CARDINAL HEALTH REPORTS STRONG Q4 AND RECORD FISCAL YEAR-END NON-GAAP OPERATING EARNINGS RESULTS
Company Points to Progress on Strategic Priorities as it Provides Fiscal 2016 Outlook
33 percent increase in non-GAAP1 operating earnings to $611 million for the fourth quarter
16 percent growth to record $2.5 billion in non-GAAP operating earnings for fiscal 2015
20 percent increase in non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to $1.00 for the fourth quarter
14 percent increase in non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to $4.38 for fiscal 2015
Fiscal 2016 outlook for non-GAAP diluted earnings per share raised to $4.85 to $5.05, or 11 to 15 percent growth in FY2016
DUBLIN, Ohio, July 30, 2015 - Cardinal Health today reported fourth-quarter fiscal year 2015 revenues of $27.5 billion, an increase of 20 percent, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations of $1.00, an increase of 20 percent. Non-GAAP operating earnings increased 33 percent to $611 million. On a GAAP basis, operating earnings increased 44 percent to $558 million, and diluted EPS from continuing operations increased 29 percent to $0.88.
Fiscal year 2015 revenues increased 13 percent to $102.5 billion, and non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations increased 14 percent to $4.38. Non-GAAP operating earnings increased 16 percent to $2.5 billion. On a GAAP basis, operating earnings and diluted EPS from continuing operations for fiscal year 2015 were $2.2 billion and $3.61, respectively, an increase of 15 percent and 7 percent, respectively, from the prior fiscal year.
"We finished our fiscal year 2015 with a very strong fourth quarter, capping off an outstanding year. During fiscal 2015, we had record non-GAAP operating earnings, achieved excellent growth in revenues and non-GAAP EPS, and generated $2.5 billion in cash flow," said George Barrett, chairman and chief executive officer of Cardinal Health.
"It was also a year of meaningful strategic initiatives, including: operationalizing Red Oak Sourcing, our generic sourcing venture with CVS Health; agreeing to acquire The Harvard Drug Group, which reinforces our position in generic drugs and telemarketing; and acquiring Metro Medical, which enhances the position of our fast-growing Specialty Solutions group," Barrett added. "We also combined forces with Henry Schein to serve office-based medical practices; enhanced our 'at Home' platform to expand the product portfolio; and, took a major step forward in our physician preference item portfolio with the planned acquisition of Cordis. At the same time, we were able to return $1.5 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
"We look forward to fiscal year 2016 and the opportunities, enhanced by these growth drivers, to serve a health care system going through significant change," Barrett concluded.
The company raised the midpoint of its fiscal year 2016 outlook for non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations, tightening the range to $4.85 to $5.05 due to its strong fiscal year 2015 performance and the momentum the company has carried into fiscal year 2016. While the company does not provide quarterly guidance, it expects financial performance to be weighted toward the second half of fiscal 2016.
In fiscal 2015, Cardinal Health generated $2.5 billion in operating cash flow and returned $1.5 billion to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.

Medical Segment
Fourth-quarter revenue for the Medical segment increased 2 percent to $2.9 billion, due to contributions from acquisitions and growth in the Cardinal Health at Home platform, partially offset by a decline in Canada. Segment profit for the quarter increased 7 percent to $103 million, due to contributions from the strategic expansion of the company's portfolio of Cardinal Health brand products and services, which was driven by a combination of acquisitions and organic efforts, coupled with targeted cost reductions, during the past year.
For the full year, Medical segment revenue increased 4 percent to $11.4 billion, and segment profit decreased 3 percent to $433 million.

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 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.
