McKesson Investor Day to Highlight Progress Against Growth Strategies and Long-Term Financial Targets

McKesson Corporation (NYSE: MCK) today will host an Investor Day beginning at 1:00 p.m. ET, where executive leadership will provide an overview of the company’s progress towards its goal of delivering sustainable growth and details around the company’s long-term financial outlook.

The Investor Day event will showcase how McKesson will deliver long-term growth:

  • Highlighting significant progress in executing against its priorities by focusing on people and culture, sustainable core growth, streamlining the portfolio, and expanding its oncology and biopharma services ecosystems. The success is evidenced by its strong financial performance and outstanding operational excellence.
  • Reaffirming its commitment to the growth pillars of oncology and biopharma services. The company’s differentiated set of assets and capabilities uniquely positions the company to win in these growing markets and improve the health outcomes of patients.
  • Providing a financial overview and long-term outlook that highlights the focus on shareholder value creation and supports a compelling investment thesis.
  • Increasing fiscal 2022 Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share guidance range to $22.35 to $22.95, from the previous range of $21.95 to $22.55, to reflect an additional $0.40 related to the U.S. government’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution program.
  • Announcing a new $4.0 billion increase to the share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors.

“We are excited to share our vision and strategy with the investment community. As we focus on the next chapter of growth and innovation, McKesson will leverage the breadth and depth of its core growth to further develop and build differentiated oncology and biopharma services ecosystems,” said Brian Tyler, chief executive officer. “We remain committed to delivering superior shareholder returns through sustainable earnings growth and a disciplined approach to capital deployment.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

This press release includes a forecast of Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share, which is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking Non-GAAP measure to the equivalent forward-looking GAAP measure without unreasonable effort, because the company does not forecast GAAP earnings per share and cannot reliably forecast LIFO inventory-related adjustments, certain litigation loss and gain contingencies, restructuring, impairment and related charges, and other adjustments, which are difficult to predict and estimate. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond the company’s control, and as such, any associated estimate and its impact on GAAP performance could vary materially. Refer to investor.mckesson.com and the company’s slide presentation noted above for definitions and explanations of the Company’s Non-GAAP financial measures.
