New in FY2016

The increases in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating earnings were due to sales growth from existing and new pharmaceutical distribution customers, performance under our Pharmaceutical segment generics program, and acquisitions, partially offset by the adverse impact of customer pricing changes.

New in FY2016

GAAP operating earnings were negatively impacted by increased acquisition-related amortization, partially offset by litigation recoveries.

New in FY2016

The sum of the components may not equal the total due to rounding.

New in FY2016

During fiscal 2016, GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to Cardinal Health, Inc. ("diluted EPS") increased 20 percent to $4.32 and non-GAAP diluted EPS increased 20 percent to $5.24.

New in FY2016

The increase in fiscal 2016 GAAP diluted EPS also reflects the prior-year loss on extinguishment of debt.

New in FY2016

The decrease in cash and equivalents during the fiscal 2016 was driven by $3.6 billion deployed for acquisitions, $512 million paid in dividends, $651 million paid for share repurchases, and $465 million in capital expenditures, partially offset by $3.0 billion in cash provided by operating activities.

New in FY2016

On October 2, 2015, we completed the acquisition of the Cordis business ("Cordis") from Ethicon, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, for $1.9 billion using cash on hand and proceeds from our debt offering in June 2015.

naviHealth

New in FY2016

New in FY2016

The acquisition of naviHealth, a leader in post-acute care management solutions, expands our ability to help hospitals, other healthcare providers, and payers manage the complex processes of patient discharge.

New in FY2016

Refer to Note 12 for further information on this acquisition.

New in FY2016

Refer to Note 2 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information on acquisitions.

New in FY2016

Within our Pharmaceutical segment, we expect segment profit for fiscal 2017 to be essentially flat compared to fiscal 2016.

New in FY2016

The factors contributing to our expectation include less profit growth from the segment’s generics program and the loss of a large pharmaceutical distribution customer beginning April 1, 2016, combined with the adverse impact of customer pricing changes similar to those in fiscal 2016.

New in FY2016

While we expect that the segment’s generics program will be positively impacted by benefits from both Red Oak Sourcing and new generic pharmaceutical launches, we expect that both of these items will have significantly less of a year-over-year positive segment profit

New in FY2016

impact in fiscal 2017 than fiscal 2016.

New in FY2016

The impact of these factors will be more pronounced in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, when we expect Pharmaceutical segment profit to be significantly less than in the prior-year period and consolidated operating earnings to be less than in the prior-year period.

New in FY2016

Fiscal 2016 Compared to Fiscal 2015

New in FY2016

Fiscal 2016 Pharmaceutical segment revenue grew primarily due to sales growth from existing and new pharmaceutical distribution customers, including continued branded pharmaceutical price appreciation, all of which increased revenue by $16.9 billion.

New in FY2016

Acquisitions also contributed $2.1 billion to revenue growth.

New in FY2016

Fiscal 2016 Medical segment revenue grew primarily due to acquisitions, net of divestitures, which contributed $645 million, and sales growth from existing businesses.

New in FY2016
