THIRD QUARTER 2018 SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION 8-K FURNISHED OCTOBER 24, 2018
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT This presentation contains forward-looking statements including but not limited to statements with respect to estimated 2018 guidance and the related assumptions, the impact of various factors on operating and financial results, expected savings and synergies (including from the LaunchPad initiative and as a result of acquisitions), and the opportunities for future growth. This presentation contains forward-looking statements which are subject to change based on various important factors, including without limitation, competitive actions and other unforeseen changes and general uncertainties in the marketplace, changes in government regulations, including health care reform, customer purchasing decisions, including changes in payer regulations or policies, other adverse actions of governmental and third-party payers, changes in testing guidelines or recommendations, adverse results in material litigation matters, the impact of changes in tax laws and regulations, failure to maintain or develop customer relationships, our ability to develop or acquire new products and adapt to technological changes, failures in information technology systems or data security, adverse weather conditions, challenges in implementing business process changes, employee relations, and the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on international operations. Actual results could differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements. Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings (the “Company”) has no obligation to provide any updates to these forward-looking statements even if its expectations change. Further information on potential factors, risks and uncertainties that could affect the operating and financial results of the Company is included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and subsequent Forms 10-Q, including in each case under the heading risk factors, and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The information in this presentation should be read in conjunction with a review of the Company’s filings with the SEC including information in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and subsequent Forms 10-Q, under the heading MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. 1
USE OF ADJUSTED MEASURES AND ADOPTION OF ASC 606 The Company has provided in this presentation “adjusted” financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and certain segment information. The Company believes these adjusted measures are useful to investors as a supplement to, but not as a substitute for, GAAP measures, in evaluating the Company’s operational performance. The Company further believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors in evaluating operating results and trends, and growth and shareholder returns, as well as in comparing the Company’s financial results with the financial results of other companies. However, the Company notes that these adjusted measures may be different from and not directly comparable to the measures presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are included in the tables accompanying this presentation. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the FASB-issued converged standard on revenue recognition (ASC 606), using the full retrospective method. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial results in 2017 and comparisons to financial results in 2017 have been restated in this presentation as if the Company had adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2017. This accounting change affects the Company’s Diagnostics and Drug Development businesses differently; for the enterprise, the accounting change increases revenue, lowers earnings, and has no impact on cash flow. 2
THIRD QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS (1) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) Restated for ASC 606 and ASU 2017-17 3Q18 3Q17 % Change Revenue $2,831.3 $2,621.4 8.0% (5) Adjusted Operating Income (2) (3) $429.2 $431.9 (0.6%) Adjusted Operating Margin 15.2% 16.5% (130 bps) Adjusted EPS (2) (3) $2.74 $2.37 15.6% Operating Cash Flow (4) $251.9 $350.5 (28.1%) Less: Capital Expenditures ($97.9) ($75.3) (30.0%) Free Cash Flow $154.0 $275.2 (44.0%) (1) The table presented above reflects the application of ASU 2017-17 for all periods presented. This application increased LabCorp Diagnostics adjusted operating income in the third quarter of 2017 by $0.5 million and reduced Covance Drug Development adjusted operating income by $1.2 million. These reclassifications have no impact on the Company's net earnings or its EPS. (2) Adjusted operating income and adjusted EPS exclude amortization, restructuring charges and special items, including costs related to the ransomware attack, acquisition-related costs, and LaunchPad system implementation costs. (3) See Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures on slides 18 – 22. (4) Operating cash flow in 2017 has been reduced by $0.7 million as the result of implementation of ASU 2016-18. This amount represents the amount of historical payments made on the Company’s zero-coupon subordinated notes deemed to be accreted interest. In addition, operating cash flow increased by $45.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and $0.3 million and $46.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 for the reclassification of tax payments for net share settlements relating to employee stock vesting from operating activities to financing activities. (5) The increase in revenue was due to growth from acquisitions of 6.5%, organic growth (total revenue less revenue from acquisitions for the first twelve months after the close of each acquisition) of 2.8%, partially offset by the negative impact from the dispositi on of businesses of 1.1%, and unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately 30 basis points. 3
YEAR-TO-DATE CONSOLIDATED RESULTS (1) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) Restated for ASC 606 and ASU 2017-17 Nine Months Nine Months Ended 9/30/18 Ended 9/30/17 % Change Revenue $8,545.9 $7,563.3 13.0% (5) Adjusted Operating Income (2) (3) $1,328.4 $1,239.8 7.2% Adjusted Operating Margin 15.5% 16.4% (90 bps) Adjusted EPS (2) (3) $8.50 $6.93 22.8% Operating Cash Flow (4) $819.0 $933.1 (12.2%) Less: Capital Expenditures ($257.6) ($216.8) (18.8%) Free Cash Flow $561.4 $716.3 (21.6%) (1) The table presented above reflects the application of ASU 2017-17 for all periods presented. This application increased LabCorp Diagnostics adjusted operating income in the first nine months of 2017 by $1.8 million and reduced Covance Drug Development adjusted operating income by $3.5 million. These reclassifications have no impact on the Company's net earnings or its EPS. (2) Adjusted operating income and adjusted EPS exclude amortization, restructuring charges and special items, including costs related to the ransomware attack, acquisition-related costs, and LaunchPad system implementation costs. (3) See Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures on slides 18 – 22. (4) Operating cash flow in 2017 has been reduced by $8.7 million as the result of implementation of ASU 2016-18. This amount represents the amount of historical payments made on the Company’s zero-coupon subordinated notes deemed to be accreted interest. In addition, operating cash flow increased by $45.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and $0.3 million and $46.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 for the reclassification of tax payments for net share settlements relating to employee stock vesting from operating activities to financing activities. (5) The increase in revenue was due to growth from acquisitions of 10.0%, organic growth (total revenue less revenue from acquisitions for the first twelve months after the close of each acquisition) of 2.7%, and the benefit from foreign currency translation of approximately 60 basis points, partially offset by the negative impact from the disposition of businesses of 0.4%. 4

In addition, the table presented above reflects the application of ASU 2017-17 (presentation of net periodic pension cost) for all periods presented. This application increased LabCorp Diagnostics adjusted operating income in the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 by $0.5 million and reduced Covance Drug Development adjusted operating income during the same periods by $1.2 million. These reclassifications have no impact on the Company's net earnings or earnings per share. (2) Covance Drug Development’s results exclude the impact from the wind-down of operations relating to a committed minimum volume contract that expired on October 31, 2015. (3) Adjusted operating income excludes amortization, restructuring charges and special items. (4) See Notes to Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures on slides 18 - 22. 5

(2) Presented on a GAAP basis. (3) The Company temporarily took certain IT systems offline due to a ransomware attack that occurred in July, which lowered the Company’s revenue and operating income. The estimated loss in revenue and decline in operating income due to the attack was $9.8M and $23.2M, respectively. The Company’s operating income was negatively impacted by the estimated loss in revenue, higher labor expense incurred to expedite processing of the built-up backlog, and the discrete expenses related to recovery efforts, including directly-identifiable overtime, and consultant and contractor expenses, partially offset by an estimated reduction in expense that would have supported the lost revenue. The discrete expenses related to recovery efforts of $12.6M were classified as special charges and were excluded from adjusted operating income. As a result, the estimated decline in adjusted operating income was $10.6M ($23.2M less $12.6M). These financial metrics do not include any benefit from insurance recovery, which the Company is pursuing. (4) The estimated loss in revenue and decline in operating income due to Hurricane Florence was $3.8M and $2.5M, respectively. (5) Adjusted operating income excludes amortization, restructuring and special items. (6) See reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures on slides 18-22. 13
2017 QUARTERLY SEGMENT FINANCIAL RESULTS RESTATED FOR ASC 606 AND ASU 2017-17 (1) Three Months Ended Three Months Ended Three Months Ended Three Months Ended Twelve Months Ended (Dollars in millions, except per share data) March 31, 2017 June 30, 2017 September 30, 2017 December 31, 2017 December 31, 2017 LabCorp Diagnostics (2) Revenues $ 1,639.7 $ 1,721.1 $ 1,754.7 $ 1,742.7 $ 6,858.2 Adjusted Operating Income$ 341.8 $ 375.5 $ 374.3 $ 357.0 $ 1,448.6 Adjusted Operating Margin 20.8% 21.8% 21.3% 20.5% 21.1% Covance Drug Development (3) Revenues $ 774.2 $ 807.5 $ 867.1 $ 1,002.8 $ 3,451.6 Adjusted Operating Income $ 68.1 $ 88.5 $ 93.8 $ 110.9 $ 361.3 Adjusted Operating Margin 8.8% 11.0% 10.8% 11.1% 10.5% Consolidated (2) (3) Revenues $ 2,413.7 $ 2,528.2 $ 2,621.4 $ 2,744.7 $ 10,308.0 Adjusted Segment Operating Income$ 409.9 $ 464.0 $ 468.1 $ 467.9 $ 1,809.9 Unallocated corporate expense$ (33.2) $ (32.9) $ (36.2) $ (35.2) $ (137.5) Consolidated Adjusted Operating Income$ 376.7 $ 431.1 $ 431.9 $ 432.7 $ 1,672.4 Adjusted Operating Margin 15.6% 17.1% 16.5% 15.8% 16.2% Adjusted EPS (4) $ 2.13 $ 2.43 $ 2.37 $ 2.27 $ 9.20 (1) The table presented above reflects the application of ASU 2017-17 for all periods presented. (2) In LabCorp Diagnostics, the impact of ASC 606 reduced revenue and increased margins, as bad debt is treated as a reduction in revenue rather than selling, general and administrative expense. This accounting change had no impact on adjusted operating income or cash flow. (3) In Covance Drug Development, the impact of ASC 606 increased backlog, revenue and cost of revenue due to the inclusion of investigator fees and other pass-through expenses in all categories. In addition, the inclusion of investigator fees and other pass-through expenses changes the underlying percentage of completion calculation used to recognize revenue. As a result, the restated financials for 2017 reflect lower operating margins and a deferral of previously recognized earnings. This accounting change had no impact on cash flow. (4) In its original calculation of the restated Adjusted EPS, the Company inadvertently used an incorrect tax rate, which resulted in an overstatement of the restated Adjusted EPS of $0.04 and $0.05 for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2017. 14
