Total Debt Reduction of $244 Million in 2024, Capping a Two-Year Total Debt Reduction of $647 Million

2025 Guidance Midpoint Indicates Double-Digit Adjusted EBITDA & Adjusted EPS Growth, and Improving Cash Flow

Active Discussions Well Underway Regarding Potential Sale of Products & Healthcare Services (P&HS) Segment

Board of Directors Authorizes Share Repurchase Program of Up to $100 Million

RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 28, 2025-- Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE: OMI)today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.

“We are pleased with the progress that we have made against the strategy as outlined at our Investor Day in December 2023. As a reminder, we committed to optimizing our Products & Healthcare Services business, leveraging our leading Patient Direct platform, and building balance sheet flexibility through deleveraging. Within P&HS we continue to see momentum in broadening our product portfolio, developing a streamlined and efficient manufacturing footprint, and enhancing our distribution capabilities. Within Patient Direct, we continue to leverage our footprint and broad product offering to support home-based care for millions of patients with chronic conditions. These capabilities, combined with positive demographic trends and expanding home treatment options, leaves us very bullish on the future of this business. Finally, we repaid $647 million of debt over the last two years which helps provide the financial flexibility to pursue the acquisition of Rotech - which we believe will drive long-term shareholder value,” said Edward A. Pesicka, President & Chief Executive Officer of Owens & Minor.

Pesicka added, “Our commitment to directing capital toward the higher growth and higher margin Patient Direct segment has been increasingly evident in recent years and is consistent with our strategy. As a logical next step, we have been actively engaged in robust discussions regarding the potential sale of our Products & Healthcare Services segment.”

Pesicka concluded, “In the meantime, we remain focused on delivering a strong 2025 and are confident in our ability to achieve double-digit adjusted EBITDA growth while improving cash flow.”

Share Repurchase Authorization

On February 26, 2025, the Owens & Minor Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100 million over the next 24 months. Under the program, Owens & Minor may repurchase shares of common stock on a discretionary basis from time to time through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions and 10b5-1 trading plans.

2025 Financial Outlook

The Company issued its outlook for 2025; summarized below:

• Revenue for 2025 to be in a range of $10.85 billion to $11.15 billion
• Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 to be in a range of $560 million to $590 million
• Adjusted EPS for 2025 to be in a range of $1.60 to $1.85

The Company’s outlook for 2025 excludes any impact of the previously announced Rotech acquisition, any potential transaction involving the Products & Healthcare Services segment, or share repurchase activity, and contains assumptions, including current expectations regarding the impact of general economic conditions.

Key assumptions supporting the Company’s 2025 financial guidance include:

• Gross margin of 20.75% to 21.25%
• Interest expense of $138 million to $142 million
• Adjusted effective tax rate of 29.0% to 30.0%
• Diluted weighted average shares of ~80 million
• Capital expenditures, gross, of $250 million to $270 million
• Stable commodity prices
• FX rates as of 12/31/2024

Although the Company does provide guidance for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS (which are non-GAAP financial measures), it is not able to forecast the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. Certain elements of the composition of the GAAP amounts are not predictable, making it impracticable for the Company to forecast. Such elements include, but are not limited to, exit and realignment charges and acquisition-related charges, which could have a significant and unpredictable impact on our GAAP results. As a result, no GAAP guidance or reconciliation of the Company’s adjusted EBITDA guidance or adjusted EPS guidance is provided. The outlook is based on certain assumptions that are subject to the risk factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

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

⁽¹⁾ Acquisition-related charges and intangible amortization for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 includes $11 million and $22 million of acquisition-related costs related to the expected acquisition of Rotech, which consisted primarily of legal and professional fees. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred $6 million and $18 million of acquisition-related costs, consisting of costs primarily related to the acquisition of Apria, Inc., as well as amortization of intangible assets established during acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Acquisition-related charges consist primarily of one-time costs related to acquisitions, including transaction costs necessary to consummate acquisitions, which consist of investment banking advisory fees and legal fees, director and officer tail insurance expense, as well as transition costs, such as severance and retention bonuses, information technology (IT) integration costs and professional fees. 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.

⁽²⁾ During the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 exit and realignment charges, net were $25 million and $110 million. These charges primarily related to our (1) Operating Model Realignment Program of $19 million and $95 million, including professional fees, severance, and other costs to streamline functions and processes, (2) costs related to IT strategic initiatives such as converting certain divisions to common IT systems of $1.2 million and $15 million and (3) other costs associated with strategic initiatives of $4.8 million and $7.5 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024. Exit and realignment charges, net also included a $7.4 million gain on the sale of our corporate headquarters for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, exit and realignment charges, net were $24 million and $99 million. These charges primarily related to our (1) Operating Model Realignment Program of $19 million and $83 million, including professional fees, severance and other costs to streamline functions and processes, (2) IT strategic initiatives such as converting to common IT systems of $2.5 million and $9.2 million and, (3) other costs associated with strategic initiatives of $2.7 million and $7.0 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023. These costs are not normal recurring, cash operating expenses necessary for the Company to operate its business on an ongoing basis.

⁽³⁾ Goodwill impairment chargerelates to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge recognized in the Apria reporting unit during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 resulting from a combination of factors, including fourth quarter 2024 market changes inclusive of a decline in Owens & Minor’s stock price and rising interest rates. Additionally, anticipated changes in pricing of a capitated contract within the Apria division also contributed to this charge. This is a non-cash charge and does not occur in the ordinary course of our business and is inherently unpredictable in timing and amount.

⁽⁴⁾ Litigation and related charges includes settlement costs and related charges of legal matters within our Apria division. These costs do not occur in the ordinary course of our business, are non-recurring/infrequent and are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount.

⁽⁵⁾ For the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, other includes interest costs and net actuarial losses related to our frozen noncontributory, unfunded retirement plan for certain retirees in the United States (U.S.). Additionally, other for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 includes losses on extinguishment of debt of $0.8 million and $1.1 million.

⁽⁶⁾ These charges have been tax effected 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.

⁽⁷⁾ One-time income tax charge, recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2024, excluding the impact of incremental interest, relates to a recent decision associated with the Notice of Proposed Adjustments received in 2020 and 2021. The matter at hand, as discussed in previously filed SEC documents, is related to past transfer pricing methodology which is no longer employed. We believe the matter will be concluded without further impact to our financial results.

⁽⁸⁾ Other depreciation and amortization relates to property and equipment and capitalized computer software, excluding such amounts captured within exit and realignment charges, net or acquisition-related charges and intangible amortization.

⁽⁹⁾ Stock compensation includes share-based compensation expense related to our share-based compensation plans, excluding such amounts captured within exit and realignment charges, net or acquisition-related charges and intangible amortization.

⁽¹⁰⁾ LIFO (credits) and charges includes non-cash adjustments to merchandise inventories valued at the lower of cost or market, with the approximate cost determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for distribution inventories in the U.S. within our Products & Healthcare Services segment.

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.
