Fourth Quarter GAAP Results • Revenue: In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, revenue was $88.4 billion, up 5.5 percent compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, reflecting a 5.4 percent increase in revenue within the U.S. Healthcare Solutions segment and a 5.1 percent increase in revenue within the International Healthcare Solutions segment. • Gross Profit: Gross profit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was $3.6 billion, a 21.9 percent increase compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, primarily due to increases in gross profit in both reportable segments. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 4.08 percent, an increase of 55 basis points from the prior year quarter due to the increase in U.S. Healthcare Solutions’ gross profit margin as a result of the February 2026 acquisition of OneOncology, offset in part by increased sales of GLP-1s, which have lower gross profit margins. • Operating Expenses: In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, operating expenses were $2.7 billion, an 8.2 percent decrease compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, primarily due to the $723.9 million PharmaLex goodwill impairment charge recorded in the prior year quarter.

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. Additionally, other businesses for which the Company is exploring strategic alternatives have been grouped together in Other. These businesses include MWI Animal Health, Profarma, U.S. Consulting Services (which was divested in April 2026), and certain components of PharmaLex. U.S. Healthcare Solutions Segment U.S. Healthcare Solutions revenue was $78.3 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of 5.4 percent compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year due to overall market growth primarily driven by unit volume growth, including increased sales of specialty products to health systems and physician practices and increased sales of products labeled for diabetes and/or weight loss in the GLP-1 class. The revenue growth was offset in part by a decline in manufacturer prices related to certain brand pharmaceutical products and lower sales to our large mail order customer. Segment operating income of $997.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was up 22.0 percent compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year due to an increase in gross profit, as a result of increased pharmaceutical sales and the February 2026 acquisition of OneOncology, offset in part by an increase in operating expenses.

Operating income in Other in the fourthquarter of fiscal 2026 was $101.1 million, an increase of 35.8 percent, primarily due to an increase in operating income at MWI Animal Health due to business growth and, to a lesser extent, a decline in depreciation expense resulting from its classification as held for sale.

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, LIFO expense (credit), and Türkiye highly inflationary impact. 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, LIFO expense (credit), and Türkiye highly inflationary impact 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 (credit) expenses, net; acquisition and divestiture-related deal and integration expenses, net; restructuring and other expenses, net; and impairment of assets, including goodwill. 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 and divestiture-related deal and integration expenses, net and restructuring and other expenses, net that relate to unpredictable and/or non-recurring business activities. We exclude the amount of litigation and opioid-related (credit) expenses, net, 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, remeasurement gain related to the OneOncology acquisition, gain on an equity method investment, loss on divestiture of non-core businesses, and the gain (loss) on the currency remeasurement of the deferred tax asset relating to 2020 Swiss tax reform 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 income tax expense: Adjusted income tax expense is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the income tax expense (benefits) associated with the same items that are described above and excluded from adjusted income before income taxes. Certain discrete tax expense (benefits) are also excluded from adjusted income tax expense. Further, the amortization of deferred tax assets relating to 2020 Swiss tax reform is 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 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 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 it does not reflect unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring or non-cash amounts or items that are outside the control of the Company. • Adjusted diluted earnings per share: Adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes the per share impact of adjustments including gains from antitrust litigation settlements; LIFO expense (credit); Türkiye highly inflationary impact; acquisition-related intangibles amortization; litigation and opioid-related (credit) expenses, net; acquisition and divestiture-related deal and integration expenses, net; restructuring and other expenses, net; impairment of assets, including goodwill; the remeasurement gain related to the acquisition of OneOncology; gain on equity method investment; loss on divestiture of non-core businesses; and the gain (loss) on the currency remeasurement related to 2020 Swiss tax reform, in each case net of the tax effect calculated using the applicable effective tax rate for those items. In addition, the per share impact of certain discrete tax items and the per share impact of the amortization of deferred tax assets relating 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. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding has been adjusted to include the impact of restricted stock units and stock options that were antidilutive for the GAAP presentation due to a GAAP net loss in the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Management believes that adjusted diluted shares outstanding is useful to investors because it facilitates the calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share. • 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 expectations on possible future cash flows. The Company does not provide forward looking expectations 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. Below is a reconciliation of operating cash flows to adjusted free cash flows for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026:

Reconciliation of adjusted free cash flows Operating cash flows $4,790M Capital expenditures $(910)M Free cash flows $3,881M Gains from antitrust litigation settlements $(73)M Adjusted free cash flows $3,808M 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. Below is a summary of revenue and adjusted operating income on an as-reported basis and on a constant currency basis for the three months ended September 30, 2026: Revenue Adjusted OperatingIncome Consolidated As reported $88.4B $1,249M Impact of foreign currency translation $0.2B $3M Constant currency $88.6B $1,252M International Healthcare Solutions segment As reported $7.8B $152M Impact of foreign currency translation $0.2B $3M Constant currency $8.0B $155M In addition, the Company has provided non-GAAP fiscal year 2027 expectations 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 expectations 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.
