Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Balances and Transactions | Related Party Balances and Transactions During the fourth quarter of 2018, a public benefit California foundation (“Foundation”) was established to provide opioid education to patients, caregivers, and providers, address policy issues, and increase patient access to life-saving treatments. Certain officers of the Company also serve as directors and officers of the Foundation. In March 2018, we made a pledge to the Foundation and incurred a pre-tax charitable contribution expense of $100 million ($64 million after-tax) for 2018, which was recorded under the caption, “Selling, distribution and administrative expenses,” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company had a pledge payable balance of $100 million to the Foundation as of March 31, 2018, which was included under the caption, “Other accrued liabilities,” in our consolidated balance sheet. The pledge is binding and enforceable and is expected to be paid in the first quarter of 2019. McKesson Europe has investments in pharmacies located across Europe that are accounted for under the equity method. McKesson Europe maintains distribution arrangements with these pharmacies for the sale of related goods and services under which revenues of $154 million, $112 million, and $112 million are included in our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 and receivables of $15 million and $12 million are included in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2018 and 2017.
