Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Owens & Minor, Inc. and the subsidiaries it controls (we, us, or our) and contain all adjustments necessary to conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

We report our business under two segments: Products & Healthcare Services and Patient Direct. The Products & Healthcare Services segment includes our Medical Distribution division, which includes our U.S. distribution business, along with our outsourced logistics and value-added services businesses, and our Global Products division which manufactures and sources medical surgical products through our production and kitting operations. The Patient Direct segment includes our home healthcare divisions (Byram and Apria).

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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 North America, 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 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 includes cash held in an escrow account as required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in conjunction with the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement initiatives related to wind-down costs of Fusion5, as well as $13.2 million and $13.5 million of cash deposits received subject to limitations on use until remitted to a third-party financial institution (the Purchaser), pursuant to the Master Receivables Purchase Agreement (RPA).

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.

	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	45,454	$	243,037
Restricted cash included in Other current assets		13,230		29,887
Restricted cash included in Other assets, net		16,406		—
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	75,090	$	272,924

Rental Revenue

Within our Patient Direct segment, revenues are recognized under fee-for-service arrangements for equipment we rent to patients and sales of equipment, supplies and other items we sell to patients. Revenue that is generated from equipment that we rent to patients is primarily recognized over the noncancelable rental period, typically one month, and commences on delivery of the equipment to the patients. Revenues are recorded at amounts estimated to be received under reimbursement arrangements with third-party payors, including private insurers, prepaid health plans, Medicare, Medicaid and patients. Rental revenue, less estimated adjustments, is recognized as earned on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable lease term. Net revenue related to equipment that we rent to patients was $148 million and $158 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and $442 million and $458 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Sales of Accounts Receivable

On March 14, 2023, we entered into the RPA, pursuant to which accounts receivable with an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed $200 million are sold, on a limited-recourse basis, to the Purchaser in exchange for cash. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were a total of $121 million and $124 million of uncollected accounts receivable, that were accounted for as sales and removed from our consolidated balance sheets. Under the RPA, we provide certain servicing and collection actions on behalf of the Purchaser; however, we do not maintain any beneficial interest in the accounts receivable sold.

Proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable are recorded as an increase to cash and cash equivalents and a reduction to accounts receivable, net of allowances, in the consolidated balance sheets. Cash received from the sale of accounts receivable, net of payments made to the Purchaser, is reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Total accounts receivable sold under the RPA were $542 million and $1.6 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we received net cash proceeds of $538 million and $1.6 billion from the sale of accounts receivable under the RPA and collected $550 million and $1.6 billion of the sold accounts receivable. Total accounts receivable sold under the RPA were $482 million and $894 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received net cash proceeds of $478 million and $888 million from the sale of accounts receivable under the RPA and collected $508 million and $805 million of the sold accounts receivable. The losses on sale of accounts receivable, inclusive of professional fees incurred to establish the agreement, recorded in other operating expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations were $3.6 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and $10.8 million and $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The RPA is separate and distinct from the accounts receivable securitization program (the Receivables Financing Agreement).

Acquisition-Related Charges 

Acquisition-related charges, included in the ‘acquisition-related charges and intangible amortization’ line item of our consolidated statements of operations, consist primarily of one-time costs related to acquisitions, including transaction costs necessary to consummate acquisitions, which consist of investment banking advisory fees and legal fees, director and officer tail insurance expense, severance and retention bonuses, and professional fees. Acquisition-related charges also include transition expenses and costs to integrate personnel, systems and processes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred $6.5 million and $10.2 million of acquisition-related costs related to the expected acquisition of Rotech Healthcare Holdings Inc. (Rotech), which consisted primarily of legal and professional fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $9.4 million and $11.9 million of acquisition-related costs, consisting of costs primarily related to the acquisition of Apria, Inc. (Apria).
