While San Francisco-based McKesson posted a 10 percent growth in revenue for the second quarter of 2016 compared to the year prior, the healthcare services and IT company reported a slight dip in gross profit.
For the quarter ended Sept. 30, McKesson reported $48.76 billion in revenue, compared to $44.16 billion for the same quarter the previous year.
However, gross profit for the second quarter 2016 slightly fell from $2.86 million last year to $2.84 million this year.
Overall, McKesson is pleased with its performance in the first six months of its fiscal year.
