2Adjusted results in this earnings release are non-GAAP financial measures; refer to the accompanying definitions and reconciliation schedules

First quarter revenues were $105.4 billion, an increase of 8% from a year ago, driven by growth in the North American Pharmaceutical and Oncology & Multispecialty segments due to increased prescription volumes and distribution of specialty products, partially offset by lower contributions from branded pharmaceuticals.

First quarter earnings per diluted share was $5.15 compared to $6.25 a year ago, a decrease of $1.10, primarily due to a redemption value adjustment of $293 million related to redeemable non-controlling interests for the Medical-Surgical Solutions segment, partially offset by organic growth across the enterprise and the prior year pre-tax increase to the provision for bad debts of $189 million within the North American Pharmaceutical segment related to the Rite Aid bankruptcy.

First quarter Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share was $9.93 compared to $8.26 a year ago, an increase of 20%, driven by strong operational growth, led by the North American Pharmaceutical and Oncology & Multispecialty segments, and a lower share count.

During the first three months of the fiscal year, McKesson used cash from operations of $220 million, and invested $152 million in capital expenditures, resulting in negative Free Cash Flow of $372 million.

Additionally, McKesson returned $2.6 billion of cash to shareholders, which included $2.5 billion of common stock repurchases and $102 million of dividend payments.

Business Highlights

•McKesson remains committed to a disciplined capital allocation framework, prioritizing investments in strategic growth pillars while returning excess capital to shareholders through its robust share repurchase and dividend programs.

◦In the quarter, McKesson completed $2.5 billion share repurchases, including $2.25 billion under the accelerated share repurchase program.

◦On July 21, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a 15% increase to its quarterly dividend from $0.82 per share to $0.94 per share, marking the tenth consecutive year of increases.

•McKesson continued to advance its planned separation of Medical-Surgical Solutions segment.

◦On June 1, 2026, McKesson sold an approximately 13% minority interest in its Medical-Surgical Solutions business to Apollo Funds for $1.25 billion.

◦On June 9, 2026, McKesson established a secured Term Loan B facility of $2.25 billion in support of the planned separation of Medical-Surgical Solutions segment.

◦On August 5, 2026, McKesson unveiled Wellverse as the name of the future standalone Medical-Surgical Solutions business, reflecting continued progress toward the planned separation.

•Effective August 1, 2026, Thomas L. Rodgers retired from his position as Executive Vice President, Chief Strategy and Business Development Officer. Ramesh Srinivasan assumed the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer.

North American Pharmaceutical Segment

•Revenues were $86.8 billion, an increase of 5%, driven by increased prescription transaction volumes, including higher volumes from specialty products, partially offset by lower contributions from branded pharmaceuticals.

•Segment Operating Profit was $903 million. Adjusted Segment Operating Profit was $894 million, an increase of 19%, driven by growth in the distribution of specialty products to health systems and strategic accounts, and the timing of new product launches.

Oncology & Multispecialty Segment

•Revenues were $14.2 billion, an increase of 33%, driven by growth in provider solutions and specialty distribution, including contributions from acquisitions.

•Segment Operating Profit was $325 million. Adjusted Segment Operating Profit was $405 million, an increase of 41%, driven by growth in provider solutions and specialty distribution, including contributions from acquisitions.

Prescription Technology Solutions Segment

•Revenues were $1.6 billion, an increase of 9%, driven by increased prescription volumes in third-party logistics and access solutions.

•Segment Operating Profit was $226 million. Adjusted Segment Operating Profit was $303 million, an increase of 13%, driven by higher demand for access solutions.

Medical-Surgical Solutions Segment

•Revenues were $2.8 billion, an increase of 4%, driven by growth across alternate sites of care, led by higher volumes of specialty pharmaceuticals.

•Segment Operating Profit was $122 million. Adjusted Segment Operating Profit was $195 million, a decrease of 20%, driven by product mix and one-time administrative expenses, partially offset by contributions from the extended care channel.

Fiscal 2027 Outlook

McKesson does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis as the company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort. McKesson cannot reasonably forecast LIFO inventory-related adjustments, certain litigation loss and gain contingencies, transaction related expenses and adjustments, restructuring, impairment and related charges, and other adjustments, which are difficult to predict and estimate. These items are generally 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.

McKesson is raising its fiscal 2027 Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share guidance to $44.20 to $45.00 from the previous range of $43.80 to $44.60.

“The raise in full year Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share outlook reflects strong first quarter performance and sustainable operational momentum. Our confidence in the business is supported by durability across the enterprise and our commitment to disciplined capital allocation,” said Kenny Cheung, executive vice president and chief financial officer.

Additional modeling considerations will be provided in the earnings call presentation.

McKESSON CORPORATION

FINANCIAL STATEMENT NOTES

1.Transaction-related expenses and adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2026 include pre-tax charges of $68 million ($50 million after-tax) within Medical-Surgical Solutions and Corporate Expenses, net, related to our planned separation of the Medical-Surgical Solutions business. These charges are included under "total operating expenses" in the reconciliation of McKesson's GAAP operating results to adjusted results (Non-GAAP) provided in Schedule 2 of the accompanying financial statement tables.

2.Transaction-related expenses and adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2026 include a charge of $293 million (pre-tax and after-tax), within Medical-Surgical Solutions, related to the remeasurement to redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests arising from the acquisition by Apollo Funds of an approximately 13% minority ownership interest in the Company’s Medical‑Surgical Solutions segment. This charge was recorded in “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (GAAP) provided in Schedule 1 of the accompanying financial statement tables.

3.Transaction-related expenses and adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2026 includes a charge of $81 million (pre-tax and after-tax), within Oncology & Multispecialty, related to the remeasurement of redeemable noncontrolling interests to redemption value. This charge was recorded in “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (GAAP) provided in Schedule 1 of the accompanying financial statement tables.

4.Restructuring, impairment, and related charges, net for the three months ended June 30, 2026 includes pre-tax charges of $136 million ($100 million after-tax), primarily within Prescription Technology Solutions, Corporate Expenses, net, and Medical-Surgical Solutions. The three months ended June 30, 2025 includes pre-tax charges of $47 million ($35 million after-tax), primarily within Corporate expenses, net and Medical-Surgical Solutions. These charges are included under "total operating expenses" in the reconciliation of McKesson's GAAP operating results to adjusted results (Non-GAAP) provided in Schedule 2 of the accompanying financial statement tables.

5.Other adjustments, net for the three months ended June 30, 2025 includes a pre-tax provision for bad debts of $189 million ($140 million after-tax), within North American Pharmaceutical related to the bankruptcy of our customer, Rite Aid Corporation (including certain of its subsidiaries, "Rite Aid"). Management believes this charge is not reflective of allowances recorded in the normal course of business operations and are related to Rite Aid's recently concluded bankruptcy proceedings, and is therefore excluded from the determination of our adjusted results (Non-GAAP). This charge represents the remaining trade accounts receivable balances due from Rite Aid prior to its bankruptcy petition filing and is included under "total operating expenses" in the reconciliation of McKesson's GAAP operating results to adjusted results (Non-GAAP) provided in Schedule 2 of the accompanying financial statement tables.

McKESSON CORPORATION

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's financial results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), McKesson Corporation (the "Company" or "we") also presents the following Non-GAAP measures in this press release.

•Adjusted Gross Profit (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Gross Profit as GAAP gross profit, excluding transaction-related expenses and adjustments, last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, and other adjustments.

•Adjusted Operating Expenses (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Operating Expenses as GAAP total operating expenses, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, restructuring, impairment, and related charges, claims and litigation charges, and other adjustments.

•Adjusted Other Income (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Other Income as GAAP other income (expense), net, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, and other adjustments.

•Adjusted Interest Expense (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Interest Expense as GAAP interest expense, excluding transaction-related expenses and adjustments related to net interest expense incurred from cross-currency swaps used to hedge the changes in the fair value of the Company's foreign currency-denominated notes resulting from changes in benchmark interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The foreign currency-denominated notes were previously designated as non-derivative net investment hedges of portions of the Company's net investments in its now-divested European businesses against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar.

•Adjusted Income Tax Expense (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Income Tax Expense as GAAP income tax benefit (expense), excluding the income tax effects of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, LIFO inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, restructuring, impairment, and related charges, claims and litigation charges, and other adjustments. Income tax effects are calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, “Income Taxes,” which is the same accounting principle used by the Company when presenting its GAAP financial results.

•Adjusted Earnings (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Earnings as GAAP income attributable to McKesson, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, LIFO inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, restructuring, impairment, and related charges, claims and litigation charges, other adjustments, as well as the related income tax effects for each of these items, as applicable.

•Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share as GAAP earnings per diluted common share attributable to McKesson, excluding per share impacts of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, LIFO inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, restructuring, impairment, and related charges, claims and litigation charges, other adjustments, as well as the related income tax effects for each of these items, as applicable, divided by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.

•Adjusted Segment Operating Profit (Non-GAAP) and Adjusted Segment Operating Profit Margin (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Segment Operating Profit as GAAP segment operating profit, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, LIFO inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, restructuring, impairment, and related charges, and other adjustments. We define Adjusted Segment Operating Profit Margin as Adjusted Segment Operating Profit (Non-GAAP) divided by GAAP segment revenues.

•Adjusted Corporate Expenses (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Corporate Expenses as GAAP corporate expenses, net, excluding transaction-related expenses and adjustments, restructuring, impairment, and related charges, claims and litigation charges, and other adjustments.

2 of 3

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

•Adjusted Operating Profit (Non-GAAP): We define Adjusted Operating Profit as GAAP income before interest expense and income taxes, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, transaction-related expenses and adjustments, LIFO inventory-related adjustments, gains from antitrust legal settlements, restructuring, impairment, and related charges, claims and litigation charges, and other adjustments.

The following provides further details regarding the adjustments made to our GAAP financial results to arrive at our Non-GAAP measures as defined above:

Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles - Amortization charges for intangible assets directly related to business combinations and the formation of joint ventures.

Transaction-related expenses and adjustments - Transaction, integration, and other expenses that are directly related to business combinations, the formation of joint ventures, divestitures, and other transaction-related costs including initial public offering costs. Examples include transaction closing costs, professional service fees, legal fees, severance charges, retention payments and employee relocation expenses, facility or other exit-related expenses, certain fair value adjustments including deferred revenues, contingent consideration and inventory, recoveries of acquisition-related expenses or post-closing expenses, net interest expense impact of hedging foreign currency-denominated notes, bridge loan fees and gains or losses on business combinations, redeemable noncontrolling interests adjustments, and divestitures of businesses that do not qualify as discontinued operations.

LIFO inventory-related adjustments - LIFO inventory-related non-cash charges or credit adjustments.

Gains from antitrust legal settlements - Net cash proceeds representing the Company’s share of antitrust legal settlements.

Restructuring, impairment, and related charges - Restructuring charges that are incurred for programs in which we change our operations, the scope of a business undertaken by our business units, or the manner in which that business is conducted as well as long-lived asset impairments. Such charges may include employee severance, retention bonuses, facility closure or consolidation costs, lease or contract termination costs, asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and amortization, and other related expenses. The restructuring programs may be implemented due to the sale or discontinuation of a product line, reorganization or management structure changes, headcount rationalization, realignment of operations or products, integration of acquired businesses, and/or company-wide cost saving initiatives. The amount and/or frequency of these restructuring charges are not part of our underlying business, which include normal levels of reinvestment in the business. Any credit adjustments due to subsequent changes in estimates are also excluded from adjusted results.

Claims and litigation charges - Adjustments to certain of the Company’s reserves, including those related to estimated probable settlements for its controlled substance monitoring and reporting, and opioid-related claims, as well as any applicable income items or credit adjustments due to subsequent changes in estimates. This does not include our legal fees to defend claims, which are expensed as incurred. This also may include charges or credits for general non-operational claims not directly related to our ongoing business.

Other adjustments - The Company evaluates the nature and significance of transactions qualitatively and quantitatively on an individual basis and may include them in the determination of our adjusted results from time to time. While not all-inclusive, other adjustments may include: other asset impairments; gains or losses from debt extinguishment; and other similar substantive and/or infrequent items as deemed appropriate.

The Company evaluates the aforementioned Non-GAAP measures on a periodic basis and updates the definitions from time to time. The evaluation considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the Company’s presentation of Non-GAAP adjusted results. A reconciliation of McKesson’s GAAP financial results to Non-GAAP financial results is provided in Schedules 2 and 3 of the financial statement tables included with this press release.

•Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP): We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less payments for property, plant, and equipment and capitalized software expenditures, as disclosed in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. A reconciliation of McKesson’s GAAP financial results to Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP) is provided in Schedule 6 of the financial statement tables included with this press release.

3 of 3

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

The Company believes the presentation of Non-GAAP measures provides useful supplemental information to investors with regard to its operating performance, as well as assists with the comparison of its past financial performance to the Company’s future financial results. Moreover, the Company believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP measures assists investors’ ability to compare its financial results to those of other companies in the same industry. However, the Company's Non-GAAP measures used in the press tables may be defined and calculated differently by other companies in the same industry.

The Company internally uses both GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its own financial planning and reporting processes. Management utilizes Non-GAAP financial measures when allocating resources, deploying capital, as well as assessing business performance, and determining employee incentive compensation. The Company conducts its businesses internationally in local currencies, including Canadian dollars, Euro, and British pound sterling. As a result, the comparability of our results reported in U.S. dollars can be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe free cash flow is important to management and useful to investors as a supplemental measure as it indicates the cash flow available for working capital needs, re-investment opportunities, strategic acquisitions, share repurchases, dividend payments, or other strategic uses of cash. Nonetheless, Non-GAAP adjusted results and related Non-GAAP measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures as determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP.
