Walgreens Boots Alliance Reports Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Results
These charges are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses and Impairment of goodwill within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. The Company excludes these charges when evaluating operating performance because it does not incur such charges on a predictable basis and exclusion of such charges enables more consistent evaluation of the Company's operating performance. Impairment of goodwill, intangibles, and long-lived assets recognized in the nine months ended May 31, 2025 resulted from the interim goodwill impairment assessments for the VillageMD, U.S. Retail Pharmacy, and CareCentrix reporting units, as well as the intangible asset impairment for the Boots reporting unit and impairment of certain multi-year internal software development projects within the U.S. Retail Pharmacy segment. Impairment of goodwill, intangibles, and long-lived assets recognized in the nine months ended May 31, 2024 resulted from the interim goodwill impairment assessment for the VillageMD reporting unit and impairment of certain multi-year internal software development projects within the U.S. Retail Pharmacy segment.
2
Acquisition-related amortization includes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and stock-based compensation fair valuation adjustments. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets includes amortization of intangible assets such as customer relationships, provider networks, trade names, trademarks, developed technology and contract intangibles. Intangible asset amortization excluded from the related non-GAAP measure represents the entire amount recorded within the Company's GAAP financial statements. The revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP measures. Amortization expense, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired, or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. These charges are primarily recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. The stock-based compensation fair valuation adjustment reflects the difference between the fair value based remeasurement of awards under purchase accounting and the grant date fair valuation. Post-acquisition compensation expense recognized in excess of the original grant date fair value of acquiree awards are excluded from the related non-GAAP measures as these arise from acquisition-related accounting requirements or agreements, and are not reflective of normal operating activities.
3
Certain legal and regulatory accruals and settlements relate to significant charges associated with certain legal proceedings, including legal defense costs. The Company excludes these charges when evaluating operating performance because it does not incur such charges on a predictable basis and exclusion of such charges enables more consistent evaluation of the Company's operating performance. These charges are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
4
Footprint Optimization charges are costs associated with a formal restructuring plan. These charges are primarily recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. These costs do not reflect current operating performance and are impacted by the timing of restructuring activity.
5
Acquisition and disposition-related costs are transaction and integration costs associated with certain merger, acquisition and divestitures related activities recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Examples of such costs include deal costs, severance, stock-based compensation, employee transaction success bonuses, and other integration related exit and disposal charges. These costs are significantly impacted by the timing and complexity of the underlying merger, acquisition and divestitures related activities and do not reflect the Company's current operating performance. In the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025, the Company recorded professional services and other transaction-related expenses of $15 million and $50 million, respectively, related to the merger agreement with Blazing Star Parent, LLC. As part of the amendment to the VillageMD Secured Loan executed in the three months ended November 30, 2024, Walgreen Co. and VillageMD agreed to terminate certain intercompany leases resulting in an early termination charge of $107 million incurred by VillageMD within the U.S. Healthcare segment and a corresponding gain recognized within the U.S. Retail Pharmacy segment. The impacts of the intercompany lease termination eliminate in consolidation.
6
Adjustments to equity earnings in Cencora consist of the Company's proportionate share of non-GAAP adjustments reported by Cencora consistent with the Company's non-GAAP measures. Adjustments are recorded to Equity earnings in Cencora within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
7
The Company's U.S. Retail Pharmacy segment inventory is accounted for using the last-in-first-out ('LIFO') method. This adjustment represents the impact on Cost of sales as if the U.S. Retail Pharmacy segment inventory is accounted for using first-in first-out ('FIFO') method. The LIFO provision is affected by changes in inventory quantities, product mix, and manufacturer pricing practices, which may be impacted by market and other external influences. Therefore, the Company cannot control the amounts recognized or timing of these items. These charges are recorded in Cost of sales within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
8
Transformational Cost Management Program charges are costs associated with a formal restructuring plan. These charges are primarily recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. These costs do not reflect current operating performance and are impacted by the timing of restructuring activity.
9
Total non-cash impairment charges for goodwill and long-lived assets that were adjusted from Operating income (loss) were $115 million and $5.8 billion in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025, respectively. Total non-cash impairment charges for goodwill and long-lived assets that were adjusted from Operating income (loss) were $23 million and $13.6 billion in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024, respectively.
10
Includes fair value gains or losses on the VPF derivative contracts and gains on VPF settlements. These charges are recorded in Other income (expense), net, within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. The Company does not believe this volatility related to the non-cash mark-to-market adjustments and associated settlement gains or losses on the underlying derivative instruments reflects the Company's operational performance.
11
Gains on the sale of equity method investments are recorded in Other income (expense), net within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. The Company excludes these charges when evaluating operating performance because these do not relate to the ordinary course of the Company's business.
12
Includes significant gains resulting from the change in classification of equity securities as well as the fair value adjustments recorded on investments in equity securities to Other income (expense), net, in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. In the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025, the Company recorded pre-tax gains of $10 million and $135 million related to the change in classification of its previously held equity method investment in BrightSpring to an investment in equity security held at fair value and subsequent related fair value adjustments.
13
Includes gains or losses related to the sale of businesses. These charges are recorded in Other income (expense), net, within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. The Company excludes these charges when evaluating operating performance because these do not relate to the ordinary course of the Company's business.
14
Includes interest expense on certain multi-year litigation settlements and interest expense on external debt to fund incremental contributions to the Boots Plan required to complete the Trustee's acquisition of a bulk annuity policy (the 'Buy-In') from Legal & General. The payments and related incremental interest expense are not indicative of normal operating performance.
15
Adjustments to income tax provision (benefit) include adjustments to the GAAP basis tax provision (benefit) commensurate with non-GAAP adjustments and certain discrete tax items including U.S. and UK tax law changes and equity method non-cash tax. These charges are recorded in Income tax provision (benefit) within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
16
Adjustments to post-tax earnings (loss) from other equity method investments consist of the proportionate share of certain equity method investees' non-cash items or unusual or infrequent items consistent with the Company's non-GAAP adjustments. These charges are recorded in Post-tax earnings (loss) from other equity method investments within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Although the Company may have shareholder rights and board representation commensurate with its ownership interests in these equity method investees, adjustments relating to equity method investments are not intended to imply that the Company has direct control over their operations and resulting revenue and expenses. Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all revenue and expenses of these equity method investees.
17
In the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Company and VillageMD executed an amendment to the VillageMD Secured Loan that consolidated certain VillageMD obligations to the Company, modified certain interest and fee terms, and provided VillageMD with additional borrowing capacity. These intercompany credit facilities eliminate in consolidation. The Company applies the legal claim approach to the attribution of intercompany transactions to non-controlling interests. The amendment of the VillageMD Secured Loan increased the Company's claim on VillageMD's net assets resulting in a pre-tax non-controlling interest benefit. The amendment and related one-time benefit to the Company are not indicative of normal operating performance.
18
Due to the anti-dilutive effect resulting from periods where the Company reports a net loss, the impact of potentially dilutive securities on the per share amounts has been omitted from the calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding for diluted net loss per common share.
19
Includes impact of potentially dilutive securities from unvested stock-based compensation programs in the calculation of weighted-average common shares, diluted for adjusted diluted net earnings per common share calculation purposes. For the three months ended May 31, 2025, this impact of potentially dilutive securities in the calculation of weighted-average common shares was approximately 4 million shares. Excluding the impact of potentially dilutive securities, weighted-average basic and diluted common shares outstanding were approximately 865 million shares.

The listen-only webcast is available at Investors and participants can access the conference call over the phone by dialing 1 (800) 715-9871 from the United States, or +1 (646) 307-1963 internationally. The conference ID is 6194475. Following the conference call, an on-demand replay of the webcast, as well as the slides shown during the call, will be made available on the Investor Relations page of Forge's website at Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information In addition to Forge's financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), Forge presents Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, non-GAAP financial measures. Forge uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Forge believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding specific financial items that have less bearing on its core operating performance. Forge considers Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to be important measures because they help illustrate underlying trends in its business and historical operating performance on a more consistent basis. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in Forge's industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness as a tool for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for Adjusted EBITDA to net loss attributable to common stockholders, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP and Adjusted EPS to EPS. Investors are encouraged to review Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS and the respective reconciliations and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Forge's business. Forge defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss attributable to Forge Global Holdings, Inc., adjusted to exclude: (i) net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, (ii) provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) share-based compensation expense, (v) interest income, (vi) change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and (vii) other significant gains, losses, and expenses such as impairments, acquisition-related transaction and reorganization costs that Forge believes are not indicative of its ongoing results. Forge defines Adjusted EPS as net loss attributable to Forge Global Holdings, Inc., adjusted to exclude: (i) net change in fair value of warrant liabilities and (ii) the tax effect of the adjustment at Forge's effective tax rate from continuing operations divided by the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective periods.

The tables below reflect period-over-period changes in Forge's key business metrics, along with the percentage change between such periods. Forge believes the following business metrics are useful in evaluating its business: Trades are defined as the total number of orders executed by Forge on behalf of private investors and shareholders. Increasing the number of orders is critical to increasing Forge's revenue and, in turn, to achieving profitability. Volume is defined as the total sales value for all securities traded through the Forge marketplace, which is the aggregate value of the issuer company's equity attributed to both the buyer and seller in a trade and as such a $100 trade of equity between buyer and seller would be captured as $200 volume for Forge. Although Forge typically captures a commission on each side of a trade, Forge may not in certain cases due to factors such as the use of a third-party broker by one of the parties or supply factors that would not allow Forge to attract sellers of shares of certain issuers. Volume is influenced by, among other things, the pricing and quality of Forge's services as well as market conditions that affect private company valuations, such as increases in valuations of comparable companies at IPO. Net Take Rates are defined as Forge's marketplace revenues, less markets-related transaction-based expenses, divided by Volume. These represent the percentage of fees earned by the Forge marketplace on any transactions executed from the commission Forge charged on such transactions less transaction-based expenses, which is a determining factor in Forge's revenue. The Net Take Rate can vary based upon the service or product offering and is also affected by the average order size and transaction frequency. Total Custodial Accounts are defined as Forge clients' custodial accounts that are established on Forge's platform and billable. These relate to Forge's Custodial Administration fees revenue stream and are an important measure of Forge's business as the number of Total Custodial Accounts is an indicator of Forge's future revenues from certain account maintenance, transaction and cash administration fees. Assets Under Custody is the reported value of all client holdings held under Forge's agreements, including cash submitted to Forge by the responsible party. These assets can be held at various financial institutions, issuers and in Forge's vault. As the custodian of the accounts, Forge collects all interest and dividends, handles all fees and transactions and any other considerations for the assets concerned. Fees are earned from the overall maintenance activities of all assets and are not charged on the basis of the dollar value of Assets Under Custody, but Forge believes that Assets Under Custody is a useful metric for assessing the relative size and scope of its business. Custodial Client Cash, previously called Custodial Cash Balance, is a component of Assets Under Custody representing the value of cash held on behalf of clients held under Forge's agreements. These assets are held at various financial institutions. Fees are earned from the administration activities performed with respect to these balances. The amount of Custodial Client Cash is a determining factor in Forge's revenue. Please note that starting in the first quarter of 2025, Forge has added Custodial Client Cash as a key business metric for its custody solution as cash administration fee revenue is highly correlated to this metric. Custodial Client Cash has been provided as a metric in Forge's quarterly supplemental information furnished with the SEC since the third quarter of 2022 and was previously called Custodial Cash Balance. Forge has not adjusted methodology, assumptions, or otherwise changed any aspects of this metric and it is comparable to prior period presentations of Custodial Cash Balance in Forge's quarterly supplemental information. Custodial Client Cash represents the value of cash held on behalf of clients held under Forge's custody solution agreements. Forge believes that disclosing Custodial Client Cash provides investors with valuable insight into custody solution revenue as cash administration fees currently make up the majority of Forge's custodial administration fee revenue. Cash administration fees are based on prevailing interest rates and custodial client cash balances. Forge has included Custodial Client Cash balances for all periods presented to facilitate comparability and trend analysis.
