2025 HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
International Expansion
In February 2025, Cumberland announced that its Vibativ® product received approval from the regulatory authorities in China, the world's second-largest pharmaceutical market. The announcement follows an agreement that provides SciClone Pharmaceuticals with the exclusive rights to register, promote and distribute the product to patients in the Chinese market.
In September 2025, Cumberland announced the launch of Vibativ in Saudi Arabia. The product launch follows an agreement with Tabuk Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Company to introduce Vibativ into the Middle East. The arrangement provided Tabuk exclusive rights to distribute Vibativ in Saudi Arabia and Jordan, with the option to expand into other countries in the region. Tabuk has obtained the final approvals needed to commercialize Vibativ in Saudi Arabia.
In October 2025, Cumberland's ibuprofen injection product received regulatory approval in Mexico. The company previously announced its partnership with PiSA Farmaceutica, a well-established Mexican pharmaceutical firm. Under the agreement, PiSA is provided with the exclusive supply and distribution rights for the ibuprofen product in the Mexican market while Cumberland provides regulatory and manufacturing support. PiSA plans to introduce the product, making it accessible for a variety of clinical uses in Mexican healthcare facilities.
Expanded Commercial Portfolio
In October 2025, Cumberland announced arrangements with RedHill Biopharma Ltd. to jointly commercialize Talicia®, marking the latest addition to its commercial product portfolio. The FDA-approved oral capsule is indicated for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in adults, a bacterial infection and leading risk factor for gastric cancer.
Through a co-commercialization agreement, Cumberland assumed responsibility for the distribution and sale of Talicia in the U.S. Cumberland records Talicia product sales and equally shares Talicia's net revenues. Cumberland will provide an annual investment to cover certain distribution, marketing and sales costs. Leveraging its established field sales division, Cumberland leads the sales promotion for Talicia with the goal to increase the number of patients who benefit from the treatment.
Talicia is the only all-in-one treatment containing omeprazole, amoxicillin and rifabutin, and is now recommended as a first-line therapy in the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) clinical guidelines. Talicia is patent protected through 2042 and received eight years of U.S. market exclusivity under its Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation.
CMS Establishes Reimbursement for Caldolor®
Through Permanent J-Code
Caldolor® received a key reimbursement milestone with the establishment of its permanent J-code, J1741, in December 2025. The J-Code is now officially linked to a CMS reimbursement price. This designation enables healthcare providers to access a clearly defined and reimbursable pathway for Caldolor, supporting its continued adoption across hospital and clinical settings.
As the nation continues to address the opioid crisis, Caldolor offers an important non-opioid option for managing pain and fever. The availability of CMS reimbursement through J1741 enhances provider access to this therapy, supporting safer pain management strategies and helping reduce reliance on opioid medications.
This reimbursement milestone reinforces Caldolor's role as a clinically proven, non-opioid alternative and strengthens its position within hospital protocols and opioid-sparing treatment initiatives. It also supports broader access for patients while advancing efforts to improve outcomes and promote responsible pain management.
Clinical Top-Line Study Results
In early 2025, Cumberland announced positive top-line results from its FIGHT DMD clinical trial. The study evaluated ifetroban, a novel oral therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) heart disease – the leading cause of death in DMD patients. It marks a breakthrough for these patients, as it is the first successful Phase II study specifically targeting the cardiac complications of their condition. Ifetroban has been studied in over 1,400 subjects across multiple clinical trials, demonstrating a well-established safety profile.
The trial enrolled 41 DMD patients who received either low dose ifetroban (150 mg per day), high dose ifetroban (300 mg per day) or placebo. The study's primary endpoint was an improvement in the heart's left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF). Key findings included:
High dose ifetroban treatment resulted in an overall 3.3% improvement in LVEF.
The high dose ifetroban group showed an increase in 1.8% in LVEF, while the study placebo group showed an expected decline in LVEF of 1.5%.
When compared with propensity matched natural history controls, the difference was even more pronounced, with the high dose treatment providing a significant 5.4% overall improvement in LVEF, as the control patients experienced a 3.6% decline in LVEF.
Both doses of ifetroban were well-tolerated, with no serious drug-related events.
The top-line FIGHT DMD study findings were selected for a late-breaking presentation at the Muscular Dystrophy Association's Clinical & Scientific Conference in March 2025 and they were presented at the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy Annual Conference in June 2025.
Cumberland held two meetings with the FDA to discuss the study results and remaining development path forward. This DMD program received Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease designation from the FDA in late 2024. In addition, the FDA also provided Fast Track Designation for the Program in early 2026.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:
This press release contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to certain risks and reflect Cumberland's current views on future events based on what it believes are reasonable assumptions. No assurance can be given that these events will occur. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding the Company's intent, belief or expectations, and can be identified by the use of terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "goal", "should," "seek," "anticipate," "look forward" and other comparable terms or the negative thereof. As with any business, all phases of Cumberland's operations are subject to factors outside of its control, and any one or combination of these factors could materially affect Cumberland's operation results. These factors include macroeconomic conditions, including changes in interest rates, inflation, tariffs, competition, an inability of manufacturers to produce Cumberland's products on a timely basis, failure of manufacturers to comply with regulations applicable to pharmaceutical manufacturers, natural disasters, public health epidemics, maintaining an effective sales and marketing infrastructure, and other events beyond the Company's control as more fully discussed in its most recent annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as well as the Company's other filings with the SEC from time to time. There can be no assurance that results anticipated by the company will be realized or that they will have the expected effects. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly revise these statements to reflect events after the date hereof.
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.
(a) Represents the share-based compensation of Cumberland.
(b) Represents the straight line reduction in carrying value of right-of-use assets.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted loss divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.
