Our Take
Omnicell’s fourth-quarter 2021 revenues met the Zacks Consensus Estimate and increased year over year. The top line was driven by growth across the company’s operating segments. The year-over-year adjusted EPS growth buoys optimism. The company continued to witness robust demand for Omnicell medication management and adherence automation solutions during the quarter. The significant revenue contributions from the company’s acquisition of FDS Amplicare appear promising. The company’s guidance for 2022 reflects strong growth projections over 2021, raising investors’ confidence.
However, the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the fourth quarter. The decline in short-term cash level given financing activities related to recently completed acquisitions of Reset and MarkeTouch do not bode well. Contraction of both margins is another downside.
