Description:
Henry Schein in April said it plans to spin off its animal health business and merge it with Vets First Choice, combining Henry Schein Animal Health’s approximate 4,300 employees with Vets First Choice’s 750 U.S. employees. The newly formed business will have pro forma 2017 sales of approximately $3.6 billion; Schein expects to receive between $1 billion and $1.3 billion in cash on a tax-free basis as part of the transaction, which is expected to close by the end of the year. The company also inked a joint-venture deal with Internet Brands, forming the Henry Schein One practice management business. It’s an amalgamation of Schein’s Practice Solutions and international dental practice management operations and the dental business at Internet Brands that posted pro-forma 2017 sales of approximately $400 million. Unfortunately, the reshaping also includes layoffs and plant closures, although the company has stayed mum on the details, saying only that it expects to log a $45 million to $55 million restructuring charge this year.
