BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMRX) (“Amneal” or the “Company”) announced its results today for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

“Our solid third quarter results further validate our strategy for growth and value creation, focused on operational excellence and a robust innovation engine to strengthen and diversify Amneal,” said Chirag and Chintu Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officers. “We are pleased to be raising our adjusted EBITDA guidance for full year 2021, underscoring our continued strong business performance. We are also excited to announce the acquisition of Puniska, and we welcome the Puniska team to the Amneal family. This acquisition is a pivotal step that meaningfully enhances our injectables capabilities for the U.S. market and enables international expansion as we look to become a leading player in the global injectables market,” said Chirag and Chintu Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officers.

Net revenue in the third quarter of 2021 was $529 million, an increase of 2% compared to $519 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase was driven by Generic product launches and growth in our promoted Specialty products Rytary® and Unithroid®, partially offset by price erosion in our base business and slow demand at the start of the flu season.

Net loss attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was $4 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to a net loss of $9 million in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to growth in net revenue and gross profit, which was driven by strong gross margin improvement in our Generics segment and a reduction in impairment charges.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ in the third quarter of 2021 was $135 million, an increase of 19% compared to the third quarter of 2020, reflective of an increase in gross profit. Adjusted diluted EPS⁽¹⁾ in the third quarter of 2021 was $0.21, an increase of 31% from $0.16 in the third quarter of 2020, reflective mostly of growth in adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted cost of goods sold, adjusted selling general and administrative expense, and adjusted research and development expense, which are intended as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with U.S. General Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The calculation of non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion of all outstanding shares of class B Common Stock to shares of class A Common Stock.

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 operation 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 net income, diluted earnings per share, gross profit, gross margin, operating income, cost of goods sold, selling general and administrative expense, and research and development expense or any other 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.

Amneal’s full year 2021 estimates are based on management's current expectations, including with respect to prescription trends, pricing levels, inventory levels, the costs incurred and benefits realized of restructuring activities and the anticipated timing of future product launches and events. The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable GAAP measures 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 and other gains and losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP reported results for 2021.
