Full Year Adjusted EBITDA Increases 5.7%

Company Announces 2013 Earnings Guidance

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (February 7, 2013) – PharMerica Corporation (NYSE: PMC), a national provider of institutional pharmacy, specialty infusion services, and hospital pharmacy management services, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2012 and year ended December 31, 2012.

Commenting on the Company’s results, Gregory S. Weishar, PharMerica Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “PharMerica’s solid performance in the fourth quarter and full year demonstrates accelerating financial and operating momentum. Operating profits and gross margins improved due to increased generic dispensing. Over 85% of our prescriptions are now dispensed generically. We also saw improved bed retention. Customer and client satisfaction levels are at all time highs as we benefit from the organization’s focus on the customer and strategic investments in service technologies. Today, PharMerica’s service levels are better than they have been in over a decade.

“Looking forward, we enter 2013 well positioned to capitalize on industry demand. We have strengthened the sales and service team. We have improved purchasing terms. We have solidified operations. And, we have unique products and services that save our clients money. All of this leads to a stronger market presence. We are fast approaching the point where we will achieve the goal of organic growth in LTC services.

“We are also optimistic that we can grow Amerita, our most recent acquisition. Amerita is a leading regional supplier of specialty infusion services. Amerita extends the Company’s market reach into the home, a strategic imperative, as we see a significant segment of the senior population aging in their home. There are meaningful operating and market synergies between the infusion and LTC operating segments, and we are confident that Amerita will emerge as a national player in the home infusion industry and position PharMerica Corporation to serve an expanded senior population.”

Gross margin expanded 220 basis points to 16.4% for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with 14.2% for the year ended December 31, 2011.

•

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2012, was $22.9 million, or $0.77 diluted earnings per share, compared with $23.4 million, or $0.79 diluted earnings per share, for the same period in 2011.

•

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012, were $1,832.6 million compared with $2,081.1 million for the same period of 2011, a decrease of 11.9%, driven in part by higher generic dispensing.

Fiscal 2013 Earnings Guidance

The Company announced its fiscal 2013 earnings guidance range as follows:

 

(In millions, except per share data)		Ranges
Revenues		$1,567.0 - $1,694.0
Adjusted EBITDA*		$113.2 - $121.2
Stock-based compensation and deferred compensation		$7.2
Depreciation and amortization expense		$32.0
Interest expense, net		$11.8
Tax rate		40.1%
Net income		$37.3 - $42.0
Adjusted diluted earnings per share*		$1.39 - $1.55
Common and common equivalent shares outstanding		29.9

 

*

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share include an add back for expected expenses incurred related to stock-based compensation and deferred compensation, which has not historically been a part of Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Such amount is approximately $4.3 million (pre-tax $7.2 million), or $0.14 diluted earnings per share. See the supplemental information schedules at the end of this press release for recasted historical information under this definition.

As is normal practice, the fiscal 2013 earnings guidance does not consider any benefits from future acquisitions nor does it consider any merger, acquisition, integration costs and other charges the Company may incur, including but not limited to the application of new accounting pronouncements or other non-recurring charges, including the impact of Hurricane Sandy. Also, the guidance does not consider the potential impact of the expected conversion to Average Manufacturers Price (“AMP”) because the effect of these items cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

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 this Adjusted EBITDA table. 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 unaudited condensed 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, the impact of the impairment charge, impact of the Hurricane Sandy disaster costs, and the impact of tax accounting matters, 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, the impact of the impairment charge, impact of the Hurricane Sandy disaster costs, and the impact of tax accounting matters, 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, the impact of the impairment charge, impact of the Hurricane Sandy disaster costs, and the impact of tax accounting matters excluded from the diluted earnings per share are significant components of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated income statements and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (Continued)

Supplemental Information

Effective January 1, 2013, we will be redefining our Adjusted EBITDA. In addition to adding back to net income interest expense, the provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, the impact of Hurricane Sandy disaster costs, merger, acquisition, integration costs and other charges and impairment of intangibles; we will also be adding back the non-cash impact of stock-based and deferred compensation.

We believe the new definition of Adjusted EBITDA reflects a better measurement of overall operational performance and our ability to generate cash from reported operating results. In addition, we will also redefine our adjusted diluted earnings per share to be consistent with Adjusted EBITDA. The adjusted diluted earnings per share will be exclusive of the impact of merger, acquisition, integration costs and other charges, Hurricane Sandy disaster costs, impairment of intangible costs, non-cash stock based and deferred compensation and tax accounting matters. The following represents PharMerica Corporation’s historical quarterly Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share for the last eight quarters as if the new definition was in effect:
