Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HenrySchein, Inc., and all of our

controlled subsidiaries (“we”, “us” and “our”).All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in

consolidation.Investments in unconsolidated affiliates for which we have the ability to influencethe 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, didnot

have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial condition,results of operations or cash flows.

Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementshave 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 completefinancial statements.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should beread in conjunction with the audited

consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financialstatements contained in our Annual Report

on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023 and with the informationcontained 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 ofthe 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 principlesgenerally accepted in the United

States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and

disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financialstatements 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 and nine months ended September 28, 2024are not necessarily indicative of the results to

be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 28, 2024.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates andassumptions made by us that affect, among

other things, our goodwill, long-lived asset and definite-lived intangibleasset valuation; inventory valuation; equity

investment valuation; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation ofdeferred income taxes and income

tax contingencies; the allowance for credit losses; hedging activity; supplierrebates; measurement of compensation

cost for certain share-based performance awards and cash bonus plans; andpension plan assumptions.

We consolidate the results of operations and financial position of a trade accounts receivable securitization which

we consider a VIE because we are its primary beneficiary, as we have the power to direct activities that most

significantly affect its economic performance and have the obligation to absorb themajority of its losses or

benefits.For this VIE, the trade accounts receivable transferredto the VIE are pledged as collateral to the related

debt.The VIE’s creditors have recourse to us for losses on these trade accounts receivable.At September 28, 2024

and December 30, 2023, certain trade accounts receivable that canonly be used to settle obligations of this VIE

were $

341

million and $

284

million, respectively, and the liabilities of this VIE where the creditors have recourse

to us were $

210

million and $

210

million, respectively.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued AccountingStandards

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies duringthe three and nine months ended

September 28, 2024, as compared to the significant accounting policiesdescribed in Item 8 of our Annual Report

on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update

(“ASU”) 2024-01, “

Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and

Similar Awards,

” which clarifies how to determine whether profits interest andsimilar 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 amendsthe structure of paragraph 718-10-15-3 of

Topic 718 to improve its clarity and operability.The guidance in ASU 2024-01 applies to all entities thatissue

profits interest awards as compensation to employees or nonemployeesin exchange for goods or services.Entities

can apply the amendments either retrospectively to all periods presentedin the financial statements or prospectively

to profits interest awards granted or modified on or after the dateof adoption.If prospective application is elected,

an entity must disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principlethat resulted from the

adoption of the ASU.This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024,including interim

periods within those fiscal years.We do not expect that the requirements of ASU 2024 – 01 will have a material

impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “

Income Taxes (Topic740): Improvements to Income Tax

Disclosures

,” which requires public business entities to disclose additionalinformation in specified categories with

respect to the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state andforeign income taxes.

It also requires greater detail about individual reconciling items inthe 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 jurisdictionsto the extent the related amounts exceed a

quantitative threshold.The ASU also describes items that need to be disaggregatedbased on their nature, which is

determined by reference to the item’s fundamental or essential characteristics, such as the transaction or eventthat

triggered the establishment of the reconciling item and the activity with whichthe reconciling item is associated.

The ASU eliminates the historic requirement that entities disclose informationconcerning unrecognized tax

benefits having a reasonable possibility of significantly increasingor 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 beenissued 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 consolidatedfinancial 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 disclosureof incremental segment information

on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors todevelop more decision-useful financial

analyses.Currently, Topic280 requires that a public entity disclose certain information about itsreportable

segments.For example, a public entity is required to report a measure ofsegment profit or loss that the chief

operating decision maker uses to assess segment performance andmake 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 do not change or

remove those disclosure requirements and do not change how a publicentity identifies its operating segments,

aggregates those operating segments or applies the quantitative thresholdsto determine its reportable segments.

This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interimperiods within fiscal years

beginning after December 15, 2024.Early adoption is permitted.We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU

2023- 07 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Cyber Incident

In October 2023 Henry Schein experienced a cyber incident that primarilyaffected 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 managementsolutions 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 was remediated.

During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, we had asales decrease in our dental and medical

distribution businesses, which we believe was primarily a result of lower salesto episodic customers following last

year’s cyber incident.

During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, weincurred $

1

million and $

9

million, respectively,

of expenses directly related to the cyber incident, mostly consistingof 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.During the three and nine months ended

September 28, 2024, we received insurance proceeds of $

10

million and $

20

million, respectively, representing a

partial insurance recovery of losses related to the cyber incident.The expenses and insurance recoveries related to

the cyber incident are included in the selling, general and administrativeline in our condensed consolidated

statements of income.

Business Acquisitions

Our acquisition strategy is focused on investments in companies thatadd 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.

Except for in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), intangible assetsacquired as a result of the TriMed

acquisition are being amortized over their estimated useful livesusing the straight-line method of amortization.

The IPR&D is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset andis not amortized until completion or

abandonment of the associated research and development efforts.IPR&D is tested for impairment annually or

periodically if an indicator of impairment exists during the period until completion.

pending assessments of accounts receivable, right-of-use lease assets,accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, income

and non-income based taxes.During the three months ended September 28, 2024, we did notrecord any material

measurement period adjustments.We expect to finalize these amounts as soon as possible but no later than one

year from the acquisition date.

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset orpaid 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 obtainedfrom 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 thehighest priority to unadjusted quoted prices

in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priorityto 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 assetsor liabilities that are accessible at the

measurement date.

•Level 2— Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that areobservable for the asset or liability,

either directly or indirectly.Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in activemarkets;

quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in marketsthat are not active; inputs other than quoted

prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that arederived 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 instrumentsand the methodologies that we used to

measure their fair values.

Investments and notes receivable

There are no quoted market prices available for investments in unconsolidatedaffiliates 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 applicablemarkets.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 maturitiesof long-term debt and long-term debt) is

based on Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, and as of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 was

estimated at $

2,653

million and $

2,351

million, respectively.Factors that we considered when estimating the fair

value of our debt include market conditions, such as interest rates and creditspreads.

Derivative contracts

Derivative contracts are valued using quoted market prices andsignificant other observable inputs.Our derivative

instruments primarily include foreign currency forward agreements, forecastedinventory purchase commitments,

foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and total return swaps.

The fair values for the majority of our foreign currency derivative contractsare obtained by comparing our contract

rate to a published forward price of the underlying market rates, whichare based on market rates for comparable

transactions that are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the interest rate swap, which is classified within Level 2of the fair value hierarchy, is determined

by comparing our contract rate to a forward market rate as of thevaluation date.

The fair value of total return swaps is determined by valuing the underlyingexchange traded funds of the swap

using market-on-close pricing by industry providers as of the valuationdate that are classified within Level 2 of the

fair value hierarchy.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests

The values for redeemable noncontrolling interests are based on recenttransactions and/or implied multiples of

earnings that are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

See

for additional information.

Intangible Assets

Assets measured on a non-recurring basis at fair value include intangibles.Inputs for measuring intangibles are

classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Contingent Consideration

We estimate the fair value of contingent consideration payments as part of the acquisition price and record the

estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability on ourcondensed consolidated balance sheet.For

transactions accounted for as business combinations, subsequent changesin the estimated fair value of contingent

consideration payments are included in selling, general, and administrativeexpenses in our condensed consolidated

statements of income.For transactions involving changes in our ownership in subsidiarieswithout a change in our

control, subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of contingent considerationpayments are recognized in

additional paid-in capital in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.We measure contingent consideration at the

fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs classifiedas Level 3 of the fair value

hierarchy.We use various valuation techniques, including the Monte Carlo simulation and probability-weighted

scenarios, to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities onthe acquisition date and at each

reporting period.Our fair value measurement inputs include expected operatingperformance, discount and risk-

free rates, and credit spread.

Term Loan

On July 11, 2023, we entered into a

three-year

$

750

million term loan credit agreement (the “Term Credit

Agreement”).The interest rate on this term loan is based on the

Term SOFR

plus a spread based on our leverage

ratio at the end of each financial reporting quarter.This term loan matures on

July 11, 2026

.We are required to

make quarterly payments of $

9

million from September 2024 through June 2026, with the remainingbalance due in

July 2026.Previously, we had been required to make quarterly payments of $

5

million from September 2023

through June 2024.As of September 28, 2024, the borrowings outstanding underthis term loan were $

722

million.

At September 28, 2024, the interest rate under the Term Credit Agreement was

5.10

% plus

1.60

% for a combined

rate of

6.70

%.As of December 30, 2023, the borrowings outstanding underthis term loan were $

December 30, 2023, the interest rate under the Term Credit Agreement was

5.36

% plus

1.35

% for a combined rate

of

%.However, we have a hedge in place that ultimately creates an effective fixed rate of

6.04

% and

% at

September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively.The Term Credit Agreement requires, among other

things, that we maintain certain maximum leverage ratios.Additionally, the TermCredit Agreement contains

customary representations, warranties and affirmative covenants as well as customarynegative covenants, subject

to negotiated exceptions, on liens, indebtedness, significant corporate changes(including mergers), dispositions and

certain restrictive agreements.

U.S. Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization

We have a facility agreement based on our U.S. trade accounts receivable that is structured as an asset-backed

securitization program with pricing committed for up to

three years

.This facility agreement has a purchase limit of

$

450

million with

two

banks as agents, and expires on

December 15, 2025

.

As of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the borrowingsoutstanding under this securitization facility

were $

210

million and $

210

million, respectively.At September 28, 2024, the interest rate on borrowings under

this facility was based on the

asset-backed commercial paper rate

of

5.28

% plus

0.75

%, for a combined rate of

6.03

%.At December 30, 2023, the interest rate on borrowings underthis facility was based on the asset-backed

commercial paper rate of

% plus

0.75

%, for a combined rate of

6.42

%.

If our accounts receivable collection pattern changes due to customerseither paying late or not making payments,

our ability to borrow under this facility may be reduced.

We are required to pay a commitment fee of

Note 9 – Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 28, 2024 our effective tax rate was

25.1

%, compared to

22.5

% for the prior

year period.The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate primarilyrelates to state

and foreign income taxes and interest expense.

The Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) issuedtechnical and administrative

guidance on Pillar Two 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 rules.As of September 28, 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 impactfor 2024 and beyond.

Future tax reform resulting from these developments may result in changesto long-standing tax principles, which

may adversely impact our effective tax rate going forward or result in higher cashtax liabilities.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, which are included in“other liabilities” within our condensed

consolidated balance sheets, as of September 28, 2024 and December 30,2023, was $

107

million and $

115

million,

respectively, of which $

99

million and $

107

million, respectively, would affect the effective tax rate if recognized.

It is possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits willchange in the next 12 months, which may result in a

material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of income.

All tax returns audited by the IRS are officially closed through 2020.The tax years subject to examination by the

IRS include years 2021 and forward.In addition, limited positions reported in the 2017 tax year are subjectto IRS

examination.

The amount of tax interest expense included as a component of the provisionfor taxes was $

1

million and $

3

million for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September30, 2023,respectively.The total amount of

accrued interest is included in “other liabilities,” and was $

18

million as of September 28, 2024 and $

16

million as

of December 30, 2023.The amount of penalties accrued for during the periods presented was notmaterial to our

condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 10 – Plans of Restructuring

On August 1, 2022, we committed to a restructuring plan (the “2022 Plan”)focused on funding the priorities of the

BOLD+1 strategic plan, streamlining operations and other initiatives toincrease efficiency.The 2022 Plan has

been completed as of July 31, 2024.During the three months ended September 28, 2024 andSeptember 30, 2023,

in connection with our 2022 Plan, we recorded restructuring costs of$

12

million and $

11

million, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023,in connection with our 2022 Plan, we

recorded restructuring costs of $

37

million and $

59

million, respectively.The restructuring costs for these periods

primarily related to severance and employee-related costs, accelerated amortizationof right-of-use lease assets and

fixed assets, and other exit costs.We expect to record immaterial charges associated with the 2022 Plan during the

remainder of 2024.

On August 6, 2024, we committed to a new restructuring plan (the “2024Plan”) to integrate recent acquisitions,

right-size operations and further increase efficiencies.During the three and nine months ended September 28,

2024, we recorded restructuring charges associated with the 2024 Plan of $

36

million which primarily related to

severance and employee-related costs, accelerated amortization of right-of-uselease assets and fixed assets, and

other lease exit costs.We expect to record restructuring charges associated with the 2024 Plan during the fourth

quarter of 2024 and in 2025, however an estimate of the amount of these charges has notyet been determined.

Restructuring costs recorded for the three and nine months ended September28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, in

Note 11 – Legal Proceedings

Henry Schein, Inc. has been named as a defendant in multiple opioidrelated 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 andtheir own market share and that the entities

in the supply chain (including Henry Schein, Inc. and its subsidiaries) reapedfinancial rewards by refusing or

otherwise failing to monitor appropriately and restrict the improper distributionof 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 outsideof the MDL.At this time, the

following case is set for trial: the action filed by Florida Health Sciences Center, Inc. (and

25

other hospitals located

throughout the State of Florida) in Florida state court, which is currentlyscheduled for a jury trial in September

2025.Of Henry Schein’s 2023 net sales of approximately $

12.3

billion, sales of opioids represented less than

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 UnitedStates Attorney’s Office for the

Western District of Virginia,seeking documents in connection with an investigation of possibleviolations 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 drugsto certain customers.In

October 2022, Henry Schein received a second Grand Jury Subpoenafrom the United States Attorney’s Office for

the Western District of Virginia.The October 2022 Subpoena seeks documents relating to payments HenrySchein

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 Companyin 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, alsoin the EDNY,Case No. 24-cv-550 (the

“Depperschmidt Action”).On February 12, 2024, the Depperschmidt Action was voluntarily dismissedwithout

prejudice.On February 16, 2024, an amended complaint was filed inthe 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 individualswhose personally identifying

information and personal health information was compromised bythe incident.Plaintiffs generally claim to have

been harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by the Companyin 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.

On June 6, 2024, plaintiffs and the Company informed the court that they had agreedto a term sheet for a class

action settlement of the Cruz-Bermudez Action.Plaintiffs and the Company entered into a class action settlement

agreement on September 13, 2024, and the court preliminarily approvedthe settlement on September 16,

2024.Under the terms of the proposed settlement, all claims in the Cruz-BermudezAction will be dismissed, the

Cruz-Bermudez Action will be terminated, the Company will receivea release of claims from the class, and the

Company will pay $

2.9

million into a fund for class members.The proposed settlement is subject to the court’s

final approval.The court has scheduled a fairness hearing on the proposed settlementfor February 14, 2025.

Henry Schein, Inc. and its subsidiary, North American Rescue, LLC (“NAR”), were 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 DistrictCourt

for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.The case was filed under seal in 2021 by two relators (CoreyRuss 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 (thecombat 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, NARand CAT-

R, Relators requested and obtained leave to file their Second AmendedComplaint on April 24, 2024.On July 26,

2024, the court ruled on motions to dismiss filed by Henry Schein,NAR and CAT-R.The court dismissed the

claims against Henry Schein (without prejudice).The motions to dismiss filed by NAR and CAT-R were

denied.Relators’ FCA claims are based on allegations that NAR made falserepresentations and certifications in

connection with, and sold and submitted false claims for payment to the federalgovernment 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 notedon the products’ packaging, and thus

blankets, eye, ear, nose and throat kits, and trauma dressing.Relators sought three times the amount of damages to

be proved at trial, statutory civil penalties, reasonable expenses, attorneys’fees and costs, and prejudgment

interest.Pursuant to a settlement for an immaterial amount, thecourt has dismissed the case with prejudice.

From time to time, we may become a party to other legal proceedings,including, without limitation, product

liability claims, employment matters, commercial disputes, governmentalinquiries and investigations (which may

in some cases involve our entering into settlement arrangements or consentdecrees), 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 currentlyanticipated to have a material adverse effect on our

consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

As of September 28, 2024, we had accrued our best estimate of potential lossesrelating to claims that were

probable to result in liability and for which we were able to reasonablyestimate 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 12 – Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based awards are provided to certain employees under our 2024 Stock IncentivePlan (formerly known as our

2020 Stock Incentive Plan) and to non-employee directors under our 2023 Non-EmployeeDirector Stock Incentive

Plan (together, the “Plans”).The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Boardof Directors

(the “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”) withthe exception of our 2021 plan

year in which non-qualified stock options were issued in place of performance-basedRSUs and in 2022, when we

granted time-based and performance-based RSUs, as well as non-qualifiedstock options.Starting with our 2023

plan year,we returned to granting our employees equity-based awardssolely in the form of time-based and

performance-based RSUs.Our non-employee directors receive equity-based awards solely in the formof 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 include

12

-month cliff vesting.

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

For all RSUs, we estimate the fair value based on our closing stockprice on the grant date.With respect to

performance-based RSUs, the number of shares that ultimately vest andare received by the recipient is based upon

our performance as measured against specified targets over a specified period, asdetermined by the Compensation

Committee.Although there is no guarantee that performance targets will be achieved, weestimate 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 performancemeasurement in connection with awards under

the Plans.With respect to the performance-based RSUs granted under our 2024 Stock Incentive Plan, such

performance measurement adjustments relate to significant events, including,without limitation, acquisitions,

divestitures, new business ventures, certain capital transactions (including sharerepurchases), differences in

budgeted average outstanding shares (other than those resulting from capitaltransactions 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 impacteither positive or negative, of the difference

in projected earnings generated by COVID-19 test kits (solely with respectto performance-based RSUs granted in

the 2022 and 2023 plan years) and impairment charges (solely with respect to performance-basedRSUs granted in

the 2023 and 2024 plan years), and unforeseen events or circumstancesaffecting us.

Over the performance period, the number of RSUs that will ultimately vestand be issued and the related

compensation expense is adjusted upward or downward based upon ourestimation of achieving such performance

targets.The ultimate number of shares delivered to recipients and the related compensationcost recognized as an

expense is based on our actual performance against the pre-determined performancemetrics (in each case as

adjusted).

Stock options are awards that allow the recipient to purchase shares of ourcommon stock after vesting at a fixed

price set at the time of grant.Stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to ourclosing stock price on the

date of grant.Stock options issued in 2021 and 2022 vest

one-third

per year based on the recipient’s continued

service, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan,are fully vested

three years

from the

grant date and have a contractual term of

ten years

from the grant date, subject to earlier termination of term and

term acceleration upon certain events.Compensation expense for stock options is recognized usinga graded

vesting method.We estimate grant date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

During the nine months ended September 28, 2024, we did

no

t grant any stock options.

Our condensed consolidated statements of income reflect pre-tax share-based compensationexpense of $

10

million,

and $

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards as of September 28, 2024 was $

million, which

is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately

years.

Our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows present ourstock-based compensation expense as a

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributableto Henry Schein, Inc. by the weighted-

average number of common shares outstanding for the period.Our diluted earnings per share is computed similarly

to basic earnings per share, except that it reflects the effect of common shares issuablefor unvested RSUs and upon

exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method in periodsin which they have a dilutive effect.

Where YouCan Find Important Information

We may disclose important information through one or more of the following channels: SEC filings, public

conference calls and webcasts, press releases, the investor relationspage of our website (www.henryschein.com)

and the social media channels identified on the About Media Center pageof our website.

Recent Developments

While the U.S. economy has experienced inflationary pressures andstrengthening of the U.S. dollar, their impacts

have not been material to our results of operations.Though inflation impacts both our revenues and costs, thedepth

and breadth of our product portfolio often allows us to offer lower-cost national brand solutionsor corporate brand

alternatives to our more price-sensitive customers who are unwilling toabsorb price increases, thus positioning us

to protect our gross profit.

Cyber Incident

In October 2023 Henry Schein experienced a cyber incident that primarilyaffected 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 managementsolutions 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 was remediated.

During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, we had asales decrease in our dental and medical

distribution businesses, which we believe was primarily a result of lower salesto episodic customers following last

year’s cyber incident.We have a number of programs underway focused on re-establishing these customers.

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.During the three and nine

months ended September 28, 2024, we received insurance proceeds of$10 million and $20 million, respectively,

representing a partial insurance recovery of losses related to the cyber incident.

Executive-Level Overview

Henry Schein, Inc. is a solutions company for health care professionals poweredby 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 andambulatory 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 92 years of experience distributing healthcare products.

We are headquartered in Melville, New York,employ approximately 26,000 people (of which approximately

13,000 are based outside of the United States) and have operations oraffiliates in 33 countries and territories.Our

broad global footprint has evolved over time through our organic success as well asthrough contribution from

strategic acquisitions.

We

have established strategically located distribution centers aroundthe 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, enablesus 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 inthe areas of implants, orthodontics and

endodontics, manufacture drug products, and repackage/relabel prescription drugsand/or devices.

We

have

achieved scale in these global businesses primarily through acquisitions, asmanufacturers of these products

typically do not utilize a distribution channel to serve customers.

We

conduct our business through two reportable segments: (i) healthcare 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, governmentand other

institutions.Our medical businesses serve physician offices, urgent care centers, ambulatory care sites,emergency

medical technicians, dialysis centers, home health, federal and state governmentsand large enterprises, such as

group practices, and integrated delivery networks, among other providersacross a wide range of specialties.

The health care distribution reportable segment, combining our global dental andmedical operating segments,

distributes consumable products, small equipment, laboratory products, large equipment, equipmentrepair services,

branded and generic pharmaceuticals, vaccines, surgical products, dental specialtyproducts (including implant,

orthodontic and endodontic products), diagnostic tests, infection-control products,personal protective equipment

(“PPE”) products, vitamins and orthopedic implants.

Our global technology and value-added services business provides software, technologyand 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-recoursebasis, 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, whichis 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 thecombined 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 specialtyproducts 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 lowprices.It also has accelerated the

growth of HMOs, group practices, other managed care accounts and collective buyinggroups, which, in addition to

their emphasis on obtaining products at competitive prices, tend to favor distributorscapable 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 canenhance the efficiency and

facilitation of practice management.

Our operating results in recent years have been significantly affected by strategiesand 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.

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 ofrelatively 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 managelarge quantities of supplies

in their offices, the distribution of health care supplies and small equipment to office-based healthcare 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 typicallymade by the

practitioner or an administrative assistant.Supplies and small equipment are generally purchased from morethan

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 groupsare 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 toresult in a number of distributors, particularly

those with limited financial, operating and marketing resources, seeking tocombine with larger companies that can

provide growth opportunities.This consolidation also may continue to result in distributors seekingto acquire

companies that can enhance their current product and service offerings or provideopportunities to serve a broader

customer base.

Our approach to acquisitions and joint ventures has been to expand our role asa provider of products and services

to the health care industry.This trend has resulted in our expansion into service areas that complementour existing

operations and provide opportunities for us to develop synergies with, and thus strengthen, the acquiredbusinesses.

As industry consolidation continues, we believe that we are positioned tocapitalize on this trend, as we believe we

have the ability to support increased sales through our existing infrastructure, althoughthere can be no assurances

that we will be able to successfully accomplish this.

We

are focused 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 possiblecandidates for joint venture or

acquisition and intend to continue to seek opportunities to expand ourrole as a provider of products and services to

the health care industry.There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully pursueany such

opportunity or consummate any such transaction, if pursued.If additional transactions are entered into or

consummated, we would incur merger and/or acquisition-related costs, and therecan 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 growthdue to the aging population,

increased health care awareness, the proliferation of medical technologyand testing, new pharmacological

treatments, and expanded third-party insurance coverage, partially offset by the effects of unemploymenton

insurance coverage.In addition, the physician market continues to benefit from theshift of procedures and

diagnostic testing from acute care settings to alternate-care sites, particularlyphysicians’ offices.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Database, between 2024and 2034, the 45 and older

population is expected to grow by approximately 11%.Between 2024 and 2044, this age group is expected to grow

by approximately 20%.This compares with expected total U.S. population growthrates of approximately 6%

between 2024 and 2034and approximately 11% between 2024 and 2044.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Database, in 2024there are approximately seven million

Americans aged 85 years or older, the segment of the population most in need of long-term careand elder-care

services.By the year 2050, that number is projected to nearly triple to approximately19 million.The population

aged 65 to 84 years is projected to increase by approximately 20% duringthe same period.

As a result of these market dynamics, annual expenditures for healthcare 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

(“CMS”) published “National Health Expenditure Data” indicating that totalnational health care spending reached

approximately $4.5 trillion in 2022, or 17.3% of the nation’s gross domestic product, the benchmarkmeasure for

annual production of goods and services in the United States.Health care spending is projected to reach

approximately $7.7 trillion by 2032, or 19.7% of the nation’s projected gross domestic product.

Government

Certain of our businesses involve the distribution, manufacturing, importation,exportation, marketing, sale and

promotion of pharmaceuticals and/or medical devices, and in this regard, weare subject to extensive local, state,

federal and foreign governmental laws and regulations, including as applicableto our wholesale distribution of

pharmaceuticals and medical devices, manufacturing activities, and as part ofour specialty home medical supply

businesses that distribute and sell medical equipment and supplies directlyto patients.Federal, state and certain

foreign governments have also increased enforcement activity in the health caresector, particularly in areas of fraud

and abuse, anti-bribery and anti-corruption, controlled substances handling,medical device regulations and data

privacy and security standards.

Certain of our businesses involve pharmaceuticals and/or medical devices,including in vitro diagnostic devices,

that are paid for by third parties and must operate in compliance with a variety ofburdensome and complex coding,

billing and record-keeping requirements in order to substantiate claims forpayment under federal, state and

commercial healthcare reimbursement programs.

Government and private insurance programs fund a large portion of the total cost of medical care,and there have

been efforts to limit such private and government insurance programs, including efforts, thus farunsuccessful, to

seek repeal of the entire United States Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,as amended by the Health Care

and Education Reconciliation Act, each enacted in March 2010.

Certain of our businesses are subject to various additional federal, state,local and foreign laws and regulations,

including with respect to the sale, transportation, importation, storage, handlingand disposal of hazardous or

potentially hazardous substances; “forever chemicals” such as per-andpolyfluoroalkyl substances; amalgam bans;

pricing disclosures; supply chain transparency around labor practices; and safe workingconditions.In addition,

activities to control medical costs, including laws and regulations loweringreimbursement rates for

pharmaceuticals, medical devices, medical supplies and/or medical treatmentsor services, are ongoing.CMS

recently released the 2024 durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthoticsand supplies (“DMEPOS”)

42

reimbursement schedule, which, effective January 1, 2024, reduced the DMEPOS reimbursementrates for non-

rural suppliers, such as us, by removing the Coronavirus Aid, Relief,and Economic Security (aka CARES) Act

relief rates in effect during the COVID-19 pandemic.This and other laws and regulations are subject to change and

their evolving implementation may impact our operations and ourfinancial performance.

Our businesses are generally subject to numerous laws and regulations that couldimpact our financial performance,

and failure to comply with such laws or regulations could have a material adverseeffect on our business.

A more detailed discussion of governmental laws and regulationsis included in Management’s Discussion &

Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, containedin our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the

fiscal year ended December 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024.

Plans of Restructuring

On August 1, 2022, we committed to a restructuring plan (the “2022 Plan”)focused on funding the priorities of the

BOLD+1 strategic plan, streamlining operations and other initiatives toincrease efficiency.The 2022 Plan has

been completed as of July 31, 2024.During the three months ended September 28, 2024 andSeptember 30, 2023,

in connection with our 2022 Plan, we recorded restructuring costs of$12 million and $11 million, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023,in connection with our 2022 Plan, we

recorded restructuring costs of $37 million and $59 million, respectively.The restructuring costs for these periods

primarily related to severance and employee-related costs, accelerated amortizationof right-of-use lease assets and

fixed assets, and other exit costs.We expect to record immaterial charges associated with the 2022 Plan during the

remainder of 2024.

On August 6, 2024, we committed to a new restructuring plan (the “2024Plan”) to integrate recent acquisitions,

right-size operations and further increase efficiencies.During the three and nine months ended September 28,

2024, we recorded restructuring charges associated with the 2024 Plan of $36 millionwhich primarily related to

severance and employee-related costs, accelerated amortization of right-of-uselease assets and fixed assets, and

other lease exit costs.We expect to record restructuring charges associated with the 2024 Plan during the fourth

quarter of 2024 and in 2025, however an estimate of the amount of these charges has notyet been determined.

Global Sales

Global net sales for the three months ended September 28, 2024 increased 0.4%.The components of our sales

growth are presented in the table above.

The 2.6% decrease in our internally generated local currency sales was primarilyattributable to the slower than

anticipated pace of recovery from the cyber incident, the challenging economicenvironment in certain markets and

lower sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits, partially offset by sales growth indental equipment and dental

specialty products.For the three months ended September 28, 2024, the estimateddecrease in internally generated

local currency sales, excluding PPE products and COVID-19test kits, was 2.2%.

We estimate that sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits were approximately $157 million and $175 million

for the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023,respectively, representing an estimated

decrease of $18 million, or 10.1% versus the prior year, with the $18 million net decrease year-over-year

representing 0.6% of global net sales for the three months ended September28, 2024.

45

Dental

Dental net sales for the three months ended September 28, 2024 decreased 1.6%.The components of our sales

decline are presented in the table above.

The decrease in local currency sales was attributable to a 1.6% decreasein internally generated local currency sales

of dental merchandise,partially offset by an increase in internally generated local currency sales of dental

equipment and dental specialty products and sales from entities acquiredduring the twelve months ended

September 28, 2024.The decrease in internally generated local currency salesof dental merchandise was primarily

attributable to the slower than anticipated pace of recovery fromthe cyber incident,the challenging economic

environment in certain markets, and lower sales of PPE products.The increase in internally generated local

currency sales of dental equipment was primarily attributable to certaininternational markets and traditional

equipment and our parts and service business in North America, partially offset bya decline in digital imaging in

North America.

We estimate that sales of PPE products were approximately $72 million and $83 million for the three months ended

September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, representing an estimated decrease of $11 million, or

13.0% versus the prior year, with the $11 million net decrease year-over-year representing 0.6% of dental net sales

for the three months ended September 28, 2024.The decrease in sales of PPE products was primarily due to lower

glove prices.The estimated decrease in internally generated local currencysales, excluding PPE products,was

1.0%.

Medical

Medical net sales for the three months ended September 28, 2024increased 2.9%.The components of our sales

growth are presented in the table above.

The increase in local currency sales was attributable to our expansionin the Home Solutions market,including the

acquisition of Shield Healthcare during the year ended December30, 2023, and our acquisition of TriMed, Inc.

during the second quarter of 2024, partially offset by a 4.8% decrease in internallygenerated local currency medical

sales, resulting fromthe slower than anticipated pace of recovery from the cyber incident,the conversion of

certain pharmaceutical productsto lower priced generics,and lower sales of influenza vaccines,PPE products and

COVID-19 test kits.

We estimate that sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits were approximately $85 million and $92 million

for the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023,respectively, representing an estimated

decrease of $7 million, or 7.5%versus the prior year, with the $7 million net decrease year-over-year representing

0.6% of medical net sales for the three months ended September 28, 2024.The decrease in sales of these products

was primarily due to lower market prices of PPE products (primarily lowerglove pricing).The estimated decrease

in internally generated local currency sales, excluding PPEproducts and COVID-19 test kits,was 4.6%.

Technology and value-added services

Technology and value-added services net sales for the three months ended September 28, 2024 increased 5.1%.

The components of our sales growth are presented in the table above.The internally generated local currency

increase in technology and value-added services sales was primarily attributableto entities acquired during the

twelve months ended September 28, 2024,a continued increase in the number of cloud-based users of our practice

management software and an increase in revenue cycle management solutions.

As a result of different practices of categorizing costs associated with distribution networksthroughout 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 servicessegment 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 product development.

Within our health care distribution segment, gross profit margins may vary between the periods as a result ofthe

changes in the mix of products sold as well as changes in our customermix.For example, sales of our corporate

brand and certain specialty products achieve gross profit margins that are higher thanaverage 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 for the three months ended September28, 2024 was relatively flat compared to

the prior-year-period.

Technology and value-added services gross profit increased as a result of gross profit from acquisitions, partially

offset by lower internally generated sales.

costs in both of our reportable segments, as well as increased acquisitionintangible amortization in our healthcare

distribution segment, partially offset by a gain of $19 million related to the remeasurementto fair value of a

previously held equity investment within our healthcare distribution segment.

47

During the three months ended September 28, 2024,we also incurred $1 million of expenses, within our health care

distribution segment, directly related to the cyber incident,mostly consisting of professional fees.During the three

months ended September 28, 2024, we received insurance proceeds of$10 million, recorded as a reduction of

selling, general and administrative expenses, representing a partialinsurance recovery of losses related to the cyber

incident.

Interest expense increased primarily due to increased borrowings and increasedinterest rates.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 24.7% for the three months ended September 28, 2024, comparedto 21.9% for the prior

year period.The difference between our effective and federal statutory tax ratesprimarily relates to state and

foreign income taxes and interest expense.

The Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) issuedtechnical and administrative

guidance on Pillar Two 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 rules.As of September 28, 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.

Future tax reform resulting from these developments may result in changesto long-standing tax principles, which

may adversely impact our effective tax rate going forward or result in higher cashtax liabilities.

Global Sales

Global net sales for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 increased 1.7%.The components of our sales

growth are presented in the table above.

The 2.3% decrease in our internally generated local currency sales was primarilyattributable to the slower than

anticipated pace of recovery from the cyber incident, the challenging economicenvironment in certain markets and

lower sales of PPE products.For the nine months ended September 28, 2024, the estimated decreasein internally

generated local currency sales, excluding PPE products and COVID-19test kits, was 1.7%.

We estimate that sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits were approximately $478 million and $540 million

for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023,respectively, representing an estimated

decrease of $62 million, or 11.3%versus the prior year, with the $62 million net decrease year-over-year

representing 0.6% of global net sales for the nine months ended September28, 2024.

49

Dental

Dental net sales for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 decreased0.8%.The components of our sales

decline are presented in the table above.

The decrease in local currency sales was attributable to a decreasein internally generated local currency sales for

dental merchandise of 2.2%,partially offset by sales growth in internally generated local currency sales for dental

equipment and dental specialty products.The decrease in internally generated local currency sales of dental

merchandise was primarily attributable to the slower than anticipated paceof recovery from the cyber incident, the

challenging economic environment in certain markets, and lower salesof PPE products.Our sales growth in

internally generated local currency sales for dental equipment was primarilydue to growth in North America for

traditional equipment and our parts and service business, partially offset by lower North Americandigital

equipment sales and declines in certain international markets, and somesales shifting into the first quarter of 2024

due to the delay of equipment installations during the fourth quarter of 2023resulting from the impact of the cyber

incident.

We estimate that sales of PPE products were approximately $228 million and $264 million for the nine months

ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, representing an estimated decrease of $36

million, or 13.4%versus the prior year, with the $36 million net decrease year-over-year representing 0.6%of

dental net sales for the nine months ended September 28, 2024.The decrease in sales of PPE products was

primarily due to lower glove prices and reduced demand following thecyber incident.The estimated decrease in

internally generated local currency sales, excluding PPE products,was 1.6%.

Medical

Medical net sales for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 increased5.0%.The components of our sales

growth are presented in the table above.

The increase in local currency sales was attributable to our expansionin the Home Solutions market,including the

acquisition of Shield Healthcare during the year ended December 30, 2023,offset by a decrease of 3.3% in

internally generated local currency medical sales, resulting from the slowerthan anticipated pace of recovery from

the cyber incident, the conversion of certain pharmaceutical products to lowerpriced generics, and lower sales of

PPE products and influenza vaccines,partially offset by strong sales of point-of-care diagnostics including multi-

assay flu/COVID combination test kits.

We estimate that sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits were approximately $250 million and $276 million

for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023,respectively, representing an estimated

decrease of $26 million, or 9.4% versus the prior year, with the $26 million net decrease year-over-year

representing 0.8% of medical net sales for the nine months ended September28, 2024.The decrease in sales of

these products was primarily due to lower market prices of PPE products (primarilylower glove pricing).The

estimated decrease in internally generated local currency sales, excludingPPE products and COVID-19 test kits,

was 2.6%.

Technology and value-added services

Technology and value-added services net sales for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 increased 9.7%.The

components of our sales growth are presented in the table above.The internally generated local currency increase

of 1.9% in technology and value-added services sales was primarilyattributable to a continued increase in the

number of cloud-based users of our practice management software and anincrease in revenue cycle management

solutions and our analytical products.

As a result of different practices of categorizing costs associated with distribution networksthroughout 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 servicessegment 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 product development.

Within our health care distribution segment, gross profit margins may vary between the periods as a result ofthe

changes in the mix of products sold as well as changes in our customermix.For example, sales of our corporate

brand and certain specialty products achieve gross profit margins that are higher thanaverage 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 for the nine months ended September 28, 2024increased compared to the

prior-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.

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 components of the net increase in total operating expenses are presentedin the table above.The increase in

operating costs during the nine months ended September 28, 2024includes increases in payroll and payroll related

costs, travel, convention expenses and litigation settlement costs in bothof our reportable segments, as well as

increased acquisition intangible amortization in our healthcare distributionsegment, partially offset by a gain of

$19 million related to the remeasurement to fair value of a previously heldequity investment within our healthcare

51

distribution segment.The impact from this remeasurement gain was similar to that of aremeasurement gain related

to another buy-up of a business within our healthcare distribution segmentduring the nine months ended September

30, 2023.

We

also recorded an increase of $38 million in accrued contingent considerationrelated to a 2023 acquisition in our

technology and value-added services segment.During the nine months ended September 28, 2024, we also

incurred $12 million of expenses, within our health care distribution segment,directly related to the cyber incident,

mostly consisting of professional fees.During the nine months ended September 28, 2024, we receivedinsurance

proceeds of $20 million, recorded as a reduction of selling, generaland administrative expenses, representing a

partial insurance recovery of losses related to the cyber incident.

Interest income increased primarily due to increased interest rates.Interest expense increased primarily due to

increased borrowings and increased interest rates.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 25.1% for the nine months ended September 28, 2024, comparedto 22.5% for the prior

year period.The difference between our effective and federal statutory tax rates primarily relates to stateand

foreign income taxes and interest expense.

The Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) issuedtechnical and administrative

guidance on Pillar Two 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 rules.As of September 28, 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.

Future tax reform resulting from these developments may result in changesto long-standing tax principles, which

may adversely impact our effective tax rate going forward or result in higher cashtax liabilities.

52

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal capital requirements have included funding of acquisitions, purchasesof 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 receivablesand payables.Historically, sales have

tended to be stronger during the second half of the year and special inventoryforward buy-in opportunities have

been most prevalent just before the end of the year, and have caused our working capital requirementsto be higher

from the end of the third quarter to the end of the first quarter ofthe 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 customersfor our products and services, and access to

products and services from our suppliers.

Our business requires a substantial investment in working capital, whichis 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, maychange.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 withsufficient liquidity to meet our currently

foreseeable short-term and long-term capital needs.

Our acquisition strategy is focused on investments in companies thatadd 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 $644 million for thenine months ended September 28, 2024,

compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $532 million forthe prior year.The net change of $112

million was primarily attributable to changes in working capital accounts,primarily accounts receivable and

inventory; partially offset by lower cash net income.During the nine months ended September 28, 2024, the cyber

incident had several residual impacts to the operating cash flows from ourworking capital, net of acquisitions,

including an increase in operating cash flows from accounts receivable dueto improved collection levels and

decreased cash flows from accounts payable and accrued expenses resultingfrom previously delayed payments.

Net cash used in investing activities was $372 million for the ninemonths ended September 28, 2024, compared to

net cash used in investing activities of $808 million for the prior year.The net change of $436 million was

primarily attributable to decreased payments for equity investmentsand business acquisitions.

Net cash used in financing activities was $306 million for the ninemonths ended September 28, 2024, compared to

net cash provided by financing activities of $307 million for theprior year.The net change of $613 million was

primarily due to decreased net borrowings from debt to finance our investmentsand increased acquisitions of

noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and increased repurchases of commonstock.

Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances and investmentsin money market funds representing

overnight investments with a high degree of liquidity.

Accounts receivable days sales outstanding and inventory turns

Our accounts receivable days sales outstanding from operationsincreased to 48.6 days as of September 28, 2024

from 43.7 days as of September 30, 2023, which was primarily attributableto the impact of the cyber incident.

During the nine months ended September 28, 2024, we wrote off approximately $7million of fully reserved

accounts receivable against our trade receivable reserve.Our inventory turns from operations increased to 5.0 as of

September 28, 2024 from 4.5 as of September 30, 2023.Our working capital accounts may be impacted by current

and future economic conditions.

Leases

We

have operating and finance leases for corporate offices, office space, distribution and other facilities,vehicles

and certain equipment.Our leases have remaining terms of approximately one yearto approximately 17 years,

some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to 15 years.As of September 28, 2024, our right-of-

use assets related to operating leases were $304 million and our current and non-currentoperating lease liabilities

were $77 million and $262 million, respectively.

Stock Repurchases

On July 31, 2024 our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of upto an additional $500 million in shares of

our common stock.

From March 3, 2003 through September 28, 2024, we repurchased $5.1billion, or 94,763,315 shares, under our

common stock repurchase programs, with $455 million availableas of September 28, 2024 for future common

stock share repurchases.Subject to market conditions and other factors, we plan to continueto accelerate our share

repurchase activity in light of our favorable cash position.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Some minority stockholders in certain of our subsidiaries have the right,at certain times, to require us to acquire

their ownership interest in those entities at fair value.Accounting Standards Codification Topic 480-10 is

applicable for noncontrolling interests where we are or may be requiredto purchase all or a portion of the

outstanding interest in a consolidated subsidiary from the noncontrollinginterest holder under the terms of a put

option contained in contractual agreements.As of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, our balancefor

54

redeemable noncontrolling interests was $832 million and $864 million,respectively.Please see

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, includingour 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 reportas such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)

and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, asamended (the “Exchange Act”).Based

on this evaluation, our management, including our principal executiveofficer and principal financial officer,

concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 28,2024, to ensure that all

material information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we fileor submit under the Exchange Act is

accumulated and communicated to them as appropriate to allow timelydecisions regarding required disclosure and

that all such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reportedwithin the time periods specified in the

SEC’s rules and forms, and the rules of the Nasdaq stock exchange.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The combination of acquisitions,including the acquisition of TriMed Inc. (“TriMed”), continued acquisition

integrations and systems implementation activity undertaken duringthe quarter and carried over from prior quarters

when considered in the aggregate, represents a material change in our internalcontrol over financial reporting. As

previously reported, the full integration of TriMed will extend beyond year-end and, therefore, we anticipate

excluding TriMed from our annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December28, 2024,

as permitted by related SEC staff interpretive guidance for newly acquired businesses.

During the quarter ended September 28, 2024, we completed the acquisitionof a dental distribution business and

acquired a controlling interest of a dental affiliate in Europe.Also, post-acquisition integration related activities

continued for our dental and medical 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.

Also, during the quarter ended September 28, 2024, we completed thesystems implementation activities for

implementing a new e-commerce system for certain dental distributionbusinesses in the UK and Ireland.

Additionally, we completed the systems implementation activities related to the integration of a previously acquired

Australian medical distribution business into our existing AustralianERP system.Finally, we continued systems

implementation activities for two of our dental distribution businesses in Franceand Brazil.

All acquisitions, continued acquisition integrations and systems implementationactivities involve necessary and

appropriate change-management controls that are considered in our quarterlyassessment of the design and

operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

The deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting identifiedas of December 30, 2023 at the application

control level related to logical and user access management and segregationof duties have continued to be the

subject of ongoing remediation including implementation of specificaction plans and the testing/validation of

control operating effectiveness, which are expected to be substantially completed prior to year-end.

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provideonly 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 thatall control issues, if any, within a company

have been detected.

increases totaling $4.9billion, authorized by our Board of Directors, to the repurchase programprovide for a total

of $5.5 billion (including $500 million authorized on July 31, 2024) of shares ofour common stock to be
