WOONSOCKET, RHODE ISLAND, August 4, 2015 - CVS Health Corporation (NYSE: CVS) today announced operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Revenues
 
Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015, increased 7.4%, or $2.6 billion, to $37.2 billion compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Revenues in the Pharmacy Services Segment increased 11.9%, or $2.6 billion, to $24.4 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily driven by growth in specialty pharmacy and pharmacy network claims. Pharmacy network claims processed during the three months ended June 30, 2015, increased 8.7% to approximately 229 million compared to 210 million in the prior year. The increase in the pharmacy network claim volume was primarily due to net new business as well as growth in Managed Medicaid. Mail choice claims processed during the three months ended June 30, 2015, increased 3.9% to 21.3 million, compared to 20.5 million in the prior year. The increase in mail choice claims was driven by specialty claim volume and increased claims associated with the continued adoption of our Maintenance Choice® offerings.
 
Revenues in the Retail Pharmacy Segment increased 2.2%, or $371 million, to $17.2 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2015. Same store sales increased 0.5% versus the second quarter of last year, with pharmacy same store sales up 4.1% and front store same store sales down 7.8%. On a comparable basis, front store same store sales would have been approximately 780 basis points higher if tobacco and the estimated associated basket sales were excluded from the three months ended June 30, 2014. Front store same store sales were impacted by softer customer traffic, partially offset by an increase in basket size. Pharmacy same store prescription volumes rose 4.8% on a 30-day equivalent basis. Pharmacy same store sales were negatively impacted by approximately 370 basis points from recent generic drug introductions and by approximately 80 basis points from the implementation of Specialty Connect®. The implementation of Specialty Connect had a greater effect on revenues than prescription volumes due to the higher dollar value of specialty products.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the generic dispensing rate increased approximately 150 basis points from the prior year in both segments, rising to 83.9% in the Pharmacy Services Segment and 85.0% in the Retail Pharmacy Segment.

Operating Profit and Net Income
 
Operating profit for the Pharmacy Services Segment increased 7.1% and for the Retail Pharmacy Segment declined 1.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Both segments benefited from the impact of increased generic drugs dispensed and favorable purchasing economics. The Pharmacy Services Segment was also positively impacted by growth in specialty pharmacy and pharmacy network volume, partially offset by price compression. The Retail Pharmacy Segment was negatively impacted by continued reimbursement pressure, partially offset by increased sales and an improved front store margin rate, largely driven by the removal of tobacco products and changes in product mix. The Corporate Segment includes $21 million of acquisition-related transaction costs for the three months ended June 30, 2015 related to the proposed acquisitions of Omnicare, Inc. (“Omnicare”) and the pharmacies and clinics of Target Corporation (“Target”). The acquisition of Omnicare is expected to close prior to the end of 2015, potentially as early as the third quarter. The close of the acquisition of the pharmacies and clinics of Target is uncertain and could occur in either 2015 or 2016.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2015, increased 2.1%, or $26 million, to $1.3 billion, compared with approximately $1.2 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2014. In addition to the $21 million of transaction costs discussed above, net income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 also included $36 million of pre-tax acquisition-related financing costs related to the proposed Omnicare and Target acquisitions (combined impact of approximately $0.03 per diluted share). Excluding the acquisition-related transaction and financing costs, net income increased 4.9%(1). Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, was $1.19 and $1.13, respectively. Excluding the acquisition-related transaction and financing costs, Adjusted EPS increased 7.7% to $1.22. Adjusted EPS in the three months ended June 30, excludes $131 million and $133 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively, of intangible asset amortization related to acquisition activity. GAAP earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, was $1.12 and $1.06, respectively, an increase of 5.3%, which includes the acquisition-related transaction and financing costs.
 
President and Chief Executive Officer Larry Merlo stated, “I’m very pleased to report second quarter results that exceeded our expectations. On an underlying basis, we surpassed the high end of our guidance range by two cents, as operating profit in the retail business exceeded our expectations while operating profit in the PBM was in line with our guidance. We have also generated more than $2.1 billion in free cash flow in the first half of 2015, putting us well on our way to return more than $6 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases this year.”

Mr. Merlo continued, “Additionally, I’m pleased to report that we’re having a highly successful 2016 PBM selling season and have won significant net new business. Our unmatched suite of assets is enabling us to bring innovative, channel-agnostic products and services to the marketplace. In this era of consumer-directed health care, our assets have uniquely positioned us to provide patients with greater choice as to how they receive their pharmacy care while driving positive impacts on adherence through face-to-face interactions. This should result in lower overall health care costs providing savings for clients as well as better health outcomes and convenience for patients.”
 
Guidance
 
Given the strong performance this quarter, along with the previously-announced acquisition-related decision to reduce this year's share repurchases by $1 billion, the Company narrowed guidance for the full year 2015 and now expects to deliver Adjusted EPS of $5.11 to $5.18, from $5.08 to $5.19 and GAAP diluted EPS of $4.64 to $4.71, from $4.80 to $4.91. This Adjusted EPS guidance excludes the impact of acquisition-related transaction and financing costs that have been recorded ($21 million of transaction costs and $36 million of financing costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, or approximately $0.03 per share), and any additional costs that would be recorded if the proposed acquisitions of Omnicare and the pharmacies and clinics of Target close prior to the end of 2015. The Company continues to expect to deliver 2015 free cash flow of $5.9 billion to $6.2 billion, and 2015 cash flow from operations of $7.6 billion to $7.9 billion. For the third quarter of 2015, the Company expects to deliver Adjusted EPS of $1.27 to $1.30, excluding any acquisition-related transaction and financing costs, and GAAP diluted EPS of $1.13 to $1.16.

Real Estate Program
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company opened 25 new retail drugstores and closed 5 retail drugstores and one branch for infusion and enteral services. In addition, the Company relocated 16 retail drugstores. As of June 30, 2015, the

Excluding $21 million of pre-tax ($13 million after-tax) acquisition-related transaction costs and $36 million of pre-tax ($22 million after-tax) acquisition-related financing costs for the three months ended June 30, 2015, net income increased $61 million or 4.9% from $1,246 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $1,307 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share
(Unaudited)
 
For internal comparisons, management finds it useful to assess year-over-year performance by adjusting diluted earnings per share for amortization, which primarily relates to acquisition activities.
 
The Company defines adjusted earnings per share as income before income tax provision plus amortization, less adjusted income tax provision and other, which is comprised of earnings allocated to participating securities, divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
 
The following is a reconciliation of income before income tax provision to adjusted earnings per share:

(1)         Net revenues of the Pharmacy Services Segment include approximately $2.2 billion and $2.0 billion of retail co-payments for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as well as $4.7 billion and $4.2 billion of retail co-payments for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
(2)
 Intersegment eliminations relate to two types of transactions: (i) Intersegment revenues that occur when Pharmacy Services Segment customers use Retail Pharmacy Segment stores to purchase covered products. When this occurs, both the Pharmacy Services and Retail Pharmacy segments record the revenue on a stand-alone basis, and (ii) Intersegment revenues, gross profit and operating profit that occur when Pharmacy Services Segment customers, through the Company’s intersegment activities (such as the Maintenance Choice® program), elect to pick-up their maintenance prescriptions at Retail Pharmacy Segment stores instead of receiving them through the mail. When this occurs, both the Pharmacy Services and Retail Pharmacy segments record the revenue, gross profit and operating profit on a standalone basis. The following amounts are eliminated in consolidation in connection with the intersegment activity described in item (ii) above: net revenues of $1.2 billion for both the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and $2.4 billion and $2.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively; gross profit of $161 million and $170 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $318 million and $346 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively; and operating profit of $144 million and $170 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $285 million and $346 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
(3)
The Corporate Segment operating loss includes $21 million of acquisition-related transaction costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share Guidance
(Unaudited)
 
The following reconciliation of estimated income before income tax provision to estimated adjusted earnings per share contains forward-looking information. All forward-looking information involves risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking information for a number of reasons as described in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section and under the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For internal comparisons, management finds it useful to assess year-over-year performance by adjusting diluted earnings per share for amortization, which primarily relates to acquisition activities.
