Financial results for 2012 and 2011 are presented on both a reported and a 
non-GAAP basis. Reported results were prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and include all revenue and expenses 
recognized during the period. Non-GAAP results exclude the items described in 
the reconciliation tables. The non-GAAP results are presented in order to 
provide additional insights into the underlying trends in the company's 
business. The company's 2012 financial guidance is also being provided on both 
a reported and a non-GAAP basis. 
 
"Lilly's financial results in the first quarter represent a solid start to the 
year and support our decision to increase our 2012 EPS guidance. 
Notwithstanding the negative effect of the expiration of the Zyprexa patent in 
the U.S. and many international markets, Lilly demonstrated strong underlying 
growth in other products and key regions; specifically, Cymbalta, Forteo, 
Effient, diabetes care and our animal health portfolio, as well as our 
fast-growing affiliate in China," said John C. Lechleiter, Ph.D., Lilly's 
chairman, president and chief executive officer. "We continue to invest 
appropriately in our pipeline, with 12 potential new medicines now in Phase 
III clinical trials. We strongly believe that our innovation-based strategy 
will enable Lilly to return to steady growth following a period of multiple 
patent expirations." 
 
Key Events Over the Last Three Months 
 
  - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Amyvid?, a 
    radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for brain imaging of beta-amyloid 
    plaques in patients with cognitive impairment who are being evaluated for 
    Alzheimer's Disease and other causes of cognitive decline. 
  - Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare approved Zyprexa? 
    for treatment of depression in bipolar disorder and Cymbalta? for 
    treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain. 
  - The FDA issued a Complete Response Letter for the Erbitux? filing 
    in first-line non-small cell lung cancer, which was based on the pivotal 
    FLEX study. Lilly and its partner, Bristol-Myers Squibb, do not plan to 
    resubmit the FLEX filing, but will continue to market Erbitux in the U.S. 
    for certain types of head and neck cancer and colorectal cancer. 
  - The European Commission granted marketing authorization to Byetta? 
    (exenatide twice-daily) as an adjunctive therapy to basal insulin, with or 
    without metformin and/or Actos? (pioglitazone), for the treatment of type 
    2 diabetes in adults who have not achieved adequate glycemic control with 
    these agents. 
 
First-Quarter Reported Results 
 
In the first quarter of 2012, worldwide total revenue was $5.602 billion, a 
decrease of 4 percent compared with the first quarter of 2011. This 4 percent 
revenue decline was comprised of a decrease of 7 percent due to lower volume, 
partially offset by an increase of 4 percent in prices. Foreign exchange rates 
had a negligible impact. (Numbers do not add due to rounding). The decrease in 
volume was driven by the loss of patent exclusivity for Zyprexa in most major 
markets, partially offset by volume gains for other products. Total revenue in 
the U.S. remained relatively flat at $3.085 billion due to the loss of patent 
exclusivity for Zyprexa, offset by increased prices and, to a lesser extent, 
increased volume in other products. Total revenue outside the U.S. decreased 
by 9 percent to $2.517 billion, driven by the loss of patent exclusivity for 
Zyprexa, partially offset by increased volume in other products including 
Cymbalta, Forteo?, Humalog?, Efient? and the animal health portfolio, as well 
as a 41 percent revenue increase in China. 
 
Gross margin decreased 5.5 percent to $4.404 billion in the first quarter of 
2012. Gross margin as a percent of total revenue was 78.6 percent, reflecting 
a decrease of 1.2 percentage points compared with the first quarter of 2011. 
The decrease in gross margin percent was primarily due to lower sales of 
Zyprexa following its patent expiration in most major markets, partially 
offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates on international inventories 
sold. 
 
Total operating expense, defined as the sum of research and development, 
marketing, selling and administrative expenses, increased 3 percent compared 
with the first quarter of 2011. Marketing, selling and administrative expenses 
increased 3 percent to $1.848 billion, driven by the diabetes collaboration 
with Boehringer Ingelheim and increased expense for newer pharmaceutical and 
animal health products, partially offset by lower administrative expenses. 
Research and development expenses increased 2 percent to $1.151 billion, or 
20.6 percent of total revenue, driven by expenses related to the diabetes 
collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim and other late-stage clinical trial 
costs. 
 
In the first quarter of 2012, the company recognized an asset impairment, 
restructuring and other special charge of $23.8 million primarily related to 
the withdrawal of Xigris?. In the first quarter of 2011, the company 
recognized a charge of $76.3 million for restructuring related to severance 
costs from previously announced strategic actions that the company is taking 
to reduce its cost structure, as well as a $388.0 million in-process research 
and development (IPR&D) charge associated with the diabetes collaboration with 
Boehringer Ingelheim. 
 
Operating income in the first quarter of 2012 was $1.381 billion, an increase 
of 7 percent compared to the first quarter of 2011, due primarily to the prior 
year IPR&D charge mentioned previously, partially offset by decreased revenue 
as a result of the loss of Zyprexa patent exclusivity. 
 
Other income (expense) was a net expense of $46.0 million, compared with net 
expense of $11.2 million in the first quarter of 2011. The increase in other 
expense was driven by the recognition in the first quarter of 2011 of a gain 
on an equity investment and an insurance recovery, partially offset by 
increased interest income in the first quarter of 2012. 
 
The effective tax rate was 24.3 percent in the first quarter of 2012, compared 
with an effective tax rate of 17.1 percent in the first quarter of 2011. The 
increase in the effective tax rate was driven primarily by the tax benefit in 
2011 of the IPR&D charge described above, as well as the expiration of the R&D 
tax credit in the U.S. at the end of 2011. 
 
Net income and earnings per share decreased to $1.011 billion and $0.91, 
respectively, compared with first-quarter 2011 net income of $1.056 billion 
and earnings per share of $0.95. The decreases in net income and earnings per 
share were primarily due to lower gross margin and the increase in the 
effective tax rate, partially offset by the IPR&D charge in the first quarter 
of 2011. 
 
First-Quarter 2012 non-GAAP Results 
 
On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter 2012 operating income decreased 20 percent 
to $1.405 billion, due to lower gross margin resulting from the loss of patent 
exclusivity for Zyprexa in most major markets and, to a lesser extent, 
increased operating expenses. The effective tax rate was 24.4 percent, 
compared with 20.9 percent in the first quarter of 2011, primarily due to the 
expiration of the R&D tax credit at the end of 2011, as well as the inclusion 
of a discrete item in the first quarter of 2012 due to changes in estimates 
concerning certain prior-year tax items. Net income and earnings per share 
decreased 25 and 26 percent, to $1.027 billion and $0.92, respectively. These 
decreases were driven primarily by lower operating income. 
 
For purposes of non-GAAP reporting, items totaling $.01 and $.29 per share in 
the first quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively, have been excluded. For 
further detail, see the reconciliation below as well as the footnotes to the 
non-GAAP income statement later in this press release.

an increase of 23 percent compared with the first quarter of 2011. U.S. sales 
of Cymbalta increased 24 percent, to $857.6 million, driven by increased 
prices and higher demand. Revenue outside the U.S. was $257.3 million, an 
increase of 18 percent, driven by higher demand.

For the first quarter of 2012, Alimta generated sales of $606.8 million, an 
increase of 5 percent compared with the first quarter of 2011. U.S. sales of 
Alimta increased 10 percent, to $256.6 million, driven by increased demand 
and, to a lesser extent, higher prices. Sales outside the U.S. increased 1 
percent, to $350.2 million, due to increased demand, partially offset by lower 
prices in Japan. 
 
Humalog 
 
For the first quarter of 2012, worldwide Humalog sales increased 12 percent, 
to $590.3 million. Sales in the U.S. increased 15 percent to $348.4 million, 
driven by higher prices. Sales outside the U.S. increased 9 percent to $241.9 
million, due to increased demand. 
 
Zyprexa 
 
In the first quarter of 2012, Zyprexa sales totaled $562.7 million, a decrease 
of 56 percent compared with the first quarter of 2011 due to the loss of 
patent exclusivity in the U.S. and most major international markets outside of 
Japan. The company expects further erosion of Zyprexa sales throughout 2012. 
U.S. sales of Zyprexa decreased 66 percent to $202.8 million. Zyprexa sales in 
international markets decreased 47 percent, to $359.9 million.

percent increase compared with the first quarter of 2011, driven by higher 
demand. Sales of Cialis outside the U.S. increased 2 percent, to $283.0 
million, driven by increased demand and higher prices, partially offset by the 
unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. 
 
Humulin 
 
Worldwide Humulin sales increased 6 percent in the first quarter of 2012, to 
$307.7 million. U.S. sales increased 20 percent to $155.1 million, driven 
primarily by higher prices. Sales outside the U.S. decreased 5 percent, to 
$152.6 million, driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, 
lower prices, and decreased volume. 
 
Forteo 
 
First-quarter sales of Forteo were $271.3 million, a 26 percent increase 
compared with the first quarter of 2011. U.S. sales of Forteo increased 9 
percent to $121.9 million due to higher prices, largely offset by decreased 
demand. Sales outside the U.S. increased 43 percent, to $149.4 million, due 
primarily to increased demand in Japan. 
 
Evista 
 
Evista sales for the first quarter of 2012 decreased 4 percent to $256.2 
million. U.S. sales of Evista decreased 1 percent to $171.7 million, driven by 
decreased demand, largely offset by higher prices. Sales outside the U.S. 
decreased 8 percent to $84.5 million, driven by lower volume in Japan.

Erbitux, an increase of 9 percent from the first quarter of 2011. 
 
Animal Health 
 
Worldwide sales of animal health products in the first quarter of 2012 were 
$490.7 million, an increase of 33 percent compared with the first quarter of 
2011. U.S. sales grew 33 percent, to $269.6 million, due primarily to 
increased demand and the favorable impact from customer buying patterns. Sales 
outside the U.S. increased 32 percent, to $221.1 million, driven primarily by 
the impact of the acquisition of certain Janssen animal health assets in 
Europe. 
 
2012 Financial Guidance 
 
The company has raised its 2012 earnings per share guidance and now expects 
full-year 2012 earnings per share to be in the range of $3.14 to $3.29 on a 
reported basis and $3.15 to $3.30 on a non-GAAP basis. All other elements of 
the company's 2012 financial guidance remain unchanged.

Numbers in the 2011 full-year column do not add due to rounding. 
 
The company anticipates 2012 revenue of between $21.8 and $22.8 billion. This 
includes an expected decline of over $3 billion in Zyprexa sales due to patent 
expirations in most markets outside of Japan. The reduction in revenue due to 
Zyprexa patent expirations is expected to be partially offset by growth in key 
franchises including Cymbalta, Cialis, Humalog, Humulin and Forteo, as well as 
continued growth of newer products such as Effient, Axiron? and Tradjenta?. 
The company also anticipates continued strong, double-digit revenue growth 
from its Elanco Animal Health business. Both Japan and Emerging Markets are 
expected to post continued strong underlying volume growth; however, overall 
revenue growth in these markets in 2012 will be adversely affected by pricing 
actions in Japan and by the expected impact of patent expirations, including 
Zyprexa, in some emerging market countries. 
 
The company anticipates that gross margin as a percent of revenue will be 
approximately 77 percent in 2012. 
 
As a result of ongoing productivity efforts, the company expects to keep 2012 
operating expenses essentially flat compared to 2011. Marketing, selling and 
administrative expenses are expected to decline and be in the range of $7.4 
billion to $7.8 billion. Research and development expense is expected to be 
flat to increasing and in the range of $5.0 billion to $5.3 billion. 
 
Other income and deductions is expected to be in a range between net expense 
of $50 million and net income of $100 million in 2012. 
 
The 2012 tax rate is expected to be approximately 21 percent, and assumes the 
extension of the R&D tax credit for the full year 2012. 
 
Operating cash flows in 2012 are expected to be more than sufficient to fund 
capital expenditures of approximately $800 million, as well as anticipated 
business development activity and the company's current dividend.
