Overview

CELEBRATING 75 YEARS OF SUCCESS
AND A HERITAGE OF SERVICE AND INNOVATION

Over 75 years ago, a young pharmacist with irrepressible entrepreneurial spirit, borrowed $500 and opened a pharmacy in Queens, New York. The young man was Henry Schein.

Henry Schein and his wife, Esther, grew their small pharmacy into a thriving enterprise based on the belief that affordable, high-quality merchandise and excellent customer service were the building blocks of a successful business. Today, Henry Schein, Inc. has grown from that small storefront pharmacy into a FORTUNE 500® company, the largest distributor of healthcare products and services to office-based practitioners in the combined North American and European markets. Our Company now employs more than 11,000 Team Schein Members worldwide.

As we mark this milestone year, we remain committed to serving our customers, supplier partners, investors, society, and Team Schein—and firmly believe that our best years are yet to come.

Henry Schein Reports Record First Quarter Results

Diluted EPS from continuing operations increases 20% to $0.48

MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2007--Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSIC), the largest provider of healthcare products and services to office-based practitioners in the combined North American and European markets, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Net sales for the first quarter of 2007 were $1.3 billion, an increase of 14.8% from the first quarter of 2006. This increase includes 12.4% local currency growth (4.2% internally generated and 8.2% from acquisitions net of divestiture) and 2.4% related to foreign currency exchange. (See Exhibit A for details of sales growth.)

Net income and income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2007 were $43.5 million or $0.48 per diluted share. First quarter 2007 income and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were up 22.1% and 20.0%, respectively, compared with the prior-year first quarter. There was no impact of discontinued operations in the current quarter.

"Once again our quarterly results featured double-digit sales growth in each of our business groups as we continued to gain market share across the board," said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein. "Also, operating margin expanded as we continue to leverage a growing top line across our established infrastructure and focus on selling higher-margin products."

For the first quarter, Dental sales increased 16.7%, including 16.9% growth in local currencies (9.9% internally generated and 7.0% from acquisitions) offset by a 0.2% decline related to foreign currency exchange. Of the 16.9% local currency growth, Dental consumable merchandise sales increased 14.6% (6.2% internal growth and 8.4% acquisition growth) and Dental equipment sales and service revenues were up 25.6% (23.5% internal growth and 2.1% acquisition growth).

"Strong market-share gains in our Dental Group were led by equipment sales and service growth, which reflects continued strength in basic equipment sales and strong demand for high-tech products as dentists strive for greater practice efficiencies and patient satisfaction," commented Mr. Bergman. "The dental markets we serve remain strong, based on our positive experience with customers and manufacturers at two large dental trade shows during the quarter."

Medical sales increased 11.3% during the first quarter (1.9% decline in internal sales growth offset by 13.2% acquisition growth net of divestiture). The Company estimates that its Medical Group internal sales growth, excluding sales of all pharmaceutical products, represents a market share gain for the quarter.

"In April we combined our major physician brands under the Henry Schein Medical brand, with the goal of leveraging our unique strengths in field sales, telesales, telemarketing and direct marketing," added Mr. Bergman. "While we are confident in the long-term benefit of this initiative to our customers and to our Company, Medical Group results over the next several quarters will reflect the elimination of duplicate costs and may reflect some sales erosion as well."

For the quarter, International sales increased 15.1%, including 6.1% growth in local currencies (1.1% internally generated and 5.0% from acquisitions), and 9.0% related to foreign currency exchange. "International sales growth was negatively impacted by the timing of the International Dental Show (IDS) in Germany, the world's largest dental trade show which was held near the end of the first quarter, among other factors," commented Mr. Bergman.

Technology and Value-Added Services sales increased 24.6% during the first quarter of 2007, including 24.7% growth in local currencies (17.7% internally generated and 7.0% acquisition growth) offset by a 0.1% decline related to foreign currency exchange. "Our Technology and Value-Added Services sales growth for the quarter was fueled by strong growth in electronic services, software and financial services revenues," stated Mr. Bergman.

Diversity

At Henry Schein, we encourage, embrace, and appreciate diversity in our workplace, and use our commonalities and differences to leverage and enhance our effectiveness inside and outside our Company. Our Team Schein Members and our customer base reflect the growing cultural diversity of our world.

Henry Schein takes part in a variety of initiatives and programs that address and support the issue of diversity in dental healthcare access, as an example. Through our continued involvement, we help our practitioner customers better serve their patients and bring much needed services to underserved communities. In 2004, we partnered with the American Dental Association (ADA) to host a Dental Diversity Forum. Many prominent leaders from academic and business backgrounds gathered to discuss innovative methods to recruit, retain, and advance qualified diverse dental healthcare professionals on a worldwide basis, and to find new ways for the dental industry to meet the needs of minority dental practitioners. We were also one of four founding corporate sponsors of the ADA’s Diversity in Leadership Institute. The Institute was created to foster leadership training and a corporate mentoring network within the dental industry in order to improve the business management skills of dentists from racial, ethnic, or gender backgrounds that have been underrepresented in such roles.

Additionally, we partner with and provide financial and logistical support to organizations such as the Hispanic Dental Association, the Indian Health Services clinics, the National Dental Association, Medical Education for South African Blacks, and many other outreach programs within the U.S. and other countries. At Henry Schein, our approach to diversity is part of our Company’s value system—and our commitment of responsibility to our worldwide community.
