IRVINE, California — March 10, 2011 — Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (NasdaqGS: SPPI), a biotechnology company with fully integrated commercial and drug development operations with a primary focus in oncology, today reported financial results for the three and 12-months ended December 31, 2010.
“We are proud of our many accomplishments in 2010, especially the record revenue growth of both of our proprietary, marketed, anti-cancer drugs, FUSILEV® and ZEVALIN®, and the licensing of belinostat, a late-stage, potentially best-in-class HDAC inhibitor for potentially multiple indications,” said Rajesh C. Shrotriya, MD, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. “We remain committed to lymphoma. The cash generated by the record product sales provides us greater opportunity to help cancer patients by initiating additional studies for ZEVALIN, such as in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, and for our other pipeline drugs.”
Fourth Quarter Results Ended December 31, 2010 (All #s are approximates)
Consolidated revenue of $34 million was comprised of product sales of $31 million ($8 million from ZEVALIN, $23 million from FUSILEV) and $3 million from licensing fees. This represents a more than three-fold increase over the $9 million in consolidated revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009, which was comprised of $5 million from product sales and the balance from licensing and milestone fees. The Company recorded net income of $4 million, or $0.09 per basic and $0.08 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10 million, which includes income of $20 million from the change in the fair value of common stock warrant liability, or $0.21 per basic and $0.20 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2009. Total research and development expenses were $7 million, as compared to $4 million in the same period of 2009, primarily due to in-licensing of compounds and continued investment in clinical trials. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13 million compared to $11 million in the same period in 2009, an increase primarily attributable to sales and marketing expenses, including payroll costs and non cash stock compensation costs incurred with the sales of ZEVALIN and FUSILEV.
12-Month Results Ended December 31, 2010 (All #s are approximates)
Consolidated revenue of $74 million was comprised of product sales of $61 million ($29 million from ZEVALIN, $32 million from FUSILEV) and $13 million from licensing fees. This represents a nearly two-fold increase from $38 million in consolidated revenue recorded in 2009, which was comprised of $28 million from product sales ($16 million from ZEVALIN, $12 million from FUSILEV) and $10 million from milestone and licensing fees. The Company recorded a net loss attributable to stockholders’ of $49 million, or ($0.99) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to stockholders’ of $19 million, or ($0.48) per basic and diluted share, in the same period of 2009. Total research and development expenses were $57 million, as compared to $21 million in the same period of 2009, primarily due to the $30 million upfront payment for the licensing of belinostat, and a one-time charge of $3 million, representing the fair value of 751,956 shares of our common stock issued as consideration for the acquisition and licensing of compounds. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $49 million compared to $34 million in the same period in 2009 an increase primarily due to the $14 million increase attributable to sales and marketing expenses, including payroll costs, incurred with the increase in sales of ZEVALIN and FUSILEV.

About ZEVALIN® and the ZEVALIN Therapeutic Regimen
ZEVALIN (ibritumomab tiuxetan) is indicated for the treatment of patients with previously untreated follicular non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL), who achieve a partial or complete response to first-line chemotherapy. ZEVALIN is also indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory, low-grade or follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
ZEVALIN is a CD20-directed radiotherapeutic antibody. The ZEVALIN therapeutic regimen consists of three components: rituximab, Indium-111 (In-111) radiolabeled ZEVALIN for imaging, and Yttrium-90 (Y-90) radiolabeled ZEVALIN for therapy. The ZEVALIN therapeutic regimen is a form of cancer therapy called radioimmunotherapy. Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is an innovative form of cancer treatment with a mechanism of action that is different from traditional chemotherapy. RIT builds on the combined effect of a targeted biologic monoclonal antibody augmented with the therapeutic effects of a beta-emitting radioisotope.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures contained herein are a supplement to the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures presented exclude the items summarized in the below table. Management believes that adjustments for these items assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results and that these items are not indicative of the Company’s on-going core operating performance.
Management uses non-GAAP net income (loss) in its evaluation of the Company’s core after-tax results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance measurement process. Management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors to view the Company’s financial results in the way that management views the financial results.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of the Company’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company may be different from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
