Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

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 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.

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited

to, those discussed in

the documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),

including our Annual Report on Form

10-K. Forward looking statements include the overall impact of the Novel

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

on us, our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition (including

any estimates of the impact on these

items), the rate and consistency with which dental and other practices

resume or maintain normal operations in the

United States and internationally, expectations regarding personal protective equipment (“PPE”) and COVID-19

related product sales and inventory levels, whether additional resurgences or variants

of the virus will adversely

impact the resumption of normal operations, whether vaccine mandates will

adversely impact us (by disrupting our

workforce and/or business), whether supply chain disruptions will adversely

impact our business, the impact of

restructuring programs as well as of any future acquisitions, and more generally

current expectations regarding

performance in current and future periods.

Forward looking statements also include the (i) our ability to have

continued access to a variety of COVID-19 test types, expectations regarding

COVID-19 test sales, demand and

inventory levels, as well as the efficacy or relative efficacy of the test results given that the test

efficacy has not

been, or will not have been, independently verified under normal FDA procedures

and (ii) potential for us to

distribute the COVID-19 vaccines and ancillary supplies.

Risk factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current

and historical results

include, but are not limited to: risks associated with COVID-19

and any variants thereof, as well as other disease

outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics, or similar wide-spread public health concerns

and other natural disasters; our

dependence on third parties for the manufacture and supply of our products;

our ability to develop or acquire and

maintain and protect new products (particularly technology products) and

technologies that achieve market

acceptance with acceptable margins; transitional challenges associated with acquisitions,

dispositions and joint

ventures, including the failure to achieve anticipated synergies/benefits; financial

and tax risks associated with

acquisitions, dispositions and joint ventures; certain provisions in our governing

documents that may discourage

third-party acquisitions of us; effects of a highly competitive (including, without

limitation, competition from third-

party online commerce sites) and consolidating market; the repeal or judicial

prohibition on implementation of the

Affordable Care Act; changes in 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; general global and domestic macro-economic and political

conditions, including inflation, deflation,

fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies,

and changes to other economic

indicators, international trade agreements, potential trade barriers and

terrorism; failure to comply with existing and

future regulatory requirements; risks associated with the EU Medical

Device Regulation; failure to comply with

laws and regulations relating to health care fraud or other laws 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;

risks related to product liability, intellectual

property and other claims; litigation risks; new or unanticipated litigation

developments and the status of litigation

matters; risks associated with customs policies or legislative import restrictions;

cyberattacks or other privacy or

data security breaches; risks associated with our global operations;

our dependence on our senior management,

employee hiring and retention, 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.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created

significant volatility and disruption of global financial markets in

2020 and 2021.

The impact of COVID-19 had a

material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows in 2020.

During the year ended

December 25, 2021, patient traffic levels returned to levels approaching pre-pandemic levels.

Demand for dental

products and certain medical products throughout 2021 was driven

by sales of PPE, COVID-19 test kits and other

COVID-19 related products.

During the three months ended March 26, 2022, with the exception of

COVID-19 test

kits, we experienced a decrease in the sales volume of PPE and COVID-19

related products.

During the three

months ended June 25, 2022,

we continued to experience a decrease in the sales volume of PPE

and COVID-19

related products and additionally we began to experience declining demand

for COVID-19 test kits.

We expect

continued volatility in sales of test kits for the remainder of the year.

During the three months ended June 25, 2022,

as a result of an increase in COVID-19 variants, we experienced a

modest decline in dental patient traffic which we believe is related to an increase in

patient appointment

cancellations and staff shortages.

We are continuing to monitor these trends closely and expect patient traffic to

increase again once cases of COVID-19 moderate.

In contrast to our dental business, during the three months

ended June 25, 2022, our medical business benefited from strong sales

in point-of-care diagnostic tests including

flu test kits, as well as generic pharmaceuticals and equipment.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and

assumptions made by us that affect, among

other things, our goodwill, long-lived asset and definite-lived intangible

asset valuation; inventory valuation; equity

investment valuation; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of

deferred income taxes and income

tax contingencies; the allowance for doubtful accounts; hedging activity;

supplier rebates; measurement of

compensation cost for certain share-based performance awards and cash bonus

plans; and pension plan

assumptions.

Due to the significant uncertainty surrounding the future impact

of COVID-19, our judgments

regarding estimates and impairments could change in the future.

There is an ongoing risk that the COVID-19

pandemic may again have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations

and cash flows and may

result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.

However, the extent of the potential

impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Executive-Level Overview

Henry Schein, Inc. is a solutions company for health care professionals powered

by a network of people and

technology.

We believe we are the world’s

largest provider of health care products and services primarily to office-

based dental and medical practitioners, as well as alternate sites of care.

We serve more than one million customers

worldwide including dental practitioners, laboratories, physician practices, and

ambulatory surgery centers, as well

as government, institutional health care clinics and other alternate care

clinics.

We believe that we have a strong

brand identity due to our more than 90 years of experience distributing health

care products.

We are headquartered in Melville, New York,

employ more than 22,000 people (of which approximately 10,600

are

based outside of the United States) and have operations or affiliates in 32 countries

and territories.

Our broad

global footprint has evolved over time through our organic success as well as through

contribution from strategic

acquisitions.

We have established strategically located distribution centers around the world to enable us to better serve our

customers and increase our operating efficiency.

This infrastructure, together with broad product and service

offerings at competitive prices, and a strong commitment to customer service,

enables us to be a single source of

supply for our customers’ needs.

While our primary go-to-market strategy is in our capacity as a distributor, we also manufacture certain dental

specialty products and solutions in the areas of implants, orthodontics

and endodontics.

We have achieved scale in

these global businesses primarily through acquisitions as manufacturers

of these products typically do not utilize a

distribution channel to serve customers.

We conduct our business through two reportable segments: (i) health care distribution and (ii) technology and

value-added services.

These segments offer different products and services to the same customer base.

Our global

dental businesses serve office-based dental practitioners, dental laboratories, schools and

other institutions.

Our

global medical businesses serve office-based medical practitioners, ambulatory

surgery centers, other alternate-care

settings and other institutions.

The health care distribution reportable segment aggregates our global

dental and medical operating segments.

This

segment distributes consumable products, small equipment, laboratory products,

large equipment, equipment repair

services, branded and generic pharmaceuticals, vaccines, surgical products, dental

specialty products (including

implant, orthodontic and endodontic products), diagnostic tests, infection-control

products,

PPE and vitamins.

Our global technology and value-added services business provides software,

technology and other value-added

services to health care practitioners.

Our technology business offerings include practice management software

systems for dental and medical practitioners.

Our value-added practice solutions include practice consultancy,

education, revenue cycle management and financial services on a non-recourse

basis, e-services, practice

technology, network and hardware services, as well as consulting, and continuing education services for

practitioners.

A key element to grow closer to our customers is our One Schein

initiative, which is a unified go-to-market

approach that enables practitioners to work synergistically with our supply chain,

equipment sales and service and

other value-added services, allowing our customers to leverage

the combined value that we offer through a single

program.

Specifically, One Schein provides customers with streamlined access to our comprehensive offering of

national brand products, our private label products and proprietary specialty

products and solutions (including

implant, orthodontic and endodontic products).

In addition, customers have access to a wide range of services,

including software and other value-added services.

Industry Overview

In recent years, the health care industry has increasingly focused on cost containment.

This trend has benefited

distributors capable of providing a broad array of products and services at

low prices.

It also has accelerated the

growth of HMOs, group practices, other managed care accounts and collective

buying groups, which, in addition to

their emphasis on obtaining products at competitive prices, tend to

favor distributors capable of providing

specialized management information support.

We believe that the trend towards cost containment has the potential

to favorably affect demand for technology solutions, including software, which

can enhance the efficiency and

facilitation of practice management.

Our operating results in recent years have been significantly affected by strategies

and transactions that we

undertook to expand our business, domestically and internationally, in part to address significant changes

in the

health care industry, including consolidation of health care distribution companies, health care reform, trends

toward managed care, cuts in Medicare and collective purchasing arrangements.

Our current and future results have been and could be impacted by

the COVID-19 pandemic, the current economic

environment and continued economic and public health uncertainty.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in

early 2020, we have been carefully monitoring its impact on our global

operations and have taken appropriate steps

to minimize the risk to our employees.

We have seen and expect to continue to see changes in demand trends for

some of our products and services, supply chain challenges and labor

challenges, as rates of infection fluctuate, new

strains or variants of COVID-19 emerge and spread, vaccine uptake and mandates increase

and change,

governments adapt their approaches to combatting the virus (including,

without limitation, vaccine mandates), and

local conditions change across geographies.

For example, vaccine mandates affecting our workforce, whether

imposed through government regulations or contracts with governmental authorities

or other customers, could

potentially cause staffing shortages if employees choose not to comply as well as

other consequences to our

business or operations, and managing and tracking vaccination status and

ongoing testing for exempt employees

could potentially increase our costs, as could addressing inconsistent COVID-19

vaccination mandates.

As a result,

we expect to see continued volatility through at least the duration of the pandemic.

Industry Consolidation

The health care products distribution industry, as it relates to office-based health care practitioners, is fragmented

and diverse.

The industry ranges from sole practitioners working out

of relatively small offices to group practices

or service organizations ranging in size from a few practitioners to a large number of practitioners who

have

combined or otherwise associated their practices.

Due in part to the inability of office-based health care practitioners to store and manage

large quantities of supplies

in their offices, the distribution of health care supplies and small equipment to office-based health

care practitioners

has been characterized by frequent, small quantity orders, and a need for rapid,

reliable and substantially complete

order fulfillment.

The purchasing decisions within an office-based health care practice are

typically made by the

practitioner or an administrative assistant.

Supplies and small equipment are generally purchased from more

than

one distributor, with one generally serving as the primary supplier.

The trend of consolidation extends to our customer base.

Health care practitioners are increasingly seeking to

partner, affiliate or combine with larger entities such as hospitals, health systems, group practices or physician

hospital organizations.

In many cases, purchasing decisions for consolidated groups

are made at a centralized or

professional staff level; however, orders are delivered to the practitioners’ offices.

We believe that consolidation within the industry will continue to result in a number of distributors, particularly

those with limited financial, operating and marketing resources, seeking

to combine with larger companies that can

provide growth opportunities.

This consolidation also may continue to result in distributors seeking

to acquire

companies that can enhance their current product and service offerings or provide

opportunities to serve a broader

customer base.

Our trend with regard to acquisitions and joint ventures has been to expand

our role as a provider of products and

services to the health care industry.

This trend has resulted in our expansion into service areas that complement

our

existing operations and provide opportunities for us to develop synergies with, and

thus strengthen, the acquired

businesses.

As industry consolidation continues, we believe that we are positioned

to capitalize on this trend, as we believe we

have the ability to support increased sales through our existing infrastructure, although

there can be no assurances

that we will be able to successfully accomplish this.

We also have invested in expanding our sales/marketing

infrastructure to include a focus on building relationships with decision

makers who do not reside in the office-

based practitioner setting.

As the health care industry continues to change, we continually evaluate

possible candidates for joint venture or

acquisition and intend to continue to seek opportunities to expand our

role as a provider of products and services to

the health care industry.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully pursue

any such

opportunity or consummate any such transaction, if pursued.

If additional transactions are entered into or

consummated, we would incur merger and/or acquisition-related costs, and

there can be no assurance that the

integration efforts associated with any such transaction would be successful.

Aging Population and Other Market Influences

The health care products distribution industry continues to experience growth

due to the aging population,

increased health care awareness, the proliferation of medical technology

and testing, new pharmacology treatments,

and expanded third-party insurance coverage, partially offset by the effects of unemployment on insurance

coverage.

In addition, the physician market continues to benefit from

the shift of procedures and diagnostic testing

from acute care settings to alternate-care sites, particularly physicians’

offices.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Database, in 2022 there are approximately seven million

Americans aged 85 years or older, the segment of the population most in need of long-term care

and elder-care

services.

By the year 2050, that number is projected to nearly triple to approximately

19 million.

The population

aged 65 to 84 years is projected to increase by approximately 27% during

the same period.

As a result of these market dynamics, annual expenditures for health

care services continue to increase in the

United States.

We believe that demand for our products and services will grow while continuing to be impacted by

current and future operating, economic, and industry conditions.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,

or CMS, published “National Health Expenditure Data” indicating

that total national health care spending reached

approximately $4.1 trillion in 2020, or 19.7% of the nation’s gross domestic product, the benchmark

measure for

annual production of goods and services in the United

States.

Health care spending is projected to reach

approximately $6.2 trillion in 2028, approximately 19.7% of the

nation’s projected gross domestic product.

The

latest projections begin after the latest historical year (2020) and go through

Government

Certain of our businesses involve the distribution, manufacturing,

importation, exportation, marketing and sale of,

and/or third party payment for, pharmaceuticals and/or medical devices, and in this regard, we

are subject to

extensive local, state, federal and foreign governmental laws and regulations,

including as applicable to our

wholesale distribution of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, manufacturing

activities, and as part of our

specialty home medical supply business that distributes and sells medical equipment

and supplies directly to

patients.

The federal government and state governments have also increased

enforcement activity in the health care

sector, particularly in areas of fraud and abuse, anti-bribery and corruption, controlled substances handling,

medical

device regulations and data privacy and security standards.

In addition, certain of our businesses must operate in compliance with

a variety of burdensome and complex billing

and record-keeping requirements in order to substantiate claims for payment under

federal, state and commercial

healthcare reimbursement programs.

One of these businesses was recently suspended by CMS from

receiving

payments from Medicare, although it is permitted to continue to perform

and bill for Medicare services.

The

amounts billed are being deposited in an escrow account pending resolution

of an audit.

We have not recognized

revenue for these services and have currently deferred $13 million in revenue

(including $8 million deferred during

the six months ended June 25, 2022 and $5 million deferred during

the three months ended December 25, 2021).

Government and private insurance programs fund a large portion of the total cost of medical

care, and there have

been efforts to limit such private and government insurance programs, including efforts,

thus far unsuccessful, to

seek repeal of the entire United States Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,

as amended by the Health Care

and Education Reconciliation Act, each enacted in March 2010, (as amended,

the “ACA”).

In addition, activities to

control medical costs, including laws and regulations lowering reimbursement

rates for pharmaceuticals, medical

devices and/or medical treatments or services, are ongoing.

Many of these laws and regulations are subject to

change and their evolving implementation may impact our operations and

our financial performance.

Our businesses are generally subject to numerous laws and regulations that could

impact our financial performance,

and failure to comply with such laws or regulations could have a

material adverse effect on our business.

A more detailed discussion of governmental laws and regulations

is included in Management’s Discussion &

Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in our

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the

fiscal year ended December 25, 2021, filed with the SEC on February

15, 2022.

Plans of Restructuring

On November 20, 2019, we committed to a contemplated restructuring

initiative intended to mitigate stranded costs

associated with the spin-off of our animal health business and to rationalize operations

and to provide expense

efficiencies.

These restructuring activities were completed in 2021.

During the three and six months ended June 26, 2021, we recorded

restructuring costs of $1 million and $4 million,

respectively.

As of June 25, 2022 and December 25, 2021, the remaining

accrued balance for restructuring costs

was $1 million and $4 million, respectively.

On August 1, 2022, we committed to a restructuring plan focused on

funding the priorities of the strategic plan and

streamlining operations and other initiatives to increase efficiency.

We expect to record restructuring charges in

2022 and 2023, however an estimate of the amount of these charges has not yet been

determined.

Any restructuring

charges are expected primarily to include severance pay and facility-related costs.

The expense savings realized

from this plan are expected to mainly affect 2023 and beyond.

The 2.1% increase in net sales includes an increase of 4.5% in local currency

sales (2.4% increase in internally

generated sales and 2.1% growth from acquisitions) partially offset by a decrease

of 2.4% related to foreign

currency exchange.

We estimate that sales of PPE and COVID-19 related products were approximately $259

million, a decrease of 28.8%

versus the prior year.

Excluding PPE and COVID-19 related products, the estimated

increase in internally generated local currency sales was 6.7%.

The 3.1% decrease in dental net sales includes an increase of 0.4% in local

currency sales (0.3% decrease in

internally generated sales and 0.7% growth from acquisitions) offset by a decrease

of 3.5% related to foreign

currency exchange.

The 0.4% increase in local currency sales was attributable to a decrease in dental

consumable

merchandise sales of 1.3% (2.2% decrease in internally generated

sales and 0.9% growth from acquisitions) and an

increase in dental equipment and service sales of 7.0%,

all of which was attributable to growth in internally

generated sales.

Our sales growth in dental merchandise was lower than our sales

growth in dental equipment

during the three months ended June 25, 2022 due to lower patient traffic related to

an increase in patient

appointment cancellations compared to the comparable prior-year period as well as

a decrease in PPE sales.

Dental

equipment sales increased in both our North American and international

markets, which is primarily attributable to

increased demand and strong order backlog.

We estimate that our dental business recorded sales of approximately

$114 million of PPE and COVID-19 related products, an estimated decrease of 37.2%

versus the prior year.

Excluding PPE and COVID-19 related products, the estimated increase in

internally generated local currency dental

sales was 3.5%.

The 10.3% increase in medical net sales includes an increase of 10.6%

in local currency sales (6.7% increase in

internally generated sales and 3.9% growth from acquisitions), partially offset by

a decrease of 0.3% related to

foreign currency exchange.

We estimate that our medical business recorded sales of approximately $145 million of

PPE and COVID-19 related products for the three months ended June 25, 2022,

an estimated decrease of 20.4%

compared to the prior year.

Excluding sales of PPE and COVID-19 related products,

the estimated increase in

internally generated local currency medical sales was 13.6%.

The 18.1% increase in technology and value-added services net sales includes

an increase of 19.6%

in local

currency sales (10.8% increase in internally generated sales and 8.8%

growth from acquisitions) partially offset by

a decrease of 1.5% related to foreign currency exchange.

During the quarter ended June 25, 2022, the trend for

transactional software sales improved compared to the prior year, as we increased the number of users,

generating

demand for our sales cycle management solutions, and also

from cloud-based solutions that drive practice

efficiency and patient engagement.

As a result of different practices of categorizing costs associated with distribution networks

throughout our

industry, our gross margins may not necessarily be comparable to other distribution companies.

Additionally, we

realize substantially higher gross margin percentages in our technology and value-added services

segment than in

our health care distribution segment.

These higher gross margins result from being both the developer and seller of

software products and services, as well as certain financial services.

The software industry typically realizes higher

gross margins to recover investments in development.

Within our health care distribution segment, gross profit margins may vary from one period to the next.

Changes in

the mix of products sold as well as changes in our customer mix have been

the most significant drivers affecting

our gross profit margin.

For example, sales of our private label products achieve

gross profit margins that are

higher than average total gross profit margins of all products.

With respect to customer mix, sales to our large-

group customers are typically completed at lower gross margins due to the higher

volumes sold as opposed to the

gross margin on sales to office-based practitioners, who normally purchase lower volumes at

greater frequencies.

Health care distribution gross profit increased $40 million, or 5.2%, primarily

due to the increase in net sales

discussed above.

The overall increase in our health care distribution gross profit

includes a $34 million increase in

the gross margin rates due to product mix and supplier rebates and $18 million additional

gross profit from

acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease of $12 million from internally generated

operations.

Technology and value-added services gross profit increased $14 million, or 13.0%, due to an $11 million increase

in internally generated sales and $5 million additional gross profit from acquisitions,

partially offset by a decrease

of $2 million from gross margin rates due to product mix.

Technology and value-added services gross profit

margin decreased to 65.9% from 68.9% primarily due to our continued investment

in product development and

customer service.

The $33 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses within

our health care distribution segment

was attributable to an increase of $18 million of operating costs and an increase

of $17 million of additional costs

from acquired companies, partially offset by a decrease of $1 million in restructuring costs.

The $11 million

increase in selling, general and administrative expenses within our technology

and value-added services segment

was attributable to an increase of $6 million of operating costs and an

increase of $5 million of additional costs

from acquired companies.

As a component of total selling, general and administrative expenses,

selling expenses increased $22 million, or

5.4% to $433 million primarily due to an increase in payroll and payroll

related costs and travel and convention

expenses.

As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses increased to 14.3%

from 13.8%.

As a component of total selling, general and administrative expenses, general

and administrative expenses

increased $22 million, or 8.5% to $292 million primarily due to an increase

The 5.4% increase in net sales includes an increase of 7.3% in local currency

revenue (5.0% increase in internally

generated revenue and 2.3% growth from acquisitions) partially offset by a decrease of

1.9% related to foreign

currency exchange.

We estimate that sales for the six months ended June 25, 2022 of PPE and COVID-19 related

products were approximately $747 million, an estimated decrease of 10.1%

versus the prior year.

Excluding PPE

and COVID-19 related products, the estimated increase in internally generated

local

currency sales was 7.5%.

The 0.5% decrease in dental net sales includes an increase of 2.3% in

local currency revenue (1.6% increase in

internally generated revenue and 0.7% growth from acquisitions) partially

offset by a decrease of 2.8% related to

foreign currency exchange.

The 2.3% increase in local currency sales was attributable to an increase in dental

consumable merchandise revenue of 0.5% (0.5% decrease in internally generated

revenue and 1.0% growth from

acquisitions), and an increase in dental equipment sales and service revenues

of 9.4% (9.3% increase in internally

generated revenue and 0.1% growth from acquisitions).

Our sales growth in dental merchandise was lower than our

sales growth in dental equipment during the three months ended June 25,

2022 due to lower patient traffic

compared to the comparable prior-year period as well as a decrease in PPE sales.

Dental equipment sales increased

in both our North American and international markets, which

is primarily attributable to increased demand and

strong order backlog.

We estimate that global dental sales for the six months ended June 25, 2022 of PPE and

COVID-19 related products were approximately $258 million,

an estimated decrease of 26.6% versus the prior

year.

Excluding PPE and COVID-19 related products, the estimated

increase in internally generated local currency

dental sales was 4.4%.

The 14.5% increase in medical net sales is attributable to an increase of

14.7% in local currency growth (10.9%

increase in internally generated revenue and 3.8% growth from acquisitions)

partially offset by a decrease of 0.2%

related to foreign currency exchange.

Globally, we estimate our medical business recorded sales of approximately

$489 million sales of such PPE and other COVID-19 related products

for the six months ended June 25, 2022, an

increase of approximately 1.9%

compared to the prior year.

Excluding PPE and COVID-19 related products, the

estimated increase in internally generated local currency medical sales

was 14.1%.

The 20.7% increase in technology and value-added services net sales

is attributable to an increase of 21.8% in local

currency revenue (11.0% increase in internally generated revenue and 10.8% growth from acquisitions) partially

offset by a decrease of 1.1% related to foreign currency exchange.

During the six months ended June 25, 2022, the

Health care distribution gross profit increased $108 million, or 6.9% primarily

due to the increase in net sales

discussed above.

In addition, health care distribution gross profit margin benefitted from supplier

rebates due to

increased purchase volumes compared to the comparable prior-year period.

The overall increase in our health care

distribution gross profit is attributable to a $46 million increase in gross profit

due to the increase in the gross

margin rates, $37 million additional gross profit from acquisitions and $25 million

increase in internally generated

revenue.

Technology and value-added services gross profit increased $28 million, or 13.4%, attributable to an increase of

$20 million in internally generated revenue and $14 million additional

gross profit from acquisitions,

partially

offset by a $6 million decrease in gross margin rates.

Technology and value-added services gross profit margin

decreased to 65.4% from 69.6% primarily due to lower gross margins of recently

acquired companies in the

business services sector and our continued investment in product

development and customer service.

expenses increased $79 million, or

10.0% to $875 million, primarily due to an increase in payroll and payroll related

costs and travel and convention

expenses.

As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses increased to 14.1%

from 13.5%.

As a component of total selling, general and administrative expenses, general

and administrative expenses

increased $33 million, or 6.1% to $579 million, primarily due to an increase

in payroll and payroll related costs and

travel and convention expenses.

As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses

remained

consistent at 9.3%.

Interest income increased $2 million and interest expense increased

Income Taxes

For the six months ended June 25, 2022, our effective tax rate was 23.9% compared

to 24.3% for the prior year

period.

The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for

the six months ended

June 25, 2022 primarily relates to state and foreign income taxes and interest

expense as well as share-based

compensation.

The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the six months

ended June 26, 2021, was primarily due to state and foreign income taxes,

interest expense and tax charges and

credits associated with legal entity reorganizations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal capital requirements have included funding of acquisitions, purchases

of additional noncontrolling

interests, repayments of debt principal, the funding of working capital needs,

purchases of fixed assets and

repurchases of common stock (which had been temporarily suspended

in April 2020, but were resumed in early

March 2021).

Working capital requirements generally result from increased sales, special inventory forward buy-in

opportunities and payment terms for receivables and payables.

Historically, sales have tended to be stronger during

the second half of the year and special inventory forward buy-in opportunities

have been most prevalent just before

the end of the year, and have caused our working capital requirements to be higher from the end of the

third quarter

to the end of the first quarter of the following year.

We finance our business primarily through cash generated from our operations, revolving credit facilities and debt

placements.

Please see

Note 7 – Debt

for further information.

Our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from

operations is dependent on the continued demand of our customers for

our products and services, and access to

products and services from our suppliers.

Our business requires a substantial investment in working capital, which

is susceptible to fluctuations during the

year as a result of inventory purchase patterns and seasonal demands.

Inventory purchase activity is a function of

sales activity, special inventory forward buy-in opportunities and our desired level of inventory.

We anticipate

future increases in our working capital requirements.

We finance our business to provide adequate funding for at least 12 months.

Funding requirements are based on

forecasted profitability and working capital needs, which, on occasion, may

change.

Consequently, we may change

our funding structure to reflect any new requirements.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, our ability to access private debt markets and public equity markets,

and our available funds under existing credit facilities provide us with

sufficient liquidity to meet our currently

foreseeable short-term and long-term capital needs.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $250 million for the

six months ended June 25, 2022, compared to

net cash provided by operating activities of $222 million for the comparable

prior year period.

The net change of

$28 million was primarily attributable to higher net income and increased

working capital, specifically a decrease in

inventory levels of PPE and COVID-19 related products.

These working capital increases were partially offset by

reduced accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities was $59 million for the six

months ended June 25, 2022, compared to $341

million for the comparable prior year period.

The net change of $282 million was primarily attributable to

decreased payments for equity investments and business acquisitions.

Net cash used in financing activities was $195 million for the

six months ended June 25, 2022, compared to net

cash used in financing activities of $139 million for the comparable

prior year period.

The net change of $56

million was primarily due to reduced net borrowings from debt, partially

offset by decreased repurchases of

common stock.

Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances and investments

in money market funds representing

overnight investments with a high degree of liquidity.

Accounts receivable days sales outstanding and inventory turns

Our accounts receivable days sales outstanding from operations decreased

to 42.2 days as of June 25, 2022 from

42.3 days as of June 26, 2021.

During the six months ended June 25, 2022, we wrote off approximately $4

million

of fully reserved accounts receivable against our trade receivable reserve.

Our inventory turns from operations

decreased to 4.6 as of June 25, 2022 from 5.1 as of June 26, 2021.

Our working capital accounts may be impacted

by current and future economic conditions.

Leases

We have operating and finance leases for corporate offices, office space, distribution and other facilities, vehicles,

and certain equipment.

Our leases have remaining terms of less than one year to

approximately 19 years, some of

which may include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years.

As of June 25, 2022, our right-of-use assets

related to operating leases were $327 million and our current and non-current

operating lease liabilities were $74

million and $276 million, respectively.

Stock Repurchases

From March 3, 2003 through June 25, 2022, we repurchased $4.1 billion,

or 82,414,390 shares, under our common

stock repurchase programs, with $90 million available as of June 25, 2022

for future common stock share

repurchases.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including

our principal executive officer and

principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and

procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report as such

term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)

and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Based

on this evaluation, our management, including our principal executive

officer and principal financial officer,

concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 25, 2022,

to ensure that all material

information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit

under the Exchange Act is accumulated

and communicated to them as appropriate to allow timely decisions

regarding required disclosure and that all such

information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the

time periods specified in the SEC’s rules

and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The continued acquisition integrations and systems implementation activity

carried over from prior quarters when

considered in the aggregate, represents a material change in our

internal control over financial reporting.

During the quarter ended June 25, 2022, post-acquisition integration

related activities continued for our dental and

medical businesses acquired during prior quarters.

These acquisitions, the majority of which utilize separate

information and financial accounting systems, have been included

in our condensed consolidated financial

statements since their respective dates of acquisition.

Additionally, we continued systems implementation activities

related to the upgrade of the warehouse management system

for our Australian dental business.

All continued acquisition integrations and systems implementation activity

involve necessary and appropriate

change-management controls that are considered in our quarterly assessment of

the design and operating

effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide

only reasonable, not absolute, assurance

that the objectives of the internal control system are met.

Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control

system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that

all control issues, if any, within a company

have been detected.

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Purchases of equity securities by the issuer

Our share repurchase program announced on March 3, 2003

, originally allowed us to repurchase up to two million

shares pre-stock splits (eight million shares post-stock splits) of our common

stock, which represented

approximately 2.3% of the shares outstanding at the commencement of

the program.

Subsequent additional

increases totaling $4.1 billion, authorized by our Board of Directors,

to the repurchase program provide for a total

of $4.2 billion of shares of our common stock to be repurchased under this

program.

As of June 25, 2022, we had repurchased approximately $4.1 billion

of common stock (82,414,390 shares) under

these initiatives, with $90 million available for future common stock

share repurchases.

The following table summarizes repurchases of our common stock

under our stock repurchase program during the
