Barr Reports Second Quarter 2007 GAAP Earnings of $0.41 Per Share; Adjusted Earnings of $0.84 Per Share

                 - Strong Generic Oral Contraceptive Sales
                 - Strong Alliance and Development Revenue
                    - PLIVA Integration Remains on Track
 - Company Reiterates Calendar 2007 Adjusted EPS Guidance of $3.00 - $3.30

    WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Aug. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Barr
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: BRL) today reported net earnings of $45.3
million, or $0.41 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared
to net earnings of $82.3 million, or $0.76 per share, for the same period
last year. Revenues for the current quarter totaled $637 million, compared
to $352 million for the same period last year. Adjusted earnings per share
were $0.84 for the second quarter of 2007, compared to adjusted earnings
per share of $0.93 in the prior year period. A reconciliation of GAAP-based
earnings per share to adjusted earnings per share is presented in the table
at the end of this press release.
    For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net earnings were $56.9
million, or $0.52 per share, compared to $158.4 million, or $1.46 per
share, in the prior year period. Revenues for the first six months of 2007
totaled $1.2 billion, compared to $679 million for the same period last
year. Adjusted earnings per share were $1.62 for the six months ended June
30, 2007, compared to adjusted earnings per share of $1.77 in the prior
year period.
    "Our strong results for the quarter reflect sound contributions from
both our generic and brand segments," said Bruce L. Downey, Barr's Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition to strong generic oral
contraceptive sales, we also experienced strong performance in the U.S.
proprietary business from our Plan B(R) emergency contraceptive and
ParaGard(R) IUD product. Royalties related to our Allegra(R) agreement with
Teva boosted alliance and development revenue for the quarter as well. When
we look across the global business, the integration of PLIVA continues to
progress well, we continued to invest in our future through $65 million in
product development expenditures during the second quarter, and we
initiated our direct-to-consumer marketing campaign for the SEASONIQUE(R)
extended-cycle oral contraceptive at the beginning of the third quarter.
Overall, we are very pleased with the performance of the business during
the first half of 2007."
    Revenues
    Generic Product Sales
    Sales of the Company's generic products increased to $487 million for
the second quarter of 2007, compared to $222 million in the prior year
period. For the first six months of 2007, generic product sales increased
to $961 million, compared to $423 million for the prior year period. A
discussion of the Company's generic product sales for the second quarter of
2007 compared to the prior year period is presented below.
    U.S. Generic Sales
    Sales of U.S. generic products totaled $296 million for the second quarter
    of 2007, compared to $222 million in the prior year period. The increase
    in sales is primarily related to the inclusion of sales from PLIVA's U.S.
    product line. These products are now being sold under the Barr label. The
    increase also reflects strong sales of Fentanyl Citrate, a generic version
    of ACTIQ(R) that we launched in late September 2006, and higher generic
    oral contraceptive sales.

    Sales of generic oral contraceptives, the Company's largest single
    category of generic products, were $116 million for the second quarter of
    2007, compared to $107 million in the prior year period. This growth is
    primarily related to sales of Balziva(TM) and Jolessa(TM), which the
    Company launched in October 2006 and September 2006, respectively, as well
    as to increased sales of Kariva(R).

    Europe and Rest of the World ("ROW") Generic Sales
    Sales of generic products in Europe and the ROW through our PLIVA
    subsidiary were $191 million in the second quarter of 2007. Revenues were
    primarily driven by sales of PLIVA products in the key markets of Germany,
    Croatia, Poland and Russia. Prior to the Company's acquisition of PLIVA in
    October 2006, Barr did not have any product sales in Europe or the ROW.
    Proprietary Product Sales
    The Company's proprietary product sales were $102 million for the
second quarter of 2007, compared to $97 million in the prior year period.
For the first six months of 2007, proprietary product sales were $191
million, the same as in the prior year period. For the second quarter, the
$5 million increase in proprietary sales was primarily attributable to
higher sales of Plan B(R) Over-the-Counter/Rx and Adderall(R) IR, both of
which were launched in the quarter ended December 31, 2006, and sales of
SEASONIQUE(R) which was launched in August 2006. These increases more than
offset lower sales of our SEASONALE(R) extended-cycle oral contraceptive,
which faced generic competition in September 2006 following the expiration
of three years of market exclusivity.
    Alliance and Development Revenue
    During the second quarter of 2007, the Company reported alliance and
development revenue of $36 million, compared to $32 million in the prior
year period. For the first six months of 2007, alliance and development
revenue was $62 million, down from $65 million in the prior year period.
The increase for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 reflects reimbursement
under the Shire agreement that was entered into in August 2006 and higher
reimbursement from the Adenovirus agreement with the U.S. Department of
Defense.
    Other Revenue
    Other revenue primarily includes revenue from non-core operations
acquired in connection with the PLIVA acquisition, including the
diagnostic, disinfectants, dialysis and infusions business. Other revenue
totaled $12 million for the second quarter of 2007 and $22 million for the
first six months of 2007.
    Margins
    Generic: Margins in the generic segment for the second quarter of 2007
and the first six months of 2007 were 48% and 46%, respectively, down from
65% and 65%, respectively, in the prior year periods. Generic margins for
the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were negatively impacted by amortization
costs arising from the PLIVA acquisition.
    Proprietary: Margins in the proprietary segment for the second quarter
of 2007 and the first six months of 2007 were 79% and 73%, respectively, up
from 69% and 70%, respectively, in the prior year periods. Proprietary
margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 increased primarily due to the
launch of SEASONIQUE and a stronger mix of higher margin product sales.
    Update on R&D Activities
    Research and development investment totaled $65 million for the second
quarter of 2007, compared to $36 million in the prior year period. R&D for
the first six months of 2007 totaled $127 million, compared to $74 million
for the prior year period. The significant increases reflect greater
investment in generic and bio-generic development activities, both in the
U.S. and Europe, as well as in proprietary development activities in the
United States.
    Generic Products
    At June 30, 2007, the Company had approximately 60 Abbreviated New Drug
Applications, including tentatively approved applications, pending at the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) targeting branded pharmaceutical
products with an estimated $30 billion in sales. The Company also had
approximately 230 product registrations, representing 78 molecules, pending
with regulatory bodies in Europe and in the ROW.
    During the second quarter of 2007, the Company received seven generic
product approvals in the U.S. from the FDA, including tentative approvals,
and 25 approvals, representing 23 molecules, from regulatory bodies in
Europe and in the ROW.
    Proprietary Products
    The Company currently has an extensive proprietary clinical development
program that includes six products in Phase III studies and several New
Drug Applications pending at the FDA. During the quarter, the Company
received two FDA approvals related to its ENJUVIA(TM) (synthetic conjugated
estrogens, B) product.
    Selling, General and Administrative
    The Company's SG&A expenses totaled $189 million during the second
quarter of 2007, compared to $104 million in the prior year period. SG&A
for the first six months of 2007 totaled $370 million, compared to $182
million for the prior year period. The substantial increase in SG&A for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 is primarily attributable to the
addition of PLIVA's sales and marketing activities, including, but not
limited to, the costs associated with approximately 1,400 sales
representatives that PLIVA utilizes to promote branded generic products to
physicians and pharmacists in many countries, and other general and
administrative expenses associated with our worldwide operations.
    Interest Expense/Income and Other Income
    During the second quarter of 2007, the Company recorded $42 million of
interest expense, almost all of which is related to interest on the $2.6
billion of debt incurred in connection with the PLIVA acquisition and a
one- time bank fee associated with a bridge loan related to the
acquisition. The Company recorded $0.3 million of interest expense in the
prior year period.
    During the second quarter of 2007, interest income increased by $2
million over the prior year period. This increase was primarily related to
higher available balances invested during the second quarter of 2007 as
compared to the prior year period, in addition to rising interest rates.
    Other income in the second quarter of 2007 totaled $3.7 million and
included a gain of $3.5 million relating to the unwinding of a treasury
lock on a ten-year U.S. Treasury security that was used to hedge forecast
interest payments.
    Stock-Based Compensation
    During the second quarter of 2007, the Company recorded stock-based
compensation expenses of $8.1 million, or $0.05 per share. For the first
six months of 2007, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expenses
of $15.4 million, or $0.10 per share. The impact for the quarter and the
six months ended June 30, 2007 is allocated to cost of sales, SG&A and R&D,
and is reflected in the accompanying selected adjusted financial data
chart.
    Tax Rate
    The Company's tax rate for second quarter of 2007 was 35.5%, compared
to 34.6% for the prior year period. For the first six months of 2007, the
tax rate was 37.1%, compared to 34.9% for the prior year period. The
increase in the reported effective tax rate is primarily due to the impact
of purchase accounting adjustments related to the PLIVA acquisition, losses
incurred in certain legal entities without a tax benefit and additional
U.S. taxes related to the PLIVA acquisition. The increase was somewhat
offset by benefits realized related to the enactment of the research and
development incentive in Croatia, retroactive to the beginning of the tax
year, as well as the release of certain FIN 48 tax liabilities related to
audit settlements in various tax jurisdictions.
    Balance Sheet
    The Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled
approximately $767.5 million and its debt totaled $2.5 billion at June 30,
2007.
    EBITDA
    Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
including amortization of inventory step-up charges (EBITDA), for the
second quarter of 2007 totaled $175 million, compared to $130 million in
the prior year period. For the first six months of 2007, EBITDA totaled
$331 million, compared to $269 million for the prior year period. Please
see the reconciliation table at the end of this press release for the
calculation of EBITDA.
    2007 Financial Outlook
    The Company is reiterating that it expects adjusted earnings per fully
diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2007 to be in the range of
approximately $3.00 - $3.30. The adjustments are discussed in the paragraph
immediately below. The Company expects total revenues for 2007 to be in the
range of $2.4 - $2.5 billion, including total product sales in the range of
$2.3 - $2.4 billion. On the expense side, the Company now expects slightly
higher R&D investment of approximately $250 - $255 million, and continues
to expect SG&A expenses to be approximately $740 - $760 million.
    The Company's adjusted guidance for 2007 excludes amortization costs
associated with acquired products, charges related to the step-up of
inventory acquired from PLIVA, contributions from operations that the
Company anticipates divesting during 2007, incremental depreciation related
to the step-up of PLIVA's assets, the tax impact related to PLIVA's U.S.
net operating losses and stock-based compensation costs. The Company's
adjusted guidance for 2007 also excludes the impact of potential patent
challenge outcomes, other business development activities, and potential
refinancing activities that may be completed by December 31, 2007.

    Reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings to GAAP Earnings; EBITDA
    To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America ("GAAP"), the Company is providing the supplemental
financial information contained below to reflect (1) the adjusted earnings
per share effect of certain unusual or infrequent charges or benefits that
were taken or received in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, and
(2) the calculation of EBITDA for each period presented.
    Adjusted earnings per share and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures.
The Company is providing this information, however, because it believes
that such information is useful to both management and investors in that it
facilitates analysis by both management and investors in evaluating the
Company's performance and trends. The presentation of this additional
information is not meant to be considered in isolation of, or as a
substitute for, results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
