U.S. Pharmaceutical

U.S. Pharmaceutical revenues for the year ended March 31, 2024 increased $38.1 billion or 16% compared to the prior year. Within the segment, sales to pharmacies and institutional healthcare providers increased $34.1 billion and sales to specialty practices and other increased $4 billion. Overall, these increases were primarily due to growth in specialty pharmaceuticals, higher volumes from retail national account customers, and branded pharmaceutical price increases, partially offset by branded to generic drug conversions.

Prescription Technology Solutions

RxTS revenues for the year ended March 31, 2024 increased $382 million or 9% compared to the prior year due to higher technology service revenues and increased volumes primarily in our third-party logistics and wholesale distribution services.

Medical-Surgical Solutions

Medical-Surgical Solutions revenues for the year ended March 31, 2024 increased $203 million or 2% compared to the prior year. Within the segment, sales to primary care customers increased $205 million and sales to extended care customers increased $185 million, driven by underlying business growth. Other sales declined $187 million driven by lower contribution from the kitting and distribution of ancillary supplies used to administer COVID-19 vaccines.

International

International revenues for the year ended March 31, 2024 decreased $6.5 billion or 31% compared to the prior year which included $323 million unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Within the segment, sales in Europe declined by $6.8 billion largely due to the completed divestitures of our E.U. disposal group in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. This was partially offset by increased sales in Canada of $674 million largely driven by higher pharmaceutical distribution volumes.
