MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC), the world’s largest provider of health care solutions to office-based dental and medical practitioners, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 27, 2025.

“We are pleased with our financial results for the third quarter, with sales growth accelerating in each of our reportable segments including solid market share gains in our distribution businesses as we are once again focused on driving growth now that the cyber incident is fully behind us.

Based on our first phase of work, we believe we have the opportunity to deliver over $200 million of improvements to operating income over the next few years,” Mr. Bergman said. “In addition, our board has approved an amendment to the Strategic Partnership Agreement giving KKR the right to increase its HSIC stock ownership up to 19.9%.”

Amendment to Strategic Partnership Agreement

The Company is also announcing today that its Board has approved an amendment to the Strategic Partnership Agreement giving KKR the right to increase its ownership in HSIC stock up to 19.9% through purchases in the open market.

2025 Financial Guidance

Henry Schein today raised its financial guidance for 2025. Guidance is for current continuing operations as well as acquisitions that have closed and does not include the impact of restructuring expenses, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, the insurance claim recovery associated with the cybersecurity incident, changes in contingent consideration, costs associated with shareholder advisory matters and select value creation consulting costs, and litigation settlements. This guidance also assumes that foreign currency exchange rates will remain generally consistent with current levels, that the effects of tariffs can be mitigated, and includes remeasurement gains related to the purchase of controlling interests of previously held non-controlling equity investments, consistent with the Company’s business strategy.

• 2025 non-GAAP diluted EPS attributable to Henry Schein, Inc. is raised to $4.88 to $4.96, previously $4.80 to $4.94, reflecting year-over-year growth of 3% to 5%.
• 2025 total sales growth is raised to be approximately 3% to 4% over 2024, previously 2% to 4% total sales growth.
• 2025 Adjusted EBITDA³ growth is expected to increase mid-single digits compared with 2024, and remains unchanged.

Adjustments to 2025 GAAP Net Income and Diluted EPS

The Company is providing guidance for 2025 diluted EPS on a non-GAAP basis and for 2025 Adjusted EBITDA, as noted above. The Company is not providing a reconciliation of its 2025 non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance to its projected 2025 diluted EPS prepared on a GAAP basis, or its 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income prepared on a GAAP basis. This is because the Company is unable to provide without unreasonable effort an estimate of restructuring costs related to an ongoing initiative to drive operating efficiencies, including the corresponding tax effect, which will be included in the Company’s 2025 diluted EPS and net income, prepared on a GAAP basis. The inability to provide this reconciliation is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence, magnitude, financial impact and timing of related costs.

Management does not believe these items are representative of the Company’s underlying business performance. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

We caution that these factors may not be exhaustive and that many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Accordingly, any forward-looking statements contained herein should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results. We undertake no duty and have no obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required by law.

Included within the press release are non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the Company’s actual results prepared under GAAP to exclude certain items. In the schedule attached to the press release, the non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to and should be considered together with the Consolidated Statements of Income. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business. The impact of certain items that are excluded include integration and restructuring costs, amortization of acquisition-related assets, the insurance claim recovery associated with the cybersecurity incident, changes in contingent consideration, costs associated with shareholder advisory matters and select value creation consulting costs, and litigation settlements because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions we consummate and occur on an unpredictable basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely for informational and comparative purposes and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures.

¹ See Exhibit A for details of sales growth. Internal sales growth is calculated from total net sales using constant foreign currency exchange rates and excludes sales from acquisitions.
² See Exhibit B for a reconciliation of GAAP net income and diluted EPS to non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS.
³ See Exhibit C for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to Adjusted EBITDA.
