**Medline Reports First Quarter 2026 Results**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Net sales of $7.4 billion, an increase of 10.7%**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Net income of $239 million, a decrease of 25.8%**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Adjusted EBITDA**<sup>1</sup> **of $776 million, a decrease of 10.6%**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Raising full year 2026 Organic Sales**<sup>2</sup> **guidance range to 8.5% to 9.5%**

NORTHFIELD, Ill., May. 6, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medline Inc. ("Medline" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: MDLN), the largest provider of medical-surgical ("med-surg") products and supply chain solutions serving all points of care<sup>3</sup>, today reported its operating results for the three months ended March 28, 2026.

"We started 2026 with strong momentum—growing with our existing customers, executing implementations at scale and winning new customers," said Jim Boyle, chief executive officer of Medline. "This performance gives us confidence to raise our full year Organic Sales guidance while continuing disciplined investments in our people, infrastructure and capabilities to support our strong customer demand and position Medline for sustained growth."

**First Quarter 2026 Results**

First quarter 2026 net sales increased 10.7% to $7.4 billion, compared to $6.6 billion in the first quarter 2025, with Organic Sales¹ increasing 10.1%. This was primarily driven by implementation of new customer signings from 2025 and existing customer growth.

First quarter 2026 net income decreased 25.8% to $239 million, compared to $322 million in the first quarter 2025, primarily driven by higher costs of goods sold including the impact of tariffs, higher operating expenses to support new customer growth and an employee bonus related to the Company's IPO. This was partially offset by higher net sales and lower interest expense.

First quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA¹ decreased 10.6% to $776 million, compared to $868 million in the first quarter 2025, primarily driven by higher costs of goods sold including the impact of tariffs and higher operating expenses to support new customer growth, partially offset by higher net sales.

Diluted earnings per share and Adjusted Diluted EPS¹ were $0.16 and $0.33, respectively.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter 2026 was $412 million, driven by net income, excluding the impact of non-cash items, partially offset by changes in working capital primarily due to increased trade accounts receivable related to sales growth and increased inventories.

Free Cash Flow¹ in the first quarter 2026 was $316 million, driven by net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by capital expenditures, primarily related to continued enhancements and automation in the Company's distribution centers and investments in its kitting manufacturing facilities.

------

**2026 Guidance**

The Company is increasing its full year 2026 outlook for Organic Sales<sup>2</sup> growth to 8.5% to 9.5%, compared to its previous outlook of 8% to 9%**,** and is maintaining its Adjusted EBITDA<sup>2</sup> outlook of $3.5 to $3.6 billion.

**Webcast and Conference Call Instructions**

The Company will host a live conference call and question and answer session with investors and analysts on May 6, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. CT / 9:30 a.m. ET to discuss its first quarter 2026 earnings results. The webcast can be accessed through Medline's Investor Relations website at ir.medline.com. A replay of the call will be available following the event through the same website.

**End Notes and Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

Certain amounts and percentages presented in this press release have a rounding element. As a result, the sum of the components may not equal the totals due to rounding. 

<sup>(1)</sup> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Organic Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, and Net Leverage are non-GAAP financial measures. See discussion of these measures and reconciliations to GAAP at the end of this press release for more information.

<sup>(2)</sup> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Organic Sales is provided on a non-GAAP basis only because certain information necessary to calculate the most comparable GAAP measure is unavailable due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the future financial statement impact of such items impacting comparability, including, but not limited to, inventory-related adjustments, stock-based compensation, litigation (gains) charges, net, transaction-related costs, the impact of currency, and other non-core (gains) charges, among other items. Therefore, as a result of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of future adjustments, which could be significant, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort.

<sup>(3)</sup> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based on our 2025 net sales relative to the publicly reported net sales of med-surg products by companies that are both med-surg manufacturers and distributors.

**Forward Looking Statements**

This press release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. Words such as "anticipate," "assume," "believe" "contemplate," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "foreseeable," "intend," "may," "plan," "potentially," "predict," "project," "seek," "should," "will," or "would," or similar conditional or future expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to the Company's industry, business strategy, costs, and cost savings, goals and expectations, market position, future operations, margins, profitability, annual guidance, and other financial and operating information. The forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to various risks, uncertainties, and changes in circumstances, many of which are beyond the Company's control, that could cause actual results to differ materially.

------

Factors that may cause actual results to differ from expected results include, but are not limited to inherent risks in the Company's global operations; the Company's ability to derive fully the anticipated benefits from its existing or future acquisitions, joint ventures, investments, dispositions, or other strategic transactions; consolidation in the healthcare industry; competition and accelerating pricing pressure and changes in technology; changes to the U.S. and global healthcare environments; increases in shipping costs or service issues with the Company's third-party shippers; significant challenges or delays in the Company's sourcing of new products and technologies; the Company's concentration in and dependence on certain healthcare provider customers and Group Purchasing Organizations; the Company's dependence on the proper functioning of its critical facilities and distribution networks; quality problems, recalls and product liability claims; the Company's failure to establish and maintain Prime Vendor relationships; increased pressure to maintain or decrease the price of the Company's goods and services; failure by or loss of a third-party manufacturer or supplier or other manufacturing or supply-related impacts; the Company's reliance on the proper function, security, and availability of its information technology systems and data, as well as those of third parties throughout its global supply chain and the impact of a breach, cyber-attack, or other disruption to these systems or data; the Company's ability to comply with extensive and complex laws and governmental regulations and the cost of any adverse regulatory action; the Company's use or its third-party service providers' or business partners' use of artificial intelligence, automated decision-making and machine learning technologies and the evolving regulatory framework in this area; the Company's ability to comply with laws and regulations relating to reimbursement of healthcare goods and services; uncertain global and domestic macro-economic and political conditions, including as a result of global geopolitical conflicts and tensions, such as the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East; the Company's substantial indebtedness and the significant operating and financial restrictions on the Company's subsidiaries imposed by the Company's debt agreements; the dual class structure of the Company's common stock; the volatility of the market price of the Company's Class A common stock; and other factors.

The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update, revise, or withdraw any forward-looking statement in this press release, except as required by applicable law or regulation.

The Company uses its investor relations website at ir.medline.com, press releases, public conference calls and webcasts, and social media as routine channels of distribution to communicate important, and often material, information about Medline to investors and the public, including information about its financial performance and results, analyst and investor presentations, investor days, products, solutions, sustainability initiatives, and corporate governance practices. You are encouraged to follow these channels, in addition to our SEC filings, for timely information about the Company. The information on the Company's websites is not part of this press release and is not incorporated by reference into any filings the Company makes with the SEC.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

The non-GAAP financial measures provided in this press release should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

To supplement the financial information provided, the Company has presented Organic Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, and Net Leverage, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way. These measures are not substitutes for their comparable GAAP financial measures, such as net income/(loss), net income margin, diluted earnings per share, net cash from operating activities, net sales, or other measures prescribed by GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures.

------

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assist in comparing the Company's performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company's ongoing operating performance. The Company believes Organic Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS provide important comparability of ongoing operating performance, allowing investors and management to assess the Company's operating performance on a consistent basis. The Company believes Free Cash Flow and Net Leverage provide a measure of the Company's core operating performance, the cash-generating capabilities of the Company's business operations, and are factors used in determining the Company's borrowing capacity and the amount of cash available for debt repayments, acquisitions, and other corporate purposes.

Management believes that presenting the Company's non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it (i) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, (ii) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating the Company's results. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provides investors with additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company's business than could be obtained absent these disclosures.

**Definitions**

***<u>Organic Sales</u>*** is defined as net sales excluding, when they occur, the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and changes in foreign exchange rates from the net sales changes. The changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the net sales changes are calculated by translating current period GAAP results at the prior period foreign currency exchange rates and comparing these amounts to the current period GAAP results at the current period foreign currency exchange rates.

***<u>Adjusted EBITDA</u>*** is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) inventory-related adjustments, (v) stock-based compensation, (vi) litigation (gains) charges, net, (vii) transaction-related costs, and (viii) other non-core (gains) charges. ***<u>Adjusted EBITDA Margin</u>*** is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

***<u>Adjusted Net Income</u>*** is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for (i) intangible asset amortization, (ii) inventory-related adjustments, (iii) stock-based compensation, (iv) litigation (gains) charges, net, (v) transaction-related costs, (vi) other non-core (gains) charges, and (vii) tax impacts related to non-GAAP adjustments, noncontrolling interests conversion, and retained tax receivable agreement ("TRA") benefits. ***<u>Adjusted Diluted EPS</u>*** is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by adjusted weighted-average number of common stock, diluted. The adjusted weighted shares calculation assumes the impact of certain antidilutive securities that were excluded from the U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share.

***<u>Free Cash Flow</u>*** is defined as net cash provided by/(used for) operating activities less net capital expenditures. The use of this non-GAAP measure does not imply or represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.

***<u>Net Leverage</u>*** is defined as net debt (total debt less cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments) divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
