The International Dental Show (IDS) helped push Henry Schein's 2013 second-quarter financials to new heights.
Net sales for the second quarter of 2013 (end-June 29) were $2.4 billion, an increase of 8.6% compared with the second quarter of 2012. Net income for the quarter was $108.4 million, up 8.1% compared with the same period in 2012. Global Dental sales of $1.3 billion increased 6.2%.
The second quarter sales growth and share gains were enhanced by the timing of the IDS dental trade show and the spring holidays, noted Stanley Bergman, chairman and CEO, in a press release.
For the first half of 2013, net sales of $4.7 billion increased 8.9% compared with the first half of 2012.
