Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Reports Annual 2023 Financial Results
2023 highlights include expanded FDA approval and new study publications
NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:CPIX), a specialty pharmaceutical company, announced today that its product portfolio of FDA-approved brands delivered combined revenues of $40 million in 2023 and provided $6 million in cash generated from operations.
Cumberland ended the year with $82 million in total assets – including $18 million in cash, $53 million in liabilities and $30 million of shareholders' equity.
"In many ways 2023 was a building year for Cumberland, as we continued to integrate our newest products, while also delivering several significant achievements," said Cumberland Pharmaceuticals CEO A.J. Kazimi. "We were pleased to expand the labeling for our Caldolor product to include use in infants, while continuing to build our other brands and progress our clinical programs."
Cumberland will report its 2023 financial results and provide a Company update via a conference call today, March 5, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE YEAR INCLUDE:
New Mission Statement
In 2023, Cumberland refined its mission statement to better capture the spirit of the Company. It now reads: working together to provide unique products that improve the quality of patient care.
In designing this statement, Cumberland considered several factors.
The Company wanted its mission to address the constituencies it serves, which include patients in need of care, as well as health care providers and its employees, shareholders, partners and community.
It needed to reflect Cumberland's culture, where teamwork is prized, emphasized and expected – in order to achieve the company's goals.
It also demonstrates Cumberland's focus on developing, acquiring and distributing differentiated brands.
And finally, Cumberland wanted to emphasize that the patient is at the core of everything it does. Its collective efforts are directed at providing unique products that serve as better alternatives for poorly met medical needs.
Caldolor® FDA Approval for Treating Infants and Supporting Study Publication
The FDA approved expanded labeling for Cumberland's Caldolor product, an intravenously delivered formulation of ibuprofen, to include its use in infants. The non-narcotic agent may now be administered for the treatment of pain and fever in patients 3 to 6 months of age. With this newly approved labeling, Caldolor is the only non-opioid product approved to treat pain in infants that is delivered through injection.
Cumberland also announced positive results from a clinical study investigating the safety and pharmacokinetics of Caldolor in newborns, published in the journal Pediatric Drugs. The results of the study support the growing body of evidence that demonstrates Caldolor is a safe therapeutic option available to practitioners for the treatment of fever and pain in infants, children and adults.
Federal NOPAIN Act
In early 2023, the federal NOPAIN Act was passed, which the Company expects, will provide special, favorable reimbursement for non-opioid products like Caldolor. Cumberland submitted a request to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), to include Caldolor in the favorable reimbursement and expects to learn more this year in preparation for the Act's implementation in 2025.
Expanded Oncology Sales Division
Cumberland expanded its oncology sales division as it works to deliver its newest brand – Sancuso® – to help cancer patients tolerate their chemotherapy treatments. Sancuso is the first and only FDA-approved prescription patch for the prevention of nausea and vomiting in patients receiving certain types of chemotherapy.
Vibativ® Pediatric Study Results Published
Cumberland announced a new publication in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy detailing the results of the first clinical study investigating the safety and pharmacokinetics of its Vibativ product in children 2 to 17 years of age.
Vibativ is an intravenous antibiotic approved by the FDA for the treatment of hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia, as well as complicated skin and skin structure infections caused by certain gram-positive bacteria.
The results of the study suggest that a single dose of Vibativ is safe in children and they experience reduced exposure to Vibativ, compared with the same body weight-based dosing in adults.
2023 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 2023, including providing 3 million doses of its FDA-approved products to patients and safely disposing of nearly 6,000 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 2023.
Clinical Development Programs
Throughout 2023, Cumberland continued to progress its pipeline of innovative products designed to improve patient care and patients' quality of life. Cumberland's ifetroban product candidate – a potent and selective thromboxane receptor antagonist – is being evaluated in three Phase II clinical trials for patients with a series of unmet medical needs. It has now been dosed in nearly 1,400 subjects and has been found to be safe and well tolerated in those individuals. Patient enrollment is well underway in two of those Company-sponsored Phase II clinical programs.
The first clinical program involves patients with Systemic Sclerosis or scleroderma, a debilitating autoimmune disorder characterized by diffuse fibrosis of the skin and internal organs.
The other clinical program is evaluating ifetroban in patients with cardiomyopathy associated with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, or DMD. DMD is a rare and fatal genetic neuromuscular disease that results in deterioration of the skeletal, heart and lung muscles. Cumberland is sponsoring the FIGHT DMD™ trial, a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase II study enrolling patients across 10 centers in the United States that specialize in DMD. The Company has completed enrollment in the younger age group of patients and now is working to finish enrollment in the older patient group with DMD. The FDA has provided grant awards of over $1 million to support this study.
Cumberland is also developing an oral capsule to treat Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, or IPF, the most common form of progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease. Following FDA clearance of its investigational new drug application in May 2023, the Company is now in the process of initiating its Phase II FIGHTING FIBROSIS trial designed to enroll 128 patients in over 20 medical centers of excellence across the United States. Recent studies have shown ifetroban can both prevent and enhance resolution of lung fibrosis in multiple preclinical models.
The Company'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 the Company continues to believe has the potential to benefit many patients with orphan diseases that represent unmet medical needs.

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 income (loss) adjusted for the impact of income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation, interest income and interest expense. The definition of Adjusted Earnings has been changed to include all gains and losses, as gains are occurring more frequently for the Company. The financial information presented for the year ended December 31, 2022, has been adjusted to be consistent with the current year presentation.
(a) Includes $3.3 million impairment loss on intangible assets.
(b) Represents the share-based compensation of Cumberland.
(c) Represents the write-down of expired inventory.
(d) Year-to-date Adjusted Earnings includes a litigation settlement based on two $500,000 milestone payments due to the Company for the license associated with its Vibativ product.
(e) Year-to-date Adjusted Earnings includes a gain on the refund of 2022 and 2023 FDA fees in the amount of $2.8 million.
- Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted Earnings (loss) divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.
