- For 2026, Amphastar Pharmaceuticals projects mid-to-high single-digit consolidated revenue growth, primarily driven by the Ipratropium Bromide launch and continued unit growth for BAQSIMI and Primatene MIST, though gross margins are expected to be lower. The company also plans to continue its stock buyback program.

- BAQSIMI® maintained its momentum as a top revenue driver with sustained double-digit growth, primarily due to increased unit volumes and continued marketing efforts.

- General and administrative expenses for the full year 2025 increased significantly, primarily due to a $23.1 million legal settlement.

- Amphastar Pharmaceuticals is undergoing a pipeline evolution, targeting a 2026 product mix of 50% proprietary, 35% biosimilar, and 15% generic, a significant shift from 63% generic five years prior.
- The company provided a 2026 revenue growth outlook of mid-single digit to low double digits, primarily driven by the anticipated mid-2026 launch of AMP-007, continued growth from Baqsimi and Primatene Mist, and full-year sales of Teriparatide and iron sucrose.
- Baqsimi peak sales guidance was reiterated at $250-$275 million, with expected mid-single digit growth in 2026, including low double-digit growth in the U.S. and a planned withdrawal from unprofitable international markets.
- The proprietary pipeline includes new peptide products such as AMP-105 (oncology), AMP-107 (ophthalmic), AMP-109 (cancer PDC), and the recently licensed AMP-110 (synthetic corticotropin), supported by an annual R&D investment of $60 million to $75 million.

- Baqsimi, acquired in 2023, is projected to achieve peak sales of $250-$275 million, with mid-single digit growth anticipated in 2026 driven by U.S. expansion and strategic withdrawal from unprofitable international markets.

- For 2026, the company projects mid-single digit to low double-digit revenue growth, primarily driven by the anticipated mid-year launch of AMP-007, full-year sales of teriparatide and iron sucrose, and continued growth from Primatene Mist and vaccine sales.
- Baqsimi peak sales guidance remains at $250-$275 million, with mid-single digit growth expected in 2026, and is forecasted to contribute $2-$2.50 of incremental EPS at peak. The company plans to exit unprofitable international markets for Baqsimi in the latter half of 2026 to improve margin profile.

- Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. entered into an exclusive license agreement with Nanjing Hanxin Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. for AMP-110, a fully synthetic corticotropin compound, for the United States and Canada.
- Under the agreement, dated January 6, 2026, Amphastar made an upfront payment of $2 million and is obligated to pay up to $14 million in development milestone payments and up to $75 million in sales milestone payments.
- Hanxin will also receive royalty payments, capped at $7.5 million annually and a maximum accumulated amount of $60 million.
- AMP-110 targets inflammatory and autoimmune conditions in a U.S. ACTH market that exceeded $684 million annually in 2024.
- The agreement involves related party transactions due to beneficial ownership in Hanxin by Amphastar's CEO and COO, which were approved by the Audit Committee.
- Amphastar is strategically shifting its pipeline to achieve 50% proprietary products by 2026, which is expected to lead to an increase in R&D spend.

- Looking further ahead, the insulin aspart biosimilar is anticipated as a significant growth opportunity for 2027.

- The company projects high single to low double-digit top-line growth in 2026, primarily driven by the anticipated launch of AMP-007 (a potential first-to-market generic), continued significant growth from Baqsimi, and contributions from Primatene Mist, Teriparatide, and Iron Sucrose.
- Baqsimi currently holds almost 60% of the ready-to-use glucagon market and benefits from patent protection extending to 2036 and 2039.
- R&D spend is expected to increase due to proprietary product development, while cost optimization efforts are underway. The company is comfortable with debt leverage up to four times for potential M&A, particularly for late-stage or on-market assets in endocrinology.
- Looking to 2027, Insulin Aspart (biosimilar) is highlighted as a significant opportunity, with one to two product filings expected in 2026, including a potential first-to-market inhalation product and biosimilars.
