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” 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.
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 25, 2021 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 nine months ended September 24, 2022 are not necessarily
 
indicative of the results to be expected
for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2022.
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
September 24, 2022 and December 25, 2021, certain trade accounts receivable
 
that can only be used to settle
obligations of this VIE were $
313
 
million and $
138
 
million, respectively, and the liabilities of this VIE where the
creditors have recourse to us were $
225
 
million and $
105
 
million, respectively.
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.
 
Due to the significant uncertainty surrounding the future impact of
 
COVID-19, our judgments
regarding estimates and impairments could change in the future.
 
There is an ongoing risk that the COVID-19
pandemic may again have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
 
and cash flows and may
result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.
 
However, the extent of the potential
impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time

and Recently Issued Accounting
Standards
Critical Accounting Policies
 
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies
 
during the nine months ended September
24, 2022, as compared to the critical accounting policies described in Item 7
 
of our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 25, 2021.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
On
December 26, 2021
 
we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021 – 08, “Accounting
 
for
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”
 
(Subtopic 805).
 
ASU 2021 – 08 requires
an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired
 
in a business combination in
accordance with Topic 606.
 
At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue
 
contracts in
accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts.
 
To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the
acquiree applied Topic 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts.
 
Generally, this should
result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets
 
and contract liabilities consistent with
how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements.
 
Our
adoption
 
of ASU 2021 - 08 did
not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate
Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” which provides
optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts,
 
hedging relationships and other
transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or
 
by another
reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.
 
The guidance was effective beginning
March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31,
 
2022.
 
In January 2021, the FASB issued
ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”).
 
ASU 2021-01 provides temporary
optional expedients and exceptions to certain guidance in U.S. GAAP
 
to ease the financial reporting burdens related
to the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates
 
to alternative reference rates, such
as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.
 
The guidance is effective upon issuance, on January 7, 2021, and can be
applied through December 31, 2022.
 
We do not expect that the requirements of this guidance will have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value
 
Hedging –
Portfolio Layer Method,” which will expand companies' abilities
 
to hedge the benchmark interest rate risk of
portfolios of financial assets (or beneficial interests) in a fair value hedge.
 
This ASU expands the use of the
portfolio layer method (previously referred to as the last-of-layer
 
method) to allow multiple hedges of a single
closed portfolio of assets using spot starting, forward starting and amortizing-notional
 
swaps.
 
It also permits both
prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets to be included in the closed
 
portfolio of assets hedged in a portfolio
layer hedge.
 
This ASU further requires that basis adjustments not be allocated
 
to individual assets for active
portfolio layer method hedges, but rather be maintained on the closed portfolio
 
of assets as a whole.
 
ASU 2022 –
01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods
 
within those fiscal
years.
 
Early adoption is permitted for any entity that has adopted the amendments
 
in ASU 2017-12.
 
We do not
expect that the requirements of this guidance will have a material impact
 
on our consolidated financial statements.

2022 Acquisitions
We completed several acquisitions during the nine months ended September 24, 2022,
 
which were immaterial to
our condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Our acquired ownership interest ranged between
80
% to
100
%.
 
Acquisitions within our healthcare distribution segment included
 
companies that specialize in the distribution of
dental products.
 
Within our technology and value-added services segment, we acquired a company that educates
and connects dental office managers, practice administrators and dental business
 
leaders across North America.
The following table aggregates
 
the estimated fair value, as of the date of acquisition, of consideration
 
paid and net
assets acquired for acquisitions during the nine months ended September 24,
 
2022.
 
While we use our best
estimates and assumptions to accurately value those assets acquired and
 
liabilities assumed at the acquisition date
as well as contingent consideration, where applicable, our estimates are
 
inherently uncertain and subject to
refinement.
 
As a result, during the measurement period we may record adjustments
 
to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill within our condensed consolidated balance
 
sheets.
 
Approximately half of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The major classes of assets and liabilities that we generally allocate purchase
 
price to, excluding goodwill, include

and trade names, product
development and non-compete agreements), inventory and accounts
 
receivable, property, plant and equipment,
deferred taxes and other current and long-term assets and liabilities.
 
The estimated fair value of identifiable
intangible assets is based on critical estimates, judgments and assumptions
 
derived from analysis of market
conditions, discount rates, discounted cash flows, customer retention rates
 
and estimated useful lives.
Some prior owners of acquired subsidiaries are eligible to receive additional
 
purchase price cash consideration if
certain financial targets are met.
 
We have accrued liabilities for the estimated fair value of additional purchase
price consideration at the time of the acquisition.
 
Any adjustments to these accrual amounts are recorded in our
condensed consolidated statements of income.
 
For the nine months ended September 24, 2022 and September 25,
2021, there were no material adjustments recorded in our condensed consolidated
 
statements of income relating to
changes in estimated contingent purchase price liabilities.
During the nine months ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021 we
 
incurred $

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements
Note 6 – 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;
however, we believe the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the interest
 
rates in the
applicable markets.
Debt
The fair value of our debt (including bank credit lines) is classified as
 
Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, and
as of September 24, 2022 and December 25, 2021 was estimated at
 
$
1,045
 
million and $
873
 
million, respectively.
 
Factors that we considered when estimating the fair value of our debt
 
included market conditions, such as interest
rates and credit spreads.
Derivative contracts
Derivative contracts are valued using quoted market prices and
 
significant other observable inputs.
 
We use
derivative instruments to minimize our exposure to fluctuations in foreign
 
currency exchange rates.
 
Our derivative
instruments primarily include foreign currency forward agreements related
 
to certain intercompany loans, certain
forecasted inventory purchase commitments with foreign suppliers,
 
foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a
portion of our euro-denominated foreign operations which are designated as net
 
investment hedges and a total
return swap for the purpose of economically hedging our unfunded
 
non-qualified supplemental executive retirement
plan and our deferred compensation plan.
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
 
is based on market rates for comparable
transactions and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests
The values for Redeemable noncontrolling interests are classified within
 
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and are
based on recent transactions and/or implied multiples of earnings.
 
See
for additional information.
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 September

Revolving Credit Agreement
On
August 20, 2021
, we entered into a $
1
 
billion revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”).
 
This
facility which matures on
August 20, 2026
 
replaced our $
750
 
million revolving credit facility which was scheduled
to mature in April 2022.
 
The interest rate is based on the USD LIBOR plus a spread based on our
 
leverage ratio at
the end of each financial reporting quarter.
 
Most LIBOR rates have been discontinued after December 31,
 
2021,
while the remaining LIBOR rates will be discontinued immediately
 
after June 30, 2023.
 
We do not expect the
discontinuation of LIBOR as a reference rate in our debt agreements
 
to have a material adverse effect on our
financial position or to materially affect our interest expense.
 
The Credit Agreement also requires, among other
things, that we maintain certain maximum leverage ratios.
 
Additionally, the 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 September 24, 2022 and December 25, 2021, we
 
had
no
 
borrowings under this
revolving credit facility.
 
As of September 24, 2022 and December 25, 2021, there
 
were $
9
 
million and $
9
 
million
of letters of credit, respectively, provided to third parties under the credit facility.
Other Short-Term Bank Credit
 
Lines
As of September 24, 2022 and December 25, 2021, we had various other
 
short-term bank credit lines available, of
which $
107
 
million and $
51
 
million, respectively, were outstanding.
 
At September 24, 2022 and December 25,
2021, borrowings under all of these credit lines had a weighted average
 
interest rate of
9.35
% and
10.44
%,
respectively.

companies, have a total facility amount of $
1.5
 
billion (previously $
1.0
 
billion), and 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
 
(previously
June 23, 2023
).
 
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.

U.S. Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization
We have a facility agreement based on the securitization of our U.S. trade accounts receivable that is structured as
an asset-backed securitization program with pricing committed for up
 
to
three years
.
 
On October 20, 2021, we
extended the expiration date of this facility agreement to
October 18, 2024
 
and increased the purchase limit under
the facility from $
350
 
million to $
450
 
million with
two
 
banks as agents.
 
As of September 24, 2022 and December
25, 2021, the borrowings outstanding under this securitization facility were
 
$
225
 
million and $
105
 
million,
respectively.
 
At September 24, 2022, the interest rate on borrowings
 
under this facility was based on the asset-
backed commercial paper rate of
2.89
% plus
0.75
%, for a combined rate of
3.64
%.
 
At December 25, 2021, the
interest rate on borrowings under this facility was based on the asset-backed
 
commercial paper rate of
0.19
% plus
0.75
%, for a combined rate of
0.94
%.
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 8 – Income Taxes
For the nine months ended September 24, 2022 our effective tax rate was
23.5
% compared to
24.2
% for the prior
year period.
 
The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the nine
 
months
ended September 24, 2022 primarily relates to state and foreign income taxes
 
and interest expense as well as share-
based compensation.
 
The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the nine
months ended September 25, 2021 primarily relates to state and foreign
 
income taxes, interest expense and tax
charges and credits associated with legal entity reorganizations.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (H.R. 5376) (“IRA”) was signed
 
into law in the United States.
 
Among other things, the IRA imposes a 15% corporate alternative
 
minimum tax for tax years beginning after
December 31, 2022 and levies a 1% excise tax on net stock repurchases after
 
December 31, 2022.
 
We are still in
the process of analyzing the provisions of the IRA.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, which are included in
 
“Other liabilities” within our condensed
consolidated balance sheets, as of September 24, 2022 and December 25,
 
2021 was $
84
 
million and $
84
 
million,
respectively, of which $
71
 
million and $
69
 
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 2016.
 
The tax years subject to examination by the
IRS include years 2017 and forward.
 
During the year ended December 25, 2021, we were notified by
 
the IRS that
tax year 2019 was selected for examination.
During the quarter ended September 26, 2020 we reached an agreement
 
with the Advanced Pricing Division on an
appropriate transfer pricing methodology for the years 2014-2025.
 
The objective of this resolution was to mitigate
future transfer pricing audit adjustments.
The total amounts of interest and penalties are classified as a component
 
of the provision for income taxes.
 
The
amount of tax interest expense/(credit) was $
1
 
million for the nine months ended September 24, 2022, and
$
(2)
 
million for the nine months ended September 25, 2021.
 
The total amount of accrued interest is included in
“Other liabilities,” and was $
14
 
million as of September 24, 2022 and $
12
 
million as of December 25, 2021.

Legal Proceedings
Note 9 – Legal Proceedings
Henry Schein, Inc. has been named as a defendant in multiple lawsuits
 
(currently less than one-hundred and fifty
(
150
); in less than half of those cases one or more of Henry Schein,
 
Inc.’s subsidiaries is also named as a
defendant).
 
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 affiliated companies) 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 Mobile County Board
 
of Health, et al., in Alabama state court,
which is currently stayed but remains set for a jury trial on January 9, 2023;
 
the action filed by DCH Health Care
Authority, et al. in Alabama state court, which has been designated a bellwether with
eight
 
of
thirty-eight
 
plaintiffs
set for a jury trial on July 24, 2023; and the action filed by Florida Health
 
Sciences Center, Inc. (and
38
 
other
hospitals located throughout the State of Florida) in Florida state court,
 
which is currently scheduled for a jury trial
in October 2024.
 
In June 2022, we settled
twenty-six
 
cases filed by hospitals in West Virginia,
 
and settled with
one
additional hospital, for a total amount of
three-hundred thousand
 
dollars.
 
The
twenty-six
 
cases have been
dismissed.
 
Of Henry Schein’s 2021 net sales of approximately $
12.4
 
billion, sales of opioids represented less than
two-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 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.
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 September 24, 2022, 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
9 Months Ended
Sep. 24, 2022
Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]  
Stock-Based Compensation
Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based awards are provided to certain employees under the terms of our
 
2020 Stock Incentive Plan and to
non-employee directors under the terms of our 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”).
 
However, for our 2021 fiscal year, in
light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Compensation Committee determined
 
it would be difficult for management
to set a meaningful three-year cumulative earnings per share target as the goal applicable
 
to performance-based
RSU awards as it had done in prior years.
 
Instead, the Compensation Committee set our equity-based awards
 
to
employees for fiscal 2021 in the form of time-based RSUs and non-qualified
 
stock options which focus on stock
value appreciation and retention instead of pre-established performance goals.
 
Our non-employee directors
continued to receive equity-based awards for fiscal 2021 solely in the form of time-based
 
RSUs.
 
In March 2022,
the Compensation Committee reinstated performance-based RSUs
 
for equity-based awards to employees for fiscal
2022 and awarded grants in the form of time-based RSUs, performance-based
 
RSUs and non-qualified stock
options.
 
RSUs are stock-based awards granted to recipients with specified vesting provisions.
 
In the case of RSUs, common
stock is generally delivered on or following satisfaction of vesting conditions.
 
We issue RSUs to employees that
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 under the 2015 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive
 
Plan primarily
are granted with
12
-month cliff vesting.
 
For these RSUs, we recognize the cost as compensation expense on
 
a
straight-line basis.
With respect to time-based RSUs, we estimate the fair value on the date of grant based on our closing
 
stock price at
the time of grant.
 
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, 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 differences in projected earnings
 
generated by sales of COVID-
19 test kits (solely with respect to performance-based RSUs
 
granted in the 2022 plan year) and unforeseen events or
circumstances affecting us.
 
Over the performance period, the number of shares of common stock 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 will be based on our actual performance metrics
 
as defined under the Plans.
 
Stock options are awards that allow the recipient to purchase shares of our common
 
stock at a fixed price following
vesting of the stock options.
 
Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to our closing stock
 
price on the
date of grant.
 
Stock options issued beginning in 2021 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 the term
upon certain events.
 
Compensation expense for these stock options is recognized
 
using a graded vesting method.
 
We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
 
In addition to equity-based awards granted in fiscal 2021 under the long-term
 
incentive program, the Compensation
Committee granted a Special Pandemic Recognition Award under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan to recipients of
performance-based RSUs under the 2018 long-term incentive program.
 
The payout under the performance-based
restricted stock units granted under the fiscal 2018 long-term incentive program
 
(the “2018 LTIP”) was negatively
impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Given the significance of the impact of the pandemic on our
three
-
year EPS goal under such equity awards and the contributions made by our employees
 
(including those who
received such awards), on March 3, 2021, the Compensation Committee granted
 
a Special Pandemic Recognition
Award to recipients of performance-based restricted stock units under the 2018 LTIP who were employed by us on
the grant date of the Special Pandemic Recognition Award.
 
These time-based RSU awards vest
50
% on the first
anniversary of the grant date and
50
% on the second anniversary of the grant date, based on the recipient’s
continued service and subject to the terms and conditions of the 2020 Stock Incentive
 
Plan, and are recorded as
compensation expense using a graded vesting method.
 
The combination of the
20
% payout based on actual
performance of the 2018 LTIP and the one-time Special Pandemic Recognition Award granted in 2021 will
generate a cumulative payout of
75
% of each recipient’s original number of performance-based restricted stock
units awarded in 2018 if the recipient satisfies the
two
-year vesting schedule commencing on the grant date.
Our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income reflect
 
pre-tax share-based compensation expense
of $
17
 
million ($
13
 
million after-tax) and $
44
 
million ($
34
 
million after-tax) for the three and nine months ended
September 24, 2022, respectively.
 
For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2021, we
 
recorded pre-tax
share-based compensation expense of $
28
 
million ($
21
 
million after-tax) and $
58
 
million ($
44
 
million after-tax),
respectively.
Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards as of September 24, 2022 was $
104
 
million,
which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
 
approximately
2.2
 
years.
The following weighted-average assumptions were used in determining
 
the most recent fair values of stock options
granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model:
2022
Expected dividend yield
 
0.0
%
Expected stock price volatility
 
27.70
%
Risk-free interest rate
 
3.42
%
Expected life of options (years)
 
6.00
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 in conjunction with considering 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 SAB Topic 14.
 
Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or
 
the
value ultimately realized by recipients of stock options, and subsequent events
 
are not indicative of the
reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by us.

Plans of Restructuring and Integration Costs [Abstract]  
Plans of Restructuring and Integration Costs
Note 13 – Plans of Restructuring
On August 1, 2022, we committed to a restructuring plan focused on
 
funding the priorities of the strategic plan and
streamlining operations and other initiatives to increase efficiency.
 
This plan also includes the rationalization of the
Company’s office space in North America as a result of transitioning to a partial and full remote work model for
certain employees.
 
We recorded restructuring charges of $
9
 
million primarily related to severance and employee-
related costs and lease right-of-use and other long-lived asset accelerated depreciation
 
and amortization and lease
exit costs.
 
We expect this initiative to extend through 2023.
 
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 with respect to the total cost, or an
estimate of the amount or range of amounts that will
 
result in future cash expenditures.
On August 26,
 
2022, we acquired Midway Dental Supply.
 
In connection with this acquisition, during the three
months ended September 24, 2022, we recorded integration costs of $
1
 
million related to one-time employee and
other costs, as well as restructuring charges of $
2
 
million, which are included in the $
9
 
million of restructuring
charges discussed above.
On November 20, 2019, we committed to a contemplated restructuring
 
initiative intended to mitigate stranded costs
associated with the spin-off of our animal health business and to rationalize operations
 
and provide expense
efficiencies.
 
These activities were originally expected to be completed by
 
the end of 2020 but we extended them to
the end of 2021 in light of the changes to the business environment brought
 
on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
The
restructuring activities under this prior initiative were completed in
 
2021.
Restructuring and integration costs recorded for the three and nine
 
months ended September 24, 2022 and nine
months ended September 25, 2021 (there were

Earnings Per Share
Note 14
 
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 presently unvested RSUs
and upon exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method
 
in periods in which they have a dilutive effect.

Critical Accounting Policies, Accounting Pronouncements Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards [Abstract]  
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
On
December 26, 2021
 
we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021 – 08, “Accounting
 
for
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”
 
(Subtopic 805).
 
ASU 2021 – 08 requires
an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired
 
in a business combination in
accordance with Topic 606.
 
At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue
 
contracts in
accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts.
 
To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the
acquiree applied Topic 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts.
 
Generally, this should
result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets
 
and contract liabilities consistent with
how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements.
 
Our
adoption
 
of ASU 2021 - 08 did
not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate
Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” which provides
optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts,
 
hedging relationships and other
transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or
 
by another
reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.
 
The guidance was effective beginning
March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31,
 
2022.
 
In January 2021, the FASB issued
ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”).
 
ASU 2021-01 provides temporary
optional expedients and exceptions to certain guidance in U.S. GAAP
 
to ease the financial reporting burdens related
to the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates
 
to alternative reference rates, such
as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.
 
The guidance is effective upon issuance, on January 7, 2021, and can be
applied through December 31, 2022.
 
We do not expect that the requirements of this guidance will have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value
 
Hedging –
Portfolio Layer Method,” which will expand companies' abilities
 
to hedge the benchmark interest rate risk of
portfolios of financial assets (or beneficial interests) in a fair value hedge.
 
This ASU expands the use of the
portfolio layer method (previously referred to as the last-of-layer
 
method) to allow multiple hedges of a single
closed portfolio of assets using spot starting, forward starting and amortizing-notional
 
swaps.
 
It also permits both
prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets to be included in the closed
 
portfolio of assets hedged in a portfolio
layer hedge.
 
This ASU further requires that basis adjustments not be allocated
 
to individual assets for active
portfolio layer method hedges, but rather be maintained on the closed portfolio
 
of assets as a whole.
 
ASU 2022 –
01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods
 
within those fiscal
years.
 
Early adoption is permitted for any entity that has adopted the amendments
 
in ASU 2017-12.
 
We do not
expect that the requirements of this guidance will have a material impact
 
on our consolidated financial statements.
