Accounting Policies [Abstract]
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business Medline Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on November 6, 2024, is a holding company, and its material assets are its equity interests held directly or indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries in Medline Holdings, LP (“Medline Holdings”), and its subsidiaries (together, the “Company” or “Medline”). The Company is a medical-surgical products and supply chain company, serving healthcare providers across the continuum of care. Its customers are primarily composed of hospitals, nursing homes and other health care providers located in the United States of America, Canada, Europe, Asia-Pacific (which includes Southeast Asia, Japan and Australia), Latin America (which includes Mexico), the Middle East and Africa. Tracy, California Distribution Center On June 11, 2026, a fire destroyed the Company's distribution center in Tracy, California. All employees were safely evacuated. The Company has estimated incurred losses of $336 million, which consist of $204 million related to inventory losses, $116 million related to fixed asset losses, and $16 million other expenses, for the three and six months ended June 27, 2026. These losses were recorded in Other operating expenses on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. As of June 27, 2026, discussions with the Company’s insurers are ongoing, and, as such, no insurance recoveries have been recorded. Following the fire, the Company entered into lease agreements for two distribution centers in Northern California to help support service to healthcare providers and customers in Northern California following the fire. The Company may incur additional losses and costs in future periods associated with the fire and its related impacts. The Company expects to recognize insurance recoveries in future periods as the applicable recognition criteria are met. The timing and amount of any additional losses, costs, or insurance recoveries remain uncertain. Secondary Offerings On May 28, 2026, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of an aggregate of 72,554,594 shares of Class A common stock sold by a wholly owned subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and certain affiliates of the Company’s Sponsors (collectively, the “May 2026 Selling Stockholders”) at a public offering price of $37.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.7 billion to the May 2026 Selling Stockholders (the “May 2026 Resale Offering”). This transaction resulted in the issuance of 29,505,565 shares of Class A common stock in connection with the exchange of Common Units by the May 2026 Selling Stockholders for the six months ended June 27, 2026. The exchange reduced the ownership of noncontrolling interest in Medline Holdings by approximately 2% and will increase the net income attributable to the Company in a proportionate amount. The Company did not sell any shares in this May 2026 Resale Offering and did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of Class A common stock in this May 2026 Resale Offering. The Company paid the offering expenses associated with the sale of the shares by the May 2026 Selling Stockholders, net of the underwriting discounts and commissions. On March 10, 2026, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of an aggregate of 86,250,000 shares of Class A common stock (including 11,250,000 shares of Class A common stock issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) sold by a wholly owned subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and certain affiliates of the Company’s Sponsors (collectively, the “March 2026 Selling Stockholders”) at a public offering price of $41.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 billion to the Selling Stockholders (the “March 2026 Resale Offering”). This transaction resulted in the issuance of 33,963,901 shares of Class A common stock in connection with the exchange of Common Units by the March 2026 Selling Stockholders for the six months ended June 27, 2026. The exchange reduced the ownership of noncontrolling interest in Medline Holdings by approximately 3% and will increase the net income attributable to the Company in a proportionate amount. The Company did not sell any shares in this March 2026 Resale Offering and did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of Class A common stock in this March 2026 Resale Offering. The Company paid the offering expenses associated with the sale of the shares by the March 2026 Selling Stockholders, net of the underwriting discounts and commissions. Initial Public Offering On December 16, 2025, the SEC declared effective the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed in connection with IPO. The Company’s Class A common stock started trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on December 17, 2025. On December 18, 2025, the Company completed the IPO of its Class A common stock in which the Company issued and sold 248,439,654 shares of Class A common stock (including shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) for cash consideration of $29.00 per share. The IPO generated net proceeds of approximately $7,048 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $157 million, but before deducting offering expenses of approximately $40 million. The Company used the proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) from the issuance of 179,000,000 shares ($5,078 million) in the IPO to purchase an equivalent number of newly issued Common Units from Medline Holdings, which Medline Holdings has in turn used $731 million of which to repay in full all outstanding Euro Term Loans (as defined herein) and $3,292 million of which to repay a portion of the outstanding Dollar Term Loans (as defined herein) which matures in 2028. The Company will use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes and to bear all of the expenses of the IPO. The Company has used the proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) from the issuance of 37,034,482 shares ($1,051 million) and the issuance of 32,405,172 shares ($919 million) pursuant to the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares in the IPO to purchase or redeem an equivalent aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock and Common Units from certain pre-IPO owners. Reorganization On December 16, 2025, prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company executed several reorganization transactions (the “Reorganization”) and amended and restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Medline Holdings (the “LP Agreement”), resulting in the following: •Medline Inc. became the general partner of Medline Holdings with 100% of the voting power and control of Medline Holdings. •All outstanding Class A Units and Class B CUPI Units of Medline Holdings were either (1) reclassified into Common Units, a new class of partnership interest of Medline Holdings, or (2) directly or indirectly exchanged for vested shares of Class A common stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of Medline Inc. The holders of Common Units were also allocated shares of Class B common stock of Medline Inc. on a one-for-one basis with the number of their Common Units. •All outstanding Class B units of Medline Holdings were either (1) reclassified into Incentive Units, a new class of partnership interest of Medline Holdings, or (2) directly or indirectly exchanged for vested shares of Class A common stock of Medline Inc., in the case of vested Class B units, and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), RSUs, and options of Medline Inc., in the case of unvested Class B units. •Holders of Incentive Units (“Incentive Unitholders”) have the right to exchange their vested Incentive Units for Common Units at the exchange rate defined by the amended LP Agreement. •Recognition of noncontrolling interests due to the pre-IPO owners retaining an economic interest in Medline Holdings related to Common Units and Incentive Units. After the Reorganization, Medline Inc.’s sole material asset is a controlling equity interest in Medline Holdings. As the general partner of Medline Holdings, Medline Inc. now operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Medline Holdings, and has the obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits from Medline Holdings and, through Medline Holdings and its subsidiaries, operate the business. The Reorganization has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. As a result, the consolidated financial statements of Medline Inc. recognized the assets and liabilities received in the Reorganization at their historical carrying amounts, as presented in the historical financial statements of Medline Holdings. Medline Inc. consolidates Medline Holdings on its consolidated financial statements and records a noncontrolling interest. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The results of businesses acquired or disposed of are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition or up to the date of disposal, respectively. All adjustments, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim and annual periods presented have been made. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. A noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary represents the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of equity in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the presentation of net income (loss) is modified to present earnings and other comprehensive income (loss) attributed to controlling and noncontrolling interests. The Company reclassified certain prior period amounts in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to the current year’s presentation. Specifically, one immaterial line item was combined with another line item, and a line item previously included within another caption is now presented separately. The reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities or net cash used in investing and financing activities. Fiscal Periods The Company’s fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. The fiscal quarters are based on a four-four-five-week calendar with periods ending on the Saturday of the last week in the quarter, with the exception of December 31, which is always the fiscal year end date. The current period end date is June 27, 2026. Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit losses, inventory valuation reserves, fair value of financial instruments, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, tax receivable agreement (“TRA”), deferred tax valuations, depreciation and amortization, actuarial assumptions, and fair value allocations related to business combinations. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU 2025-05 introduces a practical expedient allowing entities to assume current economic conditions, as of the balance sheet date, remain unchanged when estimating expected credit losses for current trade receivables and contract assets. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 on a prospective basis, and including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on a prospective basis in the first quarter of 2026, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
