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. The Clinical & Procedural Solutions (CPS) business segment has been renamed "Proprietary Products" effective January 1, 2017. Byram Healthcare (Byram), acquired on August 1, 2017, is included in the Domestic segment. There have been no other changes to the segment composition or our method of measuring segment operating earnings.

Reclassifications

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, if any, based on estimated amounts that would be received or paid to terminate the contracts at the reporting date based on current market prices for applicable currencies. See Note 8 for the fair value of long-term debt.

Note 3—Acquisition

On August 1, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Byram Healthcare, a leading domestic distributor of reimbursable medical supplies sold directly to patients and home health agencies.

The consideration was $367 million, net of cash acquired, which is subject to final working capital adjustments with the seller. The purchase price was allocated on a preliminary basis to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon our current estimate of their fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price exceeded the preliminary estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets by $263 million, which was allocated to goodwill. The following table presents the preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized as of the acquisition date. The fair value of intangibles from this acquisition was primarily determined by applying the income approach, using several significant unobservable inputs for projected cash flows and a discount rate. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs. The allocation of purchase price to assets and liabilities acquired is not yet complete.

Table of Contents



	Preliminary Fair Value Estimated as of Acquisition Date
Assets acquired:
Current assets	$	62,902
Goodwill	263,155
Intangible assets	156,000
Noncurrent assets	3,615
Total assets	485,672
Liabilities assumed:
Current liabilities	72,397
Noncurrent liabilities	46,706
Total liabilities	119,103
Fair value of net assets acquired, net of cash	$	366,569

We are amortizing the preliminary fair value of acquired intangible assets, primarily customer relationships and a tradename, over their estimated remaining weighted average useful lives of 10 years.

Goodwill of $263 million, which we assigned to our Domestic segment, consists largely of expected opportunities to expand into the non-acute market with direct to patient distribution capabilities. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

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

Acquisition-related expenses in the current year consisted primarily of transaction costs incurred to perform due diligence and to analyze, negotiate and consummate the Byram acquisition, and costs to transition the acquired operations. We recognized pre-tax acquisition-related expenses of $3.1 million in 2017 related to these activities.

Note 4—Financing Receivables and Payables

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had financing receivables of $176.9 million and $156.5 million and related payables of $105.5 million and $110.0 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, 2017:



	Domestic		International		Proprietary Products		Consolidated

Net intangible assets	$	192,687		$	39,199		$	79,794		$	2,717

At September 30, 2017, $163.5 million in net intangible assets were held in the Domestic segment, $10.2 million were held in the International segment and $58.2 million were held in the Proprietary Products segment. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $5.1 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and $9.7 million and $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Based on the current carrying value of intangible assets subject to amortization, estimated amortization expense is $11.6 million for the remainder of 2017, $24.6 million for 2018, $24.7 million for 2019, $24.7 million for 2020, $24.4 million for 2021 and $23.5 million for 2022.

Note 6—Exit and Realignment Charges

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

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of the 2021 Notes was $280.1 million and $274.5 million and the estimated fair value of the 2024 Notes was $276.9 million and $270.0 million, respectively.

On July 27, 2017, we entered into a new Credit Agreement replacing the Amended Credit Agreement. The new agreement provides borrowing capacity of $600 million and a $250 million term loan. We make principal payments under the term loan on a quarterly basis with the remaining outstanding principal due in five years. The revolving credit facility has a five-year maturity. The proceeds from the new borrowing were primarily used to fund the Byram acquisition which closed on August 1, 2017. Under the 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 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 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 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, 2017, the interest rate under the credit facility is LIBOR plus 1.375%.

At September 30, 2017, we had borrowings of $117.2 million under the revolver and letters of credit of approximately $5.1 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, leaving $477.7 million available for borrowing. We also had a letter of credit outstanding for $1.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and $1.1 million at December 31, 2016, which supports our facilities leased in Europe.

The 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, 2017.

Note 9—Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 48.1% and 34.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 36.3% and 37.3% in the same periods of 2016. The changes in the effective tax rate compared to 2016 resulted primarily from a change in income mix among different tax rate jurisdictions and the effect of certain acquisition-related costs which were not deductible for tax purposes offset on a year to date basis by the release of an income tax valuation allowance in Europe for $3.4 million during the second quarter of 2017.

The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $13.3 million at September 30, 2017, and $10.7 million at December 31, 2016. Included in the liability at September 30, 2017 were $5.0 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—Shareholders’ Equity

Our Board of Directors has 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 December 2019. The timing of repurchases and the exact number of shares of common stock to be purchased will depend upon market conditions and other factors and 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased in open-market transactions and retired approximately 0.2 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $5.0 million, or an average price per share of $32.27. As of September 30, 2017, we have approximately $94.0 million remaining under the repurchase program. We have elected to allocate any excess of share repurchase price over par value to retained earnings.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we reclassified $0.4 million and $1.2 million of actuarial net losses.

Note 13—Segment Information

We periodically evaluate our application of accounting guidance for reportable segments and disclose information about reportable segments based on the way management organizes the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. We report our business under three segments: Domestic, International and Proprietary Products. The Domestic segment includes our United States distribution, logistics and value-added services business. Byram, acquired on August 1, 2017, is included in the Domestic segment. The International segment consists of our European distribution, logistics and value-added services business. Proprietary Products provides product-related solutions, including surgical and procedural kitting and sourcing.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on their operating earnings excluding acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges, certain purchase price fair value adjustments, and other substantive items that, either as a result of their nature or size, would not be expected to occur as part of our normal business operations on a regular basis. Segment assets exclude inter-segment account balances as we believe their inclusion would be misleading or not meaningful. We believe all inter-segment sales are at prices that approximate market.

The following tables present financial information by segment:

Note 14—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 15—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this updated guidance included changes to simplify the Codification for several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. As a result of this adoption, we recognized $0.1 million and $0.3 million in excess tax benefits in the income statement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. In addition, we recorded these tax benefits related to stock based compensation for the nine month period in operating activities in the statements of cash flows and reclassified $0.7 million from financing activities in the prior period to conform to this presentation.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amended guidance eliminates industry specific guidance and applies to all companies. Revenue will be recognized when an entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for that good or service. Revenue from a contract that contains multiple performance obligations is allocated to each performance obligation generally on a relative standalone selling price basis. Amended guidance was issued on: principal versus agent considerations, shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as an activity to fulfill the promise to transfer the good, clarification on how an entity should evaluate the collectibility threshold and when an entity can recognize nonrefundable consideration received as revenue if an arrangement does not meet the standard’s contract criteria. The amended guidance also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. These amended standards are all effective for us beginning January 1, 2018 and allow for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption (cumulative effect). We have substantially completed our evaluation of the amended guidance, including identification of revenue streams and customer contract reviews. Our revenue is primarily distribution revenue, which we recognize at the time shipment is completed and title passes to the customer. Although we are continuing to assess the impact of the amended guidance, including impact on financial disclosures, we generally anticipate that the timing of recognition of distribution revenue will be substantially unchanged under the amended guidance. We intend to use the modified retrospective method of adoption. We are finalizing our evaluation of how the guidance may require changes to our business processes, systems and controls to support the additional required disclosures.

There has been no change in our significant accounting policies from those contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Note 16—Subsequent Events

On October 31, 2017, we entered into a Purchase Agreement to acquire the Surgical and Infection Prevention (“S&IP”) business of Halyard Health, Inc. ("Halyard") for $710 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments as provided in the Purchase Agreement. Halyard’s S&IP business is a leading global provider of medical supplies and solutions for the prevention of healthcare-associated infections across the acute and alternate site channels. The transaction, which has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including Hart-Scott-Rodino.

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, 2016. 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, 2016.

Overview

Owens & Minor, Inc., along with its subsidiaries, (we, us, or our) is a leading global healthcare services company that connects the world of medical products to the point of care. We report under three business units: Domestic, International and Proprietary Products (formerly Clinical & Procedural Solutions (CPS) which has been renamed "Proprietary Products" effective January 1, 2017). Domestic is our U.S. distribution, logistics and value-added services business. Byram, acquired on August 1, 2017, is included in the Domestic segment. International is our European distribution, logistics and value-added services business. Proprietary Products provides product-related solutions, including surgical and procedural kitting and sourcing. Segment financial information is provided in Note 13 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. In the second quarter of 2017 we began to exclude acquisition-related intangible amortization from our non-GAAP measures, along with the previously excluded items. Intangible amortization amounts are highly dependent on the size and frequency of acquisitions and are being excluded to

allow for a more consistent comparison with forecasted, current and historical results and the results of our peers. Prior period amounts have been recast on the same basis.

Net income per diluted common share, adjusted (non-GAAP)(Adjusted EPS)	$	0.40		$	0.54		$	1.26		$	1.62

Net income per diluted share was $0.18 and $0.82 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $0.30 and $0.50 when compared to the same periods of 2016. Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) was $0.40 and $1.26 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $0.14 and $0.36 compared to prior year. Net income in the year to date period of 2017 benefitted by $3.4 million or $0.06 per share from the release of an income tax valuation allowance in Europe during the second quarter. Domestic segment operating earnings were $36.1 million in the quarter and $102.8 million for the year to date period compared to $41.0 million and $126.2 million in the prior year comparative periods. The declines were largely a result of provider margin compression, the exit of a large customer in 2016 and lower income from manufacturer product price changes on a year to date basis. We expect the current trend of increased gross margin pressure to continue. The International segment operating losses were $2.2 million for the quarter and $0.8 million year to date, compared to operating earnings of $1.4 million and $3.4 million in the prior year. The change compared to prior year resulted primarily from increased costs to support new business. Proprietary Products operating earnings were $9.1 million and $26.0 million, reflecting decreases of $5.2 million and $15.8 million as a result of lower revenues compared to prior year and increased production costs.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted operating earnings, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are an alternative view of performance used by management, and we believe that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these performance measures. 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.

(1) Acquisition-related charges were $4.3 million and $6.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $0.6 million and $0.9 million for the same periods of 2016. Current year charges were primarily transaction and transition costs associated with the acquisition of Byram and the upcoming Halyard S&IP transaction. The prior year amounts related primarily to costs incurred to settle certain obligations and address other on-going matters associated with the acquisitions of ArcRoyal and Medical Action.

Exit and realignment charges were $5.0 million and $14.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Current year charges were associated with severance from reduction in force and other employee costs associated with the establishment of our new client engagement centers, the write-down of information system assets which are no longer used and other IT restructuring charges. Expenses associated with the establishment of the client engagement center will continue to be recorded throughout 2017. Exit and realignment charges were $2.1 million and $19.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. These included severance activities (including our voluntary employee separation program in the first quarter of 2016), and other costs associated with our strategic organizational realignment which include certain professional fees and costs to streamline administrative functions and processes in the United States and Europe. More information about these charges is provided in Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report.

(2) Acquisition-related intangible amortization includes amortization of certain intangible assets established during purchase accounting for business combinations. These amounts are highly dependent on the size and frequency of acquisitions and are being excluded to allow for a more consistent comparison with forecasted, current and historical results and the results of our peers. We have begun to exclude these charges from our non-GAAP results in the second quarter of 2017 and thus prior year amounts have been recast on the same basis.

(3) Includes software as a service (SaaS) implementation costs associated with the upgrading of our global IT platforms in connection with the redesign of our global information system strategy.

(4) 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.

Net revenue	$	6,928,441		$	7,355,069		$	(426,628	)	(5.8	)%

Consolidated net revenue declined for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily as a result the exit of a large domestic customer in 2016, lower growth with existing domestic customers and one less sales day compared to prior year. Byram contributed $80.3 million in revenue to the Domestic segment for the quarter and year to date. The

increase in the International segment was driven by growth with existing customers and new business as well as a favorable foreign currency translation impact of $2.8 million for the quarter but offset by an unfavorable impact of $12.4 million year to date. A decrease in sales of our sourced products contributed to the year over year change in the Proprietary Products segment.

Cost of goods sold	$	6,071,787	$	6,462,739	$	(390,952	)	(6.0	)%

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 referred to as distribution, including products sold through Byram, or buy/sell contracts. Cost of goods sold also includes direct and certain indirect labor, material and overhead costs associated with our Proprietary Products business. There is no cost of goods sold associated with our fee-for-service business. As a result of the decrease in sales activity through our distribution business, cost of goods sold decreased from prior year by $87.3 million and $391.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

Gross margin.

As a % of net revenue	12.36		%	12.13		%

Gross margin for the quarter included positive contribution from Byram and a change in revenue mix offset by the impact of overall lower revenues, a decline in provider margin and lower income from manufacturer product price changes (on a year to date basis). The impact of foreign currency translation was favorable for the quarter by $2.3 million and unfavorable by $6.1 million for the year to date. With increasing customer cost pressures and competitive dynamics in healthcare, we believe the current trend of increased gross margin pressure will continue.

Operating expenses.

Other operating (income) expense, net	$	2,143		$	(5,179	)	$	7,322	(141.4	)%

Distribution, selling and administrative (DS&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 DS&A expenses and include costs to store, move, and prepare products for shipment, as well as costs to deliver products to customers. The costs to convert new customers to our information systems are included in DS&A and are generally incurred prior to the recognition of revenues from the new customers.

Excluding Byram, DS&A as a percentage of revenue was 10.55% and 10.40% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Overall expenses reflected decreased sales activity in the quarter and year to date, benefits of cost control and productivity initiatives, and a favorable foreign currency translation impact of $6.2 million year to date. These were offset in part by increased costs to support new business and unfavorable foreign currency translation impacts of $2.3 million in the quarter. As a percentage of net revenue, the increases related to the large customer loss in 2016.

The changes in other operating (income) expense, net were attributed primarily to software as a service implementation expenses which were not incurred in 2016.

A discussion of the acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges is included above in the Overview section.

The increase in interest expense and change in effective interest rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were a result of the borrowings under our new Credit Agreement entered in July 2017.

Income taxes.

Income tax provision	$	10,063		$	16,967		$	(6,904	)	(40.7	)%

Income tax provision	$	26,010		$	48,585		$	(22,575	)	(46.5	)%
Effective tax rate	34.3		%	37.3		%

The changes in the effective tax rate compared to 2016 resulted primarily from a change in income mix among different tax rate jurisdictions and the effect of certain acquisition-related costs which were not deductible for tax purposes offset on a year to date basis by the release of an income tax valuation allowance in Europe for $3.4 million during the second quarter of 2017.

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 $25 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. Changes in shipping terms with certain of our suppliers have contributed to increased inventory and accounts payable and had an unfavorable impact on inventory turnover.

Liquidity and capital expenditures. The following table summarizes our consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:



(Dollars in thousands)	2017			2016
Net cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities	$	5,645		$	144,511
Investing activities	(403,578		)	(16,266		)
Financing activities	305,723			(82,821		)
Effect of exchange rate changes	5,137			6,652
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(87,073	)	$	52,076

Cash provided by operating activities was $5.6 million in the first nine months of 2017, compared to $144.5 million in the same period of 2016. The decrease in cash from operating activities for the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 was primarily due to unfavorable changes in working capital including inventory and accounts receivable balances.

Cash used for investing activities was $403.6 million in the first nine months of 2017, compared to $16.3 million in the same period of 2016. Investing activities in 2017 and 2016 related 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 investing activities in 2017 also includes the acquisition of Byram Healthcare for $367 million.

Cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2017 was $305.7 million, compared to cash used of $82.8 million in the same period of 2016. During the first nine months of 2017, we paid dividends of $47.3 million (compared to $47.8 million in 2016), repurchased common stock under a share repurchase program for $5.0 million (compared to $48.7 million in 2016) and borrowed on our new Credit Agreement ($250 million term loan and $117.2 million on our revolving credit facility). There were no borrowings in the prior year period.

Capital resources. Our sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents and a revolving credit facility. On July 27, 2017, we entered into a new Credit Agreement replacing the Amended Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and a syndicate of financial institutions (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides borrowing capacity of $600 million and a $250 million term loan. We make principal payments under the term loan on a quarterly basis with the remaining outstanding principal due in five years. The revolving credit facility has a five-year maturity. Under the 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 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 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 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, 2017, the interest rate under the credit facility is LIBOR plus 1.375%.

At September 30, 2017, we had borrowings of $117.2 million and letters of credit of approximately $5.1 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, leaving $477.7 million available for borrowing. We also have a $1.3 million letter of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 which supports our facilities leased in Europe.

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”). 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 amount with an effective yield of 4.422%. Interest on the 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes is payable semiannually in arrears, which commenced 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 2017, we paid cash dividends on our outstanding common stock at the rate of $0.2575 per share, which represents a 1.0% increase over the rate of $0.255 per share paid in the third quarter of 2016. 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 October 2016, 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 December 2019. The program is intended to offset shares issued in conjunction with our stock incentive plan and return capital to shareholders, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the first nine months of 2017, we repurchased approximately 0.2 million shares for $5.0 million under this program. At September 30, 2017, the remaining amount authorized for repurchase under this program was $94.0 million.

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 $60.7 million and $82.1 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. 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 Credit Agreement and other committed financing, 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 $117.2 million in outstanding borrowings and approximately $5.1 million in letters of credit under the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2017. 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 has included entering into leases for trucks with improved fuel efficiency. 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 $2.58 per gallon in the first nine months of 2017, a increase from $2.25 per gallon in the first nine months of 2016. Based on our fuel consumption in the first nine months of 2017, 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, 2017. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, 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 year of an acquisition. In the third quarter of 2017, we acquired Byram Healthcare. This acquisition represented $477 million of total assets and $80.3 million of revenues as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2017. 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, 2016. Through September 30, 2017, 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, 2016. Through September 30, 2017, we have added the following risk factors. There have been no other material changes in the risk factors described in such Annual Report.

Table of Contents

We are subject to stringent regulatory and licensing requirements

We are required to comply with extensive and complex laws and regulations at the federal, state and local government levels. Among these laws are the federal Anti-kickback Statute, the federal Stark Law, the False Claims Act and similar state laws relating to healthcare fraud and abuse. The requirements of these laws are complex and subject to varying interpretations, and it is possible that regulatory authorities could challenge our policies and practices. If we fail to comply with these laws, we could be subject to federal or state government investigations or qui tam actions (false claims cases initiated by private parties purporting to act on behalf of federal or state governments), which could result in civil or criminal sanctions, including the loss of licenses or the ability to participate in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs. Such sanctions and damages could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our Byram business is a Medicare-certified supplier and participates in state Medicaid programs. Failure to comply with applicable standards and regulations could result in civil or criminal sanctions, including the loss of our ability to participate in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs.

We collect, handle and maintain patient-identifiable health information and other sensitive personal and financial information, which are subject to federal, state and foreign laws that regulate the use and disclosure of such information. Regulations currently in place continue to evolve, and new laws in this area could further restrict our ability to collect, handle and maintain personal or patient information, or could require us to incur additional compliance costs, either of which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. Violations of federal, state or foreign laws concerning privacy and data protection could subject us to civil or criminal penalties, breach of contract claims, costs for remediation and harm to our reputation.

Compliance with the terms and conditions of Byram’s Corporate Integrity Agreement requires significant resources and, if we fail to comply, we could be subject to penalties or excluded from participation in government healthcare programs, which could seriously harm our results of operations, liquidity and financial results.

Prior to its acquisition by Owens & Minor, Byram entered into a five-year Corporate Integrity Agreement beginning April 2016 with the Office of Inspector General of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”). The Corporate Integrity Agreement provides that Byram shall, among other things, establish and maintain a compliance program, including a corporate compliance officer and committee, a code of conduct, comprehensive compliance policies and procedures, training and monitoring, a review process for certain arrangements between Byram and referral sources, a compliance hotline, an open door policy and a disciplinary process for compliance violations. The Corporate Integrity Agreement further provides that Byram shall provide periodic reports to the OIG, complete certain regular certifications and engage an Independent Review Organization to perform reviews of certain arrangements between Byram and referral sources.

Failing to meet the Corporate Integrity Agreement obligations could have material adverse consequences for Byram including monetary penalties for each instance of non-compliance. In addition, in the event of an uncured material breach or deliberate violation of the Corporate Integrity Agreement, we could be excluded from participation in Federal healthcare programs, or other significant penalties, which could seriously harm our results of operations, liquidity and financial results.

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

In October 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100 million of the company’s outstanding common stock to be executed at the discretion of management over a three-year period. The timing of repurchases and the exact number of shares of common stock to be purchased will depend upon market conditions and other factors and 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. We did not repurchase any shares for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
