10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec 28, 2024
Filed Feb 25, 2025 · Read the filing on EDGAR
- Sales rose 2.7% to $12.7 billion thanks to acquisitions, while operating income held near $621 million and net income fell about 6% to $390 million.
- Excluding acquisitions and currency, sales slipped 0.4%, as customers moved to cheaper products and some occasional buyers did not return after the 2023 cyberattack.
- Operating cash flow jumped to $848 million from $500 million, and the auditor now says internal controls are effective, after last year's material weakness finding.
- KKR agreed to invest another $250 million, reaching a 12% stake with two board seats, and the board authorized $500 million more in share buybacks.
Business momentum
Mixed
“Global net sales for the year ended December 28, 2024 increased 2.7%.”
Outlook
Neutral
“We believe that demand for our products and services will grow while continuing to be impacted by current and future operating, economic, and industry conditions.”
Financial stress
Low
“Net cash provided by operating activities was $848 million for the year ended December 28, 2024, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $500 million for the prior year.”
Tone against the previous report

Red flags
None found in this report.
Positives
Much stronger operating cash flow
“Net cash provided by operating activities was $848 million for the year ended December 28, 2024, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $500 million for the prior year.”
Auditor now says internal controls are effective
“In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2024, based on the COSO criteria.”
New $250 million investment from KKR
“In addition to KKR’s current holdings, KKR will make an additional $250 million investment in the Company’s common stock.”
Concerns
Sales growth came from acquisitions, not the existing business
“The 0.4% decrease in our internally generated local currency sales was primarily attributable to the migration to lower priced products and the challenging economic environment in certain markets and lower sales of PPE products and COVID-19 test kits.”
Some customers have not returned since the cyberattack
“During the year ended December 28, 2024, we had a sales decrease in our dental and medical distribution businesses, which we believe was primarily a result of lower sales to episodic customers following last year’s cyber incident.”
Higher interest costs reduced profit
“Interest expense increased primarily due to increased borrowings and increased interest rates.”
New risks since the previous report
KKR's large stake could create uncertainty and conflicts
“KKR also invests in many different types of businesses, and has or may continue to invest in customers, suppliers, joint venture partners, or other entities that have relationships with the Company, or in competitors of such entities, which may create unintended conflicts resulting in a loss of business.”
Activist investors could distract management and raise costs
Generative AI could expose company data and harm its reputation
“Additionally, widely assessable generative AI that rapidly surpasses our organizational ability to understand associated risks and opportunities (including employees’ failure to comply with policies governing AI usage) could endanger our intellectual property, lead to misuse of data and cause reputational harm.”
Dependence on a CEO whose contract ends in 2025
“In November 2022, Mr. Bergman’s employment agreement was extended through December 31, 2025.”
Biggest risks named
- Cyberattacks, data breaches and related claims
- Acquisition integration and restructuring execution
- Competition, consolidation, buying groups and online sellers
- Health care regulation, fraud enforcement and privacy laws
- Supplier dependence and supply disruption

How these scores work
An AI model reads the management discussion, risk factors and legal sections of each report and records what they say, quoting the filing word for word. Fixed rules then turn those findings into a score from 0 to 100, where 60 means nothing notable either way. A score describes the report, not whether the stock is a good investment, and the AI may know how things turned out later, which can colour older scores. Read the methodology
