Investor Alert: Kaplan Fox Investigates Elanco Animal Health For Potential Securities Fraud
NEW YORK, June 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Elanco Animal Health Incorporated ("Elanco" or the "Company") (NYSE: ELAN). A complaint has been filed on behalf of investors that purchased or acquired Elanco Animal securities between January 10, 2020 and May 6, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period").
On May 7, 2020, Elanco announced its first quarter 2020 financial results, including a revenue decline and a $0.12 loss per share. Elanco stated that revenue declined "9 percent due to a reduction of approximately $60 million in channel inventory driven by factors resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic." During the conference call, Elanco's CEO stated that "at the start of 2020, we consolidated our U.S. companion animal distributors from eight to four" and that "he personally established a monthly review meeting with each of them." Elanco expected "the four remaining distributors would need to increase their inventory levels to handle the larger volume going through their operations, offsetting the inventory draw-down in the eliminated distributors," but the consolidation was followed by destocking.
Following this news, Elanco's share price fell $3.05, or over 13%, to close at $19.88 per share on May 7, 2020.
