Full-Year 2011 Financial Outlook Reaffirmed

COVINGTON, Ky., April 28, 2011 – Omnicare, Inc. (NYSE:OCR) reported today financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

“Continuing our momentum at the end of the year, we have taken a number of positive steps during the first quarter in an effort to transition Omnicare into a stronger operations-driven company,” said John Figueroa, Omnicare’s Chief Executive Officer.  “Most notably, we improved our customer retention rate for the third consecutive period, reflecting positively on our company-wide focus on service and our redefined organizational structure.  Additionally, we continued to strengthen the organization within our specialty care group, while also continuing our efforts to insource certain corporate support functions, most notably hiring talented executives to lead our legal, tax and compliance functions.  We believe these organizational changes reinforce our focus on operations.”

First-Quarter Results

Financial results from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared with the same prior-year period, were as follows:

·

Earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2011, excluding the special items discussed below, was $148.3 million versus $165.0 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Sequential Comparison (Excluding Special Items)

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, financial results from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2011 were as follows:

·  
Net sales were $1,528.5 million as compared with $1,532.7 million
·  
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $148.3 million compared to $148.7 million

“Our first quarter results were driven principally by strength in prescription volumes, which were favorably impacted by higher utilization and generally stable occupancy rates at our customers’ facilities,” said Mr. Figueroa.  “Further, our generic dispensing rate climbed 120 basis points sequentially, benefitting both Omnicare and its payors alike.  These volume-related and pharmaceutical market developments continue to support our plan, to reposition the company for sustained growth.”

Financial Position

During the quarter, Omnicare redeemed $125 million of its 6.125% Senior Subordinated Notes, leaving $125 million of these notes outstanding as of March 31, 2011.  The Company also concluded the first quarter of 2011 with no borrowings outstanding on its revolving credit facility and $454.1 million in cash on its balance sheet.  Omnicare’s total debt to total capital of 34.3% at March 31, 2011, was down approximately 130 basis points from 35.6% at December 31, 2010.

With respect to its share repurchase program, the Company repurchased approximately 1.0 million shares of common stock during the quarter and paid an aggregate amount of $28.7 million.  As of March 31, 2011, Omnicare had $68.4 million of availability under its current share repurchase authorization.

“Our first quarter cash flows from continuing operations of approximately $144 million, which benefited from lower inventories, represented our strongest performance in over a year,” said John L. Workman, Omnicare’s President and Chief Financial Officer.  “This robust quarterly cash flow enabled us to make additional improvements to our capital structure while continuing our plan of returning capital to shareholders.”

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 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 at 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.

CRO Divestiture

In connection with a reallocation of resources that started in the second half of 2010, Omnicare committed to a plan to divest of its Contract Research Services (“CRO Services”) organization in the first quarter of 2011 as it has determined that the CRO Services business is no longer a good strategic fit within the Company’s portfolio of assets.  In connection with discontinuing the operations of this business, the results from operations for all periods presented have been revised to reflect the results of CRO Services as discontinued operations, including the impairment loss as well as certain expenses of the Company related to the divestiture. 

Special Items

The results for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010 include the impact of special items totaling approximately $14.9 million pretax ($9.3 million aftertax, or approximately $0.08 per share) and $19.0 million pretax ($12.0 million aftertax, or approximately $0.10 per diluted share), respectively.

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

Outlook

Omnicare reaffirmed its full-year 2011 financial outlook, which includes the following:

·  
Revenues of $6.0 billion to $6.1 billion
·  
Income per diluted share from continuing operations of $2.05 to $2.15 (excluding special items)
·  
Cash flow from continuing operations of $375 million to $425 million

Webcast Today

Omnicare will hold a conference call to discuss its first-quarter 2011 financial results today, Thursday, April 28, at 9:30 a.m. ET.  A live webcast of the conference call and supplemental slides will be accessible from the Investor Relations section of Omnicare's Web site at http://ir.omnicare.com.  An archived replay will be made available on the Web site following the conclusion of the conference call.

Non-GAAP Information:
Omnicare, Inc. (“Omnicare” or the “Company”) management believes that presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude items not considered part of the core operating results of the Company and certain non-cash charges, enhances investors’ understanding of how Omnicare management assesses the performance of the Company’s business.  Omnicare management uses non-GAAP measures for budgeting purposes, measuring actual results, allocating resources and in determining employee incentive compensation.  Omnicare’s method of calculating non-GAAP financial results may differ from those used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

(a)  
Financial results from continuing operations included special item charges of approximately $15 million and $19 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Additional information regarding the special item charges follows:
(i).  
Operating income includes settlement, litigation and other related charges (including related professional expenses) for resolution of certain regulatory matters with various states and regulatory agencies, as well as costs associated with certain large customer disputes, purported class and derivative actions against the Company, and settlement of the investigation by the United States Attorney’s Office, District of Massachusetts (in the 2010 period).  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 items recognized.
(ii).  
Financial results from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 included the following special item charges which are included in the cost of sales, other miscellaneous charges and interest expense captions of the income statement:
i.  
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 included acquisition and other related costs of approximately $1.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively.  These expenses were primarily related to professional fees and acquisition related restructuring costs for 2011 and 2010 acquisitions, offset by reductions in the Company's original estimate of contingent consideration payable for acquisitions in the 2010 period.
ii.  
Financial results from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 includes charges of approximately $1.1 million for net debt redemption costs related to the early redemption of $125 million of 6.125% Senior Subordinated Notes, due 2013.
iii.  
Operating income includes restructuring and other related charges of approximately $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 in connection with the "Omnicare Full Potential" Plan.
iv.  
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, operating income includes a special charge of approximately $1.2 million for additional costs (net of recoveries) precipitated by the quality control, product recall and fire issues at one of the Company's repackaging locations ("Repack Matters").
v.  
Operating income includes charges of approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 relating to the accounting for share-based payments, which primarily relates to non-cash stock option expense.
(iii).  
The Company recorded non-cash interest expense from the amortization of debt discount on its convertible notes of approximately $6 million and $7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Discontinued Operations:
In 2009, the Company commenced activities to divest certain home healthcare and related ancillary businesses (“the disposal group”) that are non-strategic in nature.  Also, in connection with the reallocation of resources started in the second half of 2010 and the previously disclosed unfavorable market conditions experienced by its Contract Research Services organization (“CRO Services”) business, the Company committed to a plan to divest of its CRO Services business in the first quarter of 2011 as it has determined that the CRO Services business in no longer a good strategic fit within the Company’s portfolio of assets.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, CRO Services recorded an impairment loss to reduce the carrying value of the CRO Services operations to fair value as of March 31, 2011.  The results from operations for all periods presented have been revised to reflect the results of the disposal group and CRO Services as discontinued operations, including certain expenses of the Company related to the divestitures.

Definitions:
GAAP:
Amounts that conform with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

Non-GAAP:
Amounts that do not conform with U.S. GAAP.

Earnings Per Share:
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.

EBIT:
EBIT represents earnings before interest expense (net of investment income) and income taxes.

EBITDA:
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.  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.  Certain special items must be added back to (or deducted from) EBITDA and/or Adjusted EBITDA to avoid “double-counting” in the Company’s calculation of EBITDA.
