Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc.
Recast of Prior Periods to Account for Pending Sale of Alliance Healthcare Business
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”). Alliance Healthcare’s investment in China and Italy and its operations in Germany are not part of the Transaction. The Company’s retail pharmacy international operations in The Netherlands, Norway and Lithuania are part of the Transaction. The Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals. The Company will account for the Transaction as a business disposition. The related assets, liabilities and operating results of the Disposal Group will now be reported as discontinued operations and are reflected as such in the financial results set forth herein for all periods presented. As a result of the Transaction, effective for the financial results for second quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company has reorganized how remaining businesses are managed. As such, our segment reporting structure has been revised to reflect this new structure and will now be aligned into two reportable segments: United States and International.
United States Segment
The Company’s United States segment includes the Walgreens business which includes the operations of retail drugstores, health and wellness services, and mail and central specialty pharmacy services, and its equity method investment in AmerisourceBergen. Sales for the segment are principally derived from the sale of prescription drugs and a wide assortment of retail products, including health and wellness, beauty, personal care and consumables and general merchandise.
International Segment
The Company’s International segment consists of pharmacy-led health and beauty retail businesses outside the U.S. and pharmaceutical wholesaling and distribution business in Germany. Pharmacy-led health and beauty retail businesses include Boots branded stores in the UK, the Republic of Ireland and Thailand, the Benavides brand in Mexico and the Ahumada brand in Chile. Sales for these businesses are principally derived from the sale of prescription drugs and health and wellness, beauty, personal care and other consumer products.
In addition, corporate-related overhead costs will no longer be allocated to reportable segments in the Company’s financial results and therefore are now reported in the “Corporate and Other” column.
The following tables are provided to present unaudited, recast financial information after considering the impact of the application of discontinued operations and the corresponding revision to our reportable segments.
Certain amounts in the following tables presented may not add due to rounding. Percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts for all periods presented.
