Henry Schein reports record results for second quarter of 2017

Henry Schein has announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2017, during which the firm delivered a record-breaking performance.

The company's net sales for the quarter ending on July 1st came to $3.1 billion (2.41 billion pounds), which represented a year-on-year increase of 6.5 percent. Dental sales made up $1.5 billion of this total, an 8.4 percent rise.

Henry Schein aims to continue this momentum in the coming months with a new North American distribution agreement with Dentsply Sirona, complementing its existing offerings from suppliers such as 3M, A-dec, Ivoclar Vivadent, Midmark and Planmeca.

Net sales for the first half of 2017 came to $6 billion, an increase of 7.1 percent compared with the first half of 2016, meaning the firm is on track to exceed its record $11.6 billion revenue total from last year.

Stanley Bergman, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Henry Schein, said: "We delivered solid earnings per share growth as we continue to implement our strategy of growing the business organically and through acquisitions."
