Reported loss from continuing operations in third-quarter 2023 was $28 million compared to reported loss from continuing operations of $718 million in third-quarter 2022. This change was primarily due to lower litigation-related and asset impairment charges and lower interest expense as a result of the August 2022 Chapter 11 filing.
Adjusted income from continuing operations in third-quarter 2023 was $131 million compared to $112 million in third-quarter 2022. This change was primarily driven by lower interest and adjusted operating expenses which were partially offset by decreased revenues.
BRANDED PHARMACEUTICALS SEGMENT
Third-quarter 2023 Branded Pharmaceuticals segment revenues were $203 million compared to $204 million during third-quarter 2022.
Specialty Products revenues increased 3% to $150 million in third-quarter 2023 compared to $146 million in third-quarter 2022. This change was primarily due to an increase in XIAFLEX® and Other Specialty revenues, partially offset by a decrease in SUPPRELIN® LA revenues mainly driven by lower average net selling price as a result of business mix and lower overall market volumes. Third-quarter 2023 XIAFLEX® revenues were $113 million, a 9% increase compared to third-quarter 2022 driven by increased net selling price and increased volumes.
Established Products revenues decreased 7% to $53 million in third-quarter 2023 compared to $57 million in third-quarter 2022 due primarily to product discontinuations.
STERILE INJECTABLES SEGMENT
Third-quarter 2023 Sterile Injectables segment revenues were $95 million, a decrease of 20% compared to $119 million during third-quarter 2022. This change was primarily attributable to decreased VASOSTRICT® revenues due to lower price resulting from generic competition.
GENERIC PHARMACEUTICALS SEGMENT
Third-quarter 2023 Generic Pharmaceuticals segment revenues were $134 million, a decrease of 33% compared to $201 million during third-quarter 2022. This decrease was primarily attributable to competitive pressure on varenicline tablets, the generic version of Chantix®, and lubiprostone capsules, the authorized generic of Mallinckrodt’s Amitiza®, partially offset by revenue from dexlansoprazole delayed release capsules, the generic version of Dexilant®, which launched during fourth-quarter 2022.
During third-quarter 2023, two additional generic varenicline competitors entered the market, and an additional competitor entered in early fourth-quarter 2023.
INTERNATIONAL PHARMACEUTICALS SEGMENT
Third-quarter 2023 International Pharmaceuticals segment revenues were $19 million, essentially unchanged compared to $18 million during third-quarter 2022.
