Eli Lilly and Company (the Company or
Registrant) was incorporated in 1901 in Indiana to
succeed to the drug manufacturing business founded in
Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1876 by Colonel Eli Lilly. We
discover, develop, manufacture, and sell products in one
significant business segmentpharmaceutical products. We
also have an animal health business segment, whose operations
are not material to our financial statements.
Our mission is to make medicines that help people live longer,
healthier, more active lives. Our strategy is to create value
for all our stakeholders by accelerating the flow of innovative
new medicines that provide improved outcomes for individual
patients. Most of the products we sell today were discovered or
developed by our own scientists, and our success depends to a
great extent on our ability to continue to discover, develop,
and bring to market innovative new medicines.
We manufacture and distribute our products through facilities in
the United States, Puerto Rico, and 17 other countries. Our
products are sold in approximately 128 countries.
