Mylan’s second quarter performance was strong as the company has delivered or exceeded on expectations across all financial metrics, the company’s CEO Heather Bresch said in a press release Monday.
Bresch in addition said that, based upon the company’s strong execution against the plan, Mylan remains on track to deliver on its 2019 guidance.
Mylan CFO Ken Parks added that the company continues to generate strong cash flow with approximately $724 million of adjusted free cash flow in the second quarter of 2019, up 9% from the prior year and ahead of its expectations.

For the full year 2019, we are reaffirming our guidance ranges for total revenue of $11.5 billion to $12.5 billion, adjusted EPS guidance range of $3.80 to $4.80 and adjusted free cash flow range of $1.9 billion to $2.3 billion,” he said.
