Cautionary Statement
Cautionary Statement
All statements in this presentation, other than statements of historical information provided herein, may be deemed
to be forward-looking statements and as such are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These statements
are based on management’s analysis, judgment, belief and expectation only as of the date
hereof, and are subject to
uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Without limiting the foregoing, statements including 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, any
failure to close the pending sale of our Northeast business; costs, fees and expenses related to the pending sale and
proposed post-closing administrative services; potential termination of our TRICARE North operations; rising health
care costs; a continued decline in the economy; negative prior period claims reserve developments; investment
portfolio impairment charges; volatility in the financial markets; trends in medical care ratios; unexpected utilization
patterns or unexpectedly severe or widespread illnesses; membership declines; rate cuts affecting our Medicare or
Medicaid businesses; litigation costs; regulatory issues; operational issues; health care reform; and general business
and market 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 most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K, subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and the
risks discussed in the company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise
any of its forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise
after the date of this presentation.

Non-GAAP Measures
Non-GAAP Measures
This presentation includes quarterly income statement
measurements that are not calculated and presented in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Audience participants should refer to the reconciliation table
available in the company’s third quarter 2009 earnings press
release, available on the company’s Web site at
www.healthnet.com,
which
reconciles
certain
non-GAAP
financial information to GAAP financial information.
Management believes that the non-GAAP financial information
discussed in this presentation is useful as it provides the

excluding items that are not indicative of our core operating
results for the periods presented.
