Henry Schein10-Q: Cash flow concern

Operating cash flow swings to a negative $97M, a $134M YoY decrease

What happened

The company's operating cash flow deteriorated significantly, moving from a $37M inflow last year to a $97M outflow this quarter. This $134M negative swing, driven by working capital issues, creates a strong pain point and executive-level urgency to find solutions that improve financial efficiency and cash management.
