Owens & Minor Reports 4th Quarter & Full-Year 2015 Financial ResultsOwens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE-OMI) today reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2015, including consolidated revenues of $9.77 billion, which improved 3.5% over the prior year. Net income for 2015 was $103.4 million, or $1.65 per diluted share. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $125.3 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, the strongest earnings result ever reported by the company. The increase of $0.24 in adjusted earnings per diluted share resulted from continued progress in repositioning the International segment, improving performance from the two 2014 acquisitions, benefits derived from the global sourcing strategy, and early progress associated with implementation of the company's transformation agenda. A reconciliation of reported results to adjusted (non-GAAP) measures is included below. Consolidated operating earnings for 2015 were $200.4 million, or 2.05% of revenues, representing an improvement of $40.8 million when compared to last year's operating earnings. Adjusted consolidated operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the full year improved 12.2% to $227.3 million, or 2.33% of revenues. "I am pleased with the performance of our teams in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, who worked in concert to close out 2015 on a strong note by achieving solid revenue and record earnings results," said P. Cody Phipps, president & chief executive officer of Owens & Minor. "We are making solid progress on our transformation agenda, which contributed to our positive results for 2015. Looking ahead, we have a clear path, a newly energized leadership team, and specific plans for creating efficiencies throughout our global business platform. Our focus remains on demonstrating consistent earnings growth, while we reposition the company for long term success." Fourth Quarter 2015 Results For the fourth quarter of 2015, consolidated net revenues were $2.49 billion, representing a slight decline when compared to revenues in the fourth quarter of 2014. Quarterly revenue results reflected the previously discussed exit of certain healthcare customers in the Domestic and International segments. Quarterly net income was $32.1 million, or $0.51 per diluted share. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the quarter was $35.1 million, or $0.56 per diluted share. Consolidated operating earnings for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased $17.2 million to $58.0 million, when compared to the same period last year. Adjusted consolidated operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $63.1 million, an improvement of $4.1 million over last year. The quarterly improvements were derived from the same factors highlighted in the annual results. Asset Management The balance of cash and cash equivalents was $161 million at December 31, 2015. For the year, the company reported $270 million of cash provided by operating activities, compared to cash used for operating activities of $3.8 million in the prior year. The increase in operating cash flow was driven primarily by improved net income and the recovery from the temporarily unfavorable timing of vendor payments in 2014. Asset management metrics, as of the end of the year, included consolidated days sales outstanding (DSO) of 21.0, compared to DSO of 22.1 days last year; as well as consolidated inventory turns of 9.4 compared to 10.1 for 2014. Segment Results For the full year of 2015, Domestic segment revenue increased 4.5% to $9.36 billion, when compared to the prior year. Domestic segment revenues for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $2.38 billion, representing an increase of 1.3% when compared to last year's fourth quarter. Revenue growth in the Domestic segment resulted primarily from larger healthcare provider customers and new business, which offset declines from smaller customer accounts. Another positive contributor to Domestic segment revenue growth was the Medical Action acquisition, which accounted for 1.5% of the annual revenue increase. For the full year, Domestic segment operating earnings increased $14.1 million to $223.4 million, representing 2.39% of segment revenues. For the fourth quarter of 2015, Domestic segment operating earnings were $62.5 million, an increase of $5.0 million, when compared to the same period of 2014. The improvement in annual and quarterly Domestic segment operating earnings resulted primarily from revenue growth, benefits from manufacturer product price changes, contributions from Medical Action, expense control initiatives, and lower fuel costs. For the International segment, full-year revenues decreased 14.6% to $417 million, while quarterly revenues decreased 25.6% to $103 million. On a constant currency basis, excluding the effect of the transition of a U.K. customer from a buy-sell to a fee-for-service arrangement and the first full year of contributions from the ArcRoyal acquisition, International segment revenues declined approximately 3.5% for the year. For the year, the International segment reported operating earnings of $3.9 million, which improved $10.6 million from the prior year. The company attributed the gains to measures taken throughout the year to streamline and reposition the business, improve operational efficiency, and reduce expenses. For the fourth quarter of 2015, the International segment had operating earnings of $0.6 million. "Our International team worked throughout the year to achieve operational and financial improvements, leading to a $10.6 million increase in International segment operating earnings for the year," said Richard A. Meier, executive vice president & chief financial officer and president-International of Owens & Minor. "At the same time, the team repositioned and stabilized the business, finding ways to serve our clients with greater efficiency. In the coming year, we look forward to focusing on developing new avenues for growth." 2016 Outlook The company reiterated its financial guidance for 2016, consistent with the guidance originally provided at its December 2015 Investor Day.

Owens & Minor, Inc Financial Statistics and GAAP/Non-GAAP Reconciliations (unaudited) The following items have been excluded in our non-GAAP financial measures: (1) Acquisition-related charges in 2015 consist primarily of costs to continue the integration of Medical Action and ArcRoyal which were acquired in the fourth quarter of 2014 including certain severance and contractual payments to the former owner and costs to transition information technology and other administrative functions. Charges incurred in 2014 related primarily to costs to complete the transactions, and costs to begin the integration of the acquired operations (including certain severance and contractual payments) as well as certain costs in Movianto to resolve issues and claims with the former owner. (2) Exit and realignment charges in 2015 and 2014 were associated with optimizing our operations and include the consolidation of distribution and logistics centers and closure of offsite warehouses in the United States and Europe, as well as other costs associated with our strategic organizational realignment which include certain professional fees and costs to streamline administrative functions and processes in Europe. (3) The fourth quarter of 2014 included a gain of $6.7 million (pretax) recorded in other operating income, net from a fair value adjustment to contingent consideration related to the Movianto acquisition purchase price, offset by the incremental charge to cost of goods sold of $3.0 million (pretax) from purchase accounting impacts related to the sale of acquired inventory that was written up to fair value in connection with the 2014 acquisitions. (4) The fourth quarter of 2015 included a partial recovery of $1.5 million related to a contract settlement in the United Kingdom for which $3.9 million was expensed in 2014. Both the 2015 recovery and the 2014 settlement expense were recorded in other operating income, net. These charges have been tax effected in the preceding table by determining the income tax rate depending on the amount of charges incurred in different tax jurisdictions and the deductibility of those charges for income tax purposes. Use of Non-GAAP Measures This earnings release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In general, the measures exclude items and charges that (i) management does not believe reflect Owens & Minor, Inc.'s (the "Company") core business and relate more to strategic, multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company's performance, evaluate the balance sheet, engage in financial and operational planning and determine incentive compensation. Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on its financial and operating results and in comparing the Company's performance to that of its competitors. However, the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth above should be carefully evaluated.
