Adjusted Earnings per Share2	1.32	0.72	83.3%	4.04	4.58	(11.8)%

Fourth quarter revenue decreased primarily from the loss of revenues associated with terminated contracts, partially offset by new business, same store growth and rate increases, the impact of Health Insurer Fee revenues, and the inclusion of revenues from CDMI.
Fourth quarter segment profit increased mainly due to stronger results in the Pharmacy Management and Commercial segments. Fourth quarter results include approximately $20 million of favorable out-of-period items, of which approximately $15 million was in the Public Sector segment.
Fourth quarter net income, earnings per share, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share increased mainly due to segment profit, offset by a higher effective tax rate resulting from the non-deductibility of Health Insurer Fees, and increased valuation allowances in the current year for certain deferred tax assets.

1 Included in the tables issued with this press release are the reconciliations from the three non-GAAP measures discussed above to the corresponding GAAP measures.

2 Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share reflect certain adjustments made for acquisitions completed after January 1, 2013 to exclude non-cash stock compensation expense resulting from restricted stock purchases by sellers, as well as amortization of identified acquisition intangibles and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration recorded in relation to acquisitions.

3 Segment profit is equal to net revenues less the sum of cost of care, cost of goods sold, direct service costs and other operating expenses, and includes income from unconsolidated subsidiaries, but excludes segment profit or loss from non-controlling interests held by other parties, as well as stock compensation expense and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration recorded in relation to acquisitions.

As of December 31, 2014, the company had unrestricted cash and investments of $346.9 million.

"2014 was an important year for Magellan," said Barry M. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer of Magellan Health. "We continued to innovate in products and services for special populations. At the same time, we achieved growth as a whole and across our business units, with significant progress made in Magellan Complete Care and Magellan Rx Management."

"I am pleased with our accomplishments and the unique set of capabilities we have brought to the marketplace. We offer meaningful solutions that address challenges faced by our members and customers, while helping individuals navigate the complex healthcare system."

Results and Outlook

"Magellan posted strong financial results in 2014, particularly in our Commercial and Pharmacy Management segments," said Jonathan N. Rubin, chief financial officer. "The pipeline of opportunities for 2015 and 2016 is strong across all market segments, and we continue to see interest in both our traditional and new products. Additionally, with the growth we achieved this year, our pharmacy business, with product lines comprising a full-service PBM, generated over a billion dollars of revenue and over $100 million of segment profit in 2014."

"Relative to 2015, we are maintaining the ranges discussed in our December guidance call for net revenue in the range of $4.25 billion to $4.49 billion, net income of $51 million to $67 million, adjusted net income of $88 million to $100 million, and segment profit of $265 million to $285 million. We are also maintaining our guidance for cash flow from operations in the range of $171 million to $195 million. Taking into account the impact of share repurchase activity through February 23, 2015, but not considering any potential future share repurchases, our guidance range for fully diluted EPS is estimated to be $1.93 to $2.54 and for fully diluted adjusted EPS of $3.33 to $3.79. These EPS ranges are based on 26.4 million average fully diluted shares."
