McKesson delivered another outstanding performance in fiscal
year 2008. Our company’s ability to build and maintain strong customer
relationships and sustain continued operational excellence propelled us to
above-market revenue and earnings growth. We also made key investments
and leveraged our diverse assets to expand our range of service and
product offerings to deliver innovative solutions for our customers.
To Our Stockholders:
Extending our track record of superior
stockholder returns
Fiscal year 2008 was a year of milestones for McKesson. In
January, we marked our 175th anniversary, a distinction rarely
achieved in American business. Our revenues grew 9% to
reach $101.7 billion, exceeding $100 billion for the first time.
Perhaps most gratifying, we received numerous awards and
significant recognition from our customers and industry groups
for our superior service and solutions. I am very proud of our
employees, whose efforts made these achievements possible.
Our progress in fiscal year 2008 continued our track record
of superior financial performance and stockholder returns.
During the five-year period ending March 31, 2008, both our
revenues and earnings per share (EPS) grew at a compound
annual growth rate exceeding 8%. Over that time, McKesson’s
stock price more than doubled, outperforming both the S&P
500 Index and the Value Line Health Care Index. McKesson’s
stock price has also outperformed the shares of all other major
pharmaceutical wholesalers since October 2004.
Our financial strength over the past three years enabled us
to make three major investments that create opportunities to
increase stockholder value. In fiscal year 2008, we significantly
enhanced our presence in the fastest-growing sector of the phar-
maceutical market by acquiring Oncology Therapeutics Network
(OTN), a leading distributor of specialty pharmaceuticals. In 2007,
we made our largest acquisition since 1999 by joining forces with
Per-Se Technologies, Inc. (Per-Se), gaining a collection of financial
and administrative solutions for hospitals, physicians and retail
pharmacies. Our acquisition of D&K Healthcare Resources (D&K)
in fiscal year 2006 expanded our footprint among independent
pharmacies in the Midwest. These are prominent examples of
investments that create new avenues of growth and enhance the
value we deliver to customers and stockholders.
Drawing on our formidable array of assets, we are serving
customers in ways that truly set McKesson apart in the market-
place. We are the healthcare industry’s most complete solution
provider, with the ability to deliver distribution and supply chain
services, software solutions, claims processing capabilities,
consulting services, pharmacy management systems, hospital
automation, disease management programs and many other
innovative offerings that satisfy our customers’ needs. We are
combining our capabilities in bold new ways to create unique,
innovative solutions that expand and redefine the segments in
which we compete and drive improvements across the entire
healthcare spectrum.
Building mutually rewarding
relationships with our customers
and manufacturer partners
At McKesson, we succeed when our customers succeed. Our abil-
ity to build mutually rewarding, long-term relationships with
our customers leads to future business opportunities and superior
returns for our stockholders. We take pride in the value we
deliver to our customers and are particularly gratified when they
acknowledge the role we play in their success. In Distribution
Solutions this past year, our U.S. Pharmaceutical business
renewed agreements with CVS Caremark, Rite Aid, Safeway,
Cigna, Humana and Costco. We also received “Business Partner
of the Year” honors from Kinney Drugs. In the hospital seg-
ment, we were the only wholesaler to receive the “2008 VHA
Service Excellence Award,” as recognized by VHA’s member-
ship, which includes 28% of the nation’s community-owned,
not-for-profit hospitals, and by the leadership team of Novation, the nation’s largest
hospital group purchasing organization. On the Technology Solutions side of our
business, 18 McKesson products were rated in the top three in their categories in the
2007 “Year-End Top 20: Best in KLAS Awards” report issued by KLAS Enterprises, an
independent monitor of healthcare information technology vendors.
Our manufacturer partners who produce branded and generic pharmaceuticals recognize
the integral role McKesson plays in the overall supply chain. The majority of our U.S.
pharmaceutical distribution agreements with manufacturers are structured to ensure
that we are compensated for the services we provide. These agreements provide a
significant source of stable, predictable revenue to McKesson and tremendous value to
pharmaceutical manufacturers. McKesson is continually focused on expanding these
relationships beyond distribution to include anti-counterfeit pedigree solutions, clinical
trial sourcing, streamlined shipping and other strategic programs that help manufacturers
grow profits and cut costs.
As we move into fiscal year 2009 and beyond, McKesson has never been stronger
or more capable. Our 175th anniversary theme — Taking Care Forward — celebrates
our proud healthcare legacy while focusing attention on the future and the remarkable
opportunities we have at McKesson. Healthcare has reached a critical point, and
we are uniquely qualified to make a difference through our unparalleled capabilities,
longstanding customer relationships and strong competitive position in the markets
we serve. Our mission is to advance the healthcare system by advancing the success
of our partners, and we are fulfilling this mission across every customer segment.
Helping pharmacists play an expanded role in care delivery
Today, pharmacies face unprecedented challenges posed by declining reimbursements,
new federal and state regulations, and increasing competition. With our expertise and
solutions, we are helping pharmacies navigate these challenges while helping them
operate more efficiently and effectively. In doing so, we help free pharmacists to
devote more time and attention to providing care, and we empower them to earn
new sources of revenue by delivering expanded clinical services.
“We are combining our capabilities in bold new
ways to create unique, innovative solutions that
expand and redefine the segments in which
we compete and drive improvements across the
entire healthcare spectrum.”

HEALTH MART STORES (at fiscal year end)
FACTS
– We deliver more than $1 billion in
medicines to pharmacies, hospitals,
physician offices, and other health-
care sites every week — one-third
of the medicines used each day in
North America.
– We distribute more than 150,000
medical-surgical products — ranging
from gloves and bandages, to surgi-
cal lasers, to flu vaccines — to more
than 300,000 physician offices and
other customers.
– Our bar-code scanning solutions
in hospitals prevent 700,000
medication errors every week.
– We help insurers, including the top
25 managed care organizations, pay
claims accurately and faster for more
than 160 million plan members.
– Physicians log onto our physician portal
3.7 million times per month to gain
secure access to their patients’ records.
Our Health Mart®
franchise offers comprehensive solutions that
help independent pharmacies attract new business, maximize
the value of existing customer relationships and enhance
operational efficiency. In fiscal year 2008, Health Mart grew
by more than 600 new stores, bringing the total to more
than 1,850. The growth of Health Mart contributed to
another excellent year for our generics business, which grew
sales by 11%, significantly above overall market growth for
generics. We have expanded our industry-leading OneStop
Generics®
program to serve regional chains and hospital group
purchasing organizations.
For larger pharmacies and chains, McKesson invests in
strategic programs like central fill, bulk repackaging and
pharmacy management systems to help our customers maximize
their operational and financial success. The acquisition of Per-Se
significantly enhanced our pharmacy systems offering by
providing a new, contemporary software platform for retail
chain and mail order customers. We support all pharmacy
customers with a robust infrastructure that includes Supply
Management Online, our customer Internet portal that accounts
for more than $2 billion in pharmaceutical orders each month.
Our RelayHealth intelligent network processes 70% of all retail
pharmacy claims nationwide.
We continue to build and strengthen relationships within the
pharmacy segment by combining our assets in unique ways
to help pharmacists and patients. Formed last year, McKesson
Patient Relationship Solutions (MPRS) engages pharmacists
in using their counseling skills to help patients stay on their
prescribed medications. MPRS provides 225 adherence pro-
grams that are supported by more than 50 pharmaceutical
manufacturers. One feature of this program, our LoyaltyScript®
card, is used by 11,000 patients each day. We are also
encouraged by our Medication Therapy Management pilot
program, a unique service that strengthens communications
among pharmacists, physicians and payors to improve patient
outcomes by helping patients increase medication adherence
and reduce adverse drug events.
Connecting hospital caregivers for a
safer, more patient-focused experience
McKesson continues to extend its lead in providing hospitals
with solutions that improve quality and patient safety, reduce
the cost and variability of care, and improve resource and
financial management. We are the only company with a com-
plete suite of patient-safety solutions from the loading dock to
the patient bedside. We are also benefiting from opportunities
in our growing roster of “One McKesson” customers who use
our products and services to address multiple needs through
the combination of McKesson-provided information technology,
automation and pharmaceutical distribution solutions.
One of these customers is St. Luke’s Episcopal Healthcare
System in Houston, which recently added extensive new
clinical IT functionality to its three hospitals and 18 clinics.
St. Luke’s also added more than 300 McKesson AcuDose-Rx®
medication dispensing cabinets, a superior, yet affordable
software and hardware solution that drives patient safety and
process efficiency. This was the largest contract ever signed in
McKesson’s automation business. St. Luke’s is also a McKesson
pharmaceutical distribution customer.
Our focus on innovation has kept our software offerings
among the highest-rated in the industry. In fact, over the past
three years, we have had 20 products ranked within the KLAS
top three, several of which have received either a “Best in
KLAS” or a “Category Leadership” designation multiple times.
Helping physicians deliver better care
and improve practice performance
With the acquisitions of Per-Se, Practice Partner®
and OTN over
the past two years, we have significantly expanded our customer
base and solution set in the physician office segment. We now
deliver a full range of solutions to physicians, from medical
supplies, equipment and vaccines, to electronic medical record
“Drawing on our formidable array of assets, we are serving customers in
ways that truly set McKesson apart in the marketplace.”
and practice management software, to outsourced billing and
collections services.
A portion of the assets we acquired from Per-Se helped us
form RelayHealth, McKesson’s “connectivity” business, which
provides powerful capabilities to each one of our customer
segments. In the physician segment, RelayHealth facilitates
ePrescribing and online patient-doctor consultations known
as webVisits®
, innovations that provide cost and efficiency
benefits to physicians and improve patient care.
Strengthening our position in the fast-growing specialty
pharmaceutical market, the OTN acquisition expanded our
physician customer base by almost 6,000 oncologists, rheu-
matologists and other providers. We also gained OTN’s
state-of-the-art Lynx®
technology platform that automates
practice management for oncologists and other physicians.
Helping payors provide their members
with the best, most cost-effective care
In our payor business, we offer a range of services to the public
and private sectors that help manage the cost and quality
of care. We are the largest provider of disease management
programs to state Medicaid agencies, helping millions of people
with chronic diseases lead longer, healthier lives. In the private
sector, we provide clinical decision support tools to health plans,
employers and large medical groups that help create better
health outcomes for their members.
We renewed all expiring disease management contracts in fiscal
year 2008, a strong validation of the value we deliver to both
payors and patients. For example, working with the Illinois
Department of Healthcare and Family Services, we helped
the state of Illinois achieve nearly $34 million in net savings in
one year.
On the software side of our payor business, the contracts we
signed with Aetna and CIGNA were the two largest in the
history of that business. Altogether we serve more than 85% of
payors and continue to sell these customers new products and
services that strengthen the relationships we have with them.
Hospitals also use these products. Last year, 300 hospitals
signed contracts to use InterQual®
Criteria, our suite of industry-
leading clinical decision support tools. This represents a 40%
increase over the previous year.
Executing our strategy for stockholder
value creation
Our strong operating performance has produced significant
cash flow from operations, strengthening our balance sheet
and enabling us to pursue a more aggressive strategy for
stockholder value creation. Taking a portfolio approach to
capital deployment over the past three years, we have spent
$8 billion to reshape the organization in a manner that is
consistent with our evolving strategy.
From fiscal year 2006 through 2008, we completed a total of
$3.1 billion in strategic acquisitions. Many of these were smaller
acquisitions that enhanced our value proposition to customers
in both distribution and information technology. Our larger
acquisitions, including D&K, OTN and Per-Se, created opportu-
nities for us to broaden our portfolio of innovative solutions and
deliver them to an expanded customer base.
Recently, we announced two new acquisitions that advance
our long-term strategy. In May, we acquired McQueary
Brothers Drug Company, a regional distributor to more than
400 independent and regional chain pharmacies in the
Midwest. This acquisition expands McKesson’s distribution
footprint in the independent pharmacy segment and provides
fertile, new ground for growing the Health Mart franchise and
expanding the McKesson OneStop Generics program. And in
Technology Solutions, we acquired Rosebud Solutions (Rosebud),
a provider of software to track and manage instruments, endo-
scopes, tissue implants and other hospital assets. Rosebud’s
“As we move into fiscal year 2009 and beyond, McKesson has never been
stronger or more capable.”
Summary and Outlook
The fundamentals of our business are stronger than ever. Across the
full range of our operations, we have not seen the impact of a slowing
economy or tightening credit markets. We had strong top-line growth in
both Distribution Solutions and Technology Solutions in fiscal year 2008,
and while revenue growth rates have slowed, we maintain a positive
outlook for fiscal year 2009.
Celebrating our 175th anniversary is an occasion for all of us at McKesson
to reflect on our history of achievement in healthcare. We are very proud
of the role we have played in the advancement of this important industry.
As we move into fiscal year 2009 and the next chapter in our legacy, our
business has tremendous momentum.
We’re very pleased with our progress, but we’re not stopping here. Our
goal is to continually exceed the expectations of our customers, employees
and stockholders. Our financial stability, unparalleled product mix and
enviable customer base position McKesson for continued leadership and
success in the years ahead. We believe the best is yet to come — for
McKesson, our customers and the healthcare system as a whole.
I would like to thank our employees for their hard work and commitment,
our customers for their loyalty and partnership, our suppliers for their
collaborative approach and dedication to our mutual success, and our
stockholders for their continued support.
solutions will help our customers make
healthcare safer and more cost-effective.
We are not afraid to take a hard look at
our existing businesses. Since 2006, we
have divested non-strategic or underper-
forming businesses such as the acute care
division of our Medical-Surgical business,
which we sold in fiscal year 2007, as well
as our pharmacy outsourcing business,
McKesson Medication Management,
the bulk of which we divested in April
2008. We regularly review our portfolio
of assets to determine the optimal mix for
future value creation.
Our portfolio approach to capital deploy-
ment has included an aggressive share
repurchase program. Over the past
three years, we have repurchased $3.7
billion of outstanding McKesson com-
mon stock. Based on our positive out-
look for the business, in April 2008
the Board of Directors authorized an
additional $1 billion share repurchase
program, bringing the total authoriza-
tion then available to $1.3 billion. We
are also committed to returning capital
to stockholders, and earlier this year, the
Board approved a policy to double our
quarterly dividend from 6 cents to 12
cents per share.

Our U.S. pharmaceutical distribution business operates and serves thousands of customer locations through a
network of 29 distribution centers, as well as a master redistribution center, a strategic redistribution center and two
repackaging facilities, serving all 50 states and Puerto Rico. We invest in technology and other systems at all of our
distribution centers to enhance safety, reliability and the best product availability for our customers. For example, in
all of our distribution centers we use Acumax® Plus, a Smithsonian award-winning technology, which integrates
and tracks all internal functions, such as receiving, put-away and order fulfillment. Acumax Plus uses bar code
technology, wrist-mounted computer hardware, and radio frequency signals to provide our customers with real-time
product availability and industry-leading order quality and fulfillment in excess of 99.9% accuracy. In addition, we
offer Mobile ManagerSM
, which integrates portable handheld technology with Acumax Plus to give customers
complete ordering and inventory control. We also offer Supply Management OnlineSM

provides item look-up and real-time inventory availability as well as ordering, purchasing, third-party reconciliation
and account management functionality. Together, these features help ensure that our customers have the right
products at the right time for their facilities and patients.
To maximize distribution efficiency and effectiveness, we follow the Six Sigma methodology — an analytical
approach that emphasizes setting high quality objectives, collecting data and analyzing results to a fine degree in
order to improve processes, reduce costs and minimize errors. Furthermore, we continue to implement information
systems to help achieve greater consistency and accuracy both internally and for our customers.

Technology Solutions
Our Technology Solutions segment provides a comprehensive portfolio of software, automation, support and
services to help healthcare organizations improve quality and patient safety, reduce the cost and variability of care
and better manage their resources and revenue stream. This segment markets its products and services to integrated
delivery networks, hospitals, physician practices, home healthcare providers, retail pharmacies and payors. This
segment also includes our Payor group of businesses, which includes our InterQual® and clinical auditing and
compliance software businesses and our disease and medical management programs. The segment sells its solutions
and services internationally through subsidiaries and/or distribution agreements in Canada, the United Kingdom,
Ireland, other European countries, Asia Pacific and Israel.
The product portfolio for the Technology Solutions segment is designed to address a wide array of healthcare
clinical and business performance needs ranging from medication safety and information access to revenue cycle
management, resource utilization and physician adoption of electronic health records (“EHR”). Analytics software
enables organizations to measure progress as they automate care processes for optimal clinical outcomes, business
and operating results, and regulatory compliance. To ensure that organizations achieve the maximum value for their
information technology investment, the Technology Solutions segment also offers a wide range of services to
support the implementation and use of solutions as well as assist with business and clinical redesign, process re-
engineering and staffing (both information technology and back-office).
Key solution areas are as follows:
Clinical management: Horizon Clinicals® is built with architecture to facilitate integration and enable modular
system deployment. It includes a clinical data repository, clinical decision support/physician order entry, point-of-
care documentation with bar-coded medication administration, enterprise laboratory, radiology, pharmacy, surgical
management, an emergency department solution and an ambulatory EHR system. Horizon Clinicals® also includes
solutions to facilitate physician access to patient information such as a Web-based physician portal and wireless
devices that draw on information from the hospital’s information systems. In addition, the Horizon Clinicals® suite
includes a comprehensive solution for homecare, including telehealth and hospice.
Enterprise imaging: In addition to document imaging to facilitate maintenance and access to complete medical
records, the segment provides a suite of enterprise medical imaging and information management systems, including
a picture archiving communications system and a comprehensive cardiovascular information system. The segment’s
enterprise-wide approach to medical imaging enables organizations to take advantage of specialty-specific
workstations while building an integrated image repository that manages all of the images and information captured
throughout the care continuum.
Financial management: The segment’s revenue cycle solutions are designed to reduce days in accounts
receivable, prevent insurance claim denials, reduce costs and improve productivity. Examples of solutions include
online patient billing, contract management, electronic claims processing and coding compliance checking. The
segment’s hospital information systems play a key role in managing the revenue cycle by automating the operation
of individual departments and their respective functions within the inpatient environment.
Resource management: Resource management solutions consist of an integrated suite of applications that
enhance an organization’s ability to plan and optimize the delivery of quality patient care. These solutions automate
the management of the workforce, supply chain, surgical and anesthesia documentation, and provide analytics for
performance measurement. Linking resource requirements to care protocols, the resource management solutions
enhance predictability, improve communication, reduce variability and lower overall costs associated with care
delivery.
Automation: Automation solutions include technologies that help hospitals re-engineer and improve their
medication use and supply management processes. Examples include centralized pharmacy automation for unit-
dose medications, unit-based cabinet technologies for secure medication storage and rapid retrieval, point-of-use
supply automation systems for inventory management and revenue capture, and an automated medication
administration system for ensuring accuracy at the point of care. Based on a foundation of bar-code scanning
technology, these integrated solutions are designed to reduce errors and bring new levels of safety to patients.

Physician practice solutions: The segment provides a complete solution for physician practices of all sizes that
includes software, revenue cycle outsourcing and connectivity services. Software solutions include practice
management and EHR software for physicians of every size, specialty or geographic location. The segment’s
physician practice offering also includes outsourced billing and collection services as well as services that connect
physicians with their patients, hospitals, retail pharmacies and payors. Revenue cycle outsourcing enables physician
groups to avoid the infrastructure investment and administrative costs of their own in-house billing office. Services
include clinical data collection, data input, medical coding, billing, contract management, cash collections, accounts
receivable management and extensive reporting of metrics related to the physician practice.
Connectivity: Through the segment’s vendor-neutral RelayHealth® and its “intelligent” network, the company
provides interactive solutions that streamline clinical, financial and administrative communication between patients,
providers, payors, pharmacies and financial institutions. RelayHealth helps to accelerate the delivery of high-quality
care and improve financial performance through online consultation of physicians by patients, electronic prescribing
by physicians, point-of-service resolution of pharmacy claims by payors, pre-visit financial clearance of patients by
providers and post-visit settlement of provider bills by payors and patients. RelayHealth securely processes more
than 12 billion financial and clinical transactions annually.
In addition to the product offerings described above, the Technology Solutions segment offers a comprehensive
range of services to help organizations derive greater value, enhance satisfaction and return on investment

Competition
In every area of healthcare distribution operations, our Distribution Solutions segment faces strong competition,
both in price and service, from national, regional and local full-line, short-line and specialty wholesalers, service
merchandisers, self-warehousing chains, manufacturers engaged in direct distribution and large payor organizations.
In addition, this segment faces competition from various other service providers and from pharmaceutical and other
healthcare manufacturers (as well as other potential customers of the segment) which may from time to time decide
to develop, for their own internal needs, supply management capabilities provided by the segment. Price, quality of
service, and in some cases, convenience to the customer are generally the principal competitive elements in this
segment.
Our Technology Solutions segment experiences substantial competition from many firms, including other
computer services firms, consulting firms, shared service vendors, certain hospitals and hospital groups, hardware
vendors and Internet-based companies with technology applicable to the healthcare industry. Competition varies in
size from small to large companies, in geographical coverage and in scope and breadth of products and services
offered.

Other Information About the Business
Customers: In recent years, a significant portion of our revenue growth has been with a limited number of large
customers. During 2008, sales to our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 53% of our total
consolidated revenues. Sales to our two largest customers, CVS Caremark Corporation (“Caremark,”) and Rite Aid
Corporation (“Rite Aid”) accounted for 14% and 13% of our total consolidated revenues. At March 31, 2008,
accounts receivable from our ten largest customers were approximately 43% of total accounts receivable. Accounts
receivable from Caremark and Rite Aid were approximately 12% and 11% of total accounts receivable.
Substantially all of these revenues and accounts receivable are included in our Distribution Solutions segment.
Suppliers: We obtain pharmaceutical and other products from manufacturers, none of which accounted for
more than approximately 9% of our purchases in 2008. The loss of a supplier could adversely affect our business if
alternate sources of supply are unavailable. We believe that our relationships with our suppliers on the whole are
good. The ten largest suppliers in 2008 accounted for approximately 48% of our purchases.
A significant portion of our distribution arrangements with the manufacturers provides us compensation based
on a percentage of our purchases. However, we also have certain distribution arrangements with manufacturers that
include an inflation-based compensation component whereby we benefit when the manufacturers increase their
prices as we sell our inventory being held at the new higher prices. For these manufacturers, a reduction in the
frequency and magnitude of price increases, as well as restrictions in the amount of inventory available to us, could
adversely impact our gross profit margin. In 2008 and 2007, we benefited from certain branded manufacturers’
price increases on selected drugs.
Research and Development: Our development expenditures primarily consist of our investment in software
development held for sale. We expended $420 million, $359 million and $285 million for development activities in
2008, 2007 and 2006, and of these amounts, we capitalized 17%, 21% and 22%. Development expenditures are
primarily incurred by our Technology Solutions segment. Our Technology Solutions segment’s product
development efforts apply computer technology and installation methodologies to specific information processing
needs of hospitals and other customers. We believe a substantial and sustained commitment to such expenditures is
important to the long-term success of this business. Additional information regarding our development activities is
included in Financial Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, “Significant Accounting Policies,” appearing
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Environmental Regulation: We sold our chemical distribution operations in 1987 and retained responsibility for
certain environmental obligations. Agreements with the Environmental Protection Agency and certain states may
require environmental assessments and cleanups at several closed sites. These matters are described further in
Financial Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, “Other Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,”
appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than any expenditures that may be required in connection
with those legal matters, we do not anticipate making substantial capital expenditures either for environmental
issues, or to comply with environmental laws and regulations in the future. The amount of our capital expenditures
for environmental compliance was not material in 2008 and is not expected to be material in the next year.
Employees: On March 31, 2008, we employed approximately 32,900 persons compared to 31,800 in 2007 and
26,400 in 2006.
Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations: Information as to foreign and domestic
operations is included in Financial Notes 1 and 21 to the consolidated financial statements, “Significant Accounting
Policies” and “Segments of Business,” appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

by the Company’s stockholders on July 27, 2005. The 2005 Stock Plan initially provided for the grant of up to 13
million shares in the form of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance shares and other share-based awards. The 2005 Stock Plan
was subsequently amended by the Board of Directors on May 23, 2007 to increase the common stock reserved for
issuance by 15 million shares, which was approved by stockholders on July 25, 2007. For any one share of common
stock issued in connection with a stock-settled stock appreciation right, restricted stock award, restricted stock unit
award, performance share or other share-based award, two shares shall be deducted from the shares available for
future grants. Shares of common stock not issued or delivered as a result of the net exercise of a stock appreciation
right or option, shares used to pay the withholding taxes related to a stock award, or shares repurchased on the open
market with proceeds from the exercise of options shall not be returned to the reserve of shares available for
issuance under the 2005 Stock Plan.
Options are granted at not less than fair market value and have a term of seven years. Options generally
become exercisable in four equal annual installments beginning one year after the grant date, or after four years from
the date of grant. The award or vesting of restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or performance based
RSUs may be conditioned upon the attainment of one or more performance objectives. Vesting of such awards is
generally a three year cliff.
Non-employee directors receive an annual grant of up to 5,000 RSUs, which vest immediately; however,
payment of any shares is delayed until the director is no longer performing services for the Company. The 2005
Stock Plan replaced the 1997 Non-Employee Directors Equity Compensation and Deferral Plan.
2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”): The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock
purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. In March 2002, the Board
amended the ESPP to allow for participation in the plan by employees of certain of the Company’s international and
certain other subsidiaries. As to those employees, the ESPP does not so qualify under Section 423 of the Internal
Revenue Code. Currently, 16.1 million shares have been approved by stockholders for issuance under the ESPP.
McKESSON CORPORATION
17
The ESPP is implemented through a continuous series of three-month purchase periods (“Purchase Periods”)
during which contributions can be made toward the purchase of common stock under the plan.
Each eligible employee may elect to authorize regular payroll deductions during the next succeeding Purchase
Period, the amount of which may not exceed 15% of a participant’s compensation. At the end of each Purchase
Period, the funds withheld by each participant will be used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.
The purchase price of each share of the Company’s common stock is based on 85% of the fair market value of each
share on the last day of the applicable Purchase Period. In general, the maximum number of shares of common
stock that may be purchased by a participant for each calendar year is determined by dividing $25,000 by the fair
market value of one share of common stock on the offering date.
The following are descriptions of equity plans that have not been submitted for approval by the Company’s
stockholders:
On July 27, 2005, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2005 Stock Plan which had the effect of
terminating the 1999 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, the 1998 Canadian Stock Incentive Plan, the Stock
Option Plans adopted in January 1999 and August 1999, which plans had not been submitted for approval by the
Company’s stockholders, and the 1997 Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Compensation and Deferral Plan, which
had previously been approved by the Company’s stockholders. Prior grants under these plans include stock options,
restricted stock and RSUs. Stock options under the terminated plans generally have a ten-year life and vest over
four years. Restricted stock contains certain restrictions on transferability and may not be transferred until such
restrictions lapse. Each of these plans has outstanding equity grants, which are subject to the terms and conditions
of their respective plans, but no new grants will be made under these terminated plans.

Revenues increased 9% to $101.7 billion and 7% to $93.0 billion in 2008 and 2007. The increase in revenues
primarily reflects market growth rates in our Distribution Solutions segment, which accounted for 97% of our
consolidated revenues. Revenues for 2008 also benefited from our acquisitions of Oncology Therapeutics Network
(“OTN”) in October 2007 and Per-Se Technologies, Inc. (“Per-Se”) in January 2007. Revenues for 2007 also
benefited from our acquisition of D&K Healthcare Resources, Inc. (“D&K”) in August 2005.
Gross profit increased 16% to $5.0 billion in 2008 and 15% to $4.3 billion in 2007. As a percentage of
revenues, gross profit increased 27 basis points (“bp”) to 4.93% in 2008 and 32 bp to 4.66% in 2007. The increase
in our 2008 gross profit margin primarily reflects a greater proportion of higher margin Technology Solutions
products and an improvement in our Distribution Solutions’ segment margin. The increase in our 2007 gross profit
margin primarily reflects improvement in our U.S. pharmaceutical distribution business, including a decrease in our
receipt of antitrust class action lawsuits settlements. Our 2008, 2007 and 2006 gross profit includes the receipt of
$14 million, $10 million and $95 million of cash proceeds representing our share of settlements of antitrust class
action lawsuits.

  • 3. McKesson delivered another outstanding performance in fiscal year 2008. Our company’s ability to build and maintain strong customer relationships and sustain continued operational excellence propelled us to above-market revenue and earnings growth. We also made key investments and leveraged our diverse assets to expand our range of service and product offerings to deliver innovative solutions for our customers. To Our Stockholders: Extending our track record of superior stockholder returns Fiscal year 2008 was a year of milestones for McKesson. In January, we marked our 175th anniversary, a distinction rarely achieved in American business. Our revenues grew 9% to reach $101.7 billion, exceeding $100 billion for the first time. Perhaps most gratifying, we received numerous awards and significant recognition from our customers and industry groups for our superior service and solutions. I am very proud of our employees, whose efforts made these achievements possible. Our progress in fiscal year 2008 continued our track record of superior financial performance and stockholder returns. During the five-year period ending March 31, 2008, both our revenues and earnings per share (EPS) grew at a compound annual growth rate exceeding 8%. Over that time, McKesson’s stock price more than doubled, outperforming both the S&P 500 Index and the Value Line Health Care Index. McKesson’s stock price has also outperformed the shares of all other major pharmaceutical wholesalers since October 2004. Our financial strength over the past three years enabled us to make three major investments that create opportunities to increase stockholder value. In fiscal year 2008, we significantly enhanced our presence in the fastest-growing sector of the phar- maceutical market by acquiring Oncology Therapeutics Network (OTN), a leading distributor of specialty pharmaceuticals. In 2007, we made our largest acquisition since 1999 by joining forces with Per-Se Technologies, Inc. (Per-Se), gaining a collection of financial and administrative solutions for hospitals, physicians and retail pharmacies. Our acquisition of D&K Healthcare Resources (D&K) in fiscal year 2006 expanded our footprint among independent pharmacies in the Midwest. These are prominent examples of investments that create new avenues of growth and enhance the value we deliver to customers and stockholders. Drawing on our formidable array of assets, we are serving customers in ways that truly set McKesson apart in the market- place. We are the healthcare industry’s most complete solution provider, with the ability to deliver distribution and supply chain services, software solutions, claims processing capabilities, consulting services, pharmacy management systems, hospital automation, disease management programs and many other innovative offerings that satisfy our customers’ needs. We are combining our capabilities in bold new ways to create unique, innovative solutions that expand and redefine the segments in which we compete and drive improvements across the entire healthcare spectrum. Building mutually rewarding relationships with our customers and manufacturer partners At McKesson, we succeed when our customers succeed. Our abil- ity to build mutually rewarding, long-term relationships with our customers leads to future business opportunities and superior returns for our stockholders. We take pride in the value we deliver to our customers and are particularly gratified when they acknowledge the role we play in their success. In Distribution Solutions this past year, our U.S. Pharmaceutical business renewed agreements with CVS Caremark, Rite Aid, Safeway, Cigna, Humana and Costco. We also received “Business Partner of the Year” honors from Kinney Drugs. In the hospital seg- ment, we were the only wholesaler to receive the “2008 VHA Service Excellence Award,” as recognized by VHA’s member- ship, which includes 28% of the nation’s community-owned,
  • 4. not-for-profit hospitals, and by the leadership team of Novation, the nation’s largest hospital group purchasing organization. On the Technology Solutions side of our business, 18 McKesson products were rated in the top three in their categories in the 2007 “Year-End Top 20: Best in KLAS Awards” report issued by KLAS Enterprises, an independent monitor of healthcare information technology vendors. Our manufacturer partners who produce branded and generic pharmaceuticals recognize the integral role McKesson plays in the overall supply chain. The majority of our U.S. pharmaceutical distribution agreements with manufacturers are structured to ensure that we are compensated for the services we provide. These agreements provide a significant source of stable, predictable revenue to McKesson and tremendous value to pharmaceutical manufacturers. McKesson is continually focused on expanding these relationships beyond distribution to include anti-counterfeit pedigree solutions, clinical trial sourcing, streamlined shipping and other strategic programs that help manufacturers grow profits and cut costs. As we move into fiscal year 2009 and beyond, McKesson has never been stronger or more capable. Our 175th anniversary theme — Taking Care Forward — celebrates our proud healthcare legacy while focusing attention on the future and the remarkable opportunities we have at McKesson. Healthcare has reached a critical point, and we are uniquely qualified to make a difference through our unparalleled capabilities, longstanding customer relationships and strong competitive position in the markets we serve. Our mission is to advance the healthcare system by advancing the success of our partners, and we are fulfilling this mission across every customer segment. Helping pharmacists play an expanded role in care delivery Today, pharmacies face unprecedented challenges posed by declining reimbursements, new federal and state regulations, and increasing competition. With our expertise and solutions, we are helping pharmacies navigate these challenges while helping them operate more efficiently and effectively. In doing so, we help free pharmacists to devote more time and attention to providing care, and we empower them to earn new sources of revenue by delivering expanded clinical services. “We are combining our capabilities in bold new ways to create unique, innovative solutions that expand and redefine the segments in which we compete and drive improvements across the entire healthcare spectrum.” FY08FY07FY06 1,851 1,236 262 HEALTH MART STORES (at fiscal year end) FACTS – We deliver more than $1 billion in medicines to pharmacies, hospitals, physician offices, and other health- care sites every week — one-third of the medicines used each day in North America. – We distribute more than 150,000 medical-surgical products — ranging from gloves and bandages, to surgi- cal lasers, to flu vaccines — to more than 300,000 physician offices and other customers. – Our bar-code scanning solutions in hospitals prevent 700,000 medication errors every week. – We help insurers, including the top 25 managed care organizations, pay claims accurately and faster for more than 160 million plan members. – Physicians log onto our physician portal 3.7 million times per month to gain secure access to their patients’ records.
  • 5. Our Health Mart® franchise offers comprehensive solutions that help independent pharmacies attract new business, maximize the value of existing customer relationships and enhance operational efficiency. In fiscal year 2008, Health Mart grew by more than 600 new stores, bringing the total to more than 1,850. The growth of Health Mart contributed to another excellent year for our generics business, which grew sales by 11%, significantly above overall market growth for generics. We have expanded our industry-leading OneStop Generics® program to serve regional chains and hospital group purchasing organizations. For larger pharmacies and chains, McKesson invests in strategic programs like central fill, bulk repackaging and pharmacy management systems to help our customers maximize their operational and financial success. The acquisition of Per-Se significantly enhanced our pharmacy systems offering by providing a new, contemporary software platform for retail chain and mail order customers. We support all pharmacy customers with a robust infrastructure that includes Supply Management Online, our customer Internet portal that accounts for more than $2 billion in pharmaceutical orders each month. Our RelayHealth intelligent network processes 70% of all retail pharmacy claims nationwide. We continue to build and strengthen relationships within the pharmacy segment by combining our assets in unique ways to help pharmacists and patients. Formed last year, McKesson Patient Relationship Solutions (MPRS) engages pharmacists in using their counseling skills to help patients stay on their prescribed medications. MPRS provides 225 adherence pro- grams that are supported by more than 50 pharmaceutical manufacturers. One feature of this program, our LoyaltyScript® card, is used by 11,000 patients each day. We are also encouraged by our Medication Therapy Management pilot program, a unique service that strengthens communications among pharmacists, physicians and payors to improve patient outcomes by helping patients increase medication adherence and reduce adverse drug events. Connecting hospital caregivers for a safer, more patient-focused experience McKesson continues to extend its lead in providing hospitals with solutions that improve quality and patient safety, reduce the cost and variability of care, and improve resource and financial management. We are the only company with a com- plete suite of patient-safety solutions from the loading dock to the patient bedside. We are also benefiting from opportunities in our growing roster of “One McKesson” customers who use our products and services to address multiple needs through the combination of McKesson-provided information technology, automation and pharmaceutical distribution solutions. One of these customers is St. Luke’s Episcopal Healthcare System in Houston, which recently added extensive new clinical IT functionality to its three hospitals and 18 clinics. St. Luke’s also added more than 300 McKesson AcuDose-Rx® medication dispensing cabinets, a superior, yet affordable software and hardware solution that drives patient safety and process efficiency. This was the largest contract ever signed in McKesson’s automation business. St. Luke’s is also a McKesson pharmaceutical distribution customer. Our focus on innovation has kept our software offerings among the highest-rated in the industry. In fact, over the past three years, we have had 20 products ranked within the KLAS top three, several of which have received either a “Best in KLAS” or a “Category Leadership” designation multiple times. Helping physicians deliver better care and improve practice performance With the acquisitions of Per-Se, Practice Partner® and OTN over the past two years, we have significantly expanded our customer base and solution set in the physician office segment. We now deliver a full range of solutions to physicians, from medical supplies, equipment and vaccines, to electronic medical record “Drawing on our formidable array of assets, we are serving customers in ways that truly set McKesson apart in the marketplace.”
  • 6. and practice management software, to outsourced billing and collections services. A portion of the assets we acquired from Per-Se helped us form RelayHealth, McKesson’s “connectivity” business, which provides powerful capabilities to each one of our customer segments. In the physician segment, RelayHealth facilitates ePrescribing and online patient-doctor consultations known as webVisits® , innovations that provide cost and efficiency benefits to physicians and improve patient care. Strengthening our position in the fast-growing specialty pharmaceutical market, the OTN acquisition expanded our physician customer base by almost 6,000 oncologists, rheu- matologists and other providers. We also gained OTN’s state-of-the-art Lynx® technology platform that automates practice management for oncologists and other physicians. Helping payors provide their members with the best, most cost-effective care In our payor business, we offer a range of services to the public and private sectors that help manage the cost and quality of care. We are the largest provider of disease management programs to state Medicaid agencies, helping millions of people with chronic diseases lead longer, healthier lives. In the private sector, we provide clinical decision support tools to health plans, employers and large medical groups that help create better health outcomes for their members. We renewed all expiring disease management contracts in fiscal year 2008, a strong validation of the value we deliver to both payors and patients. For example, working with the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, we helped the state of Illinois achieve nearly $34 million in net savings in one year. On the software side of our payor business, the contracts we signed with Aetna and CIGNA were the two largest in the history of that business. Altogether we serve more than 85% of payors and continue to sell these customers new products and services that strengthen the relationships we have with them. Hospitals also use these products. Last year, 300 hospitals signed contracts to use InterQual® Criteria, our suite of industry- leading clinical decision support tools. This represents a 40% increase over the previous year. Executing our strategy for stockholder value creation Our strong operating performance has produced significant cash flow from operations, strengthening our balance sheet and enabling us to pursue a more aggressive strategy for stockholder value creation. Taking a portfolio approach to capital deployment over the past three years, we have spent $8 billion to reshape the organization in a manner that is consistent with our evolving strategy. From fiscal year 2006 through 2008, we completed a total of $3.1 billion in strategic acquisitions. Many of these were smaller acquisitions that enhanced our value proposition to customers in both distribution and information technology. Our larger acquisitions, including D&K, OTN and Per-Se, created opportu- nities for us to broaden our portfolio of innovative solutions and deliver them to an expanded customer base. Recently, we announced two new acquisitions that advance our long-term strategy. In May, we acquired McQueary Brothers Drug Company, a regional distributor to more than 400 independent and regional chain pharmacies in the Midwest. This acquisition expands McKesson’s distribution footprint in the independent pharmacy segment and provides fertile, new ground for growing the Health Mart franchise and expanding the McKesson OneStop Generics program. And in Technology Solutions, we acquired Rosebud Solutions (Rosebud), a provider of software to track and manage instruments, endo- scopes, tissue implants and other hospital assets. Rosebud’s “As we move into fiscal year 2009 and beyond, McKesson has never been stronger or more capable.”
  • 7. Summary and Outlook The fundamentals of our business are stronger than ever. Across the full range of our operations, we have not seen the impact of a slowing economy or tightening credit markets. We had strong top-line growth in both Distribution Solutions and Technology Solutions in fiscal year 2008, and while revenue growth rates have slowed, we maintain a positive outlook for fiscal year 2009. Celebrating our 175th anniversary is an occasion for all of us at McKesson to reflect on our history of achievement in healthcare. We are very proud of the role we have played in the advancement of this important industry. As we move into fiscal year 2009 and the next chapter in our legacy, our business has tremendous momentum. We’re very pleased with our progress, but we’re not stopping here. Our goal is to continually exceed the expectations of our customers, employees and stockholders. Our financial stability, unparalleled product mix and enviable customer base position McKesson for continued leadership and success in the years ahead. We believe the best is yet to come — for McKesson, our customers and the healthcare system as a whole. I would like to thank our employees for their hard work and commitment, our customers for their loyalty and partnership, our suppliers for their collaborative approach and dedication to our mutual success, and our stockholders for their continued support. solutions will help our customers make healthcare safer and more cost-effective. We are not afraid to take a hard look at our existing businesses. Since 2006, we have divested non-strategic or underper- forming businesses such as the acute care division of our Medical-Surgical business, which we sold in fiscal year 2007, as well as our pharmacy outsourcing business, McKesson Medication Management, the bulk of which we divested in April 2008. We regularly review our portfolio of assets to determine the optimal mix for future value creation. Our portfolio approach to capital deploy- ment has included an aggressive share repurchase program. Over the past three years, we have repurchased $3.7 billion of outstanding McKesson com- mon stock. Based on our positive out- look for the business, in April 2008 the Board of Directors authorized an additional $1 billion share repurchase program, bringing the total authoriza- tion then available to $1.3 billion. We are also committed to returning capital to stockholders, and earlier this year, the Board approved a policy to double our quarterly dividend from 6 cents to 12 cents per share. John H. Hammergren Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

U.S. Pharmaceutical Distribution: This business supplies pharmaceuticals and other healthcare related products to customers in three primary customer segments: 1) retail national accounts (including national and regional chains, food/drug combinations, mail order pharmacies and mass merchandisers); 2) independent retail pharmacies, and; 3) institutional healthcare providers (including hospitals, health systems, integrated delivery networks, clinics and other acute-care facilities and long-term care providers).

McKESSON CORPORATION 4 Our U.S. pharmaceutical distribution business operates and serves thousands of customer locations through a network of 29 distribution centers, as well as a master redistribution center, a strategic redistribution center and two repackaging facilities, serving all 50 states and Puerto Rico. We invest in technology and other systems at all of our distribution centers to enhance safety, reliability and the best product availability for our customers. For example, in all of our distribution centers we use Acumax® Plus, a Smithsonian award-winning technology, which integrates and tracks all internal functions, such as receiving, put-away and order fulfillment.

Together, these features help ensure that our customers have the right products at the right time for their facilities and patients. To maximize distribution efficiency and effectiveness, we follow the Six Sigma methodology — an analytical approach that emphasizes setting high quality objectives, collecting data and analyzing results to a fine degree in order to improve processes, reduce costs and minimize errors.

  • 15. McKESSON CORPORATION 8 Competition In every area of healthcare distribution operations, our Distribution Solutions segment faces strong competition, both in price and service, from national, regional and local full-line, short-line and specialty wholesalers, service merchandisers, self-warehousing chains, manufacturers engaged in direct distribution and large payor organizations. In addition, this segment faces competition from various other service providers and from pharmaceutical and other healthcare manufacturers (as well as other potential customers of the segment) which may from time to time decide to develop, for their own internal needs, supply management capabilities provided by the segment. Price, quality of service, and in some cases, convenience to the customer are generally the principal competitive elements in this segment. Our Technology Solutions segment experiences substantial competition from many firms, including other computer services firms, consulting firms, shared service vendors, certain hospitals and hospital groups, hardware vendors and Internet-based companies with technology applicable to the healthcare industry. Competition varies in size from small to large companies, in geographical coverage and in scope and breadth of products and services offered.

  • 16. McKESSON CORPORATION 9 Other Information About the Business Customers: In recent years, a significant portion of our revenue growth has been with a limited number of large customers. During 2008, sales to our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 53% of our total consolidated revenues. Sales to our two largest customers, CVS Caremark Corporation (“Caremark,”) and Rite Aid Corporation (“Rite Aid”) accounted for 14% and 13% of our total consolidated revenues. At March 31, 2008, accounts receivable from our ten largest customers were approximately 43% of total accounts receivable. Accounts receivable from Caremark and Rite Aid were approximately 12% and 11% of total accounts receivable. Substantially all of these revenues and accounts receivable are included in our Distribution Solutions segment. Suppliers: We obtain pharmaceutical and other products from manufacturers, none of which accounted for more than approximately 9% of our purchases in 2008. The loss of a supplier could adversely affect our business if alternate sources of supply are unavailable. We believe that our relationships with our suppliers on the whole are good. The ten largest suppliers in 2008 accounted for approximately 48% of our purchases. A significant portion of our distribution arrangements with the manufacturers provides us compensation based on a percentage of our purchases. However, we also have certain distribution arrangements with manufacturers that include an inflation-based compensation component whereby we benefit when the manufacturers increase their prices as we sell our inventory being held at the new higher prices. For these manufacturers, a reduction in the frequency and magnitude of price increases, as well as restrictions in the amount of inventory available to us, could adversely impact our gross profit margin. In 2008 and 2007, we benefited from certain branded manufacturers’ price increases on selected drugs. Research and Development: Our development expenditures primarily consist of our investment in software development held for sale. We expended $420 million, $359 million and $285 million for development activities in 2008, 2007 and 2006, and of these amounts, we capitalized 17%, 21% and 22%. Development expenditures are primarily incurred by our Technology Solutions segment. Our Technology Solutions segment’s product development efforts apply computer technology and installation methodologies to specific information processing needs of hospitals and other customers. We believe a substantial and sustained commitment to such expenditures is important to the long-term success of this business. Additional information regarding our development activities is included in Financial Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, “Significant Accounting Policies,” appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Environmental Regulation: We sold our chemical distribution operations in 1987 and retained responsibility for certain environmental obligations. Agreements with the Environmental Protection Agency and certain states may require environmental assessments and cleanups at several closed sites. These matters are described further in Financial Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, “Other Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than any expenditures that may be required in connection with those legal matters, we do not anticipate making substantial capital expenditures either for environmental issues, or to comply with environmental laws and regulations in the future. The amount of our capital expenditures for environmental compliance was not material in 2008 and is not expected to be material in the next year. Employees: On March 31, 2008, we employed approximately 32,900 persons compared to 31,800 in 2007 and 26,400 in 2006. Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations: Information as to foreign and domestic operations is included in Financial Notes 1 and 21 to the consolidated financial statements, “Significant Accounting Policies” and “Segments of Business,” appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Information as to material lease commitments is included in Financial Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, “Lease Obligations,” appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Item 3.

McKESSON CORPORATION 16 The following table sets forth information as of March 31, 2008 with respect to the plans under which the Company’s common stock is authorized for issuance: Plan Category (In millions, except per share amounts) Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in the first column ) Equity compensation plans approved by security holders(1) 16.5 $ 55.25 21.4(2) Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders(3),(4) 9.5 36.11 - (1) Includes shares available for purchase under the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Also includes options outstanding under the 1994 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, which expired October 2004, the 2005 Stock Plan, and the 1997 Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Compensation and Deferral Plan, which was replaced by the 2005 Stock Plan, following its approval by the stockholders on July 27, 2005. (2) Includes 5,565,419 shares available for purchase under the ESPP and 15,857,925 shares available for grant under the 2005 Stock Plan as of March 31, 2008. (3) Includes options that remain outstanding under the terminated broad-based 1999 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, the 1998 Canadian Stock Incentive Plan, and two stock option plans, all of which were replaced by the 2005 Stock Plan following its approval by the stockholders on July 27, 2005. (4) As a result of acquisitions, the Company currently has five assumed option plans under which options are exercisable for 360,242 shares of Company common stock. No further awards will be made under any of the assumed plans and information regarding the assumed options is not included in the table above. The following are descriptions of equity plans that have been approved by the Company’s stockholders. The plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, except for the portion of the 2005 Stock Plan related to Non-Employee Directors, which is administered by the Committee on Directors and Corporate Governance. 2005 Stock Plan: The 2005 Stock Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on May 25, 2005 and approved by the Company’s stockholders on July 27, 2005. The 2005 Stock Plan initially provided for the grant of up to 13 million shares in the form of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance shares and other share-based awards. The 2005 Stock Plan was subsequently amended by the Board of Directors on May 23, 2007 to increase the common stock reserved for issuance by 15 million shares, which was approved by stockholders on July 25, 2007. For any one share of common stock issued in connection with a stock-settled stock appreciation right, restricted stock award, restricted stock unit award, performance share or other share-based award, two shares shall be deducted from the shares available for future grants. Shares of common stock not issued or delivered as a result of the net exercise of a stock appreciation right or option, shares used to pay the withholding taxes related to a stock award, or shares repurchased on the open market with proceeds from the exercise of options shall not be returned to the reserve of shares available for issuance under the 2005 Stock Plan. Options are granted at not less than fair market value and have a term of seven years. Options generally become exercisable in four equal annual installments beginning one year after the grant date, or after four years from the date of grant. The award or vesting of restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or performance based RSUs may be conditioned upon the attainment of one or more performance objectives. Vesting of such awards is generally a three year cliff. Non-employee directors receive an annual grant of up to 5,000 RSUs, which vest immediately; however, payment of any shares is delayed until the director is no longer performing services for the Company. The 2005 Stock Plan replaced the 1997 Non-Employee Directors Equity Compensation and Deferral Plan. 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”): The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. In March 2002, the Board amended the ESPP to allow for participation in the plan by employees of certain of the Company’s international and certain other subsidiaries. As to those employees, the ESPP does not so qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Currently, 16.1 million shares have been approved by stockholders for issuance under the ESPP.
  • 24. McKESSON CORPORATION 17 The ESPP is implemented through a continuous series of three-month purchase periods (“Purchase Periods”) during which contributions can be made toward the purchase of common stock under the plan. Each eligible employee may elect to authorize regular payroll deductions during the next succeeding Purchase Period, the amount of which may not exceed 15% of a participant’s compensation. At the end of each Purchase Period, the funds withheld by each participant will be used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchase price of each share of the Company’s common stock is based on 85% of the fair market value of each share on the last day of the applicable Purchase Period. In general, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be purchased by a participant for each calendar year is determined by dividing $25,000 by the fair market value of one share of common stock on the offering date. The following are descriptions of equity plans that have not been submitted for approval by the Company’s stockholders: On July 27, 2005, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2005 Stock Plan which had the effect of terminating the 1999 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, the 1998 Canadian Stock Incentive Plan, the Stock Option Plans adopted in January 1999 and August 1999, which plans had not been submitted for approval by the Company’s stockholders, and the 1997 Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Compensation and Deferral Plan, which had previously been approved by the Company’s stockholders. Prior grants under these plans include stock options, restricted stock and RSUs. Stock options under the terminated plans generally have a ten-year life and vest over four years. Restricted stock contains certain restrictions on transferability and may not be transferred until such restrictions lapse. Each of these plans has outstanding equity grants, which are subject to the terms and conditions of their respective plans, but no new grants will be made under these terminated plans. Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence Information with respect to certain transactions with management is incorporated by reference from the Proxy Statement under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.” Additional information regarding related party transactions is included in the Financial Review section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and Financial Note 20, “Related Party Balances and Transactions,” to the consolidated financial statements.

  • 34. McKESSON CORPORATION FINANCIAL REVIEW 27 Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition GENERAL Management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition, referred to as the Financial Review, is intended to assist the reader in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the results of operations and financial position of the Company together with its subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying financial notes. The Company’s fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. Unless otherwise noted, all references in this document to a particular year shall mean the Company’s fiscal year. In April 2007, we reconfigured our operating segments to better align product development and selling efforts with the evolving needs of the healthcare market, resulting in the following operating segments: Distribution Solutions and Technology Solutions. See Financial Note 21 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, “Segments of Business,” for a description of these segments. All periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the April 2007 changes in our organization. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview: Years Ended March 31, (In millions, except per share data) 2008 2007 2006 Revenues $ 101,703 $ 92,977 $ 86,983 Securities Litigation pre-tax credits (charge), net 5 6 (45) Income from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes $ 1,457 $ 1,297 $ 1,171 Income Tax Provision (468) (329) (426) Income from Continuing Operations 989 968 745 Discontinued Operations, net 1 (55) 6 Net Income $ 990 $ 913 $ 751 Diluted Earnings Per Share Continuing Operations $ 3.32 $ 3.17 $ 2.36 Discontinued Operations - (0.18) 0.02 Total $ 3.32 $ 2.99 $ 2.38 Revenues increased 9% to $101.7 billion and 7% to $93.0 billion in 2008 and 2007. The increase in revenues primarily reflects market growth rates in our Distribution Solutions segment, which accounted for 97% of our consolidated revenues. Revenues for 2008 also benefited from our acquisitions of Oncology Therapeutics Network (“OTN”) in October 2007 and Per-Se Technologies, Inc. (“Per-Se”) in January 2007. Revenues for 2007 also benefited from our acquisition of D&K Healthcare Resources, Inc. (“D&K”) in August 2005. Gross profit increased 16% to $5.0 billion in 2008 and 15% to $4.3 billion in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit increased 27 basis points (“bp”) to 4.93% in 2008 and 32 bp to 4.66% in 2007. The increase in our 2008 gross profit margin primarily reflects a greater proportion of higher margin Technology Solutions products and an improvement in our Distribution Solutions’ segment margin. The increase in our 2007 gross profit margin primarily reflects improvement in our U.S. pharmaceutical distribution business, including a decrease in our receipt of antitrust class action lawsuits settlements. Our 2008, 2007 and 2006 gross profit includes the receipt of $14 million, $10 million and $95 million of cash proceeds representing our share of settlements of antitrust class action lawsuits.
