HENRY SCHEIN, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, except share and per share data)
 
(unaudited
)
8
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Henry
 
Schein, Inc., and all of our
controlled subsidiaries (“we”, “us” orand “our”).
 
All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated
in
consolidation.
 
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates infor which we have the ability to influence
 
influence the operating or
financial decisions are accounted for under the equity method.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the current
period presentation.
These reclassifications, individually and in the aggregate, did
not
have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
 
have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
 
(“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
 
Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete
 
financial statements.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be
 
read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial
 
statements contained in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 202230, 2023 and with the information
 
contained in our other publicly-
available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of
 
the consolidated results of operations and
financial position for the interim periods presented.
 
All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
 
generally accepted in the United
States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
 
assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
 
statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
The results of
operations for the three months ended April 1, 2023March 30, 2024 are not necessarily
 
indicative of the results to be expected for
for any other interim period or for the year ending December 30, 2023.28, 2024.
We consolidate the results of operations and financial position of a trade accounts receivable securitization which
we consider a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) because we are the primary beneficiary, and we have the power to
direct activities that most significantly affect the economic performance and have
the obligation to absorb the
majority of the losses or benefits.

Critical
Significant Accounting Policies
 
There have been no material changes in our criticalsignificant accounting policies during
 
during the three months ended April 1,March
2023,30, 2024, as compared to the criticalsignificant accounting policies described in Item
 
78 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-
K for
the year ended December 31, 2022.30, 2023.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2022,December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) No. 2022-04, “Liabilities – Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic2023-09, “
Income Taxes (Topic
 
405-50)740): Disclosure of Supplier FinanceImprovements to Income Tax Disclosures
Program Obligations,,” which will increase transparency of supplier financerequires public
business entities to disclose additional information in specified categories with
 
programsrespect to the reconciliation of the
effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state and foreign income taxes.
It also requires greater detail
about individual reconciling items in the rate reconciliation to the extent
the impact of those items exceeds a
specified threshold.
In addition to new disclosures associated with the rate reconciliation,
the ASU requires
information pertaining to taxes paid (net of refunds received) to be
disaggregated for federal, state and foreign taxes
and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions to the extent the
related amounts exceed a quantitative threshold.
The ASU also describes items that need to be disaggregated based on
their nature, which is determined by reference
to the item’s fundamental or essential characteristics, such as the transaction or event that triggered the
establishment of the reconciling item and the activity with which the reconciling
item is associated.
The ASU
eliminates the historic requirement that entities disclose information concerning
unrecognized tax benefits having a
reasonable possibility of significantly increasing or decreasing in the 12
months following the reporting date.
This
ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024.
Early adoption is permitted for annual
financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available
for issuance.
This ASU should be applied on a
prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted.
We are currently evaluating the impact that
ASU 2023 – 09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “
Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable
Segments
,” which aims to improve financial reporting by requiring entities that use
such programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclosedisclosure
 
of incremental segment information
on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to
develop more decision-useful financial
analyses.
Currently, Topic
280 requires that a public entity disclose certain qualitative and quantitative
information about such programs.its
 
reportable
segments.
For example, a public entity is required to report a measure of
segment profit or loss that the chief
operating decision maker uses to assess segment performance and
make decisions about allocating resources.
Topic 280 also requires other specified segment items and amounts, such as depreciation, amortization, and
depletion expense, to be disclosed under certain circumstances.
The amendments in this ASU 2022-04do not change or
remove those disclosure requirements and do not change how a public
entity identifies its operating segments,
aggregates those operating segments or applies the quantitative thresholds
to determine its reportable segments.
This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022,2023, and interim
including interim periods within those fiscal years except for amended
roll forward information, which is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023.2024.
Early adoption is permitted.
 
We do not expect that the requirements of this guidanceASU
2023 – 07 will
have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial
statements.
In December 2022,March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform2024-01, “
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 848)718): DeferralScope
Application of theProfits Interest and Similar Awards,
Sunset Date” which clarifies how to determine whether a profit interest and
similar awards should be accounted for as a share-based payment arrangement
under Topic 718 or within the scope
of other guidance.
The ASU provides an illustrative example with multiple fact patterns
and amends the structure
of paragraph 718-10-15-3 of Topic 848,” which extends718 to improve its clarity and operability.
The guidance in ASU 2024-01
applies to all entities that issue profits interest awards as compensation
to employees or nonemployees in exchange
for goods or services.
Entities can apply the periodamendments either retrospectively to
all periods presented in the
financial statements or prospectively to profits interest awards granted
or modified on or after the date of adoption.
If prospective application is elected, an entity must disclose the nature
of temporary optional expedientsand reason for the change in accounting
principle that resulted from the adoption of the ASU.

Note 3 – Cyber Incident
In October 2023 Henry Schein experienced a cyber incident that primarily
 
affected the operations of our North
American and European dental and medical distribution businesses.
 
Henry Schein One, our practice management
software, revenue cycle management and patient relationship management
 
solutions business, was not affected, and
our manufacturing businesses were mostly unaffected.
 
On November 22, 2023, we experienced a disruption of our
ecommerce platform and related applications, which has since been
 
remediated.
During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we continued
 
to experience a residual impact of the cyber events
noted above relating primarily to decreased sales to episodic customers (customers
 
that had generally registered a
less continuous level of demand pre-incident).
During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we incurred $
5
 
million of expenses directly related to the cyber
incident, mostly consisting of professional fees.
 
We maintain cyber insurance, subject to certain retentions and
policy limitations.
 
With respect to the October 2023 cyber incident, we have a $
60
 
million insurance policy,
following a $
5
 
million retention.

Business Acquisitions
Our acquisition strategy is focused on investments in companies that
add new customers and sales teams, increase
our geographic footprint (whether entering a new country, such as emerging markets, or building scale where we
have already invested in businesses), and finally, those that enable us to access new products and technologies.
2024 Acquisitions
During the quarter ended March 30, 2024, we made acquisitions within
the technology and value-added services
segment.
Our acquired ownership interest in these companies was
100
%.
Total consideration for these acquisitions
was $
19
million.
Net assets acquired primarily consisted of $
8
million of goodwill and $
12
million of intangible
assets.
The intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships
and lists of $
6
million, product
development of $
4
million, trademarks and tradenames of $
1
million and non-compete agreements of $
1
million.
Weighted average useful lives for these acquired intangible assets were
10
years,
10
years,
5
years and
5
years,
respectively.
Goodwill is a result of the expected synergies and cross-selling opportunities that
these acquisitions are expected to
provide for us, as well as the expected growth potential.
The majority of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax
purposes.
The impact of these acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, was
not considered material to our condensed
consolidated financial statements.
2023 Acquisitions
Acquisition of Shield Healthcare
On October 2, 2023 we acquired a
90
% voting equity interest in Shield Healthcare, Inc. (“Shield”), a supplier
of
homecare medical products delivered directly to patients in their homes, for
preliminary consideration of $
366
million (including cash paid of $
307
million, deferred consideration of $
22
million and redeemable noncontrolling
interests of $
37
million).
Based in California, Shield expands our existing medical business
by delivering a diverse
range of products, including items such as incontinence, urology, ostomy, enteral nutrition, advanced wound care
and diabetes supplies.
Additionally, Shield offers continuous glucose monitoring devices directly to patients in
their homes.
The accounting for the acquisition of Shield has not been completed
in several respects, including but not limited to
finalizing valuation assessments of accounts receivable, inventory, accrued liabilities and income and non-income
based taxes.
To assist in the allocation of consideration, we engaged valuation specialists to determine the fair
value of intangible and tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
We will finalize the amounts recognized as
the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained.
During the quarter ended March 30, 2024, we
recorded immaterial measurement period adjustments, related primarily
to operating leases.
The pro forma financial information has not been presented because the
impact of the Shield acquisition was
immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.
Acquisition of S.I.N. Implant System
On July 5, 2023, we acquired a
100
% voting equity interest in S.I.N. Implant System (“S.I.N.”) for consideration
of
$
329
million.
Based in São Paulo, S.I.N. manufactures an extensive line of products
to perform dental implant
procedures and is focused on advancing the development of value-priced dental
implants.

Acquisition of Biotech Dental
On April 5, 2023, we acquired a
57
% voting equity interest in Biotech Dental (“Biotech Dental”), which
is a
provider of dental implants, clear aligners, individualized prosthetics
and innovative digital dental software based in
France.
Biotech Dental has several important solutions for dental practices
and dental labs, including Nemotec, a
comprehensive, integrated suite of planning and diagnostic software
using open architecture that connects disparate
medical devices to create a digital view of the patient, offering greater diagnostic
accuracy and an improved patient
experience.
The integration of Biotech Dental’s software with Henry Schein One’s industry-leading practice
management software solutions will help customers streamline their
clinical as well as administrative workflow for
the ultimate benefit of patients.

Business Acquisitions
In connection with our business acquisitions, the major classes of
assets and liabilities to which we generally
allocate acquisition consideration to, excluding goodwill, include
identifiable intangible assets (i.e., customer
relationships and lists, trademarks and trade names, product development
and non-compete agreements), inventory
and accounts receivable.
The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets
is based on critical judgments
and assumptions derived from analysis of market conditions, including
discount rates, projected revenue growth
rates (which are based on historical trends and assessment of financial projections),
estimated customer attrition and
projected cash flows.
These assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic
and market
conditions.
While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets
acquired and liabilities assumed at the
acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable,
our estimates are inherently uncertain and
subject to refinement.
As a result, within 12 months following the date of acquisition,
or the measurement period,
we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
with the corresponding offset to goodwill
within our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
At the end of the measurement period or final determination of
the values of such assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever
comes first, any subsequent adjustments are
recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The accounting for certain of our acquisitions during the year ended December
31, 2022 had not been completed in
several areas, including but not limited to pending assessments of intangible
assets, and contingent consideration
assets and liabilities.

Note 67 – Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
 
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
 
The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between
(1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained
 
from independent sources (observable
inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best
information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the
 
highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority
 
to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
 
Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
 
or liabilities that are accessible at the
measurement date.
 
Level 2— Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
 
observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly.
 
Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities
 
in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are
not active; inputs other than quoted
prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are
 
derived principally from or corroborated by
observable market data by correlation or other means.
 
Level 3— Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.
The following section describes the fair values of our financial instruments
 
and the methodologies that we used to
measure their fair values.
 
Investments and notes receivable
There are no quoted market prices available for investments in unconsolidated
 
affiliates and notes receivable.
 
Certain of our notes receivable contain variable interest rates.
 
We believe the carrying amounts are a reasonable
estimate of fair value based on the interest rates in the applicable
markets.
Our investments and notes receivable
fair value is based on Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.
 
Debt
The fair value of our debt (including bank credit lines, current maturities
 
of long-term debt and long-term debt) is
classified asbased on Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, and as of April 1, 2023March 30, 2024 and December 31, 202230, 2023 was estimated
estimated at $
1,3122,377
 
million and $
1,1492,351
 
million, respectively.
 
Factors that we considered when estimating the fair value
of
value of our debt include market conditions, such as interest rates and credit
spreads.
Derivative contracts
Derivative contracts are valued using quoted market prices and
 
significant other observable inputs.
 
We use
derivative instruments to minimize our exposure to fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates.
Our derivative
instruments primarily include foreign currency forward agreements, relatedforecasted
 
to certain intercompany loans, certain
forecasted inventory purchase commitments, with foreign suppliers,
foreign currency forward contracts, to hedge a
portion of our euro-denominated foreign operations which are designated
as net investment hedgesinterest rate swaps and a total
return swap for the purpose of economically hedging our unfunded non-qualified
supplemental executive retirement
plan and our deferred compensation plan.swaps.
The fair values for the majority of our foreign currency derivative contracts
 
are obtained by comparing our contract
rate to a published forward price of the underlying market rates, which
 
isare based on market rates for comparable
transactions andthat are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the interest rate swap, which is classified within Level 2
 
of the fair value hierarchy, is determined
by comparing our contract rate to a forward market rate as of the
valuation date.

The fair value of total return swaps is determined by valuing the underlying
exchange traded funds of the swap
using market-on-close pricing by industry providers as of the valuation
date that are classified within Level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests
The values for redeemable noncontrolling interests are based on recent
transactions and/or implied multiples of
earnings that are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
See
for additional information.
Assets measured on a non-recurring basis at fair value include intangibles.

billion revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”)
which was subsequently amended and restated on
July 11, 2023
 
to extend the maturity date to
July 11, 2028
 
and
update the interest rate provisions to reflect the current market approach
for a multicurrency facility.
The interest
rate on this revolving credit facility is based on Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) plus a
spread based on our leverage ratio at the end of each financial reporting
quarter.
As of March 30, 2024 the interest
rate on this revolving credit agreement was
5.32
% plus
1.10
% for a combined rate of
6.42
%.
The Revolving Credit
Agreement requires, among other things, that we maintain certain maximum
leverage ratios.
Additionally, the
Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties
and affirmative covenants as well as
customary negative covenants, subject to negotiated exceptions, on
liens, indebtedness, significant corporate
changes (including mergers), dispositions and certain restrictive agreements.
As of March 30, 2024 and December
30, 2023, we had $
50
million and $

Revolving Credit Agreement
On
August 20, 2021
, we entered into a $
1.0
billion revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”).
This
facility, which matures on
August 20, 2026
replaced our $
750
million revolving credit facility which was scheduled
to mature in April 2022.
The interest rate is based on the USD LIBOR plus a spread based on our
leverage ratio at
the end of each financial reporting quarter.
Most LIBOR rates have been discontinued after December 31,
2021,
while the remaining LIBOR rates will be discontinued immediately
after June 30, 2023.
We do not expect the
discontinuation of LIBOR as a reference rate in our debt agreements
to have a material adverse effect on our
financial position or to materially affect our interest expense.
The Credit Agreement requires, among other things,
that we maintain certain maximum leverage ratios.
Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains customary
representations, warranties and affirmative covenants as well as customary negative
covenants, subject to
negotiated exceptions, on liens, indebtedness, significant corporate changes
(including mergers), dispositions and
certain restrictive agreements.
As of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had

at the time of issuance.
 
The term of each
possible issuance will be selected by us and can range from
five
 
to
15 years
 
(with an average life no longer than
12
years
).
 
The proceeds of any issuances under the facilities will be used
 
for general corporate purposes, including
working capital and capital expenditures, to refinance existing indebtedness,
 
and/or to fund potential acquisitions.
 
The agreements provide, among other things, that we maintain
 
certain maximum leverage ratios, and contain
restrictions relating to subsidiary indebtedness, liens, affiliate transactions, disposal
 
of assets and certain changes in
ownership.
 
These facilities contain make-whole provisions in the event that we
 
pay off the facilities prior to the
applicable due dates.

warranties and affirmative covenants as well as customary negative covenants, subject
to negotiated exceptions, on
liens, indebtedness, significant corporate changes (including mergers), dispositions

The Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) issued
technical and administrative
guidance on Pillar Two Model Rules in December 2021, which provides for a global minimum tax rate on the
earnings of large multinational businesses on a country-by-country basis.
Effective January 1, 2024, the minimum
global tax rate is 15% for various jurisdictions pursuant to the Pillar Two framework.
Future tax reform resulting
from these developments may result in changes to long-standing tax principles,
which may adversely impact our
effective tax rate going forward or result in higher cash tax liabilities.
As of March 30, 2024, the impact of the
Pillar Two Rules to our financial statements was immaterial.
As we operate in jurisdictions which have adopted
Pillar Two,
we are continuing to analyze the implications to effectively manage the impact
for 2024 and beyond.

Note 1011 – Legal Proceedings
Henry Schein, Inc. has been named as a defendant in multiple opioid related
 
related lawsuits (currently less than one-
hundred and seventy-five (
175
); one or more of Henry Schein, Inc.’s subsidiaries is also named as a defendant in a
number of those cases).
 
Generally, the lawsuits allege that the manufacturers of prescription opioid drugs engaged
in a false advertising campaign to expand the market for such drugs and
 
their own market share and that the entities
in the supply chain (including Henry Schein, Inc. and its affiliated companies)subsidiaries) reaped
 
financial rewards by refusing or
or otherwise failing to monitor appropriately and restrict the improper distribution
 
distribution of those drugs.
 
These actions
consist of some that have been consolidated within the MultiDistrict Litigation
 
(“MDL”) proceeding In Re National
Prescription Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804; Case No. 17-md-2804)
 
and are currently stayed, and others which
remain pending in state courts and are proceeding independently and outside
 
of the MDL.
 
At this time, the
following cases are set for trial: the action filed by DCH Health Care Authority, et al. in Alabama state court, which
has been designated a bellwether with
eight
of
thirty-eight
plaintiffsis currently set for a jury trial on July 24, 2023; 8, 2024; the action filed by Mobile
County Board of Health, et al. in Alabama
state court, which has been set for a jury trial on August 12, 2024;
and the
action filed by Florida Health Sciences
Center, Inc. (and
3825
other hospitals located throughout the State of Florida)
in Florida state court,
which is currently
scheduled for a jury trial
in MaySeptember 2025.
 
Of Henry Schein’s 20222023 net sales
of approximately $
12.612.3
 
billion, from continuing operations,
sales of opioids represented
less than
two-tenths
four-tenths of 1
percent.
 
Opioids represent a negligible part of our
business.
 
We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against
these actions.
In August 2022, Henry Schein received a Grand Jury Subpoena from the United
 
States Attorney’s Office for the
Western District of Virginia,
 
seeking documents in connection with an investigation of possible
 
violations of the
Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act by Butler Animal Health Supply, LLC (“Butler”), a former subsidiary of
Henry Schein.
 
The investigation relates to the sale of veterinary prescription drugs
 
to certain customers.
 
In
October 2022, Henry Schein received a second Grand Jury Subpoena
 
from the United States Attorney’s Office for
the Western District of Virginia.
 
The October 2022 Subpoena seeks documents relating to payments Henry
 
Schein
received from Butler or Covetrus, Inc. (“Covetrus”).
 
Butler was spun off into a separate company and became a
subsidiary of Covetrus in 2019 and is no longer owned by Henry Schein.
 
We are cooperating with the
investigation.
On January 18, 2024, a putative class action was filed against the Company
in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of New York (“EDNY”), Case No. 24-cv-387 (the “Cruz-Bermudez Action”), based on the
October 2023 cyber incident described in
.
On January 26, 2024, a second putative class
action was filed against the Company based on the cyber incident, also
in the EDNY,
Case No. 24-cv-550 (the
“Depperschmidt Action”).
On February 12, 2024, the Depperschmidt Action was voluntarily dismissed
without
prejudice.
On February 16, 2024, an amended complaint was filed in
the Cruz-Bermudez Action with additional
plaintiffs’ counsel from the Depperschmidt Action and an additional new plaintiff.
Plaintiffs in the Cruz-Bermudez Action seek to represent a class of all individuals
whose personally identifying
information and personal health information was compromised by
the incident.
Plaintiffs generally claim to have
been harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by the Company
in connection with the incident and that the
Company made deceptive public statements regarding privacy and data protection.
Plaintiffs assert a variety of
claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’
fees, and other related relief.
On March
22, 2024, plaintiffs voluntarily withdrew two of their five causes of action.
On April 8, 2024, the court denied the
Company’s motion to dismiss the remaining claims.
The case remains pending.
We intend to defend ourselves
vigorously against this action.
Henry Schein, Inc. and its affiliate, North American Rescue, LLC (“NAR”), have
been named as defendants in a
qui tam lawsuit brought under the federal False Claims Act (“FCA”), in
an action entitled
Russ and Murphy ex rel.
United States v. North American Rescue, LLC et al.
; Case No. 21-cv-04238, filed in the United States District
Court
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The case was filed under seal in 2021 by two relators (Corey
Russ and
Chris Murphy) who worked for one of NAR’s competitors.
Relators also name C-A-T Resources, LLC (“CAT-R”)
as a defendant.
CAT
-R manufactures one of the products at issue in the case (the
combat application tourniquet, or

“CAT”).
After the Department of Justice declined to intervene, the case was unsealed,
and Relators filed their first
amended complaint in November 2023.
In response to motions to dismiss filed by Henry Schein, NAR
and CAT-
R, Relators requested and obtained leave to file their Second Amended
Complaint on April 24, 2024.
Relators’
FCA claims are based on allegations that NAR and Henry Schein made false
representations and certifications in
connection with, and sold and submitted false claims for payment to the federal
government for, various medical
products that Relators contend violated certain “Buy American”
laws (e.g., the Berry Amendment and Trade
Agreements Act of 1979) and/or were not properly sterilized as noted
on the products’ packaging, and thus
misbranded.
These products include the CAT,
syringes, compressed gauze, tracheostomy kits, hypothermia
blankets, eye, ear, nose and throat kits, and trauma dressing.
Relators allege Henry Schein controlled and
supervised NAR’s alleged misconduct for a period of time.
Relators seek three times the amount of damages to be
proved at trial, statutory civil penalties, reasonable expenses, attorneys’
fees and costs, and prejudgment
interest.
We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against this action.
From time to time, we may become a party to other legal proceedings,
 
including, without limitation, product
liability claims, employment matters, commercial disputes, governmental
 
inquiries and investigations (which may
in some cases involve our entering into settlement arrangements or consent
 
decrees), and other matters arising out
of the ordinary course of our business.
 
While the results of any legal proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty,
in our opinion none of these other pending matters are currently
 
anticipated to have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
As of April 1, 2023,March 30, 2024, we had accrued our best estimate of potential losses
 
relating to claims that were probable to
result in liability and for which we were able to reasonably estimate a
 
loss.
 
This accrued amount, as well as related
expenses, was not material to our financial position, results of operations
 
or cash flows.
 
Our method for
determining estimated losses considers currently available
 
facts, presently enacted laws and regulations and other
factors, including probable recoveries from third parties.

Note 1112 – Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based awards are provided to certain employees under the terms of
our 2020 Stock Incentive
Plan and to non-employee
non-employee directors under the terms of our 20152023 Non-Employee Director
Stock Incentive Plan
(formerly known as the 2015 Non-
Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan) (together, the
“Plans” “Plans”).
 
The Plans are administered by the Compensation
Committee of the Board
of Directors (the
“Compensation “Compensation Committee”).
 
Historically, equity-based awards to our
employees have been granted solely in the
form of time-based and performance-based
restricted stock units
(“RSUs”)
with the exception of our 2021 plan year
in which non-qualified
stock options were issued in place of
performance-based
RSUs.
In RSUs and in 2022, when we granted time-time-based and
based and performance-based RSUs, as well as non-qualifiednon-
qualified stock
options.
 
For our 2023 plan year, we returned to
granting our employees equity-based awards solely
in the form of time-based
and performance-based RSUs.
 
Our
non-employee directors receive equity-based awards
solely in the form
of time-based RSUs.
RSUs are stock-based awards granted to recipients with specified vesting provisions.
 
In the case of RSUs, common
stock is delivered on or following satisfaction of vesting conditions.
 
We issue RSUs to employees that primarily
vest (i) solely based on the recipient’s continued service over time, primarily with
four
-year cliff vesting and/or (ii)
based on achieving specified performance measurements and the recipient’s continued service over time, primarily
with
three
-year cliff vesting.
 
RSUs granted to our non-employee directors primarily are granted
withinclude
12

cliff vesting.
 
For these RSUs, we recognize the cost as compensation expense on a straight-line

With respect to time-basedFor all RSUs, we estimate the fair value based on our closing stock
price on the date of
grant.grant date.
 
With respect to
performance-based RSUs, the number of shares that ultimately vest and are
 
are received by the
recipient is based upon
our performance as measured against specified
targets over a specified period, as
determined by the Compensation
Committee.
 
Although there is no guarantee that performance targets will be
achieved, we
estimate the fair value of
performance-based RSUs based on
our closing stock price at time of grant.
Each of the Plans provide for certain adjustments to the performance
 
measurement in connection with awards under
the Plans.
 
With respect to the performance-based RSUs granted under our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, such
performance measurement adjustments relate to significant events, including,
 
without limitation, acquisitions,
divestitures, new business ventures, certain capital transactions (including share
 
repurchases), differences in
budgeted average outstanding shares (other than those resulting from capital
 
transactions referred to above),
restructuring costs, if any, amortization expense recorded for acquisition-related intangible assets (solely with
respect to performance-based RSUs granted in the 2023 and 2024 plan years),
certain litigation settlements or
payments, if any, changes in accounting principles or in
applicable laws or regulations, changes in income tax rates
in certain
markets, foreign exchange fluctuations, the
financial impact
either positive or negative, of the difference
in projected earnings

Executive-Level Overview
Henry Schein, Inc. is a solutions company for health care professionals powered
 
by a network of people and
technology.
 
We
believe we are the world’s
largest provider of health care products and services primarily to office-
based dental and medical practitioners, as well as alternate sites of care.
 
We
serve more than one million customers
worldwide including dental practitioners, laboratories, physician practices and
 
ambulatory surgery centers, as well
as government, institutional health care clinics and other alternate care clinics.
 
We
believe that we have a strong
brand identity due to our more than 9091 years of experience distributing health
 
care products.
We are headquartered in Melville, New York,
 
employ more than 22,000approximately 25,000 people (of which approximately 10,700
are
13,000 are based outside of the United States) and have operations or
affiliates in 3233 countries
and territories.
 
Our broad
broad global footprint has evolved over time through our organic success as well as
 
through contribution from strategic
strategic acquisitions.
We
have established strategically located distribution centers around
 
the world to enable us to better serve our
customers and increase our operating efficiency.
 
This infrastructure, together with broad product and service
offerings at competitive prices, and a strong commitment to customer service, enables
 
us to be a single source of
supply for our customers’ needs.
While our primary go-to-market strategy is in our capacity as a distributor, we also market and sell our own
corporate brand portfolio of cost-effective, high-quality consumable merchandise products,
 
including in vitro
diagnostic devices, manufacture certain
dental specialty products in
the areas of implants, orthodontics and
endodontics,
manufacture drug products, and repackage/relabel prescription drugs
drugs and/or devices.
 
We
have
achieved scale in these global businesses primarily through acquisitions, as
 
as
manufacturers of these products
typically do not utilize a distribution channel
to serve customers.
We
conduct our business through two reportable segments: (i) health
 
care distribution and (ii) technology and
value-added services.
 
These segments offer different products and services to the same customer base.
 
Our global
dental businesses serve office-based dental practitioners, dental laboratories, schools, government
 
and other
institutions.
 
Our medical businesses serve physician offices, urgent care centers, ambulatory care sites,
 
emergency
medical technicians, dialysis centers, home health, federal and state governments
 
and large enterprises, such as
group practices, and integrated delivery networks, among other providers
 
across a wide range of specialties.
 
The health care distribution reportable segment, combining our global dental and
 
medical operating segments,
distributes consumable products, small equipment, laboratory products, large equipment, equipment
 
repair services,
branded and generic pharmaceuticals, vaccines, surgical products, dental specialty
 
products (including implant,
orthodontic and endodontic products), diagnostic tests, infection-control products,
 
PPE products, vitamins and vitamins.
orthopedic implants.
 
Our global technology and value-added services business provides software, technology
 
and other value-added
services to health care practitioners.
 
Our technology business offerings include practice management software
systems for dental and medical practitioners.
 
Our value-added practice solutions include practice consultancy,
education, revenue cycle management and financial services on a non-recourse
 
basis, e-services, practice
technology, network and hardware services, as well as consulting, and continuing education services for
practitioners.
A key element to grow closer to our customers is our One Schein initiative, which
 
is a unified go-to-market
approach that enables practitioners to work synergistically with our supply chain,
 
equipment sales and service and
other value-added services, allowing our customers to leverage the
 
combined value that we offer through a single
program.
 
Specifically, One Schein provides customers with streamlined access to our comprehensive offering of
national brand products, our corporate brand products and proprietary specialty
 
products and solutions (including
implant, orthodontic and endodontic products).
 
In addition, customers have access to a wide range of services,
including software and other value-added services.

Industry Overview
In recent years, the health care industry has increasingly focused on cost containment.
 
This trend has benefited
distributors capable of providing a broad array of products and services at low
 
prices.
 
It also has accelerated the
growth of HMOs, group practices, other managed care accounts and collective buying
 
groups, which, in addition to
their emphasis on obtaining products at competitive prices, tend to favor distributors
 
capable of providing
specialized management information support.
 
We
believe that the trend towards cost containment has the potential
to favorably affect demand for technology solutions, including software, which can
 
enhance the efficiency and
facilitation of practice management.
Our operating results in recent years have been significantly affected by strategies
 
and transactions that we
undertook to expand our business, domestically and internationally, in part to address significant changes in the
health care industry, including consolidation of health care distribution companies, health care reform, trends
toward managed care, cuts in Medicare and collective purchasing arrangements.
Industry Consolidation
The health care products distribution industry, as it relates to office-based health care practitioners, is fragmented
and diverse.
 
The industry ranges from sole practitioners working out of
 
relatively small offices to group practices
or service organizations ranging in size from a few practitioners to a large number of practitioners who have
combined or otherwise associated their practices.
Due in part to the inability of office-based health care practitioners to store and manage
 
large quantities of supplies
in their offices, the distribution of health care supplies and small equipment to office-based health
 
care practitioners
has been characterized by frequent, small quantity orders, and a need for rapid,
 
reliable and substantially complete
order fulfillment.
 
The purchasing decisions within an office-based health care practice are typically
 
are typically made by the
practitioner or an administrative assistant.
 
Supplies and small equipment are generally purchased from more
 
than
one distributor, with one generally serving as the primary supplier.
The trend of consolidation extends to our customer base.
 
Health care practitioners are increasingly seeking to
partner, affiliate or combine with larger entities such as hospitals, health systems, group practices or physician
hospital organizations.
 
In many cases, purchasing decisions for consolidated groups
 
are made at a centralized or
professional staff level; however, orders are delivered to the practitioners’ offices.
We
believe that consolidation within the industry will continue to
 
result in a number of distributors, particularly
those with limited financial, operating and marketing resources, seeking to
 
combine with larger companies that can
provide growth opportunities.
 
This consolidation also may continue to result in distributors seeking
 
to acquire
companies that can enhance their current product and service offerings or provide
 
opportunities to serve a broader
customer base.
Our approach to acquisitions and joint ventures has been to expand our role as
 
a provider of products and services
to the health care industry.
 
This trend has resulted in our expansion into service areas that complement
 
our existing
operations and provide opportunities for us to develop synergies with, and thus strengthen, the acquired
 
businesses.
As industry consolidation continues, we believe that we are positioned to
 
to capitalize on this trend, as we believe we
have the ability to support increased sales through our existing infrastructure, although
 
there can be no assurances
that we will be able to successfully accomplish this.
 
We
also have invested in expanding
our sales/marketing
infrastructure to include a focus on building relationships with decision
 
makers who do not reside in the office-
based practitioner setting.
As the health care industry continues to change, we continually evaluate possible
 
candidates for joint venture or
acquisition and intend to continue to seek opportunities to expand our
 
role as a provider of products and services to
the health care industry.
 
There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully pursue
 
any such
opportunity or consummate any such transaction, if pursued.
 
If additional transactions are entered into or
3135
consummated, we would incur merger and/or acquisition-related costs, and there
 
can be no assurance that the
integration efforts associated with any such transaction would be successful.
Aging Population and Other Market Influences
The health care products distribution industry continues to experience growth
 
due to the aging population,
increased health care awareness, the proliferation of medical technology
 
and testing, new pharmacology treatments,pharmacological
treatments, and expanded third-party insurance coverage, partially offset by the effects of unemployment
on insurance
insurance coverage.
 
In addition, the physician market continues to benefit from the
 
the shift of procedures and
diagnostic testing
from acute care settings to alternate-care sites, particularly physicians’
 
physicians’ offices.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Database, between 2023 2024
and 2033,2034, the 45 and older
population is expected to grow by approximately 11%.
 
Between 20232024 and 2043,2044, this age group is expected to grow
by approximately 21%20%.
 
This compares with expected total U.S. population growth
 
rates of approximately 6%
between 20232024 and 2033 2034
and approximately 11% between 20232024 and 2043.2044.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Database, in 2023 2024
there are approximately seven million
Americans aged 85 years or older, the segment of the population most in need of long-term care
 
and elder-care
services.
 
By the year 2050, that number is projected to nearly triple to approximately
 
19 million.
 
The population
aged 65 to 84 years is projected to increase by approximately 23%20% during
 
the same period.
As a result of these market dynamics, annual expenditures for health
 
care services continue to increase in the
United States.
 
We believe that demand for our products and services will grow while continuing to be impacted by
current and future operating, economic, and industry conditions.
 
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
or CMS,(“CMS”) published “National Health Expenditure Data” indicating that total
 
total national health care spending reached
approximately $4.3$4.5 trillion in 2021,2022, or 18.3%17.3% of the nation’s gross domestic product, the benchmark
 
measure for
annual production of goods and services in the United States.
 
Health care spending is projected to reach
approximately $6.8$7.2 trillion by 2030,2031, or 19.6% of the nation’s projected gross domestic product.
Government
Certain of our businesses involve the distribution, manufacturing, importation,
 
exportation, marketing, and sale of,and
and/or third party payment for,promotion of pharmaceuticals and/or medical devices, and in this regard, we
are subject
to
extensive local, state,
federal and foreign governmental laws and regulations,
including as applicable
to our
wholesale distribution of
pharmaceuticals and medical devices, manufacturing
activities, and as part of
our
specialty home medical supply business
businesses that distributesdistribute and sellssell medical equipment
and supplies directly
to
patients.
 
Federal, state and certain
foreign governments have also increased enforcement
activity in the health care
sector, particularly in areas of fraud
and abuse, anti-bribery and corruption,anti-corruption, controlled substances handling,
 
medical
device regulations and data
privacy and security standards.
Certain of our businesses are subject to various additional federal, state,involve pharmaceuticals and/or medical devices,
 
localincluding in vitro diagnostic devices,
that are paid for by third parties and foreign laws and regulations,
including with respect to the sale, transportation, storage, handling and
disposal of hazardous or potentially
hazardous substances, and safe working conditions.
In addition, certain of our businesses must operate in
compliance with a variety of
burdensome and complex coding,
billing and record-keeping
requirements in order to
substantiate claims for
payment under federal, state and
commercial healthcare
reimbursement programs.
One of
these businesses was suspended in October 2021 by CMS from receiving
payments from Medicare, although it was
permitted to continue to perform and bill for Medicare services.
Such suspension was terminated on September 30,
2022.

Plan of Restructuring
On August 1, 2022, we committed to a restructuring plan focused on
 
funding the priorities of the BOLD+1 strategic
plan, and
streamlining operations and other initiatives to increase efficiency.
 
We expectrevised our previous expectations of
completion and we have extended this initiative to extend through
2023. the end of 2024.
 
We are currently unable in good faith to
make a determination of an estimate of the amount or range of amounts
amounts expected to be incurred in connection with
these activities, both with
respect to each major type of cost associated
associated therewith and with respect to the total cost, or an
estimate of
the amount or range of amounts that will
result in future
cash expenditures.
During the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, we
recorded restructuring costs of $10 million
and $30 million, respectively.
 
$30 millionThe restructuring costs for these periods primarily related to severance
and
severance and employee-related costs, accelerated amortization of right-of-use
 
lease assets and fixed assets, and
other lease exit costs.
This amount also includes $1 million related to the disposal
of an unprofitable U.S. business,
initiated during 2022 and completed during the three months ended April

Dental
Dental net sales for the three months ended March 30, 2024 increased 0.8%.
The components of our sales growth
are presented in the table above.
The increase in local currency sales was attributable to the acquisitions of
Biotech Dental and S.I.N. during the year
ended December 30, 2023.
The decrease in internally generated local currency sales for dental
merchandise was
primarily attributable to the residual impact of the cyber incident.
Our sales increase in internally generated local
currency for dental equipment was primarily attributable to some sales shifting
into the first quarter of 2024 due to
the delay of equipment installations during the fourth quarter of 2023
resulting from the impact of the cyber
incident.
We estimate that sales of PPE products were approximately $79 million and $92 million for the three months ended
March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively, representing an estimated decrease of $13 million, or 14.5% versus
the prior year, with the $13 million net decrease year-over-year representing 0.7% of dental net sales for
the three
months ended March 30, 2024.
The decrease in sales of PPE products is primarily due to lower
market prices and
reduced demand following the cyber incident.

As a result of different practices of categorizing costs associated with distribution networks
throughout our
industry, our gross margins may not necessarily be comparable to other distribution companies.
Additionally, we
realize substantially higher gross margin percentages in our technology and value-added services
segment than in
our health care distribution segment.
These higher gross margins result from being both the developer and seller of
software products and services, as well as certain financial services.
The software industry typically realizes higher
gross margins to recover investments in research and development.
Within our health care distribution segment, gross profit margins may vary from one period to the next.
Changes in
the mix of products sold as well as changes in our customer mix have been
the most significant drivers affecting
our gross profit margin.
For example, sales of our corporate brand products achieve
gross profit margins that are
higher than average total gross profit margins of all products.
With respect to customer mix, sales to our large-
group customers are typically completed at lower gross margins due to the higher
volumes sold as opposed to the
gross margin on sales to office-based practitioners, who normally purchase lower volumes.
Health care distribution gross profit decreased primarily due to the decrease
in net sales discussed above, partially
offset by $11 million of gross profit from acquisitions and gross margin expansion, mainly as a result of price
increases and a favorable impact of sales mix of higher-margin products.
Technology and value-added services gross profit increased as a result of a higher gross profit from internally
generated sales and gross profit of $3 million from acquisitions, as well as an
increase in gross margin rates
primarily due to the impact of price increases.4.7

year-period due to gross profit from acquisitions and gross margin expansion as a result of a favorable
impact of
sales mix of higher-margin products, partially offset by the decrease in sales resulting from
the residual impact of
the cyber incident and a reduction in sales of PPE products and COVID-19
test kits.
Technology and value-added services gross profit increased as a result of a higher gross profit from internally
generated sales and gross profit from acquisitions.
The slight decrease in gross margin rates was primarily due to
amortization expense.

The Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) issued
technical and administrative
guidance on Pillar Two Model Rules in December 2021, which provides for a global minimum tax rate on the
earnings of large multinational businesses on a country-by-country basis.
Effective January 1, 2024, the minimum
global tax rate is 15% for various jurisdictions pursuant to the Pillar Two framework.
Future tax reform resulting
from these developments may result in changes to long-standing tax principles,
which may adversely impact our
effective tax rate going forward or result in higher cash tax liabilities.
As of March 30, 2024, the impact of the
Pillar Two Rules to our financial statements was immaterial.
As we operate in jurisdictions which have adopted
Pillar Two, we are continuing to analyze the implications to effectively manage the impact for 2024 and beyond.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal capital requirements have included funding of acquisitions, purchases
 
of additional noncontrolling
interests, repayments of debt principal, the funding of working capital needs,
 
purchases of fixed assets and
repurchases of common stock.
 
Working capital requirements generally result from increased sales, special
inventory forward buy-in opportunities and payment terms for receivables
 
and payables.
 
Historically, sales have
tended to be stronger during the second half of the year and special inventory
 
forward buy-in opportunities have
been most prevalent just before the end of the year, and have caused our working capital requirements
 
to be higher
from the end of the third quarter to the end of the first quarter of
 
the following year.
We finance our business primarily through cash generated from our operations, revolving credit facilities and debt
placements.
 
Please see
 
for further information.
 
Our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from
operations is dependent on the continued demand of our customers
 
for our products and services, and access to
products and services from our suppliers.
Our business requires a substantial investment in working capital, which
 
is susceptible to fluctuations during the
year as a result of inventory purchase patterns and seasonal demands.
 
Inventory purchase activity is a function of
sales activity, special inventory forward buy-in opportunities and our desired level of inventory.
 
We anticipate
future increases in our working capital requirements.
We finance our business to provide adequate funding for at least 12 months.
 
Funding requirements are based on
forecasted profitability and working capital needs, which, on occasion, may
 
change.
 
Consequently, we may change
our funding structure to reflect any new requirements.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, our ability to access private debt markets and public equity markets,
and our available funds under existing credit facilities provide us with
 
sufficient liquidity to meet our currently
foreseeable short-term and long-term capital needs.
Our acquisition strategy is focused on investments in companies that
add new customers and sales teams, increase
our geographic footprint (whether entering a new country, such as emerging markets, or building scale where we
have already invested in businesses), and finally, those that enable us to access new products and technologies.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $27$197 million for the
 
three months ended April 1, 2023,March 30, 2024, compared to
to net cash provided by operating activities of $93$27 million for the prior
year.
The net change of $170 million was
primarily attributable to changes in working capital accounts, primarily
accounts receivable and accounts payable
and accrued expenses; and lower cash net income.
During the quarter ended March 30, 2024, the cyber incident
had several residual impacts to the operating cash flows from our working
capital, net of acquisitions, including an
increase in operating cash flows from accounts receivable due to improved
collection levels and decreased cash
flows from accounts payable and accrued expenses resulting from previously delayed
payments.
Net cash used in investing activities was $72 million for the three

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including
 
our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report
 
as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
 
amended (the “Exchange Act”).
 
Based
on this evaluation, our management, including our principal executive
 
officer and principal financial officer,
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 1,March
 
2023,30, 2024, to ensure that all material
material information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file
or submit
under the Exchange Act is accumulated
accumulated and communicated to them as appropriate to allow timely decisions
 
decisions regarding required disclosure and
that all such
information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the
time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules
and forms.forms, and the rules of the Nasdaq stock exchange.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The combination of continued acquisition integrations and systems implementation
 
implementation activity undertaken during the
quarter ended April 1, 2023 and carried over from prior quarters when considered
in the aggregate, does not
representrepresents a material change in our
internal control over financial reporting.
During the quarter ended March 30, 2024, post-acquisition integration related
activities continued for our medical
and dental businesses acquired during prior quarters.
These acquisitions, the majority of which utilize separate
information and financial accounting systems, have been included
in our condensed consolidated financial
statements since their respective dates of acquisition.
In addition, we completed systems implementation activities related
to a new ERP system for two of our dental
businesses in Brazil.
Finally, we continued systems implementation activities in the US for two of our dental
businesses.
All continued acquisition integrations and systems implementation activity
involve necessary and appropriate
change-management controls that are considered in our quarterly assessment of
the design and operating
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
The deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting identified
as of December 30, 2023 at the application
control level related to logical and user access management and segregation
of duties have been the subject of
ongoing review and the development and implementation of specific
remediation action plans, including the testing
and validation of control operating effectiveness, which is expected to be completed
prior to year-end.

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
 
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the internal control system are met.
 
Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control
system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
 
all control issues, if any, within a company
have been detected.
