DEERFIELD, Ill. -- (Business Wire)
Walgreen Co. (NYSE: WAG) (NASDAQ: WAG) today announced earnings and
sales results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year
2014 ended May 31.
Net earnings determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) for the fiscal 2014 third quarter were $722 million, a
15.7 percent increase from $624 million in the same quarter a year ago.
This year’s third quarter earnings benefited from a lower GAAP effective
income tax rate. The lower rate of 31.5 percent compared with 38.7
percent last year resulted from increased foreign income taxed at a
lower rate, favorable audit settlements, certain nondeductible expenses
last year and other discrete events. Net earnings per diluted share for
the quarter increased 15.4 percent to 75 cents, compared with 65 cents
per diluted share in the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted fiscal 2014 third quarter net earnings were $883 million, an
8.7 percent increase from $812 million in the same quarter a year ago.
This year’s adjusted third quarter earnings also benefited from a lower
effective income tax rate, resulting from increased foreign income taxed
at a lower rate, favorable audit settlements and other discrete events.
Adjusted net earnings per diluted share for the quarter increased 7.1
percent to 91 cents, compared with 85 cents per diluted share in the
year-ago quarter. In addition, this year’s third quarter earnings
adjustments had a net positive impact of $161 million or 16 cents per
diluted share. Last year’s third quarter earnings adjustments had a net
positive impact of $188 million or 20 cents per diluted share.
Net earnings for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 ended May 31
determined in accordance with GAAP were $2.17 billion, an increase of
21.1 percent compared with $1.79 billion in the first nine months of
fiscal 2013. Net earnings per diluted share for the first nine months of
fiscal 2014 increased 19.7 percent to $2.25, compared with $1.88 per
diluted share in the first nine months of fiscal 2013.
Adjusted net earnings for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 ended May
31 were $2.45 billion, an increase of 7.5 percent compared with adjusted
net earnings of $2.28 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2013.
Adjusted net earnings per diluted share for the first nine months of
fiscal 2014 increased 6.3 percent to $2.54, compared with $2.39 per
diluted share in the first nine months of fiscal 2013. Earnings
adjustments in the first nine months of this fiscal year had a net
positive impact of $280 million or 29 cents per diluted share. Earnings
adjustments in the first nine months of the previous fiscal year had a
net positive impact of $487 million or 51 cents per diluted share.
Please see the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table and
accompanying disclosures at the end of this press release for more
detailed information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures in this
press release, including the factors reflected in adjusted net earnings
calculations.
“We continued to see improving top-line growth in the third quarter
driven by increased daily living sales and strong increases in both
prescriptions filled and our pharmacy market share,” said Walgreens
President and CEO Greg Wasson. “At the same time, we are experiencing
increased pressure on pharmacy gross profit margins. We maintained solid
expense control in the third quarter to offset some of this pressure
while understanding that there is more to be done. We will be
accelerating our optimization efforts, including taking additional steps
to lower expenses companywide. In addition, our joint venture with
Alliance Boots continues to generate significant benefits.”
The combined synergies for Walgreens and its strategic partner, Alliance
Boots, in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 were approximately $367
million. The joint synergy program is now estimated to deliver
second-year combined synergies of $400-$450 million, an increase from
the previous second-year estimate of $375-$425 million. Alliance Boots
contributed 15 cents per diluted share to Walgreens third quarter 2014
adjusted results. The company estimates that the accretion from Alliance
Boots in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 will be an adjusted 6 to 7
cents per diluted share. This estimate does not include amortization
expense, the impact of AmerisourceBergen warrants or one-time
transaction costs, and reflects the company’s current estimates of IFRS
to GAAP conversion and foreign exchange rates.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Sales
Third quarter sales increased 5.9 percent compared with the prior-year
quarter to $19.4 billion, while sales for the first nine months
increased 5.6 percent to $57.3 billion. Front-end comparable store sales
(those open at least a year) increased 2.2 percent in the third quarter,
customer traffic in comparable stores decreased 0.7 percent and basket
size increased 2.9 percent, while total sales in comparable stores
increased 4.8 percent. Walgreens Balance® Rewards loyalty program
reached 81 million active members at the end of this year’s third
quarter.
Prescription sales, which accounted for 64.4 percent of sales in the
quarter, increased 8.4 percent, while prescription sales in comparable
stores increased 6.3 percent. The company filled 218 million
prescriptions in the quarter, an increase of 4.5 percent over last
year’s third quarter. Prescriptions filled in comparable stores
increased 4.1 percent in the quarter. As of May 31, Walgreens increased
its retail prescription market share 20 basis points from a year ago to
19.0 percent as reported by IMS Health on a 30-day adjusted basis.
Walgreens also saw strong growth in prescriptions filled for Medicare
Part D patients, which increased 11.6 percent in the third quarter
compared with last year’s quarter, while the company’s Part D market
share increased 60 basis points in May compared with the same month a
year ago.
Gross Profit and SG&A
GAAP total gross profit dollars increased $218 million, or 4.2 percent,
compared with the year-ago third quarter, with gross profit margins
decreasing 40 basis points versus the year-ago quarter to 28.1 as a
percentage of sales. Adjusted gross profit dollars increased $139
million, or 2.6 percent, compared with the year-ago third quarter.
Pharmacy gross profit dollars were negatively impacted by lower
third-party reimbursement, fewer brand-to-generic drug conversions
compared with the year-ago quarter, and generic drug price inflation.
Both pharmacy and front-end margins benefitted from purchasing synergies
from the company’s joint venture with Alliance Boots. The LIFO provision
was $41 million in this year’s third quarter versus $120 million last
year.
GAAP selling, general and administrative expense dollars increased $189
million, or 4.3 percent, compared with the year-ago quarter, including
2.3 percentage points of SG&A expenses for store closures and other
organizational efficiency costs, 1.8 percentage points for headquarters
expense, 1.4 percentage points for new store expenses and 0.1 percentage
point for acquisition-related amortization expense. These expenses were
partially offset by lower legal, comparable store and acquisition
related costs of 0.7 percentage point, 0.3 percentage point and 0.3
percentage point, respectively. Adjusted selling, general and
administrative expense dollars increased $121 million, or 2.9 percent,
compared with the year-ago quarter.
Walgreens delivered free cash flow of $1.0 billion in the third quarter
and operating cash flow of $1.3 billion in the quarter, as lower
inventories drove improvements in working capital. Inventories benefited
from the company’s distribution agreement with AmerisourceBergen.
The company opened or acquired 39 new drugstores in the fiscal 2014
third quarter, the same number opened or acquired in the year-ago
quarter.
Update on Walgreens-Alliance Boots transaction
Walgreens board of directors is moving forward toward consideration of
the second step in the Walgreens-Alliance Boots strategic transaction,
including determination of timing and structure, combined management
teams, cost reduction initiatives and potential changes in the company’s
future capital structure.
“(Executive Chairman of Alliance Boots GmbH) Stefano Pessina and I are
working hard to realize our joint vision for exercising step two of the
Walgreens-Alliance Boots strategic transaction for consideration by the
Walgreens board of directors,” said Wasson. “We are working through
complex issues in planning for step two, and we are taking the
appropriate time to come to the right resolution for the combined
enterprise.”
As a result of the many step two considerations and current business
performance, the company is withdrawing its fiscal year 2016 goals that
were previously announced in 2012. Specifically, once key decisions have
been made on the above matters, Walgreens anticipates being in a
position to hold an investor call, which is expected to occur by late
July or early August. At that time, the company expects to provide a new
set of goals and metrics for the proposed combined enterprise for fiscal
year 2016.
At May 31, Walgreens operated 8,683 locations in all 50 states, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The
company has 8,217 drugstores nationwide, 120 more than a year ago.
Walgreens also operates worksite health and wellness centers, infusion
and respiratory services facilities, specialty pharmacies and mail
service facilities. Its Take Care Health Systems subsidiary manages more
than 700 in-store convenient care clinics and worksite health and
wellness centers. Walgreens e-commerce business includes Walgreens.com,
drugstore.com, Beauty.com, SkinStore.com and VisionDirect.com.
Walgreens will hold a one-hour conference call to discuss the third
quarter results beginning at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time today, June 24. The
conference call will be simulcast through Walgreens investor relations
website at: http://investor.walgreens.com.
A replay of the conference call will be archived on the website for 12
months after the call. A podcast also will be available on the investor
relations website.
The replay also will be available from 11:30 a.m. Eastern time, June 24
through July 1 by calling 855-859-2056 within the U.S. and Canada, or
404-537-3406 outside the U.S. and Canada, using replay code 12543820.

WALGREEN CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES |
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) |
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES |
(In millions, except per share amounts)
|
|
The following information provides reconciliations of the
supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, as defined under SEC
rules, presented in this press release to the most directly
comparable financial measures calculated and presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (GAAP). The company has provided these non-GAAP
financial measures in the press release, which are not calculated
or presented in accordance with GAAP, as supplemental information
and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP. These supplemental non-GAAP
financial measures are presented because management has evaluated
the company’s financial results both including and excluding the
adjusted items and believes that the supplemental non-GAAP
financial measures presented provide additional perspective and
insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the
Company’s business from period to period and trends in the
company’s historical operating results. These supplemental
non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to,
as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be
considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures
presented in the press release.

(1) Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating
activities in a period minus additions to property and equipment
(capital expenditures) made in that period. This measure does not
represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures
as the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service
and other contractual obligations or payments for future business
acquisitions. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash
flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our entire
statements of cash flows.
