AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. The interim financial data are unaudited; however, in the opinion of the management of Omnicare, Inc., the interim data include all adjustments (which include only normal adjustments, except as discussed in Note 4) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Omnicare, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Omnicare" or the "Company"). Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform with the current year presentation. 2. The Company has been involved in a program to acquire providers of pharmaceutical and related pharmacy management services and medical supplies to long-term care facilities and their residents. The Company's strategy includes acquisitions of freestanding institutional pharmacy businesses as well as other assets, generally insignificant in size, which are combined with existing pharmacy operations to augment their internal growth. The Company may, from time to time, acquire certain non-pharmaceutical companies which complement the Company's core business. Since January 1, 1999, the Company has completed five acquisitions (excluding insignificant purchases of other assets) of institutional pharmacy businesses, four of which were accounted for as purchase transactions and one as a pooling-of-interests transaction. These transactions added approximately $65.5 million in revenues on an annualized basis. For all acquisitions accounted for as purchases, including insignificant purchases of other assets, the purchase price paid has been allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the results of operations of the acquired entities have been included in the consolidated results of the Company from the effective dates of the acquisitions. Pooling-of-Interests Transactions On June 26, 1998, Omnicare completed the acquisition of CompScript, Inc. ("CompScript"). Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, CompScript stockholders received .12947 of a share of Omnicare common stock for each share owned of CompScript common stock. Omnicare issued approximately 1.8 million shares of its common stock with a value of approximately $67 million in this transaction, which was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and a tax free reorganization. CompScript is a Boca Raton, Florida-based provider of comprehensive pharmacy management, infusion therapy and related consulting services to the long-term care, alternate care and managed care markets. CompScript served approximately 20,000 residents in 137 long-term care facilities in five states at the time of the acquisition. On June 29, 1998, Omnicare completed the acquisition of IBAH, Inc. ("IBAH"). Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, IBAH stockholders received .1638 of a share of Omnicare common stock for each share owned of IBAH common stock. Omnicare issued 6 approximately 4.3 million shares of common stock with a value of approximately $159 million in this transaction, which was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and a tax free reorganization. IBAH, headquartered in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, is an international provider of comprehensive product development services to client companies in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and diagnostics industries. IBAH offers services for all stages of drug development that are intended to help client companies to accelerate products from discovery through development and commercialization more cost-effectively. In connection with the CompScript and IBAH mergers, in the 1998 second quarter, Omnicare recorded a charge to operating expenses of $17,723,000 ($15,391,000 after taxes) for direct and other merger-related costs pertaining to the merger transactions and certain related restructuring actions. Merger transaction costs consisted primarily of fees for investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, financial printing and other related charges. Restructuring costs include severance and exit costs. Details of these costs follow (in thousands): Initial Utilized as of Balance at Provision June 30, 1999 June 30, 1999 --------- -------------- ------------- Merger transaction costs $14,096 $12,846 $1,250 Restructuring costs: Employee severance 1,413 1,074 339 Exit costs 2,214 1,536 678 ------- ------- ------ Total $17,723 $15,456 $2,267 ======= ======= ====== Restructuring costs include the costs of restructuring the CompScript mail order pharmacy business and the cancellation of certain of its vendor agreements along with severance and exit costs associated with the consolidation of certain IBAH facilities and the restructuring of its pharmaceutics business. These actions resulted in the reduction of approximately 20 employees. Included in the exit costs are $1,948,000 of non-cash items. At June 30, 1999, all remaining liabilities relating to these actions were classified as current liabilities. 3. Based on the "management approach" as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Omnicare has two business segments. The Company's largest segment is Pharmacy Services. Pharmacy Services provides distribution of pharmaceuticals, related pharmacy consulting, data management services and medical supplies to long-term care facilities. The Company's other reportable segment is Contract Research Organization ("CRO") Services, which provides comprehensive product development services to client companies in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical devices and diagnostics industries. 7 The table below presents information about the reportable segments as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, ----------------------------------------------------------- Corporate Pharmacy CRO and Consolidated 1999: Services Services Consolidating Totals - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales $ 419,142 $ 35,503 $ - $ 454,645 Depreciation and amortization 15,206 1,531 262 16,999 Operating income (expense), excluding acquisition expenses and restructuring costs 47,973 4,731 (6,212) 46,492 Acquisition expenses (822) - - (822) Restructuring costs (23,983) (2,730) - (26,713) Operating income (expense) 23,168 2,001 (6,212) 18,957 Total assets 1,882,437 121,712 141,075 2,145,224 Expenditures for additions to long-lived assets 16,371 985 996 18,352 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1998: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales $ 328,676 $ 29,518 $ - $ 358,194 Depreciation and amortization 9,869 1,537 125 11,531 Operating income (expense), excluding acquisition expenses and restructuring costs 43,612 3,318 (5,759) 41,171 Acquisition expenses (8,827) (5,269) - (14,096) Restructuring costs (1,245) (2,382) - (3,627) Operating income (expense) 33,540 (4,333) (5,759) 23,448 Total assets 1,250,774 103,134 117,498 1,471,406 Expenditures for additions to long-lived assets 11,244 2,117 743 14,104 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 Six Months Ended June 30, --------------------------------------------------------- Corporate Pharmacy CRO and Consolidated 1999: Services Services Consolidating Totals - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales $ 830,852 $ 69,481 $ - $ 900,333 Depreciation and amortization 29,176 3,107 451 32,734 Operating income (expense), excluding acquisition expenses and restructuring costs 103,461 9,155 (12,312) 100,304 Acquisition expenses (822) - - (822) Restructuring costs (23,983) (2,730) - (26,713) Operating income (expense) 78,656 6,425 (12,312) 72,769 Total assets 1,882,437 121,712 141,075 2,145,224 Expenditures for additions to long-lived assets 29,446 1,553 2,336 33,335 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1998: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales $ 640,274 $ 58,178 $ - $ 698,452 Depreciation and amortization 19,101 2,943 228 22,272 Operating income (expense), excluding acquisition expenses and restructuring costs 85,184 5,014 (11,241) 78,957 Acquisition expenses (9,318) (5,269) - (14,587) Restructuring costs (1,245) (2,382) - (3,627) Operating income (expense) 74,621 (2,637) (11,241) 60,743 Total assets 1,250,774 103,134 117,498 1,471,406 Expenditures for additions to long-lived assets 19,025 3,260 1,211 23,496 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. In the second quarter of 1999, the Company announced a comprehensive restructuring plan to streamline company-wide operations through the implementation of a productivity and consolidation program. This program is in response to the recent changes in the healthcare industry and to gain maximum benefits from the existing acquisition program. The productivity and consolidation initiatives are expected to eliminate redundant efforts, simplify work processes and apply technology to maximize employee productivity, and standardize operations around best practices. Facilities in overlapping geographic territories are being consolidated to better align pharmacies around customers to improve efficiency and enhance the Company's ability to deliver innovative services and programs to its customers. Productivity initiatives are being introduced at the majority of the Company's 220 pharmacy and other operating locations. Also as part of the initiative, the roster of pharmacies and other operating locations are being reconfigured through consolidations, relocations, the creation of nine new sites, and the closing of approximately 20 sites. These strategic measures are expected to lead to the net reduction of approximately 1,700 full- and part-time positions upon completion of the plan. 9 In connection with this program, Omnicare expects to recognize total restructuring costs of $32,354,000 ($20,783,000 after taxes). During the 1999 second quarter, Omnicare recorded a charge to operating expenses of $26,713,000 ($17,229,000 after taxes) for restructuring activities. The remaining costs will be expensed over the next six quarters when the amounts are required to be recognized per generally accepted accounting principles. The restructuring charge includes severance pay, the buy-out of current employee contract agreements, the buy-out of lease obligations, the write-off of other assets (representing $2,717,000 of non-cash items) and facility exit costs. Details of these costs follow (in thousands): Initial Utilized as of Balance at Provision June 30, 1999 June 30, 1999 --------- ------------- ------------- Productivity and consolidation programs: Employee severance $11,555 $ 248 $11,307 Employee contract agreement buy-outs 6,445 878 5,567 Lease terminations 5,536 72 5,464 Other assets and facility exit costs 3,177 1,932 1,245 -------- -------- -------- Total $26,713 $3,130 $23,583 ======== ======== ======== As of June 30, 1999, the Company had incurred approximately $1.1 million of severance and other employee-related costs covering the reduction of approximately 100 employees. All remaining liabilities relating to the initial charge were classified as current liabilities at June 30, 1999 as the Company anticipates that these activities will be completed by mid-2000. The Company expects that the overall restructuring program will be completed by the end of the year 2000. 10 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Results of Operations Quarter Ended June 1999 vs. 1998 Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $.25 as compared with $.26 earned in the prior year quarter, excluding restructuring costs and acquisition expenses relating to pooling-of-interests transactions from both periods. Net income for the 1999 quarter, on this basis, was $22,693,000 versus the $23,497,000 earned in the 1998 quarter. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1999 rose 26.9% to $454,645,000 from the $358,194,000 recorded in the comparable prior year period. The second quarter of 1999 included a restructuring charge of $26,713,000 ($17,229,000 after taxes, or $.19 per share) related to the Company's previously announced productivity and consolidation initiative along with $822,000 ($586,000 after taxes, or $0.01 per share) of acquisition expenses related to a pooling-of-interests transaction completed during the quarter. The 1998 quarter included pooling expenses of $14,096,000 ($12,702,000 after taxes, or $0.14 per share) for the acquisitions of IBAH, Inc. and CompScript, Inc., both of which closed during that period. The 1998 quarter also included $3,627,000 ($2,689,000 after taxes, or $0.03 per share) in non-recurring charges related to the restructuring of certain of CompScript's and IBAH's businesses. The increase in the Company's sales represents the cumulative effect of its acquisitions of long-term care pharmacy providers, and continued internal growth of the pharmacy services and contract research organization businesses. The reduction in earnings reflects the very difficult operating environment in the long-term care industry. The implementation of the Prospective Payment System ("PPS") for Medicare residents of skilled nursing facilities has created a much more turbulent environment than was anticipated. While Omnicare experienced PPS-related pricing pressure from skilled nursing facility customers late in 1998 and to a greater extent early in 1999, much of this pressure was offset by the addition of new business, the benefits of increased compliance with Omnicare's proprietary geriatric formulary, the Omnicare Geriatric Pharmaceutical Care Guidelines'r', and reduced operating costs. However, the increasing reluctance on the part of skilled nursing facilities to admit Medicare residents, particularly those requiring complex care, owing to concerns relating to the adequacy of reimbursement under PPS has caused Medicare census to further weaken in many areas. Moreover, for many skilled nursing facilities, the average length of stay for Medicare residents has decreased. These factors have had the effect of significantly reducing overall occupancy in the facilities Omnicare serves. Moreover, the mix of residents in skilled nursing facilities also has adversely affected Omnicare's results as these facilities have attempted to avoid high acuity patients which impacts overall utilization of drugs, particularly infusion therapy. Reimbursement concerns have increasingly driven many nursing facilities to admit residents funded by payors other than Medicare. These trends accelerated during the second quarter and had an unfavorable impact on sales and profit margins. During the second quarter of 1999, the Company acquired four institutional pharmacy providers (excluding insignificant purchases of other assets) which when combined with internal 11 growth, brought the total number of nursing facility residents served to 625,300 at June 30, 1999. These transactions added approximately $62.1 million in revenues on an annualized basis. Internal growth resulted from the efforts of the Company's National Sales and Marketing Group and pharmacy staff in developing new pharmacy contracts, drug price inflation, growth in other complementary non-pharmaceutical service businesses and other changes in sales mix. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 29.0% in 1999 from 30.3% in 1998. The positive impact on gross profit relating to the Company's purchasing leverage associated with purchases of pharmaceuticals, leveraging fixed and variable overhead costs at the Company's pharmacies, benefits realized from the Company's formulary compliance program and changes in sales mix including increased sales from contract research organizations were more than offset by the aforementioned unfavorable impact of PPS on the Pharmacy Services segment. Selling, general and administrative ("operating") expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 increased 26.9% to $85,546,000 as compared to 1998 due to the overall growth of the Company. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales of 18.8% in 1999 were consistent with the prior year. Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $367,000, a decrease of $610,000 in comparison to the same period of 1998 due to a lower average invested cash balance during the second quarter of 1999 than in the second quarter of 1998. The use of cash is primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition program. Interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $10,848,000, an increase of $6,413,000 versus the comparable prior year period primarily due to the impact of interest expense associated with the $390 million and $85 million increases, respectively, in borrowings under the Company's five-year $400 million and 364-day $400 million line of credit facilities from June 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999. These increases are primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition program, particularly $250 million borrowed in the third quarter of 1998 in connection with the Company's acquisition of the pharmacy business of Extendicare, Inc. The decrease in the effective tax rate to 42.4% in the second quarter of 1999 from 59.4% in the comparable prior year quarter is primarily attributable to a reduction in nondeductible acquisition expenses relating to the pooling-of-interests transaction in the second quarter of 1999 as compared to the aforementioned second quarter 1998 transactions, and a decrease in state and local income taxes in 1999 due to the Company's state tax planning programs. The Company expects the benefit realized from the state tax planning programs to continue. The effective tax rates in the 1999 and 1998 second quarters are higher than the statutory rate primarily due to state and local income taxes and various nondeductible expenses (e.g., acquisition costs, etc.). 12 Year-to-Date June 1999 vs. 1998 Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $.56, up 12% over the $.50 per diluted share earned in the first half of 1998, excluding restructuring costs and acquisition expenses relating to pooling-of-interests transactions from both periods. Net income, on this basis, for the first half of 1999 was $50,500,000, up 14% over the $44,318,000 earned in the first half of 1998. Revenues of $900,333,000 in the first half of 1999 were 29% higher than the $698,452,000 recorded in the comparable prior year period. The first six months of 1999 include the aforementioned restructuring charge and pooling-of-interests expenses, totaling $27,535,000 before taxes ($17,815,000 after taxes, or $0.20 per diluted share). The comparable 1998 period includes pooling-of-interests expenses totaling $14,587,000 before taxes ($13,117,000 after taxes, or $0.15 cents per diluted share) and the aforementioned restructuring charge of $3,627,000 before taxes ($2,689,000 after taxes, or $0.03 per diluted share). The increase in sales and, to a lesser extent, earnings represents the cumulative effect of the Company's acquisitions of long-term care pharmacy providers, and continued internal growth of the pharmacy services and contract research organization businesses. These favorable factors were partially offset by the aforementioned unfavorable impact of PPS. During the first half of 1999, the Company acquired five institutional pharmacy providers (excluding insignificant purchases of other assets) which when combined with internal growth, brought the total number of nursing facility residents served to 625,300 at June 30, 1999. These transactions added approximately $65.5 million in revenues on an annualized basis. Internal growth resulted from the efforts of the Company's National Sales and Marketing Group and pharmacy staff in developing new pharmacy contracts, drug price inflation, growth in other complementary non-pharmaceutical service businesses and other changes in sales mix. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 29.8% in 1999 from 30.1% in 1998. The positive impact on gross profit relating to the Company's purchasing leverage associated with purchases of pharmaceuticals, leveraging fixed and variable overhead costs at the Company's pharmacies, benefits realized from the Company's formulary compliance program and changes in sales mix including increased sales from contract research organizations were more than offset by the aforementioned unfavorable impact of PPS on the Pharmacy Services segment. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased 27.9% to $167,529,000 as compared to 1998 due to the overall growth of the Company. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales of 18.6% in 1999 were less than the 18.8% in the prior year due to the leveraging of fixed overhead costs through acquisitions and internal growth. Investment income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $649,000, a decrease of $1,774,000 in comparison to the same period of 1998 due to a lower average invested cash balance during the second half of 1999 as compared to 1998. The use of cash is primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition program. 13 Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $20,829,000, an increase of $11,623,000 versus the comparable prior year period primarily due to the impact of interest expense associated with the $390 million and $85 million increases, respectively, in borrowings under the Company's five-year $400 million and 364-day $400 million line of credit facilities from June 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999. These increases are primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition program, particularly $250 million borrowed in the third quarter of 1998 in connection with the Company's acquisition of the pharmacy business of Extendicare, Inc. The decrease in the effective tax rate to 37.9% during the first half of 1999 from 47.2% in the comparable prior year period is primarily attributable to a reduction in nondeductible acquisition expenses relating to the pooling-of-interests transaction in the second quarter of 1999 as compared to the aforementioned second quarter 1998 transactions, and a decrease in state and local income taxes in 1999 due to the Company's state tax planning programs. The Company expects the benefit realized from the state tax planning programs to continue. The effective tax rates in the 1999 and 1998 second quarters are higher than the statutory rate primarily due to state and local income taxes and various nondeductible expenses (e.g., acquisition costs, etc.). Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1999 were $88.6 million versus $54.3 million at December 31, 1998. Acquisitions of businesses through June 30, 1999 required $125.7 million of cash payments (including amounts payable pursuant to acquisition agreements relating to pre-1999 acquisitions) which were funded by borrowings from the Company's revolving credit facilities during the first half of 1999. In October 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a consortium of sixteen banks for a $400 million revolving credit facility available through 2001. In December 1998, the Company amended this five-year, $400 million line of credit to permit an additional 364-day, $400 million line of credit through December 20, 1999, which can be converted at maturity into a one-year term loan. Interest rates and commitment fees for the five-year $400 million line of credit facility are based on the Company's level of performance under certain financial ratios, debt covenants and the amount of borrowings under the line of credit. The total amount outstanding under this facility as of June 30, 1999 was $390 million. Interest rates and commitment fees under the 364-day $400 million line of credit are based on the Company's debt ratings. The amount outstanding at June 30, 1999 under the 364-day facility was $85 million. The Company generated positive net cash flows from operating activities of $30.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999. Inventories increased during the first six months of 1999 relating primarily to the purchase of $16.4 million of inventories in advance of pharmaceutical price increases from manufacturers. Excluding these incremental inventory payments, net cash flows from operating activities were approximately $47 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999. The Company's capital requirements are primarily related to its acquisition program and, to a lesser extent, capital expenditures, including those related to investments in the Company's information technology systems such as its Year 2000 compliance initiative. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company made five acquisitions (excluding insignificant 14 purchases of other assets), as well as payments relating to individually insignificant purchases of other assets and disbursements relating to amounts payable pursuant to acquisition agreements relating to pre-1999 acquisitions. Such acquisition activity was financed from cash and cash equivalents and the issuance of approximately 398,000 shares of common stock. There are no material commitments outstanding at June 30, 1999, other than estimated future acquisition-related payments to be made in accordance with purchase agreements. The Company's current ratio at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 was 2.4 to 1.0 and 2.6 to 1.0, respectively. The decrease in the current ratio is primarily attributable to liabilities recorded in connection with the Company's aforementioned productivity and consolidation initiative. Excluding the restructuring reserve associated with the productivity and consolidation initiative recorded in the second quarter, the Company's current ratio at June 30, 1999 would be 2.7 to 1. On February 3, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend by 13% to 2.25 cents per share for an indicated annual rate of 9 cents per share in 1999. Dividends of $4.1 million were paid during the six months ended June 30, 1999 versus the $3.3 million paid in the comparable prior year period. The Company believes its sources of liquidity and capital are adequate for its ongoing operating needs. If needed, other external sources of financing are readily available to the Company. Impact of Year 2000 The Company utilizes information systems throughout its business to carry out its day-to-day operations. Further, the Company has and will continue to invest in financial and operational systems to support its growth strategy. Incorporated in this process is the continuing assessment of the Company's Year 2000 compliance. The Company currently considers its internal information technology ("IT") systems to be substantially Year 2000 compliant. For those systems that are not Year 2000 compliant, Omnicare is currently correcting, upgrading or replacing those systems with, among other systems, its new proprietary information system, which is Year 2000 compliant. The Company believes it will be able to modify or replace its affected systems in time to avoid any interruptions in its operations and anticipates that such remediation will be completed during the second half of 1999. The system remediation is being completed using both internal resources and external consultants. The Company estimates that the total costs associated with this project will range from approximately $6.2 million to $7.9 million (with hardware accounting for approximately 40 percent of these costs and software and implementation approximating 60 percent of these costs). Approximately $4.8 million has been spent to date. The cost of this project will be funded from the Company's operating cash flows. No IT projects with high priority have been significantly delayed due to the Year 2000 initiatives. The Company does not anticipate any significant implications with respect to Year 2000 issues relating to non-IT systems. While the Company believes its plan for Year 2000 compliance will be completed on a timely basis and within the foregoing estimates, there can be no assurance that the remedial actions being implemented by the Company will be completed in a timely manner; nor can assurance be given that any inability to complete remedial action in a timely manner will not 15 impact adversely operations or financial results. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the costs associated with the remediation will not exceed the foregoing estimates. The failure by third parties with whom the Company has dealings, particularly the Medicaid and Medicare programs, to adequately address their Year 2000 issues could adversely affect the Company, and claims to these third party payors could be unjustifiably denied and/or delayed. As a result, the Company's accounts receivable balance could increase, unfavorably impacting operating cash flows. The Company is communicating with each of these programs to determine the extent to which it may be impacted by any Year 2000 issues not yet resolved by these programs. The Company has developed a contingency plan which, if necessary, would call for the submission of reimbursement claims using universal claim (paper) forms to the programs in the event that computerized processing is not feasible in the year 2000. While it is management's current belief that this contingency plan would satisfactorily address the risk associated with any absence of readiness experienced by these programs, there can be no assurance that implementation of such plan will mitigate in whole or in part such risk.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading purposes and does not hedge any of its market risks with derivative instruments. The Company's primary market risk exposure relates to interest rate risk exposure through its borrowings. The Company's debt obligations at June 30, 1999 includes $390 million outstanding under its five-year $400 million variable-rate revolving line of credit facility at an approximate average rate of 6.3% at June 30, 1999 (a one-hundred basis point change in interest rates would impact interest expense by approximately $1.0 million per quarter), $85 million outstanding under its 364-day $400 million variable-rate revolving line of credit facility at an approximate average rate of 5.9% at June 30, 1999 (a one-hundred basis point change in interest rates would impact interest expense by approximately $0.2 million per quarter) and $345 million outstanding under convertible subordinated notes due in 2007, which accrue interest at a fixed rate of 5%. The fair value of the Company's debt obligations approximates their carrying value. 17 PART II. -- OTHER INFORMATION Item 2.
