King Pharmaceuticals Reports Second-Quarter 2007 Financial Results

BRISTOL, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 7, 2007 - King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: KG) announced today that total revenues increased 9% to a record high $543 million during the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to $500 million in the second quarter of 2006. Reported net income equaled $65 million and diluted income per share equaled $0.26 during the second quarter of 2007, compared to net earnings of $111 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.46 in the second quarter of the prior year. Excluding special items, net earnings equaled $117 million and diluted earnings per share equaled $0.48 during the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to net earnings of $112 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.46 in the second quarter of 2006.

Brian A. Markison, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of King, stated, "During the second quarter of 2007, we continued to deliver solid financial results and advance several promising product opportunities in our development pipeline. Importantly, we, together with our partner Pain Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTIE), recently announced the completion of patient enrollment in the pivotal Phase III clinical trial for REMOXY(TM) (long acting oral oxycodone), our lead investigational product for moderate to severe pain. REMOXY(TM)'s sustained release formulation has the potential to reduce the improper and often intentional accelerated release of oxycodone through crushing, heating, or dissolution in alcohol that is reported with respect to other long acting opioids."

Mr. Markison continued, "We also recently announced positive results from our Phase III clinical trial evaluating our ALTACE(R) (ramipril) diuretic combination product, and expect to file a New Drug Application for this product in the second half of this year. Another important R&D accomplishment is the recent initiation of our Phase II clinical trial program evaluating the safety and efficacy of T-62, a potential major advance in the treatment of neuropathic pain."

Mr. Markison concluded, "In addition to the significant advancements we are making with our new product pipeline, we are also continuing to evaluate many business development opportunities and remain committed to executing our strategy to provide long-term growth for our shareholders."

As of June 30, 2007, the Company's cash and cash equivalents and investments in debt securities totaled approximately $923 million. King generated strong cash flow from operations of $145 million during the second quarter of 2007.

About Special Items

Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), reported "net earnings" and "diluted earnings per share" include special items. In addition to the reported results determined in accordance with GAAP, King provides its net earnings and diluted earnings per share results for the second quarters and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, excluding special items. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude special items which are those particular material income or expense items that King considers to be unrelated to the Company's ongoing, underlying business, non-recurring, or not generally predictable. Such 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; and gains and losses resulting from the divestiture of assets. King believes the identification of special items enhances the analysis of the Company's ongoing, underlying business and the 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 reported financial results determined in accordance with GAAP is provided below.
