Full Press Release Details

In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, McKesson Corporation ( McKesson, the Company, or we and other similar pronouns) updated its definition of Adjusted Earnings (Non-GAAP) to provide better clarity on its operating performance as a result of recent strategic changes and underlying growth. The amended definition aligns closely with the definition used by others in our industry and how we internally manage the enterprise. The amended definition becomes effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
Accordingly, the Company is providing investors the following supplemental recast presentation of Adjusted Earnings (Non-GAAP) for fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 and fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 to reflect the amended definition. No changes were made to our previously reported GAAP results.
Exhibit I: provides a reconciliation of recast Adjusted Earnings per share (Non-GAAP) for our quarterly and annual results of fiscal 2017.
Exhibit II: provides a reconciliation of certain line items from the Company s previously reported GAAP Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations to Adjusted Earnings (Non-GAAP) recast for our quarterly and annual results of fiscal 2017.
Exhibit III: provides a reconciliation of the Company s previously reported GAAP segment financial results to Adjusted Earnings (Non-GAAP) recast for our quarterly and annual results of fiscal 2017.
SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the company s financial results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles ( GAAP ), McKesson also presents the following non-GAAP measures in this document. The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP measures provides useful supplemental information to investors with regard to its operating performance, as well as assists with the comparison of its past financial performance to the Company s future financial results. Moreover, the Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures assists investors ability to compare its financial results to those of other companies in the same industry. However, the Company s non-GAAP measures used in the press tables may be defined and calculated differently by other companies in the same industry.
Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles Amortization expense of intangible assets acquired in connection with business acquisitions.
Acquisition-related expenses and adjustments Transaction, integration and other expenses that are directly related to business combinations, the formation of joint ventures and the Healthcare Technology Net Asset Exchange. Examples include transaction closing costs, professional service fees, legal fees, restructuring or severance charges, retention payments and employee relocation expenses, facility or other exit-related expenses, certain fair value adjustments including deferred revenues, contingent consideration and inventory, recoveries of acquisition-related expenses or post-closing expenses, bridge loan fees, gains or losses related to foreign currency contracts entered into directly due to acquisitions, gains or losses on business combinations, and gain on the Healthcare Technology Net Asset Exchange.
LIFO inventory-related adjustments LIFO inventory-related non-cash expense or credit adjustments.
Gains from antitrust legal settlements Net cash proceeds representing the Company s share of antitrust lawsuit settlements.
Restructuring charges Non-acquisition related restructuring charges that are incurred for significant 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. Such charges may include employee severance, retention bonuses, facility closure or consolidation costs, lease or contract termination costs, asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and amortization, and other related expenses. The restructuring programs may be implemented due to the sale or discontinuation of a product line, reorganization or management structure changes, headcount rationalization, realignment of operations or products, and/or company-wide cost saving initiatives. The amount and/or frequency of these restructuring charges are not part of our underlying business, which includes normal levels of reinvestment in the business. Any credit adjustments due to subsequent changes in estimates are also excluded.
Other adjustments The Company evaluates the nature and significance of transactions qualitatively and quantitatively on an individual basis and may include them in the determination of our Adjusted Earnings from time to time. While not all-inclusive, other adjustments may include: gains or losses from divestitures of businesses that do not qualify as discontinued operations and from dispositions of assets; asset impairments; adjustments to claim and litigation reserves for estimated probable losses; and other similar substantive and/or unusual items as deemed appropriate.
Income taxes on Adjusted Earnings are calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ( ASC ) 740, Income Taxes, which is the same accounting principle used by the Company when presenting its GAAP financial results.
Additionally, our equity method investments financial results are adjusted for the above noted items.
SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
The Company internally uses non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its own financial planning and reporting processes. Specifically, Adjusted Earnings serves as one of the measures management utilizes when allocating resources, deploying capital and assessing business performance and employee incentive compensation. The Company conducts its business worldwide in local currencies, including Euro, British pound sterling and Canadian dollars. As a result, the comparability of our results reported in U.S. dollars can be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the estimated effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, the Company has arrangements involving third party noncontrolling interests. As a result, our pre-tax results are affected by the portion of pre-tax earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. We present adjusted operating profit margin excluding noncontrolling interests to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the effect of net income that is not attributable to McKesson. Nonetheless, non-GAAP financial results and related measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures as determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP.
