Basis of Presentation [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
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” and “our”).
 
All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.
 
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates for which we have the ability to influence
 
the operating or
financial decisions are accounted for under the equity method.
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 30, 2023 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 months ended March 30, 2024 are not necessarily
 
indicative of the results to be expected
for any other interim period or for the year ending December 28, 2024.
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 VIE because we are its primary beneficiary, as we have the power to direct activities that most
significantly affect its economic performance and have the obligation to absorb the
 
majority of its losses or
benefits.
 
For this VIE, the trade accounts receivable transferred
 
to the VIE are pledged as collateral to the related
debt.
 
The VIE’s creditors have recourse to us for losses on these trade accounts receivable.
 
At March 30, 2024 and
December 30, 2023, certain trade accounts receivable that can only be used
 
to settle obligations of this VIE were
$
497
 
million and $
284
 
million, respectively, and the liabilities of this VIE where the creditors have recourse to us
were $
300
 
million and $
210
 
million, respectively.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting
 
Standards
Significant Accounting Policies
 
There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies during
 
the three months ended March
30, 2024, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Item
 
8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-
K for the year ended December 30, 2023.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2023-09, “
Income Taxes (Topic
 
740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
,” which requires public
business entities to disclose additional information in specified categories with
 
respect to the reconciliation of the
effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state and foreign income taxes.
 
It also requires greater detail
about individual reconciling items in the rate reconciliation to the extent
 
the impact of those items exceeds a
specified threshold.
 
In addition to new disclosures associated with the rate reconciliation,
 
the ASU requires
information pertaining to taxes paid (net of refunds received) to be
 
disaggregated for federal, state and foreign taxes
and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions to the extent the
 
related amounts exceed a quantitative threshold.
 
The ASU also describes items that need to be disaggregated based on
 
their nature, which is determined by reference
to the item’s fundamental or essential characteristics, such as the transaction or event that triggered the
establishment of the reconciling item and the activity with which the reconciling
 
item is associated.
 
The ASU
eliminates the historic requirement that entities disclose information concerning
 
unrecognized tax benefits having a
reasonable possibility of significantly increasing or decreasing in the 12
 
months following the reporting date.
 
This
ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024.
 
Early adoption is permitted for annual
financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available
 
for issuance.
 
This ASU should be applied on a
prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted.
 
We are currently evaluating the impact that
ASU 2023 – 09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “
Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable
Segments
,” which aims to improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure
 
of incremental segment information
on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to
 
develop more decision-useful financial
analyses.
 
Currently, Topic
 
280 requires that a public entity disclose certain information about its
 
reportable
segments.
 
For example, a public entity is required to report a measure of
 
segment profit or loss that the chief
operating decision maker uses to assess segment performance and
 
make decisions about allocating resources.
 
Topic 280 also requires other specified segment items and amounts, such as depreciation, amortization, and
depletion expense, to be disclosed under certain circumstances.
 
The amendments in this ASU do not change or
remove those disclosure requirements and do not change how a public
 
entity identifies its operating segments,
aggregates those operating segments or applies the quantitative thresholds
 
to determine its reportable segments.
 
This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim
 
periods within fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2024.
 
Early adoption is permitted.
 
We do not expect that the requirements of ASU
2023 – 07 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial
 
statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, “
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope
Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards,
” which clarifies how to determine whether a profit interest and
similar awards should be accounted for as a share-based payment arrangement
 
under Topic 718 or within the scope
of other guidance.
 
The ASU provides an illustrative example with multiple fact patterns
 
and amends the structure
of paragraph 718-10-15-3 of Topic 718 to improve its clarity and operability.
 
The guidance in ASU 2024-01
applies to all entities that issue profits interest awards as compensation
 
to employees or nonemployees in exchange
for goods or services.
 
Entities can apply the amendments either retrospectively to
 
all periods presented in the
financial statements or prospectively to profits interest awards granted
 
or modified on or after the date of adoption.
 
If prospective application is elected, an entity must disclose the nature
 
of and reason for the change in accounting
principle that resulted from the adoption of the ASU.
 
This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
 
We do not expect that the requirements of
ASU 2024 – 01 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial
 
statements.

Cyber Incident [Abstract]  
Cyber Incident
Note 3 – Cyber Incident
In October 2023 Henry Schein experienced a cyber incident that primarily
 
affected the operations of our North
American and European dental and medical distribution businesses.
 
Henry Schein One, our practice management
software, revenue cycle management and patient relationship management
 
solutions business, was not affected, and
our manufacturing businesses were mostly unaffected.
 
On November 22, 2023, we experienced a disruption of our
ecommerce platform and related applications, which has since been
 
remediated.
During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we continued
 
to experience a residual impact of the cyber events
noted above relating primarily to decreased sales to episodic customers (customers
 
that had generally registered a
less continuous level of demand pre-incident).
During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we incurred $
5
 
million of expenses directly related to the cyber
incident, mostly consisting of professional fees.
 
We maintain cyber insurance, subject to certain retentions and
policy limitations.
 
With respect to the October 2023 cyber incident, we have a $
60
 
million insurance policy,
following a $
5
 
million retention.

–
Segment Data
We conduct our business through
two
 
reportable segments: (i) health care distribution and (ii) technology
 
and
value-added services.
 
These segments offer different products and services to the same customer base.
 
Our global
dental businesses serve office-based dental practitioners, dental laboratories, schools, government
 
and other
institutions.
 
Our medical businesses serve physician offices, urgent care centers, ambulatory care sites,
 
emergency
medical technicians, dialysis centers, home health, federal and state governments
 
and large enterprises, such as
group practices, and integrated delivery networks, among other providers
 
across a wide range of specialties.
 
Our
dental and medical groups serve practitioners in
33
 
countries worldwide.
The health care distribution reportable segment aggregates our global dental
 
and medical operating segments.
 
This
segment distributes consumable products, dental specialty products (including

Note 6
 
–
Business Acquisitions
Our acquisition strategy is focused on investments in companies that
 
add new customers and sales teams, increase
our geographic footprint (whether entering a new country, such as emerging markets, or building scale where we
have already invested in businesses), and finally, those that enable us to access new products and technologies.
2024 Acquisitions
During the quarter ended March 30, 2024, we made acquisitions within
 
the technology and value-added services
segment.
 
Our acquired ownership interest in these companies was
100
%.
 
Total consideration for these acquisitions
was $
19
 
million.
 
Net assets acquired primarily consisted of $
8
 
million of goodwill and $
12
 
million of intangible
assets.
 
The intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships
 
and lists of $
6
 
million, product
development of $
4
 
million, trademarks and tradenames of $
1
 
million and non-compete agreements of $
1
 
million.
 
Weighted average useful lives for these acquired intangible assets were
10
 
years,
10
 
years,
5
 
years and
5
 
years,
respectively.
Goodwill is a result of the expected synergies and cross-selling opportunities that
 
these acquisitions are expected to
provide for us, as well as the expected growth potential.
 
The majority of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax
purposes.
The impact of these acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, was
 
not considered material to our condensed
consolidated financial statements.
2023 Acquisitions
Acquisition of Shield Healthcare
On October 2, 2023 we acquired a
90
% voting equity interest in Shield Healthcare, Inc. (“Shield”), a supplier
 
of
homecare medical products delivered directly to patients in their homes, for
 
preliminary consideration of $
366
million (including cash paid of $
307
 
million, deferred consideration of $
22
 
million and redeemable noncontrolling
interests of $
37
 
million).
 
Based in California, Shield expands our existing medical business
 
by delivering a diverse
range of products, including items such as incontinence, urology, ostomy, enteral nutrition, advanced wound care
and diabetes supplies.
 
Additionally, Shield offers continuous glucose monitoring devices directly to patients in
their homes.
The accounting for the acquisition of Shield has not been completed
 
in several respects, including but not limited to
finalizing valuation assessments of accounts receivable, inventory, accrued liabilities and income and non-income
based taxes.
 
To assist in the allocation of consideration, we engaged valuation specialists to determine the fair
value of intangible and tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
 
We will finalize the amounts recognized as
the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained.
 
During the quarter ended March 30, 2024, we
recorded immaterial measurement period adjustments, related primarily
 
to operating leases.
 
The pro forma financial information has not been presented because the
 
impact of the Shield acquisition was
immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.
Acquisition of S.I.N. Implant System
On July 5, 2023, we acquired a
100
% voting equity interest in S.I.N. Implant System (“S.I.N.”) for consideration
 
of
$
329
 
million.
 
Based in São Paulo, S.I.N. manufactures an extensive line of products
 
to perform dental implant
procedures and is focused on advancing the development of value-priced dental
 
implants.
 
S.I.N. recently expanded
the distribution of its products into the United States and other international
 
markets.
The accounting for the acquisition of S.I.N. has not been completed
 
in several respects, including but not limited to
finalizing valuation assessments of accounts receivable, inventory, accrued liabilities and income and non-income
based taxes.
 
To assist in the allocation of consideration, we engaged valuation specialists to determine the fair
value of intangible and tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
 
We will finalize the amounts recognized as
the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained.
 
We expect to finalize these amounts as soon as
possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
 
During the quarter ended March 30, 2024, we
recorded insignificant measurement period adjustments, related primarily
 
to deferred tax adjustments.
The pro forma financial information has not been presented because the
 
impact of the S.I.N. acquisition was
immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.
Acquisition of Biotech Dental
On April 5, 2023, we acquired a
57
% voting equity interest in Biotech Dental (“Biotech Dental”), which
 
is a
provider of dental implants, clear aligners, individualized prosthetics
 
and innovative digital dental software based in
France.
 
Biotech Dental has several important solutions for dental practices
 
and dental labs, including Nemotec, a
comprehensive, integrated suite of planning and diagnostic software
 
using open architecture that connects disparate
medical devices to create a digital view of the patient, offering greater diagnostic
 
accuracy and an improved patient
experience.
 
The integration of Biotech Dental’s software with Henry Schein One’s industry-leading practice
management software solutions will help customers streamline their
 
clinical as well as administrative workflow for
the ultimate benefit of patients.
The following table aggregates the final fair value, as of the date of acquisition,

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements
Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
 
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
 
The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between
(1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained
 
from independent sources (observable
inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best
information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the
 
highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority
 
to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
•
 
Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
 
or liabilities that are accessible at the
measurement date.
•
 
Level 2— Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
 
observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly.
 
Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities
 
in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets
 
that are not active; inputs other than quoted
prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are
 
derived principally from or corroborated by
observable market data by correlation or other means.
•
 
Level 3— Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.
 
The following section describes the fair values of our financial instruments
 
and the methodologies that we used to
measure their fair values.
 
Investments and notes receivable
There are no quoted market prices available for investments in unconsolidated
 
affiliates and notes receivable.
 
Certain of our notes receivable contain variable interest rates.
 
We believe the carrying amounts are a reasonable
estimate of fair value based on the interest rates in the applicable
 
markets.
 
Our investments and notes receivable
fair value is based on Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.
 
Debt
The fair value of our debt (including bank credit lines, current maturities
 
of long-term debt and long-term debt) is
based on Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, and as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023 was
estimated at $
2,377
 
million and $
2,351
 
million, respectively.
 
Factors that we considered when estimating the fair
value of our debt include market conditions, such as interest rates and credit
 
spreads.
Derivative contracts
Derivative contracts are valued using quoted market prices and
 
significant other observable inputs.
 
Our derivative
instruments primarily include foreign currency forward agreements, forecasted
 
inventory purchase commitments,
foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and total return swaps.
The fair values for the majority of our foreign currency derivative contracts
 
are obtained by comparing our contract
rate to a published forward price of the underlying market rates, which
 
are based on market rates for comparable
transactions that are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the interest rate swap, which is classified within Level 2
 
of the fair value hierarchy, is determined
by comparing our contract rate to a forward market rate as of the
 
valuation date.
 
The fair value of total return swaps is determined by valuing the underlying
 
exchange traded funds of the swap
using market-on-close pricing by industry providers as of the valuation
 
date that are classified within Level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests
The values for redeemable noncontrolling interests are based on recent
 
transactions and/or implied multiples of
earnings that are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Assets measured on a non-recurring basis at fair value include intangibles.
 
Inputs for measuring intangibles are
classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents our assets and liabilities that are measured and
 
recognized at fair value on a recurring
basis classified under the appropriate level of the fair value hierarchy as of
 
March 30, 2024 and December 30,
2023:

Revolving Credit Agreement
On
August 20, 2021
, we entered a $
1.0
 
billion revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”)
which was subsequently amended and restated on
July 11, 2023
 
to extend the maturity date to
July 11, 2028
 
and
update the interest rate provisions to reflect the current market approach
 
for a multicurrency facility.
 
The interest
rate on this revolving credit facility is based on Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) plus a
spread based on our leverage ratio at the end of each financial reporting
 
quarter.
 
As of March 30, 2024 the interest
rate on this revolving credit agreement was
5.32
% plus
1.10
% for a combined rate of
6.42
%.
 
The Revolving Credit
Agreement requires, among other things, that we maintain certain maximum
 
leverage ratios.
 
Additionally, the
Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties
 
and affirmative covenants as well as
customary negative covenants, subject to negotiated exceptions, on
 
liens, indebtedness, significant corporate
changes (including mergers), dispositions and certain restrictive agreements.
 
As of March 30, 2024 and December
30, 2023, we had $
50
 
million and $
200
 
million in borrowings, respectively under this revolving credit facility.
 
During the three months ended March 30, 2024, the average outstanding balance
 
under the Revolving Credit
Agreement was approximately $
100
 
million.
 
As of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, there were $
10

10
 
million of letters of credit, respectively, provided to third parties under this Revolving Credit
Agreement.
Other Short-Term Bank Credit
 
Lines
As of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, we had various other short-term
 
bank credit lines available, in
various currencies, with a maximum borrowing capacity of $
383
 
million and $
368
 
million, respectively.
 
As of
March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, $
214
 
million and $
64
 
million, respectively, were outstanding.
 
During the
three months ended March 30, 2024, the average outstanding balances under
 
our various other short-term bank
credit lines was approximately $
96
 
million.
 
At March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, borrowings under

are available on an uncommitted basis at fixed rate economic
 
terms to be agreed upon at the time of issuance, from
time to time through
October 20, 2026
.
 
The facilities allow us to issue senior promissory notes to the lenders
 
at a
fixed rate based on an agreed upon spread over applicable treasury notes
 
at the time of issuance.
 
The term of each
possible issuance will be selected by us and can range from
five
 
to
15 years
 
(with an average life no longer than
12
years
).
 
The proceeds of any issuances under the facilities will be used
 
for general corporate purposes, including
working capital and capital expenditures, to refinance existing indebtedness,
 
and/or to fund potential acquisitions.
 
The agreements provide, among other things, that we maintain
 
certain maximum leverage ratios, and contain
restrictions relating to subsidiary indebtedness, liens, affiliate transactions, disposal
 
of assets and certain changes in
ownership.
 
These facilities contain make-whole provisions in the event that we
 
pay off the facilities prior to the
applicable due dates.

Term Loan
On July 11, 2023, we entered into a
three-year
 
$
750
 
million term loan credit agreement (the “Term Credit
Agreement”).
 
The interest rate on this term loan is based on the Term SOFR plus a spread based on our leverage
ratio at the end of each financial reporting quarter.
 
This term loan matures on July 11, 2026.
 
We are required to make quarterly payments of $
5
 
million from September 2023 through June 2024 and quarterly
payments of $
9
 
million from September 2024 through June 2026, with the remaining balance
 
due in July 2026.
 
As
of March 30, 2024, the borrowings outstanding under this term loan were
 
$
736
 
million.
 
At March 30, 2024, the
interest rate under the Term Credit Agreement was
 
5.32
% plus
 
1.47
% for a combined rate of
 
6.79
%.
 
As of
December 30, 2023, the borrowings outstanding under this term loan were
 
$
741
 
million.
 
At December 30, 2023,
the interest rate under the Term Credit Agreement was
5.36
% plus
1.35
% for a combined rate of
6.71
%.
 
However,
we have a hedge in place that ultimately creates an effective fixed rate of
5.91
% and
5.79
% at March 30, 2024 and
December 30, 2023, respectively.
 
The Term Credit Agreement requires, among other things, that we maintain
certain maximum leverage ratios.
 
Additionally, the Term
 
Credit Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties and affirmative covenants as well as customary negative covenants, subject
 
to negotiated exceptions, on
liens, indebtedness, significant corporate changes (including mergers), dispositions
 
and certain restrictive
agreements.
 
U.S. Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization
We have a facility agreement based on our U.S. trade accounts receivable that is structured as an asset-backed
securitization program with pricing committed for up to
three years
.
 
This facility agreement has a purchase limit of
$
450
 
million with
two
 
banks as agents, and expires on
December 15, 2025
.
As of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the borrowings outstanding
 
under this securitization facility were
$
300
 
million and $
210
 
million, respectively.
 
At March 30, 2024, the interest rate on borrowings under
 
this facility
was based on the asset-backed commercial paper rate of
5.47
% plus
0.75
%, for a combined rate of
6.22
%.
 
At
December 30, 2023, the interest rate on borrowings under this facility was
 
based on the asset-backed commercial
paper rate of
5.67
% plus
0.75
%, for a combined rate of
6.42
%.
If our accounts receivable collection pattern changes due to customers
 
either paying late or not making payments,
our ability to borrow under this facility may be reduced.
We are required to pay a commitment fee of
30
 
to
35
 
basis points depending upon program utilization.

Income Taxes
Note 9 – Income Taxes
 
 
 
For the three months ended March 30, 2024 our effective tax rate was
25.6
%, compared to
23.8
% for the prior year
period.
 
The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate primarily
 
relates to state and
foreign income taxes and interest expense.
The Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) issued
 
technical and administrative
guidance on Pillar Two Model Rules in December 2021, which provides for a global minimum tax rate on the
earnings of large multinational businesses on a country-by-country basis.
 
Effective January 1, 2024, the minimum
global tax rate is 15% for various jurisdictions pursuant to the Pillar Two framework.
 
Future tax reform resulting
from these developments may result in changes to long-standing tax principles,
 
which may adversely impact our
effective tax rate going forward or result in higher cash tax liabilities.
 
As of March 30, 2024, the impact of the
Pillar Two Rules to our financial statements was immaterial.
 
As we operate in jurisdictions which have adopted
Pillar Two,
 
we are continuing to analyze the implications to effectively manage the impact
 
for 2024 and beyond.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, which are included in
 
“other liabilities” within our condensed
consolidated balance sheets, as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, was
 
$
113
 
million and $
115
 
million,
respectively, of which $
106
 
million and $
107
 
million, respectively, would affect the effective tax rate if recognized.
 
It is possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will
 
change in the next 12 months, which may result in a
material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of income.
All tax returns audited by the IRS are officially closed through 2019.
 
The tax years subject to examination by the
IRS include years 2020 and forward.
 
In addition, limited positions reported in the 2017 tax year are subject
 
to IRS
examination.
The amount of tax interest expense included as a component of the provision
 
for taxes was $
1
 
million and $
1
million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023,
 
respectively.
 
The total amount of accrued
interest is included in “other liabilities,” and was $
17
 
million as of March 30, 2024 and $
16
 
million as of December
30, 2023.
 
The amount of penalties accrued for during the periods presented
 
were not material to our condensed
consolidated financial statements.

Plan of Restructuring [Abstract]  
Plan of Restructuring
Note 10 – Plan of Restructuring
On August 1, 2022, we committed to a restructuring plan focused on
 
funding the priorities of the BOLD+1 strategic
plan, streamlining operations and other initiatives to increase efficiency.
 
We revised our previous expectations of
completion and we have extended this initiative through the end of 2024.
 
We are currently unable in good faith to
make a determination of an estimate of the amount or range of amounts
 
expected to be incurred in connection with
these activities, both with respect to each major type of cost associated
 
therewith and to the total cost, or an
estimate of the amount or range of amounts that will result in future
 
cash expenditures.
During the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, we
 
recorded restructuring costs of $
10
 
million
and $
30
 
million, respectively.
 
The restructuring costs for these periods primarily related to severance
 
and
employee-related costs, accelerated amortization of right-of-use
 
lease assets and fixed assets, and other lease exit
costs.
 
Restructuring costs recorded for the three months ended March 30, 2024

Legal Proceedings

Legal Proceedings [Abstract]  
Legal Proceedings
Note 11 – Legal Proceedings
Henry Schein, Inc. has been named as a defendant in multiple opioid
 
related lawsuits (currently less than one-
hundred and seventy-five (
175
); one or more of Henry Schein, Inc.’s subsidiaries is also named as a defendant in a
number of those cases).
 
Generally, the lawsuits allege that the manufacturers of prescription opioid drugs engaged
in a false advertising campaign to expand the market for such drugs and
 
their own market share and that the entities
in the supply chain (including Henry Schein, Inc. and its subsidiaries) reaped
 
financial rewards by refusing or
otherwise failing to monitor appropriately and restrict the improper distribution
 
of those drugs.
 
These actions
consist of some that have been consolidated within the MultiDistrict Litigation
 
(“MDL”) proceeding In Re National
Prescription Opiate Litigation (MDL No. 2804; Case No. 17-md-2804)
 
and are currently stayed, and others which
remain pending in state courts and are proceeding independently and outside
 
of the MDL.
 
At this time, the
following cases are set for trial: the action filed by DCH Health Care Authority, et al. in Alabama state court, which
is currently set for a jury trial on July 8, 2024; the action filed by Mobile
 
County Board of Health, et al. in Alabama
state court, which has been set for a jury trial on August 12, 2024;
 
and the action filed by Florida Health Sciences
Center, Inc. (and
25
other hospitals located throughout the State of Florida) in Florida state court,
 
which is currently
scheduled for a jury trial in September 2025.
 
Of Henry Schein’s 2023 net sales of approximately $
12.3
 
billion,
sales of opioids represented less than four-tenths of 1 percent.
 
Opioids represent a negligible part of our
business.
 
We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against these actions.
In August 2022, Henry Schein received a Grand Jury Subpoena from the United
 
States Attorney’s Office for the
Western District of Virginia,
 
seeking documents in connection with an investigation of possible
 
violations of the
Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act by Butler Animal Health Supply, LLC (“Butler”), a former subsidiary of
Henry Schein.
 
The investigation relates to the sale of veterinary prescription drugs
 
to certain customers.
 
In
October 2022, Henry Schein received a second Grand Jury Subpoena
 
from the United States Attorney’s Office for
the Western District of Virginia.
 
The October 2022 Subpoena seeks documents relating to payments Henry
 
Schein
received from Butler or Covetrus, Inc. (“Covetrus”).
 
Butler was spun off into a separate company and became a
subsidiary of Covetrus in 2019 and is no longer owned by Henry Schein.
 
We are cooperating with the
investigation.
On January 18, 2024, a putative class action was filed against the Company
 
in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of New York (“EDNY”), Case No. 24-cv-387 (the “Cruz-Bermudez Action”), based on the
October 2023 cyber incident described in
On January 26, 2024, a second putative class
action was filed against the Company based on the cyber incident, also
 
in the EDNY,
 
Case No. 24-cv-550 (the
“Depperschmidt Action”).
 
On February 12, 2024, the Depperschmidt Action was voluntarily dismissed
 
without
prejudice.
 
On February 16, 2024, an amended complaint was filed in
 
the Cruz-Bermudez Action with additional
plaintiffs’ counsel from the Depperschmidt Action and an additional new plaintiff.
 
 
Plaintiffs in the Cruz-Bermudez Action seek to represent a class of all individuals
 
whose personally identifying
information and personal health information was compromised by
 
the incident.
 
Plaintiffs generally claim to have
been harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by the Company
 
in connection with the incident and that the
Company made deceptive public statements regarding privacy and data protection.
 
Plaintiffs assert a variety of
claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’
 
fees, and other related relief.
 
On March
22, 2024, plaintiffs voluntarily withdrew two of their five causes of action.
 
On April 8, 2024, the court denied the
Company’s motion to dismiss the remaining claims.
 
The case remains pending.
 
We intend to defend ourselves
vigorously against this action.
Henry Schein, Inc. and its affiliate, North American Rescue, LLC (“NAR”), have
 
been named as defendants in a
qui tam lawsuit brought under the federal False Claims Act (“FCA”), in
 
an action entitled
Russ and Murphy ex rel.
United States v. North American Rescue, LLC et al.
; Case No. 21-cv-04238, filed in the United States District
 
Court
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
 
The case was filed under seal in 2021 by two relators (Corey
 
Russ and
Chris Murphy) who worked for one of NAR’s competitors.
 
Relators also name C-A-T Resources, LLC (“CAT-R”)
as a defendant.
 
CAT
 
-R manufactures one of the products at issue in the case (the
 
combat application tourniquet, or
“CAT”).
 
After the Department of Justice declined to intervene, the case was unsealed,
 
and Relators filed their first
amended complaint in November 2023.
 
In response to motions to dismiss filed by Henry Schein, NAR
 
and CAT-
R, Relators requested and obtained leave to file their Second Amended
 
Complaint on April 24, 2024.
 
Relators’
FCA claims are based on allegations that NAR and Henry Schein made false
 
representations and certifications in
connection with, and sold and submitted false claims for payment to the federal
 
government for, various medical
products that Relators contend violated certain “Buy American”
 
laws (e.g., the Berry Amendment and Trade
Agreements Act of 1979) and/or were not properly sterilized as noted
 
on the products’ packaging, and thus
misbranded.
 
These products include the CAT,
 
syringes, compressed gauze, tracheostomy kits, hypothermia
blankets, eye, ear, nose and throat kits, and trauma dressing.
 
Relators allege Henry Schein controlled and
supervised NAR’s alleged misconduct for a period of time.
 
Relators seek three times the amount of damages to be
proved at trial, statutory civil penalties, reasonable expenses, attorneys’
 
fees and costs, and prejudgment
interest.
 
We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against this action.
From time to time, we may become a party to other legal proceedings,
 
including, without limitation, product
liability claims, employment matters, commercial disputes, governmental
 
inquiries and investigations (which may
in some cases involve our entering into settlement arrangements or consent
 
decrees), and other matters arising out
of the ordinary course of our business.
 
While the results of any legal proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty,
in our opinion none of these other pending matters are currently
 
anticipated to have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
As of March 30, 2024, we had accrued our best estimate of potential losses
 
relating to claims that were probable to
result in liability and for which we were able to reasonably estimate a
 
loss.
 
This accrued amount, as well as related
expenses, was not material to our financial position, results of operations
 
or cash flows.
 
Our method for
determining estimated losses considers currently available
 
facts, presently enacted laws and regulations and other
factors, including probable recoveries from third parties.

Stock-Based Compensation
 3 Months Ended
Mar. 30, 2024
Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]  
Stock-Based Compensation
Note 12 – Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock-based awards are provided to certain employees under our 2020 Stock Incentive
 
Plan and to non-employee
directors under our 2023 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan
 
(formerly known as the 2015 Non-
Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan) (together, the “Plans”).
 
The Plans are administered by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”).
 
Historically, equity-based awards to our
employees have been granted solely in the form of time-based and performance-based
 
restricted stock units
(“RSUs”) with the exception of our 2021 plan year in which non-qualified
 
stock options were issued in place of
performance-based RSUs and in 2022, when we granted time-based and
 
performance-based RSUs, as well as non-
qualified stock options.
 
For our 2023 plan year, we returned to granting our employees equity-based awards solely
in the form of time-based and performance-based RSUs.
 
Our non-employee directors receive equity-based awards
solely in the form of time-based RSUs.
RSUs are stock-based awards granted to recipients with specified vesting provisions.
 
In the case of RSUs, common
stock is delivered on or following satisfaction of vesting conditions.
 
We issue RSUs to employees that primarily
vest (i) solely based on the recipient’s continued service over time, primarily with
four
-year cliff vesting and/or (ii)
based on achieving specified performance measurements and the recipient’s continued service over time, primarily
with
three
-year cliff vesting.
 
RSUs granted to our non-employee directors primarily include
12
-month cliff vesting.
 
For these RSUs, we recognize the cost as compensation expense on a straight-line
 
basis.
For all RSUs, we estimate the fair value based on our closing stock
 
price on the grant date.
 
With respect to
performance-based RSUs, the number of shares that ultimately vest and
 
are received by the recipient is based upon
our performance as measured against specified targets over a specified period, as
 
determined by the Compensation
Committee.
 
Although there is no guarantee that performance targets will be achieved, we
 
estimate the fair value of
performance-based RSUs based on our closing stock price at time of grant.
Each of the Plans provide for certain adjustments to the performance
 
measurement in connection with awards under
the Plans.
 
With respect to the performance-based RSUs granted under our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, such
performance measurement adjustments relate to significant events, including,
 
without limitation, acquisitions,
divestitures, new business ventures, certain capital transactions (including share
 
repurchases), differences in
budgeted average outstanding shares (other than those resulting from capital
 
transactions referred to above),
restructuring costs, if any, amortization expense recorded for acquisition-related intangible assets (solely with
respect to performance-based RSUs granted in the 2023 and 2024 plan years),
 
certain litigation settlements or
payments, if any, changes in accounting principles or in applicable laws or regulations, changes in income tax rates
in certain markets, foreign exchange fluctuations, the financial impact
 
either positive or negative, of the difference
in projected earnings generated by COVID-19 test kits (solely with respect
 
to performance-based RSUs granted in
the 2022 and 2023 plan years) and impairment charges (solely with respect to performance-based
 
RSUs granted in
the 2023 and 2024 plan years), and unforeseen events or circumstances
 
affecting us.
Over the performance period, the number of RSUs that will ultimately vest
 
and be issued and the related
compensation expense is adjusted upward or downward based upon our
 
estimation of achieving such performance
targets.
 
The ultimate number of shares delivered to recipients and the related compensation
 
cost recognized as an
expense is based on our actual performance metrics as defined under
 
the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan.
Stock options are awards that allow the recipient to purchase shares of our
 
common stock after vesting at a fixed
price set at the time of grant.
 
Stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to our
 
closing stock price on the
date of grant.
 
Stock options issued in 2021 and 2022 vest one-third per year based
 
on the recipient’s continued
service, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan,
 
are fully vested
three years
 
from the
grant date and have a contractual term of
ten years
 
from the grant date, subject to earlier termination of term and
term acceleration upon certain events.
 
Compensation expense for stock options is recognized using
 
a graded
vesting method.
 
We estimate grant date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
 
During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we did
no
t grant any stock options.
 
Our condensed consolidated statements of income reflect pre-tax share-based compensation
 
expense of $
8
 
million
and $
10
 
million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023.
Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards as of March 30, 2024 was $
120
 
million, which is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately
2.7
 
years.
Our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows present our
 
stock-based compensation expense as a
reconciling adjustment between net income and net cash provided by operating
 
activities for all periods presented.
 
There were no cash benefits associated with tax deductions in excess of
 
recognized compensation for the three
months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023.
 
 
 
 
 
We have not declared cash dividends on our stock in the past and we do not anticipate declaring cash dividends in
the foreseeable future.
 
The expected stock price volatility is based on implied volatilities
 
from traded options on
our stock, historical volatility of our stock and other factors.
 
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S.
Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant that most closely aligns to the expected life of options.
 
The
six
-
year expected life of the options was determined using the simplified
 
method for estimating the expected term as
permitted under Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14.

Our financial statements are denominated in U.S. Dollars.
 
Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies as
compared to the U.S. Dollar may have a significant impact on our
 
comprehensive income.
 
The foreign currency
translation gain (loss) during the three months ended March 30, 2024
 
and three months ended April 1, 2023 was
primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro,
 
Brazilian Real, British Pound, Australian
Dollar, Swiss Franc and Canadian Dollar.
The hedging gain (loss) during the three months ended March 30, 2024, and
 
April 1, 2023 was attributable to a net
investment hedge.

–
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable
 
to Henry Schein, Inc. by the weighted-
average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
 
Our diluted earnings per share is computed similarly
to basic earnings per share, except that it reflects the effect of common shares issuable
 
for unvested RSUs and upon
exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method in periods
 
in which they have a dilutive effect.
A reconciliation of shares used in calculating earnings per basic and diluted
 
share follows:

Related Party Transactions
Note 17 – Related Party Transactions
In connection with the formation of Henry Schein One, LLC, our joint venture
 
with Internet Brands, which was
formed on July 1, 2018, we entered into a
ten-year
 
royalty agreement with Internet Brands whereby we will pay
Internet Brands approximately $
31
 
million annually for the use of their intellectual property.
 
During the three
months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, we recorded $
8
 
million and $
8
 
million, respectively, in
connection with costs related to this royalty agreement.
 
As of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, Henry
Schein One, LLC had a net payable balance to Internet Brands of $
3
 
million and $
1
 
million, respectively,
comprised of amounts related to results of operations and the royalty agreement.
 
The components of this payable
are recorded within accrued expenses: other within our condensed consolidated
 
balance sheets.
We have interests in entities that we account for under the equity accounting method.
 
In our normal course of
business, during the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023,
 
we recorded net sales of $
12
 
million
and $
8
 
million respectively, to such entities.
 
During the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023,
 
we
purchased $
3
 
million and $
2
 
million respectively, from such entities.
 
At March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023,
we had an aggregate $
31
 
million and $
32
 
million, respectively, due from our equity affiliates, and $
6
 
million and
$
5
 
million, respectively, due to our equity affiliates.
Certain of our facilities related to our acquisitions are leased from employees
 
and minority shareholders.
 
These
leases are classified as operating leases and have a remaining lease term
 
ranging from less than
one month
 
to
17
years.
 
As of March 30, 2024, current and non-current liabilities
 
associated with related party operating leases were
$
5
 
million and $
22
 
million, respectively.
 
At March 30, 2024 related party leases represented
6.7
% and
8.2
% of the
total current and non-current operating lease liabilities, respectively.
 
At December 30, 2023 related party leases
represented
6.3
% and
7.4
% of the total current and non-current operating lease liabilities, respectively.

Basis of Presentation (Policy)

Mar. 30, 2024
Basis of Presentation [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Henry
 
Schein, Inc., and all of our
controlled subsidiaries (“we”, “us” and “our”).
 
All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.
 
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates for which we have the ability to influence
 
the operating or
financial decisions are accounted for under the equity method.
Use of Estimates
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 months ended March 30, 2024 are not necessarily
 
indicative of the results to be expected
for any other interim period or for the year ending December 28, 2024.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entity
We consolidate the results of operations and financial position of a trade accounts receivable securitization which
we consider a VIE because we are its primary beneficiary, as we have the power to direct activities that most
significantly affect its economic performance and have the obligation to absorb the
 
majority of its losses or
benefits.
 
For this VIE, the trade accounts receivable transferred
 
to the VIE are pledged as collateral to the related
debt.
 
The VIE’s creditors have recourse to us for losses on these trade accounts receivable.
 
At March 30, 2024 and
December 30, 2023, certain trade accounts receivable that can only be used
 
to settle obligations of this VIE were
$
497
 
million and $
284
 
million, respectively, and the liabilities of this VIE where the creditors have recourse to us
were $
300
 
million and $
210
 
million, respectively.

Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Policy)
 3 Months Ended
Mar. 30, 2024
Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards [Abstract]  
Accounting Standard Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2023-09, “
Income Taxes (Topic
 
740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
,” which requires public
business entities to disclose additional information in specified categories with
 
respect to the reconciliation of the
effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state and foreign income taxes.
 
It also requires greater detail
about individual reconciling items in the rate reconciliation to the extent
 
the impact of those items exceeds a
specified threshold.
 
In addition to new disclosures associated with the rate reconciliation,
 
the ASU requires
information pertaining to taxes paid (net of refunds received) to be
 
disaggregated for federal, state and foreign taxes
and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions to the extent the
 
related amounts exceed a quantitative threshold.
 
The ASU also describes items that need to be disaggregated based on
 
their nature, which is determined by reference
to the item’s fundamental or essential characteristics, such as the transaction or event that triggered the
establishment of the reconciling item and the activity with which the reconciling
 
item is associated.
 
The ASU
eliminates the historic requirement that entities disclose information concerning
 
unrecognized tax benefits having a
reasonable possibility of significantly increasing or decreasing in the 12
 
months following the reporting date.
 
This
ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024.
 
Early adoption is permitted for annual
financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available
 
for issuance.
 
This ASU should be applied on a
prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted.
 
We are currently evaluating the impact that
ASU 2023 – 09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “
Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable
Segments
,” which aims to improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure
 
of incremental segment information
on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to
 
develop more decision-useful financial
analyses.
 
Currently, Topic
 
280 requires that a public entity disclose certain information about its
 
reportable
segments.
 
For example, a public entity is required to report a measure of
 
segment profit or loss that the chief
operating decision maker uses to assess segment performance and
 
make decisions about allocating resources.
 
Topic 280 also requires other specified segment items and amounts, such as depreciation, amortization, and
depletion expense, to be disclosed under certain circumstances.
 
The amendments in this ASU do not change or
remove those disclosure requirements and do not change how a public
 
entity identifies its operating segments,
aggregates those operating segments or applies the quantitative thresholds
 
to determine its reportable segments.
 
This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim
 
periods within fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2024.
 
Early adoption is permitted.
 
We do not expect that the requirements of ASU
2023 – 07 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial
 
statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, “
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope
Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards,
” which clarifies how to determine whether a profit interest and
similar awards should be accounted for as a share-based payment arrangement
 
under Topic 718 or within the scope
of other guidance.
 
The ASU provides an illustrative example with multiple fact patterns
 
and amends the structure
of paragraph 718-10-15-3 of Topic 718 to improve its clarity and operability.
 
The guidance in ASU 2024-01
applies to all entities that issue profits interest awards as compensation
 
to employees or nonemployees in exchange
for goods or services.
 
Entities can apply the amendments either retrospectively to
 
all periods presented in the
financial statements or prospectively to profits interest awards granted
 
or modified on or after the date of adoption.
 
If prospective application is elected, an entity must disclose the nature
 
of and reason for the change in accounting
principle that resulted from the adoption of the ASU.
 
This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
 
We do not expect that the requirements of
ASU 2024 – 01 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial
 
statements.
