CLAIM #36908 · Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) · 2024Q3 earnings call · Oct 30, 2024 · due Mar 31, 2025
“And I think that's really about Q4, but even more about Q1 of 2025 and continuing acceleration there.”
David Ricks · CEO
In context
“ue or accelerate as we add U.S. stimulation to that demand, which, as Patrik said, we're going to begin doing here really mid-November in earnest. And ex-U.S. demand is another factor that affects sales and that too we moved out launches by about a quarter just to make sure we had enough buffer. So when customers want a prescription, they could get it filled reliably. And I think that's an important thing for us to keep that trust going forward. So at a macro-level, is there a demand problem here? No, actually. Is there a supply problem? No, although if we had unlimited demand, there would be. So we're carefully gating those two things together. As we escalate supply in Q4, which, as I mentioned, we're going to beat the 50% growth number, you'll see us grow our demand stimulation as well. And I think that's really about Q4, but even more about Q1 of 2025 and continuing acceleration there. So business is super-healthy. We feel good about where we are. Obviously, there was some choppiness this quarter, but I think underlying growth here is as strong as we would have hoped. Joe Fletcher: Thanks, Dave. Paul, next question? Operator: The next question will be from Evan Seigerman from BMO Capital. Evan, your line is live. Evan Seigerman: Hi guys. Thank you so much for the question and Joe, congrats on your new job. I want to touch on compounding. Given the headlines, do you believe that compounded drugs are impacting demand? And secondarily, how do you frame kind of the FDA's waffling on the shortage list as it relates to compounding? It seems that this has been a hot button issue, I'd love your perspective. Thank you so much. Joe Fletcher: Thanks, Evan. Yes, a hot topic indeed.”
