BRIDGEWATER, N.J. / Apr 17, 2023 / Business Wire / Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMRX) (“Amneal” or the “Company”) announced certain unaudited preliminary financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. The Company is also affirming financial guidance for the year ending December 31, 2023, which was previously issued on March 2, 2023. The Company plans to report actual first quarter 2023 financial results on May 5, 2023.
Unaudited Preliminary Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2023
Based on preliminary financial information, Amneal expects to report:
“We are extremely pleased with the start of 2023 with strong double-digit top line and adjusted EBITDA growth and reduced net debt. We are tracking well across the key vectors of our strategy to drive sustainable growth, higher profitability, and reduce debt over time. In Generics, our large portfolio of complex products continues to perform well, and we are seeing good uptake of our biosimilars which are on-track with our full year plan. In Specialty, we are pleased with the growth of Rytary and Unithroid, and are working closely with the U.S. FDA ahead of our June 30th PDUFA date for IPX203 in Parkinson’s. Finally, AvKARE continues to deliver double-digit revenue growth. In summary, our business continues to flourish, and we believe Amneal is well positioned for continued success,” said Chirag and Chintu Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officers.
The preliminary financial results are based on the most recent information available to the Company’s management. Such preliminary financial results are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ from these preliminary financial results due to the completion of the Company’s financial close procedures, final accounting adjustments and other developments that may arise between the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the time that financial results for the first quarter of 2023 are finalized, and such differences may be material. The preliminary financial results for the first quarter of 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved in any future period.

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.

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 diluted EPS and net debt, which are intended as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Net debt reflects current and long-term indebtedness less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Adjusted diluted EPS reflects diluted earnings per share based on adjusted net income, which is net (loss) income adjusted to (A) exclude (i) non-cash interest, (ii) GAAP (benefit from) provision for income taxes, (iii) amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) acquisition, site closure expenses, and idle facility expenses, (vi) restructuring and other charges, (vii) loss on refinancing, (viii) charges related to legal matters, including interest, net, (ix) asset impairment charges, (x) regulatory approval milestones, (xi) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (xii) (insurance recoveries) charges for property losses and associated expenses, and (xiii) 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.
