BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMRX) (“Amneal” or the “Company”) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.
“Amneal’s continued success in 2024 demonstrates our ability to drive sustainable growth through disciplined execution, continuous innovation, and strategic capital allocation. All three business segments achieved double-digit revenue growth, we successfully launched CREXONT®, and we reduced net leverage to 3.9x, which is one year ahead of our commitment to be below 4x. In 2025 and beyond, we are entering a new phase of growth by further expanding in high-growth areas such as Specialty, Biosimilars, and GLP-1 therapies. As a growing and diversified biopharmaceutical company, Amneal is well positioned to deliver substantial value creation for all our stakeholders,” said Chirag and Chintu Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officers.
Net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $731 million, an increase of 18% compared to $617 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by Affordable Medicines(3) revenues growing 21% due to new product launches, biosimilars and multiple other complex products, AvKARE revenues growing 14% due to new product launches and Specialty revenues growing 16% driven by key branded products including CREXONT®. Net loss attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was $31 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to a net loss of $99 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, which reflected the term loan refinancing in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $155 million, an increase of 9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to strong revenue growth partially offset by higher spending in research and development and commercial initiatives to drive future growth. Diluted loss per share in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $0.10 compared to a loss of $0.40 for the fourth quarter of 2023, due to the aforementioned factors. Adjusted diluted EPS(1) in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $0.12 compared to $0.14 in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $2.79 billion, an increase of 17% compared to $2.39 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. Each of the business segments grew revenues double-digits in 2024 driven by the success of new product launches across the segments with Affordable Medicines(3) growing 15%, AvKARE growing 25% and Specialty growing 14%. Net loss attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was $117 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to a net loss of $84 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to higher operating income offset by higher interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $627 million, an increase of 12% compared to the prior year, reflective of strong revenue growth and consistent adjusted gross margins, partially offset by select investments in research and development and commercial initiatives for new products to drive future growth. Diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $0.38 compared to diluted loss per share of $0.48 for the year ended December 31, 2023, due to increased operating income more than offset by higher interest expense. Adjusted diluted EPS(1) in the year ended December 31, 2024 was $0.58, a decrease of 9% from $0.64 for the year ended December 31, 2023.
(1) | See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. |
(2) | The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between projected adjusted EBITDA and net income (loss), the most directly comparable measure in accordance with GAAP, without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. The items include, but are not limited to, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses and benefits, asset impairments, legal settlements, and other gains and losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results. |
(3) | During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company changed the name of its Generics segment to “Affordable Medicines” to reflect the full product offering of the segment. The Affordable Medicines segment includes retail generics, injectables, biosimilars and international net revenues. The name change did not result in any change to the composition of the Company’s reportable segments and, therefore, did not result in any change to its historical results. |

Amneal’s 2025 estimates are based on management’s current expectations, including with respect to prescription trends, pricing levels, the timing of future product launches, the costs incurred and benefits realized of restructuring activities, and our long-term strategy. The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable measures in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. The items include, but are not limited to, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses and benefits, asset impairments, legal settlements, and other gains and losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted operating cash flow and net leverage, which are intended as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted diluted EPS reflects diluted earnings per share based on adjusted net income, which is net loss adjusted to (A) exclude (i) non-cash interest, (ii) GAAP provision for income taxes, (iii) amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) acquisition, site closure expenses, and idle facility expenses, (vi) restructuring and other charges, (vii) loss on refinancing, (viii) charges related to certain legal matters, including interest, net, (ix) asset impairment charges, (x) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (xi) increase in tax receivable agreement liability, (xii) system implementation expense, (xiii) Reorganization expenses, (xiv) other and (xv) net income attributable to non-controlling interests not associated with our Class B common stock, and (B) includes non-GAAP provision for income taxes. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 was calculated using the weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding of Class A common stock (inclusive of the effect of dilutive securities). Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023 was calculated using the weighted average diluted shares outstanding of Class A common stock (inclusive of the effect of dilutive securities) and assuming all shares of Class B common stock were converted to shares of Class A common stock as of January 1, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA reflects net loss adjusted to exclude (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) acquisition, site closure, and idle facility expenses, (vi) restructuring and other charges, (vii) loss on refinancing (viii) charges related to legal matters, net, (ix) asset impairment charges, (x) foreign exchange loss (gain), (xi) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (xii) increase in tax receivable agreement liability, (xiii) system implementation expense, (xiv) Reorganization expense, and (xv) other. Net leverage is calculated as net debt (total outstanding principal on the Company’s debt, less cash and cash equivalents), divided by adjusted EBITDA for the year or trailing twelve months then ended.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations and to better understand its business because they facilitate a comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance relative to its performance based on results calculated under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures also isolate the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance and eliminate certain charges that management believes do not reflect the Company’s operations and underlying operational performance. The compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors also uses certain of these measures to evaluate management’s performance and set its compensation. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures also provide useful information to investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and operating results facilitates an evaluation of the financial performance of the Company and its operations on a consistent basis. Providing this information therefore allows investors to make independent assessments of the Company’s financial performance, results of operations, cash flows, net leverage and trends while viewing the information through the eyes of management.
These non-GAAP measures are subject to limitations. The non-GAAP measures presented in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because other companies may not calculate one or more in the same manner. Additionally, the non-GAAP performance measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements; do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and do not reflect interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt. Further, our historical adjusted results are not intended to project our adjusted results of operations or financial position for any future period. To compensate for these limitations, management presents and considers these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP results; no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation from or as alternatives to any measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Readers should review the reconciliations included below, and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.
A reconciliation of each historical non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is set forth below.
