Financial Performance: (2010, Q2)
McKesson Corp. has reported that revenues for the first quarter ended June 30, were $26.7 billion compared to $26.7 billion a year ago.
In a release on July 28, the company noted that first-quarter earnings per diluted share were $1.06 compared to 83 cents per diluted share a year ago.
"McKesson had excellent first quarter results, driven by strong

Marc Owen, Executive Vice President, Corporate Strategy and Business Development, joined McKesson in 2001
performance across the entire company. Every business in both our Distribution and Technology segments met or exceeded our earnings expectations, giving us positive momentum for the remainder of our fiscal year," said John H. Hammergren, chairman and chief executive officer.
In the first quarter, McKesson revenues were flat, primarily impacted by the Fiscal 2009 loss of certain customers in the U.S. pharmaceutical distribution business. Earnings per diluted share was up 28 percent versus the prior year, aided by strong cost controls across the company. This led to significant operating margin expansion in both segments, resulting in 12 percent growth in Distribution Solutions operating profit and 56 percent growth in Technology Solutions operating profit.
The company continues to execute a balanced capital deployment strategy designed to create additional shareholder value. During the first quarter, McKesson repurchased $275 million of common stock, leaving $555 million remaining on its current share repurchase authorization. For the quarter, McKesson had cash flow from operations of $907 million and ended the quarter with cash of $2.6 billion.
12
In the first quarter, the company's 401(k) plan, the Profit Sharing Investment Plan (PSIP), resolved an outstanding legal matter. The PSIP will use a portion of the settlement proceeds from this matter in place of the company's Fiscal 2010 plan contribution. Compared to Fiscal 2009, this resulted in a reduction in the company's expense of four cents per diluted share in the first quarter, and is expected to result in an expense reduction of approximately 15 cents per diluted share for the full year.
"I am very pleased with the company's first quarter earnings, which are the result of focused execution and aggressive cost management in both segments of our business. In addition, strong cash flow generation in the first quarter allowed us to get an early start on our share repurchase program. Based on our positive momentum, we are raising our previous outlook and now expect that McKesson should earn between $4.15 and $4.30 per diluted share for the fiscal year ending March31, 2010," Hammergren said.
Distribution Solutions revenues were flat in the first quarter. U.S. pharmaceutical distribution revenues were also flat for the quarter, reflecting market growth rates and the loss of certain customers in Fiscal 2009. In addition,
13
there was a shift of revenues to direct store delivery from sales to customers' warehouses.
Canadian revenues, on a constant currency basis, grew 10 percent for the quarter due to market growth rates and expanded distribution agreements. Including an unfavorable currency impact of 15 percent, Canadian revenues decreased 5 percent for the quarter. Medical-Surgical distribution revenues were up 9 percent for the quarter, aided by acquisitions made in late Fiscal 2009 and an increase in demand from the H1N1 virus. In the first quarter, Distribution Solutions gross profit of $954 million improved 2 percent compared to the first quarter a year ago.
The increase in gross profit for the quarter was due primarily to the impact of our agreements with branded pharmaceutical manufacturers and an improved mix of higher-margin products and services, including sales of One Stop Generics, which were up 19 percent in the quarter, partially offset by lower sell margin in our U.S. pharmaceutical business.
Distribution Solutions operating profit of $430 million was up 12 percent for the quarter and operating margin was 1.66 percent compared to 1.48 percent a year ago.
14
"Distribution Solutions had a very strong performance in the first quarter. Margin improvements were attributable to several factors, including solid levels of compensation from our agreements with branded pharmaceutical manufacturers, above-market growth for our One Stop Generics program, increased demand related to the H1N1 virus and, most importantly, a more disciplined approach to expense management across all of the businesses in this segment," said Hammergren.
In Technology Solutions, revenues were flat for the quarter. Services revenues grew 4 percent, reflecting the steady nature of our offering. Software revenues were down 6 percent and hardware revenues were down 43 percent reflecting the impact of lower bookings in the latter part of Fiscal 2009.

Technology Solutions operating expenses were down 9 percent in the quarter due to continued rigorous expense management. Operating profit was $103 million, and the operating margin was 13.86 percent compared to 8.87 percent for the first quarter a year ago.
"Technology Solutions has a diverse portfolio of solutions and a solid base of stable and recurring revenues. Coupled with on-going expense management initiatives, this resulted in higher quarterly operating profit," said Hammergren. "With the products and services we offering Technology Solutions, we are well-positioned to extend our leadership in healthcare information technology while driving customer and company success," Hammergren added.

SWOT Analysis:
35
StrengthsMcKesson is a long established company in the healthcare industry. The company has a reputation built over a period of more than 175 years in providing of scrutiny goods and supplies.McKesson is a leading provider of pharmaceuticals, analysis instrument supplies and aid aggregation technologies. The company’s leading position in the pharmaceutical distribution and aid and dealership with large companies enhances its strength.
McKesson provides services and products to healthcare providers and payers. From pharmaceuticals and supplies to worldly scrutiny workflow solutions, their offerings help customers reduce costs, streamline processes and, most importantly, improve patient treatment and drug safety.
McKesson focuses on delivering the vital medicines, supplies and aggregation technologies that enable the healthcare industry to provide patients better, safer care. The value added services provided by the company at low rates is one of its strengths.
36
McKesson is the distributor of one-third of the medicines used every day. The company provides its services to more than 40,000 U.S. pharmacy stores and locations, from Wal-Mart to the Department of Veterans Affairs to community pharmacies and hospitals. The large customer base is definitely one of its biggest strengths.McKesson employs information technology systems that decimate the requirement for paper prescriptions and patient records.
37
WeaknessesBeing a company in the healthcare and medicine business, the company faces several legal tangles and restrictions related to patents, animal testing etc and have to be very careful in designing its strategies.
Healthcare is a high risk industry as it is related to critical patient conditions and involves life-or-death situations.
One of the weaknesses of McKesson is the lack of proper healthcare information grouping, processing and services that they provide for their clients. The increasing integration of technology in the form of use of computers and internet and information systems is critical to success of healthcare services.
Since there is a growing demand for effective products and services which McKesson is not strong enough to deliver, their aim of leading the pharmaceutical business is at risk.
OpportunitiesThe acquisitions and partnerships with different healthcare service providers, being considered by the company is a good opportunity that they must avail.
The politics or environmental concerns do not directly affect the growth of company so they
38
can take many new steps and follow new strategies without any high risks factors being involved.
OpportunitiesThe acquisitions and partnerships with different healthcare service providers, being considered by the company is a good opportunity that they must avail.
The politics or environmental concerns do not directly affect the growth of company so they can take many new steps and follow new strategies without any high risks factors being involved.
ThreatsIn the healthcare industry the competition is cutthroat and can result in lesser market share and profits of the company. It is a very high risk business and the threat of legal restrictions and tangles is always there.The McKesson being a healthcare company is less adaptable to changes but it is crucial if they want to achieve their objectives.
The presence of HBOC as a separate health related services and good provider threatens the objective of McKesson to become the leader in the industry. This is the case since HBOC is offering a goods and services that are not in the creation line of McKesson. Even if HBOC
39
challenges exclusive digit aspect of McKesson’s Business, the fact that they are able to lead the industry in a specific services offering implies that McKesson will not be able lead the industry.
