            EPS from continuing operations increase 50% to $0.66
                   Company introduces 2008 EPS guidance





MELVILLE, N.Y. - November 1, 2007 - Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSIC), the
largest provider of healthcare products and services to office-based
practitioners in the combined North American and European markets, today
reported financial results for the quarter ended September 29, 2007.
         Net sales for the third quarter of 2007 were $1.5 billion, an increase
of 20.8% compared with the third quarter of 2006.  This increase includes 18.3%
local currency growth (13.0% internally generated and 5.3% from acquisitions)
and 2.5% related to foreign currency exchange.  (See Exhibit A for details of
sales growth.)
         Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2007 was
$60.7 million or $0.66 per diluted share, up 54.6% and 50.0%, respectively,
compared with the prior year third quarter.  Income from continuing operations
includes a pretax gain related to the disposition of certain assets of $2.4
million or $0.02 per diluted share.
         Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $59.6 million or $0.65 per
diluted share.  Results include a loss from discontinued operations of $1.1
million or $0.01 per diluted share primarily related to the sale of the
company's oncology pharmaceutical business.
          "We are very pleased with our third quarter financial results, which
once again reflect strong double-digit sales growth and market-share gains in
each of our four business groups," said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Henry Schein.  "Our Dental Group continued its trend of
mid-teens growth while our Medical, International and Technology Groups each
posted sales gains well in excess of 20% for the quarter."
         Dental Group sales increased 14.6% during the third quarter, including
13.8% growth in local currencies (10.4% internally generated and 3.4% from
acquisitions) and 0.8% growth related to

foreign currency exchange.  Of the 13.8% local currency growth, Dental
consumable merchandise sales increased 9.9% (6.0% internal growth and 3.9%
acquisition growth) and Dental equipment sales and service revenues were up
25.9% (24.1% internal growth and 1.8% acquisition growth).
         "Our Dental Group reported impressive internal growth in consumable
merchandise and equipment sales and service revenues, with strong gains in both
basic equipment and high-tech products," commented Mr. Bergman.  "Of note, we
have completed the integration of the full-service and special markets
businesses of Becker-Parkin Dental Supply acquired in July, which strengthens
our presence in key geographies."
         Medical Group sales increased 25.0% during the third quarter (22.5%
internal growth and 2.5% acquisition growth).  Excluding sales of influenza
vaccine, Medical Group sales increased 9.0%, with 6.9% internal growth.
         "We are pleased with the strong performance of our Medical Group, which
reflects the positive impact of our Medical One World program as well as the
sale of approximately 7.3 million doses of flu vaccine, among other factors,"
said Mr. Bergman.
         For the quarter, International Group sales increased 25.7%, including
17.4% growth in local currencies (6.9% internally generated and 10.5% from
acquisitions) and 8.3% related to foreign currency exchange.
         "Our International Group posted across-the-board gains with particular
strength in the U.K., Italy, Spain and the Benelux countries," commented Mr.
Bergman.  "During the third quarter we acquired W. &  J. Dunlop, a leading U.K.
animal health products supplier.  With the addition of Dunlops, our worldwide
veterinary business is at a run-rate of more than $700 million in annual sales."
         Technology and Value-Added Services Group sales increased 29.5% during
the third quarter of 2007, including 29.0% growth in local currencies (15.5%
internally generated and 13.5% acquisition growth) and 0.5% growth related to
foreign currency exchange.
         "Technology and Value-Added Services results reflect continued strong
electronic services, software and financial services revenue growth," stated Mr.
Bergman.  "We recently closed on our acquisition of Software of Excellence,
which provides us with leading positions in the U.K., Australia and New Zealand
dental practice software markets.  Sales of these products will be included in
our Technology and Value-Added Services Group beginning with the fourth quarter
of 2007."
