99.1 | Press Release dated February 3, 2003 |
Item 9. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
This press release dated February 3, 2004, which announces earnings for our fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003 includes “non-GAAP financial meaures” as defined by SEC rules.
The Tables of Reconciliation presented in our fourth quarter press release demonstrate the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable GAAP measures. As required by Regulation G, the Company has provided a quantitative comparison between the GAAP and disclosed non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP measures presented provide important insight into the ongoing operations and a meaningful comparison of revenue, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating income, net income and earnings per share.
We believe that meaningful analysis of our financial performance requires an understanding of the factors underlying that performance and our judgments about the likelihood that particular factors will repeat. For this reason, we believe that investors may find it useful to see comparative financial results without the effects of TennCare, Synagis and the Wholesale Oncology businesses. The results of these businesses have been removed as they have been exited or ended in the fiscal year. In addition, the Company has presented adjusted results assuming a 40% effective tax rate for the comparative 2002 periods.
In accordance with the procedural guidance in SEC Release No. 33-8216, the
information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto is being furnished
under "Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure" rather than under "Item
12. Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition."
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized.

MIM Reports 4Q EPS of $0.07, Including
$0.01 Operating Results Meet Consensus;
Strong Specialty and Mail Drive Growth ELMSFORD, NY - February 3, 2004 - MIM Corporation (NASDAQ:MIMS) (CBOE:OQX) (AMEX:OQX), a pharmaceutical healthcare organization, today reported fourth quarter and fiscal 2003 results. Financial Highlights(1)
Richard H. Friedman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented: We are pleased with the continued strong performance of the Specialty business, where our focus on serving the needs of payors, patients, physicians and manufacturers is driving earnings growth. We have met consensus estimates from operations. Quarter to quarter sequential growth continues to be strong. MIM recently announced the acquisition of Natural Living, Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical provider, based in the New York metropolitan area. MIM acquired Natural Living for approximately $15 million. Our results demonstrate the success of our business model and ability to leverage existing assets, while taking advantage of accretive acquisition opportunities such as Natural Living, added Mr. Friedman. As previously announced, the State of Tennessee ended its TennCare PBM contract with the Company and other providers, effective July 1, 2003. Furthermore, the Company ceased distributing Synagis in the third quarter of 2003, due to a reduction in distribution channels by the manufacturer. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2003 were $135.7 million compared to $150.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. Fourth quarter revenues increased 26% over 2002, excluding the revenue from TennCare PBM services and Synagis.(1) |
1
Fourth quarter Specialty revenues were $48.3 million compared to $50.4 million for the same period last year. This decrease reflects the loss of $8.4 million in Synagis sales. Excluding the results from Synagis, the Specialty segment grew 15% over the prior years period. Sequentially, fourth quarter Specialty revenues grew 8% over the third quarter. Fourth quarter PBM Services segment revenues, which includes Mail, were $87.5 million compared to $100.3 million for the same period last year. Excluding TennCare PBM services, PBM revenues grew 34% in the current quarter compared to $65.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. (1) During the quarter, MIMs Bioscrip specialty pharmacy division was selected as a national distributor of a newly approved treatment for psoriasis. We are enthusiastic about the opportunity to begin offering this product to our client base of more than 350 managed care organizations and associated physicians, commented Mr. Friedman. Operating income for the fourth quarter was $2.7 million compared to $5.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2002. Operating income grew to $2.7 million versus $2.5 million for the prior years quarter, excluding the results from TennCare and Synagis.(1) Net income for the fourth quarter 2003 was $1.5 million or $0.07 per diluted share based on a 40% effective tax rate. Net income for the fourth quarter 2002 was $4.4 million or $0.19 per diluted share, which was reported using a 20% effective tax rate. Net income for fourth quarter 2003 included $0.6 million in expenses related to an acquisition effort, partially offset by $0.1 million of a reversal of excess business restructuring reserves. Excluding these amounts, fourth quarter net income would have been $1.8 million or $0.08 per diluted share. Applying the 2003 40% effective tax rate and excluding the results from TennCare and Synagis, fourth quarter 2002 earnings per share would have been $0.06 per diluted share.(1) Cost of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $120.5 million, compared with $131.5 million for the same period last year. Excluding the results from TennCare and Synagis, cost of revenue for fourth quarter 2002 was $91.4 million.(1) Gross profit for the quarter was $15.3 million or 11.2% compared to $19.2 million or 12.7% in the prior years period. Excluding the results from TennCare and Synagis, gross profit for fourth quarter 2002 was $16.0 million.(1) Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $12.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2003 from $13.1 million for the same period a year ago and included $0.6 million in expenses related to an acquisition effort, partially offset by $0.1 million of a reversal of excess business restructuring reserves.(1) These results include continued investment in sales and marketing. Chief Financial Officer James S. Lusk said, We have experienced momentum in both the Specialty and Mail services lines. Our balance sheet is very strong and we are well-positioned to grow organically and through acquisition. Revenues for 2003 increased 2% to $588.8 million from $576.6 million in 2002. Revenues for 2003 increased 20% over the prior year, excluding the results from TennCare and Synagis. (1)

Specialty revenues for 2003 increased 14% to $193.2 million from $169.5 million for 2002. Revenues from PBM Services, which includes Mail, were $395.5 million in 2003, compared to $407.1 million in 2002. Excluding the results from TennCare, revenues from PBM Services grew 23% in 2003.(1) Operating income for 2003 was $17.0 million compared to $24.1 million for the same period in 2002. Excluding the results of TennCare and Synagis in 2002 and 2003, operating income for 2003 was $10.5 million compared to $10.6 million for the same period in 2002.(1) Net income for 2003 was $9.7 million or $0.43 per diluted share based on a 40% effective tax rate. Net income for 2002 was $18.7 million or $0.79 per diluted share based on a 20% effective tax rate. Assuming the 2003 40% effective tax rate and excluding the results from TennCare and Synagis in 2002 and 2003, earnings per share would have been $0.26 for 2003, compared to $0.25 for 2002.(1) Cost of revenue for 2003 was $520.2 million, compared with $506 million for 2002. Excluding the results from TennCare and Synagis, cost of revenue for 2003 was $445.2 million compared to $363.9 million for 2002.(1) Gross profit for 2003 was $68.5 million or 11.6% compared to $70.6 million or 12.2% in the prior year. Excluding the results from TennCare and Synagis, gross profit for 2003 was $62.0 million compared to $57.9 million for 2002.(1) Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2003 increased to $49.7 million from $45.9 million for 2002. Selling, general and administrative expenses included $1.5 million in business restructuring expenses. These results reflect continued investment in sales and marketing.(1) Inventory turns remained strong for the quarter at 38. Days sales outstanding decreased to 44 days at December 31, 2003 from 51 days at September 30, 2003 and 46 days at December 31, 2002. The Company generated $14.3 million in operating cash flow for 2003. This includes positive cash from operations of $7.1 million for the fourth quarter and negative cash from operations of $2.9 million in the third quarter, due to a $12.6 million reduction in claims payable primarily related to the loss of the TennCare PBM business. Final rebate payments related to the TennCare PBM business will be made in the first and second quarters of 2004. We enter 2004 with momentum, a strong base for continued growth and a new acquisition, stated Mr. Friedman. Our managed care contracts and physician relationships are significantly expanded. Our product offerings are diverse and we are recognized as a major player in the Specialty arena, with particular regional strongholds. We are comfortable that we can deliver strong earnings growth in 2004 and that the acquisition will be positive and accretive to full year earnings. On a comparative basis, 2004 |
