LEXINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBST) today announced unaudited fourth quarter and full year 2011 total CUBICIN® (daptomycin for injection) net product revenues. Not included in this news release are any revenues associated with the recent acquisition of Adolor, which will be addressed in our full earnings news release and conference call on January 19, 2012. The table below does include service revenues associated with Cubist’s co-promotion of Optimer Pharmaceuticals’ DIFICID® and other revenues, which increased primarily due to the achievement of a $5.0 million sales milestone that we received from our international partner, Novartis AG.

“Led by our strong commercial model, we grew total CUBICIN net product revenue in the fourth quarter by 25 percent, while transforming Cubist into a global leader for products in the acute care and hospital environment,” said Michael Bonney, President and CEO of Cubist. “With our recent acquisition of Adolor and an outstanding late-stage pipeline, we enter 2012 with strong momentum and a focus on excellence in execution across the entire business.”
