Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On December 2, 2010, Owens & Minor, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial outlook for 2011, which press release is furnished herein. In addition, the Company is furnishing the accompanying supplemental financial information, which reflects certain reclassifications to conform the Company’s historical consolidated statements of income to the future presentation of results. The revised presentation includes quarterly information from January 1, 2008 through September 30, 2010, and annual information from 2007 through 2009.

The Company has historically allocated to cost of goods sold amounts for supply chain management services marketed under OMSolutionsSM. In order to provide consistent presentation across the Company’s service lines, the Company has reclassified these amounts from cost of goods sold to selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). The amounts reclassified from cost of goods sold to SG&A represent a quarterly range of $5.2 to $7.3 million since the first quarter of 2008.

The reclassifications made by the Company had no impact on previously reported revenues, operating earnings, shareholders’ equity, or cash flows from operations.

The Company is furnishing the accompanying press release and supplemental financial information as Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2 pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K. In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
