exam gloves including purple, lavender and sterling; and sterilization wraps such as one-step, quick check and smart-fold. this business will become an essential part of the global products strategic business unit. with access to markets in 90 countries, the halyard s&ip business provides owens & minor with global reach and a platform for growth. to finance the transaction, owens & minor entered into new, multi-year term loan agreements with banks and institutional lenders. segment results owens & minor is now operating under two strategic business units (sbus)—global solutions and global products—reflecting the company’s evolving business. management believes the new sbu structure will create better alignment within the organization. results for these two new segments include the following: the global solutions sbu is comprised of the former domestic and international segments, which includes our u.s. and european distribution, logistics and value-added services business, as well as byram healthcare. revenues for the first quarter of 2018 were $2.34 billion compared to $2.29 billion a year ago. global solutions’ operating income was $31.6 million compared to $38.0 million a year ago, as a result of continued margin pressure and warehouse inefficiencies in our distribution centers. teams are actively working to resolve the inefficiencies. byram healthcare, acquired in august 2017, contributed positively to quarterly results, adding $118 million to revenues. byram is bringing significant momentum to owens & minor’s strategy to serve the market along the continuum of care. the global products sbu is comprised of our former proprietary products segment, which includes global sourcing, clinical & procedural solutions (cps), and now the halyard s&ip business. revenues in the first quarter of 2018 were $121 million compared to $137 million for the same period last year. because the acquisition was completed on april 30, 2018, global products first quarter results do not reflect contributions from halyard s&ip revenues. the quarterly revenue change resulted primarily from the previously discussed loss of customers last year. however, global products’ operating income increased by $1.7 million to $9.8 million, as a result of improved operating efficiencies. asset management the balance of cash and cash equivalents was $87.6 million at march 31, 2018, compared to $105 million at december 31, 2017. for the quarter, the company reported operating cash flow of $18.3 million, compared to a use of cash of $26.4 million for the same period last year. for the quarter, asset management metrics included consolidated days sales outstanding (dso) of 28.9 compared to 28.7 days as of year-end. consolidated inventory turns were 8.3 times for the first quarter, compared to 8.5 times in 2017. upcoming investor events owens & minor plans to participate in the following investor conferences in the second quarter of 2018 and the company will post webcasts of formal presentations on its corporate website: bank of america merrill lynch 2018 healthcare conference;
