2024 highlights include expanded product labeling, key FDA designations and new study publications Recent developments include Phase 2 DMD Study Breakthrough Results and Vibativ China approval NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CPIX), a specialty pharmaceutical company, announced today that its product portfolio of FDA-approved brands delivered combined net revenues of $10.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2024, an 11.6% increase over the prior year period. Net revenues for the full year 2024 were $38 million. Cumberland ended the year with $76 million in total assets – including $18 million in cash, $53 million in liabilities and $23 million of shareholders' equity. "2024 was a transformative year for our Company, marked by expanded product labeling, key FDA designations and significant new study publications that underscore our commitment to improving patient care," said Cumberland Pharmaceuticals CEO A.J. Kazimi. "As we move into 2025, we remain focused on driving growth, delivering value to our stakeholders and advancing our mission." Cumberland started 2025 with several significant developments, including: Cumberland recently announced positive top-line results following completion of its Phase II study evaluating ifetroban in patients with cardiomyopathy associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This marks a breakthrough for these patients, as it is the first successful Phase II study specifically targeting the cardiac complications of their condition. The Company learned that its potent antibiotic, Vibativ ®, received approval by the regulatory authorities in China – the world's second largest pharmaceutical market. This milestone adds to Cumberland's growing international business, as it also began shipping Vibativ to Saudi Arabia and completed the needed product training to launch the product there. HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2024 INCLUDE: FDA Granted Orphan Drug Designations for Ifetroban Cumberland's ifetroban product candidate received FDA Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease designations for the treatment of cardiomyopathy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a devastating genetic disorder affecting young boys. These designations recognize the urgent need for effective treatments and also provide vital support to accelerate research and development. They represent hope for families and a pathway to bring transformative medicines to a vulnerable patient population more quickly and efficiently. If approved, ifetroban would be the first therapy specifically indicated for DMD-related heart disease. New Study Compared Caldolor® to Ketorolac Cumberland announced the publication of new real-world outcomes research demonstrating the safety and health care resource advantages of Caldolor over its main competitor, ketorolac, in both adult and pediatric populations. The study, published in Frontiers of Pain Research, provides compelling evidence that Caldolor is associated with a significantly reduced incidence of adverse drug reactions and improved health care utilizations when compared to ketorolac. Caldolor Special Report Cumberland shared a Caldolor Special Report, which was published in Anesthesiology News, General Surgery News and Pharmacy Practice News and presented the growing amount of data supporting the use of Caldolor as a standard of care for the treatment of pain and fever. The results demonstrated that the product is a safe and effective treatment for pain and fever in adults, children and infants. FDA Approved New, Simplified Dosing Regimen for Acetadote® Cumberland announced the FDA approval of a supplemental New Drug Application for Acetadote, Cumberland's IV treatment for preventing or lessening liver injury after ingestion of potentially toxic quantities of acetaminophen. The new, streamlined approach reduces the frequency of medication errors and potentially serious non-allergic anaphylactoid reactions without compromising the effectiveness of Acetadote. By simplifying the dosing regimen, health care providers can administer the life-saving treatment more efficiently, potentially improving patient outcomes. 2024 Sustainability Metrics Cumberland updated its annual sustainability metrics, detailing the Company's activities pertaining to its environmental, social and governance matters. Cumberland reported its key findings for 2024, including providing 3.9 million doses of its FDA-approved products to patients and safely disposing of nearly 12,480 pounds of damaged and expired products. Additionally, Cumberland had no products recalled and no clinical trials terminated due to failure to practice good clinical standards in 2024. Clinical Development Programs Throughout 2024, Cumberland made significant progress in advancing the Phase II clinical trials evaluating its ifetroban product candidate. The Company closed its study in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, approached the conclusion of enrollment in its systemic sclerosis study and significantly progressed its study in patients suffering from pulmonary fibrosis. These programs are designed to address unmet medical needs in large potential markets. FINANCIAL RESULTS: Net Revenue: For 2024, net revenues were $38 million and included $15.3 million for Kristalose®, $9 million for Sancuso® $7.2 million for Vibativ® and $5 million for Caldolor®. Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses for 2024 were $44 million. Net Income (Loss): The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024 was approximately $1.9 million and the year ended December 31, 2024, was approximately $6.4 million.

The adjusted earnings calculation does not include the benefit of the $1.3 million of Vibativ and Sancuso cost of goods, which were received as part of each product's acquisition. Balance Sheet: At December 31, 2024, Cumberland had $76 million in total assets, including $18 million in cash and cash equivalents. Liabilities totaled $53 million, including $15 million on the company's credit facility. Total shareholders' equity was $23 million at December 31, 2024.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: This press release contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to certain risks and reflect Cumberland's current views on future events based on what it believes are reasonable assumptions. No assurance can be given that these events will occur. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding the Company's intent, belief or expectations, and can be identified by the use of terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "should," "seek," "anticipate," "look forward" and other comparable terms or the negative thereof. As with any business, all phases of Cumberland's operations are subject to factors outside of its control, and any one or combination of these factors could materially affect Cumberland's operation results. These factors include macroeconomic conditions, including rising interest rates and inflation, competition, an inability of manufacturers to produce Cumberland's products on a timely basis, failure of manufacturers to comply with regulations applicable to pharmaceutical manufacturers, natural disasters, public health epidemics, maintaining an effective sales and marketing infrastructure, and other events beyond the Company's control as more fully discussed in its most recent annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as well as the Company's other filings with the SEC from time to time. 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: Adjusted Earnings: Net loss adjusted for the impact of income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation, interest income and interest expense. The financial information presented for the year ended December 31, 2023, has been adjusted to be consistent with the current year presentation. (a) Represents the share-based compensation of Cumberland. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted loss divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.

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 loss adjusted for the impact of income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation, interest income and interest expense. The financial information presented for the year ended December 31, 2023 , has been adjusted to be consistent with the current year presentation. (a) Represents the share-based compensation of Cumberland. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted loss divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.
