‒ Q1 2022 Net Revenue of $498 million; GAAP Net Loss of $2 million; Diluted Loss per Share of $(0.01) ‒

‒ Adjusted EBITDA ⁽¹⁾ of $100 million includes $5 million of R&D milestone expense; Adjusted Diluted EPS ⁽¹⁾ of $0.12 ‒

‒ Maintaining 2022 Full Year Outlook ‒

BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMRX) (“Amneal” or the “Company”) announced its results today for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“We are very pleased with our first quarter results and the progress we have made to advance our growth strategy. With recent U.S. FDA approvals for our first two biosimilars, as well as the closing of our Saol Baclofen acquisition, Amneal is expanding in high growth areas, including biosimilars and injectables, which we expect to drive meaningful growth going forward. These important milestones, as well as our continued focus on advancing R&D initiatives, are diversifying our business as we work to fulfill our mission of bringing innovative and affordable medicines to patients and creating value for shareholders,” said Chirag and Chintu Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officers.

Net revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $498 million, an increase of 1% compared to $493 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by solid broad-based performance in Generics, including new product launches, and the expansion of AvKARE’s distribution channel, partially offset by the loss of exclusivity of Zomig® Nasal Spray.

Net loss attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was $2 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to a net income of $7 million in the first quarter of 2021. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, we will no longer exclude research and development milestone expenses from non-GAAP financial measures. In the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, R&D milestone expenses were $5 million and $11 million, respectively. Prior periods presented have been revised to reflect this change. Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ in the first quarter of 2022 was $100 million, a decrease of 13% compared to the first quarter of 2021, reflective of lower gross profit due to product mix and a tough comparison to the prior year. Adjusted diluted EPS⁽¹⁾ in the first quarter of 2022 was $0.12, compared to $0.17 in the first quarter of 2021.

Maintaining Full Year 2022 Financial Outlook

Amneal is maintaining its previously provided guidance.

Amneal’s 2022 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 and other gains and losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.

Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Forward-looking statements included herein speak only as of the date hereof and we undertake no obligation to revise or update such statements to reflect the occurrence of events or circumstances after the date hereof.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, we will no longer exclude research and development milestone expenses related to license and collaboration agreements from our non-GAAP financial measures and our line item components, including adjusted research and development, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share. Prior period adjusted results have been revised to reflect this change.

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per 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 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 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 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.
