Exhibit 99.1
BioScrip, Inc. Reports EPS of $0.06 for Fourth Quarter 2007; EPS of $0.09 for 2007; Twelve Months’ Operating Income Improves by $25.1 Million
ELMSFORD, N.Y.—(BUSINESS WIRE)- March 4, 2008—BioScrip, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOS) today reported fourth quarter 2007 net income of $2.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, on revenues of $309.2 million. Fourth quarter EBITDAO (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and option expense) was $5.9 million. Full year 2007 net income was $3.3 million or $0.09 per diluted share on revenues of $1.2 billion. EBITDAO for the full year was $18.9 million.
Chairman and CEO, Richard H. Friedman, stated, “BioScrip’s fourth quarter results are indicative of the successful execution of our strategic initiatives. Our focus on a service driven approach to specialty pharmacy management is resulting in positive outcomes for our customers. This service model is being accepted in the market and differentiates BioScrip from commoditized specialty drug distribution.”
Fourth Quarter Reported Results
Total revenue for the fourth quarter 2007 increased 5.9% to $309.2 million compared to $292.1 million for the same period a year ago. Net income increased $30.6 million to $2.5 million or $0.81 per diluted share. In the fourth quarter of 2006, BioScrip established a non-cash reserve of $25.7 million against its deferred tax assets primarily associated with its net operating loss carry forwards (“NOL”).
Fourth quarter 2007 Specialty Services revenue increased 10.4% to $256.7 million, an increase of $24.2 million over the prior year, primarily due to additional revenues associated with preferred drug distribution arrangements with manufacturers, specialty contracts with payors and Medicare’s Competitive Acquisition Program (“CAP”). As a result of previously reported losses of certain PBM customers, fourth quarter 2007 PBM Services revenue decreased $7.1 million to $52.5 million as compared to the fourth quarter 2006.
Fourth quarter 2007 operating income increased $5.5 million to $3.1 million compared to an operating loss of $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. The increase is primarily due to higher sales, improved drug acquisition costs, lower bad debt and lower amortization expense partially offset by an increase in employee incentives resulting from the Company’s improved performance.
Year End 2007 Period Results
For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2007, net income was $3.3 million, or $0.09 per share compared to a net loss of $38.3 million, or $1.03 per share for the same period a year ago. The 2006 financial results include a non-cash reserve associated with the Company’s deferred tax assets discussed above. Revenues for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2007 totaled $1,197.7 million compared to $1,151.9 million in 2006. The improvement includes an increase in Specialty Services revenue of $107.6
million or 12.4% to $974.2 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2007. Partially offsetting the Specialty Services increase was the previously reported loss of significant PBM customers totaling $61.8 million.
Operating income for the full year 2007 increased $25.1 million to $8.9 million as compared to an operating loss of $16.2 million for the full year of 2006. The increase is primarily due to higher sales, improved drug acquisition costs, lower bad debt and lower amortization expense. These improvements were partially offset by an increase in employee incentives resulting from the Company’s improved performance.
