Barr Reports Third Quarter 2007 GAAP Earnings of $0.36 Per Share; Adjusted Earnings of $0.75 Per Share

              - Strong Generic and Proprietary Revenue Growth
                 - Stable Alliance and Development Revenue
                  - $20 Million Increase in R&D Investment

    WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Barr
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: BRL) today reported net earnings of $38.9
million, or $0.36 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2007,
compared to net earnings of $52.8 million, or $0.49 per share, for the same
period last year. Revenues for the current quarter totaled $601 million,
compared to $332 million for the same period last year. Adjusted earnings
per share were $0.75 for the third quarter of 2007, compared to adjusted
earnings per share of $0.87 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007, net earnings were $95.8
million, or $0.88 per share, compared to $211.1 million, or $1.95 per
share, in the prior year period. Revenues for the first nine months of 2007
totaled $1.8 billion, compared to $1.0 billion for the same period last
year. Adjusted earnings per share were $2.37 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, compared to adjusted earnings per share of $2.64 in the
prior year period.
    "Strong performances by our U.S. generic and proprietary businesses
drove a sound third quarter," said Bruce L. Downey, Barr's Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. "We delivered $77 million in revenue growth in
U.S. generic sales, fueled by the inclusion of PLIVA's product line and
sales of Fentanyl Citrate, and $21 million in proprietary revenue growth
primarily from sales of our Plan B(R) emergency contraceptive and
Adderall(R) IR product. Outside of the U.S., our European and rest of
world, or "ROW" markets, contributed $158 million in sales in the third
quarter. Another highlight of the quarter was a $20 million increase in our
investment in new product development for both U.S. and European markets."
    Revenues
    Generic Product Sales
    Sales of the Company's generic products were $434 million for the third
quarter of 2007, compared to $198 million in the prior year period. For the
first nine months of 2007, generic product sales increased to $1.4 billion,
compared to $620 million for the prior year period. A discussion of the
Company's generic product sales for the third quarter of 2007 compared to
the prior year period is presented below.
    U.S. Generic Sales
    Sales of U.S. generic products totaled $275 million for the third
quarter of 2007, compared to $198 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, including Azithromycin. 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.
    Sales of generic oral contraceptives, the Company's largest single
category of generic products, were $112 million for the third quarter of
2007, compared to $121 million in the prior year period. The $9 million
decline is primarily related to decreased sales of Jolessa(TM), which the
Company launched in September 2006.
    Europe and Rest of the World ("ROW") Generic Sales
    Sales of generic products in Europe and the ROW through our PLIVA
subsidiary were $158 million in the third 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 $125 million for the third
quarter of 2007, compared to $103 million in the prior year period. For the
first nine months of 2007, proprietary product sales were $316 million,
compared to $294 million in the prior year period. For the third quarter
and the nine months, the 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company's
SEASONIQUE product, which is promoted by its Women's Healthcare Sales
Force, also grew significantly. 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 third quarter of 2007, the Company reported alliance and
development revenue of $32 million, compared to $31 million in the prior
year period. The slight increase for the quarter ended September 30, 2007
reflects an increase in 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, which offset a decrease in
income derived from the Company's share of the profits from sales of
fexofenadine hydrochloride tablets from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
    For the first nine months of 2007, alliance and development revenue was
$94 million, down from $97 million in the prior year period. The decrease
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 primarily reflects a decline
in income derived from the Company's share of the profits from sales of
fexofenadine hydrochloride tablets.
    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 $11 million for the third quarter of 2007 and $33 million for the
first nine months of 2007.
    Margins
    Generic: Margins in the generic segment for the third quarter of 2007
and the first nine months of 2007 were 47% and 47%, respectively, compared
to 67% and 66%, respectively, in the prior year periods. Generic margins
for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were negatively impacted by
amortization costs arising from the PLIVA acquisition, as well as a higher
proportion of sales of non-oral contraceptive generic products.
    Proprietary: Margins in the proprietary segment for the third quarter
of 2007 and the first nine months of 2007 were 76% and 73%, respectively,
compared to 77% and 72%, respectively, in the prior year periods.
Proprietary margins for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 decreased
primarily due to change in product sales mix as compared to the prior year
period.
    Update on R&D Activities
    Research and development investment totaled $60 million for the third
quarter of 2007, compared to $40 million in the prior year period. R&D for
the first nine months of 2007 totaled $187 million, compared to $114
million for the prior year period. The significant increases reflect
greater investment in product development activities across the Company.
    Generic Products
    At September 30, 2007, the Company had approximately 70 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 275 product registrations, representing 85
molecules, pending with regulatory bodies in Europe and in the ROW.
    During the third quarter of 2007, the Company received three generic
product approvals in the U.S. from the FDA, including tentative approvals,
and 20 approvals, representing 13 molecules, from regulatory bodies in
Europe and in the ROW.
    Proprietary Products
    The Company currently has an extensive proprietary clinical development
program that includes four products in Phase III studies and two New Drug
Applications pending at the FDA.
    Selling, General and Administrative
    The Company's SG&A expenses totaled $190 million during the third
quarter of 2007, compared to $89 million in the prior year period. SG&A for
the first nine months of 2007 totaled $557 million, compared to $271
million for the prior year period. SG&A for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007 included charges of $7.3 million and $15.3 million,
respectively, for litigation related to the Ovcon(R) oral contraceptive
product.
    The substantial increase in SG&A for the quarter and nine months ended
September 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 the Company's worldwide operations.
    Interest Expense/Income and Other Income
    During the third quarter of 2007, the Company recorded $39 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. The
Company recorded $1 million of interest expense in the prior year period.
    During the third quarter of 2007, interest income was $8 million,
compared to $7 million in the prior year period. This increase was
primarily related to higher interest rates and cash and marketable
securities balances.
    Other income in the third quarter of 2007 totaled $6 million, compared
to a pre-tax charge of $43 million in the prior year period that was
related to the decline in the fair value of the Company's foreign currency
option acquired in connection with its acquisition of PLIVA d.d.
    Stock-Based Compensation
    During the third quarter of 2007, the Company recorded stock-based
compensation expenses of $7.9 million, or $0.05 per share. For the first
nine months of 2007, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expenses
of $23.4 million, or $0.14 per share. The impact for the quarter and the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 is allocated among 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 third quarter of 2007 was 24.4%, compared to
31.4% for the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2007, the tax
rate was 32.1%, compared to 34.1% for the prior year period.
    The tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007
include a one-time $9.6 million benefit from a reduction in deferred income
taxes as a result of Germany's enactment of a lower corporate income tax
rate.
    Balance Sheet
    The Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled
approximately $503 million and its debt totaled $2.15 billion at September
30, 2007. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007 the Company repaid
the remaining $316 million of its $417 million 364-day term facility that
was due to mature in October 2007, using cash on hand.
    EBITDA
    Earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, including amortization of inventory step-up
charges (EBITDA), for the third quarter of 2007 totaled $156 million,
compared to $132 million in the prior year period. For the first nine
months of 2007, EBITDA totaled $487 million, compared to $400 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 expects adjusted earnings per fully diluted share for the
fourth quarter ending December 31, 2007 to be in the range of approximately
$0.73 - $0.83, bringing its full year adjusted earnings per fully diluted
share to be in the range of approximately $3.10 - $3.20. 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 expects R&D investment of approximately $250 - $255
million, and SG&A expenses to be approximately $740 - $760 million.
    The Company's adjusted guidance for the fourth quarter and full year
ending December 31, 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 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 nine months ended September 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.
