2017 Guidance:

The fiscal year 2017 financial results are expected to be characterized by two distinct phases, as revenue and profitability are expected to be impacted by the Company's XT Series product introduction transition and manufacturing ramp up:

A. The first phase encompasses the introduction and ramp up of manufacturing for the XT Series in the first quarter of 2017, with anticipated dynamics including:

• Conversion of G4 product bookings and backlog, and sales quotes to XT Series bookings;
• XT Series manufacturing volume ramp up;
• Installation of the XT Series product at launch customers;
• XT Series manufacturing ramp up cost;
• Reduction of workforce by approximately 100 positions, and the closure of the Company's Tennessee office; and
• General hiring delays

For the first quarter of 2017, the Company expects non-GAAP revenue to be between $150 million and $155 million. Omnicell expects first quarter of 2017 non-GAAP earnings to be between $0.00 and $0.04 per share.

B. The second phase encompasses the acceleration of installations and conversion of product backlog into revenue during the second through the fourth quarters of 2017, with anticipated dynamics including:

• Launch of Acudose-Rx^® on XT Series;
• Improvement of XT Series production cost;
• Above 20% growth rate for product bookings;
• Return to 8%-12% revenue organic growth range rate;
• XT Series cost of sales reductions as revenue ramps up;
• Continuation of cost reduction initiatives; and
• Implement development and manufacturing Centers of Excellence (''COEs")

As part of the next phase of the integration of the acquisition of Aesynt the Company is creating the following Centers of Excellence ("COEs") for product development, engineering, and manufacturing:

• the Point of Use COE in California;
• the Robotics and Central Pharmacy COE in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and
• the Medication Adherence Consumables COE in St. Petersburg, Florida

The Company today announced a reduction of its workforce by approximately 100 full-time employees, or about 4% of its total headcount, anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2017. This reduction in force includes the closure of the Company's Nashville, Tennessee office, anticipated in the first quarter of 2017, and the closure of the Company's manufacturing facility in Slovenia, anticipated in the third quarter of 2017. The Company expects to incur approximately $4 million of restructuring expenses in connection with the reduction in force for one-time termination benefits, comprised principally of severance. The Company expects to incur approximately an additional $4 million of restructuring expenses in connection with facility leases, dilapidation, and other one-time facilities-related expenses.

For the second through the fourth quarters of 2017, the Company expects non-GAAP revenue to be between $590 million and $605 million, representing 8%-12% growth both on a reported and organic basis. For the second through fourth quarters of 2017, the Company expects non-GAAP earnings to be between $1.32 and $1.38 per share, representing above 15% growth, both on a reported and organic basis.

For the year 2017, Omnicell expects product bookings to be between $570 million and $590 million. The Company expects non-GAAP revenue to be between $740 million and $760 million, and non-GAAP earnings to be between $1.32 and $1.42 per share.

The table below summarizes Omnicell's 2017 guidance for the two distinct phases outlined above:

Reporting Segments

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Our management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various performance measures. In addition to Omnicell's GAAP results, we also consider non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. Additionally, we calculate Adjusted EBITDA (another non-GAAP measure) by means of adjustments to GAAP Net Income. These non-GAAP results should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit, operating expenses, net income, net income per diluted share, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. We present these non-GAAP results because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of Omnicell's performance.

Our non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share are exclusive of certain items to facilitate management's review of the comparability of Omnicell's core operating results on a period to period basis because such items are not related to Omnicell's ongoing core operating results as viewed by management. We define our "core operating results" as those revenues recorded in a particular period and the expenses incurred within that period that directly drive operating income in that period. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making operating decisions because, in addition to meaningful supplemental information regarding operating performance, the measures give us a better understanding of how we should invest in research and development, fund infrastructure growth and evaluate the effectiveness of marketing strategies. In calculating the above non-GAAP results, management specifically adjusted for the following excluded items:

a) Stock-based compensation expense. We excluded from our non-GAAP results the expense related to equity-based compensation plans as they represent expenses that do not require cash settlement from Omnicell.

b) Intangible assets amortization from business acquisitions. We excluded from our non-GAAP results the intangible assets amortization expense resulting from our past acquisitions. These non-cash charges are not considered by management to reflect the core cash-generating performance of the business and therefore are excluded from our non-GAAP results.

c) Amortization of debt issuance cost. Debt issuance cost represents costs associated with the issuance of Term Loan and Revolving Line of Credit facilities. The cost includes underwriting fees, original issue discount, ticking fee, and legal fees. This non-cash expense is not considered by management to reflect the core cash-generating performance of the business and therefore is excluded from our non-GAAP results.

d) Acquisition accounting impact related to deferred revenue. In connection with acquisition of Aesynt, business combination rules require us to account for the fair values of arrangements for which acceptance has not been obtained, and post installation support has not been provided in our purchase accounting. The non-GAAP adjustment to our revenues is intended to include the full amounts of such revenues. We believe the adjustment to these revenues is useful as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business.

e) Inventory fair value adjustments. In connection with acquisition of Aesynt, business combination rules require us to account for the fair values of inventory acquired in our purchase accounting. The non-GAAP adjustment to the cost of revenues is intended to include the impact of such adjustment. We believe the adjustment is useful as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business.

f) Acquisition related expenses. We excluded from the non-GAAP results the expenses which are related to the recent acquisitions. These expenses are unrelated to our ongoing operations and we do not expect them to occur in the ordinary course of business. We believe that excluding these acquisition related expenses provides more meaningful comparisons of the financial results to our historical operations and forward looking guidance and the financial results of less acquisitive peer companies.

g) Gain on business combination of an equity investment. We excluded from our non-GAAP results the gain on a minority equity investment in a private company, Avantec, which was recognized in relation to the acquisition by Omnicell of the remainder of the company. This non-cash gain is not considered by management to reflect the core cash-generating performance of the business and therefore is excluded from our non-GAAP results.

Management adjusts for the above items because management believes that, in general, these items possess one or more of the following characteristics: their magnitude and timing is largely outside of Omnicell's control; they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course; they are unusual and we do not expect them to occur in the ordinary course of business; or they are non-operational, or non-cash expenses involving stock compensation plans.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is warranted for several reasons:

1) Such non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional analytical tool for understanding Omnicell's financial performance by excluding the impact of items which may obscure trends in the core operating results of the business;

2) Since we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency and enhances investors' ability to compare our performance across financial reporting periods;

3) These non-GAAP financial measures are employed by Omnicell's management in its own evaluation of performance and are utilized in financial and operational decision making processes, such as budget planning and forecasting; and

4) These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons to the operating results of other companies in our industry, which use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP results, thus enhancing the perspective of investors who wish to utilize such comparisons in their analysis of our performance.

Set forth below are additional reasons why share-based compensation expense is excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures:

i) While share-based compensation calculated in accordance with ASC 718 constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense of Omnicell, it is not an expense that requires cash settlement by Omnicell. We therefore exclude these charges for purposes of evaluating core operating results. Thus, our non-GAAP measurements are presented exclusive of stock-based compensation expense to assist management and investors in evaluating our core operating results.

ii) We present ASC 718 share-based payment compensation expense in our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures on a pre-tax basis because the exact tax differences related to the timing and deductibility of share-based compensation, under ASC 718 are dependent upon the trading price of Omnicell's common stock and the timing and exercise by employees of their stock options. As a result of these timing and market uncertainties the tax effect related to share-based compensation expense would be inconsistent in amount and frequency and is therefore excluded from our non-GAAP results.

Our Adjusted EBITDA calculation is defined as earnings before interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash expenses, including ASC 718 stock compensation expense, as well as certain non-GAAP adjustments.

As stated above, we present non-GAAP financial measures because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Omnicell's GAAP results. In the future, we expect to incur expenses similar to certain of the non-GAAP adjustments described above and expect to continue reporting non-GAAP financial measures excluding such items. Some of the limitations in relying on non-GAAP financial measures are:

· Omnicell's stock option and stock purchase plans are important components of incentive compensation arrangements and will be reflected as expenses in Omnicell's GAAP results for the foreseeable future under ASC 718.

· Other companies, including companies in Omnicell's industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than Omnicell, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G, a detailed reconciliation between Omnicell's non-GAAP and GAAP financial results is set forth in the financial tables at the end of this press release. Investors are advised to carefully review and consider this information strictly as a supplement to the GAAP results that are contained in this press release and in Omnicell's SEC filings.
