Cash flow from operations was $41 million, Express Scripts said. The company said $50 million of positive cash flow occurred in the fourth quarter of 2005 instead of the first quarter of 2006, because of "the unique timing of collections and disbursements surrounding the end of 2005." Cash flows were additionally reduced "due to the working capital impact from lower adjusted claims and a higher payout of management incentive compensation due to very positive 2005 financial results," the company said. "Express Scripts still expects that cash flow from operations will be in the $625 to $700 million range for 2006." The company said it expects to make $3.10 to $3.22 for the year, in line with the $3.18 Thomson estimate. Late Wednesday, Express Scripts fell $4.06 to $80.20.
