BIOSCRIP, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS OF $0.11 PER SHARE
ELMSFORD, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)—July 30, 2009—BioScrip, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOS) today announced second quarter net income of $4.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, on revenues of $328.7 million. These results compare to net income of $1.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, on revenues of $348.4 million for the second quarter of 2008. Second quarter 2009 EBITDAO was $7.0 million compared to $5.9 million for the same period a year ago.
Richard H. Friedman, BioScrip’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased with our overall performance. These results reflect the successful execution of our strategy to deliver improved operating margins. The strength of our outcomes-based management and clinical programs positions BioScrip well for the future.”
Results of Operations
Revenue for the second quarter of 2009 totaled $328.7 million compared to $348.4 million for the same period a year ago. Excluding the impact of the terminated Medicare Competitive Acquisition Program (“CAP”) and the United Health Group (“UHG”) organ transplant and HIV/AIDS contracts, second quarter 2009 revenues grew 8.0% over the comparable period in 2008. The increase was due primarily to a greater number of patients served within the Company’s oncology, multiple sclerosis and immunology therapies.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2009 was $38.4 million, compared to $35.7 million for the second quarter of 2008. Reported second quarter 2009 gross margin was 11.7%, compared to 10.3% for the second quarter of 2008. The increase in gross margin in the second quarter of 2009 was the result of improved product mix, the elimination of lower margin business and improved purchasing. Excluding the impact of the terminated contracts, the gross margin for the second quarter of 2008 was 11.3%.
Second quarter 2009 operating profit was $5.2 million compared to $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2008. This increase was primarily due to improved product mix, cost containment efforts relating to fixed expenses, offset by higher variable costs, and a return to normalized bad debt expense.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $654.5 million compared to $675.9 million for the comparable period a year ago. Excluding the impact of the terminated contracts, second quarter 2009 revenues grew 7.2% over the comparable period in 2008. The increase was due primarily to a greater number of patients served within the Company’s oncology, multiple sclerosis and immunology therapies.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $74.4 million compared to $68.1 million for the second quarter of 2008. Six month reported 2009 gross margin was 11.4%, compared to 10.1% for the comparable period of 2008. The increase in gross margin for the year was the result of improved product mix, the elimination of lower margin business and improved purchasing. Excluding the impact of the terminated contracts, the gross margin for the six month period of 2009 and 2008 was 11.5% and 11.1%, respectively.
Operating profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $9.5 million compared to $3.6 million for the comparable period of 2008. This increase was primarily due to improved product mix, cost containment efforts relating to fixed expenses, partially offset by higher variable costs and a return to a normalized bad debt expense.
