What's Driving LLY's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown
AI-extracted from ELI LILLY & Co's 10-Q filed 2026-04-30 — Q1 2026 (quarter ended March 31, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.
Eli Lilly reported $19.8B in Q1 2026 revenue, +56% YoY, driven by Mounjaro and Zepbound which represent 65% of total revenue; net income surged 168% to $7.4B.
Biggest Revenue Drivers
Total revenue: $19.8B+56% YoY
Verzenio growth offset by modest decline in other oncology products.
Modest growth across Taltz and other immunology products.
Revenue from Boehringer Ingelheim collaboration and other licensing arrangements.
Largest Expense Items
Increased proportionally with volume growth; gross margin as percent of revenue declined 0.6 percentage points due to lower realized prices.
Continued investments in early and late-stage portfolio development.
Higher promotional efforts supporting ongoing and planned product launches.
Lower than prior year which included Scorpion Therapeutics acquisition; 2026 includes Ventyx acquisition ($977M IPR&D).
Margins: Gross margin decreased 0.6 percentage points to 81.9% of revenue, primarily driven by lower realized prices from government pricing agreements, NRDL listing in China, and customer mix shifts. Operating leverage from higher volumes was offset by pricing pressures.
Watch Items from the Filing
- Mounjaro and Zepbound account for 65% of Q1 2026 revenue; significant dependence on cardiometabolic product portfolio creates concentration risk. Volume fluctuations in these products could have disproportionate impact on results.
- U.S. government pricing agreements finalized in Q1 2026 include Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program (discounted obesity medicines through Dec 31, 2027) and lower Medicaid prices. Impact of expanded access and uptake is unknown; broader U.S. policy efforts to align pricing with international benchmarks remain uncertain.
- Jardiance revenue includes $250M one-time benefits in Q1 2026 vs. $370M in Q1 2025 from collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim. Right to receive up to $660M in potential sales-based milestones in 2026.
- Pending acquisition agreements with potential payouts of approximately $12B at closing; also $850M unfunded venture capital commitments. Capital expenditures expected to be meaningfully higher in near term to support manufacturing expansion.
- Emgality patent litigation: April 2026 Federal Circuit opinion reversed trial court's invalidation finding and remanded to district court; company recognized charge in Q1 2026 and is assessing next steps. IRA selected Trulicity and Verzenio for Medicare government-set pricing effective 2028.
