Certain of the statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements about the proposed transaction with OneOncology, the expected timetable for completing the proposed transaction, the benefits of the proposed transaction, future opportunities for the Company and OneOncology and any other statements regarding the Company's or OneOncology's future operations, financial or operating results, anticipated business levels, future earnings, planned activities, anticipated growth, market opportunities, strategies, and other expectations for future periods.

**CENCORA ACCELERATES ONEONCOLOGY ACQUISITION, EXTENDING SOLUTIONS <br> OFFERING FOR COMMUNITY ONCOLOGY**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Company reiterates fiscal 2026 guidance* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Company raises long-term guidance expectations to reflect OneOncology's expected long-term contribution to enterprise growth* 

CONSHOHOCKEN, PA, December 15, 2025 — Cencora, Inc. (NYSE: COR) today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the majority of the outstanding equity interests that it does not currently own in OneOncology, a physician-led national platform empowering independent medical specialty practices rooted in oncology, from TPG, a leading global alternative asset management firm.

"We are excited to accelerate our acquisition of OneOncology, which will advance our management services organization and aligns with our approach of making growth-oriented investments that support our pharmaceutical-centric strategy," said Bob Mauch, President & CEO of Cencora. "Since our initial investment in OneOncology, the platform has grown substantially as its physician-led approach continues to attract leading practices and physicians, supporting patient access to high-quality care in local communities. With our recent acquisition of RCA, we look forward to building on both platforms' research and clinical trial capabilities, advanced technology resources and strong physician leadership to drive unique value to our stakeholders."

"We are pleased to advance our longstanding partnership with Cencora, who shares our commitment to supporting independent providers," said Jeff Patton, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of OneOncology. "As cancer care becomes increasingly complex, leveraging the significant expertise of Cencora across the healthcare landscape, while still maintaining our independence, will allow us to enhance the value we provide to practices, improving physicians' ability to focus on delivering accessible and innovative care to their patients."

The proposed transaction will build on Cencora's pharmaceutical-centric strategy and is expected to advance all three of the company's growth priorities by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Strengthening Cencora's solutions in specialty:** As innovation advances, specialty physicians
 are increasingly seeking partners that can provide tools to streamline their operations,
 support cutting edge treatments and enable them to dedicate more time to patient engagement.
 Through OneOncology's leading MSO and clinical support solutions, Cencora will further
 its ability to support physicians and pharmaceutical innovators.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Leading with market leaders:** Since its founding, OneOncology has displayed a strong track record
 of attracting leaders to its network with a compelling offering, allowing physicians to augment
 their services and impact. As a platform built by and for community specialists, we believe
 OneOncology is well-positioned to continue shaping best practices in community-based care,
 supported by Cencora's longstanding operational expertise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Enhancing patient access to pharmaceuticals:** Prioritizing the patient and provider experience,
 OneOncology has made thoughtful investments to simplify cancer care navigation, speed clinical
 trial enrollment and drive access to novel treatments in a cost-effective setting. By bringing
 together these capabilities with Cencora and Retina Consultants of America, we believe we
 can leverage our collective strengths to support innovation and further patient outcomes
 across communities.

**<u>Transaction Overview</u>**

The transaction values the OneOncology enterprise at $7.4 billion, with an equity value of approximately $6 billion. Cencora will acquire the majority of the outstanding equity interests it does not own in OneOncology from TPG and other shareholders for approximately $3.6 billion and retire its existing corporate debt of $1.3 billion, for a total cash consideration of approximately $5.0 billion. OneOncology's affiliated practices and management will retain a minority interest in OneOncology.

The transaction is expected to close by the end of Cencora's fiscal 2026 second quarter and is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals.

Cencora plans to fund the transaction through new debt financing. Cencora remains committed to maintaining its strong investment grade credit ratings and will prioritize deleveraging following the transaction. Cencora's fiscal 2026 guidance does not currently include the impact of the OneOncology acquisition, which will be incorporated in expectations following the transaction close.

Cencora expects the acquisition to be approximately neutral, net of financing costs, to Cencora's adjusted diluted EPS in the first twelve months following close.

**<u>Fiscal 2026 Guidance Expectations</u>**

To reflect Cencora's expectations for continued growth and execution, the Company is reiterating its fiscal 2026 consolidated guidance. In anticipation of the Company's acquisition of OneOncology, it is pausing share repurchases, and therefore, it is more likely the Company's full year adjusted diluted EPS will be towards the lower half of its guidance range of $17.45 to $17.75.

**<u>Long-Term Guidance Expectations</u>**

Cencora is raising its long-term guidance for adjusted operating income and adjusted diluted EPS to reflect the expected long-term contribution from adding OneOncology to Cencora's U.S. Healthcare Solutions segment.

**<u>Cencora's Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements</u>**

Certain of the statements contained in this press release are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements about the proposed transaction with OneOncology, the expected timetable for completing the proposed transaction, the benefits of the proposed transaction, future opportunities for Cencora and OneOncology and any other statements regarding Cencora's or OneOncology's future operations, financial or operating results, anticipated business levels, future earnings, planned activities, anticipated growth, market opportunities, strategies, and other expectations for future periods. Words such as "aim," "anticipate," "believe," "can," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "on track," "opportunity," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "seek," "should," "strive," "sustain," "synergy," "target," "will," "would" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

You can access Cencora's filings with the SEC through the SEC website at <u>www.sec.gov</u> or through Cencora's website, and Cencora strongly encourages you to do so. Except as required by applicable law, Cencora undertakes no obligation to update any statements herein for revisions or changes after the date of this communication.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of Cencora. Any such offer will only be made pursuant to a prospectus filed with the SEC or pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

**<u>SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES</u>**

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Cencora 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 Cencora's operating performance, to perform financial planning, and to determine incentive compensation. Therefore, Cencora 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 Cencora's core operating performance because such items are outside the control of Cencora or are inherently unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring, or non-cash.

Cencora does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and potential variability of reconciling items, which are dependent on future events, are out of Cencora's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and the probable significance of which cannot be determined.

We have included the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Adjusted
 operating income: Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes
 the gains from antitrust litigation settlements; Turkey highly inflationary impact; LIFO
 expense (credit); acquisition-related intangibles amortization; litigation and opioid-related
 expenses, net; acquisition related deal and integration expenses; restructuring and other
 expenses; and goodwill impairment. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Adjusted
 diluted earnings per share: Adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes the per share impact
 of adjustments including gains from antitrust litigation settlements; Turkey highly inflationary
 impact; LIFO expense (credit); acquisition-related intangibles amortization; litigation and
 opioid expenses, net; acquisition-related deal and integration expenses; restructuring and
 other expenses; impairment of goodwill; the gain (loss) on the divestiture of non-core businesses;
 the gain (loss) on the currency remeasurement related to 2020 Swiss tax reform; the Company's
 portion of an equity method investment's gain on the sale of a business; the impairment of
 an equity investment; and the gain (loss) on the remeasurement of an equity investment, in
 each case net of the tax effect calculated using the applicable effective tax rate for those
 items. In addition, the per share impact of certain discrete tax items primarily attributable
 to an adjustment of a foreign valuation allowance, and the per share impact of certain expenses
 related to 2020 Swiss tax reform are also excluded from adjusted diluted earnings per share.
 Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it
 eliminates the per share impact of the items that are outside the control of the Company
 or that are not considered to be indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their
 inherent unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring, or non-cash nature.
