Owens & Minor Reports 3rd Quarter 2019 Financial Results


RICHMOND, VA - November 6, 2019 - Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE-OMI) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019, as summarized in the table below.

“I am excited to announce that we had another quarter with significant sequential improvement. Our third quarter results show back-to-back quarters of sequential growth in operating income and EPS, expansion of quarterly operating cash flow, additional reduction in working capital and an increased pace of debt pay down. This is a result of our teammates actively embracing our focus around serving our customers and driving productivity,” said Edward A. Pesicka, President & Chief Executive Officer of Owens & Minor.

“Additionally, we have improved our service metrics to levels that have not been achieved in years. The strong performance and consistency of our service gives us confidence that many of the past service issues have been resolved, however we will continue to drive additional initiatives to further improve and provide innovative services. We continue to focus on productivity and efficiency initiatives to drive operating improvements in our core businesses: distribution channel, product manufacturing, home healthcare, and acute care services. While we are ahead of the long-term recovery plan I envisioned when I joined in March, we recognize that there is still a significant amount of work ahead. We will not take our customers for granted and will continue to provide a high level of customer focus while maintaining industry-leading integrity.”

1. Reconciliations of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this news release and their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables below.
2. Year-to-date comparisons to prior year results are impacted by the second quarter 2018 goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge of
$165 million, or $2.73 per share. This charge was classified as a non-GAAP item and, accordingly, did not affect results reported on an adjusted basis.
3. Adjusted net income per share, non-GAAP at 2018 foreign currency exchange rates.






2019 Results
•
Foreign exchange negatively impacted net income per share and adjusted net income per share by $0.02 for both the quarter and year-to-date. On a constant currency basis, adjusted net income per share was $0.22 for the third quarter and $0.34 on a year-to-date basis.
•
Compared to prior year, quarterly revenues declined 2.7%, and year-to-date revenues grew 0.7% (2.4% decline and 1.0% increase, respectively, on a constant currency basis).
◦
The changes in quarterly and year-to-date revenues were driven by increased sales from Global Products and certain business lines within Global Solutions, offset by lower distribution sales.
•
Quarterly and year-to-date operating results reflect margin expansion from improved sales mix offset by expenses to support business growth and new customer solutions as well as delayed revenue associated with Fusion5. 
•
Interest expense increased $2.1 million for the quarter and $28.1 million year-to-date compared to prior year.


Highlights
•
On a sequential basis, during the third quarter of 2019 the Company achieved operating income growth of 57% and adjusted operating income growth of 15%.
•
On a sequential basis, net income and adjusted net income per share increased $0.20 and $0.10, respectively.
•
The Company generated $110 million of operating cash flow in the third quarter; total of $200 million in operating cash flow generated in the second and third quarters.
•
Reduced debt by $72 million in the third quarter; $130 million total reduction in debt over the second and third quarters.
•
On a sequential basis, interest expense for the quarter decreased $1.7 million.
•
Achieved historically strong service levels.
•
Byram continues strong top-line and bottom-line performance.
•
Successfully exited transition service agreements related to the Halyard S&IP acquisition.
•
Mark Beck, former President and Chief Executive Officer of JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. and Robert Henkel, former President and Chief Executive Officer of Ascension Health, Inc. were elected to Board of Directors in the third quarter.


Financial Outlook
For 2019, the Company is adjusting its previously issued guidance range for the timing and amount of anticipated revenue from its early stage value-based care management business (Fusion5) as follows:

 
Adjusted net income per share range, excluding foreign currency impact
Narrowed guidance range
$0.60
$0.65
Impact of Fusion5 revenue amount and timing
(0.06)
(0.06)
 
$0.54
$0.59

Excluding the impact of Fusion5 and foreign currency, the company now expects 2019 adjusted net income per share to be in a range of $0.60 to $0.65.

Although the company does provide guidance for adjusted net income 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 without unreasonable effort. Certain elements of the composition of the GAAP amount are not predictable, making it impracticable for the company to forecast. Such elements include, but are not limited to restructuring and acquisition charges. As a result, no GAAP guidance or reconciliation of the company’s adjusted net income per share guidance is provided. For the same reasons, the company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a 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 (“SEC”).




Dividend Information
The Board of Directors approved a fourth quarter dividend payment of $0.0025 per share, payable on December 31, 2019, to shareholders of record as of December 16, 2019.

Owens & Minor, Inc.
GAAP/Non-GAAP Reconciliations (unaudited), continued

The following items have been excluded in our non-GAAP financial measures:

(1) Intangible amortization includes amortization of 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.
(2) Acquisition-related charges were $3.6 million and $11.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $5.7 million and $41.0 million for the same period of 2018. Acquisition-related charges in 2019 and 2018 consist primarily of transition and transaction costs for the Halyard transaction.
Exit and realignment charges were $1.4 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Amounts in 2019 were associated with severance costs, the establishment of our client engagement centers, and IT restructuring charges. Exit and realignment charges were $2.0 million and $6.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Amounts in 2018 were associated with the establishment of our client engagement centers.
(3) Other consists of Software as a Service (SaaS) implementation costs associated with significant global IT platforms in connection with the redesign of our global information system strategy of $1.1 million and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Other also consists of the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the revolving credit facility as a result of the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement in February 2019 of $2.0 million and gain on extinguishment of debt related to the partial repurchase of our 2021 Notes in September 2019 of $0.2 million.
(4) Goodwill and intangible assets impairment charges in 2018 included in our Global Products segment were $149 million and $16.5 million, respectively.
(5) The second and third quarters of 2018 include an incremental charge to cost of goods sold from purchase accounting impacts related to the sale of acquired inventory that was written up to fair value in connection with the Halyard acquisition.
(6) Includes tax adjustments primarily associated with the estimated benefits under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
(7) 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.
(8) Excludes the impact of translational currency, which assumes 2019 results at 2018 rates.


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 substitutes 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.
