Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE-OMI) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012, including consolidated quarterly revenue of $2.18 billion, unchanged when compared to revenue in the third quarter of 2011. The company's August 31, 2012, acquisition of the Movianto Group (Movianto) from Celesio AG contributed $49.7 million to revenue for the quarter, representing one month's revenue. Consolidated net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $24.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to $33.4 million, or $0.53 per share, in the same period of 2011. Pre-tax costs associated with the Movianto acquisition were approximately $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2012, which reduced quarterly net income per diluted share by approximately $0.10.

"With the third party logistics capabilities of the Movianto acquisition and our core U.S. hospital distribution and supply chain services business, Owens & Minor now has global reach with a solid platform for providing third party logistics and other supply chain services," said Craig R. Smith, president & chief executive officer of Owens & Minor. "We believe this acquisition will improve the capacity of our company to serve healthcare providers and manufacturers with efficiency and innovation in a rapidly changing industry. We see emerging opportunity in healthcare and a widening path for Owens & Minor, as we position ourselves for the future."

Adjusted consolidated operating earnings for the third quarter of 2012, which exclude $7.8 million of costs associated with the Movianto acquisition, were $54.5 million, or 2.50% of revenues, a decrease of $4.3 million, when compared to $58.8 million, or 2.70% of revenues, in the prior-year third quarter. Included with the press release financial tables are reconciliations of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this news release, which exclude acquisition-related expenses, and their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Year-to-Date Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, consolidated revenue was $6.58 billion, increased $151.2 million, or 2.4%, when compared to revenue of $6.43 billion for the same period of 2011. On a year-to-date basis, Movianto contributed revenues of $49.7 million. Consolidated net income for the first nine months of 2012 was $84.1 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, a decrease of $7.2 million when compared to net income of $91.3 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, for the same period of 2011. On a year-to-date basis, costs associated with the Movianto acquisition were approximately $8.4 million, which reduced net income by approximately $0.11 per diluted share.

For the first nine months of 2012, adjusted consolidated operating earnings, excluding Movianto acquisition-related costs, were $160.2 million, or 2.43% of revenues, essentially unchanged, when compared to operating earnings of $160.9 million, or 2.50% of revenues, for the same period last year.

"As we reflect on the third quarter 2012 results, we are targeting the fourth quarter 2012 adjusted operating results to be similar to those reported this quarter," said James L. Bierman, executive vice president & chief operating officer of Owens & Minor. "As our outlook further evolves, we will provide additional details at our annual Investor Day."

Segment Discussion

As a result of the August 31, 2012 acquisition of Movianto, Owens & Minor will now report Movianto as a separate International business segment. Prior to the acquisition, Owens & Minor had one reportable business segment, which now comprises the Domestic business segment. Accordingly, the Domestic business segment includes traditional distribution, OM HealthCare Logistics, and other supply-chain management services, such as OM SolutionsSM, which provide solutions to healthcare providers and suppliers of medical and surgical products in the United States. Additional information on segment results is provided in the accompanying financial tables.

Domestic Segment

In the third quarter of 2012, Domestic revenues were $2.13 billion, a decrease of $46.5 million compared to the same quarter of 2011. The decline resulted from a combination of factors, including: one less sales day in the quarter, lower comparative utilization of healthcare services coupled with reduced product price inflation, and a lower level of government purchasing, as well as ongoing rationalization of the company's supplier base.

Operating earnings for the Domestic segment for the third quarter of 2012 were $55.1 million compared to $58.8 million in the same period of 2011, a decrease of $3.7 million. The quarterly decrease in Domestic operating earnings is attributable to lower Domestic segment revenues and gross margin, partially offset by a $6.6 million improvement in SG&A expenses, when compared to the third quarter of 2011. As a percentage of revenues, Domestic operating earnings were 2.59% for the third quarter of 2012, representing a quarter-over-quarter decline of 11 basis points when compared to the same period of 2011, but also representing a 13 basis-point sequential improvement when compared to the second quarter of 2012.

International Segment

Revenues in the International segment were $49.7 million for the third quarter of 2012, reflecting one month's contribution to the third quarter results, which were not included in results in the same quarter one year ago.

For the third quarter of 2012, the International segment had an operating loss of less than $1 million.

Movianto Update

After completing the acquisition of Movianto, a leading European healthcare third-party logistics (3PL) business, Owens & Minor immediately launched the transition process. These activities include transitioning corporate functions previously handled by Movianto's parent company.

With the acquisition, Owens & Minor secured a third-party-logistics (3PL) platform that currently serves approximately 600 pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturer customers globally from 23 logistics centers in 11 European countries with approximately 1,800 teammates. Movianto provides a range of 3PL services including, warehousing, transportation, and cold chain logistics, as well as value-added services such as order-to-cash, repackaging and relabeling of products. Movianto's operational capabilities and services are highly complementary to those of OM HealthCare Logistics, Owens & Minor's domestic healthcare 3PL service, and the combination will enable Owens & Minor to offer healthcare manufacturers in the U.S. and Europe expanded global reach.

Asset Management

The balance of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2012, was $79.7 million, decreased from $135.9 million at December 31, 2011. The acquisition of Movianto used cash of approximately $150 million, net of cash acquired. Total interest-bearing debt as of September 30, 2012, was $217 million, compared to $215 million as of December 31, 2011. Domestic days sales outstanding (DSO) as of September 30, 2012, was 20.7, compared to DSO of 20.6 days at the end of the prior year's third quarter. Domestic inventory turns were 10.2 compared to turns of 10.3 for the same period last year.

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.
