Forward-looking statements and GAAP reconciliation Cautions Concerning Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements addressing expectations, prospects, estimates and other matters that are dependent upon future events or developments. These statements may be identified by words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "will," "should," "could," "would," "project," "continue," "likely," and similar expressions, and include statements reflecting future results or guidance, statements of outlook and various accruals and estimates. These matters are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied. These risks and uncertainties include competitive pressures in Cardinal Health's various lines of business; the amount or rate of generic deflation and our ability to offset generic deflation and maintain other financial and strategic benefits through our generic sourcing venture with CVS Health; our ability to manage uncertainties associated with the pricing of branded pharmaceuticals, including decreased branded inflation and possible branded price reductions; risks associated with our ability to stabilize the performance of and reduce costs associated with our Cordis business; risks associated with the acquisition of the Patient Recovery business, including the ability to successfully integrate the acquired businesses and the ability to achieve the expected synergies and accretion in earnings; the risk of non-renewal under our contracts with CVS Health or one or more other key customer or supplier arrangements or changes to the pricing or other terms of or level of purchases under those arrangements; uncertainties due to government health care reform including federal health care reform legislation or administrative action; changes in the distribution patterns or reimbursement rates for health care products and services; risks associated with the distribution of opioids, including the cost and risk of ongoing investigations and lawsuits by governmental and regulatory authorities as well as private plaintiffs, the financial impact of enacted and possible taxes or other assessments on the sale of opioids, and potential reputational or operational harm; and changes in foreign currency rates and the cost of commodities such as oil-based resins, cotton, latex and diesel fuel. Cardinal Health is subject to additional risks and uncertainties described in Cardinal Health's Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K reports and exhibits to those reports.

Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries Forward Looking non-gaap Measures In this document, the Company presents certain forward-looking non-gaapmetrics. The Company does not provide outlook on a GAAPbasis because changes in the items that the Company excludes from GAAPto calculate the comparable non- GAAPmeasure can be dependent on future events that are less capable of being controlled or reliably predicted by management and are not part of the Company s routine operating activities. Additionally, management does not forecast many of the excluded items for internal use and therefore cannot create or rely on outlook done on a GAAP basis. The timing and amount of any of the items excluded from GAAPto calculate non-gaapcould significantly impact the Company s fiscal 2019 GAAPresults. Over the past five years, the excluded items have lowered the Company s EPS from $0.47 to $4.19, which includes a goodwill impairment charge of $4.36 per share related to our Medical segment that we recognized in fiscal 2018. Additionally, the excluded items for the fiscal 2019 year-to-date period have increased the Company's EPS by $0.30, which includes a $508 million gain ($378 million after-tax) related to the navihealth divestiture. 15 2019 Cardinal Health.

Cardinal Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries Definitions Interest and Other, net: other (income)/expense, net plus interest expense, net. Non-GAAP diluted EPS attributable to Cardinal Health, Inc.: non-gaap net earnings attributable to Cardinal Health, Inc. divided by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. Non-GAAPeffective tax rate: (provision for income taxes adjusted for (1) LIFO charges/(credits), (2) state opioid assessmentrelated to prior fiscal years, (3) restructuring and employee severance, (4) amortization and other acquisition-related costs, (5) impairments and (gain)/loss on disposal of assets, (6) litigation (recoveries)/charges, net, (7) loss on extinguishment of debt, and (8) transitional tax benefit, (net) divided by (earnings before income taxes adjusted for the first seven items). Non-GAAP Gross Margin: Gross margin excluding LIFO charges/(credits). Non-GAAP distribution, selling, general and administrative expenses or Non-GAAP SG&A: distribution, selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding state opioid assessment related to prior fiscal years. Non-GAAP net earnings attributable to Cardinal Health, Inc.: net earnings attributable to Cardinal Health, Inc. excluding (1) LIFO charges/(credits), (2) state opioid assessment related to prior fiscal years, (3) restructuring and employee severance, (4) amortization and other acquisition-related costs, (5) impairments and (gain)/loss on disposal of assets, (6) litigation (recoveries)/charges, net, (7) loss on extinguishment of debt, each net of tax, and (8) transitional tax benefit, net. Non-GAAP operating earnings: operating earnings excluding (1) LIFO charges/(credits), (2) state opioid assessment related to prior fiscal years, (3) restructuring and employee severance, (4) amortization and other acquisition-related costs, (5) impairments and (gain)/loss on disposal of assets, and (6) litigation (recoveries)/charges, net. Segment Profit: segment revenue minus (segment cost of products sold and segment distribution, selling, general, and administrative expenses). Segment Profit Margin: segment profit divided by segment revenue. (1) LIFO charges and credits are excluded because the factors that drive last-in first-out ("LIFO") inventory charges or credits, such as pharmaceutical manufacturer price appreciation or deflation and year-end inventory levels (which can be meaningfully influenced by customer buying behavior immediately preceding our fiscal year-end), are largely out of our control and cannot be accurately predicted. The exclusion of LIFO charges and credits from non-gaap metrics facilitates comparison of our current financial results to our historical financial results and to our peer group companies financial results. (2) State opioid assessment related to prior fiscal years is the portion of the NewYork State assessment for prescription opioid medications that were sold or distributed in periods prior to fiscal 2019. This portion was excluded from non-gaap financial measures because it related to sales in prior fiscal years and inclusion would have obscured analysis of the current fiscal year results ofour underlying, ongoing business. Additionally, while the NewYork lawwould have required us to make payments on an ongoing basis, the portion of the assessment related to sales in periods prior to fiscal 2019 was contemplated to be a one-time, nonrecurring item. In December 2018, this assessment was declared unconstitutional. The charges we had previously recorded for the assessment related to periods prior to fiscal 2019 were reversed in the second quarter of our fiscal 2019 and also excluded from non-gaap financial measures. (3) Restructuring and employee severance costs are excluded because they are not part of the ongoing operations of our underlying business. (4) Amortization and other acquisition-related costs, which include transaction costs, integration costs, and changes in the fair value of contingentconsideration obligations, are excluded primarily for consistency with the presentation of the financial results of our peer group companies. Additionally, costs for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets are non-cash amounts, which are variable in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of acquisitions, so their exclusion facilitates comparison ofhistorical, currentand forecasted financial results. We also exclude other acquisition-related costs, which are directly related to an acquisition butdo notmeet the criteria to be recognized on the acquired entity s initial balance sheet as part of the purchase price allocation. These costs are also significantly impacted by the timing, complexity and size of acquisitions. (5) Impairments and gain or loss on disposal of assets are excluded because they do not occur in or reflect the ordinary course of our ongoing business operations and are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount, and in the case of impairments, are non-cash amounts, so their exclusion facilitates comparison of historical, current and forecasted financial results. (6) Litigation recoveries or charges, netare excluded because they often relate to events that may have occurred in prior or multiple periods, do not occur in or reflect the ordinary course of our business and are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount. (7) Loss on extinguishmentofdebtis excluded because itdoes nottypically occur in the normal course ofbusiness and may obscure analysis oftrends and financial performance. Additionally, the amountand frequency ofthis type ofcharge is not consistent and is significantly impacted by the timing and size of debt extinguishment transactions. (8) Transitional tax benefit, net related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Actis excluded because itresults from the one-time impact ofa very significant change in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate and, due to the significantsize ofthe benefit, obscures analysis of trends and financial performance. The transitional tax benefit includes the initial estimate and subsequent adjustments for the re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate and the repatriation tax on undistributed foreign earnings. 16 2019 Cardinal Health.
