As a result of the sale of the Company's traditional and specialty pharmacy mail operations and community retail pharmacy stores on May 4, 2012 (the "Pharmacy Services Asset Sale"), the Company's financial statements reflect the discontinued operations' results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 separate from the continuing operations of the business. The remaining assets and liabilities of the divested business that were not transferred as a part of the Pharmacy Services Asset Sale are included in continuing operations.

Results of Operations

First Quarter 2013 versus First Quarter 2012
Revenue from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2013 totaled $199.1 million, compared to $155.6 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of $43.4 million or 27.9%. Infusion Services segment revenue was $154.4 million in the first quarter, as compared to $109.1 million for the same period in 2012. The 41.5% increase was driven primarily by overall volume growth as well as additional revenue related to acquisitions. Home Health Services segment revenue was $17.9 million for the first quarter of 2013, as compared to $16.7 million in the prior year quarter. The 7.4% increase was primarily the result of growth in volume from private duty nursing activity. PBM Services segment revenue was $26.8 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $29.9 million for the prior year period. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction in discount card volume.

Consolidated gross profit for the first quarter of 2013 was $63.2 million, or 31.8% of revenue, compared to $53.5 million, or 34.4% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2012. The increase in gross profit was the result of growth in Infusion Services segment revenues. The decline in gross profit margin percentage was mainly the result of business mix.

During the first quarter of 2013, Infusion Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $12.3 million, or 8.0% of segment revenue, compared to $7.8 million, or 7.1% of segment revenue in the prior year quarter.

The Home Health Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2013 was $883,000, or 4.9% of segment revenue, compared to $1.1 million, or 6.5% of segment revenue, in the comparable prior year period.

The PBM Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $6.2 million, or 23.2% of segment revenue, for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $6.1 million, or 20.4% of segment revenue, in the prior year quarter.

On a consolidated basis, BioScrip reported $11.5 million of Adjusted EBITDA during the first quarter of 2013, or 5.8% of total revenue, compared to $8.4 million, or 5.4% of total revenue, in the same period last year. The performance in the quarter included investments in growth initiatives, such as increased sales resources and the development of new market offerings.

Interest expense in the first quarter of 2013 was $6.5 million compared to $6.6 million in the prior year period.

Income tax expense for continuing operations in the first quarter was $58,000 compared to an income tax benefit of $502,000 in the first quarter of 2012.

Net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2013 was $7.5 million, or a loss of $0.13 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2012. Adjusted EPS from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2013 was $0.04 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.00 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's cash balance at the end of the first quarter was zero and outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility was approximately $28.0 million as it utilized a combination of its available cash and borrowings under its revolving credit facility to fund the acquisition of HomeChoice. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, the Company raised net proceeds of $118.6 million from a public offering of its common stock and used part of such net proceeds to pay down outstanding amounts under its revolving credit facility.

Outlook

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 certain charges and expenses, and other statements regarding the Company's goals, regulatory approvals 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," "intend," "plan," "believe," "predict," "potential," "continue" or comparable terms. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and, because such statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include but are not limited to risks associated with: the Company's ability to grow its Infusion Services segment organically or through acquisitions and obtain financing in connection therewith; its ability to effectively integrate acquisitions; its ability to reduce operating costs while sustaining growth; reductions in federal, state and commercial payor 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, including the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. 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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA, 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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies. EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration expenses, and restructuring and other expenses. As part of restructuring and other expenses, the Company may incur significant charges such as, but not limited to, the write down of certain long−lived assets, temporary redundant expenses, retraining expenses, potential cash bonus payments and potential accelerated payments or terminated costs for certain of its contractual obligations. Adjusted EPS, as defined by the Company, represents earnings per diluted share, excluding the same elements in calculating Adjusted EBITDA (restructuring and other expenses, acquisition and integration expenses, stock-based compensation expense) as well as the impact of acquisition-related intangible amortization. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of our business operations and facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results. For a full reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the attachments to this earnings release.
