ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

On July 22, 2024, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published the final risk adjustment transfers for the 2023 benefit year, resulting in a final $0.0 billion receivable for Centene. As a result of the publication of the benefit year 2023 reports, the Company is providing information regarding Centene's estimated net risk adjustment payable as of March 31, 2024, as well as summarizing the second quarter and expected full year 2024 financial impact of the 2023 risk adjustment results.

As of March 31, 2024, Centene had recorded a $1.3 billion 2023 risk adjustment payable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, as detailed below ($ in billions):

2023 Benefit Year Risk Adjustment Payable, gross$1.6 Less: Fair value adjustment for adverse development(0.2) Less: Estimated Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) accrual for 2023 benefit year(0.1) 2023 Benefit Year Risk Adjustment Payable, net$1.3

The following table provides information about the financial impact of the 2023 risk adjustment ($ in billions):

Centene's 2023 estimated Risk Adjustment Payable, net on the Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024 $1.3 Less: Final 2023 risk adjustment receivable published by CMS on July 22, 2024 0.0 Difference between Centene's 2023 Benefit Year Risk Adjustment Payable, net as of March 31, 2024 and the final risk adjustment receivable published by CMS on July 22, 2024 1.3 Less: Increase in Minimum Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) payable due to outperformance(0.3) Less: Estimated other offsets primarily resulting from competitor inability to pay into the CMS risk adjustment program for 2023 Benefit Year due to insolvency(0.3) Net outperformance from final 2023 Benefit Year Risk Adjustment recorded in Q2 2024$0.7 1

1 As a result of the outperformance, the minimum MLR payable for the 2024 benefit year will increase by approximately $0.1 billion impacting the second half of 2024, resulting in an estimated $0.6 billion net outperformance for risk adjustment for the full year 2024.

For the second quarter of 2024, the Company expects to report GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.16 and adjusted diluted EPS of $2.42, inclusive of the 2023 Risk Adjustment outperformance described above.

The Company will provide additional detail on its second quarter 2024 earnings call on Friday, July 26, 2024, where it expects to reaffirm the 2024 full year GAAP diluted EPS guidance floor of greater than $5.94 and adjusted diluted EPS guidance floor of greater than $6.80.

The Company is providing certain preliminary financial results for the second quarter of 2024 based on currently available information. Actual results for the second quarter of 2024 may differ from the preliminary estimates provided here.

About Centene Corporation (CNC) Earnings

This page provides Centene Corporation (CNC) earnings call transcripts from SEC 8-K filings along with AI-powered predictions for post-earnings price movements. Our machine learning models analyze historical earnings data, pre-earnings price patterns, volume changes, and volatility to predict 1-day, 5-day, and 20-day returns after each earnings release.

Earnings transcripts are sourced directly from SEC EDGAR filings. Predictions are generated using gradient boosting models trained on CNC's historical earnings reactions. All predicted returns are shown as percentages, and predicted prices are calculated from the closing price at the time of prediction. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
