BRIDGEWATER, NJ, February 26, 2020 - Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMRX) (the “Company”) announced its results today for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2019.

Net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019 was $397 million, a decrease of 20% compared to $498 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, primarily due to lower Generics business revenue. Net loss attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was $32 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to a net loss of $9 million in the prior year period, due to lower revenue and lower gross margins partially offset by a decline in restructuring and intangible impairment charges. Diluted EPS in the fourth quarter of 2019 was a loss of $0.23 compared to a loss of $0.07 in the prior year period.

Adjusted net income^(1)^ in the fourth quarter of 2019 was $23 million, a decrease of 77% compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA^(1)^ in the fourth quarter of 2019 was $81 million, a decrease of 57% compared to the prior year period, due to lower revenue and lower gross margins, partially offset by lower operating expenses as a result of cost savings initiatives. Adjusted diluted EPS in the fourth quarter of 2019 was $0.08, compared to $0.33 for the prior year period.

“Since our return as Co-CEOs last August, we have made significant progress reinvigorating our business and taking the necessary actions to support growth in 2020 and beyond,” said Chirag and Chintu Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officers. “2019 was a transition year, but we entered 2020 with strong momentum driven by our team’s relentless focus on execution and addressing inefficiencies across the business. Our execution was highlighted by 30 new awards across our base Generics portfolio and 15 new product launches since August, including two key complex first-to-market launches. Our Specialty business drove impressive growth for our key marketed products, we continued work to expand our pipeline and launched an aggressive strategy to identify near-term opportunities to grow our franchises. We also delivered on our promise to diversify our business with the AvKARE transaction - enhancing our government distribution business and unit dose capabilities - and broadening our geographic reach with our license and supply agreement with Fosun Pharma to supply products for the growing Chinese market. These achievements are helping to propel our 2020 focus and we are confident Amneal is well-positioned to drive long-term growth and value for all our stakeholders in 2020 and beyond.”^^

^(1)^ See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

2020 Financial Outlook

Amneal’s full year 2020 estimates, which include the impact of our January 31, 2020 transaction with AvKARE, Inc. and its related affiliate doing business as R&S Northeast LLC, are based on management's current expectations, including with respect to prescription trends, pricing levels, inventory levels, the costs incurred and benefits realized of restructuring activities and the anticipated timing of future product launches and events. The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. The items include, but are not limited to, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses and benefits, asset impairments and other gains and losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP reported results for 2020.

Full Year 2020 Financial Guidance
Net revenue $1,875 million - $1,975 million
Adjusted gross margin 44% - 46%
Adjusted EBITDA ^(14)^ $400 million - $450 million
Adjusted diluted EPS ^(15)^ $0.45 - $0.60
Operating cash flow $150 million - $200 million
Capital expenditures $60 million - $70 million
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding ^(16)^ Approximately 300 million

^(1^^4^^)^ Includes 100% of EBITDA from the AvKARE and R&S Northeast transaction.

^(1^^5^^)^ Accounts for 35% non-controlling interest in AvKARE and R&S Northeast.

^(1^^6^^)^ Assumes the weighted average diluted shares outstanding of Class A and Class B shares under the if-converted method.

Generics net revenue was $300 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $411 million for the prior year period.  The decrease is primarily attributable to price erosion due to additional competition on our existing portfolio, the reclassification of Oxymorphone HCI to the Specialty segment in the third quarter of 2019 and the divestiture of international businesses in the U.K. and Germany.  The decrease was partially offset by new product launches in 2019, which included EluRyng (Generic NuvaRing) and Sucralfate.

Generics gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2019 was 21% compared to 36% for the prior year period. The decrease is primarily related to impairment and inventory obsolescence charges, and the impact of price erosion. Generics adjusted gross margin^(1)^ for the fourth quarter of 2019 was 33% compared to 45% for the prior year period primarily due to price erosion, product sales mix, an increase in inventory obsolescence charges and the impact of volume declines period over period leading to underutilization of manufacturing facilities.

Generics operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $3 million compared to operating income of $43 million for the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to lower revenue and gross profit as noted above, and an increase in impairment charges. Generics adjusted operating income^(1)^ for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $49 million compared to $150 million for the prior year period primarily due to lower revenue and lower gross profit, partially offset by lower operating expenses as a result of cost savings initiatives.

Specialty net revenue was $97 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $87 million for the prior year period, primarily due to the reclassification of Oxymorphone HCI to the Specialty segment during the third quarter of 2019, and higher revenue from Unithroid®.

Specialty gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2019 was 50% compared to 53% for the prior year period primarily due to product sales mix. Specialty adjusted gross margin^(1)^ for the fourth quarter of 2019 was 75% compared to 81% for the prior year period primarily due to the addition of lower margin Oxymorphone HCI as noted above.

Specialty operating income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $18 million compared to $24 million for the prior year period, primarily due to higher cost of goods sold and operating expenses.  Specialty adjusted operating income^(1)^ for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $46 million compared to $51 million for the prior year period primarily due to the higher cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses.

All values are in US Dollars.

General and administrative and other operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased to $38 million compared to $44 million in the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to synergies associated with the combination with Impax and the Gemini acquisition including lower acquisition, transaction-related and integration expenses, partially offset by restructuring and other charges relating to recent cost savings initiatives.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating income, which are intended as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this release includes these non-GAAP measures and our reported results on a non-GAAP combined basis to include the historical results of Impax and Gemini, not adjusted for financing and acquisition accounting impacts of the combination with Impax, as if the transaction closing dates had occurred on the first day of all periods presented herein. All combined business results presented in this release are not prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The calculation of non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock to shares of Class A Common Stock.

Management uses these non-GAAP historical and combined measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations and to better understand its business because they facilitate a comparative assessment of the Company's operating performance relative to its performance based on results calculated under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures also isolate the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance and eliminate certain charges that management believes do not reflect the Company's operations and underlying operational performance. The compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors also uses certain of these measures to evaluate management's performance and set its compensation. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures also provide useful information to investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and operating results, and doing so on a combined basis facilitates an evaluation of the financial performance of the Company and its operations on a consistent basis. Providing this information therefore allows investors to make independent assessments of the Company’s financial performance, results of operation and trends while viewing the information through the eyes of management.

These non-GAAP measures are subject to limitations. The non-GAAP measures presented in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because other companies may not calculate one or more in the same manner. Additionally, the non-GAAP performance measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial

statements; do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and do not reflect interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt. Further, the combined results may not represent what our combined results of operations and financial position would have been had the transactions occurred on the dates indicated, nor are they intended to project our combined results of operations or financial position for any future period. To compensate for these limitations, management presents and considers these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP results; no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation from or as alternatives to net income, diluted earnings per share or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Readers should review the reconciliations included below, and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.

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