CARDINAL HEALTH REPORTS FISCAL 2015 THIRD-QUARTER RESULTS
Revenue increased 18 percent to $25.4 billion
Non-GAAP1 operating earnings increased 17 percent to $657 million
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 18 percent to $1.19
DUBLIN, Ohio, April 30, 2015 - Cardinal Health today reported fiscal year 2015 third-quarter revenue of $25.4 billion and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations of $1.19. Non-GAAP operating earnings increased 17 percent to $657 million. On a GAAP basis, operating earnings increased 16 percent to $591 million, and diluted EPS from continuing operations increased 20 percent to $1.09.
“We're pleased to report strong overall results for the third quarter while continuing to make the moves to lead and create value in today's dynamic healthcare environment," said George Barrett, chairman and chief executive officer of Cardinal Health. "During this past quarter, we announced our plan to acquire Cordis, significantly enhancing our scale, product line, and capabilities in the cardiovascular area. This move aligns squarely with our strategy around physician preference items. Further, our recent acquisition of the specialty distribution business of Metro Medical expands our scale in specialty pharma and extends our reach into additional therapeutic areas.”
He continued, "In light of our performance to date, we are increasingly comfortable with the upper half of the guidance range of $4.28 to $4.38 for our fiscal 2015 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations."

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 (gain)/loss on disposal of assets, litigation (recoveries)/charges, net, LIFO charges/(credits) and loss on extinguishment of debt, 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.
In fiscal 2015, the Company began excluding 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 the first, second or third quarters of fiscal 2015 or 2014, respectively. In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company excluded the loss on extinguishment of debt6 related to the early redemption of debt that occurred in December 2014 from its non-GAAP earnings.
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.
