• Adjusted EPS jumped to $1.57 compared to $0.04 in the previous year.

Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE-OMI) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2021, as summarized in the table below.

“We're pleased to deliver another quarter of excellent growth on the top and bottom line as we continue to execute on the Owens & Minor business blueprint. Our first quarter results reflect strong operational execution across the company, powered by continued strength in global products and favorable market dynamics including an uptick in elective procedures in March,” said Edward A. Pesicka, President & Chief Executive Officer of Owens & Minor. “We also recapitalized our debt structure, thereby improving our strategic and operational flexibility.”

Pesicka added, “We have raised our full-year guidance range for adjusted net income to $3.75 to $4.25 per share. The increased guidance is in light of the strong first quarter performance, our favorable outlook around elective procedures, and improved line of sight toward PPE demand into the third quarter.”

1^st Quarter 2021 Highlights

• Significant increase in year-over-year first quarter earnings was driven by sales growth, market dynamics, product mix, and operating efficiencies
  • 638 basis point gross margin expansion
  • $135 million increase in adjusted operating income
  • $9.7 million or 41% decrease in interest expense
  • Almost 40x increase in adjusted net income per share

• Revenue growth when compared to prior year was driven by increased demand for PPE, cost pass-through in gloves, along with strong performance in our Byram Patient Direct business, which was partially offset by fewer elective procedures and one less selling day

• Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
  • Successfully issued $500 million senior unsecured notes due in 2029, extending debt maturities and improving liquidity. Proceeds of the issue were used to retire higher-cost and shorter-dated debt.
  • Entered into a new 5-year, $300 million revolving credit facility, and a newly amended three-year $450 million accounts receivable securitization facility
  • Generated $25 million of operating cash flow in the first quarter, as a result of increased earnings, partially offset by working capital investments

Financial Outlook

The Company expects adjusted net income for 2021 to be in a range of $3.75 to $4.25 per share and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $450 million to $500 million, based on the key assumptions below:

• Continued favorable outlook around elective procedures for the remainder of the year
• Improved line of sight for PPE sales into the third quarter
• Reduction in interest expense as a result of recapitalized debt structure with lower base rates

Although the Company does provide guidance for adjusted net income per share and Adjusted EBITDA (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 the GAAP amounts are not predictable, making it impracticable for the Company to forecast. Such elements include, but are not limited to restructuring and acquisition charges. As a result, no GAAP guidance or reconciliation of the Company’s adjusted net income per share guidance or Adjusted EBITDA guidance is provided. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially significant impact on its future GAAP financial results. The outlook is based on certain assumptions that are subject to the risk factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
