Photographer: Justin Merriman/BloombergOn a day when Walgreens Boots Alliance reported another $3 billion in losses, the drugstore chain said it will close 1,200 stores over three years in an effort to return to profitability and long-term growth.
In its quarterly earnings report released Tuesday morning, Walgreens said the loss was “primarily driven by a higher operating loss, a $2.3 billion non-cash charge for valuation allowance on deferred tax assets primarily related to opioid liabilities recognized in prior periods, and a non-cash impairment charge related to equity investment in China.”
Walgreens said the 1,200 closures of the 8,500 stores in the U.S. over the next three years include 300 stores “previously approved” under a company “transformational cost management program.” Walgreens said about 500 stores will close in its fiscal 2025, which began Sept. 1 of this year.
“In fiscal 2025, we are focusing on stabilizing the retail pharmacy by optimizing our footprint, controlling operating costs, improving cash flow, and continuing to address reimbursement models to support dispensing margins and preserve patient access for the future,” Wentworth said in a statement accompanying company earnings.
