NORTHVALE, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / November 16, 2020 / Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc.. ("Elite" or the "Company") (OTCBB:ELTP), a specialty pharmaceutical company developing and manufacturing niche generic products, announced results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 ended September 30, 2020 ("Second Quarter").
Consolidated revenues for the Second Quarter were $7.4 million, an increase of approximately 60% as compared to revenues for the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year. This marks the sixth consecutive quarter of year-on-year revenue growth during which the revenues grew an average of 112% per quarter on a year-on-year basis.
The increase in revenues was largely attributed to generic extended extended-release Adderall® which was launched earlier in this fiscal year and increased sales of generic immediate-release Adderall® during the Second Quarter.

Cash provided by operations during the six months ended September 30, 2020 was $2.7 million, an increase of approximately $3.0 million from the net cash used in operations of $0.3 million during the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.
