**CENCORA REPORTS FISCAL 2026 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS**

*Revenue of $85.9 billion for the First Quarter, a 5.5% Increase Year-Over-Year*

*First Quarter GAAP Diluted EPS of $2.87 and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $4.08* 

*Adjusted Operating Income Guidance Raised to Growth of 11.5% to 13.5%*

*Adjusted Diluted EPS Guidance Range Reaffirmed at $17.45 to $17.75 for Fiscal 2026*

*Company Completes Acquisition of OneOncology*

**CONSHOHOCKEN, PA, February 4, 2026** - Cencora, Inc. (NYSE: COR) reported that in its fiscal year 2026 first quarter ended December 31, 2025, revenue increased 5.5 percent year-over-year to $85.9 billion. On the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $2.87 for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $2.50 in the prior year first quarter. Adjusted diluted EPS, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes items described below, increased 9.4 percent to $4.08 in the fiscal first quarter from $3.73 in the prior year first quarter.

Cencora is updating its outlook for fiscal year 2026. The Company does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis as discussed below in Fiscal Year 2026 Expectations. Adjusted operating income guidance has been raised from the previous range of growth of 8% to 10% to growth of 11.5% to 13.5% primarily to reflect the completion of the acquisition of OneOncology and the performance of the U.S. Healthcare Solutions segment.

"Cencora began fiscal 2026 by delivering strong financial performance and advancing our strategy through the acquisition of OneOncology," said Robert P. Mauch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cencora.

"Our ownership of OneOncology cements our specialty MSO footprint and deepens our partnership with physicians leading in cancer care," Mauch continued "As we continue to advance our leadership in specialty and execute our pharmaceutical-centric strategy, we are well positioned to drive continued value for all our stakeholders and deliver on our purpose."

Below, Cencora presents descriptive summaries of the Company's GAAP and adjusted (non-GAAP) quarterly 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.

**<u>First Quarter GAAP Results</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** <u>Revenue:</u> In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, revenue was $85.9 billion, up 5.5 percent compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, primarily due to a 5.0 percent increase in revenue within the U.S. Healthcare Solutions segment and a 9.6 percent increase in revenue within the International Healthcare Solutions segment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** <u>Gross Profit:</u> Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $3.1 billion, a 20.1 percent increase compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, primarily due to the increase in gross profit in both reportable segments and an increase in the LIFO credit in the current year quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 3.58 percent, an increase of 44 basis points from the prior year quarter due to the increase in U.S. Healthcare Solutions' gross profit margin, driven primarily by the January 2025 acquisition of Retina Consultants of America (RCA).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Operating Expenses:</u> In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, operating expenses were $2.3 billion, a 24.8 percent increase compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year. This increase was primarily driven by higher expenses as a result of the January 2025 acquisition of RCA and to support our revenue growth and a $249.5 million impairment of assets related to its U.S. Consulting Services business that is classified as held for sale. The growth in expenses was offset in part by a litigation and opioid-related credit of $86.8 million related to a litigation settlement, compared to an expense in the prior year quarter.

.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Operating Income:</u> In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, operating income was $760.4 million, an increase of 7.7 percent compared to the same quarter 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 0.88 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 0.87 percent in the prior year quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Interest Expense, Net:</u> In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, net interest expense was $72.4 million, an increase of $44.5 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to an increase in interest expense as a result of our issuance of senior notes and a variable-rate term loan to finance a portion of the January 2025 acquisition of RCA and a decrease in interest income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Effective Tax Rate:</u> The effective tax rate was 20.1 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 20.4 percent in the prior year quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** <u>Diluted Earnings Per Share:</u> Diluted earnings per share was $2.87 in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, a 14.8 percent increase compared to $2.50 in the previous fiscal year's first quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** <u>Diluted Shares Outstanding:</u> Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were 195.3 million, an increase of 0.1 percent versus the prior year first quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** <u>Adjusted Gross Profit:</u> Adjusted gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $3.0 billion, an 18.1 percent increase compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year primarily due to increases in gross profit in both reportable segments. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 3.48 percent in the fiscal 2026 first quarter, an increase of 37 basis points from the prior year quarter due to the increase in U.S. Healthcare Solutions gross profit margin, primarily due to the January 2025 acquisition of RCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** <u>Adjusted Operating Expenses:</u> In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, adjusted operating expenses were $1.9 billion, a 21.7 percent increase compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, primarily due to higher expenses as a result of the January 2025 acquisition of RCA and to support our revenue growth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** <u>Adjusted Operating Income:</u> In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, adjusted operating income was $1.1 billion, an 11.9 percent increase compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year due to the increase in gross profit, offset in part by the increase in operating expenses. Adjusted operating income as a percentage of revenue was 1.24 percent in the fiscal 2026 first quarter, an increase of 8 basis points when compared to the prior year quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** <u>Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share:</u> Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $4.08 in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, a 9.4 percent increase compared to $3.73 in the previous fiscal year's first quarter.

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were 195.3 million, an increase of 0.1 percent versus the prior year first quarter.

**<u>Segment Discussion</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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, and certain components of PharmaLex.

*<u>U.S. Healthcare Solutions Segment</u>*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;U.S. Healthcare Solutions revenue was $76.2 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of 5.0 percent compared to the same quarter of the previous fiscal year primarily due to overall market growth largely driven by unit volume growth, including increased sales of specialty products to health systems and physician practices and products labeled for diabetes and/or weight loss in the GLP-1 class, offset in part by a decrease in sales due to the losses of a grocery customer and an oncology customer. Segment operating income of $831.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was up 21.0 percent compared to the same quarter in the previous fiscal year due to the increase in gross profit, as a result of the January 2025 acquisition of RCA and increased product sales, offset in part by the increase in operating expenses and the loss of the oncology customer.

*<u>International Healthcare Solutions Segment</u>*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;International Healthcare Solutions revenue was $7.6 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of 9.6 percent compared to the previous fiscal year's first quarter primarily due to growth in our European distribution business. Segment operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $142.2 million, a decrease of 13.9 percent, primarily due to lower

operating income at our European distribution business, offset in part by an increase in operating income at our global specialty logistics business. On a constant currency basis, International Healthcare Solutions revenue increased by 6.2 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the previous fiscal year's first quarter, while segment operating income decreased by 17.0 percent.

*<u>Other</u>*

Revenue in Other was $2.1 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of 6.3 percent compared to the previous fiscal year's first quarter due to growth at MWI Animal Health and Profarma, offset in part by a decrease in sales at our consulting services businesses. Operating income in Other in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $91.4 million, a decrease of 6.1 percent, primarily due to lower operating income at our consulting services businesses resulting from the loss of a manufacturer customer program, offset in part by an increase in operating income at MWI Animal Health.

**<u>Recent Company Highlights & Milestones</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cencora completed its acquisition of the majority of the outstanding equity interests that it did not own in OneOncology, a leading management services organization (MSO) for oncology practices.

**<u>Fiscal Year 2026 Expectations on an Adjusted (non-GAAP) Basis</u>**

Cencora is now updating its fiscal year 2026 financial guidance to reflect the expected operating income and equity method income contributions from the completed acquisition of OneOncology, performance of the U.S. Healthcare Solutions Segment and improved results in Other as certain depreciable assets have been fully impaired as of December 31, 2025. As a result, Cencora is reaffirming its full fiscal 2026 adjusted diluted EPS guidance range.

**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-related deal and integration expenses; 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-related deal and integration expenses 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 these do not reflect unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring or non-cash amounts or items that are outside the control of the Company.

• *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 remeasurement of an equity investment, the gain (loss) on the currency remeasurement of the deferred tax asset relating to 2020 Swiss tax reform, and the loss on divestiture of non-core businesses are excluded from adjusted income before income taxes because these amounts are unusual, non-operating, and 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 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 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 Cencora:* 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-related deal and integration expenses; restructuring and other expenses, net; the impairment of assets, including goodwill; the gain (loss) on remeasurement of an equity investment; the gain (loss) on the currency remeasurement related to 2020 Swiss tax reform; and the loss on divestiture of non-core businesses, 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.

• *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. 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. Below is a reconciliation of operating cash flows to adjusted free cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Reconciliation of adjusted free cash flows** | |
| Operating cash flows | *$(2,305.2)M* |
| Capital expenditures | *$(119.4)M* |
| Free cash flows | *$(2,424.5)M* |
| (Less) gains from antitrust litigation settlements | *$(12.2)M* |
| **Adjusted free cash flows** | *$(2,436.7)M* |

The Company also presents certain information related to current period operating results in "constant currency," which is a non-GAAP financial measure. These amounts are calculated by translating current period 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 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 December 31, 2025:

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Constant currency | *$7.4B* | *$137M* |

In addition, the Company has provided non-GAAP fiscal year 2026 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.
