We are pleased to reaffirm our full year net sales guidance and again raise our Adjusted EBITDA guidance, even after adjusting for the Therakos transaction," said Siggi Olafsson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In Specialty Brands, Acthar Gel achieved its third consecutive quarter of growth from rising prescriber referrals and patient demand. We also made important progress on our recent launches, with positive momentum in our Acthar Gel SelfJect device and an expanded rollout of our INOmax EVOLVE DS delivery system to U.S. hospitals nationwide. In Specialty Generics, we delivered our seventh consecutive quarter of solid growth due to our ability to consistently and reliably deliver high-quality products, and we remain on track for another year of double-digit net sales growth in 2024." Mr. Olafsson added, "I am grateful to our teams for their continued commitment to Mallinckrodt, bringing our strategy to life and serving our patients. It is because of their efforts that we are positioned to finish 2024 on a strong note as we continue building on our momentum and advancing our strategic priorities." Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results1 Mallinckrodt's net sales in the third quarter of 2024 were $505.5 million, as compared to $497.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. This reflects an increase of 1.7% on a reported and constant currency basis. The Company's Specialty Brands segment reported net sales of $286.0 million, as compared to $286.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. This stability reflects growth in Acthar Gel, uptake in Acthar SelfJect and Terlivaz® and the continued growth of Therakos, slightly offset by continued competition in the U.S. for INOmax from alternative nitric oxide products. Mallinckrodt's Specialty Generics segment reported net sales of $219.5 million, as compared to $210.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. This 4.1% growth was driven by the Company's established track record as a reliable and consistent producer of high-quality products amidst ongoing market shortages due to quality and other disruptions, in both the finished-dosage products and Controlled Substance active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) businesses, partially offset by a decline in the Acetaminophen (APAP) business as a result of the overall softening of the market. The Company's net loss for the third quarter was $26.2 million, a 98.5% improvement as compared to a net loss of $1.7 billion in the third quarter of 2023. Mallinckrodt's Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter was $160.6 million, as compared to $180.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 11.1%. This decrease was primarily driven by approximately $7.3 million of transaction-related compensation expenses for the sale of Therakos, as well as incremental commercial investments for Acthar Gel and Terlivaz and the impact of nitric oxide competition in the U.S., partially offset by continued strength in the Specialty Generics segment, and growth in the Specialty Brands segment. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 43.7% for the third quarter, as compared to 30.3% for the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 65.4% for the third quarter, as compared to 66.3% for the third quarter of 2023. Mallinckrodt's cash balance at the end of the third quarter of 2024 was $410.5 million. Total outstanding principal debt was $1.64 billion, and outstanding net debt was $1.23 billion. Nine Month 2024 Results1 Mallinckrodt's net sales were $1.5 billion for the nine months ended September 27, 2024, as compared to $1.4 billion for the nine months ended September 29, 2023. This reflects an increase of 6.5%. The Company recorded a net loss of $134.9 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2024, as compared to $2.7 billion for the nine months ended September 29, 2023. Mallinckrodt's Adjusted EBITDA was $479.5 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2024, as compared to $448.1 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2023, an increase of 7.0%. Third Quarter 2024 Business Segment Update Specialty Brands Acthar Gel net sales were $126.4 million in the third quarter, an increase of 3.5% versus the prior year quarter and the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth for the brand, reflecting increasing prescriber referrals and patient demand. Additionally, the Company successfully launched SelfJect mid-quarter and has received enthusiastic physician and patient feedback. Given the brand's return to growth and positive momentum, the Company now expects full year 2024 Acthar Gel net sales to grow approximately 10%. Terlivaz net sales were $7.3 million, reflecting 65.9% year-over-year growth and 37.7% sequential growth in net sales. The Company continued to expand adoption in the third quarter through outreach to healthcare providers emphasizing the importance of early patient identification and treatment initiation. Mallinckrodt remains focused on establishing Terlivaz as the preferred first-line treatment for HRS patients with rapid reduction of kidney function. INOmax (nitric oxide) gas net sales in the third quarter were $64.0 million, down 12.2% compared to the prior year period, as it continued to be impacted by competitive pressures in the U.S. Following the successful introduction of the INOmax EVOLVE DS device pilot program earlier this year, the Company expanded the commercial rollout of EVOLVE to U.S. hospitals nationwide late in the third quarter. At quarter end, there were 100 devices in nearly a dozen hospitals across the U.S. The Company is focused on further expanding the rollout of EVOLVE to help meet the needs of neonatal intensive care patients and healthcare professionals by offering improved automation, which enhances safety features, and a streamlined design that elevates the user experience. Therakos net sales were $67.6 million in the third quarter, an increase of 2.4% on a reported basis and 2.2% on a constant currency basis. As previously announced, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Therakos business to CVC Capital Partners for $925 million, subject to customary adjustments. Mallinckrodt will use net proceeds from the transaction to pay down debt and expects this to reduce the Company's net debt by more than 60% following transaction close. Closing remains on track to occur in the coming weeks, subject to customary closing conditions. Specialty Generics The Specialty Generics segment reported year-over-year net sales growth of 4.1% in the third quarter of 2024. These results were driven by strong performance in finished-dosage products and increased demand for Controlled Substance APIs, slightly offset by softness in the APAP business stemming from excess supply in the broader market. Net sales in the Specialty Generics segment have grown for the past seven quarters, and its third quarter performance is particularly notable given the strong comparable quarter in 2023, which was driven by the launch of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate capsules (generic form of Vyvanse®). Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included in this release for a discussion of non-GAAP measures and reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the third quarter. Please see the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 27, 2024 to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for additional information. 2024 Financial Guidance Update Mallinckrodt today reaffirmed its net sales guidance and raised its Adjusted EBITDA guidance for full year 2024. The Company's updated guidance assumes that the Therakos transaction will close by the end of November and, accordingly, removes approximately $25 million in net sales and approximately $12 million in Adjusted EBITDA that were previously expected to be contributed by Therakos in the month of December. The updated Adjusted EBITDA guidance also reflects approximately $16 million of transaction-related compensation expenses for the sale of Therakos, for a total impact to the Company's full year Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $28 million. The Company's updated guidance is as follows: Mallinckrodt notes that for full year 2024 Therakos is expected to generate approximately $270 million in net sales and approximately $135 million in Adjusted EBITDA. The Company does not provide the comparable GAAP measures for its forward-looking non-GAAP guidance or a reconciliation of such measures because the reconciling items described in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA provided below are inherently uncertain and difficult to estimate and cannot be predicted without unreasonable effort. The variability of such items may have a significant impact on our future GAAP results.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This press release contains financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, adjusted research and development ("R&D") expenses, net sales growth (loss) 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 from intangible assets and right-of use asset resulting from finance leases; 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; liabilities management and separation costs; gains on debt extinguishment, net; unrealized gain or loss on equity investment; reorganization items, net; share-based compensation; fresh-start inventory related expenses; and other items identified by the Company. The Company has forecasted a full-year 2024 adjusted EBITDA for Therakos, consistent with the Company's calculation of the consolidated Company Adjusted EBITDA. As such, certain amounts that management considers to be non-recurring or non-operational are excluded from these measures because management and the chief operating decision maker evaluate the operating results of the excluding such items. These items may include, but are not limited to, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, net restructuring charges, non-restructuring impairment charges and liabilities management and separation costs. Also, Therakos Adjusted EBITDA excludes allocations of intercompany corporate overhead costs and fresh-start inventory related expenses and other items identified by the Company. Adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A expenses and adjusted R&D expenses represent amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP, 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, the aforementioned items in the Adjusted EBITDA paragraph. The adjustments for these items are on a pre-tax basis for adjusted gross profit and adjusted SG&A expenses. Segment net sales growth (loss) 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 of $1.2 billion as of September 27, 2024, reflects $1.6 billion in total debt outstanding on a GAAP basis less $410.5 million in cash and cash equivalents (unrestricted cash) on a GAAP basis. 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 and liquidity. In addition, the Company believes that they will be used by 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. A reconciliation of certain of these historical adjusted financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the tables accompanying this release. 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 presented in this press release include Successor and Predecessor periods. The Successor period runs for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024, while the Predecessor period is for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2023. We do not believe that reviewing the results of the Successor period in isolation would be useful in identifying trends in or reaching conclusions regarding our overall operating performance. Management believes that our key performance metrics such as net sales and segment results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024 (Successor) provide a meaningful comparison and are useful in identifying current business trends when compared to the three and nine months ended September 29, 2023 (Predecessor). 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 comparison of the Predecessor and Successor periods for the periods presented here is not in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes that the comparison is useful for management and investors to assess Mallinckrodt's ongoing financial and operational performance and trends.
