Elanco Animal Health (ELAN) amended its senior secured first-lien credit facility on October 31, 2025, executing Amendment No. 3 to refinance a portion of existing term debt and adjust covenants.

Insights

Elanco refinances debt, pushing key maturities to 2029/2032.

Elanco executed a multi-tranche refinancing totaling $1,100,000,000 (USD TLB), €400,000,000 (Euro TLA), and $540,000,000 (farm credit). Proceeds and cash on hand retired the term loan B due 2027, removing that near-term maturity and extending the debt ladder to 2029 and 2032.

The amendment also adjusts covenants and terms under the existing credit agreement. The business effect centers on maturity extension and facility diversification across USD, EUR, and farm credit lenders, administered by JPMorgan Chase Bank with Wilmington Trust as security trustee outside the U.S. and Canada.

Key reference dates are the new maturities—Euro tranche on April 30, 2029 and USD/farm credit on October 31, 2032. Actual balance sheet impact will be determined by the amended covenant framework and pricing in the executed agreement.
