Owens & Minor, Inc. and Subsidiaries
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 necessary to conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
We report our business under two segments: Products & Healthcare Services and Patient Direct. The Products & Healthcare Services segment includes our Medical Distribution division, which includes our U.S. distribution business, along with our outsourced logistics and value-added services businesses, and our Global Products division which manufactures and sources medical surgical products through our production and kitting operations. The Patient Direct segment includes our home healthcare divisions (Byram and Apria).
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 North America, 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 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 includes cash held in an escrow account as required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in conjunction with the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement initiatives related to wind-down costs of Fusion5, as well as $13.2 million and $13.5 million of cash deposits received subject to limitations on use until remitted to a third-party financial institution (the Purchaser), pursuant to the Master Receivables Purchase Agreement (RPA).
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.

Rental Revenue
Within our Patient Direct segment, revenues are recognized under fee-for-service arrangements for equipment we rent to patients and sales of equipment, supplies and other items we sell to patients. Revenue that is generated from equipment that we rent to patients is primarily recognized over the noncancelable rental period, typically one month, and commences on delivery of the equipment to the patients. Revenues are recorded at amounts estimated to be received under reimbursement arrangements with third-party payors, including private insurers, prepaid health plans, Medicare, Medicaid and patients. Rental revenue, less estimated adjustments, is recognized as earned on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable lease term. Net revenue related to equipment that we rent to patients was $148 million and $158 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and $442 million and $458 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Sales of Accounts Receivable
On March 14, 2023, we entered into the RPA, pursuant to which accounts receivable with an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed $200 million are sold, on a limited-recourse basis, to the Purchaser in exchange for cash. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were a total of $121 million and $124 million of uncollected accounts receivable, that were accounted for as sales and removed from our consolidated balance sheets. Under the RPA, we provide certain servicing and collection actions on behalf of the Purchaser; however, we do not maintain any beneficial interest in the accounts receivable sold.
Proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable are recorded as an increase to cash and cash equivalents and a reduction to accounts receivable, net of allowances, in the consolidated balance sheets. Cash received from the sale of accounts receivable, net of payments made to the Purchaser, is reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Total accounts receivable sold under the RPA were $542 million and $1.6 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we received net cash proceeds of $538 million and $1.6 billion from the sale of accounts receivable under the RPA and collected $550 million and $1.6 billion of the sold accounts receivable. Total accounts receivable sold under the RPA were $482 million and $894 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received net cash proceeds of $478 million and $888 million from the sale of accounts receivable under the RPA and collected $508 million and $805 million of the sold accounts receivable. The losses on sale of accounts receivable, inclusive of professional fees incurred to establish the agreement, recorded in other operating expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations were $3.6 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and $10.8 million and $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The RPA is separate and distinct from the accounts receivable securitization program (the Receivables Financing Agreement).
Acquisition-Related Charges
Acquisition-related charges, included in the 'acquisition-related charges and intangible amortization' line item of our consolidated statements of operations, consist primarily of one-time costs related to acquisitions, including transaction costs necessary to consummate acquisitions, which consist of investment banking advisory fees and legal fees, director and officer tail insurance expense, severance and retention bonuses, and professional fees. Acquisition-related charges also include transition expenses and costs to integrate personnel, systems and processes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred $6.5million and $10.2million of acquisition-related costs related to the expected acquisition of Rotech Healthcare Holdings Inc. (Rotech), which consisted primarily of legal and professional fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $9.4million and $11.9million of acquisition-related costs, consisting of costs primarily related to the acquisition of Apria, Inc. (Apria).

Note 2-Fair Value
Fair value is determined based on assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. The assumptions used are in accordance with a three-tier hierarchy, defined by GAAP, that draws a distinction between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the use of present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3).
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued payroll and related liabilities reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. 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 5 for the fair value of debt. The fair value of our derivative 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 7 for the fair value of derivatives.
Our acquisitions may include contingent consideration as part of the purchase price. The fair value of contingent consideration is estimated as of the acquisition date and at the end of each subsequent reporting period based on the present value of the contingent payments to be made using a weighted probability of possible payments (Level 3). Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded as adjustments to acquisition-related charges and intangible amortization within the consolidated statements of operations.

On September 16, 2024 (the Redemption Date), we redeemed all of our outstanding 4.375% senior notes due in December 2024 (the 2024 Notes), which had an outstanding aggregate principal balance amount of $171.3 million, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2024 Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. As of the Redemption Date, the 2024 Notes were no longer deemed outstanding and interest on the 2024 Notes ceased to accrue.
On March 29, 2022, we entered into a Security Agreement Supplement pursuant to which the Security and Pledge Agreement (the Security Agreement), dated March 10, 2021 was supplemented to grant collateral on behalf of the holders of the 2024 Notes, and the parties secured under the credit agreements including first priority liens and security interests in (a) all present and future shares of capital stock owned by the Grantors (as defined in the Security Agreement) in the Grantors' present and future subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions, and (b) all present and future personal property and assets of the Grantors, subject to certain exceptions.
The Receivables Financing Agreement has a maximum borrowing capacity of $450 million. The interest rate under the Receivables Financing Agreement is based on a spread over a benchmark SOFR rate (as described in the Fourth Amendment to the Receivables Financing Agreement, as further amended by the Fifth Amendment to the Receivables Financing Agreement). Under the Receivables Financing Agreement, certain of our accounts receivable balances are sold to our wholly owned special purpose entity, O&M Funding LLC (O&M Funding). The Receivables Financing Agreement was amended on October 18, 2024, as described in Note 14 - Subsequent Events.
We had no borrowings at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 under our Receivables Financing Agreement. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had maximum revolving borrowing capacity of $450 million under our Receivables Financing Agreement.
On March 29, 2022, we entered into a term loan credit agreement with an administrative agent and collateral agent and a syndicate of financial institutions, as lenders (the Credit Agreement) that provides for two credit facilities (i) a $500 million Term Loan A facility (the Term Loan A), and (ii) a $600 million Term Loan B facility (the Term Loan B). The interest rate on the Term Loan A is based on the sum of either Term SOFR or the Base Rate and an Applicable Rate which varies depending on the current Debt Ratings or Total Leverage Ratio, determined as to whichever shall

result in more favorable pricing to the Borrowers (each as defined in the Credit Agreement). The interest rate on the Term Loan B is based on either the Term SOFR or the Base Rate plus an Applicable Rate. The Term Loan A will mature in March 2027 and the Term Loan B will mature in March 2029. In addition to our scheduled principal payment of $6.3 million on the Term Loan A, we made an unscheduled principal payment of $20.0 million on the Term Loan A during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
On March 10, 2021, we issued $500 million of 4.500% senior unsecured notes due in March 2029 (the 2029 Unsecured Notes), with interest payable semi-annually. The 2029 Unsecured Notes were sold at 100% of the principal amount with an effective yield of 4.500%. We may redeem all or part of the 2029 Unsecured Notes at the applicable redemption prices described in the Indenture dated March 10, 2021 (the Indenture), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.
On March 29, 2022, we issued $600 million of 6.625% senior unsecured notes due in April 2030 (the 2030 Unsecured Notes), with interest payable semi-annually. The 2030 Unsecured Notes were sold at 100% of the principal amount with an effective yield of 6.625%. We may redeem all or part of the 2030 Unsecured Notes, prior to April 1, 2025, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Unsecured Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, plus a "make-whole" premium, as described in the Indenture dated March 29, 2022 (the New Indenture). From and after April 1, 2025, we may redeem all or part of the 2030 Unsecured Notes at the applicable redemption prices described in the New Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. We may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Unsecured Notes at any time prior to April 1, 2025, at a redemption price equal to 106.625% 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.
The 2029 Unsecured Notes and the 2030 Unsecured Notes are subordinated to any of our secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under our credit agreements.
We have a revolving credit agreement with an administrative agent and collateral agent and a syndicate of financial institutions, as lenders (the Revolving Credit Agreement) with a maximum borrowing capacity of $450 million. The interest rate under our Revolving Credit Agreement is based on the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). The Revolving Credit Agreement matures in March 2027.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our Revolving Credit Agreement was undrawn, and we had letters of credit, which reduce Revolving Credit Agreement availability, totaling $31.5 million and $27.4 million, leaving $419 million and $423 million available for borrowing at the end of each period. We also had letters of credit and bank guarantees which support certain leased facilities as well as other normal business activities in the U.S. and Europe that were issued outside of the Revolving Credit Agreement for $3.0 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The Revolving Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Receivables Financing Agreement, the 2029 Unsecured Notes, and the 2030 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 applicable credit agreements 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, 2024.

Note 6-Retirement Plans
We have a frozen noncontributory, unfunded retirement plan for certain retirees in the U.S. (U.S. Retirement Plan). As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the accumulated benefit obligation of the U.S. Retirement Plan was $32.9 million and $34.1 million. Certain of our foreign subsidiaries also have defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all of their respective teammates.

Note 7-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 on our Credit Agreement which fluctuates based on changes in our benchmark interest rates. In order to mitigate the risk of increases in benchmark rates on our term loans, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement 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 agreement are included in interest expense, net.
We determine the fair value of our foreign currency derivatives and 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. All derivatives

are carried at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. 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 amount of ineffectiveness associated with these contracts was immaterial for the periods presented.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a gain of $4.2 million and a loss of $1.0 million associated with our economic (non-designated) foreign currency contracts. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized losses of $2.4 million and $3.3 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 expense, net for our foreign exchange contracts.
Note 8-Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 7.4% and (15.4)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 41.5% and 22.0% in the same periods of 2023. The change in these rates for the three month periods resulted primarily from changes in results of operations in the jurisdictions in which we operate and the incremental tax benefit recorded for foreign derived intangible income in the third quarter of 2023. The change in these rates for the nine month periods resulted primarily from remeasurement of our uncertain tax positions, as described below, as well as the factors described for the three month periods.
On August 26, 2020, we received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (NOPA) from the 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. The transfer pricing methodology was consistently applied for all years subject to the NOPAs and 2019 into 2022, but is no longer employed.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the IRS and the relevant foreign taxing authority mutually agreed to proposed adjustments to our 2015 through 2018 consolidated tax returns. This was communicated to us in late June 2024. As a result, we remeasured the uncertain tax position for the 2015 through 2018 tax years, as well as the affected 2019 through 2022 tax years, to the amount expected to be paid upon a final agreement with the IRS. This matter does not impact our 2023, 2024 or future tax years. The total change in estimate, net of an income tax benefit from the foreign taxing authority, is $17.9 million, or $(0.23) impact per basic and diluted common share, including $4.7 million of interest, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and is reflected within the income tax provision on our consolidated statements of operations. The total change in estimate reflects an increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $19.7 million recorded within other current liabilities, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in the receivable from the foreign taxing authority recorded within other current assets, on our consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2024. The balance sheet classification and amount owed may be subject to change depending on the timing of a final agreement with the IRS. Excluding the impact of $0.7 million of interest, there has been no change in estimate for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
17
Table of Contents
The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $38.2 million at September 30, 2024 and $22.7 million at December 31, 2023. Unrecognized tax benefits of $35.5 million and $20.0 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 would impact our effective tax rate if recognized.
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 beyond the amounts described herein.

Note 11-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: Products & Healthcare Services and Patient Direct. The Products & Healthcare Services segment includes our Medical Distribution division, which includes our U.S. distribution business, along with our outsourced logistics and value-added services businesses, and our Global Products division which manufactures and sources medical surgical products through our production and kitting operations. The Patient Direct segment includes our home healthcare divisions (Byram and Apria).
We evaluate the performance of our segments based on their operating income excluding acquisition-related charges and intangible amortization and exit and realignment charges, net, along with other adjustments, that, as a result of their nature, 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.
The following tables present financial information by segment:

Note 12-Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which will require disclosure of additional detailed information about a reportable segment's expenses, including significant segment expenses regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), the title and position of the CODM, and how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of a segment's profit or loss. This ASU is effective for us in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within annual years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this ASU must be applied on a retrospective basis to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. We expect this ASU to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In December 2023, the FASB Issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which will require additional annual income tax disclosures, including disclosure of reconciling items by jurisdiction and nature to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, this ASU will require disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount ismore than 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this ASU are required to be applied on a prospective basis and retrospective adoption is permitted. We expect this ASU to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Note 13-Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Legal Proceedings
Commitments include $48.4 million of legally binding lease payments for the Morgantown, West Virginia center of excellence for medical supplies and logistics lease signed, but not yet commenced. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for disclosure of other material contractual obligations.
We are party to various legal claims that are ordinary and incidental to our business, including ones related to commercial disputes, employment, workers' compensation, product liability, regulatory and other matters. We maintain insurance coverage for employment, product liability, workers' compensation and other personal injury litigation matters, subject to policy limits, applicable deductibles and insurer solvency. We establish reserves from time to time based upon periodic assessment of the potential outcomes of pending matters.
Based on current knowledge and the advice of counsel, we believe that the accrual as of September 30, 2024 for currently pending matters considered probable of loss, which is not material, is sufficient. In addition, we believe that other currently pending matters are not reasonably possible to result in a material loss, as payment of the amounts claimed is remote, the claims are immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, or the claims are expected to be adequately covered by insurance, subject to policy limits, applicable deductibles, exclusions and insurer solvency.
On July 22, 2024, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Rotech for $1.36 billion in cash. Given anticipated tax benefits of approximately $40 million from the transaction, the net purchase price is approximately $1.32 billion. Rotech is a national leader in providing home medical equipment in the US. The definitive agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Rotech. In the event that we terminate the contract, we will be required to pay Rotech a termination fee of $70.0 million. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart Scott Rodino Act, and is expected to close in the first half of 2025. We have fully committed financing in place and expect to use a combination of cash and incremental borrowings to fund the purchase price.
Note 14 - Subsequent Events
On October 18, 2024, O&M Funding and Owens & Minor Medical, LLC., each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement (the Receivables Sale Program) with persons from time to time party hereto, as Purchasers, PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, and PNC Capital Markets LLC, as Structuring Agent, pursuant to which accounts receivable with an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed
22
Table of Contents
$450 million are sold, on a limited-recourse basis, to the Purchasers in exchange for cash. The Receivables Sale Program amends and restates in its entirety, the Receivables Financing Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2020. Transactions under this agreement will be accounted for as sales in accordance with ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, with the sold receivables removed from our consolidated balance sheets. Under the Receivables Sale Program, we provide certain servicing and collection actions on behalf of the Purchasers; however, we do not maintain any beneficial interest in the accounts receivable sold.
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, 2023. 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, 2023.
Overview
Owens & Minor, Inc., along with its subsidiaries, (we, us, or our) is a global healthcare solutions company. Our business has two distinct segments: Products & Healthcare Services and Patient Direct. Products & Healthcare Services provides distribution, outsourced logistics and value-added services, and manufactures and sources medical surgical products through our production and kitting operations. The Patient Direct segment includes our home healthcare divisions (Byram and Apria).
On July 22, 2024, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Mergerto acquire Rotech Healthcare Holdings Inc., (Rotech)for $1.36 billion in cash. Given anticipated tax benefits of approximately $40 million from the transaction, the net purchase price is approximately $1.32 billion. Rotech is a national leader in providing home medical equipment in the US. The definitive agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Rotech. In the event that we terminate the contract, we will be required to pay Rotech a termination fee of $70.0 million. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period underthe Hart Scott Rodino Act, and is expected to close in the first half of 2025. We have fully committed financing in place and expect to use a combination of cash and incremental borrowings to fund the purchase price.
Net (loss) per share was $(0.17) and $(0.87) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to net (loss) per share of $(0.08) and $(0.78) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the prior year periods were impacted by the following: (1) a decline in operating income of our Products & Healthcare Services segment as described below; (2) $10.0 million of expense primarily for a legal settlement and related charges for a compensation dispute, partially offset by (3) an increase in operating income by our Patient Direct segment as described below; (4) a decline in intangible amortization of $6.2 million; and (5) a decline in interest expense of $1.6 million. Our financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the prior year periods were impacted by the following: (1) the remeasurement of an uncertain tax position, including interest which resulted in a $17.9 million, or $(0.23) income tax charge per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (see Note 8 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements); (2) legal settlements of $16.7 million related primarily to compensation and wage and hour disputes and (3) a $10.7 million increase in exit and realignment charges, net partially offset by (4) operating income increases in both of our segments as described below; (5) a decline in interest expense of $12.9 million; and (6) a decline in intangible amortization of $11.5 million. Net (loss) per share was favorably impacted as compared to the prior year by foreign currency translation in the amount of $0.02 and $0.01 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Products & Healthcare Services operating income was $4.2 million and $27.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $19.8 million and $24.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decline for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to (1) a $10.3 million increase in last in, first out (LIFO) charges, (2) $4.6 million of unfavorable changes in foreign currency transaction gains and losses, net of derivative adjustments, as compared to the prior year and (3) costs to support future revenue growth partially offset by (4) revenue growth of 4.7% and (5) approximately $11 million of savings derived

Table of Contents
sourcing initiatives and other operating efficiencies. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to revenue growth of 4.0% and savings derived by our sourcing initiatives of approximately $26 million, partially offset by a $14.2 million increase in LIFO charges, increased costs to support future revenue growth, and approximately $8 million of increased teammate benefit costs. Patient Direct operating income was $79.9 million and $191 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $64.4 million and $169 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. This segment's results reflect revenue growth of 5.9% and 5.1% and cost savings from information technology (IT) strategic initiatives and other operating efficiencies. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a $5.1 million gain from an agreement with Philips Respironics (Philips) for previously recalled equipment, which was partially offset by unfavorable changes in revenue mix and approximately $15 million of increased teammate benefit costs.
Refer to 'Results of Operations' for further detail of quantitative and qualitative drivers of our results.
Philips Respironics Recall
In June 2021, one of Apria's suppliers, Philips, announced a voluntary recall of its continuous and non-continuous ventilators (certain continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), bilevel positive airway pressure and ventilator devices) related to polyurethane foam used in those devices, which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified as a Class I recall, the most serious category of recall. In December 2022, Philips issued a subsequent voluntary recall related to deficiencies in repairs made to certain of the ventilators that had originally been recalled in June 2021 (together with the June 2021 recall, the Recall). In April 2024, Philips entered into a consent decree enjoining Philips from making and distributing non-medically necessary CPAP, bilevel positive airway pressure and ventilator devices at any of its Sleep and Respiratory Care Business facilities until the FDA determines that Philips has complied with the remediation and compliance activities set forth in the consent decree.
We continue to closely monitor the impact of the Recall and subsequent consent decree on our business. To date, we have incurred significant costs coordinating Recall-related activities, and we may continue to incur additional significant costs (including costs in completing the replacement of devices subject to the Recall). Some or all of these costs may not be recoverable from the product manufacturer. During the second quarter, we reached an agreement with Philips requiring Philips to pay us for recalled equipment returned to Philips. Refer to the 'Overview' section for details of the impacts to our statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we received $17.1 million from Philips which was recorded in the 'other, net' line item within investing activities of the consolidated statements of cash flows. The corresponding gain of $5.1 million on the returned equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is reflected in the 'gain on sales and dispositions of property and equipment' line item within operating activities of the consolidated statements of cash flows. While we believe we have access to a sufficient supply of CPAP, bilevel positive airway pressure and ventilator devices to service our home healthcare patients' needs, other supply chain disruptions may have a future material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

The Products & Healthcare Services net revenue increase of $90.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was driven primarily from net revenue growth in the Medical Distribution division of 5.5%, which includes the benefit of one additional sales day. The Patient Direct segment net revenue growth for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $38.6 million was driven by growth across most product categories, including diabetes and sleep supplies, as a result of patient growth and high retention of customers.
The Products & Healthcare Services net revenue increase of $230 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven primarily from net revenue growth in the Medical Distribution division of 5.0%, which includes the benefit of one additional sales day and was partially offset by a slight decline in our Global Products division, primarily driven by a decline in international net revenue. The Patient Direct segment net revenue growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $97.0 million was driven by virtually the same factors impacting the third quarter of 2024.
Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact on net revenue of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and an unfavorable impact of $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the prior year periods.

The increase in cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2024 reflects the increased cost associated with net revenue growth of 5.0% and a $10.3 million increase in LIFO charges, which reflects a $6.7 million LIFO liquidation credit for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of a reduction in our Products & Healthcare Services segment inventory, as measured on a first in, first out basis. The increase was partially offset by cost reductions in our Global Products division, including approximately $11 million of savings associated with sourcing initiatives and other operating efficiencies.
The increase in cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 reflects the increased cost associated with net revenue growth of 4.3% and a $14.2 million increase in LIFO charges, partially offset by cost reductions in our Global Products division, including approximately $26 million of savings associated with sourcing initiatives.
Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact on cost of goods sold of $2.2 million and $3.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the prior year periods.

The increase in Distribution, selling and administrative (DS&A) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was driven primarily by incremental costs to support the $129 million, or 5.0%, net revenue growth, along with future revenue growth, partially offset by productivity gains derived from operating efficiencies.
The increase in DS&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven primarily by incremental costs to support the $327 million, or 4.3%, net revenue growth, along with future revenue growth and an increase of approximately $22 million in teammate benefit costs, partially offset by approximately $14 million in expense savings from our IT strategic initiatives, approximately $8 million of personnel cost savings related to 2023 organizational changes, and other productivity gains derived from operating efficiencies.
Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact on DS&A expenses of $0.1 million and favorable impact on DS&A expenses of $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the prior year periods.
Intangible amortization was $14.6 million and $51.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $20.8 million and $62.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023

We may incur material future costs relating to certain exit and realignment actions, which remain underway and we are not able to reasonably estimate.
The change in other operating expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 reflects $3.6 million and $10.8 million of losses on sales of accounts receivable under the Master Receivables Purchase Agreement (RPA) as compared to $3.5 million and $7.1 million of losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 resulted primarily from changes in results of operations in the jurisdictions in which we operate and a tax benefit recorded for foreign derived intangible income during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The change in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 resulted primarily from a one-time income tax charge of $17.9 million, or $(0.23) per share, related to a recent decision associated with Notices of Proposed Adjustments (NOPA) that we received in 2020 and 2021 as well as the factors described for the three month period. The NOPA was communicated to us in late June 2024. The matter at hand is related to past transfer pricing methodology, which is no longer employed. See Note 8 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 Agreement or Receivables Financing Agreement, or a combination thereof of approximately $30 million.

Table of Contents
The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are held in cash depository accounts with major banks in North America, 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 2024 and 2023 reflected net losses and changes in working capital. The change in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by the reduction in accounts receivable, net from the initial accounts receivable sold through the RPA and the significant reduction in inventory levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as these items did not recur during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Cash used for investing activities in the first nine months of 2024 included capital expenditures of $157 million, primarily for patient service equipment and our strategic and operational efficiency initiatives associated with property and equipment and capitalized software, offset by $84.8 million in proceeds from sales and dispositions of property and equipment, which included sales of patient service equipment and $33.5 million in gross proceeds related to the sale of our corporate headquarters, and $17.1 million included in the 'other, net' line item for a settlement with Philips for returned equipment as described in the 'Philips Respironics Recall' section above. Cash used for investing activities in the first nine months of 2023 included capital expenditures of $152 million for patient service equipment and our strategic and operational efficiency initiatives associated with property and equipment and capitalized software, partially offset by $53.6 million in proceeds related primarily to the sale of patient service equipment.
Cash used for financing activities in the first nine months of 2024 included repayments of debt of $211 million including the $171 million paid to redeem the outstanding 4.375% seniors notes due in December 2024 (the 2024 Notes), an unscheduled principal payment of $20.0 million on the Term Loan A and scheduled principal payments of $20.1 million on our Term Loans. We had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility for the first nine months of 2024 and the activity under our amended Receivables Financing Agreement netted to no impact to our outstanding borrowings. Payments for taxes related to the vesting of restricted stock awards, which are included in Other, net, were
29
Table of Contents
$8.1 million for the first nine months of 2024. Cash used for financing activities in the first nine months of 2023 included repayments of debt of $270 million, including $125 million of unscheduled and $10.8 million of scheduled principal payments on the Term Loan A and the Term Loan B, $134 million of cash to repurchase $143 million aggregate principal of the 2024 Notes, the 2029 Unsecured Notes and the 2030 Unsecured Notes. We had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility on a net basis for the first nine months of 2023 and made net repayments of $96.0 million under our amended Receivables Financing Agreement.
Capital resources. Our primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, our Receivables Financing Agreement, and our Revolving Credit Agreement. The Receivables Financing Agreement provides a maximum revolving borrowing capacity of $450 million. The interest rate under the Receivables Financing Agreement is based on a spread over a benchmark SOFR rate (as described in the Fourth Amendment to the Receivables Financing Agreement, as further amended by the Fifth Amendment to the Receivables Financing Agreement). Under the Receivables Financing Agreement, certain of our accounts receivable balances are sold to our wholly owned special purpose entity, O&M Funding LLC. The Receivables Financing Agreement matures in March 2025. We had no borrowings at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 under our Receivables Financing Agreement. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had maximum revolving borrowing capacity of $450 million under our Receivable Financing Agreement.
The Revolving Credit Agreement provides a revolving borrowing capacity of $450 million. We have $870 million in outstanding term loans under a term loan credit agreement (the Credit Agreement). The interest rate on our Revolving Credit Agreement is based on a spread over a benchmark rate (as described in the Revolving Credit Agreement). The Revolving Credit Agreement matures in March 2027. The interest rate on the Term Loan A is based on either the Term SOFR or the Base Rate plus an Applicable Rate which varies depending on the current Debt Ratings or Total Leverage Ratio, determined as to whichever shall result in more favorable pricing to the Borrowers (each as defined in the Credit Agreement). The interest rate on the Term Loan B is based on either the Term SOFR or the Base Rate plus an Applicable Rate. The Term Loan A matures in March 2027 and the Term Loan B matures in March 2029.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our Revolving Credit Agreement was undrawn, and we had letters of credit, which reduce Revolver availability, totaling $31.5 million and $27.4 million, leaving $419 million and $423 million available for borrowing at the end of each period. We also had letters of credit and bank guarantees which support certain leased facilities as well as other normal business activities in the United States and Europe that were issued outside of the Revolving Credit Agreement for $3.0 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
On March 29, 2022, we entered into a Security Agreement Supplement pursuant to which the Security and Pledge Agreement (the Security Agreement), dated March 10, 2021 was supplemented to grant collateral on behalf of the holders of the 2024 Notes, and the parties secured under the credit agreements including first priority liens and security interests in (a) all present and future shares of capital stock owned by the Grantors (as defined in the Security Agreement) in the Grantors' present and future subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions, and (b) all present and future personal property and assets of the Grantors, subject to certain exceptions. On September 16, 2024, we redeemed all of our outstanding 2024 Notes, see Note 5 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Revolving Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Receivables Financing Agreement, the 4.500% senior unsecured notes due in March 2029, and the 6.625% senior unsecured notes due in April 2030 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 applicable credit agreements 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, 2024.
On March 14, 2023, we entered into the RPA, pursuant to which accounts receivable with an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed $200 million are sold, on a limited-recourse basis, to a third-party financial institution (the Purchaser) in exchange for cash. Cash received from the sales of accounts receivable, net of payments made to the Purchaser, is reflected in the change in accounts receivable within cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Total accounts receivable sold under the RPA were $542 million and $1.6 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024,
30
Table of Contents
we received net cash proceeds of $538 million and $1.6 billion from the sale of accounts receivable under the RPA and collected $550 million and $1.6 billion of the sold accounts receivable. Total accounts receivable sold under the RPA were $482 million and $894 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received net cash proceeds of $478 million and $888 million from the sale of accounts receivable under the RPA and collected $508 million and $805 million of the sold accounts receivable. No accounts receivables were sold under the RPA for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The losses on sale of accounts receivable, inclusive of professional fees incurred to establish the agreement, recorded in other operating expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations were $3.6 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and $10.8 million and $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The RPA is separate and distinct from the accounts receivable securitization program (the Receivables Financing Agreement).
We regularly evaluate market conditions, our liquidity profile and various financing alternatives to enhance our capital structure. We have from time to time, entered into, and from time to time in the future, 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.
We believe cash generated by operating activities, including available cash proceeds from the RPA, available financing sources, and borrowings under the Receivables Financing Agreement and Revolving Credit Agreement, as well as cash on hand, will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, long-term strategic growth, payments under long-term debt and lease arrangements, 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 U.S. Our cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries subject to repatriation totaled $22.2 million and $22.0 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, we are permanently reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries.

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, 2023. 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 cannot assure you that the proposed acquisition of Rotech (Rotech Acquisition) will be completed.
There are a number of risks and uncertainties relating to the Rotech Acquisition. For example, the Rotech Acquisition may not be completed, or may not be completed in the timeframe, on the terms or in the manner currently anticipated, as a result of a number of factors, including, among other things, the failure of one or more of the conditions to closing in the Agreement and Plan of Merger. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing of the Rotech Acquisition will be satisfied or waived or that other events will not intervene to delay or result in the failure to close the Rotech Acquisition. The Agreement and Plan of Merger may be terminated by the parties thereto under certain circumstances, including, without limitation, if the Rotech Acquisition has not been completed by July 22, 2025. Any delay in closing the Rotech Acquisition or a failure to close the Rotech Acquisition could have a negative impact on our business and the trading prices of our common stock and debt.
We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Rotech Acquisition or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected. We may also encounter significant difficulties in integrating the Rotech business into our operations.
Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Rotech Acquisition will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to integrate the Rotech business into ours. We may devote significant management attention and resources preparing for and then integrating the business practices and operations of the Rotech business with ours. This integration process may be disruptive to our and the Rotech businesses, and, if implemented ineffectively, could restrict realization of the expected benefits. In addition, we may fail to realize some of the anticipated benefits of the Rotech Acquisition if the integration process takes longer than expected or is more costly than expected. Potential difficulties we may encounter in the integration process include:
● | The inability to successfully combine operations in a manner that would result in the anticipated benefits of the Rotech Acquisition in the time frame currently anticipated or at all; |
● | Complexities associated with managing the expanded operations; |
● | Integrating personnel; |
● | Creation of uniform standards, internal controls, procedures, policies and information systems; |
● | Unforeseen increased expenses, delays or regulatory issues associated with integrating the operations; and |
● | Performance shortfalls as a result of the diversion of management attention caused by completing the integration of the operations. |
Even if we are able to integrate the Rotech business successfully, this integration may not result in the realization of the full benefits that we currently expect, nor can we give assurances that these benefits will be achieved when expected or at all. Moreover, the integration of the Rotech business may result in unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, regulatory risks and competitive responses that could have material adverse consequences.
We and the Rotech business will be subject to business uncertainties while the Rotech Acquisition is pending that could adversely affect our business and the Rotech business.
Uncertainty about the effect of the Rotech Acquisition on teammates, customers and suppliers may have an adverse effect on us and the Rotech business. Although we and Rotech intend to take actions to reduce any adverse effects, these uncertainties could cause customers, suppliers and others that deal with us and/or the Rotech business to seek to change existing business relationships. In addition, teammate retention could be negatively impacted during the
34
Table of Contents
pendency of the Rotech Acquisition. If key teammates depart because of concerns relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of the integration process, our business could be harmed.
The pendency of the Rotech Acquisition could adversely affect our business, financial results, and operations.
The announcement and pendency of the Rotech Acquisition could cause disruptions and create uncertainty surrounding our business and affect our relationships with our customers, suppliers and teammates. In addition, we have diverted, and will continue to divert, significant management resources to complete the Rotech Acquisition, which could have a negative impact on our ability to manage existing operations or pursue alternative strategic transactions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Investor perceptions about the terms or benefits of the Rotech Acquisition could have a negative impact on our business and the trading prices of our common stock and debt.
Despite current indebtedness levels, we will incur substantially more debt to complete the acquisition of Rotech.
We and our subsidiaries will incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future in order to complete the Rotech Acquisition, which could significantly increase our leverage. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we and our subsidiaries now face to service debt levels and the risks associated with failure to adequately service our debt could intensify.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
None.
Item 5. Other Information.
On October 11, 2024, the Company and Rotech each received a request for additional information and documentary materials from the Federal Trade Commission (the FTC) in connection with the FTC's review of the Merger. The effect of a Second Request is to extend the waiting period imposed by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, until 30 days after each of the Company and Rotech has substantially complied with the Second Request issued to it, unless that period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated earlier by the FTC.
Completion of the Rotech Acquisition remains subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions specified in an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). The Company continues to work constructively with the FTC in its review of the Merger and expects that the Merger will be completed in the first half of 2025, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, none of our directors or officers informed us of the adoption or termination of a trading plan intended to satisfy Rule 10b5-1(c).
