With the recent Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act, we are prepared to take advantage of the opportunities of expanded care and will work with our customers to meet the challenges of pressured reimbursement and limited capacity. During the quarter, we made progress in integrating acquisitions and building the leadership teams in our four focused business verticals – Physician, Laboratory, Dispensing and Home Care & Hospice – while driving robust top-line revenue growth across all four verticals. Our team members have embraced this transformation and are demonstrating tremendous commitment to serving caregivers and winning in the marketplace."

Net sales for the three months ended June 29, 2012 were $409.4 million, an increase of 7.6%, compared with net sales of $380.5 million for the three months ended July 1, 2011. Net sales for the three months ended June 29, 2012 increased by 7.3%, for the Physician business (including Laboratory), increased by 14.8% for the Dispensing business, and increased by 6.3% for the Home Care & Hospice business. Income from operations for the three months ended June 29, 2012 was $21.3 million, compared with income from operations of $20.0 million for the three months ended July 1, 2011.

Consolidated Results

Net income attributable to PSS World Medical, Inc. for the three months ended June 29, 2012 was $10.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with net income of $14.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the three months ended July 1, 2011.

David M. Bronson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Traction in our core business strategies, combined with the impact from recent acquisitions, led to much-improved revenue growth in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2013. Our Physician business, including Laboratory, grew by 4.6%, excluding current year M&A. Gross margins in continuing operations improved by 105 basis points from the prior year, driven by a continued focus on growth of our private label product sales, which increased by over 10%. Consolidated cash flow from operations of just under $23 million for the first quarter helped to fund our acquisition activities and the repurchase of 370,000 shares. The process of divesting our Specialty Dental and Skilled Nursing businesses is proceeding according to expectations."
