Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) has lowered its 2022 reported EPS guidance by $0.34 to now be in the range of $6.96 to $7.11 and lowered non-GAAP EPS guidance by $0.25 to now be in the range of $7.90 to $8.05. The company said the $0.25 reduction in the non-GAAP EPS range is driven entirely from the impact of foreign exchange rates.
The company still anticipates 2022 revenue to be between $28.8 billion and $29.3 billion. This includes an additional $400 million of unfavorability from foreign exchange rates, offset by additional revenue from the COVID-19 antibody, bebtelovimab. The additional revenue from bebtelovimab is inclusive of $275 million from the U.S. government purchase agreement announced in June 2022 as well as estimated revenue from the commencement of non-U.S. government distribution.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect the company to report profit per share of $8.08 on revenue of $28.27 billion. Analysts’ estimates typically exclude special items.
On a non-GAAP basis, second quarter net income and EPS were $1.13 billion and $1.25, respectively, compared with $1.68 billion and $1.85, a year ago. The company noted that second quarter 2022 non-GAAP EPS was inclusive of $0.46 of acquired IPR&D and development milestone charges, compared with $0.04 in prior year. On average, eight analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected the company to report profit per share of $1.68, for the quarter.
Net income and earnings per share were $952.5 million and $1.05, respectively, compared with $1.39 billion and $1.53, last year.
Worldwide revenue was $6.49 billion, a decrease of 4% from a year ago, driven by an 11% decrease due to lower realized prices and a 3% decrease from the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by a 10% increase in volume. Excluding revenue from Alimta, which lost exclusivity in major markets, sale of the rights to Cialis in China in second quarter 2021, and COVID-19 antibodies, worldwide revenue increased 6%, for the quarter. Analysts on average had estimated $6.67 billion in revenue.
“The inclusion of acquired in-process research and development and development milestone charges in our non-GAAP results will continue to impact comparisons to prior years,” Lilly CFO Anat Ashkenazi noted.
