NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Tables present dollars and shares in millions, except per-share and per-unit data)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the 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, 2025, included in our 2025 Form 10-K. The significant accounting policies set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2025 Form 10-K and the footnotes herein appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of our accounting policies.

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. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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, 2026, or any other future period.

Note 2. New Financial Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to provide more detailed and disaggregated information about significant expense categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization and selling expenses. This standard, including related updates, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently assessing the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on our consolidated financial statements, including our footnote disclosures.

(1)Represents revenue from arrangements in which we manufacture products on behalf of a third party and royalty revenue. Royalty revenue sold to a third party in May 2025 totaled $9 million and $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $18 million and $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. While we are no longer entitled to these royalties, we are required under GAAP to continue recognizing them as revenue. See Note 10. Liability for Sale of Future Revenue for additional information.

The following table summarizes our revenue disaggregated by geographic area:

Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
2026202520262025

International7056481,4711,287
Revenue$1,368$1,241$2,739$2,434

We have a single customer that accounted for approximately 12% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Product sales with this customer resulted in accounts receivable of$131 million and$107 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions

AHV International: On April 30, 2026, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity interests of AHV International B.V. (AHV), along with selected assets of AHV's affiliates necessary for the ongoing operations of the business, for total estimated purchase consideration of $243 million. AHV is an innovative, farm animal health company incorporated in the Netherlands focused on solutions to improve animal welfare and productivity, while reducing the need for antibiotics. The acquisition of AHV is expected to accelerate our strategy to grow our industry leadership in farm animal products, particularly for cattle, by expanding our product portfolio, primarily throughout Europe and the U.S.

The AHV acquisition 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 has been recorded as goodwill.

The composition of the purchase price was as follows:

Cash consideration paid upon closing$76
Deferred cash consideration due through 2030(1)100
Fair value of contingent consideration67
Total purchase consideration$243

(1)Approximately $60 million and $20 million of the deferred cash consideration due through 2030 is payable in January 2027 and January 2028, respectively.

Contingent consideration for this acquisition includes up to$140 million of payments due upon the achievement of significant performance-based and time-limited milestones through 2032. The initial fair value of the contingent consideration liability of $67 million was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which represents a Level 3 measurement under the fair value measurement hierarchy (see Note 9. Fair Value for further information).

2026 Q2 Form 10-Q | 10

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change, including the valuation of the contingent consideration, intangible assets and goodwill, among other items. The final determination of these amounts will be completed no later than one year from the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

Inventories$3
Prepaid expenses and other9
Property and equipment, net2
Finite-lived intangible assets139
Total identifiable assets acquired153
Accounts payable3
Other current liabilities8
Deferred tax liability36
Total liabilities assumed47
Total identifiable net assets acquired106
Goodwill137
Total consideration transferred$243

The acquired finite-lived intangible assets primarily consisted of customer relationships ($74 million), marketed products ($53 million) and trade names ($11 million), which are being amortized over a weighted-average useful life of approximately 11 years on a straight-line basis. Goodwill recognized in connection with this transaction represents the value of an expanded customer base, new product offerings and expected synergies. We expect that the majority of goodwill associated with this acquisition is not deductible for local tax purposes. The results of operations for AHV have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. Revenues attributable to AHV during the three months ended June 30, 2026, were not material.

Divestitures

New Zealand manufacturing facility: In February 2025, we sold our manufacturing facility in Manukau, New Zealand, to a third party for cash proceeds of $9 million. Assets divested included property and equipment related to the facility and inventory. Additionally, approximately 50 individuals were transferred to the new owners as part of the divestiture. This transaction did not result in a material gain or loss on divestiture.

Note 5. Asset Impairment, Restructuring and Other Special Charges

In recent years, we have incurred substantial costs associated with restructuring programs and cost-reduction initiatives. Restructuring activities have primarily included charges associated with business and facility rationalizations and workforce reductions. We have also incurred costs associated with executing acquisitions, divestitures and other significant transactions and related integration and/or separation activities. Components of asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges were as follows:

(1)Non-cash charges in 2026 related to $15 million of non-cash shut-down costs for the animal studies portion of our R&D facilities in Monheim, Germany, recorded in the first quarter of 2026.

(2)Other items in 2025 primarily related to upfront payments made in relation to new licensing arrangements.

Cash paid and other (1)(40)
Balance at June 30, 2026$86

(1)Includes foreign currency translation adjustments.

The timing of payment of restructuring reserve obligations varies due to country-specific negotiations and regulations. As of June 30, 2026, approximately$80 million of our restructuring reserve was classified within other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, with the remainder classified within other noncurrent liabilities.

Less current portion of long-term debt and finance lease liability7374
Total long-term debt and finance lease liability$3,845$3,943

(1)Our Revolving Credit Facility provides up to $750 million in borrowing capacity, bears interest at Term SOFR plus a spread dependent on our Net Total Leverage Ratio, as defined within the agreement, which was 1.50% at June 30, 2026, and matures in July 2029.

(2)Our Securi tization Facility is secured and collateralized by our U.S. Net Eligible Receivables Balance, bears interest at Term SOFR plus 1.25% and matures in June 2028. Our borrowing capacity under our Securitization Facility is subject to monthly fluctuation based on the level of our borrowing base as reported to the lender. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we borrowed $50 million on our Securitization Facility for general corporate purposes and to complete the acquisition of AHV (see Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures), which we subsequently repaid prior to June 30, 2026.

(3)Our Senior Notes due 2028 are subject to interest rate adjustments based on credit rating agency actions. A rating upgrade in the fourth quarter of 2025 reduced the applicable interest rate, and as of June 30, 2026, these notes bear interest at a rate of 6.40%.

As of June 30, 2026, approximately 80% of our long-term indebtedness, excluding our finance lease liability, bore interest at a fixed rate, including variable-rate debt converted to fixed-rate through the use of interest rate swaps (see Note 8. Financial Instruments for additional information). We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of June 30, 2026.

2026 Q2 Form 10-Q | 12

Note 8. Financial Instruments

To manage our exposure to market risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates and variable interest rates, we have entered into various derivative transactions. We do not offset derivative assets and liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our outstanding positions are discussed below.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

We may enter into foreign currency exchange forward or option contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts with aggregate notional amounts of$1,028 million and $1,090 million, respectively. The amounts ofnet gains on derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, recorded in other (income) expense, net were as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
2026202520262025
Foreign exchange forward contracts (1)$17$9$16$24

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

Derivatives Designated as Hedges – Net investment hedges

At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had a series of cross-currency fixed interest rate swaps to help mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on our operations in Switzerland with a combined 1,000 million CHF notional amount with tenors in 2026 and 2027. These instruments were determined to be, and were designated as, effective economic hedges of net investments in our CHF denominated net assets. In July 2026, we extended the maturity of 200 million CHF notional amount originally due in August 2026 by replacing them with new fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps with tenors in 2031.

The amounts of gains (losses) on net investment hedges, net of tax, recorded inaccumulated other comprehensive loss were as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
2026202520262025
Cross-currency fixed interest rate swaps$12$(133)$20$(157)

During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, these instruments also generated$23 million and $22 million of interest income, respectively, which was included as a contra interest expense, net of capitalized interest in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Derivatives Designated as Hedges – Interest rate swaps

We had outstanding interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of$2,300 million as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which have scheduled maturities in August 2026. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we also had forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with a combined notional amount of $1,450 million and $850 million, respectively, which will become effective in August 2026, and have scheduled maturities between 2027 and 2031.

The amounts of gains (losses) on interest rate swaps, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss were as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
2026202520262025
Interest rate swaps$9$(5)$16$(21)

The amounts of (losses) gains reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized into earnings through interest expense, net of capitalized interest were as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
2026202520262025
Interest rate swaps$(5)$11$(10)$24

Over the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify again of$5 million out of accumulated other comprehensive loss and into interest expense, net of capitalized interest related to our interest rate swaps, although the actual amounts reclassified may vary as a result of future changes in market conditions.

As of June 30, 2026, when factoring in the impact from our interest rate swaps, the weighted-average effective interest rate on our outstanding indebtedness, excluding our finance lease liability, was 5.79%.

Note 9. Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a framework that utilizes the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. Level 1 fair value measurements are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We determine our Level 2 fair value measurements based on a market approach using quoted market values or significant other observable inputs for identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Our Level 3 fair value measurements are based on unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity.

The following table summarizes the fair value information at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the respective balance sheet line items, as well as long-term debt, excluding our finance lease liability, for which fair value is disclosed on a recurring basis:

Long-term debt, excluding finance lease liability(3,790)—(3,809)—(3,809)

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

As of June 30, 2026, liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs consisted of contingent consideration liabilities resulting from our acquisitions of AHV and NutriQuest, LLC. The contingent consideration liability related to our acquisition of AHV at June 30, 2026, was approximately $67 million (see Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures for further information) and approximately $19 million related to our past acquisition of NutriQuest, LLC (also included in December 31, 2025). Payment of the contingent consideration is subject to the achievement of specified development, geographic, and net sales milestones, as set forth in the respective purchase agreements. The fair values of these liabilities were estimated using Monte Carlo simulation models, consisting of inputs not observable in the market, including estimates relating to revenue projections, discount rates, and volatility.

We also had investments without readily determinable fair values which were classified as other noncurrent assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets totaling$13 million and $15 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These investments are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, and as such, are not included in the fair value table above.

2026 Q2 Form 10-Q | 14

Note 10. Liability for Sale of Future Revenue

In May 2025, we executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) with funds affiliated with Blackstone Life Sciences and Blackstone Credit & Insurance (collectively, Blackstone). Pursuant to the PSA, we received a cash payment of$295 million from Blackstone for the rights to the proceeds from (a) the future royalties we are owed from net sales in the U.S. of XDEMVY® (lotilaner ophthalmic solution)0.25%, a medical treatment for Demodex blepharitis in humans, by Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Tarsus) and (b) certain future sales milestone payments we are owed based on global net sales of XDEMVY, both of which are pursuant to the terms of a previously executed license agreement with Tarsus (the qualifying royalties and milestones). These payments are made by Tarsus to Blackstone through a third-party escrow account and, therefore, do not represent cash inflows or outflows within our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The PSA applies to net sales of XDEMVY in the U.S. from April 1, 2025 through August 24, 2033. We retain the rights to all royalty payments on net sales outside the U.S. and any royalties due on U.S. net sales after August 24, 2033. We also retain the rights to any future royalties or milestones earned due to the future expansion of lotilaner in other human health applications. Given our continuing involvement with the generation of the qualifying royalties and milestones, the payment received in exchange for the qualifying royalties and milestones, net of transaction costs, was recorded as a liability for sale of future revenue.

GAAP also requires us to impute interest expense associated with the liability for sale of future revenue. Our imputed interest rate is calculated based on the rate we expect would enable the liability to be amortized in full over the life of the agreement and may vary throughout the term of the arrangement depending on the amount and timing of forecasted qualifying royalties and milestones, which will affect the timing and amount of reductions to the liability.

Further, although we will no longer receive the proceeds from the qualifying future royalties and milestones, we are required under GAAP to continue recognizing these amounts within our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the activity related to our liability for sale of future revenue:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized income taxexpense of$2 million and$32 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, our effective tax rate of 3.3% differed from the statutory income tax rate primarily due tothe tax impact from the jurisdictional mix of projected earnings. For thesix months ended June 30, 2026, our effective tax rate of 22.3% differed from the statutory income tax rate primarily due to the tax impact from the jurisdictional mix of projected earnings as well as the utilization of net operating losses and a valuation allowance release in the U.S.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized income tax expense of $14 million and $7 million, respectively. Our effective tax rate of 55.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, differed from the statutory income tax rate primarily due to the tax impact from the jurisdictional mix of projected income and losses in non-U.S. jurisdictions and the impacts of discrete tax expenses during the second quarter of 2025, including the remeasurement of certain deferred tax positions due to a foreign tax rate change. Our effective tax rate of 7.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, differed from the statutory income tax rate primarily due to the tax impact from the jurisdictional mix of projected income and losses in non-U.S. jurisdictions and the utilization of net operating losses and a valuation allowance release in the U.S., partially offset by the impacts of discrete tax expenses during

2026 Q2 Form 10-Q | 15

the second quarter of 2025, including the remeasurement of certain deferred tax positions due to a foreign tax rate change.

We were included in Eli Lilly and Company's (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 2019 and remains ongoing. Final resolution of certain matters is dependent upon several factors, including the potential for formal administrative proceedings.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

We are party to various legal actions that oftentimes arise in the normal course of business. The most significant of these matters are described below. Under GAAP, loss contingency provisions are recorded when we deem it probable that we will incur a loss and are able to formulate a reasonable estimate of that loss. For the legal matters discussed below, we either believe material loss is not probable or are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any. The process of resolving these matters is inherently uncertain and may develop over an extended period of time; therefore, at this time, the ultimate resolutions cannot be predicted. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we hadno material liabilities established related to the legal matters discussed below.

On October 7, 2024, a putative securities class action lawsuit captioned Joseph Barpar v. Elanco Animal Health Inc., et al. (Barpar) was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland against Elanco andtwo of its executives. Barpar alleged claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) and specifically alleged that Elanco and thetwo executives made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose certain facts about the safety of and labeling for our Zenrelia® product, as well as the approval and launch timelines for Zenrelia and our Credelio Quattro™ product. The plaintiff purported to represent purchasers of Elanco securities between November 7, 2023 and June 26, 2024. On March 21, 2025, plaintiff filed an amended complaint that extended the time period for which the plaintiff purported to represent purchasers of Elanco securities to between May 9, 2023 and June 26, 2024. The amended complaint also removed allegations concerning the approval and launch timelines for our Credelio Quattro product. On May 20, 2025, we filed a motion to dismiss this case, and on March 26, 2026, the court granted our motion to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety with prejudice and entered judgment in our favor. Plaintiffs have appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and the appeal is currently pending.

Following the filing of Barpar, several derivative cases were filed, all of which have been stayed pending final resolution of the Barpar matter, including any applicable appeal periods. On November 1, 2024, a shareholder derivative action captioned Lawrence Hollin v. Lawrence E. Kurzius, et al. (Hollin) was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland against current members of Elanco's Board of Directors and senior management, alleging claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and state law claims for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and waste of corporate assets, based on allegations substantially similar to the allegations in the putative class action complaint in Barpar. On March 11, 2025, a shareholder derivative action captioned James Habermehl v. Jeffrey N. Simmons, et al. was filed in Hancock County Circuit Court of Indiana, against the same parties named in Hollin, alleging claims under Indiana state law for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment, based on allegations substantially similar to the allegations in the putative class action complaint in Barpar. On April 28, 2025, a shareholder derivative action captioned Christopher Dougherty v. Elanco Animal Health, Inc., et al. (Dougherty), was filed in the District of Maryland, naming certain Elanco executives and 13 Elanco Board members as defendants. Dougherty alleges the defendants engaged in conspiratorial and individually culpable conduct based on materially false or misleading statements and omissions alleged in, referenced or related to, in large part, the putative class action complaint in Barpar, as well as breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and as to the certain executives, contribution under Section 15, U.S.C. § 78j(b) and Section 21D of the Exchange Act. On June 11, 2025, a shareholder derivative action captioned Mike Sexton v. Jeffrey N. Simmons, et al. was filed in Hancock County Circuit Court of Indiana against largely the same parties as in Hollin, alleging claims under Indiana state law for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement and waste of corporate assets. We are vigorously defending our positions in connection with each of these actions.

On May 20, 2020, a shareholder class action lawsuit captioned Hunter v. Elanco Animal Health Inc., et al. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana 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.

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 Therapeutics, Inc. On January 13, 2021, we filed a motion to dismiss, and 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. On December 7, 2022, we filed an opposition to the plaintiffs' motion, and on September 27, 2023, the court denied the plaintiffs' motion for leave, issuing final judgment in favor of Elanco. On October 25, 2023, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and the appeal is currently pending. We intend to continue to vigorously defend our position.

On October 16, 2020, a shareholder class action lawsuit captioned Safron 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 and entities. On December 23, 2020, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding an additional plaintiff. The lawsuit alleged, 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 sought unspecified monetary damages and purported to represent purchasers of Elanco common stock or tangible equity units issued in connection with the public offering. On June 8, 2023, the plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint, which became the operative complaint. We filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on August 7, 2023, which was granted on April 17, 2024. On or about October 4, 2024, the plaintiffs appealed the dismissal to the Indiana Court of Appeals, which affirmed the trial court’s order granting our motion to dismiss on August 1, 2025. On October 23, 2025, the plaintiff appealed dismissal to the Indiana Supreme Court, and on February 26, 2026, the Indiana Supreme Court denied plaintiff's appeal, which resolved this case in final form in Elanco's favor at the state court level. On May 15, 2026, the plaintiff filed a petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court. The matter remains resolved in Elanco's favor unless and until the U.S. Supreme Court grants review and rules otherwise.

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 realleged claims of unlawful exclusive dealing related to Advantage and Advantixand monopoly maintenance. A motion to dismiss the second amended complaint was denied in January 2022. Tevra’s demands included both actual and treble damages. On April 16, 2024, the court granted our motion for summary judgment to exclude all damages subsequent to our acquisition of Bayer Animal Health in August 2020. A jury trial was held in July 2024, and on August 1, 2024, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Bayer Animal Health. In January 2025, Tevra's motion for a new trial was denied, and in February 2025, Tevra filed its notice of appeal. On July 6, 2026, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the jury verdict, and on July 28, 2026, Tevra filed a petition for panel rehearing with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which was denied on July 31, 2026. Following the initial Tevra trial, three additional matters were filed against us, both in the Northern District of California and in the Southern District of Indiana, most recently in January 2025: Tracy Spradlin v. Elanco Animal Health, Inc. (Spradlin), Tevra Brands, LLC v. Elanco Animal Health, Inc. (Tevra v. Elanco), and Susan Kraus-Silfen v. Elanco Animal Health, Inc. et. al. (Kraus-Silfen). While there are substantive and statutory differences, the allegations underpinning these matters are similar in some respects to the initial Tevra matter. Spradlin and Kraus-Silfen are putative class actions, and allthree of these additional matters seek injunctive relief and an unspecified amount of monetary relief. On March 31, 2025, our motion to dismiss Tevra v. Elancowas granted by the court without prejudice to plaintiff's right to file an amended claim. On February 18, 2026, we reached a settlement in principle with the Kraus-Silfen and Spradlin plaintiffs, including the potential payment by Elanco of a non-material amount, which remains subject to execution of definitive documentation and court approval. This proposed settlement does not constitute an admission of liability. We continue to vigorously defend against each of the remaining claims in thetwo Tevra matters.

Note 13. Earnings Per Share

We compute basic earningsper share by dividing net incomeby the 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. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could have occurred if holders of the unvested equity awards converted their holdings into common stock. The weighted-average number of potentially dilutive shares outstanding was calculated using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares that would have had the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share (or reducing loss per share) were considered to be anti-dilutive and as such, these shares were not included in the calculation of diluted earningsper share.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, approximately 1.3 million and 3.3 million, respectively, of potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because their effect was anti-dilutive.

Note 14. Business Segment Information

We operate our business as a single segment engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing and sales of animal health products for both pets and farm animals. Consistent with our operational structure, our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), as the chief operating decision maker, makes resource allocation and business process decisions globally across our consolidated business. Strategic and resource allocation decisions are managed globally, with global functional leaders responsible for determining significant costs and investments and with regional leaders responsible for overseeing the execution of our global strategy. 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 R&D 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 considers consolidated net income (loss), which is our single segment’s principal measure of segment profit and loss, when evaluating performance. Our CEO also considers these measures, as well as other factors, such as an assessment of a new product’s future market potential, when determining how to allocate company-wide resources.

Significant segment expenses are amounts that are regularly provided to our CEO and included in consolidated net income (loss), our primary measure of our single segment’s profit or loss. Our CEO regularly reviews reported consolidated revenue, gross profit, other significant segment expenses and consolidated net income (loss), in addition to forecasted revenue, significant segment expenses and net income (loss) amounts for future periods. A summary of our consolidated net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, is as follows, including the significant segment expenses provided to and regularly reviewed by our CEO, as well as other expenses, which are included in consolidated netincome, but are not regularly provided to and/or reviewed by our CEO:
