Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMRX) (“Amneal” or the “Company”) announced its results today for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

“2022 was a year of solid execution and very good progress in advancing key strategic priorities marked by a robust cadence of new innovations in Generics, scaling our injectables portfolio, advancing our Specialty pipeline and entering the U.S. biosimilars market. Furthermore, we are creating the foundation for international expansion, primarily in Europe and India. We enter 2023 poised for continued momentum, including the upcoming IPX203 launch for Parkinson’s, continued biosimilars uptake, and key complex generics launches. Taken altogether, we expect these new growth drivers will build upon and significantly expand our reach in making healthy possible,” said Chirag and Chintu Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officers.

Net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $610 million, an increase of 14% compared to $537 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by Generic new product launches, expansion of the AvKARE distribution channel and strong performance of promoted Specialty products. Net loss attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was $4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to a net loss of $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $154 million, an increase of 26% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, reflective of stronger revenue performance and stable operating expenses. Diluted loss per share in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $0.03, a decrease of 25% from a loss of $0.04 for the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted diluted EPS⁽¹⁾ in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $0.23, an increase of 35% from $0.17 in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $2.21 billion, an increase of 6% compared to $2.09 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021. Revenue growth was driven by Generic new product launches, strong performance of key products including Rytary® and Unithroid®, and expansion of the AvKARE business. Net loss attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was $130 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to net income of $11 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 included a $263 million pre-tax charge for settlement of the Opana® anti-trust litigation. Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $514 million, an increase of $2 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, reflective of revenue growth offset by lower adjusted gross margin due to unfavorable product mix and investments to drive upcoming new product launches. Diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $0.86 compared to diluted income per share of $0.07 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Adjusted diluted EPS⁽¹⁾ in the year ended December 31, 2022 was $0.68, a decrease of 13% from $0.78 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

2023 Financial Guidance

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 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, 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.

As previously disclosed, beginning in the first quarter of 2022, we 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. Refer to our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2022 for a full reconciliation of previously reported non-GAAP results to revised non-GAAP results for prior periods.

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.
