AmerisourceBergen Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2013 Results

October 31, 2013

Expects Fiscal 2014 Adjusted Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations to be in the range of $3.60 to $3.73

VALLEY FORGE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 31, 2013-- AmerisourceBergen Corporation (NYSE:ABC) today reported that in its fiscal year 2013 fourth quarter ended September 30, 2013, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 2.6 percent to $0.79, which excludes LIFO expense and warrant expense (net of related tax impact). Revenue increased 28.3 percent to $24.5 billion in the quarter. For the fiscal year 2013, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 6.1 percent to $3.14. Revenues increased 12.7 percent to $88.0 billion for the fiscal year. On the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.22 for the September quarter and $2.10 for fiscal 2013.

In the tables that follow, we present our GAAP results as well as a reconciliation of GAAP income from continuing operations to non-GAAP adjusted income from continuing operations for the September quarter and the fiscal year 2013. Fiscal 2012 results are presented on a GAAP basis only, and include a LIFO credit of $10.7 million in the September quarter, and an expense of $0.7 million for fiscal year 2012. There was no warrant expense in fiscal 2012.

“In our September quarter, we delivered strong results and successfully implemented the first phase of our new expanded contract with Walgreen Co.,” said Steven H. Collis, AmerisourceBergen President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our performance in the quarter and the full year, combined with the opportunities we have on the horizon, drive strong momentum heading into fiscal 2014. Our innovative programs and services, strategic relationship with Walgreens and Alliance Boots GmbH, operational excellence and financial discipline give us great confidence in our ability to continue to deliver tremendous value to our customers, suppliers, associates and shareholders.”

The comments below compare adjusted results from continuing operations for 2013 to GAAP results for 2012.

Summary of Quarterly Results

  • Revenue: In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, revenue was $24.5 billion, up 28.3 percent compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, reflecting a 34 percent increase in AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (ABDC) revenue, and a 12 percent increase in AmerisourceBergen Specialty Group (ABSG) revenue.
  • Gross Profit: Gross profit in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter was $721.5 million, a 1.1 percent increase over the same period in the previous year driven by revenue growth and strong performance in generic pharmaceuticals in ABDC, offset by a substantial increase in lower margin business. Gross profit in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter also included a $1.1 million gain from antitrust litigation settlements, compared with a $14.8 million gain in the same period a year ago. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased 79 basis points to 2.95 percent.
  • Operating Expenses: In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, operating expenses were $402.9 million, up 2.0 percent over the same period in the last fiscal year. The increase in operating expenses in the quarter was due primarily to expenses associated with on-boarding the new Walgreens business. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012 included employee severance, litigation and other costs totaling $2.1 million and $27.4, million respectively. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter were 1.65 percent compared with 2.07 percent in the same period in the previous fiscal year.
  • Operating Income: In the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter, operating income of $318.6 million was flat versus the prior year, as the increase in gross profit was offset by the increase in operating expenses. Operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased 37 basis points to 1.30 percent in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter compared with the previous year’s fourth quarter.
  • Tax Rate: The adjusted effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was 38.2 percent, up from 35.8 percent in the previous fiscal year’s fourth quarter. Going forward, we expect our annualized adjusted effective tax rate to be in the low 38 percent range.
  • Earnings Per Share: Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were up 2.6 percent to $0.79 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to $0.77 in the previous fiscal year’s fourth quarter, reflecting a reduction in diluted weighted average shares outstanding, and offset in part by a 2.3 percent decline in income from continuing operations.
  • Shares Outstanding: Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 were 235.1 million, down 4.6 percent from the previous fiscal year’s fourth quarter due primarily to share repurchases, net of option exercises.

Segment Discussion

The Pharmaceutical Distribution segment includes both AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation and AmerisourceBergen Specialty Group. Other includes AmerisourceBergen Consulting Services (ABCS) and World Courier.

Pharmaceutical Distribution Segment

In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013, Pharmaceutical Distribution revenues were $24.1 billion, an increase of 29 percent compared to the same quarter in the prior year. ABDC revenues increased 34 percent, due primarily to the on-boarding of the new Walgreens branded pharmaceuticals business and increased sales to our large PBM customer. ABSG revenues increased 12 percent, which was driven by strong performance in third party logistics and in our blood products, vaccine and physician office distribution businesses. Intrasegment revenues between ABDC and ABSG have been eliminated in the presentation of total Pharmaceutical Distribution revenue. Total intrasegment revenues were $934.2 million and $684.7 million in the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Operating income of $298.8 million in the September quarter of 2013 decreased 9 percent compared to the same period in the previous year due to additional expenses associated with on-boarding the new Walgreens branded pharmaceuticals business, a shift in customer mix towards lower margin business in both ABDC and ABSG, a decline in performance in our oncology business, and fewer new generic launches to offset those impacts.

Other

Revenues in Other were $433.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, an increase of 3 percent over the same period in the prior year. Operating income increased 24 percent to $21.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, with the majority of the increase provided by the strong performance in our consulting businesses.

Summary of Fiscal Year 2013

In fiscal year 2013, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $3.14, up 6.1 percent over the prior fiscal year GAAP diluted earnings per share. Revenue of $88.0 billion increased 12.7 percent over the last fiscal year. Operating income decreased 2.9 percent in fiscal 2013, driven primarily by an increase in operating expenses, and a shift in customer mix to lower margin business. Operating income margin decreased 23 basis points to 1.44 percent. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding in fiscal 2013 were 235.3 million, down 8.4 percent from the year-ago same period. The results of operations from AndersonBrecon and AmerisourceBergen Canada Corporation, both of which were divested in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, have been reported as discontinued operations.

Fiscal Year 2014 Expectations

Going forward, the Company will report adjusted earnings that exclude:

  • LIFO charges and credits;
  • Warrant expense;
  • Acquisition related expenses and intangibles amortization;
  • Special one-time employee severance, litigation, and other expenses; and
  • Gains from antitrust litigation settlements.

In addition, we will calculate our adjusted earnings per share for each period using a diluted weighted average share count which will exclude the accounting dilution resulting from the impact of the unexercised equity warrants.

On this new basis, the adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for fiscal 2013 were $3.21, up $0.07 from the reported adjusted earnings per share of $3.14. Employee severance, litigation and other of $23.5 million and intangibles amortization of $24.4 million, offset by gains from antitrust litigation settlements of $22.9 million, collectively, contributed to the $0.07 difference in adjusted earnings per share. There was no accounting dilution to our share count in fiscal 2013 resulting from the unexercised warrants.

Looking ahead, the Company expects adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in fiscal year 2014 to be in the range of $3.60 to $3.73, a 12 percent to 16 percent increase over the revised $3.21 in fiscal 2013. Key assumptions supporting that range are:

  • revenue growth in the range of 28 percent to 31 percent;
  • operating income growth in the 12 percent to 16 percent range;
  • operating margin decline in the high teens basis points range due to the on-boarding of significant new lower margin business;
  • free cash flow in the range of $500 to $700 million, with capital expenditures in the $300 million range; and
  • approximately $500 million in share repurchases, with the majority occurring in the second half of fiscal 2014, subject to market conditions.
