Under the amended guidance, entities are required to recognize operating lease liabilities and operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months and to provide enhanced disclosures on key information of leasing arrangements.
WeThe Company elected the transition package of practical expedients provided within the amended guidance, which eliminates the requirements to reassess lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs for leases which commenced before April 1, 2019.

During the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, we recorded our proportionate share of income of $4 million and loss of $56 million from Change Healthcare JV. Our proportionate share of income or loss from this equity method investment includes integration expenses incurred by Change Healthcare JV and basis differences between the joint venture and McKesson including amortization of fair value adjustments primarily representing incremental intangible assets. These amounts were recorded under the caption, “Income (Loss) from Equity Method Investment in Change Healthcare Joint Venture,” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
At June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, our carrying value of this equity method investment was $3,617 million and $3,513 million.

Initial Public Offering by Change Healthcare Inc.
On June 27, 2019, common stock and certain other securities of Change Healthcare Inc. began trading on the NASDAQ (“IPO”). Change Healthcare Inc. is a holding company and does not own any material assets or have any operations other than through its interest in Change Healthcare JV.
On July 1, 2019, upon the completion of its IPO, Change Healthcare Inc. received net cash proceeds of approximately $888 million. Change Healthcare Inc. contributed the proceeds from its offering of common stock of $609 million to Change Healthcare JV in exchange for additional membership interests of Change Healthcare JV (“LLC Units”) at the equivalent of its offering price of $13 per share. The proceeds from the concurrent offering of other securities of $279 million were used by Change Healthcare Inc. to acquire certain securities of Change Healthcare JV that substantially mirror the terms of other securities included in the offering by Change Healthcare Inc. Change Healthcare JV, in return, used the majority of the IPO proceeds to repay a portion of the joint venture’s outstanding debt. As a result, McKesson’s equity interest in Change Healthcare JV was diluted from approximately 70% to approximately 58.5% and Change Healthcare Inc. now owns approximately 41.5% of the outstanding LLC Units. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2020, we expect to recognizethe Company recognized a pre-tax dilution loss of approximately $246 million associated with our reduction of our ownership in the Change Healthcare JV.

3.    Held for Sale
Assets and liabilities to be disposed of by sale (“disposal groups”) are reclassified into “held for sale” if their carrying amounts are principally expected to be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The reclassification occurs when the disposal group is available for immediate sale and the sale is highly probable. These criteria are generally met when an agreement to sell exists, or management has committed to a plan to sell the assets within one year. Disposal groups are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are not depreciated or amortized. The fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, is assessed each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and any remeasurement to the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell is reported as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group. Assets and liabilities that have met the classification as held for sale were $856 million and $471 million as of December 31, 2019. These amounts primarily consist of the majority of the Company’s German pharmaceutical wholesale business described below.

Other Plans

There were no material restructuring, impairment and related charges for other plans recorded during the first quarters of 2020three and 2019.nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The restructuring liabilities for other plans as of June 30,December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 were $60$48 million and $87 million.
Long-Lived Asset Impairments
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax charge of $64 million ($53 million after-tax) to impair certain long-lived and intangible assets within the Company’s European Pharmaceutical Solutions segment. This charge related primarily to intangible assets associated with pharmacy licenses within the U.K retail business due to a decline in estimated future cash flows driven by additional U.K. government reimbursement reductions communicated in the three months ended December 31, 2019. The Company used a combination of an income approach (a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method) and a market approach to estimate the fair value of the long-lived and intangible assets. The fair value of the intangible assets is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company specific information.
Additionally, during the third quarter of 2020, the Company performed an interim impairment test of long-lived and intangible assets for its Rexall Health retail business due to the decline in the estimated future cash flows primarily driven by lower than expected growth in both prescription volume and sales of non-prescription goods. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of $30 million (pre-tax and after-tax) to impair certain long-lived and intangible assets, primarily customer relationships. The Company utilized an income approach (a DCF method) for estimating the fair value of the long-lived and intangible assets. The fair value of these assets is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company specific information.
During the third quarter of 2019, the Company performed an interim impairment test of long-lived assets for its Rexall Health retail business due to the decline in the estimated future cash flows primarily driven by a lower projected overall growth rate resulting from the ongoing impact of government regulations. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of $35 million (pre-tax and after-tax) to impair certain long-lived assets at retail stores and certain intangible assets (primarily customer relationships). The Company utilized an income approach (a DCF method) for estimating the fair value of the long-lived and intangible assets. The fair value of these assets is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company specific information.
During the first quarter of 2019, wethe Company performed an interim impairment test of long-lived assets primarily for ourits U.K. retail business due to the decline in the estimated future cash flows driven by additional U.K. government reimbursement reductions announced on June 29, 2018. As a result, wethe Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax charge of $20 million ($16 million after-tax) to impair the carrying value of certain intangible assets (primarily pharmacy licenses). WeThe Company utilized a market approach for estimating the fair value of intangible assets. The fair value of the intangible assets is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company specific information.
Refer to Financial Note 15, “Fair Value Measurements,” for more information on nonrecurring fair value measurements.
4.5.    Goodwill Impairment Charges
We evaluateThe Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of January 1 each year and at an interim date, if indicators of potential impairment exist. On October 1, 2019, the Company voluntarily changed its annual goodwill impairment testing date from January 1 to October 1 to better align with the timing of the Company’s annual long-term planning process. Accordingly, management determined that the change in accounting principle is preferable under the circumstance. This change has been applied prospectively from October 1, 2019 as retrospective application is deemed impracticable due to the inability to objectively determine the assumptions and significant estimates used in earlier periods without the benefit of hindsight. This change was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as it did not delay, accelerate, or avoid any potential goodwill impairment charge. The impairment testing performed in the nine months ended December 31, 2019 did not indicate any material impairment of goodwill. As discussed below, impairment testing performed in the nine months ended December 31, 2018 indicated impairment charges totaling $591 million (pre-tax and after-tax).

These charges were recorded under the caption, “Goodwill Impairment Charges” within operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Prior to implementing the newcurrent segment reporting structure in the first quarter of 2019, ourthe Company’s European operations were considered a single reporting unit. Following the change in reportable segments, ourthe Company’s European Pharmaceutical Solutions segment was split into two2 distinct reporting units, Retail Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Distribution (formerly known as “Consumer Solutions” and “Pharmacy Solutions”) for purposes of goodwill impairment testing. As a result, we werethe Company was required to perform a goodwill impairment test for these two2 new reporting units upon the change in reportable segment.segments. Consequently, wethe Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $238 million (pre-tax and after-tax) in the first quarter of 2019 primarily because the estimated fair value of the Pharmaceutical Distribution reporting unit was determined to be lower than its reassigned carrying value.
During the first quarter of 2019, both reporting units projected a decline in the estimated future cash flows primarily triggered by additional U.K. government actions which were announced on June 29, 2018. Accordingly, wethe Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test for these reporting units. As a result, wethe Company determined that the carrying values of these reporting units exceeded their estimated fair values and recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $332 million (pre-tax and after-tax), primarily for ourits Retail Pharmacy reporting unit. The discount rate and terminal growth rate used for the Retail Pharmacy reporting unit in the first quarter 2019 impairment test were 8.5% and 1.25%. The discount rate and terminal growth rate used for the Pharmaceutical Distribution reporting unit in the first quarter 2019 impairment test were 8.0% and 1.25%. As previously disclosed in ourthe Company’s 2019 Annual Report, we had impairedas of March 31, 2019 the entire remaining goodwill balances of both reporting units as of March 31, 2019.were impaired.

7.8.Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Noncontrolling Interests
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

OurThe Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interests primarily relate to ourits consolidated subsidiary, McKesson Europe AG (“McKesson Europe”). Under the December 2014 domination and profit and loss transfer agreement (the “Domination Agreement”), the noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe are entitled to receive an annual recurring compensation amount of €0.83 per share and a one-time guaranteed dividend for calendar year 2014 of €0.83 per share reduced accordingly for any dividend paid by McKesson Europe in relation to that year. As a result, wethe Company recorded a total attribution of net income to the noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe of $11 million and $12$33 million during the first quarters of 2020three and 2019.nine months ended December 31, 2019 and $11 million and $34 million during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018. All amounts were recorded within net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in ourthe Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations within the caption, “Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests,” and the corresponding liability balance was recorded within other accrued liabilities on ourthe Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Under the Domination Agreement, the noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe have a right to put (“Put Right”) their noncontrolling shares at €22.99 per share increased annually for interest in the amount of 5 percentage points above a base rate published by the German Bundesbank semi-annually, less any compensation amount or guaranteed dividend already paid by McKesson with respect to the relevant time period (“Put Amount”). The exercise of the Put Right will reduce the balance of redeemable noncontrolling interests. During the first quarters of 2020three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no material exercises of the Put Right. The balance of redeemable noncontrolling interests is reported as the greater of its carrying value or its maximum redemption value at each reporting date. The redemption value is the Put Amount adjusted each period for exchange rate fluctuations. At June 30,December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests of $1.40 billion and $1.39 billion exceeded the maximum redemption value of $1.25$1.24 billion and $1.23 billion. At June 30,December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, wethe Company owned approximately 77% of McKesson Europe’s outstanding common shares.

8.9.Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share are computed similarly to basic earnings per common share except that the former reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted loss per common share for the first quarter ofnine months ended December 31, 2019 was calculated by excluding potentially dilutive securities from the denominator of the share computation due to their anti-dilutive effects.
The computations for basic and diluted earnings or loss per common share are as follows:

Leases

Lessee
We leaseThe Company leases facilities and equipment primarily under operating leases. We recognizeThe Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, taking into account, when applicable, lessor incentives for tenant improvements, periods where no rent payment is required and escalations in rent payments over the term of the lease. Remaining terms for facility leases generally range from one to fifteen years, while remaining terms for equipment leases generally range from one to sixfive years. Most real property leases contain renewal options (typically for five-year increments). Generally, the renewal option periods are not included within the lease term as we arethe Company is not reasonably certain to exercise that right at lease commencement. OurThe Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. ROU assets represent ourthe Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent ourits obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating leaseslease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term, discounted at ourthe Company’s incremental borrowing rate as the implicit rate in the lease is not readily determinable for most of ourthe Company’s leases. We estimateThe Company estimates the discount rate as ourits incremental borrowing rate based on qualitative factors including Company-specific credit rating, lease term, general economic and the interest rate environment. For existing leases that commenced prior to the adoption of the amended leasing guidance, wethe Company determined the discount rate on April 1, 2019 using the full lease term. Operating lease liabilities are recorded under the caption, “Current portion of operating lease liabilities” and “Long-Term Operating Lease Liabilities” and the corresponding lease assets are recorded under the caption, “Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets,” in ourthe Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease assets are included inwithin property, plant and equipment, net and finance lease liabilities are included inwithin the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt in ourthe Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

At June 30,December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019,, the carrying amounts of cash, certain cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, receivables, drafts and accounts payable, short-term borrowings and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.
The fair value of ourthe Company’s commercial paper was determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities, which are considered Level 1 inputs.
OurThe Company’s long-term debt is carried at amortized cost. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these liabilities were $7.7 billion and $8.1$8.2 billion at June 30,December 31, 2019, and $7.6 billion and $7.9 billion at March 31, 2019. The estimated fair value of ourthe Company’s long-term debt was determined using quoted market prices in a less active market and other observable inputs from available market information, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30,December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 included investments in money market funds of $460$676 million and $1,205 million,$1.2 billion, which are reported at fair value. The fair value of money market funds was determined by using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets, which are considered to be Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. The carrying value of all other cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to their relatively short-term nature.

Goodwill
Fair value assessments of the reporting unit and the reporting unit's net assets, which are performed for goodwill impairment tests, are considered a Level 3 measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information. WeThe Company considered a market approach as well as an income approach using the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model to determine the fair value of the reporting unit.
Long-lived Assets

We utilizeThe Company utilizes multiple approaches including the DCF model and market approaches for estimating the fair value of intangible assets. The future cash flows used in the analysis are based on internal cash flow projections based on ourfrom its long-range plans and include significant assumptions by management. Accordingly, the fair value assessment of the long-lived assets is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.

Often, it is not reasonably possible for usthe Company to determine that a loss is probable for a claim, or to reasonably estimate the amount of loss or a range of loss, because of the limited information available and the potential effects of future events and decisions by third parties, such as courts and regulators, that will determine the ultimate resolution of the claim. Many of the matters described are at preliminary stages, raise novel theories of liability or seek an indeterminate amount of damages. It is not uncommon for claims to be resolved over many years. We reviewThe Company reviews loss contingencies at least quarterly, to determine whether the loss probability has changed and whether weit can make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss. When we determinethe Company determines that a loss from a claim is probable and reasonably estimable, we recordit records a liability in the amount of ourits estimate for the ultimate loss. WeThe Company also provideprovides disclosure when it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed ourits recorded liability.

II. Other LitigationBecause of the novelty of the claims asserted and Claimsthe complexity of litigation involving numerous parties across multiple jurisdictions, the Company has determined that liability is not probable, and is not able to reasonably estimate a loss or range of loss. To be viable, a broad settlement arrangement would require participation of numerous parties and the resolution of many complex issues. The scope and terms of any settlement framework, including the financial terms, have not been determined. Because of the many uncertainties associated with any potential settlement arrangements, the Company has not reached a point where settlement is probable, and as such has not recognized any liability related to any potential settlement framework as of December 31, 2019. The Company believes that it has valid defenses to the claims pending against it and intends to vigorously defend against all such claims. An adverse judgment or negotiated resolution in any of these matters could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, cash flows or liquidity, or results of operations.

Additionally, gross profit and gross profit margin for 2020 were also unfavorably affected by continuous lower government reimbursements in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”)three and lower last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) credits. Additionally, gross profit in the first quarter of 2019nine months ended December 31, 2018 included $35 million of net cash proceeds received of $104 million and $139 million representing our share of antitrust legal settlements.
LIFO inventory credits were $15$66 million and $21 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and $114 million and $64 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, which favorably impacted our gross profit margin in 2020 compared to the first quarters of 2020 and 2019.prior year. Our U.S. Pharmaceutical business uses the LIFO method of accounting for the majority of its inventories, which results in cost of sales that more closely reflects replacement cost than under other accounting methods. The business’ practice is to pass on to customers published price changes from suppliers. Manufacturers generally provide us with price protection, which limits price related inventory losses. A LIFO expense is recognized when the net effect of price increases on pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical products held in inventory exceeds the impact of price declines, including the effect of branded pharmaceutical products that have lost market exclusivity. A LIFO credit is recognized when the net effect of price declines exceeds the impact of price increases on pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical products held in inventory. Our quarterly LIFO expensecredit is based on our estimates of the annual LIFO expensecredit which areis impacted by expected changes in year-end inventory quantities, product mix and manufacturer pricing practices, which may be influenced by market and other external influences. Changes to any of the above factors could have a material impact to our annual LIFO expense.credit. The actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is calculated at the end of the fiscal year. LIFO credits are higher in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to lower brand inflation and higher generic deflation.

Opioid-Related Litigation and Claims
We are a defendant in over 3,000 cases asserting claims related to distribution of controlled substances (opioids) in federal and state courts. We are a party to discussions with the objective of achieving broad resolution of the remaining claims. Because of the large number of parties involved, together with the novelty and complexity of the issues, for which there may be different considerations among the parties, we cannot predict the successful resolution through a negotiated settlement. On October 21, 2019, we disclosed a settlement with two Ohio counties, for which we recorded a charge of $82 million recorded within operating expense for the second quarter of 2020. An adverse judgment or negotiated resolution in any of these matters could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, cash flows or liquidity, or results of operations. Refer to Financial Note 16, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q for more information.
State Opioid Statutes
Legislative, regulatory or industry measures to address the misuse of prescription opioid medications could affect our business in ways that we may not be able to predict. In April 2018, the State of New York adopted the Opioid Stewardship Act (the “OSA”) which required the imposition of an annual surcharge on all manufacturers and distributors licensed to sell or distribute opioids in New York.  On December 19, 2018, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York found the law unconstitutional and issued an injunction preventing the State of New York from enforcing the law. The State of New York appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals to the Second Circuit but did not seek a stay of the district court’s ruling. During the third quarter of 2019, we reversed the previously accrued estimated liability under the New York State OSA. The State of New York has subsequently adopted an excise tax on sales of opioids in the State, which became effective July 1, 2019. The excise tax would apply only to the first sale occurring in New York, and thus may not apply to sales from our distribution centers in New York to New York customers. In addition, certain states have now passed legislation that could require us to pay taxes or assessments on the distribution of opioid medications in those states. Other states are also considering similar legislation. These proposed and passed bills vary in the amounts and the means of calculation. Liabilities for taxes or assessments under any such laws could have an adverse impact on our results of operations, unless we are able to mitigate them through operational changes or commercial arrangements where permitted. Taxes or assessments incurred under state opioid statutes were not material during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Restructuring Initiatives
During 2019, we committed to various restructuring initiatives intended to drive long-term incremental profit growth and increase operational efficiency. The initiatives consist of the optimization of the Company’sour operating models and cost structures primarily through centralization and outsourcing of certain administrative functions and cost management. The initiatives also consist of implementing certain actions including a reduction in workforce, reorganization and consolidation of our business operations and related headcount reductions, the closures of retail pharmacy stores in Europe as well as other facility closures. This set of initiatives are expected to be completed by the end of 2021. Additionally, we committed to certain actions in connection with the previously announced relocation of our corporate headquarters from San Francisco, California to Irving, Texas, which became effective April 1, 2019. We anticipate that the relocation will be completed by January 2021. In connection with these initiatives, we expect to record total pre-tax charges of approximately $520$520 millionto $660 million, of which $354$434 million of pre-tax charges were recorded to date primarily representing employee severance, exit-related costs, asset impairment charges and accelerated depreciation. Estimated remaining charges primarily consist of facility and other exit costs and employee-related costs.

Goodwill Impairment
As previously disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the estimated fair value of our McKesson Canada reporting unit exceeded the carrying value as part of our 2019 annual goodwill impairment test. However, other risks, expenses and future developments, such as additional government actions and material changes in key market assumptions that we were unable to anticipate as of the 2019 testing date may require us to revise the projected cash flows, which could adversely affect the fair value of our McKesson Canada reporting unit in Other in future periods.

During the first quartersquarter of 2020 and 2019. Our proportionate sharefor the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, we owned approximately 70% of income or loss for 2020 and 2019 includes amortization expenses associated with equity method intangible assets and integration expenses incurred by thethis joint venture. The amounts are recorded under the caption, “Income (Loss) from Equity Method Investment in Change Healthcare Joint Venture,” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
On June 27, 2019, common stock and certain other securities of Change Healthcare Inc. began trading on the NASDAQ (“IPO.”IPO”). On July 1, 2019, upon the completion of its IPO, Change Healthcare Inc. receivedcontributed net cash proceeds of approximately $888 million. Change Healthcare Inc. contributed the proceedsit received from its offering of common stock of $609 million to Change Healthcare JV in exchange for additional membership interests of Change Healthcare JV (“LLC Units”) at the equivalent of its offering price of $13 per share. The proceeds from the concurrent offering of other securities of $279 million were also used by Change Healthcare Inc. to acquire certain securities of Change Healthcare JV that substantially mirror the terms of other securities included in the offering by Change Healthcare Inc.JV. As a result, McKesson’s equity interest in Change Healthcare JV was reduced to approximately 58.5%, which will bewas used to recognize our proportionate share in net income or loss from Change Healthcare JV, commencing the second quarter of 2020. As a result of thisthe ownership dilution to 58.5% from 70%, we expect to recognizerecognized a pre-tax dilution loss of approximately $246 million in the second quarter of 2020. Additionally, our proportionate share of income or loss from this equity method investment is expected to be further reduced as settlements of other securities may occur in the future reporting periods.

This charge was below the carrying value of ourincluded within equity earnings and charges from investment in Change Healthcare JV indicating a potential impairment. Accordingly, we evaluated our equity method investmentjoint venture in Change Healthcare JV for an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). We considered various factors in determining whether an OTTI has occurred, including the limited trading history available, our ability and intent to hold the investment until its fair value recovers, the implied EBITDA valuation multiples compared to public guideline companies, the joint venture’s ability to achieve milestones and any notable operational and strategic changes by the joint venture. After the evaluation, we determined that an OTTI has not occurred as of June 30, 2019 and as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, we may be required to recognize an impairment loss in future reporting periods if and when a decline in fair value of our investment in Change Healthcare JV below the carrying value is determined to be other than temporary. Such determination will be based on the prevailing facts and circumstances at that time, including the reported results and disclosures of Change Healthcare Inc. as well as the market price of its common stock.

Equity Method Investments

We evaluate our investments for other-than-temporary impairments when circumstances indicate those assets may be impaired. When the decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the fair value is less than the carrying value49

Table of the investment. We consider various factors in determining whether a loss in value of an investment is other than temporary including: the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below cost; the financial condition of the investees, and our intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery of value. Management makes certain judgments and estimates in its assessment including but not limited to: identifying if circumstances indicate a decline in value is other than temporary, expectations about the business operations of investees, as well as industry, financial and market factors. Any significant changes in assumptions or judgments in assessing impairments could result in an impairment charge.Contents

In May 2019, we entered into an ASR program with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $600 million of the Company’s common stock. We repurchased a total of 4.7 million shares at an average price per share of $127.68 during the first quarter of 2020.
During the first quarter of 2020, we repurchased 0.7 million of the Company’s shares for $84 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $128.64. During the second quarter of 2020, we repurchased 5.2 million of the Company’s shares for $750 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $144.28. During the third quarter of 2020, we repurchased 3.4 million of the Company’s shares for $500 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $148.39.
The total authorization outstanding for repurchases of the Company’s common stock was $2.8$1.5 billion at June 30,December 31, 2019.
We believe that our operating cash flow, financial assets and current access to capital and credit markets, including our existing credit facilities, will give us the ability to meet our financing needs for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that future volatility and disruption in the global capital and credit markets will not impair our liquidity or increase our costs of borrowing.

As previously discussed in this financial review, we are a party to discussions with the objective of achieving broad resolution of the remaining opioid-related litigation and claims. Although we are not able to predict the outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses in these matters, an adverse judgment or negotiated resolution in any of these matters could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, cash flows or liquidity.

Our debt to capital ratio increased infor the first quarter of 2020nine months ended December 31, 2019 primarily due to higher short-term borrowings and a decrease in stockholders’ equity driven by share repurchases.
In July 2019, the Company’swe raised our quarterly dividend was raised from $0.39 to $0.41 per common share for dividends declared on or after such date by the Board. The Company anticipatesWe anticipate that itwe will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment and amount of future dividends remain within the discretion of the Board and will depend upon the Company'sour future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.
The carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests related to McKesson Europe was $1.40$1.4 billion at June 30,December 31, 2019, which exceeded the maximum redemption value of $1.25$1.2 billion. The balance of redeemable noncontrolling interests is reported at the greater of its carrying value or its maximum redemption value at each reporting date. Upon the effectiveness of the Domination Agreement on December 2, 2014, the noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe received a put right that enables them to put their McKesson Europe shares to McKesson at €22.99 per share, which price is increased annually for interest in the amount of 5 percentage points above a base rate published semiannually by the German Bundesbank, less any compensation amount or guaranteed dividend already paid (“Put Amount”). The redemption value is the Put Amount adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations each period. The ultimate amount and timing of any future cash payments related to the Put Amount are uncertain. Additionally, we are obligated to pay an annual recurring compensation of €0.83 per McKesson Europe share (the “Compensation Amount”) to the noncontrolling shareholders of McKesson Europe under the Domination Agreement. The Compensation Amount is recognized ratably during the applicable annual period. The Domination Agreement does not have an expiration date and can be terminated by McKesson without cause in writing no earlier than March 31, 2020.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings.
The information set forth in Financial Note 15,16, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements appearingincluded in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A.Risk Factors.
Except as noted below, thereThere have been no material changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our results10-K, and as updated in Item 1A of operations are impacted by our investment in Change Healthcare JV.
Change Healthcare JV is jointly governed by McKesson and Change Healthcare Inc. Operating a business under joint governance of unaffiliated, controlling members could lead to conflicts of interest or deadlocks on important and time-sensitive operational, financial or strategic decisions, and will require additional organizational formalities as well as time-consuming procedures for sharing information and making decisions. Any failure to manage the joint venture relationship or to realize the strategic and financial benefits that we expect, may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
Our business and results of operations could be impacted if we fail to manage and complete divestitures and distributions.
We regularly evaluate our portfolio in order to determine whether an asset or business may no longer help us meet our objectives. When we decide to sell assets or otherwise exit a business, we may encounter difficulty in finding buyers or alternative exit strategies on acceptable terms in a timely manner, which could delay the achievementPart II of our strategic objectives. For example, we might experience unexpected challenges in our plans for a tax-efficient distribution of our investment in Change Healthcare JV that could delay our exit from that investment. We may also experience greater dissynergies than expected from divestitures, and the impact of any divestiture on our revenue growth may be larger than projected. After reaching an agreement with a buyer, we likely will be subject to satisfaction of pre-closing conditions as well as to necessary regulatory and governmental approvals, which, if not satisfied or obtained, may prevent us from completing the transaction. Dispositions may also involve continued financial involvement in the divested business, such as through continuing equity ownership, guarantees, indemnities or other financial obligations. Under these arrangements, performance by the divested businesses or other conditions outside of our control could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

We may be required to record a significant charge to earnings if our goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets, or investments become further impaired.
We are required under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) to test our goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators for potential impairment exist. Indicators that are considered include significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results, significant changes in the use of the assets, significant negative industry, or economic trends or a significant decline in the Company’s stock price and/or market capitalization for a sustained time. In addition, we periodically review our intangible and other long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances, such as a divestiture, indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our intangible and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include slower growth rates, the loss of a significant customer, or divestiture of a business or asset for less than our carrying value. We may be required to record a significant charge to earnings in our consolidated financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or intangible and other long-lived assets is determined. Any such charge could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
For example, we expect to continue to review the carrying value of our equity method investment in Change Healthcare JV for potential impairment, and we might incur a material impairment charge. Any such impairment charge could materially adversely affect our consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Financial Note 2, “Equity Method Investment in Change Healthcare Joint Venture,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in this Quarterly Reportreports on Form 10‑Q.
There are inherent uncertainties in management’s estimates, judgments10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and assumptions used in assessing recoverability of goodwill, intangible, other long-lived assets, or investments. Any material changes in key assumptions, including failure to meet business plans, negative changes in government reimbursement rates, a deterioration in the U.S. and global financial markets, an increase in interest rate or an increase in the cost of equity financing by market participants within the industry or other unanticipated events and circumstances, may decrease the projected cash flows or increase the discount rates and could potentially result in an impairment charge that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.September 30, 2019.
Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Stock repurchases may be made from time-to-time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) programs, or by any combination of such methods. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including our stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, restrictions under our debt obligations and other market and economic conditions.
In May 2019, we entered into an ASR program with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $600 million of the Company’s common stock. We repurchased a total of 4.7 million shares at an average price per share of $127.68 during the first quarter of 2020.
During the first quarter of 2020, we repurchased 0.7 million of the Company’s shares for $84 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $128.64. During the second quarter of 2020, we repurchased 5.2 million of the Company’s shares for $750 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $144.28. During the third quarter of 2020, we repurchased 3.4 million of the Company’s shares for $500 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $148.39.
The total authorization outstanding for repurchases of the Company’s common stock was $2.8$1.5 billion at June 30,December 31, 2019.
