Management, verbatim
Amneal delivered another quarter of strong, broad-based performance, enabling us to increase our 2026 guidance once more. As we prepare to enter 2027, our financial performance is accelerating driven by a number of key catalysts and new launches, including Women’s Health patches, biosimilars, injectables such as lanreotide, CREXONT ® , and BREKIYA ® autoinjector. The Kashiv integration is proceeding well, and we are excited about the long-term growth potential in biosimilars.
