Segment Data
We conduct our business through
two
 
reportable segments: (i) health care distribution and (ii) technology
 
and
value-added services. These segments offer different products and services to the same customer
 
base. Our global
dental businesses serve office-based dental practitioners, dental laboratories, schools and
 
other institutions. Our
global medical businesses serve office-based medical practitioners, ambulatory
 
surgery centers, other alternate-care
settings and other institutions. Our global dental and medical groups serve
 
practitioners in
32
 
countries worldwide.
The health care distribution reportable segment aggregates our global
 
dental and medical operating segments. This
segment distributes consumable products, dental specialty products,
 
small equipment, laboratory products, large
equipment, equipment repair services, branded and generic pharmaceuticals,
 
vaccines, surgical products, diagnostic
tests, infection-control products, personal protective equipment (“PPE”)
 
and vitamins.
Our global technology and value-added services reportable segment provides
 
software, technology and other value-
added services to health care practitioners. Our technology offerings include practice
 
management software systems
for dental and medical practitioners. Our value-added practice solutions
 
include practice consultancy, education,
revenue cycle management and financial services on a non-recourse basis,
 
e-services, practice technology, network
and hardware services, as well as continuing education services for practitioners.
