Arcadia sees bigger quarterly loss on lower revenue

Back to TopCommentsE-mailPrint

Arcadia Resources Inc. saw its losses mount in its most recent quarter as revenue from its medical staffing service declined more than its pharmacy business grew.

The Indianapolis-based company lost $4.1 million, or 3 cents per share, in the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with a loss of $3.2 million, or 2 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago.

Revenue fell 4 percent, to $25.6 million, compared with the same quarter a year ago.

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

Earlier this year, Arcadia announced a partnership with Indianapolis-based WellPoint Inc. to provide the DailyMed service to Medicaid patients WellPoint serves in five states. The project began in Arcadia's most recent quarter in Virginia, but rolled out more slowly than anticipated because Arcadia had trouble reaching patients by phone.

Arcadia announced today it is now rolling out DailyMed to WellPoint customers in California. One of Arcadia's first DailyMed clients was the Indiana Medicaid program.

While Arcadia's pharmacy revenue grew slower than expected, it still soared 181 percent over the same quarter last year, to a total of $3.4 million. Profit margins in that business also grew to 15.1 percent, up from 11.1 percent in the previous quarter. Medical staffing revenue fell 12.5 percent, to $21.7 million.

"We remain dually focused on growth and operational improvements in our two core businesses," said Marvin R. Richardson, Arcadia's CEO, in a statement.

  1. Back in my teens/early 20s, Chicago's in Greenfield was a spot where my friends and I ate on a constant basis. Chicago's has always offered good pizza and bread sticks, but after getting married and buying a home, their prices and locations have made it so I would only get their pizza once every three years. They have expanded into McCordsville, but sadly closed the downtown Indy store years ago (this was the coolest layout for a restaurant in my opinion).

    Just recently we decided to try Chicago's at the old Greenfield location. While it was clean, they haven't updated much over the last five years or so. Still the same layout, booths, tables, etc.. I made a comment to my wife about how that place hasn't changed in years. Good to see they are doing well enough to build a newer building.
