Cornerstone Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

• | Strong growth in product sales, fueled by 64% increase in ZYFLO® and 8% increase in CUROSURF® sales year over year |
• | FDA approves ANDA for CRTX 067, a generic equivalent for the product currently sold under the Tussionex® brand name |

CARY, N.C., August 9, 2012 –Cornerstone Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: CRTX), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing products for the hospital and related specialty markets, today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Total net revenues were $21.5 million for the second quarter of 2012 versus $28.0 million reported for the second quarter of 2011, a decline of 23%, reflecting the divestiture of certain non-strategic assets. Net sales from the ZYFLO family of products and CUROSURF grew 64% and 8% to $10.8 million and $9.3 million respectively, for the second quarter of 2012 versus second quarter 2011.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2012 was $4.4 million, or a loss of $0.17 per diluted share, compared to net income of $197,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $2.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, remaining substantially unchanged from non-GAAP net income of $2.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP net income and net income per diluted share exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of product rights, transaction-related expenses, acquisition accounting adjustments related to inventory sold and the gain on the divestiture of certain product rights.
“We laid out our strategic plan in June 2011 to transform the Company and we continue to make significant progress towards our goals,” said Craig A. Collard, Chief Executive Officer. “We closed the acquisition of EKR Therapeutics and we expect to complete our integration on schedule by the end of Q3. We are integrating quickly and have identified up to $18 million in annualized expenses related to the EKR business which we believe we can eliminate as we align our sales force, reduce administrative resources and combine our operations.”
As part of the acquisition of EKR Therapeutics, Inc., on June 26, 2012 Cornerstone acquired full product rights to CARDENE® I.V. and RETAVASE®. Cornerstone began to actively market CARDENE I.V. at the end of the second quarter to the hospital channel alongside CUROSURF.
CARDENE I.V. net product sales for the period from the acquisition date to June 30, 2012 were $736,000. CARDENE I.V. net product sales from January 1, 2012 through the acquisition date were approximately $26 million. These pre-acquisition sales are unaudited and not included in Cornerstone’s historical financial results.
In July 2012, Cornerstone announced that the FDA approved CRTX 067, the generic of the Tussionex® product.
“We are excited about expanding our generic portfolio of products and look forward to launching this product before the start of the upcoming respiratory season,” commented Collard.
On July 24, 2012 the FDA announced that the Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee (CRDAC) had scheduled a review of the NDA for CRTX 080, Cornerstone’s investigational candidate for the treatment of symptomatic hypervolemic and euvolemic hyponatremia associated with heart failure and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), respectively. The advisory committee meeting is scheduled for September 13, 2012 in advance of the October 29, 2012 Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date.

Gross margin (exclusive of license and royalty agreement revenues and amortization of product rights) for the second quarter of 2012 was 59%, as compared to gross margin of 67% in the second quarter of 2011. The lower gross margin was primarily due to a relatively higher percentage of total net product sales derived from products with lower gross margins, specifically CUROSURF.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.7 million, or 23%, for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in certain employee-related costs driven by the divestiture of the anti-infective product rights and respiratory sales force in March 2012.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $38.6 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $74.0 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease primarily represents the cash-on-hand used to help fund the EKR Therapeutics acquisition.

Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (including, without limitation, statements containing the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions) should also be considered to be forward-looking statements.
There are a number of important factors that could cause our actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including risks relating to our “critical accounting estimates”; our ability to develop and maintain the necessary sales, marketing, supply chain, distribution and manufacturing capabilities to commercialize our products; our ability to replace the revenues from our marketed unapproved products, which we ceased manufacturing and distributing at the end of 2010, our propoxyphene products, which we voluntarily withdrew from the U.S. market in November 2010 at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and our anti-infective products, which we divested in March 2012; the adverse impact of returns of previously sold inventory; patient, physician and third-party payer acceptance of our products as safe and effective therapeutic products; our heavy dependence on the commercial success of a relatively small number of currently marketed products; our ability to maintain regulatory approvals to market and sell our products; our ability to obtain FDA approval to manufacture, market and sell our products and product candidates, including our lixivaptan compound, CRTX 080, and RETAVASE; our ability to enter into additional strategic licensing, product acquisition, collaboration or co-promotion transactions on favorable terms, if at all; our ability to manage and control unknown liabilities in connection with any acquisitions; our ability to successfully manage growth or integrate acquired businesses and operations; our ability to maintain compliance with NASDAQ listing requirements; adverse side effects experienced by patients taking our products; difficulties relating to clinical trials, including difficulties or delays in the completion of patient enrollment, data collection or data analysis; the results of preclinical studies and clinical trials with respect to our product candidates and whether such results will be indicative of results obtained in later clinical trials; our ability to develop and commercialize our product candidates before our competitors develop and commercialize competing products; our ability to satisfy FDA and other regulatory requirements; our substantial indebtedness and debt covenants; and our ability to obtain, maintain and enforce patent and other intellectual property protection for our products and product candidates and the other factors described in Item 1A (Risk Factors) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2012 and in our subsequent filings with the SEC. If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
In addition, the statements in this press release reflect our expectations and beliefs only as of the date of this release.
