(unaudited)

Note 1Basis of Presentation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include ourthe accounts as well as thoseof Henry
Schein, Inc. and all of our wholly-owned
controlled subsidiaries.
All intercompany accounts and majority-owned subsidiaries. transactions are eliminated
in consolidation.
Investments
in unconsolidated affiliates in which we have the ability to influence the operating
or financial decisions are
accounted for under the equity method.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the
current period presentation.

Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“
(“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial
statements.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial
statements contained in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2021 and with the information
contained in our other publicly-
available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated results of operations and
financial position for the interim periods presented.
All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United
States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The results of
operations for the three months ended March 26, 2022 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected
for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2022.
We consolidate the results of operations and financial position of a trade accounts receivable securitization which
we consider a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) because we are the primary beneficiary, and we have the power to
direct activities that most significantly affect the economic performance and have
the obligation to absorb the
majority of the losses or benefits.
For this VIE, the trade accounts receivable transferred to the VIE are
pledged as
collateral to the related debt.
The creditors have recourse to us for losses on these trade accounts
receivable.
At September
March 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021, and December 26, 2020, there were 0certain trade accounts receivable

creditors have recourse to us.

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated results of operationsus were $

million and financial position for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020 and with the information contained in our other publicly-available filings with the SEC.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 25, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 25, 2021.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption of global financial markets. In response, many countries implemented business closures and restrictions, stay-at-home and social distancing ordinances and similar measures to combat the pandemic, which significantly impacted global business and dramatically reduced demand for dental products and certain medical products in the second quarter of 2020.Demand increased in the second half of 2020 and has continued into the third quarter of 2021 resulting in growth over the prior year driven by sales of personal protective equipment (“PPE”) and COVID-19 related products.

million, respectively.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions
made by us that affect, among
other things, our goodwill, long-lived asset and definite-lived intangible
asset valuation; inventory valuation; equity
investment valuation; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of deferred
income taxes and income
tax contingencies; the allowance for doubtful accounts; hedging activity; vendor
supplier rebates; measurement of
compensation cost for certain share-based performance awards and cash bonus
plans; and pension plan
assumptions.
Due to the significant uncertainty surrounding the future impact of
COVID-19, our judgments
regarding estimates and impairments could change in the future. In addition, the impact of COVID-19 had a material adverse effect on our business, results of operationsfuture and cash flows, primarily in the second quarter of 2020. In the latter half of the second quarter of 2020, dental and medical practices began to re-open worldwide, and continued to do so during the second half of 2020. During the first nine months of 2021, patient traffic levels returned to levels approaching pre-pandemic levels. There is an ongoing risk that the COVID-19 pandemic may again have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows and
may result in a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and liquidity.
However, the extent of the potential impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Note 2 – Critical Accounting Policies, Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
and Recently Issued Accounting
Standards

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies
during the ninethree months ended September 25, 2021,March 26,
2022, as compared to the critical accounting policies described in Item 8 to the consolidated financial statements included in
7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 26, 2020,25, 2021, except as follows:

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

On
December 27, 2020 26, 2021
we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting 2021 – 08, “Accounting
for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of
Contract Assets and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. Our Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”
(Subtopic 805), as early adoption of this
ASU 2019-12was permitted.
ASU 2021 – 08 requires an acquirer to recognize and measure
contract assets and contract
liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606.
At the acquisition date, an acquirer
should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts.
To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied Topic 606 to determine what to record for the
acquired revenue contracts.
Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired
contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how
they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s
financial statements.
Our
adoption
of ASU 2021 - 08 did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial
statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In AugustMarch 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion2020-04, “Reference Rate
Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” which provides
optional expedients and Other Options” (Subtopic 470-20)exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts,
hedging relationships and other
transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or
by another
reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.
The guidance was effective beginning
March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31,
2022.
In January 2021, the FASB issued
ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”).
ASU 2021-01 provides temporary
optional expedients and exceptions to certain guidance in U.S. GAAP
to ease the financial reporting burdens related
to the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates
to alternative reference rates, such
as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.
The guidance is effective upon issuance, on January 7, 2021, and can be
applied through December 31, 2022.
We do not expect that the requirements of this guidance will have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging—Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value
Hedging –
Portfolio Layer Method,” which will expand companies' abilities
to hedge the benchmark interest rate risk of
portfolios of financial assets (or beneficial interests) in Entity’s Own Equity” (Subtopic 815-40): Accountinga fair value hedge.
This ASU expands the use of the
portfolio layer method (previously referred to as the last-of-layer
method) to allow multiple hedges of a single
closed portfolio of assets using spot starting, forward starting and amortizing-notional
swaps.
It also permits both
prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets to be included in the closed
portfolio of assets hedged in a portfolio
layer hedge.
This ASU further requires that basis adjustments not be allocated
to individual assets for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“active
portfolio layer method hedges, but rather be maintained on the closed portfolio
of assets as a whole.
ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. In addition to eliminating certain accounting models, this ASU includes improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share (EPS) guidance and amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-062022 –
01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. 2022, including interim periods
within those fiscal
years.
Early adoption is permitted for any entity that has adopted the amendments
in ASU 2017-12.
We do not
expect that the requirements of this guidance will have a material impact
on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled
Debt Restructuring and Vintage Disclosures”.
The amendments in this ASU eliminate the accounting guidance
for
troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the Current Expected
Credit Losses model and enhance

the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings
made with borrowers experiencing financial
difficulty.
In addition, the amendments require a public business entity
to disclose current-period gross write-offs
for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination
in the vintage disclosures.
ASU 2022
– 02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including
interim periods within those fiscal
years.
Early adoption is permitted for any entity that has adopted the amendments
in ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial
Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”.
We do not
expect that the requirements of this guidance will have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.

Business Acquisitions
2022 Acquisitions
During the three months ended March 26, 2022,
we made an acquisition within the technology and value-added
services segment.
The impact of this acquisition was not considered material to our
condensed consolidated
financial statements.
2021 Acquisitions
We completed acquisitions during the three months ended March 27, 2021 which were immaterial to our financial
statements.
Our ownership interest acquired ranges between approximately
65
% to
100
%.
Acquisitions within our
health care distribution segment included
companies that specialize in distribution of dental products, a provider
of
home medical supplies, and product kitting and sterile packaging.
Within our technology and value-added services
segment, we acquired companies that focus on dental marketing and website
solutions, practice transition services,
and business analytics and intelligence software.
The following table aggregates the estimated fair value, as of the
date of acquisition, of consideration paid and net
assets acquired for acquisitions during the three months ended March 27, 2021.
While we use our best estimates
and assumptions to accurately value those assets acquired and liabilities
assumed at the acquisition date as well as
contingent consideration, where applicable, our estimates are inherently uncertain
and subject to refinement.
As a
result, during the measurement period we may record adjustments
to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
with the corresponding offset to goodwill within our consolidated balance sheets.

The major classes of assets and liabilities that we generally allocate purchase
price to, excluding goodwill, include
identifiable intangible assets (i.e., customer relationships and lists, trademarks
and trade names, product
development and non-compete agreements), inventory and accounts
receivable, property, plant and equipment,
deferred taxes and other current and long-term assets and liabilities.
The estimated fair value of identifiable
intangible assets is based on critical estimates, judgments and assumptions
derived from analysis of market
conditions, discount rates, discounted cash flows, customer retention rates
and estimated useful lives.
Some prior owners of acquired subsidiaries are eligible to receive additional
purchase price cash consideration if
certain productsfinancial targets are met.
We have accrued liabilities for the estimated fair value of additional purchase
price consideration at the time of the acquisition.
Any adjustments to Covetrusthese accrual amounts are recorded in our
consolidated statements of income.
For the three months ended March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, there were
no
material adjustments recorded in our consolidated statements of income
relating to changes in estimated contingent
purchase price liabilities.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between
(1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained
from independent sources (observable
inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best
information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the
highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority
to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that are accessible at the
measurement date.
Level 2— Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly.
Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities
in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are
not active; inputs other than quoted
prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are
derived principally from or corroborated by
observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3— Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.
The following section describes the fair values of our financial instruments
and the methodologies that we used to
measure their fair values.
Investments and notes receivable
There are no quoted market prices available for investments in unconsolidated
affiliates and notes receivable;
however, we believe the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the interest
rates in the
applicable markets.
Debt
The fair value of our debt (including bank credit lines) is classified as
Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, and
as of March 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021 was estimated at $
866
million and $
873
million, respectively.
Factors that we considered when estimating the fair value of our debt
included market conditions, such as interest
rates and credit spreads.
Derivative contracts
Derivative contracts are valued using quoted market prices and
significant other observable inputs.
We use
derivative instruments to minimize our exposure to fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates.
Our derivative
instruments primarily include foreign currency forward agreements related
to certain intercompany loans, certain
forecasted inventory purchase commitments with foreign suppliers,
foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a
portion of our euro-denominated foreign operations which are designated
as net investment hedges and a total
return swap for the purpose of economically hedging our unfunded
non-qualified supplemental executive retirement
plan and our deferred compensation plan.
The fair values for the majority of our foreign currency derivative contracts
are obtained by comparing our contract
rate to a published forward price of the underlying market rates, which
is based on market rates for comparable
transactions and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests
The values for Redeemable noncontrolling interests are classified within
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and are
based on recent transactions and/or implied multiples of earnings.
See
for additional information.
The following table presents our assets and liabilities that are measured and
recognized at fair value on a recurring
basis classified under the transition services agreement entered into in connection withappropriate level of the Animal Health Spin-off, which ended infair value hierarchy as of
March 26, 2022 and December 2020. See Note-18 Related Party Transactionsfor further information.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On
August 20, 2021
, we entered into a new $1 $
1
billion revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”).
This
facility, which matures on
August 20, 2026
, replaced our $750 $
750
million revolving credit facility, which was
scheduled to mature in April 2022.
The interest rate is based on the USD LIBOR plus a spread based on our
leverage ratio at the end of each financial reporting quarter. We expect most
Most LIBOR rates to behave been discontinued immediately after
December 31, 2021, while the remaining LIBOR rates will be discontinued
immediately after June 30, 2023.
We
do not expect the discontinuation of LIBOR as a reference rate in our
debt agreements to have a material adverse
effect on our financial position or to materially affect our interest expense.
The Credit Agreement also requires,
among other things, that we maintain certain maximum leverage ratios.
Additionally, the Credit Agreement
contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative covenants as well
as customary negative covenants,
subject to negotiated exceptions, on liens, indebtedness, significant corporate
changes (including mergers),
dispositions and certain restrictive agreements.
As of SeptemberMarch 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021, and December 26, 2020, we had
0
borrowings under this revolving credit facility.
As of SeptemberMarch 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021, and December 26, 2020, there were $9.1 $
9
million and $9.5 $
9
million of letters of credit, respectively, provided to third parties under the credit facility.

On April 17, 2020, we amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) modify the financial covenant from being based on total leverage ratio to net leverage ratio, (ii) adjust the pricing grid to reflect the net leverage ratio calculation, and (iii) increase the maximum maintenance leverage ratio through March 31, 2021.

364-Day Credit Agreement

On March 4, 2021, we repaid the outstanding obligations and terminated the lender commitments under our $700 million 364-day credit agreement, which was entered into on April 17, 2020. This facility was originally scheduled to mature on April 16, 2021.

Other Short-Term Bank Credit
Lines

As of SeptemberMarch 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021, and December 26, 2020, we had various other short-term
bank credit lines available, of
which $59.4 $
90
million and $73.4 $
51
million, respectively, were outstanding.
At SeptemberMarch 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021, and December 26, 2020,
borrowings under all of these credit lines had a weighted average interest
rate of 7.42%
8.91
% and 4.14%
10.44
%, respectively.

Private Placement Facilities

Our private placement facilities with were amended on

companies, have a total facility amount of $1 $
1.5
billion (previously $
1.0

uncommitted basis at fixed rate economic terms to be agreed upon at
the time of issuance, from time to time
through
October 20, 2026
(previously
June 23, 2023. 2023
).
The facilities allow us to issue senior promissory notes to
the lenders at a fixed rate based on an agreed upon spread over applicable
treasury notes at the time of
issuance.
The term of each possible issuance will be selected by us and
can range from
five
to
15 years (with
(with an
average life no longer than
12 years)years
).
The proceeds of any issuances under the facilities will be used for
general
corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures,
to refinance existing indebtedness, and/or
to fund potential acquisitions.
The agreements provide, among other things, that we maintain
certain maximum
leverage ratios, and contain restrictions relating to subsidiary indebtedness,
liens, affiliate transactions, disposal of
assets and certain changes in ownership.
These facilities contain make-whole provisions in the event that we
pay
off the facilities prior to the applicable due dates.

On March 5, 2021, we amended the private placement facilities to, among other things, (a) modify the financial covenant from being based on a net leverage ratio to a total leverage ratio and (b) restore the maximum maintenance total leverage ratio to 3.25x and remove the 1.00% interest rate increase triggered if the net leverage ratio were to exceed 3.0x.

On October 20, 2021, we amended our three private placement facilities with insurance companies and entered into a fourth private placement facility with another insurance company, increasing the total facilities amount to $1.5 billion and extending the maturity date of the existing facilities. The maturity date for our private placement facilities is October 20, 2026.

Note 89Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Legal Proceedings

Henry Schein has been named as a defendant in multiple lawsuits (currently
less than one-hundred and seventy-five
(
175
); in less than half of those cases one or more of Schein’s affiliated companies is also named as a defendant),
which
lawsuits allege that manufacturers of prescription opioid drugs engaged in a false advertising campaign to
expand the market for such drugs and their own market share and that the entities in the supply chain (including
Henry Schein, Inc.) reaped financial rewards by refusing or otherwise failing to monitor appropriately and restrict
the improper distribution of those drugs
. These actions consist of some that have been consolidated
within the
MultiDistrict Litigation (“MDL”) proceeding In Re National Prescription
Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804; Case
No. 17-md-2804) and are currently abated for discovery purposes, and others
which remain pending in state courts
and are proceeding independently and outside of the MDL.
At this time, the only cases set for trial are: the action
filed by Mobile County Board of Health, et al., in Alabama state court, which
is currently set for a jury trial on
January 9, 2023; and the action filed by DCH Health Care Authority, et al. in Alabama state court, which is
currently scheduled for a jury trial on March 20, 2023.
The court for the pending cases filed by hospitals in West
Virginia has indicated that it intends to set trials for all defendants in 2022.
However, as of this filing, the West
Virginia hospital cases against Henry Schein have not been set for trial.
Of Henry Schein’s 2021 sales of
approximately $
12.4
billion, sales of opioids represented less than two-tenths of
1
percent.
Opioids represent a
negligible part of our business.
We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against these actions.
From time to time, we may become a party to other legal proceedings,
including, without limitation, product
liability claims, employment matters, commercial disputes, governmental
inquiries and investigations (which may
in some cases involve our entering into settlement arrangements or consent
decrees), and other matters arising out
of the ordinary course of our business.
While the results of any legal proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty,
in our opinion none of these other pending matters are currently anticipated
to have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
As of March 26, 2022, we had accrued our best estimate of potential losses
relating to claims that were probable to
result in liability and for which we were able to reasonably estimate a
loss.
This accrued amount, as well as related
expenses, was not material to our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
Our method for
determining estimated losses considers currently available facts, presently
enacted laws and regulations and other
factors, including probable recoveries from third parties.

Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based awards are provided to certain employees under the terms of
our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan and to
non-employee directors under the terms of our 2015 Non-Employee Director
Stock Incentive Plan (together, the
“Plans”).
The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors (the
“Compensation Committee”).
Historically, equity-based awards to our employees have been granted solely in the
form of time-based and performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
However, for our 2021 fiscal year, in
light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Compensation Committee determined
it would be difficult for management
to set a meaningful three-year cumulative earnings per share target as the goal applicable
to performance-based
restricted stock unit awards as it had done in prior years.
Instead, the Compensation Committee set our equity-
based awards to employees for fiscal 2021 in the form of time-based RSUs
and non-qualified stock options which
focus on stock value appreciation and retention instead of pre-established
performance goals.
Our non-employee
directors continued to receive equity-based wards for fiscal 2021 solely in
the form of time-based RSUs.
During
the three months ended March 26, 2022, the Compensation Committee
reinstated performance-based RSUs for
equity-based awards to employees for fiscal 2022 and awarded grants in
the form of time-based RSUs,
performance-based RSUs and non-qualified stock options.
RSUs are stock-based awards granted to recipients with specified vesting provisions.
In the case of RSUs, common
stock is generally delivered on or following satisfaction of vesting conditions.
We issue RSUs to employees that
vest (i) solely based on the recipient’s continued service over time, primarily with
four
-year cliff vesting and/or (ii)
based on achieving specified performance measurements and the recipient’s continued service over time, primarily
with
three
-year cliff vesting.
RSUs granted under the 2015 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive
Plan primarily
are granted with
12
-month cliff vesting.
For these RSUs, we recognize the cost as compensation expense on
a
straight-line basis.
With respect to time-based RSUs, we estimate the fair value on the date of grant based on our closing
stock price at
the time of grant.
With respect to performance-based RSUs, the number of shares that ultimately vest and
are
received by the recipient is based upon our performance as measured against
specified targets over a specified
period, as determined by the Compensation Committee.
Although there is no guarantee that performance targets
will be achieved, we estimate the fair value of performance-based RSUs
based on our closing stock price at time of
grant.
Each of the Plans provide for certain adjustments to awards under
the Plans and with respect to the performance
goals under the performance-based RSUs granted under our 2020 Stock
Incentive Plan, including adjustment to the
goals for significant events, including, without limitation, acquisitions,
divestitures, new business ventures, certain
capital transactions (including share repurchases), other differences in budgeted average
outstanding shares (other
than those resulting from capital transactions referred to above), restructuring
costs, if any, certain litigation
settlements or payments, if any, changes in accounting principles or in applicable laws or regulations, changes in
income includestax rates in certain gainsmarkets, foreign exchange fluctuations, and losses
unforeseen events or circumstances
affecting the Company.
Over the performance period, the number of shares of common stock
that will ultimately
vest and be issued and the related compensation expense is adjusted upward
or downward based upon our
estimation of achieving such performance targets.
The ultimate number of shares delivered to recipients
and the
related compensation cost recognized as an expense will be based on our
actual performance metrics as defined
under U.S. GAAP,the Plans.
Stock options are excluded awards that allow the recipient to purchase shares of our
common stock at a fixed price following
vesting of the stock options.
Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to our closing stock price
on the
date of grant.
Stock options issued beginning in 2021 vest
one-third
per year based on the recipient’s continued
service, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan,
are fully vested
three years
from net income asthe
grant date and have a contractual term of
ten years
from the grant date, subject to earlier termination of the term
upon certain events.
Compensation expense for these stock options is recognized
using a graded vesting method.
We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

In addition to equity-based awards granted in fiscal 2021 under the Company’s long-term incentive program, the
Compensation Committee granted a Special Pandemic Recognition Award under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan to
recipients of performance-based RSUs under the 2018 long-term
incentive program.
The payout under the
performance-based restricted stock units granted under the fiscal 2018
long-term incentive program (the “2018
LTIP”) was negatively impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Given the significance of the impact of the
pandemic on the Company’s
three-year
EPS goal under such amountsequity awards and the contributions made
by the
Company’s employees (including those who received such awards), on March 3, 2021, the Compensation
Committee granted a Special Pandemic Recognition Award to recipients of performance-based restricted stock
units under the 2018 LTIP who were employed by the Company on the grant date of the Special Pandemic
Recognition Award.
These time-based RSU awards vest
50
% on the first anniversary of the grant date and
50
% on
the second anniversary of the grant date, based on the recipient’s continued service and subject to the terms
and
conditions of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, and are recorded directly as compensation
expense using a graded vesting
method.
The combination of the
20
% payout based on actual performance of the 2018 LTIP and the one-time
Special Pandemic Recognition Award granted in 2021 will generate a cumulative payout of
75
% of each recipient’s
original number of performance-based restricted stock units awarded in 2018
if the recipient satisfies the
two-year
vesting schedule commencing on the grant date.
Our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income reflect
pre-tax share-based compensation expense
of $
12
million ($
9
million after-tax) and $
13
million ($
10
million after-tax) for the three months ended March 26,
2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively.
Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards as of March 26, 2022 was $
134
million, which is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately
2.6
years.
Our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows present
our stock-based compensation expense
as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity.

reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating

activities for all periods presented.
In
the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows, there were
0
benefits associated with tax deductions in
excess of recognized compensation as a cash inflow from financing
activities for the three months ended March 26,
2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively.
The following weighted-average assumptions were used in determining
the most recent fair values of stock options
granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model:
2022
Expected dividend yield
0.0
%
Expected stock price volatility
27.20
%
Risk-free interest rate
2.20
%
Expected life of options (years)
6.00
We have not declared cash dividends on our stock in the past and we do not anticipate declaring cash dividends in
the foreseeable future.
The expected stock price volatility is based on implied volatilities
from traded options on
our stock, historical volatility of our stock, and other factors.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S.
Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant in conjunction with considering the expected life of options.
The
six-year expected life of the options was determined using the simplified
method for estimating the expected term
as permitted under SAB Topic 14.
Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or
the
value ultimately realized by recipients of stock options, and subsequent
events are not indicative of the
reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by us.

Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).

The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

• Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

• Level 2— Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

• Level 3— Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

The following section describes the fair values of our financial instruments and the methodologies that we used to measure their fair values.

Investments and notes receivable

There are no quoted market prices available for investments in unconsolidated affiliates and notes receivable; however, we believe the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the interest rates in the applicable markets.

Debt

The fair value of our debt (including bank credit lines) is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as of September 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 was estimated at $774.6 million and $699.0 million, respectively. Factors that we considered when estimating the fair value of our debt include market conditions, such as interest rates and credit spreads.

Derivative contracts

Derivative contracts are valued using quoted market prices and significant other observable and unobservable inputs. We use derivative instruments to minimize our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Our derivative instruments primarily include foreign currency forward agreements related to certain intercompany loans, certain forecasted inventory purchase commitments with foreign suppliers, foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of our euro-denominated foreign operations which are designated as net investment hedges and a total return swap for the purpose of economically hedging our unfunded non-qualified supplemental retirement plan and our deferred compensation plan.

The fair values for the majority of our foreign currency derivative contracts are obtained by comparing our contract rate to a published forward price of the underlying market rates, which is based on market rates for comparable transactions and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 14-Derivatives and Hedging Activities

for further information.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests

The values for Redeemable noncontrolling interests are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and are based on recent transactions and/or implied multiples of earnings. See Note 7–Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

for additional information.

Note 10Business Acquisitions

Acquisitions

We completed acquisitions during the nine months ended September 25, 2021 which were immaterial to our financial statements. The acquisitions that we completed included companies within our health care distribution and technology and value-added services segments. The initial ownership interest we acquired in these companies ranged from approximately 51% to 100%. Acquisitions within our health care distribution segment included companies that specialize in the distribution and manufacturing of dental and medical products, a provider of home medical supplies, and a provider of product kitting and sterile packaging. Within our technology and value-added services segment, we acquired companies that focus on dental marketing and website solutions, practice transition services, and business analytics and intelligence software.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value, as of the date of acquisition, of consideration paid and net assets acquired for acquisitions during the nine months ended September 25, 2021. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value those assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill within our consolidated balance sheets.

The major classes of assets and liabilities that we generally allocate purchase price to, excluding goodwill, include identifiable intangible assets (i.e., trademarks and trade names, customer relationships and lists, non-compete agreements and product development), property, plant and equipment, deferred income taxes and other current and long-term assets and liabilities. The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based on critical judgments and assumptions derived from analysis of market conditions, including discount rates, projected revenue growth rates, estimated customer attrition and projected cash flows. These assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.

Certain prior owners of acquired subsidiaries are eligible to receive additional purchase price cash consideration if certain financial targets are met. We have accrued liabilities for the estimated fair value of additional purchase price consideration at the time of the acquisition. Any adjustments to these accrual amounts are recorded in our consolidated statements of income. For the nine months ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, there were no material adjustments recorded in our consolidated statements of income relating to changes in estimated contingent purchase price liabilities.

Note 13 – Income Taxes

Forforeign currency translation loss during the ninethree months ended September 25, 2021 our effective tax rate was 24.2% compared to 20.0% for the prior year period. The difference between our effective tax ratesMarch

26, 2022 and the federal statutory tax rate for the ninethree months ended September 25, March 27,
2021 primarily relates to state and foreign income taxes, interest expense and tax charges and credits associated with legal entity reorganizations. The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 was primarily due to a U.S. federal income tax settlement reached during the third quarter, which lowered income tax expenseimpacted by approximately $15.6 million, as well as state and foreign income taxes and interest expense.

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) was signed into law on March 11, 2021. The ARPA included a corporate income tax provision to further limit the deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) for tax years starting after December 31, 2026. Section 162(m) generally limits the deductibility of compensation paid to covered employees of publicly held corporations. Covered employees include the CEO, CFO and the three highest paid officers. The ARPA expands the group of covered employees to additionally include five of the highest paid employees.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes, but is not limited to, certain income tax provisions that modify the Section 163(j) limitation of business interest and net operating loss carryover and carryback rules. We have analyzed the income tax provisions of the CARES Act and have accounted for the impact in the nine months ended September 26, 2020, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. There are certain other non-income tax benefits available to us under the CARES Act that require further clarification or interpretation that may affect our consolidated financial statements in the future.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, which are included in “Other liabilities” within our consolidated balance sheets, as of September 25, 2021 was approximately $79.0 million, of which $64.3 million would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. It is possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months, which may result in a material impact on our consolidated statements of income.

The tax years subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions include years 2017 and forward by the U.S Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) as well as the years 2008 and forward for certain states and certain foreign jurisdictions. All tax returns audited by the IRS are officially closed through 2016. During the quarter ended June 26, 2021 we reached a resolution with the Appellate Division for all remaining outstanding issues for 2012 and 2013. The resolution did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. We reached a settlement with the U.S. Competent Authority to resolve certain transfer pricing issues related to 2012 and 2013 in the quarter ended December 28, 2019. During the quarter ended September 26, 2020 we finalized negotiations with the Advance Pricing Division and reached an agreement on an appropriate transfer pricing methodology for the years 2014-2025. The objective of this resolution was to mitigate future transfer pricing audit adjustments. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we reached a favorable resolution with the IRS relating to select audit years.

The total amounts of interest and penalties are classified as a component of the provision for income taxes. The amount of tax interest credits were approximately $(2.2) million for the nine months ended September 25, 2021, and $(1.1) million for the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The total amount of accrued interest is included in “Other liabilities,” and was approximately $11.7 million as of September 25, 2021 and $14.0 million as of December 26, 2020. NaN penalties were accrued for the periods presented.

Note 14Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to market risks as well as changes in foreign currency exchange rates as measured against the U.S. dollar and each other, and changes to the credit risk

of the derivative counterparties. We attempt to minimize these risks by primarily using foreign currency forward contractsEuro, British Pound, Brazilian
Real, Australian Dollar and by maintaining counter-party credit limits. These hedging activities provide only limited protection against currency exchange and credit risks. Factors that could influence the effectiveness of our hedging programs include currency markets and availability of hedging instruments and liquidity of the credit markets. All foreign currency forward contracts that we enter into are components of hedging programs and are entered into for the sole purpose of hedging an existing or anticipated currency exposure. We do not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes and we manage our credit risks by diversifying our counterparties, maintaining a strong balance sheet and having multiple sources of capital.

During 2019 we entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of our euro-denominated foreign operations which are designated as net investment hedges. These net investment hedges offset the change in the U.S. dollar value of our investment in certain euro-functional currency subsidiaries due to fluctuating foreign exchange rates. Gains and losses related to these net investment hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss within our consolidated balance sheets. Amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness are included in interest expense within our consolidated statements of income. The aggregate notional value of this net investment hedge, which matures on November 16, 2023, is approximately €200 million. During the three months ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, we recognized approximately $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of interest savings as a result of this net investment hedge. During the nine months ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, we recognized approximately $3.3 and $3.6 million, respectively, of interest savings as a result of this net investment hedge.

On March 20, 2020, we entered into a total return swap for the purpose of economically hedging our unfunded non-qualified supplemental retirement plan (“SERP”) and our deferred compensation plan (“DCP”). This swap will offset changes in our SERP and DCP liabilities. At the inception, the notional value of the investments in these plans was $43.4 million. At September 25, 2021, the notional value of the investments in these plans was $86.0 million. At September 25, 2021, the financing blended rate for this swap was based on LIBOR of 0.08% plus 0.47%, for a combined rate of 0.55%. For the three months and nine months ended September 25, 2021, we have recorded a gain, within the selling, general and administrative line item in our consolidated statement of income, of approximately $2.0 million and $10.1 million, respectively, net of transaction costs, related to this undesignated swap. For the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2020, we have recorded a gain, within the selling, general and administrative line item in our consolidated statement of income, of approximately $3.8 million and $14.2 million, respectively, net of transaction costs, related to this undesignated swap. This swap is expected to be renewed on an annual basis after its current expiration date of March 29, 2022, and is expected to result in a neutral impact to our results of operations.

Fluctuations in the value of certain foreign currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar may positively or negatively affect our revenues, gross margins, operating expenses and retained earnings, all of which are expressed in U.S. dollars. Where we deem it prudent, we engage in hedging programs using primarily foreign currency forward contracts aimed at limiting the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on earnings. We purchase short-term (i.e., generally 18 months or less) foreign currency forward contracts to protect against currency exchange risks associated with intercompany loans due from our international subsidiaries and the payment of merchandise purchases to our foreign suppliers. We do not hedge the translation of foreign currency profits into U.S. dollars, as we regard this as an accounting exposure, not an economic exposure. Our hedging activities have historically not had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, additional disclosures related to derivatives and hedging activities required by ASC 815 have been omitted.

Note 15 – Stock-Based Compensation

Our accompanying consolidated statements of income reflect pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of $27.5 million ($20.9 million after-tax) and $57.7 million ($43.8 million after-tax) for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2021, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 we recorded pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of $5.7 million ($4.1 million after-tax) and a credit of $6.6 million ($5.3 million after-tax), respectively. The $6.6 million credit for stock-based compensation during the nine months ended September 26, 2020 reflected our reduced estimate in expected achievement of performance-based targets resulting from the impact of COVID-19.

Our accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows present our stock-based compensation expense (credit) as an adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities for all periods presented. In the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows, there were 0 benefits associated with tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation as a cash inflow from financing activities for the nine months ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively.

Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees and non-employee directors. We measure stock-based compensation at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and recognize the cost (net of estimated forfeitures) as compensation expense over the requisite service period. Our stock-based compensation expense is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income.

Stock-based awards are provided to certain employees and non-employee directors under the terms of our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan and our 2015 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan (together, the “Plans”). The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). Historically, equity-based awards have been granted solely in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). However, beginning in 2021, our equity-based awards have been granted in the form of RSUs and non-qualified stock options.

Grants of RSUs are stock-based awards granted to recipients with specified vesting provisions. In the case of RSUs, common stock is generally delivered on or following satisfaction of vesting conditions. We issue RSUs that vest solely based on the recipient’s continued service over time (primarily four-year cliff vesting, except for grants made under the 2015 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan, which are primarily 12-month cliff vesting), and RSUs that vest based on our achieving specified performance measurements and the recipient’s continued service over time (primarily three-year cliff vesting). For these RSUs, we recognize the cost as compensation expense on a straight-line basis.

During the three months ended March 27, 2021, as a result of the continuing economic risk and uncertainty resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Compensation Committee decided to adjust the form of awards granted under our 2021 long-term incentive program for our 2021 fiscal year in a manner that focuses on our long-term value by granting stock options and time-based RSUs rather than performance-based RSUs. Stock options are awards that allow the recipient to purchase shares of our common stock at a fixed price following vesting of the stock options. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to our closing stock price on the date of grant. Stock options issued during 2021 vest one-third per year based on the recipient’s continued service, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plans, are fully vested three years from the grant date and have a contractual term of ten years from the grant date, subject to earlier termination of the term upon certain events. Compensation expense for these stock options is recognized using a graded vesting method. We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

In addition to equity-based awards under the 2021 long-term incentive program under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee granted a Special Pandemic Recognition Award under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan to recipients of performance-based RSUs under the 2018 long-term incentive program. These time-based RSU awards will vest 50% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date, based on the recipient’s continued service and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plans, and are recorded as compensation expense using a graded vesting method.

With respect to time-based RSUs, we estimate the fair value on the date of grant based on our closing stock price at time of grant. With respect to performance-based RSUs, the number of shares that ultimately vest and are received by the recipient is based upon our performance as measured against specified targets over a specified period, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Although there is no guarantee that performance targets will be achieved, we estimate the fair value of performance-based RSUs based on our closing stock price at time of grant.

The Plans provide for adjustments to the performance-based restricted stock units targets for significant events, including, without limitation, acquisitions, divestitures, new business ventures, certain capital transactions (including share repurchases), restructuring costs, if any, certain litigation settlements or payments, if any, changes in accounting principles or in applicable laws or regulations, changes in income tax rates in certain markets and foreign exchange fluctuations. Over the performance period, the number of shares of common stock that will ultimately vest and be issued and the related compensation expense is adjusted upward or downward based upon our estimation of achieving such performance targets. The ultimate number of shares delivered to recipients and the related compensation cost recognized as an expense will be based on our actual performance metrics as defined under the Plans.

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards as of September 25, 2021 was $85.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.2 years.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used in determining the most recent fair values of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model:

Expected dividend yield

0.0

%

Expected stock price volatility

27.00

%

Risk-free interest rate

0.97

%

Expected life of options (years)

6.00

We have not declared cash dividends on our stock in the past and we do not anticipate declaring cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The expected stock price volatility is based on implied volatilities from traded options on our stock, historical volatility of our stock, and other factors. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant in conjunction with considering the expected life of options. The six year expected life of the options was determined using the simplified method for estimating the expected term as permitted under SAB Topic 14. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by recipients of stock options, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by us.

On October 9, 2020, the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, Case No. CACE19018882, granted Henry Schein’s motion to dismiss the claims brought against it in the action filed by North Broward Hospital District et. al. The Florida court gave plaintiffs until November 24, 2020 to replead their claims against Henry Schein, and plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On January 8,March 27, 2021, Henry Schein filed
we had a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On September 20, 2021, the Florida court denied Henry Schein’s motion to dismiss. At this time, the only case set for trial is the action filed by DCH Health Care Authority, et al. in Alabama state court, which is currently scheduled for a liability jury trial on plaintiffs’ public nuisance claims on July 18, 2022. Of Henry Schein’s 2020 revenue of approximately $10.1 billion from continuing operations, sales of opioids represented less than one-tenth of 1 percent. Opioids represent a negligible part of our business. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against these actions.

On September 30, 2019, the City of Hollywood Police Officers Retirement System, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint for violation of the federal securities laws against Henry Schein, Inc., Covetrus, Inc., and Benjamin Shaw and Christine Komola (Covetrus’s then Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Case No. 2:19-cv-05530-FB-RLM.

On February 5, 2021, Jack Garnsey filed a putative shareholder derivative action on behalf of Covetrus, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, naming as defendants Benjamin Shaw, Christine T. Komola, Steven Paladino, Betsy Atkins, Deborah G. Ellinger, Sandra L. Helton, Philip A. Laskaway, Mark J. Manoff, Edward M. McNamara, Ravi Sachdev, David E. Shaw, Benjamin Wolin, and Henry Schein, Inc., with Covetrus, Inc. named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties under state law in connection with the same allegations asserted in the City of Hollywood securities class action described above and further alleges that Henry Schein aided and abetted such breaches. The complaint also asserts claims for contribution under the federal securities laws against Henry Schein and other defendants, also arising out of the allegations in the City of Hollywood lawsuit. The complaint seeks declaratory, injunctive, and monetary relief. A second similar complaint, Stegmann v. Wolin, was filed in the same court on March 30, 2021, which did not name the Company as a defendant. We expect a consolidated amended complaint to be filed andPlaintiffs have agreed to dismiss Henry Schein from the consolidated amended complaint without prejudice; we expect the parties to submit a proposed order to the Court reflecting this agreement.

From time to time, we may become a party to other legal proceedings, including, without limitation, product liability claims, employment matters, commercial disputes, governmental inquiries and investigations (which may in some cases involve our entering into settlement arrangements or consent decrees), and other matters arising out of the ordinary course of our business. While the results of any legal proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty, in our opinion none of these other pending matters are currently anticipated to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

As of September 25, 2021, we had accrued our best estimate of potential losses relating to claims that were probable to result in liability and for which we were able to reasonably estimate a loss. This accrued amount, as well as related expenses, was not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our method for determining estimated losses considers currently available facts, presently enacted laws and regulations and other factors, including probable recoveries from third parties.

Note 1816 – Related Party Transactions

On February 7, 2019 (the “Distribution Date”), we completed the separation (the “Separation”) and subsequent merger (“Merger”) of our animal health business (the “Henry Schein Animal Health Business”) with Direct Vet Marketing, Inc. (d/b/a Vets First Choice, “Vets First Choice”). This was accomplished by a series of transactions among us, Vets First Choice, Covetrus, Inc. (f/k/a HS Spinco, Inc. “Covetrus”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ours prior to the Distribution Date, and HS Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Covetrus. In connection with the Separation, we contributed, assigned and transferred to Covetrus certain applicable assets, liabilities and capital stock or other ownership interests relating to the Henry Schein Animal Health Business. On the Distribution Date, we received a tax-free distribution of $1,120 million from Covetrus pursuant to certain debt financing incurred by Covetrus. On the Distribution Date and prior to the Animal Health Spin-off, Covetrus issued shares of Covetrus common stock to certain institutional accredited investors for $361.1 million (the “Share Sale”). The proceeds of the Share Sale were paid to Covetrus and distributed to us. Subsequent to the Share Sale, we distributed, on a pro rata basis, all of the shares of the common stock of Covetrus held by us to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 17, 2019 (the “Animal Health Spin-off”).

In connection with the completion of the Animal Health Spin-off during our 2019 fiscal year, we entered into a transition services agreement with Covetrus under which we agreed to provide certain transition services for up to twenty-four months in areas such as information technology, finance and accounting, human resources, supply chain, and real estate and facility services. Services provided under this transition services agreement ended in December 2020. During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, we recorded approximately $3.9 million and $12.7 million, respectively, of fees for these services. Covetrus also purchased certain products from us pursuant to the transition services agreement, which ended in December 2020. During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, net sales to Covetrus were approximately $24.8 million and $66.0 million, respectively.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created
significant volatility and disruption of global financial markets. In response, many countries implemented business closures and restrictions, stay-at-home and social distancing ordinances and similar measures to combat the pandemic, which significantly impacted global business and dramatically reduced demand for dental products and certain medical productsmarkets in the second quarter of 2020.Demand increased in the second half of
2020 and has continued into the third quarter of 2021 resulting in growth over the prior year driven by sales of PPE and COVID-19 related products.

Our consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by us that affect, among other things, our goodwill, long-lived asset and indefinite-lived intangible asset valuation; inventory valuation; equity investment valuation; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of deferred income taxes and income tax contingencies; the allowance for doubtful accounts; hedging activity; vendor rebates; measurement of compensation cost for certain share-based performance awards and cash bonus plans; and pension plan assumptions. Due to the significant uncertainty surrounding the future impact of COVID-19, our judgments regarding estimates and impairments could change in the future. In addition, the2021.

The impact of COVID-19 had a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows in the
second quarter of 2020.
In the
latter half of the second quarter of 2020, dental and medical practices began
to re-open worldwide, and continued to
do so during the second half of 2020.
During the first nine months ofyear ended December 25, 2021, patient traffic levels returned to
levels approaching pre-pandemic levels.
Demand for dental products and certain medical products throughout 2021
was driven by sales of PPE, COVID-19 test kits and other COVID-19
related products.
During the three months
ended March 26, 2022, with the exception of COVID-19 test kits, we experienced
a decrease in the sales volume of
PPE and COVID-19 related products.
During the three months ended March 26, 2022,
as a result of an increase in COVID-19 variants, primarily in
Europe and to a lesser extent in North America, we experienced lower dental
patient traffic, which began to
increase as the quarter progressed.
Although some COVID-19 restrictions are still in place in parts of Europe,
we
expect these markets to recover but at a slower pace.
In contrast to our dental business, during the three months
ended March 26, 2022, our medical business benefited from an increase
in sales volume of COVID-19 test kits and
point-of-care diagnostics.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions
made by us that affect, among
other things, our goodwill, long-lived asset and definite-lived intangible
asset valuation; inventory valuation; equity
investment valuation; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of
deferred income taxes and income
tax contingencies; the allowance for doubtful accounts; hedging activity;
supplier rebates; measurement of
compensation cost for certain share-based performance awards and cash bonus
plans; and pension plan
assumptions.
Due to the significant uncertainty surrounding the future impact of
COVID-19, our judgments
regarding estimates and impairments could change in the future.
There is an ongoing risk that the COVID-19
pandemic may again have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
and cash flows and may
result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.
However, the extent of the potential
impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Recently the federal government has issued executive orders for government contractors regarding COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The federal government has also indicated that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration intends to issue regulations concerning vaccine mandates for employers. In addition, state governments and some customers have also issued vaccine requirements for workers in their jurisdictions or who may service their accounts, and some state regulations contradict the federal vaccine mandates. Also, at this time, it remains unclear whether international jurisdictions will impose vaccine mandates or additional COVID-19 regulations. It is possible that a significant number of our employees have not been vaccinated, and in the event of a vaccine mandate some of those employees may seek exemptions or otherwise resist vaccination. The imposition of vaccine mandates could potentially cause labor shortages if employees refuse to get vaccinated and their employment is terminated, either voluntarily or involuntarily. Such labor shortages could reduce our sales and/or affect our ability to fulfill customer orders, impacting our revenue and profitability. Furthermore, managing and tracking vaccination status and ongoing testing for exempt and/or unvaccinated employees could potentially increase our costs, as could addressing inconsistent mandates. COVID-19 vaccine mandates and similar regulations have the potential to significantly adversely affect our business, as the nature and effect of such mandates are uncertain at this time.

Executive-Level Overview

Henry Schein, Inc. is a solutions company for health care professionals powered
by a network of people and
technology.
We believe we are the world’s largest
provider of health care products and services primarily to office-based
office-
based dental and medical practitioners, as well as alternate sites of care.
We serve more than one million customers
worldwide including dental practitioners, and laboratories, and physician practices,
and ambulatory surgery centers, as well
as government, institutional health care clinics and other alternate care clinics.
We believe that we have a strong
brand identity due to our more than 8889 years of experience distributing health
care products.

We are headquartered in Melville, New York,
employ more than 21,000nearly 22,000 people (of which more than 10,300 approximately 10,600
are
based outside of the United States) and have operations or affiliates in 32 countries
and territories, including the United States, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

territories.

Our broad
global footprint has evolved over time through our organic success as well as
through contribution from strategic
acquisitions.
29
We have established strategically located distribution centers around the world to enable us to better serve our
customers and increase our operating efficiency.
This infrastructure, together with broad product and service
offerings at competitive prices, and a strong commitment to customer service,
enables us to be a single source of
supply for our customers’ needs. Our infrastructure also allows us to provide convenient ordering and rapid, accurate and complete order fulfillment.

While our primary go-to-market strategy is in our capacity as a distributor, we also manufacture certain
dental
specialty products and solutions in the areas of implants, orthodontics
and endodontics.
We have achieved scale in
these global businesses primarily through acquisitions as manufacturers
of these products typically do not utilize a
distribution channel to serve customers.

We conduct our business through two reportable segments: (i) health care distribution and (ii) technology and
value-added services.
These segments offer different products and services to the same customer base.

Our global
dental businesses serve office-based dental practitioners, dental laboratories, schools
and other institutions.
Our
global medical businesses serve office-based medical practitioners, ambulatory
surgery centers, other alternate-care
settings and other institutions.
The health care distribution reportable segment aggregates our global
dental and medical operating segments.
This
segment distributes consumable products, small equipment, laboratory
products, large equipment, equipment repair
services, branded and generic pharmaceuticals, vaccines, surgical products, dental
specialty products (including
implant, orthodontic and endodontic products), diagnostic tests, infection-control
products, PPE and vitamins. Our global dental business serves office-based dental practitioners, dental laboratories, schools and other institutions. Our global medical business serves office-based medical practitioners, ambulatory surgery centers, other alternate-care settings and other institutions.

Our global technology and value-added services business provides software,
technology and other value-added
services to health care practitioners.
Our technology business offerings include practice management software
systems for dental and medical practitioners.
Our value-added practice solutions include practice consultancy,
education, revenue cycle management and financial services on a non-recourse
basis, e-services, practice
technology, network and hardware services, as well as consulting, and continuing education services for
practitioners.

A key element to grow closer to our customers is our One Schein initiative, which
is a unified go-to-market
approach that enables practitioners to work synergistically with our supply chain,
equipment sales and service and
other value-added services, allowing our customers to leverage
the combined value that we offer through a single
program.
Specifically, One Schein provides customers with streamlined access to our comprehensive offering of
national brand products, our private label products and proprietary specialty
products and solutions (including
implant, orthodontic and endodontic products).
In addition, customers have access to a wide range of services,
including software and other value-added services.

Industry Overview

In recent years, the health care industry has increasingly focused on cost containment.
This trend has benefited
distributors capable of providing a broad array of products and services at
low prices.
It also has accelerated the

35


Table of Contents

growth of HMOs, group practices, other managed care accounts and collective

buying groups, which, in addition to
their emphasis on obtaining products at competitive prices, tend to
favor distributors capable of providing
specialized management information support.
We believe that the trend towards cost containment has the potential
to favorably affect demand for technology solutions, including software, which can
enhance the efficiency and
facilitation of practice management.

Our operating results in recent years have been significantly affected by strategies
and transactions that we
undertook to expand our business, domestically and internationally, in part to address significant changes
in the
health care industry, including consolidation of health care distribution companies, health care reform, trends
toward managed care, cuts in Medicare and collective purchasing arrangements.

Our current and future results have been and could be impacted by
the COVID-19 pandemic, the current economic
environment and continued economic and public health uncertainty.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in
early 2020, we have been carefully monitoring its impact on our global
operations and have taken appropriate steps
30
to minimize the risk to our employees.
We have seen and expect to continue to see changes in demand trends for
some of our products and services, supply chain challenges and labor
challenges, as rates of infection fluctuate, new
strains or variants of COVID-19 emerge and spread, vaccine uptake and mandates
increase and change,
governments adapt their approaches to combatting the virus (including
without limitation, vaccine mandates), and
local conditions change across geographies.
For example, vaccine mandates affecting our workforce, whether
imposed through government regulations or contracts with governmental authorities
or other customers, could
potentially cause staffing shortages if employees choose not to comply as well as
other consequences to our
business or operations, managing and tracking vaccination status and ongoing
testing for exempt employees could
potentially increase our costs, as could addressing inconsistent federal and state COVID-19
vaccination mandates.
As a result, we
expect to see continued volatility through at least the duration of the pandemic.

Industry Consolidation

The health care products distribution industry, as it relates to office-based health care practitioners, is fragmented
and diverse.
The industry ranges from sole practitioners working out
of relatively small offices to group practices
or service organizations ranging in size from a few practitioners to a large number of practitioners who have
combined or otherwise associated their practices.

Due in part to the inability of office-based health care practitioners to store and manage
large quantities of supplies
in their offices, the distribution of health care supplies and small equipment to office-based health
care practitioners
has been characterized by frequent, small quantity orders, and a need for
rapid, reliable and substantially complete
order fulfillment.
The purchasing decisions within an office-based health care practice are typically
made by the
practitioner or an administrative assistant.
Supplies and small equipment are generally purchased from more
than
one distributor, with one generally serving as the primary supplier.

The trend of consolidation extends to our customer base.
Health care practitioners are increasingly seeking to
partner, affiliate or combine with larger entities such as hospitals, health systems, group practices or physician
hospital organizations.
In many cases, purchasing decisions for consolidated groups
are made at a centralized or
professional staff level; however, orders are delivered to the practitioners’ offices.

We believe that consolidation within the industry will continue to result in a number of distributors, particularly
those with limited financial, operating and marketing resources, seeking
to combine with larger companies that can
provide growth opportunities.
This consolidation also may continue to result in distributors seeking
to acquire
companies that can enhance their current product and service offerings or provide
opportunities to serve a broader
customer base.

Our trend with regard to acquisitions and joint ventures has been to expand
our role as a provider of products and
services to the health care industry.
This trend has resulted in our expansion into service areas that complement
our
existing operations and provide opportunities for us to develop synergies with, and
thus strengthen, the acquired businesses.

36


Table of Contents

businesses.

As industry consolidation continues, we believe that we are positioned

to capitalize on this trend, as we believe we
have the ability to support increased sales through our existing infrastructure,
although there can be no assurances
that we will be able to successfully accomplish this.
We also have invested in expanding our sales/marketing
infrastructure to include a focus on building relationships with decision
makers who do not reside in the office-basedoffice-
based practitioner setting.

As the health care industry continues to change, we continually evaluate possible
candidates for merger and joint venture or
acquisition and intend to continue to seek opportunities to expand our
role as a provider of products and services to
the health care industry.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully pursue
any such
opportunity or consummate any such transaction, if pursued.
If additional transactions are entered into or
consummated, we would incur merger and/or acquisition-related costs, and
there can be no assurance that the
integration efforts associated with any such transaction would be successful.
In response to the COVID-19
pandemic, we had taken a range of actions to preserve cash, including
the temporary suspension of significant
31
acquisition activity.
During the second half of 2020, as global conditions improved, we resumed
our acquisition
strategy.

Aging Population and Other Market Influences

The health care products distribution industry continues to experience growth
due to the aging population,
increased health care awareness, the proliferation of medical technology
and testing, new pharmacology treatments,
and expanded third-party insurance coverage, partially offset by the effects of unemployment on insurance
coverage. In addition, the physician market continues to benefit from the shift
of procedures and diagnostic testing
from acute care settings to alternate-care sites, particularly physicians’
offices.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Data Base,Database, in 2021 there were more than six and a half million
Americans aged 85 years or older, the segment of the population most in need of long-term care
and elder-care
services. By the year 2050, that number is projected to nearly triple to approximately
19 million. The population
aged 65 to 84 years is projected to increase by approximately 32% during
the same time period.

As a result of these market dynamics, annual expenditures for health
care services continue to increase in the
United States.
We believe that demand for our products and services will grow while continuing to be impacted by
current and future operating, economic, and industry conditions. The Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services,
or CMS, published “National Health Expenditure Projections 2019-2028”Data” indicating
that total national health care spending reached
approximately $3.8$4.1 trillion in 2019,2020, or 17.7%19.7% of the nation’s gross domestic product, the benchmark
measure for
annual production of goods and services in the United States.
Health care spending is projected to reach
approximately $6.2 trillion in 2028, approximately 19.7% of the
nation’s projected gross domestic product.
The
latest projections begin after the latest historical year (2018)2018 and go through
2028. These projections do not take into
account the impacts of COVID-19 because of the timing of the report and
the highly uncertain nature of the
pandemic.

Government

Certain of our businesses involve the distribution, importation, exportation,
marketing and sale of, and third party
payment for, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and in this regard, we are subject to extensive
local, state,
federal and foreign governmental laws and regulations, including
as applicable to our wholesale distribution of
pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and as part of our specialty home medical
supply business that distributes and
sells medical equipment and supplies directly to patients.
The federal government and state governments have also
increased enforcement activity in the health care sector, particularly in areas of fraud and abuse, anti-bribery
and
corruption, controlled substances handling, medical device regulations and
data privacy and security standards.

In addition, certain of our businesses must operate in compliance with
a variety of burdensome and complex billing
and record-keeping requirements in order to substantiate claims for payment under
federal, state and commercial
healthcare reimbursement programs.
One of these businesses was recently suspended by CMS from
receiving
payments from Medicare, although it is permitted to continue to perform
and bill for Medicare services.
The
amounts billed are being deposited in an escrow account pending resolution
of an audit.
The Company has not
recognized revenue for these services and has currently deferred slightly over $8
million in revenue (including $4
million deferred during the three months ended March 26, 2022 and slightly
over $4 million deferred during the
three months ended December 25, 2021).
Government and private insurance programs fund a large portion of the total cost of medical
care, and there have
been efforts to limit such private and government insurance programs, including efforts,
thus far unsuccessful, to
seek repeal of the entire United States Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,
as amended by the Health Care
and Education Reconciliation Act, each enacted in March 2010, as amended. (as amended,
the “ACA”).
In addition, activities to
control medical costs, including laws and regulations lowering reimbursement
rates for pharmaceuticals, medical devices,

37


Table of Contents

devices and/or medical treatments or services, are ongoing.

Many of these laws and regulations are subject to
change and their evolving implementation may impact our operations and
our financial performance.

32
Our businesses are also generally subject to numerous other laws and regulations that could
impact our financial performance, including securities, antitrust, consumer protection, anti-bribery
and anti-kickback, customer interaction transparency, data privacy, data security, government contracting, price gouging, and other laws and regulations.

Failurefailure to comply with lawsuch laws or regulations could have a

material adverse effect on our business.
A more detailed discussion of governmental laws and regulations
is included in Management’s Discussion &
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 26, 2020,25, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 17, 2021.

Plans of Restructuring

On November 20, 2019, we committed to a contemplated restructuring

initiative intended to mitigate stranded costs
associated with the Animal Health Spin-offspin-off of our animal health business and to rationalize operations
and to provide expense
efficiencies.
These restructuring activities were originally expected to be completed by the end of 2020. In light of the changes to the business environment brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, we extended such activities to the end ofin 2021.

During the three months ended SeptemberMarch 27, 2021, we recorded restructuring
costs of $3 million.
As of March 26,
2022 and December 25, 2021, and September 26, 2020, we recordedthe remaining accrued balance for restructuring
costs (credits) of $(0.2)was $3 million and $7.0 million. During the nine months ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, we recorded restructuring costs of $3.4$4 million, and $27.7 million. The restructuring costs (credits) for these periods included costs (credits) for severance benefits and facility exit costs. The costs (credits) associated with these restructurings are included in a separate line item, “Restructuring costs (credits)” within our consolidated statements of income.

We are currently unable in good faith to make a determination of an estimate of the amount or range of amounts expected to be incurred in connection with these activities in 2021, both with respect to each major type of cost associated therewith and with respect to the total cost, or an estimate of the amount or range of amounts that will result in future cash expenditures.

As a result of an
increase in COVID-19 variants, primarily in Europe and to a lesser extent
in North America, our dental
merchandise growth was impacted by lower patient traffic, which began to increase as the
quarter progressed.
Dental equipment sales increased in both our North American and international

attributable to increased demand and strong order backlog.

As a result of different practices of categorizing costs associated with distribution networks
throughout our
industry, our gross margins may not necessarily be comparable to other distribution companies.
Additionally, we
realize substantially higher gross margin percentages in our technology and value-added services
segment than in
our health care distribution segment.
These higher gross margins result from being both the developer and seller of
software products and services, as well as certain financial services.
The software industry typically realizes higher
gross margins to recover investments in research and development.

During December 2020, our previous transition services agreement with Covetrus, in connection with the completion of the Animal-Health Spin-off, concluded. Under this agreement, Covetrus had agreed to purchase certain products from us at a mark-up that ranged from 3% to 6% of our product cost to cover handling costs.

Within our health care distribution segment, gross profit margins may vary from one period to the next.
Changes in
the mix of products sold as well as changes in our customer mix have been
the most significant drivers affecting
our gross profit margin.
For example, sales of pharmaceutical products are generally at lower gross profit margins than other products. Conversely, sales of our private label products achieve
gross profit margins that are
higher than average. average total gross profit margins of all products.
With respect to customer mix, sales to our large-grouplarge-
group customers are typically completed at lower gross margins due to the higher
volumes sold as opposed to the
gross margin on sales to office-based practitioners, who normally purchase lower volumes at
greater frequencies.

Health care distribution gross profit increased $147.3$68 million, or 22.6%8.6%, primarily
due to the increase in net sales
discussed above. Health care distribution gross profit margin increased primarily due to lower adjustments recorded for PPE inventory. Such adjustments to inventory may recur and adversely impact gross profit margins in future periods, although we do not expect further material inventory adjustments in 2021. The increasein
In addition, health care distribution gross profit margin is also attributable to an increase in vendorbenefitted from supplier rebates

The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the three months
ended September 25, 2021 was primarily due to state and foreign taxes, interest expense and tax charges and credits associated with legal entity reorganizations. The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the three months ended September 26, 2020 was primarily due to a U.S federal income tax settlement, reached during the third quarter of 2020, which lowered income tax expense by approximately $15.6 million, as well as state and foreign income taxes and interest expense.

Gain on Sale of Equity Investment

In the third quarter of 2021 we received contingent proceeds of $9.8 million from the 2019 sale of Hu-Friedy resulting in the recognition of an additional after-tax gain of $7.3 million.

The 30.4% increase in net sales includes an increase of 28.1% in local currency revenue (24.0% increase in internally generated revenue and 4.1% growth from acquisitions) and an increase of 2.3% related to foreign currency exchange. Excluding sales of products under the transition services agreement with Covetrus, our net sales increased 31.7%, including an increase in local currency revenue of 29.3% (25.2% increase in internally generated revenue and 4.1% growth from acquisitions) and an increase of 2.4% related to foreign currency exchange. We estimate that sales for the nine months ended September 25, 2021 of PPE and COVID-19 related products were approximately $1,304.0 million, an estimated increase of 68.9% versus the prior year. Excluding PPE and COVID-19 related products, the estimated increase in internally generated local currency sales excluding Corporate TSA revenues was 21.3%.

The 35.8% increase in dental net sales includes an increase of 32.0% in local currency revenue (27.2% increase in internally generated revenue and 4.8% growth from acquisitions) and an increase of 3.8% related to foreign currency exchange. The 32.0% increase in local currency sales was attributable to an increase in dental consumable merchandise revenue of 32.4% (26.5% increase in internally generated revenue and 5.9% growth from acquisitions), and an increase in dental equipment sales and service revenues of 30.5% (29.8% increase in internally generated revenue and 0.7% growth from acquisitions). The COVID-19 pandemic began to adversely impact our worldwide dental revenue beginning in mid-March of 2020 as many dental offices progressively closed or began seeing a limited number of patients. However, in the second half of the quarter ended JuneMarch 27, 2020 and continuing through the quarter ended September 26, 2020, patient traffic began to stabilize and approached pre-pandemic levels. The growth in dental revenues reflects this recovery. Additionally, we estimate that global dental sales for the nine months ended September 25, 2021 of PPE and COVID-19 related products were approximately $520.3 million, an estimated increase of 46.8% versus the prior year. Excluding PPE and COVID-19 related products, the estimated increase in internally generated local currency dental sales was 27.9%.

The 26.1% increase in medical net sales is attributable to an increase of 25.9% in local currency growth (23.7% increase in internally generated revenue and 2.2% growth from acquisitions) and an increase of 0.2% related to foreign currency exchange. Economic conditions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic have had less of an impact on the performance of our medical group versus dental, in part due to continued strong sales of PPE, such as masks, gowns and face shields, and other COVID-19 related products, such as diagnostic test kits. Globally, we estimate our medical business recorded sales of approximately $783.8 million sales of such PPE and other COVID-19 related products for the nine months ended September 25, 2021, an increase of approximately 87.6% compared to the prior year. Excluding PPE and other COVID-19 related products, the estimated increase in internally generated local currency medical sales was 10.7%.

The 23.5% increase in technology and value-added services net sales is attributable to an increase of 21.9% in local currency revenue (12.9% increase in internally generated revenue and 9.0% growth from acquisitions) and 1.6% related to foreign currency exchange. Sales growth was driven by our practice management business, as well as strong financial services revenue, which benefitted from dental equipment sales growth.

These higher gross margins result from being both the developer and seller of software products and services, as well as certain financial services. The software industry typically realizes higher gross margins to recover investments in research and development.

During December 2020, our previous transition services agreement with Covetrus, in connection with the completion of the Animal-Health Spin-off, concluded. Under this agreement, Covetrus had agreed to purchase certain products from us at a mark-up that ranged from 3% to 6% of our product cost to cover handling costs.

Within our health care distribution segment, gross profit margins may vary from one period to the next. Changes in the mix of products sold as well as changes in our customer mix have been the most significant drivers affecting our gross profit margin. For example, sales of our private label products achieve gross profit margins that are higher than average. With respect to customer mix, sales to our large-group customers are typically completed at lower gross margins due to the higher volumes sold as opposed to the gross margin on sales to office-based practitioners, who normally purchase lower volumes at greater frequencies.

Health care distribution gross profit increased $687.8 million, or 40.8% primarily due to the increase in net sales discussed above. Health care distribution gross profit margin increased to 27.6% from 25.9% primarily due to lower adjustments recorded for PPE inventory. Such adjustments to inventory may recur and adversely impact gross profit margins in future periods, although we do not expect further material inventory adjustments in 2021. The increase in the health care distribution gross profit margin is also attributable to an increase in vendor rebates during the first nine months of 2021 due to increased purchase volumes. The overall increase in our health care distribution gross profit is attributable to a $489.2 million increase in internally generated revenue, $119.1 million in gross profit due to the increase in the gross margin rates and $79.5 million additional gross profit from acquisitions.

Technology and value-added services gross profit increased $52.4 million, or 19.8%, attributable to an increase of $37.8 million in internally generated revenue and $22.1 million additional gross profit from acquisitions, partially offset by a $7.5 million decrease in gross profit. Technology and value-added services gross profit margin decreased to 68.5% from 70.6% primarily due to lower gross margins of recently acquired companies in the business services sector and certain transactions with the U.S. federal government.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (including restructuring costs) increased $441.2 million, or 27.6%. In the prior year, there were significant cost-saving measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These cost-saving measures were temporary and ended during the third quarter of 2020.

The $398.3 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses within our health care distribution segment was attributable to an increase of $349.8 million of operating costs and an increase of $72.3 million of additional costs from acquired companies, partially offset by a decrease of $23.8 million in restructuring costs. The $42.9million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses within our technology and value-added services segment was attributable to an increase of $24.5 million of operating costs and an increase of $19.0 million of additional costs from acquired companies, partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in restructuring costs. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 22.5% from 23.0%.

As a component of total selling, general and administrative expenses, selling expenses increased $231.9 million, or 23.8% to $ 1,205.7 million, primarily due to an increase in payroll and payroll related costs. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses decreased to 13.3% from 14.0%.

As a component of total selling, general and administrative expenses, general and administrative expenses increased $209.3 million, or 33.4% to $835.9 million, primarily due to an increase in payroll and payroll related costs. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.2% from 9.0%.

Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 25, 2021, our effective tax rate was 24.2% compared to 20.0% for the prior year period. The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the nine months ended September 25, 2021 was primarily due to state and foreign income taxes, interest expense and tax charges and credits associated with legal entity reorganizations. The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 was primarily due to a U.S federal income tax settlement, reached during the third quarter of 2020, which lowered income tax expense by approximately $15.6 million, as well as state and foreign income

taxes and interest expense.

Gain on Sale of Equity Investment

In the third quarter of 2021 we received contingent proceeds of $9.8 million from the 2019 sale of Hu-Friedy resulting in the recognition of an additional after-tax gain of $7.3 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal capital requirements have included funding of acquisitions, purchases
of additional noncontrolling
interests, repayments of debt principal, the funding of working capital needs,
purchases of fixed assets and
repurchases of common stock (which had been temporarily suspended
in March ofApril 2020, but were resumed during the three months ended in early
March 27, 2021).
Working capital requirements generally result from increased sales, special inventory forward buy-in
opportunities and payment terms for receivables and payables.
Historically, sales have tended to be stronger during
the second half of the year and special inventory forward buy-in opportunities
have been most prevalent just before
the end of the year, and have caused our working capital requirements to be higher from the end of the
third quarter
to the end of the first quarter of the following year.

The pandemic and the governmental responses to it had a material adverse effect on our cash flows in the second quarter of 2020. In the latter half of the second quarter of 2020 and continuing through year-end, dental and medical practices began to re-open worldwide. During the first nine months of 2021, patient traffic levels returned to levels approaching pre-pandemic levels. There is an ongoing risk that the COVID-19 pandemic may again have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows and may result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity. However, the extent of the potential impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

We finance our business primarily through cash generated from our operations, revolving credit facilities and debt
placements.
Please see
Note 7 – Debt
for further information.
Our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from
operations is dependent on the continued demand of our customers
for our products and services, and access to
products and services from our suppliers.

Our business requires a substantial investment in working capital, which
is susceptible to fluctuations during the
year as a result of inventory purchase patterns and seasonal demands.
Inventory purchase activity is a function of
sales activity, special inventory forward buy-in opportunities and our desired level of inventory.
We anticipate
future increases in our working capital requirements.

We finance our business to provide adequate funding for at least 12 months.
Funding requirements are based on
forecasted profitability and working capital needs, which, on occasion, may
change.
Consequently, we may change
our funding structure to reflect any new requirements.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, our ability to access private debt markets and public equity markets,
and our available funds under existing credit facilities provide us with
sufficient liquidity to meet our currently
foreseeable short-term and long-term capital needs. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Net cash from continuing operations provided by operating activities was $432.9$93 million for the nine
three months ended September 25, 2021,March 26, 2022, compared to
net cash from continuing operations provided by operating activities of $248.4$63 million for the comparable
prior year period.
The net change of $184.5
$30 million was primarily attributable to higher net income partially offset by increased and decreased
working capital, requirements, specifically an increase a decrease
in inventories due to ongoing stockinginventory
levels of PPE and COVID-19 related products, and reduced accounts payablelevels

months ended September 25, 2021,March 26, 2022, compared to $94.0 $223
million for the comparable prior year period.
The net change of $385.0$196 million was primarily attributable to increased
decreased payments for equity investments and business acquisitions.

Net cash from continuing operations used in financing activities was $254.5$62 million for the nine three
months ended September 25, 2021,March 26, 2022, compared to net
cash provided byused in financing activities of $264.4$120 million for the comparable
prior year period.
The net change of $518.9 $58

Revolving Credit Agreement

On August 20, 2021, we entered into a new $1 billion revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). This facility, which matures on August 20, 2026, replaced our $750 million revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in April 2022. The interest rate is based on the USD LIBOR plus a spread based on our leverage ratio at the end of each financial reporting quarter. We expect most LIBOR rates to be discontinued immediately after December 31, 2021, while the remaining LIBOR rates will be discontinued immediately after June 30, 2023. We do not expect the discontinuation of LIBOR as a reference rate in our debt agreements to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or to materially affect our interest expense. The Credit Agreement also requires, among other things, that we maintain certain maximum leverage ratios. Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative covenants as well as customary negative covenants, subject to negotiated exceptions, on liens, indebtedness, significant corporate changes (including mergers), dispositions and certain restrictive agreements. As of September 25, 2021, and December 26, 2020, we had no borrowings under this revolving credit facility. As of September 25, 2021, and December 26, 2020, there were $9.1 million and $9.5 million of letters of credit, respectively, provided to third parties under the credit facility.

Leases

On April 17, 2020, we amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) modify the financial covenant from being based on total leverage ratio to net leverage ratio, (ii) adjust the pricing grid to reflect the net leverage ratio calculation, and (iii) increase the maximum maintenance leverage ratio through March 31, 2021.

364-Day Credit Agreement

On March 4, 2021, we repaid the outstanding obligations and terminated the lender commitments under our $700 million 364-day credit agreement, which was entered into on April 17, 2020. This facility was originally scheduled to mature on April 16, 2021.

Other Short-Term Credit Lines

As of September 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, we had various other short-term bank credit lines available, of which $59.4 million and $73.4 million, respectively, were outstanding. At September 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, borrowings under all of these credit lines had a weighted average interest rate of 7.42% and 4.14%, respectively.

Private Placement Facilities

Our private placement facilities, with three insurance companies, have a total facility amount of $1 billion, and are available on an uncommitted basis at fixed rate economic terms to be agreed upon at the time of issuance, from time to time through June 23, 2023. The facilities allow us to issue senior promissory notes to the lenders at a fixed rate based on an agreed upon spread over applicable treasury notes at the time of issuance. The term of each possible issuance will be selected by us and can range from five to 15 years (with an average life no longer than 12 years). The proceeds of any issuances under the facilities will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures, to refinance existing indebtedness, and/or to fund potential acquisitions. The agreements provide, among other things, that we maintain certain maximum leverage ratios, and contain restrictions relating to subsidiary indebtedness, liens, affiliate transactions, disposal of assets and certain changes in ownership. These facilities contain make-whole provisions in the event that we pay off the facilities prior to the applicable due dates.

On March 5, 2021, we amended the private placement facilities to, among other things, (a) modify the financial covenant from being based on a net leverage ratio to a total leverage ratio and (b) restore the maximum maintenance total leverage ratio to 3.25x and remove the 1.00% interest rate increase triggered if the net leverage ratio were to exceed 3.0x.

On October 20, 2021, we amended our three private placement facilities with insurance companies and entered into a fourth private placement facility with another insurance company, increasing the total facilities amount to $1.5

U.S. Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization

We have a facility agreement with a bank, as agent, based on the securitization of our U.S. trade accounts receivable that is structured as an asset-backed securitization program with pricing committed for up to three years. Our current facility, which has a purchase limit of $350 million, was scheduled to expire on April 29, 2022. On June 22, 2020, the expiration date for this facility was extended to June 12, 2023 and was amended to adjust certain covenant levels for 2020. As of September 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding under this securitization facility. At September 25, 2021, the interest rate on borrowings under this facility was based on the asset-backed commercial paper rate of 0.13% plus 0.95%, for a combined rate of 1.08%. At December 26, 2020, the interest rate on borrowings under this facility was based on the asset-backed commercial paper rate of 0.22% plus 0.95%, for a combined rate of 1.17%.

If our accounts receivable collection pattern changes due to customers either paying late or not making payments, our ability to borrow under this facility may be reduced.

We are required to pay a commitment fee of 25 to 45 basis points depending upon program utilization.

On October 20, 2021, we amended our U.S. trade accounts receivable securitization facility to increase the purchase limit to $450 million with two banks as agents and extend the expiration date to October 18, 2024.

Leases

We have operating and finance leases for corporate offices, office space, distribution and other facilities, vehicles,

and certain equipment.
Our leases have remaining terms of less than one year to
approximately 2019 years, some of
which may include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years.
As of September 25, 2021,March 26, 2022, our right-of-use assets
related to operating leases were $329.9$331 million and our current and non-current
operating lease liabilities were $77.4 $76
million and $270.2$277 million, respectively.

Changes in the estimated redemption amounts of the noncontrolling interests subjectWe intend to put options are adjusted at each reporting period with a corresponding adjustment to Additional paid-in capital. Future reductions in the carrying amounts are subject to a floor amount that is equal to the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests at the time they were originally recorded. The recorded value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests cannot go below the floor level. These adjustments do not impact the calculation of earnings per share.

Additionally, some prior owners of such acquired subsidiaries are eligible to receiveplace

an additional purchase price cash consideration if certain financial targets are met. Any adjustments to these accrual amounts are recorded in our consolidated statements of income. For the nine months ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, there were no material adjustments recorded in our consolidated statements of income relating to changes in estimated contingent purchase price liabilities.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent our less than 50% ownership interest in an acquired subsidiary. Our net income is reduced by the portion of the subsidiaries net income that is attributable to noncontrolling interests.

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and
estimates from those disclosed in Item
7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020, 25, 2021,
except accounting policies adopted
as of December 27, 2020,26, 2021, which are discussed in
Note 2-Critical Accounting Policies, Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included
under Item 1.

Our financial results for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 were affected by certain estimates we made due to the adverse business environment brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, in the quarter ended March 28, 2020 we recorded incremental bad debt reserves of approximately $10.0 million for our global dental business. During the quarter ended March 28, 2020, we also recognized a net credit of approximately $17.5 million in stock-based compensation expense due to our estimate that no performance shares granted in 2018, 2019 or 2020 would ultimately vest. For the quarter ended June 27, 2020, we continued to estimate that no such performance-based shares would ultimately vest. In contrast, for the nine months ended September 25, 2021, we recorded $57.7 million in stock-based compensation. Additionally, in the quarter ended March 28, 2020, we recorded total impairment charges of approximately $6.1 million related to prepaid royalty expenses and a customer relationship intangible asset. We had no material impairment charges in the quarter ended September 25, 2021. Although our selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 25, 2021 represent management's best estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts, our judgment could change in the future due to the significant uncertainty surrounding the macroeconomic effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including
our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report
as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Based
on this evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer,
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 25, 2021,March
26, 2022, to ensure that all
material information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file
or submit under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to them as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure and
that all such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The combination of acquisitions, continued acquisition integrations and systems integrationssystem
implementation undertakenduring the quarter
and carried over from prior quarters as well as changes to the operating methods of some of our internal controls over financial reporting due to the COVID-19 pandemic, when considered in the aggregate, represents
a material change in our internal
control over financial reporting.

During the quarterthree months ended September 25, 2021, we completed acquisitions of medical and dental businesses with combined aggregate annual revenues of approximately $165 million. In addition,March 26, 2022, post-acquisition integration
related activities continued for our
dental and medical and dental businesses acquired during prior quarters, representing aggregate annual revenues of approximately $280 million. quarters.
These acquisitions, the majority of which utilize
separate information and financial accounting systems, have been
included in our consolidated financial statements
since their respective dates of acquisition.

Also,

In addition, during the quarter ended September 25, 2021,March 26, 2022, we completed the
systems integrationimplementation activities to migrate existing systems to a new data center supporting certain
upgrade the warehouse management system for our Australian dental and medical businesses in Germany, Italy, Austria, and Benelux representing aggregate projected annual revenues of approximately $970 million.

business.
All acquisitions, continued acquisition integrations and system integrationssystems implementation involve
necessary and appropriate change-managementchange-
management controls that are considered in our quarterly assessment of
the design and operating effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting.

In addition, as a result of a combination of continued governmental imposed and Company directed closures of some of our facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had to maintain a number of changes to the operating methods of some of our internal controls. For example, moving from manual sign-offs and in-person meetings to electronic sign-offs and electronic communications such as email and telephonic or video conference due to out-of-office working arrangements. However, the design of our internal control framework and objectives over financial reporting remains unchanged and we do not believe that these changes have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the internal control system are met.
Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control
system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control
issues, if any, within a company
have been detected.

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Purchases of equity securities by the issuer

Our share repurchase program announced on March 3, 2003
, originally allowed us to repurchase up to two million
shares pre-stock splits (eight million shares post-stock splits) of our common
stock, which represented
approximately 2.3% of the shares outstanding at the commencement of
the program.
Subsequent additional
increases totaling $3.7$4.1 billion, authorized by our Board of Directors,
to the repurchase program provide for a total
of $3.8$4.2 billion of shares of our common stock to be repurchased under this
program.

On March 8, 2021, we announced the reinstatement of our share repurchase program.

As of September 25, 2021,March 26, 2022, we had repurchased approximately $3.9$4.0 billion of

common stock (79,082,135(81,068,993 shares) under
these initiatives, with $350.0$200 million available for future common stock
share repurchases.

The following table summarizes repurchases

During the fiscal quarter ended March 26, 2022, we did not repurchase
any shares of our common stock because we
had a 10b5-1 plan that did not result in any shares being repurchased during
the quarter.
We intend to put in place
an additional plan effective May 4, 2022.
The maximum number of shares that could be purchased under this program
is determined at the end of each month
based on the closing price of our common stock repurchase programat that time.
The maximum number of shares that could be
repurchased as of January 29, 2022, February 26, 2022, and March
26, 2022 were 2,642,010, 2,290,428 and
2,276,610, respectively.
