1.    BUSINESS, PRESENTATION, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Overview
ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (together, “ANI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a diversified bio-pharmaceutical company serving patients in need by developing, manufacturing, and marketing high quality branded and generic prescription pharmaceuticals, including for diseases with high unmet medical need. The team is focused on delivering growth by scaling up the Rare Disease business through the successful launch of its lead asset, Cortrophin Gel, strengthening our generics business with enhanced development capability, innovation in established brands and leveraging our manufacturing capabilities. The Company's three pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, of which two are located in Baudette, Minnesota, and one is located in East Windsor, New Jersey, are together capable of producing oral solid dose products, as well as semi-solids, liquids and topicals, controlled substances, and potent products that must be manufactured in a fully-contained environment. The Company has ceased operations at our subsidiary in Oakville, Ontario, Canada as of March 31, 2023. This action was part of ongoing initiatives to capture operational synergies following our acquisition of Novitium Pharma LLC (“Novitium”) in November 2021. The Company previously completed the transition of the products manufactured or packaged in Oakville to one of the three U.S.-based manufacturing sites. On November 6, 2023, ANI Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of the Oakville, Ontario manufacturing facility (see Note 16).
The Company's operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, current and potential competitors with greater resources, dependence on significant customers, and possible fluctuations in financial results.
In May 2023, through a public offering, the Company completed the issuance and sale of 2,183,545 shares of ANI common stock, resulting in net proceeds after issuance costs of $80.6 million.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Therefore, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto previously distributed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”), as filed with the SEC.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
12


Foreign Currency
The Company has ceased operations at our subsidiary in Oakville, Ontario, Canada as of March 31, 2023. We currently have a subsidiary located in India. The Canada-based subsidiary conducted its transactions in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars, but its functional currency was the U.S. dollar. The Indian-based subsidiary generally conducts its transactions in Indian rupees, which is also its functional currency. The results of any non-U.S. dollar transactions and balances are remeasured in U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates during the period and resulting foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of net income. The gain or loss on transactions denominated in foreign currencies and the translation impact of local currencies to U.S. dollars was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Unless otherwise noted, all references to “$” or “dollar” refer to the U.S. dollar. The Company’s asset and liability accounts are translated using the current exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. Shareholders’ equity accounts are translated using historical rates at the balance sheet date. Net revenues and expense accounts are translated using a weighted average exchange rate over the period ended on the balance sheet date. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars are accumulated as a separate component of shareholders’ equity within accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the condensed consolidated financial statements, estimates are used for, but not limited to, variable consideration determined based on accruals for chargebacks, administrative fees and rebates, government rebates, returns and other allowances, income tax provision or benefit, deferred taxes and valuation allowance, stock-based compensation, revenue recognition, allowance for inventory obsolescence, valuation of financial instruments and intangible assets, accruals for contingent liabilities, including contingent consideration in acquisitions, fair value of long-lived assets, determination of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, allowance for credit losses, and the depreciable lives of long-lived assets. Because of the uncertainties inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ from those estimates. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for reasonableness.
Restructuring Activities
The Company defines restructuring activities to include costs directly associated with exit or disposal activities. Such costs include cash employee contractual severance and other termination benefits, one-time employee termination severance and benefits, contract termination charges, impairment and acceleration of depreciation associated with long-lived assets, and other exit or disposal costs. In general, we record involuntary employee- related exit and disposal costs when there is a substantive plan for employee severance and related payments are probable and estimable. For one-time termination benefits, including those with a service requirement, expense is recorded when the employees are entitled to receive such benefits and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Expense related to one-time termination benefits with a service requirement is recorded over time, as the service is completed. Contract termination fees and penalties, and other exit and disposal costs are generally recorded as incurred. Restructuring activities are recognized as an operating expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. The Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.




13


Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions, that may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur, for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The guidance in this ASU was extended in December 2022 when the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, extending the sunset date under Topic 848 to December 31, 2024 to align the temporary accounting relief guidance with the expected LIBOR cessation.
In August 2023, the Company completed the transition of its debt and derivative instruments from LIBOR to Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") and applied the optional expedients in ASC 848 related to contract modifications and changing critical terms of the Company’s hedging relationships. Application of these expedients allowed the Company to preserve presentation of derivatives as qualifying cash flow hedges and to account for the debt modification as a continuation of the existing contract. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
2.    REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RELATED ALLOWANCES
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue using the following steps:
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
Determination of the transaction price, including the identification and estimation of variable consideration;
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
Recognition of revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation.
Revenues are primarily derived from sales of generic, rare disease, and established brand pharmaceutical products, royalties, and other pharmaceutical services. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of contracts with customers are satisfied, which generally occurs when control of the products we sell is transferred to the customer. Variable consideration is estimated after the consideration of applicable information that is reasonably available. The Company generally does not have incremental costs to obtain contracts that would otherwise not have been incurred. The Company does not adjust revenue for the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component because our customers generally pay us within 100 days.
All revenue recognized in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers. The following table depicts the disaggregation of revenue:

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not incur, and therefore did not defer, any material incremental costs to obtain or fulfill contracts. The Company recognized an increase of $8.5 million to net revenue from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, consisting primarily of revised estimates for variable consideration, including chargebacks, rebates, returns, and other allowances, related to prior period sales. We recognized a decrease of $2.6 million to net revenue from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, consisting primarily of revised estimates for variable consideration, including chargebacks, rebates, returns, and other allowances, related to prior period sales.
As of September 30, 2023, there were no contract assets recorded which were related to revenue recognized based on percentage of completion but not yet billed. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, no deferred revenue was recognized. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, less than $0.1 million of deferred revenue was recognized that was included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021. Deferred revenue is included in accrued expenses and other in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of September 30, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations for all open contract manufacturing customer contracts was $4.0 million, which consists of firm orders for contract manufactured products. We will recognize revenue for these performance obligations as they are satisfied, which is anticipated within six months.
Variable consideration
Sales of pharmaceutical products are subject to variable consideration due to chargebacks, government rebates, returns, administrative and other rebates, and cash discounts. Estimates for these elements of variable consideration require significant judgment.

3.    RESTRUCTURING
On March 31, 2023 the Company ceased operations at the Oakville, Ontario, Canada manufacturing plant. This action was part of ongoing initiatives to capture operational synergies following our acquisition of Novitium in November 2021. ANI has completed the transition of the products manufactured or packaged in Oakville to one of the Company's three U.S.-based manufacturing sites. On November 6, 2023, ANI Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of the Oakville, Ontario manufacturing facility (see Note 16).
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, restructuring activities resulted in expenses of $1.1 million. This included $0.2 million of severance and other employee benefit costs and $0.7 million of accelerated depreciation costs and $0.2 million for other miscellaneous costs, respectively. There were no restructuring activities recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, $0.1 million of the severance and other employee benefits are unpaid and accrued. These costs are recorded as restructuring activities, an operating item, in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and are part of the Generics, Established Brands, and Other segment. Certain of the severance and other employee benefit costs contain a service requirement, and as such, were accrued over time as they were earned.
In conjunction with the exit of the Canadian facility, the Company has determined that the land and building at the Oakville, Ontario, Canada plant will be sold together and met the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2023. The land and building have a net carrying value of $8.0 million, which is presented as assets held for sale on the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. These assets are part of the Generics, Established Brands, and Other segment.
4.    INDEBTEDNESS
Credit Facility
On November 19, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Novitium pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 8, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Novitium, Nile Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and certain other parties, with Novitium becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ANI.

On November 19, 2021, the Company, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank and other lenders, which provides for credit facilities consisting of (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate commitment amount of $40.0 million, which may be used for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit (the “Revolving Facility,” and together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Term Facility proceeds were used to finance the cash portion of the consideration under the Merger Agreement, repay the existing credit facility, and pay fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the merger. The Term Facility matures in November 2027 and the Revolving Facility in November 2026.
Each permits both base rate borrowings (“ABR Loans”) and Eurodollar rate borrowings (“Eurodollar Loans”), plus a spread of (a) 5.00% above the base rate in the case of ABR Loans under the Term Facility and 6.00% above the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in the case of LIBOR loans under the Term Facility and (b) 3.75% above the base rate in the case of ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility and 4.75% above the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in the case of loans under the Revolving Facility. The Credit Facility has a subjective acceleration clause in case of a material adverse effect. As of September 30, 2023, we had not drawn on the Revolving Facility and $40.0 million remained available for borrowing subject to certain conditions.
Amendment No. 1

In July 2023, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to transition from LIBOR to SOFR due to the cessation of LIBOR pursuant to the terms of Amendment No.1 to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”). SOFR will be applied to the Credit Facility for the interest period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) beginning on August 1, 2023 and will replace all LIBOR terms. Amendment No. 1 also includes the addition of a credit spread adjustment of 0.11448% for an interest period of one-month duration, 0.26161% for a three-month duration, and 0.42826% for a six-month duration, in addition to SOFR and the applicable margin, as noted above. There were no other changes or modifications to the Credit Agreement. The Company has applied the optional expedients in ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform, and elected to treat the change in the benchmark interest rate to SOFR as a continuation of the existing Credit Agreement and account for the change prospectively.

The interest rate under the Term Facility was 11.45% at September 30, 2023.
The Company incurred $14.0 million in deferred debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Facility. Costs allocated to the Term Facility are classified as a direct reduction to the current and non-current portion of the borrowings, depending on their nature. Costs allocated to the Revolving Facility are classified as other current and other non-current assets, depending on their nature. A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum is assessed on any unused portion of the Revolving Facility.
The Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s and its principal domestic subsidiary’s assets and any future domestic subsidiary guarantors’ assets. The Credit Facility is subject to customary financial and nonfinancial covenants.
The carrying value of the current and non-current components of the Term Facility as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are:

As of September 30, 2023, outstanding principal was $294.8 million on the Term Facility. Of the $0.7 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs allocated to the Revolving Facility, $0.5 million is included in other non-current assets in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets, and $0.2 million is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

5.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT AND HEDGING ACTIVITY
At times the Company may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposure to interest rate risks. All derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet and are classified as current or non-current based on the scheduled maturity of the instrument.
When entering into a hedge arrangement and intend to apply hedge accounting, the Company formally documents the hedge relationship and will designate the instrument for financial reporting purposes as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a net investment hedge. When it is determined that a derivative financial instrument qualifies as a cash flow hedge and is effective, the changes in fair value of the instrument are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax in the consolidated balance sheets and will be reclassified to earnings when the hedged item affects earnings.
In April 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with Citizens Bank, N.A. to manage its exposure to changes in LIBOR-based interest rates underlying total borrowings under term facilities related to the Prior Credit Agreement, and the interest rate swap matures in December 2026. Concurrent with the termination of the Prior Credit Agreement and entry into the Credit Agreement with Truist Bank, the interest rate swap with a notional value of $168.6 million at origin on November 21, 2021 was novated and Truist Bank is the new counterparty.
As described further below, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to transition from LIBOR to SOFR due to the cessation of LIBOR, and accordingly, the interest rate swap transitioned from LIBOR to SOFR. The swap is used to manage changes in SOFR-based interest rates underlying a portion of the borrowing under the Term Facility.
The interest rate swap provides an effective fixed interest rate of 2.26% and has been designated as an effective cash flow hedge and therefore qualifies for hedge accounting. As of September 30, 2023, the notional amount of the interest rate swap was $139.4 million and decreases quarterly by approximately $4.0 million until December 2023, after which it remains static until maturity in December 2026. As of September 30, 2023, the fair value of the interest rate swap asset recorded in other non-current assets in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets was $10.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, $14.1 million was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
18


During the three months ended September 30, 2023 , the change in fair value of the interest rate swaps was a gain of $0.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the change in fair value of the interest rate swaps was a gain of $0.3 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the gain on the interest rate swap of $0.4 million and $1.9 million was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), respectively. Differences between the hedged SOFR rate and the fixed rate are recorded as interest expense in the same period that the related interest is recorded for the Term Facility based on the SOFR rate. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $0.7 million and $1.8 million of interest expense was recognized in relation to the interest rate swaps, respectively. Included in this amount for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $0.7 million and $0.7 million and during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are $2.1 million and $2.1 million in expense related to terminated and de-designated cash flow hedges.
In conjunction with the amendment of the Credit Agreement (see note 4), the Company’s derivative positions automatically transitioned to SOFR, the designated fallback terms, as determined by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association on August 1, 2023. Concurrently, the Company updated its hedge documentation to reflect the change of the benchmark index, which changed solely as a result of reference rate reform. Under ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform, hedge accounting may continue without de-designation if certain criteria are met. For cash flow hedges in which the designated hedged risk is LIBOR (or another rate that is expected to be discontinued), the guidance allows an entity to assert that it remains probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will occur. The Company applied the optional expedient within ASC 848 to conclude the updates to the hedge relationship due to reference rate reform did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
6.    EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
For periods of net income, and when the effects are not anti-dilutive, we calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the impact of all potential dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of common stock options, shares to be purchased under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), and performance stock units, using the more dilutive of the treasury stock or the two-class method. For periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is calculated similarly to basic loss per share.
Unvested restricted shares and Series A convertible preferred stock shares contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, and therefore are considered to be participating securities; in periods of net income, the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share excludes from the numerator net income (but not net loss) attributable to the unvested restricted shares and the common shares assumed converted from the preferred shares and excludes the impact of those shares from the denominator.

Earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are calculated for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share as follows:

The number of anti-dilutive shares, which have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, was 2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, all potentially dilutive shares were anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because we recognized a net loss.

Vendor Concentration
Raw materials are sourced for products, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”), from both domestic and international suppliers. Generally, only a single source of API is qualified for use in each product due to the cost and time required to validate a second source of supply. As a result, the Company is dependent upon our current vendors to reliably supply the API required for on-going product manufacturing. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, no single vendor represented more than 10% of inventory purchases. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, no single vendor represented more than 10% of inventory purchases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, one vendor represented 13% of inventory purchases.

8.    GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
As a result of the 2013 merger with BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“BioSante”), goodwill of $1.8 million was recognized. As a result of the acquisition of WellSpring Pharma Services Inc. in 2018, goodwill of $1.7 million was recognized. From the acquisition of Novitium in 2021, goodwill of $24.6 million was recognized. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had two operating segments, which were also deemed the Company's two reporting units, Generics, Established Brands, and Other reporting unit and the Rare Disease reporting unit. All of the goodwill is recorded in our Generics, Established Brands, and Other reporting unit.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, at October 31st, or more frequently if a triggering event occurs between impairment testing dates. The Company’s impairment assessment begins with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors may include, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, and other relevant entity and Company specific events. If, based on the qualitative test, the Company determines that it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then we evaluate goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of our reporting unit to its respective carrying value, including its goodwill. If it is determined that it is “not likely” that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then no further testing is required. There have been no events or changes in circumstances that would have reduced the fair value of the Generics, Established Brands, and Other reporting unit below its carrying value during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, no impairment charges have been recognized.

Definite-lived intangible assets arising from business combinations and other asset acquisitions include intangibles such as Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”), New Drug Applications (“NDAs”) and product rights, marketing and distribution rights, customer relationships, and non-compete agreements. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the estimated period during which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Definite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost, net of amortization, and generally amortized over their remaining estimated useful lives, ranging from seven to 10 years, based on the straight-line amortization method. In the case of certain NDAs and product rights assets, an accelerated amortization method is used to better match the anticipated economic benefits expected to be provided. Definite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that these asset might be impaired.

21


During the three months ended September 30, 2023, approximately $6.8 million was reclassified from indefinite-lived in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) to acquired ANDAs and approximately $2.8 million of acquired ANDA intangible assets were capitalized related to the August 14, 2023 transaction with Slayback Pharma Limited Liability Company (“Slayback”), a New Jersey-based company focused on complex generic and specialty pharmaceutical products (see Note 13).
Amortization expense for definite-lived intangibles was $13.3 million and $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $39.0 million and $36.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
No impairment losses were recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an impairment charge of approximately $0.1 million was recognized in relation to an ANDA asset.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill include primarily IPR&D projects. IPR&D intangible assets represent the fair value of technology acquired in a business combination or asset acquisition for which the technology projects are incomplete but have substance or alternative future use. When an IPR&D project is completed (generally upon receipt of regulatory approval), then the IPR&D will be accounted for as a definite-lived intangible asset.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, and the Company tests for impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. No impairment losses were recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Mezzanine Equity
PIPE Shares
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and as financing for a portion of the acquisition, on March 8, 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Commitment and Investment Agreement with Ampersand 2020 Limited Partnership (the “PIPE Investor”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investor purchased 25,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $1,000 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million on November 19, 2021. The PIPE Shares are classified as mezzanine equity because the shares are mandatorily redeemable for cash upon a change in control, an event that is not solely within the Company's control.
The PIPE Shares accrue dividends at 6.50% per year on a cumulative basis, payable in cash or in-kind, and will also participate, on a pro-rata basis, in any dividends that may be declared with respect to our common stock. The PIPE Shares are convertible into common shares at the conversion price of $41.47 (i) beginning two years after their issuance date, at the election of ANI (in which case the PIPE Investor must convert all of the PIPE Shares), if the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for any 20 trading days out of 30 consecutive trading days exceeds 170% of the conversion price, and (ii) at any time after issuance, at the election of the PIPE Investor. As of September 30, 2023, the PIPE shares are currently convertible into a maximum of 602,901 shares of common stock.
In case of a liquidation event, the holder of the PIPE Shares will be entitled to receive, in preference to holders of the Company's common stock, the greater of (i) the PIPE Shares’ purchase price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and (ii) the amount the holder of the PIPE Shares would have received in the liquidation event if it had converted its PIPE Shares into common stock. The PIPE Shares will have voting rights, voting as one series with the holders of common stock, on as-converted basis, and will have separate voting rights on any (i) amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate”) that adversely amends and relates solely to the terms of the PIPE Shares and (ii) issuance of additional Series A convertible preferred stock. In case of a change of control, the PIPE Shares will be redeemed at the greater of (i) the PIPE Shares’ purchase price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and (ii) the change of control transaction consideration that the PIPE Investor would have received if it had converted into shares of common stock.
10.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In July 2016, we commenced administration of the ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. As of September 30, 2023, we had 0.1 million shares of common stock available under the ESPP. Under the ESPP, participants can purchase common shares of the Company's stock at a 15% discount on the lowest share price on the first day of the purchase period or the last day of the purchase period.
The following table summarizes ESPP expense incurred under the 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and included in our accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Stock Incentive Plan
Equity-based service awards are granted under the ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Amended and Restated 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which was approved by its stockholders at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on April 27, 2022. During the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 23, 2023, stockholders approved an amendment of the 2022 Plan (the 2023 Stock Plan Amendment). The 2023 Stock Plan Amendment increased the shares authorized for issuance under the 2022 Plan by 750,000 additional shares. As of September 30, 2023, 1.1 million shares of common stock were available for issuance under the 2022 Plan.

Stock Options: Outstanding stock options to purchase shares of common stock are granted to employees and consultants generally vest over a period of four years and have 10-year contractual terms. Outstanding stock options granted to non-employee directors generally vest over a period of one to four years and have 10-year contractual terms.
From time to time, stock options are granted to employees through an inducement grant outside of our 2022 Plan to induce prospective employees to accept employment with the Company (the “Inducement Grants”). The options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the respective grant date and are generally exercisable in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the respective grant date. The grants are made pursuant to inducement grants outside of our stockholder approved equity plan as permitted under the Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules.
Restricted Stock Awards: Restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) granted to employees generally vest over a period of four years and RSAs granted to non-officer directors generally vest over a period of one year.
During the vesting period, the recipient of the RSAs has full voting rights as a stockholder and would receive dividends, if declared, even though the restricted stock remains subject to transfer restrictions and will generally be forfeited upon termination of the officer prior to vesting. The fair value of each RSA is based on the market value of our stock on the date of grant. Upon vesting, unrestricted shares of common stock are delivered to employees and directors.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units: Awards may also be issued in the form of Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”). PSUs represent the right to receive an amount of cash, a number of shares of common stock or a combination of both, contingent upon the achievement of specified performance objectives during a specified performance period. PSUs granted to date vest over a three-year performance period. On February 28, 2023, as part of the Company's equity compensation program, we granted PSUs to certain executives. Of these PSUs, 50% were market performance-based restricted stock units (“MPRSUs”), vesting of which is contingent upon the Company meeting certain total shareholder return (“TSR”) levels as compared to a select peer group over the over three years starting January 1, 2023. The MPRSUs are also subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service through December 31, 2025. The MPRSUs cliff vest at the end of the three-year period and have a maximum potential to vest at 200% (85,099 shares) based on TSR performance. The related share-based compensation expense is determined based on the estimated fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and is recognized straight-line over the vesting term. The estimated grant date fair value per share of the MPRSUs was $68.65 and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. These MPRSUs are included at 100% of the estimate number of shares at the end of the three-year performance period and are reflected under “Granted” in the table below.
The other 50% of the PSUs were performance based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), vesting of which is contingent upon the Company meeting certain adjusted non-GAAP year-on-year EBITDA growth rates over the over three years starting January 1, 2023. The PRSUs are also subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service through December 31, 2025. The PRSUs cliff vest at the end of the three-year period and have a maximum potential to vest at 200% (85,099 shares) based on adjusted non-GAAP year-on-year EBITDA growth rates. The related share-based compensation expense is determined based on the estimated fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and is recognized straight-line over the vesting term. The Company analyzed progress on the performance goals to assess the likelihood of achievement. The estimated grant date fair value per share of the PRSUs was $41.84 based on the closing price of the stock on the date of grant. These PRSUs are included at 100% of the estimated number of shares at the end of the three-year performance period and are reflected under “Granted” in the table below.

(2)Includes 111 thousand shares purchased from employees to cover employee income taxes related to income earned upon vesting of restricted stock. The shares purchased are held in treasury and the $4.8 million total purchase price for the shares is included in Treasury stock in our accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
11.    INCOME TAXES
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.
The measurement of a deferred tax asset is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of September 30, 2023, we had provided a valuation allowance against consolidated net deferred tax assets of $0.4 million, related solely to deferred tax assets for net operating loss carryforwards in certain U.S. state jurisdictions.
We use a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. We have not identified any uncertain income tax positions that could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. We recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax exposures as a component of income tax expense; we did not have any such amounts accrued as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We are subject to taxation in various U.S. jurisdictions, Canada, and India and all of our income tax returns remain subject to examination by tax authorities due to the availability of NOL carryforwards.
25


For interim periods, we recognize an income tax benefit (provision) based on our estimated annual effective tax rate, calculated on a worldwide consolidated basis, expected for the entire year. The interim annual estimated effective tax rate is based on the statutory tax rates then in effect, as adjusted for estimated changes in estimated permanent differences and excludes certain discrete items whose tax effect, when material, are recognized in the interim period in which they occur. These changes in permanent differences and discrete items result in variances to the effective tax rate from period to period. We also have elected to exclude the impacts from significant pre-tax non-recognized subsequent events from our interim estimated annual effective rate until the period in which they occur. Our estimated annual effective tax rate changes throughout the year as our on-going estimates of pre-tax income, and changes in permanent differences are revised, and as discrete items occur. Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), as defined in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, generated from our Canadian and Indian operations is subject to U.S. taxes, with certain defined exemptions, thresholds and credits. For financial reporting purposes we have elected to treat GILTI inclusions as a period cost.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $1.6 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 13.6% after discrete items for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of the U.S. federal research and development credit, permanent differences, and stock based compensation.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $3.6 million. The income tax benefit resulted from applying an estimated annual worldwide effective tax benefit rate of 29.6% to pre-tax consolidated loss of $12.2 million reported during the period. There were no material discrete items occurring during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $1.3 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 6.9% after discrete items for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of the U.S. federal research and development credit, permanent differences, and stock based compensation.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $13.3 million. The income tax benefit resulted from applying an estimated annual worldwide effective tax rate of 23.3% to pre-tax consolidated loss of $56.9 million reported during the period. There were no material discrete items occurring during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
We expect that recent tax law changes contained in Inflation Reduction Act and the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act of 2022 (“CHIPS Act”) will not have a material impact on the provision for income taxes.
12.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases
In April 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to lease additional warehouse space in East Windsor, New Jersey. The lease has a term of five years, and was classified as an operating lease. The lease was capitalized on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Government Regulation
Products and facilities are subject to regulation by a number of federal and state governmental agencies, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (“CDSCO”), The Narcotics Control Bureau (“NCB”), and India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (“MoHFW”). The FDA, in particular, maintains oversight of the formulation, manufacture, distribution, packaging, and labeling of all of the Company's products. The DEA and NCB maintain oversight over products that are considered controlled substances.
26


Unapproved Products
Three products, Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone (“EEMT”), Opium Tincture, and Thyroid Tablets are marketed without approved NDAs or ANDAs. If the FDA took enforcement action against the Company, we may be required to seek FDA approval for the group of products or withdraw them from the market. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, net revenues for these products totaled $9.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, net revenues for these products totaled $16.4 million and $10.0 million, respectively.
In addition, one group of products that are manufactured on behalf of a contract customer is marketed by that customer without an approved NDA. If the FDA took enforcement action against such customer, the customer may be required to seek FDA approval for the group of products or withdraw them from the market. Contract manufacturing revenues for the group of unapproved products for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were less than $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Contract manufacturing revenues for the group of unapproved products for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
Legal proceedings
The Company is involved, and from time to time may become involved, in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inquiries, investigations, government reimbursement related actions and litigation. These matters are complex and subject to significant uncertainties. While we believe that we have valid claims and/or defenses in the litigation and other matters described below, litigation is inherently unpredictable, particularly where the damages sought are substantial or indeterminate or when the proceedings, investigations or inquiries are in the early stages, and the outcome of the proceedings could result in losses, including substantial damages, fines, civil or criminal penalties and injunctive or administrative remedies. We intend to vigorously prosecute and/or defend these matters, as appropriate; however, from time to time, we may settle or otherwise resolve these matters on terms and conditions that we believe are in our best interests. Resolution of any or all claims, investigations, and legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and/or cash flows in any given accounting period or on our overall financial condition.
Some of these matters with which we are involved are described below and in our 2022 Form 10-K, and unless otherwise disclosed, we are unable to predict the outcome of the matter or to provide an estimate of the range of reasonably possible material losses. We record accruals for loss contingencies to the extent we conclude it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
From time to time, we are also involved in other pending proceedings for which, in our opinion based upon facts and circumstances known at the time, either the likelihood of loss is remote or any reasonably possible loss associated with the resolution of such proceedings is not expected to be material to our results, and therefore remain undisclosed. If and when any reasonably possible losses associated with the resolution of such other pending proceedings, in our opinion, become material, we will disclose such matters.
Furthermore, like many pharmaceutical manufacturers, we are periodically exposed to product liability claims. The prevalence of these claims could limit our coverage under future insurance policies or cause those policies to become more expensive, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results. Recent trends in the product liability and director and officer insurance markets is to exclude matters related to certain classes of drugs. Our policies have been subject to such exclusions which place further potential risk of financial loss on us.
Legal fees for litigation-related matters are expensed as incurred and included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations under the selling, general, and administrative expense line item.

Commercial Litigation
On December 3, 2020, class action complaints were filed against the Company on behalf of putative classes of direct and indirect purchasers of the drug Bystolic. On December 23, 2020, six individual purchasers of Bystolic, CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreen, Kroger, Albertsons, and H-E-B, filed complaints against the Company. On March 15, 2021, the plaintiffs in these actions filed amended complaints. All amended complaints were substantively identical. The plaintiffs in these actions alleged that, beginning in 2012, Forest Laboratories, the manufacturer of Bystolic, entered into anticompetitive agreements when settling patent litigation related to Bystolic with seven potential manufacturers of a generic version of Bystolic: Hetero, Torrent, Alkem/Indchemie, Glenmark, Amerigen, Watson, and various of their corporate parents, successors, subsidiaries, and affiliates. ANI itself was not a party to patent litigation with Forest concerning Bystolic and did not settle patent litigation with Forest. The plaintiffs named the Company as a defendant based on the Company’s January 8, 2020 Asset Purchase Agreement with Amerigen. Under the terms of the 2020 Asset Purchase Agreement, Amerigen agreed to indemnify ANI for certain liabilities relating to Bystolic, including liabilities that arose prior to closing of the asset purchase. The complaints alleged that the 2013 patent litigation settlement agreement between Forest and Amerigen violated federal and state antitrust laws and state consumer protection laws by delaying the market entry of generic versions of Bystolic. Plaintiffs alleged they paid higher prices as a result of delayed generic competition. Plaintiffs sought damages, trebled or otherwise multiplied under applicable law, injunctive relief, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees. The complaints did not specify the amount of damages sought from the Company or other defendants and the Company. The cases were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as In re Bystolic Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 20-cv-005735 (LJL). On April 23, 2021, the Company and other defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended complaints. On January 24, 2022, the court dismissed all claims brought by the plaintiffs without prejudice. The court granted the plaintiffs until February 22, 2022 to file amended complaints, which were filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York, on that date. The newly amended complaints contained substantially similar claims. On April 19, 2022, the Company and other defendants filed motions to dismiss the newly amended complaints. After full briefing and oral argument, on February 21, 2023, the court granted the Company and the defendants’ motion to dismiss all actions with prejudice. Plaintiffs filed an appeal in the Second Circuit. The matter is fully briefed and oral arguments are scheduled for December 6, 2023. ANI continues to dispute any liability in this matter.
On March 24, 2021, Azurity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Azurity”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota against ANI, asserting that ANI’s vancomycin hydrochloride oral solution drug product infringes U.S. Patent No. 10,688,046. The complaint sought injunctive relief, damages, including lost profits and/or royalty, treble damages, and attorneys’ fee and costs. On February 15, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Azurity to resolve all claims related to this action. Under the terms of the agreement, Azurity granted ANI a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-bearing license under its patents to sell ANI product in the United States and dismissed the action with prejudice. In exchange, ANI paid Azurity $1.9 million of royalties from past sales and will pay Azurity a royalty equal to 20% of gross margin of sales of the ANI product for a contractually defined term.
On April 1, 2021, United Therapeutics Corp. and Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“UTC/Supernus”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against ANI, asserting that ANI’s proposed Treprostinil extended release drug product, which is subject to ANI’s Abbreviated New Drug Application No. 215667, infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 7,417,070, 7,544,713, 8,252,839, 8,349,892, 8,410,169, 8,747,897, 9,050,311, 9,278,901, 9,393,203, 9,422,223, 9,593,066 and 9,604,901 (“the Asserted Patents”). The complaint seeks injunctive relief, attorneys' fee and costs. ANI filed its answer and counterclaims on May 28, 2021, denying UTC/Supernus’ allegations and seeking declaratory judgment that ANI has not infringed any valid and enforceable claim of the Asserted Patents, that the Asserted Patents are invalid, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. On May 26, 2022, the parties’ respective claims and counterclaims were dismissed pursuant to a confidential settlement agreement.

On October 3, 2022, Azurity filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Novitium, seeking a declaratory judgment that Novitium’s manufacture, use, sale, importation and/or offer to sell Bionpharma Inc.’s (“Bionpharma”) enalapril maleate oral solution drug product (the “Product”) would infringe U.S. Patents Nos. 11,040,023 and 11,141,405 (the “Novitium Action”). The complaint seeks injunctive relief, and an award of Azurity’s costs and expenses. On October 12, 2022, Bionpharma filed a motion in the New Jersey court to intervene on Novitium’s behalf in the litigation and on October 14, 2022, Novitium and Bionpharma jointly moved to transfer venue to the District of Delaware. Transfer was granted on January 20, 2023. On March 27, 2023, the transferred Novitium Action (assigned Delaware Civil Action No. 23-163-MSG) was consolidated with the Delaware Third Wave Suits against Bionpharma (Civil Action Nos. 21-1286-MSG, 21-1455-MSG), which include Azurity’s infringement claims against Bionpharma involving the same patents asserted in the Novitium Action, as well as Bionpharma’s antitrust claims against Azurity. On August 3, 2023, Azurity filed an amended complaint against Novitium seeking damages for supplying Bionpharma's ANDA product. On October 31, 2023, the court denied Azurity's request for a stay and court-ordered mediation of the patent infringement and antitrust cases, and entered a scheduling order only for the antitrust case. The court stated that the schedule may be modified to incorporate dates for patent discovery and trial in the patent infringement case pending the outcome of the motion for rehearing in the related appeal in Azurity v. Alkem, No. 2023-1540 (Fed. Cir.). On November 1, 2023, the court denied Azurity's request for a rehearing in the Alkem case. Bionpharma has agreed to indemnify Novitium under the terms of its manufacturing and supply agreement for any damages, costs, and expenses relating to actual or alleged infringement of intellectual property rights or sale of the Product by Bionpharma. ANI and Novitium dispute any liability in this matter.

On September 29, 2023, Orphalan SA filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Novitium, asserting that Novitium's proposed triethylenetetramine tetrachloride drug product, which is subject to Novitium's Abbreviated New Drug Application No. 218493, infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 10,988,436 and 11,072,577. The complaint seeks damages, injunctive relief, attorneys' fees and costs. Novitium disputes any liability in this matter.
Ranitidine Related Litigation
State of New Mexico Litigation. In July 2020, ANI and Novitium were served with a complaint brought in the First Judicial Court, County of Santa Fe, State of New Mexico by the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New Mexico against manufacturers and sellers of ranitidine products. The complaint asserts a public nuisance claim and a negligence claim against the generic ranitidine manufacturer defendants, including ANI and Novitium. As damages for the nuisance claim, New Mexico asks that the defendants fund this medical monitoring program. With respect to the nuisance claim, New Mexico asserts that it paid for ranitidine products through state-funded insurance and health-care programs. On December 15, 2020, the case was removed to federal court and transferred to the In re Zantac multidistrict litigation (“MDL”) pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. On February 26, 2021, New Mexico moved for remand to state court. The MDL court granted the remand motion on February 25, 2021. On April 16, 2021, New Mexico filed an amended complaint in the New Mexico First Judicial District Court in Santa Fe County. It did not name ANI in the amended complaint, effectively voluntarily dismissing ANI from the action. Novitium is named as a Defendant in the amended complaint. On September 1, 2023, the court entered an order dismissing Novitium without prejudice.
Federal Court Personal Injury Litigation. In June 2020, ANI was served with a personal injury complaint in the case of Koepsel v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, et al., MDL No. 20-MD-2924, Case No. 9:20-cv-80882-RLR, filed in the United States District Court for Southern District of Florida, in which the plaintiff alleges that he developed kidney cancer in 2018 as a result of taking over the counter medication containing ranitidine. The Koepsel action was filed within the existing MDL concerning ranitidine-containing drugs pending in the Southern District of Florida, In re Zantac MDL, 20 MDL 2924. A Master Personal Injury Complaint (“MPIC”) in that MDL that was filed on June 22, 2020 also named ANI and Novitium as defendants. ANI was dismissed from the Koepsel case on August 21, 2020 and was dismissed from the MPIC on September 8, 2020. On December 31, 2020, after ANI was dismissed, the district court dismissed the MPIC claims against generic manufacturer defendants partially with prejudice and partially with leave to replead. The failure to warn and design defect claims were dismissed with prejudice on preemption grounds. An Amended MPIC was filed on February 8, 2021, which did not name ANI but did name Novitium. By opinion dated July 8, 2021, the district court dismissed all claims against the generic manufacturer defendants with prejudice on preemption grounds. That decision is on appeal to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. In addition, by opinion and order dated December 6, 2022, the district court granted the brand manufacturer defendants’ Daubert motion to exclude the plaintiffs’ expert testimony on general causation for the “designated cancers” that the plaintiffs’ leadership team claimed to be caused by ranitidine. The district court also granted the brand manufacturer defendants’ motion for summary judgment because the plaintiffs had failed to produce admissible primary evidence of general causation. The plaintiffs have appealed to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
29


ANI and Novitium were named in other individual personal injury complaints filed in the MDL in which plaintiffs allege that they developed cancer after taking prescription and over the counter medication containing ranitidine. ANI was served with complaints in five of those additional cases: Cooper v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, et al., MDL No. 20-MD-2924, Case No. 9:20-cv-81130-RLR (served September 30, 2020), Lineberry v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC, et al., MDL No. 20-MD-2924, Case No. 9:20-cv-81079-RLR (served August 20, 2020), Lovette v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC, et al., MDL No. 20-MD-2924, Case No. 9:20-cv-81040-RLR (served August 26, 2020), Hightower v. Pfizer, et al, MDL No. 20-MD-2924, Case No. 9-20-cv-82214-RLR (served December 16, 2020) and Bird v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, et al., MDL No. 20-MD-2924, Case No. 9-20-cv-80837-RLR (served December 30, 2020). ANI informed counsel for the plaintiffs that ANI did not sell an over the counter ranitidine product and sold a generic prescription ranitidine product for a limited two-month period of time, from July 2019 to September 2019. Each of the plaintiffs in the five pending cases alleges a cancer diagnosis prior to the time that ANI sold ranitidine, and ANI informally sought dismissal from these cases on that basis. ANI was voluntarily dismissed from the Cooper, Lineberry and Lovette actions on November 20, 2020, from the Bird action on March 15, 2021, and from the Hightower action on March 29, 2021.

Prior to the district court’s July 8, 2021 preemption decision, Novitium had been named in 158 short form complaints filed by claimants in the MDL. Those complaints were effectively dismissed with prejudice with the MPIC on July 8, 2021. Counsel for the plaintiffs have been notified that Novitium did not sell an over the counter ranitidine product and sold a generic prescription ranitidine product for a limited period of time, from December 2018 until September 2019. Novitium’s product was voluntarily recalled in October 2019. Out of the 158 short form complaints, approximately 114 plaintiffs either were diagnosed with cancer before Novitium began manufacturing the product, only took over the counter ranitidine, or took ranitidine before Novitium began manufacturing it. Two of those 114 plaintiffs dismissed Novitium from their short form complaints. In light of the Court’s dismissal of all claims with prejudice, Novitium has not pursued dismissal of the short form complaints against it at this time. Following the district court’s Daubert decision, plaintiffs began filing additional short form complaints in the MDL. Novitium currently is named as a defendant in more than 700 short form complaints.

On June 1, 2023, ANI was provided with “courtesy service” of nine short form complaints filed in the Zantac MDL 2924 in the Southern District of Florida, which purport to assert personal injury claims against ANI relating to ranitidine products. The plaintiffs are: (1) David L. Eads, Case No. 3:23-cv-23009-XXXX (alleged to have been diagnosed with cancer in 2016, before ANI began selling generic prescription ranitidine products); (2) Luis E. Acevedo, Case No. 3:23-cv-80534-XXXX (alleged to have been diagnosed with cancer in June 2019, before ANI began selling generic prescription ranitidine products); (3) Shellie Green, Case No. 3:23-cv-23032-XXXX; (4) Patricia Manders, individually and on behalf of the Estate of Jerry Manders, Case No. 3:23-cv-23026-XXXX (alleged to have died in March 2019, before ANI began selling generic prescription ranitidine products); (5) Christine Behrman, individually and on behalf of the Estate of Ralph Behrman, Case No. 3:23-cv-23016-XXXX; (6) Wendy Kelfer, individually and on behalf of the Estate of Sidney Kelfer, Case No. 3:23-cv-23029-XXXX; (7) Helen Romero, individually and on behalf of the Estate of Deborah Kilborn, Case No. 3:23-cv-23008-XXXX; (8) Jeffrey Eugene Guidry, Case No. 3:23-cv-22980-XXXX; and (9) Ruth Copeland, Case No. 3:23-cv-22973-XXXX (alleged to have been diagnosed with cancer in 2015, before ANI began selling generic prescription ranitidine products). The service cover letter acknowledges that the Zantac MDL is closed due to the pending appeal and the court is not issuing summonses.

The plaintiffs have taken multiple appeals from decisions issued by the district court in the MDL to the Eleventh Circuit. On September 8, 2023, the Eleventh Circuit remanded a subset of the MDL appeals back to the district court for entry of final judgments pursuant to Rule 58. The defendants filed a motion with the Eleventh Circuit to remand a similarly situated appeal for similar entry of a final judgment. In addition, the defendants are seeking a stay from the Eleventh Circuit of all non-remanded related appeals in order to have all of the related appeals decided together.
ANI and Novitium dispute any liability in these matters.

State Court Personal Injury Litigation
Illinois. On February 3, 2022, a complaint was filed in Cook County, Illinois, naming Novitium as a defendant. The complaint incorrectly identifies Novitium as a “repackager.” The case is styled Ross v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al. The complaint asserts claims of strict liability/failure to warn, strict liability/design defect, negligent failure to warn, negligent product design, general negligence, negligent misrepresentation, breach of express and implied warranties, and unjust enrichment. The plaintiff alleges that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2017, before Novitium began selling generic ranitidine products, and that he took over the counter ranitidine that he purchased at Walgreens from 2008 to 2019. At this point, the allegations show that the plaintiff’s alleged cancer injury could not have come from a Novitium product. The generic manufacturer defendants filed a motion to dismiss on preemption grounds. That motion is pending.

In August 2022, the Keller Postman law firm commenced six multi-plaintiff actions in Illinois state court naming generic ranitidine manufacturers, including ANI and/or Novitium, as defendants. Those cases are: (1) Jodee Gillespie v. Walgreen Co., et. al., Circuit Court of the Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Illinois, Case No. 2022LA001007 (naming both Novitium and ANI); (2) John Jackson v. Walgreen Co., et. al., Circuit Court of the Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Illinois, Case No. 2022LA001012 (naming Novitium); (3) Ayesha Salahuddin v. Walgreen Co., et. al., Circuit Court of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, St. Clair County, Illinois, Case No. 22LA0709 (naming Novitium); (4) Lashanda McGruder v. Walgreen Co., et. al., Circuit Court of the Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Illinois, Case No. 22LA0710 (naming both Novitium and ANI); (5) Richard Devriendt v. Walgreen Co., et. al., Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Case No. 2022L007429 (naming Novitium); (6) Anthony Stigger v. Walgreen Co., et. al., Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Case No. 2022L007396 (naming both Novitium and ANI). The complaints allege causes of action for failure to warn, design defect, general negligence, loss of consortium and wrongful death. Pursuant to an Order of the Illinois Supreme Court dated October 25, 2022, the pending ranitidine personal injury actions in Illinois have been consolidated in Cook County for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. Those pre-trial proceedings are pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County. On January 12, 2023, the court directed the plaintiffs to dismiss the multi-plaintiff actions and refile each individual plaintiff action under a separate case number. At a status conference held on February 16, 2023, the court required that the plaintiffs re-file within 60 days. The court also authorized use of a master complaint. Plaintiffs filed a master long-form complaint on March 9, 2023 naming Novitium as a defendant. ANI is not named as a defendant. The Keller Postman firm has confirmed that its clients are no longer pursuing claims against ANI. When the court ruled the cases needed to be re-filed as single-plaintiff cases, Novitium was never served. The counts in the master complaint include strict liability for failure to warn/design defects, general negligence, negligent misrepresentation, negligent storage and transport, apparent manufacturer liability, common law fraud, unjust enrichment, civil conspiracy, and breach of express and implied warranties. The complaint further alleges violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act. Pursuant to the court’s standing order, the generic defendants filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to IL 2-615 (failure to state a claim on the face of the complaint) on April 13, 2023, claiming preemption by federal law. On August 10, 2023, the court dismissed all claims against the generic defendants with prejudice on preemption grounds.

California. In August and September 2022, the Keller Postman law firm commenced seven multi-plaintiff actions in California state court, Alameda County, naming generic ranitidine manufacturers, including ANI and/or Novitium, as defendants. Those cases are: (1) Carlos Ascencio v. ANI Pharmaceuticals, et. al., Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case. No. 22CV016230 (naming both Novitium and ANI); (2) Andre Lebeau v. Actavis Mid Atlantic, LLC et. al., Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case No. 22CV016448 (naming Novitium); (3) Roque Torres v. ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case No. 22CV016338 (naming both Novitium and ANI); (4) Deborah Hinds v. ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case No. 22CV016123 (naming both Novitium and ANI); (5) Mark Cruz v. ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case No. 22CV016338 (naming both Novitium and ANI); (6) Bent Olsen v. ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case No. 22CV016402 (naming both Novitium and ANI); (7) John Norman v. Actavis Mid Atlantic, LLC, et. al., Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case No. 22CV018334 (naming Novitium). The complaints allege causes of action for failure to warn, design defect, general negligence, loss of consortium and wrongful death. By stipulation and order dated December 28, 2022, the cases were transferred to an existing civil case coordination docket for pretrial proceedings (JCCP) pending in Alameda County. By order dated January 19, 2023, the court ordered that counsel for the plaintiffs must dismiss the individual plaintiffs (other than the first-named plaintiff) from each of the multi-plaintiff complaints and that each of the dismissed plaintiffs must re-file their claims in a single plaintiff complaint. As of April 25, 2023, ANI and Novitium had not yet been served with any of these single-plaintiff complaints. As of April 25, 2023, the Company is aware of three single-plaintiff cases in which Novitium is named as a defendant: David Duncan v. GSK Holdings, No. T23-507; Charmaine Sili v. GSK Holdings, No. T23-355; and Charles Crippen v. Boehringer, No. T23-349. At this time, none of the generic defendants have been served with any complaints. On September 21, 2023, the plaintiff leadership filed a master complaint in the JCCP. The master complaint does not name any generic defendants. However, the short form complaints allow individual plaintiffs to name "other defendants," leaving open the option for individual plaintiffs to name generic manufacturers as defendants.

Pennsylvania. In September 2022, two single-plaintiff complaints were filed in Pennsylvania state court, Philadelphia County, naming Novitium as a defendant: (1) William Titus v. Glaxo SmithKline LLC, et. al., Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, Case No. 220902548; and (2) Jodi Woodard v. Ajanta Pharma USA, Inc., et. al., Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, Case No. 220902329. These complaints allege causes of action for negligence, failure to warn, negligent storage and transportation, breach of express and implied warranties, negligent misrepresentation, and fraud. On February 16, 2023, the Pennsylvania plaintiffs filed a consolidated long-form complaint against the generic defendants, Plaintiffs v. Actavis, et. al. Civil Action No. 1364. The long-form complaint names Novitium as a defendant. The long form complaint asserts causes of action for negligence, failure to warn, negligent storage and transportation, breach of express warranties, breach of implied warranties, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, strict products liability, wrongful death and survivor actions, and loss of consortium. The complaint includes a prayer for punitive damages. The generic defendants filed their preliminary objections to Plaintiffs’ consolidated long-form generic complaint on March 20, 2023. The court sustained the generics’ objection that plaintiffs’ failure to warn/design defect claims were preempted by federal law; therefore, all allegations related to failure to warn/design defects are dismissed. The court also sustained the generics’ preliminary objections relating to the counts of strict liability-design defect and breach of implied warranty to the extent Pennsylvania substantive law applies. The court noted the substantive law of another state may not conflict with federal law, and, further, strict liability and breach of implied warranty causes of action of another state may apply in individual cases. This is a determination that can only be made after short form complaints are filed. It is the generics’ position that the court’s ruling on the preliminary orders effectively dismissed the generics from the case unless and until a non-resident plaintiff names a generic in a short form complaint. Out of an abundance of caution, however, the generics, including Novitium, all filed answers to the longform complaint in June 2023.
ANI and Novitium dispute any liability in these matters.
Other Industry Related Matters
On or about September 20, 2017, the Company and certain of its employees were served with search warrants and/or grand jury subpoenas to produce documents and possibly testify relating to a federal investigation of the generic pharmaceutical industry. We have been cooperating and intend to continue cooperating with the investigation. However, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of the investigation.

13.    FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value.
The inputs used in measuring the fair value of cash and cash equivalents are considered to be Level 1 in accordance with the three-tier fair value hierarchy. The fair market values are based on period-end statements supplied by the various banks and brokers that held the majority of our funds. The fair value of short-term financial instruments (primarily accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities) approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature. The Term Facility bears an interest rate that fluctuates with the changes in SOFR and, because the variable interest rates approximate market borrowing rates available to us, we believe the carrying values of these borrowings approximated their fair values at September 30, 2023.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Contingent Value Rights
The contingent value rights (“CVRs”), which were granted coincident with the merger with BioSante expired during June 2023, were considered contingent consideration and were classified as liabilities, and there were no payments made pursuant to the terms of the CVR agreement.
Interest Rate Swap
The fair value of the interest rate swap is estimated based on the present value of projected future cash flows using the SOFR forward rate curve (see Note 5). The model used to value the interest rate swap includes inputs of readily observable market data, a Level 2 input. As described in detail in Note 5, the fair value of the interest rate swap was $10.0 million as of September 30, 2023, and was classified as a non-current asset.
Contingent Consideration
In connection with the acquisition of Novitium, the Company may be obligated to pay up to $46.5 million in additional consideration related to the achievement of certain milestones, such as milestones on gross profit of Novitium portfolio products over a 24-month period, regulatory filings completed during this 24-month period, and a percentage of net profits on certain products that are launched in the future.
The discounted cash flow method used to value this contingent consideration includes inputs which are classified as Level 3 inputs, as the inputs are not based on readily available market data. The recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of contingent consideration for which a liability is recorded include the following significant unobservable inputs:
Payment TypeValuation TechniqueUnobservable InputAssumptions

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
There are no financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
There are no non-financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Long-lived assets, including property, plant, and equipment, right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, intangible assets, and goodwill, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. No such fair value impairment was recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Acquired Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value
On August 14, 2023, the Company acquired one ANDA and registered patents and pending patent applications from Slayback Pharma Limited Liability Company for total consideration of $3.0 million (see Note 8). The Company also acquired an NDA which has yet to be filed. The transaction was funded from cash on hand. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the transaction costs directly related to the acquisition were capitalized. Intangible assets amounted to $2.8 million as acquired ANDA intangible assets. The payment was allocated to the acquired intangible assets based on relative fair value, which was determined using Level 3 unobservable inputs. The ANDA will be amortized in full over its useful life of seven years and will be tested for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. No such triggering events were
34


identified during the period from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2023, and therefore no impairment loss was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company acquired two ANDAs and one pipeline product from the Chapter 7 Trustee for the estates of Akorn Holding Company and certain of its affiliates for total consideration of $4.8 million. The transaction was funded from cash on hand. This transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the transaction costs directly related to the acquisition were capitalized. The product portfolio included two commercial products and one pipeline product. The Company recognized $4.3 million as acquired ANDA intangible assets. The payment was allocated to the acquired intangible assets and in-process research and development based on relative fair value, which was determined using Level 3 unobservable inputs. The ANDAs will be amortized in full over its useful life of seven years and will be tested for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. No such triggering events were identified during the period from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2023, and therefore no impairment loss was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
14.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On March 8, 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Commitment and Investment Agreement with the PIPE Investor, pursuant to which 25,000 shares were purchased for $1,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million on November 19, 2021. The Chairman of the Company's board of directors is an operating partner of Ampersand Capital Partners, an affiliate of the PIPE Investor.
In connection with the acquisition of Novitium, the Company entered into employment agreements with the two executives and founders of Novitium, Muthusamy Shanmugam and Chad Gassert. Both serve as executive officers of the Company and Mr. Shanmugam also serves on the Company’s board of directors. Mr. Shanmugam holds a minority interest in Scitus Pharma Services (“Scitus”), which provides clinical research services to Novitium; majority interest in SS Pharma LLC (“SS Pharma”), which acquires and supplies API to Novitium; majority interest in Esjay Pharma LLC (“Esjay”), which provided research and development and facilities consulting services; and a minority interest in Nuray Chemical Private Limited (“Nuray”), which manufactures and supplies API to Novitium. As of September 30, 2022, Esjay no longer provided research and development and facilities consulting services to Novitium or ANI. Mr. Gassert holds a minority interest in Scitus.

15.    SEGMENT REPORTING
An operating segment is defined as a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expense, its operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and its discrete financial information is available. The Company is organized into two operating segments as follows:
Generics, Established Brands, and Other – Consists of operations related to the development, manufacturing, and marketing of generic and established brand pharmaceuticals, including those sold through traditional channels, contract manufactured products, product development services, royalties, and other.
35


Rare Disease – Consists of operations related to the development, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceuticals used in the treatment of patients with rare conditions. The rare disease segment currently consists of operations related to Cortrophin Gel.
The CODM evaluates the two operating segments based on revenues and earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), exclusive of corporate expenses and other expenses not directly allocated or attributable to an operating segment. These expenses include, but are not limited to, certain management, legal, accounting, human resources, insurance, and information technology expenses.
The Company does not manage assets of the Company by operating segment and our CODM does not review asset information by operating segment. Accordingly, the Company does not present total assets by operating segment.

16.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On November 6, 2023, ANI Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with Mastercom Inc. ("Buyer") for the purchase and sale of the Oakville, Ontario manufacturing facility (the "Property") at a total purchase price of $17,850,000 Canadian dollars, or approximately $13,000,000 US Dollars based on the current exchange rate, subject to certain market adjustments.

Under the terms and conditions of the purchase and sale agreement, Buyer paid a deposit upon signing of the Agreement of $500,000 Canadian dollars, or approximately $365,000 US Dollars based on the current exchange rate, and Buyer’s obligations under the agreement are subject to a twenty (20) business day due diligence period (the "Initial Due Diligence Period") that can be extended for an additional twenty (20) business days if an independent assessor recommends conducting a phase II environmental assessment (the “Due Diligence Condition”). In addition, Buyer’s obligations under the Agreement are subject to Buyer’s obtaining financing on terms satisfactory to Buyer prior to expiration of the Initial Due Diligence Period (the “Financing Condition”). Upon waiver or satisfaction of the Due Diligence Condition, Buyer is required to pay an additional deposit of $750,000 Canadian dollars, or approximately $550,000 US Dollars based on the current exchange rate, with the remaining balance of the purchase price (minus the deposited amounts) to be paid upon closing of the transaction. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary termination conditions, including the Buyer’s right to terminate the agreement if the Property is materially damaged prior to the closing. If the transaction does not close as a result of the Due Diligence Condition or the Financing Condition or as a result of ANI’s default under the agreement, the deposited amounts will be returned to the Buyer in full. ANI will retain the deposited amounts if the transaction does not close as a result of the Buyer’s default under the agreement.

The purchase of the Property is being made on an “as is” basis and the Agreement provides for customary closing conditions and indemnification obligations, as well as limited representations and warranties. The sale of the Property is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”), as well as the information contained under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and “Risk Factors” contained in the 2022 Annual Report, and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q , and other information provided from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, based on current expectations and related to future events and our future financial performance, that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many important factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our 2022 Annual Report and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (together, “ANI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a diversified bio-pharmaceutical company serving patients in need by developing, manufacturing, and marketing high quality branded and generic prescription pharmaceuticals, including for diseases with high unmet medical need. Our team is focused on delivering sustainable growth by scaling up our Rare Disease business through the successful launch of our lead asset, Cortrophin Gel, strengthening our generics business with enhanced development capability, innovation in established brands and leveraging our North American manufacturing capabilities. Our three pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, of which two are located in Baudette, Minnesota, and one is located in East Windsor, New Jersey, are together capable of producing oral solid dose products, as well as semi-solids, liquids and topicals, controlled substances, and potent products that must be manufactured in a fully-contained environment. We ceased operations at our subsidiary in Oakville, Ontario, Canada as of March 31, 2023. This action was part of ongoing initiatives to capture operational synergies following our acquisition of Novitium Pharma LLC (“Novitium”) in November 2021. We previously completed the transition of the products manufactured or packaged in Oakville to one of our three U.S.-based manufacturing sites.
On November 6, 2023, ANI Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with Mastercom Inc. ("Buyer") for the purchase and sale of the Oakville, Ontario manufacturing facility (the "Property") at a total purchase price of $17,850,000 Canadian dollars, or approximately $13,000,000 US Dollars based on the current exchange rate, subject to certain market adjustments.

Under the terms and conditions of the purchase and sale agreement, Buyer paid a deposit upon signing of the Agreement of $500,000 Canadian dollars, or approximately $365,000 US Dollars based on the current exchange rate, and Buyer’s obligations under the agreement are subject to a twenty (20) business day due diligence period (the "Initial Due Diligence Period") that can be extended for an additional twenty (20) business days if an independent assessor recommends conducting a phase II environmental assessment (the “Due Diligence Condition”). In addition, Buyer’s obligations under the Agreement are subject to Buyer’s obtaining financing on terms satisfactory to Buyer prior to expiration of the Initial Due Diligence Period (the “Financing Condition”). Upon waiver or satisfaction of the Due Diligence Condition, Buyer is required to pay an additional deposit of $750,000 Canadian dollars, or approximately $550,000 US Dollars based on the current exchange rate, with the remaining balance of the purchase price (minus the deposited amounts) to be paid upon closing of the transaction. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary termination conditions, including the Buyer’s right to terminate the agreement if the Property is materially damaged prior to the closing. If the transaction does not close as a result of the Due Diligence Condition or the Financing Condition or as a result of ANI’s default under the agreement, the deposited amounts will be returned to the Buyer in full. ANI will retain the deposited amounts if the transaction does not close as a result of the Buyer’s default under the agreement.

The purchase of the Property is being made on an “as is” basis and the Agreement provides for customary closing conditions and indemnification obligations, as well as limited representations and warranties. The sale of the Property is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024.
Our objective is to build a sustainable and growing biopharmaceutical company serving patients in need and creating long-term value for our investors. Our growth strategy is driven by the following key growth drivers:
38


Building a successful Rare Disease platform
We have spent significant time, effort and resources in establishing our Rare Disease platform. We acquired the NDAs for Cortrophin Gel and Cortrophin-Zinc in January 2016 and executed long-term supply agreements with a supplier of our primary raw material for corticotrophin active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”), a supplier of corticotrophin API with whom we have advanced the manufacture of commercial scale batches of API, and a Cortrophin Gel fill/finish contract manufacturer. During the second quarter of 2021, we submitted a Supplemental New Drug Application (“sNDA”) to the FDA.
On October 29, 2021, the FDA approved the Company’s sNDA for Purified Cortrophin Gel (Repository Corticotropin Injection USP) for the treatment of certain chronic autoimmune disorders, including acute exacerbations of multiple sclerosis (“MS”) and rheumatoid arthritis (“RA”), in addition to excess urinary protein due to nephrotic syndrome. Cortrophin Gel is an adrenocorticotropic hormone (“ACTH”), also known as purified corticotropin.
During 2021 and 2022, we invested significantly in leadership, expertise and infrastructure in the areas of commercialization of rare disease therapies and developed a launch strategy and commercial plan for this product. During this timeframe, we hired a significant number of new employees and assembled and trained our Rare Disease field force. On January 24, 2022, we announced the commercial launch of Cortrophin Gel in the U.S as our foundational Rare Disease asset. On October 2, 2023, we announced FDA approval and commercial availability of a 1-mLvial of Cortrophin Gel, appropriate for adjunctive treatment of certain patients with acute gouty arthritis flares. As a result of the build out of our Rare Disease team, our expenditures in support of these efforts were significantly higher in 2022 as compared to the prior year, and we plan to continue to invest behind Cortrophin Gel and our Rare Disease platform in 2023 and beyond.
We plan to continue to expand our rare disease business, through a combination of organic growth, as described above, and acquisition. While we continue to execute against our strategic initiatives that we believe will result in the long-term, sustainable growth and value to our stockholders, we continue to evaluate potential acquisitions and other strategic transactions of businesses that we believe complement our existing portfolio, infrastructure and capabilities or provide us with the opportunity to expand our existing capabilities.
Strengthening our Generics, Established Brands, and Other segment through continued investment in our generic research and development capability and increased focus on niche opportunities
We have grown our generics business through a combination of market share gains on existing products and new product launches. We have also successfully acquired numerous ANDAs through business and asset acquisitions. Our most recent business acquisition was Novitium, including its portfolio of commercial and pipeline generic products, manufacturing and development facilities and expert workforce. The Novitium acquisition significantly increased our generic pharmaceutical research and development and manufacturing capabilities. We have begun to increase our focus on niche lower competition opportunities such as injectables, Paragraph IV, and Competitive Generic Therapy designation filings. Additionally, we will continue to seek opportunities to enhance our capabilities through strategic partnerships and acquisitions of assets and businesses. On July 21, 2022, we completed an asset acquisition of four ANDAs from Oakrum Pharma, including two that were commercial at the time of acquisition. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we acquired two ANDAs and one pipeline product from the Chapter 7 Trustee for the estates of Akorn Holding Company and certain of its affiliates. On August 14, 2023, we acquired one ANDA and registered patents and pending patent applications from Slayback Pharma Limited Liability Company.
We have grown our established brand product offerings through acquisition. We have acquired the NDAs for and market Atacand, Atacand HCT, Arimidex, Casodex, Lithobid, Vancocin, Inderal LA, Inderal XL, InnoPran XL, Oxistat, Veregen, and Pandel. We are innovating in our go-to-market strategy through creative partnerships.
Our overall strategy is enabled by an empowered, collaborative, and purposeful team with a high performance-orientation.
Generic Product Development Considerations
We consider a variety of criteria in determining which products to develop, all of which influence the level of competition upon product launch. These criteria include:
Formulation Complexity. Our development and manufacturing capabilities enable us to manufacture pharmaceuticals that are difficult to produce, including highly potent, extended release, combination, and low dosage products. This ability to manufacture a variety of complex products is a competitive strength that we intend to leverage in selecting products to develop or manufacture.
39


Patent Status. We seek to develop products whose branded bioequivalents do not have long-term patent protection or existing patent challenges.
Market Size. When determining whether to develop or acquire an individual product, we review the current and expected market size for that product at launch, as well as forecasted price erosion upon conversion from branded to generic pricing. We endeavor to manufacture products with sufficient market size to enable us to enter the market with a strong likelihood of being able to price our products both competitively and at a profit.
Profit Potential. We research the availability and cost of active pharmaceutical ingredients in determining which products to develop or acquire. In determining the potential profit of a product, we forecast our anticipated market share, pricing, including the expected price erosion caused by competition from other generic manufacturers, and the estimated cost to manufacture the products.
Manufacturing. We generally seek to develop and manufacture products at our own manufacturing plants in order to optimize the utilization of our facilities, ensure quality control in our products, and to more closely control the economic inputs and outputs of our products.
Competition. When determining whether to develop or acquire a product, we research existing and expected competition. We seek to develop products for which we can obtain sufficient market share and may decline to develop a product if we anticipate significant competition. Our specialized manufacturing facilities provide a means of entering niche markets, such as hormone therapies, in which fewer generic companies are able to compete.
Recent Developments
Election of Directors
On August 21, 2023, the Board of Directors of ANI (the “Board”), appointed Matthew Leonard to serve on the Board as a director with a term expiring at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders. On August 22, 2023, Dr. David B. Nash, M.D. informed the Board of his decision not to seek reelection as a director on the Board at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”). Dr. Nash will continue to serve for the remainder of his term as a director until the 2024 Annual Meeting. Dr. Nash has served as a member of the Company’s Board since May 2018 and has served as Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and as a Member of the Audit and Finance Committee.
Public Offering
In May 2023, through a public offering, we completed the issuance and sale of 2,183,545 shares of ANI common stock, resulting in net proceeds after issuance costs of $80.6 million. The proceeds are being used to in-license, acquire or invest in additional businesses, technologies, products or assets, to fund our commercialization efforts, including, but not limited to, sales and marketing and consulting expenses related thereto, and for general corporate purposes.
Restructuring Update
We ceased operations at our subsidiary in Oakville, Ontario, Canada as of March 31, 2023. This action was part of ongoing initiatives to capture operational synergies following our acquisition of Novitium in November 2021. We previously completed the transition of the products manufactured or packaged in Oakville to one of our three U.S.-based manufacturing sites. On November 6, 2023, ANI Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of the Oakville, Ontario manufacturing facility at a total purchase price of $17,850,000 Canadian dollars, or approximately $13,000,000 US Dollars based on the current exchange rate, subject to certain market adjustments. The sale of the Property is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024.

Total net revenues$131,829 $83,821 $48,008 57.3 %
We derive substantially all of our revenues from sales of generic, rare disease, and established brand pharmaceutical products, royalties on net sales of certain products, and other pharmaceutical services. Many of our established brand products as well as our generic products face competition from generic products and we expect them to continue to face competition from generic products in the future. The primary means of competition among generic manufacturers are pricing, contract terms, service levels, and reliability. Increased competition generally results in decreased average selling prices of generic and brand products over time. In addition, due to strategic partnerships between wholesalers and pharmacy chains, we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, increases in net sales to the wholesalers, with corresponding decreases in net sales to the pharmacy chains.
Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $131.8 million compared to $83.8 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of 57.3%, primarily as a result of the following factors:
Net revenues for generic pharmaceutical products were $70.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 32.9% compared to $53.1 million for the same period in 2022, driven by increased volumes on the base business and the inclusion of 2022 launches and new product launches in 2023. From a product perspective, the increase was principally driven by revenues from year over year increases in products such as Colestipol, Famotidine, Mixed Amphetamine Salts Extended Release, Nitrofurantoin, Thyroid and various other products tempered by a decrease in revenues of Fenofibrate, Nebivolol, and Prazosin, among others.
Net revenues for established brand pharmaceutical products, royalties, and other pharmaceutical services were $31.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 74.2% compared to $18.1 million for the same period in 2022, driven by a net increase in volume.
Net revenues of rare disease pharmaceutical products, which consist entirely of sales of Cortrophin Gel, were $29.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 an increase of $17.1 million from $12.6 million for the same period in 2022. This increase was driven by increased volume in this second year of launch (product was launched in late January 2022).
In addition to the above, within our Generic, established brand, and other segment in the current year period, we were successful in supplying incremental volume in markets that were experiencing supply chain disruptions for competing products. Generally, when opportunities for volume and revenue upside related to our products arise in the marketplace, there is no assurance as to how long these favorable market conditions may persist. Recently, certain of these market conditions changed, and as a result, we expect fourth quarter 2023 demand and resultant revenues for certain generic and established brand products to be significantly lower as compared to the rate achieved during the first nine months of 2023.

Cost of Sales (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)
Three Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)20232022Change% Change
Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization)$48,101 $32,894 $15,207 46.2 %
Cost of sales consists of direct labor, including manufacturing and packaging, active and inactive pharmaceutical ingredients, freight costs, packaging components, and royalties related to profit-sharing arrangements. Cost of sales does not include depreciation and amortization expense, which is reported as a separate component of operating expenses on our unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, cost of sales increased to $48.1 million from $32.9 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $15.2 million, or 46.2%. The increase is primarily due to a significant increase in sales volumes of generic and rare disease pharmaceutical products.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of net revenues, decreased from 39.2% to 36.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to a shift in product mix year over year.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, no single vendor represented more than 10% of inventory purchases.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, other operating expenses increased to $65.8 million from $55.9 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $9.9 million, or 17.6%, primarily as a result of the following factors:
Research and development expenses increased from $7.7 million to $11.1 million, an increase of $3.5 million or 45.2%, primarily due to expenses related to a 505(b)(2) filing for one product of approximately $1.6 million, and a higher level of activity associated with ongoing and new projects in the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased from $30.1 million to $42.0 million, an increase of $11.9 million, or 39.6%, primarily due to increased employment related costs, legal expenses, as well as overall increase in activities required to support the growth in our business.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $15.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $14.2 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $1.0 million. The increase is primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Slayback and Akorn asset acquisitions, and amortization of acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") which commenced in three months ended September 30, 2023.
43


We recognized a gain of $(2.6) million and loss of $2.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for the contingent consideration fair value adjustment. The change in the fair value adjustment is primarily related to a change in the anticipated cash flows, specifically extending the timeframe over which cash flows will be generated by the products, and the passage of time (i.e., moving closer to the anticipated payment date of the consideration), and an increase to the probability of payment for the product development-based milestone payments.
We recognized restructuring activities expenses of $1.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022, in relation to the closure of our Oakville, Ontario, Canada facility. Costs included $0.3 million in termination benefits and $1.2 million in fixed asset impairments and accelerated depreciation. There were no restructuring expenses recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized total other expense, net of $6.4 million versus total other expense of $7.2 million for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $0.8 million. Interest expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 consists primarily of interest expense on borrowings under our Term Facility, amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, the interest income related to the interest rate swap, and interest earned on cash balances. The decrease in interest expense, net is primarily due to an increase in interest income from our interest rate swap and increased interest income earned on higher cash balances. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, there was $0.1 million of interest capitalized into construction in progress. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, there was less than $0.1 million of interest capitalized into construction in progress, representing an offset to interest expense.

Income tax (expense) benefit consists of current and deferred components, which include changes in our deferred tax assets, our deferred tax liabilities, and our valuation allowance.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized an income tax expense of $1.6 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 13.6% after discrete items for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of the U.S. federal research and development credit, permanent differences, and stock based compensation.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized an income tax benefit of $3.6 million. The income tax benefit resulted from applying an estimated annual worldwide effective tax rate of 29.6% to pre-tax consolidated loss of $12.2 million reported during the period. There were no material discrete items occurring during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $355.2 million compared to $222.2 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of 59.9%, primarily as a result of the following factors:
Net revenues for generic pharmaceutical products were $197.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 29.9% compared to $152.1 million for the same period in 2022, driven by increased volumes on the base business, increased volumes from the inclusion of 2022 launches in 2023 and 2023 new product launches. From a product perspective, the increase was principally driven by revenues from year over year increases in products such as Acebutolol, Colestipol, Digoxin, Famotidine, Fluoxetine, Glipizide, Mixed Amphetamine Salts Extended Release, Miglustat, Misoprostol, Nitrofurantoin, Prochlorperazine, Pyrazinamide, Thyroid, Tolterodine, Trimethorpim, and various other products tempered by a decrease in revenues of Cholestyramine, Fenofibrate, Mesalamine, Oxybutynin Chloride, and Prazosin, among others.
Net revenues for established brand pharmaceutical products, royalties, and other pharmaceutical services were $87.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 89.7% compared to $46.0 million for the same period in 2022, driven by a net increase in volume.
Net revenues of rare disease pharmaceutical products, which consist entirely of sales of Cortrophin Gel, were $70.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 an increase of $46.3 million from $24.1 million for the same period in 2022.

(in thousands)20232022Change% Change
Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization)$128,093 $102,459 $25,634 25.0 %
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cost of sales increased to $128.1 million from $102.5 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $25.6 million, or 25.0%. The increase is primarily due to a significant increase in sales volumes of generic and rare disease pharmaceutical products. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $5.3 million in cost of sales representing the excess of fair value over cost for inventory acquired in acquisitions and subsequently sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. There are no comparable expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of net revenues, decreased from 46.1% to 36.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the non-recurrence of $5.3 million expense recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, related to the excess of fair value over cost for inventory acquired in a business combination, as well as the increased sales of Established brand pharmaceutical products, royalties, and other pharmaceutical services products and Cortrophin Gel coupled with increased generic volumes with a mix shift in higher margin products.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, no single vendor represented more than 10% of inventory purchases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 we purchased 13% of our inventory from one supplier.

Research and development expenses increased from $17.1 million to $24.4 million, an increase of $7.3 million or 42.8%, primarily due to expenses related to a 505(b)(2) filing for one product of approximately $1.6 million, and a higher level of activity associated with ongoing and new projects in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased from $90.9 million to $117.2 million, an increase of $26.4 million, or 29.0%, primarily due to increased employment related costs, legal expenses, as well as an overall increase in activities required to support the growth of our business.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $44.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $42.5 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $2.1 million. The increase is primarily due to an increase in amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired in the Oakrum asset acquisition, and amortization of IPR&D which commenced during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

We recognized a gain of $(0.6) million and $2.1 million loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for the contingent consideration fair value adjustment. The change in the fair value adjustment is primarily related to a change in the anticipated cash flows, specifically extending the timeframe over which cash flows will be generated by the products, and the passage of time (i.e., moving closer to the anticipated payment date of the consideration), and an increase to the probability of payment for the product development-based milestone payments.
We recognized restructuring activities of $1.1 million of expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, in relation to the closure of our Oakville, Ontario, Canada facility. Costs included severance and other employee benefits costs of $0.2 million, and $0.7 million of accelerated depreciation costs. We recognized restructuring activities of $4.1 million of expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, in relation to the closure of our Oakville, Ontario, Canada facility. Costs included $1.8 million in termination benefits, $2.1 million in fixed asset impairments and accelerated depreciation, and $0.3 million of other costs.
We recognized an impairment of $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, in relation to an ANDA asset. No impairment charges were recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized total other expense, net of $21.3 million versus total other expense of $19.8 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $1.5 million. Interest expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 consisted primarily of interest expense on borrowings under our Term Facility, amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, the effects of the interest rate swap, and interest earned on cash balances. The increase in interest expense is due to an increased borrowing rate on the Term Facility and an increase in amortization of finance fees offset by income from our interest rate swap and increased interest income earned on higher cash balances. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there was $0.4 million of interest capitalized into construction in progress. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there was less than $0.1 million of interest capitalized into construction in progress, representing an offset to interest expense.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized an income tax expense of $1.3 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 6.9% after discrete items for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of the U.S. federal research and development credit, permanent differences, and stock based compensation.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized an income tax benefit of $13.3 million. The income tax benefit resulted from applying an estimated annual worldwide effective tax rate of 23.3% to pre-tax consolidated loss of $56.9 million reported during the period. There were no material discrete items occurring during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Debt Financing
On November 19, 2021, the Company, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank and other lenders, which provides for credit facilities consisting of (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate commitment amount of $40.0 million, which may be used for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit (the “Revolving Facility,” and together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2023, $3.0 million of principal of the loan was recorded as current borrowings in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2023, we had not drawn on the Revolving Facility and $40.0 million remained available for borrowing subject to certain conditions.
Equity Financing
In May 2023, through a public offering, we completed the issuance and sale of 2,183,545 shares of ANI common stock, resulting in net proceeds after issuance costs of $80.6 million. The proceeds are intended to be used to in-license, acquire or invest in additional businesses, technologies, products or assets, to fund our commercialization efforts, including, but not limited to, sales and marketing and consulting expenses related thereto, and for general corporate purposes.
We believe that our financial resources, consisting of current working capital, anticipated future operating revenue and corresponding collections from customers, and our Credit Facility, under which $40.0 million remains available for borrowing as of September 30, 2023, will be sufficient to enable us to meet our working capital requirements and debt obligations for at least the next 12 months.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes the net cash and cash equivalents (used in) provided by operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities for the periods indicated:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)20232022
Operating Activities$74,219 $(26,803)
Investing Activities$(13,732)$(12,596)
Financing Activities$79,357 $(4,618)
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operations
Net cash provided by operating activities was $74.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $26.8 million used in operating activities during the same period in 2022, a change of $101.0 million. The increase was driven by net income in the current year period due to increased sales and gross profit and the non-recurrence of significant utilization of cash during the initial launch period of Cortrophin Gel in 2022, as well as other net changes in our assets and liabilities.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $13.7 million, principally due to $6.6 million of capital expenditures and consideration paid for asset acquisitions of ANDAs from Akorn Holding Company and Slayback Pharma Limited Liability Company totaling $7.1 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $12.6 million, principally due to $5.7 million of capital expenditures and the consideration paid for asset acquisitions of intangible assets totaling $7.6 million, partially offset by $0.8 million of proceeds from the sale of long-lived assets during the period.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $79.4 million, principally due to $80.6 million in proceeds from the May 2023 public offering and $7.0 million from proceeds from stock option exercises and ESPP purchases. This is offset by cash used in financing activities related to $2.3 million maturity payments on the Term Facility, $4.8 million of treasury stock purchased in relation to restricted stock vests, and $1.2 million convertible preferred stock dividends paid. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $4.6 million, principally due to the $2.3 million maturity payments on the Term Facility, $1.8 million of treasury stock purchased in relation to restricted stock vests, and $1.2 million convertible preferred stock dividends paid.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Part II, Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical, as these policies require significant, difficult or complex judgments by management, often requiring the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates since the 2022 Form 10-K.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As of September 30, 2023, our contractual obligations have not changed materially from the amounts reported in our 2022 Form 10-K.
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risks include interest rate risk, equity risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, and other relevant market rate or price risks. Of these risks, interest rate risk, equity risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk could have a significant impact on our results of operations. There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risks since the end of the most recent fiscal year as reported in our 2022 Form 10-K.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2023. Due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, due to the on-going remediation associated with the material weakness identified in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2022 Form 10-K"), our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2023 to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
For a more comprehensive discussion of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting previously identified by management as of December 31, 2022 and the remedial measures undertaken to address these material weaknesses, investors are encouraged to review Item 9A, Disclosure Controls and Procedures, of our 2022 Form 10-K.
Since March 8, 2023, the date of our 2022 Form 10-K, management has made progress with remediation efforts, including the following:
Hired a qualified Vice President and Corporate Controller with significant accounting and control expertise.
Added accounting resources at our Novitium location and in other areas of the overall ANI finance and accounting organization.
Implemented our ERP system and consolidated our accounts payable process at Novitium into ANI company controls and procedures as of July 1, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, other than the ongoing remediation effort discussed above, during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The following risk factors are provided to update and supplement the risk factors of the Company previously disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

We are subject to United States federal and state laws related to healthcare fraud and abuse and health information privacy and security, and the failure to comply with such laws may adversely affect our business.

Many of our products are eligible for reimbursement under federal and state health care programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, and/or state pharmaceutical assistance programs, and as a result, certain U.S. federal and state healthcare laws and regulations pertaining to fraud and abuse and patients’ rights are, and will be, applicable to our business. We could be subject to healthcare fraud and abuse and patient privacy regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business.

The domestic and foreign laws that may affect our ability to operate include, but are not limited to: (i) the U.S. Anti-Kickback Statute, which applies to our marketing and research practices, educational programs, pricing policies and relationships with healthcare providers or other entities, by prohibiting, among other things, soliciting, receiving, offering or paying remuneration, directly or indirectly, as a means of inducing, or in exchange for, either the referral of an individual or the purchase or recommendation of an item or service reimbursable under a federal healthcare program, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs; (ii) U.S. federal civil and criminal false claims laws and civil monetary penalty laws, which prohibit, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment to Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare program payers that are false or fraudulent; (iii) new federal criminal statutes that prohibit executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program or making false statements relating to healthcare matters; (iv) the U.S. Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which among other things, requires certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program to report annually information related to certain “payments or other transfers of value” made to physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses and teaching hospitals, and ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members, and similar state laws that require pharmaceutical companies to comply with the pharmaceutical industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government and may require drug manufacturers to report information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians and other healthcare providers or marketing expenditures; (v) the government pricing rules applicable to the Medicare and Medicaid programs, the 340B Drug Pricing Program, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs program, the TRICARE program, and state price transparency reporting laws; and (vi) state and foreign law equivalents of each of the above U.S. laws, such as anti-kickback and false claims laws which may apply to items or services. Defense of litigation claims and government investigations can be costly, time-consuming, and distract management, and it is possible that we could incur judgments, settlements, deferred or non-prosecution agreements, or corporate integrity agreements that would require us to change the way we operate our business. We are committed to conducting the sales and marketing of our products in compliance with the healthcare fraud and abuse laws, but certain applicable laws may impose liability even in the absence of specific intent to defraud. Furthermore, should there be ambiguity, a governmental authority may take a position contrary to a position we have taken, or should an employee violate these laws without our knowledge, a governmental authority may impose civil and/or criminal sanctions.

50


Any adverse outcome in these types of actions, or the imposition of penalties or sanctions for failing to comply with fraud and abuse laws, could adversely affect us and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Some of the statutes and regulations that govern our activities, such as federal and state anti-kickback and false claims laws, are broad in scope, and while exemptions and safe harbors protecting certain common activities exist, they are often narrowly drawn and construed by the courts. While we manage our business activities to comply with these statutory provisions, due to their breadth, complexity and, in certain cases, uncertainty of application, it is possible that our activities could be subject to challenge by various government agencies. In particular, the FDA, the DOJ, the Office of Inspector General at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and other agencies have increased their enforcement activities with respect to the manufacturing, sales, marketing, research and similar activities of pharmaceutical companies in recent years, and many pharmaceutical companies have been subject to government investigations related to these practices. A determination that we are in violation of these and/or other government regulations and legal requirements may result in civil damages and penalties, criminal fines and prosecution, administrative remedies, the recall of products, the total or partial suspension of manufacturing and/or distribution activities, seizure of products, injunctions, whistleblower lawsuits, failure to obtain approval of pending product applications, withdrawal of existing product approvals, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs and other sanctions.

Any of these types of investigations or enforcement actions could affect our ability to commercially distribute our products and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.”
We are subject to certain privacy laws, information security laws, regulations, policies and contractual obligations related to data privacy and security and changes in such laws, regulations, policies, contractual obligations and failure to comply with such requirements, as well as any breach of unsecured identifiable personal information protected by law, could subject us to significant costs, fines, penalties (civil and criminal), and civil litigation which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

As regulatory focus on privacy issues continues to increase, and laws and regulations concerning the protection of personal information expand and become more complex, these potential risks to our business could intensify. In addition, the interpretation and application of consumer, health-related, and data protection laws are often uncertain, contradictory, and in flux, which complicates compliance efforts.

Our operations in an international market subject us to additional regulatory oversight both in the international market and in the U.S., as well as, social, and political uncertainties, which could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and operating results.

We are subject to certain risks associated with having assets and operations located in a foreign jurisdiction, including our operations in India. Our operations in India may be adversely affected by general economic conditions and economic and fiscal policy, including changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates and taxation policies, and increased government regulation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and operating results.

Additionally, involvement in a war or other military action or international acts of terrorism may cause significant disruption to commerce throughout the world. To the extent that such disruptions result in (i) delays or cancellations of customer orders, (ii) a general decrease in consumer spending on healthcare technology, (iii) our inability to effectively market and distribute our products globally (iv) our inability to timely engage with and collect payment from our customers or (v) our inability to access capital markets, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. For example, in response to the continued conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States has imposed and may further impose, and other countries may additionally impose, broad sanctions or other restrictive actions against governmental and other entities in Russia. Additionally, further escalation of geopolitical tensions, such as the conflict in Israel and Gaza and the surrounding areas, could have a broader impact that extends into other markets where we do business. We are unable to predict whether acts of international terrorism or the involvement in a war or other military actions by the United States and/or the countries in which we sell or distribute our products will result in any long-term commercial disruptions or if such involvement or responses will have any long-term material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
