After two straight years of losses, Owens & Minor managed to turn a profit of $37.3 million, or 61¢ per share, during the first nine months of 2020 — even as the major medical products manufacturer and distributor saw its sales shrink –12.8%. “Our financial profile is as strong as it’s been in quite some time, and our focused execution has allowed us to invest in technology and infrastructure while deleveraging the balance sheet. Moreover, the success of our efforts gives us confidence to make additional investments to enhance our customers’ experience and drive further EPS growth. Our strategic capabilities and execution excellence boost our confidence in continued strong performance in 2020, and on-going momentum entering 2021,” CEO Edward A. Pesicka said in a Nov. 2 news release. – CN
