CARDINAL HEALTH REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

 

  •  

Revenue increases 9 percent to $24.9 billion

 

  •  

GAAP earnings from continuing operations decline 14 percent to $314 million and decrease 10 percent to $350 million on a non-GAAP basis

 

  •  

GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations decline 15 percent to $0.87 and decrease 10 percent to $0.97 on a non-GAAP basis

DUBLIN, Ohio, April 30, 2009—Cardinal Health, a global provider of products and services that improve the safety and productivity of health care, today reported solid revenue growth for its fiscal third quarter and an expected decline in earnings, primarily due to a previously disclosed deferral in hospital capital spending.

Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, rose 9 percent to $24.9 billion, driven by sales growth from the Healthcare Supply Chain Services segment. Non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations1 declined 10 percent to $350 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations2 decreased 10 percent to $0.97 from the prior year period. Including the $36 million after tax or $0.10 per share impact of special items, impairments and other costs associated with the planned spinoff of CareFusion Corporation, GAAP earnings from continuing operations were $314 million or $0.87 per share.

The year-over-year earnings decline was primarily driven by a deferral in hospital capital spending affecting the company’s Clinical and Medical Products segment, an additional reserve associated with the costs to remediate certain models of the company’s Alaris® infusion pump products, the negative impact on sales from a hold on shipping certain Alaris® products and the negative effect of foreign exchange rates. The earnings decline was partially offset by a lower tax rate, due to a tax refund claim filed during the quarter.

“The revenue and profit growth from the Healthcare Supply Chain Services segment in this economic downturn is encouraging,” said R. Kerry Clark, Cardinal Health chairman and chief executive officer. “We knew we were going to have a difficult quarter in our Clinical and Medical

Products segment, but we remain in a strong, long-term competitive position and made progress during the quarter against some of our short-term challenges, which gives us confidence as we move towards completing the planned spinoff.”

THIRD-QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS

Healthcare Supply Chain Services

Healthcare Supply Chain Services increased revenue by 9 percent to $24 billion, driven by higher sales to existing pharmaceutical supply chain customers. Sales to bulk pharmaceutical customers4 increased 19 percent to $10.8 billion and sales to non-bulk pharmaceutical customers5 increased 3 percent to $11.1 billion. Segment profit increased 2 percent to $384 million due to the total segment sales growth, strong performance in nuclear pharmacy services and disciplined management of operating expenses. Segment profit growth was partially offset by the impact of customer mix and higher bad debt expense.

“With solid revenue growth from our pharmaceutical distribution business and profit growth from nuclear pharmacy services and medical product distribution, the Healthcare Supply Chain Services segment held up well in the fiscal third quarter in the face of a very challenging environment,” said George Barrett, Cardinal Health vice chairman and chief executive officer of Healthcare Supply Chain Services. “The segment remains focused on revitalizing our core businesses and providing the tools that allow our customers to thrive in this dynamic health care environment.”

Clinical and Medical Products

Revenue for Clinical and Medical Products decreased 6 percent to $1.1 billion, driven by sales declines from the previously disclosed deferral in hospital capital spending, the ship-hold on certain Alaris® products and the impact of foreign exchange rates. The decline in segment revenue was partially offset by revenue growth in the infection prevention businesses, primarily from the Enturia acquisition. Segment profit declined 22 percent to $148 million, driven by the revenue decline, a reserve associated with remediation efforts for IV pumps, the ship-hold on certain Alaris® products and the impact of foreign exchange rates. The infusion remediation reserve included a $6 million charge announced on March 12 associated with the Alaris® PCA module recall and an additional $12 million associated with a corrective action plan submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on April 24, bringing the total fiscal third quarter remediation reserve to $18 million. Foreign exchange rates negatively affected segment profit by 8 percentage points. The negative factors affecting segment profit were partially offset by growth from the infection prevention business, including the Enturia acquisition that favorably affected segment profit by 9 percentage points, and growth from infusion and respiratory disposable products.

“The overall trends in our Clinical and Medical Products segment remain fundamentally the same, with our capital equipment businesses being affected by the deferral in capital spending and our businesses related to disposables continuing to perform well,” said David Schlotterbeck, Cardinal Health vice chairman and chief executive officer of Clinical and Medical Products. “The complicating factor in the quarter was our recall and ship-hold on some of our infusion products, but we are making progress against our obligations under the amended consent decree with the FDA. In addition, we had another strong quarter from the Enturia acquisition, which continues to perform very well.”

OUTLOOK

Clark said, “Even with the additional impact from the infusion remediation reserve and the ship-hold, we are maintaining our full-year non-GAAP EPS outlook within, but at the low end of, our guidance range of $3.50 to $3.60 per share.”

The company’s guidance does not reflect any incremental costs it will incur associated with the planned spinoff and separation of the two companies. The company expects a significant portion of these costs to be classified as special items in accordance with current company practices.

Total invested capital is calculated as the sum of the current portion of long-term obligations and other short-term borrowings, long-term obligations, total shareholders’ equity and unrecorded goodwill. The average total invested capital is calculated using the average of total invested capital at the end of the prior and current quarters except for year-to-date which is calculated as the average of the prior years’ fourth quarter plus each of the current year quarters. Unrecorded goodwill is $7.5 billion for all periods presented.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company presents non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations and non-GAAP effective tax rate from continuing operations (and presentations derived from these financial measures) on a forward-looking basis. The most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures are earnings from continuing operations and effective tax rate from continuing operations. The Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because the Company cannot reliably forecast special items, impairments, (gain)/loss on sale of assets and other, net and other spin-off costs, which are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the Company’s future financial results.
