MELVILLE, N.Y., February 20, 2020 – Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC), the world’s largest provider of health care solutions to office-based dental and medical practitioners, today reported record fourth quarter financial results from continuing operations. Results from continuing operations exclude contributions from Henry Schein’s former Animal Health business, which was spun off in February 2019 to form a new publicly traded company, Covetrus (Nasdaq: CVET).

Net sales from continuing operations for the quarter ended December 28, 2019, were $2.7 billion, an increase of 7.9% compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. The 7.9% increase included 8.9% growth in local currencies and a 1.0% decline related to foreign currency exchange. In local currencies, internally generated sales increased 5.8% and growth from acquisitions was 3.1%. Excluding sales to Covetrus under the transition services agreement entered into in connection with the Animal Health spin-off, internal sales growth in local currencies was approximately 4.9% (see Exhibit A for details of sales growth).

Net income attributable to Henry Schein, Inc. from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $330.6 million, or $2.25 per diluted share, compared with prior-year net income from continuing operations of $117.8 million, or $0.77 per diluted share. Fourth quarter 2019 results include a net gain on sale of equity investments of approximately $186.8 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, as well as a reduction in estimated restructuring costs of $1.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $143.0 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $136.2 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2018. Exhibit B provides a reconciliation of GAAP net income and diluted EPS from continuing operations to non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS from continuing operations.

“As our fourth quarter 2019 results attest, Henry Schein delivered an excellent conclusion to a transformative year in which we strategically positioned our business for continued success in the markets we serve,” said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein. “Strong revenue growth in our Medical and Technology and Value-Added Services businesses were a particular highlight, along with sales of North America Dental Equipment and International Consumable Merchandise. We continue to execute on our strategic plan and remain optimistic about the Company’s prospects in 2020 and beyond.”

Dental sales of $1.7 billion increased 2.9%, consisting of 4.2% growth in local currencies and a 1.3% decline related to foreign currency exchange. In local currencies, internally generated sales increased 2.5% and growth from acquisitions was 1.7%.

“North America dental consumable merchandise internal sales in local currencies were essentially flat in the fourth quarter, reflecting soft end-market demand from independent dental practices. Dental equipment internal sales increased by a healthy 7.2% in local currencies, primarily driven by high-tech equipment sales,” commented Mr. Bergman.

“Internationally, dental consumable merchandise internal sales in local currencies had growth of 4.4%, driven by broad-based strength across most of our business. Dental equipment internal sales in local currencies decreased by 0.8%, as we faced a difficult prior-year comparison when internal sales growth in local currencies was 7.5%. The sales decrease was also due in part to soft macroeconomic conditions in Australia,” said Mr. Bergman.

Medical sales of $788.7 million increased 15.2%, with no impact from foreign currency exchange. Internally generated sales increased 10.2% and growth from acquisitions was 5.0%, primarily driven by the contribution from North American Rescue.

“We believe our Medical business continued to gain market share, with internal sales in local currencies up double-digits in the fourth quarter,” remarked Mr. Bergman. “Our focus on providing a wide array of solutions, services, and support to a broad spectrum of health care customers has enabled the Company to grow its presence in the Medical market and positions Henry Schein well for the future.”

Technology and Value-Added Services sales from continuing operations of $137.1 million increased 20.0%, consisting of 20.3% growth in local currencies and a 0.3% decline related to foreign currency exchange. In local currencies, internally generated sales increased 9.4% and growth from acquisitions was 10.9%, primarily driven by the contribution from Lighthouse 360.

“North America Technology and Value-Added Services internal sales growth in local currencies was a strong 8.7% as the business benefited from service revenue associated with a product migration, as well as from solid financial services revenue. Internationally, Technology and Value-Added Services internal sales increased 13.4% in local currencies, led by strong financial services revenue,” said Mr. Bergman.

“Henry Schein One continues to advance its platform of delivering integrated technology to enhance dental practice management and allow dentists to focus on delivering quality patient care,” Mr. Bergman continued.

Stock Repurchase Plan

The Company repurchased approximately 2.9 million shares of its common stock during the fourth quarter at an average price of $69.05 per share, for a total of $200 million. The impact of the repurchase of shares on fourth quarter 2019 diluted EPS was immaterial.

For fiscal year 2019, the Company repurchased approximately 8.2 million shares for a total of $525 million. At fiscal year-end, Henry Schein had $275 million authorized and available for future stock repurchases.

2019 Financial Results

Net sales from continuing operations for the year ended December 28, 2019, were $10.0 billion, an increase of 6.0% compared with 2018. This consisted of 7.7% growth in local currencies and a decrease of 1.7% related to foreign currency exchange. In local currencies, internally generated sales increased 4.4% and acquisition growth was 3.3%. Excluding sales to Covetrus, internal sales growth was 3.5% in local currencies.

Net income attributable to Henry Schein, Inc. from continuing operations for 2019 was $700.7 million, or $4.69 per diluted share, an increase of 62.7% and 67.5%, respectively, compared with 2018. Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for 2019 was $523.6 million, or $3.51 per diluted share, an increase of 7.6% and 10.7%, respectively, compared with 2018. Non-GAAP results for 2019 and 2018 exclude certain items noted in Exhibit B, which provides a reconciliation of GAAP net income and diluted EPS from continuing operations to non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS from continuing operations.


2020 EPSGuidance

Henry Schein today affirmed 2020 non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance. At this time, the Company is not providing 2020 GAAP diluted EPS guidance as it is unable to provide an accurate estimate of expenses related to a planned restructuring intended to mitigate stranded costs associated with the spin-off of its Animal Health business and to drive operating efficiencies. Financial guidance is as follows:

·         2020 non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to Henry Schein, Inc. is expected to be $3.65 to $3.75, reflecting growth of 4% to 7% compared with 2019 non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations of $3.51.

·         Guidance assumes no significant supply chain disruption related to the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) for certain infection control products.

·         Guidance for 2020 non-GAAP diluted EPS attributable to Henry Schein, Inc. is for current continuing operations as well as completed or previously announced acquisitions, and does not include the impact of potential future acquisitions, if any, and restructuring expenses. Guidance also assumes foreign exchange rates that are generally consistent with current levels, and that end markets remain stable and are consistent with current market conditions.

Adjustments to Projected 2020 DilutedEPS

The Company has provided guidance for 2020 diluted EPS from continuing operations on a non-GAAP basis, as noted above. A reconciliation to the Company’s projected 2020 diluted EPS from continuing operations prepared on a GAAP basis is not provided because the Company is unable to provide an estimate of costs related to a restructuring to mitigate stranded costs and drive additional operating efficiencies and the corresponding tax effect that will be included in the Company’s 2020 diluted EPS from continuing operations prepared on a GAAP basis without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide these reconciliations is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence, the financial impact, and the periods in which the non-GAAP adjustments may be recognized. Management does not believe these items are representative of the Company’s underlying business performance. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.


Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Conference Call Webcast

The Company will hold a conference call to discuss fourth quarter and full year 2019 financial results today, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time. Individual investors are invited to listen to the conference call through Henry Schein’s website by visiting www.henryschein.com/IRwebcasts. In addition, a replay will be available beginning shortly after the call has ended.

In accordance with the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we provide the following cautionary remarks regarding important factors that, among others, could cause future results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, expectations and assumptions expressed or implied herein.  All forward-looking statements made by us are subject to risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance.  These forward-looking statements

involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance and achievements or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  These statements include EPS guidance and are generally identified by the use of such terms as "may," "could," "expect," "intend," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "anticipate," “to be,” “to make” or other comparable terms.  A full discussion of our operations and financial condition, status of litigation matters, including factors that may affect our business and future prospects, is contained in documents we have filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and will be contained in all subsequent periodic filings we make with the SEC. These documents identify in detail important risk factors that could cause our actual performance to differ materially from current expectations.

Risk factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current and historical results include, but are not limited to: effects of a highly competitive and consolidating market; increased competition by third party online commerce sites; our dependence on third parties for the manufacture and supply of our products; our dependence upon sales personnel, customers, suppliers and manufacturers; our dependence on our senior management; fluctuations in quarterly earnings; risks from expansion of customer purchasing power and multi-tiered costing structures; increases in shipping costs for our products or other service issues with our third-party shippers; general global macro-economic conditions; risks associated with currency fluctuations; risks associated with political and economic uncertainty; disruptions in financial markets; volatility of the market price of our common stock; changes in the health care industry; implementation of health care laws; failure to comply with regulatory requirements and data privacy laws; risks associated with our global operations; risks associated with the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19); risk associated with the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union; transitional challenges associated with acquisitions, dispositions and joint ventures, including the failure to achieve anticipated synergies/benefits; financial and tax risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions and joint ventures; litigation risks; new or unanticipated litigation developments and the status of litigation matters; the dependence on our continued product development, technical support and successful marketing in the technology segment; our dependence on third parties for certain technologically advanced components; risks from disruption to our information systems; cyberattacks or other privacy or data security breaches; certain provisions in our governing documents that may discourage third-party acquisitions of us; and changes in tax legislation. The order in which these factors appear should not be construed to indicate their relative importance or priority.

We caution that these factors may not be exhaustive and that many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Accordingly, any forward-looking statements contained herein should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results. We undertake no duty and have no obligation to update forward-looking statements.

Included within the press release are non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the Company’s actual results prepared under GAAP to exclude certain items.  In the schedules attached to this press release, the non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to and should be considered together with the Consolidated Statements of Income.  Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely for informational and comparative purposes and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures.
