Behind the Numbers: PLS Key PLS highlights

Expands Quest’s total addressable market

Organic business win, not an acquisition

Hospital lab volumes now booked as Quest volumes

Quest often becomes sole reference partner

PLS can lead to acquisition of hospital’s outreach lab

Margin and revenue per requisition implications

Lower margins because Quest shares savings with hospital

Lower revenue per requisition

– Often more routine testing with fewer tests per requisition

– Only billing for our costs plus a reasonable margin

– Don’t have draw, billing, and bad debt costs which account for >20%

of requisition costs

Recognized revenue dependent on the scope of services

Hospital beds 300

Hospital lab spend $10 mln

Targeted lab savings 15%

Lab savings to hospital $1.5 mln

Quest recognized revenue $8.5 mln

Quest cost of sales $7.2 mln

Behind the Numbers: Hospital outreach acquisition

Creates long term partnership with hospital, not like a standard

acquisition

Asset worth different amounts to different purchasers based on

cost structure

Earn deal out on cost synergies

Deal includes non-compete

Outreach acquisition can lead to PLS

agreement and/or reference work

Can reduce costs for health plans and expand

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

The following non-GAAP measures for: (i) equivalent revenue growth; (ii) adjusted income

from continuing operations; (iii) adjusted diluted EPS; (iv) adjusted diluted EPS excluding

amortization expense; (v) free cash flow; and (vi) percentage of free cash flow returned to

shareholders are presented because management believes those measures are useful

adjuncts to GAAP results. Non-GAAP, or “adjusted”, measures should not be considered

as an alternative to the corresponding measures determined under GAAP. Management

may use these non-GAAP measures to evaluate our performance period over period and

relative to competitors, to analyze the underlying trends in our business, to establish

operational budgets and forecasts or for incentive compensation purposes. We believe that

these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and analysts to evaluate our

performance period over period and relative to competitors, as well as to analyze the

underlying trends in our business and to assess our performance. The following tables

reconcile reported GAAP measures to non-GAAP adjusted measures:
