DUBLIN, Ohio, April 29, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Cardinal Health today reported fiscal third-quarter revenue of $24.3 billion and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations(1) of $0.61.
The quarter was highlighted by a 7 percent increase in Pharmaceutical segment profit and strong operating cash flow of $879 million for the quarter.
GAAP operating earnings declined 4 percent to $366 million, or 7 percent to $385 million on a non-GAAP basis. SG&A expense was higher sequentially and year over year due to performance-based employee compensation that reflects the company's expected fiscal 2010 results.
Third-quarter GAAP earnings from continuing operations were $225 million or $0.62 per share. GAAP results include a positive $0.01 per share net after-tax contribution, primarily from the gain on the sale of CareFusion stock and partially offset by the after-tax impact from impairments and loss on the sale of assets.
"We are pleased with our third-quarter performance and our continued momentum for the year," said George Barrett, chairman and CEO of Cardinal Health. "We had strong performance from our Pharmaceutical segment, which was better than we anticipated. As expected, our Medical segment declined versus the same period last year, but grew sequentially from the prior quarter. We were particularly encouraged by the year-over-year growth in our gross margin rate, and another strong quarter of operating cash flow and working capital improvements."

THIRD-QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS
Pharmaceutical Segment
Revenue for the Pharmaceutical segment increased to $22.2 billion. Sales to non-bulk customers increased 0.5 percent to $11.3 billion and sales to bulk customers increased 0.5 percent to $10.9 billion. Segment profit increased 7 percent to $307 million primarily driven by solid performance from branded manufacturer agreements, positive margin contribution from the company's generic programs and disciplined expense management. The increase in segment profit was partially offset by previously disclosed contract repricings and the Medicine Shoppe International transition. The company continues to actively manage supply disruptions of medical isotopes for its nuclear pharmacy business. These shortages are now expected to continue through at least the first quarter of next fiscal year.
In addition, the company completed the sale of its SpecialtyScripts business during the third quarter and recently entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Martindale generic injectible manufacturing business, which it expects to close before the end of the fiscal year.
Q3 FY10 Q3 FY09 Y/Y ------- ------- --- Revenue $22.2 billion $22.1 billion 0.5% ------- ------------- ------------- --- Segment Profit $307 million $286 million 7% ------- ------------ ------------ ---
Medical Segment
Revenue for the Medical segment increased 7 percent to $2.1 billion, primarily from sales growth with existing domestic customers and strong revenue growth from the Canadian business. As expected, segment profit declined 16 percent year over year to $108 million, primarily due to an unusual year-over-year comparison in the cost of goods sold, the aforementioned impact of performance-based employee compensation and increased investment spend associated with the Medical Business Transformation. The decline in segment profit was partially offset by the positive profit impact from revenue growth within the lab and ambulatory businesses and preferred products. Segment profit increased sequentially from the second quarter as anticipated and is expected to return to year-over-year growth for the fourth quarter.

FISCAL Q4 AND FISCAL 2011 OUTLOOK
"With the first nine months of the fiscal year behind us, we are trending slightly better than our previous expectations, and we now anticipate non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations for fiscal 2010 will be in the range of $2.15 to $2.20," Barrett said.
"Although we don't typically provide annual guidance at the end of the third quarter, this has been a year of transitions for Cardinal Health, and we wanted to provide an early look at fiscal 2011. Based on the progress we've made year-to-date, our preliminary view of fiscal 2011 non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations is in the range of $2.35 to $2.45. We expect to provide more specifics for fiscal 2011 when we report fourth-quarter and full-year results."

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, including per share calculations) 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 directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because the Company cannot reliably forecast restructuring and employee severance, impairments and loss on sale of assets, litigation (credits)/charges, net, other spin-off costs and gains or losses on sale of CareFusion stock, 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. CARDINAL HEALTH, INC.
