Quarter ended December 31, 2022* Highlights ? compared to December 31, 2021

Net sales of $139.2 million was line with the prior year quarter. We continue to experience price pressures particularly in the U.S. generic business.
Gross profit of $64.0 million (46.0% of net sales) compared to $76.0 million (54.7% of net sales).
Research and development (R&D) expenses of $12.9 million decreased $1.3 million.
Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $49.9 million increased $25.0 million.
Operating income of $1.3 million compared to operating income of $37.0 million. The current year quarter operating result is primarily attributable to the aforementioned price erosion, as well as the on-going impact associated with our recent acquisition.
Interest and other financial income of $6.6 million increased $4.5 million.
Tax expense of $1.9 million compared to $13.2 million in the prior year quarter.
Net income attributable to Taro was $7.3 million compared to net income of $26.3 million, resulting in earnings per share of $0.19 compared to earnings per share of $0.70.

Operating income of $8.4 million compared to $42.2 million.
