January 30, 2012
  • Revenues of $30.8 billion for the third quarter, up 9%.
  • Third-quarter GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.20.
  • Third-quarter Adjusted Earnings per diluted share of $1.40, up 9%.
  • Announced definitive agreement to acquire the independent banner and franchise businesses of Katz Group Canada Inc.
  • Board of Directors authorized an additional $650 million share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization to $1.5 billion.
  • Fiscal 2012 Outlook: Adjusted Earnings of $6.19 to $6.39 per diluted share.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--McKesson Corporation (NYSE: MCK) today reported that revenues for the third quarter ended December 31, 2011 were up 9% to $30.8 billion compared to $28.2 billion a year ago. On the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), third-quarter earnings per diluted share was $1.20 compared to $0.60 a year ago.

Third-quarter GAAP results included a pre-tax charge of $27 million ($15 million after-tax or six cents per diluted share), recorded in the Distribution Solutions segment, to increase an existing litigation reserve for claims against McKesson relating to First DataBank’s published drug reimbursement benchmarks, commonly referred to as Average Wholesale Prices (“AWP”). Last year’s third-quarter GAAP results also included a pre-tax AWP litigation charge of $189 million ($133 million after-tax or 52 cents per diluted share).

McKesson separately reports financial results on the basis of Adjusted Earnings in addition to GAAP. Adjusted Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as GAAP earnings from continuing operations, excluding acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and certain litigation reserve adjustments. A reconciliation of McKesson’s financial results determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted Earnings is provided in Schedules 2, 3 and 4 of the financial statement tables included with this release. Third-quarter Adjusted Earnings per diluted share was $1.40 compared to $1.28 a year ago.

For the first nine months of the fiscal year, McKesson generated cash from operations of $1.7 billion and ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $4.2 billion. During the first nine months of the fiscal year, the company deployed $204 million for acquisitions, repurchased $650 million of common stock, and paid $146 million in dividends.

The Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $650 million of common stock, bringing the total authorization to approximately $1.5 billion.

“McKesson delivered another quarter of solid operating results, and I am pleased with our accomplishments during the first nine months of our fiscal year,” said John H. Hammergren, chairman and chief executive officer. “Our strong balance sheet and cash flow also provide us with significant opportunities to create shareholder value. Today, we announced a definitive agreement to purchase for approximately CAD $920 million the independent banner and franchise businesses of Katz Group Canada Inc., a privately-owned company that operates an integrated retail pharmacy network in Canada. We are excited about this acquisition which, combined with our increased share repurchase authorization, demonstrates our commitment to using a portfolio approach to deploy our significant cash balances. Based on our year-to-date progress, we continue to expect Adjusted Earnings between $6.19 and $6.39 per diluted share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.”

Distribution Solutions revenues were up 9% in the third quarter, driven mainly by strong growth in U.S. pharmaceutical direct distribution and services revenues, reflecting market growth and our mix of business, as well as the acquisition of US Oncology.

Canadian revenues, on a constant currency basis, were down 3% for the quarter due in part to the impact of government imposed price reductions on generic drugs. Including an unfavorable currency impact of 1%, Canadian revenues were down 4% for the quarter. Medical-Surgical distribution revenues increased 2% for the quarter.

In the third quarter, Distribution Solutions gross profit improved due to the positive impact of the US Oncology acquisition.

Distribution Solutions GAAP operating profit was $510 million for the quarter and the GAAP operating margin was 1.70%. Adjusted operating profit was $572 million for the quarter and the adjusted operating margin was 1.91%.

Technology Solutions revenues were up 4% in the third quarter. GAAP operating profit was $69 million and the GAAP operating margin was 8.38%. Adjusted operating profit in the third quarter was $89 million and the adjusted operating margin was 10.81%. In the third quarter, we recorded a pre-tax product alignment charge of $42 million. This charge related to Technology Solutions’ strategy to converge core clinical and revenue cycle information technology solutions for the Horizon and Paragon® product lines onto Paragon’s Microsoft® platform over time.

Fiscal Year 2012 Outlook

McKesson expects Adjusted Earnings between $6.19 and $6.39 per diluted share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, which excludes the following GAAP items:

  • Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of approximately 48 cents per diluted share in Fiscal 2012.
  • Acquisition-related expenses of approximately seven cents per diluted share in Fiscal 2012.
  • Litigation reserve adjustments of 37 cents per diluted share.

Adjusted Earnings (Non-GAAP) Financial Information

 
Adjusted Earnings represents income from continuing operations, excluding the effects of the following items from the Company’s GAAP financial results, including the related income tax effects:
 

Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles - Amortization expense of acquired intangible assets purchased in connection with acquisitions by the Company.

 

Acquisition-related expenses - Transaction and integration expenses that are directly related to acquisitions by the Company. Examples include transaction closing costs, professional service fees, restructuring or severance charges, retention payments, employee relocation expenses, facility or other exit-related expenses, recoveries of acquisition-related expenses or post-closing expenses, or bridge loan fees.

 

Litigation reserve adjustments - Adjustments to the Company’s reserves for estimated probable losses for its Average Wholesale Price and Securities Litigation matters, as such terms were defined in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2009, respectively.

 
Income taxes on Adjusted Earnings are calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740, “Income Taxes,” which is the same accounting principles used by the Company when presenting its GAAP financial results.
 
The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted Earnings provides useful supplemental information to investors with regard to its core 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 Adjusted Earnings assists investors’ ability to compare its financial results to those of other companies in the same industry. However, the Company's Adjusted Earnings measure may be defined and calculated differently by other companies in the same industry.
 
The Company internally uses non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted Earnings 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. 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.
