Beginning July 1, 2026,
certain Walgreens volume that was being serviced by Cencora, Inc. (the “Company” or “Cencora”) separate from
the prime vendor agreement began moving outside the Company. The prime vendor agreement, which remains unchanged, constitutes the vast
majority of the Company's business with Walgreens. This was fully contemplated in Cencora’s August 5, 2026 commentary on fourth
quarter expectations for its U.S. Healthcare Solutions segment.
Cencora is reaffirming its
previously issued adjusted diluted EPS guidance range of $17.75 to $17.95 for fiscal year 2026.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain of the statements
contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities
Exchange Act”). Words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,”
“could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “on
track,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,”
“seek,” “should,” “strive,” “sustain,” “synergy,” “target,” “will,”
“would” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does
not mean the statement is not forward-looking. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to
uncertainty and changes in circumstances and speak only as of the date hereof. These statements are not guarantees of future performance
and are based on assumptions and estimates that could prove incorrect or could cause actual results to vary materially from those indicated.
A more detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated
is included (i) in the “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis” sections in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 and elsewhere in that report and (ii) in other
reports filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise
any forward-looking statements, except as required by the federal securities laws.
