Elanco Animal Health Incorporated

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.

Note 3. Revenue

Revenue

(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:

Line itemThree Months Ended June 30, 2026Three Months Ended June 30, 2025Six Months Ended June 30, 2026Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

Revenue

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) 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 Securitization 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 % 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 of net gains on derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, recorded in other (income) expense, net were as follows:

Line itemThree Months Ended June 30, 2026Three Months Ended June 30, 2025Six Months Ended June 30, 2026Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Foreign exchange forward contracts (1)$17$9$16$24

(1) These amounts were substantially offset in other (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 in accumulated other comprehensive loss were as follows:

Line itemThree Months Ended June 30, 2026Three Months Ended June 30, 2025Six Months Ended June 30, 2026Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
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:

Line itemThree Months Ended June 30, 2026Three Months Ended June 30, 2025Six Months Ended June 30, 2026Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
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:

Line itemThree Months Ended June 30, 2026Three Months Ended June 30, 2025Six Months Ended June 30, 2026Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Interest rate swaps$(5)$11$(10)$24

Over the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify a gain of 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%.

2026 Q2 Form 10-Q | 13

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:

Financial instruments not carried at fair value
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 million and 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 tax expense of million and 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 to the tax impact from the jurisdictional mix of projected earnings. For the six 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 million and 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

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 had 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 and two 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 the two 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. 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 supply chain, inventory, revenue and projections. The lawsuit sought unspecified

2026 Q2 Form 10-Q | 16

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 Advantix and 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 all three of these additional matters seek injunctive relief and an unspecified amount of monetary relief. On March 31, 2025, our motion to dismiss Tevra v. Elanco was 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 the two Tevra matters.

Note 13. Earnings Per Share

We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income by 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 earnings per share.

2026 Q2 Form 10-Q | 17

Basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding were as follows:

Line itemThree Months Ended June 30, 2026Three Months Ended June 30, 2025Six Months Ended June 30, 2026Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

(1) For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, approximately million and million, respectively, of potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because their effect was anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, approximately million and 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 net income, but are not regularly provided to and/or reviewed by our CEO:

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

Introduction

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 operation 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, but not limited to 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 2025 Form 10-K, may cause our actual results, financial position and cash flows to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Business Overview

Elanco is a global leader in animal health, dedicated to innovating and delivering products and services to prevent and treat disease in farm animals and pets. We partner with farmers, pet owners, veterinarians and society to create value and help our customers improve the health of animals in their care, while also making a meaningful impact on the communities we serve. Our diverse, durable product portfolio is sold in more than 90 countries and serves animals across many species, primarily: dogs and cats (collectively, pet health) and cattle, poultry, swine, and sheep (collectively, farm animal). Our purpose — making life better for animals makes life better — inspires us to Go Beyond for animals, customers, society and our people.

With a heritage dating back to 1954, we operate our business in a single segment within the animal health industry, offering a diverse product portfolio of approximately 200 brands, which helps 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. Our omnichannel presence extends to both the veterinary clinic and retail markets, including e-commerce.

Product Development and Regulatory Update

A key element of our targeted value creation strategy is to drive revenue growth through portfolio development and product innovation. We continue to pursue the development of new chemical and biological molecules, as well as additional registrations and indications for current products. Our future growth and success depends on both our pipeline of new products, including new products we develop internally, with partners or obtain through licenses or acquisitions, and the life cycle management of our existing products. We believe we are an industry leader in animal health R&D, with a track record of successful product innovation, business development and commercialization. Recent new product development, regulatory and product launch highlights include the following:

Zenrelia: We received final FDA approval for Zenrelia®, a JAK inhibitor targeting control of pruritus and atopic dermatitis in dogs, in September 2024. We launched Zenrelia in the U.S. shortly after final approval and have also commercialized Zenrelia in Australia, Brazil, Canada, the European Union (EU), Japan and the U.K. Additional reviews are ongoing in other markets.

Credelio Quattro: In October 2024, we received final approval from the FDA for Credelio Quattro™, a monthly chewable tablet for dogs that protects against fleas, ticks, heartworms, roundworms, hookworms and three different species of tapeworms. Credelio Quattro was launched in January 2025 and in December 2025 we also received conditional approval for treatment of the New World screwworm. During the current quarter, Credelio Quattro was launched in Australia, Canada and Japan. Additional submissions have been made in other key markets, including the EU and the U.K.

Befrena: In December 2025, we received final approval from the USDA for Befrena, a new anti-IL31 monoclonal antibody injection targeting canine allergic and atopic dermatitis. We initiated the phased launch of Befrena during the second quarter of 2026.

2026 Q2 Form 10-Q | 20

Other Key Trends and Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Restructuring Activities: In December 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a restructuring plan (the 2025 Restructuring Plan) to support margin expansion, optimize our global footprint and further invest in innovation. Specifically, the 2025 Restructuring Plan targeted an expected 2026 closure of the animal studies portion of our R&D facilities in Monheim, Germany, while also expanding our R&D organization in Indianapolis, Indiana, among other changes to our R&D organization. The 2025 Restructuring Plan is also expected to result in our exit from certain farm animal implant products and the related closure of our manufacturing facility in Kansas City, Kansas, in 2026. In total, the 2025 Restructuring Plan is expected to result in a global headcount reduction of approximately 300 employees, with an additional approximately 300 employees whose positions will be replaced with positions in growth areas or in lower-cost geographies.

In connection with the 2025 Restructuring Plan, we incurred charges of $155 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. Expected pre-tax charges associated with the 2025 Restructuring Plan total $25 million to $30 million in 2026, of which $17 million was incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily related to the remaining shut-down costs for our Monheim, Germany, facility. The 2025 Restructuring Plan is expected to result in savings of approximately $25 million in 2026 and approximately $60 million in 2027.

Trade Environment and Other U.S. Government Initiatives: Changes to U.S. trade policy continued throughout the first half of 2026. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not provide authority for the President to impose tariffs. Subsequently, new tariffs were imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974; however, these Section 122 tariffs expired on July 24, 2026. Following this expiration, the U.S. government implemented new tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which specifically target products associated with forced labor concerns.

On April 2, 2026, the President issued a proclamation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 imposing tariffs on certain imported patented pharmaceuticals and active pharmaceutical ingredients. While this proclamation targets certain patented pharmaceutical products, it includes significant carve-outs, including for certain animal-health pharmaceutical products. These tariffs are not expected to apply to us, if at all, until at least September 2026.

While the ultimate financial impact of these and other decisions cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we will continue to closely monitor the trade policies in countries in which we operate and/or from which we import products and continue to take actions, where possible, to mitigate the impacts on our business.

As disclosed in Item 1A, "Risk Factors – Tariffs, trade protection measures or other modifications of foreign trade policy may harm us or our customers", of our 2025 Form 10-K, our business is subject to risks related to, among other factors, tariffs, trade and monetary policies and economic conditions and events. We do not believe the previously enacted tariffs had a material impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026. However, while animal-health pharmaceutical products are largely exempt from the U.S. tariffs imposed to date, it remains uncertain if this will continue to be the case, and pharmaceutical products are not exempt from all tariffs imposed outside of the U.S. Following the February 2026 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, we filed for refunds of certain IEEPA tariffs previously paid. While the timing and extent of any recoveries remain uncertain, we do not believe the impact of these potential refunds will be material to our business or financial statements.

Further, the U.S. presidential administration has sought to implement significant changes to the size and scope of the federal government. Among these changes, certain previously authorized government incentives focused on the adoption of new products for the sole purpose of sustainability have been frozen or rescinded. As disclosed in Item 1A, "Risk Factors – If the acceptance and/or adoption of our farm animal sustainability initiatives do not continue, our future results may be materially impacted", of our 2025 Form 10-K, we have made significant progress in recent years in gaining acceptance of farm animal sustainability products. However, we believe the adoption rate of Bovaer, one of our farm animal sustainability products, has been tempered given the absence of government incentives focused on such adoption. We continue to monitor the impact these changes are having on our current business and on the adoption ramp of Bovaer, although the potential longer-term impact to us remains uncertain.

Sale of Future Revenue: In May 2025, we executed a PSA with affiliates of Blackstone, pursuant to which we received proceeds of $295 million in exchange for the rights to the proceeds from qualifying future royalties and sales milestone payments owed to us by Tarsus based on their net sales of XDEMVY® (lotilaner ophthalmic solution) 0.25%, a medical treatment for Demodex blepharitis in humans. These net proceeds were utilized to repay previously outstanding debt. See Note 10. Liability for Sale of Future Revenue for further information.

Acquisition and Integration: On April 30, 2026, we completed the acquisition of AHV, along with selected assets of AHV's affiliates necessary for the ongoing operations of the business. 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

2026 Q2 Form 10-Q | 21

Europe and the U.S. We expect AHV to contribute modestly to revenue in 2026, with a more meaningful impact beginning in 2027 as we integrate the business and realize commercial synergies. This transaction was funded utilizing cash on hand and by borrowing $50 million on our Securitization Facility, which was subsequently repaid during the current quarter. This acquisition is not expected to materially affect our deleveraging timeline or overall liquidity position.

Macroeconomic Factors: Our operations are exposed to, and impacted by, various global macroeconomic factors, including emerging global armed conflicts and related government responses to them. While our business has not been materially impacted by any such conflicts to date, conflict escalation or prolonged international tensions could result in economic slowdown, volatility in consumer behavior, increased shipping costs or materials costs and/or supply chain disruptions, any one of which could have a material negative impact on our results of operations.

Seasonality: While many of our products are sold consistently throughout the year, we do experience seasonality in our pet health business due to increased demand for certain parasiticide product offerings in the first half of the year. For example, in 2025 approximately 70% and 60% of total annual revenue generated by our higher-margin parasiticide products Seresto and Advantage Family, respectively, occurred during the first half of the year, which is reflective of the flea and tick season in the Northern Hemisphere.

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations should be read along with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. Our results of operations for the periods presented below may not be comparable with prior periods or with our results of operations in the future due to many factors, including but not limited to the factors identified above.

Revenue

Our products are sold in more than 90 countries, and as a result, a significant portion of our revenue is recorded in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Because of this, our revenue is influenced by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, approximately 52% of our revenue was denominated in foreign currencies.

Further, increases or decreases in inventory levels in our distribution channels can positively or negatively impact our periodic revenue results, leading to variations in revenue. This can be a result of various factors, such as end customer demand, new customer contracts, initial stocking of new products, 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, blackout shipping periods due to system downtime, implementations and integrations and procedures and environmental factors beyond our control.

Pet health revenue increased $75 million, or 12%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, driven primarily by higher volumes, increased pricing and the impacts from foreign currency exchange rate movements. Higher volumes were primarily driven by new products, led by Zenrelia and Credelio Quattro, including adoption of those products by new customers.

Pet health revenue increased $150 million, or 12%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by higher volumes, the impacts from foreign currency exchange rate movements and increased pricing. Higher volumes were primarily driven by new products, led by Zenrelia, Credelio Quattro and AdTab. A portion of the higher volumes were attributable to adoption of Credelio Quattro and Zenrelia by new customers.

Farm animal revenue increased $50 million, or 9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, driven by increases in ruminants and poultry, partially offset by decreased swine volumes.

We recognized income tax expense of $2 million and $14 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our effective tax rate of 3.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, differed from the statutory income tax rate primarily due to the tax impact from the jurisdictional mix of projected earnings. 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.

We recognized income tax expense of $32 million and $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our effective tax rate of 22.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, 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. 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 as well as 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 the second quarter of 2025, including the remeasurement of certain deferred tax positions due to a foreign tax rate change.

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 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, the income taxes associated with transferring cash to the U.S. We intend to indefinitely reinvest substantially all foreign earnings for continued use in our foreign operations. As our business evolves, 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, including both principal and interest payments, as well as interest rate swaps, lease payments, purchase obligations

2026 Q2 Form 10-Q | 25

and costs associated with mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, business integrations and/or restructuring activities. As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $530 million and unused borrowing capacity on our Revolving Credit Facility of approximately $750 million. In addition, our Securitization Facility provides for additional borrowing capacity based on our U.S. Net Eligible Receivable Balances. As of June 30, 2026, we had approximately $165 million in undrawn borrowing capacity on this facility. We also have the ability to access capital markets to obtain debt financing for longer-term funding, if required. 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 market conditions 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 have substantial indebtedness" in Part I of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Cash Flows

The following table provides a summary of cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

(in millions)Net cash provided by (used for):20262025$ Change

Financing activities(139)(104)(35)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents456(52)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents$(15)$71$(86)

Operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $290 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $233 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The $57 million increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by an increase in cash earnings, partially offset by changes in working capital.

Investing activities

Cash used for investing activities was $170 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to cash used for investing activities of $114 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by $76 million paid in April 2026 in relation to our acquisition of AHV (see Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures for further information), partially offset by a $38 million decrease in purchases of property and equipment. This decrease relates to the timing of spending for the ongoing expansion of our monoclonal antibody manufacturing facility in Elwood, Kansas, as well as capital projects at our Fort Dodge, Iowa, and Huningue, France, manufacturing facilities.

Financing activities

Cash used for financing activities was $139 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to cash used for financing activities of $104 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Cash used for financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026, included $89 million of early and scheduled repayments of long-term borrowings and $35 million of purchases of common stock for employee tax withholding obligations. Cash used for financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025, included $374 million in scheduled and early repayments of long-term borrowings, partially enabled by net proceeds of $290 million from the sale of qualifying future royalties and sales milestone payments (see Note 10. Liability for Sale of Future Revenue for further information).

Description of Indebtedness

For a complete description of our existing debt and available credit facilities as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, see Note 7. Debt and Finance Lease Liability within Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of Part II of our 2025 Form 10-K. New developments are discussed in Note 7. Debt and Finance Lease Liability of this Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments 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. Certain of our accounting estimates are considered critical because they are the most important to the fair presentation of our financial statements, including the disclosures thereto, and often require significant, difficult or complex judgments, probabilities and assumptions.

2026 Q2 Form 10-Q | 26

While we believe our critical accounting estimates to be reasonable based on all relevant information available, given their inherent uncertainty, if our estimates and assumptions are not representative of actual outcomes, our results could be materially impacted. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions and adjust them when facts and circumstances indicate the need for change, and such changes generally would be reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined. We apply estimation methodologies consistently from year to year. Our critical accounting estimates are summarized in Item 7, "Management's Discussion & Analysis of Results of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," of our 2025 Form 10-K. There were no significant changes or developments in the application of our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

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 revenue, earnings, cash flows and equity could be adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk as the functional currency financial statements of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars. We are also subject to foreign currency transaction gains and losses to the extent revenue and expense transactions are not denominated in the functional currency of a subsidiary. We are primarily exposed to foreign currency exchange risk with respect to net assets denominated in the Euro, British pound, Swiss franc, Brazilian real, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan and Polish zloty.

Additionally, we generally identify hyperinflationary markets as those markets whose cumulative inflation rate over a three-year period exceeds 100%. We have applied hyperinflationary accounting for our subsidiary in Turkey since 2022 and, as a result, have changed the functional currency of this subsidiary to the U.S. dollar. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, revenue in Turkey represented less than 1% of our consolidated revenue, while assets held in Turkey as of June 30, 2026, also represented less than 1% of our consolidated assets. While the application of hyperinflationary accounting did not have a material impact on our business during the six months ended June 30, 2026, we may in the future incur significant currency devaluations, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Interest Risk

As of June 30, 2026, we had outstanding interest rate swap agreements with a combined notional amount of $2,300 million that have the economic effect of modifying this amount of our variable-rate debt to fixed-rate. We also have forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with a combined notional amount of $1,450 million, which will become effective in August 2026. When including the variable-rate converted to fixed-rate through the use of interest rate swaps, as of June 30, 2026, approximately 80% of our long-term indebtedness, excluding our finance lease liability, bore interest at a fixed rate.

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 Robert M. VanHimbergen, executive vice president and chief financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026, and concluded they were effective.

(b)Changes in Internal Controls. During the second quarter of 2026, 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.
