(fxcue news) - Drugmaker Eli Lilly and Co.

In pre-market activity on the NYSE, LLY shares are trading at $863.26, up $91.12 or 11.80 percent. "Mounjaro, Zepbound and Verzenio led our strong financial performance in the second quarter as we advanced our manufacturing expansion agenda, and it is equally exciting to see the growth around the world of our medicines for cancer, neurological disorders and autoimmune diseases," said David Ricks, Chair and CEO. For the second quarter, Eli Lilly reported net income of $2.97 billion or $3.28 per share, sharply higher than $1.76 billion or $1.95 per share in the year-ago quarter.

World-wide revenue for the quarter grew 36 percent to $11.30 billion from $8.31 billion in the same quarter last year. Analysts' expected revenues of $9.92 billion for the quarter. The revenue growth was based on volume-driven growth from Mounjaro, Verzenio, Zepbound, Jardiance, Taltz and Humalog, partially offset by decline in Trulicity. The increase in revenue reflects volume growth of 27 percent and 10 percent higher realized prices, partially offset by 1 percent unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates. The volume increase was primarily driven by growth from Mounjaro, Zepbound, Verzenio, Taltz and Jardiance, partially offset by the sale of rights for Baqsimi and declines in Trulicity. New products contributed $4.46 billion to revenue, led by Mounjaro and Zepbound. Growth Products revenue increased 3 percent to $5.05 billion, led by Verzenio, Taltz and Jardiance, largely offset by lower Trulicity sales.

Gross margin as a percent of revenue improved 250 basis points to 80.8 percent, primarily driven by favorable product mix and higher realized prices, partially offset by higher production costs. Looking ahead to fiscal 2024, Eli Lilly now projects earnings in a range of $15.10 to $15.60 per share and adjusted earnings in a range of $16.10 to $16.60 per share on revenues between $45.4 billion and $46.6 billion.
