Henry Schein Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Financial Results and Introduces 2023 Financial Guidance

Rhea-AI Summary

Henry Schein reported fourth-quarter 2022 net sales of $3.4 billion, reflecting a 1.2% increase versus Q4 2021. GAAP diluted EPS fell to $0.34 compared to $1.05 in the prior year, while non-GAAP diluted EPS rose to $1.21 from $1.07. Notably, internal sales grew 5.0% when excluding the impact of PPE and COVID-19 products. Guidance for 2023 non-GAAP EPS is set at $5.25 to $5.42, forecasting a -2% to +1% growth from 2022 non-GAAP EPS. The company also anticipates a 30% to 35% decline in PPE and COVID-19 product sales compared to 2022.

Positive

• Non-GAAP diluted EPS for Q4 2022 increased to $1.21 from $1.07 in Q4 2021.
• Introduced guidance for 2023 non-GAAP diluted EPS of $5.25 to $5.42, indicating potential for earnings growth.
• Achieved 5.0% internal sales growth in local currencies excluding PPE and COVID-19 sales.

Negative

• GAAP diluted EPS decreased to $0.34 from $1.05 year-over-year.
• Sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits fell by $194 million compared to the previous year.
• Overall sales growth was hindered by a 3.0% decrease due to foreign currency exchange.

• Fourth-quarter net sales of $3.4 billion increased 1.2% compared with the fourth quarter of 2021; internal sales increased 5.0% in local currencies when excluding sales of personal protective equipment (PPE) products and COVID-19 test kits and the extra sales week in 2022
• Fourth-quarter GAAP diluted EPS of $0.34 compared with fourth-quarter 2021 GAAP diluted EPS of $1.05
• Fourth-quarter non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.21 compared with fourth-quarter 2021 non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.07
• Introduces guidance for 2023 non-GAAP diluted EPS of $5.25 to $5.42 excluding amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, reflecting high single-digit to low double-digit growth in non-GAAP operating income over 2022 when excluding the contribution from PPE products and COVID-19 test kits

MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC), the world’s largest provider of health care solutions to office-based dental and medical practitioners, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022.

“We closed out 2022 with a very good fourth quarter in which we continued to execute effectively on our 2022 to 2024 Strategic Plan goals, achieving strong growth in earnings for the fourth quarter and the full year, despite macroeconomic and foreign exchange headwinds. We overcame significant headwinds from lower sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits,” said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein. “Looking ahead, we are introducing financial guidance for 2023 where we expect operating income growth in the high single-digit to low double-digit percentage range when excluding the contribution from PPE products and COVID-19 test kits. The impact of lower selling prices of PPE products and reduced demand for COVID-19 test kits will be largely offset by earnings momentum in our underlying core businesses, and the good momentum we have as we enter 2023 gives us confidence in this full-year 2023 guidance.

“Fundamentals in our dental end market remain solid. In the fourth quarter, we believe global dental consumable merchandise growth was impacted by a high incidence of flu and COVID-19 cases, which caused increased rates of patient appointment cancellations and furthered staffing shortages. However, patient flows appear to have returned to more normal levels in January. Demand for dental equipment in North America remains healthy, and our North America equipment order book is stable. Although we saw very good sales for traditional equipment and steady sales for digital imaging equipment, there was a decline in sales of digital restoration equipment compared to the corresponding prior year fourth quarter, resulting from customer demand shifting from chairside mills to 3D printing, a mix shift to lower priced intra-oral scanners, and supply chain issues of an important intra-oral scanner supplier. Demand for equipment internationally held up quite well with sales moving to lower priced intra-oral scanner units, and overall equipment sales essentially in-line with last year.

“Sales growth in our Medical business continued to be excellent, reflecting higher patient traffic to alternate care sites, partially driven by a high incidence of seasonal flu and COVID-19, which drove increased sales of point-of-care diagnostic and other products. When excluding sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits, we experienced double-digit sales growth in local currencies. We are pleased with the continued growth in new accounts across independent and large group practices, as well as ambulatory surgical centers and urgent care facilities.

“Growth in our Technology and Value-added Services business was strongest in our international business due to the strength of our Dentally cloud-based solution. Growth in North America was driven by sales of practice management software, and we are encouraged to see many customers upgrading to Dentrix and Dentrix Ascend as the product lifecycle of our Easy Dental product ends,” concluded Mr. Bergman.

Fourth-Quarter Financial Results

• Total net sales¹ for the quarter were $3.4 billion, an increase of 1.2% compared with the fourth quarter of 2021. The 1.2% increase included a 1.8% decrease in local currencies excluding acquisitions, 1.1% growth from acquisitions and a 3.0% decrease related to foreign currency exchange, while the extra week of sales contributed 4.9% to sales growth. Sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits in the fourth quarter were $254 million, which is $194 million lower than the prior-year period. Excluding sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits, fourth-quarter internal sales growth in local currencies was 5.0%.
• GAAP net income for the quarter was $46.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared with fourth-quarter 2021 GAAP net income of $147.2 million, or $1.05 per diluted share.
• Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $164.7 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, compared with fourth-quarter 2021 non-GAAP net income of $150.6 million, or $1.07 per diluted share². Fourth quarter 2022 non-GAAP net income excludes:
  • Integration and restructuring expenses of $121 million pre-tax, or $0.70 per diluted share. These expenses mainly relate to vacating one of the buildings at the Company’s Melville headquarters and the impairment of intangible assets associated with the disposal of an unprofitable business. The Company also incurred restructuring expenses associated with severance and costs relating to the exit of some other facilities.
  • Impairment expense of intangible assets of $34 million pre-tax, or $0.17 per diluted share, related to certain continuing operations.
• Foreign currency exchange negatively impacted fourth quarter non-GAAP diluted EPS by approximately 4 cents versus the fourth quarter last year.
• Global Dental sales¹ were $2.0 billion for the quarter, a decrease of 0.7% compared with the prior-year period. Internally generated sales decreased 2.6% in local currencies and acquisitions contributed 1.8% growth. This growth was offset by a 4.6% decrease related to foreign currency exchange, while the extra week of sales contributed 4.7% to sales growth. The 2.6% decrease in sales in local currencies reflects a 3.4% decrease in North America and a 1.4% decrease internationally.
  • Global Dental consumable merchandise internal sales¹ decreased by 3.7% in local currencies. Excluding sales of PPE products, internal sales growth was 1.0% in local currencies, and this was consistent across North American and internationally.
  • Global Dental equipment internal sales growth¹ was 0.7% in local currencies.
• Global Medical sales¹ were $1.2 billion for the quarter, an increase of 4.1% compared with the prior-year period. Internally generated sales decreased 1.3% in local currencies. Foreign currency exchange resulted in a decrease of 0.2%, while the extra week of sales contributed 5.6% to growth. Internal sales increased 14.3% in local currencies when excluding sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits.
• Global Technology and Value-Added Services sales¹ were $187 million for the quarter, an increase of 4.6% compared with the prior-year period, driven by strength from Henry Schein One. This included 3.4% internal sales growth in local currencies and 0.4% growth from acquisitions, offset by a 1.9% decline related to foreign currency exchange, while the extra week of sales contributed 2.7% to growth.

2022 Financial Results

• Total net sales¹ for 2022 were $12.6 billion, an increase of 2.0% compared with 2021. The 2.0% increase included 1.3% internal growth in local currencies, 1.8% growth from acquisitions and a 2.4% decrease related to foreign currency exchange, while the extra week of sales contributed 1.3%. Sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits for 2022 were $1,245 million, which is $538 million lower than in the prior-year period. Excluding sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits, internal sales growth for 2022 in local currencies was 6.7%.
• GAAP net income for 2022 was $537.9 million, or $3.91 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income for 2021 of $631.2 million, or $4.45 per diluted share.
• Non-GAAP net income for 2022 was $663.2 million, or $4.81 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income for 2021 of $639.9 million, or $4.51 per diluted share². 2022 non-GAAP net income excludes:
  • Integration and restructuring expenses of $130.5 million pre-tax, or $0.74 per diluted share.
  • Impairment expense of intangible assets of $34.0 million pre-tax, or $0.16 per diluted share.
• Foreign currency exchange negatively impacted 2022 non-GAAP diluted EPS by approximately 10 cents versus 2021.

¹ See Exhibit A for details of sales growth. All local internal sales growth figures exclude the extra sales week in 2022.
² See Exhibit B for a reconciliation of GAAP net income and diluted EPS to non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS.

Stock Repurchase Plan

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 3.6 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $79.55 per share, for a total of $285 million. The impact of the share repurchases on fourth-quarter diluted EPS was immaterial. At quarter-end, Henry Schein had approximately $115 million authorized and available for future stock repurchases. An additional $400 million was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 8, 2023.

2023 Financial Guidance

Henry Schein today introduced guidance for 2023 non-GAAP diluted EPS. Guidance for 2023 GAAP diluted EPS is not being provided at this time, since the Company is unable to provide without unreasonable effort an estimate of integration and restructuring costs.

A key goal of the Company’s 2022 to 2024 Strategic Plan is to invest in higher growth businesses that have a larger intangible asset component. Therefore, management believes earnings excluding amortization expense of acquired intangible assets better represent the underlying business results, and so 2023 non-GAAP guidance excludes the effects of amortization expense of acquired intangible assets and integration and restructuring expenses. Guidance for 2023 is for completed acquisitions and does not include potential future acquisitions. This guidance also assumes that foreign currency exchange rates remain generally consistent with current levels, end markets remain consistent with current market conditions and that there are no material adverse market changes associated with COVID-19.

• 2023 non-GAAP diluted EPS attributable to Henry Schein, Inc. is expected to be $5.25 to $5.42, reflecting growth of -2% to +1% compared with 2022 non-GAAP diluted EPS of $5.38, which also excludes amortization expense of acquired intangible assets.
  • The impact on 2023 non-GAAP diluted EPS from lower contributions to earnings from sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits is expected to be approximately $0.35 to $0.40. This impact will be much more pronounced over the first half of 2023, and especially in the first quarter, as we had sales of almost $500 million of PPE and COVID-19 test kits combined, in the first quarter of 2022.
  • 2023 non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes amortization expense of prior acquisitions of $0.56 in 2023 and $0.57 in 2022.
  • 2023 guidance reflects high single-digit to low double-digit growth in non-GAAP operating income over 2022 when excluding the contribution from PPE products and COVID-19 test kits.
• 2023 sales growth is expected to be approximately 1% to 3% over 2022.
• 2023 sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits are expected to decrease in aggregate by approximately 30% to 35% from 2022.
• 2023 non-GAAP operating margin is expected to be 10 to 15 basis points below 2022 non-GAAP operating margin of 8.20%, largely a result of lower PPE products and COVID-19 test kit sales and profits.

As previously announced, we will hold an Investor Meeting on February 27th at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time in New York City, when we expect to provide further details on Henry Schein’s 2023 financial guidance and long-term financial goals.

Adjustments to 2023 GAAP Diluted EPS

The Company is providing guidance for 2023 diluted EPS on a non-GAAP basis, as noted above. The Company is not providing a reconciliation of its 2023 non-GAAP guidance to the Company’s projected 2023 diluted EPS prepared on a GAAP basis. This is because the Company is unable to provide without unreasonable effort an estimate of integration and restructuring costs related to an ongoing initiative to drive operating efficiencies, including the corresponding tax effect that will be included in the Company’s 2023 diluted EPS prepared on a GAAP basis. The inability to provide this reconciliation is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence, magnitude, financial impact and timing of related costs.

Management does not believe these items are representative of the Company’s underlying business performance. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Fourth-Quarter 2022 Conference Call Webcast and Presentation

The Company will hold a conference call to discuss fourth-quarter and full-year 2022 financial results today, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time. Individual investors are invited to listen to the conference call through Henry Schein’s website by visiting www.henryschein.com/IRwebcasts. In addition, a replay will be available beginning shortly after the call has ended for a period of one week.

The Company will be posting slides that provide a summary of its fourth-quarter 2022 financial results on its website at https://www.henryschein.com/us-en/Corporate/investor-presentations.aspx

These non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely for informational and comparative purposes and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures.
