Acquisitions
Rx Savings Solutions, LLC
On November 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the shares of Rx Savings Solutions, LLC (“RxSS”), a privately-owned company headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, to further connect biopharma and payer services to patients. RxSS is a prescription price transparency and benefit insight company that offers affordability and adherence solutions to health plans and employers. The purchase consideration included a payment of $600 million in cash made upon closing and a maximum of $275 million of contingent consideration based on RxSS’ operational and financial performance through calendar year 2025. The payment made upon closing was funded from cash on hand. The financial results of RxSS are included in the Company’s RxTS segment as of the acquisition date. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination.
The Company recorded a liability for the contingent consideration at its fair value of $92 million as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, utilizing internal cash flow projections which are Level 3 inputs under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The contingent consideration liability will be remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the liability is settled with changes in fair value being recognized within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized fair value adjustment gains of $78 million, which reduced its contingent consideration liability, based on the estimated amount and timing of projected operational and financial information and the probability of achievement of performance milestones. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the current portion of the contingent consideration liability of $14 million is included within “Other accrued liabilities.” Recognition of the initial fair value of this contingent consideration was a non-cash investing activity.
The purchase price allocation included acquired identifiable intangible assets of $229 million, primarily representing customer relationships and technology with a weighted average amortization period of 12 years, and goodwill of $463 million. Goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s RxTS segment, which reflects the expected future benefits from certain synergies and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

SCRI Oncology, LLC
On October 31, 2022, the Company completed a transaction with HCA Healthcare, Inc. (“HCA”) to form SCRI Oncology, an oncology research business combining McKesson’s U.S. Oncology Research (“USOR”) and HCA’s Sarah Cannon Research Institute (“SCRI”) based in Nashville, Tennessee, to advance cancer care and increase access to oncology clinical research. McKesson owns a 51% controlling interest in the combined business, and the financial results are consolidated by the Company and reported within its U.S. Pharmaceutical segment as of the acquisition date. Transaction consideration included the transfer of full ownership interest in USOR to the combined business and $166 million of net cash paid to HCA, which was funded from cash on hand. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination.
The purchase price allocation included acquired identifiable intangible assets of $177 million, primarily representing customer relationships as well as trademarks and trade names with a weighted average amortization period of 17 years, and goodwill of $113 million. Goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s U.S. Pharmaceutical segment, which reflects the expected future benefits from certain synergies and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition of $46 million is deductible for tax purposes. The Company recorded noncontrolling interest of $225 million as a component of equity, which includes HCA’s proportionate interest in the identifiable net assets of SCRI at fair value of $202 million and its proportionate interest in the contributed net assets of USOR at carrying value of $23 million. The difference between the fair value of the Company’s acquired interest in SCRI net assets and the $166 million of net cash paid to HCA was recognized as additional paid in capital, as well as the Company’s reduction in ownership interest in USOR net assets.

The fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets from the acquisitions discussed above were determined by applying the income approach, using a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several periods are discounted to their present value using an appropriate rate that is commensurate with the risk inherent with the transaction. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. The Company’s fair value assessments of these acquisitions were finalized upon completion of the measurement period in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. There were no material changes to the purchase price allocations since the respective acquisition dates. Pro forma financial information has not been provided as these acquisitions did not have a material impact, individually, or in the aggregate, to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.
Divestitures
Canada Divestiture Activities
On December 30, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its Rexall and Well.ca businesses in Canada (“Canadian retail disposal group”) for an adjusted purchase price consisting of a cash payment of $9 million, received at closing, and a note of $120 million, measured at fair value and accruing interest upon satisfaction of certain conditions, and payable to the Company at the end of six years. Within the International segment and as part of the transaction, the Company divested net assets of $741 million, including $125 million of intercompany trade accounts payable primarily related to purchases of inventories from McKesson Canada assumed by the buyer upon divestiture. The Company determined that the disposal group did not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations.
During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded net charges of $667 million within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, to remeasure the Canadian retail disposal group to fair value less costs to sell. The remeasurement adjustment for the year ended March 31, 2025 includes a $48 million loss related to the accumulated other comprehensive loss 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 Level 3 fair value measurements.
European Divestiture Activities
In July 2021, the Company announced its intention to exit its businesses in Europe (“European Divestiture Activities”), as discussed in more detail below. Net gains related to these divestiture activities during the year ended March 31, 2023 were not material. The gains and charges for fiscal 2023 were recorded within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company determined that the disposal groups did not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations.
On October 31, 2022, the Company completed its previously announced transaction to sell certain of its businesses in the E.U. located in France, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Belgium, and Slovenia, along with its German headquarters and wound-care business, part of a shared services center in Lithuania, and its ownership stake in a joint venture in the Netherlands (“E.U. disposal group”) to the PHOENIX Group. As part of the transaction, the Company received cash proceeds of $892 million and divested net assets of $1.3 billion, including cash of $319 million, derecognized the carrying value of its noncontrolling interest held by minority shareholders of McKesson Europe of $382 million, and released $153 million of net accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the year ended March 31, 2023 the Company recorded net gains of $66 million to remeasure the E.U. disposal group to fair value less costs to sell. The Company’s measurement of the fair value of the E.U. disposal group was based on the total consideration received by the Company as outlined in the transaction agreement. Certain components of the total consideration included fair value measurements that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
At March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no assets or liabilities related to European divestiture activities that met the criteria for classification as held for sale. Subsequent to the divestiture activities discussed above, the Company’s European operations primarily consist of its retail and distribution businesses in Norway
