Insights

Broad-based Q4 growth, steady 2025 results, and moderate 2026 guidance signal stable execution.

Henry Schein delivered Q4 2025 revenue of $3.44 billion, up 7.7%, with non-GAAP EPS rising to $1.34 from $1.19. Strength came from dental equipment, specialty products, and technology, while medical distribution grew modestly.

For full-year 2025, sales reached $13.18 billion, up 4.0%, and non-GAAP EPS was $4.97, flat in dollars but higher per share after significant buybacks. The company repurchased 12.1 million shares for $850 million, which supported EPS and reduced share count.

Looking to 2026, management guides non-GAAP EPS to $5.23–$5.37 and sales growth of 3%–5%, with mid-single-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth. Actual performance will depend on sustaining equipment and specialty momentum, integrating acquisitions, and managing restructuring and advisory costs excluded from non-GAAP metrics.

Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC), the world’s largest provider of health
care solutions to office-based dental and medical practitioners, today reported
financial results for the fourth quarter ended
December 27, 2025.
“Our fourth-quarter sales reflect continuing momentum resulting in
the highest sales growth in 15 quarters.
We are
pleased with the sales results across all our businesses, particularly our
global equipment, specialty products and technology
businesses. This drove our strong fourth-quarter earnings which exceeded the
increased 2025 financial guidance we provided
in our third quarter earnings release,” said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer of
Henry Schein.
“The growth we have achieved,
especially over the second half of 2025, demonstrates the effective execution
of our
2025-2027 BOLD+1 strategic plan, and positions us well for the future. Our 2026
financial guidance underscores sustained
growth through continued strong execution of these strategies,” added
Mr. Bergman. “I am excited that Fred Lowery will join
Henry Schein as our CEO next week and believe that he will lead Henry
Schein to even greater success.”

more
Accelerated Stock Repurchase plan (ASR) which was completed in
the third quarter, at an average price of $71.60 per share
for a total of $250 million.
At year-end, Henry Schein had $780 million authorized and available for future stock repurchases.
2026 Financial Guidance
Henry Schein today provided financial guidance for 2026. Guidance
is for current continuing operations and does not
include the impact of restructuring expenses and related costs, amortization
expense of acquired intangible assets, the
impairment of intangible assets, changes in contingent consideration, costs associated
with shareholder advisory matters,
select implementation-related costs supporting value creation
initiatives,
and litigation settlements. This guidance also
assumes that foreign currency exchange rates remain generally consistent with
current levels.
2026 non-GAAP diluted EPS attributable to Henry Schein, Inc.
is expected to be $5.23 to $5.37.
2026 total sales growth is expected to be approximately 3% to 5% over 2025.
2026 Adjusted EBITDA
3
is expected to grow mid-single digits compared with 2025.
Adjustments to 2026 GAAP Net Income and Diluted EPS
The Company is providing guidance for 2026 diluted EPS and for 2026
Adjusted EBITDA on a non-GAAP basis, as
noted above. The Company is not providing a reconciliation of its 2026 non-GAAP
diluted EPS guidance to its projected
2026 diluted EPS prepared on a GAAP basis, or its 2026
Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income prepared on a GAAP
basis. This is because the Company is unable to provide without
unreasonable effort an estimate of restructuring expenses
and related costs, including its ongoing value-creation initiatives, and
the corresponding tax effect, which will be included in
the Company’s 2026 diluted EPS and net income, prepared on a GAAP basis. The inability to provide this
reconciliation is
due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence, magnitude,
financial impact and timing of related
costs.
Management does not believe these items are representative of the Company’s underlying business performance.
For
the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance
of the unavailable information, which could be
material to future results.
Fourth-Quarter 2025 Conference Call Webcast
The Company will hold a conference call to discuss fourth-quarter 2025
financial results today, beginning at 8:00
a.m. Eastern time. Individual investors are invited to listen to the conference
call through Henry Schein’s website by visiting
https://investor.henryschein.com/webcasts. In addition, a replay will be available beginning shortly after the call has
ended
for a period of one week.
The Company will be posting slides that provide a summary of its fourth-quarter
2025 financial results on its website at

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Use
of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In accordance with the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, we provide the
following cautionary remarks regarding important factors that, among others,
could cause future results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements, expectations and assumptions expressed or implied herein.
All forward-looking statements made by us are
subject to risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance.
These forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual
results, performance and achievements or industry results to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
These statements include total sales growth, EPS and Adjusted EBITDA guidance
and are generally identified by the use of such
terms as “may,” “could,”
“expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “anticipate,”
“to be,” “to make” or other
comparable terms. A fuller discussion of our operations, financial condition
and status of litigation matters, including factors that may
affect our business and future prospects, is contained
in documents we have filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission, or SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K,
and will be contained in all subsequent periodic filings we make with
the SEC. These documents identify in detail important risk factors that could
cause our actual performance to differ materially from
current expectations.
Risk factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from current and historical results include, but
are not limited to: our dependence on third parties for the manufacture and
supply of our products and where we manufacture products,
our dependence on third parties for raw materials or purchased components;
risks relating to the achievement of our strategic growth
objectives, including anticipated results of restructuring and value creation
initiatives; risks related to the Strategic Partnership Agreement
with KKR Hawaii Aggregator L.P.
entered into in January 2025; transitions in senior company leadership; our ability
to develop or
acquire and maintain and protect new products (particularly technology
and specialty products) and services and utilize new technologies
that achieve market acceptance with acceptable margins; transitional
challenges associated with acquisitions and joint ventures, including
the failure to achieve anticipated synergies/benefits, as well as significant
demands on our operations, information systems, legal,
regulatory, compliance,
financial and human resources functions in connection with acquisitions, dispositions
and joint ventures; certain
provisions in our governing documents that may discourage third-party
acquisitions of us; adverse changes in supplier rebates or other
purchasing incentives; risks related to the sale of corporate brand products; risks related
to activist investors; security risks associated with
our information systems and technology products and services, such as cyberattacks
or other privacy or data security breaches (including
the October 2023 incident); effects of a highly competitive (including,
without limitation, competition from third-party online commerce
sites) and consolidating market; political, economic, and regulatory
influences on the health care industry; risks from expansion of
customer purchasing power and multi-tiered costing structures; increases in
shipping costs for our products or other service issues with
our third-party shippers, and increases in fuel and energy
costs; changes in laws and policies governing manufacturing, development and
investment in territories and countries where we do business; general global and domestic
macro-economic and political conditions,
including inflation, deflation, recession, unemployment (and
corresponding increase in under-insured populations),
consumer confidence,
sovereign debt levels, fluctuations in energy pricing and
the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies and changes to
other economic indicators;
failure to comply with existing and future regulatory requirements, including
relating to health care; risks
associated with the EU Medical Device Regulation; failure to comply with
laws and regulations relating to health care fraud or other laws
-5-
more
and regulations; failure to comply with laws and regulations relating to the
collection, storage and processing of sensitive personal
information or standards in electronic health records or transmissions; changes
in tax legislation, changes in tax rates and availability of
certain tax deductions; risks related to product liability,
intellectual property and other claims; risks associated with customs policies or
legislative import restrictions; risks associated with disease outbreaks,
epidemics, pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), or
similar wide-spread public health concerns and other natural or man-made disasters; risks
associated with our global operations; the threat
or outbreak of war (including, without limitation, geopolitical wars),
terrorism or public unrest (including, without limitation, the war in
Ukraine, the Israel-Gaza war and other unrest and threats in the Middle East and
the possibility of a wider European or global conflict);
changes to laws and policies governing foreign trade, tariffs and
sanctions or greater restrictions on imports and exports, including
changes to international trade agreements and the current imposition of (and
the potential for additional) tariffs by the U.S. on numerous
countries and retaliatory tariffs; supply chain disruption;
litigation risks; new or unanticipated litigation developments and the status of
litigation matters; our dependence on our senior management (including,
without limitation, the transition to a new Chief Executive
Officer), employee hiring and retention, increases in labor
costs or health care costs, and our relationships with customers, suppliers and
manufacturers; and disruptions in financial markets. The order in which
these factors appear should not be construed to indicate their
relative importance or priority.
We caution that
these factors may not be exhaustive and that many of these factors are beyond our
ability to control or predict.
Accordingly, any forward-looking
statements contained herein should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual
results. We undertake
no duty and have no obligation to update forward-looking statements except
as required by law.
Included within the press release are non-GAAP financial measures that supplement
the Company’s Consolidated Statements of
Income prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the Company’s
actual results prepared under GAAP to exclude certain items. In the schedule
attached to the press release, the non-GAAP measures have
been reconciled to and should be considered together with the Consolidated
Statements of Income. Management believes that non-GAAP
financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information
about the financial performance of our business, enable
comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent
of business performance and allow for greater
transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating
our business. The impact of certain items that are excluded
include integration and restructuring costs, amortization of acquisition-related
assets, the insurance claim recovery associated with the
cybersecurity incident, changes in contingent consideration, costs associated with shareholder
advisory matters and select value creation
consulting costs, and litigation settlements because the amount and
timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size,
number and nature of the acquisitions we consummate and occur on an
unpredictable basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are
presented solely for informational and comparative purposes and should
not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding, similarly
captioned, GAAP measures.

Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures
provide investors with useful supplemental information

in operating our business.
These non-GAAP financial measures are
presented solely for informational and comparative
purposes and should not be regarded
as a
replacement for corresponding,
similarly captioned, GAAP measures.
