Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
Investment in Change Healthcare Joint Venture | Investment in Change Healthcare Joint Venture Until the separation of its interest in the Change Healthcare JV on March 10, 2020, the Company accounted for its interest in the joint venture using the equity method of accounting with a one-month reporting lag, with disclosure made for any intervening events of the joint venture in the lag period that could materially affect its condensed consolidated financial statements. Effective April 1, 2019, the Change Healthcare JV adopted the amended revenue recognition guidance. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded its proportionate share of the joint venture’s adoption impact of the amended revenue recognition guidance of approximately $80 million, net of tax, to the Company’s opening retained earnings. On June 27, 2019, common stock and certain other securities of Change Healthcare Inc. (“Change”) began trading on the NASDAQ (“IPO”). Change was a holding company and did not own any material assets or have any operations other than its interest in the Change Healthcare JV. On July 1, 2019, upon the completion of its IPO, Change received net cash proceeds of approximately $888 million. Change contributed the proceeds of $609 million from its offering of common stock to the Change Healthcare JV in exchange for additional membership interests of the Change Healthcare JV (“LLC Units”) at the equivalent of its offering price of $13 per share. The proceeds of $279 million from the concurrent offering of other securities were used by Change to acquire certain securities of the Change Healthcare JV that substantially mirrored the terms of other securities included in the offering by Change. As a result, McKesson’s equity interest in the Change Healthcare JV was diluted from approximately 70% to approximately 58.5% while Change owned approximately 41.5% of the outstanding LLC Units. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2020, the Company recognized a pre-tax dilution loss of $246 million primarily representing the difference between its proportionate share of the IPO proceeds and the dilution effect on the investment’s carrying value. These items were included in Equity earnings and charges from investment in Change Healthcare Joint Venture in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019. The Company’s proportionate share of income or loss from this investment was subsequently reduced as immaterial settlements of stock option exercises occurred after the IPO. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charge of $1.2 billion to its investment in the Change Healthcare JV, representing the difference between the carrying value of the Company’s investment and the fair value derived from the corresponding closing price of Change’s common stock at September 30, 2019. This charge was included in Equity earnings and charges from investment in Change Healthcare Joint Venture in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. The Company recorded its proportionate share of loss from its investment in Change Healthcare JV of $28 million and $75 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019. The Company’s proportionate share of income or loss from this investment included integration expenses incurred by Change Healthcare JV and basis differences between the joint venture and McKesson, including amortization of fair value adjustments primarily representing incremental intangible assets. These amounts were included within Equity earnings and charges from investment in Change Healthcare Joint Venture in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019. On March 10, 2020, the Company completed the previously announced separation of its interest in the Change Healthcare JV which eliminated the Company’s investment in the joint venture. Related Party Transactions While a party to the joint venture, the Company had various ancillary agreements related to the Change Healthcare JV, including transition services agreements (“TSA”), a transaction and advisory fee agreement (“Advisory Agreement”), a tax receivable agreement (“TRA”), and certain other agreements. Revenues recognized and expenses incurred under these agreements with the Change Healthcare JV were not material during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020 and the three months ended December 31, 2019. Fees earned from the TSA were $18 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. Under the agreement executed in 2019 between the Change Healthcare JV, McKesson, Change, and certain subsidiaries of the Change Healthcare JV, McKesson had the ability to adjust the manner in which certain depreciation or amortization deductions are allocated among Change and McKesson. McKesson exercised its right under the agreement and allocated certain depreciation and amortization deductions to Change for the tax years ended March 31, 2019 and 2020. After McKesson’s separation of its interest in the Change Healthcare JV, the aforementioned TRA agreement requires the Change Healthcare JV to pay McKesson 85% of the net cash tax savings realized, or deemed to be realized, by Change resulting from the depreciation or amortization allocated to Change by McKesson. The receipt of any payments from the Change Healthcare JV under the TRA is dependent upon Change benefiting from this depreciation or amortization in future tax return filings. This creates uncertainty over the amount, timing, and probability of the gain recognized. As such, the Company accounts for the TRA as a gain contingency, with no receivable recognized as of December 31, 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2020 in conjunction with the separation transaction, the Company recorded a reversal of the deferred tax liability related to its investment. Under the agreement with the Change Healthcare JV, McKesson, Change, and certain subsidiaries of the Change Healthcare JV, there may be changes in future periods to the amount reversed as the relevant periods are audited by tax authorities. Any such change is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
