Summary and Outlook
On balance, I am very pleased with McKesson’s perform-
ance in fiscal year 2009. Our ability to achieve our financial
goals in the midst of significant economic turmoil is a
testament to our unwavering focus on the success of
our customers, the quality of our management team,
the strength of our products and services, our financial
stability, and the hard work and dedication of our
employees worldwide.
I am disappointed, however, that our strong financial
performance in fiscal year 2009 was not reflected in
the returns generated for our stockholders. While some
short-term headwinds are driving a moderated view
of growth prospects for fiscal year 2010, the long-term
fundamentals of our business are as strong as ever,
and I’m confident that we’ll manage through the
current economic downturn and continue our industry-
leading performance.
The coming years will bring significant change to health-
care, and we are uniquely qualified to make a difference
through our unparalleled capabilities, longstanding
customer relationships, and strong competitive position
in the markets we serve. We are helping to transform a
fragmented industry into a more connected system,
where healthcare is higher quality, more efficient, more
personalized, and ultimately, more human.
Through this pursuit, we will continue to create excep-
tional value for our customers, our suppliers, and you,
our stockholders. On behalf of the board of directors and
McKesson’s 32,500 employees worldwide, I thank you
for your confidence and continued support.

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
