Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Reports 16% Sequential Revenue Growth in Second Quarter 2024

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: CPIX), a specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced significantly improved financial results and a favorable overall company performance for the second quarter of 2024.

Highlights include:

    --  $9.9 million in net revenue during the second quarter of 2024, an
        increase of 16% sequentially from the first quarter of 2024.
    --  Adjusted earnings of $0.2 million, which represents a $0.8 million
        improvement over the prior period in 2024.
    --  $78.5 million in assets, $52.5 million in liabilities and $26.3 million
        of shareholders' equity.

"We are very optimistic about our company's future, and we look forward to building on our second quarter success throughout the remainder of the year," said Cumberland's CEO, A.J. Kazimi. "Given the number of ongoing positive developments, we believe we're still on track to post significant revenue growth and positive cashflow from operations during 2024."

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS INCLUDE:

Kristalose(®) Medicaid Coverage & Gastroenterology Guidelines Recommendation

Wisconsin has added Kristalose, Cumberland's prescription-strength laxative, to its Medicaid formulary, and Cumberland is implementing a special initiative to announce this development in that market. Cumberland also has Medicaid coverage for the brand in New York state and Texas, two of the largest states for the product.

Additionally, the American Gastroenterological Association's ("AGA") guidelines include Kristalose as a first-line treatment option for opioid-induced constipation. As the guidelines state, "Constipation is by far the most common and debilitating gastrointestinal effect of opioids, and some degree of constipation is near universal in patients taking opioid medications." Cumberland believes the AGA's recommendation will support the use of Kristalose in those patients.

New Study Supports Vibativ(®) as an Effective Treatment for Anthrax Infections

In June, Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy published a study evaluating Vibativ (telavancin) as a novel therapeutic against anthrax inhalation, the most dangerous form of those infections. Researchers were particularly interested in finding alternatives to current antibiotics in case anthrax bacteria become resistant to them.

Researchers tested telavancin against 17 different anthrax strains in the lab to determine how well it could stop their growth. Additionally, researchers tested telavancin in rabbits that were infected with a deadly dose of airborne anthrax spores and compared telavancin's effectiveness to another antibiotic (levofloxacin) and a placebo.

The results showed that:

    --  Telavancin was very effective at killing all the anthrax strains tested
        in the lab.
    --  In the preclinical study, all the animals treated with telavancin
        survived.
    --  Telavancin was better at clearing anthrax from the blood and organs than
        levofloxacin.

Based on these results, the researchers concluded that telavancin could potentially be an effective new treatment option for anthrax infections, especially if current antibiotics become less effective due to resistance.

Antimicrobial resistance continues to pose a significant challenge in the treatment of bacterial infections, necessitating the development of new antibiotic therapies. While many recently introduced antibiotics are quickly losing the battle to fight the bacteria they were designed to kill because those bacteria have become drug-resistant, Vibativ was specifically designed to kill drug-resistant bacteria.

Product Pipeline

Cumberland has been evaluating its ifetroban product candidate, a selective thromboxane-prostanoid receptor antagonist, in a series of clinical studies. It has now been dosed in nearly 1,400 subjects and has been found to be safe and well tolerated in healthy volunteers and various patient populations. Cumberland has three Phase II clinical programs underway evaluating ifetroban in patients with 1) Systemic Sclerosis or scleroderma, a debilitating autoimmune disorder characterized by diffuse fibrosis of the skin and internal organs, 2) cardiomyopathy associated with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a rare, fatal, genetic neuromuscular disease results in deterioration of the skeletal, heart, and lung muscles and 3) Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, the most common form of progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease. This third program is our newest, with enrollment now underway.

Cumberland recently applied for two U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") designations for its Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy product candidate:

1) Orphan Drug Designation, which is granted to products that show promise in the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of rare - or orphan - diseases; such designation can result in a number of benefits associated with the FDA review process including exclusivity after approval of the product.

2) Rare Pediatric Disease Designation, which is given to products intended to prevent or treat serious or life-threatening diseases that primarily affect children from birth to 18 years of age. Upon FDA approval this designation may result in a priority review voucher from the FDA for a different product.

Cumberland expects to hear back from the FDA on both applications this year.

Cumberland's plan going forward is to complete each of its company-sponsored studies, analyze their final data, announce top-line results and decide on the best development path for the registration of ifetroban, which Cumberland continues to believe has the potential to benefit many patients with orphan diseases that represent unmet medical needs.

New Manufacturing & Supplies of Sancuso(®)

After acquiring U.S. rights to Sancuso, Cumberland successfully completed the transition from Kyowa Kirin to Cumberland in 2023, including the NDA transfer. A new manufacturing facility was approved by the FDA for Sancuso, and Cumberland has completed the first lots of Cumberland-packaged product there. Cumberland began shipping these new supplies of its Cumberland-branded product this summer.

Federal NOPAIN Act

Cumberland announced in April 2023 that it expected that Caldolor would be eligible for special Medicare reimbursement under the Non-Opioids Prevent Addiction in the Nation Act, which was enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 (the "NOPAIN Act").

The NOPAIN Act requires Medicare to provide separate reimbursement for non-opioid products that are used to manage pain during surgeries conducted in hospital outpatient departments or in ambulatory surgical centers. The NOPAIN Act applies, in part, to products that are indicated to provide analgesia, without acting upon the body's opioid receptors. As a result, the Company expected that the NOPAIN Act would affect Medicare reimbursement for Caldolor, its non-opioid analgesic injection product.

The reimbursement for non-opioid pain alternatives under the NOPAIN Act will apply to those products that are furnished between January 1, 2025 and January 1, 2028. It is anticipated that in late 2024, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") will issue regulations implementing the NOPAIN Act and detailing the conditions for, and amount of, the separate reimbursement.

In July 2023, in the Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System ("OPPS") Proposed Rule, CMS requested that manufacturers with potentially applicable non-opioid products submit comments and supporting clinical evidence regarding products that they believe should be eligible for separate payment. Cumberland submitted a comment letter along with the requisite clinical information to CMS in September 2023, explaining why Caldolor should be included and separately reimbursed. In July the 2024 Medicare OPPS Proposed Rule, CMS proposed that, in 2025, several drugs that were previously eligible for separate payment via existing CMS policies continue to be eligible for separate payment in the hospital outpatient setting under the Consolidated Appropriation Act 2023 and solicited comments on whether there are additional drugs or biologicals that meet the statutory definition. In response, Cumberland plans to submit a comment letter along with the requisite information in September 2024 and will then await information from CMS regarding the reimbursement status and price for Caldolor in the CY 2025 OPPS Final Rule.

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
        income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based
        compensation, 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.
