Part I
|
||
Item 1: Business
General
Cardinal Health, Inc. is an Ohio corporation formed in 1979. As used in this report, “we,” “our,” “us” and similar pronouns refer to Cardinal Health, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise. We are a healthcare services company providing pharmaceutical and medical products and services that help pharmacies, hospitals and other healthcare providers focus on patient care while reducing costs, enhancing efficiency and improving quality. We also provide medical products to patients in the home.
Our fiscal year ends on June 30. References to fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
are to the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2014
,
2013
and
2012
, respectively. Except as otherwise specified, information in this Form 10-K is provided as of
June 30, 2014
.
We report our financial results in two segments: Pharmaceutical and Medical.
Pharmaceutical Segment
In the United States, the Pharmaceutical segment:
|
•
|
distributes branded and generic pharmaceutical, over-the-counter healthcare and consumer products through its Pharmaceutical Distribution division to retailers (including chain and independent drug stores and pharmacy departments of supermarkets and mass merchandisers), hospitals and other healthcare providers. This division:
|
|
•
|
maintains prime vendor relationships that streamline the purchasing process resulting in greater efficiency and lower costs for our customers;
|
|
•
|
renders services to pharmaceutical manufacturers including distribution, inventory management, data reporting, new product launch support, and contract pricing and chargeback administration;
|
|
•
|
provides pharmacy services to hospitals and other healthcare facilities; and
|
|
•
|
franchises retail pharmacies under the Medicine Shoppe
®
and Medicap
®
brands;
|
|
•
|
operates nuclear pharmacies and cyclotron facilities through its Nuclear Pharmacy Services division that manufacture, prepare and deliver radiopharmaceuticals for use in nuclear imaging and other procedures in hospitals and physician offices; and
|
|
•
|
distributes specialty pharmaceutical products, provides services to pharmaceutical manufacturers, third-party payors and healthcare providers supporting the development, marketing, distribution and payment for specialty pharmaceutical products, and operates specialty pharmacies through its Specialty Solutions division.
|
In China, the Pharmaceutical segment distributes branded, generic and specialty pharmaceutical, over-the-counter
healthcare and consumer products as well as provides logistics, marketing and other services and operates direct-to-patient specialty pharmacies through Cardinal Health China.
Pharmaceutical Distribution
Our Pharmaceutical Distribution division generates gross margin when the aggregate selling price to our customers exceeds the aggregate cost of products sold. Gross margin includes margin from our generic pharmaceutical programs, margin from branded pharmaceutical distribution agreements and cash discounts. Margin from our generic pharmaceutical programs includes price discounts and rebates and may include price appreciation on some products. Our earnings on generic pharmaceuticals are generally highest during the period immediately following the initial launch of a generic product because generic pharmaceutical selling prices are generally highest during that period and tend to decline over time. Margin from branded pharmaceutical distribution agreements refers primarily to fees we receive for rendering a range of distribution and related services to manufacturers and also includes benefits from pharmaceutical price appreciation.
Joint Venture With CVS Caremark
In
July 2014
, we established Red Oak Sourcing, LLC (“Red Oak Sourcing”), a U.S.-based generic pharmaceutical sourcing entity with CVS Caremark Corporation (“CVS”) with an initial term of
10 years
. Both companies have contributed sourcing and supply chain expertise to the 50/50 joint venture and have committed to source generic pharmaceuticals through arrangements negotiated by it. Red Oak Sourcing will negotiate generic pharmaceutical supply contracts on behalf of both companies, but will not own products or hold inventory on behalf of either company. We are required to pay
39
quarterly payments of
$25.6 million
to CVS commencing in October 2014 and, only if certain milestones are achieved, to pay additional predetermined amounts to CVS beginning in fiscal 2016. The fixed payments of
$25.6 million
will be expensed evenly commencing with the ramp-up of the venture, which we expect to begin by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2015. No physical assets were contributed by either company to Red Oak Sourcing, and minimal funding has been provided to capitalize the entity.
Specialty Pharmaceutical Products and Services
We refer to products and services offered by our Specialty Solutions division as “specialty pharmaceutical products and services.” The Specialty Solutions division distributes oncology, rheumatology, urology and other pharmaceutical products ("specialty pharmaceutical products") and human-derived plasma products to hospitals, physician offices and other healthcare providers; provides consulting, patient support, logistics and other services to pharmaceutical manufacturers, third-party payors and healthcare providers primarily supporting the development, marketing, distribution and payment for specialty pharmaceutical products; and operates specialty

pharmacies. Our use of the terminology "specialty pharmaceutical products and services" may not be comparable to the use of that terminology by other industry participants.
Pharmaceutical Segment Financial Statements
See Note 15 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for Pharmaceutical segment revenue, profit and assets for fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
.
Medical Segment
The Medical segment distributes a broad range of medical, surgical and laboratory products to hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, clinical laboratories, physician offices and other healthcare providers in the United States, Canada and China and to patients in the home in the United States through our Cardinal Health at Home division ("Home division"), which was formerly known as our AssuraMed division. This segment also manufactures, sources and develops its own line of private brand medical and surgical products. Manufactured products include: single-use surgical drapes, gowns and apparel; exam and surgical gloves; and fluid suction and collection systems. The segment began to manufacture extravascular closure devices after the acquisition of Access Closure, Inc. ("AccessClosure") in May 2014. We expect to expand the segment's product offering for orthopedic, cardiovascular and other procedures. This segment also assembles and offers sterile and non-sterile procedure kits. Our manufactured products are sold directly or through third-party distributors in the United States, Canada, Europe and other regions internationally.
In addition, the segment provides supply chain services, including spend management, distribution management and inventory management services, to healthcare providers.

|
In addition, we completed several smaller acquisitions during the last five fiscal years, including AccessClosure, a manufacturer and distributor of extravascular closure devices in the United States, in fiscal 2014 and Futuremed Healthcare Products Corporation, a Canadian medical product distributor, in fiscal 2012.
During the past five fiscal years, we also completed several divestitures, including selling our United Kingdom-based Martindale injectable manufacturing business in fiscal 2010. In addition, effective August 31, 2009, we separated our clinical and medical products businesses (the "CareFusion Spin-Off") through a distribution to our shareholders of 81 percent of the then outstanding common stock of CareFusion Corporation ("CareFusion"). During fiscal 2010 and 2011, we disposed of the remaining shares of CareFusion common stock.
Customers
Our largest customer, CVS, accounted for
28 percent
of our fiscal
2014
revenue. In the aggregate, our five largest customers, including CVS, accounted for
42 percent
of our fiscal
2014
revenue. Our pharmaceutical distribution contract with Walgreen Co. ("Walgreens"), which was our second largest customer in fiscal
2013
and our third largest in fiscal 2014, expired in August 2013. Walgreens accounted for
4 percent
of our fiscal 2014 revenue.
In addition, we have agreements with group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”) that act as agents to negotiate vendor contracts on behalf of their members. Our two largest GPO relationships in terms of member revenue are with Novation, LLC and Premier Purchasing Partners, L.P. Sales to members of these two GPOs, under numerous contracts across all of our
3
|
Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries
|
||
businesses, collectively accounted for
17 percent
of our revenue in fiscal
2014
.
Suppliers
We rely on many different suppliers. Products obtained from our five largest suppliers accounted for an aggregate of
24 percent
of our revenue during fiscal
2014
, but no single supplier’s products accounted for more than
6 percent
of revenue. Overall, we believe our relationships with our suppliers are good.
The Pharmaceutical Distribution division is a party to distribution service agreements with pharmaceutical manufacturers. These agreements have terms ranging from one year to five years. Most provide for an automatic renewal feature of one year. Some agreements allow either party and in some instances only the manufacturer to terminate the agreement without cause subject to a defined notice period.
Competition
We operate in a highly competitive environment in the distribution of pharmaceuticals and related healthcare services. We also operate in a highly competitive environment in the development, manufacturing and distribution of medical and surgical products. We compete on many levels, including service offerings, support services, breadth of product lines and price.
In the Pharmaceutical segment, we compete with wholesale distributors with national reach (including McKesson Corporation and AmerisourceBergen Corporation), regional wholesale distributors, self-warehousing chains, specialty distributors, third-party logistics companies, companies that provide services supporting the development, marketing, distribution and payment for specialty pharmaceutical products and nuclear pharmacies, among others.
In addition, the Pharmaceutical segment has experienced competition from a number of organizations offering generic pharmaceuticals, including telemarketers. We also compete with manufacturers that sell all or part of their product offerings directly.
In the Medical segment, we compete with many different national medical product distributors, including Owens & Minor, Inc., McKesson Corporation and Medline Industries, Inc. We also compete with regional medical product distributors and companies that distribute medical products to patients in the home as well as third-party logistics companies. In addition, we compete with manufacturers that sell all or part of their product offerings directly. Competitors of the Medical segment’s manufacturing and procedural kit businesses include diversified healthcare companies as well as companies that are more focused on specific product categories.
Employees
At
June 30, 2014
, we had approximately 23,900 employees in the United States and approximately 10,100 employees outside of the United States. Overall, we consider our employee relations to be good.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of trade secret, patent, copyright and trademark laws, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and technical measures to protect our products, services and intangible assets. We hold patents relating to some medical and surgical products and to distribution of our nuclear pharmacy products and service offerings. We also operate under licenses for certain proprietary technologies, and in certain instances we license our technologies to third parties.
We believe that we have taken all necessary steps to protect our proprietary rights, but no assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully enforce or protect our rights in the event that they are infringed upon by a third party. While all of these proprietary rights are important to our operations, we do not consider any particular patent, trademark, license, franchise or concession to be material to our overall business.
Regulatory Matters
Our business is highly regulated in the United States at both the federal and state level and in foreign countries. Depending upon their specific business, our subsidiaries may be subject to regulation by government entities including:
|
•
|
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”);
|
|
•
|
the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (the “DEA”);
|
|
•
|
the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the “NRC”);
|
|
•
|
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services;
|
|
•
|
the U.S. Federal Trade Commission;
|
|
•
|
U.S. Customs and Border Protection;
|
|
•
|
state boards of pharmacy;
|
|
•
|
state controlled substance agencies;
|
|
•
|
state health departments, insurance departments or other comparable state agencies; and
|
|
•
|
foreign agencies that are comparable to those listed above.
|
These regulatory agencies have a variety of civil, administrative and criminal sanctions at their disposal for failure to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements. They can suspend our ability to distribute products or can initiate product recalls; they can seize products or impose criminal, civil and administrative sanctions; and they can seek injunctions to halt the manufacture and distribution of products.
Distribution
The FDA, DEA and various state authorities regulate the marketing, purchase, storage and distribution of pharmaceutical and medical products under various state and federal statutes including the Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987 and the Federal Controlled Substances Act (the "CSA"), which governs the sale, packaging, storage and distribution of controlled substances. Wholesale distributors of controlled substances must hold valid DEA registrations and state-level licenses, meet various security and operating standards, and comply with the
4
|
Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries
|
||
CSA. In May 2014, our Lakeland, Florida pharmaceutical distribution center's DEA registration to distribute controlled substances was reinstated in accordance with a settlement agreement that we had entered into with the DEA in May 2012, as further discussed in Note 9 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."
Manufacturing and Marketing
Our subsidiaries that manufacture and source medical devices or pharmaceuticals are subject to regulation by the FDA or comparable foreign agencies that administer regulations such as compliance with good manufacturing practices and quality systems.
The FDA and other domestic and foreign governmental agencies administer requirements that cover the design, testing, safety, effectiveness, manufacturing, labeling, promotion and advertising, distribution, importation and post-market surveillance of some of our manufactured products. We need specific approval or clearance from regulatory authorities before we can market and sell many of our products in particular countries. Even after we obtain approval or clearance to market a product, the product and our manufacturing processes are subject to continued regulatory oversight. It can be costly and time-consuming to obtain regulatory approvals or clearances to market a medical device, and such approvals or clearances might not be granted on a timely basis, if at all.
From time to time, we may determine that products we manufacture or market do not meet our specifications, regulatory requirements, or published standards. When we or a regulatory agency identify a quality or regulatory issue, we investigate and take appropriate corrective action, which may include withdrawing the product from the market, correcting the product at the customer location, revising product labeling, and notifying customers.
Nuclear Pharmacies and Related Businesses
Our nuclear pharmacies and cyclotron facilities require licenses or permits and must abide by regulations issued by the NRC, applicable state boards of pharmacy and the radiologic health agency or department of health of each state in which we operate. In addition, our cyclotron facilities must comply with the FDA's good manufacturing practices regulations for positron emission tomography, or PET, drugs.
Prescription Drug Tracing and Supply Chain Integrity
In November 2013, the U.S. Congress enacted the Drug Supply Chain Security Act. This law establishes a phased-in national system for tracing pharmaceutical products through the pharmaceutical distribution supply chain to prevent the introduction of counterfeit, adulterated or mislabeled drugs. The first phase of implementation will begin January 1, 2015, and upon full implementation in 2023, supply chain stakeholders will participate in an electronic, interoperable, prescription drug tracing system.
Government Healthcare Programs
We are subject to U.S. federal healthcare fraud and abuse laws. These laws generally prohibit persons from soliciting, offering, receiving or paying any compensation in order to induce someone to order or purchase items or services that are in any way paid for by Medicare, Medicaid or other federally-funded healthcare programs. They also prohibit submitting or causing to be submitted any fraudulent claim for payment by the federal government. There are often similar state healthcare fraud and abuse laws that apply to Medicaid and other state-funded healthcare programs. Violations of these laws may result in criminal or civil penalties, as well as breach of contract claims and
qui tam
actions (false claims cases initiated by private parties purporting to act on behalf of federal or state governments).
Our Home division is a Medicare-certified supplier and participates in state Medicaid programs with respect to a small portion of its business. It must meet quality standards and maintain accreditation to receive government reimbursement, and must comply with applicable billing, payment and record-keeping requirements. Failure to comply with quality standards and billing requirements could result in civil or criminal sanctions, including the loss of our ability to participate in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs.
In addition, our U.S. federal and state government contracts are subject to specific procurement regulations. Failure to comply with applicable rules or regulations or with contractual or other requirements may result in monetary damages and criminal or civil penalties as well as termination of our government contracts or our suspension or debarment from government contract work.
Health and Personal Information Practices
Some of our businesses collect, handle and maintain patient-identifiable healthcare information. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as augmented by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, as well as some state laws, regulate the use and disclosure of patient-identifiable health information, including requiring specified privacy and security measures. Federal and state officials have increasingly focused on how patient-identifiable healthcare information should be handled, secured and disclosed.
Some of our businesses collect, handle and maintain other sensitive personal information that is subject to federal and state laws protecting such information. Security and disclosure of personal information is also highly regulated in many other countries in which we operate.
Environmental, Health and Safety Laws
In the United States and other countries, we are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws, as well as laws relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices.
5

Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Laws Relating to Foreign Trade and Operations
U.S. and foreign laws require us to abide by standards relating to the import and export of finished goods, raw materials and supplies and the handling of information. We also must comply with various export control and trade embargo laws, which may require licenses or other authorizations for transactions within some countries or with some counterparties.
Similarly, we are subject to U.S. and foreign laws concerning the conduct of our foreign operations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Chinese anti-corruption laws and other foreign anti-bribery laws. Among other things, these laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from offering, promising or making payments to officials of foreign governments for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business.
Regulation in China
Our China operations are subject to national, regional and local regulations, including licensing and regulatory requirements of the China National Health and Family Planning Commission, the State Administration of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Finance, the China Food and Drug Administration, the National Development and Reform Commission and the General Administration of Customs.
Other Information
Although our agreements with manufacturers sometimes require us to maintain inventory levels within specified ranges, our distribution businesses are generally not required by our customers to maintain particular inventory levels other than as needed to meet service level requirements. Certain supply contracts with U.S. government entities require us to maintain sufficient inventory to meet emergency demands, but we do not believe those requirements materially affect inventory levels.
Our customer return policies generally require that the product be physically returned, subject to restocking fees. We only allow customers to return products that can be added back to inventory and resold at full value, or that can be returned to vendors for credit.
We offer market payment terms to our customers.

Item 1A: Risk Factors
The risks described below could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows. These are not the only risks we face. Our businesses also could be affected by risks that we are not presently aware of or that we currently consider immaterial to our operations.
The U.S. healthcare environment is changing in many ways, some of which may not be favorable to us.
The healthcare industry continues to undergo significant changes designed to increase access to medical care, improve safety, contain costs and increase efficiencies. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement levels have declined; the use of managed care has increased; distributors, manufacturers, healthcare providers and pharmacy chains have consolidated and have formed strategic alliances; and large purchasing groups are prevalent. The industry also has experienced a shift away from traditional healthcare venues like hospitals and into clinics and physician offices, and, in some cases, patients’ homes. We could be adversely affected directly or indirectly (if our customers are adversely affected) by these and other changes in the delivery or pricing of, or reimbursement for, pharmaceuticals, medical devices or healthcare services.
We could suffer the adverse effects of competitive pressures.
As described in greater detail in "Item 1: Business" above, we operate in markets that are highly competitive. Because of competition, our businesses face continued pricing pressure from our customers and suppliers. If we are unable to offset margin reductions caused by these pricing pressures through steps such as sourcing or cost control measures or additional service offerings, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
In addition, in recent years, the healthcare industry has continued to consolidate. Further consolidation among our customers and suppliers could give the resulting enterprises greater bargaining power, which may adversely impact our results of operations.
Our Pharmaceutical segment's margin may be affected by prices established by manufacturers, fewer or less profitable generic pharmaceutical launches and other factors that are beyond our control.
As described in greater detail in "Item 1: Business" above, gross margin in our Pharmaceutical segment is impacted by generic and branded pharmaceutical price appreciation and the number
6
|
Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries
|
||
and value of generic pharmaceutical launches. In past years, these items have been substantial drivers of Pharmaceutical segment profit.
Prices for generic pharmaceuticals generally decline over time. But at times, some generic products experience price appreciation, which positively impacts our margins. The frequency and magnitude of future generic product price appreciation is uncertain.
Prices for branded pharmaceuticals, on the other hand, generally increase over time. The frequency and magnitude of branded product price appreciation also is uncertain, and branded manufacturers may determine not to increase prices or to implement only modest increases, which can limit our margin.
The number of new generic pharmaceutical launches varies from year to year, and the margin impact of new launches varies from product to product. Fewer generic pharmaceutical launches or launches that are less profitable than those previously experienced will have an adverse effect on our year-over-year margins.
Our business is subject to rigorous regulatory and licensing requirements.
The healthcare industry is highly regulated. As described in greater detail in "Item 1: Business" above, we are subject to regulation in the United States at both the federal and state level and in China and other foreign countries. If we fail to comply with these regulatory requirements, or if allegations are made that we fail to comply, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
To lawfully operate our businesses, we are required to obtain and hold permits, licenses and other regulatory approvals from, and to comply with operating and security standards of, numerous governmental bodies. Failure to maintain or renew necessary permits, licenses or approvals, or to comply with required standards, could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Products that we manufacture, source, distribute or market are required to comply with regulatory requirements. Noncompliance or concerns over noncompliance may result in suspension of our ability to distribute, import or manufacture products, product recalls or seizures, or criminal or civil sanctions. In addition, it can be costly and time-consuming to obtain regulatory approvals to market a medical device, and such approvals might not be granted on a timely basis, if at all.
We are required to comply with laws relating to healthcare fraud and abuse. The requirements of these laws are extremely complex and subject to varying interpretations. It is possible that regulatory authorities could challenge our policies and practices, which may adversely affect our operations, results of operations and financial condition. If we fail to comply with these laws, we could be subject to federal or state government investigations
or

actions (false claims cases initiated by private parties purporting to act on behalf of federal or state governments), which could result in civil or criminal sanctions, including the loss of licenses or the ability to participate in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs.
Our Home division is a Medicare-certified supplier and participates in state Medicaid programs with respect to a small portion of its business. Its failure to comply with quality standards and billing requirements could result in civil or criminal sanctions, including the loss of our ability to participate in Medicare and other federal and state healthcare programs.
Our government contracts are subject to specific procurement regulations. Failure to comply with applicable rules or regulations or with contractual or other requirements may result in monetary damages and criminal or civil penalties as well as termination of our government contracts or our suspension or debarment from government contract work.
Our global operations are required to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Chinese anti-corruption laws and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions and U.S. and foreign export control, trade embargo and customs laws. If we fail to comply with any of these laws, we could suffer civil or criminal sanctions.
Our China operations are subject to national, regional and local regulations. The regulatory environment in China is evolving, and officials in the Chinese government exercise broad discretion in deciding how to interpret and apply regulations. It is possible that the Chinese government's current or future interpretation and application of existing or new regulations will negatively impact our China operations, result in regulatory investigations or lead to fines or penalties.
CVS Caremark is a large customer that generates a significant amount of our revenue.
Our sales and credit concentration is significant. CVS accounted for
28 percent
of our fiscal
2014
revenue and
22 percent
of our gross trade receivable balance at
June 30, 2014
. If CVS were to terminate the agreement due to an alleged default by us, default in payment or significantly reduce its purchases of our products and services, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
The anticipated benefits of our generic pharmaceutical sourcing joint venture with CVS Caremark may not be realized.
In
July 2014
, we established the Red Oak Sourcing joint venture with CVS with an initial term of
10 years
. Red Oak Sourcing will negotiate generic pharmaceutical supply contracts on behalf of both companies. We are required to pay 39 quarterly payments of
$25.6 million
to CVS commencing in October 2014 without regard to the level of benefits we receive. If the benefits of the joint venture do not exceed our required payments to CVS, our
7

results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We could be subject to adverse changes in the tax laws or challenges to our tax positions.
We are a large multinational corporation with operations in the United States and many foreign countries. As a result, we are subject to the tax laws of many jurisdictions. From time to time, legislative initiatives are proposed in the United States, such as the repeal of last-in, first-out, or LIFO, treatment of inventory or a change in the current U.S. taxation of income earned by foreign subsidiaries, that could adversely affect our tax positions, effective tax rate, tax payments or financial condition. Tax laws are extremely complex and subject to varying interpretations. Tax authorities have challenged some of our tax positions and it is possible that they will challenge others. These challenges may adversely affect our effective tax rate, tax payments or financial condition.
Our business and operations depend on the proper functioning of information systems and critical facilities.
We rely on our information systems to obtain, rapidly process, analyze and manage data to:
|
•
|
facilitate the purchase and distribution of inventory items from numerous distribution centers;
|
|
•
|
receive, process and ship orders on a timely basis;
|
|
•
|
manage the accurate billing and collections for thousands of customers;
|
|
•
|
process payments to suppliers;
|
|
•
|
facilitate the manufacturing and assembly of medical products; and
|
|
•
|
generate financial information.
|
Our business also depends on the proper functioning of our critical facilities, including our national logistics center. Our results of operations could be adversely affected if our information systems or critical facilities, or our customers' access to them, are interrupted; these systems or facilities are damaged; or these systems or facilities fail, whether due to physical disruptions, such as fire, natural disaster, pandemic or power outage, or due to cyber security incidents or other actions of third parties.
Our business relies on the secure transmission, storage and hosting of sensitive information, including patient-identifiable health information, financial information and other sensitive information relating to our customers, company and workforce. The techniques used by those seeking to obtain unauthorized access to our information systems, or disable them, degrade their service or sabotage them, change frequently. In addition, these techniques may be difficult to detect for a long time and often are not recognized until launched against a target. As a result, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. Any compromise of our information systems or those of a third-party service
provider, including the unauthorized access, use or disclosure of sensitive information, could adversely impact our operations, results of operations or our ability to satisfy legal requirements, including those related to patient-identifiable health information.
Because of the nature of our business, we may become involved in legal proceedings that could adversely impact our cash flows or results of operations.
Due to the nature of our businesses, which includes the manufacture and distribution of healthcare products, we may from time to time become involved in disputes or legal proceedings. For instance, some of the products that we manufacture or distribute may be alleged to cause personal injury or violate the intellectual property rights of another party, subjecting us to product liability or infringement claims.
Our Medical segment's manufacturing businesses operate in an industry characterized by extensive intellectual property litigation. Patent litigation is costly to defend and can result in significant damage awards and injunctions that could prevent the manufacture and sale of affected products or force us to make royalty payments in order to continue selling the affected products.
We also may be named in breach of contract claims or
qui tam
actions (false claims cases initiated by private parties purporting to act on behalf of federal or state governments). Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these legal proceedings could adversely affect our cash flows or results of operations.
Acquisitions can have unanticipated results.
An important element of our growth strategy has been to acquire other businesses that expand or complement our existing businesses. In fiscal 2014, we spent $
519 million
to acquire other businesses. Acquisitions involve risks: we may overpay for a business or fail to realize the synergies and other benefits we expect from the acquisition; future developments may impair the value of our purchased goodwill or intangible assets; or we may encounter unforeseen accounting, internal control, regulatory or compliance issues.
We depend on certain suppliers to make their raw materials and products available to us and are subject to fluctuations in costs of raw materials and products.
We depend on the availability of various components, compounds, raw materials (including radioisotopes) and energy supplied by others for our operations. Any of our supplier relationships could be interrupted due to events beyond our control, including natural disasters, or could be terminated. A sustained supply interruption could have an adverse effect on our business.
Our manufacturing businesses use oil-based resins, cotton, latex and other commodities as raw materials in many products. Prices of oil and gas also affect our distribution and transportation costs. Prices of these commodities are volatile
8
|
Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries
|
||
and can fluctuate significantly, causing our costs to produce and distribute our products to fluctuate. Due to competitive dynamics and contractual limitations, we may be unable to pass along cost increases through higher prices. If we cannot fully offset cost increases through other cost reductions, or recover these costs through price increases or surcharges, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our global operations are subject to economic, political and currency risks.
Our global operations are affected by local economic environments, including inflation, recession, currency volatility and competition. Political changes also can disrupt our global operations, as well as our customers and suppliers, in a particular location. We may not be able to hedge or obtain insurance to protect us against these risks, and any hedges or insurance may be expensive and may not successfully mitigate these risks.
Economic conditions may adversely affect demand for our products and services
.
Deterioration in general economic conditions in the United States and other countries in which we do business could adversely affect the amount of prescriptions filled and the number of medical procedures undertaken and, therefore, reduce purchases of our products and services by our customers, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Item 1B: Unresolved Staff Comments
Not applicable.
Item 2: Properties
In the United States, at
June 30, 2014
, the Pharmaceutical segment operated 21 primary pharmaceutical distribution facilities and one national logistics center; three specialty distribution facilities;
and over 140 nuclear pharmacy facilities.
The Medical segment operated 60 medical-surgical distribution, assembly, manufacturing and other facilities. Our U.S. operating facilities are located in 45 states and in Puerto Rico.
Outside the United States, at
June 30, 2014
, our Medical segment operated over 20 facilities in Canada, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico and Thailand that engage in manufacturing, distribution or research. In addition, our
Pharmaceutical and Medical segments utilized various distribution and pharmacy facilities in China.
At
June 30, 2014
, we owned over 70 operating facilities and leased more than 200 operating facilities. Our principal executive offices are headquartered in an owned building located at 7000 Cardinal Place in Dublin, Ohio.
We consider our operating properties to be in satisfactory condition and adequate to meet our present needs. However, we regularly evaluate operating properties and may make further additions and improvements or consolidate locations as we seek opportunities to expand or enhance the efficiency of our business.
Item 3: Legal Proceedings
In addition to the proceedings described below, the legal proceedings described in Note 9 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" are incorporated in this "Item 3: Legal Proceedings" by reference.
In June 2012, Henry Stanley, Jr., a purported shareholder, filed a derivative action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio against the current and certain former members of our Board of Directors. The complaint alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the DEA's past suspensions of our distribution centers’ registrations to distribute controlled substances. In October 2012, the U.S. District Court dismissed the derivative action with prejudice, and in August 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals affirmed the decision. In September 2013, the same plaintiff made demand on our Board of Directors to take action against current and certain former members of our Board of Directors based on the allegations made in the derivative action. A special committee of independent directors investigated the allegations made in the demand. After receiving and evaluating the special committee's findings and recommendations, our Board of Directors determined in February 2014 that pursuing the claims set forth in the demand was not in the best interest of the company. In May 2014, another purported shareholder made a similar demand on our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors, through the special committee, is in the process of reviewing the allegations made in this new demand.

Performance Graph
Five Year Performance Graph
The following line graph compares the cumulative total return of our common shares with the cumulative total return of the Standard & Poor’s Composite—500 Stock Index (the "S&P 500 Index") and the Standard & Poor's Composite—500 Healthcare Index (the "S&P 500 Healthcare Index"). The line graph assumes, in each case, an initial investment of $100 on June 30, 2009, based on the market prices at the end of each fiscal year through and including
June 30, 2014
, and reinvestment of dividends. The S&P 500 Index and S&P 500 Healthcare Index investments are weighted on the basis of market capitalization at the beginning of each period. We have adjusted the market price of our common shares prior to August 31, 2009 to reflect the CareFusion Spin-Off on August 31, 2009.

Financial Review
|
||
Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The discussion and analysis presented below refers to, and should be read in conjunction with, the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-K. Unless otherwise indicated, throughout this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, we are referring to our continuing operations.
Overview
We are a healthcare services company providing pharmaceutical and medical products and services that help pharmacies, hospitals and other healthcare providers focus on patient care while reducing costs, enhancing efficiency and improving quality. We also provide medical products to patients in the home.
We report our financial results in two segments: Pharmaceutical and Medical.
During fiscal
2014
, revenue decreased
10 percent
to
$91.1 billion
largely due to the previously disclosed expiration of our pharmaceutical distribution contract with Walgreen Co. ("Walgreens") on August 31, 2013.
Gross margin increased
5 percent
to
$5.2 billion
reflecting the positive impact of acquisitions and strong performance from generic programs, offset in part by the impact of the Walgreens contract expiration.
Operating earnings increased to
$1.9 billion
and earnings from continuing operations increased to
$1.2 billion
due primarily to an
$829 million
(
$799 million
, net of tax) non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division in fiscal
2013
.
Our cash and equivalents balance was
$2.9 billion
at
June 30, 2014
compared to
$1.9 billion
at
June 30, 2013
. The
increase
in cash and equivalents during fiscal
2014
was driven by net cash provided by operating activities of
$2.5 billion
, which includes the decrease in our net working capital associated with the Walgreens contract expiration. Net cash provided by operating activities was deployed for share repurchases (
$673 million
), acquisitions (
$519 million
) and dividends (
$415 million
). We plan to continue to execute a balanced deployment of available capital to position ourselves for sustainable competitive advantage and to enhance shareholder value.
Walgreens Contract
The Walgreens contract expiration unfavorably impacted period-over-period comparisons of revenue and operating earnings for fiscal
2014
, but favorably affected net cash provided by operating activities due to a significant reduction in net working capital. Because revenue from Walgreens was $3.3 billion during the first quarter of fiscal
2014
, we expect the
contract expiration to have an adverse impact on our period-over-period comparisons of revenue and operating earnings during the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
Joint Venture With CVS Caremark
In
July 2014
, we established Red Oak Sourcing, LLC (“Red Oak Sourcing”), a U.S.-based generic pharmaceutical sourcing entity with CVS Caremark Corporation (“CVS”) with an initial term of
10 years
. Both companies have contributed sourcing and supply chain expertise to the 50/50 joint venture and have committed to source generic pharmaceuticals through arrangements negotiated by it. Red Oak Sourcing will negotiate generic pharmaceutical supply contracts on behalf of both companies, but will not own products or hold inventory on behalf of either company. We are required to pay
39
quarterly payments of
$25.6 million
to CVS commencing in October 2014 and, only if certain milestones are achieved, to pay additional predetermined amounts to CVS beginning in fiscal 2016. The fixed payments of
$25.6 million
will be expensed evenly commencing with the ramp-up of the venture, which we expect to begin by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2015. No physical assets were contributed by either company to Red Oak Sourcing, and minimal funding has been provided to capitalize the entity.
Acquisitions
We have completed several acquisitions since July 1, 2011, the largest of which were AssuraMed, Inc. ("AssuraMed") in fiscal
2013
and Access Closure, Inc. ("AccessClosure") in fiscal
2014
.
On
May 9, 2014
, we completed the acquisition of AccessClosure for
$320 million
in an all-cash transaction. We funded the acquisition with cash on hand. The acquisition of AccessClosure, a manufacturer and distributor of extravascular closure devices, expands the Medical segment's portfolio of self-manufactured products.
On
March 18, 2013
, we completed the acquisition of AssuraMed for
$2.07 billion
, net of cash acquired, in an all-cash transaction. We funded the acquisition through the issuance of
$1.3 billion
in fixed rate notes and cash on hand. The acquisition of AssuraMed, a provider of medical supplies to homecare providers and patients in the home, expands Medical segment's ability to serve this patient base. The AssuraMed division is now known as our Cardinal Health at Home division ("Home division"). This acquisition increased revenue and operating earnings during fiscal
2014
. The increase in amortization and other acquisition-related costs during fiscal
2014
was primarily due to intangible assets from this acquisition. We expect the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets to continue to be a significant expense in future periods.
See Note 2 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information on these acquisitions.

Goodwill
As part of our annual goodwill impairment test during fiscal
2013
, we concluded that the entire goodwill amount of our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division was impaired, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of
$829 million
(
$799 million
, net of tax). This impairment charge did not impact our liquidity, cash flows from operations, or compliance with debt covenants. See Note 5 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information.
Restructuring
On January 30, 2013, we announced a restructuring plan within our Medical segment. Under this restructuring plan, among other things, we have reorganized our Medical segment, moved production of procedure kits from our facility in Waukegan, Illinois to other facilities, and consolidated office space in Waukegan, Illinois. In addition, we are selling property in Waukegan, Illinois, and we are exiting our gamma sterilization business in El Paso, Texas. We currently estimate the total costs associated with this restructuring plan to be approximately
$74 million
on a pre-tax basis, of which
$18 million
and
$51 million
was recognized in fiscal
2014
and fiscal
2013
, respectively.
Trends
Within our Pharmaceutical segment, pharmaceutical price appreciation on some generic products positively impacted our margins during fiscal
2014
, but the frequency and magnitude of future generic product price appreciation is uncertain and the impact on earnings may be less in fiscal 2015 than in fiscal 2014.

Fiscal
2014
Compared to Fiscal
2013
Pharmaceutical Segment
Revenue for fiscal
2014
compared to fiscal
2013
was negatively impacted by the Walgreens contract expiration ($16.9 billion) and by the expiration of our pharmaceutical distribution contract with Express Scripts, Inc. ("Express Scripts") on September 30, 2012 ($2.0 billion). This decrease was partially offset by sales growth from existing pharmaceutical distribution customers ($7.1 billion).
Medical Segment
Revenue for fiscal
2014
compared to fiscal
2013
reflects the benefit of acquisitions ($816 million).
Fiscal
2013
Compared to Fiscal
2012
Pharmaceutical Segment
Revenue for fiscal
2013
compared to fiscal
2012
was negatively impacted by the expiration of our pharmaceutical distribution contract with Express Scripts (approximately $6.7 billion). Revenue from existing pharmaceutical distribution customers decreased by approximately $3.6 billion, primarily as a result of brand-to-generic pharmaceutical conversions. The decrease was partially offset by increased pharmaceutical distribution revenue from new customers (approximately $3.8 billion) and revenue growth within our Specialty Solutions division ($961 million).
Medical Segment
Revenue for fiscal
2013
compared to fiscal
2012
reflects the benefit of acquisitions ($459 million).
Cost of Products Sold
As a result of the same factors affecting the change in revenue, cost of products sold decreased
$10.2 billion
(
11 percent
) and
$6.8 billion
(
7 percent
) during fiscal
2014
and fiscal
2013
, respectively. See the gross margin discussion below for additional drivers impacting cost of products sold.

Fiscal
2014
Compared to Fiscal
2013
Gross margin increased during fiscal
2014
compared to fiscal
2013
($240 million), reflecting the positive impact of acquisitions ($221 million).
Gross margin for fiscal
2014
was positively impacted by $32 million due to sales growth, which primarily reflects growth from existing customers, and was largely offset by the impact of the Walgreens contract expiration.
Gross margin rate, apart from the impact of the Walgreens contract expiration, was flat for fiscal
2014
. Gross margin rate was positively impacted by strong performance from generic programs, including the impact of generic pharmaceutical price appreciation, and was adversely impacted by customer pricing changes.
Fiscal
2013
Compared to Fiscal
2012
Gross margin increased in fiscal
2013
compared to fiscal

driven by strong performance in our generic pharmaceutical programs ($350 million) and acquisitions ($131 million). Increased margin from branded pharmaceutical distribution agreements (exclusive of the related volume impact) also had a positive impact on gross margin ($81 million). Pricing changes, including rebates (exclusive of the related volume impact), adversely impacted gross margin ($211 million), driven in part by customer and product mix. The adverse impact of these
15

Segment Profit
We evaluate segment performance based upon segment profit, among other measures. See Note 15 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information on segment profit.
Pharmaceutical Segment Profit
The increase in fiscal
2014
over fiscal
2013
reflected the positive impact of sales growth, which primarily reflects growth from existing customers, and was largely offset by the impact of the Walgreens contract expiration. The impact of gross margin rate, apart from the impact of the Walgreens contract expiration, was flat for fiscal
2014
. Gross margin rate was positively impacted by strong performance from generic programs, including the impact of generic pharmaceutical price appreciation, and was adversely impacted by customer pricing changes.
The principal drivers for the increase in fiscal
2013
over fiscal
2012
were strong performance in our generic pharmaceutical programs and increased margin from branded pharmaceutical distribution agreements. These benefits were partially offset by the unfavorable impact of pharmaceutical distribution pricing changes and significant market softness in our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division.
Medical Segment Profit
The principal driver for the increase in fiscal
2014
over fiscal
2013
was the positive impact of acquisitions.
The principal drivers for the increase in fiscal
2013
over fiscal
2012
were the positive impact of acquisitions and decreased cost of commodities used in our self-manufactured products, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of pricing changes, driven in part by customer and product mix. Segment profit was also moderated by softness in procedural-based utilization. The 2.3 percent excise tax on certain manufactured or imported medical devices that became effective January 1, 2013 had a slightly unfavorable impact on segment profit.
Corporate
As discussed further below, the principal driver for the change in Corporate in fiscal
2014
and fiscal
2013
was an
$829 million
non-cash goodwill impairment charge recognized in fiscal
2013
related to our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division.
Consolidated Operating Earnings
In addition to revenue, gross margin and SG&A expenses discussed above, operating earnings were impacted by the following:

Restructuring and Employee Severance
In addition to other restructuring activities during fiscal
2014
and
2013
, we recognized restructuring costs of
$10 million
and
$40 million
, respectively, related to the restructuring plan in our Medical segment. We also recognized
$11 million
of employee-related costs related to a restructuring plan within our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division during the fourth quarter of fiscal
2013
.
Amortization and Other Acquisition-Related Costs
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets was $187 million, $118 million and $78 million for fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
, respectively. The increase in amortization during
2014
and
2013
was primarily due to intangible assets from the acquisition of AssuraMed. We also recognized transaction costs associated with the purchase of AssuraMed of $20 million during fiscal
2013
.
Amortization and other acquisition-related costs for fiscal
2012
included income recognized upon adjustment of the contingent consideration obligation incurred in connection with the Healthcare Solutions Holding, LLC ("P4 Healthcare") acquisition (
$71 million
). In early fiscal
2013
, we terminated and settled the remaining contingent consideration obligation for
$4 million

Provision for Income Taxes
Generally, fluctuations in the effective tax rate are due to changes within international and U.S. state effective tax rates resulting from our business mix and discrete items. A reconciliation of the provision based on the federal statutory income tax rate to our effective income tax rate from continuing operations is as follows (see Note 8 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for a detailed disclosure of the effective tax rate reconciliation):

Fiscal
2014
Compared to Fiscal
2013
The fiscal
2014
effective tax rate was impacted by net favorable discrete items of $37 million, which reduced the rate by 2.1 percentage points. The discrete items include the favorable impact of the settlement of federal and state tax controversies ($80 million) and release of valuation allowances ($12 million) and the unfavorable impact of remeasurement of unrecognized tax benefits ($65 million), primarily as a result of proposed assessments of additional tax.
Fiscal
2013
Compared to Fiscal
2012
The fiscal
2013
effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by 33.2 percentage points ($295 million) due to the nondeductibility of substantially all of the goodwill impairment which was partially offset by the favorable impact of the revaluation of our deferred tax liability and related interest on unrepatriated foreign earnings as a result of an agreement with tax authorities ($64 million or 7.2 percentage points).
Ongoing Audits
During fiscal
2014
, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") closed audits of fiscal years 2003 through 2005. The IRS is currently conducting audits of fiscal years 2006 through 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We currently believe that, based upon available capital resources (cash on hand and access to committed credit facilities) and projected operating cash flow, we have adequate capital resources to fund working capital needs; currently anticipated capital expenditures, business growth and expansion; contractual obligations; tax payments; and current and projected debt service requirements, dividends and share repurchases. If we decide to engage in one or more additional
17
|
Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries
|
||
|
Financial Review (continued)
|
||
acquisitions, depending on the size and timing of such transactions, we may need to access capital in addition to cash on hand and our existing committed credit facilities.
Cash and Equivalents
Our cash and equivalents balance was
$2.9 billion
at
June 30, 2014
, compared to
$1.9 billion
at
June 30, 2013
. At
June 30, 2014
, our cash and equivalents were held in cash depository accounts with major banks or invested in high quality, short-term liquid investments.
The
increase
in cash and equivalents during fiscal
2014
was driven by net cash provided by operating activities of
$2.5 billion
, which was deployed for share repurchases (
$673 million
), acquisitions (
$519 million
) and dividends (
$415 million
). As anticipated, net cash provided by operating activities benefited from a net working capital decrease in excess of $500 million as a result of the Walgreens contract expiration.
During fiscal
2013
, we deployed
$2.2 billion
of cash on acquisitions,
$450 million
on share repurchases and
$353 million
on dividends. During fiscal
2013
, we received net proceeds from long-term obligations of
$981 million
.
During fiscal
2012
, we deployed
$450 million
of cash on share repurchases,
$300 million
on dividends,
$260 million
on capital expenditures and
$174 million
on acquisitions. During fiscal
2012
, we received net proceeds from long-term obligations of
$290 million
.
Our working capital can vary significantly depending on factors such as customer payments of accounts receivable, the timing of inventory purchases and payments to vendors in the regular course of business. The decrease in net working capital at June 30,
2014
compared to June 30,
2013
is primarily a result of the Walgreens contract expiration.
The cash and equivalents balance at
June 30, 2014
included $420 million of cash held by subsidiaries outside of the United States. Although the vast majority of this cash is available for repatriation, permanently bringing the money into the United States could trigger U.S. federal, state and local income tax obligations. As a U.S. parent company, we may temporarily access cash held by our foreign subsidiaries without becoming subject to U.S. federal income tax through intercompany loans.
Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper
On
October 15, 2013
, we reduced our committed receivables sales facility program through Cardinal Health Funding, LLC ("CHF") from
$950 million
to
$700 million
in light of the Walgreens contract expiration. In addition to our committed receivables sales facility program, our sources of liquidity include a
$1.5 billion
revolving credit facility and a commercial paper program of up to
$1.5 billion
, backed by the revolving credit facility.
We had
no
outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, except for standby letters of credit
of zero and
$43 million
at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. We had
no
outstanding borrowings from the commercial paper program at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
. We had
no
outstanding balance under the committed receivables sales facility program at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, except for standby letters of credit of
$41 million
and zero at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. Our revolving credit facility and committed receivables sales facility program require us to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio, as of any fiscal quarter end, of
at least 4-to-1
and a consolidated leverage ratio of
no more than 3.25-to-1
. As of
June 30, 2014
, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.
Available-for-Sale Securities
During fiscal
2014
, we purchased
$100 million
of marketable securities, which are classified as available-for-sale.
Long-Term Obligations and Other Short-Term Borrowings
At
June 30, 2014
, we had total long-term obligations and other short-term borrowings of
$4.0 billion
compared to
$3.9 billion
at
June 30, 2013
.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures during fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
were
$249 million
,
$195 million
and
$260 million
, respectively.
We expect capital expenditures in fiscal
2015
to be between $335 million to $365 million primarily for growth projects in our core businesses as well as information technology projects.
Dividends
During fiscal
2014
, we paid quarterly dividends totaling
$1.21
per share, an increase of
18 percent
from fiscal

On August 6, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.3425 per share, or $1.37 per share on an annualized basis, payable on October 15, 2014 to shareholders of record on October 1, 2014.
Share Repurchases
During fiscal
2014
, we repurchased
$673 million
of our common shares. We funded the repurchases with cash on hand. At
June 30, 2014
, we had
$727 million
remaining under our current repurchase authorization which expires December 31, 2016. On August 6, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $1.0 billion under this share repurchase program.
Interest Rate and Currency Risk Management
We use interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts and commodity contracts to manage our exposure to cash flow variability. We also use interest rate swaps to protect the value of our debt and foreign currency forward contracts to protect the

A purchase obligation is defined as an agreement to purchase goods or services that is legally enforceable and specifies all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and approximate timing of the transaction. The purchase obligation amounts disclosed above represent estimates of the minimum for which we are obligated and the time period in which cash outflows will occur. Purchase orders and authorizations to purchase that involve no firm commitment from either party are excluded from the above table. In addition, contracts that can be unilaterally canceled with no termination fee or with proper notice are excluded from our total purchase obligations except for the amount of the termination fee or the minimum amount of goods that must be purchased during the requisite notice period. Purchase obligations and other payments also includes

Recent Financial Accounting Standards
See Note 1 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for a discussion of recent financial accounting standards.
Critical Accounting Policies and Sensitive Accounting Estimates
Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that (i) can have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations and (ii) require use of complex and subjective estimates based upon past experience and management’s judgment. Other people applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances could develop different estimates. Because estimates are inherently uncertain, actual results may differ. In this section, we describe the significant policies applied in preparing our consolidated financial statements that management believes are the most dependent on estimates and assumptions. For additional accounting policies, see Note 1 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade receivables are primarily comprised of amounts owed to us through our distribution businesses and are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$137 million
and
$134 million
at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. We also provide financing to various customers. Such financing arrangements range from
270 days
to
5 years
, at interest rates that are generally subject to fluctuation. Interest income on these arrangements is recognized as it is earned. The financings may be collateralized, guaranteed by third parties or unsecured. Finance notes and related accrued interest are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$18 million
and
$17 million
at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively, and are included in other assets (current portion is included in prepaid expenses and other) in the consolidated balance sheets. We must use judgment when deciding whether to extend credit and when estimating the required allowance for doubtful accounts.
The allowance for doubtful accounts includes portfolio and specific reserves. We determine the appropriate allowance by reviewing accounts receivable aging, industry trends, customer financial strength and credit standing, historical write-off trends and payment history. We also regularly evaluate how changes in economic conditions may affect credit risks.
Our methodology for estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts is assessed annually based on historical losses and economic, business and market trends. In addition, the allowance is reviewed quarterly and updated if appropriate. We may adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts if changes in customers’ financial condition or general economic conditions make defaults more frequent or severe.

A hypothetical 0.1 percent increase or decrease in the reserve as a percentage of trade receivables and finance notes receivables at
June 30, 2014
, would result in an increase or decrease in bad debt expense of
$6 million
.
We believe the reserve maintained and expenses recorded in fiscal
2014
are appropriate. At this time, we are not aware of any analytical findings or customer issues that might lead to a significant future increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of revenue.
Inventories
A substantial portion of our inventories (
61 percent
and
65 percent
at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively) are valued at the lower of cost, using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method, or market. These are primarily merchandise inventories at the core pharmaceutical distribution facilities within our Pharmaceutical segment. The LIFO impact on the consolidated statements of earnings in a given year depends on pharmaceutical price appreciation and the level of inventory. Prices for branded pharmaceuticals generally tend to rise, which results in an increase in cost of products sold, whereas prices for generic pharmaceuticals generally tend to decline, which results in a decrease in cost of products sold.
The LIFO method presumes that the most recent inventory purchases are the first items sold, so LIFO helps us better match current costs and revenue. Using LIFO, if there is a decrease in inventory levels that have experienced pharmaceutical price appreciation, the result generally will be a decrease in future cost of products sold as our older inventory is held at a lower cost. Conversely, if there is a decrease in inventory levels that have experienced a pharmaceutical price decline, the result generally will be an increase in future cost of products sold as our older inventory is held at a higher cost. We believe that the average cost method of inventory valuation reasonably approximates the current cost of replacing inventory within the core pharmaceutical distribution facilities. Accordingly, the LIFO reserve is the difference between (a) inventory at the lower of LIFO cost or market and (b) inventory at replacement cost determined using the average cost method of inventory valuation.
The remaining inventory is stated at the lo
wer of cost, using the first in, first out method, or market. If we had used the average
cost method of inventory valuation for all inventory within the Pharmaceutical distribution facilities, the value of our inventories would not have changed in fiscal
2014
or
2013
. Primarily because prices for our generic pharmaceutical inventories have declined over time, inventories valued at LIFO were
$98 million
and
$97 million
higher than the average cost value at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. We do not record inventories in excess of replacement cost. As such, we did not record any changes in our LIFO reserve in fiscal
2014
and
2013
.
Inventories presented in the consolidated balance sheets are net of reserves for excess and obsolete inventory which were
$44 million
and
$40 million
at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. We reserve for inventory obsolescence using estimates based on historical experience, sales trends, specific categories of inventory and age of on-hand inventory. If actual conditions are less favorable than our assumptions, additional inventory reserves may be required.
Business Combinations
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including identifiable intangible assets, are based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. We base the fair values of identifiable intangible assets on detailed valuations that require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions. Critical estimates and assumptions include: expected future cash flows for customer relationships, trademarks, trade names, developed technology and other identifiable intangible assets; discount rates that reflect the risk factors associated with future cash flows; and estimates of useful lives. When an acquisition involves contingent consideration, we recognize a liability equal to the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation at the acquisition date. The estimate of fair value of a contingent consideration obligation requires subjective assumptions to be made regarding future business results, discount rates and probabilities assigned to various potential business result scenarios. Subsequent revisions to these assumptions could materially change the estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration obligations and therefore could materially affect our financial position or results of operations. See Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding our acquisitions.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Purchased goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually or when indicators of impairment exist. Intangible assets with finite lives, primarily customer relationships, trademarks and patents, and non-compete agreements, are amortized over their useful lives.

Financial Review (continued)
|

Goodwill impairment testing involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of reporting units to the respective carrying amount, which may be performed utilizing either a qualitative or quantitative assessment. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (also known as a component). If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying amount, then no impairment exists. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value, then a second step is performed to determine the amount of impairment, if any. An impairment charge is the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the estimated implied fair value of goodwill. We estimate the implied fair value of goodwill as the excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit over the estimated fair value of its net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. This is the same manner we use to recognize goodwill from a business combination. Goodwill impairment testing involves judgment, including the identification of reporting units, the estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit and, if necessary, the estimation of the implied fair value of goodwill.
We have two operating segments, which are the same as our reportable segments: Pharmaceutical and Medical. These operating segments are comprised of divisions (components), for which discrete financial information is available. Components are aggregated into reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing to the extent that they share similar economic characteristics. Our reporting units are: Pharmaceutical operating segment (excluding our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division and Cardinal Health China - Pharmaceutical division); Nuclear Pharmacy Services division; Cardinal Health China - Pharmaceutical division; Medical operating segment (excluding our Home division); and Home division.
Fair value can be determined using market, income or cost-based approaches. Our determination of estimated fair value of the reporting units is based on a combination of the income-based and market-based approaches. Under the income-based approach, we use a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several future periods, plus a terminal value at the end of that time horizon, are discounted to their present value using an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return. We use our internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and include an estimate of long-term growth rates based on our most recent views of the long-term outlook for each reporting unit. Actual results may differ materially from those used in our forecasts. We use discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective reporting units and in our internally-developed forecasts. Discount rates used in our reporting unit valuations ranged from
9
to
12 percent
. Under the market-based approach, we determine fair value by comparing our reporting units to similar businesses or guideline companies whose securities are actively traded in public markets. To further confirm fair value, we compare the aggregate fair value of our reporting units to our total market capitalization. Estimating the fair value of
reporting units requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. The use of alternate estimates and assumptions or changes in the industry or peer groups could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit and potentially result in goodwill impairment.
We performed annual impairment testing in fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
and, with the exception of our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division in fiscal
2013
, concluded that there were no impairments of goodwill as the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. For our fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
testing, we elected to bypass the optional qualitative assessment. With the exception of our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division in fiscal
2013
, if we were to alter our impairment testing by increasing the discount rate in the discounted cash flow analysis by 1 percent, there still would not be any impairment indicated for any of these reporting units for fiscal
2014
,
2013
or
2012
. As discussed further in Note 5 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”, during the fourth quarter of fiscal
2013
we recognized an
$829 million
(
$799 million
, net of tax) non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division, which is included in impairments and loss on disposal of assets in our consolidated statements of earnings.
We review intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Determining whether an impairment loss occurred requires a comparison of the carrying amount to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
Vendor Reserves
In the ordinary course of business, our vendors may dispute deductions taken against payments otherwise due to them or assert other billing disputes. These disputed transactions are researched and resolved based upon our policy and findings of the research performed. At any given time, there are outstanding items in various stages of research and resolution. In determining appropriate reserves for areas of exposure with our vendors, we assess historical experience and current outstanding claims. We have established various levels of reserves based on the type of claim and status of review. Though the transaction types are relatively consistent, we periodically refine our methodology by updating the reserve estimate percentages to reflect actual historical experience. Changes to the estimate percentages affect the cost of products sold in the period in which the change was made.
Vendor reserves were
$82 million
and
$66 million
at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. Approximately 68 percent of the vendor reserve at the end of fiscal
2014
pertained to the Pharmaceutical segment compared to 60 percent at the end of fiscal
2013
. The reserve balance will fluctuate due to variations
21
|
Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries
|
||
|
Financial Review (continued)
|
||
of outstanding claims from period-to-period, timing of settlements, and specific vendor issues, such as bankruptcies.
The ultimate outcome of specific claims may be different than our original estimate and may require adjustment. We believe, however, that reserves recorded for such disputes are adequate based upon current facts and circumstances.
Loss Contingencies
We accrue for contingencies related to disputes, litigation and regulatory matters if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because these matters are inherently unpredictable and unfavorable developments or resolutions can occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. We regularly review contingencies to determine whether our accruals and related disclosures are adequate. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates. See Note 9 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding loss contingencies.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our income tax expense, deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid on items in the consolidated financial statements.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities, as well as net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for tax purposes. The following table presents information about our tax position at June 30:

This valuation allowance primarily relates to federal, state and international loss carryforwards for which the ultimate realization of future benefits is uncertain.
|
Expiring loss and credit carryforwards and the required valuation allowances are adjusted annually. After applying the valuation allowances, we do not anticipate any limitations on our use of any of the other net deferred income tax assets described above.
We believe that our estimates for the valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and unrecognized tax benefits are appropriate based on current facts and circumstances. However, others applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances could develop different estimates. The amount we ultimately pay when matters are resolved may differ from the amounts accrued.
Tax benefits from uncertain tax positions are recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination of the technical merits of the position, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than
50 percent
likely of being realized upon settlement. See Note 8 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding unrecognized tax benefits.
If any of our assumptions or estimates were to change, an increase or decrease in our effective income tax rate by 1 percent would have caused income tax expense to increase or decrease
$18 million
for fiscal
2014
.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation to employees is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The fair value of restricted share units and performance share units is determined by the grant date market price of our common shares. The compensation expense associated with nonvested performance share units is dependent on our periodic assessment of the probability of the targets being achieved and our estimate, which may vary over time, of the number of shares that ultimately will be issued. The fair value of stock options is determined using a lattice valuation model. We believe the lattice model provides reasonable estimates because it has the ability to take into account employee exercise patterns based on changes in our stock price and other variables and it provides for a range of input assumptions.
We analyze historical data to estimate option exercise behaviors and employee terminations to be used within the lattice model. The expected life of the options granted is calculated from the option valuation model and represents the length of time in years that the options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatility from traded options on our common shares and historical volatility over a period of time commensurate with the contractual term of the option grant (up to ten years). As required, the forfeiture estimates are adjusted to reflect actual forfeitures when an award vests. The actual forfeitures in future reporting periods could be higher or lower than our current estimates. See Note 16 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information regarding share-based compensation.
Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to cash flow and earnings fluctuations as a result of certain market risks. These market risks primarily relate to foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity price-related changes. We maintain a hedging program to manage volatility related to these market exposures which employs operational, economic and derivative financial instruments in order to mitigate risk. See Notes 1 and 12 of the “Notes to Consolidated
22
|

Financial Statements” for further discussion regarding our use of derivative instruments.
Foreign Exchange Rate Sensitivity
By nature of our global operations, we are exposed to cash flow and earnings fluctuations resulting from foreign exchange rate variation. These exposures are transactional and translational in nature. Principal drivers of this foreign exchange exposure include the Canadian dollar, Thai baht, Mexican peso, Chinese renminbi, European euro, Japanese yen, Singapore dollar, and Malaysian ringgit.
Transactional Exposure
Transactional exposure arises from the purchase and sale of goods and services in currencies other than our functional currency or the functional currency of our subsidiaries. As part of our risk management program, at the end of each fiscal year we perform a sensitivity analysis on our forecasted transactional exposure for the upcoming fiscal year. These analyses include the estimated impact of our hedging program, which mitigates transactional exposure. At
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, we had hedged approximately 48 and 45 percent of transactional exposures, respectively. The following table summarizes the analysis as it relates to transactional exposure and the impact of a hypothetical 10 percent increase or decrease at June 30:

June 30, 2014
and

Interest Rate Sensitivity
We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investing activities to maintain liquidity and fund operations. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt can be expected to fluctuate as a result of business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Our policy is to manage exposures to interest rates using a mix of fixed and floating rate debt as deemed appropriate by
management. We utilize interest rate swap instruments to mitigate our exposure to interest rate movements.
As part of our risk management program, we perform an annual sensitivity analysis on our forecasted exposure to interest rates for the following fiscal year. This analysis assumes a hypothetical 10 percent change in interest rates. At
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, the potential increase or decrease in annual interest expense under this analysis as a result of this hypothetical change was $4 million and $2 million, respectively.
During fiscal
2014
, we purchased marketable securities, which are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value is subject to change primarily as a result of changes in market interest rates and investment risk related to the issuers' credit worthiness. At
June 30, 2014
, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates would cause a potential decrease of up to $1 million in the estimated fair value.
Commodity Price Sensitivity
We are exposed to market price changes for commodities, including oil-based resins, cotton, latex, and diesel fuel. We typically purchase raw materials at market prices and some finished goods at prices based in part on a commodity price index. As part of our risk management program, we perform sensitivity analysis on our forecasted commodity exposure for the following fiscal year. Our forecasted commodity exposure at
June 30, 2014
decreased from the prior year primarily as a result of commodity prices and changes in purchasing volumes.
At
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, we had hedged a portion of these commodity exposures (see Note 12 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for further discussion). The table below summarizes our analysis of these forecasted commodity exposures and a hypothetical 10 percent fluctuation in commodity prices at June 30:

We believe our total gross range of exposure to commodities, including the items listed in the table above, is $400 million to $500 million at
June 30, 2014
.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cardinal Health, Inc. and subsidiaries as of
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
June 30, 2014
. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Cardinal Health, Inc. and subsidiaries at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
June 30, 2014
, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Cardinal Health, Inc. and subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as of
June 30, 2014
, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) and our report dated
August 13, 2014
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

1. Basis of Presentation, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other
Cardinal Health, Inc. is a healthcare services company providing pharmaceutical and medical products and services that help pharmacies, hospitals and other healthcare providers focus on patient care while reducing costs, enhancing efficiency and improving quality. Cardinal Health, Inc. also provides medical products to patients in the home. References to “we”, “our” and similar pronouns in these consolidated financial statements are to Cardinal Health, Inc. and its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires.
Our fiscal year ends on June 30. References to fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
in these consolidated financial statements are to the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2014
,
2013
and
2012
, respectively.
Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany transactions and amounts have been eliminated. To conform to the current year presentation, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified. The results of businesses acquired or disposed of are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition or up to the date of disposal, respectively.
Use of Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates, judgments and assumptions are used in the accounting and disclosure related to, among other items, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, business combinations, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment, vendor reserves, loss contingencies, income taxes and share-based compensation. Actual amounts could ultimately differ from these estimated amounts.
Joint Venture With CVS Caremark
In
July 2014
, we established Red Oak Sourcing, LLC ("Red Oak Sourcing"), a U.S.-based generic pharmaceutical sourcing entity with CVS Caremark Corporation (“CVS”) with an initial term of
10 years
. Both companies have contributed sourcing and supply chain expertise to the 50/50 joint venture and have committed to source generic pharmaceuticals through arrangements negotiated by it. Red Oak Sourcing will negotiate generic pharmaceutical supply contracts on behalf of both companies, but will not own products or hold inventory on behalf of either company. We are required to pay
39
quarterly payments of
$25.6 million
to CVS commencing in
October 2014
and, only if certain milestones are achieved, to pay additional predetermined amounts to CVS beginning in fiscal 2016. The
fixed payments of
$25.6 million
will be expensed evenly commencing with the ramp-up of the venture, which we expect to begin by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2015. No physical assets were contributed by either company to Red Oak Sourcing, and minimal funding has been provided to capitalize the entity.
Cash Equivalents
We consider liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Receivables
Trade receivables are primarily comprised of amounts owed to us through our distribution businesses and are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$137 million
and
$134 million
at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. An account is considered past due on the first day after its due date. In accordance with contract terms, we generally have the ability to charge customers service fees or higher prices if an account is considered past due. We continuously monitor past due accounts and establish appropriate reserves to cover potential losses, which are based primarily on historical collection rates and the credit worthiness of the customer. We write off any amounts deemed uncollectible against the established allowance for doubtful accounts.
We provide financing to various customers. Such financing arrangements range from
270 days
to
5 years
, at interest rates that are generally subject to fluctuation. Interest income on these arrangements is recognized as it is earned. The financings may be collateralized, guaranteed by third parties or unsecured. Finance notes and related accrued interest were
$158 million
(current portion
$51 million
) and
$161 million
(current portion
$29 million
) at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively, and are included in other assets (current portion is included in prepaid expenses and other) in the consolidated balance sheets. Finance notes receivable are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$18 million
and
$17 million
at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. We estimate an allowance for these financing receivables based on historical collection rates and the credit worthiness of the customer. We write off any amounts deemed uncollectible against the established allowance for doubtful accounts.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We maintain cash depository accounts with major banks, and we invest in high quality, short-term liquid instruments and in marketable securities. Our short-term liquid instruments mature within three months and we have not historically incurred any related losses. Investments in marketable securities consist of a portfolio of high-grade instruments. Such investments are made only in instruments issued by highly-rated institutions, whose financial condition we monitor.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Our trade receivables and finance notes and related accrued interest are exposed to a concentration of credit risk with customers in the retail and healthcare sectors. Credit risk can be affected by changes in reimbursement and other economic pressures impacting the healthcare industry. Such credit risk is limited due to supporting collateral and the diversity of the customer base, including its wide geographic dispersion. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial conditions and maintain reserves for credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within our expectations.
Major Customers
The following table summarizes all of our customers that individually account for at least 10 percent of revenue and their corresponding percent of gross trade receivables. The customers in the table below are primarily serviced through our Pharmaceutical segment.

Our pharmaceutical distribution contract with Walgreen Co. ("Walgreens") expired on
August 31, 2013
.
We have entered into agreements with group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”) which act as purchasing agents that negotiate vendor contracts on behalf of their members. Novation, LLC and Premier Purchasing Partners, L.P. are our two largest GPO member relationships in terms of revenue. Sales to members of these two GPOs collectively accounted for
17 percent
,
13 percent
and
13 percent
of revenue for fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
, respectively. Our trade receivable balances are with individual members of the GPO, and therefore no significant concentration of credit risk exists with these types of arrangements.
Inventories
A substantial portion of our inventories (
61 percent
and
65 percent
at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively) are valued at the lower of cost, using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method, or market. These inventories are included within the core pharmaceutical distribution facilities of our Pharmaceutical segment (“distribution facilities”) and are primarily merchandise inventories. The LIFO method presumes that the most recent inventory purchases are the first items sold, so LIFO helps us better match current costs and revenue. We believe that the average cost method of inventory valuation provides a reasonable approximation of the current cost of replacing inventory within these distribution facilities. As such, the LIFO reserve is the difference between (a) inventory at the lower of LIFO cost or market and (b) inventory at replacement cost determined using the average cost method of inventory valuation.
If we had used the average cost method of inventory valuation for all inventory within the distribution facilities, the value of our inventories would not have changed in fiscal
2014
or
2013
. Inventories valued at LIFO were
$98 million
and
$97 million
higher than the average cost value at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. We do not record inventories in excess of replacement cost. As such, we did not record any changes in our LIFO reserve in fiscal
2014
and
2013
. Our remaining inventory is primarily stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out method, or market.
Inventories presented in the consolidated balance sheets are net of reserves for excess and obsolete inventory which were
$44 million
and
$40 million
at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. We reserve for inventory obsolescence using estimates based on historical experience, sales trends, specific categories of inventory and age of on-hand inventory.
Cash Discounts
Manufacturer cash discounts are recorded as a component of inventory cost and recognized as a reduction of cost of products sold when the related inventory is sold.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying amounts.
During fiscal
2013
, as a result of the reductions in the anticipated future cash flows in our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division as discussed in Note 5, we also performed recoverability testing for the long-lived assets of this division, which consist primarily of leasehold improvements, machinery and equipment. Based on the assessment performed, we determined that the carrying amounts of the long-lived assets are recoverable.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, including capital lease assets which are depreciated over the terms of their respective leases. We generally use the following range of useful lives for our property and equipment categories: buildings and improvements—
3
to
39 years
; machinery and equipment—
3
to
20 years
; and furniture and fixtures—
3
to
7 years
. We recorded depreciation expense of
$265 million
,
$269 million
and
$243 million
, for fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
, respectively.

Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. Interest on long-term projects is capitalized using a rate that approximates the weighted-average interest rate on long-term obligations, which was
3.68 percent
at
June 30, 2014
. The amount of capitalized interest was immaterial for all periods presented.
Business Combinations
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including identifiable intangible assets, are based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. We base the fair values of identifiable intangible assets on detailed valuations that require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions. Critical estimates and assumptions include: expected future cash flows for customer relationships, trade names and other identifiable intangible assets; discount rates that reflect the risk factors associated with future cash flows; and estimates of useful lives. When an acquisition involves contingent consideration, we recognize a liability equal to the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation at the acquisition date. The estimate of fair value of a contingent consideration obligation requires subjective assumptions to be made regarding future business results, discount rates and probabilities assigned to various potential business result scenarios. Subsequent revisions to these assumptions could materially change the estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration obligations and therefore could materially affect our financial position or results of operations. See Note 2 for additional information regarding our acquisitions.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Purchased goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually or when indicators of impairment exist. Intangible assets with finite lives, primarily customer relationships; trademarks, trade names and patents; and non-compete agreements, are amortized over their useful lives.
Goodwill impairment testing involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of reporting units to the respective carrying amount, which may be performed utilizing either a qualitative or quantitative assessment. A reporting unit is defined as an
operating segment or one level below an operating segment (also known as a component). If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying amount, then no impairment exists. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value, then a second step is performed to determine the amount of impairment, if any. An impairment charge is the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the estimated implied fair value of goodwill. We estimate the implied fair value of goodwill as the excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit over the estimated fair value of its net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. This is the same manner we use to recognize goodwill from a business combination. Goodwill impairment testing involves judgment, including the identification of reporting units, the estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit and, if necessary, the estimation of the implied fair value of goodwill.
We have
two
operating segments, which are the same as our reportable segments: Pharmaceutical and Medical. These operating segments are comprised of divisions (components), for which discrete financial information is available. Components are aggregated into reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing to the extent that they share similar economic characteristics. Our reporting units are: Pharmaceutical operating segment (excluding our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division and Cardinal Health China - Pharmaceutical division); Nuclear Pharmacy Services division; Cardinal Health China - Pharmaceutical division; Medical operating segment (excluding our Cardinal Health at Home division ("Home division")); and Home division.
Fair value can be determined using market, income or cost-based approaches. Our determination of estimated fair value of the reporting units is based on a combination of the income-based and market-based approaches. Under the income-based approach, we use a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several future periods, plus a terminal value at the end of that time horizon, are discounted to their present value using an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return. We use our internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and include an estimate of long-term growth rates based on our most recent views of the long-term outlook for each reporting unit. Actual results may differ materially from those used in our forecasts. We use discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective reporting units and in our internally-developed forecasts. Discount rates used in our reporting unit valuations ranged from
9
to
12 percent
. Under the market-based approach, we determine fair value by comparing our reporting units to similar businesses or guideline companies whose securities are actively traded in public markets. To further confirm fair value, we compare the aggregate fair value of our reporting units to our total market capitalization. Estimating the fair value of reporting units requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. The use of alternate estimates and
33
|
Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries
|
||
|
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
|
||
assumptions or changes in the industry or peer groups could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit and potentially result in goodwill impairment.
We performed annual impairment testing in fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
and, with the exception of our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division in fiscal
2013
, concluded that there were no impairments of goodwill as the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. For our fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
testing, we elected to bypass the optional qualitative assessment. As discussed further in Note 5, during the fourth quarter of fiscal
2013
we recognized an
$829 million
(
$799 million
, net of tax) goodwill impairment charge related to our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division, which is included in impairments and loss on disposal of assets in our consolidated statements of earnings.
We review intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Determining whether an impairment loss occurred requires a comparison of the carrying amount to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
Investments
Investments in non-marketable equity securities are accounted for under either the cost or equity method of accounting and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. For investments in which we can exercise significant influence, we use the equity method of accounting and our share of the earnings and losses, which was immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, for all periods presented, is recorded in other income, net in the consolidated statements of the earnings. We monitor investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as the operating performance of the investment and current economic and market conditions.
During fiscal
2014
, we sold our minority equity interests in two investments for proceeds of
$47 million
, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of
$32 million
(
$20 million
, net of tax) included in other income, net in the consolidated statements of earnings.
Also during fiscal
2014
, we purchased marketable securities, which are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of applicable taxes, are included within shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). We monitor these securities for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as the duration that, and the extent to which, the fair value is below cost, the operating performance and credit worthiness of the issuer of the securities and current economic and market conditions. See Note 6 for additional information regarding available-for-sale securities.
We previously held
$72 million
of investments in fixed income corporate debt securities, which were classified as held-to-maturity and matured during fiscal
2013
.
Vendor Reserves
In the ordinary course of business, our vendors may dispute deductions taken against payments otherwise due to them or assert other billing disputes. These disputed transactions are researched and resolved based upon our policy and findings of the research performed. At any given time, there are outstanding items in various stages of research and resolution. In determining appropriate reserves for areas of exposure with our vendors, we assess historical experience and current outstanding claims. We have established various levels of reserves based on the type of claim and status of review. Though the claim types are relatively consistent, we periodically refine our methodology by updating the reserve estimate percentages to reflect actual historical experience. The ultimate outcome of certain claims may be different than our original estimate and may require an adjustment. All adjustments to vendor reserves are included in cost of products sold. In addition, the reserve balance will fluctuate due to variations of outstanding claims from period-to-period, timing of settlements and specific vendor issues, such as bankruptcies. Vendor reserves were
$82 million
and
$66 million
at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively, excluding third-party returns. See separate section in Note 1 for a description of third-party returns.
Vendor Incentives
Fees for services and other incentives received from vendors relating to the purchase or distribution of inventory represent product discounts and are recorded as a reduction of cost of products sold in the consolidated statements of earnings upon sale of the related inventory.
Loss Contingencies
We accrue for contingencies related to disputes, litigation and regulatory matters if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because these matters are inherently unpredictable and unfavorable developments or resolutions can occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. We regularly review contingencies to determine whether our accruals and related disclosures are adequate. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates. See Note 9 for additional information regarding loss contingencies.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between the tax bases and financial reporting bases of our assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in the respective jurisdictions
34
|
Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries
|
||
|
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
|
||
in which we operate. Deferred taxes are not provided on the unremitted earnings of subsidiaries outside of the United States when it is expected that these earnings are permanently reinvested.
Tax benefits from uncertain tax positions are recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination of the technical merits of the position, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than
50 percent
likely of being realized upon settlement. See Note 8 for additional information regarding income taxes.
Other Accrued Liabilities
Other accrued liabilities represent various current obligations, including certain accrued operating expenses and taxes payable.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation to employees is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The fair value of stock options is determined on the grant date using a lattice valuation model. The fair value of restricted share units and performance share units is determined by the grant date market price of our common shares. The compensation expense associated with nonvested performance share units is dependent on our periodic assessment of the probability of the targets being achieved and our estimate, which may vary over time, of the number of shares that ultimately will be issued. The compensation expense recognized for share-based awards is net of estimated forfeitures and is recognized ratably over the service period of the awards. We classify share-based compensation expense in distribution, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses to correspond with the same line item as the majority of the cash compensation paid to employees. If awards are modified in connection with a restructuring activity, the incremental share-based compensation expense is classified in restructuring and employee severance. See Note 16 for additional information regarding share-based compensation.
Dividends
We paid cash dividends per common share of
$1.21
,
$1.025
and
$0.86
in fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Pharmaceutical Segment
The Pharmaceutical segment recognizes distribution revenue when title transfers to its customers and we have no further obligation to provide services related to such merchandise.
Revenue for deliveries that are directly shipped to customer warehouses from the manufacturer when we act as an intermediary in the ordering and delivery of products is recorded gross. This is in accordance with accounting standards addressing reporting revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent. This revenue is recorded on a gross basis since we incur credit risk from the customer, bear the risk of loss for incomplete shipments and do not receive a separate fee or commission for the transaction and, as such, are the primary obligor. Revenue from these sales is recognized when title transfers to the customer and we have no further obligation to provide services related to such merchandise.
Radiopharmaceutical revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product to the customer and we have no further obligation to provide services related to such merchandise.
Medical Segment
The Medical segment recognizes revenue when title transfers to its customers and we have no further obligation to provide services related to such merchandise.
Sales Returns and Allowances
Revenue is recorded net of sales returns and allowances. Our customer return policies generally require that the product be physically returned, subject to restocking fees, in a condition suitable to be added back to inventory and resold at full value, or returned to vendors for credit (“merchantable product”). Product returns are generally consistent throughout the year and typically are not specific to any particular product or customer.
Effective
June 30, 2013
, we updated our policy to accrue for estimated sales returns and allowances at the time of sale based upon historical customer return trends, margin rates and processing costs. This prospective change did not have a material effect on consolidated revenue, cost of products sold or operating earnings. At
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, the accrual for estimated sales returns and allowances was
$273 million
and
$291 million
, respectively, the impact of which is reflected in trade receivables, net and inventories, net in the consolidated balance sheets. Prior to this change in policy, we recognized sales returns as a reduction of revenue and cost of products sold for the sales price and cost, respectively, when products were returned. Amounts recorded in revenue and cost of products sold under our prior accounting policy closely approximated what would have been recorded had we accrued for estimated sales returns and allowances at the time of the sale transaction. As such, retrospective adoption of our new policy to accrue for estimated sales returns and allowances would not have materially changed our results of operations and financial position in fiscal
2012
. Sales returns and allowances were
$1.7 billion
,
$2.3 billion
and
$1.9 billion
, for fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
, respectively.

Third-Party Returns
Since we generally do not accept non-merchantable product returns from our customers, many of our customers return non-merchantable pharmaceutical products to our vendors through third parties. Since our customers generally do not have a direct relationship with our vendors, our vendors pass the value of the returns to us (usually in the form of an accounts payable deduction). We in turn pass the value received, less an administrative fee, to our customer. In certain instances, we pass the estimated value of the return to our customer prior to processing the deduction with our vendors. Although we believe we have satisfactory protections, we could be subject to claims from customers or vendors if our administration of this overall process was deficient in some respect or our contractual terms with vendors are in conflict with our contractual terms with our customers. We have maintained reserves for some of these situations based on their nature and our historical experience with their resolution.
Distribution Service Agreement and Other Vendor Fees
Our Pharmaceutical segment recognizes fees received from its distribution service agreements and other fees received from vendors related to the purchase or distribution of the vendors’ inventory when those fees have been earned and we are entitled to payment. Since the benefit provided to a vendor is related to the purchase and distribution of the vendor’s inventory, we recognize the fees as a reduction in the carrying value of the inventory that generated the fees, and as such, a reduction of cost of products sold in our consolidated statements of earnings when the inventory is sold.
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling costs are primarily included in SG&A expenses in our consolidated statements of earnings. Shipping and handling costs include all delivery expenses as well as all costs to prepare the product for shipment to the end customer. Shipping and handling costs were
$430 million
,
$419 million
and
$389 million
, for fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
, respectively. Revenue received for shipping and handling was immaterial for all periods presented.
Restructuring and Employee Severance
We consider restructuring activities to be programs by which we fundamentally change our operations, such as closing and consolidating facilities, moving manufacturing of a product to another location, production or business process sourcing, employee severance (including rationalizing headcount or other significant changes in personnel) and realigning operations (including realignment of the management structure of a business unit in response to changing market conditions). See Note 3 for additional information regarding our restructuring activities.
Amortization and Other Acquisition-Related Costs
We classify costs incurred in connection with acquisitions as amortization and other acquisition-related costs in our consolidated statements of earnings. These costs consist primarily of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, transaction costs, integration costs and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations. Transaction costs are incurred during the initial evaluation of a potential acquisition and primarily relate to costs to analyze, negotiate and consummate the transaction as well as due diligence activities. Integration costs relate to activities required to combine the operations of an acquired enterprise into our operations. We record changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations relating to acquisitions as income or expense in amortization and other acquisition-related costs. See Note 5 for additional information regarding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.
In fiscal 2011, we completed the acquisition of privately-held Healthcare Solutions Holding, LLC ("P4 Healthcare") for cash and certain contingent consideration. In connection with this acquisition, the former owners of P4 Healthcare had the right to receive certain contingent payments based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. As a result of changes in our estimate of performance in future periods, coupled with the progress of discussions with the former owners regarding an early termination and settlement, we recorded a
$71 million
decrease in fair value of the obligation during fiscal
2012
; and settled and terminated the remaining contingent consideration obligation for
$4 million
in fiscal
2013
.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
Financial statements of our subsidiaries outside the United States are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Adjustments to translate the assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars are accumulated in shareholders’ equity through AOCI utilizing period-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses of these foreign subsidiaries are translated using average exchange rates during the year.
The foreign currency translation gains/(losses) included in AOCI at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
are presented in Note 13. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses for the period are included in the consolidated statements of earnings in other income, net, and were immaterial for all periods presented.
Interest Rate, Currency and Commodity Risk
All derivative instruments are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and all changes in fair value are recognized in net earnings or shareholders’ equity through AOCI, net of tax.
For contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment, our policy requires that the hedge contracts must be effective at
36
|
Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries
|
||
|
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
|
||
reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and must be designated as a hedge at the inception of the contract. Hedge effectiveness is assessed periodically. Any contract not designated as a hedge, or so designated but ineffective, is adjusted to fair value and recognized immediately in net earnings. If a fair value or cash flow hedge ceases to qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the contract continues to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value until settled and future adjustments to the contract’s fair value are recognized immediately in net earnings. If a forecasted transaction is no longer considered probable of occurring, amounts previously deferred in AOCI are recognized immediately in net earnings. See Note 12 for additional information regarding our derivative instruments, including the accounting treatment for instruments designated as fair value, cash flow and economic hedges.
Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period (the denominator). Diluted EPS is similar to the computation for basic EPS, except that the denominator is increased by the dilutive effect of vested and nonvested stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units and performance share units, computed using the treasury stock method. The total number of common shares issued, less the common shares held in treasury, is used to determine the common shares outstanding. See Note 14 for additional information regarding EPS.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability on the measurement date. It focuses on the exit price in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair values are:
|
Level 1 -
|
Observable prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
|
|
Level 2 -
|
Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
|
|
Level 3 -
|
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.
|
See Note 11 for additional information regarding fair value measurements.
Recent Financial Accounting Standards
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance on accounting for share-based
payments with performance targets. This guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This guidance is based on the principle that revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This amendment will be effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. We are currently evaluating the options for adoption and the impact on our financial position and results of operations.
In April 2014, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance related to the reporting of discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance changes the thresholds for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures. This amendment will be effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this guidance on a prospective basis, and we do not expect the adoption to impact our financial position or results of operations.
In July 2013, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance related to the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, unless certain conditions exists. This guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to impact our financial position or results of operations.
In March 2013, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance related to a parent company's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or group of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. The amended guidance requires the release of any cumulative translation adjustment into net income only upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of a controlling interest in a subsidiary or a group of assets within a foreign entity. Also, it requires the release of all or a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment to net income in the case of sale of an equity method investment that is a

foreign entity. This amendment will be effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to impact our financial position or results of operations.
In February 2013, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance related to reclassifications out of AOCI. An entity is required to present, either parenthetically on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, the significant amounts, by component, reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income and to report changes in its AOCI balances by component. We adopted this amended guidance on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal
2014
and have elected to report reclassifications out of AOCI in Note 13. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations.
In January 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance to limit the scope of the balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions to the extent they are offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar arrangement. We adopted this amended guidance on a retrospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal
2014
. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations. See Note 11 for additional information regarding fair value measurements of our derivative instruments.
In July 2012, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance related to testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. Under this guidance, a company is no longer required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the company determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its estimated fair value is less than its carrying amount. We adopted this amended guidance in the first quarter of fiscal
2014
. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations.
2. Acquisitions
We have completed several acquisitions since July 1, 2011, including the acquisitions within our Medical segment described below. The pro forma results of operations and the results of operations for acquisitions since the acquisition dates have not been separately disclosed because the effects were not significant compared to the consolidated financial statements, individually or in the aggregate.
AccessClosure
On
May 9, 2014
, we completed the acquisition of Access Closure, Inc. ("AccessClosure") for
$320 million
in an all-cash transaction. We funded the acquisition with cash on hand. The acquisition of AccessClosure, a manufacturer and distributor of extravascular closure devices, expands the Medical segment's portfolio of self-manufactured products.
AssuraMed
On
March 18, 2013
, we completed the acquisition of AssuraMed, Inc. ("AssuraMed") for
$2.07 billion
, net of cash acquired, in an all-cash transaction. We funded the acquisition through the issuance of
$1.3 billion
in fixed rate notes, as discussed in Note 7, and cash on hand. The acquisition of AssuraMed, a provider of medical supplies to homecare providers and patients in the home, expands the Medical segment's ability to serve this patient base. AssuraMed is now known as our Home division. We recognized
$20 million
of transaction costs associated with the purchase of AssuraMed during fiscal
2013
, which are included in amortization and other acquisition-related costs in the consolidated statements of earnings.
Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
The estimation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for AccessClosure resulted in goodwill of
$159 million
and identifiable intangible assets, primarily developed technology, of
$133 million
with a weighted-average useful life of
9 years
. The assessment of fair value for AccessClosure is preliminary and is based on information that was available at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared.
The estimation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for AssuraMed was completed during fiscal
2014
. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date for AssuraMed:

Our fair value estimates utilize significant unobservable inputs and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements. The estimated fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was determined primarily using an income-based approach, which includes market participant expectations of the cash flows that an asset could generate over its remaining useful life, discounted back to present value using an appropriate rate of return. The useful lives were determined primarily using inputs such as projected customer retention rates, expected trade name utilization periods, and projected technology obsolescence rates. For AccessClosure and AssuraMed, the discount rates used to arrive at the present value of identifiable intangible assets were
10
and
9.5 percent
, respectively, to reflect the internal rate of return and uncertainty in the cash flow projections.

Includes
$30 million
of employee-related costs and
$10 million
of facility exit and other costs related to the restructuring within our Medical segment described further below.
|
On
January 30, 2013
, we announced a restructuring plan within our Medical segment. Under this restructuring plan, among other things, we have reorganized our Medical segment, moved production of procedure kits from our facility in Waukegan, Illinois to other facilities, and consolidated office space in Waukegan, Illinois. In addition, we are selling property in Waukegan, Illinois and are exiting our gamma sterilization business in El Paso, Texas.
We currently estimate the total costs associated with this restructuring plan to be approximately
$74 million
on a pre-tax basis, of which
$18 million
was recognized in fiscal
2014
, including the loss to write down the property in Waukegan, Illinois as discussed in Note 4. Costs of
$51 million
associated with this restructuring plan were recognized in fiscal
2013
, including the loss to write down our gamma sterilization assets as discussed in Note 4. The estimated
$5 million
remaining costs to be recognized in fiscal 2015 consist of facility exit and other costs.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal
2013
, we recognized
$11 million
of employee-related costs related to a restructuring plan within our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division.

4. Impairments and Loss on Disposal of Assets
In connection with our Medical segment restructuring plan discussed in Note 3, the property in Waukegan, Illinois meets the criteria for classification as held for sale. As a result, during fiscal
2014
, we recognized an
$8 million
loss to write down this property to the estimated fair value, less costs to sell, of
$24 million
, which is included in prepaid expenses and other in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value was estimated using inputs such as broker listings and sales agreements and thus represents a Level 2 nonrecurring fair value measurement.
Also in connection with our Medical segment restructuring plan, during fiscal
2013
we recognized an
$11 million
loss to write down our gamma sterilization assets in El Paso, Texas.
During fiscal
2013
, we recognized an
$829 million
(
$799 million
, net of tax) goodwill impairment charge related to our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division, as discussed further in Note 5. We also recognized an
$8 million
loss during fiscal
2013
to write down commercial software under development within our Pharmaceutical segment in connection with our decision to discontinue this project.
During fiscal
2012
, we recognized a
$16 million
loss to write down an indefinite-life intangible asset related to the P4 Healthcare trade name, an asset within our Pharmaceutical segment. We rebranded P4 Healthcare under the Cardinal Health Specialty Solutions name.

.

Fiscal 2014
The increase in the Medical segment goodwill during fiscal
2014
is primarily due to the AccessClosure acquisition. Goodwill recognized in connection with this acquisition primarily represents the expected benefits from synergies of integrating this business, the existing workforce of the acquired entity, and expected growth from new customers, new products, and improvements to existing technologies. See Note 2 for further discussion of this acquisition.
Fiscal 2013
The increase in the Medical segment goodwill during fiscal
2013
is primarily due to the AssuraMed acquisition. Goodwill recognized in connection with this acquisition primarily represents the expected benefits from synergies of integrating this business, the existing workforce of the acquired entity, expected growth from new customers and long-term brand value. See Note 2 for further discussion of this acquisition.
The decrease in the Pharmaceutical segment goodwill during fiscal
2013
is primarily due to an
$829 million
(
$799 million
, net of tax) non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division, which is included in impairments and loss on disposal of assets in our consolidated statements of earnings. This impairment charge did not impact our liquidity, cash flows from operations, or compliance with debt covenants.
As a result of significant softness in the low-energy diagnostics market, we performed interim goodwill impairment testing for our Nuclear Pharmacy Services division during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and determined that there was no impairment, as the fair value of the reporting unit was estimated to be in excess of its carrying amount. During the second half of fiscal
2013
, we experienced sustained volume declines and
price erosion for the core, low-energy products provided by this division. In addition, we experienced reduced sales for some existing high-energy diagnostic products, slower-than-expected adoption of new high-energy diagnostic products, and reimbursement developments that could have adversely impacted the future growth of these products. Using this information, we adjusted our outlook and long-term business plans for this division during our annual budgeting process. This update resulted in significant reductions in the anticipated future cash flows and estimated fair value for this reporting unit.
We completed our annual goodwill impairment test for fiscal
2013
, which we perform annually in the fourth quarter, in conjunction with the preparation of our fiscal
2013
consolidated financial statements. Using a combination of the income-based approach (using a discount rate of
10 percent
) and the market-based approach, the fair value of this reporting unit was estimated to be below the carrying amount and therefore indicated impairment. The second step of the impairment test resulted in the impairment of the entire
$829 million
carrying amount of goodwill for this reporting unit. Our fair value estimates utilize significant unobservable inputs and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements.

Other Financing Arrangements
In addition to cash and equivalents, at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, our sources of liquidity include a
$1.5 billion
revolving credit facility and a commercial paper program of up to
$1.5 billion
, backed by the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility exists largely to support issuances of commercial paper as well as other short-term borrowings for general corporate purposes.
On
November 6, 2012
, we renewed our
$950 million
committed receivables sales facility program through Cardinal Health Funding, LLC ("CHF") until
November 6, 2014
. On
October 15, 2013
, we reduced our committed receivables sales facility program from
$950 million
to
$700 million
in light of the Walgreens contract expiration. CHF was organized for the sole purpose of buying receivables and selling undivided interests in those receivables to third-party purchasers. Although consolidated in accordance with GAAP, CHF is a separate legal entity from Cardinal Health and from our subsidiary that sells the receivables to CHF. CHF is designed to be a special purpose, bankruptcy-remote entity whose assets are available solely to satisfy the claims of its creditors.
We had
no
outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, except for standby letters of credit of zero and
$43 million
at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. We had
no
outstanding borrowings from the commercial paper program at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
. We had
no
outstanding balance under the committed receivables sales facility program at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, except for standby letters of credit of
$41 million
and zero at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. Our revolving credit facility and committed receivables sales facility program require us to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio, as of any fiscal quarter end, of
at least 4-to-1
and a consolidated leverage ratio of
no more than 3.25-to-1
. As of
June 30, 2014
, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.
We also maintain other short-term credit facilities and an unsecured line of credit that allowed for borrowings up to
$369 million
and
$304 million
at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. The
$319 million
and
$190 million
balance of other obligations at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively, consisted of short-term borrowings and capital leases.

The fiscal
2014
effective tax rate was impacted by net favorable discrete items of
$37 million
, which reduced the rate by
2.1
percentage points. The discrete items include the favorable impact of the settlement of federal and state tax controversies (
$80 million
) and release of valuation allowances (
$12 million
) and the unfavorable impact of remeasurement of unrecognized tax benefits (
$65 million
), primarily as a result of proposed assessments of additional tax.
The fiscal
2013
effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by
33.2
percentage points (
$295 million
) due to the nondeductibility of substantially all of the goodwill impairment which was partially offset by the favorable impact of the revaluation of our deferred tax liability and related interest on unrepatriated foreign earnings as a result of an agreement with tax authorities (
$64 million
or
7.2
percentage points). During the fourth quarter of fiscal
2013
, we recorded an out-of-period increase in income tax expense of
$14 million
(of which generally less than $1 million pertained to each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2013 and each of the quarters in fiscal 2012 through 2008), which related to uncertain tax benefits, and a decrease in retained earnings of
$15 million
, which related to the adoption of accounting guidance for uncertain tax benefits in 2008. The amounts were not material individually or in the aggregate to current or prior periods.
At
June 30, 2014
, we had
$1.7 billion
of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries that are intended to be permanently reinvested in non-U.S. operations. Because these earnings are considered permanently reinvested, no U.S. tax provision has been accrued related to the repatriation of these earnings. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of U.S. tax that might be payable on the eventual remittance of such earnings.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for tax purposes.

At
June 30, 2014
, we had gross federal, state and international loss and credit carryforwards of
$210 million
,
$1.3 billion
and
$85 million
, respectively, the tax effect of which is an aggregate deferred tax asset of
$191 million
. Substantially all of these carryforwards are available for at least three years. Approximately
$92 million
of the valuation allowance at
June 30, 2014
applies to certain federal, state and international loss carryforwards that, in our opinion, are more likely than not to expire unutilized. However, to the extent that tax benefits related
to these carryforwards are realized in the future, the reduction in the valuation allowance would reduce income tax expense.
We had
$510 million
,
$650 million
and
$654 million
of unrecognized tax benefits at
June 30, 2014
,
2013
and
2012
, respectively. The
June 30, 2014
,
2013
and
2012
balances include
$322 million
,
$371 million
and
$337 million
, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would have an impact on the effective tax rate. The remaining unrecognized tax benefits relate to tax positions for which ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty as to the timing of such deductibility. Recognition of these tax benefits would not affect our effective tax rate. We include the full amount of unrecognized tax benefits in deferred income taxes and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits:

It is reasonably possible that there could be a change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months due to activities of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or other taxing authorities, including proposed assessments of additional tax, possible settlement of audit issues, reassessment of existing unrecognized tax benefits or the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. We estimate that the range of the possible change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months is a decrease of approximately
$25 million
to an increase of approximately
$10 million
, exclusive of penalties and interest.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. At
June 30, 2014
,
2013
and
2012
we had
$143 million
,
$198 million
and
$209 million
, respectively, accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. These balances are gross amounts before any tax benefits and are included in deferred income taxes and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. During fiscal
2014
and
2012
, we recognized
$46 million
and
$28 million
of benefit for interest and penalties in income tax expense, respectively. During fiscal
2013
, we recognized
$24 million
of interest and penalties in income tax expense.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and various foreign jurisdictions. We are subject to audit by the IRS for fiscal years 2006 through the
current fiscal year. We are generally subject to audit by taxing authorities in various U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years 2003 through the current fiscal year.
During fiscal
2014
, the IRS closed audits of fiscal years 2003 through 2005. The IRS is currently conducting audits of fiscal years 2006 through 2010, and our transfer pricing arrangements continue to be under consideration as part of these audits. While the IRS has made and could make proposed adjustments to our transfer pricing arrangements, or other matters, we are defending our reported tax positions, and have accounted for the unrecognized tax benefits associated with our tax positions.
We are a party to a tax matters agreement with CareFusion Corporation ("CareFusion"), under which CareFusion is obligated to indemnify us for certain tax exposures and transaction taxes prior to our fiscal 2010 spin-off of CareFusion. The indemnification receivable was
$210 million
and
$186 million
at
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, respectively, and is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
9. Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Litigation
Commitments
The future minimum rental payments for operating leases having initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year at
June 30, 2014
for fiscal
2015
through
2019
and thereafter are as follows:
$97 million
,
$80 million
,
$60 million
,
$45 million
,
$31 million
and
$74 million
. Rental expense

Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries

|
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
|

relating to operating leases was
$107 million
,
$92 million
and
$86 million
in fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
, respectively. Sublease rental income was immaterial for all periods presented.
Legal Proceedings
We become involved from time to time in disputes, litigation and regulatory matters incidental to our business, including governmental investigations and enforcement actions, personal injury claims, employment matters, commercial disputes, intellectual property matters, government contract compliance matters, disputes regarding environmental clean-up costs, claims in connection with acquisitions and divestitures, and other matters arising out of the normal conduct of our business. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in such matters.
We may be named from time to time in
qui tam
actions, which are cases initiated by private parties purporting to act on behalf of federal or state governments that allege that false claims have been submitted or have been caused to be submitted for payment by the government. After a private party has filed a
qui tam
action, the government must investigate the private party's claim and determine whether to intervene in the matter. These actions may remain under seal while the government makes this determination.
In addition, we occasionally may suspect that products we manufacture, market or distribute do not meet product specifications, published standards or regulatory requirements. In such circumstances, we investigate and take appropriate corrective action. Such actions can lead to product recalls, costs to repair or replace affected products, temporary interruptions in product sales and action by regulators.
We accrue for contingencies related to disputes, litigation and regulatory matters if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because these matters are inherently unpredictable and unfavorable developments or resolutions can occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. We regularly review contingencies to determine whether our accruals and related disclosures are adequate. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates.
We are unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss for matters described below, since damages or fines have not been specified or the proceedings are at stages where significant uncertainty exists as to legal or factual issues and as to whether such matters will proceed to trial. We do not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcomes of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, though the outcome of one or more of these matters could be material to our results of operations for a particular period.
We recognize income from the favorable outcome of litigation when we receive the associated cash or assets.
We recognize estimated loss contingencies for litigation and regulatory matters and income from favorable resolution of litigation in litigation (recoveries)/charges, net in our consolidated statements of earnings.
Lakeland, Florida Distribution Center DEA Investigation and Related Matters
In February 2012, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (the "DEA") issued an order to show cause and immediate suspension of our Lakeland, Florida distribution center's registration to distribute controlled substances, asserting that we failed to maintain required controls against the diversion of controlled substances. In May 2012, we entered into a settlement agreement with the DEA that resolved the administrative aspects of the DEA's action, but did not foreclose the possibility of the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) seeking civil fines for conduct covered by the settlement agreement. In that regard, we are continuing to provide information to and engage in discussions, including preliminary discussions regarding the feasibility of a settlement, with the DEA and the DOJ.
State of West Virginia vs. Cardinal Health, Inc.
In June 2012, the West Virginia Attorney General filed, and in January 2014 amended, complaints against
13
pharmaceutical wholesale distributors, including us, in the Circuit Court of Boone County, West Virginia alleging, among other things, that the distributors failed to maintain effective controls to guard against diversion of controlled substances in West Virginia, failed to report suspicious orders of controlled substances in accordance with the West Virginia Uniform Controlled Substances Act and were negligent in distributing controlled substances to pharmacies that serve individuals who abuse controlled substances. In addition to injunctive and other equitable relief, the complaints seek monetary damages and the creation of a court-supervised fund, to be financed by the defendants in these actions, for a medical monitoring program focused on prescription drug abuse.
Federal False Claims Investigation
The DOJ has requested information in connection with an investigation of possible violations of the federal False Claims Act
with
respect to our Medical segment’s administration of a prime vendor agreement with the federal government. We are cooperating with the DOJ in this matter.
Antitrust Litigation Proceeds
We recognized income resulting from settlements of class action antitrust claims in which we were a class member of
$24 million
and
$38 million
during fiscal
2014
and
2013
, respectively.
10. Guarantees
In the ordinary course of business, we agree to indemnify certain other parties under acquisition and disposition agreements, customer agreements, intellectual property licensing agreements, and other agreements. Such indemnification
45
|
Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries
|
||
|
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
|
||
obligations vary in scope and, when defined, in duration. In many cases, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated, and therefore the overall maximum amount of the liability under such indemnification obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Where appropriate, such indemnification obligations are recorded as a liability. Historically, we have not, individually or in the aggregate, made payments under these indemnification obligations in any material amounts. In certain circumstances, we believe that existing insurance arrangements, subject to the general deduction and exclusion provisions, would cover portions of the liability that may arise from these indemnification obligations. In addition, we believe that the likelihood of a material liability being triggered under these indemnification obligations is not significant.
From time to time we enter into agreements that obligate us to make fixed payments upon the occurrence of certain events. Such obligations primarily relate to obligations arising under acquisition transactions, where we have agreed to make payments based upon the achievement of certain financial performance measures by the acquired business. Generally, the obligation is capped at an explicit amount.

Cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less. The carrying value of these cash equivalents approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities.
|
|
(2)
|
The fair value of interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts and commodity contracts is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows considering the risks involved, including non-performance risk, and using discount rates appropriate for the respective maturities. Observable level 2 inputs are used to determine the present value of expected future cash flows. The fair value of these derivative contracts, which are subject to master netting arrangements under certain circumstances, is presented on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheets.
|
|
(3)
|
During fiscal
2014
, we purchased marketable securities, which are class
ified as available-
for-sale and are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Observable level 2 inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities, interest rate spreads, yield curves and credit
|
risk are used to determine the fair value. See Note 6 for additional information regarding available-for-sale securities.
|
(4)
|
The other investments balance includes investments in mutual funds, which are used to offset fluctuations in defer
red compensation liabilities. These mutual funds primarily invest in the equity securities of companies with large market capitalization
and high quality fixed income debt securities. The fair value of these investments is determined using quoted market prices.
|
12. Financial Instruments
We utilize derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to certain risks related to our ongoing operations. The primary risks managed through the use of derivative instruments include interest rate risk, currency exchange risk and commodity price risk. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. While the majority of our derivative instruments are designated as hedging instruments, we also enter into derivative instruments that are designed to hedge a risk, but are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative instruments are adjusted to current fair value through earnings at the end of each period.
We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative instruments. Accordingly, we have established and maintain strict counterparty credit guidelines and enter into derivative instruments only with major financial institutions that are investment grade or better. We do not have significant exposure to any one counterparty and we believe the risk of loss is remote. Additionally, we do not require collateral under these agreements.
Interest Rate Risk Management
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. Our objective is to manage the impact of interest rate changes on cash flows and the market value of our borrowings. We utilize a mix of debt maturities along with both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage changes in interest rates. In addition, we enter into interest rate swaps to further manage our exposure to interest rate variations related to our borrowings and to lower our overall borrowing costs.
Currency Exchange Risk Management
We conduct business in several major international currencies and are subject to risks associated with changing foreign exchange rates. Our objective is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with foreign exchange rate changes to allow management to focus its attention on business operations. Accordingly, we enter into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to protect the value of existing foreign currency assets and liabilities, commitments and anticipated foreign currency revenue and expenses.
Commodity Price Risk Management
We are exposed to changes in the price of certain commodities. Our objective is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with forecasted purchases of these commodities to allow management to focus its attention on business operations.

Fair Value Hedges
We enter into pay-floating interest rate swaps to hedge the changes in the fair value of fixed-rate debt resulting from fluctuations in interest rates. These contracts are designated and qualify as fair value hedges. Accordingly, the gain or loss recorded on the pay-floating interest rate swaps is directly offset by the change in fair value of the underlying debt. Both the derivative instrument and the underlying debt are adjusted to market value at the end of each period with any resulting gain or loss recorded in interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of earnings.
During fiscal
2014
and
2013
, we entered into pay-floating interest rate swaps with total notional amounts of
$300 million
and
$775 million
, respectively. These swaps have been designated as fair value hedges of our fixed rate debt.
During fiscal
2013
, we terminated notional amounts of
$350 million
of pay-floating interest rate swaps and received net settlement proceeds of
$43 million
. These swaps were previously designated as fair value hedges. There was no immediate impact to earnings; however, the fair value adjustment to debt is being amortized over the life of the underlying debt as a reduction to interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of earnings.
The following tables summarize the outstanding interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges at June 30:

There was no ineffectiveness associated with these derivative instruments.
Cash Flow Hedges
We enter into derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to interest rate, foreign currency and commodity price fluctuations associated with certain forecasted transactions. These derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in earnings immediately.
We enter into forward interest rate swaps to manage variability of expected future cash flows from changing interest rates. During fiscal
2014
and
2013
, we entered into forward interest rate swaps with total notional amounts of
$50 million
and
$250 million
, respectively, to hedge probable, but not firmly committed, future transactions associated with our debt.
We enter into foreign currency contracts to protect the value of anticipated foreign currency revenues and expenses. At
June 30, 2014
and
2013
, we held contracts to hedge probable, but not firmly committed, revenue and expenses. The principal currencies hedged are the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, European euro and Thai baht.
We enter into commodity contracts to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of certain commodities used in our Medical segment.

Economic (Non-Designated) Hedges
We enter into foreign currency contracts to manage our foreign exchange exposure related to intercompany financing transactions and other balance sheet items subject to revaluation that do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, these derivative instruments are adjusted to current market value at the end of each period through earnings. The gain or loss recorded on these instruments is substantially offset by the remeasurement adjustment on the foreign currency denominated asset or
liability. The settlement of the derivative instrument and the remeasurement adjustment on the foreign currency denominated asset or liability are both recorded in other (income)/expense, net at the end of each period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, trade receivables, net, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities at
June 30, 2014
and
June 30, 2013
approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
Cash balances are invested in accordance with our investment policy. These investments are exposed to market risk from interest rate fluctuations and credit risk from the underlying issuers, although this is mitigated through diversification.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our long-term obligations and other short-term borrowings compared to the respective carrying amounts at June 30:

15. Segment Information
Our operations are principally managed on a products and services basis and are comprised of
two
operating segments, which are the same as our reportable segments: Pharmaceutical and Medical. The factors for determining the reportable segments include the manner in which management

Corporate revenue consists of the elimination of inter-segment revenue and other revenue not allocated to the segments.
|
We evaluate segment performance based upon segment profit, among other measures. Segment profit is segment revenue, less segment cost of products sold, less segment SG&A expenses. Segment SG&A expenses include share-based compensation expense as well as allocated corporate expenses for shared functions, including corporate management, corporate finance, financial and customer care shared services, human resources, information technology and legal. Corporate expenses are allocated to the segments based upon headcount, level of benefit provided and other ratable allocation methodologies.
Other income, net
, interest expense, net and provision for income taxes are not allocated to the segments.
Restructuring and employee severance, amortization and other acquisition-related costs, impairments and loss on disposal of
assets and litigation (recoveries)/charges, net are not allocated to the segments. In addition, certain investment and other spending are not allocated to the segments. Investment spending generally includes the first-year spend for certain projects that require incremental investments in the form of additional operating expenses. We encourage our segments and corporate functions to identify investment projects that will promote innovation and provide future returns. As approval decisions for such projects are dependent upon executive management, the expenses for such projects are often retained at Corporate. Investment spending within Corporate was
$33 million
,
$37 million
and
$21 million
for fiscal
2014
,
2013
and
2012
, respectively.

16. Share-Based Compensation and Savings Plans
Share-Based Compensation Plans
We maintain stock incentive plans (collectively, the “Plans”) for the benefit of certain of our officers, directors and employees. At
June 30, 2014
,
26 million
shares remain available for future issuances under the Cardinal Health, Inc. 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2011 LTIP”). Under the 2011 LTIP's fungible share counting provisions, stock options are counted against the plan as
one share for every share issued
; awards other than stock options are counted against the plan as
two and one-half shares for every share issued
. This means that only
10 million
shares could be issued under awards other than stock options while
26 million
shares could be issued under stock options. Shares are issued out of treasury shares when stock options are exercised and when restricted share units and performance share units vest.
The following table provides total share-based compensation expense by type of award:

Stock Options
Employee stock options granted under the Plans generally vest in equal annual installments over
three years
and are exercisable for periods ranging from
seven
to
ten years
from the grant date. All stock options are exercisable at a price equal to the market value of the common shares underlying the option on the grant date.

Stock options are granted to our officers and certain employees. The fair values were estimated on the grant date using a lattice valuation model. We believe the lattice model provides reasonable estimates because it has the ability to take into account individual exercise patterns based on changes in our stock price and other variables, and it provides for a range of input assumptions, which are disclosed in the table below. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of the grant. We analyzed historical data to estimate option exercise behaviors and employee terminations to be used within the lattice model. The expected life of the options granted was calculated from the option valuation model and represents the
51
|

|

|

||
length of time in years that the options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatility from traded options on our common shares and historical volatility over a period of time commensurate with the contractual term of the option grant (up to
ten years
). The following table provides the range of assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options:

Item 9: Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A: Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of
June 30, 2014
. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
June 30, 2014
to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also controls deemed effective now may become inadequate in the future because of changes in conditions, or because compliance with the policies or procedures has deteriorated or been circumvented.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
June 30, 2014
. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) (the “COSO criteria”). Based on management’s assessment and the COSO criteria, management believes that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
June 30, 2014
.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued a report on our internal control over financial reporting. Ernst & Young LLP’s report appears following Item 9A and expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
June 30, 2014
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Cardinal Health, Inc.
We have audited Cardinal Health, Inc. and subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as of
June 30, 2014
, based on criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) (the COSO criteria). Cardinal Health, Inc. and subsidiaries' management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying “Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Cardinal Health, Inc.
and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
June 30, 2014
, based on
the COSO criteria
.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Cardinal Health, Inc. and subsidiaries
as of
June 30, 2014
and
2013
and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
June 30, 2014
of Cardinal Health, Inc. and subsidiaries and our report dated
August 13, 2014
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Prior to this change in policy, we recognized sales returns as a reduction of revenue and cost of products sold for the sales price and cost, respectively, when products were returned.
