COVINGTON, Ky., October 25, 2011 - Omnicare, Inc. (NYSE:OCR) reported today
financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

"We are pleased with our solid third quarter results, which reflect the progress
we are making to become a more operationally driven and customer-focused
company," said John Figueroa, Omnicare's Chief Executive Officer.  "We are
executing on our operating objectives while establishing new ones, and we remain
focused on continuing to drive enhanced value for our shareholders, customers
and other important stakeholders."

Third-Quarter Results

Prior Year Comparison

Financial results from continuing operations for the quarter ended September
30, 2011, as compared with the same prior-year period, were as follows:

* Adjusted gross profit (see discussion below and attached supplemental
information) was $346.1 million as compared with $330.6 million
* GAAP income from continuing operations per diluted share (see "per share"
discussion below and attached supplemental information) was $0.33 versus a
$0.08 loss
* Adjusted income from continuing operations (see discussion below and
attached supplemental information) per share was $0.54 versus $0.53
* Adjusted EBITDA (see discussion below and attached supplemental information)
from continuing operations was $157.2 million compared to $142.2 million

Cash flows from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2011




was $167.1 million versus $116.3 million in the comparable prior-year quarter.
 Included in the third quarter of 2011 was $22.7 million related to the
settlement of a receivable dispute with a large customer.  Included in the third
quarter of 2010 was a settlement payment of approximately $21 million as well as
approximately $7 million of executive separation-related payments.

Sequential Comparison

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

* Gross profit was $346.1 million as compared with $336.4 million
* GAAP income from continuing operations per share was $0.33 versus $0.32
* Adjusted income from continuing operations (see discussion below and
attached supplemental information) per share was $0.54 versus $0.50
* Adjusted EBITDA (see discussion below and attached supplemental information)
from continuing operations was $157.2 million compared to $146.3 million

"The favorable dynamics currently present in the pharmaceutical marketplace,
especially the increased availability of generic drugs, improve the economics
for both Omnicare and its customers," said Mr. Figueroa.  "During the quarter,
we realized the advantages of the rise in generic drug utilization, which,
coupled with our insourcing and other efficiency improvement initiatives, more
than offset a modest deceleration in industry prescription volumes.  In
addition, we have seen positive results from our efforts to reaccelerate growth
in our Specialty Care Group."

Financial Position

During the third quarter of 2011, Omnicare entered into a new $750 million
senior unsecured credit facility, comprised of a $300 million revolving credit
facility and a $450 million Term A Loan, replacing the Company's previous $400
million senior secured revolving credit facility.  Omnicare used the proceeds
from the Term A Loan to redeem $25 million of its 6.125% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2013 (the "6.125% Notes) and $425 million of its Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2015 (the "6.875% Notes).

Also during the three-month period, Omnicare completed its offering of an
additional $150 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.75% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2020.  Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Omnicare
used the proceeds from the offering of 7.75% Notes to redeem the remaining $50
million principal amount on the 6.125% Notes and the remaining $100 million
principal amount on the 6.875% Notes.

In connection with its offering of the additional 7.75% Notes, the Company
entered into two interest rate swap agreements, under which Omnicare pays a
floating rate based on the London interbank offered rate, plus a weighted
average spread of 5.32%.

Omnicare concluded the third quarter of 2011 with no borrowings outstanding on
its revolving credit facility and $681.6 million in cash on its balance sheet.
 Omnicare's total debt to total capital of 36.2% at September 30, 2011, was up
approximately 60 basis points from 35.6% at December 31, 2010 due to the
redemption of the remaining 6.125% Notes and 6.875% Notes taking place in the
fourth quarter of 2011.

With respect to its share repurchase program, Omnicare repurchased approximately
1.8 million shares of common stock during the quarter and paid an aggregate
amount of $50.1 million.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $78.9
million of availability under its current share repurchase authorization.

"During the third quarter, we maintained a high level of cash flow efficiency
and working capital management while making further steps to strengthen our
capital structure," said John L. Workman, Omnicare's President and Chief
Financial Officer.  "Our quarterly cash flows from continuing operations of $167
million brings our nine-month total to $448 million, positioning us for a record
full-year performance.  This elevated level of cash flow generation has enabled
us to continue redeploying capital in areas we expect will create value for our
shareholders."

To facilitate comparisons and to enhance the understanding of core operating
performance, the discussion which follows includes financial measures that are
adjusted from the comparable amount under GAAP to exclude the impact of the
special items discussed elsewhere herein, and to present results on a continuing
operations basis.  For a detailed presentation of reconciling items and related
definitions and components, please refer to the attached schedules or to
reconciliation schedules posted at the Investor Relations section of Omnicare's

supplemental slides available in the same section on its Web site today that

Nine-Month Results

Financial results from continuing operations for the nine months ended September
30, 2011, as compared with the same prior-year period, were as follows:

* Net sales were $4,625.8 million as compared with $4,500.0 million
* GAAP income from continuing operations per share was $1.07 as compared with
$0.61
* Adjusted income from continuing operations (see discussion below and
attached supplemental information) per share was $1.55 as compared with
$1.61
EBITDA from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2011, including
the impact of special items and accounting changes, was $406.2 million versus
$317.8 million in the comparable prior-year period.  Excluding the special
items, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in the first nine months of
2011 was $449.7 million as compared with $450.6 million in the first nine months
of 2010.

Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the first nine months of
2011 totaled $447.9 million versus $269.2 million in the comparable prior-year
period.

Special Items

The results for the third quarter of 2011 and 2010 include the impact of special
items and accounting changes totaling approximately $39.7 million pretax ($24.5
million aftertax, or approximately $0.21 per share) and $111.5 million pretax
($71.0 million aftertax, or approximately $0.61 per share), respectively.

Results for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010 include special items
totaling $82.7 million pretax ($55.1 million aftertax, or approximately $0.48
per share) and $182.5 million pretax ($116.9 million aftertax, or approximately
$0.99 per share), respectively.

The special items have been described in further detail in the "Footnotes and
Definitions to Financial Information" section elsewhere herein.

Outlook

Reflecting its more favorable outlook on cash flows as well as a narrower
earnings guidance range, Omnicare now expects the following for full-year 2011:

* Revenues of $6.0 billion to $6.1 billion
* Income per diluted share from continuing operations of $2.09 to $2.13
(excluding special items)
* Cash flow from continuing operations increased to $500 million to $525
million (from prior guidance of $400 million to $450 million)

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 $40 million, $28 million and $111 million
in the three months ended September 30 and June 30, 2011 and September
30, 2010, respectively, and approximately $83 million and $182 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30 and June 30, 2011 and
September 30, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 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

30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 included acquisition and other related costs of
approximately $6.7 million, $2.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively.  These
expenses were primarily related to professional fees and acquisition related
restructuring costs for acquisitions, offset by reductions in the Company's
original estimate of contingent consideration payable for acquisitions in the

expenses of approximately $10.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

ii.            Financial results from continuing operations for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 2011 include charges of approximately $20.2
million and $21.2 million, respectively, primarily due to net debt redemption

the 6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes, due 2015, and $2.5 million related to the
termination of the Company's old revolving credit agreement.  The nine month
ended 2011 period also includes approximately $1.1 million related to the early
redemption of $200 million of 6.125% Senior Subordinated Notes, due 2013.  The
nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes approximately $10.2 million of
debt redemption costs related to the Company's Q2 2010 refinancing transactions.

iii.            Operating income includes restructuring and other related
charges of approximately $3.3 million and $10.3 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, in connection with the "Omnicare
Full Potential" Plan.

                                       iv.            For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2010, operating income includes a special
charge/(credit) of approximately $(3.0) million and $(1.1) million,
respectively, for additional costs (net of recoveries) precipitated by the
quality control, product recall and fire issues at one of the Company's
repackaging locations ("Repack Matters").
v.            Operating income includes charges of approximately $0.9 million
and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010,
respectively, relating to the accounting for share-based payments, which
primarily relates to non-cash stock option expense.

vi.            In connection with funding the benefit payments to certain former
executives in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company
recorded a gain, recorded in investment income, of approximately $3.2 million on
rabbi trust assets liquidated to make the payments.

(iii).            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 September 30 and June 30, 2011, respectively.
  These costs totaled approximately $8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2010 and $18 million and $22 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

                    (iv).            Operating income for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2010 included separation, benefit plan termination
and related costs of approximately $65 million, which was comprised of the
following:

                                       i.            A charge of approximately
$40 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.

                                       ii.            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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

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.  In connection with these activities,
and as a result of the Company's third quarter 2011 fair value assessment,
Omnicare recorded a loss on discontinued operations for the DME portion of the
Disposal Group in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  For the
nine months ended September 30, 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 as of
September 30, 2011.  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.
