Advancing the Health of the Healthcare System by Advancing the Success of Our Partners The healthcare system faces enormous challenges. Major new pharmaceuticals and advanced treatments for an aging population, increased regulation, wasteful paper transactions, avoidable adverse drug events and medical errors, a shortage of skilled labor, lack of standardization in managing supplies and information – all place tremendous demands on participants striving to improve patient outcomes. At McKesson HBOC, Inc., we understand these challenges from the perspective of our customers. We work closely with them in an ongoing process of innovation, support and refinement focused on delivering solutions tailored to their needs. They know that they can count on us as they have for the past 167 years. The reason – we act in their best interest and meet our commitments, while continually improving the value of our offering by seamlessly incorporating advanced technologies into our prod- ucts and services.

A Message from the Chairman A year ago, I reported the actions taken by the McKesson HBOC, Inc., Board of Directors to move the company forward under new executive leadership following disclosure of improper accounting practices at HBO & Company, acquired in January 1999. These actions included the appointment of John H. Hammergren and David L. Mahoney as co-Chief Executive Officers and the selection of Graham O. King to lead our Information Technology Business. Over the past year, following the timely restatement of the company’s financial results for the prior three years, the company’s management team focused on a set of cor- porate challenges. These were to stabilize the information technology business and respond to new companies and technologies entering markets we serve. The difficul- ty of the task was compounded by weakness in the demand for healthcare software and a highly competitive market for supply chain management. While the team successfully addressed many of the internal issues, and the needs of our customers, the company’s financial performance is not yet at a satisfactory level. We have taken steps to improve the profitability of the Supply Management Business and regain momentum in the Information Technology Business. We are committed to returning to industry leadership in growth, profitability and reputation. Significant investment is required to ensure that we provide our customers with the most- advanced technologies available. We are investing because it is clear that healthcare providers must ultimately renew their adoption of new technologies in order to respond to economic and regulatory pressures, improve their efficiency and quality of care and standardize their information systems. Our ability to help meet these needs will drive revenue growth. By the end of 1999, many of the numerous shareholder lawsuits that were filed against the company following the disclosure of improper accounting at HBO & Company were consolidated into a single action. This, and other related litigation, is progressing through the judicial process. A discussion of these matters appears in our fiscal 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In conclusion, I want to thank the management team and all McKesson HBOC, Inc., employees for their commitment and contributions during a challenging period. Having assembled a unique and valuable offering of products and services to meet the evolving needs of our customers across the healthcare spectrum, the company is well-positioned to deliver increased shareholder value. A L A N S E E L E N F R E U N D Chairman of the Board M C K / A R 2 0 0 0 0 3 . To Our Shareholders, Customers and Employees In January 1999, the world’s largest healthcare supply management company came together with the world’s largest healthcare information technology company to pro- vide customers with a single source for enterprise-wide solutions to reduce costs and improve quality. Today, as that strategy is being emulated by competitors and new market entrants, we still find no other company that is as well-positioned as McKesson HBOC, Inc. Our mission, to advance the health of the healthcare system by advancing the success of our partners, reflects the commitment of our employees to make a positive impact every day on the quality of care experienced by patients. McKesson HBOC, Inc., continues to have market-leading positions and significant rev- enue momentum from which to extend its growth. For the second consecutive year, revenues excluding sales to customers’ warehouses increased in excess of 20 percent. Healthcare supply management revenues were up 24 percent, to $26.8 billion. This above-market growth advanced McKessonHBOC’s position as the nation’s largest dis- tributor of pharmaceuticals and medical-surgical supplies and provides a strong base for sales of additional products and services from our comprehensive set of solutions. McKessonHBOC’s offering ranges from supply chain management to pharmacy automation, pharmacy outsourcing and a full set of systems and programs for inde- pendent pharmacies, drug chains, the pharmacies of food stores and mass merchan- disers, and hospitals and long-term care facilities. M C K / A R 2 0 0 0 0 4 . A D V A N C I N G T H E H E A L T H O F T H E H E A L T H C A R E S Y S T E M We were not satisfied, however, by the operating profit performance in this segment. To address this, we have placed the leadership for all pharmaceutical and medical- surgical distribution activities into a single operating unit and put in place a stronger, more integrated management team to take advantage of our comprehensive offering. This team is undertaking a series of initiatives designed to improve business process- es and efficiencies, including company-wide implementation of the proven Six Sigma approach to deliver higher quality and financial returns. The goal is to expand supply management operating margins and maintain a strong revenue growth rate. In late April, McKessonHBOC joined with four of the nation’s other largest healthcare distributors to announce the formation of an independent, Internet-based exchange, further positioning the company to help advance industry health. The exchange will focus on creating new standards and efficiencies in product ordering and contract man- agement, promising to revolutionize the healthcare supply chain. The new exchange is projected to begin operations by the end of calendar 2000 and will complement the many eSupply activities underway across the supply management business. M C K / A R 2 0 0 0 0 5 . McKessonHBOC’s information technology revenues of $1.2 billion continue to lead the industry. McKessonHBOC has the largest presence in domestic health systems and hospitals, with solutions in 65 percent of the nation’s largest hospitals and more than half of the nation’s health systems. We also serve a significant share of the nation’s large physician practices, payors and homecare organizations, with a broad set of information solutions ranging from stand-alone products to comprehensive outsourcing and consulting services. Key initiatives are underway to meet the needs of our information technology cus- tomers, including products and services to reduce medication errors and enable com- pliance with new regulations such as those which will be required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Helping customers improve effi- ciency while complying with HIPAA represents a major business opportunity. Web- enabling existing and new McKessonHBOC products to leverage the power of the Internet for customers’ benefit should provide additional opportunities to grow this business. With its large installed base and breadth of value-delivering solutions for cus- tomers, McKessonHBOC is well-positioned for long-term revenue and profit growth. In addition, information technology plays a key role in McKessonHBOC’s e-commerce strategies. For example, our materials management software is installed in more than 1,100 hospital sites, where it runs the purchasing and inventory of supplies and equip- ment in these enterprises. This software is a valuable connection to eSupply activities at both McKessonHBOC and at the emerging industry exchanges being formed to M C K / A R 2 0 0 0 0 6 . A D V A N C I N G T H E H E A L T H O F T H E H E A L T H C A R E S Y S T E M gain supply chain efficiencies. A recently formed Corporate Solutions Group will focus on bringing the company’s combined information and supply management offering to more customers, more quickly. To rapidly bring new physician and medical management solutions to market, the company recently formed a new business unit, iMcKesson. The goal of iMcKesson is to use the power of the Internet and other innovative, emerging technologies to share information real-time and drive improved clinical outcomes, cost efficiencies and increased satisfaction for all healthcare participants. iMcKesson’s immediate focus is on new offerings to physicians and payors, designed to connect the participants in the healthcare system and improve lives. iMcKesson is launching an ASP (applications service provider)-delivered physician office solution that supports: Administrative and clinical connectivity, including claims, eligibility, prescribing, clinical orders and clinical hospital reports, Web-based practice management, Web-based clinical applications, including orders and results, and medical record documentation, Patient-physician communications, including personalized content and messaging. M C K / A R 2 0 0 0 0 7 . In addition, iMcKesson today provides a comprehensive suite of medical manage- ment products and services designed for the effective and efficient delivery of clinical care. Extending from our evidence-based, industry standard clinical practice guide- lines, these products and services will increasingly leverage the Internet to ensure that patients are directed to the appropriate care setting, and that their episode or dis- ease is effectively managed. The potential of these offerings is so great, and the need for action so urgent, that dedicated focus and leadership is required at the highest level. Therefore, David Mahoney, who has been overseeing the development of several eHealth initiatives, will become CEO of iMcKesson and devote his full energies to its rapid and successful build-out. John Hammergren will become CEO of all other operations of McKessonHBOC which include Information Technology, Supply Management, Automation, the Pharmaceutical Partners Group and corporate functions. Each of us will have singular responsibility and accountability to the Board of Directors for the financial and strategic performance of his respective organization. In addition, we will manage sustainable partnerships between the two business units to continue to create value for the company overall. M C K / A R 2 0 0 0 0 8 . A D V A N C I N G T H E H E A L T H O F T H E H E A L T H C A R E S Y S T E M The sale of our Water Products business in early 2000 for more than $700 million in cash after taxes completed McKesson HBOC, Inc.’s transition to a dedicated health- care company. Early in the year, an investment in WebMD was harvested, delivering $169 million in cash, and a private placement of $335 million of long-term debt was completed. These transactions reduced the company’s debt-to-capital ratio to a historic low, significantly strengthening the balance sheet and providing financial flexibility to take advantage of opportunities to build value. With the organizational changes to enhance focus, and the initiatives taken across the company, we believe the necessary actions are underway to create long-term share- holder value on a sustained basis. A chart showing the strategic evolution of McKesson HBOC, Inc., over the past decade follows this letter. The chart maps, through internal development and acquisitions, the transformation of a drug wholesaler with other non-strategic businesses into the most-comprehensive healthcare services company in the world. We are confident that our far-reaching penetration of healthcare sites, large installed base of informa- tion systems and unique offering of products and services that deliver measurable value to our customers, provide a significant competitive advantage to execute our strategy for improved financial performance and value creation.
