Third Quarter 2021 Highlights and Other Recent Developments:

Net revenue increased 7.2% percent over the third quarter of 2020 to $1.25 billion.
Net loss from continuing operations decreased by $17.2 million from the third quarter of 2020 to a net loss of $0.1 million.
Segment profit increased 11.4% percent from the third quarter of 2020 to $38.0 million.
Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share were $6.0 million and $0.03 for the quarter as compared to the prior year quarter of $2.1 million and $0.08, respectively.
The Company expects the merger with Centene Corporation ("Centene") to close during the fourth quarter of 2021.

"I am pleased with our third quarter performance, which demonstrates the progress we've made across our business to establish a stronger foundation for growth. We remain enthusiastic about our efforts to innovate through new solutions designed to enable healthy vibrant lives for the members of our health plan, employer and public sector customers. Our organization is energized about the opportunity to join with Centene's Health Care Enterprises division following the completion of the pending merger," said Kenneth Fasola, chief executive officer, Magellan Health.

Net Revenue

Net revenue from continuing operations was $1.25 billion for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 7.2% compared to third quarter of 2020 primarily due to net new business growth in the Healthcare segment, partially offset by a modest

decline in the Pharmacy Management segment as a result of the January 1, 2021 non-renewal of Magellan Rx's Individual Part D Prescription Drug Plan (PDP).

Segment Profit

Segment profit from continuing operations was $38.0 million for third quarter of 2021, an increase of 11.4% compared to $34.1 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Healthcare segment profit was $20.6 million, representing a slight decrease of $0.6 million from 2020. An increase in corporate investments, was largely off-set by favorable net business growth.
Pharmacy Management segment profit was $29.0 million, compared to $31.4 million in 2020. Growth in specialty and government coupled with the non-renewal of Magellan Rx's Individual PDP, were offset by an increase in corporate investments and new contract implementation costs.
Corporate segment costs inclusive of eliminations, but excluding stock compensation expense, totaled $11.6 million, as compared to $18.6 million in 2020. This decrease was primarily driven by the reduction of stranded corporate overhead expenses associated with discontinued operations in the prior year quarter.

Other Items

The Company recorded a special charge of $1.9 million during the third quarter of 2021 primarily related to non-cash lease termination and abandonment costs for planned reductions to the Company's real estate footprint related to the transformation operational initiatives.

The income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the third quarter of 2021 was $6.1 million, as compared to income from discontinued operations of $28.9 million during the third quarter of 2020. This decrease is due to the sale of Magellan Complete Care business ("MCC Business") to Molina Healthcare, Inc. ("Molina") effective December 31, 2020.

Cash Flow & Balance Sheet

Cash flow provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $60.1 million, as compared to $54.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company's unrestricted cash and investments totaled $1.012 billion, as compared to $1.149 billion at December 31, 2020. This decrease is largely due to voluntary term loan repayments of $100 million in March, tax payments of approximately $75 million which mainly relate to the gain from the sale of the MCC business and unfavorable changes in working capital. Approximately $37.5 million of the unrestricted cash and investments at September 30, 2021 is related to excess capital and undistributed earnings held at regulated entities of continuing operations.

Earnings Conference Call

Due to the pending transaction with Centene, the Company is not hosting a conference call in conjunction with its third quarter 2021 earnings release and does not expect to do so in future quarters. Please direct any questions regarding this earnings release to Magellan's Investor Relations or Media contacts.

Basis of Presentation

In addition to results determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Magellan provides certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful in assessing the Company's performance. Following is a description of these important non-GAAP measures.

Segment profit is equal to net revenue less the sum of cost of care, cost of goods sold, direct service costs and other operating expenses, and includes income from unconsolidated subsidiaries and the settlement of a legal matter, but excludes segment profit or loss from non-controlling interests held by other parties, stock compensation expense, special charges or benefits, as well as changes in the fair value of contingent consideration recorded in relation to acquisitions.

Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share reflect certain adjustments made for acquisitions to exclude non-cash stock compensation expense resulting from restricted stock purchases by sellers, changes in the fair value of

contingent consideration, amortization of identified acquisition intangibles, as well as impairment of identified acquisition intangibles, special charges, and any impact related to the sale of MCC.

Included in the tables issued with this press release are the reconciliations from GAAP measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures.

MCC Business Reflected as Discontinued Operations

Due to the sale of the MCC Business to Molina, the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented reflect the MCC Business as discontinued operations.
