Below, Cencora presents descriptive summaries of the Company’s GAAP and adjusted (non-GAAP) quarterly and fiscal year results. In the tables that follow, GAAP results and GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations are presented. For more information related to non-GAAP financial measures, including adjustments made in the periods presented, please refer to the Supplemental Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures following the tables.
Fourth Quarter GAAP Results
- Revenue: In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, revenue was $79.1 billion, up 14.7 percent compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, reflecting a 15.7 percent increase in revenue within U.S. Healthcare Solutions and a 5.5 percent increase in revenue within International Healthcare Solutions.
- Gross Profit: Gross profit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $2.5 billion, a 10.6 percent increase compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year primarily due to an increase in gross profit in the U.S. Healthcare Solutions segment, a decrease in LIFO expense, and a lower Turkey highly inflationary impact on inventory in the current year quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 3.15 percent, a decline of 12 basis points from the prior year quarter due to the decline of U.S. Healthcare Solutions' gross profit margin primarily due to increased sales of products labeled for diabetes and/or weight loss in the GLP-1 class, which have lower profit margins, and a lack of exclusive COVID-19 therapy sales, which had higher gross profit margins.
- Operating Expenses: In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, operating expenses were $2.4 billion, up 33.2 percent from the same period last fiscal year, primarily due to: (i) a $418 million goodwill impairment charge related to PharmaLex; (ii) an increase in distribution, selling, and administrative expenses to support our continued business growth; and (iii) an increase in litigation and opioid-related expense. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue in the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter was 2.99 percent compared to 2.58 percent for the same period in the previous fiscal year.
- Operating Income: In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, operating income was $126.6 million, a 73.4 percent decrease compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year primarily due to the increase in operating expenses, offset in part by the increase in gross profit. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 0.16 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 0.69 percent for the same period in the previous fiscal year.
- Interest Expense, Net:In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, net interest expense of $21.0 million decreased 65.6 percent versus the prior year quarter due to an increase in interest income as a result of higher investment interest rates and higher average investment cash balances, and a decrease in interest expense driven by a decrease in interest expense at our European distribution business primarily due to decreased borrowings in Turkey and the September 2023 divestiture of our less-than-wholly-owned subsidiary in Egypt.
- Effective Tax Rate: The effective tax rate was 94.0 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 primarily due to the PharmaLex goodwill impairment, which is largely not deductible for income tax purposes. The effective tax rate was 21.8 percent in the prior year quarter.
- Diluted Earnings Per Share: Diluted earnings per share was $0.02 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, a 98.8 percent decrease compared to the previous fiscal year's fourth quarter.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION REGARDING
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures described below. The non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These supplemental measures may vary from, and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures by other companies.
The non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, to perform financial planning, and to determine incentive compensation. Therefore, the Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors. The presented non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that management does not believe reflect the Company’s core operating performance because such items are outside the control of the Company or are inherently unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring, or non-cash. We have included the following non-GAAP earnings-related financial measures in this release:
- Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin: Adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes gains from antitrust litigation settlements, Turkey highly inflationary impact and LIFO expense (credit). Adjusted gross profit margin is the ratio of adjusted gross profit to total revenue. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as a supplemental measure of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Gains from antitrust litigation settlements, Turkey highly inflationary impact, and LIFO expense (credit) are excluded because the Company cannot control the amounts recognized or timing of these items. Gains from antitrust litigation settlements relate to the settlement of lawsuits that have been filed against brand pharmaceutical manufacturers alleging that the manufacturer, by itself or in concert with others, took improper actions to delay or prevent generic drugs from entering the market. LIFO expense (credit) is affected by changes in inventory quantities, product mix, and manufacturer pricing practices, which may be impacted by market and other external influences.
- Adjusted operating expenses and adjusted operating expense margin: Adjusted operating expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes acquisition-related intangibles amortization; litigation and opioid-related expenses (credit); acquisition-related deal and integration expenses; restructuring and other expenses; and goodwill impairment. Adjusted operating expense margin is the ratio of adjusted operating expenses to total revenue. Acquisition-related intangibles amortization is excluded because it is a non-cash item and does not reflect the operating performance of the acquired companies. We exclude acquisition-related deal and integration expenses and restructuring and other expenses that relate to unpredictable and/or non-recurring business activities. We exclude the amount of litigation and opioid-related expenses (credit), and the impairment of goodwill, that are unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring or non-cash in nature because we believe these exclusions facilitate the analysis of our ongoing operational performance.
- Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin: Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the same items that are described above and excluded from adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating expenses. Adjusted operating income margin is the ratio of adjusted operating income to total revenue. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as a supplemental way to evaluate the Company’s performance because the adjustments are unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring or non-cash in nature.
- Adjusted income before income taxes: Adjusted income before income taxes is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the same items that are described above and excluded from adjusted operating income. In addition, the gain (loss) on the currency remeasurement of the deferred tax asset relating to 2020 Swiss tax reform, the gain on the divestiture of non-core businesses, and the gain (loss) on the remeasurement of an equity investment are excluded from adjusted income before income taxes because these amounts are unusual, non-operating, and/or non-recurring. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it facilitates the calculation of the Company’s adjusted effective tax rate.
- Adjusted effective tax rate: Adjusted effective tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure that is determined by dividing adjusted income tax expense by adjusted income before income taxes. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it presents an effective tax rate that does not reflect unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring, or non-cash amounts or items that are outside the control of the Company.
- Adjusted income tax expense: Adjusted income tax expense is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the income tax expense associated with the same items that are described above and excluded from adjusted income before income taxes. Certain discrete tax items primarily attributable to foreign valuation allowance adjustments are also excluded from adjusted income tax expense. Further, certain expenses relating to 2020 Swiss tax reform are excluded from adjusted income tax expense. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as a supplemental way to evaluate the Company’s performance because the adjustments are unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring or non-cash in nature.
- Adjusted net income/loss attributable to noncontrolling interest: Adjusted net income/loss attributable to noncontrolling interest excludes the non-controlling interest portion of the same items described above. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it facilitates the calculation of adjusted net income attributable to the Company.
- Adjusted net income attributable to the Company: Adjusted net income attributable to the Company is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the same items that are described above. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as a supplemental way to evaluate the Company's performance because the adjustments are unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring or non-cash in nature.
- Adjusted diluted earnings per share: Adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes the per share impact of adjustments including gains from antitrust litigation settlements; Turkey highly inflationary impact; LIFO expense (credit); acquisition-related intangibles amortization; litigation and opioid expenses (credit); acquisition-related deal and integration expenses; restructuring and other expenses; impairment of goodwill; the gain on the divestiture of non-core businesses; the gain (loss) on the currency remeasurement related to 2020 Swiss tax reform; and the gain (loss) on the remeasurement of an equity investment, in each case net of the tax effect calculated using the applicable effective tax rate for those items. In addition, the per share impact of certain discrete tax items primarily attributable to an adjustment of a foreign valuation allowance, and the per share impact of certain expenses related to 2020 Swiss tax reform are also excluded from adjusted diluted earnings per share. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the per share impact of the items that are outside the control of the Company or that we consider to not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring, or non-cash nature.
- Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities, excluding significant unpredictable or non-recurring cash payments or receipts relating to legal settlements, minus capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is used internally by management for measuring operating cash flow generation and setting performance targets and has historically been used as one of the means of providing guidance on possible future cash flows. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, adjusted free cash flow of $3,064.3 million consisted of net cash provided by operating activities of $3,484.7 million plus $237.7 million for the prepayment of a future obligation as permitted under our opioid settlement agreements, minus capital expenditures of $487.2 million and the gains from antitrust litigation settlements of $170.9 million. The Company does not provide forward looking guidance on a GAAP basis for free cash flow because the timing and amount of favorable and unfavorable settlements excluded from this metric, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, are unavailable and cannot be reasonably estimated.
In our slide presentation for investors, the Company also presents revenue and operating income on a “constant currency” basis, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These amounts are calculated by translating current period GAAP results at the foreign currency exchange rates used in the comparable period in the prior year. The Company presents such constant currency financial information because it has significant operations outside of the United States reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and management believes that this presentation provides a framework to assess how its business performed excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, (i) revenue of $79.1 billion was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $164.5 million, resulting in revenue on a constant currency basis of $79.2 billion, and (ii) operating income of $851.1 million was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $1.1 million, resulting in operating income on a constant currency basis of $852.2 million. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 in the International Healthcare Solutions segment, (i) revenue of $7.4 billion was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $164.5 million, resulting in revenue on a constant currency basis of $7.5 billion, and (ii) operating income of $153.7 million was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $1.1 million, resulting in operating income on a constant currency basis of $154.8 million. For fiscal 2024, (i) revenue of $294.0 billion was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $995.9 million, resulting in revenue on a constant currency basis of $295.0 billion, and (ii) operating income of $3.6 billion was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $38.8 million, resulting in operating income on a constant currency basis of $3.7 billion. For fiscal 2024 in the International Healthcare Solutions segment, (i) revenue of $28.6 billion was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $995.9 million, resulting in revenue on a constant currency basis of $29.6 billion, and (ii) operating income of $713.4 million was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $38.8 million, resulting in operating income on a constant currency basis of $752.2 million.
In addition, the Company has provided non-GAAP fiscal year 2025 guidance for diluted earnings per share, operating income, effective income tax rate and free cash flow that excludes the same or similar items as those that are excluded from the historical non-GAAP financial measures, as well as significant items that are outside the control of the Company or inherently unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring or non-cash in nature. The Company does not provide forward looking guidance on a GAAP basis for such metrics because certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated. For example, LIFO expense/credit is largely dependent upon the future inflation or deflation of brand and generic pharmaceuticals, which is out of the Company’s control, and acquisition-related intangibles amortization depends on the timing and amount of future acquisitions, which cannot be reasonably estimated. Similarly, the timing and amount of favorable and unfavorable settlements, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, are unavailable and cannot be reasonably estimated.
