Walgreens Boots Alliance Reports Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Results (Business Wire)
|
|
Third quarter financial results
Third quarter loss per share1 was $0.20 compared to earnings per share of $0.40 in the year-ago quarter. The decline in earnings per share was primarily driven by prior year after-tax gains related to fair value adjustments on variable prepaid forward derivatives and a partial sale of the Company's equity method investment in Cencora, and higher tax expense in the current quarter.
Adjusted earnings per share (EPS)2 was $0.38 compared to adjusted EPS2 of $0.63 in the year-ago quarter. The decline in adjusted EPS2 was primarily driven by a higher adjusted effective tax rate2, higher incentive accruals, lower U.S. retail sales and lower equity earnings in Cencora, partly offset by cost savings within U.S. Retail Pharmacy.
Third quarter sales increased 7.2 percent year-over-year to $39.0 billion, up 6.9 percent on a constant currency basis.
