Imprimis Pharmaceuticals Reports on Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results

and Provides Update on Business Developments

Patent-pending ophthalmic formulation revenues increased

over 190% compared to the second quarter 2014

Company will host conference call today at 4:30 p.m. EST (1:30 p.m. PST)

San Diego, CA — November 12, 2014 — Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMMY), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary sterile and topical compounded drug formulations, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014, and provided an update on recent business developments.

"We are pleased with the progress the company has made to date,” Mark L. Baum, Chief Executive Officer of Imprimis. “The growth of and market penetration by Dropless formulations remains strong and in line with our expectations. We believe prescriptions for our Dropless formulations are based on physicians recognizing the benefits to their patients and their staff, and they are paying for these medicines largely out of their pocket. This demonstrates that the growing number of Dropless physicians not only care about their patients, but that these physicians and their patients are choosing our Dropless therapy option over topical eye drops.”

“Beyond ophthalmology, our newly licensed urology compound, is a combination of alkalized lidocaine and heparin (lido-hep) that is delivered to the bladder for the treatment of interstitial cystitis, which is also known as painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS). This formulation will be the cornerstone of our new urology business unit and a point of focus during the upcoming months as we prepare for launch. We hope to replicate the success of our Go Dropless™ campaign, and plan to launch the Defeat IC™ patient and physician education campaign around IC/PBS and our lido-hep treatment option in the first quarter 2015.”

“As a result of the growing demand for our Dropless formulations and the planned launch of our Defeat IC and related lido-hep compound, we are actively pursuing opportunities to expand our prescription dispensing capabilities. Our goal is to reach nationwide distribution for our formulations within the next six to nine months. We also hope to build or otherwise access a 503B FDA-registered outsourcing facility which will offer us the ability to ship interstate and without an individual prescription. This would be most useful for our Tri-Moxi, Tri-Moxi-Vanc and Lido-Hep formulations, and any other proprietary formulations we may develop, acquire or otherwise pursue in the future.”

Ophthalmology Business

● Currently, Imprimis’ Dropless formulations are being prescribed by over 140 ophthalmologists who are using our formulations during cataract surgery. The company also believes there are applications for its Dropless formulations in other ocular surgeries. Imprimis continues to believe that in 2015, Dropless formulations will begin to serve the animal ophthalmology market as well. In addition to the Dropless injectable formulations, the company is also evaluating and validating other ophthalmology formulations, including a prednisolone acetate and moxifloxacin hydrochloride (“Pred-Moxi”) combination eye drop formulation that can be used post-LASIK surgery. Dropless Cataract Therapy™ has garnered extensive national media attention and has been featured in over 40 trade press print and digital articles this year. Given the significant potential cost savings to the healthcare system of Dropless therapy, our next objective is to work with both public and private payors on reimbursement policies that will allow for pricing normalization sometime in 2015.

● At the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) annual meeting held in Chicago, Illinois, Dropless Cataract Therapy was featured at several sessions including a “Cutting Edge” session hosted by Robert H. Osher, M.D. During the AAO meeting, Imprimis introduced physicians to its new online Go Dropless™ physician training portal designed to help familiarize surgeons and their staff with Dropless cataract therapy. The portal currently has a library of over 30 videos that demonstrate a wide array of cataract surgery preparation and injection techniques. The company will exhibit Go Dropless at two additional ophthalmology industry conferences this month, the OSN NY meeting in New York City, November 14-16, and the Millennial Eye Meeting in Austin, Texas, November 21-23.

● Imprimis has recently been contacted by a number of instrument and device manufacturers, who have initiated new projects to support the company’s Dropless therapy. Imprimis is now working with several of these companies to help further awareness of its proprietary formulations and to support their interest in building disposable surgical hardware for Dropless cataract therapy.

● Looking forward to the fourth quarter, over 4,000 units of Tri-Moxi and Tri-Moxi-Vanc were sold during the month of October 2014, representing an approximately 1.5% share of the relevant U.S. market.

● The company expects revenues from sales of its proprietary formulations to continue to grow in the fourth quarter of 2014 and in 2015, resulting from increased physician adoption of its proprietary ophthalmology formulations, the planned launch of its urology business during first quarter of 2015, the goal of normalizing national pricing for Tri-Moxi and Tri-Moxi-Vanc formulations, and the planned expansion of its distribution capabilities.

Urology Business

● In late October 2014, Imprimis announced plans to launch its urology business as early as the first quarter 2015. The company has acquired the rights to commercially compound a patented combination formulation of alkalized lidocaine and heparin (lido-hep), which is delivered to the bladder for the treatment of interstitial cystitis, also known as painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS). The patented lido-hep formulation was developed by world-renowned urologist, Lowell Parsons, MD, the inventor of Elmiron®, the only FDA-approved oral medication to treat the pain associated with IC/PBS. Compounded lido-hep instillation procedures are reimbursable by private healthcare providers and to Medicare beneficiaries under CPT Code 51700, and lido-hep is reimbursable at an estimated rate of $60 per instillation. In connection with the planned upcoming urology commercial launch as early as the first quarter of 2015, Imprimis expects to introduce Defeat IC, a national education campaign around IC/PBS and the patented lido-hep treatment option to help inform medical practitioners treating the estimated ten million women and men in the U.S. affected by this chronic disease. Select compounding pharmacies have been selling the compounded lido-hep instillation since 2011. In 2014, it is estimated that the number of prescriptions written for individual patients for the lido-hep formulation is expected to exceed 110,000, generating approximately $6.5 million in annual sales. To date, sales of the compounded lido-hep therapy have been generated without the benefit of a dedicated national sales and marketing strategy.

● The company continues to evaluate and validate a patent-pending formulation of injectable pentoxifylline for the treatment of patients suffering from Peyronie’s disease. Urologists have begun investigator-initiated research and these investigators expect to expand the research to include a larger population size. The company plans to announce the findings of this initial research as early as the second quarter of 2015, and may provide grant support for additional investigator-initiated studies for this formulation during the near term.

● *Currently, all Imprimis compounded formulations may only be prescribed pursuant to a physician prescription for an individually identified patient consistent with federal and state laws governing compounded drug formulations.

Prescription Dispensing Facilities

● Imprimis currently sells its patient-specific proprietary formulations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pharmacy Creations, which is currently licensed to make and distribute drug formulations in 33 states and three territories. The company is committed to adding to its prescription dispensing capabilities and is continuing to evaluate options available to the company, including the acquisition of or otherwise building additional prescription dispensing facilities.

● Immediately following its acquisition of Pharmacy Creations on April 1, 2014, Imprimis began implementing new internal quality assurance standards and best practice policies that are intended to exceed those required under the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) and state pharmacy laws in certain respects. The initial implementation of these new standards and policies was completed at the end of July, resulting in limited sales of the company’s proprietary and other non-proprietary formulations during that month. Although these initial standards and policies were largely implemented, Imprimis plans to continue to invest in its prescription dispensing pharmacy to further establish and improve quality assurance standards and best practices.
