A Breakdown of McKesson

The pharmacy operations supply chain contains many

companies that may be difficult to understand due to their size,

complexity, and dynamic M&A nature. The spirit of RXinsider’s

“Company Teardown” reports is to educate pharmacy

professionals, pharmacists, and pharmacy students on our

industry’s largest companies by simplifying, organizing, and

presenting publicly available information in a consistent and

organized format. Future Company Teardown reports will focus

on other complex companies including Cardinal Health, BD,

Cencora, Omnicell, RedSail, and others.

This McKesson Teardown report is independent and has not been

funded, reviewed, or edited by McKesson employees or company

representatives. All information in the following report is publicly

available. Company Teardown reports are training aids developed

for general education purposes and are biased toward presenting

the information we feel our pharmacy audience would find most

relevant. These reports may be incomplete, are general in nature,

and should not be used for making investing decisions. Please

refer to the McKesson website and 2024 annual report for details.

McKesson defines itself the following way: “McKesson is a

diversified healthcare services leader dedicated to advancing

health outcomes for patients everywhere. Their teams partner

with

biopharma

companies,

care

providers,

pharmacies,

manufacturers, governments, and others to deliver insights,

products, and services to help make quality care more accessible

and affordable.”

McKesson Divisions Breakdown

U.S. Pharmaceutical

U.S. Pharmaceutical is a reportable segment that distributes branded, generic, specialty, biosimilar,

and over-the counter pharmaceutical drugs and other healthcare-related products in the United States

(“U.S.”). This segment also provides practice management, technology, clinical support, and business

solutions to community-based oncology and other specialty practices. In addition, the segment sells

financial, operational, and clinical solutions to pharmacies (retail, hospital, alternate sites) and provides

consulting, outsourcing, technological, and other services.

McKesson operates its business in four reportable segments:

U.S. Pharmaceutical, Prescription Technology Solutions (“RxTS”),

Medical-Surgical Solutions, and International.

Prescription Technology Solutions

(RxTS)

Prescription Technology Solutions (RxTS) is a reportable segment that combines automation and

McKesson’s ability to navigate the healthcare ecosystem to connect patients, pharmacies, providers,

pharmacy benefit managers, health plans, and biopharma to address patients’ medication access,

affordability, and adherence challenges. RxTS also offers prescription price transparency, benefit

insight, dispensing support services, as well as third-party logistics and wholesale distribution support

across various therapeutic categories and temperature ranges to biopharma customers throughout

the product lifecycle.

Medical-Surgical Solutions

Medical-Surgical Solutions is a reportable segment that provides medical-surgical supply distribution,

logistics, and other services to healthcare providers, including physician offices, surgery centers,

nursing homes, hospital reference labs, and home health care agencies. This segment offers national

brand medical-surgical products as well as McKesson’s own line of high-quality products through a

network of distribution centers within the U.S.

International

International is a reportable segment that includes our operations in Canada and Europe, bringing

together non-U.S.-based drug distribution services, specialty pharmacy, retail, and infusion care

services. McKesson’s Canadian operations deliver medicines, supplies, and information technology

solutions throughout Canada and includes Rexall Health retail pharmacies. During fiscal 2023,

McKesson completed transactions to sell certain of our businesses in the European Union (“E.U.

disposal group”), and their retail and distribution businesses in the United Kingdom (“U.K. disposal

group”). McKesson’s remaining operations in Europe provide distribution and services to wholesale

and retail customers in Norway where they own, partner, or franchise with retail pharmacies.
