&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Delivered strong full year 2025 results**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Completed Initial Public Offering**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Introduced full year 2026 guidance**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Fourth quarter net sales of $7.8 billion, an increase of 14.8%**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Fourth quarter net income of $180 million, a decrease of 37.7%**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA**<sup>1</sup> **of $805 million, approximately flat**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Full year net sales of $28.4 billion, an increase of 11.5%**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Full year net income of $1.2 billion, a decrease of 3.6%**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Full year Adjusted EBITDA**<sup>1</sup> **of $3.5 billion, an increase of 3.2%**

**NORTHFIELD, Ill., Feb. 25, 2026** – 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>2</sup>, today reported its operating results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2025.

"We delivered strong fourth quarter results, concluding a successful 2025 with $2.4 billion in total new customer signings<sup>3</sup>," said Jim Boyle, Chief Executive Officer of Medline. "This performance reflects the confidence customers place in our value, service and reliability, and our unique capability to support health systems across the entire continuum of care."

"The quarter also marked a major milestone with the completion of our successful initial public offering. Becoming a public company amplifies our voice and strengthens our foundation by enabling continued investments to drive growth and deliver greater value to customers. We expect our momentum to continue, and with our scale, broad product portfolio, and unmatched distribution footprint, we believe we are well positioned for sustainable long-term growth."

**Fourth Quarter 2025 Results**

Net sales in the fourth quarter 2025 were $7.8 billion, an increase of 14.8%, compared to $6.8 billion in the fourth quarter 2024, with Organic Sales¹ increasing 14.4%. This was primarily driven by increased volumes, with strong growth from both the Medline Brand and Supply Chain Solutions segments.

Fourth quarter 2025 net income was $180 million, a decrease of 37.7%, compared to $289 million in the fourth quarter 2024, driven by higher costs of goods sold due to tariffs and higher operating costs, including investments in headcount and IPO-related expenses, partially offset by higher net sales.

------

Fourth quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $805 million, a decrease of 0.6%, compared to the fourth quarter 2024, driven by higher costs of goods sold due to tariffs and higher operating costs, including investments in headcount, partially offset by higher net sales.

**Full Year 2025 Results**

Net sales for the full year 2025 were $28.4 billion, an increase of 11.5%, compared to $25.5 billion for full year 2024, with Organic Sales¹ increasing 10.5%. This was primarily driven by increased volumes, with strong growth from both the Medline Brand and Supply Chain Solutions segments.

Full year 2025 net income was $1.2 billion, a decrease of 3.6% compared to $1.2 billion for full year 2024, driven by higher costs of goods sold due to tariffs and higher operating costs, including investments in headcount and IPO-related expenses, partially offset by higher net sales.

Full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $3.5 billion, an increase of 3.2%, compared to $3.4 billion for full year 2024, driven by higher net sales, partially offset by higher costs of goods sold due to tariffs and higher operating costs, including investments in headcount.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the full year of 2025 was $1.7 billion, primarily 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 net sales growth, increased inventories including tariff impacts, and a net cash outflow in the second quarter of 2025 related to legal settlements.

Free Cash Flow¹ for the full year of 2025 was $1.3 billion, primarily driven by net cash provided by operating activities, offset by capital expenditures related to continued enhancements and automation in our distribution centers and investments in our kitting manufacturing facilities.

**2026 Guidance**

For full year 2026, the Company expects Organic Sales<sup>4</sup> growth of 8% to 9% and Adjusted EBITDA<sup>4</sup> 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 February 25, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. CT / 9:30 a.m. ET to discuss its fourth quarter and full year 2025 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. 

(1) Organic Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, 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.

(2) 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.

(3) Total new customer signings refers to the estimated annual contract value of all new contracts entered into during a given year by new customers or by existing customers who are expanding their relationship with Medline, excluding renewals and extensions.

(4) 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.

**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 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; inherent risks in the Company's global operations; the Company's ability to comply with extensive and complex laws and governmental regulations and the cost of adverse regulatory actions; the cost of compliance with environmental, health, and safety requirements; the Company's ability to realize the expected benefits from the entry into new or amended contracts, planned cost savings, and business improvement initiatives; consolidation in the healthcare industry; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; increased inflationary pressures; uncertain global macro-economic and political conditions; the impact of government-imposed import policies, tariffs, and legislation; competition and accelerating price pressure in the Company's markets; the Company's ability to comply with anti-bribery laws, anti-corruption laws, and those laws and regulations pertaining to economic sanctions; the Company's ability and the ability of third parties it works with to comply with complex and rapidly evolving data privacy, security, and data protection laws and regulations; the risks of increasing use of artificial intelligence, automated decision-making and machine learning technology; the impact of tax legislation and audits by tax authorities; changes to the U.S. and global healthcare environments; the Company's reliance on third-party manufacturers, certain significant suppliers and third-party shippers; the impact of price fluctuations of key commodities and other factors of production, including labor and transportation, on the Company's manufacturing business; the impact of 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 ability to attract, develop and retain key employees; the Company's reliance on the proper functioning of critical facilities and distribution networks; the cost of litigation brought by third parties claiming infringement, misappropriation, or other violation by the Company of their intellectual property rights; potential requirements to recognize impairment charges related to goodwill, identified intangible assets, and fixed assets; the Company's ability to derive fully the anticipated benefits from the Company's existing or future acquisitions, joint ventures, investments, dispositions, or other strategic transactions; quality problems, recalls, and product liability claims; climate change and legal, regulatory, and market measures to address climate change; the Company's aspirations, goals, and disclosures related to ESG and sustainability matters; the unfavorable outcome of legal proceedings it is involved in; the Company's ability to comply with laws and regulations relating to reimbursement of healthcare goods and services; the Company's ability and the ability of third parties it works with to reduce expenses if the Company experiences decreasing prices for the Company's goods and services; the adequacy of the Company's insurance program to cover future losses; the Company's ability to obtain, maintain, protect, and enforce its intellectual property rights; the Company's dependence on positive perceptions of its reputation; the Company's substantial indebtedness and ability to incur substantially

------

more debt; the Company's exposure to the financial risks associated with interest rate fluctuations on its variable rate debt; restrictive covenants in the Company's debt agreements, which may restrict the Company's ability to pursue its business strategies and its ability to comply with them; 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. For additional information on these and other risks that could affect the Company's forward-looking statements, see the Company's risk factors discussed in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as such risk factors may be updated from time to time.

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, 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, 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, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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>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.
