PHARMERICA CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

PharMerica Corporation together with its subsidiaries, (the "Corporation"), is a pharmacy services company that services healthcare facilities, provides pharmacy management services to hospitals, provides specialty infusion services to patients outside a hospital setting, and offers the only national oncology pharmacy in the United States. The Corporation is the second largest institutional pharmacy services company in the United States based on revenues and customer licensed beds under contract, operating  93 institutional pharmacies, 17 specialty home infusion pharmacies, and 5 specialty oncology pharmacies in 45 states.  The Corporation's customers are institutional healthcare providers, such as skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, hospitals, individuals receiving in-home care and patients with cancer.

Operating Segments

The Corporation consists of three operating segments: institutional pharmacy, specialty infusion services and specialty oncology pharmacy. Management believes the nature of the products and services are similar, the payers for the products and services are common among the segments and all segments operate in the healthcare regulatory environment. In addition, the segments are economically similar. Accordingly, management has aggregated the three operating segments into one reporting segment.

Principles of Consolidation

All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The Corporation has an investment in a long-term care pharmacy business that is accounted for by the equity method. This entity is not a variable interest entity and the Corporation's lack of majority voting rights precludes the Corporation from controlling this affiliate. Accordingly, the Corporation does not consolidate this affiliate, but rather applies the equity method of accounting. The Corporation's share of the net income or loss of this unconsolidated affiliate is included in operating expense.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements adjusted for acquisition related measurement period adjustments.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. It is the opinion of management that all necessary adjustments for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made and are of a normal recurring nature.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates are involved in collectability of accounts receivable, revenue recognition, inventory valuation, supplier rebates and the valuation of long-lived assets and goodwill. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the Corporation follows a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the Corporation to develop its own assumptions.

7

PHARMERICA CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:

A. Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

B. Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

C. Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).

The financial liabilities recorded at fair value at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016 are set forth in the tables below (dollars in millions):

As of December 31, 2015	Liability				Level 1			Level 2				Level 3				Valuation Technique
Financial Liability
Deferred Compensation Plan		$	(8.2	)		$	-		$	(8.2	)		$	-			A
Contingent Consideration			(11.5	)			-			-				(11.5	)		C
Mandatorily Redeemable Interest			(5.8	)			-			-				(5.8	)		C

As of March 31, 2016	Liability				Level 1			Level 2				Level 3				Valuation Technique
Financial Liability
Deferred Compensation Plan		$	(7.8	)		$	-		$	(7.8	)		$	-			A
Contingent Considerations			(7.6	)			-			-				(7.6	)		C
Mandatorily Redeemable Interest			(6.0	)			-			-				(6.0	)		C

The deferred compensation plan liability represents an obligation associated with the deferred compensation plan offered to eligible employees and members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The fair value of the liability associated with the deferred compensation plan is derived using pricing and other relevant information for investments in phantom shares of certain available investment options, primarily mutual funds. This liability is classified as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The contingent consideration represents future earn-outs associated with the Corporation's acquisition of an infusion business and a hospital services business both purchased in 2015. The fair values of the liabilities associated with the contingent consideration were derived using the income approach with unobservable inputs, which included future gross profit forecasts and present value assumptions, and there was little or no market data. The Corporation assessed the fair values of the liabilities as of the acquisition date and will assess quarterly thereafter until settlement.  These liabilities are classified as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The mandatorily redeemable interest represents a future obligation associated with the Corporation's acquisition of a specialty pharmacy business, OncoMed Specialty, LLC ("Onco"), purchased on December 6, 2013. The mandatorily redeemable interest is classified as a long-term liability and measured at fair value. The fair value was derived using the income approach with unobservable inputs, which included a future gross profit forecast and present value assumptions, and there was little or no market data.  The Corporation assessed and adjusted the mandatorily redeemable interest liability to estimated value at March 31, 2016.

For the year ended December 31, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were no transfers between the valuation hierarchy Levels 1, 2, and 3. The following table summarizes the change in fair value of the Corporation's contingent consideration and mandatorily redeemable interest identified as Level 3 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2016 (in millions):

	Contingent Consideration			Mandatorily Redeemable Interest
Beginning balance, December 31, 2014	$	1.1		$	8.3
Additions from business acquisitions		11.9			-
Subtractions from business acquisitions		(1.1	)		-
Change in fair value		(0.4	)		(2.5	)
Balance, December 31, 2015		11.5			5.8
Additions from business acquisitions		-			-
Contingent consideration payment		(3.9	)		-
Change in fair value		-			0.2
Balance, March 31, 2016	$	7.6		$	6.0

The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Corporation's debt approximates fair value due to the terms of the interest being set at variable market interest rates (Level 2).

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from Prescription Drug Plans ("PDPs") under Medicare Part D, institutional healthcare providers, the respective state Medicaid programs, third party insurance companies, and private payers. The Corporation's ability to collect outstanding receivables is critical to its results of operations and cash flows. To provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, the Corporation establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to the extent it is probable that a portion or all of a particular account will not be collected.

The Corporation has an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which relies on analytical tools, specific identification, and benchmarks to arrive at a reasonable allowance. No single statistic or measurement determines the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Corporation monitors and reviews trends by payer classification along with the composition of the Corporation's accounts receivable aging. This review is focused primarily on trends in private and other payers, PDPs, dual eligible co-payments, historic payment patterns of long-term care institutions, and monitoring respective credit risks. In addition, the Corporation analyzes other factors such as revenue days in accounts receivables, denial trends by payer types, payment patterns by payer types, subsequent cash collections, and current events that may impact payment patterns of the Corporation's long-term care institution customers. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been completed in accordance with the Corporation's policies.

The Corporation's accounts receivable and summarized aging categories are as follows (dollars in millions):

	December 31, 2015			March 31, 2016
Institutional healthcare providers	$	145.9		$	140.6
Medicare Part D		30.2			32.1
Private payer and other		26.8			24.7
Insured		31.1			30.7
Medicaid		12.6			13.6
Medicare		3.2			2.7
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(49.3	)		(44.9	)
	$	200.5		$	199.5
0 to 60 days		62.0	%		63.5	%
61 to 120 days		15.0	%		14.7	%
Over 120 days		23.0	%		21.8	%
		100.0	%		100.0	%

The following is a summary of activity in the Corporation's allowance for doubtful accounts (dollars in millions):

	Beginning Balance			Charges Included in Selling, General & Administrative Expenses			Write-offs				Ending Balance
Allowance for doubtful accounts:
Year ended December 31, 2015		$	58.1		$	7.9		$	(16.7	)		$	49.3
Three months ended March 31, 2016		$	49.3		$	3.2		$	(7.6	)		$	44.9

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Corporation reversed an allowance of $4.6 million related to a customer's outstanding receivable for which a settlement payment was received which significantly exceeded the existing net receivable.  This reversal is reflected in the "Charges Included in Selling, General & Administrative Expenses" column above.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges in the condensed consolidated financial statements represent amounts expensed for purposes of realigning corporate and pharmacy locations.

Mandatorily Redeemable Interest

The Corporation acquired 37.5% of the membership interests of Onco while also obtaining control of the business. The subsidiary is consolidated in the Corporation's condensed consolidated financial statements and the mandatorily redeemable interest is classified as debt within other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Recently Issued Accounting Prouncements

In March of 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 (ASU 2016-09) "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" intended to simplify the accounting for employee share-based payments. Under this guidance all excess tax benefits ("windfalls") and deficiencies ("shortfalls") related to employee stock compensation will be recognized within income tax expense. Under prior guidance windfalls were recognized to additional paid-in capital ("APIC") and shortfalls were only recognized to the extent they exceed the pool of windfall tax benefits.

The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any interim or annual period. The Corporation early adopted ASU 2016-09 effective for the three months ended March 31, 2016. As a result of the adoption a tax benefit of $1.0 million was recorded in the current quarter reflecting the excess tax benefits for the quarter. The adoption was on a prospective basis and therefore had no impact on prior years.

NOTE 2—ACQUISITIONS

2015 Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Corporation completed acquisitions of two long-term care businesses, two infusion businesses and one hospital services business (collectively the "2015 Acquisitions"), none of which were individually significant to the Corporation. The 2015 Acquisitions had an estimated purchase price of $83.5 million, comprised of a net cash payment of $75.9 million and an estimated fair value of contingent consideration of $7.6 million. The resulting amount of goodwill and identifiable intangibles related to these transactions in the aggregate were $48.5 million and $41.2 million, respectively. The Corporation believes the resulting amount of goodwill reflects the synergistic benefits of the acquisitions.  Tax deductible goodwill associated with the acquisitions was $41.4 million as of  December 31, 2015.  The net assets and operating results of the 2015 Acquisitions have been included in the Corporation's condensed consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition.

Pro forma financial statements are not presented on the 2015 Acquisitions as the results are not material to the Corporation's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, the Corporation incurred $3.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively, of acquisition-related costs, which have been classified as a component of merger, acquisition, integration costs and other charges.

NOTE 3—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES

As of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016 the carrying amount of goodwill was $371.0 million and $372.1 million, respectively.

The following table presents the components of the Corporation's finite lived intangible assets (dollars in millions):

Finite Lived Intangible Assets	Balance at December 31, 2015			Additions			Balance at March 31, 2016
Customer relationships	$	216.8		$	0.1		$	216.9

Therefore, debt issuance costs related to the Corporation's debt liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet is presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt obligation.  The Corporation retrospectively adjusted prior period amounts, which decreased other long-term assets and decreased long-term debt by $2.1 million in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015.

 The Corporation's indebtedness has the following maturities as of March 31, 2016 (dollars in millions):

NOTE 5—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Corporation maintains liabilities for certain of its outstanding investigations and litigation. In accordance with the provisions of U.S. GAAP for contingencies, the Corporation records a liability when it is probable that such a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. To the extent that the resolution of contingencies result in actual losses that differ from the Corporation's recorded liabilities, earnings will be charged or credited accordingly. The Corporation cannot know the ultimate outcome of the pending matters described below, and there can be no assurance that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the Corporation's condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. As a part of its ongoing operations, the Corporation is subject to various inspections, audits, inquiries, investigations and similar actions by third parties, as well as by government/regulatory authorities responsible for enforcing the laws and regulations to which the Corporation is subject. Further, under the federal False Claims Act, private parties have the right to bring qui tam, or "whistleblower," suits against companies that submit false claims for payments to, or improperly retain overpayments from, the government. The inherently unpredictable nature of legal proceedings may be impacted by various factors, including: (i) the damages sought in the proceedings are unsubstantiated or indeterminate; (ii) discovery is not complete; (iii) the proceeding is in its early stages; (iv) the matters present legal uncertainties; (v) significant facts are in dispute; (vi) a large number of parties are participating in the proceedings (including where it is uncertain how liability, if any, will be shared among defendants); or (vii) the proceedings present a wide range of potential outcomes.

The Corporation is the subject of certain investigations and is a defendant in a number of cases, including those discussed below.

On November 20, 2013, the complaint filed by a relator, Robert Gadbois, on behalf of the U.S. Government and various state governments, was unsealed by the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island against the Corporation alleging that the Corporation dispensed controlled and non-controlled substances in violation of the CSA and in violation of relevant state laws, and that as a result, the dispenses were not eligible for payment and that the claims the Corporation submitted to the Government were false within the meaning of the FCA. The U.S. Government and the various state governments declined to intervene in this case.   On October 3, 2014, the Corporation's motion to dismiss was granted by the court. The relator appealed the court's decision and on December 16, 2015, the First Circuit Court of Appeals granted the relator its appeal and remanded the case to the District Court to allow the relator to file a motion to supplement his complaint and to allow the District Court to rule upon that motion. On December 30, 2015, the Corporation filed with the First Circuit Court of Appeals a petition for a re-hearing en banc, which was denied on January 25, 2016.  The Corporation filed a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court on April 22, 2016 asking the Supreme Court to review the First Circuit's decision.  The First Circuit stayed the issuance of its mandate until the proceedings in the Supreme Court are final, effectively staying the case in the District Court until the Supreme Court decides the matter.  The Corporation otherwise intends to continue to defend the case vigorously.

On March 4, 2011, a relator, Mark Silver, on behalf of the U.S. Government and various state governments, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Corporation alleging that the Corporation violated the FCA and Federal Anti-Kickback Statute through its agreements to provide prescription drugs to nursing homes under certain Medicare and Medicaid programs. On February 19, 2013, the U.S. Government declined to intervene in the case. The complaint has been amended several times, most recently on November 12, 2013, and thereafter served upon the Corporation. On December 6, 2013, the Corporation moved to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted and on September 29, 2014, the court declined to dismiss the case, but limited the relevant time period for which claims could be brought against the Corporation.  On December 22, 2015, Silver and the Corporation filed a joint motion with the court for an order dismissing with prejudice all successor liability claims against the Corporation for or regarding the conduct of Chem Rx Corporation. The court has not yet ruled on the motion or entered the order of dismissal.  On March 4, 2016 and April 1, 2016, the Corporation filed motions to dismiss and for summary judgment, respectively, for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under the FCA prior public disclosure bar.  The court has not yet ruled on the motions.  The Corporation intends to vigorously defend itself against the remaining allegations in the case.

On September 10, 2014, the Corporation filed a Complaint in Jefferson Circuit Court in Louisville, Kentucky against AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation ("ABDC") for failure of ABDC to comply with certain pricing and rebate provisions of the Previous Prime Vendor Agreement ("Previous PVA").  The Corporation subsequently filed a First Amended Verified Complaint on September 26, 2014 asserting additional breaches of the Previous PVA.

As a result of ABDC's failure to comply with certain pricing and rebate provisions, the Corporation had recorded a receivable of $40.8 million related to these disputes at December 31, 2014.  Separately, as of December 31, 2014, the Corporation had recorded $12.2 million for additional rebates owing from ABDC which at that time the Corporation believed were not in dispute and had previously been paid by ABDC in all the prior quarters.  These receivables totaled $53.0 million and were included in prepaids and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014.  During the period of January 1, 2015 through March 31, 2015, an additional $19.3 million, net of payments received, of certain rebates and guarantees owed by ABDC under the Previous PVA were recognized, which brought the total gross receivable to $72.3 million at December 31, 2015.

On March, 2, 2015, the Corporation notified ABDC of its intent to terminate the Previous PVA effective April 1, 2015.  The Corporation also announced that it had entered into the Cardinal Health Prime Vendor Agreement ("Cardinal Health PVA") effective April 1, 2015.  On March 3, 2015, the Corporation received a letter from ABDC terminating the Previous PVA effective immediately based upon the Corporation's alleged failure to pay certain disputed miscellaneous charges and the Corporation's signing of the Cardinal Health PVA.  The Corporation believes ABDC did not have the right to immediately terminate the contract pursuant to the terms of the Previous PVA. On March 6 and March 13, 2015, the Corporation withheld from ABDC normal recurring payments for drug purchases of approximately $48.8 million.  On May 18, 2015, ABDC filed an Amended Counterclaim seeking additional financial damages against the Corporation and asserted claims against two counter-defendants.  On November 23, 2015, the Corporation filed its Third Amended Complaint against ABDC for additional financial damages, amounts overcharged by ABDC, and for certain rebates not paid by ABDC under the Previous PVA.

NOTE 5—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

On April 1, 2016, the Jefferson Circuit Court ruled that the Corporation could not set-off payment the amounts that ABDC owed the Corporation against amounts that ABDC had invoiced the Corporation.  Instead the Corporation must first pay ABDC and continue the litigation against ABDC to collect any amounts owed to the Corporation by ABDC upon the conclusion of the entire lawsuit. As a result, the Corporation owes approximately $48.8 million of payments, along with post-judgment  interest  for drug purchases in the first quarter of 2015. The Corporation intends to continue the litigation in the Jefferson Circuit Court against ABDC. On April 11, 2016, the Corporation filed a Motion to Alter and Amend the April 1, 2016 order of the Jefferson Circuit Court asking the judge to reconsider the final and appealable aspect of the order. If the April 1, 2016 order is not reconsidered, the Corporation intends to appeal the entire decision of the trial court to the Kentucky Court of Appeals. At its option, if the trial court does not reconsider its ruling, the Corporation may obtain a bond during the pendency to appeal in lieu of paying ABDC.  The Jefferson Circuit Court's ruling on the right to set-off does not in any way adversely affect the Corporation's claims against ABDC and the Corporation's ability to pursue all of its claims against ABDC in the Jefferson Circuit Court.

Amounts owed to and from ABDC were previously offset resulting in a net receivable of $23.5 million from ABDC in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 classified as long-term assets. As a result of the ruling on the right to set-off, the Corporation has grossed up the receivable from ABDC to $72.3 million and the payable to $48.8 million. Accordingly, the $72.3 million receivable from ABDC is reflected in other long-term assets and the $48.8 million payable is reflected in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016.

The Corporation has claims for additional damages resulting from ABDC's breaches of the Previous PVA. The Corporation intends to vigorously pursue its claims.  At this time, the Corporation is unable to determine the ultimate impact of these litigation proceedings on its condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.  The litigation with ABDC could continue for an extended period of time, likely longer than 12 months.   The Corporation cannot provide any assurances about the outcome of the litigation.

In addition, the Corporation is involved in certain legal actions and regulatory investigations arising in the ordinary course of business. At March 31, 2016, the Corporation had accrued approximately $27.0 million related to the pending legal actions and investigations.

NOTE 6—MERGER, ACQUISITION, INTEGRATION COSTS AND OTHER CHARGES

Merger, acquisition, integration costs and other charges combined were $3.8 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively.  These costs primarily relate to costs incurred prior to an acquisition such as professional advisory fees and the costs associated with integrating completed acquisitions into our business, such as IT transition and facility related costs.

NOTE 7—RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER CHARGES

In July 2013, the Corporation commenced the implementation of its restructuring plan as a result of the loss of two of the Corporation's significant customers, Kindred Healthcare Inc. and Golden Living. The plan was a major initiative primarily designed to optimize operational efficiency while ensuring that the Corporation remains well-positioned to serve its clients and achieve sustainable, long-term growth.  The Corporation's restructuring plan included steps to right size its cost structure by adjusting its workforce and facility plans to reflect anticipated business needs.  In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2015, the Corporation began a restructuring and centralization initiative related to its specialty pharmacy business.  The initiative is not expected to be material to the financial statements.

The Corporation recorded restructuring costs and other related charges of approximately of $0.1 million and $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively.  The restructuring charges primarily included severance pay, the buy-out of employment agreements, lease terminations, and other exit-related asset disposals, professional fees and facility exit costs.

The following table presents the components of the Corporation's restructuring liability (dollars in millions):

	Balance at December 31, 2015		Accrual		Utilized Amounts			Balance at March 31, 2016
Employee Severance and related costs	$	0.3	$	1.1	$	(0.6	)	$	0.8
Facility costs		0.7		0.3		(0.3	)		0.7
	$	1.0	$	1.4	$	(0.9	)	$	1.5

The liability at March 31, 2016 represents amounts not yet paid relating to actions taken in connection with the restructuring plan (primarily lease payments and severance costs).

NOTE 8—COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK, TREASURY STOCK, STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND OTHER BENEFITS

Treasury Stock Purchases

In August 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase of up to $25.0 million of the Corporation's common stock, of which $10.5 million was used. On July 2, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized an increase to the remaining portion of the existing share repurchase program that allows the Corporation to again repurchase up to a maximum of $25.0 million of the Corporation's common stock. Approximately $19.7 million remained available under the program as of March 31, 2016. Share repurchases under this authorization may be made in the open market through unsolicited or solicited privately negotiated transactions, or in such other appropriate manner, and may be funded from available cash or the revolving credit facility. The amount and timing of the repurchases, if any, would be determined by the Corporation's management and would depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions. Common stock acquired through the share repurchase program would be held as treasury shares and may be used for general corporate purposes, including reissuance in connection with acquisitions, employee stock option exercises or other employee stock plans. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be limited, terminated or extended at any time without prior notice. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Corporation repurchased no shares of common stock.

 The Corporation may redeem shares from employees upon the vesting of the Corporation's stock awards for minimum statutory tax withholding purposes and to cover option exercise costs. The Corporation redeemed 128,838 shares from the vesting of certain awards and exercise of certain stock options, for an aggregate price of approximately $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. These shares have also been designated by the Corporation as treasury stock.

NOTE 9—INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes is based upon the Corporation's estimate of annual taxable income or loss for each respective accounting period. The following table summarizes our provision for income taxes for the periods presented (dollars in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015				2016
Provision for income taxes		$	5.8			$	0.8
Total provision as a percentage of pre-tax income			37.9	%			16.3	%

The decrease in our provision for income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the comparable 2015 period was due to decreases in pre-tax income as well as certain non-deductible employee compensation costs and discrete events including the Corporation's early adoption of FASB ASU 2016-09 "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which resulted in a significant decrease to the tax provision for excess tax benefits of approximately $1.0 million.  The forecasted annual effective tax rates of 37.9%% and 36.8%% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, are higher than the federal statutory rate largely as a result of the combined impact of state and local taxes and various non-deductible expenses.

The Corporation derives a current federal and state income tax benefit from the impact of deductions associated with the amortization of tax deductible goodwill acquired through business combinations. The tax basis of the Corporation's tax deductible goodwill was approximately $171.1 million and $166.6 million at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively.  The future tax benefits of the tax-deductible goodwill are included in the Corporation's deferred tax assets.

The Corporation recognizes an asset or liability for the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. These temporary differences will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled. The Corporation also recognizes as deferred tax assets the future tax benefits from net operating loss carryforwards. As of March 31, 2016, the Corporation has $18.0 million ($6.3 million tax benefit) of federal net operating loss carryforwards available. These net operating loss carryforwards resulted from the stock acquisitions the Corporation completed in 2013 and 2014.  These net operating loss carryforwards are subject to limitations under IRC Section 382; however, the Corporation expects that it will be able to use the recorded amount which takes into account the limitations of the carryforwards.  The Corporation has state net operating loss carryforwards representing a tax benefit of $4.1 million, net of valuation allowances. The net operating losses have carryforward periods ranging from 1 to 20 years depending on the taxing jurisdiction.

A valuation allowance is provided for the Corporation's deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Corporation recognized net deferred tax assets totaling $21.1 million and $17.9 million at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively, net of state valuation allowances of $3.8 million.

The federal statute of limitations remains open for tax years 2012 through 2014. 

State tax jurisdictions generally have statutes of limitation ranging from three to five years. The Corporation is generally no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010. The state income tax impact of federal income tax changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification of IRS settlement to the states.

Denominator for earnings per diluted share - adjusted weighted average shares		30,733,381		30,917,192
Basic earnings per share	$	0.32	$	0.13
Earnings per diluted share	$	0.31	$	0.13
Unexercised employee stock options and unvested restricted shares excluded from the effect of dilutive securities above (a)		56		-

(a)     These unexercised employee stock options, unvested restricted shares and performance shares that have not yet met performance conditions are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

Stock options and restricted shares and units granted by the Corporation are treated as potential common shares outstanding in computing earnings per diluted share. Performance share units are treated as potential common shares outstanding in computing earnings per diluted share only when the performance conditions are met.

Common shares repurchased by the Corporation reduce the number of basic shares used in the denominator for basic and diluted earnings per share.

General

The condensed consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2016, reflect the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Corporation.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to "we," "us," "our," and "Corporation" refer to PharMerica Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Institutional Pharmacy Business

Our core business provides pharmacy products and services to residents and patients in skilled nursing facilities, nursing centers, assisted living facilities, hospitals, and other long-term alternative care settings. We purchase, repackage, and dispense prescription and non-prescription pharmaceuticals in accordance with physician orders and deliver such medication to healthcare facilities for administration to individual patients and residents. Depending on the specific location, we service healthcare facilities typically within a radius of 120 miles or less of our pharmacy locations at least once each day. We provide 24-hour, seven-day per week on-call pharmacist services for emergency dispensing, delivery, and/or consultation with the facility's staff or the resident's attending physician. We also provide various supplemental healthcare services that complement our institutional pharmacy services.

We offer prescription and non-prescription pharmaceuticals to our customers through unit dose or modified unit dose packaging, dispensing, and delivery systems, typically in a 14 to 30 day supply. Unit dose medications are packaged for dispensing in individual doses as compared to bulk packaging used by most retail pharmacies. The customers we serve prefer the unit dose delivery system over the bulk delivery system employed by retail pharmacies because it improves control over the storage and ordering of drugs and reduces errors in drug administration in healthcare facilities. Nursing staff in our customers' facilities administer the pharmaceuticals to individual patients and residents. The Corporation also utilizes an on-site dispensing system, with real time data transfer between the system and the Corporation, which provides timely medication administration in emergency and first dose situations. We also offer clinical pharmacy programs that encompass a wide range of drug therapy and disease management protocols, including protocols for anemia treatment, infectious diseases, wound care, nutritional support, renal dosing, and therapeutic substitution.

Our computerized dispensing and delivery systems are designed to improve efficiency and control over distribution of medications to patients and residents. We provide computerized physician orders and medication administration records for patients or residents on a monthly basis as requested. Data from these records are formulated into monthly management reports on patient and resident care and quality assurance. This system improves efficiencies in nursing time, reduces drug waste, and helps to improve patient outcomes.

Hospital Pharmacy Management Services

We also provide hospital pharmacy management services. These services generally entail the overall management of the hospital pharmacy operations, including the ordering, receipt, storage, and dispensing of pharmaceuticals to the hospital's patients pursuant to the clinical guidelines established by the hospital. We offer the hospitals a wide range of regulatory and financial management services, including inventory control, budgetary analysis, staffing optimization, and assistance with obtaining and maintaining applicable regulatory licenses, certifications, and accreditations. We work with the hospitals to develop and implement pharmacy policies and procedures, including drug formulary development and utilization management. We also offer clinical pharmacy programs that encompass a wide range of drug therapy and disease management protocols, including protocols for anemia treatment, infectious diseases, wound care, nutritional support, renal dosing, and therapeutic substitution. The hospital pharmacy management services business is comprised of hospital customers, of which, our largest service is to the majority of the Kindred Healthcare hospitals.

Consultant Pharmacist Services

Federal and state regulations mandate that long-term care facilities, in addition to providing a source of pharmaceuticals, retain consultant pharmacist services to monitor and report on prescription drug therapy in order to maintain and improve the quality of resident care. On September 30, 2008, the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General ("OIG") published OIG Supplemental Compliance Program Guidance for Nursing Homes. With quality of care being the first risk area identified, the supplemental guidance is part of a series of recent government efforts focused on improving quality of care at skilled nursing and long-term care facilities. The guidance contains compliance recommendations and an expanded discussion of risk areas. The guidance stressed that facilities must provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and should be mindful of potential quality of care problems when implementing policies and procedures on proper medication management. It further stated that facilities can reduce risk by educating staff on medication management and improper pharmacy kickbacks for consultant pharmacists and that facilities should review the total compensation paid to consultant pharmacists to ensure it is not structured in a way that reflects the volume or value of particular drugs prescribed or administered to residents.

We provide consultant pharmacist services to approximately 65% of our patients serviced. The services offered by our consultant pharmacists include:

· Monthly reviews of each resident's drug regimen to assess the appropriateness and efficiency of drug therapies, including the review of medical records, monitoring drug interactions with other drugs or food, monitoring laboratory test results, and recommending alternative therapies;

· Participation on quality assurance and other committees of our customers, as required or requested by such customers;

· Monitoring and reporting on facility-wide drug utilization;

· Development and maintenance of pharmaceutical policy and procedure manuals; and

· Assistance with federal and state regulatory compliance pertaining to resident care.

19

Medical Records

The Corporation provides medical records services, which includes the completion and maintenance of medical record information for patients in the Corporation's customers' facilities. The medical records services include:

· Real-time access to medication and treatment administration records, physician order sheets and psychotropic drug monitoring sheets;

· Online ordering to save time and resources;

· A customized database with the medication profiles of each resident's medication safety, efficiency and regulatory compliance;

· Web-based individual patient records detailing each prescribed medicine; and

· Electronic medical records to improve information to make it more legible and instantaneous.

Specialty Infusion Services

The Corporation provides specialty infusion services focused on providing complex pharmaceutical products and clinical services to patients in client facilities, hospice, and outside of hospital or nursing home settings. We offer high-touch clinical services to patients with acute or chronic conditions. The delivery of specialty infusion therapy requires comprehensive planning and monitoring which is provided through our registered nursing staff. Our nursing staff performs an initial patient assessment, provides therapy specific training and education, administers therapy and monitors for potential side effects. We also provide extensive clinical monitoring and patient follow-up to ensure patient therapy adherence and proactively manage patients' conditions. An in-network strategy facilitates easier decision-making for referral sources and provides us with the ability to pre-authorize patients, auto adjudicate, and bill electronically, enabling faster prescription turnaround.

Specialty Oncology Pharmacy

We provide dispensing of oncology drugs, care management and other related services to patients, oncology practices, and hospitals.  These services encompass clinical coordination and review, compliance with appropriate oncology protocols, patient assistance with outside funding, and timely delivery of medication.  We coordinate the administration of medications to the physician's office or directly to the patient at the appropriate point of treatment.  We work directly with the payers to bill insurance companies for the medication provided, ensuring all prior authorizations and approvals are obtained.  These services offer physicians an alternative to the traditional buy-and-bill distribution model, allowing them to outsource drug procurement, inventory management, and prescription administration.

Suppliers/Inventory

We obtain pharmaceutical and other products from Cardinal Health ("Cardinal Health") and other contracts negotiated directly with pharmaceutical manufacturers for discounted prices.  The Corporation entered into a Prime Vendor Agreement with Cardinal Health effective April 1, 2015 ("Cardinal Health PVA").  The initial term of the agreement is through June 30, 2018 and contains one year automatic renewal provisions.  The Cardinal Health PVA requires the Corporation to purchase certain levels of brand and non-injectable generic drugs from Cardinal Health.  The Cardinal Health PVA does provide flexibility for the Corporation to contract with other suppliers.  Under the agreement, the Corporation is entitled to certain rebates based on drug purchases.  The loss of a supplier could adversely affect our business if alternate sources of supply are unavailable or if available are significantly more expensive.

We seek to maintain an on-site inventory of pharmaceuticals and supplies to ensure prompt delivery to our customers.  Cardinal Health maintains local distribution facilities in most major geographic markets in which we operate.  In addition, we supply many of our pharmacies with select products from a distribution center operated by a third-party logistics company.

Brand to Generic Conversions

The following table summarizes the material brand-to-generic conversions expected to occur in 2016 through 2019:

2016	2017	2018	2019
Combivent (Q2)	Azilect (Q1)	Sensipar (Q1)*	Renexa (Q1)*
Crestor (Q2)*	Vytorin (Q2)
Cubicin (Q2)*	Zetia (Q2)
Kaletra (Q2)	Reyataz (Q4)
Tamiflu (Q3)	Seroquel XR (Q4)*
Banzel (Q4)
Norvir (Q4)
* These represent the most significant brand-to-generic conversions
(Number in parentheses refers to the expected quarter of conversion)

When a branded drug shifts to a generic, initial pricing of the generic drug in the market will vary depending on the number of manufacturers launching their generic version of the drug. Historically, a shift from brand-to-generic decreased our revenue and improved our gross margin from sales of these classes of drugs during the initial time period that a brand drug has a generic alternative. Third-party payers may reduce their reimbursements to the Corporation after the initial period. In addition, the number of generic manufacturers entering the market impacts the overall cost and reimbursement of generic drugs. This acceleration in the reimbursement reduction and the number of generic manufacturers generally result in margin compression. Due to the unique nature of the brand-to-generic conversion, management cannot estimate the future financial impact of the brand-to-generic conversions on the Corporation's results of operations.

20

Supplier and Manufacturer Rebates

We currently receive rebates from certain manufacturers and distributors of pharmaceutical products for achieving targets of market share or purchase volumes. Rebates are designed to prefer, protect, or maintain a manufacturer's products that are dispensed by the pharmacy under its formulary. Rebates for brand name products are generally based upon achieving a defined market share tier within a therapeutic class and can be based on either purchasing volumes or actual prescriptions dispensed. Rebates for generic products are more likely to be based on achieving purchasing volume requirements.

2010 Health Care Reform Legislation

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the reconciliation law known as the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act (combined we refer to both Acts as the "2010 Health Care Reform Legislation") were enacted in March 2010. State participation in the expansion of Medicaid under the 2010 Health Care Reform Legislation is voluntary. Three key provisions of the 2010 Health Care Reform Legislation that are relevant to the Corporation are: (i) the gradual modification to the calculation of the Federal Upper Limit ("FUL") for drug prices and the definition of Average Manufacturer's Price ("AMP"), (ii) the closure, over time, of the Medicare Part D coverage gap, which is otherwise known as the "Donut Hole," and (iii) short cycle dispensing. Regulations under the 2010 Health Care Reform Legislation are expected to continue being drafted, released, and finalized throughout the next several years.

FUL and AMP Changes

The reimbursement rates for pharmacy services under Medicaid are determined on a state-by-state basis subject to review by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") and applicable federal law.  Although Medicaid programs vary from state to state, they generally provide for the payment of certain pharmacy services, up to the established limits, at rates determined in accordance with each state's regulations.  Federal regulations and the regulations of certain states establish "upper limits" for reimbursement of certain prescription drugs under Medicaid (these upper limits being the "FUL").

The 2010 Health Care Reform Legislation amended the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (the "DRA") to change the definition of the FUL by requiring the calculation of the FUL as no less than 175% of the weighted average, based on utilization, of the most recently reported monthly AMP for pharmaceutically and therapeutically equivalent multi-source drugs available through retail community pharmacies nationally.

In addition, the definition of AMP changed to reflect net sales only to drug wholesalers that distribute to retail community pharmacies and to retail community pharmacies that directly purchase from drug manufacturers. Further, the 2010 Health Care Reform Legislation continues the current statutory exclusion of prompt pay discounts offered to wholesalers and adds three other exclusions to the AMP definition: (i) bona fide services fees; (ii) reimbursement for unsalable returned goods (recalled, expired, damaged, etc.); and (iii) payments from and rebates/discounts to certain entities not conducting business as a wholesaler or retail community pharmacy.

On February 1, 2016, CMS released a Final Rule titled Medicaid Program: Covered Outpatient Drugs. This Final Rule details the types of sales that are to be included and excluded in determining AMP. Moreover, consistent with the 2010 Health Care Reform Legislation, the Final Rule calculates the FULs at 175% of the weighted average, determined based on the basis of utilization, of the most recently reported monthly AMP. As an exception, however, if the AMP-based FUL is lower than the National Average Drug Acquisition Cost ("NADAC"), the FULs will be set at the drug's NADAC. This Final Rule became effective on April 1, 2016.

CMS published the draft FULs in accordance with the Final Rule for two months before publishing the final FULs. The final FULs became effective April 1, 2016 to coincide with the effective date of the Final Rule. States will have 30 days following the April 1, 2016 effective date to implement the FULs. CMS will update the FULs on a monthly basis thereafter, which will become effective on the first date of the month following their publication. Again, states will then have 30 days after the effective date of the monthly updates to implement the new FULs.

The Final Rule also changed how states reimburse pharmacies. The Final Rule now requires states to pay pharmacies based on the actual acquisition cost of the drug, as opposed to the estimated acquisition cost. Moreover, the Final Rule requires states to consider the sufficiency of both the ingredient cost reimbursement and dispensing fee reimbursement when proposing changes to either of these components of reimbursement for Medicaid covered drugs.

The Corporation will continue to analyze the effect of these changes on its business, results of operations, and liquidity.

Short Cycle Dispensing and Dispensing Fees

Pursuant to the 2010 Health Care Reform Legislation, Prescription Drug Plans ("PDPs") are required, under Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage prescription drug plans ("Medicare Advantage" or "MAPDs") to utilize specific, uniform dispensing techniques, such as weekly, daily, or automated dose dispensing, when dispensing covered Medicare Part D drugs to beneficiaries who reside in a long-term care facility to reduce waste associated with 30 to 90 day prescriptions for such beneficiaries. Pursuant to CMS issued regulation, beginning January 1, 2013, pharmacies dispensing to long-term care facilities must dispense no more than 14-day supplies of brand-name oral solid medications covered by Medicare Part D. The Corporation fully implemented short cycle dispensing on January 1, 2013. The impact of short cycle dispensing has not had a material adverse impact on the Corporation's results of operations.

Medicare Part D Changes

In a May 23, 2014 Final Rule titled "Medicare Program: Contract Year 2015 Policy and Technical Changes to the Medicare Advantage and the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Programs," CMS announced the Part D Prescriber Enrollment Requirement, which states that Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit plans may not cover drugs prescribed by providers who are not enrolled in (or validly opted out of) Medicare in an approved status, except in very limited circumstances. CMS has stated that it is delaying enforcement of the Part D Enrollment Requirements until February 1, 2017.

In a February 12, 2015 Final Rule entitled "Medicare Program: Contract Year 2016 Policy and Technical Changes to the Medicare Advantage and the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Programs," CMS finalized a regulation, effective January 1, 2016, prohibiting financial arrangements that penalize more efficient long-term care dispensing techniques (e.g., dispensing a 3 day supply over a 14 day supply) through pro-rated dispensing fees based on a day's supply or quantity dispensed.  CMS also finalized a requirement that, effective January 1, 2016, any differences in payment methodologies among long-term care pharmacies incentivize more efficient dispensing techniques.  The Corporation is unable to evaluate the full impact of these changes on its business at this time.

CIA and DEA MOA

In May 2015, the Corporation entered into a five-year Corporate Integrity Agreement ("CIA") with United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General ("OIG") and a Memorandum of Agreement ("MOA") with the Drug Enforcement Agency ("DEA") concurrent with the execution of settlement agreements with the OIG and the DEA settling alleged Controlled Substance Act ("CSA") violations and associated False Claims Act allegations.

The CIA requires the Corporation, among other things to : (i) create procedures designed to ensure it complies with the CSA and related regulations, (ii) retain an independent review organization to review the Corporation's compliance with the terms of the CIA and report to the OIG regarding that compliance; and (iii) provide training for certain Corporation employees as to the Corporation's requirements under the CSA.  If the Corporation fails to comply with the terms of the CIA, it may be required to pay certain monetary penalties.  Furthermore, if the Corporation commits a material breach of the CIA, the OIG may exclude the Corporation from participating in federal healthcare programs.  Any such exclusion would result in the revocation or termination of contracts and/or licenses and potentially have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects.

The MOA requires the Corporation to comply with all requirements of the CSA, specifically relating to the dispensing of scheduled prescription drugs.  If the Corporation fails to comply with the terms of the MOA, the DEA may suspend a Corporation's pharmacy DEA Certificate of Registration and begin an administrative hearing process pursuant to 21 U.S.C. Section 824.  Any such suspension would prohibit the Corporation's pharmacy from dispensing scheduled prescription drugs and would lead to the revocation or termination of contracts and/or licenses and potentially have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects.

22

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:

• It requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and

• Changes in the estimate or different estimates could have a material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

The critical accounting estimates discussed below are not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the Corporation's accounting policies that require estimates. Management believes that of the significant accounting policies discussed in Note 1 of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, the estimates discussed below involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Management believes the current assumptions and other considerations used to estimate amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements are appropriate. However, if actual experience differs from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the resulting changes could have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation.

Allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from PDPs under Medicaid Part D, long-term care institutions, respective state Medicaid programs, private payers and third party insurance companies. Our ability to collect outstanding receivables is critical to our results of operations and cash flows. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of our receivables to their estimated net realizable value. In addition, certain drugs dispensed are subject to being returned and the responsible paying parties are due a credit for such returns.

Our quarterly provision for doubtful accounts included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations is as follows (dollars in millions):

	2015								2016
	Amount				% of Revenues				Amount			% of Revenues
First Quarter		$	5.0			1.0	%	First Quarter		$	3.2		0.6	%
Second Quarter			3.0			0.6
Third Quarter			1.5			0.3
Fourth Quarter			(1.6	) *		(0.3	)

* In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Corporation reversed an allowance of $4.6 million related to a customer's outstanding receivable for which a settlement payment was received which significantly exceeded the existing net receivable.

The following table shows our pharmacy revenue days outstanding reflected in our net accounts receivable as of the quarters indicated:

	2015		2016
First Quarter		34.0		34.7
Second Quarter		35.4
Third Quarter		35.5
Fourth Quarter		34.7

The following table shows our summarized aging categories by quarter:

	2015												2016
	First			Second			Third			Fourth			First
0 to 60 days		61.4	%		60.0	%		58.9	%		62.0	%		63.5	%
61 to 120 days		15.8			15.7			15.2			15.0			14.7
Over 120 days		22.8			24.3			25.9			23.0			21.8

23

The following table shows our allowance for doubtful accounts as a percent of gross accounts receivable (dollars in millions):

	2015										2016
	Allowance			Gross Accounts Receivable			% of Gross Accounts Receivable				Allowance			Gross Accounts Receivable			% of Gross Accounts Receivable
First Quarter		$	59.7		$	259.2		23.0	%	First Quarter		$	44.9		$	244.4		18.3	%
Second Quarter			58.8			257.9		22.8
Third Quarter			57.7			253.5		22.8
Fourth Quarter			49.3			249.8		19.7

We recognize revenues at the time services are provided or products are delivered. A significant portion of our revenues are billed to PDPs under Medicare Part D, state Medicaid programs, long-term care institutions, third party insurance companies, and private payers. Some claims are electronically adjudicated through online processing at the point the prescriptions are dispensed such that our operating system is automatically updated with the actual amounts to be reimbursed. As a result, our revenues and the associated receivables are based upon the actual reimbursements to be received. For claims that are adjudicated on-line and are rejected or otherwise denied upon submission, the Corporation provides contractual allowances based upon historical trends, contractual reimbursement terms and other factors which may impact ultimate reimbursement. Amounts are adjusted to actual reimbursed amounts based upon cash receipts.

A summary of revenues by payer type follows (dollars in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015					2016
	Amount		% of Revenues			Amount		% of Revenues
Medicare Part D	$	237.2		46.3	%	$	244.7		46.7	%
Institutional healthcare providers		121.9		23.9			118.3		22.6

Total	$	511.6		100.0	%	$	524.5		100.0	%

Inventory and cost of drugs dispensed

We have inventory located at each of our institutional pharmacy, specialty infusion, and specialty oncology locations.  The Corporation's inventory is valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market.  The inventory consists of prescription drugs, over the counter products and intravenous solutions. Our inventory relating to controlled substances is maintained on a manually prepared perpetual system to the extent required by the Drug Enforcement Agency and state board of pharmacies. All other inventory is maintained on a periodic system, through the performance of, at a minimum, quarterly physical inventories at the end of each quarter. All inventory counts are reconciled to the balance sheet account and differences are adjusted through cost of goods sold. In addition, we record an amount of potential returns of prescription drugs based on historical rates of returns and record an estimate for rebates associated with inventory remaining at the end of each period.

As of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, our inventories were $155.2 million and $118.5 million, respectively.

  The inventory days on hand were as follows for the periods presented:

	2015		2016
First Quarter		26.1		24.4
Second Quarter		29.6
Third Quarter		25.7
Fourth Quarter		32.9

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Our intangible assets are comprised primarily of trade names, customer relationship assets, and non-compete agreements.

Our goodwill as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016 was $371.0 million and $372.1 million, respectively.

The Corporation's policy is to perform a qualitative assessment of its institutional pharmacy and a quantitative assessment of its specialty infusion and specialty oncology reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  The Corporation performed the qualitative assessment of its institutional pharmacy reporting unit at December 31, 2015 and did not find it necessary to perform the first step of the two-step impairment analysis.  The Corporation also performed the quantitative assessments as of December 31, 2015 for its specialty infusion and specialty oncology reporting units.  The specialty infusion and specialty oncology reporting unit's fair value as calculated were approximately  23.8% and 175.7%, respectively, greater than current book value.

There were no impairment triggering events during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Revenue per prescription dispensed: Represents the revenue divided by the total prescriptions dispensed.

Results of Operations

The following table presents selected condensed consolidated comparative results of operations and statistical information for the periods presented (dollars in millions, except per prescription and per patient amounts, and prescriptions in thousands):

	Quarter Ended

Generic dispensing rate		85.3	%					1.3	%	1.5	%		86.6	%

Revenues

Revenues increased $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was driven by an  increase in revenues associated with the Corporation's specialty pharmacy businesses partially offset by lower Medicare Part D reimbursement in the long-term care pharmacy business. The increase of $12.9 million is comprised of a favorable rate variance of approximately $37.5 million or $4.15 increase per prescription dispensed, partially offset by an unfavorable volume variance of approximately $24.6 million or 406,000 less prescriptions dispensed.  The revenue per prescription dispensed increase was due to the increased volume in the Corporation's specialty pharmacy businesses, which carry higher revenue per script, and branded drug inflation.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $82.0 million or $9.48 per prescription dispensed compared to $88.6 million or $9.79 per prescription dispensed for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in gross profit was driven by higher drug costs under the Cardinal Health PVA, the lower gross profit on the specialty pharmacy businesses, and lower Medicare Part D reimbursement.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $57.0 million, or 10.9% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $59.0 million, or 11.5% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease of $2.0 million was due to cost improvements and lower bad debt expense.

25

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense was $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Depreciation expense decreased $0.5 million, due primarily to some assets becoming fully depreciated prior to the first quarter of 2016.

Amortization expense was $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase of $1.6 million was due primarily to the amortization expense recognized on intangibles acquired through the 2015 Acquisitions.

Settlement, Litigation and Other Related Charges

Settlement, litigation and other related charges were $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. These costs relate to the Corporation's defense and settlement of certain governmental investigations and other litigation.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges were $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.These costs are part of the Corporation's restructuring and centralization initiative related to its specialty pharmacy business.

Merger, Acquisition, Integration Costs and Other Charges

Merger, acquisition, integration costs and other charges were $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was related to costs associated with the 2015 Acquisitions.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to the net activity associated with the mandatorily redeemable interest liability, along with a higher outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2016.

Tax Provision

The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 16.3%, comprised of the 35% federal statutory rate, 2.7% for the state rate, (0.9)% for permanent differences, and (20.5)% for discrete events.  The favorable discrete event is the result of the Company's early adoption of FASB ASU 2016-09 "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" during the quarter.  As a result of the adoption, approximately $1.0 million of excess tax benefits was recorded to the provision during the quarter.  Excluding the impact of discrete events and other nonrecurring items, the provision for income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax income would have been 36.7% and 37.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 respectively.  The decrease in the effective tax rate excluding the impact of the discrete events and nonrecurring items between the two periods was primarily the result of a decrease in pre-tax book income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows - The following table presents selected data from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented (dollars in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2016
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	44.3		$	62.3
Net cash used in investing activities		(25.0	)		(12.1	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(27.4	)		(47.8	)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents		(8.1	)		2.4
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		33.3			23.1
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	25.2		$	25.5

Operating Activities – Cash provided by operating activities aggregated $62.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $44.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to a decrease in inventory purchases and a higher accounts payable balance due to the timing of the weekly Cardinal Health PVA payment. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2015, $48.8 million of ABDC drug purchase payments were withheld.

Investing Activities – Cash used in investing activities aggregated $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $25.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is due to less cash needed to complete acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 2015, as no acquisitions were completed in the first quarter of 2016.

Financing Activities – Cash used in financing activities aggregated $47.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $27.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in cash used in financing activities is due primarily to the $45.0 million payments made on the revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $25.0 million payments in the same period in 2015, along with a decrease in shares withheld for tax payments resulting from restricted shares vestings.

Credit Agreement

On September 17, 2014, the Corporation entered into a $535.0 million Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement consists of a $225.0 million term loan facility and a $310.0 million revolving credit facility. The terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement are customary to facilities of this nature. Unless terminated earlier, the Credit Agreement will mature on September 17, 2019, and the principal amount outstanding thereunder, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owed thereunder, if any, will be payable in full on such date

The Credit Agreement requires quarterly term loan principal payments in an amount of $2.8 million on each quarter beginning September 2015 through September 2019. The final principal repayment installment of term loans shall be repaid on the term maturity date, September 17, 2019. In addition, the term loan is subject to certain prepayment obligations relating to certain asset sales, certain casualty losses and the incurrence of certain indebtedness.

The Corporation had a total of $216.5 million of term debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $162.0 million outstanding under the revolving portion of the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2016. The Credit Agreement provides for the issuance of letters of credit which, when issued, constitute usage and reduce availability on the revolving portion of the Credit Agreement. The amount of letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2016 was $2.8 million. After giving effect to the letters of credit and amounts outstanding under the revolving credit agreement, total availability under the revolving credit facility was $145.2 million as of March 31, 2016.

The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require us to satisfy certain financial tests and maintain certain financial ratios.  The Corporation was compliant with all debt covenant requirements at March 31, 2016.

Drug Wholesaler Agreement

We obtain pharmaceutical and other products from Cardinal Health pursuant to the Cardinal Health PVA effective April 1, 2015.  The Corporation also obtains pharmaceutical and other products for discounted prices directly from pharmaceutical manufacturers.  While the loss of a supplier could adversely affect our business if alternate sources of supply are unavailable or if available are significantly more expensive, numerous sources of supply are generally available to us and we have not experienced any difficulty in obtaining pharmaceuticals or other products and supplies to conduct our business.

The Corporation seeks to maintain an on-site inventory of pharmaceuticals and supplies to ensure prompt delivery to our customers.  Cardinal Health maintains local distribution facilities in most geographic markets in which we operate.

Treasury Stock

In August 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase of up to $25.0 million of the Corporation's common stock, of which $10.5 million was used. On July 2, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized an increase to the remaining portion of the existing stock repurchase program that allows the Corporation to again repurchase up to a maximum of $25.0 million of the Corporation's common stock. Approximately $19.7 million remained available under the program as of March 31, 2016. Share repurchases under this authorization may be made in the open market through unsolicited or solicited privately negotiated transactions, or in such other appropriate manner, and may be funded from available cash or the revolving credit facility. The amount and timing of the repurchases, if any, would be determined by the Corporation's management and would depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions. Common stock acquired through the share repurchase program would be held as treasury shares and may be used for general corporate purposes, including reissuances in connection with acquisitions, employee stock option exercises or other employee stock plans. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be limited, terminated or extended at any time without prior notice. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Corporation repurchased no shares of common stock.

The Corporation may redeem shares from employees upon the vesting of the Corporation's stock awards for minimum statutory tax withholding purposes and to cover option exercise costs. The Corporation redeemed 128,838 shares from the vesting of certain awards and the exercise of certain stock options, for an aggregate price of approximately $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. These shares have also been designated by the Corporation as treasury stock.

As of March 31, 2016, the Corporation had a total of 2,905,713 shares held as treasury stock.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures for Measuring Quarterly Results

The Corporation calculates Adjusted EBITDA as provided in the reconciliation below and calculates Adjusted EBITDA Margin by taking Adjusted EBITDA and dividing it by revenues adjusted for the contractual amount associated with the California Medicaid estimated recoupment. The Corporation calculates and uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure. The measurement is used in concert with net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities, which measure actual cash generated in the period. In addition, the Corporation believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are supplemental measurement tools used by analysts and investors to help evaluate overall operating performance and the ability to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is used in conjunction with the Corporation's debt leverage ratio and this calculation sets the applicable margin for the quarterly interest charge. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is not the same calculation as this Adjusted EBITDA table. Adjusted EBITDA presented herein does not represent funds available for the Corporation's discretionary use and is not intended to represent or to be used as a substitute for net income (loss) or cash flows from (used in) operating activities data as measured under U.S. GAAP. The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA but included in the calculation of the Corporation's reported net income (loss) and cash flows from (used in) operating activities are significant components of the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance. The Corporation's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with calculations of EBITDA used by other companies. The following are reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to the Corporation's net income (loss) and net operating cash flows for the periods presented.

The Corporation calculates and uses adjusted diluted earnings per share, which is exclusive of the impact of merger, acquisition, integration costs and other charges, settlement, litigation costs and other charges, Hurricane Sandy disaster costs (recoveries), restructuring and impairment charges, California Medicaid recoupment, amortization of intangible assets, and impact of discrete items on tax provision ("the Excluded Items") as an indicator of its core operating results. The measurement is used in concert with net income and diluted earnings per share, which measure actual earnings per share generated in the period. The Corporation believes the exclusion of these charges in expressing earnings per share provides management with a useful measure to assess period to period comparability and is useful to investors in evaluating the Corporation's operating results from period to period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share after giving effect to the Excluded Items does not represent the amount that effectively accrues directly to stockholders (i.e., such costs are a reduction in earnings and stockholders' equity) and is not intended to represent or to be used as a substitute for diluted earnings per share as measured under U.S. GAAP. The Excluded Items are significant components of the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance. The following is a reconciliation of adjusted diluted earnings per share to the Corporation's U.S. GAAP earnings (loss) per diluted common share for the periods presented.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

During the reporting period, there have been no material changes in the disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7a in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Corporation has carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation's "disclosure controls and procedures" as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are designed so that information required to be disclosed in the Corporation's reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. The Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are also intended to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2016, the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Corporation files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and such information is accumulated and communicated as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In August 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $25.0 million of the Corporation's common stock, of which $10.5 million was used. On July 2, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized an increase to the remaining portion of the existing share repurchase program that allows the Corporation to again repurchase up to a maximum of $25.0 million of the Corporation's common stock.  Approximately, $19.7 million remained available under the program as of March 31, 2016.  The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be limited, terminated, or extended at any time without prior notice.  The Corporation did not repurchase any common stock shares under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Additionally, the Corporation may redeem shares from employees upon vesting of the Corporation's stock awards for minimum statutory tax withholding purposes and to cover option exercise costs.  The Corporation redeemed 128,838 shares from the vesting of certain awards and the exercise of certain stock options, for an aggregate price of approximately $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016.  These shares have been designated by the Corporation as treasury stock.

The following table summarizes our share repurchase activity by month for the three months ended March 31, 2016:

Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased				Weighted Average Price Paid per Share			Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of a Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (2)		Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that may yet be Purchased under the Plans or Programs
										(in millions)

(1) The Corporation repurchased 128,838 shares of common stock in connection with the vesting of certain stock awards to cover minimum statutory withholding taxes.

(2) On August 24, 2010, the Board of Directors announced a share repurchase program whereby the Corporation is authorized to purchase up to $25.0 million of the Corporation's common stock, of which $10.5 million was used.

PHARMERICA CORPORATION

SUMMARY OF

2016 SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM – CEO

AND

2016 SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM

2016 Short-Term Incentive Program – CEO

On March 17, 2016, the Board of Directors of PharMerica Corporation (the "Corporation"), upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted the 2016 Short-Term Incentive Program (the "CEO STIP") under the PharMerica Corporation 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Omnibus Plan"), for the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gregory Weishar. The CEO STIP provides for a performance-based annual cash award to Mr. Weishar.

Performance Cycle. The STIP performance cycle is for the current year, beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending on December 31, 2016.

Maximum Award. If the Corporation's Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) is equal to or greater than a target Adjusted EBITDA for the 2016 fiscal year, then Mr. Weishar is eligible to receive a payment under the CEO STIP equal to the lesser of (i) 2.2% of Adjusted EBITDA for the 2016 fiscal year or (ii) $2 million (the "Maximum Award"). The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may decrease the Maximum Award based on its assessment of the Corporation's performance, the Chief Executive Officer's individual performance, or any other factors it considers relevant, however in no event may the Compensation Committee reduce the Maximum Award below the annual bonus amount for the Chief Executive Officer (the "Bonus Amount").

Bonus Amount. The target Bonus Amount for Mr. Weishar is 125% of his 2016 base salary. Fifty percent (50%) of the target Bonus Amount is based on the Corporation's Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below), twenty percent (20%) of the target Bonus Amount is based on the Corporation's adjusted diluted earnings per share ("Adjusted Diluted EPS") and thirty percent (30%) of the target Bonus Amount is based on individual performance goals.

The Corporation's performance will be measured by comparing the Corporation's annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other amounts as reported in the Corporation's disclosures in its Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 ("Adjusted EBITDA"), to a target Adjusted EBITDA for the entire 2016 fiscal year set by the Compensation Committee and by comparing the Corporation's Adjusted Diluted EPS at the end of the performance cycle to a target end-of-performance cycle Adjusted Diluted EPS set by the Compensation Committee.  Individual performance will be measured by comparing certain individual performance metrics to the target individual performance metrics determined by the Compensation Committee.

The actual Bonus Amount is based on the percentage of the performance target achieved.

Generally, the percentage of the Bonus Amount earned at the end of the performance cycle based on the Adjusted EBITDA performance target will be determined according to the following schedule; however the actual Bonus Amount will be interpolated between the percentages set forth in the chart based on actual results:

Adjusted EBITDA Performance Achievement	Payout Level
< 80.0% of Performance Target	0.0% of Award Target
80.0% of Performance Target	40.0% of Award Target
90.0% of Performance Target	70.0% of Award Target
96.0% of Performance Target	88.0% of Award Target
100.0% of Performance Target	100.0% of Award Target
105.0% of Performance Target	118.8% of Award Target
110.0% of Performance Target	137.5% of Award Target
115.0% of Performance Target	156.3% of Award Target
120.0% of Performance Target	175.0% of Award Target
> 120.0% of Performance Target	175.0% of Award Target

Generally, the percentage of the award earned at the end of the performance cycle based on the percentage of the Adjusted Diluted EPS performance target achieved shall be determined according to the following schedule; however, the actual CEO STIP award payout will be interpolated between the percentages set forth in the chart based on actual results:

Adjusted Diluted EPS Performance Achievement	Payout Level
< 85.0% of Performance Target	0.0% of Award Target
85.0% of Performance Target	50.0% of Award Target
94.0% of Performance Target	80.0% of Award Target
100.0% of Performance Target	100.0% of Award Target
109.0% of Performance Target	130.0% of Award Target
115.0% of Performance Target	150.0% of Award Target

Also, the Corporation must at least meet threshold Adjusted EBITDA of 80% of the target Adjusted EBITDA amount in order for any payment to be made under the individual/group performance-based component.

2016 Short-Term Incentive Program

On March 17, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Corporation, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted the 2016 Short-Term Incentive Program (the "STIP") under the Omnibus Plan. The STIP provides for performance-based annual cash awards to the Corporation's executive officers, and certain other officers and employees of the Corporation. The STIP advances the Corporation's commitment to performance-based compensation practices by providing participants an opportunity to earn annual cash bonuses upon achievement of certain pre-established short-term performance objectives.

Eligibility. Officers and employees of the Corporation may receive STIP cash awards as determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee.

Performance Cycle. The STIP performance cycle is for the current year, beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending on December 31, 2016.

Award Targets. The amount of the awards under the STIP are based on individual participant bonus targets. Individual participant bonus targets are established for each participant by the Compensation Committee, in the case of the senior executive officers reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, and by the Chief Executive Officer, for other participants, based upon a determination of the appropriate bonus target amounts which will enable the Corporation to remain competitive, to retain and recruit top employees, and to align such employee's interests with certain strategic initiatives of the Corporation.  Individual non-executive participant bonus targets range from 5% to 100% of base salary on December 31, 2016, with targets for the Corporation's executive officers between 25% and 125% of base salary.

The Compensation Committee established the bonus targets under the STIP for the Corporation's fiscal 2015 named executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, as follows:

Executive	Title	Bonus Target
David Froesel	Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer	80% of base salary
Suresh Vishnubhatia	Executive Vice President of Long Term Care Operations	80% of base salary
Robert McKay	Senior Vice President of Purchasing and Trade Relations	65% of base salary
Thomas Caneris	Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary	70% of base salary

Performance Criteria. The performance criteria under the STIP is divided into company performance-based components and individual/group performance-based components for different employees. The breakdown for the Named Executive Officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, is as set forth in the chart below.

Executive	Title	Company Performance Adjusted EBITDA			Company Performance Adjusted Diluted EPS			Individual/Group Performance
David Froesel	Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer		50	%		20	%		30	%
Suresh Vishnubhatia	Executive Vice President of Long Term Care Operations		50	%		20	%		30
Robert McKay	Senior Vice President of Purchasing and Trade Relations		50	%		0	%		50	%
Thomas Caneris	Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary		50	%		0	%		50	%

Under the STIP for Executive Vice Presidents, company performance will be measured by comparing the Corporation's Adjusted EBITDA at the end of the performance cycle to a target end-of-performance cycle Adjusted EBITDA set by the Compensation Committee and by comparing the Corporation's Adjusted Diluted EPS at the end of the performance cycle to a target end-of-performance cycle Adjusted Diluted EPS set by the Compensation Committee.  Under the STIP for Senior Vice Presidents, company performance will be measured by comparing the Corporation's Adjusted EBITDA to a target Adjusted EBITDA for the entire 2016 fiscal year set by the Compensation Committee.  Individual/group performance will be measured by comparing certain individual/group performance metrics to target individual/group performance metrics established by the Corporation's Compensation Committee in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer for the named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer.

Award Payouts. Award payout levels are based on the percentage of the performance target achieved. Generally, the percentage of the award earned at the end of the performance cycle based on the Adjusted EBITDA performance target will be determined according to the following schedule; however, the actual award payout will be interpolated between the percentages set forth in the chart based on actual results:

Performance Achievement	Payout Level
< 80.0% of Performance Target	0.0% of Award Target
80.0% of Performance Target	40.0% of Award Target
90.0% of Performance Target	70.0% of Award Target
96.0% of Performance Target	88.0% of Award Target
100.0% of Performance Target	100.0% of Award Target
105.0% of Performance Target	118.8% of Award Target
110.0% of Performance Target	137.5% of Award Target
115.0% of Performance Target	156.3% of Award Target
120.0% of Performance Target	175.0% of Award Target
> 120.0% of Performance Target	175.0% of Award Target

Generally, the percentage of the award earned at the end of the performance cycle based on the percentage of the Adjusted Diluted EPS performance target achieved shall be determined according to the following schedule; however, the actual award payout will be interpolated between the percentages set forth in the chart based on actual results:

Performance Achievement	Payout Level
< 85.0% of Performance Target	0.0% of Award Target
85.0% of Performance Target	50.0% of Award Target
94.0% of Performance Target	80.0% of Award Target
100.0% of Performance Target	100.0% of Award Target
109.0% of Performance Target	130.0% of Award Target
115.0% of Performance Target	150.0% of Award Target

Under the STIP, the Corporation must at least meet threshold Adjusted EBITDA of 80% of Adjusted EBITDA target in order for any payment to be made to a Named Executive Officer under the individual/group performance-based components of the STIP.

 Payment of Awards. Payment of STIP awards will be made in cash. Awards will be paid on a specific date by which the Compensation Committee reasonably expects that the performance target applicable to such award was met. The Corporation will make the payment of the STIP awards to participants as soon as administratively practicable following the date of the award determination.

Vesting and Forfeiture. STIP participants must remain continuously employed full-time by the Corporation until the award payment date in order to be entitled to receive a payout of an STIP award.  Exceptions may be provided for termination of employment by reason of death, disability, without cause, retirement and change in control.

Other Terms & Provisions. STIP participants are not permitted to transfer STIP awards, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Corporation is entitled to withhold from any payments of awards under the STIP any and all amounts required to be withheld for federal, state and local withholding taxes. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to change terms and conditions of STIP awards as it deems necessary to ensure that the STIP awards satisfy all requirements for "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.

SUMMARY OF

2016 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM

2016 Long-Term Incentive Program

On March 17, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Corporation, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Program (the "LTIP") under the Omnibus Plan to provide restricted stock units and performance share unit awards to the Corporation's executives and certain other officers and employees based on pre-established performance objectives and goals. The LTIP advances the Corporation's commitment to performance-based compensation practices by providing participants an opportunity to earn equity-based awards upon the achievement of certain pre-established long-term performance objectives. The LTIP also is designed to drive consistent growth of the Corporation over a multiple-year performance period.

Performance Cycle. LTIP performance cycle begins on January 1, 2016 and ends on December 31, 2018.

Award Targets. The amount of the awards under the LTIP are based on individual participant bonus targets and company performance criteria. Individual participant bonus targets are established by the Compensation Committee for each participant based upon the Compensation Committee's determination of the appropriate bonus target amounts that will enable the Corporation to remain competitive and retain and recruit top employees.

The Compensation Committee established the bonus targets under the LTIP for the Corporation's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and other fiscal 2015 Named Executive Officers as follows:

Executive	Title	Bonus Target
Gregory S. Weishar	Chief Executive Officer	250% of base salary
David Froesel	Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer	175% of base salary
Suresh Vishnubhatia	Executive Vice President of Long Term Care Operations	175% of base salary
Robert McKay	Senior Vice President of Purchasing and Trade Relations	115% of base salary
Thomas Caneris	Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary	138% of base salary

The Compensation Committee established the 2016 LTIP awards for the 2015 Named Executive Officers in the following amounts as a percentage of the bonus target: 50% restricted stock units and 50% performance share units.

On March 17, 2016, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, awarded restricted stock units under the LTIP for the Corporation's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and other 2015 Named Executive Officers as follows:

Executive	Title	Restricted Stock Units (50% of Bonus Target)
Gregory S. Weishar	Chief Executive Officer		57,841
David Froesel	Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer		22,324
Suresh Vishnubhatia	Executive Vice President of Long Term Care Operations		16,086
Robert McKay	Senior Vice President of Purchasing and Trade Relations		8,846
Thomas Caneris	Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary		11,548

Performance Criteria. The LTIP performance criteria for the performance share units are tied to company performance. With respect to all Named Executive Officers, company performance will be measured for purposes of the performance share units by comparing the Corporation's annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other amounts as reported in the Corporation's disclosures in its Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 ("Adjusted EBITDA"), to a target end-of-performance cycle Adjusted EBITDA set by the Compensation Committee and by comparing the Corporation's adjusted diluted earnings per share ("Adjusted Diluted EPS") at the end of the performance cycle to a target end-of-performance cycle Adjusted Diluted EPS set by the Compensation Committee. With respect to all Named Executive Officers, the Adjusted EBITDA target accounts for 70% of their respective performance target and the remaining 30% is determined by achievement of a target measure of Adjusted Diluted EPS.

Award Payouts. Award payouts for the performance share units are based on the percentage of the performance target achieved. Generally, the percentage of the award earned at the end of the performance cycle based on the Adjusted EBITDA performance target shall be determined according to the following schedule; however, the actual LTIP award payout will be interpolated between the percentages set forth in the chart based on actual results:

Performance Level	Payout Level
< 85.0% of Performance Target	0.0% of Award Target
85.0% of Performance Target	50.0% of Award Target
91.0% of Performance Target	70.0% of Award Target
100.0% of Performance Target	100.0% of Award Target
109.0% of Performance Target	130.0% of Award Target
115.0% of Performance Target	150.0% of Award Target
> 115.0% of Performance Target	150.0% of Award Target

Generally, the percentage of the award earned at the end of the performance cycle based on the percentage of the Adjusted Diluted EPS performance target achieved shall be determined according to the following schedule; however, the actual LTIP award payout will be interpolated between the percentages set forth in the chart based on actual results:

Performance Level	Payout Level
< 85.0% of Performance Target	0.0% of Award Target
85.0% of Performance Target	50.0% of Award Target
91.0% of Performance Target	70.0% of Award Target
100.0% of Performance Target	100.0% of Award Target
109.0% of Performance Target	130.0% of Award Target
115.0% of Performance Target	150.0% of Award Target
> 115.0% of Performance Target	150.0% of Award Target

Award Agreements. Awards of restricted stock units and performance share units are made under the LTIP pursuant to award agreements with each recipient on the terms described in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Payment of Awards. Performance share unit awards shall be made in stock and will be distributed on a specific date by which the Compensation Committee reasonably expects it will be able to determine whether and the extent that the performance target applicable to such award was met. The Corporation will make the distribution of the performance share unit awards to participants as soon as administratively practicable following the date of the award determination.

Vesting and Forfeiture. Recipients of LTIP awards generally must remain continuously employed full-time by the Corporation until the date designated for payout under the applicable award agreement for the LTIP period. Exceptions may be provided for termination of employment by reason of death, disability, without cause, retirement and change in control. The restricted stock units will generally vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Change in Control. In the event of a change in control ("CIC"), acceleration of vesting of restricted stock units will occur if an employee is terminated by the Company without "cause" or the employee voluntarily terminates employment with "good reason" during the 24 month period following a CIC ("Qualifying Termination"). Vesting of restricted stock units will accelerate immediately regardless of a Qualifying Termination if the acquirer does not assume the restricted stock unit awards. If the acquirer assumes the restricted stock unit awards, restricted stock units will continue to vest according to their original vesting schedules; provided that vesting will subsequently accelerate upon a Qualifying Termination within 24 months after the CIC, and unvested restricted stock units would be forfeited upon any other termination (unless otherwise specified by the terms of an employment agreement). With respect to performance share units, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, performance share units will be converted to time-based restricted stock units at the CIC assuming achievement of 100% the performance targets. Such restricted stock units will have the same terms of the restricted stock units granted pursuant to the 2016 LTIP and shall be deemed to have been granted as of March 17, 2016.

Other Terms & Provisions. Participants are not permitted to transfer LTIP awards, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Corporation is entitled to withhold from any payments of awards under the LTIP or the Omnibus Plan any and all amounts required to be withheld for federal, state and local withholding taxes. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to change terms and conditions of LTIP awards as it deems necessary to ensure that the LTIP awards satisfy all requirements for "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition to the above conditions, payment of any incentive award is contingent upon the participant executing a written agreement to protect company assets.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

PharMerica Corporation together with its subsidiaries, (the "Corporation"), is a pharmacy services company that services healthcare facilities, provides pharmacy management services to hospitals, provides specialty infusion services to patients outside a hospital setting, and offers the only national oncology pharmacy in the United States. The Corporation is the second largest institutional pharmacy services company in the United States based on revenues and customer licensed beds under contract, operating  93 institutional pharmacies, 17 specialty home infusion pharmacies, and 5 specialty oncology pharmacies in 45 states.  The Corporation's customers are institutional healthcare providers, such as skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, hospitals, individuals receiving in-home care and patients with cancer.

Operating Segments

The Corporation consists of three operating segments: institutional pharmacy, specialty infusion services and specialty oncology pharmacy. Management believes the nature of the products and services are similar, the payers for the products and services are common among the segments and all segments operate in the healthcare regulatory environment. In addition, the segments are economically similar. Accordingly, management has aggregated the three operating segments into one reporting segment.

Principles of Consolidation

All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The Corporation has an investment in a long-term care pharmacy business that is accounted for by the equity method. This entity is not a variable interest entity and the Corporation's lack of majority voting rights precludes the Corporation from controlling this affiliate. Accordingly, the Corporation does not consolidate this affiliate, but rather applies the equity method of accounting. The Corporation's share of the net income or loss of this unconsolidated affiliate is included in operating expense.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements adjusted for acquisition related measurement period adjustments.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. It is the opinion of management that all necessary adjustments for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made and are of a normal recurring nature.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates are involved in collectability of accounts receivable, revenue recognition, inventory valuation, supplier rebates and the valuation of long-lived assets and goodwill. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the Corporation follows a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the Corporation to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:

A. Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

B. Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

C. Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).

The financial liabilities recorded at fair value at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016 are set forth in the tables below (dollars in millions):

As of December 31, 2015	Liability				Level 1			Level 2				Level 3				Valuation Technique
Financial Liability
Deferred Compensation Plan		$	(8.2	)		$	-		$	(8.2	)		$	-			A
Contingent Consideration			(11.5	)			-			-				(11.5	)		C
Mandatorily Redeemable Interest			(5.8	)			-			-				(5.8	)		C

As of March 31, 2016	Liability				Level 1			Level 2				Level 3				Valuation Technique
Financial Liability
Deferred Compensation Plan		$	(7.8	)		$	-		$	(7.8	)		$	-			A
Contingent Considerations			(7.6	)			-			-				(7.6	)		C
Mandatorily Redeemable Interest			(6.0	)			-			-				(6.0	)		C

The deferred compensation plan liability represents an obligation associated with the deferred compensation plan offered to eligible employees and members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The fair value of the liability associated with the deferred compensation plan is derived using pricing and other relevant information for investments in phantom shares of certain available investment options, primarily mutual funds. This liability is classified as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The contingent consideration represents future earn-outs associated with the Corporation's acquisition of an infusion business and a hospital services business both purchased in 2015. The fair values of the liabilities associated with the contingent consideration were derived using the income approach with unobservable inputs, which included future gross profit forecasts and present value assumptions, and there was little or no market data. The Corporation assessed the fair values of the liabilities as of the acquisition date and will assess quarterly thereafter until settlement.  These liabilities are classified as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The mandatorily redeemable interest represents a future obligation associated with the Corporation's acquisition of a specialty pharmacy business, OncoMed Specialty, LLC ("Onco"), purchased on December 6, 2013. The mandatorily redeemable interest is classified as a long-term liability and measured at fair value. The fair value was derived using the income approach with unobservable inputs, which included a future gross profit forecast and present value assumptions, and there was little or no market data.  The Corporation assessed and adjusted the mandatorily redeemable interest liability to estimated value at March 31, 2016.

For the year ended December 31, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were no transfers between the valuation hierarchy Levels 1, 2, and 3. The following table summarizes the change in fair value of the Corporation's contingent consideration and mandatorily redeemable interest identified as Level 3 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2016 (in millions):

	Contingent Consideration			Mandatorily Redeemable Interest
Beginning balance, December 31, 2014	$	1.1		$	8.3
Additions from business acquisitions		11.9			-
Subtractions from business acquisitions		(1.1	)		-
Change in fair value		(0.4	)		(2.5	)
Balance, December 31, 2015		11.5			5.8
Additions from business acquisitions		-			-
Contingent consideration payment		(3.9	)		-
Change in fair value		-			0.2
Balance, March 31, 2016	$	7.6		$	6.0

The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Corporation's debt approximates fair value due to the terms of the interest being set at variable market interest rates (Level 2).

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from Prescription Drug Plans ("PDPs") under Medicare Part D, institutional healthcare providers, the respective state Medicaid programs, third party insurance companies, and private payers. The Corporation's ability to collect outstanding receivables is critical to its results of operations and cash flows. To provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, the Corporation establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to the extent it is probable that a portion or all of a particular account will not be collected.

The Corporation has an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which relies on analytical tools, specific identification, and benchmarks to arrive at a reasonable allowance. No single statistic or measurement determines the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Corporation monitors and reviews trends by payer classification along with the composition of the Corporation's accounts receivable aging. This review is focused primarily on trends in private and other payers, PDPs, dual eligible co-payments, historic payment patterns of long-term care institutions, and monitoring respective credit risks. In addition, the Corporation analyzes other factors such as revenue days in accounts receivables, denial trends by payer types, payment patterns by payer types, subsequent cash collections, and current events that may impact payment patterns of the Corporation's long-term care institution customers. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been completed in accordance with the Corporation's policies.

The Corporation's accounts receivable and summarized aging categories are as follows (dollars in millions):

	December 31, 2015			March 31, 2016
Institutional healthcare providers	$	145.9		$	140.6
Medicare Part D		30.2			32.1
Private payer and other		26.8			24.7
Insured		31.1			30.7
Medicaid		12.6			13.6
Medicare		3.2			2.7
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(49.3	)		(44.9	)
	$	200.5		$	199.5
0 to 60 days		62.0	%		63.5	%
61 to 120 days		15.0	%		14.7	%
Over 120 days		23.0	%		21.8	%
		100.0	%		100.0	%

The following is a summary of activity in the Corporation's allowance for doubtful accounts (dollars in millions):

	Beginning Balance			Charges Included in Selling, General & Administrative Expenses			Write-offs				Ending Balance
Allowance for doubtful accounts:
Year ended December 31, 2015		$	58.1		$	7.9		$	(16.7	)		$	49.3
Three months ended March 31, 2016		$	49.3		$	3.2		$	(7.6	)		$	44.9

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Corporation reversed an allowance of $4.6 million related to a customer's outstanding receivable for which a settlement payment was received which significantly exceeded the existing net receivable.  This reversal is reflected in the "Charges Included in Selling, General & Administrative Expenses" column above.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges in the condensed consolidated financial statements represent amounts expensed for purposes of realigning corporate and pharmacy locations.

Mandatorily Redeemable Interest

The Corporation acquired 37.5% of the membership interests of Onco while also obtaining control of the business. The subsidiary is consolidated in the Corporation's condensed consolidated financial statements and the mandatorily redeemable interest is classified as debt within other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Recently Issued Accounting Prouncements

In March of 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 (ASU 2016-09) "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" intended to simplify the accounting for employee share-based payments. Under this guidance all excess tax benefits ("windfalls") and deficiencies ("shortfalls") related to employee stock compensation will be recognized within income tax expense. Under prior guidance windfalls were recognized to additional paid-in capital ("APIC") and shortfalls were only recognized to the extent they exceed the pool of windfall tax benefits.

The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any interim or annual period. The Corporation early adopted ASU 2016-09 effective for the three months ended March 31, 2016. As a result of the adoption a tax benefit of $1.0 million was recorded in the current quarter reflecting the excess tax benefits for the quarter. The adoption was on a prospective basis and therefore had no impact on prior years.

ACQUISITIONS

NOTE 2—ACQUISITIONS

2015 Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Corporation completed acquisitions of two long-term care businesses, two infusion businesses and one hospital services business (collectively the "2015 Acquisitions"), none of which were individually significant to the Corporation. The 2015 Acquisitions had an estimated purchase price of $83.5 million, comprised of a net cash payment of $75.9 million and an estimated fair value of contingent consideration of $7.6 million. The resulting amount of goodwill and identifiable intangibles related to these transactions in the aggregate were $48.5 million and $41.2 million, respectively. The Corporation believes the resulting amount of goodwill reflects the synergistic benefits of the acquisitions.  Tax deductible goodwill associated with the acquisitions was $41.4 million as of  December 31, 2015.  The net assets and operating results of the 2015 Acquisitions have been included in the Corporation's condensed consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition.

Pro forma financial statements are not presented on the 2015 Acquisitions as the results are not material to the Corporation's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, the Corporation incurred $3.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively, of acquisition-related costs, which have been classified as a component of merger, acquisition, integration costs and other charges.

CREDIT AGREEMENT [Abstract]

CREDIT AGREEMENT

NOTE 4—CREDIT AGREEMENT

On September 17, 2014, the Corporation entered into a credit agreement by and among the Corporation, the lenders named therein (the "Lenders"), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A., as syndication agent, and U.S. Bank, National Association, Citibank, N.A., MUFG Union Bank, N.A., BBVA Compass Bank and SunTrust Bank as co-documentation agents (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement consists of a $225.0 million term loan facility and a $310.0 million revolving credit facility. The terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement are customary to facilities of this nature.

As of March 31, 2016, $216.5 million was outstanding under the term loan facility and $162.0 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement matures on September 17, 2019, at which time the commitments of the Lenders to make revolving loans also expire.

The table below summarizes the total outstanding debt of the Corporation (dollars in millions):

	(As Adjusted)

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES [Abstract]

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 5—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Corporation maintains liabilities for certain of its outstanding investigations and litigation. In accordance with the provisions of U.S. GAAP for contingencies, the Corporation records a liability when it is probable that such a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. To the extent that the resolution of contingencies result in actual losses that differ from the Corporation's recorded liabilities, earnings will be charged or credited accordingly. The Corporation cannot know the ultimate outcome of the pending matters described below, and there can be no assurance that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the Corporation's condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. As a part of its ongoing operations, the Corporation is subject to various inspections, audits, inquiries, investigations and similar actions by third parties, as well as by government/regulatory authorities responsible for enforcing the laws and regulations to which the Corporation is subject. Further, under the federal False Claims Act, private parties have the right to bring qui tam, or "whistleblower," suits against companies that submit false claims for payments to, or improperly retain overpayments from, the government. The inherently unpredictable nature of legal proceedings may be impacted by various factors, including: (i) the damages sought in the proceedings are unsubstantiated or indeterminate; (ii) discovery is not complete; (iii) the proceeding is in its early stages; (iv) the matters present legal uncertainties; (v) significant facts are in dispute; (vi) a large number of parties are participating in the proceedings (including where it is uncertain how liability, if any, will be shared among defendants); or (vii) the proceedings present a wide range of potential outcomes.

The Corporation is the subject of certain investigations and is a defendant in a number of cases, including those discussed below.

On November 20, 2013, the complaint filed by a relator, Robert Gadbois, on behalf of the U.S. Government and various state governments, was unsealed by the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island against the Corporation alleging that the Corporation dispensed controlled and non-controlled substances in violation of the CSA and in violation of relevant state laws, and that as a result, the dispenses were not eligible for payment and that the claims the Corporation submitted to the Government were false within the meaning of the FCA. The U.S. Government and the various state governments declined to intervene in this case.   On October 3, 2014, the Corporation's motion to dismiss was granted by the court. The relator appealed the court's decision and on December 16, 2015, the First Circuit Court of Appeals granted the relator its appeal and remanded the case to the District Court to allow the relator to file a motion to supplement his complaint and to allow the District Court to rule upon that motion. On December 30, 2015, the Corporation filed with the First Circuit Court of Appeals a petition for a re-hearing en banc, which was denied on January 25, 2016.  The Corporation filed a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court on April 22, 2016 asking the Supreme Court to review the First Circuit's decision.  The First Circuit stayed the issuance of its mandate until the proceedings in the Supreme Court are final, effectively staying the case in the District Court until the Supreme Court decides the matter.  The Corporation otherwise intends to continue to defend the case vigorously.

On March 4, 2011, a relator, Mark Silver, on behalf of the U.S. Government and various state governments, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Corporation alleging that the Corporation violated the FCA and Federal Anti-Kickback Statute through its agreements to provide prescription drugs to nursing homes under certain Medicare and Medicaid programs. On February 19, 2013, the U.S. Government declined to intervene in the case. The complaint has been amended several times, most recently on November 12, 2013, and thereafter served upon the Corporation. On December 6, 2013, the Corporation moved to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted and on September 29, 2014, the court declined to dismiss the case, but limited the relevant time period for which claims could be brought against the Corporation.  On December 22, 2015, Silver and the Corporation filed a joint motion with the court for an order dismissing with prejudice all successor liability claims against the Corporation for or regarding the conduct of Chem Rx Corporation. The court has not yet ruled on the motion or entered the order of dismissal.  On March 4, 2016 and April 1, 2016, the Corporation filed motions to dismiss and for summary judgment, respectively, for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under the FCA prior public disclosure bar.  The court has not yet ruled on the motions.  The Corporation intends to vigorously defend itself against the remaining allegations in the case.

On September 10, 2014, the Corporation filed a Complaint in Jefferson Circuit Court in Louisville, Kentucky against AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation ("ABDC") for failure of ABDC to comply with certain pricing and rebate provisions of the Previous Prime Vendor Agreement ("Previous PVA").  The Corporation subsequently filed a First Amended Verified Complaint on September 26, 2014 asserting additional breaches of the Previous PVA.

As a result of ABDC's failure to comply with certain pricing and rebate provisions, the Corporation had recorded a receivable of $40.8 million related to these disputes at December 31, 2014.  Separately, as of December 31, 2014, the Corporation had recorded $12.2 million for additional rebates owing from ABDC which at that time the Corporation believed were not in dispute and had previously been paid by ABDC in all the prior quarters.  These receivables totaled $53.0 million and were included in prepaids and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014.  During the period of January 1, 2015 through March 31, 2015, an additional $19.3 million, net of payments received, of certain rebates and guarantees owed by ABDC under the Previous PVA were recognized, which brought the total gross receivable to $72.3 million at December 31, 2015.

On March, 2, 2015, the Corporation notified ABDC of its intent to terminate the Previous PVA effective April 1, 2015.  The Corporation also announced that it had entered into the Cardinal Health Prime Vendor Agreement ("Cardinal Health PVA") effective April 1, 2015.  On March 3, 2015, the Corporation received a letter from ABDC terminating the Previous PVA effective immediately based upon the Corporation's alleged failure to pay certain disputed miscellaneous charges and the Corporation's signing of the Cardinal Health PVA.  The Corporation believes ABDC did not have the right to immediately terminate the contract pursuant to the terms of the Previous PVA. On March 6 and March 13, 2015, the Corporation withheld from ABDC normal recurring payments for drug purchases of approximately $48.8 million.  On May 18, 2015, ABDC filed an Amended Counterclaim seeking additional financial damages against the Corporation and asserted claims against two counter-defendants.  On November 23, 2015, the Corporation filed its Third Amended Complaint against ABDC for additional financial damages, amounts overcharged by ABDC, and for certain rebates not paid by ABDC under the Previous PVA.

On April 1, 2016, the Jefferson Circuit Court ruled that the Corporation could not set-off payment the amounts that ABDC owed the Corporation against amounts that ABDC had invoiced the Corporation.  Instead the Corporation must first pay ABDC and continue the litigation against ABDC to collect any amounts owed to the Corporation by ABDC upon the conclusion of the entire lawsuit. As a result, the Corporation owes approximately $48.8 million of payments, along with post-judgment  interest  for drug purchases in the first quarter of 2015. The Corporation intends to continue the litigation in the Jefferson Circuit Court against ABDC. On April 11, 2016, the Corporation filed a Motion to Alter and Amend the April 1, 2016 order of the Jefferson Circuit Court asking the judge to reconsider the final and appealable aspect of the order. If the April 1, 2016 order is not reconsidered, the Corporation intends to appeal the entire decision of the trial court to the Kentucky Court of Appeals. At its option, if the trial court does not reconsider its ruling, the Corporation may obtain a bond during the pendency to appeal in lieu of paying ABDC.  The Jefferson Circuit Court's ruling on the right to set-off does not in any way adversely affect the Corporation's claims against ABDC and the Corporation's ability to pursue all of its claims against ABDC in the Jefferson Circuit Court.

Amounts owed to and from ABDC were previously offset resulting in a net receivable of $23.5 million from ABDC in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 classified as long-term assets. As a result of the ruling on the right to set-off, the Corporation has grossed up the receivable from ABDC to $72.3 million and the payable to $48.8 million. Accordingly, the $72.3 million receivable from ABDC is reflected in other long-term assets and the $48.8 million payable is reflected in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016.

The Corporation has claims for additional damages resulting from ABDC's breaches of the Previous PVA. The Corporation intends to vigorously pursue its claims.  At this time, the Corporation is unable to determine the ultimate impact of these litigation proceedings on its condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.  The litigation with ABDC could continue for an extended period of time, likely longer than 12 months.   The Corporation cannot provide any assurances about the outcome of the litigation.

In addition, the Corporation is involved in certain legal actions and regulatory investigations arising in the ordinary course of business. At March 31, 2016, the Corporation had accrued approximately $27.0 million related to the pending legal actions and investigations.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER CHARGES

NOTE 7—RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER CHARGES

In July 2013, the Corporation commenced the implementation of its restructuring plan as a result of the loss of two of the Corporation's significant customers, Kindred Healthcare Inc. and Golden Living. The plan was a major initiative primarily designed to optimize operational efficiency while ensuring that the Corporation remains well-positioned to serve its clients and achieve sustainable, long-term growth.  The Corporation's restructuring plan included steps to right size its cost structure by adjusting its workforce and facility plans to reflect anticipated business needs.  In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2015, the Corporation began a restructuring and centralization initiative related to its specialty pharmacy business.  The initiative is not expected to be material to the financial statements.

The Corporation recorded restructuring costs and other related charges of approximately of $0.1 million and $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively.  The restructuring charges primarily included severance pay, the buy-out of employment agreements, lease terminations, and other exit-related asset disposals, professional fees and facility exit costs.

The following table presents the components of the Corporation's restructuring liability (dollars in millions):

	Balance at December 31, 2015		Accrual		Utilized Amounts			Balance at March 31, 2016
Employee Severance and related costs	$	0.3	$	1.1	$	(0.6	)	$	0.8

NOTE 8—COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK, TREASURY STOCK, STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND OTHER BENEFITS

Treasury Stock Purchases

In August 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase of up to $25.0 million of the Corporation's common stock, of which $10.5 million was used. On July 2, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized an increase to the remaining portion of the existing share repurchase program that allows the Corporation to again repurchase up to a maximum of $25.0 million of the Corporation's common stock. Approximately $19.7 million remained available under the program as of March 31, 2016. Share repurchases under this authorization may be made in the open market through unsolicited or solicited privately negotiated transactions, or in such other appropriate manner, and may be funded from available cash or the revolving credit facility. The amount and timing of the repurchases, if any, would be determined by the Corporation's management and would depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions. Common stock acquired through the share repurchase program would be held as treasury shares and may be used for general corporate purposes, including reissuance in connection with acquisitions, employee stock option exercises or other employee stock plans. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be limited, terminated or extended at any time without prior notice. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Corporation repurchased no shares of common stock.

 The Corporation may redeem shares from employees upon the vesting of the Corporation's stock awards for minimum statutory tax withholding purposes and to cover option exercise costs. The Corporation redeemed 128,838 shares from the vesting of certain awards and exercise of certain stock options, for an aggregate price of approximately $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. These shares have also been designated by the Corporation as treasury stock.

INCOME TAXES [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

NOTE 9—INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes is based upon the Corporation's estimate of annual taxable income or loss for each respective accounting period. The following table summarizes our provision for income taxes for the periods presented (dollars in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015				2016
Provision for income taxes		$	5.8			$	0.8
Total provision as a percentage of pre-tax income			37.9	%			16.3	%

The decrease in our provision for income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the comparable 2015 period was due to decreases in pre-tax income as well as certain non-deductible employee compensation costs and discrete events including the Corporation's early adoption of FASB ASU 2016-09 "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which resulted in a significant decrease to the tax provision for excess tax benefits of approximately $1.0 million.  The forecasted annual effective tax rates of 37.9%% and 36.8%% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, are higher than the federal statutory rate largely as a result of the combined impact of state and local taxes and various non-deductible expenses.

The Corporation derives a current federal and state income tax benefit from the impact of deductions associated with the amortization of tax deductible goodwill acquired through business combinations. The tax basis of the Corporation's tax deductible goodwill was approximately $171.1 million and $166.6 million at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively.  The future tax benefits of the tax-deductible goodwill are included in the Corporation's deferred tax assets.

The Corporation recognizes an asset or liability for the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. These temporary differences will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled. The Corporation also recognizes as deferred tax assets the future tax benefits from net operating loss carryforwards. As of March 31, 2016, the Corporation has $18.0 million ($6.3 million tax benefit) of federal net operating loss carryforwards available. These net operating loss carryforwards resulted from the stock acquisitions the Corporation completed in 2013 and 2014.  These net operating loss carryforwards are subject to limitations under IRC Section 382; however, the Corporation expects that it will be able to use the recorded amount which takes into account the limitations of the carryforwards.  The Corporation has state net operating loss carryforwards representing a tax benefit of $4.1 million, net of valuation allowances. The net operating losses have carryforward periods ranging from 1 to 20 years depending on the taxing jurisdiction.

A valuation allowance is provided for the Corporation's deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Corporation recognized net deferred tax assets totaling $21.1 million and $17.9 million at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively, net of state valuation allowances of $3.8 million.

The federal statute of limitations remains open for tax years 2012 through 2014. 

State tax jurisdictions generally have statutes of limitation ranging from three to five years. The Corporation is generally no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010. The state income tax impact of federal income tax changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification of IRS settlement to the states.

(a)     These unexercised employee stock options, unvested restricted shares and performance shares that have not yet met performance conditions are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

Stock options and restricted shares and units granted by the Corporation are treated as potential common shares outstanding in computing earnings per diluted share. Performance share units are treated as potential common shares outstanding in computing earnings per diluted share only when the performance conditions are met.

Common shares repurchased by the Corporation reduce the number of basic shares used in the denominator for basic and diluted earnings per share.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

Nature of Business

Nature of Business

PharMerica Corporation together with its subsidiaries, (the "Corporation"), is a pharmacy services company that services healthcare facilities, provides pharmacy management services to hospitals, provides specialty infusion services to patients outside a hospital setting, and offers the only national oncology pharmacy in the United States. The Corporation is the second largest institutional pharmacy services company in the United States based on revenues and customer licensed beds under contract, operating  93 institutional pharmacies, 17 specialty home infusion pharmacies, and 5 specialty oncology pharmacies in 45 states.  The Corporation's customers are institutional healthcare providers, such as skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, hospitals, individuals receiving in-home care and patients with cancer.

Operating Segments

Operating Segments

The Corporation consists of three operating segments: institutional pharmacy, specialty infusion services and specialty oncology pharmacy. Management believes the nature of the products and services are similar, the payers for the products and services are common among the segments and all segments operate in the healthcare regulatory environment. In addition, the segments are economically similar. Accordingly, management has aggregated the three operating segments into one reporting segment.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The Corporation has an investment in a long-term care pharmacy business that is accounted for by the equity method. This entity is not a variable interest entity and the Corporation's lack of majority voting rights precludes the Corporation from controlling this affiliate. Accordingly, the Corporation does not consolidate this affiliate, but rather applies the equity method of accounting. The Corporation's share of the net income or loss of this unconsolidated affiliate is included in operating expense.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements adjusted for acquisition related measurement period adjustments.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. It is the opinion of management that all necessary adjustments for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made and are of a normal recurring nature.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates are involved in collectability of accounts receivable, revenue recognition, inventory valuation, supplier rebates and the valuation of long-lived assets and goodwill. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the Corporation follows a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the Corporation to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:

A. Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

B. Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

C. Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).

The financial liabilities recorded at fair value at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016 are set forth in the tables below (dollars in millions):

As of December 31, 2015	Liability				Level 1			Level 2				Level 3				Valuation Technique
Financial Liability
Deferred Compensation Plan		$	(8.2	)		$	-		$	(8.2	)		$	-			A
Contingent Consideration			(11.5	)			-			-				(11.5	)		C
Mandatorily Redeemable Interest			(5.8	)			-			-				(5.8	)		C

As of March 31, 2016	Liability				Level 1			Level 2				Level 3				Valuation Technique
Financial Liability
Deferred Compensation Plan		$	(7.8	)		$	-		$	(7.8	)		$	-			A
Contingent Considerations			(7.6	)			-			-				(7.6	)		C
Mandatorily Redeemable Interest			(6.0	)			-			-				(6.0	)		C

The deferred compensation plan liability represents an obligation associated with the deferred compensation plan offered to eligible employees and members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The fair value of the liability associated with the deferred compensation plan is derived using pricing and other relevant information for investments in phantom shares of certain available investment options, primarily mutual funds. This liability is classified as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The contingent consideration represents future earn-outs associated with the Corporation's acquisition of an infusion business and a hospital services business both purchased in 2015. The fair values of the liabilities associated with the contingent consideration were derived using the income approach with unobservable inputs, which included future gross profit forecasts and present value assumptions, and there was little or no market data. The Corporation assessed the fair values of the liabilities as of the acquisition date and will assess quarterly thereafter until settlement.  These liabilities are classified as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The mandatorily redeemable interest represents a future obligation associated with the Corporation's acquisition of a specialty pharmacy business, OncoMed Specialty, LLC ("Onco"), purchased on December 6, 2013. The mandatorily redeemable interest is classified as a long-term liability and measured at fair value. The fair value was derived using the income approach with unobservable inputs, which included a future gross profit forecast and present value assumptions, and there was little or no market data.  The Corporation assessed and adjusted the mandatorily redeemable interest liability to estimated value at March 31, 2016.

For the year ended December 31, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were no transfers between the valuation hierarchy Levels 1, 2, and 3. The following table summarizes the change in fair value of the Corporation's contingent consideration and mandatorily redeemable interest identified as Level 3 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2016 (in millions):

	Contingent Consideration			Mandatorily Redeemable Interest
Beginning balance, December 31, 2014	$	1.1		$	8.3
Additions from business acquisitions		11.9			-
Subtractions from business acquisitions		(1.1	)		-
Change in fair value		(0.4	)		(2.5	)
Balance, December 31, 2015		11.5			5.8
Additions from business acquisitions		-			-
Contingent consideration payment		(3.9	)		-
Change in fair value		-			0.2
Balance, March 31, 2016	$	7.6		$	6.0

The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Corporation's debt approximates fair value due to the terms of the interest being set at variable market interest rates (Level 2).

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from Prescription Drug Plans ("PDPs") under Medicare Part D, institutional healthcare providers, the respective state Medicaid programs, third party insurance companies, and private payers. The Corporation's ability to collect outstanding receivables is critical to its results of operations and cash flows. To provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, the Corporation establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to the extent it is probable that a portion or all of a particular account will not be collected.

The Corporation has an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which relies on analytical tools, specific identification, and benchmarks to arrive at a reasonable allowance. No single statistic or measurement determines the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Corporation monitors and reviews trends by payer classification along with the composition of the Corporation's accounts receivable aging. This review is focused primarily on trends in private and other payers, PDPs, dual eligible co-payments, historic payment patterns of long-term care institutions, and monitoring respective credit risks. In addition, the Corporation analyzes other factors such as revenue days in accounts receivables, denial trends by payer types, payment patterns by payer types, subsequent cash collections, and current events that may impact payment patterns of the Corporation's long-term care institution customers. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been completed in accordance with the Corporation's policies.

The Corporation's accounts receivable and summarized aging categories are as follows (dollars in millions):

	December 31, 2015			March 31, 2016
Institutional healthcare providers	$	145.9		$	140.6
Medicare Part D		30.2			32.1
Private payer and other		26.8			24.7
Insured		31.1			30.7
Medicaid		12.6			13.6
Medicare		3.2			2.7
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(49.3	)		(44.9	)
	$	200.5		$	199.5
0 to 60 days		62.0	%		63.5	%
61 to 120 days		15.0	%		14.7	%
Over 120 days		23.0	%		21.8	%
		100.0	%		100.0	%

The following is a summary of activity in the Corporation's allowance for doubtful accounts (dollars in millions):

	Beginning Balance			Charges Included in Selling, General & Administrative Expenses			Write-offs				Ending Balance
Allowance for doubtful accounts:
Year ended December 31, 2015		$	58.1		$	7.9		$	(16.7	)		$	49.3
Three months ended March 31, 2016		$	49.3		$	3.2		$	(7.6	)		$	44.9

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Corporation reversed an allowance of $4.6 million related to a customer's outstanding receivable for which a settlement payment was received which significantly exceeded the existing net receivable.  This reversal is reflected in the "Charges Included in Selling, General & Administrative Expenses" column above.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges in the condensed consolidated financial statements represent amounts expensed for purposes of realigning corporate and pharmacy locations.

Mandatorily Redeemable Interest

Mandatorily Redeemable Interest

The Corporation acquired 37.5% of the membership interests of Onco while also obtaining control of the business. The subsidiary is consolidated in the Corporation's condensed consolidated financial statements and the mandatorily redeemable interest is classified as debt within other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Prouncements

In March of 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 (ASU 2016-09) "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" intended to simplify the accounting for employee share-based payments. Under this guidance all excess tax benefits ("windfalls") and deficiencies ("shortfalls") related to employee stock compensation will be recognized within income tax expense. Under prior guidance windfalls were recognized to additional paid-in capital ("APIC") and shortfalls were only recognized to the extent they exceed the pool of windfall tax benefits.

The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any interim or annual period. The Corporation early adopted ASU 2016-09 effective for the three months ended March 31, 2016. As a result of the adoption a tax benefit of $1.0 million was recorded in the current quarter reflecting the excess tax benefits for the quarter. The adoption was on a prospective basis and therefore had no impact on prior years.
