Summary
Centene Corporation (CNC) filed an 8-K on February 7, 2017, to announce its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016. The core of this filing is the press release (Exhibit 99.1) detailing these results, which provides investors with the company's performance metrics for the period. While the 8-K itself is brief, focusing primarily on referencing the press release, the attached exhibit is the crucial document for understanding Centene's financial standing and operational outcomes at the close of 2016. Investors should refer to Exhibit 99.1 for specific revenue, earnings, and other key financial data. It is important to note that the information provided in this Form 8-K and its attached press release are furnished and not officially "filed" under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This means they are not subject to the liabilities associated with Section 18, and unless specifically incorporated by reference into another filing, they will not be deemed part of any future registration statements or reports filed with the SEC. Therefore, investors should treat the data as forward-looking information and consider it within the context of all available SEC filings.
