Acquisitions
Rx Savings Solutions, LLC
On November 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the shares of Rx Savings Solutions, LLC (“RxSS”), a privately-owned company headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, to expand on connecting biopharma and payer services to patients. RxSS is a prescription price transparency and benefit insight company that offers affordability and adherence solutions to health plans and employers. The purchase consideration included a payment of $600 million in cash made upon closing and a maximum of $275 million of contingent consideration based on RxSS’ operational and financial performance through calendar year 2025. The payment made upon closing was funded from cash on hand. The financial results of RxSS are included in the Company’s RxTS segment as of the acquisition date. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination.
The Company recorded a liability for the contingent consideration at its fair value of $92 million as of the acquisition date, which is included within “Other non-current liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation, utilizing internal cash flow projections which are Level 3 inputs under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The contingent liability will be remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the liability is resolved with changes in fair value being recognized within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Recognition of the initial fair value of this contingent consideration is a non-cash investing activity.
The purchase price allocation included acquired identifiable intangible assets of $229 million, primarily representing customer relationships and technology with a weighted average amortization period of 12 years, and goodwill of $463 million. Goodwill has been preliminarily allocated to the Company’s RxTS segment, which reflects the expected future benefits from certain synergies and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

Oncology Research Business
On October 31, 2022, the Company completed a transaction with HCA Healthcare, Inc. (“HCA”) to form an oncology research business, combining McKesson’s U.S. Oncology Research (“USOR”) and HCA’s Sarah Cannon Research Institute (“SCRI”) based in Nashville, Tennessee, to advance cancer care and increase access to oncology clinical research. Upon consummation of the transaction, McKesson owns a 51% controlling interest in the combined business, and the financial results are consolidated by the Company and reported within its U.S. Pharmaceutical segment as of the acquisition date. Transaction consideration included the transfer of full ownership interest in USOR to the combined business and $173 million of cash paid to HCA, which was funded from cash on hand. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination.
The purchase price allocation included acquired identifiable intangible assets of $177 million, primarily representing customer relationships as well as trademarks and trade names with a weighted average amortization period of 17 years, and goodwill of $120 million. Goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s U.S. Pharmaceutical segment, which reflects the expected future benefits from certain synergies and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition of $49 million is deductible for tax purposes. The Company recorded noncontrolling interest of $225 million as a component of equity, which includes HCA’s proportionate interest in the identifiable net assets of SCRI at fair value of $205 million and its proportionate interest in the contributed net assets of USOR at carrying value of $20 million. The difference between the fair value of the Company’s acquired interest in SCRI net assets and the $173 million of cash paid to HCA was recognized as additional paid in capital, as well as the Company’s reduction in ownership interest in USOR net assets.
The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation for this acquisition:

The fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets from the acquisitions discussed above were determined by applying the income approach, using a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several periods are discounted to their present value using an appropriate rate that is commensurate with the risk inherent with the transaction. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. Due to the recent timing of these acquisitions, the amounts presented above are subject to change as the Company’s fair value assessments are finalized. Pro forma financial information has not been provided as these acquisitions did not have a material impact, individually, or in the aggregate, to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.
Divestitures
In July 2021, the Company announced its intention to exit its businesses in Europe resulting in classification of certain assets and liabilities as held for sale. Assets and liabilities of $4.5 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2022, met the criteria for classification as held for sale in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, primarily consisting of disposal groups related to the Company’s European divestiture activities discussed below. At December 31, 2022, the Company had no assets or liabilities related to these divestiture activities that met the classification of held for sale. The decrease in assets and liabilities held for sale during fiscal 2023 was driven by the divestiture of the Company’s E.U. disposal group in October 2022 and U.K. disposal group in April 2022, as discussed in more detail below. During the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded gains of $31 million and charges of $879 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, recorded gains of $66 million and charges of $1.4 billion, respectively, primarily to remeasure the assets and liabilities of the disposal groups related to European divestiture activities discussed below to the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The fiscal 2022 charges were largely driven by declines in the British pound sterling and the Euro.
Assets and liabilities to be disposed of by sale (“disposal groups”) are classified as “held for sale” if their carrying amounts are principally expected to be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The classification occurs when the disposal group is available for immediate sale and the sale is probable. These criteria are generally met when an agreement to sell exists, or management has committed to a plan to sell the assets within one year. Disposal groups are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and long-lived assets included within the disposal group are not depreciated or amortized. The fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, is assessed each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and any remeasurement to the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell is reported as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group. When the net realizable value of a disposal group increases during a period, a gain can be recognized to the extent that it does not increase the value of the disposal group beyond its original carrying value when the disposal group was classified as held for sale. The Company determined that the disposal groups discussed below did not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations prior to being sold.
European Divestiture Activities
On October 31, 2022, the Company completed its previously announced transaction to sell certain of its businesses in the European Union (“E.U.”) located in France, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Belgium, and Slovenia, along with its German headquarters and wound-care business, part of a shared services center in Lithuania, and its ownership stake in a joint venture in the Netherlands (“E.U. disposal group”) to the PHOENIX Group. As part of the transaction, the Company received cash proceeds of $892 million and divested net assets of $1.3 billion, including cash of $319 million, derecognized the carrying value of its noncontrolling interest held by minority shareholders of McKesson Europe AG (“McKesson Europe”) of $382 million, and released $153 million of net accumulated other comprehensive loss.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded net gains of $31 million and $66 million, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, recorded charges totaling $26 million and $517 million, respectively, to remeasure the assets and liabilities of the E.U. disposal group to fair value less costs to sell. The charges for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 also included impairments of individual assets, such as certain internal-use software that will not be utilized in the future, prior to adjusting the E.U. disposal group as a whole and net losses of $230 million related to the accumulated other comprehensive income balances associated with the E.U. disposal group, driven by declines in the Euro. These amounts were recorded within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s measurement of the fair value of the E.U. disposal group was based on the total consideration expected to be received by the Company as outlined in the transaction agreement. Certain components of the total consideration included fair value measurements that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The total assets and liabilities of the E.U. disposal group that met the classification of held for sale in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2022 were as follows:

On April 6, 2022, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its retail and distribution businesses in the United Kingdom (“U.K. disposal group”) to Aurelius Elephant Limited for a purchase price of £110 million (or, approximately $144 million), including certain adjustments. As part of the transaction, the Company divested net assets of $615 million and released $731 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss, within the International segment, and the buyer assumed and repaid a note payable to the Company of $118 million.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded charges totaling $823 million to remeasure the U.K. disposal group to the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The remeasurement adjustment included a $731 million loss related to the accumulated other comprehensive loss balances associated with the U.K. disposal group, driven by declines in the British pound sterling. The charges were recorded within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s measurement of the fair value of the U.K. disposal group was based on the total consideration expected to be received by the Company as outlined in the transaction agreement. Certain components of the total consideration included fair value measurements that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The total assets and liabilities of the U.K. disposal group that met the classification of held for sale in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2022 were as follows:

On January 31, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Austrian business to Quadrifolia Management GmbH in a management-led buyout for a purchase price of €244 million (or, approximately $276 million), including certain adjustments. In the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a loss of $30 million to remeasure the assets and liabilities of the business to the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The charge was recorded within “Selling, distribution, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Subsequent to the divestiture activities discussed above, the Company’s European operations primarily consist of its retail and distribution businesses in Norway.
