Non-GAAP Financial Presentation

The Company is providing certain non-GAAP financial measures in this report, 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 to allow management to focus on period-to-period changes in the Company's core business operations. Therefore, the Company believes that this information is meaningful in addition to the information contained in the GAAP presentation of financial information. The presentation of this additional non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Specifically, the Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial information that excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition related expenses, as well as other items, allows investors to develop a more meaningful understanding of the Company's performance over time. The tables below provide reconciliations of non-GAAP items ($ in millions, except per share data):

CENTENE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Operations

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared under the presumption that users of the interim financial information have either read or have access to the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The unaudited interim financial statements herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the December 31, 2021 audited financial statements have been omitted from these interim financial statements, where appropriate. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented.

Certain 2021 amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2022 presentation. Beginning in 2022, the Company has included a separate line item for depreciation expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, which was previously included in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. Prior period SG&A expense ratios have also been conformed to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net earnings or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

On January 4, 2022, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Magellan Health, Inc. (Magellan) (the Magellan Acquisition). The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. See Note 2. Acquisitions for further details.

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

The Company has determined that there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

2. Acquisitions

Magellan Acquisition

On January 4, 2022, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Magellan. The Magellan Acquisition enables Centene to provide whole-health, integrated healthcare solutions to deliver better health outcomes at lower costs for complex, high-cost populations. Total consideration for the acquisition was $2,561 million, consisting of $2,501 million in cash and $60 million related to the fair value of replacement equity awards associated with pre-combination service. The Company recognized $97 million of acquisition related expenses, primarily related to Magellan, that were in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The Magellan Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting that requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Due to the timing of the acquisition, the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized, and as a result, the preliminary estimates have been recorded and are subject to change. Any necessary adjustments from the preliminary estimates will be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition. Measurement period adjustments will be recorded in the period in which they are determined, as if they had been completed at the acquisition date.

The Company's preliminary allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date of January 4, 2022 is as follows ($ in millions):
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed  
Cash and cash equivalents
 $ 997 
Premium and related receivables
 855 
Short-term investments

Other current assets
 225

Total assets acquired 3,012

Accounts payable and accrued expenses 476

Unearned revenue 8 
Current portion of long-term debt 5 
Long-term debt (b)
542 
Deferred tax liabilities (c)
81 
Other long-term liabilities 82 
Total liabilities assumed 1,518 
Mezzanine equity 32 
Total identifiable net assets 1,462 
Goodwill (d)
1,099 
Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed
 $ 2,561 

The Company has made the following preliminary fair value adjustments based on information reviewed through March 31, 2022. Significant fair value adjustments are noted as follows:

(a)     The identifiable intangible assets acquired are to be measured at fair value as of the completion of the acquisition. The fair value of intangible assets will be determined primarily using variations of the income approach, which is based on the present value of the future after tax cash flows attributable to each identified intangible asset. Other valuation methods, including the market approach and cost approach, will be considered in estimating the fair value. The identifiable intangible assets include purchased contract rights, trade names, provider contracts and developed technologies.

(b)    Debt is required to be measured at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of Magellan's Senior Notes and Credit Agreement assumed in the acquisition was $535 million. In January 2022, the Company paid off Magellan's debt acquired in the transaction using Magellan's cash on hand.

(c)    The preliminary deferred tax liabilities are presented net of $117 million of deferred tax assets.

(d)    Goodwill is estimated at $1,099 million and primarily relates to synergies expected from the acquisition and the assembled workforce of Magellan. The assignment of goodwill to the Company’s respective segments has not been completed at this time, but the majority of goodwill is expected to be allocated to the Specialty segment. The majority of the goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

(1) Investments in equity securities primarily consist of exchange traded funds in fixed income securities.

The Company's investments are debt securities classified as available-for-sale with the exception of equity securities, certain private equity investments and life insurance contracts. The Company's investment policies are designed to provide liquidity, preserve capital and maximize total return on invested assets with the focus on high credit quality securities. The Company limits the size of investment in any single issuer other than U.S. treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies. As of March 31, 2022, 98% of the Company's investments in rated securities carry an investment grade rating by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. At March 31, 2022, the Company held certificates of deposit, equity securities, private equity investments and life insurance contracts, which did not carry a credit rating. Accrued interest income on available-for-sale debt securities was $101 million and $96 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company's residential mortgage-backed securities are primarily issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association, Government National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, which carry implicit or explicit guarantees of the U.S. government. The Company's commercial mortgage-backed securities are primarily senior tranches with a weighted average rating of AA and a weighted average duration of 4 years at March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2022, the gross unrealized losses were generated from 5,048 positions out of a total of 6,748 positions. The change in fair value of available-for-sale debt securities is primarily a result of movement in interest rates subsequent to the purchase of the security.

For each security in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether it intends to sell the security or if it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis for reasons such as liquidity, contractual or regulatory purposes. If the security meets this criterion, the decline in fair value is recorded in earnings. The Company does not intend to sell these securities prior to maturity and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell these securities prior to maturity; therefore, the Company did not record an impairment for these securities.

In addition, the Company monitors available-for-sale debt securities for credit losses. Certain investments have experienced a decline in fair value due to changes in credit quality, market interest rates and/or general economic conditions. The Company recognizes an allowance when evidence demonstrates that the decline in fair value is credit related. Evidence of a credit related loss may include rating agency actions, adverse conditions specifically related to the security, or failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled payments.

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to call or prepayment options. Equity securities, private equity investments and life insurance contracts are excluded from the table above because they do not have a contractual maturity. The Company has an option to redeem at amortized cost substantially all of the securities included in the greater than ten years category listed above.

4. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based upon observable or unobservable inputs used to estimate fair value. Level inputs are as follows:
Level Input: Input Definition:
Level I Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
 
Level II Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
 
Level III Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at March 31, 2022, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis ($ in millions):
