Exhibit 99.1 McKesson Reports Fiscal 2002 Third Quarter Results SAN FRANCISCO--(BW HealthWire)--Jan. 22, 2002--McKesson Corporation (NYSE:MCK) today reported that earnings per diluted share before special items increased 58% in its third quarter ended December 31, 2001, on a 20% increase in revenues, to $9.6 billion, excluding sales to customers' warehouses. McKesson had net income before special items of $111.7 million or 38 cents per diluted share in the quarter, compared to net income before special items and discontinued operations of $69.3 million and 24 cents in the third quarter a year ago. As reported under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for the three months ended December 31, 2001, McKesson had revenues of $13.2 billion, including warehouse sales, and net earnings of $108.8 million including the $2.9 million after-tax impact of special items. Including special items and the results of discontinued operations, in the third quarter a year ago McKesson had revenues of $11.0 billion, including warehouse sales, and net earnings of $1.7 million. McKesson considers pro forma net income and operating profit, which excludes special items and discontinued operations, to be the most relevant benchmarks of the company's core operating performance. Unless otherwise noted, all subsequent financial results described in this release exclude special items. McKesson's earnings improvement was driven by continued strong revenue growth and operating margin expansion in its Supply Solutions segment as well as a significant increase in the operating profit of its Information Solutions segment. Supply Solutions segment operating profit increased 32%, to $223.9 million from $169.7 million in the third quarter a year ago. The increase resulted from revenue growth of 21%, combined with operating margin expansion of 21 basis points, to 2.39% from 2.18% in the third quarter a year ago. Information Solutions segment operating profit increased to $15.1 million from $1.7 million in the third quarter a year ago, reflecting an increase in operating margin to 6.14% from 0.76%. Information Solutions segment revenues increased 10%, led by a 34% increase in software revenues. One-time software bookings were up more than 100% from a year ago. "We continue to achieve operating margin improvement and strong revenue growth in our Supply Solutions segment," said John H. Hammergren, president and chief executive officer. "The Supply Solutions segment has had six consecutive quarters of year-over-year operating margin expansion. A series of initiatives to improve processes in our U.S. pharmaceutical business are continuing to drive increases in the operating margin. We also have been able to exceed our target of revenue growth in line with industry growth by attracting new business that had not previously been in the wholesale distribution channel." "Our Information Solutions segment had its fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth. Our backlog is up significantly, driven by a large outsourcing contract with the National Health Service of England and Wales. The strong customer interest in our Horizon Clinicals offering following its introduction in July is now materializing in new software agreements and a substantially larger pipeline of active sales opportunities compared to a year ago. This activity should drive future growth in Information Solutions." Highlights of the Third Quarter Page 1 Supply Solutions -- Revenues were up 21%, to $9.4 billion, versus the third quarter a year ago. U.S. pharmaceutical distribution and service revenues were up 23% in the quarter to $7.9 billion, international revenues increased 10%, to $758 million, and medical-surgical revenues were up 6% to $756 million. The increase in U.S. pharmaceutical revenues resulted primarily from the impact of the implementation of several large distribution agreements which took effect in prior quarters, including revenues from new business that previously had not been part of the wholesale distribution channel. U.S. pharmaceutical revenues also included an extra selling day in the third quarter this year. -- Operating profit was up 32% and operating margin increased 21 basis points over the third quarter a year ago. Operating profit in McKesson's Supply Solutions segment was $223.9 million in the third quarter. The operating margin expanded to 2.39% from 2.18% in the third quarter a year ago. Continued operating efficiencies, improved product sourcing activities and discontinuance of goodwill amortization were the major factors producing the margin expansion. Information Solutions -- Revenues were up 10%, to $246.1 million, compared to the third quarter a year ago. Software revenues in the third quarter were $37.8 million, a 34% increase from the third quarter a year ago. One-time software bookings in the third quarter were $53 million, an increase of more than 100% from the third quarter last year. The increase in software bookings reflects greater demand for the company's clinical applications, with more than 60% of the bookings from the Horizon Clinicals offering. Third quarter sales activities included large agreements with Presbyterian Healthcare Services, Atlantic Health Systems, Catholic Healthcare Partners and Memorial Health University Medical Center. Services and outsourcing revenues in the third quarter were $185.2 million, a 6% increase compared to the same quarter last year. Hardware revenue was $23.1 million. -- Operating margin increased to 6.14% from 0.76% in the third quarter a year ago. The operating margin expansion resulted from increases in software revenue, management of operating expenses and discontinuance of goodwill amortization. -- Segment backlog was almost $2 billion at December 31, 2001, versus $1.4 billion on a comparable basis a year ago. The increase in backlog resulted primarily from a recently signed $480 million outsourcing contract to provide a standardized, fully automated human resources and payroll system for the National Health Service of England and Wales. McKesson has revised the method by which it reports backlog to eliminate the impact of annual maintenance billings. Additional Operating Statement Data -- Corporate expenses increased to $37.5 million from $27.0 million in the third quarter a year ago. The increase in the third quarter compared to a year ago reflects expenses for the sale of receivables associated with working capital Page 2 requirements, higher benefit costs, and McKesson's share of losses of HealthNexis. Late in the quarter, HealthNexis merged with the Global Health Exchange, which reduced McKesson's percentage of ownership in the combined organization. -- Net income was reduced by $2.9 million, after tax, for special items. The special items were primarily associated with a litigation settlement involving a 1996 acquisition of a pharmaceutical distributor. -- McKesson's cash flow from operations for the first nine months was $81 million. At December 31, 2001, McKesson's cash and marketable securities totaled $290 million, total debt was $1.2 billion, stockholders' equity was $3.8 billion and the company's net debt-to-capital ratio was 19%. Return on average committed capital was 20.3% compared to 17.8% a year ago. McKesson's effective tax rate for the year was reduced to 36% as a result of tax planning initiatives, and this resulted in a current-quarter tax rate of 35.1%. Earnings per diluted share were based on 299.2 million average diluted shares. The company had approximately 287 million shares outstanding. During the third quarter, McKesson repurchased approximately 808,000 shares of common stock as part of the company's previously announced $250 million share repurchase program.
