PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The following graph compares the return on Lilly stock with that of the Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Stock Index and our peer groups for the years 2021 through 2025. The graph assumes that, on the last business day of 2020, a person invested $100 each in Lilly stock, the S&P 500 Stock Index, and each of the peer groups' collective common stock. The graph measures total shareholder return, which takes into account both stock price and dividends. It assumes that dividends paid by a company are immediately reinvested in that company's stock.
