CUMBERLAND PHARMACEUTICALS REPORTS 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTS & COMPANY UPDATE

2021 highlights include agreement to acquire Sancuso® and FDA approval for Caldolor® administration prior to surgery

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CPIX), a specialty pharmaceutical company today announced full year 2021 financial results and provided a company update. Net revenues totaled $36 million, resulting in $6 million in cash flow from operations.

As of December 31, 2021, the company's total assets were $84 million, including $27 million in cash. Total liabilities were $42 million, including $15 million on its credit facility and total shareholders' equity was $43 million.

"Despite the continued challenges of operating during a pandemic, our diversified product portfolio of FDA-approved brands has helped mitigate its negative effects and allowed us to deliver another steady performance in 2021," said A.J. Kazimi, CEO of Cumberland Pharmaceuticals. "We closed out the year announcing our acquisition of Sancuso, an oncology-support drug that we believe will be favorable to our financial performance and provide significant benefits to oncology patients being treated for their cancers. We look forward to the year ahead and welcome the return to a more traditional operating environment."

Cumberland acquired the U.S rights to Sancuso® from the U.S. subsidiary of Kyowa Kirin, a specialty pharmaceutical company based in Japan. Sancuso is the first and only FDA-approved prescription patch for the prevention of nausea and vomiting in cancer patients receiving certain types of chemotherapy treatment.

The active drug in Sancuso, granisetron, slowly dissolves in the thin layer of adhesive that sticks to the patient's skin and is released into their bloodstream over several days, working continuously to prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). It is applied 24 to 48 hours before receiving chemotherapy and can prevent CINV for up to five consecutive days. Alternative oral treatments must be taken several times – day and night – to deliver the same therapeutic doses.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, Cumberland extended its bank line of credit for a new three-year term and expanded the facility to provide up to $20 million in capital to fund the Sancuso acquisition.

In November 2021, Cumberland received FDA approval of expanded labeling for its Caldolor® product. The intravenously delivered formulation of ibuprofen is now approved for use prior to surgery. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Stephen Southworth, who has published extensively on intravenous ibuprofen, supported this development stating that "when administered immediately prior to surgery, patients given Caldolor experience less postoperative pain and a decrease in their opioid use."

Also during 2021, Cumberland implemented the national launch of RediTrex®, its FDA-approved line of injectable methotrexate products. RediTrex features an innovative delivery system for easy handling and dosing accuracy. It is approved for patients with severe, active rheumatoid arthritis and polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis who have difficulty tolerating or responding to orally delivered methotrexate.

Other highlights from the year:

  • Cumberland signed an agreement with Verity Pharmaceuticals to license and commercialize Vibativ® in Puerto Rico. Verity has a strong presence in Puerto Rico, which is in need of a product with Vibativ's features, as it has a large number of residents living with chronic diseases, like diabetes, that increase the risk of hospitalization and infections. Vibativ is a patented, FDA-approved injectable anti-infective for the treatment of certain serious bacterial infections, including hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia and complicated skin infections.

  • SciClone Pharmaceuticals, which has licensed Cumberland's Vibativ product for China, submitted an application for the product's approval in that market in early 2021. In September, the submission was accepted for review, which is expected to occur over a 12-month period.

  • Enrollment in Cumberland's clinical studies resumed after interruption due to the pandemic. Cumberland is sponsoring three Phase II clinical programs evaluating its ifetroban product candidates. These studies involve patients with cardiomyopathy associated with 1) Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a fatal, genetic neuromuscular disease; 2) Systemic Sclerosis, a debilitating autoimmune disorder; and 3) Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease, a severe form of asthma.

  • Cumberland issued its second annual Sustainability Report, which details the company's activities pertaining to its environmental, social and governance matters. The 2020 Sustainability Report notes that Cumberland provided nearly 2.5 million patient doses of its products, safely disposed of over 4,000 pounds of expired and damaged products, and had no product recalls. Cumberland also had no company brands listed on the FDA's MedWatch Safety Alerts for Human Medical Products, no company product issues identified by FDA from its Adverse Event Reporting System and no clinical trials terminated due to failure to practice good clinical standards.

    The 2020 Sustainability Report also highlights several initiatives Cumberland implemented as part of its commitment to delivering high-quality pharmaceutical products to improve patient care. For example, the company continued a program to serialize all commercial products sold in the U.S., allowing it to track every unit distributed, which helps to prevent counterfeit drugs from entering the market under the Cumberland brand.

  • The company also announced its upcoming move to the new Broadwest campus in Nashville's West End/Vanderbilt corridor. The new location will keep Cumberland close to the internationally recognized Vanderbilt Medical Center, with whom it regularly collaborates. It will also provide Cumberland a long-term home with increased efficiency and convenience for its overall operations.

  • Cumberland also announced several publications in support of its products as well as a series of patient case studies outlining real-world instances in which Vibativ was used to effectively and safely treat COVID-19 patients.

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: net income (loss) adjusted for the impact of discontinued operations, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation, write down of expired inventory, write-off of deferred offering costs expense, loan forgiveness and other income and interest expense.

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

(b) Represents the write down of expired inventory.

(c) Represents the write-off of deferred offering costs associated with our previous S-3.

(d) Represents the forgiveness of the PPP Loan by the Small Business Administration.

  • Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted Earnings (loss) divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.
