NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, except share and per share data) (unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Henry Schein, Inc., and all of our controlled subsidiaries and VIE (“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. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications, individually and in the aggregate, did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited 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 28, 2024 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 consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 27, 2025. 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 credit losses; hedging activity; supplier rebates; measurement of compensation cost for certain share-based performance awards and cash bonus plans; and pension plan assumptions. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the VIE. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE when 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 the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider factors such as ownership interest, debt investments, management representation, authority to control decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of each party. For this VIE, related to our U.S. trade accounts receivable securitization as discussed in
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 September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, certain trade accounts receivable that can only be used to settle obligations of this VIE were $ 492 million and $ 241 million, respectively, and the liabilities of this VIE where the creditors have recourse to us were $ 400 million and $ 150 million, respectively.Note 8 – Debt,

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 and nine months ended September 27, 2025, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06, “ Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software ,” which removes all references to software development project stages. The ASU requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or with a modified transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “ Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Subtopic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, ” which introduces a practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged throughout the remaining life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract asset under Topic 606 on revenue from contracts with customers. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect ASU 2025-05 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “ Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40) : Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ,” which requires additional disclosure about the specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The amendments in this ASU do not change or remove current expense disclosure requirements, but affect where this information appears in the notes to financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued 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. The adoption of this

(in millions, except share and per share data) (unaudited)
ASU will expand our income tax disclosures and will not have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet or consolidated statement of income.
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 was remediated. With respect to the October 2023 cyber incident, we have a $ 60 million insurance policy, following a $ 5 million retention. During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025, we did no t incur any expenses directly related to the cyber incident. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 we incurred $ 1 million and $ 9 million, respectively, of expenses related to the cyber incident, mostly consisting of professional fees. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, we received insurance proceeds of $ 10 million and $ 20 million, respectively, representing a partial insurance recovery of losses related to the cyber incident. During the three months ended March 29, 2025 we received insurance proceeds of $ 20 million under this policy, representing the remaining insurance recovery of losses related to the cyber incident. The expenses and insurance recoveries related to the cyber incident are included in the selling, general and administrative line in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

Note 5 – Segment Data
During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, we revised our reportable segments to align with how the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer manages the business, assesses performance and allocates resources. Our revised reportable segments now consist of: (i) Global Distribution and Value-Added Services; (ii) Global Specialty Products; and (iii) Global Technology. These segments offer different products and services to the same customer base. All prior comparative segment information has been recast to reflect our new segment structure. We aggregate operating segments into these reportable segments based on economic similarities, the nature of their products, customer base and methods of distribution. Global Distribution and Value-Added Services includes distribution to the global dental and medical markets of national brand and corporate brand merchandise, as well as equipment and related technical services. This segment also includes value-added services such as financial services, continuing education services, consulting and other services. This segment also markets and sells under our own corporate brand a portfolio of cost-effective, high- quality consumable merchandise. Global Specialty Products includes manufacturing, marketing and sales of dental implant and biomaterial products; and endodontic, orthodontic and orthopedic products and other health care- related products and services. Global Technology includes development and distribution of practice management software, e-services and other products, which are distributed to health care providers. Our organizational structure also includes Corporate, which consists primarily of income and expenses associated with support functions and projects. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM uses adjusted operating income as the profitability metric for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. Adjusted operating income provides a measure of our underlying segment results that is in line with our approach to risk and performance management. We define adjusted operating income as operating income adjusted to exclude (a) direct cybersecurity costs and related insurance recovery proceeds, (b) amortization of acquisition intangibles, (c) organizational restructuring expenses, (d) impairment of intangible assets, (e) changes in fair value of contingent consideration, (f) litigation settlements, and (g) costs associated with shareholder advisory matters and select value creation consulting costs. These adjustments are either: (i) non-cash or non-recurring in nature; (ii) not allocable or controlled by the segment; or (iii) not tied to the operational performance of the segment. Assets by segment are not a measure used to assess the performance of the Company by CODM and thus are not reported in our disclosures.

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.
2025 Acquisitions During the nine months ended September 27, 2025, we acquired companies within the Global Distribution and Value -Added Services and Global Specialty Products segments. We acquired ownership interest in these companies ranging from 60 % to 100 %. The following table aggregates the preliminary estimated fair value, as of the date of the acquisition, of consideration paid and net assets acquired for acquisitions during the nine months ended September 27, 2025:
Preliminary Allocation as of September 27, 2025 Acquisition consideration: Cash $ 112 Deferred consideration 1 Estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable 11 Fair value of previously held equity method investments 81 Noncontrolling interests 85 Total consideration $ 290 Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Current assets $ 50 Intangible assets 116 Other noncurrent assets 35 Current liabilities ( 15 ) Long-term debt ( 1 ) Deferred income taxes ( 21 ) Other noncurrent liabilities ( 4 ) Total identifiable net assets 160 Goodwill 130 Total net assets acquired $ 290
The accounting for acquisitions in the nine months ended September 27, 2025 has not been completed in several areas, including, but not limited to, pending assessment of certain assets, primarily including identifiable intangibles and certain equity method investments, and certain liabilities, primarily including deferred income taxes. Goodwill is a result of the 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 not deductible for tax purposes. During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025, in connection with acquisitions of controlling interests of affiliates, we recognized gains of approximately $ 28 million and $ 32 million, respectively, related to the remeasurement to fair value of our previously held equity investments. Such gains were calculated using a discounted cash flow model based on Level 3 inputs, as defined in
which was recorded in selling, general and administrative in the condensed consolidated statements of income.Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements,

2025 Weighted Average Useful Lives (in years) Customer relationships and lists 97 10 Trademarks / Tradenames 18 6 Non-compete agreements 1 5 Total $ 116
The impact of these acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, was not considered material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Pro forma financial information since the acquisition date has not been presented because the impact of these acquisitions was immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
2024 Acquisitions
Acquisition of TriMed On April 1, 2024, we acquired a 60 % voting equity interest in TriMed Inc. (“TriMed”), a global developer of solutions for the orthopedic treatment of lower and upper extremities, headquartered in California, for consideration of $ 315 million. This acquisition is reported in our Global Specialty Products segment. During the year ended December 28, 2024, we completed the accounting for this acquisition.
The following table aggregates the final fair value, as of the date of the acquisition, of consideration paid and net assets acquired in the TriMed acquisition:
Final Allocation Acquisition consideration: Cash $ 141 Deferred consideration 21 Redeemable noncontrolling interests 153 Total consideration $ 315 Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Current assets $ 35 Intangible assets 221 Other noncurrent assets 10 Current liabilities ( 7 ) Deferred income taxes ( 62 ) Other noncurrent liabilities ( 6 ) Total identifiable net assets 191 Goodwill 124 Total net assets acquired $ 315
Goodwill is a result of synergies that are expected to originate from the acquisition as well as the expected growth potential of TriMed. The acquired goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets acquired consisted of product development of $ 204 million, trademarks and tradenames of $ 9 million, and in-process research and development of $ 8 million. Weighted average useful lives for these acquired intangible assets were 9 years, 7 years and indefinite-lived, respectively. Except for in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), intangible assets acquired as a result of the TriMed acquisition are being amortized over

(in millions, except share and per share data) (unaudited)
their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of amortization. IPR&D is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and is not amortized until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. IPR&D is tested for impairment annually or periodically if an indicator of impairment exists during the period until completion. Pro forma financial information and TriMed’s revenue and earnings since the acquisition date have not been presented because the impact of the TriMed acquisition was immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other 2024 Acquisitions During the year ended December 28, 2024, we acquired companies within the Global Distribution and Value- Added Services and Global Specialty Products segments. Our acquired ownership interest in these companies range from 51 % to 100 %. Total consideration for these acquisitions was $ 113 million (including cash paid of $ 62 million, fair value of previously held equity investment of $ 30 million, noncontrolling interest of $ 18 million, estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable of $ 2 million, and deferred consideration of $ 1 million). Net assets acquired primarily consisted of $ 60 million of goodwill and $ 64 million of intangible assets. The intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships and lists of $ 33 million, trademarks and tradenames of $ 24 million, product development of $ 5 million and non-compete agreements of $ 2 million. Weighted average useful lives for these acquired intangible assets were 11 years, 7 years, 9 years and 5 years, respectively. During the first half of fiscal 2025 we completed the accounting for all acquisitions that occurred in the year ended December 28, 2024. We did not record material adjustments in our condensed consolidated financial statements relating to changes in estimated values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed or contingent consideration assets and liabilities in respect to these acquisitions. Goodwill is a result of the 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 not deductible for tax purposes. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, in connection with an acquisition of a controlling interest of an affiliate, we recognized a gain of approximately $ 19 million related to the remeasurement to fair value of our previously held equity investment, using a discounted cash flow model based on Level 3 inputs, as defined in
which was recorded in selling, general and administrative in the condensed consolidated statements of income.Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements,
Pro forma financial information for our 2024 acquisitions has not been presented because the impact of the acquisitions was immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Acquisition Costs During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025, we incurred $ 1 million and $ 4 million in acquisition costs, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, we incurred $ 2 million and $ 5 million in acquisition costs, respectively. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

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 of the notes receivable are a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the interest rates in the applicable markets. Our 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 September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 was estimated at $ 3,096 million and $ 2,536 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 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

(in millions, except share and per share data) (unaudited)
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.
SeeNote 13 – Redeemable Noncontrolling Interestsfor additional information.
Intangible Assets 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. Defined Benefit Plans Assets of our defined benefit plans are measured on a recurring basis and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Contingent Consideration We estimate the fair value of contingent consideration payments as part of the acquisition price and record the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. For transactions accounted for as business combinations, subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payments are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of income
For transactions involving changes in our ownership in subsidiaries without a change in our control, subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payments are recognized in additional paid-in capital in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We measure contingent consideration at the fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We use various valuation techniques, including the Monte Carlo simulation and probability-weighted scenarios, to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities on the acquisition date and at each reporting period. Our fair value measurement inputs include expected operating performance, discount and risk-free rates, and credit spread. The components of the change in the fair value of contingent consideration for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024 are presented in the following table:(seeNote 6 – Business Acquisitions).

September 27, December 28, 2025 2024 Revolving credit agreement $ 250 $ - Other short-term bank credit lines 663 650 Total $ 913 $ 650
Revolving Credit Agreement On August 20, 2021 , we entered into a $ 1.0 billion revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) which was 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. On June 6, 2025, we amended and restated the Revolving Credit Agreement to, among other things, modify certain financial definitions and covenants. 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 September 27, 2025 the interest rate on this revolving credit facility was 4.14 % plus 1.07 % for a combined rate of 5.21 %. As of December 28, 2024 the interest rate on this revolving credit facility was 4.45 % plus 1.18 %, for a combined rate of 5.63 %. 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 September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, we had $ 250 million and $ 0 million in borrowings, respectively, under this revolving credit facility. During the nine months ended September 27, 2025, the average outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Agreement was approximately $ 181 million. As of September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, there were $ 10 million and $ 11 million of letters of credit, respectively, provided to third parties under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Other Short-Term Bank Credit Lines As of September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, we had various other short-term bank credit lines available, in various currencies, with a maximum borrowing capacity of $ 783 million and $ 790 million, respectively. As of September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, $ 663 million and $ 650 million, respectively, were outstanding. During the nine months ended September 27, 2025, the average outstanding balances under our various other short- term bank credit lines was approximately $ 675 million. As of September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, borrowings under other short-term bank credit lines had weighted average interest rates of 5.11 % and 5.35 %, respectively.

Private Placement Facilities Our private placement facilities provided by four insurance companies have a total facility amount of $ 1.5 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 . 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”), which was originally scheduled to mature on July 11, 2026 . On June 6, 2025, this agreement was amended and restated to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date to June 6, 2030 , and (ii) modify certain financial definitions and covenants. 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. Beginning in June 2026 and continuing through June 2027, we are required to make quarterly payments of $ 5 million. In September 2027, the quarterly payment amount increases to $ 9 million, continuing through June 2030 with the remaining balance due June 6, 2030. As of September 27, 2025, the borrowings outstanding under this term loan were $ 749 million. At September 27, 2025, the interest rate under the Term Credit Agreement was 4.18 % plus 1.25 %, for a combined rate of 5.43 %. As of December 28, 2024, the borrowings outstanding under this term loan were $ 712 million. At December 28, 2024, the interest rate under the Term Credit Agreement was 4.45 % plus 1.60 %, for a combined rate of 6.05 %. However, at December 28, 2024, we had a hedge in place creating an effective fixed rate of 6.04 %. After renewing the Term Credit Agreement in June of 2025, our hedged portion of the Term Credit Agreement was approximately 91 % of the notional total. As of September 27, 2025, the effective fixed rate was 5.69 % and the floating rate was 5.43 %, resulting in a weighted average rate of 5.67 %. 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 . On December 6, 2024, we extended the expiration date of this facility agreement to December 6, 2027 (the previous maturity date was December 15, 2025 ). This facility agreement has a purchase limit of $ 450 million with two banks as agents. As of September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the borrowings outstanding under this securitization facility were $ 400 million and $ 150 million, respectively. At September 27, 2025, the interest rate on borrowings under this facility was based on the asset-backed commercial paper rate of 4.36 % plus 0.75 %, for a combined rate of 5.11 %. At December 28, 2024, the interest rate on borrowings under this facility was based on the asset-backed commercial paper rate of 4.73 % plus 0.75 %, for a combined rate of 5.48 %.

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.
Note 9 – Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 27, 2025, our effective tax rate was 21.3 %, compared to 24.7 % for the prior year period. The difference between our effective and federal statutory tax rates primarily relates to state and foreign income taxes and interest expense. For the three months ended September 27, 2025, the difference was further impacted by the tax treatment associated with the acquisition of a controlling interest of a previously held non-controlling equity investment. For the nine months ended September 27, 2025, our effective tax rate was 23.5 %, compared to 25.1 % for the prior year period. The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate is primarily due to state and foreign income taxes and interest expense. For the nine months ended September 27, 2025, the difference was further impacted by the tax treatment associated with the acquisition of a controlling interest of a previously held non-controlling equity investment. On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the reconciliation tax bill, commonly known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA), into law. Corporate provisions in the OBBBA include immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, limitations on certain deductions and modifications to international tax provisions. As a result of the OBBBA, we anticipate a reduction in current income tax liabilities and deferred tax assets. The “Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development” (OECD) issued technical and administrative guidance on Pillar Two 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 rules. 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 September 27, 2025, the impact of the Pillar Two rules to our financial statements was immaterial. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, which are included in “other liabilities” within our condensed consolidated balance sheets, as of September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 was $ 114 million and $ 108 million, respectively, of which $ 107 million and $ 100 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 2020. The tax years subject to examination by the IRS include years 2021 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 $ 2 million and $ 0 million for the three months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, respectively. The amount of tax interest expense included as a component of the provision for taxes was $ 3 million and $ 1 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, respectively. The total amount of accrued interest is included in other liabilities within our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and was $ 21 million as of September 27, 2025 and $ 18 million as of December 28, 2024. The amount of penalties accrued for during the periods presented was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 10 – Plans of Restructuring
On August 6, 2024, we committed to a new restructuring plan (the “2024 Plan”) to integrate recent acquisitions, right-size operations and further increase efficiencies. We currently expect completion of this plan to be at the end of 2027. During the three months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, we recorded restructuring charges associated with the 2024 Plan of $ 34 million and $ 36 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, we recorded restructuring charges associated with the 2024 Plan of $ 82 million and $ 36 million, respectively. The restructuring costs for these periods primarily related to severance and employee-related costs, accelerated amortization of right-of-use assets and fixed assets, and other exit costs. We expect to record restructuring charges associated with the 2024 Plan through the end of 2027; however, an estimate of the amount of these charges for 2025 through 2027 has not yet been determined. On August 1, 2022, we committed to a restructuring plan (the “2022 Plan”) focused on funding the priorities of the BOLD+1 strategic plan, streamlining operations and other initiatives to increase efficiency. The 2022 Plan was completed as of July 31, 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, in connection with our 2022 Plan, we recorded restructuring costs of $ 12 million and $ 37 million, respectively, which primarily related to severance and employee-related costs, accelerated amortization of right-of-use assets and fixed assets, and other exit costs.
Restructuring costs recorded for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024 in connection with the 2024 Plan and 2022 Plan, respectively, consisted of the following:

Note 11 – Legal Proceedings
Henry Schein, Inc. has been named as a defendant in multiple opioid related lawsuits (currently less than twenty ( 20 ); 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. The actions that remain 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. Of Henry Schein’s 2024 net sales of approximately $ 12.7 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. 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 27, 2025, 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.

Note 12 – Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based awards are provided to certain employees under our 2024 Stock Incentive Plan (formerly known as our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan) and to non-employee directors under our 2023 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. Starting with our 2023 plan year, we returned to granting our employees equity-based awards solely in the form of time-based RSUs (which vest solely based on the recipient’s continued service over time) and performance-based RSUs (which vest based on achieving specified performance measurements and the recipient’s continued service over time). Our non-employee directors receive equity-based awards solely in the form of time-based RSUs. In our 2025 plan year, stock awards issued to our Chief Executive Officer were allocated 35 % to time-based RSU awards with four-year cliff vesting and 65 % to performance-based RSU awards with three-year cliff vesting. In our 2025 plan year, stock awards issued to members of our Executive Management Committee were allocated 50 % to time-based RSU awards with four-year cliff vesting and 50 % to performance-based RSU awards with three-year cliff vesting. In our 2025 plan year, stock awards issued to our eligible vice-presidents were allocated 80 % to time-based RSU awards and 20 % to performance-based RSU awards with three-year cliff vesting. Our vice-president level time- based awards will vest 50 % on the third anniversary of the grant date with the remaining 50 % vesting on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. In our 2025 plan year, we began granting only time-based RSU awards to our eligible director level employees. Our director level time-based RSU awards will vest 50 % on the third anniversary of the grant date with the remaining 50 % vesting on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. 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 for RSU awards granted prior to 2025 and with vesting upon third and fourth anniversary of the grant date for RSU awards granted in 2025 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 the performance-based RSUs and the time-based RSUs with cliff vesting (issued in 2022-2024 plan years), we recognize the cost as compensation expense on a straight-line basis. For the time-based RSUs with graded vesting (issued in the 2025 plan year), we recognize the cost as compensation expense on an accelerated 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 2024 Stock Incentive Plan, such performance measurement adjustments relate to significant events, including, without limitation, acquisitions, divestitures, new business ventures, changes in fair value of contingent consideration (solely with respect to performance-based RSUs granted in the 2024 and 2025 plan years), certain capital transactions (including share

repurchases), differences in budgeted average outstanding shares (other than those resulting from capital transactions referred to above), restructuring costs, amortization expense recorded for acquisition-related intangible assets, certain litigation settlements or payments, 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 2023 plan year), intangibles impairment charges and costs related to shareholder advisory matters (solely with respect to performance-based RSUs granted in the 2025 plan year). Over the performance period, the number of performance-based 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 against the pre-determined performance metrics (in each case as adjusted). 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 on an accelerated basis. We estimate grant date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. During the nine months ended September 27, 2025, we did no t grant any stock options.
Our condensed consolidated statements of income reflect pre-tax share-based compensation expense of $ 13 million and $ 29 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, we recorded pre-tax share-based compensation expense of $ 10 million and $ 30 million. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards as of September 27, 2025 was $ 80 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.5 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 nine months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024.

Note 15 – 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:

In accordance with the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we provide the following cautionary remarks regarding important factors that, among others, could cause future results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, expectations and assumptions expressed or implied herein.
All forward-looking statements made by us are subject to risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance and achievements or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

We caution that these factors may not be exhaustive and that many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Accordingly, any forward-looking statements contained herein should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results. We undertake no duty and have no obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required by law.
Where You Can Find Important Information
We may disclose important information through one or more of the following channels: SEC filings, public conference calls and webcasts, press releases, the investor relations page of our website (www.henryschein.com)
and the social media channels identified on the About Media Center page of our website.
Recent Developments
While the U.S. economy has experienced inflationary pressures and fluctuation of the U.S. dollar, their impacts have not been material to our results of operations. Though inflation impacts both our revenues and costs, the depth and breadth of our product portfolio often allows us to offer lower-cost national brand solutions or corporate brand alternatives to our more price-sensitive customers who are unwilling to absorb price increases, thus positioning us to protect our gross profit.
Segment Reporting
During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, we revised our reportable segments to align with how the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer manages the business, assesses performance and allocates resources. Our revised reportable segments now consist of: (i) Global Distribution and Value -Added Services; (ii)
Global Specialty Products; and (iii) Global Technology.
Global Distribution and Value-Added Services includes distribution to the global dental and medical markets of national brand and corporate brand merchandise, as well as equipment and related technical services. This segment also includes value-added services such as financial services, continuing education services, consulting and other services. This segment also markets and sells under our own corporate brand a portfolio of cost-effective, highquality consumable merchandise. Global Specialty Products includes manufacturing, marketing and sales of dental implant and biomaterial products; and endodontic, orthodontic and orthopedic products and other health carerelated products and services. Global Technology includes development and distribution of practice management software, e-services and other products, which are distributed to health care providers.
Cyber Incident
As previously reported, 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.
During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, we had a sales decrease in our dental and medical distribution businesses, which we believe was primarily a result of lower sales to episodic customers following the cyber incident.
With respect to the October 2023 cyber incident, we have a $60 million insurance policy, following a $5 million retention. During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025, we did not incur any expenses directly related to the cyber incident. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 we incurred $3 million and $8 million, respectively, of expenses related to the cyber incident, mostly consisting of professional fees.
During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, we received insurance proceeds of $10 million and $20 million, respectively, representing a partial insurance recovery of losses related to the cyber incident. During the three months ended March 29, 2025 we received insurance proceeds of $20 million, representing the remaining
38
Table of Contents
insurance recovery of losses related to the cyber incident. The expenses and insurance recoveries related to the cyber incident are included in the selling, general and administrative line in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
Tariffs and Related Economic Conditions
The U.S. has adopted new and increased tariffs on imports from countries, subject to evolving exemptions, with additional tariff increases proposed but currently on pause. Some countries have imposed retaliatory tariffs and other restrictions on imports from the U.S. The U.S. government is reported to be in negotiations with certain other countries over tariff rates and other trade policies. These developments, and anticipated future developments, have created a volatile environment for global trade, and new trade policies with individual countries, if finalized, are expected to be announced incrementally over a period of time.
The tariffs did not have a material impact on our results of operations in the first, second, or third quarter of this fiscal year, although sales of U.S. dental equipment were temporarily impacted by market uncertainty related to tariffs in the second half of the quarter ended June 28, 2025. It is unclear whether, or the extent to which, the current tariffs on trade with numerous countries will remain in place, or change, the exceptions that may apply, and their timing.
One Big Beautiful Bill Act
In the United States, the OBBBA, signed into law on July 4, 2025, includes a number of provisions that are expected to result in reductions in the number of Medicaid enrollees, which will reduce utilization of services and covered products generally. There are also several provisions that will reduce federal funding to state Medicaid programs. The OBBBA, in combination with tariffs, will almost certainly have an adverse impact on utilization, Medicaid payment and cost of production (if foreign components are used).
The OBBBA also includes changes to corporate tax rates, limitations on certain deductions and modifications to international tax provisions.

Executive-Level Overview
Henry Schein, Inc. is a solutions company for health care professionals powered by a network of people and technology.Webelieve we are the world’s largest provider of health care products and services primarily to officebased dental and medical practitioners, as well as alternate sites of care.Weserve more than one million customers
worldwide including dental practitioners, laboratories, physician practices and ambulatory surgery centers, as well as government, institutional health care clinics, home health providers, and other alternate care clinics.Webelieve that we have a strong brand identity due to our more than 93 years of experience distributing health care products.
Weare headquartered in Melville, New York, employ more than 25,000 people (of which approximately 13,000 are based outside of the United States) and have operations or affiliates in 33 countries and territories. Our broad global footprint has evolved over time through our organic growth as well as through contribution from strategic acquisitions.
Wehave established strategically located distribution centers around the world to enable us to better serve our customers and increase our operating efficiency. This infrastructure, together with broad product and service offerings at competitive prices, and a strong commitment to customer service, enables us to be a single source of supply for our customers’ needs.
As a distributor, we market and sell branded products as well as our own corporate brand portfolio of cost-effective, high-quality consumable merchandise products.Wealso manufacture, source and sell a range of company-owned
manufactured products, primarily implants, biomaterial products, endodontics, handpiece and small equipment, hand instrument and repair, restoratives, orthodontics, wound care, orthopedics and dental lab products.Wehave achieved scale in these global businesses primarily through acquisitions, as manufacturers of these products typically do not utilize a distribution channel to serve customers.
During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, we revised our reportable segments to align with how the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer manages the business, assesses performance and allocates resources. Our revised reportable segments now consist of: (i) Global Distribution and Value -Added Services; (ii)
Global Specialty Products; and (iii) Global Technology.
Global Distribution and Value-Added Services includes distribution to the global dental and medical markets of national brand and corporate brand merchandise, as well as equipment and related technical services. This segment also includes value-added services such as financial services, continuing education services, consulting and other services. This segment also markets and sells under our own corporate brand, a portfolio of cost-effective, highquality consumable merchandise. Global Specialty Products includes manufacturing, marketing and sales of dental implant and biomaterial products; and endodontic, orthodontic and orthopedic products and other health carerelated products and services. Global Technology includes development and distribution of practice management software, e-services and other products, which are distributed to health care providers.
A key element to grow closer to our customers is our One Schein initiative, which is a unified go-to-market approach that enables practitioners to work synergistically with our supply chain, equipment sales and service and other value-added services, allowing our customers to leverage the combined value that we offer through a single program. Specifically, One Schein provides customers with streamlined access to our comprehensive offering of national brand products, corporate brand products and proprietary specialty products and solutions (including implant, orthodontic and endodontic products). In addition, customers have access to a wide range of services, including software and other value-added services.
Industry Overview
In recent years, the health care industry has increasingly focused on cost containment. This trend has benefited distributors capable of providing a broad array of products and services at low prices. It also has accelerated the growth of DSOs, GPOs, HMOs, group practices, other managed care accounts and collective buying groups, which, in addition to their emphasis on obtaining products at competitive prices, tend to favor distributors capable of providing specialized management information support.Webelieve that the trend towards cost containment has
40
Table of Contents
the potential to favorably affect demand for technology solutions, including software, which can enhance the efficiency and facilitation of practice management.
Our operating results in recent years have been significantly affected by strategies and transactions that we undertook to expand our business, domestically and internationally, in part to address significant changes in the health care industry, including consolidation of health care distribution companies, health care reform, trends toward managed care, cuts in Medicare and collective purchasing arrangements.
Industry Consolidation
The health care products distribution industry, as it relates to office-based health care practitioners, is fragmented and diverse. The industry ranges from sole practitioners working out of relatively small offices to group practices or service organizations ranging in size from a few practitioners to a large number of practitioners who have combined or otherwise associated their practices.
Due in part to the inability of office-based health care practitioners to store and manage large quantities of supplies in their offices, the distribution of health care supplies and small equipment to office-based health care practitioners has been characterized by frequent, small quantity orders, and a need for rapid, reliable and substantially complete order fulfillment. The purchasing decisions within an office-based health care practice are typically made by the practitioner or an administrative assistant. Supplies and small equipment are generally purchased from more than one distributor, with one generally serving as the primary supplier.
The trend of consolidation extends to our customer base. Health care practitioners are increasingly seeking to partner, affiliate or combine with larger entities such as hospitals, health systems, group practices or physician hospital organizations. In many cases, purchasing decisions for consolidated groups are made at a centralized or professional staff level; however, orders are delivered to the practitioners’ offices.
Our approach to acquisitions and joint ventures has been to expand our role as a provider of products and services to the health care industry. This trend has resulted in our expansion into service areas that complement our existing operations and provide opportunities for us to develop synergies with, and thus strengthen, the acquired businesses.
As industry consolidation continues, we believe that we are positioned to capitalize on this trend, as we believe we have the ability to support increased sales through our existing infrastructure, although there can be no assurances that we will be able to successfully accomplish this.Weare focused on building relationships with decision makers who do not reside in the office-based practitioner setting.
As the health care industry continues to change, we continually evaluate possible candidates for joint venture or acquisition and intend to continue to seek opportunities to expand our role as a provider of products and services to the health care industry. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully pursue any such opportunity or consummate any such transaction, if pursued. If additional transactions are entered into or consummated, we would incur merger and/or acquisition-related costs, and there can be no assurance that the integration efforts associated with any such transaction would be successful.
Aging Population and Other Market Influences
The health care products distribution industry continues to experience growth due to the aging population, increased health care awareness, the proliferation of medical technology and testing, new pharmacological treatments, and expanded third-party insurance coverage, partially offset by the effects of unemployment on insurance coverage. In addition, the physician market continues to benefit from the shift of procedures and diagnostic testing from acute care settings to alternate-care sites, particularly physicians’ offices.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Database, between 2025 and 2035, the 45 and older population is expected to grow by approximately 10%. Between 2025 and 2045, this age group is expected to grow by approximately 17%. This compares with expected total U.S. population growth rates of approximately 4% between 2025 and 2035 and approximately 6% between 2025 and 2045.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Database, in 2025 there are approximately seven million Americans aged 85 years or older, the segment of the population most in need of long-term care and elder-care services. By the year 2050, that number is projected to increase to approximately 17 million. The population aged 65 to 84 years is projected to increase by approximately 15% during the same period.
As a result of these market dynamics, annual expenditures for health care services continue to increase in the United States.Webelieve that demand for our products and services will grow while continuing to be impacted by
current and future operating, economic and industry conditions. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, published “National Health Expenditure Data” indicating that total national health care spending reached approximately $4.9 trillion in 2023, or 17.6% of the nation’s gross domestic product, the benchmark measure for annual production of goods and services in the United States. Health care spending is projected to reach approximately $8.6 trillion by 2033, or 20.3% of the nation’s projected gross domestic product.
Webelieve similar demographic changes are also occurring in other markets we serve outside the U.S.
Government
Certain of our businesses involve the distribution, manufacturing, importation, exportation, marketing, sale and promotion of pharmaceuticals and/or medical devices, and in this regard, we are subject to extensive local, state, federal and foreign governmental laws and regulations, including as applicable to our wholesale distribution of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, manufacturing activities, and as part of our specialty home medical supplies businesses that distribute and sell medical equipment and supplies directly to patients. Federal, state and certain foreign governments have also increased enforcement activity in the health care sector, particularly in areas of fraud and abuse, anti-bribery and anti-corruption, controlled substances handling, medical device regulations and data privacy and security standards.
Certain of our businesses involve pharmaceuticals and/or medical devices, including orthopaedic, in vitro diagnostic devices, software regulated as a medical device, and sales of medical equipment and supplies directly to patients, that are paid for by third parties and/or patients and must operate in compliance with a variety of burdensome and complex coding, billing and record-keeping requirements in order to substantiate claims for payment under federal, state and commercial health care reimbursement programs.
Government and private insurance programs fund a large portion of the total cost of medical care, and there have been efforts to limit such private and government insurance programs, including efforts, thus far unsuccessful, to seek repeal of the entire United States Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, each enacted in March 2010.
Certain of our businesses are subject to various additional federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations, including with respect to the sale, transportation, importation, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances; “forever chemicals” such as per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances; amalgam bans;
pricing disclosures; supply chain transparency around labor practices; and safe working conditions. In addition, activities to control medical costs, including laws and regulations lowering reimbursement rates for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, medical supplies and/or medical treatments or services, are ongoing. Laws and regulations are subject to change and their evolving implementation may impact our operations and our financial performance.
Certain of our businesses also maintain contracts with governmental agencies and are subject to certain regulatory requirements specific to government contractors.

Table of Contents
Our businesses are generally subject to numerous laws and regulations that could impact our financial performance, and failure to comply with such laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business. A few noteworthy items that have come into effect recently are noted below:
●Regulation (EU) 2023/1182 of June 14, 2023, entered into force on January 1, 2025, under the conditions set out in Article 14. This regulation lays down specific rules relating to medicinal products for human use intended to be placed on the market in Northern Ireland in accordance with Article 6 of Directive 2001/83/EC.
●Directive No. 2025/794 of April 14, 2025, known as the “Stop-the-Clock” Directive, amended Directives (EU) 2022/2464 (CSRD) and (EU) 2024/1760 (CSDDD) by introducing a uniform two-year postponement of the sustainability reporting and due diligence requirements for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2025 and on or after January 1, 2026.
●Regulation (EU) 2025/327 of February 11, 2025 on the European Health Data Space and amending
Directive 2011/24/EU and Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 establishes the European Health Data Space (EHDS) by providing for common rules, standards and infrastructures and a governance framework, with a view to facilitating access to electronic health data for the purpose of primary use and secondary use of this data. This could potentially affect Henry Schein or its customers.
●In the United States, as noted above, the OBBBA includes a number of provisions that are expected to
result in reductions in the number of Medicaid enrollees, as well as reductions in federal funding to state Medicaid programs, resulting in potentially adverse impacts on utilization of services and coverage of products. The OBBBA also includes changes to corporate tax rates, limitations on certain deductions and modifications to international tax provisions.
A more detailed discussion of governmental laws and regulations is included in Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025.

Plans of Restructuring
On August 6, 2024, we committed to a new restructuring plan (the “2024 Plan”) to integrate recent acquisitions, right-size operations and further increase efficiencies. We currently expect completion of this plan to be at the end of 2027. During the three months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, we recorded restructuring charges associated with the 2024 Plan of $34 million and $36 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, we recorded restructuring charges associated with the 2024 Plan of $82 million and $36 million, respectively. The restructuring costs for these periods primarily related to severance and employee-related costs, accelerated amortization of right-of-use assets and fixed assets, and other exit costs.
We expect to record restructuring charges associated with the 2024 Plan through the end of 2027; however, an estimate of the amount of these charges for 2025 through 2027 has not yet been determined.
On August 1, 2022, we committed to a restructuring plan (the “2022 Plan”) focused on funding the priorities of the BOLD+1 strategic plan, streamlining operations and other initiatives to increase efficiency. The 2022 Plan was completed as of July 31, 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, in connection with our 2022 Plan, we recorded restructuring costs of $12 million and $37 million, respectively, which primarily related to severance and employee-related costs, accelerated amortization of right-of-use assets and fixed assets, and other exit costs.

Global Sales
Global net sales for the three months ended September 27, 2025 increased 5.2%. Foreign exchange and acquisitions contributed 1.2% and 0.7% to sales growth, respectively. The components of our sales increase are presented in the table above.
Global Distribution and Value-Added Services Sales
Global Distribution and Value-Added Services net sales for the three months ended September 27, 2025 increased 4.8%. The components of our sales increase are presented in the table above.
The 2.8% increase in internally generated local currency dental sales was due to merchandise sales growth in the U.S and internationally, and traditional equipment sales growth internationally. The U.S. merchandise growth reflects the positive impact of the targeted promotional programs initiated last quarter.
The 3.0% increase in internally generated local currency medical sales was attributable to growth in medical products and pharmaceuticals and our Home Solutions business, partially offset by lower demand for respiratory diagnostic products and a decline in influenza vaccine sales.
We estimate that sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits were approximately $146 million for the three months ended September 27, 2025, as compared to $155 million for the three months ended September 28, 2024, representing an estimated decrease of $9 million primarily due to lower sales of COVID-19 test kits. The estimated increase in the segment’s internally generated local currency sales, excluding PPE products and COVID-19 test kits, was 3.4%.
Global Specialty Products
Global Specialty Products net sales for the three months ended September 27, 2025 increased 5.9%. The components of our sales increase are presented in the table above.
The 2.8% increase in internally generated local currency sales was attributable to growth in dental implants and biomaterials.
Global Technology
Global Technology net sales for the three months ended September 27, 2025 increased 9.7%. The components of sales growth are presented in the table above.
The internally generated local currency increase of 9.0% in Global Technology sales was primarily attributable to the adoption of our core practice management solutions, particularly our cloud-based platforms, as well as an increase in revenue cycle management solutions.

Gross Profit
Gross profit and gross margin percentages by segment and in total were as follows:| | September 27, | | Gross | September 28, | Gross | | Increase | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | 2025 | Margin % | | 2024 | Margin % | | $ | % |
| Global Distribution and Value -Added Services | $ | 702 | 24.7%$ | | 686 | 25.3%$ | 16 | 2.5% |
| Global Specialty Products | | 204 | 55.3 | | 196 | 56.3 | 8 | 4.0 |
| Global Technology | | 115 | 66.9 | | 107 | 68.1 | 8 | 7.7 |

| Total | $ | 1,026 | 30.7$ | | 993 | 31.3$ | 33 | 3.3 |
As a result of different practices of categorizing costs associated with distribution networks throughout our industry, our gross margins may not necessarily be comparable to other distribution companies. Gross margin percentages vary between our segments. We realize substantially higher gross margin from sales of products that we develop and manufacture within our Global Specialty Products segment compared to gross margin from sales of products that we distribute within our Global Distribution and Value-Added Services segment. Within our Global Technology segment, higher gross margins result from us being both the developer and seller of software products and services.
Within our Global Distribution and Value -Added Services segment, gross profit margins may vary between the periods as a result of the changes in the mix of products sold as well as changes in our customer mix. With respect to customer mix, sales to our large-group customers are typically completed at lower gross margins due to the higher volumes sold as opposed to the gross margin on sales to office-based practitioners, which normally purchase lower volumes.
The increase in Global Distribution and Value-Added Services gross profit for the three months ended September 27, 2025 compared to the prior-year-period was attributable to the growth in internally generated sales volume as described above. The decrease in gross margin rates was attributable to product mix.
The increase in Global Specialty Products gross profit reflects increased internally generated sales volume as described above. The decrease in gross margin rates was due to product mix.
The increase in Global Technology gross profit is the result of increased internally generated sales volume as described above. The decrease in gross margin rates was due to an increase in customer service expense.

The components of the net increase in total operating expenses are presented in the table above. The increase in operating costs (excluding acquisitions) during the three months ended September 27, 2025 included an increase in Corporate investments in technology supporting the launch of our Global E-Commerce Platform (www.henryschein.com) and the impact of certain compensation related costs, partially offset by a gain of $28 million related to the remeasurement to fair value of a previously held equity investment within our Global Specialty Products segment.
Other Expense, Net

| Other, net | | (1) | (2) | | 1 | (40.8) |
| Other expense, net | $ | (30)$ | (29) | $ | (1) | (2.4) |
Interest income increased primarily due to increased interest rates. Interest expense increased primarily due to increased borrowings.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 21.3% for the three months ended September 27, 2025, compared to 24.7% for the prior year period. The difference between our effective and federal statutory tax rates primarily relates to state and foreign income taxes and interest expense. For the three months ended September 27, 2025, the difference was further impacted by the tax treatment associated with the acquisition of a controlling interest of a previously held non-controlling equity investment.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the reconciliation tax bill, commonly known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA), into law. Corporate provisions in the OBBBA include immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, limitations on certain deductions, and modifications to international tax provisions. As a result of the OBBBA, we anticipate a reduction in current income tax liabilities and deferred tax assets.
The OECD issued technical and administrative guidance on Pillar Two 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 rules. 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 September 27, 2025, the impact of the Pillar Two rules to our financial statements was immaterial.

Global Distribution and Value-Added Services net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2025 increased 2.4%. The components of our sales increase are presented in the table above.
The 0.4% increase in internally generated local currency dental sales was primarily due to sales growth in U.S and international dental merchandise as well as growth in international equipment.
The 3.0% increase in internally generated local currency medical sales was attributable to growth of our Home Solutions business, and medical products and pharmaceuticals.
The decrease in internally generated local currency value-added services sales was attributable primarily to lower sales in our practice transitions business, which can fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
We estimate that sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits were approximately $448 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2025, as compared to $475 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2024, representing an estimated decrease of $27 million primarily due to lower glove prices and lower sales of COVID-19 test kits. The estimated increase in the segment’s internally generated local currency sales, excluding PPE products and COVID-19 test kits, was 1.8%.
Global Specialty Products
Global Specialty Products net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2025 increased 4.0%. The components of our sales increase are presented in the table above.
The 2.3% increase in internally generated local currency sales was attributable to growth in our implant and biomaterial businesses, partially offset by a decline in orthodontic sales.
Global Technology
Global Technology net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2025 increased 6.7%. The components of sales growth are presented in the table above.
The internally generated local currency increase of 6.3% in Global Technology sales was primarily attributable to the adoption of our core practice management solutions, particularly our cloud-based platforms, as well as an increase in revenue cycle management solutions.

Gross Profit
Gross profit and gross margin percentages by segment and in total were as follows:| | September 27, | | Gross | September 28, | Gross | | Increase / (Decrease) | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | 2025 | Margin % | | 2024 | Margin % | | $ | % | |
| Global Distribution and Value -Added Services | $ | 2,071 | 25.1%$ | 2,094 | | 26.0%$ | (23) | (1.1) | % |

| Total | $ | 3,042 | 31.2$ | 3,023 | | 31.9$ | 19 | 0.6 | |
As a result of different practices of categorizing costs associated with distribution networks throughout our industry, our gross margins may not necessarily be comparable to other distribution companies. Gross margin percentages vary between our segments. We realize substantially higher gross margin from sales of products that we develop and manufacture within our Global Specialty Products segment compared to gross margin from sales of products that we distribute within our Global Distribution and Value-Added Services segment. Within our Global Technology segment, higher gross margins result from us being both the developer and seller of software products and services.
Within our Global Distribution and Value -Added Services segment, gross profit margins may vary between the periods as a result of the changes in the mix of products sold as well as changes in our customer mix. With respect to customer mix, sales to our large-group customers are typically completed at lower gross margins due to the higher volumes sold as opposed to the gross margin on sales to office-based practitioners, which normally purchase lower volumes.
The decrease in Global Distribution and Value-Added Services gross profit for the nine months ended September 27, 2025 compared to the prior-year-period is due to decreased internally generated sales volume as described above. The decrease in gross margin rates was attributable to the impact of targeted promotional programs and lower gross margins on glove sales.
The increase in Global Specialty Products gross profit reflects increased internally generated sales volume and gross profit from acquisitions. Gross margin rates were relatively flat.
The increase in Global Technology gross profit is the result of higher internally generated sales. Gross margin rates were relatively flat.

The net decrease in operating expenses was attributable to the following:| | Operating Costs | | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| Total operating expenses | $ | (5)$ | 18$ | (18)$ | (5) | |
The components of the net decrease in total operating expenses are presented in the table above. The decrease in operating costs (excluding acquisitions) during the nine months ended September 27, 2025 included cost savings from our restructuring activities, certain changes in estimates and other operating cost efficiencies, partially offset by an increase in Corporate investments in technology supporting the launch of our Global E-Commerce Platform (www.henryschein.com), the impact of certain compensation related costs, and the timing of certain non-income tax credits. In addition, during the nine months ended September 27, 2025, our operating costs were impacted by recognition of remeasurement gains related to the remeasurement to fair value of previously held equity investments of $28 million within our Global Specialty Products segment and $4 million within our Global Distribution and Value-Added Services segment. During the nine months ended September 28, 2024, our operating costs were impacted by recognition of a remeasurement gain related to the remeasurement to fair value of a previously held equity investments of $18 million within our Global Distribution and Value -Added Services segment.
Other Expense, Net

| Other expense, net | $ | (90)$ | (79) | $ | (11) | (14.1) |
Interest income increased primarily due to increased interest rates. Interest expense increased primarily due to increased borrowings.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 23.5% for the nine months ended September 27, 2025, compared to 25.1% for the prior year period. The difference between our effective and federal statutory tax rates primarily relates to state and foreign income taxes and interest expense. For the nine months ended September 27, 2025, the difference was further impacted by the tax treatment associated with the acquisition of a controlling interest of a previously held non-controlling equity investment.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the reconciliation tax bill, commonly known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA), into law. Corporate provisions in the OBBBA include, immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, limitations on certain deductions, and modifications to international tax provisions. As a result of the OBBBA, we anticipate a reduction in current income tax liabilities and deferred tax assets.

The OECD issued technical and administrative guidance on Pillar Two 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 rules. 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 September 27, 2025, the impact of the Pillar Two rules to our financial statements was immaterial.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal capital requirements have included funding of acquisitions, purchases of additional noncontrolling interests, repayments of debt principal, the funding of working capital needs, purchases of fixed assets and repurchases of common stock. Working capital requirements generally result from increased sales, special inventory forward buy-in opportunities and payment terms for receivables and payables. Historically, sales have tended to be stronger during the second half of the year and special inventory forward buy-in opportunities have been most prevalent just before the end of the year, and have caused our working capital requirements to be higher from the end of the third quarter to the end of the first quarter of the following year.
We finance our business primarily through cash generated from our operations, revolving credit facilities and debt placements. Please seeNote 8 – Debtfor further information. Our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations is dependent on the continued demand of our customers for our products and services, and access to products and services from our suppliers.
Our business requires a substantial investment in working capital, which is susceptible to fluctuations during the year as a result of inventory purchase patterns and seasonal demands. Inventory purchase activity is a function of sales activity, special inventory forward buy-in opportunities and our desired level of inventory.
We finance our business to provide adequate funding for at least 12 months. Funding requirements are based on forecasted profitability and working capital needs, which, on occasion, may change. Consequently, we may change our funding structure to reflect any new requirements.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, our ability to access private debt markets and public equity markets, and our available funds under existing credit facilities provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our currently foreseeable short-term and long-term capital needs.
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.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $331 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2025, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $644 million for the prior year. The net change of $313 million was primarily attributable to changes in working capital accounts (primarily accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable and accrued expenses). Our operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 28, 2024 were affected by the residual impacts of the 2023 cyber incident and included a higher-than-normal level of cash collections. Our cash collections normalized during the nine months ended September 27, 2025.
Net cash used in investing activities was $253 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2025, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $372 million for the prior year. The net change of $119 million was primarily attributable to reduced payments for equity investments and business acquisitions.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $18 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2025, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $306 million for the prior year. The net change of $324 million was primarily due to increased net borrowings from debt to finance our investments and proceeds received from the issuance of common stock, and a reduction in acquisitions of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries, partially offset by increased repurchases of common stock.

Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances and investments in money market funds representing overnight investments with a high degree of liquidity.
Accounts receivable days sales outstanding and inventory turns
Our accounts receivable days sales outstanding from operations decreased to 45.3 days as of September 27, 2025 from 48.6 days as of September 28, 2024, which was primarily attributable to impact that the cyber incident had on the cash collections during the three months ended March 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 27, 2025, we wrote off approximately $12 million of fully reserved accounts receivable against our trade receivable reserve. Our inventory turns from operations decreased to 4.8 as of September 27, 2025 from 5.0 as of September 28, 2024. Our working capital accounts may be impacted by current and future economic conditions.
Leases
Wehave operating and finance leases for corporate offices, office space, distribution and other facilities, vehicles
and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining terms of less than one year to approximately 16 years, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years. As of September 27, 2025, our right-of-use assets related to operating leases were $308 million and our current and non-current operating lease liabilities were $81 million and $264 million, respectively.
Stock Repurchases
On January 27, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $500 million in shares of our common stock.
On May 19, 2025, we executed an accelerated share repurchase program to repurchase a total of $250 million of our outstanding common stock based on volume-weighted average prices. In May 2025, we received 3,122,832 shares at an estimated fair value of $224 million. In July 2025, we received an additional 368,651 shares at an estimated fair value of $26 million, representing the final amount of shares to be received under this accelerated share repurchase program.
On September 8, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $750 million in shares of our common stock.
From March 3, 2003 through September 27, 2025, we repurchased $5.8 billion, or 105,063,756 shares, under our common stock repurchase programs, with $980 million available as of September 27, 2025 for future common stock share repurchases.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Some minority stockholders in certain of our subsidiaries have the right, at certain times, to require us to acquire their ownership interest in those entities at fair value. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 480-10 is applicable for noncontrolling interests where we are or may be required to purchase all or a portion of the outstanding interest in a consolidated subsidiary from the noncontrolling interest holder under the terms of a put option contained in contractual agreements. As of September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, our balance for redeemable noncontrolling interests was $877 million and $806 million, respectively.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 27, 2025, to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to them as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and that all such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and the rules of the Nasdaq stock exchange.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The combination of acquisitions, continued acquisition integrations and systems implementation activity undertaken during the quarter ended September 27, 2025, and carried over from prior quarters, when considered in the aggregate, represents a material change in our internal control over financial reporting.
During the quarter ended September 27, 2025, we completed the acquisition of a controlling interest of a Global Specialty Products segment affiliate. Also, post-acquisition integration related activities continued for businesses acquired during prior quarters within our Global Specialties Products segment and Global Distribution and Value- Added Services segment. These acquisitions, the majority of which utilize separate information and financial accounting systems, have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements since their respective dates of acquisition.
55
Table of Contents
Additionally, during the quarter ended September 27, 2025, we continued systems implementation activities for the phased roll-out of a new e-commerce system for our Global Distribution and Value -Added Services segment in the U.S. and Canada. Finally, we completed the systems implementation activities for upgrading the ERP business system for our Global Distribution and Value-Added Services segment in Australia and New Zealand.
All acquisitions, continued acquisition integrations, and systems implementation activities involve necessary and appropriate change-management controls that are considered in our quarterly assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

Purchases of equity securities by the issuer
Our share repurchase program, announced on March 3, 2003, originally allowed us to repurchase up to two million shares pre-stock splits (eight million shares post-stock splits) of our common stock, which represented approximately 2.3% of the shares outstanding at the commencement of the program. Subsequent additional increases since 2003 that have aggregated to an additional $6.7 billion, authorized by our Board, to the repurchase program provide for a total of $6.8 billion (including $500 million authorized on January 27, 2025 and an additional $750 million authorized on September 8, 2025) of shares of our common stock to be repurchased under this program, with $980 million currently available for future share repurchases.
On May 19, 2025, we executed an accelerated share repurchase program to repurchase a total of $250 million of our outstanding common stock based on volume-weighted average prices. In May 2025 we received 3,122,832 shares at an estimated fair value of $224 million, which were recorded in treasury stock.

KKR Investment
On November 4, 2025, the Company and KKR entered into an amendment to the Strategic Partnership Agreement, dated January 29, 2025 (the “Agreement”), between the parties that increased the beneficial ownership limit from 14.9% to 19.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock that KKR is permitted to acquire during the standstill period. The standstill provisions, including the increased ownership limit, continue in effect for a period of six months following the later of the expiration of the term of the Agreement and the date on which no KKR director appointed pursuant to the Agreement is serving on the Board of Directors.
Extension of 2024 Restructuring Plan
On August 6, 2024, we committed to a new restructuring plan (the “2024 Plan”) to integrate recent acquisitions, right-size operations and further increase efficiencies. We currently expect completion of this plan to be at the end of 2027. Since the 2024 Plan initiation we recorded restructuring charges of $155 million, and we currently expect to record additional restructuring charges associated with the plan in 2025 and through the end of 2027; however, an estimate of the amount of these charges for 2025 through 2027 has not yet been determined.
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements
