Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

1.              DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Diplomat Pharmacy, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) operate a specialty pharmacy services business that stocks, dispenses and distributes prescriptions for various biotechnology and specialty pharmaceutical manufacturers. Its primary focus is on medication management programs for individuals with complex chronic diseases. Disease states covered include oncology, immunology, specialty infusion therapy, hepatitis, multiple sclerosis and many other serious or long-term conditions. The Company has its corporate headquarters and main distribution facility in Flint, Michigan and operates 31 total locations in Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin. The Company also has centralized call centers to effectively deliver services to customers located in all 50 states in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and U.S. territories. The Company operates as one reportable segment.

 

2.              BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 8, 2017.

 

3.              SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Diplomat Pharmacy, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries and a 51 percent owned subsidiary, formed in August 2014, which the Company controls. An investment in an entity in which the Company owns less than 20 percent and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence is accounted for under the cost method.

 

Noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary in the condensed consolidated balance sheets represents the minority shareholders’ proportionate share of the equity in such subsidiary. Consolidated net income (loss) is allocated to the Company and noncontrolling interests (i.e., minority shareholders) in proportion to their percentage ownership.

 

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consist of prescription and over-the-counter medications and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Prescription medications are returnable to the Company’s vendors and fully refundable before six months of expiration, and any remaining expired medication is relieved from inventory on a quarterly basis.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from prescription drug sales for home delivery at the time the drugs are shipped. At the time of shipment, the Company has performed substantially all its obligations under its payor contracts and does not experience a significant level of returns or reshipments. Revenues from dispensing specialty prescriptions that are picked up by patients at an open door or retail pharmacy location are recorded at prescription adjudication, which approximates the fill date. Sales taxes are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues and costs). Revenues generated from prescription drug sales were $1,115,472 and $1,175,169 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $3,307,533 and $3,247,401 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

The Company accrues an estimate of fees, including direct and indirect remuneration (“DIR”) fees, which are assessed or expected to be assessed by payors at some point after adjudication of a claim. In the third quarter of 2016, the Company was assessed and recorded approximately $4,000 of retroactive DIR fees, representing increases from its previous DIR estimates that were accrued for in the first and second quarters of 2016 by approximately $1,700 and $2,300, respectively.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from service, data and consulting services when the services have been performed and the earnings process is therefore complete. Revenues generated from service, data and consulting services were $9,485 and $6,004 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $22,628 and $18,148 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Adoption — Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes

 

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”), eliminating the requirement for companies to present deferred tax assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent. Instead, companies are required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent.

ASU Adoption — Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), eliminating Step 2 from the quantitative goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity will perform its annual, or interim, quantitative goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount (Step 1). An entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This ASU is effective for an entity’s annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, though early adoption is permitted.

 

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the accounting guidance contained within ASU 2017-04. This adoption had  no current impact on the Company.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which will supersede the existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The new standard focuses on creating a single source of revenue guidance for revenue arising from contracts with customers for all industries. The objective of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue when it transfers the promised goods or services to its customers at an amount that represents what the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, for public entities, though early adoption was permitted. Topic 606 permits two methods of adoption: retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (cumulative catch-up transition method). The Company intends to adopt Topic 606 using the cumulative catch-up transition method. The new standard also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements intended to provide users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a company’s contracts with customers. The Company has gathered most of its data from customer contracts and is currently evaluating the potential impact of the new standard. The Company is in the process of completing its applicable accounting policy memorandums. Based on its preliminary analysis to date, the Company does not expect there will be a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company is also assessing the impact of Topic 606 on its recent acquisitions and on the disclosures for its consolidated financial statement footnotes and expects to complete its implementation of the new standard in 2017.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at lease commencement date. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and/or notes thereto.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, providing guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, though early

adoption was permitted. This ASU is to be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating whether to early adopt and the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and/or notes thereto.

 

4.              BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

 

The Company accounts for its business acquisitions using the acquisition method as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Company ascribes significant value to the synergies and other benefits that do not meet the recognition criteria of acquired identifiable intangible assets. Accordingly, the value of these components is included within goodwill. The Company’s business acquisitions described below were treated as asset purchases for income tax purposes and the related goodwill resulting from these business acquisitions is deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations for acquired businesses are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates.

 

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combinations described below, including identifiable intangible assets, were based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price required management to make significant estimates in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially with respect to identifiable intangible assets. These estimated fair values were based on information obtained from management of the acquired companies and historical experience and, with respect to the long-lived tangible and intangible assets, were made with the assistance of an independent valuation firm. These estimates included, but were not limited to, the cash flows that an asset is expected to generate in the future, and the cost savings expected to be derived from acquiring an asset, discounted at rates commensurate with the risks and uncertainties involved. For acquisitions that involved contingent consideration, the Company recognized a liability equal to the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation as of the acquisition date. The estimate of fair value of a contingent consideration obligation required subjective assumptions regarding future business results, discount rates, and probabilities assigned to various potential business result scenarios.

 

Focus Rx Pharmacy Services Inc. and Focus Rx Inc.

 

On September 1, 2017, the Company acquired Focus Rx Pharmacy Services Inc. and Focus Rx Inc. (collectively, “Focus”), a specialty pharmacy focusing on infusion services located in Ronkonkoma, New York. The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire Focus:

The purchase price includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires the Company to pay the former owners additional cash payouts of up to $1,500 per performance period based upon the achievement of certain gross profit targets in the 12-month periods ending September 30, 2018 and 2019. The maximum additional cash payout is $3,000.

 

Approximately $1,200 of the purchase consideration was deposited into an escrow account to be held for 12 months after the closing date to satisfy any of the Company’s indemnification claims.

 

The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $234 which were charged to “Selling, general and administrative expenses” during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

5.              FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants

 

16



Table of Contents

 

would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1:     Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

Level 2:     Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:

 

A.            Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

 

B.            Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

 

C.            Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).

 

The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured and disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2017:

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments — consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities — approximate their estimated fair values due to the relative short-term nature of the amounts. The carrying amount of debt approximates fair value due to variable interest rates at customary terms and rates the Company could obtain in current financing.

On August 28, 2014, the Company and two unrelated third party entities entered into a contribution agreement to form a new company, Primrose Healthcare, LLC (“Primrose”). Primrose functions as a management company, managing a network of physicians and medical professionals providing continuum care for patients infected with the hepatitis C virus. The Company contributed $5,000 for its 51% ownership interest, of which $2,000 and $3,000 were contributed during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The unrelated third party entities contributed a software licensing agreement valued at $2,647 and intellectual property valued at $2,157. During the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to updated projections of continuing losses into the foreseeable future, the Company fully impaired Primrose’s intangible assets. The $4,804 impairment is contained within “Selling, general and administrative expenses” for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

From October 2011 through January 2017, the Company maintained a 25 percent minority interest in Worksmart MD, LLC, also known as Ageology, though it fully impaired its investment during the fourth quarter of 2014. In transactions unrelated to the Company, SkyPoint Ventures LLC (“SkyPoint”), an affiliated entity of the Company’s chief executive officer, loaned $16,000 to Ageology through January 2017. In February 2017, SkyPoint elected to convert its $16,000 in outstanding loans into equity in Ageology, which equated to an approximate ownership of 43 percent. Concurrently, the Company converted its $2,500 in outstanding loans (which the Company had written off during the fourth quarter of 2014) into equity in Ageology, which resulted in the Company having an approximate 22 percent minority interest following the recapitalization. Because the Company does not direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Ageology, management has determined that the Company is not nor ever has been Ageology’s primary beneficiary.

 

Subsequent to the February 2017 concurrent conversion transactions, SkyPoint loaned Ageology $2,920 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The Company granted service-based awards of 1,912,476 options to purchase common stock to key employees under its 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, of which 200,000 options were immediately vested at time of grant. The remaining 1,712,476 options become exercisable in installments of 25 percent per year, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date and each of the three anniversaries thereafter. All service-based options have a maximum term of 10 years.

 

The Company also granted performance-based awards of 1,060,759 options to purchase common stock to key employees under its 2014 Plan during the second quarter of 2017, of which 260,759 options will be earned or forfeited

based upon the Company’s performance relative to specified net sales and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization goals for the year ending December 31, 2017. The earned options, if any, will vest in four installments of 25%, with the first installment vesting upon the earlier of the date that the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K or Audit Committee confirmation of the satisfaction of the applicable performance goals, with the remaining installments vesting annually thereafter. The remaining 800,000 options will be earned or forfeited in increments based on the cumulative growth in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of a certain therapeutic category during the years ending December 31, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. The earned options, if any, will be determined annually each March 31 of the subsequent year and vest as of that date. All performance-based options have a maximum term of 10 years.

 

The 2,973,235 options to purchase common stock that were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 have a weighted average grant date fair value of $5.67 per option. The grant date fair values of these stock option awards were estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model using the assumptions set forth in the following table:

 

Exercise price

 

$14.36 - $17.93

 

Expected volatility

 

33.44% - 36.26%

 

Expected dividend yield

 

0%

 

Risk-free rate over the estimated expected life

 

1.88% - 2.32%

 

Expected life (in years)

 

5.00 - 6.25

 

 

Estimating grant date fair values for employee stock options requires management to make assumptions regarding expected volatility of value of those underlying shares, the risk-free rate over the expected life of the stock options and the date on which share-based payments will be settled. Expected volatility is based on a weighted average of the Company’s historic volatility and an implied volatility for a group of industry-relevant healthcare companies as of the measurement date. Risk-free rate is determined based upon U.S. Treasury rates over the estimated expected option lives. Expected dividend yield is zero as the Company does not anticipate that any dividends will be declared during the expected term of the options. The expected term of options granted is calculated using the simplified method (the midpoint between the end of the vesting period and the end of the maximum term).

The Company granted 90,718 RSUs to key employees under its 2014 Plan during the second quarter of 2017. The value of an RSU is determined by the market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. This value is recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is three years. Of the 90,718 RSUs granted, 46,505 cliff vest after three years, while the remaining 44,213 vest one-third per year, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date and each of the two anniversaries thereafter.

 

The Company recorded share-based compensation expense associated with RSUs of $83 and $188 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

10.       CONTINGENCIES

 

On November 10, 2016, a putative class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against Diplomat Pharmacy, Inc. and certain officers of the Company. Following appointment of lead plaintiffs and lead counsel, an amended complaint was filed on April 11, 2017. The amended complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with public filings made between February 29, 2016 and November 2, 2016 (the “potential class period”). The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of shareholders who purchased stock in the potential class period. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on May 24, 2017, and the lead plaintiffs filed a response in opposition to the Company’s motion to dismiss on July 10, 2017. A hearing on the motion to dismiss is scheduled for November 30, 2017. The Company believes the complaint and allegations to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the action. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of the litigation would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

 

On February 10, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) received a demand letter from a purported shareholder containing allegations similar to those contained in the putative class action complaint described above. The letter demanded that the Board take action to remedy the alleged violations. In response, the Board established a Special Independent Committee of its disinterested and independent members to investigate the claims. The Special Independent Committee is continuing to review this matter and has not yet concluded its investigation. Subsequently, on June 2, 2017, the shareholder filed a putative shareholder’s derivative lawsuit in the Michigan Circuit Court for the County of Genesee regarding the same matters alleged in the demand letter. The complaint names the Company as a nominal defendant and names a number of the Company’s current and former officers and directors as defendants. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief. In connection with the ongoing Special Independent Committee investigation, on July 20, 2017, the court ordered a stay of legal proceedings for 90 days. The court has ordered an extension of the stay of legal proceedings until January 8, 2018. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of the litigation would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

 

The results of legal proceedings are often uncertain and difficult to predict, and the Company could from time to time incur judgments, enter into settlements, materially change its business practices or technologies or revise its expectations regarding the outcome of certain matters. In addition, the costs incurred in litigation can be substantial, regardless of the outcome.

The Company’s business of providing specialized pharmacy services and other related services may subject it to litigation and liability for damages in the ordinary course of business. Nevertheless, the Company believes there are no other legal proceedings, the outcome of which, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

Overview

 

Diplomat Pharmacy, Inc. (the “Company,” “Diplomat,” “our,” “us,” or “we”) is the largest independent provider of specialty pharmacy services in the United States of America (“U.S.”), and is focused on improving the lives of patients with complex chronic diseases. Our patient-centric approach positions us at the center of the healthcare continuum for treatment of complex chronic diseases through partnerships with patients, payors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and physicians. We offer a broad range of innovative solutions to address the dispensing, delivery, dosing, and reimbursement of clinically intensive, high-cost specialty drugs (many of which can cost more than $100,000 per patient, per year). We have expertise across a broad range of high-growth specialty therapeutic categories, including oncology, immunology, hepatitis, specialty infusion therapy, multiple sclerosis, and many other serious or long-term conditions. We dispense to patients in all U.S. states and territories through our advanced distribution centers and manage centralized clinical call centers to deliver localized services on a national scale. Diplomat was founded in 1975 by our chief executive officer and chairman, Philip Hagerman, and his father, Dale, both trained pharmacists who transformed our business from a traditional pharmacy into a leading specialty pharmacy beginning in 2005.

 

Our core revenues are derived from the customized care management programs we deliver to our patients, including the dispensing of their specialty medications. Because our core therapeutic disease states generally require multiyear or lifelong therapy, our singular focus on complex chronic diseases helps drive recurring revenues and sustainable growth. Our organic revenue growth is primarily driven by new drugs coming to market, new indications for existing drugs, volume growth with current clients, and the addition of new clients. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we derived more than 99 percent of our revenue from the dispensing of drugs and the reporting of data associated with those dispenses to pharmaceutical manufacturers and other outside companies.

 

Our historical revenue growth has largely been driven by our position as a leader in the oncology, immunology, specialty infusion, hepatitis and multiple sclerosis therapeutic categories. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we generated approximately 94% and 94%, respectively, of our revenues in these therapeutic

Table of Contents

 

categories in aggregate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we generated approximately 94% and 93%, respectively, in the aggregate, of our revenues in these therapeutic categories.

 

We expect future revenue growth to be driven by a highly visible and recurring base of prescription volume and revenues, favorable demographic trends, advanced clinical developments, expanding drug pipelines, earlier detection of chronic diseases, improved access to medical care, mix shift toward higher-cost specialty drugs and manufacturer price increases. In addition, we believe our expanding service offerings, our growing penetration with new customers and our access to limited-distribution drugs will help us achieve sustainable revenue growth in the future. Further, we believe that limited distribution is becoming the delivery system of choice for many specialty drug manufacturers because it is conducive to smaller patient populations, because it facilitates high patient engagement, clinical expertise and an elevated focus on service and because it allows for real-time patient-specific (albeit de-identified) data. Accordingly, we believe our portfolio of approximately 100 limited-distribution drugs, all of which are commercially available, is important to our revenue growth.

Prescription Data (rounded to the nearest thousand)

 

Prescriptions dispensed represent prescriptions filled and dispensed by Diplomat to patients, or in rare cases, to physicians. Our volume for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 decreased by 17 percent and 11 percent, respectively, from the prior year periods. These volume decreases were due to contracts that were not renewed, a business decision to exit dispensing certain high-volume, but low-profit, drugs and a decrease in hepatitis C volume, partially offset by the contributions of our recent acquisitions, new drugs to the market or newly dispensed by us, growth in patients from current payors and physician practices and the addition of patients from new payors and physician practices.

Other key metrics used in analyzing our business are net sales per prescription dispensed and gross profit per prescription dispensed.

 

Net sales per prescription dispensed represents total prescription revenue from prescriptions dispensed by Diplomat divided by the number of prescriptions dispensed by Diplomat. Gross profit per prescription dispensed represents gross profit from prescriptions dispensed by Diplomat divided by the number of prescriptions dispensed by Diplomat. Total prescription revenue from prescriptions dispensed includes all revenue collected from patients, third-party

payors and various patient assistance programs, as well as revenue collected from pharmaceutical manufacturers for data and other services directly tied to the actual dispensing of their drug(s). Gross profit represents total prescription revenue from prescriptions dispensed less the cost of the drugs purchased, including performance-related rebates paid by manufacturers to us, which are recorded as a reduction to cost of products sold.

 

Components of Results of Operations

 

Net Sales

 

Revenue for a dispensed prescription is recognized at the time of shipment for home delivery and at prescription adjudication (which approximates the fill date) for patient pick up at open door or retail pharmacy locations. We can earn revenue from multiple sources for any one claim, including the primary insurance plan, the secondary insurance plan, the tertiary insurance plan, the patient co-pay and patient assistance programs. Prescription revenue also includes revenue from pharmaceutical manufacturers and other outside companies for data reporting or additional services rendered for dispensed prescriptions. Service revenue is primarily derived from fees earned by us from retail and hospital pharmacies for patient support that is provided by us to those non-Diplomat pharmacies to dispense specialty drugs to patients. The retail and hospital pharmacies dispense the drug and pay us a service fee for clinically and administratively servicing their patients.

 

Cost of Products Sold

 

Cost of products sold represents the purchase price of the drugs that we ultimately dispense. These drugs are purchased directly from the manufacturer or from an authorized wholesaler and the purchase price is negotiated with the selling entity. In general, period-over-period percentage changes in cost of products sold will move directionally with period-over-period percentage changes in net sales for prescription dispensing transactions. This is due to the mathematical relationship between average wholesale price (“AWP”) and wholesale acquisition cost (“WAC”), where most commonly AWP equals WAC multiplied by 1.20, and our contractual relationships to purchase at a discount off WAC and receive reimbursement at a discount off AWP. The discounts off AWP and WAC that we receive vary significantly by drug and by contract. Rebates we receive from manufacturers are reflected as reductions to cost of products sold when they are earned.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

 

Our operating expenses primarily consist of employee and employee-related costs, outbound prescription drug transportation and logistics costs and amortization expense from definite-lived intangible assets associated with our acquired entities. Our employee and employee-related costs relate to both our patient-facing personnel and our non-patient-facing support and administrative personnel. Other operating expenses consist of occupancy and other indirect costs, insurance costs, professional fees and other general overhead expenses. We expect that general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in dollars as we incur additional expenses related to our growth.

 

Other Expense

 

Other expense primarily consists of interest expense associated with our debt.

Net Sales

 

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $1,124,957, a $56,216 or 5 percent decrease, compared to $1,181,173 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily the result of approximately $118,000 due to contracts that were not renewed in 2017, as well as an approximately $89,000 decrease in hepatitis C drug sales versus the prior year period. These decreases were partially offset by approximately $64,000 from the impact of manufacturer price increases, approximately $47,000 of net sales from increased volume and mix associated with existing payor contracts, approximately $25,000 of net sales from our recent acquisitions, and approximately $15,000 from drugs that were new in the past 12 months.

 

Cost of Products Sold

 

Cost of products sold for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $1,039,654, a $63,007 or 6 percent decrease, compared to $1,102,661 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily the result of the same factors that drove the increase in our net sales over the same time period. Cost of goods sold was 92.4 percent and 93.4 percent of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in gross margin from 6.6 percent to 7.6 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively, was primarily due to the continued growth of our specialty infusion therapeutic category and the impact of WRB as each has higher margins, the receipt and recognition of approximately $1,000 of insurance proceeds during the third quarter of 2017, and the nonrecurrence of a year-to-date adjustment of approximately $4,000 during the third quarter of 2016 to increase previous direct and indirect remuneration (“DIR”) fees estimates that were recorded during the first half of 2016.

 

SG&A

 

SG&A for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $82,995, a $5,857 increase, compared to $77,138 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Total employee cost increased by $4,902, inclusive of $5,188 of employee expense for our recently acquired entities, partially offset by operational efficiencies. Amortization expense from definite-lived intangible assets associated with our acquired entities increased $2,404. Changes in fair values of contingent consideration was $1,965 and $56 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, leading to a period-over-period increase of $1,909. The remaining increase was in various other SG&A including bad

 

27



Table of Contents

 

debt, freight, insurance, professional services, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous expenses. These increases were partially offset by the nonrecurrence of a $4,804 impairment expense recognized during the third quarter of 2016 to fully impair the definite-lived intangible assets associated with Primrose Healthcare, LLC (“Primrose”). As a percent of net sales, SG&A, excluding the changes in fair values of contingent consideration and the Primrose impairment, accounted for 7.2 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 6.1 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in acquisition-related amortization and the increased operating complexity associated with both our acquisitions and new drugs.

 

Other Expense

 

Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $2,009, compared to $1,782 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and is primarily comprised of interest expense. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher average borrowings in the third quarter of 2017.

 

Income Tax Benefit

 

Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $662 and $3,236, respectively. These income tax benefits were primarily due to the recognition of $715 and $3,076 in excess tax benefits during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, as a result of stock option exercises that occurred during those quarters.

Net Sales

 

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $3,330,161, a $64,612 or 2 percent increase, compared to $3,265,549 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily the result of approximately $224,000 of net sales from our recent acquisitions, approximately $201,000 from the impact of manufacturer price increases, approximately $135,000 of net sales from increased volume and mix associated with existing payor contracts and approximately $95,000 from drugs that were new in the past 12 months. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $355,000 due to contracts that were not renewed in 2017, as well as a decrease of approximately $235,000 in hepatitis C drug sales versus the prior year period.

Cost of Products Sold

 

Cost of products sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $3,074,975, a $50,446 or 2 percent increase, compared to $1,921,868 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily the result of the same factors that drove the increase in our net sales over the same time period. Cost of goods sold was 92.3 percent and 92.6 percent of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in gross margin from 7.4 percent to 7.7 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively, was primarily attributable to the continued growth of our specialty infusion therapeutic category, which has a higher margin than our other therapeutic categories.

 

SG&A

 

SG&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $239,487, a $38,739 increase, compared to $200,748 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Total employee cost increased by $17,980, inclusive of $10,090 of employee expense for our recently acquired entities. Changes in fair values of contingent consideration was $1,965 and $(8,922) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, leading to a period-over-period increase of $10,887. Amortization expense from definite-lived intangible assets associated with our acquired entities increased $8,389. The remaining increase was in various other SG&A including bad debt, freight, insurance and other miscellaneous expenses. These increases were partially offset by the nonrecurrence of a $4,804 impairment expense recognized during the third quarter of 2016 to fully impair the definite-lived intangible assets associated with Primrose. As a percent of net sales, SG&A, excluding the changes in fair values of contingent consideration and the Primrose impairment, accounted for 7.1 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 6.3 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in acquisition-related amortization and the increased operating complexity associated with both our acquisitions and new drugs.

 

Other Expense

 

Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $5,922, compared to $4,525 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and is primarily comprised of interest expense. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher average borrowings during 2017.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $1,101 and $9,443, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 11 percent and 26 percent, respectively. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 included the recognition of excess tax benefits as a result of stock option exercises that occurred during those periods, which favorably impacted the year-to-date effective tax rates by 31 percent and 12 percent, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary uses of cash include funding our ongoing working capital needs, business acquisitions, acquiring and maintaining internal use software and property and equipment, and debt service. Our primary source of liquidity for our working capital is cash flows generated from operations. At various times during the course of the year, we may be in an operating cash usage position, which may require us to use our short-term borrowings. We continuously monitor our working capital position and associated cash requirements and explore opportunities to more effectively manage our inventory and capital spending. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $27,152 and $7,953, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. Our cash balances fluctuate based on working capital needs and the timing of sweeping available cash each day to pay down any outstanding balance on our line of credit, which was $21,592 and $39,255 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Our available liquidity under our line of credit was $150,014 and $129,908 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

We believe that funds generated from operations, our cash and cash equivalents on hand, and available borrowing capacity under our line of credit will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We may enhance our competitive position through additional complementary

acquisitions in both existing and new markets. Therefore, from time to time, we may access the equity or debt markets to raise additional funds to finance acquisitions or otherwise on a strategic basis.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Cash flows from operating activities consists of net income, adjusted for non-cash items and changes in various working capital items, including accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and other assets/liabilities.

 

The $62,241 increase in cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was due to a $64,208 change in net working capital flows and a $15,662 increase in non-cash adjustments to net income, partially offset by a $17,629 decrease in net income.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Our primary investing activities have consisted of business acquisitions, labor expenditures associated with capitalized software for internal use, investments in non-consolidated entities, capital expenditures to purchase computer equipment, software, furniture and fixtures, as well as building improvements to support the expansion of our infrastructure and workforce. As our business grows, our capital expenditures and our investment activity may continue to increase.

 

The cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 remained mostly unchanged when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as a $7,474 increase in cash used to acquire businesses was mostly offset by a $8,143 decrease in spending on capitalized software and property and equipment.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Our primary financing activities have consisted of debt borrowings and repayments, payment of debt issuance costs, proceeds from stock option exercises and, historically, proceeds from capital stock offerings and payments made to repurchase capital stock and stock options.

 

The $33,164 decrease in cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily related to a $63,182 change in line of credit activity, partially offset by a full draw down of our $25,000 deferred draw term loan (“DDTL”) during the first quarter of 2017 and a $3,839 increase in proceeds from the issuance of common stock upon stock option exercises.

 

Debt

 

We had $105,750 and $111,000 outstanding on our Term Loan A as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. During the first quarter of 2017, we fully drew down our $25,000 DDTL, of which $24,219 was outstanding as of September 30, 2017. We also had $21,592 and $39,255 outstanding on our line of credit as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We had $150,014 and $129,908 available to borrow on our line of credit at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Our Term Loan A interest rate options are (i) LIBOR (as defined) plus 2.50 percent or (ii) Base Rate (as defined) plus 1.50 percent, and our line of credit and swingline loan interest rate options are (i) LIBOR (as defined) plus 2.00 percent

Table of Contents

 

or (ii) Base Rate (as defined) plus 1.00 percent. The interest rate on our Term Loan A and DDTL was 3.74 percent and 3.13 percent at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Our line of credit interest rate was 5.25 percent and 4.75 percent at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. In addition, we are charged a monthly unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25 percent to 0.50 percent on the average unused daily balance on our $175,000 line of credit.

 

Our credit facility, consisting of the Term Loan A, DDTL, and line of credit, contains certain financial and non-financial covenants. We were in compliance with all such covenants as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

During the periods presented, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The MD&A is based on the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience, internal tracking processes, contract terms and, in some cases, estimation of applicable volume and future performance adjustments, and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results might differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and, to the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and use of estimates, which are disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, with the exception of our adoption of ASU 2017-04. See Note 3 for further details.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 3 for a description of new accounting pronouncements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Our operations are solely in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and U.S. Territories and are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate risk, as well as risks relating to changes in the general economic conditions in the U.S. We are exposed to interest rate fluctuations with regard to future issuances of fixed-rate debt, and existing and future issuances of floating-rate debt. Primary exposures include the U.S. Prime Rate and LIBOR related to debt outstanding under our credit facility. In the past, we used interest rate swaps to reduce the volatility of our financing costs and to achieve a desired proportion of fixed and floating-rate debt. We did not use these interest rate swaps for trading or other speculative purposes. We currently are not using any interest rate swaps, but may in the future. A 100 basis point increase in 2017 interest rates would have decreased our pre-tax income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 by approximately $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Limitations on Controls

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed on March 8, 2017, management had then concluded that there was a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the operating effectiveness of our evaluation and review of recorded inventory balances, and which had not been remediated by the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Specifically, at certain locations the initial costs used to value ending inventories were not correct and we did not initially identify all items necessary to accurately complete our inventory reconciliation.

 

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15(d)-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2017. Based on these evaluations, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 were not effective as of September 30, 2017 as a result of the material weakness discussed above.

 

Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, our management has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly filing fairly represent in all material respects our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and changes in shareholders’ equity as of and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the third quarter of 2017, except as discussed below in “—Remediation Plan”, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Remediation Plan

 

Management is actively implementing a remediation plan to ensure that deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated such that these controls will operate effectively, which includes steps to strengthen our internal processes, data tracking, data reconciliation, inventory costing, estimating, accrual processes, and inventory reconciliation controls. The remediation actions we are taking include: additional testing of the pricing file utilized to cost physical inventory; and strengthening the depth and breadth of review of the inventory reconciliation by senior accounting and finance personnel.

 

We believe that these actions, and the improvements we expect to achieve as a result, will effectively remediate the material weakness. However, until the remediated controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively, the material weakness in our internal

controls over financial reporting will not be considered remediated. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed in fiscal 2017.

OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.                                                LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On November 10, 2016, a putative class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against Diplomat Pharmacy, Inc. and certain officers of the Company. Following appointment of lead plaintiffs and lead counsel, an amended complaint was filed on April 11, 2017. The amended complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with public filings made between February 29, 2016 and November 2, 2016 (the “potential class period”). The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of shareholders who purchased stock in the potential class period. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on May 24, 2017, and the lead plaintiffs filed a response in opposition to the Company’s motion to dismiss on July 10, 2017. A hearing on the motion to dismiss is scheduled for November 30, 2017. The Company believes the complaint and allegations to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the action.

 

On February 10, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) received a demand letter from a purported shareholder containing allegations similar to those contained in the putative class action complaint described above. The letter demanded that the Board take action to remedy the alleged violations. In response, the Board established a Special Independent Committee of its disinterested and independent members to investigate the claims. The Special Independent Committee is continuing to review this matter and has not yet concluded its investigation. Subsequently, on June 2, 2017, the shareholder filed a putative shareholder’s derivative lawsuit in the Michigan Circuit Court for the County of Genesee regarding the same matters alleged in the demand letter. The complaint names the Company as a nominal defendant and names a number of the Company’s current and former officers and directors as defendants. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief. In connection with the ongoing Special Independent Committee investigation, on July 20, 2017, the court ordered a stay of legal proceedings for 90 days. The court has ordered an extension of the stay of legal proceedings until January 8, 2018. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of the litigation would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

 

On April 13, 2017, the Company commenced an arbitration proceeding with CVS Health Corporation f/k/a CVS Caremark Corp., Caremark, LLC, Caremark PCS, LLC, and Silverscript Insurance Company (collectively “Caremark”) before the American Arbitration Association. On November 6, 2017, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with Caremark pursuant to which the Company agreed to dismiss with prejudice the arbitration proceedings. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company and Caremark entered into new direct agreements for the provision of services by the Company to Caremark plan sponsor clients, effective January 1, 2018. The Company received no payment from Caremark in connection with the settlement.

 

The results of legal proceedings are often uncertain and difficult to predict, and the Company could from time to time incur judgments, enter into settlements, materially change its business practices or technologies or revise its expectations regarding the outcome of certain matters. In addition, the costs incurred in litigation can be substantial, regardless of the outcome.

 

The Company’s business of providing specialized pharmacy services and other related services may subject it to litigation and liability for damages in the ordinary course of business. Nevertheless, the Company believes there are no other legal proceedings, the outcome of which, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
