Summary
Centene Corporation (CNC) filed an 8-K on February 7, 2012, to announce its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011. The key information is contained within an attached press release (Exhibit 99.1), which serves as the primary source for investor insights regarding the company's performance.

Investors should review the press release (Exhibit 99.1) for specific details on revenue, earnings per share, and other critical financial metrics for the periods discussed. While the 8-K itself is brief and primarily serves as a notification and attachment vehicle, the financial results detailed in the press release are essential for understanding Centene's operational and financial condition as of year-end 2011 and its outlook going forward.
