Regulation FD Disclosure (Form 8-K)
ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
Members of Centene Corporation's (the Company's) senior management team will meet with investors the week of February 23, 2026. Consistent with the Company's guidance previously provided on February 6, 2026, the senior management team plans to reaffirm the Company's 2026 full year GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) guidance of greater than $1.98 and its full year adjusted diluted EPS guidance of greater than $3.00.
Non-GAAP Financial Presentation
The Company is providing certain non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 8-K as the Company believes that these figures are helpful in allowing investors to more accurately assess the ongoing nature of the Company's operations and measure the Company's performance more consistently across periods. The Company uses the presented non-GAAP financial measures internally in evaluating the Company's performance and for planning purposes, by allowing management to focus on period-to-period changes in the Company's core business operations, and in determining employee incentive compensation. Therefore, the Company believes that this information is meaningful in addition to the information contained in the GAAP presentation of financial information. The Company strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and cautions investors that the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and divestiture related expenses, as well as other items, allows investors to develop a more meaningful understanding of the Company's core performance over time. Please refer to the press release filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K on February 6, 2026, for a reconciliation of GAAP diluted EPS to adjusted diluted EPS.
