remaining 80.2 percent ownership of Elanco Animal Health (Elanco) common stock through a tax-free exchange offer. As a result, beginning in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2019, we presented Elanco as discontinued operations in our consolidated condensed financial statements for all periods presented. We are issuing this Current Report on Form 8-K to recast Elanco as discontinued operations as of and for each of the periods covered by our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Form 10-K). </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Exhibit&#160;99.1 of this current report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference, presents a recast of the following sections of our Form 10-K to present Elanco as discontinued operations: Item 6. Selected Financial Data, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, and Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.  Except as specifically set forth herein, no revisions have been made to the Company's Form 10-K to update for other information, developments, or events that have occurred since our Form 10-K was filed on February 19, 2019.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">This Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K. These subsequent SEC filings contain important information regarding events, developments, and updates affecting us and our expectations that have occurred since the filing of the Form 10-K.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We are also providing the following update regarding Trulicity. Revenue of Trulicity, a treatment for type 2 diabetes, increased 17 percent and 24 percent in the United States (U.S.) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, primarily driven by increased demand, partially offset by lower realized prices resulting from the following negative price dynamics: higher contracted rebates, changes in segment mix, and increased coverage gap funding requirements in Medicare Part D. We expect these negative price dynamics to moderate by the end of 2019 and into 2020. Revenue outside the U.S. increased 50 percent and 45 percent during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, primarily driven by increased volume.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">This Current Report on Form 8-K contains management&#8217;s current intentions and expectations for the future, which are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including due to competitive developments affecting current products and the impact of actions of governmental and private payers affecting the pricing of, reimbursement for, and access to pharmaceuticals.  For additional information, refer to our latest Form 10-K and 10-Q and any 8-Ks filed with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.

Item 8.01
Other Events
On March 11, 2019, we completed the disposition of our remaining 80.2 percent ownership of Elanco Animal Health (Elanco) common stock through a tax-free exchange offer. As a result, beginning in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2019, we presented Elanco as discontinued operations in our consolidated condensed financial statements for all periods presented. We are issuing this Current Report on Form 8-K to recast Elanco as discontinued operations as of and for each of the periods covered by our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Form 10-K).
Exhibit 99.1 of this current report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference, presents a recast of the following sections of our Form 10-K to present Elanco as discontinued operations: Item 6. Selected Financial Data, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, and Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.  Except as specifically set forth herein, no revisions have been made to the Company's Form 10-K to update for other information, developments, or events that have occurred since our Form 10-K was filed on February 19, 2019.
This Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K. These subsequent SEC filings contain important information regarding events, developments, and updates affecting us and our expectations that have occurred since the filing of the Form 10-K.
We are also providing the following update regarding Trulicity. Revenue of Trulicity, a treatment for type 2 diabetes, increased 17 percent and 24 percent in the United States (U.S.) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, primarily driven by increased demand, partially offset by lower realized prices resulting from the following negative price dynamics: higher contracted rebates, changes in segment mix, and increased coverage gap funding requirements in Medicare Part D. We expect these negative price dynamics to moderate by the end of 2019 and into 2020. Revenue outside the U.S. increased 50 percent and 45 percent during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, primarily driven by increased volume.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains management's current intentions and expectations for the future, which are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including due to competitive developments affecting current products and the impact of actions of governmental and private payers affecting the pricing of, reimbursement for, and access to pharmaceuticals.  For additional information, refer to our latest Form 10-K and 10-Q and any 8-Ks filed with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Except as is required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events after the date of this report.
