EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ USA
    EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cambrex
Corporation (NYSE: CBM) reports second quarter 2006 results for the period
ended June 30, 2006.
    (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000613/CAMBREXLOGO )
    To better reflect ongoing operations for the periods presented,
Adjusted (non-GAAP) results are used throughout this press release and the
accompanying tables. The second quarter 2006 Adjusted financial results
exclude costs related to the evaluation of strategic alternatives ($0.05
Diluted Earnings per Share) and a small amount of cost related to the
Cutanogen acquisition. The second quarter 2005 financial results exclude
the benefit of a favorable Swedish tax court decision ($0.13 Diluted
Earnings per Share). In addition to the aforementioned items, certain
employee medical benefit expenses in 2005 and 2006 were reclassified from
segment Cost of Sales and Operating Expense to Corporate Administrative
Expenses to better reflect actual costs incurred within the operating
segments and are included in the GAAP/Non-GAAP reconciliation tables. A
reconciliation of GAAP results to Adjusted (non-GAAP) results can be found
in the unaudited financial tables included in this press release.
    Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share were $0.09 in the second quarter
2006 compared with $0.14 in the second quarter 2005 primarily due to higher
income taxes partially offset by higher pre-tax income. Second quarter 2006
GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share were $0.04 compared to $0.27 in the second
quarter 2005.
    Second quarter 2006 sales revenue increased 6.4% to $123.6 million from
$116.2 million in the second quarter 2005 due to strong performance in the
Human Health and Bioproducts segments. Foreign currency impact on
consolidated sales revenue was negligible in the quarter.
    Second quarter 2006 Adjusted Gross Profit increased 3.5% to $42.1
million, or 34.1% of sales, including an unfavorable impact of 0.6% for
foreign currency, from $40.7 million, or 35.0% of sales, in the second
quarter 2005 primarily due to higher sales volumes partially offset by
lower Gross Profit in the Biopharma segment. Second quarter 2006 GAAP Gross
Profit was $42.8 million, or 34.6% of sales, including an unfavorable
impact of 0.6% for foreign currency, compared to $40.3 million, or 34.7% of
sales, in the second quarter 2005.
    Second quarter 2006 Adjusted Operating Profit increased 5.7% to $9.6
million, or 7.8% of sales in the second quarter 2006, from $9.1 million, or
7.8% of sales, in the second quarter 2005. Second quarter 2006 GAAP
Operating Profit was $8.2 million, or 6.6% of sales in the second quarter
2006, compared to $9.1 million, or 7.8% of sales, in the second quarter
2005.
    Second quarter 2006 Adjusted Income before Taxes increased 12.2% to
$7.2 million from $6.4 million in the second quarter 2005 due to lower
Interest Expense and higher Operating Profit. Second quarter 2006 GAAP
Income before Taxes was $5.8 million compared to $6.4 million in the second
quarter 2005.
    Strategic Alternatives
    On February 2, 2006, Cambrex announced that it had retained Bear
Stearns as investment bankers to assist the Board of Directors in
identifying and assessing strategic alternatives to increase shareholder
value. Significant progress was made on this initiative during the second
quarter and continues to be a top priority of the Cambrex Board of
Directors and executive management team. The Company will issue updates as
decisions are reached on this matter.
    Business Segment Results

    Bioproducts
    The Bioproducts segment includes products and services for research and
therapeutic applications. Bioproducts Sales in the second quarter 2006
increased 8.1% to $41.1 million from $38.0 million in the second quarter
2005 primarily due to higher sales in most product categories partially
offset by lower sales of therapeutic cell culture media. Foreign currency
had no impact on Bioproducts Sales revenue in the quarter.
    Second quarter 2006 Bioproducts Adjusted Gross Margin decreased
slightly to 51.1% from 51.4% in the second quarter 2005 due to higher
production costs and inventory discards partially offset by favorable sales
volume and pricing. Foreign currency favorably impacted Bioproducts gross
margin by 0.6 percentage points in the second quarter 2006. Second quarter
2006 Bioproducts GAAP Gross Margin was 51.8% versus 50.9% in the second
quarter 2005.
    Second quarter 2006 Bioproducts Adjusted Operating Profit Margin
increased to 19.0% from 16.1% in the second quarter 2005 primarily due to
lower Research and Development (R&D) expenses resulting from the completion
of certain projects and subsequent product launches and lower bonus
expenses. Foreign currency favorably impacted Bioproducts operating profit
margin by 0.6 percentage points in the second quarter 2006. Second quarter
2006 Bioproducts GAAP Operating Profit Margin was 19.9% versus 15.3% in the
second quarter 2005.
    Biopharma
    The Biopharma segment consists of the Company's contract
biopharmaceutical process development and manufacturing business. Biopharma
Sales in the second quarter 2006 decreased to $10.0 million from $11.7
million in the second quarter 2005 due to lower suite and material
reimbursement revenue partially offset by higher process development
revenues.
    Second quarter 2006 Biopharma Adjusted Gross Margin decreased to -18.8%
from -3.8% in the second quarter 2005 due to lower sales volume and mix.
Second quarter 2006 Biopharma GAAP Gross Margin was -16.3% versus -5.2% in
the second quarter 2005.
    The second quarter 2006 Biopharma Adjusted Operating Loss was $4.2
million versus $3.1 million in the second quarter 2005 primarily due to
lower gross profit. Second quarter 2006 Biopharma GAAP Operating Loss was
$3.9 million versus $3.3 million in the second quarter 2005. Foreign
currency did not impact the Biopharma segment financial results in the
quarter.
    Human Health
    The Human Health segment consists of small molecule active
pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), advanced intermediates and other
products derived from organic chemistry. Human Health Sales in the second
quarter 2006 increased 9.0% to $72.5 million from $66.5 million in the
second quarter 2005. Higher net sales volumes were partially offset by
lower pricing. Foreign currency impact to Human Health Sales revenue was
negligible in the quarter. Higher sales resulted from strong demand for a
recently approved API used to treat Parkinson's disease, an intermediate
for a central nervous system (CNS) API, and certain cardiovascular APIs,
partially offset by lower demand for a CNS and gastrointestinal API,
nicotine polacrilex and a new cardiovascular API for which the client is
awaiting regulatory approval.
    Second quarter 2006 Human Health Adjusted Gross Margin decreased to
31.7% from 32.5% in the second quarter 2005 primarily due to an unfavorable
impact of foreign currency of 1.4 percentage points and lower pricing.
Second quarter 2006 Human Health GAAP Gross Margin was 31.9% versus 32.4%
in the second quarter 2005.
    Second quarter 2006 Human Health Adjusted Operating Profit Margin
increased to 17.7% from 16.3% in the second quarter 2005 primarily due to
lower sales and marketing expenses partially offset by lower gross margins
and an unfavorable impact of foreign currency of 1.4 percentage points.
Second quarter 2006 Human Health GAAP Operating Profit Margin was 18.0%
versus 16.1% in the second quarter 2005.
    Second Quarter 2006 Adjusted Consolidated Operating, Interest and Tax
Expenses
    Second quarter 2006 Adjusted Operating Expenses increased $0.9 million
to $32.5 million, or 26.3% of sales, from $31.6 million, or 27.2% of sales,
in the second quarter 2005 primarily due to higher legal fees and bonus
expense partially offset by lower sales and marketing and R&D expense.
Second quarter 2006 GAAP Operating Expenses were $34.6 million, or 28.0% of
sales, versus $31.2 million, or 26.9% of sales, in the second quarter 2005.
    Sales and Marketing Expense in the second quarter 2006 decreased to
$8.0 million, or 6.5% of sales, from $8.8 million, or 7.5% of sales in the
second quarter 2005, primarily due to lower spending in Human Health
resulting from a one-time charge recorded in 2005 related to a U.S. sales
office and lower bonus and commission expenses in Bioproducts.
    Research and Development Expense for the second quarter 2006 decreased
to $5.5 million, or 4.5% of sales compared to $5.9 million, or 5.1% of
sales, in the second quarter 2005 due to the completion of certain R&D
projects for products that have been launched at the end of 2005 and in
2006 in the Bioproducts segment.
    Adjusted Administrative Expense in the second quarter 2006 increased to
$18.6 million, or 15.0% of sales, from $16.3 million, or 14.1% of sales, in
the second quarter 2005 due to higher legal fees and bonus expense. Second
quarter 2006 GAAP Administrative Expense was $20.6 million, or 16.6% of
sales, versus $15.9 million, or 13.7% of sales, in the second quarter 2005.
    Net Interest Expense in the second quarter 2006 decreased to $2.3
million from $2.8 million in the second quarter 2005 due to lower
borrowings partially offset with higher interest rates. The average
interest rate in the second quarter 2006 was 5.8% versus 5.4% in the same
period last year.
    The Adjusted effective tax rate in the second quarter 2006 increased to
66.6% of pre-tax income versus 41.5% in the second quarter 2005 due to the
geographic mix of income and losses in the quarter. The GAAP effective tax
rate in the second quarter 2006 is 83.1% of pre-tax income versus -10.4% in
the second quarter 2005.
    Capital expenditures and depreciation for the second quarter 2006 were
$9.1 million and $8.3 million, respectively, compared to $9.0 million and
$9.3 million in the second quarter 2005, respectively.
    Guidance
    The Company is providing full year 2006 guidance for sales growth to be
within the range of 4% to 8% and Adjusted (non-GAAP) Net Earnings to be in
the range of $0.75 to $0.95 per Fully Diluted Shares. The full year 2006
earnings guidance excludes the costs associated with the previously
announced pre- payment of a portion of the Company's long-term debt ($0.20
per diluted share), costs related to the recent acquisition of Cutanogen
($0.15 per diluted share) and costs related to the evaluation of strategic
alternatives to enhance shareholder value.
    For the year 2006, guidance for capital expenditures, depreciation and
amortization for continuing operations is currently expected to be
approximately $45 million, $36 million, and $2.0 million, respectively. The
Company expects the full year 2006 effective tax rate, consistent with the
earnings guidance above, to be approximately 40 - 45%. The full year and
quarterly effective tax rates will continue to be highly sensitive to the
geographic mix of income or losses.

quarter 2006 Form 10-Q is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
