diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2007. In addition, a gain in the first quarter of
2006 of $51.7 million pretax, or $0.19 per diluted common share, from the sale of a venture capital
investment also impacted year over year comparisons.
Cash flows from operations decreased $462.4 million to $1,224.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2007 compared to $1,686.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Our operating
cash flows were unfavorably impacted by the Part D provisions of our Medicare contracts, primarily the
2007 payment of the $725.5 million risk corridor payable to CMS associated with the 2006 contract
year, partially offset by improvement in operating earnings.
In September 2007, we received approval from CMS to resume marketing of individual Medicare PFFS
plans. This announcement ended the June 15, 2007 voluntary suspension agreed to in conjunction with
other industry participants.
In October 2007, we were awarded the Department of Veterans Affairs first specialty network
demonstration project, known as Project HERO (Healthcare Effectiveness through Resource
Optimization), to support healthcare delivery to veterans.
Currently, we are anticipating a formal request for proposal, or RFP, for the TRICARE contracts.
We intend for the discussion of our financial condition and results of operations that follows to assist in the
understanding of our financial statements and related changes in certain key items in those financial statements
from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain critical
accounting principles and estimates impact our financial statements.
