OMNICARE REPORTS THIRD-QUARTER 2010 RESULTS

·  
Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations Per Share of $0.52; 8.3% Sequential Increase from $0.48 in 2010 Second Quarter
·  
Solid Cash Flows from Continuing Operations of $116.4 Million
·  
Company Repurchased 1.7 Million Shares During Quarter
·  
Full-Year 2010 Guidance Range Reaffirmed at $2.00 to $2.10 Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations Per Share

COVINGTON, Ky., October 28, 2010 – Omnicare, Inc. (NYSE:OCR), one of the nation's leading providers of pharmaceutical care for the elderly, reported today financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Commenting on the third-quarter results, John L. Workman, Omnicare’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said, “During the quarter, prescription volumes increased, driven by growth in the average number of beds served as well as the benefit of one additional calendar day.  Across our network, utilization was relatively stable sequentially and occupancy rates at customer facilities, while still lower, experienced improvement in the rate of decline.  These factors, coupled with certain favorable pharmaceutical marketplace dynamics and continued robust growth in our specialty pharmacy business, largely drove performance for the quarter.”

Third-Quarter Results

Financial results from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, as compared with the same prior-year period, were as follows:

·  
Net sales were $1,544.4 million as compared with $1,543.9 million
·  
Reported income / (loss) from continuing operations per share was $(0.88) versus $0.67
·  
Adjusted income from continuing operations (see discussion below and attached supplemental information) per share was $0.52 versus $0.76

Cash flows from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $116.4 million versus $168.8 million in the comparable prior-year quarter.  Included in the third quarter of 2010 was a payment of approximately $21 million for a previously disclosed settlement reached in September 2010 as well as approximately $7 million of separation-related payments associated with three former Omnicare executives (excluding certain benefit plan payments funded with rabbi trust assets).

Earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2010, including the special items and accounting changes discussed below, was $(39.5) million versus $159.0 million in the third quarter of 2009.  Excluding the special items and accounting changes, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in the 2010 third quarter was $140.7 million versus $168.4 million in the 2009 third quarter.

Financial Position

The Company concluded the third quarter of 2010 with no borrowings outstanding on its revolving credit facility and $353.3 million in cash on its balance sheet.  Omnicare’s total debt to total capital at September 30, 2010 was 36.8%, up approximately 70 basis points from 36.1% at September 30, 2009.

With respect to its share repurchase program, the Company repurchased a total of 1.7 million shares of common stock during the quarter for an aggregate amount of $33.6 million.  As of September 30, 2010, Omnicare had $117.2 million of availability under its current share repurchase authorization.

To facilitate comparisons and to enhance the understanding of core operating performance, the discussion which follows includes financial measures that are adjusted from the comparable amount under GAAP to exclude the impact of the special items and accounting changes discussed elsewhere herein, and to present results on a continuing operations basis.  For a detailed presentation of reconciling items and related definitions and components, please refer to the attached schedules or to reconciliation schedules posted on the Investor Relations section of Omnicare’s Web site at http://ir.omnicare.com.  Additionally, the Company will make supplemental slides available in the same section on its Web site today that will include the number of scripts dispensed, beds served, and other information relevant to Omnicare’s operations.

Pharmacy Services Business

Omnicare's pharmacy services business generated sales of $1,518.0 million for the third quarter of 2010 as compared with sales of $1,507.0 million reported in the third quarter of 2009.  This quarter-over-quarter sales increase was primarily attributable to the effects of branded drug price inflation and growth in the Company’s specialty pharmacy businesses.  These factors were partially offset by the impact of lower prescription volumes largely due to a reduction in census at client facilities, reduced utilization for certain drugs and a lower average number of net beds served, along with a shift in mix toward assisted living which typically has lower penetration rates, increased availability and utilization of generic drugs, and reductions in reimbursement coupled with competitive pricing issues.

Adjusted operating profit in Omnicare’s pharmacy services business was $137.0 million in the third quarter of 2010 as compared with the $164.4 million earned in the same 2009 quarter.  This lower quarter-over-quarter operating profit in the third quarter was due largely to certain of the aforementioned items that had an unfavorable impact on net sales, primarily the reductions in prescription volumes, and reimbursement and competitive pricing issues.  These factors were more than offset by the increased availability and utilization of higher margin generic drugs, the favorable effect of drug price inflation, the Company’s cost reduction and productivity improvement initiatives and lower bad debt expense.

CRO Business

The Company's contract research business (“CRO”) generated revenues of $26.4 million for the third quarter of 2010 as compared with the $36.9 million in revenues generated in the same prior-year quarter.  The CRO business generated an adjusted operating loss for the 2010 third quarter of $(2.8) million versus an adjusted operating profit of $0.7 million in the same prior-year period.  Backlog at September 30, 2010 was $147.0 million.  As further discussed in the “Footnotes to Financial Information” section elsewhere herein, the Company recorded a $91 million goodwill impairment charge during the third quarter of 2010 relating to its CRO business.

Nine Months Results

Financial results from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared with the same prior-year period, were as follows:

·  
Net sales were $4,587.8 million as compared with $4,626.5 million
·  
Reported income / (loss) from continuing operations per share was $(0.22) as compared with $1.30
·  
Adjusted income from continuing operations (see discussion below and attached supplemental information) per share was $1.59 as compared with $2.04

EBITDA from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2010, including the impact of special items and accounting changes, was $217.1 million versus $422.2 million in the comparable prior-year period.  Excluding the special items, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in the first nine months of 2010 was $447.1 million as compared with $520.5 million in the first nine months of 2009.

Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2010 totaled $269.6 million, which includes settlement payments of approximately $59 million, $7 million of separation-related payments and a $7.6 million tender premium relating to the Company’s recent capital restructuring initiatives.  Operating cash flows from continuing operations during the same period in 2009 was $431.0 million.

Special Items and Accounting Changes

The results for the third quarter of 2010 and 2009 include the impact of special items and accounting changes totaling approximately $203.1 million pretax ($162.0 million aftertax, or approximately $1.40 per share) and $17.5 million pretax ($10.8 million aftertax, or approximately $0.09 per diluted share), respectively.

Results for the first nine months of 2010 and 2009 include special items totaling $279.6 million pretax ($211.6 million aftertax, or approximately $1.81 per share) and $123.3 million pretax ($87.4 million aftertax, or approximately $0.74 per share), respectively.

The special items and accounting change impacts have been described in further detail in the “Footnotes to Financial Information” section elsewhere herein.

Outlook

Omnicare reaffirmed its expectations for adjusted income per share and operating cash flows from continuing operations.  Full-year 2010 income per share from continuing operations are currently expected to be in the range of $2.00 to $2.10 (excluding special items and accounting changes).  Moreover, operating cash flows from continuing operations for the full-year 2010 is currently expected in the range of $400 to $450 million (excluding legal settlements, tender premium payments and certain separation-related payments).

“Over the past quarter, we have instituted a number of organizational elements that we believe will make Omnicare a stronger operating company,” commented James D. Shelton, Omnicare’s Interim President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Most recently, we have initiated a reshaping of the organization with the objective of deploying resources closer to our customers, allowing us to become more responsive to their needs.  We intend to build on this and other recently enacted initiatives in order to better leverage the Omnicare platform and position the company for long-term profitable growth.”

(1)  
Gross Profit and Operating income includes special charges primarily due to additional costs precipitated by the previously disclosed quality control, product recall and fire issues at one of the Company's repackaging locations ("Repack Matters").

(2)  
Selling, general and administrative expenses includes charges relating to the adoption of the accounting change for share-based payments, which primarily relates to non-cash stock option expense.  The authoritative guidance requires the Company to record compensation costs based on estimated fair values relating to share-based payment transactions, including stock options, in its consolidated financial statements.

(3)  
Operating income and interest expense includes charges for debt redemption costs related to the Company’s previously disclosed refinancing transactions.

 
12

 
 
(4)  
Operating income includes restructuring and other related charges in connection with the implementation of the "Omnicare Full Potential" Plan, a major initiative primarily designed to re-engineer the pharmacy operating model to increase efficiency and enhance customer growth, as well as other realignment and right-sizing across the entire organization, including the CRO business.

(5)  
Operating income includes estimated litigation-related settlements and professional expenses for resolution of certain regulatory matters with various states (including the Michigan and Massachusetts qui tams), as well as costs associated with certain large customer disputes (including a $23.1 million charge in the third quarter relating to the anticipated resolution of this matter), settlement of the investigation by the United States Attorney’s Office, District of Massachusetts,  and purported class and derivative actions against the Company.  Additionally, Omnicare has made, and will continue to make, disclosures to the applicable governmental agencies of amounts, if any, determined to represent over-payments from the respective programs and, where applicable, those amounts, as well as any amounts relating to certain inspections, audits, inquiries and investigations activity are included in the pretax special item reflected in the table.

(6)  
Operating income included acquisition and other related costs related to the adoption of the accounting change for business combinations.  These expenses/(credits) were primarily related to professional fees and acquisition related restructuring costs for 2010 and 2009 acquisitions, offset by reductions in the Company's original estimate of contingent consideration payable for acquisitions.

(7)  
The Company recorded a charge for previously disclosed separation costs with three former Omnicare executives.  These amounts primarily relate to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards, stock options, severance, interest, and employer payroll taxes on these items.

(8)  
On September 30, 2010, the Company terminated the defined benefit portion of its Excess Benefit Plan.  As a result of the Plan termination, the Company recognized a one-time charge to expense of approximately $25 million for benefit plan termination and related costs.

(9)  
In the third quarter of 2010, the Company revised its outlook on the CRO Services business.  Based on the revised outlook, the fair value of the CRO Services reporting unit, as determined using a combination of an income approach utilizing the estimated present value of future cash flows and a market approach utilizing selected guideline public companies, no longer supported the goodwill recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2010.  Accordingly, Omnicare’s third quarter 2010 results include a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $91 million to write off the goodwill in this segment based on the results of the underlying analysis.

(10)  
In connection with funding the initial benefit payments to certain former executives in the third quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $3.2 million on rabbi trust assets liquidated to make the payments.  This gain was recorded in the investment income caption of the consolidated income statement.

(11)  
The Company recorded  amortization of discount on convertible notes for a non-cash increase in pretax interest expense related to the adoption of the accounting change for accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement).
 
(b)        In mid-2009, the Company commenced activities to divest certain home healthcare and related ancillary businesses (“the disposal group”) that are non-strategic in nature.  The disposal group, historically part of Omnicare’s Pharmacy Services segment, primarily represents ancillary businesses which accompanied other more strategic assets obtained by Omnicare in connection with the Company’s institutional pharmacy acquisition program.  The results from operations for all periods presented have been revised to reflect the results of the disposal group as discontinued operations, including certain expenses of the Company related to the divestiture.  All amounts disclosed herein relate to the Company’s continuing operations unless otherwise stated.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the disposal group recorded an impairment charge of approximately $10,343 and $14,492 pretax ($8,484 and $12,065 after taxes, or $0.07 and $0.10 per diluted share), respectively, to reduce the carrying value of the disposal group to fair value.

(c)        In accordance with the authoritative guidance for income statement characterization of reimbursements received for “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred, Omnicare has recorded reimbursements received for “out-of-pocket” expenses on a grossed-up basis in the income statement as net sales and cost of sales.  The respective amounts are disclosed at the “Segment Reconciliations – CRO Services” section of the Financial Information.  This authoritative guidance relates solely to the Company’s contract research services business.

(d)        EPS (basic EPS; special items, net of taxes; adjusted basic EPS; diluted EPS; and adjusted diluted EPS) is reported independently for each amount presented.  Accordingly, the sum of the individual amounts may not necessarily equal the separately calculated amounts for the corresponding period.  Further, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 (loss) per share has been computed using basic weighted average shares outstanding only, as the impact of the Company's potentially dilutive instruments was anti-dilutive during this period, due to the net loss incurred.
 
 
 
13

 
 
(e)        Omnicare believes that investors' understanding of Omnicare's performance is enhanced by the Company's disclosure of certain non-GAAP financial measures as presented in this financial information.  Omnicare management believes that the adjusted non-GAAP financial results information is useful to investors by providing added insight into the Company's performance through focusing on the results generated by the Company's ongoing core operations and by excluding certain non-cash charges, which are also the primary purposes for which Omnicare management uses the adjusted non-GAAP financial results.  Omnicare's method of calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

(f)        The noted presentation excludes amounts that Omnicare is required to record in its income statement pursuant to the authoritative guidance for income statement characterization of reimbursements received for “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred, as previously discussed in footnote (c) above.

(g)        The noted presentation for the three and nine months ended September 30 2010 and 2009, and three months ended June 30, 2010, excludes the special items and accounting change impacts discussed in footnote (a).  Management believes these items are not related to Omnicare’s ordinary course of business and/or are non-cash in nature, as previously discussed in footnote (e) above.

(h)        EBITDA represents earnings before interest expense (net of investment income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization.  Omnicare uses EBITDA primarily as an indicator of the Company’s ability to service its debt, and believes that certain investors find EBITDA to be a useful financial measure for the same purpose.  However, EBITDA does not represent net cash flows from operating activities, as defined by U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as a substitute for operating cash flows as a measure of liquidity.  Omnicare’s calculation of EBITDA may differ from the calculation of EBITDA by others.

(i)        During the second quarter of 2010, the Company completed its offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% senior subordinated notes due 2020 (the “7.75% Senior Notes”).  A portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 7.75% Senior Notes were used to purchase all $225 million of the Company’s 6.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 primarily pursuant to a tender offer and consent solicitation.  The redemption was completed on July 1, 2010.  Also, a portion of the proceeds were used to fund the previously announced common stock repurchase program discussed in further detail at footnote (j) below.

(j)        On May 3, 2010, Omnicare announced that in conjunction with its second quarter 2010 refinancing (as described in footnote (i) above), the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new two-year program to repurchase, from time to time, shares of Omnicare's outstanding common stock having an aggregate value of up to $200 million, depending on market conditions and other factors.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company repurchased approximately 3.7 million shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $83 million.  Accordingly, the Company had approximately $117 million of share repurchase authority remaining as of September 30, 2010.

(k)        Free cash flow represents net cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures and dividends paid by the Company.  Omnicare believes that certain investors find free cash flow to be a helpful measure of cash generated from current operations, net of cash used for its ongoing capital expenditures and dividend payment requirements.  Omnicare's calculation of free cash flow may differ from the calculation of free cash flow by others.

(l)        The noted amount is deducted for purposes of deriving EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to avoid double-counting.  Specifically, this amount is not included in operating income, but is included in the depreciation and amortization (“D&A”) expense amount being added back.  Accordingly, this amount must be eliminated from the D&A expense amount to properly compute EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.

(m)        The noted amount is deducted for purposes of deriving adjusted EBITDA to avoid double-counting.  Specifically, this amount has been treated as a special item, and is also included in the D&A expense amount being added back.  Accordingly, this amount has already been excluded from adjusted operating income and must be eliminated from the D&A expense amount to properly compute adjusted EBITDA.
