FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


             HENRY SCHEIN REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER RESULTS


       Diluted EPS from continuing operations increases 20% to $0.60
     Announces decision to divest oncology pharmaceutical and specialty
                            pharmacy businesses




MELVILLE, N.Y. - August 7, 2007 - Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSIC), the largest
provider of healthcare products and services to office-based practitioners in
the combined North American and European markets, today reported financial
results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.  The Company announced that during
the second quarter a decision was reached to divest its oncology pharmaceutical
and specialty pharmacy businesses.  Financial results for all periods reflect
those businesses as discontinued operations (see Exhibit A for details).
         Net sales for the second quarter of 2007 were $1.4 billion, an increase
of 16.3% from the second quarter of 2006.  This increase includes 13.9% local
currency growth (8.3% internally generated and 5.6% from acquisitions) and 2.4%
related to foreign currency exchange.  (See Exhibit B for details of sales
growth.)
         Net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $33.8 million or $0.37
per diluted share.  Results include a loss from discontinued operations of $20.6
million or $0.23 per diluted share related to the anticipated sale of the lower-
margin oncology pharmaceutical and specialty pharmacy businesses.
         Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2007 was
$54.4 million or $0.60 per diluted share.  Second quarter 2007 income and
diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were up 21.0% and 20.0%,
respectively, compared with the prior-year second quarter.
         "Our second quarter financial results were very strong, once again
highlighted by double-digit sales growth and market-share gains in each of our
four business groups," said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Henry Schein.
         For the second quarter, Dental sales increased 17.5%, including 17.2%
growth in local currencies (10.5% internally generated and 6.7% from
acquisitions) and 0.3% growth related to

foreign currency exchange.  Of the 17.2% local currency growth, Dental
consumable merchandise sales increased 14.7% (6.8% internal growth and 7.9%
acquisition growth) and Dental equipment sales and service revenues were up
25.1% (22.3% internal growth and 2.8% acquisition growth).
         "We are very pleased with our Dental Group's financial performance,
highlighted by mid-teens consumable merchandise sales growth and excellent
equipment sales and service growth, reflecting market share gains in basic
equipment and high-tech products," commented Mr. Bergman.  "Subsequent to the
close of the quarter we solidified our North American Dental industry leadership
by acquiring the full-service and special-markets business of Becker-Parkin
Dental Supply, increasing penetration for our U.S. Dental Business in key
geographies, including New York, Florida and Arizona."
         Medical Group sales increased 11.7% during the second quarter (7.7%
internal growth and 4.0% acquisition growth).  "During the quarter we made the
decision to divest our lower-margin oncology pharmaceutical and specialty
pharmacy distribution businesses.  Combined, these two businesses represented a
significant portion of our lower-margin pharmaceutical revenue.  Disposing of
these non-core businesses will enhance our Medical Group's ability to drive
profitable revenue growth," said Mr. Bergman.  "Separately, we are making
excellent progress with the Medical One World initiative we launched in April,
and are pleased with the initial results we have experienced thus far from
combining our major physician brands under the Henry Schein Medical brand."
         For the quarter, International sales increased 17.4%, including 9.4%
growth in local currencies (4.4% internally generated and 5.0% from
acquisitions), and 8.0% related to foreign currency exchange.  "We are pleased
with the accelerated internal sales growth in local currencies exhibited by our
International business," commented Mr. Bergman.
         Technology and Value-Added Services sales increased 36.5% during the
second quarter of 2007, including 36.4% growth in local currencies (25.5%
internally generated and 10.9% acquisition growth) and 0.1% growth related to
foreign currency exchange.  "Technology and Value-Added Services sales growth
reflects particular strength in electronic services, software and financial
services revenues," stated Mr. Bergman.

Year-to-Date Results
         For the first six months of 2007, net sales of $2.7 billion represents
an increase of 15.9% compared with the first six months of 2006.  This increase
includes 13.5% local currency growth (6.6% internally generated and 6.9% from
acquisitions net of divestiture) and 2.4% related to foreign currency exchange.
Income from continuing operations for the first six months of 2007 was $97.9
million reflecting 21.6% growth compared with the prior year.  Earnings per
diluted
