CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Total revenues were $718 million in first-quarter 2021, a decrease of 12% compared to $820 million during the same period in 2020. This result was primarily attributable to decreased Generic Pharmaceuticals and Sterile Injectables segment revenues.

Reported income from continuing operations in first-quarter 2021 was $47 million compared to reported income from continuing operations of $158 million during the same period in 2020. This result was attributable to a first-quarter 2020 discrete tax benefit arising from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). Reported diluted net income per share from continuing operations in first-quarter 2021 was $0.20 compared to reported diluted net income per share from continuing operations in first-quarter 2020 of $0.68.

Adjusted income from continuing operations in first-quarter 2021 was $175 million compared to $220 million in first-quarter 2020. Adjusted diluted net income per share from continuing operations in first-quarter 2021 was $0.73 compared to $0.95 in first-quarter 2020. These decreases were primarily attributable to decreased revenues and higher adjusted operating expenses related to commercial investments.

BRANDED PHARMACEUTICALS SEGMENT

First-quarter 2021 Branded Pharmaceuticals segment revenues were $207 million an increase of 1% compared to $204 million during first-quarter 2020.

Specialty Products revenues increased 7% to $143 million in first-quarter 2021 compared to $134 million in first-quarter 2020, with sales of XIAFLEX^® increasing 7% to $95 million compared to sales of $89 million in first-quarter 2020. Established Products revenues decreased 9% to $63 million in first-quarter 2021 compared to $70 million in first-quarter 2020, driven primarily by ongoing generic competition.

STERILE INJECTABLES SEGMENT

First-quarter 2021 Sterile Injectables segment revenues were $309 million, a decrease of 8% compared to $336 million during first-quarter 2020. This decrease was primarily driven by ongoing generic competition on certain products, partially offset by increased VASOSTRICT^® revenues.

GENERIC PHARMACEUTICALS SEGMENT

First-quarter 2021 Generic Pharmaceuticals segment revenues were $181 million, a decrease of 28% compared to $251 million during first-quarter 2020. This decrease was primarily attributable to continued competitive pressures on certain key products and the impact of COVID-19-related accelerated prescription fulfillment in the first-quarter 2020. This was partially offset by the January 2021 launch of lubiprostone capsules, the first authorized generic of Mallinckrodt's Amitiza^®.

INTERNATIONAL PHARMACEUTICALS SEGMENT

First-quarter 2021 International Pharmaceuticals segment revenues decreased 24% to $22 million compared to $29 million during first-quarter 2020. This decrease was primarily attributable to continued competitive pressures on certain key products.

2021 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Endo is updating its financial guidance for the full-year ending December 31, 2021 by narrowing the expected ranges regarding revenues, adjusted diluted net income per share from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA. The guidance below contemplates a range of potential outcomes that reflect uncertainties in certain key assumptions including, among other things, uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially from Endo's expectations, as further discussed below under the heading "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

	Full-Year 2021
	Prior	Current
Total Revenues, Net	$2.55B - $2.79B	$2.65B - $2.79B
Adjusted EBITDA	$1.12B - $1.28B	$1.18B - $1.28B
Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share from Continuing Operations	$1.80 - $2.30	$1.95 - $2.30
Assumptions:
Adjusted Gross Margin	~70.0% - 71.0%	~70.0% - 71.0%
Adjusted Operating Expenses as a Percentage of Total Revenues, Net	~28.5% - 29.5%	~28.5% - 29.0%

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate	~13.0% - 14.0%	~11.0% - 12.0%

BALANCE SHEET, LIQUIDITY AND OTHER UPDATES

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $1.4 billion in unrestricted cash; $8.3 billion of debt; and a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 5.1.

First-quarter 2021 net cash provided by operating activities was $244 million compared to $63 million during the first-quarter 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in cash flow from the change in net working capital and a decrease in distributions to settle mesh claims.

In March 2021, the Company executed a debt refinancing which increases operational flexibility and extends the maturity schedule of the Company's debt. Additionally, the Company extended the maturity date for substantially its entire revolving credit facility from March 2024 to March 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company utilizes certain financial measures that are not prescribed by or prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for GAAP net income and its components and diluted net income per share amounts. Despite the importance of these measures to management in goal setting and performance measurement, the company stresses that these are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. Because of the non-standardized definitions, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net income from continuing operations and its components (unlike GAAP net income from continuing operations and its components) may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. However, the Company does not provide reconciliations of projected non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures, nor does it provide comparable projected GAAP financial measures for such projected non-GAAP financial measures. The Company is unable to provide such reconciliations without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for asset impairments, contingent consideration adjustments, legal settlements, gain / loss on extinguishment of debt, adjustments to inventory and other charges reflected in the reconciliation of historic numbers, the amounts of which could be significant.

See Endo's Current Report on Form 8-K furnished today to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for an explanation of Endo's non-GAAP financial measures.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the statements by Mr. Coleman, as well as other statements regarding product development, product launch, market potential, corporate strategy and optimization efforts, together with Endo's net income per share from continuing operations amounts, product net sales, revenue forecasts and other financial guidance for full-year 2021 or any other future period, the impact of and response to the COVID-19 pandemic and any other statements that refer to Endo's expected, estimated or anticipated future results. Statements including words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "estimates," "plan," "will," "may," "look forward," "intend," "guidance," "future" or similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Because forecasts are inherently estimates that cannot be made with precision, Endo's performance at times differs materially from its estimates and targets, and Endo often does not know what the actual results will be until after the end of the applicable reporting period. Therefore, Endo will not report or comment on its progress during a current quarter except through public announcement. Any statement made by others with respect to progress during a current quarter cannot be attributed to Endo.

All forward-looking statements in this press release reflect Endo's current analysis of existing trends and information and represent Endo's judgment only as of the date of this press release. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from current expectations based on a number of factors affecting Endo's businesses, including, among other things, the following: changing competitive, market and regulatory conditions; changes in legislation and regulatory developments; Endo's ability to obtain and maintain adequate protection for its intellectual property rights; the timing and uncertainty of the results of both the research and development and regulatory processes, including regulatory decisions, product recalls, withdrawals and other unusual items; domestic and foreign health care and cost containment reforms, including government pricing, tax and reimbursement policies; technological advances and patents obtained by competitors; the performance, including the approval, introduction, and consumer and physician acceptance of new products and the continuing acceptance of currently marketed products; the effectiveness of advertising and other promotional campaigns; the timely and successful implementation of any strategic and/or optimization initiatives; the timing or results of any pending or future litigation, investigations or claims or actual or contingent liabilities, settlement discussions, negotiations or other adverse proceedings, including pending and future opioid-related matters, pending tax matters with the IRS and proceedings that involve or may involve key products such as VASOSTRICT^®; unfavorable publicity regarding the misuse of opioids; the timing and uncertainty of any acquisition, including the possibility that various closing conditions may not be satisfied or waived, uncertainty surrounding the successful integration of any acquired business (such as our recently completed acquisition of BioSpecifics) and failure to achieve the expected financial and commercial results from such acquisition; the uncertainty associated with the identification of and successful consummation and execution of external corporate development initiatives and strategic partnering transactions; and Endo's ability to obtain and successfully manufacture, maintain and distribute a sufficient supply of products to meet market demand in a timely manner. In addition, U.S. and international economic conditions, including higher unemployment, political instability, financial hardship, consumer confidence and debt levels, taxation, changes in interest and currency exchange rates, international relations, capital and credit availability, the status of financial markets and institutions, fluctuations or devaluations in the value of sovereign government debt, the impact of and response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of continued economic volatility, can materially affect Endo's results. Therefore, the reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. Endo expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements except as required to do so by law.
