Item 2.02. | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
As previously announced on January 6, 2021, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with AmerisourceBergen Corporation (the “Transaction”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement, AmerisourceBergen Corporation will purchase the majority of the Company’s Alliance Healthcare business as well as a portion of the Company’s retail pharmacy international businesses in Europe (the “Disposal Group”). The Company will account for the Transaction as a business disposition. The related assets, liabilities and operating results of the Disposal Group will be reported as discontinued operations beginning with the Company’s second quarter fiscal 2021 financial results. As a result of the Transaction, also beginning with the Company’s second quarter fiscal 2021 financial results, the Company has reorganized how its remaining businesses are managed. As such, the Company’s segment reporting structure has been revised to reflect this new structure which is aligned into two reportable segments: United States and International. Historical periods presented with the Company’s second quarter fiscal 2021 financial results will also reflect the Disposal Group as discontinued operations and the Company’s new segment reporting structure.
The unaudited consolidated condensed statements of earnings and certain related financial information for the first quarter of the 2021 fiscal year and for the 2020 and 2019 fiscal years provided in Exhibit 99.1 are derived from the Company’s historical financial statements for the periods presented and have been adjusted to reflect the Disposal Group as discontinued operations and the Company’s new segment structure.
The unaudited consolidated condensed statements of earnings and related financial information provided in Exhibit 99.1 should be read in conjunction with (i) the audited consolidated condensed financial statements, the accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 and (ii) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended November 30, 2020, May 31, 2020, February 28, 2020, November 30, 2019, May 31, 2019, February 28, 2019 and November 30, 2018.
