Determination Leads to Discovery

ELI LILLY AND COMPANY

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

NOTICE OF 2014 ANNUAL MEETING

PROXY STATEMENT

Determination LeaDs to Discovery

In 2013, Lilly demonstrated the determination that has been a hallmark of our company since its founding. We continued to 
meet the performance goals we set for the current period of patent expirations for some of our major products, while setting the 
stage to resume growth, submitting four potential medicines for regulatory approval. 

These potential treatments for diabetes and cancer reflect our determination to discover new medicines that make a difference for 
people’s lives, and our unwavering resolve to make the investment necessary to sustain that work. 

This is our heritage. Lilly was founded for the unique purpose of making trusted medicines of the highest possible quality, based on 
the best science of the day, and for 137 years we have worked hard to honor our founders’ commitment to quality and integrity.

With the expiration of U.S. patents on Cymbalta® in December 2013 and Evista® in March 2014, we face the most challenging 
year in Lilly’s history. But it is also one of the most exciting, with the prospect of launching as many as three new medicines. And 
even as we focus on bringing our medicines to the people who need them, Lilly scientists continue to carry out the difficult work 
of discovery that will lead to new and better therapies in the future.

From our research laboratories, to our manufacturing plants, to our relationships with payers, physicians, and the people they 
serve, our determination to make life better shines through every aspect of our work. The pages that follow highlight stories of 
this singular determination, as well as the progress we’ve made.

To Our Shareholders

For Eli Lilly and Company, 2013 was a year of transition 
and achievement. Once again, we confronted the chal-
lenges of a major patent expiration—in this instance, our 
U.S. Cymbalta® patent in December. At the same time, we 
completed four major regulatory filings for new products, a 
record for our company.

Looking ahead, 2014 represents the most challenging 
year of this period—which we’ve called “YZ”—when we lose 
patent protection on several of our largest products, culmi-
nating with Evista® in March. But we have prepared for this 
challenge and are positioned to return to growth and expand-
ing margins in 2015 and beyond.

Indeed, we view 2014 as a new beginning for Lilly when 

we start to emerge from YZ with the anticipated launch 
of three new medicines. The prospect of these launches—
with more to follow in 2015—represents the fruit of our 
innovation-based strategy and is a testament to the thousands 
of Lilly people who have performed so well through this 
challenging period.

Since I became CEO in 2008, I’ve been candid about 

both our challenges and our opportunities, as we have 
reaffirmed Lilly’s commitment to innovation as our best path 
forward to create value for patients, physicians, payers—and 
for shareholders.

We’ve undertaken extensive efforts to transform our 
company to address not only the challenge of patent expira-
tions, but also the demands of patients and payers alike for 
greater value from medicine. We’ve delivered on our commit-
ments, we’ve adjusted to complications encountered along the 
way, and we’ve positioned the company to bridge one of the 
most significant patent cliffs in the industry—while remain-
ing independent.

We’ve also successfully rebuilt our late-stage pipeline. 
The four potential medicines we submitted this past year for 
regulatory review include three to treat diabetes—dulaglutide, 
empagliflozin, and our new insulin glargine product—as 
well as ramucirumab as a single-agent treatment in advanced 
gastric cancer. In 2014, we expect to submit necitumumab 
for squamous non-small cell lung cancer, as well as additional 
indications for ramucirumab.

After a brief review of 2013 results, I’ll focus on the two 

therapeutic areas where we expect to launch new medicines 
this year—diabetes and oncology—which represent key areas 
of growth for Lilly in the years ahead. And I’ll review our 
broad research efforts to sustain progress in our pipeline.

Eight of our products and our Elanco animal health 

business exceeded $1 billion in annual sales. Japan and 
China delivered double-digit volume increases, and Elanco 
continued to exceed overall industry growth. This strong 
performance, combined with our discipline in managing 
costs, generated $5.7 billion of operating cash flow, covering 
capital expenditures of $1 billion and allowing the company 
to return approximately $3.8 billion in cash to shareholders 
through the dividend and our share repurchase program.

2013 Results

In 2013, revenue increased 2 percent to $23.1 billion— 
following the loss of U.S. exclusivity for Cymbalta in the fourth 
quarter. Even while we increased R&D spending by 5 percent, 
total operating expenses decreased 1 percent due to lower sell-
ing and marketing expenses. Reported net income increased  
15 percent, and earnings per share increased 18 percent.

Creating an Unmatched Portfolio of Diabetes Medicines

In 2013, Lilly took important steps to further address the 

growing global epidemic of diabetes. A long-time leader in 
insulins with Humulin® and Humalog®, Lilly is developing a 
portfolio of diabetes medicines with unmatched breadth,
including insulins, other injectable treatments, and oral

Determination Leads to Growth in China

Lilly’s first office outside the United States was opened in Shanghai almost a century ago in 1918. Lilly renewed its 
commitment to China in 1993, establishing our affiliate with 13 employees. Today, the number of Lilly employees in 
China is about 4,000—more than in any other country outside the U.S. We’ve tripled our sales force since 2008, while 
expanding our investment in manufacturing and research.

We opened our first manufacturing facility in Suzhou in 1998 and a second in 2011. In late 2013, we announced 

a $350 million expansion of our second site in Suzhou to manufacture insulin for the Chinese market. In 2011, we 
established our China R&D head office in Shanghai, and the following year we opened the Lilly China Research and 
Development Center to focus specifically on type 2 diabetes in China. In addition, our Elanco animal health business 
invested $100 million in China Animal Healthcare Ltd. in 2013.

Lilly sales in China grew 12 percent in 2013, driven entirely by volume growth, and we have tripled revenues 
there since 2008. We expect strong revenue growth to continue this year in China—projected to become the world’s 
second-largest market for pharmaceuticals by 2016.

Gathered with leaders from Lilly China outside its headquarters in Shanghai, John C. Lechleiter, Ph.D., Chairman, Presi-
dent, and Chief Executive Officer (center), displays a similar photograph that was taken in the 1920s at a location not far 
from the current site. J. K. Lilly, Sr., is at the center.

medicines. We believe no other company will be better 
positioned to meet the needs of people with diabetes across 
the treatment spectrum. (See page 8.)

In January 2011, Lilly entered into a global alliance 
with Boehringer Ingelheim to jointly develop and com-
mercialize two new oral diabetes therapies: Trajenta®, the 
oral DPP-4 inhibitor we launched in 2011—now approved 
in more than 60 countries—and empagliflozin, an SGLT-2 
inhibitor. The Lilly-BI partnership also includes Lilly’s new 
insulin glargine product. 

Building on Lilly Leadership in Oncology

We also reached key milestones last year in oncology, an 
important area of focus for our company. The unmet need is 
huge: It’s estimated that, over a lifetime, cancer will strike one 
of every two men and one of every three women in the United 
States. We believe that, with our existing products Alimta® and 
Erbitux®, our late-stage molecules ramucirumab and necitu-
mumab—both of which came from our acquisition of ImClone 
in 2008—and our early- to mid-phase pipeline, we are well-

In addition to the products in the 

alliance, Lilly is advancing our basal 
insulin peglispro and our GLP-1 receptor 
agonist, dulaglutide—further expanding 
the potential reach of our portfolio.

Even as we continue to deliver solid 

performance with our marketed products, 
we can take full advantage of our existing 
commercial footprint as we launch as 
many as four new diabetes medicines in 
the next two to three years.

Empagliflozin was submitted for 
regulatory approval in the U.S., Europe, 
and Japan in 2013. We’re encouraged by the 
data from three Phase III studies which all 
met their primary objectives. We observed 
statistically significant reductions in HbA1c, 
a measure of average blood glucose, and 
we also saw decreases in body weight and 
reductions in systolic blood pressure.

Key Contributors to 2013 Revenue Growth
($ in millions represent growth in revenue, 
percent growth)

Five products and 
a product line— 
Cialis, Humalog, 
Trajenta, Alimta, 
Axiron, and 
Animal Health—
together generated 
revenue growth of 
$937 million 
during 2013 over 
2012. This growth 
was driven 
primarily by 
volume increases.

positioned to continue to be a leader in 
oncology for many years to come.

Ramucirumab, which could launch 

this year, has shown positive results in 
two Phase III trials in patients with ad-
vanced gastric cancer. This is a devastat-
ing disease with no approved standard 
of care in the U.S. or Europe.

In 2013, based on data from the 
REGARD trial, we completed regulatory 
submissions in the U.S. and Europe for 
ramucirumab as a single-agent bio-
logic therapy in patients with advanced 
gastric cancer. Based upon the results of 
the RAINBOW trial, we also intend to 
submit an application for ramucirumab 
in combination with chemotherapy in 
the first half of 2014.

We recently announced that ramu-

cirumab improved overall survival in 
patients with non-small cell lung cancer 

Dulaglutide was submitted in late 2013 in the U.S. and 

Europe. We’ve completed six Phase III trials; dulaglutide 
1.5 mg was superior to comparator drugs in lowering HbA1c 
in five trials, and met the primary endpoint of non-inferiority 
in the sixth. Further, in the three trials presented to date, we’ve 
shown that the percent of patients achieving the American 
Diabetes Association goal for HbA1c was significantly greater 
than the comparators. Patients taking dulaglutide 1.5 mg also 
showed weight loss for the duration of those trials. 

In combination with our ready-to-use pen delivery 
device, we believe once-a-week dulaglutide will be a very 
competitive entry in the GLP-1 market.

In addition to empagliflozin and dulaglutide, we have 

two basal insulins in late-stage development. 

In partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim, we submitted 
our new insulin glargine product in the U.S., Europe, and Japan 
in 2013. In addition, Lilly’s next-generation basal insulin, basal 
insulin peglispro, is currently in Phase III trials. If the studies are 
successful, we could submit basal insulin peglispro to regulatory 
authorities as early as this year.

While we believe each of our potential new diabetes 
medicines will offer important benefits, it is our comprehen-
sive portfolio that gives Lilly a unique opportunity to help 
people with diabetes meet their needs, while contributing 
significantly to Lilly’s return to growth post-2014.

(NSCLC) when combined with chemotherapy in a Phase III 
trial.  We intend to submit the first regulatory application for 
ramucirumab in NSCLC later this year.

In addition, we have ongoing Phase III ramucirumab 
trials, expected to read out this year, in liver and colorectal 
cancer. Depending on the trial data, we could submit the liver 
cancer indication to regulators before the end of 2014. It’s 
important to note that a Phase III study of ramucirumab in 
breast cancer did not meet its primary endpoint.

Along with ramucirumab, we announced positive 
Phase III results in 2013 for necitumumab, a fully-human 
monoclonal antibody. Necitumumab demonstrated increased 
overall survival as a first-line treatment when patients with 
stage IV metastatic squamous NSCLC were administered 
necitumumab in combination with chemotherapy, versus 
chemotherapy alone.

We believe that necitumumab represents an important 
milestone for patients with squamous NSCLC—30 percent of 
all NSCLC patients. This is a difficult-to-treat disease for which 
there have been very limited advances in the last two decades.

We anticipate submitting necitumumab to regulatory 
authorities before the end of 2014. If approved, necitumumab 
would be the first biologic agent approved to treat squamous 
NSCLC—adding to Lilly’s leadership in lung cancer treatment.

Sustaining Discovery and Growth

Determination—Our Past and Our Future

Although I’ve highlighted late-stage progress in diabetes 
and oncology, our commitment to innovation extends to all 
phases of pharmaceutical development, and to every facet of 
our efforts to bring better medicines to people who need them. 
While it might have been easier to slash research and 
development going into YZ, we stayed the course. And even 
though our R&D spending is declining in 2014 as the result 
of our winding down a number of Phase III programs, we 
still maintain a ratio of R&D to sales that 
ranks among the highest in the industry. 
And for good reason: these invest-
ments are paying off. As recently as 2004, 
we had a total of seven molecules in Phases 
II and III combined. Today, we have 12 
molecules in Phase III or submission stage, 
and 25 more in Phase II. (See page 12.) 
This year we have the potential to initiate 
Phase III studies for two new molecules: 
our CDK 4/6 inhibitor for cancer and 
blosozumab for osteoporosis. 

In 2013, we 
improved 
productivity as 
revenue per 
employee increased 
3 percent to 
$609,000.

Revenue Per Employee
($ thousands, percent growth)

We anticipate internal Phase III 
data readouts in 2014 on three potential 
medicines in autoimmune disease—ixeki-
zumab in psoriasis, tabalumab in lupus, 
and baricitinib in rheumatoid arthritis.
In another addition to our biotech 
pipeline, Lilly entered into a collaboration 
with Pfizer Inc. to co-develop and jointly 
commercialize tanezumab, a monoclonal 
antibody being investigated to treat moderate-to-severe 
chronic osteoarthritis pain, chronic low back pain, and 
cancer-related bone pain. 

And at year-end, we acquired all development and 
commercial rights from Arteaus Therapeutics for a CGRP 
antibody currently being studied as a potential treatment for 
the prevention of frequent, recurrent migraine headaches. 

Our agreement with Arteaus is a product of the Capital 

Funds Portfolio—an alternative R&D model pioneered by 
Lilly and our venture capital partners to facilitate early-stage 
development. The Capital Funds Portfolio is an outgrowth of 
the FIPNet model we’ve pursued for over a decade to expand 
innovation beyond our own walls.

The portfolio includes virtual “Project Focused Compa-
nies” (PFCs) such as Arteaus, created through partnerships 
with VC firms. Each PFC is formed around a particular 
molecule, which may have come from Lilly (as did the CGRP 
antibody), another pharma company, a biotech firm, or aca-
demia. The PFC is a vehicle for critical funding that enables 
molecules to advance through clinical proof of concept.

This strategy provides a unique way to access molecules, 

share risks, and expand funding to develop potential new 
medicines. We’re leaving no stone unturned in our efforts to 
discover innovative medicines and bring them to patients.

Over four years ago we laid out clear goals to address the 
challenging YZ period, and we put a plan in place to achieve 
them. We’re executing on that plan—and we’ve delivered results.

In the process, we’ve transformed our company. Today, 

we are stronger, more resilient, and more effective—better 
positioned to succeed in an ever-more-challenging global 
environment. And we intend to build on our momentum.

Advancing our pipeline will continue to be our top 
priority. And even as we deploy the 
resources necessary to launch a series of 
new medicines in the years ahead, we 
are determined to sustain the flow of 
innovation through our pipeline.

The progress we’ve made through 

the YZ period, and the opportunity 
we have to turn the corner starting 
this year, are all thanks to the hard 
work of my Lilly colleagues and their 
determination to bring important new 
medicines to patients. I particularly 
want to recognize Jacques Tapiero and 
Liz Klimes—members of our leader-
ship team who each served Lilly for 31 
years and retired at the end of 2013—
and Chito Zulueta, who succeeds 
Jacques to lead our Emerging Markets 
business.

And let me offer special thanks to 
our CFO, Derica Rice, who served as 

acting CEO during my absence for surgery in the spring, and 
to Ellen Marram, the board’s lead independent director, who 
served as acting chairperson of the board of directors during 
that time.

Through the course of my surgery and the recovery that 

followed, I personally experienced the importance of the 
work we do at Lilly. I received literally dozens of medications, 
each of which played an important role in reducing the risk 
of potential complications following surgery and helping me 
recover and regain the full health that I enjoy today.

The people of Eli Lilly and Company are proving that 
determination does indeed lead to discovery—and to growth. 
We intend to seize the compelling opportunities before us to 
realize our mission of improving people’s lives and to grow 
our business for the benefit of all of our stakeholders. We are 
grateful for your support.

For the Board of Directors,

John C. Lechleiter, Ph.D. 
Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer

Determination Leads to Discovery

Eli Lilly and Company was founded more than a century ago by a man committed to creating high-quality 
medicines based on the best science of the day, and today we remain true to that mission in all our work. 

In recent years, while other pharmaceutical companies were cutting R&D, Lilly stuck to our innovation-based 
strategy. Despite the financial pressures during the YZ period of patent expiries on a number of major products, 
we sustained investment in R&D and—as a result of that determined effort—we successfully rebuilt our late-stage 
pipeline of potential new medicines. 

This is our heritage: the world’s first commercially available insulin product...the first mass production of penicillin 
and, later, of the polio vaccine…important new classes of antibiotics in the 1950s through 1980s…Humulin®, the 
world’s first human health care product created using recombinant DNA technology 
…Prozac®, which revolutionized the treatment of depression…further advances  
in neuroscience—Zyprexa® and Cymbalta®, both among only 20 medicines  
ever to reach $5 billion in annual sales…new treatments for cancer, from  
Velban® in the 1960s, to Gemzar® in the 1990s, to Alimta® in the 2000s 
…and more—making life better for people around the world.

On the following pages, we highlight how the determined efforts of  
Lilly people have led to advances against two devastating diseases— 
diabetes and cancer—and how we’re building on this legacy of  
discovery as we prepare to launch potential new medicines in these  
key therapeutic areas over the coming year.

“research is the heart of the business, 
the soul of the enterprise.”
These are the words of Eli Lilly, president 
of Eli Lilly and Company, 1932–1948, and 
grandson of the founder. What “Mr. Eli” 
recognized in 1946 is still true today.

expanding our Portfolio to Help People manage their Diabetes

At the beginning of the last century, diabetes was as deadly as it had been throughout human history. 
In 1922, Eli Lilly and Company entered into a collaboration with the University of Toronto, where the 
now-famous research of Banting and Best had demonstrated that diabetes could be effectively treated 
with insulin. Lilly technical advances led to large-scale insulin production, and we introduced Iletin, the 
world’s first commercially available insulin product, in 1923. 

The most significant advance in diabetes care since that time was marked by Lilly’s 1982 introduction of 
Humulin, an insulin identical to that produced by the human body. The first insulin analog, Humalog®, 
followed in 1995.

While insulin was a medical breakthrough, today diabetes is a worldwide epidemic. If current 
trends persist in the United States, by 2050 an astonishing one in three adults will develop dia-
betes. Adding to the problem is the challenge of controlling the disease. Currently, only about 
one in seven U.S. adults with diabetes is meeting the combined goals set by the American 
Diabetes Association for blood sugar, 
blood pressure, and cholesterol.

Today, Lilly is building a broad 
portfolio of diabetes medicines,  
including oral medicines, GLP-1 
receptor agonists, and insulins. By offering options in each of these areas, Lilly will 
be uniquely positioned to help with one of the key challenges facing people with 
diabetes—changing or adding medicine as the disease progresses.

Our partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim allows us to expand our portfolio into 
oral therapies. Trajenta®, an oral DPP-4 inhibitor, was launched in 2011, and 
empagliflozin, an SGLT-2 inhibitor, was submitted for regulatory review in 2013. 

We anticipate approval this year for dulaglutide as a once-weekly GLP-1 treat-
ment for type 2 diabetes. In addition, with our long history and expertise in 
insulins, and with groundbreaking products like Humulin and Humalog, we are 
looking forward to expanding our portfolio to include basal insulins, forms of in-
sulin present in the body 24 hours a day to manage blood glucose levels between 
meals, including overnight.

With Boehringer Ingelheim, we submitted our new insulin glargine product in 
the U.S., Europe, and Japan in 2013. Our new insulin glargine has been thor-
oughly studied in a clinical development program to ensure it meets the highest 
standards of efficacy, safety, and quality.

And Lilly’s next-generation basal insulin, basal insulin peglispro, is currently in Phase 
III trials. We believe our basal insulin peglispro has a distinct mechanism of action—
working preferentially in the liver versus the periphery, much like the body’s own insulin—and has the 
potential to offer people with diabetes benefits not provided by current basal insulins.

We also continue to develop new treatment options for Humalog and Humulin. Examples include our 
small vials, which are helping hospitals eliminate waste; concentrated insulins, intended to address needs 
of patients requiring high insulin doses; and innovative delivery devices, like our new Savvio pen recently 
launched in Europe.

For nearly a century, people with diabetes have depended on Lilly, and we’re committed to continued 
leadership in diabetes innovation and treatment.

Summer camps for children with type 1 diabetes can help them 
discover that they are not alone while learning critical diabetes  
self-management skills—and having fun. For many years, Lilly  
has provided camps with insulin, supplies, and camper backpacks,  
as well as scholarships, motivational speakers, and educational 
resources for kids and parents.

An individual with diabetes will average more than six medication changes over a 
lifetime as the disease progresses. Lilly scientists are working to provide a full spectrum of 
options—from insulins, to other injectable treatments, to oral medicines—to help people 
manage their diabetes.

The inspiration for the sculpture in Lilly’s headquarters lobby (below, left) is the 1922 photo of 
a mother and her three-year-old who weighed just 15 pounds before he took Lilly insulin. The 
same child—who weighed 29 pounds after two months of treatment—is pictured on the right.

an evolving effort against a tenacious and  
Deadly Foe—cancer

In the early 1960s, Lilly played a key role in one 
of the first cancer chemotherapies: the vinca 
alkaloids. 

Lilly researcher Gordon Svoboda found 
that an extract of the periwinkle 
plant could prolong the life of 
mice infected with leukemia. 
Svoboda’s team isolated four 
of the plant’s alkaloid mol-
ecules—out of 90—that had 
active antitumor properties. 
In 1958, the Lilly team 
began a collaboration with 
researchers at the Univer-
sity of Western Ontario 
who had crystallized a par-
ticular vinca alkaloid that 
seemed to have pronounced 
anticancer qualities. 

The result was Velban®, which 
Lilly introduced commercially 
in 1961 as a treatment for Hodg-
kin’s disease and choriocarcinoma. In 
1963, Lilly introduced yet another periwinkle 
alkaloid-derived product, Oncovin®—a breakthrough 
in treating acute childhood leukemia. 

The vinca alkaloids are still used as components of important 
cancer treatment regimens that have proven to be curative in 
some forms of the disease.

Today, we continue our work to find new cancer treatments. 
In late 2008, we acquired ImClone, which enhanced our 
oncology pipeline and complemented our ongoing oncology 
research efforts. 

In 2013, we reported positive results in Phase III trials of 
two molecules that came from the ImClone acquisition. We 
submitted ramucirumab for approval in the U.S. and Europe 
for patients with advanced gastric cancer, commonly known as 
stomach cancer. And we announced results of a Phase III study 
in which necitumumab demonstrated increased overall survival 
in combination with chemotherapy, as a first-line treatment 
for metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The global incidence of cancer will increase from an estimated  
14 million new cases in 2012 to 22 million new cases a year within the 
next two decades, according to the World Health Organization. Lilly’s 
ongoing clinical efforts seek to address tumors with high unmet needs, 

including lung, stomach, and colorectal cancers.

10

Across tumor types, lung cancer—the 
most prevalent cancer and biggest 
killer—continues to be a key area of fo-
cus for Lilly. Our efforts in lung cancer 
date from the ’90s with Gemzar, which 
is approved for treatment of NSCLC as 
well as other tumor types. 

With Alimta, first approved in 2004 
for the treatment of mesothelioma, 
we’ve changed the way NSCLC 
is treated. Alimta was the first 

chemotherapy agent approved 
specifically for nonsquamous 

NSCLC—and the first to be approved 
for maintenance treatment after initial 
chemotherapy. Today, Alimta is the lead-
ing product for the treatment of first-line 
advanced nonsquamous NSCLC, with 
shares ranging from nearly 40 percent to 
over 70 percent in the countries around 
the world. 

Data from Phase III trials of necitu-
mumab—announced last year—and 
ramucirumab—announced in early 
2014—underscore Lilly’s continued 
leadership in thoracic oncology. 

Based on these results, we anticipate 
submissions this year for review of 
necitumumab as a first-line treatment for 
squamous NSCLC, and ramucirumab in 
second-line NSCLC, including squamous 
and nonsquamous histologies.

In the half-century since Lilly intro-
duced Velban, we’ve seen significant 
progress in cancer treatment, and today 
we’re taking advantage of an explosion 
of scientific knowledge to fight this 
complex and tenacious foe.

Progress in treating lung cancer has been 
incremental, but steady, amounting to an 
additional nine months in mean overall 
survival since the 1980s for patients with 
the nonsquamous form of the disease. Lilly 
scientists at our labs in Indianapolis, New 
York, and San Diego continue to seek new 
answers to this devastating disease.

In a 1963 photo, a Lilly scientist demonstrates 
that 15 tons of periwinkle plants were required to 
make 1 ounce of Velban. To ensure a steady supply 
of Velban, Lilly cultivated periwinkle plants on 
massive farms in Texas.

  collaboration

The Lilly pipeline currently in-
cludes 61 molecules in clinical 
development. In 2004, we had 
a total of seven assets in Phase 
II and Phase III combined. 
Today, we have 12 molecules in 
Phase III or submission stage, 
and 25 more in Phase II. In 
2013, we saw positive Phase 
III results for five potential new 
medicines, and we submitted 
four—a record for Lilly—for 
regulatory approval. We could 
launch as many as three new 
medicines this year, and we an-
ticipate additional regulatory 
submissions this year as well.

Since our last annual report, 
ten new molecules advanced 
into Phase I testing, seven 
advanced into Phase II testing, 
and one, tanezumab, entered 
Phase III in our portfolio, 
as a result of our agreement 
with Pfizer to co-develop and 
commercialize this molecule. 
We terminated development of 
17 molecules and discontinued 
Phase III trials in depression 
for edivoxetine, which is still 
being investigated in Phase II 
for multiple central nervous 
system disorders. Additional 
information and updates are 
available on the Lilly Interac-
tive Pipeline at www.lilly.com.

In 2013, Elanco delivered  
134 country level approvals. 
This included important ad-
vancements in new geographies 
and new areas of focus for 
Elanco, including Western Eu-
rope, emerging markets, dairy, 
diagnostics, and vaccines. 
Other products augmented the 
company’s companion animal 
parasiticide franchise while 
continued food animal innova-
tion assures our ability to meet 
rapidly growing demand for 
animal protein.

Business
Eli Lilly and Company (the “company” or “registrant” or "Lilly") was incorporated in 1901 in Indiana to succeed 
to the drug manufacturing business founded in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1876 by Colonel Eli Lilly. We discover, 
develop, manufacture, and market products in two business segments—human pharmaceutical products and 
animal health products. 

The mission of our human pharmaceutical business is to make medicines that help people live longer, 
healthier, more active lives. Our strategy is to create value for all our stakeholders by accelerating the flow of 
innovative new medicines that provide improved outcomes for individual patients. Most of the products we sell 
today were discovered or developed by our own scientists, and our success depends to a great extent on our 
ability to continue to discover, develop, and bring to market innovative new medicines.

Our animal health business, operating through our Elanco division, develops, manufactures, and markets 
products for both food animals and companion animals.

3 3

Human Pharmaceuticals—United States

In the U.S., we distribute human pharmaceutical products principally through independent wholesale 
distributors, with some sales directly to pharmacies. In 2013, 2012, and 2011, three wholesale distributors in 
the U.S.—AmerisourceBergen Corporation, McKesson Corporation, and Cardinal Health, Inc.—each 
accounted for between 10 percent and 19 percent of our consolidated total revenue. No other distributor 
accounted for more than 10 percent of consolidated total revenue in any of those years.

We promote our major human pharmaceutical products in the U.S. through sales representatives who call 
upon physicians and other health care professionals. We advertise in medical journals, distribute literature 
and samples of certain products to physicians, and exhibit at medical meetings. In addition, we advertise 
certain products directly to consumers in the U.S., and we maintain websites with information about our major 
products. We supplement our employee sales force with contract sales organizations as appropriate to 
leverage our own resources and the strengths of our partners in various markets.

We maintain special business groups to service wholesalers, pharmacy benefit managers, managed-care 
organizations (MCOs), government and long-term care institutions, hospitals, and certain retail pharmacies. 
We enter into arrangements with these organizations providing for discounts or rebates on Lilly products.

Human Pharmaceuticals—Outside the United States
Outside the U.S, we promote our human pharmaceutical products primarily through sales representatives. 
While the products marketed vary from country to country, endocrinology products constitute the largest 
single group in total revenue. Distribution patterns vary from country to country. In most countries, we 
maintain our own sales organizations, but in some smaller countries we market our products through 
independent distributors.

Human Pharmaceutical Marketing Collaborations

Certain of our human pharmaceutical products are marketed in arrangements with other pharmaceutical 
companies, including the following:

•  We co-market Cymbalta in Japan with Shionogi & Co. Ltd.

•  Evista is marketed in major European markets by Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH, a subsidiary of 

Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. (Daiichi Sankyo). 

•  Erbitux is marketed in the U.S. and Canada by Bristol-Myers Squibb. We have the option to co-

promote Erbitux in the U.S. and Canada. Outside the U.S. and Canada, Erbitux is commercialized by 
Merck KGaA. We receive royalties from Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck KGaA.

•  Effient is co-promoted with us by Daiichi Sankyo or affiliated companies in the U.S., major European 
markets, Brazil, Mexico, and certain other countries. We retain sole marketing rights in Canada, 
Australia, Russia, and certain other countries. Daiichi Sankyo retains sole marketing rights in Japan 
and certain other countries.

•  Trajenta and Jentadueto are being jointly developed and commercialized with us by Boehringer 

Ingelheim pursuant to a collaboration agreement under which both parties contributed certain  
potential diabetes treatments in mid- and late-stage development to be jointly developed and 
commercialized by the parties.

Animal Health Products

Our Elanco animal health business unit employs field salespeople throughout the U.S. and has an extensive 
sales force outside the U.S.  Elanco sells its products primarily to wholesale distributors. Elanco promotes its 
products primarily to producers and veterinarians for food animal products and to veterinarians for companion 
animal products. Elanco also advertises certain companion animal products directly to pet owners.

Competition

Our human pharmaceutical products compete globally with products of many other companies in highly 
competitive markets. Our animal health products compete globally with products of animal health care 
companies as well as pharmaceutical, chemical, and other companies that operate animal health businesses.

44

Important competitive factors for both human pharmaceutical and animal health products include  
effectiveness, safety, and ease of use; price and demonstrated cost-effectiveness; marketing effectiveness; 
and research and development of new products and processes. Most new products that we introduce must 
compete with other branded or generic products already on the market or products that are later developed by 
competitors. If competitors introduce new products or delivery systems with therapeutic or cost advantages, 
our products can be subject to decreased sales, progressive price reductions, or both. 

We believe our long-term competitive success depends upon discovering and developing (either alone or in 
collaboration with others) or acquiring innovative, cost-effective human pharmaceutical and animal health 
products that provide improved outcomes and deliver value to payers, together with our ability to continuously 
improve the productivity of our operations in a highly competitive environment. There can be no assurance 
that our research and development efforts will result in commercially successful products, and it is possible 
that our products will become uncompetitive from time to time as a result of products developed by our 
competitors.

Generic Pharmaceuticals

One of the biggest competitive challenges we face is from generic pharmaceuticals. In the U.S. and the EU, 
the regulatory approval process for human pharmaceuticals (other than biological products (biologics)) 
exempts generics from costly and time-consuming clinical trials to demonstrate their safety and efficacy, 
allowing generic manufacturers to rely on the safety and efficacy of the innovator product. Therefore, generic 
manufacturers generally invest far less than we do in research and development and can price their products 
much lower than our branded products. Accordingly, when a branded non-biologic human pharmaceutical 
loses its market exclusivity, it normally faces intense price competition from generic forms of the product. In 
many countries outside the U.S., intellectual property protection is weak and we must compete with generic or 
counterfeit versions of our products. Many of our animal health products also compete with generics.

Biosimilars

Some of our current products, including Humalog, Humulin, Erbitux, and ReoPro, and many of the new 
molecular entities in our research pipeline are biologics. Competition for Lilly’s biologics may be affected by 
the approval of follow-on biologics, also known as biosimilars. A biosimilar is a biologic for which marketing 
approval would be granted based on less than a full safety and efficacy package due to the physical/structural 
similarity of the biosimilar to an already-approved biologic as well as reliance on the finding of safety and 
efficacy of the already-approved product. Globally, governments have or are developing regulatory pathways 
to approve biosimilars as alternatives to innovator-developed biologics, but the patent for the existing, 
branded product must expire in a given market before biosimilars may enter that market. The extent to which 
a biosimilar, once approved, will be substituted for the innovator biologic in a way that is similar to traditional 
generic substitution for non-biologic products, is not yet entirely clear, and will depend on a number of 
regulatory and marketplace factors that are still developing.

Managed Care Organizations

The growth of MCOs in the U.S. is also a major factor in the competitive marketplace for human 
pharmaceuticals. It is estimated that approximately two-thirds of the U.S. population now participates in some 
version of managed care. MCOs can include medical insurance companies, medical plan administrators, 
health-maintenance organizations, Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, alliances of hospitals and 
physicians and other physician organizations. MCOs have been consolidating into fewer, larger entities, thus 
enhancing their purchasing strength and importance to us. 

To successfully compete for business with MCOs, we must often demonstrate that our products offer not only 
medical benefits but also cost advantages as compared with other medicines or other forms of care.  As noted 
above, generic drugs are exempt from costly and time-consuming clinical trials to demonstrate their safety 
and efficacy and, as such, typically have lower costs than brand-name drugs. MCOs that focus primarily on 
the immediate cost of drugs often favor generics for this reason. Many governments also encourage the use 
of generics as alternatives to brand-name drugs in their healthcare programs. Laws in the U.S. generally 
allow, and in many cases require, pharmacists to substitute generic drugs that have been rated under 
government procedures to be essentially equivalent to a brand-name drug. The substitution must be made 
unless the prescribing physician expressly forbids it. 

5 5

MCOs typically maintain formularies specifying which drugs are covered under their plans. Exclusion of a 
drug from a formulary can lead to its sharply reduced usage in the MCO patient population. Consequently, 
pharmaceutical companies compete aggressively to have their products included. Where possible, companies 
compete for inclusion based upon unique features of their products, such as greater efficacy, fewer side 
effects, or greater patient ease of use. A lower overall cost of therapy is also an important factor. Products that 
demonstrate fewer therapeutic advantages must compete for inclusion based primarily on price. We have 
been generally, although not always, successful in having our major products included on MCO formularies.

Patents, Trademarks, and Other Intellectual Property Rights

Overview

Intellectual property protection is critical to our ability to successfully commercialize our life sciences 
innovations and invest in the search for new medicines. We own, have applied for, or are licensed under, a 
large number of patents in the U.S. and many other countries relating to products, product uses, formulations, 
and manufacturing processes. In addition, as discussed below, for some products we have additional effective 
intellectual property protection in the form of data protection under pharmaceutical regulatory laws.

The patent protection anticipated to be of most relevance to human pharmaceuticals is provided by national 
patents claiming the active ingredient (the compound patent), particularly those in major markets such as the 
U.S., various European countries, and Japan. These patents may be issued based upon the filing of 
international patent applications, usually filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). Patent applications 
covering the compounds are generally filed during the Discovery Research Phase of the drug discovery 
process, which is described in the “Research and Development” section of “Business.” In general, national 
patents in each relevant country are available for a period of 20 years from the filing date of the PCT 
application, which is often years prior to the launch of a commercial product. Further patent term adjustments 
and restorations may extend the original patent term:

•  Patent term adjustment is a statutory right available to all U.S. patent applicants to provide relief in 
the event that a patent is delayed during examination by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

•  Patent term restoration is a statutory right provided to U.S. patents that claim inventions subject to 

review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A single patent for a human pharmaceutical 
product may be eligible for patent term restoration to make up for a portion of the time invested in 
clinical trials and the FDA review process. Patent term restoration is limited by a formula and cannot 
be calculated until product approval due to uncertainty about the duration of clinical trials and the time 
it takes the FDA to review an application. There is a five-year cap on any restoration, and no patent 
may be extended for more than 14 years beyond FDA approval. Some countries outside the U.S. also 
offer forms of patent term restoration. For example, Supplementary Protection Certificates are 
sometimes available to extend the life of a European patent up to an additional five years.  Similarly, 
in Japan, Korea, and Australia, patent terms can be extended up to five years, depending on the 
length of regulatory review and other factors.

Loss of effective patent protection for human pharmaceuticals typically results in the loss of effective market 
exclusivity for the product, which can result in severe and rapid decline in sales of the product. However, in 
some cases the innovator company may be protected from approval of generic or other follow-on versions of 
a new medicine beyond the expiration of the compound patent through manufacturing trade secrets, later-
expiring patents on methods of use or formulations, or data protection that may be available under 
pharmaceutical regulatory laws. The primary forms of data protection are as follows:

•  Regulatory authorities in major markets generally grant data package protection for a period of years 
following new drug approvals in recognition of the substantial investment required to complete clinical 
trials. Data package protection prohibits other manufacturers from submitting regulatory applications 
for marketing approval based on the innovator company’s regulatory submission data for the drug. 
The base period of data package protection is five years in the U.S. (12 years for new biologics as 
described below), ten years in the EU, and eight years in Japan. The period begins on the date of 
product approval and runs concurrently with the patent term for any relevant patent.

•  Under the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (enacted in the U.S. in 2010), the FDA has 
the authority to approve similar versions (biosimilars) of innovative biologics. A competitor seeking 

66

approval of a biosimilar must file an application to show its molecule is highly similar to an approved 
innovator biologic, address the challenges of biologics manufacturing, and include a certain amount 
of safety and efficacy data which the FDA will determine on a case-by-case basis. Under the data 
protection provisions of this law, the FDA cannot approve a biosimilar application until 12 years after 
initial marketing approval of the innovator biologic, subject to certain conditions. 

• 

In the U.S., the FDA has the authority to grant additional data protection for approved drugs where 
the sponsor conducts specified testing in pediatric or adolescent populations. If granted, this 
“pediatric exclusivity” provides an additional six months, which are added to the term of data 
protection as well as to the term of any relevant patents, to the extent these protections have not 
already expired.

•  Under the U.S. orphan drug law, a specific use of a drug or biological product can receive "orphan" 
designation if it is intended to treat a disease or condition affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the 
U.S., or affecting more than 200,000 people but not reasonably expected to recover its development 
and marketing costs through U.S. sales. Among other benefits, orphan designation entitles the 
particular use of the drug to seven years of market exclusivity, meaning that the FDA cannot (with 
limited exceptions) approve another marketing application for the same drug for the same indication 
until expiration of the seven-year period. Unlike pediatric exclusivity, the orphan exclusivity period is 
independent of and runs in parallel with any applicable patents.

Outside the major markets, the adequacy and effectiveness of intellectual property protection for human 
pharmaceuticals varies widely. Under the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Agreement (TRIPs) 
administered by the World Trade Organization (WTO), more than 140 countries have now agreed to provide 
non-discriminatory protection for most pharmaceutical inventions and to assure that adequate and effective 
rights are available to patent owners. Because of TRIPs transition provisions, dispute resolution mechanisms, 
substantive limitations, and ineffectual implementation, it is difficult to assess when and how much we will 
benefit commercially from this protection.

Certain of our Elanco animal health products are covered by patents or other forms of intellectual property 
protection. In general, upon loss of effective market exclusivity for our animal health products, we have not 
experienced the rapid and severe declines in revenues that are common in the human pharmaceutical 
segment.

There is no assurance that the patents we are seeking will be granted or that the patents we hold would be 
found valid and enforceable if challenged. Moreover, patents relating to particular products, uses, 
formulations, or processes do not preclude other manufacturers from employing alternative processes or 
marketing alternative products or formulations that compete with our patented products. In addition, 
competitors or other third parties sometimes may assert claims that our activities infringe patents or other 
intellectual property rights held by them, or allege a third-party right of ownership in our existing intellectual 
property.

Our Intellectual Property Portfolio

We consider intellectual property protection for certain products, processes, and uses—particularly those 
products discussed below—to be important to our operations. For many of our products, in addition to the 
compound patent, we hold other patents on manufacturing processes, formulations, or uses that may extend 
exclusivity beyond the expiration of the compound patent.

The most relevant U.S. patent protection or data protection for our larger or recently launched patent-
protected marketed products is as follows:

•  Alimta is protected by a compound patent (2016) plus pediatric exclusivity (2017), and a vitamin 

dosage regimen patent (2021) plus pediatric exclusivity (2022).

•  Cialis is protected by compound and use patents (2017).

•  Cymbalta was protected by a compound patent plus pediatric exclusivity until December 2013.

•  Effient is protected by a compound patent (2017).

•  Evista is protected by patents on the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis (March 2014). 

7 7

•  Humalog was protected by a compound patent until May 2013.

•  Strattera is protected by a patent covering its use in treating attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder 

(2016) plus pediatric exclusivity (2017).

•  Trajenta and Jentadueto are protected by a compound patent (2023), and Boehringer Ingelheim has 

applied for a patent extension to 2025 under the patent restoration laws.

Outside the U.S., important patent protection or data protection includes: 

•  Alimta in major European countries (compound patent 2015, vitamin dosage regimen patent 2021) 
and Japan (compound patent 2015, patent covering use to treat cancer concomitantly with vitamins 
2021) 

•  Cialis in major European countries (compound patent 2017)

•  Cymbalta in major European countries (data package protection second half of 2014) and Japan 

(data package protection 2018) 

•  Zyprexa in Japan (compound patent 2015).

U.S. patent protection or data protection for our new molecular entities that have been submitted for 
regulatory review is as follows (additional information about these molecules is provided in "Management’s 
Discussion and Analysis—Late-Stage Pipeline”):

•  Dulaglutide - compound patent 2024 (not including possible patent extension)

•  Empagliflozin - compound patent 2025 (not including possible patent extension)

•  Ramucirumab - data package protection 12 years following approval

•  Our new insulin glargine product has the same amino acid sequence as Sanofi-Aventis' Lantus ® and 

is not covered by any patent protection. 

Worldwide, we sell all of our major products under trademarks that we consider in the aggregate to be 
important to our operations. Trademark protection varies throughout the world, with protection continuing in 
some countries as long as the mark is used, and in other countries as long as it is registered. Registrations 
are normally for fixed but renewable terms.

Patent Licenses

Most of our major products were discovered in our own laboratories and are not subject to significant license 
agreements. Two of our largest products, Cialis and Alimta, are subject to patent assignments or licenses 
granted to us by others.

•  The compound patent for Cialis is the subject of a license agreement with GlaxoSmithKline (Glaxo), 
which assigns to us exclusively all rights in the compound. The agreement calls for royalties of a 
single-digit percentage of net sales. The agreement is not subject to termination by Glaxo for any 
reason other than a material breach by Lilly of the royalty obligation, after a substantial cure period.

•  The compound patent for Alimta is the subject of a license agreement with Princeton University, 

granting us an irrevocable exclusive worldwide license to the compound patents for the lives of the 
patents in the respective territories. The agreement calls for royalties of a single-digit percentage of 
net sales. The agreement is not subject to termination by Princeton for any reason other than a 
material breach by Lilly of the royalty obligation, after a substantial cure period. Alimta is also the 
subject of a worldwide, nonexclusive license to certain patents owned by Takeda Pharmaceutical 
Company Limited. The agreement calls for royalties of a single-digit percentage of net sales in 
countries covered by a relevant patent. The agreement is subject to termination for material default 
and failure to cure by Lilly and in the event that Lilly becomes bankrupt or insolvent.

Patent Challenges

In the U.S., the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, commonly known as the 
Hatch-Waxman Act, made a complex set of changes to both patent and new-drug-approval laws for human 
pharmaceuticals. Before the Hatch-Waxman Act, no drug could be approved without providing the FDA 

88

complete safety and efficacy studies, i.e., a complete New Drug Application (NDA). The Hatch-Waxman Act 
authorizes the FDA to approve generic versions of innovative human pharmaceuticals (other than biologics) 
without such information by filing an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). In an ANDA, the generic 
manufacturer must demonstrate only “bioequivalence” between the generic version and the NDA-approved 
drug—not safety and efficacy.

Absent a patent challenge, the FDA cannot approve an ANDA until after the innovator’s patents expire. 
However, after the innovator has marketed its product for four years, a generic manufacturer may file an 
ANDA alleging that one or more of the patents listed in the innovator’s NDA are invalid or not infringed. This 
allegation is commonly known as a “Paragraph IV certification.” The innovator must then file suit against the 
generic manufacturer to protect its patents. The FDA is then prohibited from approving the generic company’s 
application for a 30- to 42-month period (which can be shortened or extended by the trial court judge hearing 
the patent challenge). If one or more of the NDA-listed patents are challenged, the first filer(s) of a Paragraph 
IV certification may be entitled to a 180-day period of market exclusivity over all other generic manufacturers.

Generic manufacturers use Paragraph IV certifications extensively to challenge patents on innovative human 
pharmaceuticals. In addition, generic companies have shown an increasing willingness to launch “at risk,” i.e., 
after receiving ANDA approval but before final resolution of their patent challenge. We are currently in 
litigation with numerous generic manufacturers arising from their Paragraph IV certifications challenging the 
vitamin dosage regimen patent for Alimta. For more information on this litigation, see “Financial Statements 
and Supplementary Data—Note 16, Contingencies.”

Outside the United States, the legal doctrines and processes by which pharmaceutical patents can be 
challenged vary widely. In recent years, we have experienced an increase in patent challenges from generic 
manufacturers in many countries outside the U.S., and we expect this trend to continue. For more information 
on administrative challenges and litigation involving our Alimta vitamin dosage regimen patents in Europe, see 
“Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 16, Contingencies.” 

Government Regulation

Regulation of Our Operations

Our operations are regulated extensively by numerous national, state, and local agencies. The lengthy 
process of laboratory and clinical testing, data analysis, manufacturing development, and regulatory review 
necessary for governmental approvals is extremely costly and can significantly delay product introductions. 
Promotion, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution of human pharmaceutical and animal health products 
are extensively regulated in all major world markets. We are required to conduct extensive post-marketing 
surveillance of the safety of the products we sell. In addition, our operations are subject to complex federal, 
state, local, and foreign laws and regulations concerning the environment, occupational health and safety, and 
privacy.  Animal health product regulations address the administration of the product in or on the animal, and 
in the case of food animal products, the impact on humans who consume the food as well as the impact on 
the environment at the production site. The laws and regulations affecting the manufacture and sale of current 
products and the discovery, development, and introduction of new products will continue to require substantial 
effort, expense, and capital investment.

Of particular importance is the FDA in the United States. Pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act, the FDA has jurisdiction over all of our human pharmaceutical products and certain animal health 
products in the U.S. and administers requirements covering the testing, safety, effectiveness, manufacturing, 
quality control, distribution, labeling, marketing, advertising, dissemination of information, and post-marketing 
surveillance of those products. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency also regulate some animal health products.  

The FDA extensively regulates all aspects of manufacturing quality for human pharmaceuticals under its 
current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) regulations. Outside the U.S., our products and operations are 
subject to similar regulatory requirements, notably by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in the EU and 
the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) in Japan. Specific regulatory requirements vary from 
country to country. We make substantial investments of capital and operating expenses to implement 
comprehensive, company-wide quality systems in our manufacturing, product development, and process 
development operations to ensure sustained compliance with cGMP and similar regulations. However, in the 

9 9

event we fail to adhere to these requirements in the future, we could be subject to interruptions in production, 
fines and penalties, and delays in new product approvals. Certain of our products are manufactured by third 
parties, and their failure to comply with these regulations could adversely affect us through failure to supply 
product to us or delays in new product approvals.

The marketing, promotional, and pricing practices of human pharmaceutical manufacturers, as well as the 
manner in which manufacturers interact with purchasers and prescribers, are subject to various other U.S. 
federal and state laws, including the federal anti-kickback statute and the False Claims Act and state laws 
governing kickbacks, false claims, unfair trade practices, and consumer protection. These laws are 
administered by, among others, the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Office of Inspector General of the 
Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Trade Commission, the Office of Personnel 
Management, and state attorneys general. Over the past several years, the FDA, the DOJ, and many of these 
other agencies have increased their enforcement activities with respect to pharmaceutical companies and 
increased the inter-agency coordination of enforcement activities. Several claims brought by these agencies 
against Lilly and other companies under these and other laws have resulted in corporate criminal sanctions 
and very substantial civil settlements. 

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA) prohibits certain individuals and entities, including 
U.S. publicly traded companies, from promising, offering, or giving anything of value to foreign officials with 
the corrupt intent of influencing the foreign official for the purpose of helping the company obtain or retain 
business or gain any improper advantage. The FCPA also imposes specific recordkeeping and internal 
controls requirements on U.S. publicly traded companies. As noted above, outside the U.S., our business is 
heavily regulated and therefore involves significant interaction with foreign officials. Additionally, in many 
countries outside the U.S., the health care providers who prescribe human pharmaceuticals are employed by 
the government and the purchasers of human pharmaceuticals are government entities; therefore, our 
interactions with these prescribers and purchasers are subject to regulation under the FCPA. The SEC and 
the DOJ have increased their FCPA enforcement activities with respect to pharmaceutical companies.

In addition to the U.S. application and enforcement of the FCPA, the various jurisdictions in which we operate 
and supply our products have laws and regulations aimed at preventing and penalizing corrupt and 
anticompetitive behavior. In recent years, several jurisdictions, including China, Brazil, and the U.K., have 
enhanced their laws and regulations in this area, increased their enforcement activities, and/or increased the 
level of cross-border coordination and information sharing.

It is possible that we could become subject to additional administrative and legal proceedings and actions, 
which could include claims for civil penalties (including treble damages under the False Claims Act), criminal 
sanctions, and administrative remedies, including exclusion from U.S. federal and other health care programs. 
It is possible that an adverse outcome in future actions could have a material adverse impact on our 
consolidated results of operations, liquidity, and financial position.

Regulations Affecting Human Pharmaceutical Pricing, Reimbursement, and Access

In the United States, government and government-funded healthcare programs often impose direct and 
indirect price controls. We are required to provide rebates to the federal government and respective state 
governments on their purchases of our human pharmaceuticals under state Medicaid and Medicaid Managed 
Care programs (minimum of 23.1 percent plus adjustments for price increases over time) and rebates to  
private payers who cover patients in certain types of health care facilities that serve low-income and 
uninsured patients (known as 340B facilities). No rebates are required at this time in the Medicare Part B 
(physician and hospital outpatient) program where reimbursement is set on an "average selling price plus 4.3 
percent" formula. Drug manufacturers are required to provide a discount of 50 percent of the cost of branded 
prescription drugs for Medicare Part D participants who are in the “doughnut hole” (the coverage gap in 
Medicare prescription drug coverage). Additionally, an annual fee is imposed on pharmaceutical 
manufacturers and importers that sell branded prescription drugs to specified government programs.  

Rebates are also negotiated in the private sector. We give rebates to private payers who provide prescription 
drug benefits to seniors covered by Medicare and to private payers who provide prescription drug benefits to 
their customers. These rebates are affected by the introduction of competitive products and generics in the 
same class.  

10

10

In most international markets, we operate in an environment of government-mandated cost-containment 
programs, which may include price controls, international reference pricing (to other countries’ prices), 
discounts and rebates, therapeutic reference pricing (to other, often generic, pharmaceutical choices), 
restrictions on physician prescription levels, and mandatory generic substitution.

Globally, public and private payers are increasingly restricting access to human pharmaceuticals based on the 
payers' assessments of comparative effectiveness and value.  The U.S. has established the Patient Centered 
Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), a federally-funded, private, non-profit corporation empowered to fund 
and disseminate comparative effectiveness research and build infrastructure for improved outcomes analysis. 
While PCORI has no authority to impose formulary changes directly in government-funded health programs, 
they are expected to drive an increase in CER studies which payers can use for formulary decisions and/or 
medical societies can use to inform medical guidelines development. Many countries outside of the U.S. use 
formal health technology assessment (HTA) processes to determine formulary placement and purchase price. 

We cannot predict the extent to which our business may be affected by these or other potential future 
legislative or regulatory developments. However, in general we expect that state, federal, and international 
legislative and regulatory developments could have further negative effects on pricing and reimbursement for 
our human pharmaceutical products.

Research and Development

Our commitment to research and development dates back more than 100 years. Our research and 
development activities are responsible for the discovery and development of most of the products we offer 
today. We invest heavily in research and development because we believe it is critical to our long-term 
competitiveness. At the end of 2013, we employed approximately 7,850 people in human pharmaceutical and 
animal health research and development activities, including a substantial number of physicians, scientists 
holding graduate or postgraduate degrees, and highly skilled technical personnel. Our research and 
development expenses were $5.53 billion in 2013, $5.28 billion in 2012, and $5.02 billion in 2011.

Our human pharmaceutical research and development focuses on five therapeutic categories: cancer; 
endocrine diseases, including diabetes and musculoskeletal disorders; central nervous system and related 
diseases; autoimmune diseases; and cardiovascular diseases. However, we remain opportunistic, selectively 
pursuing promising leads in other therapeutic areas. We are also investing in molecules with multi-pathway 
pharmacological efficacy to expand the potential of our therapeutic portfolio. We have a strong biotechnology 
research program, with approximately half of our clinical-stage pipeline, and more than half of our late-stage 
pipeline, currently consisting of biotechnology molecules. In addition to discovering and developing new 
molecular entities, we seek to expand the value of existing products through new uses, formulations, and 
therapeutic approaches that provide additional value to patients. Across all our therapeutic areas, we are 
increasingly focusing our efforts on tailored therapeutics, seeking to identify and use advanced diagnostic 
tools and other information to identify specific subgroups of patients for whom our medicines—or those of 
other companies—will be the best treatment option.

To supplement our internal efforts, we collaborate with others, including academic institutions and research-
based pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. We use the services of physicians, hospitals, medical 
schools, and other research organizations worldwide to conduct clinical trials to establish the safety and 
effectiveness of our human pharmaceutical products. We actively seek out external investments in research 
and technologies that hold the promise to complement and strengthen our own efforts. These investments 
can take many forms, including licensing arrangements, co-development and co-marketing agreements, co-
promotion arrangements, joint ventures, and acquisitions.

Our Elanco animal health innovation strategy is focused on identifying and developing promising technologies 
and potential products from internal and external sources to meet unmet veterinary needs. Our animal health 
scientists also leverage discoveries from our human health laboratories to develop products to enhance the 
health and wellbeing of livestock and pets.

Human pharmaceutical development is time-consuming, expensive, and risky. On average, only one out of 
many thousands of molecules discovered by researchers ultimately becomes an approved medicine. The 
process from discovery to regulatory approval can take 12 to 15 years or longer. Drug candidates can fail at 
any stage of the process, and even late-stage drug candidates sometimes fail to receive regulatory approval 

1111

or achieve commercial success. After approval and launch of a product, we expend considerable resources 
on post-marketing surveillance and additional clinical studies to collect and understand the benefits and 
potential risks of medicines as they are used as therapeutics. The following describes in more detail the 
research and development process for human pharmaceutical products:

Phases of New Drug Development

•  Discovery Research Phase

The earliest phase of new drug research and development, the discovery phase, can take many years. 
Scientists identify, design, and synthesize promising molecules, screening tens of thousands of 
molecules for their effect on biological “targets” that appear to play an important role in one or more 
diseases. Targets can be part of the body, such as a protein, receptor, or gene; or foreign, such as a 
virus or bacteria. Some targets have been proven to affect disease processes, but often the target is 
unproven and may later prove to be irrelevant to the disease. Molecules that have the desired effect on 
the target and meet other design criteria become “lead” molecules and move to the next phase of 
development. The probability of any one such lead molecule becoming a commercial product is 
extremely low.

• 

Early Development Phase

The early development phase involves refining lead molecules, understanding how to manufacture them 
efficiently, and completing initial testing for safety and efficacy. Safety testing is done first in laboratory 
tests and animals as necessary, to identify toxicity and other potential safety issues that would preclude 
use in humans. The first human tests (often referred to as Phase I) are normally conducted in small 
groups of healthy volunteers to assess safety and find the potential dosing range. After a safe dose has 
been established, the drug is administered to small populations of patients (Phase II) to look for initial 
signs of efficacy in treating the targeted disease and to continue to assess safety. In parallel, scientists 
work to identify safe, effective, and economical manufacturing processes. Long-term animal studies 
continue to test for potential safety issues. Of the molecules that enter the early development phase, 
typically less than 10 percent move on to the product phase. The early development phase normally 
takes several years to complete.

• 

Product Phase

Product phase (Phase III) molecules have already demonstrated safety and, typically, shown initial 
evidence of efficacy. As a result, these molecules generally have a higher likelihood of success. The 
molecules are tested in much larger patient populations to demonstrate efficacy to a predetermined level 
of statistical significance and to continue to develop the safety profile. These trials are generally global in 
nature and are designed to generate the data necessary to submit the molecule to regulatory agencies 
for marketing approval. The potential new drug is generally compared with existing competitive 
therapies, placebo, or both. The resulting data is compiled and submitted to regulatory agencies around 
the world. Phase III testing varies by disease state, but can often last from three to four years.

• 

Submission Phase

Once a molecule is submitted, the time to final marketing approval can vary from six months to several 
years, depending on variables such as the disease state, the strength and complexity of the data 
presented, the novelty of the target or compound, and the time required for the agency(ies) to evaluate 
the submission. There is no guarantee that a potential medicine will receive marketing approval, or that 
decisions on marketing approvals or indications will be consistent across geographic areas.

We believe our investments in research, both internally and in collaboration with others, have been rewarded 
by the large number of new molecules and new indications for existing molecules that we have in all stages of 
development. We currently have approximately 60 drug candidates across all stages of human testing and a 
larger number of projects in preclinical development. Among our new investigational molecules currently in 
the product phase of development or awaiting regulatory approval are potential therapies for diabetes, various 
cancers, Alzheimer’s disease, pain, high-risk vascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, and 
psoriatic arthritis. We are studying many other drug candidates in the earlier stages of development, including 

12

12

molecules targeting various cancers, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, pain, migraine, bipolar 
disorder, anemia, cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disorders, renal diseases, lupus, and Crohn's 
disease. We are also developing new uses, formulations, or delivery methods for many of these molecules as 
well as several currently marketed products, including Axiron, Cialis, Effient, Humalog, and Trajenta. See 
"Management's Discussion and Analysis--Late-Stage Pipeline," for more information on certain of our product 
candidates.

Raw Materials and Product Supply

Most of the principal materials we use in our manufacturing operations are available from more than one 
source. However, we obtain certain raw materials principally from only one source. In the event one of these 
suppliers was unable to provide the materials or product, we generally have sufficient inventory to supply the 
market until an alternative source of supply can be implemented. However, in the event of an extended failure 
of a supplier, it is possible that we could experience an interruption in supply until we established new sources 
or, in some cases, implemented alternative processes.

We produce most of our products in our own facilities. Our principal active ingredient manufacturing occurs at 
four owned sites in the U.S. as well as owned sites in Ireland, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom. Finishing 
operations, including formulation, filling, assembling, delivery device manufacturing, and packaging, take 
place at a number of sites throughout the world. We utilize third parties for certain active ingredient 
manufacturing and finishing operations.  

We manage our supply chain (including our own facilities, contracted arrangements, and inventory) in a way 
that should allow us to meet all expected product demand while maintaining flexibility to reallocate 
manufacturing capacity to improve efficiency and respond to changes in supply and demand. To maintain a 
stable supply of our products, we take a variety of actions including a company-wide, comprehensive quality 
system, inventory management, and back-up sites.

However, human pharmaceutical and animal health production processes are complex, highly regulated, and 
vary widely from product to product. Shifting or adding manufacturing capacity can be a very lengthy process 
requiring significant capital expenditures, process modifications, and regulatory approvals. Accordingly, if we 
were to experience extended plant shutdowns at one of our own facilities, extended failure of a contract 
supplier, or extraordinary unplanned increases in demand, we could experience an interruption in supply of 
certain products or product shortages until production could be resumed or expanded.

Quality Assurance

Our success depends in great measure upon customer confidence in the quality of our products and in the 
integrity of the data that support their safety and effectiveness. Product quality arises from a total commitment 
to quality in all parts of our operations, including research and development, purchasing, facilities planning, 
manufacturing, distribution, and dissemination of information about our medicines. 

Quality of production processes involves strict control of ingredients, equipment, facilities, manufacturing 
methods, packaging materials, and labeling. We perform tests at various stages of production processes and 
on the final product to assure that the product meets all regulatory requirements and Lilly standards. These 
tests may involve chemical and physical chemical analyses, microbiological testing, testing in animals, or a 
combination. Additional assurance of quality is provided by a corporate quality-assurance group that audits 
and monitors all aspects of quality related to human pharmaceutical and animal health manufacturing 
procedures and systems in the parent company, subsidiaries and affiliates, and third-party suppliers.

Risk Factors
In addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report, the following risk factors should be 
considered carefully in evaluating our company. It is possible that our business, financial condition, liquidity, or 
results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks.

1313

•  Pharmaceutical research and development is very costly and highly uncertain; we may not 

succeed in developing or acquiring commercially successful products to replace revenues of 
products losing intellectual property protection. 

There are many difficulties and uncertainties inherent in human pharmaceutical research and 
development and the introduction of new products. There is a high rate of failure inherent in new drug 
discovery and development. To bring a drug from the discovery phase to market typically takes a decade 
or more and often costs well in excess of $1 billion. Failure can occur at any point in the process, 
including late in the process after substantial investment. As a result, most funds invested in research 
programs will not generate financial returns. New product candidates that appear promising in 
development may fail to reach the market or may have only limited commercial success because of 
efficacy or safety concerns, inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals and payer reimbursement, 
limited scope of approved uses, difficulty or excessive costs to manufacture, or infringement of the 
patents or intellectual property rights of others. Regulatory agencies are establishing increasingly high 
hurdles for the efficacy and safety of new products; delays and uncertainties in the FDA approval process 
and the approval processes in other countries can result in delays in product launches and lost market 
opportunity. In addition, it can be very difficult to predict sales growth rates of new products.

We cannot state with certainty when or whether our products now under development will be approved or 
launched; whether we will be able to develop, license or otherwise acquire additional product candidates 
or products; or whether our products, once launched, will be commercially successful. We must maintain 
a continuous flow of successful new products and successful new indications or brand extensions for 
existing products sufficient both to cover our substantial research and development costs and to replace 
sales that are lost as profitable products lose intellectual property exclusivity or are displaced by 
competing products or therapies. Failure to do so in the short-term or long-term would have a material 
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial position and prospects.

•  We face intense competition from multinational pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology 

companies, and lower-cost generic manufacturers.  

We compete with a large number of multinational pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, 
and generic pharmaceutical companies. To compete successfully, we must continue to deliver to the 
market innovative, cost-effective products that meet important medical needs. Our product revenues can 
be adversely affected by the introduction by competitors of branded products that are perceived as 
superior by the marketplace, by generic or biosimilar versions of our branded products, and by generic 
versions of other products in the same therapeutic class as our branded products. See “Business—
Competition,” for more details.

•  We depend on products with intellectual property protection for most of our revenues, cash flows, 
and earnings; we have lost or will lose effective intellectual property protection for many of those 
products in the next several years, which may result in rapid and severe declines in revenues.

A number of our top-selling human pharmaceutical products recently have lost, or will lose in the next 
several years, significant patent protection and/or data protection in the U.S. as well as key countries 
outside the United States, as illustrated in the tables below:

For non-biological products, loss of exclusivity (whether by expiration or as a consequence of litigation) 
typically results in the entry of one or more generic competitors, leading to a rapid and severe decline in 
revenues. For biological products (such as Humalog, Humulin, and Erbitux), loss of exclusivity may or 
may not result in the near-term entry of competitor versions (i.e., biosimilars) due to development 
timelines, manufacturing challenges, and/or uncertainties in the regulatory pathways for approval of the 
competitor versions. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis—Executive Overview—Legal, 
Regulatory, and Other Matters,” and "Business—Patents, Trademarks, and Other Intellectual Property 
Rights," for more details. 

•  Our long-term success depends on intellectual property protection; if our intellectual property 

rights are invalidated or circumvented, our business will be adversely affected. 

Our long-term success depends on our ability to continually discover, develop, and commercialize 
innovative new pharmaceutical products. Without strong intellectual property protection, we would be 
unable to generate the returns necessary to support the enormous investments in research and 
development and capital as well as other expenditures required to bring new drugs to the market.

Intellectual property protection varies throughout the world and is subject to change over time. In the U.S., 
the Hatch-Waxman Act provides generic companies powerful incentives to seek to invalidate our human 
pharmaceutical patents; as a result, we expect that our U.S. patents on major pharmaceutical products 
will be routinely challenged, and there can be no assurance that our patents will be upheld. We face 

15

15

generic manufacturer challenges to our patents outside the U.S. as well. The entry of generic competitors 
typically results in rapid and severe declines in sales. In addition, competitors or other third parties may 
claim that our activities infringe patents or other intellectual property rights held by them. If successful, 
such claims could result in our being unable to market a product in a particular territory or being required 
to pay damages for past infringement or royalties on future sales. See “Business—Patents, Trademarks, 
and Other Intellectual Property Rights,” and "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 16, 
Contingencies," for more details.

•  Our human pharmaceutical business is subject to increasing government price controls and other 

restrictions on pricing, reimbursement, and access for our drugs. 

The continuing prominence of U.S. budget deficits as both a policy and political issue increases the risk 
that taxes, fees, rebates, or other federal measures that would further reduce pharmaceutical companies’ 
revenue or increase expenses may be enacted. Certain federal and state health care proposals, including 
state price controls, continue to be debated, and could place downward pressure on pharmaceutical 
industry sales or prices. The Medicare Independent Payment Advisory Board established under the 
Affordable Care and Patient Protection Act is empowered to recommend cost reduction policies under 
certain circumstances. These proposals, if implemented, could negatively affect revenues.  

International operations also are generally subject to extensive price and market regulations. Proposals 
for cost-containment measures are pending in a number of countries, including proposals that would 
directly or indirectly impose additional price controls, limit access to or reimbursement for our products, or 
reduce the value of our intellectual-property protection. Such proposals are expected to increase in both 
frequency and impact, given the pressures on national and regional health care budgets as a result of 
continued austerity measures being pursued in a number of countries and the desire to manage health 
expenses carefully even as economies recover. In addition, governments in many emerging markets are 
becoming increasingly active in expanding the country’s health care system offerings. Some governments 
may adopt a generics-only policy which reduces current and future access to our human pharmaceutical 
products. Others may use some of the approaches to restrict pricing, reimbursement and access outlined 
above.   

We expect pricing, reimbursement, and access pressures from both governments and private payers 
inside and outside the U.S. to become more severe. See “Business—Regulations Affecting Human 
Pharmaceutical Pricing, Reimbursement, and Access,” for more details.

•  Regulatory compliance problems could be damaging to the company. 

The marketing, promotional, and pricing practices of human pharmaceutical manufacturers, as well as the 
manner in which manufacturers interact with purchasers, prescribers, and patients, are subject to 
extensive regulation. Many companies, including Lilly, have been subject to claims related to these 
practices asserted by federal, state and foreign governmental authorities, private payers, and consumers. 
These claims have resulted in substantial expense and other significant consequences to us. It is 
possible that we could become subject to such investigations and that the outcome could include criminal 
charges and fines, penalties, or other monetary or non-monetary remedies, including exclusion from U.S. 
federal and other health care programs. In addition, regulatory issues concerning compliance with cGMP 
regulations (and comparable foreign regulations) for pharmaceutical products can lead to product recalls 
and seizures, interruption of production leading to product shortages, and delays in the approvals of new 
products pending resolution of the issues. We are now operating under a Corporate Integrity Agreement 
with the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that requires 
us to maintain comprehensive compliance programs governing our research, manufacturing, and sales 
and marketing of pharmaceuticals. A material failure to comply with the agreement could result in severe 
sanctions to the company. See “Business—Regulation of our Operations,” for more details.

•  Pharmaceutical products can develop unexpected safety or efficacy concerns, which could have a 

material adverse effect on revenues. 

Human pharmaceutical products receive regulatory approval based on data obtained in controlled clinical 
trials of limited duration. After approval, the products are used for longer periods of time by much larger 
numbers of patients; we and others (including regulatory agencies and private payers) collect extensive 
information on the efficacy and safety of our marketed products. In addition, we or others may conduct 

1616

post-marketing clinical studies on efficacy and safety of our marketed products. New safety or efficacy 
data from these sources may result in product label changes that could reduce the product's market 
acceptance and result in declining sales. Serious safety or efficacy issues that arise after approval for 
marketing could result in voluntary or mandatory product recalls or withdrawals from the market. Safety 
issues could also result in costly product liability claims.

•  We face many product liability claims and are self-insured; we could face large numbers of claims 

in the future, which could adversely affect our business. 
We are subject to a substantial number of product liability claims involving primarily Byetta®, Darvon™, 
Prozac, and Actos®. See “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 16, Contingencies,” for 
more information on our current product liability litigation. Because of the nature of pharmaceutical 
products, we could become subject to large numbers of product liability claims for these or other products 
in the future, which could require substantial expenditures to resolve and, if involving marketed products, 
could adversely affect sales of the product. Due to a very restrictive market for product liability insurance, 
we are self-insured for product liability losses for all our currently marketed products. 

•  Manufacturing difficulties or disruptions could lead to product supply problems. 

Pharmaceutical manufacturing is complex and highly regulated. Manufacturing difficulties at our facilities 
or contracted facilities, or the failure or refusal of a contract manufacturer to supply contracted quantities, 
could result in product shortages, leading to lost revenue. Such difficulties or disruptions could result from 
quality or regulatory compliance problems, natural disasters, or inability to obtain sole-source raw or 
intermediate materials. In addition, given the difficulties in predicting sales of new products and the very 
long lead times necessary for the expansion of pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity, it is possible that 
we could have difficulty meeting demand for new products. See “Business—Raw Materials and Product 
Supply,” for more details.

•  We depend on information technology systems and infrastructure to operate our business; 

system inadequacies or operating failures could harm our business.  

We rely to a large extent on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of complex information technology 
systems and networks, some of which are within the company and some of which are outsourced. These 
systems and networks are potentially vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety of sources, 
including energy or telecommunications failures, breakdowns, natural disasters, terrorism, war, computer 
malware or other malicious intrusions, and random attacks. To date, system interruptions have been 
infrequent and have not had a material impact on our consolidated results of operations. We have 
implemented extensive measures to prevent, respond to, and minimize the impact of system 
interruptions. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will prevent future interruptions that 
would have a material adverse effect on our business.

•  Unauthorized disclosures of our trade secrets and other confidential data could impair our 
valuable intellectual property, harm our competitive position, and expose us to regulatory 
penalties.  

A great deal of sensitive, confidential data is stored in our information systems and networks, including 
valuable trade secrets and intellectual property, corporate strategic plans, marketing plans, customer 
information, and personally identifiable information (such as employee and patient information). Some of 
this information is created, accessed, and/or maintained by third parties. The confidentiality of this 
information may be breached through malicious intrusions by private or governmental actors through 
human or electronic means, including “hacking” or “cyber-attacks,” or through negligent or wrongful 
conduct by employees or others with permitted access to our systems and data. The rapid growth of 
social media exacerbates the risk of confidentiality breaches. Unauthorized disclosure of trade secret 
information could impair our ability to secure and maintain patent rights and cause us to lose other 
competitive advantages.  Unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable information could expose us 
to sanctions for violations of data privacy laws and regulations and could damage the public trust in our 
company. Breaches of our data security may be very difficult to detect, and once detected, their impact 
may be very difficult to assess. To date, the data security breaches of which we have become aware have 
been infrequent in occurrence and, to the extent we have been able to measure their financial impact on 
our consolidated results of operations, such impact has not been material. We have invested and 

17

17

continue to invest to prevent, monitor, detect, and respond to data security breaches by strengthening our 
information technology systems, business processes, and training, and strengthening data protection 
requirements for third parties that hold our confidential information. However, despite these efforts, we 
expect data security breaches to continue, and there can be no assurance that these efforts will prevent 
data security breaches that would have a material adverse effect on our business.

•  Reliance on third-party relationships and outsourcing arrangements could adversely affect our 

business. 

We utilize third parties, including suppliers, alliances with other pharmaceutical and biotechnology 
companies, and third-party service providers, for selected aspects of product development, the 
manufacture and commercialization of certain products, support for information technology systems, and 
certain financial transactional processes. Outsourcing these functions involves the risk that the third 
parties may not perform to our standards or legal requirements, may not produce results in a timely 
manner, may not maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary information, or may fail to perform at all. 
Failure of these third parties to meet their contractual, regulatory, confidentiality, or other obligations to us 
could have a material adverse effect on our business. 

•  Our animal health segment faces risks related to generic competition, food and animal safety 

concerns, factors affecting global agricultural markets, and other risks.  

The animal health operating segment may be impacted by, among other things, increased generic 
competition; emerging restrictions and bans on the use of antibacterials in food-producing animals; 
perceived adverse effects on human health linked to the consumption of food derived from animals that 
utilize our products; increased regulation or decreased governmental support relating to the raising, 
processing, or consumption of food-producing animals; an outbreak of infectious disease carried by 
animals; adverse weather conditions and the availability of natural resources; adverse global economic 
conditions affecting agricultural markets; and failure of the research and development, acquisition, and 
licensing efforts to generate new products. The failure to manage these risks could have a material 
adverse effect on our revenues.

•  Worsening economic conditions could adversely affect our business and operating results. 

While human pharmaceuticals have not generally been sensitive to overall economic cycles, prolonged 
economic slowdowns could lead to decreased utilization of drugs, affecting our sales volume. Declining 
tax revenues attributable to economic downturns increase the pressure on governments to reduce health 
care spending, leading to increasing government efforts to control drug prices and utilization. Additionally, 
some customers, including governments or other entities reliant upon government funding, may be 
unable to pay in a timely manner for our products. Also, if our customers, suppliers, or collaboration 
partners experience financial difficulties, we could experience slower customer collections, greater bad 
debt expense, and performance defaults by suppliers or collaboration partners.

•  Unanticipated changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional tax liabilities could increase our 

income taxes and decrease our net income. 

Changes in tax laws, including laws related to the remittance of foreign earnings or investments in foreign 
countries with favorable tax rates, and settlements of federal, state, and foreign tax audits, can affect our 
results of operations. The Obama administration has proposed changes to the manner in which the U.S. 
would tax the international income of U.S.-based companies. There have also been tax proposals under 
discussion or introduced in the U.S. Congress that could change the manner in which, and rate at which, 
income of U.S. companies would be taxed. While it is uncertain how the U.S. Congress may address U.S. 
tax policy matters in the future, reform of U.S. taxation, including taxation of international income, will 
continue to be a topic of discussion for the U.S. Congress and the Obama administration. A significant 
change to the U.S. tax system, including changes to the taxation of international income, could have a 
material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of 
Operations and Financial Condition

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

This section provides an overview of our financial results, recent product and late-stage pipeline 
developments, and legal, regulatory, and other matters affecting our company and the pharmaceutical 
industry. Earnings per share (EPS) data is presented on a diluted basis.

Financial Results

Worldwide total revenue increased 2 percent to $23.11 billion in 2013, driven by growth in several products, 
including Cialis®, Humalog®, Trajenta®, Alimta®, Forteo®, and animal health products, partially offset by the 
continued erosion of Zyprexa® sales following the loss of patent exclusivity in the U.S. and most major 
markets outside Japan. In 2013, net income increased 15 percent to $4.68 billion and EPS increased 18 
percent to $4.32, compared to 2012 net income and EPS of $4.09 billion and $3.66, respectively. The 
increases were due to higher gross margin, lower marketing, selling, and administrative expenses, and, to a 
lesser extent, a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by higher research and development expenses and 
lower other income. EPS in 2013 also benefited from a lower number of shares outstanding compared to 
2012 as a result of our share repurchase programs. 

The following highlighted items affect comparisons of our 2013 and 2012 financial results:

2013

Collaborations (Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements)

•  We recognized income of $495.4 million (pretax), or $0.29 per share, related to the transfer to Amylin 
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Amylin) of exenatide commercial rights in all markets outside the United States.

Acquired In-Process Research & Development (IPR&D) (Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements)

•  We recognized acquired IPR&D charges of $57.1 million (pretax), or $0.03 per share, resulting from our 
acquisition  of  all  development  and  commercial  rights  for  a  calcitonin  gene-related  peptide  (CGRP) 
antibody currently being studied as a potential treatment for the prevention of frequent, recurrent migraine 
headaches, following a successful Phase II proof-of-concept study. 

Asset Impairment, Restructuring, and Other Special Charges (Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements)

•  We recognized charges of $120.6 million (pretax), or $0.08 per share, primarily related to severance 
costs for actions taken to reduce our cost structure and global workforce, as well as other costs 
associated with the anticipated closure of a packaging and distribution facility in Germany.

2012 

Collaborations (Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements)

•  We recognized income of $787.8 million (pretax), or $0.43 per share, related to the early payment of 

the exenatide revenue-sharing obligation following the completion of Amylin's acquisition by Bristol-
Myers Squibb (BMS).

Asset Impairment, Restructuring, and Other Special Charges (Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements)

•  We recognized asset impairment, restructuring, and other special charges of $281.1 million (pretax), 
or $0.16 per share, consisting of an intangible asset impairment related to liprotamase, restructuring 
charges related to initiatives to reduce our cost structure and global workforce, charges associated 
with the decision to stop development of a delivery device platform, and charges related to changes 
in returns reserve estimates for the withdrawal of Xigris™.

Late-Stage Pipeline

Our long-term success depends to a great extent on our ability to continue to discover and develop innovative 
pharmaceutical products and acquire or collaborate on molecules currently in development by other 
biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies. We currently have approximately 60 potential new drugs in 
human testing or under regulatory review, and a larger number of projects in preclinical research.

The following new molecular entities (NMEs) have been submitted for regulatory review for potential use in 
the disease described. The quarter the NME initially was submitted for any indication is shown in 
parentheses:

Dulaglutide* (Q3 2013)—a long-acting analog of glucagon-like peptide 1 for the treatment of type 2 
diabetes. 

Empagliflozin (Q1 2013)—a sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor for the treatment of 
type 2 diabetes (in collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim). 

New insulin glargine product (Q2 2013)—a new insulin glargine product for the treatment of type 1 
and type 2 diabetes (in collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim). 

Ramucirumab* (Q3 2013)—an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) 
monoclonal antibody submitted for regulatory review as a single agent for the treatment of gastric 
cancer. We intend to submit an application for ramucirumab in combination with paclitaxel for the 
treatment of gastric cancer to regulatory authorities in 2014. We also intend to submit our first 
application for ramucirumab in combination with chemotherapy (docetaxel) in patients with second-
line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to regulatory authorities in 2014. In addition, we are currently 
studying ramucirumab in Phase III studies for the treatment of liver cancer and colorectal cancer.

The following NMEs are currently in Phase III clinical trial testing for potential use in the diseases described. 
The quarter in which the NME initially entered Phase III for any indication is shown in parentheses:

Baricitinib (Q4 2012)—a Janus tyrosine kinase (JAK 1 and JAK 2) inhibitor for the treatment of 
rheumatoid arthritis (in collaboration with Incyte Corporation).

Basal insulin peglispro (formerly known as novel basal insulin analog)* (Q4 2011)—a novel 
basal insulin for the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. 

Evacetrapib (Q4 2012)—a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor for the treatment of 
high-risk vascular disease.

Ixekizumab* (Q4 2011)—a neutralizing monoclonal antibody to interleukin-17A (IL-17) for the 
treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

Necitumumab* (Q4 2009)—an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody 
for the treatment of squamous NSCLC.

Solanezumab* (Q2 2009)—an anti-amyloid beta (Aß) monoclonal antibody for the treatment of mild 
Alzheimer’s disease.

Tabalumab* (Q4 2010)—an anti-B-cell activating factor (BAFF) monoclonal antibody for the 
treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus).

Tanezumab* (Q3 2008)—an anti-nerve growth factor monoclonal antibody for the treatment of 
osteoarthritis pain, chronic low back pain and cancer pain (in collaboration with Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer)). 
Tanezumab is currently subject to a partial clinical hold by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 
(FDA) (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).

*  Biologic molecule subject to the U.S. Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act

The following are late-stage pipeline updates since January 1, 2013:

Basal insulin peglispro—In January 2013, we announced plans for the 2013 and 2014 initiation of 
the remainder of the pre-planned clinical trials for the molecule. These studies will be conducted to 
support regulatory submissions and evaluate safety, efficacy, and differentiation of the molecule. 
These studies are in addition to the five ongoing IMAGINE clinical trials.

20

20

Dulaglutide—In April 2013, we announced that the Phase III AWARD-2 and AWARD-4 trials studying 
dulaglutide as an investigational once-weekly treatment for type 2 diabetes met the primary endpoints 
related to reduction in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) compared to insulin glargine, and that the 1.5 mg 
dose demonstrated statistically superior reduction in HbA1c from baseline compared to insulin 
glargine in both trials. In the third quarter of 2013, we filed for regulatory review in both the U.S. and 
Europe.

Edivoxetine—In December 2013, we announced the decision to stop development of edivoxetine as 
an add-on treatment for depression due to lack of efficacy in three acute randomized placebo-
controlled Phase III studies. The decision was not based on safety concerns.

Empagliflozin—In January 2013, we announced positive top-line results for four completed Phase III 
clinical trials studying empagliflozin for treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. In all four studies, 
the primary efficacy endpoint, defined as significant change in HbA1c from baseline compared to 
placebo, was met with empagliflozin (10 and 25 mg) taken once daily. The pivotal studies for 
empagliflozin were completed in 2012. In the first quarter of 2013, Boehringer Ingelheim filed for 
regulatory review in both the U.S. and Europe. The Boehringer Ingelheim manufacturing facility where 
empagliflozin is being produced is subject to an FDA warning letter; however, it is not clear if this will 
impact the timing of FDA action for empagliflozin. In the fourth quarter of 2013, Boehringer Ingelheim 
filed for regulatory review in Japan. 

Enzastaurin—In May 2013, we announced the decision to stop development of enzastaurin as a 
result of negative clinical trial results from the Phase III PRELUDE study, which explored the molecule 
as a monotherapy in the prevention of relapse for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. 

Ixekizumab—In January 2013, we initiated Phase III clinical trial testing for ixekizumab as a potential 
treatment for psoriatic arthritis.

Liprotamase—In December 2013, we made the decision to discontinue further development of 
liprotamase. 

Necitumumab—In August 2013, we announced that the Phase III study, SQUIRE, met its primary 
endpoint, finding that patients with stage IV metastatic squamous NSCLC experienced increased 
overall survival when administered necitumumab in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin as a 
first-line treatment, as compared to chemotherapy alone. We anticipate filing for regulatory review 
before the end of 2014. 

New insulin glargine product—In July 2013, we and Boehringer Ingelheim announced that the 
marketing authorization application for our new insulin glargine product, filed in June 2013 through 
the biosimilar pathway, was accepted for review by the European Medicines Agency. In the fourth 
quarter of 2013, we filed for regulatory review in the U.S. and Japan. 

In January 2014, Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC (Sanofi) filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court 
for the District of Delaware alleging patent infringement with respect to our insulin glargine product for 
which we are seeking approval from the FDA. Sanofi asserts infringement of two patents relating to 
pen injector devices and two patents relating to insulin glargine formulations. Under the Hatch-
Waxman Act, the initiation of the lawsuit automatically invokes a stay of FDA approval of the product 
for a period of 30 months, which may be shortened in the event of an earlier decision in our favor. We 
believe the lawsuit is without merit, and we are prepared to vigorously defend against the allegations.

Ramucirumab—Our rolling submission to the FDA for ramucirumab as a single-agent biologic 
therapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer following progression on prior chemotherapy was 
completed in the third quarter of 2013, and received Priority Review status by the FDA in October 
2013. Our regulatory submission in Europe for the same indication was also completed in the third 
quarter of 2013. In September 2013, we announced that the RAINBOW trial, a global Phase III study 
of ramucirumab in combination with paclitaxel in patients with advanced gastric cancer, met its 
primary endpoint of improved overall survival and a secondary endpoint of improved progression-free 
survival. We intend to submit an application for this indication to regulatory authorities in 2014. In 
September 2013, we also announced that a separate global Phase III study of ramucirumab in 
women with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer, ROSE, did not meet its primary endpoint of 

2121

progression-free survival. We do not plan to submit an application to regulatory authorities for 
ramucirumab in the first-line treatment of locally recurrent or metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer 
based on the results from the ROSE study. In February 2014, we announced that the REVEL trial, a 
global Phase III study of ramucirumab in combination with chemotherapy (docetaxel) in patients with 
second-line NSCLC, met its primary endpoint of improved overall survival and a secondary endpoint 
of improved progression-free survival. We intend to submit the first application for this indication to 
regulatory authorities in 2014. 

Tabalumab—In February 2013, we announced our decision to discontinue the Phase III rheumatoid 
arthritis program for tabalumab due to lack of efficacy. The decision was not based on safety 
concerns. The tabalumab Phase III program for lupus is continuing as planned.

Tanezumab—In October 2013, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Pfizer to jointly 
develop and globally commercialize tanezumab for the potential treatment of osteoarthritis pain, 
chronic low back pain, and cancer pain. Tanezumab is currently in Phase III clinical development and 
is subject to a partial clinical hold by the FDA pending submission of nonclinical data to the FDA. 
Pfizer anticipates submitting that data in 2014. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for 
additional details.

There are many difficulties and uncertainties inherent in pharmaceutical research and development (R&D) 
and the introduction of new products. A high rate of failure is inherent in new drug discovery and development. 
The process to bring a drug from the discovery phase to regulatory approval can take 12 to 15 years or longer 
and cost more than $1 billion. Failure can occur at any point in the process, including late in the process after 
substantial investment. As a result, most research programs will not generate financial returns. New product 
candidates that appear promising in development may fail to reach the market or may have only limited 
commercial success. Delays and uncertainties in the regulatory approval processes in the U.S. and other 
countries can result in delays in product launches and lost market opportunities. Consequently, it is very 
difficult to predict which products will ultimately be approved and the sales growth of those products.

We manage R&D spending across our portfolio of molecules, and a delay in, or termination of, any one 
project will not necessarily cause a significant change in our total R&D spending. Due to the risks and 
uncertainties involved in the R&D process, we cannot reliably estimate the nature, timing, completion dates, 
and costs of the efforts necessary to complete the development of our R&D projects, nor can we reliably 
estimate the future potential revenue that will be generated from a successful R&D project. Each project 
represents only a portion of the overall pipeline, and none is individually material to our consolidated R&D 
expense. While we do accumulate certain R&D costs on a project level for internal reporting purposes, we 
must make significant cost estimations and allocations, some of which rely on data that are neither 
reproducible nor validated through accepted control mechanisms. Therefore, we do not have sufficiently 
reliable data to report on total R&D costs by project, by preclinical versus clinical spend, or by therapeutic 
category.

Legal, Regulatory, and Other Matters

We depend on patents or other forms of intellectual-property protection for most of our revenues, cash flows, 
and earnings. Cymbalta® lost patent exclusivity in the U.S. in December 2013, resulting in the immediate 
entry of several generic competitors. We also expect the loss of U.S. patent protection for Evista® in March 
2014 to result in immediate generic competition. We will lose our data package protection for Cymbalta in 
major European countries in 2014; however, we do not anticipate the entry of generic competition in most of 
these countries until 2015. The entry of generic competition in each of these markets is expected to cause a 
rapid and severe decline in revenue from the affected products, having a material adverse effect on our 
consolidated results of operations and cash flows. 

The U.S. compound patent for Humalog expired in May 2013. The loss of compound patent protection for 
Humalog has not resulted in a rapid and severe decline in revenue. To date, no biosimilar version of Humalog 
has been approved in the U.S. or Europe; however, we are aware that other manufacturers have efforts 
underway to develop biosimilar forms of Humalog, and it is difficult to predict the likelihood, timing, and impact 
of biosimilars entering the market. 

The continuing prominence of U.S. budget deficits as both a policy and political issue increases the risk that 
taxes, fees, rebates, or other federal measures that would further reduce pharmaceutical companies’ revenue

or increase expenses may be enacted. Certain federal and state health care proposals, including state price 
controls, continue to be debated, and could place downward pressure on pharmaceutical industry sales or 
prices. These federal and state proposals, or state price pressures, could have a material adverse effect on 
our consolidated results of operations.

International operations also are generally subject to extensive price and market regulations. Proposals for 
cost-containment measures are pending in a number of countries, including proposals that would directly or 
indirectly impose additional price controls, limit access to or reimbursement for our products, or reduce the 
value of our intellectual-property protection. Such proposals are expected to increase in both frequency and 
impact, given the pressures on national and regional health care budgets as a result of continued austerity 
measures being pursued in a number of countries; the desire to manage health expenses carefully even as 
economies recover; and the effort in some countries to expand access to health care coverage while seeking 
savings from the biopharmaceutical sector.

The Obama administration has proposed changes to the manner in which the U.S. would tax the international 
income of U.S.-based companies. There also have been tax proposals under discussion or introduced in the 
U.S. Congress that could change the manner in which, and the rate at which, income of U.S. companies 
would be taxed. While it is uncertain how the U.S. Congress may address U.S. tax policy matters in the 
future, reform of U.S. taxation, including taxation of international income, will continue to be a topic of 
discussion for Congress and the Obama administration. A significant change to the U.S. tax system, including 
changes to the taxation of international income, could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated 
results of operations. In addition, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development recently 
launched an initiative to analyze and potentially influence international tax policy in the major countries in 
which we operate. While the outcomes of this initiative are uncertain, significant changes to key elements of 
the global international tax framework could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of 
operations.

Operating Results—2013 

Revenue

Our worldwide revenue for 2013 increased 2 percent, to $23.11 billion, compared with 2012 as an increase of 
5 percent due to higher prices was partially offset by a decrease of 2 percent due to the unfavorable impact of 
foreign exchange rates and a 1 percent decrease due to lower volume. Total revenue in the U.S. increased 5 
percent, to $12.89 billion, due to higher prices, partially offset by volume declines for Cymbalta and Zyprexa 
due to the loss of patent exclusivity. Revenue outside the U.S. decreased 1 percent, to $10.22 billion, due 
primarily to the unfavorable impact of the continued weakness of the Japanese yen and, to a lesser extent, 
lower prices, partially offset by increased volume.

Sales of Forteo, an injectable treatment for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men at high risk for 
fracture and for glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in men and postmenopausal women, increased 
5 percent in the U.S., driven primarily by higher prices. Sales outside the U.S. increased 11 percent, due to 
increased volume, primarily in Japan, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

Sales of Zyprexa, a treatment for schizophrenia, acute mixed or manic episodes associated with bipolar I 
disorder, and bipolar maintenance, decreased 66 percent in the U.S. due to the continued erosion following 
patent expiration in 2011. Sales outside the U.S. decreased 20 percent, driven by the unfavorable effect of 
foreign exchange rates, lower volume in markets outside of Japan, and lower prices. Zyprexa sales in Japan 
were approximately $510 million in 2013, compared to approximately $585 million in 2012, and were 
negatively impacted by the continued weakness of the Japanese yen.

Sales of Evista, a product for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and for 
reduction of risk of invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and postmenopausal 
women at high risk for invasive breast cancer, increased 10 percent in the U.S., driven by higher prices, 
partially offset by decreased demand. Sales outside the U.S. decreased 10 percent, driven by the unfavorable 
impact of foreign exchange rates and lower prices, partially offset by increased volume in Japan.

We will lose effective patent exclusivity for Evista in the U.S. on March 2, 2014. We expect generic 
competition immediately following the loss of exclusivity. While it is difficult to predict the precise impact on 
Evista sales, we expect the introduction of generics to result in a rapid and severe decline in our U.S. Evista 
sales, which will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and cash flows.

Sales of Strattera, a treatment for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, increased 16 percent in the U.S., 
driven primarily by higher prices. Sales outside the U.S. increased 11 percent, driven primarily by increased 
volume in Japan, partially offset by lower prices and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

Sales of Effient, a product for the reduction of thrombotic cardiovascular events (including stent thrombosis) in 
patients with acute coronary syndrome who are managed with an artery-opening procedure known as 
percutaneous coronary intervention, including patients undergoing angioplasty, atherectomy, or stent 
placement, increased 11 percent in the U.S., driven primarily by higher prices. Sales outside the U.S. 
increased 12 percent, driven primarily by increased volume. 
Animal health product sales in the U.S. increased 6 percent driven primarily by increased volume for Trifexis® 
and, to a lesser extent, higher prices. Sales outside the U.S. increased 6 percent, driven by increased volume 
and, to a lesser extent, higher prices, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

Gross Margin, Costs, and Expenses

Gross margin as a percent of total revenue remained at 78.8 percent in 2013 as higher prices were offset by 
the adverse impact of foreign exchange rates on international inventories sold, which significantly decreased 
the cost of sales in 2012.

Marketing, selling, and administrative expenses decreased 5 percent to $7.13 billion in 2013, driven primarily 
by lower selling and marketing expenses resulting from ongoing cost-containment efforts, including the 
previously announced reduction in U.S. sales and marketing activities in anticipation of the loss of patent 
exclusivity for Cymbalta and Evista, as well as the impact of foreign exchange rates.

Research and development expenses increased 5 percent to $5.53 billion in 2013, due to higher research 
and clinical development expenses, including $97.2 million of milestone payments made to Boehringer 
Ingelheim following regulatory submissions for empagliflozin.

We recognized an acquired IPR&D charge of $57.1 million in 2013 resulting from our acquisition of a CGRP 
antibody currently being studied as a potential treatment for the prevention of frequent, recurrent migraine 
headaches, following a successful Phase II proof-of-concept study. There were no acquired IPR&D charges in 
2012. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

We recognized asset impairment, restructuring, and other special charges of $120.6 million in 2013. These 
charges included $30.0 million of asset impairments primarily associated with the anticipated closure of a 
packaging and distribution facility in Germany, and $90.6 million of severance costs to reduce our cost 
structure and global workforce. In 2012, we recognized asset impairment, restructuring, and other special 
charges of $281.1 million. These charges included $122.6 million related to an intangible asset impairment for 

2525

liprotamase, $74.5 million related to restructuring to reduce our cost structure and global workforce, $64.0 
million related to the asset impairment of a delivery device platform, and $20.0 million related to the 
withdrawal of Xigris. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Other—net, (income) expense was income of $518.9 million in 2013, compared with income of $674.0 million 
in 2012. The decrease was driven primarily by lower income related to the termination of the exenatide 
collaboration with Amylin of $495.4 million in 2013 compared with $787.8 million in 2012, partially offset by 
milestone payments received from Boehringer Ingelheim for regulatory submissions in the U.S., Europe, and 
Japan. See Notes 4 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. 

Our effective tax rate was 20.5 percent in 2013, compared with 24.4 percent in 2012. The 2012 effective tax 
rate reflected the expiration of the R&D tax credit at the end of 2011 and the tax impact of the payment 
received from Amylin, partially offset by the tax benefit related to the intangible asset impairment for 
liprotamase. The decrease in the 2013 effective tax rate reflects the reinstatement of the R&D tax credit in the 
U.S. effective January 1, 2013 as well as the one-time impact of the reinstatement of the R&D tax credit for 
2012 that was recorded in the first quarter of 2013. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for 
additional information.

Operating Results—2012

Financial Results

Worldwide total revenue decreased 7 percent to $22.60 billion in 2012, driven by steep sales declines for 
Zyprexa due to the loss of patent exclusivity in most major markets, partially offset by growth in certain other 
products. Net income and EPS decreased 6 percent to $4.09 billion and $3.66, respectively, in 2012 
compared with net income of $4.35 billion and EPS of $3.90 in 2011. The decreases in net income and EPS 
were due to the loss of patent exclusivity for Zyprexa, partially offset by growth in certain other products and 
higher other income from the early payment of the exenatide revenue-sharing obligation from Amylin.  

The 2012 highlighted items are summarized in the "Executive Overview" section. The 2011 highlighted items 
are summarized as follows:

Collaborations (Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements)

•  We incurred acquired IPR&D charges associated with the diabetes collaboration with Boehringer 

Ingelheim of $388.0 million (pretax), or $0.23 per share.

Asset Impairment, Restructuring, and Other Special Charges (Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements)

•  We recognized charges of $316.4 million (pretax), or $0.24 per share, primarily related to severance 

costs from strategic actions to reduce our cost structure and global workforce.

•  We incurred a charge of $85.0 million (pretax), or $0.05 per share, primarily for returned product and 

contractual commitments related to the withdrawal of Xigris.

Revenue

Our worldwide revenue for 2012 decreased 7 percent, to $22.60 billion, driven by the loss of patent exclusivity 
for Zyprexa in most major markets, partially offset by growth in Cymbalta, Forteo, Effient, Alimta, and our 
animal health portfolio. Worldwide sales volume decreased 7 percent and the unfavorable impact of foreign 
exchange rates contributed 2 percent of revenue decline, partially offset by an increase of 2 percent due to 
higher prices. The decrease in volume was driven by the loss of patent exclusivity for Zyprexa in most major 
markets, partially offset by volume gains for certain other products. Total revenue in the U.S. decreased 5 
percent, to $12.31 billion, due to the loss of patent exclusivity for Zyprexa, partially offset by higher prices and 
increased demand for certain other products. Revenue outside the U.S. decreased 9 percent, to 
$10.29 billion, driven by the loss of patent exclusivity for Zyprexa in markets outside of Japan, the unfavorable 
effect of foreign exchange rates, and lower prices, partially offset by increased demand for certain other 
products.

1  U.S. revenue includes revenue in Puerto Rico.
2  Collaboration and other revenue consists primarily of royalties for Erbitux and revenue associated with exenatide in the United States.

Sales of Cymbalta increased 23 percent in the U.S., due to higher prices and, to a lesser extent, increased 
demand. Sales outside the U.S. increased 9 percent, driven by increased demand, partially offset by the 
unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. 

Sales of Alimta increased 13 percent in the U.S., driven by increased demand and higher prices. Sales 
outside the U.S. remained flat, as increased demand was offset by lower prices in Japan and the unfavorable 
impact of foreign exchange rates.

Sales of Humalog decreased 2 percent in the U.S., due to increased government and commercial rebates as 
well as the product's removal from a large formulary in 2012. Sales outside the U.S. increased 6 percent, due 
to increased demand, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

Sales of Cialis increased 11 percent in the U.S., driven by increased demand and higher prices. Sales outside 
the U.S. decreased 2 percent, driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by 
increased demand and higher prices.

Sales of Zyprexa decreased 83 percent in the United States. Sales outside the U.S. decreased 45 percent. 
The decreases were due to the loss of patent exclusivity in the U.S. and most major international markets 
outside of Japan, partially offset by growth in Japan. Zyprexa sales in Japan were approximately $585 million 
in 2012, compared to approximately $540 million in 2011.

Sales of Humulin increased 1 percent in the U.S., driven by higher prices, largely offset by decreased 
demand. U.S. sales of Humulin were negatively affected by the product's removal from a large formulary in 
2012, as well as the continued decline in the market for human insulin and the termination of the Humulin 
ReliOn agreement with Walmart. Sales outside the U.S. decreased 2 percent, driven by the unfavorable 
impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by increased volume.

Sales of Forteo increased 8 percent in the U.S., driven by higher prices, partially offset by decreased volume. 
Sales outside the U.S. increased 33 percent, primarily due to the increased demand in Japan.

Sales of Evista decreased 1 percent in the U.S., driven by decreased demand, largely offset by higher prices. 
Sales outside the U.S. decreased 14 percent, driven by decreased volume and, to a lesser extent, the 
unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

Sales of Strattera decreased 2 percent in the U.S., due to decreased demand, partially offset by higher prices. 
Sales outside the U.S. increased 4 percent, driven by increased demand in Japan, partially offset by lower 
prices and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

Sales of Effient increased 52 percent in the U.S., driven by increased demand and, to a lesser extent, higher 
prices. Sales outside the U.S. increased 47 percent, due to increased demand, partially offset by the 
unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. 

Animal health product sales in the U.S. increased 30 percent, primarily due to increased demand for 
companion animal products. Sales outside the U.S. increased 12 percent, driven primarily by the impact of 
the acquisition of certain Janssen animal health assets in Europe (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial 
statements), and the growth of other products, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange 
rates. 

Gross Margin, Costs, and Expenses

Gross margin as a percent of total revenue decreased by 0.3 percentage points in 2012 to 78.8 percent. This 
decrease was primarily due to lower sales of Zyprexa and, to a lesser extent, higher miscellaneous 
manufacturing costs, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates on international inventories sold, 
which decreased cost of sales in 2012 and increased cost of sales in 2011.

Marketing, selling, and administrative expenses decreased 5 percent in 2012 to $7.51 billion, driven by lower 
marketing expense resulting from our cost-containment efforts. Research and development expenses 
increased 5 percent to $5.28 billion, due to higher late-stage clinical trial costs.

No acquired IPR&D charges were incurred in 2012, compared with $388.0 million in 2011, all of which was 
associated with the diabetes collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim. We recognized asset impairment, 
restructuring, and other special charges of $281.1 million in 2012. These charges comprised $122.6 million 
related to an intangible asset impairment for liprotamase, $74.5 million related to restructuring to reduce our 
cost structure and global workforce, $64.0 million related to the asset impairment of a delivery device 
platform, and $20.0 million related to the withdrawal of Xigris. In 2011, we recognized asset impairment, 
restructuring, and other special charges of $401.4 million, of which $316.4 million primarily related to 
severance costs from strategic actions and $85.0 million related to the withdrawal of Xigris. See Notes 4 and 
5 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Other—net, (income) expense was income of $674.0 million in 2012, compared with expense of $179.0 
million in 2011. The increase was driven by income of $787.8 million recognized from the early payment of the 
exenatide revenue-sharing obligation by Amylin. See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for 
additional information. 

Our effective tax rate was 24.4 percent in 2012, compared with 18.7 percent in 2011. The increase in 2012 
reflects the tax impact of the payment received from Amylin and the expiration of the research and 
development tax credit at the end of 2011, partially offset by the tax benefit related to the intangible asset 
impairment for liprotamase. The effective tax rate for 2011 was lower due to a tax benefit on the IPR&D 
charge associated with the diabetes collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim, as well as a benefit from the 
resolution in 2011 of the IRS audits of tax years 2005-2007, along with certain matters related to 2008-2009. 
See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents decreased to $3.83 billion compared with $4.02 billion 
at December 31, 2012, as cash flow from operations of $5.74 billion was more than offset by dividends paid of 
$2.12 billion, share repurchases of $1.70 billion, net purchases of investments of $1.02 billion, and purchases 
of property and equipment of $1.01 billion. In addition to our cash and cash equivalents, we held total 
investments of $9.19 billion and $7.98 billion as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. 
See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for additional details.

As of December 31, 2013, total debt was $5.21 billion, a decrease of $318.4 million compared with 
$5.53 billion at December 31, 2012. The decrease is due primarily to the decrease in fair value of our hedged 
debt. We intend to refinance $1.00 billion of debt that is maturing in March 2014. A portion of the interest rate 
risk associated with the anticipated refinancing has been hedged through the use of forward-starting interest 
rate swaps. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for additional details. We currently have 
$1.36 billion of unused committed bank credit facilities, $1.20 billion of which backs our commercial paper 
program.  

Capital expenditures of $1.01 billion during 2013 were $106.7 million more than in 2012. We expect 2014 
capital expenditures to be approximately $1.3 billion as we invest in the long-term growth of our diabetes-care 
product portfolio and additional biotechnology capacity while continuing investments to improve the quality, 
productivity, and capability of our manufacturing, research, and development facilities.

For the 129th consecutive year, we distributed dividend payments to our shareholders. Dividends of $1.96 per 
share were paid in both 2013 and 2012. In the fourth quarter of 2013, effective for the dividend to be paid in 
the first quarter of 2014, the quarterly dividend was maintained at $0.49 per share, resulting in an indicated 
annual rate for 2014 of $1.96 per share.

During 2013, we repurchased the remaining $1.10 billion of shares associated with our $1.50 billion share 
repurchase program announced in 2012. In October 2013, we announced a new $5.00 billion share 
repurchase program which will be completed over time. We purchased $500.0 million of shares under the 
new repurchase program in 2013.

At December 31, 2013, we had an aggregate of $11.61 billion of cash and investments at our foreign 
subsidiaries. A significant portion of this amount would be subject to tax payments if such cash and 
investments were repatriated to the United States. We record U.S. deferred tax liabilities for certain 
unremitted earnings, but when foreign earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S., no 
accrual for U.S. income taxes is provided. We believe cash provided by operating activities in the U.S. and 
planned repatriations of foreign earnings for which tax has been provided should be sufficient to fund our 
domestic operating needs, dividends paid to shareholders, share repurchases, and capital expenditures. 
Various risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk 
Factors" may affect our operating results and cash generated from operations. 

In December 2013, we lost U.S. patent protection for Cymbalta. In 2014, we will lose U.S. patent protection 
for Evista and data package protection for Cymbalta in major European countries. See "Executive Overview—
Legal, Regulatory, and Other Matters" for additional information. 

Both domestically and abroad, we continue to monitor the potential impacts of the economic environment; the 
creditworthiness of our wholesalers and other customers, including foreign government-backed agencies and 
suppliers; the uncertain impact of recent health care legislation; and various international government funding 
levels. 

In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and currency 
values. These fluctuations can vary the costs of financing, investing, and operating. We address a portion of 
these risks through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial 
instruments. The objective of controlling these risks is to limit the impact on earnings of fluctuations in interest 
and currency exchange rates. All derivative activities are for purposes other than trading.

Our primary interest rate risk exposure results from changes in short-term U.S. dollar interest rates. In an 
effort to manage interest rate exposures, we strive to achieve an acceptable balance between fixed and 
floating rate debt positions and may enter into interest rate derivatives to help maintain that balance. Based 
on our overall interest rate exposure at December 31, 2013 and 2012, including derivatives and other interest 
rate risk-sensitive instruments, a hypothetical 10 percent change in interest rates applied to the fair value of 
the instruments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, would not have a material impact on 
earnings, cash flows, or fair values of interest rate risk-sensitive instruments over a one-year period.

Our foreign currency risk exposure results from fluctuating currency exchange rates, primarily the U.S. dollar 
against the euro and the Japanese yen, and the British pound against the euro. We face transactional 
currency exposures that arise when we enter into transactions, generally on an intercompany basis, 
denominated in currencies other than the local currency. We also face currency exposure that arises from 

2929

translating the results of our global operations to the U.S. dollar at exchange rates that have fluctuated from 
the beginning of the period. We may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the effect of 
fluctuating currency exchange rates (principally the euro, the British pound, and the Japanese yen). Our 
policy outlines the minimum and maximum hedge coverage of such exposures. Gains and losses on these 
derivative positions offset, in part, the impact of currency fluctuations on the existing assets, liabilities, 
commitments, and anticipated revenues. Considering our derivative financial instruments outstanding at 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, a hypothetical 10 percent change in exchange rates (primarily against the U.S. 
dollar) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, would not have a material impact on earnings, cash 
flows, or fair values of foreign currency rate risk-sensitive instruments over a one-year period. These 
calculations do not reflect the impact of the exchange gains or losses on the underlying positions that would 
be offset, in part, by the results of the derivative instruments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect or that are reasonably likely to 
have a material future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, 
results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. We acquire and collaborate on 
potential products still in development and enter into research and development arrangements with third 
parties that often require milestone and royalty payments to the third party contingent upon the occurrence of 
certain future events linked to the success of the asset in development. Milestone payments may be required 
contingent upon the successful achievement of an important point in the development life cycle of the 
pharmaceutical product (e.g., approval for marketing by the appropriate regulatory agency or upon the 
achievement of certain sales levels). If required by the arrangement, we may make royalty payments based 
upon a percentage of the sales of the pharmaceutical product in the event that regulatory approval for 
marketing is obtained. Because of the contingent nature of these payments, they are not included in the table 
of contractual obligations below.

Individually, these arrangements are not material in any one annual reporting period. However, if milestones 
for multiple products covered by these arrangements would happen to be reached in the same reporting 
period, the aggregate charge to expense could be material to the results of operations in that period. See 
"Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 4, Collaborations," for additional details. These 
arrangements often give us the discretion to unilaterally terminate development of the product, which would 
allow us to avoid making the contingent payments; however, we are unlikely to cease development if the 
compound successfully achieves milestone objectives. We also note that, from a business perspective, we 
view these payments as positive because they signify that the product is successfully moving through 
development and is now generating or is more likely to generate cash flows from sales of products.

1  Our long-term debt obligations include both our expected principal and interest obligations and our interest rate swaps. We used the 
interest rate forward curve at December 31, 2013, to compute the amount of the contractual obligation for interest on the variable rate 
debt instruments and swaps.

2  We have included the following:

• 

• 

Purchase obligations consist primarily of all open purchase orders as of December 31, 2013. Some of these purchase 
orders may be cancelable; however, for purposes of this disclosure, we have not distinguished between cancelable and 
noncancelable purchase obligations.

Contractual payment obligations with each of our significant vendors, which are noncancelable and are not contingent.

3  We have included long-term liabilities consisting primarily of our nonqualified supplemental pension funding requirements and deferred 
compensation liabilities. We excluded long-term income taxes payable of $1.08 billion, because we cannot reasonably estimate the 
timing of future cash outflows associated with those liabilities.

4  This category consists of various miscellaneous items expected to be paid in the next year, none of which are individually material. We 

excluded unfunded commitments of $142.2 million, because we cannot reasonably estimate the timing of future cash outflows 
associated with those commitments.

The contractual obligations table is current as of December 31, 2013. We expect the amount of these 
obligations to change materially over time as new contracts are initiated and existing contracts are completed, 
terminated, or modified.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

In preparing our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United States (GAAP), we must often make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 
assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. Some of those judgments can be subjective 
and complex, and consequently actual results could differ from those estimates. For any given individual 
estimate or assumption we make, it is possible that other people applying reasonable judgment to the same 
facts and circumstances could develop different estimates. We believe that, given current facts and 
circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any such other reasonable judgment would cause a material 
adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or liquidity for the periods 
presented in this report. Our most critical accounting estimates have been discussed with our audit committee 
and are described below.

Revenue Recognition and Sales Return, Rebate, and Discount Accruals

We recognize revenue from sales of products at the time title of goods passes to the buyer and the buyer 
assumes the risks and rewards of ownership. Provisions for returns, rebates, and discounts are established in 
the same period the related sales are recorded.

We regularly review the supply levels of our significant products sold to major wholesalers in the U.S. and in 
major markets outside the U.S., primarily by reviewing periodic inventory reports supplied by our major 

3131

 
  
wholesalers and available prescription volume information for our products, or alternative approaches. We 
attempt to maintain U.S. wholesaler inventory levels at an average of approximately one month or less on a 
consistent basis across our product portfolio. Causes of unusual wholesaler buying patterns include actual or 
anticipated product-supply issues, weather patterns, anticipated changes in the transportation network, 
redundant holiday stocking, and changes in wholesaler business operations. In the U.S., the current structure 
of our arrangements does not provide an incentive for speculative wholesaler buying and provides us with 
data on inventory levels at our wholesalers. When we believe wholesaler purchasing patterns have caused an 
unusual increase or decrease in the sales of a major product compared with underlying demand, we disclose 
this in our product sales discussion if we believe the amount is material to the product sales trend; however, 
we are not always able to accurately quantify the amount of stocking or destocking. Wholesaler stocking and 
destocking activity historically has not caused any material changes in the rate of actual product returns.

When sales occur, we estimate a reserve for future product returns related to those sales. This estimate is 
based on several factors, including: historical return rates, expiration date by product (generally, 24 to 
36 months after the initial sale of a product to our customer), and estimated levels of inventory in the 
wholesale and retail channels, among others, as well as any other specifically-identified anticipated returns 
due to known factors such as the loss of patent exclusivity, product recalls and discontinuances, or a 
changing competitive environment. We maintain a returns policy that allows U.S. pharmaceutical customers 
to return product within a specified period prior to and subsequent to the product's expiration date. Following 
the loss of exclusivity for a patent-dependent product, we expect to experience an elevated level of product 
returns as product inventory remaining in the wholesale and retail channels expires. Additional adjustments to 
the returns reserve may be required in the future based on revised estimates to our assumptions, which 
would have an impact on our consolidated results of operations. We record the return amounts as a deduction 
to arrive at our net product sales. Once the product is returned, it is destroyed. Actual product returns have 
been less than 1 percent of our net sales over the past three years and have not fluctuated significantly as a 
percentage of sales. However, we expect the ratio of actual product returns as a percentage of net sales to 
increase in future periods as we begin to experience elevated return levels for both Zyprexa and Cymbalta 
following the recent losses of patent exclusivity for these products in several major markets.

We establish sales rebate and discount accruals in the same period as the related sales. The rebate and 
discount amounts are recorded as a deduction to arrive at our net product sales. Sales rebates and discounts 
that require the use of judgment in the establishment of the accrual include Medicaid, managed care, 
Medicare, chargebacks, long-term care, hospital, patient assistance programs, and various other programs. 
We base these accruals primarily upon our historical rebate and discount payments made to our customer 
segment groups and the provisions of current rebate and discount contracts.

The largest of our sales rebate and discount amounts are rebates associated with sales covered by Medicaid. 
In determining the appropriate accrual amount, we consider our historical Medicaid rebate payments by 
product as a percentage of our historical sales as well as any significant changes in sales trends (e.g., patent 
expiries), an evaluation of the current Medicaid rebate laws and interpretations, the percentage of our 
products that are sold to Medicaid recipients, and our product pricing and current rebate and discount 
contracts. Although we accrue a liability for Medicaid rebates at the time we record the sale (when the product 
is shipped), the Medicaid rebate related to that sale is typically paid up to six months later. Because of this 
time lag, in any particular period our rebate adjustments may incorporate revisions of accruals for several 
periods.

Most of our rebates outside the U.S. are contractual or legislatively mandated and are estimated and 
recognized in the same period as the related sales. In some large European countries, government rebates 
are based on the anticipated budget for pharmaceutical payments in the country. A best estimate of these 
rebates, updated as governmental authorities revise budgeted deficits, is recognized in the same period as 
the related sale. If our estimates are not reflective of the actual pharmaceutical costs incurred by the 
government, we adjust our rebate reserves.

We believe that our accruals for sales returns, rebates, and discounts are reasonable and appropriate based 
on current facts and circumstances. Our global rebate and discount liabilities are included in sales rebates 
and discounts on our consolidated balance sheet. Our global sales return liability is included in other current 
liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. A 5 percent change in our global 

32

32

sales return, rebate, and discount liability at December 31, 2013 would lead to an approximate $138 million 
effect on our income before income taxes. 

The portion of our global sales return, rebate, and discount liability resulting from sales of our products in the 
U.S. was 88 percent and 83 percent as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The following represents a roll-forward of our most significant U.S. sales return, rebate, and discount liability 
balances, including Medicaid (in millions):

Adjustments of the estimates for these returns, rebates, and discounts to actual results were less than 1.0 percent of net sales for each 
of the years presented.

The increase in our most significant U.S. sales return, rebate, and discount liability balances as of December 31, 2013, as compared to 
December 31, 2012, is primarily due to an increase in our returns reserve for sales of Cymbalta, which lost U.S. patent exclusivity in 
December 2013. 

Product Litigation Liabilities and Other Contingencies

Product litigation liabilities and other contingencies are, by their nature, uncertain and are based upon 
complex judgments and probabilities. The factors we consider in developing our product litigation liability 
reserves and other contingent liability amounts include the merits and jurisdiction of the litigation, the nature 
and the number of other similar current and past litigation cases, the nature of the product and the current 
assessment of the science subject to the litigation, and the likelihood of settlement and current state of 
settlement discussions, if any. In addition, we accrue for certain product liability claims incurred, but not filed, 
to the extent we can formulate a reasonable estimate of their costs. We estimate these expenses based 
primarily on historical claims experience and data regarding product usage. We accrue legal defense costs 
expected to be incurred in connection with significant product liability contingencies when both probable and 
reasonably estimable.

We also consider the insurance coverage we have to diminish the exposure for periods covered by insurance. 
In assessing our insurance coverage, we consider the policy coverage limits and exclusions, the potential for 
denial of coverage by the insurance company, the financial condition of the insurers, and the possibility of and 
length of time for collection. Due to a very restrictive market for product liability insurance, we are self-insured 
for product liability losses for all our currently marketed products. 

The litigation accruals and environmental liabilities and the related estimated insurance recoverables have 
been reflected on a gross basis as liabilities and assets, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets.

Pension and Retiree Medical Plan Assumptions

Pension benefit costs include assumptions for the discount rate, retirement age, and expected return on plan 
assets. Retiree medical plan costs include assumptions for the discount rate, retirement age, expected return 
on plan assets, and health-care-cost trend rates. These assumptions have a significant effect on the amounts 
reported. In addition to the analysis below, see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for additional 
information regarding our retirement benefits.

Annually, we evaluate the discount rate and the expected return on plan assets in our defined benefit pension 
and retiree health benefit plans. We use an actuarially determined, plan-specific yield curve of high quality, 
fixed income debt instruments to determine the discount rates. In evaluating the expected rate of return, we 
consider many factors, with a primary analysis of current and projected market conditions, asset returns and 
asset allocations (approximately 80 percent of which are growth investments); and the views of leading 
financial advisers and economists. We may also review our historical assumptions compared with actual 
results, as well as the discount rates, expected return on plan assets, and health-care-cost trend rates of 
other companies, where applicable. In evaluating our expected retirement age assumption, we consider the 
retirement ages of our past employees eligible for pension and medical benefits together with our 
expectations of future retirement ages.

3333

If the health-care-cost trend rates were to increase by one percentage point, the aggregate of the service cost 
and interest cost components of the 2013 annual expense would increase by $9.4 million. A one-percentage-
point decrease would decrease the aggregate of the 2013 service cost and interest cost by $7.6 million. If the 
2013 discount rate for the U.S. defined benefit pension and retiree health benefit plans (U.S. plans) were to 
change by a quarter percentage point, income before income taxes would change by $40.6 million. If the 
2013 expected return on plan assets for U.S. plans were to change by a quarter percentage point, income 
before income taxes would change by $20.1 million. If our assumption regarding the 2013 expected age of 
future retirees for U.S. plans were adjusted by one year, our income before income taxes would be affected 
by $57.6 million. The U.S. plans, including Puerto Rico, represent approximately 80 percent of both the total 
projected benefit obligation and total plan assets at December 31, 2013.

Impairment of Indefinite-Lived and Long-Lived Assets
We review the carrying value of long-lived assets (both intangible and tangible) for potential impairment on a 
periodic basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may 
not be recoverable. We determine impairment by comparing the projected undiscounted cash flows to be 
generated by the asset to its carrying value. If an impairment is identified, a loss is recorded equal to the 
excess of the asset’s net book value over its fair value, and the cost basis is adjusted.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually and when certain 
impairment indicators are present. When required, a comparison of fair value to the carrying amount of assets 
is performed to determine the amount of any impairment.

Several methods may be used to determine the estimated fair value of the IPR&D acquired in a business 
combination, all of which require multiple assumptions. We utilize the “income method,” which applies a 
probability weighting that considers the risk of development and commercialization to the estimated future net 
cash flows that are derived from projected sales revenues and estimated costs. These projections are based 
on factors such as relevant market size, patent protection, historical pricing of similar products, and expected 
industry trends. The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted to the present value using an 
appropriate discount rate. This analysis is performed for each project independently.

For IPR&D assets, the risk of failure has been factored into the fair value measure and there can be no 
certainty that these assets ultimately will yield a successful product, as discussed previously in the “Late-
Stage Pipeline” section. The nature of the pharmaceutical business is high-risk and requires that we invest in 
a large number of projects to build a successful portfolio of approved products. As such, it is likely that some 
IPR&D assets will become impaired in the future.

Estimates of future cash flows, based on what we believe to be reasonable and supportable assumptions and 
projections, require management’s judgment. Actual results could vary from these estimates.

Income Taxes

We prepare and file tax returns based on our interpretation of tax laws and regulations and record estimates 
based on these judgments and interpretations. In the normal course of business, our tax returns are subject to 
examination by various taxing authorities, which may result in future tax, interest, and penalty assessments by 
these authorities. Inherent uncertainties exist in estimates of many tax positions due to changes in tax law 
resulting from legislation, regulation, and/or as concluded through the various jurisdictions’ tax court systems. 
We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax 
position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the 
position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on 
the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The 
amount of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted for changes in facts and circumstances. For example, 
adjustments could result from significant amendments to existing tax law, the issuance of regulations or 
interpretations by the taxing authorities, new information obtained during a tax examination, or resolution of 
an examination. We believe our estimates for uncertain tax positions are appropriate and sufficient to pay 
assessments that may result from examinations of our tax returns. We recognize both accrued interest and 
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

We have recorded valuation allowances against certain of our deferred tax assets, primarily those that have 
been generated from net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards in certain taxing jurisdictions. In 

34

34

evaluating whether we would more likely than not recover these deferred tax assets, we have not assumed 
any future taxable income or tax planning strategies in the jurisdictions associated with these carryforwards 
where history does not support such an assumption. Implementation of tax planning strategies to recover 
these deferred tax assets or future income generation in these jurisdictions could lead to the reversal of these 
valuation allowances and a reduction of income tax expense.

As of December 31, 2013, a 5 percent change in the amount of the uncertain tax positions and the valuation 
allowance would result in a change in net income of $26.2 million and $32.4 million, respectively.

LEGAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS 

Information relating to certain legal proceedings can be found in Note 16 to the consolidated financial 
statements and is incorporated here by reference.

FINANCIAL EXPECTATIONS FOR 2014 

For the full year of 2014, we expect EPS to be in the range of $2.77 to $2.85. EPS expectations for 2014 
reflect completed share repurchases in 2013 and potential share repurchases in 2014. We anticipate that total 
revenue will be between $19.2 billion and $19.8 billion. Patent expirations are expected to drive a rapid and 
severe decline in U.S. sales of Cymbalta and Evista. These revenue declines are expected to be partially 
offset by growth from a portfolio of other products including Humalog, Trajenta, Cialis, Forteo and Alimta, as 
well as our animal health business. In addition, strong revenue growth is expected in China, while a weaker 
Japanese yen is expected to dampen revenue growth in Japan. 

We anticipate that gross margin as a percent of revenue will be approximately 74 percent in 2014. Marketing, 
selling, and administrative expenses are expected to be in the range of $6.2 billion to $6.5 billion. Research 
and development expense is expected to be in the range of $4.4 billion to $4.7 billion. Other—net, (income) 
expense is expected to be in a range between $100 million and $200 million of income, benefited by gains of 
$150 million to $200 million on the sale of equity investments acquired as part of past business development 
transactions. Operating cash flows are expected to be sufficient to pay our dividend of approximately 
$2.1 billion, allow for capital expenditures of approximately $1.3 billion, and fund potential business 
development activity and share repurchases.

Our 2014 financial guidance does not include a potential charge related to the collaboration with Pfizer to 
develop and commercialize tanezumab. If the partial clinical hold for the molecule is removed and we and 
Pfizer move forward with development, we will pay a $200 million upfront fee to Pfizer. This charge would 
reduce EPS by approximately $0.12.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
ELI LILLY AND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Tables present dollars in millions, except per-share data)

Note 1:    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The accounts of all wholly-owned and majority-
owned subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements. Where our ownership of 
consolidated subsidiaries is less than 100 percent, the noncontrolling shareholders’ interests are reflected as 
a separate component of equity. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates 
and assumptions 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. We issued our financial statements by filing with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission and have evaluated subsequent events up to the time of the filing.

All per-share amounts, unless otherwise noted in the footnotes, are presented on a diluted basis, that is, 
based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive stock 
options and other incremental shares.

Cash equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to 
be cash equivalents. The cost of these investments approximates fair value.

Inventories

We state all inventories at the lower of cost or market. We use the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for the 
majority of our inventories located in the continental United States. Other inventories are valued by the first-in, 
first-out (FIFO) method. FIFO cost approximates current replacement cost. 

Investments

Substantially all of our investments in debt and marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-
sale. Investment securities with maturity dates of less than one year from the date of the balance sheet are 
classified as short-term. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and 
losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income (loss). The credit portion of unrealized losses on 
our debt securities considered to be other-than-temporary is recognized in earnings. The remaining portion of 
the other-than-temporary impairment on our debt securities is then recorded, net of tax, in other 
comprehensive income (loss). The entire amount of other-than-temporary impairment on our equity securities 
is recognized in earnings. We do not evaluate cost-method investments for impairment unless there is an 
indicator of impairment. We review these investments for indicators of impairment on a regular basis. 
Realized gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities are computed based upon specific 
identification of the initial cost adjusted for any other-than-temporary declines in fair value that were recorded 
in earnings. Investments in companies over which we have significant influence but not a controlling interest 
are accounted for using the equity method with our share of earnings or losses reported in other–net, 
(income) expense. We own no investments that are considered to be trading securities.

Risk-management instruments

Our derivative activities are initiated within the guidelines of documented corporate risk-management policies 
and do not create additional risk because gains and losses on derivative contracts offset losses and gains on 
the assets, liabilities, and transactions being hedged. As derivative contracts are initiated, we designate the 
instruments individually as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. Management reviews the 
correlation and effectiveness of our derivatives on a quarterly basis.

4141

For derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the derivative instrument is 
marked to market with gains and losses recognized currently in income to offset the respective losses and 
gains recognized on the underlying exposure. For derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as cash 
flow hedges, the effective portion of gains and losses on these contracts is reported as a component of 
accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period the hedged 
transaction affects earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness is immediately recognized in earnings. Derivative 
contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments are recorded at fair value with the gain or loss 
recognized in current earnings during the period of change.

We may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating currency exchange 
rates (principally the euro, the British pound, and the Japanese yen). Foreign currency derivatives used for 
hedging are put in place using the same or like currencies and duration as the underlying exposures. Forward 
contracts are principally used to manage exposures arising from subsidiary trade and loan payables and 
receivables denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts are recorded at fair value with the gain or loss 
recognized in other–net, (income) expense. We may enter into foreign currency forward contracts and 
currency swaps as fair value hedges of firm commitments. Forward contracts generally have maturities not 
exceeding 12 months.

In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates which can vary 
the costs of financing, investing, and operating. We address a portion of these risks through a controlled 
program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. The objective of 
controlling these risks is to limit the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on earnings. Our primary interest-
rate risk exposure results from changes in short-term U.S. dollar interest rates. In an effort to manage 
interest-rate exposures, we strive to achieve an acceptable balance between fixed- and floating-rate debt and 
investment positions and may enter into interest rate swaps or collars to help maintain that balance. 

Interest rate swaps or collars that convert our fixed-rate debt to a floating rate are designated as fair value 
hedges of the underlying instruments. Interest rate swaps or collars that convert floating-rate debt to a fixed 
rate are designated as cash flow hedges. Interest expense on the debt is adjusted to include the payments 
made or received under the swap agreements.

We may enter into forward contracts and designate them as cash flow hedges to limit the potential volatility of 
earnings and cash flow associated with forecasted sales of available-for-sale securities.

We may enter into forward-starting interest rate swaps as part of any anticipated future debt issuances in 
order to reduce the risk of cash flow volatility from future changes in interest rates. Upon completion of a debt 
issuance and termination of the swap, the change in fair value of these instruments is recorded as part of 
other comprehensive income (loss) and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt agreement.

Goodwill and other intangibles

Goodwill results from excess consideration in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable net 
assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized.

Intangible assets with finite lives are capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their 
estimated useful lives, ranging from 3 to 20 years.

The costs of in-process research and development (IPR&D) projects acquired directly in a transaction other 
than a business combination are capitalized if the projects have an alternative future use; otherwise, they are 
expensed. The fair values of IPR&D projects acquired in business combinations are capitalized as other 
intangible assets. Several methods may be used to determine the estimated fair value of the IPR&D acquired 
in a business combination. We utilize the “income method,” which applies a probability weighting that 
considers the risk of development and commercialization, to the estimated future net cash flows that are 
derived from projected sales revenues and estimated costs. These projections are based on factors such as 
relevant market size, patent protection, historical pricing of similar products, and expected industry trends. 
The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted to the present value using an appropriate discount 
rate. This analysis is performed for each project independently. These assets are treated as indefinite-lived 
intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the projects, at which time the assets are tested for 
impairment and amortized over the remaining useful life or written off, as appropriate. For transactions other 
than a business combination, we also capitalize milestone payments incurred at or after the product has 

42

42

obtained regulatory approval for marketing and amortize those amounts over the remaining estimated useful 
life of the underlying asset.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually and when 
impairment indicators are present. When required, a comparison of fair value to the carrying amount of assets 
is performed to determine the amount of any impairment. When determining the fair value of indefinite-lived 
IPR&D assets for impairment testing purposes, we utilize the "income method" discussed in the previous 
paragraph. Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when an indicator of impairment is 
present.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Provisions for depreciation of buildings and equipment 
are computed generally by the straight-line method at rates based on their estimated useful lives (12 to 
50 years for buildings and 3 to 18 years for equipment). We review the carrying value of long-lived assets for 
potential impairment on a periodic basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the 
carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined by comparing projected 
undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset to its carrying value. If an impairment is identified, a 
loss is recorded equal to the excess of the asset’s net book value over its fair value, and the cost basis is 
adjusted.

Litigation and environmental liabilities

Litigation accruals, environmental liabilities, and the related estimated insurance recoverables are reflected on 
a gross basis as liabilities and assets, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. With respect to the 
product liability claims currently asserted against us, we have accrued for our estimated exposures to the 
extent they are both probable and reasonably estimable based on the information available to us. We accrue 
for certain product liability claims incurred but not filed to the extent we can formulate a reasonable estimate 
of their costs. We estimate these expenses based primarily on historical claims experience and data 
regarding product usage. Legal defense costs expected to be incurred in connection with significant product 
liability loss contingencies are accrued when both probable and reasonably estimable. For substantially all of 
our currently marketed products, we are completely self-insured for product liability losses.

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue from sales of products at the time title of goods passes to the buyer and the buyer 
assumes the risks and rewards of ownership. Provisions for returns, discounts, and rebates are established in 
the same period the related sales are recognized.

We also generate income as a result of collaboration agreements. Revenue from co-promotion arrangements 
is based upon gross margins reported to us by our co-promotion partners. Initial fees we receive from the 
partnering of our compounds under development where we have continuing involvement are generally 
amortized through the expected product approval date. For out-licensing agreements that include both the 
sale of marketing rights to our commercialized products and a related commitment to supply the products, the 
initial fees received are generally recognized in net product sales over the term of the supply agreement when 
we have determined that the marketing rights do not have value on a standalone basis. We immediately 
recognize the full amount of developmental milestone payments due to us upon the achievement of the 
milestone event if the event is objectively determinable and the milestone is substantive in its entirety. A 
milestone is considered substantive if the consideration earned 1) relates solely to past performance, 2) is 
commensurate with the enhancement in the pharmaceutical product's value associated with the achievement 
of the important event in its development life cycle, and 3) is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and 
payment terms within the arrangement. Milestone payments earned by us are generally recorded in other–
net, (income) expense. If the payment to us is a commercialization payment that is part of a multiple-element 
collaborative commercialization arrangement and is a result of the initiation of the commercialization period 
(e.g., payments triggered by regulatory approval for marketing or launch of the product), we amortize the 
payment to income as we perform under the terms of the arrangement. See Note 4 for specific agreement 
details.

Royalty revenue from licensees, which is based on third-party sales of licensed products and technology, is 
recorded as earned in accordance with the contract terms when third-party sales can be reasonably 

4343

measured and collection of the funds is reasonably assured. This royalty revenue is included in collaboration 
and other revenue.

Research and development expenses and acquired IPR&D

Research and development expenses include the following:

•  Research and development costs, which are expensed as incurred.

•  Milestone payment obligations incurred prior to regulatory approval of the product, which are accrued 

when the event requiring payment of the milestone occurs.

Acquired IPR&D expense includes the initial costs of IPR&D projects acquired directly in asset acquisitions, 
unless they have an alternative future use.

Income taxes

Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and 
income tax reporting based on enacted tax laws and rates. Federal income taxes are provided on the portion 
of the income of foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the U.S. and be taxable. When foreign 
earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S., no accrual for U.S. income taxes is 
provided.

We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax 
position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the 
position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on 
the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

Earnings per share

We calculate basic earnings per share based on the weighted-average number of common shares 
outstanding and incremental shares. We calculate diluted earnings per share based on the weighted-average 
number of common shares outstanding, including incremental shares and dilutive stock options. See Note 13 
for further discussion.

Stock-based compensation

We recognize the fair value of stock-based compensation as expense over the requisite service period of the 
individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. Under our policy, all stock-based awards are 
approved prior to the date of grant. The compensation committee of the board of directors approves the value 
of the award and date of grant. Stock-based compensation that is awarded as part of our annual equity grant 
is made on a specific grant date scheduled in advance.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods in the consolidated financial statements and 
accompanying notes to conform with the current presentation.

Note 2:    Implementation of New Financial Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a clarification regarding the presentation of an 
unrecognized tax benefit related to a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit 
carryforward. Under this new standard, the liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, 
should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset if available under the 
tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the 
disallowance of a tax position. Otherwise, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial 
statements as a separate liability. The assessment is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax 
asset that exist at the reporting date. The provisions of the new standard are effective on a prospective basis 
beginning in 2014 for annual and interim reporting periods, with earlier adoption permitted. While we are still 
finalizing our determination of the impact of this standard on both our deferred tax assets and income taxes 
payable, we do not currently anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on 
our consolidated balance sheets, and it will have no impact on our consolidated statements of operations.

Note 3:    Acquisitions

During 2012 and 2011, we completed the acquisitions of ChemGen Corporation (ChemGen) and the animal 
health business of Janssen Pharmaceuticia NV (Janssen), respectively. These acquisitions were accounted 
for as business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed were recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date in our consolidated financial 
statements. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates 
and assumptions. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets, where 
applicable, has been recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of these acquisitions are included in our 
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. None of these acquisitions were material to our 
consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the acquisitions of businesses, we also acquired assets in development in 2013 and 2011 which 
are further discussed below in Product Acquisitions and in Note 4, respectively. Upon acquisition, the acquired 
IPR&D related to these products was immediately written off as an expense because the products had no 
alternative future use. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011, we recorded acquired IPR&D 
charges of $57.1 million and $388.0 million, respectively, associated with these transactions. There were no 
acquired IPR&D charges in 2012.

In connection with the arrangements described below, our partners may be entitled to future milestones and 
royalties based on sales should these products be approved for commercialization.

Acquisition of Businesses

ChemGen

On February 17, 2012, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of ChemGen Corporation, a privately-held 
bioscience company specializing in the development and commercialization of innovative feed-enzyme 
products that improve the efficiency of poultry, egg, and meat production, for total purchase consideration of 
$206.9 million in cash. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded $151.5 million of marketed product 
assets and $55.4 million of other net assets. 

Janssen

On July 7, 2011, we acquired the animal health business of Janssen, a Johnson & Johnson company, for total 
purchase consideration of $307.8 million in cash. We obtained a portfolio of more than 50 marketed animal 
health products. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded $234.4 million of marketed product assets, 
$29.6 million of acquired IPR&D assets, and $43.8 million of other net assets.

Product Acquisitions

In December 2013, we acquired all development and commercial rights for a calcitonin gene-related peptide 
(CGRP) antibody currently being studied as a potential treatment for the prevention of frequent, recurrent 
migraine headaches for $57.1 million in cash. At the time of the purchase, the product had completed a 
successful Phase II proof-of-concept study and had no alternative future use. The related $57.1 million charge 
for acquired IPR&D was included as expense in the fourth quarter of 2013 and is deductible for tax purposes. 

Note 4:    Collaborations

We often enter into collaborative arrangements to develop and commercialize drug candidates. Collaborative 
activities may include research and development, marketing and selling (including promotional activities and 
physician detailing), manufacturing, and distribution. These collaborations often require milestone and royalty 
or profit-share payments, contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the 
asset in development, as well as expense reimbursements or payments to the third party. Revenues related 
to products we sell pursuant to these arrangements are included in net product sales, while other sources of 
revenue (e.g., royalties and profit-share payments) are included in collaboration and other revenue. For the 
years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, we recognized collaboration and other revenue of 
$707.5 million, $633.0 million, and $681.7 million, respectively. Operating expenses for costs incurred 
pursuant to these arrangements are reported in their respective expense line item, net of any payments made 

4545

to or reimbursements received from our collaboration partners. Each collaboration is unique in nature, and our 
more significant arrangements are discussed below.  

Exenatide 

In November 2011, we agreed with Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Amylin) to terminate our collaborative 
arrangement for the joint development, marketing, and selling of Byetta® (exenatide injection) and other forms 
of exenatide such as Bydureon® (exenatide extended-release for injectable suspension). Under the terms of 
the termination agreement, Amylin made a one-time, upfront payment to us of $250.0 million. Amylin also 
agreed to make future revenue-sharing payments to us in an amount equal to 15.0 percent of its global net 
sales of exenatide products until Amylin made aggregate payments to us of $1.20 billion plus interest, which 
would accrue at 9.5 percent. Upon completion of the acquisition of Amylin by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company 
in August 2012, Amylin's obligation of $1.26 billion, including accrued interest, was paid in full, with $1.21 
billion representing a prepayment of the obligation. We would also receive a $150.0 million milestone 
payment contingent upon U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of a once-monthly suspension 
version of exenatide.

Commercial operations were transferred to Amylin in the U.S. in late-2011. Outside the U.S., we transferred to 
Amylin exenatide commercial rights and control in all markets during the first quarter of 2013.

Payments received from Amylin were allocated 65 percent to the U.S., which was treated as a contract 
termination, and 35 percent to the business outside the U.S., which was treated as the disposition of a 
business. The allocation was based upon relative fair values. The revenue-sharing income allocated to the 
U.S. was recognized as collaboration and other revenue, consistent with our policy for royalty revenue, while 
the income related to the prepayment of Amylin's obligation allocated to the U.S. was recognized in other-net, 
(income) expense. All income allocated to the business outside the U.S. that was transferred during the first 
quarter of 2013 was recognized as a gain on the disposition of a business in other–net, (income) expense, net 
of the goodwill allocated to the business transferred. 

Prior to termination of the collaboration, we and Amylin were co-promoting Byetta in the United States. Amylin 
was responsible for manufacturing and primarily utilized third-party contract manufacturers to supply Byetta. 
We supplied Byetta pen delivery devices for Amylin and will continue to do so for a period that will not extend 
beyond the first quarter of 2014. We were responsible for certain development costs related to certain clinical 
trials outside the U.S. that we were conducting as of the date of the termination agreement as well as 
commercialization costs outside the U.S. until the commercial rights were transferred to Amylin.

Under the terms of our prior arrangement, we reported as collaboration and other revenue our 50 percent 
share of gross margin on Amylin’s net product sales in the United States. We reported as net product sales 
100 percent of sales outside the U.S. and our sales of Byetta pen delivery devices to Amylin. We paid Amylin 
a percentage of the gross margin of exenatide sales outside of the U.S., and these costs were recorded in 
cost of sales. This arrangement for the commercial operations outside the U.S. continued until those rights 
were transferred to Amylin during the first quarter of 2013. Prior to termination of the agreement, under the 
50/50 profit-sharing arrangement for the U.S., in addition to recording as revenue our 50 percent share of 
exenatide’s gross margin, we also recorded approximately 50 percent of U.S. related research and 
development costs and marketing and selling costs in the respective line items on the consolidated 
statements of operations.

In accordance with the prior arrangement and pursuant to Amylin’s request, we loaned Amylin $165.0 million 
in the second quarter of 2011. This loan and related accrued interest were paid in full in August 2012.

Effient®

We are in a collaborative arrangement with Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. (Daiichi Sankyo) to develop, market, and 
promote Effient. We and Daiichi Sankyo co-promote Effient in certain territories (including the U.S. and five 
major European markets), while we have exclusive marketing rights in certain other territories. Daiichi Sankyo 
has exclusive marketing rights in Japan and certain other territories. The parties share approximately 50/50 in 
the profits, as well as in the costs of development and marketing in the co-promotion territories. A third party 
manufactures bulk product, and we produce the finished product for our exclusive and co-promotion 
territories. We record product sales in our exclusive and co-promotion territories. In our exclusive territories, 
we pay Daiichi Sankyo a royalty specific to these territories. Profit-share payments made to Daiichi Sankyo 
are recorded as marketing, selling, and administrative expenses. All royalties paid to Daiichi Sankyo and the 
third-party manufacturer are recorded in cost of sales. Effient sales were $508.7 million, $457.2 million, and 
$302.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Erbitux®

We have several collaborations with respect to Erbitux. The most significant collaborations are in the U.S., 
Canada, and Japan (Bristol-Myers Squibb Company); and worldwide except the U.S. and Canada (Merck 
KGaA). Upon expiration of the agreements, all of the rights to Erbitux in the U.S. and Canada return to us and 
certain rights to Erbitux outside the U.S. and Canada will remain with Merck KGaA (Merck).

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company

Pursuant to commercial agreements with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and E.R. Squibb (collectively, BMS), 
we are co-developing Erbitux in the U.S. and Canada with BMS through September 2018, exclusively, and in 
Japan with BMS and Merck through 2032. Under these arrangements, Erbitux research and development and 
other costs are shared by both companies according to a predetermined ratio.

Responsibilities associated with clinical and other ongoing studies are apportioned between the parties under 
the agreements. Collaborative reimbursements received by us for supply of clinical trial materials; for 
research and development; and for a portion of marketing, selling, and administrative expenses are recorded 
as a reduction to the respective expense line items on the consolidated statement of operations. We receive a 
distribution fee in the form of a royalty from BMS, based on a percentage of net sales in the U.S. and Canada, 
which is recorded in collaboration and other revenue. Royalty expense paid to third parties, net of any 
reimbursements received, is recorded as a reduction of collaboration and other revenue.

We are responsible for the manufacture and supply of all requirements of Erbitux in bulk-form active 
pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for clinical and commercial use in the U.S. and Canada, and BMS will 
purchase all of its requirements of API for commercial use from us, subject to certain stipulations per the 
agreement. Sales of Erbitux to BMS for commercial use are reported in net product sales.

4747

Merck KGaA

A development and license agreement grants Merck exclusive rights to market Erbitux outside of the U.S. and 
Canada, and expires in December 2018. A separate agreement grants co-exclusive rights among Merck, 
BMS and us in Japan and expires in 2032. 

Merck manufactures Erbitux for supply in its territory as well as for Japan. We receive a royalty on the sales of 
Erbitux outside of the U.S. and Canada, which is included in collaboration and other revenue as earned. 
Collaborative reimbursements received for research and development and for marketing, selling, and 
administrative expenses are recorded as a reduction to the respective expense line items on the consolidated 
statement of operations. Royalty expense paid to third parties, net of any royalty reimbursements received, is 
recorded as a reduction of collaboration and other revenue.

Diabetes Collaboration

In January 2011, we and Boehringer Ingelheim entered into a global agreement to jointly develop and 
commercialize a portfolio of diabetes compounds. Currently, the compounds included in the collaboration are 
Boehringer Ingelheim's two oral diabetes agents, linagliptin and empagliflozin, and our new insulin glargine 
product. Additionally, Boehringer Ingelheim may elect to opt in to the Phase III development and potential 
commercialization of our anti-TGF-beta monoclonal antibody. Under the terms of the global agreement, we 
made an initial one-time payment to Boehringer Ingelheim of $388.0 million and recorded an acquired IPR&D 
charge, which was included as expense in the first quarter of 2011 and was deductible for tax purposes.
Linagliptin was subsequently approved in 2011 and launched in the U.S. (trade name Tradjenta®), Japan 
(trade name TrazentaTM), certain countries in Europe (trade name Trajenta®), and other countries. Currently, 
empagliflozin and the new insulin glargine product are both under regulatory review in the U.S., Europe, and 
Japan, and the anti-TGF-beta monoclonal antibody is in Phase II clinical testing. 

In connection with the approval of linagliptin in the U.S., Japan, and Europe, in 2011 we paid $478.7 million in 
success-based regulatory milestones, all of which were capitalized as intangible assets and are being 
amortized to cost of sales. We incurred milestone-related expenses of $97.2 million in connection with 
regulatory submissions for empagliflozin in the U.S., Europe, and Japan during 2013. These regulatory 
submission milestones were recorded as research and development expenses. We may also pay up to 
225.0 million euro in additional success-based regulatory milestones for empagliflozin. 

During 2013, we earned $50.0 million in milestones for the regulatory submissions of our new insulin glargine 
product in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. These submission milestones were recorded as income in other–net, 
(income) expense. In the future, we will be eligible to receive up to $250.0 million in success-based regulatory 
milestones on our new insulin glargine product. 

Should Boehringer Ingelheim elect to opt in to the Phase III development and potential commercialization of 
the anti-TGF-beta monoclonal antibody, we would be eligible for up to $525.0 million in opt-in and success-
based regulatory milestone payments. 

The companies share ongoing development costs equally. The companies also share in the 
commercialization costs and gross margin for any product resulting from the collaboration that receives 
regulatory approval. We record our portion of the gross margin as collaboration and other revenue, and we 
record our portion of the commercialization costs as marketing, selling, and administrative expense. Each 
company will also be entitled to potential performance payments on sales of the molecules they contribute to 
the collaboration. Our revenue related to this collaboration (which is, to-date, entirely related to Trajenta) was 
$249.2 million, $88.6 million, and $15.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, 
respectively.

Solanezumab

We have an agreement with an affiliate of TPG-Axon Capital (TPG) whereby TPG funded a portion of the 
Phase III development of solanezumab. Under the agreement, TPG’s obligation to fund solanezumab costs 
was not material and ended in the first half of 2011. In exchange for their funding, TPG may receive success-
based sales milestones totaling approximately $70 million and mid-single digit royalties contingent upon the 
successful development of solanezumab. The royalties would be paid for approximately ten years after launch 
of a product.

Baricitinib

In December 2009, we entered into a worldwide license and collaboration agreement with Incyte Corporation 
(Incyte) to acquire development and commercialization rights to its Janus tyrosine kinase (JAK) inhibitor 
compound, now known as baricitinib, and certain follow-on compounds, for the treatment of inflammatory and 
autoimmune diseases. Incyte has the right to receive tiered, double-digit royalty payments on future global 
sales with rates ranging up to 20 percent if the product is successfully commercialized. The agreement 
provides Incyte with options to co-develop these compounds on an indication-by-indication basis by funding 
30 percent of the associated development costs from the initiation of a Phase IIb trial through regulatory 
approval in exchange for increased tiered royalties ranging up to percentages in the high twenties. In 2010, 
Incyte exercised its option to co-develop baricitinib in rheumatoid arthritis. The agreement also provides 
Incyte with an option to co-promote in the U.S. and calls for payments associated with certain development, 
success-based regulatory, and sales-based milestones. Upon initiation of Phase III trials for the treatment of 
rheumatoid arthritis in the fourth quarter of 2012, we incurred a milestone-related expense of $50.0 million 
which was recorded as research and development expense. As of December 31, 2013, Incyte is eligible to 
receive up to $415.0 million of additional payments from us contingent upon certain development and 
success-based regulatory milestones as well as an additional $150.0 million of potential sales-based 
milestones.

Tanezumab

In October 2013, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer) to jointly develop and 
globally commercialize tanezumab for the potential treatment of osteoarthritis pain, chronic low back pain and 
cancer pain. Tanezumab is currently in Phase III development and is subject to a partial clinical hold by the 
FDA pending submission of nonclinical data to the FDA. Under the agreement, the companies share equally 
the ongoing development costs and, if successful, in gross margins and commercialization expenses. 
Contingent upon the parties continuing in the collaboration after receipt of the FDA's response to the 
submission of the nonclinical data, we will be obligated to pay an upfront fee of $200.0 million. This payment 
would be immediately expensed. In addition to this fee, we may pay up to $350.0 million in success-based 
regulatory milestones and up to $1.23 billion in a series of sales-based milestones, contingent upon the 
commercial success of tanezumab. Both parties have the right to terminate the agreement under certain 
circumstances. 

Summary of Collaboration-Related Commission and Profit-Share Payments

The aggregate amount of commission and profit-share payments included in marketing, selling, and 
administrative expense pursuant to the collaborations described above was $203.7 million, $188.5 million, 
and $125.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred $30.0 million of asset impairment and other special 
charges related primarily to costs associated with the anticipated closure of a packaging and distribution 
facility in Germany. 

For the year ended December 31, 2012, we incurred $206.6 million of asset impairment and other special 
charges consisting of $122.6 million related to an intangible asset impairment for liprotamase (see Note 8) net 
of the reduction of the related contingent consideration liability, $64.0 million related to the recognition of an 

4949

asset impairment associated with the decision to stop development of a delivery device platform, and $20.0 
million resulting from a change in our estimates of returned product related to the withdrawal of Xigris™ from 
the market during the fourth quarter of 2011.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, we incurred $149.6 million of asset impairments and other special

Note 7:    Financial Instruments

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables and 
interest-bearing investments. Wholesale distributors of life-sciences products account for a substantial portion 
of trade receivables; collateral is generally not required. The risk associated with this concentration is 
mitigated by our ongoing credit-review procedures and insurance. A large portion of our cash is held by a few 
major financial institutions. We monitor our exposures with these institutions and do not expect any of these 
institutions to fail to meet their obligations. Major financial institutions represent the largest component of our 
investments in corporate debt securities. In accordance with documented corporate policies, we monitor the 
amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution or corporate issuer. We are exposed to credit-related 
losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to risk-management instruments but do not expect 
any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit ratings.

At December 31, 2013, we had outstanding foreign currency forward commitments to purchase 462.6 million 
U.S. dollars and sell 337.6 million euro; commitments to purchase 520.7 million euro and sell 716.8 million 
U.S. dollars; commitments to purchase 180.7 million British pounds and sell 216.0 million euro; and 
commitments to purchase 234.4 million U.S. dollars and sell 24.35 billion Japanese yen, which will all settle 
within 30 days.

At December 31, 2013, substantially all of our total debt is at a fixed rate. We have converted approximately 
65 percent of our fixed-rate debt to floating rates through the use of interest rate swaps.

During 2013 we entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $500.0 million and 
maturities not exceeding 30 years to hedge a portion of the cash flows associated with the planned 
refinancing of our $1.00 billion March 2014 debt maturity.

The effective portion of net gains (losses) on equity contracts in designated cash flow hedging relationships 
recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) was $(149.6) million, $0.0 million, and $35.6 million for the 
years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. There were no equity contracts in designated 
cash flow hedging relationships in 2012. During the next 12 months, we expect to sell the underlying equity 
securities in designated cash flow hedging relationships that were outstanding at December 31, 2013, and will 
reclassify to earnings the accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the cash flow hedges and the 
unrealized gains on the underlying equity securities. The unrealized gains are in excess of the losses on the 
cash flow hedges.

For forward-starting interest rate swaps in designated cash flow hedging relationships associated with an 
anticipated debt issuance, the effective portion of net gains recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) 
was $16.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were no forward-starting interest rate swaps 
in designated cash flow hedging relationships in 2012 and 2011.

During the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings  
$8.8 million of pretax net losses on cash flow hedges of the variability in expected future interest payments on 
our floating rate debt.

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, net losses related to ineffectiveness, as well as 
net losses related to the portion of our risk-management hedging instruments, fair value hedges, and cash 
flow hedges that were excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, were not material.

Other-than-temporary impairment losses on investment securities of $11.3 million, $22.6 million, and 
$31.1 million were recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 
2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. For fixed-income securities, the amount of credit losses represents the 
difference between the present value of cash flows expected to be collected on these securities and the 
amortized cost. Factors considered in assessing the credit loss were the position in the capital structure, 
vintage and amount of collateral, delinquency rates, current credit support, and geographic concentration.

The securities in an unrealized loss position include fixed-rate debt securities of varying maturities. The value 
of fixed-income securities is sensitive to changes in the yield curve and other market conditions. 
Approximately 90 percent of the securities in a loss position are investment-grade debt securities. At this time, 
there is no indication of default on interest or principal payments for debt securities other than those for which 
an other-than-temporary impairment charge has been recorded. We do not intend to sell and it is not more 
likely than not we will be required to sell the securities in a loss position before the market values recover or 
the underlying cash flows have been received, and we have concluded that no additional other-than-
temporary loss is required to be charged to earnings as of December 31, 2013.

IPR&D consists of the acquisition date fair value of products under development acquired in business 
combinations that have not yet achieved regulatory approval for marketing adjusted for subsequent 
impairments. Examples of such products acquired in business combinations include liprotamase and 
Amyvid®, which are discussed further below. As discussed in Note 1, we use the "income method" to calculate 
the fair value of the IPR&D assets, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. 

No material impairments occurred with respect to the carrying value of IPR&D for the year ended December 
31, 2013.

In 2012, we recorded impairment charges of $205.0 million related to liprotamase as a result of changes in 
key assumptions used in the valuation, based upon additional communications with the FDA regarding the 
clinical trial that would be required for resubmission, and our expectations for the product.

In 2011, we recorded impairment charges of $151.5 million due primarily to the impairment of the IPR&D 
assets related to Amyvid and liprotamase. The impairment of Amyvid was due to a delay in product launch 
and lower sales projections during the early part of the product’s expected life cycle. In April 2011, we 
received a complete response letter from the FDA for the New Drug Application (NDA) for liprotamase, which 
communicated the need for us to conduct an additional clinical trial prior to a resubmission, resulting in an 
impairment of liprotamase.

Marketed products consist of the amortized cost of the rights to assets acquired in business combinations and 
approved for marketing in a significant global jurisdiction (U.S., Europe, and Japan) and capitalized milestone 
payments. Other intangibles consist primarily of the amortized cost of licensed platform technologies that 
have alternative future uses in research and development, manufacturing technologies, and customer 
relationships from business combinations. No material impairments occurred with respect to the carrying 
value of finite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

See Note 3 for further discussion of intangible assets acquired in recent business combinations.

As of December 31, 2013, the remaining weighted-average amortization period for finite-lived intangible 
assets is approximately 8 years. Amortization expense was $555.0 million, $563.0 million, and $469.0 million 
for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The estimated amortization expense associated with our current finite-
lived intangible assets for each of the next five years approximates $530 million in 2014, $490 million in 2015, 
$380 million in 2016, $200 million in 2017, and $180 million in 2018. Amortization expense is included in 
either cost of sales, marketing, selling, and administrative or research and development depending on the 
nature of the intangible asset being amortized.

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $774.8 million, 
$754.0 million, and $732.4 million, respectively. Interest costs of $24.1 million, $21.0 million, and $25.7 million 
were capitalized as part of property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, 
respectively. Total rental expense for all leases, including contingent rentals (not material), amounted to 
$227.2 million, $262.2 million, and $267.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, 
respectively. Assets under capital leases included in property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance 
sheets, capital lease obligations entered into, and future minimum rental commitments are not material.

Current maturities of long-term debt of $1.51 billion were repaid during the year ended December 31, 2012.

The aggregate amounts of maturities on long-term debt for the next five years are $1.01 billion in 2014, 
$9.5 million in 2015, $205.6 million in 2016, $1.00 billion in 2017, and $200.3 million in 2018.

At December 31, 2013, we have $1.36 billion of unused committed bank credit facilities, $1.20 billion of which 
is a revolving credit facility that backs our commercial paper program and matures in April 2015. There were 
no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility during the year ended December 31, 2013. 
Compensating balances and commitment fees are not material, and there are no conditions that are probable 
of occurring under which the lines may be withdrawn.

We have converted approximately 65 percent of all fixed-rate debt to floating rates through the use of interest 
rate swaps. The weighted-average effective borrowing rates based on debt obligations and interest rates at 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, including the effects of interest rate swaps for hedged debt obligations, were 
3.10 percent and 3.20 percent, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, cash payments for interest on borrowings totaled 
$139.7 million, $171.9 million, and $167.4 million, respectively, net of capitalized interest.

In accordance with the requirements of derivatives and hedging guidance, the portion of our fixed-rate debt 
obligations that is hedged, as a fair value hedge, is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as an amount 
equal to the sum of the debt’s carrying value plus the fair value adjustment representing changes in fair value 
of the hedged debt attributable to movements in market interest rates subsequent to the inception of the 
hedge.

Note 11: Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense of $144.9 million, $141.5 million, and $147.4 million was recognized for 
the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, as well as related tax benefits of $50.7 
million, $49.5 million, and $51.6 million, respectively. Our stock-based compensation expense consists of 
performance awards (PAs), shareholder value awards (SVAs), and restricted stock units (RSUs). We 
recognize stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, 
which equals the vesting period. We provide newly issued shares and treasury stock to satisfy stock option 
exercises and for the issuance of PA, SVA, and RSU shares. We classify tax benefits resulting from tax 
deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for exercised stock options as a financing cash 
flow in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

At December 31, 2013, additional stock-based compensation awards may be granted under the 2002 Lilly 
Stock Plan for not more than 100.0 million shares.

Performance Award Program

PAs are granted to officers and management and are payable in shares of our common stock. The number of 
PA shares actually issued, if any, varies depending on the achievement of certain pre-established earnings-
per-share targets over a two-year period. PA shares are accounted for at fair value based upon the closing 
stock price on the date of grant and fully vest at the end of the measurement periods. The fair values of PAs 
granted for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 were $50.19, $35.74, and $31.90, 
respectively. The number of shares ultimately issued for the PA program is dependent upon the earnings 
achieved during the vesting period. Pursuant to this plan, approximately 0.7 million shares, 1.6 million shares, 
and 3.9 million shares were issued during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. 
Approximately 0.6 million shares are expected to be issued in 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the total 
remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested PAs was $18.9 million, which will be 
amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of 12 months.

Shareholder Value Award Program

SVAs are granted to officers and management and are payable in shares of our common stock at the end of a 
three-year period. The number of shares actually issued, if any, varies depending on our stock price at the 
end of the three-year vesting period compared to pre-established target stock prices. We measure the fair 
value of the SVA unit on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The model utilizes multiple 
input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award grant 
and calculates the fair value of the award. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on implied 
volatilities from traded options on our stock, historical volatility of our stock price, and other factors. Similarly, 
the dividend yield is based on historical experience and our estimate of future dividend yields. The risk-free 
interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The weighted-average 
fair values of the SVA units granted during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 were 
$45.17, $30.35, and $28.33, respectively, determined using the following assumptions:

Approximately 2.2 million shares are expected to be issued in 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the total 
remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested SVAs was $51.6 million, which will be 
amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of 20 months.

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs are granted to certain employees and are payable in shares of our common stock. RSU shares are 
accounted for at fair value based upon the closing stock price on the date of grant. The corresponding 
expense is amortized over the vesting period, typically 3 years. The fair values of RSU awards granted during 
the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 were $54.10, $39.65, and $35.80, respectively. The 
number of shares ultimately issued for the RSU program remains constant with the exception of forfeitures. 
Pursuant to this plan, 1.1 million, 1.4 million, and 1.5 million shares were granted during the years ended 
December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, and approximately 0.8 million, 0.3 million, and 0.2 million 
shares were issued during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Approximately 
0.8 million shares are expected to be issued in 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the total remaining 
unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSUs was $58.4 million, which will be amortized over 
the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of 21 months.

Stock Option Program

Stock options were granted prior to 2007 to officers, management, and board members at exercise prices 
equal to the fair market value of our stock at the date of grant. Options fully vested 3 years from the grant date 
and have a term of 10 years.

Note 12:    Shareholders' Equity

During 2013, we purchased $500.0 million of shares associated with our $5.00 billion share repurchase 
program that was announced in the fourth quarter of 2013. As of December 31, 2013, there were $4.50 billion 
of shares remaining in that program. During 2013 and 2012, we repurchased $1.10 billion and $400.0 million, 
respectively, of shares, completing our $1.50 billion share repurchase program announced in 2012. During 
2012, we also repurchased $419.2 million of shares, completing our $3.00 billion share repurchase program 
announced in 2000. No shares were repurchased during the year ended December 31, 2011. 

We have 5.0 million authorized shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no preferred 
stock has been issued.

We have an employee benefit trust that held 50.0 million shares of our common stock at both December 31, 
2013 and 2012, to provide a source of funds to assist us in meeting our obligations under various employee 
benefit plans. The cost basis of the shares held in the trust was $3.01 billion at both December 31, 2013 and 
2012, and is shown as a reduction in shareholders’ equity. Any dividend transactions between us and the trust 
are eliminated. Stock held by the trust is not considered outstanding in the computation of earnings per share. 
The assets of the trust were not used to fund any of our obligations under these employee benefit plans 
during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011.

We have an ESOP as a funding vehicle for the existing employee savings plan. The ESOP used the proceeds 
of a loan from us to purchase shares of common stock from our treasury. The ESOP issued third-party debt, 
which was repaid in 2011. The proceeds were used to purchase shares of our common stock on the open 
market. As of December 31, 2013, all shares of common stock held by the ESOP were allocated to 
participating employees as part of our savings plan contribution. The fair value of shares allocated each 
period was recognized as compensation expense.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, no individually significant items were classified as “Other” deferred tax 
assets.

The deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance amounts for U.S. federal and state net operating 
losses and tax credits shown above have been reduced for differences between financial reporting and tax 
return filings. 

Based on filed tax returns, we have tax credit carryforwards and carrybacks of $494.6 million available to 
reduce future income taxes; $2.9 million will be carried back; $183.8 million of the tax credit carryforwards will 
expire between 2023 and 2033; and $4.9 million of the tax credit carryforwards will never expire. The 
remaining portion of the tax credit carryforwards is related to federal tax credits of $80.3 million, international 
tax credits of $105.3 million, and state tax credits of $117.4 million, all of which are substantially reserved. 

At December 31, 2013, based on filed tax returns we had net operating losses and other carryforwards for 
international and U.S. income tax purposes of $662.5 million: $262.8 million will expire by 2018; 
$356.8 million will expire between 2018 and 2033; and $42.9 million of the carryforwards will never expire. 
Other carryforwards for international and U.S. federal income tax purposes are substantially reserved.  
Deferred tax assets related to state net operating losses of $81.0 million and $9.8 million of other state 
carryforwards are substantially reserved.  

Domestic and Puerto Rican companies contributed approximately 61 percent, 54 percent, and 24 percent for 
the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, to consolidated income before income 
taxes. We have a subsidiary operating in Puerto Rico under a tax incentive grant. The current tax incentive 
grant will not expire prior to 2017.

At December 31, 2013, U.S. income taxes have not been provided on approximately $23.74 billion of 
unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries as we consider these unremitted earnings to be indefinitely 
invested for continued use in our foreign operations. Additional tax provisions will be required if these 
earnings are repatriated in the future to the United States. Due to complexities in the tax laws and 
assumptions that we would have to make, it is not practicable to determine the amount of the related 
unrecognized deferred income tax liability.

Cash payments of income taxes totaled $1.26 billion, $992.0 million, and $942.8 million, for the years ended 
December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which included the reinstatement of the research tax credit for the 
year 2012, was enacted in early 2013.  Therefore, the research tax credits for the years 2012 and 2013 are

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was 
$523.3 million and $928.1 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state, local, and non-U.S. jurisdictions. 
We are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations in most major 
taxing jurisdictions for years before 2007.

During 2011, we settled the U.S. examinations of tax years 2005-2007, along with certain matters related to 
tax years 2008-2009. The examination of the remainder of 2008-2009 commenced in the fourth quarter of 
2011. Considering this current examination cycle, as well as the settlement of 2005-2007 and certain matters 
related to 2008-2009, our consolidated results of operations benefited from a reduction in tax expense of 
$85.3 million in 2011. We made cash payments totaling approximately $300 million for tax years 2005-2007. 

During 2013, we reached resolution on the remaining matters related to tax years 2008–2009 that were not 
settled as part of a previous examination. Considering the impact of this resolution on periods that have not 
yet been examined, as well as its impact on tax asset carryforwards, there was an immaterial benefit to our 
consolidated results of operations. We made cash payments of approximately $135 million related to tax 
years 2008–2009 after application of available tax credit carryforwards and carrybacks. The examination of  
tax years 2010-2012 commenced during the fourth quarter of 2013. Because the examination of tax years 
2010-2012 is still in the early stages, the resolution of matters in this audit period will likely extend beyond the 
next 12 months.

We recognize both accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. 
During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, we recognized income tax expense (benefit) of 
$(10.9) million, $42.3 million, and $(47.3) million, respectively, related to interest and penalties. At 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, our accruals for the payment of interest and penalties totaled $161.5 million 
and $187.5 million, respectively.

We annually evaluate the expected return on plan assets in our defined benefit pension and retiree health 
benefit plans. In evaluating the expected rate of return, we consider many factors, with a primary analysis of 
current and projected market conditions; asset returns and asset allocations; and the views of leading 
financial advisers and economists. We may also review our historical assumptions compared with actual 
results, as well as the assumptions and trend rates utilized by similar plans, where applicable. Health-care-
cost trend rates are assumed to increase at an annual rate of 6.6 percent for the year ended December 31, 
2014, decreasing by approximately 0.3 percent per year to an ultimate rate of 5.0 percent by 2020.

The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid 
as follows:

If the healthcare-cost trend rates were to be increased by one percentage point, the December 31, 2013, 
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation would increase by $169.7 million and the aggregate of the 
service cost and interest cost components of the 2013 annual expense would increase by $9.4 million. A one 
percentage point decrease in these rates would decrease the December 31, 2013, accumulated

We have defined contribution savings plans that cover our eligible employees worldwide. The purpose of 
these plans is generally to provide additional financial security during retirement by providing employees with 
an incentive to save. Our contributions to the plans are based on employee contributions and the level of our 
match. Expenses under the plans totaled $147.7 million, $136.3 million, and $124.8 million for the years 
ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

We provide certain other postemployment benefits primarily related to disability benefits and accrue for the 
related cost over the service lives of employees. Expenses associated with these benefit plans for the years 
ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 were not material.

Benefit Plan Investments

Our benefit plan investment policies are set with specific consideration of return and risk requirements in 
relationship to the respective liabilities. U.S. and Puerto Rico plans represent 80 percent of our global 
investments. Given the long-term nature of our liabilities, these plans have the flexibility to manage an above-
average degree of risk in the asset portfolios. At the investment-policy level, there are no specifically 
prohibited investments. However, within individual investment manager mandates, restrictions and limitations 
are contractually set to align with our investment objectives, ensure risk control, and limit concentrations.

We manage our portfolio to minimize any concentration of risk by allocating funds within asset categories. In 
addition, within a category we use different managers with various management objectives to eliminate any 
significant concentration of risk.

Our global benefit plans may enter into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to implement the local 
investment policy or manage particular portfolio risks. Derivatives are principally used to increase or decrease 
exposure to a particular public equity, fixed income, commodity, or currency market more rapidly or less 
expensively than could be accomplished through the use of the cash markets. The plans utilize both 

64

64

 
exchange-traded and over-the-counter instruments. The maximum exposure to either a market or 
counterparty credit loss is limited to the carrying value of the receivable, and is managed within contractual 
limits. We expect all of our counterparties to meet their obligations. The gross values of these derivative 
receivables and payables are not material to the global asset portfolio, and their values are reflected within 
the tables below.

The defined benefit pension and retiree health benefit plan allocation for the U.S. and Puerto Rico currently 
comprises approximately 80 percent growth investments and 20 percent fixed-income investments. The 
growth investment allocation encompasses U.S. and international public equity securities, hedge funds, 
private equity-like investments, and real estate. These portfolio allocations are intended to reduce overall risk 
by providing diversification, while seeking moderate to high returns over the long term.

Public equity securities are well diversified and invested in U.S. and international small-to-large companies 
across various asset managers and styles. The remaining portion of the growth portfolio is invested in private 
alternative investments.

Fixed-income investments primarily consist of fixed-income securities in U.S. treasuries and agencies, 
emerging market debt obligations, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-
backed obligations.

Hedge funds are privately owned institutional investment funds that generally have moderate liquidity. Hedge 
funds seek specified levels of absolute return regardless of overall market conditions, and generally have low 
correlations to public equity and debt markets. Hedge funds often invest substantially in financial market 
instruments (stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, derivatives, etc.) using a very broad range of trading 
activities to manage portfolio risks. Hedge fund strategies focus primarily on security selection and seek to be 
neutral with respect to market moves. Common groupings of hedge fund strategies include relative value, 
tactical, and event driven. Relative value strategies include arbitrage, when the same asset can 
simultaneously be bought and sold at different prices, achieving an immediate profit. Tactical strategies often 
take long and short positions to reduce or eliminate overall market risks while seeking a particular investment 
opportunity. Event strategy opportunities can evolve from specific company announcements such as mergers 
and acquisitions, and typically have little correlation to overall market directional movements. Our hedge fund 
investments are made through limited partnership interests primarily in fund-of-funds structures to ensure 
diversification across many strategies and many individual managers. Plan holdings in hedge funds are 
valued based on net asset values (NAVs) calculated by each fund or general partner, as applicable, and we 
have the ability to redeem these investments at NAV.

Private equity-like investment funds typically have low liquidity and are made through long-term partnerships 
or joint ventures that invest in pools of capital invested in primarily non-publicly traded entities. Underlying 
investments include venture capital (early stage investing), buyout, and special situation investing. Private 
equity management firms typically acquire and then reorganize private companies to create increased long 
term value. Private equity-like funds usually have a limited life of approximately 10-15 years, and require a 
minimum investment commitment from their limited partners. Our private investments are made both directly 
into funds and through fund-of-funds structures to ensure broad diversification of management styles and 
assets across the portfolio. Plan holdings in private equity-like investments are valued using the value 
reported by the partnership, adjusted for known cash flows and significant events through our reporting date. 
Values provided by the partnerships are primarily based on analysis of and judgments about the underlying 
investments. Inputs to these valuations include underlying NAVs, discounted cash flow valuations, 
comparable market valuations, and may also include adjustments for currency, credit, liquidity and other risks 
as applicable. The vast majority of these private partnerships provide us with annual audited financial 
statements including their compliance with fair valuation procedures consistent with applicable accounting 
standards.

Real estate is composed of both public and private holdings. Real estate investments in registered investment 
companies that trade on an exchange are classified as Level 1 on the fair value hierarchy. Real estate 
investments in funds measured at fair value on the basis of NAV provided by the fund manager are classified 
as Level 3. These NAVs are developed with inputs including discounted cash flow, independent appraisal, 
and market comparable analyses.

Other assets include cash and cash equivalents and mark-to-market value of derivatives.

The cash value of the trust-owned insurance contract is invested in investment-grade publicly traded equity 
and fixed-income securities.

Other than hedge funds, private equity-like investments, and real estate, which are discussed above, we 
determine fair values based on a market approach using quoted market values, significant other observable 
inputs for identical or comparable assets or liabilities, or discounted cash flow analyses.

The fair values of our defined benefit pension plan and retiree health plan assets as of December 31, 2013 by

Contributions to our global defined benefit pension and post-retirement health benefit plans to satisfy 
minimum funding requirements as well as additional discretionary funding in the aggregate are not expected 
to be material during 2014.

Note 16: Contingencies 

We are a party to various legal actions and government investigations. The most significant of these are 
described below. It is not possible to determine the outcome of these matters, and we cannot reasonably 
estimate the maximum potential exposure or the range of possible loss in excess of amounts accrued for any 
of these matters; however, we believe that, except as specifically noted below with respect to the Alimta® 
patent litigation and administrative proceedings, the resolution of all such matters will not have a material 
adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or liquidity, but could possibly be material to our 
consolidated results of operations in any one accounting period.

Alimta Patent Litigation and Administrative Proceedings

We are engaged in various U.S. patent litigation matters involving Alimta brought pursuant to procedures set 
out in the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the Hatch-Waxman Act). Teva 
Parenteral Medicines, Inc. (Teva); APP Pharmaceuticals, LLC (APP); Barr Laboratories, Inc. (Barr); Pliva 
Hrvatska D.O.O. (Pliva); Accord Healthcare Inc. (Accord); and Apotex Inc. (Apotex) each submitted 
Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) seeking approval to market generic versions of Alimta prior to 
the expiration of our vitamin dosage regimen patent (expiring in 2021 plus pediatric exclusivity expiring in 
2022) and alleging the patent is invalid. 

In October 2010, we filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana against Teva, 
APP, Pliva, and Barr seeking rulings that the patent is valid and infringed. Trial in this case occurred in August 
2013, and we are awaiting a decision. In January 2012 and April 2012, we filed similar lawsuits in the same 
court against Accord and Apotex, respectively. We filed a second lawsuit against Accord in February 2013. In 
September 2013, we filed a similar lawsuit in the same court against Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. and 
Sun Pharma Global seeking a ruling that Lilly's patent is valid and infringed. In January 2014, we filed a 

6969

similar lawsuit in the same court against Glenmark Generics Inc., USA, seeking a ruling that Lilly’s patent is 
valid and infringed. The Accord and Apotex cases have been consolidated and stayed by the court and the 
parties have agreed to be bound by the outcome of the Teva/APP litigation. In June 2013, Accord filed a 
petition requesting review of the patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which was denied in 
October 2013. This denial is final and cannot be appealed. 

Generic manufacturers have filed an opposition to the European Patent Office's decision to grant a vitamin 
dosage regimen patent. The Opposition Division upheld the patent and the generic manufacturers have 
lodged an appeal. In addition, in the UK, Actavis Group ehf and other Actavis companies have filed litigation 
asking for a declaratory judgment that commercialization of certain salt forms of pemetrexed (the active 
ingredient in Alimta) would not infringe the vitamin dosage regimen patents in the UK, Italy, France, Germany, 
and Spain. This case is scheduled to be heard by the trial court in April 2014. We have commenced separate 
infringement proceedings against certain Actavis companies in Germany. The German case is scheduled to 
be heard by the trial court in March 2014.

We believe our Alimta vitamin dosage patents are valid and enforceable against these generic manufacturers 
and we expect to prevail in these proceedings. However, it is not possible to determine the outcome of the 
proceedings, and accordingly, we can provide no assurance that we will prevail. An unfavorable outcome 
could have a material adverse impact on our future consolidated results of operations, liquidity, and financial 
position. We expect a loss of exclusivity for Alimta would result in a rapid and severe decline in future 
revenues in the relevant market.

Byetta Product Liability Litigation

We have been named as a defendant in approximately 275 Byetta product liability lawsuits involving 
approximately 700 plaintiffs. Approximately 95 of these lawsuits, covering about 510 plaintiffs, are filed in 
California and coordinated in a Los Angeles Superior Court. Approximately 190 of these lawsuits, involving 
approximately 265 plaintiffs, contain allegations that Byetta caused or contributed to the plaintiffs' cancer 
(primarily pancreatic cancer or thyroid cancer). We are aware of approximately 460 additional claimants who 
have not yet filed suit. The majority of these additional claims allege damages for pancreatitis. We believe 
these lawsuits and claims are without merit and are prepared to defend against them vigorously. 

Prozac® Product Liability Litigation

We have been named as a defendant in approximately 10 U.S. lawsuits primarily related to allegations that 
the antidepressant Prozac caused or contributed to birth defects in the children of women who ingested the 
drug during pregnancy. We are aware of approximately 370 additional claims related to birth defects, which 
have not yet been filed. We believe these lawsuits and claims are without merit and are prepared to defend 
against them vigorously.

Brazil–Employee Litigation

We have been named in a lawsuit brought by the Labor Attorney for 15th Region in the Labor Court of 
Paulinia, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, alleging possible harm to employees and former employees caused by 
exposure to heavy metals at a former Lilly manufacturing facility in Cosmopolis, Brazil. Final arguments were 
submitted in September and we are awaiting a decision. We have also been named in approximately 30 
lawsuits filed in the same court by individual former employees making similar claims. We believe these 
lawsuits are without merit and are prepared to defend against them vigorously.

Product Liability Insurance

Because of the nature of pharmaceutical products, it is possible that we could become subject to large 
numbers of product liability and related claims in the future. Due to a very restrictive market for product liability 
insurance, we are self-insured for product liability losses for all our currently marketed products.

The tax effect on the unrealized net gains (losses) on securities was an expense of $71.6 million in 2013, an 
expense of $30.8 million in 2012, and a benefit of $64.4 million in 2011. The tax effect related to our defined 
benefit pension and retiree health benefit plans (Note 15) was an expense of $886.1 million in 2013, an 
expense of $34.4 million in 2012, and a benefit of $383.8 million in 2011. The tax effect on the effective 
portion of cash flow hedges was a benefit of $43.2 million  for the year ended December 31, 2013, and was 
not significant for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Income taxes were not provided for foreign 
currency translation. 

Generally, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current 
exchange rate. For those operations, changes in exchange rates generally do not affect cash flows; therefore, 
resulting translation adjustments are made in shareholders' equity rather than in income.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, other–net, (income) expense primarily consists of income 
associated with the termination of the exenatide collaboration with Amylin, including income recognized from 
the transfer to Amylin of exenatide commercial rights in all markets outside the U.S. in 2013 and income 
recognized from the early payment of the exenatide revenue-sharing obligation by Amylin in 2012. See Note 4 
for additional information. For the year ended December 31, 2011, other–net, (income) expense primarily 
consists of the impairment on acquired IPR&D assets related to liprotamase and Amyvid (Note 8) partially 
offset by gains on the disposal of investment securities.

Note 19:    Segment Information

We operate in two business segments—human pharmaceutical products and animal health. Our business 
segments are distinguished by the ultimate end user of the product—humans or animals. Performance is 
evaluated based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes. The accounting policies of the 
individual segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in 
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

Our human pharmaceutical products segment includes the discovery, development, manufacturing, 
marketing, and sales of human pharmaceutical products worldwide in the following therapeutic areas: 
endocrinology, neuroscience, oncology, cardiovascular, and other. Our endocrinology products consist 
primarily of Humalog®, Humulin®, Forteo®, Evista®, Humatrope®, Trajenta, and Axiron®. Neuroscience 
products include Cymbalta®, Zyprexa®, Strattera®, and Prozac. Cymbalta, which had U.S. sales of $3.96 
billion in 2013, lost patent exclusivity in the U.S. in December 2013, resulting in the immediate entry of several 
generic competitors. Oncology products consist primarily of Alimta, Erbitux, and Gemzar®. Cardiovascular 
products consist primarily of Cialis®, Effient, and ReoPro®. The other pharmaceuticals category includes anti-
infectives, primarily Vancocin® and Ceclor™, and other miscellaneous pharmaceutical products and services. 

Our animal health segment, operating through our Elanco animal health division, includes the development, 
manufacturing, marketing, and sales of animal health products worldwide for both food and companion 
animals. Animal health products include Rumensin®, Posilac®, Tylan®, Paylean®, Optaflexx® and other 
products for livestock and poultry, as well as Trifexis®, Comfortis®, and other products for companion animals.

Most of our pharmaceutical products are distributed through wholesalers that serve pharmacies, physicians 
and other health care professionals, and hospitals. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, 
our three largest wholesalers each accounted for between 10 percent and 19 percent of consolidated total 
revenue. Further, they each accounted for between 9 percent and 18 percent of accounts receivable as of 
December 31, 2013 and 2012. Animal health products are sold primarily to wholesale distributors.

We manage our assets on a total company basis, not by operating segment, as the assets of the animal 
health business are largely intermixed with those of the pharmaceutical products business. Therefore, our 
chief operating decision maker does not review any asset information by operating segment and, accordingly, 
we do not report asset information by operating segment.

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

Management’s Reports
Management’s Report for Financial Statements—Eli Lilly and Company and Subsidiaries

Management of Eli Lilly and Company and subsidiaries is responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and fair 
presentation of the financial statements. The statements have been prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles in the United States and include amounts based on judgments and estimates 
by management. In management’s opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly our financial 
position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In addition to the system of internal accounting controls, we maintain a code of conduct (known as "The Red 
Book") that applies to all employees worldwide, requiring proper overall business conduct, avoidance of 
conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, and confidentiality of proprietary information. All employees must 
take training annually on The Red Book and are required to report suspected violations. A hotline number is 
published in The Red Book to enable employees to report suspected violations anonymously. Employees who 
report suspected violations are protected from discrimination or retaliation by the company. In addition to The 
Red Book, the CEO and all financial management must sign a financial code of ethics, which further 
reinforces their fiduciary responsibilities.

The consolidated financial statements have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered 
public accounting firm. Their responsibility is to examine our consolidated financial statements in accordance 
with generally accepted auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United States). Ernst & Young’s opinion with respect to the fairness of the presentation of the statements is 
included in Item 8 of our annual report on Form 10-K. Ernst & Young reports directly to the audit committee of 
the board of directors.

Our audit committee includes five nonemployee members of the board of directors, all of whom are 
independent from our company. The committee charter, which is available on our website, outlines the 
members’ roles and responsibilities and is consistent with enacted corporate reform laws and regulations. It is 
the audit committee’s responsibility to appoint an independent registered public accounting firm subject to 
shareholder ratification, approve both audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered 
public accounting firm, and review the reports submitted by the firm. The audit committee meets several times 
during the year with management, the internal auditors, and the independent public accounting firm to discuss 
audit activities, internal controls, and financial reporting matters, including reviews of our externally published 
financial results. The internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm have full and free 
access to the committee.

We are dedicated to ensuring that we maintain the high standards of financial accounting and reporting that 
we have established. We are committed to providing financial information that is transparent, timely, complete, 
relevant, and accurate. Our culture demands integrity and an unyielding commitment to strong internal 
practices and policies. Finally, we have the highest confidence in our financial reporting, our underlying 
system of internal controls, and our people, who are objective in their responsibilities and operate under a 
code of conduct and the highest level of ethical standards.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting—Eli Lilly and Company and 
Subsidiaries

Management of Eli Lilly and Company and subsidiaries is responsible for establishing and maintaining 
adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have global financial policies that govern critical areas, including 
internal controls, financial accounting and reporting, fiduciary accountability, and safeguarding of corporate 
assets. Our internal accounting control systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets 
are safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and are 
properly recorded, and that accounting records are adequate for preparation of financial statements and other 
financial information. A staff of internal auditors regularly monitors, on a worldwide basis, the adequacy and 
effectiveness of internal accounting controls. The general auditor reports directly to the audit committee of the 
board of directors.

76

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the 
framework in "Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992)" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under this framework, we concluded 
that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013. However, because of 
its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may 
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or 
procedures may deteriorate.

The internal control over financial reporting has been assessed by Ernst & Young LLP as of December 31, 
2013. Their responsibility is to evaluate whether internal control over financial reporting was designed and 
operating effectively.

What Is New In This Year's Proxy

Below is a summary of changes to our compensation disclosures since our proxy filing last year, based on 
dialogue with shareholders:

1.  We redesigned our proxy statement to make it easier for our shareholders and other stakeholders to 

understand our compensation programs and to highlight important information about our corporate 
governance and other company practices.

2.  We expanded our compensation recovery policy to cover all executives and to encompass a broader 

range of executive misconduct.  

3.  We reassessed our peer group in 2012 and expanded it to include six smaller biopharmaceutical and 
medical device companies: Allergan, Inc.; Biogen IDEC Inc., Celgene Corporation, Covidien PLC, 
Gilead Sciences, Inc., and Medtronic, Inc.  We selected a revised peer group that would place Lilly in 
the middle of the group in terms of revenue.

2013 Business Performance Highlights

2013 falls in the middle of what we call the "YZ" period, during which we lose patent protection for a number 
of important products, including Zyprexa in the U.S. and Europe in late 2011, Cymbalta in the U.S. in 
December 2013, and Evista in the U.S. in March 2014.  Despite these challenges, we delivered on our 
financial commitments for 2013, with revenue increasing 2 percent to $23.1 billion, non-GAAP net income 
increasing 19 percent to $4.5 billion, and non-GAAP earnings per share increasing 22 percent to $4.15.  Total 
operating expenses decreased 1 percent, even as we continued to advance the company's pipeline.  
Reported net income for 2013 increased 15 percent to $4.68 billion, and reported earnings per share 
increased 18 percent to $4.32.  (See Appendix A for a more detailed summary of adjustments to EPS.)  
Further information on our financial performance during 2013 is available in our 2013 Form 10-K and fourth-
quarter earnings release available on our website at http://investor.lilly.com/financials.cfm.   

We also made significant progress in delivering on the pipeline, with regulatory submissions for four products 
– empagliflozin, dulaglutide, new insulin glargine, and ramucirumab – along with five other new indication or 
line extension ("NILEX") approvals during 2013.  In addition to these submissions, as of March 1, 2014, we 
also had 12 molecules in Phase III or submission stage and 25 more in Phase II.

Executive Compensation Summary for 2013

Under the leadership of our chairman and chief executive officer (CEO), Dr. John Lechleiter, during the past 
five years the company has made significant strides in advancing the pipeline, as illustrated by the figures 
below:

Prior to 2013, Dr. Lechleiter had not received an increase in target compensation since 2009. For 2013, the 
Compensation Committee decided to increase Dr. Lechleiter's target equity compensation based on the 
following factors:

•  Dr. Lechleiter's continued strong performance in leading the company during a difficult period of 

patent expirations to achieve solid financial results, reduce its cost structure, and progress the 
pipeline

•  The company's strong 2012 financial performance compared to goals; and
•  Peer group CEO pay trends as well as internal pay relativity compared to his direct reports

In keeping with the company's desire to maintain the substantial majority of the CEO's pay long-term focused 
and linked to company performance and shareholder value, the Compensation Committee only increased 
Dr. Lechleiter's target equity compensation. Dr. Lechleiter's base salary and annual bonus targets remained 
unchanged.

The named executive officers each received base salary increases of between 2 and 3 percent, excluding 
Mr. Harrington, who was promoted to Senior Vice President and General Counsel on January 1, 2013. These 
increases were consistent with those granted to other U.S. employees who were eligible for salary increases. 
The total compensation paid to the company's named executive officers in 2012 remained in the middle range 
of the updated peer group.  As a result, the committee made no changes to target equity compensation for the 
other named executive officers for 2013, except for Mr. Harrington, as noted above.

Further information on executive compensation for 2013 can be found in the "Compensation Discussion and 
Analysis" and "Executive Compensation" sections below.

Our Executive Compensation Programs Reflect Best Practices
Strong shareholder support of compensation practices: in 2013, 97 percent of shares cast voted
in favor of our executive compensation
Compensation programs are designed to align with shareholder interests and link pay to
performance through a blend of short- and long-term performance measures
The Compensation Committee annually reviews compensation programs to ensure appropriate
risk mitigation
No "top hat" retirement plans - supplemental plans are open to all employees and are limited to
restoring benefits lost due to IRS limits on qualified plans
Broad compensation recovery policy that applies to all executives and covers a wide range of
misconduct
Executives and senior management are prohibited from engaging in hedging transactions with
company stock or pledging their company stock
Executives are subject to strong stock ownership guidelines

No tax gross-ups provided to executives (except for limited gross-ups related to international
assignments)
Very limited perquisites; CEO did not use the corporate aircraft for personal use at any time
during 2013.  Other named executive officers (NEOs) are not permitted to use the corporate
aircraft for personal use
Severance plans related to change-in-control generally require double trigger

No employment agreements with executive officers

Director Qualifications and Nomination Process

Director Qualifications
Experience: The Board seeks independent directors who represent a mix of experiences that will enhance 
the quality of the Board's deliberations and decisions. The Board is particularly focused on maintaining a mix 
of individuals with CEO, international business, medical/science, government/policy or other health care 
experience.

Diversity: The Board considers diversity as an important factor in selecting potential Board candidates but 
does not have a stand-alone diversity policy. The Board strives to achieve diversity in the broadest sense, 
including persons diverse in geography, gender, ethnicity, and experiences.  Although the Board does not 
establish specific diversity goals, the Board's overall diversity is a significant consideration in the director 
selection and nomination process.  The Directors and Corporate Governance Committee assesses the 
effectiveness of board diversity efforts in connection with the annual nomination process as well as in new 
director searches.  The company's current Board includes members whose experiences cover a wide range 
of geographies and industries, and includes members with experience in academic research, healthcare, and 
governmental consulting.  The company's directors range in age from 42 to 72, and include four women and 
three ethnically diverse members.

Character: Board members should possess the personal attributes necessary to be an effective director, 
including unquestioned integrity, sound judgment, independence, a collaborative spirit, and commitment to the 
company, our shareholders, and other constituencies.

Director Nomination Process
The Board delegates the director screening process to the Directors and Corporate Governance Committee, 
which receives input from other Board members.

Potential directors are identified from several sources, including incumbent directors, management, 
shareholders, and executive search firms. The committee employs the same process for evaluating all 
shareholder candidates, including those submitted by shareholders.

The committee employs the same process for evaluating all candidates, including those submitted by 
shareholders. The committee initially evaluates a candidate based on publicly available information and any 
additional information supplied by the party recommending the candidate. If the candidate appears to satisfy 
the selection criteria and the committee’s initial evaluation is favorable, the committee, assisted by 
management or the search firm, gathers additional data on the candidate’s qualifications, availability, probable 
level of interest, and any potential conflicts of interest. If the committee’s subsequent evaluation continues to 
be favorable, the candidate is contacted by the Chairman of the Board and one or more of the independent 
directors for direct discussions to determine the mutual levels of interest in pursuing the candidacy. If these 
discussions are favorable, the committee makes a final recommendation to the board to nominate the 
candidate for election by the shareholders (or to select the candidate to fill a vacancy, as applicable).

Shareholder Recommendations and Nominations for Director Candidates
A shareholder who wishes to recommend a director candidate for evaluation should forward the candidates 
name and information about the candidate's qualifications to:

Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee
c/o Corporate Secretary
Lilly Corporate Center
Indianapolis, IN 46285

The candidate must meet the selection criteria described above and must be willing and expressly interested 
in serving on the Board.

Under Section 1.9 of the company’s bylaws, a shareholder who wishes to directly nominate a director 
candidate at the 2015 annual meeting (i.e., to propose a candidate for election who is not otherwise 

1313

nominated by the Board through the recommendation process described above) must give the company 
written notice by November 24, 2014 and no earlier than September 21, 2014. The notice should be 
addressed to the corporate secretary at the address provided above. The notice must contain prescribed 
information about the candidate and about the shareholder proposing the candidate as described in more 
detail in Section 1.9 of the bylaws. A copy of the bylaws is available online at http://investor.lilly.com/
governance.cfm. The bylaws will also be provided by mail upon request to the corporate secretary. 

We have not received any shareholder nominations for board candidates for the 2014 meeting.

Communication with the Board of Directors

You may send written communications to one or more members of the Board, addressed to:

Board of Directors
Eli Lilly and Company
c/o Corporate Secretary
Lilly Corporate Center
Indianapolis, IN 46285

Director Compensation  

Director compensation is reviewed and approved annually by the Board, on the recommendation of the 
Directors and Corporate Governance Committee. Directors who are employees receive no additional 
compensation for serving on the Board. 

Cash Compensation
In 2013, the company provided nonemployee directors with an annual retainer of $100,000 (payable in 
monthly installments). In addition, certain Board roles receive additional annual retainers: 

Lead director: $30,000

Committee chairs: $12,000 ($18,000 for Audit Committee chair; $15,000 for Science and Technology 
Committee chair) 

Audit Committee/Science and Technology Committee members: $3,000 

Directors are reimbursed for customary and usual travel expenses. Directors may also receive additional cash 
compensation for serving on ad hoc committees that may be assembled from time-to-time.

Stock Compensation 
Directors should hold meaningful equity ownership positions in the company; accordingly, a significant portion 
of director compensation is in the form of Lilly stock. Directors are required to hold Lilly stock, directly or 
through company plans, valued at not less than five times their annual cash retainer; new directors are 
allowed five years to reach this ownership level. 

Nonemployee directors receive $145,000 of stock compensation, deposited annually in a deferred stock 
account in the Lilly Directors’ Deferral Plan (as described below), payable after service on the Board has 
ended. 

Lilly Directors’ Deferral Plan: allows nonemployee directors to defer receipt of all or part of their cash 
compensation until after their service on the Board has ended. Each director can choose to invest the funds in 
one or both of the following two accounts: 

14

14

Deferred Stock Account. This account allows the director, in effect, to invest his or her deferred cash 
compensation in company stock. In addition, the annual award of shares to each director as noted below is 
credited to this account on a pre-set annual date. The number of shares credited is calculated by dividing the 
$145,000 annual compensation figure by the closing stock price on that date. Funds in this account are 
credited as hypothetical shares of company stock based on the market price of the stock at the time the 
compensation would otherwise have been earned. Hypothetical dividends are “reinvested” in additional 
shares based on the market price of the stock on the date dividends are paid. Actual shares are issued or 
transferred after the director ends his or her service on the Board. 

Deferred Compensation Account. Funds in this account earn interest each year at a rate of 120 percent of 
the applicable federal long-term rate, compounded monthly, as established the preceding December by the 
U.S. Treasury Department under Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the 
Internal Revenue Code). The aggregate amount of interest that accrued in 2013 for the participating directors 
was $130,990, at a rate of 2.85 percent. The rate for 2014 is 3.92 percent. 

Both accounts may be paid in a lump sum or in annual installments for up to 10 years, beginning the second 
January following the director’s departure from board service. Amounts in the deferred stock account are paid 
in shares of company stock.

1 Each nonemployee director received an award of stock valued at $145,000 (approximately 2,841 shares), 
except Dr. Runge and Mr. Tai, who received shares proportionately for a partial year of service. This stock 
award and all prior stock awards are fully vested in that they are not subject to forfeiture; however, the 
shares are not issued until the director ends his or her service on the Board, as described above under “Lilly 
Directors’ Deferral Plan.” The column shows the grant date fair value for each director’s stock award. 
Aggregate outstanding stock awards are shown in the “Common Stock Ownership by Directors and

2 This column consists of amounts donated by the Eli Lilly and Company Foundation, Inc. ("Foundation") 
under its matching gift program, which is generally available to U.S. employees as well as the outside 
directors. Under this program, the Foundation matched 100 percent of charitable donations over $25 made 
to eligible charities, up to a maximum of $30,000 per year for each individual. The Foundation matched 
these donations via payments made directly to the recipient charity. 

3 Directors do not participate in a company pension plan or non-equity incentive plan.

4 For Sir Winfried Bischoff, this column includes $10,196 for expenses for his spouse to travel to and

Director Independence  

The Board annually determines the independence of directors based on a review by the Directors and 
Corporate Governance Committee. No director is considered independent unless the Board has determined 
that he or she has no material relationship with the company, either directly or as a partner, significant 
shareholder, or officer of an organization that has a material relationship with the company. Material 
relationships can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable, and familial 
relationships, among others. To evaluate the materiality of any such relationship, the Board has adopted 
categorical independence standards consistent with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) listing standards, 
except that the “look-back period” for determining whether a director’s prior relationship(s) with the company 
impairs independence is extended from three to four years. 

The company's process for determining director independence is set forth in our Standards for Director 
Independence which can be found on our website at http://www.lilly.com/about/corporate-governance/Pages/
guidelines.aspx along with our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

On the recommendation of the Directors and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board determined that 
all 15 nonemployee directors are independent, and that the members of each committee also meet the 
independence standards referenced above. The Board determined that none of the 15 nonemployee directors 
has had during the last four years (i) any of the relationships referenced above or (ii) any other material 
relationship with the company that would compromise his or her independence. The table below includes a 
description of categories or types of transactions, relationships, or arrangements the Board considered in 
reaching its determinations.

All of the transactions described above were entered into at arm’s length in the normal course of business 
and, to the extent they are commercial relationships, have standard commercial terms.  Aggregate payments 
to each of the relevant organizations, in each of the last four fiscal years, did not exceed the greater of $1 
million or 2 percent of that organization's consolidated gross revenues in a single fiscal year for the relevant 
four-year period.  No director had any direct business relationships with the company or received any direct 
personal benefit from any of these transactions, relationships, or arrangements.

Committees of the Board of Directors 

The duties and membership of the six board-appointed committees are described below.  All committee 
members are independent as defined in the NYSE listing requirements, and the members of the Audit and 
Compensation Committees each meet the additional independence requirements applicable to them as 
members of those committees.

Committee membership and selection of committee chairs are recommended to the Board by the Directors 
and Corporate Governance Committee after consulting the chairman of the Board and after considering the 
backgrounds, skills, and desires of the Board members. The Board has no set policy for rotation of committee 
members or chairs but annually reviews committee memberships and chair positions, seeking the best blend 
of continuity and fresh perspectives. 

Each committee reviews and approves its own charter annually, and the Directors and Corporate Governance 
Committee reviews and approves all committee charters annually. The chair of each committee determines 
the frequency and agenda of committee meetings. The Audit, Compensation, and Public Policy and 
Compliance Committees meet alone in executive session on a regular basis; all other committees meet in 
executive session as needed. 

All six committee charters are available online at http://investor.lilly.com/governance.cfm, or upon request to 
the company's corporate secretary.

Audit Committee

Assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by monitoring:

1717

•  The integrity of financial information which will be provided to the shareholders and others;
•  The systems of internal controls and disclosure controls which management has established;
•  The performance of internal and independent audit functions; and
•  The company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Eskew, Mr. Oberhelman, and Mr. Tai are Audit Committee 
financial experts, as defined in the SEC rules.

Compensation Committee

•  Establishes the compensation of our chief executive officer and other executive officers; and
•  Acts as the oversight committee with respect to the company’s deferred compensation plans, 

management stock plans, and other management incentive compensation programs. 

The committee delegates authority to the appropriate company management for day-to-day plan 
administration and interpretation, including selecting participants, determining award levels within plan 
parameters, and approving award documents. However, the committee may not delegate any authority for 
matters affecting the executive officers. 

Directors and Corporate Governance Committee

lead director; and

•  Oversees matters of corporate governance, including Board performance, director independence and

The Board takes an active role in overseeing the company's compliance and enterprise risk management 
programs to ensure the company operates with the highest level of integrity and that the company is 
appropriately managing both current and potential future areas of risk.

Code of Ethics

The board approves the company's code of ethics, which is set out in:

The Red Book: a comprehensive code of ethical and legal business conduct applicable to all employees 
worldwide and to our Board of Directors. The Red Book is reviewed and approved annually by the Board.

Code of Ethical Conduct for Lilly Financial Management: a supplemental code for our CEO and all 
members of financial management, in recognition of their unique responsibilities to ensure proper accounting, 
financial reporting, internal controls, and financial stewardship.

Both documents are available online at: http://www.lilly.com/about/business-practices/ethics-compliance, or 
upon request to the company's corporate secretary.

Compliance and Risk Management

The Board, in concert with the Audit and Public Policy and Compliance Committees, oversee the processes 
by which the company conducts its business to ensure the company operates in a manner that complies with 
laws and regulations and reflects the highest standards of integrity.  

The company also has an enterprise risk management program overseen by its chief ethics and compliance 
officer and senior vice president of enterprise risk management, who reports directly to the CEO. Enterprise 
risks are identified and prioritized by management, and the top priorities are assigned to a Board committee 
or full Board for oversight.  

Company management is charged with managing risk through robust internal processes and controls. The 
enterprise risk management program as a whole is reviewed annually at a joint meeting of the Audit and 
Public Policy and Compliance Committees, and enterprise risks are also addressed in periodic business unit 
reviews and at the annual board and senior management strategy session.

Highlights of the Company’s Corporate Governance 

The company is committed to good corporate governance, which promotes the long-term interest of 
shareholders and other company stakeholders, builds confidence in our company leadership, and strengthens 
accountability for the Board and company management. The board has adopted corporate governance 
guidelines that set forth basic principles of corporate governance by which the company operates. The 
section that follows outlines a few key elements of the guidelines and other governance matters. Investors 
can learn more by reviewing the full corporate governance guidelines document, which is available online at 
http://investor.lilly.com/governance.cfm or upon request to the company’s corporate secretary. 

Role of the Board

The directors are elected by the shareholders to oversee the actions and results of the company’s 
management. The Board exercises oversight over a broad range of areas, but the Board's key responsibilities 
include: 

•  Providing general oversight of the business;
•  Approving corporate strategy;
•  Approving major management initiatives;
•  Selecting, compensating, evaluating, and, when necessary, replacing the chief executive officer, and 

compensating other senior executives;

•  Ensuring that an effective succession plan is in place for all senior executives;
•  Overseeing the company’s ethics and compliance program and management of significant business 

risks; and

•  Nominating, compensating, and evaluating directors.

Board Composition

Mix of Independent Directors and Officer-Directors 
There should always be a substantial majority (75 percent or more) of independent directors. The CEO should 
be a Board member. 

20

20

Voting for Directors
In an uncontested election, directors are elected by a majority of votes cast. An incumbent nominee who fails 
to receive a majority of the votes cast will tender his or her resignation. The Board, on recommendation of the 
Directors and Corporate Governance Committee, will decide whether to accept the resignation. The company 
will promptly disclose the Board's decision, including, if applicable, the reasons why the Board rejected the 
resignation.

Director Tenure and Retirement Policy
The company has in place policies for director tenure and retirement, which include the limitation that non-
employee directors must retire no later than the date of the annual meeting that follows their seventy-second 
birthday.  The Directors and Corporate Governance Committee, with input from all Board members, also 
considers the contributions of the individual directors at least every three years when considering whether to 
nominate the director to a new three-year term.

Other Board Service
No director may serve on more than three other public company boards.  The Directors and Corporate 
Governance Committee may approve exceptions if it determines that the additional service will not impair the 
director's effectiveness on the Lilly Board. 

Leadership Structure; Oversight of Chairman, CEO, and Senior 
Management

Leadership Structure
The Board currently believes that combining the role of chairman of the board and the CEO, coupled with a 
strong lead director position, is the most efficient and effective leadership model for the company, fostering 
clear accountability, effective decision-making, and alignment on corporate strategy. The Board periodically 
reviews its leadership structure and developments in the area of corporate governance in order to ensure that 
the company's approach continues to strike the appropriate balance for the company and our stakeholders.

Board Independence
The Board has put in place a number of governance practices to ensure effective independent oversight, 
including: 

•  Executive sessions of the independent directors: held after every regular board meeting.

•  Annual performance evaluation of the chairman and CEO: conducted by the independent 
directors, the results of which are reviewed with the chief executive officer and considered by 
Compensation Committee in establishing the CEO’s compensation for the next year.

•  A strong, independent, clearly defined lead director: The lead director's responsibilities include:

Leading the Board’s processes for selecting and evaluating the CEO;
Presiding at all meetings of the Board at which the chairman is not present;
Serving as a liaison between the chairman and the independent directors; 
If requested by major shareholders, ensures that she is available for consultation and direct 
communication;
Approving meeting agendas and schedules and generally approving information sent to the Board;
Conducting executive sessions of the independent directors; and
Overseeing the independent directors' annual performance evaluation of the chairman and CEO.

The lead director also has authority to call meetings of the independent directors and to retain 
advisers for the independent directors.

The lead director is appointed annually by the Board. Currently Ms. Marram is the lead director.

•  Director access to management and independent advisors: Independent directors have direct 

2121

access to members of management whenever they deem it necessary; and the company's executive 
officers attend at least part of each regularly scheduled Board meeting. The independent directors and all 
committees are also free to retain their own independent advisors, at company expense, whenever they 
feel it would be desirable to do so. 

CEO Succession Planning
The lead director, Board and CEO maintain and annually review the company's succession plans for the CEO 
and other key senior leadership positions. During these reviews, the CEO and independent directors discuss 
future candidates for the CEO and other senior leadership positions, succession timing, and development 
plans for the highest-potential candidates. The company ensures that the directors have multiple opportunities 
to interact with the company's top leadership talent in both formal and informal settings in order to allow them 
to most effectively assess the candidates' qualifications and capabilities.

The CEO maintains in place at all times, and reviews with the independent directors, a confidential plan for 
the timely and efficient transfer of his responsibilities in the event of an emergency or his sudden departure, 
incapacitation, or death.

Board Education and Annual Performance Assessment

The company engages in a comprehensive orientation process for incoming new directors. Directors also 
receive ongoing continuing educational sessions on areas of particular relevance or import to our company 
and we hold periodic mandatory training sessions for the Audit Committee.

Additionally, the Directors and Corporate Governance Committee conducts an annual assessment of the 
Board's performance, Board committee performance, and all Board processes based on input from all 
directors.

Prior Management Proposals to Eliminate Classified Board and 
Supermajority Voting Requirements

Between 2006 - 2012, each year we submitted management proposals to eliminate the company's classified 
board structure. The proposals did not pass because they failed to receive a “supermajority vote” of 80 
percent of the outstanding shares, as required in the company's articles of incorporation. In addition, in 2010, 
2011, 2012, we submitted management proposals to eliminate the supermajority voting requirements 
themselves. Those proposals also fell short of the required 80 percent vote.   

Prior to 2012, these proposals received support ranging from 72 to 77 percent of the outstanding shares. In 
2012, the vote was even lower, approximately 63 percent of the outstanding shares, driven in part by a 2012 
NYSE rule revision prohibiting brokers from voting their clients' shares on corporate governance matters 
absent specific instructions from such clients.  We have concluded that the proposals would achieve a similar 
result in 2014 and therefore we are not resubmitting them.  We will continue to monitor this situation and 
engage in dialogue with our shareholders on these and other governance topics to ensure that Lilly continues 
to demonstrate strong corporate governance and accountability to shareholders.

Conflicts of Interest and Transactions with Related Persons

Conflicts of Interest 
Directors must disclose to the company all relationships that create a conflict or an appearance of a conflict. 
The Board, after consultation with counsel, takes appropriate steps to identify actual or apparent conflicts and 
ensure that all directors voting on an issue are disinterested. A director may be excused from discussions on 
the issue, as appropriate. 

Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Persons 
The board has adopted a policy and procedures for review, approval, and monitoring of transactions involving 

22

22

the company and related persons (directors and executive officers, their immediate family members, or 
shareholders of 5 percent or greater of the company’s outstanding stock). The policy covers any related-
person transaction that meets the minimum threshold for disclosure in the proxy statement under the relevant 
SEC rules (generally, transactions involving amounts exceeding $120,000 in which a related person has a 
direct or indirect material interest). 

Policy: Related-person transactions must be approved by the Board or by a committee of the Board 
consisting solely of independent directors, who will approve the transaction only if they determine that it is in 
the best interests of the company. In considering the transaction, the Board or committee will consider all 
relevant factors, including: 

•  The company’s business rationale for entering into the transaction; 
•  The alternatives to entering into a related-person transaction; 
•  Whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those available to third parties, or in the case of 

employment relationships, to employees generally; 

•  The potential for the transaction to lead to an actual or apparent conflict of interest and any 

safeguards imposed to prevent such actual or apparent conflicts; and 

•  The overall fairness of the transaction to the company. 

The Board or relevant committee will periodically monitor the transaction to ensure there are no changed 
circumstances that would render it advisable to amend or terminate the transaction. 

Procedures: 

•  Management or the affected director or executive officer will bring the matter to the attention of the 
chairman, the lead director, the chair of the Directors and Corporate Governance Committee, or the 
secretary. 

•  The chairman and the lead director shall jointly determine (or, if either is involved in the transaction, 
the other shall determine) whether the matter should be considered by the Board or by one of its 
existing committees. 
If a director is involved in the transaction, he or she will be recused from all discussions and decisions 
about the transaction. 

• 

•  The transaction must be approved in advance whenever practicable, and if not practicable, must be 

ratified as promptly as practicable. 

•  The Board or relevant committee will review the transaction annually to determine whether it 

continues to be in the company’s best interests. 

The Directors and Corporate Governance Committee has approved the following employment relationships 
which are considered related-party transactions under the SEC rules. 

Dr. John Bamforth, vice president, chief marketing officer, Lilly Bio-Medicines, is the spouse of Dr. Susan 
Mahony, one of the company's executive officers, and has been employed by the company for over 20 years. 
In 2013, he was paid approximately $381,000 in cash compensation, and he received grants under the 
company’s performance-based equity program valued at approximately $60,000 based upon the fair value 
computed in accordance with stock-based compensation accounting rules (FASB ASC Topic 718). Similarly, 
Mr. Myles O’Neill, senior vice president, global drug products, is the spouse of Dr. Fionnuala Walsh, a Lilly 
executive officer, and has been employed by the company for over 10 years. His cash compensation in 2013 
was approximately $700,000 and his equity grants were valued at approximately $375,000. Both Dr. Bamforth 
and Mr. O’Neill participate in the company’s benefit programs generally available to U.S. employees, and their 
compensation was established in accordance with the company’s compensation practices applicable to 
employees with equivalent qualifications and responsibilities and holding similar positions.

Individual Executive Performance

The Compensation Committee met at the end of 2012 to set potential EO compensation for 2013. The 
committee reviewed both individual and company performance during 2012. A summary of the committee's 
review of the individual EOs is provided below:

Dr. John Lechleiter: In assessing Dr. Lechleiter's performance, the independent directors noted that under         
his leadership in 2012, the company exceeded corporate goals for growth in revenue, EPS, and cash flow, and 
continued to advance the product pipeline, with 11 molecules in late-stage development.

The directors also noted Dr. Lechleiter's strong leadership in establishing and executing the company's strategy 
to manage through the period of patent expirations from 2011-2014 and return to long-term growth following this 
period.  Dr. Lechleiter set a clear tone throughout the organization emphasizing integrity and quality, and 
measures of both employee engagement and customer brand equity showed continued gains. In addition, 
Dr. Lechleiter continued his effective public advocacy on behalf of the company and the biopharmaceutical 
industry, and oversaw smooth transitions of two critical leadership roles in the organization during 2012. 

Dr. Lechleiter had not received an increase in base salary, target bonus, or target equity since 2009. The 
Compensation Committee considered Dr. Lechleiter's performance over the past several years in determining 
whether to increase any components of his potential compensation for 2013. In light of Dr. Lechleiter's excellent 
leadership, the company's consistent progress during a difficult period, the comparison of peers' CEO pay, and 
the compensation of his direct reports, the Compensation Committee recommended that Dr. Lechleiter receive 
an increase in total target compensation. In keeping with the company's desire to maintain the substantial 
majority of the CEO's pay as performance-based equity compensation, the committee decided to increase 
Dr. Lechleiter's target equity compensation by 20 percent but maintained his base salary and target bonus at 
current levels.

Derica Rice: Mr. Rice made strong contributions in leading the company to meet challenging expense targets 
and revenue goals for 2012.  He served as a key facilitator of collaborative work among the business units and 
key functions to set strategy and allocate resources. Mr. Rice also successfully oversaw leadership changes in 
the chief accounting officer and external audit partner roles, and has maintained an excellent external reputation.

Dr. Jan Lundberg: Dr. Lundberg, through his leadership, continued to be a key contributor to strong pipeline 
progress in 2012. Dr. Lundberg has reinvigorated Lilly's scientific culture, improved employee morale and 
engagement within Lilly Research Laboratories ("LRL"), and strengthened LRL's partnership with the business 
unit leaders. 

Michael Harrington: The committee established Mr. Harrington's target compensation when he was promoted to 
Senior Vice President and General Counsel upon the retirement of Robert Armitage at the end of 2012.

Enrique Conterno: Mr. Conterno's leadership was a key factor in the excellent progress with our diabetes 
business and the progression of our diabetes pipeline. During 2012, he oversaw the successful conclusion of the 
Amylin relationship, and has been instrumental in leading the alliance with Boehringer Ingelheim. 

Company Performance 

For 2013, the company met its revenue target with annual revenues of $23.1 billion.  The company exceeded its 
EPS target with earnings of $4.5 billion, resulting in $4.15 of EPS.  The company also made significant progress 
on its pipeline, exceeding most targets for pipeline progress, highlighted by regulatory submissions for four 
products - empagliflozin, dulaglutide, new insulin glargine, and ramucirumab - along with five other new 
approvals or new indication or line extensions ("NILEX") during 2013.  Further information on the company's 
performance during 2013 is provided above in the "Proxy Statement Overview".

2013 Target Total Compensation  

The information in the section below reflects target total compensation for executive officers for 2013.  The actual 
payouts made to the NEOs in the form of the 2013 annual bonus and equity awards that vested in 2013 are 
summarized in the next section, under "2013 Compensation Payouts".

Base Salary
For base salary increases granted to the NEOs in 2013, in addition to the considerations set forth above under 
"Individual Executive Performance," the committee considered the corporate budget for salary increases, which 
was established at 3 percent for 2013.  The aggregate increases for the NEOs and the other executive officers 
were within this budget, and the increased base salaries for the NEOs remained within the broad middle range of 
the peer group.  The chart below reflects the annualized base salary for each NEO:

reflected below (as a percentage of base salary), excluding Mr. Harrington, who was not a NEO in 2012.

between PAs and SVAs appropriately balances company financial performance with shareholder return. Target 
values for the 2013 equity grant to the named executive officers were as follows:

executive officers upon termination of their employment; any such payments are at the discretion of the 
Compensation Committee. 

The company has adopted change-in-control severance pay plans for nearly all employees, including the 
executive officers. The plans are intended to preserve employee morale and productivity and encourage 
retention in the face of the disruptive impact of an actual or rumored change in control. In addition, the plans are 
intended to align executive and shareholder interests by enabling executives to evaluate corporate transactions 
that may be in the best interests of the shareholders and other constituents of the company without undue 
concern over whether the transactions may jeopardize the executives’ own employment.

Highlights of our change-in-control severance plans

All regular employees are covered

Up to two-year pay protection

Double trigger generally required

18-month benefit continuation

No tax gross-ups

Although benefit levels may differ depending on the employee’s job level and seniority, the basic elements of the 
plans are comparable for all eligible employees:

•  Double trigger. Unlike “single trigger” plans that pay out immediately upon a change in control, the plans 
generally require a  “double trigger”—a change in control followed by an involuntary loss of employment 
within two years thereafter. This is consistent with the plan's intent to provide employees with financial 
protection upon loss of employment. A partial exception is made for outstanding PAs, a portion of which 
would be paid out upon a change in control on a pro-rated basis for time worked based on the forecasted 
payout level at the time of the change in control. This partial payment is appropriate because of the 
difficulties in converting the company EPS targets into an award based on the surviving company’s EPS. 
Likewise, if Lilly is not the surviving entity, a portion of outstanding SVAs would be paid out on a pro-rated 
basis for time worked up to the change in control based on the merger price for company stock.

•  Covered terminations. Employees are eligible for payments if, within two years of the change in control, 
their employment is terminated (i) without cause by the company or (ii) for good reason by the employee, 
each as is defined in the plan. See “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” for a more 
detailed discussion, including a discussion of what constitutes a change in control.

•  Employees who suffer a covered termination receive up to two years of pay and 18 months of 

benefits protection. These provisions assure employees a reasonable period of protection of their income 
and core employee benefits.

•  Severance payment. Eligible terminated employees would receive a severance payment ranging 

from six months’ to two years’ base salary. Executives are all eligible for two years’ base salary plus 
two times the then-current year’s target bonus.

•  Benefit continuation. Basic employee benefits such as health and life insurance would be continued 

for 18 months following termination of employment, unless the individual becomes eligible for 
coverage with a new employer. All employees would receive an additional two years of both age and 
years-of-service credit for purposes of determining eligibility for retiree medical and dental benefits.

•  Accelerated vesting of equity awards. Any unvested equity awards vest at the time of termination of 

employment.

•  Excise tax. In some circumstances, the payments or other benefits received by the employee in connection 
with a change in control could exceed limits established under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. 
The employee would then be subject to an excise tax on top of normal federal income tax. The company 
does not reimburse employees for these taxes. However, the amount of change in control-related benefits 
will be reduced to the 280G limit if the effect would be to deliver a greater after-tax benefit than the employee 
would receive with an unreduced benefit.

Share Ownership and Retention Guidelines; Hedging Prohibition and 
Pledging Shares

Share ownership and retention guidelines help to foster a focus on long-term growth. The CEO is required to 
own company stock valued at least six times his or her annual base salary. Other executive officers are required 
to own a fixed number of shares based on their position. Until the required number of shares is reached, the 
executive officer must retain 50 percent of net shares resulting from new equity payouts. Our executives have a 
long history of maintaining extensive holdings in company stock, and all NEOs already meet or exceed the 
guideline (except for Mr. Harrington, who, as a newly named EO, is on track to meet the share requirements 
within the next few years). As of February 21, 2014, Dr. Lechleiter held shares valued at approximately 32 times 
his annual salary. The following table shows the share requirements for each NEO:

No1

1 As a new executive officer, Mr. Harrington is required to retain at least half of all equity payouts until he 
reaches the 55,000 share requirement. 

Executive officers are also required to hold all shares received from equity program payouts, net of acquisition 
costs and taxes, for at least one year, even once share ownership requirements have been met. For PAs, this 
holding requirement is met by the one-year restriction period on the RSUs paid out pursuant to the program. 

Employees are not permitted to hedge their economic exposures to company stock through short sales or 
derivative transactions, and for 2013, executive officers did not hold any pledged shares. Effective in 2014, the 
committee adopted a formal policy prohibiting outside directors and all members of senior management from 
pledging any company stock.

Tax Deductibility Cap on Executive Compensation

U.S. federal income tax law prohibits the company from taking a tax deduction for non-performance based 
compensation paid in excess of $1,000,000 to named executive officers. However, performance-based 
compensation is fully deductible if the programs are approved by shareholders and meet other requirements. 
Our policy is to qualify our incentive compensation programs for full corporate deductibility to the extent feasible 
and consistent with our overall compensation objectives. 

We have taken steps to qualify all incentive awards (bonuses, PAs, and SVAs) for full deductibility as 
performance-based compensation. The committee may make payments that are not fully deductible if, in its 
judgment, such payments are necessary to achieve the company's compensation objectives and to protect 
shareholder interests. For 2013, the non-deductible compensation was approximately $408,000 for 
Dr. Lechleiter, less than the portion of his base salary that exceeded $1,000,000.

Executive Compensation Recovery Policy 

All incentive awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to the end of the performance 
period or for disciplinary reasons. In addition, the Compensation Committee has adopted an executive 
compensation recovery policy, which gives the committee broad discretion to claw back incentive payouts from 
any executive whose misconduct results in a material violation of law or company policy that causes significant 
harm to the company, or who fails in his or her supervisory responsibility to prevent such misconduct by others.  

Additionally, the company can recover all or a portion of any incentive compensation in the case of materially 
inaccurate financial statements or material errors in the performance calculation, whether or not they result in a 
restatement and whether or not the executive officer has engaged in wrongful conduct.  Recoveries under the 
35
plan can extend back as far as three years.  Additionally, as of 2013, the policy applies not only to executive

plan can extend back as far as three years.  Additionally, as of 2013, the policy applies not only to executive 
officers, but to all members of senior management (approximately 160 employees).

35

The recovery policy covers any incentive compensation awarded or paid beginning in 2013 to an employee at a 
time when he or she is a member of senior management. Subsequent changes in status, including retirement or 
termination of employment, do not affect the company’s rights to recover compensation under the policy. 

Looking Ahead to 2014 Compensation 

For 2014, in recognition of an expected substantial decline in revenue due to significant patent expirations, most 
employees, including executive officers, will not be receiving an increase to base salary to allow the company to 
fully invest in launching the company's late stage pipeline assets. The company bonus multiple for 2014 will also 
be reduced by 0.25.  For example, if the company hits its performance goals for 2014, the multiple will be 
reduced from 1.0 to 0.75.

Additionally, although the practice has long been discouraged for EOs, effective in 2014, the company has 
formally adopted a policy prohibiting all members of senior management (and outside directors) from pledging 
company shares (i.e., using them as collateral for a loan).

Compensation Committee Matters

Background

Role of the Independent Consultant In Assessing Executive Compensation
The committee has retained Cimi B. Silverberg of Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc., as its independent 
compensation consultant to assist the committee. Ms. Silverberg reports directly to the committee. Neither 
she nor her firm is permitted to have any business or personal relationship with management or the members 
of the Compensation Committee. The consultant’s responsibilities are to: 

•  Review the company’s total compensation philosophy, peer group, and target competitive positioning for 

reasonableness and appropriateness 

•  Review the company’s executive compensation program and advise the committee of evolving best 

practices 

•  Provide independent analyses and recommendations to the committee on the CEO’s pay 
•  Review draft “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and related tables for the proxy statement
•  Proactively advise the committee on best practices for board governance of executive compensation
•  Undertake special projects at the request of the committee chair

Ms. Silverberg interacts directly with members of company management only on matters under the 
committee’s oversight and with the knowledge and permission of the committee chair. 

Role of Executive Officers and Management In Assessing Executive Compensation
With the oversight of the CEO and the senior vice president of human resources and diversity, the company’s 
global compensation group formulates recommendations on compensation philosophy, plan design, and  
compensation for executive officers (other than the CEO, as noted below). The CEO gives the committee a 
performance assessment and compensation recommendation for each of the other executive officers. The 
committee considers those recommendations with the assistance of its consultant. The CEO and the senior 
vice president of human resources and diversity attend committee meetings but are not present for executive 
sessions or for any discussion of their own compensation. Only nonemployee directors and the committee’s 
consultant attend executive sessions. 

The CEO does not participate in the formulation or discussion of his pay recommendations and has no prior 
knowledge of the recommendations that the consultant makes to the committee.

Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee evaluates and establishes compensation for executive officers and oversees 
the deferred compensation plan, the company’s management stock plans, and other management incentive 
and benefit programs. Management has the primary responsibility for the company’s financial statements and 
reporting process, including the disclosure of executive compensation. With this in mind, the Compensation 
Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the CD&A above. The committee is satisfied that 
the CD&A fairly and completely represents the philosophy, intent, and actions of the committee with regard to 
executive compensation. The committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the CD&A be included 
in this proxy statement for filing with the SEC.

1 These columns show the threshold, target, and maximum payouts for performance under the bonus plan. Bonus 
payouts range from 0 to 200 percent of target. The bonus payment for 2013 performance was 137 percent of 
target, and is included in the “Summary Compensation Table” in the column titled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan 
Compensation.” 

2 To assure grant timing is not manipulated for employee gain, the annual grant date is established in advance by 
the Compensation Committee and consistently falls in the first week of February.  Equity awards to new hires 
and other off-cycle grants are effective on the first trading day of the following month.

3 This row shows the range of payouts for 2013-2014 PA grants. The 2013-2014 PA will pay out in January 2015, 
with payouts ranging from 0 to 150 percent of target. The grant-date fair value of the PA reflects the probable 
payout outcome anticipated at the time of grant, which was less than the target value.

4 This row shows the range of payouts for 2013-2015 SVA grants. The 2013-2015 SVA will pay out in 
January 2016, with payouts ranging from 0 to 140 percent of target. We measure the fair value of the SVA on the 
grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

To receive a payout under the PA or the SVA, a participant must remain employed with the company through the 
end of the relevant performance period (except in the case of death, disability, or retirement). In addition, an 
employee who was an executive officer at the time of the 2013-2014 PA grant will receive payment in RSUs.  No 
dividends accrue on either PAs or SVAs during the performance period. Non-preferential dividends accrue during 
the earned PA’s one-year restriction period (following the two-year performance period) and are paid upon 
vesting.

performance, provided performance goals are met. Any shares resulting from this award will pay out in the form 
of RSUs, vesting February 2016. Actual payouts may vary from 0 to 150 percent of target. The number of shares 
recorded in the table reflects the payout if the combined cumulative EPS for 2013 and 2014 falls between the 
range of $3.39 and $6.96.

5 The 2012-2013 PA paid out at 50 percent of target in January 2014 in the form of RSUs, vesting February 2015. 

6 PA shares paid out in January 2013 for the 2011-2012 performance period. These shares vested in

January 2014.  Since Mr. Harrington was not an executive officer when the award was granted, he received 
freely traded shares rather than RSUs.  Mr. Harrington must hold the net shares from this payout for one year as

3 SVAs granted for the 2012-2014 performance period. The number of shares reported in the table reflects the 

maximum payout, which will be made if the average closing stock price in November and December 2014 is over 

$49.64. Actual payouts may vary from 0 to 140 percent of target. Net shares from any payout must be held by 

executive officers for a minimum of one year. Had the performance period ended December 31, 2013, the payout 

would have been 140 percent of target. 

4 This number represents the threshold value of PA shares that could pay out in January 2015 for 2013-2014 

performance, provided performance goals are met. Any shares resulting from this award will pay out in the form 

of RSUs, vesting February 2016. Actual payouts may vary from 0 to 150 percent of target. The number of shares 

recorded in the table reflects the payout if the combined cumulative EPS for 2013 and 2014 falls between the 

range of $3.39 and $6.96.

5 The 2012-2013 PA paid out at 50 percent of target in January 2014 in the form of RSUs, vesting February 2015. 

6 PA shares paid out in January 2013 for the 2011-2012 performance period. These shares vested in 

February 2014. 

7 These options expired with no value to the holder.

8 This grant was made in 2008 outside of the normal annual cycle and will vest on May 1, 2018.

Retirement Benefits 
We provide retirement income to U.S. employees, including executive officers, through the following plans: 
•  The 401(k) plan, a defined contribution plan qualified under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal 

41

Revenue Code. Participants may elect to contribute a portion of their salary to the plan, and the company 
provides matching contributions on employees’ contributions up to 6 percent of base salary. The employee 
contributions, company contributions, and earnings thereon are paid out in accordance with elections made 
by the participant. See the "All Other Compensation" column in the “Summary Compensation Table” for 
information about company contributions for the named executive officers. 

•  The retirement plan, a tax-qualified defined benefit plan that provides monthly benefits to retirees. See the 
“Pension Benefits in 2013” table below for additional information about the value of these pension benefits. 

Sections 401 and 415 of the Internal Revenue Code generally limit the amount of annual pension that can be 
paid from a tax-qualified plan ($210,000 in 2013) as well as the amount of annual earnings that can be used to 
calculate a pension benefit ($260,000 in 2014). However, since 1975, the company has maintained a 
nonqualified pension plan that pays retirees the difference between the amount payable under the retirement 
plan and the amount they would have received without the Internal Revenue Code limits. The nonqualified 
pension plan is unfunded and subject to forfeiture in the event of bankruptcy. 

The following table shows benefits that the named executive officers have accrued under the retirement plan and 
the nonqualified pension plan.

2 Dr. Lechleiter is currently eligible for full retirement benefits under the old plan formula (pre-2010 benefits) and 
qualifies for early retirement under the new plan formula (post-2009 benefits) as described below. 

42

The retirement plan benefits shown in the table are net present values. The benefits are not payable as a lump 
sum; they are generally paid as a monthly annuity for the life of the retiree and, if elected, any qualifying survivor. 
The annual benefit under the retirement plan is calculated using years of service and the average of the annual 
earnings (salary plus bonus) for the highest five out of the last 10 calendar years of service (final average 
earnings).  

Post-2009 Plan Information: Following amendment of our retirement plan formulae, employees hired on or after 
February 1, 2008 have accrued retirement benefits only under the new plan formula. Employees hired before 
that date have accrued benefits under both the old and new plan formulae. All eligible employees, including 
those hired on or after February 1, 2008, can retire at age 65 with at least five years of service and receive an 
unreduced benefit. The annual benefit under the new plan formula is equal to 1.2 percent of final average 
earnings multiplied by years of service. Early retirement benefits under this plan formula are reduced 6 percent 
for each year under age 65. Transition benefits were afforded to employees with 50 points (age plus service) or 
more as of December 31, 2009. These benefits were intended to ease the transition to the new retirement 
formula for those employees who are closer to retirement or have been with the company longer. For the 
transition group, early retirement benefits are reduced 3 percent for each year from age 65 to age 60 and 
6 percent for each year under age 60. All named executive officers except Dr. Lundberg are in this transition 
group. 

Pre-2010 Plan Information: Employees hired prior to February 1, 2008 accrued benefits under both plan 
formulae. For these employees, benefits that accrued before January 1, 2010 were calculated under the old plan 
formula. The amount of the benefit is calculated using actual years of service through December 31, 2009, while 
total years of service is used to determine eligibility and early retirement reductions. The benefit amount is 
increased (but not decreased) proportionately, based on final average earnings at termination compared to final 
average earnings at December 31, 2009. Full retirement benefits are earned by employees with 90 or more 
points (the sum of his or her age plus years of service). Employees electing early retirement receive reduced 
benefits as described below: 
•  The benefit for employees with between 80 and 90 points is reduced by 3 percent for each year under 

90 points or age 62. 

•  The benefit for employees who have less than 80 points, but who reached age 55 and have at least 10 years 

of service, is reduced as described above and is further reduced by 6 percent for each year under 80 points 
or age 65.

The "Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in 2013" table above shows information about two company 
programs: the nonqualified savings plan and the deferred compensation plan. The nonqualified savings plan is 
designed to allow each employee to contribute up to 6 percent of his or her base salary, and receive a company 
match, beyond the contribution limits prescribed by the IRS with regard to 401(k) plans. This plan is administered 
in the same manner as the 401(k) plan, with the same participation and investment elections. Executive officers 
and other U.S. executives may also defer receipt of all or part of their cash compensation under the deferred 
compensation plan. Amounts deferred by executives under this plan are credited with interest at 120 percent of 
the applicable federal long-term rate as established the preceding December by the U.S. Treasury Department 
under Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code with monthly compounding, which was 2.9 percent for 2013 
and is 3.9 percent for 2014. Participants may elect to receive the funds in a lump sum or in up to 10 annual 
installments following retirement, but may not make withdrawals during their employment, except in the event of 
hardship as approved by the Compensation Committee. All deferral elections and associated distribution 
schedules are irrevocable. Both plans are unfunded and subject to forfeiture in the event of bankruptcy.

• 

distributions of plan balances under the 401(k) plan and the nonqualified savings plan. See the narrative 

following the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in 2013” table for information about these plans. 

Deferred Compensation. The amounts shown in the table do not include distributions of plan balances under 

the deferred compensation plan. Those amounts are shown in the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in 

2013” table. 

Death and Disability. A termination of employment due to death or disability does not entitle named executive 

officers to any payments or benefits that are not available to U.S. salaried employees generally. 

Termination for Cause. Executives terminated for cause receive no severance or enhanced benefits and forfeit 

any unvested equity grants. 

Change-in-Control Severance Pay Plan. As described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” under 

“Severance Benefits,” the company maintains a change-in-control severance pay plan for nearly all employees, 

including the named executive officers. The change-in-control plan defines a change in control very specifically, 

but generally the terms include the occurrence of one of the following: (i) acquisition of 20 percent or more of the 

company’s stock; (ii) replacement by the shareholders of one half or more of the Board of Directors; 

(iii) consummation of a merger, share exchange, or consolidation of the company; or (iv) liquidation of the 

company or sale or disposition of all or substantially all of its assets. The amounts shown in the table for 

“involuntary or good-reason termination after change in control” are based on the following assumptions and plan 

provisions: 

in control. 

•  Covered terminations. The table assumes a termination of employment that is eligible for severance under 

the terms of the plan, based on the named executive officer’s compensation, benefits, age, and service 

credit at December 31, 2013. Eligible terminations include an involuntary termination for reasons other than 

for cause or a voluntary termination by the executive for good reason, within two years following the change 

•  A termination of an executive officer by the company is for cause if it is for any of the following reasons: 

(i) the employee’s willful and continued refusal to perform, without legal cause, his or her material duties, 

resulting in demonstrable economic harm to the company; (ii) any act of fraud, dishonesty, or gross 

misconduct resulting in significant economic harm or other significant harm to the business reputation of 

the company; or (iii) conviction of or the entering of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony. 

•  A termination by the executive officer is for good reason if it results from: (i) a material diminution in the 

nature or status of the executive’s position, title, reporting relationship, duties, responsibilities, or 

authority, or the assignment to him or her of additional responsibilities that materially increase his or her 

workload; (ii) any reduction in the executive’s then-current base salary; (iii) a material reduction in the 

executive’s opportunities to earn incentive bonuses below those in effect for the year prior to the change 

in control; (iv) a material reduction in the executive’s employee benefits from the benefit levels in effect 

immediately prior to the change in control; (v) the failure to grant to the executive stock options, stock 

units, performance shares, or similar incentive rights during each 12-month period following the change 

in control on the basis of a number of shares or units and all other material terms at least as favorable to 

the executive as those rights granted to him or her on an annualized average basis for the three-year 

period immediately prior to the change in control; or (vi) relocation of the executive by more than 

50 miles. 

•  Cash severance payment. The cash severance payment amounts to two times the executive officer's 2013 

annual base salary plus two times the executive officer’s bonus target for 2013 under the bonus plan.

•  Continuation of medical and welfare benefits. This amount represents the present value of the change-in-

control plan’s guarantee, following a covered termination, of 18 months of continued coverage equivalent to 
the company’s current active employee medical, dental, life, and long-term disability insurance. Similar 
actuarial assumptions to those used to calculate incremental pension benefits apply to the calculation for 
continuation of medical and welfare benefits, with the addition of actual COBRA rates based on current 
benefit elections. 

•  Acceleration of equity awards. Upon a covered termination, any unvested equity awards would vest upon 

consummation of a change in control and a partial payment of outstanding PAs would be made, reduced to

reflect the portion of the performance period worked prior to the change in control. Likewise, in the case of a 
change in control in which Lilly is not the surviving entity, SVAs would pay out based on the change-in-
control stock price and be prorated for the portion of the three-year performance period elapsed. The amount 
in this column represents the value of the acceleration of unvested equity grants. 

•  Excise taxes. Upon a change in control, employees may be subject to certain excise taxes under 

Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. The company does not reimburse the affected employees for 
those excise taxes or any income taxes payable by the employee. To reduce the employee's exposure to 
excise taxes, the employee’s change-in-control benefit may be decreased to maximize the after-tax benefit 
to the individual. 

Payments Upon Change in Control Alone. In general, the change-in-control plan is a “double trigger” plan, 
meaning payments are made only if the employee suffers a covered termination of employment within two years 
following the change in control. There are limited exceptions for PAs and SVAs as noted above under 
"Acceleration of equity awards."

Item 2. Proposal to Ratify the Appointment of Principal 
Independent Auditor

Audit Committee Report 

The Audit Committee reviews the company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management 
has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of 
internal controls and disclosure controls. In this context, the committee has met and held discussions with 
management and the independent auditor. Management represented to the committee that the company’s 
consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 
(GAAP), and the committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements and related 
disclosures with management and the independent auditor, including a review of the significant management 
judgments underlying the financial statements and disclosures. 

The independent auditor reports to the Audit Committee, which has sole authority to appoint and to replace 
the independent auditor. 

The committee has discussed with the independent auditor matters required to be discussed with the Audit 
Committee by the standards of the Public Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and the NYSE, including the 
quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, 
and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements. In addition, the committee has received the 
written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditor required by applicable requirements of the 
PCAOB regarding communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed 
with the independent auditor the auditor’s independence from the company and its management. In 
concluding that the auditor is independent, the committee determined, among other things, that the nonaudit 
services provided by Ernst & Young LLP ("EY") (as described below) were compatible with its independence. 
Consistent with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), the committee 
has adopted policies to ensure the independence of the independent auditor, such as prior committee 
approval of nonaudit services and required audit partner rotation. 

The committee discussed with the company’s internal and independent auditors the overall scope and plans 
for their respective audits, including internal control testing under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The 
committee periodically meets with the internal and independent auditors, with and without management 
present, and in private sessions with members of senior management (such as the chief financial officer and 
the chief accounting officer) to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the company’s 
internal controls, and the overall quality of the company’s financial reporting. The committee also periodically 
meets in executive session. 

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the committee recommended to the Board (and 
the Board subsequently approved the recommendation) that the audited financial statements be included in 
the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, for filing with the SEC.

The committee has also appointed the company’s independent auditor, subject to shareholder ratification, for 
2014.

Services Performed by the Independent Auditor 
The Audit Committee preapproves all services performed by the independent auditor, in part to assess 
whether the provision of such services might impair the auditor’s independence. The committee’s policy and 
procedures are as follows: 

•  The committee approves the annual audit services engagement and, if necessary, any changes in terms, 
conditions, and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, company structure, or other matters. Audit 
services include internal controls attestation work under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The 
committee may also preapprove other audit services, which are those services that only the independent 
auditor reasonably can provide. 

•  Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance 
of the audit, and that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The committee believes that 
the provision of these services does not impair the independence of the auditor. 

•  The committee believes that, in appropriate cases, the independent auditor can provide tax compliance 

services, tax planning, and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence. 

•  The committee may approve other services to be provided by the independent auditor if (i) the services 
are permissible under SEC and PCAOB rules, (ii) the committee believes the provision of the services 
would not impair the independence of the auditor, and (iii) management believes that the auditor is the 
best choice to provide the services. 

•  At the beginning of each audit year, management requests prior committee approval of the annual audit, 
statutory audits, and quarterly reviews for the upcoming audit year as well as any other engagements 
known at that time. Management will also present at that time an estimate of all fees for the upcoming 
audit year. As specific engagements are identified thereafter, they are brought forward to the committee 
for approval. To the extent approvals are required between regularly scheduled committee meetings, 
preapproval authority is delegated to the committee chair. 

For each engagement, management provides the committee with information about the services and fees, 
sufficiently detailed to allow the committee to make an informed judgment about the nature and scope of the 
services and the potential for the services to impair the independence of the auditor. 

After the end of the audit year, management provides the committee with a summary of the actual fees 
incurred for the completed audit year. 

Independent Auditor Fees 
The following table shows the fees incurred for services rendered on a worldwide basis by the company’s 
independent auditor, EY in 2013 and 2012. All such services were pre-approved by the committee in 
accordance with the pre-approval policy.

Audit Committee Oversight of Independent Auditor
The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the 
independent external audit firm retained to audit the company's financial statements. Further information 
regarding the committee's oversight of the independent auditor can be found in the Audit Committee charter, 
available online at http://investor.lilly.com/governance.cfm, or upon request to the company's corporate 
secretary.  

In accordance with the SEC rules and EY policies, audit partners are subject to rotation requirements to limit 
the number of years an individual partner may provide service to the company.  For lead and concurring 
partners, the maximum number of consecutive years in that capacity is five years. The committee oversees 
the process for selecting the new lead partner and for reviewing and evaluating the lead partner once 
retained. The committee also periodically considers whether a rotation of the company's independent auditor 
is advisable. 

Board Proposal on Item 2

The Audit Committee believes that the continued retention of EY to serve as the company's independent 
external auditor is in the best interests of the company and its investors, and has therefore appointed the firm 
of EY as principal independent auditor for the company for the year 2014. In accordance with the bylaws, this 
appointment is being submitted to the shareholders for ratification. 

EY also served as the principal independent auditor for the company in 2013. Representatives of EY are 
expected to be present at the annual meeting and will be available to respond to questions. Those 
representatives will have the opportunity to make a statement if they wish to do so. 

The Board recommends that you vote FOR ratifying the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as 
principal independent auditor for 2014. 

Item 3. Advisory Vote on Compensation Paid to Named 
Executive Officers

Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provides the Company's shareholders with 
the opportunity to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's NEOs as disclosed in 
the proxy statement. As described in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section, above, and 
elsewhere in this proxy statement, we believe our compensation philosophy is designed to attract and retain 
highly-talented individuals and motivate them to create long-term shareholder value by achieving top-tier

Item 3. Advisory Vote on Compensation Paid to Named 
Executive Officers

Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provides the Company's shareholders with 
the opportunity to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's NEOs as disclosed in 
the proxy statement. As described in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section, above, and 
elsewhere in this proxy statement, we believe our compensation philosophy is designed to attract and retain 
highly-talented individuals and motivate them to create long-term shareholder value by achieving top-tier 
corporate performance while embracing the company’s values of integrity, excellence, and respect for people. 

51

The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that our executive compensation aligns well 
with our philosophy and with corporate performance. Executive compensation is an important matter for our 
shareholders.  We routinely review our compensation practices and engage in ongoing dialog with our 
shareholders in order to ensure our practices are aligned with stakeholder interests and reflect best practices.

We request shareholder approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the company’s named 
executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in the CD&A, the compensation tables, and related 
narratives. As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on the company. However, the Compensation 
Committee values input from shareholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future 
executive compensation decisions. 

Board Proposal on Item 3

The Board recommends that you vote FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation 
paid to the named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including 
the CD&A, the compensation tables, and related narratives in this proxy statement. 

Meeting and Voting Logistics 

Additional items of business 
We do not expect any items of business other than those above because the deadline for shareholder 
proposals and nominations has passed. Nonetheless, if necessary, the accompanying proxy gives 
discretionary authority to the persons named on the proxy with respect to any other matters that might be 
brought before the meeting. Those persons intend to vote that proxy in accordance with their best judgment. 

Voting 
Shareholders as of the close of business on February 28, 2014 (the record date) may vote at the annual 
meeting. You have one vote for each share of common stock you held on the record date, including shares: 

•  held directly in your name as the shareholder of record 
•  held for you in an account with a broker, bank, or other nominee 
•  attributed to your account in the 401(k) plan. 

If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote your shares in person at the meeting. However, we 
encourage you to vote by mail, by telephone, or on the Internet even if you plan to attend the meeting. 

Required vote 
Below are the vote requirements for the various proposals. 

•  The five nominees for director will be elected if the votes cast for the nominee exceed the votes cast 

against the nominee. Abstentions will not count as votes cast either for or against a nominee. 

•  The following items of business will be approved if the votes cast for the proposal exceed those cast 

against the proposal: 

•  ratification of the appointment of principal independent auditor; and
•  advisory approval of executive compensation.

Abstentions will not be counted either for or against these proposals. 

Quorum 
A majority of the outstanding shares, present or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the annual 
meeting. As of the record date, 1,119,757,288 shares of company common stock were issued and 
outstanding. 

52

52

Voting by proxy 
If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote your proxy by any one of the following methods: 

On the Internet. You may vote online at www.proxyvote.com. Follow the instructions on your proxy 
card or notice. If you received these materials electronically, follow the instructions in the e-mail 
message that notified you of their availability. Voting on the Internet has the same effect as voting by 
mail. If you vote on the Internet, do not return your proxy card.  

By telephone. Shareholders in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada may vote by telephone by 
following the instructions on your proxy card or notice. If you received these materials electronically, 
follow the instructions in the e-mail message that notified you of their availability. Voting by telephone 
has the same effect as voting by mail. If you vote by telephone, do not return your proxy card. 

By mail. Sign and date each proxy card you receive and return it in the prepaid envelope. Sign your 
name exactly as it appears on the proxy. If you are signing in a representative capacity (for example, 
as an attorney-in-fact, executor, administrator, guardian, trustee, or the officer or agent of a 
corporation or partnership), please indicate your name and your title or capacity. If the stock is held in 
custody for a minor (for example, under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act), the custodian should 
sign, not the minor. If the stock is held in joint ownership, one owner may sign on behalf of all owners. 
If you return your signed proxy but do not indicate your voting preferences, we will vote on your behalf 
with the Board’s recommendations.

If you did not receive a proxy card in the materials you received from the company and you wish to 
vote by mail rather than by telephone or on the Internet, you may request a paper copy of these 
materials and a proxy card by calling 317-433-5112. If you received a notice or an e-mail message 
notifying you of the electronic availability of these materials, please provide the control number, along 
with your name and mailing address.  

You have the right to revoke your proxy at any time before the meeting by (i) notifying the company’s 
secretary in writing, or (ii) delivering a later-dated proxy via the Internet, by mail, or by telephone. If you are a 
shareholder of record, you may also revoke your proxy by voting in person at the meeting. 

Voting shares held by a broker 
If your shares are held by a broker, the broker will ask you how you want your shares to be voted. You may 
instruct your broker or other nominee to vote your shares by following instructions that the broker or nominee 
provides to you. Most brokers offer voting by mail, by telephone, and on the Internet. 

If you give the broker instructions, your shares will be voted as you direct. If you do not give instructions, one 
of two things can happen, depending on the type of proposal. For the ratification of the auditor, the broker 
may vote your shares in its discretion. For all other proposals, the broker may not vote your shares at all. 

Voting shares held in the 401(k) plan 
You may instruct the plan trustee on how to vote your shares in the 401(k) plan via the Internet, by mail, or by 
telephone as described above, except that, if you vote by mail, the card that you use will be a voting 
instruction form rather than a proxy card. 

In addition, unless you decline, your vote will apply to a proportionate number of other shares held by 
participants in the 401(k) plan for which voting directions are not received (except for a small number of 
shares from a prior stock ownership plan, which can be voted only on the directions of the participants to 
whose accounts the shares are credited).

All participants are named fiduciaries under the terms of the 401(k) plan and under the Employee Retirement 
Income Security Act (ERISA) for the limited purpose of voting shares credited to their accounts and the 
portion of undirected shares to which their vote applies. Under ERISA, fiduciaries are required to act prudently 
in making voting decisions. 

53

53

If you do not want to have your vote applied to the undirected shares, you must so indicate when you vote. 
Otherwise, the trustee will automatically apply your voting preferences to the undirected shares proportionally 
with all other participants who elected to have their votes applied in this manner. 

If you do not vote, your shares will be voted by other plan participants who have elected to have their voting 
preferences applied proportionally to all shares for which voting instructions are not otherwise received. 

Proxy cards and notices 
If you received more than one proxy card, notice, or e-mail related to proxy materials, you hold shares in more 
than one account. To ensure that all your shares are voted, sign and return each card. Alternatively, if you 
vote by telephone or on the Internet, you will need to vote once for each proxy card, notice, or e-mail you 
receive. If you do not receive a proxy card, you may have elected to receive your proxy statement 
electronically, in which case you should have received an e-mail with directions on how to access the proxy 
statement and how to vote your shares. If you wish to request a paper copy of these materials and a proxy 
card, please call 317-433-5112. 

Vote tabulation 
Votes are tabulated by an independent inspector of election, IVS Associates, Inc. 

Attending the annual meeting 
Attendance at the meeting will be limited to shareholders, those holding proxies, and invited guests from the 
media and financial community.  All shareholders as of the record date may attend by presenting the 
admission ticket that appears at the end of this proxy statement. Please fill it out and bring it with you to the 
meeting. The meeting will be held at the Lilly Center Auditorium. Please use the Lilly Center entrance to the 
south of the fountain at the intersection of Delaware and McCarty streets. You will need to pass through 
security, including a metal detector. Present your ticket to an usher at the meeting. 

Parking will be available on a first-come, first-served basis in the garage indicated on the map at the end of 
this report. If you have questions about admittance or parking, you may call 317-433-5112 (prior to the annual 
meeting). 

The 2015 annual meeting 
The company’s 2015 annual meeting is currently scheduled for May 4, 2015. 

Shareholder proposals 
If a shareholder wishes to have a proposal considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy statement, he or she 
must submit the proposal in writing so that we receive it by November 24, 2014. Proposals should be 
addressed to the company’s corporate secretary, Lilly Corporate Center, Indianapolis, Indiana 46285. In 
addition, the company’s bylaws provide that any shareholder wishing to propose any other business at the 
annual meeting must give the company written notice by November 24, 2014 and no earlier than September 
21, 2014. That notice must provide certain other information as described in the bylaws. Copies of the bylaws 
are available online at http://investor.lilly.com/governance.cfm or upon request to the company’s corporate 
secretary. 

Other Matters

Other information regarding the company’s proxy solicitation 
We will pay all expenses in connection with our solicitation of proxies. We will pay brokers, nominees, 
fiduciaries, or other custodians their reasonable expenses for sending proxy material to and obtaining 
instructions from persons for whom they hold stock of the company. We expect to solicit proxies primarily by 
mail, but directors, officers, and other employees of the company may also solicit in person or by telephone, 
fax, or electronic mail. We have retained Georgeson Inc. to assist in the distribution and solicitation of proxies. 
Georgeson may solicit proxies by personal interview, telephone, fax, mail, and electronic mail. We expect that 
the fee for those services will not exceed $17,500 plus reimbursement of customary out-of-pocket expenses. 

54

54

 
Section 16(a) beneficial ownership reporting compliance
Under SEC rules, our directors and executive officers are required to file with the SEC reports of holdings and 
changes in beneficial ownership of company stock. We have reviewed copies of reports provided to the 
company, as well as other records and information. Based on that review, we concluded that all reports were 
timely filed.

Certain legal matters
In 2011, the company received a letter sent on behalf of shareholder Kim Barovic demanding that the board of 
directors cause the company to take (1) legal action against certain of its current and former officers and 
board members for allegedly causing damage to the company by failing to exercise proper oversight over the 
company’s compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and (2) all necessary actions to reform and 
improve certain corporate governance and internal procedures.The board established a committee of 
disinterested directors to consider the demands and determine what action, if any, the company should take 
in response. In February 2013, following its investigation, the committee determined, among other things, that 
it would not be in the best interests of the company to take any of the actions demanded by Ms. Barovic.

In August 2013, Ms. Barovic brought a shareholder derivative suit (Barovic v. Lechleiter, et al.), filed in Marion 
County (Indiana) Superior Court. The suit seeks to maintain the action purportedly on behalf of the company 
against certain current and former directors and officers of the company and alleges breach of fiduciary duty, 
waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. The company is named in the suit as a nominal defendant. 
The suit does not seek damages from the company, but instead requests damages in an unspecified amount 
and certain equitable relief on the company’s behalf. The company believes the suit is without merit and all of 
the individual defendants intend to defend themselves vigorously against the allegations in the complaint.

By order of the Board of Directors,

Appendix A - Summary of Adjustments to EPS Related to the 
Annual Bonus and PA

Consistent with past practice, the Compensation Committee adjusted the results on which 2012-2013 PAs 
and the 2013 bonus were determined to eliminate the distorting effect of certain unusual income or expense 
items on year-over-year growth percentages. The adjustments are intended to: 
•  align award payments with the underlying performance of the core business 
•  avoid volatile, artificial inflation or deflation of awards due to unusual items in either the award year or the 

previous (comparator) year 

•  eliminate certain counterproductive short-term incentives—for example, incentives to refrain from 

acquiring new technologies, to defer disposing of underutilized assets, or to defer settling legacy legal 
proceedings to protect current bonus payments.

To assure the integrity of the adjustments, the Compensation Committee establishes adjustment guidelines at 
the beginning of the year. These guidelines are generally consistent with the company guidelines for reporting 
non-GAAP earnings to the investment community, which are reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board. 
The adjustments apply equally to income and expense items. The Compensation Committee reviews all 
adjustments and retains downward discretion, i.e., discretion to reduce compensation below the amounts that 
are yielded by the adjustment guidelines.

5555

Adjustments for 2013 Bonus Plan.  For the 2013 bonus calculations, the Compensation Committee made the 
following adjustments to reported EPS:

•  Eliminated the EPS impact of the charge recognized for acquired in-process research and 

development related to the CGRP antibody.

•  Eliminated the EPS impact of significant asset impairments and restructuring charges.
•  Eliminated the EPS impact of the income received related to the termination of the exenatide 

collaboration with Amylin.

Reconciliations of these adjustments to our reported EPS are below.

Adjustments for 2012-2013 PA. When the Compensation Committee set EPS growth goals for the 2012-2013 
PA, the termination of our exenatide alliance with Amylin and the associated revenue-sharing obligation was 
not contemplated and therefore, the 2012-2013 PA goals assumed ongoing net income from sales of 
exenatide during 2012 and 2013. The Compensation Committee decided to neutralize the impact of the 
termination of the exenatide collaboration with Amylin. In addition, although the company excluded the impact 
of the Xigris product withdrawal that occurred in 2011 in its published non-GAAP earnings, the committee 
chose to include the negative impact on sales and EPS for 2012 when determining EPS for purposes of 
paying the 2012-2013 PA.

For the 2012-2013 PA payout calculations, the Compensation Committee made the following adjustments to 
reported EPS: 

•  For 2012 and 2013: (i) Eliminated the EPS impact of the income received related to the termination of the 
exenatide collaboration with Amylin; (ii) Added back the planned income from exenatide for the period 
after the termination of the collaboration with Amylin;

•  For 2011 and 2013: Eliminated one-time accounting charges for acquired in-process research and 

development; and

•  For 2011, 2012, and 2013: Eliminated the impact of significant asset impairment and restructuring 

charges.

Reconciliations of these adjustments to our EPS and our published non-GAAP EPS are below. 

EPS as reported

Eliminate IPR&D charges for acquisitions and in-
licensing transactions

Eliminate asset impairments, restructuring and
other special charges (including Xigris
withdrawal)

advancing health. improving Life.

Lilly’s greatest contribution to society is making medicines 
that help people live longer, healthier, more active lives. But 
our company’s vision—to improve global health in the 21st 
century—demands that we do even more.

Over the last decade, we’ve transformed our corporate 
responsibility efforts, focusing on improving health for people 
in low- and middle-income countries and strengthening our 
communities. We’re balancing traditional philanthropy with 
novel approaches that put to work our expertise and resources. 
We’re increasingly linking our corporate responsibility efforts 
together—and to our business—for greater impact.

Our approach can be seen in our global health programs 

focused on diabetes and tuberculosis.

The Lilly NCD Partnership was launched in 2011 to 

help fight the rising tide of noncommunicable diseases. 
NCDs—which include heart disease, cancer, chronic respira-
tory diseases, and diabetes—are the leading cause of deaths 
worldwide. We’re investing $30 million over five years to 
strengthen diabetes care for people in Brazil, Mexico, India, 
and South Africa. Working with our partners, we’re leveraging 
our nearly 100 years of diabetes experience and knowledge to 
test new approaches, report on what works, and then advocate 
for replicating the best solutions.

The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership was launched in 2003 

to fight multidrug-resistant TB. MDR-TB is preventable 
and curable if patients get the right medicine at the right 
time—yet it needlessly kills more than 150,000 people each 
year. The partnership is our largest philanthropic effort ever—
a $170 million commitment from 2003 to 2016. We’ve given 
away our technology for manufacturing two antibiotics that 

are still critical to curing MDR-TB; we’ve joined with global 
health organizations to strengthen awareness, prevention, and 
care; and we’ve funded research to find new treatment options.
Our Elanco animal health business, through its partnership 

with Heifer International, aims to lift 100,000 families out of 
hunger through the donation of livestock, training, and tools.

At the heart of our efforts to strengthen communities are 

Lilly employees. Each year on our Global Day of Service, more 
than 20,000 Lilly volunteers in their communities accomplish 
what would otherwise take months or years.

 Through our Connecting Hearts Abroad program, we 
send at least 100 employees each year to volunteer for two 
weeks in impoverished communities. These Lilly volunteers 
forge lasting relationships and bring back insights that make 
us a stronger, more globally aware company.

Corporate responsibility is part of who we are and what 

we do at Lilly—from the medicines we make, to how we 
interact with each other and the customers we serve, to our 
environmental practices, and more.

You can review our performance across all areas of our 

business in our 2012–13 Corporate Responsibility Report at 
www.lilly.com/responsibility/our-approach.

As part of an assignment with the Lilly NCD Partnership, Lilly 
Connecting Hearts Abroad ambassadors Sandra James (seated, on left) 
and Taylor Burch (standing, on right) helped train workers for Project 
HOPE—a Lilly partner since 1959—on ways to improve diabetes care 
for people in need in South Africa.
