“We are pleased with our fourth quarter results driven by solid organic growth and significant momentum in our key businesses. Infusion revenue was strong on both a sequential and year-over-year basis driven by the depth of our managed care contracts, growing patient census, and the focused and productive efforts of our sales team and regional management who continue to focus on our targeted therapies,” said Rick Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioScrip.

“With the pending sale of our community specialty pharmacies and centralized specialty and mail service pharmacy businesses, we are positioning BioScrip as a leaner company focused on those areas where we have key strengths, in-market awareness and offer distinct competitive advantages. This includes leveraging our geographic reach, building upon our reputation for clinical excellence, deepening our relationships with national and local managed care customers and strategically expanding our national infusion service footprint both organically and through tuck-in acquisitions. As we move through 2012, we will continue to take action to further rationalize corporate overhead, improve operating performance and profitability, and maximize overall operating cash flow generation,” concluded Smith.

Fourth quarter 2011 operating income was $14.6 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, BioScrip generated $27.2 million of segment Adjusted EBITDA, or 5.6% of total revenue, compared to $21.4 million, or 4.7% of total revenue in the prior year. The Infusion/Home Health segment generated $12.3 million of Adjusted EBITDA, or 10.1% of segment revenue. This compares to $11.8 million, or 10.4% of segment revenue in the prior year.

Full Year 2011 versus Full Year 2010

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $1.8 billion compared to $1.6 billion for the comparable prior year period. Infusion/Home Health Services segment revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $451.0 million, compared to $377.2 million for the prior year, an increase of $73.8 million, or 19.6%. This increase was largely a result of incremental revenue from the Critical Homecare Solutions, Inc. (“CHS”) business, which was acquired March 25, 2010. Excluding the incremental first quarter revenue associated with the acquired CHS business, BioScrip’s Infusion/Home Health Services segment revenue increased $10.5 million, or 2.8% over the prior year as a result of overall volume growth.

Pharmacy Services segment revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $1.4 billion compared to revenue of $1.3 billion for the prior year period, an increase of $105.6 million, or 8.4%. Pharmacy Services revenue increased due to volume from new managed care contracts, growth in the oncology, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis therapies, industry-wide drug inflation and an increase in discount cash card programs sales.

Consolidated gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $312.3 million compared to $260.4 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of $51.9 million, or 19.9%. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased to 17.2%, compared to 15.9% for the same period in 2010. The increase in gross profit and in gross profit as a percentage from 2010 to 2011 was primarily the result of the acquisition of CHS, which favorably impacted gross margin rates, and growth in discount cash card program volumes.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, BioScrip generated $103.4 million of segment Adjusted EBITDA, or 5.7% of total revenue, compared to $84.2 million, or 5.1% of total revenue, for the prior year period. The Infusion/Home Health segment generated $45.4 million of segment Adjusted EBITDA, or 10.1% of segment revenue, compared to $43.5 million, or 11.5% of segment revenue, in the prior year. The Pharmacy Services segment generated $58.0 million of segment Adjusted EBITDA, or 4.2% of segment revenue, compared to $40.7 million, or 3.2% of segment revenue, in the prior period.

On a consolidated basis, BioScrip reported $73.5 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2011, or 4.0% of total revenue, compared to $49.2 million, or 3.0% of total revenue, in the prior year.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $28.3 million, compared to $27.6 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in interest expense was related to a full year of interest on the debt instruments primarily used to finance the CHS acquisition.

Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $1.3 million on a pre-tax net income of $9.2 million and consisted primarily of state income taxes and a deferred tax provision associated with tax deductible goodwill. Our income tax expense was $47.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, on a pre-tax net loss of $21.4 million. Income tax expense in 2010 includes the establishment of a $54.0 million valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $7.9 million, or $0.14 per share. This compares to a net loss of $69.1 million, or $1.37 per share for the same period in 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the year ended December 31, 2011, BioScrip generated $27.0 million in net cash from operating activities compared to $21.4 million used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $48.4 million. This was due to a decrease in working capital requirements of $23.1 million and an increase of $25.3 million in net income adjusted for non-cash items, primarily such as depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes and in 2010 the loss on early extinguishment of debt.
