PHARMERICA REPORTS RESULTS
FOR FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END 2007

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (February 18, 2008) – PharMerica Corporation (NYSE: PMC), the second largest institutional pharmacy services company in the United States, today reported the results of its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007.

PharMerica began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PMC” on August 1, 2007.  The Company was created through a combination of the institutional pharmacy businesses of Kindred Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: KND) and AmerisourceBergen Corporation (NYSE: ABC) (the “Pharmacy Transaction”).  The Company’s results of operations include the year-to-date historical results of Kindred Pharmacy Services, Inc. (“KPS”) and the results of operations of PharMerica Long-Term Care, Inc. (“PharMerica LTC”), beginning on August 1, 2007.

In commenting on the Company’s results for the fourth quarter, Gregory S. Weishar, PharMerica Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased with our fourth quarter results of operations.  Our integration and consolidation goals are being met.  Our focus continues to be centered around our top five initiatives of client retention; integrating and consolidating our operations and processes; improving our billing practices; electronic prescribing; and analytical metrics.  Our fourth quarter results have provided solid operational momentum as we enter 2008.”

Fourth-Quarter Results

The Company’s revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, were $492.2 million compared with $169.2 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006.  The increase of $323.0 million was the result of the Pharmacy Transaction.  The consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $22.1 million.  Net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 totaled $2.8 million compared with a net loss of $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.  Included in this net income for the fourth quarter 2007 was $5.2 million (tax effected $3.6 million) for integration, merger-related costs and other charges.  Diluted earnings per share was $0.09 per share, which includes charges for integration, merger-related costs and other charges of $0.12 per share.  The diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2006 is not meaningful.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, was $75.1 million compared with $18.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2006.  Of the $56.9 million increase in gross profit, approximately $47.4 million is related to the Pharmacy Transaction.  Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2007 was 15.3% compared with 10.8% for the fourth quarter 2006.  Licensed beds declined during the fourth quarter of 2007 by 5,134 primarily as a result of nursing facility chains opening their own pharmacies and facilities being closed or otherwise sold.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter 2007 were $60.2 million compared with the $18.6 million for the fourth quarter 2006.  Of the $41.6 million increase, approximately $38.6 million is a result of the Pharmacy Transaction.  As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 12.2% for the fourth quarter 2007 compared with 11.0% for the fourth quarter 2006.  Other increases were due to the cost of being a stand alone public company and other costs related to the integration of the Company’s two institutional pharmacy businesses.  The bad debt expense for the fourth quarter 2007 as a percentage of revenues was 1.1% compared with 0.4% for the fourth quarter of 2006.  Bad debt expense for the fourth quarter of 2007 was favorably impacted by $1.7 million related to the settlement of certain customer accounts receivable.  This amount had been fully reserved prior to the Pharmacy Transaction.  The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 4.5% in the fourth quarter 2007 compared with 0.7% in the fourth quarter 2006.  The integration, merger-related costs and other charges for the fourth quarter 2007 of $5.2 million consisted primarily of costs related to employee severance, facility lease terminations, inventory and asset write-downs.  The total depreciation and amortization expense for the fourth quarter 2007 was $8.8 million compared with $2.5 million for the fourth quarter 2006.  This increase was predominantly attributable to the additional depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the Pharmacy Transaction.  Interest expense, net, for the fourth quarter 2007 was $4.1 million.  The increase in interest expense was a result of the debt incurred in connection with the merging of the Company’s two institutional pharmacy businesses.  The tax rate for the fourth quarter 2007 was 30.0% compared with 38.7% for the fourth quarter 2006.  The decrease in rate was due to the losses incurred in connection with the integration, merger-related costs and other charges and non-deductible permanent differences.

Cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter 2007 was $23.2 million compared with $6.2 million for the fourth quarter 2006.  The increase in cash flow was predominantly due to the increase in operations as a result of the Pharmacy Transaction, increases in cash collections on accounts receivable as the Company focuses on collection efforts, and lower federal and state tax payments as a result of the deductible components of the integration, merger-related costs and other charges.  Cash flow used in investing activities of $3.0 million for the fourth quarter 2007 was a result of purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements in connection with the Company’s consolidation and integration efforts and purchases in the normal course of business.  Cash flow used in financing activities of $17.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2007 was the result of a further pay down of long-term debt.  During the fourth quarter 2007, an additional $15.0 million of long-term debt was paid down.

Fiscal Year Results

The Company’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007, were $1,217.8 million compared with $652.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.  Of the $565.2 million increase, approximately $528.8 million was the result of the Pharmacy Transaction.  The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2007 was $44.5 million.  The results of operations of PharMerica LTC were included in the Company’s results of operations beginning on August 1, 2007, after the consummation of the Pharmacy Transaction.  Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007, totaled $24.1 million compared with net income of $12.8 million in 2006.  Included in net loss for fiscal 2007 was $57.7 million (tax effected $37.1 million) for integration, merger-related costs and other charges.  Net income in fiscal 2006 included charges of $2.9 million (tax effected $1.8 million) for integration, merger-related costs and other charges.  Diluted earnings per share for 2007 was a loss of $1.13 per share, which includes charges for integration, merger-related costs and other charges of $1.74 per share.  The diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2006 are not meaningful.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2007, was $173.8 million compared with $94.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.  Of the $79.1 million increase in gross profit, approximately $78.3 million related to the Pharmacy Transaction.  Gross profit margin for the year end December 31, 2007, was 14.3% compared with 14.5% for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The decline in gross profit margin was primarily a result of customer mix.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2007 were $141.4 million compared with $67.3 million in fiscal 2006.  As a percentage of revenue selling, general and administrative expenses were 11.6% for fiscal 2007 compared with 10.3% for fiscal 2006.  This was a result of increases in costs associated with being a public company, the additional costs associated with the Pharmacy Transaction and costs incurred as the Company continues the integration and consolidation of its two institutional pharmacy businesses.  The provision for bad debts as a percentage of revenue was 1.3% in fiscal 2007 compared with 1.1% in fiscal 2006.  The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 3.7% for fiscal 2007 compared with 5.0% for fiscal 2006.  The integration, merger-related costs and other charges for fiscal 2007 was $57.7 million.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Corporation performed a comprehensive assessment of the allowance for doubtful accounts estimation methodologies and reserve levels in light of its expectations relative to the ultimate collection of its accounts receivable balances.  The Corporation considered recent industry trends, changes in reimbursement sources and procedures, age of receivables and recent collection history.  In connection with the comprehensive assessment of the allowance for doubtful accounts, included in amounts charged to integration, merger-related costs and other charges is a change in accounting estimate to increase the allowance of doubtful accounts by $27.9 million.  Total depreciation and amortization for fiscal 2007 was $20.6 million compared with $8.8 million for fiscal 2006.  The increase is predominantly attributable to the additional depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the Pharmacy Transaction.  Interest expense, net, in fiscal 2007 of $7.2 million is a result of the debt incurred in connection with the Pharmacy Transaction.  The tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2007, was 35.7% compared with a rate of 39.6% for 2006.  The decrease in rate was due to the losses incurred in connection with the integration, merger-related costs and other charges and non-deductible expenditures.

Cash flow from operations for fiscal 2007 was $36.3 million compared with $10.0 million for fiscal 2006.  The increase in cash flow from operations was a result of the Pharmacy Transaction, increase in cash collections on accounts receivable due to the Company’s focus on collection efforts, and lower tax payments due to the tax operating losses.  Cash flows used in investing activities during fiscal 2007 of $22.0 million was primarily the result of purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements, predominantly in technology equipment and medical carts, and earn-outs on prior year acquisitions.  The cash flow provided by financing activities in fiscal 2007 of $14.0 million was the result of net contributions from Kindred Healthcare, Inc. prior to the Pharmacy Transaction.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
PharMerica calculates and uses Adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of its ability to generate cash from reported operating results.  The measurement is used in concert with net income and cash flows from operations, which measure actual cash generated in the period.  In addition, the company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measurement tool used by analysts and investors to help evaluate overall operating performance and the ability to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures.  In addition, adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is used in conjunction with PharMerica’s debt leverage ratio and this calculation sets the applicable margin for the quarterly interest charge.  Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is not the same calculation as this adjusted EBITDA table.  Adjust EBITDA does not represent funds available for PharMerica’s discretionary use and is not intended to represent or to be used as a substitute for net income or cash flows from operations data as measured under U.S.  generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA but included in the calculation of PharMerica’s reported net income are significant components of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance.  PharMerica’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with calculations of EBITDA used by other companies.
