Specifically, revenues for the period grew 10.3% from the prior year to $88.9 billion and came in over $2 billion above the $86.53 billion consensus estimate as the company continued to benefit from solid growth across all of its segments.
The higher revenues and better purchasing economics in Health Services helped limit the pressure put on profit margins from lower pharmacy reimbursements and the anticipated decline in COVID-19 vaccinations and diagnostic testing in Pharmacy & Consumer Wellness, as well as increased outpatient utilization in Medicare Advantage when compared with pandemic-reduced utilization levels in the prior year. As a result, adjusted earnings fell by only 12.6% to $2.
