Greg Weishar, PharMerica Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “PharMerica’s second quarter and first half 2015 results exceeded expectations and reinforces our view that we are on track to achieve our 2015 financial objectives.

“On a year-over-year basis, we achieved double-digit revenue growth, high single digit growth in Adjusted EBITDA and a new record generic dispensing rate of 86%.  We expect that the generic drug dispensing rate will continue to increase in 2015 and 2016, driven in part by Abilify and Namenda; two important drugs in the institutional pharmacy market that recently went generic.

“As we improved the quality of the Company’s client mix and switched drug wholesalers earlier in 2015, we recorded an expected decrease in gross profit.  However, our continued focus on controlling operating costs resulted in a 180 basis point year-over-year improvement in SG&A, and a 40 basis point sequential improvement.

“The specialty pharmacy businesses also achieved another quarter of year-over-year and sequential double–digit revenue growth.  In 2014 we set a goal of achieving specialty revenues of at least $400 million in 2016.  Based on our year-to-date performance and expectations for the second half of 2015, we continue to be very confident we will exceed this goal in 2016. In fact, there is a good chance we will see specialty revenues of $400 million this year.

Mr. Weishar concluded, “PharMerica’s strong, scalable national platform is built to support continued growth.  In the second half of 2015 we will stay focused on driving organic growth, diversifying the revenue base through prudent acquisitions and building scale.  We are confident this strategy enables PharMerica to continue creating value for our shareholders, clients and patients.”

Full Year 2015 Financial Guidance

PharMerica reaffirms its full year 2015 guidance metrics:

·
Revenue in the range of $1.950 billion to $2.050 billion;
·
Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $1.55 to $1.65; and
·
Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $137 million to $142 million.

The Company notes that its 2015 guidance does not include the effect of any future 2015 acquisitions.

Second Quarter 2015 Results

The results for the second quarter 2015 are set forth below:

Ø
Key Comparisons of Second Quarters Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

Revenues for the second quarter of 2015 were $497.5 million compared with $448.6 million for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 10.9%. The increase in revenues was driven by recent acquisitions, growth in the Company’s specialty pharmacy businesses, and branded drug inflation.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $81.2 million compared with $81.9 million in the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of 0.9%. The decrease in gross profit was driven by higher drug costs under the Company’s prime vendor agreement and an improvement in the Company’s client mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $55.4 million or 11.1% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $57.9 million or 12.9% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease of $2.5 million was due to cost improvements.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 was $33.2 million compared with $30.6 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 8.5%.

Net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $2.3 million, or $0.07 diluted earnings per share, compared to a net loss of $9.7 million or $0.32 diluted loss per share, for the same period in 2014. Net income in the second quarter of 2015 and 2014 was adversely impacted by $6.9 million and $26.6 million of pre-tax charges for settlement and litigation matters, respectively.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.37 in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $0.40 in the second quarter of 2014.

Cash flows used in operating activities for the second quarter of 2015 were $22.2 million compared with $26.5 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Ø
Key Comparisons of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $1,009.0 million compared with $900.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 12.0%. The increase was driven by recent acquisitions, growth in the Company’s specialty pharmacy businesses and branded drug inflation.
 
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $169.8 million compared with $161.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 4.9%. The increase in gross profit was driven by recent acquisitions, growth in the Company’s specialty pharmacy businesses and branded drug inflation; this was partially offset by the higher drug costs under the Company’s prime vendor agreement signed in March 2015.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $114.4 million or 11.3% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $115.1 million or 12.8% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease of $0.7 million is due to cost improvements.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended 2015 was $70.6 million compared with $60.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 17.1%.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $11.9 million, or $0.38 diluted earnings per share, compared to a net loss of $4.9 million, or $0.16 diluted loss per share, for the same period in 2014. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 was adversely impacted by $9.2 and $27.8 million of pre-tax charges for settlement and litigation matters, respectively.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.85 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $0.77 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $22.1 million compared with cash flows used in operating activities of $22.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in cash from operating activities was due primarily to the $48.8 million in AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation drug purchase payments withheld, the Corporation’s inventory purchasing strategy and an increase in net income, which were partially offset by an increase in AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation rebates receivable.

Ø
Additional Sequential Quarterly Comparisons:

The Company’s generic dispensing rate increased 70 basis points from the prior quarter to 86.0%.

On a sequential basis, prescriptions dispensed in the institutional pharmacy business declined 6.8%. The decline was primarily associated with planned terminations of clients to improve the Company’s profitability.

The 8.4% decrease in gross profit in the second quarter compared to the first quarter was primarily the result of higher drug costs under the Corporation’s prime vendor agreement.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
PharMerica calculates Adjusted EBITDA as provided in the reconciliation above and calculates Adjusted EBITDA Margin by taking Adjusted EBITDA and dividing it by revenues. PharMerica calculates and uses Adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of its ability to generate cash from reported operating results.  The measurement is used in concert with net income and cash flows from operations, which measure actual cash generated in the period.  In addition, PharMerica believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are supplemental measurement tools used by analysts and investors to help evaluate overall operating performance and the ability to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures.  In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is used in conjunction with the Corporation’s debt leverage ratio and this calculation sets the applicable margin for the quarterly interest charge.  Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is not the same calculation as these unaudited reconciliation tables.  Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for PharMerica’s discretionary use and is not intended to represent or to be used as a substitute for net income or cash flows from operations data as measured under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA but included in the calculation of PharMerica’s reported net income and cash flows from operations are significant components of the accompanying consolidated income statements and cash flows and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance.  PharMerica’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with calculations of EBITDA used by other companies.

PharMerica calculates and uses adjusted diluted earnings per share, exclusive of the impact of merger, acquisition, integration costs and other charges, settlement, litigation and other related charges, restructuring and impairment charges, loss on extinguishment of debt, Hurricane Sandy disaster costs, stock-based and deferred compensation, and the impact of discrete items on the tax provision as an indicator of its core operating results.  The measurement is used in concert with net income and diluted earnings per share, which measure actual earnings per share generated in the period.  PharMerica believes the exclusion of these charges in expressing adjusted diluted earnings per share provides management with a useful measure to assess period to period comparability and is useful to investors in evaluating PharMerica’s operating results from period to period.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share, exclusive of the impact of merger, acquisition, integration costs and other charges, settlement, litigation and other related charges, restructuring and impairment charges, loss on extinguishment of debt, Hurricane Sandy disaster costs, stock-based and deferred compensation, and the impact of discrete items on the tax provision do not represent the amount that effectively accrues directly to stockholders (i.e., such costs are a reduction in earnings and stockholders’ equity) and is not intended to represent or to be used as a substitute for diluted earnings per share as measured under GAAP.  The impact of merger, acquisition, integration costs and other charges, settlement, litigation and other related charges, restructuring and impairment charges, Hurricane Sandy disaster costs, loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based and deferred compensation and the impact of discrete items on the tax provision excluded from the diluted earnings per share are significant components of the accompanying consolidated income statements and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance.
