Fourth-Quarter Results

Prior Year Comparison

Financial results from continuing operations for the quarter ended December
31, 2011, as compared with the same prior-year period, were as follows:

* Adjusted gross profit was $359.7 million as compared with $334.3 million
* GAAP income from continuing operations per diluted share was $0.34 versus a
$0.50 loss
* Adjusted income from continuing operations (see "per share" discussion below




and attached supplemental information) per share was $0.58 versus $0.51
* Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $162.9 million versus $147.6
million

Cash flows from continuing operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2011
were $101.5 million versus $99.7 million in the comparable prior-year quarter.

Sequential Comparison

In comparison to the third quarter of 2011, financial results from continuing
operations for the fourth quarter of 2011 were as follows:

* Gross profit was $359.7 million as compared with $346.1 million
* GAAP income from continuing operations per share was $0.34 versus $0.33
* Adjusted income from continuing operations (see discussion below and
attached supplemental information) per share was $0.58 versus $0.54
* Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $162.9 million compared to

"During the fourth quarter, we benefited from the introduction of new generic
drugs, which lower the cost of pharmaceutical care for both Omnicare and its
customers," said Mr. Figueroa.  "This pharmaceutical market dynamic, coupled
with the continued rapid growth of our Specialty Care Group, contributed to our
4% sequential increase in gross profit and supported further investments in the
business."

Financial Position

During the fourth quarter of 2011, Omnicare used the proceeds from its offering
of an additional $150 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.75% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2020 to redeem the remaining $50 million principal amount
on its 6.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the "6.125% Notes") and the
remaining $100 million principal amount on its 6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2015 (the "6.875% Notes").

Omnicare ended the year with $582.6 million in cash on its balance sheet and a
34.5% total debt to total capital ratio at December 31, 2011, which was down
approximately 110 basis points from 35.6% at December 31, 2010.

With respect to its share repurchase program, Omnicare repurchased approximately
0.7 million shares of common stock during the quarter and paid an aggregate
amount of $20 million.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $58.9 million
of availability under its current share repurchase authorization.

"We continue to be very pleased with our ability to convert earnings into cash
flows," said John L. Workman, Omnicare's President and Chief Financial Officer.
 "Our fourth-quarter cash flows from continuing operations of $101 million bring
our 2011 total to $549 million, representing the highest annual output in
Omnicare's 30-year history.  These robust cash flows have enabled us to maintain
an opportunistic yet disciplined approach to capital deployment with the
underlying objective of deploying cash toward those opportunities that we
believe generate the most value for our shareholders."

Non-GAAP Information:
Omnicare, Inc. ("Omnicare" or the "Company") management believes that presenting
certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude items not considered part of
the core operating results of the Company and certain non-cash charges, enhances
investors' understanding of how Omnicare management assesses the performance of
the Company's business.  Omnicare management uses non-GAAP measures for
budgeting purposes, measuring actual results, allocating resources and in
determining employee incentive compensation.  Omnicare's method of calculating
non-GAAP financial results may differ from those used by other companies and,
therefore, comparability may be limited.

a. Financial results from continuing operations included special item charges
of approximately $39 million, $40 million and $167 million in the three
months ended December 31 and September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively, as well as approximately $121 million and $350 million in the
year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Additional information
regarding the special item charges follows:
i. Operating income includes settlement, litigation and other related charges
(including related professional expenses) for resolution of certain
regulatory matters with various states and regulatory agencies, as well as
costs associated with certain large customer disputes, purported class and
derivative actions against the Company, and settlement of the investigation
by the United States Attorney's Office, District of Massachusetts (in the
2010 period). Additionally, Omnicare has made, and will continue to make,
disclosures to the applicable governmental agencies of amounts, if any,
determined to represent over-payments from the respective programs and,
where applicable, those amounts, as well as any amounts relating to certain
inspections, audits, inquiries and investigations activity are included in
the pretax items recognized.
(ii)   Financial results from continuing operations for the three months ended
December 31 and September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the year ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010 included the following special item charges which are
included in the cost of sales, other miscellaneous charges and interest expense
captions of the income statement:
i. Operating income for the three months ended December 31 and September
30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 included acquisition and other related costs
of approximately $14.6 million, $6.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
These expenses were primarily related to professional fees and acquisition
related restructuring costs for acquisitions, offset by reductions in the
Company's purchase accounting reserves in 2011 and the original estimate of
contingent consideration payable for acquisitions in the 2010 period. The
years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 included similar expenses of
approximately $25.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively.
ii.   Financial results from continuing operations for the three months ended
December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 and year ended December
31, 2011include charges of approximately $4.2 million, $20.2 million and $25.5
million, respectively, primarily due to net debt redemption costs for the early
redemption of $525 million of the 6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes, due 2015,
and costs related to the termination of the Company's old revolving credit
agreement and the early redemption of $250 million of 6.125% Senior Subordinated
Notes, due 2013. The three months and year ended December 31, 2010 includes
approximately $31.5 million and $41.6 million, respectively, for debt redemption
loss and costs related to the Company's 2010 refinancing transactions.
iii.   Operating income for the three months and year ended December 31, 2011
and year ended December 31, 2010 included separation, benefit plan termination
and related costs of approximately $1 million and $65 million, respectively,
which was comprised of the following:
a. A charge of approximately $1.0 million in the three months and year ended
December 31, 2011 for restricted stock amortization to a former executive.
b.   A charge of approximately $40 million in the year ended December 31, 2010
for separation costs with three former Omnicare executives. These amounts
primarily relate to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards, stock
options, severance, interest, and employer payroll taxes on these items.
c.   On September 30, 2010, the Company terminated the defined benefit portion
of its Excess Benefit Plan. As a result of the Plan termination, the Company
recognized a one-time charge to expense of approximately $25 million for benefit
plan termination and related costs in the year ended December 31, 2010.
iv.   For the three months and year ended December 31, 2011, operating income
includes a special (credit) of approximately $(10.5) million for insurance
recoveries related to the quality control, product recall and fire issues at one
of the Company's repackaging locations ("Repack Matters"). The three months and
year ended December 31, 2010 includes a special (credit) of approximately $(0.1)
million and $(1.2) million, respectively, for similar recoveries, partially
offset by additional costs precipitated by the Repack Matters.
v.   Operating income includes restructuring and other related charges of
approximately $6.8 million and $17.2 million for the three months and year ended
December 31, 2010, respectively, in connection with the "Omnicare Full
Potential" Plan and "Company-Wide Reorganization" Program.
vi.   In the three months and year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded
a charge of approximately $13 million for an impairment of a trade name
intangible asset based on the results of the Company's annual assessment, as
well as an other asset impairment charge of approximately $10 million primarily
to write-off software assets that were abandoned.
vii.   Operating income includes charges of approximately $0.7 million and $4.2
million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2010, respectively,
relating to the accounting for share-based payments, which primarily relates to
non-cash stock option expense.
viii.   In connection with funding the benefit payments to certain former
executives in the three months and year ended December 31, 2010, the Company
recognized a gain, recorded in investment income, of approximately $0.4 million
and $3.6 million, respectively, on rabbi trust assets liquidated to make these
benefit payments.
ix.   The three months and year ended December 31, 2010 include a charge of
approximately $6.8 million relating to the termination of the Company's prior
aircraft lease.
(iii)   The provision for doubtful accounts includes an incremental charge
recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010 relating to the Company's Senior
Management team taking a different strategic approach for the resolution of past
due accounts which are disputed and/or currently in litigation.
(iv)   The Company recorded non-cash interest expense from the amortization of
debt discount on its convertible notes of approximately $6 million in the three
months ended December 31 and September 30, 2011, respectively. These costs
totaled approximately $7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010,
and $24 million and $30 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively.

Discontinued Operations:
In 2009, the Company commenced activities to divest certain home healthcare and
related ancillary businesses ("the Disposal Group") that are non-strategic in
nature.  Also, in connection with the reallocation of resources started in the
second half of 2010 and the previously disclosed unfavorable market conditions
experienced by its Contract Research Services organization ("CRO Services")
business, the Company committed to a plan to divest of its CRO Services business
in the first quarter of 2011 and completed the divestiture in April 2011.  Also,
in the second quarter of 2011, the Company divested its Tidewater Group
Purchasing Organization ("Tidewater").  The Company determined that the CRO
Services and Tidewater businesses were no longer good strategic fits within the
Company's portfolio of assets.  In the third quarter of 2011, the prior letter
of intent ("LOI") regarding the disposition of the remaining durable medical
equipment ("DME") portion of the Disposal Group was terminated, and a new LOI
was entered into with a separate party.  The Company closed the DME transaction
in the fourth quarter of 2011.  In connection with these activities, Omnicare
recorded an impairment loss in discontinued operations for the DME portion of
the Disposal Group in the three months ended December 31, 2011, September
30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2011.  For the year ended December
31, 2011, CRO Services and Tidewater recorded impairment losses to reduce the
carrying value of the CRO Services and Tidewater operations to fair value based
on the final terms of the divestiture.  The year ended December 31, 2010
includes an impairment loss to reduce the carrying value of the CRO Services
operations to fair value.  The results from operations for all periods presented
have been revised to reflect the results of the Disposal Group and Tidewater
(collectively, the "Non-Core Disposal Group"), as well as CRO Services as
discontinued operations, including certain expenses of the Company related to
the divestitures.

Definitions:
GAAP:
Amounts that conform with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
("GAAP").

Non-GAAP:
Amounts that do not conform with U.S. GAAP.

Earnings Per Share:
EPS (basic EPS; special items, net of taxes; adjusted basic EPS; diluted EPS;
and adjusted diluted EPS) is reported independently for each amount presented.
 Accordingly, the sum of the individual amounts may not necessarily equal the
separately calculated amounts for the corresponding period.

EBIT:
EBIT represents earnings before interest expense (net of investment income) and
income taxes.

EBITDA:
EBITDA represents earnings before interest expense (net of investment income),
income taxes, depreciation and amortization.  Omnicare uses EBITDA primarily as
an indicator of the Company's ability to service its debt, and believes that
certain investors find EBITDA to be a useful financial measure for the same
purpose.  EBITDA does not represent net cash flows from operating activities, as
defined by U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as a substitute for operating
cash flows as a measure of liquidity.  Omnicare's calculation of EBITDA may
differ from the calculation of EBITDA by others.  Certain special items must be
added back to (or deducted from) EBITDA and/or Adjusted EBITDA to avoid "double-
counting" in the Company's calculation of EBITDA.
