Mylan Increases Third Quarter and Full Year 2014 Adjusted Diluted EPS Guidance Range

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mylan Inc. (Nasdaq: MYL) today announced that it expects third quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.12 to $1.16 per share, an increase from the previously communicated third quarter range of $0.90 to $0.95 per share. This increased guidance range is due in part to stronger than anticipated third quarter operational performance, supported by multiple product approvals and launches in the U.S. during the quarter.

The increased guidance range for the third quarter also includes approximately $0.14 per share as a result of an agreement with Strides Arcolab Limited. Mylan recognized compensation, and the resulting positive impact on cash, for lost revenues in 2014 arising from supply disruptions that resulted from on-going quality-enhancement activities initiated at certain Agila facilities prior to Mylan's acquisition of Agila from Strides in 2013.

Based on the company's strong third quarter operational performance and anticipated fourth quarter results, Mylan is increasing its previously communicated adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance range for the full year from $3.25 to 3.45 per share to $3.44 to $3.54 per share.  This revised range excludes potential launches of generic Copaxone® and generic Lidoderm®.
