McKesson does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis as the company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort. McKesson cannot reasonably forecast LIFO inventory-related adjustments, certain litigation loss and gain contingencies, restructuring, impairment and related charges, and other adjustments, which are difficult to predict and estimate. These items are generally 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.
McKesson is raising and narrowing its fiscal 2026 Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share guidance to $38.80 to $39.20 from the previous range of $38.35 to $38.85.
Fiscal 2026 Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share guidance includes $0.09 related to year-to-date gains associated with McKesson Ventures' equity investments.
Additional modeling considerations will be provided in the earnings call presentation.
