Exhibit 99.01 [CARDINAL HEALTH LOGO] 7000 Cardinal Place Dublin,OH 43017 www.cardinal.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACTS: Media: Jim Mazzola Investors: Jim Hinrichs (614) 757-3690 (614) 757-7828 jim.mazzola@cardinal.com jim.hinrichs@cardinal.com ------------------------ ------------------------- CARDINAL HEALTH ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS DUBLIN, OHIO, NOV. 4, 2004 -- Cardinal Health, Inc. (NYSE: CAH), the leading provider of products and services supporting the health care industry, today announced revenue for its first quarter rose 16 percent to $17.8 billion, while earnings from continuing operations declined to $217.8 million and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations declined to $0.50. Excluding special items of $20 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, net earnings from continuing operations decreased 28 percent to $238 million compared to $332 million in the prior year. Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations before special items declined 26 percent to $0.55 versus $0.74 last year. The company generated strong cash flow from operations for the quarter of nearly $900 million, including net proceeds of $500 million realized through an accounts receivable securitization. Free cash flow for the quarter was $777 million. (See the attached financial table for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP amounts to their GAAP equivalents.) "As we anticipated, the first quarter was challenging and our results are clearly below our historic performance and long-term expectations," said Robert D. Walter, chairman and chief executive officer. "We are taking action in each segment to capitalize on the strategic opportunities that exist today in our business. We are very focused on realizing the value of what we've assembled and achieving the potential we have as an integrated company." SEGMENT RESULTS The company attributed earnings declines for the quarter to three primary factors: - Declines within the Pharmaceutical Distribution and Provider Services segment in margin earned from pharmaceutical manufacturers due to changes in their sales practices and product price increases that were substantially below the prior year -more- CARDINAL HEALTH ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS PAGE 2 - Challenges in other business segments, including a decline in production of certain sterile products within the blow/fill/seal business of the Pharmaceutical Technologies and Services segment - Non-recurring items affecting the Medical Products and Services and Clinical Technologies and Services segments of $16.4 million and $20.6 million, respectively (Tables with specific segment results for the first quarter are attached and available at the Investor Relations page on www.cardinalhealth.com.) PHARMACEUTICAL DISTRIBUTION AND PROVIDER SERVICES - ------------------------------------------------- Segment revenues increased 16 percent for the quarter to $14.4 billion, while operating earnings declined by 29 percent to $163 million. The operating earnings decline was primarily the result of lower margins from manufacturers that have changed their selling practices, and the lack of manufacturer price increases during the quarter, as compared to prior year levels. The company is addressing the declines by transitioning distribution contracts to provide fee-based compensation, meaning fees will be paid by manufacturers for distribution services on a non-contingent basis as services are provided. This change is expected to improve returns and provide greater stability in future earnings. Progress was made during the quarter to transition these contracts, the company said. In August, Cardinal Health notified pharmaceutical manufacturers of a change in policy intended to transition existing contracts by the next anniversary date of current agreements or April 1, 2005. Expense control measures continued to drive efficiency within pharmaceutical distribution, with selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue declining over the prior year. Inventory levels at regional distribution centers are also expected to decline during the remainder of the year, as Cardinal Health's National Logistics Center is now operational. Based on strong cash flow and these expected inventory declines, the company announced today that it has fully repaid $1.25 billion in outstanding debt and decided not to move forward with a previously announced $500 million credit line that would have provided incremental borrowing capacity. MEDICAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES - ----------------------------- During the quarter, the company recorded a $16.4 million charge for remaining latex litigation costs. This litigation, which began during the mid-1990's, is nearing conclusion and the charge is the company's current estimate of costs to resolve all remaining litigation and related matters, net of estimated insurance proceeds. This non-recurring item had the effect of lowering Medical Products and Services operating earnings for the quarter. Overall, the segment reported solid revenue growth in the quarter -- up 11 percent to $2.4 billion -- led by strong momentum in distribution revenue on health-systems contracts. The effect of the latex charge and margin pressure on manufactured products caused operating earnings to decline 14 percent to $138 million versus $160 million last year. Excluding the latex charge, operating earnings were $154 million, a decline of 4 percent versus the prior year. The profitability of manufactured products was negatively affected -more- CARDINAL HEALTH ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS PAGE 3 by competitive pricing on a large group purchase organization contract and rising costs of raw materials used in manufacturing. Strong sales gains, new product introductions, ongoing cost reduction initiatives and continued strength in operations outside the U.S. are expected to contribute to improved earnings during the second half of the fiscal year in this segment. With these improvements, the company expects Medical Products and Services' earnings to return to growth rates that increase faster than revenue. PHARMACEUTICAL TECHNOLOGIES AND SERVICES - ---------------------------------------- Revenue and earnings comparisons within the Pharmaceutical Technologies and Services no longer measure the effect of foreign currency at a constant exchange rate, which negatively affected results for the quarter. Revenues increased 9 percent during the quarter to $705 million, driven by growth in nuclear pharmacy services, Intercare operations and improvements in the company's Somerset, N.J. development facility. Adjusting for the impact of the constant foreign currency exchange rates, revenues for the first quarter increased 11 percent. Operating earnings declined 24 percent to $81 million for the first quarter. Excluding the effect of constant foreign currency exchange rates, operating earnings declined 20 percent. Decreased earnings were the result of weakness in certain sterile manufacturing operations and short-term earnings declines in packaging services. Weakness in sterile manufacturing was the result of a decline in the core blow/fill/seal business and continued regulatory delays in the start up of new operations in Humacao, Puerto Rico. Costs associated with delays in Humacao totaled $5 million for the quarter, but these issues are expected to be resolved by the end of the second quarter. Partially offsetting earnings decreases in the blow/fill/seal and Humacao operations, the company's Albuquerque, N.M. sterile manufacturing operation continued to see strong demand and improved efficiency during the quarter, which is expected to lead the way for a significant contribution to the second half of 2005. Packaging services and pharmaceutical development are also expected to produce strong earnings growth for the balance of the year based on both the outlook for demand and efficiency initiatives underway. CLINICAL TECHNOLOGIES AND SERVICES - ---------------------------------- Results for this new segment, which include Cardinal Health's Alaris(R) products, Pyxis(R) products and Clinical Services and Consulting organizations, are being reported for the first time this quarter and replace the company's former Automation and Information Services segment. This new segment, which is expected to exceed $2 billion in revenues for the fiscal year, brings together extensive clinical expertise and market-leading products and services to help hospitals improve patient safety and clinical outcomes. Segment results for the quarter were affected by a one-time purchase-accounting adjustment to reflect the market value of Alaris inventory. This adjustment increased the value of Alaris inventory and effectively lowered first-quarter earnings by $20.6 million. In addition, the company said results for this segment will no longer include interest income -more- CARDINAL HEALTH ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS PAGE 4 from leases previously sold to a third party. This change negatively affects comparisons to prior results. Revenues for the segment were $524 million for the quarter and operating earnings reached $46 million, or $67 million excluding the inventory adjustment. Revenues for Alaris products and Clinical Services and Consulting were strong, with solid operating earnings in both businesses excluding the impact of the Alaris inventory adjustment. Revenue and earnings both declined for Pyxis products, which negatively affected overall segment results. Clinical Technologies and Services results are expected to improve during the year through new Pyxis product introductions, better rationalization of existing product lines and efficiencies resulting from the formation of the segment. Over the long-term, segment growth will be driven by innovative product and service offerings that draw on the vast clinical resources assembled in this organization.
