How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Traders can update near-term expectations for Amphastar’s earnings trajectory using the reported revenue, EPS, gross margin drivers, and the disclosed BAQSIMI milestone payment timing in Q3 2026.
Market read
The filing supplies fresh quarterly numbers plus specific product drivers (pricing, competition, unit volume timing) and a concrete future cash payment tied to BAQSIMI sales.
What to watch
The $100M milestone payment due in Q3 2026 to Eli Lilly for BAQSIMI could be a near-term earnings and cash-flow overhang that is easy to miss versus the GAAP and non-GAAP EPS figures.
Amphastar Pharmaceuticals Reports Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026
Second-quarter net revenues and gross margin increased, supported by recently launched higher-margin products, but GAAP net income was lower and several established products faced pricing, competition, and purchasing-timing pressures.

Segments
| Segment | Revenue | q/q | y/y |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAQSIMI®Sales decreased primarily due to a lower average selling price resulting from changes in gross-to-net discounts, chargebacks and rebates, and customer mix. Increased unit volumes driven by continued marketing efforts partially offset the decline. | $45,503 (in thousands) | – | (3)% |
| Primatene MIST®Sales decreased due to the timing of customer purchases rather than changes in underlying consumer demand. In-store demand showed continued growth. | $21,004 (in thousands) | – | (8)% |
| EpinephrineIncreased competition reduced epinephrine multi-dose vial sales, partly offset by higher demand for the pre-filled syringe due to other supplier shortages. | $15,854 (in thousands) | – | (2)% |
| LidocaineNo specific driver was provided. | $15,039 (in thousands) | – | 0% |
| GlucagonSales declined due to a lower average selling price, lower unit volumes, competition, and the continued shift to ready-to-use glucagon products such as BAQSIMI®. | $11,905 (in thousands) | – | (42)% |
| Ipratropium bromideSales followed a successful launch in April 2026. | $8,411 (in thousands) | – | N/A |
| Other productsGrowth was driven by recently launched iron sucrose and teriparatide, increased albuterol unit volumes, heightened demand for phytonadione and sodium bicarbonate, and higher API sales from the ANP subsidiary. | $66,187 (in thousands) | – | 25% |
What drove it
- Recently launched iron sucrose, teriparatide, and ipratropium bromide, plus increased phytonadione sales, were higher-margin products and supported gross margin.
- Albuterol sales increased due to increased unit volumes following its August 2024 launch.
- The Company has one ANDA and one biosimilar insulin candidate filed with the FDA targeting a combined market size exceeding $1.6 billion.
- The Company has two biosimilar products in development targeting a market size exceeding $3.5 billion and three generic products in development targeting a market size of over $1.2 billion.
- The proprietary pipeline includes four recently in-licensed products, including three proprietary peptides and a fully synthetic corticotropin compound.
Concerns
- Lower average selling prices affected BAQSIMI®, glucagon, and epinephrine multi-dose vial sales.
- Glucagon faced competition and a continued shift to ready-to-use glucagon products such as BAQSIMI®.
- Epinephrine multi-dose vial sales were affected by increased competition.
- Manufacturing expenses increased due to expansion of the Rancho Cucamonga, CA manufacturing facility.
- Selling, distribution, and marketing expense increased due to freight expense and BAQSIMI® marketing efforts.
- General and administrative expense increased due to legal expenses, a new ERP system, and salary and personnel-related expenses.
- Research and development expense increased due to clinical trials expense for insulin pipeline products and salary and personnel-related expenses.
What to watch
- Payment of $100.0 million to Lilly in the third quarter of 2026 following achievement of the BAQSIMI® annual net sales milestone.
- BAQSIMI® average selling price, gross-to-net discounts, chargebacks, rebates, customer mix, and unit volumes.
- Sustainability of Primatene MIST® in-store demand following customer-purchase timing effects.
- Commercial uptake of ipratropium bromide following its April 2026 launch.
- Development progress for the filed ANDA, biosimilar insulin candidate, biosimilar products, generic products, and proprietary pipeline.
Balance sheet and cash flow
- Cash flow provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $99.2 million.
- BAQSIMI® sales of $175.0 million for the contract year achieved the first annual net sales milestone under the asset purchase agreement with Eli Lilly & Company.
- The BAQSIMI® milestone triggers a payment of $100.0 million to Lilly due in the third quarter of 2026.
Analysis
Amphastar reported second-quarter net revenues of $183.9 million, compared with $174.4 million in the prior-year period. The growth came from other products, which generated $66.2 million and increased 25%, and from $8.4 million of ipratropium bromide sales following its April 2026 launch. Established products were uneven: BAQSIMI® declined 3%, Primatene MIST® declined 8%, epinephrine declined 2%, and glucagon declined 42%.
Product mix supported profitability at the gross-profit level. Gross profit was $93.5 million, compared with $86.5 million, while gross profit as a percentage of net revenues rose to 50.8% from 49.6%. The company attributed the improvement to recently launched iron sucrose, teriparatide, and ipratropium bromide, along with higher phytonadione sales, partially offset by lower average selling prices in BAQSIMI®, glucagon, and epinephrine multi-dose vial products and higher manufacturing costs from facility expansion.
Higher operating expenses and product-level pricing pressure weighed on earnings. Selling, distribution, and marketing expense was $13.3 million, general and administrative expense was $18.2 million, and research and development expense was $22.2 million. GAAP net income was $30.3 million versus $31.0 million, while adjusted non-GAAP net income was $40.8 million versus $40.9 million. GAAP diluted EPS was $0.67 per share and adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.91 per share.
Capital and liquidity attention centers on the BAQSIMI® milestone. Contract-year BAQSIMI® sales of $175.0 million achieved the first annual net sales milestone, triggering a $100.0 million payment to Lilly due in the third quarter of 2026. Cash flow provided by operating activities was $99.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The company did not provide forward financial guidance, so the next reporting period will be important for the effect of the milestone payment, the launch trajectory of ipratropium bromide, and trends in pricing and volumes across BAQSIMI®, glucagon, and epinephrine.
Management, verbatim
Our second quarter results reflect the continued execution of our long-term strategy to build a more diversified and innovative biopharmaceutical company. While we continued to navigate pricing and competitive dynamics across portions of our portfolio, we successfully achieved key goals including overall revenue growth, expansion of gross margins, meaningful launches of new products, and continued advancement from both our generic and proprietary development pipelines. These results demonstrate the strength of our integrated business model and position us well for long-term sustainable growth.

Background
This is an SEC Form 8-K (Item 2.02) with Amphastar’s Q2 2026 financial results and product-level revenue commentary.
Ticker impact
Amphastar reported Q2 ended June 30, 2026 results, including net revenues of $183.9M and GAAP EPS of $0.67.
Near-term volatility possible around earnings interpretation, but direction depends on whether investors focus on revenue growth, margin expansion, and the upcoming $100M milestone payment.
The filing provides concrete financial results and segment drivers, plus a specific third-quarter 2026 cash outflow trigger ($100M) related to the Eli Lilly BAQSIMI milestone.
Market effects
Provides read-through on generic/proprietary injectable and inhalation product pricing, discounting, and competitive dynamics for specialty pharma peers.
Limited, company-specific impact centered on Amphastar’s Rancho Cucamonga manufacturing expansion and operating expenses.
Low; primarily US-focused product portfolio and contract milestone mechanics.
Counterpoint
Investors may discount the headline revenue growth if gross-to-net discount changes and competitive pressure on key products (BAQSIMI, epinephrine, glucagon) are viewed as structurally recurring.
