"McKesson reported record revenue of $93.7 billion, representing 21% growth compared to the previous year, and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share growth of 13% for the second quarter," said Brian Tyler, chief executive officer. "Our results for the second quarter demonstrated focused execution against our strategy and operating excellence across our businesses. We saw strong growth in our U.S. Pharmaceutical segment, including our leading oncology and specialty distribution capabilities."

Fiscal 2025 Outlook:
Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share guidance range raised to $32.40 to $33.00, from the previous range of $31.75 to $32.55.

Second quarter revenues were $93.7 billion, an increase of 21% from a year ago, primarily driven by growth in the U.S. Pharmaceutical segment, which includes onboarding a new strategic partner and increased prescription volumes, including higher volumes from retail national account customers, specialty products, and GLP-1 medications.



Second quarter earnings per diluted share was $1.87 compared to $4.92 a year ago, a decrease of $3.05, due to a charge of $643 million for the fair value remeasurement of assets and liabilities related to McKesson's agreement to sell its Canadian retail businesses and a charge of $227 million related to business rationalization initiatives, partially offset by a reversal of a portion of the prior year provision for bad debts within the U.S. Pharmaceutical segment related to the Rite Aid bankruptcy.

Second quarter Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share was $7.07 compared to $6.23 a year ago, an increase of 13%, driven by growth in the U.S. Pharmaceutical segment and a lower share count. Second quarter Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share also included pre-tax losses of $15 million associated with McKesson Ventures' equity investments, compared to pre-tax losses of $10 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

For the first six months of the fiscal year, McKesson returned $2.2 billion of cash to shareholders, which included $2.0 billion of common stock repurchases and $162 million of dividend payments. During the first six months of the fiscal year, McKesson generated cash from operations of $720 million, and invested $385 million in capital expenditures, resulting in Free Cash Flow of $335 million.

Business Highlights
McKesson continued to advance and expand its oncology platform.
McKesson announced an agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute LLC's (FCS) Core Ventures. FCS, a practice with more than 530 providers, will remain independent and join The US Oncology Network (USON). The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including required regulatory clearance.
USON expanded its footprint with the addition of Tennessee Cancer Specialists and Illinois CancerCare, adding 118 providers.
McKesson announced an agreement to sell its Canada-based Rexall and Well.ca retail businesses. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including required regulatory clearance.
In October, McKesson launched InspiroGene, a dedicated business focused on supporting the commercialization of cell and gene therapies.
McKesson was named as a "Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion" for the ninth consecutive year. McKesson earned a top-ranking score of 100 on the 2024 Disability Equality Index®, a joint initiative of the American Association of People with Disabilities and Disability:IN.

U.S. Pharmaceutical Segment
Revenues were $85.7 billion, an increase of 23%, driven by increased prescription volumes, including higher volumes from retail national account customers, specialty products, and GLP-1 medications.
Segment Operating Profit was $1.1 billion. Adjusted Segment Operating Profit was $902 million, an increase of 11%, driven by growth in the distribution of specialty products to providers and health systems.

Prescription Technology Solutions Segment
Revenues were $1.3 billion, an increase of 11%, driven by increased prescription volumes in our third-party logistics and technology services businesses.
Segment Operating Profit was $205 million. Adjusted Segment Operating Profit of $218 million, an increase of 4%, driven by growth in affordability and access solutions, partially offset by investments to support future growth.








Medical-Surgical Solutions Segment
Revenues were $2.9 billion, an increase of 4%, driven by higher volumes of specialty pharmaceuticals, including vaccines in the primary care channel.
Segment Operating Profit was $89 million. Adjusted Segment Operating Profit was $243 million, a decrease of 4%, driven by lower volumes, customer mix, and product demand shifts across the primary care sites of care, partially offset by growth in the extended care business.

International Segment
Revenues were $3.7 billion, an increase of 7%, driven by higher pharmaceutical distribution volumes in the Canadian business.
Segment Operating Loss was $508 million. Adjusted Segment Operating Profit was $100 million, an increase of 12%, driven by higher pharmaceutical distribution volumes in the Canadian business and the discontinued recording of depreciation and amortization on Canada-based Rexall and Well.ca retail businesses, which were classified as held for sale during the quarter.

Modernizing and Accelerating the Enterprise
McKesson launched a set of initiatives to modernize and accelerate the enterprise, further strengthening its business platforms in support of the continued customer operational excellence and enabling further growth against its long-term objectives.

Fiscal 2025 Outlook
McKesson does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis as the company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort. McKesson cannot reasonably forecast LIFO inventory-related adjustments, certain litigation loss and gain contingencies, restructuring, impairment and related charges, and other adjustments, which are difficult to predict and estimate. These items are generally uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond the company's control, and as such, any associated estimate and its impact on GAAP performance could vary materially.

McKesson is raising and narrowing fiscal 2025 Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share guidance to $32.40 to $33.00 from the previous range of $31.75 to $32.55.

Fiscal 2025 Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share guidance includes $0.53 related to year-to-date gains associated with McKesson Ventures' equity investments.

McKesson is raising its full year share repurchases target from $2.8 billion to $3.2 billion.

Additional modeling considerations will be provided in the earnings call presentation.

McKESSON CORPORATION
FINANCIAL STATEMENT NOTES

(1)Transaction-related expenses and adjustments for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 includes a net loss of $643 million (pre-tax and after-tax), to remeasure assets and liabilities held for sale to fair value less costs to sell related to an agreement to sell certain of our Canadian businesses. Net charges (pre-tax and after-tax) of $593 million included within International, and $50 million included within Corporate expenses, net, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024. These net charges are primarily to remeasure assets and liabilities held for sale to fair value less costs to sell, including the effect of accumulated other comprehensive income balances associated with the disposal group, and are included under "total operating expenses" in the reconciliation of McKesson's GAAP operating results to adjusted results (Non-GAAP) provided in Schedule 2 of the accompanying financial statement tables.

(2)Restructuring, impairment, and related charges, net for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 includes pre-tax charges of $234 million ($172 million after-tax) and $244 million ($180 million after-tax), respectively, primarily within Medical-Surgical Solutions, U.S. Pharmaceutical, and Corporate expenses, net. The three and six months ended September 30, 2023 includes pre-tax charges of $28 million ($21 million after-tax) and $80 million ($60 million after-tax), respectively, primarily within Corporate expenses, net. These charges are included under "gross profit" and "total operating expenses" in the reconciliation of McKesson's GAAP operating results to adjusted results (Non-GAAP) provided in Schedule 2 of the accompanying financial statement tables.

(3)Claims and litigation charges, net for the six months ended September 30, 2024 includes pre-tax charges of $114 million ($86 million after-tax) related to our estimated liability for opioid-related claims of a nationwide group of certain third-party payors. We recorded charges of $57 million ($43 million after-tax) within Corporate expenses, net and $57 million ($43 million after-tax) within U.S. Pharmaceutical. These charges are included under "total operating expenses" in the reconciliation of McKesson's GAAP operating results to adjusted results (Non-GAAP) provided in Schedule 2 of the accompanying financial statement tables.

(4)Other adjustments, net for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 includes a pre-tax credit of $203 million ($150 million after-tax), and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 includes a pre-tax charge of $210 million ($155 million after-tax), within U.S. Pharmaceutical related to the bankruptcy petition filing of our customer, Rite Aid Corporation (including certain of its subsidiaries, "Rite Aid") filed in October 2023. The charge within the second quarter of fiscal 2024 represents the remaining uncollected trade accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2023 due to us from Rite Aid. After Rite Aid successfully emerged from bankruptcy in August 2024, we reassessed our initial estimates made in conjunction with the previously reserved prepetition balances including cash received during the period, resulting in the credit recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Management believes the credit and charge are not reflective of allowances and estimated recoveries recorded in the normal course of operations and are related to Rite Aid's bankruptcy reorganization, and therefore are excluded from the determination of our adjusted results (Non-GAAP). These amounts are included under "total operating expenses" in the reconciliation of McKesson's GAAP operating results to adjusted results (Non-GAAP) provided in Schedule 2 of the accompanying financial statement tables.

(5)Other adjustments, net for the six months ended September 30, 2024 includes a pre-tax charge of $43 million ($31 million after-tax) within U.S. Pharmaceutical related to a loss from one of the Company's investments in equity securities. This charge is included under "other income, net" in the reconciliation of McKesson's GAAP operating results to adjusted results (Non-GAAP) provided in Schedule 2 of the accompanying financial statement tables.

(6)During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a pre-tax net gain of $100 million ($74 million after-tax) within Corporate expenses, net related to a recapitalization event of one of our investments in equity securities, which resulted in an increase to the carrying value of this investment. This gain was recorded in “Other income, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (GAAP) provided in Schedule 1 of the accompanying financial statement tables.

McKESSON CORPORATION
SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's financial results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), McKesson Corporation (the "Company" or "we") also presents the following Non-GAAP measures in this press release.

Adjusted Gross Profit (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Gross Profit as GAAP gross profit, excluding transaction-related expenses and adjustments, last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, and other adjustments.

Adjusted Operating Expenses (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Operating Expenses as GAAP total operating expenses, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, restructuring, impairment, and related charges, claims and litigation charges, and other adjustments.

Adjusted Other Income (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Other Income as GAAP other income (expense), net, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, and other adjustments.

Adjusted Interest Expense (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Interest Expense as GAAP interest expense, excluding transaction-related expenses and adjustments related to net interest expense incurred from cross-currency swaps used to hedge the changes in the fair value of the Company's foreign currency-denominated notes resulting from changes in benchmark interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The foreign currency-denominated notes were previously designated as non-derivative net investment hedges of portions of the Company's net investments in its now-divested European businesses against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar.

Adjusted Income Tax Expense (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Income Tax Expense as GAAP income tax benefit (expense), excluding the income tax effects of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, LIFO inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, restructuring, impairment, and related charges, claims and litigation charges, and other adjustments. Income tax effects are calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, “Income Taxes,” which is the same accounting principle used by the Company when presenting its GAAP financial results.

Adjusted Earnings (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Earnings as GAAP income attributable to McKesson, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, LIFO inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, restructuring, impairment, and related charges, claims and litigation charges, other adjustments, as well as the related income tax effects for each of these items, as applicable.

Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share as GAAP earnings per diluted common share attributable to McKesson, excluding per share impacts of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, LIFO inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, restructuring, impairment, and related charges, claims and litigation charges, other adjustments, as well as the related income tax effects for each of these items, as applicable, divided by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.

Adjusted Segment Operating Profit (Non-GAAP) and Adjusted Segment Operating Profit Margin (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Segment Operating Profit as GAAP segment operating profit, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, LIFO inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, restructuring, impairment, and related charges, and other adjustments. We define Adjusted Segment Operating Profit Margin as Adjusted Segment Operating Profit (Non-GAAP) divided by GAAP segment revenues.

Adjusted Corporate Expenses (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Corporate Expenses as GAAP corporate expenses, net, excluding transaction-related expenses and adjustments, restructuring, impairment, and related charges, claims and litigation charges, and other adjustments.



2 of 3
SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

Adjusted Operating Profit (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Operating Profit as GAAP income before interest expense and income taxes, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, LIFO inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, restructuring, impairment, and related charges, claims and litigation charges, and other adjustments.

The following provides further details regarding the adjustments made to our GAAP financial results to arrive at our Non-GAAP measures as defined above:

Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles - Amortization charges for intangible assets directly related to business combinations and the formation of joint ventures.

Transaction-related expenses and adjustments - Transaction, integration, and other expenses that are directly related to business combinations, the formation of joint ventures, divestitures, and other transaction-related costs including initial public offering costs. Examples include transaction closing costs, professional service fees, legal fees, severance charges, retention payments and employee relocation expenses, facility or other exit-related expenses, certain fair value adjustments including deferred revenues, contingent consideration and inventory, recoveries of acquisition-related expenses or post-closing expenses, net interest expense impact of hedging foreign currency-denominated notes, bridge loan fees and gains or losses on business combinations, and divestitures of businesses that do not qualify as discontinued operations.

LIFO inventory-related adjustments - LIFO inventory-related non-cash charges or credit adjustments.

Gains from antitrust legal settlements - Net cash proceeds representing the Company’s share of antitrust legal settlements.

Restructuring, impairment, and related charges - Restructuring charges that are incurred for programs in which we change our operations, the scope of a business undertaken by our business units, or the manner in which that business is conducted as well as long-lived asset impairments. Such charges may include employee severance, retention bonuses, facility closure or consolidation costs, lease or contract termination costs, asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and amortization, and other related expenses. The restructuring programs may be implemented due to the sale or discontinuation of a product line, reorganization or management structure changes, headcount rationalization, realignment of operations or products, integration of acquired businesses, and/or company-wide cost saving initiatives. The amount and/or frequency of these restructuring charges are not part of our underlying business, which include normal levels of reinvestment in the business. Any credit adjustments due to subsequent changes in estimates are also excluded from adjusted results.

Claims and litigation charges - Adjustments to certain of the Company’s reserves, including those related to estimated probable settlements for its controlled substance monitoring and reporting, and opioid-related claims, as well as any applicable income items or credit adjustments due to subsequent changes in estimates. This does not include our legal fees to defend claims, which are expensed as incurred. This also may include charges or credits for general non-operational claims not directly related to our ongoing business.

Other adjustments - The Company evaluates the nature and significance of transactions qualitatively and quantitatively on an individual basis and may include them in the determination of our adjusted results from time to time. While not all-inclusive, other adjustments may include: other asset impairments; gains or losses from debt extinguishment; and other similar substantive and/or infrequent items as deemed appropriate.

The Company evaluates the aforementioned Non-GAAP measures on a periodic basis and updates the definitions from time to time. The evaluation considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the Company’s presentation of Non-GAAP adjusted results. A reconciliation of McKesson’s GAAP financial results to Non-GAAP financial results is provided in Schedules 2 and 3 of the financial statement tables included with this press release.

Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP): We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less payments for property, plant, and equipment and capitalized software expenditures, as disclosed in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. A reconciliation of McKesson’s GAAP financial results to Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP) is provided in Schedule 6 of the financial statement tables included with this press release



3 of 3
SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

The Company believes the presentation of Non-GAAP measures provides useful supplemental information to investors with regard to its operating performance, as well as assists with the comparison of its past financial performance to the Company’s future financial results. Moreover, the Company believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP measures assists investors’ ability to compare its financial results to those of other companies in the same industry. However, the Company's Non-GAAP measures used in the press tables may be defined and calculated differently by other companies in the same industry.

The Company internally uses both GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its own financial planning and reporting processes. Management utilizes Non-GAAP financial measures when allocating resources, deploying capital, as well as assessing business performance, and determining employee incentive compensation. The Company conducts its businesses internationally in local currencies, including Canadian dollars, Euro, and British pound sterling. As a result, the comparability of our results reported in U.S. dollars can be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe free cash flow is important to management and useful to investors as a supplemental measure as it indicates the cash flow available for working capital needs, re-investment opportunities, strategic acquisitions, share repurchases, dividend payments, or other strategic uses of cash. Nonetheless, Non-GAAP adjusted results and related Non-GAAP measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures as determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP.
