Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 26, 2012, AmerisourceBergen Corporation (the “Registrant”) issued a news release announcing its earnings for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011 and announcing its corresponding earnings conference call.

In the news release issued on January 26, 2012, the Registrant reaffirmed its expectations for fiscal year 2012 diluted earnings per share in the range of $2.74 to $2.84. Key assumptions supporting the 2012 diluted earnings per share range are: flat to modest revenue growth; operating margin growth in the high single-digit to low-double digit basis points range; and free cash flow in the range of $700 million to $800 million, which includes capital expenditures in the $150 million range. Subject to market conditions, the Registrant expects to repurchase approximately $400 million of its common shares in fiscal year 2012.
