EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ USA
    EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cambrex
Corporation (NYSE: CBM) reports third quarter 2006 results for the period
ended September 30, 2006.
    (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000613/CAMBREXLOGO )
    Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share were $0.06 in the third quarter
2006 compared to $0.05 Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share reported in the
third quarter 2005. Third quarter 2006 GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share were
($0.15) compared to break-even in the third quarter 2005.
    Consistent with our 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. Third quarter 2006 Adjusted financial results exclude costs
related to a Goodwill Impairment charge ($0.08 Diluted Earnings per Share),
the evaluation of strategic alternatives ($0.06 Diluted Earnings per
Share), a small amount of cost related to the Cutanogen acquisition, and
increases in tax reserves related to prior years returns recently prepared
or under audit ($0.06 Diluted Earnings per Share). The third quarter 2005
financial results exclude an increase in an environmental reserve for an
idle property ($0.05 Diluted Earnings per Share). In addition to the
aforementioned items, certain employee medical benefit expenses in the 2005
Non-GAAP results were reclassified from segment Cost of Sales and Operating
Expenses 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.
    Third quarter 2006 sales revenue increased 8.3% to $113.2 million from
$104.5 million in the third quarter 2005 due to increases in all three
segments (Bioproducts, Biopharma and Human Health). Foreign currency
effects accounted for 2.2% of this increase.
    Third quarter 2006 Adjusted Gross Profit increased 5.2% to $39.2
million from $37.3 million during the third quarter 2005, reflecting the
increase in sales partially offset by a decline in Adjusted Gross Margin to
34.6% versus 35.6% last year. Foreign currency favorably impacted Gross
Margin by 0.8 percentage point versus last year. Third quarter 2006 GAAP
Gross Profit was $39.2 million, or 34.6% of sales, compared to $36.8
million, or 35.2% of sales, in the third quarter 2005.
    Third quarter 2006 Adjusted Operating Profit decreased 5.6% to $7.0
million, or 6.2% of sales in the third quarter 2006, from $7.4 million, or
7.1% of sales in the third quarter 2005, due to increased Administrative
Expenses partially offset by higher Gross Profit and lower Sales and
Marketing Expense. Third quarter 2006 GAAP Operating Profit was $3.1
million, or 2.7% of sales in the third quarter 2006, compared to $6.1
million, or 5.9% of sales, in the third quarter 2005.
    Third quarter 2006 Adjusted Income before Taxes decreased 3.7% to $4.5
million from $4.7 million in the third quarter 2005 due to lower Operating
Profit partially offset by lower Interest Expense. Third quarter 2006 GAAP
Income before Taxes was $0.5 million compared to $3.4 million in the third
quarter 2005.
    Strategic Alternatives
    As part of its evaluation of strategic alternatives, Cambrex announced
on October 24th that it had entered into a definitive stock purchase
agreement to sell its Bioproducts and Biopharma businesses to Lonza Group
AG for total cash consideration of $460 million. The Company expects to
realize net proceeds, after paying taxes and transaction-related advisor
fees, of approximately $450 million. Following the repayment of outstanding
debt and assuming the arrangement of new lines of credit of $125 to $150
million on favorable terms, Cambrex plans to pay stockholders a special
dividend of $13.50 to $14.50 per share. Additionally, Cambrex announced on
October 20th that it had entered into an agreement to sell its subsidiaries
based in Cork, Ireland and Landen, Belgium to International Chemical
Investors II S.A. (ICIG), for nominal consideration.
    James A. Mack, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Cambrex Corporation, said, "We are pleased to announce the successful
completion of this important phase of our strategic review. After a
thorough and deliberate process, our Board of Directors determined that the
sale of Bioproducts and Biopharma to Lonza and the sale of Cork and Landen
to ICIG represent the most compelling means for realizing value for Cambrex
stockholders. In addition to receiving a substantial cash dividend,
stockholders can look forward to additional benefits from their continuing
investment in a streamlined Cambrex focused on pharmaceutical services.
Consistent with our fiduciary duties, we will also continue to evaluate
strategic opportunities for the Human Health business as they arise."
    Business Segment Results
    Bioproducts
    The Bioproducts segment includes products and services for research and
therapeutic applications. Bioproducts Sales in the third quarter 2006
increased 10.1% to $39.3 million from $35.7 million in the third quarter
2005 primarily due to higher sales in rapid microbial detection products
and cell therapy services. Foreign currency effects accounted for 1.9% of
the increase in Bioproducts sales.
    Third quarter 2006 Bioproducts Adjusted Gross Margin was 49.2%, down
from Adjusted Gross Margin of 52.2% in the third quarter 2005. The GAAP
Gross Margin was 49.2% in the third quarter 2006 versus 51.7% during the
previous year. The decline in Gross Margin was due to changes in product
mix and increased production costs partially offset by the positive effect
of foreign currency translation of 1.2%.
    Third quarter 2006 Bioproducts Adjusted Operating Profit increased
23.1% to $6.5 million in the third quarter 2006 versus $5.3 million in the
third quarter 2005 due to higher Gross Profit and lower Operating Expenses.
Adjusted Operating Profit Margins increased to 16.6% of sales in the third
quarter 2006 from 14.9% in the third quarter 2005. Foreign currency
increased Adjusted Operating Profit Margins by 2.4% of Sales. Third quarter
2006 Bioproducts GAAP Operating Profit Margin was 16.3% versus 14.1% in the
third quarter 2005.
    Biopharma
    The Biopharma segment consists of the Company's contract
biopharmaceutical process development and manufacturing business. Biopharma
Sales in the third quarter 2006 increased 38.5% to $11.6 million from $8.4
million in the third quarter 2005, reflecting an increase in both suite
fees and process development work.
    Third quarter 2006 Biopharma Adjusted Gross Margin improved to -1.4%
from -23.6% in the third quarter 2005 due to increased suite fees and
process development work. Third quarter 2006 Biopharma GAAP Gross Margin
was -1.4% versus -25.5% in the third quarter 2005.
    Third quarter 2006 Biopharma Adjusted Operating Loss narrowed to $2.4
million from $4.2 million in the third quarter 2005 primarily due to
improved Gross Profit. On a GAAP basis, the Biopharma Operating Loss was
$2.4 million compared with $4.4 million reported for the third quarter of
the previous year. Foreign currency did not impact the Biopharma segment
financial results.
    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 third
quarter 2006 increased 3.1% to $62.3 million from $60.4 million in the
third quarter 2005. This sales growth resulted from increased generic API
volumes and a 2.7% positive impact of foreign currency partially offset by
decreased demand for certain proprietary products, advanced intermediates
and feed additives.
    Third quarter 2006 Human Health Adjusted Gross Margin decreased to
32.1% from 34.1% in the third quarter 2005, principally due to shifts in
product mix. Third quarter 2006 Human Health GAAP Gross Margin was 32.1%
versus 33.9% in the third quarter 2005.
    Third quarter 2006 Human Health Adjusted Operating Profit decreased to
$9.9 million versus $11.5 million in the previous year due to lower Gross
Profit and higher R&D and Administrative Expenses. Foreign currency effects
increased Adjusted Operating Profit Margins by 0.6%. Third quarter 2006
Human Health GAAP Operating Profit was $7.8 million versus $11.3 million in
the third quarter of 2005.
    Third Quarter 2006 Adjusted and GAAP Consolidated Operating, Interest
and Tax Expenses
    Third quarter 2006 Adjusted Operating Expenses increased $2.4 million
to $32.2 million, or 28.4% of sales, from $29.8 million, or 28.5% of sales,
in the third quarter 2005 primarily due to higher Administrative Expenses
partially offset by lower Sales and Marketing Expense. Third quarter 2006
GAAP Operating Expenses were $36.1 million, or 31.9% of sales, versus $30.7
million, or 29.3% of sales, in the third quarter 2005. Foreign currency had
a nominal effect on Operating Expenses during the quarter.
    Adjusted and GAAP Sales and Marketing Expense in the third quarter 2006
decreased to $7.7 million, or 6.8% of sales, from $8.5 million, or 8.1% of
sales in the third quarter 2005, primarily due to lower spending in
Bioproducts and Human Health.
    Adjusted Research and Development Expense for the third quarter 2006
increased to $5.0 million, or 4.4% of sales compared to $4.8 million, or
4.6% of sales, in the third quarter 2005 due to increased spending in Human
Health. On a GAAP basis, Research and Development Expense during the third
quarter 2006 increased to $5.1 million from $4.9 million during the same
period in the previous year.
    Adjusted Administrative Expense in the third quarter 2006 increased to
$19.0 million, or 16.8% of sales, from $16.0 million, or 15.3% of sales, in
the third quarter 2005 principally due to higher legal and audit fees.
Third quarter 2006 GAAP Administrative Expense was $20.8 million, or 18.4%
of sales, versus $16.8 million, or 16.0% of sales, in the third quarter
2005.
    During the third quarter 2006, a $2.1 million goodwill impairment
charge ($0.08 Diluted Earnings per Share) was recorded within the Human
Health segment related to its Landen, Belgium site, which, as discussed in
the Strategic Alternatives section above, was sold during October 2006.
    Adjusted and GAAP Net Interest Expense in the third quarter 2006
decreased to $2.5 million from $2.8 million in the third quarter 2005 due
to lower borrowings partially offset by higher interest rates. The average
interest rate in the third quarter 2006 was 6.1% versus 5.8% in the same
period last year.
    The Adjusted effective tax rate in the third quarter 2006 decreased to
66.2% of pre-tax income versus 73.1% in the third quarter 2005 due to the
geographic mix of income in the quarter.
    Capital Expenditures and Depreciation for the third quarter 2006 were
$8.8 million and $8.4 million, respectively, compared to $9.9 million and
$8.9 million in the third quarter 2005, respectively.
    Guidance

discontinued guidance on Consolidated Cambrex, and is providing guidance on
its Human Health segment excluding the Cork and Landen facilities that were
recently sold. The Company is providing full year 2006 guidance for Human
Health excluding Cork and Landen of Sales of $235 - 240 million, Operating
