  • Amneal Pharmaceuticals Inc AMRX reports Q3 revenue of $529 million, a marginal increase of 2% Y/Y, missing the consensus of $545.06 million.

  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 19% to $135 million, reflective of an increase in gross profit.
  • Outlook: Amneal updates FY21 guidance and expects sales of approximately $2.1 billion (consensus of $2.14 billion) against prior guidance of $2.1 billion - $2.2 billion.
  • The Company raised adjusted EBITDA guidance to $530 million - $550 million and EPS outlook to $0.78 - $0.88, compared to the earlier outlook of $500 million - $540 million and $0.70 - $0.85, respectively.
