“McKesson delivered a strong finish to fiscal 2020, reflecting continued momentum in the business and meaningful progress in our transformation towards becoming a more focused organization as we look to capture future growth opportunities,” said Brian Tyler, chief executive offer. “During fiscal 2020, we achieved adjusted operating profit growth in all three operating segments, generated $3.9 billion of free cash flow, and successfully completed the exit of our investment in Change Healthcare.”

“As we enter fiscal 2021, McKesson is leveraging our expertise, leadership and scale to play a critical role in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic,” Mr. Tyler continued. “We continue to remain focused on supporting our people, our customers and our communities during this challenging time. I want to thank caregivers worldwide for their heroic efforts and acknowledge the entire McKesson team, particularly our frontline workers, for their extraordinary dedication. Despite the uncertainties in the near-term macro environment, we remain confident in the resiliency of our business model and committed to creating long-term shareholder value.”

Fourth-quarter revenues were $58.5 billion, up 12%, and full-year revenues were $231.1 billion, up 8%, driven by growth in the U.S. Pharmaceutical and Specialty Solutions segment, largely due to branded pharmaceutical price increases and higher volumes from retail national account customers.

Fourth-quarter earnings per diluted share of $5.82 included an after-tax gain of $414 million, recognized upon the separation of the company’s investment in Change Healthcare LLC (“Change Healthcare”). Full-year earnings per diluted share of $4.99 also included after-tax impairment and dilution charges of $1 billion related to Change Healthcare and after-tax charges of $275 million within our European Pharmaceutical Solutions segment for the remeasurement to fair value of assets and liabilities held for sale related to the expected formation of a new German wholesale joint venture with Walgreens Boots Alliance.

Fourth-quarter Adjusted Earnings per diluted share was $4.27 compared to $3.69 a year ago, an increase of 16%, primarily driven by a lower share count and growth in the European Pharmaceutical Solutions segment. Full-year Adjusted Earnings per diluted share was $14.95 compared to $13.57 a year ago, an increase of 10%, primarily driven by a lower share count and growth in the U.S. Pharmaceutical and Specialty Solutions and Medical Surgical segments, partially offset by higher corporate expenses and the lapping of a prior year pre-tax benefit of $90 million related to a reversal of a contractual liability associated with McKesson’s investment in Change Healthcare.

For the full year, McKesson returned $2.2 billion of cash to shareholders via $1.9 billion of common stock repurchases and $294 million of dividend payments. During the fiscal year, McKesson generated cash from operations of $4.4 billion, and invested $506 million internally, resulting in free cash flow of $3.9 billion.

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 Earnings, 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, gains from antitrust legal settlements, 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

Except for historical information contained in this press release, matters discussed may constitute “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, that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in those statements. It is not possible to identify all such risks and uncertainties. The reader 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, the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of terminology such as “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “seeks”, “approximately”, “intends”, “plans”, “estimates” or the negative of these words or other comparable terminology. The discussion of financial trends, strategy, plans, assumptions or intentions may also include forward-looking statements. We encourage investors to read the important risk factors described in the company’s Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These risk factors include, but are not limited to: we experience costly and disruptive legal disputes, including legal disputes, government actions and adverse publicity regarding our role in distributing controlled substances such as opioids; we might experience losses not covered by insurance; we are subject to extensive, complex and challenging healthcare, controlled substance, privacy, anti-corruption and other laws; we might record significant charges from impairment to goodwill, intangibles and other assets or investments; we experience cybersecurity incidents and might experience significant computer system compromises or data breaches or other significant problems with information systems or networks, including as an effect of our employees working from remote locations due to the COVID-19 pandemic; 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 unable to successfully recruit and retain qualified employees; we might be adversely impacted by healthcare reform such as changes in pricing and reimbursement models; we might be adversely impacted by competition and industry consolidation; we might be adversely impacted by changes or disruptions in product supply and we may have difficulties in sourcing or selling products due to a variety of causes, such as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on supply chains; we might be adversely impacted as a result of our distribution of generic pharmaceuticals; we might be adversely impacted, including as an effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, by an economic slowdown or recession and by disruption in capital and credit markets might impede our access credit, increase our borrowing costs and impair the financial soundness of our customers and suppliers; we might be adversely impacted by tax legislation or challenges to our tax positions, and we might not realize the expected tax treatment from our split-off of Change Healthcare; we might be adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, including volatility due to the COVID-19 pandemic; we might be adversely impacted by events outside of our control, such as widespread public health issues (including the COVID-19 pandemic), natural disasters, political events and other catastrophic events.

Because we show the GAAP to Non-GAAP per share reconciling items on a fully diluted basis, any cross-footing differences in those items are due to different weighted average share counts.

These charges are included in the reconciliation of McKesson's GAAP financial results to Adjusted Earnings (Non-GAAP) provided in Schedule 2A and Schedule 2B of the accompanying financial statement tables.

("SpinCo") which held all of McKesson's interest in Change Healthcare and a merger of SpinCo with and into Change Healthcare, Inc. ("Change"). McKesson no longer holds an interest in any securities of Change Healthcare or Change following the transactions. After the separation, Change Healthcare is required under an agreement to pay McKesson 85% of the net cash tax savings realized, or so deemed, from the depreciation or amortization allocated to Change by McKesson. The receipt of any payments from this agreement is dependent upon Change benefiting from this depreciation or amortization in future tax return filings, which creates uncertainty such that McKesson accounts for the agreement as a gain contingency.

McKESSON CORPORATION

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

Adjusted Earnings (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Earnings as GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to McKesson, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, restructuring, impairment and related charges, other adjustments as well as the related income tax effects for each of these items, as applicable. The Company evaluates its definition of Adjusted Earnings on a periodic basis and updates the definition from time to time. The evaluation considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the Company’s presentation of Adjusted Earnings. A reconciliation of McKesson’s GAAP financial results to Adjusted Earnings (Non-GAAP) is provided in Schedules 2 and 3 of the financial statement tables included with this release. 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. LIFO inventory-related adjustments - LIFO inventory-related non-cash expense or credit adjustments. 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 Earnings. 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 Earnings from time to time. While not all-inclusive, other adjustments may include: adjustments to claim and litigation reserves for estimated probable losses and settlements; other asset impairments; certain discrete benefits and subsequent true-up adjustments related to the December 2017 enactment of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; gains or losses from debt extinguishment; and other similar substantive and/or infrequent items as deemed appropriate. Prior to fiscal 2020, this category also included certain gains or losses from divestitures of businesses that did not qualify as discontinued operations. Income taxes on Adjusted Earnings are calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, “Income Taxes,” which is the same accounting principle used by the Company when presenting its GAAP financial results. Additionally, the Company's investment in Change Healthcare Joint Venture's financial results are adjusted for the above noted items, except for the effect of potentially dilutive securities issued by the joint venture on our adjusted earnings per diluted share. FX-Adjusted (Non-GAAP): McKesson also presents its financial results 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 Earnings (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. Specifically, Adjusted Earnings serves as one of the measures management utilizes when allocating resources, deploying capital and assessing business performance and employee incentive compensation. The Company conducts its businesses internationally in local currencies, including Euro, British pound sterling and Canadian dollars. 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 financial results and related 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.
