"We have the assets, we have the relationships, we have the technology tools our customers need, and we are in a growing market. With a relentless focus on execution and the core drivers of our business, we will continue to innovate and grow."

^(a) Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information provided in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations for non-GAAP financial items to the most directly comparable GAAP financial items are provided under Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this release.

Exhibit 99.1

On February 7, 2019, Covetrus became an independent company through the consummation of the spin-off by Henry Schein of its animal health business (Animal Health) and the completion of its acquisition of Vets First Choice. On February 8, 2019, Covetrus began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Accordingly, results provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) reflect the operations of Animal Health from January 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019 and Vets First Choice for the period from February 8, 2019 to September 30, 2019.

Net sales for the third quarter of 2019 were $1.0 billion, an increase of 10% compared to the third quarter of 2018. On a pro forma basis, which includes Vets First Choice in the prior year period, net sales increased 4%. Foreign exchange was a 2% headwind to pro forma net sales growth during the period.

Non-GAAP pro forma organic net sales increased 5% year-over-year. Pro forma organic net sales growth includes a full quarter of Vets First Choice in both periods, excludes the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations and M&A and normalizes for net sales adjustments for manufacturer switches from direct to agency sales in the United States, which can impact year-over-year comparisons.

In August 2019, Covetrus released results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, which failed to meet expectations, and included a downward revision to the company's full year guidance for the year ended December 31, 2019. As a result, Covetrus' market capitalization experienced a sustained decline in value that triggered an interim impairment review. Based on this analysis, Covetrus determined that the carrying value of the company’s reporting units, some of which were based on the initial valuation at the time of the spin-off and acquisition in early February, exceeded their fair market value and, as a result,

recorded a non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge totaling $939 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Net loss in the third quarter of 2019 was $906 million, or $8.09 per diluted share, which compared to net income of $16 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018. Loss before taxes for the third quarter of 2019 was $969 million versus income before taxes of $35 million in the prior period. The primary driver of the decline in net income year-over-year was a result of the impact from the goodwill impairment charge, the costs tied to the spin-off and merger including incremental amortization of intangibles, share-based compensation and interest expense associated with our debt financing completed in February 2019 and lower operating earnings in North America.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $49 million for the third quarter of 2019 versus $51 million in the prior year on a pro forma basis. Changes in foreign exchange negatively impacted pro forma adjusted EBITDA by $1 million year-over-year. Non-GAAP pro forma adjusted EBITDA excluding the impact of foreign exchange declined modestly year-over-year as a result of higher selling, general and administrative expense, which offset growth in gross profit.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $19 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $21 million in the prior year period on a pro forma basis, impacted by the same items.

Exhibit 99.1

Adjusted net income and pro forma adjusted net income for all periods presented now excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets for all historical acquisitions versus the previous presentation that excluded amortization of acquired intangible assets for only the Vets First Choice acquisition.

Segment Operating Results (Unaudited)

The company’s operations are organized and reported by geography, including North America, Europe and APAC & Emerging Markets.

North America segment net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019 of $543 million increased 13% compared to net sales from the same period of the prior year due primarily to the acquisition of Vets First Choice in February 2019. Normalizing for Vets First Choice in both periods and net sales adjustments for manufacturer switches from direct to agency sales, non-GAAP pro forma organic net sales increased 4% year-over-year.

Europe segment net sales of $384 million increased by 9% compared to net sales from the same period of the prior year. Normalizing for foreign exchange fluctuations and mergers and acquisitions, non-GAAP pro forma organic net sales increased 6% compared to the same period of the prior year.

APAC & Emerging Markets segment net sales of $94 million decreased by 1% compared to net sales from the same period of the prior year. Normalizing for foreign exchange fluctuations, non-GAAP pro forma organic net sales increased 3% compared to the same period of the prior year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Covetrus generated $33 million of net cash from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as cash flow from operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, was $3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $47 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year decline in free cash flow reflects the change in capital structure associated with the formation of Covetrus, increased transaction and transition expenses and lower operating earnings.

At quarter end, the company had $68 million in cash and cash equivalents, $1.2 billion in total debt and no outstanding borrowings on the company's $300 million revolving credit facility. Management believes Covetrus’ cash flows and access to ample liquidity provide substantial flexibility to manage the business, deleverage the balance sheet over time and invest in further innovation and other corporate needs.

2019 Guidance

Covetrus’ fiscal year 2019 financial guidance range is as follows:


•	Pro forma organic net sales growth, a non-GAAP financial metric, expected to be low single-digits and is unchanged from the company's prior outlook; and


•	Pro forma adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial metric, expected to be in a range of $190 to $196 million versus the company's prior outlook of at least $200 million.

“While our third quarter results demonstrated more stability in our business, they failed to live up to expectations and so we are taking action across our organization to drive greater focus and

Exhibit 99.1

accountability," said Christine T. Komola, executive vice president and chief financial officer. "I anticipate the actions our team has taken, along with the renewed prioritization on core business activities, will help us in delivering on our short and long-term financial commitments.”

The Company has not reconciled its non-GAAP pro forma adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net income because the reconciling items between such GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, including share-based compensation expense, restructuring costs and other special items tied to the formation of Covetrus, cannot be reasonably predicted due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty predicting the occurrence, the financial impact, and the periods in which the non-GAAP adjustments may be recognized and therefore is not available without unreasonable effort. For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, please see the section titled Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To aid investors and analysts with year-over-year comparability for the combined businesses of Animal Health and Vets First Choice, Covetrus is including certain non-GAAP pro forma financial information that combines the stand-alone Animal Health and Vets First Choice financial information as if the acquisition had taken place on December 31, 2017. These non-GAAP pro forma results include a full period of Animal Health and Vets First Choice results and assess the impact of interest, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, and other costs as if the spin-off and merger had occurred at the beginning of the period. Covetrus is also including non-GAAP adjusted results that exclude costs directly associated with the spin-off and merger, the ongoing integration process, goodwill impairment charges, and other items. Prior year non-GAAP adjusted results include allocations for direct costs and indirect costs which were attributed to the Animal Health business of Henry Schein, whereas 2019 is based on a direct cost associated with our stand-alone operations and not allocations, which are excluded in our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA presentation as the company was incurring its own costs during this period tied to building out internal corporate infrastructure.

The following tables reconcile non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Covetrus management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful additional information to investors regarding Covetrus’ results of operations as they provide another measure of Covetrus’ profitability and ability to service its debt and are considered important to financial analysts covering Covetrus’ industry.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytic tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income from operations, net income or any other measure of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Covetrus’ non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently than similarly named measures reported by other companies. In addition, using non-GAAP measures may have limited value as they exclude certain items that may have a material impact on reported financial results and cash flows. When analyzing Covetrus’ performance, it is important to evaluate each adjustment in the reconciliation tables and use adjusted measures in addition to, and not as an alternative to, GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP Pro Forma Net Sales and Segment Net Sales (Unaudited)

Covetrus delivers software, technology-enabled services and products across the globe through three reportable segments: North America, Europe, and APAC & Emerging Markets.

Pro forma organic net sales growth is a non-GAAP measure that Covetrus uses to evaluate period-over-period financial performance. We believe this non-GAAP financial metric provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and is a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business. Pro forma organic net sales growth includes a full quarter of Vets First Choice in both periods, excludes the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations and M&A and normalizes for net sales adjustments for manufacturer switches from direct to agency sales in the United States, which can impact year-over-year comparisons.

Non-GAAP EBITDA, Pro Forma EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income (Unaudited)

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and pro forma adjusted net income (loss) are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information provided in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA adjustments include share-based compensation, formation of Covetrus expenses, IT infrastructure, goodwill impairment charges, and other costs tied to integration efforts of the Animal Health and Vets First Choice businesses, along with other items such legal, accounting and regulatory, re-branding and severance. Our pro forma adjusted net income also excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets tied to the company's acquisitions and changes in fair value of legacy Vets First Choice warrants and utilizes a normalized statutory tax rate. A reconciliation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is as follows:
