Business Context and Reporting Period

This report covers the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026.

The company is a large accelerated filer.

Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Net revenue increased 3.9% year-over-year, driven by a 23.1% surge in the Specialty segment (led by CREXONT, BREKIYA, and UNITHROID) and 2.1% growth in Affordable Medicines. AvKARE revenue declined 3.7% due to reduced low-margin distribution sales.
• Profitability Expansion: Operating income rose 41.3% to $141.8 million. Gross margin improved to 44.3% from 36.8%, aided by reduced inventory obsolescence, manufacturing efficiencies, and a $15.2 million reduction in amortization expense.
• Net Income Surge: Net income attributable to Amneal increased 410% to $62.3 million. This was significantly boosted by a $6.9 million gain from derecognizing a financing obligation related to a Pfizer collaboration and a lower effective tax rate (2.7% vs. 34.3% in Q1 2025).
• Cash Flow Shift: Operating cash flow turned negative ($26.7 million outflow) compared to a $7.4 million inflow in the prior year. This was primarily due to $35.9 million in litigation settlement payments (Opioid settlement) and $38.8 million in Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA) payments.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Acquisition of Kashiv BioSciences: On April 21, 2026, Amneal entered a definitive agreement to acquire Kashiv for $375 million in cash and ~29 million shares of Class A stock, plus up to $350 million in contingent payments. Closing is expected in H2 2026. Acquisition costs of $5.2 million were incurred in Q1 2026.
• Legal Settlements: The Nationwide Opioids Settlement Agreement became effective in January 2026. Amneal accrued $79.3 million in liabilities (current and long-term) and made initial payments totaling $35.9 million in Q1. A $21.2 million charge was recorded in Q1 for states electing cash conversion over product, partially offset by a discount on expected payments.
• Debt Refinancing: In February 2026, the company amended its Term Loan Due 2032, reducing interest rate margins by 50 basis points. A $3.5 million loss on refinancing was recognized in Q1.
• Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA): A contingent TRA liability of $131.4 million remains unrecorded. The company paid $38.8 million in Q1 2026 related to the 2024 tax year.
• Subsequent Events: In April 2026, the company made a $75.0 million upfront payment for a supply agreement with MSN Laboratories for generic mirabegron and a $10.5 million distribution to Rondo Class B Unit holders.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Kashiv Acquisition Terms: Verify the final purchase price adjustments, regulatory approval status, and the impact of the 29 million share issuance on existing shareholder dilution.
• Opioid Settlement Cash Flow: Confirm the schedule of remaining cash payments ($97.6 million through 2034) and the potential for additional cash outflows if more states elect the 25% cash conversion option.
• TRA Liability Trigger: Monitor the "more-likely-than-not" threshold for utilizing deferred tax assets, which would trigger the recording of the $131.4 million contingent TRA liability.
• Specialty Segment Sustainability: Assess the durability of revenue growth from CREXONT and BREKIYA given the competitive landscape and potential patent challenges (e.g., Sandoz litigation).
• Liquidity Position: Review the company's ability to fund the $375 million cash portion of the Kashiv acquisition alongside ongoing operational cash outflows and debt service obligations.
