Brown Capital Management made the following comment about Omnicell, Inc. (NASDAQ:OMCL) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

Omnicell, Inc. (NASDAQ:OMCL) is a leading provider of automated pharmacy and business-analytics software solutions for hospitals, long-term care centers and retail pharmacies. According to the FDA, medication errors cause at least one death every day and injure 1.3 million people annually in the U.S. Furthermore, an estimated 11% of all hospital admissions are related to medication nonadherence. Omnicell’s products and services tackle these challenges through on-site devices and cloud-based solutions to deliver virtually zero dispensing errors in central pharmacies, 66% cost reductions in IV-drug compounding, 90% medication adherence and 2-10% reductions in direct drug costs in hospitals. The market has responded positively to Omnicell’s offerings, as it does business with approximately 50% of U.S. hospitals and 80% of U.S. retail pharmacies.

During the quarter, the company hosted an investor day where it highlighted that previously cited supply-chain and inflation issues are likely to temper margin improvement through 2025. Shares sold off on the news. Nevertheless, we like the potential for product cross-sells and view the margin headwinds as more of a temporary rather than a structural phenomenon. Despite the ubiquity of Omnicell’s products, many customers only use a handful of its offerings. Its competitors do not offer a similar array of complementary products. Relative to an estimated $1.4 billion of sales in 2022, we believe its competitive position allows Omnicell to generate many more years of attractive revenue and profit growth as it pursues a $90-billion total addressable market.”
