Express Scripts, Inc. (the “Company”), hereby amends this Current Report on Form 8-K, which was initially filed on October 14, 2005, to provide historical financial statements of Priority Healthcare Corporation (“Priority”) and pro forma financial information as required under Item 9.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired.
Unaudited financial statements of Priority, as of July 2, 2005 and for the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2005, and the notes thereto, are attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
Audited financial statements of Priority, as of December 31, 2004, and for the year then ended, and the notes related thereto, are attached as Exhibit 99.3 hereto.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited consolidated pro forma statement of operations combines the historical statement of operations of Priority Healthcare Corporation (“Priority”) and us, Express Scripts, Inc., for the year ended December 31, 2004 and for the six months ended June 30, 2005. On October 14, 2005, we consummated the acquisition of Priority. The unaudited consolidated pro forma statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 has been prepared to reflect the acquisition of Priority and the related financing as if these events had occurred on January 1, 2004. The unaudited consolidated pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 has been prepared to reflect the acquisition of Priority and the related financings as if these events had occurred on January 1, 2004. Any financial effects of the integration of Priority are not reflected in the pro forma presentation.
The following unaudited consolidated pro forma balance sheet combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of Priority and us as of June 30, 2005. The unaudited consolidated pro forma balance sheet has been prepared to reflect the acquisition of Priority and the related financing as if these events had occurred on June 30, 2005.
The principal assumptions used to prepare the unaudited consolidated pro forma financial data are contained in the notes to the unaudited consolidated pro forma financial data. The basis of accounting for the acquired assets and liabilities is based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
The pro forma adjustments represent our preliminary determination based upon available information and assumptions which we consider reasonable under the circumstances. This determination is preliminary as we are awaiting final third party appraisals of intangible assets, and management has not finalized their assessment of fair value of certain assets and liabilities. The unaudited consolidated pro forma data is not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations or the results of operations as they might have been had the acquisitions and the related financings been effective on the first day of the period presented. The unaudited consolidated pro forma financial data should be read in conjunction with our separate historical consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (filed March 3, 2005), the separate historical financial statements and notes of Priority for the year ended January 1, 2005 included in Exhibit 99.3 of this current Registration Form 8-K/A, and the separate unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes for Priority for the six months ended July 2, 2005 included in Exhibit 99.2 of this current Report on Form 8-K/A.

(2) | Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 2, 2005. |
(3) | Adjustment reflects the use of our cash-on-hand to partially fund the acquisition of Priority and related transaction costs. |
(4) | Adjustment reflects a $9.7 million increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts to conform to our policies and procedures, and a $6.0 million decrease for the write-off of accounts receivable. |
(5) | Adjustment reflects the reduction in deferred tax assets associated with the recording of identifiable, definite-life intangible assets, which was calculated by using a tax rate of 38.0%, Priority’s effective tax rate for the first six months of 2005. |
(6) | Adjustment to reduce fixed assets to estimated fair value. |
(7) | Adjustment required to reflect the excess of the purchase price over fair market value of the identified net assets acquired as well as the elimination of Priority’s historical goodwill of $172.1 million. The Company has preliminarily allocated $1.0 billion to goodwill and will adjust goodwill accordingly when the establishment of fair values for all identifiable net assets is complete. |
(8) | Adjustment reflects the preliminary allocation of fair value to other intangibles of $64.5 million. The allocation of the purchase price to acquired intangible assets (consisting of customer relationships, trademarks and covenants not to compete) is preliminary and subject to the final outcome of independent analyses currently being conducted. The actual amounts being recorded when the purchase price allocation is finalized may differ materially from the pro forma amounts presented herein. |
(9) | Adjustment reflects the write-off of $2.4 million (net of tax) and $0.3 million in deferred financing fees relating to our and Priority’s refinanced debt, respectively, as well as the inclusion of $10.5 million in new deferred financing fees relating to the new $2.2 billion senior credit facilities. Adjustment also reflects a $3.5 million reduction in long-term investments based on estimated fair value. |
(10) | Adjustment reflects the estimated exit costs for potential site consolidations and severance costs, as well as the tax effect of the write-off of our deferred financing fees (see note 9). |
(11) | Adjustment reflects the refinancing of Priority’s line of credit. |
(12) | Adjustment reflects the refinancing of our existing senior credit facility with a new senior credit facility. We utilized $1.6 billion of the new senior credit facility, of which $160.1 million is short-term, to pay off the existing debt as well as fund the Priority acquisition. |
(13) | Adjustment reflects the elimination of the Priority pre-acquisition equity balances and the elimination of our deferred financing fees of $3.8 million (pre-tax). |
Note that no pro forma adjustment has been included for the sale of our ownership share of the Aetna Specialty Pharmacy, a joint venture with Aetna, Inc. Aetna Specialty Pharmacy net assets of $67.0 million are included in the consolidated Priority balances shown above. Upon consummation of the sale of our ownership share, any difference between the sale price and the Aetna Specialty Pharmacy net assets will reduce the amount of goodwill associated with our acquisition of Priority.

(3) | Adjustment records the estimated net increase of $6.3 million in 2005 YTD amortization expense for other intangible assets.

· | Elimination of interest expense of $1.3 million on Priority's existing debt. |
· | Elimination of $0.5 million in deferred financing fees amortization related to our existing debt. |
· | Elimination of $0.1 million in deferred financing fees amortization related to Priority's existing debt. |
· | Addition of $34.5 million in interest expense associated with the outstanding borrowings from our new senior credit facility, assuming an interest rate of 4.3%. |
· | Addition of $1.0 million in deferred financing fees amortization; these deferred financing fees are being amortized using the straight-line method over 5 years, which represents the maturity of the Term Loan A under the new credit facility. |
An 1/8 percent increase in interest rates would result in additional interest expense of $1.0 million (pre-tax).
(6) | Adjustment reflects the income tax effect on the income/(loss) of the pro forma adjustments at a statutory tax rate of 37.1% |
