Description of Business

Diplomat Pharmacy, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) is the largest independent provider of specialty pharmacy and infusion services in the United States of America (“U.S.”). The Company is focused on improving the lives of patients with complex chronic diseases while also delivering unique solutions for manufacturers, hospitals, payors and providers. The Company’s patient-centric approach positions it at the center of the healthcare continuum for the treatment of complex chronic disease states, including oncology, specialty infusion therapies, immunology, hepatitis, multiple sclerosis and many other serious or long-term conditions. The Company operates in two reportable segments - Specialty and Pharmacy Benefit Management (“PBM”). The Specialty segment offers a broad range of innovative solutions to address the dispensing, delivery, dosing and reimbursement of clinically intensive, high-cost specialty drugs and a wide range of applications. The PBM segment provides services designed to help customers reduce the cost and manage the complexity of their prescription drug programs. The Company dispenses to patients in all U.S. states and territories through its advanced distribution centers and manages centralized clinical call centers to deliver localized services on a national scale.

Basis of Presentation

Liquidity and Going Concern

Beginning in latter half of 2018, the Company began experiencing operating results below expectations and deteriorating forecasts for future revenue growth.  Competitive challenges in its core specialty pharmacy business, impact of continued customer contract losses in the PBM business, and uncertainties and challenges facing the health care industry continue to create increasing headwinds for the Company’s operating results.

The continued availability of funding under our credit agreement is contingent on compliance with, among other things, certain financial debt covenants consisting of a total net leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio.  Effective August 2019, the Company amended the terms of its credit facility, in particular these specific ratios, which made these debt covenants less restrictive for the period September 30, 2019 through December 31, 2020, but thereafter returns to the originally agreed upon ratios.  The Company has been monitoring and evaluating the impact of these changes and originally expected to be in compliance with the amended covenants but it has determined, given recent operating results and deteriorated forecasts, that it is probable that the Company will be in violation of these covenants at December 31, 2019. If we were to violate our covenants, our lenders would have the right to terminate funding of our credit facility, accelerate our indebtedness (under the revolving credit facility and term loans), or foreclose on our assets.  While we believe that we would be able to obtain waivers for any such breach of covenants to prevent an acceleration of the outstanding indebtedness, the Company cannot conclude with certainty that it will have the ability to restructure its credit agreement, obtain necessary waivers or negotiate less restrictive debt covenants with its lenders. If the covenant violations are not waived and our access to the credit facility is terminated or the indebtedness thereunder is accelerated,  the Company may be unable to repay the obligations due under the credit agreement which would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s liquidity and business.  Accordingly, management’s assessment indicates, due to these conditions, there is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements were filed.

The Company’s operations are funded primarily through cash generated from operations, cash and equivalents on hand, and available borrowings under its revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $8.4 million in cash and equivalents, $105 million in borrowings under its revolving credit facility and $456 million outstanding under its

term loans. At September 30, 2019, the Company had $95 million of available borrowing capacity under its revolving line of credit.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company generated $108 million of cash from operations.

The Company is reviewing strategic alternatives related to its future business operations which include, but are not limited to, a sale or merger of the Company, pursuing value enhancing initiatives or undertaking structural changes as a standalone company, or the sale or disposition of certain of the Company’s business or assets.  Additionally, the Company plans to work with its lenders to amend the credit agreement and continue to pursue cost-cutting initiatives.  However, given many of the mitigating plans are reliant on third parties and therefore outside the Company’s control, it is not considered probable that any of these alternatives will be effectively implemented in the near term.  Therefore, these plans do not mitigate the substantial doubt raised surrounding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019, and the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any future annual or interim period. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
