Mallinckrodt plc (NYSE American: MNK) ('Mallinckrodt' or the 'Company'), a global specialty pharmaceutical company, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

'We are pleased to reaffirm our 2022 guidance following solid performance in the third quarter,' said Siggi Olafsson, President and Chief Executive Officer. 'We made important progress executing on our strategic initiatives, including advancing Mallinckrodt's branded pipeline, improving our balance sheet and strengthening the organization with key leadership appointments at the executive and board levels, adding deep commercial and human resources expertise. More recently, we received approval and commenced trading on NYSE American, providing enhanced liquidity and access for our shareholders.'

Mr. Olafsson continued, 'We are also excited to report that we recently launched Terlivaz (terlipressin) for injection, which in September became the first and only FDA-approved product indicated to improve kidney function in adults with hepatorenal syndrome. Looking ahead, I am confident we are well-positioned to continue advancing our strategic initiatives and create long-term value for shareholders while improving outcomes for patients with severe and critical conditions.'

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results1

Mallinckrodt's net sales in the third quarter 2022 were $465.4 million, as compared to $507.2 million in the third quarter 2021. This reflects a decrease of 8.2% on a reported basis and 7.5% on a constant currency basis.

The Company's Specialty Brands segment reported net sales of $303.5 million, as compared to $359.7 million. This reflects a decrease of 15.6% on a reported basis and 14.7% on a constant currency basis, primarily due to the impact of competition; utilization of certain products due to the continued impact of the pandemic and continued scrutiny on overall specialty pharmaceutical spending.

Mallinckrodt's Specialty Generics segment reported net sales of $161.9 million, as compared to $147.5 million. This reflects an increase of 9.8% on a reported basis and 9.9% on a constant currency basis, primarily due to growth in acetaminophen (APAP) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) products.

The Company recorded a net loss for the third quarter of $284.9 million, as compared to a net loss of $263.7 million. Diluted loss per share was $21.58 with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $5.25 for the third quarter.

Mallinckrodt's Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter was $166.1 million, as compared to $185.7 million. This reflects a decrease of 10.6%, primarily due to lower net sales; investments associated with the launches of StrataGraft (allogeneic cultured keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts in murine collagen - dsat) and Terlivaz and the impact from foreign currency, partially offset by other reductions in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses and research and development (R&D) expenses as a result of the Company's initiatives to improve its overall cost structure.

Mallinckrodt's cash balance at the end of the third quarter was $391.2 million, and the Company continues to maintain an undrawn $200 million accounts receivable financing facility, ending the quarter with approximately $590 million in liquidity. Total principal debt outstanding at the end of the third quarter was $3.584 billion, with net debt of $3.193 billion, which reflects certain repurchases of second lien notes due 2025 and 2029 at a discount.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release contains financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A, net sales growth on a constant-currency basis, and net debt, which are considered 'non-GAAP' financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income or loss prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ('GAAP') and adjusted for certain items that management believes are not reflective of the operational performance of the business. Adjustments to GAAP amounts include, as applicable to each measure, interest expense, net; income taxes; depreciation; amortization; restructuring charges, net; non-restructuring impairment charges; inventory step-up expense; discontinued operations; changes in fair value of contingent consideration obligations; significant legal and environmental charges; divestitures; separation costs; gains on debt extinguishment, net; unrealized gain or loss on equity investment; reorganization items, net; share-based compensation; fresh-start related expenses and other items identified by the Company.

Adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit and adjusted SG&A represent amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for certain items that management believes are not reflective of the operational performance of the business. The adjustments for these items are on a pre-tax basis for adjusted gross profit and adjusted SG&A and on an after-tax basis for adjusted net income. Adjustments to GAAP amounts include, as applicable to each measure, amortization and non-restructuring impairment charges; restructuring and related charges, net; inventory step-up expense; discontinued operations; changes in fair value of contingent consideration obligations; significant legal and environmental charges; divestitures; separation costs; gains on debt extinguishment, net; acquisition and fresh-start related expenses; unrealized gain or loss on equity investments; reorganization items, net; tax effects of the aforementioned adjustments, changes in uncertain tax positions, as well as tax impacts from certain transactions, such as acquisitions or legal entity or asset reorganizations and other items identified by the company. Adjusted diluted earnings per share represent adjusted net income divided by the number of diluted shares.

Segment net sales growth on a constant-currency basis measures the change in segment net sales between current- and prior-year periods using a constant currency, the exchange rate in effect during the applicable prior-year period.

Net debt as of September 30, 2022 represents the total principal debt outstanding of $3.584 billion, less cash of $391.2 million, each as prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company has provided these adjusted financial measures because they are used by management, along with financial measures in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate the Company's operating performance. In addition, the Company believes that they will be used by certain investors to measure Mallinckrodt's operating results. Management believes that presenting these adjusted measures provides useful information about the Company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance.

These adjusted measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's definition of these adjusted measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others.

Because adjusted financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company's reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety.

Further information regarding non-GAAP financial measures can be found on the Investor Relations page of the Company's website.

Predecessor and Successor Periods

Mallinckrodt's financial results for the year-to-date period ending September 30, 2022 include Successor and Predecessor periods. The Successor period runs from June 17, 2022 through September 30, 2022, while the Predecessor period includes January 1, 2022 through, and including, June 16, 2022. As a result of the application of fresh-start accounting, the Company's financial statements for periods prior to June 16, 2022 are not comparable to those for periods subsequent to June 16, 2022. Operating results for the Successor and Predecessor periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

Mallinckrodt's results of operations as reported in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the Successor and Predecessor periods are in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of the combined financial information of the Predecessor and Successor periods for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is not in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes that for purposes of discussion and analysis, the combined financial information is useful for management and investors to assess Mallinckrodt's ongoing financial and operational performance and trends.
