‒ Adjusted EBITDA ⁽¹⁾ of $116 million; Adjusted Diluted EPS ⁽¹⁾ of $0.12 ‒

‒ Affirming 2023 Full Year Guidance ‒

BRIDGEWATER, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMRX) (“Amneal” or the “Company”) announced its actual results today for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“We are very pleased with our strong first quarter results and start to 2023. We are confident in our continued momentum driven by the broad-based strength of our diverse and increasingly complex generics portfolio, uptake of our new biosimilars, expansion of our AvKARE business, and the continued growth and potential of our specialty portfolio. Today we are also happy to announce the successful inspection of our fourth and largest injectables facility, and we are working closely with the U.S. FDA ahead of our June 30th PDUFA date for IPX203 in Parkinson’s. These are key building blocks and good indicators of our continued success as we execute our strategy, drive sustainable long-term growth, reduce debt, and create value for all of our stakeholders,” said Chirag and Chintu Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officers.

Net revenue in the first quarter of 2023 was $558 million, an increase of 12% compared to $498 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by growth across all three business segments with strong performance across our complex Generics portfolio, growth of Rytary® and Unithroid® in Specialty, and continued expansion of AvKARE’s distribution channel.

Net loss attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was $7 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to a net loss of $2 million in the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ in the first quarter of 2023 was $116 million, an increase of 16% compared to the first quarter of 2022, reflective of robust revenue performance and favorable operating expenses. Diluted loss per share in the first quarter of 2023 was $0.05 compared to a loss of $0.01 for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted diluted EPS⁽¹⁾ in both the first quarter of 2023 and 2022 was $0.12.

⁽¹⁾ See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Amneal’s 2023 estimates are based on management’s current expectations, including with respect to prescription trends, pricing levels, the timing of future product launches, the costs incurred and benefits realized of restructuring activities, and our long-term strategy. The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable measures in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. The items include, but are not limited to, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses and benefits, asset impairments, legal settlements, and other gains and losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted diluted EPS, which are intended as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted diluted EPS reflects diluted earnings per share based on adjusted net income, which is net loss adjusted to (A) exclude (i) non-cash interest, (ii) GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) acquisition, site closure expenses, and idle facility expenses, (vi) restructuring and other charges, (vii) charges (credits) related to legal matters, including interest, net, (viii) asset impairment charges, (ix) regulatory approval milestone, (x) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (xi) other, (xii) net income attributable to non-controlling interests not associated with class B common stock, and (B) include non-GAAP provision for income taxes. Non-GAAP adjusted EPS is calculated assuming the weighted average diluted shares outstanding of class A and class B common stock under the if-converted method.

Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations and to better understand its business because they facilitate a comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance relative to its performance based on results calculated under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures also isolate the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance and eliminate certain charges that management believes do not reflect the Company’s operations and underlying operational performance. The compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors also uses certain of these measures to evaluate management’s performance and set its compensation. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures also provide useful information to investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and operating results facilitates an evaluation of the financial performance of the Company and its operations on a consistent basis. Providing this information therefore allows investors to make independent assessments of the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and trends while viewing the information through the eyes of management.

These non-GAAP measures are subject to limitations. The non-GAAP measures presented in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because other companies may not calculate one or more in the same manner. Additionally, the non-GAAP performance measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements; do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and do not reflect interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt. Further, our historical adjusted results are not intended to project our adjusted results of operations or financial position for any future period. To compensate for these limitations, management presents and considers these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP results; no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation from or as alternatives to any measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Readers should review the reconciliations included below, and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.

A reconciliation of each historical non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is set forth below.
