BUSINESS (a) General Development of Business New McKesson (the "Company") was organized in the state of Delaware on July 7, 1994 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of McKesson Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("McKesson"), for the purpose of owning and operating the businesses of McKesson following the acquisition of McKesson's pharmaceutical benefits management business ("PCS") by a subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company, for approximately $4 billion (the "PCS Transaction"). For financial statement purposes, the Company is the continuing entity and has retained the name McKesson Corporation. PCS is reflected as a discontinued operation in the Company's consolidated financial statements. During fiscal 1996, the Company made several key acquisitions and investments reflecting its increased focus on health care. In December 1995, the Company acquired Ogden BioServices Corporation, renamed McKesson Bioservices Corporation, which provides support services to commercial, non-profit and governmental organizations engaged in drug development and biomedical research. Also during fiscal 1996, the Company acquired interests in two companies engaged in the development of new technology-based initiatives to enhance the Health Care Services segment's competitive position. In addition, during fiscal 1996 the Company made significant internal investments in technology-based initiatives to improve its competitiveness in the retail and institutional market segments. The CareMax(SM) and OmniLink(SM) programs provide value-added programs and services designed to improve the profitability and competitiveness of community pharmacies. The BidLink(SM) and SupplyNET(SM) programs are designed to assist institutional consumers in enhancing logistics, contract compliance and utilization management. In April 1996, the Company acquired Automated Healthcare, Inc. which provides automated pharmaceutical dispensing equipment for use by health care institutions. In May 1995, the Company announced its intention to repurchase from time to time up to 3.5 million shares of its common stock in open market or private transactions. During fiscal 1996, the Company repurchased 1.35 million shares for $63 million. On May 31, 1996, the Company announced the authorization for the repurchase of an additional 3.5 million common shares and that substantially all of the shares in the initial authorization had been repurchased. Developments which could be considered significant to individual segments of the business are described under (c)(1) "Narrative Description of Business" on pages 2 through 6 of this report. (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments Financial information for the three years ended March 31, 1996 appears in Financial Note 15, "Segments of Business", on pages 37 and 38 of the Appendix to the Company's 1996 Proxy Statement, which note is incorporated herein by reference. 1 (c) Narrative Description of Business (1) Description of Segments of Business The principal segments of the Company's business are: Health Care Services Service Merchandising Water Products Armor All Health Care Services Products & Markets Wholesale Distribution of Pharmaceutical & Health Care Products -- Within the United States and Canada, the Company is the largest wholesale distributor of ethical and proprietary drugs and health and beauty care products. Its products are distributed to chain and independent drug stores, hospitals, alternate care sites, food stores and mass merchandisers. This business requires large inventories, significant amounts of which are financed by related payables. In addition, the Company owns a 22.7% equity interest in Nadro, S.A. de C.V. the leading pharmaceutical wholesaler in Mexico. Using the names "Economost" and "Econolink" and a number of related service marks, the Company has promoted electronic order entry systems and a wide range of computerized merchandising and asset management services for drug retailers and hospitals. The Company is also a supplier of computer systems and software for pharmacy management. Voluntary Marketing Program -- Under the Valu-Rite(R) pharmacy program, the Company provides its independent U.S. retail drug store customers with a common marketing identity, group advertising, purchasing programs, promotional merchandise and access to a pharmacy provider network. At March 31, 1996, approximately 5,050 stores were participating in the Valu-Rite program. Similar programs are available to independent drug stores through other drug wholesalers. The Company provides similar services to retail drug stores in Canada. Independent pharmacists will have access to OmniLink through CareMax, a new pharmacy network. This will enable CareMax members to take advantage of new profit opportunities through improved access to managed care networks and programs designed to enhance patient care. OmniLink is a centralized pharmacy computer application offered to all the Company's retail customers. OmniLink enables pharmacists to streamline pharmacy transactions, increase transaction accuracy, and participate in patient care programs. Using OmniLink, retailers can better manage and serve customers, pharmacy benefit managers, pharmaceutical manufacturers and managed care organizations. In the institutional market segment, BidLink enables hospitals, alternate care sites and long-term health care providers to manage price and product mix. SupplyNET provides tools to the Company's institutional customers for contract compliance and utilization management. In the United States, the Company does business under the McKesson Drug Company and McKesson Health Systems trade-names. In Canada, the Company does business under the name Medis Health and Pharmaceutical Services Inc. Pharmaceutical Services Group -- McKesson's Pharmaceutical Services Group is comprised of Healthcare Delivery Systems, Inc. ("HDS") and McKesson Bioservices Corporation ("Bioservices"). HDS 2 provides services designed to meet the needs of pharmaceutical and other healthcare manufacturers in commercializing a product and enhancing its market position. The core activity currently is the development of integrated systems for specialized delivery of biotech and other high-cost pharmaceutical therapies. These systems manage manufacturer cost and information requirements through a variety of services including financial assistance programs for patients, reimbursement support and patient advocacy programs and product hot- line, physician and patient information programs. These services are also provided to manufacturers on a stand alone basis outside of integrated service systems. Bioservices provides support services to commercial, non-profit and governmental organizations engaged in drug development and biomedical research including biological repository management, clinical trials support and regulatory process management services. Other -- Through its Sunmark operations, the Company supplies durable medical equipment to the home health care industry. Through Zee Medical, Inc., the Company distributes first-aid products and supplies to industrial and commercial customers. Through Automated Healthcare Inc., acquired in April 1996, the Company provides automated pharmaceutical dispensing equipment for use by health care institutions. Competition In every area of operations, the distribution businesses (excluding the Pharmaceutical Services Group) face strong competition both in price and service from national, regional and local full-line, short-line and specialty wholesalers, service merchandisers, and from manufacturers engaged in direct distribution. The particular areas in which the Pharmaceutical Services Group provides services are in a rapid state of development and therefore there are no clearly defined markets in which the Pharmaceutical Services Group competes. It nonetheless faces competition from various other service providers and from pharmaceutical and other healthcare manufacturers (as well as other potential customers of the Pharmaceutical Services Group) which may from time to time decide to develop, for their own internal needs, those services which are provided by the Pharmaceutical Services Group and other competing service providers. Price, quality of service, and, in some cases, convenience to the customer are generally the principal competitive elements in the Health Care Services segment. Intellectual Property The principal trademarks and service marks of the Health Care Services segment are: ECONOMOST(R), ECONOLINK(R), VALU-RITE(R), BidLink, SupplyNET, CareMax, OmniLink and RxOBOT(TM). The Health Care Services segment also owns other registered and unregistered trademarks and service marks and similar rights. All of the principal marks are registered in the United States and registration has been obtained or applied for in Canada with respect to such marks. The United States federal registrations of these trademarks and service marks have ten or twenty year terms, depending on date of registration; the Canadian registrations have fifteen year terms. All are subject to unlimited renewals. The Company believes this business has taken all necessary steps to preserve the registration and duration of its trademarks and service marks, although no assurance can be given that it will be able to successfully enforce or protect its rights thereunder in the event that they are subject to third- party infringement. The Company does not consider any particular patents, licenses, franchises or concessions to be material to the business of the Health Care Services segment. 3 Service Merchandising Products & Markets Millbrook Distribution Services Inc. ("Millbrook") -- Millbrook distributes health and beauty care products, general merchandise and specialty foods to supermarkets, convenience stores, discount department stores and drugstores. The primary market area for product distribution is the U.S., east of the Rockies. In addition to the core procurement and distribution businesses, Millbrook provides services such as product recommendations, planogramming, retail shelf management and temporary field labor. Competition In all areas of operation, Millbrook faces strong competition both as to price and service from national and regional grocery wholesalers, regional specialty distributors, service merchandisers and self-warehousing by retailers and buying organizations. Economies of scale, as well as price, product variety, value-add services and marketing and technological support are generally the principal competitive elements. Intellectual Property The principal trademarks and service marks of the Service Merchandising segment are: VALU-STAR(R), BRIGHT IDEAS(R), and CARRIAGE TRADE(R). Millbrook also owns other registered and unregistered trademarks and service marks and similar rights. All of the principal marks are registered in the United States. The United States federal registrations of these trademarks and service marks have ten or twenty year terms, depending on date of registration; and are subject to unlimited renewals. The Company believes this business has taken all necessary steps to preserve the registration and duration of its trademarks and service marks, although no assurance can be given that it will be able to successfully enforce or protect its rights thereunder in the event that they are subject to third-party infringement. The Company does not consider any particular patents, licenses, franchises or concessions to be material to the business of the Service Merchandising segment. Water Products Products & Markets McKesson Water Products Company is primarily engaged in the processing and sale of bottled drinking water delivered to homes and businesses under its Sparkletts, Alhambra, and Crystal brands in California, Arizona, Nevada and Texas. It also sells and leases bottled water dispensers and coolers in the foregoing states, and sells packaged water through retail stores in approximately 40 states. In addition, under the Aqua-Vend trademark, it sells processed water through vending machines in California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Louisiana and Florida. Due to the nature of this business, it does not generally (a) require significant amounts of inventory to meet the needs of its customers or to meet its own internal supply requirements, (b) provide significant extended payment terms to its customers or (c) otherwise have significant working capital requirements. Competition Water Products faces significant competition in both price and service in all aspects of its business from several large local and regional competitors. 4 Intellectual Property The principal trademarks and service marks of the Water Products segment are: SPARKLETTS(R), ALHAMBRA(R), CRYSTAL(TM), CRYSTAL-FRESH(R) and AQUA- VEND(R). McKesson Water Products Company also owns other registered and unregistered trademarks and service marks used by the Water Products segment. All of the principal trademarks and service marks are registered in the United States, in addition to certain other jurisdictions. The United States federal registrations of these trademarks have terms of ten or twenty years, depending on date of registration, and are subject to unlimited renewals. The Company believes this business has taken all necessary steps to preserve the registration and duration of its trademarks and service marks, although no assurance can be given that it will be able to successfully enforce or protect its rights thereunder in the event that they are subject to third-party infringement. The Company does not consider any particular patents, licenses, franchises or concessions to be material to the business of the Water Products segment. Armor All Products & Markets The Company is engaged through its majority-owned Armor All Products Corporation subsidiary ("Armor All") in developing and marketing a line of branded appearance enhancement and protection products primarily for the do-it- yourself automotive and home care markets. Its principal brand, Armor All(R), has the leading position in the domestic automotive protectant market. A second major brand, Rain Dance(R), is a strong competitor in the market for automotive waxes, polishes and washes. Armor All's principal product, Armor All(R) Protectant, is designed to protect and beautify natural and synthetic polymer materials and is used primarily on certain automobile surfaces. Armor All's products are marketed in the U.S. and Canada by its direct sales force and through independent manufacturers' representatives and distributors. International sales are effected through foreign sales offices, foreign distributors and a marketing and distribution alliance with S.C. Johnson. Primary customers include mass merchandise retailers, auto supply stores, warehouse clubs, hardware stores and other retail outlets. Armor All in recent years has extended its product lines by introducing Armor All(R) Tire Foam(R) Protectant, Armor All(R) QuickSilver(TM) Wheel Cleaner, Armor All(R) Protectant Low-Gloss Natural Finish, Armor All(R) Spot & Wash(TM) Concentrate, Armor All(R) Leather Care Protectant, Armor All(R) Armor Plate(R) Paint Protectant and Armor All(R) FlashBlack(TM) Tire Shine. In January 1994, Armor All entered the home care market with the acquisition of the E-Z Deck Wash(R) and E-Z D(TM) brands. The E-Z Deck Wash product is designed to clean and restore wood surfaces such as patio decks, siding and fences. Subsequent to the acquisition, Armor All expanded its home care line by introducing several products under the Armor All brand name: Deck Protector, WaterProofing Sealer, Vinyl Siding Wash, Painted Wood Wash and three Pressure Washing Formulas. Products which comprise a majority of Armor All's sales volume are manufactured under full service packaging agreements whereby contract packagers generally own the raw materials and finished goods in their possession and transfer title to Armor All just prior to shipment to Armor All's customers. Armor All's use of contract packagers permits it to avoid significant investments in inventory, machinery and other fixed assets. Armor All's relationships with its three most important packagers have lasted for 8, 11 and 23 years, respectively. Subject to contractual arrangements, Armor All periodically reevaluates its selection of packagers, and believes that other acceptable packagers are readily available. Competition In the domestic protectant market, Armor All Protectant has two principal competitors, STP(R) Son-of-a-Gun(R) Protectant and Turtle Wax(R) Formula 2001(R). Armor All(R) Tire Foam(TM) Protectant has four principal competitors and Armor All(R) QuickSilver(TM) Wheel Cleaner has three principal competitors. Armor All brand cleaner competes against many specialty automotive cleaner products. Armor All brand wash 5 products and all of the Rain Dance and Rally brand products compete with numerous wash, wax and polish products in the automotive aftermarket. The No.7 brand products compete with many wash and specialty cleaning products. Competition in international markets varies by country. In the domestic home care products market, the E-Z Deck Wash brand product has two principal competitors, Thompson's(R) Deck Wash and Olympic(R) Deck Cleaner, and several secondary competitors. Armor All Deck Protector and Armor All WaterProofing Sealer each compete against products marketed under the Thompson's, Olympic and Behr brand names. Armor All Vinyl Siding Wash and Armor All Painted Wood Wash compete against multi-surface products marketed under the Thompson's and Olympic brand names. The Armor All Power Washing Formulas compete against products marketed by the manufacturers of power washer machines; Coleman and Karcher are the principal brand names. Intellectual Property The principal trademarks and service marks of the Armor All segment are: ARMOR ALL(R), VIKING DESIGN(R) and related designs, RAIN DANCE(R), RALLY(R), NO. 7(R), TIRE FOAM(R), QUICKSILVER(TM), SPOT & WASH(R), ARMOR PLATE(R), FLASHBLACK(R), EXPRESS WASH(TM), WAX PAX(TM), E-Z DECK WASH(R) and E-Z D(TM). Armor All also owns other registered and unregistered trademarks and service marks. All of the principal trademarks and service marks are registered in the United States and Canada. Such marks are also registered in certain other foreign jurisdictions. The United States federal registrations of these trademarks and service marks have ten or twenty year terms, depending on date of registration; the Canadian registrations have fifteen year terms. All are subject to unlimited renewals. The Company believes it has taken all necessary steps to preserve the registration and duration of its trademarks and service marks, although no assurance can be given that it will be able to successfully enforce or protect its rights thereunder in the event that they are subject to third-party infringement. Armor All owns a patent on ARMOR ALL Armor Plate Paint Protectant, RAIN DANCE wax, and Armor All Spot & Wash concentrate, and has applied for patents on ARMOR ALL QuickSilver Wheel Cleaner and ARMOR ALL Vinyl Siding Wash. In addition, Armor All owns a patent on an E-Z DECK WASH product and has other domestic and foreign E-Z DECK WASH patents pending. Armor All has the exclusive right to use a supplier's patented formula to produce ARMOR ALL Deck Protector. The Company believes that Armor All's trademarks are more important assets than its patents, and that the termination or invalidity of its patents would not have a material adverse effect on Armor All. Ownership At March 31, 1996, the Company owned 55% of the outstanding common shares of Armor All. In fiscal 1994, the Company sold $180 million of subordinated debentures that are exchangeable, at the option of the holders, into 6.9 million additional shares of Armor All common stock owned by the Company, subject to the Company's right to pay cash equal to the market price of the stock in lieu of making the exchange. If all of the debentures were exchanged, the Company's' ownership interest in Armor All would be reduced to approximately 22%. In such event, the Company may not be able to exercise continued control over the business operations of Armor All and may not be able to obtain the financial benefits it would otherwise have received if it had maintained its controlling interest in Armor All. (2) Other Information About the Business Customers -- Sales to the Company's largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for 11% of consolidated revenues in fiscal 1996 and 10% in fiscal 1995; however, no material part of the business is dependent upon a single or a very few customers, the loss of any one of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company or any of its business segments. 6 Environmental Legislation -- The Company sold its chemical distribution operations in fiscal 1987. In connection with the disposition of those operations, the Company retained responsibility for certain environmental obligations and has entered into agreements with the EPA and certain states pursuant to which it is or may be required to conduct environmental assessments and cleanups at several closed sites. These matters are described further in Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" below. Other than any capital expenditures which may be required in connection with those matters, the Company does not anticipate making substantial capital expenditures for environmental control facilities or to comply with environmental laws and regulations in the future. The amount of capital expenditures expended by the Company for environmental compliance was not material in fiscal 1996 and is not expected to be material in the next fiscal year. Employees -- At March 31, 1996, the Company employed approximately 11,300 persons. Backlog Orders -- Each of the Company's segments seeks to promptly fill or otherwise satisfy the orders of each such segment's customers. Accordingly, none of the Company's segments has a significant backlog of customer orders. (d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales Information as to foreign operations is included in Financial Note 15, "Segments of Business" on pages 37 and 38 of the Appendix to the Company's 1996 Proxy Statement (the "Appendix"), which notes are incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Because of the nature of the Company's principal businesses, plant, warehousing, office and other facilities are operated in widely dispersed locations. The warehouses are typically owned or leased on a long-term basis. The Company considers its operating properties to be in satisfactory condition and adequate to meet its needs for the next several years. Information as to material lease commitments is included in Financial Note 10, "Lease Obligations" on pages 29 and 30 of the Appendix, which note is incorporated herein by reference. Due to the numerous warehousing, office and other facilities utilized by the Company in its business operations, the Company does not believe that any one of its facilities is materially important to the Company. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In addition to commitments and obligations in the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various claims, other pending and possible legal actions for product liability and other damages, investigations relating to governmental laws and regulations, and other matters arising out of the normal conduct of the Company's business. The Company currently is a defendant in six civil actions filed since late 1993 by retail pharmacies. The first proceeding, Feitelberg v. Abbott Laboratories, is pending in the Superior Court for the State of California (County of San Francisco) and is now referred to as Coordinated Proceeding Special Title, Pharmaceutical Cases I, II and III. The second proceeding, HJB, Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories (now known as MDL 997), is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The third proceeding, K-S Pharmacies, Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories, is pending in the Circuit Court of Wisconsin for Dane County. A fourth action, Adams v. Abbott Laboratories, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. A fifth action, Salk Drug Co. v. Abbott Laboratories, was filed in 7 the District Court of Minnesota, Fourth Judicial District. Finally, an action was filed this past year in California Superior Court for San Francisco County, Horton v. Abbott Laboratories, et. al.. These actions were brought as purported class actions on behalf of all other similarly-situated retail pharmacies. A class has been certified in Feitelberg and in MDL 997. There are numerous other defendants in these actions including pharmaceutical manufacturers, a pharmaceutical mail order firm, and several other wholesale distributors. These cases allege, in essence, that the defendants have unlawfully conspired together and agreed to fix the prices of brand name pharmaceuticals sold to plaintiffs at artificially high, discriminatory, and non-competitive levels, all in violation of various state and federal antitrust laws. Some of the plaintiffs specifically contend that the wholesaler and manufacturer defendants are engaged in a conspiracy to fix prices charged to plaintiffs and members of the purported classes (independent and chain retail drug stores) above the price levels charged to mail order pharmacies, HMOs and other institutional buyers. The California cases allege, among other things, violation of California antitrust law. In MDL 997, plaintiffs allege that defendants' actions constitute price fixing in violation of the Sherman Act. In the K-S Pharmacies, Inc. and Salk Drug complaints, plaintiffs allege violation of Wisconsin and Minnesota antitrust laws, respectively. In each of the complaints, except Adams, plaintiffs seek certification as a class and remedies in the form of injunctive relief, unquantified monetary damages (trebled as provided by law), and attorneys fees and costs. In addition, the California cases seek restitution. In MDL 997, the court recently granted the motion for summary judgment filed by the Company and other wholesaler defendants. In K-S Pharmacies, the court dismissed the Company and other wholesaler defendants without prejudice and is considering whether the dismissal will be with prejudice. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the allegations made against it and intends to vigorously defend itself in the remaining cases. In addition, the Company has entered into a judgment sharing agreement with certain pharmaceutical manufacturer defendants, which provides generally that the Company (together with the other wholesale distributor defendants) will be held harmless by such pharmaceutical manufacturer defendants and will be indemnified against the costs of adverse judgments, if any, against the wholesaler and manufacturers in these or similar actions, in excess of $1 million in the aggregate per wholesale distributor defendant. Primarily as a result of the operation of its former chemical businesses, which were divested in fiscal 1987, the Company is involved in various matters pursuant to environmental laws and regulations: The Company has received claims and demands from governmental agencies relating to investigative and remedial actions purportedly required to address environmental conditions alleged to exist at five sites where the Company (or entities acquired by the Company) formerly conducted operations; and the Company, by administrative order or otherwise, has agreed to take certain actions at those sites, including soil and groundwater remediation. The current estimate (determined by the Company's environmental staff, in consultation with outside environmental specialists and counsel) of the upper limit of the Company's range of reasonably possible remediation costs for these five sites is approximately $24 million, net of amounts which third parties have agreed to pay in settlement or which the Company expects, based either on agreements or nonrefundable contributions which are ongoing, to be contributed by third parties. The $24 million is expected to be paid out between April 1996 and March 2028 and is included in the Company's recorded environmental reserves at March 31, 1996. In addition, the Company has been been designated as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (the "Superfund" law), for environmental assessment and cleanup costs as the result of the Company's alleged disposal of hazardous substances at 27 Superfund sites. With respect to each of these Superfund sites, numerous other PRPs have similarly been designated and, while the current state of the law potentially imposes joint and several liability upon PRPs, as a practical matter costs of these sites are typically shared with other PRPs. The Company's estimated liability at these 27 Superfund sites is approximately $3 million, net of amounts which third parties are expected or have agreed to contribute where the Company believes it is probable that the third parties will fulfill their agreements to pay. Settlements and costs paid by the Company in Superfund 8 matters to date have not been significant. The $3 million is included in the Company's recorded environmental reserves at March 31, 1996, along with an additional $1 million for miscellaneous other matters. The potential costs to the Company related to environmental matters is uncertain due to such factors as: the unknown magnitude of possible pollution and cleanup costs; the complexity and evolving nature of governmental laws and regulations and their interpretations; the timing, varying costs and effectiveness of alternative cleanup technologies; the determination of the Company's liability in proportion to other PRPs; and the extent, if any, to which such costs are recoverable from insurance or other parties. Management believes, based on current knowledge and the advise of the Company's counsel, that the outcome of the litigation and governmental proceeding discussed in this Item 3 will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the three months ended March 31, 1996. 9 Executive Officers of the Registrant The following table sets forth information concerning the executive officers of the Registrant as of June 3, 1996.
