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 2023, revenue was $68.9 billion, up 12.7 percent compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, reflecting a 13.0 percent increase in revenue within U.S. Healthcare Solutions and a 9.5 percent increase in revenue within International Healthcare Solutions.
  • Gross Profit: Gross profit in the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter was $2.3 billion, a 13.5 percent increase compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year primarily due to increases in gross profit in both reportable segments and gains from antitrust litigation settlements in the current year quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 3.27 percent, an increase of 2 basis points from the prior year quarter.
  • Operating Expenses: In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, operating expenses were $1.8 billion, up 16.0 percent from the same period last fiscal year, primarily driven by increases in distribution, selling, and administrative expenses, and amortization expense compared to the prior year quarter. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue in the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter were 2.58 percent compared to 2.50 percent for the same period in the previous fiscal year.
  • Operating Income: In the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter, operating income was $476.9 million, up 4.9 percent compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year due to the increase in gross profit, offset in part by the increase in operating expenses. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 0.69 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 0.74 percent for the same period in the previous fiscal year.
  • Interest Expense, Net: In the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter, net interest expense of $60.9 million increased 18.3 percent versus the prior year quarter primarily due to increases in intra-period variable-rate borrowings and associated interest rates, offset in part by an increase in interest income as a result of higher investment interest rates.
  • Effective Tax Rate: The effective tax rate was 21.8 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. This compares to 21.9 percent in the prior year quarter.
  • Diluted Earnings Per Share: Diluted earnings per share was $1.72 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, up 22.9 percent compared to the previous fiscal year fourth quarter.
  • Diluted Shares Outstanding: Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 were 203.4 million, a decrease of 3.1 percent versus the prior fiscal year fourth quarter primarily as a result of share repurchases.

Fourth Quarter Adjusted (non-GAAP) Results

  • Revenue: No adjustments were made to the GAAP presentation of revenue. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, revenue was $68.9 billion, up 12.7 percent compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, reflecting a 13.0 percent increase in revenue within U.S. Healthcare Solutions and a 9.5 percent increase in revenue within International Healthcare Solutions. On a constant currency basis, International Healthcare Solutions' revenue was up 10.1 percent.
  • Adjusted Gross Profit: Adjusted gross profit in the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter was $2.3 billion, a 9.4 percent increase compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year due to an increase in gross profit in both reportable segments. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 3.34 percent in the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter, a decrease of 10 basis points when compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was due to the decline of U.S. Healthcare Solutions' gross profit margin as a result of increased sales of products labeled for diabetes and/or weight loss in the GLP-1 class, which have lower gross profit margins, and lower sales of government-owned COVID-19 treatments, which have higher gross profit margins.
  • Adjusted Operating Expenses: In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, adjusted operating expenses were $1.5 billion, an increase of 10.2 percent compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year primarily due to an increase in distribution, selling, and administrative expenses compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of revenue in the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter was 2.18 percent, a decrease of 5 basis points when compared to the prior year quarter.
  • Adjusted Operating Income: In the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter, adjusted operating income of $801.0 million increased 8.0 percent from the prior year quarter due to a 9.4 percent increase in U.S. Healthcare Solutions' operating income and a 3.1 percent increase in operating income within International Healthcare Solutions. On a constant currency basis, the Company’s adjusted operating income increased 8.2 percent compared to the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, International Healthcare Solutions segment operating income increased 4.0 percent. Adjusted operating income as a percentage of revenue was 1.16 percent in the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter, a decrease of 5 basis points when compared to the prior year quarter.
  • Interest Expense, Net: No adjustments were made to the GAAP presentation of net interest expense. In the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter, net interest expense of $60.9 million increased 18.3 percent versus the prior year quarter primarily due to increases in intra-period variable-rate borrowings and associated interest rates, offset in part by an increase in interest income as a result of higher investment interest rates.
  • Adjusted Effective Tax Rate: The adjusted effective tax rate was 21.6 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 19.8 percent in the prior year quarter.
  • Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share: Adjusted diluted earnings per share was up 10.0 percent to $2.86 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $2.60 in the previous fiscal year fourth quarter.
  • Diluted Shares Outstanding: No adjustments were made to the GAAP presentation of diluted shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 were 203.4 million, a decrease of 3.1 percent versus the prior fiscal year fourth quarter primarily as a result of share repurchases.

Segment Discussion

The Company is organized geographically based upon the products and services it provides to its customers under two reportable segments: U.S. Healthcare Solutions and International Healthcare Solutions.

U.S. Healthcare Solutions Segment

U.S. Healthcare Solutions revenue was $61.9 billion, an increase of 13.0 percent compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year primarily due to overall market growth primarily driven by unit volume growth, including increased sales of products labeled for diabetes and/or weight loss in the GLP-1 class and increased sales of specialty products to physician practices and health systems. Segment operating income of $632.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was up 9.4 percent compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year as a result of an increase in gross profit of 6.3%, offset in part by an increase in operating expenses of 4.1%.

International Healthcare Solutions

Revenue in International Healthcare Solutions was $7.0 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, an increase of 9.5 percent compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to increased revenue across its businesses. Operating income within International Healthcare Solutions increased 3.1 percent to $168.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 due to growth at its global specialty logistics business and the January 2023 acquisition of PharmaLex, offset in part by a significant decline at its less-than-wholly-owned Alliance Healthcare subsidiary in Egypt. Cencora recently completed the divestiture of its stake in its subsidiary in Egypt and the results of the business will no longer be consolidated beginning in fiscal 2024. On a constant currency basis, International Healthcare Solutions revenue and operating income increased by 10.1 percent and 4.0 percent, respectively.

Summary Fiscal Year GAAP Results

In fiscal year 2023, GAAP diluted EPS was $8.53 compared to $8.04 in the prior fiscal year. Revenue increased 9.9 percent from last fiscal year to $262.2 billion. Gross profit increased 8.0 percent to $9.0 billion due to increases in gross profit in both reportable segments, and an increase in gains from antitrust litigation settlements, partially offset by an increase in LIFO expense in the current fiscal year. Operating expenses increased 11.6 percent primarily due to an increase in distribution, selling, and administrative expenses, amortization expense and restructuring and other expenses, offset in part by a litigation and opioid-related credit in the current fiscal year in comparison to an expense in the prior fiscal year and the prior fiscal year included a goodwill impairment. Operating income decreased 1.1 percent due to higher operating expenses, largely offset by higher gross profit. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding in fiscal 2023 were 204.6 million, down 3.1 percent from the prior fiscal year primarily due to share repurchases.

Summary Fiscal Year Adjusted (non-GAAP) Results

In fiscal year 2023, adjusted diluted EPS was $11.99 compared to $11.03 in the prior fiscal year. Revenue increased 9.9 percent to $262.2 billion. Adjusted gross profit increased 7.3 percent to $9.0 billion due to the increases in gross profit in both reportable segments. Adjusted operating expenses increased 9.2 percent to $5.7 billion primarily due to an increase in distribution, selling, and administrative expenses. Adjusted operating income increased 4.0 percent to $3.3 billion due to increases in gross profit in both reportable segments, offset in part by increased operating expenses. Adjusted operating income margin decreased by 8 basis points to 1.25 percent, primarily due to increased sales of sales of products labeled for diabetes and/or weight loss in the GLP-1 class, which have lower gross profit margins, and lower sales of government-owned COVID-19 treatments, which have higher gross profit margins, and a negative impact of foreign currency rates in comparison to the prior fiscal year. On a constant currency basis, revenue and adjusted operating income grew 10.9 percent and 6.0 percent, respectively.

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; impairment of assets; 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 assets, including 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 sale of non-core businesses, and the gain 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 benefits primarily attributable to foreign valuation allowance adjustments are also excluded from adjusted income tax expense. Further, certain expenses relating 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 assets, including goodwill; the gain on the sale of non-core businesses; the gain (loss) on the currency remeasurement related to 2020 Swiss tax reform; and the gain 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 expense primarily attributable to foreign valuation adjustment 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, 2023, adjusted free cash flow of $3,130.5 million consisted of net cash provided by operating activities of $3,911.3 million, minus capital expenditures of $458.4 million, the gains from antitrust litigation settlements of $239.1 million, and the receipt of $83.4 million from the H.D. Smith opioid indemnity escrow. 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.

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 2023, (i) revenue of $68.9 billion was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $37.6 million, resulting in revenue on a constant currency basis of $69.0 billion, and (ii) operating income of $801.0 million was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $1.5 million, resulting in operating income on a constant currency basis of $802.5 million. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 in the International Healthcare Solutions segment, (i) revenue of $6,994.7 million was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $37.6 million, resulting in revenue on a constant currency basis of $7,032.3 million, and (ii) operating income of $168.2 million was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $1.5 million, resulting in operating income on a constant currency basis of $169.6 million. For fiscal 2023, (i) revenue of $262.2 billion was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $2.4 billion, resulting in revenue on a constant currency basis of $264.5 billion, and (ii) operating income of $3,289.1 million was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $63.0 million, resulting in operating income on a constant currency basis of $3,352.1 million. For fiscal 2023 in the International Healthcare Solutions segment, (i) revenue of $27.4 billion was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $2.4 billion, resulting in revenue on a constant currency basis of $29.8 billion, and (ii) operating income of $692.6 million was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of $63.0 million, resulting in operating income on a constant currency basis of $755.6 million.

In addition, the Company has provided non-GAAP fiscal year 2024 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.
