BIOSCRIP PROVIDES BUSINESS
UPDATE ON IMPLEMENTATION OF FINANCIAL
IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND PROGRESS TO ENHANCE SHAREHOLDER VALUE
Review of Strategic Alternatives Continues
Patient Census Growth Continues, Cost
Savings Initiatives on Track and Increased Cash Collections
ELMSFORD, NY –January 19, 2016 – BioScrip,
Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOS) (“BioScrip” or the “Company”) today provided an update on the Company’s progress
implementing its Financial Improvement Plan to enhance shareholder value, improve financial flexibility and position BioScrip for
success in 2016. As previously announced, the Company expects the Financial Improvement Plan to realize $35 million – $40
million in annualized net cost savings.
As the Company stated in its third quarter 2015 financial results
in November 2015, its Financial Improvement Plan is focused on reducing costs, improving margins and aligning the Company’s
operations around a more focused core infusion business. Since the end of the third quarter 2015 the Company:
| · | Substantially completed the previously announced targeted workforce reduction and remains on track to deliver the expected
$19 million in annual cost savings in 2016; |
| · | Achieved the anticipated additional supply chain program initiatives that are expected to add $3 million in annual savings
in 2016; |
| · | Effected the
initiatives expected to reduce corporate costs by $5 million in 2016; and |
| · | Implemented cost reduction programs that are expected to reduce infusion field costs by $5 million in 2016. These cost reductions
are in specific targeted areas that include improved nursing utilization and productivity, travel expense, office expense, and
other variable cost categories. |
Carter Pate, Chair of the Financial Improvement Plan Committee
of the Board of Directors, said, “We made significant progress towards implementing our cost savings and financial improvement
initiatives during the fourth quarter. We continue to believe in the strength of the Company’s infusion services platform
and the direction in which the business is heading.”
Rick Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioScrip,
said, “Our preliminary results for the fourth quarter 2015 reflect increased patients serviced in the fourth quarter compared
to the fourth quarter of 2014, continued progress in the successful execution of our cost reduction initiatives and enhanced focus
on our operations. Our team is encouraged by our progress as we enter 2016. We are committed to realizing the benefits of the Financial
Improvement Plan and creating value for our shareholders.”
With the continued implementation of the Company’s financial
improvement programs, FTI Consulting’s engagement has concluded and Scott Davido is no longer acting as chief implementation
officer.
Preliminary Fourth Quarter 2015 Expectations
The Company also announced today certain unaudited preliminary
fourth quarter 2015 financial results. The Company anticipates total patient census growth of approximately 4% in the fourth quarter
of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The Company anticipates Core Therapy patient census growth of approximately 9% in
the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the fourth quarter BioScrip generated increased cash
collections sequentially compared to the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Company generated its highest quarterly infusion
division cash collection total for 2015. In addition, during the fourth quarter the Company collected approximately $6.8 million
on an account receivable balance from a former PBM vendor. The Company had retained this receivable, which was excluded from the
sale of the PBM business.
As of December 31, 2015, the Company had reduced the amount
of borrowings outstanding on its Revolving Line of Credit to $15 million compared to $30 million of borrowings outstanding as of
September 30, 2015. The Company improved its cash flow in 2015 and expects to be operating cash flow positive in 2016. In addition,
the Company expects to pay down more than $12 million of bank term debt in 2016 from operating cash flow.
Exploration of Strategic Alternatives
As previously announced, BioScrip is executing on its Financial
Improvement Plan and, with the assistance of its financial advisor, is reviewing a range of strategic alternatives, which could
include, among other options, a potential sale or merger of the Company. As noted previously, the exploration of strategic alternatives
will not necessarily result in any changes to the Company's current business plan and Financial Improvement Plan or any transactions
or agreements. The Company does not intend to disclose developments regarding the exploration of strategic alternatives unless
and until a final decision is made.
BioScrip Fourth Quarter 2015 Results Call
The Company expects to announce the release date of its fourth
quarter 2015 financial results within the next four weeks.
