Total net sales for the quarter ended Sept. 25.
“We believe that patient traffic was generally similar to the previous quarter for our dental customers and is improving for our medical customers,” said Stanley Bergman, chair of the board and CEO of Henry Schein.
“North America dental equipment sales growth reflected strong sales of high-technology equipment and modest growth of traditional equipment sales which remain impacted by equipment manufacturing and office construction delays,” Mr. Bergman said, noting that overall gains in consumable merchandise and equipment sales reflect the continuing recovery of underlying markets.
