Mylan CEO Heather Bresch commented, "We are off to a great start in 2016 with our strong first quarter results delivering year-over-year constant currency total revenues growth of 19% and adjusted diluted EPS growth of 9%. We showed again the strength and resilience of Mylan’s diverse, global platform, with double digit revenue growth in Europe, Rest of World and Specialty and high single digit revenue growth in North America. Based on our first quarter performance, we remain highly confident in our guidance and our business outlook for the full year 2016. Despite much external focus and discussion of the pricing environment, consistent with our previously communicated 2016 guidance and given Mylan’s position as a large-scale, differentiated player, we continue to see nothing out of the ordinary to change our generic pricing assumptions of low- to mid-single digit erosion for the full year.
Almost a decade ago, we laid out our vision and strategy for growth and our belief that it would come from both organic and inorganic initiatives to create unmatched scale in manufacturing, broad breadth in our product portfolio, and expansion across all geographic territories – all with the aim of achieving our mission of providing access to medicine to patients around the world. We are excited about our pending acquisition of Meda, which will further strengthen and diversify our business in terms of product portfolio, customer channels, and geography, and position us for continued growth and value creation over the near- and long-term. I am pleased to note that Meda’s Q1 2016 earnings results reported this morning were in-line with our modeled expectations for the business, and we remain fully committed to and look forward to closing this transaction."

*Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, the Company reclassified sales from its Brazilian operation from the Rest of World region to the North America region. The amount reclassified for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $10.2 million.
Generics Segment Revenues
Generics segment third party net sales were $1.93 billion for the quarter, an increase of 17% when compared to the prior year period. When translating third party net sales for the current quarter at prior year comparative period exchange rates ("constant currency"), third party net sales increased by 19%.
Third party net sales from North America were $919.7 million for the quarter, an increase of 8% when compared to the prior year period. This increase was principally due to net sales from products launched since April 1, 2015 ("new products"), and to a lesser extent, incremental net sales from our established products. Factors offsetting this increase were lower sales on existing products. Constant currency third party net sales from North America increased by 8%.
Third party net sales from Europe were $587.7 million for the quarter, an increase of 45% when compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of incremental net sales from our established products as well as new products. Higher volumes on existing products, primarily in France, were offset by lower pricing throughout Europe, due to government-imposed pricing reductions and competitive market conditions. Constant currency third party net sales from Europe increased by 47%.
Third party net sales from Rest of World were $420.8 million for the quarter, an increase of 10% when compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by incremental net sales from established products, net sales by Jai Pharma Limited (certain female healthcare businesses acquired from Famy Care Limited), and to a lesser extent, new product launches across the region. Higher volumes in Japan and Australia also contributed to the increase. These increases were partially offset by lower pricing throughout the region and a decrease in third party net sales volumes from our operations in India, in particular the anti-retroviral ("ARV") franchise. Constant currency third party net sales from Rest of World increased by 15%.
Specialty Segment Revenues
Specialty segment reported third party net sales were $247.9 million for the quarter, an increase of 17% when compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of higher volumes of the EpiPen Auto-Injector and higher sales of the Perforomist Inhalation Solution.
Total Gross Profit
Adjusted gross profit was $1.18 billion and adjusted gross margins were 54% for the quarter as compared to adjusted gross profit of $990.6 million and adjusted gross margins of 53% in the comparable prior year period. The current quarter increase was primarily due to the incremental contribution from established products in the first quarter of 2016 as well as new product introductions, partially offset by decreased margins on existing products in North America. U.S. GAAP gross profit was $907.0 million and $830.1 million for the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. U.S. GAAP gross margins were 41% and 44% in the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in gross margins relates principally to additional amortization expense related to acquisitions completed during 2015.
Total Profitability
Adjusted earnings from operations for the quarter were $490.1 million, up 14% from the comparable prior year period. U.S. GAAP earnings from operations were $105.6 million for the quarter, a decrease of 34% from the comparable prior year period. R&D expense on an adjusted basis increased primarily as a result of the continued development of our respiratory, insulin and biologics programs. U.S. GAAP R&D expense also increased primarily as a result of an upfront payment made to Momenta for $45 million related to the Company’s collaboration agreement. SG&A expense on a U.S. GAAP and adjusted basis primarily increased due to the incremental expense related to the established products.
EBITDA, which is defined as net earnings (excluding the non-controlling interest and losses from equity method investees) plus income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, was $417.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, and $340.5 million for the comparable prior year quarter. Adjusted net earnings attributable to Mylan N.V. increased by $77.2 million to $386.3 million compared to $309.1 million for the prior year comparable period. U.S. GAAP net earnings attributable to Mylan N.V. decreased by $42.7 million to $13.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $56.6 million for the comparable prior year period. After adjusting for certain items as further detailed in the reconciliation below, adjusted EBITDA was $583.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and $504.6 million for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted diluted EPS increased 9% to $0.76 compared to $0.70 in the prior year comparable period. U.S. GAAP diluted EPS decreased from $0.13 to $0.03 as a result of higher operating expenses, including amortization expense related to acquisitions completed during 2015.

Adjusted cash provided by operating activities was $202 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $336 million for the comparable prior year period.

Capital expenditures were approximately $52 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to approximately $48 million for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted free cash flow was $150 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $288 million in the prior year period.
