Improve Your Family’s Summer Sleep Hygiene w/ Manta Sleep Masks (Refersion & Amazon)

Manta Sleep Mask KIDS, the World’s Comfiest Sleep Mask for Children

The world’s comfiest sleep mask for children, Manta Sleep Mask KIDS offers 100% blackout even in broad daylight, so little ones can fall asleep more easily and get better, deeper sleep. This kids’ sleep mask is infinitely adjustable for a perfect fit, year after year. It has a fully adjustable head strap and eye cups that allow for fine customization of its size. The mask also puts zero pressure on the eyelids or lashes. And the super-soft, hypoallergenic materials offer total comfort — whether they sleep on their back, side or stomach.

 

A generic kids’ sleep mask uses poor-quality materials and falls apart within weeks. In contrast, Manta Sleep Mask KIDS’ high-quality materials and durable build ensure that it will last for years. Manta Sleep Mask KIDS comes in 2 bold colors: arctic blue or periwinkle. From the fit to the materials to its striking, colorful design, every aspect of Manta Sleep Mask KIDS is engineered for kids. Retails for $29.00 at https://mantasleep.com/products/manta-kids-mask

 

Manta Sleep Mask

Manta Sleep Masks will help you get a great nap and enjoy a wonderful night of deep sleep. Manta Sleep Mask is the only mask designed, constructed and optimized for deepest-possible sleep in any environment. Great for naps, it provides 100% blackout for maximized sleep quality — so users feel 100%, all the time. Just a pinprick of light can disrupt REM and deep sleep, leading to post-sleep tiredness. That’s why Manta perfectly covers and conforms to the eyes to block 100% of light. Manta Sleep Mask retails for $39 on Amazon.

Introducing: Manta NAP Arc, a must for getting the power nap you deserve at work

We are so excited to announce that Manta Sleep, renowned for their world-class sleep masks, recently launched their much-anticipated new wellness essential for those who work in an office: the Manta NAP ArcThis napping essential will help you reclaim your right to rest, as it is crafted for easy, comfy power naps at your desk.

 

At home, your self-care game is solid. But at the office, you’re imprisoned by endless “quick” meetings and the constant subtle pressure to hustle and grind through your need for rest. That’s why we made NAP Arc: the ergonomic power nap pillow designed for your desk, so you can take a well-deserved break no matter where you’re working. Now, self-care goes where you go — as it should. This is our new normal.

 

Nap Arc is designed for quick setup, easy adjustability and ergonomic support. So you’re always only a few seconds away from a comfy power nap — right at your desk. Its intelligent arc design also means you waste zero time finding the right position for the quick, easy rest you deserve.

 

NAP Arc has an ultra-soft, stable structure that optimally supports your head and neck — so you wake up with zero neck strain. It’s crafted for comfort, so you get the same TLC at the office that you do at home — exactly as you should.

 

NAP Arc’s easy adjustability makes it the perfect fit for anyone who needs a good rest at the office just as they do at home. And adjusting the height is easy: pull the strap to increase it, tug at the G-hook to decrease it. It’s quick and effortless. It also features premium, high-quality materials and a reversible cover — so you can always switch to the cool side of the pillow, just like at home. The cover is also machine washable, so you can easily slide it off and throw it in the washing machine when needed.

 

Manta Sleep’s mission is to empower light sleepers to sleep better so they can do more. Manta Sleep believes great sleep is the non-negotiable foundation you need to create your best life. That it’s impossible to unlock your full potential if you’re not getting an afternoon nap every day. And that naps beat coffee hands down. Everything Manta Sleep creates is fueled by their drive to enable better lives through better sleep and regular naps.

Amneal reports first quarter 2023 financial results

‒ Q1 2023 Net Revenue of $558 million; GAAP Net Loss of $7 million; Diluted Loss per Share of $0.05 ‒

‒ Adjusted EBITDA (1) of $116 million; Adjusted Diluted EPS (1) of $0.12 ‒

‒ Affirming 2023 Full Year Guidance ‒

 

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMRX) “(Amneal” or the “Company)” on Friday announced its actual results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

 

“We are very pleased with our strong first quarter results and start to 2023. We are confident in our continued momentum driven by the broad-based strength of our diverse and increasingly complex generics portfolio, uptake of our new biosimilars, expansion of our AvKARE business, and the continued growth and potential of our specialty portfolio. Today we are also happy to announce the successful inspection of our fourth and largest injectables facility, and we are working closely with the U.S. FDA ahead of our June 30th PDUFA date for IPX203 in Parkinson’s. These are key building blocks and good indicators of our continued success as we execute our strategy, drive sustainable long-term growth, reduce debt, and create value for all of our stakeholders,” said Chirag and Chintu Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officers.

 

Net revenue in the first quarter of 2023 was $558 million, an increase of 12% compared to $498 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by growth across all three business segments with strong performance across our complex Generics portfolio, growth of Rytary® and Unithroid® in Specialty, and continued expansion of AvKARE’s distribution channel.

 

Net loss attributable to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was $7 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to a net loss of $2 million in the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the first quarter of 2023 was $116 million, an increase of 16% compared to the first quarter of 2022, reflective of robust revenue performance and favorable operating expenses. Diluted loss per share in the first quarter of 2023 was $0.05 compared to a loss of $0.01 for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted diluted EPS(1) in both the first quarter of 2023 and 2022 was $0.12.

 

(1) See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

The Company is affirming its previously provided full year 2023 guidance.

$500 million – $530 million

Adjusted diluted EPS (2)

$0.40 – $0.50

(4) Assumes the weighted average diluted shares outstanding of class A and class B common stock under the if-converted method.

 

Amneal’s 2023 estimates are based on management’s current expectations, including with respect to prescription trends, pricing levels, the timing of future product launches, the costs incurred and benefits realized of restructuring activities, and our long-term strategy. The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable measures in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. The items include, but are not limited to, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses and benefits, asset impairments, legal settlements, and other gains and losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.

 

Conference Call Information

Amneal will host a conference call and live webcast at 8:30 am Eastern Time on May 5, 2023 to discuss its results. The live webcast and presentation will be accessible through the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at https://investors.amneal.com.

Certain statements contained herein, regarding matters that are not historical facts, may be forward-looking statements (as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding management’s intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations, financial results, or forecasts for the future, including among other things: discussions of future operations, including international expansion; expected or estimated operating results and financial performance; the Company’s growth prospects and opportunities as well as its strategy for growth; product development and launches; the successful commercialization and market acceptance of new products, and other non-historical statements. Words such as “plans,” “expects,” “will,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” and similar words, or the negatives thereof, are intended to identify estimates and forward-looking statements.

 

The reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations of future events, including with respect to future market conditions, company performance and financial results, operational investments, business prospects, new strategies and growth initiatives, the competitive environment, and other events. If the underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from the expectations and projections of the Company.

 

Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully develop, license, acquire and commercialize new products on a timely basis; the competition we face in the pharmaceutical industry from brand and generic drug product companies, and the impact of that competition on our ability to set prices; our ability to obtain exclusive marketing rights for our products; our ability to manage our growth through acquisitions and otherwise; our revenues are derived from the sales of a limited number of products, a substantial portion of which are through a limited number of customers; the continuing trend of consolidation of certain customer groups; our dependence on third-party suppliers and distributors for raw materials for our products and certain finished goods; our substantial amount of indebtedness and our ability to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness in the future, and the impact of interest rate fluctuations on such indebtedness; our ability to secure satisfactory terms when negotiating a refinancing or other new indebtedness; our dependence on third-party agreements for a portion of our product offerings; legal, regulatory and legislative efforts by our brand competitors to deter competition from our generic alternatives; risks related to federal regulation of arrangements between manufacturers of branded and generic products; our reliance on certain licenses to proprietary technologies from time to time; the significant amount of resources we expend on research and development; the risk of product liability and other claims against us by consumers and other third parties; risks related to changes in the regulatory environment, including U.S. federal and state laws related to healthcare fraud abuse and health information privacy and security and changes in such laws; changes to Food and Drug Administration product approval requirements; the impact of healthcare reform and changes in coverage and reimbursement levels by governmental authorities and other third-party payers; our potential expansion into additional international markets subjecting us to increased regulatory, economic, social and political uncertainties, including bank failures; our ability to identify, make and integrate acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses and products on advantageous terms; the impact of global economic, political or other catastrophic events; our ability to attract, hire and retain highly skilled personnel; our obligations under a tax receivable agreement may be significant; and the high concentration of ownership of our Class A Common Stock and the fact that we are controlled by the Amneal Group. The forward-looking statements contained herein are also subject generally to other risks and uncertainties that are described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in its subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Forward-looking statements included herein speak only as of the date hereof and we undertake no obligation to revise or update such statements to reflect the occurrence of events or circumstances after the date hereof.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted diluted EPS, which are intended as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted diluted EPS reflects diluted earnings per share based on adjusted net income, which is net loss adjusted to (A) exclude (i) non-cash interest, (ii) GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) acquisition, site closure expenses, and idle facility expenses, (vi) restructuring and other charges, (vii) charges (credits) related to legal matters, including interest, net, (viii) asset impairment charges, (ix) regulatory approval milestone, (x) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (xi) other, (xii) net income attributable to non-controlling interests not associated with class B common stock, and (B) include non-GAAP provision for income taxes. Non-GAAP adjusted EPS is calculated assuming the weighted average diluted shares outstanding of class A and class B common stock under the if-converted method.

 

Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations and to better understand its business because they facilitate a comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance relative to its performance based on results calculated under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures also isolate the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance and eliminate certain charges that management believes do not reflect the Company’s operations and underlying operational performance. The compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors also uses certain of these measures to evaluate management’s performance and set its compensation. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures also provide useful information to investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and operating results facilitates an evaluation of the financial performance of the Company and its operations on a consistent basis. Providing this information therefore allows investors to make independent assessments of the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and trends while viewing the information through the eyes of management.

 

These non-GAAP measures are subject to limitations. The non-GAAP measures presented in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because other companies may not calculate one or more in the same manner. Additionally, the non-GAAP performance measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements; do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and do not reflect interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt. Further, our historical adjusted results are not intended to project our adjusted results of operations or financial position for any future period. To compensate for these limitations, management presents and considers these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP results; no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation from or as alternatives to any measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Readers should review the reconciliations included below, and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.

 

A reconciliation of each historical non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is set forth below.

Traverse City Whiskey Co. nominated as a ‘Best in Class’ finalist, awarded three double gold medals at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition

Amongst Thousands of Entries, TCWC’s Barrel Proof Bourbon Once Again Selected as a Top Three Finalist For “Best Small Batch Bourbon,” Which it Won in 2019

 

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — #barrellproofryeTraverse City Whiskey Co. (TCWC), a true small batch distillery handcrafting a portfolio of premium whiskies and bourbons in Up North Michigan, announced that three of its signature products – Barrel Proof Bourbon Whiskey, Barrel Proof Rye Whiskey and Sherry Barrel Finished Bourbon – were awarded Double Gold medals at the prestigious 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Additionally, TCWC’s Barrel Proof Bourbon was named a Finalist for “Best Small Batch Bourbon,” an award which it won in 2019.


TCWC’s Barrel Proof Bourbon Whiskey has quickly become a must have for premium bourbon lovers. It has a truly exhilarating taste, like hugging a bear, but way less dangerous. It contains a mashbill of 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley that was aged for 10 years and bottled at 120.2 proof (60.1% ABV). The bourbon presents a deep, oaky body with sweet and nutty flavors of burnt caramel and dark chocolate, a smooth and creamy mouthfeel, and a long finish. SRP $80.

 

The company’s Barrel Proof Rye is the newest addition to the company’s already impressive lineup. Imagine a red-bearded pirate crying tears of joy after seeing land for the first time in 10 years. That’s the feeling whiskey lovers can expect when drinking it. The expression has a mashbill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. The expression was aged for six years and bottled at 116.6 proof (58.3% ABV). The whiskey showcases a classic rye spice alongside a rich oak flavor, an effervescent aroma of baking spices, notes of allspice, black peppercorns and sage, and a warm buttery finish. SRP $80.

 

The Sherry Barrel Finished Bourbon tastes like a classy Cinco de Mayo party in your mouth. It is part of TCWC’s new “Finishing Series” that features a unique high-rye bourbon whiskey with a mashbill of 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% malted barley. The whiskey was aged for five years in new American Oak barrels and then rested in Pedro Ximenez sherry wine casks for nearly 12 months and bottled at 95 proof (47.5% ABV). It exemplifies notes of caramel, sassafras, cinnamon, raisins, and vanilla bean, with a mild finish of toasted rye bread and tobacco. SRP $60.

 

“It’s an absolute thrill to have our signature Barrel Proof Bourbon and Rye whiskeys receive Double Gold, and an honor to be a finalist for ‘Best Small Batch Bourbon’ for the second time,” said Chris Fredrickson, Co-founder, TCWC. “We’re also thrilled that our Sherry Barrel Finished whiskey, one of our newest products, also earned Double Gold.”

 

TCWC draws upon its early family roots in the distilled spirits industry dating back to the late 1800s, sourcing their grains from the Midwest. The distilling team, led by Chris Fredrickson, strives to make quality products, inspired by patented distilling techniques invented by Fredrickson’s great grandfather that were approved by the US PTO during the prohibition era.

 

TCWC products are available in 750ml bottles at both on- and off-premise establishments in the following markets: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, Washington DC, Wisconsin.
