QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS:
“We continued to make progress in the second quarter towards our goal of building a company that offers long-term, sustainable growth,” said A.J. Kazimi, Chief Executive Officer of Cumberland Pharmaceuticals. “We remain in a strong financial position with a solid balance sheet and positive cash flow from operations. The momentum we’ve generated during the first half of this year has put us on a path for a very strong second half, and we remain optimistic that 2019 will be a standout year for Cumberland.” KEY DEVELOPMENTS: Methotrexate In January 2019, the Company received notification from the FDA that the new drug application (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. These products are designed to treat adult and pediatric patients with rheumatoid arthritis, as well as adults with psoriasis. During 2019, we provided additional data to the FDA to address a number of requests arising from their review of our NDA. Caldolor In January 2019, the FDA approved the application for Cumberland’s next generation Caldolor product, featuring a new, patented formulation in a more convenient to use package. In April 2019, the Company began initial shipments of the product to select customers. A full launch of this next generation product is planned for late 2019. In addition, we completed a submission to the FDA in support of an update to our Caldolor approval that included new geriatric, shortened infusion, pediatric, and safety data. Aiming to further expand the product’s label, we provided important data generated from our clinical studies regarding an optimal infusion time, additional safety information, as well as geriatric and pediatric administration. The revised label will also include a class label update on the use of NSAIDs with aspirin. Meanwhile, we completed enrollment in our study of Caldolor in newborns with ages ranging from birth to six months of age. Once the gathering and evaluation of the study data is complete, we will provide top line results from this trial. 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. 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:

Forward-Looking Statements This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which are subject to certain risks and reflect Cumberland’s current views on future events based on what it believes are reasonable assumptions. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from them. Some important factors which may cause results to differ from expectations include: market conditions, competition, an inability of manufacturers to supply Cumberland’s products on a timely basis or failure of manufacturers to comply with regulations applicable to pharmaceutical manufacturers including quality control obligations, maintaining an effective sales and marketing infrastructure, availability of additional debt and equity capital required to finance the business, market conditions at the time additional capital is required, our ability to continue to acquire brands, product sales, management of our growth and integration of our acquisitions, as well as other risks discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other filings with the SEC. There can be no assurance that results anticipated by the Company will be realized or that they will have the expected effects. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly revise these statements to reflect events after the date hereof.
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:
(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.
