CUMBERLAND PHARMACEUTICALS REPORTS
38% REVENUE GROWTH IN THE FIRST QUARTER
NASHVILLE, TN (Tuesday, May 14, 2019) - Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CPIX), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on hospital acute care, gastroenterology, and oncology supportive care today announced first quarter 2019 financial results with net revenues of $11.9 million, up 38% over the prior year quarter. At the end of the first quarter, Cumberland had $115 million in total assets, including approximately $34 million in cash and marketable securities.
QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS:
Obtained FDA approval of our Next Generation Caldolor® product featuring a new patented formulation and improved packaging
Received notification from the FDA that the Company's new drug application (NDA) for our line of methotrexate products is complete and acceptable for filing
Added new university collaboration to the roster at Cumberland Emerging Technologies (CET)
Completed a company-wide strategic review of products, partners, and organization
“During the first quarter, Cumberland successfully executed on our strategy to drive both revenue growth and profitability while advancing our clinical pipeline," said A.J. Kazimi, Chief Executive Officer of Cumberland Pharmaceuticals. “We will continue our strategy of building a diversified portfolio of brands to deliver long-term value in order to take Cumberland to the next level. Our dedicated staff remains focused every day on our mission of supporting patients through the delivery of high-quality pharmaceutical products.”
KEY DEVELOPMENTS:
Methotrexate
On January 18, 2019, the Company received notification from the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that the NDA for our new line of methotrexate products is complete and acceptable for filing. Furthermore, the FDA has set September 2019 as the Prescription Drug User Fee (PDUFA) action date for an approval decision. In November 2018, we submitted the NDA for approval from the FDA. In conjunction with this submission, we remitted payment of $1.3 million to the FDA for the PDUFA Application Fee associated with this methotrexate product line application. These products are designed to treat adult and pediatric patients with rheumatoid arthritis, as well as adults with psoriasis.








Caldolor
On January 28, 2019, the FDA approved the application of our next generation Caldolor (ibuprofen) injection product. In February 2018, Cumberland completed and filed with the FDA an application for approval. The product features a new, patented formulation in a more convenient to use package. In April 2018, the FDA determined that the application was complete and notified us of their acceptance for review. On August 2, 2018, we received a complete response from the FDA outlining additional quality and nonclinical data needed for the application’s approval. On September 26, 2018, the Company submitted an amendment to our application containing additional quality and nonclinical data.
Cumberland Strategic Review
On March 29, 2019, we announced that we had initiated a strategic review of our brands, capabilities and international partners. This review followed our accelerated business development initiative, which delivered a series of transactions over the last thirty-six months. Because of that progress, we felt that it was prudent to take a fresh look at our portfolio, partners, and organization to ensure we have the proper focus and capabilities. As a result:
In China, the largest market for pharmaceutical products outside the U.S., we have reached an agreement with Hong Kong WinHealth Pharmaceuticals (WinHealth) to assume responsibility for our Acetadote® and Caldolor brands in that market. WinHealth will provide $2 million in milestone payments and up to an estimated $290 million in revenue contribution over a ten - year period following the registration of both products in China.
Meanwhile, we plan to return the U.S. rights to the Ethyol® and Totect® brands later this year in exchange for financial consideration provided over a two-year period. As a result, our hospital product efforts will become focused on our three key acute care products. We are expanding our hospital sales division as well as our field-based medical science team in order to ensure coverage and support for the majority of our acute care business in the U.S.
We have also been meeting with our other key international partners and expect to announce additional improvements to that network over the remainder of the year.

New CET Collaboration Agreement
At CET, we are working with a select group of academic research institutions located in the mid-south region of the U.S. These relationships enable CET to identify therapeutic compounds addressing poorly met medical needs and partner with university-based researchers to advance their scientific discoveries through pre-clinical development. CET contributes product design and development support services to help our collaborators bridge the gap between discovery and clinical investigation.
In February 2019, CET and the technology transfer organization for the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) entered into an agreement, adding to CET’s roster of academic collaborations which also includes Vanderbilt University, the University of Mississippi, Louisiana State University, and the University of Tennessee Research Foundation. Under the agreement, CET will evaluate MUSC discoveries, license intellectual property rights to promising technologies, and partner with MUSC research scientists to advance product development toward commercialization.

The Company provided the above adjusted supplemental financial performance measures, which are considered "non-GAAP" financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations. These financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The definition of these supplemental measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others.
Because these supplemental financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company's reported results of operations, management encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. A reconciliation of the supplemental financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the tables accompanying this release.
Cumberland's management believes these supplemental financial performance measures are important as they are used by management, along with financial measures in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate the Company's operating performance. In addition, Cumberland believes that they will be used by certain investors to measure the Company's operating results. Management believes that presenting these supplemental measures provides useful information about the Company's underlying performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that Cumberland does not believe are indicative of its core business performance or reflect long-term strategic activities. Certain of these items are not settled through cash payments and include: depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense and income taxes. Cumberland utilizes its net operating loss carryforwards to pay minimal income taxes. In addition, the use of these financial measures provides greater transparency to investors of supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, including the evaluation of the Company's operating performance.

The Company defines these supplemental financial measures as follows:
Adjusted Earnings (loss): net income (loss) adjusted for the impact of income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation, Vibativ cost of product sold and interest income and interest expense.

(a) Represents the share-based compensation of Cumberland.

(b) Represents the non-cash impact of the Vibativ cost of products sold. Cumberland has elected to add these costs back in the calculation of adjusted earnings as all the Vibativ inventory was transferred to Cumberland as part of the transaction with Theravance at no additional cost to the consideration agreed for the product acquisition.
    
Adjusted Diluted Earnings (loss) Per Share: Adjusted Earnings (loss) divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.
