“McKesson’s second-quarter results reflect continued momentum across the business as well as further progress against our cost savings initiatives,” said Brian Tyler, chief executive officer. “As we look forward to the second half of our fiscal year, we remain confident in the strength of our broad set of solutions and capabilities, delivering execution against our strategic imperatives as we become a more focused and efficient organization.”

Revenues increased 9% year-over-year, primarily driven by growth in the U.S. Pharmaceutical and Specialty Solutions segment, largely due to branded pharmaceutical price increases and higher volumes from a retail national account customer.

Loss per diluted share of $(3.99) included charges of approximately $1.4 billion, or $5.73 per diluted share, primarily related to an impairment in connection with McKesson’s planned exit of its investment in Change Healthcare. Adjusted Earnings per diluted share of $3.60 was flat year-over-year, as a lower share count and growth in the Medical-Surgical and McKesson Prescription Technology Solutions (MRxTS) businesses were offset primarily by the lapping of a prior year pre-tax benefit of $90 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, related to a reversal of a contractual liability associated with McKesson’s investment in Change Healthcare. Excluding the prior year benefit of $0.33 per diluted share from Adjusted Earnings, second-quarter results per diluted share increased 10%.

During the first half of the fiscal year, McKesson returned $1.6 billion of cash to shareholders via $1.4 billion of common stock repurchases and $148 million of dividend payments. For the first half of the fiscal year, McKesson used cash from operations of $159 million, and invested $184 million internally, resulting in negative free cash flow of $343 million.

Adjusted Earnings

McKesson separately reports financial results on the basis of Adjusted Earnings. Adjusted Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as GAAP income from continuing operations, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, LIFO inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, restructuring, impairment and related charges, and other adjustments as well as the related income tax effects for each of these items, as applicable. A reconciliation of McKesson’s GAAP financial results to Adjusted Earnings is provided in Schedules 2 and 3 of the financial statement tables included with this release.

The company does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis prospectively as McKesson is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort, because McKesson cannot reliably forecast LIFO inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, restructuring, impairment and related charges, and other adjustments, which are difficult to predict and estimate. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond the company’s control, and as such, any associated estimate and its impact on GAAP performance could vary materially.

FX-Adjusted

McKesson also presents its financial results on an FX-adjusted basis. The company conducts business worldwide in local currencies, including the Euro, British pound and Canadian dollar. As a result, the comparability of the financial results reported in U.S. dollars can be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. FX-adjusted information is presented to provide a framework for assessing how the company’s business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The supplemental FX-adjusted information of the company’s GAAP financial results and Adjusted Earnings (Non-GAAP) is provided in Schedule 3 of the financial statement tables included with this release.

Free Cash Flow

McKesson also provides free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less payments for property, plant and equipment and capitalized software expenditures, as outlined in the company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Cautionary Statements

Except for historical information contained in this press release, matters discussed may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in those statements. It is not possible to identify all such risks and uncertainties. The reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are first made. Except to the extent required by law, the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of terminology such as “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “seeks”, “approximately”, “intends”, “plans”, “estimates” or the negative of these words or other comparable terminology. The discussion of financial trends, strategy, plans, assumptions or intentions may also include forward-looking statements. We encourage investors to read the important risk factors described in the company’s Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risk factors include, but are not limited to: changes in the healthcare industry and regulatory environment; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the impact of the Change Healthcare joint venture on the company’s results of operations; the company’s ability to manage and complete divestitures and distributions; material adverse resolution of pending legal proceedings, including those related to the distribution of controlled substances; cyberattack, natural disaster, or malfunction of sophisticated internal computer systems to perform as designed; and the potential inadequacy of insurance to cover property loss or liability claims.

Certain computations may reflect rounding adjustments.

(b)

 

We calculate GAAP net loss per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 using a weighted average of 183 million common shares, which excludes dilutive securities from the denominator due to their antidilutive effect when calculating a net loss per diluted share. We calculate Adjusted Earnings per diluted share (Non-GAAP) for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 on a fully diluted basis, using a weighted average of 184 million common shares. Because we show the GAAP to Non-GAAP per share reconciling items on a fully diluted basis, any cross-footing differences in those items are due to different weighted average share counts.

(c)

 

Adjusted Earnings per diluted share on an FX-Adjusted basis for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was $3.60.

(a) Certain computations may reflect rounding adjustments.
(b) We calculate GAAP net loss per diluted share for fiscal 2020 using a weighted average of 185 million common shares, which excludes dilutive securities from the denominator due to their antidilutive effect when calculating a net loss per diluted share. We calculate Adjusted Earnings per diluted share (Non-GAAP) for fiscal 2020 on a fully diluted basis, using a weighted average of 186 million common shares. Because we show the GAAP to Non-GAAP per share reconciling items on a fully diluted basis, any cross-footing differences in those items are due to different weighted average share counts.
(c) Adjusted Earnings per diluted share on an FX-Adjusted basis for fiscal 2020 was $6.92, which excludes the foreign currency exchange effect of $0.01.
