2 USE OF ADJUSTED MEASURES The Company has provided in this presentation “adjusted” financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and certain segment information. The Company believes these adjusted measures are useful to investors as a supplement to, but not as a substitute for, GAAP measures, in evaluating the Company’s operational performance. The Company further believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors in evaluating operating results and trends, and growth and shareholder returns, as well as in comparing the Company’s financial results with the financial results of other companies. However, the Company notes that these adjusted measures may be different from and not directly comparable to the measures presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are included in the tables accompanying this presentation.

12 IMPACT FROM CHANGE IN REVENUE RECOGNITION ACCOUNTING STANDARD (ASC 606) Effective January 1, 2018, the Company will adopt the FASB-issued converged standard on revenue recognition, using the full retrospective method. Although the Company has not completed all of the analysis required to finalize this restatement of revenues and expenses relating to this new standard, the table below presents the Company’s current best estimate of the potential financial impact on its two segments’ revenue, and is being provided as a reference point for the Company’s guidance in 2018. The 2017 calculation is preliminary and will be finalized upon adoption in the first quarter of 2018 and the amounts are therefore subject to change. The Company does not believe the application of the new standard will have any significant impact on previously reported Adjusted Operating Income. However, the change in reported revenue will impact previously reported operating margins as shown in the table provided. (1) In LabCorp Diagnostics, the impact of the accounting change will reduce revenue and increase margins, as bad debt will be treated as a reduction in revenue rather than selling, general and administrative expense (2) In Covance Drug Development, the impact of this accounting change will increase revenue and cost of revenue, resulting in lower margins due to the inclusion of investigator fees and other pass-through expenses in both categories (Dollars in millions) As Reported Preliminary Restatement LabCorp Diagnostics (1) Net Revenue 7,170.5$ 6,858.0$ Adjusted Operating Income 1,446.3$ 1,446.3$ Adjusted Operating Margin 20.2% 21.1% Covance Drug Development (2) Net Revenue 3,037.2$ 3,562.4$ Adjusted Operating Income 422.4$ 425.7$ Adjust d Operating Margin 13.9% 11.9% Consolidated (1) (2) Net Revenue 10,205.9$ 10,418.6$ Adjusted Segment Operating Income 1,868.7$ 1,872.0$ Unallocated corporate expense (137.4)$ (137.4)$ Consolidated Adjusted Operating Income 1,731.3$ 1,734.6$ Adjusted Operating Margin 17.0% 16.6% Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2017 Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2017

17 RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES - FOOTNOTES 1) During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded net restructuring and other special charges of $6.3 million. The charges included $8.9 million in severance and other personnel costs along with $0.9 million in costs associated with facility closures and general integration initiatives. The Company reversed previously established reserves of $3.0 million in unused severance reserves and $0.5 million in unused facilities reserves. The Company incurred legal and other costs of $14.1 million primarily relating to the acquisition of Chiltern. The Company also recorded $17.4 million in consulting and other expenses relating to Covance and Chiltern integration initiatives. In addition, the Company incurred $1.3 million in consulting expenses relating to fees incurred as part of its integration and management transition costs (all recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses). The after tax impact of these charges decreased net earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, by $24.5 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.23 ($24.5 million divided by 103.7 million shares). During the first three quarters of 2017, the Company recorded net restructuring and other special charges of $64.6 million. The charges included $27.2 million in severance and other personnel costs along with $17.9 million in costs associated with facility closures and general integration initiatives. The Company reversed previously established reserves of $1.4 million, primarily in unused severance reserves.

The Company incurred legal and other costs of $29.8 million relating to recent acquisition activity. The Company also recorded $8.0 million in consulting expenses relating to fees incurred as part of its Covance integration and compensation analysis, along with $0.9 million in short-term equity retention arrangements relating to the acquisition of Covance. In addition, the Company incurred $8.2 million of non-capitalized costs associated with the implementation of a major system as part of its LaunchPad business process improvement initiative (all recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses). The after tax impact of these combined charges decreased net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017, by $101.4 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.98 ($101.4 million divided by 103.9 million shares). 2) As a result of the passage of the TCJA in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a net reduction of its provision for income taxes of $519.0 million, resulting in a one-time increase in its EPS of $5.00 for the quarter and for the year ($519.0 million divided by 103.7 million shares and $519.0 million divided by 103.9 million shares). Given the significant changes resulting from the TCJA, the estimated financial impact in the quarter is provisional and subject to further clarification, which could result in changes to these estimates during 2018.


 
18 RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES - FOOTNOTES 3) During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recorded net restructuring charges and special items of $9.8 million.

The Company reversed previously established reserves of $0.1 million in unused personnel-related reserves and $1.0 million in unused facility-related costs. The Company incurred $0.6 million in fees and expenses associated with acquisitions completed during the quarter and incurred additional legal and other costs of $0.6 million relating to the wind-down of its minimum volume contract operations.

The Company also recorded a $3.6 million gain on sale of certain assets held for sale. The after tax impact of these net charges decreased net earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, by $8.3 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.08 ($8.3 million divided by 105.1 million shares). During the first three quarters of 2016, the Company recorded net restructuring charges and other special charges of $48.6 million. The charges included $23.1 million in severance and other personnel costs along with $30.7 million in facility-related costs associated with facility closures and general integration initiatives. The Company reversed previously established reserves of $2.5 million in unused facility-related costs and $2.7 million in unused severance reserves.

19 RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES - FOOTNOTES 4) The Company continues to grow the business through acquisitions and uses Adjusted EPS excluding amortization as a measure of operational performance, growth and shareholder returns. The Company believes adjusting EPS for amortization provides investors with better insight into the operating performance of the business. For the quarters ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, intangible amortization was $62.9 million and $48.8 million, respectively ($42.3 million and $33.2 million net of tax, respectively) and decreased EPS by $0.41 ($42.3 million divided by 103.7 million shares) and $0.32 ($33.2 million divided by 105.1 million shares), respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, intangible amortization was $216.5 million and $179.5 million, respectively ($146.4 million and $122.5 million net of tax, respectively) and decreased EPS by $1.41 ($146.4 million divided by 103.9 million shares) and $1.17 ($122.5 million divided by 104.3 million shares), respectively.
