Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
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 (“Quarterly Report”) and in Item 8 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 9, 2025 (“2025 Annual Report”).
Our fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. Unless otherwise noted, all references to a particular year refer to our fiscal year.
Certain statements in this report constitute forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Notice About Forward-Looking Statements” included in this Quarterly Report.
Overview of our Business:
We are a diversified healthcare services leader dedicated to advancing health outcomes for patients everywhere. Our teams partner 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.
We implemented a new segment reporting structure commencing in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, which resulted in four reportable segments: North American Pharmaceutical, Oncology & Multispecialty, Prescription Technology Solutions (“RxTS”), and Medical-Surgical Solutions. Our Norwegian operations are included in Other. All prior segment information has been recast to reflect our new segment structure and current period presentation. Our organizational structure also includes Corporate, which consists of income and expenses associated with administrative functions and projects, as well as 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.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
The following summarizes our four reportable segments. Refer to Financial Note 13, “Segments of Business,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further information regarding our reportable segments.
-
North American Pharmaceutical** is a reportable segment that provides distribution and logistics services for branded, generic, specialty, biosimilar and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs along with other healthcare-related products to wholesale and institutional customers in the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada. In addition, the segment sells financial, operational, and clinical solutions to pharmacies (retail, hospital, alternate sites) and provides consulting, outsourcing, technological, and other services. The U.S. distribution operations was previously included in the former U.S. Pharmaceutical reportable segment and the Canadian operations was previously included in the former International reportable segment.
-
Oncology & Multispecialty** is a reportable segment that includes provider solutions that encompass specialty drug distribution, group purchasing organizations, infusion services, direct to patient pharmacy capabilities, cell and gene therapy services with InspiroGene, technology solutions, practice consulting services, and vaccine distribution. In addition, the segment supports one of the largest networks of physician-led, integrated, community-based oncology practices dedicated to advancing high-quality, evidence-based cancer care in the U.S. The segment also includes PRISM Vision Holdings, LLC (“PRISM Vision”), which drives patient outcomes in a retina and ophthalmology setting. Combined with Sarah Cannon Research Institute and our technology business, Ontada, this segment provides research, insights, technologies, and services that address and improve cancer and specialty care. This segment was previously reflected in the former U.S. Pharmaceutical reportable segment.
-
Prescription Technology Solutions** is a reportable segment that combines automation and our ability to navigate the healthcare ecosystem to connect patients, pharmacies, providers, pharmacy benefit managers, health plans, and biopharma companies to address patients’ medication access, affordability, and adherence challenges. RxTS offers technology services, which includes electronic prior authorization, prescription price transparency, benefit insight, dispensing support services, in addition to third-party logistics, and wholesale distribution support across various therapeutic categories and temperature ranges to biopharma customers throughout the product lifecycle.
-
Medical-Surgical Solutions** is a reportable segment that provides medical-surgical supply distribution, logistics, and other services to healthcare providers, operating in ambulatory care environments, such as physician offices, surgery centers, and hospital reference labs, as well as extended care settings, including nursing homes and home health care agencies. This segment offers 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. On May 8th, 2025, we announced our intention to separate this segment into an independent company.

McKESSON CORPORATION
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
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 Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 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, 2025 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 11, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in Financial Note 17, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, 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.

Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of common stock. We may repurchase common stock from time-to-time through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase 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 Exchange Act. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including our stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, tax implications, restrictions under our debt obligations, other uses for capital, impacts on the value of remaining shares, cash generated from operations, and market and economic conditions.
