Mylan making new, generic EpiPen for half price [View all]

NYT link: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/30/business/mylan-to-offer-a-generic-epipen-at-half-the-price.html?_r=0

So Mylan is making a generic epipen that is half the price but still identical to the original. So the extra money for the original must be all profit for Mylan, right? (excepting advertising costs, I suppose)
