Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 28, 2011, AmerisourceBergen Corporation (the “Registrant”) issued a news release
announcing its earnings for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011 and announcing its
corresponding earnings conference call. A copy of the news release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to

In the news release issued on April 28, 2011, the Registrant increased its expectations for fiscal
year 2011 diluted earnings per share to a range of $2.41 to $2.49. Key assumptions supporting the
fiscal year 2011 diluted earnings per share range are: revenue growth of between 2 percent and 4
percent; operating margin expansion in the mid to high single digit basis points range; and free
cash flow in the high end of the range of $625 million to $700 million, which includes capital
expenditures in the $175 million range. The Registrant also announced an increase in its
expectations regarding repurchases of its common stock in fiscal year 2011. The Registrant
announced that, subject to market conditions, it expects to repurchase approximately $598 million
of its common shares in fiscal year 2011.
