AmerisourceBergen Corporation (NYSE:ABC) today reported that in its fiscal year 2008 second quarter ended March 31, 2008, diluted earnings per share were a record $0.82, up 21 percent, and total revenue increased 8 percent to $17.8 billion, also a record.
AmerisourceBergen also announced that it has terminated the sale process for PMSI, its market-leading workers’ compensation business, and is turning its attention to profit improvement initiatives to increase PMSI’s performance. In discontinuing the sale process, the Company said that the final bids did not reflect the fair value of the business.
Fiscal Second Quarter Highlights
- Record total revenue of $17.8 billion, up 8 percent.
- Record diluted earnings per share of $0.82, a 21 percent increase.
- Pharmaceutical Distribution operating margin (based on total revenue) of 1.34 percent, up 9 basis points.
- Cash flow from operations of $193 million.
Fiscal First Six Months Highlights
- Record total revenue of $35.2 billion, up 6 percent.
- Record diluted earnings per share of $1.48, a 14 percent increase.
- Pharmaceutical Distribution operating margin (based on total revenue) of 1.23 percent, up 2 basis points.
- Cash flow from operations of $92 million.
- $395 million in share repurchases.
“Our record-setting March quarter results were driven by outstanding performance in our core distribution businesses due to excellent revenue growth, solid expense management, strong price appreciation and increased generic contributions,” said R. David Yost, AmerisourceBergen’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This record performance was achieved despite the weaker performance in our Other Segment. Our working capital management remains excellent, and our balance sheet continues to be strong.”
Commenting on the terminated sale process for PMSI, Yost said, “Because the final bids did not reflect the turnaround value of the business, which we expect to capture, we will focus on significantly improving the business and delivering that value to shareholders. We expect PMSI to improve in the second half of this fiscal year and deliver significant improvement in fiscal year 2009. In the future, we believe this business can be a strong, long-term contributor to shareholder value as part of AmerisourceBergen.”
Consolidated Results
- The Company will now report revenue expectations and calculate gross, expense and operating margins based on total revenue instead of operating revenue. Due to a recently completed new contract with an existing large institutional customer, a majority of that customer’s bulk delivery business is now being serviced on an operating basis. As a result, the remaining annualized bulk revenue of approximately $1.8 billion is not significant relative to total revenue. The Company will continue to break out both bulk deliveries and operating revenue in its financial tables.
- Total revenue was $17.8 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $16.5 billion for the same period last year, an 8 percent increase. The increase was driven by a 9 percent increase in the Pharmaceutical Distribution Segment, which was slightly offset by a decrease in total revenue in the Other Segment.
- Consolidated operating income in the fiscal 2008 second quarter increased 7 percent to $236.7 million from $220.9 million in the previous fiscal year’s second quarter, due to the 16 percent increase in operating income in the Pharmaceutical Distribution Segment, which was partially offset by a decline in the Other Segment. Special charges, primarily for the expense of the PMSI sale process, in the fiscal year 2008’s second quarter had a $1.4 million negative impact on consolidated operating income. In the previous fiscal year’s second quarter, special items had a net positive impact of $1.6 million.
- The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was 38.9 percent, compared to 38.5 percent in the previous fiscal year’s second quarter. The Company expects its annualized effective tax rate to be slightly above 38 percent for fiscal year 2008.
- Diluted earnings per share were up 21 percent to $0.82 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $0.68 in the previous fiscal year’s second quarter.
- In the fiscal 2007 second quarter, the PharMerica Long-Term Care business, spun-off in July 2007, benefited that quarter by $0.03 per diluted share. Excluding the impact of Long-Term Care in fiscal 2007, AmerisourceBergen’s diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 would have increased 26 percent.
- Average diluted shares outstanding for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 were 163.3 million, down nearly 29 million shares from the previous fiscal year’s second quarter due to share repurchases, net of option exercises.
- In the first six months of fiscal 2008, total revenue was $35.2 billion, a 6 percent increase over the $33.2 billion in total revenue in the previous fiscal year’s first six months, and consolidated operating income was $431.7 million and $429.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the first six months of fiscal 2008 diluted earnings per share were $1.48 compared to $1.30 for the same period of the previous fiscal year, a 14 percent increase. In the first six months of fiscal 2007, diluted earnings per share were reduced by $0.03 due to the net impact of special items. In the same six-month period, the PharMerica Long-Term Care business added $0.06 to diluted earnings per share.
AmerisourceBergen consists of the following two reportable segments: Pharmaceutical Distribution (which includes the operations of AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation, Specialty Group, Packaging Group and Bellco Health) and Other (which includes PharMerica Long-Term Care, through July 31, 2007, and PMSI). Intersegment sales of $14.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation to PMSI, which are included in the Pharmaceutical Distribution Segment total revenue, are eliminated for consolidated reporting purposes.
Pharmaceutical Distribution Segment Results
- Total revenue of $17.8 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was up 9 percent compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, due to an 8 percent increase in AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation revenue, primarily from its institutional customers, and a 3 percent contribution from Bellco Health, which was acquired at the beginning of the fiscal year. Specialty Group total revenue was essentially flat, because of the expected impact from lower anemia drug sales and lost sales from the acquisition of a large Specialty Group customer by a competitor in November 2007.
- Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue increased 5 basis points to 3.03 percent in the fiscal 2008 second quarter over the same period in the previous year driven by strong price appreciation in branded pharmaceuticals and increased contribution from generic drugs. The LIFO charge in the fiscal 2008 second quarter was $9.6 million compared with a $1.6 million charge in the previous year’s second quarter, reflecting the branded price increases.
- Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue in the fiscal second quarter of 2008 were 1.69 percent down 4 basis points from the same period in the previous fiscal year, due to lower operating expenses in Drug Corporation despite an 8 percent increase in revenue.
- Operating income increased a robust 16 percent in the fiscal 2008 second quarter compared with the previous year’s second quarter due to excellent revenue growth, improved gross profit and solid expense management. As a percentage of total revenue, the operating margin in the fiscal 2008 second quarter was 1.34 percent, a 9 basis point increase over the same period in the previous fiscal year.
Other Segment Results
- In the fiscal 2008 second quarter, PMSI contributed $105.4 million in revenue and $783,000 of operating income compared to $114.6 million and $8.6 million, respectively, in the previous fiscal year’s second quarter. The decline in operating income in the fiscal 2008 second quarter was due to customer losses, reductions in reimbursement and a significant increase in operating expenses related to ongoing information technology infrastructure and customer-facing projects. In the second quarter of 2007, the segment also included PharMerica Long-Term Care, which contributed revenue of $316.8 million and operating income of $6.8 million.
- While the Company expects improvement in PMSI’s performance in the second half of fiscal 2008 and substantial improvement in fiscal 2009, operating margins for PMSI are now expected to be in the 2 percent to 3 percent range for fiscal year 2008, down from the previous expectations of 5 percent to 6 percent.
Fiscal Year 2008 Expectations
“Though remaining within our original range, we are narrowing our expectations for fiscal year 2008 diluted earnings per share to a range of $2.77 to $2.87 from the previous range of $2.77 to $2.95, due primarily to the expected weaker performance of PMSI, as well as the impact from lower sales of anemia drugs in the Specialty Group and the slowing growth of the overall pharmaceutical market,” said Yost. “This diluted earnings per share range represents an increase of about 13 percent to 17 percent over the $2.46 per share from continuing operations for fiscal year 2007, which continues to exclude the $0.09 benefit from special items and the $0.08 contribution from PharMerica Long-Term Care in fiscal year 2007.
“We are increasing our expectations for the repurchase of our common shares in fiscal year 2008. In the first half of fiscal 2008, we repurchased $395 million of our shares and now expect to use a substantial amount of the $302 million remaining in our current share repurchase authorization during the remainder of this fiscal year. As a result, we anticipate exceeding our previous expectation of repurchasing $400 million to $500 million of our shares in fiscal year 2008. We continue to expect free cash flow for fiscal year 2008 in the range of $450 million to $525 million, which includes capital expenditures in the $125 million range.
“Despite the change from operating revenue to total revenue guidance, we are retaining our key revenue and margin assumptions supporting our diluted earnings per share expectations in fiscal year 2008: Total revenue growth assumptions remain in the range of 7 percent to 9 percent, primarily due to the expected growth of our largest institutional customers; and we continue to expect operating margin expansion in the Pharmaceutical Distribution Segment will be in the low single-digit basis points range.”
Fiscal Year 2009 Preview
Looking ahead to fiscal year 2009, Yost commented, “We have yet to start our detailed planning process for fiscal year 2009. However, in light of recently reduced pharmaceutical market growth predictions, I want to provide some perspective on our next fiscal year. If pharmaceutical market growth is in the 2 percent to 3 percent range, we see a clear path to low double-digit diluted earnings per share growth in fiscal year 2009 through operating margin expansion and strong cash generation. As in the past, we expect to announce our diluted earnings per share expectations for fiscal year 2009 when we release our fiscal 2008 results, currently scheduled for October 30, 2008.”
