Insights

Financial Analyst

The preliminary financial results announced by Owens & Minor for Q2 2024 show a mixed picture. Revenue in the range of $2.651 billion to $2.671 billion indicates stable sales performance, but a GAAP net loss of $(35) million to $(32) million reflects underlying challenges. The adjusted figures, such as an adjusted net income of $25 million to $28 million and an adjusted EBITDA of $123 million to $127 million, provide a more optimistic view, suggesting operational efficiency improvements. The one-time tax charge of $17 million related to past transfer pricing methodology indicates a resolved issue but does weigh on this quarter's results. For investors, the reaffirmation of the full-year 2024 guidance is a positive sign, maintaining a revenue outlook of $10.5 billion to $10.9 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.40 to $1.70. However, the net debt reduction of $68 million to $71 million shows a cautious approach towards financial health. Short-term, the stock might face some volatility due to the mixed results, but the long-term reaffirmation of guidance could stabilize investor sentiment.

Market Research Analyst

From a market perspective, Owens & Minor's ability to reaffirm its 2024 annual guidance amidst economic uncertainty is noteworthy. The company highlights assumptions such as stable commodity prices and FX rates as of 12/31/2023, which indicates confidence in managing external pressures. The gross margin rate projection of 21.0% to 21.5% and interest expense of $141 million to $146 million are critical factors that will impact profitability. Furthermore, capital expenditures of $220 million to $240 million suggest ongoing investments in growth and operational improvements. Investors should monitor the company's ability to meet these assumptions, especially given the current inflationary environment and pricing pressures. The company's proactive stance in communicating these metrics ahead of the full earnings release could foster trust and transparency with stakeholders.

Legal Expert

The one-time income tax charge of $17 million related to past transfer pricing methodology reflects a significant legal and regulatory resolution for Owens & Minor. This charge, stemming from Notices of Proposed Adjustments received in 2020 and 2021, shows that the company has addressed historical compliance issues. The expected cash payment of $30 million to $35 million in the second half of the year will impact cash flow but should not have further financial repercussions. For investors, this resolution removes a layer of uncertainty regarding potential additional liabilities or legal challenges. It is also an indicator of robust internal controls and governance practices, which can positively influence investor confidence in the company's regulatory and legal management.

Tax Matter

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a one-time income tax charge of $17 million (or $0.22 per share) related to a recent decision associated with Notices of Proposed Adjustments received in 2020 and 2021 which was communicated in the last week of June 2024. Due to the nature of this charge, this item is included in our GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations. The matter at hand, as discussed in previously filed SEC documents, is related to past transfer pricing methodology. There is an expected related cash payment to be made in the second half of the year in the range of $30-$35 million. The Company believes the matter will be concluded without further impact to its financial results.

2024 Financial Outlook

The Company reaffirms its outlook for the full year 2024 on a standalone basis excluding the expected impact of the Rotech acquisition.

• Revenue for 2024 to be in a range of $10.5 billion to $10.9 billion
• Adjusted EBITDA for 2024 to be in a range of $550 million to $590 million
• Adjusted EPS for 2024 to be in a range of $1.40 to $1.70

The Company’s outlook for 2024 contains assumptions, including current expectations regarding the impact of general economic conditions, including inflation, and the continuation of pressure on pricing and demand in our Products & Healthcare Services segment. Key assumptions supporting the Company’s 2024 financial guidance include:

• Gross margin rate of 21.0% to 21.5%
• Interest expense of $141 to $146 million
• Adjusted effective tax rate of 27.5% to 28.5%
• Diluted weighted average shares of ~78.5 million
• Capital expenditures of $220 to $240 million
• Stable commodity prices
• FX rates as of 12/31/2023

Although the Company provides guidance for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS (which are non-GAAP financial measures), it is not able to forecast the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. Certain elements of the composition of GAAP amounts are not predictable, making in impracticable for the Company to forecast. Such elements include, but are not limited to, restructuring and acquisition charges, which could have a significant and unpredictable impact on our GAAP results. As a result, no GAAP guidance or reconciliation of the Company’s adjusted EBITDA guidance or adjusted EPS guidance is provided. The outlook is based on certain assumptions that are subject to risk factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

The following items have been excluded in our non-GAAP financial measures:

⁽¹⁾ Acquisition-related charges and intangible amortization includes one-time costs related to the expected acquisition of Rotech, including legal and other professional fees, and amortization of intangible assets established during acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. These amounts are highly dependent on the size and frequency of acquisitions and are being excluded to allow for a more consistent comparison with forecasted, current and historical results.

⁽²⁾ Exit and realignment charges, net primarily related to our Operating Model Realignment Program, including professional fees, severance, and other costs to streamline functions and processes and costs related to IT strategic initiatives such as converting certain divisions to common IT systems. These costs are not normal recurring, cash operating expenses necessary for the Company to operate its business on an ongoing basis.

⁽³⁾ Litigation and related charges includes settlement costs and related charges of legal matters within our Apria division. These costs do not occur in the ordinary course of our business and are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount.

⁽⁴⁾ These charges have been tax effected by determining the income tax rate depending on the amount of charges incurred in different tax jurisdictions and the deductibility of those charges for income tax purposes.

⁽⁵⁾ One-time income tax charge relates to a recent decision associated with Notices of Proposed Adjustments received in 2020 and 2021. The matter at hand, as discussed in previously filed SEC documents, is related to past transfer pricing methodology. We believe the matter will be concluded without further impact to our financial results.

⁽⁶⁾ Other depreciation and amortization relates to property and equipment and capitalized computer software, excluding such amounts captured within exit and realignment charges, net or acquisition-related charges.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In general, the measures exclude items and charges that (i) management does not believe reflect the Company’s core business and relate more to strategic, multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company’s performance, evaluate the balance sheet, engage in financial and operational planning and determine incentive compensation.

Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on its financial and operating results and in comparing the Company’s performance to that of its competitors. However, the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth above should be carefully evaluated.
