NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2026
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Operations
Molina Healthcare, Inc. provides managed healthcare services under the Medicaid and Medicare programs, and through the state insurance marketplaces (the “Marketplace”). We currently have four reportable segments consisting of: 1) Medicaid; 2) Medicare; 3) Marketplace; and 4) Other. Our reportable segments are consistent with how we currently manage the business and view the markets we serve.
As of September 30, 2026, we served approximately 4.9 million members eligible for government-sponsored healthcare programs, located across 21 states.
Our state Medicaid contracts typically have terms of three years to five years , contain renewal options exercisable by the state Medicaid agency, and allow either the state or the health plan to terminate the contract with or without cause. Such contracts are subject to risk of loss in states that issue requests for proposal (“RFP”) open to competitive bidding by other health plans. If one of our health plans is not a successful responsive bidder to a state RFP, its contract may not be renewed.
In addition to contract renewal, our state Medicaid contracts may be periodically amended to include or exclude certain health benefits (such as pharmacy services, behavioral health services, or long-term care services); populations such as the aged, blind or disabled; and regions or service areas.
In Medicare, we enter into Medicare Advantage-Part D (“MAPD”) and dual eligible special needs plan (“DSNP”) contracts with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) annually, and for certain dual-eligible programs, we enter into contracts with CMS, in partnership with each state’s department of health and human services. Such contracts typically have terms of one year to three years .
In Marketplace, we enter into contracts with CMS, which end on December 31 each year, and must be renewed annually.
Consolidation and Interim Financial Information
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Molina Healthcare, Inc. and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results as of the dates and for the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2026.
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that users of the interim financial data have either read or have access to our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Accordingly, certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in our December 31, 2025, audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted.

| Restricted cash and cash equivalents | |||||||||||
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows | $ | $ | |||||||||
Receivables
Receivables consist primarily of premium amounts due from government agencies, which are subject to potential retroactive adjustments, as well as pharmacy rebates and other receivables. Government receivables amounted to $2,274 million and $2,365 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. We apply the current expected credit loss model to measure expected credit losses on our receivables based on available information about past events and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Because substantially all of our receivable amounts are readily determinable and substantially all of our creditors are governmental authorities, our allowance for credit losses is insignificant. Any amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to expense when such determination is made.
Premium Revenue Recognition and Amounts Due Government Agencies
The Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) established a Minimum MLR of 85 40 million and $28 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, to “Amounts due government agencies” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The ACA established a Minimum MLR of 80 No liability was recorded as of September 30, 2026. We recorded a liability under the terms of such contract provisions of $12 million at December 31, 2025, to “Amounts due government agencies” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Molina Healthcare, Inc. September 30, 2026 Form 10-Q | 8
Premium Deficiency Reserve on Loss Contracts
We assess the profitability of our contracts to determine if it is probable that a loss will be incurred in the future by reviewing current results and forecasts. For purposes of this assessment, contracts are grouped in a manner consistent with our method of acquiring, servicing and measuring the profitability of such contracts. A premium deficiency reserve is recognized if anticipated future medical care and administrative costs exceed anticipated future premium revenue, investment income and reinsurance recoveries.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments, receivables, and restricted investments. Our investments and a portion of our cash equivalents are managed by professional portfolio managers operating under documented investment guidelines. Our portfolio managers must obtain our prior approval before selling investments where the loss position of those investments exceeds certain levels. Our investments consist primarily of investment-grade debt securities with final maturities of less than 15 years, or less than 15 years average life for structured securities. Restricted investments are invested principally in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury securities, and corporate debt securities. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited because our payors consist principally of the federal government, and governments of each state in which our health plan subsidiaries operate.
Impairment
In February 2026, we determined that the MAPD product does not align with our strategic shift to focus exclusively on dual-eligible members in Medicare and we intend to exit this product for 2027. The projected cash flows of the MAPD product will not exceed the carrying amount of the related intangible assets. As such, we impaired the remaining intangible assets during the first quarter of 2026, which amounted to $93 million. The following major classes of intangibles were impaired in the amounts listed: contract rights and licenses with a remaining balance of $62 million, provider networks with a remaining balance of $4 million, and trade name with a remaining balance of $27 million.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, which generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily because of tax credits, state taxes, and nondeductible expenses such as certain compensation and other general and administrative expenses.
The effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuations during the year as new information is obtained. Such information may affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including projected pretax earnings, the mix of pretax earnings in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition or the reversal of the recognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where we conduct business. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities, along with net operating loss and tax credit carryovers.
Molina Healthcare, Inc. September 30, 2026 Form 10-Q | 9
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) did not have, nor does management expect such pronouncements to have, a significant impact on our present or future consolidated financial statements.
3. Net Income Per Share
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:

______________________________
(1) The dilutive effect of all potentially dilutive common shares is calculated using the treasury stock method. Certain potentially dilutive common shares issuable are not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, 280,000 and 226,000 shares, respectively, were excluded from diluted shares outstanding. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, 532,000 and 265,000 shares were excluded from diluted shares outstanding.
(2) Source data for calculations in thousands.
4. Fair Value Measurements
We consider the carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities to approximate their fair values because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization or payment. For our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value according to the three-tier fair value hierarchy. For a description of the methods and assumptions used to: a) estimate the fair value; and b) determine the classification according to the fair value hierarchy for each financial instrument, refer to our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Note 5, “Fair Value Measurements.”

In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, maturities and redemptions of available-for-sale securities amounted to $928 million and $933 million, respectively, and sales amounted to $92 million and $84 million, respectively. Gross realized gains and losses from sales of available-for-sale securities are calculated under the specific identification method and are included in investment income. Gross realized investment gains and losses were insignificant for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Restricted Investments Held-to-Maturity
Pursuant to the regulations governing our state health plan subsidiaries, we maintain statutory deposits and deposits required by government authorities primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury securities, and corporate debt securities. We also maintain restricted investments as protection against the insolvency of certain capitated providers. The use of these funds is limited as required by regulations in the various states in which we operate, or as needed in the event of insolvency of capitated providers. Therefore, such investments are reported as “Restricted investments” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
We have the intent and ability to hold these restricted investments until maturity and, as a result, we expect to collect the contractual cash flows associated with these investments and do not recognize interim fluctuations in fair value. Accordingly, our held-to-maturity restricted investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Such investments amounted to $345 million at September 30, 2026, of which $281 million will mature in one year or less, $61 million will mature in one through five years, and $3 million will mature after five years.
6. Medical Claims and Benefits Payable
The following tables present the components of the change in our medical claims and benefits payable for the periods indicated. The amounts presented for “Components of medical care costs related to: Prior years” represent the amount by which our original estimate of medical claims and benefits payable at the beginning of the year varied from the actual liabilities, based on information (principally the payment of claims) developed since those liabilities were first reported.

Incurred but not paid claims amount totaled $2,985 million as of September 30, 2026, and includes the costs of claims incurred as of the balance sheet date which have been reported to us, and our best estimate of the cost of claims incurred but not yet reported to us. Our estimates of medical claims and benefits payable recorded at December 31, 2025, and 2024 developed favorably by approximately $352 million and $124 million as of September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

Senior Notes
Each of these notes are senior unsecured obligations of the parent corporation, Molina Healthcare, Inc., and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt, and senior to all existing and future subordinated debt of Molina Healthcare, Inc. The senior note indentures contain customary non-financial covenants and change of control provisions. As of September 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all non-financial covenants in the indentures governing the senior notes.
The indentures governing the senior notes contain cross-default provisions that are triggered upon default by us or any of our subsidiaries on any indebtedness in excess of the amount specified in the applicable indenture. As discussed below, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2026, so there is no risk of a cross-default under the senior notes.
Credit Agreement
We are party to a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which includes a revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) of $1.25 billion, a $15 million swingline sub-facility, a $100 million letter of credit sub-facility, as well as uncommitted capacity to incur incremental term loans to finance certain acquisitions up to $800 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest based, at our election, on a base rate or other defined rate, plus in each case, the applicable margin. In addition to interest payable on the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding from time to time under the Credit Agreement, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee. The Credit Agreement has a term of five years , and all amounts outstanding will be due and payable on November 20, 2030.
The Credit Agreement contains customary non-financial and financial covenants, including maintenance of a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio threshold of 3.0 to 1.0, and a maximum Consolidated Total Debt to Capital Ratio of 60 %, with a step-up to 65 % for four fiscal quarters following a material acquisition or series of related acquisitions (i.e., $500 million or greater cash consideration). We executed an amendment to the Credit Agreement on February 4, 2026 that temporarily reduces the Interest Coverage Ratio threshold to (a) with respect to each fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2026 through and including December 31, 2026, 1.75 :1.00, (b) with respect to fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2027, 2.00 :1.00, (c) with respect to fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2027, 2.50 :1.00 and (d) with respect to fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2027, 2.75 :1.00. As of September 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all non-financial and financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.
As of September 30, 2026, no amount was outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
8. Segments
We currently have four reportable segments consisting of: 1) Medicaid; 2) Medicare; 3) Marketplace; and 4) Other. Our reportable segments are consistent with how we currently manage the business and view the markets we serve.
The Medicaid, Medicare, and Marketplace segments represent the government-funded or sponsored programs under which we offer managed healthcare services. The Other segment, which is insignificant to our consolidated results of operations, includes long-term services and supports consultative services in Wisconsin and the
Molina Healthcare, Inc. September 30, 2026 Form 10-Q | 15
commercial portion of the business acquired in connection with the ConnectiCare transaction that closed effective February 1, 2025.
The key metrics used to assess the performance of our segments are revenue, margin and medical care ratio (“MCR”). MCR represents the amount of medical care costs as a percentage of premium revenue. Therefore, the underlying margin, or the amount earned by the segments after medical or service costs are deducted from revenue, represents the most important measure of earnings reviewed by management, and is used by our chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, to review results, assess performance, and allocate resources. Such oversight and decision making includes, among others, pricing, approving capital expenditures, and identifying growth opportunities. We do not report total assets by segment since this is not a metric used to assess segment performance or allocate resources.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state, and local governments, as well as various contractual provisions, governing our operations. Compliance with these laws, regulations, and contractual provisions can be subject to government audit, review, and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions. Penalties associated with violations of these laws, regulations, and contractual provisions can include significant fines and penalties, temporary or permanent exclusion from participating in publicly funded programs, a limitation on our ability to market or sell products, the repayment of previously billed and collected revenues, and reputational damage.
We are involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of business including, but not limited to, various employment claims, vendor disputes, and provider claims. Some of these legal actions seek monetary damages, including claims for punitive damages, which may not be covered by insurance. We review legal matters and update our estimates, or range of estimates, of reasonably possible and estimable losses and related disclosures, as necessary. We have accrued liabilities for legal matters for which we deem the loss to be both probable and reasonably estimable. These liability estimates could change as a result of further developments. The outcome of these legal actions are inherently uncertain. An adverse determination in one or more of these pending matters could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On October 3, 2025, a securities class action, captioned Hindlemann v. Molina Healthcare, Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (the “Securities Action”). The Securities Action was brought on behalf of a putative class of shareholders who had acquired Company securities between February 5, 2025 and July 23, 2025. On March 31, 2026, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated complaint, and expanded the purported class period from October 23, 2024 to February 6, 2026. The Securities Action asserted violations of federal securities laws relating to the Company’s disclosures, including those involving earnings guidance. On June 5, 2026, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On October 20, 2026, this matter was formally dismissed by the Court with prejudice. On December 12, 2025, a shareholder derivative suit, captioned Taylor v. Wolf, et al., had been filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the

OVERVIEW
Molina Healthcare, Inc., a FORTUNE 500 company, provides managed healthcare services under the Medicaid and Medicare programs, and through the state insurance marketplaces (the “Marketplace”). We served approximately 4.9 million members as of September 30, 2026, located across 21 states.
THIRD QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTS
We reported net income of $38 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2026, which reflected the following:
•Membership of 4.9 million at September 30, 2026, which decreased 766,000, or 14%, compared with September 30, 2025, primarily due to general market contraction in Medicaid, and a decrease in Marketplace membership resulting from our product and pricing strategy;
•Premium revenue of $10.5 billion, which decreased 4% compared with the third quarter of 2025, mainly reflects the impact of lower membership, partially offset by rate updates;
•Consolidated medical care ratio (“MCR”) of 92.9% compared with 92.6% for the third quarter of 2025, as we continue to navigate a challenging medical cost environment;
•General and administrative expense (“G&A”) ratio of 6.4%, consistent with the third quarter of 2025; and
•Pre-tax margin of 0.5%.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
NET INCOME AND OPERATING INCOME
Net income in the third quarter of 2026 amounted to $38 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, compared with $79 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2025. Net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 amounted to $112 million, or $2.19 per diluted share, compared with $632 million, or $11.79 per diluted share, in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Molina Healthcare, Inc. September 30, 2026 Form 10-Q | 24
Operating income decreased to $106 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared with $137 million in the third quarter of 2025. Operating income in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 decreased to $334 million, compared with $943 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The change in operating income was mainly due to the impact of lower premium revenue, the increase in MCR, and the $93 million impairment charge related to our planned exit of the MAPD product in 2027 that was recorded in the first quarter of 2026.
PREMIUM REVENUE
Premium revenue decreased $384 million, or 4%, in the third quarter of 2026, when compared with the third quarter of 2025, and decreased $1.5 billion, or 5%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, when compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The lower premium revenue in both periods reflects the impact of lower membership, partially offset by rate updates. See further discussion in “Reportable Segments—Segment Financial Performance,” below.
MEDICAL CARE RATIO
The consolidated MCR in the third quarter of 2026 increased to 92.9%, compared with 92.6% in the third quarter of 2025, or 30 basis points, and the consolidated MCR in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased to 92.1%, compared with 90.8% MCR for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, or 130 basis points. The increase in the third quarter of 2026 is mainly attributable to our Medicaid segment. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, reflects a higher MCR in all of our segments, as we continue to navigate a challenging medical cost environment. See further discussion in “Reportable Segments—Segment Financial Performance,” below.
The impact of prior year reserve development in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was partially absorbed by minimum MLRs and medical cost corridors.
PREMIUM TAX REVENUE AND EXPENSES
The premium tax ratio (premium tax expense as a percentage of premium revenue plus premium tax revenue) was 4.6% and 4.5% for the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 4.7% and 3.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increased ratio for both periods was mainly due to state mix changes in our Medicaid segment.

Investment income decreased to $102 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared with $108 million in the third quarter of 2025, and decreased to $301 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $322 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decline in prevailing interest rates and investment yields.
OTHER REVENUE
Other revenue amounted to $23 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared with $22 million in the third quarter of 2025, and totaled $69 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $67 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Other revenue mainly includes service revenue associated with long-term services and supports consultative services we provide in Wisconsin.
G&A EXPENSES
The G&A expense ratio was 6.4% in the third quarter of 2026, consistent with the third quarter of 2025. The G&A expense ratio was 6.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with 6.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in G&A ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 reflects the impact of lower premium revenues, partially offset by the impact of continued operating discipline.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization was $38 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared with $45 million in the third quarter of 2025, and was $117 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $151 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease is due to certain intangibles becoming fully amortized and the resulting impact from the impairment discussed below.
IMPAIRMENT
In the first quarter of 2026, we recognized an impairment of $93 million on intangible assets due to our strategic shift to focus exclusively on dual-eligible members in Medicare and plan to exit MAPD for 2027.
Molina Healthcare, Inc. September 30, 2026 Form 10-Q | 25
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES
Other operating expenses amounted to $9 million in the third quarter of 2026, a decrease of $7 million compared with the third quarter of 2025, and amounted to $57 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $9 million compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Other operating expenses primarily include service costs associated with long-term services and supports consultative services we provide in Wisconsin, as noted above. Additionally, the changes in both periods reflect lower non-recurring costs associated with acquisitions compared to 2025.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense was $53 million and $49 million in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $161 million and $140 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase is mainly attributable to the issuance of $850 million of notes in November 2025.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense amounted to $15 million in the third quarter of 2026, or 28.5% of pretax income, compared with income tax expense of $9 million, or 10.1% of pretax income, in the third quarter of 2025. Income tax expense amounted to $61 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, or 35.2% of pretax income, compared with income tax expense of $171 million, or 21.3% of pretax income, in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The differences in the effective tax rate is due to the impact of higher nondeductible expenses and lower tax benefits related to transferrable federal tax credits on lower pretax income in 2026, and differences in discrete tax items recognized in the respective periods.
TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES
LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”)
The President signed the OBBBA into law in July 2025, which contains changes to the Medicaid and Marketplace programs. For Medicaid, the law requires states to establish work requirements, more frequent redeterminations, and cost sharing for the Expansion program over the period from 2027 to 2029, among other modifications. These changes are expected to reduce enrollment in state Medicaid programs, but the timing and magnitude of the reductions may vary by state depending on how quickly states implement the changes, as well as macroeconomic factors since some changes are subject to suspension in case of increases in local unemployment rates. We estimate the reduction in enrollment will emerge gradually and reduce premium at compounded annual growth of 2% to 3% through 2029, primarily in Medicaid Expansion, and any acuity shift should be minor and gradual. An estimated two-thirds of our Expansion members already work in some capacity. The law also reduces revenues that states can raise through provider taxes to finance their share of Medicaid spending and limits payments to Medicaid providers to 100 percent of the mandated Medicare rate for Expansion states and 110 percent of the Medicare rate for non-Expansion states. These changes are scheduled to begin in 2028, and we expect they may take 5 to 10 years to be fully implemented. Their impact is uncertain at this time and will depend on how states may adapt their future tax and Medicaid funding policies in response.
The law limits which legal aliens may be eligible for Marketplace premium tax credits (“PTCs”) and will require pre-enrollment eligibility verification for enrollees to receive PTCs. These changes are planned to be phased in over the period from 2026 to 2028 and are expected to reduce national Marketplace enrollment as well.
Marketplace Program Integrity and Affordability Rule
In June 2025, the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) finalized the Marketplace Program Integrity and Affordability Rule. The rule, among other changes, shortens the open enrollment period starting in 2027, eliminated the special enrollment period for people with incomes at or below 150% federal poverty level, and tightened eligibility verification requirements for all enrollees. Certain provisions of the Marketplace Program Integrity and Affordability Rule have been subject to legal challenges. The Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters (“NBPP”) Final Rule for the 2027 plan year reintroduces updated versions of certain of these provisions, which could significantly impact the Marketplace. Certain of the provisions have been subject to legal challenge, and the outcome of these legal challenges and the long-term impacts of the Marketplace Program Integrity and Affordability Rule and the NBPP Rule are uncertain.

Our Georgia health plan was the top scorer, and was noticed for award of one of the four statewide contracts. The new contract was originally scheduled to commence on July 1, 2025; however, due to ongoing procurement protests, we now anticipate implementation beginning in late 2027 or in 2028.
Texas Procurement—Medicaid - STAR CHIP. In the first quarter of 2024, we were notified of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission’s intent to award us a contract for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (“TANF”) and Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) (known in Texas as the STAR & CHIP programs, and both existing contracts for Molina), expanding our footprint and expecting to grow our market share. The expected start of operations is now in late 2027 or in 2028.
Business Trends
Medicaid. We expect our Medicaid enrollment to decrease in 2026, to a total of 4.4 million members by the end of the year, excluding the 120,000 members we expect to serve in the new Florida Kids program that commenced on October 1, 2026, due to general market contraction.
MMP Transition—Medicare. On January 1, 2026, we successfully completed the transition of Medicare-Medicaid Plan (“MMP”) members in five states (Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas) to new integrated dual eligible special needs plans (“FIDE/HIDE”), which totaled approximately $1.9 billion in total premium revenue in 2025. Our duals business will be the long-term strategic focus for our Medicare segment. As previously mentioned, we will exit the MAPD product in 2027.
Molina Healthcare, Inc. September 30, 2026 Form 10-Q | 27
Medicare. We expect our Medicare enrollment to decrease in 2026, including further reductions in MAPD membership aimed at improving margins to a total of 230,000 members, or 12%, by the end of the year. In 2026, we are participating in Medicare in all our markets except Florida.
Marketplace. In 2026, we are offering Marketplace health plans in all our markets except Arizona, Iowa, Massachusetts, Nebraska, and New York. We now expect our Marketplace enrollment to decrease to approximately 250,000 members by the end of the year, in line with our product and pricing strategy towards restoring our target margins. We expect to make further reductions in Marketplace enrollment for 2027 towards restoring our target margins, which we estimate to result in a $1 billion decrease in Marketplace premiums compared to 2026.
REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
As of September 30, 2026, we served approximately 4.9 million members eligible for Medicaid, Medicare, and other government-sponsored healthcare programs for low-income families and individuals, including Marketplace members, most of whom receive government premium subsidies.
We currently have four reportable segments consisting of: 1) Medicaid; 2) Medicare; 3) Marketplace; and 4) Other.
The Medicaid, Medicare, and Marketplace segments represent the government-funded or sponsored programs under which we offer managed healthcare services. The Other segment, which is insignificant to our consolidated results of operations, includes long-term services and supports consultative services in Wisconsin and the commercial portion of the business acquired in connection with the ConnectiCare transaction that closed effective February 1, 2025.
HOW WE ASSESS PERFORMANCE
We derive our revenues primarily from health insurance premiums. Our primary customers are state Medicaid agencies and the federal government.
The key metrics used to assess the performance of our segments are revenue, margin and medical care ratio (“MCR”). MCR represents the amount of medical care costs as a percentage of premium revenue. Therefore, the underlying margin, or the amount earned by the segments after medical or service costs are deducted from revenue, represents the most important measure of earnings reviewed by management, and is used by our chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, to review results, assess performance, and allocate resources. Such oversight and decision making includes, among others, pricing, approving capital expenditures, and identifying growth opportunities. We do not report total assets by segment since this is not a metric used to assess segment performance or allocate resources.
Management’s discussion and analysis of the change in medical margin is discussed below under “Segment Financial Performance.” For more information, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 8, “Segments.”

________________________
(1) The Other MCRs are not meaningful.
Medicaid
Medicaid premium revenue increased $184 million, or 2.3%, in the third quarter of 2026, when compared with the third quarter of 2025, but was relatively unchanged on a net basis in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, when compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Both periods in 2026 reflect the impact of rate updates, program changes, and member mix changes, offset by the impact of lower membership due to general Medicaid market contraction. Additionally, the change in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reflects the expiration of our Virginia Medicaid contract effective June 30, 2025.
The medical margin in our Medicaid program decreased $62 million, or 10%, in the third quarter of 2026 when compared with the third quarter of 2025, and decreased $334 million, or 16%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The changes for both periods were mainly driven by the increases in the MCR, as described below.
The Medicaid MCR increased 100 basis points to 93.0% in the third quarter of 2026, from 92.0% in the third quarter of 2025, and increased 140 basis points to 92.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, from 91.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in both periods reflects a challenging medical cost environment, particularly in outpatient and high-cost drug cost categories, program changes, and member mix changes, partially offset by rate updates that were in effect during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The MCR is in line with our expectations.
Medicare
Medicare premium revenue increased $6 million, in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025, and increased $12 million, or 0.3%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in both periods primarily reflects changes in product mix, as we transitioned MMP members into integrated duals products, and membership growth associated with the ConnectiCare acquisition that closed on February 1, 2025, partially offset by the impact of further reductions in our MAPD footprint due to our pricing strategy aimed at improving margins.
The medical margin for Medicare increased $10 million in the third quarter of 2026, and decreased $23 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, when compared to the same periods in 2025. The changes for both
Molina Healthcare, Inc. September 30, 2026 Form 10-Q | 29
periods were mainly due to the changes in MCR discussed below, and the year-over-year changes in premium revenues discussed above.
The Medicare MCR decreased to 93.0% in the third quarter of 2026, or 60 basis points, compared to the third quarter of 2025, and increased to 91.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, or 50 basis points, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in the third quarter was primarily due to favorable risk adjustment premiums and prior period reserve development, partially offset by the impact of product mix changes. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was mainly attributable to the impact of product mix changes from transitioning MMP members into integrated duals products discussed above. The third quarter MCR is in line with our expectations.
Marketplace
Marketplace premium revenue decreased $555 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025, and decreased $1.4 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to an expected decrease in membership in line with our product and pricing strategy towards restoring our target margins, and the impact of changes in estimate for prior year risk adjustment. Our Marketplace membership as of September 30, 2026, amounted to 267,000 members, representing a decrease of 446,000 members compared to September 30, 2025.
The Marketplace medical margin decreased $5 million in the third quarter of 2026 when compared with the third quarter of 2025, and decreased $178 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The changes in each period were primarily due to the decline in premium revenue discussed above and the MCR changes discussed below.
The Marketplace MCR decreased to 92.5% in the third quarter of 2026, or 310 basis points, compared to 95.6% in the third quarter of 2025, and increased to 88.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, or 40 basis points, compared to 87.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in the MCR for the third quarter of 2026 was mainly due to the impact of favorable changes in estimate for risk adjustment premiums, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable current year member acuity mix changes and continued CMS program integrity initiatives. The increase in MCR for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 mainly reflects the impact of changes in estimate for prior year risk adjustment premiums, continued CMS program integrity initiatives resulting in unfavorable prior year premium adjustments and the impact of unfavorable current year member acuity mix changes. The MCR is in line with our expectations.
Other
The Other segment includes service revenues and costs associated with long-term services and supports consultative services we provide in Wisconsin, the commercial portion of the business acquired in connection with the ConnectiCare transaction that closed effective February 1, 2025, and certain corporate amounts not allocated to the Medicaid, Medicare, or Marketplace segments. Such amounts were immaterial to our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
LIQUIDITY
We manage our cash, investments, and capital structure to meet the short- and long-term obligations of our business while maintaining liquidity and financial flexibility. We forecast, analyze, and monitor our cash flows to enable prudent investment management and financing within the confines of our financial strategy.
We maintain liquidity at two levels: 1) the regulated health plan subsidiaries; and 2) the parent company.
Our regulated health plan subsidiaries’ primary liquidity requirements include payment of medical claims and other health care services; payment of certain settlements with our state and federal customers, such as minimum medical loss ratio and risk corridors and Marketplace risk transfers on behalf of CMS; general and administrative costs directly incurred or paid through an administrative services agreement to the parent company; and federal tax payments to the parent company under an intercompany tax sharing agreement. Our regulated health plan subsidiaries meet their liquidity needs by generating cash flows from operating activities, primarily from premium revenue; cash flows from investing activities, including investment income and sales of investments; and capital contributions received from our parent company. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the parent company contributed capital in the aggregate amount of $100 million and $130 million, respectively, to our
Molina Healthcare, Inc. September 30, 2026 Form 10-Q | 30
regulated health plan subsidiaries in California, Connecticut, Florida, New Mexico and South Carolina to satisfy statutory capital and surplus requirements.
Our regulated health plan subsidiaries are each subject to applicable state regulations that, among other things, require the maintenance of minimum levels of capital and surplus. We continue to maintain levels of aggregate excess statutory capital and surplus in our regulated health plan subsidiaries that we believe are appropriate. See further discussion under “Regulatory Capital and Dividend Restrictions” below. When available and as permitted by applicable regulations, cash in excess of the capital needs of our regulated health plan subsidiaries is generally paid in the form of dividends to our parent company to be used for general corporate purposes. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the parent company received $185 million and $329 million, respectively, in dividends and return of capital from the regulated health plan subsidiaries. See further discussion of dividends below in “Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity—Future Sources.”
Parent company liquidity requirements generally consist of payment of administrative costs not directly incurred by our regulated operations, including, but not limited to, staffing costs, lease payments, branding and certain information technology services; capital contributions paid to our regulated health plan subsidiaries, including funding for newer health plans; capital expenditures; debt service; funding for common stock purchases, acquisitions and other growth-related activities; and federal tax payments. Our parent company normally meets its liquidity requirements from administrative services fees earned under administrative services agreements; dividends received from our regulated subsidiaries; federal tax payments collected from the regulated subsidiaries; proceeds received from the issuance of debt and equity securities; and cash flows from investing activities, including investment income and sales of investments.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments at the parent company amounted to approximately $608 million and $223 million as of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. The change for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to timing of certain corporate payments, and the net impact of dividends received from, and contributions made to, our regulated health plan subsidiaries.
Investments
After considering expected cash flows from operating activities, we generally invest cash of regulated subsidiaries that exceeds our expected short-term obligations in longer term, investment-grade, and marketable debt securities to improve our overall investment return. These investments are made pursuant to board-approved investment policies which conform to applicable state laws and regulations.
Our investment policies are designed to provide liquidity, preserve capital, and maximize total return on invested assets, all in a manner consistent with state requirements that prescribe the types of instruments in which our subsidiaries may invest. These investment policies require that our investments have final maturities of less than 15 years, or less than 15 years average life for structured securities. Professional portfolio managers operating under documented guidelines manage our investments and a portion of our cash equivalents. Our portfolio managers must obtain our prior approval before selling investments where the loss position of those investments exceeds certain levels.
The overall rating of our portfolio is AA-. Our investment policy has directives in conjunction with state guidelines to minimize risks and exposures in volatile markets. Additionally, our portfolio managers assist us in navigating the current volatility in the capital markets.
Our restricted investments are invested principally in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury securities, and corporate debt securities, and we have the ability to hold such restricted investments until maturity. All of our unrestricted investments are classified as current assets.
Molina Healthcare, Inc. September 30, 2026 Form 10-Q | 31
Cash Flow Activities
Our cash flows are summarized as follows:
| Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||||||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | Change | |||||||||||||||
| (In millions) | |||||||||||||||||
| Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | 629 | $ | (237) | $ | 866 | |||||||||||
| Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities | (328) | 82 | (410) | ||||||||||||||
| Net cash used in financing activities | (31) | (262) | 231 | ||||||||||||||
| Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents | $ | 270 | $ | (417) | $ | 687 | |||||||||||
Operating Activities
We typically receive capitation payments monthly, in advance of payments for medical claims; however, government payors may adjust their payment schedules, positively or negatively impacting our reported cash flows from operating activities in any given period. For example, government payors may delay our premium payments, or they may prepay the following month’s premium payment.
Net cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $629 million, compared with $237 million used in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in cash flow mainly results from a lower magnitude of net government receivable and payable settlements in 2026 compared to 2025, partially offset by the impact of lower net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $328 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $82 million provided in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease in cash flow of $410 million. This change in cash flow reflects the net impact of proceeds and purchases of investments, which amounted to net purchases of $225 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and net proceeds of $410 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Net cash paid in business combinations amounted to $245 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, related to the ConnectiCare acquisition.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $31 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $262 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase in cash flow of $231 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, financing activity included common stock purchases of $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion in combined borrowings under our prior credit facility, partially offset by $360 million in repayment under the prior credit facility. In addition, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, financing cash outflows included $15 million and $37 million, respectively, for common stock withheld to settle employee tax obligations.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
We believe that our cash resources, borrowing capacity available under our Credit Agreement as discussed further below in “Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity—Future Sources,” and internally generated funds will be sufficient to support our operations, regulatory requirements, debt repayment obligations and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.
Our working capital on a consolidated basis was $5.1 billion at both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. At September 30, 2026, our cash and investments amounted to $8.9 billion, compared with $8.6 billion at December 31, 2025. A significant portion of our portfolio is held in cash and cash equivalents, and we do not anticipate the fluctuations in the aggregate fair value of our financial assets to have a material impact on our liquidity or capital position since we intend to hold our securities to maturity. Net unrealized losses on our investments classified as current and available for sale amounted to $125 million at September 30, 2026 compared to net unrealized gains of $20 million at December 31, 2025. We have determined that the unrealized losses primarily resulted from fluctuating interest rates, rather than a deterioration of the creditworthiness of the issuers.
Because of the statutory restrictions that inhibit the ability of our health plan subsidiaries to transfer net assets to us, the amount of retained earnings readily available to pay dividends to our stockholders is generally limited to cash, cash equivalents and investments held by our unregulated parent. For more information, see the “Liquidity” discussion presented above.

Each of our regulated, wholly owned subsidiaries must maintain a minimum amount of statutory capital determined by statute or regulations. Such statutes, regulations and capital requirements also restrict the timing, payment and amount of dividends and other distributions, loans or advances that may be paid to us as the sole stockholder. To the extent our subsidiaries must comply with these regulations, they may not have the financial flexibility to transfer funds to us. Based upon current statutes and regulations, the minimum capital and surplus requirement for these subsidiaries was estimated to be approximately $3.0 billion at September 30, 2026 and $3.1 billion at December 31, 2025. The aggregate capital and surplus of our wholly owned subsidiaries was in excess of these minimum capital requirements as of both dates.
Under applicable regulatory requirements, the amount of dividends that may be paid by our wholly owned subsidiaries without prior approval by regulatory authorities as of September 30, 2026, was approximately $170 million in the aggregate. The subsidiaries may pay dividends over this amount, but only after approval is granted by the regulatory authorities.
Based on our cash and investments balances as of September 30, 2026, management believes that our regulated, wholly owned subsidiaries remain well capitalized and exceed their regulatory minimum requirements. We have the ability, and have committed, to provide additional capital to each of our health plans as necessary to ensure compliance with minimum statutory capital requirements, including new state contract wins and growth in existing states.
Debt Ratings
In April 2026, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) lowered the rating of our senior notes to “BB-” from “BB”. Our senior notes are currently rated “Ba2” by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. The S&P downgrade could adversely affect our borrowing capacity and increase our borrowing costs.
Financial Covenants
Our Credit Agreement contains customary non-financial and financial covenants, including a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Total Debt to Capital Ratio. Such ratios are computed as defined by the terms of the Credit Agreement.
In addition, the indentures governing each of our outstanding senior notes contain cross-default provisions that are triggered upon default by us or any of our subsidiaries on any indebtedness in excess of the amount specified in the applicable indenture. As of September 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants under the Credit Agreement and other long-term debt.
FUTURE SOURCES AND USES OF LIQUIDITY
Future Sources
Our regulated subsidiaries generate significant cash flows from premium revenue, which is generally received a short time before related healthcare services are paid. Premium revenue is our primary source of liquidity. Thus, any decline in the receipt of premium revenue, and our profitability, could have a negative impact on our liquidity.
Dividends from Subsidiaries. When available and as permitted by applicable regulations, cash in excess of the capital needs of our regulated health plans is generally paid in the form of dividends to our unregulated parent company to be used for general corporate purposes.
Credit Agreement Borrowing Capacity. We are party to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) of $1.25 billion, with a lending commitment termination date of November 20, 2030. The Credit Agreement also provides for a $15 million swingline sub-facility and a $100 million letter of credit sub-facility, as well as incremental term loans available to finance certain acquisitions up to $800 million. As of September 30, 2026, we had available borrowing capacity of $1.25 billion under the Credit Facility. See further discussion in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 7, “Debt.”
Future Uses
Common Stock Purchases. In April 2025, our board of directors authorized the purchase of up to an additional $1 billion of our common stock. This new program extends through December 31, 2026. The exact timing and amount of any share repurchases shall be determined by management, in consultation with the Finance Committee of the Board, based on market conditions and share price, in addition to other factors, and repurchases generally will be made in accordance with the volume, price, and timing parameters under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange
Molina Healthcare, Inc. September 30, 2026 Form 10-Q | 33
Act. As of October 16, 2026, $500 million remained available to purchase our common stock under this program through December 31, 2026.
Acquisitions. We have a disciplined and steady approach to growth. Organic growth, which includes leveraging our existing health plan portfolio and winning new territories, is our highest priority. In addition to organic growth, we will consider targeted acquisitions that are a strategic fit that we believe will leverage operational synergies, and lead to incremental earnings accretion.
Regulatory Capital Requirements and Dividend Restrictions. We have the ability, and have committed, to provide additional capital to each of our health plans as necessary to ensure compliance with minimum statutory capital requirements, including new state contract wins and growth in existing states.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
A summary of future obligations under our various contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2025 was disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
There were no significant changes to our contractual obligations and commitments not otherwise disclosed or outside the ordinary course of business during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
When we prepare our consolidated financial statements, we use estimates and assumptions that may affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and some differences could be material. Our most significant accounting estimates, which include a higher degree of judgment and/or complexity, include the following:
•Medical costs, claims and benefits payable. Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 6, “Medical Claims and Benefits Payable,” for a table that presents the components of the change in medical claims and benefits payable, and for additional information regarding the factors used to determine our changes in estimates for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Other than the discussion as noted above, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 there were no significant changes to our disclosure reported in “Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
•Premium Revenue Recognition and Amounts Due Government Agencies: Risk Adjustment. For a discussion of this topic, including amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements, refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies.”
•Business Combinations, and Goodwill and intangible assets, net. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, there were no significant changes to our disclosure reported in “Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our earnings and financial position are exposed to financial market risk relating to changes in interest rates, and the resulting impact on investment income and interest expense.
Substantially all of our investments and restricted investments are subject to interest rate risk and will decrease in value if market interest rates increase. Assuming a hypothetical and immediate 1% increase in market interest rates at September 30, 2026, the fair value of our fixed income investments would decrease by approximately $122 million. Declines in interest rates over time will reduce our investment income.
For further information on fair value measurements and our investment portfolio, please refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements,” and Note 5, “Investments.”
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest based, at our election, on a base rate or other defined rate, plus in each case, the applicable margin. Our notes bear interest at specified rates, each payable semiannually in arrears. For further information, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 7, “Debt.”

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
