Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(in thousands, unless otherwise indicated)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Owens & Minor, Inc. and the subsidiaries it controls (we, us, or our) and contain all adjustments (which are comprised only of normal recurring accruals and use of estimates) necessary to conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Note 2—Fair Value

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, financing receivables, accounts payable and financing payables included in the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market (Level 1) or, if quoted market prices or dealer quotes are not available, on the borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms, credit ratings and average remaining maturities (Level 2). We determine the fair value of our derivatives based on quoted market prices. See Note 8 for the fair value of long-term debt and Note 9 for the fair value of derivatives.

Note 3—Acquisitions

On October 1, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Medical Action Industries Inc. (Medical Action), a leading producer of surgical kits and procedure trays, which enabled an expansion of our capabilities in the assembly of kits, packs and trays for the healthcare market.

On November 1, 2014, we acquired ArcRoyal, a privately held surgical kitting company based in Ireland (ArcRoyal). The transaction expanded our capabilities in the assembly of kits, packs and trays in the European healthcare market.

The combined consideration for these two acquisitions was $261.6 million, net of cash acquired, and including debt assumed of $13.4 million (capitalized lease obligations).

The purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon our estimate of their fair values at the date of acquisition, with certain exceptions permitted under GAAP. The combined purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets by $150.6 million, which was allocated to goodwill. The following table presents, in the aggregate, the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized as of the acquisition date.



	Preliminary Fair Value Estimated as of Acquisition Date		Measurement Period Adjustments Recorded in 2015			Fair Value as of Acquisition Date
Assets acquired:
Current assets	$	90,608	$	(229	)	$	90,379
Property and equipment	34,048		(2,502		)	31,546
Goodwill	150,492		121			150,613
Intangible assets	77,623		—			77,623
Total assets	352,771		(2,610		)	350,161
Liabilities assumed:
Current liabilities	64,736		(1,187		)	63,549
Noncurrent liabilities	26,426		(1,423		)	25,003
Total liabilities	91,162		(2,610		)	88,552
Fair value of net assets acquired, net of cash	$	261,609	$	—		$	261,609

We are amortizing the fair value of acquired intangible assets, primarily customer relationships, over their remaining weighted average useful lives of 14 years.

Goodwill of $150.6 million consists largely of expected opportunities to expand our kitting capabilities. We assigned goodwill of $20.9 million to our International segment and $129.7 million to our Domestic segment. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because the effects on revenue and net income were not material to our historic consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition-related expenses in 2015 consisted primarily of transition costs incurred to integrate the acquired operations (including certain severance and contractual payments to former management). We recognized pre-tax acquisition-related expenses of $1.3 million in the third quarter and $5.5 million year-to-date in 2015 related to these activities.

Acquisition-related expenses of $4.6 million and $8.7 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 consisted of costs to perform due diligence and analysis related to the Medical Action and ArcRoyal acquisitions, as well as certain costs in Movianto to resolve issues and claims with the former owner and the transition of certain information technology functions.

Note 4—Financing Receivables and Payables

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had financing receivables of $156.1 million and $196.2 million and related payables of $101.9 million and $168.8 million outstanding under our order-to-cash program and product financing arrangements, which were included in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 5—Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill through September 30, 2015:



	Domestic Segment		International Segment			Consolidated
Carrying amount of goodwill, December 31, 2014	$	377,089	$	46,187		$	423,276
Currency translation adjustments	—		(2,625		)	(2,625		)
Acquisitions (see Note 3)	1,109		(988		)	121
Carrying amount of goodwill, September 30, 2015	$	378,198	$	42,574		$	420,772

Intangible assets at September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, were as follows:



	September 30, 2015					December 31, 2014
	Customer Relationships			Other Intangibles		Customer Relationships			Other Intangibles

Gross intangible assets	$	123,013		$	2,574	$	125,448		$	3,405
Accumulated amortization	(27,513		)	10		(19,773		)	(487		)
Net intangible assets	$	95,500		$	2,584	$	105,675		$	2,918

At September 30, 2015, $61.6 million in net intangible assets were held in the Domestic segment and $36.5 million were held in the International segment. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $2.4 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and $7.2 million and $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Based on the current carrying value of intangible assets subject to amortization, estimated amortization expense is $2.6 million for the remainder of 2015, $10.1 million for 2016, $10.0 million for 2017, $9.4 million for 2018, $9.2 million for 2019 and $9.2 million for 2020.

Note 6—Exit and Realignment Costs

We periodically incur exit and realignment and other charges associated with optimizing our operations which include the closure and consolidation of certain distribution and logistics centers, administrative offices and warehouses in the United States and Europe. These charges also include other costs associated with our strategic organizational realignment which include management changes, certain professional fees, and costs to streamline administrative functions and processes.

Exit and realignment charges by segment for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

In addition to the exit and realignment accruals in the preceding table, we also incurred $3.8 million and $13.8 million of costs that were expensed as incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, including $0.3 million and $4.5 million in accelerated amortization on an information system that has been replaced, $0.4 million and $3.0 million in other facility costs and asset write-downs, $1.0 million and $2.5 million in labor costs, $0.5 million and $0.5 million in professional fees, $1.2 million and $2.2 million in information systems costs and $0.4 million and $1.1 million in other costs.

Our expense for these plans totaled $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and $1.4 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Note 8—Debt

We have $275 million of 3.875% senior notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) and $275 million of 4.375% senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”), with interest payable semi-annually. The 2021 Notes were sold at 99.5% of the principal amount with an effective yield of 3.951%. The 2024 Notes were sold at 99.6% of the principal with an effective yield of 4.422%. We have the option to redeem the 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes in part or in whole prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount or the present value of the remaining scheduled payments discounted at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of the 2021 Notes was $279.4 million and $275.1 million and the estimated fair value of the 2024 Notes was $276.2 million and $283.9 million, respectively.

We have a Credit Agreement with a $450 million borrowing capacity which extends through September 2019. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we have the ability to request two one-year extensions and to request an increase in aggregate commitments by up to $200 million. The interest rate on the Amended Credit Agreement, which is subject to adjustment quarterly, is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, plus an adjustment based on the better of our debt ratings or leverage ratio (Credit Spread) as defined by the Amended Credit Agreement. We are charged a commitment fee of between 12.5 and 25.0 basis points on the unused portion of the facility. The terms of the Amended Credit Agreement limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and require us to maintain ratios for leverage and interest coverage, including on a pro forma basis in the event of an acquisition. Based on our leverage ratio at September 30, 2015, the interest rate under the credit facility is LIBOR plus 1.375%.

At September 30, 2015, we had no borrowings and letters of credit of approximately $5.0 million outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, leaving $445 million available for borrowing. We also have a $1.2 million and $1.5 million letter of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, which supports our facilities leased in Europe.

The Amended Credit Agreement and senior notes contain cross-default provisions which could result in the acceleration of payments due in the event of default of either agreement. We believe we were in compliance with our debt covenants at September 30, 2015.

Note 9—Derivatives

When deemed appropriate, we use derivatives, primarily forward contracts, as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of foreign currency exchange risk. The total notional values of our foreign currency derivatives was $3.9 million at September 30, 2015 and $10.0 million as of December 31, 2014. We do not currently have any derivatives designated as hedging instruments and all gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are immediately recognized into earnings. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the fair value of our foreign currency contracts included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet was $0.7 million. The impact from changes in the fair value of these foreign currency derivatives included in other operating expense was $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. We did not hold foreign currency contracts in the first nine months of 2014. We consider the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.

Note 10—Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 39.8% and 41.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 55.8% and 43.5% in the same periods of 2014. The change in rate is mainly due to the impact of foreign taxes and the effect of certain acquisition-related costs which are not deductible for tax purposes. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $6.2 million at September 30, 2015, and $6.7 million at December 31, 2014. Included in the liability at September 30, 2015 were $3.8 million of tax positions for which ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.

Note 11—Net Income per Common Share

The following summarizes the calculation of net income per common share attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Note 12—Shareholders’ Equity

Our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock to be executed at the discretion of management over a three-year period, expiring in February 2017. The program is intended, in part, to offset shares issued in conjunction with our stock incentive plans and return capital to shareholders. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we repurchased in open-market transactions and retired approximately 0.5 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $15.8 million, or an average price per share of $33.72. As of September 30, 2015, we have approximately $74.2 million remaining under the repurchase program. We have elected to allocate any excess of share repurchase price over par value to retained earnings.

We include amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income related to defined benefit pension plans as a component of net periodic pension cost recorded in selling, general & administrative expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we reclassified $0.4 million and $1.2 million of actuarial net losses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we reclassified $0.2 million and $0.6 million of actuarial net losses.

Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies

Prior to exiting the direct-to-consumer business in January 2009, we received reimbursements from Medicare, Medicaid, and private healthcare insurers for certain customer billings. We are subject to audits of these reimbursements for up to seven years from the date of the service.

In the first quarter of 2015, we settled our dispute and terminated the service contract with a customer in the United Kingdom. As part of the settlement, we entered into a transition agreement for the transfer of services back to this customer and paid approximately $3.9 million that was fully accrued at December 31, 2014. Substantially all outstanding accounts receivable as of December 31, 2014 related to this contract have been received.

Note 16—Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information for: Owens & Minor, Inc. (O&M); the guarantors of Owens & Minor, Inc.’s 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes, on a combined basis; and the non-guarantor subsidiaries of the 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes, on a combined basis. The guarantor subsidiaries are 100% owned by Owens & Minor, Inc. Separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because the guarantees by our guarantor subsidiaries are full and unconditional, as well as joint and several, and we believe the condensed consolidating financial information is more meaningful in understanding the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the guarantor subsidiaries.

Note 17—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Under this ASU, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments in the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this ASU in the third quarter of 2015. We have not retrospectively accounted for the measurement-period adjustments as described in Note 3.

There have been no other changes in our significant accounting policies from those contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis describes results of operations and material changes in the financial condition of Owens & Minor, Inc. and its subsidiaries since December 31, 2014. Trends of a material nature are discussed to the extent known and considered relevant. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, related notes thereto, and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Overview

Owens & Minor, Inc., along with its subsidiaries, (we, us, or our) is a leading national distributor of name-brand medical and surgical supplies and a healthcare logistics company. We report our business under two segments: Domestic and International. The Domestic segment includes all functions relating to our role as a medical supply logistics company providing distribution, kitting and logistics services to healthcare providers and manufacturers in the United States. The International segment consists of our European third-party logistics and kitting businesses. Segment financial information is provided in Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report.

Financial highlights. The following table provides a reconciliation of reported operating earnings, net income and net income per diluted common share to non-GAAP measures used by management.



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in thousands except per share data)	2015			2014			2015			2014
Operating earnings, as reported (GAAP)	$	53,572		$	35,377		$	142,408		$	118,763
Acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges	6,134			13,957			21,757			24,813
Operating earnings, adjusted (non-GAAP) (Adjusted Operating Earnings)	$	59,706		$	49,334		$	164,165		$	143,576
Adjusted Operating Earnings as a percent of revenue (non-GAAP)	2.42		%	2.07		%	2.25		%	2.07		%
Net income, as reported (GAAP)	$	28,176		$	7,155		$	71,342		$	52,516
Acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges, net of tax	5,379			10,297			18,841			17,614
Loss on early retirement of debt, net of tax	—			9,092			—			9,092
Net income, adjusted (non-GAAP) (Adjusted Net Income)	$	33,555		$	26,544		$	90,183		$	79,222
Net income per diluted common share, as reported (GAAP)	$	0.45		$	0.11		$	1.14		$	0.84
Acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges and loss on early retirement of debt, per diluted common share	0.09			0.31			0.30			0.42
Net income per diluted common share, adjusted (non-GAAP)(Adjusted EPS)	$	0.54		$	0.42		$	1.44		$	1.26

Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) was $0.54 and $1.44 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, compared to $0.42 and $1.26 for the same periods in 2014. Domestic segment operating earnings increased by $7.2 million to $58.0 million in the third quarter and increased $9.1 million to $160.9 million for the year-to-date period when compared to prior year. The International segment improved $3.2 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2015 to operating income of $1.7 million and improved $11.5 million on a year-to-date basis to operating income of $3.3 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This management’s discussion and analysis 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 our 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 our 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 our financial and operating results and in comparing our performance to that of our competitors. However, the non-GAAP financial measures used by us 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 us should not be considered a substitute 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.

Acquisition-related charges were $1.3 million and $5.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $4.6 million and $8.7 million for the same periods of 2014. Current year charges consist primarily of costs to continue the integration of Medical Action and ArcRoyal which were acquired in the fourth quarter of 2014 including certain severance and contractual payments to former management and costs to transition information technology and other administrative functions. Prior year charges consisted primarily of transaction costs incurred to perform due diligence and analysis related to these acquisitions, as well as costs in Movianto to resolve certain contingencies with the former owner.

Exit and realignment charges of $4.8 million and $16.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were associated with optimizing our operations and included the consolidation of distribution and logistics centers and closure of offsite warehouses in the United States and Europe, as well as other costs associated with our strategic organizational realignment which include certain professional fees and costs to streamline administrative functions and processes in Europe. Similar charges in 2014 totaled $9.3 million and $16.1 million in the comparable periods.

In September 2014, we issued an irrevocable election to redeem our 2016 Senior Notes. As a result, we accrued a $14.9 million loss (pretax) on early retirement of debt which includes the redemption premium on the notes of $17.4 million offset by the unamortized gain on previously settled interest rate swaps. The repayment occurred on October 16, 2014.

These charges have been tax effected in the preceding table by determining the income tax rate depending on the amount of charges incurred in different tax jurisdictions and the deductibility of those charges for income tax purposes. Unless otherwise stated, our analysis hereinafter excludes acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges. More information about these charges is provided in Notes 3 and 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report.

Results of Operations

Net revenue.



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change
(Dollars in thousands)	2015		2014		$			%
Domestic	$	2,368,008	$	2,262,081	$	105,927		4.7	%

Net revenue	$	2,471,669	$	2,386,126	$	85,543		3.6	%



	Nine Months Ended September 30,				Change
(Dollars in thousands)	2015		2014		$			%
Domestic	$	6,971,304	$	6,598,531	$	372,773		5.6	%
International	313,728		349,834		(36,106		)	(10.3	)%
Net revenue	$	7,285,032	$	6,948,365	$	336,667		4.8	%

Consolidated net revenue improved in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 as a result of growth in our Domestic segment. Excluding the impact of the 2014 fourth quarter acquisition, Domestic net revenue increased by 2.6% for the quarter and 3.8% year-to-date. The continued trend of growth in our existing large healthcare provider customer accounts and new business exceeded declines from smaller customers and lost business when compared to prior year. Domestic segment growth rates are impacted by ongoing market trends including healthcare utilization rates. The decrease in the International segment net revenue was driven by unfavorable foreign currency translation impacts of $12.4 million and $42.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. On a constant currency basis, excluding the effect of the 2014 acquisition of ArcRoyal, and the late 2014 transition of a customer from a buy/sell to a fee-for-service arrangement, International segment revenues declined approximately 7% for the quarter and were essentially flat for the year-to-date period, compared to prior year. The decline in the quarter resulted largely from the previously announced exit from a U.K. customer contract. Fee-for-service business generally represents approximately two-thirds of net revenue in the International segment.

Cost of goods sold.



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change
(Dollars in thousands)	2015		2014		$		%
Cost of goods sold	$	2,165,315	$	2,093,643	$	71,672	3.4	%



	Nine Months Ended September 30,				Change
(Dollars in thousands)	2015		2014		$		%
Cost of goods sold	$	6,382,740	$	6,092,413	$	290,327	4.8	%

Cost of goods sold includes the cost of the product (net of supplier incentives and cash discounts) and all costs incurred for shipments of products from manufacturers to our distribution centers for all customer arrangements where we are the primary obligor, bear risk of general and physical inventory loss and carry all credit risk associated with sales. These are sometimes referred to as distribution or buy/sell contracts. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014, cost of goods sold also includes direct and certain indirect labor, material and overhead costs associated with our kitting operations. There is no cost of goods sold associated with our fee-for-service business. As a result of the increase in sales activity through our distribution and kitting businesses, cost of goods sold increased from the prior year by $71.7 million and $290.3 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

Gross margin.



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Change
(Dollars in thousands)	2015			2014			$		%
Gross margin	$	306,354		$	292,483		$	13,871	4.7	%
As a % of net revenue	12.39		%	12.26		%



	Nine Months Ended September 30,						Change
(Dollars in thousands)	2015			2014			$		%
Gross margin	$	902,292		$	855,952		$	46,340	5.4	%
As a % of net revenue	12.39		%	12.32		%

The increases in gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the prior year were largely attributable to revenue growth in the Domestic segment as described above, as well as higher benefits from certain supplier product price changes for both the quarter and year-to-date periods, compared to prior year. International gross margin was unfavorably impacted by $9.9 million in the quarter and $34.0 million on a year-to-date basis from foreign currency translation. Excluding this impact, the International segment experienced an increase in gross margin for the nine month period resulting from the 2014 acquisition and growth in fee-for-service business, and was essentially flat for the quarter compared to prior year.

Other operating income, net	$	(5,484	)	$	(12,046	)	$	6,562	(54.5	)%

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses include labor and warehousing costs associated with our distribution and logistics services and all costs associated with our fee-for-service arrangements. Shipping and handling costs are included in SG&A expenses and include costs to store, to move, and to prepare products for shipment, as well as costs to deliver products to customers. The costs to convert new customers to our information systems are generally incurred prior to the recognition of revenues from the new customers.

The increases in SG&A expenses compared to the prior year periods were largely attributable to increased expenses associated with incremental sales activity in the Domestic segment as well as increases from the 2014 acquisitions in both segments, partially offset by favorable foreign currency translation impacts of $9.2 million for the quarter and $31.3 million year-to-date. The Domestic segment also incurred $1.7 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 in costs associated with the recruitment and transition of our new chief executive officer.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased for both periods due to increases in computer software amortization for assets placed in service and amortization from purchase price accounting adjustments. In connection with our kitting operations, approximately $0.3 million and $0.9 million in depreciation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 is also included in cost of goods sold. Additional amortization of $0.3 million and $4.5 million related to the accelerated amortization of an information system which has been replaced in the International segment is included in acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges for the current quarter and year-to-date periods.

The decrease in other operating income, net for the quarter was largely a result of a decline in finance charge income and an increase in loss contingency expense for certain on-going legal matters. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the decline compared to 2014 was attributed primarily to the benefit in the prior year of $5.3 million from the settlement of a direct purchaser anti-trust class action lawsuit which did not re-occur in 2015.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial condition. We monitor operating working capital through days sales outstanding (DSO) and merchandise inventory turnover. We estimate a hypothetical increase (decrease) in DSO of one day would result in a decrease (increase) in our cash balances, an increase (decrease) in borrowings against our revolving credit facility, or a combination thereof of approximately $27 million.

The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are held in cash depository accounts with major banks in the United States and Europe or invested in high-quality, short-term liquid investments. Changes in our working capital can vary in the normal course of business based upon the timing of inventory purchases, collection of accounts receivable, and payment to suppliers.

Liquidity and capital expenditures. The following table summarizes our consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:



(Dollars in thousands)	2015			2014
Net cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities	$	206,038		$	81,144
Investing activities	(32,078		)	(52,069		)
Financing activities	(103,076		)	480,769
Effect of exchange rate changes	(2,411		)	(1,602		)
Increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	68,473		$	508,242

Cash provided by operating activities was $206.0 million in the first nine months of 2015, compared to $81.1 million in the same period of 2014. The increase in cash from operating activities for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to timing of payments to vendors and improvements in net working capital.

Cash used for investing activities was $32.1 million in the first nine months of 2015, compared to $52.1 million in the same period of 2014. Investing activities in 2015 and 2014 relate to capital expenditures for our strategic and operational efficiency initiatives, particularly initiatives relating to information technology enhancements and optimizing our distribution network.

Cash used for financing activities in the first nine months of 2015 was $103 million, compared to cash provided of $481 million in the same period of 2014. During the first nine months of 2014, we received $548 million in proceeds from the issuance of debt which drove the difference on a year over year basis. Other financing activities include dividend payments of of $47.8 million in 2015 (compared to $47.3 million in 2014), the repurchase of common stock under a share repurchase program for $15.8 million in 2015 (compared to $9.9 million in 2014) and the repayment of $33.7 million in borrowings on our Amended Credit Agreement in 2015.

Capital resources. Our sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents and a revolving credit facility. On September 17, 2014, we amended our existing Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and a syndicate of financial institutions (the Amended Credit Agreement) increasing our borrowing capacity from $350 million to $450 million and extending the term through 2019. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we have the ability to request two one-year extensions and to request an increase in aggregate commitments by up to $200 million. The interest rate on the Amended Credit Agreement, which is subject to adjustment quarterly, is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, plus an adjustment based on the better of our debt ratings or leverage ratio (Credit Spread) as defined by the Amended Credit Agreement. We are charged a commitment fee of between 12.5 and 25.0 basis points on the unused portion of the facility. The terms of the Amended Credit Agreement limit the amount of indebtedness that we

may incur and require us to maintain ratios for leverage and interest coverage, including on a pro forma basis in the event of an acquisition. We may utilize the revolving credit facility for long-term strategic growth, capital expenditures, working capital and general corporate purposes. If we were unable to access the revolving credit facility, it could impact our ability to fund these needs. Based on our leverage ratio at September 30, 2015, the interest rate under the credit facility is LIBOR plus 1.375%.

On September 16, 2014, we issued $275 million of 3.875% senior notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) and $275 million of 4.375% senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”). The 2021 Notes were sold at 99.5% of the principal amount with an effective yield of 3.951%. The 2024 Notes were sold at 99.6% of the principal with an effective yield of 4.422%. Interest on the 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes is payable semiannually in arrears, commencing on March 15, 2015 and December 15, 2014, respectively. We have the option to redeem the 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes in part or in whole prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount or the present value of the remaining scheduled payments discounted at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points.

In the third quarter of 2015, we paid cash dividends of $0.2525 per share, which represents a 1% increase over the rate of $0.25 per share paid in the third quarter of 2014. We anticipate continuing to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment of future dividends remains within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

In February 2014, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock to be executed at the discretion of management over a three-year period, expiring in February 2017. The timing of purchases and the number of shares of common stock to be repurchased will be determined by management based upon market conditions and other factors. The program is intended to offset shares issued in conjunction with our stock incentive plan and return capital to shareholders. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the first nine months of 2015, we repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares for $15.8 million under this program. The remaining amount authorized for repurchases under this program is $74.2 million at September 30, 2015.

We earn a portion of our operating earnings in foreign jurisdictions outside the U.S., which we consider to be indefinitely reinvested. Accordingly, no U.S. federal and state income taxes and withholding taxes have been provided on these earnings. Our cash, cash-equivalents, short-term investments, and marketable securities held by our foreign subsidiaries totaled $20.2 million and $31.5 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. We do not intend, nor do we foresee a need, to repatriate these funds or other assets held outside the U.S. In the future, should we require more capital to fund discretionary activities in the U.S. than is generated by our domestic operations and is available through our borrowings, we could elect to repatriate cash or other assets from foreign jurisdictions that have previously been considered to be indefinitely reinvested.

We believe available financing sources, including cash generated by operating activities and borrowings under the revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, long-term strategic growth, payments under long-term debt and lease arrangements, payments of quarterly cash dividends, share repurchases and other cash requirements. While we believe that we will have the ability to meet our financing needs in the foreseeable future, changes in economic conditions may impact (i) the ability of financial institutions to meet their contractual commitments to us, (ii) the ability of our customers and suppliers to meet their obligations to us or (iii) our cost of borrowing.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates related to our revolving credit facility. We had no outstanding borrowings and approximately $5 million in letters of credit under the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2015. A hypothetical increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would result in a potential reduction in future pre-tax earnings of approximately $0.1 million per year for every $10 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

Due to the nature and pricing of our Domestic segment distribution services, we are exposed to potential volatility in fuel prices. Our strategies for helping to mitigate our exposure to changing domestic fuel prices have included entering into leases for trucks with improved fuel efficiency and entering into fixed–price agreements for diesel fuel. We benchmark our domestic diesel fuel purchase prices against the U.S. Weekly Retail On-Highway Diesel Prices (benchmark) as quoted by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The benchmark averaged $2.80 per gallon in the first nine months of 2015, a decrease of $1.11 per gallon from the first nine months of 2014. Based on our fuel consumption in the first nine months of 2015, we estimate that every 10 cents per gallon increase in the benchmark would reduce our Domestic segment operating earnings by approximately $0.3 million on an annualized basis.

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to foreign currency translation and transaction risks. Our business transactions outside of the United States are primarily denominated in the Euro and British Pound. We may use foreign currency forwards, swaps and options, where possible, to manage our risk related to certain foreign currency fluctuations. However, we believe that our foreign currency transaction risks are low since our revenues and expenses are typically denominated in the same currency.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2015. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

SEC guidance permits the exclusion of an evaluation of the effectiveness of a registrant's disclosure controls and procedures as they relate to the internal control over financial reporting for an acquired business during the first year following such acquisition. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we acquired Medical Action and ArcRoyal. These acquisitions represented $335.9 million of total assets and $152.6 million of net revenues as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Management's evaluation and conclusion as to the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of and for the period covered by this report excludes any evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of these acquisitions.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Certain legal proceedings pending against us are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Through September 30, 2015, there have been no material developments in any legal proceedings reported in such Annual Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Certain risk factors that we believe could affect our business and prospects are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Through September 30, 2015, there have been no material changes in the risk factors described in such Annual Report.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In February 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock to be executed at the discretion of management over a three-year period, expiring in February 2017. The program is intended to offset shares issued in conjunction with our stock incentive plan and return capital to shareholders. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Purchases under the share repurchase program are made either pursuant to 10b5-1 plans entered into by the company from time to time and/or during the company’s scheduled quarterly trading windows for officers and directors. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, we repurchased in open-market transactions and retired 0.2 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $8.4 million, or an average price per share of $33.63. The following table summarizes share repurchase activity by month during the three months ended September 30, 2015.



Period	Total number of shares purchased	Average price paid per share		Total number of shares purchased as part of a publicly announced program	Maximum dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the program
