For the third quarter, revenues from continuing operations, excluding bulk shipments, increased 14% to a record $5.5 billion, which compares to $4.8 billion last year. Operating earnings from continuing operations rose to a record $98.6 million for the quarter, up 34% from the year-ago period. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $115.7 million for the quarter, an increase of 23% from last year's third quarter EBITDA.

Net earnings and earnings from continuing operations were $35.2 million for the third quarter, up 78% from last year's earnings from continuing operations of $19.7 million. Last year's net loss for the quarter, including losses from discontinued operations and dispositions related to the sale of Bergen Brunswig Medical Corporation and Stadtlander, was $239.4 million.

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.26 compared to $0.15 for the third quarter last year, an increase of 73%. Diluted loss per share including discontinued operations and dispositions was $1.78 for the third quarter of last year. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 137.3 million in fiscal 2001 versus 134.5 million for the third quarter last year.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2001 revenues from continuing operations, excluding bulk shipments, increased 10% to $15.2 billion which compares to $13.9 billion last year. Operating earnings from continuing operations rose 22% to $264.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2001 compared to $217.4 million for the same period a year ago. EBITDA from continuing operations increased 13% in the first nine months of fiscal 2001 to $315.6 million from $279.4 million for the same period last year.

For the nine months, net earnings and earnings from continuing operations were $84.7 million, up 32% from last year's earnings from continuing operations of $64.3 million. Last year's net loss of $207.5 million included losses from discontinued operations and dispositions.

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.62 for the nine months compared to $0.48 for the first nine months of fiscal 2000, an increase of 29%. Diluted loss per share including discontinued operations and dispositions was $1.54 for the first nine months of last year. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 136.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2001 versus 134.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2000.

``Last year at this time we stated our resolve to focus on our core expertise in both our major business segments, pharmaceutical distribution and PharMerica, in a concerted effort to enhance shareowner value,'' commented Robert E. Martini, Bergen's Chairman of the Board and CEO. ``We have done just that. Our current quarter's results show record revenues and operating earnings as well as FIFO operating margin improvements and demonstrate that our strategies are succeeding.

``While many industries have been adversely affected by changes in the economy, the healthcare industry is generally recession-resistant. We continue to see positive trends in our business as the demand for pharmaceutical products increases, generic drug usage grows as branded products come off patent, lower interest rates prevail, and our operations become increasingly efficient. All in all, we believe the economic climate continues to shift in our favor.''

Segment Review

Pharmaceutical Distribution Segment

This segment, comprised of Bergen Brunswig Drug Company (BBDC) and Bergen Brunswig Specialty Group (BBSG), increased revenues 14% in the third quarter to $5.3 billion and 10% to $14.8 billion for the nine months. Operating earnings for the pharmaceutical distribution segment increased 12% to $102.5 million for the quarter. For the nine month period, operating earnings increased 9% to $275.8 million.

Bergen Brunswig Drug Company

BBDC reported a 12% revenue increase for the quarter, reporting a record $4.9 billion. For the nine months, revenues were $13.6 billion, an 8% increase over the prior year.

``We are very pleased to report our third consecutive quarter of sales, earnings and operating expense margin improvement, despite difficult revenue comparisons to last year,'' said Brent R. Martini, President, BBDC. ``Our customer, supplier and internal initiatives are favorably impacting profitability.''

During the quarter, BBDC renewed several prime vendor contracts. Raley's signed a five-year $3 billion prime vendor contract with BBDC that includes a two year extension. BBDC has served Raley's, which operates supermarkets in California, Nevada, and New Mexico, for nearly 10 years, and the signing of this contract exemplifies the strong, long-term nature of its relationships with its customers.

BBDC also announced an exclusive five-year contract with Big A Drug Stores, which includes 15 Drug Emporium stores recently acquired by the Big A chain, providing $80 million in incremental revenues to Bergen annually. Additionally, BBDC renewed its contract with May's Drug Stores, which is expected to generate $100 million in revenues to Bergen annually. BBDC will continue to be the primary provider for pharmaceuticals to May's 39 stores in Northeast Oklahoma and Southwest Missouri.

During the quarter, the Drug Company and Longs Drug Stores successfully opened the first central fill facility to be jointly operated by a wholesaler and a retailer. The success of this new operation demonstrates BBDC's commitment to create and implement logistical solutions for its customers.

This central fill facility, Escalante Solutions, is now processing prescriptions for selected Longs stores in Northern California and Nevada. Escalante uses Automed(TM) robotic technology and PDX software solutions to help alleviate capacity issues caused by a growing pharmacist shortage and strong prescription growth. Escalante Solutions promotes accuracy in prescription filling and productivity improvements in the pharmacy operation, allowing community pharmacists to spend more time counseling patients.

BBDC continued to expand its Internet based applications and offerings. iBergen(SM), the Company's Internet portal for pharmaceutical services, was enhanced to include manufacturer and new product announcements, stock quotes, newsfeeds, on-line product information and generic usage analysis tools. In addition, the Company unveiled its first personalized community and content area on the site, designed for the unique needs of its GNP customers. The area is known as the GNP Community and serves the Company's more than 2000 independent Good Neighbor Pharmacies. BBDC enhanced the Catalog & Order Entry application on iBergen through a new version release, and introduced iScan(TM), a powerful barcode system. iScan optimizes the supply chain by providing efficiencies and accuracy in productivity through receiving and accounts payable matching. iScan is currently in use by select customers and will provide a technology platform for expanding barcode capabilities.

Enhancements to the Drug Company's electronic solutions for retail pharmacy introduced at its fifth annual Healthcare Congress and Manufacturers' Exposition held recently in Las Vegas were received enthusiastically by attendees. A Generic Summit was added to complement last year's successful Branded Rx Summit, providing an opportunity for one-on-one information exchange between pharmacists and major generic manufacturers. The 27 continuing education courses held over a two-day period had record attendance and included courses on subjects as diverse as the use of the Internet in retail pharmacy to compounding of special prescriptions.

Bergen Brunswig Specialty Group

BBSG delivered a 41% revenue gain for the quarter to $441.6 million and 34% to $1.2 billion for the nine months, relative to the prior year.

Growth was again driven by the unit's oncology division, which exceeded financial expectations and increased sales by more than 60% relative to last year. Much of the oncology division's success can be attributed to consistent execution in its core operations and sustained market penetration by its sales staff. Additional factors include uninterrupted membership growth of its physician services partner which added over 95 new accounts in the quarter.

Additionally, BBSG's vaccine business, Besse Medical, also contributed significantly to sales growth by increasing its sales 35% for the quarter, relative to last year. Much of the growth continues to be driven by the group's focus on the biotech markets, particularly in the area of rheumatology. The vaccine market continues to be challenged by manufacturing problems resulting in limited availability of many key vaccines and other injectable products.

BBSG's manufacturing services increased year-over-year sales by 30%, contributing to the specialty group's success in the quarter.

PharMerica Segment revenues were $336.8 million for the third quarter and $1.0 billion for the nine months ending June 30, 2001, representing an increase of 5% and 6% over the prior periods, respectively. PharMerica's operating earnings increased to $16.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2001, which compares to an operating loss of $1.7 million for the same quarter a year ago. For the nine months operating earnings increased 225% to $47.3 million.

PharMerica's EBITDA increased 155% to $23.5 million for the third quarter, compared to last year's EBITDA of $9.2 million. For the nine months ended June 30, 2001, EBITDA increased 47% compared to last year, to $69.8 million.

Operating expenses, as a percent of sales, were 30% for this year's third quarter comparing favorably to last year's 37%. For the nine months, operating expenses as a percent of sales improved to 31% compared to 36% last year. Improvement in bad debt expense and lower goodwill amortization were the primary reasons for these results; however, PharMerica's long term care business continues to see improvements in administrative and other expenses as well.

In the third quarter, PharMerica extended its agreement with its largest customer, Beverly Enterprises, through March of 2006. Beverly Enterprises represents approximately 24% of the Company's LTC revenue base. PharMerica is committed to partnering with Beverly, and its other major customers, to remove costs from the pharmacy delivery system while improving service and patient outcomes.

PharMerica has experienced cash collections for the third quarter and on a year-to-date basis of 103% of revenues and 100% of revenues, respectively. Gross and net days sales outstanding (DSO) for PharMerica were 72 and 50 days, respectively, at June 30, 2001. The gross and net DSOs were 90 and 71 days, respectively, at June 30, 2000.

PMSI, PharMerica's workers compensation and catastrophic care business that provides PBM services along with home delivery of pharmaceutical and medical products, continues to report substantial growth. Revenues for this division grew 37% in this year's third quarter compared to last year's third quarter. On a year-to-date basis, PMSI's revenues this year have increased 36%. PMSI continues to add new customers, principally the larger insurance carriers, reflecting the success of its business model in the marketplace.

Summary

``The strength of this quarter's financial results for each of our businesses illustrates the wisdom of our business strategies,'' commented Neil F. Dimick, Bergen's Chief Financial Officer. ``BBDC's sales growth is back in double digits; each of BBSG's divisions is experiencing rapid growth, led by its oncology unit; and PharMerica's earnings have stabilized and improved.

``We're confident that we will be able to meet our expectations for revenues and earnings growth of 10% and 30% respectively.''
