     -- Sold Cork and Landen businesses to ICIG in fourth quarter 2006; Cork

     -- Annualized cost of reduced Corporate infrastructure to reach $17.5

    Strategic Alternatives and Basis of Reporting Pursuant to its
evaluation of strategic alternatives during 2006, Cambrex sold its two
businesses in Cork, Ireland and Landen, Belgium during the fourth quarter
of 2006, both previously reported within its Human Health segment. Cambrex
also divested its Bioproducts and Biopharma business segments (the "Bio
Businesses") on February 6, 2007. The results from the Cork and Landen
businesses are included within Discontinued Operations for all periods
presented in this release and the results of the Bio Businesses are
included within Continuing Operations for all periods presented, as
required by GAAP. Cambrex will begin to report the Bio Businesses as
Discontinued Operations during the first quarter of 2007.
    As previously announced, the Company expects to use the proceeds from
the sale of the Bio Businesses along with funds borrowed under a new credit
facility, assuming such facility can be arranged with favorable terms, to
pay a special dividend of $13.50 to $14.50 per share.
    Consistent with prior earnings releases, Adjusted (non-GAAP) results
are used throughout this press release and the accompanying tables to
better reflect the underlying results of operations for the periods
presented. A reconciliation of GAAP results to Adjusted (non-GAAP) results
can be found in the unaudited financial tables included in this press
release.
    Human Health and Corporate Segments
    The Human Health business, which now excludes Cork and Landen, provides
products and services to accelerate the development and commercialization
of branded and generic small molecule therapeutics, and is comprised of
four world-class manufacturing and research facilities (Charles City, Iowa;
Karlskoga, Sweden; Milan, Italy, and the Center of Technical Excellence in
North Brunswick, New Jersey).
    Fourth Quarter 2006
    Sales in the Human Health segment increased 7.5% in the fourth quarter
2006 to $66.0 million versus $61.4 million last year. After a favorable
currency impact of 4.8%, the improvement was due primarily to increased
demand for branded active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) partially
offset by decreased sales of certain generic APIs.
    Fourth quarter 2006 Human Health Adjusted gross margin decreased to
33.4% from 35.3% in the fourth quarter 2005, primarily due to pricing
pressures on certain APIs and increased production costs. Foreign currency
unfavorably impacted Adjusted gross margin by 0.7 of a percentage point in
the fourth quarter 2006. Fourth quarter 2006 Human Health operating profit
increased to $12.9 million versus Adjusted operating profit of $12.6
million in the fourth quarter 2005 due to higher sales offset by a lower
gross margin percentage versus the same period last year. Operating
expenses were flat versus prior year. Foreign exchange had a negligible
impact on Human Health Adjusted operating profit during the fourth quarter
2006.
    Corporate operating expenses during the fourth quarter 2006 were $12.8
million, compared to $9.2 million during the fourth quarter 2005. Adjusted
operating expenses for Corporate for the fourth quarter 2006 were $8.3
million versus $5.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase
primarily reflects increased legal, bonus, and audit expenses.
    Full Year 2006
    Sales in the Human Health segment increased 5.9% to $236.7 million
during 2006 from $223.6 million in 2005 due to an increase in the number of
custom development projects and greater demand for generic APIs partially
offset by decreased sales of certain branded APIs. Foreign currency
favorably impacted sales growth by 0.5 of a percentage point during 2006.
Human Health Adjusted gross margin during 2006 decreased to 35.4% compared
to 38.6% in 2005, reflecting increased production costs and pricing
pressures on certain products. Foreign currency unfavorably impacted
Adjusted gross margin by 1.1 percentage points during 2006. Human Health
operating profit for 2006 was $49.2 million, or 20.8% of sales, versus an
Adjusted operating profit of $51.0 million, or 22.8% of sales, in 2005 due
to lower gross margins described above offset by reductions in operating
expenses. Foreign currency unfavorably impacted Adjusted Human Health
operating margin as a percentage of sales by 1.1 percentage points in 2006.
    Corporate operating expenses for 2006 were $37.4 million, compared to
$25.9 million during the 2005. Adjusted Corporate operating expenses during
2006 were $28.8 million, compared to $22.7 million during the previous
year. The increase is primarily due to an increase in legal fees, bonus
expense, and audit fees, as well as benefits related to stock appreciation
rights in 2005 that did not recur in 2006.
    James A. Mack, Chairman, President, and CEO of Cambrex commented: "We
achieved growth in our Human Health segment during 2006 despite the demands
of the strategic alternatives process. We are confident that prevailing
market forces will lead to more outsourcing of custom development and
commercial manufacturing for branded APIs as well as greater demand for
generic APIs. In 2007 we will focus on continued cost reductions, the
implementation of strategic capital investments to increase capacity at
each of our manufacturing facilities, strengthening and building upon our
proprietary taste masking and other technologies, and restructuring the
corporate cost center."
    Bioproducts and Biopharma Segments
    As previously announced, Cambrex completed the sale of the Bio
Businesses to Lonza AG during February 2007. As a result, Cambrex will
begin to report the Bio Businesses as Discontinued Operations during the
first quarter of 2007.
    Bioproducts
    The Bioproducts segment includes products and services for research and
therapeutic applications. Bioproducts sales in the fourth quarter 2006
increased 15.4% to $41.4 million, including a 3.7% favorable impact from
foreign currency, reflecting growth in most product categories. Fourth
quarter 2006 gross margin was nearly flat at 50.4% versus Adjusted gross
margin of 50.6% in the fourth quarter 2005. Foreign currency favorably
impacted Bioproducts gross margin by 0.7 of a percentage point in the
fourth quarter 2006. Bioproducts Adjusted operating profit margin during
the fourth quarter of 2006 was 14.6% of sales versus 15.4% during the
fourth quarter of 2005 due to increased operating expenses. Foreign
currency favorably impacted Bioproducts operating profit margin by 0.6 of a
percentage point in the fourth quarter 2006.
    Full year 2006 Bioproducts sales increased 9.1% to $163.1 million,
including a 0.4% favorable impact from foreign currency, versus $149.5
million in 2005. Gross margin for 2006 decreased to 51.7% versus an
Adjusted gross margin of 52.6% in the full year 2005 due to higher
production costs. Foreign currency favorably impacted Bioproducts gross
margin by 0.8 of a percentage point in 2006. Bioproducts Adjusted operating
profit margin during 2006 was nearly flat at 17.8% versus 17.9% in 2005.
Foreign currency favorably impacted Bioproducts operating profit margin by
0.7 of a percentage point in 2006.
    Biopharma
    The Biopharma segment consists of the Company's contract
biopharmaceutical process development and manufacturing business. Sales in
the fourth quarter 2006 increased 22.2% to $17.0 million versus $14.0
million in the fourth quarter 2005. Fourth quarter 2006 Biopharma gross
margin improved to 23.6% versus an Adjusted gross margin of 8.2% in the
fourth quarter 2005. Fourth quarter 2006 Biopharma operating profit was
$1.7 million versus an Adjusted operating loss of $2.1 million in the
fourth quarter 2005. The improved gross margin and operating profit results
were a result of higher suite and process development fees. Foreign
currency had no impact on Biopharma sales, gross margin or operating profit
margin.
    Full year 2006 Biopharma sales were $52.5 million versus $41.7 million
in 2005, a 25.9% increase. Biopharma gross margin during 2006 improved to
6.2% compared to an Adjusted gross margin of -7.6% in the previous year.
Biopharma operating loss during 2006 was $6.1 million versus an Adjusted
operating loss of $14.1 million in 2005.
    Consolidated Results
    Fourth Quarter 2006
    On a GAAP basis, Cambrex reported income from continuing operations of
$0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $97.6
million, or $3.66 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2005. Excluding
certain items included in the attached GAAP to Adjusted (non-GAAP)
reconciliation tables, Adjusted fourth quarter 2006 net income was $6.7
million, or $0.25 per diluted share. On a comparable basis, Adjusted fourth
quarter 2005 net income was $5.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share.
    Sales increased 11.9% to $124.4 million in the fourth quarter 2006,
including a 3.9% favorable impact from foreign currency, from $111.2
million in the fourth quarter 2005, reflecting improved sales performance
across all business segments. Gross margins for the fourth quarter 2006
increased to 37.7% from 36.5% in the fourth quarter 2005 primarily due to
improved sales in the Biopharma segment partially offset by higher
production costs within Bioproducts and declines in Human Health gross
margins described earlier in this release. Foreign currency unfavorably
impacted consolidated gross margin by 0.1 percentage point in the fourth
quarter 2006.
    During the fourth quarter 2006, Adjusted operating profit was $12.4
million versus $10.4 million during the same period in 2005. This is due to
increased profitability within all operating segments of the business
offset by an increase in corporate expenses explained earlier in this
release.
    Full Year 2006 Consolidated Results
    On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a loss from continuing operations
of $1.2 million, or $0.05 loss per diluted share, compared to a loss of
$83.2 million, or $3.15 per diluted share, in 2005. Excluding certain items
included in the attached GAAP to Adjusted (non-GAAP) reconciliation tables,
2006 net income was $17.6 million, or $0.65 per diluted share. Excluding
certain items included in the attached GAAP to Adjusted (non-GAAP)
reconciliation tables, net income was $17.7 million, or $0.67 per diluted
share in 2005.
    Sales increased 9.0% to $452.3 million in 2006, including a 0.4%
favorable impact from foreign currency, from $414.8 million in 2005,
reflecting improved sales performance across all business segments. Gross
margins during 2006 decreased to 37.9% from an Adjusted gross margin of
39.0% in the previous year primarily due to improved sales in the Biopharma
segment partially offset by higher production costs within Bioproducts and
reductions in Human Health gross margins described earlier in this release.
Foreign currency unfavorably impacted consolidated gross margin by 0.3 of a
percentage point in 2006.
    During 2006, Adjusted operating profit was $43.2 million, versus $40.9
million in 2005 reflecting increased profits in Bioproducts and an
improvement in Biopharma, offset by a decrease in Human Health operating
profit and higher corporate expenses, both described earlier in this
release.
    Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2006 Consolidated Interest and Tax
Expenses
    Net interest expense in the fourth quarter 2006 was $2.3 million, which
was flat compared to the same period last year. For the full year 2006,
Adjusted net interest expense decreased to $8.6 million from $9.8 million
during 2005 reflecting lower average debt offset by higher interest rates.
    The Adjusted tax rate in the fourth quarter 2006 was 34.6% compared to
33.3% in the fourth quarter of 2005. The Adjusted full year tax rate in
2006 was 49.2% compared to 42.9% in 2005. The difference in the Adjusted
tax rate is due to geographic shifts in income between the periods. Since
the Company is currently not recording any tax benefit for U.S. and certain
European losses, the consolidated effective tax rate has been and is
expected to be highly volatile.
    Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2006 Capital Expenditures, Depreciation,
and
    Amortization
    For the combined Human Health and Corporate cost centers, capital
expenditures and depreciation were $13.3 million and $4.4 million,
respectively, during the fourth quarter 2006 compared to $5.4 million of
capital expenditures and $4.6 million of depreciation in the fourth quarter
of 2005. Full year 2006 combined Human Health and Corporate cost center
capital expenditures and depreciation were $29.0 million and $19.0 million,
respectively, compared to $19.3 million of capital expenditures and $19.9
million of depreciation during 2005. The combined Human Health and
Corporate cost centers had negligible amortization expenses during the past
two years.
    For the entire Company, consolidated capital expenditures,
depreciation, and amortization for the fourth quarter 2006 were $17.0
million, $7.0 million, and $0.5 million compared to $11.6 million, $7.6
million, and $0.5 million in the fourth quarter 2005, respectively. For the
full year 2006, capital expenditures, depreciation, and amortization were
$42.6 million, $29.3 million, and $2.2 million, respectively, compared to
$37.2 million, $30.8 million, and $2.2 million in 2005.
    Guidance
    Sales growth during 2007 within the Human Health segment is expected to
be within the range of 5% to 10% and operating profit is expected to be in
the range of $50 to $55 million. The Company expects to restructure the
corporate office during 2007 and achieve an annualized run rate of $17.5
million in operating expenses by the end of 2007. Significant charges will
be incurred during 2007 related to change in control, retention, and
severance arrangements pursuant to the strategic alternatives process that
resulted in the sale of the Bio Businesses and our Cork, Ireland and
Landen, Belgium businesses. The Company expects to provide an update on its
corporate restructuring later in the year.
    For 2007, capital expenditures and depreciation for continuing
operations are currently expected to be approximately $30 to $33 million
and $21 to $23 million, respectively.
    Full year and quarterly effective tax rates will continue to be highly
sensitive to the geographic mix of income or losses.
