Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE:OMI)today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011, including quarterly revenue of $2.20 billion, an increase of 6.1% when compared to revenue of $2.07 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $23.9 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $21.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the comparable period of 2010.
Financial results for the fourth quarter of 2011 included previously discussed exit and realignment costs of $12.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. For purposes of comparison, fourth quarter 2010 financial results included a pension settlement charge of $19.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, resulting from the company's termination of its defined benefit pension plan.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, operating earnings were $43.0 million, or 1.96% of revenues, an improvement compared to $39.3 million, or 1.90% of revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2010. Excluding the impact of the fourth quarter 2011 exit and realignment costs and the fourth quarter 2010 pension settlement charge, quarterly operating earnings would have been 2.54% and 2.84% of revenues, respectively.
2011 Annual Results
For the year ended December 31, 2011, revenue was $8.63 billion, increased 6.2% from revenue of $8.12 billion in 2010. Net income for 2011 was $115.2 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, improved when compared to $110.6 million, or $1.75 per diluted share, for 2010. Excluding the negative impact of the fourth quarter 2011 exit and realignment costs of $12.7 million, net income would have been $1.94 per diluted share. For purposes of comparison, net income per diluted share for 2010, excluding the pension settlement charge of $19.6 million, also would have been $1.94. For 2011, operating earnings were $203.5 million, or 2.36% of revenues, compared to operating earnings of $195.9 million, or 2.41% of revenues, for the same period last year. Excluding the impact of the exit and realignment costs in 2011 and the pension settlement charge in 2010, operating margin would have been 2.51% and 2.65% of revenues, respectively.
"The six-percent revenue growth we reported for the year reflects the dedication of our teammates and the relationships they have fostered with our customers," said Craig R. Smith, president & chief executive officer of Owens & Minor. "Despite challenging conditions in the U.S. economy and in healthcare in 2011, we remained focused on serving our customers, improving the supply chain, and developing new markets for our company. The entire team at Owens & Minor demonstrated strength and resilience all year, and all of us are looking forward to 2012 with energy and enthusiasm."
