other similar services. Integration costs represent internal and external incremental costs directly related to integrating acquired businesses, including the acquisitions of KindredBio and Bayer Animal Health (e.g., expenditures for consulting, system and process integration, and product transfers), as well as independent company stand-up costs related to the implementation of new systems, programs, and processes.
(3)2022 includes a charge of $59 million related to the expensing of an IPR&D asset with no alternative future use licensed from BexCaFe during the second quarter. See Note 5: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Arrangements for further discussion. 2021 amounts represent the impact of adjustments to the fair value of certain IPR&D assets that were subject to product rationalization. The asset impairment charge during the three months ended September 30, 2021 reflects a decision by management to terminate an IPR&D project and fully impair the related asset, which was associated with a farm animal parasiticide. The decision was prompted by unfavorable efficacy results observed during the quarter.

(4)2022 amounts primarily include the finalization of the write-down charge upon the final sale of the Speke manufacturing site. Asset write-down charges recorded in 2021 included the initial adjustments recorded to write down the Shawnee and Speke assets classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2021 to an amount equal to estimated fair value less costs to sell, as well as adjustments to values of assets sold in relation to the Shawnee manufacturing site sold on August 1, 2021 and assets classified as held for sale in relation to the Speke manufacturing site during the three months ended September 30, 2021. See Note 5: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Arrangements for further discussion. Also included are charges recorded to write down assets in Belford Roxo, Brazil; Basel, Switzerland; Cuxhaven, Germany; and Manukau, New Zealand that were classified as held and used to their current fair value. These charges were recorded in connection with announced restructuring programs.
(5)Amounts recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 represent a $2 million measurement period adjustment to the charge associated with the settlement of a liability for future royalty and milestone payments triggered in connection with our acquisition of KindredBio. See Note 5: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Arrangements for further discussion. Amounts recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 include the initial charge associated with the settlement of the liability for future royalty and milestone payments triggered in connection with our acquisition of KindredBio, accounting and advisory fees related to the sale of our manufacturing site in Shawnee, and an $8 million charge related to a litigation settlement for a matter that originated prior to our acquisition of Bayer Animal Health. The amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 also includes the gain recorded on the divestiture of an early-stage IPR&D asset acquired as part of the Bayer Animal Health acquisition.

These reserves are included in other current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the timing of when the obligations are expected to be paid, which can vary due to certain country negotiations and regulations. As of September 30, 2022, we expect to pay approximately $34 million over the next 12 months. We believe that the reserves are adequate.

Note 7. Inventories

We state all inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We use the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for a portion of our inventories located in the continental U.S. Other inventories are valued by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or the weighted average cost method.

Note 8. Equity

Tangible Equity Unit (TEU) Offering

On January 22, 2020, we completed our offering of 11 million, 5.00% TEUs. Total proceeds, net of issuance costs, were $528 million. Each TEU, which has a stated amount of $50, is comprised of a prepaid stock purchase contract (prepaid stock) and a senior amortizing note due February 1, 2023. Subsequent to issuance, each TEU may be legally separated into the two components. The prepaid stock is considered a freestanding financial instrument, indexed to Elanco common stock, and meets the conditions for equity classification.

The value allocated to the prepaid stock is reflected net of issuance costs in additional paid-in capital. The value allocated to the senior amortizing notes is reflected in current portion of long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Issuance costs related to the amortizing notes are reflected as a reduction of the carrying amount and will be amortized through the maturity date using the effective interest rate method.

The proceeds from the issuance were allocated to equity and debt based on the relative fair value of the respective components of each TEU as follows:
Equity ComponentDebt ComponentTotal
Fair value per unit$42.80 $7.20 $50.00 
Gross proceeds$471 $79 $550 
Less: Issuance costs19 3 22 
Net proceeds$452 $76 $528 

The senior amortizing notes have an aggregate principal amount of $79 million and bear interest at 2.75% per year. On each February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 until the maturity date, we pay equal quarterly cash installments of $0.6250 per each amortizing note with an initial principal amount of $7.2007 (except for the first installment payment of $0.6528 per amortizing note paid on May 1, 2020). Each installment constitutes a payment of interest and partial payment of principal, and in the aggregate is equivalent to 5.00% per year with respect to the $50 stated amount per TEU.

Unless settled early at the holder’s or our election, each prepaid stock purchase contract will automatically settle on February 1, 2023 (the mandatory settlement date) for a number of shares of common stock per contract based on the average of the volume-weighted average trading prices during the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including the 21st scheduled trading day immediately preceding February 1, 2023 (applicable market value) with reference to the following settlement rates:
Applicable Market ValueCommon Stock Issued
Equal to or greater than $38.40
1.3021 shares (minimum settlement rate)
Less than $38.40, but greater than $32.00
$50 divided by applicable market value
Less than or equal to $32.00
1.5625 (maximum settlement rate)

The prepaid stock purchase contracts are mandatorily convertible into a minimum of 14 million shares or a maximum of 17 million shares of our common stock on the mandatory settlement date (unless redeemed by us or settled earlier at the unit holder's option). The 14 million minimum shares are included in the calculation of basic weighted average shares outstanding. The difference between the minimum and maximum shares represents potentially dilutive securities, which are included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding on a pro rata basis to the extent that the average applicable market value is higher than $32.00 but is less than $38.40 during the period. The entire additional 3 million shares are included in diluted weighted average shares outstanding if the applicable market value is at or below $32.00 and the impact is not anti-dilutive.

(1)In June 2022, we entered into an incremental assumption agreement with Bank of America, N.A. supplementing and amending our existing credit agreement dated August 1, 2020 relating to our senior secured credit facility. The incremental assumption agreement provides for a new incremental term facility with an aggregate principal amount of $175 million. The new incremental term facility bears interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR), including a credit spread adjustment, plus 175 basis points and is payable in full on June 30, 2025. The proceeds were used to repay a portion of our outstanding obligations under our revolving credit facility.

(2)In April 2022, we entered into an incremental assumption agreement with Farm Credit Mid-America, PCA supplementing and amending our existing credit agreement dated August 1, 2020 relating to our senior secured credit facility. The incremental assumption agreement provides for a new incremental term facility with an aggregate principal amount of $250 million maturing on April 19, 2029. The new incremental term facility bears interest at Term SOFR, including a credit spread adjustment, plus 175 basis points and will be payable in quarterly installments of principal and interest with a final balloon payment due on April 19, 2029. The proceeds were used to repay a portion of our outstanding obligations under our revolving credit facility.

(3)In September 2022, we repaid indebtedness outstanding under our Term Loan B. We paid $75 million in cash, composed of principal and accrued interest, resulting in a debt extinguishment loss of approximately $2 million recognized in interest expense, net of capitalized interest in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(4)In April 2022, we completed a tender offer and retired $406 million in aggregate principal amount of our 4.272% Senior Notes due August 28, 2023, resulting in a debt extinguishment loss of approximately $17 million recognized in interest expense, net of capitalized interest in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The repayment was funded with proceeds received from a draw under our revolving credit facility.

We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of September 30, 2022.

Note 10. Financial Instruments and Fair Value

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. We evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers on a regular basis, monitor economic conditions, and calculate allowances for estimated credit losses on our trade receivables on a quarterly basis using an expected credit loss model. We assess whether collectability is probable at the time of sale and on an ongoing basis. Collateral is generally not required. The risk associated with this concentration is mitigated by our ongoing credit-review procedures.

A large portion of our cash is held by a few major financial institutions. We monitor the exposure with these institutions and do not expect any of these institutions to fail to meet their obligations. All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. The cost of these investments approximates fair value.

We had investments without readily determinable fair values and equity method investments included in other noncurrent assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets totaling $28 million and $22 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Unrealized net gains and losses on our investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage the volatility related to these exposures, we have entered into various derivative transactions. We formally assess, designate and document, as a hedge of an underlying exposure, each qualifying derivative instrument that will be accounted for as an accounting hedge at inception. Additionally, we assess, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments used in the hedging transaction are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair values or cash flows of the underlying exposures. Derivative cash flows, with the exception of net investment hedges, are principally classified in the operating activities section of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, consistent with the underlying hedged item. Cash flows related to net investment hedges are classified in the investing activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. Our outstanding positions are discussed below.

Derivatives not designated as hedges

We may enter into foreign exchange forward or option contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating currency exchange rates. These derivative financial instruments primarily offset exposures in the Euro, British pound, Swiss franc, Brazilian real, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, and Chinese yuan. Foreign currency derivatives used for hedging are put in place using the same or like currencies and duration as the underlying exposures and are recorded at fair value with the gain or loss recognized in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Forward contracts generally have maturities not exceeding 12 months. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with aggregate notional amounts of $821 million and $1,212 million, respectively.

The amount of net losses on derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, recorded in other expense, net were as follows:

Foreign exchange forward contracts (1)
$(5)$(2)$(20)$(29)

(1)These amounts were substantially offset in other expense, net by the effect of changing exchange rates on the underlying foreign currency exposures.

Derivatives designated as hedges

We are subject to interest rate risk with regard to our existing floating-rate debt, and we utilize interest rate swap contracts to mitigate the variability in cash flows by effectively converting the floating-rate debt into fixed-rate debt. We recognize any differences between the variable interest rate payments and the fixed interest rate settlements with the swap counterparties as an adjustment to interest expense, net of capitalized interest over the life of the swaps. We have designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and record them at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Fair value is estimated based on quoted market values of similar hedges and is classified as Level 2. Our outstanding forward-starting interest rate swaps have maturities ranging between 2023 and 2025 with aggregate notional amounts of $3,050 million and $3,800 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The amounts of net gains on cash flow hedges recorded, net of tax, in other comprehensive income (loss), are as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2022202120222021
Forward-starting interest rate swaps$62 $4 $179 $52 

During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, net gains on cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) included gains of $75 million and $4 million, respectively, related to mark-to-market adjustments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, net gains on cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) included gains of $218 million and $52 million, respectively, related to mark-to-market adjustments.

In April 2022 and September 2022, we took advantage of market opportunities to restructure our interest rate swap portfolio. We unwound the existing swaps and simultaneously entered into new agreements with the same notional amounts and covering the same tenors. As a result, we received cash settlements of $132 million and $75 million in the respective periods. These gains were initially recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be reclassified to interest expense, net of capitalized interest over the period during which the related interest payments will be made.




2022 Q3 Form 10-Q | 22

Table of Contents
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we reclassified $13 million and $22 million, respectively, of gains relating to our terminated interest rate swaps from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net of capitalized interest. Additionally, as a result of the April 2022 interest rate swap settlement, other comprehensive income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included a $17 million reclassification of a stranded tax benefit from accumulated other comprehensive loss, based on our policy to reclassify income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive loss using the portfolio approach. Other than the reclassification of the stranded tax benefit, there was no tax effect recorded in relation to our cash flow hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 after the application of the U.S. valuation allowance. See Note 11: Income Taxes for further discussion.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we reclassified $2 million and $8 million, respectively, of net losses into interest expense, net of capitalized interest in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we reclassified $12 million and $22 million, respectively, of net losses into interest expense. Over the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify a gain of $106 million, which includes $103 million relating to the interest rate swap settlements, to interest expense, net of capitalized interest.

We were included in Lilly's U.S. tax examinations by the Internal Revenue Service through the full separation date of March 11, 2019. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement we executed with Lilly in connection with our initial public offering (IPO), the potential liabilities or potential refunds attributable to pre-IPO periods in which Elanco was included in a Lilly consolidated or combined tax return remain with Lilly. The U.S. examination of tax years 2016 to 2018 began in the fourth quarter of 2019 and remains ongoing. The resolution of this audit period will likely extend beyond the next 12 months.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized income tax expense of $7 million and $34 million, respectively. Our effective tax rate of (17.1)% and 315.6%, respectively, differs from the statutory income tax rate largely due to changes in earnings mix between periods resulting in projected losses in the U.S. and projected earnings outside of the U.S. The U.S. federal and state jurisdictions are subject to valuation allowances. Income tax expense was partially offset by beneficial net foreign currency gains, which are nontaxable in certain tax jurisdictions outside of the U.S. The income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was partially offset by the $17 million income tax benefit reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss due to the termination of interest rate swaps during the period and net foreign currency gains, which are nontaxable in certain tax jurisdictions outside of the U.S.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized an income tax benefit of $26 million and $71 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, our effective tax rate of 20.0% differs from the statutory income tax rate primarily due to preliminary accounting for the acquisition of KindredBio, which caused a partial release of the U.S. federal valuation allowance, as well as profits being located in jurisdictions with higher statutory tax rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our effective tax rate of 15.9% differs from the statutory income tax rate primarily because the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions are currently generating losses that are subject to valuation allowances.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

We are party to various legal actions in the normal course of business. We are not currently subject to a significant claim other than the lawsuits noted below.

On May 20, 2020, a shareholder class action lawsuit captioned Hunter v. Elanco Animal Health Inc., et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana (the Court) against Elanco and certain executives. On September 3, 2020, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff, and on November 9, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint adding additional claims against Elanco, certain executives, and other individuals. The lawsuit alleges, in part, that Elanco and certain of its executives made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose certain facts about Elanco’s supply chain, inventory, revenue and projections. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and purports to represent purchasers of Elanco securities between September 30, 2018 and May 6, 2020, and purchasers of Elanco common stock issued in connection with Elanco's acquisition of Aratana. We filed a motion to dismiss on January 13, 2021. On August 17, 2022, the Court issued an order granting our motion to dismiss the case without prejudice. On October 14, 2022, the plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to amend the complaint, and we intend to oppose the plaintiffs' motion. We believe the claims made in the case are meritless, and we intend to vigorously defend our position. The process of resolving these matters is inherently uncertain and may develop over an extended period of time; therefore, at this time, the ultimate resolution cannot be predicted.

On October 16, 2020, a shareholder class action lawsuit captioned Saffron Capital Corporation v. Elanco Animal Health Inc., et al. was filed in the Marion Superior Court of Indiana against Elanco, certain executives, and other individuals. On December 23, 2020, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding an additional plaintiff. The lawsuit alleges, in part, that Elanco and certain of its executives made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose certain facts about Elanco’s relationships with third party distributors and revenue attributable to those distributors within the registration statement on Form S-3 dated January 21, 2020 and accompanying prospectus filed in connection with Elanco’s public offering which closed on or about January 27, 2020. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and purports to represent purchasers of Elanco common stock or 5.00% TEUs issued in connection with the public offering. This case was previously stayed in deference to Hunter v. Elanco Animal Health Inc. On October 24, 2022, we filed a motion to dismiss. We believe the claims made in the case are meritless, and we intend to vigorously defend our position. The process of resolving these matters is inherently uncertain and may develop over an extended period of time; therefore, at this time, the ultimate resolution cannot be predicted.
Claims seeking actual damages, injunctive relief, and/or restitution for allegedly deceptive marketing have been made against Elanco Animal Health Inc. and Bayer HealthCare LLC, along with other Elanco and Bayer entities, arising out of the use of Seresto™, a non-prescription flea and tick collar for cats and dogs. During 2021, putative class action lawsuits were filed in federal courts in the U.S. alleging that the Seresto collars contain pesticides that can cause serious injury and death to cats and/or dogs wearing the product. The cases mention the existence of incident reports involving humans, but no plaintiff has claimed personal harm from the product. In August 2021, the lawsuits were consolidated by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, and the cases were transferred to the Northern District of Illinois. We are vigorously defending these lawsuits.

Further, in March 2021, a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee chair requested that Elanco produce certain documents and information related to the Seresto collar and further made a request to temporarily recall Seresto collars from the market. On June 15, 2022, the subcommittee held a hearing at which our President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) testified. During and after the hearing, the subcommittee chair repeated his request that Elanco voluntarily recall the collars and also requested that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) commence administrative proceedings that would allow the EPA to remove Seresto from the market.

2022 Q3 Form 10-Q | 24

Table of Contents
Seresto is a pesticide registered with the EPA. A non-profit organization submitted a petition to the EPA requesting that the agency take action to cancel Seresto’s pesticide registration and suspend the registration pending cancellation. The EPA is considering this petition and asked for public comment. We submitted a comment to the EPA supporting the safety profile of Seresto. Data and scientific evaluation used during the product registration process and through pharmacovigilance review supports the product’s positive safety profile and efficacy. Therefore, we believe no removal, recall, or cancellation of the pesticide registration is warranted, nor has it been suggested by any regulatory agency. We continue to stand behind the safety profile for Seresto, and it remains available to consumers globally.

In the third quarter of 2019, Tevra Brands, LLC (Tevra) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California, alleging that Bayer Animal Health (acquired by us in August 2020) had been involved in unlawful exclusive dealing and tying of its flea and tick products Advantage, Advantix, and Seresto and maintained a monopoly in the market. The complaint was amended in March 2020 and then dismissed in September 2020 with leave to amend. A second amended complaint was filed in March 2021 and realleges claims of unlawful exclusive dealing related to Advantage and Advantix and monopoly maintenance. A motion to dismiss the second amended complaint was denied in January 2022. Tevra’s demands include both actual and treble damages. We intend to defend our position vigorously. The process of resolving these matters is inherently uncertain and may develop over an extended period of time; therefore, at this time, the ultimate resolution cannot be predicted.

We are party to various other legal actions in the normal course of business. In determining whether a pending matter is significant for financial reporting and disclosure purposes, we consider both quantitative and qualitative factors in order to assess materiality. If a loss is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and may be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. We accrue for liability claims to the extent that it is probable we will incur a loss and we can formulate a reasonable estimate of the costs. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no material liabilities established related to litigation as there were no significant claims which were probable and estimable. We are not currently subject to a significant claim other than the lawsuits noted above.

Regulatory Matters

On July 1, 2021, we received a subpoena from the SEC relating to our channel inventory and sales practices prior to mid-2020. We have cooperated in providing documents and information to the SEC and will continue to do so. Management believes that its actions were appropriate.

Other Commitments

As of September 30, 2022, we have a lease commitment that has not yet commenced for our new corporate headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana. Total minimum lease payments are estimated to be approximately $378 million over a term of 25 years, excluding extensions. The increase in estimated minimum lease payments in comparison to prior periods is primarily due to higher expected construction and debt costs. Final lease payments may vary depending on the actual cost of certain construction activities. Lease commencement is expected in 2025.

The land for our new corporate headquarters is located in a Tax Increment Finance District, and the project is, in part, funded through Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) through an incentive agreement between us and the City of Indianapolis. The agreement provides for an estimated total incentive of $64 million to be funded by the City of Indianapolis in connection with the future tax increment revenue generated from the developed property. In December 2021, as part of a funding and development agreement entered into between us and the developer, we made a commitment to use the expected TIF proceeds towards the cost of developing and constructing the headquarters. In exchange, the developer reimbursed us up to the $64 million commitment in 2021. We expect to refund approximately $15 million to the developer within the next three months, and this amount is included in other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022. As a result, it is our expectation that our future lease payments will be reduced. The remaining accrued incentive is included in other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized over the lease term beginning at the commencement date and offset future rent expense.

Note 13. Geographic Information

We operate as a single operating segment engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing and sales of animal health products worldwide for both pets and farm animals. Consistent with our operational structure, our CEO, as the chief operating decision maker, makes resource allocation and business process decisions globally across our consolidated business. Strategic decisions are managed globally with global functional leaders responsible for determining significant costs/investments and with regional leaders responsible for overseeing the execution of the global strategy. Our global research and development organization is responsible for development of new products. Our manufacturing organization is responsible for the manufacturing and supply of products and for the optimization of our supply chain. Regional leaders are responsible for the distribution and sale of our products and for local direct costs. The business is also supported by global corporate staff functions. Managing and allocating resources at the global corporate level enables our CEO to assess the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources across functions, product types, regional commercial organizations and research and development projects in line with our overarching long-term corporate-wide strategic goals, rather than on a product or geographic basis. Consistent with this decision-making process, our CEO uses consolidated, single-segment financial information for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, as well as forecasting future period financial results.

Our products include AviPro™, Baytril™, Cydectin™, Catosal™, Denagard™, Maxiban™, Rumensin™, Pulmotil™, and other products for livestock and poultry, as well as Advantage™, Advantix™, Advocate™ (collectively referred to as the Advantage Family), Credelio™, Duramune™, Galliprant™, Interceptor™ Plus, Seresto, Trifexis™, and other products for pets.

We have a single customer that accounted for 12% and 11% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 11% and 9% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Product sales with this customer resulted in accounts receivable of $80 million and $74 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

We are exposed to the risk of changes in social, political and economic conditions inherent in foreign operations and our results of operations and the value of our foreign assets are affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

The components of net periodic benefit cost (income) other than service cost and net curtailments and settlements are included in other expense, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Net curtailments and settlements are included in asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 15. Loss Per Share

We compute basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the actual weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Elanco has variable common stock equivalents relating to certain equity awards in stock-based compensation arrangements and the TEU prepaid stock purchase contracts (see Note 8: Equity for further discussion). Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if holders of the unvested equity awards and unsettled TEUs converted their holdings into common stock. The weighted average number of potentially dilutive shares outstanding is calculated using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share (or reducing loss per share) are considered to be anti-dilutive and as such, these shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Basic and diluted loss per share are calculated as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2022202120222021
Net loss available to common shareholders$(49)$(104)$(23)$(375)

Diluted$(0.10)$(0.21)$(0.05)$(0.77)
(1)For periods with a reported net loss, dilutive common stock equivalents are not assumed to have been issued since their effect is anti-dilutive. As a result, basic and diluted weighted average shares are the same, causing diluted net loss per share to be equivalent to basic net loss per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, approximately 4.4 million and 3.7 million, respectively, of potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, approximately 2.6 million and 3.9 million, respectively, of potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.
(2)Due to rounding conventions, loss per share may not recalculate precisely based on the amounts presented within this table.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (MD&A) is intended to assist the reader in understanding and assessing significant changes and trends related to our results of operations and financial position. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this Item 2 of Part I of this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements. Various risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in "Forward-Looking Statements" of this Form 10-Q, in Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of Part II of this Form 10-Q, and in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of Part I of our 2021 Form 10-K, may cause our actual results, financial position, and cash generated from operations to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Further, due to the seasonality of our pet health sales, interim results are not necessarily an appropriate base from which to project annual results.

Overview

Elanco is a global animal health company that develops products for pets and farm animals in more than 90 countries. With a heritage dating back to 1954, we rigorously innovate to improve the health of animals and to benefit our customers while fostering an inclusive, cause-driven culture for our employees. We operate our business in a single segment directed at fulfilling our vision of enriching the lives of people through food, making protein more accessible and affordable, and through pet companionship, helping pets live longer, healthier lives.

On August 27, 2021, we acquired KindredBio, a biopharmaceutical company that developed innovative biologics focused on saving and improving the lives of pets. We had previously signed an agreement with KindredBio in the second quarter of 2021 to acquire exclusive global rights to KIND-030, a monoclonal antibody in development for the treatment and prevention of canine parvovirus. The acquisition of KindredBio further accelerates our opportunity for expansion in pet health, notably by expanding our research efforts in dermatology. See Note 5: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Arrangements to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the acquisition. Subsequent to the acquisition date, our consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of KindredBio.

On August 1, 2020, we completed the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health. The acquisition expanded our pet health product category, advancing our planned portfolio mix transformation and creating a better balance between our farm animal and pet health product categories. Our product portfolio and pipeline have been enhanced by the addition of Bayer Animal Health, which complements our commercial operations and international infrastructure.

We offer a diverse portfolio of approximately 200 brands that make us a trusted partner to pet owners, veterinarians and farm animal producers. Our products are generally sold worldwide to third-party distributors and independent retailers, and directly to farm animal producers and veterinarians. With the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health, we have expanded our presence in retail and e-commerce channels in order to meet pet owners where they want to purchase.

We operate our business in a single segment directed at fulfilling our vision of food and companionship enriching life – all to advance the health of animals, people and the planet. We advance our vision by offering products in these two primary categories:

Pet Health: Our pet health portfolio is focused on parasiticides, vaccines and therapeutics. We have one of the broadest parasiticide portfolios in the pet health sector based on indications, species and formulations, with products that protect pets from worms, fleas and ticks. Our Seresto and Advantage Family products are over-the-counter treatments for the elimination and prevention, respectively, of fleas and ticks, and complement our prescription parasiticide products, Credelio, Interceptor Plus, and Trifexis. Our vaccines portfolio provides differentiated prevention coverage for a number of important pet health risks and is available in the U.S. only. In therapeutics, we have a broad pain and osteoarthritis portfolio across species, modes of action, indications and disease stages. Pet owners are increasingly treating osteoarthritis in their pets, and our Galliprant product is one of the fastest growing osteoarthritis treatments in the U.S. Additionally, we have products that offer treatment for otitis (ear infections) with Claro, as well as treatments for certain cardiovascular and dermatology indications.

Table of Contents

Farm Animal: Our farm animal portfolio consists of products designed to prevent, control and treat health challenges primarily focused on cattle (beef and dairy), swine, poultry, and aquaculture (cold and warm water) production. Our products include medicated feed additives, injectable antibiotics, vaccines, insecticides, and enzymes, among others. We have a wide range of farm animal products, including Rumensin and Baytril, both of which are used extensively in ruminants (e.g., cattle, sheep and goats). In poultry, our Maxiban product, is a valuable offering for the control and prevention of intestinal disease.
A summary of our 2022 revenue and net income (loss) compared with the same period in 2021 is as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in millions)2022202120222021
Revenue$1,028 $1,131 $3,430 $3,652 
Net loss(49)(104)(23)(375)
We conduct business in more than 90 countries around the world and significant portions of our revenue and expenses are recorded in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, in any period, our reported revenue, expenses and resulting earnings (loss) are impacted by changes in the exchange rates of those currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

Increases or decreases in inventory levels at our channel distributors can positively or negatively impact our quarterly and annual revenue results, leading to variations in revenues. This can be a result of various factors, such as end customer demand, new customer contracts, heightened and generic competition, the need for certain inventory levels, our ability to renew distribution contracts with expected terms, our ability to implement commercial strategies, regulatory restrictions, unexpected customer behavior, proactive measures taken by us in response to shifting market dynamics, payment terms we extend, which are subject to internal policies, and procedures and environmental factors beyond our control, including weather conditions and the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Key Trends and Conditions Affecting Our Results of Operations

Industry Trends

The animal health industry, which includes both pets and farm animals, is a growing industry that benefits billions of people worldwide.

We believe that factors influencing growth in demand for pet medicines and vaccines include:

•increased pet ownership globally;
•pets living longer; and
•increased pet spending as pets are viewed as members of the family by owners.

As demand for animal protein grows, farm animal health is becoming increasingly important. We believe that factors influencing growth in demand for farm animal medicines and vaccines include:

•two in three people needing improved nutrition;
•increased global demand for protein, particularly poultry and aquaculture;
•natural resource constraints, such as scarcity of arable land, fresh water and increased competition for cultivated land, driving the need for more efficient food production;
•loss of productivity due to farm animal disease and death;
•increased focus on food safety and food security; and
•human population growth, increased standards of living, particularly in many emerging markets, and increased urbanization.

Growth in farm animal nutritional health products (enzymes, probiotics and prebiotics) is influenced, among other factors, by demand for antibiotic alternatives that can promote animal health and increase productivity.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Global Macroeconomic Environment

Our operations are conducted globally, and we sell our products in over 90 countries. As such, we are exposed to and are impacted by various global macroeconomic factors. Global economic conditions continue to create uncertainty, most notably due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and rising inflation. Continued evolution of these conditions has led to economic slowdowns in certain countries and/or regions. It has also led to volatility in consumer behavior, which has reduced demand due to consumption decreases and retailer destocking, particularly impacting our parasiticide products.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

In February 2022, Russia commenced military action against Ukraine. In response, the U.S. and certain other countries imposed and continue to impose significant sanctions and export controls against Russia, Belarus and certain individuals and entities connected to Russian or Belarusian political, business, and financial organizations. The U.S. and certain other countries could impose further sanctions, trade restrictions, and other retaliatory actions if the conflict continues or worsens. The broader consequences of the conflict, including related inflationary pressures, geopolitical tensions, additional retaliatory actions taken by the U.S. and other countries, and any counter retaliatory actions by Russia or Belarus in response, including, for example, potential cyberattacks or the disruption of energy and commodity exports, are likely to cause regional instability and could materially adversely affect global trade, currency exchange rates, regional economies and the global economy. The situation remains uncertain and it is difficult to predict the impact that the conflict and actions taken in response to the conflict will have on our business; however, they could increase our costs, disrupt our supply chain, reduce our sales and earnings, or otherwise adversely affect our business and results of operations.

As a global animal health leader, we have an obligation to support the health of animals and people. At the center of that work is ensuring access and availability of food. At this time, we are limiting our business in Russia to only the essential products that support these needs, while complying with all imposed sanctions. We do not manufacture products or source any materials from companies in Russia for use in our products, nor do we conduct business with the Russian government. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenue to Russian and Ukrainian customers represented approximately 1% of our consolidated revenue. Assets held in Russia as of September 30, 2022 represented less than 1% of our consolidated assets.

COVID-19 Pandemic

We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its variants, and the related economic effects on all aspects of our business, including impacts on our operations, supply chain, and customer demand. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our financial condition and results of operations remains uncertain and is dependent on developments that are out of our control, including measures being taken by authorities to mitigate against the spread of COVID-19, such as the lockdowns in China, the emergence of new variants and the availability and successful administration of effective vaccines and boosters. We cannot predict the impact that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will have on our employees, customers, vendors and suppliers; however, the COVID-19 pandemic has had and may continue to have an adverse impact on our business if these parties continue to experience negative effects.

2022 Q3 Form 10-Q | 30
elan-20220930_g1.jpg
Table of Contents
Supply Chain
We continue to experience disruption and volatility in our global supply chain network. This disruption, combined with increased demand for key raw materials and labor constraints, has also impacted our suppliers, resulting in shortages of raw materials or components required to manufacture our products. We continue to work closely with suppliers and freight partners to mitigate impacts to our operations and customers, including the addition of new transportation routes, targeted increases of certain safety stocks, and alternative sources of materials. Although we regularly monitor the financial health of companies in our supply chain, prolonged financial hardship on our suppliers and labor shortages could continue to disrupt our ability to obtain key raw materials, adversely affecting our operations. The global industry freight environment has experienced, and could continue to experience, lead time disruptions and high shipping costs, negatively impacting our profitability.

Inflation
We are experiencing, and expect to continue to experience, inflationary pressures due to, among other things, the geopolitical events and macroeconomic factors noted above. Increased inflation rates primarily impact us by increasing our costs, including raw materials, labor, energy, transportation, and other input costs, adversely affecting our profit margins, operating results, and cash flows.

Our Acquisitions of Bayer Animal Health and KindredBio

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur expenses in connection with our acquisitions of Bayer Animal Health and KindredBio, including fees for professional services such as legal, accounting, consulting, and other advisory fees and expenses. Expenses incurred in 2021 and thus far in 2022 are primarily related to integration activities. In addition, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur costs related to the build out of processes and systems to support finance and global supply and logistics and to expand administrative functions, including, but not limited to, information technology, facilities management, distribution, human resources, and manufacturing, to replace services previously provided by the former parent company of Bayer Animal Health. We anticipate that these additional costs will be partially offset by expected synergies.

Product Development and New Product Launches

A key element of our targeted value creation strategy is to drive growth through portfolio development and product innovation. We continue to pursue the development of new chemical and biological molecules through our approach to innovation. Our future growth and success depend on both our pipeline of new products, including new products that we may develop through joint ventures and products that we are able to obtain through license or acquisition, and the expansion of the use of our existing products. We believe we are an industry leader in animal health R&D, with a track record of product innovation, business development and commercialization.

Competition

We face intense competition. Principal methods of competition vary depending on the particular region, species, product category, or individual product. Some of these methods include new product development, including generic alternatives to our products, quality, price, service and promotion.

Our primary competitors include animal health medicines and vaccines companies such as Zoetis Inc.; Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., the animal health division of Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH; and Merck Animal Health, the animal health division of Merck & Co., Inc. We also face competition globally from manufacturers of generic drugs, as well as from producers of nutritional health products, such as DSM Nutritional Products AG and Danisco Animal Nutrition, the animal health division of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, a subsidiary of DowDuPont, Inc. There are also several new start-up companies working in the animal health area. In addition, we compete with numerous other producers of animal health products throughout the world.

Productivity

Our results during the periods presented have benefited from operational and productivity initiatives implemented following recent acquisitions and in response to changing market demand for antibiotics and other headwinds.

2022 Q3 Form 10-Q | 31
elan-20220930_g1.jpg
Table of Contents
Prior to the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health, our acquisitions within the last six years added in the aggregate $1.4 billion in revenue, 4,600 full-time employees, and 12 manufacturing and eight R&D sites. The acquisitions of Bayer Animal Health on August 1, 2020 and KindredBio on August 27, 2021 added 3,950 full-time employees, 10 manufacturing sites, and five R&D sites (before company-wide restructuring activities initiated in 2020 and 2021). In addition, from 2015 to 2021, changing market demand for antibiotics and other headwinds, such as competition with generics and innovation, affected some of our highest gross margin products, resulting in a change to our product mix and driving operating margin lower. In response, we implemented a number of initiatives across the manufacturing, R&D and marketing, selling and administrative functions. Our manufacturing cost savings strategies included improving manufacturing processes and headcount through lean manufacturing (minimizing waste while maintaining productivity), closing and selling manufacturing sites, consolidating our CMO network, strategically insourcing certain projects, and pursuing cost savings opportunities through alternate sources of supply. Additional cost savings have resulted from reducing the number of R&D sites, sales force consolidation and reducing discretionary and other general and administrative operating expenses.

Seasonality

The results of our pet health business may fluctuate due to seasonality. For example, based upon historical results, approximately 70% and 60% of total annual revenue contributed by our higher-margin parasiticide products Seresto and Advantage Family, respectively, has occurred during the first half of the year, which is reflective of the flea and tick season in the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, a period-to-period comparison of our historical results may not be meaningful and fluctuations in total revenue for our pet health products are not necessarily an indication of future performance.

Foreign Exchange Rates

Significant portions of our revenue and costs are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. Our products are sold in more than 90 countries and, as a result, our revenue is influenced by changes in foreign exchange rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, approximately 51% of our revenue was denominated in foreign currencies. As we operate in multiple foreign currencies, including the Euro, British pound, Swiss franc, Brazilian real, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, and other currencies, changes in those currencies relative to the U.S. dollar impact our revenue, cost of sales and expenses, and consequently, net income. These fluctuations may also affect the ability to buy and sell our products between markets impacted by significant exchange rate variances. Currency movements decreased revenue by 5% and 4% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same period in 2021. Currency movements increased revenue by 1% and 2% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same period in 2020.

(1)Constant exchange rate (CER), a non-GAAP measure, is defined as revenue growth excluding the impact of foreign exchange. The calculation assumes the same foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect for the comparable prior-year period were used in translation of the current period results. We believe this metric provides a useful comparison to previous periods.
(2)Represents revenue from arrangements in which we act as a contract manufacturer, including supply agreements associated with divestitures of products related to the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health.

(1)Impact of 2021 revenue from Bayer Animal Health is reflected in volume.

Revenue

Pet Health revenue decreased $56 million, or 11%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, driven by a decrease in volume and an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rates, partially offset by an increase in price. On a constant currency basis, the decrease of 7% was primarily attributable to lower volumes from the overall deterioration in global macroeconomic conditions, which particularly impacted parasiticide sales in Europe and the U.S. retail channel as well as increased competition related to certain parasiticide products. The impact was partially offset by growth in our global pain portfolio.

Pet Health revenue decreased $135 million, or 7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, driven by a decrease in volume and an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rates, partially offset by an increase in price. On a constant currency basis, the decrease of 4% was primarily attributable to lower volumes from increased competition related to certain parasiticide products as well as the overall deterioration in global macroeconomic conditions, which particularly impacted parasiticide sales in the U.S. retail channel. The impact was partially offset by growth in our global pain portfolio.

Farm Animal revenue decreased by $38 million, or 7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, driven by an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rates and a decrease in volume, partially offset by an increase in price. On a constant currency basis, revenue was flat due to increased demand for poultry products and strong aqua sales, fully offset by supply constraints related to certain cattle vaccines in the U.S. and a continued decline in demand in the international swine market, particularly in Asia.

Farm Animal revenue decreased by $61 million, or 4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, driven by an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rates and a decrease in volume, partially offset by an increase in price. On a constant currency basis, growth was driven by increased demand for aqua and poultry products, as well as increased demand for ruminant products internationally, most notably sheep products. These increases were partially offset by a continued decline in swine, particularly driven by market conditions in Asia and to a lesser extent competition in Europe, as well as the impact of generic competition on price for certain cattle brands and the impact of supply chain disruptions.

Cost of sales$472 $502 (6)%$1,465 $1,622 (10)%
% of revenue46 %44 %43 %44 %

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to inflationary impacts on input costs, freight and conversion costs and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by price increases for certain products and improvements in manufacturing productivity.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to amortization of the fair value adjustment of $64 million recorded from the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health in 2021. Excluding the $64 million fair value adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cost of sales as a percentage of revenue would have been approximately 43%.

For additional information regarding our asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges, see Note 6: Asset Impairment, Restructuring and Other Special Charges to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges decreased $85 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to certain nonrecurring charges recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2021, including a $50 million impairment charge for an IPR&D asset that was subject to product rationalization as a result of observed efficacy results, a $26 million charge to establish a liability for future royalty and milestone payments relating to our canine parvovirus license agreement with KindredBio, and an $8 million charge related to a litigation settlement for a matter that originated prior to our acquisition of Bayer Animal Health.

Table of Contents
Asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges decreased $360 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, due in part to a $99 million period over period decrease in severance charges and overall acquisition-related expenses. See Note 6: Asset Impairment, Restructuring and Other Special Charges for further discussion. Also contributing to the decrease are certain nonrecurring charges recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, including a $271 million charge to write down assets at our Shawnee and Speke manufacturing sites that were classified as held for sale to an amount equal to fair value less costs to sell, a $50 million impairment charge for an IPR&D asset that was subject to product rationalization as a result of observed efficacy results, and a $26 million charge to establish a liability for future royalty and milestone payments relating to our canine parvovirus license agreement with KindredBio, and an $8 million charge related to a litigation settlement for a matter that originated prior to our acquisition of Bayer Animal Health. These decreases were partially offset by $26 million of nonrecurring pension curtailment gains recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as well as a $28 million asset write-down charge recorded upon the final sale of our Speke manufacturing site and a one-time charge of $59 million related to the expensing of an IPR&D asset licensed from BexCaFe during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 5: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Arrangements for further discussion.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest was flat for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The impact of refinancing at lower interest rates was fully offset by a $2 million debt extinguishment loss recorded upon the retirement of a portion of the aggregate principal on our Term Loan B during the period and higher interest on variable-rate debt due to increases in rates.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest decreased $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the favorable impact of refinancing at lower interest rates, partially offset by $19 million in debt extinguishment losses recorded upon the retirement of a portion of the aggregate principal on our 4.272% Senior Notes due August 28, 2023 and our Term Loan B during the period, and higher interest on variable-rate debt due to increases in rates.

See Note 14: Retirement Benefits to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion related to net periodic benefit cost (income) recorded during the period. Other expense recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily consisted of mark-to-market adjustments on equity investments and foreign exchange losses, partially offset by certain components of net periodic benefit income.

Other expense recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily consisted of foreign exchange losses and mark-to-market adjustments on equity investments, partially offset by up-front payments received in relation to license and asset assignment agreements, the gain recognized on the disposal of our microbiome R&D platform, as well as certain components of net periodic benefit cost. See Note 14: Retirement Benefits to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion related to net periodic benefit cost (income) recorded during the period. Other expense recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily consisted of mark-to-market adjustments on equity investments, losses recorded in relation to divestitures, and foreign exchange losses, partially offset by certain components of net periodic benefit income, an up-front payment received in relation to an asset assignment agreement, and up-front payments received, milestones earned, and equity issued to us in relation to a license agreement.

Effective tax rate(17.1)%20.0 %315.6 %15.9 %

Income tax expense increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to changes in earnings mix which caused the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions to generate losses, which are subject to valuation allowances. The effective tax rate decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 driven by adjustments in jurisdictional earnings mix resulting in taxable earnings outside of the U.S. and taxable losses in the U.S. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased due to adjustments in jurisdictional earnings mix resulting in taxable earnings outside of the U.S. and taxable losses in the U.S., partially offset by the income tax benefit due to the termination of interest rate swaps during the period and net foreign currency gains, which are nontaxable in certain tax jurisdictions outside of the U.S. See Note 11: Income Taxes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows from operations and funds available under our credit facilities. As a significant portion of our business is conducted internationally, we hold a significant portion of cash outside of the U.S. We monitor and adjust the amount of foreign cash based on projected cash flow requirements. Our ability to use foreign cash to fund cash flow requirements in the U.S. may be impacted by local regulations and, to a lesser extent, following U.S. tax reforms, the income taxes associated with transferring cash to the U.S. We intend to indefinitely reinvest foreign earnings for continued use in our foreign operations. As our structure evolves as a standalone company, we may change that strategy, particularly to the extent we identify tax efficient reinvestment alternatives for our foreign earnings or change our cash management strategy.

We believe our primary sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund our short-term and long-term existing and planned capital requirements, which include working capital obligations, funding existing marketed and pipeline products, capital expenditures, business development in our targeted areas, short-term and long-term debt obligations which include principal and interest payments as well as interest rate swaps, operating lease payments, purchase obligations, and costs associated with the integrations of Bayer Animal Health and KindredBio. In addition, we have the ability to access capital markets to obtain debt refinancing for longer-term funding, if required, to service our long-term debt obligations. Further, we believe we have sufficient cash flow and liquidity to remain in compliance with our debt covenants.

Our ability to meet future funding requirements may be impacted by macroeconomic, business and financial volatility. As markets change, we will continue to monitor our liquidity position. However, a challenging economic environment or an economic downturn may impact our liquidity or ability to obtain future financing. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors - We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful" in Part I of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased $179 million to $439 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $260 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in net income after adjusting for non-cash items as well as proceeds of $207 million from interest rate swap settlements. These increases were partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions as compared to the prior year. In the past, we have extended our payment terms for distributors on occasion. Although we presently have no plans to do so in the future, it is possible that we will need to extend payment terms in certain situations as a result of the COVID-19 global health pandemic, competitive pressures, macroeconomic factors and the need for certain inventory levels at our channel distributors to avoid supply disruptions. If so, such extensions of customer payment terms could result in additional uses of our cash flow.

Investing activities

Our cash used for investing activities was $103 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $456 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by cash paid for the acquisition of KindredBio during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as well as a year over year decrease in cash paid for purchases of intangible assets. These decreases were partially offset by a year over year increase in cash used for purchases of software and property and equipment.

Financing activities

Our cash used for financing activities was $465 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $166 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Cash used for financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily reflected the tender offer completed during the period as well as net repayments on our revolving credit facility and the repayment of indebtedness outstanding under our term loan B credit facility, partially offset by proceeds from our newly issued incremental term facilities. Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily reflected proceeds from our borrowings under our debt financing arrangement with Farm Credit Mid-America, PCA, and net proceeds from our revolving credit facility, partially offset by the repayment of indebtedness outstanding under our Senior Notes.

Description of Indebtedness

For a complete description of our existing debt and available credit facilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, see Note 9: Debt within Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of Part II of our 2021 Form 10-K. New developments are discussed in Note 9: Debt of this Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents
Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations and commitments as of September 30, 2022 are primarily comprised of long-term debt obligations, operating leases, and purchase obligations. Our long-term debt obligations are comprised of our expected principal and interest obligations and our interest rate swaps. Purchase obligations consist of open purchase orders as of September 30, 2022 and contractual payment obligations with significant vendors which are noncancelable and are not contingent. These obligations are primarily short-term in nature.

As of September 30, 2022, we also have an additional lease commitment that has not yet commenced for our new corporate headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana. Total minimum lease payments are estimated to be approximately $378 million over a term of 25 years, excluding extensions. Final lease payments may vary depending on the actual cost of certain construction activities. Lease commencement is expected in 2025.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical because these policies are the most important to the depiction of our financial statements and require significant, difficult or complex judgments by us, often requiring the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results that differ from our estimates could have an unfavorable effect on our financial position and results of operations. We apply estimation methodologies consistently from year to year. Such policies are summarized in Item 7, "Management's Discussion & Analysis of Results of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," of our 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes or developments in the application of our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, except as it relates to below:

Goodwill Impairment Testing

We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and when certain qualitative impairment indicators are present that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our single reporting unit below its carrying amount.
In the third quarter of 2022, a significant change in our market capitalization relative to our book value, among other factors, triggered a goodwill impairment review. Based on our qualitative assessment, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit was less than its carrying value, and therefore, we were required to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test, which involved comparing the estimated fair value of our single reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. We estimate fair value of our single reporting unit using a combination of the income and market approach.

Significant management judgment is required in estimating our reporting unit’s fair value and in the creation of forecasts of future operating results that are used in the discounted cash flow method of valuation. These include, but are not limited to, estimates and assumptions regarding (1) our future cash flows, revenue, and other profitability measures, (2) the long-term growth rate of our business, and (3) the determination of our weighted-average cost of capital, which is a factor in determining the discount rate. We make these judgments based on our historical experience, relevant market size, historical pricing of similar products, and expected industry trends. These assumptions are subject to change in future periods because of, among other things, additional information, financial information based on further historical experience, changes in competition, our investment decisions, volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, results of research and development, and changes in macroeconomic conditions, including rising interest rates and inflation. A change in these assumptions or the use of alternative estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the estimated fair value and may expose us to goodwill impairment losses.

As a result of our quantitative assessment, we estimated that the fair value of our single reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount by more than 20% as of September 30, 2022 and, therefore, no impairment existed with respect to our goodwill. However, our reporting unit remains at risk for future goodwill impairment as it is reasonably possible that changes in any of the factors identified above could have a material impact on one or more of the estimates and assumptions used to evaluate goodwill for impairment.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Exchange Risk

We operate on a global basis and are exposed to the risk that our earnings, cash flows and equity could be adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We are primarily exposed to foreign exchange risk with respect to net assets denominated in the Euro, British pound, Swiss franc, Brazilian real, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, and Chinese yuan.

We face foreign currency exchange exposures when we enter into transactions arising from subsidiary trade and loan payables and receivables denominated in foreign currencies. We also face currency exposure that arises from translating the results of our global operations to the U.S. dollar at exchange rates that have fluctuated from the beginning of the period. We may enter into foreign currency forward or option derivative contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating currency exchange rates in future periods.

We estimate that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in all foreign currency exchange rates related to the translation of the results of our foreign operations would decrease our net income by approximately $14 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

We generally identify hyperinflationary markets as those markets whose cumulative inflation rate over a three-year period exceeds 100%. We have concluded that our Argentina subsidiary is operating in a hyperinflationary market. As a result, beginning in the second quarter of 2018, the functional currency of our Argentina subsidiary changed from the local currency to the U.S. dollar. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenue in Argentina represented less than 1% of our consolidated revenue. Assets held in Argentina as of September 30, 2022 represented less than 1% of our consolidated assets.

During the first quarter of 2022, Turkey’s three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100%, and we concluded that Turkey became a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes. As of April 1, 2022, we applied hyperinflationary accounting for our subsidiary in Turkey and changed its functional currency from the Turkish lira to the U.S. dollar. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenue in Turkey represented less than 1% of our consolidated revenue. Assets held in Turkey as of September 30, 2022 represented less than 1% of our consolidated assets.

While the hyperinflationary conditions did not have a material impact on our business during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, in the future, we may incur larger currency devaluations, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Interest Risk

Our variable-rate debt is exposed to interest rate fluctuations based on LIBOR and Term SOFR. As of September 30, 2022, we held certain interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $3,050 million that have the economic effect of modifying our variable interest such that a portion of the variable-rate interest payable becomes fixed. As of September 30, 2022, $4,158 million and $1,811 million of our total long-term debt, including the current portion, is fixed-rate debt (including variable-rate converted to fixed-rate through the use of interest rate swaps) and unhedged variable-rate debt, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a gain of $179 million, net of taxes on these interest rate swaps in other comprehensive income (loss). See Note 10: Financial Instruments and Fair Value to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under applicable SEC regulations, management of a reporting company, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, must periodically evaluate the company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined generally as controls and other procedures of a reporting company designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the reporting company in its periodic reports filed with the SEC (such as this Form 10-Q) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis.

Our management, with the participation of Jeffrey N. Simmons, president and chief executive officer, and Todd S. Young, executive vice president and chief financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. Based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b)Changes in Internal Controls. During the third quarter of 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
