概要
**ALEX:** Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown. I'm Alex, and I'm joined as always by my co-host Jordan. Today we're diving into Eli Lilly's first quarter 2026 results - and wow, what a quarter this was. Jordan, before we jump in, I need to mention that this podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice.

**JORDAN:** Thanks Alex. And you're absolutely right about this being a wow quarter. Lilly just posted some absolutely staggering numbers. We're talking about 56% revenue growth year-over-year, bringing in what appears to be massive incretin revenues. But what really caught my attention was their guidance raise - they bumped up their full-year revenue expectations by $2 billion to between $82 and $85 billion.
**ALEX:** That's incredible. Let me put that in perspective for our listeners - the midpoint of that guidance represents 28% growth for the full year. For a company of Lilly's size, that's just phenomenal. And the driving force here is clearly their GLP-1 portfolio - Mounjaro and Zepbound combined brought in $12.8 billion in global revenue just in Q1, contributing $6.7 billion of growth compared to last year.
**JORDAN:** What's fascinating is how this growth is playing out globally. We saw really strong international momentum for Mounjaro. In markets like Brazil and Korea, they're claiming around 60% market share. And here's something interesting - they mentioned that generic semaglutide entry in some markets like India actually seems to be stimulating overall market growth rather than hurting Lilly's position.
**ALEX:** That's a great point about the generics. CEO Dave Ricks made a really insightful comment during the Q&A about how this obesity market behaves differently from traditional pharma categories. He said that because so much of the business is out-of-pocket - 75% of ex-US Mounjaro business and a meaningful portion in the US - they see "quite expansionary volume" when they reduce prices. It's almost like the demand curve is more elastic than typical prescription drugs.
**JORDAN:** Exactly. And speaking of new developments, let's talk about Koundeo - their newly approved oral GLP-1. This is huge because it's the first new incretin medicine launched with obesity as the primary indication, not diabetes. They mentioned having over 20,000 patients treated already with about 80% being new to the class entirely.
**ALEX:** The Koundeo launch strategy is really interesting. They're taking a measured approach - they started with digital campaigns, moved to in-person physician promotion, and they're planning full-scale direct-to-consumer TV advertising in Q3. What I found telling was that they already have over 8,000 prescribers, with a third of them never having prescribed an oral GLP-1 before.
**JORDAN:** And the access piece is critical. They've secured commercial access at two of the three largest pharmacy benefit managers, effective mid-May. Plus, the Medicare Bridge program extension through 2027 could be a game-changer - we're talking about $50 monthly copays for seniors. When an analyst asked about Medicare activation, management indicated this will be a gradual build through 2026 and into 2027.
**ALEX:** Let's talk about their pipeline because they were incredibly busy on the R&D front. They announced four acquisitions this quarter - Orna Therapeutics for autoimmune CAR-T therapies, Centessa for sleep disorders, Colonia for cancer treatments, and Ajax for blood cancers. Plus they had positive Phase III data for multiple programs.
**JORDAN:** The retatrutide data particularly caught my eye. This is their triple agonist - GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon. In the TRANSCEND T2D1 trial, patients lost an average of 25 to 37 pounds while also
