Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMRX) stock experienced a sharp decline of 7.78% on November 8, 2024, after the company reported its third-quarter 2024 financial results. Despite posting a 13% year-over-year increase in revenue to $702 million, driven by gains in its generic and specialty drug portfolio, Amneal swung to a net loss of $156,000 in the quarter, compared to a profit of $10 million in the same period last year.
The net loss was primarily attributed to a nearly $15 million increase in Amneal's interest expense compared to the year-ago quarter. This higher interest expense offset the company's revenue growth and contributed to the disappointing bottom-line performance.
Amneal's revenue beat analyst expectations of $693.8 million, and the company reaffirmed its full-year 2024 guidance, projecting adjusted EPS of $0.57 to $0.63 and revenue of $2.70 billion to $2.80 billion. However, the swing to a net loss in Q3 appears to have overshadowed these positive factors, leading to a significant decline in the company's stock price.
