FINANCIAL NOTES
(UNAUDITED)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations: McKesson Corporation together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “McKesson,”) is a diversified healthcare services leader dedicated to advancing health outcomes for patients everywhere. McKesson partners with biopharma companies, care providers, pharmacies, manufacturers, governments, and others to deliver insights, products, and services to help make quality care more accessible and affordable. The Company reports its financial results in four reportable segments: U.S. Pharmaceutical, Prescription Technology Solutions (“RxTS”), Medical-Surgical Solutions, and International. Refer to Financial Note 13, “Segments of Business,” for additional information.
Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and therefore do not include all information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of McKesson include the financial statements of all majority-owned or controlled companies. For those consolidated subsidiaries where the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the portion of the net income or loss allocable to the noncontrolling interests is reported as “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees.
Fiscal Period: The Company’s fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. Unless otherwise noted, all references to a particular year means the Company’s fiscal year.
Reclassifications: Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of these financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimated amounts. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of McKesson for the interim periods presented.
The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be anticipated for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements, accounting policies, and financial notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, previously filed with the SEC on May 9, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”).

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures using a prospective transition method. ASU 2023-09 improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring, on an annual basis, consistent categories, and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. While this accounting standard will increase disclosures related to the Company’s income taxes within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026, the standard did not have any impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statement results.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its disclosures.
2. Business Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions
For all acquisitions, we allocate the purchase price to the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and may be subject to additional adjustments, which may be up to one year from the respective acquisition dates.
PRISM Vision Holdings, LLC
On April 1, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of a controlling interest in PRISM Vision Holdings, LLC (“PRISM Vision”), a leading provider of general ophthalmology and retina management services. The Company acquired an 80 % controlling interest in PRISM Vision for $874 million in cash (subject to customary post-closing adjustments). The payment made upon closing was from cash on hand. PRISM Vision physicians retained a 20 % ownership interest. The financial results of PRISM Vision are included within the Company’s U.S. Pharmaceutical segment as of the acquisition date. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination.
The purchase price allocation included acquired intangible finite-lived assets of $510 million and goodwill of $432 million. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition of PRISM Vision is mostly deductible for tax purposes.

The Company acquired a 70 % controlling interest for $2.5 billion in cash (subject to customary post-closing adjustments). The payment made upon closing was from cash on hand and the net proceeds from the May 30, 2025 public debt offerings. Refer to Financial Note 8, “Debt and Financing Activities,” for additional information on the public debt offerings. FCS physicians retained a 30 % interest. The 30 % minority interest is classified as redeemable noncontrolling interest, with a put option exercisable every five years subject to a floor of 75 % of initial fair value. Refer to Financial Note 5, “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests” for additional information.
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination, and the financial results of Core Ventures are included within the Company’s U.S. Pharmaceutical segment as of the acquisition date.

Canada Divestiture Activities
On December 30, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its Rexall and Well.ca businesses in Canada (“Canadian retail disposal group”) for an adjusted purchase price consisting of a cash payment of $9 million, received at closing, and a note of $120 million, measured at fair value and accruing interest upon satisfaction of certain conditions, and payable to the Company at the end of six years . Within the International segment and as part of the transaction, the Company divested net assets of $741 million, including $125 million of intercompany trade accounts payable primarily related to purchases of inventories from McKesson Canada assumed by the buyer upon divestiture. The Company determined that the disposal group did not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations.
During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded net charges of $667 million, to remeasure the Canadian retail disposal group to fair value less costs to sell, within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remeasurement adjustment for the year ended March 31, 2025 included a $48 million loss related to the accumulated other comprehensive loss balances associated with the Canadian retail disposal group. The Company’s measurement of the fair value of the Canadian retail disposal group was based on the total consideration expected to be received by the Company as outlined in the transaction agreements. Certain components of the total consideration included Level 3 fair value measurements.
Other
For the periods presented, the Company also completed immaterial acquisitions and divestitures within its operating segments. Financial results for the Company’s business acquisitions have been included in its condensed consolidated financial statements as of their respective acquisition dates.
On August 4, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its retail and distribution businesses in Norway (“Norway disposal group”), which operate within the International segment. As a result, the Company expects to classify the assets and liabilities of the Norway disposal group as held for sale in its next quarterly financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the financial impact of the transaction.

Noncontrolling interests with redemption features, such as put rights, that are not solely within the Company’s control are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company recognized redeemable noncontrolling interests of $25 million related to the acquisition of PRISM Vision and $700 million related to its acquisition of Core Ventures. The Company utilized the Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests for both acquisitions.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented outside of stockholders’ deficit in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures,” for additional information on the acquisition activity discussed above.

Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests includes third-party equity interests in the Company’s consolidated entities, including ClarusONE Sourcing Services LLP, Vantage Oncology Holdings, LLC and SCRI Oncology, LLC.
The Company allocated $47 million and $45 million of net income to noncontrolling interests during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was recorded in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

6. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is similar to that of basic earnings per common share, except that the former reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted stock units. Less than one

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
Goodwill
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the first fiscal quarter, and more frequently if indicators for potential impairment exist. Goodwill impairment testing is conducted at the reporting unit level, which is generally defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (also known as a component), for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that reporting unit. The annual impairment testing performed in fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 did not indicate any impairment of goodwill.

On September 10, 2024, the Company completed a public debt offering of 4.25 % Notes due September 15, 2029 in a principal amount of $500 million (the “2029 Notes”). Interest on the 2029 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15th and September 15th of each year, commencing on March 15, 2025. Proceeds received from the issuance of the 2029 Notes, net of discounts and debt offering expenses, were $496 million. The Company utilized the net proceeds from the debt offering of the 2029 Notes together with cash on hand to redeem its $500 million outstanding principal amount of 5.25 % Notes due February 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), which became callable on or after February 15, 2024, prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date. The total loss recognized on the debt extinguishment of the 2026 Notes described above for the year ended March 31, 2025 was not material and was included within “Interest expense” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Each of the 2029 Notes, the 2030 Notes, the 2032 Notes, and the 2035 Notes constitutes a “series,” is an unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of the Company and ranks equally with all of the Company’s existing, and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that may be outstanding from time-to-time.

Revolving Credit Facilities
5-Year Facility
On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2022 Credit Facility”) which was subsequently amended on November 7, 2024 and May 8, 2025, that provides a syndicated $4.0 billion senior unsecured credit facility with a $3.6 billion aggregate sublimit of availability in Canadian dollars, British pound sterling, and Euro. The 2022 Credit Facility is scheduled to mature in November 2028. On November 7, 2024, the maturity date of the 2022 Credit Facility was extended from November 2028 to November 2029. Borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility bear interest based upon the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for credit extensions denominated in U.S. dollars, the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate for credit extensions denominated in British pound sterling, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate for credit extensions denominated in Euros, the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average for credit extensions denominated in Canadian dollars, a prime rate, or alternative overnight rates, as applicable, plus agreed upon margins. The 2022 Credit Facility contains various customary investment grade covenants, including a financial covenant which obligates the Company to maintain a maximum Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio, as defined in the 2022 Credit Facility. If the Company does not comply with these covenants, its ability to use the 2022 Credit Facility may be suspended and repayment of any outstanding balances under the 2022 Credit Facility may be required to be repaid. The Company can use funds obtained under the 2022 Credit Facility for general corporate purposes.

The Company can use funds obtained under the 364-Day Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. There were no no no borrowings under the 364-Day Facility during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and no amounts outstanding at June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the 2022 Credit Facility and the 364-Day Facility.
Commercial Paper
9. Hedging Activities
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. At times, the Company limits these risks through the use of derivatives as described below. In accordance with the Company’s policy, derivatives are only used for hedging purposes. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company uses various counterparties for its derivative contracts to minimize the exposure to credit risk but does not anticipate non-performance by these parties.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The Company conducts its business worldwide in U.S. dollars and the functional currencies of its foreign subsidiaries, including Canadian dollars, Euro, and British pounds sterling. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results that are reported in U.S. dollars. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to its foreign subsidiaries, including intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company has certain foreign currency exchange rate risk programs that use foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps. These forward contracts and cross-currency swaps are generally used to offset the potential income statement effects from intercompany loans and other obligations denominated in non-functional currencies. These programs reduce but do not entirely eliminate foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has exposure to changes in interest rates, and it utilizes risk programs which use interest rate swaps to hedge the changes in debt fair values caused by fluctuations in benchmark interest rates. The Company also enters into forward contracts to hedge the variability of future benchmark interest rates on any planned bond issuances. These programs reduce but do not entirely eliminate interest rate risk.
Derivative Instruments
At June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the notional amounts of the Company’s outstanding derivatives were as follows:

(6)The Company entered into additional agreements with financial institutions to hedge cash flows associated with interest payments on upcoming financing activities.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company uses cross-currency swaps to hedge portions of the Company’s net investments denominated in Canadian dollars against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar. The changes in the fair value of these derivatives attributable to the changes in spot currency exchange rates and differences between spot and forward interest rates are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and offset foreign currency translation gains and losses recorded on the Company’s net investments denominated in Canadian dollars. To the extent cross-currency swaps designated as hedges are ineffective, changes in carrying value attributable to the change in spot rates are recorded in earnings.
In fiscal 2025, the Company expanded the net investment hedging program by entering into new cross-currency swaps and restructuring existing cross-currency swaps. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the outstanding notional amount of cross-currency swaps was C$6.5
Fair Value Hedges
The Company uses cross-currency swaps to hedge the changes in the fair value of its foreign currency notes resulting from changes in benchmark interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company also uses floating interest rate swaps to hedge the changes in the fair value of its U.S. dollar notes resulting from changes in benchmark interest rates. The changes in the fair value of these derivatives and the offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged notes are recorded in earnings. Gains and losses from the changes in the Company’s fair value hedges recorded in earnings were largely offset by the gains and losses recorded in earnings on the hedged item. For components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, the initial value of the excluded component is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss and then released into earnings over the life of the hedging instrument. The difference between the change in the fair value of the excluded component and the amount amortized into earnings during the period is recorded in other comprehensive loss.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses cross-currency swaps to hedge intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies to reduce the income statement effects arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company also uses forward contracts to hedge the variability of future benchmark interest rates on any planned bond issuances and to offset the potential income statement effects from obligations denominated in non-functional currencies. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of these hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in fair values representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings. There were no
The Company executed a series of forward-starting interest rate swap locks designated as cash flow hedges in fiscal 2025 with a notional amount of $850 million, and in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 with a notional amount of $550 million, for a total of $1.4 billion, to hedge the cash flows associated with upcoming financing activities. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company completed a public debt offering of the Notes, at which point the interest rate swap locks were terminated, and the proceeds will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the Notes. Refer to Financial Note 8, “Debt and Financing Activities,” for additional information on the public debt offering of the Notes.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are marked-to-market at the end of each accounting period with the change in fair value included in earnings. Changes in the fair values for contracts not designated as hedges are recorded directly into earnings within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did not enter into or have any outstanding derivative instruments not designated as hedges during the periods presented.

Refer to Financial Note 10, "Fair Value Measurements," for more information on these recurring fair value measurements.
10. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - significant other observable market-based inputs.
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists and requires considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 included the Company’s investments in money market funds of $242 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, which are reported at fair value. The fair value of money market funds was determined using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets, which are considered to be Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. The carrying value of all other cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to their relatively short-term nature.
Fair values of the Company’s interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts were determined using observable inputs from available market information, including quoted interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and other observable inputs from available market information. These inputs are considered Level 2 under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Refer to Financial Note 9, “Hedging Activities,” for fair values and other information on the Company’s derivatives.

The Company holds investments in equity and debt securities of U.S. growth stage companies that address both current and emerging business challenges in the healthcare industry and which had a carrying value of $111 million and $103 million at June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. These investments primarily consist of equity securities without readily determinable fair values and are included within “Other non-current assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net realized and unrealized gains and losses as well as impairment charges related to these investments were not material for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and $110 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, all of which are included within “Other income, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The net gain recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily related to a recapitalization event of one of the Company’s investments in equity securities which resulted in an increase to the carrying value of this investment. The Company recognized a net gain of $97 million related to this event and sold a portion of its investment for proceeds of $89 million.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company’s assets and liabilities are also subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges, including long-lived assets associated with the Company’s restructuring initiatives as discussed in more detail in Financial Note 3, “Restructuring, Impairment, and Related Charges, Net,” or as a result of charges to remeasure assets classified as held for sale to fair value less costs to sell.
At June 30, 2025, assets and liabilities related to the company’s acquisition of PRISM Vision and Core Ventures were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Refer to Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures.”
The aforementioned investments in equity securities of U.S. growth stage companies include the carrying value of investments without readily determinable fair values, which were determined using a measurement alternative and are recorded at cost less impairment, plus or minus any changes in observable price from orderly transactions of the same or similar security of the same issuer. These inputs related to changes in observable price are considered Level 2 under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Inputs related to impairments of investments are generally considered Level 3 fair value measurements due to their inherently unobservable nature based on significant assumptions by management and use of company-specific information.
There were no other material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
At June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the carrying amounts of cash, certain cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, drafts and accounts payable, and other current assets and liabilities approximated their estimated fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
The Company determines the fair value of commercial paper using quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments, which are considered Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance.
The Company’s long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost. The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was as follows:
| June 30, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (In millions) | Carrying Value | Fair Value | Carrying Value | Fair Value | |||||||||||||||||||
| Long-term debt, including current maturities | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was determined using quoted market prices in a less active market and other observable inputs from available market information, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future.

Goodwill
Fair value assessments of the reporting unit and the reporting unit's net assets, which are performed for goodwill impairment tests, are considered a Level 3 measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information. The Company considered a market approach as well as an income approach using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model to determine the fair value of each reporting unit.
Long-lived Assets
The Company utilizes multiple approaches, including the DCF model and market approaches, for estimating the fair value of intangible assets. The future cash flows used in the analysis are based on internal cash flow projections from its long-range plans and include significant assumptions by management. Accordingly, the fair value assessment of long-lived assets is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.
11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
In addition to commitments and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to a variety of claims and legal proceedings, including claims from customers and vendors, pending and potential legal actions for damages, governmental investigations, and other matters. The Company and its affiliates are parties to the legal claims and proceedings described below and in Financial Note 17 to the Company’s 2025, Annual Report, which disclosure is incorporated in this footnote by this reference. The Company is vigorously defending itself against those claims and in those proceedings. Significant developments in those matters are described below. If the Company is unsuccessful in defending, or if it determines to settle, any of these matters, it may be required to pay substantial sums, be subject to injunction and/or be forced to change how it operates its business, which could have a material adverse impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Unless otherwise stated, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the loss or a range of possible loss for the matters described below. Often, the Company is unable to determine that a loss is probable, or to reasonably estimate the amount of loss or a range of loss, for a claim because of the limited information available and the potential effects of future events and decisions by third parties, such as courts and regulators, that will determine the ultimate resolution of the claim. Many of the matters described are at preliminary stages, raise novel theories of liability, or seek an indeterminate amount of damages. It is not uncommon for claims to remain unresolved over many years. The Company reviews loss contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and whether it can make a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss. When the Company determines that a loss from a claim is probable and reasonably estimable, it records a liability for an estimated amount. The Company also provides disclosure when it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed its recorded liability. Amounts included within “Claims and litigation charges, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations consist of estimated loss contingencies related to opioid-related litigation matters, as well as any applicable income items or credit adjustments due to subsequent changes in estimates.
Litigation and Claims Involving Distribution of Controlled Substances
The Company and its affiliates have been sued as defendants in many cases asserting claims related to distribution of controlled substances, such as opioids. They have been named as defendants along with other pharmaceutical wholesale distributors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and retail pharmacies. The plaintiffs in these actions have included state attorneys general, county and municipal governments, school districts, tribal nations, hospitals, health and welfare funds, third-party payors, and individuals. These actions have been filed in state and federal courts throughout the U.S., and in Puerto Rico and Canada. These plaintiffs have sought monetary damages and other forms of relief based on a variety of causes of action, including negligence, public nuisance, unjust enrichment, and civil conspiracy, as well as alleging violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), state and federal controlled substances laws, and other statutes. Because of the many uncertainties associated with opioid-related litigation matters, the Company is not able to conclude that a liability is probable or provide a reasonable estimate for the range of ultimate possible loss for opioid-related litigation matters other than those for which an accrual is described below.

The Company and two other national pharmaceutical distributors (collectively “Distributors”) entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) and consent judgment with 48 states and their participating subdivisions, as well as the District of Columbia and all eligible territories (the “Settling Governmental Entities”). Approximately 2,300 cases have been dismissed. The Distributors did not admit liability or wrongdoing and do not waive any defenses pursuant to the Settlement. Under the Settlement, the Company has paid the Settling Governmental Entities approximately $2.0 billion as of June 30, 2025, and additionally will pay the Settling Governmental Entities up to approximately $5.9 billion through 2038. A minimum of 85 % of the Settlement payments must be used by state and local governmental entities to remediate the opioid epidemic, while the remainder relates to plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs and will be paid out through 2030. Pursuant to the Settlement, the Distributors are in the process of establishing a clearinghouse to consolidate their controlled-substance distribution data, which will be available to the settling U.S. states to use as part of their anti-diversion efforts.
Alabama and West Virginia did not participate in the Settlement. Under a separate settlement agreement with Alabama and its subdivisions, the Company has paid approximately $75 million as of June 30, 2025, and additionally will pay approximately $99 million through 2031. The Company previously settled with the state of West Virginia in 2018, so West Virginia and its subdivisions were not eligible to participate in the Settlement. Under a separate settlement agreement, the Company has paid certain West Virginia subdivisions approximately $68 million as of June 30, 2025, and additionally will pay approximately $84 million through 2033. That agreement does not include school districts or the claims of Cabell County and the City of Huntington. After a trial, the claims of Cabell County and the City of Huntington, were decided in the Company’s favor on July 4, 2022. Those subdivisions appealed that decision.
Some other state and local governmental subdivisions did not participate in the Settlement, including certain municipal governments, government hospitals, school districts, and government-affiliated third-party payors. The Company contends that those subdivisions’ claims are foreclosed by the Settlement or other dispositive defenses, but the subdivisions contend that their claims are not foreclosed.
The City of Baltimore, Maryland, is one such subdivision. A trial of its claims against the Company and another national pharmaceutical distributor began on September 16, 2024 in the Circuit Court of Maryland for Baltimore City, Mayor and City Council of Baltimore v. Purdue Pharma LP, No. 24-C-18-000515. Baltimore claims that the defendants’ distribution of controlled substances to certain pharmacies in the City of Baltimore and Baltimore County caused a public nuisance. On November 12, 2024, the jury returned a verdict finding the Company liable and assessing approximately $192 million in compensatory damages. On June 12, 2025, the court granted remittitur of the verdict, reducing compensatory damages against the Company to $37 million. Plaintiff must decide whether to accept the reduced damages or seek a new trial on the amount of damages. The court is also considering Plaintiff’s request for additional “abatement” relief and it has indicated that it will issue a decision before the Plaintiff must decide whether to seek a new trial. If the Plaintiff chooses a new trial, then the court may revisit the proper amount of abatement relief. The Company believes it has valid bases to challenge the verdict and any abatement award, and is prepared to appeal. Because of the many bases to challenge the verdict on appeal, the Company has not adjusted its litigation reserve as a result of the court’s entry of judgment.
The district attorneys of the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Allegheny County, Pennsylvania did not participate in the Settlement and sought to bring separate claims against the Company, notwithstanding the settlement with the state of Pennsylvania and its attorney general. On January 26, 2024, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania ruled that the Pennsylvania attorney general had settled and fully released the claims brought by those district attorneys under Pennsylvania’s Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. The district attorneys have appealed that decision to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. An accrual for the remaining governmental subdivision claims is reflected in the total estimated liability for opioid-related claims in a manner consistent with how Settlement amounts were allocated to Settling Governmental Entities.
Native American Tribe Claims
The Company also entered into settlement agreements for opioid-related claims of federally recognized Native American tribes. Under those agreements, the Company has paid the settling Native American tribes approximately $112 million as of June 30, 2025, and additionally will pay approximately $84 million through 2027. A minimum of 85 % of the total settlement payments must be used by the settling Native American tribes to remediate the opioid epidemic.

Non-Governmental Plaintiff Claims
The Company has also been a defendant in hundreds of opioid-related cases brought in the U.S. by private plaintiffs, such as hospitals, health and welfare funds, third-party payors, and individuals. These claims, and those of private entities generally, are not included in the settlement agreements described above. The Company and two other national distributors have reached class-action settlements with representatives of nationwide groups of acute care hospitals and certain third-party payors. The claims of remaining U.S. non-governmental plaintiffs are not included in the charges recorded by the Company (described below).
With respect to the acute care hospitals, for the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a charge of $149 million within “Claims and litigation charges, net” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations to reflect its portion of a settlement with a nationwide class of acute care hospitals. The corresponding liability was included within “Other accrued liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. On October 30, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico granted preliminary approval to the proposed settlement, pursuant to which the Company placed approximately $149 million into escrow on November 27, 2024. On March 4, 2025, the Court granted final approval to the settlement, which became effective on April 4, 2025. The escrow payment was presented as restricted cash within “Prepaid expenses and other” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2025.
With respect to the third-party payors, for the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a charge of $114 million within “Claims and litigation charges, net” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations to reflect the Company’s portion of the settlement with representatives of a nationwide group of certain third-party payors, of which $57 million was recorded within Corporate expenses, net and U.S. Pharmaceutical, respectively. The corresponding liability was included within “Other accrued liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. On January 15, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio overruled objections and approved the settlement, pursuant to which the Company placed approximately $114 million into escrow on February 12, 2025. Objections to the settlement have been resolved, and the settlement is currently pending final approval by the district court. The escrow payment was presented as restricted cash within “Prepaid expenses and other” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2025.
The Company’s estimated accrued liability for the above-described opioid-related claims of U.S. governmental entities, including Native American tribes, and certain non-governmental plaintiffs, including a settlement with certain third-party payors and a nationwide class of acute care hospitals, was as follows:
| (In millions) | June 30, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | |||||||||
Current litigation liabilities (1) | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Long-term litigation liabilities | |||||||||||
| Total litigation liabilities | $ | $ | |||||||||
(1)These amounts, recorded within “Other accrued liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are the amounts estimated to be paid within the next twelve months following each respective period end date.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company made no payments associated with the Settlement and the separate settlement agreements for opioid-related claims of participating states, subdivisions, and Native American tribes discussed above.
In July 2025, the Company made payments totaling $497 million associated with the Settlement and the separate settlement agreements for opioid-related claims of participating states, subdivisions, and Native American tribes.
Canadian Plaintiff Claims
The Company and its Canadian affiliate are also defendants in four opioid-related cases pending in Canada. These cases involve the claims of the provincial governments, municipal governments, a group representing indigenous people, as well as

Defense of Opioids Claims
The Company believes it has valid legal defenses in all opioid-related matters, including claims not covered by settlement agreements, and it intends to mount a vigorous defense in such matters. Other than the accruals described above, the Company has not concluded a loss is probable in any of the matters; nor is any possible loss or range of loss reasonably estimable. An adverse judgment or negotiated resolution in any of these matters could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or liquidity, or results of operations.
Other Litigation and Claims
On or about April 25, 2018, a second amended qui tam complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York was served on McKesson Corporation, McKesson Specialty Care Distribution Corporation, McKesson Specialty Distribution LLC, McKesson Specialty Care Distribution Joint Venture, L.P., Oncology Therapeutics Network Corporation, Oncology Therapeutics Network Joint Venture, L.P., US Oncology, Inc., and US Oncology Specialty, L.P. by Omni Healthcare, Inc. as relator, purportedly on behalf of the United States and 33 cities and states alleging that from 2001 through 2010 the defendants repackaged and sold single-dose syringes of oncology medications in a manner that violated the federal False Claims Act and various state and local false claims statutes, and seeking damages, treble damages, civil penalties, attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, all in unspecified amounts. United States of America ex rel. Omni Healthcare, Inc. v. McKesson Corp., et al., 1:12-cv-06440 (E.D.N.Y.). The United States and the other governmental plaintiffs declined to intervene in the suit. In February 2019, the court dismissed all of the defendants except McKesson Corporation and Oncology Therapeutics Network Corp. On or about March 2, 2020, another qui tam complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York was served on US Oncology, Inc. by the same relator purportedly on behalf of the United States and 33 cities and states alleging the same misconduct and seeking the same relief. United States ex rel. Omni Healthcare, Inc. v. US Oncology, Inc., 1:19-cv-05125. The United States and the named states declined to intervene in the case. Relator filed an amended complaint on August 19, 2022. On September 8, 2023, US Oncology, Inc.’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint was granted. The dismissal was affirmed by the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on November 12, 2024. On March 27, 2025, the relator filed a petition seeking review by the U.S. Supreme Court, which was denied.
On May 17, 2013, the Company was served with a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned True Health Chiropractic Inc., et al. v. McKesson Corporation, et al., No. CV-13-02219 (HG), later amended to include McLaughlin Chiropractic Associates, Inc. as a named plaintiff. The plaintiffs alleged that McKesson and a subsidiary sent unsolicited marketing faxes in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, as amended by the Junk Fax Protection Act of 2005. The district court initially certified a class, but later de-certified it, leaving only the two named plaintiffs. The court awarded $6,500 in statutory damages and denied treble damages. The Ninth Circuit affirmed. On June 20, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Ninth Circuit’s decision and remanded the case for reconsideration of class certification, but did not disturb the ruling denying treble damages, which is now final. The Company believes that any remaining potential liability is not material.
Government Subpoenas and Investigations
From time to time, the Company receives subpoenas or requests for information from various government agencies. The Company generally responds to such subpoenas and requests in a cooperative, thorough, and timely manner. These responses sometimes require time and effort and can result in considerable costs being incurred by the Company. Such subpoenas and requests can lead to the assertion of claims or the commencement of civil or criminal legal proceedings against the Company and other members of the healthcare industry, as well as to settlements of claims against the Company. The Company responds to these requests in the ordinary course of business.
State Opioid Statutes
In April 2018, the State of New York Opioid Stewardship Act (“OSA”) imposed an aggregate $100 26 million for the 2017 OSA surcharge assessment. On May 18, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit in New York state trial court challenging the constitutionality of the OSA. In November 2022, the Company received a 2018 OSA surcharge assessment of approximately $42 million. On December 14, 2022, the state court ruled that the OSA is constitutional. The Appellate Division subsequently ruled that the 2017 assessment was unconstitutional, but that the 2018

assessment was proper. The Company has paid $42 million for the 2018 OSA surcharge assessment. On March 31, 2025, the State of New York agreed to pay the Company $28 million to settle the matter. On May 9, 2025, the State of New York’s Fiscal Year 2026 budget was signed into law, which included appropriations for the payment. The recovery was recorded within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and the corresponding receivable was included within “Receivables, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Antitrust Settlements
During the first fiscal quarter of 2026, the Company received proceeds of $8 million related to its share of antitrust settlements. The lawsuits were filed against a brand manufacturer alleging that the manufacturer, by itself or in concert with others, took improper actions to delay or prevent generic drugs from entering the market. The Company was not a named party to either litigation but was a member of the representative classes of those who purchased directly from the pharmaceutical manufacturer. The Company recognized a gain in that amount within "Cost of sales" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 related to the settlements.
12. Stockholders' Deficit
Each share of the Company’s outstanding common stock is permitted one vote on proposals presented to stockholders and is entitled to participate equally in any dividends declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
On July 29, 2025, the Company raised its quarterly dividend from $0.71 to $0.82 per share of common stock. The Company anticipates that it will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment and amount of future dividends remain within the discretion of the Board and will depend upon the Company's future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, legal requirements, and other factors.
Share Repurchase Plans
The Board has authorized the repurchase of common stock. The Company may repurchase common stock from time-to-time through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, or by combinations of such methods, any of which may use pre-arranged trading plans that are designed to meet the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, tax implications, restrictions under the Company’s debt obligations, other uses for capital, impacts on the value of remaining shares, cash generated from operations, and market and economic conditions.
Excise taxes of $2 million and $1 million were accrued for shares repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. On October 30, 2024, the company made a payment of $25 million for fiscal 2024 excise taxes previously accrued. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the amount accrued for excise taxes was $28 million and $26 million within “Other accrued liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

13. Segments of Business
The Company reports its financial results in four reportable segments: U.S. Pharmaceutical, RxTS, Medical-Surgical Solutions, and International. The organizational structure also includes Corporate, which consists of income and expenses associated with administrative functions and projects, and the results of certain investments. The factors for determining the reportable segments include the manner in which management evaluates the performance of the Company combined with the nature of the individual business activities. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments on a number of measures, including revenues and operating profit before interest expense and income taxes.

(UNAUDITED)
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses operating profit before interest expense and income taxes to assess performance and allocate resources for each reportable segment during the Company’s annual long-term planning process and through quarterly operating reviews focused on each segment’s results compared to the budget and rolling forecast. The CODM is regularly provided with budgeted or forecasted expense information for the segment and also uses consolidated expense information. Assets by segment are not a measure used to assess the performance of the Company by the CODM and thus are not reported in our disclosures.
The U.S. Pharmaceutical segment distributes branded, generic, specialty, biosimilar and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs, and other healthcare-related products in the U.S. This segment also provides practice management, technology, clinical support, and business solutions to community-based oncology and other specialty practices. In addition, the segment sells financial, operational, and clinical solutions to pharmacies (retail, hospital, alternate sites) and provides consulting, outsourcing, technological, and other services.
The RxTS segment helps solve medication access, affordability, and adherence challenges for patients by working across healthcare to connect patients, pharmacies, providers, pharmacy benefit managers, health plans, and biopharma companies. RxTS serves our biopharma and life sciences partners, delivering innovative solutions that help people get the medicine they need to live healthier lives. RxTS offers technology services, which includes electronic prior authorization, prescription price transparency, benefit insight, and dispensing support services, in addition to third-party logistics and wholesale distribution support designed to benefit stakeholders.
The Medical-Surgical Solutions segment provides medical-surgical supply distribution, logistics, and other services to healthcare providers, including physician offices, surgery centers, nursing homes, hospital reference labs, and home health care agencies. This segment offers national brand medical-surgical products as well as McKesson’s own line of high-quality products through a network of distribution centers in the U.S. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company announced its intention to separate this segment into an independent company.
The International segment includes the Company’s operations in Canada and Norway, bringing together non-U.S.-based drug distribution services, specialty pharmacy, retail, and infusion care services. The Company’s Canadian operations deliver medicines, supplies, and information technology solutions throughout Canada. During fiscal 2025, the Company completed the previously announced transaction to sell the Canadian retail disposal group. Refer to Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures,” for more information. The Company’s Norwegian operations provide distribution and services to wholesale and retail customers in Norway where it owns, partners, or franchises with retail pharmacies.

The following summarizes our four reportable segments. Refer to Financial Note 13, “Segments of Business,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further information regarding our reportable segments.
•U.S. Pharmaceutical is a reportable segment that distributes branded, generic, specialty, biosimilar, and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs and other healthcare-related products in the United States (“U.S.”). This segment also provides practice management, technology, clinical support, and business solutions to community-based oncology and other specialty practices. In addition, the segment sells financial, operational, and clinical solutions to pharmacies (retail, hospital, alternate sites) and provides consulting, outsourcing, technological, and other services.
•Prescription Technology Solutions is a reportable segment that combines automation and our ability to navigate the healthcare ecosystem to connect patients, pharmacies, providers, pharmacy benefit managers, health plans, and biopharma companies to address patients’ medication access, affordability, and adherence challenges.

Trends and Uncertainties:
Opioid-Related Litigation and Claims
As described in the discussion of opioid-related matters in Financial Note 11, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, we are a defendant in many legal proceedings asserting claims related to the distribution of controlled substances (opioids) in federal and state courts throughout the U.S., and in Puerto Rico and Canada. Other than as to the settlements described in Financial Note 11, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,”, we have not concluded a loss is probable in any of the matters; nor is any possible loss or range of loss reasonably estimable. An adverse judgment or negotiated resolution in any of these matters could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, cash flows or liquidity, or results of operations.
Rite Aid Bankruptcy Proceedings
In fiscal 2024, Rite Aid filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, leading to a $725 million provision for bad debts related to uncollected trade accounts receivables. Following Rite Aid’s successful emergence from bankruptcy in August 2024, we reassessed our initial estimates resulting in a $206 million reversal of previously recorded expenses in fiscal 2025, recorded within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and included within our U.S. Pharmaceutical segment. During fiscal 2025,

(UNAUDITED)
we also released $237 million of allowance for doubtful accounts against trade accounts receivables, representing the write-off of uncollectible receivables related to the Rite Aid provision in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On May 5, 2025, Rite Aid filed a second voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result, we recorded an additional provision for bad debts of $189 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, for the remaining trade accounts receivable balances due from Rite Aid prior to its bankruptcy filing.
We believe the reserves maintained and expenses and credits recorded to date for Rite Aid trade accounts receivable are appropriate and consistent with our accounting policy and assessment of the information currently available. We evaluate our reserves periodically and as circumstances warrant. This may result in changes to our reserves. For additional disclosure of our policy regarding allowances for credit losses, refer to the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section within Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II of our 2025 Annual Report.

Revenues
Revenues increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same prior year period largely due to market growth in our U.S. Pharmaceutical segment, including higher volumes largely from retail national account customers and growth in specialty pharmaceuticals. Market growth includes growing drug utilization and newly launched products, partially offset by branded to generic drug conversion.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same prior year period primarily in our U.S. Pharmaceutical segment driven by growth of specialty pharmaceuticals and retail national account customers, partially offset by a decrease from net cash proceeds received representing our share of antitrust legal settlements in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the same prior year period. Gross Profit was also driven by higher volumes in our Prescription Technology Solutions segment and unfavorably impacted by a decline in our International segment driven by the completed divestiture of our Canadian retail disposal group.
We recognized gains of $8 million and $90 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to our share of antitrust legal settlements. We recognized these amounts within "Cost of sales" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within our U.S. Pharmaceutical segment.
Total Operating Expenses
A summary of the components of our total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:
•Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses (“SDG&A”): consists of personnel costs, transportation costs, depreciation and amortization, lease costs, professional fee expenses, administrative expenses, provision for bad debts and related recoveries, remeasurement charges to fair value less costs to sell, and other general charges.
•Claims and litigation charges, net: These charges include adjustments for estimated probable settlements related to our 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. Legal fees to defend claims, which are expensed as incurred, are included within SDG&A.
•Restructuring, impairment, and related charges, net: Charges recorded under this component include those 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.

•SDG&A for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was impacted by higher operating expenses related to the acquisitions completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2026, as discussed in more detail in Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report;
•SDG&A for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was impacted by lower operating expenses from the completed divestiture of our Canadian retail disposal group in fiscal 2025, as discussed in more detail in Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report;
•Claims and litigation charges, net were nil for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and primarily consists of a charge of $114 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 related to our estimated liability for opioid-related claims as previously discussed in the Opioid-Related Litigation and Claims section of “Trends and Uncertainties;” and
•Restructuring, impairment, and related charges, net were $47 million and $10 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, as discussed below under “Restructuring Initiatives.”
Goodwill Impairment
We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the first fiscal quarter, and at an interim date if indicators of potential impairment exist. The annual impairment testing performed in fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 did not indicate any impairment of goodwill, and no goodwill impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. However, other risks, expenses, and future developments, such as government actions, increased regulatory uncertainty, and material changes in key market assumptions limit our ability to estimate projected cash flows, which could adversely affect the fair value of various reporting units in future periods.
For additional disclosure of our policy regarding goodwill, refer to the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section within Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II of our 2025 Annual Report.
Restructuring Initiatives
We recorded restructuring, impairment, and related charges of $47 million and $10 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These charges were included in “Restructuring, impairment, and related charges, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we approved enterprise-wide initiatives to modernize and accelerate our technology service operating model, which were intended to improve business continuity, compliance, operating efficiency and advance investments to streamline the organization. These initiatives include cost reduction efforts and support other rationalization efforts within Corporate, and the Medical-Surgical Solutions, and U.S. Pharmaceutical segments to help realize long-term sustainable growth. We anticipate total charges related to these initiatives of $650 million to $700 million, consisting primarily of employee severance and other employee-related costs as well as facility, exit and other related costs, including long-lived asset impairments. These programs are anticipated to be substantially complete in fiscal 2028. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded charges of $38 million related to the initiatives, which primarily includes severance and other employee-related costs as well as facility exit and other related costs, including long-lived asset impairments.
Refer to Financial Note 3, “Restructuring, Impairment, and Related Charges, Net,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further information on our restructuring initiatives.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a prior year net gain of $110 million related to our investments in equity securities of certain U.S. growth stage companies in the healthcare industry, partially offset by a prior year loss of $43 million related to one of our equity method investments, and a favorable impact from interest income.

Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to changes in our derivative portfolio in fiscal 2026 and increased capitalized interest from higher capital spending, partially offset by interest from increased average balances of the Company’s loan portfolio in fiscal 2026. Interest expense may fluctuate based on timing, amounts, and interest rates of term debt repaid and new term debt issued, as well as amounts incurred associated with financing fees. Refer to Financial Note 8, “Debt and Financing Activities,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information.
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded income tax expense of $220 million and $124 million, respectively. Our reported income tax rates were 20.9% and 11.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Fluctuations in our reported income tax rates are primarily due to changes in our business mix of earnings between various taxing jurisdictions and discrete tax items recognized in the quarters. Refer to Financial Note 4, “Income Taxes,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law, introducing modifications to various U.S. federal tax provisions. We are currently evaluating the potential implications of the legislation. Based on preliminary analysis, we do not expect the provisions of the OBBBA to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended June 30, 2025 primarily represents the proportionate results of third-party equity interests in ClarusONE Sourcing Services LLP, Vantage Oncology Holdings, LLC, and SCRI Oncology, LLC.
Noncontrolling interests with redemption features, such as put rights, that are not solely within our control are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized redeemable noncontrolling interests of $700 million and $25 million related to our acquisitions of Core Ventures and PRISM Vision, respectively. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented outside of stockholders’ deficit in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to the “Selected Measures of Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this Financial Review and Financial Note 5, “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information on changes to our redeemable and noncontrolling interests during the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
Net Income Attributable to McKesson Corporation
Net income attributable to McKesson Corporation was $784 million and $915 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Diluted earnings per common share attributable to McKesson Corporation was $6.25 and $7.00 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our diluted earnings per share includes the cumulative effects of share repurchases during each period.
Weighted-Average Diluted Common Shares Outstanding
Diluted earnings per common share was calculated based on a weighted-average number of shares outstanding of 125.5 million and 130.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased from the same prior year period primarily due to the cumulative effect of share repurchases, as discussed in the “Share Repurchases Plans” section of this Financial Review.

U.S. Pharmaceutical
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs. 2024
Operating profit for this segment decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a provision for bad debts of $189 million related to the bankruptcy of Rite Aid, a decrease from net cash proceeds received in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the same prior year period representing our share of antitrust legal settlements, and an increase in operating expenses to support higher volumes. These decreases are partially offset by growth in specialty pharmaceuticals and retail national account customers, a prior year charge of $57 million related to our estimated liability for opioid-related claims, and a prior year loss related to one of our equity method investments.
Prescription Technology Solutions
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs. 2024
Operating profit for this segment increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same prior year period driven by increased volumes primarily from growth in our technology services.
Medical-Surgical Solutions
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs. 2024
Operating profit for this segment increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to lower expenses resulting from business rationalization initiatives, partially offset by a decline in the contribution from our primary care business, and higher restructuring charges.
International
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs. 2024
Operating profit for this segment remained flat for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same prior year period largely due to higher pharmaceutical distribution volumes across the segment offset by the completed divestiture of our Canadian retail disposal group, as discussed in Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Corporate Expenses, Net
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs. 2024
Corporate expenses, net increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to prior year gains related to our investments in equity securities of certain U.S. growth stage companies in the healthcare industry, higher restructuring charges compared to prior year, partially offset by lower litigation charges in the current year compared to prior year.

We expect our available cash generated from operations and our short-term investment portfolio, together with our existing sources of liquidity from our credit facilities, commercial paper program, and other borrowings will be sufficient to fund our short-term and long-term capital expenditures, working capital, and other cash requirements. We remain adequately capitalized, including access to liquidity from our $4.0 billion revolving credit facility and $1.0 billion 364-day credit facility. At June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all debt covenants, and believe we have the ability to continue to meet our debt covenants in the future.
The following table summarizes the net change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash for the periods shown:

Operating Activities
Operating activities used cash of $918 million and $1.4 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash flows from operations can be significantly impacted by factors such as the timing of receipts from customers, inventory receipts, and payments to vendors. Additionally, working capital is primarily a function of sales and purchase volumes, inventory requirements, and vendor payment terms.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used by operating activities decreased by $462 million compared to the same prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the following:
•the Company’s net income decreased by $129 million and was favorably impacted by higher net non-cash items of $231 million, compared to the same prior year period driven by factors discussed in more detail in the “Overview of Consolidated Results” section of this Financial Review;
•a decrease in cash of $2.7 billion related to accounts payable as a result of customary vendor payment scheduling, offset by an increase in cash of $2.5 billion due to lower inventory requirements during the period; and
•an increase in cash driven by lower income tax payments in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the prior year.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $3.6 billion and $87 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2025 includes $3.4 billion of net cash payments for acquisitions, including $2.5 billion and $874 million for the acquisitions of Core Ventures and PRISM Vision, respectively, as discussed in further detail in Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report. Investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 includes $189 million and $167 million, respectively, in capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment and capitalized software.
Investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was also impacted by the receipt of proceeds of $89 million related to the sale of equity securities, as discussed in Financial Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Financing Activities
Financing activities provided cash of $1.2 billion and used cash of $809 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which includes $581 million and $527 million of cash paid for share repurchases, respectively, as well as $90 million and $82 million of cash paid for dividends, respectively.
On May 30, 2025, we completed a public debt offering of 4.65% Notes due May 30, 2030 in a principal amount of $650 million, 4.95% Notes due May 30, 2032 in a principal amount of $650 million, and 5.25% Notes due May 30, 2035 in a principal amount of $700 million, for total proceeds received, net of discounts and debt offering expenses, of $2.0 billion. The net proceeds from these notes were utilized to fund the purchase of Core Ventures. Refer to Financial Note 8, “Debt and Financing Activities,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 also includes cash receipts and cash payments of $1.4 billion related to short-term borrowings of commercial paper.
Cash used for other financing activities generally includes the cash value of shares surrendered for tax withholding and payments to noncontrolling interests.
Share Repurchase Plans
The Board has authorized the repurchase of common stock. We may repurchase common stock from time-to-time through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, or by combinations of such methods, any of which may use pre-arranged trading plans that are designed to meet the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including our stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, tax implications, restrictions under our debt obligations, other uses for capital, impacts on the value of remaining shares, cash generated from operations, and market and economic conditions.
Excise taxes of $2 million and $1 million were accrued for shares repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. On October 30, 2024, we made a payment of $25 million for fiscal 2024 excise taxes previously accrued. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the amount accrued for excise taxes was $28 million and $26 million within “Other accrued liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

Selected Measures of Liquidity and Capital Resources
| (Dollars in millions) | June 30, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | ||||||||||||
| Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $ | 2,683 | $ | 5,956 | ||||||||||
| Working capital | (7,530) | (6,206) | ||||||||||||
Debt to capital ratio (1) | 115.9 | % | 125.3 | % | ||||||||||
(1)This ratio describes the relationship and changes within our capital resources, and is computed as the sum of total debt divided by the sum of total debt and McKesson stockholders’ deficit, which excludes noncontrolling interests and accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Cash equivalents, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, are carried at fair value. Cash equivalents are primarily invested in AAA-rated U.S. government money market funds, short-term deposits with financial institutions, and short-term commercial papers issued by non-financial institutions. Deposits with financial institutions are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars and the functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries, including Canadian dollars. Deposits could exceed the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the U.S. and similar deposit insurance programs in other jurisdictions. We mitigate the risk of our short-term investment portfolio by depositing funds with reputable financial institutions and monitoring risk profiles and investment strategies of money market funds.
Our cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 included approximately $2.3 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively, of cash held by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. Our primary intent is to utilize this cash for foreign operations for an indefinite period of time. Although the majority of cash held outside the U.S. is available for repatriation, doing so could subject us to foreign withholding taxes and state income taxes. We may remit foreign earnings to the U.S. to the extent it is tax efficient to do so. We do not anticipate the tax impact from remitting these earnings to be material. Following enactment of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the repatriation of cash to the U.S. is generally no longer taxable for federal income tax purposes.
Working capital primarily includes cash and cash equivalents, receivables, inventories, and prepaid expenses, net of drafts and accounts payable, short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term debt, current portion of operating lease liabilities, and other accrued liabilities. Our businesses require substantial investments in working capital that are susceptible to large variations during the year as a result of inventory purchase patterns and seasonal demands. Inventory purchase activity is a function of sales activity and other requirements.
Consolidated working capital decreased at June 30, 2025 compared to March 31, 2025 primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, an increase in drafts and accounts payable from increased purchasing driven by increased sales and timing, an increase in current portion of long term debt, and an increase in other accrued liabilities. These were partially offset by an increase in receivables, net and inventories, net, driven by higher sales and timing.
Our debt to capital ratio decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to net income attributable to McKesson for the quarter and issuance of new long-term debt, partially offset by share repurchases and dividend payments.
On July 29, 2025, we raised our quarterly dividend from $0.71 to $0.82 per share of common stock. We anticipate that we will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment and amount of future dividends remain within the discretion of the Board and will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, legal requirements, and other factors.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
At June 30, 2025, we recognized redeemable noncontrolling interests of $25 million and $700 million related to our acquisition of 80% of PRISM Vision and 70% of Core Ventures, respectively. The balance of redeemable noncontrolling interests is reported at the greater of its carrying value or its maximum redemption value at each reporting date. The 30% minority interest retained by FCS is classified as redeemable noncontrolling interest, with a put option exercisable every five years, subject to a floor of 75% of initial fair value. Refer to Financial Note 5, “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information on redeemable noncontrolling interests.

Capital Resources
We fund our working capital requirements primarily with cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from short-term borrowings from our commercial paper issuances, and longer-term credit agreements and debt offerings. Funds necessary for future debt maturities and our other cash requirements, including any future payments that may be made related to our total estimated litigation liability of $6.4 billion as of June 30, 2025 payable under the terms of various settlement agreements for opioid-related claims, are expected to be met by existing cash balances, cash flow from operations, existing credit sources, and future borrowings. Long-term debt markets and commercial paper markets, our primary sources of capital after cash flow from operations, are open and accessible to us should we decide to access those markets. Detailed information regarding our debt and financing activities is included in Financial Note 7, “Debt and Financing Activities,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
We believe that our future operating cash flow, financial assets, and access to capital and credit markets, including our credit facilities, give us the ability to meet our financing needs for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that an increase in volatility or disruption in the global capital and credit markets will not impair our liquidity or increase our costs of borrowing.
