All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position as of December 31, 2000, the results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 have been included. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but which are not required for interim reporting purposes, have been omitted. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000. NOTE 2--LEGAL MATTERS AND CONTINGENCIES In the ordinary course of its business the Company becomes involved in lawsuits, administrative proceedings, and governmental investigations, including antitrust, environmental, product liability, regulatory agency and other matters. In some of these proceedings plaintiffs may seek to recover large and sometimes unspecified amounts and the matters may remain unresolved for several years. On the basis of information furnished by counsel and others, the Company does not believe that these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its business or financial condition. In November 1993, the Company was named a defendant, along with six other wholesale distributors and twenty-four pharmaceutical manufacturers, in a series of purported class action antitrust lawsuits brought by retail pharmacies alleging violations of various antitrust laws stemming from the use of chargeback agreements. In addition, the Company and four other wholesale distributors were added as defendants in a series of related antitrust lawsuits brought by independent pharmacies and chain drugstores, both of which opted out of the class cases. The Company also was named a defendant in parallel suits filed in state courts in Minnesota, Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi. The federal class actions were originally filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, but were transferred along with the individual and chain drugstore cases to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Plaintiffs sought injunctive relief, treble damages, attorneys' fees and costs. In October 1994, the Company entered into a Judgment Sharing Agreement with the other wholesaler and pharmaceutical manufacturer defendants. Under the Judgment Sharing Agreement: (a) the manufacturer defendants agreed to reimburse the wholesaler defendants for litigation costs incurred up to an aggregate of $9 million; and (b) if a judgment is entered against both manufacturers and wholesalers, the total exposure for joint and several liability of the Company is limited to the lesser of 1% of such judgment or $1 million. In addition, the Company released any claims which it might have had against the manufacturers for the claims presented by the plaintiffs in these lawsuits. Subsequent amendments to the Judgment Sharing Agreement provided additional protection to the Company from litigation expenses in exchange for updated releases. The Judgment Sharing Agreement covers the federal court litigation as well as the cases which have been filed in various state courts. 7 AMERISOURCE HEALTH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)-(CONTINUED) NOTE 2 - LEGAL MATTERS AND CONTINGENCIES - CONTINUED After a ten-week trial in the federal class action case, the Court granted all of the defendants' motions for a directed verdict and dismissed the claims the class plaintiffs had asserted against the Company and the other defendants. Plaintiffs in the class case then appealed the District Court's judgment to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. On June 9, 1999, the Seventh Circuit affirmed the judgment the District Court entered in favor of the Company in the class case. Plaintiffs' petition for a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court was denied. The state cases are proceeding. The Minnesota case settled without any payment or admission of liability by the Company. On November 29, 1999, the trial court in Alabama dismissed all of the claims asserted against the Company and the other wholesaler and manufacturer defendants in accordance with a ruling from the Alabama Supreme Court. The Mississippi and Tennessee cases remain pending, but are inactive. On or about October 2, 1997, a group of retail chain drugstores and individual pharmacies that had opted out of the class cases filed a motion with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois seeking to add the Company and the other wholesale distributors as defendants in their cases against the manufacturer defendants, which cases are consolidated before the same judge who presides over the class cases. This motion was granted and the Company and the other wholesale distributors have been added as defendants in those cases as well. As a result, the Company was served with approximately 120 additional complaints on behalf of approximately 4,000 pharmacies and chain retailers. Following fact and expert discovery, the Company and the other wholesale distributors filed a joint motion for summary judgment. On November 6, 2000 the District Court granted the Company's motion for summary judgment as to the chain and individual pharmacies' claims. Plaintiffs have appealed that decision to the Seventh Circuit. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in these lawsuits and intends to defend itself vigorously in all of these cases. The Company is subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations at one of its former distribution centers that may require the Company to make remediation efforts. In fiscal 1994, the Company accrued $4.1 million to cover future consulting, legal, and remediation and ongoing monitoring costs. The accrued liability, which is reflected in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet ($3.8 million at December 31, 2000), is based on an engineering analysis prepared by outside consultants and represents an estimate of the extent of contamination and choice of remedy based on existing technology and presently enacted laws and regulation. However, changes in remediation standards, improvements in cleanup technology and discovery of additional information concerning the site could affect the estimated liability in the future. 8 AMERISOURCE HEALTH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)-(CONTINUED) NOTE 3--EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Earnings per share--assuming dilution is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of stock options. Additionally, the fiscal 2001 calculation considers the convertible subordinated notes as if converted and, therefore, the effect of interest expense related to these notes is added back to net income in determining income available to common stockholders. Three months ended December 31, 2000 ------------------------------ 2000 1999 ------------ ------------- Net income........................................................... $26,191 $21,599 Interest expense - convertible subordinated notes, net of income taxes............................................................... 559 -- ------- ----------- Income available to common stockholders.............................. $26,750 $21,599 ======= ======= Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding..................................... 52,354 51,287 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options................................................... 993 205 Convertible subordinated notes.................................. 1,231 -- ------- ----------- Weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive potential common stock................................. 54,578 51,492 ======= ======= NOTE 4 - LONG-TERM DEBT In December 2000, the Company issued $300.0 million of Convertible Subordinated Notes due December 1, 2007. The notes have an annual interest rate of 5%, payable semiannually, and are convertible into Class A Common Stock of the Company at $52.97 per share at any time before their maturity or their prior redemption or repurchase by the Company. On or after December 3, 2004, the Company has the option to redeem all or a portion of the notes that have not been previously converted. Net proceeds from the notes of approximately $291.1 million were used to repay existing borrowings, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. In connection with the issuance of the notes, the Company incurred approximately $8.9 million of financing fees which were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the notes. 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Operating revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2000 increased 17% from the prior-year quarter to $3.3 billion. During the current-year quarter, sales to health systems increased 14%, sales to alternate site facilities increased 74%, sales to independent drugstore customers increased 2% and sales to the chain drugstore customer group increased 38% compared to the prior-year period. The increase in health systems revenue was primarily due to revenue growth with the Veterans Administration and the Novation group purchasing organization ("GPO"). Revenue from the Veterans Administration grew 20% over the prior-year quarter and accounted for 18% of total operating revenue in the three-month period ended December 31, 2000. During calendar 2000 members of the Novation GPO went through a distributor selection process and as a result of this process AmeriSource obtained a net gain of approximately $500 million in annualized revenue. During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company realized approximately 70% to 80% of the estimated revenue impact and anticipates realizing 100% of the impact by the end of the second fiscal quarter. Alternate site revenue increased significantly due to the effect of a large mail-order customer which was added in the third fiscal quarter of last year and the addition of a number of new customers since the prior-year quarter. During the three months ended December 31, 2000, 53% of total operating revenue was from sales to institutional customers which include health systems (42%) and alternate site facilities (11%), and the remaining 47% was from retail customers, including independent community pharmacies (34%) and chain drugstores (13%). In the same period last year, the customer mix was 51% institutional and 49% retail. The Company reports as revenue bulk shipments to customer warehouses, whereby the Company acts as an intermediary in the ordering and subsequent delivery of pharmaceutical products. After ceasing to do business with the Company's largest bulk customer, revenue from bulk deliveries decreased to $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to $10.6 million in the prior-year quarter. Due to the insignificant service fees generated from these bulk shipments, fluctuations in volume have no significant impact on operating margins. Gross profit of $137.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 increased by 15% as compared to the prior year quarter due to the increase in operating revenue. As a percentage of operating revenue, the gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was 4.16% as compared to 4.24% in the prior-year quarter. The decline in gross profit percentage in the quarter was primarily due to changes in the customer mix which included more lower-margin institutional business than in the prior year and continuing price competition within the pharmaceutical distribution industry. This decline was offset in part by higher buy-side profits which were lower in the prior-year quarter due to changes in manufacturer pricing practices in advance of year 2000. Gross profit may continue to be impacted by price competition, changes in customer and product mix, distribution center performance and manufacturer pricing policies. In addition, the Company's cost of goods sold for interim periods includes a LIFO provision that is based on the Company's estimated full-year provision. This provision is subject to changes in inventory quantities, product mix, and manufacturer pricing practices, which may be impacted by market and other external influences. Selling and administrative expenses and depreciation increased by $9.3 million or 13% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared with the prior year quarter, and as a percentage of operating revenue, were 2.51% in fiscal 2001 and 2.60% in fiscal 2000. This improvement reflects the changing customer mix to more institutional business, which is lower gross margin business, but requires lower operating expense as a percentage of revenue to service. The improvements also reflect warehouse efficiencies and cost reductions related to the Company's centralization initiatives which were completed last year. These factors were offset in part by an increase in the bad debt provision to $3.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to a $.7 million provision in the prior year quarter. The bad debt increase was primarily due to less than expected recoveries from a large customer in bankruptcy. While the Company does not believe that this higher bad debt expense is indicative of a trend, there can be no assurance that similar events will not occur and result in additional bad debt expense in the future. Operating income of $53.9 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2000 increased by 18% from the prior-year period. The Company's operating margin for the quarter, increased slightly to 1.63% in fiscal 2001 from 1.62% in fiscal 2000. 10 Interest expense, was flat at $10.9 million, reflecting the net impact of lower average levels of debt, lower borrowing spreads and higher interest rates. In December 2000, the Company issued $300.0 million of fixed-rate convertible notes, which had a slight positive effect on interest expense for the quarter. Average borrowings during the quarter ended December 31, 2000 were $629 million as compared to average borrowings of $653 million in the prior-year quarter. Average borrowing rates under the Company's variable-rate debt facilities increased approximately 69 basis points from the prior-year quarter due to higher interest rates offset in part by lower borrowing spreads reflecting the Company's improved financial structure. The income tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2000, was computed based on an estimate of the full year effective tax rate. Net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 increased 21% to $26.2 million from $21.6 million in the prior-year quarter and net income per share -- assuming dilution increased 17% to $0.49 per share as compared to $0.42 per share in the prior-year quarter. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the quarter ended December 31, 2000, the Company's operating activities used $234.1 million in cash as compared to $160.8 million used in the prior-year quarter. Cash use from operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 resulted from an increase in merchandise inventories of $347.1 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $103.6 million offset in part by an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and income taxes of $178.1 million. Merchandise inventories were increased to support the 17% operating revenue increase, including the new Novation business, anticipated other new accounts, seasonal needs and year-end buying opportunities in anticipation of manufacturer price increases. The increase in accounts receivable reflects the increase in operating revenue. The number of days sales outstanding during the quarter improved by more than two days over the prior-year quarter. Centralization of accounts payable processing and timing of vendor payments accounted for a 5% increase in days payables outstanding over the prior-year quarter. Operating cash uses during the three months ended December 31, 2000 included $10.3 million in interest payments and $0.1 million in income tax payments. During the three-month period ended December 31, 1999, the Company's operating activities used $160.8 million of cash primarily due to increases in merchandise inventories of $199.7 million and accounts receivable of $88.6 million offset in part by an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and income taxes of $98.3 million. Merchandise inventories increased to support the increase in operating revenue as well as for seasonal buying opportunities in anticipation of manufacturer price increases and holiday shut downs. In addition, extra inventory was on hand at December 31, 1999 as insurance against potential Year 2000 supply problems. The accounts receivable increase in the quarter ended December 31, 1999, was primarily a result of the strong sales growth much of which occurred in mid to late December. Accounts payable, accrued expenses and income taxes increased due to timing issues and certain extended terms provided by vendors for Year 2000 related purchases. Capital expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 2000 were $5.4 million and relate principally to investments in information technology, warehouse improvements, and warehouse automation equipment. Similar expenditures of approximately $18 million to $20 million are expected to occur in the next three quarters of fiscal 2001. 11 Cash provided by financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $280.8 million primarily due to $300.0 million of Convertible Subordinated Notes due December 1, 2007 which were issued by the Company in December 2000. The notes have an annual interest rate of 5%, payable semiannually, and are convertible into Class A Common Stock of the Company at $52.97 per share at any time before their maturity or their prior redemption or repurchase by the Company. Net proceeds from the notes of approximately $291.1 million were used to repay existing borrowings, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. At December 31, 2000, there were no borrowings under the Company's $500 million revolving credit facility and borrowings under the $400 million receivables program were $385.0 million. The revolving credit facility expires in January 2002 and provides for interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 25 basis points to LIBOR plus 125 basis points based upon certain financial ratios. The receivables securitization facility was entered into in May 1999 and has a term of three years. Interest rates are based on prevailing market rates for short-term commercial paper plus a program fee of 38.5 basis points. The receivables securitization facility represents a financing vehicle utilized by the Company because of the availability of lower interest rates relative to other financing sources. The Company securitizes its trade account and note receivables, which are generally non-interest bearing, in transactions that do not qualify as sales transactions under SFAS No. 125. The Company's primary exposure to market risk consists of changes in interest rates on borrowings. An increase in interest rates would adversely affect the Company's operating results and the cash flow available after debt service to fund operations and expansion and, if permitted to do so under its revolving credit facility, to pay dividends on its capital stock. The Company enters into interest rate protection agreements from time to time to hedge the exposure to increasing interest rates with respect to its long-term debt agreements. The Company provides protection to meet actual exposures and does not speculate in derivatives. There were no such agreements outstanding at December 31, 2000. For every $100 million of unhedged variable rate debt, a 75 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the Company's annual interest expense by $0.75 million. The Company's operating results together with borrowings under its debt agreements and credit terms from suppliers, have provided sufficient capital resources to finance working capital and cash operating requirements, fund capital expenditures, and interest on outstanding debt. The Company's primary ongoing cash requirements will be to pay interest on indebtedness, finance working capital, and fund capital expenditures and routine growth and expansion through new business opportunities. Future cash flows from operations and borrowings are expected to be sufficient to fund the Company's ongoing cash requirements. The Company is subject to certain contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations at one of its former distribution centers that may require remediation efforts. In fiscal 1994, the Company accrued a liability of $4.1 million to cover future consulting, legal and remediation, and ongoing monitoring costs. The accrued liability ($3.8 million at December 31, 2000), which is reflected in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, is based on an estimate of the extent of contamination and choice of remedy, existing technology, and presently enacted laws and regulation, however, changes in remediation standards, improvements in cleanup technology, and discovery of additional information concerning the site could affect the estimated liability in the future.
