Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information We report our operations in two operating segments: McKesson Distribution Solutions and McKesson Technology Solutions. The factors for determining the reportable segments included the manner in which management evaluates the performance of the Company combined with the nature of the individual business activities. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments on a number of measures, including operating profit before interest expense, income taxes and results from discontinued operations. Financial information relating to our reportable operating segments and reconciliations to the condensed consolidated totals is as follows:

(2) | Distribution Solutions operating profit for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 include $33 million and $215 million in pre-tax charges related to our last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of accounting for inventories. The third quarter and first nine months of 2015 include pre-tax LIFO charges of $95 million and $287 million. LIFO expense for the third quarter of 2016 includes a gross charge of $65 million, partially offset by a $32 million reversal of a portion of the LIFO expense recorded in the first half of 2016 due to a change in estimate. LIFO expense was less in 2016 primarily due to lower full year expectations for price increases. The third quarter and first nine months of 2016 include $17 million and $76 million of net cash proceeds representing our share of net settlements of antitrust class action lawsuits against drug manufacturers. Additionally, the first nine months of 2016 include a pre-tax gain of $52 million recognized from the sale of our ZEE Medical business.
