FINANCIAL NOTES (unaudited) 1. Interim Financial Statements In the opinion of McKesson HBOC, Inc. (the "Company"), these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position as of December 31, 1999, the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and its cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full years. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto included in the Company's 1999 Consolidated Financial Statements which have previously been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures On November 2, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Abaton.com, a provider of internet-based clinical applications for use by physician practices, pharmacy benefit managers, benefit payors, laboratories and pharmacies, for approximately $95 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $8 million of employee stock incentives. Goodwill and other intangibles related to the acquisition of $101 million are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to seven years. A charge of $1.5 million was recorded in the third quarter to write off the portion of the purchase price of Abaton.com allocated to in-process technology for which technological feasibility had not been established as of the acquisition date and for which there were no alternative uses. The Company received an independent valuation which utilized a discounted cash flow methodology by product line to assist in valuing in-process and existing technologies as of the acquisition date. On January 11, 2000, the Company announced it had signed a definitive agreement to sell its wholly-owned subsidiary, McKesson Water Products Company, (the "Water Products Business"), to Groupe DANONE for $1.1 billion in cash. The sale is contingent upon regulatory approval and is expected to be completed in the first calendar quarter of 2000. The net assets and results of operations of the Water Products Business have been reclassified as a discontinued operation. Prior year amounts have been restated. The net assets of discontinued operations at December 31, 1999 and March 31, 1999 were as follows: December 31, March 31, 1999 1999 ------------ --------- (in millions) Total assets........................................ $281.9 $243.7 Total liabilities................................... (53.8) (64.3) ------ ------ Net assets.......................................... $228.1 $179.4 ====== ====== Assets of discontinued operations consist primarily of receivables, inventory, property, plant and equipment and goodwill of the Water Products Business. Liabilities of discontinued operations consist primarily of accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of the Water Products Business. 7 McKESSON HBOC, INC. FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued) (unaudited) The results of discontinued operations were as follows: Nine Months Ended December 31, ----------------- 1999 1998 -------- -------- (in millions) Revenues............................................... $ 307.6 $ 267.2 ======== ======== Income from discontinued operations before income taxes................................................. $ 39.5 $ 38.0 Income taxes........................................... 16.1 14.6 -------- -------- Income from discontinued operations.................... $ 23.4 $ 23.4 ======== ======== 3. Marketable Securities The December 31, 1999 marketable securities balance includes $19.8 million held in trust as exchange property for the Company's $32.4 million principal amount of 4.5% exchangeable subordinated debentures which remain outstanding. 4. Convertible Preferred Securities In February 1997, a wholly-owned subsidiary trust of the Company issued 4 million shares of preferred securities to the public and 123,720 common securities to the Company, which are convertible at the holder's option into McKesson HBOC common stock. The proceeds of such issuances were invested by the trust in $206,186,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 5% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures due in 2027 (the "Debentures"). The Debentures represent the sole assets of the trust. The Debentures mature on June 1, 2027, bear interest at the rate of 5%, payable quarterly, and are redeemable by the Company beginning in March 2000 at 103.5% of the principal amount thereof. Holders of the securities are entitled to cumulative cash distributions at an annual rate of 5% of the liquidation amount of $50 per security. Each preferred security is convertible at the rate of 1.3418 shares of McKesson HBOC common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. If not converted, the preferred securities will be redeemed upon repayment of the Debentures, and are callable by the Company at 103.5% of the liquidation amount beginning in March 2000. The Company has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, distributions and other payments due on the preferred securities (the "Guarantee"). The Guarantee, when taken together with the Company's obligations under the Debentures and in the indenture pursuant to which the Debentures were issued and the Company's obligations under the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust governing the subsidiary trust, provides a full and unconditional guarantee of amounts due on the preferred securities. The Debentures and related trust investment in the Debentures have been eliminated in consolidation and the preferred securities are reflected as outstanding in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 8 McKESSON HBOC, INC. FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued) (unaudited) 5. Charges in Continuing Operations On January 12, 1999, McKesson Corporation ("McKesson") completed the acquisition of HBO & Company ("HBOC"), a leading health care information technology company, by exchanging 177 million shares of McKesson common stock for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of HBOC. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests. In April 1999, the Company discovered improper accounting practices at HBOC (see Financial Note 11). In July, the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors completed an investigation into such matters (the "Investigation"), which resulted in the restatement of the Company's historical consolidated financial statements related to HBOC (pre-merger) in fiscal 1999, 1998, and 1997. In fiscal 2000, the Company incurred costs in connection with the investigation and the resulting restatement of the historical consolidated financial statements. In the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded charges totaling $2.4 million and $17.4 million, respectively, for accounting and legal fees and other costs incurred in connection with the restatement of prior years' financial results and $0.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively, in acquisition-related costs. In addition, the Company recorded charges of $32.3 million for severance and other costs associated with former employees in the nine months ended December 31, 1999. In the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1999, the Health Care Supply Management segment incurred charges for receivable reserves and asset impairments totaling $30.3 million related primarily to a prior year implementation of a contract system. This charge was partially offset by a $5.7 million net reduction in restructuring reserves for prior year plans (see Financial Note 6). Also, during the quarter and nine months, the Health Care Information Technology segment recorded gains totaling $263.2 million on the sale of equity investments and exchange of WebMD shares for Healtheon/WebMD shares, that was recognized upon the completion of the merger of the two companies in November 1999. These gains were offset, in part, by a charge of $68.5 million for a change in estimate of requirements for accounts receivable and customer reserves and $9.8 million of expense related to the donation of Healtheon/WebMD shares to the McKesson HBOC Foundation. In addition, $2.6 million of prior year reserves for acquisition-related activities were reversed due to a change in requirements. Prior year results include charges associated with acquisitions in the Health Care Supply Management and Health Care Information Technology segments of $26.5 million and $33.8 million, respectively, in the quarter and $100.2 million and $41.4 million, respectively, in the nine months ended December 31, 1998. These charges include transaction costs, employee benefit change in control provisions, employee severance, restructuring, integration and system installation costs associated with acquisition-related activities. The nine months ended December 31, 1998 also includes charges of $4.9 million for the terminated merger with AmeriSource Corporation. 6. Restructuring and Asset Impairments In fiscal 1999, the Company identified six pharmaceutical distribution centers and several smaller medical/surgical distribution centers in the Health Care Supply Management segment for closure, of which one pharmaceutical distribution center was shut down by fiscal year end. During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, management reassessed these plans, resulting in the decision to retain one of the six pharmaceutical distribution centers identified for closure in fiscal 1999 and to reduce the number of medical/surgical distribution center closures. Also during the quarter, the Company announced and completed the closure of one additional pharmaceutical distribution center. These changes resulted in the net reduction of $5.7 million in restructuring reserves. During the nine months ended December 31, 1999, the Company completed the closures of three pharmaceutical distribution centers, including the additional distribution center mentioned above. This resulted 9 McKESSON HBOC, INC. FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued) (unaudited) in the termination of approximately 100 employees and the payment of $1.0 million in severance. In addition, the realignment of the sales organization was completed and certain back office functions were eliminated resulting in the termination of approximately 90 employees and the payment of $2.2 million in severance. Also, the Company completed the closures of two medical/surgical distribution centers and paid $0.8 million in severance to approximately 90 employees who were terminated in fiscal 1999 and 2000 related to the elimination of duplicate functions. The Company plans to continue the closure activities associated with the pharmaceutical distribution centers and other medical/surgical distribution centers throughout fiscal 2001. At December 31, 1999, assets associated with the restructuring plans, primarily distribution center buildings and improvements, totaled $10.4 million, net of asset valuation reserves. In the Health Care Information Technology segment, approximately 550 employees were terminated in fiscal 1999; $9.9 million of severance was paid in the nine month period ended December 31, 1999, to approximately 330 of the employees who were terminated in fiscal 1999. Agreements for certain employees of the Health Care Information Technology segment provide for payments through fiscal 2002. A reconciliation of the reserves for the restructuring plans from March 31, 1999 to December 31, 1999, by operating segment follows: Health Care Health Care Information Supply Management Technology --------------------------------- --------------------- Asset Other Exit- Other Exit- Severance Impairments Related Severance Related Total --------- ----------- ----------- --------- ----------- ------ (in millions) Balance, March 31, 1999................... $10.6 $ 35.0 $19.0 $12.2 $ 0.6 $ 77.4 Adjustments.............

The reserves for other exit-related items consist of costs for preparing facilities for disposal, lease costs and property taxes required subsequent to termination of operations. 7. Gain on Equity Investments As a result of the November 11, 1999 merger between Healtheon Corporation and WebMD, Inc., the Company received 4.5 million shares of Healtheon/WebMD common stock and 8.4 million warrants to purchase Healtheon/WebMD common stock in exchange for its shares and warrants of WebMD. The Company recorded the Healtheon/WebMD shares received at the November 11, 1999 closing market price and the warrants at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation method. In December 1999, the Company sold 2.0 million Healtheon/WebMD common shares and donated 250,000 Healtheon/WebMD common shares to the McKesson HBOC Foundation. The fair value of the Company's remaining investment in Healtheon/WebMD common stock, which has been classified as a trading security under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," totaled $86.9 million at December 31, 1999, based on a closing price of $37 1/2. The Company sold its remaining Healtheon/WebMD common shares in January 2000. The fair value of the Company's warrants to purchase Healtheon/WebMD common stock, which have been classified as available-for-sale under SFAS 115 and included in other assets, was $75.5 million at December 31, 1999. The warrants have exercise prices ranging from $11.14 to $50.86 and 10 McKESSON HBOC, INC. FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued) (unaudited) expire on September 1, 2004. As a result of the above transactions, during the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company recognized gains related to the investment in Healtheon/WebMD of $242.9 million, of which $74.5 million was realized. In addition, other equity investments were sold during the quarter ended December 31, 1999, which resulted in a gain of $20.3 million, and an expense of $9.8 million was recorded in selling, distribution, research and development and administrative expenses to reflect the donation of the Healtheon/WebMD shares to the McKesson HBOC Foundation. 8. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in stockholders' equity from non-owner sources. As such, it includes net income and amounts arising from unrecognized pension costs, unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities classified as available for sale which are recorded directly to stockholders' equity and foreign currency translations. Total comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended December 31, December 31, -------------------- ------------------ 1999 1998 1999 1998 --------- --------- -------- -------- (in millions) Net income........................ $ 166.8 $ 50.7 $ 296.2 $ 146.1 Unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities............

New Accounting Pronouncements The Company adopted Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" as of April, 1, 1998. The impact of the adoption was not material to the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure these instruments at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133 until the Company's fiscal year 2002. The Company is currently evaluating what impact, if any, SFAS No. 133 may have on its consolidated financial statements. 11. Litigation In its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 and its Form 10-Q filed November 15, 1999, the Company reported on numerous legal proceedings arising out of the Company's announcement on April 28, 1999 regarding accounting improprieties at HBOC. On November 2, 1999, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California issued an order consolidating fifty-three class actions alleging violations of the federal securities laws into one action entitled In re McKesson HBOC, Inc. Securities Litigation (the "Consolidated Action"). By order dated December 23, 1999, the court appointed the New York State Common Retirement Fund as Lead Plaintiff and designated two law firms as Lead Counsel. The court's order of December 23, 1999, also consolidated an individual action into the Consolidated Action. By stipulation, Lead Plaintiff has until February 25, 2000, to file a consolidated complaint, after which the Company will be required to respond. In addition, an action entitled Chang v. McKesson HBOC, Inc. et al., (No. C-99-5075 (CAL)), an action alleging violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, was filed in the Northern District and has been coordinated with the Consolidated Action. 12 McKESSON HBOC, INC. FINANCIAL NOTES--(Continued) (unaudited) In American Healthcare Fund II, L.P., et al, v. HBO & Company and McKesson HBOC, Inc. (No. 99-CV-1762) (Col. St. Ct.), the Company has filed a motion to dismiss and the plaintiffs have filed a motion for partial summary judgment, both of which are currently pending before the court. On December 9, 1999, an action entitled Adler v. McKesson HBOC, Inc. et al. (Ga. Sup. Ct. No. 99-C-7980-3) ("Adler") was filed in Georgia Superior Court for Gwinnett County. Plaintiff in Adler, a purported HBOC shareholder, asserts a claim for common law fraud arising out of McKesson HBOC's need to restate its financial statements. On February 8, 1999, the Company answered the complaint in Adler, filed a motion to stay the case in favor of the Consolidated Action, and filed a motion to dismiss or in the alternative to require that HBOC be added as a party. In Kelly v. McKesson HBOC, Inc., et al. (No. 99C-09-265 WCC) (Del. Supr. Ct.), the Company has filed a motion to dismiss and plaintiffs have filed a motion for partial summary judgment, both of which are pending before the court. In two other Delaware actions, Carroll v. McKesson HBOC, Inc., et al. (Del. Chancery Ct. No. 17454) and Kelly v. McKesson HBOC, Inc. et al. (Del. Chancery Ct. No. 17282 NC), plaintiffs have filed notices of dismissal without prejudice. As previously reported, the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California and the San Francisco District Office of the SEC have also commenced investigations in connection with the matters relating to the restatement of previously reported amounts for HBOC described in Financial Note 5. These investigations are ongoing. The Company does not believe it is feasible to predict or determine the outcome or resolution of these proceedings, or to estimate the amounts of, or potential range of loss with respect to these proceedings. In addition, the timing of the final resolution of these proceedings is uncertain. The range of possible resolutions of these proceedings could include judgments against the Company or settlements, that could require substantial payments by the Company which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Except for the matters discussed above, there have not been any significant changes with respect to the litigation matters described in Financial Note 19 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 and in Financial Note 10 to the Form 10-Q filed on November 15, 1999. 13 McKESSON HBOC, INC. FINANCIAL NOTES--(Concluded) (unaudited) 12. Segment Information The Company's chief operating decision makers who determine the allocation of resources and evaluate the financial performance of the operating segments are the Co-Chief Executive Officers. In evaluating financial performance, management focuses on operating profit as a segment's measure of profit or loss. Operating profit is income before interest expense, corporate interest income, taxes on income and allocation of certain corporate revenues and expenses. During the third quarter, the Company added the new e-Health business segment following its acquisition of Abaton.com (see Financial Note 2). There have been no other changes in the segments reported or the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss from that which was reported in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, except for the reclassification of the Water Products segment as a discontinued operation (see Financial Note 2). Financial information relating to the Company's continuing operations reportable segments for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, and as of December 31, 1999 and March 31, 1999, is presented below: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended December 31, December 31, -------------------- -------------------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 --------- --------- --------- --------- (in millions) Revenues Health Care Supply Management.... $ 9,594.1 $ 7,897.8 $26,497.5 $20,555.5 Health Care Information Technology...................... 292.8 380.8 921.9 1,135.5 e-Health......................... 0.2 -- 0.2 -- Corporate........................ 3.8 8.9 9.5 29.0 --------- --------- --------- --------- Total.......................... $ 9,890.9 $ 8,287.5 $27,429.1 $21,720.0 ========= ========= ========= ========= Operating profit Health Care Supply Management.... $ 112.7 $ 103.8 $ 365.1 $ 241.8 Health Care Information Technology...................... 213.8 13.3 299.8 73.9 e-Health.........................

(2) Interest expense is shown net of corporate interest income. (3) Includes charges of $30.3 million for receivable reserves and asset impairments related primarily to a prior year implementation of a contract system, partially offset by a $5.7 million net reduction in prior year restructuring reserves. (4) Includes net gains totaling $256.0 million primarily on the sale of equity investments and a gain on the exchange of WebMD shares for Healtheon/WebMD shares that was recognized upon the completion of the merger of the two companies in November 1999, offset, in part, by a charge of $68.5 million for a change in estimate of requirements for accounts receivable and customer reserves. (5) Includes a charge of $1.5 million for the write-off of purchased in- process technology associated with the November 1999 acquisition of Abaton.com. (6) Includes accounting and legal fees and other costs totaling $2.4 million and $17.4 million incurred in the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1999 in connection with the restatement of prior year financial results. Also includes $0.7 million and $3.6 million incurred in the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1999 in acquisition-related costs. In addition, the nine months ended December 31, 1999 includes $32.3 million in severance and other costs associated with former employees. (7) Includes charges of $26.5 million and $100.2 million in the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1998 associated with acquisitions including transaction costs, employee benefit change in control provisions, restructuring, integration and system installation costs associated with acquisition-related activities. The nine months ended December 31, 1998 also includes charges of $4.9 million for the terminated merger transaction with AmeriSource Corporation. (8) Includes charges associated with acquisitions of $33.8 million and $41.4 million in the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1998 for transaction costs, severance and asset impairments. 15 McKESSON HBOC, INC. FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Continued) Factors Affecting Forward Looking Statements In addition to historical information, management's discussion and analysis includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward looking words such as "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "may", "will", "should", "seeks", "approximately", "intends", "plans", "estimates", or "anticipates", or the negative of these words or other comparable terminology. The discussion of financial trends, strategy, plans or intentions may also include forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These include, but are not limited to the factors discussed under "Year 2000" and "Additional Factors That May Affect Future Results" of this "Financial Review." These and other risks and uncertainties are described herein or in the Company's other public documents. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Overview of Results Net income for the third quarter increased to $166.8 million, $0.58 per diluted share, from $50.7 million, $0.18 per diluted share, in the prior year. For the nine month period, net income increased to $296.2 million, $1.04 per diluted share, compared to $146.1 million, $0.52 per diluted share, in the prior year. The results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1999 include after-tax special items that increased net income by $100.1 million and $69.2 million, respectively. The special items consist predominantly of a net after- tax gain of $159.1 million from the exchange, sale and donation of certain Health Care Information Technology equity investments offset, in part, by charges in the Company's operating business segments and at Corporate. These charges totaled $59.0 million and $89.9 million after-tax in the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1999 and relate primarily to charges for receivable-related reserves, asset impairments, severance and other costs associated with former employees and professional fees associated with the restatement of prior year financial results. The prior year's results include after-tax charges of $41.0 million in the quarter and $96.6 million in the nine months associated with completed and terminated acquisitions including transaction costs, employee benefit change in control provisions, employee severance, restructuring, integration and system installation costs. The effective income tax rate applicable to continuing operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 differed from the effective income tax rate for the comparable prior year period primarily due to certain nondeductible transaction expenses included in the prior year charges noted above. Health Care Supply Management The Health Care Supply Management segment includes the operations of the Company's U.S. pharmaceutical distribution and services businesses, its international pharmaceutical operations (Canada and Mexico), and its medical/surgical distribution and services business. This segment accounted for 97% of consolidated revenues for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1999. 16 McKESSON HBOC, INC. FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Continued) Pharmaceutical Distribution & Services revenues increased by 22% to $8.9 billion in the quarter and 29% to $24.5 billion in the nine months, reflecting growth in the U.S. direct delivery business of 30% in the quarter and 28% in nine months, an increase in U.S. sales to customers' warehouses of 6% and 38%, respectively, and an increase in international revenues of 25% and 16%, respectively. Internal growth in the U.S. direct delivery business was 30% and 27% in the quarter and nine months, respectively. Medical/Surgical Distribution & Services revenues increased 12% to $704.6 million in the quarter and 24% to $2,032.3 million in the nine month period. Fiscal 2000 revenues included $111.5 million in the quarter and $310.1 million in the nine months from Red Line HealthCare which was acquired in a purchase transaction in November 1998. The internal growth rate in the Medical/Surgical Distribution & Services business was 4% in the quarter and 9% in the nine months. Health Care Supply Management operating profit increased $8.9 million to $112.7 million in the quarter and by $123.3 million to $365.1 million in the nine months. The quarter ended December 31, 1999 included $30.3 million in charges for receivable reserves and asset impairments related primarily to a prior year implementation of a contract system, partially offset by a $5.7 million reduction in prior year restructuring reserves. In addition, the quarter included $0.3 million in additional amortization expense resulting from a reduction in the goodwill life related to the prior year acquisition of MedManagement to 20 years from 40 years, effective October 1, 1999. The prior year's results included charges of $26.5 million in the quarter and $100.2 million in the nine month period, associated with acquisitions including transaction costs, employee benefit change in control provisions and restructuring, integration and system installation costs. The nine months ended December 31, 1998 also included charges of $4.9 million for the terminated merger transaction with AmeriSource Corporation. Excluding the effect of such charges, operating profit for the Health Care Supply Management segment increased by 5% and 12% in the third quarter and nine months, respectively. Operating profit as a percent of revenues (calculated excluding sales to customers' warehouses and the previously discussed charges) declined 40 basis points to 1.89% in the third quarter and 24 basis points to 1.96% in the nine months, compared to the respective prior year margins. The period-to- period comparisons were negatively affected by receivable-related charges, the continued competitive pressures that affected both new and renewed customer agreements and a shift in the pharmaceutical distribution mix to faster- growing customer segments. The receivable-related charges in the third quarter ended December 31, 1999 decreased the operating margin by 17 basis points. Health Care Information Technology The Health Care Information Technology segment includes revenues from software sales, services business and hardware sales. This segment accounted for 3% of consolidated revenues for the quarter and nine month periods ended December 31, 1999. Management believes that the overall decline in revenues of 23% in the quarter and 19% in the nine month period reflects the continued general, industry-wide slowdown in sales of health care information technology software and hardware products resulting from delays in purchasing decisions that are attributed both to Year 2000 issues and general market conditions. Also contributing to the decline in the nine months ended December 31, 1999, was the disruption to this business caused by the completed Audit Committee Investigation (see Financial Note 5) and Health Care Information Technology senior management changes made during the current year. Operating profit increased by $200.5 million to $213.8 million in the quarter and by $225.9 million to $299.8 million in the nine months. The current year results included net gains totaling $256.0 million primarily from the sales and donation of equity investments and a gain on the exchange of the Company's WebMD shares 17 McKESSON HBOC, INC. FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Continued) for Healtheon/WebMD shares that was recognized upon the completion of the merger of the two companies in November 1999. The gains were offset, in part, by a charge of $68.5 million for a change in estimate of requirements for receivable and customer reserves associated with resolving customer satisfaction issues relating to certain product installations. The operating profit margin, excluding the impact of the items discussed above, declined to 8.98% in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 compared to 12.37% for the prior year quarter, and increased to 12.18% in the nine month period ended December 31, 1999 compared to 10.15% in the prior year comparable period. The decline in the quarter is attributed to lower sales of software and services, and increased expenses to enhance customer support. The favorable comparison in the nine month period reflects a high level of bad debt provisions and other expense items in the prior year. Management is currently conducting an assessment of the entire Health Care Information Technology product portfolio, which it expects to complete in the fourth quarter ending March 31, 2000. Following the completion of this assessment, management expects to streamline its product offerings to eliminate redundancies, focus on current and anticipated customer needs and implement new technologies. As a result, the Company expects to record additional charges associated with impaired assets and related expenses in the fourth quarter. Management expects an increased level of contract negotiations and sales activity as the effects of Year 2000 issues diminish. However, management does not expect a meaningful rebound in software sales until late in the 2000 calendar year. Revenue may be augmented by the recognition of certain revenues previously reversed as a result of the Audit Committee Investigation and resulting restatement (see Financial Note 5). e-Health The e-Health segment became a reportable segment in the current quarter following the completion of the Company's acquisition of Abaton.com in November 1999 (see Financial Note 2). Revenues for the e-Health segment were $0.2 million for the quarter. The e-Health segment incurred an operating loss of $6.4 million in the quarter, which included a $1.5 million charge for the write-off of purchased in-process technology associated with the acquisition of Abaton.com. Other Corporate expense included pre-tax charges of $3.1 million and $53.3 million in the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1999, respectively, consisting of professional fees incurred in connection with the previously discussed Audit Committee Investigation and resulting restatement of prior year financial statements, severance benefits and other costs associated with former employees and other acquisition-related costs. Corporate expense also reflects higher expenses for certain employee benefits (required to maintain a desired level of benefits to employees despite a decline in the stock price), affiliation costs incurred in the nine months, and transaction costs associated with the Company's committed receivables sales facility. Discontinued Operations Income from discontinued operations was $23.4 million in the current year and prior year nine month periods respectively. These amounts represent the results from the Company's Water Products Business which was reclassified to discontinued operations in the current quarter as a result of the signing of a definitive agreement to sell the Water Products Business to Group DANONE for $1.1 billion in cash (see Financial Note 2). Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash and marketable securities available for sale were $400.2 million at December 31, 1999 and $261.9 million at March 31, 1999. The December 31, 1999 marketable securities balance includes $19.8 million that is currently restricted and held in trust as exchange property in connection with the Company's outstanding exchangeable debentures. 18 McKESSON HBOC, INC. FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Continued) Interest expense, net of corporate interest income, increased to $27.1 million in the third quarter and to $81.5 million in the nine month period compared to $23.9 million and $63.8 million in the prior year respective periods. The increases from the prior year reflect increased average working capital to support strong Health Care Supply Management growth, cash used for acquisitions and lower cash flows from the Health Care Information Technology segment. Stockholders' equity was $3.2 billion at December 31, 1999, and the net debt-to-capital ratio was 22% at both December 31, 1999 and March 31, 1999. The net debt-to-capital ratio for both periods was computed by reducing the outstanding debt amount by the cash and marketable securities balances. In October 1999, Duff & Phelps, an agency that rates the Company's debt, lowered the Company's senior debt rating to BBB+ from A-, and reaffirmed the Company's commercial paper rating of D-2. In December 1999, Standard & Poors lowered the Company's senior debt rating to BBB from BBB+ and reaffirmed the commercial paper rating of A-2. The Company's ratings from Moodys of Baa1 for senior debt and P-2 for commercial paper remain unchanged from those disclosed in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company's ratings from Standard & Poors and Moodys are on negative credit outlook and credit watch, respectively. Common shares outstanding increased to 281.7 million at December 31, 1999 from 280.6 million at March 31, 1999 due primarily to shares issued under employee benefit plans. Average diluted shares declined to 288.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 from 289.7 million in the comparable prior year period due to a lower effect of dilutive securities as a result of the stock price decline (see Financial Note 9). YEAR 2000 The "Year 2000 Issue" refers to the fact that some computer hardware, software and embedded firmware are designed to read and store dates using only the last two digits of the year. Such applications may fail or cause errors in the Year 2000. The Company incurred costs of approximately $16 million in the nine months ended December 31, 1999, and $14 million in fiscal 1999 for a total project cost of less than $40 million, associated with modifications to the Company's existing systems to make them Year 2000 ready, related testing and outside consulting. As of February 14, 2000, the Company has not incurred any significant business disruption as a result of the Year 2000 Issue. However, while no such occurrence has developed, problems due to the Year 2000 Issue, including those experienced by the Company's customers, suppliers and other third parties on which the Company relies, could arise in the future. The Company does not expect to incur significant additional costs related to the Year 2000 Issue; however, should such problems arise, the Company could incur additional costs. The Health Care Information Technology segment may experience an increase in warranty claims relating to (i) malfunctions in Company products which have not been upgraded, either because the Company has discontinued support for such products and has therefore not provided the necessary enhancement or because the customer has not installed an enhancement made available by the Company or (ii) malfunctions resulting from Year 2000 problems in third-party hardware or software used in connection with the operation of Company software products. Although such warranty claims are generally subject to contractual liability limitations, the Company is not able to accurately assess or estimate the possible impact of such claims. Management believes that the costs of work by customers related to Year 2000 issues have caused some Health Care Information Technology customers and prospective customers to defer current projects or prospective decisions regarding the acquisition of new software. The Company will continue to monitor its own Year 2000 compliance and that of its customers, supplies and other third parties on which its relies. 19 McKESSON HBOC, INC. FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Continued) ADDITIONAL FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS The following additional factors may affect the Company's future results: Adverse judgments regarding the restatement of the Company's historical financial statements may cause it to incur material losses. Subsequent to the Company's April 28, 1999 restatement announcement, and as of December 31, 1999, fifty-nine class action lawsuits, three derivative actions, and seven individual actions have been filed against the Company, and certain current or former officers and directors of the Company in federal and state courts (see Financial Note 11, "Litigation"). In addition, the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California and the San Francisco District Office of the SEC have also commenced investigations in connection with the matters relating to the restatement of previously reported amounts. The Company does not believe it is feasible to predict or determine the outcome or resolution of these proceedings, or to estimate the amount of, or potential range of, loss with respect to these proceedings. In addition, the timing of the final resolution of these proceedings is uncertain. The range of possible resolutions of these proceedings could include judgments against the Company or settlements that could require substantial payments by the Company which could cause it to incur material losses. The restatement of the Company's earnings may negatively impact the management of the Company's business. The effect of the pending litigation and government investigations relating to the previously announced financial restatement could present challenges in attracting and retaining quality employees and managers. Such difficulties could impair the Company's ability to manage the Company's business. The Company's business could be hindered if it is unable to complete and integrate acquisitions successfully. An element of the Company's business is to pursue strategic acquisitions that either expand or complement its business. The Company routinely reviews such potential acquisition opportunities and has historically engaged in numerous acquisitions. Integration of acquisitions, including the merger that created McKesson HBOC, Inc., involves a number of special risks. Such risks include: . the diversion of management's attention to the assimilation of the operations of businesses the Company has acquired; . difficulties in the integration of operations and systems and the realization of potential operating synergies; . difficulties in the integration of any acquired companies operating in a different sector of the health care industry; . delays or difficulties in opening and operating larger distribution centers in a larger and more complex distribution network; . the assimilation and retention of the personnel of the acquired companies; . challenges in retaining the customers of the combined businesses; and . potential adverse effects on operating results. 20 McKESSON HBOC, INC. FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Continued) If the Company is unable to successfully complete and integrate strategic acquisitions in a timely manner, its business and the Company's growth strategies could be negatively affected. The Company's issuance of equity to finance acquisitions could have a potential dilutive effect on its stock. The Company anticipates that it will finance acquisitions, at least partly by incurring debt or by the issuance of additional securities. The use of equity financing, rather than debt, for acquisitions would dilute the ownership of the Company's then current stockholders. Changes in the United States healthcare environment could have a material negative impact on the Company's revenues. The Company's products and services are intended to function within the structure of the healthcare financing and reimbursement system currently being used in the United States. In recent years, the healthcare industry has changed significantly in an effort to reduce costs. These changes include increased use of managed care, cuts in Medicare, consolidation of pharmaceutical and medical/surgical supply distributors, and the development of large, sophisticated purchasing groups. The Company expects the healthcare industry to continue to change significantly in the future. Some of these changes, such as a reduction in governmental support of healthcare services or adverse changes in legislation or regulations governing the delivery or pricing of healthcare services or mandated benefits, may cause healthcare industry participants to greatly reduce the amount of the Company's products and services they purchase or the price they are willing to pay for the Company's products and services. Changes in pharmaceutical manufacturers' pricing or distribution policies could also significantly reduce the Company's income. Due to the diverse range of health care supply management and health care information technology products and services the Company offers, such changes may adversely impact the Company while not affecting some of the Company's competitors that offer a more narrow range of products and services. Substantial defaults in payment or a material reduction in purchases of the Company's products by some large customers could have a significant negative impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. The Company's recent strategy has been to build relationships with large customers that are achieving rapid growth. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, sales to the Company's ten largest customers accounted for approximately 45% of the Company's sales. A growing portion of the Company's increased sales in fiscal 2000 has been to a limited number of these large customers. Consequently, the Company's sales and credit concentration have significantly increased. Accordingly, any defaults in payment or a material reduction in purchases of the Company's products by these large customers could have a significant negative impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. The ability of the Health Care Information Technology business to attract and retain customers due to challenges in integrating software products, technological advances and Year 2000 concerns may significantly reduce the Company's revenues. The Company's Health Care Information Technology business delivers enterprise-wide patient care, clinical, financial, managed care, payor and strategic management software solutions, as well as networking technologies, electronic commerce, outsourcing and other services to health care organizations throughout the United States and certain foreign countries. Challenges in integrating software products used by the Health Care Information Technology business with those of its customers could impair the Company's ability to attract and retain customers and may reduce its revenues or increase its expenses. 21 McKESSON HBOC, INC. FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Continued) Future advances in the health care information systems industry could lead to new technologies, products or services that are competitive with the products and services offered by the Health Care Information Technology business. Such technological advances could also lower the cost of such products and services or otherwise result in competitive pricing pressure. The success of the Health Care Information Technology business will depend, in part, on its ability to be responsive to technological developments and challenges, including pricing pressures and changing business models. In addition, to remain competitive in the evolving health care information systems marketplace, the Health Care Information Technology business must develop new products on a timely basis. The failure to develop competitive products and to introduce new products on a timely basis could curtail the ability of the Health Care Information Technology business to attract and retain customers and thereby significantly reduce the Company's net income. Finally, management believes that the costs of work by customers related to Year 2000 Issues have caused some Health Care Information Technology customers and prospective customers to defer current projects or prospective decisions regarding the acquisition of new software. These Year 2000 concerns by existing and potential new customers may adversely affect sales of the Company's products. Proprietary technology protections may not be adequate and proprietary rights may infringe on rights of third parties. The Company relies on a combination of trade secret, patent, copyright and trademark laws, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions and technical measures to protect its proprietary rights in its products. There can be no assurance that these protections will be adequate or that the Company's competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to the Company's technology. Although the Company believes that its products and other proprietary rights do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, from time to time third parties have asserted infringement claims against the Company and there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company in the future. Additionally, the Company may find it necessary to initiate litigation to protect the Company's trade secrets, to enforce its patent, copyright and trademark rights, and to determine the scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others. These types of litigation can be costly and time consuming. These litigation expenses or any damage payments resulting from adverse determinations of third party claims could be significant and could result in material losses to the Company. Potential product liability claims arising from Health Care Information Technology business products could result in material losses to the Company. Some products of the Health Care Information Technology business provide information for use by health care providers in providing health care to patients. Although the Company has not experienced any material claims to date, any failure of the Company's Health Care Information Technology business products to provide accurate and timely information could result in claims against it. The Company maintains insurance to protect against claims associated with the use of such products, but there can be no assurance that the Company's insurance coverage would adequately cover any claims asserted against it. If its insurance coverage is not adequate, the Company may be required to pay the damages which could result in material losses to it. System errors and warranties in the Health Care Information Technology business's products could cause unforeseen liabilities. The Company's Health Care Information Technology business's systems are very complex. As with complex systems offered by others, the Company's systems may contain errors, especially when first introduced. The Health Care Information Technology business's systems are intended to provide information for health care 22 McKESSON HBOC, INC. FINANCIAL REVIEW--(Concluded) providers in providing health care to patients. Therefore, users of its products have a greater sensitivity to system errors than the market for software products generally. Failure of a client's system to perform in accordance with its documentation could constitute a breach of warranty and could require the Company to incur additional expense in order to make the system comply with the documentation. If such failure is not timely remedied, it could constitute a material breach under a contract allowing the client to cancel the contract. Item 3.
