FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 

HENRY SCHEIN REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Net sales increase 15%, or 10% in local currencies
Company raises low end of 2011 Guidance

MELVILLE, N.Y.  - August 2, 2011 - Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSIC), the largest provider of healthcare products and services to office-based practitioners, today reported record financial results for the quarter ended June 25, 2011.
Net sales for the second quarter of 2011 were $2.1 billion, an increase of 15.2% compared with the second quarter of 2010.  This consists of 10.1% growth in local currencies and 5.1% growth related to foreign currency exchange.  Internal sales growth in local currencies was 5.6% (see Exhibit A for details of sales growth).
Net income attributable to Henry Schein, Inc. for the second quarter of 2011 was $94.5 million or $1.01 per diluted share, an increase of 12.5% and 12.2%, respectively, compared with the second quarter of 2010.
“We are proud to report double-digit sales growth in local currencies during the second quarter, as each of our five business groups continued to gain market share,” said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein.
North American Dental sales of $709.3 million increased 4.7%, consisting of 4.0% growth in local currencies and 0.7% growth related to foreign currency exchange.  The 4.0% growth in local currencies included 4.8% growth in Dental consumable merchandise sales and 1.3% growth in Dental equipment sales and service revenues.
“The North American Dental group had internal sales growth in local currencies of 3.4%, which is the highest quarterly growth rate we have reported in nearly three years,” commented Mr. Bergman.  “Sales of Dental consumable merchandise have increased for eight consecutive quarters and Dental equipment sales and service revenues have increased for six consecutive quarters.  We view this as a positive indication of continued gradual improvement in the dental market and of our strength in that business.”

North American Medical sales of $317.3 million increased 10.8%.  “We are very pleased to report a second consecutive quarter of double-digit sales growth in our North American Medical business, and we believe that we continue to gain share in this market,” remarked Mr. Bergman.
North American Animal Health sales of $260.3 million increased 10.9%.  “We are delighted to be reporting internal sales growth of nearly 11% and believe our performance is well in excess of market growth.  We continue to drive sales by expanding the breadth and depth of our product offerings, and strengthening customer relationships,” commented Mr. Bergman.
International sales of $781.7 million increased 29.8%, consisting of 15.1% growth in local currencies and 14.7% growth related to foreign currency exchange.
“Solid International internal sales growth in local currencies during the quarter was complemented by the acquisition of Provet Holdings, which was completed at the beginning of this year.  As we expected, we saw a significant increase in sales of dental equipment in Europe, particularly in Germany, following the biennial IDS trade show in March.  This contributed to internal dental equipment growth of more than 4% in the second quarter for the International group as a whole,” added Mr. Bergman.
Technology and Value-Added Services sales of $62.1 million increased 28.3% during the quarter, consisting of 26.3% growth in local currencies and 2.0% growth related to foreign currency exchange.
“Our Technology and Value-Added Services group has posted double-digit sales growth in local currencies for five consecutive quarters, with growth in excess of 20% for the past three quarters,” explained Mr. Bergman.  “Second quarter results include particular strength in our electronic services and financial services businesses.”

Stock Repurchase Plan
The Company announced that it repurchased 71,338 shares of its common stock during the second quarter at an average price of $70.09 per share.  The impact of the repurchase of shares on second quarter diluted EPS was immaterial.  At the end of the second quarter, the Company had $67.9 million authorized for future repurchases of its common stock.

Year-to-Date Results
For the first half of 2011, net sales of $4.1 billion increased 13.0% compared with the first half of 2010.  This increase includes 10.0% growth in local currencies and 3.0% growth related to foreign currency exchange.

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: recently enacted healthcare legislation; effects of a highly competitive market; changes in the healthcare industry; changes in regulatory requirements; risks from expansion of customer purchasing power and multi-tiered costing structures; risks associated with our international operations; 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; risks from disruption to our information systems; general economic conditions; decreased customer demand and changes in vendor credit terms; disruptions in financial markets; our dependence upon sales personnel, manufacturers and customers; our dependence on our senior management; possible increases in the cost of shipping our products or other service issues with our third-party shippers; risks from rapid technological change; 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. 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-looking statements.
