‒ Q3 2024 Net Revenue of $702 million; GAAP Net Loss of $0.2 million; Diluted Loss per Share of $0.00 ‒
‒ Adjusted EBITDA of $158 million; Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.16 ‒
‒ Affirms 2024 Full Year Guidance ‒
BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMRX) (“Amneal” or the “Company”) today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
“Q3 was an excellent quarter where we continued to drive strong financial results across our diversified business and we announced three strategic actions to solidify our long-term growth. First, we launched CREXONT® for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Second, we announced our collaboration with Metsera, Inc. to leverage Amneal’s expertise and supply next-generation medicines for obesity and metabolic diseases. Third, we expanded our deep pipeline by in-licensing a new high-value biosimilar. We look forward to building on our momentum and continuing to create value for all our key stakeholders,” said Chirag and Chintu Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officers.
Third Quarter 2024 Results
Net revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $702 million, an increase of 13% compared to $620 million in the third quarter of 2023. Generics net revenue increased 9% driven by strong performance of new product launches and biosimilars. Specialty net revenue increased 19% driven by promoted products in neurology and endocrinology, including the recent launches of CREXONT® and ONGENTYS® for Parkinson’s disease. AvKARE net revenue increased 21% driven by growth across its distribution and government label sales channels.
Net loss attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to net income of $10 million in the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher interest expense.
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2024 was $158 million, an increase of 2% compared to the third quarter of 2023, reflective of strong revenue performance and higher gross margins, partially offset by a $20 million research and development milestone payment associated with the Company’s exclusive license of Omalizumab during the third quarter of 2024.
Diluted loss per share in the third quarter of 2024 was $0.00 compared to diluted income per share of $0.06 for the third quarter of 2023, as higher interest expense reduced net income. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2024 was $0.16 compared to $0.19 for the third quarter of 2023 due to the aforementioned factor.
The Company presents GAAP and adjusted (non-GAAP) quarterly results. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for more information. In the tables provided below, GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations are presented.
Affirming Previously Announced Increased 2024 Full Year Guidance
Net revenue | $2.70 billion - $2.80 billion |
Adjusted EBITDA (1) | $610 million - $630 million |
Adjusted diluted EPS (2) | $0.57 - $0.63 |
Operating cash flow (3) | $280 million - $320 million |
Capital expenditures | $60 million - $70 million |
(1) | Includes 100% of Adjusted EBITDA from the AvKARE acquisition. | |
(2) | Accounts for 35% non-controlling interest in AvKARE. Guidance assumes approximately 320 million weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the year ending December 31, 2024. | |

Amneal’s 2024 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.

The reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations of future events, including with respect to future market conditions, company performance and financial results, operational investments, business prospects, new strategies and growth initiatives, the competitive environment, and other events.

Such risks and uncertainties 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 revenues are derived from the sales of a limited number of products, a substantial portion of which are through a limited number of customers; the impact of a prolonged business interruption within our supply chain; the continuing trend of consolidation of certain customer groups; our dependence on third-party suppliers and distributors for raw materials for our products and certain finished goods; legal, regulatory and legislative efforts by our brand competitors to deter competition from our generic alternatives; our dependence on information technology systems and infrastructure and the potential for cybersecurity incidents; our ability to attract, hire and retain highly skilled personnel; risks related to federal regulation of arrangements between manufacturers of branded and generic products; our reliance on certain licenses to proprietary technologies from time to time; the significant amount of resources we expend on research and development; the risk of claims brought against us by 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; 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 potential expansion into additional international markets subjecting us to increased regulatory, economic, social and political uncertainties; our ability to identify, make and integrate acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses and products on advantageous terms; the impact of global economic, political or other catastrophic events; our obligations under a tax receivable agreement may be significant; and the high concentration of ownership of our Class A common stock and the fact that we are controlled by the Amneal Group. The forward-looking statements contained herein are also subject generally to other risks and uncertainties that are described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in its subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS, 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 (loss), which is net income (loss) adjusted to (A) exclude (i) non-cash interest, (ii) GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) acquisition, site closure expenses, and idle facility expenses, (vi) restructuring and other charges, (vii) (credit) charges related to certain legal matters, including interest, net, (viii) asset impairment charges, (ix) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (x) increase in tax receivable agreement liability, (xi) system implementation expense, (xii) other and (xiii) net income attributable to non-controlling interests not associated with our Class B common stock, and (B) include non-GAAP provision for income taxes. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was calculated using the weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding of Class A common stock. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was calculated using the weighted average diluted shares outstanding of Class A common stock and assuming all shares of Class B common stock were converted to shares of Class A common stock as of January 1, 2023.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations and to better understand its business because they facilitate a comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance relative to its performance based on results calculated under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures also isolate the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance and eliminate certain charges that management believes do not reflect the Company’s operations and underlying operational performance. The compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors also uses certain of these measures to evaluate management’s performance and set its compensation. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures also provide useful information to investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and operating results facilitates an evaluation of the financial performance of the Company and its operations on a consistent basis. Providing this information therefore allows investors to make independent assessments of the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and trends while viewing the information through the eyes of management.
These non-GAAP measures are subject to limitations. The non-GAAP measures presented in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because other companies may not calculate one or more in the same manner. Additionally, the non-GAAP performance measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements; do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and do not reflect interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt. Further, our historical adjusted results are not intended to project our adjusted results of operations or financial position for any future period. To compensate for these limitations, management presents and considers these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP results; no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation from or as alternatives to any measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Readers should review the reconciliations included below, and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.
A reconciliation of each historical non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is set forth below.
