LANNETT ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY FISCAL 2014 FIRST QUARTER NET SALES OF $45 MILLION, ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE BETWEEN $0.20 AND $0.22

Company to Report Full Financial Results, Host Conference Call on Thursday, November 7th

Philadelphia, PA — October 31, 2013 — Lannett Company, Inc. (NYSE MKT: LCI) today announced that it expects to report fiscal 2014 first quarter net sales of approximately $45 million and adjusted earnings per share between $0.20 and $0.22.  On a GAAP basis, the company expects to report a loss per share attributable to Lannett Company in the range of $0.20 to $0.22, which includes a non-recurring, pre-tax charge of $20.1 million related to the previously announced contract extension with Jerome Stevens Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (JSP) to be the exclusive distributor in the United States of three JSP products.  For the prior year first quarter, net sales were $35.3 million and diluted earnings per share attributable to Lannett Company were $0.10, which included a favorable pre-tax litigation settlement of $1.3 million, equal to $0.02 per diluted share.  Excluding the JSP contract renewal charge, the company said the improved performance was driven by strong sales of existing and new products, price increases and favorable product mix.
