      DUBLIN, Ohio, Oct. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardinal Health today reported fiscal year 2014 first-quarter revenue of $24.5 billion and a 36 percent increase in non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations to $1.10. Non-GAAP operating earnings increased 13 percent to $532 million. On a GAAP basis, operating earnings increased 3 percent to $471 million, and diluted EPS from continuing operations increased 25 percent to $0.99. The reported EPS figures include contribution of approximately $0.18 related to settlements with tax authorities for certain outstanding audit periods.

      "We are off to an outstanding start to fiscal 2014, with both segments achieving strong margin expansion and earnings growth in the first quarter. Our Pharmaceutical segment performance demonstrated balance across the businesses, with robust results in both our generic and branded programs. Our Medical segment made excellent  progress on its key priorities – building the portfolio of preferred products, achieving results from efficiency initiatives, growing strategic hospital network accounts and integrating the 2013 acquisition of AssuraMed," said George Barrett, chairman and chief executive officer of Cardinal Health. 

      Barrett said, "Based on our first-quarter results and the strength of our operating earnings performance, we are increasing our fiscal 2014 outlook for non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations to a range of $3.62 to $3.72."

      This guidance range reflects the company's unchanged assumption of 34.5 to 36 percent non-GAAP effective tax rate range given expectations of further volatility in the quarterly tax rate for the remainder of the year.

      "Recognizing our strong operating cash flow and the strength of our balance sheet, the board has approved a new, three-year authorization to repurchase up to $1 billion of Cardinal Health common shares," said Barrett. "This approval allows us to continue our flexible and balanced approach to capital deployment."

      The share repurchase program is in addition to the existing share repurchase program approved in August 2012, of which $350 million remains available.

      SEGMENT RESULTS

      Pharmaceutical segment

      As expected, revenue for the Pharmaceutical segment declined 7 percent to $21.8 billion, driven by the previously announced expiration of the Express Scripts contract on Sept. 30, 2012, and the Walgreens contract on Aug. 31, 2013. The decline was partially offset by volume growth from new and existing customers. Segment profit increased 8 percent to $433 million, with both generic and branded programs showing strong performance.

The segment also realized strong growth in its strategic hospital network accounts. Segment profit increased 43 percent to $106 million, primarily driven by the AssuraMed acquisition, planned efficiency initiatives and growth in preferred products, an offering that includes Cardinal Health-branded products.

      1 The settlement of federal and state tax controversies favorably impacted, for fiscal 2014 first quarter, both the effective tax rate from continuing operations and non-GAAP effective tax rate from continuing operations by 14.3 and 12.6 percentage points, respectively. The fiscal 2014 first quarter non-GAAP effective tax rate from continuing operations, excluding the impact of the tax settlement, would have been 37.3%.

      Refer to the GAAP/Non-GAAP reconciliation for definitions and calculations supporting the Non-GAAP balances.

      Given the expiration of our pharmaceutical distribution contract with Walgreen Co. on August 31, 2013, we do not believe that days sales outstanding, days inventory on hand, days payable outstanding and net working capital days provide meaningful measures of our working capital performance in fiscal 2014 first quarter.

      1 The settlement of federal and state tax controversies favorably impacted, for fiscal 2014 first quarter, both the effective tax rate from continuing operations and non-GAAP effective tax rate from continuing operations by 14.3 and 12.6 percentage points, respectively. The fiscal 2014 first quarter non-GAAP effective tax rate from continuing operations, excluding the impact of the tax settlement, would have been 37.3%.

      We apply varying tax rates depending on the item's nature and tax jurisdiction where it is incurred.

      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 loss on disposal of assets and litigation (recoveries)/charges, net, 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.

      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.
