HENRY SCHEIN NEWS RELEASE Henry Schein, Inc. - 135 Duryea Road - Melville, New York 11747 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HENRY SCHEIN REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER RESULTS Diluted EPS increases 19% to $0.57 Company affirms 2008 financial guidance MELVILLE, N.Y. - May 6, 2008 - Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSIC), the largest provider of healthcare products and services to office-based practitioners in the combined North American and European markets, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 29, 2008. Net sales for the first quarter of 2008 were $1.5 billion, an increase of 16.4% compared with the first quarter of 2007. This increase includes 12.0% local currency growth (3.0% internally generated and 9.0% from acquisitions) and 4.4% related to foreign currency exchange. (See Exhibit A for details of sales growth.) The Company previously announced an initiative of reducing sales of certain lower-margin pharmaceutical products. Excluding sales of those products, internal net sales growth in local currencies was 5.4%. Net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $52.3 million or $0.57 per diluted share, up 20.3% and 18.8%, respectively, compared with the prior-year first quarter. "We are pleased with our earnings growth during the first quarter, which reflects the benefits of our diversified business model serving dental, medical and veterinary office practitioners in the U.S. and international markets," said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein. "Our International Group was a particularly strong contributor to both sales and earnings growth this quarter." Dental Group sales of $612 million increased 8.7%, including 7.2% growth in local currencies (5.5% internally generated and 1.7% from acquisitions) and 1.5% growth related to foreign currency exchange. Of the 7.2% local currency growth, Dental consumable merchandise sales increased 6.0% (4.3% internal growth and 1.7% acquisition growth) and Dental equipment sales and service revenues were up 11.1% (9.8% internal growth and 1.3% acquisition growth). "Double-digit growth in equipment sales and service revenues once again reflected gains in both traditional equipment and high-tech products," commented Mr. Bergman. "One of the Dental Group highlights during the quarter was initial sales of the E4D dental CAD/CAM product. This product is in its controlled launch period and feedback from dentists continues to be very encouraging." 1 - more -Medical Group sales of $335 million declined 3.7% (4.4% decline in internal growth and 0.7% acquisition growth). As mentioned, the Company previously announced an initiative of reducing sales of certain lower-margin pharmaceutical products. Excluding sales of those products, internal Medical net sales growth was 4.5%. "We have completed the Medical One World initiative, consolidating three Medical brands into one, and we are very pleased that there was virtually no sales erosion during the process," said Mr. Bergman. "With this consolidation behind us, we are excited to be implementing our integrated sales and marketing approach and look forward to bringing new products and value-added services to our Medical customers." For the quarter International Group sales of $540 million increased 45.5%, including 32.2% growth in local currencies (5.6% internally generated and 26.6% from acquisitions) and 13.3% related to foreign currency exchange. "International Group results featured strong internal sales growth in the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and New Zealand, bolstered by the contribution from our recent acquisition of W. & J. Dunlop, a leading United Kingdom animal health products supplier," added Mr. Bergman. "I am also delighted to report that Dunlops is performing above our expectations." Technology and Value-Added Services Group sales of $39 million increased 36.5%, including 35.9% growth in local currencies (10.2% internally generated and 25.7% acquisition growth) and 0.6% growth related to foreign currency exchange. "Strong organic growth in our electronic and financial services businesses contributed to very solid revenue growth in the quarter," stated Mr. Bergman. 2008 EPS Guidance Henry Schein affirms 2008 financial guidance, as follows: o 2008 diluted EPS is expected to be $2.93 to $3.00, representing growth of 14% to 16% compared with 2007. o This 2008 diluted EPS guidance includes Henry Schein's expectation that it will distribute 12 million to 15 million doses of influenza vaccine during the year, representing earnings of $0.13 to $0.16 per diluted share. o 2008 diluted EPS guidance is for current continuing operations including completed or previously announced acquisitions, and does not include the impact of potential future acquisitions, if any. 2 -more-
