Medco Reports Third Quarter Earnings, Including Record Revenues of $9.3 Billion
Company expects 22 to 30 Percent GAAP Diluted EPS Growth in 2006,
When Estimated Stock Option Expense is Included for ‘05 and ‘06
FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., Nov. 1, 2005– Medco Health Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MHS) today announced $156.7 million in net income for the third quarter of 2005, a 32.7 percent increase over the $118.1 million in the third quarter of 2004, and GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.53. Diluted earnings per share, excluding $0.09 per share in amortization of intangible assets that existed when Medco became a publicly traded enterprise in 2003, reached $0.62 in the quarter.
Net income for the third quarter includes the positive effect of a non-recurring income tax benefit of $25.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, partially offset by $4.4 million in Medicare-related expenses. The results of Accredo Health were dilutive to third quarter earnings by $0.01 per share.
The company continued to generate strong cash flows from operations, totaling more than $900 million for the nine months ending Sept. 24, 2005, an increase of nearly $400 million from $509.8 million for the same period in 2004.
“We are growing our revenue base, having won over $3 billion in new clients based on annualized 2005 net revenues, and we have already won an additional $1.4 billion in annualized new business for 2006,” said David B. Snow Jr., Medco chairman, president and CEO. “We have created significant momentum for both sales and earnings growth this year, and we are carrying this momentum into 2006 through the additions to our top line, synergies from our acquisition of Accredo, margin expansion from our new Medicare offerings and opportunities created by a number of new generics expected to be introduced in the second half of the year.”
Medco’s 2005 and 2006 new client wins translate into $300 million in net-new sales, to-date, for 2006, factoring in client losses and changes in existing business. Additionally, Medco’s record-setting renewal rate over the past two years, representing more than 85 percent of its total book of business, has significantly reduced business scheduled for renewal in 2006.
“Along with our efforts to demonstrably enhance our top line, we continue to execute on our strategy to grow and innovate beyond our core business. During the third quarter, we completed our acquisition of Accredo, creating the nation’s largest specialty pharmacy operation,” said Snow. The completion of the Accredo acquisition on Aug. 18, 2005 created within Medco a specialty pharmacy business with more than $4.5 billion in annual revenues in a segment regarded as the fastest-growing in pharmacy healthcare. The specialty pharmacy industry is expected to double to $73 billion by 2008, representing 26 percent of the total pharmaceutical market, according to industry reports.
In addition, Medco is well-positioned to participate in the Medicare Part D program commencing on Jan. 1, 2006. “We are one of 10 national providers to receive approval from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to offer a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan to the market of more than 42 million Medicare beneficiaries, and we have been approved to be auto-assigned dual-eligible members in 19 out of the total 34 regions,” added Snow.
“The increase in generic drug use is also fundamental to our growth beginning in the second half of 2006 and continuing over the next five years. During that time, patents on more than $45 billion in brand-name drugs are expected to expire. Generic drugs provide significant cost savings to our clients and their members, and also contribute to Medco’s profitability,” added Snow. In the third quarter of 2005, generic dispensing rates increased nearly 5 points to 51.5 percent from 46.8 percent in the third quarter of 2004.
Financial and Operational Results
During the third quarter, Medco reported net revenues of $9.3 billion, an increase of 7.2 percent compared to $8.7 billion in the third quarter of 2004. These revenues include approximately $150 million of Accredo net revenues, which represented the last five weeks of the quarter.
The increase in revenues primarily reflects volume from new clients and higher prices charged by pharmaceutical manufacturers on brand-name drugs, partially offset by a 7.9 percent reduction from previously announced customer losses, a greater representation of lower cost generic drugs and steeper client discounts, including an increase in rebates passed back to clients. Higher generic dispensing rates resulted in a reduction of more than $430 million in net revenues in the third quarter of 2005 from the prior year.
Net income in the third quarter increased 32.7 percent to $156.7 million as a result of the aforementioned non-recurring tax benefit, new client wins, and higher gross margin of 5.0 percent, an increase from 4.9 percent in the third quarter of 2004. Gross margin benefited from the addition of Accredo’s higher margin business, service margin improvements, and the significant growth in generic use, offset by steeper client discounts and a decline in mail prescriptions as a percentage of total prescription volume.
Service margin increased to 77.6 percent, up from 60.4 percent in the third quarter of 2004, as a result of higher service revenues from clients primarily related to clinical programs and formulary management review fees, and lower program costs resulting from the termination of a pharmaceutical manufacturer patient assistance program.
Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.53, up 23.3 percent from the third quarter of 2004. During the same period the weighted average diluted share count increased 22.3 million shares to
296.5 million shares. This increase reflects approximately 24 million shares issued in August to Accredo shareholders and stock option-related activity, partially offset by 1.4 million shares repurchased in the share repurchase program.
Total prescription volume in the third quarter of 2005, adjusted for the difference in days supply between mail and retail, increased to 173.4 million from 165.9 million in the third quarter of 2004 as a result of higher retail volume. Retail prescription volume increased 10.0 percent in the quarter to 109.2 million, including the effect of new clients.
Medco dispensed 21.4 million prescriptions through its mail order pharmacies in the third quarter, down from 22.2 million prescriptions in the third quarter of 2004, and adjusted mail prescriptions as a percentage of total prescriptions declined to 37.0 percent from 40.1 percent in the same period in 2004. Both declines were primarily a result of the loss of the Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan in December 2004. Medco continues to anticipate total mail order volume of approximately 86 million prescriptions for the full-year 2005. (Please see Table 5 for a calculation of adjusted prescription volume.)
Interest and other (income) expense, net, decreased 15.9 percent to $10.6 million in the third quarter primarily reflecting higher interest income from increased cash balances and higher interest rates. Third quarter 2005 interest expense included $1.7 million related to the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs resulting from the new debt and refinancing associated with the Accredo acquisition. Total debt amounted to approximately $1.7 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2005 compared to $1.3 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2004. Medco closed the quarter with $1.3 billion of cash on its balance sheet. After the third quarter, Medco paid down $100 million in debt and anticipates accelerating the pay down of an additional $100 million of debt before the end of the year.
Medco’s income tax expense reflects a $25.7 million benefit for the quarter related to non-recurring adjustments to Medco’s net deferred tax liabilities associated with an enacted change in a state income tax law and the receipt of a favorable state income tax ruling.
EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest Income/Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) for the quarter was $317.1 million, an increase of $16.5 million, or 5.5 percent, compared to the same period last year. EBITDA per adjusted prescription in the quarter increased to $1.83 compared to $1.81 in the third quarter of 2004, despite the increase in retail prescriptions as a percentage of total prescriptions. (Please refer to Table 5 for a reconciliation of EBITDA to reported net income.)
On a year-to-date basis, net revenues were $27.1 billion, a 2.4 percent increase over the same period in 2004. Net income was $425.3 million year-to-date, a 21.9 percent increase over the same period in 2004, and diluted earnings per share were $1.48, a 16.5 percent increase over the same period in 2004.
Year-to-date results in 2005 include the aforementioned non-recurring income tax benefit of $25.7 million. Results for 2004 year-to-date include a one-time $16 million operating tax benefit recorded within selling, general and administrative expense during the second quarter of 2004; $27 million in costs associated primarily with the realignment of pharmacy operations recorded in cost of revenues; and $21 million in expenses associated with the multistate taskforce of attorneys general settlement, recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Specialty Pharmacy Segment
Medco’s specialty pharmacy segment consists of the financial results of Accredo and Medco’s pre-existing specialty pharmacy operation for the last 5 weeks of the quarter. Reported net revenues for this segment were $447.6 million, with net income before interest and taxes, including $3.1 million in intangible asset amortization, amounting to $16.8 million.
“Following the completion of the Accredo acquisition, our integration efforts are focused on preparing the nation’s largest specialty pharmacy operation for expanded sales growth,” stated Snow. “We’re solidifying a product platform that is designed to leverage the best of both companies for our clients today, and one that will provide unmatched service in the specialty pharmacy marketplace for the future.”
Share Repurchase
On August 22, Medco announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $500 million of the company’s common stock in the open market over the next two years. During the third quarter of 2005, the company repurchased 1,412,500 shares at an approximate total cost of $69.1 million. The Board of Directors periodically reviews the program and approves trading parameters.
2005 Double-Digit Earnings Growth; Expansion and Growth in 2006
“Our performance in improving sales, achieving record levels of retention, and expansion into Medicare and Specialty Pharmacy makes us confident that we will achieve our objective of recording double-digit earnings growth in 2005 and to achieve continued strong growth in 2006,” said Snow.
GAAP diluted earnings per share in 2006 are anticipated to grow 22 to 30 percent over 2005 earnings had an estimated $104.3 million in pre-tax, or $0.22 per share after-tax, in stock option expense been recorded in Medco’s 2005 results. Medco will implement new stock option accounting rules in 2006 under Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R – “Share Based Payment,” and expects to record stock option expense of approximately $0.12 to $0.16 per share in 2006. The 2005 earnings used in the growth calculation reflect stock option expense using the same methodology in order to provide a consistent year-over-year comparison.
Medco updated its previously stated guidance for 2005 to include an anticipated $0.05 per share in dilution from the acquisition of Accredo. Diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis are expected to be in the range of $1.99 to $2.01, representing a 14 percent to 15 percent increase over 2004. Excluding approximately $0.39 per share in amortization of intangible assets, the company expects earnings per share to be in the range of $2.38 to $2.40. (Please see Table 6 for a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share to earnings per share excluding amortization of intangible assets that existed when Medco became a publicly traded enterprise in 2003.)
“Our expected net income growth in 2006 is driven by the addition of $300 million in net-new sales to our top line, to-date, continued strong sales and earnings gains from our Accredo acquisition, and margin expansion from our new Medicare offerings and opportunities created by the patent expirations on $9 billion of brand-name drugs anticipated in the marketplace in 2006,” said Snow.
Diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis for the full-year 2006 are projected to be in the range of $2.18 to $2.30. These estimates include $0.12 to $0.16 per share in option expense associated with the company’s implementation of FAS 123R on January 1, 2006, $0.03 per share in incremental year-over-year restricted stock unit expense, $0.05 to $0.08 per share in accretion from the Accredo acquisition including approximately $37 million in incremental intangible asset amortization, a 39.5 percent tax rate, and an estimated 313 million to 318 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share excluding approximately $0.34 per share in amortization of intangible assets that existed when Medco became a publicly traded enterprise in 2003 are projected to be in the range of $2.52 to $2.64. (Please see Table 6 for a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share to earnings per share excluding amortization of intangible assets.)
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The company calculates and uses EBITDA and EBITDA per adjusted prescription as indicators of its ability to generate cash from reported operating results. These measurements are used in concert with net income and cash flows from operations, which measure actual cash generated in the period. In addition, the company believes that EBITDA and EBITDA per adjusted prescription 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. EBITDA does not represent funds available for the company’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 EBITDA but included in the calculation of the company’s reported net income are significant components of the consolidated statements of income, and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance. EBITDA, and the associated year-to-year trends, should not be considered in isolation. Medco’s calculation of EBITDA may not be consistent with calculations of EBITDA used by other companies.
EBITDA per adjusted prescription is calculated by dividing EBITDA by the adjusted prescription volume for the period. This measure is used as an indicator of our EBITDA performance on a per-unit basis, providing insight into the cash-generating potential of each prescription. EBITDA per adjusted prescription reflects the level of efficiency in the business model and is affected by changes in prescription volumes between retail and mail, as well as the relative representation of brand-name, generic and specialty drugs.
Medco uses earnings per share excluding intangible asset amortization expense as a supplemental measure of operating performance. The excluded amortization is associated with intangible assets that substantially arose in connection with the acquisition of Medco by Merck & Co., Inc. in 1993 that were pushed down to Medco’s balance sheet. The company believes that earnings per share, excluding the amortization of these intangibles, is a useful measure because of the significance of this non-cash item and to enhance comparability with its peers. The intangible asset amortization resulting from Medco’s acquisition of Accredo in August 2005 is not part of the excluded amortization in this calculation, as such stems from a Medco investment decision.

(1) | For 2005, this includes a $1.7 million write-off in the third quarter associated with the debt refinancing for the Accredo acquisition and $0.7 million in the first quarter associated with accelerated term loan payments. For 2004, this includes a write-off of deferred debt issuance costs amounting to $5.5 million in the first quarter associated with the debt refinancing. |
(2) | Includes a $25.7 million non-recurring tax benefit recorded in the third quarter of 2005 related to adjustments to Medco’s net deferred tax liabilities associated with an enacted change in a state income tax law and the receipt of a favorable state income tax ruling. |
(3) | Estimated adjusted prescription volume equals the majority of mail order prescriptions multiplied by 3, plus retail prescriptions. These mail order prescriptions are multiplied by 3 to adjust for the fact that mail order prescriptions include approximately 3 times the amount of product days supplied compared with retail prescriptions. |
