Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Reports 9% Revenue Growth In 2020

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CPIX), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on hospital acute care, gastroenterology and rheumatology, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2020 financial results. Net Revenues for the fourth quarter were $10.3 million, up 10% over the prior year period. For the full year 2020, Net Revenues totaled $37.4 million, a 9% increase over 2019. The company also recorded an additional $3.2 million in revenue during the year associated with divested product rights for two brands it is no longer distributing.

As of December 31, 2020, the total assets of the Company were $96.5 million, including $24.8 million in cash and investments. Total Liabilities were $49.6 million, and Total Shareholder's Equity was $47 million. Cumberland also had approximately $44 million in tax net operating loss carryforwards, resulting from the prior exercise of stock options.

2020 Highlights:

  • Implemented national launch of a Next Generation Caldolor product featuring a ready-to-use formulation in a pre-mixed bag
  • Commenced several national initiatives during 2020 to help hospitals access Cumberland's acute care brands during the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Announced a series of publications featuring important new data associated with the Company's Caldolor® (ibuprofen) Injection, for the treatment of pain and fever and Vibativ® (telavancin) Injection, for the treatment of hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia, as well as complicated skin and skin structure infections
  • Introduced an FDA-approved RediTrex® line of injectable methotrexate products, featuring an innovative delivery system for patients with arthritis

"We are grateful that Cumberland was able to successfully manage through the pandemic during 2020, in spite of the significant market headwinds and other challenges we encountered," said A.J. Kazimi, Chief Executive Officer of Cumberland Pharmaceuticals. "Our facilities remained open, our operations continued, and our organization remained intact." He continued, "I would like to acknowledge and thank my colleagues for their continued dedication during such trying times for many. Together, we remain focused on our mission of advancing patient care through the delivery of high-quality medicines."

Caldolor® 

Early in 2020, Cumberland implemented a national launch of its Next Generation Caldolor product featuring a ready-to-use formulation, offering time and cost savings associated with its administration. Caldolor is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and may be used as the sole method of treatment for mild-moderate pain or as part of a multimodal treatment for severe pain. Cumberland's new formulation of Caldolor comes in a pre-mixed bag that is ready for use. It is the first FDA-approved pre-mixed bag of ibuprofen.

Caldolor was also the subject of several clinical studies published during the year. These studies demonstrated that patients given Caldolor experienced less postoperative pain and had decreased opioid use. Due to these studies, Caldolor was recommended for consideration in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols for the management of postoperative pain - including that of traumatic origin.

Vibativ®

Cumberland launched several national initiatives during 2020 to help hospitals access the Company's acute care brands during the healthcare emergency. Cumberland's Vibativ product was used to help COVID-19 patients who developed secondary-bacterial infections in their lungs. Vibativ is a potent antibiotic, FDA approved to treat hospital and ventilator acquired pneumonia that can result from a variety of infectious agents. It addresses a range of Gram-positive bacterial pathogens, including those that are considered difficult-to-treat and multidrug-resistant.

Additionally, there were a series of clinical study manuscripts published during the year regarding Vibativ. One study suggested that Vibativ is a promising and viable option for patients with bacteremia or endocarditis, including those with MRSA or another S. aureus pathogen. Two other studies confirmed the continued in vitro potency of Vibativ and detailed the positive outcomes that resulted.

RediTrex® 

The Company implemented a soft launch of its newly FDA-approved RediTrex product line during the fourth quarter. Cumberland is now preparing for a full national launch during the second half of 2021, once product supplies are assured and market conditions return to normal. The Company believes that RediTrex will be a valuable addition to the portfolio and help further diversify and grow its business.

RediTrex is approved for patients with severe, active rheumatoid arthritis and polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis who have difficulty tolerating or responding to orally delivered methotrexate. It is also approved for symptomatic control of severe, recalcitrant, disabling psoriasis in adults who are not adequately responsive to other forms of therapy.

Omeclamox®-Pak

Cumberland closely monitored its supply chain during the 2020 pandemic. This included monitoring the facilities that supply the raw materials along with those that manufacture the Company's products. Overall, the chain remained intact with batches of finished goods shipped to the warehouses that supply the country's hospital and retail pharmacies. However, there was one exception, as the facility packaging Omeclamox-Pak encountered financial difficulties due to the pandemic and suspended operations. Subsequently, Cumberland learned that this facility is reorganizing, and the Company awaits the resumption of its operations.

Ifetroban Phase II Clinical Programs

Cumberland's development pipeline includes a series of product candidates in Phase II development. Enrollment in the Company's studies significantly slowed during the pandemic, due to trial suspensions and the decrease in eligible patient admissions to medical centers across the country. While enrollment of new patients was limited most of the year, the Company ensured that patients already entered into a trial continued to receive their study drug. Cumberland looks forward to an improvement in study enrollment as the pandemic subsides and centers begin to reopen.

The Company has Phase II clinical programs underway evaluating its ifetroban product candidates in patients with cardiomyopathy associated with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Systemic Sclerosis, and Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease.

The Company provided the above adjusted supplemental financial performance measures, which are considered "non-GAAP" financial measures under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission 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 strongly 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 income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense and other income and interest expense.








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







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





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