EX-99.1 2 y06876exv99w1.txt PRESS RELEASE EXHIBIT 99.1 - Cambrex Corporation Press Release dated January 27, 2005 (CAMBREX LOGO) Date: March 15, 2005 Contact: Luke M. Beshar Anne-Marie Hess Executive Vice President & CFO Director, Investor Relations Phone: 201-804-3010 201-804-3062 Email: luke.beshar@cambrex.com annemarie.hess@cambrex.com Release: Immediate CAMBREX FILES EXTENSION FOR FORM 10-K AND ADJUSTS 2004 RESULTS East Rutherford, NJ - March 15, 2005 - Cambrex Corporation (NYSE: CBM) announced today that it is filing a fifteen-day extension for submission of its 2004 Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as permitted by the 1934 Exchange Act Rule 12b-25, in order to afford the Company the necessary time to complete the assessment of its internal controls over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In its January 27, 2005 press release, the Company indicated that it was analyzing and researching potential accounting adjustments estimated to be less than $1.5 million on a pre-tax basis and related to prior reporting periods. The Company has completed its analysis, which along with additional items subsequently identified, resulted in a $1.3 million cumulative reduction to previously reported full year 2004 net income. Of the cumulative $1.3 million adjustment to 2004 net income, - $1.2 million is related to accounting for leasehold improvements placed in service in 2003 and prior. Following a review of its lease accounting treatment and relevant accounting literature, the Company determined that it should use depreciable lives for its leasehold improvements that are the shorter of the economic life of the asset or the non-cancelable lease term. - $0.1 million is the net amount of adjustments for international taxes and accruals for inventory and employee benefits. Of the $1.3 million adjustment, $1.1 million relates to 2004 and $0.2 million relates to prior years. Since the $0.2 million attributable to prior years was deemed immaterial to the periods in which they occurred, the adjustment is included in the revised results for the first quarter of 2004. The following table summarizes the impact of the adjustments on net income versus previously disclosed results for the periods below.
