Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
Cencora posted Q2 revenue of $78.4 billion, up 4%, with adjusted diluted EPS of $4.75 reflecting 7.5% growth. Revenue growth slowed on multiple fronts, but core U.S. operating income growth remained within the long-range plan.

GLP-1 sales increased $1.9 billion year-over-year.
