Workman, Omnicare's Chief Executive Officer.  "During the fourth quarter, we continued to leverage our scale position in our Long-Term Care Group to capitalize on the increased utilization of low-cost generic drugs, while also driving robust results within the manufacturer-focused platforms of our Specialty Care Group." Fourth-Quarter Results Financial results from continuing operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, as compared with the same prior-year period, were as follows: * Net sales was $1,530 million versus $1,557 million * Gross profit was $377 million as compared with $360 million * GAAP income from continuing operations per diluted share was $0.54 versus $0.34 * Adjusted cash earnings per diluted share from continuing operations (see "per share" discussion below and attached supplemental information) was $0.86 versus $0.78 * Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $164 million versus $163 million Cash flows from continuing operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 were $128 million versus $101 million in the comparable prior-year quarter. "We are encouraged by the progress we have made since standardizing our approach to operations," said Nitin Sahney, Omnicare's President and Chief Operating Officer.  "Within our Long-Term Care Group, we continue to implement our previously outlined multi-phased operating plan to drive greater results.  Most recently, we executed a sales transformation strategy while also refining our approach to customer retention.  Our Specialty Care Group continues to demonstrate very solid growth, which is a reflection of the investments we have made over the course of the past two years." Financial Position Omnicare concluded the fourth quarter of 2012 with no borrowings outstanding on its revolving credit facility and $455 million in cash on its balance sheet. Omnicare repurchased approximately 0.8 million additional shares of common stock during the fourth quarter for an aggregate amount of $28 million, while also entering into a previously announced Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) agreement to repurchase an aggregate of $250 million of the Company's common stock.  Under the ASR agreement, Omnicare received approximately 5.8 million shares at the inception of the ASR agreement in exchange for $250 million.  The total number of shares ultimately repurchased under the agreement will be determined upon the final settlement in the first half of 2013.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $220 million of availability under its current share repurchase authorization. "Our strong fourth-quarter cash flows enabled us to continue redeploying capital in a manner that we believe is advantageous for our shareholders," said Rocky Kraft, Omnicare's Chief Financial Officer.  "For the full-year, we returned over $434 million to shareholders through share repurchases and cash dividends, marking a 176% increase over the amount returned in 2011." Full-Year Results Financial results from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared with the same prior-year period, were as follows: * Net sales were $6,160 million versus $6,183 million * Gross profit was $1,483 million versus $1,377 million * GAAP income from continuing operations per share was $1.73 versus $1.41 * Adjusted cash earnings per diluted share from continuing operations was $3.36 versus $2.90 * Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $676 million versus $613 million Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the full-year 2012 totaled $544 million versus $549 million for the full-year 2011.

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 fourth quarter of 2011, the Company divested the remaining durable medical equipment ("DME") portion of the Disposal Group.  In connection with these activities, Omnicare recorded an impairment loss in discontinued operations in the three months and year ended December 31, 2011 to reduce the carrying value of the CRO Services and Non-Core disposal group operations to fair value based on the final terms of the divestiture.
