PharMerica Reports Results for the Third Quarter of 2010 and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
Company Updates 2010 Earnings Guidance
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov 04, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- --Company Announces the Acquisition of Chem Rx PharMerica Corporation (NYSE: PMC), a national provider of institutional pharmacy and hospital pharmacy management services, today reported the financial results of its third quarter of 2010 and nine months ended September 30, 2010, and the completion of its acquisition of Chem Rx.
PharMerica closed on the acquisition of Chem Rx today. Chem Rx was the third largest long-term care pharmacy company in the United States and conducts business in New York State, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Chem Rx has been in business for over 40 years and provides prescription and non-prescription drugs, intravenous medications, durable medical equipment items and surgical supplies to approximately 60,000 patients.
Commenting on the acquisition, Gregory S. Weishar, PharMerica Corporation's Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with the acquisition of Chem Rx, which drives business scale and allows us to expand into the large New York and New Jersey markets. We believe this acquisition will create long-term shareholder value. Chem Rx brings over four decades of experience in the New York marketplace. Combined with PharMerica's existing scale and financial stability, Chem Rx is well positioned to continue to provide excellent service to our customers. Chem Rx will operate as a separate subsidiary, and we look forward to partnering with Jerry Silva and his management team.
"With regards to this quarter's results, gross profit margins showed signs of stabilization, demonstrating progress on management initiatives aimed at improving profitability and service levels. Cash flow continues to be strong. Although we see challenges going forward, we are confident we can manage through the ongoing industry margin and competitive pressures and remain bullish on the long-term strength of the business."
During the quarter, the Company repurchased $10.5 million of its common stock pursuant to the stock purchase program previously announced by the Company. There remains $14.5 million authorized under the program.
The 2010 updated guidance reflects the actual results through September 30, 2010, with the inclusion of Chem Rx from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2010. The Company has increased revenues to a range of $1,839.0 million to $1,855.0 million from $1,765.0 million to $1,810.0 million. In addition, both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings per diluted share reflect a narrowing of the range. Adjusted EBITDA's range changed to $75.0 million to $78.2 million from $73.0 million to $80.0 million. The Adjusted Earnings per diluted share range changed to $0.84 to $0.91 from $0.78 to $0.95.
The results for the third quarter along with our updated guidance are set forth below:
Key Comparisons of Third Quarters Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009: Net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $4.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $14.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, including a $4.5 million favorable income tax adjustment, or $0.15 per diluted share.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.73 compared with $0.97 in the prior year. Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities was $68.8 million compared to $59.6 million in the prior year.

PHARMERICA CORPORATION SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (Continued)
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. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Company's Credit Agreement, is used in conjunction with PharMerica's debt leverage ratio and this calculation sets the applicable margin for the quarterly interest charge. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Company's 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 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 earnings per diluted share, exclusive of the impact of integration, merger and acquisition related costs and other charges and the impact of the tax rate, as an indicator of its core operating results. The measurement is used in concert with net income and earnings per diluted share, which measure actual earnings per share generated in the period. PharMerica believes the exclusion of these charges in expressing adjusted 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 earnings per diluted share, exclusive of the impact of integration, merger and acquisition related costs and other charges and the impact of the favorable tax rate, does 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 earnings per diluted share as measured under GAAP. The impact of integration, merger and acquisition related costs and other charges and the impact of the favorable tax rate excluded from the earnings per diluted 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.
