Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Henry
Schein, Inc. and all of our
controlled subsidiaries (“we”, “us” or “our”).
All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated
in
consolidation.
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates in which we have the ability to influence
the operating or
financial decisions are accounted for under the equity method.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation.
These reclassifications, individually and in the aggregate, did
not
have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial
statements.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial
statements contained in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and with the information
contained in our other publicly-
available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated results of operations and
financial position for the interim periods presented.
All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United
States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The results of
operations for the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be
expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December
30, 2023.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and
assumptions made by us that affect, among
other things, our goodwill, long-lived asset and definite-lived intangible
asset valuation; inventory valuation; equity
investment valuation; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of
deferred income taxes and income
tax contingencies; the allowance for doubtful accounts; hedging activity;
supplier rebates; measurement of
compensation cost for certain share-based performance awards and cash bonus
plans; and pension plan
assumptions.
We consolidate the results of operations and financial position of a trade accounts receivable securitization which
we consider a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) because we are the primary beneficiary, and we have the power to
direct activities that most significantly affect the economic performance and have
the obligation to absorb the
majority of the losses or benefits.
For this VIE, the trade accounts receivable transferred to the VIE
are pledged as
collateral to the related debt.
The creditors have recourse to us for losses on these trade accounts
receivable.
At
July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, certain trade accounts receivable that
can only be used to settle obligations of
this VIE were $
78
327
million, respectively, and the liabilities of this VIE where the creditors have
recourse to us were $
60
255
