BUSINESS, PRESENTATION, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
BUSINESS, PRESENTATION, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	1. BUSINESS, PRESENTATION, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Overview ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (together, “ANI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a diversified bio-pharmaceutical company serving patients in need by developing, manufacturing, and marketing high quality branded and generic prescription pharmaceuticals, including for diseases with high unmet medical need. Our team is focused on delivering growth by building a successful Cortrophin Gel franchise, strengthening our generics business with enhanced development capability, innovation in established brands and leveraging our manufacturing capabilities. Our three pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, of which two are located in Baudette, Minnesota, and one is located in East Windsor, New Jersey, are together capable of producing oral solid dose products, as well as semi-solids, liquids and topicals, controlled substances, and potent products that must be manufactured in a fully-contained environment. On June 2, 2022, we announced that we intended to cease operations at our Oakville, Ontario, Canada manufacturing plant by the end of the first quarter 2023. This action was part of ongoing initiatives to capture operational synergies following our acquisition of Novitium Pharma LLC (“Novitium”) in November 2021. As of March 31, 2023, we have completed the transition of the products manufactured or packaged in Oakville to one of our three U.S.-based manufacturing sites. We are seeking to find potential buyers for the Oakville site. Our operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, current and potential competitors with greater resources, dependence on significant customers, and possible fluctuations in financial results. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The propriety of using the going-concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, the achievement of future profitable operations, the ability to generate sufficient cash from operations, and potential other funding sources, including cash on hand, to meet our obligations as they become due. We believe the going-concern basis is appropriate for the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our current operating plan and business strategy for the 12 months following the issuance of this report. On November 19, 2021, the Company, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank and other lenders, which provides for credit facilities consisting of (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate commitment amount of $40.0 million, which may be used for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit (the “Revolving Facility,” and together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facility”). Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We believe that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes previously distributed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). Principles of Consolidation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Foreign Currency We have ceased operations at a subsidiary in Oakville, Ontario, Canada as of March 31, 2023. We currently have a subsidiary located in India. The Canada-based subsidiary conducted its transactions in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars, but its functional currency was the U.S. dollar. The Indian-based subsidiary generally conducts its transactions in Indian rupees, which is also its functional currency. The results of any non-U.S. dollar transactions and balances are remeasured in U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates during the period and resulting foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of net income. Our gain or loss on transactions denominated in foreign currencies and the translation impact of local currencies to U.S. dollars was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Unless otherwise noted, all references to “$” or “dollar” refer to the U.S. dollar. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the condensed consolidated financial statements, estimates are used for, but not limited to, variable consideration determined based on accruals for chargebacks, administrative fees and rebates, government rebates, returns and other allowances, income tax provision or benefit, deferred taxes and valuation allowance, stock-based compensation, revenue recognition, allowance for inventory obsolescence, valuation of financial instruments and intangible assets, accruals for contingent liabilities, including contingent consideration in acquisitions, fair value of long-lived assets, determination of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, allowance for credit losses, and the depreciable lives of long-lived assets. Because of the uncertainties inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ from those estimates. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for reasonableness. Restructuring Activities We define restructuring activities to include costs directly associated with exit or disposal activities. Such costs include cash employee contractual severance and other termination benefits, one-time employee termination severance and benefits, contract termination charges, impairment and acceleration of depreciation associated with long-lived assets, and other exit or disposal costs. In general, we record involuntary employee- related exit and disposal costs when there is a substantive plan for employee severance and related payments are probable and estimable. For one-time termination benefits, including those with a service requirement, expense is recorded when the employees are entitled to receive such benefits and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Expense related to one-time termination benefits with a service requirement is recorded over time, as the service is completed. Contract termination fees and penalties, and other exit and disposal costs are generally recorded as incurred. Restructuring activities are recognized as an operating expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2022-06, which extended the sunset date of the reference rate reform in ASU 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. We have not adopted the guidance and are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. We have evaluated all other issued and unadopted Accounting Standards Updates and believe the adoption of these standards will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, balance sheets, or cash flows.

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RELATED

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RELATED ALLOWANCES	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2023
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RELATED ALLOWANCES
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RELATED ALLOWANCES	2. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RELATED ALLOWANCES Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue using the following steps: ● Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; ● Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; ● Determination of the transaction price, including the identification and estimation of variable consideration; ● Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and ● Recognition of revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation. We derive our revenues primarily from sales of generic, rare disease, and established brand pharmaceutical products, royalties, and other pharmaceutical services. Revenue is recognized when our obligations under the terms of our contracts with customers are satisfied, which generally occurs when control of the products we sell is transferred to the customer. We estimate variable consideration after considering applicable information that is reasonably available. We generally do not have incremental costs to obtain contracts that would otherwise not have been incurred. We do not adjust revenue for the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component because our customers generally pay us within 100 days. All revenue recognized in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers. The following table depicts the disaggregation of revenue: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended Products and Services ​ March 31, ​ March 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Sales of generic pharmaceutical products ​ $ 63,713 ​ $ 49,107 Sales of established brand pharmaceutical products, royalties, and other pharmaceutical services ​ 26,743 ​ 14,078 Sales of rare disease pharmaceutical products ​ ​ 16,330 ​ ​ 1,292 Total net revenues ​ $ 106,786 ​ $ 64,477 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended Timing of Revenue Recognition ​ March 31, ​ March 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Performance obligations transferred at a point in time ​ $ 106,411 ​ $ 63,911 Performance obligations transferred over time ​ 375 ​ 566 Total ​ $ 106,786 ​ $ 64,477 ​ In the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not incur, and therefore did not defer, any material incremental costs to obtain or fulfill contracts. We recognized an increase of $5.1 million to net revenue from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods during the three months ended March 31, 2023, consisting primarily of revised estimates for variable consideration, including chargebacks, rebates, returns, and other allowances, related to prior period sales. consisting primarily of revised estimates for variable consideration, including chargebacks, rebates, returns, and other allowances, related to prior period sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized less than $0.1 million of revenue that was included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021. Variable consideration Sales of our pharmaceutical products are subject to variable consideration due to chargebacks, government rebates, returns, administrative and other rebates, and cash discounts. Estimates for these elements of variable consideration require significant judgment.

RESTRUCTURING
RESTRUCTURING	3. RESTRUCTURING ​ On June 2, 2022, we announced that we intended to cease operations at our Oakville, Ontario, Canada manufacturing plant by the first quarter of 2023. This action was part of ongoing initiatives to capture operational synergies following our acquisition of Novitium in November 2021. We have completed the transition of the products manufactured or packaged in Oakville to one of our three U.S.-based manufacturing sites. We are seeking to find potential buyers for the Oakville site, though there can be no assurance as to when or if that will occur or the amount of any net proceeds that may be received. ​ For the three months ended March 31, 2023, restructuring activities resulted in expenses of $1.1 million. This included $0.2 million of severance and other employee benefit costs and $0.7 million of accelerated depreciation costs and $0.2 million for other miscellaneous costs. As of March 31, 2023, $1.2 million of the severance and other employee benefits are unpaid and accrued. These costs are recorded as restructuring activities, an operating item, in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and are part of the Generics, Established Brands, and Other segment. Certain of the severance and other employee benefit costs contain a service requirement, and as such, were accrued over time as they were earned. ​ In conjunction with the exit of our Canadian facility, we have determined that the land and building at our Oakville, Ontario, Canada plant will be sold together and meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2023. The land and building have a net carrying value of $8.0 million, which is presented as assets held for sale ​

INDEBTEDNESS	4. INDEBTEDNESS Credit Facility On November 19, 2021, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Novitium pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 8, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Novitium, Nile Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and certain other parties, with Novitium becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ANI. On November 19, 2021, the Company, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank and other lenders, which provides for credit facilities consisting of (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate commitment amount of $40.0 million, which may be used for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit (the “Revolving Facility,” and together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Term Facility proceeds were used to finance the cash portion of the consideration under the Merger Agreement, repay our existing credit facility, and pay fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the merger. Proceeds from the Revolving Facility are expected to be used, subject to certain limitations, for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Term Facility matures in November 2027 and the Revolving Facility in November 2026. Each permits both base rate borrowings (“ABR Loans”) and Eurodollar rate borrowings (“Eurodollar Loans”), plus a spread of (a) 5.00% above the base rate in the case of ABR Loans under the Term Facility and 6.00% above the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in the case of LIBOR loans under the Term Facility and (b) 3.75% above the base rate in the case of ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility and 4.75% above the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in the case of loans under the Revolving Facility. The interest rate under the Term Facility was 9.14% at March 31, 2023. The Credit Facility has a subjective acceleration clause in case of a material adverse effect. The Term Facility includes a repayment schedule, pursuant to which $750 thousand of the loan will be paid in quarterly installments during the twelve months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2023, $3.0 million of the loan is recorded as current borrowings in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2023, we had not drawn on the Revolving Facility and $40.0 million remained available for borrowing subject to certain conditions. ​ We incurred $14.0 million in deferred debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Facility. Costs allocated to the Term Facility are classified as a direct reduction to the current and non-current portion of the borrowings, depending on their nature. Costs allocated to the Revolving Facility are classified as other current and other non-current assets, depending on their nature. We incur a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on any unused portion of the Revolving Facility. In connection with entry into the Credit Facility, on November 19, 2021, we terminated our existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 27, 2018 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, and Citizens Bank with other lenders. ​ The Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s and its principal domestic subsidiary’s assets and any future domestic subsidiary guarantors’ assets. The Credit Facility is subject to customary financial and nonfinancial covenants. The carrying value of the current and non-current components of the Term Facility as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Current ​ ​ March 31, ​ December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Current borrowing on debt ​ $ 3,000 $ 3,000 Deferred financing costs ​ (2,150) ​ (2,150) Current debt, net of deferred financing costs ​ $ 850 ​ $ 850 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Non-Current ​ ​ March 31, ​ December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Non-current borrowing on debt ​ $ 293,250 ​ $ 294,000 Deferred financing costs ​ (7,793) ​ (8,331) Non-current debt, net of deferred financing costs and current component ​ $ 285,457 ​ $ 285,669 ​ As of March 31, 2023, we had a $296.3 million balance on the Term Facility.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT AND HEDGING ACTIVITY
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT AND HEDGING ACTIVITY	5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT AND HEDGING ACTIVITY At times we use derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to interest rate risks. All derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet and are classified as current or non-current based on the scheduled maturity of the instrument. When we enter into a hedge arrangement and intend to apply hedge accounting, we formally document the hedge relationship and designate the instrument for financial reporting purposes as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a net investment hedge. When we determine that a derivative financial instrument qualifies as a cash flow hedge and is effective, the changes in fair value of the instrument are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax in our consolidated balance sheets and will be reclassified to earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. In April 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap with Citizens Bank, N.A. to manage our exposure to changes in LIBOR-based interest rates underlying total borrowings under term facilities related to our Prior Credit Agreement. The interest rate swap matures in December 2026. Concurrent with the termination of the Prior Credit Agreement and entry into the Credit Agreement with Truist Bank, the interest rate swap with a notional value of $168.6 million at origin on November 21, 2021 was novated and Truist Bank is the new counterparty. The swap is used to manage changes in LIBOR-based interest rates underlying a portion of the borrowing under the Term Facility. The interest rate swap provides an effective fixed interest rate of 2.26% and has been designated as an effective cash flow hedge and therefore qualifies for hedge accounting. As of March 31, 2023, the notional amount of the interest rate swap was $147.5 million and decreases quarterly by approximately $4.0 million until December 2023, after which it remains static until maturity in December 2026. As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the interest rate swap asset recorded in other non-current assets in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets was $6.9 million. As of March 31, 2023, $11.1 million was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. ​ During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the change in fair value of the interest rate swaps was a loss of $2.2 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, losses on the interest rate swap of $1.1 million were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, net of tax in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. Differences between the hedged LIBOR rate and the fixed rate are recorded as interest expense in the same period that the related interest is recorded for the Term Facility based on the LIBOR rate. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, $0.5 million of interest expense was recognized in relation to the interest rate swaps. Included in this amount for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $0.7 million and $0.7 million and during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are $0.7 million and $0.7 million in expense related to terminated and de-designated cash flow hedges. ​

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE	6. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For periods of net income, and when the effects are not anti-dilutive, we calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the impact of all potential dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of common stock options, shares to be purchased under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), common stock options, and performance stock units, using the more dilutive of the treasury stock or the two-class method. For periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is calculated similarly to basic loss per share. Our unvested restricted shares and Series A convertible preferred stock shares contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, and therefore are considered to be participating securities; in periods of net income, the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share excludes from the numerator net income (but not net loss) attributable to the unvested restricted shares and the common shares assumed converted from the preferred shares and excludes the impact of those shares from the denominator. Earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are calculated for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Basic ​ Diluted (in thousands, except per share amounts) ​ Three Months Ended March 31, ​ Three Months Ended March 31, ​ 2023 2022 2023 2022 Net income (loss) available to common shareholders ​ $ 1,033 ​ $ (20,535) ​ $ 1,033 ​ $ (20,535) Earnings allocated to participating securities ​ ​ (113) ​ ​ — ​ ​ (113) ​ ​ — Net income (loss) available to common shareholders ​ $ 920 ​ $ (20,535) ​ $ 920 ​ $ (20,535) Basic Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding ​ 16,392 ​ 16,137 ​ 16,392 ​ 16,137 Dilutive effect of common stock options, ESPP, and performance stock units ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 139 ​ — Diluted Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 16,531 ​ 16,137 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Income (loss) per share ​ $ 0.06 ​ $ (1.27) ​ $ 0.06 ​ $ (1.27) ​ The number of anti-dilutive shares, which have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, was 2.6 million and 2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, all potentially dilutive shares were anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because we recognized a net loss.

Generally, only a single source of API is qualified for use in each product due to the cost and time required to validate a second source of supply. As a result, we are dependent upon our current vendors to reliably supply the API required for on-going product manufacturing. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, no single vendor represented more than 10% of inventory purchases. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, one vendor represented 16% of inventory purchases.

There were 18.2 million and 18.0 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2023, respectively, and 17.6 million and 17.5 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2022, respectively. There were 11 thousand shares of class C special stock issued and outstanding dissolve, or wind-up the Company. The holders of class C special stock have no cumulative voting, preemptive, subscription, redemption, or sinking fund rights. Mezzanine Equity PIPE Shares ​ Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and as financing for a portion of the acquisition, on March 8, 2021, we entered into an Equity Commitment and Investment Agreement with Ampersand 2020 Limited Partnership (the “PIPE Investor”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investor, and the PIPE Investor agreed to purchase, 25,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $1,000 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million. This agreement closed and the 25,000 PIPE Shares were sold and issued for $25.0 million on November 19, 2021. The PIPE Shares are classified as mezzanine equity because the shares are mandatorily redeemable for cash upon a change in control, an event that is not solely in our control. ​ The PIPE Shares accrue dividends at 6.50% per year on a cumulative basis, payable in cash or in-kind, and will also participate, on a pro-rata basis, in any dividends that may be declared with respect to our common stock. The PIPE Shares are convertible into our common shares at the conversion price of $41.47 (i) beginning two years after their issuance date, at the election of ANI (in which case the PIPE Investor must convert all of the PIPE Shares), if the volume-weighted average price of our common stock for any 20 trading days out of 30 consecutive trading days exceeds 170% of the conversion price, and (ii) at any time after issuance, at the election of the PIPE Investor. As of March 31, 2023, the PIPE shares are currently convertible into a maximum of 602,901 shares of our common stock. ​ In case of a liquidation event, the holder of the PIPE Shares will be entitled to receive, in preference to holders of our common stock, the greater of (i) the PIPE Shares’ purchase price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and (ii) the amount the holder of the PIPE Shares would have received in the liquidation event if it had converted its PIPE Shares into our common stock. The PIPE Shares will have voting rights, voting as one series with our common stock, on as-converted basis, and will have separate voting rights on any (i) amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate”) that adversely amends and relates solely to the terms of the PIPE Shares and (ii) issuance of additional Series A convertible preferred stock. In case of a change of control of ANI, the PIPE Shares will be redeemed at the greater of (i) the PIPE Shares’ purchase price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and (ii) the change of control transaction consideration that the holder of the PIPE Shares would have received if it had converted into our common stock. There were 25,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

Amended and Restated 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which was approved by our stockholders at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on April 27, 2022. Prior to this approval, we had been granting equity-based incentive awards under our Sixth Amended and Restated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”), which was renamed and was amended and restated to become the 2022 Plan. This amendment and restatement, among other things, increased the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder by 1,150,000 shares. As of March 31, 2023, 0.4 million shares of our common stock were available for issuance under the 2022 Plan. Stock Options 10-year one 10-year From time to time, we may grant stock options to employees through an inducement grant outside of our 2022 Plan to induce prospective employees to accept employment with us (the “Inducement Grants”). The options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the respective grant date and are generally exercisable in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the respective grant date. The grants are made pursuant to inducement grants outside of our stockholder approved equity plan as permitted under the Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules. Restricted Stock Awards Shares of our common stock delivered to employees and directors will be unrestricted upon vesting. During the vesting period, the recipient of the RSAs has full voting rights as a stockholder and would receive dividends, if declared, even though the restricted stock remains subject to transfer restrictions and will generally be forfeited upon termination of the officer prior to vesting. The fair value of each RSA is based on the market value of our stock on the date of grant. Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units : Awards may also be issued in the form of Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”). PSUs represent the right to receive an amount of cash, a number of shares of our common stock or a combination of both, contingent upon the achievement of specified performance objectives during a specified performance period. PSUs granted to date have vested over a three-year performance period. On February 28, 2023, as part of our equity compensation program, we granted PSUs 50% were market performance-based restricted stock units (“MPRSUs”), vesting of which is contingent upon the Company meeting certain total shareholder return (“TSR”) levels as compared to a select peer group over the over three years starting January 1, 2023. The MPRSUs are also subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service through December 31, 2025. The MPRSUs cliff vest at the end of the three-year period and have a maximum potential to vest at 200% (85,099 shares) based on TSR performance. The related share-based compensation expense is determined based on the estimated fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and is recognized straight-line over the vesting term. The estimated grant date fair value per share of the MPRSUs was $68.65 and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. These MPRSUs are included at 100% of the estimate number of shares at the end of the three-year performance period and are reflected under “Granted” in the table below. The other 50% of the PSUs were performance based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), vesting of which is contingent upon the Company meeting certain adjusted non-GAAP year-on-year EBITDA growth rates over the over three years starting January 1, 2023. The PRSUs are also subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service through December 31, 2025. The PRSUs cliff vest at the end of the three-year period and have a maximum potential to vest at 200% (85,099 shares) based on adjusted non-GAAP year-on-year EBITDA growth rates. The related share-based compensation expense is determined based on the estimated fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and is recognized straight-line over the vesting term. We analyzed progress on the performance goals to assess the likelihood of achievement. The estimated grant date fair value per share of the PRSUs was $41.84 based on the closing price of the stock on the date of grant. These PRSUs are included at 100% of the estimated number of shares at the end of the three-year performance period and are reflected under “Granted” in the table below.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES	3 Months Ended

INCOME TAXES
INCOME TAXES	11. INCOME TAXES We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted. The measurement of a deferred tax asset is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of March 31, 2023, we had provided a valuation allowance against consolidated net deferred tax assets of $0.4 million, related solely to deferred tax assets for net operating loss carryforwards in certain U.S. state jurisdictions. We use a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. We have not identified any uncertain income tax positions that could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. We recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax exposures as a component of income tax expense; we did not have any such amounts accrued as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We are subject to taxation in various U.S. jurisdictions, Canada, and India and all of our income tax returns remain subject to examination by tax authorities due to the availability of NOL carryforwards. For interim periods, we recognize an income tax provision (benefit) based on our estimated annual effective tax rate, calculated on a worldwide consolidated basis, expected for the entire year. The interim annual estimated effective tax rate is based on the statutory tax rates then in effect, as adjusted for estimated changes in temporary and estimated permanent differences, and excludes certain discrete items whose tax effect, when material, are recognized in the interim period in which they occur. These changes in temporary differences, permanent differences, and discrete items result in variances to the effective tax rate from period to period. We also have elected to exclude the impacts from significant pre-tax non-recognized subsequent events from our interim estimated annual effective rate until the period in which they occur. Our estimated annual effective tax rate changes throughout the year as our on-going estimates of pre-tax income, changes in temporary differences, and permanent differences are revised, and as discrete items occur. Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), as defined in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, generated from our Canadian and Indian operations is subject to U.S. taxes, with certain defined exemptions, thresholds and credits. For financial reporting purposes we have elected to treat GILTI inclusions as a period cost. ​ For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized an income tax provision of $0.7 million. The income tax provision resulted from applying an estimated annual worldwide effective tax provision rate of 34.9% to pre-tax consolidated income of $2.2 million reported during the period. There were no material discrete items occurring during the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized an income tax benefit of $5.8 million. The income tax benefit resulted from applying an estimated annual worldwide effective tax benefit rate of 22.3% to pre-tax consolidated loss of $25.9 million reported during the period. There were no material discrete items occurring during the three months ended March 31, 2022. ​ We expect that recent tax law changes contained in Inflation Reduction Act and the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act of 2022 (“CHIPS Act”) will not have a material impact on the provision for income taxes. ​

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	3 Months Ended

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Government Regulation Our products and facilities are subject to regulation by a number of federal and state governmental agencies, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (“CDSCO”), The Narcotics Control Bureau (“NCB”), and India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (“MoHFW”). The FDA, in particular, maintains oversight of the formulation, manufacture, distribution, packaging, and labeling of all of our products. The DEA, Health Canada, and NCB maintain oversight over our products that are considered controlled substances. Unapproved Products Two of our products, Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone (“EEMT”) and Opium Tincture, are marketed without approved NDAs or ANDAs. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, net revenues for these products totaled $3.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively. In addition, one group of products that we manufacture on behalf of a contract customer is marketed by that customer without an approved NDA. If the FDA took enforcement action against such customer, the customer may be required to seek FDA approval for the group of products or withdraw them from the market. Our contract manufacturing revenues for the group of unapproved products for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were $0.6 million. Legal proceedings We are involved, and from time to time may become involved, in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inquiries, investigations, government reimbursement related actions and litigation. These matters are complex and subject to significant uncertainties. Due to the inherent unpredictability of legal matters, including litigation, governmental and regulatory matters, particularly where the damages sought are substantial or indeterminate or when the proceedings, investigations or inquiries are in the early stages, we cannot accurately predict the outcome, or the effects of the legal proceedings described below. While we believe that we have valid claims and/or defenses in the litigation and other matters described below, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the outcome of the proceedings could result in losses, including substantial damages, fines, civil or criminal penalties and injunctive or administrative remedies. We intend to vigorously prosecute and/or defend these matters, as appropriate; however, from time to time, we may settle or otherwise resolve these matters on terms and conditions that we believe are in our best interests. Resolution of any or all claims, investigations, and legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and/or cash flows in any given accounting period or on our overall financial condition. Some of these matters with which we are involved are described below and in our 2022 Form 10-K, and unless otherwise disclosed, we are unable to predict the outcome of the matter or to provide an estimate of the range of reasonably possible material losses. We record accruals for loss contingencies to the extent we conclude it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. From time to time, we are also involved in other pending proceedings for which, in our opinion based upon facts and circumstances known at the time, either the likelihood of loss is remote or any reasonably possible loss associated with the resolution of such proceedings is not expected to be material to our results, and therefore remain undisclosed. If and when any reasonably possible losses associated with the resolution of such other pending proceedings, in our opinion, become material, we will disclose such matters. Furthermore, like many pharmaceutical manufacturers, we are periodically exposed to product liability claims. The prevalence of these claims could limit our coverage under future insurance policies or cause those policies to become more expensive, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results. Recent trends in the product liability and director and officer insurance markets is to exclude matters related to certain classes of drugs. Our policies have been subject to such exclusions which place further potential risk of financial loss on us. Legal fees for litigation-related matters are expensed as incurred and included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations under the selling, general, and administrative expense line item. ​ ​ ​ ​ Commercial Litigation In November of 2017, we were served with a complaint filed by Arbor Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Arbor”), in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. The complaint alleged false advertising and unfair competition in violation of Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, Section 1125(a) of Title 15 of the United States Code, and Minnesota State law, under the premise that we sold an unapproved Erythromycin Ethylsuccinate (“EES”) product during the period between September 27, 2016 and November 2, 2018. The complaint sought a trial by jury and monetary damages (inclusive of actual and consequential damages, treble damages, disgorgement of ANI profits, and legal fees) of an unspecified amount. Discovery in this action closed on March 31, 2019 and trial was scheduled to commence on August 25, 2021. On August 3, 2021, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with Arbor to resolve all claims related to Civil Action 17-4910, Arbor Pharmaceuticals, LLC v. ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which was pending trial in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. Under the terms of the agreement, ANI paid Arbor $8.4 million and Arbor dismissed the action with prejudice. Neither party admitted wrongdoing in reaching this settlement. The Company paid the settlement from cash on the balance sheet. On December 3, 2020, class action complaints were filed against the Company on behalf of putative classes of direct and indirect purchasers of the drug Bystolic. On December 23, 2020, six individual purchasers of Bystolic, CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreen, Kroger, Albertsons, and H-E-B, filed complaints against the Company. On March 15, 2021, the plaintiffs in these actions filed amended complaints. All amended complaints were substantively identical. The plaintiffs in these actions alleged that, beginning in 2012, Forest Laboratories, the manufacturer of Bystolic, entered into anticompetitive agreements when settling patent litigation related to Bystolic with seven potential manufacturers of a generic version of Bystolic: Hetero, Torrent, Alkem/Indchemie, Glenmark, Amerigen, Watson, and various of their corporate parents, successors, subsidiaries, and affiliates. ANI itself was not a party to patent litigation with Forest concerning Bystolic and did not settle patent litigation with Forest. The plaintiffs named the Company as a defendant based on the Company’s January 8, 2020 Asset Purchase Agreement with Amerigen. Under the terms of the 2020 Asset Purchase Agreement, Amerigen agreed to indemnify ANI for certain liabilities relating to Bystolic, including liabilities that arose prior to closing of the asset purchase. The complaints alleged that the 2013 patent litigation settlement agreement between Forest and Amerigen violated federal and state antitrust laws and state consumer protection laws by delaying the market entry of generic versions of Bystolic. Plaintiffs alleged they paid higher prices as a result of delayed generic competition. Plaintiffs sought damages, trebled or otherwise multiplied under applicable law, injunctive relief, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees. The complaints did not specify the amount of damages sought from the Company or other defendants and the Company. at this stage of the litigation cannot reasonably estimate the potential damages that the plaintiffs will seek. The cases were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York On March 24, 2021, Azurity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Azurity”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota against ANI, asserting that ANI’s vancomycin hydrochloride oral solution drug product infringes U.S. Patent No. 10,688,046. The complaint sought injunctive relief, damages, including lost profits and/or royalty, treble damages, and attorneys’ fee and costs. On February 15, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Azurity to resolve all claims related to this action. Under the terms of the agreement, Azurity granted ANI a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-bearing license under its patents to sell ANI product in the United States and dismissed the action with prejudice. In exchange, ANI paid Azurity On April 1, 2021, United Therapeutics Corp. and Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“UTC/Supernus”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against ANI, asserting that ANI’s proposed Treprostinil extended release drug product, which is subject to ANI’s Abbreviated New Drug Application No. 215667, infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 7,417,070, 7,544,713, 8,252,839, 8,349,892, 8,410,169, 8,747,897, 9,050,311, 9,278,901, 9,393,203, 9,422,223, 9,593,066 and 9,604,901 (“the Asserted Patents”). The complaint seeks injunctive relief , attorneys' fee and costs. ANI filed its answer and counterclaims on May 28, 2021, denying UTC/Supernus’ allegations and seeking declaratory judgment that ANI has not infringed any valid and enforceable claim of the Asserted Patents, that the Asserted Patents are invalid, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. On May 26, 2022, the parties’ respective claims and counterclaims were dismissed pursuant to a confidential settlement agreement. On October 3, 2022, Azurity filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Novitium, asserting that Novitium’s manufacture, use, sale, importation and/or offer to sell Bionpharma Inc.’s (“Bionpharma”) enalapril maleate oral solution drug product (the “Product”) infringes U.S. Patents Nos. 11,040,023 and 11,141,405 (the “Novitium Action”). The complaint seeks injunctive relief, and an award of Azurity’s costs and expenses. On October 12, 2022, Bionpharma filed a motion in United States District Court for the District of New Jersey to intervene on Novitium’s behalf in the litigation and on October 14, 2022, Novitium and Bionpharma filed a joint motion to transfer venue to the District of Delaware, which motion to transfer was granted on January 20, 2023. On March 27, 2023, the transferred Novitium Action (assigned Delaware Civil Action No. 23-163-MSG) was consolidated with the Delaware Third Wave Suits against Bionpharma (Civil Action Nos. 21-1286-MSG, 21-1455-MSG), which include Azurity’s infringement claims against Bionpharma involving the same patents asserted in the Novitium Action, as well as Bionpharma’s antitrust claims against Azurity. Trial is scheduled for June 17, 2024 and the parties are currently proceeding through fact discovery. Bionpharma has agreed to indemnify Novitium under the terms of its manufacturing and supply agreement for any damages, costs, and expenses relating to actual or alleged infringement of intellectual property rights or sale of the Product by Bionpharma. ANI and Novitium dispute any liability in this matter. Ranitidine Related Litigation State of New Mexico Litigation In re Zantac multidistrict litigation (“MDL”) pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. New Mexico moved for remand to state court. The MDL court granted the remand motion on February 25, 2021. On April 16, 2021, New Mexico filed an amended complaint in the New Mexico First Judicial District Court in Santa Fe County. It did not name ANI in the amended complaint, effectively voluntarily dismissing ANI from the action. Novitium is named as a Defendant in the amended complaint. According to Novitium’s records, Novitium did not ship any ranitidine product to New Mexico, and received no funds from any state funded health care plan or Medicaid. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the claims asserted in the New Mexico litigation based primarily on preemption. The motion was denied in August 2021. A motion for reconsideration was denied on September 22, 2022. The case is currently in discovery. ANI and Novitium dispute any liability in this matter. ​ ​ ​ Federal Court Personal Injury Litigation Koepsel v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, et al. Koepsel In re Zantac MDL Koepsel Daubert ANI and Novitium were named in other individual personal injury complaints filed in the MDL in which plaintiffs allege that they developed cancer after taking prescription and over the counter medication containing ranitidine. ANI was served with complaints in five of those additional cases: Cooper v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, et al. Lineberry v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC, et al. Lovette v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC, et al. Hightower v. Pfizer, et al, Bird v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, et al. Cooper Lineberry Lovette Bird Hightower Prior to the district court’s July 8, 2021 preemption decision, Novitium had been named in 158 short form complaints filed by claimants in the MDL. Those complaints were effectively dismissed with prejudice with the MPIC on July 8, 2021. Counsel for the plaintiffs have been notified that Novitium did not sell an over the counter ranitidine product and sold a generic prescription ranitidine product for a limited period of time, from December 2018 until September 2019. Novitium’s product was voluntarily recalled in October 2019. Out of the 158 short form complaints, approximately 114 plaintiffs either were diagnosed with cancer before Novitium began manufacturing the product, only took over the counter ranitidine, or took ranitidine before Novitium began manufacturing it. Two of those 114 plaintiffs dismissed Novitium from their short form complaints. In light of the Court’s dismissal of all claims with prejudice, Novitium has not pursued dismissal of the short form complaints against it at this time. Following the district court’s Daubert ANI and Novitium dispute any liability in these matters. ​ ​ ​ State Court Personal Injury Litigation Illinois Ross v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al In August 2022, the Keller Postman law firm commenced six multi-plaintiff actions in Illinois state court naming generic ranitidine manufacturers, including ANI and/or Novitium, as defendants. Those cases are: (1) Jodee Gillespie v. Walgreen Co., et. al. , Circuit Court of the Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Illinois, Case No. 2022LA001007 (naming both Novitium and ANI); (2) John Jackson v. Walgreen Co., et. al. , Circuit Court of the Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Illinois, Case No. 2022LA001012 (naming Novitium); (3) Ayesha Salahuddin v. Walgreen Co., et. al., Circuit Court of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, St. Clair County, Illinois, Case No. 22LA0709 (naming Novitium); (4) Lashanda McGruder v. Walgreen Co., et. al., Circuit Court of the Third Judicial Circuit, Madison County, Illinois, Case No. 22LA0710 (naming both Novitium and ANI); (5) Richard Devriendt v. Walgreen Co., et. al., Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Case No. 2022L007429 (naming Novitium); (6) Anthony Stigger v. Walgreen Co., et. al., Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Case No. 2022L007396 (naming both Novitium and ANI). The complaints allege causes of action for failure to warn, design defect, general negligence, loss of consortium and wrongful death. Pursuant to an Order of the Illinois Supreme Court dated October 25, 2022, the pending ranitidine personal injury actions in Illinois have been consolidated in Cook County for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. Those pre-trial proceedings are pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County. On January 12, 2023, Judge Trevino directed the plaintiffs to dismiss the multi-plaintiff actions and refile each individual plaintiff action under a separate case number. At a status conference held on February 16, 2023, the court required that the plaintiffs re-file within 60 days. The court also authorized use of a master complaint. Plaintiffs filed a master long-form complaint on March 9, 2023 naming Novitium as a defendant. ANI is not named as a defendant. The Keller Postman firm has confirmed that its clients are no longer pursuing claims against ANI. The counts in the master complaint include strict liability for failure to warn/design defects, general negligence, negligent misrepresentation, negligent storage and transport, apparent manufacturer liability, common law fraud, unjust enrichment, civil conspiracy, and breach of express and implied warranties. The complaint further alleges violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act. Pursuant to the court’s standing order, the generic defendants filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to IL 2-615 (failure to state a claim on the face of the complaint) on April 13, 2023, claiming preemption by federal law. In addition, the generic defendants argue that Plaintiffs failed to meet Illinois’ fact pleading standards, as the complaint fails to specifically allege the misconduct of any generic defendant. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ California. In August and September 2022, the Keller Postman law firm commenced seven multi-plaintiff actions in California state court, Alameda County, naming generic ranitidine manufacturers, including ANI and/or Novitium, as defendants. Those cases are: (1) Carlos Ascencio v. ANI Pharmaceuticals, et. al., Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case. No. 22CV016230 (naming both Novitium and ANI); (2) Andre Lebeau v. Actavis Mid Atlantic, LLC et. al., Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case No. 22CV016448 (naming Novitium); (3) Roque Torres v. ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case No. 22CV016338 (naming both Novitium and ANI); (4) Deborah Hinds v. ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case No. 22CV016123 (naming both Novitium and ANI); (5) Mark Cruz v. ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case No. 22CV016338 (naming both Novitium and ANI); (6) Bent Olsen v. ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et. al., Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case No. 22CV016402 (naming both Novitium and ANI); (7) John Norman v. Actavis Mid Atlantic, LLC, et. al., Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, Case No. 22CV018334 (naming Novitium). The complaints allege causes of action for failure to warn, design defect, general negligence, loss of consortium and wrongful death. By stipulation and order dated December 28, 2022, the cases were transferred to an existing civil case coordination docket for pretrial proceedings (JCCP) pending in Alameda County. By order dated January 19, 2023, the court ordered that counsel for the plaintiffs must dismiss the individual plaintiffs (other than the first-named plaintiff) from each of the multi-plaintiff complaints and that each of the dismissed plaintiffs must re-file their claims in a single plaintiff complaint. As of April 25, 2023, ANI and Novitium had not yet been served with any of these single-plaintiff complaints. As of April 25, 2023, the Company is aware of three single-plaintiff cases in which Novitium is named as a defendant: David Duncan v. GSK Holdings , No. T23-507 ; Charmaine Sili v. GSK Holdings , No. T23-355; and Charles Crippen v. Boehringer, No. T23-349. Pennsylvania . In September 2022, two single-plaintiff complaints were filed in Pennsylvania state court, Philadelphia County, naming Novitium as a defendant: (1) William Titus v. Glaxo SmithKline LLC, et. al. , Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, Case No. 220902548; and (2) Jodi Woodard v. Ajanta Pharma USA, Inc., et. al. , Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, Case No. 220902329. These complaints allege causes of action for negligence, failure to warn, negligent storage and transportation, breach of express and implied warranties, negligent misrepresentation, and fraud. On February 16, 2023, the Pennsylvania Plaintiffs v. Actavis, et. al. Civil Action No. 1364 e long-form complaint names Novitium as a defendant. The long form complaint asserts causes of action for negligence, failure to warn, negligent storage and transportation, breach of express warranties, breach of implied warranties, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, strict products liability, wrongful death and survivor actions, and loss of consortium. The complaint includes a prayer for punitive damages. The generic defendants filed their preliminary objections to Plaintiffs’ consolidated long-form generic complaint on March 20, 2023. The arguments advanced in the preliminary objections include preemption and failure to properly state a claim for fraud under Pennsylvania law. Arguments in support of the preliminary objections for all defendant groups were held on April 27, 2023 and the court ruling is pending. ANI and Novitium dispute any liability in these matters. Other Industry Related Matters On or about September 20, 2017, the Company and certain of its employees were served with search warrants and/or grand jury subpoenas to produce documents and possibly testify relating to a federal investigation of the generic pharmaceutical industry. We have been cooperating and intend to continue cooperating with the investigation. However, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of the investigation.

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2023
FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES	13. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value. The inputs used in measuring the fair value of cash and cash equivalents are considered to be Level 1 in accordance with the three-tier fair value hierarchy. The fair market values are based on period-end statements supplied by the various banks and brokers that held the majority of our funds. The fair value of short-term financial instruments (primarily accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities) approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature. The Term Facility bears an interest rate that fluctuates with the changes in LIBOR and, because the variable interest rates approximate market borrowing rates available to us, we believe the carrying values of these borrowings approximated their fair values at March 31, 2023. Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Contingent Value Rights Our contingent value rights (“CVRs”), which were granted coincident with our merger with BioSante and expire in June 2023, are considered contingent consideration and are classified as liabilities. As such, the CVRs were recorded as purchase consideration at their estimated fair value, using level 3 inputs, and are marked to market each reporting period until settlement. The fair value of CVRs is estimated using the present value of our projection of the expected payments pursuant to the terms of the CVR agreement, which is the primary unobservable input. If our projection or expected payments were to increase substantially, the value of the CVRs could increase as a result. The present value of the liability was calculated using a discount rate of 15%. We determined that the fair value of the CVRs was immaterial as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We also determined that the changes in such fair value were immaterial in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Interest Rate Swap The fair value of our interest rate swap is estimated based on the present value of projected future cash flows using the LIBOR forward rate curve. The model used to value the interest rate swap includes inputs of readily observable market data, a Level 2 input. As described in detail in Note 5, the fair value of the interest rate swap was a $6.9 million asset as of March 31, 2023. Contingent Consideration In connection with the acquisition of Novitium, we may pay up to $46.5 million in additional consideration related to the achievement of certain milestones, including milestones on gross profit of Novitium portfolio products over a 24-month period, regulatory filings completed during this 24-month period, and a percentage of net profits on certain products that are launched in the future. The discounted cash flow method used to value this contingent consideration includes inputs of not readily observable market data, which are Level 3 inputs. The recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of contingent consideration for which a liability is recorded include the following significant unobservable inputs: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Payment Type ​ ​ Valuation Technique ​ Unobservable Input ​ Assumptions Profit-based milestone payments ​ ​ Probability-weighted discounted cash flow ​ Discount rate ​ 13.0% ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Projected fiscal year of payment ​ 2024-2029 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Product development-based milestone payments ​ ​ Probability-weighted discounted cash flow ​ Discount rate ​ 8.6% ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Probability of payment ​ 95.0% ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Projected fiscal year of payment ​ 2024 ​ The following table presents the changes in contingent consideration balances classified as Level 3 balances for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended March 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Beginning balance ​ $ 35,058 ​ $ 31,000 Measurement period adjustment ​ ​ — ​ ​ 300 Change in fair value ​ 961 ​ 753 Ending balance ​ $ 36,019 ​ $ 32,053 ​ The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, by level within the fair value hierarchy: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (in thousands) ​ Fair Value at ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Description ​ March 31, 2023 ​ Level 1 ​ Level 2 ​ Level 3 Assets ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest rate swap ​ $ 6,855 ​ $ — ​ $ 6,855 ​ $ — Liabilities ​ ​ ​ ​ Contingent consideration ​ $ 36,019 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 36,019 CVRs ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value at ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Description ​ December 31, 2022 ​ Level 1 ​ Level 2 ​ Level 3 Assets ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest rate swap ​ $ 8,759 ​ $ — ​ $ 8,759 ​ $ — Liabilities ​ ​ ​ ​ Contingent consideration ​ $ 35,058 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 35,058 CVRs ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis We do not have any financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis We do not have any non-financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis We measure our long-lived assets, including property, plant, and equipment, right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, intangible assets, and goodwill, at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. No such fair value impairment was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. ​ ​ ​ ​ Acquired Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value On July 21, 2022, we acquired four ANDAs from Oakrum Pharma, LLC for total consideration of $8.0 million plus an immaterial amount for the purchase of finished goods inventory. The transaction was funded from cash on hand. We accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition and capitalized the transaction costs directly related to the acquisition. The product portfolio included one commercial product, one approved product with a launch completed in September and two filed products, with approval pending. We recognized $7.2 million as acquired ANDA intangible assets and $1.2 million as research and development expense because certain of the generic products have significant remaining work required in order to be commercialized and the products do not have an alternative future use. The payment was allocated to the acquired intangible assets and in-process research and development based on relative fair value, which was determined using Level 3 unobservable inputs. We used the present value of the estimated cash flows related to the products, using a discount rate of 13% to determine the fair value of the acquired intangible assets and in-process research and development. The inventory acquired was immaterial. Contingent liabilities are accrued when they are both estimable and probable. As of March 31, 2023, we accrued $0.2 million in contingent payments due to a third party upon the launch of a product completed in September. This was accrued and recorded in the fair value of acquired intangible assets as it was probable at the acquisition date. The ANDA’s will be amortized in full over its useful life of seven years and will be tested for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. No such triggering events were identified during the period from the date of acquisition to March 31, 2023, and therefore no impairment loss was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

SEGMENT REPORTING
SEGMENT REPORTING	15. SEGMENT REPORTING An operating segment is defined as a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expense, its operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and its discrete financial information is available. We determined that we have two operating segments as follows: ​ ● Generics, Established Brands, and Other – Consists of operations related to the development, manufacturing, and marketing of generic and established brand pharmaceuticals, including those sold through traditional channels, contract manufactured products, product development services, royalties, and other. ​ ● Rare Disease – Consists of operations related to the development, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceuticals used in the treatment of patients with rare conditions. The rare disease segment currently consists of operations related to Cortrophin Gel. ​ Our CODM evaluates our two operating segments based on revenues and earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), exclusive of corporate expenses and other expenses not directly allocated or attributable to an operating segment. These expenses include, but are not limited to, certain management, legal, accounting, human resources, insurance, and information technology expenses. ​ We do not manage assets of the Company by operating segment and our CODM does not review asset information by operating segment. Accordingly, we do not present total assets by operating segment. ​ Financial information by reportable segment is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended March 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Net Revenues ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Generics, Established Brands, and Other ​ $ 90,456 ​ $ 63,185 Rare Disease ​ ​ 16,330 ​ ​ 1,292 Total net revenues ​ $ 106,786 ​ $ 64,477 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Segment earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and reconciliation to income (loss) before income taxes ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Generics, Established Brands, and Other ​ $ 38,828 ​ $ 14,531 Rare Disease ​ ​ (1,251) ​ ​ (10,448) Depreciation and amortization ​ ​ (14,700) ​ ​ (14,557) Corporate and other unallocated expenses (1) ​ ​ (12,982) ​ ​ (8,721) Total operating income (loss) ​ ​ 9,895 ​ ​ (19,195) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest expense, net ​ ​ (7,696) ​ ​ (6,613) Other expense, net ​ ​ (34) ​ ​ (89) Income (loss) before (provision) benefit for income taxes ​ $ 2,165 ​ $ (25,897) (1) Includes expenses not directly allocated or attributable to a reporting segment, including certain management, legal, accounting, human resources, insurance, and information technology expenses, and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in our unaudited interim consolidated statement of operations. ​ Geographic Information Our operations are currently located in the United States and India.

BUSINESS, PRESENTATION, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Organization and Business	Overview ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (together, “ANI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a diversified bio-pharmaceutical company serving patients in need by developing, manufacturing, and marketing high quality branded and generic prescription pharmaceuticals, including for diseases with high unmet medical need. Our team is focused on delivering growth by building a successful Cortrophin Gel franchise, strengthening our generics business with enhanced development capability, innovation in established brands and leveraging our manufacturing capabilities. Our three pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, of which two are located in Baudette, Minnesota, and one is located in East Windsor, New Jersey, are together capable of producing oral solid dose products, as well as semi-solids, liquids and topicals, controlled substances, and potent products that must be manufactured in a fully-contained environment. On June 2, 2022, we announced that we intended to cease operations at our Oakville, Ontario, Canada manufacturing plant by the end of the first quarter 2023. This action was part of ongoing initiatives to capture operational synergies following our acquisition of Novitium Pharma LLC (“Novitium”) in November 2021. As of March 31, 2023, we have completed the transition of the products manufactured or packaged in Oakville to one of our three U.S.-based manufacturing sites. We are seeking to find potential buyers for the Oakville site. Our operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, current and potential competitors with greater resources, dependence on significant customers, and possible fluctuations in financial results. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The propriety of using the going-concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, the achievement of future profitable operations, the ability to generate sufficient cash from operations, and potential other funding sources, including cash on hand, to meet our obligations as they become due. We believe the going-concern basis is appropriate for the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our current operating plan and business strategy for the 12 months following the issuance of this report. On November 19, 2021, the Company, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank and other lenders, which provides for credit facilities consisting of (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate commitment amount of $40.0 million, which may be used for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit (the “Revolving Facility,” and together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facility”).
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We believe that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes previously distributed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”).
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency	Foreign Currency We have ceased operations at a subsidiary in Oakville, Ontario, Canada as of March 31, 2023. We currently have a subsidiary located in India. The Canada-based subsidiary conducted its transactions in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars, but its functional currency was the U.S. dollar. The Indian-based subsidiary generally conducts its transactions in Indian rupees, which is also its functional currency. The results of any non-U.S. dollar transactions and balances are remeasured in U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates during the period and resulting foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of net income. Our gain or loss on transactions denominated in foreign currencies and the translation impact of local currencies to U.S. dollars was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Unless otherwise noted, all references to “$” or “dollar” refer to the U.S. dollar.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the condensed consolidated financial statements, estimates are used for, but not limited to, variable consideration determined based on accruals for chargebacks, administrative fees and rebates, government rebates, returns and other allowances, income tax provision or benefit, deferred taxes and valuation allowance, stock-based compensation, revenue recognition, allowance for inventory obsolescence, valuation of financial instruments and intangible assets, accruals for contingent liabilities, including contingent consideration in acquisitions, fair value of long-lived assets, determination of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, allowance for credit losses, and the depreciable lives of long-lived assets. Because of the uncertainties inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ from those estimates. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for reasonableness.
Restructuring Activities	Restructuring Activities We define restructuring activities to include costs directly associated with exit or disposal activities. Such costs include cash employee contractual severance and other termination benefits, one-time employee termination severance and benefits, contract termination charges, impairment and acceleration of depreciation associated with long-lived assets, and other exit or disposal costs. In general, we record involuntary employee- related exit and disposal costs when there is a substantive plan for employee severance and related payments are probable and estimable. For one-time termination benefits, including those with a service requirement, expense is recorded when the employees are entitled to receive such benefits and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Expense related to one-time termination benefits with a service requirement is recorded over time, as the service is completed. Contract termination fees and penalties, and other exit and disposal costs are generally recorded as incurred. Restructuring activities are recognized as an operating expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2022-06, which extended the sunset date of the reference rate reform in ASU 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. We have not adopted the guidance and are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. We have evaluated all other issued and unadopted Accounting Standards Updates and believe the adoption of these standards will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, balance sheets, or cash flows.
