Forward Guidance

Henry Schein expects 2023 sales growth to be approximately 1% to 3% over 2022. Sales of PPE products are expected to decline about 20% to 25%, and COVID-19 test kits are expected to decrease by approximately 65% to 70% from 2022. 2023 non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be $5.18 to $5.35.

Positive Outlook

  • 2023 sales growth is expected to be approximately 1% to 3% over 2022, unchanged from prior guidance.
  • 2023 guidance reflects high single-digit to low double-digit growth in non-GAAP operating income over 2022 when excluding the contribution from PPE products and COVID-19 test kits, and acquisition-related expenses.
  • The company expects to see continued growth in its core Medical business, although at a slower pace than the previous year.
  • The Technology and Value-Added Services business had an excellent quarter, driven by the strength of Henry Schein One.
  • The company is executing well on its BOLD +1 Strategic Plan, and the underlying fundamentals of its core business remain solid.

Challenges Ahead

  • 2023 sales of PPE products are expected to decline about 20% to 25%, unchanged from prior guidance.
  • 2023 sales of COVID-19 test kits are now expected to decrease by approximately 65% to 70% from 2022 versus prior guidance for a decrease of approximately 35% to 40%.
  • 2023 non-GAAP operating margin is expected to be 10 to 15 basis points below 2022 non-GAAP operating margin of 8.2%, largely a result of lower PPE products and COVID-19 test kit sales and profits, and acquisition-related expenses.
  • The non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance includes $0.05 to $0.10 dilution from the Biotech Dental acquisition, primarily due to non-cash acquisition accounting adjustments for inventory and acquisition-related expenses.
  • The impact on 2023 non-GAAP diluted EPS from lower contributions to earnings from sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits is estimated to be $0.35 to $0.40, unchanged from prior guidance.
