“Our notable performance in fiscal 2021 reflects the continued momentum in our businesses and is a testament to the leadership role McKesson plays in the healthcare supply chain. McKesson’s differentiated capabilities make us the partner of choice for our customers and government entities in their COVID-19 response efforts. I am proud of our employees and what we have accomplished together,” said Brian Tyler, chief executive officer. “Despite the dynamic macro environment, the business demonstrated strong execution as we grew Adjusted Earnings per diluted share by 15%. These results allowed us to generate $3.9 billion of Free Cash Flow.”

“As we enter fiscal 2022, our top priorities remain the safety of our employees, the success of our customers, and fulfilling our leadership responsibility as the centralized distributor of COVID-19 vaccines and ancillary supplies in the U.S.,” Mr. Tyler continued. “We have positioned the business for long-term growth through strategic investments in the areas of oncology and biopharma services and successful transformation of our operating model. Our accomplishments in fiscal 2021 are the foundation for the future and we remain confident in our ability to create long-term value for our shareholders.”

Fourth-quarter revenues were $59.1 billion, up 1% from a year ago, driven by market growth and higher volumes from retail national account customers in the U.S. Pharmaceutical segment, partially offset by the prior year acceleration in demand driven by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Full-year revenues were $238.2 billion, up 3% from a year ago, driven by growth in the U.S. Pharmaceutical segment, largely due to market growth and higher specialty volumes, partially offset by branded to generic conversions.

Fourth-quarter earnings per diluted share from continuing operations was $4.15 compared to $5.82 a year ago, a decrease of 29%. Full-year loss per diluted share from continuing operations of ($28.26) included a pre-tax $8.1 billion expense accrual related to the estimated liability for opioid-related claims. This charge was taken in the company’s third-quarter and is not included in full-year Adjusted Earnings per diluted share.

Fourth-quarter Adjusted Earnings per diluted share was $5.05 compared to $4.27 a year ago, an increase of 18%, primarily driven by the contribution from COVID-19 vaccine distribution and kitting programs with the U.S. government and a lower share count, partially offset by a higher tax rate and the prior year contribution from the company's now separated investment in Change Healthcare LLC ("Change Healthcare"). Fourth-quarter Adjusted Earnings per diluted share included pre-tax net gains of approximately $44 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, associated with McKesson Ventures’ equity investments.

Full-year Adjusted Earnings per diluted share was $17.21 compared to $14.95 a year ago, an increase of 15%, primarily driven by a lower share count and the contribution from COVID-19 vaccine distribution and kitting programs with the U.S. government, partially offset by the prior year contribution from the company's now separated investment in Change Healthcare. Full-year Adjusted Earnings per diluted share included pre-tax net gains of approximately $133 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, associated with McKesson Ventures' equity investments.

For the full year, McKesson returned $1.0 billion of cash to shareholders, which included $770 million of common stock repurchases and $276 million of dividend payments. During the fiscal year, McKesson generated cash from operations of $4.5 billion, and invested $641 million in capital expenditures, resulting in Free Cash Flow of $3.9 billion.

  • Medical-Surgical Solutions played a central role in the COVID-19 response efforts, assembling and distributing the ancillary supply kits needed for COVID-19 vaccinations and distributing COVID-19 tests to healthcare provider customers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

GAAP refers to the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This press release includes GAAP financial measures as well as Non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted Other Income, Adjusted Equity Income from Change Healthcare, Adjusted Income Tax Expense, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share, Adjusted Segment Operating Profit, Adjusted Segment Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Corporate Expenses, Adjusted Operating Profit, FX-Adjusted results and Free Cash Flow which are financial measures not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Refer to the “Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information” section of the accompanying financial statement tables for the definitions and usefulness of the Company’s Non-GAAP financial measures and the attached schedules for reconciliations of the differences between the Non-GAAP financial measures and their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The Company does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis as McKesson is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking Non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort, because McKesson cannot reliably forecast LIFO inventory-related adjustments, 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 and settlements, including regarding our role in distributing controlled substances such as opioids; we might experience losses not covered by insurance; we might be adversely impacted by changes in tax legislation or challenges to our tax positions; we from time to time record significant charges from impairment to goodwill, intangibles and other assets or investments; we experience cybersecurity incidents and might experience significant computer system compromises or data breaches; we might experience significant problems with information systems or networks; we may be unsuccessful in retail pharmacy profitability; we might be harmed by large customer purchase reductions, payment defaults or contract non-renewal; our contracts with government entities involve future funding and compliance risks; we might be harmed by changes in our relationships or contracts with suppliers; we might be adversely impacted by healthcare reform such as changes in pricing and reimbursement models; we might be adversely impacted by changes or disruptions in product supply and we have experienced and may experience difficulties in sourcing products and changes in pricing due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on supply chains; we might be adversely impacted as a result of our distribution of generic pharmaceuticals; we might be adversely impacted by an economic slowdown (including the effects we have experienced from the COVID-19 pandemic) or recession and by disruption in capital and credit markets that 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 fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; we might be adversely impacted by events outside of our control, such as widespread public health issues (including the effects we have experienced from the COVID-19 pandemic), natural disasters, political events and other catastrophic events; we may be adversely affected by global climate change or by legal, regulatory or market responses to such change; and we face uncertainties and risks related to vaccination distribution and related ancillary supply kit programs.

(a)

Certain computations may reflect rounding adjustments.

(b)

We calculate loss per diluted common share from continuing operations attributable to McKesson Corporation (GAAP) for the year ended March 31, 2021 using a weighted average of 160.6 million common shares, which excludes dilutive securities from the denominator due to their antidilutive effect when calculating a net loss per diluted share. We calculate adjusted earnings per diluted share (Non-GAAP) for the year ended March 31, 2021 on a fully diluted basis, using a weighted average of 162.0 million common shares. Because we show the GAAP to Non-GAAP per share reconciling items on a fully diluted basis, any footing differences in those items are due to different weighted average share counts. This methodology results in per share difference of $0.24 for the year ended March 31, 2021.

(c)

Adjusted earnings per diluted share on an FX-adjusted basis for the three months and year ended March 31, 2021 was $5.01 and $17.15, respectively, which excludes the foreign currency exchange effect of $0.04 and $0.06, respectively.
