Arcadia Resources Inc. saw its losses shrink in its most recent quarter as growing revenue from its pharmacy segment helped offset continued declines in its medical staffing business.

The Indianapolis-based company lost $19.2 million, or 11 cents per share, in the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, compared with a loss of $36.7 million, or 27 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago.

Revenue dipped nearly 2 percent, to $25.5 million, compared with the year-ago period.

Revenue from Arcadia’s pharmacy division grew 103.5 percent, to $4.4 million, from the same quarter a year ago, and 7.7 percent from the previous quarter.

The company is trying to grow its DailyMed pharmaceutical service, which packages dosages of prescriptions into individual packets, to make it easier for patients on numerous medications to stick to their regimens.

“We achieved a number of important milestones this year, which set the foundation for continued growth for both our businesses and enhanced profitability in our DailyMed business,” Arcadia President and CEO Marvin R. Richardson said in a prepared statement.

Revenue for Arcadia’s medical staffing services fell 12 percent, to $20.7 million, compared with the same quarter a year ago.

For fiscal 2010, Arcadia lost $31.1 million, or 19 cents per share, compared with a loss of $46.5 million, or 35 cents per share, in fiscal 2009.

Revenue in fiscal 2010 dipped 2 percent, to $104.6 million, compared with the previous fiscal year.

Last month, Arcadia announced plans for a $3.9 million expansion of its north-side headquarters and pharmacy operations, which could create as many as 930 jobs by 2013.

Arcadia said it plans to grow its corporate presence and centralize its pharmacy-fulfillment operations here, hiring managers, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, account managers and sales staff. It now has about 500 employees in Indiana and 4,000 nationwide who provide home health care services.

Shares of Arcadia are trading at 60 cents each.

  1. RKW's comments read like a modern "Chicken Little". As a Raintree resident for many years, "Yes, I'm ready for this." Matter of fact, I welcome The Farm because it's a development that compliments our town, brings new and desirable shopping & dining closer (specialty grocer, upscale shops, micro brew pub, etc), offers upscale condos for empty nesters who want to stay in Zionsville, is being planned and constructed by local, well-reputed firms and, of course, provides desirable non property tax benefits. We all knew the Pittman's were going to develop their property sooner than later. That one of the Pittman's will continue to live on the property helps assure The Farm will be everything promised. This also sets a standard for other developers as to the quality of future developments - which should keep an ugly Walmart at bay for decades. As we've no meglomaniac mayor, I seriously doubt Zionsville would ever aspire to over-priced statues or subsidized retail rents. And we already have a very nice public theater, the Zionsville Performing Arts Center, that meets our cultural needs quite nicely.

  2. Do we add (or subtract) these from the bounty we recieve from RTWFL, Daylight Savings Time, corporate tax giveaways, and the crack job IEDC is doing?? Or is Mike going to blame these on Mitch?

  3. Who makes Tater Tots? They would be a good sponsor, because $3 Million for the alleged "Greatest Spectacle In Racing" is taters. Tiny, tiny taters. But at least they are making up something of the losses accumulated over the years in this dying sport. Buttock in seat is certainly not doing it, nor eyeball on TV, as evidenced by the lack of both.

  4. We loved lakehouse and think the Arbor Village would be a great location. It is less than 2 miles from over 1000 rooftops in the 225,000 to over 1 million range. Many people could use the great fishers trail system to bike or walk there. Just an idea Scotty -- but maybe something closer to 3 Wiseman would good. The only microbrew in area is Ram (boring)

  5. True, it's an ESPN production, but ESPN is just another name for ABC Sports, or what used to be ABC Sports since ABC Sports no longer exists as a name. ESPN=ABC Sports= ESPN. ESPN is, according to Forbes "the world's most valuable media property" worth $40 billion. Despite that, they fired 400 people this week.
