(1) All amounts are estimates and subject to change. Computation assumes
50 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
(2) Adjusted net income per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial
measure used by management as a supplemental metric in evaluating its
financial performance, its financing and business decisions, and in
forecasting and planning for future periods. This measure is not
determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be viewed as a
substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is
diluted net income per share.

implementing regulations, the King v. Burwell case now pending before
the Supreme Court, and uncertainties regarding the Medicare-Medicaid
dual eligible demonstration programs in California, Illinois,
Michigan, Ohio, and South Carolina;
-
management of our medical costs, including seasonal flu patterns
and rates of utilization that are consistent with our expectations,
and our ability to reduce over time the high medical costs commonly
associated with new patient populations;

federal or state medical cost expenditure floors, administrative
cost and profit ceilings, and profit sharing arrangements;
-
the interpretation and implementation of at-risk premium revenue
recognition rules regarding the achievement of certain quality

potential inability to maintain current rates, to implement expected
rate increases, or to maintain existing benefit packages or membership
eligibility thresholds or criteria;

the accurate estimation of incurred but not paid medical costs
across our health plans;
-
retroactive adjustments to premium revenue or accounting estimates
which require adjustment based upon subsequent developments, including
Medicaid pharmaceutical rebates or retroactive premium rate increases;

efforts by states to recoup previously paid amounts;

and to obtain new government contracts in connection with state
requests for proposals (RFPs) in both existing and new states,

New Jersey;

our health plans and Molina Medicaid Solutions and the terms under

government audits and reviews, and any fine, enrollment freeze, or
monitoring program that may result therefrom;

providers;

or administrative proceedings, including pending qui tam actions in
Florida and California, and the litigation commenced against us by the
state of Louisiana alleging that Molina Medicaid Solutions and its
predecessors used an incorrect reimbursement formula for the payment
of pharmaceutical claims;
-
the relatively small number of states in which we operate health
plans;
-
our management of a portion of College Health Enterprises' hospital
in Long Beach, California;
-
the availability of adequate financing on acceptable terms to fund
and capitalize our expansion and growth, repay our outstanding
indebtedness at maturity and meet our liquidity needs, including the
interest expense and other costs associated with such financing;
-
the failure of a state in which we operate to renew its federal
Medicaid waiver;

changes generally affecting the managed care or Medicaid management
information systems industries;
-
increases in government surcharges, taxes, and assessments;
-
public alarm associated with the Ebola virus, measles, or any
actual widespread epidemic;

rates;
