DEERFIELD, Ill., Oct. 1, 2013 – Walgreen Co. (NYSE: WAG) (Nasdaq: WAG) today announced earnings and sales results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2013 ended Aug. 31.
Net earnings determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter were $657 million, an 86.4 percent increase from $353 million in the same quarter a year ago. Net earnings per diluted share for the quarter increased 75.9 percent to 69 cents, compared with 39 cents per diluted share in the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted fiscal 2013 fourth quarter net earnings were $702 million, a 26.9 percent increase from $553 million in the same quarter a year ago. Adjusted net earnings per diluted share for the quarter increased 15.9 percent to 73 cents, compared with 63 cents per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. This year’s adjusted fourth quarter results exclude the negative impact of 5 cents per diluted share in acquisition related amortization, 4 cents per diluted share in Alliance Boots related tax, 1 cent per diluted share in other acquisition related costs and 1 cent per diluted share in costs associated with the company’s change in prescription drug wholesalers. Also excluded is the positive impact of 6 cents per diluted share in fair value adjustments and amortization related to the company’s warrants to purchase AmerisourceBergen’s common stock, and 1 cent per diluted share from the quarter’s LIFO income.
GAAP and adjusted net earnings in this year’s quarter include 3 cents per diluted share in net gains from certain litigation matters.
Last year’s adjusted fourth quarter results exclude the negative impact of 9 cents per diluted share related to the company’s transaction with Alliance Boots GmbH, 10 cents per diluted share from the quarter’s LIFO provision and 5 cents per diluted share in acquisition-related amortization costs.
“We had a solid quarter across our entire business. We saw improvement in our daily living business resulting from the investments we made and enhanced execution. We also saw continued strength in our pharmacy business as we increased our retail pharmacy market share for the fiscal year to 19.1 percent, and we continued to make great progress on controlling selling, general and administrative costs,” said Walgreens President and CEO Greg Wasson. “We closed the year with record sales and record free cash flow, and we were pleased to be able to return more than $1 billion to shareholders during fiscal 2013 as we increased our dividend for the 38th consecutive year.”

During fiscal 2013, the company delivered fiscal year operating cash flow of $4.3 billion and record free cash flow of $3.1 billion, while increasing its quarterly dividend rate in July 2013 by 14.5 percent to 31.5 cents per share, consistent with the company’s goal of returning cash to shareholders.

“Our solid results, especially in the latter part of the quarter, round out a year of steady progress on our long-term growth strategies to create a well experience, transform community pharmacy and establish an efficient global platform with our strategic partner Alliance Boots and with our long-term relationship with AmerisourceBergen,” Wasson said. “We are very pleased to have exceeded our joint synergy target with Alliance Boots. We also are pleased with the successful distribution transition of branded drugs to AmerisourceBergen. Extraordinary customer response to our Balance® Rewards loyalty program, now with more than 85 million enrollees, gives us a wealth of new insights to increase customer delight. In addition this year, we expanded our Healthcare Clinic and pharmacy services, and we forged long-term contracts with fair and predictable reimbursement rates with the major commercial pharmacy payers, bringing greater stability and certainty to our pharmacy book of business. We also began participating as part of the preferred pharmacy networks of three of the top national Medicare Part D plans, giving us a leading role in serving the growing number of Medicare-eligible Americans.”
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Sales
Fourth quarter sales increased 5.1 percent compared with the prior-year quarter to $17.9 billion, while sales for fiscal 2013 increased 0.8 percent to a record $72.2 billion. Front-end comparable store sales (those open at least a year) increased 1.6 percent in the fourth quarter, customer traffic in comparable stores decreased 1.9 percent and basket size increased 3.6 percent, while total sales in comparable stores increased 4.6 percent.
Prescription sales, which accounted for 63.9 percent of sales in the quarter, increased 6.1 percent, while prescription sales in comparable stores increased 6.4 percent. The company filled 203 million prescriptions in the quarter, an increase of 8.2 percent over last year’s fourth quarter. Prescriptions filled in comparable stores increased 7.1 percent in the quarter.
In fiscal 2013 Walgreens filled a record 821 million prescriptions, representing a retail prescription market share of 19.1 percent, an increase of 0.4 percentage point over the previous year.
Gross Profit and SG&A
GAAP total gross profit dollars increased $356 million, or 7.4 percent, compared with the year-ago fourth quarter, with gross profit margins increasing 60 basis points versus the year-ago quarter to 28.9 as a percentage of sales. Adjusted gross profit dollars increased $216 million, or 4.3 percent, compared with the year-ago fourth quarter.
4
The growth in GAAP margins was driven by an increase in generic prescription drugs dispensed, while front-end margins slightly declined. Fiscal 2013 fourth quarter LIFO was a benefit of $8 million, compared with a $132 million charge in the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by lower than anticipated prescription drug inventory levels in advance of the transition to AmerisourceBergen.
GAAP selling, general and administrative expense dollars increased $37 million, or 0.9 percent, compared with the year-ago quarter, including a 1.0 percentage point benefit of lower SG&A expenses for acquisition-related costs, offset by 0.3 percentage point related to the company’s change in prescription drug wholesalers and 0.1 percentage point of acquisition related amortization costs. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expense dollars increased $60 million, or 1.5 percent, compared with the year-ago quarter. Both GAAP and adjusted selling, general and administrative expense dollars include a net benefit of 1.1 percentage points from certain litigation matters.
The company opened or acquired 33 new drugstores in the fourth quarter compared with 54 in the year-ago quarter. In fiscal 2013, Walgreens added a net gain of 186 new drugstores including 76 net new drugstores through acquisitions.
Interest expense increased to $55 million in this year’s fourth quarter compared with $37 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to the $4.0 billion issuance of notes associated with the Alliance Boots transaction and also includes a $16 million negative impact from a non-cash fair market value adjustment to the company’s previously outstanding interest rate swaps on its $1.3 billion notes. These notes were repaid in August and the swaps were settled.
Milestones and Looking Ahead
Walgreens achieved several key milestones since the beginning of fiscal 2013 in executing its vision to be the first choice in health and daily living, including:
|
●
|
Following the announcement in March that Walgreens and Alliance Boots reached a strategic, long-term relationship with AmerisourceBergen, Walgreens and AmerisourceBergen successfully began implementation in early September of their 10-year agreement for pharmaceutical distribution. AmerisourceBergen also will collaborate with Walgreens and Alliance Boots on global supply chain opportunities, and Walgreens and Alliance Boots together have rights to acquire a minority equity position in AmerisourceBergen.

Alex Gourlay, Chief Executive of the Health & Beauty Division, Alliance Boots, was appointed as Walgreens Executive Vice President, President of Customer Experience and Daily Living, effective Oct. 1.

|
|
●
|
In September, Walgreens announced a partnership with Theranos, Inc. to bring access to Theranos’ new lab testing service through Walgreens pharmacies nationwide. Consumers will be able to access less invasive and more affordable clinician-directed lab testing from a blood sample as small as a few drops, or 1/1,000th the size of a typical blood draw.
|
|
●
|
Last month, Walgreens also announced its acquisition of Kerr Drug’s 76 retail drugstores and its specialty pharmacy business, with the transaction expected to close later this year. During fiscal 2013, Walgreens also completed its acquisition of the USA Drug chain.
|
|
●
|
Walgreens and Express Scripts launched Smart90® Walgreens, a new option for Express Scripts clients interested in 90-day prescription drug programs that drive lower costs and improve health outcomes for people with chronic diseases. Plan sponsors that choose to include Walgreens as part of the Smart90 program for their pharmacy benefit will provide their members who have chronic conditions the choice to receive 90-day supplies of maintenance medications through home delivery from Express Scripts or directly at a Walgreens retail pharmacy for the same copayment.
|
|
●
|
Walgreens Balance® Rewards loyalty program has grown to more than 85 million enrollees. The company announced that members can participate in additional health-related activities and goal tracking to earn more points through walking, running and weight management goals that can be logged and tracked through Steps with Balance Rewards.

Walgreens provided more than 8.5 million immunizations in fiscal year 2013, compared with 6.7 million the prior year. Walgreens is the largest retail provider of flu immunizations in the country. This flu season, Walgreens is partnering with the United Nations Foundation to help provide up to 3 million life-saving vaccines to children in developing countries through a donation to the Foundation’s Shot@Life campaign.
|
|
●

“Looking ahead, we begin the new fiscal year well positioned to build on the momentum we have coming out of a solid fourth quarter. We are advancing our key strategies with a continued focus on disciplined execution, and are addressing the challenges ahead in a difficult consumer environment and changing health care system,” Wasson said. “While we are pleased with our progress and momentum, we recognize there is more to do to achieve our vision of being the first choice for health and daily living for everyone in America, and beyond.”
At Aug. 31, Walgreens operated 8,582 locations in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam. The company has 8,116 drugstores nationwide, 186 more than a year ago. Walgreens also operates worksite health and wellness centers, infusion and respiratory services facilities, specialty pharmacies and mail service facilities. Its Take Care Health Systems subsidiary manages more than 700 in-store convenient care clinics and worksite health and wellness centers. Walgreens e-commerce business includes Walgreens.com, drugstore.com, Beauty.com, SkinStore.com and VisionDirect.com.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(In millions, except per share amounts)
The following information provides reconciliations of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, as defined under SEC rules, presented in this press release to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The company has provided these non-GAAP financial measures in the press release, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management has evaluated the company’s financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items and believes that the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the Company’s business from period to period and trends in the company’s historical operating results. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in the press release.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities in a period minus additions to property and equipment (capital expenditures) made in that period. This measure does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures as the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments for future business acquisitions. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our entire statements of cash flows.
