FINANCIAL NOTES
(UNAUDITED)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations: McKesson Corporation (“McKesson,” or the “Company,”) is a diversified healthcare services leader dedicated to advancing health outcomes for patients everywhere. McKesson partners with biopharma companies, care providers, pharmacies, manufacturers, governments, and others to deliver insights, products, and services to help make quality care more accessible and affordable. The Company reports its financial results in four reportable segments: U.S. Pharmaceutical, Prescription Technology Solutions (“RxTS”), Medical-Surgical Solutions, and International. Refer to Financial Note 14, “Segments of Business,” for additional information.
Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and therefore do not include all information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of McKesson include the financial statements of all wholly-owned subsidiaries and majority-owned or controlled companies. For those consolidated subsidiaries where the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the portion of the net income or loss allocable to the noncontrolling interests is reported as “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees.
The Company considers itself to control an entity if it is the majority owner of or has voting control over such entity. The Company also assesses control through means other than voting rights and determines which business entity is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company consolidates VIEs when it is determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Investments in business entities in which the Company does not have control but can exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method.
Fiscal Period: The Company’s fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. Unless otherwise noted, all references to a particular year shall mean the Company’s fiscal year.
Reclassifications: Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of these financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimated amounts. The Company continues to evaluate the ongoing impacts, including the economic consequences, of the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (“COVID-19”), and therefore the Company’s accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time and may change materially in future periods. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of McKesson for the interim periods presented.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements, accounting policies, and financial notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, previously filed with the SEC on May 9, 2022 (“2022 Annual Report”).
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”). Among other provisions, the IR Act 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. Based on its preliminary assessment, the Company does not currently expect the IR Act to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows in the foreseeable future; however, the Company will continue to evaluate the full impact of these legislative changes.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
There were no adopted accounting standards during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 that had a material impact to the Company’s results of operations, financial position, cash flows, or notes to the financial statements upon their adoption.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies the guidance when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of the equity security, and requires additional disclosure requirements. ASU 2022-03 is effective for the Company on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
2**.** Business Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions
Rx Savings Solutions, LLC
On November 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the shares of Rx Savings Solutions, LLC (“RxSS”), a privately-owned company headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, to expand on connecting biopharma and payer services to patients. RxSS is a prescription price transparency and benefit insight company that offers affordability and adherence solutions to health plans and employers. The purchase consideration included a payment of $600 million in cash made upon closing and a maximum of $275 million of contingent consideration based on RxSS’ operational and financial performance through calendar year 2025. The payment made upon closing was funded from cash on hand. The financial results of RxSS are included in the Company’s RxTS segment as of the acquisition date. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination.
The Company recorded a liability for the contingent consideration at its fair value of $92 million as of the acquisition date, which is included within “Other non-current liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation, utilizing internal cash flow projections which are Level 3 inputs under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The contingent liability will be remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the liability is resolved with changes in fair value being recognized within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Recognition of the initial fair value of this contingent consideration is a non-cash investing activity.
The purchase price allocation included acquired identifiable intangible assets of $229 million, primarily representing customer relationships and technology with a weighted average amortization period of 12 years, and goodwill of $463 million. Goodwill has been preliminarily allocated to the Company’s RxTS segment, which reflects the expected future benefits from certain synergies and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

Oncology Research Business
On October 31, 2022, the Company completed a transaction with HCA Healthcare, Inc. (“HCA”) to form an oncology research business, combining McKesson’s U.S. Oncology Research (“USOR”) and HCA’s Sarah Cannon Research Institute (“SCRI”) based in Nashville, Tennessee, to advance cancer care and increase access to oncology clinical research. Upon consummation of the transaction, McKesson owns a 51% controlling interest in the combined business, and the financial results are consolidated by the Company and reported within its U.S. Pharmaceutical segment as of the acquisition date. Transaction consideration included the transfer of full ownership interest in USOR to the combined business and $173 million of cash paid to HCA, which was funded from cash on hand. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination.
The purchase price allocation included acquired identifiable intangible assets of $177 million, primarily representing customer relationships as well as trademarks and trade names with a weighted average amortization period of 17 years, and goodwill of $120 million. Goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s U.S. Pharmaceutical segment, which reflects the expected future benefits from certain synergies and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition of $49 million is deductible for tax purposes. The Company recorded noncontrolling interest of $225 million as a component of equity, which includes HCA’s proportionate interest in the identifiable net assets of SCRI at fair value of $205 million and its proportionate interest in the contributed net assets of USOR at carrying value of $20 million. The difference between the fair value of the Company’s acquired interest in SCRI net assets and the $173 million of cash paid to HCA was recognized as additional paid in capital, as well as the Company’s reduction in ownership interest in USOR net assets.

The fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets from the acquisitions discussed above were determined by applying the income approach, using a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several periods are discounted to their present value using an appropriate rate that is commensurate with the risk inherent with the transaction. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. Due to the recent timing of these acquisitions, the amounts presented above are subject to change as the Company’s fair value assessments are finalized. Pro forma financial information has not been provided as these acquisitions did not have a material impact, individually, or in the aggregate, to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.
Divestitures
In July 2021, the Company announced its intention to exit its businesses in Europe resulting in classification of certain assets and liabilities as held for sale. Assets and liabilities of $4.5 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2022, met the criteria for classification as held for sale in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, primarily consisting of disposal groups related to the Company’s European divestiture activities discussed below. At December 31, 2022, the Company had no assets or liabilities related to these divestiture activities that met the classification of held for sale. The decrease in assets and liabilities held for sale during fiscal 2023 was driven by the divestiture of the Company’s E.U. disposal group in October 2022 and U.K. disposal group in April 2022, as discussed in more detail below. During the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded gains of $31 million and charges of $879 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, recorded gains of $66 million and charges of $1.4 billion, respectively, primarily to remeasure the assets and liabilities of the disposal groups related to European divestiture activities discussed below to the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The fiscal 2022 charges were largely driven by declines in the British pound sterling and the Euro.

Assets and liabilities to be disposed of by sale (“disposal groups”) are classified as “held for sale” if their carrying amounts are principally expected to be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The classification occurs when the disposal group is available for immediate sale and the sale is probable. These criteria are generally met when an agreement to sell exists, or management has committed to a plan to sell the assets within one year. Disposal groups are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and long-lived assets included within the disposal group are not depreciated or amortized. The fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, is assessed each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and any remeasurement to the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell is reported as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group. When the net realizable value of a disposal group increases during a period, a gain can be recognized to the extent that it does not increase the value of the disposal group beyond its original carrying value when the disposal group was classified as held for sale. The Company determined that the disposal groups discussed below did not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations prior to being sold.
European Divestiture Activities
On October 31, 2022, the Company completed its previously announced transaction to sell certain of its businesses in the European Union (“E.U.”) located in France, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Belgium, and Slovenia, along with its German headquarters and wound-care business, part of a shared services center in Lithuania, and its ownership stake in a joint venture in the Netherlands (“E.U. disposal group”) to the PHOENIX Group. As part of the transaction, the Company received cash proceeds of $892 million and divested net assets of $1.3 billion, including cash of $319 million, derecognized the carrying value of its noncontrolling interest held by minority shareholders of McKesson Europe AG (“McKesson Europe”) of $382 million, and released $153 million of net accumulated other comprehensive loss.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded net gains of $31 million and $66 million, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, recorded charges totaling $26 million and $517 million, respectively, to remeasure the assets and liabilities of the E.U. disposal group to fair value less costs to sell. The charges for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 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 $230 million related to the accumulated other comprehensive income balances associated with the E.U. disposal group, driven by declines in the Euro. These amounts were recorded within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s measurement of the fair value of the E.U. disposal group was based on the total consideration expected to be received by the Company as outlined in the transaction agreement. Certain components of the total consideration included fair value measurements that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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, within the International segment, and the buyer assumed and repaid a note payable to the Company of $118 million.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded charges totaling $823 million to remeasure the U.K. disposal group to the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The remeasurement adjustment included a $731 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. The charges were recorded within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s measurement of the fair value of the U.K. disposal group was based on the total consideration expected to be received by the Company as outlined in the transaction agreement.

3. Restructuring, Impairment, and Related Charges, Net
The Company recorded restructuring, impairment, and related charges of $31 million and $18 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $84 million and $208 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These charges were included in “Restructuring, impairment, and related charges, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Restructuring Initiatives
During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company approved an initiative to increase operational efficiencies and flexibility by transitioning to a partial remote work model for certain employees. This initiative primarily included the rationalization of the Company’s office space in North America. Where the Company ceased using office space, it exited the portion of the facility no longer used. It also retained and repurposed certain other office locations. The Company recorded charges of $5 million and $115 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively, primarily related to lease right-of-use and other long-lived asset impairments, lease exit costs, and accelerated depreciation and amortization. This initiative was substantially completed in fiscal 2022 and remaining costs the Company recorded and expects to record under this initiative are not material.
Restructuring, impairment, and related charges, net, for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 consisted of the following:

(2)Other primarily includes cumulative translation adjustments and transfers to certain other liabilities. For the Company’s International segment, other also includes a reduction to the liability for the divestitures of the E.U. disposal group and the U.K. disposal group in fiscal 2023, as discussed in more detail in Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures.”
(3)As of December 31, 2022, the total reserve balance was $72 million, of which $48 million was recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” and $24 million was recorded in “Other non-current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
4. Income Taxes
Income tax expense related to continuing operations was as follows:
| Three Months Ended December 31, | Nine Months Ended December 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (Dollars in millions) | 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Income tax expense | $ | 329 | $ | 238 | $ | 799 | $ | 396 | |||||||||||||||
| Reported income tax rate | 22.7 | % | 85.9 | % | 21.6 | % | 30.9 | % |
Fluctuations in the Company’s reported income tax rates were primarily due to non-cash charges related to remeasuring the value of the E.U. and U.K. disposal groups held for sale to fair value less costs to sell in fiscal 2022, changes in the mix of earnings between various taxing jurisdictions, and discrete items recognized in the quarters.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized net discrete tax benefits primarily related to the tax impact of share-based compensation of $55 million. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recognized a net discrete tax benefit of $42 million primarily related to a decrease in the income recognized pursuant to the global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) regime in its 2021 U.S. Federal income tax return and the statute of limitation expirations in various taxing jurisdictions. During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized net discrete tax benefits primarily related to statute of limitation expirations of $115 million in various taxing jurisdictions and $81 million related to a reduction of GILTI income in the prior year.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded non-cash pre-tax charges of $517 million primarily to remeasure the E.U. disposal group to fair value less costs to sell, and, during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, recorded non-cash pre-tax charges of $853 million to remeasure the U.K. disposal group and the Austrian business to fair value less costs to sell, as described in Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures.” The Company’s reported income tax rates for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 were unfavorably impacted by this due to the non-deductible nature of the majority of these charges for income tax purposes.
McKESSON CORPORATION
FINANCIAL NOTES (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $1.5 billion of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $1.4 billion would reduce income tax expense and the effective tax rate if recognized. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by as much as $170 million to $195 million due to settlements of tax examinations and statute of limitation expirations based on the information currently available. However, this may change as the Company continues to have ongoing discussions with various taxing authorities throughout the year, and if the ultimate resolution of unrecognized tax benefits differs from this estimated range, the Company will record any additional income tax expense or benefit as necessary in the appropriate period. The unrecognized tax benefit may also increase or decrease due to future developments in opioid-related litigation and claims, as discussed in Financial Note 12, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.”
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions, and various foreign jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is currently examining the Company’s U.S. corporation income tax returns for 2018 and 2019. The Company is generally subject to audit by taxing authorities in various U.S. states and in foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years 2014 through the current fiscal year.
5. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
The Company’s previously recognized redeemable noncontrolling interests primarily related to its former consolidated subsidiary, McKesson Europe. Under the December 2014 domination and profit and loss transfer agreement (the “Domination Agreement”), the noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe are entitled to receive an annual recurring compensation amount of €0.83 per share. The Company recorded a total attribution of net income to the noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe of $8 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2021. This amount was recorded in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and the corresponding liability balance was recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Under the Domination Agreement, the noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe had a right to put (“Put Right”) their noncontrolling shares at €22.99 per share, increased annually for interest in the amount of five percentage points above a base rate published by the German Bundesbank semi-annually, less any compensation amount or guaranteed dividend already paid by McKesson with respect to the relevant time period (“Put Amount”). During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid $1.0 billion to purchase 34.5 million shares of McKesson Europe through exercises of the Put Right by the noncontrolling shareholders. This decreased the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests by $983 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, and the Company recorded the associated effect of the increase in the Company’s ownership interest of $178 million as an increase to McKesson stockholders’ additional paid-in capital. The Put Right expired on June 15, 2021, at which point the remaining shares owned by the minority shareholders, with a carrying value of $287 million, were transferred from “Redeemable noncontrolling interests” to “Noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests represent third-party equity interests in the Company’s consolidated entities primarily related to the formation of an oncology research business during the third quarter of fiscal 2023, ClarusONE Sourcing Services LLP, and Vantage Oncology Holdings, LLC. As discussed above, after June 15, 2021, noncontrolling interests also represented minority shareholder equity interests in McKesson Europe. The Company’s noncontrolling interest in McKesson Europe was included in the divestiture of the E.U. disposal group in October 2022. Refer to Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures,” for more information on these transactions.
The Company allocated $41 million and $46 million of net income to noncontrolling interests during the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $123 million and $128 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which was recorded in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

6. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is similar to that of basic earnings per common share, except that the former reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted stock units. Diluted loss per common share for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was calculated by excluding all dilutive securities from the denominator of the share computation due to their anti-dilutive effects. Less than 1 million of potentially dilutive securities for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share as they were anti-dilutive.

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and at an interim date, if indicators of potential impairment exist. During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company voluntarily changed its annual goodwill impairment testing date from October 1st to April 1st to align with a change in timing of the Company’s annual long-term planning process. Accordingly, management determined that the change in accounting principle is preferable under the circumstance. This change has been applied prospectively from April 1, 2022 as retrospective application is deemed impracticable due to the inability to objectively determine the assumptions and significant estimates used in earlier periods without the benefit of hindsight. This change was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as it did not delay, accelerate, or avoid any potential goodwill impairment charge. The annual impairment testing performed as of April 1, 2022 did not indicate an impairment of goodwill.

Long-Term Debt
The Company’s long-term debt includes both U.S. dollar and foreign currency-denominated borrowings. Debt outstanding totaled $5.9 billion at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, of which $404 million and $799 million, respectively, was included under the caption “Current portion of long-term debt” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. On December 15, 2022, the Company retired its $400 million outstanding principal amount of 2.70% notes upon maturity. These notes were repaid using cash on hand.
On July 23, 2021, the Company completed a cash tender offer for a portion of its existing outstanding (i) 2.85% Notes due 2023, (ii) 3.80% Notes due 2024, (iii) 7.65% Debentures due 2027, (iv) 3.95% Notes due 2028, (v) 4.75% Notes due 2029, (vi) 6.00% Notes due 2041, and (vii) 4.88% Notes due 2044 (collectively referred to herein as the “Tender Offer Notes”).

Revolving Credit Facilities
On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2022 Credit Facility”), that provides a syndicated $4.0 billion five-year senior unsecured credit facility with a $3.6 billion aggregate sublimit of availability in Canadian dollars, British pound sterling, and Euro. The 2022 Credit Facility replaced the Company’s previous syndicated $4.0 billion five-year senior unsecured credit facility, dated as of September 25, 2019, as amended (the “2020 Credit Facility”), which was scheduled to mature in September 2024. The 2020 Credit Facility was terminated in connection with the execution of the 2022 Credit Facility. There were no borrowings under the 2020 Credit Facility during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and no amounts outstanding at the time of its termination.
Borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility bear interest based upon the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for credit extensions denominated in U.S. dollars, the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate for credit extensions denominated in British pound sterling, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate for credit extensions denominated in Euros, the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate for credit extensions denominated in Canadian dollars, a prime rate, or alternative overnight rates, as applicable, plus agreed upon margins. The 2022 Credit Facility contains various customary investment grade covenants, including a financial covenant which obligates the Company to maintain a maximum Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio, as defined in the 2022 Credit Facility. If the Company does not comply with these covenants, its ability to use the 2022 Credit Facility may be suspended and repayment of any outstanding balances under the 2022 Credit Facility may be required. At December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the 2022 Credit Facility. The 2022 Credit Facility also permits the Company to establish key performance indicators with respect to certain environmental, social, and governance targets of the Company in consultation with certain sustainability coordinators, and enter into an amendment to the 2022 Credit Facility to provide for certain adjustments to the otherwise applicable facility fee and margins. The 2022 Credit Facility is scheduled to mature in November 2027. The remaining terms and conditions of the 2022 Credit Facility are substantially similar to those previously in place under the 2020 Credit Facility. The Company can use funds obtained under the 2022 Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. There were no borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and no amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2022.
The Company also maintained bilateral credit facilities primarily denominated in Euros which were transferred as part of the divestiture of the E.U. disposal group in October 2022. Borrowings and repayments were not material during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Amounts outstanding under these credit lines were not material as of March 31, 2022.
2022 Term Loan Credit Facility
On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2022 Term Loan Credit Facility”) pursuant to which the Company has an unsecured delayed draw term loan facility up to $500 million which was available for borrowing for 90 days after the closing date in up to three separate borrowings, and which is subject to increase as provided for in the 2022 Term Loan Credit Facility. The 2022 Term Loan Credit Facility contains various customary investment grade covenants, including a financial covenant which obligates the Company to maintain a maximum Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio, as defined in the 2022 Term Loan Credit Facility. At December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the 2022 Term Loan Credit Facility. In the case of event of default under the 2022 Term Loan Credit Facility, the lenders may elect, among other things, to declare any unpaid amounts obtained under the 2022 Term Loan Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. The 2022 Term Loan Credit Facility bears interest based upon Term SOFR, a prime rate, or alternative overnight rates, as applicable, plus agreed upon margins. The remaining terms and conditions of the 2022 Term Loan Credit Facility are substantially similar to those under the 2022 Credit Facility. The Company can use funds obtained under the 2022 Term Loan Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $500 million in borrowings outstanding under the 2022 Term Loan Credit Facility which bear interest at three-month Term SOFR plus 110 basis points, payable quarterly, and mature on November 7, 2025.
Commercial Paper
The Company maintains a commercial paper program to support its working capital requirements and for other general corporate purposes. Under the program, the Company can issue up to $4.0 billion in outstanding commercial paper notes. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company borrowed $1.1 billion and repaid $483 million under the program. During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company borrowed $3.6 billion and repaid $3.3 billion under the program. At December 31, 2022, there were $617 million commercial paper notes outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 4.73%. At March 31, 2022, there were no commercial paper notes outstanding.

9. Pension Benefits
The net periodic expense for defined benefit pension plans was not material for each of the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Cash contributions to these plans were $2 million and $18 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $7 million and $35 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The cash contributions for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 included a $17 million payment to a U.K. pension plan. The projected unit credit method is utilized in measuring net periodic pension expense over the employees’ service life for the pension plans. Unrecognized actuarial losses exceeding 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market value of assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining future service periods and estimated life expectancy.
As part of the European divestiture activities discussed in more detail in Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures,” pension liabilities of $85 million, as part of the E.U. disposal group, and pension assets of $49 million, as part of the U.K. disposal group, were included under the captions “Liabilities held for sale” and “Assets held for sale,” respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company derecognized pension liabilities totaling $75 million and released $13 million of gains from accumulated other comprehensive loss related the divestiture of the E.U. disposal group. During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company derecognized pension assets of $49 million and released $30 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the divestiture of the U.K. disposal group.
10. Hedging Activities
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. At times, the Company limits these risks through the use of derivatives as described below. In accordance with the Company’s policy, derivatives are only used for hedging purposes. It does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company uses different counterparties for its derivative contracts to minimize the exposure to credit risk but does not anticipate non-performance by these parties.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The Company conducts its business worldwide in U.S. dollars and the functional currencies of its foreign subsidiaries, including Euro, Canadian dollars, and British pound sterling. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results that are reported in U.S. dollars. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to its foreign subsidiaries, including intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company has certain foreign currency exchange rate risk programs that use foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps. These forward contracts and cross-currency swaps are generally used to offset the potential income statement effects from intercompany loans and other obligations denominated in non-functional currencies. These programs reduce but do not entirely eliminate foreign currency exchange rate risk. Subsequent to the completion of the U.K. divestiture in April 2022 as discussed in Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures,” the Company’s foreign currency exchange rate risk is limited to the Canadian dollar and Euro.
Non-Derivative Instruments Designated as Hedges
At March 31, 2022, the Company had €1.1 billion of Euro-denominated notes designated as non-derivative net investment hedges. These hedges were utilized to hedge portions of the Company’s net investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar. For all notes that were designated as net investment hedges and meet effectiveness requirements, the changes in carrying value of the notes attributable to the change in spot rates were recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) where they offset foreign currency translation gains and losses recorded on the Company’s net investments. To the extent foreign currency denominated notes designated as net investment hedges were ineffective, changes in carrying value attributable to the change in spot rates are recorded in earnings.
McKESSON CORPORATION
FINANCIAL NOTES (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
In connection with the sale of the E.U. disposal group in October 2022, the Company reclassified $112 million of gains from accumulated other comprehensive loss to “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022. This amount related to the €1.1 billion of Euro-denominated notes described above, along with certain other Euro-denominated notes which were previously accounted for as net investment hedges and matured in prior periods, and was included in the fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 calculations of charges to remeasure the assets and liabilities of the disposal group to fair value less costs to sell.
In connection with the sale of the U.K. disposal group in April 2022, the Company reclassified $26 million of gains from accumulated other comprehensive loss to “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2022. This amount related to the Company’s £450 million of British pound sterling-denominated notes, which were previously accounted for as net investment hedges until de-designated in fiscal 2020, and was included in the fiscal 2022 calculation of charges to remeasure the assets and liabilities of the disposal group to fair value less costs to sell.

(3)The Company agreed with third parties to exchange fixed interest payments in British pound sterling for floating interest payments in U.S. dollars based on three-month LIBOR plus a spread.
(4)The Company entered into cross-currency fixed-to-fixed interest rate swaps to mitigate the foreign currency exchange fluctuations on its Euro-denominated notes.
McKESSON CORPORATION
FINANCIAL NOTES (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
(5)The Company entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to hedge the changes in fair value caused by fluctuations in the benchmark interest rates.
(6)The Company entered into agreements with financial institutions to lock into the fixed benchmark interest rates for future bond issuance, which were terminated during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 as further discussed below.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company uses cross-currency swaps to hedge portions of the Company’s net investments denominated in Canadian dollars against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar. The changes in the fair value of these derivatives attributable to the changes in spot currency exchange rates and differences between spot and forward interest rates are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and offset foreign currency translation gains and losses recorded on the Company’s net investments denominated in Canadian dollars. To the extent cross-currency swaps designated as hedges are ineffective, changes in carrying value attributable to the change in spot rates are recorded in earnings.
Fair Value Hedges
The Company uses cross-currency swaps to hedge the changes in the fair value of British pound sterling notes resulting from changes in benchmark interest rates and foreign exchange rates. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into cross-currency fixed-to-fixed interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of €1.1 billion to hedge the changes in the fair value of its underlying Euro-denominated notes resulting from changes in benchmark interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company also entered into floating interest rate swaps to convert $750 million of its fixed rate debt to floating interest rate in order to hedge the changes in fair value caused by fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate. The changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in “Interest expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The changes in the fair value of these derivatives and the offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged notes are recorded in earnings. Gains from the changes in the Company’s fair value hedges recorded in earnings were largely offset by the losses recorded in earnings on the hedged item.
Cash Flow Hedges
From time to time, the Company enters into cross-currency swaps to hedge intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies to reduce the income statement effects arising from fluctuations in foreign currency rates and also enters into forward contracts to hedge the variability future benchmark interest rates on planned bond issuances. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of these hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in fair values representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings. Gains or losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recorded in “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were not material for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company terminated its $500 million notional fixed interest rate swaps and recognized a gain of $97 million within “Other income, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are marked-to-market at the end of each accounting period with the change in fair value included in earnings. From time to time, the Company has entered into forward contracts to hedge the Euro against cash flows denominated in British pound sterling and other European currencies. Changes in the fair values for contracts not designated as hedges were recorded directly into earnings in “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair values were not material for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and the Company did not have any outstanding derivative instruments not designated as hedges during fiscal 2023. Gains or losses from these contracts were largely offset by changes in the value of the underlying intercompany obligations.

11. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - significant other observable market-based inputs.
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists and requires considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 included investments in money market funds of $696 million and $981 million, respectively, which are reported at fair value. The fair value of money market funds was determined using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets, which are considered to be Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. The carrying value of all other cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to their relatively short-term nature. The Company’s marketable securities were not material at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022.
Fair values of the Company’s interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps were determined using observable inputs from available market information, including quoted interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and other observable inputs from available market information. These inputs are considered Level 2 under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Refer to Financial Note 10, “Hedging Activities,” for fair value and other information on the Company’s derivatives.
The Company holds investments in equity securities of U.S. growth stage companies that address both current and emerging business challenges in the healthcare industry and which had carrying values of $253 million and $346 million at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. These investments primarily consist of equity securities without readily determinable fair values and are included in “Other non-current assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized impairment charges and realized gains on the exit of certain investments. During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, certain of the Company’s investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values were remeasured to fair value based on transactions which resulted in changes in the observable price of those securities. The impact from the Company’s investments in these equity securities were net losses of $24 million and net gains of $104 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These amounts were recorded in “Other income, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The carrying value of publicly-traded investments, which was not material for the periods presented, was determined using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets and are considered to be Level 1 inputs.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company’s assets and liabilities are also subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges or charges to remeasure assets classified as held for sale to fair value less costs to sell.
At December 31, 2022, the contingent consideration liability related to the Company’s acquisition of RxSS in November 2022 was measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. At March 31, 2022, the assets and liabilities associated with the disposal groups in Europe previously classified as held for sale were measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The E.U. disposal group was divested in October 2022 and the U.K. disposal group was divested in April 2022. Refer to Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures," for more information on these transactions. At March 31, 2022, assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis also included certain long-lived assets within the International segment related to the Company’s previous operations in Denmark and its retail pharmacy businesses in Canada.
McKESSON CORPORATION
FINANCIAL NOTES (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
The aforementioned investments in equity securities of U.S. growth stage companies include the carrying value of investments without readily determinable fair values, which were determined using a measurement alternative and are recorded at cost less impairment, plus or minus any changes in observable price from orderly transactions of the same or similar security of the same issuer. The inputs related to changes in observable price are considered Level 2 under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Inputs related to impairments of investments are generally considered Level 3 fair value measurements due to their inherently unobservable nature based on significant assumptions by management and use of company-specific information.
There were no other material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
At December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the carrying amounts of cash, certain cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, receivables, drafts and accounts payable, short-term borrowings, and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
The Company determines the fair value of commercial paper using quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments, which are considered Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance.
The Company’s long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost. The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was as follows:
| December 31, 2022 | March 31, 2022 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (In millions) | Carrying Value | Fair Value | Carrying Value | Fair Value | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Long-term debt, including current maturities | $ | 5,856 | $ | 5,607 | $ | 5,879 | $ | 5,999 |
The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was determined using quoted market prices in a less active market and other observable inputs from available market information, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash, included within “Prepaid expenses and other” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, primarily consisted of $395 million as of March 31, 2022 held in escrow related to obligations under settlement agreements for opioid-related claims of governmental entities and were released during the nine months ended December 31, 2022, as discussed in more detail in Financial Note 12, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.”
Goodwill
Fair value assessments of the reporting unit and the reporting unit's net assets, which are performed for goodwill impairment tests, are considered a Level 3 measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information. The Company considered a market approach as well as an income approach using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model to determine the fair value of each reporting unit.
Long-lived Assets
The Company measures certain long-lived and intangible assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when events occur that indicate an asset group may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset group is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the carrying amount by the excess over its fair value.
The Company utilizes multiple approaches, including the DCF model and market approaches, for estimating the fair value of intangible assets. The future cash flows used in the analysis are based on internal cash flow projections from its long-range plans and include significant assumptions by management. Accordingly, the fair value assessment of long-lived assets is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.

12. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
In addition to commitments and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to a variety of claims and legal proceedings, including claims from customers and vendors, pending and potential legal actions for damages, governmental investigations, and other matters. The Company and its affiliates are parties to the legal claims and proceedings described below and in Financial Note 18 to the Company’s 2022 Annual Report, Financial Note 12 to the Company’s 10-Q filing for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2022, and Financial Note 12 to the Company’s 10-Q filing for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2022, which disclosure is incorporated in this footnote by this reference. The Company is vigorously defending itself against those claims and in those proceedings. Significant developments in those matters are described below. If the Company is unsuccessful in defending, or if it determines to settle, any of these matters, it may be required to pay substantial sums, be subject to injunction and/or be forced to change how it operates its business, which could have a material adverse impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Unless otherwise stated, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the loss or a range of possible loss for the matters described below. Often, the Company is unable to determine that a loss is probable, or to reasonably estimate the amount of loss or a range of loss, for a claim because of the limited information available and the potential effects of future events and decisions by third parties, such as courts and regulators, that will determine the ultimate resolution of the claim. Many of the matters described are at preliminary stages, raise novel theories of liability, or seek an indeterminate amount of damages. It is not uncommon for claims to remain unresolved over many years. The Company reviews loss contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and whether it can make a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss. When the Company determines that a loss from a claim is probable and reasonably estimable, it records a liability for an estimated amount. The Company also provides disclosure when it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed its recorded liability. Amounts included within “Claims and litigation charges, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations consist of estimated loss contingencies related to opioid-related litigation matters.
I. Litigation and Claims Involving Distribution of Controlled Substances
The Company and its affiliates have been sued as defendants in many cases asserting claims related to distribution of controlled substances. They have been named as defendants along with other pharmaceutical wholesale distributors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and retail pharmacy chains. The plaintiffs in these actions have included state attorneys general, county and municipal governments, school districts, tribal nations, hospitals, health and welfare funds, third-party payors, and individuals. These actions have been filed in state and federal courts throughout the U.S., and in Puerto Rico and Canada. They seek monetary damages and other forms of relief based on a variety of causes of action, including negligence, public nuisance, unjust enrichment, and civil conspiracy, as well as alleging violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), state and federal controlled substances laws, and other statutes.
The Company and two other national pharmaceutical distributors (collectively “Distributors”) settled with 46 of 49 eligible states and their participating subdivisions, as well as the District of Columbia and all eligible territories (collectively, “Settling Governmental Entities”) effective on April 2, 2022 (“Settlement”). Under the Settlement, the Distributors will pay the Settling Governmental Entities up to approximately $19.5 billion over 18 years, with up to approximately $7.4 billion to be paid by the Company for its 38.1% portion. A minimum of 85% of the Settlement payments must be used by state and local governmental entities to remediate the opioid epidemic. Most of the remaining percentage relates to plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs, and would be payable over a shorter time period. Under the Settlement, the Distributors will establish a clearinghouse to consolidate their controlled-substance distribution data, which will be available to the settling U.S. states to use as part of their anti-diversion efforts. The Distributors do not admit liability or wrongdoing and do not waive any defenses pursuant to the Settlement. Consent judgments have been entered in all participating states and territories, and approximately 2,300 cases have been dismissed pursuant to the Settlement.
McKESSON CORPORATION
FINANCIAL NOTES (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
Three eligible states, Alabama, Washington, and Oklahoma did not join the Settlement, but they have all reached agreements with the Company. With respect to the claims of the Alabama attorney general, the Company has an agreement under which the Company will pay $141 million in ten equal annual installments and an additional approximately $33 million in attorney fees and costs to resolve the opioid-related claims of the state of Alabama and its subdivisions. Under an agreement with the attorney general of Washington to settle the claims of the state of Washington and its subdivisions, the Distributors will pay up to $518 million over 18 years, of which the Company’s portion will be 38.1% (or approximately $197 million), consistent with Washington’s allocation under the comprehensive framework, as well as certain additional attorneys’ fees and costs. Under an agreement with the attorney general of Oklahoma to settle claims of the state of Oklahoma and its subdivisions, the Distributors will pay up to approximately $308 million over 18 years, of which the Company’s portion would be 38.1% (or approximately $117 million), consistent with Oklahoma’s allocation under the comprehensive framework.
The Company previously settled with the state of West Virginia, and West Virginia and its subdivisions were not eligible to participate in the comprehensive Settlement. Trial in the case of Cabell County and the City of Huntington occurred in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia and concluded on July 28, 2021. On July 4, 2022, the court entered judgment in defendants’ favor. On August 2, 2022, the plaintiffs filed an appeal. The claims of certain other West Virginia subdivisions were pending in the federal Multidistrict Litigation and before the state Mass Litigation Panel. On July 5, 2022, the Mass Litigation Panel entered an order noting an agreement in principle between a group of plaintiffs’ attorneys representing the municipalities and the Distributors. Under the settlement agreement with the participating West Virginia municipalities, the Distributors will pay $400 million over approximately 11 years, with the Company responsible for 38.1% of the total amount (or approximately $152 million). All participating litigating subdivisions have dismissed their claims against the Company. The agreement does not include school districts or the claims of Cabell County and the City of Huntington.
With respect to the claims of Native American tribes, on September 28, 2021, the Company announced that the Distributors reached an agreement with the Cherokee Nation to pay approximately $75 million over 6.5 years to resolve opioid-related claims, of which the Company’s portion will be 38.1% (or approximately $29 million). The Company has also negotiated an agreement to resolve opioid-related claims brought by other Native American tribes. Under that agreement, which was executed on October 26, 2022, the Distributors will pay those other Native American tribes approximately $440 million over 6 years, of which the Company’s portion will be 38.1% (or, approximately $167 million). The agreement achieves broad resolution of opioid-related claims brought against the Distributors by federally recognized Native American tribes. Under these agreements, a minimum of 85% of the settlement payments must be used by the Native American tribes to remediate the opioid epidemic.
Although the Settlement terminated the substantial majority of opioid-related suits by governmental entities pending against the Company, a small number of subdivisions have opted not to participate in the settlements described above. The Company continues to prepare for trial in these pending matters and believes that it has valid defenses to the claims pending against it, and it intends to vigorously defend against all such claims if acceptable settlement terms are not achieved. The Company’s loss contingency accruals for these subdivisions are reflected in the estimated liability for the opioid-related claims consistent with what would be allocated under the framework of the Settlement.
The Company’s estimated accrued liability for the opioid-related claims of governmental entities was as follows:
| (In millions) | December 31, 2022 | March 31, 2022 | |||||||||
| Current litigation liabilities (1) | $ | 598 | $ | 1,046 | |||||||
| Long-term litigation liabilities | 6,642 | 7,220 | |||||||||
| Total litigation liabilities | $ | 7,240 | $ | 8,266 |
(1)These amounts as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are the amounts estimated to be paid within the next twelve months following each respective period end date.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company paid $106 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, associated with the Settlement and separate settlement agreements of opioid-related claims of participating states, subdivisions, and Native American tribes. In conjunction with the payments made in the nine months ended December 31, 2022, all funds have been released from escrow.
McKESSON CORPORATION
FINANCIAL NOTES (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
Though the vast majority of opioid claims have been brought by governmental entities in the U.S., the Company is also a defendant in cases brought in the U.S. by private plaintiffs, such as hospitals, health and welfare funds, third-party payors, and individuals, as well as four cases brought in Canada (three by governmental or tribal entities and one by an individual). These claims, and those of private entities generally, are not included in the Settlement or in the charges recorded by the Company, described above. The Company believes it has valid legal defenses in these matters and intends to mount a vigorous defense. One such case was brought by a group of individual plaintiffs in Glynn County, Georgia Superior Court seeking to recover for damages allegedly arising from their family members’ abuse of prescription opioids; trial began on January 30, 2023. Poppell v. Cardinal Health, Inc., CE19-00472. In another, several hospitals brought suit in the Circuit Court of Conecuh County, Alabama; trial on the claims of eight of these hospitals is currently scheduled for July 2023. Fort Payne Hospital Corporation et al. v. McKesson Corp., CV-2021-900016. The Company has not concluded a loss is probable in any of these matters; nor is any possible loss or range of loss reasonably estimable.
Because of the many uncertainties associated with the remaining opioid-related litigation matters, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the upper or lower ends of the range of ultimate possible loss for all opioid-related litigation matters. An adverse judgment or negotiated resolution in any of these matters could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or liquidity, or results of operations.
II. Government Subpoenas and Investigations
From time to time, the Company receives subpoenas or requests for information from various government agencies. The Company generally responds to such subpoenas and requests in a cooperative, thorough and timely manner. These responses sometimes require time and effort and can result in considerable costs being incurred by the Company. Such subpoenas and requests can lead to the assertion of claims or the commencement of civil or criminal legal proceedings against the Company and other members of the health care industry, as well as to settlements of claims against the Company. The Company responds to these requests in the ordinary course of business.
III. State Opioid Statutes
In April 2018, the State of New York Opioid Stewardship Act (“OSA”) imposed an aggregate $100 million annual surcharge for 2017 and 2018 on all manufacturers and distributors licensed to sell or distribute opioids in New York. Pending resolution of a challenge to the OSA filed by the Healthcare Distribution Alliance (“HDA”), the Company accrued its estimated OSA surcharges as a $50 million provision in “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 31, 2021 and in “Other accrued liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2021. In December 2021, after the HDA challenge was dismissed, the Company paid $26 million for the 2017 OSA surcharge assessment. On May 18, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit in New York state court challenging the constitutionality of the OSA. In November 2022, the Company received a 2018 OSA surcharge assessment of approximately $42 million, and therefore the Company accrued an additional $18 million provision in “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022. On December 14, 2022, the state court ruled that the OSA is constitutional. In December 2022, the Company paid $11 million as the first installment of the 2018 OSA surcharge assessment. The Company’s OSA challenge is pending before the New York Appellate Division. The Company reserves its rights and intends to vigorously challenge the OSA and the OSA surcharge assessments.
IV. Antitrust Settlements
In October 2022, the Company received proceeds of $129 million related to its share of an antitrust settlement. A lawsuit was filed against a brand manufacturer alleging that the manufacturer, by itself or in concert with others, took improper actions to delay or prevent generic drugs from entering the market. The Company was not a named party to the litigation but was a member of the class of those who purchased directly from the pharmaceutical manufacturer. The Company recognized a gain in that amount within "Cost of sales" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 related to the settlement.

V. Environmental Matters
Primarily as a result of the operation of the Company’s former chemical businesses, which were fully divested by 1987, the Company is involved in various matters pursuant to environmental laws and regulations. The Company has been designated as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) under the Superfund law for environmental assessment and cleanup costs as the result of its alleged disposal of hazardous substances at 14 sites. For one such site, the Company was one of multiple recipients of a New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Agency directive and a separate U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) directive concerning natural resources damages to the Passaic River associated with the Company's Newark, New Jersey facility. In March 2016, the EPA selected a preferred remedy for this Lower Passaic River site with an estimated cost of approximately $1.4 billion. In December 2022, the Company entered into a Consent Decree with the EPA that is currently pending approval by the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and requires the Company to pay $3 million, which had already been accrued for in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on past estimated probable loss.
13. Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)
Each share of the Company’s outstanding common stock is permitted one vote on proposals presented to stockholders and is entitled to participate equally in any dividends declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
In July 2022, the quarterly dividend was raised from $0.47 to $0.54 per common share for dividends declared on or after such date by the Board. The Company anticipates that it will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment and amount of future dividends remain within the discretion of the Board and will depend upon the Company's future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.
Share Repurchase Plans
The Board has authorized the repurchase of McKesson’s common stock. Stock repurchases may be made from time-to-time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, through 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, as amended. 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. The ASR programs discussed below were designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c).
In December 2022, the Company entered into an ASR program with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $972 million of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the ASR agreement, the Company paid $972 million in cash to the financial institution and received an initial delivery of 2.2 million shares in December 2022. The transaction will be completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, at which point the Company expects to receive additional shares. The final number of shares repurchased and the average price per share paid will be determined based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR program, less a pre-negotiated discount.
In May 2022, 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 3.1 million shares at an average price per share of $321.05. The Company received 2.6 million shares as the initial share settlement, and in August 2022, the Company received an additional 0.5 million shares upon the completion of this ASR program.
In February 2022, the Company entered into an ASR program with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $1.5 billion of the Company’s common stock. The total number of shares repurchased under this ASR program was 5.1 million shares at an average price per share of $295.16. The Company received 4.8 million shares as the initial share settlement in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, and in May 2022, the Company received an additional 0.3 million shares upon the completion of this ASR program.
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, 2022, the Company repurchased 2.7 million of the Company’s shares of common stock for $1.0 billion through open market transactions at an average price per share of $370.13. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 1.5 million of the Company’s shares of common stock for $524 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $355.75. There were no open market share repurchases during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 3.3 million of the Company’s shares of common stock 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 that were executed in late December 2021 and settled in early January 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repurchased 1.4 million of the Company’s shares of common stock 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.
In July 2022, the Board approved an increase of $4.0 billion in the authorization for repurchase of McKesson’s common stock. The total remaining authorization outstanding for repurchases of the Company’s common stock at December 31, 2022 was $3.8 billion.

14. Segments of Business
The Company reports its financial results in four reportable segments: U.S. Pharmaceutical, RxTS, Medical-Surgical Solutions, and International. The 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 the individual business activities. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments on a number of measures, including revenues and operating profit (loss) before interest expense and income taxes. Assets by operating segment are not reviewed by management for the purpose of assessing performance or allocating resources.
The U.S. Pharmaceutical segment 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.
The RxTS segment serves McKesson’s biopharma and life sciences partners and helps solve medication access, affordability, and adherence challenges for patients. RxTS works across healthcare to connect patients, pharmacies, providers, pharmacy benefit managers, health plans, and biopharma to deliver innovative solutions that help people get the medicine they need to live healthier lives. RxTS also offers prescription price transparency, benefit insight, dispensing support services, third-party logistics, and wholesale distribution support across various therapeutic categories and temperature ranges to biopharma customers throughout the product lifecycle.
The Medical-Surgical Solutions segment provides medical-surgical supply distribution, logistics, and other services to healthcare providers, including physician offices, surgery centers, nursing homes, hospital reference labs, and home health care agencies. This segment offers more than 285,000 national brand medical-surgical products as well as McKesson’s own line of high-quality products through a network of distribution centers within the U.S.
The International segment includes the Company’s operations in Europe and Canada, bringing together non-U.S.-based drug distribution services, specialty pharmacy, retail, and infusion care services. The Company’s remaining operations in Europe provide distribution and services to wholesale, institutional, and retail customers in Norway where it owns, partners, or franchises with retail pharmacies. The Company’s Canadian operations deliver vital medicines, supplies, and information technology solutions throughout Canada and includes Rexall Health retail pharmacies. International segment assets at December 31, 2022 were $6.2 billion, a decrease from the end of fiscal 2022 primarily due to the completed divestitures of the E.U. disposal group in October 2022 and the U.K. disposal group in April 2022, along with unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Refer to Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures,” for more information.
