                       HENRY SCHEIN REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER
                 DILUTED EPS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS OF $0.59

MELVILLE, N.Y. - February 22, 2006 - Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC), the
largest provider of healthcare products and services to office-based
practitioners in the combined North American and European markets, today
reported financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2005.
         Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2005 were $1.34 billion, an
increase of 16.2% from the fourth quarter of 2004 (See Exhibit A for details of
sales growth).  This increase includes 18.4% local currency growth (13.5%
internally generated and 4.9% from acquisitions) offset by a 2.2% decline
related to foreign currency exchange.  The fourth quarter of 2005 included an
additional week compared with the fourth quarter of 2004.  The Company estimates
that the extra week accounted for approximately 5% to 6% of net sales growth.
         Fourth quarter income from continuing operations was $52.5 million, up
78.4% compared with the fourth quarter of 2004, and earnings per diluted share
from continuing operations were $0.59, up 78.8% compared with the prior-year
quarter.  Excluding a one-time charge in the fourth quarter of 2004 of $8.4
million after tax, fourth quarter 2005 income and earnings per diluted share
from continuing operations grew by 38.9% and 37.2% respectively (See Exhibit B
for details).
         "Our excellent fourth quarter results cap off a year of solid financial
performance by Henry Schein.  We are pleased to report record quarterly net
sales that reflect market share gains in our Dental, Medical and International
businesses, which were further bolstered by strategic acquisitions," commented
Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein.
         For the quarter, Dental sales increased 17.4%, including 17.1% growth
in local currencies (12.2% internally generated and 4.9% from acquisitions) and
0.3% related to foreign currency exchange.  Of the 17.1% local currency growth,
Dental consumable merchandise sales increased

                                    - more -



15.9% (11.0% internal growth and 4.9% acquisition growth) and Dental equipment
sales and service revenues were up 20.0% (15.0% internal growth and 5.0%
acquisition growth).  Internal sales growth in Dental consumable merchandise and
in equipment sales and service revenues was augmented by the acquisitions of Ash
Temple in Canada and Barton-Cyker in the United States.
         Medical sales increased 20.8% during the fourth quarter (19.6% internal
growth and 1.2% acquisition growth), reflecting an acceleration of growth from
recent quarters.  Medical sales other than influenza vaccine sales increased
13.2% (11.9% internal growth and 1.3% acquisition growth).  Medical sales for
the 2005 fourth quarter reflect the resumption of distribution of Chiron's
Fluvirin(R) influenza vaccine.  The Company sold 3.7 million doses of Fluvirin
during the quarter, which was at the high end of its estimate of 2 million to
4 million doses.
         For the quarter, International sales increased 10.3%, including 18.5%
growth in local currencies (9.3% internally generated and 9.2% from
acquisitions) offset by a 8.2% decline related to foreign currency exchange.
Internal sales growth was bolstered by the acquisitions of the Demedis
operations in Austria, Halas Dental in Australia and Shalfoon Bros. in New
Zealand.
         Technology and Value-Added Services sales were 4.7% ahead of prior
year, including 4.5% growth in local currencies (all internal) and 0.2% related
to foreign currency exchange.  Electronic services revenues continued a strong
double-digit growth trend.
         On November 3, 2005, Henry Schein celebrated its 10-year anniversary as
a publicly traded company.  Commenting on this milestone, Mr. Bergman said,
"Among our reasons for pursuing an initial public offering was to provide
funding for future growth, and as measured by any number of metrics, our growth
during the past decade has been impressive.  To cite just a couple of examples
of our financial performance, since 1995 our net sales have grown at a compound
annual growth rate of slightly more than 22%, rising seven-fold from $616
million in 1995 to $4.6 billion in 2005.
         "The 10-year income from continuing operations compound annual growth
rate was even higher, at 33%," he continued.  "Income from continuing operations
during this period rose 18-fold, from $9 million in 1995 to $162 million in
2005.  And our earnings per diluted share, which stood at a split-adjusted $0.35
in 1995, reached $1.82 per share in 2005 as we reported today, representing a
10-year compound annual growth rate of 18%."
         The Company noted that all 1995 financial data does not reflect
subsequent restatements for pooling of interest transactions and excludes
certain proforma adjustments.

Stock Repurchase Plan
        In June 2004 and again in November 2005 the Company announced share
repurchase programs of up to $100 million worth of common stock each, under
which 632,000 shares were


                                        2
                                     -more-



repurchased during the fourth quarter at an average price of $39.81 per share.
The impact of the repurchase of shares under this program on fourth quarter
diluted EPS was immaterial.

2006 EPS Guidance
         Henry Schein affirms 2006 financial guidance, as first announced on
November 28, 2005, as follows:

    o    2006 diluted EPS is expected to be $2.20 to $2.26, excluding the impact
         of expensing stock options per Financial Accounting Standards No.
         123(R), which the Company estimates to be $0.12 per diluted share.
    o    Diluted EPS growth is expected to be in the low double digits
         percentage range for the first half of 2006, and then to accelerate for
         the second half of the year due to the impact of seasonal influenza
         vaccine sales and the timing of certain expenses.
    o    This 2006 diluted EPS guidance includes Henry Schein's expectations
         that it will distribute approximately 15 million to 17 million doses of
         influenza vaccine during 2006, including product manufactured by
         GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals (which includes the former ID Biomedical),
         Chiron Corporation and sanofi pasteur.
    o    All guidance is for current continuing operations including completed
         acquisitions, and does not include the impact of potential future
         acquisitions.

Fourth Quarter Conference Call Webcast
         The Company will hold a conference call to discuss fourth quarter
financial results today, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time.  Individual
investors are invited to listen to the conference call over the Internet through
Henry Schein's Web site at www.henryschein.com.  In addition, a replay will be
available beginning shortly after the call has ended.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures: The above information includes financial measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The above table reconciles operating income from continuing operations, net income and diluted earnings per share, the Company's most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to comparable amounts as adjusted to eliminate the effect of a one-time item. Management eliminated the effect of such one-time item to assist in evaluating the underlying operational performance of the Company's business, excluding such one-time item, over the periods presented. Management believes that this presentation is appropriate and facilitates such an evaluation by management, investors and analysts. This measure should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Note: Prior periods adjusted to reflect the effect of our discontinued operations. 9 -more-
