WOONSOCKET, RHODE ISLAND, August 5, 2014 - CVS Caremark Corporation (NYSE: CVS) today announced operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Revenues
 
Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014, increased 10.7%, or approximately $3.4 billion, to $34.6 billion compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Revenues in the Pharmacy Services Segment increased 16.2%, or $3.0 billion, to $21.8 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was driven by net new business, growth in specialty pharmacy including the acquisition of Coram and the impact of Specialty Connect®, drug inflation and product mix, partially offset by an increase in generic dispensing. Pharmacy network claims processed during the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased 2.2% to 210.4 million compared to 205.9 million in the prior year. The increase in the pharmacy network claim volume was primarily due to net new business, partially offset by a decrease in Medicare Part D claims. Mail choice claims processed during the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased 1.0% to 20.5 million, compared to 20.7 million in the prior year. The decrease in mail choice claims was driven by a decline in traditional mail volumes, which was partially offset by growth in our Maintenance Choice program.
 
Revenues in the Retail Pharmacy Segment increased 4.5%, or $732 million, to $16.9 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2014. Same store sales increased 3.3% versus the second quarter of last year, with pharmacy same store sales up 5.0% and front store same store sales down 0.4%. Pharmacy same store prescription volumes rose 3.9% on a 30-day equivalent basis. Front store same store sales were positively impacted by approximately 80 basis points from the shift of the Easter holiday from March in 2013 to April in 2014. Front store same store sales were negatively impacted by softer customer traffic, partially offset by an increase in basket size. In addition, front store same store sales would have been approximately 110 basis points higher if tobacco and the estimated associated basket sales were excluded. Pharmacy same store sales were negatively impacted by approximately 160 basis points from recent generic drug introductions and by approximately 130 basis points from the implementation of Specialty Connect. The implementation of Specialty Connect had a greater effect on revenues than prescription volumes due to the higher dollar value of specialty products.

Specialty Connect integrates the Company's mail and retail capabilities, providing members with the choice to bring their specialty prescriptions to any CVS/pharmacy® location. Whether submitted through our mail order pharmacy or at CVS/pharmacy, all prescriptions are filled through the Company’s specialty mail order pharmacies, so all revenue from this specialty prescription services program is recorded within the Pharmacy Services Segment. Members then can choose to pick up their medication at their local CVS/pharmacy or have it sent to their home through the mail.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the generic dispensing rate increased approximately 180 basis points in the Pharmacy Services Segment, to 82.4%, and approximately 160 basis points in the Retail Pharmacy Segment, to 83.5%, compared to the prior year.

Net Income
 
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2014, increased 10.9%, or approximately $122 million, to $1.2 billion, compared with approximately $1.1 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2013. The Pharmacy Services and Retail Pharmacy segments both benefited from the impact of increased generic drugs dispensed and, consistent with our guidance, from the State of California's finalization of Medicaid reimbursement rates relative to our historic rate estimates. The Pharmacy Services Segment was positively impacted by growth in specialty pharmacy and favorable purchasing economics. The Retail Pharmacy Segment was positively impacted by increased sales and an improved margin rate, partially offset by incremental store operating costs associated with operating more stores. Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, was $1.13 and $0.97, respectively, an increase of 16.5%. Adjusted EPS in the three months ended June 30, 2014 excludes $133 million and $124 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively, of intangible asset amortization related to acquisition activity. GAAP earnings per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, was $1.06 and $0.91, respectively, an increase of 16.7%.
 
President and Chief Executive Officer Larry Merlo stated, “I'm extremely pleased with our strong performance this quarter. With Adjusted EPS increasing 16.5%, we came in two cents above the high end of our expectations. This was fueled by solid results across the enterprise, as both the PBM and retail businesses exceeded revenue expectations while delivering strong gross margins. Operating profit in the PBM increased 30%, exceeding expectations, while operating profit in the retail business grew 6.5%, at the high end of our expectations.” Mr. Merlo continued, "Additionally, we have generated significant free cash flow through the first half of this year. Between dividends and share repurchases, we have returned $2.6 billion to our shareholders year-to-date, and remain on track to achieve our goal of returning more than $5 billion in 2014."
 
Guidance
 
The Company raised and narrowed its earnings guidance range for the full year 2014. The Company now expects to deliver Adjusted EPS of $4.43 to $4.51, up from $4.36 to $4.50. GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations was raised to $4.16 to $4.24, up from $4.09 to $4.23. The Company continues to expect to deliver 2014 free cash flow of $5.5 billion to $5.8 billion, while the 2014 cash flow from operations range was raised to $7.2 billion to $7.5 billion, up from $7.0 to $7.3 billion. The Company expects to deliver Adjusted EPS of $1.11 to $1.14 and GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations of $1.04 to $1.07 in the third quarter of 2014.

Real Estate Program
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company opened 34 new retail drugstores and closed four retail drugstores. In addition, the Company relocated eight retail drugstores. As of June 30, 2014, the Company operated 7,859 locations in 47 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Brazil. These locations included 7,705 retail drugstores, 860 health care clinics, 17 onsite pharmacies, 24 retail specialty pharmacy stores, 11 specialty mail order pharmacies, four mail service dispensing pharmacies, and 84 branches and six centers of excellence for infusion and enteral services.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share
(Unaudited)
 
For internal comparisons, management finds it useful to assess year-over-year performance by adjusting diluted earnings per share for amortization, which primarily relates to acquisition activities.
 
The Company defines adjusted earnings per share as income before income tax provision plus amortization, less adjusted income tax provision, divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

(1)         Net revenues of the Pharmacy Services Segment includes approximately $2.0 billion of retail co-payments for the three months ended both June 30, 2014 and 2013, as well as $4.2 billion of retail co-payments for the six months ended both June 30, 2014 and 2013.
(2)
Intersegment eliminations relate to two types of transaction: (i) Intersegment revenues that occur when Pharmacy Services Segment customers use Retail Pharmacy Segment stores to purchase covered products. When this occurs, both the Pharmacy Services and Retail Pharmacy segments record the revenue on a stand-alone basis, and (ii) Intersegment revenues, gross profit and operating profit that occur when Pharmacy Services Segment customers, through the Company's intersegment activities (such as the Maintenance Choice® program), elect to pick up their maintenance prescriptions at Retail Pharmacy Segment stores instead of receiving them through the mail. When this occurs, both the Pharmacy Services and Retail Pharmacy segments record the revenue, gross profit and operating profit on a standalone basis. The following amounts are eliminated in consolidation in connection with the intersegment activity described in item (ii) above: net revenues of $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $2.3 billion and $2.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and gross profit and operating profit of $170 million and $127 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $346 million and $265 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(1)
Pharmacy network net revenues, claims processed and generic dispensing rates do not include Maintenance Choice, which are included within the mail choice category.
(2)
Mail choice is defined as claims filled at a Pharmacy Services mail facility, which include specialty mail claims, as well as 90-day claims filled at retail under the Maintenance Choice program.
(3)
Pharmacy network is defined as claims filled at retail pharmacies, including our retail drugstores, but excluding Maintenance Choice activity.
(4)
In May 2014, the Company implemented Specialty Connect, which integrates the Company's mail and retail capabilities, providing members with the choice to bring their specialty prescriptions to any CVS/pharmacy location. Whether submitted through our mail order pharmacy or at CVS/pharmacy, all prescriptions are filled through the Company’s specialty mail order pharmacies, so all revenue from this specialty prescription services program is recorded within the Pharmacy Services Segment. Members then can choose to pick up their medication at their local CVS/pharmacy or have it sent to their home through the mail.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share Guidance
(Unaudited)
 
The following reconciliation of estimated income before income tax provision to estimated adjusted earnings per share contains forward-looking information. All forward-looking information involves risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking information for a number of reasons as described in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and under the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in our most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For internal comparisons, management finds it useful to assess year-over-year performance by adjusting diluted earnings per share for amortization, which primarily relates to acquisition activities.

Free Cash Flow Guidance

The following reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow contains forward-looking information. All forward-looking information involves risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking information for a number of reasons as described in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and under the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in our most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For internal comparisons, management finds it useful to assess year-over-year cash flow performance by adjusting cash provided by operating activities, by capital expenditures and proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions.
