Owens & Minor reports Q3 adjusted EPS 44c vs. 41c last year

Reports Q3 revenue $2.59B vs. $2.5B last year. “Our performance in the third quarter is another strong indication that our business strategy and execution are working, and that we are beginning to realize the benefits of the Operating Model Realignment Program. Patient Direct continues to outperform the market, demonstrating the enduring strength of our go-to-market strategies and service offerings. Our Medical Distribution division again produced mid-single digit growth and continues to win new business. While the volatility of demand and pricing for PPE appears to be diminishing, we remain cautious on the long-term trajectory. The Operating Model Realignment Program not only continued to deliver economic benefits, but also enabled us to reassess how we do business every day. We are well on our way to achieving the objectives established when we launched this initiative in the first quarter,” said Edward Pesicka, President & CEO of Owens & Minor. Pesicka continued, “Building on the progress we made in the first half of the year, the work we’ve done in the third quarter resulted in significant cash flow, enabling us to further reduce debt and increase our financial flexibility. We continue to align our balance sheet with our corporate strategy to support further investment in high growth categories and technology.”
