Owens & Minor Reports 1st Quarter 2017 Financial Results and Announces Acquisition

May 2, 2017 at 7:05 PM EDT

  • Owens & Minor signs definitive purchase agreement to acquire Byram Healthcare
  • Consolidated quarterly revenues were $2.33 billion vs. $2.46 billion a year ago
  • Operating earnings were $35.5 million; non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings were $45.4 million
  • EPS for the quarter was $0.31, while non-GAAP adjusted EPS was $0.41

RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE: OMI) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, including consolidated revenues of $2.33 billion, representing a decrease of 5.2%, when compared to revenues of $2.46 billion in the first quarter of 2016. Quarterly net income was $18.8 million, or $0.31 per share, compared to $0.39 for the first quarter last year. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $24.8 million, or $0.41 per share, compared to $0.50 per share in last year's first quarter. The decrease in earnings resulted primarily from the previously discussed transition of a significant customer in 2016, as well as operating challenges associated with onboarding a large Proprietary Products customer and ongoing margin pressure in our Domestic distribution business. A reconciliation of reported results to adjusted (non-GAAP) measures is included below.

Consolidated operating earnings for the first quarter of 2017 were $35.5 million, or 1.53% of revenues, compared to $45.0 million in last year's first quarter. Adjusted consolidated operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the first quarter were $45.4 million, or 1.95% of revenues, compared to $55.5 million for the same period last year.

"Despite underperformance in certain areas of our business, overall results were in line with our expectations," said P. Cody Phipps, president & chief executive officer of Owens & Minor. "We remain focused on taking actions to improve our operating performance and moving quickly to execute our strategy to reposition Owens & Minor for sustained profitable growth."

The company also announced that it has signed a definitive purchase agreement to acquire Byram Healthcare, a leading national distributor of direct-to-patient medical supplies. The acquisition of Byram will enable Owens & Minor to accelerate its strategic plan to expand its services along the continuum of care. Owens & Minor does not expect the transaction to be meaningfully accretive to earnings in 2017, but it does anticipate modest accretion to earnings in 2018. (See the transaction press release issued by Owens & Minor on May 2, 2017.)

Segment Results

As mentioned at its recent Investor Day event, Owens & Minor has renamed its Clinical & Procedural Solutions (CPS) segment as the Proprietary Products Segment, which encompasses its CPS business segment, as well as Global Sourcing. Segment financial results are shown in the financial tables included with this release. Segment results include:

  • Domestic Segment quarterly revenues were $2.19 billion compared to $2.32 billion a year ago; operating earnings were $37.3 million compared to $41.7 million for the same period last year.
  • International Segment quarterly revenues were $95.0 million compared to $83.6 million last year; operating earnings were $0.7 million compared to $1.1 million in last year's first quarter.
  • Proprietary Products Segment quarterly revenues were $137 million compared to $141 million in the prior year quarter; operating earnings were $8.1 million versus $13.3 million last year.

Financial Guidance and Outlook

Owens & Minor is affirming its guidance for 2017 earnings on an adjusted basis (non-GAAP) in a range of $1.75 to $1.85 per share. For 2018, the company is affirming guidance of $2.05 to $2.20 per share on an adjusted basis (non-GAAP). The company believes that its strategic plan and associated investments will enable Owens & Minor to achieve its stated long-term goal of high single-digit growth rates in subsequent years.

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. Such elements include, but are not limited to restructuring and acquisition charges. As a result, no GAAP 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 Securities & Exchange Commission.

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, pre-tax, were $1.3 million and $(0.4) million in the first quarter of 2017 and 2016. Current year charges were primarily transaction costs associated with the pending acquisition of Byram Healthcare. The prior year amount related to the gain on the sale of property acquired with the Medical Action acquisition.
 
(2) Exit and realignment charges, pre-tax, were $7.6 million and $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 and 2016. Amounts in 2017 were associated with the write-down of information system assets which are no longer used and severance charges from reduction in force and other employee costs associated with the establishment of our new client engagement center. Charges in the first quarter of 2016 primarily included costs associated with our voluntary employee separation program and other severance charges.
 
(3) Software as a Service (SaaS) implementation costs associated with significant global IT platforms in connection with the redesign of our global information system strategy.
 
(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.
