McKESSON REPORTS FISCAL 2010 SECOND-QUARTER RESULTS
• | Revenues of $27.1 billion for the second quarter, up 2%. |
• | Second-quarter earnings per diluted share of $1.11. |
• | Second-quarter earnings per diluted share of $1.07, excluding an adjustment to litigation reserves. |
• | Fiscal 2010 Outlook raised – earnings per diluted share of $4.45 to $4.60, excluding an adjustment to litigation reserves. |
SAN FRANCISCO, October 27, 2009 –McKesson Corporation (NYSE: MCK) today reported that revenues for the second quarter ended September 30, 2009 were $27.1 billion compared to $26.6 billion a year ago. Second quarter earnings per diluted share was $1.11 compared to $1.17 per diluted share a year ago. For the second quarter, earnings per diluted share included the positive impact of a $12 million after-tax adjustment to the litigation reserves, or four cents per diluted share. Prior year earnings were positively impacted by 27 cents per diluted share from a tax reserve release of $76 million and five cents per diluted share from the disposition of a business.
“McKesson delivered solid results in the second quarter, with strong execution in both Distribution Solutions and Technology Solutions driving earnings growth,” said John H. Hammergren, chairman and chief executive officer.
The company remains committed to a balanced capital deployment strategy designed to create additional shareholder value. During the first half of the fiscal year, McKesson repurchased $299 million of common stock, leaving $531 million on the current share repurchase authorization. For the first half, McKesson had cash flow from operations of $1.5 billion and ended the quarter with cash of $3.2 billion.
“Based on the momentum from our first half results, and the incremental demand we are experiencing across our businesses from the impact of the flu season, we are raising our previous outlook and now expect that McKesson should earn between $4.45 and $4.60 per diluted share, excluding an adjustment to litigation reserves, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010,” Hammergren said.
Distribution Solutions revenues were up 2% in the second quarter. U.S. pharmaceutical distribution revenues were also up 2% for the quarter, reflecting market growth rates and the loss of certain customers in late Fiscal 2009. In addition, we continued to see a shift of revenues to direct store delivery from sales to customers’ warehouses.
Canadian revenues, on a constant currency basis, grew 9% for the quarter due to market growth rates. Including an unfavorable currency impact of 6%, Canadian revenues grew 3% for the quarter. Medical-Surgical distribution revenues were up 5% for the quarter aided by acquisitions made in late Fiscal 2009.
Distribution Solutions gross profit was $960 million compared to $951 million in the second quarter a year ago. Distribution Solutions gross profit margin in the second quarter was lower compared to the second quarter a year ago due to lower sell margin in our U.S. pharmaceutical business, partially offset by strong generics gross profit growth.
Distribution Solutions operating profit of $415 million was up 2% for the quarter and the operating margin was 1.58% compared to 1.57% a year ago.
“We came into Fiscal 2010 with some challenging trends to overcome,” Hammergren said. “Revenues in our distribution business were impacted by the loss of two customer buying groups. In our U.S. pharmaceutical business, we knew that the sell side margin would be down as a result of events that we experienced last year. I’m pleased with the actions our teams have taken to mitigate these challenges. We have controlled costs and looked for new opportunities to increase our business. We have also focused on finding ways to strengthen and expand our relationships with existing customers, as we did when the CDC selected us to distribute the H1N1 flu vaccine.”

McKesson is partnering with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to distribute the H1N1 flu vaccine and ancillary medical surgical supplies to as many as 150,000 sites across the country, making this one of the largest public health initiatives in the CDC’s history. While shipments of the vaccine and supplies began in early October under authorization of the CDC, we are still finalizing the necessary modification to our existing agreement with the CDC to encompass this distribution program.
“I am proud of the tremendous effort across McKesson and particularly from Specialty Care Solutions, Medical-Surgical Distribution, and U.S. Pharmaceutical Distribution to support the CDC with its H1N1-preparedness effort,” Hammergren said. “In just eight weeks, we created a special distribution network, which is now staffed and dedicated to this important public health initiative. I am pleased that McKesson was selected to work with the CDC on this effort.”
In Technology Solutions, revenues were up 4% for the quarter. Services revenues grew 5% reflecting the steady nature of our offering and the recognition of previously deferred revenues. Software revenues were up 1% and hardware revenues were down 13%.
Technology Solutions second-quarter results included the recognition of $22 million of previously deferred revenues, resulting in $16 million of related gross profit.
Technology Solutions operating profit in the second quarter was $116 million, up 63% from $71 million a year ago. The operating margin was 14.68% compared to 9.32%.
“I am pleased with the substantial growth in Technology Solutions’ operating profit in the second quarter, which resulted from ongoing expense management initiatives and improving operating performance across the business,” Hammergren said. “Our portfolio of products and services is unmatched in the industry, with solutions for hospitals, payors, pharmacies and physicians. When these solutions are combined with our RelayHealth business,

we create a powerful value proposition by promoting connectivity, transparency, and care coordination.”
