Owens & Minor, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Accounting Policies
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (which are comprised only of
normal recurring accruals and the use of estimates) necessary to present
fairly the consolidated financial position of Owens & Minor, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries (O&M or the company) as of September 30, 1999March 31, 2000 and the
consolidated results of operations for the three and nine month periods
and cash flows for the ninethree month
periods ended September 30, 1999March 31, 2000 and 1998.1999.
2. Interim Results of Operations
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
3. Interim Gross Margin Reporting
The company uses estimated gross margin rates to determine the cost of
goods sold during interim periods. To improve the accuracy of its estimated
gross margins for interim reporting purposes, the company takes physical
inventory counts at selected distribution centers. Reported results of
operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2000 and 1999
and 1998
reflect the results of such counts, to the extent that they are materially
different from estimated amounts. Management will continue a program of
interim physical inventories at selected distribution centers to the extent
it deems appropriate to ensure the accuracy of interim reporting and to
minimize year-end adjustments.
4. Investment
In October 1999, in a private offering, the company purchased an equity
investment in Neoforma.com, Inc. (Neoforma), a provider of business-to-
business e-commerce services in the healthcare industry. In January 2000,
Neoforma made an initial public offering, at which time the shares held by
O&M were converted to common stock. The investment is classified as
available-for-sale, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities, and is included in other assets, net in the consolidated
balance sheets at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax,
reported as accumulated other comprehensive income. At March 31, 2000, the
estimated fair value (based on the quoted market price), gross unrealized
gain and cost basis of this investment were $3.5 million, $2.3 million and
$1.2 million. At December 31, 1999, the investment was stated at its cost
basis of $1.2 million, as there was no market for the securities at that
time.
5. Acquisition
On July 30, 1999, the company acquired certain net assets of Medix, Inc.
(Medix), a distributor of medical/medical and surgical supplies, for a purchase price
of approximately $85 million. Headquartered in Waunakee, Wisconsin, Medix's
customers are primarily in the Midwest and include acute care hospitals,
long-term care facilities and clinics. Medix's net sales were approximately
$184 million for its fiscal year ended October 2, 1998.supplies. The acquisition
has been accounted for by the purchase method and, accordingly, the
operating results of Medix have been included in the company's consolidated
financial statements since the date of acquisition. Assuming the
acquisition had been made at the beginning of the periods,January 1, 1999, consolidated net sales, on a
pro forma basis, would have been approximately $2.44 billion and $2.51 billion$791 million for the ninethree
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.March 31, 1999. Consolidated net income and earningsnet income per
share on a pro forma basis would not have been materially different from
the results reported.
The company paid cash of approximately $70 million and assumed debt of
approximately $15 million, which was paid off as part of the closing
transaction.
In connection with the acquisition, management adopted a plan for
integration of the businesses which includes closure of some Medix
facilities and consolidation of certain administrative
6
functions. An accrual of approximately $3 million was established to provide for thecertain costs of this
plan, including anticipated losses under lease commitments of
approximately $2 million and other anticipated costs of approximately $1
million, including employee separations, asset write-offs and other costs.
There were no significant charges toplan. The following table sets forth the reserveactivity in the accrual during the
three month

As of March 31, 2000, 16 employees had been terminated. The purchase price has been preliminarily
allocated based on estimated fair valuesintegration of
the acquired net assets at the
date of acquisition pending final adjustments of certain acquired balances.
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net
identifiable assets acquired of approximately $58 million has been recorded
as goodwill andMedix business is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

6. Restructuring Reserve
As a result of the Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation contract
cancellation in the second quarter of 1998, the company recorded a
nonrecurring restructuring charge to downsize operations. In the second
quarter of 1999 the company re-evaluated its estimate of the remaining
costs to be incurred in connection with the restructuring plan, and reduced
the reserve by $1.0 million. The following
table sets forth the activity in the restructuring reserve during the third quarter of 1999:three

transaction. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net
identifiable assets acquired of approximately $58 million has been recorded as
goodwill and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. This
acquisition strengthens the company's presence in the Midwest and is expected to
provide opportunities for increased sales in this geographic area. Medix's net
sales were approximately $184 million for their fiscal year ended October 2,
1998. The success of the acquisition will depend in part on the company's
ability to integrate and capture synergies in the combined businesses.1999.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity. The company acquired Medix on July 30, 1999. This acquisition was
funded throughcompany's liquidity improved during the off balance sheet accounts receivable securitization
facility. As a resultfirst quarter of the acquisition, combined2000.
Combined outstanding debt and off balance sheet accounts receivable
securitization levels increasedborrowings were reduced by approximately $52.0$20.5 million to $277.0$260.3 million at
September 30, 1999,March 31, 2000, from $225.0$280.8 million at December 31, 1998. Excluding the impact of the acquisition, the
combined outstanding debt and off balance sheet accounts receivable
securitization levels were reduced by $33.0 million. This1999. The reduction was due
to the positive impact of cash flow from operations.
In May 1998, O&M repurchased all of its outstanding Series B Cumulative
Preferred Stock, financing the repurchase with substantially all the net
proceeds of the $132.0 million of Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities
(Securities) issued by Owens & Minor Trust I (Trust). These transactions reduced
the company's overall cost of capital for the first nine months of 1999 compared
to the same period of 1998.
The company expects that its available financing will be sufficient to fund its
working capital needs and long-term strategic growth, although this cannot be
assured. At September 30, 1999,March 31, 2000, the company had $225.0 million of unused credit
under its revolving credit facility and approximately $10.9$42.3 million under its
receivables financing facility.
Effective April 24, 2000, the company replaced its revolving credit facility
with a new agreement expiring in April 2003. The credit limit of the new
facility is $225.0 million, unchanged from the previous facility, and the
interest is based on LIBOR or the Prime Rate, at the company's discretion. Under
the new facility, the company is charged a commitment fee of between 0.20% and
0.275% on the unused portion of the facility, and a utilization fee of 0.25%
will be charged if borrowings exceed $112.5 million. The terms of the new
agreement limit the amount of indebtedness that the company may incur, require
the company to maintain certain levels of net worth, current ratio, leverage
ratio and fixed charge coverage, and restrict the ability of the company to
materially alter the character of the business through consolidation, merger or
purchase or sale of assets.
Working Capital Management. The company's working capital decreased by $44.0$15.6
million from December 31, 1998,1999 to $191.3$203.9 million at September 30, 1999. This
decline isMarch 31, 2000, primarily
due in part, to collections of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable, excluding the
Medix acquisition, as well as timingimpact of payments
on higher levels of inventory neededthe company's accounts receivable securitization facility, decreased
by $17.0 million to support sales growth. The company
continues to focus on the management of inventory levels, and inventory turnover
increased to 9.5 times for the quarter from 8.4 times in the fourth quarter of
1998.

$315.5 million at March 31, 2000.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures were approximately $13.7$4.1 million in
the first ninethree months of 1999,2000, of which approximately $11.6$3.6 million was for
computer hardware and software, including $2.5 million for system upgrades to
prepare for Year 2000.software. The company expects to continue to supportsupporting
strategic initiatives to investand improving operational efficiency through investments

to be funded through cash flow from operations.
Results of Operations
ThirdFirst quarter and first nine months of 19992000 compared with 1998first quarter of 1999
Net sales. Net sales increased 5.7%15.3% to $811.9$854.5 million in the thirdfirst quarter of
19992000 from $768.4$741.1 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 1998. This1999. Excluding the sales
generated by Medix, net sales increased 9.0%. Most of this increase resulted
from the inclusion of two months' of Medix sales in the quarter which accounted
for a 4% increase, as well as new customer contracts and increased penetration of existing accounts. Netaccounts, most significantly Tenet
BuyPower, whose distribution contract began in February 1999 and therefore
contributed to only two months' sales decreased 1.7% to $2.33 billion in the first nine monthsquarter of 1999 from $2.37 billion in the first nine months of 1998
principally because the loss of Columbia/HCA business in mid 1998 was not fully
offset by new business until third quarter,1999.1999.
14
Gross margin. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales remained consistent at
10.5% in the third quarter of 1999 compared to the third quarter of 1998. Gross
margin as a percentage of net sales increaseddecreased slightly to
10.5% in the first nine monthsquarter of 1999 from 10.4%2000 compared with 10.6% for the first nine monthsquarter of
1998. This level1999. The decrease was a result of gross margin
as a percentage of net sales reflects the company's continued emphasis on supply
chain initiatives with key suppliers, as well as the lower sales base duringin the first quarter of
1999.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) expenses wereas a percentage of net sales decreased to 7.6% of
net sales for the thirdfirst quarter of 1999, unchanged from the third quarter of 1998. SG&A expenses increased2000, compared to 7.7%

sales base forin the first nine monthsquarter of 2000 and the elimination of the need for Year
2000 remediation efforts. Expenses in the first quarter of 1999 compared to 1998.included
spending of $1.0 million on Year 2000 initiatives.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the
quarter increased by approximately 7%15.7% from 1998,1999, due, in part, to increased goodwill
amortization of approximately $0.4 million resulting from the Medix acquisition.
In addition, depreciation expense increased as a result of higher capital
spending associated with information technology initiatives. O&M anticipates
similar increases in depreciation throughout the rest of 2000.
Interest expense, net, and discount on accounts receivable securitization.
Interest expense, net, decreased to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 1999
from $3.8 million in the third quarter of 1998 and decreased to $8.8securitization
(financing costs). Financing costs totaled $5.2 million in the first nine monthsquarter of
1999 from $10.62000, compared with $4.1 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 1998.1999. The decrease for both periods was primarily a result of higher collections
of customer finance charges. The discount onincrease in
financing costs is due to an increase in debt (including amounts financed under
the company's off balance sheet accounts receivable securitization increased to $1.5facility) of
approximately $45.3 million insince the thirdfirst quarter of 1999 from $0.9 million in the
third quarter of 1998, but decreased to $3.3 million for the first nine months
of 1999 from $3.9 million for the same period in 1998.1999. The increase for the
quarter was a result ofin
debt resulted from the Medix acquisition, which was funded through this
facility. The decrease for the nine month period resultedpartially offset by positive cash
flows from lower average
levels of financing under the facility.operations.
The company expects to continue to manage theseits financing costs by continuing its
working capital reduction initiatives and management of interest rate risks,
although the future results of these initiatives cannot be assured.
Distributions on mandatorily redeemable preferred securities and dividends on
preferred stock. In May 1998, the Trust issued $132.0 million of the Securities.
O&M applied substantially all of the net proceeds from this transaction to
repurchase all of its outstanding Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock. As of
September 30, 1999, the company had accrued $1.2 million of distributions
related to these Securities.
16
Nonrecurring restructuring expenses. As a result of the Columbia/HCA contract
cancellation in the second quarter of 1998, the company recorded a nonrecurring
restructuring charge of approximately $6.6 million, after taxes, to downsize
operations. In the second quarter of 1999, the company re-evaluated its
restructuring reserve. Since the actions under this plan had resulted in lower
projected total costs than originally anticipated, the company recorded a
reduction in the reserve which increased net income by approximately $0.6
million, after taxes.
Income taxes. The income tax provision was $15.0$5.6 million in the first nine
monthsquarter of
19992000 compared with $9.6$4.3 million in the same period in 1998.1999. The effective tax
rate was 44.0%45.0%, compared to 41.5%44.0% for the same period in 1998.1999. This rate
increase results primarily from reduced deductibility of expenses related
toincreases in certain nontaxable income.nondeductible expenses.
Net income. Net income increased to $7.1$6.8 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 19992000
from $6.6$5.5 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 1998.1999. The increase is primarily due to
the increase in sales forand success in controlling operating expenses.
New Health Exchange
In April 2000, the quarter. Net income increasedcompany announced an agreement in principle with four other
leading healthcare distributors to $19.1 million inform an Internet-based company that would be
an independent, commercially neutral healthcare product information exchange
focused on streamlining the first nine monthshealthcare supply chain. The companies involved
expect to complete a definitive joint-venture agreement by the end of 1999 from $13.5 million in the same period of 1998. The
increase was due to the impactJuly and
begin implementation of the restructuring charge in 1998 and the
restructuring reserve adjustment in 1999. Excluding the effect of the
restructuring charge in 1998 and the related adjustment in 1999, net income
attributable to common stock increased to $18.6 million for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1999, from $18.2 million in the same period in 1998.
This increase resulted from the retirement of the company's outstanding Series B
Cumulative Preferred Stock in May 1998 which was funded through the issuance of
$132.0 million of Securities issuedexchange by Trust. The after tax distribution rate of
the Securities is lower than the preferred dividend rate.
Readiness for Year 2000
The Year 2000 (Y2K) issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two-digit, rather than four-digit, year dates. O&M's computer hardware, software
and devices with embedded technology that are date-sensitive may recognize a
date code using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This situation
could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices or engage in other normal business activities. The
company has divided its Y2K efforts into three main areas:
o computer hardware and software;
o other systems and equipment, such as telephone equipment, scanning
equipment and alarm systems; and
o suppliers and customers.
Computer Hardware and Software. In 1997, O&M completed its assessment of its
computer hardware and software, and developed a strategy of remediation. This
strategy includes retirement of outdated software and replacement or repair of
the remaining software and hardware. The company began repair and replacement
efforts in 1997 so that its computer systems would function properly in the year
2000 and beyond. As of September 30, 1999, these repairs and replacements were
substantially complete. Also, the company has substantially completed testing of
the repairs and replacements that it believes will be necessary to fully address
potential Y2K issues relating to its computer hardware and software. In order to
maintain an appropriate level of Y2K compliance, the company will continue
testing of new or modified computer hardware and software through the end of the year. 17
Other Systems and Equipment. The company has completed an inventory and
assessment of non-computer related systems and equipment at its operating
divisions and a similar inventory and assessment at its corporate offices. O&M
believes thatfounding
members expect the impact on operations of potential noncompliance for these
systems and equipment wouldnew exchange to require investments totaling more than $100
million. The amount to be minimal. As of September 30, 1999, the
replacement and repair of non-compliant systems and equipment was substantially
complete.
Suppliers and Customers.invested by O&M has contacted its significant suppliers to
determine the extent to which the company is vulnerable to the suppliers'
failure to remediate their Y2K compliance issues. Although the company
considered several factors in identifying these suppliers, the company has
concentrated its communication efforts with suppliers that represent
approximately 90% of O&M's sales. Based on the responses received, the company
believes that all critical suppliers are compliant or will be compliant by the
end of 1999 while the remaining suppliers have indicated they are still
addressing Y2K issues. The company has successfully completed testing with three
of its largest suppliers and will continue testing with selected suppliers
during the remainder of 1999.
The company has also contacted its largest customers to determine their level of
Y2K readiness. Many customers have not yet responded to these inquiries or have
not responded with sufficient detail for O&M to determine whether they will be
Y2K compliant on a timely basis. The company is continuing its efforts to
ascertain the readiness of its customers but, since this readiness cannot be
assured, O&M has developed contingency plans to address the most likely risks of
non-compliance and is in the process of implementing those plans. The company
has successfully completed testing with over 60 customers and will continue
testing during the remainder of 1999.
The company estimates the cost of its Y2K remediation efforts will total
approximately $8.4 million of operating expenses and $6.8 million of capital
expenditures. These expenditures will be funded from operating cash flows.
Through September 30, 1999, O&M had incurred approximately $8.1 million of
expenses and $6.2 million of capital spending related to its Y2K efforts, of
which $0.7 million was incurred in the third quarter of 1999 for each. For the
remainder of 1999, the company expects to incur approximately $0.3 million of
expenses and $0.6 million of capital spending. Other information technology
initiatives have not been significantly delayed by Y2K efforts.
O&M has completed its analysis of the operational problems that would be
reasonably likely to result from the failure by the company and certain third
parties to complete efforts necessary to achieve Y2K compliance on a timely
basis. Some of the possible consequences include, but are not limited to, loss
of communications, loss of utility services, and an inability to process
customer transactions or engage in similar normal business activities. The
company has developed contingency plans to address these and other possible
scenarios. In the event that the company or third party is adversely affected by
the century change, the company will implement its contingency plan for each
situation. These plans include alternate means of communication with customers
and suppliers, manual operation of certain systems, and other previously
established emergency procedures.
18
O&M believes the Y2K issue will not pose significant operational problems for
the company. However, if all Y2K issues are not properly identified or if
assessment, remediation and testing are not completed on a timely basis, there
can be no assurance that the Y2K issue will not have a material adverse impact
on the company's results of operations or adversely affect its relationships
with customers, suppliers or others. Additionally, there can be no assurance
that Y2K non-compliance by other entities will not have a material adverse
impact on the company's systems or results of operations.
The costs of O&M's Y2K efforts and the dates on which the company believes it
will complete these efforts are based upon management's current estimates. These
estimates used numerous assumptions regarding future events, including the
continued availability of certain resources, third party remediation plans and
other factors. There can be no assurance that these estimates will prove to be
accurate, and actual results could differ materially from those currently
anticipated.determined at this time.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
In September 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
(SFAS) 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. In May 1999, the FASB delayed the effective
date of this standard by one year. The company will be required to adopt the
provisions of this standard beginning on January 1, 2001. Management believes
the effect of the adoption of this standard will be
15
limited to financial statement presentation and disclosure and will not have a
material effect on the company's financial condition or results of operations.
Risks
The company is subject to risks associated with changes in the medical industry,
including continued efforts to control costs, which place pressure on operating
margin, and changes in the way medical and surgical services are delivered to
patients. The loss of one of the company's larger customers could have a
significant effect on its business. However, management believes that the
company's competitive position in the marketplace and its ability to control
costs would enable it to continue profitable operations and attract new
customers in the event of such a loss.
