Strength of Patient Direct Drove Gross Margin Expansion

Operating Model Realignment Program Remains on Track

Raised Midpoint of 2023 Guidance Based on Strong Patient Direct Performance and Profit Improvement Efforts

Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE: OMI) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Key Highlights:

Consolidated revenue of $2.5 billion in the first quarter
Net loss per common share of $(0.32) and adjusted net income per common share of $0.05 in the first quarter
$158 million of operating cash flow generated in the first quarter
$117 million in debt pay down
2023 outlook reflects strong financial performance in the Patient Direct segment, progress made in operational improvements, cost saving measures, and improved cash flow generation

“Our Patient Direct segment continues to outperform the market and once again was a significant driver of our year-over-year top-line growth and margin expansion during the quarter. As we outlined last quarter, we took the necessary steps to initiate the total company Operating Model Realignment Program and improve our overall cost structure. These initiatives are progressing well, and we are on pace to reach our adjusted operating income target of $30 million for the year. In our Products & Healthcare Services segment, we continued to experience pressure, including destocking during the quarter, however, we were pleased with our Medical Distribution division’s ability to navigate a challenging environment and produce solid results for the quarter,” said Edward A. Pesicka, President & Chief Executive Officer of Owens & Minor.

Pesicka concluded, “Our strong cash flow generation in the quarter enabled us to pay down $117 million in debt. In the quarter, we began to effectively reduce working capital and manage our costs, while investing for future growth. We will continue to take a disciplined approach to working capital management, cost management, and capital allocation. Overall, we are encouraged by our results to start the year and continue to expect our performance will be heavily weighted toward the second half of 2023.”

2023 Financial Outlook

The Company’s revised its outlook for 2023; summarized below:

Revenue for 2023 to be in a range of $10.2 billion to $10.6 billion

Adjusted EBITDA for 2023 to be in a range of $540 million to $590 million

Adjusted EPS for 2023 to be in a range of $1.30 to $1.65

The Company’s outlook for 2023 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 2023 financial guidance include:

Adjusted operating income benefit of $30 million from the Operating Model Realignment Program
Gross margin rate of ~20.5%
Interest expense of $170 to $175 million
Adjusted effective tax rate of 27% to 28%
Diluted weighted average shares of ~77.5 million
Capital expenditures of $200 to $220 million
Stable to improving commodity prices
FX rates as of 3/31/2023

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. 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

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.
