ELAN had another strong qtr/guidance raise driven by a mix of better-thanexpected pet new product launches (mainly Zenrelia and Credelio Quattro) as well

as strong performance for US farm animal (Experior, cattle) and we are again

raising our estimates/PT on the stock. Both Zenrelia (which continues to gain share

and has now exceeded $100mm in revenues YTD) and Credelio Quattro (which

gained 4 pct pts of market share in Q2) exceeded expectations and we believe both

Zenrelia uptake accelerating with YTD revenues exceeding $100mm. In the

US, Zenrelia is increasingly used as a first line treatment (>40% of use) with market

markets, #1 in France) and Brazil. Net-net Zenrelia uptake is exceeding our

expectations and we exit the quarter again raising our estimates for the product (we

are now modeling $220mm in derm revenues in 2026 growing to $325mm in

2027).

Credelio Quattro also doing very well. Credelio Quattro gained 4 pct pts of
