NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, except share and per share data)
 
(unaudited
)
8
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Henry
 
Schein, Inc. and all of our
controlled subsidiaries.
 
All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated
 
in consolidation.
 
Investments
in unconsolidated affiliates in which we have the ability to influence the operating
 
or financial decisions are
accounted for under the equity method.
 
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
 
to the
current period presentation.
Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
 
have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
 
(“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
 
Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial
 
statements.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be
 
read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial
 
statements contained in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2021 and with the information
 
contained in our other publicly-
available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
 
consolidated results of operations and
financial position for the interim periods presented.
 
All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
 
generally accepted in the United
States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
 
assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
 
and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
The results of
operations for the three months ended March 26, 2022 are not necessarily
 
indicative of the results to be expected
for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2022.
We consolidate the results of operations and financial position of a trade accounts receivable securitization which
we consider a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) because we are the primary beneficiary, and we have the power to
direct activities that most significantly affect the economic performance and have
 
the obligation to absorb the
majority of the losses or benefits.
 
For this VIE, the trade accounts receivable transferred to the VIE are
 
pledged as
collateral to the related debt.
 
The creditors have recourse to us for losses on these trade accounts
 
receivable.
 
At
March 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021, certain trade accounts receivable
 
that can only be used to settle
obligations of this VIE were $
77
 
million and $
138
 
million, respectively, and the liabilities of this VIE where the
creditors have recourse to us were $
60
 
million and $
105
 
million, respectively.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions
 
made by us that affect, among
other things, our goodwill, long-lived asset and definite-lived intangible
 
asset valuation; inventory valuation; equity
investment valuation; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of deferred
 
income taxes and income
tax contingencies; the allowance for doubtful accounts; hedging activity;
 
supplier rebates; measurement of
compensation cost for certain share-based performance awards and cash bonus
 
plans; and pension plan
assumptions.
 
Due to the significant uncertainty surrounding the future impact of
 
COVID-19, our judgments
regarding estimates and impairments could change in the future and
 
may result in a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and liquidity.
 
However, the extent of the potential impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this
time.

Note 2 – Critical Accounting Policies, Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
 
and Recently Issued Accounting
Standards
Critical Accounting Policies
 
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies
 
during the three months ended March 26,
2022, as compared to the critical accounting policies described in Item
 
7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 25, 2021, except as follows:
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
On
December 26, 2021
 
we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021 – 08, “Accounting
 
for
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”
 
(Subtopic 805), as early adoption of this
ASU was permitted.
 
ASU 2021 – 08 requires an acquirer to recognize and measure
 
contract assets and contract
liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606.
 
At the acquisition date, an acquirer
should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts.
 
To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied Topic 606 to determine what to record for the
acquired revenue contracts.
 
Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired
contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how
 
they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s
financial statements.
 
Our
adoption
 
of ASU 2021 - 08 did not have a material impact on our consolidated
 
financial
statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate
Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” which provides
optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts,
 
hedging relationships and other
transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or
 
by another
reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.
 
The guidance was effective beginning
March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31,
 
2022.
 
In January 2021, the FASB issued
ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”).
 
ASU 2021-01 provides temporary
optional expedients and exceptions to certain guidance in U.S. GAAP
 
to ease the financial reporting burdens related
to the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates
 
to alternative reference rates, such
as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.
 
The guidance is effective upon issuance, on January 7, 2021, and can be
applied through December 31, 2022.
 
We do not expect that the requirements of this guidance will have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value
 
Hedging –
Portfolio Layer Method,” which will expand companies' abilities
 
to hedge the benchmark interest rate risk of
portfolios of financial assets (or beneficial interests) in a fair value hedge.
 
This ASU expands the use of the
portfolio layer method (previously referred to as the last-of-layer
 
method) to allow multiple hedges of a single
closed portfolio of assets using spot starting, forward starting and amortizing-notional
 
swaps.
 
It also permits both
prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets to be included in the closed
 
portfolio of assets hedged in a portfolio
layer hedge.
 
This ASU further requires that basis adjustments not be allocated
 
to individual assets for active
portfolio layer method hedges, but rather be maintained on the closed portfolio
 
of assets as a whole.
 
ASU 2022 –

in ASU 2017-12.
 
We do not

Business Acquisitions
2022 Acquisitions
During the three months ended March 26, 2022,
 
we made an acquisition within the technology and value-added
services segment.
 
The impact of this acquisition was not considered material to our
 
condensed consolidated
financial statements.
2021 Acquisitions
We completed acquisitions during the three months ended March 27, 2021 which were immaterial to our financial
statements.
 
Our ownership interest acquired ranges between approximately
65
% to
100
%.
 
Acquisitions within our
health care distribution segment included
 
companies that specialize in distribution of dental products, a provider
 
of
home medical supplies, and product kitting and sterile packaging.
 
Within our technology and value-added services
segment, we acquired companies that focus on dental marketing and website
 
solutions, practice transition services,
and business analytics and intelligence software.
The following table aggregates the estimated fair value, as of the
 
date of acquisition, of consideration paid and net
assets acquired for acquisitions during the three months ended March 27, 2021.
 
While we use our best estimates
and assumptions to accurately value those assets acquired and liabilities
 
assumed at the acquisition date as well as
contingent consideration, where applicable, our estimates are inherently uncertain
 
and subject to refinement.
 
As a
result, during the measurement period we may record adjustments
 
to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
with the corresponding offset to goodwill within our consolidated balance sheets.

The major classes of assets and liabilities that we generally allocate purchase

identifiable intangible assets (i.e., customer relationships and lists, trademarks
 
and trade names, product
development and non-compete agreements), inventory and accounts
 
receivable, property, plant and equipment,
deferred taxes and other current and long-term assets and liabilities.
 
The estimated fair value of identifiable
intangible assets is based on critical estimates, judgments and assumptions
 
derived from analysis of market
conditions, discount rates, discounted cash flows, customer retention rates
 
and estimated useful lives.
Some prior owners of acquired subsidiaries are eligible to receive additional
 
purchase price cash consideration if
certain financial targets are met.
 
We have accrued liabilities for the estimated fair value of additional purchase
price consideration at the time of the acquisition.
 
Any adjustments to these accrual amounts are recorded in our
consolidated statements of income.
 
For the three months ended March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, there were
 
no
material adjustments recorded in our consolidated statements of income
 
relating to changes in estimated contingent
purchase price liabilities.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
 
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
 
The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between
(1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained
 
from independent sources (observable
inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best
information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the
 
highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority
 
to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
 
Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
 
or liabilities that are accessible at the
measurement date.
 
Level 2— Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
 
for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly.
 
Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities
 
in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are
 
not active; inputs other than quoted
prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are
 
derived principally from or corroborated by
observable market data by correlation or other means.
 
Level 3— Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.
The following section describes the fair values of our financial instruments
 
and the methodologies that we used to
measure their fair values.
Investments and notes receivable
There are no quoted market prices available for investments in unconsolidated
 
affiliates and notes receivable;
however, we believe the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the interest
 
rates in the
applicable markets.
Debt
The fair value of our debt (including bank credit lines) is classified as
 
Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, and
as of March 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021 was estimated at $
866
 
million and $
873
 
million, respectively.
 
Factors that we considered when estimating the fair value of our debt
 
included market conditions, such as interest
rates and credit spreads.
Derivative contracts
Derivative contracts are valued using quoted market prices and
 
significant other observable inputs.
 
We use
derivative instruments to minimize our exposure to fluctuations in foreign
 
currency exchange rates.
 
Our derivative
instruments primarily include foreign currency forward agreements related
 
to certain intercompany loans, certain
forecasted inventory purchase commitments with foreign suppliers,
 
foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a
portion of our euro-denominated foreign operations which are designated
 
as net investment hedges and a total
return swap for the purpose of economically hedging our unfunded
 
non-qualified supplemental executive retirement
plan and our deferred compensation plan.
 
The fair values for the majority of our foreign currency derivative contracts
 
are obtained by comparing our contract
rate to a published forward price of the underlying market rates, which
 
is based on market rates for comparable
transactions and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Revolving Credit Agreement
On
August 20, 2021
, we entered into a new $
1
 
billion revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”).
 
This
facility, which matures on
August 20, 2026
, replaced our $
750
 
million revolving credit facility, which was
scheduled to mature in April 2022.
 
The interest rate is based on the USD LIBOR plus a spread based on our
leverage ratio at the end of each financial reporting quarter.
 
Most LIBOR rates have been discontinued after
December 31, 2021, while the remaining LIBOR rates will be discontinued
 
immediately after June 30, 2023.
 
We
do not expect the discontinuation of LIBOR as a reference rate in our
 
debt agreements to have a material adverse
effect on our financial position or to materially affect our interest expense.
 
The Credit Agreement also requires,
among other things, that we maintain certain maximum leverage ratios.
 
Additionally, the Credit Agreement
contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative covenants as well
 
as customary negative covenants,
subject to negotiated exceptions, on liens, indebtedness, significant corporate
 
changes (including mergers),
dispositions and certain restrictive agreements.
 
As of March 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021, we had
no
borrowings under this revolving credit facility.
 
As of March 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021, there were $
9
million and $
9
 
million of letters of credit, respectively, provided to third parties under the credit facility.
Other Short-Term Bank Credit
 
Lines
As of March 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021, we had various other short-term
 
bank credit lines available, of
which $
90
 
million and $
51
 
million, respectively, were outstanding.
 
At March 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021,
borrowings under all of these credit lines had a weighted average interest
 
rate of
8.91
% and
10.44
%, respectively.

the time of issuance, from time to time
through
October 20, 2026
 
(previously
June 23, 2023
).
 
The facilities allow us to issue senior promissory notes to
the lenders at a fixed rate based on an agreed upon spread over applicable
 
treasury notes at the time of
issuance.
 
The term of each possible issuance will be selected by us and
 
can range from
five
 
to
15 years
 
(with an
average life no longer than
12 years
).
 
The proceeds of any issuances under the facilities will be used for
 
general
corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures,
 
to refinance existing indebtedness, and/or
to fund potential acquisitions.
 
The agreements provide, among other things, that we maintain
 
certain maximum
leverage ratios, and contain restrictions relating to subsidiary indebtedness,
 
liens, affiliate transactions, disposal of
assets and certain changes in ownership.
 
These facilities contain make-whole provisions in the event that we
 
pay
off the facilities prior to the applicable due dates.

U.S. Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization
We have a facility agreement based on the securitization of our U.S. trade accounts receivable that is structured as
an asset-backed securitization program with pricing committed for up
 
to
three years
.
 
Our current facility, which
had a purchase limit of $
350
 
million, was scheduled to expire on
April 29, 2022
.
 
On October 20, 2021, we
amended our U.S. trade accounts receivable securitization facility to
 
increase the purchase limit to $
450
 
million
with
two
 
banks as agents and extend the expiration date to
October 18, 2024
.
 
As of March 26, 2022 and December
25, 2021, the borrowings outstanding under this securitization facility were
 
$
60
 
million and $
105
 
million,
respectively.
 
At March 26, 2022, the interest rate on borrowings under
 
this facility was based on the asset-backed
commercial paper rate of
0.53
% plus
0.75
%, for a combined rate of
1.28
%.
 
At December 25, 2021, the interest rate
on borrowings under this facility was based on the asset-backed commercial
 
paper rate of
0.19
% plus
0.75
%, for a
combined rate of
0.94
%.
If our accounts receivable collection pattern changes due to customers
 
either paying late or not making payments,
our ability to borrow under this facility may be reduced.
We are required to pay a commitment fee of
30
 
to
35
 
basis points depending upon program utilization.
Note 8 – Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 26, 2022 our effective tax rate was

% for the prior year
period.
 
The difference between our effective tax rates and the federal statutory tax rate for
 
the three months ended
March 26, 2022 primarily relates to state and foreign income taxes and
 
interest expense as well as share-based
compensation.
 
The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the three

Note 9 – Legal Proceedings
Henry Schein has been named as a defendant in multiple lawsuits (currently
 
less than one-hundred and seventy-five
(
175
); in less than half of those cases one or more of Schein’s affiliated companies is also named as a defendant),
which
lawsuits allege that manufacturers of prescription opioid drugs engaged in a false advertising campaign to
expand the market for such drugs and their own market share and that the entities in the supply chain (including
Henry Schein, Inc.) reaped financial rewards by refusing or otherwise failing to monitor appropriately and restrict
the improper distribution of those drugs
. These actions consist of some that have been consolidated
 
within the
MultiDistrict Litigation (“MDL”) proceeding In Re National Prescription
 
Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804; Case
No. 17-md-2804) and are currently abated for discovery purposes, and others
 
which remain pending in state courts
and are proceeding independently and outside of the MDL.
 
At this time, the only cases set for trial are: the action
filed by Mobile County Board of Health, et al., in Alabama state court, which
 
is currently set for a jury trial on
January 9, 2023; and the action filed by DCH Health Care Authority, et al. in Alabama state court, which is
currently scheduled for a jury trial on March 20, 2023.
 
The court for the pending cases filed by hospitals in West
Virginia has indicated that it intends to set trials for all defendants in 2022.
 
However, as of this filing, the West
Virginia hospital cases against Henry Schein have not been set for trial.
 
Of Henry Schein’s 2021 sales of
approximately $
12.4
 
billion, sales of opioids represented less than two-tenths of
1
 
percent.
 
Opioids represent a
negligible part of our business.
 
We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against these actions.
From time to time, we may become a party to other legal proceedings,
 
including, without limitation, product
liability claims, employment matters, commercial disputes, governmental
 
inquiries and investigations (which may
in some cases involve our entering into settlement arrangements or consent
 
decrees), and other matters arising out
of the ordinary course of our business.
 
While the results of any legal proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty,
in our opinion none of these other pending matters are currently anticipated
 
to have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
As of March 26, 2022, we had accrued our best estimate of potential losses
 
relating to claims that were probable to
result in liability and for which we were able to reasonably estimate a
 
loss.
 
This accrued amount, as well as related
expenses, was not material to our financial position, results of operations
 
or cash flows.
 
Our method for
determining estimated losses considers currently available facts, presently
 
enacted laws and regulations and other
factors, including probable recoveries from third parties.

Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based awards are provided to certain employees under the terms of
 
our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan and to
non-employee directors under the terms of our 2015 Non-Employee Director
 
Stock Incentive Plan (together, the
“Plans”).
 
The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board
 
of Directors (the
“Compensation Committee”).
 
Historically, equity-based awards to our employees have been granted solely in the
form of time-based and performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
 
However, for our 2021 fiscal year, in
light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Compensation Committee determined
 
it would be difficult for management
to set a meaningful three-year cumulative earnings per share target as the goal applicable
 
to performance-based
restricted stock unit awards as it had done in prior years.
 
Instead, the Compensation Committee set our equity-
based awards to employees for fiscal 2021 in the form of time-based RSUs
 
and non-qualified stock options which
focus on stock value appreciation and retention instead of pre-established
 
performance goals.
 
Our non-employee
directors continued to receive equity-based wards for fiscal 2021 solely in
 
the form of time-based RSUs.
 
During
the three months ended March 26, 2022, the Compensation Committee
 
reinstated performance-based RSUs for
equity-based awards to employees for fiscal 2022 and awarded grants in
 
the form of time-based RSUs,
performance-based RSUs and non-qualified stock options.
 
RSUs are stock-based awards granted to recipients with specified vesting provisions.
 
In the case of RSUs, common
stock is generally delivered on or following satisfaction of vesting conditions.
 
We issue RSUs to employees that
vest (i) solely based on the recipient’s continued service over time, primarily with
four
-year cliff vesting and/or (ii)
based on achieving specified performance measurements and the recipient’s continued service over time, primarily
with
three
-year cliff vesting.
 
RSUs granted under the 2015 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive
 
Plan primarily
are granted with
12
-month cliff vesting.
 
For these RSUs, we recognize the cost as compensation expense on
 
a
straight-line basis.
With respect to time-based RSUs, we estimate the fair value on the date of grant based on our closing
 
stock price at
the time of grant.
 
With respect to performance-based RSUs, the number of shares that ultimately vest and
 
are
received by the recipient is based upon our performance as measured against
 
specified targets over a specified
period, as determined by the Compensation Committee.
 
Although there is no guarantee that performance targets
will be achieved, we estimate the fair value of performance-based RSUs
 
based on our closing stock price at time of
grant.
Each of the Plans provide for certain adjustments to awards under
 
the Plans and with respect to the performance
goals under the performance-based RSUs granted under our 2020 Stock
 
Incentive Plan, including adjustment to the
goals for significant events, including, without limitation, acquisitions,
 
divestitures, new business ventures, certain
capital transactions (including share repurchases), other differences in budgeted average
 
outstanding shares (other
than those resulting from capital transactions referred to above), restructuring
 
costs, if any, certain litigation
settlements or payments, if any, changes in accounting principles or in applicable laws or regulations, changes in
income tax rates in certain markets, foreign exchange fluctuations, and
 
unforeseen events or circumstances
affecting the Company.
 
Over the performance period, the number of shares of common stock
 
that will ultimately
vest and be issued and the related compensation expense is adjusted upward
 
or downward based upon our
estimation of achieving such performance targets.
 
The ultimate number of shares delivered to recipients
 
and the
related compensation cost recognized as an expense will be based on our
 
actual performance metrics as defined
under the Plans.
 
Stock options are awards that allow the recipient to purchase shares of our
 
common stock at a fixed price following
vesting of the stock options.
 
Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to our closing stock price
 
on the
date of grant.
 
Stock options issued beginning in 2021 vest
one-third
 
per year based on the recipient’s continued
service, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan,
 
are fully vested
three years
 
from the
grant date and have a contractual term of
ten years
 
from the grant date, subject to earlier termination of the term
upon certain events.
 
Compensation expense for these stock options is recognized
 
using a graded vesting method.
 
We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

In addition to equity-based awards granted in fiscal 2021 under the Company’s long-term incentive program, the
Compensation Committee granted a Special Pandemic Recognition Award under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan to
recipients of performance-based RSUs under the 2018 long-term
 
incentive program.
 
The payout under the
performance-based restricted stock units granted under the fiscal 2018
 
long-term incentive program (the “2018
LTIP”) was negatively impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Given the significance of the impact of the
pandemic on the Company’s
three-year
 
EPS goal under such equity awards and the contributions made
 
by the
Company’s employees (including those who received such awards), on March 3, 2021, the Compensation
Committee granted a Special Pandemic Recognition Award to recipients of performance-based restricted stock
units under the 2018 LTIP who were employed by the Company on the grant date of the Special Pandemic
Recognition Award.
 
These time-based RSU awards vest
50
% on the first anniversary of the grant date and
50
% on
the second anniversary of the grant date, based on the recipient’s continued service and subject to the terms
 
and
conditions of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, and are recorded as compensation
 
expense using a graded vesting
method.
 
The combination of the
20
% payout based on actual performance of the 2018 LTIP and the one-time
Special Pandemic Recognition Award granted in 2021 will generate a cumulative payout of
75
% of each recipient’s
original number of performance-based restricted stock units awarded in 2018
 
if the recipient satisfies the
two-year
vesting schedule commencing on the grant date.
 
Our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income reflect
 
pre-tax share-based compensation expense
of $
12
 
million ($
9
 
million after-tax) and $
13
 
million ($
10
 
million after-tax) for the three months ended March 26,
2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively.
Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards as of March 26, 2022 was $
134
 
million, which is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately
2.6
 
years.
Our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows present
 
our stock-based compensation expense
as an adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating
 
activities for all periods presented.
 
In
the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows, there were
no
 
benefits associated with tax deductions in
excess of recognized compensation as a cash inflow from financing
 
activities for the three months ended March 26,
2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively.
The following weighted-average assumptions were used in determining
 
the most recent fair values of stock options
granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model:
 
2022
Expected dividend yield
 
0.0
%
Expected stock price volatility
 
27.20
%
Risk-free interest rate
 
2.20
%
Expected life of options (years)
 
6.00
We have not declared cash dividends on our stock in the past and we do not anticipate declaring cash dividends in
the foreseeable future.
 
The expected stock price volatility is based on implied volatilities
 
from traded options on
our stock, historical volatility of our stock, and other factors.
 
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S.
Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant in conjunction with considering the expected life of options.
 
The
six-year expected life of the options was determined using the simplified
 
method for estimating the expected term
as permitted under SAB Topic 14.
 
Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or
 
the
value ultimately realized by recipients of stock options, and subsequent
 
events are not indicative of the
reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by us.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable

the treasury stock method in periods in which
they have a dilutive effect.

In accordance with the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the Private Securities
 
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we
provide the following cautionary remarks regarding important factors
 
that, among others, could cause future results
to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, expectations and assumptions
 
expressed or implied
herein.
 
All forward-looking statements made by us are subject to
 
risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of
future performance.
 
These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
 
risks, uncertainties and other
factors that may cause our actual results, performance and achievements
 
or industry results to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
 
forward-looking
statements.
 
These statements are generally identified by the use of such
 
terms as “may,” “could,” “expect,”
“intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “anticipate,”
 
“to be,” “to make” or other comparable
terms.
 
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited
 
to, those discussed in
the documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
 
(SEC), including our Annual Report on Form
10-K. Forward looking statements include the overall impact of the Novel
 
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
on the Company, its results of operations, liquidity and financial condition (including any estimates of the impact
on these items), the rate and consistency with which dental and other practices
 
resume or maintain normal
operations in the United States and internationally, expectations regarding personal protective equipment (“PPE”)
and COVID-19 related product sales and inventory levels, whether additional
 
resurgences or variants of the virus
will adversely impact the resumption of normal operations, whether vaccine
 
mandates will adversely impact the
Company (by disrupting our workforce and/or business), whether supply chain
 
disruptions will adversely impact
our business, the impact of restructuring programs as well as of any
 
future acquisitions, and more generally current
expectations regarding performance in current and future periods.
 
Forward looking statements also include the (i)
ability of the Company to have continued access to a variety of COVID-19
 
test types, expectations regarding
COVID-19 test sales, demand and inventory levels, as well
 
as the efficacy or relative efficacy of the test results
given that the test efficacy has not been, or will not have been, independently
 
verified under normal FDA
procedures and (ii) potential for the Company to distribute the COVID-19
 
vaccines and ancillary supplies.
Risk factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current
 
and historical results
include, but are not limited to: risks associated with COVID-19
 
and any variants thereof, as well as other disease
outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics, or similar wide-spread public health concerns
 
and other natural disasters; our
dependence on third parties for the manufacture and supply of our products;
 
our ability to develop or acquire and
maintain and protect new products (particularly technology products) and
 
technologies that achieve market
acceptance with acceptable margins; transitional challenges associated with acquisitions,
 
dispositions and joint
ventures, including the failure to achieve anticipated synergies/benefits; financial
 
and tax risks associated with
acquisitions, dispositions and joint ventures; certain provisions in our governing
 
documents that may discourage
third-party acquisitions of us; effects of a highly competitive (including, without
 
limitation, competition from third-
party online commerce sites) and consolidating market; the repeal or
 
judicial prohibition on implementation of the
Affordable Care Act; changes in the health care industry; risks from expansion of
 
customer purchasing power and
multi-tiered costing structures; increases in shipping costs for our products
 
or other service issues with our third-
party shippers; general global macro-economic and political conditions,
 
including international trade agreements,
potential trade barriers and terrorism; failure to comply with existing and
 
future regulatory requirements; risks
associated with the EU Medical Device Regulation; failure to comply with
 
laws and regulations relating to health
care fraud or other laws and regulations; failure to comply with laws
 
and regulations relating to the collection,
storage and processing of sensitive personal information or standards in electronic
 
health records or transmissions;
changes in tax legislation; risks related to product liability, intellectual property and other claims; litigation
risks; new or unanticipated litigation developments and the status of
 
litigation matters; risks associated with
customs policies or legislative import restrictions; cyberattacks or other
 
privacy or data security breaches; risks
associated with our global operations; our dependence on our senior management,
 
employee hiring and retention,
and our relationships with customers, suppliers and manufacturers;
 
and disruptions in financial markets.
 
The order
in which these factors appear should not be construed to indicate their
 
relative importance or priority.

Recent Developments
COVID-19 Pandemic
 
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created
significant volatility and disruption of global financial markets in
 
2020 and 2021.
 
The impact of COVID-19 had a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows in the
 
second quarter of 2020.
 
In the
latter half of the second quarter of 2020, dental and medical practices began
 
to re-open worldwide, and continued to
do so during the second half of 2020.
 
During the year ended December 25, 2021, patient traffic levels returned to
levels approaching pre-pandemic levels.
 
Demand for dental products and certain medical products throughout 2021
was driven by sales of PPE, COVID-19 test kits and other COVID-19
 
related products.
 
During the three months
ended March 26, 2022, with the exception of COVID-19 test kits, we experienced
 
a decrease in the sales volume of
PPE and COVID-19 related products.
 
During the three months ended March 26, 2022,
 
as a result of an increase in COVID-19 variants, primarily in
Europe and to a lesser extent in North America, we experienced lower dental
 
patient traffic, which began to
increase as the quarter progressed.
 
Although some COVID-19 restrictions are still in place in parts of Europe,
 
we
expect these markets to recover but at a slower pace.
 
In contrast to our dental business, during the three months
ended March 26, 2022, our medical business benefited from an increase
 
in sales volume of COVID-19 test kits and
point-of-care diagnostics.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions
 
made by us that affect, among
other things, our goodwill, long-lived asset and definite-lived intangible
 
asset valuation; inventory valuation; equity
investment valuation; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of
 
deferred income taxes and income
tax contingencies; the allowance for doubtful accounts; hedging activity;
 
supplier rebates; measurement of
compensation cost for certain share-based performance awards and cash bonus
 
plans; and pension plan
assumptions.
 
Due to the significant uncertainty surrounding the future impact of
 
COVID-19, our judgments
regarding estimates and impairments could change in the future.
 
There is an ongoing risk that the COVID-19
pandemic may again have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
 
and cash flows and may
result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.
 
However, the extent of the potential
impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Executive-Level Overview
Henry Schein, Inc. is a solutions company for health care professionals powered
 
by a network of people and
technology.
 
We believe we are the world’s largest
 
provider of health care products and services primarily to
 
office-
based dental and medical practitioners, as well as alternate sites of care.
 
We serve more than one million customers
worldwide including dental practitioners, laboratories, physician practices,
 
and ambulatory surgery centers, as well
as government, institutional health care clinics and other alternate care clinics.
 
We believe that we have a strong
brand identity due to our more than 89 years of experience distributing health
 
care products.
We are headquartered in Melville, New York,
 
employ nearly 22,000 people (of which approximately 10,600
 
are
based outside of the United States) and have operations or affiliates in 32 countries
 
and territories.
 
Our broad
global footprint has evolved over time through our organic success as well as
 
through contribution from strategic
acquisitions.
 
29
We have established strategically located distribution centers around the world to enable us to better serve our
customers and increase our operating efficiency.
 
This infrastructure, together with broad product and service
offerings at competitive prices, and a strong commitment to customer service,
 
enables us to be a single source of
supply for our customers’ needs.
While our primary go-to-market strategy is in our capacity as a distributor, we also manufacture certain
 
dental
specialty products and solutions in the areas of implants, orthodontics
 
and endodontics.
 
We have achieved scale in
these global businesses primarily through acquisitions as manufacturers
 
of these products typically do not utilize a
distribution channel to serve customers.
We conduct our business through two reportable segments: (i) health care distribution and (ii) technology and
value-added services.
 
These segments offer different products and services to the same customer base.
 
Our global
dental businesses serve office-based dental practitioners, dental laboratories, schools
 
and other institutions.
 
Our
global medical businesses serve office-based medical practitioners, ambulatory
 
surgery centers, other alternate-care
settings and other institutions.
The health care distribution reportable segment aggregates our global
 
dental and medical operating segments.
 
This
segment distributes consumable products, small equipment, laboratory
 
products, large equipment, equipment repair
services, branded and generic pharmaceuticals, vaccines, surgical products, dental
 
specialty products (including
implant, orthodontic and endodontic products), diagnostic tests, infection-control
 
products, PPE and vitamins.
 
Our global technology and value-added services business provides software,
 
technology and other value-added
services to health care practitioners.
 
Our technology business offerings include practice management software
systems for dental and medical practitioners.
 
Our value-added practice solutions include practice consultancy,
education, revenue cycle management and financial services on a non-recourse
 
basis, e-services, practice
technology, network and hardware services, as well as consulting, and continuing education services for
practitioners.
A key element to grow closer to our customers is our One Schein initiative, which
 
is a unified go-to-market
approach that enables practitioners to work synergistically with our supply chain,
 
equipment sales and service and
other value-added services, allowing our customers to leverage
 
the combined value that we offer through a single
program.
 
Specifically, One Schein provides customers with streamlined access to our comprehensive offering of
national brand products, our private label products and proprietary specialty
 
products and solutions (including
implant, orthodontic and endodontic products).
 
In addition, customers have access to a wide range of services,
including software and other value-added services.
Industry Overview
In recent years, the health care industry has increasingly focused on cost containment.
 
This trend has benefited
distributors capable of providing a broad array of products and services at
 
low prices.
 
It also has accelerated the
growth of HMOs, group practices, other managed care accounts and collective
 
buying groups, which, in addition to
their emphasis on obtaining products at competitive prices, tend to
 
favor distributors capable of providing
specialized management information support.
 
We believe that the trend towards cost containment has the potential
to favorably affect demand for technology solutions, including software, which can
 
enhance the efficiency and
facilitation of practice management.
Our operating results in recent years have been significantly affected by strategies
 
and transactions that we
undertook to expand our business, domestically and internationally, in part to address significant changes
 
in the
health care industry, including consolidation of health care distribution companies, health care reform, trends
toward managed care, cuts in Medicare and collective purchasing arrangements.
Our current and future results have been and could be impacted by
 
the COVID-19 pandemic, the current economic
environment and continued economic and public health uncertainty.
 
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in
early 2020, we have been carefully monitoring its impact on our global
 
operations and have taken appropriate steps
30
to minimize the risk to our employees.
 
We have seen and expect to continue to see changes in demand trends for
some of our products and services, supply chain challenges and labor
 
challenges, as rates of infection fluctuate, new
strains or variants of COVID-19 emerge and spread, vaccine uptake and mandates
 
increase and change,
governments adapt their approaches to combatting the virus (including
 
without limitation, vaccine mandates), and
local conditions change across geographies.
 
For example, vaccine mandates affecting our workforce, whether
imposed through government regulations or contracts with governmental authorities
 
or other customers, could
potentially cause staffing shortages if employees choose not to comply as well as
 
other consequences to our
business or operations, managing and tracking vaccination status and ongoing
 
testing for exempt employees could
potentially increase our costs, as could addressing inconsistent COVID-19
 
vaccination mandates.
 
As a result, we
expect to see continued volatility through at least the duration of the pandemic.
Industry Consolidation
The health care products distribution industry, as it relates to office-based health care practitioners, is fragmented
and diverse.
 
The industry ranges from sole practitioners working out
 
of relatively small offices to group practices
or service organizations ranging in size from a few practitioners to a large number of practitioners who have
combined or otherwise associated their practices.
Due in part to the inability of office-based health care practitioners to store and manage
 
large quantities of supplies
in their offices, the distribution of health care supplies and small equipment to office-based health
 
care practitioners
has been characterized by frequent, small quantity orders, and a need for
 
rapid, reliable and substantially complete
order fulfillment.
 
The purchasing decisions within an office-based health care practice are typically
 
made by the
practitioner or an administrative assistant.
 
Supplies and small equipment are generally purchased from more
 
than
one distributor, with one generally serving as the primary supplier.
The trend of consolidation extends to our customer base.
 
Health care practitioners are increasingly seeking to
partner, affiliate or combine with larger entities such as hospitals, health systems, group practices or physician
hospital organizations.
 
In many cases, purchasing decisions for consolidated groups
 
are made at a centralized or
professional staff level; however, orders are delivered to the practitioners’ offices.
We believe that consolidation within the industry will continue to result in a number of distributors, particularly
those with limited financial, operating and marketing resources, seeking
 
to combine with larger companies that can
provide growth opportunities.
 
This consolidation also may continue to result in distributors seeking
 
to acquire
companies that can enhance their current product and service offerings or provide
 
opportunities to serve a broader
customer base.
Our trend with regard to acquisitions and joint ventures has been to expand
 
our role as a provider of products and
services to the health care industry.
 
This trend has resulted in our expansion into service areas that complement
 
our
existing operations and provide opportunities for us to develop synergies with, and
 
thus strengthen, the acquired
businesses.
As industry consolidation continues, we believe that we are positioned
 
to capitalize on this trend, as we believe we
have the ability to support increased sales through our existing infrastructure,
 
although there can be no assurances
that we will be able to successfully accomplish this.
 
We also have invested in expanding our sales/marketing
infrastructure to include a focus on building relationships with decision
 
makers who do not reside in the office-
based practitioner setting.
As the health care industry continues to change, we continually evaluate possible
 
candidates for joint venture or
acquisition and intend to continue to seek opportunities to expand our
 
role as a provider of products and services to
the health care industry.
 
There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully pursue
 
any such
opportunity or consummate any such transaction, if pursued.
 
If additional transactions are entered into or
consummated, we would incur merger and/or acquisition-related costs, and
 
there can be no assurance that the
integration efforts associated with any such transaction would be successful.
 
In response to the COVID-19
pandemic, we had taken a range of actions to preserve cash, including
 
the temporary suspension of significant
31
acquisition activity.
 
During the second half of 2020, as global conditions improved, we resumed
 
our acquisition
strategy.
Aging Population and Other Market Influences
The health care products distribution industry continues to experience growth
 
due to the aging population,
increased health care awareness, the proliferation of medical technology
 
and testing, new pharmacology treatments,
and expanded third-party insurance coverage, partially offset by the effects of unemployment on insurance
coverage. In addition, the physician market continues to benefit from the shift
 
of procedures and diagnostic testing
from acute care settings to alternate-care sites, particularly physicians’
 
offices.
 
According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Database, in 2021 there were more than six and a half million
Americans aged 85 years or older, the segment of the population most in need of long-term care
 
and elder-care
services. By the year 2050, that number is projected to nearly triple to approximately
 
19 million. The population
aged 65 to 84 years is projected to increase by approximately 32% during
 
the same period.
 
As a result of these market dynamics, annual expenditures for health
 
care services continue to increase in the
United States.
 
We believe that demand for our products and services will grow while continuing to be impacted by
current and future operating, economic, and industry conditions. The Centers
 
for Medicare and Medicaid Services,
or CMS, published “National Health Expenditure Data” indicating
 
that total national health care spending reached
approximately $4.1 trillion in 2020, or 19.7% of the nation’s gross domestic product, the benchmark
 
measure for
annual production of goods and services in the United States.
 
Health care spending is projected to reach
approximately $6.2 trillion in 2028, approximately 19.7% of the
 
nation’s projected gross domestic product.
 
The
latest projections begin after the latest historical year 2018 and go through
 
2028. These projections do not take into
account the impacts of COVID-19 because of the timing of the report and
 
the highly uncertain nature of the
pandemic.
Government
Certain of our businesses involve the distribution, importation, exportation,
 
marketing and sale of, and third party
payment for, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and in this regard, we are subject to extensive
 
local, state,
federal and foreign governmental laws and regulations, including
 
as applicable to our wholesale distribution of
pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and as part of our specialty home medical
 
supply business that distributes and
sells medical equipment and supplies directly to patients.
 
The federal government and state governments have also
increased enforcement activity in the health care sector, particularly in areas of fraud and abuse, anti-bribery
 
and
corruption, controlled substances handling, medical device regulations and
 
data privacy and security standards.
In addition, certain of our businesses must operate in compliance with
 
a variety of burdensome and complex billing
and record-keeping requirements in order to substantiate claims for payment under
 
federal, state and commercial
healthcare reimbursement programs.
 
One of these businesses was recently suspended by CMS from
 
receiving
payments from Medicare, although it is permitted to continue to perform
 
and bill for Medicare services.
 
The
amounts billed are being deposited in an escrow account pending resolution
 
of an audit.
 
The Company has not
recognized revenue for these services and has currently deferred slightly over $8
 
million in revenue (including $4
million deferred during the three months ended March 26, 2022 and slightly
 
over $4 million deferred during the
three months ended December 25, 2021).
Government and private insurance programs fund a large portion of the total cost of medical
 
care, and there have
been efforts to limit such private and government insurance programs, including efforts,
 
thus far unsuccessful, to
seek repeal of the entire United States Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,
 
as amended by the Health Care
and Education Reconciliation Act, each enacted in March 2010, (as amended,
 
the “ACA”).
 
In addition, activities to
control medical costs, including laws and regulations lowering reimbursement
 
rates for pharmaceuticals, medical
devices and/or medical treatments or services, are ongoing.
 
Many of these laws and regulations are subject to
change and their evolving implementation may impact our operations and
 
our financial performance.

Our businesses are generally subject to numerous laws and regulations that could
 
impact our financial performance,
and failure to comply with such laws or regulations could have a
 
material adverse effect on our business.
A more detailed discussion of governmental laws and regulations
 
is included in Management’s Discussion &
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
 
contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 25, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 15, 2022.

Plans of Restructuring
On November 20, 2019, we committed to a contemplated restructuring
 
initiative intended to mitigate stranded costs
associated with the spin-off of our animal health business and to rationalize operations
 
and to provide expense
efficiencies.
 
These restructuring activities were completed in 2021.
During the three months ended March 27, 2021, we recorded restructuring
 
costs of $3 million.
 
As of March 26,
2022 and December 25, 2021, the remaining accrued balance for restructuring
 
costs was $3 million and $4 million,
respectively.

products), diagnostic tests, infection-control products, PPE and vitamins.
(2)
Consists of practice management software and other value-added products, which are distributed primarily to health care providers,
practice consultancy, education, revenue cycle management and financial services on a non-recourse basis, e-services, continuing

The 8.7% increase in net sales includes an increase of 10.1% in local currency
 
sales (7.7% increase in internally
generated sales and 2.4% growth from acquisitions) partially offset by a decrease
 
of 1.4% related to foreign
currency exchange.
 
We estimate that sales of PPE and COVID-19 related products were approximately $487
million, an increase of 4.4% versus the prior year.
 
Excluding PPE and COVID-19 related products, the estimated
increase in internally generated local currency sales was 8.9%.
The 2.2% increase in dental net sales includes an increase of 4.4% in local
 
currency sales (3.5% increase in
internally generated sales and 0.9% growth from acquisitions) partially offset by a
 
decrease of 2.2% related to
foreign currency exchange.
 
The 4.4% increase in local currency sales was attributable to an increase in dental
consumable merchandise sales of 2.4% (1.3% increase in internally generated
 
sales and 1.1% growth from
acquisitions) and an increase in dental equipment and service
 
sales of 12.0% (11.9% increase in internally
generated sales and 0.1% growth from acquisitions).
 
Our sales growth in dental merchandise was lower than our
sales growth in dental equipment during the first half of the three months
 
ended March 26, 2022.
 
As a result of an
increase in COVID-19 variants, primarily in Europe and to a lesser extent
 
in North America, our dental
merchandise growth was impacted by lower patient traffic, which began to increase as the
 
quarter progressed.
 
Dental equipment sales increased in both our North American and international
 
markets, which is primarily
attributable to increased demand and strong order backlog.
 
We estimate that our dental business recorded sales of
approximately $143 million of PPE and COVID-19 related products, an estimated
 
decrease of 15.3% versus the
prior year.
 
Excluding PPE and COVID-19 related products, the estimated
 
increase in internally generated local
currency dental sales was 6.3%.
The 18.3% increase in medical net sales includes an increase of 18.5%
 
in local currency sales (14.7% increase in
internally generated sales and 3.8% growth from acquisitions), partially offset by
 
a decrease of 0.2% related to
foreign currency exchange.
 
We estimate that our medical business recorded sales of approximately $344 million of
PPE, COVID-19 test kits, point-of-care diagnostics and other COVID-19
 
related products for the three months
ended March 26, 2022, an estimated increase of 15.7%
 
compared to the prior year.
 
Excluding sales of PPE,
COVID-19 test kits, point-of-care diagnostics and other COVID-19
 
related products, the estimated increase in
internally generated local currency medical sales was 14.5%.
The 23.4% increase in technology and value-added services net sales includes
 
an increase of 24.1%
 
in local
currency sales (11.1% increase in internally generated sales and 13.0% growth from acquisitions)
 
partially offset by
a decrease of 0.7% related to foreign currency exchange.
 
During the quarter ended March 26, 2022, the trend for
transactional software sales improved compared to the prior year, as more patients visited dental practices
worldwide, generating demand for our sales cycle management solutions,
 
and also from cloud-based solutions that
drive practice efficiency and patient engagement.

As a result of different practices of categorizing costs associated with distribution networks
 
throughout our
industry, our gross margins may not necessarily be comparable to other distribution companies.
 
Additionally, we
realize substantially higher gross margin percentages in our technology and value-added services
 
segment than in
our health care distribution segment.
 
These higher gross margins result from being both the developer and seller of
software products and services, as well as certain financial services.
 
The software industry typically realizes higher
gross margins to recover investments in development.
Within our health care distribution segment, gross profit margins may vary from one period to the next.
 
Changes in
the mix of products sold as well as changes in our customer mix have been
 
the most significant drivers affecting
our gross profit margin.
 
For example, sales of our private label products achieve
 
gross profit margins that are
higher than average total gross profit margins of all products.
 
With respect to customer mix, sales to our large-
group customers are typically completed at lower gross margins due to the higher
 
volumes sold as opposed to the
gross margin on sales to office-based practitioners, who normally purchase lower volumes at
 
greater frequencies.
Health care distribution gross profit increased $68 million, or 8.6%, primarily
 
due to the increase in net sales
discussed above.
 
In addition, health care distribution gross profit margin benefitted from supplier rebates
 
during
the quarter due to increased purchase volumes.
 
The overall increase in our health care distribution gross profit
includes an increase of $37 million from internally generated sales, $19
 
million additional gross profit from
acquisitions, and a $12 million increase in the gross margin rates due to product mix and supplier
 
rebates.
 
Technology and value-added services gross profit increased $14 million, or 13.8%, due to a $10 million increase in
internally generated sales and $8 million additional gross profit from acquisitions,
 
partially offset by a decrease of
$4 million from gross margin rates due to product mix.
 
Technology and value-added services gross profit margin
decreased to 64.9% from 70.3% primarily due to lower gross margins of recently acquired
 
companies in the
business services sector.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (including restructuring costs
 
in the three months ended March 27,
2021) increased $68 million, or 10.2%.
The $54 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses within
 
our health care distribution segment
was attributable to an increase of $36 million of operating costs and an increase
 
of $21 million of additional costs
from acquired companies, partially offset by a decrease of $3 million in restructuring costs.
 
The $14 million
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses within our technology
 
and value-added services segment
was attributable to an increase of $7 million of operating costs and an
 
increase of $7 million of additional costs
from acquired companies.
As a component of total selling, general and administrative expenses,
 
selling expenses increased $57 million, or
14.8% to $443 million primarily due to an increase in payroll and payroll
 
related costs and travel and convention
expenses.
 
As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses increased to 13.9%
 
from 13.2%.
As a component of total selling, general and administrative expenses, general
 
and administrative expenses
increased $11 million, or 3.7% to $287 million primarily due to an increase in payroll and payroll related
 
costs and
travel and convention expenses.
 
As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased

Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 26, 2022 our effective tax rate was 24.0% compared
 
to 25.1% for the prior year
period.
 
The difference between our effective tax rates and the federal statutory tax rate for the three
 
months ended
March 26, 2022 primarily relates to state and foreign income taxes and
 
interest expense as well as share-based
compensation.
 
The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the three months
ended March 27, 2021 was primarily due to state and foreign income
 
taxes and interest expense.
36
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our principal capital requirements have included funding of acquisitions, purchases
 
of additional noncontrolling
interests, repayments of debt principal, the funding of working capital needs,
 
purchases of fixed assets and
repurchases of common stock (which had been temporarily suspended
 
in April 2020, but were resumed in early
March 2021).
 
Working capital requirements generally result from increased sales, special inventory forward buy-in
opportunities and payment terms for receivables and payables.
 
Historically, sales have tended to be stronger during
the second half of the year and special inventory forward buy-in opportunities
 
have been most prevalent just before
the end of the year, and have caused our working capital requirements to be higher from the end of the
 
third quarter
to the end of the first quarter of the following year.
We finance our business primarily through cash generated from our operations, revolving credit facilities and debt
placements.
 
Please see
 
for further information.
 
Our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from
operations is dependent on the continued demand of our customers
 
for our products and services, and access to
products and services from our suppliers.
Our business requires a substantial investment in working capital, which
 
is susceptible to fluctuations during the
year as a result of inventory purchase patterns and seasonal demands.
 
Inventory purchase activity is a function of
sales activity, special inventory forward buy-in opportunities and our desired level of inventory.
 
We anticipate
future increases in our working capital requirements.
We finance our business to provide adequate funding for at least 12 months.
 
Funding requirements are based on
forecasted profitability and working capital needs, which, on occasion, may
 
change.
 
Consequently, we may change
our funding structure to reflect any new requirements.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, our ability to access private debt markets and public equity markets,
and our available funds under existing credit facilities provide us with
 
sufficient liquidity to meet our currently
foreseeable short-term and long-term capital needs.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $93 million for the
 
three months ended March 26, 2022, compared to
net cash provided by operating activities of $63 million for the comparable
 
prior year period.
 
The net change of
$30 million was primarily attributable to higher net income and decreased
 
working capital, specifically a decrease
in inventory
 
levels of PPE and COVID-19 related products, and reduced levels
 
of prepaid inventory and lower
outstanding vendor rebates.
 
These working capital decreases were partially offset by an increase in accounts
receivable balances resulting from increased sales.
Net cash used in investing activities was $27 million for the three
 
months ended March 26, 2022, compared to $223
million for the comparable prior year period.
 
The net change of $196 million was primarily attributable to
decreased payments for equity investments and business acquisitions.
Net cash used in financing activities was $62 million for the three
 
months ended March 26, 2022, compared to net
cash used in financing activities of $120 million for the comparable
 
prior year period.
 
The net change of $58
million was primarily due to decreased repurchases of common stock.

Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances and investments
 
in money market funds representing
overnight investments with a high degree of liquidity.
Accounts receivable days sales outstanding and inventory turns
Our accounts receivable days sales outstanding from operations decreased
 
to 42 days as of March 26, 2022 from 43
days as of March 27, 2021.
 
During the three months ended March 26, 2022, we wrote off approximately $3 million
of fully reserved accounts receivable against our trade receivable reserve.
 
Our inventory turns from operations
decreased to 4.7 as of March 26, 2022 from 5.2 as of March 27, 2021.
 
Our working capital accounts may be
impacted by current and future economic conditions.
Leases
We have operating and finance leases for corporate offices, office space, distribution and other facilities, vehicles,
and certain equipment.
 
Our leases have remaining terms of less than one year to
 
approximately 19 years, some of
which may include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years.
 
As of March 26, 2022, our right-of-use assets
related to operating leases were $331 million and our current and non-current
 
operating lease liabilities were $76
million and $277 million, respectively.
Stock Repurchases
On March 8, 2021, we announced the reinstatement of our share repurchase
 
program.
From March 3, 2003 through March 26, 2022, we repurchased $4.0 billion,
 
or 81,068,993 shares, under our
common stock repurchase programs, with $200 million available as of March
 
26, 2022 for future common stock
share repurchases.
During the fiscal quarter ended March 26, 2022,
 
we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock because
 
we
had a 10b5-1 plan that did not result in any shares being repurchased during
 
the quarter.
 
We intend to put in place
an additional plan effective May 4, 2022.

ITEM 4.
 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including
 
our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report
 
as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
 
amended (the “Exchange Act”).
 
Based
on this evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal
 
financial officer,
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March
 
26, 2022, to ensure that all
material information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file
 
or submit under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to them as appropriate to allow timely
 
decisions regarding required disclosure and
that all such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
 
within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The combination of continued acquisition integrations and system
 
implementation undertaken during the quarter
and carried over from prior quarters when considered in the aggregate, represents
 
a material change in our internal
control over financial reporting.
During the three months ended March 26, 2022, post-acquisition integration
 
related activities continued for our
dental and medical businesses acquired during prior quarters.
 
These acquisitions, the majority of which utilize
separate information and financial accounting systems, have been
 
included in our consolidated financial statements
since their respective dates of acquisition.
 
In addition, during the quarter ended March 26, 2022, we completed the
 
systems implementation activities to
upgrade the warehouse management system for our Australian dental
 
business.
All continued acquisition integrations and systems implementation involve
 
necessary and appropriate change-
management controls that are considered in our quarterly assessment of
 
the design and operating effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide
 
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the internal control system are met.
 
Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control
system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control
 
issues, if any, within a company
have been detected.

ITEM 2.
 
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
 
AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Purchases of equity securities by the issuer
 
Our share repurchase program announced on March 3, 2003
, originally allowed us to repurchase up to two million
shares pre-stock splits (eight million shares post-stock splits) of our common
 
stock, which represented
approximately 2.3% of the shares outstanding at the commencement of
 
the program.
 
Subsequent additional
increases totaling $4.1 billion, authorized by our Board of Directors,
 
to the repurchase program provide for a total
of $4.2 billion of shares of our common stock to be repurchased under this
 
program.
As of March 26, 2022, we had repurchased approximately $4.0 billion of
 
common stock (81,068,993 shares) under
these initiatives, with $200 million available for future common stock
 
share repurchases.
During the fiscal quarter ended March 26, 2022, we did not repurchase
 
any shares of our common stock because we
had a 10b5-1 plan that did not result in any shares being repurchased during
 
the quarter.
 
We intend to put in place
an additional plan effective May 4, 2022.
The maximum number of shares that could be purchased under this program
 
is determined at the end of each month
based on the closing price of our common stock at that time.
 
The maximum number of shares that could be
repurchased as of January 29, 2022, February 26, 2022, and March
 
26, 2022 were 2,642,010, 2,290,428 and
2,276,610, respectively.

ITEM 5.
 
OTHER INFORMATION
On May 2, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
 
(the “Compensation Committee”)
approved the adoption of the Henry Schein, Inc. Executive Change in Control
 
Plan (the “CIC Plan”). The CIC Plan
contains the following material terms and conditions (terms capitalized but
 
not defined in the below description
have the definitions set forth in the CIC Plan):
Eligibility and Participation.
 
Members of our Executive Management Committee (“EMC”) and
 
other
employees of the Company or its subsidiaries who are specifically designated
 
by the “Administrator” are
eligible to participate in the CIC Plan, in each case,
 
subject to such person’s execution of a “Participation
Agreement” provided by the Company (in the form attached as Appendix
 
A to the CIC Plan), and provided
that such person is a member of a select group of management or highly
 
compensated employees.
Benefits Under the CIC Plan.
 
In the event that a participant in the Plan is terminated without “Cause”, or
resigns for “Good Reason”, in each case, during the period starting
 
90 days prior to a “Change in Control”
(or, if earlier, the date of the first public announcement of a pending “Change in Control”) and ending two
years following a Change in Control (such termination of employment,
 
a “Termination”), then subject to
execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, the participant will be
 
entitled to receive:
base salary through the Termination date;
 
a pro-rated annual bonus based on actual performance for the year
 
in which the Termination
occurs;
 
an amount equal to the product of (A) the sum of the participant’s base salary and target annual
bonus amount, multiplied by (B) the “Severance Multiple”
 
immediate vesting of the participant’s outstanding stock options (to the maximum extent
permitted by the applicable stock option plan), restricted stock/units, deferred
 
stock awards and
non-qualified retirement benefits;
settlement of the participant’s deferred compensation arrangements in accordance with the
applicable plan or election form; and
COBRA continuation health coverage subsidized by the Company (with
 
the participant paying the
applicable active employee rate) for up to the applicable severance period
 
(not to exceed 18
months).
Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee has the sole discretion
 
to set and/or increase a participant’s
Severance Multiple under the Plan, but in no event to a value greater
 
than 3.0. The Compensation Committee has
set the Severance Multiple for each participant (other than a participant who
 
serves as our Chief Executive Officer)
who is an “executive officer” (as determined under Securities and Exchange Commission
 
rules) to 2.0, and has set
the Severance Multiple for all other participants to 1.0.
Restrictive Covenants.
 
The CIC Plan contains perpetual confidentiality and non-disparagement
 
provisions,
and prohibits solicitation of Company employees for 24 months following the
 
participant’s termination of
employment for any reason.
Amendment and Termination.
 
The CIC Plan cannot be terminated or amended in any way
 
that materially
and adversely affects the right of a participant without such participant’s consent. Additionally, the CIC
Plan cannot be amended or terminated in any way during the time period
 
starting 90 days prior to a Change
in Control (or the date the Company enters into a definitive agreement to
 
effect a Change in Control) and
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
42
ending on the later of (i) two years after a Change in Control or (ii) the date
 
that all payments and benefits
under the Plan have been paid.
The foregoing summary of the CIC Plan does not purport to be complete
 
and is subject to, and qualified in its
entirety by, the full text of the CIC Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
