King Pharmaceuticals Reports Third-Quarter 2003 Financial Results

    BRISTOL, Tenn., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- King Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. (NYSE: KG) announced today that total revenues increased 34% to
$424.2 million during the third quarter ending September 30, 2003, compared to
$315.7 million during the third quarter of 2002.  Net earnings during the
third quarter ending September 30, 2003, including special items, totaled
$106.1 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, each increasing 26% in comparison
to net earnings of $84.2 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.35 in
the same period of the prior year.  Excluding special items, net earnings
increased 17% to $99.1 million and diluted earnings per share grew 17% to
$0.41 during the third quarter ending September 30, 2003, from net earnings of
$84.7 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.35 during the third quarter
of 2002.
    For the nine months ending September 30, 2003, total revenues increased
33% to $1,138.8 million compared to $856.3 million during the first nine
months of 2002.  During the nine months ending September 30, 2003, including
special items, net earnings equaled $63.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted share,
each decreasing 70% in comparison to net earnings of $214.0 million and
diluted earnings per share of $0.87 in the same period of the prior year.
Excluding special items, net earnings increased 13% to $262.6 million and
diluted earnings per share increased 16% to $1.09 during the nine months
ending September 30, 2003, from net earnings of $233.1 million and diluted
earnings per share of $0.94 during the first nine months of 2002.
    King recorded special items during the third quarter ending September 30,
2003, the net of which resulted in income totaling $11.1 million, or
$7.0 million net of tax.  More specifically, special items during the third
quarter of 2003 include income in the amount of $10.3 million due to a gain on
the sale of the Company's animal health products; income in the amount of
$9.3 million due to a decrease in the valuation allowance for Novavax, Inc.
convertible notes held by the Company resulting from an increase in the share
price of Novavax common stock during the third quarter of 2003; and charges
totaling $8.6 million, primarily related to professional fees associated with
the ongoing Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") investigation of the
Company and the completed internal review conducted by the Audit Committee of
King's Board of Directors. King recorded special items totaling $0.7 million,
or $0.5 million net of tax, during the third quarter ending September 30,
2002, primarily due to a charge related to an increase in the reserve for
King's voluntary recall during 2001 of products manufactured for the Company
by a contract manufacturer, offset by income resulting from a decrease in the
valuation allowance for Novavax convertible notes held by the Company.  During
the first six months of 2003, King recorded special items totaling $308.4
million, or $205.7 million net of tax, primarily due to charges for acquired
in-process research and development, professional fees associated with the
previously mentioned SEC investigation and completed internal review, a
product recall, and a decrease in the valuation allowance for Novavax
convertible notes held by the Company; and an intangible asset impairment
charge. During the six month period ending June 30, 2002, King recorded
special charges totaling $29.8 million, or $18.7 million net of tax, that
primarily related to an increase in the valuation allowance for Novavax
convertible notes held by King and the Company's voluntary recall of two of
its smaller products.
    Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), "net earnings"
and "diluted earnings per share" include special items.  In addition to the
results determined in accordance with GAAP, King provides its net earnings and
diluted earnings per share results for the third quarter and nine months
ending September 30, 2003, excluding special items.  King also provides below
the Company's diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter and year
ending December 31, 2002, 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 an analysis of the Company's ongoing, underlying business and an
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 financial results determined
in accordance with GAAP is provided below.
    The 34% increase in King's revenues during the third-quarter ending
September 30, 2003 in comparison to the same period of the prior year is
attributable primarily to the acquisition of Sonata(R) and Skelaxin(R)
(metaxolone) from Elan Corporation, plc on June 12, 2003, the acquisition of
Meridian on January 8, 2003, and increased net sales of certain branded
pharmaceutical products, in particular Thrombin-JMI(R) (thrombin, topical,
bovine, USP).
    Net revenue from branded pharmaceuticals, including royalty income,
totaled $380.2 million for the third quarter of 2003, a 23% increase over the
third quarter of 2002.  Meridian, our wholly-owned subsidiary, contributed
$38.4 million of net revenue in the third quarter of 2003.  Net revenue from
contract manufacturing during the third quarter of 2003 equaled $5.7 million.
    Altace(R) (ramipril) net sales equaled $125.4 million in the third quarter
of 2003, a 4% decrease from $130.5 million during the third quarter of 2002.
Altace(R) new prescriptions totaled approximately 980,995 and total
prescriptions equaled approximately 3,200,986 during the third quarter of
2003, increases of 9% and 15%, respectively, over the same period of the prior
year, according to IMS America monthly prescription data. Moreover, Altace is
now positioned as the leader in total prescription market share among branded
ACE inhibitors according to IMS America weekly prescription data.
    Net sales of Skelaxin(R) totaled $87.9 million and Sonata(R) net sales
equaled $20.5 million during the third quarter ending September 30, 2003.
    Net sales of Thrombin-JMI(R) totaled $40.4 million during the third
quarter ending September 30, 2003, a 73% increase from $23.3 million during
the third quarter of the prior year.
    Levoxyl(R) net sales equaled $26.3 million in the third quarter of 2003,
down 45% from $47.8 million during the third quarter of 2002, while total
prescriptions for the product were down 2% during the third quarter ending
September 30, 2003, compared to the same period of the prior year according to
IMS America monthly prescription data.
    Royalty revenues from Adenoscan(R) (adenosine) and Adenocard(R)
(adenosine) totaled $16.3 million in the third quarter of 2003, a 9% increase
over $15.0 million during the same period of the prior year.
    Jefferson J. Gregory, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of King,
stated, "We are pleased to report King's positive financial results for the
third quarter ending September 30, 2003. Revenues, which exceed $1.1 billion
during the first nine months of this year, grew strongly during the third
quarter of 2003, increasing 34% in comparison to the same period of the prior
year. This strong growth is attributable to greater net sales produced by our
diversified portfolio of branded pharmaceutical products."
    Mr. Gregory added, "Net sales of Skelaxin(R) were impressive, benefiting
from continued prescription growth, the ongoing launch of the new 800mg dose
of Skelaxin(R), and the sustained, rapid shift from the long-established 400mg
dose to the recently introduced 800mg dose of Skelaxin(R). Total prescriptions
for Skelaxin(R) 800mg during the third quarter of 2003 increased 21% over the
second quarter ending June 30, 2003 and now account for approximately 46% of
all Skelaxin(R) prescriptions combined. Likewise, taking into account the
average number of tablets per prescription, our revenue and profitability
associated with each Skelaxin(R) 800 mg prescription is enhanced in comparison
to each 400mg prescription of the product."
    Mr. Gregory emphasized, "Our growing product pipeline continues to achieve
key milestones. Earlier this month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
('FDA') approved Estrasorb(TM) (estradiol topical emulsion), the first
prescription topical emulsion estrogen therapy. Through our co-marketing
arrangement with Novavax, we expect to launch Estrasorb(TM) in the United
States and Puerto Rico in early 2004 utilizing a combined sales force of King
and Novavax which together should consist of over 120 individuals.  Also,
before the end of this year, King anticipates the FDA may approve our
diazepam-filled auto-injector for the treatment of status epilepticus and
severe recurrent convulsive seizures associated with epilepsy."
    Mr. Gregory continued, "Another important recent achievement for research
and development at King includes yesterday's announcement that the Company's
Investigational New Drug ('IND') Application for T-62, an investigational drug
for the treatment of neuropathic pain, has been allowed by the FDA. Although
currently available treatments for neuropathic pain are of limited efficacy,
the neuropathic pain market exceeds $1.7 billion annually and is growing
according to a published report of Datamonitor. We believe that T-62 should
represent a significant advancement in the treatment of this debilitating
condition. A Phase I trial to determine the safety of T-62, a new chemical
entity, is now planned to begin during the fourth quarter of 2003."
    Mr. Gregory also noted, "We expect the first of two pivotal phase III
trials for another of our leading pipeline products, binodenoson, to begin
before the end of this year.  FDA approval of this A2A receptor agonist should
position the product as a second generation cardiac pharmacologic stress
imaging agent to the currently marketed product adenosine which was previously
developed by King."  Mr. Gregory further underscored, "King is focusing more
on the strategic acquisition and in-licensing of products in late-stage
development as we continue to enhance our product pipeline.  This should
leverage our experienced and expanding research and development and sales and
marketing capabilities."
    James R. Lattanzi, Chief Financial Officer of King, commented, "Our
earnings during the third quarter of 2003 produced cash flows from operations
totaling $159.0 million.  For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2003,
cash flows from operations equaled $365.1 million.  King's cash, cash
equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $166.6 million, as of September
30, 2003, which includes approximately $46.5 million of cash that was placed
in an interest-bearing escrow account last July for estimated underpayments to
Medicaid and other governmental pricing programs.  The Company repaid all
outstanding borrowings in the amount of $125 million under our senior secured
revolving credit facility during the third quarter of 2003."
    King is adjusting the Company's projected ranges for estimated total
revenue, Altace(R) net sales, and diluted earnings per share, excluding
special items, for the fourth quarter of 2003 based on a combination of
current net sales and prescription trends and is revising such projections for
the full year ending 2003 to reflect the Company's revised estimates for the
fourth quarter and actual results for the first nine months of 2003.  King's
actual total revenue, Altace(R) net sales, and diluted earnings per share,
excluding special items, for the fourth quarter of 2002, which are provided
for purposes of comparison, and projected ranges for estimated total revenue,
estimated net sales of Altace(R), and estimated diluted earnings per share,
excluding special items, for the fourth quarter of 2003 are as follows

    excluding special items             $1.23              $1.40 - 1.43


    King is also providing for the first time the Company's projected ranges
for estimated total net revenue, and diluted earnings per share, excluding
special items, for year-end 2004. King's projected ranges for estimated total
net revenue and estimated diluted earnings per share, excluding special items,
for year-end 2004 are as follows (dollars in millions, except EPS):


                                       Projected Ranges for Full Year

    Net Revenue                                 $1750 - 1850

    Diluted EPS,
    excluding special items                     $1.50 - 1.60


    Since King generally does not predict the future impact of special items,
King cannot reconcile the Company's fourth-quarter and year-end 2003 and year-
end 2004 earnings guidance, excluding special items, to GAAP. Also,
considering King's more diversified revenue base and the current relative
contribution of Altace(R), the Company does not plan to provide future net
sales guidance for Altace(R).

information technology system; dependence on our compliance with FDA and other

2003, which are on file with the SEC.  King does not undertake to publicly
update or revise any of its forward-looking statements even if experience or
future changes show that the indicated results or events will not be realized.
