NEWS RELEASE
Henry Schein, Inc. - 135 Duryea Road - Melville, New York 11747
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HENRY SCHEIN REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Sales increase 19% to $1.6 billion
Diluted EPS from continuing operations up 18% to $0.71
MELVILLE, N.Y. - August 5, 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 record
financial results for the quarter ended June 28, 2008.
Net sales for the second quarter of 2008 were $1.6 billion, an increase
of 18.6% compared with the second quarter of 2007. This increase includes 13.6%
local currency growth (4.0% internally generated and 9.6% from acquisitions) and
5.0% 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 6.6%.
Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2008 was
$65.5 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, up 20.3% and 18.3%, respectively,
compared with the prior-year second quarter. There was no impact from
discontinued operations on our 2008 results.
"Second quarter financial results reflect a strong contribution from
our International Group, as well as solid growth in our Dental Group," said
Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein.
"These results illustrate Henry Schein's ability to deliver consistent sales and
earnings growth."
Dental Group sales of $660 million increased 9.7%, including 8.7%
growth in local currencies (7.2% internally generated and 1.5% from
acquisitions) and 1.0% growth related to foreign currency exchange. Of the 8.7%
local currency growth, Dental consumable merchandise sales increased 7.9% (6.3%
internal growth and 1.6% acquisition growth) and Dental equipment sales and
service revenues were up 11.0% (9.9% internal growth and 1.1% acquisition
growth).
"Our Dental Group continues to gain market share in consumable
merchandise and in equipment," commented Mr. Bergman. "We recorded another
quarter of double-digit growth in equipment sales and service revenues,
highlighted by gains in high-tech products, including acceleration in sales of
the E4D CAD/CAM product compared with the first quarter."
Medical Group sales of $329 million declined 8.3% (8.9% decline in
internal growth and 0.6% acquisition growth). Excluding sales of certain lower-
margin pharmaceutical products, noted above, internal Medical Group net sales
growth was approximately 1%.
"With the progress we have made under the Medical One World initiative,
coupled with the growth we have seen in Privileges enrollment, we look forward
to capitalizing on future sales growth opportunities within our Medical Group,"
said Mr. Bergman. "We are also optimistic about the upcoming influenza vaccine
season, based on current market conditions and customer order activity."
For the quarter, International Group sales of $615 million increased
55.7%, including 39.7% growth in local currencies (10.9% internally generated
and 28.8% from acquisitions) and 16.0% related to foreign currency exchange.
"Our International Group reported strong growth in all major markets,
highlighted by solid Dental growth," added Mr. Bergman. "We are also pleased to
report that W. & J. Dunlop continues to perform above expectations."
Technology and Value-Added Services Group sales of $41 million
increased 29.0%, including 28.6% growth in local currencies (1.8% internally
generated and 26.8% acquisition growth) and 0.4% growth related to foreign
currency exchange.
"Results reflect good growth in electronic and financial services, as
well as last year's acquisition of Software of Excellence, a leading supplier of
innovative clinical and practice management solutions to dentists," stated Mr.
Bergman. "During the second quarter we launched Easy Dental 2008, offering
dentists increased functionality and improved productivity."
Year-to-Date Results
For the first six months of 2008, net sales of $3.2 billion represent
an increase of 17.6% compared with the first six months of 2007. This increase
includes 12.8% local currency growth (3.5% internally generated and 9.3% from
acquisitions) and 4.8% related to foreign currency exchange. Excluding sales of
certain lower-margin pharmaceutical products, noted above, internal net sales
growth was 6.0%. Income from continuing operations for the first six months of
2008 was $117.8 million, reflecting 20.4% growth compared with the prior year.
Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations of $1.28 for the first six
months of 2008 represents 18.5% growth over the comparable period in 2007.

Stock Repurchase Plan
Henry Schein announced that it repurchased 602,000 shares of common
stock during the second quarter of 2008 for a total purchase price of nearly
$32 million. Approximately $109 million remains authorized for future common
stock repurchases. The impact of the share repurchases during the quarter was
immaterial to diluted EPS.
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.

regarding important factors that, among others, could cause future results to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements, expectations and
assumptions expressed or implied herein. All forward-looking statements made by
us are subject to risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future
performance. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance
and achievements or industry results to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-
looking statements. These statements are identified by the use of such terms as
"may," "could," "expect," "intend," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "forecast,"
"project," "anticipate" or other comparable terms. A full discussion of our
operations and financial condition, including factors that may affect our
business and future prospects, is contained in documents we have filed with the
SEC and will be contained in all subsequent periodic filings we make with the
SEC. These documents identify in detail important risk factors that could cause
our actual performance to differ materially from current expectations.
Risk factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from current and historical results include, but are not limited to:
competitive factors; changes in the healthcare industry; changes in regulatory

fluctuations in quarterly earnings; our dependence on third parties for the
manufacture and supply of our products; transitional challenges associated with
acquisitions, including the failure to achieve anticipated synergies; financial
risks associated with acquisitions; regulatory and litigation risks; the
dependence on our continued product development, technical support and
successful marketing in the technology segment; our dependence upon sales
personnel and key customers; our dependence on our senior management; possible
increases in the cost of shipping our products or other service trouble with our
third-party shippers; risks from rapid technological change; risks from
potential increases in variable interest rates; possible volatility of the
market price of our common stock; certain provisions in our governing documents
that may discourage third-party acquisitions of us; and changes in tax
legislation that affect us. The order in which these factors appear should not
be construed to indicate their relative importance or priority.
We caution that these factors may not be exhaustive and that many of these
factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Accordingly, any forward-
looking statements contained herein should not be relied upon as a prediction of
actual results. We undertake no duty and have no obligation to update forward-
