Our Purpose, Life Takes Care™, defines who we are, what we do, and the impact we want to make.

We believe healthcare is essential to building a more sustainable future. As global populations continue to grow and age, the need for accessible, high-quality care is becoming more important.

At Owens & Minor ("O&M"), we're proud to help meet that need by producing and distributing essential healthcare products through our Products & Healthcare Services segment, and by providing personalized in-home healthcare solutions through our Patient Direct segment.

This marks the fifth year of the Owens & Minor Impact Report, and I want to take a moment to reflect on how far we've come.

When we published our first report, we focused on creating a strong Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") framework based on transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement, and establishing baselines for our company goals. Over the past four years, we've improved our data collection and reporting, and refined our approach to align more closely with industry best practices and stakeholder expectations.

As our program has evolved, we've made meaningful progress in reducing our environmental impact, building a culture of belonging, and enhancing governance practices that ensure we continue to lead with integrity.

In planning for the future, we will continue to drive improvements while meeting the ever-changing needs of healthcare. Real change takes time, and real progress happens when we work together. Our focus on compassionate, efficient, and ettective healthcare helps support healthier communities that are more resilient and better equipped for the future. True to our Mission - Empowering Our Customers to Advance Healthcare® - our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and ethical practices drives us to create healthcare solutions that will provide lasting value for generations to come.

Thank you to our customers, patients, teammates, and stakeholders for being part of this journey. I'm excited about what's ahead and confident that together, we will continue to make a meaningful impact.

Take Care,
