TO OUR
SHAREHOLDERS,
TEAmmATES,
AND FRIENDS:

“Together, our Domestic and 
International platforms are 
positioned to serve the two 
regions of the world where 
three-quarters of the global 
healthcare expenditure occurs – 
the United States and Europe.”

For  a  company  that  will  mark  its  132nd  year 

in  operation  in  2014,  we  can  point  to  many 
achievements since we opened our doors in 1882. 
However,  I  believe  that  one  of  our  most  important 
achievements  is  our  enduring  ability  to  focus  on  the 
future, no matter what conditions we face in the healthcare 
market and in the economy. Over the generations, we have 
been able to chart a steady course by staying focused on 
delivering long-term value and making investments that 
will serve us well over the long run. 

With  2013  behind  us,  we  accomplished  most  of  the 
operational and financial goals 
we  established  for  the  year, 
and certain of these milestones 
illustrate  our  ability  to  move 
our  company 
forward.  We 
celebrated our first full year of 
operations in Europe with our 
Movianto  team.  Shareholders’ 
equity  exceeded  the  $1  billion 
mark for the first time in 2013, 
and we made a record amount 
of  shareholder  distributions 
last  year.  Annual  revenues 
exceeded  $9  billion  for  the 
first  time,  and  we  reached 
our  targeted  revenue  growth 
range  on  a  consolidated  basis, 
thanks  to  the  hard  work  of 
our  sales  teams  in  the  U.S. 
and  Europe.  We  achieved  this 
revenue  target  despite  certain 
challenging  macro  economic 
lower 
conditions, 
rates  of  healthcare  utilization, 
new  healthcare  legislation,  and  negligible  price  inflation 
on medical products. 

including: 

Despite 

these  conditions,  our  Domestic 

teams 
achieved  positive  revenue  growth  in  the  second  half  of 
the year. And, with new leadership in place at Movianto 
and  the  hard  work  of  our  European  teammates,  our 
International  segment  steadily  improved  throughout 
the year. I am pleased to report that the Movianto team 
achieved  two  consecutive  profitable  quarters  in  the 
second  half  of  2013  and  improved  operating  earnings 
over the course of the year.

Last year, we reached another milestone by completing 
the  last  of  the  contract  renewals  with  the  major  group 
purchasing organizations (GPOs). Putting this 18-month 

process  in  our  rear-view  mirror  enables  us  to  fully  concentrate  on  building  our 
relationships with the individual GPO members – the provider hospitals and health 
systems who are our customers. 

During the year, we also refocused our management teams so that we have the ex-
pertise and resources dedicated to serve not only our healthcare provider customers, 
but our manufacturer customers, as well. Our relationships with healthcare manufac-
turers  are  important  building  blocks  for  our  future.  Domestically,  we  provide  valu-
able  services  to  our  manufacturers  such  as  warehousing,  distribution,  sales,  invoic-
ing, collections, and channel access to more than 40% of the acute-care distribution 
market. Internationally, where our primary customers are healthcare manufacturers, 
we provide a range of outsourced logistics services. With our legacy expertise and re-
lationships in healthcare and our established platforms on two continents, we believe 
we are uniquely positioned to execute our vision of Connecting the World of Medical 
Products to the Point of CareTM. 

Finally,  we  continued  our  tradition  of  creating  value  for  our  investors  with  total 
shareholder distributions of nearly $80 million in dividends and share repurchases in 
2013. With an attractive dividend yield and new share repurchase program, we have the 
strategy and the means to enhance our long-term value for our shareholders. 

While  there  were  many  challenges  in  the  healthcare  market  over  the  last  four 
years, we remained focused on our future. We have invested more than $330 million 
in growth investments, including the acquisition of Movianto, an established, leading 
European  healthcare  logistics  business.  The  investments  we  made  over  this  period 
share a common focus – expanding our addressable market in healthcare and building 
our infrastructure to support evolving customer needs. For example, in response to a 
growing demand from manufacturers for logistics services, we invested in developing 
our healthcare logistics business. We also established a sourcing arm in Asia, which is 
supporting our three-pronged sourcing strategy – growing our private label, working 
with  branded  manufacturers  and  working  with  diversity  suppliers.  In  addition,  over 
this same time period, we distributed approximately $260 million to our shareholders. 
We firmly believe that these achievements over the last four years have put us in a much 
stronger position than ever before to embrace emerging opportunities in healthcare. 

Turning to our financial results for 2013, consolidated revenues grew 2.3% to $9.07 
billion, including revenues of $384 million from the International segment. Offsetting 
this  increase  in  International  revenues  was  a  slight  decline  in  Domestic  revenue 
results,  primarily  resulting  from  the  continuing  headwinds  we  cited  consistently 
throughout the year. 

Adjusted  consolidated  operating  earnings,  excluding  $12.4  million  in  pre-tax 
acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges, were $211 million, or 2.32% of 
revenues, which is an improvement of $4 million compared to the year before. The 
International segment narrowed its operating losses throughout the year by $4 million 
and reported an operating loss of $1.4 million for the year. The Movianto team did a 
great job in improving their performance under the guidance of the new leadership 
team. For the year, adjusted consolidated net income was $120 million, or $1.90 per 
diluted share, an improvement of five cents, when compared to the year before. 

In  looking  back,  we  see  that  2013  was  another  solid  year  of  investment  in  our 
strategy  to  expand  our  reach  into  the  global  healthcare  markets  and  modernize  
our  platforms  so  that  we  may  continue  to  adapt  to  changes  in  our  markets  and 
embrace  emerging  opportunities.  With  every  strategic  decision  we  make,  we  
know  we  must  also  deliver  long-term  value  to  our  shareholders.  Part  of  this  value

creation  comes  from  our  capital  allocation  strategy.  We  are  in  the  final  year  of  a 
three-year, $50 million investment in upgrading and modernizing our information 
technology systems. This phased investment strategy is enabling us to improve our 
key systems and prepare for handling new types of business and services. 

Another important element of our capital allocation strategy is paying dividends to 
our shareholders. In all, this will be the 85th straight year that Owens & Minor has paid 
a dividend. The ten-year cumulative total return for Owens & Minor of 214% exceeds 
that of the S&P 500 over the same period. Already this year, our board has approved a 
4% increase in our first quarter 2014 dividend and established a new, three-year, $100 
million share repurchase program. This share repurchase plan gives us an additional 
means of returning value to shareholders.

Also, as you can see from this year’s annual report, we are adapting our approach 
to the market in response to developments in the healthcare market and an evolution 
in  our  customer  mix.  Because  we  provide  much  more  than  traditional  healthcare 
distribution services today, we are positioning Owens & Minor in the market as the 
go-to logistics provider for healthcare manufacturers and providers. Our new tag line 
sums it all up: HEALTHCARE LOGISTICS. EVOLVED TM.

Together,  our  Domestic  and  International  platforms  are  positioned  to  serve 
customers  within  the  two  regions  of  the  world  where  three-quarters  of  the  global 
healthcare expenditure occurs – North America and Europe. By expanding the range 
of services we provide and our customer base, we believe we are better equipped today 
than ever before to tap a larger portion of the global healthcare spend. This is an exciting 
prospect for all of us at Owens & Minor. 

With every passing year comes change. This year, I would like to welcome two new 
directors  to  the  Owens  &  Minor  family:  Stuart  M.  Essig,  the  former  chief  executive 
officer  and  current  board  chairman  of  Integra  LifeSciences  Holdings  Corporation; 
and David S. Simmons, chairman & chief executive officer of Pharmaceutical Product 
Development,  LLC.  We  are  very  pleased  to  welcome  both  gentlemen  to  our  board. 
Stuart and David bring a new dimension to the table with expertise in global commerce 
and the medical device and pharmaceutical sides of healthcare. 

As we welcome two new board members, we also say farewell to the long-standing 
chairman of our audit committee. I would like to acknowledge the generous service of 
Richard Fogg, who joined our board in 2003 and who has been our audit committee 
chairman since 2006. Dick Fogg has been a steady leader and expert resource for the 
company  throughout  his  time  on  our  board.  We  deeply  appreciate  the  work  he  has 
done for Owens & Minor and the guidance he has provided. I want to personally thank 
Dick for his many contributions to Owens & Minor and for his friendship. I know I 
speak for all of us, when I wish him well as he retires from our board after our Annual 
Shareholders’ Meeting in May. 

I would also like to thank Jim Bierman for stepping into the role of president of 
Owens  &  Minor  last  year.  Jim  took  on  this  significant  new  responsibility  with  great 
enthusiasm  and  has  done  an  admirable  job  of  preparing  our  company  and  our 
teammates  for  the  opportunities  ahead.  In  addition,  Randy  Meier  joined  Owens  & 
Minor as our new chief financial officer, and his considerable experience in operating 
global healthcare products businesses is strengthening our efforts. 

Every day, we serve thousands of healthcare provider and manufacturer customers 
in the United States and in Europe. We work hard to expand our business, improve 
our earnings power and deliver value to shareholders. Our success depends directly on

our 6,700 teammates stationed in the United States, Europe and 
Asia. Their hard work is the foundation of our success today, but 
their teamwork, expertise and energy will make an even greater 
impact as we prepare for our future. I commend them for their 
enthusiastic commitment to Owens & Minor. Our teammates 
are  also  generous  volunteers,  giving  their  time,  energy  and 
talent to serving the needs of our communities. Each year, our 
teammates  participate  in  a  wide  range  of  community  events, 
raising money and donating time to various community service 
organizations such as food-banks, veterans’ organizations, and 
schools in need. Our teammates place great value on making a 
positive impact in our communities. 

In closing, I would like to thank our shareholders, provider 
and  manufacturer  customers,  and  business  partners  for  their 
ongoing support of Owens & Minor. And, I especially want to 
thank our teammates in the U.S., Europe and Asia, who serve 
our company with such dedication every day. I am convinced 
that  every  great  success  is  the  result  of  teamwork,  and  that  is 
what we celebrate every day at Owens & Minor. 

Best wishes for a great year to come, 

Craig R. Smith
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

success is the result of teamwork,

Part I

Item 1. Business 

General 

Owens & Minor, Inc. and subsidiaries (we, us or our), a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, 

is a leading healthcare logistics company that connects the world of medical products to the point of care. We provide vital 
supply chain assistance to the providers of healthcare services and the manufacturers of healthcare products, supplies and 
devices in the United States and Europe.  We serve our customers with a service portfolio that covers procurement, inventory 
management, delivery and sourcing for the healthcare market.  With fully developed networks in the United States and Europe, 
we are equipped to serve a customer base ranging from hospitals, integrated healthcare systems, group purchasing 
organizations, and the U.S. federal government, to manufacturers of life-science and medical devices and supplies, including 
pharmaceuticals in Europe.  The description of our business should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial 
statements and supplementary data included in this Form 10-K. 

 Founded in 1882, Owens & Minor was incorporated in 1926 in Richmond, Virginia. We focus our operations on 

healthcare logistics services and provide our customers with a service portfolio that covers procurement, inventory 
management, delivery and sourcing for the healthcare market. Through organic growth and acquisitions over many years, we 
significantly expanded and strengthened our company, achieving national scale in the United States healthcare market. On 
August 31, 2012, we acquired the Movianto Group (Movianto), an established European healthcare third-party logistics 
provider.  As a result of the acquisition, we have entered into third-party logistics services for the pharmaceutical, 
biotechnology and medical device industries in the European market, leveraging an existing platform that also expands our 
ability to serve our United States-based manufacturer customers on an international level.   

Our Domestic segment includes all functions in the United States relating to our role as a healthcare services 

company providing distribution and logistics services to healthcare providers and manufacturers. The International segment 
consists of Movianto, our European third-party logistics service. Financial information by segment and geographic area 
beginning with the acquisition of Movianto in 2012 appears in Note 20, “Segment Information,” of the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements included in this annual report. 

The Domestic Segment

The Healthcare Supply Industry in the United States

Healthcare supply volumes in the United States are dependent on the rates of utilization of medical/surgical 

procedures by consumers, which are subject to fluctuation according to the condition of the domestic economy and other 
factors.  Aside from consumer-driven activity, the healthcare supply industry is also experiencing growing demand for 
advanced logistics services from healthcare providers and manufacturers that are focused on achieving more efficient and cost-
effective supply-chain operations.

In the United States, healthcare supply distributors contract with group purchasing organizations (GPOs) that 
negotiate distribution contracts on behalf of their healthcare provider members and also contract directly with healthcare 
providers and manufacturers for their services.  

Healthcare providers are increasingly consolidating into larger, more sophisticated networks that are actively 
seeking reductions in the total cost of delivering healthcare products.  These healthcare providers face complex financial 
challenges, including managing the cost of purchasing, receiving, storing and tracking supplies. Economic trends have also 
driven significant consolidation within the healthcare supply industry due to the competitive advantages enjoyed by larger 
organizations.  Among these advantages are the ability to serve customers in widespread geographic locations, purchase 
inventory in large volume, develop technology platforms and decision-support systems and provide expertise to healthcare 
providers and manufacturers to help reduce supply chain costs.

Our Products and Services 

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of products and services to healthcare providers and manufacturers in the 
United States.  Our portfolio of medical and surgical supplies includes branded products purchased in large volume from 
manufacturers and our own proprietary MediChoice® private-label products, which are internally sourced through our sourcing 
joint venture in China or through a select group of manufacturers. We store these items at our distribution centers and provide 
delivery of these products, along with related services, to healthcare providers around the nation.   Most supplies are delivered 
using a leased fleet and almost all of our delivery personnel are our teammates, ensuring a consistent level of performance and 
customer service. In situations where they are more cost-effective and timely, we use contract carriers and parcel delivery 
services. We customize product deliveries, whether the orders are “just-in-time,” “low-unit-of-measure,” pallets, or truckloads.  
We also customize delivery schedules according to customers’ needs to increase their efficiency in receiving and storing the 
product.  We have deployed automation equipment in low-unit-of-measure picking modules in our larger distribution centers to 
maximize efficiency, and our distribution center teammates use voice-pick technology to enhance speed and accuracy in certain 
warehousing processes. 

We also offer additional services to healthcare providers including supplier management, analytics, inventory 

management, outsourced resource management, clinical supply management and business process consulting.   Our value-add 
services help providers improve their process for contracting with vendors, purchasing supplies and streamlining inventory.  
These include our operating room-focused inventory management program that helps healthcare providers manage suture and 
endo-mechanical inventory, as well as our customizable surgical supply service that includes the assembly and delivery of 
surgical supplies in procedure-based totes to coincide with the healthcare providers’ surgical schedule.  

 The majority of our distribution arrangements compensate us on a cost-plus percentage basis, under which a 

negotiated percentage distribution fee is added to the contract cost agreed to by the customer and the supplier.  We price our 
services for certain other activities under an activity-based pricing model.  In these cases, pricing depends upon the range, level 
or complexity of service that we provide to customers, and in some cases we do not take title to the product involved although 
we maintain certain custodial risks.  As a result, this fee-for-service pricing model aligns the fees we charge with the cost of the 
services provided, which is a component of selling, general and administrative expenses, rather than with the cost of the 
product, which is a component of cost of goods sold.

We offer a variety of programs and services dedicated to providing logistics and marketing solutions to our 

manufacturer customers as well. These programs and services are designed to help manufacturers increase market share, drive 
sales growth, or achieve operational efficiencies.  Manufacturer programs are generally negotiated on an annual basis and 
provide for enhanced levels of support that are aligned with the manufacturer’s annual objectives and growth goals. We have 
contractual arrangements with manufacturers participating in these programs that provide performance-based incentives to us, 
as well as cash discounts for prompt payment.  Program incentives can be earned on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. 

All of our services utilize a common infrastructure of distribution centers, equipment, technology, and delivery 

methods (internal fleet, common carrier or parcel services).  We operate a network of 43 distribution centers located throughout 
the continental United States, which are strategically located to efficiently serve our provider and manufacturer customers.   A 
significant investment in information technology supports the business and efficiently manages growth, including warehouse 
management systems, customer service and ordering functions, demand forecasting programs, electronic commerce, data 
warehousing, decision support and supply-chain management, as well as significant enhancements to back office systems and 
overall technology infrastructure.  During 2012, we initiated a three-year, $50 million investment in our information technology 
infrastructure in the United States designed to achieve operational and data-management efficiencies, improve customer 
service, and reduce increases in future operating expenses. 

The International Segment 

Our Products and Services

Our International segment, comprised of Movianto, represented 4.2% of our consolidated net revenues during 2013.   

Movianto is a European contract logistics service provider to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare industry, 
offering a broad range of supply chain logistics services to manufacturers. Our warehousing and transportation offerings 
include storage, controlled-substance handling, cold-chain, emergency and export delivery, inventory management and pick & 
pack services. Our other services include order-to-cash, re-labeling, kitting, packaging, customer service and returns 
management.  

4

Movianto has a network of 20 logistics centers in 11 European countries, including Belgium, Czech Republic, 

Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. To serve its clients, 
Movianto uses a fleet of leased and owned trucks, including cold-chain delivery trucks.  The majority of our drivers are 
Movianto teammates, although contract carriers and parcel services are used in situations where they are more cost-effective 
and timely. 

Movianto’s client contracts are generally for three-year terms with rolling automatic one year extension periods. The 

tendering or competitive bidding process typically takes 12 to 18 months from the initial client request for proposal until 
becoming operational. Movianto offers significant flexibility to tailor contracts to specific client requirements, and it benefits 
from the expansion of clients into additional European countries. Pricing may be activity-based, with fees determined by 
clients’ particular requirements for warehousing, handling and delivery services, or it may be based on buy-sell wholesaler 
arrangements for product and distribution services.  

As a part of the Movianto acquisition in 2012, we entered into transition support services agreements with the 

former owner of Movianto under which it provides certain information technology and support services for terms ranging from 
six to 24 months. These services were substantially completed at the end of 2013.

Our Customers 

We currently provide distribution, outsourced resource management and/or consulting services to thousands of 

healthcare provider customers.  These customers include multi-facility networks of healthcare providers offering a broad 
spectrum of healthcare services to a particular market or markets (IHNs) as well as smaller, independent hospitals in the United 
States.  In addition to contracting with healthcare providers at the IHN level and through GPOs, we also contract with other 
types of healthcare providers including surgery centers, physicians’ practices and smaller networks of hospitals that have joined 
together to negotiate terms.  We have contracts to provide distribution services to the members of a number of national GPOs, 
including Novation, LLC (Novation), MedAssets Inc. (MedAssets), Premier, Inc. (Premier) and HealthTrust Purchasing Group 
(HPG).  In 2012 and 2013, we renewed the distribution agreements with all four GPOs to continue our status as an authorized 
distributor for their member healthcare providers and allow us to compete with other authorized distributors for the business of 
individual members.  Below is a summary of these agreements:

We have our own independent relationships with most of our hospital customers through separate contractual 

commitments that may or may not be based upon the terms of our agreement with the GPO.  As a result, the termination or 
expiration of an agreement with a particular GPO would not necessarily mean that we would lose the members of such GPO as 
our customers. 

Our supplier and manufacturer customers represent the largest and most influential healthcare manufacturers in the 

industry. We have long-term relationships with these important companies in the healthcare supply chain and have long 
provided traditional distribution services to them. We currently have relationships with approximately 1,300 of these supplier 
and manufacturer customers.  In the Domestic segment, sales of products supplied by subsidiaries of Covidien Ltd. accounted 
for approximately 13% of our consolidated net revenue for 2013.  Sales of products supplied by Johnson & Johnson Health 
Care Systems, Inc. were approximately 10% of our consolidated net revenue for 2013. 

In Europe, we serve a diverse customer base of approximately 600 manufacturer clients, including pharmaceutical, 

biotechnology and medical device manufacturers.

  Asset Management  

In the healthcare supply distribution industry, a significant investment in inventory and accounts receivable is 
required to meet the rapid delivery requirements of customers and provide high-quality service. As a result, efficient asset 
management is essential to our profitability. We continually work to refine our processes to optimize inventory and collect 
accounts receivable. 

Inventory 

We are focused in our efforts to optimize inventory and continually consolidate products and collaborate with 

supply-chain partners on inventory productivity initiatives. When we convert large-scale, multi-state IHN customers to our 
distribution network, an additional investment in inventory in advance of expected sales is generally required. We actively 
monitor inventory for obsolescence and use inventory turnover and other operational metrics to measure our performance in 
managing inventory. 

Accounts Receivable 

In the normal course of business, we provide credit to our domestic and European customers and use credit 

management techniques to evaluate customers’ creditworthiness and facilitate collection. These techniques may include 
performing initial and ongoing credit evaluations of customers based primarily on financial information provided by them and 
from sources available to the general public.  We also use third-party information from sources such as credit reporting 
agencies, banks and other credit references. We actively manage our accounts receivable to minimize credit risk, days sales 
outstanding (DSO) and accounts receivable carrying costs.  Our ability to accurately invoice and ship product to customers 
enhances our collection results and drives our positive DSO performance.  We also have arrangements with certain customers 
under which they make deposits on account, either because they do not meet our standards for creditworthiness or in order to 
obtain more favorable pricing. 

Competition  

The medical/surgical supply distribution and healthcare logistics industries are highly competitive in the United 
States and Europe. The U.S. sector includes Owens & Minor, Inc., as well as two major nationwide manufacturers who also 
provide distribution services, Cardinal Health, Inc. and privately-held Medline, Inc.  In addition, we compete with a number of 
regional and local distributors and customer self-distribution models.  Major logistics competitors serving healthcare 
manufacturers in the United States and in Europe include United Parcel Service, FedEx Corporation, Deutsche Post DHL and 
Alloga, as well as local competitors in specific countries. 

Regulation 

The medical/surgical supply distribution industry in the United States is subject to regulation by federal, state and 
local government agencies. Each of our distribution centers is licensed to distribute medical and surgical supplies, as well as 
certain pharmaceutical and related products. We must comply with laws and regulations, including those governing operations, 
storage, transportation, safety and security standards for each of our distribution centers, of the Food and Drug Administration, 
the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Homeland Security, the Occupational 
Safety and Health Administration, and state boards of pharmacy, or similar state licensing boards and regulatory agencies. We 
are also subject to various federal and state laws intended to protect the privacy of health or other personal information and to 
prevent healthcare fraud and abuse. We believe we are in material compliance with all statutes and regulations applicable to 
distributors of medical and surgical supply products and pharmaceutical and related products, including the Healthcare 
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), Medicare, Medicaid, as well as applicable general employment 
and employee health and safety laws and regulations. 

Movianto is subject to local, country and European-wide regulations, including those promulgated by the European 
Medicines Agency (EMA), a decentralized agency of the European Union responsible for the scientific evaluation of medicines 
developed by pharmaceutical companies for use in the European Union. In addition, quality requirements are imposed by 
healthcare industry manufacturers which audit Movianto on a regular basis. Each of our logistics centers in Europe is licensed 
to distribute medical and surgical supplies, as well as certain pharmaceutical and related products, according to the country-
specific requirements. We believe we are in material compliance with all statutes and regulations, including Good Distribution 
Practices sponsored by the European Commission. Movianto is also ISO 9001:2008 certified across the entire enterprise. 

6

 Employees 

At the end of 2013, we employed approximately 4,900 full- and part-time teammates in the Domestic segment and 

1,800 in the International segment. Most of our international teammates are covered by collective bargaining agreements. 
Ongoing teammate training is critical to performance and we use Owens & Minor University®, an in-house training facility, to 
offer classes in leadership, management development, finance, operations, safety and sales.  We continue to have positive 
relationships with teammates and European works councils.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Set forth below are certain risk factors that we currently believe could materially and adversely affect our business, 

financial condition and prospects. These risk factors are in addition to those mentioned in other parts of this report and are not 
all of the risks that we face.  We could also be affected by risks that we currently are not aware of or that we currently do not 
consider material to our business.  

Competition 

The medical/surgical supply distribution industry in the United States is highly competitive and characterized by intense 

pricing pressure. We compete with other national distributors and a number of regional and local distributors, as well as 
customer self-distribution models and, to a lesser extent, certain third-party logistics companies. Competitive factors within the 
medical/surgical supply distribution industry include market pricing, total delivered product cost, product availability, the 
ability to fill and invoice orders accurately, delivery time, range of services provided, efficient product sourcing, inventory 
management, information technology, electronic commerce capabilities, and the ability to meet customer-specific requirements. 
Our success is dependent on the ability to compete on the above factors, while managing internal costs and expenses. These 
competitive pressures could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.  

In addition, in recent years, the healthcare industry in the United States has experienced and continues to experience 

significant consolidation in response to cost containment legislation and general market pressures to reduce costs. This 
consolidation of our customers and suppliers generally gives them greater bargaining power to reduce the pricing available to 
them, which may adversely impact our results of operations.

The healthcare third-party logistics business in both the United States and abroad also is characterized by intense 
competition from a number of international, regional and local companies, including large conventional logistics companies 
that are moving into the healthcare and pharmaceutical distribution business. This competitive market places continuous pricing 
pressure on us from customers and manufacturers that could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition if 
we are unable to continue to increase our revenues and to offset margin reductions caused by pricing pressures through cost 
control measures.

Dependence on Significant Healthcare Provider Customers

In 2013, our top ten customers in the United States represented approximately 23% of our consolidated net revenue. In 
addition, in 2013, approximately 77% of our consolidated net revenue was from sales to member hospitals under contract with 
our largest group purchasing organizations (GPO): Novation, MedAssets and Premier. We could lose a significant customer or 
GPO relationship if an existing contract expires without being replaced or is terminated by the customer or GPO prior to its 

7

 
expiration (if permitted by the applicable contract). Although the termination of our relationship with a given GPO would not 
necessarily result in the loss of all of the member hospitals as customers, any such termination of a GPO relationship, or a 
significant individual customer relationship, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Dependence on Significant Domestic Suppliers

In the United States, we distribute products from nearly 1,300 suppliers and are dependent on these suppliers for the 
continuing supply of products. In 2013, sales of products of our ten largest domestic suppliers accounted for approximately 
53% of consolidated net revenue. We rely on suppliers to provide agreeable purchasing and delivery terms and performance 
incentives. Our ability to sustain adequate operating earnings has been, and will continue to be, partially dependent upon our 
ability to obtain favorable terms and incentives from suppliers, as well as suppliers continuing use of third-party distributors to 
sell and deliver their products. A change in terms by a significant supplier, or the decision of such a supplier to distribute its 
products directly to healthcare providers rather than through third-party distributors, could have a material adverse effect on our 
results of operations.

Integration of Acquisitions

In connection with our growth strategy, we from time to time acquire other businesses that we believe will expand or 

complement our existing businesses and operations. In 2012, we completed our first international acquisition through our 
purchase of Movianto, which has facilities in 11 European countries and operates throughout the European marketplace. The 
integration of acquisitions, particularly international acquisitions, involves a number of significant risks, which may include but 
are not limited to, the following:

•  Expenses and difficulties in the transition and integration of operations and systems;
•  Retention of current customers and the ability to obtain new customers;
•  The assimilation and retention of personnel, including management personnel, in the acquired businesses;
•  Accounting, tax, regulatory and compliance issues that could arise;
•  Difficulties in implementing uniform controls, procedures and policies in our acquired companies, or in remediating 

control deficiencies in acquired companies not formerly subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
•  Unanticipated expenses incurred or charges to earnings based on unknown circumstances or liabilities;
• 
•  General economic conditions in the markets in which the acquired businesses operate; and
•  Difficulties encountered in conducting business in markets where we have limited experience and expertise.

Failure to realize the synergies and other benefits we expect from the acquisition at the pace we anticipate;

If we are unable to successfully complete and integrate our strategic acquisitions in a timely manner, our business, 

growth strategies and results of operations could be adversely affected.

International Operations

Our acquisition of Movianto represents our first significant movement into the international marketplace. Additionally, 

in 2011, we entered into a joint venture in China to provide product sourcing services. Operations outside the United States 
involve issues and risks, including but not limited to the following, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business 
and results of operations:

•  Lack of familiarity with and expertise in conducting business in foreign markets;
• 
•  Unexpected changes in foreign regulations or conditions relating to labor, economic or political environment, and 

Foreign currency fluctuations and exchange risk;

social norms or requirements;

•  Adverse tax consequences and difficulties in repatriating cash generated or held abroad;
•  Local economic environments, such as in the European markets served by Movianto, including recession, inflation, 

indebtedness, currency volatility and competition; and

•  Changes in trade protection laws and other laws affecting trade and investment, including import/export regulations in 

both the United States and foreign countries.

International operations are also subject to risks of violation of laws that prohibit improper payments to and bribery of 

government officials and other individuals and organizations for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. These laws 
include the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and other similar laws and regulations in foreign 
jurisdictions, any violation of which could result in substantial liability and a loss of reputation in the marketplace. Failure to 
comply with these laws also could subject us to civil and criminal penalties that could adversely affect our business and results 
of operations.

Changes in the Healthcare Environment in the United States

We, along with our customers and suppliers, are subject to extensive federal and state regulations relating to healthcare 

as well as the policies and practices of the private healthcare insurance industry. In recent years, there have been a number of 
government and private initiatives to reduce healthcare costs and government spending. These changes have included an 
increased reliance on managed care; reductions in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement levels; consolidation of competitors, 
suppliers and customers; a shift in healthcare provider venues from acute care settings to clinics, physician offices and home 
care; and the development of larger, more sophisticated purchasing groups. All of these changes place additional financial 
pressure on healthcare provider customers, who in turn seek to reduce the costs and pricing of products and services provided 
by us. We expect the healthcare industry to continue to change significantly and these potential changes, which may include a 
reduction in government support of healthcare services, adverse changes in legislation or regulations, and further reductions in 
healthcare reimbursement practices, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

In March 2010, federal healthcare legislation known as the Affordable Care Act was enacted. This healthcare reform 

legislation includes, among other things, provisions for expanded Medicaid eligibility and access to healthcare insurance as 
well as increased taxes and fees on certain corporations and medical products. Effective January 1, 2013, the Affordable Care 
Act imposed a 2.3% federal excise tax on manufacturers for sales of certain medical devices. In the event these manufacturers 
attempt to pass all or a portion of this excise tax through to us, or in the event such tax leads manufacturers to offer less 
favorable terms and incentives to distributors, our profitability could be adversely impacted. The provisions of the Affordable 
Care Act will not be fully implemented until 2018 and, although there is no way to predict the full impact of the law on the 
healthcare industry and our operations, its implementation may have an adverse effect on both customer purchasing and 
payment behavior and supplier product prices and terms of sale, all of which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Regulatory Requirements

We must comply with numerous laws and regulations in the United States, Europe, Asia and other countries where we 

distribute. We also are required to hold permits and licenses and to comply with the operational and security standards of 
various governmental bodies and agencies. Any failure to comply with these laws and regulations or any failure to maintain the 
necessary permits, licenses or approvals, or to comply with the required standards, could disrupt our operations and/or 
adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we are subject to various federal and state laws 
intended to prevent healthcare fraud and abuse. The requirements of these fraud and abuse laws are complicated and subject to 
interpretation and may be applied by a regulator, prosecutor or judge in a manner that could negatively impact us financially or 
operationally.

General Economic Climate

The financial and economic climate in recent years continues to have a negative impact on most sectors of the 

domestic economy and the international markets in which Movianto operates. This uncertain financial and economic climate 
has reduced patient demand for healthcare services, reduced product price inflation, intensified pressures on healthcare 
providers to reduce both costs and purchases of our products and services and could compromise our customers’ ability to 
timely pay for their purchases. Poor economic conditions could lead our suppliers to offer less favorable terms of purchase to 
distributors, which would negatively affect our profitability. These and other possible consequences of financial and economic 
changes could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Bankruptcy, Insolvency or other Credit Failure of Customers

We provide credit in the normal course of business to customers. We perform initial and ongoing credit evaluations of 
customers and maintain reserves for credit losses. The bankruptcy, insolvency or other credit failure of one or more customers 
with substantial balances due to us could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Reliance on Information Systems and Technological Advancement

We rely on information systems to receive, process, analyze and manage data in distributing thousands of inventory 

items to customers from numerous distribution and logistics centers. These systems are also relied upon for billings to and 
collections from customers, as well as the purchase of and payment for inventory and related transactions from our suppliers. In 
addition, the success of our long-term growth strategy is dependent upon the ability to continually monitor and upgrade our 
information systems to provide better service to customers. Our business and results of operations may be materially adversely 
affected if systems are interrupted or damaged by unforeseen events (including cyber attacks) or fail to operate for an extended 
period of time, or if we fail to appropriately enhance our systems to support growth and strategic initiatives.

Changes in Tax Laws

We operate throughout the United States and Europe as well as in China. As a result, we are subjected to the tax laws 

and regulations of the United States federal, state and local governments and of various foreign jurisdictions. From time to 
time, legislative and regulatory initiatives are proposed, including but not limited to proposals to repeal LIFO (last-in, first-out) 
treatment of domestic inventory or changes in tax accounting methods for inventory or other tax items, that could adversely 
affect our tax positions, tax rate or cash payments for taxes.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

Our Domestic segment had 43 distribution centers as well as office and warehouse space across the United States as 

of December 31, 2013. We lease all of these distribution centers from unaffiliated third parties. We also lease offices in China 
and Malaysia as well as small offices for sales and consulting personnel across the United States. In addition, we have a 
warehousing arrangement in Honolulu, Hawaii, with an unaffiliated third party, and lease space on a temporary basis from time 
to time to meet our inventory storage needs. We own our corporate headquarters building, and adjacent acreage, in 
Mechanicsville, Virginia, a suburb of Richmond, Virginia.

Our International segment leases18 and owns two logistics centers across 11 European countries. We also operate 

seven transport depots, of which we lease six and own one. We also lease office space in Stuttgart, Germany.

We regularly assess our business needs and make changes to the capacity and location of distribution and logistics 

centers. We believe that our facilities are adequate to carry on our business as currently conducted. A number of leases are 
scheduled to terminate within the next several years. We believe that, if necessary, we could find facilities to replace these 
leased premises without suffering a material adverse effect on our business.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal actions that are ordinary and incidental to our business, including contract disputes, 

employment, workers’ compensation, product liability, regulatory and other matters. We establish reserves from time to time 
based upon periodic assessment of the potential outcomes of pending matters. In addition, we believe that any potential liability 
arising from employment, product liability, workers’ compensation and other personal injury litigation matters would be 
adequately covered by our insurance coverage, subject to policy limits, applicable deductibles and insurer solvency. While the 
outcome of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe, based on current knowledge and the advice of counsel, 
that the outcome of these currently pending matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on 
our financial condition or results of operations.

Share Repurchase Program. In February 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up 

to $50 million of our outstanding common stock to be executed at the discretion of management over a three-year period, 
expiring in February 2014. The program is intended to offset shares issued in conjunction with our stock incentive plan and 
may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we repurchased in open-market 
transactions and retired 560 thousand shares at an average price per share of $33.72. As of December 31, 2013, we have no 
remaining shares authorized for repurchase. 

In February 2014, our Board of Directors renewed our share repurchase program authorizing the purchase of $100 

million in common stock through 2017. The timing of repurchases and the number of shares of common stock to be 
repurchased will be determined by management based upon market conditions and other factors. The program is intended, in 
part, to offset shares issued in conjunction with our stock incentive plan and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist the reader 

in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the results of operations of the Company 
together with its subsidiaries. The discussion and analysis presented below refers to, and should be read in conjunction with, the 
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Overview

Owens & Minor, Inc., along with its subsidiaries, (we, us, or our) is a leading national distributor of name-brand 

medical and surgical supplies and a healthcare logistics company. We report our business under two segments: Domestic and 
International. The Domestic segment includes all services in the United States relating to our role as a medical supply logistics 
company serving healthcare providers and manufacturers. The International segment, which is comprised of the Movianto 
Group (Movianto) acquired on August 31, 2012, provides third-party logistics for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and 
medical device industries in the European market. Segment financial information is provided in Note 20 of Notes to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Our management’s discussion and analysis contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. 
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In general, the measures exclude items and charges that 
(i) management does not believe reflect our core business and relate more to strategic, multi-year corporate activities; or 
(ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. 
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate our performance, evaluate the balance 
sheet, engage in financial and operational planning and determine incentive compensation.

Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in 
assessing the effects of items and events on our financial and operating results and in comparing our performance to that 
of our competitors. However, the non-GAAP financial measures used by us may be calculated differently from, and 
therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. 

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by us should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial 
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Acquisition-related charges, pre-tax, of $3.5 million and $10.5 million in 2013 and 2012 are associated with 

Movianto and $0.5 million in 2011 is related to the establishment of our joint venture in China.  Acquisition-related charges in 
2013 primarily  consist of costs to transition Movianto's information technology and other operations and administrative 
functions from the former owner.  Charges in 2012 are primarily transaction costs incurred to perform due diligence and to 
analyze, negotiate and consummate the acquisition and costs to perform post-closing activities to establish a tax-efficient 
organizational structure.  Exit and realignment charges (income), pre-tax, of $8.9 million, $(0.4) million and $12.7 million in 
2013, 2012 and 2011 are associated with optimizing our operations and include the consolidation of distribution and logistics 
centers and closure of offsite warehouses in the United States and Europe.  Net of tax charges have been tax effected in the 
preceding table using a blended income tax rate depending on the amount of charges incurred in different tax jurisdictions.  
Unless otherwise stated, our analysis hereinafter excludes acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges. More 
information about these charges is provided in Notes 3 and 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this 
annual report.

Adjusted EPS increased to $1.90 in 2013 from $1.85 in 2012 primarily due to an increase in Adjusted Operating 

Earnings of $3.6 million. Domestic segment operating earnings were $211.9 million for 2013, a decrease of $0.4 million when 
compared to the prior year.  International segment operating losses improved over the prior year by $4.0 million to $1.4 million 
for 2013.  The Domestic segment operating earnings were affected by higher gross margin, which was fully offset by higher 
selling, general and administrative expenses.  The International segment operating loss includes a full year of activity which 
showed improving results in the second half of 2013.

Net revenue for the current year increased due to a full year of activity in our International segment compared to 

four months in the prior year.  Domestic segment revenue continued to be impacted by ongoing market trends including lower 
rates of healthcare utilization.  In addition, our continued rationalization of smaller, less profitable healthcare provider 
customers and suppliers and reduced government purchases were not fully offset by growth in existing customers, fee-for-
service and new business.  Fee-for-service business represents approximately two-thirds of net revenue in the International 
segment.

Gross margin increased primarily due to a full year of Movianto activity in the current year which contributed 

$177.4 million to the year over year change.  The Domestic segment gross margin benefitted from strategic initiatives including 
growth in fee-for-service business during the year and supplier price changes in the first and second quarters of 2013 at a higher 
level than in 2012.

We value Domestic segment inventory under the LIFO method.  Had inventory been valued under the first-in, first-

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses include labor, warehousing, handling and delivery costs 

associated with our distribution and logistics services, as well as labor costs for our supply-chain consulting services and all 
costs associated with our fee-for-service business. The costs to convert new customers to our information systems are generally 
incurred prior to the recognition of revenues from new customers. The International segment also includes costs for information 
technology and other transition services provided by the former owners of Movianto which were substantially completed in 
2013.  

SG&A expense increased by $165.4 million in the current year due to a full year of activity in Movianto.  Domestic 

SG&A expense also increased over the prior year due to greater fee-for-service sales activity, increased costs to support 
strategic initiatives and higher costs associated with workers' compensation, litigation and healthcare.  During the second 
quarter of 2013, we reached a settlement in the administrative proceedings before the California Board of Equalization related 
to certain municipal sales tax incentives.  As a result, SG&A expenses were reduced in 2013 by a net amount of $4.3 million, 
which was fully offset by the increased costs noted above.  In the future, the company expects to receive an ongoing tax 
incentive that will vary with eligible revenues generated by sales to California-based customers.  More information about this 
incentive is provided in Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report.  

Depreciation and amortization expense increase in the current year was primarily related to warehouse equipment 

and information technology hardware and software acquired with Movianto. In addition, depreciation and amortization 
increased $0.8 million in the Domestic segment due to software enhancements for operational efficiency improvements.  

Other operating income includes finance charge income of $6.0 million and $4.9 million in 2013 and 2012.  The 
increase over the prior year was due to $1.6 million increase in income associated with product financing arrangements with 
customers in Europe, $0.8 million in foreign exchange gains and a net $0.9 million in Domestic charges incurred in 2012 
associated with specific litigation matters and loss contingency expenses which did not recur in the current year.

The provision for income taxes, including income taxes on acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges, 
decreased from the prior year due to the impact of non-deductible acquisition-related costs in 2012 incurred as a result of the 
Movianto acquisition as well as results of benefits recognized in the current year upon the conclusion of examinations of our 
2009 and 2010 Federal and certain state income tax returns. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of foreign taxes.

Domestic segment revenue increased as a result of growth from existing customers.  Factors affecting the Domestic 
segment growth rate included lower comparative utilization of healthcare services, reduced product price inflation and a lower 
level of government purchasing, as well as ongoing rationalization of certain of the company’s suppliers.  The International 
segment revenue for 2012 includes activity since our acquisition on August 31, 2012.

The increases in gross margin dollars and gross margin percentage are primarily due to contributions by Movianto 
for the four months since acquisition.   These gains were partially offset by declines in the Domestic segment due to customer 
mix, including lower margin on new contracts with large integrated health networks and competitive pressures.  

We value Domestic segment inventory under the LIFO method.  Had inventory been valued under the first-in, first-
out (FIFO) method, gross margin as a percentage of net revenue would have been higher by 5 basis points in 2012 and 16 basis 
points in 2011.

SG&A expenses include labor, warehousing, handling and delivery costs associated with our distribution and third-
party logistics services, as well as labor costs for our supply-chain consulting services.  The costs to convert new customers to 
our information systems are generally incurred prior to the recognition of revenues. 

SG&A expenses increased as a result of the acquisition of Movianto.  The increase was partially offset by decreases 
in the Domestic segment primarily due to lower expenses in our fee-for-service operations, including lower costs for our third-
party logistics business that converted a large new customer during 2011.  International segment SG&A expenses include costs 
for information technology and other transition services provided by the former owners of Movianto, as well as information 
technology outsourcing and consulting for support and maintenance of its information systems. 

Depreciation and amortization, primarily related to warehouse equipment and information technology hardware and 

software, increased in 2012 as a result of the acquisition of Movianto.  Domestic segment depreciation and amortization 
increased $2.4 million for operational software improvements and for warehouse equipment and leasehold improvements 
related to warehouse automation and the relocation of a distribution center.  This increase was partially offset by lower 
amortization resulting from the expiration of noncompete agreements.

Other operating income, net included finance charge income of $4.9 million and $2.9 million for 2012 and 2011.

income, net, in 2012 includes legal expenses and loss contingencies expense of approximately $2.0 million associated with 
California-specific litigation and compensation and benefits requirements, partially offset by income of $1.1 million from the 
settlement of a class action litigation. Other operating income for 2011 benefitted from $2.2 million received from settlement of 
an anti-trust class action lawsuit. In addition, other operating income in 2011 included expenses of $1.7 million primarily for 
the development of a model for partnering with customers.

Resources in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition for a description of the new revolving credit 
facility).  The decrease in commitment fees was partially offset by a decline in interest income from interest rate swaps, which 
were terminated in 2011.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial condition. We monitor operating working capital through days sales outstanding (DSO) and merchandise 
inventory turnover.  We estimate a hypothetical increase (decrease) in DSO of one day would result in a decrease (increase) in 
our cash balances, an increase (decrease) in borrowings against our revolving credit facility, or a combination thereof of 
approximately $25 million. 

The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are held in cash depository accounts with major banks in the United 

States and Europe or invested in high-quality, short-term liquid investments. Changes in our working capital can vary in the 
normal course of business based upon the timing of inventory purchases, collection of accounts receivable, and payment to 
suppliers.

Cash provided by operating activities was $140.6 million in 2013, compared to $218.5 million in 2012 and $68.4 

million in 2011.  Cash from operating activities for 2013 decreased compared to 2012 due to changes in working capital, 
including increases in accounts and notes receivable which experienced an increase in DSO of 1.3 days (unfavorable impact on 
cash of $33.3 million). Cash from operating activities for 2012 increased over 2011 due to the reduction of Domestic segment 
inventories and benefitted from a decrease in Domestic segment DSO of 1.6 days in 2012 (favorable impact of approximately 
$38.3 million). Cash from operating activities in 2011 was a result of operating earnings and an increase in accounts payable, 
due to increased inventory purchases, offset by a build-up of inventory of approximately $100 million for new business, an 
increase in DSO of 1.1 days (unfavorable impact on cash of $26.3 million), and an increase in other current assets related to our 
growth in revenues.  

Cash used for investing activities was $57.1 million for 2013, compared to $190.8 million for 2012 and $33.9 

million for 2011.  Capital expenditures in 2013 were $60.1 million primarily related to information technology initiatives and 
distribution center and  logistics facility moves and modifications.  In 2012, we acquired Movianto in exchange for 
approximately $155.2 million of cash plus assumed third-party debt (primarily capitalized leases) of $2.1 million. Domestic 
segment capital expenditures were $34.5 million in 2012, primarily related to our strategic and operational efficiency initiatives, 
particularly initiatives relating to information technology enhancements. Capital expenditures in 2011 primarily included 
leasehold improvements and warehouse equipment for our distribution centers and logistics facilities, as well as investments in 
operational software improvements and certain customer-facing technologies. 

Net cash used in financing activities was $82.0 million in 2013, 68.4 million in 2012, and $57.5 million in 2011.  We 

paid dividends of $60.7 million, $55.7 million and $50.9 million and repurchased common stock under a share repurchase 
program for $18.9 million, $15.0 million and $16.1 million in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.  In addition, 
in 2011 we received proceeds of $4.0 million as a result of the termination of interest rate swaps. 

Cash used by operating activities of discontinued operations was $0.3 million for 2011, associated with 

administrative costs.

Capital resources. Our sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents and a revolving credit facility.  On 

June 5, 2012, we entered into a five-year $350 million Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, 
N.A. and a syndicate of financial institutions (the Credit Agreement).  This agreement replaced an existing $350 million credit 
agreement set to expire on June 7, 2013.  Under the Credit Agreement, we have the ability to request two one-year extensions 
and to request an increase in aggregate commitments by up to $150 million. The interest rate, which is subject to adjustment 
quarterly, is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, plus an 
adjustment based on the better of our debt ratings or leverage ratio (Credit Spread) as defined by the Credit Agreement. We are 
charged a commitment fee of between 17.5 and 42.5 basis points on the unused portion of the facility. The terms of the Credit 
Agreement limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and require us to maintain ratios for leverage and interest 
coverage, including on a pro forma basis in the event of an acquisition. At December 31, 2013, we had no borrowings and 
letters of credit of $5.0 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility, leaving $345.0 million available for borrowing.

We may utilize the revolving credit facility for long-term strategic growth, capital expenditures, working capital and 

general corporate purposes.  If we were unable to access the revolving credit facility, it could impact our ability to fund these 
needs. During 2013, we had no borrowings or repayments under the credit facilities.  Based on our leverage ratio at 
December 31, 2013, the interest rate under the new credit facility was LIBOR plus 1.375%.  We have $200 million of senior 
notes outstanding, which mature in 2016 and bear interest at 6.35%, payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15. The 
revolving credit facility and senior notes contain cross-default provisions which could result in the acceleration of payments due 
in the event of default of either agreement. We believe we were in compliance with the debt covenants at December 31, 2013.

20

We earn a portion of our operating earnings in foreign jurisdictions outside the U.S., which we consider to be 

indefinitely reinvested.  Accordingly, no U.S. federal and state income taxes and withholding taxes have been provided on these 
earnings. Our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and marketable securities held by our foreign subsidiaries totaled 
$22.2 million and $24.9 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.  We do not intend, nor do we foresee a need, to repatriate 
these funds or other assets held outside the U.S.  In the future, should we require more capital to fund discretionary activities in 
the U.S. than is generated by our domestic operations and is available through our borrowings, we could elect to repatriate cash 
or other assets from foreign jurisdictions that have previously been considered to be indefinitely reinvested.  Upon distribution 
of these assets, we could be subject to additional U.S. federal and state income taxes and withholding taxes payable to foreign 
jurisdictions, where applicable.

The IRS on January 10, 2014 released final regulations relating to the adjustment of inventory costs for certain sales-

based vendor charge-backs and the allowable treatment of these charge-backs in tax LIFO calculations.  The Company is 
currently analyzing the impact of this regulatory change on our tax LIFO position, which could cause our related deferred tax 
liability to become due and payable, impacting future cash flow.  

We paid quarterly cash dividends on our outstanding common stock at the rate of $0.24 per share during 2013, $0.22 

per share during 2012, and $0.20 per share during 2011. Our annual dividend payout ratio for the three years ended 
December 31, 2013, based on Adjusted EPS, was in the range of 41.2% to 50.5%.  In February 2014, the Board of Directors 
approved a 4.2% increase in the amount of our quarterly dividend to $0.25 per common share. We anticipate continuing to pay 
quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment of future dividends remains within the discretion of the Board of 
Directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

In February 2011, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $50 million of our 

outstanding common stock to be executed at the discretion of management over a three-year period, expiring in February 2014. 
The program is intended to offset shares issued in conjunction with our stock incentive plan and may be suspended or 
discontinued at any time.  During 2013, we repurchased approximately 560 thousand shares at $18.9 million under this 
program. At December 31, 2013, we had purchased all shares authorized under this program. 

In February 2014, our Board of Directors renewed our share repurchase program authorizing the purchase of $100 

million in common stock through 2017. The timing of repurchases and the number of shares of common stock to be 
repurchased will be determined by management based upon market conditions and other factors. The program is intended to 
offset shares issued in conjunction with our stock incentive plan and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

We believe available financing sources, including cash generated by operating activities and borrowings under the 

Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, long-term strategic growth, 
payments under long-term debt and lease arrangements, payments of quarterly cash dividends, share repurchases and other cash 
requirements. While we believe that we will have the ability to meet our financing needs in the foreseeable future, changes in 
economic conditions may impact (i) the ability of financial institutions to meet their contractual commitments to us, (ii) the 
ability of our customers and suppliers to meet their obligations to us or (iii) our cost of borrowing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have guarantees or other off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, 

which we believe could have a material impact on financial condition or liquidity.

See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Debt is assumed to be held to maturity with interest 
paid at the stated rate in effect at December 31, 2013.

See Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

We cannot reasonably estimate the timing of cash settlement for the liability associated with unrecognized tax 
benefits.

Other long-term liabilities include estimated minimum required payments for our unfunded retirement plan for 
certain officers. See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain long-term liabilities, 
including deferred tax liabilities and post-retirement benefit obligations, are excluded as we cannot reasonably 
estimate the timing of payments for these items.

Excludes certain contingent contractual obligations that are required to be paid in the event that performance 
targets specified by customer contracts are not achieved. See Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. 
generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and 
estimates used to prepare the financial statements.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those policies that relate to estimates that require us to make assumptions 

about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and could have a material impact on our results due to 
changes in the estimate or the use of different assumptions that could reasonably have been used. Our estimates are generally 
based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are judged to be reasonable in light of the relevant facts and 
circumstances. Because of the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ. We believe our critical 
accounting policies and estimates include allowances for losses on accounts and notes receivable, inventory valuation, 
accounting for goodwill and long-lived assets, self-insurance liabilities, supplier incentives, and business combinations.

Allowances for losses on accounts and notes receivable. We maintain valuation allowances based upon the 

expected collectability of accounts and notes receivable. The allowances include specific amounts for accounts that are likely to 
be uncollectible, such as customer bankruptcies and disputed amounts, and general allowances for accounts that may become 
uncollectible. These allowances are estimated based on a number of factors, including industry trends, current economic 
conditions, creditworthiness of customers, age of the receivables, changes in customer payment patterns, and historical 
experience. At December 31, 2013, accounts and notes receivable were $573 million, net of allowances of $15.0 million. An 
unexpected bankruptcy or other adverse change in the financial condition of a customer could result in increases in these 
allowances, which could have a material effect on the results of operations.

Inventory valuation. Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using 
the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for Domestic segment inventories and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for International 
segment inventories. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made only at the end of the year based on the 
inventory levels and costs at that time. LIFO calculations are required for interim reporting purposes and are based on estimates 
of the expected mix of products in year-end inventory. In addition, inventory valuation includes estimates of allowances for 
obsolescence and variances between actual inventory on-hand and perpetual inventory records that can arise throughout the 
year. These estimates are based on factors such as the age of inventory and historical trends. At December 31, 2013, the 
carrying value of inventory was $772 million, which is $109 million lower than the value of inventory had it all been accounted 
for on a FIFO basis.

Goodwill and long-lived assets. Goodwill represents the excess of consideration paid over the fair value of 

identifiable net assets acquired. Long-lived assets, which are a component of identifiable net assets, include intangible assets 
with finite useful lives, property and equipment, and computer software costs. Intangible assets with finite useful lives consist 
primarily of customer relationships and non-compete agreements acquired through business combinations. Certain assumptions 
and estimates are employed in determining the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired.

22

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events occur or changes in circumstance indicate that 

the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. In performing the impairment test, we perform qualitative assessments 
based on macroeconomic conditions, structural changes in the industry, estimated financial performance, and other relevant 
information.   If necessary, we perform a quantitative analysis to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using valuation 
techniques, including comparable multiples of the reporting unit's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization 
(EBITDA) and discounted cash flows.  The EBITDA multiples are based on an analysis of current enterprise valuations and 
recent acquisition prices of similar companies, if available.  Goodwill totaled $275 million at December 31, 2013.

Long-lived assets, which exclude goodwill, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in 

circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. We assess long-lived assets for 
potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of an asset, or group of related assets, to its estimated undiscounted 
future cash flows. At December 31, 2013, long-lived assets included property and equipment of $192 million, net of 
accumulated depreciation; intangible assets of $40.4 million, net of accumulated amortization; and computer software costs of 
$74.4 million, net of accumulated amortization.

We did not record any material impairment losses related to goodwill or long-lived assets in 2013. However, the 

impairment review of goodwill and long-lived assets requires the extensive use of accounting judgment, estimates and 
assumptions. The application of alternative assumptions could produce materially different results.

Self-insurance liabilities. We are self-insured for most employee healthcare, workers’ compensation and automobile 

liability costs; however, we maintain insurance for individual losses exceeding certain limits. Liabilities are estimated for 
healthcare costs using current and historical claims data. Liabilities for workers’ compensation and automobile liability claims 
are estimated using historical claims data and loss development factors. If the underlying facts and circumstances of existing 
claims change or historical trends are not indicative of future trends, then we may be required to record additional expense that 
could have a material effect on the results of operations. Self-insurance liabilities recorded in our consolidated balance sheet for 
employee healthcare, workers’ compensation and automobile liability costs totaled $13.9 million at December 31, 2013.

Supplier incentives. We have contractual arrangements with certain suppliers that provide incentives, including 

operational efficiency and performance-based incentives, on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. These incentives are 
recognized as a reduction in cost of goods sold as targets become probable of achievement. Supplier incentives receivable are 
recorded for interim and annual reporting purposes and are based on our estimate of the amounts which are expected to be 
realized. If we do not achieve required targets under certain programs as estimated, it could have a material adverse effect on 
our results of operations.

Business Combinations. We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, 

liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase 
consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair 
values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with 
respect to intangible assets.

Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include but are not limited to future expected cash flows from 

customer relationships and discount rates. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but 
which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates related to our revolving credit facility. We had no 

outstanding borrowings and $5.0 million in letters of credit under the facility at December 31, 2013. A hypothetical increase in 
interest rates of 100 basis points would result in a potential reduction in future pre-tax earnings of approximately $0.1 million 
per year for every $10 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. 

23

Due to the nature and pricing of our Domestic segment distribution services, we are exposed to potential volatility in 

fuel prices. Our strategies for helping to mitigate our exposure to changing domestic fuel prices has included entering into 
leases for trucks with improved fuel efficiency and entering into fixed–price agreements for diesel fuel. We benchmark our 
domestic diesel fuel purchase prices against the U.S. Weekly Retail On-Highway Diesel Prices (benchmark) as quoted by the 
U.S. Energy Information Administration. The benchmark averaged $3.92 per gallon in 2013, decreased 1% from $3.97 per 
gallon in 2012. Based on our fuel consumption in 2013, we estimate that every 10 cents per gallon increase in the benchmark 
would reduce our Domestic segment operating earnings by approximately $0.4 million. In January 2013, we entered into a 
fixed-price purchase agreement with one of our diesel fuel suppliers for approximately one-third of our anticipated Domestic 
segment fuel usage for 2013 at an equivalent benchmark price of $3.91 per gallon. We have not entered into a similar 
agreement for 2014.

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to foreign currency translation and transaction risks. Our business 

transactions outside of the United States are primarily denominated in the Euro and British Pound. We may use foreign 
currency forwards, swaps and options, where possible, to manage our risk related to certain foreign currency fluctuations. 
However, we believe that our foreign currency transaction risks are low since our revenues and expenses are typically 
denominated in the same currency.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

See Item 15. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and 

principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, 
the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were 
effective as of December 31, 2013.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter (our fourth 

quarter in the case of an annual report) ended December 31, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to 
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as 

such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f), for Owens & Minor, Inc. (the company). Under the supervision and with 
the participation of management, including the company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we

Treadway Commission (COSO).

Based on our evaluation under the COSO framework, management concluded that the company’s internal control 

over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Owens & Minor, Inc.:

We have audited Owens & Minor, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria 
established  in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework  (1992)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the 
Treadway Commission (COSO). Owens & Minor, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over 
financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control 
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control 
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating 
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we 
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability 
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain 
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets 
of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial 
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are 
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that 
could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because 
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Owens & Minor, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of 
December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 
the consolidated balance sheets of Owens & Minor, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related 
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the 
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013 and our report dated February 24, 2014, expressed an unqualified 
opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

OWENS & MINOR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, unless otherwise indicated)

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Owens & Minor, Inc. and subsidiaries (we, us or our), a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. 

We are a leading healthcare services company that connects the world of medical products to the point of care by providing 
vital supply chain assistance to the providers of healthcare services and the manufacturers of healthcare products, supplies, and 
devices in the United States and Europe.  We serve our customers with a service portfolio that covers procurement, inventory 
management, delivery and sourcing for the healthcare market. With fully developed networks in the United States and Europe, 
we are equipped to serve a customer base ranging from hospitals, integrated healthcare systems, group purchasing 
organizations, and the U.S. federal government, to manufacturers of life-science and medical devices and supplies, including 
pharmaceuticals in Europe.

Our Domestic segment includes all functions in the United States relating to our role as a healthcare services 

company providing distribution and logistics services to healthcare providers and manufacturers. The International segment 
consists of Movianto, our European third-party logistics service. 

Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Owens & Minor, Inc. and the 

subsidiaries it controls, in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For the consolidated 
subsidiary in which our ownership is less than 100%, the outside stockholder’s interest is presented as a noncontrolling interest. 
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications and Correction. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year 

presentation. In addition, after completing a review of customer contracts in the International segment, we have determined a 
net presentation of revenues for certain contracts is more representative of the customer arrangement.  Certain 2012 amounts 
have been revised to reflect this net presentation of revenues.  Net revenue and cost of goods sold each decreased by $39.8 
million, accounts and notes receivable, net decreased by $16.2 million and other current assets increased by $16.2 million.  The 
change did not affect cash flows, gross margin, operating earnings or net income in 2012.  

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to 
make assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Estimates are used for, but are not limited 
to, the allowances for losses on accounts and notes receivable, inventory valuation allowances, supplier incentives, depreciation 
and amortization, goodwill valuation, valuation of intangible assets and other long-lived assets, valuation of property held for 
sale, self-insurance liabilities, tax liabilities, defined benefit obligations, share-based compensation and other contingencies. 
Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and marketable securities with an original 

maturity or maturity at acquisition of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost. Nearly all of our cash 
and cash equivalents are held in cash depository accounts in major banks in the United States and Europe.

Book overdrafts represent the amount of outstanding checks issued in excess of related bank balances and are 

included in accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheets, as they are similar to trade payables and are not subject to 
finance charges or interest. Changes in book overdrafts are classified as operating activities in our consolidated statements of 
cash flows.

Accounts and Notes Receivable, Net. Accounts receivable from customers are recorded at the invoiced amount. We 

assess finance charges on overdue accounts receivable that are recognized as other operating income based on their estimated 
ultimate collectability. We have arrangements with certain customers under which they make deposits on account. Customer 
deposits in excess of outstanding receivable balances are classified as other current liabilities.

We maintain valuation allowances based upon the expected collectability of accounts and notes receivable. Our 

allowances include specific amounts for accounts that are likely to be uncollectible, such as customer bankruptcies and 
disputed amounts and general allowances for accounts that may become uncollectible. Allowances are estimated based on a 
number of factors, including industry trends, current economic conditions, creditworthiness of customers, age of the 
receivables, changes in customer payment patterns, and historical experience. Account balances are charged off against the 
allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

34

Financing Receivables and Payables. We have an order-to-cash program in our International segment under which 

we invoice manufacturers’ customers and remit collected amounts to the manufacturers. We retain credit risk for uncollected 
receivables under this program. We continually monitor the expected collectability in this program and maintain valuation 
allowances when it is likely that an amount may be or may become uncollectible.  Allowances are estimated based on a number 
of factors including creditworthiness of customers, age of the receivables and historical experience. We write off uncollected 
receivables under this program when collection is no longer being pursued.  At December 31, 2013 the allowance for 
uncollectible accounts as part of this program was $0.1 million and there was no allowance for uncollectible accounts as part of 
this program in 2012. Fees charged for this program are included in net revenue. Product pricing and related product risks are 
retained by the manufacturer. Balances receivable and related amounts payable under this program are classified in other 
current assets and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Merchandise Inventories. Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined 

by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for Domestic segment inventories. Cost of International segment inventories is 
determined using the first-in, first out (FIFO) method.

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or, if acquired 
under capital leases, at the lower of the present value of minimum lease payments or fair market value at the inception of the 
lease less accumulated amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for financial reporting purposes is computed on a 
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or, for capital leases and leasehold improvements, over the 
term of the lease, if shorter. In general, the estimated useful lives for computing depreciation and amortization are four to 15 
years for warehouse equipment, five to 40 years for buildings and building improvements, and three to eight years for 
computers, furniture and fixtures, and office and other equipment. Straight-line and accelerated methods of depreciation are 
used for income tax purposes. Normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, and renovations and betterments are 
capitalized.

Leases. We have entered into non-cancelable agreements to lease most of our office and warehouse facilities with 

remaining terms generally ranging from one to ten years. We also lease most of our transportation and material handling 
equipment for terms generally ranging from three to ten years. Certain information technology assets embedded in an 
outsourcing agreement are accounted for as capital leases. Leases are classified as operating leases or capital leases at their 
inception. Rent expense for leases with rent holidays or pre-determined rent increases are recognized on a straight-line basis 
over the lease term. Incentives and allowances for leasehold improvements are deferred and recognized as a reduction of rent 
expense over the lease term.

Goodwill. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually, as of April 30, and whenever events occur or changes in 
circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. We review goodwill first by performing a 
qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. 
If not, we then perform a quantitative assessment by first comparing the carrying amount to the fair value of the reporting unit. 
If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be less than its carrying value, a second step is performed to measure the 
goodwill impairment loss as the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the estimated fair value of its 
goodwill. We estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using valuation techniques which can include comparable multiples of 
the unit’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and present value of expected cash flows. 
The EBITDA multiples are based on an analysis of current enterprise values and recent acquisition prices of similar companies, 
if available.

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets acquired through purchases or business combinations are stated at fair value at 

the acquisition date and net of accumulated amortization in the consolidated balance sheets. Intangible assets, consisting 
primarily of customer relationships, customer contracts, non-competition agreements, trademarks, and tradenames are 
amortized over their estimated useful lives. In determining the useful life of an intangible asset, we consider our historical 
experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements. Customer relationships are generally amortized over 10 to 15 years 
and other intangible assets are amortized generally for periods between one and 15 years, based on their pattern of economic 
benefit or on a straight-line basis.

Computer Software. We develop and purchase software for internal use. Software development costs incurred 

during the application development stage are capitalized. Once the software has been installed and tested, and is ready for use, 
additional costs incurred in connection with the software are expensed as incurred. Capitalized computer software costs are 
amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, usually between three and ten years. Computer software costs are 
included in other assets, net, in the consolidated balance sheets. Unamortized software at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 
$74.4 million and $59.7 million. Depreciation and amortization expense includes $14.2 million, $11.0 million and $9.9 million 
of software amortization for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

35

Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets, and 

unamortized software costs, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. We assess long-lived assets for potential impairment by 
comparing the carrying value of an asset, or group of related assets, to their estimated undiscounted future cash flows.

Self-Insurance Liabilities. We are self-insured for most employee healthcare, workers’ compensation and 

automobile liability costs; however, we maintain insurance for individual losses exceeding certain limits. Liabilities are 
estimated for healthcare costs using current and historical claims data. Liabilities for workers’ compensation and automobile 
liability claims are estimated using historical claims data and loss development factors. If the underlying facts and 
circumstances of existing claims change or historical trends are not indicative of future trends, then we may be required to 
record additional expense or reductions to expense. Self-insurance liabilities are included in other accrued liabilities on the 
consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has 
occurred or services have been rendered, the price or fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Under most of our distribution contracts, title passes to the customer when the product is received by the customer. 
We record product revenue at the time that shipment is completed. Distribution fee revenue, when calculated as a mark-up of 
the product cost, is also recognized at the time that shipment is completed.

Revenue for activity-based fees and other services is recognized as work is performed and as amounts are earned. 
Depending on the specific contractual provisions and nature of the deliverable, revenue from services may be recognized on a 
straight-line basis over the term of the service, on a proportional performance model, based on level of effort, or when final 
deliverables have been provided. Additionally, we generate fees from arrangements that include performance targets related to 
cost-saving initiatives for customers that result from our supply-chain management services. Achievement against performance 
targets, measured in accordance with contractual terms, may result in additional fees paid to us or, if performance targets are 
not achieved, we may be obligated to refund or reduce a portion of our fees to provide credits toward future purchases by the 
customer. For these arrangements, all contingent revenue is deferred and recognized as the performance target is achieved and 
the applicable contingency is released. When we determine that a loss is probable under a contract, the estimated loss is 
accrued.

We allocate revenue for arrangements with multiple deliverables meeting the criteria for a separate unit of 

accounting using the relative selling price method and recognize revenue for each deliverable in accordance with applicable 
revenue recognition criteria.

In most cases, we record revenue gross, as we are the primary obligor in our sales arrangements, bear the risk of 

general and physical inventory loss and carry all credit risk associated with sales. When we act as an agent in a sales 
arrangement and do not bear a significant portion of these risks, primarily for our third-party logistics business, we record 
revenue net of product cost. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from 
revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses. SG&A expenses include labor and warehousing costs 

associated with our distribution and third-party logistics services, as well as labor costs for our supply-chain consulting 
services. Shipping and handling costs are included in SG&A expenses on the consolidated statements of income and include 
costs to store, move and prepare products for shipment, as well as costs to deliver products to customers. Shipping and handling 
costs billed to customers are included in net revenues. Freight costs incurred for shipments of products from manufacturers to 
our distribution centers are included in cost of goods sold.

Supplier Incentives. We have contractual arrangements with certain suppliers that provide incentives, including 

cash discounts for prompt payment, operational efficiency and performance-based incentives. These incentives are recognized 
as a reduction in cost of goods sold as targets become probable of achievement.

Share-Based Compensation. We account for share-based payments to employees at fair value and recognize the 

related expense in selling, general and administrative expenses over the service period for awards expected to vest.

36

Derivative Financial Instruments. We periodically enter into interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk 
management strategy. The purpose of these swaps is to maintain a mix of fixed to floating rate financing in order to manage 
interest rate risk. Generally, the interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges of specified portions of long-term debt 
using the shortcut method, when both the swaps and the long-term debt meet all of the conditions for the use of this method. 
Accordingly, no net gains or losses are typically recorded in the consolidated statements of income related to changes in the fair 
value of the underlying debt and interest rate swaps. These swaps are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value, which 
is determined by using observable market inputs (Level 2).  There were no outstanding derivative instruments at December 31, 
2013 or 2012. 

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities 
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of 
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets 
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary 
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is 
recognized in income from continuing operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are 
provided if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. When we have claimed tax benefits that may 
be challenged by a tax authority, an estimate of the effect of these uncertain tax positions is recorded. It is our policy to provide 
for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon an assessment of whether a tax benefit is more 
likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. To the extent that the tax outcome of these uncertain tax 
positions changes, based on our assessment, such changes in estimate may impact the income tax provision in the period in 
which such determination is made.

We earn a portion of our operating earnings in foreign jurisdictions outside the United States, which we consider to 

be indefinitely reinvested. Accordingly, no United States federal and state income taxes and withholding taxes have been 
provided on these earnings. Our cash, cash-equivalents, short-term investments, and marketable securities held by our foreign 
subsidiaries totaled $22.2 million and $24.9 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. We do not intend, nor do we foresee a 
need, to repatriate these funds or other assets held outside the U.S. In the future, should we require more capital to fund 
discretionary activities in the U.S. than is generated by our domestic operations and is available through our borrowings, we 
could elect to repatriate cash or other assets from foreign jurisdictions that have previously been considered to be indefinitely 
reinvested. Upon distribution of these assets, we could be subject to additional U.S. federal and state income taxes and 
withholding taxes payable to foreign jurisdictions, where applicable.

Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is determined based on assumptions that a market participant would use in 

pricing an asset or liability. The assumptions used are in accordance with a three-tier hierarchy, defined by GAAP, that draws a 
distinction between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets 
(Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and 
(iii) unobservable inputs that require the use of present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value 
(Level 3).

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable reported in the 

consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Property held for sale is 
reported at estimated fair value less selling costs with fair value determined based on recent sales prices for comparable 
properties in similar locations (Level 2). The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices or dealer 
quotes for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market (Level 1) or, if quoted market prices or dealer 
quotes are not available, on the borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms, credit ratings, and average 
remaining maturities (Level 2). See Notes 7, 10 and 11 for the fair value of property held for sale, debt instruments and interest 
rate swaps.

Acquisition-Related and Exit and Realignment Costs. We present costs incurred in connection with acquisitions in 

acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges in our consolidated statements of income. Acquisition-related charges 
consist primarily of transaction costs incurred to perform due diligence and to analyze, negotiate and consummate an 
acquisition, costs to perform post-closing activities to establish a tax-efficient organizational structure, and costs to transition 
the acquired company’s information technology and other operations and administrative functions from the former owner.

Costs associated with exit and realignment activities are recorded at their fair value when incurred. Liabilities are 

established at the cease-use date for remaining operating lease and other contractual obligations, net of estimated sub-lease 
income. The net lease termination cost is discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest. We evaluate these 
assumptions quarterly and adjust the liability accordingly. The current portion of accrued lease and other contractual 
termination costs is included in other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, and the non-current portion is 
included in other liabilities. Severance benefits are recorded when payment is considered probable and reasonably estimable.

37

Income Per Share. Basic and diluted income per share are calculated pursuant to the two-class method, under 

which unvested share-based payment awards containing nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities.

Foreign Currency Translation. Our foreign subsidiaries generally consider their local currency to be their 

functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange 
rates and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Cumulative currency translation 
adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses on 
intercompany foreign currency transactions that are long-term in nature and which we do not intend to settle in the foreseeable 
future are also recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses from foreign 
currency transactions are recorded in other operating income, net in the consolidated statements of income and were not 
material to our consolidated results of operations in 2013, 2012, and 2011.

Business Combinations. We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which 

requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Any 
excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. During 2013, we adopted Accounting Standard Updates (ASU’s) issued by 

the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). 

We adopted an ASU issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for clarifying disclosures of 

offsetting assets and liabilities. This clarifies the scope and treatment of derivatives that are offset or subject to an enforceable 
master netting arrangement. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our financial position or results of 
operations.

We adopted an ASU for reporting amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This 

update requires entities to disclose the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. 
The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

We have adopted an ASU for reporting cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of foreign 

subsidiaries, assets or investments. This update requires the release of related cumulative translation adjustment when the 
parent ceases to have a controlling financial interest. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our financial 
position or results of operations.

Note 2—Significant Risks and Uncertainties

Many of our hospital customers in the U.S. are represented by group purchasing organizations (GPOs) that contract 
with us for services on behalf of the GPO members. GPOs representing a significant portion of our business are Novation, LLC 
(Novation), MedAssets Inc. (MedAssets) and Premier, Inc. (Premier). Members of these GPOs have incentives to purchase 
from their primary selected distributor; however, they operate independently and are free to negotiate directly with distributors 
and manufacturers. For 2013, 2012 and 2011, net revenue from hospitals under contract with these GPOs represented the 
following percentages of our net revenue annually: Novation—32% to 35%; MedAssets (including Broadlane in 2012 and 
2011)—24%; and Premier—20% to 22%.

Net revenue from sales of product supplied by subsidiaries of Covidien Ltd. and Johnson & Johnson Healthcare 

Systems, Inc. represented approximately 13% and 10% of our net revenue annually for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Note 3—Acquisition

On August 31, 2012, we acquired from Celesio AG (Celesio) all of the voting interests of certain subsidiaries 

comprising the majority of Celesio’s healthcare third-party logistics business known as the Movianto Group (the acquired 
portion is referred to herein as Movianto) for consideration of approximately $157.3 million (€125 million ), net of cash 
acquired and including debt assumed of $2.1 million (primarily capitalized lease obligations). As a result of the acquisition of 
Movianto, we have entered into third-party logistics for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries in the European 
market with an existing platform that also expands our ability to serve our U.S.-based manufacturer customers globally.

The purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon our estimate 
of their fair values at the date of acquisition, with certain exceptions permitted under GAAP. The purchase price exceeded the 
estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets by $25.4 million, which was allocated to goodwill. The 
following table presents the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized as of the acquisition 
date.

(1)  As previously reported in our 2012 Form 10-K.

We are amortizing the fair value of acquired intangible assets, primarily customer relationships, over their remaining 

weighted average useful lives of 9 years.

Goodwill of $25.4 million consists largely of expected opportunities to provide additional services to existing 
manufacturer customers and to expand our third-party logistics services globally. All of the goodwill was assigned to our 
International segment. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities acquired included financing receivables with a fair value of 

$106.8 million and financing payables with a fair value of $130.4 million.

Acquisition-related costs consist primarily of transaction costs incurred to perform due diligence and to analyze, 
negotiate and consummate the acquisition, costs to perform post-closing activities to establish a tax-efficient organizational 
structure, and costs to transition the acquired company's information technology and other operating and administrative 
functions from the former owner.  We recognized pre-tax acquisition-related expenses of $3.5 million and $10.5 million for the 
years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. 

Note 4—Accounts and Notes Receivable, Net

Allowances for losses on accounts and notes receivable of $15.0 million, $14.7 million and $15.6 million have been 

applied as reductions of accounts receivable at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. Write-offs of accounts and notes 
receivable were $1.1 million, $1.9 million and $2.0 million for 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Note 5—Merchandise Inventories

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had inventory of $771.7 million and $763.8 million, of which $749.5 million 
and $749.4 million were valued under LIFO. If LIFO inventories had been valued on a current cost or first-in, first-out (FIFO) 
basis, they would have been greater by $108.6 million and $110.9 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

39

 
Note 6—Financing Receivables and Payables

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had financing receivables of $198.5 million and $140.7 million  and related 

payables of $165.3 million and $130.1 million outstanding under our order-to-cash program, which were included in other 
current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.

Property held for sale of $1.1 million at December 31, 2012 is included in other assets, net, in the consolidated 

balance sheets. We have no property classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013.

Gross intangible assets increased $1.3 million in 2013 as a result of finalizing the Movianto purchase price 

allocation (see Note 3), partially offset by the write-off of a fully amortized intangible for $0.3 million.  Amortization expense 
for intangible assets was $3.3 million for 2013, $2.5 million for 2012, and $3.1 million for 2011.

Based on the current carrying value of intangible assets subject to amortization, estimated amortization expense is 

$4.5 million for 2014, $5.0 million for 2015, $5.1 million for 2016, $5.0 million for 2017 and $4.2 million for 2018.

Note 9—Exit and Realignment Costs

We periodically incur exit and realignment and other charges associated with optimizing our operations, which 

include the consolidation of distribution centers, the realignment of our distribution network, and the closure of offsite 
warehouses. 

In 2013, we expensed $8.9 million associated with these activities, of which $8.2 million was in the Domestic 

segment and $0.7 million was in the International segment. The charges include $3.1 million in loss accruals associated with 
our operating leases and estimated severance. The remaining charges of $5.8 million were comprised of costs that are expensed 
as incurred and not reflected in the table below, including $3.7 million in product move costs and the remainder in losses on 
property and equipment and other expenses. We expect additional exit and realignment charges of approximately $2.5 million 
over 2014 for activities initiated in the Domestic segment through December 31, 2013.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, we expensed total charges in our Domestic segment of $2.2 million associated 

with exit and realignment activities. These charges include $1.1 million in employee severance. The remaining charges of $1.1 
million are comprised of costs that were expensed as incurred and not reflected in the table below, including $0.8 million 
related to impairment losses associated with property and equipment and $0.3 million in other expenses.

 During 2011, we expensed total charges of $12.7 million associated with exit activities and our organizational 

realignment. These charges included loss accruals for operating leases of $8.4 million and employee severance costs of $3.0 
million.  The remaining charges of $1.3 million are comprised of costs that were expensed as incurred and not reflected in the 
table below, including losses associated with property and equipment and other expenses. In the fourth quarter of 2012, we 
recorded income of $2.6 million related to a favorable lease settlement associated with the 2011 activities.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had $200 million of 6.35% Senior Notes outstanding, which mature on 

April 15, 2016 (Senior Notes). Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15. We may 
redeem  the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 
Senior Notes or the present value of remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest discounted at the applicable 
Treasury Rate plus 0.25%. The observed yield of the senior notes at December 31, 2013 was 2.12%.

On June 5, 2012, we entered into a five-year $350 million Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and a syndicate of financial institutions (the Credit Agreement) expiring June 5, 2017. This 
agreement replaced an existing $350 million credit agreement that expired June 7, 2013. Under the new credit facility, we have 
the ability to request two one-year extensions and to request an increase in aggregate commitments by up to $150 million. The 
interest rate on the new credit facility, which is subject to adjustment quarterly, is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate 
(LIBOR), the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, plus an adjustment based on the better of our debt ratings or leverage ratio 
(Credit Spread) as defined by the Credit Agreement. We are charged a commitment fee of between 17.5 and 42.5 basis points 
on the unused portion of the facility. The terms of the Credit Agreement limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur 
and require us to maintain ratios for leverage and interest coverage, including on a pro forma basis in the event of an 
acquisition. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had no borrowings and letters of credit of $5.0 million outstanding on the 
revolving credit facility, leaving $345.0 million available for borrowing. We also had a $1.5 million and $1.4 million letter of 
credit supporting our European leased facilities outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 not issued under our Credit 
Agreement.

The Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes contain cross-default provisions which could result in the 

acceleration of payments due in the event of default of either agreement. We believe we were in compliance with our debt 
covenants at December 31, 2013.

We assumed debt (primarily capitalized lease obligations) of approximately $2.1 million with the acquisition of 

Movianto.

Cash payments for interest during 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $14.7 million, $14.7 million and $14.1 million.

Based on lease commitments outstanding at December 31, 2013, minimum capital lease payments, excluding 

interest, are $3.5 million in 2014, $2.9 million in 2015, $2.4 million in 2016, $1.6 million in 2017 and $1.0 million in 2018. 

Note 11—Derivative Financial Instruments

In April 2011, we entered into interest rate swap agreements for an aggregate $175 million in notional amounts, 
under which we paid counterparties a variable rate based on the six-month LIBOR plus a spread of approximately 393 basis 
points, and the counterparties paid us a fixed rate of 6.35%. These agreements effectively converted 87.5% of our Senior Notes 
to variable-rate debt. The swaps were designated as fair value hedges of specified portions of the Senior Notes using the 
shortcut method, as both the swaps and the Senior Notes met all of the conditions for the use of this method. Accordingly, no 
net gains or losses were recorded in the consolidated statements of income related to changes in the fair value of the underlying 
debt and interest rate swap agreements.

We terminated these swaps in July 2011 and received proceeds of $4.0 million, plus accrued interest of $0.8 million. 

The fair value adjustment of $4.0 million to the carrying value of the related debt, plus the remaining balance of a fair value 
adjustment related to interest rate swaps terminated in 2008, are being recognized as an offset to interest expense using the 
interest method over the remaining life of the debt. We did not hold any derivative financial instruments during 2012 or 2013.

Note 12—Share-Based Compensation

We maintain a share-based compensation plan (the Plan) that is administered by the Compensation and Benefits 

Committee of the Board of Directors. The Plan allows us to award or grant to officers, directors and employees incentive, non-
qualified and deferred compensation stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), performance shares, and restricted and 
unrestricted stock. We use authorized and unissued common shares for grants of restricted stock or for stock option exercises. 
At December 31, 2013, approximately 2.0 million common shares were available for issuance under the Plan.

Restricted stock awarded under the Plan generally vests over one, three or five years. Certain restricted stock grants 

contain accelerated vesting provisions, based on the satisfaction of certain performance criteria related to the achievement of 
certain financial and operational results. Performance shares awarded under the Plan are issuable as restricted stock upon 
meeting performance goals and vest over three years. Stock options awarded under the Plan are generally subject to graded 
vesting over three years and expire seven to ten years from the date of grant. The options are granted at a price equal to fair 
market value at the date of grant. We did not grant any stock options in 2013, 2012, or 2011.

42

We have a Management Equity Ownership Program that requires each of our officers to own common stock at 

specified levels, which gradually increase over five years. Officers and certain other employees who meet specified ownership 
goals in a given year are awarded restricted stock or performance shares under the provisions of the program. We recognize the 
fair value of stock-based compensation awards, which is based upon the market price of the underlying common stock at the 
grant date, on a straight-line basis over the estimated requisite service period, which may be based on a service condition, a 
performance condition, or a combination of both. The fair value of performance shares as of the date of grant is estimated 
assuming that performance goals will be achieved at target levels. If such goals are not probable of being met, or are probable 
of being met at different levels, recognized compensation cost is adjusted to reflect the change in estimated fair value of 
restricted stock to be issued at the end of the performance period.

Total share-based compensation expense for December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, was $6.4 million, $5.7 million and 

$5.7 million, with recognized tax benefits of $2.5 million, $2.2 million and $2.2 million. Unrecognized compensation cost 
related to nonvested restricted stock awards, net of estimated forfeitures, was $10.2 million at December 31, 2013. This amount 
is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years, based on the maximum remaining vesting period 
required under the awards, and the amount that would be recognized over a shorter period based on accelerated vesting 
provisions, is approximately $0.5 million. Unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance share awards as 
of December 31, 2013 was $1.7 million and will be recognized primarily in 2014 if the related performance targets are met.

The following table summarizes the activity and value of nonvested restricted stock and performance share awards

Note 13—Retirement Plans

Savings and Retirement Plans. We maintain a voluntary 401(k) savings and retirement plan covering substantially 
all full-time and certain part-time employees in the United States who have completed one month of service and have attained 
age 18. We match a certain percentage of each employee’s contribution. The plan also provides for a minimum contribution by 
us to the plan for all eligible employees of 1% of their salary, subject to certain limits, and discretionary profit-sharing 
contributions. We may increase or decrease our matching contributions at our discretion, on a prospective basis. We incurred 
$10.1 million, $9.8 million, and $9.8 million of expense related to this plan in 2013, 2012 and 2011. We also maintain defined 
contribution plans in some of the European countries in which we operate. Expenses related to these plans were not material in 
2013 and 2012. 

Domestic Retirement Plan. We have a noncontributory, unfunded retirement plan for certain officers and other key 
employees in the United States (Domestic Retirement Plan). In February 2012, our Board of Directors amended the Domestic 
Retirement Plan to freeze benefit levels and modify vesting provisions under the plan effective as of March 31, 2012.

Plan benefit obligations of the Domestic Retirement Plan were measured as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and as 

of March 31, 2012. Plan benefit obligations are determined using assumptions developed at the measurement date. The 
weighted average discount rate, which is used to calculate the present value of plan liabilities, is an estimate of the interest rate 
at which the plan liabilities could be effectively settled at the measurement date. When estimating the discount rate, we review 
yields available on high-quality, fixed-income debt instruments and use a yield curve model from which the discount rate is 
derived by applying the projected benefit payments under the plan to points on a published yield curve.

these plans was $2.4 million and $2.2 million. We recorded $0.2 million and $0.1 million in net periodic benefit cost in selling,

The valuation allowances relate to deferred tax assets in various state and non-U.S. jurisdictions. Based on 
management’s judgments using available evidence about historical and expected future taxable earnings, management believes 
it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit of the existing deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, at 
December 31, 2013. The valuation allowances primarily relate to net operating loss carryforwards in non-U.S. jurisdictions 
which have various expiration dates ranging from five years to an unlimited carryforward period.  There were no significant 
decreases in valuation allowances during 2013.  

It is our intention to permanently reinvest the earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations. As of 

December 31, 2013, we have not made a provision for U.S. or additional foreign withholding taxes on investments in foreign 
subsidiaries that are permanently reinvested, and there are no deferred tax liabilities that have not been provided.

Cash payments for income taxes, including interest, for 2013, 2012, and 2011 were $65.4 million, $78.5 million, 

and $61.8 million.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $4.6 million and $12.3 million. A 
reconciliation of the changes in unrecognized tax benefits from the beginning to the end of the reporting period is as follows:

Included in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013 and 2012, were $3.4 million and $10.7 
million of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing 
of such deductibility. These tax positions are temporary differences which do not impact the annual effective tax rate under 
deferred tax accounting. Any change in the deductibility period of these tax positions would impact the timing of cash 
payments to taxing jurisdictions. Unrecognized tax benefits of $1.0 million and $1.7 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
would impact our effective tax rate if recognized.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Accrued 

interest at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $0.1 million and $0.6 million. Interest income recognized during 2013 and 2012 
was $0.4 million and $0.1 million. Interest expense recognized in 2011 was $0.2 million. There were no penalties accrued at 
December 31, 2013 or 2012 or recognized in 2013, 2012 and 2011.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Our U.S. federal income 
tax returns for the years 2011 and 2012 are subject to examination.  In 2013 we concluded examinations of the 2009 and 2010 
Federal returns and certain state income tax returns.  Our income tax returns for U.S. state and local jurisdictions are generally 
open for the years 2010 through 2012; however, certain returns may be subject to examination for differing periods.   The seller 
is contractually obligated to indemnify us for all income tax liabilities incurred by the Movianto business prior to our 
acquisition on August 31, 2012.

Note 16—Shareholders’ Equity

We have a shareholder rights agreement under which one Right is attendant to each outstanding share of our 

common stock. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from us one fifteen-hundredth of a share of a Series A 
Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock) at an exercise price of $66.67 (Purchase Price). The Rights 
will become exercisable, if not earlier redeemed, only if a person or group acquires more than 15% of the outstanding shares of 
our common stock, or if the Board of Directors so determines following the commencement of a public announcement of a 
tender or exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in ownership by a person or group of more than 15% of such 
outstanding shares. Each holder of a Right, upon the occurrence of certain events, will become entitled to receive, upon 
exercise and payment of the Purchase Price, Series A Preferred Stock (or in certain circumstances, cash, property or other 
securities of ours or a potential acquirer) having a value equal to twice the amount of the Purchase Price. The agreement is 
subject to review every three years by our independent directors. The Rights will expire on April 30, 2014, if not earlier 
redeemed.

In February 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $50 million of our 

outstanding common stock to be executed at the discretion of management over a three-year period, expiring in February 2014. 
The program is intended to offset shares issued in conjunction with our stock incentive plan and may be suspended or 
discontinued at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we repurchased in open-market transactions and retired 
approximately 0.6 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $18.9 million, or an average price per share of 
$33.72. As of December 31, 2013, we have no remaining shares available under the repurchase program. 

In February 2014, our Board of Directors renewed our share repurchase program authorizing the purchase of $100 

million in common stock through 2017. The timing of repurchases and the exact number of shares of common stock to be 
repurchased will be determined by management based upon market conditions and other factors. The program is intended, in 
part, to offset shares issued in conjunction with our stock incentive plan and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The noncontrolling interest in net income was not material in 2013, 2012 or 2011.

We include amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income related to defined benefit 

pension plans as a component of net periodic pension cost recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the 
year ended December 31, 2013, we reclassified $1.4 million of actuarial net losses. For the year ended December 31, 2012 and 
2011, we reclassified $1.0 million and $0.6 million of actuarial net losses and $0.2 million and $0.3 million of prior service 
costs. 

Note 18—Commitments and Contingencies

We have a contractual commitment to outsource information technology operations, including the management and 

operation of our information technology systems and distributed services processing, as well as application support, 
development and enhancement services. This agreement was amended in November 2013 to extend the terms of service 
through October 2017, with two optional one year extensions. The commitment is cancelable with 180 days notice and payment 
of a termination fee based upon certain costs which would be incurred by the vendor as a direct result of the early termination. 

We pay scheduled fees under the agreement, which can vary based on changes in the Consumer Price Index and the 
level of support required. Assuming no early termination of the contract, our estimated remaining annual obligations under this 
agreement are $37.1 million in 2014, $36.7 million in 2015, $36.6 million in 2016, and $30.4 million in 2017. We paid $45.7 
million, $52.5 million, and $48.4 million under this contract in 2013, 2012, and 2011. 

We have a contractual commitment to the partner in our joint venture in China to purchase a minimum dollar value 

of products in 2016. The maximum penalty which we would incur if we do not fulfill this commitment is $1.0 million.

51

 
 
We have entered into non-cancelable agreements to lease most of our office and warehouse facilities with remaining 

terms generally ranging from one to 20 years. Certain leases include renewal options, generally for five-year increments. We 
also lease most of our transportation and material handling equipment for terms generally ranging from three to ten years. At 
December 31, 2013, future minimum annual payments under non-cancelable lease agreements with original terms in excess of 
one year, and including payments required under operating leases for facilities we have vacated, are as follows:

Rent expense for all operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, was $76.7 million, 

$60.9 million, and $56.3 million.

We have contractual obligations that are required to be paid to customers in the event that certain contractual 

performance targets are not achieved as of specified dates, generally within 36 months from inception of the contract. These 
contingent obligations totaled $2.3 million as of December 31, 2013. If none of the performance targets are met as of the 
specified dates, and customers have met their contractual commitments, payments will be due as follows: 2014—$1.1 million; 
2015—$0.3 million; and 2016—$0.9 million. None of these contingent obligations were accrued at December 31, 2013, as we 
do not consider any of them probable. We deferred the recognition of fees that are contingent upon our future performance 
under the terms of these contracts. As of December 31, 2013, $0.9 million of deferred revenue related to outstanding 
contractual performance targets was included in other current liabilities.

During the second quarter of 2013, we reached a settlement in the administrative proceedings pending before the 

California Board of Equalization related to certain municipal sales tax incentives.  Under the terms of the settlement, we expect 
to receive approximately $4.3 million for the period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2013, of which $0.8 million was 
recognized prior to 2013 as well as $0.8 million for the period from July 1 to December 31, 2013.  In subsequent quarters, the 
company will receive an ongoing tax incentive that will vary with eligible revenues generated by sales to California-based 
customers.  

Prior to exiting the direct-to-consumer business in January 2009, we received reimbursements from Medicare, 

Medicaid, and private healthcare insurers for certain customer billings. We are subject to audits of these reimbursements for up 
to seven years from the date of the service.

In connection with the Movianto acquisition, we entered into transition services agreements with the former owner 
under which it provides certain information technology and support services. The original contract terms ranged from six to 24 
months and are cancelable without penalty with thirty days notice. As of December 31, 2013 these agreements were 
substantially complete.  

Various issues and potential claims related to the acquisition and transition of Movianto remain outstanding and 

under review and discussion with the former owner. The ultimate outcomes of these issues and potential claims, including their 
impact on future financial results, cannot be ascertained or estimated at this time. 

Note 19—Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal actions that are ordinary and incidental to our business, including contract disputes, 

employment, workers’ compensation, product liability, regulatory and other matters. We have insurance coverage for 
employment, product liability, workers’ compensation and other personal injury litigation matters, subject to policy limits, 
applicable deductibles and insurer solvency. We establish reserves from time to time based upon periodic assessment of the 
potential outcomes of pending matters.

Based on current knowledge and the advice of counsel, we believe that the accrual as of December 31, 2013 for 
currently pending matters considered probable of loss, which is not material, is sufficient. In addition, we believe that other 
currently pending matters are not reasonably likely to result in a material loss, as payment of the amounts claimed is remote, 

52

 
 
the claims are insignificant, individually and in the aggregate, or the claims are expected to be adequately covered by 
insurance.

Note 20—Segment Information

We periodically evaluate our application of accounting guidance for reportable segments and disclose information 

about reportable segments based on the way management organizes the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing 
performance. As a result of the August 31, 2012 acquisition of Movianto, we now report Movianto as a separate International 
business segment. Prior to the acquisition, we had one reportable business segment, which now comprises the Domestic 
segment. Accordingly, the Domestic segment now includes all services in the United States relating to our role as a medical 
supply logistics company serving healthcare providers and manufacturers.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on the operating earnings of our segments excluding 

acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges.

The following tables present financial information by segment:

Note 21—Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information for: Owens & Minor, Inc. (O&M); the 

guarantors of Owens & Minor, Inc.’s Senior Notes, on a combined basis; and the non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Senior Notes, on 
a combined basis. The guarantor subsidiaries are 100% owned by Owens & Minor, Inc. Separate financial statements of the 
guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because the guarantees by our guarantor subsidiaries are full and unconditional, as well as 
joint and several, and we believe the condensed consolidating financial information is more meaningful in understanding the 
financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the guarantor subsidiaries.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Owens & Minor, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Owens & Minor, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 
and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash 
flows for each of the years in the 
period ended December 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements 
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable 
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 
of Owens & Minor, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash 
flows  for  each  of  the  years  in  the 
period  ended  December 31,  2013,  in  conformity  with  U.S. generally  accepted 
accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 
Owens & Minor, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in 
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 24, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
