Mylan CEO Heather Bresch said: "Mylan's third quarter performance was in line with our expectations and we delivered solid year-over-year growth. Our confidence in the company's bright future extends well beyond any single factor or particular quarter, including the current, short-term macro market turbulence our industry is experiencing. Year-to-date, we have launched nearly 475 new products across our segments, including a record number of complex generics and biosimilars for Mylan. These medicines represent many different therapeutic categories, channels and dosage forms.

We remain committed to our full-year 2018 guidance, and this confirmation is not dependent on any single product approval or launch. As we look ahead, we're very optimistic about our long-term growth prospects as we have secured almost all regulatory approvals necessary for our key 2019 product drivers around the world."

Mylan President Rajiv Malik continued: "This record year of scientific accomplishments represents a significant milestone in the company's nearly 60-year history. Our recent successes demonstrate the strength of our scientific platform and our ability to manage and execute on new products, including complex generics and biologics. These milestones are the culmination of years-long scientific investments and reinforce our dedication to enhance access to patients. The Mylan teams managing the science and working closely with our partners have consistently delivered remarkable results, and we look forward to continuing this momentum as we close out 2018."

Mylan CFO Ken Parks added: "Mylan continues to generate strong cash flow with more than $2.0 billion of adjusted free cash flow for the first nine months of 2018, up 6% from the prior year and a healthy 119% of adjusted net earnings of $1.7 billion. We remain confident in our full year adjusted free cash flow outlook. As anticipated, our capital deployment priority is focused on deleveraging in the second half of 2018, and we expect this to continue into 2019.  We intend to repay at least $1.2 billion of debt maturing through year end 2019 and remain fully committed to maintaining our investment grade credit rating."

Financial Summary

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") completed an inspection at Mylan's plant in Morgantown, West Virginia earlier this year and made observations through a Form 483. The Company has submitted a comprehensive response to the FDA and committed to a robust improvement plan. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company commenced a restructuring and remediation program aimed at reducing complexity at the Morgantown manufacturing facility. The program includes the discontinuation and transfer to other manufacturing sites of a number of products, a reduction of the workforce and extensive remediation activities. These actions have led to a temporary disruption in supply of certain products.

Once the remediation and restructuring activities in Morgantown are completed, the Company anticipates improved costs, efficiencies and profitability from the operations at the plant. The value and profitability related to the rationalized products is not proportionate to the reduced volumes of those products as the Company expects that manufacturing costs related to transferred products will be reduced and many of the discontinued products have lower than average gross margins. In addition, as it relates to North America, no significant new product revenue is forecasted from the Morgantown facility in 2019, and only eight of our top 50 gross margin generating products and only one out of the top 10 are currently manufactured in Morgantown.

The Company has incurred expenses amounting to approximately $97.7 million and $184.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, for incremental manufacturing variances, site remediation and restructuring charges. Mylan remains committed to maintaining the highest quality manufacturing standards at its facilities around the world and to continuous improvement in a time of evolving industry dynamics and regulatory expectations.

On August 31, 2018, the Company completed an agreement with certain subsidiaries of Novartis AG ("Novartis") to purchase the worldwide rights to their global cystic fibrosis products consisting of the TOBI Podhaler® and TOBI® solution. Tobramycin is the standard of care for treatment of pseudomonas aeruginosa, a leading driver of infection in cystic fibrosis.  These products further strengthen our existing presence in cystic fibrosis, especially with our Creon Franchise in Europe, Australia, Japan and Canada.  The asset acquisition allows us to further extend our respiratory franchise into rare/orphan disease indications and broaden our portfolio into dry powdered inhalers and nebulized products. Tobi Podhaler ™ is manufactured using a proprietary Pulmosphere technology for which we have acquired exclusive rights for use, hence we expect a high barrier for generic entry.

Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Total revenues were $2.86 billion, compared to $2.99 billion for the comparable prior year period, representing a decrease of $124.7 million, or 4%. Total revenues include both net sales and other revenues from third parties. Net sales for the current quarter were $2.83 billion, compared to $2.96 billion for the comparable prior year period, representing a decrease of $129.0 million, or 4%. Other revenues for the current quarter were $35.1 million, compared to $30.8 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $4.3 million.

The decrease in total revenues included lower net sales in the North America segment of 14%. This decrease was partially offset by increased net sales in the Rest of World segment of 4%. Net sales in the Europe segment were essentially flat. The overall decrease in total revenues was primarily driven by a decrease in net sales from existing products. Net sales from existing products, partially offset by new product launches, decreased on a constant currency basis by approximately $14.6 million primarily as a result of lower volumes, and to a lesser extent, pricing. Net sales were also negatively impacted by approximately $39.8 million due to the adoption of new accounting standards. Mylan's total revenues were unfavorably impacted by the effect of foreign currency translation, primarily reflecting changes in the U.S. Dollar as compared to the currencies of Mylan's subsidiaries in India, Australia and the European Union. The unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation on current quarter total revenues was approximately $75.0 million, resulting in a decrease in constant currency total revenues of approximately $49.7 million, or 2%.

• Net sales in the North Americasegment totaled $1.01 billion in the current quarter, a decrease of $159.9 million or 14% when compared to the prior year period. This decrease was due primarily to lower volumes on existing products, including the EpiPen® Auto-Injector, partially offset by new product sales including the recent launch of Fulphila™, a biosimilar to Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim). The decline in volumes was primarily driven by the timing of purchases of our products by customers, the divestiture of certain contract manufacturing assets, the loss of exclusivity of a product, and actions associated with the restructuring and remediation program at the Morgantown manufacturing facility. In addition, net sales were negatively impacted by approximately $50.4 million related to the implementation of new accounting standards. Pricing slightly decreased when compared to the prior year period. The impact of foreign currency translation on current period net sales was insignificant within North America.
• Net sales in theEuropesegment totaled $1.04 billion in the current quarter, an increase of $0.5 million, when compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of new product sales and higher volumes on existing products. These were partially offset by lower pricing and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation which was approximately $17.2 million, or 2%. Constant currency net sales increased by approximately $17.7 million, or 2% when compared to the prior year period.
• Net sales in the Rest of World segment totaled $773.7 million in the current quarter, an increase of $30.4 million, or 4% when compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of new product sales, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation and lower pricing. The increase in net sales as a result of new products was primarily due to new product sales from the Company's anti-retroviral therapy franchise combined with new product sales in Australia and China. Also, volumes were essentially flat as an increase in sales of key brands in China was offset by decreases in other markets. Overall, net sales from Rest of World were unfavorably impacted by the effect of foreign currency translation by approximately $55.0 million, or 7% during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Constant currency net sales increased by approximately $85.4 million, or 11%.

U.S. GAAP gross profit was $1.04 billion and $1.18 billion for the third quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively. U.S. GAAP gross margins were 36% and 39% in the third quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively. U.S. GAAP gross margins were negatively impacted by approximately 230 basis points related to the incremental amortization from product acquisitions and in-process research and development ("IPR&D") impairment charges. Gross margins were also negatively affected by approximately 340 basis points as a result of incremental manufacturing expenses, site remediation expenses and incremental restructuring charges incurred during the current quarter principally as a result of the activities at the Company's Morgantown facility. In addition, gross margins were negatively impacted in the current quarter as a result of lower gross profit from the sales of existing products in North America. The unfavorable impact of these items was partially offset by the impact from new product sales and the impact of incremental sales of certain key global brands. Adjusted gross profit was $1.58 billion and adjusted gross margins were 55% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to adjusted gross profit of $1.57 billion and adjusted gross margins of 53% in the prior year period. Adjusted gross margins were favorably impacted by new product sales and the impact of incremental sales of certain global key brands.

R&D expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $144.1 million, compared to $182.3 million for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $38.2 million. This decrease was primarily due to lower expenditures related to the Company's respiratory programs, lower expenses due to the reprioritization of global programs, and to higher payments in the prior year period related to licensing arrangements for products in development.

SG&A expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $577.3 million, compared to $664.1 million for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $86.8 million. The decrease is due to ongoing integration activities and reduced share-based compensation expense primarily due to the Company's determination that it was no longer probable that the minimum performance condition would be met and the reversal of all of the remaining cumulative expense related to the Company's One-Time Special Performance-Based Five-Year Realizable Value Incentive Program (the "2014 Program") that resulted in the Company recognizing a net reduction in share-based compensation expense of approximately $27.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018. In addition, the Company experienced lower restructuring and acquisition-related expenses in the current quarter when compared to the prior year period.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a net gain of $20.4 million in Litigation settlements and other contingencies, net compared to a net charge of $15.2 million in the comparable prior year period. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $19.3 million for a fair value adjustment related to the contingent consideration for the acquisition of the exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize a generic equivalent to GlaxoSmithKline's Advair® Diskus and Seretide® Diskus incorporating Pfizer Inc.'s proprietary dry powder inhaler delivery platform (the "respiratory delivery platform"). The fair value adjustment was the result of changes to assumptions relating to the timing of product launch along with other competitive and market factors. The net charge in the prior year period consists primarily of an increase to a litigation accrual for an anti-trust related matter.

U.S. GAAP net earnings increased by $88.4 million to $176.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $88.3 million for the prior year period and U.S. GAAP EPS increased from $0.16 in the prior year period to $0.34 in the current quarter. The Company recognized a U.S. GAAPincome tax provision of $15.5 million, compared to a U.S. GAAP income tax provision of $91.3 million for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted net earnings increased to $648.0 million compared to $589.7 million for the prior year period. Adjusted EPS increased to $1.25 from $1.10 in the prior year period.

EBITDA was $841.6 million for the current quarter and $776.9 million for the comparable prior year period. After adjusting for certain items as further detailed in the reconciliation below, adjusted EBITDA was $935.9 million for the current quarter and $923.8 million for the comparable prior year period.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Financial Results

Total Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $8.36 billion, compared to $8.67 billion for the comparable prior year period, representing a decrease of $313.6 million, or 4%. Total revenues include both net sales and other revenues from third parties. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $8.23 billion, compared to $8.57 billion for the comparable prior year period, representing a decrease of $337.0 million, or 4%. Other revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $122.0 million, compared to $98.6 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in other revenues was primarily the result of consideration received from a license of intellectual property during the current year period.

The decrease in total revenues included lower net sales in the North America segment of 18%. This decrease was partially offset by increased net sales in the Europe segment of 6%, and in the Rest of World segment of 7%. The overall decrease in total revenues was primarily driven by a decrease in net sales from existing products. Net sales from existing products, partially offset by new product sales, decreased on a constant currency basis by approximately $426.5 million primarily as a result of lower volumes, and to a lesser extent, pricing. Net sales were also negatively impacted by approximately $64.4 million due to the adoption of new accounting standards. Mylan's total revenues were favorably impacted by the effect of foreign currency translation, primarily reflecting changes in the U.S. Dollar as compared to the currencies of Mylan's subsidiaries in the European Union, the United Kingdom and Japan. The favorable impact of foreign currency translation on current year total revenues was approximately $156.4 million. On a constant currency basis, the decline in total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $470.0 million, or 5%.

• Net sales from North America segment totaled $3.00 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $668.3 million or 18% when compared to the prior year period. This decrease was due primarily to lower volumes on existing products, including the EpiPen® Auto-Injector, partially offset by new product sales. The decline in volumes was primarily driven by the timing of purchases of our products by customers, the divestiture of certain contract manufacturing assets, the loss of exclusivity of certain products, and actions associated with the restructuring and remediation program at the Morgantown manufacturing facility. In addition, net sales were negatively impacted by $99.1 million related to the implementation of new accounting standards. Pricing also declined when compared to the prior year. The impact of foreign currency translation on current period net sales was insignificant within North America.
• Net sales from Europe segment totaled $3.07 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $183.2 million or 6% when compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, new product sales, and to a lesser extent, higher volumes of existing products. The favorable impact of foreign currency translation was approximately $184.0 million or 6%. Partially offsetting these items was lower pricing on existing products. Constant currency net sales were essentially flat compared to the prior year period.
• Net sales from Rest of World segment totaled $2.16 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $148.1 million or 7% when compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of new product sales, and to a lesser extent, higher volumes of existing products including higher sales of key brands in China. The increase in net sales as a result of new products was primarily due to new product sales from the Company's anti-retroviral therapy franchise combined with new product sales in Australia, Japan and China. This increase was partially offset by lower pricing on existing products and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation. Overall, net sales from Rest of World were unfavorably impacted by the effect of foreign currency translation of approximately $33.4 million, or 2%. Constant currency net sales increased by approximately $181.5 million or 9% when compared to the prior year period.

U.S. GAAP gross profit was $2.99 billion and $3.49 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. U.S. GAAP gross margins were 36% and 40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. U.S. GAAP gross margins were negatively impacted by approximately 260 basis points related to the incremental amortization from product acquisitions and IPR&D impairment charges. Gross margins were also negatively affected by approximately 220 basis points as a result of incremental manufacturing expenses, site remediation expenses and incremental restructuring charges incurred during the current period principally as a result of the activities at the Company's Morgantown facility. In addition, gross margins were negatively impacted in the current quarter as a result of lower gross profit from the sales of existing products in North America. The unfavorable impact of these items was partially offset by the favorable impact from new product sales. Adjusted gross profit was $4.50 billion and adjusted gross margins were 54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to adjusted gross profit of $4.62 billion and adjusted gross margins of 53% in the prior year period.

R&D expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $555.7 million, compared to $580.9 million for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $25.2 million. This decrease was primarily due to lower expenditures related to the Company's respiratory programs, and lower expenses due to the reprioritization of global programs. Partially offsetting this decrease were slightly higher payments in the current year related to licensing arrangements for products in development which totaled approximately $100.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to approximately $89.9 million in the prior year period.

SG&A expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $1.81 billion, compared to $1.92 billion for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $107.3 million. The decrease is primarily due to ongoing integration activities, lower acquisition-related costs of approximately $41.8 million, and reduced share-based compensation expense primarily due to the reversal of all of the remaining cumulative expense related to the 2014 Program that resulted in the Company recognizing a net reduction in share-based compensation expense of approximately $50.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense of approximately $23.0 million primarily related to a special business interruption event for one customer.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a net gain of $50.6 million in Litigation settlements and other contingencies, net compared to a net gain of $25.8 million in the comparable prior year period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized a net gain of $49.3 million for fair value adjustments related to the respiratory delivery platform contingent consideration. The fair value adjustments were the net result of changes to assumptions relating to the timing of product launch along with other competitive and market factors. In addition, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $14.7 million related to a favorable litigation settlement, which was partially offset by litigation related charges of approximately $13.3 million, primarily related to an anti-trust matter and a patent infringement matter. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $88.1 million for fair value adjustments related to the contingent consideration for the respiratory delivery platform. Offsetting this gain were accruals of approximately $52.5 million primarily related to the modafinil and EpiPen® Auto-Injector litigation matters and an accrual increase related to an anti-trust related matter. In addition, a fair value loss of $9.9 million related to the contingent consideration related to the acquisition of certain female healthcare businesses from Famy Care Limited was recognized during the prior year period.

Conference Call and Earnings Materials

Mylan N.V. will host a conference call and live webcast, today at 5:00 p.m. ET, to review the Company's financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018. The briefing can be accessed live by calling 800.514.4861 or 678.809.2405 for international callers (ID#: 9798175) or at the following address on the company's website: investor.mylan.com. The "Q3 2018 Earnings Call" presentation, which will be referenced during the call can be found at investor.mylan.com. A replay of the webcast will also be available on the website.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the presentation and discussion of certain financial information that differs from what is reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, adjusted EPS, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margins, adjusted net earnings, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted R&D and as a % of total revenues, adjusted SG&A and as a % of total revenues, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted free cash flow, constant currency total revenues and constant currency net sales are presented in order to supplement investors' and other readers' understanding and assessment of the financial performance of Mylan N.V. ("Mylan" or the "Company"). Management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting, measuring its operating performance, and incentive-based awards. In addition, primarily due to acquisitions, Mylan believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its financial results were limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for our investors and when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations. The financial performance of the Company is measured by senior management, in part, using the adjusted metrics included herein, along with other performance metrics. Management's annual incentive compensation is derived, in part, based on the adjusted EPS metric and the adjusted free cash flow metric. In addition, the Company believes that including EBITDA and supplemental adjustments applied in presenting adjusted EBITDA and Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) pursuant to our Credit Agreements is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate the Company's ability to comply with financial debt covenants and assess the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness. We also report sales performance using the non-GAAP financial measures of "constant currency" total revenues and net sales. These measures provide information on the change in total revenues and net sales assuming that foreign currency exchange rates had not changed between the prior and current period. The comparisons presented at constant currency rates reflect comparative local currency sales at the prior year's foreign exchange rates. We routinely evaluate our net sales and total revenues performance at constant currency so that sales results can be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating a period-to-period comparison of our operational activities, and believe that this presentation also provides useful information to investors for the same reason. The "Summary of Total Revenues by Segment" table below compares net sales on an actual and constant currency basis for each reportable segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 as well as for total revenues. Also, set forth below, Mylan has provided reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures set forth below, and investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

For additional information regarding the components and uses of Non-GAAP financial measures refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-- Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of Mylan's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2018 (the "Form 10-Q").

Mylan is not providing forward looking guidance for U.S. GAAP reported financial measures or a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, acquisition-related expenses including those related to the acquisition of Meda AB (publ.), restructuring expenses, asset impairments, litigation settlements and other contingencies, including changes to contingent consideration and certain other gains or losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period.

Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Below is a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net earnings to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the respective quarterly periods (in millions):

September 30, 2018 Notional Debt to Twelve Months Ended September 30, 2018 Mylan N.V. Adjusted EBITDA as calculated under our Credit Agreements ("Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA") Leverage Ratio

The stated non-GAAP financial measure September 30, 2018 notional debt to twelve months ended September 30, 2018 Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio is based on the sum of (i) Mylan's adjusted EBITDA for the quarters ended December 31, 2017, March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018 and (ii) certain adjustments permitted to be included in Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA as of September 30, 2018 pursuant to the Company's revolving credit facility dated as of July 27, 2018 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among Mylan Inc., as borrower, the Company, as guarantor, certain affiliates and subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto as guarantors, each lender from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and the Company's term loan credit facility dated as of November 22, 2016 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among the Company, certain affiliates and subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto as guarantors, each lender from time to time party thereto and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent (together, the "Credit Agreements") as compared to Mylan's September 30, 2018 total debt and other current obligations at notional amounts.

Long-term average debt to Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio target of ~3.0x

The stated forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure, targeted long term average leverage of ~3.0x debt-to-Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA, is based on the ratio of (i) targeted long-term average debt, and (ii) targeted long-term Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA. However, the Company has not quantified future amounts to develop the target but has stated its goal to manage long-term average debt and adjusted earnings and EBITDA over time in order to generally maintain the target. This target does not reflect Company guidance.
