CAMBREX REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

East Rutherford, NJ – November 3, 2011 – Cambrex Corporation (NYSE: CBM) reports third quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2011.

Highlights
 
 
Reported sales increased by 17.9%, and excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates , sales increased 10.9% compared to the third quarter of 2010.
 
 
EBITDA was $11.1 million in the quarter, an increase of 30.2% compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $8.5 million in the third quarter of 2010.
 
 
Debt, net of cash was $69.3 million at the end of the quarter, an improvement of $6.2 million during the quarter which includes a negative $2.6 million currency impact on foreign cash balances.
 
 
New $250 million five-year revolving credit facility entered into on November 2, 2011 provides sufficient access to capital to execute growth plans.
 
Basis of Reporting
 
The Company has provided a reconciliation from GAAP amounts to adjusted amounts at the end of this press release.  Management believes that the adjusted amounts provide a more meaningful representation of the Company’s operating results for the periods presented due to the magnitude and nature of certain expenses recorded.

Third Quarter of 2011 Operating Results – Continuing Operations
 
Sales in the third quarter of 2011 of $58.2 million were 17.9% higher than the third quarter of 2010.  Excluding a 7.0% favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates, reflecting a weaker U.S. dollar, sales increased 10.9%.  The increase is primarily due to higher volumes of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) for a customer who experienced a disruption in its supply chain for most of 2010, higher volumes of controlled substances, products utilizing the Company’s drug delivery technology and a recently approved innovator product. These increases were partially offset by lower pricing across several product categories, lower sales of generic APIs and lower custom development shipments.

Gross margins in the third quarter of 2011 increased to 30.6% from 28.6% in the third quarter of 2010.  Excluding a favorable impact from foreign currency,exchange rates, third quarter of 2011 margins decreased to 27.3%.  The decline in currency adjusted gross margins was a result of lower pricing partially offset by higher production volumes and favorable product mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the third quarter of 2011 were $9.8 million compared to $7.9 million in the same period last year.  The increase is primarily due to increased personnel costs and foreign currency exchange rates .

Operating Profit increased to $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2010.  Operating Profit in the third quarter of 2011 increased $2.2 million compared to 2010 Adjusted Operating Profit of $3.2 million for the same period in 2010, driven primarily by favorable foreign currency exchange rates, higher sales volumes and favorable product mix partially offset by lower pricing and higher operating expenses.

Equity in Losses of  a Partially-Owned Affiliate of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2011 represents the Company’s share of losses in Zenara Pharma, a pharmaceutical company focused on the formulation of finished dosage form products.  Cambrex acquired a 51% stake in Zenara during the fourth quarter of 2010.  The Company’s share of Zenara’s losses includes $0.3 million of amortization of intangibles and depreciation.

                Net Interest Expense decreased to $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2010.  This decrease is primarily due to the maturing of the Company’s fixed interest rate swaps in October 2010.

The Provision for Income Taxes totaled $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2011.  The Company’s effective tax rate has been and is expected to remain highly sensitive to the geographic mix of income due to the Company’s inability to recognize tax benefits where there has been a recent history of losses, primarily in the U.S.

Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2011 was $3.1 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per share, in the third quarter of 2010.

Capital expenditures and depreciation for the third quarter of 2011 were $4.7 million and $5.7 million compared to $3.5 million and $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2010, respectively.

On November 2, 2011, the Company entered into a $250 million five-year syndicated senior revolving credit facility, replacing the Company’s existing facility that was set to expire in April 2012.  The Company will pay interest on the facility at LIBOR plus 1.75% to 2.50% based upon certain financial measurements.  The facility also includes financial covenants regarding interest coverage and leverage ratios.

Steven M. Klosk, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am pleased with our third quarter performance with increased revenues from custom manufacturing, controlled substances and drug delivery products.  While generic API revenues were slightly lower during the quarter, incoming orders remain strong for this product category.  We continue to focus on generating free cash flow, lowering our production costs and developing new products to support continued growth.”

Guidance – Continuing Operations
 
The Company currently expects that full year 2011 sales, excluding the impact of foreign currency, will increase between 5% and 7% versus 2010, and that full year 2011 EBITDA will be between $44 and $48 million.  EBITDA guidance is for continuing operations and excludes the impact of any M&A or restructuring activities.  The above guidance does not reflect Zenara, which is accounted for using the equity method, and as such is not consolidated into the Company’s results.  Cambrex’s income statement reflects 51% of Zenara’s net results as Equity in Losses of Partially-Owned Affiliate.  For 2011, the Company continues to expect Zenara to have revenues in the low to mid single digit millions and a small EBITDA loss.

Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $14 to $16 million and depreciation is expected to be $22 to $24 million in 2011.

The financial information contained in this press release is unaudited, subject to revision and should not be considered final until the Company’s third quarter 2011 Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC.
