Owens & Minor 2nd Quarter 2009 Revenue Tops $2 Billion with
Strong Operating Earnings & Cash Flow
Owens & Minor completes transition of acquired business during the quarter
RICHMOND, VA….Owens & Minor (NYSE-OMI) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, including record quarterly revenue of $2.01 billion, improved 13.7% when compared to revenue of $1.77 billion in the second quarter of 2008. Income from continuing operations for the quarter was $27.8 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, increased 13.6% when compared to income from continuing operations of $24.5 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the comparable period of 2008. Net income for the second quarter was $23.6 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, unchanged from last year’s second quarter.
Results for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 reflect the impact of transitioning the business acquired from The Burrows Company, as well as the January 2009 sale of certain assets of its direct-to-consumer diabetes supply (DTC) business, which is shown as discontinued operations for all periods presented. For the second quarter, the company recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $4.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, resulting primarily from pre-tax charges associated with exiting this business.
“Despite a tough economic climate this year, we have grown our business, improved operating profitability, and generated great cash flow,” said Craig R. Smith, president & chief executive officer of Owens & Minor. “We are very pleased that our team turned in a very strong second quarter performance, even while transitioning the Burrows business and pursuing our strategic initiatives. With the completion of the Burrows transition, we are intent on improving margins as we focus these new customers on the advantages of our valued-added programs and services.”

In the second quarter of 2009, the company reported gross margin of $197.7 million, or 9.82% of revenues, compared to $175.3 million, or 9.90% of revenues, in the second quarter last year. The increase in gross margin resulted from strong quarterly revenue growth and recognition of revenue related to customer contracts with performance targets. In the second quarter, after achieving contractual performance targets, the company recognized $2.7 million of previously deferred revenue, net of revenues deferred during the second quarter.
Year-to-Date Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, revenue was $3.96 billion, improved 13.3% from revenue of $3.50 billion in the same period last year. Income from continuing operations for the year-to-date was $50.1 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, increased 3.4% when compared to income from continuing operations of $48.5 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, in the comparable period of 2008. For the first six months of 2009, the company recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $12.5 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, resulting primarily from pre-tax charges associated with exiting the DTC business. As a result, net income for the first half of 2009 was $37.6 million, decreased 21.4% when compared to net income of $47.8 million in the same period last year, while net income per diluted share for the first six months of 2009 was $0.90, decreased 21.7% when compared to $1.15 per diluted share for the same period last year.
Asset Management
For the first six months of the year, operating cash flow from continuing operations was $123 million, compared to the prior year’s $76 million. Cash provided by discontinued operations was $75 million, including $63 million received from the sale of certain assets of the DTC business to Liberty Healthcare Group, Inc., a subsidiary of Medco Health Solutions, Inc. The company used cash to reduce long-term debt by $151 million to $208 million as of June 30, 2009. Days sales outstanding (DSO) was strong at 22.6 days compared to 23.2 at the end of the prior year’s quarter; inventory turns were 10.1 compared to turns of 10.4 in the second quarter last year.
2009 Outlook
“Our year-to-date results are consistent with where we thought we would be at this point in the year, and we are comfortable with our guidance for 2009, which remains unchanged,” said Smith. “When looking at the full year 2009, we are targeting revenue growth for the year in the upper end of a range of 8% to 12%, and income per diluted share from continuing operations in the upper end of a range of $2.55 to $2.70.”
The 2009 outlook is based on certain assumptions that are subject to the risk factors discussed in the company’s filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission.
