Owens & Minor Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Top-line Growth Driven by Strong Performance in Patient Direct
Operating Model Realignment Program Remains on Track
Operating Cash Flow of $313 Million, Inclusive of $115 Million in Receivables Sales

RICHMOND, VA – August 4, 2023 – Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE: OMI) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter Key Highlights:
Consolidated revenue of $2.56 billion
Net loss per common share of $(0.37) and adjusted net income per common share of $0.18
$49.3 million in debt pay down and $269 million reduction in net debt

“The second quarter of 2023 shows a continuation of our Patient Direct segment’s exceptional performance, with another quarter of double-digit growth and strength across the major categories that we serve. Our Products and Healthcare Services segment demonstrated resilience during the quarter with sales growth in the Medical Distribution division, but the segment experienced continued revenue headwinds in our higher margin Global Products division. In addition, the progress we have made in the Operating Model Realignment Program is encouraging, and we are beginning to see financial benefits from the work already completed,” said Edward A. Pesicka, President & Chief Executive Officer of Owens & Minor.

Pesicka concluded, “The fluid acute care market continues to impact our Surgical & Infection Prevention (S&IP) products within the Product and Healthcare Services segment, and as a result we remain cautious for the remainder of the year. The continued strength of the Patient Direct segment, combined with overall strong operating cash flow provides flexibility to invest and strengthen our balance sheet.”

2023 Financial Outlook

The Company revised its outlook for 2023; summarized below:

Revenue for 2023 to be in a range of $10.2 billion to $10.5 billion

Adjusted EBITDA for 2023 to be in a range of $535 million to $575 million

Adjusted EPS for 2023 to be in a range of $1.30 to $1.55

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 ~20.3%
Interest expense of $160 to $165 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 commodity prices
FX rates as of 6/30/2023

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.

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.
