Notes to Financial Statements

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned or consolidated subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany transactions and amounts have been eliminated. The results of businesses acquired or disposed of are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition or up to the date of disposal, respectively.

References to "we," "our," and similar pronouns in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 (this "Form 10-Q") are to Cardinal Health, Inc. and its majority-owned or consolidated subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.

Our fiscal year ends on June 30. References to fiscal 2024 and 2023 in these condensed consolidated financial statements are to the fiscal years ending or ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts.

In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. In addition, financial results presented for this fiscal 2024 interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (our "2023 Form 10-K").

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

Not Yet Adopted

We assess the adoption impacts of recently issued accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") on our condensed consolidated financial statements as well as material updates to previous assessments, if any, from our fiscal 2023 Form 10-K.

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through disclosures of significant segment expenses. This guidance will be effective for us in our fiscal 2025 Form 10-K and the guidance must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on our disclosures.

Income Tax Disclosure

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. This guidance will be effective for us in our fiscal 2026 Form 10-K and should be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on our disclosures.

Recently Adopted Financial Accounting Standards

There were no new material accounting standards adopted in the six months ended December 31, 2023.

Notes to Financial Statements

  1. Divestitures

On June 5, 2023, we signed a definitive agreement to contribute the Outcomes TM business to Transaction Data Systems ("TDS"), a portfolio company of BlackRock Long Term Private Capital and GTCR, in exchange for a 16 percent equity interest in the combined entity. The transaction closed on July 10, 2023 and we recognized a pre-tax gain of $53 million during the six months ended December 31, 2023, which was included inimpairments and (gain)/loss on disposal of assets, net in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings/(loss). This gain includes our initial recognition of an equity method investment in the combined entity for $147 million.

We determined that the divestiture of the Outcomes TMbusiness does not meet the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. The Outcomes TMbusiness operated within our Pharmaceutical segment.

  1. Restructuring and Employee Severance

The following tables summarize restructuring and employee severance costs:

Three Months Ended December 31,
(in millions)20232022

Six Months Ended December 31,
(in millions)20232022
Employee-related$15$29
Facility exit and other3817
Total restructuring and employee severance$53$46

Employee-related costs primarily consist of termination benefits provided to employees who have been involuntarily terminated, duplicate payroll costs and retention bonuses incurred during transition periods. Facility exit and other costs primarily consist of project consulting fees, accelerated depreciation, professional, project management and other service fees to support divestitures, costs associated with vacant facilities, and certain other divestiture-related costs.

Restructuring and employee severance costs during the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 were primarily related to certain projects resulting from review of our strategy portfolio, capital-allocation framework and operation and the implementation of certain enterprise-wide cost-savings measures. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, restructuring and employee severance costs were primarily related to implementation of certain enterprise-wide cost-saving measures.
