Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc., formerly known as Atlas Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), was formed along with its wholly owned subsidiary, K2Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Merger Sub"), on October 4, 2017, for the purpose of facilitating the combination of Impax Laboratories, Inc. (now Impax Laboratories, LLC), a Delaware corporation then listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Impax") and Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Amneal").
Amneal was formed in 2002 and operates through various subsidiaries. Amneal is a vertically integrated developer, manufacturer, and seller of generic pharmaceutical products. Amneal’s pharmaceutical research includes analytical and formulation development and stability. Amneal has operations in the United States, India, and Ireland.  Amneal sells to wholesalers, distributors, hospitals, chain pharmacies and individual pharmacies, either directly or indirectly.
On October 17, 2017, Amneal, Impax, the Company and Merger Sub entered into the Business Combination Agreement, as amended on November 21, 2017 and December 16, 2017 (the "BCA").
On May 4, 2018, pursuant to the BCA, Impax and Amneal combined the generics and specialty pharmaceutical business of Impax with the generic drug development and manufacturing business of Amneal to create the Company as a new generics and specialty pharmaceutical company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, through the following transactions (together, the "Combination," and the closing of the Combination, the "Closing"): (i) Merger Sub merged with and into Impax, with Impax surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, (ii) each share of Impax’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Impax Common Stock"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, other than Impax Common Stock held by Impax in treasury, by the Company or by any of their respective subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive one fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share ("Class A Common Stock"), (iii) Impax converted to a Delaware limited liability company, (iv) the Company contributed to Amneal all of the Company’s equity interests in Impax, in exchange for Amneal common units ("Amneal Common Units"), (v) the Company issued an aggregate number of shares of Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share ("Class B Common Stock," and collectively, with the Class A Common Stock and Class B-1 common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 , ("Class B-1 Common Stock"), the "Company Common Stock" to APHC Holdings, LLC, (formerly Amneal Holdings, LLC), the parent entity of Amneal as of the Closing ("Holdings"), and (vi) the Company became the managing member of Amneal.
Immediately upon the Closing, holders of Impax Common Stock prior to the Closing collectively held approximately 25% of the Company and Holdings held a majority interest in the Company with an effective voting interest of approximately 75% on a fully diluted and as converted basis through its ownership of Class B Common Stock. Holdings also held a corresponding number of Amneal Common Units, which entitled it to approximately 75% of the economic interests in the combined businesses of Impax and Amneal. The Company held an interest in Amneal of approximately 25% and became its managing member.
In connection with the Combination, on May 4, 2018, Holdings entered into definitive purchase agreements which provided for a private placement of certain shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B-1 Common Stock (the "PIPE Investment") with select institutional investors (the "PIPE Investors"). Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreements, upon the Closing, Holdings exercised its right to cause the Company to redeem approximately 15% of its ownership interests in the Company in exchange for 34.5 million shares of Class A Common Stock and 12.3 million unregistered shares of Class B-1 Common Stock (the "Redemption"). The shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B-1 Common Stock received in the Redemption were sold immediately following the Closing by Holdings to the PIPE Investors at a per share purchase price of $18.25 for gross proceeds of $855 million.  Following the PIPE Investment, the PIPE Investors owned collectively approximately 15% of the Company Common Stock on a fully diluted and as converted basis. On May 4, 2018, Holdings also caused Amneal to redeem (the "Closing Date Redemption") 6.9 million of Amneal Common Units held by Holdings for a like number of shares of Class A Common Stock, for future distribution to certain direct and indirect members of Holdings who were or are employees of the Company and to whom were previously issued (prior to the Closing) profit participation units ("PPUs") in Amneal. As a result of the PIPE Investment and Closing Date Redemption, the voting and economic interest of approximately 75% held by Holdings immediately upon Closing was reduced by approximately 18%. The overall interest percentage of the non-controlling interest holders upon the consummation of the Combination, PIPE Investment and Closing Date Redemption was approximately 57%.  As of December 31, 2020, the overall interest percentage of the non-controlling interest holders was approximately 51%.
On July 5, 2018, Holdings distributed to its members (collectively, the "Amneal Group") all Amneal Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock held by Holdings. As a result, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, Holdings did not hold any equity interest in Amneal or the Company.
The Company is a holding company, whose principal assets are Amneal Common Units.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, pursuant to the Company's certificate of incorporation, the Company converted all (12.3 million) of its issued and outstanding shares of Class B-1 Common Stock to Class A Common Stock and such shares of Class B-1 Common Stock have been retired and may not be reissued by the Company. The rights of Class A Common Stock and Class B-1 Common Stock are identical, except that the Class B-1 Common Stock had certain director appointment rights and the Class B-1 Common Stock had no voting rights (other than with respect to its director appointment right and as otherwise required by law).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting Principles
The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Principles of Consolidation
Although the Company has a minority economic interest in Amneal, it is Amneal’s sole managing member, having the sole voting power to make all of Amneal’s business decisions and control its management. Therefore, the Company consolidates the financial statements of Amneal and its subsidiaries. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are a continuation of Amneal’s financial statements, with adjustments to equity to reflect the Combination, the PIPE Investment and non-controlling interests for the portion of Amneal’s economic interests that is not held by the Company. Prior to the closing of the Combination and PIPE Investment, the Company did not conduct any activities other than those incidental to the formation of it and Merger Sub and the matters contemplated by the BCA and had no operations and no material assets or liabilities. Results for the year ended December 31, 2018 include the impact of the Combination from May 4, 2018 to December 31, 2018.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported financial position at the date of the financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The following are some, but not all, of such estimates: the determination of chargebacks, sales returns, rebates, billbacks, valuation of intangible and other assets acquired in business combinations, allowances for accounts receivable, accrued liabilities, stock-based compensation, valuation of inventory balances, the determination of useful lives for product rights and the assessment of expected cash flows used in evaluating goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and associated ASUs (collectively "Topic 606"), which sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific sections of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed.
When assessing its revenue recognition, the Company performs the following five steps in accordance with Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of its products to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those products. For further details on the Company’s revenue recognition policies under Topic 606, refer to Note 4. Revenue Recognition.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s stock-based compensation consists of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and market performance-based restricted stock units (“MPRSUs”) awarded to employees and non-employee directors. Stock options are measured at their fair value on the grant date or date of modification, as applicable. RSUs, including MPRSUs, are measured at the stock price on the grant date or date of modification, as applicable. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service and/or performance period, as applicable. Forfeitures of awards are accounted for as a reduction in stock-based compensation expense in the period such awards are forfeited. The Company's policy is to issue new shares upon option exercises and the vesting of RSUs and MPRSUs.
Foreign Currencies
The Company has operations in the U.S., India, Ireland, and other international jurisdictions.  The results of its non-U.S. dollar based operations are translated to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Investment accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’/members’ deficit in the consolidated balance sheet and are included in the determination of comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of net income (loss) in the Company consolidated statements of operations as a component of foreign exchange gains and losses. Such foreign currency transaction gains and losses include fluctuations related to long term intercompany loans that are payable in the foreseeable future.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, the acquiring entity in a business combination records the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition at their fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets and other identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related costs, primarily professional fees, are expensed as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. A portion of the Company’s cash flows are derived outside the U.S. As a result, the Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company maintains cash balances at both U.S.-based and foreign-based commercial banks. At various times during the year, cash balances in the U.S. may exceed amounts that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Restricted Cash
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the Company had restricted cash balances of $6 million and $2 million in its bank accounts primarily related to the purchase of certain land and equipment.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company limits its credit risk with respect to accounts receivable by performing credit evaluations when deemed necessary. The Company does not require collateral to secure amounts owed to it by its customers.
Trade accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the best estimate of expected credit losses of the accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, current information, and forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company determines its allowance methodology by pooling receivable balances at the customer level. We consider various factors, including the Company’s previous loss history, individual credit risk associated to each customer, and the current and future condition of the general economy. These credit risk factors are monitored on a quarterly basis and updated as necessary. To the extent that any individual debtor is identified whose credit quality has deteriorated, the Company establishes allowances based on the individual risk characteristics of such customer. The Company makes concerted efforts to collect all outstanding balances due from customers; however, account balances are charged off against the allowance when management believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to customers.
Chargebacks Received from Manufacturers
When a sale occurs on a contracted item, the difference between the cost the Company pays to the manufacturer of that item and the contract price that the end customer has with the manufacturer is rebated to the Company by the manufacturer as a chargeback. Chargebacks are recorded as a reduction to cost of sales and either a reduction in the amount due to the manufacturer (if there is a right of offset) or as a receivable from the manufacturer.
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods held for sale, raw materials, and work in process. Inventories are stated at net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method. Adjustments for excess and obsolete inventories are established based upon historical experience and management’s assessment of current product demand. These assessments include inventory obsolescence based on its expiration date, damaged or rejected product, and slow-moving products.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows:
Asset Classification Estimated Useful Life
Buildings 30 years
Computer equipment 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Leasehold improvements Shorter of asset's useful life or remaining life of lease
Machinery and equipment 
5 - 10 years
Vehicles 5 years
Upon retirement or disposal, the cost of the asset disposed and the accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is reflected as part of operating income (loss) in the period of disposal. Expenditures that significantly increase value or extend useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are capitalized, whereas those for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed. The Company capitalizes interest on borrowings during the construction period of major capital projects as part of the related asset and amortizes the capitalized interest into earnings over the related asset’s remaining useful life.
Leases
All significant lease arrangements are recognized as right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities at lease commencement. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments using the Company's incremental borrowing rate, which is assessed quarterly.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At each balance sheet date, operating and financing lease liabilities continue to represent the present value of the future payments. Financing lease ROU assets are expensed using the straight-line method, unless another basis is more representative of the pattern of economic benefit, to lease expense. Interest on financing lease liabilities is recognized in interest expense.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) are not recognized in the balance sheet and the related lease payments are recognized as incurred over the lease term. The Company separates lease and non-lease components. A portion of the Company's real estate leases are subject to periodic changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). The changes to the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred.
For further details regarding the Company's leases, refer to Note 12. Leases.
In-Process Research and Development
The fair value of in-process research and development ("IPR&D") acquired in a business combination is determined based on the present value of each research project’s projected cash flows using an income approach. Revenues are estimated based on
relevant market size and growth factors, expected industry trends, individual project life cycles and the life of each research project’s underlying marketability. In determining the fair value of each research project, expected cash flows are adjusted for certain risks of completion, including technical and regulatory risk.
The value attributable to IPR&D projects at the time of acquisition is capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and tested for impairment until the project is completed or abandoned. Upon completion of the project, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is then accounted for as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be consumed or otherwise used up or, if that pattern is not readily determinable, on a straight-line basis. If the project is abandoned, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is charged to expense.
Intangible assets with indefinite lives, including IPR&D, are tested for impairment if impairment indicators arise and, at a minimum, annually. However, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. The indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test consists of a one-step analysis that compares the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company considers many factors in evaluating whether the value of its intangible assets with indefinite lives may not be recoverable, including, but not limited to, expected growth rates, the cost of equity and debt capital, general economic conditions, the Company's outlook and market performance of the Company's industry and recent and forecasted financial performance.
Goodwill
Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. The Company reviews goodwill for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
In order to test goodwill for impairment, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether a quantitative assessment of goodwill is necessary. The qualitative factors considered by the Company may include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, the Company’s outlook, market performance of the Company’s industry and recent and forecasted financial performance. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. If a quantitative assessment is required, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting unit using a combination of the income and market approaches.  If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company recognizes a goodwill impairment charge for the reporting unit equal to the lesser of (i) the total goodwill allocated to that reporting unit and (ii) the amount by which that reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. See Note 15. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for further discussion of the Company's quantitative assessment of goodwill.
Assumptions and estimates used in the evaluation of impairment may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets, which could result in impairment charges in future periods. Such assumptions include projections of future cash flows and the current fair value of the asset.
Amortization of Intangible Assets with Finite Lives
Intangible assets, other than indefinite-lived intangible assets, are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be consumed or otherwise used up or, if that pattern is not readily determinable, on a straight-line basis. The useful life is the period over which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Intangible assets are not written-off in the period of acquisition unless they become impaired during that period.
The Company regularly evaluates the remaining useful life of each intangible asset that is being amortized to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of the intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. See Note 15. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for further discussion of the Company's intangible assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Including Intangible Assets with Finite Lives)
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates assets for potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted net cash flows to the carrying amount of the asset. If the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, impairment is measured based on the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and fair value which is generally an expected present value cash flow technique. Management’s policy in determining whether an impairment indicator exists comprises measurable operating performance criteria as well as other qualitative measures. See Note 15. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for further discussion of the Company's assessment of intangible asset impairment.
Financial Instruments
The Company minimizes its risks from interest fluctuations through its normal operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage risk and are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. The Company does not use leveraged derivative financial instruments.  Derivative financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting must be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.
All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities and measured at fair value.  For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of the derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes and subsequently amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings, which is when the Company recognizes interest expense on the hedged cash flows.  Cash flows of such derivative financial instruments are classified consistent with the underlying hedged item.
Highly effective hedging relationships that use interest rate swaps as the hedging instrument and that meet criteria under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, may qualify for the “short-cut method” of assessing effectiveness.  The short-cut method allows the Company to make the assumption of no ineffectiveness, which means that the change in fair value of the hedged item can be assumed to be equal to the change in fair value of the derivative. Unless critical terms change, no further evaluation of effectiveness is performed for these hedging relationships unless a critical term is changed.
For a hedging relationship that does not qualify for the short-cut method, the Company measures its effectiveness using the “hypothetical derivative method”, in which the change in fair value of the hedged item must be measured separately from the change in fair value of the derivative.  At inception and quarterly thereafter, the Company formally assesses whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item.  The Company compares the change in the fair value of the actual interest rate derivative to the change in the fair value of a hypothetical interest rate derivative with critical terms that match the hedged interest rate payments.  After the initial quantitative assessment, this analysis is performed on a qualitative basis and, if it is determined that the hedging relationship was and continues to be highly effective, no further analysis is required.
All components of each derivative financial instrument's gain or loss are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and any deferred gains or losses related to a discontinued cash flow hedge shall continue to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) net of income taxes, unless it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur. If it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur by the originally specified time period, the Company discontinues hedge accounting, and any deferred gains or losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are classified into earnings immediately.
The Company is subject to credit risk as a result of nonperformance by counterparties to the derivative agreements.  Upon inception and quarterly thereafter, the Company makes judgments on each counterparty’s creditworthiness for nonperformance by counterparties.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of its assets and
liabilities by applying the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Such net tax effects on temporary differences are reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740-10 prescribes a two-step approach for the recognition and measurement of tax benefits associated with the positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. The Company has reviewed and will continue to review the conclusions reached regarding uncertain tax positions, which may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. To the extent that the Company’s assessment of the conclusions reached regarding uncertain tax positions changes as a result of the evaluation of new information, such change in estimate will be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. The Company reports income tax-related interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions, if applicable, as a component of income tax expense.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and all changes in stockholders’ equity (except those arising from transactions with stockholders) including foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from the consolidation of foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements and unrealized gains on cash flows hedges, net of income taxes.
Research and Development
Research and development ("R&D") activities are expensed as incurred. R&D expenses primarily consist of direct and allocated expenses incurred with the process of formulation, clinical research, and validation associated with new product development. Upfront and milestone payments made to third parties in connection with R&D collaborations are expensed as incurred up to the point of regulatory approval or when there is no alternative future use.
Intellectual Property Legal Development Expenses
The Company expenses external intellectual property legal development expenses as incurred. These costs relate to legal challenges of innovator’s patents for invalidity or non-infringement, which are customary in the generic pharmaceutical industry, and are incurred predominately during development of a product and prior to regulatory approval. Associated costs include, but are not limited to, formulation assessments, patent challenge opinions and strategy, and litigation expenses to defend the intellectual property supporting the Company's regulatory filings.
Shipping Costs
The Company records the costs of shipping product to its customers as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses as incurred. Shipping costs were $17 million, $15 million and $21 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modified the disclosure requirements on fair value measurement.  The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 effective January 1, 2020, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, guidance that changes the impairment model for most financial assets including trade receivables and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The standard replaced today’s "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost and requires entities to record allowances for available-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they did under the other-than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. Entities apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provided elective amendments for entities that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.  The amendments may be applied to impacted contracts and hedges prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions
AvKARE and R&S Purchase Agreement
On December 10, 2019, the Company, through its investment in Rondo Partners, LLC (“Rondo”), entered into equity purchase and operating agreements to acquire approximately a 65.1% controlling financing interest in both AvKARE Inc., a Tennessee corporation, and Dixon-Shane, LLC d/b/a R&S Northeast LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company (“R&S”) (collectively the “Acquisitions”).  Prior to closing, AvKARE, Inc. converted to a limited liability company, AvKARE, LLC. AvKARE, LLC is one of the largest private label providers of generic pharmaceuticals in the U.S. federal agency sector, primarily focused on serving the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs. R&S is a national pharmaceutical wholesaler focused primarily on offering 340b-qualified entities products to provide consistency in care and pricing.
On January 31, 2020, the Company completed the Acquisitions. The purchase price of $294 million included cash of $254 million, the issuance of long-term promissory notes to the sellers with an aggregate principal amount of $44 million (estimated fair value of $35 million) (the “Sellers Notes”) and a short-term promissory note (the “Short-Term Seller Note”) with a principal amount of $1 million to the sellers. The cash purchase price was funded by $76 million of cash on hand and debt of $178 million of proceeds from a $180 million term loan.  The remaining $2 million consisted of working capital costs. The Company is not party to or a guarantor of the term loan, the Sellers Notes or the Short-Term Sellers Note. (refer to Note 17. Debt).  For further detail of the purchase price, refer to the table below.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, there were $1 million of transaction costs associated with the Acquisitions recorded in acquisition, transaction-related and integration expenses (none in 2019 and 2018).
The Acquisitions were accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, with Amneal as the accounting acquirer of AvKARE, LLC and R&S.
The purchase price was calculated as follows (in thousands):
Cash$254,000 
Sellers Notes (1)
35,033 
Settlement of Amneal trade accounts receivable from R&S (2)
6,855 
Short-Term Seller Note (3)

Fair value consideration transferred$294,248 
(1)In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, all consideration transferred was measured at its acquisition-date fair value. The Sellers Notes were stated at the fair value estimate of $35 million, which is the $44 million aggregate principal amount less a $9 million discount.  The fair value of the Sellers Notes was estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation approach under the option pricing framework.
(2)Represents trade accounts receivable from R&S that was effectively settled upon closing of the Acquisitions.
(3)Represents the principal amount due on the Short-Term Seller Note, which approximates fair value.
(4)Represents a working capital adjustment pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement. The entire amount was received in cash by the Company in September 2020.

Government contracts22,000 4 years
National contracts28,600 5 years
Customer relationships13,000 10 years
Trade name500 6 years
$130,800 
The estimated fair value of the government licenses was determined using the “with-and-without method,” which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an intangible asset that is equal to the difference between the present value of the prospective revenues and expenses for the business with and without the subject intangible asset in place. The estimated fair values of the government contracts, national contracts, and customer relationships were determined using the “income approach,” which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an intangible asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows that an intangible asset would generate over its remaining useful life. The estimated fair value of the trade name was determined using the “relief from royalty method,” which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an intangible asset equal to the present value of the after-tax royalty savings attributable to owning the intangible asset. The assumptions, including the expected projected cash flows, utilized in the preliminary purchase price allocation and in determining the purchase price were based on management's best estimates as of the closing date of the Acquisitions on January 31, 2020. All elements of the purchase price allocation have been finalized, except for deferred taxes which are based on the determination of the U.S. partnership tax basis.
Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations included the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset (including net revenues, cost of sales, selling and marketing costs and working capital / contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream, as well as other factors. The underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis may change; accordingly, for these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
The Sellers Notes and redeemable non-controlling interests were estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation approach under the option pricing framework. The non-controlling interests are redeemable at the option of either the non-controlling interest holder and Amneal. The fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interests considers these redemption rights.
Of the $104 million of goodwill acquired in connection with the Acquisitions, approximately $70 million was allocated to the Company’s AvKARE segment and approximately $34 million was allocated to the Generics segment (refer to Note 26. Segment Information).  Goodwill was allocated to the Generics segment as net revenue of products manufactured by Amneal and distributed by the Acquisitions is reflected in Generics’ segment results. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interests over the fair value of the net assets recognized. Factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill include Amneal’s intent to diversify its business and open growth opportunities in the large, complex and growing federal healthcare market.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Acquisitions contributed total net revenue of approximately $311 million and operating income of $4 million, which included approximately $32 million of amortization expense from intangible assets acquired in the Acquisitions, to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.
Impax Acquisition
On May 4, 2018, the Company completed the Combination, as described in Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation.  For the year ended December 31, 2018, transaction costs associated with the Impax acquisition of $23 million were recorded in acquisition, transaction-related and integration expenses (none for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019).
The Impax acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, with Amneal as the accounting acquirer of Impax. Amneal was identified as the accounting acquirer because: (i) Amneal exchanged Amneal Common Units with the Company for the Company’s interest in Impax, (ii) Holdings held a majority interest in the Company with an effective voting interest of approximately 75% on a fully diluted and as converted basis through its ownership of Class B Common Stock, and (iii) a majority of the directors on the Company's board of directors were designated by Holdings. As such, the cost to acquire Impax was allocated to the respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date of the Combination.
The measurement of the consideration transferred by Amneal for its interest in Impax is based on the fair value of the equity interest that Amneal would have had to issue to give the Impax shareholders the same percentage equity interest in the Company, which is equal to approximately 25% of Amneal, on May 4, 2018. However, the fair value of Impax's common stock was used to calculate the consideration for the Combination because Impax's common stock had a quoted market price and the Combination involved only the exchange of equity.
The purchase price, net of cash acquired, is calculated as follows (in thousands, except share amount and price per share):
Fully diluted Impax share number (1)
73,288,792 
Closing quoted market price of an Impax common share on May 4, 2018$18.30

In addition to the amortizable intangible assets noted above, $529 million was allocated to IPR&D.
The estimated fair value of the in-process research and development and identifiable intangible assets was determined using the "income approach," which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. The assumptions, including the expected projected cash flows, utilized in the purchase price allocation and in determining the purchase price were based on management's best estimates as of the closing date of the Combination on May 4, 2018.
Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations included the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D, selling and marketing costs and working capital / contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, the potential regulatory and commercial success risks, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream, as well as other factors. The underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis may change; accordingly, for these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
Goodwill
Of the total goodwill acquired in connection with the Impax acquisition, approximately $360 million was allocated to the Company’s Specialty segment and approximately $39 million was allocated to the Generics segment. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the expected revenue and cost synergies of the combined company. Factors that contributed to the Company’s recognition of goodwill include the Company’s intent to expand its generic and specialty product portfolios and to acquire certain benefits from the Impax product pipelines, in addition to the anticipated synergies that the Company expects to generate from the acquisition.
Gemini Laboratories, LLC Acquisition
On May 7, 2018, the Company acquired 98.0% of the outstanding equity interests in Gemini Laboratories, LLC ("Gemini") for total consideration of $120 million, net of $4 million cash acquired. At closing, the acquisition was funded by a $43 million up-front cash payment (including $3 million related to a preliminary working capital adjustment) from cash on hand and a $77 million unsecured promissory note. The note payable bears interest at 3% annually. The note payable and related accrued interest was paid on November 7, 2018, its maturity date. Additionally, the Company made a payment of $3 million in July 2018 related to the final working capital adjustment. In connection with the acquisition of Gemini, the Company recorded an amount representing the non-controlling interest of Gemini of $3 million. During September 2020, the Company paid $3 million to Gemini’s non-controlling interest holders, of which $2 million was to acquire their remaining 2.0% equity interests and $1 million to distribute earnings. Refer to Note 22. Stockholders’ Equity, for further details.
Gemini is a pharmaceutical company with a portfolio that includes licensed and owned, niche and mature branded products. Gemini was a related party of the Company; refer to Note 24. Related Party Transactions, for further details.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, transaction costs associated with the Gemini acquisition of $0.4 million were recorded in acquisition, transaction-related and integration expenses (none for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019). The Gemini acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue Recognition Revenue Recognition
Performance Obligations
The Company’s performance obligation is the supply of finished pharmaceutical products to its customers. The Company’s customers consist primarily of major wholesalers, retail pharmacies, managed care organizations, purchasing co-ops, hospitals, government agencies, institutions and pharmaceutical companies. The Company’s customer contracts generally consist of both a master agreement, which is signed by the Company and its customer, and a customer submitted purchase order, which is governed by the terms and conditions of the master agreement. Customers purchase product by direct channel sales from the Company or by indirect channel sales through various distribution channels.
Revenue is recognized when the Company transfers control of its products to the customer, which typically occurs at a point-in-time, upon shipment or delivery. Substantially all of the Company’s net revenues relate to products which are transferred to the customer at a point-in-time.
The Company offers standard payment terms to its customers and has elected the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing, since the period between when the Company transfers the product to the customer and when the customer pays for that product is one year or less. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues. The consideration amounts due from customers as a result of product sales are subject to variable consideration, as described further below.
The Company offers standard product warranties which provide assurance that the product will function as expected and in accordance with specifications. Customers cannot purchase warranties separately and these warranties do not give rise to a separate performance obligation.
The Company permits the return of product under certain circumstances, mainly upon product expiration, instances of shipping errors or where product is damaged in transit. The Company accrues for the customer’s right to return as part of its variable consideration. See below for further details.
Variable Consideration
The Company includes an estimate of variable consideration in its transaction price at the time of sale, when control of the product transfers to the customer. Variable consideration includes but is not limited to: chargebacks, distribution fees, rebates, group purchasing organization ("GPO") fees, prompt payment (cash) discounts, consideration payable to the customer, billbacks, Medicaid and other government pricing programs, price protection and shelf stock adjustments, sales returns, and profit shares.
The Company assesses whether or not an estimate of its variable consideration is constrained and has determined that the constraint does not apply, since it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue will not occur in the future when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company’s estimates for variable consideration are adjusted as required at each reporting period for specific known developments that may result in a change in the amount of total consideration it expects to receive.
Chargebacks
In the case an indirect customer purchases product from their preferred wholesaler instead of directly from the Company, and the contract price charged to the indirect customer is lower than the wholesaler pricing, the Company pays the direct customer (wholesaler) a chargeback for the price differential. The Company estimates its chargeback accrual based on its estimates of the level of inventory of its products in the distribution channel that remain subject to chargebacks and historical chargeback rates. The estimate of the level of products in the distribution channel is based primarily on data provided by key customers.
Rebates
The Company pays fixed or volume-based rebates to its customers based on a fixed amount, fixed percentage of product sales or based on the achievement of a specified level of purchases. The Company’s rebate accruals are based on actual net sales,
contractual rebate rates negotiated with customers, and expected purchase volumes / corresponding tiers based on actual sales to date and forecasted amounts.
Group Purchasing Organization Fees
The Company pays fees to GPOs for administrative services that the GPOs perform in connection with the purchases of product by the GPO participants who are the Company’s customers. The Company’s GPO fee accruals are based on actual net sales, contractual fee rates negotiated with GPOs and the mix of the products in the distribution channel that remain subject to GPO fees.
Prompt Payment (Cash) Discounts
The Company provides customers with prompt payment discounts which may result in adjustments to the price that is invoiced for the product transferred, in the case that payments are made within a defined period. The Company’s prompt payment discount accruals are based on actual net sales and contractual discount rates.
Consideration Payable to the Customer
The Company pays administrative and service fees to its customers based on a fixed percentage of the product price. These fees are not in exchange for a distinct good or service and therefore are recognized as a reduction of the transaction price. The Company accrues for these fees based on actual net sales, contractual fee rates negotiated with the customer and the mix of the products in the distribution channel that remain subject to fees.
Billbacks
In the case an indirect customer purchases product from their preferred wholesaler instead of directly from the Company, and the contract price charged to the indirect customer is higher than contractual pricing, the Company pays the indirect customer a billback for the price differential. The Company estimates its billback accrual based on its estimates of the level of inventory of its products in the distribution channel that remain subject to billbacks and historical billback rates. The estimate of the level of products in the distribution channel is based primarily on data provided by key customers.
Medicaid and Other Government Pricing Programs
The Company complies with required rebates mandated by law under Medicaid and other government pricing programs. The Company estimates its government pricing accruals based on monthly sales, historical experience of claims submitted by the various states and jurisdictions, historical rates and estimated lag time of the rebate invoices.
Price Protection and Shelf Stock Adjustments
The Company provides customers with price protection and shelf stock adjustments which may result in an adjustment to the price charged for the product transferred, based on differences between old and new prices which may be applied to the customer’s on-hand inventory at the time of the price change. The Company accrues for these adjustments when its expected value of an adjustment is greater than zero, based on contractual pricing, actual net sales, accrual rates based on historical average rates, and estimates of the level of inventory of its products in the distribution channel that remain subject to these adjustments. The estimate of the level of products in the distribution channel is based primarily on data provided by key customers.
Sales Returns
The Company permits the return of product under certain circumstances, mainly upon product expiration, instances of shipping errors or where product is damaged in transit, and occurrences of product recalls. The Company’s product returns accrual is primarily based on estimates of future product returns based generally on actual net sales, estimates of the level of inventory of its products in the distribution channel that remain subject to returns, estimated lag time of returns and historical return rates. The estimate of the level of products in the distribution channel is based primarily on data provided by key customers.
Profit Shares
For certain product sale arrangements, the Company earns a profit share upon the customer’s sell-through of the product purchased from the Company. The Company estimates its profit shares based on actual net sales, estimates of the level of
inventory of its products in the distribution channel that remain subject to profit shares, and historical rates of profit shares earned. The estimate of the level of products in the distribution channel is based primarily on data provided by key customers.
Concentration of Revenue
The Company's three largest customers accounted for approximately 83%, 81% and 83% of total gross sales of products for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Alliance and Collaboration Alliance and Collaboration
The Company has entered into several alliance, collaboration, license, distribution and similar agreements with respect to certain of its products and services with third-party pharmaceutical companies. The consolidated statements of operations include revenue recognized under agreements the Company has entered into to develop marketing and/or distribution relationships with its partners to fully leverage the technology platform and revenue recognized under development agreements which generally obligate the Company to provide research and development services over multiple periods.  The Company's significant arrangements are discussed below.
Levothyroxine License and Supply Agreement; Transition Agreement
On August 16, 2018, the Company entered into a license and supply agreement with Jerome Stevens Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("JSP") for levothyroxine sodium tablets ("Levothyroxine"). This agreement designated the Company as JSP's exclusive commercial partner for Levothyroxine in the U.S. market for a 10-year term commencing on March 22, 2019. Under this license and supply agreement with JSP, the Company accrued the up-front license payment of $50 million on March 22, 2019, which was paid in April 2019. The agreement also provides for the Company to pay a profit share to JSP based on net profits of the Company's sales of Levothyroxine, after considering product costs.
On November 9, 2018, the Company entered into a transition agreement ("Transition Agreement") with Lannett Company (“Lannett”) and JSP. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company assumed the distribution and marketing of Levothyroxine from Lannett beginning December 1, 2018 through March 22, 2019 (the “Transition Period”), ahead of the commencement date of the license and supply agreement with JSP described above.
In accordance with the terms of the Transition Agreement, the Company made $47 million of non-refundable payments to Lannett in November 2018. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, $37 million and $10 million, respectively, were expensed to costs of goods sold, as the company sold Levothyroxine.
Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $1 million in cost of sales related to reimbursement due to Lannett for certain of its unsold inventory at the end of the Transition Period, which was fully settled in March 2020.
Biosimilar Licensing and Supply Agreement
On May 7, 2018, the Company entered into a licensing and supply agreement, with Mabxience S.L., for its biosimilar candidate for Avastin® (bevacizumab). The Company will be the exclusive partner in the U.S. market. The Company will pay up-front, development and regulatory milestone payments as well as commercial milestone payments on reaching pre-agreed sales targets
in the market to Mabxience, up to $72 million. For each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company expensed milestone payments of $5 million in research and development expense.
Distribution, License, Development and Supply Agreement with AstraZeneca UK Limited
In January 2012, Impax entered into an agreement with AstraZeneca UK Limited ("AstraZeneca") to distribute branded products under the terms of a distribution, license, development and supply agreement (the "AZ Agreement"). The parties subsequently entered into a First Amendment to the AZ Agreement dated May 31, 2016 (as amended, the "AZ Amendment"). Under the terms of the AZ Agreement, AstraZeneca granted to Impax an exclusive license to commercialize the tablet, orally disintegrating tablet and nasal spray formulations of Zomig® (zolmitriptan) products for the treatment of migraine headaches in the United States and in certain U.S. territories, except during an initial transition period when AstraZeneca fulfilled all orders of Zomig® products on Impax’s behalf and AstraZeneca paid to Impax the gross profit on such Zomig® products. Pursuant to the AZ Amendment, under certain conditions, and depending on the nature and terms of the study agreed to with the FDA, Impax agreed to conduct, at its own expense, the juvenile toxicity study and pediatric study required by the FDA under the Pediatric Research Equity Act ("PREA") for approval of the nasal formulation of Zomig ®  for the acute treatment of migraine in pediatric patients ages six through eleven years old, as further described in the study protocol mutually agreed to by the parties (the "PREA Study"). In consideration for Impax conducting the PREA Study at its own expense, the AZ Amendment provided for the total royalty payments payable by Impax to AstraZeneca on net sales of Zomig ®  products under the AZ Agreement to be reduced by an aggregate amount of $30 million to be received in quarterly amounts specified in the Amendment beginning from the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and through the quarter ended December 31, 2020. In the event the royalty reduction amounts exceeded the royalty payments payable by Impax to AstraZeneca pursuant to the AZ Agreement in any given quarter, AstraZeneca was required to pay Impax an amount equal to the difference between the royalty reduction amount and the royalty payment payable by Impax to AstraZeneca. Impax’s commitment to perform the PREA Study may be terminated, without penalty, under certain circumstances as set forth in the AZ Amendment. The Company recognized the amounts received from AstraZeneca for the PREA Study as a reduction to research and development expense.
In May 2013, Impax’s exclusivity period for branded Zomig® tablets and orally disintegrating tablets expired and Impax launched authorized generic versions of those products in the United States. As discussed above, pursuant to the AZ Amendment, the total royalty payments payable by Impax to AstraZeneca on net sales of Zomig ® products under the AZ Agreement was reduced by certain specified amounts beginning from the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and through the quarter ended December 31, 2020, with such reduced royalty amounts totaling an aggregate amount of $30 million. The Company recorded cost of goods sold for royalties under this agreement of $17 million, $19 million, and $15 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring and Other Charges Restructuring and Other Charges
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, in connection with the Combination, the Company committed to a restructuring plan to achieve cost savings. The Company expected to integrate its operations and reduce its combined cost structure through workforce reductions that eliminated duplicative positions and consolidated certain administrative, manufacturing and research and development facilities. In connection with this plan, the Company announced on May 10, 2018 that it intended to close its Hayward, California-based operations.
In addition to the actions noted above, on July 10, 2019, the Company announced a plan to restructure its operations that is intended to reduce costs and optimize its organizational and manufacturing infrastructure. Pursuant to the restructuring plan as revised, the Company expects to reduce its headcount over the course of this multi-year program by approximately 300 to 350 employees through December 31, 2021, primarily by closing its manufacturing facility located in Hauppauge, NY. Through December 31, 2020, the Company reduced headcount by 280 employees under this plan.
Other cash expenditures associated with this restructuring plan, including decommissioning and dismantling the sites and other third party costs cannot be estimated at this time (collectively, these actions comprise the "Plans").
The following table sets forth the components of the Company's restructuring and asset-related charges for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

(1)For the year ended December 31, 2020, these expenses were primarily related to professional services fees (e.g., legal, investment banking and consulting) associated with the pending acquisition of a 98% interest in Kashiv Specialty Pharmaceuticals, LLC (see Note 28. Subsequent Events), systems integrations associated with the Combination and integration activities associated with the Acquisitions. For the year ended December 31, 2019, these costs primarily consisted of integration costs. For the year ended December 31, 2018, these costs included professional service fees (e.g., legal, investment banking and accounting), information technology systems conversions, and contract termination/renegotiation costs. For more information, see Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures.
(2)Profit Participation Units expense relates to the accelerated vesting of certain of Amneal's profit participation units that occurred prior to the Closing of the Combination for current and former employees of Amneal for service prior to the Combination (see additional information in the paragraph below and Note 22. Stockholders' Equity).
(3)Transaction-related bonus reflects a cash bonus that was funded by Holdings for employees of Amneal for service prior to the closing of the Combination (see additional information in Note 22. Stockholders' Equity).
Accelerated Vesting of Profit Participation Units
Amneal’s historical capital structure included several classifications of membership and profit participation units. During the second quarter of 2018, the Board of Managers of Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC approved a discretionary modification to certain profit participation units concurrent with the Combination that immediately caused the vesting of all profit participation units that were previously issued to certain current or former employees for service prior to the Combination. The modification entitled the holders to 6,886,140 shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair value of $126 million on the date of the Combination and $33 million of cash. The cash and shares were distributed by Holdings with no additional shares issued by the Company. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a charge in acquisition, transaction-related and integration expenses and a corresponding capital contribution of $159 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income taxes Income taxes
As a result of the Combination (refer to Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation), the Company became the sole managing member of Amneal, with Amneal being the accounting predecessor for accounting purposes. Amneal is a limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, Amneal is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Amneal is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including the Company, on a pro rata basis subject to applicable tax regulations. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income or loss of Amneal, as well as any stand-alone income or loss generated by the Company. Amneal provides for income taxes in the various foreign jurisdictions in which it operates.
In connection with the Combination, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset for its outside basis difference in its investment in Amneal at May 4, 2018.  Also, in connection with the Combination, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset related to the net operating loss of Impax from January 1, 2018 through May 4, 2018 as well as certain federal and state credits and interest carryforwards of Impax that were attributable to the Company.
The Company records its valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a DTA will not be realized. The Company routinely evaluates the realizability of its DTAs by assessing the likelihood that its DTAs will be recovered based on all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, estimates of future taxable income, tax planning strategies and results of operations. Estimating future taxable income is inherently uncertain and requires judgment. In projecting future taxable income, the Company considers its historical results and incorporates certain assumptions, including projected new product launches, revenue growth, and operating margins, among others.
A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces DTAs to the amount expected to be realized. When determining the amount of net DTAs that are more likely than not to be realized, the Company assesses all available positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, prior earnings history, projected future earnings, carryback and carry-forward periods and the feasibility of ongoing tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a DTA. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent the evidence may be objectively verified. As such, it is generally difficult for positive evidence regarding projected future taxable income to outweigh objective negative evidence of recent financial reporting losses.
The Company established a valuation allowance based upon all available objective and verifiable evidence both positive and negative, including historical levels of pre-tax income (loss) both on a consolidated basis and tax reporting entity basis, legislative developments, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future pre-tax income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. Since first establishing a valuation allowance, the Company has continued to estimate that it has generated a cumulative consolidated three year pre-tax loss through December 31, 2020. As a result of the year-end analysis through December 31, 2020, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that it will not realize the benefits of its gross DTAs and therefore maintained its valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2020, this valuation allowance was $423 million, and it reduced the carrying value of these gross DTAs, net of the impact of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, to zero.
In connection with the Combination, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) for which it is generally required to pay the other holders of Amneal Common Units 85% of the applicable tax savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax that it is deemed to realize as a result of certain tax attributes of their Amneal Common Units sold to the Company (or exchanged in a taxable sale) and that are created as a result of (i) the sales of their Amneal Common Units for shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) tax benefits attributable to payments made under the TRA.  In conjunction with the valuation allowance recorded on the DTAs, the Company reversed the accrued TRA liability of $193 million, which resulted in a gain recorded in other income (expense), net for the year ended December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2020, no additional TRA liability has been accrued.
The timing and amount of any payments under the TRA may vary, depending upon a number of factors including the timing and number of Amneal common units sold or exchanged for the Company's Class A Common Stock, the price of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the date of sale or exchange, the timing and amount of the Company's taxable income, and the tax rate in effect at the time of realization of the Company's taxable income (the TRA liability is determined based on a percentage of the corporate tax savings from the use of the TRA's attributes). Further sales or exchanges occurring subsequent to December 31, 2020 could result in future Amneal tax deductions and obligations to pay 85% of such benefits to the holders of Amneal common units. These obligations could be incremental to and substantially larger than the approximate $206 million contingent liability as of December 31, 2020 described below. Under certain conditions, such as a change of control or other early termination event, the Company could be obligated to make TRA payments in advance of tax benefits being realized.

As noted above, the Company has determined it is more-likely-than-not we will be unable to utilize all of its DTAs subject to TRA; therefore, as of December 31, 2020, the Company has not recognized the contingent liability under the TRA related to the tax savings it may realize from common units sold or exchanged. If utilization of these DTAs becomes more-likely- than-not in the future, at such time, these TRA liabilities (which amounted to approximately $206 million at December 31, 2020, as a result of basis adjustments under Internal Revenue Code Section 754) will be recorded through charges in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. However, if the tax attributes are not utilized in future years, it is reasonably possible no amounts would be paid under the TRA. Should the Company determine that a DTA with a valuation allowance is realizable in a subsequent period, the related valuation allowance will be released and if a resulting TRA payment is determined to be probable, a corresponding TRA liability will be recorded.
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). The CARES Act is an emergency economic stimulus package in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which, among other things, includes provisions relating to income and non-income-based tax laws. Some of the key income tax-related provisions include net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. Some of these tax provisions are effective retroactively for years ending before the date of enactment. Other non-income-based tax provisions include deferral of the employer share of Social Security payroll taxes due from the CARES Act date of enactment through December 31, 2020, and a potential 50% credit on qualified wages against employment taxes each quarter with any excess credits eligible for refunds.
The CARES Act permits net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs originating in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate refunds of previously paid income taxes. As a result of the CARES Act, the Company carried back approximately $345 million in NOLs generated in 2018 to prior taxable income years. In carrying back the 2018 loss to an earlier year, the Company is able to benefit the losses at a 35% tax rate rather than the current U.S. corporate tax rate of 21%. Accordingly, the Company recorded a discrete income tax benefit of $110 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. During July 2020, the Company received a cash refund for $106 million of the $110 million NOL carryback, plus interest of approximately $4 million, with the remainder of the NOL carryback expected to be received before December 31, 2021.
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 the Company's (benefit from) provision for income taxes and effective tax rates were $(104) million and 291.7%, $383 million and 174%, and $(1) million and 0.7%, respectively.  

The change in income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the prior year was primarily associated with the $110 million benefit from the carryback of U.S. Federal DTAs under the CARES Act described above. The change in income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the provision to record the valuation allowance against the Company’s DTAs. The change was also due to the change in the Company's legal structure subsequent to the Combination. Prior to the Combination, as a limited liability company, income taxes were only provided for the international subsidiaries as all domestic taxes flowed to the members. Subsequent to May 4, 2018, domestic income taxes were also provided for the Company's allocable share of income or losses from Amneal at the prevailing U.S. federal, state, and local corporate income tax rates.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal, and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under income tax audit for the 2018 tax year by IRS. Impax's federal tax filings for the 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 tax years are currently under audit and these are the only tax years open under the IRS statute of limitations for Impax. If there were adjustments to the attributes of Impax, they could impact the carryforward losses at the Company, which is the successor in interest to Impax. The Amneal partnership was audited for the tax year ended December 31, 2015 without any adjustments to taxable income. Income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three years in the U.S. The statute of limitations for the 2017 and 2018 tax years will, therefore, expire no earlier than 2021 and 2022, respectively. However, the Impax 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 tax years remain open to adjustment to the extent of the 2018 NOL carryback as described above. Neither the Company nor any of its other affiliates is currently under audit for state income tax.

Prior to the Combination, the provision was primarily due to certain limited liability company entity-level taxes and foreign taxes being recorded for Amneal prior to the Combination. Subsequent to May 4, 2018, federal income taxes were also provided related to the Company’s allocable share of income (losses) from Amneal at the prevailing U.S. federal, state, and local corporate income tax rates. No United States federal income taxes were incurred by the partnership prior to May 4, 2018.
The change in effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily due to the benefit to record the NOL carryback resulting from the CARES Act, and the provision to record the valuation allowance against the Company’s DTAs in 2019.

The change in effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to the provision to record the valuation allowance against the Company’s DTAs.

At December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $161 million of foreign net operating loss carry forwards.  These net operating loss carry forwards will partially expire, if unused, between 2023 and 2025.  At December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $215 million of federal and $164 million of state net operating loss carry forwards. The federal net operating losses are generally allowed to be carried forward indefinitely, and the majority of the state net operating losses will expire, if unused, between 2035 and 2040.  At December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $11 million of federal R&D credit carry forwards and $10 million of state R&D credit carry forwards.  The majority of the federal R&D credit carry forwards will expire if unused, between 2034 and 2040 and the majority of state credits can be carried forward indefinitely.

The Company's Indian subsidiaries are primarily export-oriented and in some cases are eligible for certain limited income tax holiday benefits granted by the government of India for export activities conducted within Special Economic Zones, or SEZs, for periods of up to 15 years. Amneal’s SEZ income tax holiday benefits are currently scheduled to expire in whole or in part during the years 2028 to 2030. Indian profits ineligible for SEZ benefits are subject to corporate income tax at the rate of 34.9%. In addition, all Indian profits, including those generated within SEZs, are subject to the Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT), at the rate of 21.5%.  The Company established a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in India due to its reliance on intercompany sales for U.S. distribution.  For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the effect of income tax holidays granted by the Indian government reduced the overall income tax provision and decreased net loss/increased net income by approximately $3 million, $4 million, and $2 million, respectively.
The Company accounts for income tax contingencies using the benefit recognition model. The Company will recognize a benefit if a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, based solely on the technical merits. The benefit is measured by determining the amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement, presuming that the tax position is examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, was $5 million, $6 million and $7 million, respectively, of which $5 million, $6 million and $7 million would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The Company currently does not believe that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease significantly over the next 12 months. Interest expense related to income taxes is included in provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Net interest (benefit) expense related to unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $(0.3) million and $0.4 million, respectively. Accrued interest expense as of December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 was $0.8 million, $1 million, and $0.6 million, respectively. Income tax penalties are included in provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Accrued tax penalties as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were immaterial.
A rollforward of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (in thousands):

In India, the income tax return for fiscal year ending March 31, 2018 is currently being reviewed by tax authorities as part of the normal procedures, and the Company is not expecting any material adjustments. In Switzerland, income tax returns for the periods ended December 31, 2018 are currently being reviewed by the Swiss tax authorities.  Amneal is not expecting any
material adjustments.  There are no other income tax returns in the process of examination, administrative appeal, or litigation. Income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of 3 years, 5 years, 2 years and 4 years after the tax year in India, Switzerland, United Kingdom and Ireland, respectively.
Applicable foreign taxes (including withholding taxes) have not been provided on the approximately $87 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as at December 31, 2020. These earnings have been and currently are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Quantification of additional taxes that may be payable on distribution is not practicable.
The Company continuously monitors government proposals to make changes to tax laws, including comprehensive tax reform in the United States and proposed legislation in certain foreign jurisdictions resulting from the adoption of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development policies. If legislative changes are enacted in other countries, any of these proposals may include increasing or decreasing existing statutory tax rates. A change in statutory tax rates in any country would result in the revaluation of Amneal’s deferred tax assets and liabilities related to that particular jurisdiction in the period in which the new tax law is enacted.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings (Loss) per Share Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock and Class B-1 Common Stock is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B-1 Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A Common Stock and Class B-1 Common Stock is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B-1 Common Stock outstanding during the period, adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.
The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock and Class B-1 Common Stock (in thousands, except per share amounts):

   Class A and Class B-1 diluted$0.61 $(2.74)$(0.16)
(1)During the year ended December 31, 2019, pursuant to the Company's certificate of incorporation, the Company converted all 12.3 million of its issued and outstanding shares of Class B-1 Common Stock to Class A Common Stock and such shares of Class B-1 Common Stock have been retired and may not be reissued by the Company. The weighted-average shares for the year ended December 31, 2020 do not include Class B-1 Common Stock.
The allocation of net income (loss) to the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B-1 Common Stock began following the closing of the Combination on May 4, 2018. Shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock do not share in the earnings or losses of the Company and, therefore, are not participating securities.  As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class B Common Stock under the two-class method has not been presented.  
The following table presents potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computations of diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock and Class B-1 Common Stock (in thousands).

(2)Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of Class A Common Stock for the year ended December 31, 2020 because the performance vesting conditions were not met.
(3)Shares of Class B Common Stock are considered potentially dilutive shares of Class A and Class B-1 Common Stock. Shares of Class B Common Stock have been excluded from the computations of diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A and Class B-1 Common Stock for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive under the if-converted method. As noted above, the weighted-average shares for the year ended December 31, 2020 do not include Class B-1 Common Stock.
(4)Excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share of Class A Common Stock and Class B-1 Common Stock for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive since there was a net loss attributable to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. As noted above, the weighted-average shares for the year ended December 31, 2020 do not include Class B-1 Common Stock.

On September 13, 2019, the FDA announced that ranitidine may potentially contain NDMA, which is classified as a probable human carcinogen.  As a precautionary measure, the Company immediately halted shipments of ranitidine-based products and began evaluation of its externally sourced ranitidine active pharmaceutical ingredient.  Based on the FDA’s November 1, 2019 statement summarizing their NDMA results to date for numerous ranitidine products on the market, the Company made the decision to conduct a voluntary recall of its ranitidine-based products.  
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a charge of $5 million to cost of goods sold in its Generics segment to write-down the net realizable value of its ranitidine-based product inventory to zero.

Leases Leases
The majority of the Company's operating and financing lease portfolio consists of corporate offices, manufacturing sites, warehouse space, research and development facilities, land, and manufacturing equipment. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 24 years (excluding international land easements ranging from 30 – 99 years).  Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $26 million, $26 million, and $18 million, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $1 million and $2 million, respectively, in impairment charges associated with operating lease right of use assets. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the impairment charges were associated with the closure of the Blue Bell, PA facility. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the impairment charges were primarily associated with the Company's Hauppauge, NY facility, because the Company’s forecasts did not support recoverability of the assets.  For further details, see Note 6.

As of December 31, 2019, $361 million and $59 million of goodwill was allocated to the Specialty and Generics segments, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2019 goodwill divested was associated with the sale of the Company's operations in the United Kingdom and Germany. For the year ended December 31, 2019 the adjustment to goodwill acquired was associated with the Combination. Refer to Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information about the Acquisitions, the Combination and the divestiture of the Company's operations in the United Kingdom and Germany.
Annual Goodwill Impairment Test
The Company performed a quantitative annual goodwill impairment test for each reporting unit on October 1, 2020, the measurement date. The analysis performed included estimating the fair value of each reporting unit using both the income and market approaches. Based on the results of the annual impairment test, the Company determined that the estimated fair values of the Generics, Specialty and AvKARE reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts as of the measurement date; therefore, the Company did not record an impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no indicators of goodwill impairment during the year ended December 31, 2020, including the period subsequent to the measurement date.
In performing the annual goodwill impairment test, the Company utilized long-term growth rates for its reporting units ranging from no growth to 1.0% and discount rates ranging from 8.5% to 13.0% in its estimation of fair value. As of December 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Generics reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value by approximately 102%, the estimated fair value of the Specialty reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value by approximately 37% and the estimated fair value of the AvKARE reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value by approximately 48%.  A 450-basis point increase in the assumed discount rates utilized in each test would not have resulted in a goodwill impairment charge in any of the Company's reporting units.
While management believes the assumptions used were reasonable and commensurate with the views of a market participant, changes in key assumptions for these reporting units, including increasing the discount rate, lowering forecasts for revenue and operating margin or lowering the long-term growth rate, could result in a future impairment.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a total of $37 million of intangible asset impairment charges, of which $34 million was recognized in cost of goods sold and $3 million was recognized in in-process research and development.  
The impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2020 were primarily related to six currently marketed products and four in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) products acquired in the Combination. For the currently marketed products, four products experienced significant price erosion during 2020, without an offsetting increase in customer demand, resulting in significantly lower than expected future cash flows and negative margins, one product had its contract terminated and one product's supply agreement ended under an early termination due to market conditions. The IPR&D charges were associated with four products, three of which experienced significant price erosion for the products, resulting in significantly lower than expected future cash flows, and the other of which was canceled due to the withdrawal of the Company's development partner.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized a total of $173 million of intangible asset impairment charges, of which $126 million was recognized in cost of goods sold and $47 million was recognized in in-process research and development.
The impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2019 were primarily related to thirteen products, six of which are currently marketed products and seven of which are IPR&D products, all acquired as part of the Combination. For five currently marketed products, the impairment charges were the result of significant price erosion during 2019, without an offsetting increase in customer demand, resulting in significantly lower than expected future cash flows. For the remaining currently marketed product, the impairment charge was the result of a strategic decision to discontinue the product. For one IPR&D product, the impairment charge was the result of increased competition at launch resulting in significantly lower than expected future cash flows. For one IPR&D product, the impairment charge was the result of a strategic decision to no longer pursue approval of the product. For the other five IPR&D products, the impairment charges were the result of expected significant price erosion for the products resulting in significantly lower than expected future cash flows.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On May 4, 2018 the Company entered into a senior credit agreement that provided a term loan ("Term Loan") with a principal amount of $2.7 billion and an asset backed revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility") under which loans and letters of credit up to a principal amount of $500 million are available (principal amount of up to $25 million is available for letters of credit) (collectively, the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities").
The Term Loan is repayable in equal quarterly installments at a rate of 1.00% of the original principal amount annually, with the balance payable at maturity on May 4, 2025. The Term Loan bears a variable annual interest rate, which is one-month LIBOR plus 3.5% at December 31, 2020. In October 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate lock agreement for a total notional amount of $1.3 billion to hedge part of the Company's interest rate exposure associated with the variability in future cash flows from changes in the one-month LIBOR associated with its Term Loan. For further details, refer to Note 20. Financial Instruments.
In accordance with the Term Loan, the Company was required to calculate the amount of excess cash flows based on its results for the year ended December 31, 2020. As a result, the Company expects to make a payment of $14 million in March 2021 to satisfy the excess cash flow requirements. At December 31, 2019, an excess cash flow payment was not required based on result for the year then ended. In addition, the Term Loan requires regular principal payments of $27 million and per year for the next four years and the balance payable at maturity on May 4, 2025.
The Revolving Credit Facility bears an annual interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.25% at December 31, 2020 and matures on May 4, 2023. The annual interest rate for the Revolving Credit Facility may be reduced or increased by 0.25% based on step-downs and step-ups determined by the average historical excess availability. At December 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $495 million of availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The proceeds from the Term Loan were used to finance, in part, the cost of the Combination and to pay off Amneal’s debt and substantially all of Impax’s debt at the close of the Combination. In connection with the refinancing of the Amneal and Impax debt, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $20 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The proceeds of any loans made under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities can be used for capital expenditures, acquisitions, working capital needs and other general purposes, subject to covenants as described below. The Company pays a commitment fee based on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate based on average historical excess availability, between 0.25% and 0.375% per annum. At December 31, 2020, the Revolving Credit Facility commitment fee rate was 0.375% per annum.
During March 2020, as a precautionary measure to mitigate the uncertainty surrounding overall market liquidity due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company borrowed $300 million on the Revolving Credit Facility. As the financial markets stabilized following a period of high volatility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company repaid all borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2020.
The Company incurred costs associated with the Term Loan due May 2025 of $38 million and the Revolving Credit Facility of $5 million, which have been capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the applicable debt agreement to interest expense using the effective interest method. The Term Loan has been recorded in the balance sheet net of issuance costs. Costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility have been recorded in other assets because there were no borrowings outstanding on the effective date of the Revolving Credit Facility. For each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility and historical Amneal debt was $6 million.
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, create liens on Amneal's and its subsidiaries' assets. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain certain negative covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict Amneal’s and its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional debt or guarantees, grant liens, make loans, acquisitions or other investments, dispose of assets, merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate, pay dividends or other payments on capital stock, make optional payments or modify certain debt instruments, modify certain organizational documents, enter into arrangements that restrict the ability to pay dividends or grant liens, or enter into or consummate transactions with affiliates. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a financial covenant whereby Amneal must maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if certain borrowing conditions are met. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain customary events of default, subject to certain exceptions. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities may be accelerated and the commitments may be terminated. At December 31, 2020, Amneal was in compliance with all covenants.
Acquisition Financing - Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement
On January 31, 2020, in connection with the Acquisitions, Rondo Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“Rondo Holdings”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rondo, entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement (“Rondo Credit Facility”) that provided a term loan ("Rondo Term Loan") with a principal amount of $180 million and a revolving credit facility (“Rondo Revolving Credit Facility”) which loans up to a principal amount of $30 million. The Rondo Term Loan is repayable in equal quarterly
installments at a rate of 5.0% of the original principal amount annually, with the balance payable at maturity on January 31, 2025. The Rondo Credit Facility bears a variable annual interest rate, which is one-month LIBOR plus 3.0% at December 31, 2020 and matures on January 31, 2025. The annual interest rate for borrowings under the Rondo Credit Facility may be reduced or increased by 0.25% based on step-downs and step-ups determined by the total net leverage ratio, as defined in that agreement.  At December 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Rondo Revolving Credit Facility.  
A commitment fee based on the average daily unused amount of the Rondo Credit Facility is assessed at a rate based on total net leverage ratio, between 0.25% and 0.50% per annum. At December 31, 2020, the Rondo Credit Facility commitment fee rate was 0.40% per annum.
Costs associated with the Rondo Term Loan of $3 million and the Rondo Credit Facility of $1 million have been capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the applicable debt instrument to interest expense using the effective interest method. The Rondo Term Loan has been recorded in the balance sheet net of issuance costs.  Costs associated with the Rondo Revolving Credit Facility have been recorded in other assets.  For the year ended December 31, 2020, amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the Rondo Credit Facility was less than $1 million.
The Rondo Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, create liens on the equity securities and assets of Rondo Holdings, Rondo, AvKARE, LLC and R&S.  The Rondo Credit Facility contains certain negative, affirmative and financial covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, transact in mergers and acquisitions, make certain investments and payments or engage in certain transactions with affiliates.  The Rondo Credit Facility also contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the obligations under the Rondo Credit Facility may be accelerated and/or the interest rate may be increased.  At December 31, 2020, Rondo was in compliance with all covenants.  The Company is not party to the Rondo Credit Facility and is not a guarantor of any debt incurred thereunder.
The Rondo Term Loan requires principal payments of $9 million per year for the next four years and the balance payable at maturity on January 31, 2025.
Acquisition Financing – Notes Payable-Related Party
On January 31, 2020, the closing date of the Acquisitions, Rondo or its subsidiary, Rondo Top Holdings, LLC, issued the Sellers Notes with a stated aggregate principal amount of $44 million and the Short-Term Sellers Note with a stated principal amount of $1 million.  The Sellers Notes are unsecured and accrue interest at a rate of 5% per annum, not compounded, until June 30, 2025.  The Sellers Notes are subject to prepayment at the option of Rondo, as the obligor, without premium or penalty. Mandatory payment of the outstanding principal and interest is due on June 30, 2025 if certain financial targets are achieved, the borrowers’ cash flows are sufficient (as defined in the Sellers Notes) and repayment is not prohibited by senior debt.   If repayment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Sellers Notes is not made on June 30, 2025, the requirements for repayment are revisited on June 30 of each subsequent year until all principal and accrued interest are satisfied no later than January 31, 2030 or earlier, upon a change in control.  The Short-Term Sellers Note is also unsecured and accrues interest at a rate of 1.6% and was paid during February 2021.
In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, all consideration transferred was measured at its acquisition-date fair value.  The Sellers Notes were stated at the fair value estimate of $35 million, which was estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation approach under the option pricing framework.  The Short-Term Sellers Note of $1 million was recorded at the stated principal amount of $1 million, which approximates fair value.  The $9 million discount on the Sellers Notes will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method from January 31, 2020 to June 30, 2025 and the carrying value of the Sellers Notes will accrete to the stated principal amount of $44 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, amortization of the discount related to the Sellers Notes was $1 million.
The Company is not party to or a guarantor of the Sellers Notes or Short-Term Sellers Notes. The Sellers Notes and the Short-Term Sellers Note are recorded in notes payable-related party within long-term liabilities and notes payable-related party within current liabilities, respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. To measure fair value, the Company uses the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  
Level 2 –Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
  
Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques and also includes instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level of classification for each reporting period. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

(1)The fair value measurement of the Company’s interest rate swap classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy is a model-derived valuation as of a given date in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets including certain financial information and certain assumptions regarding past, present, and future market conditions. Refer to Note 20. Financial Instruments for information about the Company’s interest rate swap.
(2)As of December 31, 2020, deferred compensation plan liabilities of $2 million and $12 million were recorded in current and non-current liabilities, respectively.  As of December 31, 2019, deferred compensation plan liabilities of $4 million and $14 million were recorded in current and non-current liabilities, respectively. These liabilities are recorded at the value of the amount owed to the plan participants, with changes in value recognized as compensation expense. The calculation of the deferred compensation plan obligation is derived from observable market data by reference to hypothetical investments selected by the participants.
There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The $2.6 billion Term Loan, falls into the Level 2 category within the fair value level hierarchy. The fair value was determined using market data for valuation. The fair value of the Term Loan at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was approximately $2.6 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively.
The $173 million Rondo Term Loan, entered into on January 31, 2020, falls into the Level 2 category within the fair value level hierarchy. The fair value of the Rondo Term Loan at December 31, 2020 was approximately $172 million.
The Sellers Notes and the Short-Term Sellers Note fall into the Level 2 category within the fair value level hierarchy. At December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Sellers Notes and the Short-Term Sellers Note of $36 million and $1 million, respectively, approximate their fair values.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
There were no non-recurring fair value measurements during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Financial Instruments Financial Instruments
The Company uses an interest rate swap to manage its exposure to market risks for changes in interest rates.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its debt obligations.  Interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents may fluctuate as interest rates change; however, due to their relatively short maturities, the Company does not hedge these assets or their investment cash flows and the impact of interest rate risk is not material. The Company's debt obligations consist of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt instruments (for further details, see Note 17. Debt).  The Company's primary objective is to achieve the lowest overall cost of funding while managing the variability in cash outflows within an acceptable range.  In order to achieve this objective, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap on the Term Loan.
Interest Rate Derivative – Cash Flow Hedge
The interest rate swap involves the periodic exchange of payments without the exchange of underlying principal or notional amounts.  In October 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate lock agreement for a total notional amount of $1.3 billion to hedge part of the Company's interest rate exposure associated with the variability in future cash flows from changes in the one-month LIBOR associated with its Term Loan.
As of December 31, 2020, the total loss, net of income taxes, related to the Company’s cash flow hedge was $54 million, of which $27 million was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss and $27 million was recognized in non-controlling interests. As of December 31, 2019, the total income, net of income taxes, recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, related to the Company's cash flow hedge was $16 million.

Accordingly, the Company, in certain instances, may be contractually obligated to make potential future development, regulatory, and commercial milestone, royalty and/or profit sharing payments in conjunction with collaborative agreements or acquisitions that the Company has entered into with third parties. The Company has also licensed certain technologies or intellectual property from various third parties. The Company is generally required to make upfront payments as well as other payments upon successful completion of regulatory or sales milestones. The agreements generally permit the Company to terminate the agreement with no significant continuing obligation. The Company could be required to make significant payments pursuant to these arrangements. These payments are contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events and, given the nature of these events, it is unclear when, if ever, the Company may be required to pay such amounts. Further, the timing of any future payment is not reasonably estimable. Certain of these arrangements are with related parties (refer to Note 24. Related Party Transactions).
Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company's legal proceedings are complex, constantly evolving and subject to uncertainty. As such, the Company cannot predict the outcome or impact of the legal proceedings set forth below. Additionally, the Company is subject to legal
proceedings that are not set forth below. While the Company believes it has valid claims and/or defenses to the matters described below, the nature of litigation is unpredictable, and the outcome of the following proceedings could include damages, fines, penalties and injunctive or administrative remedies. For any proceedings where losses are probable and reasonably capable of estimation, the Company accrues for a potential loss. When the Company has a probable loss for which a reasonable estimate of the liability is a range of losses and no amount within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company records the loss at the low end of the range. While these accruals have been deemed reasonable by the Company’s management, the assessment process relies heavily on estimates and assumptions that may ultimately prove inaccurate or incomplete. Additionally, unforeseen circumstances or events may lead the Company to subsequently change its estimates and assumptions. Unless otherwise indicated below, the Company is unable at this time to estimate the possible loss or the range of loss, if any, associated with such legal proceedings and claims.
The Company currently intends to vigorously prosecute and/or defend these proceedings as appropriate. From time to time, however, the Company may settle or otherwise resolve these matters on terms and conditions that it believes to be in its best interest. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded net charges of $6 million and $12 million, respectively, for commercial legal proceedings and claims.   The Company had total liabilities for legal proceedings and claims of $11 million and $17 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The ultimate resolution of any or all claims, legal proceedings or investigations could differ materially from our estimate and have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and/or cash flows in any given accounting period, or on the Company's overall financial condition.  
Additionally, the Company manufactures and derives a portion of its revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products in the opioid class of drugs and may therefore face claims arising from the regulation and/or consumption of such products.
Although the outcome and costs of the asserted and unasserted claims is difficult to predict, based on the information presently known to management, the Company does not currently expect the ultimate liability, if any, for such matters to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Medicaid Reimbursement and Price Reporting Matters
The Company is required to provide pricing information to state agencies, including agencies that administer federal Medicaid programs. Certain state agencies have alleged that manufacturers have reported improper pricing information, which allegedly caused them to overpay reimbursement costs.  Other agencies have alleged that manufacturers have failed to timely file required reports concerning pricing information.  Reserves are periodically established by the Company for any potential claims or settlements of overpayment. The Company intends to vigorously defend against any such claims.  The ultimate settlement of any potential liability for such claims may be higher or lower than estimated.
Patent Litigation
There is substantial litigation in the pharmaceutical, biological, and biotechnology industries with respect to the manufacture, use, and sale of new products which are the subject of conflicting patent and intellectual property claims. One or more patents often cover the brand name products for which the Company is developing generic versions and the Company typically has patent rights covering the Company’s branded products.
Under federal law, when a drug developer files an Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") for a generic drug seeking approval before expiration of a patent which has been listed with the FDA as covering the brand name product, the developer must certify its product will not infringe the listed patent(s) and/or the listed patent is invalid or unenforceable (commonly referred to as a "Paragraph IV" certification). Notices of such certification must be provided to the patent holder, who may file a suit for patent infringement within 45 days of the patent holder’s receipt of such notice. If the patent holder files suit within the 45-day period, the FDA can review and tentatively approve the ANDA, but generally is prevented from granting final marketing approval of the product until a final judgment in the action has been rendered in favor of the generic drug developer, or 30 months from the date the notice was received, whichever is sooner. The Company’s Generics segment is typically subject to patent infringement litigation brought by branded pharmaceutical manufacturers in connection with the Company’s Paragraph IV certifications seeking an order delaying the approval of the Company’s ANDA until expiration of the patent(s) at issue in the litigation. Likewise, the Company’s Specialty segment is currently involved in patent infringement litigation against generic drug manufacturers that have filed Paragraph IV certifications to market their generic drugs prior to expiration of the Company’s patents at issue in the litigation.
The uncertainties inherent in patent litigation make the outcome of such litigation difficult to predict. For the Company’s Generics segment, the potential consequences in the event of an unfavorable outcome in such litigation include delaying launch
of its generic products until patent expiration. If the Company were to launch its generic product prior to successful resolution of a patent litigation, the Company could be liable for potential damages measured by the profits lost by the branded product manufacturer rather than the profits earned by the Company if it is found to infringe a valid, enforceable patent, or enhanced treble damages in cases of willful infringement. For the Company’s Specialty segment, an unfavorable outcome may significantly accelerate generic competition ahead of expiration of the patents covering the Company’s branded products. All such litigation typically involves significant expense.
The Company is generally responsible for all of the patent litigation fees and costs associated with current and future products not covered by its alliance and collaboration agreements. The Company has agreed to share legal expenses with respect to third-party and Company products under the terms of certain of the alliance and collaboration agreements. The Company records the costs of patent litigation as expense in the period when incurred for products it has developed, as well as for products which are the subject of an alliance or collaboration agreement with a third-party.
Patent Defense Matter

Biogen International GMBH, et al. v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, et al. (Dimethyl Fumarate)

In June 2017, Biogen International GMBH (“Biogen”) filed suit against Amneal and various other generic manufacturers in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (“D. Del.”) alleging patent infringement based on the filing of ANDAs by Amneal and others for generic alternatives to Biogen’s Tecfidera® (dimethyl fumarate) capsules product (Biogen International GMBH, et al. v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, et al., No. 1:17-cv-00823-MN). Biogen also filed suit in June 2017 against Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Mylan”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia (“N.D. W. Va.”) relating to Mylan’s own ANDA for Tecfidera®. On June 18, 2020, the N.D. W. Va. court issued an order finding the sole Biogen patent at issue invalid. Biogen has appealed the order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On September 22, 2020, the D. Del. court entered judgment in favor of defendants (including Amneal), adopting the finding of invalidity made by the N.D. W. Va. court but ordering that claims could be reinstated based on the result of the appeal of the N.D. W. Va. court’s order. Amneal, like Mylan and a number of other generic manufacturers, has now launched its generic dimethyl fumarate capsules product “at-risk,” pending the outcome of Biogen’s appeal of the N.D. W. Va. court’s order before the Federal Circuit.
Patent Infringement Matter
Impax Laboratories, LLC. v. Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Cadila Healthcare Ltd. (Rytary ®)
On December 21, 2017, Impax filed suit against Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Cadila Healthcare Ltd. (collectively, "Zydus") in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 9,089,608, based on the filing of Zydus’s ANDA relating to carbidopa and levodopa extended release capsules, generic to Rytary®. Zydus answered the complaint on April 27, 2018, asserting counterclaims of non-infringement and invalidity of U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,094,427; 8,377,474; 8,454,998; 8,557,283; and 9,089,607. Impax answered Zydus’s counterclaims on June 1, 2018. Zydus filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings regarding its counterclaims. On November 29, 2018, the Court granted Zydus’s motion for judgment as to its counterclaims. A case schedule had been set with trial anticipated in April 2020, which was postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The parties thereafter reached a settlement agreement on or about May 15, 2020, and the case has been dismissed.
Other Litigation Related to the Company’s Business

Opana ER® FTC Matters

On February 25, 2014, Impax received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) concerning its investigation into the drug Opana® ER and its generic equivalents. On March 30, 2016, the FTC filed a complaint against Impax, Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Endo"), and others in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleging that Impax and Endo violated antitrust laws when they entered into a June 2010 settlement agreement that resolved patent litigation in connection with the submission of Impax’s ANDA for generic original Opana® ER. In October, 2016, the Court granted Impax’s motion to sever, formally terminating the suit against Impax. In January 2017, the FTC filed a Part 3 Administrative Complaint against Impax with similar allegations regarding the 2010 settlement. Following trial, in May 2018, the Administrative Law Judge ruled in favor of Impax and dismissed the Complaint in its entirety. In March 2019, the FTC issued an Opinion & Order reversing the Administrative Law Judge’s decision, and in June 2019, Impax filed a Petition for Review of the FTC’s Opinion & Order with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. That Petition remains pending.
On July 12, 2019, the Company received a CID from the FTC concerning an August 2017 settlement agreement between Impax and Endo, which resolved a subsequent patent infringement and breach of contract dispute between the parties regarding the above-referenced June 2010 settlement agreement related to Opana® ER. The Company cooperated with the FTC regarding the CID. On January 25, 2021, the FTC filed a complaint against Endo, Impax and Amneal in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that the 2017 settlement violated antitrust laws. Impax and Amneal believe that they have strong defenses to the FTC’s allegations and intend to vigorously defend the action.
Opana ER® Antitrust Litigation

From June 2014 to April 2015, a number of complaints styled as class actions on behalf of direct purchasers and indirect purchasers (or end-payors) and several separate individual complaints on behalf of certain direct purchasers (the “opt-out plaintiffs”) of Opana ER® were filed against Endo and Impax.

The direct purchaser plaintiffs comprise Value Drug Company and Meijer Inc. The end-payor plaintiffs comprise the Fraternal Order of Police, Miami Lodge 20, Insurance Trust Fund; Wisconsin Masons’ Health Care Fund; Massachusetts Bricklayers; Pennsylvania Employees Benefit Trust Fund; International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 138 Welfare Fund; Louisiana Health Service & Indemnity Company d/b/a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana; Kim Mahaffay; and Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 178 Health & Welfare Trust Fund. The opt-out plaintiffs comprise Walgreen Co.; The Kroger Co.; Safeway, Inc.; HEB Grocery Company L.P.; Albertson’s LLC; Rite Aid Corporation; Rite Aid Hdqtrs. Corp.; and CVS Pharmacy, Inc.

In December, 2014, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the "JPML") transferred the actions to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (“N.D. Ill.”) for coordinated pretrial proceedings, as In Re: Opana ER Antitrust Litigation (MDL No. 2580).

In each case, the complaints allege that Endo engaged in an anticompetitive scheme by, among other things, entering into an anticompetitive settlement agreement with Impax to delay generic competition of Opana ER® and in violation of state and federal antitrust laws. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified monetary damages and equitable relief, including disgorgement and restitution. On March 25, 2019, plaintiffs filed motions for class certification and served opening expert reports. Defendants’ oppositions to class certification and rebuttal expert reports were filed and served on August 29, 2019. On November 5, 2019, plaintiffs filed reply briefs in further support of their motions for class certification. On January 17, 2020, defendants filed a motion for leave to file joint surreply briefs in response thereto; plaintiffs filed responses on January 24, 2020. On February 5, 2020, the court granted defendants’ motion for leave, and entered a case schedule to which the parties jointly stipulated, setting a trial date of March 15, 2021, which the multi-district litigation ("MDL") court later re-set for June 7, 2021 in light of COVID-19 pandemic-related delays. On April 15, 2020, defendants filed motions for summary judgment. On August 19, 2020, the MDL court issued a minute entry indicating that it was taking the motions under consideration and would advise the parties if oral argument was needed.

The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the claims asserted with respect to the litigation. However, any adverse outcome could negatively affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and/or overall financial condition.
Sergeants Benevolent Association Health & Welfare Fund v. Actavis, PLC, et. al.
In August 2015, a complaint styled as a class action was filed against Forest Laboratories (a subsidiary of Actavis plc) and numerous generic drug manufacturers, including Amneal, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York involving patent litigation settlement agreements between Forest Laboratories and the generic drug manufacturers concerning generic versions of Forest’s Namenda IR product. The complaint (as amended on February 12, 2016) asserts federal and state antitrust claims on behalf of indirect purchasers, who allege in relevant part that during the class period they indirectly purchased Namenda® IR or its generic equivalents in various states at higher prices than they would have absent the defendants’ allegedly unlawful anticompetitive conduct. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified monetary damages and equitable relief, including disgorgement and restitution. On September 13, 2016, the Court stayed the indirect purchaser plaintiffs’ claims pending factual development or resolution of claims brought in a separate, related complaint by direct purchasers (in which the Company is not a defendant). On September 10, 2018, the Court lifted the stay, referred the case to the assigned Magistrate Judge for supervision of supplemental, non-duplicative discovery in advance of mediation to be scheduled in 2019. The parties thereafter participated in supplemental discovery, as well as supplemental motion-to-dismiss briefing. On December 26, 2018, the Court granted in part and denied in part motions to dismiss the indirect purchaser plaintiffs’ claims. On January 7, 2019, Amneal, its relevant co-defendants, and the indirect purchaser plaintiffs informed the Magistrate Judge that they had agreed to mediation, which occurred in April 2019. In June 2019, the Company reached a settlement with plaintiffs,
subject to Court approval.  On September 10, 2019, the Court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement and indefinitely staying the case as to the settling defendants (including the Company).  The amount of the settlement was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Attorney General of the State of Connecticut Interrogatories and Subpoena Duces Tecum

On July 14, 2014, Impax received a subpoena from the State of Connecticut Attorney General ("Connecticut AG") concerning its investigation into sales of Impax's generic product, digoxin. According to the Connecticut AG, the investigation concerned whether anyone engaged in a contract, combination or conspiracy in restraint of trade or commerce which had the effect of (i) fixing, controlling or maintaining prices or (ii) allocating or dividing customers or territories relating to the sale of digoxin. Impax cooperated in the investigation and produced documents and information in response to the Subpoena in 2014 and 2015. However, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of this investigation.

United States Department of Justice Investigations

On November 6, 2014, Impax disclosed that one of its sales representatives received a grand jury subpoena from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the "DOJ"). On March 13, 2015, Impax received a grand jury subpoena from the DOJ requesting the production of information and documents regarding the sales, marketing, and pricing of four generic prescription medications. Impax has cooperated in the investigation and produced documents and information in response to the subpoenas from 2014 to 2016. However, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of the investigation.

On April 30, 2018, Impax received a CID from the Civil Division of the DOJ (the "Civil Division"). The CID requests the production of information and documents regarding the pricing and sale of Impax’s pharmaceuticals and interactions with other generic pharmaceutical manufacturers regarding whether generic pharmaceutical manufacturers engaged in market allocation and price-fixing agreements, paid illegal remuneration, and caused false claims to be submitted to the Federal government. Impax has cooperated with the Civil Division’s investigation. However, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of the investigation.
Texas State Attorney General Civil Investigative Demand
On May 27, 2014, a CID was served on Amneal by the Office of the Attorney General for the state of Texas (the "Texas AG") relating to products distributed by Amneal under a specific Amneal labeler code. Shortly thereafter, Amneal received a second CID with respect to the same products sold by Interpharm Holding, Inc. ("Interpharm"), the assets of which had been acquired by Amneal in June 2008. Amneal completed its production of the direct and indirect sales transaction data in connection with the products at issue and provided this information to the Texas AG in November 2015. In May 2016, the Texas AG delivered two settlement demands to Amneal in connection with alleged overpayments made by the State of Texas for such products under its Medicaid programs. For the Amneal and Interpharm products at issue, the Texas AG’s initial demand was for an aggregate total of $36 million based on $16 million in alleged overpayments. After analyzing the Texas AG’s demand, Amneal raised certain questions regarding the methodology used in the Texas AG’s overpayment calculations, including the fact that the calculations treated all pharmacy claims after 2012 for the products at issue as claims for over-the-counter ("OTC") drugs, even though the products were prescription pharmaceuticals. This had the effect of increasing the alleged overpayment because the dispensing fee for OTC drugs was lower than that for prescription drugs. Therefore, the Texas AG’s calculations were derived by subtracting a lower (and incorrect) OTC dispensing fee from the higher (and correct) prescription dispensing fee. The Texas AG later acknowledged this discrepancy. In March 2019, the Texas AG provided Amneal with a re-calculation of the alleged overpayment. In October 2019, Amneal reached an agreement in principle with the Texas AG to settle the matter. The parties executed a Settlement Agreement and Release as of March 5, 2020, and the matter is now closed.
In Re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation
Since March 2016, multiple putative antitrust class action complaints have been filed on behalf of direct purchasers, indirect purchasers (or end-payors), and indirect resellers, as well as individual complaints on behalf of certain direct and indirect purchasers, and municipalities (the “opt-out plaintiffs”) against manufacturers of generic drugs, including Impax and the Company. The complaints allege a conspiracy to fix, maintain, stabilize, and/or raise prices, rig bids, and allocate markets or customers for various generic drugs in violation of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and equitable relief, including disgorgement and restitution. The lawsuits have been consolidated in an MDL in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation, No. 2724, (E.D. Pa.)).
On May 10, 2019, Attorneys General of 43 States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut against various manufacturers and individuals, including the Company, alleging a conspiracy to fix, maintain, stabilize, and/or raise prices, rig bids, and allocate markets or customers for multiple generic drugs. On November 1, 2019, the State Attorneys General filed an Amended Complaint on behalf of 9 additional states and territories. On June 10, 2020, Attorneys General of 46 States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Territory of Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia filed a new complaint against various manufacturers and individuals, including the Company, alleging a conspiracy to fix prices, rig bids, and allocate markets or customers for additional generic drugs. Plaintiff States seek unspecified monetary damages and penalties and equitable relief, including disgorgement and restitution. These lawsuits have been incorporated into MDL No. 2724.
Fact and document discovery in MDL No. 2724 are proceeding. In July, 2020, the Court ordered certain plaintiffs’ complaints regarding three generic drug products to proceed as bellwether cases, along with the Plaintiff States’ amended complaint. No scheduling order has yet been issued for this matter.
The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the claims asserted with respect to the litigation. However, any adverse outcome could negatively affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and/or overall financial condition.
Prescription Opioid Litigation
The Company and certain of its affiliates have been named as defendants in various matters filed in state and federal courts relating to the sale of prescription opioid pain relievers. Plaintiffs in these actions include state Attorneys General, county and municipal governments, hospitals, Indian tribes, pension funds, third-party payors and individuals. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other forms of relief based on various causes of action, including negligence, public nuisance, unjust enrichment, and civil conspiracy, as well as alleged violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), state and federal controlled substances laws and other statutes. All cases involving the Company also name other manufacturers, distributors and retail pharmacies as defendants, and. there are numerous other cases involving allegations relating to prescription opioid pain relievers against other manufacturers, distributors and retail pharmacies in which the Company and its affiliates are not named.

Nearly all cases pending in federal district courts have been consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a MDL in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (In re: National Prescription Opiate Litigation, Case No. 17-mdl-2804). As of December 31, 2020, there were approximately 850 cases in the MDL in which the Company or its affiliates have been named as defendants. The Company also is named in approximately 120 state court cases pending in 11 states, including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, South Carolina, Utah, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The Company has filed motions to dismiss in many of these cases. No trial dates have been set except in New Mexico (tentatively September 2022) and West Virginia (tentatively November 2021); it is not known at this time if the Company will be involved in the West Virginia case trial.

The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses in these matters and intends to vigorously defend against the claims. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties of civil litigation, the Company is not in a position to predict the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or provide an estimate of the amount or range of potential loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome in any of these matters, and an adverse outcome could negatively affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and/or overall financial condition.
Securities Class Actions

On April 17, 2017, New York Hotel Trades Council & Hotel Association of New York City, Inc. Pension Fund filed an amended putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Impax and four former Impax officers alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 (Fleming v. Impax Laboratories Inc., et al., No. 4:16-cv-6557-HSG). Plaintiff alleges that Impax (1) concealed collusion with a competitor to fix the price of the generic drug digoxin; (2) concealed anticipated erosion in the price of generic drug diclofenac; and (3) overstated the value of the generic drug budesonide. In August 2019, the Court granted Impax’s motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s subsequent second amended complaint in its entirety. Plaintiff appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and on January 11, 2021 the Ninth Circuit issued an unpublished opinion affirming in part and reversing in part the District Court’s decision. Impax has filed a motion for rehearing with the Ninth Circuit.

On December 18, 2019, Cambridge Retirement System filed a putative class action complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Somerset County against the Company and certain current or former officers alleging violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2)
and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (Cambridge Retirement System v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., No. SOM-L-1701-19). Plaintiffs allege that the May 7, 2018 amended registration statement and prospectus issued in connection with the Amneal/Impax business combination was materially false and/or misleading because it failed to disclose that Amneal allegedly engaged in anticompetitive conduct to fix generic drug prices. Plaintiff filed a motion for class certification on October 30, 2020, and the motion is being briefed.
The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the claims asserted with respect to the litigation. However, any adverse outcome could negatively affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and/or overall financial condition.
Teva v. Impax Laboratories, LLC.
On February 15, 2017, plaintiffs Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Teva Pharmaceuticals Curacao N.V. ("Teva") filed a Praecipe to Issue Writ of Summons and Writ of Summons in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas against Impax alleging that Impax breached the Strategic Alliance Agreement between the parties by not indemnifying Teva in its two litigations with GlaxoSmithKline LLC regarding Wellbutrin ® XL (and therefore that Impax is liable to Teva for the amounts it paid to settle those litigations). Impax filed a Motion to Disqualify Teva’s counsel related to the matter, and on August 23, 2017, the trial court denied Impax's motion. Following the trial court’s order, Teva filed its complaint. On September 6, 2017, Impax appealed the trial court’s decision to the Pennsylvania Superior Court. On September 20, 2017, the Superior Court stayed the trial court action pending the outcome of Impax’s appeal. On November 2, 2018, the Superior Court affirmed the trial court’s decision. On November 16, 2018, Impax filed an application for reargument with the Superior Court, which was denied on December 28, 2018. On February 13, 2019, the Superior Court remitted the record to the trial court. On February 15, 2019, Impax filed its answer with new matter to Teva’s complaint. On February 19, 2019, the trial court issued a revised case management order providing that, absent any extensions or amendments thereto, discovery was to have closed on July 1, 2019 and the case is expected to be ready for trial by February 3, 2020. On or about March 4, 2019, Teva filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings. Impax filed its answer and brief in opposition to Teva’s motion for judgment on the pleadings on March 25, 2019. On April 4, 2019, the trial court denied Teva’s motion. On April 16, 2019, Impax filed a motion to stay the proceedings and compel Teva to arbitrate the dispute pursuant to an Indemnification Release Agreement negotiated and executed by the parties in 2012. Teva’s opposition to the motion was filed on May 7, 2019. On June 11, 2019, the trial court denied Impax’s motion. On June 24, 2019, Impax noticed its intent to appeal to the Superior Court the trial court’s denial of the motion to compel arbitration, and moved both to stay the trial court proceedings pending that appeal and for an extension of case management deadlines. On July 12, 2019, the trial court denied both motions.  On July 24, 2019, Impax moved the Superior Court to stay all trial court proceedings pending the outcome of Impax’s appeal of the trial court’s denial of the motion to compel arbitration and, on August 13, 2019, the Superior Court granted Impax’s motion.  Impax filed its opening appellate brief with the Superior Court on September 3, 2019 and Teva filed its response brief on October 3, 2019.  In October 2019, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the matter, and in November 2019, the parties executed a settlement agreement and general release.  On December 16, 2019, Teva filed with the trial court a praecipe to mark the action settled, discontinued and ended with prejudice.
California Wage and Hour Class Action
On August 3, 2017, plaintiff Emielou Williams filed a class action complaint in the Superior Court for the State of California in the County of Alameda on behalf of herself and others similarly situated against Impax alleging violation of California Business and Professions Code section 17200 by violating various California wage and hour laws, and seeking, among other things, declaratory judgment, restitution of allegedly unpaid wages, and disgorgement. On October 10, 2017, Impax filed a Demurrer and Motion to Strike Class Allegations. On December 12, 2017, the Court overruled Impax’s Demurrer to Plaintiff’s individual claims. However, it struck all of plaintiff’s class allegations. On March 13, 2018, plaintiff filed her First Amended Complaint once again including the same class allegations. The Company filed a Demurrer and Motion to Strike Class Allegations on April 12, 2018. On September 20, 2018, the Court again struck plaintiff’s class allegations; plaintiff has appealed this most recent order to the California State Court of Appeal. Plaintiff filed her opening appellate brief on February 22, 2019; Impax’s brief in response was filed on April 18, 2019; plaintiff filed her reply brief on May 7, 2019; and Impax filed a surreply on May 22, 2019. The appeal has now been fully submitted on the briefs.  On November 8, 2019, the Court of Appeal entered an order agreeing with Impax that the order from which plaintiff appealed was not appealable, and dismissing the appeal (and awarding Impax its costs on appeal). On December 31, 2019, Impax agreed to settle plaintiff’s individual claims for an immaterial amount and with no admission of liability, in exchange for a waiver of costs and an executed request for dismissal with prejudice. The request for dismissal was filed with the Superior Court on January 27, 2020, and the court has now dismissed the matter.
United States Department of Justice / Drug Enforcement Administration Subpoenas

On July 7, 2017, Amneal Pharmaceuticals of New York, LLC received an administrative subpoena issued by the Long Island, NY District Office of the Drug Enforcement Administration (the “DEA”) requesting information related to compliance with certain recordkeeping and reporting requirements. On or about April 12, 2019 and May 28, 2019, the Company received grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York (the "USAO”) relating to similar topics concerning the Company’s suspicious order monitoring program and its compliance with the Controlled Substances Act. The Company is cooperating with the USAO in responding to the subpoenas and has entered tolling agreements with the USAO through approximately May 12, 2021. It is not possible to determine the exact outcome of these investigations at this time.

On March 14, 2019, Amneal received a subpoena (the “Subpoena”) from an Assistant U.S. Attorney (“AUSA”) for the Southern District of Florida. The Subpoena requests information and documents generally related to the marketing, sale, and distribution of oxymorphone. The Company intends to cooperate with the AUSA regarding the Subpoena. However, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of its underlying investigation.

Ranitidine Litigation

The Company and its affiliates have been named as defendants, along with numerous other pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesale distributors, and retail pharmacy chains, in In re Zantac/Ranitidine NDMA Litigation (MDL No. 2924), pending in the Southern District of Florida. Plaintiffs allege that defendants failed to disclose and/or concealed the alleged inherent presence of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (or “NDMA”) in brand-name Zantac® or generic ranitidine and the alleged associated risk of cancer. Consolidated groups of (a) personal injury plaintiffs, (b) economic loss/medical monitoring class action plaintiffs, and (c) third-party payor plaintiffs have each filed master complaints against brand and generic pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and repackagers of ranitidine-containing products. The Company or its affiliates have been named in the three master complaints, and approximately 160 personal injury short form complaints. Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc., has been dismissed from the master complaints. On December 31, 2020, the Court dismissed in full the three master complaints against the generic manufacturers, including the Company and its affiliates, with leave to file amended complaints on certain claims relating to manufacturing, storage and transportation. Plaintiffs filed amended complaints on February 8 and February 22, 2021.

On November 12, 2020, Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC was named in a lawsuit filed in state court in Baltimore, Maryland, on behalf of the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, alleging claims of public nuisance, negligence, and violations of state consumer protection laws against brand and generic manufacturers and store-brand distributors of Zantac®/ranitidine. Plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as civil penalties and injunctive relief. Defendants removed the case to federal court, and on January 6, 2021, a conditional transfer order to the MDL was issued.

The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the claims asserted with respect to the litigation. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties of civil litigation, the Company is not in a position to predict the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or provide an estimate of the amount or range of potential loss in the event of an unfavorable outcome in any of these matters, and an adverse outcome could negatively affect the Company and have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and/or overall financial condition.

Metformin Litigation

Amneal and AvKARE, Inc. are named as defendants, along with numerous other manufacturers, retail pharmacies, and wholesalers, in several putative class action lawsuits pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“D.N.J.”), consolidated as In Re Metformin Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation (No. 2:20-cv-02324-MCA-MAH). The lawsuits all allege that defendants made and sold to putative class members generic metformin products that were “adulterated” or “contaminated” with NDMA.

An economic loss complaint filed on behalf of consumers and third-party payors who purchased or paid or made reimbursements for metformin, alleges that plaintiffs suffered economic losses in connection with their purchases or reimbursements due to the purported contamination. Medical monitoring class action complaints filed on behalf of consumers who consumed allegedly contaminated metformin allege “cellular damage, genetic harm, and/or are at an increased risk of developing cancer", and seek medical monitoring, including evaluation and treatment.

The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the claims asserted with respect to this matter. However, any adverse outcome could negatively affect the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and/or overall financial condition.
Xyrem® (sodium oxybate) Antitrust LitigationAmneal has been named as a defendant, along with Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Jazz”) and numerous other manufacturers of generic versions of Jazz’s Xyrem® (sodium oxybate), in several putative class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that the generic manufacturers entered into anticompetitive agreements with Jazz in connection with settling patent litigation related to Xyrem®. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and penalties as well as equitable relief, including disgorgement and restitution. On December 16, 2020, the JPML transferred the actions to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California for consolidated pretrial proceedings.

Equity [Abstract]  
Stockholders' Equity Stockholders' Equity
Members' Deficit Prior to the Combination
During 2018, the board of managers of Amneal approved a discretionary modification to the profit participation units to be concurrent with the Combination that caused the vesting of all PPUs that were previously issued to certain current or former employees for service prior to the Combination. The modification entitled the holders to 6.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair value of $126 million on the date of the Combination and $33 million of cash. In July 2018, Holdings distributed the shares it received in the Redemption to settle the PPUs with no additional shares issued by the Company. Additionally, during 2018, Holdings distributed $28 million of cash bonuses to employees of Amneal for service prior to the Combination. As a result of these transactions, the Company recorded charges aggregating $187 million to acquisition, integration and transaction-related expenses during the year ended December 31, 2018, and corresponding capital contributions of $159 million related to the vesting of the PPUs and $28 million related to the cash bonus in members' accumulated deficit.  For more details, see Note 7. Acquisition, Transaction-Related and Integration Expenses.  During the year ended December 31, 2018, Amneal made distributions of $183 million to its members.
Pursuant to the BCA, Amneal's units prior to the Combination were canceled and the Amneal Common Units were distributed as discussed in further detail in the paragraph below.
Stockholders' Equity Subsequent to the Combination
Amended Certificate of Incorporation
In connection with the closing of the Combination, on May 4, 2018, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation ("Charter") to, among other things, reflect the change of its name from Atlas Holdings, Inc. to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and provide for the authorization of (i) 900 million shares of Class A Common Stock with a par value of  $0.01 per share; (ii) 300 million  shares of Class B Common Stock with a par value of  $0.01 per share; (iii) 18 million  shares of Class B-1 Common Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share; and (iv) 2 million shares of undesignated preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, pursuant to the Company's certificate of incorporation, the Company converted all 12.3 million of its issued and outstanding shares of Class B-1 Common Stock to Class A Common Stock and such shares of Class B-1 Common Stock have been retired and may not be reissued by the Company.
Voting Rights
Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of stock held, except as required by law.  Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on each matter submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are not entitled to vote on any amendment to the Company's Charter that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote on such terms pursuant to the Company's Charter or law.
Dividend Rights
The holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, payable in cash, property, or securities of the Company, as may be declared by the Company's board of directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, subject to any preferential or other rights of the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. The holders of Class B Common Stock will not be entitled to receive any dividends.
Participation Rights
Under the Company's Charter, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have no participation rights. However, the Company's Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement dated as of December 31, 2017 (the "Stockholders Agreement") provides that if the Company proposes to issue any securities, other than in certain issuances, Holdings will have the right to purchase its pro rata share of such securities, based on the number of shares of common stock owned by Holdings before such issuance.
Issuance and Restrictions on Company Common Stock
Pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Amneal dated May 4, 2018 (the "Limited Liability Company Agreement"), Amneal will issue to the Company an additional Amneal common unit for each additional share of Class A Common Stock issued by the Company. Additionally, pursuant to the Charter, shares of Class B Common Stock will be issued to Holdings and its permitted transferees only to the extent necessary in certain circumstances to maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of Amneal Common Units and the number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by such members. Shares of Class B Common Stock are transferable only for no consideration to the Company for automatic retirement or in accordance with the Stockholders Agreement and the Limited Liability Company Agreement.
Liquidation Rights
On the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to share equally in all assets of the Company available for distribution among the stockholders of the Company after payment to all creditors and subject to any preferential or other rights of the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. The holders of Class B Common stock are not entitled to share in such net assets.
Redemption
The Limited Liability Company Agreement provides that holders of Amneal Common Units may, from time to time, require the Company to redeem all or a portion of their interests for newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. Upon receipt of a redemption request, the Company may, instead, elect to effect an exchange of Amneal Common Units directly with the holder. Additionally, the Company may elect to settle any such redemption or exchange in shares of Class A Common stock or in cash. In the event of a cash settlement, the Company would issue new shares of Class A Common Stock and use the proceeds from the sale of these newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock to fund the cash settlement, which, in effect, limits the amount of the cash payments to the redeeming member. In connection with any redemption, the Company will receive a corresponding number of Amneal Common Units, increasing the Company's total ownership interest in Amneal. Additionally, an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock will be surrendered and canceled.
Preferred Stock
Under the Charter, the Company's Board of Directors has the authority to issue preferred stock and set its rights and preferences. As of December 31, 2020, no preferred stock had been issued.
Common Stock Issued
In connection with the Combination, the Company issued 73.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock to the holders of Impax Common Stock and 225 million shares of Class B Common Stock to Holdings. In connection with the PIPE Investment, Holdings redeemed 46.8 million shares of Class B Common Stock and an equal number of Amneal Common Units for 34.5 million shares of unregistered Class A Common Stock and 12.3 million shares of unregistered Class B-1 Common Stock. In connection with the Redemption, Holdings redeemed an additional 6.9 million shares of Class B Common Stock and an equal number of Amneal Common Units for 6.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock for distribution to members of Holdings to whom PPUs were previously issued. No cash was received by the Company with respect to issuances of common stock. The Combination, the PIPE Investment and the Redemption are more fully described in Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Non-Controlling Interests
As discussed in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company consolidates the financial statements of Amneal and its subsidiaries and records non-controlling interests for the portion of Amneal’s economic interests that is not held
by the Company. Non-controlling interests are adjusted for capital transactions that impact the non-publicly held economic interests in Amneal.
Under the terms of the Limited Liability Company Agreement, Amneal is obligated to make tax distributions to its members. For the year ended December 31, 2020, a tax distribution of $3 million was recorded as a reduction of non-controlling interests (none in 2019). As of both December 31, 2020 and 2019, no liability was included in related-party payables for the tax distribution.
During September 2020, the Company made a $3 million payment to the non-controlling interest holders in one of Amneal's non-public subsidiaries to distribute earnings of $1 million and acquire their ownership interests in the non-public subsidiary for $2 million.
During December 2018, the Company acquired the non-controlling interests in one of Amneal's non-public subsidiaries for approximately $3 million. As of December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a $3 million related party payable for this transaction which was paid in full in 2019.
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
As discussed in Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures, the Company acquired a 65.1% interest in Rondo on January 31, 2020.  The sellers of AvKARE, LLC and R&S hold the remaining 34.9% interest as Rondo Class B Units.  Beginning on January 1, 2026, the holders of the Rondo Class B Units have the right (“Put Right”) to require the Company to acquire the Rondo Class B Units for a purchase price that is based on a multiple of Rondo’s earnings before income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) if certain financial targets and other conditions are met.  Additionally, beginning on January 31, 2020, the Company has the right to acquire the Rondo Class B Units based on the same value and conditions as the Put Right.  The Rondo Class B Units are also redeemable by the holders upon a change in control.
Since the redemption of the Rondo Class B Units is outside of the Company's control, the units have been presented outside of stockholders' equity as redeemable non-controlling interests. Upon closing of the Acquisitions on January 31, 2020, the redeemable non-controlling interests were recorded as a component of the fair value of consideration transferred at an estimated fair value of $11 million. The fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interests was estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation approach under the option pricing framework, which considers the redemption rights of both the Company and the holders of the Rondo Class B Units.

The Company will attribute 34.9% of the net income of Rondo to the redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company will also accrete the redeemable non-controlling interests to redemption value upon an event that makes redemption probable. For the year ended December 31, 2020, a tax distribution of $0.5 million was recorded as a reduction of redeemable non-controlling interests. As of December 31, 2020, there were no amounts due for tax distributions related to redeemable non-controlling interests.

Stock-Based Compensation Stock-Based Compensation
Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2018 Incentive Award Plan
In May 2018, the Company adopted the Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2018 Incentive Award Plan ("2018 Plan") under which the Company may grant stock options, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards to employees and non-employee directors providing services to the Company and its subsidiaries. The stock option, RSU and MPRSU award grants are made in accordance with the Company’s 2018 Plan and are subject to forfeiture if the vesting conditions are not met. On May 5, 2020, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2018 Plan which authorized an additional 14 million shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.
The aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the Company's 2018 Plan is 37 million shares. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 22,864,218 shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.
Exchanged Impax Options
As a result of the acquisition of Impax, on May 4, 2018, each Impax stock option outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Combination became fully vested and exchanged for a fully vested and exercisable option to purchase an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company with the same exercise price per share as the replaced options and otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions as the replaced options. Consequently, at the Closing, the Company issued 3.0 million fully vested stock options in exchange for the outstanding Impax options.
The Company recognizes the grant date fair value of each option and share of restricted stock unit over its vesting period. Stock options and restricted stock unit awards are granted under the Company’s 2018 Plan and generally vest over a four year period and, in the case of stock options, have a term of 10 years.

The table above includes 2,977,711 MPRSUs granted to executives during the first quarter of 2020. Vesting of these awards is contingent upon the Company’s achievement of stock price hurdles over the performance period starting March 1, 2020 and requires the employee’s continued employment or service through February 28, 2023. The MPRSUs cliff vest at the end of the three-year period and have a maximum potential to vest at 200% (5,955,422 shares) based on the Company's stock price 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 fair value per share of the MPRSUs ranged from $2.13 and $3.63 and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. 2,813,530 of these MPRSUs remain outstanding and unvested at December 31, 2020.

In addition, the table above includes 519,754 MPRSUs granted to executives on March 1, 2019. Vesting of these awards is contingent upon the Company meeting certain total shareholder return ("TSR") levels as compared to a select peer group over the three years starting January 1, 2019 and requires the employee’s continued employment or service through December 31, 2021. The MPRSUs cliff vest at the end of the three-year period and have a maximum potential to vest at 150% (779,631 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 fair value per share of the MPRSUs was $14.67 and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. 159,260 of these MPRSUs remained outstanding and unvested at December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $44 million related to all of its stock-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.
The Company estimated the fair value of each stock option award on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, wherein expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the publicly traded common stock of a peer group of companies. The expected term calculation is based on the "simplified" method described in SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment, and SAB No. 110, Share-Based Payment, as the result of the simplified method provides a reasonable estimate in comparison to actual experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield at the date of grant for an instrument with a maturity that is commensurate with the expected term of the stock options. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock, and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Options granted under each of the above plans generally vest over four years and have a term of 10 years. The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used in the option pricing model for options granted under the 2018 Plan in the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. There were no options granted in the year ended December 31, 2020.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2020
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Accounting Principles
Accounting Principles
The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation
Although the Company has a minority economic interest in Amneal, it is Amneal’s sole managing member, having the sole voting power to make all of Amneal’s business decisions and control its management. Therefore, the Company consolidates the financial statements of Amneal and its subsidiaries. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are a continuation of Amneal’s financial statements, with adjustments to equity to reflect the Combination, the PIPE Investment and non-controlling interests for the portion of Amneal’s economic interests that is not held by the Company. Prior to the closing of the Combination and PIPE Investment, the Company did not conduct any activities other than those incidental to the formation of it and Merger Sub and the matters contemplated by the BCA and had no operations and no material assets or liabilities. Results for the year ended December 31, 2018 include the impact of the Combination from May 4, 2018 to December 31, 2018.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported financial position at the date of the financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The following are some, but not all, of such estimates: the determination of chargebacks, sales returns, rebates, billbacks, valuation of intangible and other assets acquired in business combinations, allowances for accounts receivable, accrued liabilities, stock-based compensation, valuation of inventory balances, the determination of useful lives for product rights and the assessment of expected cash flows used in evaluating goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and associated ASUs (collectively "Topic 606"), which sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific sections of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed.
When assessing its revenue recognition, the Company performs the following five steps in accordance with Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of its products to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those products. For further details on the Company’s revenue recognition policies under Topic 606, refer to Note 4. Revenue Recognition.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s stock-based compensation consists of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and market performance-based restricted stock units (“MPRSUs”) awarded to employees and non-employee directors. Stock options are measured at their fair value on the grant date or date of modification, as applicable. RSUs, including MPRSUs, are measured at the stock price on the grant date or date of modification, as applicable. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service and/or performance period, as applicable. Forfeitures of awards are accounted for as a reduction in stock-based compensation expense in the period such awards are forfeited. The Company's policy is to issue new shares upon option exercises and the vesting of RSUs and MPRSUs.
Foreign Currencies
Foreign Currencies
The Company has operations in the U.S., India, Ireland, and other international jurisdictions.  The results of its non-U.S. dollar based operations are translated to U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Investment accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’/members’ deficit in the consolidated balance sheet and are included in the determination of comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of net income (loss) in the Company consolidated statements of operations as a component of foreign exchange gains and losses. Such foreign currency transaction gains and losses include fluctuations related to long term intercompany loans that are payable in the foreseeable future.
Business Combinations
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, the acquiring entity in a business combination records the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition at their fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets and other identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related costs, primarily professional fees, are expensed as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. A portion of the Company’s cash flows are derived outside the U.S. As a result, the Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company maintains cash balances at both U.S.-based and foreign-based commercial banks. At various times during the year, cash balances in the U.S. may exceed amounts that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Restricted Cash
Restricted Cash
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the Company had restricted cash balances of $6 million and $2 million in its bank accounts primarily related to the purchase of certain land and equipment.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company limits its credit risk with respect to accounts receivable by performing credit evaluations when deemed necessary. The Company does not require collateral to secure amounts owed to it by its customers.
Trade accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the best estimate of expected credit losses of the accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, current information, and forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company determines its allowance methodology by pooling receivable balances at the customer level. We consider various factors, including the Company’s previous loss history, individual credit risk associated to each customer, and the current and future condition of the general economy. These credit risk factors are monitored on a quarterly basis and updated as necessary. To the extent that any individual debtor is identified whose credit quality has deteriorated, the Company establishes allowances based on the individual risk characteristics of such customer. The Company makes concerted efforts to collect all outstanding balances due from customers; however, account balances are charged off against the allowance when management believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to customers.
Chargebacks Received From Manufacturers Chargebacks Received from ManufacturersWhen a sale occurs on a contracted item, the difference between the cost the Company pays to the manufacturer of that item and the contract price that the end customer has with the manufacturer is rebated to the Company by the manufacturer as a chargeback. Chargebacks are recorded as a reduction to cost of sales and either a reduction in the amount due to the manufacturer (if there is a right of offset) or as a receivable from the manufacturer.
Inventories
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods held for sale, raw materials, and work in process. Inventories are stated at net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method. Adjustments for excess and obsolete inventories are established based upon historical experience and management’s assessment of current product demand. These assessments include inventory obsolescence based on its expiration date, damaged or rejected product, and slow-moving products.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows:
Asset Classification Estimated Useful Life
Buildings 30 years
Computer equipment 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Leasehold improvements Shorter of asset's useful life or remaining life of lease
Machinery and equipment 
5 - 10 years
Vehicles 5 years
Upon retirement or disposal, the cost of the asset disposed and the accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is reflected as part of operating income (loss) in the period of disposal. Expenditures that significantly increase value or extend useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are capitalized, whereas those for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed. The Company capitalizes interest on borrowings during the construction period of major capital projects as part of the related asset and amortizes the capitalized interest into earnings over the related asset’s remaining useful life.
Leases
Leases
All significant lease arrangements are recognized as right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities at lease commencement. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments using the Company's incremental borrowing rate, which is assessed quarterly.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At each balance sheet date, operating and financing lease liabilities continue to represent the present value of the future payments. Financing lease ROU assets are expensed using the straight-line method, unless another basis is more representative of the pattern of economic benefit, to lease expense. Interest on financing lease liabilities is recognized in interest expense.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) are not recognized in the balance sheet and the related lease payments are recognized as incurred over the lease term. The Company separates lease and non-lease components. A portion of the Company's real estate leases are subject to periodic changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). The changes to the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred.
In-Process Research and Development
In-Process Research and Development
The fair value of in-process research and development ("IPR&D") acquired in a business combination is determined based on the present value of each research project’s projected cash flows using an income approach. Revenues are estimated based on
relevant market size and growth factors, expected industry trends, individual project life cycles and the life of each research project’s underlying marketability. In determining the fair value of each research project, expected cash flows are adjusted for certain risks of completion, including technical and regulatory risk.
The value attributable to IPR&D projects at the time of acquisition is capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and tested for impairment until the project is completed or abandoned. Upon completion of the project, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is then accounted for as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be consumed or otherwise used up or, if that pattern is not readily determinable, on a straight-line basis. If the project is abandoned, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is charged to expense.
Intangible assets with indefinite lives, including IPR&D, are tested for impairment if impairment indicators arise and, at a minimum, annually. However, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. The indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test consists of a one-step analysis that compares the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company considers many factors in evaluating whether the value of its intangible assets with indefinite lives may not be recoverable, including, but not limited to, expected growth rates, the cost of equity and debt capital, general economic conditions, the Company's outlook and market performance of the Company's industry and recent and forecasted financial performance.
Goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. The Company reviews goodwill for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
In order to test goodwill for impairment, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether a quantitative assessment of goodwill is necessary. The qualitative factors considered by the Company may include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, the Company’s outlook, market performance of the Company’s industry and recent and forecasted financial performance. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. If a quantitative assessment is required, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting unit using a combination of the income and market approaches.  If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company recognizes a goodwill impairment charge for the reporting unit equal to the lesser of (i) the total goodwill allocated to that reporting unit and (ii) the amount by which that reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. See Note 15. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for further discussion of the Company's quantitative assessment of goodwill.
Assumptions and estimates used in the evaluation of impairment may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets, which could result in impairment charges in future periods. Such assumptions include projections of future cash flows and the current fair value of the asset.
Amortization of Intangible Assets with Finite Lives
Intangible assets, other than indefinite-lived intangible assets, are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be consumed or otherwise used up or, if that pattern is not readily determinable, on a straight-line basis. The useful life is the period over which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Intangible assets are not written-off in the period of acquisition unless they become impaired during that period.
The Company regularly evaluates the remaining useful life of each intangible asset that is being amortized to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of the intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. See Note 15. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for further discussion of the Company's intangible assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Including Intangible Assets with Finite Lives)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Including Intangible Assets with Finite Lives)
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates assets for potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted net cash flows to the carrying amount of the asset. If the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, impairment is measured based on the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and fair value which is generally an expected present value cash flow technique. Management’s policy in determining whether an impairment indicator exists comprises measurable operating performance criteria as well as other qualitative measures. See Note 15. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for further discussion of the Company's assessment of intangible asset impairment.
Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments
The Company minimizes its risks from interest fluctuations through its normal operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage risk and are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. The Company does not use leveraged derivative financial instruments.  Derivative financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting must be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.
All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities and measured at fair value.  For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of the derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes and subsequently amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings, which is when the Company recognizes interest expense on the hedged cash flows.  Cash flows of such derivative financial instruments are classified consistent with the underlying hedged item.
Highly effective hedging relationships that use interest rate swaps as the hedging instrument and that meet criteria under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, may qualify for the “short-cut method” of assessing effectiveness.  The short-cut method allows the Company to make the assumption of no ineffectiveness, which means that the change in fair value of the hedged item can be assumed to be equal to the change in fair value of the derivative. Unless critical terms change, no further evaluation of effectiveness is performed for these hedging relationships unless a critical term is changed.
For a hedging relationship that does not qualify for the short-cut method, the Company measures its effectiveness using the “hypothetical derivative method”, in which the change in fair value of the hedged item must be measured separately from the change in fair value of the derivative.  At inception and quarterly thereafter, the Company formally assesses whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item.  The Company compares the change in the fair value of the actual interest rate derivative to the change in the fair value of a hypothetical interest rate derivative with critical terms that match the hedged interest rate payments.  After the initial quantitative assessment, this analysis is performed on a qualitative basis and, if it is determined that the hedging relationship was and continues to be highly effective, no further analysis is required.
All components of each derivative financial instrument's gain or loss are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and any deferred gains or losses related to a discontinued cash flow hedge shall continue to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) net of income taxes, unless it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur. If it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur by the originally specified time period, the Company discontinues hedge accounting, and any deferred gains or losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are classified into earnings immediately.
The Company is subject to credit risk as a result of nonperformance by counterparties to the derivative agreements.  Upon inception and quarterly thereafter, the Company makes judgments on each counterparty’s creditworthiness for nonperformance by counterparties.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of its assets and
liabilities by applying the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Such net tax effects on temporary differences are reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740-10 prescribes a two-step approach for the recognition and measurement of tax benefits associated with the positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. The Company has reviewed and will continue to review the conclusions reached regarding uncertain tax positions, which may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. To the extent that the Company’s assessment of the conclusions reached regarding uncertain tax positions changes as a result of the evaluation of new information, such change in estimate will be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. The Company reports income tax-related interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions, if applicable, as a component of income tax expense.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and all changes in stockholders’ equity (except those arising from transactions with stockholders) including foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from the consolidation of foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements and unrealized gains on cash flows hedges, net of income taxes.
Research and Development/Intellectual Property Legal Development Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development ("R&D") activities are expensed as incurred. R&D expenses primarily consist of direct and allocated expenses incurred with the process of formulation, clinical research, and validation associated with new product development. Upfront and milestone payments made to third parties in connection with R&D collaborations are expensed as incurred up to the point of regulatory approval or when there is no alternative future use.
Intellectual Property Legal Development Expenses
The Company expenses external intellectual property legal development expenses as incurred. These costs relate to legal challenges of innovator’s patents for invalidity or non-infringement, which are customary in the generic pharmaceutical industry, and are incurred predominately during development of a product and prior to regulatory approval. Associated costs include, but are not limited to, formulation assessments, patent challenge opinions and strategy, and litigation expenses to defend the intellectual property supporting the Company's regulatory filings.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modified the disclosure requirements on fair value measurement.  The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 effective January 1, 2020, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, guidance that changes the impairment model for most financial assets including trade receivables and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The standard replaced today’s "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost and requires entities to record allowances for available-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they did under the other-than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. Entities apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provided elective amendments for entities that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.  The amendments may be applied to impacted contracts and hedges prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
