• Top Line Expansion Led by Healthy Demand in Patient Direct and Medical Distribution
• Operating Cash Flow Generation Supported $188 million in Total Debt Reduction

RICHMOND, Va. / Nov 03, 2023 / Business Wire / Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE: OMI) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Third Quarter Key Highlights:

• Consolidated revenue of $2.59 billion
• Net loss per common share of $(0.08) and adjusted net income per common share of $0.44
• $188 million in total debt pay down and $117 million reduction in net debt

“Our performance in the third quarter is another strong indication that our business strategy and execution are working, and that we are beginning to realize the benefits of the Operating Model Realignment Program. Patient Direct continues to outperform the market, demonstrating the enduring strength of our go-to-market strategies and service offerings. Our Medical Distribution division again produced mid-single digit growth and continues to win new business. While the volatility of demand and pricing for PPE appears to be diminishing, we remain cautious on the long-term trajectory. The Operating Model Realignment Program not only continued to deliver economic benefits, but also enabled us to reassess how we do business every day. We are well on our way to achieving the objectives established when we launched this initiative in the first quarter,” said Edward A. Pesicka, President & Chief Executive Officer of Owens & Minor.

Pesicka continued, “Building on the progress we made in the first half of the year, the work we’ve done in the third quarter resulted in significant cash flow, enabling us to further reduce debt and increase our financial flexibility. We continue to align our balance sheet with our corporate strategy to support further investment in high growth categories and technology.”

2023 Financial Outlook

The Company narrowed its outlook for 2023; summarized below:

• Revenue for 2023 to be in a range of $10.3 billion to $10.4 billion
• Adjusted EBITDA for 2023 to be in a range of $535 million to $555 million
• Adjusted EPS for 2023 to be in a range of $1.30 to $1.40

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 at least $30 million from the Operating Model Realignment Program
• Gross margin rate of ~20.5%
• Interest expense of $157 to $160 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 9/30/2023

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.
