Dear Shareholders, Customers, Teammates, and Friends: Our customers are our top priority so that patient care can remain their top priority. Based on extensive time spent listening to what is most important to our customers, we know that value, risk mitigation, and flexibility are essential across the continuum of healthcare. Owens & Minor is committed to not only providing high value, but also offering a customizable suite of services and products that improve the clinician and patient experience without forcing customers into a rigid framework. In 2020, we look forward to building on the strong foundation we have established. We will work aggressively on driving operational excellence, continued productivity improvements, customer retentions and wins, and profitable growth. We will continue to focus on paying down debt while reinvesting for the future of our business. Finally, in January of 2020, we announced that we intend to sell our Movianto business in Europe. Divesting this business allows us to place additional focus on the three primary pillars of our business: distribution, products, and services.

Item 1. Business General Part I Owens & Minor, Inc. and subsidiaries (we, us or our), a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, is a leading global healthcare solutions company with integrated technologies, products and services aligned to deliver significant and sustained value for healthcare providers, manufacturers and directly to patients across the continuum of care. Our teammates serve healthcare industry customers in over 70 countries, by providing quality products and helping to reduce total costs across the healthcare supply chain by optimizing point-of care performance, freeing up capital and clinical resources and managing contracts to optimize financial performance. 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 and has operated continuously from its Richmond, Virginia headquarters. Through organic growth and acquisitions over many years, we significantly expanded and strengthened our company,yy achieving international scale in the healthcare market. Today,yy we have distribution, production, customer service and sales facilities located across Asia, Europe, Latin America and the United States. On April 30, 2018, we acquired substantially all of Avanos Medical, Inc.'s (Avanos, AA previously Halyard Health, Inc.) Surgical and Infection Prevention (S&IP) business, the name “Halyard Health” (and all variations of that name and related intellectual property rights) and its information technology (IT) systems in exchange for $758 million, net of cash acquired. The Halyard business is a leading global provider of medical supplies and solutions for the prevention of healthcare associated infections across acute care and non-acute care markets. On January 16, 2020, we announced our intention to sell our European logistics business, Movianto, to EHDH Holding Group (EHDH), a privately held French company. The divestiture is intended to provide us with a greater ability to focus on and invest in our differentiated Operations,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report for further information. Unless otherwise indicated, the following information relates to continuing operations. products, services and U.S. distribution businesses. See Note 3, “Discontinued ff Global Solutions In our Global Solutions segment, we offer ff a comprehensive portfolio of products and services to healthcare providers and manufacturers. Our portfolio of medical and surgical supplies includes branded products purchased from manufacturers and our own proprietary products. We store our products at our distribution centers and provide delivery of these products, along with related services, to healthcare providers around the nation. Our service offerings ff to healthcare providers include supplier management, analytics, inventory management, and clinical supply management. These value-add services help providers improve their process for contracting with vendors, purchasing supplies and streamlining inventory. These services include our operating room-focused inventory management program that helps healthcare providers manage suture and endo-mechanical inventory,yy as well as our customizable surgical supply service that includes the kitting and delivery of surgical supplies in procedure-based totes to coincide with the healthcare providers' surgical schedule. In addition to services to healthcare providers, we offer ff logistics and marketing solutions to our suppliers as well. These are designed to help manufacturers drive sales growth, increase market share and achieve operational efficiencies. 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,yy quarterly or annual basis. Manufacturer programs are generally negotiated on an annual basis and a variety of programs dedicated to providing outsourced ff We operate a network of 48 distribution centers located throughout the continental United States, which are strategically located to efficiently technology supports our business including warehouse management systems, customer service and ordering functions, demand forecasting programs, electronic commerce, data warehousing, decision support and supply-chain management. serve our provider and manufacturer customers. A significant investment in information ff 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 storing products. We have deployed low-unit-of-measure automated picking modules in our larger distribution centers to maximize efficiency ,yy and our distribution center teammates use voice-pick technology to enhance speed and accuracy in performing certain warehousing processes. We partner with a third party company to deliver most supplies in the United States. We also use contract carriers and parcel delivery services when they are more cost-effective in receiving and and timely ff ff ff 3 The majority of our distribution arrangements compensate us on a cost-plus percentage basis, under which a negotiated percentage mark-up is added to the contract cost of the product agreed to by the customer and the supplier or Group Purchasing Organization (GPO). We price our services for other arrangements under activity-based pricing models. In these cases, pricing depends upon the type, level and/or complexity of services that we provide to customers, and in some cases we do not take title to the product (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 distribution, selling and administrative expenses, rather than with the cost of the product, which is a component of cost of goods sold. Byram Healthcare expands our business along the continuum of care through delivery of disposable medical supplies sold directly to patients and home health agencies. Byram specializes in various patient care product lines including ostomy,yy wound care, diabetes, urology,yy incontinence and enteral. We receive payments for products sold through Byram from managed care plans, the U.S. federal government under the Medicare program, state governments under their respective Medicaid or similar programs, private insurers and directly from patients. Byram has a nationwide sales force, focusing on managed care and key referral sources, six centers of excellence aligned with specific product categories, and a nationwide network to optimize shipping distance and time. In 2018, our new customer solution, Fusion5, began in earnest and was created to help healthcare providers succeed in the shift from fee-for-service to value based care. A principal area where Fusion5 is currently engaged is helping providers manage bundled payment episodes under the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement, or BPCI, Advanced program. Fusion5 incurred start-up operating costs during 2019 and 2018 as the venture prepared to provide services to a portfolio of customers including acute care hospitals and physician group practices in 2019 and beyond. Global Products Our Global Products segment manufactures and sources medical surgical products through our production and kitting operations. With the acquisition of our Halyard Surgical and Infection Prevention (“Halyard”) business, we have expanded to provide medical supplies and solutions for the prevention of healthcare-associated infections across the acute and alternate site channels. ff Our manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, Thailand, Honduras, Mexico and Ireland. Our business including sterilization wrap, surgical drapes and gowns, facial has recognized brands across its portfolio of product offerings, protection, protective apparel, medical exam gloves, custom and minor procedure kits and other medical products. We use a wide variety of raw materials and other inputs in our production processes, with polypropylene polymers and nitrile constituting our most significant raw material purchases. We base our purchasing decisions on quality assurance, cost effectiveness ff maintaining high quality and reliability. We primarily purchase these materials from external suppliers, some of which are single-source suppliers. Global commodity prices can affect pricing of certain raw materials on which we rely. In our Halyard product line, polypropylene polymers, which are oil based, and nitrile represent a significant component of our manufacturing costs. In addition, the prices of other raw materials we use, such as resins and finishing supplies, often fluctuate in response to changes in oil prices. and regulatory requirements, and we work closely with our suppliers to assure continuity of supply while ff We support customer sales through a dedicated global sales force and direct our primary sales and marketing efforts toward hospitals and other healthcare providers to highlight the unique benefits and competitive differentiation We work directly with physicians, nurses, professional societies, hospital administrators and GPOs to collaborate and educate on emerging practices and clinical techniques that prevent infection and speed recovery. These marketing programs are delivered directly to healthcare providers. Additionally,yy we provide marketing programs to our strategic distribution partners throughout the world. We operate four major distribution centers located in North America and Asia that ship multiple finished products to multiple customers, as well as other distribution sites that also have customer shipping capabilities, in order to optimize cost and customer service requirements. ff ff of our products. Our proprietary products are typically purchased pursuant to purchase orders or supply agreements in which the purchaser specifies whether such products are to be supplied through a distributor or directly. This segment may sell on an intercompany basis to our Global Solutions segment when we are the designated distributor, to other third-party distributors or directly to healthcare providers. 4 Our Customers We currently provide products and services to thousands of healthcare provider customers either directly or indirectly through third-party distributors. These customers include multi-facility networks of healthcare providers offering spectrum of healthcare services to a particular market or markets as well as smaller, independent hospitals in the United States. In addition to contracting with healthcare providers at the Integrated Delivery Network (IDN) 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 Vizient, Premier, Inc. (Premier) and HealthTrustTT summary of these agreements: Purchasing Group (HPG). Below is a a broad ff GPO Vizient Premier HPG Year of Renewal 2019 2016 2017 Term 2 years 5 years 4 years Sales to Members as a % of Consolidated Net Revenue in 2019 37% 21% 14% 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 suppliers 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. In the Global Solutions segment, no sales of products of any individual suppliers exceeded 10% of our consolidated net revenue for 2019. Asset Management In our business, 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 profitability. We continually work to refine our processes to optimize inventory and collect accounts receivable. asset management is essential to our ff Inventory We are focused in our efforts ff to optimize inventory and continually consolidate products and collaborate with suppliers on inventory productivity initiatives. When we convert large-scale, IDN 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 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 affects our DSO. We ff 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. our DSO performance. As we diversify our customer portfolio, the change in business mix also affects ff Competition The industries in which we operate are highly competitive. Global Solutions competitors include two major nationwide manufacturers who also provide distribution services, Cardinal Health, Inc. and privately-held Medline Industries, Inc. In addition, we compete with a number of regional and local distributors, companies that distribute products to patient's homes and customer self-distribution models. Major outsourced logistics competitors serving healthcare manufacturers in the United States include United Parcel Service and FedEx Corporation. 5 The major competitors of our Global Products business include Cardinal Health, Inc., Medline Industries, Inc., Hogy RR Medical, Multigate Medical Products, Mölnlycke Health Care and HARTMANN distribution partners and GPOs are also competitors or are increasingly seeking to compete with us by direct sourcing their own products. In developing and emerging markets, we compete against reusable products, or low usage of infection prevention products, due in large part to limited awareness and education on infection prevention practices and products. The highly competitive environment requires us to seek out technological innovations and to market our products effectively . Our products face competition from other brands that may be less expensive than our products and from other companies that may have more resources than we do. Competitive factors include price, alternative clinical practices, innovation, quality and reputation. To successfully compete, we must demonstrate that our products offer versus other products. higher quality,yy more innovative features or better value Group.

In our Global Products business, we are focused on maintaining our market position by providing innovative customer-preferred product enhancements, with a particular focus on the operating room. Leveraging customer insights and our vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities, we seek to continuously improve our product designs, specifications and features to deliver cost efficiencies protection. We continuously refresh our surgical drape and gown portfolio to ensure that our products are aligned with the latest medical and procedural standards. Our research team works with healthcare providers to develop and design exam glove and infection prevention solutions for use throughout the apparel portfolios that optimize comfort and fit and provide cost-effective hospital. We are also investing in new categories and solutions that complement our technical expertise and existing intellectual property. We are particularly focused on those new categories that we believe will leverage our existing scalable technology platforms as well as our sales and marketing expertise. while improving healthcare worker and patient ff ff Intellectual Property Patents, trademarks and other proprietary rights are very important to the growth of our business. We also rely upon trade secrets, manufacturing know-how,ww continuing technological innovations and licensing opportunities to maintain and improve our competitive position. On a regular basis, we review third-party proprietary rights, including patents and patent applications, as available, in to develop an effective intellectual property strategy,yy avoid infringement of third-party proprietary rights, identify an effort ff licensing opportunities, and monitor the intellectual property owned by others. ff We have approximately 1,045 patents and patent applications pending in the United States and other countries that relate to the technology used in many of our products. We utilize patents in our surgical and infection protection products and currently have approximately 120 issued patents in the U.S. and over 500 issued patents in countries outside the U.S. These patents generally expire between 2020 and 2040. We do not license any patents from third parties that are material to our business. We also file patent applications for innovative product lines and solutions that result from our technical expertise. In order to protect our ongoing research & development investments, we have approximately 60 pending patent applications in the U.S. and approximately 300 pending patent applications in countries outside of the U.S. With respect to trademarks, we have approximately 1,000 trademarks and trademark applications pending in the United States and other countries that are used to designate or identify our company or products. We have over 100 U.S. registration trademarks and over 700 registered trademarks outside of the U.S. We also have 27 pending trademark applications in the U.S. and 91 pending trademark applications outside of the U.S. Since the Halyard acquisition, we have and will continue to distribute products bearing the well-known “Halyard” brand. Other well-known registered trademarks we use include Aero Blue, Quick Check, Smart-Fold, One Step, Purple, Purple Nitrile, and Purple Nitrile-Xtra. We consider the patents and trademarks which we own and the trademarks under which we sell certain of our products, as a whole, to be material to our business. However, we do not consider our business to be materially dependent upon any individual patent or trademark. Regulation The development, manufacture, marketing, sale, promotion and distribution of our products, as well as the provision of logistics and services in the healthcare industry are subject to comprehensive regulation by federal, state and local government agencies. Government regulation by various national, regional, federal, state and local agencies, globally,yy addresses (among other matters) inspection of, and controls over, research and laboratory procedures, clinical investigations, 6 product approvals and manufacturing, labeling, packaging, marketing and promotion, pricing and reimbursement, sampling, distribution, quality control, post-market surveillance, record keeping, storage and disposal practices. Our operations are impacted by trade regulations in many countries that govern the import of raw materials and finished products, as well as data privacy laws (including the General Data Protection Regulation) that require safeguards for the protection of healthcare and other personal data. In addition, we are subject to laws and regulations that seek to prevent corruption and bribery in the marketplace (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the United Kingdom Bribery as well as laws and regulations pertaining to Act, which provide guidance on corporate interactions with government officials) healthcare fraud and abuse, including state and federal anti-kickback and false claims laws in the United States. ff We must also comply with laws and regulations, including those governing operations, storage, transportation, manufacturing, sales, safety and security standards for each of our manufacturing and distribution centers, of the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Drug Enforcement Agency,yy the Department of Transportation, the Environmental Protection Agency,yy the Department of Homeland Security,yy the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and state boards of pharmacy,yy or similar state licensing boards and regulatory agencies. Compliance with these laws and regulations is costly and materially affects ff our business. Among other effects, ff healthcare regulations substantially increase the time, difficulty and costs incurred in obtaining and maintaining approval to market newly developed and existing products. We believe we are in material compliance with all statutes and regulations applicable to our operations. ff Our operations outside the U.S. are subject to local, country and European-wide regulations, including those promulgated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Medical Devices Directive. In addition, quality requirements are imposed by healthcare industry manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies which audit our operations on a regular basis. Each of our manufacturing locations are licensed or registered with the appropriate local authority. We believe we are in material compliance with all applicable statutes and regulations, as well as prevailing industry best practices, in the conduct of our business operations outside of the United States. Since we market our products worldwide, certain products of a local nature and variations of product lines must also ff meet other local regulatory requirements. Certain additional risks are inherent in conducting business outside the United States, including price and currency exchange controls, changes in currency exchange rates, limitations on participation in local enterprises, expropriation, nationalization, and other governmental action. Demand for many of our existing and new medical devices is, and will continue to be, affected by the extent to which government healthcare programs and private health insurers reimburse our customers for patients’ medical expenses in the countries where we do business. Statutory and regulatory requirements for Medicaid, Medicare, and other government healthcare programs govern provider reimbursement levels. From time to time, legislative changes are made to government healthcare programs that impact our business, and the federal and/or state governments may continue to enact measures in the future aimed at containing or reducing reimbursement levels for medical expenses paid for in whole or in part with government funds. We cannot predict the nature of such measures or their impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Any reduction in the amount of reimbursements received by our customers could harm our business by reducing their selection of our products and the prices they are willing to pay. Compliance with these laws and regulations is costly and materially affects ff our business. Among other effects, ff healthcare regulations substantially increase the time, difficulty and costs incurred in obtaining and maintaining approval to market newly developed and existing products. We believe we are in material compliance with all statutes and regulations applicable to our operations. ff Employees At the end of 2019, we employed approximately 6,400 full- and part-time teammates in the U.S. and 9,000 outside of the U.S. Most of our teammates outside the U.S. are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We continue to have positive relationships with teammates and works councils.

This Code of Honor (including any amendments to or and senior financial officers. ff ff Item 1A. Risk Factors Set forth below are certain risk factors that we currently believe could materially and adversely affect ff our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 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. ff We face competition and accelerating pricing pressure. The medical/surgical supply distribution industry in the United States is highly competitive and characterized by pricing pressure which accelerated in 2017 and has continued and put further margin pressure on our business. We expect this margin pressure to continue. 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 outsourced logistics companies. Competitive factors within the medical/surgical supply distribution industry include market pricing, total delivered product cost, product availability,yy the ability to fill and invoice orders accurately,yy delivery time, range of services provided, efficient sourcing, inventory management, information technology,yy 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 condition. on our results of operations and financial product ff ff 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 and financial condition. The healthcare outsourced logistics business in the United States is characterized by intense competition from a number of international, regional and local companies, including large conventional outsourced logistics companies and internet based non-traditional competitors 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 results of operations and financial condition if we are unable to continue to retain and/or grow our revenues and to offset margin reductions caused by pricing pressures through cost control measures. ff ff our We have significant concentration in and dependence on certain healthcare provider customers and Group Purchasing Organizations. In 2019, our top ten customers in the United States represented approximately 25% of our consolidated net revenue. In addition, in 2019, approximately 72% of our consolidated net revenue was from sales to member hospitals under contract with our largest group purchasing organizations (GPO): Vizient, Premier and HPG. We could lose a significant healthcare provider customer or GPO relationship if an existing contract expires without being replaced or is terminated by the customer or GPO prior to its expiration. 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 healthcare provider customer relationship, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. ff Our operating income is dependent on certain significant domestic suppliers. In North America, we distribute products from approximately 1,000 suppliers and are dependent on these suppliers for the continuing supply of products. In 2019, sales of products of our ten largest domestic suppliers accounted for approximately 45% of consolidated net revenue. In the Global Solutions segment, no sales of products of any individual suppliers exceeded 10% of our consolidated net revenue for 2019. We rely on suppliers to provide agreeable purchasing and delivery terms and performance incentives. Our ability to sustain adequate operating income has been, and will continue to be, dependent upon our ability to obtain favorable terms and incentives from suppliers, as well as suppliers continuing use of third-party distributors to 8 sell and deliver their products. A change in terms by a significant supplier, the decision of such a supplier to distribute its products directly to healthcare providers rather than through third-party distributors, or a key supplier’s failure to sell and deliver us products necessary to meet our customers’ demands could have a material adverse effect and financial condition. on our results of operations ff Our results of operations may sufferff substantial amount owed to us. upon the bankruptcy,yy insolvency,yy or other credit failure of a customer that has a 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,yy insolvency or other credit failure of one or more customers with substantial balances due to us could have a material adverse effect cash flows. on our results of operations, financial condition and ff Changing conditions in the United States healthcare industry may impact our results of operations. A large percentage of our revenue is derived 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 ff 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 business, results of operations and financial condition. ff We may not be able to generate sufficient ff cash to service our debt and other obligations. As of December 31, 2019, on a consolidated basis we had approximately $1.6 billion of aggregate principal amount of secured indebtedness as well as approximately $201 million in contractual obligations under our operating leasing arrangements and $209.3 million of undrawn availability under our credit facilities. Our ratio of total debt to total shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2019 was 337%. Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness and our other obligations will depend on our financial and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We may be unable to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any,yy and interest on our indebtedness. ff to If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient ff to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. We cannot assure you that we would be able to implement any of these alternatives on satisfactory terms or at all. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and may be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain the proceeds that we could realize from them, and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due. If we are unable to service our debt obligations from cash flows, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our debt obligations prior to maturity. Our ability to refinance or restructure our debt will depend upon our financial condition or the condition of the capital markets at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. We may not be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. We may not be able to refinance, extend or repay our substantial indebtedness which would have a material adverse affect on our financial condition. ff Our 2021 Notes and our 2024 Notes become due and payable on September 2021 and December 2024, respectively. We anticipate that we will need to raise capital in order to repay the 2021 Notes and/or the 2024 Notes. As of December 31, 2019, we owed $238 million under our 2021 Notes and $275 million under our 2024 Notes. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital ff 9 to repay these obligations at maturity and we are otherwise unable to extend the maturity dates or refinance these obligations, we would be in default. Additionally,yy our Credit Agreement has a “springing maturity date” with respect to the revolving loans and the Term A loans and the Term B loans. If as of the date 91 days prior to the maturity date of our 2021 Notes all outstanding amounts under the 2021 Notes have not been paid in full, then the Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the revolving credit facility and the Term A loans shall be the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2021 Notes. Likewise, if as of the date 91 days prior to the maturity date of our 2024 Notes, all outstanding amounts under the 2024 Notes have not been paid in full, the Termination Date of the Term B loan shall be the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2024 Notes. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to raise the necessary amount of capital to repay these obligations or that we will be able to extend the maturity dates or otherwise refinance these obligations. Upon a default, our lenders would have the right to exercise its rights and remedies to collect, which would include foreclosing on our assets. Accordingly,yy a default would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. ff Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our indebtedness service obligations to increase significantly.yy Certain borrowings under our credit agreements bear interest at variable rates and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates were to increase, our debt service obligations on our variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our earnings and cash flows will correspondingly decrease. Our credit facilities and our existing notes have restrictive covenants that could limit our financial flexibility.yy The indentures that govern our existing notes and our credit facilities contain financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. Our credit facilities and the indentures governing our existing notes include restrictions that, among other things, limit our ability to: incur indebtedness; grant liens; engage in mergers, consolidations and liquidations; make asset dispositions, restricted payments and investments; enter into transactions with affiliates; Under our credit facilities, we are subject to financial covenants that require us to maintain ratios for leverage and interest coverage, including on a pro forma basis in the event of an acquisition and limit our capital expenditures. and amend, modify or prepay certain indebtedness. ff Our failure to comply with these restrictions or covenants could result in a default under the agreements governing the relevant indebtedness. If a default under the credit facilities and the indentures governing our existing notes is not cured or waived, such default could result in the acceleration of debt or other payment obligations under our debt or other agreements that contain cross-acceleration, cross-default or similar provisions, which could require us to repurchase or pay debt or other obligations prior to the date it is otherwise due. Our ability to comply with covenants contained in the credit facilities and the indentures governing our existing notes by events beyond our control, and any other debt or other agreements to which we are or may become a party,yy may be affected including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. Even if we are able to comply with all of the applicable covenants, the restrictions on our ability to manage our business in our sole discretion could adversely affect among other things, limiting our ability to take advantage of financings, mergers, acquisitions and other corporate opportunities that we believe would be beneficial to us. our business by,yy ff ff An interruption in the ability of our business to manufacture products may have a material adverse effect ff on our business. We manufacture the majority of our products in eight facilities, three in the United States, one each in Thailand, Ireland and Honduras and two in Mexico. If one or more of these facilities experience damage, or if these manufacturing capabilities are otherwise limited or stopped due to quality,yy regulatory or other reasons, including natural disasters, geopolitical events, prolonged power or equipment failures, labor disputes or unsuccessful imports/exports of products as well as supply chain transportation disruptions, it may not be possible to timely manufacture the relevant products at required levels or at all. A reduction or interruption in any of these manufacturing processes could have a material adverse effect results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. on our business, ff An inability to obtain key components, raw materials or manufactured products from third parties may have a material adverse effect on our Global Products segment. ff Our Global Products segment depends on the availability of various components, raw materials and manufactured products supplied by others for its operations. If the capabilities of suppliers and third-party manufacturers are limited or stopped, due to quality,yy regulatory or other reasons, that could negatively impact our ability to manufacture or deliver our 10 products and could lead to exposure to regulatory actions. Further, for quality assurance or cost effectiveness, purchased from sole suppliers certain components and raw materials such as polymers used in our products, and we expect to continue to purchase these components and raw materials from these sole suppliers. Although there are other sources in the market place for these items, we may not be able to quickly establish additional or replacement sources for certain components or materials due to regulations and requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory authorities regarding the manufacture of our products. The loss of any sole supplier or any sustained supply interruption that ff affects ff effect the ability to manufacture or deliver our products in a timely or cost effective on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. manner could have a material adverse we have ff ff We may incur product liability losses, litigation liability,yy product recalls, safety alerts or regulatory action associated with the products that we source, assemble, manufacture and sell which can be costly and disruptive to our business. The risk of product liability claims is inherent in the design, assembly,yy manufacture and marketing of the medical products of the types we sell. A number of factors could result in an unsafe condition or injury to, or death of, a patient with respect to the products that we source, assemble, manufacture or sell, including physician technique and experience in performing the relevant surgical procedure, component failures, manufacturing flaws, design defects or inadequate disclosure of product-related risks or information. In addition to product liability claims and litigation, an unsafe condition or injury to, or death of, a patient associated with our products could lead to a recall of, or issuance of a safety alert relating to, our products, or suspension or delay of regulatory product approvals or clearances, product seizures or detentions, governmental investigations, civil or criminal sanctions or injunctions to halt manufacturing and distribution of our products. Any one of these could result in significant costs and negative publicity resulting in reduced market acceptance and demand for our products and harm our reputation. In addition, a recall or injunction affecting shipping hold. our products could temporarily shut down production lines or place products on a ff All of the foregoing types of legal proceedings and regulatory actions are inherently unpredictable and, regardless of the outcome, could disrupt our business, result in substantial costs or the diversion of management attention and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. ff We must obtain clearance or approval from the appropriate regulatory authorities prior to introducing a new product or a modification to an existing product. The regulatory clearance process may result in substantial costs, delays and limitations on the types and uses of products business. we can bring to market, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our ff ff In the United States, before we can market a new product, or a new use of, or claim for, or significant modification to, an existing product, we generally must first receive clearance or approval from the FDA and certain other regulatory authorities. Most major markets for medical products outside the United States also require clearance, approval or compliance with certain standards before a product can be commercially marketed. The process of obtaining regulatory clearances and approvals to market a medical product can be costly and time consuming, involve rigorous pre-clinical and clinical testing, require changes in products or result in limitations on the indicated uses of products. We cannot assure you that these clearances and approvals will be granted on a timely basis, or at all. In addition, once a medical product has been cleared or approved, a new clearance or approval may be required before it may be modified, its labeling changed or marketed for a different Medical products are cleared or approved for one or more specific intended uses and promoting a device for an off-label could result in government enforcement action. Furthermore, a product approval or clearance can be withdrawn or limited due to unforeseen problems with the medical product or issues relating to its application. The regulatory clearance and approval process may result in, among other things, delayed, if at all, realization of product net sales, substantial additional costs and limitations on the types of products we may bring to market or their indicated uses, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. use. use ff ff ff Our inability to adequately integrate acquisitions could have a material adverse effect ff on our operations. In connection with our growth strategy,yy we from time to time acquire other businesses, including the Halyard acquisition (Halyard) and Byram Healthcare (Byram), that we believe will expand or complement our existing businesses and operations. The integration of acquisitions involves a number of significant risks, which may include but are not limited to, the following: • • • Expenses and difficulties Retention of current customers and the ability to obtain new customers; The assimilation and retention of personnel, including management personnel, in the acquired businesses; in the transition and integration of operations and systems; ff 11 • • • • • • • • • ff in implementing uniform controls, procedures and policies in our acquired companies; Accounting, tax, regulatory and compliance issues that could arise; Difficulties Unanticipated expenses incurred or charges to earnings based on unknown circumstances or liabilities; Failure to realize the synergies and other benefits we expect from the acquisition or at the pace we anticipate; General economic conditions in the markets in which the acquired businesses operate; Difficulties Failure to fully integrate information technology; Inadequate indemnification from the seller; and Failure of the seller to perform under any transition services agreement. encountered in conducting business in markets where we have limited experience and expertise; ff 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. ff Our Global Products segment is exposed to price fluctuations of key commodities, which may negatively impact our results of operations. Our Global Products Segment relies on product inputs, such as polypropylene and nitrile, as well as other commodities, in the manufacture of its products. Prices of these commodities are volatile and have fluctuated significantly in recent years, which may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations. The ability to hedge commodity prices is limited. Furthermore, due to competitive dynamics, we may be unable to pass along commodity-driven cost increases through higher cost increases through other cost reductions, or recover these costs through price increases or prices. If we cannot fully offset surcharges, we could experience lower margins and profitability which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. ff ff Our business and operations depend on the proper functioning of critical facilities, supply chain and distribution networks. Damage or disruption to our supply chain and distribution capabilities due to weather, natural disaster, fire, terrorism, pandemic, strikes, the financial and/or operational instability of key suppliers, geo-political events or other reasons could impair our ability to distribute products and conduct our business.

Fusion5 is a new enterprise with limited operating history. In 2018, Fusion5 began managing bundled payment episodes under the BCPI-A program. As of December 31, 2019, Fusion5 had incurred losses exceeding the revenue generated. Due to the nature of the BPCI-A program and Fusion5’s contracts with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) from our expectations. Additionally,yy under certain of and healthcare providers, the timing of payments to Fusion5 may differ its contracts with healthcare providers, generally referred to as “risk-share” or “gain-share” contracts, Fusion5 takes financial risk for a portion of costs of medical procedures delivered by its customers. If these costs exceed, in the aggregate, fees paid to ff 12 or savings generated by Fusion5 under its contracts with customers, Fusion5 may continue to incur losses. Further, changes to the BPCI-A program by CMS with respect to payment timing could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. ff We are subject to stringent regulatory and licensing requirements. We are required to comply with extensive and complex laws and regulations at the federal, state and local government levels in the United States and other countries where we operate. 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 our results of operations and financial condition. required standards, could disrupt our operations and/or adversely affect ff Among the U.S. healthcare related laws that we are subject to include the U.S. federal Anti-kickback Statute, the U.S. federal Stark Law,ww the False Claims Act and similar state laws relating to fraud, waste and abuse. The requirements of these laws are complex and subject to varying interpretations, and it is possible that regulatory authorities could challenge our policies and practices. If we fail to comply with these laws, we could be subject to federal or state government investigations or qui tam actions (false claims cases initiated by private parties purporting to act on behalf of federal or state governments), which could result in civil or criminal sanctions, including the loss of licenses or the ability to participate in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs.

Failure to comply with applicable standards and regulations could result in civil or criminal sanctions, including the loss of our ability to participate in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs. We collect, handle and maintain patient-identifiable health information and other sensitive personal and financial information, which are subject to federal, state and foreign laws that regulate the use and disclosure of such information. Regulations currently in place continue to evolve, and new laws in this area could further restrict our ability to collect, handle and maintain personal or patient information, or could require us to incur additional compliance costs, either of which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. Violations of federal (such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, or HIPAA), state or foreign laws (such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, as amended, or GDPR) concerning privacy and data protection could subject us to civil or criminal penalties, breach of contract claims, costs for remediation and harm to our reputation. PP Compliance with the terms and conditions of Byram’s’’ Corporate Integrity Agreement requires significant resources and, if we fail to comply,yy we could be subject to penalties or excluded from participation in government healthcare programs, which could seriously harm our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. ff Prior to its acquisition by Owens & Minor, Byram entered into a five-year Corporate Integrity Agreement beginning April 2016 with the Office of Inspector General of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”). The Corporate Integrity Agreement provides that Byram shall, among other things, establish and maintain a compliance program, including a corporate compliance officer procedures, training and monitoring, a review process for certain arrangements between Byram and referral sources, a compliance hotline, an open door policy and a disciplinary process for compliance violations. The Corporate Integrity Agreement further provides that Byram shall provide periodic reports to the OIG, complete certain regular certifications and engage an Independent Review Organization to perform reviews of certain arrangements between Byram and referral sources. and committee, a code of conduct, comprehensive compliance policies and ff Failing to meet the Corporate Integrity Agreement obligations could have material adverse consequences for Byram including monetary penalties for each instance of non-compliance. In addition, in the event of an uncured material breach or deliberate violation of the Corporate Integrity Agreement, we could be excluded from participation in federal healthcare programs, or other significant penalties, which could seriously harm our results of operations, liquidity and financial results. We could be subject to adverse changes in the tax laws or challenges to our tax positions. We operate throughout the United States and other countries. As a result, we are subject 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 13 inventory in the United States or changes in tax accounting methods for inventory,yy import tariffsff These and other changes in tax laws and regulations could adversely affect taxes.

The U.K. withdrew from the European Union, effective will be maintained through December 31, 2020, the end of the transition period. The U.K. and E.U. will negotiate future trading arrangements during the transition period. An exit without a trade agreement in place would result in the United Kingdom losing access to free trade agreements for goods and services with the European Union and other countries. To the extent new trading arrangements are negotiated, the implementation of any agreements reached, and the changes to current operations and processes resulting therefrom, could have an adverse impact on our operations. Depending on the outcome of these negotiations, it is possible that Brexit will result in our E.U. operations becoming subject to materially different, potentially conflicting, laws, regulations or tariffsff which could require costly new compliance initiatives or changes to legal entity structures or operating practices.

U.S. GAAP requires us to test our goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if indicators for potential impairment exist. The testing required by GAAP involves estimates and judgments by management.

Our Credit Agreement has a “springing maturity date” with respect to the revolving loans and the Term A loans and the Term B loans.

Our ability to consummate any such transaction will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. We cannot provide any assurance as to if or when we will consummate any such transactions or the terms of any such transaction. ff We paid cash dividends on our outstanding common stock at the rate of $0.0025 per common share for each of the four quarters of 2019. In 2018, we paid quarterly dividends of $0.26 per common share for the first three quarters and $0.075 for the fourth quarter dividend was accrued at December 31, 2018 and paid in January 2019. In February 2020, the Board of Directors approved the first quarter dividend of $0.0025 per common share. 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, current and future limitations under our Credit Agreement (as amended) and other factors. In October 2016, the Board of Directors authorized an up to three-year share repurchase program of up to $100 million of the company’s outstanding common stock to be executed at the discretion of management over a three-year period. The authorization took effect 2019. We did not repurchase any shares during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. in December 2016 upon the completion of the previous authorization and ended in December ff We believe available financing sources, including cash generated by operating activities and borrowings under the ff Credit Agreement, will be sufficient payments under long-term debt and lease arrangements, payments of quarterly cash dividends, share and debt 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. to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, long-term strategic growth, 23 We earn a portion of our operating income in foreign jurisdictions outside the United States. Our cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries totaled $52.9 million and $27.9 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We continue to remain permanently reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of a subsidiary in Thailand. We have no specific plans to indefinitely reinvest the unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiary located in Thailand as of December 31, 2019. As such, we have recorded withholding tax liabilities that would be incurred upon future distribution to the U.S. There are no unrecognized deferred taxes as there is no outside basis difference earnings for Thailand. We will continue to evaluate our foreign earnings repatriation policy in 2020 for all our foreign subsidiaries. unrelated to unremitted ff Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not have guarantees or other off-balance ff sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, which we believe could have a material impact on financial condition or liquidity. 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 estimates used to prepare the financial statements. the reported amounts and related disclosures. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and ff 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 accounting policies and estimates include accounting for goodwill and long-lived assets and business combinations. . We believe our critical ff ff 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, right-of-use assets, and computer software costs. Intangible assets with finite useful lives consist primarily of customer relationships, tradenames, and other intangibles acquired through business combinations. Certain assumptions and estimates are employed in determining the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually,yy as of October 1, and whenever events occur or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. Qualitative factors are first assessed to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value does not exceed the carrying amount, then a quantitative test is performed. The quantitative goodwill impairment test uses valuation techniques to determine fair value, including comparable multiples of 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 $393.2 million at December 31, 2019. 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, 2019, long-lived assets included property and equipment of $315.4 million, net of accumulated depreciation; intangible assets of $285.0 million, net of accumulated amortization; operating lease assets of $142.2 million, net of accumulated amortization, and computer software of $43.6 million, net of accumulated amortization. The impairment review of goodwill and long-lived assets requires the extensive use of accounting estimates and assumptions. The application of alternative assumptions or inability to meet certain financial projections, could produce materially different results. ff 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. 24 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. ff 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 borrowing under our Credit Agreement. However, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate changes. We had $858 million in borrowings under our term loans, $178 million in borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $12 million in letters of credit under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2019. After considering the effects outstanding as of December 31, 2019, we estimate an increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would result in a potential reduction in future pre-tax earnings of approximately $6 million per year based on our borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2019. of interest rate swap agreements ff Due to the nature and pricing of our Global Solutions 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 using . We benchmark our domestic diesel fuel purchase prices against the U.S. Weekly Retail trucks with improved fuel efficiency On-Highway Diesel Prices (benchmark) as quoted by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The benchmark averaged $3.06 per gallon for 2019, a decrease from $3.18 per gallon in 2018. Based on our fuel consumption in 2019, we estimate that every 10 cents per gallon increase in the benchmark would reduce our Global Solutions segment operating income by approximately $0.3 million on an annualized basis. ff 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, British Pound and Thai Baht. We may use foreign currency forwards, swaps and options, where possible, to manage our risk related to certain foreign currency fluctuations. We are subject to price risk for our raw materials, the most significant of which relates to the cost of polypropylene and nitrile used in the manufacturing processes of our Global Products segment. Prices of the commodities underlying these raw materials are volatile and have fluctuated significantly in recent years and in the future may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations. The ability to hedge these commodity prices is limited. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data See Item 15. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules. Item 9.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (in thousands, except per sharerr data, 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, is a leading global healthcare solutions company with integrated technologies, products and services aligned to deliver significant and sustained value for healthcare providers and manufacturers across the continuum of care. Our teammates serve healthcare industry customers in over 70 countries, by producing quality products and helping to reduce total costs across the healthcare supply chain by optimizing point-of care performance, freeing up capital and clinical resources and managing contracts to optimize financial performance. 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). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. Reclassifications. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Use of Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to reported amounts and related disclosures. Estimates are used for, but are not limited make assumptions and estimates that affect to, the allowances for losses on accounts receivable, inventory valuation allowances, supplier incentives, depreciation and amortization, goodwill valuation, valuation of intangible assets and other long-lived assets, self-insurance liabilities, tax liabilities, defined benefit obligations, share-based compensation and other contingencies. Actual results may differ estimates. from these ff ff Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash includes cash and marketable securities with an original maturity or maturity at acquisition of three months or less. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are stated at cost. Nearly all of our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are held in cash depository accounts in major banks in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Cash that is held by a major bank and has restrictions on its availability to us is classified as restricted cash. Restricted cash represents $16.3 million held in an escrow account as of December 31, 2019 as required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in conjunction with the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) Advanced Program. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of those same amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. The restricted cash presented below is classified as non-current in Other assets, net within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Changes in book overdrafts are classified as operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Accounts Receivable, Net. In general, accounts receivable from customers are recorded at the invoiced amount and are reduced by any rebates due to the customer, which are estimated based on contractual terms or historical experience. 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. For our direct to patient business, accounts receivable are recorded net of a contractual allowance. 35 We maintain valuation allowances based upon the expected collectability of accounts 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 offff against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. 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 distribution inventories in the U.S. Cost of remaining inventories are determined using the first-in, first out (FIFO) or weighted-average cost method. Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. 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 three to 15 years for machinery and equipment, five to 40 years for buildings, and up to fifteen years for leasehold and land improvements. 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. We suspend depreciation and amortization on assets that are held for sale. Leases. We enter into non-cancelable agreements to lease most of our office and warehouse facilities with remaining terms generally ranging from one to 10 years. Certain leases include renewal options, generally for one to five-year increments. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. We include options to renew (or terminate) in our lease term, and as part of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We also lease some of our transportation and material handling equipment for terms generally ranging from three to 10 years. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The depreciable life of right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. ff Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of unpaid lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The right-of-use assets also include adjustments for any lease payments made and lease incentives received. Goodwill. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually,yy as of October 1, and whenever events occur or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. Qualitative factors are first assessed to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value does not exceed the carrying amount, then a quantitative test is performed. The quantitative goodwill impairment test involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the respective carrying amount. We determine the estimated fair value of our reporting units by using an income (discounted cash flow analysis) approach. The income approach is dependent upon several assumptions regarding future periods, including assumptions with is used to respect to future sales growth and a terminal growth rate. In addition, a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) discount future estimated cash flows to their present values. The WACC is based on externally observable data considering market participants’ cost of equity and debt, optimal capital structure and risk factors specific to our company. WW 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 three 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. We suspend amortization on assets that are held for sale. 36 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. Capitalized computer software costs are included in other assets, net, in the consolidated balance sheets. Unamortized software at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $43.6 million and $46.9 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense includes $9.3 million and $9.5 million of software amortization for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Implementation costs incurred for a cloud computing arrangement that is considered a service contract (software as a service or SaaS) are expensed as incurred. Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets, right-of- use 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. We suspend depreciation and amortization on assets that are held for sale. 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 current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Revenue Recognition. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 Revenue fromrr Contracts with Customers, which establishes principles for recognizing revenue and reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We applied the guidance using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the amount and timing of revenue recognized, therefore, no adjustments were recorded to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Our revenue is primarily generated from sales contracts with customers. Under most of our distribution and product sales arrangements, our performance obligations are limited to delivery of products to a customer upon receipt of a purchase order. For these arrangements, we recognize revenue at the point in time when shipment is completed, as control passes to the customer upon product receipt. Revenue for activity-based fees and other services is recognized over time as activities are performed. Depending on the specific contractual provisions and nature of the performance obligation, revenue from services may be recognized on a or when final straight-line basis over the term of the service, on a proportional performance model, based on level of effort, deliverables have been provided. ff Our contracts sometimes allow for forms of variable consideration including rebates, discounts and performance guarantees. In these cases, we estimate the amount of consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring the product or service to the customer. Rebates and customer discounts are estimated based on contractual terms or historical experience and we maintain an accrual for rebates or discounts that have been earned but are unpaid. The amount accrued for rebates and discounts due to customers was $49.5 million at December 31, 2019 and $44.2 million at December 31, 2018. Additionally,yy 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 or to provide credits toward future purchases by the customer. For these arrangements, 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. The amount deferred under these arrangements is not material. For our direct to patient sales, revenues are recorded based upon the estimated amounts due from patients and third- party payors. Third-party payors include federal and state agencies (under Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies. Estimates of contractual allowances are based upon historical collection rates for the related payor agreements. The estimated reimbursement amounts are made on a payor-specific basis and are recorded based on the best information available regarding management’s interpretation of the applicable laws, regulations and reimbursement terms. 37 In most cases, we record revenue gross, as we are the primary obligor in the arrangement and we obtain control of the products before they are transferred to the customer. When we act as an agent in a sales arrangement and do not bear a significant portion of inventory risks, primarily for our outsourced logistics business, we record revenue net of product cost. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues. See Note 21 for disaggregation of revenue by segment and geography as we believe that best depicts how the nature, ff amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold includes the cost of the product (net of supplier incentives and cash discounts) and all costs incurred for shipments of products from manufacturers to our distribution centers for all customer arrangements where we are the primary obligor, bear the risk of general and physical inventory loss and carry all credit risk associated with sales. Cost of goods sold also includes direct and certain indirect labor, material and overhead costs associated with our Global Products business. 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. ff In situations where we act as an agent in a sales arrangement and do not bear a significant portion of these risks, primarily for our outsourced logistics business, there is no cost of goods sold and all costs to provide the service to the customer are recorded in distribution, selling and administrative expenses. As a result of different ff practices of categorizing costs and different ff business models throughout our industry,yy our gross margins may not necessarily be comparable to other companies in our industry. Distribution, Selling and Administrative (DS&A) Expenses. DS&A expenses include shipping and handling costs, labor, depreciation, amortization and other costs for selling and administrative functions and all costs associated with our fee- for-service arrangements. Shipping and Handling. Shipping and handling costs are primarily included in DS&A expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and include costs to store, to move, and to prepare products for shipment, as well as costs to deliver products to customers. Shipping and handling costs totaled $422.3 million and $563.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Share-Based Compensation. We account for share-based payments to employees at fair value and recognize the related expense in distribution, selling and administrative expenses over the service period for awards expected to vest. Derivative Financial Instruments. We are directly and indirectly affected ff by changes in certain market conditions, which may adversely impact our financial performance and are referred to as “market risks.” When deemed appropriate, we use derivatives as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks, primarily foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk. We use forward contracts, which are agreements to buy or sell a quantity at a predetermined future date and at a predetermined rate or price, and interest rate swaps. We enter into derivative transactions that we believe will be highly effective purposes. the underlying risk and do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading at offsetting ff ff ff ff in offsetting All derivatives are carried at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. The designation of a derivative instrument as a hedge and its ability to meet the hedge accounting criteria determine how we record the change in fair value of the derivative instrument in our financial statements. A derivative qualifies for hedge accounting if, at inception, we expect the derivative will be highly effective standards at the time we enter into the derivative contract. We designate a hedge as a cash flow hedge, fair value hedge, or a net investment hedge based on the exposure we are hedging. For the effective portion of qualifying cash flow hedges, we record changes in fair value in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). We release the derivative’s gain or loss from OCI to match the of our hedging instruments quarterly,yy timing of the underlying hedged items’ effect recognize current period hedge ineffectiveness immediately in earnings, and discontinue hedge accounting for any hedge that we no longer consider to be highly effective. We recognize changes in fair value for derivatives not designated as hedges or those not qualifying for hedge accounting in current period earnings. The cash flow impact of the derivative instruments is primarily included in our consolidated statements of cash flows in net cash provided by operating activities. the underlying hedged cash flows and we fulfill the hedge documentation on earnings. We review the effectiveness ff ff ff ff ff 38 Income Taxes. aa We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities ff are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of ff 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 recognized in income 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,yy an estimate of the effect 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. of these uncertain tax positions is recorded. It is our policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is ff ff We earn a portion of our operating income in foreign jurisdictions outside the United States. We continue to remain permanently reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of a subsidiary in Thailand. We have no specific plans to indefinitely reinvest the unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiary located in Thailand as of December 31, 2019. As such, we have recorded withholding tax liabilities that would be incurred upon future distribution to the U.S. There are no unrecognized deferred taxes as there is no outside basis difference ff continue to evaluate our foreign earnings repatriation policy in 2020 for all our foreign subsidiaries. Our policy election for GILTILL is that we will record such taxes as a current period expense once incurred and will follow the tax law ordering approach. unrelated to unremitted earnings for Thailand. We will 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,yy defined by GAAP,PP 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. The carrying amount of restricted cash also approximates fair value due to its nature. The fair value of 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 Note 11 for the fair value of debt. The fair value of interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows considering the risks involved, including non-performance risk, and using discount rates appropriate for the respective maturities. Observable Level 2 inputs are used to determine the present value of expected future cash flows. See Note 14 for the fair value of derivatives. Acquisition-Related and Exit and Realignment Charges. We present costs incurred in connection with acquisitions in acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges in our consolidated statements of operations. 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 the organizational structure, and costs to transition the acquired company’s information technology and other operations and administrative functions from the former owner. Exit and realignment charges consist of costs associated with optimizing our operations which include the closure and consolidation of certain distribution and outsourced logistics centers, administrative offices also include costs related to our strategic organizational realignment which include management changes, certain professional fees, and costs to streamline administrative functions and processes. 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 contractual obligations discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest. We evaluate these assumptions quarterly and adjust the liability accordingly. The current portion of contractual termination costs are included in other current 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. and warehouses. These charges ff Income (Loss) Per Share. Basic and diluted income (loss) per share are calculated pursuant to the two-class method, under which unvested share-based payment awards containing non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities. 39 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, cost of goods sold 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 operations and were not material to our consolidated results of operations in 2019 and 2018. 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. Discontinued Operations: The Movianto business represents a component that met accounting requirements to be classified as discontinued operations and held for sale. In accordance with GAAP,PP the financial position and results of operations of the Movianto business are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. With the exception of Note 3, the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the continuing operations of Owens & Minor, Inc. See Note 3 for additional information regarding discontinued operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. During 2019, we adopted Accounting Standard Updates (ASU’s) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). FF In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. We adopted ASU No. 2016-02 in the first quarter of 2019. We elected to use the adoption date as our date of initial application and thus have not restated comparative prior periods. See Note 9 for additional information. ff In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements Accounting for Hedging Activities. ASU No. 2017-12 is intended to simplify the application of hedge accounting and provide increased transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs.

The amendments also expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of shareholders' equity for interim financial statements, in which registrants must now analyze changes in shareholders’ equity,yy in the form of reconciliation, for the current and comparative year-to-date periods, with subtotals for each interim period. This final rule was effective November 5, 2018. As of the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted all relevant disclosure requirements, including the shareholders’ equity interim disclosures. on ff Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted as of December 31, 2019: On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit rr of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the way entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net earnings.

GPOs representing a significant portion of our business are Vizient, Purchasing Group (HPG). Members of these GPOs have incentives to purchase from Premier, Inc. (Premier) and Health Trust their primary selected distributor; however, they operate independently and are free to negotiate directly with distributors and manufacturers. For 2019 and 2018, net revenue from hospitals under contract with these GPOs represented the following approximate percentages of our net revenue annually: Vizient—37% to 40%; Premier—19% to 21%; and HPG—13% to 14%. rr In 2019 and 2018, no sales of products of any individual suppliers exceeded 10% of our consolidated net revenue. Note 3—Discontinued Operations On January 16, 2020, we announced our intention to sell our European logistics business, Movianto, to EHDH Holding Group (EHDH), a privately held French company,yy for cash consideration of $133 million. The Company concluded that the Movianto business met the criteria for discontinued operations as of December 31, 2019, as the intention to sell represented a strategic shift and the criteria for held-for-sale were met. Movianto was previously reported in the Global Solutions segment. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2020. Accordingly,yy the results of operations from our Movianto business are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as “Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax” for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related assets and liabilities are classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 in the accompanying balance sheets. We recognized a loss of $32.1 million in connection with the classification of the related assets and liabilities as held-for-sale. 41 The following table summarizes the financial results of our discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018: Year ended December 31, Net revenue . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Cost of goods sold. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This business is reported as part of the Global Products segment. The following table presents the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized as of the acquisition date. The fair value of intangibles from this acquisition was primarily determined by applying the income approach, using several significant unobservable inputs for projected cash flows and a discount rate.

Goodwill of $106 million, which we assigned to our Global Products segment, consists largely of expected opportunities to expand into new markets and further develop a presence in the medical products segment. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The unaudited pro forma results of net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 as if Halyard S&IP was acquired on January 1, 2018 was $9.7 billion. The pro forma results of net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share are not presented because the effects were not material to our historic consolidated financial statements. Accordingly,yy the pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been if the acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated, nor are the pro forma results indicative of results which may occur in the future. ff 43 Acquisition-related expenses in 2019 and 2018 consisted primarily of transition and transaction costs for the Halyard transaction. We recognized pre-tax acquisition-related expenses of $15.7 million and $45.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Note 8—Goodwill and Intangible Assets As of October 1, 2019, we performed our annual impairment test and concluded that there were no impairments of goodwill as the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. In 2018, as a result of a decline in market capitalization of the company,yy and lower than projected financial results of which caused us to revise our expectations with certain reporting units due to customer losses and operational inefficiencies, regard to future performance, we determined there were indicators present that would require an interim impairment analysis. ff During 2018, we performed goodwill impairment tests and concluded that the fair values for certain reporting units were below their carrying amounts. The amount by which the carrying values of the impaired reporting units' goodwill exceeded their fair values was $180.2 million within our Global Solutions segment and $217.5 million within our Global Products segment, which were recognized as an impairment losses for the year ended December 31, 2018.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, $80.7 million and $99.2 million in net intangible assets were held in the Global Solutions segment and $204.3 million and $214.9 million were held in the Global Products segment, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $44.0 million for 2019 and $35.1 million for 2018. Based on the current carrying value of intangible assets subject to amortization, estimated amortization expense is $41.5 million for 2020, $39.8 million for 2021, $38.9 million for 2022, $38.7 million for 2023 and $33.9 million for 2024. Note 9—Leases We adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (TopicTT 842), as of January 1, 2019. We elected to use the adoption date as our date of initial application and thus have not restated comparative prior periods. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits us not to reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs under the new standard. We did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to us. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify,yy we will not recognize right-of- use assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases. The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $197 million and $201 million, respectively,yy as of January 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net loss and had no impact on cash flows. 45 The components of lease expense were as follows: Operating lease cost Finance lease cost: Classification Year Ended December 31, 2019 DS&A Expenses $ 53,588 Amortization of lease assets DS&A Expenses Interest on lease liabilities Interest expense, net Total finance lease cost . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Short-term lease cost DS&A Expenses Variable lease cost DS&A Expenses Total lease cost . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 1,322 1,189 2,511 348 16,415 72,862 Variable lease cost consists primarily of taxes, insurance, and common area or other maintenance costs for our leased facilities which are paid as incurred.

The 2021 Notes were sold at 99.5% of the principal amount yield of 4.422%. We ff with an effective have the option to redeem the 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes in part or in whole prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount or the present value of the remaining scheduled payments discounted at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points. We used $36.2 million of cash to repurchase $37.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes during 2019. ff 48 As of December 31, 2019, we had a Credit Agreement (amended February 2019) with a borrowing capacity of $400 million and $858 million in outstanding term loans. In connection with the 2018 Halyard S&IP acquisition, we amended our Credit Agreement to include, among others things, an additional $195.8 million Term A-2 loan and $500 million Term B loan. The revolving credit facility and Term A loans mature in July 2022 and the Term B loan matures in April 2025. We also have a Security and Pledge Agreement (the Security Agreement) pursuant to which we granted collateral on behalf of the holders of the 2021 Notes and the 2024 Notes and parties secured on the Credit Agreement (“the Secured Parties") including first priority liens and security interests in (a) all present and future shares of capital stock owned by the Credit Parties (as defined) in the Credit Parties’ present and future subsidiaries (limited, in the case of controlled foreign corporations, to a pledge of 65% of the voting capital stock of each first-tier foreign subsidiary of each Credit Party) and (b) all present and future personal property and assets of the Credit Parties, subject to certain exceptions. Our Credit Agreement has a “springing maturity date” with respect to the revolving loans and the Term A loans and the Term B loan. If as of the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of our 2021 Notes all outstanding amounts under the 2021 Notes have not been paid in full, then the Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the revolving credit facility and the Term A loans shall be the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 2021 Notes. Likewise, if as of the date 91 days prior to the maturity date of our 2024 Notes, all outstanding amounts under the 2024 Notes have not been paid in full, the Termination Date of the Term B loan shall be the date that is 91 prior to the maturity date of the 2024 Notes. We make principal payments under the term loans on a quarterly basis with the remaining outstanding principal due upon maturity. The interest rate on our revolving credit facility and Term A loans, which is subject to adjustment quarterly,yy is based on the Eurocurrency Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, plus an adjustment based on our EBITDA ratio as defined by the Credit Agreement. Our credit spread at December 31, 2019 was the Eurocurrency Rate plus 3.50%. Our Term B loan accrues interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, plus interest rate margin of 3.50% per annum with respect to Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and 4.50% per annum with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement). We are charged a commitment fee of between 12.5 and 25.0 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, 2019 and 2018, we had letters of credit of $11.7 million and $15.2 million, respectively,yy outstanding under the Credit Agreement. We also had letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding for $1.5 million as of December 31, 2019 and $4.4 million as of December 31, 2018, which supports certain facilities leased as well as other normal business activities in the United States and Europe. As of December 31, 2019, scheduled future principal payments of debt were $49.6 million in 2020, $287.4 million in 2021, $476.7 million in 2022, $5.0 million in 2023, $280.0 million in 2024, and $468.8 million thereafter. In February of 2020 we amended our Credit Agreement. Please see Note 23 for further information. The Credit Agreement 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, 2019. 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, 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, 2019 approximately 1.4 million common shares were available for issuance under the Plan. directors and employees incentive, non- ff 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 generally have a total performance and vesting period of 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 2019 or 2018. 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, a market condition, or any combination of these. 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 49 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. ff Total share-based compensation expense for December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $15.2 million and $16.0 million, with recognized tax benefits of $4.0 million and $4.1 million. Unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards, net of estimated forfeitures, was $18.1 million at December 31, 2019. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years, based on the maximum remaining vesting period required under the awards. Unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance share awards as of December 31, 2019 was $1.7 million and will be recognized primarily in 2020 if the related performance targets are met.

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 discretionary contribution by us to the plan for all eligible employees of 1% of their salary,yy subject to certain limits, and discretionary profit-sharing contributions. We may increase or decrease our contributions at our discretion, on a prospective basis. We incurred $10.5 million and $10.7 million of expense related to this plan in 2019 and 2018. 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 2019 and 2018. U.S. Retirement Plans. We have a noncontributory,yy unfunded retirement plan for certain retirees in the United States (U.S. Retirement Plan). In February 2012, our Board of Directors amended the U.S. Retirement Plan to freeze benefit levels and modify vesting provisions under the plan effective as of March 31, 2012. ff 50 The following table sets forth the U.S. Retirement Plan’s financial status and the amounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets: December 31, Change in benefit obligation Benefit obligation, beginning of year . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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,yy ff 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.

Note 14—Derivatives We are directly and indirectly affected ff by changes in foreign currency,yy which may adversely impact our financial performance and are referred to as “market risks.” When deemed appropriate, we use derivatives as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. We use a layered hedging program to hedge select anticipated foreign currency cash flows to reduce volatility in cash flows. We account for the designated foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges. These foreign exchange forward contracts, the remaining of which expired during 2019, generally had maturities up to 12 months and the counterparties to the transactions were typically large international financial institutions. We enter into foreign currency contracts to manage our foreign exchange exposure related to certain balance sheet items that do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting. These derivative instruments are adjusted to fair value at the end of each period through earnings. The gain or loss recorded on these instruments is substantially offset adjustment on the foreign currency denominated asset or liability. by the remeasurement ff We pay interest under our Credit Agreement which fluctuates based on changes in our benchmark interest rates. In order to mitigate the risk of increases in benchmark rates, we enter into interest rate swaps whereby we agree to exchange with the counterparty,yy at specified intervals, the difference notional amount. The interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap agreements are included in interest expense. between fixed and variable amounts calculated by reference to the ff We determine the fair value of our foreign currency derivatives and our interest rate swaps based on observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. We do not view the fair value of our derivatives in isolation, but rather in relation to the fair values or cash flows of the underlying exposure. Our derivatives are over-the-counter instruments with liquid markets. All derivatives are carried at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets in other assets and other liabilities. We consider the risk of counterparty default to be minimal. We report cash flows from our hedging instruments in the same cash flow statement category as the hedged items.

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we reclassified $1.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively,yy of actuarial net losses. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we reclassified $2.4 million associated with our interest rate swaps and $0.5 million associated with our foreign currency contracts out of accumulated other comprehensive loss. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we reclassified $1.0 million associated with our interest rate swaps and $0.1 million associated with our foreign currency contracts out of accumulated other comprehensive loss. 57 Note 19—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 expires in November 2021, with an optional 180 day extension. The commitment is cancelable with 180 days notice and payment of a termination fee based upon the remaining period left under the agreement. We pay scheduled fees under the agreement, which can vary based on changes in the level of support required. Assuming no early termination of the contract, our estimated remaining annual obligations under this agreement are $28.9 million in 2020, and $25.4 million in 2021. In 2018, we transitioned the management of our U.S. private fleet transportation and drivers to a third party company,yy which provides a robust technology platform that includes customer tracking and additional delivery capabilities. Under this contractual commitment, we pay scheduled fees which can vary based on changes in the level of support required. Assuming no early termination of this contract, our estimated remaining annual obligations under this agreement are $2.3 million in 2020, $2.3 million in 2021, $2.3 million in 2022, $2.3 million in 2023, and $2.1 million in 2024. In addition to these fixed annual obligations disclosed herein, we are also contractually obligated to reimburse the third party company for variable costs including, but not limited to, vehicle costs, driver wages and fringe benefits, fuel, and insurance premiums. Note 20—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,yy regulatory and other matters. We have insurance coverage for employment, product liability,yy 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, 2019 for In addition, we believe that other currently pending matters considered probable of loss, which is not material, is sufficient. currently pending matters are not reasonably likely to result in a material loss, as payment of the amounts claimed is remote, the claims are insignificant, individually and in the aggregate, or the claims are expected to be adequately covered by insurance. ff Note 21—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. We report our business under two segments: Global Solutions and Global Products. The Global Solutions segment includes our United States distribution, outsourced logistics and value-added services business. Global Products manufactures and sources medical surgical products through our production and kitting operations. The Halyard S&IP business, acquired on April 30, 2018, is a part of Global Products. We evaluate the performance of our segments based on their operating income excluding acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges, certain purchase price fair value adjustments, and other substantive items that, either as a result of their nature or size, would not be expected to occur as part of our normal business operations on a regular basis. Segment assets exclude inter-segment account balances as we believe their inclusion would be misleading and not meaningful. We believe all inter-segment sales are at prices that approximate market. 58 The following tables present financial information by segment: Year ended December 31, Net revenue: Segment net revenue 2019 2018 Global Solutions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Global Products. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.
