Third Quarter GAAP Results

  • Revenue: In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, revenue was $53.4 billion, up 17.7 percent compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, reflecting a 13.2 percent increase in Pharmaceutical Distribution Services revenue and a 128.0 percent increase in revenue within Other primarily driven by the June 2021 acquisition of Alliance Healthcare.
  • Gross Profit: Gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $1.9 billion, a 54.0 percent increase compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. Gross profit was favorably impacted by increases in gross profit in Pharmaceutical Distribution Services and Other, a LIFO credit in the current year quarter in comparison to a LIFO expense in the prior year quarter and increases in gains from antitrust litigation settlements. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 3.54%, an increase of 84 basis points from the prior year quarter primarily driven by the acquisition of Alliance Healthcare, an increase in sales of specialty products in Pharmaceutical Distribution Services and growth in some of the Company's higher margin businesses.
  • Operating Expenses: In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, operating expenses were $1,267.5 million, a 54.4 percent increase compared to the same period last fiscal year. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the acquisition of Alliance Healthcare and a $124.3 million accrual related to opioid settlement discussions. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue in the fiscal 2021 third quarter were 2.37 percent, compared to 1.81 percent for the same period in the previous fiscal year primarily due to the items mentioned above.
  • Operating Income: In the fiscal 2021 third quarter, operating income increased to $620.7 million from $404.8 million. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 1.16 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to 0.89 percent for the same period in the previous fiscal year primarily due to the acquisition of Alliance Healthcare and growth in some of the Company's higher margin businesses.
  • Interest Expense, Net: In the fiscal 2021 third quarter, net interest expense of $51.3 million was up 36.0 percent versus the prior year quarter due to the issuance of debt to finance a portion of the acquisition of Alliance Healthcare.
  • Effective Tax Rate: The effective tax rate was 48.5 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily due to tax reform in the United Kingdom. This compares to 16.5 percent in the prior year quarter, which was favorably impacted by a discrete tax benefit.
  • Diluted Earnings Per Share: Diluted earnings per share was $1.40 in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $1.41 in the previous fiscal year’s third quarter.
  • Diluted Shares Outstanding: Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 were 208.9 million, a 1.6 percent increase versus the prior fiscal year third quarter resulting from stock option exercises, restricted stock vesting, and the issuance of 2 million Company shares to Walgreens for the June 2021 acquisition of Alliance Healthcare.

Third Quarter Adjusted (non-GAAP) Results

  • Revenue: No adjustments were made to the GAAP presentation of revenue. In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, revenue was $53.4 billion, up 17.7 percent compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, reflecting a 13.2 percent increase in Pharmaceutical Distribution Services revenue and an 128.0 percent increase in revenue within Other primarily driven by the June 2021 acquisition of Alliance Healthcare.
  • Adjusted Gross Profit: Adjusted gross profit in the fiscal 2021 third quarter was $1.6 billion, which was up 32.0 percent compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year due to the Alliance Healthcare acquisition and increases in gross profit in Pharmaceutical Distribution Services and Other. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 3.05 percent in the fiscal 2021 third quarter, an increase of 33 basis points when compared to the prior year quarter primarily driven by the Alliance Healthcare acquisition, an increase in sales of specialty products in Pharmaceutical Distribution Services and growth in some of the Company's higher margin businesses.
  • Adjusted Operating Expenses: In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, adjusted operating expenses were $996.2 million, an increase of 37.5 percent compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year due to the acquisition of Alliance Healthcare and an increase in payroll-related operating costs to support the Company's current and future revenue growth. Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of revenue in the fiscal 2021 third quarter was 1.87 percent, an increase of 27 basis points when compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the acquisition of Alliance Healthcare.
  • Adjusted Operating Income: In the fiscal 2021 third quarter, adjusted operating income of $630.6 million increased 24.3 percent from the prior year quarter due to a 13.4 percent increase in Pharmaceutical Distribution Services' operating income and a 77.2 percent increase in operating income within Other. Adjusted operating income as a percentage of revenue was 1.18 percent in the fiscal 2021 third quarter, an increase of 6 basis points when compared to the prior year quarter due to the Alliance Healthcare acquisition and growth in higher margin businesses.
  • Interest Expense, Net: No adjustments were made to the GAAP presentation of net interest expense. In the fiscal 2021 third quarter, net interest expense of $51.3 million was up 36.0 percent versus the prior year quarter due to the issuance of debt to finance a portion of the acquisition of Alliance Healthcare.
  • Adjusted Effective Tax Rate: The adjusted effective tax rate was 21.0 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 18.8 percent in the prior year quarter, which benefited from a discrete tax item.
  • Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted diluted earnings per share was up 16.8 percent to $2.16 in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $1.85 in the previous fiscal year’s third quarter, driven by the increase in adjusted operating income and partially offset by higher interest expense, a higher effective tax rate, and a higher diluted share count.
  • Diluted Shares Outstanding: No adjustments were made to the GAAP presentation of diluted shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 were 208.9 million, a 1.6 percent increase versus the prior fiscal year third quarter resulting from stock option exercises, restricted stock vesting, and the issuance of 2 million Company shares to Walgreens for the June 2021 acquisition of Alliance Healthcare.

Segment Discussion

The Company's operations are comprised of the Pharmaceutical Distribution Services reportable segment and other operating segments that are not significant enough to require separate reportable segment disclosure and, therefore, have been included in Other for the purpose of the reportable segment presentation. Other consists of operating segments that focus on global commercialization services, animal health (MWI Animal Health or "MWI"), and international pharmaceutical wholesale and related service operations (Alliance Healthcare). The operating segments that focus on global commercialization services include AmerisourceBergen Consulting Services ("ABCS") and World Courier.

Pharmaceutical Distribution Services Segment

Pharmaceutical Distribution Services revenue was $49.3 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, an increase of 13.2 percent compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year primarily due to increased sales of specialty products, including COVID-19 treatments, and overall market growth. Segment operating income of $483.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was up 13.4 percent compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year as a result of strong performance across our distribution businesses including increased sales of specialty products.

Other

Revenue in Other was $4.1 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, an increase of 128.0 percent compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to the acquisition of Alliance Healthcare and growth in the other operating segments: MWI, World Courier, and ABCS.

Fiscal Year 2021 Expectations

The Company does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis as certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available or cannot be reasonably estimated. Please refer to the Supplemental Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures following the tables for additional information.

Fiscal Year 2021 Expectations on an Adjusted (non-GAAP) Basis

In June 2021, AmerisourceBergen updated its fiscal year 2021 financial guidance for revenue, adjusted diluted EPS and weighted average shares following the closing of the Alliance Healthcare acquisition to reflect the expected contribution from Alliance Healthcare and the weighted average share count impact of the 2 million shares of AmerisourceBergen common stock that the Company delivered to Walgreens at the closing of the transaction.

AmerisourceBergen is now updating its fiscal year 2021 financial guidance to reflect the Company’s continued strong performance across its businesses. The Company now expects:

  • Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $9.15 to $9.30, raised from the previous range of $8.90 to $9.10.

Additional expectations now include:

  • Adjusted operating expense to be approximately $3.9 billion, up from growth in the high-single digit percent range;
  • Adjusted operating income to be approximately $2.6 billion, up from growth in the high-single digit percent range;
    • Pharmaceutical Distribution Services operating income growth to be in the low-double digit percent range, up from growth in the high-single digit percent range;

    • Other, which is comprised of Alliance Healthcare and the Global Commercialization Services & Animal Health businesses, operating income to be approximately $610 to $620 million, up from growth in the low-double digit percent range; and

  • Adjusted free cash flow to be approximately $1.7 billion, up from approximately $1.5 billion.

All other previously communicated aspects of the Company's fiscal year 2021 financial guidance and assumptions remain the same.

2 Includes a $590.2 million increase in income tax receivable for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 primarily as a result of recognizing certain discrete tax benefits.

3 Includes proceeds from the issuance of the Company's $1,525 million of 0.737% senior notes, $1,000 million of 2.700% senior notes, and $500 million of term loan, all of which were used to finance a portion of the June 2021 acquisition of Alliance Healthcare.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION REGARDING

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures described below. The non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These supplemental measures may vary from, and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, to perform financial planning, and to determine incentive compensation. Therefore, the Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors. The presented non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that management does not believe reflect the Company’s core operating performance because such items are outside the control of the Company or are inherently unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring, or non-cash. We have included the following non-GAAP earnings-related financial measures in this release:

  • Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin: Adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes gains from antitrust litigation settlements, LIFO expense (credit), and certain PharMEDium shutdown and remediation costs. Adjusted gross profit margin is the ratio of adjusted gross profit to total revenue. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as a supplemental measure of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Gains from antitrust litigation settlements and LIFO expense (credit) are excluded because the Company cannot control the amounts recognized or timing of these items. PharMEDium remediation costs are excluded because they were unpredictable expenses. PharMEDium shutdown costs are excluded because they were unusual and non-recurring. Gains from antitrust litigation settlements relate to the settlement of lawsuits that have been filed against brand pharmaceutical manufacturers alleging that the manufacturer, by itself or in concert with others, took improper actions to delay or prevent generic drugs from entering the market. The PharMEDium remediation costs relate to costs incurred in connection with suspended production activities following U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspections. PharMEDium shutdown costs were costs incurred in connection with the permanent shutdown of the PharMEDium business. LIFO expense (credit) is affected by changes in inventory quantities, product mix, and manufacturer pricing practices, which may be impacted by market and other external influences.
  • Adjusted operating expenses and adjusted operating expense margin: Adjusted operating expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes acquisition-related intangibles amortization, employee severance, litigation, and other, certain PharMEDium shutdown and remediation costs, impairment of PharMEDium assets, and a contingent consideration adjustment. Adjusted operating expense margin is the ratio of adjusted operating expenses to total revenue. Acquisition-related intangibles amortization is excluded because it is a non-cash item and does not reflect the operating performance of the acquired companies. We exclude employee severance amounts that relate to unpredictable and/or non-recurring business restructuring. We exclude the amount of litigation settlements and other expenses, as well as PharMEDium shutdown and remediation costs, a contingent consideration adjustment and the impairment of PharMEDium assets, that are unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring or non-cash in nature because we believe these exclusions facilitate the analysis of our ongoing operational performance. The contingent consideration adjustment reflects an adjustment made by one of the Company’s non-wholly-owned subsidiaries, Profarma Distribuidora de Produtos Farmacêuticos S.A., of its previous estimate of contingent consideration related to the purchase price of a prior business acquisition.
  • Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin: Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the same items that are described above and excluded from adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating expenses. Adjusted operating income margin is the ratio of adjusted operating income to total revenue. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as a supplemental way to evaluate the Company’s performance because the adjustments are unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring or non-cash in nature.
  • Adjusted income before income taxes: Adjusted income before income taxes is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the same items that are described above and excluded from adjusted operating income. In addition, the loss on the currency remeasurement of the deferred tax asset relating to Swiss tax reform in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and the loss on the early retirement of debt in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 are excluded from adjusted income before income taxes because these amounts are unusual, non-operating, and non-recurring. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it facilitates the calculation of the Company’s adjusted effective tax rate.
  • Adjusted effective tax rate: Adjusted effective tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure that is determined by dividing adjusted income tax expense/benefit by adjusted income before income taxes. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it presents an effective tax rate that does not reflect unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring, or non-cash amounts or items that are outside the control of the Company.
  • Adjusted income tax expense: Adjusted income tax expense is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the income tax expense associated with the same items that are described above and excluded from adjusted income before income taxes. Certain discrete tax benefits primarily attributable to the income tax deduction recognized in connection with the permanent shutdown of PharMEDium as well as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") are also excluded from adjusted income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and the nine months ended June 30, 2021. Further, certain expenses relating to tax reform in the United Kingdom and Switzerland are excluded from adjusted income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as a supplemental way to evaluate the Company’s performance because the adjustments are unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring or non-cash in nature.
  • Adjusted net income/loss attributable to noncontrolling interests: Adjusted net income/loss attributable to noncontrolling interests excludes the non-controlling interest portion of acquisition-related intangibles amortization and a contingent consideration adjustment. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it facilitates the calculation of adjusted net income attributable to ABC.
  • Adjusted net income attributable to ABC: Adjusted net income attributable to ABC is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the same items that are described above. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as a supplemental way to evaluate the Company's performance because the adjustments are unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring or non-cash in nature.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share: Adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes the per share impact of adjustments including gains from antitrust litigation settlements; LIFO expense (credit); PharMEDium shutdown and remediation costs; acquisition-related intangibles amortization; employee severance, litigation, and other; impairment of PharMEDium assets; the loss on the currency remeasurement related to Swiss tax reform; and a contingent consideration adjustment, in each case net of the tax effect calculated using the applicable effective tax rate for those items. In addition, the per share impact of certain discrete tax benefits primarily attributable to the income tax deduction recognized in connection with the permanent shutdown of PharMEDium as well as the CARES Act for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and the nine months ended June 30, 2021, and the per share impact of certain expenses relating to tax reform in the United Kingdom and Switzerland are also excluded from adjusted diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the per share impact of the items that are outside the control of the Company or that we consider to not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring, or non-cash nature.

In addition, the Company updated its non-GAAP fiscal year 2021 guidance for diluted earnings per share, operating expense, operating income and adjusted free cash flow, and has previously provided non-GAAP fiscal year 2021 guidance for effective income tax rate. The guidance for each metric excludes the same or similar items as those that are excluded from the historical non-GAAP financial measures, as well as significant items that are outside the control of the Company or inherently unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring or non-cash in nature. For fiscal year 2021, we have defined the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, excluding other significant unpredictable or non-recurring cash payments or receipts relating to legal settlements, minus capital expenditures. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021 adjusted free cash flow of $1,235.9 million consisted of net cash provided by operating activities of $1,656.8 million minus capital expenditures of $273.4 million and the gains from antitrust litigation settlements of $147.4 million. The Company does not provide forward looking guidance on a GAAP basis for such metrics because certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated. For example, LIFO expense (credit) is largely dependent upon the future inflation or deflation of brand and generic pharmaceuticals, which is out of the Company’s control, and acquisition-related intangibles amortization depends on the timing and amount of future acquisitions, which cannot be reasonably estimated. Similarly, the timing and amount of litigation settlements is unpredictable and non-recurring.
