Elanco Animal Health Incorporated today announced it has closed the acquisition of Bayer Animal Health. The transaction, valued at $6.89 billion, expands Elanco’s scale and capabilities. It positions the company for the long term as a leader in the attractive, durable animal health industry.

Elanco became an independent company two years ago. According CEO Jeff Simmons, in this period Elanco has “made significant progress in creating a purpose-driven, independent global company dedicated to animal health – all while weathering the century’s most significant animal and human health pandemics: African Swine Fever and COVID-19. Delivering on the timely close of the acquisition and bringing momentum into Day 1 in this challenging environment underscores the deep capability and disciplined execution from both companies.”

“This milestone is another key step in Elanco’s journey. But, ultimately, today is about improving the lives of animals, people and improving the health of the planet. Pets and protein have never been more important,” Simmons said. “Food supply disruptions and increasing unemployment are driving food security  challenges around the world. At the same time, research shows increased time at home has changed the long-term relationship between pets and their owners, as pets increasingly provide valuable emotional support. We know making life better for animals, simply makes life better.”

This acquisition of Bayer Animal Health strengthens Elanco’s Innovation, Portfolio, Productivity (IPP) strategy, which the company has been executing on since before its IPO in 2018. Both companies come to closing with a disciplined focus on the strategy and diligent execution to drive momentum.
