DUBLIN, Ohio, August 14, 2024 - Cardinal Health (NYSE: CAH) today reported fourth quarter fiscal year 2024 revenues of $59.9 billion, an increase of 12% from the prior year. GAAP operating earnings were $401 million and GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.96. Non-GAAP operating earnings increased 14% to $605 million, driven primarily by segment profit increases in Global Medical Products and Distribution (GMPD) and Pharmaceutical and Specialty Solutions. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased 29% to $1.84 in the quarter, reflecting the increase in non-GAAP operating earnings across the business, lower interest and other expense, a lower non-GAAP effective tax rate and a lower share count.

Fiscal year 2024 revenues were $226.8 billion, an 11% increase from fiscal year 2023. GAAP operating earnings were $1.2 billion and GAAP diluted EPS was $3.45. Non-GAAP operating earnings increased 16% to $2.4 billion, driven primarily by segment profit increases in GMPD and Pharmaceutical and Specialty Solutions. Non-GAAP diluted EPS increased 29% to $7.53 for the year, reflecting the increase in non-GAAP operating earnings across the business, lower interest and other expense, a lower non-GAAP effective tax rate and a lower share count following in-year share repurchases.

"Fiscal 2024 marked a year of strong operational execution and record financial results, delivered in tandem with key strategic progress in the portfolio," said Jason Hollar, CEO of Cardinal Health. "We delivered robust cash flow generation, continued profit growth in the Pharmaceutical and Specialty Solutions segment and significant improvement driven by our GMPD Improvement Plan. We enter the new fiscal year with momentum and confidence, evidenced by our raised fiscal year 2025 guidance."

1GAAP refers to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This news release includes GAAP financial measures as well as non-GAAP financial measures, which are financial measures not calculated in accordance with GAAP. See "Use of Non-GAAP Measures" following the attached schedules for definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this news release and see the attached schedules for reconciliations of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures and their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

2Cardinal Health revised its prior period financials to correct an accounting error related to revenue recognition from third party payors within the at-Home Solutions operating segment. We evaluated the materiality of the error and determined that the impacts were not material, individually or in the aggregate, for any of the prior quarters or annual periods in which they occurred. In connection with these revisions, the company also corrected the timing of other unrelated immaterial errors, including an adjustment to an uncertain tax position, which were previously recorded in the periods the company identified them. The GAAP diluted EPS net impact of these prior period revisions is a $0.01 increase to the 9 months ending March 31, 2024, a $0.26 increase for fiscal year 2023 and a $0.02 decrease for fiscal year 2022. The non-GAAP diluted EPS net impact of these prior period revisions is a $0.07 increase for the 9 months ending March 31, 2024, a $0.06 increase for fiscal year 2023 and a $0.01 increase for fiscal year 2022.

See accompanying schedules below and Notes 1 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the company's fiscal year 2024 Form 10-K for revised financials reflecting the immaterial corrections to results of prior periods.

3Fluctuations in the GAAP effective tax rates are primarily due to the impact of goodwill impairments related to GMPD in each of the fiscal years.

4Updates to preliminary fiscal year 2025 outlook previously communicated during company's third quarter earnings release: non-GAAP diluted EPS previously of "At least $7.50", Pharmaceutical and Specialty Solutions segment profit growth of "At least 1%", Interest and other of $160M - $190M, diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 244M - 245M and share repurchases of $500M.

These matters are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied.

In connection with the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements for fiscal 2024, we identified an accounting error related to revenue recognition from third party payors within the at-Home Solutions operating segment. We evaluated the materiality of the error and determined that the impacts were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements for any of the prior quarters or annual periods in which they occurred. We have revised our prior period financial statements to correct this error, as well as other unrelated immaterial errors, including an adjustment to an uncertain tax position. These revisions impacted each quarter of fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024. These other immaterial errors were previously corrected in the periods they were identified; however, they are now reflected in the periods they originated. See "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 to be filed with the SEC.

1 Impairments and (gain)/loss on disposals of assets, net includes pre-tax goodwill impairment charges of $675 million related to the GMPD segment recorded in fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

2 Provision for income taxes includes the tax effects relating to the cumulative goodwill impairment charges. For fiscal 2024 and 2023, the net tax benefits related to the goodwill impairment charges were $58 million and $92 million, respectively. The net tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2023 related to goodwill impairment charges was $29 million.

4 For the three months ended June 30, 2023, GAAP diluted loss per share attributable to Cardinal Health, Inc. ("GAAP diluted EPS") and the EPS impact from the GAAP to non-GAAP per share reconciling items are calculated using a weighted average of 254 million common shares, which excludes potentially dilutive securities from the denominator due to their anti-dilutive effects resulting from our GAAP net loss for the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, non-GAAP diluted EPS is calculated using a weighted average of 256 million common shares, which includes potentially dilutive shares.

5 During fiscal 2024, we recorded cumulative pre-tax goodwill impairment charges of $675 million related to GMPD in impairments and (gain)/loss on disposal of assets, net. The estimated net tax benefit related to the impairments is $58 million and is included in the annual effective tax rate. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the amount of tax expense recognized related to goodwill impairment charges was $34 million, which reflects the reversal of the incremental tax benefit recognized during the nine months ended March 31, 2024.

Impairments and (gain)/loss on disposals of assets, net included a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $364 million related to GMPD recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The net tax expense recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2023 related to goodwill impairment charges was $29 million, which included a reversal of the incremental tax benefit recognized during the nine months ended March 31, 2023.

The sum of the components and certain computations may reflect rounding adjustments.

We generally apply varying tax rates depending on the item's nature and tax jurisdiction where it is incurred.

As a result, the amount of tax benefit increased approximately by an incremental $114 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and increased the provision for income taxes for the remainder of fiscal 2023.

The sum of the components and certain computations may reflect rounding adjustments.

We generally apply varying tax rates depending on the item's nature and tax jurisdiction where it is incurred.

Amounts have been revised to reflect the correction of certain unrelated immaterial misstatements. See "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements" included in

our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 to be filed with the SEC.

3 Attributable to Cardinal Health, Inc.4 For the three months ended September 30, 2023, GAAP diluted EPS and the EPS impact from the GAAP to non-GAAP per share reconciling items are calculated using a weighted average of 249 million common shares, which excludes potentially dilutive securities from the denominator due to their anti-dilutive effects resulting from our GAAP net loss for the periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, non-GAAP diluted EPS is calculated using a weighted average of 250 million common shares, which includes potentially dilutive shares.

5 For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, impairments and (gain)/loss on disposals of assets, net includes pre-tax goodwill impairment charges of $585 million and $154 million, respectively, related to GMPD. For fiscal 2024 and 2023, the estimated net tax benefits related to these impairment charges were included in the annual effective tax rate. As a result, the tax benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 increased approximately by an incremental $102 million and $24 million, respectively, and increased the provision for income taxes during the remainder of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The sum of the components and certain computations may reflect rounding adjustments.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

In addition to analyzing our business based on financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate our performance, engage in financial and operational planning and determine incentive compensation because we believe that these measures provide additional perspective on and, in some circumstances are more closely correlated to, the performance of our underlying, ongoing business. We provide these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on our financial and operating results on a year-over-year basis and in comparing our performance to that of our competitors. However, the non-GAAP financial measures that we use may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by us should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth below should be carefully evaluated.

Exclusions from Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management believes it is useful to exclude the following items from the non-GAAP measures presented in this report for its own and for investors' assessment of the business for the reasons identified below:

•LIFO charges and credits are excluded because the factors that drive last-in first-out ("LIFO") inventory charges or credits, such as pharmaceutical manufacturer price appreciation or deflation and year-end inventory levels (which can be meaningfully influenced by customer buying behavior immediately preceding our fiscal year-end), are largely out of our control and cannot be accurately predicted. The exclusion of LIFO charges and credits from non-GAAP metrics facilitates comparison of our current financial results to our historical financial results and to our peer group companies' financial results. We did not recognize any LIFO charges or credits during the periods presented.

•State opioid assessments related to prior fiscal years is the portion of state assessments for prescription opioid medications that were sold or distributed in periods prior to the period in which the expense is incurred. This portion is excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because it is retrospectively applied to sales in prior fiscal years and inclusion would obscure analysis of the current fiscal year results of our underlying, ongoing business. Additionally, while states' laws may require us to make payments on an ongoing basis, the portion of the assessment related to sales in prior periods are contemplated to be one-time, nonrecurring items. Income from state opioid assessments related to prior fiscal years represents reversals of accruals due to changes in estimates or when the underlying assessments were invalidated by a Court or reimbursed by manufacturers.

•Shareholder cooperation agreement costs includes costs such as legal, consulting and other expenses incurred in relation to the agreement (the "Cooperation Agreement") entered into among Elliott Associates, L.P., Elliott International, L.P. (together, "Elliott") and Cardinal Health, including costs incurred to negotiate and finalize the Cooperation Agreement and costs incurred by the Business Review Committee of the Board of Directors, which was formed under this Cooperation Agreement. We have excluded these costs from our non-GAAP metrics because they do not occur in or reflect the ordinary course of our ongoing business operations and may obscure analysis of trends and financial performance.

•Restructuring and employee severance costs are excluded because they are not part of the ongoing operations of our underlying business and include, but are not limited to, costs related to divestitures, closing and consolidating facilities, changing the way we manufacture or distribute our products, moving manufacturing of a product to another location, changes in production or business process outsourcing or insourcing, employee severance and realigning operations.

•Amortization and other acquisition-related costs, which include transaction costs, integration costs and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations, are excluded because they are not part of the ongoing operations of our underlying business and to facilitate comparison of our current financial results to our historical financial results and to our peer group companies' financial results. Additionally, costs for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets are non-cash amounts, which are variable in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of acquisitions, so their exclusion facilitates comparison of historical, current and forecasted financial results. We also exclude other acquisition-related costs, which are directly related to an acquisition but do not meet the criteria to be recognized on the acquired entity's initial balance sheet as part of the purchase price allocation. These costs are also significantly impacted by the timing, complexity and size of acquisitions.

•Impairments and gain or loss on disposal of assets, net are excluded because they do not occur in or reflect the ordinary course of our ongoing business operations and are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount, and in the case of impairments, are non-cash amounts, so their exclusion facilitates comparison of historical, current and forecasted financial results.

•Litigation recoveries or charges, net are excluded because they often relate to events that may have occurred in prior or multiple periods, do not occur in or reflect the ordinary course of our business and are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount.

•Loss on early extinguishment of debt is excluded because it does not typically occur in the normal course of business and may obscure analysis of trends and financial performance. Additionally, the amount and frequency of this type of charge is not consistent and is significantly impacted by the timing and size of debt extinguishment transactions.

•(Gain)/Loss on sale of equity interest in naviHealth was incurred in connection with the sale of our remaining equity interest in naviHealth in fiscal 2020. The equity interest was retained in connection with the initial sale of our majority interest in naviHealth during fiscal 2019. We exclude this significant gain because gains or losses on investments of this magnitude do not typically occur in the normal course of business and are similar in nature to a gain or loss from a divestiture of a majority interest, which we exclude from non-GAAP results. The gain on the initial sale of our majority interest in naviHealth in fiscal 2019 was also excluded from our non-GAAP measures.

The tax effect for each of the items listed above is determined using the tax rate and other tax attributes applicable to the item and the jurisdiction(s) in which the item is recorded. The gross, tax and net impact of each item are presented with our GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations.

Non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow:We provide this non-GAAP financial measure as a supplemental metric to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on our cash flow on a year-over-year basis and in comparing our performance to that of our peer group companies. In calculating this non-GAAP metric, certain items are excluded from net cash provided by operating activities because they relate to significant and unusual or non-recurring events and are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount. We believe adjusted free cash flow is important to management and useful to investors as a supplemental measure as it indicates the cash flow available for working capital needs, debt repayments, dividend payments, share repurchases, strategic acquisitions, or other strategic uses of cash. A reconciliation of our GAAP financial results to Non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow is provided in Schedule 6 of the financial statement tables included with this release.

Forward Looking Non-GAAP Measures

In this document, the Company presents certain forward-looking non-GAAP metrics. The Company does not provide outlook on a GAAP basis because the items that the Company excludes from GAAP to calculate the comparable non-GAAP measure can be dependent on future events that are less capable of being controlled or reliably predicted by management and are not part of the Company's routine operating activities. Additionally, management does not forecast many of the excluded items for internal use and therefore cannot create or rely on outlook done on a GAAP basis.

The occurrence, timing and amount of any of the items excluded from GAAP to calculate non-GAAP could significantly impact the Company's fiscal 2024 GAAP results. Over the past five fiscal years, the excluded items have impacted the Company's EPS from $3.49 to $18.06, which includes a $17.54 charge related to the opioid litigation we recognized in fiscal 2020.
