• Consolidated quarterly revenues were $2.42 billion

RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE:OMI) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, including consolidated revenues of $2.42 billion, a decline of 2.3% when compared to revenues of $2.47 billion in the prior year period. Quarterly net income improved to $29.8 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $0.45 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2015. Quarterly adjusted net income (non-GAAP), was $31.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to $0.54 per diluted share in last year's third quarter. Revenue and earnings declines in the third quarter are primarily attributable to the previously discussed exit of a large Domestic customer, which transitioned substantially in August. A reconciliation of reported results to adjusted (non-GAAP) measures is included below.

Consolidated operating earnings for the third quarter of 2016 were $53.6 million, or 2.22% of revenues, essentially unchanged when compared to the third quarter last year. Adjusted consolidated operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the third quarter of 2016 were $56.3 million, or 2.33% of revenues, decreased by $3.4 million, when compared to the prior year period.

"I'm pleased with our execution focus. Our teams achieved solid results for the quarter and successfully managed through the exit of a large customer," said P. Cody Phipps, president & chief executive officer of Owens & Minor. "We have made steady progress in managing costs and improving productivity, while we begin to execute our strategic plan for the future. The healthcare industry continues to evolve, and we are taking steps to reposition Owens & Minor for success in a changing environment."

2016 Year-to-Date Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, consolidated revenues were $7.36 billion, an increase of 1.0%, when compared to revenues of $7.29 billion in the first nine months of 2015. Net income for the first nine months of 2016 was $81.7 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, compared favorably to net income of $71.3 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the year-to-date period was $95.0 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, compared to $90.2 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, last year. The increase in net income per diluted share resulted from improved operating earnings in the company's Domestic and International segments.

Consolidated operating earnings for the first nine months of 2016 were $151 million, or 2.05% of revenues, representing an increase of $8.2 million, when compared to the same period of 2015. On an adjusted basis, consolidated operating earnings for the year-to-date period improved $6.4 million to $171 million, or 2.32% of revenues.

Asset Management

The balance of cash and cash equivalents was $213 million at September 30, 2016. For the year-to-date period of 2016, the company reported cash provided by operating activities of $144 million. Asset management metrics for the quarter included: consolidated days sales outstanding (DSO) of 21.1 days, as of September 30, 2016, compared to DSO of 23.0 days, as of September 30, 2015. Consolidated inventory turns were 8.9 turns compared to 9.5 turns for 2015.

Segment Results

Domestic segment revenues for the third quarter of 2016 were $2.29 billion, a decrease of 1.5% when compared to the prior year's third quarter results. For the year-to-date period of 2016, Domestic segment revenues improved 1.5% to $6.95 billion when compared to the same period last year. The improvement in Domestic segment revenue was driven by growth with large healthcare provider customers which was offset in the quarter by the previously announced exit of a large Domestic customer. An additional selling day in the first quarter of 2016 also contributed to the year-to-date improvement. For the third quarter of 2016, Domestic segment operating earnings declined nearly $1.0 million to $41.0 million, or 1.79% of segment revenues. For the year-to-date period, Domestic segment operating earnings were $126 million, or 1.81% of segment revenues, a $7.7 million or 6.5% improvement, over the same period of 2015. Segment operating earnings reflected the benefits of solid revenue growth and expense control initiatives, partially offset by a year-over-year decline in income from manufacturer product price changes and the customer exit in the third quarter.

The International segment contributed revenues of $83.8 million for the third quarter of 2016 and $256 million in revenues for the year-to-date period, representing declines of $9.0 million and $25.3 million respectively. Revenues were also affected by the unfavorable foreign currency impacts of $7.6 million and $12.8 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, as well as the previously discussed exit of a customer in July 2015. The International segment reported operating earnings of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2016, and $3.4 million for the year-to-date period, as a result of improved performance in the U.K. and continued profitable results across the regions.

Clinical & Procedural Solutions (CPS) revenues for the third quarter of 2016 were $133 million compared to $144 million in the same period last year. For the year-to-date period, CPS revenues were $409 million, unchanged when compared to the prior year period. Third quarter operating earnings for the CPS segment were $14.3 million, a decline of $2.3 million. For the year-to-date period, operating earnings were $41.9 million, compared to $43.6 million in the same period last year. CPS results reflect the impact of lower revenues in the third quarter.

"With increasing customer cost pressures and competitive dynamics in healthcare, we anticipate that we will experience increased margin pressures in the fourth quarter and next year," said Richard A. Meier, executive vice president & chief financial officer, and president-International of Owens & Minor. "We are taking appropriate steps to manage these pressures, while at the same time, focusing on the implementation of our strategic plan."

2016 Outlook

The company affirmed its financial guidance for 2016 of adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $2.00 to $2.05.

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 second and third quarter of 2016 primarily relate to costs incurred to settle certain obligations and address other on-going matters associated with the acquisitions of ArcRoyal and Medical Action. 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⁾ Charges in 2016 were associated with severance activities (including our voluntary employee separation program in the first quarter of 2016), and other costs associated with our strategic organizational realignment which include certain professional fees and costs to streamline administrative functions and processes in the United States and Europe. Similar charges in 2015 also included the consolidation of distribution and logistics centers and closure of offsite warehouses.

⁽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.

⁽⁴⁾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.
