In the fourth quarter of 2024, Amneal Pharmaceuticals reported a net revenue of $731 million, marking an 18% increase from the $617 million recorded in the same period in 2023.

This growth was primarily driven by a 21% increase in revenues from Affordable Medicines due to new product launches, biosimilars and several complex products.

The Specialty segment also reported a 16% increase, bolstered by key branded products including CREXONT®.

For the full year, the company’s net revenue reached $2.79 billion, up 17% from $2.39 billion in 2023. However, the net loss for the year widened to $117 million from $84 million, primarily due to higher interest expenses offsetting increased operating income.

This guidance reflects the company’s strategic initiatives aimed at expanding areas such as Specialty, Biosimilars and GLP-1 therapies.
