New in FY2017

| Introduction | | |

New in FY2017

We provide medical products and pharmaceuticals and cost-effective solutions that enhance supply chain efficiency.

New in FY2017

The decreases in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating earnings were primarily due to generic pharmaceutical customer pricing changes and the previously disclosed loss of a large pharmaceutical distribution customer.

New in FY2017

The decreases were partially offset by the benefits of Red Oak Sourcing within our Pharmaceutical segment generics program and growth from our Medical segment.

New in FY2017

Changes in litigation (recoveries)/charges, net and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets related to the acquisition of Cordis also contributed to the decrease in GAAP operating earnings during fiscal 2017.

New in FY2017

GAAP diluted EPS decreased due to lower GAAP operating earnings, partially offset by a lower effective tax rate and fewer shares outstanding as a result of share repurchases.

New in FY2017

Non-GAAP diluted EPS increased primarily due to a lower effective tax rate and fewer shares outstanding as a result of share repurchases, partially offset by lower non-GAAP operating earnings.

New in FY2017

In July 2017, we used $6.1 billion to fund the acquisition of the Patient Care, Deep Vein Thrombosis and Nutritional Insufficiency businesses from Medtronic plc, as discussed below, and used $403 million to redeem our 1.7% notes due 2018.

New in FY2017

Acquisition of Medtronic's Patient Recovery Business

New in FY2017

On July 29, 2017, we acquired the Patient Care, Deep Vein Thrombosis, and Nutritional Insufficiency businesses (the "Patient Recovery Business") from Medtronic plc ("Medtronic") for $6.1 billion in cash.

New in FY2017

The Patient Recovery Business manufactures 23 medical product categories sold into multiple healthcare channels, and includes numerous industry-leading brands, such as Curity, Kendall, Dover, Argyle and Kangaroo.

New in FY2017

The acquisition further expands the Medical segment's portfolio of self-manufactured products.

New in FY2017

We funded the acquisition through $4.5 billion in new long-term debt, the use of existing cash, and borrowings under our existing credit arrangements.

New in FY2017

Within our Pharmaceutical segment, we expect fiscal 2018 segment profit to be less than our fiscal 2017 segment profit due primarily to generic pharmaceutical customer pricing changes, which also negatively impacted Pharmaceutical segment profit during fiscal 2017.

New in FY2017

In fiscal 2018, we expect the acquisition of the Patient Recovery Business will significantly increase the Medical segment's revenue and segment profit.

New in FY2017

We also expect the acquisition will significantly increase amortization and acquisition-related costs in fiscal 2018 due to the size and complexity of the acquisition.

New in FY2017

We expect our interest expense, net to increase in fiscal 2018 primarily due to the debt issued to fund a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of the Patient Recovery Business.

New in FY2017

Fiscal 2017 Medical segment revenue grew primarily due to sales growth from new and existing customers and $212 million in contributions from acquisitions.

New in FY2017

Fiscal 2017 Compared to Fiscal 2016

New in FY2017

Fiscal 2017 consolidated gross margin was essentially flat versus the prior-year period.

New in FY2017

Consolidated gross margin for fiscal 2017 was positively impacted by sales growth from pharmaceutical distribution customers ($260 million) and acquisitions in both segments ($132 million) and was negatively impacted by the previously disclosed loss of a large pharmaceutical distribution customer.

New in FY2017

Fiscal 2017 Compared to Fiscal 2016

New in FY2017

Fiscal 2017 SG&A expenses increased primarily due to acquisitions ($112 million) and costs related to a multi-year project to replace certain Pharmaceutical segment finance and operating information systems, partially offset by reduced enterprise-wide incentive compensation.

New in FY2017

Fiscal 2017 Compared to Fiscal 2016

New in FY2017

Fiscal 2017 Pharmaceutical segment profit decreased largely due to generic pharmaceutical customer pricing changes.

New in FY2017

The previously disclosed loss of a large pharmaceutical distribution customer, the adverse impact of customer repricings and reduced levels of branded pharmaceutical price appreciation also contributed to the decrease in Pharmaceutical segment profit.

New in FY2017

These were partially offset by the benefits of Red Oak Sourcing within our generics program.
