CUMBERLAND PHARMACEUTICALS REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTS & COMPANY UPDATE
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Tuesday, May 11, 2021) - Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CPIX), a specialty pharmaceutical company, today is providing a company update and first quarter 2021 financial results. Net revenues from continuing operations during the quarter were $10.5 million, a 26.5% increase over the prior year period. The company also recorded an additional $500,000 in revenue during the first quarter associated with divested product rights for two brands it is no longer distributing.
The Company's financial position included $93 million in total assets - with $25 million in cash, $46 million of total liabilities, and $47 million of shareholders’ equity at the end of the quarter.
"As the novel coronavirus continues to affect lives over a year after its arrival in the U.S., we remain hopeful, as an overall reopening of our country is now in progress," said A.J. Kazimi, Chief Executive Officer of Cumberland Pharmaceuticals. “Given all the challenges of operating a business in the wake of a pandemic, Cumberland was able to generate solid financial performance by adjusting our market strategies, retooling our sales communications and reinventing the way in which we operate our business."
RECENT COMPANY DEVELOPMENTS:
Vibativ® Case Studies
Cumberland’s Vibativ product has been used across the country to help COVID-19 patients who develop secondary bacterial infections in their lungs. 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 that can result from COVID-19, flu, and other infections.
The Company subsequently compiled a dossier of patient case studies from across the country outlining several real-world instances where Vibativ effectively and safely treated the hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia resulting from MSSA and MRSA infections that developed in patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
RediTrex® Launch
The Company is now finalizing plans for the full launch of its FDA-approved RediTrex product line. 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. Cumberland initially implemented a soft launch during the fourth quarter of 2020 and is currently planning a national launch of the product line during the second half of 2021, once additional product supplies are received and market conditions return to normal.
Hyponatremia Publication in Support of Vaprisol®
A recent study publication called Health Outcome Predictive Evaluation (HOPE) COVID-19 Registry Analysis, an international study of over 4,000 patients, found that patients hospitalized with COVID-19 had a high risk of developing hyponatremia. These COVID-19 patients also had a higher incidence of mortality due to their hyponatremia. The study results support the use of an intravenous vaptan to treat hyponatremia in critically ill patients afflicted with COVID-19.
Hyponatremia, an imbalance of serum sodium to body water, is the most common electrolyte disorder among hospitalized patients. Cumberland’s Vaprisol product is one of two branded prescription products indicated for the treatment of hyponatremia, and the only intravenously administered branded treatment. Vaprisol has a proven day-1 response to help normalize serum sodium levels in hyponatremic patients and move them out of the ICU as efficiently as possible.
FINANCIAL RESULTS:
Net Revenues: For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net revenues from ongoing operations were $10.5 million, up 26.5% from $8.3 million for the prior year period. The company also recorded an additional $500,000 in revenue during the first quarter associated with divested product rights.
Net revenue by product for the three months ended March 31, 2021, included $5.1 million for Vibativ®, $3.0 million for Kristalose®, $1.5 million for Caldolor®, and $1.1 million for Vaprisol®.
Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, were $10.9 million, compared to $10.2 million during the prior year period. This increase in expenses resulted primarily from the additional cost of goods associated with our growth in Vibativ sales during the quarter.
Earnings: Net income for the first quarter 2021 was $0.2 million or $0.01 a share, compared to a loss of $1.1 million or $0.07 a share for the prior year period.
Adjusted Earnings for the first quarter were $1.1 million or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $0.4 million or $0.03 per diluted share for the prior year period.
Balance Sheet: At March 31, 2021, Cumberland had $93.3 million in total assets including $24.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. Total liabilities were $46.5 million, including $15.0 million outstanding on the Company's revolving line of credit, resulting in total shareholders' equity of $47.0 million.

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 discontinued operations, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation and interest income and interest expense.
(a) Represents the share-based compensation of Cumberland.
•Adjusted Diluted Earnings (loss) Per Share: Adjusted Earnings (loss) divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.
