Owens & Minor Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

RICHMOND, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE-OMI) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2022, as summarized in the table below.

“Our Patient Direct segment capped a fantastic year with another strong quarter, and I am pleased that our medical distribution division continues to perform well, retaining and winning new business. However, overall fourth-quarter results showed that we need to move quickly to offset volume decline, cost and pricing headwinds, particularly in our global products division. It is clear that our Company’s cost structure needs to be better aligned with the evolving market,” said Edward A. Pesicka, President & Chief Executive Officer of Owens & Minor.

“We have initiated a company-wide Operating Model Realignment Program with a dedicated team to accelerate profit improvement and reduce costs. We expect this program to help us quickly and sustainably drive the performance and growth of the company by delivering approximately $30 million of Adjusted Operating Income in 2023, and approximately $200 million by 2025. We believe this program will enhance our strong quality of service to our customers, increase our margins, and allow us to more rapidly reduce debt and reinvest in higher-growth and more profitable opportunities,” Pesicka added.

“Leveraging his experience driving successful large-scale, profit-improvement programs at Apria, Dan Starck will lead the company-wide Operating Model Realignment Program. And building upon his years of successful leadership of our Byram division, Perry Bernocchi will be promoted, effective March 1, 2023, to CEO of the Patient Direct segment and will drive further integration of Byram and Apria to better serve our customers and drive efficiencies,” Pesicka concluded.

Operating Model Realignment Program Includes:

  • Sourcing and demand management
  • Organizational structure redesign
  • Network rationalization and operational excellence
  • Commercial excellence and product profitability enhancement

2023 Financial Outlook

The Company’s outlook for 2023 is summarized below:

  • Revenue for 2023 to be in a range of $10.1 billion to $10.5 billion
  • Adjusted EBITDA for 2023 to be in a range of $490 million to $550 million
  • Adjusted EPS for 2023 to be in a range of $1.15 to $1.65

The Company’s outlook for 2023 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 2023 financial guidance include:

  • Adjusted operating income benefit of ~$30 million from the Operating Model Realignment Program in 2023
  • Gross margin rate of ~20.5%
  • Interest expense of $175 to $180 million
  • Adjusted effective tax rate of 26% to 27%
  • Diluted weighted average shares of ~77.5 million
  • Capital expenditures of $190 to $210 million
  • Stable to improving commodity prices
  • FX rates as of 12/31/2022

Although the Company does provide 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 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 EBITDA guidance or adjusted EPS guidance is provided. 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”).
