Cencora has signed a definitive agreement to acquire EyeSouth Partners' retina business for $1.1 billion. The affiliated retina physicians will join Cencora's Retina Consultants of America, a leading management services organisation. The pharmaceutical solutions company expects the acquisition to be slightly accretive to its adjusted diluted earnings per share in the first twelve months following closure, net of financing costs. The transaction requires regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Cencora's reaffirmed fiscal 2026 financial guidance does not currently include the transaction closing within that fiscal year. BofA Securities served as lead financial advisor to Cencora, whilst Jefferies advised EyeSouth Partners, a portfolio company of Olympus Partners.
Cencora has announced that Chief Financial Officer James F. Cleary will retire effective 30 June 2026. The pharmaceutical solutions company has engaged an executive search firm to identify potential successors from internal and external candidates. Cleary, 62, has served as CFO since November 2018 and joined Cencora in February 2015 following its acquisition of MWI Veterinary Supply, where he had been chief executive officer for over a decade. He will serve in an advisory capacity through the end of 2026 to ensure a smooth transition. Cencora reaffirmed its previously issued adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance range of $17.45 to $17.75 for fiscal year 2026. The company, ranked number 10 on the Fortune 500, generates more than $300 billion in annual revenue.
Cencora has priced a $3 billion senior notes offering across various maturities, the company announced on 10 February 2026. No further details about the specific maturities, interest rates or intended use of proceeds were disclosed in the announcement.
Cencora reported 12% adjusted operating income growth and 9% adjusted diluted EPS growth in its fiscal 2026 first quarter, driven by its US healthcare solutions business. The company raised its full-year guidance to reflect year-over-year adjusted operating income growth of 11.5% to 13.5%. CEO Robert Mauch announced the completion of Cencora's acquisition of the majority remaining equity interest in OneOncology. The deal strengthens Cencora's specialty pharmaceutical leadership and MSO (management services organisation) platform. Cencora's strategy focuses on three priorities: strengthening leadership in specialty pharmaceuticals, partnering with market leaders, and enhancing patient access to pharmaceuticals. The company is leveraging technology and advanced analytics to improve customer experience and operational excellence whilst expanding its pharmaceutical-centric MSO footprint.
Cencora beat Wall Street's first-quarter profit estimates on Wednesday, driven by sustained demand for specialty medicines and GLP-1 therapies. The drug distributor reported adjusted earnings of $4.08 per share, exceeding analysts' expectations of $4.04. The company completed its $5 billion acquisition of OneOncology from TPG in December, strengthening its presence in cancer care. It raised its fiscal 2026 adjusted operating income growth forecast to 11.5% to 13.5%, up from 8% to 10% previously. However, quarterly revenue of $85.93 billion fell short of expectations of $86.03 billion, sending shares down 5% in pre-market trading. Sales at its largest unit, US healthcare solutions, rose 5% year-over-year to $76.2 billion, boosted by prescription volumes of weight-loss drugs and specialty medicines.
