Item 2.02.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On December 15, 2020, Eli Lilly and Company (the "Company") issued a press release updating its financial guidance for
2020, and announcing its financial guidance for 2021. In addition, on the same day, the Company held a teleconference for analysts and media to discuss this guidance. The teleconference was webcast on the Company's web site. The press release is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures that differ from financial statements reported in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 includes a
description of certain non-GAAP items that may affect the Company's financial expectations for 2020 and 2021. The
Company's non-GAAP financial measures adjust reported results to exclude amortization of intangibles and items that are
typically highly variable, difficult to predict, and/or of a size that could have a substantial impact on the Company's reported
operations for a period. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to
investors in evaluating the Company's performance. They can assist in making meaningful period-over-period comparisons and in identifying operating trends that would otherwise be masked or distorted by the items subject to the adjustments.
