C.-based Laboratory Corp. of America Holdings (LabCorp) reflects the company's position as one of only two national independents in the clinical laboratory services market, as well as its broad, industry-leading specialty-testing capabilities and history of strong cash flow generation. The ratings also take into account the company's narrow business focus and its dependence on a favorable reimbursement environment. During the past decade, the diagnostic testing industry experienced a period of rapid consolidation, driven, in part, by pricing pressure from third-party payors. LabCorp has cemented its No. 2 position through a series of acquisitions and contract wins. The acquisitions have expanded the company's national presence, improved its economies of scale, and increased its higher margin specialty</spcred:index_entry_excerpt><spcred:index_entry_primcountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primcountry><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">50540R</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">50540S</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">50540Q</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primgics xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">35102015 351020 3510 35</spcred:index_entry_primgics><spcred:index_entry_primissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Laboratory Corp. of America Holdings</spcred:index_entry_primissuer><spcred:index_entry_primissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">314930</spcred:index_entry_primissuerid><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">LH</spcred:index_entry_primticker><spcred:index_entry_reporttype xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">SUMMARY</spcred:index_entry_reporttype><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">GLOBISS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CORP</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Health</spcred:index_entry_sector><category>Credit &amp; Investment Research</category><alacra:ip>S&amp;P Credit Research</alacra:ip></item><item><link>http://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/ccbn/T1978088</link><guid isPermaLink="false">ccbn/T1978088</guid><ccbn:index_mode xmlns:ccbn="http://www.alacra.com/ccbn">norm</ccbn:index_mode><description>... - Laboratory Corporation -  IRGood morning, everyone, and welcome again to the #### UBS global life sciences conference.

I'm the rogue healthcare services analyst here at the Specialty Pharmaceutical Conference this year. Very pleased to have LabCorp of America join us today at the conference. I've basically been sitting in on a number of these presentations and I've struggled to really see how you manage the risk of a failed drug.

It's been one of our favorite names over time. Dave is one of our favorite CEOs. I think most of you are pretty familiar with the story. He's probably going to do a slightly abbreviated presentation and leave a lot of time open for the questions you have about what might be going on in the business right now. With that I'll introduce Dave King, CEO of LabCorp. ...

We have CEO David King, CFO Brad Hayes, and Senior VP of Investor Relations Eric Lindblom. As many of you know, LabCorp is the second-largest clinical lab in the United States and operates in what we believe to be a very attractive space. In our view, lab testing is becoming an increasingly important component of improving healthcare outcomes, as well as driving cost savings for payors.
