Cautionary Statements
The company and its representatives may from time to time make
written and oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (“PSLRA”) of 1995,
including statements in this and other press releases, in
presentations, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), reports to stockholders and in meetings with investors and
analysts. All statements in this press release, other than
statements of historical information provided herein, may be deemed
to be forward-looking statements and as such are intended to be
covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements”
provided by PSLRA. These statements are based on management’s
analysis, judgment, belief and expectation only as of the date
hereof, and are subject to changes in circumstances and a number of
risks and uncertainties. Without limiting the foregoing, statements
including the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,”
“may,” “should,” “could,” “estimate,” “intend,” “feels,” “will,”
“projects” and other similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially
from those expressed in, or implied or projected by the
forward-looking information and statements due to, among other
things, health care reform and other increased government
participation in and taxation or regulation of health benefits and
managed care operations, including but not limited to the
implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
(collectively, the "ACA") and related fees, assessments and taxes;
the company’s ability to successfully participate in California’s
Coordinated Care Initiative, which is subject to a number of risks
inherent in untested health care initiatives and requires the
company to adequately predict the costs of providing benefits to
individuals that are generally among the most chronically ill
within each of Medicare and Medi-Cal and implement delivery systems
for benefits with which the company has limited operating
experience; the company’s ability to successfully participate in
the federal and state health insurance exchanges under the ACA,
which have experienced technical challenges in implementation and
which involve uncertainties related to the mix and volume of
business that could negatively impact the adequacy of our premium
rates and may not be sufficiently offset by the risk apportionment
provisions of the ACA; increasing health care costs, including but
not limited to costs associated with the introduction of new
treatments or therapies; our ability to reduce administrative
expenses while maintaining targeted levels of service and operating
performance which could be significantly impacted if we are unable
to reach a final agreement with Cognizant Technology Solutions or
do not receive applicable regulatory approval of any final services
agreement; negative prior period claims reserve developments; rate
cuts and other risks and uncertainties affecting the company’s
Medicare or Medicaid businesses; the company’s ability to
successfully participate in Arizona’s Medicaid program; trends in
medical care ratios; membership declines or negative changes in our
health care product mix; unexpected utilization patterns or
unexpectedly severe or widespread illnesses; the timing of
collections on amounts receivable from state and federal
governments and agencies, including collections of amounts owed
under the T-3 contract; litigation costs; regulatory issues with
federal and state agencies including, but not limited to, the
California Department of Managed Health Care, the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Office of Civil Rights of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state departments
of insurance; operational issues; changes in economic or market
conditions; failure to effectively oversee our third-party vendors;
noncompliance by the company or the company’s business associates
with any privacy laws or any security breach involving the
misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized use or disclosure of
confidential information; impairment of the company’s goodwill or
other intangible assets; investment portfolio impairment charges;
volatility in the financial markets; and general business and
market conditions. Additional factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those reflected in the
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the
risks discussed in the “Risk Factors” section included within the
company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC and the other
risks discussed in the company’s filings with the SEC. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements. Except as may be required by law, the company
undertakes no obligation to address or publicly update any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that
arise after the date of this release.
