“McKesson delivered another solid quarter, driven by the dedication of our talented associates committed to advancing healthcare for all. Our performance was highlighted by execution across our scaled distribution businesses and differentiated capabilities in the oncology and biopharma services platforms," said Brian Tyler, chief executive officer. "This consistently solid performance, combined with our outlook, reinforces our ability to deliver on our financial targets, resulting in compelling value creation for all stakeholders. As a result of our execution and operational strength, we are raising our fiscal 2023 Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share guidance to $25.75 to $26.15."
Third-quarter revenues were $70.5 billion, an increase of 3% from a year ago, primarily driven by growth in the U.S. Pharmaceutical segment, resulting from increased specialty product volumes, including retail national account customers, market growth, and strength across the oncology platform including increased patient visits partially offset by lower revenues in the International segment as a result of the completed divestitures of McKesson’s European businesses.
Third-quarter earnings per diluted share from continuing operations was $7.65 compared to loss per diluted share from continuing operations of ($0.04) a year ago, an increase of $7.69, due to an after-tax charge of $829 million for the fair value remeasurement related to McKesson's agreement to sell its UK business in the third-quarter of fiscal 2022.
Third-quarter Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share was $6.90 compared to $6.15 a year ago, an increase of 12%, driven by lower corporate expenses, including a pre-tax benefit of $126 million associated with the termination of the tax receivable agreement with Change Healthcare, lower share count, and growth across the North American businesses.
For the first nine months of the fiscal year, McKesson returned $3.7 billion of cash to shareholders, which included $3.5 billion of common stock repurchases and $216 million of dividend payments. During the first nine months of the fiscal year, McKesson generated cash from operations of $1.8 billion, and invested more than $300 million in capital expenditures, resulting in Free Cash Flow of $1.5 billion.
Business Highlights
•McKesson was recognized by Newsweek as one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity in 2023.
•The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has approved McKesson's near-term science-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets. The targets validated by SBTi are to:
◦Reduce direct GHG emissions 50% by fiscal 2032 from a fiscal 2020 base year
◦Ensure 70% of McKesson suppliers, by spend covering purchased goods and services, will have their own SBTi-approved GHG reduction targets by fiscal 2027
•McKesson continued to expand its differentiated oncology and biopharma businesses, further demonstrating meaningful progress against its company priorities.
◦On October 31, 2022, McKesson and HCA Healthcare completed the formation of a joint venture combining McKesson's US Oncology Research and HCA Healthcare's Sarah Cannon Research Institute and on November 1, 2022, McKesson completed the acquisition of Rx Savings Solutions.
◦The US Oncology Network expanded its footprint into local communities with the addition of two large multidisciplinary practices, Epic Care and Nexus Health.

•Third-quarter Segment Operating Profit was $850 million. Adjusted Segment Operating Profit was $778 million, an increase of 6%, driven by growth in distribution of specialty products to providers and health systems.

Medical-Surgical Solutions Segment
•Third-quarter revenues were $3.0 billion, a decrease of 3%, driven by lower sales of COVID-19 tests and lower contribution from kitting, storage, and distribution of ancillary supplies for the U.S. government's COVID-19 vaccine program, partially offset by growth in the primary care business.
•Third-quarter Segment Operating Profit was $328 million. Adjusted Segment Operating Profit was $336 million, an increase of 2%, driven by growth in the primary care business and organic business performance, partially offset by lower sales of COVID-19 tests and lower contribution from kitting, storage, and distribution of ancillary supplies for the U.S. government's COVID-19 vaccine program.

International Segment
•Third-quarter revenues were $4.4 billion. On an FX-Adjusted basis, revenues were $4.9 billion, a decrease of 48%, driven by the divestitures of McKesson's European businesses.
•Third-quarter Segment Operating Profit was $136 million. On an FX-Adjusted basis, Adjusted Segment Operating Profit was $158 million, a decrease of 29%, driven by the divestitures of McKesson's European businesses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
GAAP refers to the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This press release includes GAAP financial measures as well as Non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted Other Income, Adjusted Loss on Debt Extinguishment, Adjusted Income Tax Expense, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share, Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share Excluding Certain Items, Adjusted Segment Operating Profit, Adjusted Segment Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Corporate Expenses, Adjusted Operating Profit, FX-Adjusted results and Free Cash Flow which are financial measures not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Refer to the “Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information” section of the accompanying financial statement tables for the definitions and usefulness of the Company’s Non-GAAP financial measures and the attached schedules for reconciliations of the differences between the Non-GAAP financial measures and their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
The Company does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis as McKesson is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking Non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort, because McKesson cannot reliably 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 inherently 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.
Cautionary Statements
This earnings release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “projects,” “plans,” “estimates,” “targets” or the negative of these words or other comparable terminology. The discussion of financial outlook, guidance, trends, strategy, plans, assumptions, or intentions, and our greenhouse gas emission targets may also include forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, such as financial performance forecasts, which speak only as of the date they are first made. Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated, or implied. Although it is not possible to predict or identify all such risks and uncertainties, we encourage investors to read the risk factors described in our most recent annual and periodic report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
These risk factors include, but are not limited to: we experience costly and disruptive legal disputes and settlements, including regarding our role in distributing controlled substances such as opioids; we might experience losses not covered by insurance; we might be adversely impacted by changes in tax legislation or challenges to our tax positions; we from time to time record significant charges from impairment to goodwill, intangibles, inventory and other assets or investments; we experience cybersecurity incidents and might experience significant computer system compromises or data breaches; we might experience significant problems with information systems or networks; we may be unsuccessful in retail pharmacy profitability; we might be harmed by large customer purchase reductions, payment defaults or contract non-renewal; our contracts with government entities involve future funding and compliance risks; we might be harmed by changes in our relationships or contracts with suppliers; we might be adversely impacted by delays or other difficulties with divestitures; we might be adversely impacted by healthcare reform such as changes in pricing and reimbursement models; we might be adversely impacted by changes or disruptions in product supply and we have experienced and may experience difficulties in sourcing products and changes in pricing due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russo-Ukrainian War on supply chains; we might be adversely impacted as a result of our distribution of generic pharmaceuticals; we might be adversely impacted by an economic slowdown or recession and by disruption in capital and credit markets that might impede our access to credit, increase our borrowing costs and impair the financial soundness of our customers and suppliers; we might be adversely impacted by monetary inflation or fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; we might be adversely impacted by events outside of our control, such as widespread public health issues (including the effects we have experienced from the COVID-19 pandemic), natural disasters, political events (such as the Russo-Ukrainian War) and other catastrophic events; we may not achieve our GHG emissions reduction targets; SBTi may not validate a sufficient number of our suppliers’ GHG reduction targets; we may incur additional costs or operational impacts related to our GHG reduction initiatives; we may be adversely affected by global climate change or by legal, regulatory or market responses to such change; and we face uncertainties and risks related to COVID-19 vaccination distribution and related ancillary supply kit programs.

McKESSON CORPORATION
FINANCIAL STATEMENT NOTES
(1)Transaction-related expenses and adjustments for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 includes pre-tax net gains of $31 million ($36 million after-tax) and $66 million ($35 million after-tax), respectively, to remeasure assets and liabilities held for sale to fair value less costs to sell related to an agreement to sell certain of our European businesses to the PHOENIX Group. Pre-tax gains for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 of $34 million ($39 million after-tax) and $306 million ($275 million after-tax), respectively, are included within Corporate expenses, net, and charges (pre-tax and after-tax) of $3 million and $240 million, respectively, are included within International. These gains and 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.

(8)Other adjustments, net for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 includes a pre-tax gain of $97 million ($72 million after-tax) within Corporate expenses, net from termination of fixed interest rate swaps accounted for as cash flow hedges.

This gain 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.
(9)Other adjustments, net for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 includes a pre-tax loss of $191 million ($141 million after-tax) on debt extinguishment within Corporate expenses, net related to our July 2021 tender offer to redeem a portion of our then-existing debt.

These charges were driven by the intent of management to not sell this excess inventory which required inventory write downs to zero net realizable value, and instead direct it to charitable organizations or otherwise dispose. A portion of this inventory was committed for donation to charitable organizations during our first quarter of fiscal 2022, which was delivered during fiscal 2022. Due to the nature of this inventory which was no longer intended for sale in a quantitatively significant amount, management believes this charge is not part of normal business operations and is therefore excluded from our determination of adjusted results. A pre-tax charge of $147 million ($112 million after-tax) is included under "gross profit" primarily related to the excess inventory, which we no longer planned to sell, and a pre-tax charge of $8 million ($6 million after-tax) is included under "total operating expenses" related to the completed donation in the reconciliation of McKesson's GAAP operating results to adjusted results (Non-GAAP) provided in Schedule 2 of the accompanying financial statement tables.

("Change") pursuant to the TRA for early termination of the agreement. We entered into this agreement as part of the formation of a joint venture with Change, from which McKesson has since exited. This amount was recorded in “Other income, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (GAAP) provided in Schedule 1 of the accompanying financial statement tables.

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 expenses of 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, bridge loan fees and gains or losses on business combinations, and divestitures of businesses that do not qualify as discontinued operations.
Gains from antitrust legal settlements - Net cash proceeds representing the Company’s share of antitrust lawsuit 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.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
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 release.
•FX-Adjusted (Non-GAAP): McKesson also presents its GAAP financial results and adjusted results (Non-GAAP) on an FX-Adjusted basis. To present our financial results on an FX-Adjusted basis, we convert current year period results of our operations in foreign countries, which are recorded in local currencies, into U.S. dollars by applying the average foreign currency exchange rates of the comparable prior year period. To present Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share on an FX-Adjusted basis, we estimate the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuations on the Company’s noncontrolling interests and adjusted income tax expense, which may vary from quarter to quarter. The supplemental FX-Adjusted information of the Company’s GAAP financial results and adjusted results (Non-GAAP) is provided in Schedule 3 of the financial statement tables included with this 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 release.
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 Euro, Canadian dollars, 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 present FX-Adjusted information to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the estimated effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. 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, 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.
