1.	Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements of McKesson Corporation (“McKesson,” the “Company,” or “we” and other similar pronouns) include the financial statements of all wholly-owned subsidiaries and majority‑owned or controlled companies. We also evaluate our ownership, contractual and other interests in entities to determine if they are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), if we have a variable interest in those entities and the nature and extent of those interests. These evaluations are highly complex and involve judgment and the use of estimates and assumptions based on available historical information and management’s judgment, among other factors. Based on our evaluations, if we determine we are the primary beneficiary of such VIEs, we consolidate such entities into our financial statements. Investments in business entities in which we do not have control, but have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method and our proportionate share of income or loss is recorded in other income, net. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements.

To prepare the financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of these financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

The results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 previously filed with the SEC on May 14, 2014 (“2014 Annual Report”).

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The Company’s fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. Unless otherwise noted, all references to a particular year shall mean the Company’s fiscal year.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Cumulative Translation Adjustments: In the first quarter of 2015, we adopted amended guidance for parent’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or group of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. The amended guidance requires the release of any cumulative translation adjustment into net income only upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of a controlling interest in a subsidiary or a group of assets within a foreign entity. Also, it requires the release of all or a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment to net income in case of sale of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Discontinued Operations: In April 2014, amended guidance was issued for reporting of discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components. The amended guidance raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and permits significant continuing involvement and continuing cash flows with the discontinued operation. In addition, the amended guidance requires additional disclosures for discontinued operations and new disclosures for individually material disposal transactions that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The amended guidance is effective for us prospectively commencing in the first quarter of 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, amended guidance was issued for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The amended guidance eliminated industry specific guidance and applies to all companies. Revenues will be recognized when an entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for that good or service. Revenue from a contract that contains multiple performance obligations is allocated to each performance obligation generally on a relative standalone selling price basis. The amended guidance also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for us commencing in the first quarter of 2018. The amended guidance allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amended guidance on our consolidated financial statements.


2.	Business Combinations

On February 6, 2014, we completed the acquisition of 77.6% of the then outstanding common shares of Celesio AG (“Celesio”) and certain convertible bonds of Celesio for cash consideration of $4.5 billion, net of cash acquired (the “Acquisition”). Upon the acquisition, as required, we consolidated Celesio’s debt with a fair value of $2.3 billion as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet and our ownership of Celesio’s fully diluted common shares was 75.6%. The Acquisition was initially funded by utilizing a senior bridge loan, our existing accounts receivable sales facility and cash on hand. Celesio is an international wholesale and retail company and a provider of logistics and services to the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. Celesio’s headquarters is in Stuttgart, Germany and it operates in 14 countries around the world. The acquisition of Celesio expands our global geographic area; the combined company is one of the largest pharmaceutical wholesalers and providers of logistics and services in the healthcare sector worldwide.

From February 7 to March 31, 2014, substantially all of the convertible bonds issued by Celesio (held by both third parties and us) were converted to 20.9 million common shares of Celesio. During the first quarter of 2015, we completed tender offers and we acquired approximately 1 million common shares of Celesio at €23.50 per share for a total of $32 million in cash, and the remaining convertible bonds were fully converted into 42,238 common shares of Celesio. At June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, we owned approximately 75.9% and 75.4% of Celesio’s outstanding and fully diluted common shares.

On May 22, 2014, Celesio and McKesson, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Dragonfly GmbH & Co. KGaA, entered into a domination and profit and loss transfer agreement (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, Celesio will subordinate its management to McKesson and undertake to transfer all of its annual profits to McKesson, and McKesson will undertake to compensate any annual losses incurred by Celesio and to grant, subject to a potential court review, the noncontrolling shareholders of Celesio (i) an annual recurring compensation of €0.83 per Celesio share and (ii) a put right for their Celesio shares at €22.99 per Celesio share. On July 15, 2014, the Agreement was approved at the general shareholders’ meeting of Celesio. The Agreement becomes effective upon its registration in the commercial register of Celesio at the local court of Stuttgart, Germany. Celesio’s obligation to transfer its annual profits under the Agreement will apply for the first time for the entire profit generated in Celesio’s fiscal period beginning on January 1, 2015 or the subsequent fiscal year in which the Agreement becomes effective. McKesson’s obligation to compensate the annual losses of Celesio under the Agreement will apply for the first time for the full fiscal period of Celesio during which the Agreement becomes effective. We currently anticipate the Agreement to be effective by the end of the calendar year, at which time, we will obtain operational control of Celesio.

Financial results for Celesio are included within our International pharmaceutical distribution and services business, which is part of our Distribution Solutions segment, since the date of acquisition.

The following table summarizes the preliminary recording of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.



(In millions)	Amounts Previously Recognized as of Acquisition Date (Provisional)⁽¹⁾			Measurement Period Adjustments			Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date (Provisional as Adjusted)
Receivables	$	3,425		$	(3	)	$	3,422

(1)	As previously reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014.

During the first quarter of 2015, the fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Celesio as of the acquisition date were refined. Among the adjustments recorded, the fair value of acquired intangible assets was decreased by $536 million. The fair value was primarily determined by applying the income approach using unobservable inputs for projected cash flows and a discount rate, which were refined during the current period, and are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. These refinements did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets or cash flows in any period and, therefore, we have not retrospectively adjusted our financial statements. These amounts are subject to change within the measurement period as our fair value assessments are finalized.

During the last two years, we also completed a number of smaller acquisitions within both of our operating segments. Financial results for our business acquisitions have been included in our consolidated financial statements since their respective acquisition dates. Purchase prices for our business acquisitions have been allocated based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill recognized for our business acquisitions is generally not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. However, if we acquire the assets of a company, the goodwill may be deductible for tax purposes.


3.	Noncontrolling Interests

At June 30, 2014, we owned approximately 75.9% of Celesio’s outstanding and fully diluted common shares, which was primarily obtained through our February 2014 acquisition of the then outstanding common shares and certain convertible bonds of Celesio. In April 2014, we completed tender offers and paid $32 million in cash to acquire approximately 1 million additional common shares of Celesio, which increased our ownership share by 0.5% and decreased noncontrolling interests by $35 million since March 31, 2014. The effect of changes in our ownership interest in Celesio on our equity of $3 million was recorded as an increase to McKesson’s stockholders’ paid-in capital. Net income attributable to McKesson and transfers from noncontrolling interests to McKesson equity amounted to $406 million for the first quarter of 2015.

4.	Discontinued Operations

In 2014, we committed to a plan to sell our International Technology and our Hospital Automation businesses from our Technology Solutions segment and certain businesses from our Distribution Solutions segment. As required, we classified the results of operations and cash flows of these businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented in our consolidated financial statements in 2014 and depreciation and amortization expense was not recognized.

During the third quarter of 2014, our Hospital Automation business was sold for net cash proceeds of $55 million and we recorded a pre-tax and after-tax loss of $5 million and $7 million.

During the third quarter of 2014, we recorded an $80 million pre-tax ($80 million after-tax) non-cash impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of our International Technology business to its estimated net realizable value (fair value less costs to sell). The charge was primarily the result of the terms of the preliminary purchase offers received for this business during the third quarter of 2014. The impairment charge was primarily attributed to goodwill and other long-lived assets and as a result, there was no tax benefit associated with this charge. During the first quarter of 2015, we entered into an agreement to sell the software business within our International Technology business. We completed the sale of the software business on July 1, 2014 and no material gain or loss is anticipated.

During the first quarter of 2015, we also decided to retain the workforce business within our International Technology business. This business consists of workforce management solutions for the National Health Service in the United Kingdom, which we now intend to wind down in 2016. As a result, we reclassified the workforce business, which had been designated as a discontinued operation since the first quarter of 2014, as a continuing operation for all periods presented. During the first quarter of 2015, we also recorded a non-cash pre-tax charge of $34 million ($27 million after-tax) primarily relating to depreciation and amortization expense for 2014 when the business was classified as held for sale. The non-cash charge was recorded in our condensed consolidated statement of operations as follows: $32 million in cost of sales and $2 million in operating expenses.

A summary of results of discontinued operations is as follows:



	Quarter Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2014			2013
Revenues	$	36		$	85

Loss from discontinued operations	$	(15	)	$	(3	)
Income tax (expense) benefit	1			(1		)
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(14	)	$	(4	)

The assets and liabilities of our discontinued operations are classified as held-for-sale effective in 2014. All applicable assets of the businesses to be sold are included under the caption “Prepaid expenses and other” and all applicable liabilities under the caption “Other accrued liabilities” within our condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014. The carrying values of the assets and liabilities classified as held-for-sale were $138 million and $144 million at June 30, 2014 and $267 million and $248 million at March 31, 2014.


5.	Income Taxes

As of June 30, 2014, we had $582 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $427 million would reduce income tax expense and the effective tax rate, if recognized. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that audit resolutions and the expiration of statutes of limitations could potentially reduce our unrecognized tax benefits by up to $158 million. However, this amount may change as we continue to have ongoing negotiations with various taxing authorities throughout the year.

(UNAUDITED)

We have received reassessments from the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) for a total of $261 million related to a transfer pricing matter impacting years 2003 through 2010. On December 13, 2013, the Tax Court of Canada dismissed our appeal of the 2003 reassessment and we have filed a Notice of Appeal to the Federal Court of Appeal regarding this tax year. During the first quarter of 2015, we filed a Notice of Appeal with the Tax Court of Canada relating to the 2004 through 2008 reassessments. The ultimate resolution of these issues could result in an increase or decrease to income tax expense.

Through the appeals process, we reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to settle all outstanding issues relating to years 2003 through 2006. As a result of this agreement we will pay additional taxes of $21 million, which have already been accrued in our financial statements. We are also recognizing a $17 million discrete tax benefit during the quarter to record a previously unrecognized tax benefit.

The IRS is currently examining our U.S. corporation income tax returns for 2007 through 2009. The CRA is currently examining our Canadian Income tax returns for 2011 through 2013. In nearly all jurisdictions, the tax years prior to 2003 are no longer subject to examination.

We report interest and penalties on tax deficiencies as income tax expense. During the quarter, we recognized income tax expense of $4 million, before any tax benefit, related to interest and penalties in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. At June 30, 2014, before any tax benefits, our accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits amounted to $161 million.

6.	Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share are computed similar to basic earnings per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

The computations for basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows:



	Quarter Ended June 30,
(In millions, except per share amounts)	2014			2013
Income from continuing operations	$	425		$	428
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests	(8		)	—
Income from continuing operations attributable to McKesson	417			428
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	(14		)	(4		)
Net income attributable to McKesson	$	403		$	424

Weighted average common shares outstanding:
Basic	231			227
Effect of dilutive securities:
Options to purchase common stock	2			2
Restricted stock units	2			3
Diluted	235			232

Earnings (loss) per common share attributable to McKesson: ⁽¹⁾

Continuing operations	$	1.78		$	1.84
Discontinued operations	(0.06		)	(0.01		)
Total	$	1.72		$	1.83
Basic
Continuing operations	$	1.81		$	1.88
Discontinued operations	(0.06		)	(0.02		)
Total	$	1.75		$	1.86


(1)	Certain computations may reflect rounding adjustments.

Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based and other restricted stock units. Approximately 2 million and 3 million potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computations of diluted net earnings per common share for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, as they were anti-dilutive.

All intangible assets were subject to amortization as of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014.


8.	Debt and Financing Activities

Celesio Debt

Upon the acquisition of Celesio, as required, we consolidated Celesio’s debt including corporate bonds consisting of 4.00% bonds due October 18, 2016 and 4.50% bonds due April 26, 2017. At June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, $500 million and $507 million of the 4.00% bonds and $726 million and $737 million of the 4.50% bonds, for a total of $1,226 million and $1,244 million, were outstanding. As of March 31, 2014, these bonds were classified within current liabilities as bondholders had the option to redeem the bonds at par value plus accrued interest. This redemption option expired during the first quarter of 2015 and the remaining bonds outstanding will mature according to their respective maturity dates. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2014, these bonds have been classified as long-term debt.

(UNAUDITED)

We also consolidated Celesio’s accounts receivable factoring facilities (the “Factoring Facilities”) with a total committed and uncommitted balance of $315 million. The Factoring Facilities will expire through September 2015. During the first quarter of 2015, Celesio borrowed and repaid $758 million and $746 million of short-term borrowings under the Factoring Facilities. At June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, there were $258 million and $246 million in secured borrowings and related securitized accounts receivable outstanding under the Factoring Facilities.

Celesio also maintains a syndicated €500 million five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires in February 2018. Borrowings under this facility bear interest based upon the Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus an agreed margin. There were no borrowings under this facility during the first quarter of 2015 and there were no amounts outstanding under this facility as of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014.

Celesio also maintains bilateral credit lines with a total committed and uncommitted balance of $2.0 billion. During the first quarter of 2015, Celesio borrowed and repaid $159 million and $30 million under these credit lines primarily relating to short‑term borrowings. As of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, there were $321 million and $188 million outstanding under these credit lines.

Accounts Receivable Sales Facility

We have an accounts receivable sales facility (the “Facility”) with a committed balance of $1.35 billion, although from time to time, the available amount of the Facility may be less than $1.35 billion based on accounts receivable concentration limits and other eligibility requirements. The Facility will expire in November 2014 and we anticipate renewing the Facility before its expiration.

During the first quarter of 2015, there were no borrowings under the Facility. During the first quarter of 2014, we borrowed and repaid $100 million of short-term borrowings under the Facility. At June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, there were no short‑term borrowings and related securitized accounts receivable outstanding under the Facility.

The Facility contains requirements relating to the performance of the accounts receivable and covenants relating to the Company. If we do not comply with these covenants, our ability to use the Facility may be suspended and repayment of any outstanding balances under the Facility may be required. At June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants.

Revolving Credit Facility

We have a syndicated $1.3 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires in September 2016. Borrowings under this facility bear interest based upon either the London Interbank Offered Rate or a prime rate. There were no borrowings under this facility during the first quarters of 2015 and 2014. As of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, there were no amounts outstanding under this facility.


9.	Pension Benefits

Net periodic expense for the defined pension benefit plans of the Company and Celesio was $11 million for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014. Cash contributions to these plans were $15 million and $5 million for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014. The increase in contributions in 2015 compared to 2014 is primarily related to defined benefit pension plans of Celesio, which we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2014.

The net periodic expense for our pension plans, which includes net pension expense for Celesio in the first quarter of 2015, is as follows:



	U.S. Plans						Non-U.S. Plans
	Quarter Ended June 30,						Quarter Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2014			2013			2014			2013
Service cost - benefits earned during the year	$	—		$	1		$	4		$	1
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation	5			5			9			1

Amortization of unrecognized actuarial loss, prior service costs and net transitional obligation	4			9			1			1
Net periodic pension expense	$	4		$	10		$	7		$	1

The projected unit credit method is utilized in measuring net periodic pension expense over the employees’ service life for the pension plans. Unrecognized actuarial losses exceeding 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market value of assets are amortized straight-line over the average remaining future service periods.


10.	Hedging Activities

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations. At times, we limit these risks through the use of derivatives such as interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts. In accordance with our policy, derivatives are only used for hedging purposes. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign currency rate risk

Prior to the acquisition of Celesio, the majority of our operations were conducted in U. S. dollars; however, certain assets and liabilities, revenues and expense and purchasing activities were incurred in and exposed to other currencies. We have established certain foreign currency rate risk programs that manage the impact of foreign currency fluctuation. These programs are utilized on a transactional basis when we consider there to be a risk in fair value or volatility in cash flows. These programs reduce but do not entirely eliminate foreign currency rate risk.

Historically, we have entered into forward contracts and a foreign currency option to hedge against cash flows denominated primarily in Canadian dollars, Euros and British pounds. At June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, forward contracts having a total notional value of $463 million were designated for hedge accounting. These contracts will mature between March 2015 and March 2020. Changes in the fair values for contracts designated for hedge accounting are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings; amounts recorded to earnings for these contracts were not material during the first quarters of 2015 and 2014. Changes in the fair values for contracts not designated for hedge accounting are recorded directly to earnings; amounts recorded to earnings for these contracts were not material during the first quarter of 2014. All forward contracts were designated for hedge accounting during the first quarter of 2015.

Celesio has a number of forward contracts to hedge against cash flows denominated primarily in British pounds and other European currencies. These contracts will mature from July 2014 to June 2015. None of these contracts were designated for hedge accounting and accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded directly in earnings. At June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the total notional values of these contracts were $1,449 million and $1,091 million. Amounts recorded to earnings were not material during the first quarter of 2015.

Interest rate risk

Celesio also has interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with Celesio’s variable rate debt. Interest rate swaps are used to modify the market risk exposures in connection with the variable rate debt to achieve primarily Euro dollar fixed rate interest expense. The interest rate swap transactions generally involve the exchange of floating or fixed interest payments. The interest rate swaps will mature through September 2014. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded directly in earnings. At June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the total gross notional values of these contracts were $68 million and $96 million. Amounts recorded to earnings were not material during the first quarter of 2015.

Information regarding the fair value of derivatives on a gross basis is as follows:

11.	Fair Value Measurements

At June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities receivables, drafts and accounts payable and other current liabilities generally approximated their estimated fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

Our long-term debt and other financing are carried at amortized cost. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these liabilities were $10.2 billion and $10.7 billion at June 30, 2014 and $10.4 billion and $10.8 billion at March 31, 2014. The estimated fair values of our long-term debt and other financing were determined using quoted market prices in a less active market and other observable inputs from available market information, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future.

Included in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 were investments in money market funds, time deposits and repurchase agreements of $3.4 billion and $2.9 billion, which are reported at fair value. The fair value of these investments was determined by using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets, which are considered to be Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. The carrying value of all other cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to their relatively short-term nature.

Fair values of our forward foreign currency derivatives were determined using quoted market prices of similar instruments in an active market and other observable inputs from available market information. These inputs are considered Level 2 under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Refer to Financial Note 10, "Hedging Activities," for more information on our forward foreign currency derivatives.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.


12.	Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In addition to commitments and obligations in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims, other pending and potential legal actions for damages, investigations relating to governmental laws and regulations and other matters arising out of the normal conduct of our business. As described below, many of these proceedings are at preliminary stages and many seek an indeterminate amount of damages.

When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, we record a liability in the amount of our best estimate for the ultimate loss. However, the likelihood of a loss with respect to a particular contingency is often difficult to predict and determining a meaningful estimate of the loss or a range of loss may not be practicable based on the information available and the potential effect of future events and decisions by third parties that will determine the ultimate resolution of the contingency. Moreover, it is not uncommon for such matters to be resolved over many years, during which time relevant developments and new information must be reevaluated at least quarterly to determine both the likelihood of potential loss and whether it is possible to reasonably estimate a range of possible loss. When a loss is probable but a reasonable estimate cannot be made, disclosure of the proceeding is provided.

Disclosure also is provided when it is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the recorded provision. We review all contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and to assess whether a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss can be made. As discussed above, development of a meaningful estimate of loss or a range of potential loss is complex when the outcome is directly dependent on negotiations with or decisions by third parties, such as regulatory agencies, the court system and other interested parties. Such factors bear directly on whether it is possible to reasonably estimate a range of potential loss and boundaries of high and low estimates.

Significant developments in previously reported proceedings and in other litigation and claims, since the filing of our 2014 Annual Report are set out below. Unless otherwise stated, we are currently unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses for the unresolved proceedings described below. Should any one or a combination of more than one of these proceedings be successful, or should we determine to settle any or a combination of these matters, we may be required to pay substantial sums, become subject to the entry of an injunction or be forced to change the manner in which we operate our business, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Litigation, Government Subpoenas and Investigations

On May 21, 2014, four hedge funds managed by Magnetar Capital filed a complaint against Dragonfly GmbH & Co KGaA (“Dragonfly”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in a German court in Frankfurt, Germany, alleging that Dragonfly violated German takeover law in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Celesio by paying more to some holders of Celesio’s convertible bonds than it paid to the shareholders of Celesio’s stock, and seeking approximately $356,000 (or €261,000) in damages plus an unspecified amount of interest, Magnetar Capital Master Fund Ltd. et al. v. Dragonfly GmbH & Co KGaA, (No. 3-05 O 44/14). Other minority shareholders may seek to file similar lawsuits alleging the same claim, seeking damages based on their shares of Celesio stock. Dragonfly has not yet responded to the complaint.

On June 17, 2014, U.S. Oncology Specialty, LP (“USOS”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was served with a fifth amended qui tam complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York by a relator, purportedly on behalf of the United States and twelve states, against USOS and fifteen oncology practices, alleging that USOS facilitated the payment of illegal “kickbacks” from Amgen to the oncology practices in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute, the False Claims Act, and various state false claims statutes, and seeking damages, treble damages, civil penalties, attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, all in unspecified amounts, United States ex rel. Hanks v. U.S. Oncology Specialty, LP, et al., (CV 04-3983 (SJ)). Previously, the United States and the twelve states named in the operative complaint declined to intervene in the case. The Court set August 1, 2014 as the deadline for USOS and the other defendants to respond to the complaint.

From time to time, the Company receives subpoenas or requests for information from various government agencies. The Company generally responds to such subpoenas and requests in a cooperative, thorough and timely manner. These responses sometimes require time and effort and can result in considerable costs being incurred by the Company. Such subpoenas and requests also can lead to the assertion of claims or the commencement of civil or criminal legal proceedings against the Company and other members of the healthcare industry, as well as to settlements. Examples of such subpoenas and investigations are included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and include subpoenas from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to certain of the Company’s pharmaceutical distribution facilities seeking information and records about the Company’s distribution of certain controlled substances. The Company is currently responding to these requests. In addition, as previously reported, the Company was informed in the third quarter of 2014 of an investigation by the United States Department of Justice through the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of West Virginia of potential claims under the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act. The Company believes that the investigation is focused on the Company’s pharmaceutical distribution of certain controlled substances by its Landover, Maryland distribution center, which closed in 2012.


13.	Stockholders’ Equity

Each share of the Company’s outstanding common stock is permitted one vote on proposals presented to stockholders and is entitled to share equally in any dividends declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

In July 2013, the Company’s quarterly dividend was raised from $0.20 to $0.24 per common share for dividends declared on or after such date by the Board. The Company anticipates that it will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment and amount of future dividends remain within the discretion of the Board and will depend upon the Company's future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

(UNAUDITED)

Revenues for the first quarter of 2015 increased compared to the same period a year ago primarily reflecting our February 2014 acquisition of Celesio AG (“Celesio”), our mix of business and market growth. Market growth includes growing drug utilization and price increases, partially offset by price deflation associated with brand to generic drug conversion.

Gross profit and gross profit margin increased in the first quarter of 2015 primarily due to our acquisition of Celesio and growth in our North American distribution and services business, partially offset by a decline in our Technology Solutions segment. Gross profit in the first quarter of 2015 includes a LIFO-related inventory charge of $98 million; no charge was incurred in the first quarter of 2014.

Operating expenses increased in the first quarter of 2015 primarily due to our acquisition of Celesio, including higher intangible asset amortization and increases in acquisition-related expenses, and higher compensation and benefit costs.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the first quarter of 2015 increased slightly as higher gross profit was almost fully offset by higher operating and interest expense. Interest expense increased primarily due to our Celesio acquisition.

Net income attributable to McKesson Corporation for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014 was $403 million and $424 million. Diluted earnings per common share attributable to McKesson for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014 were $1.72 and $1.83.

On February 6, 2014, we completed the acquisition of 77.6% of the then outstanding common shares of Celesio and certain convertible bonds of Celesio for cash consideration of $4.5 billion, net of cash acquired (the “Acquisition”). Upon the acquisition, as required, we consolidated Celesio’s debt with a fair value of $2.3 billion as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet and our ownership of Celesio’s fully diluted common shares was 75.6%. The Acquisition was initially funded by utilizing a senior bridge loan, our existing accounts receivable sales facility and cash on hand. Celesio is an international wholesale and retail company and a provider of logistics and services to the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. Celesio’s headquarters is in Stuttgart, Germany and it operates in 14 countries around the world. The acquisition of Celesio expands our global geographic area; the combined company is one of the largest pharmaceutical wholesalers and providers of logistics and services in the healthcare sector worldwide.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2015 increased 37% to $44.1 billion compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to our Distribution Solutions segment, which accounted for approximately 98% of our consolidated revenues.

Distribution Solutions: North America pharmaceutical distribution and services revenues increased in the first quarter of 2015 primarily due to our mix of business and market growth, reflecting growing drug utilization and price increases. These increases were partially offset by price deflation associated with brand to generics drug conversion. International pharmaceutical distribution and services revenues of $7.6 billion in the first quarter of 2015 represent revenues from Celesio, acquired in the fourth quarter of 2014. Medical-Surgical distribution and services revenues increased primarily due to market growth.

bp - basis points

Gross profit increased 45% to $2.8 billion and as a percentage of revenue, gross profit margin increased 36 bp in the first quarter compared to the same period a year ago. These increases primarily reflect an increase in our Distribution Solutions operating segment, including our acquisition of Celesio.

Distribution Solutions

Distribution Solutions segment’s gross profit margin increased primarily due to our acquisition of Celesio and growth in our North American distribution and services business which reflects sales of higher margin generic drugs and an increase in buy margin, partially offset by a decrease in sell margin. Buy margin includes volume and timing of compensation from pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Our last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) net inventory expense was $98 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to nil in the first quarter of 2014. Our North American distribution and services business uses the LIFO method of accounting for the majority of its inventories which results in cost of sales that more closely reflects replacement cost than under other accounting methods. The practice in the businesses is to pass on to customers published price changes from suppliers. Manufacturers generally provide us with price protection, which limits price-related inventory losses. A LIFO expense is recognized when the net effect of price increases on pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical products held in inventory exceeds the impact of price declines, including the effect of branded pharmaceutical products that have lost market exclusivity. A LIFO credit is recognized when the net effect of price declines exceeds the impact of price increases on pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical products held in inventory.

As a result of historical cumulative net price deflation from 2005 to 2013, we had a lower-of-cost or market (“LCM”) reserve of $60 million at March 31, 2013 which reduced pharmaceutical inventories at LIFO to market. In the first quarter of 2014, $37 million of the LCM reserve was released, resulting in an increase in gross profit. As of March 31, 2014, inventories at LIFO did not exceed market.

Technology Solutions

Technology Solutions segment’s gross profit and gross profit margin decreased primarily reflecting a pre-tax non-cash charge of $32 million for depreciation and amortization as described further below. Additionally, gross profit decreased as a result of a decline in revenue.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)

(UNAUDITED)

In 2014, we committed to a plan to sell our International Technology and Hospital Automation businesses from our Technology Solutions segment and certain businesses from our Distributions Solutions segment. As required, we classified the results of operations and cash flows of these businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented in our consolidated financial statements in 2014 and depreciation and amortization expense was not recognized.

During the first quarter of 2015, we entered into an agreement to sell the software business within our International Technology business. We completed the sale of the software business on July 1, 2014 and no material gain or loss is anticipated. During the first quarter of 2015, we also decided to retain the workforce business within our International Technology business. This business consists of workforce management solutions for the National Health Service in the United Kingdom, which we now intend to wind down in 2016. As a result, we reclassified the workforce business, which had been designated as a discontinued operation since the first quarter of 2014, as a continuing operation for all periods presented. During the first quarter of 2015, we also recorded a non-cash pre-tax charge of $34 million ($27 million after-tax) primarily relating to depreciation and amortization expense for 2014 when the business was classified as held for sale. The non-cash charge was recorded in our condensed consolidated statement of operations as follows: $32 million in cost of sales and $2 million in operating expenses.

Segment Operating Profit Margin: Operating profit margin for our Distribution Solutions segment decreased in the first quarter of 2015 primarily due to higher operating expenses as a percentage of revenues, partially offset by an increase in gross profit margin. Operating profit margin for Technology Solutions segment decreased in the first quarter of 2015 primarily due to a non-cash pre‑tax charge of $34 million recorded in connection with the reclassification of the workforce business within our International Technology business from discontinued operations to continuing operations.

Corporate: Corporate expenses, net of other income for the first quarter of 2015 increased primarily due to increases in acquisition-related expenses and higher compensation and benefit costs.

Interest Expense: Interest expense for the first quarter of 2015 increased primarily due to the March 2014 issuance of $4.1 billion of new debt issued to fund the acquisition of Celesio and due to interest on Celesio’s debt. These increases were partially offset by the repayment of $350 million of the current portion of our long-term debt in February 2014.

Income Taxes: Our reported income tax rates for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014 were 30.0% and 28.9%. Fluctuations in our reported income tax rates are primarily due to varying proportions of income attributable to foreign countries that have lower income tax rates and discrete tax items. Income tax expense for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014 included net discrete tax benefits of $12 million and $5 million.

Loss from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax: Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $14 million and $4 million for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014. Diluted loss per common share from discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2015 was $0.06 compared to $0.01 for the same period a year ago.

Net income attributable to McKesson Corporation: Net income attributable to McKesson Corporation was $403 million and $424 million, and diluted earnings per common share attributable to McKesson Corporation were $1.72 and $1.83.

Weighted Average Diluted Common Shares Outstanding: Diluted earnings per common share were calculated based on a weighted average number of shares outstanding of 235 million and 232 million for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014. The weighted average diluted number of shares outstanding increased primarily due to the issuance of share-based awards.

Business Combinations

As previously discussed, on February 6, 2014, we completed the acquisition of 77.6% of the then outstanding common shares of Celesio and certain convertible bonds of Celesio for cash consideration of $4.5 billion, net of cash acquired. Upon the acquisition, we consolidated Celesio’s debt with a fair value of $2.3 billion as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet and our ownership of Celesio’s fully diluted common shares was 75.6%. From February 7 to March 31, 2014, substantially all of the convertible bonds issued by Celesio (held by both third parties and us) were converted to 20.9 million common shares of Celesio. During the first quarter of 2015, we completed tender offers and we acquired approximately 1 million common shares of Celesio at €23.50 per share for a total of $32 million in cash, and the remaining convertible bonds were fully converted to 42,238 common shares of Celesio. At June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, we owned approximately 75.9% and 75.4% of Celesio’s outstanding and fully diluted common shares.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting pronouncements that we have recently adopted as well as those that have been recently issued but not yet adopted by us are included in Financial Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect our available cash generated from operations, together with our existing sources of liquidity from our accounts receivable sales facility, the revolving credit facility and commercial paper issuance, will be sufficient to fund our long-term and short-term capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements. In addition, from time to time, we may access the long-term debt capital markets to discharge our other liabilities.

Operating activities generated cash of $182 million and $716 million during the first quarters of 2015 and 2014. Cash flows from operations can be significantly impacted by factors such as timing of receipts from customers, inventory receipts and payments to vendors. Additionally, working capital is a function of sales activity and inventory requirements.

Investing activities utilized cash of $112 million and $184 million during the first quarters of 2015 and 2014. Investing activities primarily reflect cash paid for business and property acquisitions and capitalized software.

Financing activities utilized cash of $167 million and $73 million during the first quarters of 2015 and 2014. Financing activities for the first quarter of 2015 include cash receipts of $917 million and payments of $759 million for short-term borrowings incurred by Celesio. Long-term debt repayments for the first quarter of 2015 were primarily cash paid on Celesio’s promissory notes. Financing activities for the first quarter of 2014 include $100 million of cash received and repayment of short-term borrowings. Additionally, financing activities for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014 included $102 million and $127 million of cash paid for stock repurchases, including shares surrendered for tax withholding.

The total authorization outstanding for repurchases of the Company’s common stock was $340 million at June 30, 2014. Stock repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated share repurchase programs, or by any combination of such methods. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including our stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, restrictions under our debt obligations and other market and economic conditions.

We believe that our operating cash flow, financial assets and current access to capital and credit markets, including our existing credit facilities, will give us the ability to meet our financing needs for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that future volatility and disruption in the global capital and credit markets will not impair our liquidity or increase our costs of borrowing.

Cash equivalents, which are available-for-sale, are carried at fair value. Cash equivalents are primarily invested in AAA rated prime and U.S. government money market funds denominated in U.S. dollars, AAA rated prime money market funds denominated in Euros, overnight repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury bonds, Canadian government securities and/or securities that are guaranteed or sponsored by the U.S. government and an AAA rated prime money market fund denominated in British pound sterling.

The remaining cash and cash equivalents are deposited with several financial institutions. We mitigate the risk of our short‑term investment portfolio by depositing funds with reputable financial institutions and monitoring risk profiles and investment strategies of money market funds. Within the Celesio operations, the majority of deposits are placed in Germany with only banks that are part of deposit protection programs.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2014 included approximately $1.9 billion of cash held by our subsidiaries outside of the United States. Our primary intent is to utilize this cash for foreign operations as well as to fund certain research and development activities for an indefinite period of time. Although the vast majority of cash held outside the United States is available for repatriation, doing so could subject us to U.S. federal, state and local income tax.

Working capital primarily includes cash and cash equivalents, receivables and inventories net of drafts and accounts payable, deferred revenue and other current liabilities. Our Distribution Solutions segment requires a substantial investment in working capital that is susceptible to large variations during the year as a result of inventory purchase patterns and seasonal demands. Inventory purchase activity is a function of sales activity and other requirements.

Our ratio of net debt to net capital employed decreased slightly in 2015.

Effective 2014, the Company’s quarterly dividend is $0.24 per common share for dividends declared on or after such date by the Board. The Company anticipates that it will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment and amount of future dividends remain within the discretion of the Board and will depend upon the Company's future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

Credit Resources

We fund our working capital requirements primarily with cash and cash equivalents, as well as, short-term borrowings under the accounts receivable sales facility, revolving credit facility and from commercial paper issuances.

Celesio Debt

Upon the acquisition of Celesio, as required, we consolidated Celesio’s debt including their accounts receivable factoring facilities (the “Factoring Facilities”) with a total committed and uncommitted balance of $315 million. The Factoring Facilities will expire through September 2015. During the first quarter of 2015, we borrowed and repaid $758 million and $746 million of short-term borrowings under the Factoring Facilities. At June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, there were $258 million and $246 million in secured borrowings and related securitized accounts receivable outstanding under the Factoring Facilities.

Accounts Receivable Sales Facility

Revolving Credit Facility

Debt Covenants

Our various borrowing facilities and long-term debt are subject to certain covenants. Our principal financial covenant is our U.S. dollar denominated debt to capital ratio under our $1.3 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which cannot exceed 65%. For the purpose of calculating this ratio, borrowings under the $1.35 billion accounts receivable sales facility are excluded. If we exceed this ratio, repayment of debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility could be accelerated. As of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with our financial covenants.

Funds necessary for future debt maturities and our other cash requirements are expected to be met by existing cash balances, cash flow from operations, existing credit sources and other capital market transactions.
