- Proceeds are to be used to repay outstanding obligations under Elanco’s revolving credit facility.
- The incremental term facility matures on June 30, 2025.

- The transaction creates a direct financial obligation under the company’s credit agreement and does not represent new operating revenue or profit.
Changes Versus the Prior Comparable Period

Guidance, Outlook, Risks and Unusual Items
