CUMBERLAND PHARMACEUTICALS INC

The management of Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013).

Based on its assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and schedule (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Customer Allowances for Chargebacks, Discounts and Damaged Goods, and Accruals for Rebates, Coupons, Product Returns, and Certain Fees

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the allowances against accounts receivable and accrued liabilities for chargebacks, discounts, service fees and expired product returns are determined on a product-by-product basis and established by management as the Company’s best estimate at the time of sale based on each product’s historical experience adjusted to reflect known changes in the factors that impact such allowances. These allowances are established based on the contractual terms with direct and indirect customers and analyses of historical levels of chargebacks, discounts and returns of expired product.

As of December 31, 2025, allowances in accounts receivable for chargebacks, cash discounts, and damaged goods were $1.2 million and the estimated liability for rebates, coupons, product returns, and certain fees were $7.8 million. These provisions are recognized concurrently with the sales of products. Provisions for chargebacks involve estimates of usage by retailers and other indirect buyers with varying contract prices for multiple wholesalers. The provision for chargebacks varies in relation to changes in sales volume, product mix, pricing, and the level of inventory at the wholesalers. Provisions are calculated using historical chargeback experience, and/or expected chargeback levels for new products and anticipated pricing changes. Provisions for rebates are recognized based on contractual obligations in place at the time of sales with consideration given to relevant factors that may affect the payment, as well as historical experience for estimated market activity. Provisions for product returns are calculated based on the expiration dates of products sold, the window where customers are permitted to return products, and the history of returns for individual products in relation to the sales volume for each product.

We identified the customer allowances for chargebacks, discounts, and damaged goods and accruals for rebates, coupons, product returns, and certain fees as a critical audit matter. The principal consideration for our determination was the significant measurement uncertainty involved in developing the reserves. Management exercises judgment in computing the amount of sales subject to the allowances and tracks the amount of allowances taken over time. All of this in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions, which includes the assumption that historical activity is a good predictor of future allowance activity and modifications made to calculations based on more recent history.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

•Tested management’s process for calculating certain allowances and developed an independent expectation of the reserve balance for the remaining allowances.

•Performed a look back analysis of prior year reserves compared to actual experience in the current year.

•Tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used to estimate the accrual by evaluating a service organization from which data was obtained, agreeing sales data used in the calculations to reports that were reconciled to the consolidated financial statements, reconciling various allowance percentages to signed customer contracts, and tracing allowance amounts used by various customers during the year to supporting documentation.

•Evaluated the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management in the computation of selected allowances, including comparison to historical results and considering recent changes in factors that could influence claims, such as changes in the shelf life of the products.

•Tested the clerical accuracy of individual customer allowances computed by management and agreeing the total of all estimated allowances to the respective accounts on the consolidated financial statements.

•Compared actual activity for chargebacks, discounts, and damaged goods and rebates, coupons, product returns, and certain fees reported after December 31, 2025, to estimated reserves and accruals on the December 31, 2025, consolidated balance sheet.
