RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE-OMI) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2021, as summarized in the table below.

“We’re pleased to deliver another quarter of excellent growth on the top and bottom line as we continue to execute on the Owens & Minor business blueprint. Our first quarter results reflect strong operational execution across the company, powered by continued strength in global products and favorable market dynamics including an uptick in elective procedures in March,” said Edward A. Pesicka, President & Chief Executive Officer of Owens & Minor. “We also recapitalized our debt structure, thereby improving our strategic and operational flexibility.”

Pesicka added, “We have raised our full-year guidance range for adjusted net income to $3.75 to $4.25 per share. The increased guidance is in light of the strong first quarter performance, our favorable outlook around elective procedures, and improved line of sight toward PPE demand into the third quarter.”

1st Quarter 2021 Highlights

  • Significant increase in year-over-year first quarter earnings was driven by sales growth, market dynamics, product mix, and operating efficiencies
    • 638 basis point gross margin expansion
    • $135 million increase in adjusted operating income
    • $9.7 million or 41% decrease in interest expense
    • Almost 40x increase in adjusted net income per share
  • Revenue growth when compared to prior year was driven by increased demand for PPE, cost pass-through in gloves, along with strong performance in our Byram Patient Direct business, which was partially offset by fewer elective procedures and one less selling day
  • Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
    • Successfully issued $500 million senior unsecured notes due in 2029, extending debt maturities and improving liquidity. Proceeds of the issue were used to retire higher-cost and shorter-dated debt.
    • Entered into a new 5-year, $300 million revolving credit facility, and a newly amended three-year $450 million accounts receivable securitization facility
    • Generated $25 million of operating cash flow in the first quarter, as a result of increased earnings, partially offset by working capital investments

Financial Outlook

The Company expects adjusted net income for 2021 to be in a range of $3.75 to $4.25 per share and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $450 million to $500 million, based on the key assumptions below:

  • Continued favorable outlook around elective procedures for the remainder of the year
  • Improved line of sight for PPE sales into the third quarter
  • Reduction in interest expense as a result of recapitalized debt structure with lower base rates

Although the Company does provide guidance for adjusted net income per share and Adjusted EBITDA (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 restructuring and acquisition charges. As a result, no GAAP guidance or reconciliation of the Company’s adjusted net income per share guidance or Adjusted EBITDA guidance is provided. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially significant impact on its future GAAP financial results. The outlook is based on certain assumptions that are subject to the risk factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Dividend Information

The Board of Directors approved a second quarter 2021 dividend payment of $0.0025 per share, payable on June 30, 2021, to shareholders of record as of June 15, 2021.

GAAP/Non-GAAP Reconciliations (unaudited), continued

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

(1) Intangible amortization includes amortization of 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.

(2) There were no acquisition-related charges for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $4.2 million for the same period of 2020, which consisted primarily of transition costs for the Halyard acquisition. Exit and realignment charges were $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and consisted primarily of an increase in reserves associated with certain retained assets of Fusion5, IT restructuring charges and other costs related to the reorganization of the U.S. commercial, operations and executive teams. Exit and realignment charges were $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and consisted primarily of IT restructuring charges and other costs related to the reorganization of the U.S. commercial, operations and executive teams.

(3) Loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2021 includes the write-off of deferred financing costs and third party fees associated with the debt refinancing in March 2021 of $15.3 million and amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as a result of the termination of our interest rate swaps of $25.1 million. Loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily includes the write-off of deferred financing costs and third party fees.

(4) Other includes interest costs and net actuarial losses related to our retirement plans.

(5) Includes a tax adjustment associated with the estimated benefits under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

(6) 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.

(7) Other depreciation and amortization includes depreciation expense for property and equipment and amortization for capitalized computer software.

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.
