Additionally, the health IT company’s fiscal year revenue totaled $179 billion, up 30 percent from the $137.4 billion the previous year.

McKesson’s reported profit for the last quarter was $132 million, a 64 percent decrease from $370 million during the same time last year, according to a Wall Street Journal report, which suggests part of the decline is due to a $150 million settlement with the U.S. government for charges related to order reporting practices for controlled substances.
