Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(in thousands, unless otherwise indicated)

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Owens & Minor, Inc. and the subsidiaries it controls (we, us, our or the Company) 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 Movianto business represents a component that met accounting requirements to be classified as discontinued operations and held for sale beginning December 31, 2019. In accordance with GAAP, the financial position and results of operations of the Movianto business are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. With the exception of Note 3, the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the continuing operations of Owens & Minor, Inc. See Note 3 for additional information regarding discontinued operations. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 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.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash includes cash and marketable securities with an original maturity or maturity at acquisition of three months or less. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are stated at cost. Nearly all of our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are held in cash depository accounts in major banks in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Cash that is held by a major bank and has restrictions on its availability to us is classified as restricted cash. Restricted cash represents $16.3 million held in an escrow account as of March 31, 2020 as required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in conjunction with the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) Advanced Program.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of those same amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. The restricted cash presented below is classified as non-current in Other assets, net within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.



	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Cash and cash equivalents	$	92,315	$	67,030
Restricted cash included in Other assets, net	16,315		16,261
Cash of discontinued operations	32,363		1,396
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	140,993	$	84,687

Note 2—Fair Value

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of restricted cash also approximates fair value due to its nature. The fair value of 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). See Note 6 for the fair value of debt. The fair value of interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows considering the risks involved, including non-performance risk, and using discount rates appropriate for the respective maturities. Observable Level 2 inputs are used to determine the present value of expected future cash flows. See Note 8 for the fair value of derivatives.

Note 3—Discontinued Operations

On January 16, 2020, we announced our intention to sell our European logistics business, Movianto, to EHDH Holding Group (EHDH), a privately held French company, for cash consideration of $133 million. The Company concluded that the Movianto business met the criteria for discontinued operations as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, as the intention to sell represented a strategic shift and the criteria for held-for-sale were met. Movianto was previously reported in the Global Solutions segment. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2020.

Accordingly, the results of operations from our Movianto business are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as “Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax” for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related assets and liabilities are classified as held-for-sale as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 in the accompanying balance sheets. We recognized a loss of $9.1 million and $32.1 million in connection with the classification of the related assets and liabilities as held-for-sale as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The following table summarizes the financial results of our discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

We have $233 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. We used $4.4 million of cash to repurchase $4.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes during the first quarter of 2020.

We have a Credit Agreement (amended February 2020) with a borrowing capacity of $400 million and $697 million outstanding in term loans. On February 13, 2020, we entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement.

The interest rate on our revolving credit facility and Term A loans is based on the Eurocurrency Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, plus an adjustment based on our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as defined by the Credit Agreement. Our credit spread at March 31, 2020 was Eurocurrency Rate plus 4.25%. Our Term B loan accrues interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, plus interest rate margin of 3.50% per annum with respect to Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and 4.50% per annum with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans (as defined in 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 requires us to maintain ratios for leverage and interest coverage, including on a pro forma basis in the event of an acquisition.

We also have a Security and Pledge Agreement (the Security Agreement) pursuant to which we granted collateral on behalf of the holders of the 2021 Notes and the 2024 Notes and parties secured on the Credit Agreement (the Secured Parties) including first priority liens and security interests in (a) all present and future shares of capital stock owned by the Credit Parties (as defined) in the Credit Parties’ present and future subsidiaries (limited, in the case of controlled foreign corporations, to a pledge of 100% of the voting capital stock of each first-tier foreign subsidiary of each Credit Party) and (b) all present and future personal property and assets of the Credit Parties, subject to certain exceptions. The Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement included additional collateral requirements related to the parties secured on the Credit Agreement, including the obligation to pledge the Company's owned U.S. real estate and remaining equity interests in foreign subsidiaries. Our Credit Agreement has a “springing maturity date” with respect to the revolving loans and the Term A loans and the Term B loans. If as of the date 91 days prior to the maturity date of our 2021 Notes all outstanding amounts under the 2021 Notes have not been paid in full, then the Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the revolving credit facility and the Term A loans shall be the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2021 Notes. Likewise, if as of the date 91 days prior to the maturity date of our 2024 Notes, all outstanding amounts under the 2024 Notes have not been paid in full, the Termination Date of the Term B loan shall be the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2024 Notes.

On February 19, 2020, we entered into an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Receivables Securitization Program”). Pursuant to the Receivables Securitization Program, the aggregate principal amount of the loans made by the Lenders (as defined) will not exceed $325 million outstanding at any time. The interest rate under the Receivables Securitization Program is based on a spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) dependent on the tranche period thereto and any breakage fees accrued. Under the Receivables Securitization Program, certain of our subsidiaries sell substantially all of their accounts receivable balances to our wholly owned special purpose entity, O&M Funding LLC. The Receivables Securitization Program matures on February 17, 2023. In February 2020, $150 million in proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable pursuant to the Receivables Securitization Program were used to repay higher interest indebtedness under our Term A loans.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had borrowings of $171.7 million and $177.9 million, respectively, under the revolver and letters of credit of $11.7 million and $11.7 million, respectively, outstanding under the Credit Agreement along with $508.1 million and $512.7 million, respectively, in Senior Notes. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $215.5 million and $209.3 million, respectively, available for borrowing, which reflected the letters of credit associated with discontinued operations of $1.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, against our borrowing capacity. We also had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding for $1.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which supports certain facilities leased as well as other normal business activities in the United States and 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 March 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2020, scheduled future principal payments of debt were $37.2 million in 2020, $282.8 million in 2021, $320.5 million in 2022, $155.0 million in 2023, $280.0 million in 2024, and $468.8 million thereafter.

Note 7—Retirement Plans

We have a noncontributory, unfunded retirement plan for certain retirees in the United States. Certain of our foreign subsidiaries also have defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all of their respective employees.

The components of net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were as follows:

Interest cost	494		600
Recognized net actuarial loss	214		260
Net periodic benefit cost	$	1,059	$	1,189

Note 8—Derivatives

We are directly and indirectly affected by changes in foreign currency, which may adversely impact our financial performance and are referred to as “market risks.” When deemed appropriate, we use derivatives as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

We enter into foreign currency contracts to manage our foreign exchange exposure related to certain balance sheet items that do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting. These derivative instruments are adjusted to fair value at the end of each period through earnings. The gain or loss recorded on these instruments is substantially offset by the remeasurement adjustment on the foreign currency denominated asset or liability.

We pay interest under our Credit Agreement which fluctuates based on changes in our benchmark interest rates. In order to mitigate the risk of increases in benchmark rates, we enter into interest rate swaps whereby we agree to exchange with the counterparty, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable amounts calculated by reference to the notional amount. The interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap agreements are included in interest expense.

We determine the fair value of our foreign currency derivatives and our interest rate swaps based on observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. We do not view the fair value of our derivatives in isolation, but rather in relation to the fair values or cash flows of the underlying exposure. Our derivatives are over-the-counter instruments with liquid markets. All derivatives are carried at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets in other assets and other liabilities. We consider the risk of counterparty default to be minimal. We report cash flows from our hedging instruments in the same cash flow statement category as the hedged items.

The following table summarizes the terms and fair value of our outstanding derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2020:



				Derivative Assets			Derivative Liabilities
	Notional Amount		Maturity Date	Classification	Fair Value		Classification	Fair Value
Cash flow hedges
Interest rate swaps	$	450,000	May 2022 and May 2025	Other assets, net	$	—	Other liabilities	$	33,136

The following table summarizes the effect of cash flow hedge accounting on our consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020:



	Amount of Gain/(Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Loss			Location of Gain/(Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss into Income	Total Amount of Income/(Expense) Line Items Presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in Which the Effects are Recorded			Amount of Gain/(Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss into Income
Interest rate swaps	$	(16,958	)	Interest expense, net	$	(23,342	)	$	(1,259	)

The amount of ineffectiveness associated with these contracts was immaterial for the periods presented.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized a loss of $2.7 million and a gain of $0.5 million, respectively, associated with our economic (non-designated) foreign currency contracts.

We recorded the change in fair value of derivative instruments and the remeasurement adjustment of the foreign currency denominated asset or liability in other operating (income) expense, net for our foreign exchange contracts.

Note 9—Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 48.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 5.8% in the same quarter of 2019. The change in these rates resulted from an income tax benefit of $5.2 million recorded in the first quarter of 2020 associated with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the mixture of income and losses in jurisdictions in which we operate, and the incremental income tax expense associated with the vesting of restricted stock. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $11.7 million at March 31, 2020 and $11.5 million at December 31, 2019. Included in the liability at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $3.1 million of tax positions for which ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.

We include amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss related to defined benefit pension plans as a component of net periodic pension cost. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we reclassified $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of actuarial net losses.

Note 12—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 two segments: Global Solutions and Global Products. The Global Solutions segment includes our United States distribution, outsourced logistics and value-added services business. Global Products manufactures and sources medical surgical products through our production and kitting operations.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on their operating income excluding intangible amortization, 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 and not meaningful. We believe all inter-segment sales are at prices that approximate market.

Note 13—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework— Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of such transfers. This ASU expands the disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements, primarily focused on changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income (loss). We adopted ASU No. 2018-13 effective beginning January 1, 2020. Its adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Internal-Use Software. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. We adopted ASU No. 2018-15 effective beginning January 1, 2020. Its adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. ASU No. 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Most amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments. The Standard is part of FASB’s ongoing project to improve and clarify its Accounting Standards Codification and avoid unintended application. The items addressed are not expected to significantly affect current practice or create a significant administrative cost for most entities. The amendment is divided into issues 1 to 7 with different effective dates as follows: The amendments related to Issue 1, Issue 2, Issue 4, and Issue 5 are conforming amendments. The amendments are effective upon issuance of this update. The amendment related to Issue 3 is a conforming amendment that affects the guidance related to the amendments in ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The effective date of this update for the amendments to ASU No. 2016-01 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments related to Issue 6 and Issue 7 affect the guidance in the amendments in ASU No. 2016-13, Financial 5 Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. For entities that have not yet adopted the amendments related to ASU No. 2016-13, the effective dates and the transition requirements for these amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in ASU No. 2016-13, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU No. 2020-03 effective beginning January 1, 2020 for Issues 1 through 5. Its adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance for Issues 6 and 7 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2020, the 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 GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

There have been no further changes in our significant accounting policies from those contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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, 2019. 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, 2019.

Overview

Owens & Minor, Inc., along with its subsidiaries, (we, us, or our) is a leading global healthcare solutions company. On January 16, 2020, we announced our intention to sell our European logistics business, Movianto, to EHDH Holding Group (EHDH), a privately held French company. The divestiture is intended to provide us with a greater ability to focus on and invest in our differentiated products, services and U.S. distribution businesses. See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Unless otherwise indicated, the following information relates to continuing operations.

Net loss per diluted share was $(0.15) for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $(0.18) for same period of 2019. Global Solutions segment operating income was $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $21.6 million for 2019. The declines were a result of lower revenues and continued pressure on distribution margins as compared to prior year. Global Products segment operating income was $18.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, largely reflecting an increase in revenues from higher market demand for personal protective equipment in the first quarter of 2020 compared to 2019.

COVID-19 Update

We are impacted by the global pandemic and related effects associated with the coronavirus (COVID-19). As a result, we updated our risk factors, which can be found in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this document.

We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our global business, including how it impacts our customers, teammates, suppliers, vendors and distribution channels. We have taken actions to protect our teammates while maintaining business continuity as we respond to the needs from this global pandemic. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our teammates, customers, suppliers and shareholders.

Revenue in the first quarter of 2020 of $2.1 billion includes a nominal overall impact from COVID-19 as a greater demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) during the quarter, was partially offset by reduced surgical procedures beginning in mid-March.

We are evaluating various government-sponsored COVID-response stimulus, relief, and productions initiatives such as under the Defense Production Act (DPA) and recent Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. In April 2020, under the DPA, the U.S. Department of Defense initiated a technology investment agreement with us involving up to $30 million of anticipated funding of assets to expand capacity to supply N-95 respirator masks to the U.S. government. The nature of the agreement provides a program of expedited partial funding to begin expansion while final terms are completed. In addition, as allowed under the CARES Act, we have filed for a $13 million income tax refund with the IRS related to the carryback of net operating losses (NOL) incurred in 2018. This refund was included in other current assets on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2020. In connection with this NOL carryback, we recorded a $5.2 million benefit to the income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This benefit was considered a non-GAAP item, and excluded from adjusted income from continuing operations.

We are unable to predict with certainty the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our financial position and operating results due to numerous variables.

Results of Operations

Net revenue.



	Three Months Ended March 31,						Change
(Dollars in thousands)	2020			2019			$			%
Global Solutions	$	1,847,593		$	2,123,599		$	(276,006	)	(13.0	)%
Global Products	391,192			347,085			44,107			12.7	%

Net revenue	$	2,122,693		$	2,350,840		$	(228,147	)	(9.7	)%

The change in net revenue for the quarter reflected the impact of lower distribution revenues as a result of customer non-renewals that occurred in 2019 and a reduction in elective surgical procedures, primarily due to the impact of COVID-19, which we expect to continue through the second quarter. These were partially offset by revenue growth in Global Products from increased demand for personal protective equipment. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact on Net revenue of $2.1 million compared to prior year.

Cost of goods sold.



	Three Months Ended March 31,			Change

Cost of goods sold	$	1,854,134	2,074,219	$	(220,085	)	(10.6	)%

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 and bear risk of general and physical inventory loss. These are sometimes referred to as distribution contracts. Cost of goods sold also includes direct and certain indirect labor, material and overhead costs associated with our Global Products business. There is no cost of goods sold associated with our fee-for-service arrangements. Cost of goods sold compared to prior year reflects changes in sales activity, including sales mix.

Gross margin in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was impacted by lower distribution revenues and unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of $3.3 million. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of revenue reflected strong revenue growth from an overall improved sales mix, as the Global Products revenues constitute a higher percentage of revenue.

Operating expenses.

Other operating (income) expense, net	$	(2,309	)	$	42		$	(2,351	)	(5,597.6	)%

Distribution, selling and administrative (DS&A) expenses include labor and warehousing costs associated with our distribution and outsourced logistics services and all costs associated with our fee-for-service arrangements. Shipping and handling costs are primarily 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.

Table of Contents

Overall DS&A expenses were affected by changes in sales mix and investments in the business, partially offset by operational efficiencies. DS&A expenses also included favorable impacts for foreign currency translation of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Acquisition-related charges were $4.2 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and consisted primarily of transition costs for the Halyard acquisition. Exit and realignment charges were $1.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Exit and realignment charges in the first quarter of 2020 were associated with severance from reduction in force and other costs related to the reorganization of the U.S. commercial, operations and executive teams. Exit and realignment charges in the first quarter of 2019 were associated with severance from reduction in force and other employee costs associated with the establishment of our client engagement center and other IT restructuring charges.

The change in other operating (income) expense, net was attributed primarily to higher foreign currency transaction gains in the quarter compared to prior year and lower software as a service implementation expenses due to the adoption of ASU No. 2018-15 as of January 1, 2020. See Note 13 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest expense, net.

Interest expense, net	$	23,342		$	25,458		$	(2,116	)	(8.3	)%
Effective interest rate	7.17		%	6.30		%

Interest expense decreased year over year primarily due to a reduction in debt, which was partially offset by an increase in our effective interest rate and the amortization of additional deferred financing costs as a result of the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement in February 2020. See Note 6 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other expense, net	$	4,846	$	2,734	$	2,112	77.2	%

Other expense, net in 2020 includes the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the paydown of our Term A loans of $2.1 million and third party fees incurred as a result of the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement in February 2020 of $2.2 million, which was offset by a gain on extinguishment of debt related to the partial repurchase of our 2021 Notes in March 2020 of $0.2 million, and interest cost and net actuarial losses related to the U.S. Retirement Plan of $0.7 million. Other expense, net in 2019 includes the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the revolving credit facility as a result of the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement in February 2019 of $2.0 million and interest cost and net actuarial losses related to the U.S. Retirement Plan of $0.7 million.

Effective tax rate	48.9		%	5.8		%

The change in the effective tax rates compared to 2019 resulted from an income tax benefit of $5.2 million recorded in the first quarter of 2020 associated with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the mixture of income and losses in jurisdictions in which we operate, and the incremental income tax expense associated with the vesting of restricted stock.

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 $23 million.

The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are held in cash depository accounts with major banks in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Changes in our working capital can vary in the normal course of business based upon the timing of inventory purchases, collections of accounts receivable, and payments to suppliers.

Liquidity and capital expenditures. The following table summarizes our consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, which relates to continuing operations and discontinued operations:



(Dollars in thousands)	2020			2019
Net cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities	$	93,454		$	(60,904	)
Investing activities	(5,680		)	(14,008		)
Financing activities	(31,406		)	49,505
Effect of exchange rate changes	(62		)	(2,721		)
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	56,306		$	(28,128	)

Cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of 2020 reflected fluctuations in net income along with unfavorable changes in working capital.

Cash used for investing activities in the first three months of 2020 included capital expenditures of $5.7 million for our strategic and operational efficiency initiatives associated with property and equipment, investments for increased manufacturing capacity in the Americas, and capitalized software. Cash used for investing activities in 2019 included capital expenditures for our strategic and operational efficiency initiatives associated with property and equipment and capitalized software.

Cash used for financing activities in the first three months of 2020 included dividend payments of $0.2 million and repayments of $6.2 million under our revolving credit facility, compared to dividend payments of $4.8 million and proceeds from borrowings of $72.1 million for the same period of 2019. We also had proceeds from borrowings of $150.0 million related to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Financing activities also included repayments of $166.8 million in the first three months of 2020 compared to $12.4 million in the same period of 2019 on our term loans (under the Credit Agreement) and 2021 Notes. We used $4.4 million of cash to repurchase $4.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes during the first quarter of 2020. We also paid $5.8 million in financing costs related to the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement in February 2020 and $4.3 million in financing costs related to the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement in February 2019.

Capital resources. Our sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents and a revolving credit facility under our 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 a borrowing capacity of $400 million and $697 million outstanding in term loans. The interest rate on our revolving credit facility and Term A loans is based on the Eurocurrency Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, plus an adjustment based on our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as defined by the Credit Agreement. Our credit spread at March 31, 2020 was Eurocurrency Rate plus 4.25%. Our Term B loan accrues interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, plus interest rate margin of 3.50% per annum with respect to Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and 4.50% per annum with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans (as defined in 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 requires us to maintain ratios for leverage and interest coverage, including on a pro forma basis in the event of an acquisition.

From time to time, we may enter into transactions to repay, repurchase or redeem our outstanding indebtedness (including by means of open market purchases, privately negotiated repurchases, tender or exchange offers and/or repayments or redemptions pursuant to the debt’s terms). Our ability to consummate any such transaction will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. We cannot provide any assurance as to if or when we will consummate any such transactions or the terms of any such transaction.

The first quarter dividend of $0.0025 per share was paid in March 2020. 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, current and future limitations under our Credit Agreement (as amended) and other factors.

We believe available financing sources, including cash generated by operating activities and borrowings under the Credit Agreement, 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 and debt 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.

We earn a portion of our operating income in foreign jurisdictions outside the United States. Our cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries totaled $71.7 million and $52.9 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. We continue to remain permanently reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of a subsidiary in Thailand. We have no specific plans to indefinitely reinvest the unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiary located in Thailand as of March 31, 2020. As such, we have recorded withholding tax liabilities that would be incurred upon future distribution to the U.S. There are no unrecognized deferred taxes as there is no outside basis difference unrelated to unremitted earnings for Thailand. We will continue to evaluate our foreign earnings repatriation policy in 2020 for all our foreign subsidiaries.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to price risk for our raw materials, the most significant of which relates to the cost of polypropylene and nitrile used in the manufacturing processes of our Global Products segment. Prices of the commodities underlying these raw materials are volatile and have fluctuated significantly in recent years and in the future may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations. The ability to hedge these commodity prices is limited.

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, British pound and Thai baht. We may use foreign currency forwards, swaps and options, where possible, to manage our risk related to certain foreign currency fluctuations.

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates related to our borrowing under our Credit Agreement. However, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate changes. We had $697 million in borrowings under our term loans, $172 million in borrowings under our revolving credit facility, $147 million in borrowings under our accounts receivable securitization program, and $12 million in letters of credit under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2020. After considering the effects of interest rate swap agreements outstanding as of March 31, 2020, we estimate an increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would result in a potential reduction in future pre-tax earnings of approximately $6 million per year based on our borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2020.

Due to the nature and pricing of our Global Solutions 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 using 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 $2.88 and $3.02 per gallon in the first three months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Based on our fuel consumption in the first three months of 2020, we estimate that every 10 cents per gallon increase in the benchmark would reduce our Global Solutions segment operating income by approximately $0.2 million on an annualized basis.

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 March 31, 2020. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period of this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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, 2019. Through March 31, 2020, there have been no material developments in any legal proceedings reported in such Annual Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following description of risk factors includes any material changes to, and supersedes the description of, risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the 2019 Form 10-K, under the heading “Risk Factors.” Set forth below is a certain risk factor that we currently believe could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. This risk factor is in addition to those mentioned in other parts of this report and are not all of the risks that we face. We could also be affected by risks that we currently are not aware of or that we currently do not consider material to our business.

We are subject to risks related to public health crises such as the global pandemic associated with the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

As a global healthcare solutions company, we are impacted by public health crises such as the global pandemic associated with COVID-19. The outbreak has significantly increased uncertainty and unpredictability of global economic conditions and the demand for and supply of raw materials and finished goods required for our operations. In addition, public and private sector policies and initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as the imposition of travel restrictions

Table of Contents

and the adoption of remote working, have impacted our operations. In these challenging and dynamic circumstances, we are working to protect our employees and the public, maintain business continuity and sustain our operations, including ensuring the safety and protection of the people who work in our production and distribution centers across the world, many of whom support the manufacturing and delivery of products that are critical in response to the global pandemic. We may restrict the operations of our production and distribution centers if we deem it necessary or if recommended or mandated by governmental authorities which would have an adverse impact on us. There is a risk that revenues will decrease ultimately resulting in less cash flow, we may see longer duration in receivables collection, and the need to expedite payments to important suppliers may grow. COVID-19 may impact our supply chains relative to global demand for our facial protection and protective apparel products. COVID-19 may also affect the ability of suppliers and vendors to provide products and services to us. Some of these factors could increase the demand for our products, while others could decrease demand or make it more difficult for us to serve customers. Furthermore, COVID-19 has impacted and may further impact the broader economies of affected countries, including negatively impacting economic growth, the proper functioning of financial and capital markets, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. For example, in recent weeks, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which increases the cost of capital and adversely impacts access to capital. Due to the speed with which the situation is developing and the uncertainty of its duration and the timing of recovery, we are not able at this time to predict the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may have a material effect on our financial or operational results, but the following adverse risks exist:

•

Actions by the United States government or other foreign government could affect our business. These actions include purchasing products that we make or sell, imposing new product standards or allowing the use of alternative products, instituting regulatory requirements to purchase only locally manufactured products, exercising control over manufacturing or distribution operations, taking trade actions including the imposition or removal of tariffs or import / export controls, subsidizing the supply of products, or other actions;


•	Quarantine decisions by public or private entities may influence our ability to operate or our ability to ship or receive products. For example, if shipping companies cease or reduce land or sea freight channels, raw material and finished good deliveries may be slowed or stopped;


•	Our customers may change their payment patterns or lose their ability to pay invoices, which could have a material adverse impact on our cash flow;


•	Our suppliers may increase pricing or impose new purchasing requirements, such as minimum purchase quantities or pay-in-advance payment terms, which could have a material adverse impact on our cash flow;


•	Raw materials or finished goods that we require for our operations may not be available, or pricing for such items may increase beyond the willingness of our customers to pay;


•	New competitors may enter our market, including both small and large scale suppliers;


•	COVID-19 illness among our workers in manufacturing or distribution operations could impact our operations or compel the closure of one or more facilities for an unknown period of time. Labor relations in our facilities related to COVID-19 could also negatively impact our operations;


•	We may invest in additional manufacturing capacity for which demand slows in the future, which could have a material adverse impact on our cash flow; and


•	Technology infrastructure failures could materially inhibit our operations that currently include a substantial portion of remote work. For example, voice or data line failures resulting from natural, manmade or cyber-attack could impair our ability to operate.

We have incurred additional costs to ensure we meet the needs of our customers, including increasing our workforce in order to produce or distribute certain essential products for our customers, providing personal protective equipment to our workforce, incremental shipping and transportation costs, incremental technology costs, and additional cleaning costs throughout our facilities. We expect to continue to incur additional costs, which may be significant as we continue to implement operational changes in response to this pandemic. Further, our management is focused on mitigating COVID-19, which has required and will continue to require, a large investment of time and resources across our enterprise and will delay other value added services and strategic initiatives. Additionally, currently some of our teammates are working remotely. An extended period of remote work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. If we do not respond appropriately to the pandemic, or if customers do not perceive our response to be adequate for the United States or our international markets, we could suffer damage to our reputation and our brands, which could adversely affect our business.

The impact of COVID-19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, any of which could have a material effect on us. This situation is changing rapidly and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.
