ELMSFORD, N.Y., Aug. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BioScrip®, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOS) (the “Company”) today announced 2015 second quarter financial results. Second quarter revenue from continuing operations was $262.4 million and the net loss from continuing operations was $243.2 million, or $3.60 loss per diluted share, which includes a $238.0 million pre-tax goodwill impairment charge resulting from a decline in the Company’s common stock price and related market capitalization, as well as an $8.6 million incremental pre-tax bad debt charge predominately attributable to aged accounts receivable balances over 365 days old.
Company Highlights During and Subsequent to the Second Quarter:
- Total revenue increased by $15.2 million, or 6.2%, compared to the prior year period. Revenue from the Infusion Services segment increased to $247.0 million, reflecting 7.1% growth year-over-year, driven by revenue growth in our core infusion business;
- Gross profit from continuing operations was $66.0 million, or 25.1% of revenue, compared to $65.4 million, or 26.4% of revenue, in the prior year period;
- Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $2.5 million, a $13.5 million decrease compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $11.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a lower gross margin revenue mix shift as well as the increase of contractual and bad debt expense; and
- In a separate press release, the Company also announced today that it is implementing a financial improvement plan to reduce its cost structure and enhance its financial flexibility to drive shareholder value as a pure play infusion services provider.
Results of Operations
Second Quarter 2015 versus Second Quarter 2014
Revenue from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2015 totaled $262.4 million, compared to $247.1 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of $15.2 million or 6.2%. Infusion Services segment revenue was $247.0 million in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to $230.5 million for the same period in 2014. The 7.1% increase was driven primarily by continued strong organic growth particularly in chronic, nutrition and other therapies.
Consolidated gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $66.0 million, or 25.1% of revenue, compared to $65.4 million, or 26.4% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2014. The increase in gross profit dollars was due to revenue growth in the Infusion Services segment partially offset by lower PBM Services gross profit. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily the result of an Infusion Services segment mix shift from core therapies to more chronic and other therapies.
During the second quarter of 2015, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations declined by $13.5 million to a loss of $2.5 million. Infusion Services segment Adjusted EBITDA was $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $16.2 million in the prior year quarter. The decreases in both consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Infusion Services segment Adjusted EBITDA were principally due to lower gross margin revenue mix shift combined with the $8.6 million incremental pre-tax bad debt charge, which was predominately attributable to aged accounts receivable balances over 365 days old.
PBM Services segment revenue was $15.4 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $16.6 million for the prior year period. PBM Services segment Adjusted EBITDA was $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $1.8 million in the prior year quarter.
Interest expense in the second quarter of 2015 was unchanged from the prior year period at $9.1 million.
Income tax benefit for continuing operations in the second quarter of 2015 was $19.9 million compared to income tax expense of $3.1 million in the prior year period.
Net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2015 was $243.2 million, or a $3.60 loss per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $18.6 million, or $0.27 loss per diluted share in the prior year period, largely due to the $238.0 million pre-tax goodwill impairment charge and the $8.6 million incremental pre-tax bad debt charge.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, BioScrip used $42.1 million in net cash from continuing operating activities, as compared to $26.7 million of net cashed used in continuing operating activities in the prior year period.

Forward-Looking Statements Safe Harbor
This press release includes statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements,” including projections of certain measures of the Company’s results of operations, projections of future levels of certain charges and expenses, and other statements regarding the Company’s financial improvement plan and strategy. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “outlook,” “aim,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue” or comparable terms. Because such statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, actual future results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include but are not limited to risks associated with: the Company’s ability to implement its financial improvement plan to reduce operating costs and focus its business on its Infusion Services segment; reductions in federal, state and commercial reimbursement for the Company’s products and services; increased government regulation related to the health care and insurance industries; as well as the risks described in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake any duty to update these forward-looking statements after the date hereof, even though the Company’s situation may change in the future. All of the forward-looking statements herein are qualified by these cautionary statements.
Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting all financial information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company is also reporting Adjusted EBITDA (including segment Adjusted EBITDA) and Adjusted EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute or alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as a substitute or alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of our liquidity. In addition, the Company’s definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, represents net income before net interest expense, loss on sale of assets, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration expenses, restructuring-related expenses and investments in start-up operations.
