Owens & Minor Reports 3rd Quarter 2017 Financial ResultsOwens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE: OMI) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017, including consolidated revenues of $2.33 billion, compared to revenues of $2.42 billion in the third quarter of 2016. Consolidated operating earnings for the third quarter of 2017 were $29.7 million, compared to $53.6 million in last year's third quarter. Adjusted consolidated operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the third quarter were $48.5 million, compared to $58.8 million for the same period last year. Quarterly net income was $10.9 million, or $0.18 per share, compared to $0.48 per share for the third quarter last year. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $24.3 million, or $0.40 per share, compared to $0.54 per share in last year's third quarter. Today, Owens & Minor also announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the surgical & infection prevention (S&IP) business of Halyard Health Inc. in a $710 million all cash transaction that, subject to regulatory approval, including Hart-Scott-Rodino, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018. The quarterly change in revenues resulted primarily from the previously discussed transition of a significant customer in 2016, as well as one less sales day in the third quarter of 2017 and lower growth with existing customers when compared to 2016. Quarterly operating earnings were negatively affected by revenue shortfalls, as well as ongoing margin pressure in our domestic distribution business and increased costs to support new business in Europe. Partially offsetting these factors were benefits derived from expense control and productivity initiatives, as well as positive contributions from Byram Healthcare, which the company acquired on August 1, 2017. Byram's results are included in the Domestic segment. Quarterly net income and earnings per share reflect the impact of an increase in our effective tax rate, which resulted primarily from a higher proportion of pre-tax income from higher tax rate jurisdictions. "We are excited about the Halyard S&IP transaction. This is the largest acquisition in the company's history and represents a significant step in strengthening and diversifying our business. Halyard is a market leader in the prevention of healthcare-associated infections, and its differentiated portfolio of products and services is highly complementary to our existing business," said P. Cody Phipps, chairman, president, & chief executive officer of Owens & Minor. "While we are disappointed with our quarterly results, we continue to make meaningful progress with our business transformation and the execution of our four-part strategy. We remain focused on improving our operating performance and enhancing our value proposition. Both Byram and Halyard represent meaningful steps in the transformation of our business." Year-to-Date 2017 Results For the first nine months of 2017, consolidated revenues were $6.93 billion compared to revenues of $7.36 billion in the first nine months of 2016. Consolidated operating earnings for the 2017 year to date period were $98.0 million, compared to $151 million in the same period last year. Adjusted consolidated operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the first nine months of 2017 were $138 million, compared to $178 million for the same period last year. Net income for the first nine months of the year was $49.8 million, or $0.82 per share, compared to $1.32 per share for the same period last year. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $76.5 million, or $1.26 per share, compared to $1.62 per share in the first nine months of last year. Segment Results Segment financial results for the quarter are shown in the financial tables included with this release. Segment results include:
Revised Financial Guidance and Outlook The company has revised its outlook for non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in 2017 to a range of $1.75 to $1.85, from a previous range of $1.90 to $2.00. For 2018, the company plans to provide updated guidance upon the close of the Halyard transaction, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2018. Although the company does provide guidance for adjusted earnings per share (which is a non-GAAP financial measure), it is not able to forecast the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Certain elements of the composition of the GAAP amounts are not predictable, making it impractical for the company to forecast without unreasonable efforts. Such elements include, but are not limited to restructuring and acquisition charges. As a result, no GAAP guidance is provided. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on its future GAAP financial results. The outlook is based on certain assumptions that are subject to the risk factors discussed in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Upcoming Investor Events Owens & Minor is scheduled to participate in a number of investor conferences in the fourth quarter of 2017; webcasts of formal presentations will be posted on the company's corporate website:

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 2017 were primarily transaction and transition costs associated with the acquisition of Byram and the upcoming Halyard S&IP transaction. The prior year amounts related primarily to costs incurred to settle certain obligations and address other on-going matters associated with the acquisitions of ArcRoyal and Medical Action. (2) Exit and realignment charges in 2017 were associated with severance from reduction in force and other employee costs associated with the establishment of our new client engagement centers, the write-down of information system assets which are no longer used and other IT restructuring charges. Expenses associated with the establishment of the client engagement center will continue to be recorded throughout 2017. Charges in 2016 included severance activities and other costs associated with our strategic organizational realignment which included certain professional fees and costs to streamline administrative functions and processes in the United States and Europe. (3) Acquisition-related intangible amortization includes amortization of certain intangible assets established during purchase accounting for business combinations. These amounts are highly dependent on the size and frequency of acquisitions and are being excluded to allow for a more consistent comparison with forecasted, current and historical results and the results of our peers. We began to exclude these charges from our non-GAAP results in the second quarter of 2017 and thus prior year amounts have been recast on the same basis. Full year 2016 intangible amortization was $10.0 million or $0.12 per share. (4) Software as a Service (SaaS) implementation costs associated with the upgrading of global IT platforms in connection with the redesign of our global information system strategy. (5)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.
