Interim Financial Data
The interim financial data is unaudited; however, in the opinion of Omnicare management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Omnicare consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 is different than the applicable federal statutory rate primarily as a result of the impact of state and local income taxes and additional tax benefits recognized in 2014 for prior year settlement payments, and the non-deductible portion of the settlement payments made related to the Gale and Silver complaints (each as described in “Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies”).

Disposition of Businesses
In 2013, the Company completed the disposition of certain assets, primarily in its medical supply services business, which were not considered, individually or in the aggregate, significant to the operations of Omnicare. The Company recorded a charge on the disposition of these businesses of $10 million and $39 million ($9 million and $27 million after-tax), respectively, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. These charges are reflected in the “Other charges” caption of the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Separation and Other Costs
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded separation related costs and accelerated stock based compensation expense for certain employees of approximately $4 million and $17 million, respectively, including charges related to retirement of the Chief Executive Officer in the second quarter of 2014. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded separation related costs for certain employees of approximately $1 million and $5 million, respectively. These charges are reflected in the “Other charges” caption of the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Restructuring and Other Related Charges
The Company continues to make payments in connection with its Company-wide Reorganization Program (the “CWR Program”), primarily related to certain severance amounts and the relocation of its corporate office. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has made cumulative payments of approximately $3 million for severance and other employee-related costs in connection with the CWR Program. The Company had liabilities related to the CWR Program of approximately $5 million at December 31, 2013, with utilization of approximately $2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The remaining liabilities pursuant to the CWR Program of $3 million at September 30, 2014, represent amounts not yet paid relating to actions taken in connection with the CWR Program (primarily lease termination costs) and will be settled as these matters are finalized.

Common Stock Repurchase Program
In the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 2.7 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $160 million under share repurchase programs authorized by its Board of Directors. Through September 30, 2014, the Company has repurchased an aggregate of approximately 27 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $1 billion under the share repurchase programs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 2.5 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate cash outlay of approximately $91 million through authorized share repurchase programs. The cash expenditure in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes the impact of the equity forward contract components of the Company’s two previously disclosed accelerated share repurchase agreements. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had authority to repurchase approximately $340 million of additional shares under the share repurchase programs through December 31, 2015.

Capped Call
On April 2, 2012, the Company entered into capped call transactions with a counterparty, paying $48 million for the purchase of the capped calls, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital. The capped call transactions are intended to reduce potential economic dilution upon conversion of the Company’s 3.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2042. The capped calls settle in tranches through March 2016, one of which settled in the first quarter of 2014. The adjusted strike price for the capped calls ranged from $40.96 to $41.05 and the adjusted cap price for the tranche settled in 2014 ranged from $56.75 to $56.88; the strike and cap prices adjust for the Company’s dividend payments. The Company received approximately 0.6 million net shares upon settlement with a value of approximately $38 million.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern", which requires management to evaluate whether conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, to provide related footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period," ("ASU 2014-12"). ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The guidance is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosures. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”, which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results and is disposed of or classified as held for sale. The standard also introduces several new disclosures. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. ASU 2014-08 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
