About this update from Molina Healthcare Inc

Introduces Full Year 2026 Revenue and Earnings Guidance LONG BEACH, Calif., February 05, 2026 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--Molina Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: MOH) (the "Company") today reported fourth quarter 2025 GAAP loss per diluted share of $3.15 and adjusted loss per diluted share of $2.75. The Company also reported full year 2025 GAAP earnings per diluted share of $8.92 and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $11.03. Financial results are summarized below: Full Year Highlights "We remain confident in our durable and sustaining operating platform," said Joseph Zubretsky, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe that the imbalance between rates and trend marks 2026 as a trough year for Medicaid industry margins. Even at this low point in the cycle, we continue to produce positive pretax margins in Medicaid. We remain optimistic about the future earnings trajectory of the enterprise which includes anticipated rate restoration and future embedded earnings." Premium Revenue Premium revenue was approximately $43.1 billion for the full year 2025, an increase of 11% year over year. The higher premium revenue reflects recent acquisitions, rate increases, and organic growth. Net Income GAAP net income for the full year 2025 was $8.92 per diluted share, a decrease of 56% year over year. Adjusted net income for the full year 2025 was $11.03 per diluted share, a decrease of 51% year over year. The fourth quarter and full year 2025 results were burdened by approximately $2.00 per share of unfavorable retroactive premium adjustments attributable to the Company’s Medicaid business in California and ongoing medical cost pressure in Medicare and Marketplace. Medical Care Ratio (MCR) General and Administrative Expense Ratio The G&A ratio and the adjusted G&A ratio for the full year 2025 were 6.6% and 6.5%, respectively, reflecting continued operating discipline and operating leverage. Balance Sheet Cash and investments at the parent company were approximately $223 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $445 million as of December 31, 2024. Days in claims payable at December 31, 2025, was 47. Cash Flow Operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2025, was an outflow of $535 million, compared to an inflow of $644 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash flow for the period year-over-year was driven mainly by Medicaid risk corridor settlement activity, the timing of tax payments, and lower operating performance in the second half of 2025. 2026 Guidance Premium revenue guidance for the full year is approximately $42 billion, a decline of approximately 2% from the full year 2025. The planned reduction in the Company’s Marketplace segment is expected to be partially offset by growth from the new Florida CMS contract in Medicaid and higher premium in Medicare. The Company expects its full year 2026 GAAP earnings to be at least $3.20 per diluted share and its full year 2026 adjusted earnings to be at least $5.00 per diluted share. The guidance is burdened by $2.50 per diluted share, which includes $1.50 per diluted share due to implementation of the new Florida CMS Medicaid contract and $1.00 per diluted share due to underperformance in the traditional Medicare Advantage Part D product. The Company has determined the MAPD product with approximately $1 billion in annual premium does not align with its strategic shift to focus exclusively on its $5 billion dual eligible business in Medicare. The Company will exit the MAPD product for 2027.

MOLINA HEALTHCARE, INC. CHANGE IN MEDICAL CLAIMS AND BENEFITS PAYABLE (Dollars in millions) The Company’s claims liabilities include additional reserves to account for moderately adverse conditions based on historical experience and other factors including, but not limited to, variations in claims payment patterns, changes in utilization and cost trends, known outbreaks of disease, and large claims. The Company’s reserving methodology is consistently applied across all periods presented. The amounts displayed for "Components of medical care costs related to: Prior year" represent the amounts by which the original estimates of claims and benefits payable at the beginning of the year were more than the actual liabilities based on information (principally the payment of claims) developed since those liabilities were first reported. The following table presents the components of the change in medical claims and benefits payable for the periods indicated: MOLINA HEALTHCARE, INC. RECONCILIATION OF UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (In millions, except per diluted share amounts) The Company believes that certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures are useful supplemental measures to investors in comparing the Company’s performance to the performance of other public companies in the health care industry. The non-GAAP financial measures are also used internally to enable management to assess the Company’s performance consistently over time. These non-GAAP financial measures, presented below, should be considered as supplements to, and not as substitutes for or superior to, GAAP measures. Adjustments represent additions and deductions to GAAP net income as indicated in the table below, which include the non-cash impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, and the impact of certain expenses and other items that management believes are not indicative of longer-term business trends and operations. Adjusted G&A Ratio represents the GAAP G&A ratio, recognizing adjustments. Adjusted net income represents GAAP net income recognizing the adjustments, net of tax. The Company believes that adjusted net income is helpful to investors in assessing the Company’s financial performance. Adjusted net income per diluted share represents adjusted net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis. Adjusted after-tax margin represents adjusted net income, divided by total revenue. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company includes in this release the financial measure, "new store embedded earnings," which is a non-GAAP measure. The term is defined as the incremental diluted earnings per share impact that we expect to achieve between 2027 and 2029 related to newly awarded but not yet commenced state Medicaid contracts, and recently closed and announced acquisitions. The incremental impact reflects the expected full-year earnings for the newly awarded California, Iowa, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, Georgia, and Florida Medicaid contracts, the newly awarded Idaho, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Ohio Medicare Duals contracts, and the California Medicare Health Plans and ConnectiCare acquisitions, not yet included in the 2026 full-year guidance issued by the Company. This measure excludes amortization of intangible assets and non-recurring costs associated with acquisitions, including various transaction and integration costs. The Company and management believe this measure is useful to investors in assessing the Company’s expected performance related to new contracts and acquisitions, and is used internally to enable management to assess the Company’s performance consistently over time. New store embedded earnings should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, GAAP measures. Management is unable to reconcile this measure to the growth in GAAP earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort due to the unknown impact from exit or disposal activities related to the MAPD product, and amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, which cannot be determined until purchase accounting valuations are completed. Non-recurring costs associated with acquisitions are estimated at approximately $55 million.
