Top-Line Growth Driven by Continued Solid Demand in Patient Direct and Medical Distribution

Total Debt Reduction of Nearly $200 Million in the Third Quarter

Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE: OMI) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Key Highlights:

“Our third quarter results demonstrated our ability to deliver on our commitments both near-term as well as on our strategic initiatives. Our Patient Direct segment continues to perform well in the growing home-based care space while we continue investing to support long-term profitable growth. In our Products & Healthcare Services segment, we continue to see solid top-line results, especially within our Medical Distribution division supported by recent wins and deepened relationships with our existing customers,” said Edward A. Pesicka, President & Chief Executive Officer of Owens & Minor.

Pesicka concluded, “Looking ahead we are confident in our ability to show good sequential growth and cash flow from the third to fourth quarter which positions us well as we enter 2025. Each of the segments should benefit from seasonality and investments of the last several quarters as we finish 2024 and look to the future.”

⁽¹⁾ Reconciliations of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release and their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables below.

Results and Business Highlights

• Consolidated revenue of $2.7 billion in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 5% compared to the third quarter of 2023
  • Patient Direct revenue of $687 million, up 6% compared to the third quarter of 2023, driven by strength in a number of categories led by diabetes and sleep supplies

2024 Financial Outlook

The Company’s recently revised financial guidance; summarized below:

• Revenue for 2024 to be in a range of $10.6 billion to $10.8 billion
• Adjusted EBITDA for 2024 to be in a range of $540 million to $550 million
• Adjusted EPS for 2024 to be in a range of $1.45 to $1.55

The Company’s outlook for 2024 contains assumptions, including current expectations regarding the impact of general economic conditions, including inflation, and the continuation of pressure on pricing and demand in our Products & Healthcare Services segment. Key assumptions supporting the Company’s 2024 financial guidance include:

• Gross margin rate of 20.5% to 21.0%
• Interest expense of $142 to $144 million
• Adjusted effective tax rate of 27.5% to 28.5%
• Diluted weighted average shares of ~78.5 million
• Capital expenditures of $225 to $235 million
• Stable commodity prices
• FX rates as of 12/31/2023

Although the Company does provide guidance for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS (which are non-GAAP financial measures), it is not able to forecast the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. Certain elements of the composition of the GAAP amounts are not predictable, making it impracticable for the Company to forecast. Such elements include, but are not limited to, restructuring and acquisition charges, which could have a significant and unpredictable impact on our GAAP results. As a result, no GAAP guidance or reconciliation of the Company’s adjusted EBITDA guidance or adjusted EPS guidance is provided. The outlook is based on certain assumptions that are subject to the risk factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

GAAP/Non-GAAP Reconciliations (unaudited), continued

(dollars in thousands)

The following tables provide reconciliations of net loss and total debt to non-GAAP measures used by management.

The following items have been excluded in our non-GAAP financial measures:

⁽¹⁾ Acquisition-related charges and intangible amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes $6.5 million and $10.2 million of acquisition-related costs related to the expected acquisition of Rotech, which consisted primarily of legal and professional fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $9.4 million and $11.9 million of acquisition-related costs, consisting of costs primarily related to the acquisition of Apria, Inc., as well as amortization of intangible assets established during acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Acquisition-related charges consist primarily of one-time costs related to acquisitions, including transaction costs necessary to consummate acquisitions, which consist of investment banking advisory fees and legal fees, director and officer tail insurance expense, as well as transition costs, such as severance and retention bonuses, information technology (IT) integration costs and professional fees. These amounts are highly dependent on the size and frequency of acquisitions and are being excluded to allow for a more consistent comparison with forecasted, current and historical results.

⁽²⁾ During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 exit and realignment charges, net were $28.9 million and $85.5 million. These charges primarily related to our (1) Operating Model Realignment Program of $19.5 million and $75.9 million, including professional fees, severance, and other costs to streamline functions and processes, (2) costs related to IT strategic initiatives such as converting certain divisions to common IT systems of $7.6 million and $14.3 million and (3) other costs associated with strategic initiatives of $1.8 million and $2.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Exit and realignment charges, net also included a $7.4 million gain on the sale of our corporate headquarters for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 exit and realignment charges, net were $30.2 million and $74.8 million. These charges primarily related to our (1) Operating Model Realignment Program of $24.5 million and $63.9 million, including professional fees, severance and other costs to streamline functions and processes, (2) IT restructuring charges such as converting to common IT systems of $3.3 million and $6.7 million and, (3) other costs associated with strategic initiatives of $2.4 million and $4.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. These costs are not normal recurring, cash operating expenses necessary for the Company to operate its business on an ongoing basis.

⁽³⁾ Litigation and related charges includes settlement costs and related charges of legal matters within our Apria division. These costs do not occur in the ordinary course of our business, are non-recurring/infrequent and are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount.

⁽⁴⁾ For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, other includes interest costs and net actuarial losses related to our frozen noncontributory, unfunded retirement plan for certain retirees in the United States (U.S.).

⁽⁵⁾ These charges have been tax effected by determining the income tax rate depending on the amount of charges incurred in different tax jurisdictions and the deductibility of those charges for income tax purposes.

⁽⁶⁾ One-time income tax charge, recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2024, excluding the impact of incremental interest, relates to a recent decision associated with the Notice of Proposed Adjustments received in 2020 and 2021. The matter at hand, as discussed in previously filed SEC documents, is related to past transfer pricing methodology which is no longer employed. We believe the matter will be concluded without further impact to our financial results.

⁽⁷⁾ Other depreciation and amortization relates to property and equipment and capitalized computer software, excluding such amounts captured within exit and realignment charges, net or acquisition-related charges.

⁽⁸⁾ Stock compensation includes share-based compensation expense related to our share-based compensation plans, excluding such amounts captured within exit and realignment charges, net or acquisition-related charges.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In general, the measures exclude items and charges that (i) management does not believe reflect Owens & Minor, Inc.’s (the Company) core business and relate more to strategic, multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company’s performance, evaluate the balance sheet, engage in financial and operational planning and determine incentive compensation.

Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on its financial and operating results and in comparing the Company’s performance to that of its competitors. However, the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth above should be carefully evaluated.
