Summary
McKesson Corporation (MCK) filed an 8-K on July 27, 2016, to report preliminary results for its first quarter ended June 30, 2016. The filing itself primarily serves as a notification and attachment of a press release containing these financial results, rather than detailing the results directly within the 8-K document. Investors should refer to the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) for specific financial performance metrics and operational updates for the period. This report is furnished and not deemed 'filed' for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, meaning it has a different legal implication regarding liability for misstatements.
