Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segments of Business | Segments of Business Commencing in the first quarter of 2019, a new segment reporting structure was implemented, and we report our financial results in three reportable segments on a retrospective basis: U.S. Pharmaceutical and Specialty Solutions, European Pharmaceutical Solutions and Medical-Surgical Solutions. All remaining operating segments and business activities that are not significant enough to require separate reportable segment disclosure are included in Other also on a retrospective basis. 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 operations. Assets by operating segment are not reviewed by management for the purpose of assessing performance or allocating resources. Our U.S. Pharmaceutical and Specialty Solutions segment distributes pharmaceutical and other healthcare-related products and also provides pharmaceutical solutions to pharmaceutical manufacturers in the United States. Our European Pharmaceutical Solutions segment provides distribution and services to wholesale, institutional and retail customers and serves patients and consumers in 13 European countries through our own pharmacies and participating pharmacies that operate under brand partnership and franchise arrangements. Our Medical-Surgical Solutions segment distributes medical-surgical supplies and provides logistics and other services to healthcare providers in the United States. Other primarily consists of the following:
• | McKesson Canada which distributes pharmaceutical and medical products and operates Rexall Health retail pharmacies;
• | McKesson Prescription Technology Solutions which provides innovative technologies that support retail pharmacies; and
• | Our 70% equity ownership interest in a joint venture, Change Healthcare, which is accounted for by us using the equity investment method of accounting.
Financial information relating to our reportable operating segments and reconciliations to the condensed consolidated totals is as follows:
