| Consolidation | The accompanying financial statements present the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Cencora, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including less-than-wholly-owned subsidiaries in which Cencora, Inc. has a controlling financial interest (the “Company”), as of the dates and for the periods indicated.

| Use of Estimates | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ from these estimated amounts. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-period amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

| New Reporting Structure | New Reporting Structure The Company undertook a strategic review of its business to ensure alignment with its growth priorities and strategic drivers. As a result of this review, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company reorganized certain business components within its reporting structure. The Company’s revised reporting structure is comprised of U.S. Healthcare Solutions, International Healthcare Solutions, and Other. The U.S. Healthcare Solutions reportable segment consists of U.S. Human Health (excluding legacy U.S. Consulting Services). The International Healthcare Solutions reportable segment consists of Alliance Healthcare, Innomar, World Courier, and strategic components of PharmaLex. Other, which is not considered a reportable segment, consists of businesses for which the Company has begun to explore strategic alternatives and includes MWI Animal Health, Profarma, U.S. Consulting Services (which was divested in April 2026), and the other components of PharmaLex. The Company’s previously reported segment results have been revised to conform to its re-aligned reporting structure.

| Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements As of June 30, 2026, there were no recently-adopted accounting standards that had a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or notes to the financial statements upon their adoption. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”).” ASU 2023-09 requires entities to provide additional information in their tax rate reconciliation and additional disclosures about income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied prospectively, but entities have the option to apply it retrospectively for each period presented. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”).” ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. Expense captions should be disaggregated to include expenses related to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. ASU 2024-03 applies to public entities and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance.
