INDEX TO MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

GENERAL

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, referred to as the “Financial Review,” is intended to assist the reader in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the results of operations and financial position of McKesson Corporation together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “McKesson,” “we,” “our,” or “us” and other similar pronouns). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying financial notes in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Item 8 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 previously filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 2021 (“2021 Annual Report”).

Our fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. Unless otherwise noted, all references to a particular year shall mean our fiscal year.

Certain statements in this report constitute forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Notice About Forward-Looking Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview of Our Business:

We are a global leader in healthcare supply chain management solutions, retail pharmacy, community oncology and specialty care, and healthcare information solutions. We partner with pharmaceutical manufacturers, providers, pharmacies, governments, and other organizations in healthcare to help provide the right medicines, medical products, and healthcare services to the right patients at the right time, safely, and cost-effectively.

We report our results in four reportable segments: U.S. Pharmaceutical, Prescription Technology Solutions (“RxTS”), Medical-Surgical Solutions, and International. Our organizational structure also includes Corporate, which consists of income and expenses associated with administrative functions and projects, and the results of certain investments. The factors for determining the reportable segments include the manner in which management evaluates the performance of the Company combined with the nature of individual business activities. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments on a number of measures, including revenues and operating profit before interest expense and income taxes.

The following summarizes our four reportable segments. Refer to Financial Note 14, “Segments of Business,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding our reportable segments.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

(UNAUDITED)

• U.S. Pharmaceutical** distributes branded, generic, specialty, biosimilar, and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs and other healthcare-related products. This segment also provides practice management, technology, clinical support, and business solutions to community-based oncology and other specialty practices. In addition, the segment sells financial, operational, and clinical solutions to pharmacies (retail, hospital, alternate site) and provides consulting, outsourcing, technological, and other services.

• RxTS** is a reportable segment that unifies the solutions and services of CoverMyMeds, RelayHealth, RxCrossroads, and McKesson Prescription Automation to serve our biopharma and life sciences partners and patients. By combining automation and expert navigation of the healthcare ecosystem, RxTS connects pharmacies, providers, payers, and biopharma to address patients’ medication access, adherence, and affordability challenges to help people get the medicine they need to live healthier lives.

• Medical-Surgical Solutions** provides medical-surgical supply distribution, logistics, and other services to healthcare providers in the U.S.

*•*International is a reportable segment that includes our operations in Europe and Canada, bringing together non-U.S.-based drug distribution services, specialty pharmacy, retail, and infusion care services. During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, we entered into agreements to sell certain of our businesses in the European Union (“E.U.”), and to sell our retail and distribution businesses in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). These divestitures are further described in the below “European Divestiture Activities” section.

European Divestiture Activities

On July 5, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell certain of our businesses in the E.U. located in France, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Belgium, and Slovenia, along with our German headquarters and wound-care business, part of a shared services center in Lithuania, and our ownership stake in a joint venture in the Netherlands (“E.U. disposal group”) to the PHOENIX Group for a purchase price of €1.2 billion (or, approximately $1.4 billion) adjusted for certain items, including cash, net debt and working capital adjustments, and reduced by the value of the noncontrolling interest held by minority shareholders of McKesson Europe AG (“McKesson Europe”) at the transaction closing date. We recorded charges of $26 million and $517 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively, in total operating expenses to remeasure the E.U. disposal group to the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and to impair certain internal-use software that will not be utilized in the future. The remeasurement adjustment includes a $230 million loss related to the accumulated other comprehensive income balances associated with the E.U. disposal group, driven by declines in the Euro. The transaction is anticipated to close within the first half of fiscal year 2023, pursuant to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals, as applicable.

On November 1, 2021, we announced an agreement to sell our retail and distribution businesses in the U.K. (“U.K. disposal group”) to Aurelius Elephant Limited for a purchase price of £325 million (or, approximately $440 million), subject to certain adjustments. We recorded charges of $823 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 in total operating expense

We believe there has been no material change in our exposure to risks associated with fluctuations in interest and foreign currency exchange rates as disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report.

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of other members of the Company’s management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, and our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures as required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.

There were no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

**Item 1.**Legal Proceedings.

The information set forth in Financial Note 12, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in Financial Note 19, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, is incorporated herein by reference. Disclosure of an environmental proceeding with a governmental agency generally is included only if we expect monetary sanctions in the proceeding to exceed $1 million, unless otherwise material.

Other than factual updates discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes for the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Item 2.**Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Stock repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) programs, or by combinations of such methods, any of which may use pre-arranged trading plans that are designed to meet the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, restrictions under the Company’s debt obligations, and other market and economic conditions.

In May 2021, the Company entered into an ASR program with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $1.0 billion of the Company’s common stock. The total number of shares repurchased under this ASR program was 5.2 million shares at an average price per share of $193.22. The Company received 4.3 million shares as the initial share settlement, and in August 2021 the Company received an additional 0.9 million shares upon the completion of this ASR program.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased an additional 3.3 million of the Company’s shares for $728 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $223.89, of which $30 million was accrued at December 31, 2021 within “Other accrued liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for share repurchases executed in late December and settled in early January. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repurchased 1.4 million of the Company’s shares for $280 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $203.20. There were no open market share repurchases during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

On December 8, 2021, the Company announced that the Board approved an increase of $4.0 billion in the authorization for repurchase of McKesson common stock. The total remaining authorization outstanding for repurchases of the Company’s common stock was $4.8 billion at December 31, 2021.
