"We made important progress across the company this quarter, highlighted by continued strong top-line growth and advancement of our exciting late-stage pipeline," said Michael Bonney, CEO of Cubist. "We are pleased to have now secured Fast-Track status from the FDA for ceftolozane/tazobactam in all three of its potential indications, and we look forward to reporting top-line Phase 3 data from the cUTI and cIAI trials later this year. We are making progress against our Building Blocks of Growth goalsand continue to enhance our leadership in the acute care environment."

Second quarter ENTEREG® (alvimopan) net product revenues were $12.4 million, up 27.6% compared to $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2012. Service revenues for the Company's co-promote of DIFICID® (fidaxomicin) for the second quarter were $3.7 million. This will be the final quarter reflecting the full service fee from Cubist's agreement with Optimer, which concludes in July.

As of June 30, 2013, Cubist had $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents and investments. The total number of Cubist's common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2013, was 66,013,909.

Pipeline Update

Cubist also announced the initiation of a randomized, open-label study evaluating the efficacy and safety of ceftolozane/tazobactam (formerly CXA-201) in patients with ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP). Ceftolozane/tazobactam is an antibacterial consisting of a novel anti-pseudomonal cephalosporin, with tazobactam, a well-established β-lactamase inhibitor. The primary endpoint of this study is to compare the clinical cure rates of ceftolozane/tazobactam to piperacillin/tazobactam.

The Company will provide an update on all of its pipeline activity, including its Phase 3 program for ceftolozane/tazobactam, on today's second quarter earnings call.

Recent Company Highlights

  • In May, the FDA granted the Company's late-stage antibiotic candidate, ceftolozane/tazobactam, Fast Track status in the previously granted Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) indications, hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP)/VABP and complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI). The FDA previously granted Fast Track status for ceftolozane/tazobactam in complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) in February 2013.

  • Dr. Lorianne Masuoka joined Cubist as Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President, Clinical Development and Medical Affairs. She was previously Senior Vice President/Chief Medical Officer at Nektar Therapeutics.

  • For the fifth consecutive year, Cubist was named to the Globe 100, the Boston Globe's annual ranking of the 100 top-performing public companies headquartered in Massachusetts. Cubist was ranked number six overall and was named the top performing biotech company.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Cubist uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP adjusted operating income and non-GAAP diluted EPS, to assess and analyze its operational results and trends and to make financial and operational decisions. Cubist believes these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors because they provide greater transparency regarding Cubist's operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to measurements required by GAAP, such as net income, operating income and earnings per share, and should not be considered measures of Cubist's liquidity. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP information provided by other companies. Reconciliations between non-GAAP financial measures and GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this press release after the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
