PHARMERICA REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2017 RESULTS
PharMerica Stockholders Approve Merger at Special Meeting;
Transaction On-Track to Close by Early 2018
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (November 9, 2017) – PharMerica Corporation (NYSE: PMC), a national provider of institutional, specialty home infusion, hospital and oncology pharmacy services, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.
Third Quarter 2017 Results
The results for the third quarter of 2017 are set forth below:
| Ø | Key Comparisons of Third Quarters Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016: |
| · | Revenues for the third quarter of 2017 were $595.1 million compared with $512.6 million for the third quarter of 2016; an increase of 16.1%. The increase in revenues of $82.5 million was driven by the 2016 and 2017 acquisitions, organic growth in the Company’s diversified businesses, partially offset by the loss of volume in the long-term care pharmacy business. |
| · | Gross profit for the third quarter of 2017 was $89.3 million compared with $78.5 million in the third quarter of 2016; an increase of 13.8%. The increase in gross profit was due to improved purchasing strategies along with higher gross profit associated with the Company’s diversified businesses due to organic growth and recent acquisitions, partially offset by lower prescription volume in the long-term care pharmacy business. |
| · | Selling, general and administrative expenses were $62.2 million or 10.5% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $53.1 million or 10.4% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016. |
| · | Net income for the third quarter of 2017 was $3.2 million, or $0.10 diluted earnings per share, compared to $7.3 million, or $0.23 diluted earnings per share, for the same period in 2016. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.46 in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $0.44 in the third quarter of 2016. |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2017 was $33.7 million compared with $31.5 million in the third quarter of 2016; an increase of 7.0%. |
| · | Cash flows provided by operating activities for the third quarter of 2017 were $18.0 million compared with cash flows provided by operating activities of $39.1 million in the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in cash from operating activities was due primarily to inventory level fluctuations and the timing of accounts payable disbursements. |

| · | During the third quarter of 2017 the Company made two acquisitions of long-term care pharmacies as well as an acquisition of a home infusion business for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $42.8 million. |
Key Comparisons of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:
| · | Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $1,753.9 million compared with $1,556.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016; an increase of 12.7%. The increase was driven by the 2016 and 2017 acquisitions, as well as organic growth in the Company’s diversified businesses and branded drug inflation, partially offset by a reduction in prescription volume in the long-term care pharmacy business. |
| · | Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $266.7 million compared with $242.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016; an increase of 10.1%. The increase in gross profit was due to improved purchasing strategies along with higher gross profit associated with the Company’s diversified businesses as a result of organic growth and recent acquisitions, partially offset by lower prescription volume in the long-term care pharmacy business. |
| · | Selling, general and administrative expenses were $187.4 million or 10.7% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $165.8 million or 10.7% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. |
| · | Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $11.4 million, or $0.36 diluted earnings per share, compared to $13.9 million, or $0.44 diluted earnings per share, for the same period in 2016. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.35 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1.36 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $99.6 million compared with $93.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016; an increase of 6.4%. |
| · | Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $132.7 million compared with $80.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in cash from operating activities was due primarily to greater inventory reductions in 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. |
Acquisition by KKR and Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc.
As previously announced on August 2, 2017, PharMerica has entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which a newly formed company controlled by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”), with Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. as a minority investor, will acquire PharMerica. The all-cash transaction is valued at approximately $1.4 billion including the assumption or repayment of debt.
At a special meeting of PharMerica Corporation’s stockholders held earlier today, stockholders voted upon and approved the adoption of the Merger Agreement. The transaction is expected to be completed by early 2018, at which time PharMerica will become a private company. PharMerica cannot predict with certainty when, or if, the transaction will be completed because its completion is subject to conditions beyond the control of the Company.
In light of the agreement with KKR and Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., PharMerica does not intend to hold earnings conference calls during the pendency of the transaction.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
PharMerica calculates Adjusted EBITDA as provided in the reconciliation above and calculates Adjusted EBITDA Margin by taking Adjusted EBITDA and dividing it by revenues. PharMerica calculates and uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure. The measurement is used in concert with net income and cash flows from operations, which measure actual cash generated in the period. In addition, PharMerica believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is used in conjunction with the Corporation’s debt leverage ratio and this calculation sets the applicable margin for the quarterly interest charge. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is not the same calculation as these unaudited reconciliation tables. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for PharMerica’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 Adjusted EBITDA but included in the calculation of PharMerica’s reported net income and cash flows from operations are significant components of the accompanying consolidated income statements and cash flows and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance. PharMerica’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with calculations of EBITDA used by other companies.

PharMerica calculates and uses adjusted diluted earnings per share, exclusive of the impact of merger, acquisition, integration costs and other charges, settlement, litigation and other related charges, restructuring and impairment charges, amortization of intangible assets, and the tax impact of the adjustments on the tax provision as an indicator of its core operating results. The measurement is used in concert with net income and diluted earnings per share, which measure actual earnings per share generated in the period. PharMerica believe the exclusion of these charges in expressing adjusted diluted earnings per share provides management with a useful measure to assess period to period comparability and is useful to investors in evaluating PharMerica’s operating results from period to period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, exclusive of the impact of merger, acquisition, integration costs and other charges, settlement, litigation and other related charges, restructuring and impairment charges, amortization of intangible assets, and the tax impact of the adjustments on the tax provision do not represent the amount that effectively accrues directly to stockholders (i.e., such costs are a reduction in earnings and stockholders’ equity) and is not intended to represent or to be used as a substitute for diluted earnings per share as measured under GAAP. The impact of merger, acquisition, integration costs and other charges, settlement, litigation and other related charges, restructuring and impairment charges, amortization of intangible assets, and the tax impact of the adjustments on the tax provision excluded from the diluted earnings per share are significant components of the accompanying consolidated income statements and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance.
