ANI Pharmaceuticals reports Q3 adjusted EPS $1.27, consensus 84c

Reports Q3 revenue $131.8M, consensus $111.92M. Nikhil Lalwani, President and CEO of ANI stated, “Strong execution has resulted in another record quarter for revenue and adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA, positioning us to raise full year 2023 guidance for the third consecutive quarter. Launch momentum of our lead Rare Disease asset, Purified Cortrophin Gel, continues to accelerate, with record quarterly new cases initiated and new patient starts, and increasing momentum with new unique prescribers, including many prescribers who were naive to ACTH therapy. In addition, the Company has received positive initial physician response in our new areas of pulmonology and acute gouty arthritis. We remain committed to increasing the scope and scale of our Rare Disease portfolio and believe that the strength of our financial results and cash flow position us well for targeted M&A and in-licensing.” “Our Generics and Established Brands businesses also performed well, delivering record quarterly revenues, and we continued to leverage our operational excellence and U.S.-based manufacturing footprint to serve patients facing pharmaceutical shortages due to supply chain disruptions. While we see softening of specific market opportunities that persisted in prior quarters, we believe we are poised to capitalize on current and future opportunities as a partner of choice for our customers. Our strong R&D capabilities were further demonstrated through the launch of five new products as well as the filing of three ANDAs and two 505(b)2 applications during the quarter. As we approach the end of 2023, I believe that our efforts during the year have created a strong foundation for continued success and fulfilling our purpose of Serving Patients, Improving Lives,” concluded Lalwani.
