“I am proud of the dedication and discipline of McKesson’s employees as we navigate the complexities and uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic while continuing to serve our customers and our communities” said Brian Tyler, chief executive officer. “Thanks to the strong execution of our employees around the world, McKesson delivered first-quarter results ahead of our original expectations, as volumes across the business improved earlier than anticipated. Based on our first-quarter performance and current outlook for the remainder of the year, we are raising our previous guidance range for fiscal 2021 and now expect Adjusted Earnings per diluted share of $14.70 to $15.50”.

First-quarter revenues were $55.7 billion, flat year-over-year, as market growth and higher volumes from retail national account customers within the U.S Pharmaceutical and Specialty Solutions segment were largely offset by the impact of lower prescription volumes and primary care patient visits across the enterprise.

First-quarter Earnings per diluted share of $2.72 included an after-tax net gain of $97 million for insurance proceeds received in connection with the settlement of the shareholder derivative action related to McKesson’s controlled substances monitoring program.

First-quarter Adjusted Earnings per diluted share was $2.77 compared to $3.31 a year ago, a decrease of 16%, driven by the impact of lower prescription volumes and primary care patient visits and the lapping of the prior year contribution from the company’s now separated investment in Change Healthcare LLC (“Change Healthcare”), partially offset by a lower share count.

For the first quarter, McKesson used cash from operations of $1.1 billion, returned $74 million to shareholders via dividend payments, and invested $117 million internally, resulting in negative Free Cash Flow of $1.2 billion.

Fiscal 2021 Outlook

McKesson raised fiscal 2021 Adjusted Earnings per diluted share guidance to $14.70 to $15.50 from the previous range of $13.95 to $14.75 to reflect earlier improvement in volumes relative to original expectations. McKesson continues to expect Adjusted Earnings per diluted share growth in the second half of fiscal 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

GAAP refers to the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This press release includes GAAP financial measures as well as Non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted Other Income, Adjusted Equity Income from Change Healthcare, Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Expense, Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share, Adjusted Segment Operating Profit, Adjusted Corporate Expenses, Adjusted Operating Profit, FX-Adjusted results and Free Cash Flow which are financial measures not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Refer to the “Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information” section of the accompanying financial statement tables for the definitions and usefulness of the Company’s Non-GAAP financial measures and the attached schedules for reconciliations of the differences between the Non-GAAP financial measures and their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The Company does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis 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.

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, such as financial performance forecasts, 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: we experience costly and disruptive legal disputes, including regarding our role in distributing controlled substances such as opioids; we might experience losses not covered by insurance; we might record significant charges from impairment to goodwill, intangibles and other assets or investments; we may be unsuccessful in retail pharmacy profitability; we might be harmed by large customer purchase reductions, payment defaults or contract non-renewal; our contracts with government entities involve future funding and compliance risks; we might be harmed by changes in our relationships or contracts with suppliers; we might be adversely impacted by healthcare reform such as changes in pricing and reimbursement models; we might be adversely impacted by changes or disruptions in product supply and we have experienced and may experience difficulties in sourcing products due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on supply chains; we might be adversely impacted as a result of our distribution of generic pharmaceuticals; we might be adversely impacted by an economic slowdown (including the effects we have experienced from the COVID-19 pandemic) or recession and by disruption in capital and credit markets that might impede our access credit, increase our borrowing costs and impair the financial soundness of our customers and suppliers; we might be adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; we might be adversely impacted by events outside of our control, such as widespread public health issues (including the effects we have experienced from the COVID-19 pandemic), natural disasters, political events and other catastrophic events.
