Expects to Report Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results on February 28, 2025
RICHMOND, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE: OMI) (the “Company”) today
announced selected preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024 in advance of its upcoming earnings announcement and conference call. The release of the preliminary results relates to the Company’s commencement of financing activity related to its previously announced agreement to acquire Rotech Healthcare Holdings, Inc (“Rotech”).
“We are commencing a process to raise additional debt while the capital markets are attractive, to finance our previously announced agreement to acquire Rotech which we continue to expect will close in the first half of 2025. Our healthy free cash flow provides the vehicle for this proposed financing as well as helping us achieve our deleveraging goals over the next few years. Having this additional facility at attractive interest rates gives us the ability to remain nimble in a dynamic market,” said Edward A. Pesicka, President & Chief Executive Officer of Owens & Minor.
Pesicka added, “Our healthy top-line performance in 2024 is representative of the demand for our products and services across both segments of our business. We are particularly excited about the full-year performance of our Patient Direct segment which posted solid mid-single digit growth, and even higher in key categories. In addition, we are pleased that in a year of meaningful reinvestment in the business we were able to reduce total debt by over $240 million.”

Reconciliations of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures in this release and their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables below. |
Non-Cash Goodwill Impairment
The Company expects to record a non-cash goodwill impairment charge within its Apria division of approximately $310 million, or approximately ($4.00) net loss per share. The impairment charge relates to a combination of factors occurring in the fourth quarter 2024. The majority of these factors are related to financial market changes inclusive of a decline in Owens & Minor’s stock price and rising interest rates. Additionally, anticipated changes in pricing of a capitated contract also contributed to this charge.
Note: Preliminary results and the amount of the non-cash goodwill impairment remain subject to final management review and audit.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This preliminary earnings 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.
