Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share data, 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, 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 Movianto business represented a component that met accounting requirements to be classified as discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In accordance with GAAP, the results of operations of the Movianto business are presented as discontinued operations through June 18, 2020 (the Divestiture Date) and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. With the exception of Note 3, the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the continuing operations of Owens & Minor, Inc. and its subsidiaries. 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 included in Other assets, net as of September 30, 2021 represents cash held in an escrow account as required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in conjunction with the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) initiatives.

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.


	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	39,759	$	83,058
Restricted cash included in Other current assets	—		35,126
Restricted cash included in Other assets, net	16,323		16,322
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	56,082	$	134,506

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 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 June 18, 2020, we completed the divestiture of our European logistics business, Movianto (the Divestiture), as well as certain support functions in our Dublin office, to Walden Group SAS (the Buyer) and EHDH (as Buyer’s guarantor) for cash consideration of $133 million. We concluded that the Movianto business met the criteria for discontinued operations through the Divestiture Date, 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.

Accordingly, the results of operations from the Movianto business are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The following table summarizes the financial results of our discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020:


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2020		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020
Net revenue	$	—	$	226,759
Cost of goods sold	—		53,923
Gross margin	—		172,836
Distribution, selling, and administrative expenses	—		157,512
Loss on divestiture	—		65,472
Acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges	—		4,825
Other operating income, net	—		(388)
Operating loss	—		(54,585)
Interest expense, net	—		3,144
Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes	—		(57,729)
Income tax provision from discontinued operations	—		474
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	—	$	(58,203)

We suspended depreciation and amortization on assets that are held-for-sale, including right-of-use assets recorded in accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

No revenue or expense have been recorded in discontinued operations related to the disposal group subsequent to the Divestiture Date.

We have entered into transition services agreements with a subsidiary of the Buyer, pursuant to which we and a subsidiary of the Buyer will provide to each other various transitional services. Certain transition service arrangement costs and reimbursements were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and were immaterial for the periods presented. These arrangements were substantially completed as of September 30, 2021.

We had no assets and liabilities of the discontinued Movianto business reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The following table provides operating and investing cash flow information for our discontinued operations:


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $10.0 million and $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and $30.1 million and $31.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Based on the current carrying value of intangible assets subject to amortization, estimated amortization expense is approximately $10 million for the remainder of 2021, $39 million for 2022, $39 million for 2023, $34 million for 2024, $28 million for 2025 and $27 million for 2026.

Note 5—Exit and Realignment Costs

We periodically incur exit and realignment and other charges associated with optimizing our operations which includes the consolidation of certain distribution and outsourced logistics centers, administrative offices and warehouses, our client engagement center and IT restructuring charges. These charges also include costs associated with our strategic organizational realignment which include leadership reorganization costs, certain professional fees, and costs to streamline administrative functions and processes and divestiture related costs.

Exit and realignment charges by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:


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

In addition to the exit and realignment accruals in the preceding table, we also incurred $1.6 million and $11.6 million of costs that were expensed as incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, which primarily includes $1.5 million and $9.6 million of wind-down costs related to Fusion5 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

There were no acquisition-related charges included within acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges presented in our consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Acquisition-related charges within acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges presented in our consolidated statements of operations were $0.8 million and $8.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, which consisted primarily of transition costs for the Halyard acquisition.

We may incur additional charges in 2021 for wind-down costs related to Fusion5.

We have $246 million, excluding deferred financing costs and third party fees, of 4.375% senior notes due in 2024 (the 2024 Notes), with interest payable semi-annually. The 2024 Notes were sold at 99.6% of the principal amount with an effective yield of 4.422%. We have the option to redeem the 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 applicable Benchmark Treasury Rate (as defined) plus 30 basis points.

In March 2021, we issued $500 million, excluding deferred financing costs and third party fees, of 4.500% senior unsecured notes due in 2029 (the 2029 Unsecured Notes), with interest payable semi-annually (the Notes Offering). The 2029 Unsecured Notes were sold at 100% of the principal amount with an effective yield of 4.500%. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to repay our Term B Loan and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In connection with these repayments, we recorded $15.3 million in write-offs of deferred financing costs and third party fees within loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. No write-offs of deferred financing costs and third party fees were recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2021. We may redeem all or part of the 2029 Unsecured Notes prior to March 31, 2024, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Unsecured Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a “make-whole” premium, as described in the Indenture dated March 10, 2021 (the Indenture). On or after March 31, 2024, we may redeem all or part of the 2029 Unsecured Notes at the applicable redemption prices described in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. We may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Unsecured Notes at any time prior to March 31, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 104.5% with an amount equal to or less than the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

On March 10, 2021, we terminated our then existing credit agreement and all obligations thereunder were repaid. On that same date, we entered into a new credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. and a syndicate of lenders (the Credit Agreement) with a $300 million revolving credit facility. The interest rate on our revolving credit facility is based on a spread over a benchmark rate (as described in the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement matures in March 2026.

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had borrowings of $12.3 million and $103 million and letters of credit of $9.4 million and $13.9 million outstanding under our revolving credit facilities. At September 30, 2021 and December

Table of Contents

31, 2020, we had $278 million and $283 million available for borrowing. We also had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding for $2.2 million and $1.6 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, which supports certain leased facilities as well as other normal business activities in the United States and Europe. These letters of credit and guarantees were issued outside of the revolving credit facility.

We entered into a Security and Pledge Agreement (the Security Agreement), dated March 10, 2021, pursuant to which we granted collateral on behalf of the holders of the 2024 Notes, and the parties secured under 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, subject to certain customary exceptions, and (b) all present and future personal property and assets of the Credit Parties, subject to certain exceptions.

On March 10, 2021, we entered into an amendment to our accounts receivable securitization program (the Receivables Securitization Program). Pursuant to the amended Receivables Securitization Program, the aggregate principal amount of the loans made by the Lenders (as defined) will not exceed $450 million outstanding at any time. The interest rate under the Receivables Securitization Program is based on a spread over a benchmark rate (as described in the Third Amendment to the Receivables Financing Agreement). 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 in March 2024.

The Credit Agreement, Receivables Securitization Program, 2024 Notes and 2029 Unsecured Notes contain cross-default provisions which could result in the acceleration of payments due in the event of default of any of the related agreements. The terms of the Credit Agreement also require us to maintain ratios for leverage and interest coverage, including on a pro forma basis in the event of an acquisition or divestiture. We were in compliance with our debt covenants at September 30, 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, scheduled future principal payments of debt, excluding finance leases and other, were $446 million in 2024, $12.3 million in 2026, and $500 million in 2029. Current maturities at September 30, 2021 include $1.6 million in current portion of finance leases.

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 teammates.

The components of net periodic benefit cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Service cost	$	693	$	362	$	2,106	$	1,073

Net periodic benefit cost	$	1,489	$	1,074	$	4,503	$	3,203

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 determine the fair value of our foreign currency derivatives 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. All derivatives are carried at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets in other current assets and other current 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.

In March 2021, we terminated the remaining $300 million in notional value of interest rate swaps concurrent with the debt financing transaction. In September 2020, we terminated $150 million in notional value of interest rate swaps. The remaining balance of the fair value adjustments of $25.1 million, which related to these terminated interest rate swaps, within Accumulated other comprehensive loss was reclassified to Loss on extinguishment of debt within our consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

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

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 we recognized losses of $0.9 million and $2.5 million associated with our economic (non-designated) foreign currency contracts. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 we recognized losses of $0.9 million and $2.3 million 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, net for our foreign exchange contracts.

Note 9—Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 12.6% and 20.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 13.8% and 9.4% in the same periods of 2020. The change in these rates resulted primarily from an income tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2020 associated with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and in the third quarter of 2021 associated with the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the mixture of income and losses in jurisdictions in which we operate, and the incremental income tax benefit associated with the vesting of restricted stock. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $23.0 million at September 30, 2021 and $20.8 million at December 31, 2020. Included in the liability at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $2.7 million of tax positions for which ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.

On August 26, 2020, we received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (NOPA) from the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) regarding our 2015 and 2016 consolidated income tax returns. On June 30, 2021, we received a NOPA from the IRS regarding our 2017 and 2018 consolidated income tax returns. Within the NOPAs, the IRS has asserted that our taxable income for the aforementioned years should be higher based on their assessment of the appropriate amount of taxable income that we should report in the United States in connection with our sourcing of products by our foreign subsidiaries for sale in the United States by our domestic subsidiaries. Our amount of taxable income in the United States is based on our transfer pricing methodology, which has been consistently applied through the current date. We strongly disagree with the IRS position and will pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies, including those available under the U.S. - Ireland Income Tax Treaty to alleviate double taxation. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from examinations such as this to determine the adequacy of our tax reserves. We believe that we have adequately reserved for this matter and that the final adjudication of this matter will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the ultimate outcome of disputes of this nature is uncertain, and if the IRS were to prevail on its assertions, the additional tax, interest, and any potential penalties could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 11—Shareholders' Equity

In May 2020, we entered into an equity distribution agreement, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities offered by this program for the repayment of indebtedness and/or for general corporate and working capital purposes. As of September 30, 2021, no shares were issued and $50.0 million of common stock remained available under the at-the-market equity financing program.

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 two segments: Global Solutions and Global Products. The Global Solutions segment includes our United States distribution businesses (Medical Distribution and Patient Direct), 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 and acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges 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.

The following tables present financial information by segment:

Note 14—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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. 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 adopted ASU No. 2019-12 effective beginning January 1, 2021. Its adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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. Our current debt agreements contemplate a transition from LIBOR to another benchmark rate in the event that LIBOR ceases to exist. We do not expect the transition to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-10, Codification Improvements, to improve consistency by amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) to include all disclosure guidance in the appropriate disclosure sections. This ASU also clarifies application of various provisions in the Codification by amending and adding new headings, cross referencing to other guidance, and refining or correcting terminology. The amendments in this ASU do not change GAAP and, therefore, are not expected to result in a significant change in practice. We adopted ASU No. 2020-10 effective beginning January 1, 2021. Its adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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, 2020.

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, 2020. 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, 2020.

Overview

Owens & Minor, Inc., along with its subsidiaries, (we, us, or our) is a leading global healthcare solutions company. On June 18, 2020 (the Divestiture Date), we completed the divestiture of our European logistics business, Movianto (the Divestiture), as well as certain support functions in our Dublin, Ireland office, to Walden Group SAS (the Buyer) and EHDH (as Buyer’s guarantor) for cash consideration of $133 million. The Divestiture provides us with a greater ability to focus on and invest in our differentiated products, services and U.S. distribution businesses.

As a result of the Divestiture, the results of operations from our Movianto business are reported as “Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax” for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. 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.

Income from continuing operations per diluted share was $0.58 and $2.38 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $0.76 and $0.61 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Global Solutions segment operating income was $20.4 million and $47.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $11.0 million and $8.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. These increases were a

result of strong revenue growth, leveraging our fixed costs, and operating efficiencies. Global Products segment operating income was $51.3 million and $310 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $89.9 million and $160 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily the result of the timing of glove cost pass-through, accelerating inflationary pressures, including commodities, transportation, and labor, partially offset by revenue growth. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was a result of higher personal protective equipment (PPE) sales, favorable timing of cost pass-through on gloves, productivity initiatives, favorable product mix, and improved fixed cost leverage, partially offset by higher commodity prices and rising transportation costs, compared to the prior year.

COVID-19 Update

We are closely monitoring the impact of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19), including the related Delta variant, on all aspects of our 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 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $7.3 billion continues to be impacted by COVID-19 and includes the effective response to the ongoing recovery of elective procedures, higher sales of PPE, and pass-through of elevated glove costs. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 also benefited from improved productivity and increased manufacturing output related to PPE, favorable product mix and operating efficiencies. In 2020, we expanded our PPE production operations and have taken measures to increase and improve our production such as retooling existing equipment, installing and optimizing new production lines and ramping up our new non-woven fabric machinery. We expect that we will continue servicing our customers' needs related to the heightened demand for our PPE as a result of various factors, including the implementation of new regulations and healthcare protocols calling for increased use of PPE, healthcare professional preference for medical grade PPE, stockpile PPE demand and the creation of new channels for PPE demand in healthcare, non-healthcare and international markets.

In March 2020, under the Defense Production Act (DPA), we were awarded a contract with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to produce N-95 respirator masks in an effort to replenish the Strategic National Stockpile. In April 2020, also under the DPA, the U.S. Department of Defense initiated a technology investment agreement with us involving up to $30.0 million of anticipated funding of assets to expand capacity to supply N-95 respirator masks. Through September 30, 2021, substantially all of the anticipated funding had been expended and reimbursed in accordance with this arrangement.

We are unable to predict the timing of the pandemic and the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our future operating results, financial position and cash flows due to numerous variables and continued uncertainties. Travel, transportation, and business operation restrictions arising from virus containment efforts of governments around the world have continued to impact our operations in certain locations, including within Asia. Essential activity exceptions from these restrictions have allowed us to continue to operate but virus containment efforts have resulted in additional direct costs from supply chain challenges. Although we have experienced growth in sales volumes for certain of our products (such as PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as improved productivity and manufacturing output, there can be no assurance that such growth rates, increased sales volumes or other improvements will be maintained during or following the COVID-19 pandemic.

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. Overall DS&A expenses were affected by revenue growth, changes in incentive compensation, teammate benefits, accelerating inflationary pressures, and operational efficiencies for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, overall DS&A expenses were affected by charitable contributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. DS&A expenses also included an unfavorable impact for foreign currency translation of $0.1 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges presented in our consolidated statements of operations of $6.4 million and $21.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 consisted primarily of wind-down costs related to Fusion5, leadership reorganization costs, IT restructuring charges, and other costs related to the reorganization of the U.S. operations.

The change in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 resulted primarily from an income tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2020 associated with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and in the third quarter of 2021 associated with the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the mixture of income and losses in jurisdictions in which we operate, and the incremental income tax benefit 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 days. 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 Receivables Securitization Program, or a combination thereof of approximately $27 million.

The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are held in cash depository accounts with major banks in the United States, 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.

Cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2021 and 2020 reflected fluctuations in net income along with changes in working capital.

Cash used for investing activities in the first nine months of 2021 and 2020 included capital expenditures of $32.6 million and $26.4 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 provided by investing activities in the first nine months of 2020 included cash consideration received of $133 million from the sale of Movianto and proceeds of $6.0 million from the surrender of company-owned life insurance policies.

Cash used for financing activities in the first nine months of 2021 included dividend payments of $0.5 million and net repayments of $90.9 million under our revolving credit facility, compared to $0.5 million and $108 million for the same period of 2020. We also had proceeds from borrowings of $575 million related to the 2029 Unsecured Notes and Accounts Receivable Securitization Program for the first nine months of 2021, compared to $150 million related to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program for the first nine months of 2020. Financing activities also included repayments of $553 million for the first nine months of 2021 on our term loans, 2021 and 2024 Notes, and Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, compared to $270 million in the same period of 2020 on our term loans and 2021 and 2024 Notes. We used $83.3 million of cash to repurchase $87.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 and 2024 Notes during the first nine months of 2020. We also paid $13.9 million in financing costs in the first nine months of 2021, as compared to $10.4 million in financing costs for the same period of 2020. In addition, we paid $15.4 million to terminate the remaining $300 million in notional value of interest rate swaps during the first nine months of 2021. Payments for taxes related to the vesting of restricted stock awards were $19.3 million and $3.6 million for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, which are included in Other, net.

Capital resources. Our sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, a revolving credit facility under our Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A, as an administrative agent and collateral agent, and a syndicate of financial institutions, as lenders (the Credit Agreement), and the Receivables Securitization Program. The Credit Agreement provides a revolving borrowing capacity of $300 million. The interest rate on our revolving credit facility is based on a spread over a benchmark rate (as described in the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement matures in March 2026.

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had borrowings of $12.3 million and $103 million, and letters of credit of $9.4 million and $13.9 million outstanding under our credit agreements. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $278 million and $283 million, available for borrowing. We also had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding for $2.2 million and $1.6 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, which supports certain leased facilities as well as other normal business activities in the United States and Europe. These letters of credit and guarantees were issued outside of the revolving credit facility.

In May 2020, we entered into an equity distribution agreement, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities offered by this program for the repayment of indebtedness and/or for general corporate and working capital purposes. As of September 30, 2021 no shares were issued and $50.0 million of common stock remained available under the at-the-market equity financing program.

We regularly evaluate market conditions, our liquidity profile and various financing alternatives to enhance our capital structure. 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 third quarter dividend of $0.0025 per share was paid in September 2021. 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 and other factors.

Table of Contents

We believe available financing sources, including cash generated by operating activities and borrowings under the Credit Agreement and Receivables Securitization Program, 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, 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 $28.7 million and $72.0 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 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 September 30, 2021. 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 2021 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.

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 denominated in the euro, Malaysian ringgit, Mexican peso, Thai baht and other currencies. 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 and Receivables Securitization Program. We had $12.3 million in borrowings under our revolving credit facility, $197 million in

Table of Contents

borrowings under our Receivables Securitization Program and $9.4 million in letters of credit under the Credit Agreement at September 30, 2021. We estimate an increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would result in a potential reduction in future pre-tax earnings of approximately $2.2 million per year based on our borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2021.

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 $3.16 and $2.58 per gallon in the first nine months of 2021 and 2020. Based on our fuel consumption in the first nine months of 2021, 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 September 30, 2021. 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, 2020. Through September 30, 2021, 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 updates and supplements risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, our Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and our Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. These risk factors are 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 or future outbreaks of health crises or other adverse public health developments 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, the adoption of remote working and vaccination mandates, have impacted or may in the future impact our operations. In these challenging and dynamic circumstances, we continue to work to protect our teammates 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 has impacted and may further impact our supply chains relative to global demand for our facial protection, nitrile gloves, and protective apparel products. COVID-19 has also affected and may further affect the ability of suppliers and vendors to provide products and services to us or to do so at acceptable quality levels or prices. 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. For example, the significant reduction in elective surgical procedures, which began mid-March of 2020, resulted in a material negative impact on our revenue for 2020. Any worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic or future outbreaks could result in similar reductions in elective surgical procedures or otherwise

Table of Contents

reduce demand for our products, any of which could have a material negative impact on our revenues and profit for future periods.

Although we have experienced significant growth in sales volumes for certain of our products (such as PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as improved productivity and manufacturing output, there can be no assurance that such growth rates, increased sales volumes or other improvements will be maintained during or following the COVID-19 pandemic. We may also see a decline in such growth rates and sales volumes when the impact of the pandemic subsides and the healthcare system returns to a more normalized state. In particular, demand for such products may also decline as government-sponsored COVID-19 response stimulus, relief and production initiatives, such as those under the Defense Production Act (DPA) and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, expire. An accelerated shift of demand away from certain of our products and services could also adversely impact our revenues and profit margins.

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, 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, any future outbreaks, similar pandemics, the timing of recovery, travel restrictions, business closures or business disruptions, a recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event resulting from the spread of the COVID-19 and the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease, we are not able at this time to predict the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, or any future outbreaks or similar pandemics, may have a material effect on our financial or operational results. However, 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, including use of the DPA, taking trade actions including the imposition or removal of tariffs or import / export controls, subsidizing the supply of products, imposition of vaccine mandates 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 manufacturers;

•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, any future outbreaks or similar pandemics. 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, some of our teammates are currently working remotely. An extended period of remote work arrangements, and any worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic, or future outbreaks, 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, any future outbreaks or similar pandemics, 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.
