The nation’s largest drug distributor dropped one spot on this year’s list after a decline in warehouse sales resulted in a slight revenue dip. McKesson’s profits also slipped last year — down 4.6% to $1.3 billion — but the company hopes to improve its earnings and reach through its purchase of Germany’s Celesio, one of Europe’s top drug wholesalers. The company also recently drew the ire of activist investors upset over CEO John Hammergren’s record-setting $159 million pension benefit. The company leader responded to the complaints by agreeing to cut $45 million from the lump-sum compensation.
