Related Party Transactions [Abstract]  
Related Party Transactions Related Party Transactions
The Company has various business agreements with certain third-party companies in which there is some common ownership and/or management between those entities, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand. The Company has no direct ownership or management in any of such related party companies. The related party relationships that generated income and/or expense and the respective reporting periods are described below.
Financing Lease - Related Party
The Company had a financing lease with LAX Hotel, LLC for two buildings located in Long Island, New York, which are used as an integrated manufacturing and office facility. The Company leased these buildings from LAX Hotel, LLC from 2012 until January 2021. LAX Hotel, LLC had been controlled by a member of the Amneal Group, who also serves as observer on the Company's Board of Directors. As a result, this lease had been historically accounted for as a related party financing lease.
During January 2021, LAX Hotel, LLC sold its interests in the leased buildings to an unrelated third party. Therefore, this lease is no longer a related party transaction, and the corresponding financing lease right-of-use asset and liability have been reclassified in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 to reflect this change. Related party lease costs and interest expense associated with this lease were $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021, $2.6 million and $4.4 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020 and $2.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019.
