  • CVS Health and Oak Street Health anticipate that the transaction will close in 2023.

  • By 2026, Oak Street Health will have over 300 centers, each of which has the potential to contribute $7 million of Oak Street Health Adjusted EBITDA at maturity, representing more than $2 billion of Oak Street Health embedded Adjusted EBITDA at that time. 

  • Additionally, CVS Health projects more than $500 million in synergy potential over time.

  • CVS Health reported Q4 sales of $83.85 billion, up 9.5% Y/Y, driven by growth across all segments, beating the consensus of $76.21 billion. 

  • Operating income decreased 41.3% for FY22 to $7.75 billion, primarily due to $5.8 billion of opioid litigation charges and a $2.5 billion loss on assets held for sale related to the write-down of the company's Omnicare long-term care business.

  • Guidance: CVS Health projects 2023 Adjusted EPS of $8.70-$8.90 versus the consensus of $8.86. CVS Health is now targeting 2024 Adjusted EPS of approximately $9.00, growing to approximately $10.00 in 2025.
