COVINGTON, Ky., February 23, 2012 - Omnicare, Inc. (NYSE:OCR) reported today financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011.

Fourth-Quarter Highlights:
Gross profit of $359.7 million; 69 basis point increase in gross margin to 23.10%
Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share increased 7% sequentially to $0.58, GAAP income per diluted share of $0.34
Cash flows from continuing operations of $101.5 million

Full-Year Highlights:

Cash flows from continuing operations increased 49% to $549.4 million

“We are very pleased with our solid fourth quarter results, which validate the continuing progress our organization is making in becoming more operationally driven and customer-focused,” said John Figueroa, Omnicare's Chief Executive Officer. “We exited the year as a much stronger company, and we are now realizing the benefit from the investments we made throughout 2011. As we look to 2012 and beyond, we believe Omnicare is well-positioned to generate long-term profitable growth in both core businesses, Long-Term Care and Specialty Care, while continuing to make a positive difference for our many stakeholders.”

Fourth-Quarter Results

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

Adjusted gross profit was $359.7 million as compared with $334.3

million
GAAP income from continuing operations per diluted share was $0.34 versus a $0.50 loss
Adjusted income from continuing operations (see “per share” discussion below and attached supplemental information) per share was $0.58 versus $0.51
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $162.9 million versus $147.6 million

Cash flows from continuing operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 were $101.5 million versus $99.7 million in the comparable prior-year quarter.

Sequential Comparison

In comparison to the third quarter of 2011, financial results from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2011 were as follows:

Gross profit was $359.7 million as compared with $346.1 million
GAAP income from continuing operations per share was $0.34 versus $0.33
Adjusted income from continuing operations (see discussion below and attached supplemental information) per share was $0.58 versus $0.54
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $162.9 million compared to $157.2 million

“During the fourth quarter, we benefited from the introduction of new generic drugs, which lower the cost of pharmaceutical care for both Omnicare and its customers,” said Mr. Figueroa. “This pharmaceutical market dynamic, coupled with the continued rapid growth of our Specialty Care Group, contributed to our 4% sequential increase in gross profit and supported further investments in the business.”

Financial Position

During the fourth quarter of 2011, Omnicare used the proceeds from its offering of an additional $150 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 to redeem the remaining $50 million principal amount on its 6.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the “6.125% Notes") and the remaining $100 million principal amount on its 6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (the “6.875% Notes").

Omnicare ended the year with $582.6 million in cash on its balance sheet and a 34.5% total debt to total capital ratio at December 31, 2011, which was down approximately 110 basis points from 35.6% at December 31, 2010.

With respect to its share repurchase program, Omnicare repurchased approximately 0.7 million shares of common stock during the quarter and paid an aggregate amount of $20 million. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $58.9 million of availability under its current share repurchase authorization.

“We continue to be very pleased with our ability to convert earnings into cash flows,” said John L. Workman, Omnicare's President and Chief Financial Officer. “Our fourth-quarter cash flows from continuing operations of $101 million bring our 2011 total to $549 million, representing the highest annual output in Omnicare's 30-year history. These robust cash flows have enabled us to maintain an opportunistic yet disciplined approach to capital deployment with the underlying objective of deploying cash toward those opportunities that we believe generate the most value for our 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.

"As we consider our expectations for 2012, our focus is on capitalizing on the foundation we have built for profitable growth."

Omnicare, Inc. and Subsidiary Companies
Footnotes and Definitions to Financial Information
(000s, except per share amounts and unless otherwise stated)
Unaudited


Footnotes:
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 $39 million, $40 million and $167 million in the three months ended December 31 and September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, as well as approximately $121 million and $350 million in the year ended December 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 December 31 and September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the year ended December 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 December 31 and September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 included acquisition and other related costs of approximately $14.6 million, $6.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. These expenses were primarily related to professional fees and acquisition related restructuring costs for acquisitions, offset by reductions in the Company's purchase accounting reserves in 2011 and the original estimate of contingent consideration payable for acquisitions in the 2010 period. The years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 included similar expenses of approximately $25.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively.
ii.
Financial results from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2011include charges of approximately $4.2 million, $20.2 million and $25.5 million, respectively, primarily due to net debt redemption costs for the early redemption of $525 million of the 6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes, due 2015, and costs related to the termination of the Company's old revolving credit agreement and the early redemption of $250 million of 6.125% Senior Subordinated Notes, due 2013. The three months and year ended December 31, 2010 includes approximately $31.5 million and $41.6 million, respectively, for debt redemption loss and costs related to the Company's 2010 refinancing transactions.
iii.
Operating income for the three months and year ended December 31, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2010 included separation, benefit plan termination and related costs of approximately $1 million and $65 million, respectively, which was comprised of the following:
a.
A charge of approximately $1.0 million in the three months and year ended December 31, 2011 for restricted stock amortization to a former executive.
b.
A charge of approximately $40 million in the year ended December 31, 2010 for 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.
c.
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 in the year ended December 31, 2010.

iv.
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2011, operating income includes a special (credit) of approximately $(10.5) million for insurance recoveries related to the quality control, product recall and fire issues at one of the Company's repackaging locations ("Repack Matters"). The three months and year ended December 31, 2010 includes a special (credit) of approximately $(0.1) million and $(1.2) million, respectively, for similar recoveries, partially offset by additional costs precipitated by the Repack Matters.
v.
Operating income includes restructuring and other related charges of approximately $6.8 million and $17.2 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2010, respectively, in connection with the "Omnicare Full Potential" Plan and “Company-Wide Reorganization” Program.
vi.
In the three months and year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $13 million for an impairment of a trade name intangible asset based on the results of the Company's annual assessment, as well as an other asset impairment charge of approximately $10 million primarily to write-off software assets that were abandoned.
vii.
Operating income includes charges of approximately $0.7 million and $4.2 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2010, respectively, relating to the accounting for share-based payments, which primarily relates to non-cash stock option expense.
viii.
In connection with funding the benefit payments to certain former executives in the three months and year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized a gain, recorded in investment income, of approximately $0.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively, on rabbi trust assets liquidated to make these benefit payments.
ix.
The three months and year ended December 31, 2010 include a charge of approximately $6.8 million relating to the termination of the Company's prior aircraft lease.
(iii)
The provision for doubtful accounts includes an incremental charge recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010 relating to the Company's Senior Management team taking a different strategic approach for the resolution of past due accounts which are disputed and/or currently in litigation.
(iv)
The Company recorded non-cash interest expense from the amortization of debt discount on its convertible notes of approximately $6 million in the three months ended December 31 and September 30, 2011, respectively. These costs totaled approximately $7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, and $24 million and $30 million for the years ended December 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 and completed the divestiture in April 2011. Also, in the second quarter of 2011, the Company divested its Tidewater Group Purchasing Organization (“Tidewater”). The Company determined that the CRO Services and Tidewater businesses were no longer good strategic fits within the Company's portfolio of assets. In the third quarter of 2011, the prior letter of intent (“LOI”) regarding the disposition of the remaining durable medical equipment (“DME”) portion of the Disposal Group was terminated, and a new LOI was entered into with a separate party. The Company closed the DME transaction in the fourth quarter of 2011. In connection with these activities, Omnicare recorded an impairment loss in discontinued operations for the DME portion of the Disposal Group in the three months ended December 31, 2011, September 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2011, CRO Services and Tidewater recorded impairment losses to reduce the carrying value of the CRO Services and Tidewater operations to fair value based on the final terms of the divestiture. The year ended December 31, 2010 includes an impairment loss to reduce the carrying value of the CRO Services operations to fair value. The results from operations for all periods presented have been revised to reflect the results of the Disposal Group and Tidewater (collectively, the “Non-Core Disposal Group”), as well as 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.
