NASHVILLE, TN (February 28, 2013) - Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CPIX), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on hospital acute care and gastroenterology, today announced fourth quarter and annual 2012 financial results.
Net Revenue: For the three months ended December 31, 2012, net revenue was $13.7 million, up from $13.0 million in the prior year period.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, net revenues were $48.9 million, compared with $51.1 million for 2011.
Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $10.4 million compared to $11.3 million the prior year period. During the fourth quarter of 2012, operating expenses included $0.7 million of non-recurring expenses associated with the realignment of our sales organization.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, total operating expenses were approximately $40.0 million compared with $41.3 million for 2011.
Net Income: Net income attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended December 31, 2012, was $1.8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $0.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the same period in 2011. This increase resulted from quarter- over-quarter sales growth along with reduced expenses.
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased to $5.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to $5.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for 2011.

FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

$98.6 million compared to $95.5 million in 2011. At December 31, 2012, Cumberland had total loans of $4.4 million, down from $4.9 million at the end of 2011. Shareholders’ equity increased to $85.7 million at the end of 2012 from $82.9 million for the prior period.

“We are pleased with the progress we made in 2012 as highlighted by our financial results, as well as several product milestones, including the expansion of our international presence, the completion of four Caldolor studies, and the allowance of two new Acetadote patents,” said A.J. Kazimi, Chief Executive Officer of Cumberland Pharmaceuticals. “As we move into 2013, we will continue to maximize our near term opportunities while laying the foundation for the long term expansion, diversification and success of our business.”


Product Highlights
Acetadote® 
In November 2012, Cumberland received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a second patent relating to the new formulation of Acetadote. The new patent will include claims regarding the use of the 200 mg/ml Acetadote formulation to treat patients with acetaminophen overdose and will expire in August 2025.
Cumberland also entered into a Settlement Agreement with Paddock Laboratories, LLC and Perrigo Company in November to resolve the challenges and pending litigation between the Company and each of Paddock and Perrigo involving the Acetadote patent. Under the Settlement Agreement, Paddock and Perrigo admit that the Acetadote patent is valid and enforceable and that any Paddock or Perrigo generic Acetadote product (with or without EDTA) would infringe upon the Acetadote patent. In addition, Paddock and Perrigo will not challenge the validity, enforceability, ownership or patentability of the Acetadote patent through its expiration currently scheduled for May 2026.
The Company has also entered into a License and Supply Agreement with Paddock and Perrigo. Under the terms of the License and Supply Agreement, if a third party receives final approval from the FDA for an ANDA to sell a generic Acetadote product and such third party has made such generic version available for purchase in commercial quantities in the United States, the Company will supply Perrigo with an authorized generic version of the Company's Acetadote product.
In January 2013, Perrigo announced initial distribution of Cumberland's authorized generic acetylcysteine injection product.

Caldolor® 
Cumberland is pleased to announce new top-line results from a pilot clinical study evaluating the safety and analgesic efficacy of Caldolor (ibuprofen) Injection compared to ketorolac injection in treating pain following knee arthroscopy procedures in adult patients.
Fifty-one patients were enrolled at The Ohio State Medical Center. Compared to patients receiving ketorolac, patients receiving intravenous ibuprofen experienced less postoperative pain prior to

discharge. Patients receiving Caldolor also needed less narcotics and were less likely to require narcotics prior to discharge. This data supports the benefits of using Caldolor in a pre-emptive model of multimodal analgesia.
These positive results follow the February release of two recent studies affirming the safety and efficacy of Caldolor in treating pain and fever in adult patients when administered over a shortened infusion time. Top-line results from these two registry studies involved 450 patients who received Caldolor at 34 leading medical centers throughout the United States.
The Company continued to expand the international market for Caldolor through strategic partnerships. In December 2012, the application for regulatory approval of Caldolor for fever in Australia by Cumberland's partner Phebra Pty Ltd., was approved.
In January 2013, Cumberland entered into agreements with India's Sandor Medicaids Pvt. Ltd. and Indonesia's PT. SOHO Industri Pharmasi (a SOHO Group company) for the commercialization of Caldolor in those countries.

Company Update
In November 2012, Cumberland completed a realignment of its national sales organization to more efficiently cover key targets in support of all three marketed products, Caldolor, Acetadote and Kristalose, in the United States.

About Acetadote
Acetadote, administered intravenously within 8 to 10 hours after ingestion of a potentially hepatotoxic quantity of acetaminophen, is indicated to prevent or lessen hepatic injury. Used in the emergency department, Acetadote is approved in the United States to treat overdose of acetaminophen, a common ingredient in many over-the-counter medications. Acetadote is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity or previous anaphylactoid reactions to acetylcysteine or any components of the preparation. Serious anaphylactoid reactions, including death in a patient with asthma, have been reported in patients administered acetylcysteine intravenously. Acetadote should be used with caution in patients with asthma or where there is a history of bronchospasm. The total volume administered should be adjusted for patients weighing less than 40 kg and for those requiring fluid restriction. To avoid fluid overload, the volume of diluent should be reduced as needed. If volume is not adjusted, fluid overload can occur, potentially resulting in hyponatremia, seizure and death. For full prescribing information, visit www.acetadote.com.

About Caldolor
Caldolor is indicated for the management of mild to moderate pain and management of moderate to severe pain as an adjunct to opioid analgesics, as well as the reduction of fever in adults. It was the first FDA-approved intravenous therapy for fever. Caldolor is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, patients with asthma, urticarial, or allergic type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs. Caldolor is contraindicated for use during the peri-operative period in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Caldolor should be used with caution in patients with prior history of ulcer disease or GI bleeding, in patients with fluid retention or heart failure, in the elderly, those with renal impairment, heart failure, liver impairment, and those taking diuretics or ACE inhibitors. Blood pressure should be monitored during treatment with Caldolor. For full prescribing information, including boxed warning, visit www.caldolor.com.

About Kristalose
Kristalose is indicated for the treatment of acute and chronic constipation. It is a unique, proprietary, crystalline form of lactulose, with no restrictions on length of therapy or patient age. Initial dosing may produce flatulence and intestinal cramps, which are usually transient. Excessive dosage can lead to diarrhea with potential complications such as loss of fluids, hypokalemia and hypernatremia. Nausea and vomiting have been reported. Use with caution in diabetics. Kristalose is contraindicated in patients who require a low-galactose diet. Elderly, debilitated patients who receive lactulose for more than six months should have serum electrolytes (potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide) measured periodically. For full prescribing information, visit www.kristalose.com.

On November 29, 2012, Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company") implemented a realignment of its national sales organization to more efficiently cover key targets in support of its three marketed products, Caldolor, Acetadote and Kristalose . As a result of this realignment the Company's sales personnel totaling 64 individuals, consolidated into 8 nationwide districts. The Company does not expect to have further changes to its sales personnel as a result of the realignment. The costs associated with the sales force realignment are one-time expenses recorded during the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2012. As management believes these costs are nonrecurring and important to understanding the Company's business operations, it has presented these separately.

The Company provided the above adjusted financial performance measures, which are considered “non-GAAP” financial measures under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The definition of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial performance measures are important as they eliminate nonrecurring sales realignment costs. The Company used these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management's internal comparisons of the Company's operating results, as well as to reconcile to guidance provided to investors. In addition, the use of non-GAAP 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 non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
