FINANCIAL NOTES
(UNAUDITED)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations: McKesson Corporation together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “McKesson,”) is a diversified healthcare services leader dedicated to advancing health outcomes for patients everywhere. McKesson partners 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. The Company reports its financial results in four reportable segments: U.S. Pharmaceutical, Prescription Technology Solutions (“RxTS”), Medical-Surgical Solutions, and International. Refer to Financial Note 12, “Segments of Business,” for additional information.
Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and therefore do not include all information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of McKesson include the financial statements of all majority-owned or controlled companies. For those consolidated subsidiaries where the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the portion of the net income or loss allocable to the noncontrolling interests is reported as “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests includes third-party equity interests in the Company’s consolidated entities, including ClarusONE Sourcing Services LLP, Vantage Oncology Holdings, LLC, and SCRI Oncology, LLC.
The Company considers itself to control an entity if it is the majority owner of or has voting control over such entity. The Company also assesses control through means other than voting rights and determines which business entity is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company consolidates VIEs when it is determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Investments in business entities in which the Company does not have control, but instead has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method.
Fiscal Period: The Company’s fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. Unless otherwise noted, all references to a particular year means the Company’s fiscal year.
Reclassifications: Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of these financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimated amounts. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of McKesson for the interim periods presented.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be anticipated for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements, accounting policies, and financial notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, previously filed with the SEC on May 8, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”).
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
There were no accounting standards adopted during the six months ended September 30, 2024 that had a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure s. ASU 2023-09 improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring, on an annual basis, consistent categories, and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively, however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure s. ASU 2023-07 expands reportable segment disclosures by requiring disclosure, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss as well as an amount and description of other segment items. ASU 2023-07 also requires interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets, disclosure of the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure of segment profit or loss in assessing performance and allocating resources. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its disclosures.
Recent Securities and Exchange Commission Final Rules Not Yet Implemented
In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules under SEC Release Nos. 33-11275 and 34-99678, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, which would have required the Company to provide certain climate-related information in annual reports and registration statements beginning with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026. In April 2024, the SEC stayed these rules pending the completion of judicial review of consolidated petitions challenging the validity of the rules. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these rules in light of those legal challenges and monitoring the status of the stay and judicial review.

2. Held for Sale
Assets and liabilities to be disposed of by sale (“disposal groups”) are classified as “held for sale” if their carrying amounts are principally expected to be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The classification occurs when the disposal group is available for immediate sale and the sale is probable. These criteria are generally met when management has committed to a plan to sell the assets within one year. Disposal groups are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and long-lived assets included within the disposal group are not depreciated or amortized. The fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, is assessed during each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale, and any remeasurement to the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell is reported as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group. When the net realizable value of a disposal group increases during a period, a gain can be recognized to the extent that it does not increase the value of the disposal group beyond its original carrying value when the disposal group was reclassified as held for sale. The Company determined that the disposal group discussed below did not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations.
Rexall Health and Well.ca
On September 5, 2024, the Company announced an agreement to sell its Rexall and Well.ca businesses in Canada (“Canadian retail disposal group”). The adjusted purchase price of approximately $148 million, net of working capital and other adjustments, includes a payment of $27 million to be made upon closing, and a note of $121 million accruing interest upon satisfaction of certain conditions, measured at fair value, payable to the Company at the end of six years. As of September 30, 2024, the Canadian retail disposal group, consisting of $631 million of assets and $371 million of liabilities within the Company’s International segment, was classified as “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale,” respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The transaction is anticipated to close in the second half of fiscal 2025, pursuant to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals, as applicable.
During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a charge of $643 million, within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, to remeasure the Canadian retail disposal group to fair value less costs to sell. The remeasurement adjustment includes a $15 million loss related to the accumulated other comprehensive balances associated with the Canadian retail disposal group. The Company’s measurement of the fair value of the Canadian retail disposal group was based on the total consideration expected to be received by the Company as outlined in the transaction agreements. Certain components of the total consideration included fair value measurements that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Restructuring Initiatives
During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company approved enterprise-wide initiatives to modernize and accelerate the technology service operating model, which are intended to improve business continuity, compliance, operating efficiency and advance investments to streamline the organization. These initiatives will also include cost reduction efforts and support other rationalization efforts within Corporate, and the Medical-Surgical Solutions, and U.S. Pharmaceutical segments to help realize long-term sustainable growth. The Company anticipates total charges related to these initiatives of $650 million to $700 million, consisting primarily of employee severance and other employee-related costs as well as facility, exit and other related costs, including long-lived asset impairments. These programs are anticipated to be substantially complete in fiscal 2028.

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded charges of $3 million and $39 million related to this program, respectively, which primarily included real estate and other related asset impairments and facility costs within Corporate.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the liabilities associated with the Company’s restructuring initiatives for the six months ended September 30, 2024:

(In millions) | U.S. Pharmaceutical |  | Prescription Technology Solutions |  | Medical-Surgical Solutions |  | International |  | Corporate |  | Total
Balance, March 31, 2024 (1) | $ | 18 |  |  | $ | 5 |  |  | $ | 1 |  |  | $ | 10 |  |  | $ | 21 |  |  | $ | 55 |
Restructuring, impairment, and related charges, net | 65 |  |  | 5 |  |  | 150 |  |  | — |  |  | 24 |  |  | 244 |

Balance, September 30, 2024 (3) | $ | 14 |  |  | $ | 4 |  |  | $ | 144 |  |  | $ | 2 |  |  | $ | 24 |  |  | $ | 188 |

(1)As of March 31, 2024, the total reserve balance was $55 million, of which $24 million was recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” and $31 million was recorded in “Other non-current liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(2)Other primarily includes cumulative translation adjustments within International, and transfers to certain other liabilities, including Canadian retail disposal group reserves.
(3)As of September 30, 2024, the total reserve balance was $188 million, of which $160 million was recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” and $28 million was recorded in “Other non-current liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
4. Income Taxes
Income tax expense was as follows:

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Six Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in millions) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Income tax expense | $ | 247 |  |  | $ | 213 |  |  | $ | 371 |  |  | $ | 307 |
Reported income tax rate | 46.3 | % |  | 23.3 | % |  | 22.9 | % |  | 15.3 | %

Fluctuations in the Company’s reported income tax rates were primarily due to non-cash charges related to remeasuring the value of its Canadian retail disposal group held for sale to fair value less costs to sell, changes in the mix of earnings between various taxing jurisdictions and discrete items recognized in the quarters.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold certain intellectual property between McKesson wholly-owned legal entities based in foreign tax jurisdictions. The transferor entity of the intellectual property was not subject to income tax on this transaction. The recipient entity of the intellectual property is entitled to amortize the fair value of the assets for tax purposes. As a result, a discrete tax benefit of $44 million was recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded non-cash pre-tax charges of $643 million to remeasure the Canadian retail disposal group to fair value less costs to sell, as described in Financial Note 2, “Held for Sale”. The Company’s reported income tax rates for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 were unfavorably impacted by these charges given that no net tax benefit was recognized for these charges.
During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company also recognized discrete tax benefits of $58 million related to an election to change the tax status of a foreign affiliate, $38 million related to the tax impact of share-based compensation, and $47 million related to the reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to a change in case law, partially offset by a discrete tax expense of $37 million related to interest expense accrued on unrecognized tax benefits.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a net discrete tax expense of $12 million primarily related to interest expense accrued on unrecognized tax benefits. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repatriated certain intellectual property between McKesson wholly-owned legal entities that are based in different tax jurisdictions. The transferor entity of the intellectual property was not subject to income tax on this transaction. The recipient entity of the intellectual property is entitled to amortize the fair value of the assets for tax purposes. As a result of this repatriation, and in accordance with ASU 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, a net discrete tax benefit of $147 million was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $1.4 billion of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $1.3 billion would reduce income tax expense and the effective tax rate if recognized. During the next twelve months, the Company does not anticipate any material reduction in its unrecognized tax benefits based on the information currently available. However, this may change as the Company continues to have ongoing discussions with various taxing authorities throughout the year.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions, and various foreign jurisdictions. The Company is generally subject to audit by taxing authorities in various U.S. states and in foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years 2016 through the current fiscal year.

5. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is similar to that of basic earnings per common share, except that the former reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted stock units. Less than one million of potentially dilutive securities for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share as they were anti-dilutive.
The computations for basic and diluted earnings per common share were as follows:

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Six Months Ended September 30,
(In millions, except per share amounts) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Net income | $ | 287 |  |  | $ | 703 |  |  | $ | 1,247 |  |  | $ | 1,700 |
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests | (46) |  |  | (39) |  |  | (91) |  |  | (78) |
Net income attributable to McKesson Corporation | $ | 241 |  |  | $ | 664 |  |  | $ | 1,156 |  |  | $ | 1,622 |
Weighted-average common shares outstanding: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basic | 128.7 |  |  | 134.1 |  |  | 129.3 |  |  | 134.8 |

Diluted | 129.3 |  |  | 134.8 |  |  | 130.0 |  |  | 135.7 |
Earnings per common share attributable to McKesson Corporation: (2) |  |  |  |  |  |  |

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
Goodwill
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the first fiscal quarter, and more frequently if indicators for potential impairment exist. Goodwill impairment testing is conducted at the reporting unit level, which is generally defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (also known as a component), for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that reporting unit. The annual impairment testing performed in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 did not indicate any impairment of goodwill.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows:

(In millions) | U.S. Pharmaceutical |  | Prescription Technology Solutions |  | Medical-Surgical Solutions |  | International |  | Corporate |  | Total
Balance, March 31, 2024 | $ | 4,123 |  |  | $ | 2,024 |  |  | $ | 2,536 |  |  | $ | 1,449 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 10,132 |

Amortization of these assets ceased upon classification as held for sale in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
All intangible assets, except for those classified as held for sale, were subject to amortization as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. Amortization expense of intangible assets was $60 million and $62 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $123 million and $124 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Estimated amortization expense of the assets listed in the table above is as follows: $102 million, $177 million, $171 million, $166 million, and $164 million for the remainder of fiscal 2025 and each of the succeeding years through fiscal 2029, respectively, and $793 million thereafter.

(UNAUDITED)
On June 15, 2023, the Company completed a public offering of 4.90% Notes due July 15, 2028 in a principal amount of $400 million (the “2028 Notes”) and a public offering of 5.10% Notes due July 15, 2033 in a principal amount of $600 million (the “2033 Notes” and, together with the 2028 Notes, the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on January 15th and July 15th of each year, commencing on January 15, 2024. Proceeds received from the issuance of the Notes, net of discounts and offering expenses, were $397 million for the 2028 Notes and $592 million for the 2033 Notes. The Company utilized a portion of the net proceeds from the offerings of the Notes to fund the purchase price payable with respect to the portion of the Company’s then outstanding 3.80% Notes due March 15, 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) that was validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Concurrent Tender Offer (as defined below) and to effect the satisfaction and discharge of the remaining portion of the 2024 Notes, all of which is described further below. The remaining net proceeds from the offerings of the Notes was available for general corporate purposes.
Each of the 2029 Notes, the 2033 Notes and the 2028 Notes, constitutes a “series,” is an unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of the Company and ranks equally with all of the Company’s existing, and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that may be outstanding from time-to-time. Each series is governed by an indenture and officers’ certificate that are materially similar to those of other series of notes issued by the Company. Upon at least 10 days’ and not more than 60 days’ notice to holders of the applicable series of the notes, the Company may redeem such series of the notes for cash in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at redemption prices that include accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole premium before a specified date, and at par plus accrued and unpaid interest thereafter until maturity, each as specified in the indenture and the officers’ certificate. If there were to occur both (a) a change of control of the Company and (b) a downgrade of the applicable series of the notes below an investment grade rating by each of the Ratings Agencies (as defined in the applicable officers’ certificate) within a specified period, then the Company would be required to make an offer to purchase that series at a price equal to 101% of the then outstanding principal amount of that series, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase. The indenture and the related officers’ certificate for each series, subject to the exceptions and in compliance with the conditions as applicable, specify that the Company may not consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets, incur liens, or enter into sale-leaseback transactions exceeding specific terms, without the lenders’ consent. The indenture also contains customary events of default provisions.
Concurrent Tender Offer of the 2024 Notes
On June 16, 2023, the Company completed a cash tender offer for any and all of its then outstanding 2024 Notes, which was made concurrently with the offerings of the Notes (the “Concurrent Tender Offer”). The Company paid an aggregate consideration of $268 million in the Concurrent Tender Offer to repurchase $271 million principal amount of the 2024 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 98.75% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The repurchase of the 2024 Notes accepted for purchase in the Concurrent Tender Offer was accounted for as a debt extinguishment.
Satisfaction and Discharge of the 2024 Notes
On June 16, 2023, after completing the Concurrent Tender Offer, the Company irrevocably deposited with the trustee under the indenture governing the 2024 Notes (the “2024 Notes Indenture”) U.S. government obligations in an amount sufficient to fund the payment of accrued and unpaid interest of the remaining $647 million principal amount of the 2024 Notes as it became due, and of the principal amount of those 2024 Notes on their March 15, 2024 maturity date. The U.S. government obligations were purchased using a portion of the net proceeds from the offerings of the Notes. After the deposit of such funds with the trustee, the Company’s obligations under the 2024 Notes Indenture with respect to the 2024 Notes were satisfied and discharged and the transaction was accounted for as a debt extinguishment.
The total gain recognized on the debt extinguishment of the 2024 Notes described above for the six months ended September 30, 2023 was $9 million and was included within “Interest expense” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Revolving Credit Facilities
On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2022 Credit Facility”), that provides a syndicated $4.0 billion senior unsecured credit facility with a $3.6 billion aggregate sublimit of availability in Canadian dollars, British pound sterling, and Euro. The 2022 Credit Facility was scheduled to mature in November 2028. On November 7, 2024, the maturity date of the 2022 Credit Facility was extended from November 2028 to November 2029. There were no borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and no amounts outstanding at September 30, 2024 or March 31, 2024. At September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the 2022 Credit Facility.
Commercial Paper
The Company maintains a commercial paper program to support its working capital requirements and for other general corporate purposes. Under the program, the Company can issue up to $4.0 billion in outstanding commercial paper notes. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company borrowed and repaid $6.9 billion under the program. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company borrowed and repaid $2.0 billion under the program. At September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, there were no commercial paper notes outstanding.
8. Hedging Activities
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. At times, the Company limits these risks through the use of derivatives as described below. In accordance with the Company’s policy, derivatives are only used for hedging purposes. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company uses various counterparties for its derivative contracts to minimize the exposure to credit risk but does not anticipate non-performance by these parties.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The Company conducts its business worldwide in U.S. dollars and the functional currencies of its foreign subsidiaries, including Canadian dollars. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results that are reported in U.S. dollars. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to its foreign subsidiaries, including intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company has certain foreign currency exchange rate risk programs that use foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps. These forward contracts and cross-currency swaps are generally used to offset the potential income statement effects from intercompany loans and other obligations denominated in non-functional currencies. These programs reduce but do not entirely eliminate foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has exposure to changes in interest rates, and it utilizes risk programs which use interest rate swaps to hedge the changes in debt fair values caused by fluctuations in benchmark interest rates. The Company also enters into forward contracts to hedge the variability of future benchmark interest rates on any planned bond issuances. These programs reduce but do not entirely eliminate interest rate risk.
Derivative Instruments
At September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the notional amounts of the Company’s outstanding derivatives were as follows:

|  |  |  |  | September 30, 2024 |  | March 31, 2024

(2)There was no ineffectiveness in these hedges for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
(3)The Company agreed with third parties to exchange fixed interest payments in one currency for fixed interest payments in another currency at specified intervals and to exchange principal in one currency for principal in another currency, calculated by reference to agreed-upon notional amounts.
(4)Represents cross-currency fixed-to-fixed interest rate swaps to mitigate the foreign currency exchange fluctuations on its foreign currency-denominated notes.
(5)Represents fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to hedge the changes in fair value caused by fluctuations in the benchmark interest rates.
(6)The Company entered into agreements with financial institutions to hedge the variability of foreign currency exchange fluctuations in future cash payments due to a third party in the United Kingdom for capital expenditures.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company uses cross-currency swaps to hedge portions of the Company’s net investments denominated in Canadian dollars against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar. The changes in the fair value of these derivatives attributable to the changes in spot currency exchange rates and differences between spot and forward interest rates are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and offset foreign currency translation gains and losses recorded on the Company’s net investments denominated in Canadian dollars. To the extent cross-currency swaps designated as hedges are ineffective, changes in carrying value attributable to the change in spot rates are recorded in earnings.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company entered into cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges with a total notional amount of C$2.5 billion to hedge portions of the Company’s net investments denominated in Canadian dollars against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar. These cross-currency swaps mature in April 2025 and June 2026. Further, the Company terminated C$1.5 billion of cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges with original maturity dates in November 2024 and extending through March 2025.
In October 2024, the Company entered into cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges with a total notional amount of C$1.0 billion to hedge portions of the Company’s net investments denominated in Canadian dollars against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar. These cross-currency swaps will mature in October 2026.
Fair Value Hedges
The Company uses cross-currency swaps to hedge the changes in the fair value of its foreign currency notes resulting from changes in benchmark interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company also uses floating interest rate swaps to hedge the changes in the fair value of its U.S. dollar notes resulting from changes in benchmark interest rates. The changes in
the fair value of these derivatives and the offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged notes are recorded in earnings. Gains and losses from the changes in the Company’s fair value hedges recorded in earnings were largely offset by the gains and losses recorded in earnings on the hedged item. For components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, the initial value of the excluded component is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss and then released into earnings over the life of the hedging instrument. The difference between the change in the fair value of the excluded component and the amount amortized into earnings during the period is recorded in other comprehensive loss.
In fiscal 2023, the Company entered into floating interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to convert $1.3 billion of its fixed rate debt to floating rate in order to hedge the changes in fair value caused by fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate. In fiscal 2025, $500 million of the $1.3 billion floating interest rate swaps with original maturity dates in February 2026 and callable at any time after February 2024 were terminated. Refer to F inancial Note 7, “Debt and Financing Activities,” for additional information on the public offering of the 2029 Notes.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses cross-currency swaps to hedge intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies to reduce the income statement effects arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company also uses forward contracts to hedge the variability of future benchmark interest rates on any planned bond issuances and to offset the potential income statement effects from obligations denominated in non-functional currencies. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of these hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in fair values representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings. There were no gains or losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recorded in “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
In fiscal 2023, the Company entered into forward-starting fixed interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with a combined notional amount of $450 million, and in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 with a notional amount of $50 million, to hedge the variability of future benchmark interest rates on a planned bond issuance. On June 15, 2023, the Company completed a public offering of the 2033 Notes, at which point the $500 million cash flow hedges were terminated and the proceeds are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2033 Notes, or 10 years. Refer to F inancial Note 7, “Debt and Financing Activities,” for additional information on the public offering of the 2033 Notes.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are marked-to-market at the end of each accounting period with the change in fair value included in earnings. Changes in the fair values for contracts not designated as hedges are recorded directly into earnings in “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did not enter into or have any outstanding derivative instruments not designated as hedges during the periods presented.

9. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - significant other observable market-based inputs.
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists and requires considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 included investments in money market funds of $549 million and $705 million, respectively, which are reported at fair value. The fair value of money market funds was determined using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets, which are considered to be Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. The carrying value of all other cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to their relatively short-term nature.
Fair values of the Company’s interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts were determined using observable inputs from available market information, including quoted interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and other observable inputs from available market information. These inputs are considered Level 2 under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Refer to Financial Note 8, “Hedging Activities,” for fair values and other information on the Company’s derivatives.
The Company holds investments in equity and debt securities of U.S. growth stage companies that address both current and emerging business challenges in the healthcare industry and which had a carrying value of $175 million and $240 million at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. These investments primarily consist of equity securities without readily determinable fair values and are included in “Other non-current assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying value of publicly-traded investments, which was not material for the periods presented, was determined using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets and are considered to be Level 1 inputs. The net realized and unrealized gains and losses as well as impairment charges related to these investments were a net loss of $15 million and gain of $95 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and an immaterial loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, all of which are included within “Other income, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The net gain recognized for the six months ended September 30, 2024 primarily relates to a recapitalization event of one of the Company’s investments in equity securities which resulted in an increase to the carrying value of this investment. The Company recognized a net gain of $100 million related to this event and sold a portion of its investment for proceeds of $92 million.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company’s assets and liabilities are also subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges or as a result of charges to remeasure assets classified as held for sale to fair value less costs to sell.
At September 30, 2024, the assets and liabilities associated with the Canadian retail disposal group classified as held for sale were measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell, as discussed in Financial Note 2, “Held for Sale.”

FINANCIAL NOTES (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
The aforementioned investments in equity securities of U.S. growth stage companies include the carrying value of investments without readily determinable fair values, which were determined using a measurement alternative and are recorded at cost less impairment, plus or minus any changes in observable price from orderly transactions of the same or similar security of the same issuer. These inputs related to changes in observable price are considered Level 2 under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Inputs related to impairments of investments are generally considered Level 3 fair value measurements due to their inherently unobservable nature based on significant assumptions by management and use of company-specific information.
There were no other material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
At September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of cash, certain cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, drafts and accounts payable, and other current assets and liabilities approximated their estimated fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
The Company determines the fair value of commercial paper using quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments, which are considered Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance.
The Company’s long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost. The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was as follows:

| September 30, 2024 |  | March 31, 2024 |  |
(In millions) | Carrying Value |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Value |  | Fair Value |  |
Long-term debt, including current maturities | $ | 5,744 |  |  | $ | 5,808 |  |  | $ | 5,629 |  |  | $ | 5,488 |  |  |

The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was determined using quoted market prices in a less active market and other observable inputs from available market information, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future.
Goodwill
Fair value assessments of the reporting unit and the reporting unit's net assets, which are performed for goodwill impairment tests, are considered a Level 3 measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information. The Company considered a market approach as well as an income approach using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model to determine the fair value of each reporting unit.
Long-lived Assets
The Company utilizes multiple approaches, including the DCF model and market approaches, for estimating the fair value of intangible assets. The future cash flows used in the analysis are based on internal cash flow projections from its long-range plans and include significant assumptions by management. Accordingly, the fair value assessment of long-lived assets is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.
The Company measures certain long-lived and intangible assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when events occur that indicate an asset group may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset group is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the carrying amount by the excess over its fair value.

10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
In addition to commitments and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to a variety of claims and legal proceedings, including claims from customers and vendors, pending and potential legal actions for damages, governmental investigations, and other matters. The Company and its affiliates are parties to the legal claims and proceedings described below and in Financial Note 17 to the Company’s 2024 Annual Report and Financial Note 9 to the Company’s 10-Q filing for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024, which disclosure is incorporated in this footnote by this reference. The Company is vigorously defending itself against those claims and in those proceedings. Significant developments in those matters are described below. If the Company is unsuccessful in defending, or if it determines to settle, any of these matters, it may be required to pay substantial sums, be subject to injunction and/or be forced to change how it operates its business, which could have a material adverse impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Unless otherwise stated, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the loss or a range of possible loss for the matters described below. Often, the Company is unable to determine that a loss is probable, or to reasonably estimate the amount of loss or a range of loss, for a claim because of the limited information available and the potential effects of future events and decisions by third parties, such as courts and regulators, that will determine the ultimate resolution of the claim. Many of the matters described are at preliminary stages, raise novel theories of liability, or seek an indeterminate amount of damages. It is not uncommon for claims to remain unresolved over many years. The Company reviews loss contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and whether it can make a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss. When the Company determines that a loss from a claim is probable and reasonably estimable, it records a liability for an estimated amount. The Company also provides disclosure when it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed its recorded liability. Amounts included within “Claims and litigation charges, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations consist of estimated loss contingencies related to opioid-related litigation matters, as well as any applicable income items or credit adjustments due to subsequent changes in estimates.
I. Litigation and Claims Involving Distribution of Controlled Substances
The Company and its affiliates have been sued as defendants in many cases asserting claims related to distribution of controlled substances. They have been named as defendants along with other pharmaceutical wholesale distributors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and retail pharmacies. The plaintiffs in these actions have included state attorneys general, county and municipal governments, school districts, tribal nations, hospitals, health and welfare funds, third-party payors, and individuals. These actions have been filed in state and federal courts throughout the U.S., and in Puerto Rico and Canada. These plaintiffs have sought monetary damages and other forms of relief based on a variety of causes of action, including negligence, public nuisance, unjust enrichment, and civil conspiracy, as well as alleging violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), state and federal controlled substances laws, and other statutes. Because of the many uncertainties associated with opioid-related litigation matters, the Company is not able to conclude that a liability is probable or provide a reasonable estimate for the range of ultimate possible loss for opioid-related litigation matters other than those for which an accrual is described below.
State and Local Government Claims
The Company and two other national pharmaceutical distributors (collectively “Distributors”) entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) and consent judgment with 48 states and their participating subdivisions, as well as the District of Columbia and all eligible territories (the “Settling Governmental Entities”). Approximately 2,300 cases have been dismissed. The Distributors did not admit liability or wrongdoing and do not waive any defenses pursuant to the Settlement. Under the Settlement, the Company has paid the Settling Governmental Entities approximately $2.0 billion as of September 30, 2024, and additionally will pay the Settling Governmental Entities up to approximately $5.9 billion through 2038. A minimum of 85% of the Settlement payments must be used by state and local governmental entities to remediate the opioid epidemic, while the remainder relates to plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs and will be paid out through 2030. Pursuant to the Settlement, the Distributors are in the process of establishing a clearinghouse to consolidate their controlled-substance distribution data, which will be available to the settling U.S. states to use as part of their anti-diversion efforts.

Alabama and West Virginia did not participate in the Settlement. Under a separate settlement agreement with Alabama and its subdivisions, the Company has paid approximately $75 million as of September 30, 2024, and additionally will pay approximately $99 million through 2031. The Company previously settled with the state of West Virginia in 2018, so West Virginia and its subdivisions were not eligible to participate in the Settlement. Under a separate settlement agreement, the Company has paid certain West Virginia subdivisions approximately $53 million as of September 30, 2024, and additionally will pay approximately $99 million through 2033. That agreement does not include school districts or the claims of Cabell County and the City of Huntington. After a trial, the claims of Cabell County and the City of Huntington, were decided in the Company’s favor on July 4, 2022. Those subdivisions appealed that decision.
Some other state and local governmental subdivisions did not participate in the Settlement, including certain municipal governments, government hospitals, school districts, and government-affiliated third-party payors. The Company contends that those subdivisions’ claims are foreclosed by the Settlement or other dispositive defenses, but the subdivisions contend that their claims are not foreclosed.
The City of Baltimore, Maryland, is one such subdivision. A trial of its claims against the Company and another national pharmaceutical distributor began on September 16, 2024 in the Circuit Court of Maryland for Baltimore City, Mayor and City Council of Baltimore v. Purdue Pharma LP, No. 24-C-18-000515. Baltimore claims that the defendants’ distribution of controlled substances to certain pharmacies in the City of Baltimore and Baltimore County caused a public nuisance. Baltimore is seeking monetary damages and other relief.
The district attorneys of the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Allegheny County, Pennsylvania did not participate in the settlement and sought to bring separate claims against the Company, notwithstanding the settlement with the state of Pennsylvania and its attorney general. On January 26, 2024, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania ruled that the Pennsylvania attorney general had settled and fully released the claims brought by those district attorneys under Pennsylvania’s Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. The district attorneys have appealed that decision to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. An accrual for the remaining governmental subdivision claims is reflected in the total estimated liability for opioid-related claims in a manner consistent with how Settlement amounts were allocated to Settling Governmental Entities.
Native American Tribe Claims
The Company also entered into settlement agreements for opioid-related claims of federally recognized Native American tribes. Under those agreements, the Company has paid the settling Native American tribes approximately $112 million as of September 30, 2024, and additionally will pay approximately $84 million through 2027. A minimum of 85% of the total settlement payments must be used by the settling Native American tribes to remediate the opioid epidemic.
Non-Governmental Plaintiff Claims
The Company is also a defendant in approximately 400 opioid-related cases brought in the U.S. by private plaintiffs, such as hospitals, health and welfare funds, third-party payors, and individuals. These claims, and those of private entities generally, are not included in the settlement agreements described above.
One such case was brought by a group of individual plaintiffs in Glynn County, Georgia Superior Court seeking to recover for damages allegedly arising from their family members’ abuse of prescription opioids. Poppell v. Cardinal Health, Inc., CE19-00472. On March 1, 2023, the jury in that case returned a verdict in favor of the defendants, including the Company. Plaintiffs appealed the jury verdict. On September 4, 2024, the Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the judgment in favor of the Company.
The Company and two other national distributors have reached proposed settlements with representatives of nationwide groups of acute care hospitals and certain third-party payors. The claims of remaining U.S. non-governmental plaintiffs are not included in the charges recorded by the Company.

With respect to the acute care hospitals, for the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a charge of $149 million within “Claims and litigation charges, net” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations to reflect its portion of a proposed settlement with a nationwide class of acute care hospitals, of which $75 million was recorded within Corporate expenses, net, and $74 million was recorded within U.S. Pharmaceutical. The corresponding liability was included within “Other accrued liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The proposed settlement is subject to, among other things, court approval and sufficient participation by hospitals. On October 30, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico granted preliminary approval to the proposed settlement. The trial for one of those acute care hospital cases, Fort Payne Hospital Corporation et al. v. McKesson Corp., CV-2021-900016, has been stayed as to the Company.
With respect to the third-party payors, for the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a charge of $114 million within “Claims and litigation charges, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations to reflect the Company’s portion of the proposed settlement with representatives of a nationwide group of certain third-party payors, of which $57 million was recorded within Corporate expenses, net and U.S. Pharmaceutical, respectively. The corresponding liability was included within “Other accrued liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The proposed settlement is subject to, among other things, court approval and sufficient participation by third-party payors. On September 3, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio granted preliminary approval to the proposed settlement.
The Company’s estimated accrued liability for the opioid-related claims of U.S. governmental entities, including Native American tribes, and certain non-governmental plaintiffs, including a proposed settlement with a nationwide class of acute care hospitals and certain third-party payors, was as follows:

(In millions) | September 30, 2024 |  | March 31, 2024
Current litigation liabilities (1) | $ | 775 |  |  | $ | 665 |
Long-term litigation liabilities | 5,617 |  |  | 6,113 |
Total litigation liabilities | $ | 6,392 |  |  | $ | 6,778 |

(1)These amounts, recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are the amounts estimated to be paid within the next twelve months following each respective period end date.
During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company made payments totaling $500 million associated with the Settlement and the separate settlement agreements.
Canadian Plaintiff Claims
The Company and its Canadian affiliate are also defendants in four opioid-related cases pending in Canada. These cases involve the claims of the provincial governments, municipal governments, a group representing indigenous people, as well as one case brought by an individual.
Defense of Opioids Claims
The Company believes it has valid legal defenses in all opioid-related matters, including claims not covered by settlement agreements, and it intends to mount a vigorous defense in such matters. Other than the accruals described above, the Company has not concluded a loss is probable in any of the matters; nor is any possible loss or range of loss reasonably estimable. An adverse judgment or negotiated resolution in any of these matters could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or liquidity, or results of operations.

II. Other Litigation and Claims
On May 17, 2013, the Company was served with a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California by True Health Chiropractic Inc., alleging that McKesson sent unsolicited marketing faxes in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (“TCPA”), as amended by the Junk Fax Protection Act of 2005 (“JFPA”), True Health Chiropractic Inc., et al. v. McKesson Corporation, et al., No. CV-13-02219 (HG). The plaintiffs seek statutory damages from $500 to $1,500 per violation plus injunctive relief. True Health Chiropractic later amended its complaint, adding McLaughlin Chiropractic Associates as an additional named plaintiff and McKesson Technologies Inc. as a defendant. Both plaintiffs alleged that defendants violated the TCPA by sending faxes that did not contain notices regarding how to opt out of receiving the faxes. On August 13, 2019, the court granted plaintiffs’ renewed motion for class certification. After class notice and the opt-out period, 9,490 fax numbers remain in the class, representing 48,769 faxes received. On October 8, 2021, the court de-certified the class citing the plaintiffs lacked class-wide proof identifying the manner of receipt, thus leaving two named plaintiffs remaining in the case. On April 27, 2022, the Court found that the named plaintiffs had failed to meet their burden to show defendants willfully or knowingly violated the TCPA and therefore were not entitled to treble damages. The Court found McKesson liable for statutory damages in the amount of $6,500. The Company appealed the finding of liability and the plaintiffs cross-appealed the denial of class certification and the ruling denying treble damages. On October 25, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the decision of the district court. On October 4, 2024, the Supreme Court of the United States granted plaintiffs’ petition for certiorari on the issue of whether the Hobbs Act required the district court to accept the FCC’s legal interpretation of the TCPA in determining whether to certify the class.
On June 17, 2014, U.S. Oncology Specialty, LP (“USOS”) was served with a fifth amended qui tam complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York by a relator alleging that USOS, among others, solicited and received illegal “kickbacks” from Amgen in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute, the federal False Claims Act, and various state false claims statutes, and seeking damages, treble damages, civil penalties, attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, all in unspecified amounts, United States ex rel. Hanks v. Amgen, Inc., et al., CV-08-03096 (SJ). Previously, the United States declined to intervene in the case as to all allegations and defendants except for Amgen. On September 17, 2018, the court granted USOS’s motion to dismiss. Following the relator’s appeal, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the district court’s order and remanded the suit to the district court, directing it to consider the question of whether the suit should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. The district court granted the relator leave to amend the complaint for a seventh time. The relator filed the seventh amended complaint on November 30, 2020. On September 18, 2024, the district court dismissed the False Claims Act claim for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
In July 2020, the Company was served with a first amended qui tam complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by a relator on behalf of the United States, 27 states and the District of Columbia against McKesson Corporation, McKesson Specialty Distribution LLC, and McKesson Specialty Care Distribution Corporation, alleging that defendants violated the Anti-Kickback Statute, federal False Claims Act, and various state false claims statutes by providing certain business analytical tools to oncology practice customers, United States ex rel. Hart v. McKesson Corporation, et al., 15-cv-00903-RA. The United States and the named states have declined to intervene in the case. The complaint seeks relief including damages, treble damages, civil penalties, attorney fees, and costs of suit, all in unspecified amounts. The relator filed the second amended complaint on June 7, 2022, which was dismissed by the district court on March 28, 2023. On March 12, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal of claims under the Anti-Kickback Statute and federal False Claims Act, vacated the dismissal of the remaining claims, and remanded for further proceedings. On June 7, 2024, the relator filed a petition seeking review by the U.S. Supreme Court, which was denied on October 7, 2024.
On October 17, 2024, the Company was served with a qui tam complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York by a relator alleging that, from 2010 through at least 2012, the Company submitted false certifications to the government in support of Horizon Clinicals, an Electronic Health Record product. United States ex rel. James Thompson v. McKesson Corporation, No. 16-CV-2891. The United States has declined to intervene in the case. The complaint seeks relief under the False Claims Act including damages, treble damages, civil penalties, attorney fees, and costs of suit.

III. Government Subpoenas and Investigations
From time to time, the Company receives subpoenas or requests for information from various government agencies. The Company generally responds to such subpoenas and requests in a cooperative, thorough, and timely manner. These responses sometimes require time and effort and can result in considerable costs being incurred by the Company. Such subpoenas and requests can lead to the assertion of claims or the commencement of civil or criminal legal proceedings against the Company and other members of the health care industry, as well as to settlements of claims against the Company. The Company responds to these requests in the ordinary course of business.
In July 2024, the United States Department of Justice served a Civil Investigative Demand issued pursuant to the False Claims Act on the Company seeking documents and information related to administration of copay coupon programs associated with certain Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Inc. drugs.
V. Antitrust Settlement
During the second fiscal quarter of 2025, the Company received proceeds of $63 million related to its share of two antitrust settlements. The lawsuits were filed against a brand manufacturer alleging that the manufacturer, by itself or in concert with others, took improper actions to delay or prevent generic drugs from entering the market. The Company was not a named party to either litigation but was a member of the representative classes of those who purchased directly from the pharmaceutical manufacturer. The Company recognized a gain in that amount within "Cost of sales" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 related to the settlements.
11. Stockholders' Deficit
Each share of the Company’s outstanding common stock is permitted one vote on proposals presented to stockholders and is entitled to participate equally in any dividends declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
In July 2024, the Company’s quarterly dividend was raised from $0.62 to $0.71 per share of common stock for dividends declared on or after such date by the Board. The Company anticipates that it will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment and amount of future dividends remain within the discretion of the Board and will depend upon the Company's future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, legal requirements, and other factors.

Share Repurchase Plans
The Board has authorized the repurchase of common stock. The Company 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, tax implications, restrictions under the Company’s debt obligations, other uses for capital, impacts on the value of remaining shares, cash generated from operations, and market and economic conditions.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 2.9 million shares of common stock for $1.5 billion through open market transactions at an average price per share of $533.46, of which $22 million was accrued within “Other accrued liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for share repurchases that were executed in late September 2024 and settled in early October 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 1.0 million shares of common stock for $528 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $548.20.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 2.0 million shares of common stock for $840 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $422.39, of which $23 million was accrued within “Other accrued liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for share repurchases that were executed in late September 2023 and settled in early October 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 1.8 million shares of common stock for $673 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $379.14.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company’s repurchase of common stock, adjusted for allowable items, are subject to a 1% excise tax as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Excise taxes incurred on share repurchases of an entity’s own common stock are direct and incremental costs to purchase treasury stock, and accordingly are included in the total cost basis of the common stock acquired and reflected as a reduction of stockholders’ equity within “Treasury shares” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Deficit. Excise taxes do not reduce the Company’s remaining authorization for the repurchase of common stock. Excise taxes of $15 million and $8 million were incurred and accrued for shares repurchased during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Excise taxes of $16 million and $12 million were incurred and accrued for shares repurchased during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the amounts accrued for excise taxes were $41 million and $25 million, respectively, within “Other accrued liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In July 2024, the Board approved an increase of $4.0 billion in the authorization for the repurchase of common stock. The total remaining authorization outstanding for repurchases of common stock at September 30, 2024 was $8.6 billion.

12. Segments of Business
The Company reports its financial results in four reportable segments: U.S. Pharmaceutical, RxTS, Medical-Surgical Solutions, and International. The organizational structure also includes Corporate, which consists of income and expenses associated with administrative functions and projects, and the results of certain investments and operations. The factors for determining the reportable segments include the manner in which management evaluates the performance of the Company combined with the nature of the individual business activities. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments on a number of measures, including revenues and operating profit (loss) before interest expense and income taxes. Assets by operating segment are not reviewed by management for the purpose of assessing performance or allocating resources.
The U.S. Pharmaceutical segment distributes branded, generic, specialty, biosimilar and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs, and other healthcare-related products in the U.S. This segment also provides practice management, technology, clinical support, and business solutions to community-based oncology and other specialty practices. 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 RxTS segment helps solve medication access, affordability, and adherence challenges for patients by working across healthcare to connect patients, pharmacies, providers, pharmacy benefit managers, health plans, and biopharma companies. RxTS serves our biopharma and life sciences partners, delivering innovative solutions that help people get the medicine they need to live healthier lives. RxTS also offers prescription price transparency, benefit insight, dispensing support services, third-party logistics, and wholesale distribution support across various therapeutic categories and temperature ranges to biopharma customers throughout the product lifecycle.
The Medical-Surgical Solutions segment provides medical-surgical supply distribution, logistics, and other services to healthcare providers, including physician offices, surgery centers, nursing homes, hospital reference labs, 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 in the U.S.
The International segment includes the Company’s operations in Canada and Norway, bringing together non-U.S.-based drug distribution services, specialty pharmacy, retail, and infusion care services. The Company’s Canadian operations deliver medicines, supplies, and information technology solutions throughout Canada and include Rexall Health retail pharmacies. The Company’s Norwegian operations provide distribution and services to wholesale and retail customers in Norway where it owns, partners, or franchises with retail pharmacies. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Canadian retail disposal group. Refer to Financial Note 2, “Held for Sale,” for more information.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
The following summarizes our four reportable segments. Refer to Financial Note 1 2, “Segments of Business,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further information regarding our reportable segments.
•U.S. Pharmaceutical is a reportable segment that distributes branded, generic, specialty, biosimilar, and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs, and other healthcare-related products in the United States (“U.S.”). This segment also provides practice management, technology, clinical support, and business solutions to community-based oncology and other specialty practices. In addition, the segment sells financial, operational, and clinical solutions to pharmacies (retail, hospital, alternate sites) and provides consulting, outsourcing, technological, and other services.
•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 also offers prescription price transparency, benefit insight, and dispensing support services, as well as 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, including physician offices, surgery centers, nursing homes, hospital reference labs, 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.
•International is a reportable segment that includes our operations in Canada and Norway, bringing together non-U.S.-based drug distribution services, specialty pharmacy, retail, and infusion care services. Our Canadian operations deliver medicines, supplies, and information technology solutions throughout Canada and include Rexall Health retail pharmacies. Our Norwegian operations provide distribution and services to wholesale and retail customers in Norway where we own, partner, or franchise with retail pharmacies. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell our Rexall and Well.ca businesses in Canada (“Canadian retail disposal group”). These divestitures are further described in the “Canadian Divestiture Activities” section below.
Canadian Divestiture Activities
On September 5, 2024, we announced an agreement to sell our Canadian retail disposal group. The adjusted purchase price is approximately $148 million. We recorded a charge of $643 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 in total operating expenses to remeasure the Canadian retail disposal group to fair value less costs to sell. The remeasurement adjustment includes a $15 million loss related to the accumulated other comprehensive loss balances associated with the disposal group. The transaction is anticipated to close in the second half of fiscal 2025, pursuant to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals, as applicable.
As of September 30, 2024, we had $631 million of assets and $371 million of liabilities classified as “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale,” respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet related to the Canadian retail disposal group.

Trends and Uncertainties:
Opioid-Related Litigation and Claims
As described in the discussion of opioid-related matters in Financial Note 10, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report, we are a defendant in many legal proceedings asserting claims related to the distribution of controlled substances (opioids) in federal and state courts throughout the U.S., and in Puerto Rico and Canada. The plaintiffs in these actions have included state attorneys general, county and municipal governments, tribal nations, hospitals, health and welfare funds, third-party payors, and individuals. We believe we have valid legal defenses in all opioid-related matters, including claims not covered by settlement agreements, and we intend to mount a vigorous defense. Other than as to the settlements described in Financial Note 1 0, we have not concluded a loss is probable in any of the matters; nor is any possible loss or range of loss reasonably estimable. An adverse judgment or negotiated resolution in any of these matters could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, cash flows or liquidity, or results of operations.
The Company and two other national distributors have reached proposed settlements with representatives of nationwide groups of acute care hospitals and certain third-party payors.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we made payments totaling $500 million associated with various settlement agreements for opioid-related claims of states, subdivisions, and Native American tribes. Our total estimated liability for opioid-related claims was $6.4 billion as of September 30, 2024, of which $775 million was included within “Other accrued liabilities” for the amount estimated to be paid within the next twelve months, and the remaining liability was included in “Long-term litigation liabilities” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Rite Aid Bankruptcy Proceedings
In October 2023, our customer Rite Aid Corporation (including certain of its subsidiaries, “Rite Aid”) filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Consequently, we recorded a provision for bad debts totaling $725 million during the year ended March 31, 2024, of which $210 million was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 representing the uncollected trade accounts receivable balance from Rite Aid as of September 30, 2023.
Rite Aid's restructuring plan was approved by the court and the company successfully emerged from bankruptcy in August 2024. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, we reassessed our initial estimates made in conjunction with the previously reserved prepetition balances, including cash received during the period, resulting in a reversal of $203 million recorded within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and included in our U.S. Pharmaceutical segment. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, we released $237 million of allowance for doubtful accounts against trade accounts receivables, representing the write-off of uncollectible receivables related to the Rite Aid provision in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
We believe the reserves maintained and expenses and credits recorded in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 for Rite Aid trade accounts receivable are appropriate and consistent with our accounting policy and assessment of the information currently available. We evaluate our reserves periodically and as circumstances warrant which may result in changes to our reserves. For additional disclosure of our policy regarding allowances for credit losses, refer to the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section within Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II of our 2024 Annual Report.

Revenues
Revenues increased for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same prior year periods, primarily due to market growth in our U.S. Pharmaceutical segment, including higher volumes largely from retail national account customers and growth in specialty pharmaceuticals. Market growth includes growing drug utilization and newly launched products, partially offset by price deflation associated with branded to generic drug conversion. This revenue growth was also favorably impacted by higher pharmaceutical distribution volumes in our International segment.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same prior year periods primarily in our U.S. Pharmaceutical segment driven by growth of specialty pharmaceuticals and in our International segment driven by higher volumes.
We recognized gains of $63 million and $79 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $153 million and $197 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to our share of antitrust legal settlements. We recognized these amounts within "Cost of sales" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within our U.S. Pharmaceutical segment.

McKESSON CORPORATION
FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
Gross profit for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 was impacted by restructuring charges of $63 million related to a broad set of initiatives to drive operational efficiencies and increase cost optimization efforts as discussed in Financial Note 3, “Restructuring, Impairment, and Related Charges, Net,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. We recorded this amount related to impairment of inventories within "Cost of sales" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within our U.S. Pharmaceutical segment.
A last-in, first out (“LIFO”) credit of $2 million and a charge of $55 million were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and a credit of $4 million and a charge of $87 million were recognized during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily due to lower expected brand inflation in the current fiscal year.
Our U.S. Pharmaceutical business uses the LIFO method of accounting for the majority of its inventories, which results in cost of sales that more closely reflects replacement cost than under other accounting methods. The business’ practice is to pass on to customers published price changes from suppliers. Manufacturers generally provide us with price protection, which limits price related inventory losses. A LIFO charge is recognized when the net effect of price increases on pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical products held in inventory exceeds the impact of price declines, including the effect of branded pharmaceutical products that have lost market exclusivity. A LIFO credit is recognized when the net effect of price declines exceeds the impact of price increases on pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical products held in inventory. Our quarterly LIFO adjustment is based on our estimates of the annual LIFO adjustment which is impacted by expected changes in year-end inventory quantities, product mix, and manufacturer pricing practices, which may be influenced by market and other external factors. Changes to any of the above factors could have a material impact to our annual LIFO adjustment. The actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is calculated at the end of the fiscal year.
Total Operating Expenses
A summary of the components of our total operating expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:
•Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses (“SDG&A”): SDG&A consists of personnel costs, transportation costs, depreciation and amortization, lease costs, professional fee expenses, administrative expenses, provision for bad debts and related recoveries, remeasurement charges to fair value less costs to sell, and other general charges.
•Claims and litigation charges, net: These charges include adjustments for estimated probable settlements related to our controlled substance monitoring and reporting, and opioid-related claims, as well as any applicable income items or credit adjustments due to subsequent changes in estimates. Legal fees to defend claims, which are expensed as incurred, are included within SDG&A.
•Restructuring, impairment, and related charges, net: Charges recorded under this component include those incurred for programs in which we change our operations, the scope of a business undertaken by our business units, or the manner in which that business is conducted, as well as long-lived asset impairments.

McKESSON CORPORATION
FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, total operating expenses and total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased compared to the same prior year periods. Total operating expenses were impacted by the following significant items:
•SDG&A for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 includes charges of $643 million to remeasure our Canadian retail disposal group to fair value less costs to sell. The remeasurement adjustment includes a $15 million loss related to the accumulated other comprehensive loss balances associated with this disposal. Of the total charges recorded during the period, $593 million are included within our International segment and $50 million are included within Corporate expenses, net;
•SDG&A for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 includes a credit of $203 million, and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 includes a provision for bad debts of $210 million, related to the bankruptcy of Rite Aid in October 2023. Refer to the Rite Aid Bankruptcy Proceedings section of “Trends and Uncertainties for additional information;”
•SDG&A increased compared to the same prior year periods due to increased operating expenses to support higher volumes and gains of $48 million and $76 million recognized in the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, resulting from a fair value adjustment of our contingent consideration liability related to the Rx Savings Solutions, LLC acquisition;
•Claims and litigation charges, net primarily consists of a charge of $108 million related to our estimated liability for opioid-related claims as previously discussed in the Opioid-Related Litigation and Claims section of “Trends and Uncertainties;” and
•Restructuring, impairment, and related charges, net were $171 million and $28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $181 million and $80 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as discussed below under “Restructuring Initiatives.”
Goodwill Impairment
We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the first fiscal quarter, and at an interim date if indicators of potential impairment exist. The annual impairment testing performed in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 did not indicate any impairment of goodwill, and no goodwill impairment charges were recorded during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. However, other risks, expenses, and future developments, such as government actions, increased regulatory uncertainty, and material changes in key market assumptions limit our ability to estimate projected cash flows, which could adversely affect the fair value of various reporting units in future periods.
Restructuring Initiatives
We recorded restructuring, impairment, and related charges of $171 million and $28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $181 million and $80 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These charges were included in “Restructuring, impairment, and related charges, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we approved enterprise-wide initiatives to modernize and accelerate our technology service operating model, which are intended to improve business continuity, compliance, operating efficiency and advance investments to streamline the organization. These initiatives will also include cost reduction efforts and support other rationalization efforts within Corporate, and the Medical-Surgical Solutions, and U.S. Pharmaceutical segments to help realize long-term sustainable growth. We anticipate total charges related to these initiatives of $650 million to $700 million, consisting primarily of employee severance and other employee-related costs as well as facility, exit and other related costs, including long-lived asset impairments. These programs are anticipated to be substantially complete in fiscal 2028. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded charges of $227 million related to the initiatives, which primarily includes severance and other employee-related costs as well as facility exit and other related costs, including long-lived asset impairments and a $63 million related to inventory impairments recorded within “Cost of sales” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we approved a broad set of initiatives to drive operational efficiencies and increase cost optimization efforts, with the intent of simplifying our infrastructure and realizing long-term sustainable growth. These initiatives included headcount reductions, primarily consisting of employee severance and other employee-related costs within our RxTS segment, and the exit or downsizing of certain facilities. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded charges of $3 million and $39 million related to this program, respectively, which primarily included real estate and other related asset impairments and facility costs within Corporate. This restructuring program was substantially complete in fiscal 2024.
Refer to Financial Note 3, “Restructuring, Impairment, and Related Charges, Net,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further information on our restructuring initiatives.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net increased for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same prior year periods primarily due to a favorable impact from interest income. Other income, net for the six months ended September 30, 2024 includes a net gain of $95 million related to our investments in equity securities of certain U.S. growth stage companies in the healthcare industry, partially offset by a loss of $43 million related to one of our equity method investments.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same prior year periods primarily due to increased average balances of the Company’s loan portfolio throughout the first half of the year. Interest expense for the six months ended September 30, 2024 was unfavorably impacted by a prior year gain on debt extinguishment of $9 million. Interest expense may fluctuate based on timing, amounts, and interest rates of term debt repaid and new term debt issued, as well as amounts incurred associated with financing fees. Refer to Financial Note 7, “Debt and Financing Activities,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information.

Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $247 million and $213 million, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $371 million and $307 million, respectively. Our reported income tax rates were 46.3% and 23.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 22.9% and 15.3% for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Fluctuations in our reported income tax rates are primarily due to non-cash charges related to the remeasurement of our Canadian retail disposal group held for sale to fair value less costs to sell, changes in our business mix of earnings between various taxing jurisdictions and discrete tax items recognized in the quarters.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we sold certain intellectual property between McKesson wholly-owned legal entities based in foreign tax jurisdictions. The transferor entity of the intellectual property was not subject to income tax on this transaction whereas the recipient entity of the intellectual property is entitled to amortize the fair value of the assets for tax purposes. As a result, a discrete tax benefit of $44 million was recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded non-cash pre-tax charges of $643 million primarily to remeasure our Canadian retail disposal group to fair value less costs to sell, as described in Financial Note 2, “Held for Sale.” Our reported income tax rates for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 were unfavorably impacted by these charges as no net tax benefit was recognized for these charges.
For the six months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized discrete tax benefits of $58 million related to an election to change the tax status of a foreign affiliate, $38 million related to the tax impact of share-based compensation, and $47 million related to the reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to a change in case law, partially offset by a discrete tax expense of $37 million related to interest expense accrued on unrecognized tax benefits.
We recognized a net discrete tax benefit of $147 million in the six months ended September 30, 2023 primarily related to the repatriation of certain intellectual property between McKesson wholly-owned legal entities that are based in different tax jurisdictions. Refer to Financial Note 4, “Income Taxes,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 primarily represents the proportionate results of third-party equity interests in ClarusONE Sourcing Services LLP, Vantage Oncology Holdings, LLC, and SCRI Oncology, LLC. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was primarily driven by higher volumes in our ClarusONE joint venture.
Net Income Attributable to McKesson Corporation
Net income attributable to McKesson Corporation was $241 million and $664 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.2 billion and $1.6 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Diluted earnings per common share attributable to McKesson Corporation was $1.87 and $4.92 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $8.89 and $11.95 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our diluted earnings per share includes the cumulative effects of share repurchases during each period.
Weighted-Average Diluted Common Shares Outstanding
Diluted earnings per common share was calculated based on a weighted-average number of shares outstanding of 129.3 million and 134.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 130.0 million and 135.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 decreased from the same prior year periods primarily due to the cumulative effect of share repurchases, as discussed in the “S hare Repurchases P lans” section of this Financial Review.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We expect our available cash generated from operations and our short-term investment portfolio, together with our existing sources of liquidity from our credit facilities, commercial paper program, and other borrowings will be sufficient to fund our short-term and long-term capital expenditures, working capital, and other cash requirements. We remain adequately capitalized, including access to liquidity from our $4.0 billion revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all debt covenants, and believe we have the ability to continue to meet our debt covenants in the future.
The following table summarizes the net change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash for the periods shown:

Operating Activities
Operating activities provided cash of $720 million and used cash of $87 million during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash flows from operations can be significantly impacted by factors such as the timing of receipts from customers, inventory receipts, and payments to vendors. Additionally, working capital is primarily a function of sales and purchase volumes, inventory requirements, and vendor payment terms.
Operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2024 were affected by net income of $1.2 billion, adjusted for non-cash items, including charges of $643 million to remeasure the assets and liabilities of our Canadian retail disposal group to fair value less cost to sell, as well as increases in accounts payable of $6.2 billion, receivables of $3.5 billion, and inventories of $3.3 billion, all primarily driven by higher revenues and timing. Our litigation liabilities decreased by $386 million due to payments made in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 associated with various settlement agreements for opioid-related claims of states, subdivisions, and Native American tribes, partially offset by an accrual in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 related to a proposed settlement with third party payors as discussed in Financial Note 10, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2023 were affected by net income of $1.7 billion, adjusted for non-cash items, as well as increases in drafts and accounts payable of $4.3 billion, receivables of $3.2 billion, and inventories of $2.3 billion, all primarily driven by higher revenues and timing. Our litigation liabilities also decreased by $529 million due to payments made during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 associated with various settlement agreements for opioid-related claims of states, subdivisions, and Native American tribes.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $373 million and $315 million during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Financing Activities
Financing activities used cash of $2.4 billion and $1.8 billion during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. On September 10, 2024, we completed a public offering of 4.25% Notes due September 15, 2029 in a principal amount of $500 million. Proceeds received from this note issuance, net of discounts and offering expenses, were approximately $496 million. We utilized the net proceeds from this note issuance along with cash on hand to redeem our $500 million outstanding principal amount of 5.25% Notes due February 15, 2026 prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest through the settlement date.
On June 15, 2023, we completed a public offering of 4.90% Notes due July 15, 2028 in a principal amount of $400 million and 5.10% Notes due July 15, 2033 in a principal amount of $600 million, for proceeds received, net of discounts and offering expenses, of $397 million and $592 million, respectively. A portion of the net proceeds from these notes was utilized to fund the repurchase of our then outstanding 3.80% Notes due March 15, 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) discussed below, while the remaining net proceeds was available for general corporate purposes.
On June 16, 2023, we completed a cash tender offer for any and all of our then outstanding 2024 Notes with a principal amount of $918 million, which was made concurrently with the June 15, 2023 notes offering described above. Using a portion of the proceeds from the June 15, 2023 notes offering, we paid an aggregate consideration of $268 million to repurchase $271 million principal amount of the 2024 Notes. Following the consummation of this tender offer, on June 16, 2023, we irrevocably deposited U.S. government obligations with the trustee under the indenture governing the 2024 Notes sufficient to fund the payment of accrued and unpaid interest of the remaining $647 million principal amount of the 2024 Notes as it became due, and of the principal amount of those 2024 Notes on their March 15, 2024 maturity date.
Financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 includes $2.0 billion and $1.5 billion of cash paid for share repurchases, as well as $162 million and $149 million of cash paid for dividends, respectively. Financing activities also includes cash receipts and cash repayments each of $6.9 billion and $2.0 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to short-term borrowings of commercial paper.
Cash used for other financing activities generally includes the cash value of shares surrendered for tax withholding and payments to noncontrolling interests.
Share Repurchase Plans
The Board 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“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.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 2.9 million shares of common stock for $1.5 billion through open market transactions at an average price per share of $533.46, of which $22 million was accrued within “Other accrued liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for share repurchases that were executed in late September 2024 and settled in early October 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 1.0 million shares of common stock for $528 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $548.20.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 2.0 million shares of common stock for $840 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $422.39, of which $23 million was accrued within “Other accrued liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for share repurchases that were executed in late September 2023 and settled in early October 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 1.8 million shares of common stock for $673 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $379.14.

Effective January 1, 2023, our repurchase of common stock, adjusted for allowable items, are subject to a 1% excise tax as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Excise taxes incurred on share repurchases of an entity’s own common stock are direct and incremental costs to purchase treasury stock, and accordingly are included in the total cost basis of the common stock acquired and reflected as a reduction of stockholders’ equity within “Treasury shares” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Deficit. Excise taxes do not reduce our remaining authorization for the repurchase of common stock. Excise taxes of $15 million and $8 million were incurred and accrued for shares repurchased during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Excise taxes of $16 million and $12 million were incurred and accrued for shares repurchased during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the amounts accrued for excise taxes were $41 million and $25 million, respectively, within “Other accrued liabilities” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In July 2024, the Board approved an increase of $4.0 billion in the authorization for the repurchase of common stock. The total remaining authorization outstanding for repurchases of common stock at September 30, 2024 was $8.6 billion.
Selected Measures of Liquidity and Capital Resources

(Dollars in millions) | September 30, 2024 |  | March 31, 2024 |
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $ | 2,511 |  |  | $ | 4,585 |  |
Working capital | (5,430) |  |  | (4,387) |  |
Debt to capital ratio (1) | 158.8 |  | % | 124.0 |  | %

(1)This ratio describes the relationship and changes within our capital resources, and is computed as the sum of total debt divided by the sum of total debt and McKesson stockholders’ deficit, which excludes noncontrolling interests and accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Cash equivalents, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, are carried at fair value. Cash equivalents are primarily invested in AAA-rated U.S. government money market funds, short-term deposits with financial institutions, and short-term commercial papers issued by non-financial institutions. Deposits with financial institutions are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars and the functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries, including Canadian dollars. Deposits could exceed the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the U.S. and similar deposit insurance programs in other jurisdictions. We mitigate the risk of our short-term investment portfolio by depositing funds with reputable financial institutions and monitoring risk profiles and investment strategies of money market funds.
Our cash and cash equivalents balance as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 included approximately $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, of cash held by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. Our primary intent is to utilize this cash for foreign operations for an indefinite period of time. Although the majority of cash held outside the U.S. is available for repatriation, doing so could subject us to foreign withholding taxes and state income taxes. We may remit foreign earnings to the U.S. to the extent it is tax efficient to do so. We do not anticipate the tax impact from remitting these earnings to be material. Following enactment of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the repatriation of cash to the U.S. is generally no longer taxable for federal income tax purposes.
Working capital primarily includes cash and cash equivalents, receivables, inventories, and prepaid expenses, net of drafts and accounts payable, short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term debt, current portion of operating lease liabilities, and other accrued liabilities. Working capital also includes net assets and liabilities classified as held for sale which have increased in fiscal 2025 as a result of the expected divestiture of our Canadian retail disposal group. Our businesses require substantial investments in working capital that are susceptible to large variations during the year as a result of inventory purchase patterns and seasonal demands. Inventory purchase activity is a function of sales activity and other requirements.
Consolidated working capital decreased at September 30, 2024 compared to March 31, 2024 primarily due to an increase in drafts and accounts payable from increased purchasing driven by increased sales and timing, and a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by an increase in receivables, net and inventories, net, driven by higher sales and timing, an increase in net current assets held for sale related to our Canadian retail disposal group, and a decrease in other accrued liabilities.
Our debt to capital ratio increased for the six months ended September 30, 2024 due to share repurchases and dividend payments, partially offset by net income attributable to McKesson for fiscal 2025.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONCLUDED)
(UNAUDITED)
In July 2024, we raised our quarterly dividend from $0.62 to $0.71 per share of common stock for dividends declared on or after such date by the Board. We anticipate that we will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment and amount of future dividends remain within the discretion of the Board and will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, legal requirements, and other factors.
Capital Resources
We fund our working capital requirements primarily with cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from short-term borrowings from our commercial paper issuances, and longer-term credit agreements and debt offerings. Funds necessary for future debt maturities and our other cash requirements, including any future payments that may be made related to our total estimated litigation liability of $6.4 billion as of September 30, 2024 payable under the terms of various settlement agreements for opioid-related claims, are expected to be met by existing cash balances, cash flow from operations, existing credit sources, and future borrowings. Long-term debt markets and commercial paper markets, our primary sources of capital after cash flow from operations, are open and accessible to us should we decide to access those markets. Detailed information regarding our debt and financing activities is included in Financial Note 7, “Debt and Financing Activities,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
We believe that our future operating cash flow, financial assets, and access to capital and credit markets, including our credit facilities, give us the ability to meet our financing needs for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that an increase in volatility or disruption in the global capital and credit markets will not impair our liquidity or increase our costs of borrowing.
CAUTIONARY NOTICE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of this report, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “projects,” “plans,” “estimates,” “targets,” or the negative of these words or other comparable terminology. The discussion of proposed acquisition or disposition transactions, financial trends, strategy, plans, assumptions, expectations, or intentions may also include forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated, or implied. Although it is not possible to predict or identify all such risks and uncertainties, they include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in Item 1A of Part I of the 2024 Annual Report and in our publicly available SEC filings and press releases. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements were first made. Except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date the statements are made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of common stock.

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.
