Express Scripts Holding Company Analyst Notes
On April 29, 2014, Express Scripts Holding Company (Express Scripts) released its Q1 2014 financial results and disappointed the street with its weaker-than-expected performance as well as reduced earnings guidance for full-year 2014. The Company's net income in Q1 2014 declined to $328.3 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, from $373.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in Q1 2013. Express Scripts' adjusted diluted EPS stood at $0.99, which missed the Reuters' analysts' average forecasts by 2 cents. Express Scripts stated that its performance was affected by lower adjusted prescription volume due to severe winter weather, later than expected enrollment in public exchanges and lower net new healthcare reform lives. Revenues also fell 9.0% YoY to $23.7 billion. The Company now expects adjusted EPS of $4.82 to $4.94 for full-year 2014, down from its prior forecast of $4.88 to $5.00.

On May 1, 2014, Incyte Corporation (Incyte) reported Q1 2014 financial results.

Incyte reported that net loss widened to $34.0 million or $0.21 per share in Q1 2014 from $15.7 million or $0.12 per share in Q1 2013, primarily due to the Company's broad investment in its clinical pipeline and additional costs related to the commercialization of Jakafi in myelofibrosis and preparation for the anticipated launch in polycythemia vera.
