Exhibit 99.1

AMNEAL REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS

‒ Q3 2020 Net Revenue of $519 million; GAAP Net Loss of $(9) million; Diluted Loss per Share of $(0.06) ‒

‒ Q3 2020 Adjusted Net Income (1) of $49 million; Adjusted EBITDA (1) of $114 million; Adjusted Diluted EPS (1) of $0.16‒

‒ Updating 2020 Full Year Financial Outlook ‒

BRIDGEWATER, NJ, November 6, 2020 - Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMRX) (the “Company”) announced its results today for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

“Amneal delivered another strong quarter, providing further evidence that our Amneal 2.0 strategy is positioning the company for sustained growth,” said Chirag and Chintu Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officers. “While the COVID pandemic continues to affect some aspects of the business, we continue to focus on execution, improving the productivity of our operations and building a strong, diverse platform of generic and specialty pharmaceuticals. We appreciate the hard work of our employees in achieving these results and supporting Amneal’s mission of bringing affordable medicines to patients.”

Net revenue in the third quarter of 2020 was $519 million, an increase of 37% compared to $378 million in the third quarter of 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to $90 million from our AvKARE acquisition, and $51 million from new product launches including EluRyng and Sucralfate Oral Suspension as well as broad generic volume growth, partially offset by competition to Levothyroxine Sodium Tabs and Diclofenac Gel 1%. Net loss attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was $9 million in the third quarter compared to a net loss of $265 million in prior year period. The year over year improvement was primarily driven by lower intangible asset impairment and restructuring charges, lower interest and taxes, favorable foreign exchange, and stronger underlying performance, partially offset by the prior year benefit of the gain from the reduction in the tax receivable agreement liability. Diluted loss per share in the third quarter was $0.06 compared to a loss of $2.03 in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the third quarter of 2020 was $114 million, an increase of 60% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher Generic adjusted gross profit driven primarily by new launches and the addition of AvKARE. Adjusted net income(1) of $49 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $12 million in prior year period, reflected higher adjusted EBITDA and lower interest expense, offset in part by higher adjusted taxes. Adjusted diluted EPS(1) in the third quarter of 2020 was $0.16 compared to $0.04 in the prior year period.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein, regarding matters that are not historical facts, may be forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995).

The reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations of future events. If the underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from the expectations and projections of the Company. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, manufacturing, supply chain, financial results, financial condition, and planned capital expenditures and national and international economies;

the risk that our goodwill may become impaired, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations; the impact of global economic conditions; our ability to successfully develop, license, acquire and commercialize new products on a timely basis; our ability to obtain exclusive marketing rights for our products; the competition we face in the pharmaceutical industry from brand and generic drug product companies, and the impact of that competition on our ability to set prices; our ability to manage our growth through acquisitions and otherwise; our dependence on the sales of a limited number of products for a substantial portion of our total revenues; the risk of product liability and other claims against us by consumers and other third parties; risks related to changes in the regulatory environment, including United States federal and state laws related to healthcare fraud abuse and health information privacy and security and changes in such laws; changes to FDA product approval requirements; risks related to federal regulation of arrangements between manufacturers of branded and generic products; the impact of healthcare reform and changes in coverage and reimbursement levels by governmental authorities and other third-party payers; the continuing trend of consolidation of certain customer groups; our reliance on certain licenses to proprietary technologies from time to time; our dependence on third-party suppliers and distributors for raw materials for our products and certain finished goods; our dependence on third-party agreements for a portion of our product offerings; our ability to identify and make acquisitions of or investments in complementary businesses and products on advantageous terms; legal, regulatory and legislative efforts by our brand competitors to deter competition from our generic alternatives; the significant amount of resources we expend on research and development; our substantial amount of indebtedness and our ability to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness in the future, and the impact of interest rate fluctuations on such indebtedness; and the high concentration of ownership of our Class A Common Stock and the fact that we are controlled by the Amneal Group. The forward-looking statements contained herein are also subject generally to other risks and uncertainties that are described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in its subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. 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

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income and adjusted cost of goods sold, 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 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.

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 GAAP reported results.

A reconciliation of each historical non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is set forth below.

Generics net revenue was $342 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $51 million or 17% when compared with the same period in 2019. The year over year increase was primarily due to new product launches of $51 million, including EluRyng and Sucralfate Oral Solution, and growth in Generic volume from new commercial initiatives, partially offset by competition to Levothyroxine Sodium Tabs and Diclofenac Gel 1%.

Generics gross margin was 23.5% compared to 8.3% for the prior year period. The increase primarily related to new product launches, which contributed $36 million of gross margin growth, the impact of new volume won during 2020 and operational efficiencies and product mix, which more than offset the pricing pressures on Levothyroxine Sodium Tabs and Diclofenac Gel 1% and a $17 million decline in intangible asset impairment charges. Generics adjusted gross margin was 37% compared to 30% in the prior-year period. The increase primarily related to new product launches which contributed $36 million of gross margin growth, the impact of new volume won during 2020 and operational efficiencies and product mix, which more than offset the pricing pressures on Levothyroxine Sodium Tabs and Diclofenac Gel 1%.

Generics operating income was $26 million compared to an operating loss of $80 million in the prior year period. The improvement primarily reflected increased gross margin, an in-process research and development impairment charge of $23 million in the prior year period, a decrease in charges related to legal matters of $15 million and a decrease in restructuring and other charges of $15 million, partially offset by an increase in research and development, primarily associated with milestone achievements and upfront license payments. Generics adjusted operating income for the third quarter of 2020 was $82 million compared to $40 million for the prior year period due to improved gross margin.
