Insights

Cencora adds a large oncology platform for about $4.6B, financed with new debt.

Cencora has acquired the majority of equity interests it did not already own in OneOncology, a physician-led oncology platform, for total cash consideration of approximately $4.6 billion. OneOncology’s results will be consolidated within the U.S. Healthcare Solutions reportable segment, indicating it becomes part of core operations.

The transaction is funded through new debt financing, which increases leverage but preserves existing cash. OneOncology’s affiliated practices and management retain a minority interest, aligning them with future performance while Cencora controls the business.

Future company disclosures covering the U.S. Healthcare Solutions segment and overall debt levels will show how this acquisition affects earnings, margins, and interest expense after December 31, 2025.
