Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s other publicly available documents contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Management and representatives of Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) also may from time to time make forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and reflect management’s assumptions, views, plans, objectives and projections about the future. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “plans,” “expects,” “will,” “anticipates,” “estimates” and other words of similar meaning in conjunction with, among other things: discussions of future operations; expected operating results and financial performance; impact of planned acquisitions and dispositions; our strategy for growth; product development; regulatory approvals; market position and expenditures.
Because forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding future events, they are subject to uncertainties, risks and changes that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Investors should realize that if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or other factors or circumstances change, our actual results and financial condition could vary materially from expectations and projections expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Investors are therefore cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements.
Summary of Material Risks
Risks and uncertainties that make an investment in the Company speculative or risky or that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to:
•our ability to successfully develop, license, acquire and commercialize new products on a timely basis;
•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 obtain exclusive marketing rights for our products;
•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 continuing trend of consolidation of certain customer groups;

•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 U.S. federal and state laws related to healthcare fraud abuse and health information privacy and security and changes in such laws;
•changes to Food and Drug Administration product approval requirements;
•the impact of healthcare reform and changes in coverage and reimbursement levels by governmental authorities and other third-party payers;
•our dependence on third-party agreements for a portion of our product offerings;
•the impact of global economic conditions, including any economic effects stemming from adverse geopolitical events, an economic downturn and inflation rates;
•our ability to identify, make and integrate acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses and products on advantageous terms;
•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;
•our obligations under a tax receivable agreement may be significant;
•the high concentration of ownership of our Class A common stock and the fact that we are controlled by a group of stockholders, together with their affiliates and certain assignees, who owned Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC when it was a private company; and
2
•such other factors as may be set forth elsewhere in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, particularly in the section 1A. Risk Factors and our public filings with the SEC.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, should be read in conjunction with Amneal’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been omitted from the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2022, cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and the results of its operations, its comprehensive income and its changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 2021 was derived from the Company’s audited annual financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Except for the updates included in this Note, the accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported financial position at the date of the financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The following are some, but not all, of such estimates: the determination of chargebacks, sales returns, rebates, billbacks, valuation of intangible and other assets acquired in business combinations, allowances for accounts receivable, accrued liabilities, initial and subsequent valuation of contingent consideration recognized in business combinations, stock-based compensation, valuation of inventory balances, the determination of useful lives for product rights and the assessment of expected cash flows used in evaluating goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides elective amendments for entities that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference
9
LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), to expand and clarify the scope of Topic 848 to include derivative instruments on discounting transactions. The amendments in this ASU are effective in the same timeframe as ASU 2020-04. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The update will generally result in an entity recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at amounts consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date rather than at fair value. The new standard is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions
Saol Baclofen Franchise Acquisition
On December 30, 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with certain entities affiliated with Saol International Limited (collectively, “Saol”), a private specialty pharmaceutical company, pursuant to which it agreed to acquire Saol’s baclofen franchise, including Lioresal®, LYVISPAH™, and a pipeline product under development (the “Saol Acquisition”). The Saol Acquisition expands the Company’s commercial institutional and specialty portfolio in neurology while adding commercial infrastructure in advance of its entry into the biosimilar institutional market. The transaction closed on February 9, 2022.
Consideration for the Saol Acquisition included $84.7 million, paid at closing with cash on hand, and contingent royalty payments based on annual net sales for certain acquired assets, beginning in 2023. Cash paid at closing included $1.1 million for inventory acquired in excess of the normalized level, as defined in the asset purchase agreement (working capital adjustment).
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred $0.1 million in transaction costs associated with the Saol Acquisition, which was recorded in acquisition, transaction-related and integration expenses.
The Saol Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, with Amneal as the accounting acquirer. The preliminary purchase price was calculated as follows (in thousands):
| Cash | $ | ||||
Contingent consideration (royalties) (1) | |||||
| Fair value of consideration transferred | $ | ||||
(1)The estimated fair value of contingent consideration on the acquisition date was $8.8 million and was based on significant Level 3 inputs that were not observable in the market. Key assumptions included the discount rate, projected year of payments and expected net product sales. Refer to Note 10. Fair Value Measurements, for additional information on the methodology and determination of this liability.

The following is a summary of the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Saol Acquisition (in thousands):

| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | |||||
| Goodwill | |||||
| Intangible assets | |||||
| Total assets acquired | |||||
| Accounts payable and accrued expenses | |||||
| Fair value of consideration transferred | $ | ||||
The acquired intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows (in thousands):
Fair Value | Weighted-Average Useful Life (in years) | ||||||||||
| Marketed product rights | $ | ||||||||||
The estimated fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was determined using the “income approach,” which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. The assumptions, including the expected projected cash flows, utilized in the purchase price allocation and in determining the purchase price were based on management's best estimates as of the closing date of the Saol Acquisition on February 9, 2022.
Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations included the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset (including net revenues, cost of sales, selling and marketing costs and working capital / contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, the potential regulatory and commercial success risks, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream, as well as other factors. The underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis may change; accordingly, for these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized. Of the total goodwill acquired in connection with the Saol Acquisition, $5.2 million was allocated to the Company’s Generics segment and $2.4 million was allocated to the Specialty segment.
From the acquisition date of February 9, 2022 to March 31, 2022, the Saol Acquisition contributed net revenues and an operating loss of $2.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
Puniska Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.
On November 2, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Puniska Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. (“Puniska”), a privately held manufacturer of parenteral and injectable drugs in India, and land in a transaction valued at $93.0 million (the “Puniska Acquisition”). Upon execution of the agreement, the Company paid $72.9 million with cash on hand for approximately 74 % of the equity interests of Puniska. Upon approval of the transaction by the government of India in March 2022, the Company paid, with cash on hand, an additional $1.7 million for the remaining 26 % of the equity interests of Puniska (included in redeemable non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021) and $14.2 million for the satisfaction of a preexisting payable to the sellers (included in related party payables-short term in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021). During December 2021, the Company paid $4.3 million with cash on hand for land associated with the Puniska Acquisition.

Kashiv Specialty Pharmaceuticals, LLC Acquisition
On January 11, 2021, the Company and Kashiv Biosciences, LLC (a related party, see Note 15. Related Party Transactions) (“Kashiv”) entered into a definitive agreement for Amneal to acquire a 98 % interest in Kashiv Specialty Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“KSP”), a subsidiary of Kashiv focused on the development of innovative drug delivery platforms, novel 505(b)(2) drugs and complex generics (the “KSP Acquisition”).
On April 2, 2021, the Company completed the KSP Acquisition. Under the terms of the transaction, the cash portion of the consideration was $104.5 million, comprised of a purchase price of $100.1 million (including initial and deferred consideration) and a working capital adjustment of $4.4 million. The initial cash purchase price was funded by cash on hand. For further detail of the purchase price, refer to the table below.
Transaction costs associated with the KSP Acquisition were $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (none for the three months ended March 31, 2022).
The KSP Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, with Amneal as the accounting acquirer.

| Fair value consideration transferred | $ | ||||
(1)The deferred consideration was stated at the fair value estimate of $30.1 million, which is the $30.5 million contractually stated amount less a $0.4 million discount. The deferred consideration consisted of $30.0 million, which the Company paid in January 2022 and $0.5 million, which the Company expects to pay during the three months ending June 30, 2022. As the deferred consideration is non-interest bearing, the Company, using guideline companies and market borrowings with comparable risk profiles, discounted the deferred consideration at 1.7 % over the period from April 2, 2021 to the maturity dates, for a fair value of $30.1 million on the date of acquisition. This discount was amortized to interest expense over the life of the deferred consideration utilizing the effective interest rate method.
(2) Kashiv is eligible to receive up to an additional $8.0 million in contingent payments upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones and potential royalty payments from high single-digits to mid double-digits, depending on the amount of aggregate annual net sales for certain future pharmaceutical products. The estimated fair value of contingent consideration on the acquisition date was $5.7 million and was based on significant Level 3 inputs that were not observable in the market. Key assumptions included the discount rate, probability of achievement of milestones, projected year of payments and expected net product sales. Refer to Note 10. Fair Value Measurements, for additional information on the methodology and determination of this liability.
(3) Represented trade accounts payable due to KSP that were effectively settled upon closing of the KSP Acquisition.
The following is a summary of the purchase price allocation for the KSP Acquisition (in thousands):

The acquired intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows (in thousands):
Fair Value | Weighted-Average Useful Life (in years) | ||||||||||
| Marketed product rights | $ | ||||||||||
The estimated fair value of the in-process research and development and identifiable intangible assets was determined using the “income approach”, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. The assumptions, including the expected projected cash flows, utilized in the purchase price allocation and in determining the purchase price were based on management’s best estimates as of the closing date of the KSP Acquisition on April 2, 2021.
Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations included the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D, selling and marketing costs and working capital / contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, the potential regulatory and commercial success risks, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream, as well as other factors. The underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis may change; accordingly, for these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred and fair value of the non-controlling interests over the net assets recognized. Of the total goodwill acquired in connection with the KSP Acquisition, $40.8 million was allocated to the Company’s Generics segment and $2.7 million was allocated to the Specialty segment.

6. (Loss) Earnings per Share
Basic (loss) earnings per share of the Company’s class A common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share of class A common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of class A common stock outstanding, adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.
The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share of class A common stock (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(2)Shares of class B common stock are considered potentially dilutive shares of class A common stock. Shares of class B common stock have been excluded from the computations of diluted (loss) earnings per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive under the if-converted method.
(3)Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of class A common stock because the exercise price of the stock options exceeded the average market price of the class A common stock during the periods (out-of-the-money.
7. Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s (benefit from) provision for income taxes and effective tax rates were $(3.5 ) million and 34.9 %, respectively, compared to $0.4 million and 2.4 %, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The period-over-period change in the (benefit from) provision for income taxes was primarily related to an Internal Revenue Service examination and Joint Committee review of the 2012-2018 federal income tax returns, which enabled the Company to recognize previously unrecognized tax benefits.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company established a valuation allowance based upon all available objective and verifiable evidence both positive and negative, including historical levels of pre-tax income (loss) both on a consolidated basis and tax reporting entity basis, legislative developments, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future pre-tax income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. The Company estimated that as of September 30, 2019, it had generated a cumulative consolidated three-year pre-tax loss, which continued as of December 31, 2021. As a result of the initial September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2021 analyses, the Company determined that it remained more likely than not that it would not realize the benefits of its gross deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) and, therefore, maintained its valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2021, this valuation allowance was $416.6 million, and it reduced the carrying value of these gross DTAs, net of the impact of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, to zero. As of March 31, 2022, based on its evaluation of available positive and negative evidence, the Company maintained its position with respect to the valuation allowance.
The Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) for which it is generally required to pay the other holders of Amneal Common Units 85 % of the applicable tax savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax that it is deemed to realize as a result of certain tax attributes of their Amneal Common Units sold to the Company (or exchanged in a taxable sale) and that are created as a result of (i) the sales of their Amneal Common Units for shares of class A common stock and (ii) tax benefits attributable to payments made under the TRA. In conjunction with the valuation allowance recorded on the DTAs at September 30, 2019, the Company reversed the TRA liability.
The projection of future taxable income involves significant judgment. Actual taxable income may differ from the Company’s estimates, which could significantly impact the timing of the recognition of the contingent liability under the TRA. As noted
17
above, the Company has determined it is more-likely-than-not it will be unable to utilize all of its DTAs subject to the TRA; therefore, as of March 31, 2022, the Company has not recognized the contingent liability under the TRA related to the tax savings it may realize from common units sold or exchanged. If utilization of these DTAs becomes more likely than not in the future, at such time, Amneal will recognize a liability under the TRA as a result of basis adjustments under Internal Revenue Code Section 754. As of March 31, 2022, the contingent liability associated with the TRA was approximately $206.3
The timing and amount of any payments under the TRA may vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing and number of Amneal Common Units sold or exchanged for the Company's class A common stock, the price of the Company's class A common stock on the date of sale or exchange, the timing and amount of the Company's taxable income, and the tax rate in effect at the time of realization of the Company's taxable income (the TRA liability is determined based on a percentage of the corporate tax savings from the use of the TRA's attributes). Further sales or exchanges occurring subsequent to March 31, 2022 could result in future Amneal tax deductions and obligations to pay 85 % of such benefits to the holders of Amneal Common Units. These obligations could be incremental to and substantially larger than the approximate $206.3
Any future recognition of these TRA liabilities will be recorded through charges in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. However, if the tax attributes are not utilized in future years, it is reasonably possible no amounts would be paid under the TRA. Should the Company determine that a DTA with a valuation allowance is realizable in a subsequent period, the related valuation allowance will be reversed and if a resulting TRA payment is determined to be probable, a corresponding TRA liability will be recorded.

10. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. To measure fair value, the Company uses the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques and also includes instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level of classification for each reporting period. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):
| Fair Value Measurement Based on | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Contingent consideration liability (3) | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
(1)The fair value measurement of the Company’s interest rate swap classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy is a model-derived valuation as of a given date in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets including
19
certain financial information and certain assumptions regarding past, present, and future market conditions. Refer to Note 11. Financial Instruments for information on the Company's interest rate swap.
(2)These liabilities are recorded at the value of the amount owed to the plan participants, with changes in value recognized as compensation expense. The calculation of the deferred compensation plan obligation is derived from observable market data by reference to hypothetical investments selected by the participants.
(3)The fair value measurement of contingent consideration liabilities has been classified as Level 3 recurring liabilities as the valuations require judgment and estimation of factors that are not currently observable in the market. If different assumptions were used for various inputs, the estimated fair values could be higher or lower than what the Company determined. As of March 31, 2022, contingent consideration liabilities of $6.1 million associated with the KSP Acquisition and $8.8 million associated with the Saol Acquisition were recorded within related party payables - long term and other long-term liabilities, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, a contingent consideration liability of $5.9 million associated with the KSP Acquisition was recorded within related party payables - long term. Refer to Note 3. Acquisitions for additional information related to contingent consideration associated with the KSP Acquisition and the Saol Acquisition.
There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Contingent consideration
On April 2, 2021, the Company completed the KSP Acquisition, which provides for contingent milestone payments of up to an aggregate of $8.0 million (undiscounted) upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones, as well as contingent royalty payments that are tiered depending on the aggregate annual net sales for certain future pharmaceutical products.
On February 9, 2022, the Company completed the Saol Acquisition, which provides for contingent royalty payments that are tiered depending on the aggregate annual net sales for certain pharmaceutical products, beginning in 2023.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the contingent consideration liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 | ||||||||||||||
| Balance, beginning of period | $ | |||||||||||||
| Addition due to the Saol Acquisition | ||||||||||||||
| Change in fair value during the period | ||||||||||||||
| Balance, end of period | $ | |||||||||||||
The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration liabilities were determined based on significant unobservable inputs, including the discount rate, estimated probabilities of success, timing of achieving specified regulatory milestones and the estimated amount of future sales of the acquired products. The contingent consideration liabilities were estimated by applying a probability-weighted expected payment model for contingent milestone payments and Monte Carlo simulation models for contingent royalty payments, which were then discounted to present value. Changes to the fair values of the contingent consideration liabilities can result from changes to one or a number of the aforementioned inputs. If different assumptions were used for various inputs, the estimated fair value could be higher or lower than what the Company determined.

The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our contingent consideration liabilities as of March 31, 2022:

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The Term Loan, as defined in Note 17. Debt in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, is in the Level 2 category within the fair value level hierarchy. The fair value was determined using market data for valuation. The fair value of the Term Loan at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was approximately $2.6
The Rondo Term Loan, as defined in Note 17. Debt in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, is in the Level 2 category within the fair value level hierarchy. The fair value of the Rondo Term Loan at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $136.7 million and $139.0 million, respectively.
The Sellers Notes are in the Level 2 category within the fair value level hierarchy. The carrying value of the Sellers Notes at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $38.3 million and $38.0 million, respectively, approximated their fair values.
Refer to Note 17. Debt in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for detailed information about our indebtedness, including definitions of terms.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
There were no non-recurring fair value measurements during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
11. Financial Instruments
The Company uses an interest rate swap to manage its exposure to market risks for changes in interest rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents may fluctuate as interest rates change; however, due to their relatively short maturities, the Company does not hedge these assets or their investment cash flows because the impact of interest rate risk is not material. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its debt obligations. The Company's debt obligations consist of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt instruments. The Company's primary objective is to achieve the lowest overall cost of funding while managing the variability in cash outflows within an acceptable range. In order to achieve this objective, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap on the Term Loan.
Interest Rate Derivative – Cash Flow Hedge
The interest rate swap involves the periodic exchange of payments without the exchange of underlying principal or notional amounts. In October 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate lock agreement for a total notional amount of $1.3 billion
21
to hedge part of the Company's interest rate exposure associated with the variability in future cash flows from changes in the one-month LIBOR associated with the Term Loan.
As of March 31, 2022, the total gain, net of income taxes, related to the Company’s cash flow hedge was $42.2 million, of which $20.8 million was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss and $21.4 million was recognized in non-controlling interests.

Accordingly, the Company, in certain instances, may be contractually obligated to make potential future development, regulatory, and commercial milestone, royalty and/or profit-sharing payments in conjunction with collaborative agreements or acquisitions that the Company has entered with third parties. The Company has also licensed certain technologies or intellectual property from various third parties. The Company is generally required to make upfront payments as well as other payments upon successful completion of regulatory or sales milestones. The agreements generally permit the Company to terminate the agreement with no significant continuing obligation. The Company could be required to make significant payments pursuant to these arrangements. These payments are contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events and, given the nature of these events, it is unclear when, if ever, the Company may be required to pay such amounts. Further, the timing of any future payment is not reasonably estimable. Refer to Note 5. Alliance and Collaboration for additional information. Certain of these arrangements are with related parties. Refer to Note 15. Related Party Transactions for additional information.

Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company's legal proceedings are complex, constantly evolving, and subject to uncertainty. As such, the Company cannot predict the outcome or impact of the legal proceedings set forth below. Additionally, the Company is subject to legal proceedings that are not set forth below. While the Company believes it has valid claims and/or defenses to the matters described below, the nature of litigation is unpredictable, and the outcome of the following proceedings could include damages, fines, penalties and injunctive or administrative remedies. For any proceedings where losses are probable and reasonably capable of estimation, the Company accrues for a potential loss. When the Company has a probable loss for which a reasonable estimate of the liability is a range of losses and no amount within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company records the loss at the low end of the range. While these accruals have been deemed reasonable by the Company’s management, the assessment process relies heavily on estimates and assumptions that may ultimately prove inaccurate or incomplete. Additionally, unforeseen circumstances or events may lead the Company to subsequently change its estimates and assumptions. Unless otherwise indicated below, the Company is unable at this time to estimate the possible loss or the range of loss, if any, associated with such legal proceedings and claims.
The Company currently intends to vigorously prosecute and/or defend these proceedings as appropriate. From time to time, however, the Company may settle or otherwise resolve these matters on terms and conditions that it believes to be in its best interest. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a net credit of $2.3 million consisting of an insurance recovery of $4 million, partially offset by charges for legal proceedings (none for the three months ended March 31, 2021). As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded total liabilities for legal proceedings of $59.7 million and $58.0 million, respectively, of which $37.0 million and $33.0 million, respectively, were recorded for securities class actions covered by insurance (refer to Securities Class Actions below and Note 17. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets for additional information). An insurance recovery will be recorded in the period in which it is probable the recovery will be realized.
The ultimate resolution of any or all claims, legal proceedings or investigations could differ materially from our estimate and have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and/or cash flows in any given accounting period, or on the Company's overall financial condition.
Additionally, the Company manufactures and derives a portion of its revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products in the opioid class of drugs and may therefore face claims arising from the regulation and/or consumption of such products.
The Company believes it has meritorious claims and defenses in these matters and intends to vigorously prosecute and defend them. However, because the ultimate outcome and costs associated with litigation are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict, except as otherwise stated, the Company is not in a position to predict the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or provide an estimate of the amount or range of potential loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome in any of these matters, and any adverse outcome could negatively affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and/or overall financial condition.
Medicaid Reimbursement and Price Reporting Matters
The Company is required to provide pricing information to state agencies, including agencies that administer federal Medicaid programs. Certain state agencies have alleged that manufacturers have reported improper pricing information, which allegedly caused them to overpay reimbursement costs. Other agencies have alleged that manufacturers have failed to timely file required reports concerning pricing information. Liabilities are periodically established by the Company for any potential claims or settlements of overpayment. The Company intends to vigorously defend against any such claims. The ultimate settlement of any potential liability for such claims may be higher or lower than estimated.
Patent Litigation
There is substantial litigation in the pharmaceutical, biological, and biotechnology industries with respect to the manufacture, use, and sale of new products which are the subject of conflicting patent and intellectual property claims. One or more patents often cover the brand name products for which the Company is developing generic versions and the Company typically has patent rights covering the Company’s branded products.
Under federal law, when a drug developer files an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) for a generic drug seeking approval before expiration of a patent which has been listed with the FDA as covering the brand name product, the developer
24
must certify its product will not infringe the listed patent(s) and/or the listed patent is invalid or unenforceable (commonly referred to as a “Paragraph IV” certification). Notices of such certification must be provided to the patent holder, who may file a suit for patent infringement within 45 days of the patent holder’s receipt of such notice. If the patent holder files suit within the 45-day period, the FDA can review and tentatively approve the ANDA, but generally is prevented from granting final marketing approval of the product until a final judgment in the action has been rendered in favor of the generic drug developer, or 30 months from the date the notice was received, whichever is sooner. The Company’s Generics segment is typically subject to patent infringement litigation brought by branded pharmaceutical manufacturers in connection with the Company’s Paragraph IV certifications seeking an order delaying the approval of the Company’s ANDA until expiration of the patent(s) at issue in the litigation.
The uncertainties inherent in patent litigation make the outcome of such litigation difficult to predict. For the Company’s Generics segment, the potential consequences in the event of an unfavorable outcome in such litigation include delaying the launch of its generic products until patent expiration. If the Company were to launch its generic product prior to successful resolution of a patent litigation, the Company could be liable for potential damages measured by the profits lost by the branded product manufacturer rather than the profits earned by the Company if it is found to infringe a valid, enforceable patent, or enhanced treble damages in cases of willful infringement. For the Company’s Specialty segment, an unfavorable outcome may significantly accelerate generic competition ahead of expiration of the patents covering the Company’s branded products. All such litigation typically involves significant expense.
The Company is generally responsible for all the patent litigation fees and costs associated with current and future products not covered by its alliance and collaboration agreements. The Company has agreed to share legal expenses with respect to third-party and Company products under the terms of certain of the alliance and collaboration agreements. The Company records the costs of patent litigation as expense in the period when incurred for products it has developed, as well as for products which are the subject of an alliance or collaboration agreement with a third-party.
Patent Defense Matter
Biogen International GMBH, et al. v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, et al. (Dimethyl Fumarate)
In June 2017, Biogen International GMBH (“Biogen”) filed suit against Amneal and various other generic manufacturers in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (“D. Del.”) alleging patent infringement based on the filing of ANDAs by Amneal and others for generic alternatives to Biogen’s Tecfidera® (dimethyl fumarate) capsules product (Biogen International GMBH, et al. v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, et al., No. 1:17-cv-00823-MN). Biogen also filed suit in June 2017 against Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Mylan”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia (“N.D. W. Va.”) relating to Mylan’s own ANDA for Tecfidera®. On June 18, 2020, the N.D. W. Va. court issued an order finding the sole Biogen patent at issue invalid. Biogen appealed the order (the “Mylan Appeal”) to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit”). On September 22, 2020, the D. Del. court entered judgment in favor of the defendants (including Amneal), adopting the finding of invalidity made by the N.D. W. Va. court. Biogen appealed the D. Del. Order (“the Amneal Consolidated Appeal”). On November 30, 2021, the Federal Circuit affirmed the N.D. W. Va. court’s order that Biogen’s patent is invalid, and, on March 23, 2022, issued a mandate in the Mylan Appeal. The Amneal Consolidated Appeal is currently stayed; Biogen intends to file a writ of certiorari in the Mylan Appeal and has requested that the Federal Circuit continue the stay in the Amneal Consolidated Appeal. Amneal has requested the Federal Circuit to apply the judgment in the Mylan Appeal to the Amneal Consolidated Appeal, which will dispose of the Amneal Consolidated Appeal.

Other Litigation Related to the Company’s Business
Opana ER® FTC Matters
On February 25, 2014, Impax received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) concerning its investigation into the drug Opana® ER and its generic equivalents. On March 30, 2016, the FTC filed a complaint against Impax, Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Endo”), and others in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleging that Impax and Endo violated antitrust laws when they entered into a June 2010 settlement agreement that resolved patent litigation in connection with the submission of Impax’s ANDA for generic original Opana® ER. In October 2016, the Court granted Impax’s motion to sever, formally terminating the suit against Impax. In January 2017, the FTC filed a Part 3 Administrative Complaint against Impax with similar allegations regarding the 2010 settlement. Following trial, in May 2018, the Administrative Law Judge ruled in favor of Impax and dismissed the Complaint in its entirety. FTC Complaint Counsel appealed the decision to the full Commission, and in March 2019, the FTC issued an Opinion & Order reversing the Administrative Law Judge’s decision. The Opinion & Order did not provide for any monetary damages but enjoined Impax from entering into future agreements containing certain terms. Impax filed a Petition for Review of the FTC’s Opinion & Order with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and on April 13, 2021, the Fifth Circuit issued a decision denying Impax’s Petition for Review, effectively affirming the FTC’s Opinion & Order. On September 10, 2021, Impax filed a petition for writ of certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court, which was denied in December 2021.
On July 12, 2019, the Company received a CID from the FTC concerning an August 2017 settlement agreement between Impax and Endo, which resolved a subsequent patent infringement and breach of contract dispute between the parties regarding the above-referenced June 2010 settlement agreement related to Opana® ER. The Company cooperated with the FTC regarding the CID. On January 25, 2021, the FTC filed a complaint against Endo, Impax and Amneal in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that the 2017 settlement violated antitrust laws. In April 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the FTC’s complaint, which the District Court granted on March 24, 2022. The District Court’s decision is still subject to appeal. The Company believes it has strong defenses to the FTC’s allegations and intends to vigorously defend the action, however, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of the litigation.
Opana ER® Antitrust Litigation
From June 2014 to April 2015, several complaints styled as class actions on behalf of direct purchasers and indirect purchasers (or end-payors) and several separate individual complaints on behalf of certain direct purchasers (the “opt-out plaintiffs”) of Opana ER® were filed against Endo and Impax.
In December 2014, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the “JPML”) transferred the actions to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (“N.D. Ill.”) for coordinated pretrial proceedings, as In Re: Opana ER Antitrust Litigation (MDL No. 2580) (“MDL”). In each case, the complaints allege that Endo engaged in an anticompetitive scheme by, among other things, entering into an anticompetitive settlement agreement with Impax to delay generic competition of Opana ER® and in violation of state and federal antitrust laws. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified monetary damages, and equitable relief, including disgorgement and restitution. On March 25, 2019, plaintiffs filed motions for class certification and served expert reports. Defendants’ oppositions to class certification and expert reports were filed and served on August 29, 2019. On April 15, 2020, defendants filed motions for summary judgment and each side moved to exclude certain opposing experts. On June 4, 2021, the MDL court granted the end-payor plaintiffs’ and direct purchaser plaintiffs’ class certification motions. Defendants appealed certification of the end-payor plaintiffs’ class, and on July 13, 2021, the Seventh Circuit granted defendants’ petition and remanded the case to the MDL to consider specific issues regarding uninjured class members. On August 11, 2021, the MDL court entered an order certifying end-payor plaintiffs’ class with an amended class definition. On June 4, 2021, the MDL also denied defendants’ summary judgment motion except as to certain state law claims and issued an opinion excluding certain experts of both sides. Trial is currently scheduled for June 2022.
Sergeants Benevolent Association Health & Welfare Fund v. Actavis, PLC, et. al.
In August 2015, a complaint styled as a class action was filed against Forest Laboratories (a subsidiary of Actavis plc) and numerous generic drug manufacturers, including Amneal, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York involving patent litigation settlement agreements between Forest Laboratories and the generic drug manufacturers concerning generic versions of Forest’s Namenda IR product. The complaint (as amended on February 12, 2016) asserts federal and state antitrust claims on behalf of indirect purchasers, who allege in relevant part that during the class period they indirectly purchased Namenda® IR or its generic equivalents in various states at higher prices than they would have absent the defendants’ allegedly unlawful anticompetitive conduct. Plaintiff seeks, among other things, unspecified monetary damages, and equitable relief, including disgorgement and restitution. On September 13, 2016, the Court stayed the indirect purchaser plaintiff’s claims pending factual development or resolution of claims brought in a separate, related complaint by direct
26
purchasers (in which the Company is not a defendant). On September 10, 2018, the Court lifted the stay and referred the case to the assigned Magistrate Judge for supervision of supplemental, non-duplicative discovery in advance of mediation to be scheduled in 2019. The parties thereafter participated in supplemental discovery, as well as supplemental motion-to-dismiss briefing. On December 26, 2018, the Court granted in part and denied in part motions to dismiss the indirect purchaser plaintiff’s claims. On January 7, 2019, Amneal, its relevant co-defendants, and the indirect purchaser plaintiff informed the Magistrate Judge that they had agreed to mediation, which occurred in April 2019. In June 2019, the Company reached a settlement with plaintiff, subject to Court approval. On September 10, 2019, the Court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement and indefinitely staying the case as to the settling defendants (including the Company). The settlement is now subject to final approval from the Court. The Company anticipates a final determination regarding approval to be made after a trial as to the plaintiff’s claims against the non-settling parties. A trial date has not yet been set. The amount of the settlement was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Attorney General of the State of Connecticut Interrogatories and Subpoena Duces Tecum
On July 14, 2014, Impax received a subpoena and interrogations from the State of Connecticut Attorney General ("Connecticut AG") concerning its investigation into sales of Impax's generic product, digoxin. According to the Connecticut AG, the investigation concerned whether anyone engaged in a contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade or commerce which had the effect of (i) fixing, controlling, or maintaining prices or (ii) allocating or dividing customers or territories relating to the sale of digoxin. Impax cooperated in the investigation and produced documents and information in response to the subpoena in 2014 and 2015. However, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of this investigation.
United States Department of Justice Investigations
On November 6, 2014, Impax disclosed that one of its sales representatives received a grand jury subpoena from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”). On March 13, 2015, Impax received a grand jury subpoena from the DOJ requesting the production of information and documents regarding the sales, marketing, and pricing of four generic prescription medications. Impax has cooperated in the investigation and produced documents and information in response to the subpoenas from 2014 to 2016. However, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of the investigation.
On April 30, 2018, Impax received a CID from the Civil Division of the DOJ (the “Civil Division”). The CID requests the production of information and documents regarding the pricing and sale of Impax’s pharmaceuticals and interactions with other generic pharmaceutical manufacturers regarding whether generic pharmaceutical manufacturers engaged in market allocation and price-fixing agreements, paid illegal remuneration, and caused false claims to be submitted to the Federal government. Impax has cooperated with the Civil Division’s investigation. However, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of the investigation.
In Re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation
Since March 2016, multiple putative antitrust class action complaints have been filed on behalf of direct purchasers, indirect purchasers (or end-payors), and indirect resellers, as well as individual complaints on behalf of certain direct and indirect purchasers, and municipalities (the “opt-out plaintiffs”) against manufacturers of generic drugs, including Impax and the Company. The complaints allege a conspiracy to fix, maintain, stabilize, and/or raise prices, rig bids, and allocate markets or customers for various generic drugs in violation of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and equitable relief, including disgorgement and restitution. The lawsuits have been consolidated in an MDL in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation, No. 2724, (E.D. Pa.)).
On May 10, 2019, Attorneys General of 43 States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut against various manufacturers and individuals, including the Company, alleging a conspiracy to fix, maintain, stabilize, and/or raise prices, rig bids, and allocate markets or customers for multiple generic drugs. On November 1, 2019, the State Attorneys General filed an Amended Complaint on behalf of nine additional states and territories. On June 10, 2020, Attorneys General of 46 States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Territory of Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia filed a new complaint against various manufacturers and individuals, including the Company, alleging a conspiracy to fix prices, rig bids, and allocate markets or customers for additional generic drugs. Plaintiff States seek unspecified monetary damages and penalties and equitable relief, including disgorgement and restitution. On September 9, 2021, the State Attorneys General filed an Amended Complaint on behalf of California in addition to the original Plaintiff States. On March 30, 2022, the State of Alabama voluntarily dismissed all of its claims in the May 10, 2019, and the June 10, 2020, actions against all defendants, including the
27
Company, without prejudice. These lawsuits have been incorporated into MDL No. 2724. Fact and document discovery in MDL No. 2724 are proceeding. In May 2021, the court issued a revised order designating certain plaintiffs’ complaints regarding two generic drug products to proceed as bellwether cases, along with the Plaintiff States’ June 10, 2020, complaint involving the Company. No final scheduling order has yet been issued for this matter.
On June 3, 2020, the Company and Impax were also named in a putative class action complaint filed in the Federal Court of Canada in Toronto, Ontario against numerous generic pharmaceutical manufacturers, on behalf of a putative class of individuals who purchased generic drugs in the private sector from 2012 to the present (Kathryn Eaton v. Teva Canada Limited, et. al., No. T-607-20). The complaint alleges price fixing, among other claims, and has not progressed to date.
Prescription Opioid Litigation
The Company and certain of its affiliates have been named as defendants in various matters filed in state and federal courts relating to the sale of prescription opioid pain relievers. Plaintiffs in these actions include state Attorneys General, county and municipal governments, hospitals, Indian tribes, pension funds, third-party payors, and individuals. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other forms of relief based on various causes of action, including negligence, public nuisance, unjust enrichment, and civil conspiracy, as well as alleged violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), state and federal controlled substances laws and other statutes. All cases involving the Company also name other manufacturers, distributors and retail pharmacies as defendants, and there are numerous other cases involving allegations relating to prescription opioid pain relievers against other manufacturers, distributors, and retail pharmacies in which the Company and its affiliates are not named.
Nearly all cases pending in federal district courts have been consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in an MDL in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (In re: National Prescription Opiate Litigation, Case No. 17-mdl-2804). There are approximately 914 cases in the MDL in which the Company or its affiliates have been named as defendants. The Company also is named in approximately 115 state court cases pending in eleven states. The Company has filed motions to dismiss in many of these cases. No firm trial dates have been set except in New Mexico (September 2022) and Alabama (January 2023). Following a decision by the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals in June 2021, the trial court in West Virginia set trial dates for April (manufacturers), which is in process, July (distributors), and September (pharmacies) 2022, but the Company is not a defendant in the manufacturer trial and there is no current information indicating that the Company will be involved in the July and September trials.
Securities Class Actions
On April 17, 2017, New York Hotel Trades Council & Hotel Association of New York City, Inc. Pension Fund filed an amended putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Impax and four former Impax officers alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 (Fleming v. Impax Laboratories Inc., et al., No. 4:16-cv-6557-HSG). Plaintiff alleges that Impax (1) concealed collusion with competitors to fix the price of the generic drug digoxin; (2) concealed anticipated erosion in the price of generic drug diclofenac; and (3) overstated the value of the generic drug budesonide. In June 2021, Plaintiffs (New York Hotel Trades Council & Hotel Association of New York City, Inc. Pension Fund, and Sheet Metal Workers’ Pension Fund of Southern California, Arizona and Nevada, who had filed various motions to intervene as a plaintiff in the case) and defendants reached a tentative agreement to settle all claims in the case for $33.0 million, subject to certain terms and conditions and subject to court approval. The proposed settlement is covered in full by insurance (refer to Note 17. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets). The district court entered an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement on November 22, 2021, and held a fairness hearing on March 31, 2022. An order on the motion for final approval is pending.
On December 18, 2019, Cambridge Retirement System filed a putative class action complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Somerset County against the Company and certain current or former officers alleging violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (Cambridge Retirement System v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., No. SOM-L-1701-19). Plaintiffs allege that the May 7, 2018, amended registration statement and prospectus issued in connection with the Amneal/Impax business combination was materially false and/or misleading because it failed to disclose that Amneal allegedly engaged in anticompetitive conduct to fix generic drug prices. Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification on October 30, 2020, and in April 2021 filed a second amended complaint including similar allegations regarding a November 2017 registration statement and prospectus issued in connection with the Amneal/ Impax business combination. The Company’s motion to dismiss and Plaintiff’s motion for class certification are currently pending. In February 2022, the parties reached a tentative agreement to settle the claims, subject to, among other things, the negotiation and court approval of a definitive settlement agreement. On March 28, 2022, the parties executed a settlement agreement for $25 million that remains subject to, among other things, final court approval. A hearing on final approval is set for the week of August 15, 2022. For the three
28
months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded an insurance recovery of $4.0 million related to this case (refer to Note 17. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets).
United States Department of Justice / Drug Enforcement Administration Subpoenas
On July 7, 2017, Amneal Pharmaceuticals of New York, LLC received an administrative subpoena issued by the Long Island, NY District Office of the Drug Enforcement Administration (the “DEA”) requesting information related to compliance with certain recordkeeping and reporting requirements. On or about April 12, 2019, and May 28, 2019, the Company received grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York (the “USAO”) relating to similar topics concerning the Company’s suspicious order monitoring program and its compliance with the Controlled Substances Act. The Company is cooperating with the USAO in responding to the subpoenas and has entered civil and criminal amended tolling agreements with the USAO through approximately November 14, 2022. It is not currently possible to determine the exact outcome of these investigations.
On March 14, 2019, Amneal received a subpoena (the “Subpoena”) from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida. The Subpoena requests information and documents generally related to the marketing, sale, and distribution of oxymorphone. The Company has cooperated and produced documents in response to the Subpoena. However, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of the underlying investigation.
On October 7, 2019, Amneal received a subpoena from the New York State Department of Financial Services seeking documents and information related to sales of opioid products in the state of New York. The Company is cooperating with the request and providing responsive information. It is not currently possible to determine the exact outcome of this investigation.
Ranitidine Litigation
The Company and its affiliates have been named as defendants, along with numerous other pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesale distributors, and retail pharmacy chains, in In re Zantac/Ranitidine NDMA Litigation (MDL No. 2924), pending in the Southern District of Florida. Plaintiffs allege that defendants failed to disclose and/or concealed the alleged inherent presence of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (or “NDMA”) in brand-name Zantac® or generic ranitidine and the alleged associated risk of cancer. Consolidated groups of (a) personal injury plaintiffs, (b) economic loss/medical monitoring class action plaintiffs, and (c) third-party payor plaintiffs have each filed master complaints against brand and generic pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and repackagers of ranitidine-containing products. The Company or its affiliates have been named in the three master complaints and approximately 316 personal injury short form complaints. On December 31, 2020, the Court dismissed in full the three master complaints against the generic manufacturers, including the Company and its affiliates, with leave to file amended complaints on certain claims relating to manufacturing, storage, and transportation. Plaintiffs filed amended complaints in February 2021, and Defendants filed various motions to dismiss the amended complaints in March 2021. On July 8, 2021, the MDL dismissed all claims against the generic drug manufacturers, including the Company and its affiliates, without leave to file further amended complaints. Plaintiffs have appealed the MDL court’s dismissal to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has consolidated the appeals of the personal injury cases.
On June 18, 2020, Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC was named in a lawsuit filed in New Mexico brought by the New Mexico Attorney General alleging claims of public nuisance, negligence, and violations of consumer protection laws against various brand and generic manufacturers and store-brand distributors of Zantac®/Ranitidine. Plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as abatement, medical monitoring, restitution, and injunctive relief. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on May 17, 2021, and filed a notice of supplemental authority based on the MDL court’s July 2021 dismissal order. The Court denied the motion on August 17, 2021. The Company filed a motion to dismiss based on lack of personal jurisdiction on January 26, 2022, which remains pending. On November 12, 2020, Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC was named in a public nuisance and consumer protection lawsuit filed in state court in Baltimore, Maryland, on behalf of the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore. Defendants removed the case to federal court and on April 1, 2021, the case was remanded to state court. On August 23, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, which was granted.
On October 1, 2021, Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, and Amneal Pharmaceuticals of New York, LLC, were named in a lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania state court along with twenty-five other defendants, including brand-name manufacturers, generic manufacturers, and one Pennsylvania-based pharmacy. The Complaint tracks the dismissed master personal injury complaint from the MDL and was removed and subsequently transferred to the MDL on November 9, 2021. Although it has not occurred yet, the case will be remanded to Pennsylvania state court.
29
On February 8, 2022, plaintiff Gary Ross filed a lawsuit in Illinois state court naming Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC and Amneal Pharmaceuticals of New York, LLC, along with twenty other defendants, including brand-name manufacturers, generic manufacturers, and retailers. The generic manufacturers filed a motion to dismiss on March 28, 2022.
On March 1, 2022, plaintiff Barbara Martin filed a lawsuit in Illinois state court naming Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, Amneal Pharmaceuticals of New York, LLC, and Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc., along with seven other defendants, including brand-name manufacturers, generic manufacturers, and retailers. Plaintiff has attempted to serve only Amneal Pharmaceuticals of New York, LLC, and the Company intends to file a motion to dismiss.
Metformin Litigation
Amneal and AvKARE, Inc. were named as defendants, along with numerous other manufacturers, retail pharmacies, and wholesalers, in several putative class action lawsuits pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“D.N.J.”), consolidated as In Re Metformin Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation (No. 2:20-cv-02324-MCA-MAH). The lawsuits all allege that defendants made and sold to putative class members generic metformin products that were “adulterated” or “contaminated” with NDMA.
An economic loss complaint filed on behalf of consumers and third-party payors who purchased or paid or made reimbursements for metformin alleges that plaintiffs suffered economic losses in connection with their purchases or reimbursements due to the purported contamination. On May 20, 2021, the Court granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss the economic loss complaint, and Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on June 21, 2021. Defendants again moved to dismiss, and the Court granted in part and denied in part Defendants’ second motion to dismiss. Initial discovery has begun. Additionally, medical monitoring class action complaints were filed on behalf of consumers who consumed allegedly contaminated metformin allege “cellular damage, genetic harm, and/or are at an increased risk of developing cancer” and seek medical monitoring, including evaluation and treatment. These cases are currently stayed.
On March 29, 2021, a plaintiff filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama asserting claims against manufacturers of Valsartan, Losartan, and Metformin based on the alleged presence of nitrosamines in those products. The only allegations against Amneal concern Metformin. (Davis v. Camber Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2:21-00254 (M.D. Ala.) (the “Davis Action”)).

On October 29, 2021, three plaintiffs filed a complaint in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska asserting claims against Amneal based on the alleged presence of nitrosamines in metformin. On January 10, 2022, Amneal removed the case to the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska. (Conrad et al v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc., No. 22-cv-00011-BCB-SMB (D. Neb.)). Amneal moved to dismiss the complaint on March 3, 2022, and on March 31, 2022, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint.
Xyrem® (Sodium Oxybate) Antitrust Litigation
Amneal has been named as a defendant, along with Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Jazz”) and numerous other manufacturers of generic versions of Jazz’s Xyrem® (sodium oxybate), in several putative class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that the generic manufacturers entered into anticompetitive agreements with Jazz in connection with settling patent litigation related to Xyrem®. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and penalties as well as equitable relief, including disgorgement and restitution. On December 16, 2020, the JPML transferred the actions to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California for consolidated pretrial proceedings consolidated as In re Xyrem (Sodium Oxybate) Antitrust Litigation (No. 5:20-md-02966-LHK). Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class complaint in March 2021, which Defendants moved to dismiss. On August 13, 2021, the Court granted in part and denied in part Defendants’ motion, dismissing the federal damages claims and several state-law claims, while permitting the remaining claims to proceed. Discovery is currently ongoing.
Value Drug Company v. Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.
On August 5, 2021, Value Drug Company filed a purported class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. (“Takeda”) and numerous other manufacturers of generic versions of Takeda’s Colcrys® (colchicine), including Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, alleging that the generic manufacturers conspired with Takeda to restrict output of generic Colcrys in order to maintain higher prices, in violation of the antitrust laws. The Company, along with the other defendants, moved to dismiss for failure to state a claim, and on December 28, 2021, the Court granted the motion in full, with leave to amend. On January 18, 2022, Plaintiff filed its amended complaint,
30
making substantively the same antitrust allegations, but alleging that the violations were effectuated by either a single overarching conspiracy or a series of bilateral conspiracies. The Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim. On March 30, 2022, the Court granted in part and denied in party defendants’ motion, dismissing the newly pled bilateral conspiracy claims but allowing the revised overarching conspiracy claim to proceed against all defendants.
Galeas v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
On July 27, 2021, Cesy Galeas filed a purported class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc., alleging that the payment schedule for certain workers violated New York Labor Law. Specifically, the purported class, which presently consists of one named plaintiff contends that the Company paid the employees all owed wages, but did so bi-weekly, instead of weekly. In March 2022, the parties reached a tentative agreement to settle all claims for $1.2 million, subject to, among other things, the negotiation and court approval of a definitive settlement agreement. The Company recorded a $1.2 million charge associated with this matter for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company has not yet responded to the complaint in light of the foregoing tentative settlement agreement.

(2) $5.0 million was payable to Kashiv as of March 31, 2022 for regulatory approval of Filgrastim.
(3) As discussed in Note 3. Acquisitions, the purchase price for the Puniska Acquisition included $14.2 million due to the sellers for the satisfaction of a preexisting payable upon approval of the transaction by the government of India. The Company satisfied this liability in March 2022.
(4) Represents accrued interest on the Sellers Notes associated with the Rondo Acquisitions, as defined and discussed in Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures and Note 17. Debt in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(5) Refer to Note 16. Stockholders’ Equity and Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests.
Puniska Acquisition - Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests
The Company paid $1.7 million for the remaining 26 % equity interest of Puniska (included in redeemable non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021) upon approval of the Puniska Acquisition by the government of India in March 2022.
16. Stockholders’ Equity and Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests
Non-Controlling Interests
The Company consolidates the financial statements of Amneal and its subsidiaries and records non-controlling interests for the portion of Amneal’s economic interests that is not held by the Company. Non-controlling interests are adjusted for capital transactions that impact the non-publicly held economic interests in Amneal.
34
Under the terms of Amneal's limited liability company agreement, as amended, Amneal is obligated to make tax distributions to its members. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded net tax distributions of $4.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively, as a reduction of non-controlling interests.
As discussed in Note 3. Acquisitions, the Company acquired a 98 % interest in KSP on April 2, 2021. The sellers of KSP, a related party, hold the remaining interest. The Company will attribute 2 % of the net income or loss of KSP to the non-controlling interests.
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests
As discussed in Note 1. Nature of Operations, the Company acquired a 65.1 % controlling interest in both AvKARE, LLC and R&S in 2020. The sellers of AvKARE, LLC and R&S hold the remaining 34.9 % interest (“Rondo Class B Units”) in the holding company that directly owns the acquired companies (“Rondo”). Beginning on January 1, 2026, the holders of the Rondo Class B Units have the right (“Put Right”) to require the Company to acquire the Rondo Class B Units for a purchase price that is based on a multiple of Rondo’s earnings before income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) if certain financial targets and other conditions are met. Additionally, beginning on January 31, 2020, the Company has the right to acquire the Rondo Class B Units based on the same value and conditions as the Put Right. The Rondo Class B Units are also redeemable by the holders upon a change in control.
Since the redemption of the Rondo Class B Units is outside of the Company's control, the units have been presented outside of stockholders’ equity as redeemable non-controlling interests. Upon closing of the Rondo Acquisitions, the redeemable non-controlling interests were recorded as a component of the fair value of consideration transferred at an estimated fair value of $11.0 million. The fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interests was estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation approach under the option pricing framework, which considers the redemption rights of both the Company and the holders of the Rondo Class B Units.
The Company attributes 34.9 % of the net income or loss associated with Rondo to redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company will also accrete the redeemable non-controlling interests to redemption value upon an event that makes redemption probable. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded tax distributions of $2.0 million and $0.5 million as a reduction of redeemable non-controlling interests, respectively.
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests - Puniska
As discussed in Note 3. Acquisitions, the Company acquired 74 % of the equity interests in Puniska on November 2, 2021. Amneal was required pursuant to the purchase agreement to acquire the remaining 26 % of Puniska upon approval of the transaction by the government of India. Since approval of the government of India was outside of the Company’s control, upon closing of the Puniska Acquisition, the equity interests of Puniska that the Company did not own were presented outside of stockholders' equity as redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company attributed 26 % of the net losses of Puniska to the redeemable non-controlling interests.
Upon approval of the transaction by the government of India in March 2022, the Company paid the $1.7 million redemption value for the remaining 26 % of the equity interests of Puniska. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded accretion of $0.9 million to increase the redeemable non-controlling interests to redemption value.

19. Government Grants
In November 2021, Amneal Pharmaceuticals Private Limited, a subsidiary of the Company in India, was selected as one of 55 companies to participate in the Production Linked Incentive Scheme for the Pharmaceutical Sector (“PLI Scheme”). The government of India established the PLI Scheme to make India’s domestic manufacturing more globally competitive and to create global champions within the pharmaceutical sector by encouraging investment and product diversification with a focus on manufacturing complex and high value goods.
Under the PLI Scheme, the Company is eligible to receive up to 10 billion Indian rupees, or approximately $132.3 million (based on conversion rates as of March 31, 2022), over a maximum six-year period, starting in 2022. To be eligible to receive the cash incentives, Amneal must achieve (i) minimum cumulative expenditures towards developmental and/or capital investments and (ii) a minimum percentage growth in sales of eligible products. The Company will recognize the related grant incentives in the consolidated statements of operations on a systematic basis over the term of the grant starting in the second quarter of 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a pharmaceutical company specializing in developing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing high-value generic pharmaceutical products across a broad array of dosage forms and therapeutic areas, as well as branded products. We operate principally in the United States, India, and Ireland, and sell to wholesalers, distributors, hospitals, chain pharmacies and individual pharmacies, either directly or indirectly.
The Company is a holding company, whose principal assets are common units (“Amneal Common Units”) of Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Amneal”). In 2018, Amneal completed the acquisition of Impax Laboratories, Inc. (“Impax”), a generic and specialty pharmaceutical company.
The group of investors, together with their affiliates and certain assignees, who owned Amneal when it was a private company (the “Members”) held 50.2% of Amneal Common Units and the Company held the remaining 49.8% as of March 31, 2022.
The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the heading Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The following discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2022 should also be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We have three reportable segments: Generics, Specialty, and AvKARE.
Generics
Our Generics segment includes approximately 250 product families covering an extensive range of dosage forms and delivery systems, including both immediate and extended release oral solids, powders, liquids, sterile injectables, nasal sprays, inhalation and respiratory products, ophthalmics (which are sterile pharmaceutical preparations administered for ocular conditions), films, transdermal patches and topicals (which are creams or gels designed to administer pharmaceuticals locally through the skin). We focus on developing products with substantial barriers-to-entry resulting from complex drug formulations or manufacturing, or legal or regulatory challenges. Generic products, particularly in the U.S., generally contribute most significantly to revenues and gross margins at the time of their launch, and even more so in periods of market exclusivity, or in periods of limited generic competition. As such, the timing of new product introductions can have a significant impact on the Company’s financial results. The entrance into the market of additional competition generally has a negative impact on the volume and / or pricing of the affected products. Additionally, pricing is determined by market place dynamics and is often affected by factors outside of the Company’s control.
Specialty
Our Specialty segment is engaged in the development, promotion, sale and distribution of proprietary branded pharmaceutical products, with a focus on products addressing central nervous system (“CNS”) disorders, including migraine and Parkinson’s disease. Our portfolio of products includes Rytary®, an extended release oral capsule formulation of carbidopa-levodopa for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, post-encephalitic parkinsonism, and parkinsonism that may follow carbon monoxide intoxication or manganese intoxication. In addition to Rytary®, our promoted Specialty portfolio includes Unithroid® (levothyroxine sodium), for the treatment of hypothyroidism, which is sold under a license and distribution agreement with Jerome Stevens Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Emverm® (mebendazole) 100 mg chewable tablets, for the treatment of pinworm, whipworm, common roundworm, common hookworm and American hookworm in single or mixed infections.
For Specialty products, the majority of the product’s commercial value is usually realized during the period in which the product has market exclusivity. In the U.S. when market exclusivity expires and generic versions of a product are approved and marketed, there can often be very substantial and rapid declines in the branded product’s sales. For example, the pediatric exclusivity of the AstraZeneca patent licensed to Impax for Zomig® Nasal Spray expired in May 2021, and we lost market exclusivity in the fourth quarter of 2021.
38
AvKARE
Our AvKARE segment provides pharmaceuticals, medical and surgical products, and services primarily to governmental agencies. AvKARE is a re-packager of bottle and unit dose pharmaceuticals under the registered names of AvKARE and AvPAK, which service the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs as well as institutional customers. AvKARE is also a wholesale distributor of pharmaceuticals, over the counter products and medical supplies to institutional customers which are located throughout the United States of America focused primarily on offering 340b-qualified entities products to provide consistency in care and pricing.
The Pharmaceutical Industry
The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and highly regulated. As a result, we face a number of industry-specific factors and challenges, which can significantly impact our results. For a more detailed explanation of our business and its risks, refer to our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented by Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
COVID-19 Pandemic
In March 2020, the World Health Organization designated the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic. Governments and businesses around the world took unprecedented actions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including imposing restrictions on movement and travel such as quarantines and shelter-in-place requirements, and restricting or prohibiting outright some or all commercial and business activity, including the manufacture and distribution of certain goods and the provision of non-essential services.
To the extent that the pandemic continues or worsens, national, state, local and international governments may impose additional restrictions or extend the restrictions already in place. The worsening of the pandemic and the related safety and business operating restrictions could result in a number of adverse impacts to our business, including, but not limited to, additional disruption to the economy and our customers, additional work restrictions, supply chains being interrupted or slowed, and rising supply prices. Also, governments may impose other laws, regulations, or taxes that could adversely impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Further, depending on the extent to which our customers are affected, they could delay or reduce purchases of products we provide. The potential effects of the pandemic also could impact us in a number of other ways including, but not limited to, reductions to our profitability, fluctuations in foreign currency markets, the availability of future borrowings, the cost of borrowings, credit risks of our customers and counterparties, and potential impairment of the carrying amount of goodwill or other definite-lived assets.
Although not currently expected, any supply chain disruptions may significantly impact our 2022 results of operations and cash flows. Increasing infection rates and the introduction of new and more easily transmitted variants of COVID-19, such as the Delta and Omicron variants, could cause material disruptions to our global supply chains and cause labor shortages, as well as reduce the number of physician visits in general.
We continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further precautionary and preemptive actions as may be required by national, state, or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, suppliers, and shareholders. Until the ultimate extent and duration of the pandemic is known, we cannot predict the ultimate effects the pandemic may have on our business, in particular with respect to demand for our products, our strategy, and our prospects, the effects on our customers, or the impact on our financial results.
Inflation
While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation, we currently expect an inflationary impact of approximately $20 million for the year ending December 31, 2022. However, rising inflationary pressures due to higher input costs, including higher material, transportation, labor and other costs, could exceed our expectations, which would further adversely impact our operating results in future periods.

Consolidated Results
The following table sets forth our summarized, consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Net Revenue
Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $497.6 million, an increase of 1% as compared to $493.1 million for the three months ended March 31 2021. The increase from the prior year period was attributable to growth in our Generics and AvKARE segments, partially offset by a decline in our Specialty segment as follows:
•Net revenue growth in our Generics segment of $5.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to new products launched in 2022 and 2021 that contributed revenue growth of $14.0 million, as well as volume growth. This increase was partially offset by continued price erosion.
•Specialty segment net revenue decreased $10.8 million during the thee months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year period, driven by the loss of exclusivity of Zomig® nasal spray as well as a decline in our other non-promoted products. Net revenue for our promoted products, including Rytary® and Unithroid®, declined 6% and increased 13%, respectively, due to the timing of shipments as prescription growth remained strong for both products.
•AvKARE net segment revenue grew $10.1 million during the thee months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year period due to growth in our distribution channel.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased 7%, or $21.5 million, to $323.1 million as compared to $301.5 million in the prior year period. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily due to increased volume within Generics and AvKARE and a reduction in operating efficiency benefits realized period-over-period.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $174.6 million (35% of total net revenue) as compared to gross profit of $191.6 million (39% of total net revenue) for prior year period.
Selling, General, and Administrative
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $98.7 million, as compared to $90.7 million for the prior year period. The $7.9 million increase from the prior year period was primarily due to an increase in employee compensation and a $5 million expense associated with a biosimilar regulatory approval.
40
Research and Development
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $52.8 million, as compared to $48.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $4.6 million increase compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to charges of $6 million associated with acquired businesses in 2021 offset in part by a decrease in project spend of $3 million as the IPX-203 project neared completion.
Intellectual Property Legal Development Expense
Intellectual property legal development expenses include, but are not limited to, costs associated with formulation assessments, patent challenge opinions and strategy, and litigation expenses to defend our intellectual property. Intellectual property legal development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $0.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively. The period-over-period decrease of $2.8 million was due to the timing of specific cases. Expenses may vary based on the number of individual cases and corresponding litigation outstanding in a particular period.
Acquisition, Transaction-Related and Integration Expenses
Acquisition, transaction-related and integration expenses were $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Acquisition, transaction-related and integration expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were primarily related to the Saol Acquisition, which closed on February 9, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, acquisition, transaction-related and integration expenses were primarily related to the KSP Acquisition, which closed on April 2, 2021, and integration expenses related to the businesses that comprise our AvKARE segment. Refer to Note 3. Acquisitions for additional information.
Credit Related to Legal Matters, Net
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a net credit of $2.3 million for an insurance recovery of $4.0 million, partially offset by charges for legal proceedings. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no charges related to legal matters.
Total Other Expense, Net
Total other expense, net was $33.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $31.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Overall, the increase from the prior year period was driven by a $4.1 million unfavorable period-over-period impact of net foreign exchange gains and losses, partially offset by lower interest expense and a benefit related to a previously outstanding contingent liability.
(Benefit From) Provision For Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, our (benefit from) provision for income taxes and effective tax rates were $(3.5) million and 34.9% and $0.4 million and 2.4%, respectively.
The period-over-period change in the (benefit from) provision for income taxes was related to an Internal Revenue Service examination and Joint Committee review of our 2012-2018 federal income tax returns, which enabled us to recognize previously unrecognized tax benefits.
Net (Loss) Income
We recognized a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $6.5 million as compared to net income of $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The period-over-period change was attributable to the factors listed above.

Net Revenue
Generics net revenue was $317.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $5.2 million or 2% as compared to the prior year period. The increase primarily related to new products launched in 2022 and 2021 that contributed revenue growth of $14 million, as well as volume growth, offset in part by continued price erosion.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Generics cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $199.0 million, an increase of 7% or $13.7 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily attributable to increased volume and a reduction in operating efficiency benefits realized period-over-period.
Generics gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $118.7 million (37% of net revenue) as compared to gross profit of $127.2 million (41% of net revenue) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as a result of the factors described above.
Selling, General, and Administrative
Generics SG&A expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $27.6 million, as compared to $18.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $8.8 million, or 47%, increase from the prior year period was primarily attributable to increased employee compensation and $5 million expense associated with a biosimilar regulatory approval.
Research and Development
Generics R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $43.2 million, an increase of 20% or $7.1 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase from the prior year period was primarily associated with inflationary pressures and the costs associated with acquired businesses in 2021 of $3.0 million relating to complex generics.
Intellectual Property Legal Development Expenses
Intellectual property legal development expenses include, but are not limited to, costs associated with formulation assessments, patent challenge opinions and strategy, and litigation expenses to defend our intellectual property. Intellectual property legal development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $0.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively. The period-over-period decrease of $2.8 million was due to the timing of specific cases.

Net Revenue
Specialty net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $85.1 million, a decrease of $10.8 million, or 11%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, driven by the loss of exclusivity of Zomig® nasal spray as well as a decline in our other non-promoted products. Our promoted products including Rytary® and Unithroid® declined 6% and increased 13%, respectively, due to the timing of shipments as prescription growth remained strong for both products.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Specialty cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $43.9 million as compared to $48.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Specialty gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $41.2 million (48% of net revenue) as compared to gross profit of $47.7 million (50% of net revenue) for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in gross profit primarily related to the decrease in revenues, including the impact of non-promoted products. Additionally, the decrease in gross margin was due to product mix.
Selling, General, and Administrative
Specialty SG&A expense was $24.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $4.5 million or 23% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in in-person sales and marketing efforts and increased compensation.
Research and Development
Specialty R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $9.6 million, as compared to $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $2.5 million decrease from the prior year period was primarily attributable to a decrease in in-licensing and upfront milestone payments of $5.0 million and a reduction in IPX-203 spend as the project neared completion, partially offset by increased spend of $3.0 million associated with the KSP Acquisition.
AvKARE

AvKARE net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $94.8 million, an increase of $10.1 million, or 12%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, driven by growth in our distribution channel.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
AvKARE cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $80.2 million as compared to $68.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. AvKARE gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $14.6 million (15% of net revenue) as compared to gross profit of $16.6 million (20% of net revenue) for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in gross profit percentage primarily related to an increase in sales through our lower margin distribution channel.
Selling, General, and Administrative
AvKARE SG&A expense was essentially flat period-over-period with $13.4 million of expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary source of liquidity is cash generated from operations, available cash on hand and borrowings under debt financing arrangements, including $446.9 million of available capacity on our revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2022. Refer to Note 17. Debt in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. We believe these sources are sufficient to fund our planned operations, meet our interest and contractual obligations, including acquisitions, and provide sufficient liquidity over the next 12 months from the date of filing of this Form 10-Q. However, our ability to satisfy our working capital requirements and debt obligations will depend upon economic conditions, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and demand for our products, which are factors that may be out of our control.
Our primary uses of capital resources are to fund operating activities, including research and development expenses associated with new product filings, and pharmaceutical product manufacturing expenses, license payments, spending on production facility expansions and capital equipment, and acquisitions. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs. A continued worldwide disruption could materially affect our future access to sources of liquidity, particularly our cash flows from operations, and financial condition. In the event of a sustained market deterioration, we may need additional liquidity, which would require us to evaluate available alternatives and take appropriate actions.
We estimate that we will invest approximately $75.0 million to $85.0 million during 2022 for capital expenditures to support and grow our existing operations, primarily related to investments in manufacturing equipment, information technology and facilities.
Over the next 12 months, we expect to make substantial payments, including a $10 million milestone payment to Mabxience S.L. (refer to Note 5. Alliance and Collaboration), monthly interest and quarterly principal amounts due for our debt instruments, including our Term Loan and Rondo Term Loan, as well as contractual payments for leased premises. Refer to Note 17. Debt and Note 12. Leases in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for detailed information.
We are party to a tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) that requires us to make cash payments to the Members other than the Company, in respect of certain tax benefits that we may realize or may be deemed to realize as a result of sales or exchanges of Amneal Common Units by the Members (refer to Note 1. Nature of Operations). The timing and amount of any payments under the TRA will also vary, depending upon a number of factors including the timing and number of Amneal Common Units sold or exchanged for our class A common stock, the price of our class A common stock on the date of sale or exchange, the timing
44
and amount of our taxable income, and the tax rate in effect at the time of realization of our taxable income. The tax receivable agreement also requires that we make an accelerated payment to the Members equal to the present value of all future payments due under the agreement upon certain change of control and similar transactions. Further sales or exchanges occurring subsequent to March 31, 2022 could result in future Amneal tax deductions and obligations to pay 85% of such benefits to the holders of Amneal Common Units. These obligations could be incremental to and substantially larger than the approximate $206.3 million contingent liability as of March 31, 2022 (refer to Note 7. Income Taxes). As a result of the foregoing, our obligations under the tax receivable agreement could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity. For further details, refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In addition, pursuant to the limited liability operating agreement of Amneal, as amended, in connection with any tax period, we will be required to make distributions to Amneal's members, on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of Amneal Common Units held by each member, of cash until each member (other than Amneal) has received an amount at least equal to its assumed tax liability and Amneal has received an amount sufficient to enable it to timely satisfy all of its U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax liabilities, and meet its obligations pursuant to the TRA. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, we made tax distributions of $4.4 million (net) and $9.2 million, respectively, to the Members.
As of March 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and highly liquid investments. A portion of our cash flows are derived outside the United States. As a result, we are subject to market risk associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. We maintain cash balances at both U.S. based and foreign country based commercial banks. At various times during the year, our cash balances held in the United States may exceed amounts that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). We make our investments in accordance with our investment policy. The primary objectives of our investment policy are liquidity and safety of principal.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $120.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $148.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in operating cash flows was primarily driven by net income in the prior period as compared to a net loss in the current period.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $97.4 million as compared to $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The period-over-period increase of $84.7 million in net cash used was primarily due to cash paid for the Saol Acquisition.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $61.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $26.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The period-over-period increase of $35.4 million in net cash used was primarily due to $44.0 million paid for deferred consideration associated with the KSP Acquisition and the Puniska Acquisition (refer to Note 3. Acquisitions), net of a decrease in debt payments of $14.0 million related to an excess cash flow payment made in the prior year period on our Term Loan.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting which materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
46
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our system of internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed or operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system of internal control are met. The design of our control system reflects the fact that there are resource constraints, and that the benefits of such control system must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control failures and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the intentional acts of individuals, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that the design of any particular control will always succeed in achieving its objective under all potential future conditions.
