Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Cardinal Health, Inc. (the “Company”) is providing an update to its previously announced expectations for non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (“non-GAAP EPS”) for fiscal year 2025. The Company now expects fiscal year 2025 non-GAAP EPS to be toward the high end of its previously provided range of $7.75 to $7.90, primarily driven by continued strength within the Pharmaceutical and Specialty Solutions segment.

The Company will present at the JP Morgan 43rd Annual Healthcare Conference today, January 14, 2025, at 12:00 P.M. Eastern Time. The presentation will include comments related to this update, among other things. The Company also expects to provide further details on its expectations for fiscal year 2025 results on its second quarter earnings call on January 30, 2025.

Cautions Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K 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 the risk that we may fail to achieve our strategic objectives, including the continued execution of the GMPD Improvement Plan, whether as a result of Cardinal Health Brand sales, ongoing inflationary pressures or the impact of possible tariffs on products we source or manufacture; competitive pressures in Cardinal Health's various lines of business, including the risk that customers may reduce purchases made under their contracts with us or terminate or not renew their contracts; our ability to manage uncertainties associated with the pricing of branded pharmaceuticals, including as a result of possible legislative action; risks associated with litigation matters, including an Department of Justice investigation focused on potential violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute and False Claims Act; the risk that events outside of our control, such as weather or geopolitical events, may impact demand for our products or may cause supply shortages that impact our cost and ability to fulfill customer demand; the performance of our generics program, including 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 or other components of our generics programs; the possibility that our At-Home unit goodwill could become impaired due to changes to our long-term financial plan, increases in global interest rates or unfavorable changes in the U.S. statutory tax rate. Cardinal Health is subject to additional risks and uncertainties described in Cardinal Health's Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8K reports and exhibits to those reports. This release reflects management’s views as of January 14, 2025. Except to the extent required by applicable law, Cardinal Health undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements are aspirational and not guarantees or promises that goals, targets or projections will be met, and no assurance can be given that any commitment, expectation, initiative or plan in this report can or will be achieved or completed.
