Gary A. Corless, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We refined our Company’s purpose – to strengthen the clinical success and financial health of caregivers by solving their biggest problems. During the past year, this purpose has led us to expand our services, products, and businesses to lead in the pursuit of a more efficient and effective future for the U.S. healthcare system. Our team continued to perform very well in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 with solid revenue growth of more than 15% in our Physician Business, consolidated operating margin expansion of 117 basis points, and impressive earnings per diluted share growth of 36%. Strong execution throughout the year resulted in our achieving $1.32 in earnings per diluted share, the high end of our goal for the full year.”
David M. Bronson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Despite five fewer billing days in fiscal year 2011 and difficult comps due to last year’s H1N1-related sales, the Company grew net income and generated operating cash flow of $116 million. This capital was deployed effectively through the repurchase of 2.7 million shares and a marked acceleration of our strategy of acquiring accretive fold-in and strategic companies.”
Consistent with historical patterns, fiscal year 2012, as the first year in a three-year plan, will include significant new investments that will drive our business strategies for the next several years. Nevertheless, we have set an initial goal for diluted earnings per share of $1.46 - $1.50, representing growth of 11% - 14%.”
