The following is an investor update presentation in connection with Centene Corporation’s proposed acquisition of WellCare Health Plans, Inc.
Investor Update May 2019
Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking StatementsAll statements, other than statements of current or historical fact, contained in this communication are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, forward-looking statements often use words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “seek,” “target,” “goal,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “can,” “continue” and other similar words or expressions (and the negative thereof). In particular, these statements include, without limitation, statements about Centene’s future operating or financial performance, market opportunity, growth strategy, competition, expected activities in completed and future acquisitions, including statements about the impact of Centene’s proposed acquisition of WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (the “WellCare Transaction”), Centene’s recent acquisition (the “Fidelis Care Transaction”) of substantially all the assets of New York State Catholic Health Plan, Inc., d/b/a Fidelis Care New York (“Fidelis Care”), investments and the adequacy of Centene’s available cash resources. These forward-looking statements reflect Centene’s current views with respect to future events and are based on numerous assumptions and assessments made by us in light of Centene’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, business strategies, operating environments, future developments and other factors Centene believes appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are subject to change because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future, including economic, regulatory, competitive and other factors that may cause Centene’s or its industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. All forward-looking statements included in this filing are based on information available to us on the date of this communication. Except as may be otherwise required by law, Centene undertakes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements included in this communication, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this filing. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, as actual results may differ materially from projections, estimates, or other forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, variables and events including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the risk that regulatory or other approvals required for the WellCare Transaction may be delayed or not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated that could require the exertion of management’s time and Centene’s resources or otherwise have an adverse effect on Centene; (ii) the risk that Centene’s stockholders do not approve the issuance of shares of Centene common stock in the WellCare Transaction; (iii) the risk that WellCare’s stockholders do not adopt the merger agreement; (iv) the possibility that certain conditions to the consummation of the WellCare Transaction will not be satisfied or completed on a timely basis and accordingly the WellCare Transaction may not be consummated on a timely basis or at all; (v) uncertainty as to the expected financial performance of the combined company following completion of the WellCare Transaction; (vi) the possibility that the expected synergies and value creation from the WellCare Transaction will not be realized, or will not be realized within the expected time period; (vii) the exertion of management’s time and Centene’s resources, and other expenses incurred and business changes required, in connection with complying with the undertakings in connection with any regulatory, governmental or third party consents or approvals for the WellCare Transaction; (viii) the risk that unexpected costs will be incurred in connection with the completion and/or integration of the WellCare Transaction or that the integration of WellCare will be more difficult or time consuming than expected; (ix) the risk that potential litigation in connection with the WellCare Transaction may affect the timing or occurrence of the WellCare Transaction or result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability; (x) a downgrade of the credit rating of Centene’s indebtedness, which could give rise to an obligation to redeem existing indebtedness; (xi) unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the WellCare Transaction; (xii) the possibility that competing offers will be made to acquire WellCare; (xiii) the inability to retain key personnel; (xiv) disruption from the announcement, pendency and/or completion of the WellCare Transaction, including potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships with customers, employees, suppliers or regulators, making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; and (xv) the risk that, following the WellCare Transaction, the combined company may not be able to effectively manage its expanded operations. Additional factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from projections, estimates, or other forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) Centene’s ability to accurately predict and effectively manage health benefits and other operating expenses and reserves; (ii) competition; (iii) membership and revenue declines or unexpected trends; (iv) changes in healthcare practices, new technologies, and advances in medicine; (v) increased healthcare costs, (vi) changes in economic, political or market conditions; (vii) changes in federal or state laws or regulations, including changes with respect to income tax reform or government healthcare programs as well as changes with respect to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act, collectively referred to as the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), and any regulations enacted thereunder that may result from changing political conditions or judicial actions, including the ultimate outcome of the District Court decision in “Texas v. United States of America” regarding the constitutionality of the ACA; (viii) rate cuts or other payment reductions or delays by governmental payors and other risks and uncertainties affecting Centene’s government businesses; (ix) Centene’s ability to adequately price products on federally facilitated and state-based Health Insurance Marketplaces; (x) tax matters; (xi) disasters or major epidemics; (xii) the outcome of legal and regulatory proceedings; (xiii) changes in expected contract start dates; (xiv) provider, state, federal and other contract changes and timing of regulatory approval of contracts; (xv) the expiration, suspension, or termination of Centene’s contracts with federal or state governments (including but not limited to Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE or other customers); (xvi) the difficulty of predicting the timing or outcome of pending or future litigation or government investigations; (xvii) challenges to Centene’s contract awards; (xviii) cyber-attacks or other privacy or data security incidents; (xix) the possibility that the expected synergies and value creation from acquired businesses, including, without limitation, the Fidelis Care Transaction, will not be realized, or will not be realized within the expected time period; (xx) the exertion of management’s time and Centene’s resources, and other expenses incurred and business changes required in connection with complying with the undertakings in connection with any regulatory, governmental or third party consents or approvals for acquisitions, including the Fidelis Care Transaction; (xxi) disruption caused by significant completed and pending acquisitions, including, among others, the Fidelis Care Transaction, making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; (xxii) the risk that unexpected costs will be incurred in connection with the completion and/or integration of acquisition transactions, including, among others, the Fidelis Care Transaction; (xxiii) changes in expected closing dates, estimated purchase price and accretion for acquisitions; (xxiv) the risk that acquired businesses, including Fidelis Care, will not be integrated successfully; (xxv) the risk that, following the Fidelis Care Transaction, Centene may not be able to effectively manage its expanded operations; (xxvi) restrictions and limitations in connection with Centene’s indebtedness; (xxvii) Centene’s ability to maintain the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Star ratings and maintain or achieve improvement in other quality scores in each case that can impact revenue and future growth; (xxviii) availability of debt and equity financing, on terms that are favorable to us; (xxxix) inflation; and (xxx) foreign currency fluctuations.
This list of important factors is not intended to be exhaustive.

Due to these important factors and risks, Centene cannot give assurances with respect to Centene’s future performance, including without limitation Centene’s ability to maintain adequate premium levels or Centene’s ability to control its future medical and selling, general and administrative costs.Important Additional Information and Where to Find ItIn connection with the WellCare Transaction, on May 3, 2019, Centene filed with the SEC the Registration Statement, which included a prospectus with respect to the shares of Centene’s common stock to be issued in the WellCare Transaction and a joint proxy statement for Centene’s and WellCare’s respective stockholders (the “Joint Proxy Statement”).

Research Community is Positive on Combination 32 “We think the combination makes sense strategically and financially and is directionally consistent with historical deal comps. We see upside to projections for the deal to be "minimally dilutive" in year 1 and mid-to-high single-digit accretive in year 2…” March 27th “The combined company brings clout to the market… We expect the company to benefit from enhanced scale in medical management in local markets and administrative savings. Furthermore, we expect to see growth in ancillary businesses across the larger footprint…” March 27th “Following its Health Net and Fidelis acquisitions, Centene should benefit from multi-year synergy opportunities and a more diversified product offering, which take the company to the next level. As a result, we believe Centene will continue to boast strong revenue and earnings growth prospects for years to come…” March 28th “There are a lot of positive catalysts coming up where CNC and WCG could gain share on RFPs…” March 27th “We have greater confidence in CNC's $500M synergy target and we are optimistic about the potential for upside given the conservatism embedded in the company's estimate…” April 23rd “…The deal also continues to diversify CNC’s business mix, particularly in MA/PDP, which would increase to 15% of the combined company’s revenue (vs 8% of CNC standalone)…Pharmacy also represents an opportunity, as the combined company will have ~$30B in pharmacy spend, which significantly expands the scale of CNC’s new PBM business…” May 10th “We remain bullish on the pending acquisition of WellCare and view the tie-up as a powerful combination. In addition, CNC remains firmly committed to the deal, integration planning is ongoing, we continue to view the company as a buyer not a seller and see clear challenges with the concept of a hostile…” “First, the merger materially accelerates CNC's long-term strategy to advance its position in the Medicare market …Second, the combination serves to ease some of the concerns around near-term Medicaid re-procurement risks as the merger significantly expands CNC's already number one market position …” May 10th May 9th
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures ($ in millions) Included in this presentation is Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results and enhances the ability of investors to analyze Centene’s business trends and performance. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for the corresponding GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP follows. The Company cannot provide a reconciliation of certain forecasted non-GAAP metrics without unreasonable efforts. As such, they have been excluded from the reconciliation below. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings attributable to Centene before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization (excluding senior note premium amortization), and non-cash stock compensation expense that we believe are not indicative of future performance. 33
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures ($ in millions) Included in this presentation is Adjusted Diluted EPS. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results and enhances the ability of investors to analyze Centene’s business trends and performance. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for the corresponding GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP follows: Other adjustments include the following items: 2018 - the impact of retroactive changes to the California minimum medical loss ratio (MLR) of $30 million of expense or $0.06 per diluted share, net of an income tax benefit of $0.02; 2017 - (a) the Penn Treaty assessment expense of $56 million or $0.10 per diluted share, net of an income tax benefit of $0.06; (b) the cost sharing reduction (CSR) expense of $22 million or $0.04 per diluted share, net of an income tax benefit of $0.02; (c) the charitable contribution commitment of $40 million or $0.07 per diluted share, net of an income tax benefit of $0.05; and (d) the benefit associated with income tax reform of $125 million or $0.35 per diluted share; and 2016 – (a) the impact of retroactive changes to the California minimum medical loss ratio (MLR) of a $195 million benefit or $0.38 per diluted share, net of an income tax expense of $0.21; (b) the charitable contribution commitment of $50 million or $0.09 per diluted share, net of an income tax benefit of $0.06; and (c) the debt extinguishment cost of $11 million or $0.02 per diluted share, net of an income tax benefit of $0.01.
