Risks
- Market supply normalization has made year-over-year comparisons difficult for ADHD. - Payer changes and varying Medicaid coverage dynamics pose challenges for the Pediatric portfolio. - The transition from in-house manufacturing to contract manufacturing has caused noise in gross margin in the current quarters as inventory from the former Grand Prairie Facility is sold through.
