"The integration of NMHC is proceeding according to plan and we are well on track to reach our deal-related financial and operational milestones," said Mark Thierer, President and CEO of SXC. "Against this backdrop, we had a strong quarter of sales activity generated from customers in a variety of target markets. This activity validates our business strategy by demonstrating that we are a valued provider of technology and pharmacy benefit services to a broad cross-section of health care organizations. With two solid quarters under our belt and a promising sales pipeline in multiple markets, we believe that we are now on pace to reach the higher end of the range for our 2008 guidance."

Q2 and Year-to-date Financial Review

On April 30, 2008, SXC closed the acquisition of NMHC. As a result, SXC has introduced some new segmentation and presentation of its financial results. Revenue is now segmented into two groups: Pharmacy Benefit Manager ("PBM") which includes informedRx, mail-order operations and specialty pharmacy, and Health Care Information Technology ("HCIT"). SXC records PBM revenue from NMHC exclusively on a gross basis which equates to the prescription price paid by consumers plus an administrative fee. NMHC's PBM revenue was originally expected to have been recorded on a combination of a gross and net basis. As a result, using this accounting treatment has increased our expected revenue guidance range, but has not impacted the gross profit guidance range. The HCIT business continues to record revenue only on the basis of the administrative fee; drug ingredient cost is not included in revenues or cost of claims.

The net effect is that revenues have increased dramatically while gross profit margin and adjusted EBITDA have increased in absolute dollar terms, but have declined as a percentage of total sales. These changes do not affect profitability on an absolute dollar or per share basis.

Revenue and Gross Profit

Revenue for Q2 2008 was $227.8 million compared to $23.1 million in Q2 2007. For the YTD period, revenue was $252.1 million compared to $47.4 million in the same period last year.

Gross profit for Q2 2008 was $29.8 million, or 13.1% of revenue, compared to $13.4 million, or 58.2% of revenue, in Q2 2007. For the YTD period, gross profit was $43.3 million, or 17.2% of revenue, compared to $28.1 million, or 59.2% of revenue, in the same period last year.

    * In reviewing the above tables, it is important to note that the
        revenue for SXC's legacy informedRx business is captured in the HCIT
        segment for 2007 and in the PBM segment for 2008. As a result, the
        HCIT segment shows a slight decline in revenue for the three- and
        six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, due to the inclusion of some
        of the previously classified HCIT business now recorded in the new
        PBM segment.
    >>

PBM revenue was $204.9 million for the Q2 2008 and YTD periods. This figure reflects the addition of the NMHC business, as well as the existing informedRX business of SXC and includes a new SXC PBM contract that went live on April 1, 2008. The PBM segment revenue totals were higher than expected for the period due to the NMHC PBM revenue being recorded exclusively on a gross basis. This has had no impact on the dollar value of gross margin, but does have the effect of decreasing gross margin percentage.

Q2 2008 revenue for the HCIT segment consisted of $16.0 million of recurring revenue and $6.9 million of non-recurring revenue, compared to $17.2 million and $5.9 million, respectively, in the same period last year. Recurring revenue consisted of transaction processing revenue of $11.9 million, down 9% from $13.1 million in Q2 2007, and maintenance revenue of $4.1 million, consistent with $4.1 million in Q2 2007. The decline in transaction processing revenue is due to the fact that informedRx revenue is reported in the PBM segment for 2008 and was reported in the HCIT segment in 2007. Overall, recurring revenue accounted for 70% of HCIT revenue in Q2 2008, compared to 75% in Q2 2007.

Q2 2008 non-recurring revenue consisted of system sales revenue of $3.8 million, up 48% from $2.6 million last year, and professional service revenue of $3.1 million, down from $3.3 million in Q2 2007. The increase in system sales revenue is primarily due to the multi-million dollar license agreement completed with CVS during the quarter.

Revenue for the YTD period in the HCIT segment was comprised of $34.9 million of recurring revenue and $12.3 million of non-recurring revenue, compared to $35.1 million and $12.3 million, respectively, in the same period last year. Recurring revenue consisted of transaction processing revenue of $26.5 million, down 1% from $26.9 million last year, and maintenance revenue of $8.3 million compared to $8.2 million last year. Overall, recurring revenue accounted for 74% of HCIT revenue for the YTD period, compared to 74% in the same period last year.

Non-recurring revenue for the YTD period consisted of system sales revenue of $5.5 million, down from $5.7 million last year, and professional service revenue of $6.9 million, up from $6.6 million last year.

Product Development Costs

Q2 2008 product development costs were $2.5 million compared to $2.6 million for Q2 2007. Product development costs for the YTD period were $4.9 million, compared to $5.6 million in the prior year period.

Selling, General and Administration ("SG&A") Costs

Q2 2008 SG&A costs were $19.6 million compared to $7.0 million for Q2 2007. SG&A for the YTD period was $25.4 million compared to $13.2 million in the same period last year. $10.7 million of the increase for the Q2 and YTD periods is attributable to the operating expenses related to the April 2008 purchase of NMHC. Also included in the Q2 and YTD SG&A totals is approximately $1.8 million in severance expense.

Adjusted EBITDA(1)

Q2 2008 adjusted EBITDA was $9.6 million compared to $4.9 million for Q2 2007. For the YTD period, adjusted EBITDA was $15.9 million compared to $11.2 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA increased year-over-year due in part to the addition of the NMHC business, the increase in overall revenue, in particular the multi-million dollar high margin systems sales contract with CVS, synergies generated from the acquisition, and offset in part by the operating expenses related to the purchase of NMHC and the $1.8 million of severance expense.

Income Taxes

Q2 2008 income tax expense was $0.53 million representing an effective tax rate of 14% compared to a $1.2 million income tax expense representing an effective tax rate of 28% in Q2 2007. For the YTD period, income tax expense was $2.2 million representing an effective tax rate of 25% compared to a $2.9 million income tax expense representing an effective tax rate of 30% in the same period last year. The change in the effective tax rate is due primarily to the acquisition and the ability to utilize tax losses. For fiscal 2008, SXC expects to have an effective tax rate of approximately 25%.

Net Income

Q2 2008 net income was $3.3 million, or $0.14 per share (diluted), compared to $3.0 million, or $0.14 per share (diluted) in Q2 2007. Net income for the YTD period was $6.6 million, or $0.29 per share (diluted), compared to $6.7 million, or $0.31 per share (diluted) in the same period last year.

Q2 2008 non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share(1) was $0.21 per share (diluted). Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share(1) for the YTD period was $0.37 per share (diluted).

SXC continues to generate strong cash from operations. In Q2 2008, the Company generated cash from operations of approximately $9.0 million, compared to cash used in operations of $4.7 million in Q2 2007. For the YTD period, SXC generated cash from operations of approximately $17.0 million, compared to $5.2 million in the same period last year. The Company's quarterly cash flows can be impacted by the timing of pharmacy deposit and rebate payments it receives for certain customers. Net of pharmacy deposits and rebates payments, Q2 2008 and YTD cash from operations were approximately $14.2 million and $21.0 million, respectively. This compares to cash from operations of $3.0 million and $8.7 million in the corresponding periods of the prior year.

At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totalling $50.1 million and $90.9 million, respectively. The decrease is primarily related to cash paid in the acquisition of NMHC ($101.7 million), partially offset by borrowings under the term loan ($46.5 million).

2008 Financial Guidance

With today's announcement, SXC is increasing its consolidated revenue guidance from a range of $545-600 million to $825-$875 million. Based on its original forecast, the Company is also now guiding to the higher end of the following ranges:

    <<
    -   Gross profit of $106-$114 million
    -   Adjusted EBITDA of $35-$39 million
    -   GAAP EPS (diluted) of $0.41-$0.50 (including the amortization
        directly related to the NMHC acquisition)
    -   Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share(1) (diluted) of $0.61-$0.70
        (excluding the NMHC transaction-related amortization)
    >>

The Company reconfirms its objective of generating $6.0-$8.0 million of synergies in the first 12 months following closing of the NMHC transaction, and $12-$14 million of synergies in the subsequent 12 months.

(1)Non-GAAP Financial Measures

SXC reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). SXC's management also evaluates and makes operating decisions using various other measures. Three such measures are adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted prescription volume which are non-GAAP financial measures. SXC's management believes that these measures provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of SXC's business operations.

Adjusted earnings per share is a non-GAAP measure which takes earnings per share and adds back the impact of acquisition-related amortization expense, net of tax. Acquisition-related amortization expense is a non-cash expense arising from the acquisition of intangible assets in connection with the acquisition. SXC excludes acquisition-related amortization expense from non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of SXC business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions and full amortization of previously acquired intangible assets. Investors should note that the use of these intangible assets will contribute to revenue in the future period presented and periods beyond that and should also note that such expense will recur in future periods. The 2008 guidance of adjusted earnings per share were computed by taking the Company's GAAP earnings per share guidance of $0.61-$0.70 and adding back the expected impact of acquisition-related amortization expense, net of tax.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management believes is a useful supplemental measure of operating performance prior to net interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, debt service, and certain other one-time charges. Management believes it is useful to exclude depreciation, amortization and net interest income (expense) as these are essentially fixed amounts that cannot be influenced by management in the short term. In addition, management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation as this is not a cash expense. Lastly, debt service and certain other one-time charges (including lease termination charges and losses on disposals of capital assets) are excluded as these are not recurring items.

Management believes that adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted prescription volume provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of the Company's business operations and facilitate comparisons to its historical operating results. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting as it believes that the measures are indicative of the Company's core operating results. Note however, that these items are performance measures only, and do not provide any measure of the Company's cash flow or liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP, and investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted prescription volume equals SXC's Mail Service prescriptions multiplied by three, plus its retail and specialty prescriptions. The Mail Service prescriptions are multiplied by three to adjust for the fact that they typically include approximately three times the amount of product days supplied compared with retail prescriptions.

Adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted prescription volume do not have standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP. The Company's method of calculating these items may differ from the methods used by other companies and, accordingly, it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income is shown below (in thousands):
