Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you describe how the burden of tariffs is distributed between Omnicell and your customers? Are you passing through some portion of the price, or are you absorbing all of the impact?
A: Currently, we are not passing significant price increases to customers. We may consider not lowering discounts as much, but our main focus is reorienting our supply chain to reduce the impact of tariffs. - Randall Lipps, CEO
Q: Could you talk about the cadence of the $40 million tariff impact? Will the biggest impact be in Q4 since that's when you install the most hardware?
A: The total impact for the year is $40 million, with $5 million recorded in Q2. The remainder will impact the second half of the year, with some bias towards Q4, which is typically our strongest revenue quarter. - Nchacha Etta, CFO
Q: Are there any fundamentals within the hospital market that could drive a reacceleration in demand for pharmacy IT?
A: Specialty pharmacy is becoming more strategic for providers, focusing on revenue generation in outpatient settings. This strategic shift is driving demand for our solutions, and we continue to see positive momentum in the market. - Randall Lipps, CEO
Q: What are the key mitigation steps for the new EBITDA guidance range concerning tariffs?
A: We are reallocating our supply chain to more favorable geographies, including North America, and evaluating pricing actions to mitigate tariff impacts. Accelerating component shipments from lower tariff geographies is also part of our strategy. - Nchacha Etta, CFO
Q: How much time would it take to sufficiently disintermediate the supply chain exposure to China?
A: We have made investments across multiple geographies, providing flexibility to move allocations out of China. This process will happen over time, with some components still flowing through China and Taiwan. - Randall Lipps, CEO
Q: How would you characterize the hospital buying environment despite tariffs?
A: The environment has improved, with hospitals focusing on strategic investments in pharmacy, including outpatient and specialty strategies, to enhance patient care and outcomes. - Randall Lipps, CEO
Q: Can you provide an update on the IBX product?
A: We had a successful first quarter rollout of the next release, receiving favorable responses from customers. The product continues to build momentum with a strong sales pipeline. - Randall Lipps, CEO
