Item 8.01. Other Matters

Magellan Health, Inc. (the “Company”) and a customer in its Pharmacy Management segment have mutually agreed to the early termination of most of the services under a pharmacy benefit management (“PBM”) contract, effective September 1, 2016.  The customer recently entered into a strategic partnership with another entity, and these two parties desired to consolidate services under the partner entity’s preferred partner.  The Company provided traditional PBM services and certain specialty drug formulary managment services for this customer.  The PBM services portion of the contract had a termination date of December 31, 2016. The Company is in discussions with the customer related to the remaining specialty drug formulary management services under the contract, as well as potentially providing new specialty drug management services to the customer.  For the year ended December 31, 2015 and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had revenues of $324.8 million and $194.0 million, respectively, from this customer, of which the vast majority reflects drug acquisition cost related to PBM services.  Due to the nature of the population covered, the PBM contract generated a margin that is lower than the Company’s average margin for PBM contracts, and the termination is not expected to impact the Company’s 2016 guidance.

Cautionary Statement

This 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “estimate,” “intend” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially due to, among other things, the possible election of certain of the company’s customers to manage the healthcare services of their members directly; changes in rates paid to and/or by the company by customers and/or providers; higher utilization of health care services by the company’s risk members; delays, higher costs or inability to implement new business or other company initiatives; the impact of changes in the contracting model for Medicaid contracts; termination or non-renewal of customer contracts; the impact of new or amended laws or regulations; governmental inquiries; litigation; competition; operational issues; health care reform; and general business conditions. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risks discussed in the “Risk Factors” section included within the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2016, and the company’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed during 2016.
