Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE: OMI) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, including consolidated revenues of $2.27 billion, compared to revenues of $2.48 billion in the second quarter of 2016. Quarterly net income was $20.1 million, or $0.33 per share, compared to $27.7 million, or $0.45 per share, for the second quarter last year. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $25.8 million, or $0.43 per share, compared to $0.55 per share in last year’s second quarter.

With the closing of the Byram Healthcare acquisition, Owens & Minor has adopted a revised non-GAAP presentation that excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets in addition to items currently excluded. A reconciliation of reported results to adjusted (non-GAAP) measures is included below. Similar to the first quarter of 2017, the quarterly decrease in revenues and earnings resulted primarily from the previously discussed transition of a significant customer in 2016, as well as increased production costs in our Proprietary Products segment and ongoing margin pressure in our Domestic distribution business. Offsetting these factors were benefits from cost control and productivity initiatives, as well as a one-time benefit from the release of an income tax valuation allowance in Europe, resulting from improved operating performance.

Consolidated operating earnings for the second quarter of 2017 were $32.8 million, compared to $52.1 million in last year’s second quarter. Adjusted consolidated operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the second quarter were $41.4 million, compared to $61.3 million for the same period last year.

“We are pleased to have successfully closed the acquisition of Byram Healthcare, and we welcome these new teammates into our organization. Acquiring Byram Healthcare represents an important step toward accelerating our strategy to expand our services along the continuum of care,” said P. Cody Phipps, chairman, president & chief executive officer of Owens & Minor. “As we have previously said, the first half of 2017 was challenging, but we remain committed to improving our performance, as we continue to execute our strategy.”

Year-to-Date 2017 Results

For the first six months of 2017, consolidated revenues were $4.59 billion, compared to revenues of $4.94 billion in the first six months of 2016. Net income for the first half of the year was $38.9 million, or $0.64 per share, compared to $0.83 per share for the same period last year. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $52.3 million, or $0.86 per share, compared to $1.08 per share in the first six months of last year.

Consolidated operating earnings for the first half of 2017 were $68.4 million, compared to $97.0 million in the same period last year. Adjusted consolidated operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the first six months of 2017 were $89.1 million, compared to $119 million for the same period last year.

Acquisition of Byram Healthcare

Owens & Minor also announced that it has closed the previously announced acquisition of Byram Healthcare for $380 million. Byram Healthcare, a leading national distributor of direct-to-patient medical supplies, will accelerate Owens & Minor’s strategic plan to expand its services along the continuum of care. As part of the transaction, Owens & Minor executed a refinancing of its bank credit facility and expanded it to $600 million and executed a term loan of $250 million, both of which are due in 2022. Owens & Minor expects the transaction to be modestly accretive to earnings in 2017, and anticipates further accretion to earnings in 2018.

Segment Results

Segment financial results for the quarter are shown in the financial tables included with this release. Segment results include:

  • Domestic Segment quarterly revenues were $2.13 billion, compared to $2.35 billion a year ago; operating earnings were $29.5 million, compared to $43.5 million for the same period last year.
  • International Segment quarterly revenues were $95.9 million, compared to $88.6 million last year; operating earnings were $0.8 million, compared to $0.9 million in last year’s second quarter.
  • Proprietary Products Segment quarterly revenues were $131 million, compared to $135 million in the prior year quarter; operating earnings were $8.8 million versus $14.3 million last year.

Revised Financial Guidance and Outlook

As a result of the closing of the Byram Healthcare transaction and the adoption of a revised non-GAAP presentation, Owens & Minor is revising its guidance on an adjusted basis (non-GAAP) for 2017 and 2018. The revised outlook for non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in 2017 is $1.90 to $2.00. For 2018, the company is updating guidance to $2.25 to $2.35 per share on an adjusted basis (non-GAAP). The company believes that its strategic plan and the acquisition of Byram Healthcare will enable Owens & Minor to achieve its stated 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 in the first and second quarters of 2017 were primarily transaction and transition costs associated with the acquisition of Byram Healthcare. The prior year amounts related primarily to costs incurred to settle certain obligations and address other on-going matters associated with the acquisitions of ArcRoyal and Medical Action.

(2) Exit and realignment charges 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. Expenses associated with the establishment of the client engagement center will continue to be recorded throughout 2017. Charges in 2016 included 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.

(3) Acquisition-related intangible amortization includes amortization of certain 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. We have begun to exclude these charges from our non-GAAP results in the second quarter of 2017 and thus prior year amounts have been recast on the same basis. Full year 2016 intangible amortization was $10.0 million or $0.12 per share.

(4) Software as a Service (SaaS) implementation costs associated with significant global IT platforms in connection with the redesign of our global information system strategy.

(5)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.
