BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMRX) (“Amneal” or the “Company”) announced its results today for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.

“2021 was a transformational year for Amneal as we delivered strong financial results, including 18 percent adjusted EBITDA growth, and advanced our evolution into a diversified biopharmaceutical company. We continued to deepen our robust R&D pipeline and added compelling assets in key growth areas – including Injectables, Specialty and Biosimilars. We enter 2022 feeling great about our future growth prospects and well positioned as we focus on further diversifying and scaling in high-growth markets. We are proud of our team’s execution and confident in creating substantial value for all stakeholders,” said Chirag and Chintu Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officers.

Net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $537 million, an increase of 5% compared to $510 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was driven by Generic new product launches and growth in our promoted Specialty products, including Rytary® and Unithroid®, partially offset by price erosion. Net loss attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to a net loss of $3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $126 million, an increase of 18% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, reflective of higher adjusted gross profit driven by higher revenues, reduced material costs and operating efficiencies, partially offset by higher expenses. Adjusted diluted EPS⁽¹⁾ in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $0.18, an increase of 29% from $0.14 in the fourth quarter of 2020, which reflects growth in adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾.

Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $2,094 million, an increase of 5% compared to $1,993 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was driven by Generic new product launches, growth in our promoted Specialty products, including Rytary® and Unithroid®, and growth in our AvKARE segment, partially offset by price erosion. Net income attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was $11 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to net income of $91 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which included a discrete tax benefit of $110 million related to the CARES Act. Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $538 million, an increase of 18% compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, reflective of adjusted gross margin improvements in all three segments due to higher revenues, reduced material costs and operating efficiencies, which was partially offset by higher expenses. Adjusted diluted EPS⁽¹⁾ in the year ended December 31, 2021 was $0.85, an increase of 35% from $0.63 for the year ended December 31, 2020, which reflects growth in adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾.

2022 Financial Guidance

Amneal’s 2022 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 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 earnings per share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted cost of goods sold, adjusted selling general and administrative expense, and adjusted research and development expense, which are intended as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. The calculation of non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion of all outstanding shares of class B Common Stock to shares of class A Common Stock under the if-converted method.

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

These non-GAAP measures are subject to limitations. The non-GAAP measures presented in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because other companies may not calculate one or more in the same manner. Additionally, the non-GAAP performance measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements; do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and do not reflect interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt. Further, our historical adjusted results are not intended to project our adjusted results of operations or financial position for any future period. To compensate for these limitations, management presents and considers these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP results; no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation from or as alternatives to net income, diluted earnings per share, gross profit, gross margin, operating income, cost of goods sold, selling general and administrative expense, and research and development expense 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 historical non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is set forth below.
