CARDINAL HEALTH REPORTS FOURTH-QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR RESULTS,
PROVIDES FISCAL 2015 OUTLOOK
•
Non-GAAP1 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 5 percent to $0.83 per share for the fourth quarter and 3 percent to $3.84 per share for fiscal 2014
•
Fourth quarter non-GAAP operating earnings decreased 2 percent to $461 million

•
Fiscal 2015 outlook for non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $4.10 to $4.30
DUBLIN, Ohio, Aug 4, 2014 - Cardinal Health today reported earnings for its fiscal 2014 fourth quarter and year-end.
Fourth-quarter fiscal year 2014 revenue was $22.9 billion, down 10 percent from the prior fiscal year. Fourth-quarter revenue was up 12 percent excluding the impact of the Walgreens contract expiration. Non-GAAP operating earnings for the fourth quarter were $461 million. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations were $0.83, an increase of 5 percent. On a GAAP basis, operating earnings and diluted EPS from continuing operations for the fourth quarter were $387 million and $0.68, respectively, compared with a loss of $442 million and $1.72, respectively, in the prior-year quarter. GAAP results in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 reflected a goodwill impairment charge associated with the company's nuclear division.
Fiscal year 2014 revenue was $91.1 billion. Non-GAAP operating earnings increased 4 percent to $2.1 billion, and non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations increased 3 percent to $3.84. On a GAAP basis, operating earnings and diluted EPS from continuing operations for fiscal year 2014 were $1.9 billion and $3.37, respectively, an increase of 89 percent and 247 percent, respectively, from the prior fiscal year.
“I am extremely proud of the progress we made in a year of transition for both Cardinal Health and the health care system. The organization more than met the challenge, reporting strong performance in non-GAAP operating earnings, EPS, operating cash flow and cash returned to shareholders,” said George Barrett, chairman and chief executive officer of Cardinal Health. 
"We made significant progress on our strategic priorities: launching the largest generic purchasing entity in the U.S. through our joint venture with CVS Caremark, expanding our position and capabilities in specialty, substantially increasing our line of consumable medical products, taking significant steps to enhance our program on physician preference items in both cardiovascular and orthopedics, enlarging our footprint in the home, and showing continued strong growth in China.”
In fiscal year 2014, the company generated $2.5 billion in operating cash flow and returned $1.1 billion to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.
Barrett continued, “We enter fiscal year 2015 well-positioned to address the needs of a rapidly changing health care system. Our fiscal year 2015 outlook for non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations is $4.10 to $4.30.”

SEGMENT RESULTS
Pharmaceutical Segment
Fourth-quarter revenue for the Pharmaceutical segment decreased 12 percent to $20.1 billion, and segment profit decreased 5 percent to $377 million. The decrease in both segment revenue and profit was due to the continuing impact of the expiration of the Walgreens contract.
Excluding the impact of Walgreens, fourth-quarter revenue for the Pharmaceutical segment grew 13 percent, driven by organic sales growth, growth in the company’s Specialty Solutions division, and China. The impact of the Walgreens contract expiration on segment profit was partially offset by strong performance under generic programs.
For the full year, revenue for the Pharmaceutical segment decreased 12 percent to $80.1 billion, and segment profit increased 1 percent to $1.7 billion.

Medical Segment
Fourth-quarter revenue for the Medical segment increased 4 percent to $2.8 billion, driven by growth in existing customers, including solid growth in strategic hospital network accounts, and acquisitions. Segment profit decreased 8 percent to $96 million, primarily due to a year-over-year increase in enterprise incentive compensation and market pressures in Canada.
For the full year, Medical segment revenue increased 9 percent to $11.0 billion, and segment profit increased 19 percent to $444 million.

Revenue from Walgreens was $5.0 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Revenue from Walgreens was $3.3 billion and $20.2 billion for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding the impact of the Walgreens contract expiration, the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter and fiscal year revenue growth rate would have been 12 percent and 8 percent, respectively.
2 
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the goodwill impairment charge related to our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division favorably impacted the effective tax rate from continuing operations by 60.6 percentage points.
3 
Fiscal 2013 includes an out-of-period increase in income tax expense of $14 million recorded during the fourth quarter, related to uncertain tax benefits.
4 
For fiscal 2013, the goodwill impairment charge related to our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division adversely impacted the effective tax rate from continuing operations by 28.3 percentage points. In addition, the revaluation of the deferred tax liability and related interest on unrepatriated foreign earnings as a result of an agreement with tax authorities reduced, for fiscal 2013, both the effective tax rate from continuing operations and non-GAAP effective tax rate from continuing operations by 7.2 and 3.3 percentage points, respectively. The fiscal 2013 non-GAAP effective tax rate from continuing operations, excluding the impact of the tax settlement, would have been 37.0 percent.
The sum of the components may not equal the total due to rounding.
Refer to the GAAP/Non-GAAP reconciliation for definitions and calculations supporting the Non-GAAP balances.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we recorded an out-of-period decrease in revenue of $14 million related to pricing adjustments. The related tax benefit was $5 million and both GAAP and Non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations decreased $0.02.
2 
For fiscal 2013, the weighted-average number of shares used in the non-GAAP calculation was 345 million shares, which includes 4 million dilutive potential common shares, as there was income from continuing operations on a non-GAAP basis.
3 
The fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2013 both include an $829 million goodwill impairment charge related to our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division. The related tax benefit was $30 million and GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations decreased $2.32.
4 
Fiscal 2014 earnings from continuing operations includes a $63 million benefit related to the settlement of federal and state tax controversies, partially offset by a $56 million charge related to the remeasurement of unrecognized tax benefits, each of which contributed $0.18 and ($0.16), or $0.02 net, to both diluted EPS from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations, respectively. Fiscal 2013 earnings from continuing operations includes a $64 million benefit related to the revaluation of the deferred tax liability and related interest on unrepatriated foreign earnings as a result of an agreement with tax authorities, which contributed $0.18 to both diluted EPS from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations. The fiscal 2014 growth rates for diluted EPS from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations, excluding the impact of the tax items in each fiscal year, would have been 324 percent and 8 percent, respectively.
The sum of the components may not equal the total due to rounding.
We apply varying tax rates depending on the item's nature and tax jurisdiction where it is incurred.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present 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. We are unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because we cannot reliably forecast restructuring and employee severance, amortization and other acquisition-related costs, impairments and loss on disposal of assets, litigation (recoveries)/charges, net and LIFO charges/(credits), which are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact our future financial results.



Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This earnings release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In general, the measures exclude items and charges that (i) management does not believe reflect Cardinal Health, Inc.'s (the "Company") core business and relate more to strategic, multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company’s performance, evaluate the balance sheet, engage in financial and operational planning and determine incentive compensation.
Beginning in fiscal 2015, the Company will exclude last-in, first-out ("LIFO") inventory charges/(credits)5 from its non-GAAP earnings, for consistency with the presentation by some of its peers. The Company did not record any LIFO charges or credits in fiscal 2014 or 2013.
Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on its financial and operating results and in comparing the Company’s performance to that of its competitors. However, the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth above should be carefully evaluated.
