Results of Operation
First Quarter 2011 versus First Quarter 2010
Revenue for the first quarter of 2011 totaled $439.3 million, compared to $335.1 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of $104.2 million or 31.1%, primarily as a result of the CHS acquisition. Infusion/Home Health Services revenue for the first quarter of 2011 was $110.5 million compared to $46.1 million in the prior year, an increase of $64.4 million or 139.6%. CHS revenue contributed an incremental $63.3 million during the first quarter of 2011. Excluding CHS revenue, Infusion/Home Health Services revenue increased 2.4% or $1.1 million. Pharmacy Services revenue for the first quarter of 2011 was $328.8 million, compared to $289.0 million for the prior year period, an increase of $39.9 million or 13.8%.
Consolidated gross profit for the first quarter of 2011 was $77.3 million, or 17.6% of revenue, compared to $38.9 million, or 11.6% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2010. The increase in gross profit percentage from 2010 to 2011 was primarily the result of the CHS acquisition and purchasing synergies generated post-acquisition, as well as our continued focus on revenue mix, which contributed positively to gross margin improvement.
First quarter 2011 operating income was $10.4 million, compared to an operating loss of $6.3 million for the first quarter of 2010.
During the first quarter of 2011, BioScrip generated $25.1 million of segment Adjusted EBITDA, or 5.7% of total revenue, compared to $10.8 million, or 3.2% of total revenue in the prior year. The Infusion/Home Health segment generated $11.5 million of Adjusted EBITDA, or 10.4% of segment revenue. This compares to $2.9 million, or 6.2% of segment revenue in the prior year. The Pharmacy Services segment generated $13.7 million of segment Adjusted EBITDA, or 4.2% of segment revenue. This compares to $8.0 million, or 2.8% of segment revenue in the prior year.
On a consolidated basis, BioScrip reported $16.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA during the first quarter of 2011, or 3.8% of total revenue, compared to $2.7 million, or 0.8% of total revenue, in the prior year.
Interest expense in the first quarter of 2011 was $7.3 million, compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2010. The increase reflects a full quarter of interest on the debt structure which financed the CHS acquisition.
Net income for the first quarter of 2011 was $2.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7.2 million, or $0.18 per basic share, in the prior year period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2011, BioScrip had working capital of $55.5 million compared to $50.1 million at December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in the current portion of long-term debt, as working capital needs were funded by cash provided by operating activities. Cash expected to be provided by operating activities, along with funds available under the $150.0 million revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to fund working capital, information technology investments, scheduled interest repayments and other cash needs for at least the next twelve months.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility of $52.4 million compared to $81.2 million as of December 31, 2010.
