FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Driven by record 2008 sales performance across the company, including Accredo Health Group, and strong fundamentals, Medco Health Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MHS) today reported a 34.2 percent increase in second-quarter 2008 GAAP diluted earnings per share to $0.51, compared to $0.38 for the second quarter of 2007. Excluding $0.05 per share in amortization of intangible assets that existed when Medco became a publicly traded company, second-quarter 2008 diluted earnings per share increased 30.2 percent to $0.56 from $0.43 in second-quarter 2007.
"This quarter, Medco demonstrated that strong execution around the fundamentals of our business on behalf of our customers continues to drive outstanding earnings performance for our shareholders," said David B. Snow Jr., Medco chairman and chief executive officer.
"Beyond the quarter, our business strategy fueled extremely strong sales results and industry-leading customer retention rates. Our 2008 annualized new-named sales rose to $6.5 billion, and we achieved a retention rate of 98 percent, reflecting continued success in our 2008 sales season. Additionally, our 2009 annualized new-named sales to date are currently at $4.6 billion, with a retention rate of more than 97 percent. These strong 2009 sales results are particularly impressive this early in the 2009 sales season, and are a testament to the strength of our integrated service and clinical models," said Snow.
Richard J. Rubino, chief financial officer, added: "The second quarter results exceeded our expectations with strong performance across-the-board. We experienced record revenue and operating income in our Accredo business, a high level of operational efficiencies with the absorption of our significant 2008 new client wins, and continued contribution from generics at mail -- all adding up to record EBITDA per adjusted prescription of $3.05. We are very confident in our business model and pleased to both raise and narrow the range of our guidance, elevating our projected 2008 GAAP EPS growth to 29 to 31 percent."
Second-Quarter Financial and Operational Results
Medco reported net revenues of nearly $12.8 billion, a 15.6 percent increase from second-quarter 2007. Net revenues increased primarily as a result of contributions from significant new client wins and price inflation on brand-name drugs, partially offset by higher volumes of lower-cost generic drugs. Medco's generic dispensing rate increased 4.8 percentage points to a record 63.7 percent from the second quarter of 2007. The mail-order generic dispensing rate increased 5.0 percentage points to 54.9 percent and the retail generic dispensing rate increased 4.8 percentage points to 65.6 percent.
While higher volumes of lower-cost generic drugs reduced net revenues by approximately $710 million, these savings benefit clients and members, and contribute to higher gross margins. Year-to-date, the higher volumes of generic drugs reduced net revenues by approximately $1.5 billion.
Total prescription volume, adjusting for the difference in days supply between mail order and retail, increased 6.4 percent from the second quarter of 2007 to 198.1 million. Mail-order prescription volume increased 11.9 percent to 26.3 million. Retail prescription volume increased 3.2 percent to 119.6 million. Adjusted mail-order prescriptions as a percentage of total adjusted prescriptions increased 2.0 percentage points, reaching 39.7 percent. Total gross margin increased 90 basis points to 7.3 percent from 6.4 percent in the second quarter of 2007, reflecting higher mail volumes and penetration, and higher generic dispensing rates. (Please see Table 5 for the calculation of adjusted prescription volume and generic dispensing rate information).
Total selling, general and administrative expense of $368.4 million increased 34.5 percent or $94.4 million over second-quarter 2007. Over $61 million of this increase is attributable to operating expenses from PolyMedica and Critical Care Systems, which were acquired in fourth-quarter 2007, and Europa Apotheek Venlo, a first-quarter 2008 majority-stake acquisition. The remaining increase primarily reflects employee-related costs to support the growing client base and strategic clinical initiatives. Earnings Before Interest Income/Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) for the quarter increased $129.6 million, or 27.3 percent, to $604.1 million compared to the same period last year. EBITDA per adjusted prescription increased 19.6 percent to $3.05 from $2.55 in the second quarter of 2007. (Please refer to Table 6 for a reconciliation of EBITDA to reported net income).
Interest and other (income) expense, net, of $57.5 million in second- quarter 2008 increased from $21.9 million in second-quarter 2007, largely attributable to higher debt levels including the senior notes issuance in March 2008 to fund recent acquisitions.
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2008 was 39.9 percent, compared to 39.3 percent in the second-quarter 2007. Net income of $262.7 million increased 22.2 percent from the same quarter last year.
Medco generated year-to-date cash flows from operations of $200.2 million, compared to $676.7 million for the same period in 2007, reflecting increases in receivables and inventory, driven by overall business growth. The company closed the second quarter of 2008 with $371.7 million of cash on its balance sheet.
Share Repurchase Program
In conjunction with its $5.5 billion share repurchase program, Medco repurchased 12.4 million shares for $562.4 million during the second quarter of 2008 with an average per-share cost of $45.22. From the inception of the program in 2005 through the end of second-quarter 2008, Medco repurchased 144.9 million shares at a total cost of $5.1 billion and average per-share cost of $35.05. At the close of the second quarter, $400 million remained under the current authorization.
Specialty Pharmacy Segment
Revenues for Medco's specialty pharmacy segment, Accredo Health Group, reached record levels with growth of 32.6 percent to nearly $2.0 billion, compared to $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2007. This is primarily the result of the contribution from significant new clients in January 2008 and the acquisition of Critical Care Systems in fourth-quarter 2007.
The gross margin of 8.0 percent was in line with the second-quarter of 2007. Operating income rose 24.6 percent to $67.8 million from $54.4 million in the second quarter of 2007, driven by increased volume from new business.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Medco calculates and uses EBITDA and EBITDA per adjusted prescription as indicators of its ability to generate cash from its reported operating results. These measurements are used in concert with net income and cash flows from operations, which measure actual cash generated in the period. In addition, Medco believes that EBITDA and EBITDA per adjusted prescription 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. EBITDA does not represent funds available for Medco's discretionary use and is not intended to represent or to be used as a substitute for net income or cash flows from operations data as measured under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The items excluded from EBITDA, but included in the calculation of reported net income, are significant components of the consolidated statements of income and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance. EBITDA, and the associated year-to-year trends, should not be considered in isolation. Medco's calculation of EBITDA may not be consistent with calculations of EBITDA used by other companies.
EBITDA per adjusted prescription is calculated by dividing EBITDA by the adjusted prescription volume for the period. This measure is used as an indicator of EBITDA performance on a per-unit basis, providing insight into the cash-generating potential of each prescription. EBITDA, and as a result, EBITDA per adjusted prescription, is affected by the changes in prescription volumes between retail and mail order, the relative representation of brand- name, generic and specialty drugs, as well as the level of efficiency in the business. Adjusted prescription volume equals the majority of mail-order prescriptions multiplied by 3, plus retail prescriptions. These mail-order prescriptions are multiplied by 3 to adjust for the fact that they include approximately 3 times the amount of product days supplied compared with retail prescriptions.
Medco uses diluted earnings per share excluding intangible asset amortization expense that existed when Medco became a public company in 2003 as a supplemental measure of operating performance. The excluded amortization is associated with intangible assets that substantially arose in connection with the acquisition of Medco by Merck & Co., Inc. in 1993 and were pushed down to Medco's balance sheet. The company believes that diluted earnings per share, excluding the amortization of these intangibles, is a useful measure because of the significance of this non-cash item and enhances comparability with its peers. The intangible asset amortization resulting from Medco's acquisitions, such as the acquisitions of Accredo Health, Incorporated in August 2005, and PolyMedica Corporation in October 2007, are not part of the excluded amortization in this calculation because they results from Medco investment decisions.

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may differ materially from those projected. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward- looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about the business and future financial results of the pharmacy benefit management ("PBM") and specialty pharmacy industries, and other legal, regulatory and economic developments. We use words such as "anticipates," "believes," "plans," "expects," "projects," "future," "intends," "may," "will," "should," "could," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "guidance" and similar expressions to identify these forward-looking statements. Medco's actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth below.
-- Competition in the PBM, specialty pharmacy and the broader healthcare industry is intense and could impair our ability to attract and retain clients;
-- Failure to retain key clients and their members could result in significantly decreased revenues and could harm our profitability;
-- If we do not continue to earn and retain purchase discounts and rebates from manufacturers at current levels, our gross margins may decline;
-- Our acquisition activity has increased recently and if we are unable to effectively integrate acquired businesses into ours, our operating results may be adversely affected. Even if we are successful, the integration of these businesses has required, and will likely continue to require, significant resources and management attention;
-- If we fail to comply with complex and rapidly evolving laws and regulations, we could suffer penalties, or be required to pay substantial damages or make significant changes to our operations;
-- Government efforts to reduce healthcare costs and alter healthcare financing practices could lead to a decreased demand for our services or to reduced profitability;
-- Failure to execute our Medicare Part D prescription drug benefits strategy could adversely impact our business and financial results;
-- PBMs could be subject to claims under ERISA if they are found to be a fiduciary of a health benefit plan governed by ERISA;
-- Pending litigation could adversely impact our business practices and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and operating results;
-- We are subject to corporate integrity agreements and noncompliance may impede our ability to conduct business with the federal government;
-- Legislative or regulatory initiatives that restrict or prohibit the PBM industry's ability to use patient identifiable medical information could limit our ability to use information that is critical to the operation of our business;
-- Our specialty pharmacy business is highly dependent on our relationships with a limited number of biopharmaceutical suppliers and the loss of any of these relationships could significantly impact our ability to sustain or increase our revenues;
-- Our ability to grow our specialty pharmacy business could be limited if we do not expand our existing base of drugs or if we lose patients;
-- Our specialty pharmacy business, certain revenues from diabetes testing supplies and our Medicare Part D offerings expose us to increased credit risk;
-- Changes in industry pricing benchmarks could adversely affect our financial performance;
-- The terms and covenants relating to our existing indebtedness could adversely impact our financial performance;
-- Prescription volumes may decline, and our net revenues and profitability may be negatively impacted, if products are withdrawn from the market, if prescription drugs transition to over-the-counter products, or if increased safety risk profiles of specific drugs result in utilization decreases;
-- We may be subject to liability claims for damages and other expenses that are not covered by insurance;
-- The success of our business depends on maintaining a well-secured pharmacy operation and technology infrastructure and failure to execute could adversely impact our business;
-- We could be required to record a material non-cash charge to income if our recorded intangible assets or goodwill are impaired, or if we shorten intangible asset useful lives;
-- Changes in reimbursement rates, including competitive bidding for durable medical equipment suppliers, could negatively affect our PolyMedica diabetes testing supplies revenues and profits under our Liberty brand; and
-- Anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws could delay or deter a change in control and make it more difficult to remove incumbent officers and directors.
The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect our business described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
