AND GROSS PROFIT OF $315 MILLION FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS IN 2007
2007 Income from Continuing Operations, Net of Income Tax, Increased to $82 Million Compared with $55 Million in 2006
SCHAUMBURG, Illinois– March 7, 2008 – APP Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:APPX), a leading manufacturer of multi-source and branded injectable pharmaceutical products, today reported audited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2007. As a result of the separation of Abraxis Bioscience from APP Pharmaceuticals, APP’s business is reported, for all periods reported, on a continuing operations basis and Abraxis Bioscience’s business, as well as a majority of separation related costs, is reported in discontinued operations.
“APP has emerged as a market leading injectable products company with a sharpened business focus, flexible, high quality production, and a robust pipeline. With this broad and growing platform in place, APP expects to produce significant growth in net revenues and earnings as well as strong cash flow in 2008,” stated Patrick Soon-Shiong, M.D., Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of APP Pharmaceuticals.
For 2007, net revenues increased 11 percent to $647.4 million, compared with $583.2 million in 2006. Gross profit, excluding $16.4 million for amortization of purchased products, was $331.7 million, or 51 percent of net revenues. Income from continuing operations, net of income taxes, grew 49 percent to $82.2 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, from $55.2 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in 2006. Net income, including results from discontinued operations, was $34.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $46.9 million, or $0.30 per basic share, in 2006.
The company reported full-year adjusted income from continuing operations, net of income tax, of $136.2 million and adjusted income from continuing operations, net of income tax, per diluted share of $0.85, which, in each case excludes Puerto Rico facility pre-launch costs,


amortization expense, non-cash stock compensation expense and other items (see table at the end of this release).

Total operating expenses were $155.2 million, compared with $154.3 million in 2006. Research and development expenses were $46.5 million in 2007, compared with $27.8 million in 2006. This increase is primarily due to pre-launch activities at the Puerto Rico manufacturing facility. SG&A expenses in 2007 were $90.2 million, or 14 percent of net revenues, compared with $80.7 million, or 14 percent of net revenues, in the prior year.


“APP continues to be a leader in the industry with 15 drug approvals in 2007 and has increased its capacity with the addition of commercial production at our Puerto Rico facility,” said Tom Silberg, president of APP Pharmaceuticals. “Our team is effectively executing on our dual manufacturing capabilities, enabling the company to address market needs as they arise. We expect to remain a market leader in new product approvals while continuing to build APP’s pipeline and manufacturing capabilities during 2008.”

Recent Events
On February 19, 2008, the company announced that, in response to FDA and hospital concerns about a potential shortage of therapeutic heparin, it would immediately increase manufacturing of this product. Since that time, the company has ramped up production to a level the company believes is sufficient to meet the entire U.S. demand.
In February 2008, APP received approval for Irinotecan Hydrochloride Injection. The company has secured contracts and begun marketing and shipping the product.
The FDA inspected and approved the company’s facility in Puerto Rico for commercial manufacturing. APP has transferred to this facility and begun manufacturing three products.

GAAP to Adjusted Earnings from Continuing Operations Reconciliation
(unaudited, in thousands, except per share amounts)
Adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share are defined as income from continuing operations and diluted earnings from continuing operations per share, respectively, in each case excluding the impact of merger-related costs, non-cash stock compensation expense, minority interests, separation related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and Puerto Rico pre-launch costs.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income Excluding Items that Impact Comparability (Continued)
Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006
(unaudited, in millions, except per share amounts)
We define Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as income from continuing operations, excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, interest expense net of interest income and other income, income tax expense, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, merger costs, merger related in-process research and development charge, minority interests, pre-launch costs associated with Puerto Rico manufacturing facility, non-recurring legal costs and other separation related costs. We use adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to provide meaningful supplemental information to investors in understanding the underlying operating performance of the business and facilitate additional analysis by investors. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations can assist management and investors in assessing the financial operating performance and underlying strength of our core business. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations identically, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
