We are routinely named as a defendant in litigation or regulatory proceedings and other legal disputes, which may include asserted class action litigation, such as those described in [removed: Financial Note 17, “Commitments] [added: [Financial](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_253) [Note 17](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_253)[, “](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_253)[Commitments] and Contingent [removed: Liabilities,”] [added: Liabilities](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_253)[,](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_253)”] to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

The Company is a defendant in many litigation matters alleging claims related to the distribution of controlled substances (opioids), as described in [removed: Financial Note 17, “Commitments] [added: [Financial](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_253) [Note 17](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_253)[, “](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_253)[Commitments] and Contingent [removed: Liabilities,”] [added: Liabilities](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_253)[,”](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_253)] to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report.
Although the Company has valid defenses and is vigorously defending itself, some proceedings have [removed: been] [added: been,] and others may [removed: be] [added: be,] resolved by negotiated outcome.
Additionally, we are subject to various routine and ad hoc inspections and requests for information by [removed: government] [added: governmental] agencies to determine compliance with various statutes and regulations.
Any noncompliance by us with applicable [removed: laws] [added: laws,] or the failure to maintain, renew, or obtain necessary permits and [removed: licenses] [added: licenses,] could lead to enforcement actions or litigation and might have a materially adverse impact on our business operations and our financial position or results of operations.
As described in “Government Regulation” in Item 1 of Part I above, federal, state, and local governmental entities in the U.S. and elsewhere continue to strengthen their position [added: on,] and scrutiny [removed: over] [added: of,] practices that may indicate fraud, waste, and abuse affecting government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
[removed: Failures] [added: Alleged failures] to comply with those laws, including the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, [removed: might] expose us to federal or state government investigations or qui tam actions, and to liability for damages and civil and criminal penalties.
We might lose our ability to purchase, [removed: compound,] store, or distribute [removed: pharmaceuticals and] [added: pharmaceuticals, including] controlled [removed: substances.][added: substances, and medical products.]
As described in “Government Regulation” in Item 1 of Part I above, we are subject to the operating, quality, regulatory, and security requirements of the DEA, the FDA, various state boards of pharmacy, state health departments, [removed: the] CMS, and other [removed: comparable] agencies.
Noncompliance with these requirements can result in inspectional observations, warning letters, product recalls, [added: withdrawals or other market action, fines,] seizures, injunctions, and other administrative, civil, and criminal enforcement actions.
Noncompliance, enforcement [removed: actions,] [added: actions] or adverse decisions by regulators, or the inability to obtain, maintain, or renew permits, licenses, or other regulatory approvals needed for the operation of our businesses might have a materially adverse impact on our [added: reputation, our] business operations and our financial position or results of operations.
Privacy, [added: cybersecurity,] data protection, and [removed: cybersecurity] [added: AI] laws increase our compliance burden.
As described in “Government Regulation” in Item 1 of Part I above, we are subject to a variety of [removed: privacy and] [added: privacy, cybersecurity,] data [removed: protection] [added: protection, and AI] laws that change frequently and have requirements that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Our efforts to comply with [removed: privacy and] [added: privacy,] data [removed: security] [added: security, and AI] laws complicate our operations and add to our costs.
A significant [added: cybersecurity and/or] privacy breach or failure to comply with privacy and data security laws, by us or by external service providers, vendors, or other third parties with which we do business, might have a materially adverse impact on our reputation, our business operations, and our financial position or results of operations.
In addition, we periodically review our intangible and other long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in [removed: circumstances, such as a divestiture,] [added: circumstances] indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our intangible and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include slower growth rates, the loss of a significant customer, burdensome new [removed: laws,] [added: laws] or [added: other adverse legal developments, or] divestiture of a business or asset for less than its carrying value.
We [added: have in the past recorded, and] may be required to [removed: record] [added: record,] a significant charge to earnings in our consolidated financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or intangible and other long-lived assets is determined, which might have a materially adverse impact on our business operations and our financial position or results of operations.
Despite [removed: conducting] our [removed: own] physical, technical, and administrative security measures as well as third party risk management processes as discussed in “Cybersecurity” in Item 1C of Part I below, technology systems and operations of the Company and third parties, including our external service providers and vendors, with which we do [removed: business] [added: business,] have experienced cybersecurity incidents and are subject to future cyberattacks and cybersecurity incidents.
The risk and efficacy of cyberattacks increases from time to time due to a variety of internal and external factors, [removed: including] [added: including, but not limited to,] the adoption of sophisticated and rapidly evolving techniques, such as adversarial AI, and during political [removed: tensions, military conflicts,] or [removed: civil] [added: military] unrest.
Any of these [removed: scenarios] [added: risks] might have a materially adverse impact on our [removed: business, our] reputation, [added: our business operations,] and our financial position or results of operations.
Our customers rely on their ability to access and use these [removed: systems] [added: systems,] and their [removed: data] [added: data,] as [removed: needed.][added: needed, and our ability to compete effectively is increasingly dependent on access to, and interpretation of, data.]
[removed: If] [added: When] those information systems or networks [removed: suffer errors, interruptions, or become unavailable,] [added: are disrupted,] or if the timely delivery of medical care or other customer business requirements are [removed: impaired by data access, network, or systems problems,] [added: impaired,] we [removed: might] experience injury to patients or consumers, litigation or regulatory action, disruption of our business operations, loss of customers or revenue, cash flow impacts, and increased expense.
If our software and technology services are alleged to have contributed to faulty clinical decisions, compromised continuity of patient care, or injury to patients, we might be subject to regulatory [removed: scrutiny,] [added: scrutiny or,] claims [removed: or litigation] by users of our software or services and/or their patients.
A failure of a system or software to conform to specifications might constitute a breach of warranty that could result in repair costs, contract termination, [removed: refunds of amounts previously paid,] [added: refunds,] or claims for damages.
These risks can be heightened upon the adoption of [removed: rapid evolution or] new technologies, including AI, and may introduce new or expanded risks, such as data inaccuracy, unreliability, or bias.
We distribute pharmaceutical, medical, and other FDA-regulated products manufactured by third parties and by our private label businesses, including medications that may be temperature sensitive [removed: and] [added: or] have limited shelf lives.
Issues affecting product [removed: efficacy or] safety [added: or efficacy] can arise from manufacturing, storing, distributing, dispensing or using products, and can result in [added: adverse consequences such as] safety alerts, [added: seizures, bans,] recalls, [removed: regulatory action, civil lawsuits, fines] [added: withdrawals] or other [added: market action, suspensions, and other regulatory actions and] sanctions, [added: civil lawsuits, increased costs, disruptions, delays,] and reputational damage.
[removed: We may implement restructuring, cost reduction, or other business process] [added: These] initiatives [removed: that] might [removed: result in significant charges and expenses, failures] [added: fail] to achieve our desired [removed: objectives,] [added: objectives] or [added: have] unintended consequences such as distraction of our management and employees, business disruption, attrition beyond any planned reduction in workforce, inability to attract or retain key personnel and reduced employee productivity.
Any of these [removed: risks] [added: disruptions or changes] might have a materially adverse impact on our business operations and our financial position or results of operations.
We might be unable to successfully complete or integrate acquisitions or other [removed: business combinations.][added: strategic transactions.]
Our growth strategy includes consummating acquisitions or other [removed: business combinations] [added: strategic transactions] that either expand or complement our business.
To fund [removed: acquisitions,] [added: these strategic transactions,] we may require financing that may not be available on acceptable terms.
We may not receive [removed: regulatory] [added: governmental] approvals needed to complete proposed transactions, or such approvals may be subject to delays or conditions that reduce transaction benefits.
Achieving the desired outcomes of [removed: business combinations] [added: these strategic transactions] involves significant risks including: diverting management’s attention from other business operations; challenges with assimilating the acquired businesses, such as integration of operations, systems, and technologies; failure or delay in realizing operating synergies; difficulty retaining key acquired company personnel; unanticipated accounting or financial systems issues with the acquired business, which might affect our internal controls over financial reporting; [added: disputes with the sellers of acquired businesses;] unanticipated compliance issues in the acquired business; unknown or unanticipated cybersecurity issues; challenges retaining customers of the acquired business; unanticipated expenses or charges to earnings, including depreciation and amortization or potential impairment charges; and risks of known and unknown assumed liabilities in the acquired business.

The use of AI solutions by our employees or third parties on which we rely could also lead to the misuse of data or public disclosure of confidential information (including personal data or proprietary information) in contravention of our internal policies, applicable laws, contractual requirements, or third-party intellectual property rights.

Companies in the healthcare industry are increasingly targeted for cyberattacks.
Our adoption of AI also may create new attack surfaces or methods and generally increase cybersecurity and data protection risks and costs.
Additionally, it may take considerable time for us to investigate and evaluate the full impact of incidents, particularly for sophisticated attacks.
These factors may inhibit our ability to provide prompt, full, and reliable information about the incident to our customers, regulators, and the public.
Data quality impacts customer ordering, order fulfillment and higher order processing.
If we fail to effectively implement and maintain data governance structures across our businesses, to effectively interpret and utilize such data, or protect the integrity of such data, including systems

powered by or incorporating AI and machine learning, our operations could be impacted, and we may be at a competitive disadvantage. Our networks and hosting systems are also vulnerable to interruption or damage from sources beyond our control.
In addition, hardware, software, and other applications and updates procured from third parties may contain defects that have, or may in the future, unexpectedly restrict access to or interfere with the proper operations of our information systems and hardware.
From time to time, we implement restructuring, cost reduction, or other business process initiatives that result in significant charges and expenses.
| [Table of Contents](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_7) | | | [Item 1A Index](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_58) | | |

We have increased, and expect to continue to increase, our use of AI technology.
They might be modified with less favorable terms.
New or revised laws, requirements, and policies, or changes in the interpretation of existing laws, requirements, and policies, could adversely affect our business and competitiveness and increase our compliance costs.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit also is addressing this issue but has not yet ruled.
Separately, several entities have filed lawsuits against HHS and HRSA related to the proposed implementation of rebate models to effectuate 340B pricing.
Consolidation also might affect our ability to achieve our growth objectives through acquisitions and other strategic transactions.
We rely on third parties for the supply of pharmaceutical and other products, and our operations are subject to our suppliers’ continued ability to supply the products that we require.
From time to time, we experience difficulties and delays in
| [Table of Contents](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_7) | | | [Item 1A Index](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_58) | | |
sourcing and selling products due to a variety of causes that result in suppliers’ failure to satisfy production demand.
Among these causes are suppliers’ challenges in complying with legal requirements (including product and production quality standards), access to raw materials, inputs, and finished goods, manufacturing shutdowns, and operational and systems difficulties.
Supply disruptions also arise from other factors beyond our control, such as product rationalization; government actions or policies (including trade sanctions, tariffs and other trade restrictions, as well as the requisition, diversion, or allocation of inventory); shifts in customer or societal demand for products; labor disputes or shortages; ethical sourcing issues; supplier financial distress; natural disasters and weather-related events; civil unrest; military conflicts; and epidemics or pandemics.
In these types of situations, our alternative sourcing efforts are not always fully successful.
We might experience extended delays or incur higher sourcing costs or suffer harm to our customer relationships and reputation.
Inflationary pressure is increased by factors such as supply chain disruptions, labor market tightness, actual or announced tariffs, government policies, interest rate changes, and foreign exchange rate changes.
Our non-U.S. operations, import and export of products sold in non-U.S. dollar (USD) denominations, non-USD intercompany loans, and our substantial international net assets also expose us to foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Credit rating agencies regularly review our credit and rate our outstanding debt; and any downgrades in our credit ratings might limit our access to public debt markets, decrease financial institutions willingness to lend to us, lead to more restrictive debt covenants, increase our borrowing costs, and adversely affect our earnings.
| [Table of Contents](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_7) | | | [Item 1A Index](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_58) | | |
events, might impede our or our customers’ or suppliers’ ability or cost to obtain credit.
For example, recently imposed or announced U.S. tariffs, as well as any retaliatory tariffs or other trade restrictions imposed by other countries, might require us to incur substantial additional sourcing costs, raise prices on certain products, or seek alternate supply sources.
If we are unable to effectively manage or offset the impact of new tariffs or other trade restrictions, or find alternate sources of supply, we might be competitively disadvantaged or experience reduced profit margins or supply disruptions.
Further, we might suffer harm to our customer relationships.
The networks and hosting systems are vulnerable to interruption or damage from sources beyond our control, such as power loss, telecommunications failures, fire, natural disasters, including as a result of climate change, software and hardware failures, and cybersecurity incidents.
Employees might not successfully transition into new roles.
Separately, there is increased scrutiny on companies’ diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”) initiatives.
Negative perception of our DEI initiatives, whether due to our perceived over or under pursuit of such initiatives, may likewise result in issues hiring or retaining employees, as well as potential litigation or other adverse impacts.
Two other courts of appeal are addressing this issue but have not yet ruled.
We experience difficulties and delays in sourcing and selling products due to a variety of causes, from time to time, such as: difficulties in complying with the legal requirements for export or import of pharmaceuticals or components; suppliers’ failure to satisfy production demand; manufacturing or supply problems such as inadequate resources; new innovative therapies that are expensive, complex, and fast-growing; product rationalization; and real or perceived quality issues.
For example, the FDA banned certain manufacturers from selling raw materials and drug ingredients or finished goods in the U.S. due to quality issues.
Difficulties in product manufacturing or access to raw materials or finished goods could result in supplier production shutdowns, product shortages, and other supply disruptions.
Supply interruptions are often due to a variety of causes over which we have no control, such as export controls or trade sanctions, labor disputes, unavailability of key manufacturing sites, inability to procure raw materials or finished goods, quality control concerns, ethical sourcing issues, supplier’s financial distress or bankruptcy, natural disasters, including as a result of climate change, civil unrest or acts of war, the impact of epidemics or pandemics, and other general supply constraints.
In these situations there may be no alternative sources of supply.
Our inventory might be requisitioned, diverted, or allocated by government order such as under emergency, disaster, and civil defense declarations.
Inflationary pressure is increased by factors such as supply chain disruptions, including the reduced availability of key commodities, labor market tightness, and government policies that lower interest rates or do not raise them sufficiently to counteract inflation.
We might be adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
We conduct our business in various currencies, including the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, Euro, and British pound sterling.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could reduce our revenues, increase our costs, or otherwise adversely affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollars.
For example, we are exposed to transactional currency exchange risk due to our import and export of products that are purchased or sold in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
We also have currency exchange risk due to intercompany loans denominated in various currencies.
Currency exchange rates and their volatility are affected by factors outside of our control, such as political tensions, military conflicts, and civil unrest.
We may from time to time enter into foreign currency contracts, foreign currency borrowings, or other techniques intended to hedge a portion of our foreign currency exchange rate risks.
These hedging activities may not completely offset the adverse financial effects of unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates during the time the hedges are in place.
Companies across all industries are facing increasing scrutiny relating to their sustainability and governance practices and policies.
The landscape related to such regulation, compliance, and reporting is constantly evolving, including expanding in scope and complexity.
For example, the SEC and the State of California have adopted laws that we anticipate will require significantly increased disclosures related to climate change.
There are also proposed regulations, including federal acquisition regulations, which may impose additional and more expansive requirements.
We may experience significant costs associated with regulatory compliance for sustainability and governance matters, including fees, licenses, reporting, and the cost of capital improvements for our operating facilities to meet environmental regulatory requirements.
Increased focus and activism related to these topics may hinder our access to capital or negatively impact our stock price, as investors may reconsider their capital investment based on their assessment of our sustainability and governance practices and policies.
In particular, investor advocacy groups, institutional investors, stockholders, employees, customers, regulators, proxy advisory services, and other market participants have increasingly focused on governance and sustainability practices and policies of companies.
If we fail to meet our goals or fail to adapt to evolving investor, industry, or stakeholder expectations and standards, our reputation may be harmed.
In addition, we could face increased regulatory, reputational, and legal scrutiny as a result of our sustainability-related commitments and disclosures, and we could also face challenges with managing conflicting requirements and our various stakeholders’ expectations, among other governance risks that could adversely impact our business and financial results.

This revenue growth was also favorably impacted by higher pharmaceutical distribution volumes in our International segment.
Gross profit for the year ended March 31, 2025 was impacted by an inventory impairment charge of $58 million related to restructuring initiatives to drive operational efficiencies and increase cost optimization efforts as discussed in [Financial Note 3, “Restructuring, Impairment, and Related Charges, Net,”](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_205) to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report.

During fiscal 2023, we completed transactions to sell certain of our businesses in the European Union (“E.U. disposal group”), and our retail and distribution businesses in the United Kingdom (“U.K. disposal group”).
*•*On June 15, 2023, we completed a public offering of 4.90% Notes due July 15, 2028 in a principal amount of $400 million and 5.10% Notes due July 15, 2033 in a principal amount of $600 million, for proceeds received, net of discounts and offering expenses, of $397 million and $592 million, respectively.
- Following the consummation of the cash tender offer discussed above, on June 16, 2023, we irrevocably deposited U.S. government obligations with the trustee under the indenture governing the 2024 Notes sufficient to fund the payment of accrued and unpaid interest of the remaining $647 million principal amount of the 2024 Notes as it became due, and of the principal amount of those 2024 Notes on their March 15, 2024 maturity date.
The provision for bad debts of $515 million recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 related to uncollected trade accounts receivable from sales to Rite Aid in October 2023 prior to its bankruptcy petition filing.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we recorded a provision for bad debts of $210 million, which represented the uncollected trade accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2023 due from Rite Aid.
These charges were recorded within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and included within the U.S. Pharmaceutical segment.
The plaintiffs in these actions have included state attorneys general, county and municipal governments, tribal nations, hospitals, health and welfare funds, third-party payors, and individuals.
We believe we have valid legal defenses in all opioid-related matters, including claims not covered by settlement agreements, and we intend to mount a vigorous defense.
The Company and two other national distributors are engaged in ongoing settlement discussions with representatives of nationwide groups of acute care hospitals and certain third-party payors.
The mediator proposed settlement is subject to, among other things, agreement on final settlement terms, Board approval, court approval, and sufficient participation by hospitals.
With respect to the third party payors, we have been engaged in settlement discussions with representatives of a nationwide group of certain third-party payors.
Those negotiations include a proposal by the mediator for us to pay up to $114 million to resolve the claims of a nationwide class of certain third-party payors.
Because of the many uncertainties, including the need to negotiate non-financial settlement terms, we have not determined a liability is probable.
The claims of remaining U.S. non-governmental plaintiffs are not included in the charge we recorded.
During fiscal 2024, we made payments totaling $544 million associated with various settlement agreements for opioid-related claims of states, subdivisions, and Native American tribes.
Legislative Developments
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”).
Among other provisions, the IRA includes a 15% corporate minimum tax, a 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of an entity’s own common stock after December 31, 2022, and various drug pricing reforms.
We do not anticipate that this legislation will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures; however, we continue to evaluate the impact of these legislative changes.
Refer to Financial Note 18, “Stockholders' Equity (Deficit),” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for further details regarding excise taxes incurred on our share repurchases during fiscal 2024.
COVID-19
The U.S. federal government and World Health Organization suspended their respective public health emergencies in regards to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (“COVID-19”) in May 2023.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we began transitioning the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to commercial channels, the results of which are included primarily within our U.S. Pharmaceutical and Medical-Surgical Solutions segments.
The impacts from COVID-19 related items were not material to revenues and operating profit for fiscal 2024.

Each ERG is non-exclusive and open to every employee.
We seek to attract and retain the best talent through competitive compensation and pay for performance, while prioritizing recognition of merit and compliance with laws.
The regulatory framework affecting our business and industry is continuously evolving and influenced by conditions such as public policy developments; shifts in governmental priorities, initiatives, and focus areas, including due to changes in federal, state, and local representation; and varied interpretations of laws and agency rulemaking conventions.
These conditions create uncertainties for our business, and we are unable to predict the impact of future changes to the regulatory framework, or any prolonged uncertainty, on our operations and compliance costs.

In October 2024, the FDA extended the compliance deadlines for the DSCSA interoperable unit-level traceability requirements to May 27, 2025, for manufacturers, August 27, 2025 for distributors, and November 27, 2025 for dispensers.
The FDA stated that these extensions apply to trading partners who meet certain conditions.
The Company believes its businesses are eligible for the extensions.
Additionally, federal and state governments may adopt other laws intended to protect the integrity of the supply chain, and those laws could affect our distribution business.
For example, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and HHS issued a request for public comment in 2024 on how the practices of pharmaceutical wholesalers and group purchasing organizations impact generic drug shortages.
Various industry stakeholders responded to this request, but no further action has been taken by the FTC or HHS.
There is also an emerging trend of governmental entities proposing and providing regulatory guidance related to AI, including generative AI.
If we or our third-party providers are restricted from using AI as a result of any regulatory views, laws or other measures, it could impact our operations, increase our compliance expense and burden, and cause us to incur costs to replace or modify our use of AI.

*Antitrust Laws*: Antitrust and competition laws in the U.S. and elsewhere prohibit types of conduct deemed to be anti-competitive.
Antitrust enforcement in the healthcare industry remains a focus of the FTC and the U.S. Department of Justice.
Some of our strategic transactions may require review by competition regulators, with inherent delays.
Violations of the antitrust laws can result in sanctions and other adverse actions, including criminal and civil penalties.
Private plaintiffs also may bring civil lawsuits for alleged antitrust law violations, including claims for treble damages.

McKESSON CORPORATION
Health Mart provides franchisees support for operational excellence, managed care contracting, marketing, merchandising solutions, and clinical programs to enhance patient care.
- RxO Advisory Services – A suite of supply chain management, pharmacy optimization, and 340B program advisory services driven by data and analytics.
- Patient Assistance Solutions – Technologies and services that enable health systems and providers to better financially support their patients and community benefit programs.
Additionally, McKesson has proudly supported the U.S. efforts to fight the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (“COVID-19”) by distributing certain COVID-19 vaccines since December 2020 at the direction of the U.S. government.
This program concluded in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, at which point we began transitioning the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines commercially through our customer pharmaceutical distribution channels.
Our International segment provides distribution and services to wholesale, institutional, and retail customers in Canada and Europe where we own, partner, or franchise with retail pharmacies.
Our operations in Canada also support better, safer patient care by delivering vital medicines, supplies, and information technology solutions to customers, and through several retail health and wellness brands, across Canada.
McKesson Canada also owns and operates Well.caTM, a leading Canadian online health and wellness retailer.
We consider our largest competitors in distribution, wholesaling, and logistics to be Cencora, Inc. and Cardinal Health, Inc. Our retail businesses, which primarily operate in our International segment, face competition from various global, national, regional, and local retailers, including chain and independent pharmacies.
Our employees in Europe primarily support our operations in Norway.
*Inclusion and Belonging:* As a company, we believe building a more inclusive future is everyone’s responsibility.
We build successful teams by fostering a culture of inclusion and belonging and ensuring we attract and retain the best talent at all levels of our organization.
To help strengthen our company, we offer various learning opportunities, such as our company-wide inclusion curriculum and additional initiatives to recognize, value and leverage the diversity of our workforce, enhance the inclusiveness of our culture and candidly discuss important topics happening in the world around us.
Our 11 ERGs provide a sense of community and insights into the perspectives and experiences across different ethnicities, genders, generations, abilities, and/or military/veteran status, as well as supporting members and allies of the LGBTQIA+ community.

More than two decades ago, our leadership team created a foundational set of values grounded in the belief that the way we do business is just as important as the business itself.
As we work to shape the future of health and embrace the ongoing evolution of our company, we will continue to utilize our strengths to drive lasting change while remaining deeply rooted in our purpose of Advancing Health Outcomes for All®.
To provide compensation that is focused on attracting and retaining talent with the skills and experience necessary for a specific role, our compensation program is built on a set of quantifiable factors defined by our guiding principles of internal equity, market competitiveness and pay for performance.
We operate in several countries and our benefits vary accordingly.
We use external resources to provide competitive benchmarking analyses against other companies and set pay ranges around the median of the competitive market.
As part of our commitment to pay transparency, the majority of our employees can view the competitive base pay range for their roles as well as for internal and external job postings.
Also, the pay range for external job postings is included on McKesson’s website (www.mckesson.com under the “Careers” caption).
We routinely assess facilities to closely monitor adherence to established security and safety standards.
If we identify a vulnerability, it is documented, and the facility prepares an action plan.

Our [removed: joint Chief Information Officer and Chief Technology Officer (CIO/CTO)] [added: CIO/CTO] leads management’s assessment and management of cybersecurity risk with the assistance of the Company’s CISO who reports to the CIO/CTO.
Our CIO/CTO has more than [removed: 28] [added: 29] years of experience managing technology and [removed: risks] [added: risks,] and advising on cybersecurity issues and our CISO has more than [removed: 20] [added: 21] years of relevant experience, is a Certified Information System Security Professional (CISSP), and a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA).
Our Cybersecurity Risk Management Program (“RM Program”) is aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework and other industry best practices.
The RM Program is designed to identify, assess and mitigate material cybersecurity risks.
We have implemented cybersecurity controls designed to protect our systems, data and operations from cybersecurity risks.
Although we believe that we maintain reasonable cybersecurity measures, we recognize that cyber threats continue to evolve, and no system is immune to risk.
We develop and maintain systems and operate programs that seek to mitigate the impact of cybersecurity incidents.
In the face of sophisticated and rapidly evolving attempts to overcome our security measures, we must continually monitor and update these systems and programs.
External consultants also periodically update the Board on cybersecurity trends and developments.

Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, audited the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and has also audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]

We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Uncertain Tax Position, [removed: Opioid] [added: Opioid-Related] Claims - refer to Note 1 and Note 6 to the financial statements
In order to account for the uncertainty associated with the ultimate realization of the income tax benefit related to [removed: opioid] [added: opioid-related] claims, the Company recorded an uncertain tax position reserve.
We identified the Company’s uncertain tax position related to liabilities arising from [removed: opioid] [added: opioid-related] claims as a critical audit matter because of the challenges in auditing management’s estimate of the amount of income tax benefit that qualifies for recognition.
Auditing the uncertain tax position related to liabilities arising from [removed: opioid] [added: opioid-related] claims required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our tax specialists.
Our audit procedures related to the Company’s uncertain tax position associated with liabilities arising from [removed: opioid] [added: opioid-related] claims included the following, among others:
- We tested the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control related to management’s assessment of the technical merits of its tax position and the amount of benefit more likely than not to be realized related to liabilities arising from [removed: opioid] [added: opioid-related] claims.
- With the assistance of our income tax specialists, we evaluated the facts, evidence and the Company’s related income tax analysis for the uncertain tax position reserve associated with liabilities arising from [removed: opioid] [added: opioid-related] claims.
- We held inquiries with the Company’s internal and external income tax specialists related to the uncertain tax position for liabilities arising from [removed: opioid] [added: opioid-related] claims.

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 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.

Refer to [Financial Note 18, “Stockholders' Equity (Deficit),"](#i1932fa7793c44d66a2130ab3bdd1dc53_259) for additional information.
The adoption of this amended guidance resulted in changes in disclosures but did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income (Loss), Balance Sheets, or Cash Flows.
While this accounting standard will increase disclosures related to the Company’s income taxes, it will not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statement results.
In November 2024, the 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.

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”).
Among other provisions, the IRA includes a 15% corporate minimum tax, a 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of an entity’s own common stock after December 31, 2022, and various drug pricing reforms.
The Company does not anticipate that this legislation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures; however the Company continues to evaluate the impact of these legislative changes.
Refer to Financial Note 18, “Stockholders' Equity (Deficit),” for further details regarding excise taxes incurred on the Company’s share repurchases during the year ended March 31, 2024.
Restricted cash of $395 million held in escrow as of March 31, 2022 related to obligations under settlement agreements for opioid-related claims of governmental entities was released during fiscal 2023.
Noncontrolling interests with redemption features, such as put rights, that are not solely within the Company’s control are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented outside of stockholders’ deficit in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Refer to Financial Note 17, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” for additional information related to controlled substances claims to which the Company is a party.
There were no accounting standards adopted by the Company during the year ended March 31, 2024.
Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, *Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure*s.
The amendments in this update are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.
*Recent Securities and Exchange Commission Final Rules Not Yet Adopted*
In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted final rules under SEC Release Nos. 33-11275 and 34-99678, *The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors*, which would require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their annual reports and registration statements and would allow phased-in implementation dates beginning with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026.
In April 2024, the SEC exercised its discretion to stay these rules pending the completion of judicial review of consolidated petitions challenging the validity of the rules.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these rules in light of those legal challenges.
Recognition of the initial fair value of this contingent consideration was a non-cash investing activity.
During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded charges totaling $1.6 billion primarily to remeasure the assets and liabilities of the disposal groups to fair value less costs to sell, including the effect of accumulated other comprehensive loss balances associated with the disposal groups largely driven by declines in the Euro and British pound sterling.
The charges for the year ended March 31, 2022 also included impairments of individual assets, such as certain internal-use software that will not be utilized in the future, prior to adjusting the E.U. disposal group as a whole, and net losses of $151 million related to the accumulated other comprehensive loss balances associated with the E.U. disposal group, driven by declines in the Euro.
The charges were recorded within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On April 6, 2022, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its retail and distribution businesses in the United Kingdom (“U.K. disposal group”) to Aurelius Elephant Limited for a purchase price of £110 million (or, approximately $144 million), including certain adjustments.
As part of the transaction, the Company divested net assets of $615 million and released $731 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss and the buyer assumed and repaid a note payable to the Company of $118 million.
The remeasurement adjustments included a $734 million loss related to the accumulated other comprehensive loss balances associated with the U.K. disposal group, driven by declines in the British pound sterling.
