July 24, 2008

Significant Operating Margin Expansion

VALLEY FORGE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 2008--AmerisourceBergen Corporation (NYSE:ABC) today reported that in its fiscal year 2008 third quarter ended June 30, 2008, total revenue increased 10 percent to a record $18.0 billion, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.70 including $0.03 in special charges, up 4 percent, and the Pharmaceutical Distribution operating margin increased 10 basis points.

AmerisourceBergen also announced that the Company has signed an agreement to sell its PMSI workers' compensation business to H.I.G. Capital, LLC for approximately $40 million, plus a contingency payment of up to an additional $10 million and subject to adjustments at closing. As a result, AmerisourceBergen is taking a non-cash charge of $222 million in the June quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company expects to complete the transaction by the end of September this year. In addition, results for the current and prior fiscal year for PMSI, including the charge, have been reclassified as a discontinued operation.

    Fiscal Third Quarter Highlights

    --  Record total revenue of $18.0 billion, up 10 percent.

    --  Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of
        $0.70, including $0.03 in special charges, a 4 percent
        increase; and up 30 percent when excluding PharMerica LTC in
        the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and special items in the same
        period of fiscal years 2007 and 2008.

    --  Pharmaceutical Distribution operating margin of 1.14 percent,
        up 10 basis points.

    --  Cash flow from operations of $131 million.

    --  $159 million of share repurchases.

    Fiscal First Nine Months Highlights

    --  Record total revenue of $53.0 billion, up 7 percent.

    --  Record diluted earnings per share from continuing operations
        of $2.16, including $0.03 in special charges, a 13 percent
        increase; and up 24 percent when excluding PharMerica LTC in
        fiscal 2007 and special items in the same period of fiscal
        years 2007 and 2008.

    --  Pharmaceutical Distribution operating margin of 1.19 percent,
        up 4 basis points.

    --  Cash flow from operations of $223 million.

    --  $554 million in share repurchases.

"Our outstanding June quarter results in continuing operations were driven by excellent performance across the core distribution businesses, including our specialty business," said R. David Yost, AmerisourceBergen's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Above-market revenue growth, solid manufacturer price appreciation, and outstanding expense management all played a key role in delivering the results. This superior performance was achieved in a pharmaceutical market that was soft by historical standards. Our working capital management remains exceptional; we improved our liquidity in the quarter; and we continue to have a strong balance sheet."

Commenting on the sale of PMSI, Yost said, "We were very disappointed with PMSI's performance in this quarter, and after re-evaluating our alternatives, we decided to sell the PMSI workers' compensation business in order to focus our full attention on our pharmaceutical distribution and related businesses and allow H.I.G. to focus on the opportunities at PMSI.

"Based on our strong performance, we have raised our expectations for diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for fiscal year 2008 to a range of $2.81 to $2.89 from the previous range of $2.77 to $2.87. This guidance includes $0.03 of special charges and no contribution from PMSI."

    Consolidated Results

    --  Total revenue was $18.0 billion in the third quarter of fiscal
        2008 compared to $16.3 billion for the same period last year,
        a 10 percent increase, reflecting an 11 percent increase in
        the Pharmaceutical Distribution Segment.

    --  Despite the 22 percent increase in operating income in the
        Pharmaceutical Distribution Segment, consolidated operating
        income in the fiscal 2008 third quarter decreased 3 percent to
        $197.5 million from $202.9 million in the previous fiscal
        year's third quarter. Special charges in the fiscal year
        2008's third quarter, primarily for employee severance as the
        Company continues to streamline its organization, had a $7.9
        million negative impact on consolidated operating income. In
        the previous fiscal year's third quarter, special items had a
        net positive impact of $28.4 million and PharMerica Long-Term
        Care (LTC), which was spun off in July 2007, contributed $6.1
        million.

    --  The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2008
        was 37.6 percent, compared to 34.8 percent in the previous
        fiscal year's third quarter. The Company expects its ongoing
        effective tax rate to be slightly above 38 percent.

    --  Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were up
        4 percent to $0.70 in the third quarter of fiscal 2008
        compared to $0.67 in the previous fiscal year's third quarter.

    --  Excluding the benefits in the third quarter of fiscal year
        2007 of $0.02 from PharMerica LTC and $0.09 in special items,
        as well as the $0.03 special charge in the same quarter of
        2008, AmerisourceBergen's diluted earnings per share from
        continuing operations in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008
        increased 30 percent.

    --  Average diluted shares outstanding for the third quarter of
        fiscal year 2008 were 161 million, down 27 million shares from
        the previous fiscal year's third quarter due to share
        repurchases, net of option exercises.

    --  In the first nine months of fiscal 2008, total revenue was
        $53.0 billion, a 7 percent increase over the $49.4 billion in
        total revenue in the previous fiscal year's first nine months.

    --  For the first nine months of fiscal 2008 diluted earnings per
        share from continuing operations were $2.16 compared to $1.91
        for the same period of the previous fiscal year, a 13 percent
        increase, and up 24 percent when excluding PharMerica LTC in
        fiscal 2007 and special items in the same period of both
        fiscal years 2007 and 2008. In the first nine months of fiscal
        2008, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations
        were reduced by $0.03 from the net impact of special items. In
        the prior year nine-month period, earnings per share from
        continuing operations benefited $0.06 per diluted share due to
        the net impact of special items, and the PharMerica LTC
        business added $0.08 to diluted earnings per share in the
        period.

AmerisourceBergen consists of the following two reportable segments: Pharmaceutical Distribution (which includes the operations of AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation, Specialty Group, Packaging Group and Bellco Health) and Other (which includes PharMerica Long-Term Care through July 31, 2007, and excludes PMSI, which has been reclassified to discontinued operations in all periods presented).

    Pharmaceutical Distribution Segment Results

    --  Total revenue of $18.0 billion in the third quarter of fiscal
        2008 was up 11 percent compared to the same quarter in the
        previous fiscal year, due to an 8 percent increase in
        AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation revenue, primarily from its
        institutional customers, and a 3 percent contribution from
        Bellco Health, which was acquired at the beginning of the
        fiscal year. Specialty Group total revenue was up 4 percent.

    --  Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue increased 1
        basis point to 2.77 percent in the fiscal 2008 third quarter
        compared to the same period in the previous year driven by
        solid price appreciation, including branded pharmaceuticals
        and select generic drug increases, and increased contribution
        from generic drugs. The LIFO charge in the fiscal 2008 third
        quarter was $5.0 million compared with a $1.7 million credit
        in the previous year's third quarter. For the first nine
        months of fiscal 2008, the LIFO charge was $17.7 million
        compared to a $7.1 million charge in the same period last
        year.

    --  Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue in the
        fiscal third quarter of 2008 were 1.63 percent, down 10 basis
        points from the same period in the previous fiscal year, due
        to improved productivity and the benefits of the Company's
        streamlined organization. Almost all of the year-over-year
        dollar increase in expenses in the quarter was due to the
        Bellco acquisition.

    --  Operating income increased a robust 22 percent to $205.4
        million in the fiscal 2008 third quarter compared with the
        previous year's third quarter due to excellent revenue growth,
        improved gross profit and exceptional expense management.

    --  As a percentage of total revenue, the operating margin in the
        fiscal 2008 third quarter was 1.14 percent, a 10 basis point
        increase over the same period in the previous fiscal year.

    Other Segment Results

    --  In the fiscal 2008 third quarter, the Other Segment had no
        results because the PMSI workers' compensation business was
        reclassified as a discontinued operation. In the third quarter
        of 2007, the Other Segment included PharMerica LTC, which
        contributed revenue of $306.7 million and operating income of
        $6.1 million.

    Fiscal Year 2008 Expectations

"We have raised our expectations for diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for fiscal year 2008 to a range of $2.81 to $2.89 from the previous range of $2.77 to $2.87," said Yost. "This new range implies a fourth quarter fiscal 2008 range of $0.65 to $0.73. The midpoint of the new expectations for fiscal year 2008, excluding the $0.03 of special charges in fiscal 2008, represents a 22 percent increase over the $2.36 per share from continuing operations for fiscal year 2007, which excludes the $0.09 benefit from special items and the $0.08 contribution from PharMerica LTC in fiscal year 2007. The fiscal year 2008 range reflects no contributions from PMSI because it is classified as a discontinued operation and includes $0.03 of special charges.

"Our revenue assumptions supporting our diluted earnings per share from continuing operations expectations in fiscal year 2008 remain unchanged in a range of 7 percent to 9 percent, and we expect to be at the low end of the range. Our assumption for operating margin expansion in the Pharmaceutical Distribution Segment improves to the low to mid single-digit basis point range from the low single-digit basis point range.

"In the first nine months of fiscal 2008, we repurchased $554 million of our shares and expect to use the majority of the $144 million remaining in our current share repurchase authorization during the remainder of this fiscal year, substantially exceeding our original expectation of repurchasing $400 million to $500 million of our shares in fiscal year 2008. We continue to expect free cash flow for fiscal year 2008 in the range of $450 million to $525 million, which includes capital expenditures in the $125 million range."

Fiscal Year 2009 Preview

Looking ahead to fiscal year 2009, Yost commented, "Although we are in the middle of our detailed planning process for fiscal year 2009, I remain confident that even if pharmaceutical market growth is in the 2 percent to 3 percent range next year, we see a clear path to delivering low double-digit diluted earnings per share from continuing operations growth in fiscal year 2009 through continued expense management, operating margin expansion and strong cash generation. As in the past, we expect to announce our diluted earnings per share expectations for fiscal year 2009 when we release our fiscal year 2008 results, currently scheduled for October 30, 2008."
