Owens & Minor Reports 1st Quarter 2016 Financial ResultsOwens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE-OMI) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016, including consolidated revenues of $2.46 billion, an increase of 2.7% when compared to revenues of $2.39 billion in the first quarter of 2015. Quarterly net income was $24.1 million, or $0.39 per diluted share. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $31.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to $0.44 per diluted share in last year's first quarter. The $0.06 increase in adjusted net income per diluted share resulted from improved operating earnings in each of the company's segments. A reconciliation of reported results to adjusted (non-GAAP) measures is included below. Consolidated operating earnings for the first quarter of 2016 were $45.0 million, or 1.83% of revenues, representing an increase of $4.0 million, when compared to last year's operating earnings. Adjusted consolidated operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the first quarter improved $4.6 million to $55.5 million, or 2.26% of revenues. "We are pleased with the progress we made during the quarter, including achieving strong earnings, onboarding new leadership talent, and driving progress with the International and CPS segments," said P. Cody Phipps, president & chief executive officer of Owens & Minor. "While we are disappointed in the recently announced decision by a large domestic customer not to renew its contract with us, we remain focused on attacking the complexity in large health systems and providing value for both our manufacturer and provider customers. We remain confident in our strategy and committed to the goals outlined in our Transformation Agenda." Asset Management At March 31, 2016, the balance of cash and cash equivalents was $190 million. For the first quarter of 2016, the company reported cash provided by operating activities of $45 million compared to $169 million for the same period last year. Asset management metrics for the quarter were strong with consolidated days sales outstanding (DSO) of 21.8 days as of March 31, 2016, an improvement when compared to the prior year quarter. Consolidated inventory turns were 9.3 for the first quarter of 2016, compared to inventory turns of 9.4 for 2015. Segment Results Owens & Minor has made certain changes to its leadership team, organizational structure, and budgeting and financial reporting processes to align operations into three distinct business units, which are charged with executing the strategic, financial and operational goals of the company. Consequently, beginning with first-quarter 2016, Owens & Minor is reporting financial results using the following three-segment structure:
Domestic segment revenues for the first quarter of 2016 were $2.32 billion, increased 3.2% when compared to the prior year's first quarter revenue. Domestic segment revenue growth resulted primarily from growth in larger healthcare provider customer accounts and an additional sales day in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2015. For the first quarter of 2016, Domestic segment operating earnings were $41.7 million, representing an improvement of $3.6 million when compared to the first quarter of 2015. The improvement in operating earnings resulted primarily from revenue growth, expense control initiatives and higher income from manufacturer product price changes. For the International segment, revenues were $83.6 million for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of nearly $12.0 million in comparison to last year. Excluding the previously discussed exit of a U.K.-based customer last year and the negative impact of foreign exchange, revenues declined by $4.3 million for the quarter. For the first quarter of 2016, the International segment had positive operating earnings of $1.1 million, representing an improvement of $1.5 million over last year, as a result of improved performance in the U.K and profitable results across other regions. For the Clinical & Procedural Solutions (CPS) business, revenues for the first quarter were $141 million, representing an improvement of $11.7 million compared to a year ago. CPS revenue growth benefitted from increased sales of custom procedure trays and improved alignment with our Domestic and International segments' sales effort. Operating earnings for the CPS segment were $13.3 million, consistent with last year's results. "For the first quarter, each of our business segments reported positive operating earnings results," said Richard A. Meier, executive vice president & chief financial officer, and president-International of Owens & Minor. "These results reflect progress on implementing elements of our Transformation Agenda, which is designed to position Owens & Minor for sustained profitable growth." 2016 Outlook The company reiterated its financial guidance for 2016 of adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $2.00 to $2.05. The 2016 outlook is based on certain assumptions that are subject to the risk factors discussed in the company's filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission. Upcoming Investor Events

Owens & Minor, Inc. Financial Statistics and GAAP/Non-GAAP Reconciliations (unaudited) The following items in the current quarter have been excluded in our non-GAAP financial measures: (1) Acquisition-related charges in the first quarter of 2016 related to the gain on the sale of property acquired with the Medical Action acquisition. Charges in 2015 consisted 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. (2) Exit and realignment charges in the first quarter of 2016 primarily included costs associated with our voluntary employee separation program and other severance charges. Amounts in 2015 were associated with optimizing our operations and included costs for 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 included certain professional fees and costs to streamline administrative functions and processes in Europe. (3) 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.
