Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 18, 2013, UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its first quarter 2013 results. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
The press release contains first quarter 2012 adjusted cash flows from operating activities, a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services premium payment for April 2012 that the Company received in March 2012.
The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to this non-GAAP measure is first quarter 2012 cash flows from operating activities, which was $3.6 billion.
Adjusted cash flows from operating activities should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures improves the comparability of the Company's results between periods. This financial measure provides investors and the Company's management with useful information to measure and forecast the Company's results of operations, to compare on a consistent basis the Company's results of operations for the current period to that of prior periods, and to compare the Company's results of operations on a more consistent basis against that of other companies in the health care industry.
This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the special items associated with the operations of the Company's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, one should not consider this measure in isolation. The Company compensates for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as non-GAAP basis, disclosing these GAAP financial measures, and providing a reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.
The information in this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
