Within the segment, sales to pharmacies and healthcare providers increased $42.6 billion and sales to specialty practices and other increased $6.4 billion.

Medical-Surgical Solutions revenues for the year ended March 31, 2025 increased $73 million or 1% compared to the prior year. Within the segment, sales to primary care customers increased $85 million, partially offset by other sales which declined $10 million driven by lower contribution from the kitting and distribution of ancillary supplies used to administer COVID-19 vaccines, and sales to extended care customers which decreased $2 million.

International

International revenues for the year ended March 31, 2025 increased $591 million or 4% compared to the prior year which included $455 million unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Within the segment, sales in Canada increased by $950 million largely driven by higher pharmaceutical distribution volumes and sales in Norway increased by $96 million primarily driven by growth in retail pharmacy.

U.S. Pharmaceutical

Operating profit increased for the year ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year primarily due to a prior year provision for bad debts of $725 million and a fiscal 2025 credit of $206 million related to the reassessment of our initial estimates made in conjunction with the previously reserved prepetition balances owed by Rite Aid, growth in specialty pharmaceuticals and retail national account customers, and an increase in net cash proceeds received representing our share of antitrust legal settlements. These increases were partially offset by a LIFO charge in fiscal 2025 compared to a credit in the prior year period, an increase in operating expenses to support higher volumes, a charge of $57 million related to our estimated liability for opioid-related claims, and a loss related to one of our equity method investments.

Prescription Technology Solutions

Operating profit increased for the year ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year primarily driven by contributions from technology services partially offset by the gain of $78 million recognized in the prior year resulting from a fair value adjustment of our contingent consideration liability related to the RxSS acquisition.

Medical-Surgical Solutions

Operating profit decreased for the year ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year primarily due to higher restructuring charges recorded in fiscal 2025 and a decline in the contribution from our primary care business, partially offset by lower expenses resulting from business rationalization initiatives.

International

Operating (loss) for this segment for the year ended March 31, 2025 compared to an operating profit for the prior year was largely due to remeasurement charges related to our Canadian retail disposal group, as discussed in Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures,” to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Corporate

Corporate expenses, net decreased for the year ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year primarily due to a net gain of $101 million related to our investments in equity securities of certain U.S. growth stage companies in the healthcare industry, a favorable impact to interest income, and lower charges related to our estimated liability for opioid-related claims. These were partially offset by a fiscal 2025 charge of $87 million related to the termination of the U.K. pension plan, remeasurement charges related to our Canadian retail disposal group, as discussed in Financial Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures,” to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report, and higher restructuring charges recorded in fiscal 2025 compared to the prior year.
