Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Henry Schein, Inc., and all of our
controlled subsidiaries and VIE (“we”, “us” and “our”). All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated
in consolidation. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates for which we have the ability to influence the operating
or financial decisions are accounted for under the equity method. Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications, individually and in the
aggregate, did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows.
Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024 and with the information contained in our other publicly-
available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations and
financial position for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 29, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 27, 2025.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by us that affect, among
other things, our goodwill, long-lived asset and definite-lived intangible asset valuation; inventory valuation; equity
investment valuation; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of deferred income taxes and income
tax contingencies; the allowance for credit losses; hedging activity; supplier rebates; measurement of compensation
cost for certain share-based performance awards and cash bonus plans; and pension plan assumptions.
The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the VIE. We are deemed to
be the primary beneficiary of the VIE when we have the power to direct activities that most significantly affect its
economic performance and have the obligation to absorb the majority of its losses or the right to receive benefits
that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we
consider factors such as ownership interest, debt investments, management representation, authority to control
decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of each party. For this VIE, related to our U.S. trade
accounts receivable securitization as discussed in
,
the trade accounts receivable transferred to the
VIE are pledged as collateral to the related debt. The VIE’s creditors have recourse to us for losses on these trade
accounts receivable. At March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, certain trade accounts receivable that can only be
used to settle obligations of this VIE were $
VIE where the creditors have recourse to us were $

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies during the three months ended March
29, 2025, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-
K for the year ended December 28, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2024-03, “
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure
(Subtopic 220-40)
:
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
,” which requires additional disclosure about the
specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The
amendments in this ASU do not change or remove current expense disclosure requirements but affect where this
information appears in the notes to financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early
adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently
evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax
Disclosures
,” which requires public business entities to disclose additional information in specified categories with
respect to the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state and foreign income taxes.
It also requires greater detail about individual reconciling items in the rate reconciliation to the extent the impact of
those items exceeds a specified threshold. In addition to new disclosures associated with the rate reconciliation, the
ASU requires information pertaining to taxes paid (net of refunds received) to be disaggregated for federal, state,
and foreign taxes and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions to the extent the related amounts exceed a
quantitative threshold. The ASU also describes items that need to be disaggregated based on their nature, which is
determined by reference to the item’s fundamental or essential characteristics, such as the transaction or event that
triggered the establishment of the reconciling item and the activity with which the reconciling item is associated.
The ASU eliminates the historic requirement that entities disclose information concerning unrecognized tax
benefits having a reasonable possibility of significantly increasing or decreasing in the 12 months following the
reporting date. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently
evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 – Cyber Incident
In October 2023 Henry Schein experienced a cyber incident that primarily affected the operations of our North
American and European dental and medical distribution businesses. Henry Schein One, our practice management
software, revenue cycle management and patient relationship management solutions business, was not affected, and
our manufacturing businesses were mostly unaffected. On November 22, 2023, we experienced a disruption of our
ecommerce platform and related applications, which was remediated.
With respect to the October 2023 cyber incident, we have a $
retention. During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we did
t receive any insurance proceeds. During the
year ended December 28, 2024, we received insurance proceeds of $
months ended March 29, 2025 we received insurance proceeds of $
remaining insurance recovery of losses related to the cyber incident. During the three months ended March 29,
2025 and March 30, 2024, we incurred
incident, mostly consisting of professional fees. The expenses and insurance recoveries related to the cyber
incident are included in the selling, general and administrative line in our condensed consolidated statements of
income.

Note 5
Segment Data
During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, we revised our reportable segments to align
with how the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer manages the business, assesses performance and allocates
resources. Our revised reportable segments now consist of: (i) Global Distribution and Value -Added Services; (ii)
Global Specialty Products; and (iii) Global Technology. These segments offer different products and services to
the same customer base. All prior comparative segment information has been recast to reflect our new segment
structure.
We aggregate operating segments into these reportable segments based on economic similarities, the nature of their
products, customer base, and methods of distribution.
Global Distribution and Value-Added Services includes distribution to the global dental and medical markets of
national brand and corporate brand merchandise, as well as equipment and related technical services. This segment
also includes value-added services such as financial services, continuing education services, consulting and other
services. This segment also markets and sells under our own corporate brand, a portfolio of cost-effective, high-
quality consumable merchandise. Global Specialty Products includes manufacturing, marketing and sales of dental
implant and biomaterial products; and endodontic, orthodontic and orthopedic products and other health care-
related products and services. Global Technology includes development and distribution of practice management
software, e-services, and other products, which are distributed to health care providers.
Our organizational structure also includes Corporate, which consists primarily of income and expenses associated
with support functions and projects.
Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM uses
adjusted operating income as the profitability metric for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources
to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. Adjusted operating income provides a measure of our
underlying segment results that is in line with our approach to risk and performance management. We define
adjusted operating income as operating income adjusted to exclude (a) direct cybersecurity costs and related
insurance recovery proceeds, (b) amortization of acquisition intangibles, (c) organizational restructuring expenses,
(d) impairment of intangible assets, (e) changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and (f) costs associated
with shareholder advisory matters. These adjustments are either: (i) non-cash or non-recurring in nature; (ii) not
allocable or controlled by the segment; or (iii) not tied to the operational performance of the segment. Assets by
segment are not a measure used to assess the performance of the Company by CODM and thus are not reported in
our disclosures.

Business Acquisitions
Our acquisition strategy is focused on investments in companies that add new customers and sales teams, increase
our geographic footprint (whether entering a new country, such as emerging markets, or building scale where we
have already invested in businesses), and finally, those that enable us to access new products and technologies.
2025 Acquisitions
During the three months ended March 29, 2025, we acquired companies within the Global Distribution and Value-
Added Services segment. We acquired a
% interest in these companies. Total consideration for these
acquisitions was $
payable of $
million of goodwill and $
relationships and lists of $
million. Weighted average useful lives for these acquired intangible assets were
respectively.
The accounting for acquisitions in the three months ended March 29, 2025 has not been completed in several areas,
including, but not limited to, pending assessment of certain assets and liabilities.
Goodwill is a result of the synergies and cross-selling opportunities that these acquisitions are expected to provide
for us, as well as the expected growth potential. The majority of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax
purposes.
The impact of these acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, was not considered material to our condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Pro forma financial information since the acquisition date has not been presented because the impact of these
acquisitions was immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
2024 Acquisitions
Acquisition of TriMed
On April 1, 2024, we acquired a
% voting equity interest in TriMed Inc. (“TriMed”), a global developer of
solutions for the orthopedic treatment of lower and upper extremities, headquartered in California, for consideration
of $
December 28, 2024, we completed the accounting for this acquisition.

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between
(1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable
inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best
information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
• Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the
measurement date.
• Level 2— Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted
prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by
observable market data by correlation or other means.
• Level 3— Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.
The following section describes the fair values of our financial instruments and the methodologies that we used to
measure their fair values.
Investments and notes receivable
There are no quoted market prices available for investments in unconsolidated affiliates and notes receivable.
Certain of our notes receivable contain variable interest rates. We believe the carrying amounts of the notes
receivable are a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the interest rates in the applicable markets. Our notes
receivable fair value is based on Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.
Debt
The fair value of our debt (including bank credit lines, current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt) is
based on Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, and as of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024 was
estimated at $
value of our debt include market conditions, such as interest rates and credit spreads.
Derivative contracts
Derivative contracts are valued using quoted market prices and significant other observable inputs. Our derivative
instruments primarily include foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, and total return swaps.
The fair values for the majority of our foreign currency derivative contracts are obtained by comparing our contract
rate to a published forward price of the underlying market rates, which are based on market rates for comparable
transactions that are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the interest rate swap, which is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, is determined
by comparing our contract rate to a forward market rate as of the valuation date.
HENRY SCHEIN, INC.

The fair value of total return swaps is determined by valuing the underlying exchange traded funds of the swap
using market-on-close pricing by industry providers as of the valuation date that are classified within Level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests
The values for redeemable noncontrolling interests are based on recent transactions and/or implied multiples of
earnings that are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Intangible Assets
Assets measured on a non-recurring basis at fair value include intangibles. Inputs for measuring intangibles are
classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
Defined Benefit Plans
Assets of our defined benefit plans are measured on a recurring basis and are classified as Level 1 within the fair
value hierarchy.
Contingent Consideration
We estimate the fair value of contingent consideration payments as part of the acquisition price and record the
estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. For
transactions accounted for as business combinations, subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of contingent
consideration payments are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated
statements of income
.
For transactions involving changes in our ownership in
subsidiaries without a change in our control, subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of contingent
consideration payments are recognized in additional paid-in capital in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
During the three months ended March 29, 2025, we recognized contingent consideration related to the acquisition
of noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary of $
We measure contingent consideration at the fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs
classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We use various valuation techniques, including the Monte Carlo
simulation and probability-weighted scenarios, to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities
on the acquisition date and at each reporting period. Our fair value measurement inputs include expected operating
performance, discount and risk-free rates, and credit spread.
The components of the change in the fair value of contingent consideration for the three months ended March 29,
2025 and March 30, 2024 are presented in the following table:

Note 9 – Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 29, 2025, our effective tax rate was
% compared to

foreign income taxes and interest expense.
The Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) issued technical and administrative
guidance on Pillar Two rules in December 2021, which provides for a global minimum tax rate on the earnings of
large multinational businesses on a country-by-country basis. Effective January 1, 2024, the minimum global tax
rate is 15% for various jurisdictions pursuant to the Pillar Two rules. Future tax reform resulting from these
developments may result in changes to long-standing tax principles, which may adversely impact our effective tax
rate going forward or result in higher cash tax liabilities. As of March 29, 2025, the impact of the Pillar Two rules
to our financial statements was immaterial.

Note 10 – Plans of Restructuring
On August 6, 2024, we committed to a new restructuring plan (the “2024 Plan”) to integrate recent acquisitions,
right-size operations and further increase efficiencies. During the three months ended March 29, 2025, we recorded

Note 11 – Legal Proceedings
Henry Schein, Inc. has been named as a defendant in multiple opioid related lawsuits (currently less than one-
hundred (
); one or more of Henry Schein, Inc.’s subsidiaries is also named as a defendant in a number of those
cases). Generally, the lawsuits allege that the manufacturers of prescription opioid drugs engaged in a false
advertising campaign to expand the market for such drugs and their own market share and that the entities in the
supply chain (including Henry Schein, Inc. and its subsidiaries) reaped financial rewards by refusing or otherwise
failing to monitor appropriately and restrict the improper distribution of those drugs. These actions consist of some
that have been consolidated within the MultiDistrict Litigation (“MDL”) proceeding In Re National Prescription
Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804; Case No. 17-md-2804) and are currently stayed, and others which remain
pending in state courts and are proceeding independently and outside of the MDL. On March 19, 2025, the court
granted our motion to dismiss the purported class action filed by San Miguel Hospital Corporation d/b/a Alta Vista
Regional Hospital, et al. in the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico and dismissed all claims
against Henry Schein with prejudice. Plaintiff has filed a motion to amend the judgment and for leave to file a
second amended complaint, which is pending.
allegedly exposed to opioids in utero have been voluntarily dismissed. At this time, the following case is set for
trial: the action filed by Florida Health Sciences Center, Inc. (and
other hospitals located throughout the State of
Florida) in Florida state court, which is currently scheduled for a jury trial in September 2025. Of Henry Schein’s
2024 net sales of approximately $
four
-tenths of 1
percent. Opioids represent a negligible part of our business. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against
these actions.
From time to time, we may become a party to other legal proceedings, including, without limitation, product
liability claims, employment matters, commercial disputes, governmental inquiries and investigations (which may
in some cases involve our entering into settlement arrangements or consent decrees), and other matters arising out
of the ordinary course of our business. While the results of any legal proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty,
in our opinion none of these other pending matters are currently anticipated to have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
As of March 29, 2025, we had accrued our best estimate of potential losses relating to claims that were probable to
result in liability and for which we were able to reasonably estimate a loss. This accrued amount, as well as related
expenses, was not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our method for
determining estimated losses considers currently available facts, presently enacted laws and regulations and other
factors, including probable recoveries from third parties.

Note 12 – Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based awards are provided to certain employees under our 2024 Stock Incentive Plan (formerly known as our
2020 Stock Incentive Plan) and to non-employee directors under our 2023 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive
Plan (together, the “Plans”). The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
(the “Compensation Committee”). Historically, equity-based awards to our employees have been granted solely in
the form of time-based and performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with the exception of our 2021 plan
year in which non-qualified stock options were issued in place of performance-based RSUs and in 2022, when we
granted time-based and performance-based RSUs, as well as non-qualified stock options.
Starting with our 2023 plan year, we returned to granting our employees equity-based awards solely in the form of
time-based RSUs (which vest solely based on the recipient’s continued service over time) and performance-based
RSUs (which vest based on achieving specified performance measurements and the recipient’s continued service
over time). Our non-employee directors receive equity-based awards solely in the form of time-based RSUs.
Starting with our 2025 plan year, we began granting only time-based RSU awards to our eligible director level
employees. Our director level time-based RSU awards will vest
% on the third anniversary of the grant date with
the remaining
% vesting on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. Stock-based awards issued in the 2025 plan
year to our eligible vice-presidents will be allocated
% to time-based RSU awards and
% to performance-
based RSU awards. Our vice-president level time-based awards will vest
% on the third anniversary of the grant
date with the remaining
% vesting on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. Our vice-president level
performance-based awards will vest based on achieving specified performance measurements and the recipient’s
continued service over time, primarily with
three-year
RSUs are stock-based awards granted to recipients with specified vesting provisions. In the case of RSUs, common
stock is delivered on or following satisfaction of vesting conditions. We issue RSUs to employees that primarily
vest (i) solely based on the recipient’s continued service over time, primarily with
four
-year cliff vesting for RSU
awards granted prior to 2025 and with vesting upon third and forth anniversary of the grant date for RSU awards
granted in 2025 and/or (ii) based on achieving specified performance measurements and the recipient’s continued
service over time, primarily with
three
-year cliff vesting. RSUs granted to our non-employee directors primarily
include
-month cliff vesting. For the performance-based RSUs and the time-based RSUs with cliff vesting
(issued in 2022-2024 plan years), we recognize the cost as compensation expense on a straight-line basis. For the
time-based RSUs with graded vesting (issued in the 2025 plan year), we recognize the cost as compensation
expense on an accelerated basis.
For all RSUs, we estimate the fair value based on our closing stock price on the grant date. With respect to
performance-based RSUs, the number of shares that ultimately vest and are received by the recipient is based upon
our performance as measured against specified targets over a specified period, as determined by the Compensation
Committee. Although there is no guarantee that performance targets will be achieved, we estimate the fair value of
performance-based RSUs based on our closing stock price at time of grant.
Each of the Plans provide for certain adjustments to the performance measurement in connection with awards under
the Plans. With respect to the performance-based RSUs granted under our 2024 Stock Incentive Plan, such
performance measurement adjustments relate to significant events, including, without limitation, acquisitions,
divestitures, new business ventures, changes in fair value of contingent consideration (solely with respect to
performance-based RSUs granted in the 2024 and 2025 plan years), certain capital transactions (including share
repurchases), differences in budgeted average outstanding shares (other than those resulting from capital
transactions referred to above), restructuring costs, amortization expense recorded for acquisition-related intangible
assets, certain litigation settlements or payments, changes in accounting principles or in applicable laws or
regulations, changes in income tax rates in certain markets, foreign exchange fluctuations, the financial impact
either positive or negative, of the difference in projected earnings generated by COVID-19 test kits (solely with
respect to performance-based RSUs granted in the 2023 plan year), intangibles impairment charges, costs related to

shareholder advisory matters (solely with respect to performance-based RSUs granted in the 2025 plan year) and
unforeseen events or circumstances affecting us.
Over the performance period, the number of performance-based RSUs that will ultimately vest and be issued and
the related compensation expense is adjusted upward or downward based upon our estimation of achieving such
performance targets. The ultimate number of shares delivered to recipients and the related compensation cost
recognized as an expense is based on our actual performance against the pre-determined performance metrics (in
each case as adjusted).
Stock options are awards that allow the recipient to purchase shares of our common stock after vesting at a fixed
price set at the time of grant. Stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to our closing stock price on the
date of grant. Stock options issued in 2021 and 2022 vest

Note 13 – Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Some minority stockholders in certain of our subsidiaries have the right, at certain times, to require us to acquire
their ownership interest in those entities at fair value. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 480-10 is
applicable for noncontrolling interests where we are or may be required to purchase all or a portion of the
outstanding interest in a consolidated subsidiary from the noncontrolling interest holder under the terms of a put
option contained in contractual agreements. The components of the change in the redeemable noncontrolling
interests for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 are presented in the following table:

Our financial statements are denominated in U.S. Dollars. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies as
compared to the U.S. Dollar may have a significant impact on our comprehensive income. The foreign currency
translation gain (loss) during the three months ended March 29, 2025 and three months ended March 30, 2024 was
primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Brazilian Real, British Pound, Euro, New
Zealand Dollar, Australian Dollar, Swiss Franc, and Canadian Dollar.
The hedging gain (loss) during the three months ended March 29, 2025, and March 30, 2024 was attributable to a

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Henry Schein, Inc. by the weighted-
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Our diluted earnings per share is computed similarly
to basic earnings per share, except that it reflects the effect of common shares issuable for unvested RSUs and upon
exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method in periods in which they have a dilutive effect.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
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

the documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Risk factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current and historical results
include, but are not limited to: our dependence on third parties for the manufacture and supply of our products and
where we manufacture products, our dependence on third parties for raw materials or purchased components; risks
relating to the achievement of our strategic growth objectives; risks related to the Strategic Partnership Agreement

and other claims; risks associated with customs policies or legislative import restrictions; risks associated with
disease outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), or similar wide-spread public health
concerns and other natural or man-made disasters; risks associated with our global operations; litigation risks; new
or unanticipated litigation developments and the status of litigation matters; our dependence on our senior
management, employee hiring and retention, increases in labor costs or health care costs, and our relationships with
32
customers, suppliers and manufacturers; and disruptions in financial markets. 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 except as
required by law.
Where You Can Find Important Information
We may disclose important information through one or more of the following channels: SEC filings, public
conference calls and webcasts, press releases, the investor relations page of our website (www.henryschein.com)
and the social media channels identified on the About Media Center page of our website.
Recent Developments
While the U.S. economy has experienced inflationary pressures and strengthening of the U.S. dollar, their impacts
have not been material to our results of operations. Though inflation impacts both our revenues and costs, the depth
and breadth of our product portfolio often allows us to offer lower-cost national brand solutions or corporate brand
alternatives to our more price-sensitive customers who are unwilling to absorb price increases, thus positioning us
to protect our gross profit.
Segment Reporting
During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, we revised our reportable segments to align
with how the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer manages the business, assesses performance and allocates
resources. Our revised reportable segments now consist of: (i) Global Distribution and Value -Added Services; (ii)
Global Specialty Products; and (iii) Global Technology.
Global Distribution and Value-Added Services includes distribution to the global dental and medical markets of
national brand and corporate brand merchandise, as well as equipment and related technical services. This segment
also includes value-added services such as financial services, continuing education services, consulting and other
services. This segment also markets and sells under our own corporate brand, a portfolio of cost-effective, high-
quality consumable merchandise. Global Specialty Products includes manufacturing, marketing and sales of dental
implant and biomaterial products; and endodontic, orthodontic and orthopedic products and other health care-
related products and services. Global Technology includes development and distribution of practice management
software, e-services, and other products, which are distributed to health care providers.
Cyber Incident
In October 2023 Henry Schein experienced a cyber incident that primarily affected the operations of our North
American and European dental and medical distribution businesses. Henry Schein One, our practice management
software, revenue cycle management and patient relationship management solutions business, was not affected, and
our manufacturing businesses were mostly unaffected. On November 22, 2023, we experienced a disruption of our
ecommerce platform and related applications, which was remediated.
During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we had a sales decrease in our dental and medical distribution
businesses, which we believe was primarily a result of lower sales to episodic customers following the cyber
incident.
During the three months ended March 29, 2025, we did not incur any expenses directly related to the cyber
incident. During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we incurred $5 million of expenses directly related to the
cyber incident, mostly consisting of professional fees. We maintain cyber insurance, subject to certain retentions
and policy limitations. With respect to the October 2023 cyber incident, we have a $60 million insurance policy,
following a $5 million retention. During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we did not receive any insurance
33
proceeds. During the three months ended March 29, 2025 we received insurance proceeds of $20 million under this
policy, representing the remaining insurance recovery of losses related to the cyber incident. The expenses and
insurance recoveries related to the cyber incident are included in the selling, general and administrative line in our
condensed consolidated statements of income.
Tariffs and Related Economic Conditions
The U.S. has adopted new and increased tariffs on imports from countries, subject to evolving exemptions, with
additional tariff increases proposed but currently on pause. Some countries have imposed retaliatory tariffs and
other restrictions on imports from the U.S. These developments, and anticipated future developments, have created
a volatile environment for global trade.
The tariffs did not have a material impact on our results of operations in the first quarter of this fiscal year. It is
unclear whether, or the extent to which, the proposed tariffs on numerous countries that are incrementally higher
than those in place today will take effect, the exceptions that may apply, and their timing.

Executive-Level Overview
Henry Schein, Inc. is a solutions company for health care professionals powered by a network of people and
technology.
We
believe we are the world’s largest provider of health care products and services primarily to office-
based dental and medical practitioners, as well as alternate sites of care.
We
serve more than one million customers
worldwide including dental practitioners, laboratories, physician practices and ambulatory surgery centers, as well
as government, institutional health care clinics, home health providers, and other alternate care clinics.
We
believe
that we have a strong brand identity due to our more than 93 years of experience distributing health care products.
We
are headquartered in Melville, New York, employ more than 25,000 people (of which approximately 13,000 are
based outside of the United States) and have operations or affiliates in 33 countries and territories. Our broad
global footprint has evolved over time through our organic growth as well as through contribution from strategic
acquisitions.
We
have established strategically located distribution centers around the world to enable us to better serve our
customers and increase our operating efficiency. This infrastructure, together with broad product and service
offerings at competitive prices, and a strong commitment to customer service, enables us to be a single source of
supply for our customers’ needs.
As a distributor, we market and sell branded products as well as our own corporate brand portfolio of cost-effective,
high-quality consumable merchandise products.
We
also manufacture, source and sell a range of company-owned
manufactured products, primarily implants, biomaterial products, endodontics, handpiece and small equipment,
hand instrument and repair, restoratives, orthodontics, wound care, orthopedics and dental lab products.
We
have
achieved scale in these global businesses primarily through acquisitions, as manufacturers of these products
typically do not utilize a distribution channel to serve customers.
During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, we revised our reportable segments to align
with how the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer manages the business, assesses performance and allocates
resources. Our revised reportable segments now consist of: (i) Global Distribution and Value -Added Services; (ii)
Global Specialty Products; and (iii) Global Technology.
Global Distribution and Value-Added Services includes distribution to the global dental and medical markets of
national brand and corporate brand merchandise, as well as equipment and related technical services. This segment
also includes value-added services such as financial services, continuing education services, consulting and other
services. This segment also markets and sells under our own corporate brand, a portfolio of cost-effective, high-
quality consumable merchandise. Global Specialty Products includes manufacturing, marketing and sales of dental
implant and biomaterial products; and endodontic, orthodontic and orthopedic products and other health care-
related products and services. Global Technology includes development and distribution of practice management
software, e-services, and other products, which are distributed to health care providers.
A key element to grow closer to our customers is our One Schein initiative, which is a unified go-to-market
approach that enables practitioners to work synergistically with our supply chain, equipment sales and service and
other value-added services, allowing our customers to leverage the combined value that we offer through a single
program. Specifically, One Schein provides customers with streamlined access to our comprehensive offering of
national brand products, corporate brand products and proprietary specialty products and solutions (including
implant, orthodontic and endodontic products). In addition, customers have access to a wide range of services,
including software and other value-added services.
Industry Overview
In recent years, the health care industry has increasingly focused on cost containment. This trend has benefited
distributors capable of providing a broad array of products and services at low prices. It also has accelerated the
growth of DSOs, GPOs, HMOs, group practices, other managed care accounts and collective buying groups, which,
in addition to their emphasis on obtaining products at competitive prices, tend to favor distributors capable of
providing specialized management information support.
We
believe that the trend towards cost containment has
35
the potential to favorably affect demand for technology solutions, including software, which can enhance the
efficiency and facilitation of practice management.
Our operating results in recent years have been significantly affected by strategies and transactions that we
undertook to expand our business, domestically and internationally, in part to address significant changes in the
health care industry, including consolidation of health care distribution companies, health care reform, trends
toward managed care, cuts in Medicare and collective purchasing arrangements.
Industry Consolidation
The health care products distribution industry, as it relates to office-based health care practitioners, is fragmented
and diverse. The industry ranges from sole practitioners working out of relatively small offices to group practices
or service organizations ranging in size from a few practitioners to a large number of practitioners who have
combined or otherwise associated their practices.
Due in part to the inability of office-based health care practitioners to store and manage large quantities of supplies
in their offices, the distribution of health care supplies and small equipment to office-based health care practitioners
has been characterized by frequent, small quantity orders, and a need for rapid, reliable and substantially complete
order fulfillment. The purchasing decisions within an office-based health care practice are typically made by the
practitioner or an administrative assistant. Supplies and small equipment are generally purchased from more than
one distributor, with one generally serving as the primary supplier.
The trend of consolidation extends to our customer base. Health care practitioners are increasingly seeking to
partner, affiliate or combine with larger entities such as hospitals, health systems, group practices or physician
hospital organizations. In many cases, purchasing decisions for consolidated groups are made at a centralized or
professional staff level; however, orders are delivered to the practitioners’ offices.
We
believe that consolidation within the industry will continue to result in a number of distributors, particularly
those with limited financial, operating and marketing resources, seeking to combine with larger companies that can
provide growth opportunities. This consolidation also may continue to result in distributors seeking to acquire
companies that can enhance their current product and service offerings or provide opportunities to serve a broader
customer base.
Our approach to acquisitions and joint ventures has been to expand our role as a provider of products and services
to the health care industry. This trend has resulted in our expansion into service areas that complement our existing
operations and provide opportunities for us to develop synergies with, and thus strengthen, the acquired businesses.
As industry consolidation continues, we believe that we are positioned to capitalize on this trend, as we believe we
have the ability to support increased sales through our existing infrastructure, although there can be no assurances
that we will be able to successfully accomplish this.
We
are focused on building relationships with decision makers
who do not reside in the office-based practitioner setting.
As the health care industry continues to change, we continually evaluate possible candidates for joint venture or
acquisition and intend to continue to seek opportunities to expand our role as a provider of products and services to
the health care industry. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully pursue any such
opportunity or consummate any such transaction, if pursued. If additional transactions are entered into or
consummated, we would incur merger and/or acquisition-related costs, and there can be no assurance that the
integration efforts associated with any such transaction would be successful.
Aging Population and Other Market Influences
The health care products distribution industry continues to experience growth due to the aging population,
increased health care awareness, the proliferation of medical technology and testing, new pharmacological
treatments, and expanded third-party insurance coverage, partially offset by the effects of unemployment on
36
insurance coverage. In addition, the physician market continues to benefit from the shift of procedures and
diagnostic testing from acute care settings to alternate-care sites, particularly physicians’ offices.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Database, between 2025 and 2035, the 45 and older
population is expected to grow by approximately 10%. Between 2025 and 2045, this age group is expected to grow
by approximately 17%. This compares with expected total U.S. population growth rates of approximately 4%
between 2025 and 2035 and approximately 6% between 2025 and 2045.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Database, in 2025 there are approximately seven million
Americans aged 85 years or older, the segment of the population most in need of long-term care and elder-care
services. By the year 2050, that number is projected to increase to approximately 17 million. The population aged
65 to 84 years is projected to increase by approximately 15% during the same period.
As a result of these market dynamics, annual expenditures for health care services continue to increase in the
United States.
We
believe that demand for our products and services will grow while continuing to be impacted by
current and future operating, economic, and industry conditions. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
or CMS published “National Health Expenditure Data” indicating that total national health care spending reached
approximately $4.9 trillion in 2023, or 17.6% of the nation’s gross domestic product, the benchmark measure for
annual production of goods and services in the United States. Health care spending is projected to reach
approximately $7.7 trillion by 2032, or 19.7% of the nation’s projected gross domestic product.
We
believe similar demographic changes are also occurring in other markets we serve outside the U.S.
Government
Certain of our businesses involve the distribution, manufacturing, importation, exportation, marketing, sale and
promotion of pharmaceuticals and/or medical devices, and in this regard, we are subject to extensive local, state,
federal and foreign governmental laws and regulations, including as applicable to our wholesale distribution of
pharmaceuticals and medical devices, manufacturing activities, and as part of our specialty home medical supplies
businesses that distribute and sell medical equipment and supplies directly to patients. Federal, state and certain
foreign governments have also increased enforcement activity in the health care sector, particularly in areas of fraud
and abuse, anti-bribery and anti-corruption, controlled substances handling, medical device regulations and data
privacy and security standards.
Certain of our businesses involve pharmaceuticals and/or medical devices, including orthopaedic, in vitro
diagnostic devices, software regulated as a medical device, and sales of medical equipment and supplies directly to
patients, that are paid for by third parties and/or patients and must operate in compliance with a variety of
burdensome and complex coding, billing and record-keeping requirements in order to substantiate claims for
payment under federal, state and commercial health care reimbursement programs.
Government and private insurance programs fund a large portion of the total cost of medical care, and there have
been efforts to limit such private and government insurance programs, including efforts, thus far unsuccessful, to
seek repeal of the entire United States Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care
and Education Reconciliation Act, each enacted in March 2010.
Certain of our businesses are subject to various additional federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations,
including with respect to the sale, transportation, importation, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous or
potentially hazardous substances; “forever chemicals” such as per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances; amalgam bans;
pricing disclosures; supply chain transparency around labor practices; and safe working conditions. In addition,
activities to control medical costs, including laws and regulations lowering reimbursement rates for
pharmaceuticals, medical devices, medical supplies and/or medical treatments or services, are ongoing. Laws and
regulations are subject to change and their evolving implementation may impact our operations and our financial
performance.
37
Certain of our businesses also maintain contracts with governmental agencies and are subject to certain regulatory
requirements specific to government contractors.
Our businesses are generally subject to numerous laws and regulations that could impact our financial performance,
and failure to comply with such laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business.
A more detailed discussion of governmental laws and regulations is included in Management’s Discussion &
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025.

On August 6, 2024, we committed to a new restructuring plan (the “2024 Plan”) to integrate recent acquisitions,
right-size operations and further increase efficiencies. During the three months ended March 29, 2025, we recorded
restructuring charges associated with the 2024 Plan of $25 million, which primarily related to severance and
employee-related costs. We expect to record restructuring charges associated with the 2024 Plan through the end of
2025; however, an estimate of the amount of these charges has not yet been determined.
On August 1, 2022, we committed to a restructuring plan (the “2022 Plan”) focused on funding the priorities of the
BOLD+1 strategic plan, streamlining operations and other initiatives to increase efficiency. The 2022 Plan has
been completed as of July 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 30, 2024, in connection with our 2022
Plan, we recorded restructuring costs of $10 million, which primarily related to severance and employee-related
costs, accelerated amortization of right-of-use assets and fixed assets, and other exit costs.

Global Sales
Global net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2025 decreased 0.1%. Foreign exchange resulted in a 1.5%
decrease in sales growth, partially offset by 1.2% acquisition sales growth. The components of our sales decrease
are presented in the table above.
The 0.2% increase in our internally generated local currency sales was primarily attributable to lower sales of PPE
products and COVID-19 test kits, and the impact of the deferral of sales of U.S. dental equipment from the fourth
quarter of 2023 into the first quarter of 2024 as a result of the cyber incident, partially offset by dental merchandise
and equipment sales growth in certain of our international markets, and medical sales growth attributable to
increased patient traffic and growth of our Home Solutions business. For the three months ended March 29, 2025,
the estimated increase in internally generated local currency sales, excluding PPE products and COVID-19 test kits,
was 0.7%.
Global Distribution and Value-Added Services Sales
Global Distribution and Value-Added Services net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2025 decreased
0.7%. The components of our sales decrease are presented in the table above.
The 1.3% decrease in internally generated local currency dental sales was primarily due to lower sales of PPE
products and the impact of the deferral of sales of U.S. dental equipment from the fourth quarter of 2023 into the
first quarter of 2024 as a result of the cyber incident. The decrease was partially offset by dental merchandise and
equipment sales growth in certain of our international markets.
The 1.8% increase in internally generated local currency medical sales was attributable to increased patient traffic
and growth of our Home Solutions business, partially offset by lower sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test
kits.
The decrease in internally generated local currency value-added services sales was attributable primarily to lower
sales in our practice transitions business, which can fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
We estimate that sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits were approximately $163 million for the three
months ended March 29, 2025, as compared to $180 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024,
representing an estimated decrease of $17 million. The estimated $17 million net decrease in sales of PPE products
and COVID-19 test kits represents 0.6% of Global Distribution and Value-Added Services
net sales for the three
months ended March 29, 2025, and was primarily due to lower glove prices. The estimated increase in the
segment’s internally generated local currency sales, excluding PPE products and COVID-19 test kits, was 0.5%.
Global Specialty Products
Global Specialty Products net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2025 increased 2.0%. The components
of our sales increase are presented in the table above.
The 0.3% increase in internally generated local currency sales was attributable to growth in our implant and
biomaterial businesses in certain of our international markets, partially offset by a decline in endodontic and
orthodontic sales globally and implant sales in the United States. The increase in constant currency Global
Specialty Products sales was also attributable to the acquisition of TriMed Inc. during the year ended December 28,
2024.
40
Global Technology
Global Technology net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2025 increased 2.9%. The components of sales
growth are presented in the table above.
The internally generated local currency increase of 3.4% in Global Technology sales was primarily attributable to a
continued increase in the number of cloud-based users of our practice management software and an increase in
revenue cycle management solutions, partially offset by lower revenues of certain legacy products.

As a result of different practices of categorizing costs associated with distribution networks throughout our
industry, our gross margins may not necessarily be comparable to other distribution companies. Gross margin
percentages vary between our segments. We realize substantially higher gross margin from sales of products that
we develop and manufacture within our Global Specialty Products segment compared to gross margin from sales of
products that we distribute within our Global Distribution and Value-Added Services segment. Within our Global
Technology segment, higher gross margins result from us being both the developer and seller of software products
and services.
Within our Global Distribution and Value -Added Services segment, gross profit margins may vary between the
periods as a result of the changes in the mix of products sold as well as changes in our customer mix. With respect
to customer mix, sales to our large-group customers are typically completed at lower gross margins due to the
higher volumes sold as opposed to the gross margin on sales to office-based practitioners, who normally purchase
lower volumes.
The decrease in Global Distribution and Value-Added Services gross profit for the three months ended March 29,
2025 compared to the prior-year-period is due to lower sales of dental equipment in the U.S., lower sales in our
practice transitions business and lower gross margins of our dental merchandise products.
The increase in Global Specialty Products gross profit reflects increased internally generated sales volume and
gross profit from acquisitions. The increase in gross margin rates was due to product mix.
The increase in Global Technology gross profit is the result of higher internally generated sales, and improved
gross margin rates.

Adjustments represent items excluded from segment operating income to enable comparison of financial
results between periods. These items may vary independently of business performance. Please see
. These adjustments (current quarter vs. prior quarter) consist of (i) acquisition intangible
amortization ($43 million vs. $46 million), (ii) restructuring costs ($25 million vs. $10 million), (iii)
changes in contingent consideration ($(2) million vs. $15 million), (iv) cyber incident third-party advisory

The components of the net decrease in total operating expenses are presented in the table above. The decrease in
operating costs (excluding acquisitions) during the three months ended March 29, 2025 included cost savings from
our restructuring activities, certain changes in estimates and other operating cost efficiencies, partially offset by an
increase in Corporate costs related to investments in technology, higher corporate administrative fees, as well as a
return to historical levels of compensation.

Interest income increased primarily due to increased late fee income. Interest expense increased primarily due to
increased borrowings, partially offset by lower interest rates.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 24.9% for the three months ended March 29, 2025, compared to 25.6% for the prior year
period. The difference between our effective and federal statutory tax rates primarily relates to state and foreign
income taxes and interest expense.
The Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) issued technical and administrative
guidance on Pillar Two rules in December 2021, which provides for a global minimum tax rate on the earnings of
large multinational businesses on a country-by-country basis. Effective January 1, 2024, the minimum global tax
rate is 15% for various jurisdictions pursuant to the Pillar Two rules. Future tax reform resulting from these
developments may result in changes to long-standing tax principles, which may adversely impact our effective tax
rate going forward or result in higher cash tax liabilities. As of March 29, 2025, the impact of the Pillar Two rules
to our financial statements was immaterial.
43
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal capital requirements have included funding of acquisitions, purchases of additional noncontrolling
interests, repayments of debt principal, the funding of working capital needs, purchases of fixed assets and
repurchases of common stock. Working capital requirements generally result from increased sales, special
inventory forward buy-in opportunities and payment terms for receivables and payables. Historically, sales have
tended to be stronger during the second half of the year and special inventory forward buy-in opportunities have
been most prevalent just before the end of the year, and have caused our working capital requirements to be higher
from the end of the third quarter to the end of the first quarter of the following year.
We finance our business primarily through cash generated from our operations, revolving credit facilities and debt
placements. Please see
operations is dependent on the continued demand of our customers for our products and services, and access to
products and services from our suppliers.
Our business requires a substantial investment in working capital, which is susceptible to fluctuations during the
year as a result of inventory purchase patterns and seasonal demands. Inventory purchase activity is a function of
sales activity, special inventory forward buy-in opportunities and our desired level of inventory.
We finance our business to provide adequate funding for at least 12 months. Funding requirements are based on
forecasted profitability and working capital needs, which, on occasion, may change. Consequently, we may change
our funding structure to reflect any new requirements.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, our ability to access private debt markets and public equity markets,
and our available funds under existing credit facilities provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our currently
foreseeable short-term and long-term capital needs.
Our acquisition strategy is focused on investments in companies that add new customers and sales teams, increase
our geographic footprint (whether entering a new country, such as emerging markets, or building scale where we
have already invested in businesses), and finally, those that enable us to access new products and technologies.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $37 million for the three months ended March 29, 2025, compared to
net cash provided by operating activities of $197 million for the prior year. The net change of $160 million was
primarily attributable to changes in working capital accounts (primarily accounts receivable, inventory, and
accounts payable and accrued expenses). Our operating cash flows during the three months ended March 30, 2024
were affected by the residual impacts of the 2023 cyber incident and included a higher-than-normal level of cash
collections. Our cash collections normalized during the three months ended March 29, 2025.
Net cash used in investing activities was $99 million for the three months ended March 29, 2025, compared to net
cash used in investing activities of $72 million for the prior year. The net change of $27 million was primarily
attributable to increased payments for equity investments and business acquisitions.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $89 million for the three months ended March 29, 2025, compared to
net cash used in financing activities of $151 million for the prior year. The net change of $240 million was
primarily due to increased net borrowings from debt to finance our investments, partially offset by increased
repurchases of common stock.

Includes $471 million and $241 million of certain accounts receivable which serve as security for U.S. trade accounts receivable
securitization at March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.
Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances and investments in money market funds representing
overnight investments with a high degree of liquidity.
Accounts receivable days sales outstanding and inventory turns
Our accounts receivable days sales outstanding from operations decreased to 44.1 days as of March 29, 2025 from
50.4 days as of March 30, 2024, which was primarily attributable to impact that the cyber incident had on the cash
collections during the three months ended March 30, 2024. During the three months ended March 29, 2025, we
wrote off approximately $2 million of fully reserved accounts receivable against our trade receivable reserve. Our
inventory turns from operations decreased to 4.8 as of March 29, 2025 from 4.9 as of March 30, 2024. Our
working capital accounts may be impacted by current and future economic conditions.
Leases
We
have operating and finance leases for corporate offices, office space, distribution and other facilities, vehicles
and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining terms of less than one year to approximately 16 years, some of
which may include options to extend the leases for up to 15 years. As of March 29, 2025, our right-of-use assets
related to operating leases were $294 million and our current and non-current operating lease liabilities were $77
million and $256 million, respectively.
Stock Repurchases
On January 27, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $500 million in shares
of our common stock.
From March 3, 2003 through March 29, 2025, we repurchased $5.3 billion, or 98,069,939 shares, under our
common stock repurchase programs, with $718 million available as of March 29, 2025 for future common stock
share repurchases. Subject to market conditions and other factors, we plan to continue to accelerate our share
repurchase activity.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Some minority stockholders in certain of our subsidiaries have the right, at certain times, to require us to acquire
their ownership interest in those entities at fair value. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 480-10 is
applicable for noncontrolling interests where we are or may be required to purchase all or a portion of the
outstanding interest in a consolidated subsidiary from the noncontrolling interest holder under the terms of a put
option contained in contractual agreements. As of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, our balance for
redeemable noncontrolling interests was $765 million and $806 million, respectively. Please see

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based
on this evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 29, 2025, to ensure that all
material information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to them as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and
that all such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms, and the rules of the Nasdaq stock exchange.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The combination of acquisitions and continued acquisition integrations undertaken during the quarter ended March
29, 2025, and carried over from prior quarters when considered in the aggregate, does not represent a material
change in our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control
system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company
have been detected.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Purchases of equity securities by the issuer
Our share repurchase program, announced on March 3, 2003, originally allowed us to repurchase up to two million
shares pre-stock splits (eight million shares post-stock splits) of our common stock, which represented
approximately 2.3% of the shares outstanding at the commencement of the program. Subsequent additional
increases totaling $5.9 billion, authorized by our Board, to the repurchase program provide for a total of $6.0 billion
(including $500 million authorized on January 27, 2025) of shares of our common stock to be repurchased under
this program. Subject to market conditions and other factors, we plan to continue to accelerate our share repurchase
activity.
As of March 29, 2025, we had repurchased approximately $5.3 billion of common stock (98,069,939 shares) under
these initiatives, with $718 million available for future common stock share repurchases.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On May 3, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved the amendment and restatement of the Henry Schein, Inc.
Incentive Plan (the “HSIP”), effective as of January 1, 2025. The HSIP is our annual incentive-based cash bonus
plan, which was amended and restated to incorporate the following key changes:
•
Administration of the HSIP
. The HSIP was amended to clarify that administration of the HSIP for
participants who are not executive officers will be overseen by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer or other appropriate member of the Executive Management Committee of the Company (or in each
case, their designated delegates). Administration of the HSIP for executive officers continues to be
overseen by the Compensation Committee. The amendment and restatement also clarifies that the
administration of the HSIP for our affiliates will be overseen by such affiliate’s governance body, such as
its board of directors or compensation committee.
•
Participation in Multiple Bonus plans
. The HSIP was amended to clarify that our employees may not
participate in more than one annual incentive-based cash bonus plan at the same time, unless approved by
an authorized officer or, with respect to executive officers, by the Compensation Committee.
•
Conduct of Participants
. The HSIP was amended to explicitly state that, in achieving goals under the
HSIP, participants are expected to conduct business ethically, with a high level of integrity and in
compliance with laws, regulations and our policies (including internal controls over financial reporting).
In addition, we adopted certain other minor clarifying amendments to the HSIP.
The foregoing summary of the amendment and restatement of the HSIP does not purport to be complete and is
subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the HSIP, which is attached as Exhibit 10.4 and
incorporated herein by reference.
