EXHIBIT 99.1 N E W S R E L E A S E (KING PHARMACEUTICALS LOGO) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE KING PHARMACEUTICALS REPORTS PRELIMINARY THIRD-QUARTER 2004 FINANCIAL RESULTS BRISTOL, TENNESSEE, October 28, 2004 - King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE:KG) today announced the following preliminary financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2004. Total revenues equaled $353.5 million during the third quarter ending September 30, 2004, a 28% increase in comparison to $275.1 million during the second quarter ending June 30, 2004 and a 22% increase in comparison to $290.6 million during the first quarter ending March 31, 2004. Brian M. Markison, President and Chief Executive Officer of King, stated, "We are very pleased with our preliminary financial results during the third quarter of 2004. Net sales of our branded pharmaceutical products during the third quarter ending September 30, 2004 increased significantly in comparison to that which we reported during the first two quarters of 2004. Accordingly, net sales of our branded pharmaceutical products during the third quarter of 2004 more closely reflect prescription demand. This improvement is a direct result of the successful implementation of our inventory management agreements with key customers earlier this year. As we go forward we believe our inventory management agreements should enable us to achieve financial results that even more closely reflect demand-based sales of our products and, as a result, provide a higher degree of predictability for our shareholders." As of September 30, 2004, four of King's key branded pharmaceutical products, Altace(R) (ramipril), Skelaxin(R) (metaxalone), Levoxyl(R) (levothyroxine sodium tablets, USP) and Sonata(R) (zaleplon), had an average wholesale inventory level of approximately 2.1 months of prescription demand based on data obtained through the Company's inventory management agreements and IMS America prescription data, a decrease from an average level of approximately 2.4 months of prescription demand as of the end of the second quarter of 2004. Mr. Markison also noted, "During the third quarter of 2004 we continued to successfully execute our strategies for future long-term growth by expanding our product pipeline through a strategic alliance with Palatin Technologies, Inc. to jointly develop, obtain regulatory approvals for, and commercialize Palatin's PT-141 for the treatment of male and potentially female sexual dysfunction. We believe the unique mechanism of action of PT-141 may offer important benefits over currently available products and satisfy the unmet medical needs of patients in this vast market." James R. Lattanzi, Chief Financial Officer of King, emphasized, "Our financial results during the third quarter of 2004 produced impressive cash flows from operations totaling approximately $140.0 million. Accordingly, King's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, which do not include restricted cash, totaled $248.2 million as of September 30, 2004." Mr. Lattanzi added, "In connection with the successful implementation of our inventory management agreements, we have experienced a high level of product returns. Considering this high level of returns, we have determined that a thorough evaluation of our returns reserve is prudent before we formally close the third quarter of 2004. Accordingly, the financial results that we are reporting today are preliminary and subject to the results of the Company's ongoing evaluation of its returns reserve. We plan to complete this process promptly. Moreover, we believe the Company has established an acceptable level of inventory for our products at this time, which (more) has already led to a more normal level of product returns. With these things in mind, we believe King is fundamentally well positioned for growth with an acceptable level of inventory in the channel and continued strong cash flow." The Company is now considering whether any of its returns reserve accrued during the first nine months of 2004 should have been recognized in years prior to 2004 and, if so, the relevant amounts and the materiality of those amounts. If material, such amounts would likely result in a restatement of previously issued financial statements and revisions of the preliminary financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 discussed herein. Under the Company's merger agreement with Mylan, it is a condition to Mylan's obligation to consummate the merger that no restatement of any of the Company's financial statements shall have occurred, and no restatement of any of the Company's financial statements shall be reasonably likely to occur. These issues involve the proper application of generally accepted accounting principles to King's reserve estimates and are unrelated to the ongoing investigations of the Company by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Office of the Inspector General ("OIG") of the Department of Health and Human Services. Notwithstanding these issues, King has a high degree of confidence that its ending returns reserve balance as of September 30, 2004 is fairly stated based on the Company's ongoing review and data provided by its customers pursuant to inventory management agreements. As stated above, total revenues equaled $353.5 million during the third quarter ending September 30, 2004, a decrease of 16% from $423.1 million during the third quarter of 2003. Net earnings during the third quarter ending September 30, 2004, including special items, decreased 74% to $27.6 million and diluted earnings per share decreased 75% to $0.11 per diluted share in comparison to net earnings of $106.1 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.44 in the same period of the prior year. Excluding special items, net earnings during the third quarter ending September 30, 2004 totaled $47.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, decreasing 53% and 52%, respectively, in comparison to net earnings of $101.7 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.42 during the third quarter of 2003. For the nine months ending September 30, 2004, total revenues decreased 19% to $919.2 million compared to $1,128.6 million during the first nine months of 2003. During the nine months ending September 30, 2004, including special items, King incurred a net loss of $147.0 million, or a loss of $0.61 per diluted share, in comparison to net earnings of $63.9 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.26 in the same period of the prior year. Excluding special items, net earnings decreased 68% to $85.1 million and diluted earnings per share decreased 68% to $0.35 during the nine months ending September 30, 2004, from net earnings of $266.6 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.10 during the first nine months of 2003. King recorded special items during the third quarter ending September 30, 2004, the net of which resulted in a charge totaling $28.5 million, or $20.0 million net of tax. More specifically, special items during the third quarter of 2004 include i) a charge of $17.1 million for in-process research and development associated with King's entry into a strategic alliance with Palatin; ii) a charge of $4.7 million primarily associated with the Company's decision to discontinue some relatively insignificant products associated with the Company's Meridian Medical Technologies business; iii) a charge of $2.8 million for professional fees and expenses associated with the Company's previously announced plan to merge with Mylan Laboratories Inc.; iv) a charge of $2.2 million resulting from discontinued operations; v) a $2.3 million charge primarily for professional fees associated with ongoing government investigations of the Company; vi) a $3.6 million charge primarily related to excess purchase commitments for Procanbid(R) (procainamide hydrochloride extended-release tablets); and vii) income in the amount of $4.2 million primarily due to a gain on the sale of all rights to Estrasorb(TM) and all convertible notes of Novavax, Inc. previously held by the Company. King recorded special items during (more) the third quarter ending September 30, 2003, the net of which resulted in income totaling $6.8 million, or $4.3 million net of tax. Special items during the third quarter of 2003 were attributable primarily to a gain on the sale of the Company's animal health products, income resulting from a decrease in the valuation allowance for Novavax convertible notes then held by the Company, and a charge for professional fees associated with ongoing government investigations of the Company. During the six month period ending June 30, 2004, King recorded special charges totaling $294.7 million, or $212.0 million net of tax, primarily due to a loss from discontinued operations that resulted from the Company's decision to divest many of its women's health products, and a charge representing the Company's current best estimate of the interest, costs, fines, penalties and all other amounts in excess of the amount King previously accrued for purposes of resolving the ongoing government investigations of the Company. During the six month period ending June 30, 2003, King recorded special charges totaling $310.5 million, or $207.0 million net of tax, primarily due to charges for acquired in-process research and development, professional fees associated with ongoing government investigations of the Company, a product recall, a decrease in the valuation allowance for Novavax convertible notes then held by the Company, and an intangible asset impairment charge. Preliminary net revenue from branded pharmaceuticals, including royalty income, totaled $313.9 million during the third quarter of 2004, a 17% decrease from the third quarter of 2003. Meridian Medical Technologies, our wholly owned subsidiary, contributed $33.9 million of net revenue in the third quarter of 2004 compared to $38.4 million during the same period of the prior year. Net revenue from contract manufacturing during the third quarter of 2004 equaled $5.7 million. Altace(R) net sales equaled $133.3 million in the third quarter of 2004, a 6% increase from $125.4 million during the third quarter of 2003. Net sales of Thrombin-JMI(R) totaled $53.4 million during the third quarter ending September 30, 2004, an increase of 32% from $40.4 million during third quarter of 2003. Sonata(R) net sales equaled $25.8 million during the third quarter of 2004, a 26% increase compared to $20.5 million during the third quarter ending September 30, 2003. Net sales of Skelaxin(R) totaled $43.0 million during the third quarter of 2004, a 51% decrease compared to $87.9 million during the third quarter of 2003. Levoxyl(R) net sales equaled $18.6 million during the third quarter ending September 30, 2004, a 29% decrease compared to $26.3 million during the third quarter of 2003. Royalty revenues, derived primarily from Adenoscan(R) (adenosine), totaled $20.3 million in the third quarter of 2004, a 25% increase from $16.3 million during the same period of the prior year. As part of King's continuing discussions with governmental agencies pertaining to the previously announced ongoing investigations of the Company by the SEC and the OIG, King has continued to discuss the possibility of settling these matters. King has not yet reached any agreements or understandings with respect to the terms of such a settlement and may not ever be able to reach such an agreement. However, based on the status of the discussions to date, the Company now believes that it is reasonably likely that it will be able to achieve a comprehensive settlement with all relevant governmental parties on the following terms: (more) o As of June 30, 2004, King had accrued $130.4 million in respect of the Company's estimated underpayments to Medicaid and other government pricing programs, and estimated settlement costs with all relevant governmental parties. King's current expectation is that the aggregate cost to settle with the governmental authorities should not materially exceed the amounts already accrued. o With respect to the matters being investigated by the staff of the SEC, King currently anticipates that the Company would settle, without admitting or denying, one or more charges that the Company failed to maintain adequate books and records and internal controls. King anticipates that the action to be settled would not include charges that the Company's past or present public filings contained material misstatements or omissions, and the Company does not anticipate being required to restate any past or present financial statements as a result of the pending investigation. o King expects that the Company will be required to enter into a Corporate Integrity Agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services, which would require the Company to submit to audits relating to its Medicaid rebate calculations over a five year period. King does not expect that the resolution of the pending investigations will result in any prohibitions on the Company's sales to Medicaid or any related state or Federal program, nor does King expect any other material restriction on the Company's ability to conduct its business, although the Company would be required to incur consultant fees and other expenses in order to comply with the Corporate Integrity Agreement. o King does not expect that any criminal charges will be asserted against the Company or against any present or former director, officer or employee in connection with the matters being investigated. King's ability to achieve a settlement on these or other terms is subject to substantial uncertainties. The Company's discussions to date have been conducted with the staffs of various agencies and other governmental authorities. King does not yet have any agreements or understandings with any of them. Even if the Company were to reach such an agreement or understanding with staff personnel, it would be subject to the approval of numerous more senior representatives of the governmental parties, including the members of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, senior officials in the Departments of Justice, Health and Human Services and Veterans Affairs, and senior officials in most or all of the States. King expects that the Company's agreements with the various governmental parties would also require that those governmental parties reach numerous agreements among themselves, and that the consummation of the Company's agreement with each governmental party would be dependent on consummation of the Company's agreements with other governmental parties. King also expects that some aspects of a comprehensive settlement would require court approval. In light of these uncertainties, King stresses that the Company may not be able to reach a settlement with the governmental parties, whether on the terms described above or at all. As a result, the ultimate amount that the Company will actually have to pay to resolve these matters could be materially more than the amount accrued to date, and the terms could otherwise be materially less favorable than those described above. Because of these uncertainties and the complexity of completing a comprehensive resolution, King is not yet able to estimate with reasonable confidence the amount of time that will be required to enter into and consummate comprehensive settlement agreements. The possible settlement described above would not apply to the related pending class actions and derivative suits or any other (more) claims by private plaintiffs. While King denies any liability, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the class actions and derivative suits or reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any.

ABOUT KING PHARMACEUTICALS King, headquartered in Bristol, Tennessee, is a vertically integrated branded pharmaceutical company. King, an S&P 500 Index company, seeks to capitalize on opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry through the development, including through in-licensing arrangements and acquisitions, of novel branded prescription pharmaceutical products in attractive markets and the strategic acquisition of branded products that can benefit from focused promotion and marketing and product life-cycle management. As previously reported, Mylan Laboratories Inc. and King have signed a definitive agreement under which Mylan will acquire King in a stock-for-stock transaction, creating a leading diversified specialty pharmaceutical company. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and shareholder approvals. ABOUT GAAP Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), "net earnings" and "diluted earnings per share" include special items. In addition to the results determined in accordance with GAAP, King provides its net earnings and diluted earnings per share results for the third quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2004 excluding special items. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude special items which King considers to be those items that do not relate to the Company's ongoing, underlying business, are non-recurring, or are not generally predictable. These items include, but are not limited to, merger and restructuring expenses; non-capitalized expenses associated with acquisitions, such as in-process research and development charges and one-time inventory valuation adjustment charges; charges resulting from the early extinguishment of debt; asset impairment charges; expenses of drug recalls; revenues and expenses associated with discontinued operations; and gains and losses resulting from the divestiture of assets. King believes the identification of special items enhances an analysis of the Company's ongoing, underlying business and an analysis of the Company's financial results when comparing those results to that of a previous or subsequent like period. However, it should be noted that the determination of whether to classify an item as a special item involves judgments by King's management. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures referenced herein and King's financial results determined in accordance with GAAP is provided below.

S. Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") review of Investigational New Drug Applications ("IND"), New Drug Applications ("NDA"), supplemental New Drug Applications ("sNDA"), and Abbreviated New Drug Applications ("ANDA") and/or the review of other regulatory agencies worldwide; dependence on King's ability to maintain effective patent protection for Altace(R) and Skelaxin(R); dependence on the ability of the Company's dedicated field sales force representatives to successfully market King's branded pharmaceutical products; dependence on our compliance with FDA and other government regulations that relate to our business; and dependence on changes in general economic and business conditions; changes in current pricing levels; changes in federal and state laws and regulations; and manufacturing capacity constraints. Other important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements are discussed in the "Risk Factors" section and other sections of King's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 and Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004 which are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. King does not undertake to publicly update or revise any of its forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes show that the indicated results or events will not be realized. # # # CONTACT: James E.
