		<description><![CDATA[Patterson Companies (PDCO), a leading distributor of dental, veterinarian and rehabilitation medical supplies, posted tepid second-quarter fiscal 2012 results with both revenues and earnings trailing the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Second Quarter Highlights Profit for the quarter dipped roughly 8% year over year on account of costs associated with the company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). Revenues were essentially flat year over year at $856.9 million. Sales from Patterson’s core Dental Supply division edged down roughly 2% as the company registered lower sales from its dental equipment business in the quarter due to decline in revenues from its CEREC dental restoration systems. Revenues from the Webster Veterinary Supply division jumped 7% year over year, helped by the contributions of veterinary distributor American Veterinary Supply Corporation, which Patterson acquired in August 2011. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Henry Schein (HSIC), a worldwide distributor of healthcare products and services, recently launched its new &#8220;Total Health Beyond the Mouth&#8221; program developed in collaboration with the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health. This new integrated wellness and education program reveals to patients the vital link between oral health and total health, as well as helps out dental professionals in detecting probable systemic health problems, including periodontal disease, oral cancer, sleep disorders, heart disease and diabetes. The Journal of Periodontology notes that an initial investment in preventative periodontal health benefits patients in the long run as severe periodontal disease treatment comes at a much higher price with charges escalating 21% on an average from preventative periodontal health care costs. Henry Schein strongly believes that the Total Health Beyond the Mouth program ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MWI Veterinary Supply (MWIV) reported fiscal second-quarter earnings per share of 62 cents, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 50 cents and the year-ago earnings of 47 cents. The company reported $286.6 million in revenues, a growth of 34% compared to the corresponding period last year. While 18% of that growth is attributable to business operations of the company, 16% came from the acquisition of Centaur Services. In February 2010, MWIV acquired UK-based Centaur Services Limited, which is an animal health products supplier. Centaur, with a distribution center in Somerset, had revenues of £140 million (approximately $220 million) for the full year 2009. With this acquisition, MWIV aims to expand its presence in the international market. Gross profit increased 25% to $39.5 million during the quarter, though gross margin declined by 90 basis ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently reiterated our Neutral rating on Patterson Companies Inc. (PDCO) with a target price of $33, based on a P/E of 17.0x our fiscal 2011 EPS estimate of $1.94. Results for Patterson’s third quarter fiscal 2010 were mixed. The company reported third quarter fiscal 2010 earnings per share of 47 cents, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate and higher than the year-ago earnings of 45 cents. Total revenues in the third quarter increased 1% year over year to roughly $820.1 million. Dental Supply revenues declined 2.1% year over year to $572.1 million. The decline was due to the weak economic scenario that resulted in dental practitioners deferring their buying decisions on dental instruments. Veterinary Supply sales increased 4.5% year over year to $151.8 million. Rehabilitation Supply revenues increased ]]></description>

The company reported revenues of $236.1 million, an increase of 2% compared to the corresponding quarter of last year. Through its latest acquisition of UK-based Centaur Services, MWI is looking to expand its presence in the international market as well. Although negative trends in the general economy could reduce consumer discretionary spending on animal health products, we are pleased with MWIV&#8217;s robust growth over the past few years and the strong outlook. Given these factors, we upgrade the stock to Outperform. Zacks Investment Research]]></description>
