Revenue Growth

The Pharmacy Benefit Management division has started strongly for the year 2016 and, after a successful enrolment period for its Medicare plans for 2016, it now has more than 11 million enrolees under its different plans. Also, the acquisitions of Omnicare and Target pharmacies will aid the addition of new customers to CVS. This in turn should drive improved revenue figures for Q1 2016. The cost impact of integrating these two new acquisitions shall impact the figures in the next quarters. Also, the company expects to increase its revenue by improving the existing set of offerings of CVS Pharmacy and healthcare. The company expects to increase the customer base by introducing customer adoption through apps.
