Tailwinds

- Guidance for 2021 non-GAAP diluted EPS attributable to Henry Schein, Inc. is for current continuing operations as well as completed or previously announced acquisitions.

Headwinds
- The Company is not providing guidance for 2021 GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations as it is unable to provide an accurate estimate of expenses related to an ongoing restructuring initiative in 2021.
- Guidance does not assume any material market changes associated with COVID-19.
- Reconciliation to the Company’s projected 2021 diluted EPS from continuing operations prepared on a GAAP basis is not provided because the Company is unable to provide without unreasonable effort an estimate of costs related to an ongoing restructuring program.

- Management does not believe these items are representative of the Company’s underlying business performance.
