Financials Breakdown Chart

Key Financial Trends

Below are key takeaways from Centene (NYSE: CNC) quarterly statements over the last several years, focused on trends in income, cash flow, and the balance sheet. The bullets are ordered with positives first, neutrals second, and negatives last.

  • Revenue momentum: In 2025, Centene’s quarterly revenue remained strong and trending higher. Q4 2025 operating revenue was $49,725,000,000, up from $40,805,000,000 in Q4 2024. The quarterly totals for 2025 were roughly $46.62B (Q1), $48.74B (Q2), and $49.69B (Q3), before the Q4 print.
  • Positive operating cash flow across 2025: Net cash from continuing operating activities was positive in all four 2025 quarters, indicating ongoing cash generation from core operations (example quarters around mid-to-high hundreds of millions to low billions in several periods).
  • Solid near‑term liquidity: As of 9/30/2025, Centene held about $17.1B in cash & equivalents. Total current assets were $44.1B vs. total current liabilities of $40.6B, yielding roughly $3.5B of working capital.
  • Gross margin remains very high: The gross margin in 2025 runs in the high 90s. For example, Q4 2025 shows gross profit of $49.045B on revenue of $49.725B, and Q3 2025 shows gross profit of $49.039B on revenue of $49.69B.
  • Balance sheet leverage and asset base: Long‑term debt is in the low‑to‑mid teens of billions (around $17.5B in mid‑2025), with total liabilities around $61B and total equity near $21B. Total assets sit in the $82B–$86B range across the 2025 period, reflecting a large asset base to support operations.
  • Significant non-operating costs and impairments: The company incurred substantial non‑operating charges and impairment costs in 2025 (for example, impairment charges in Q3 2025 around $6.74B and in Q4 2025 around $0.513B; plus large Other Operating Expenses lines in the tens of billions across recent periods). These items heavily affect reported profitability despite strong top‑line results.
  • Net income and earnings per share: Net income attributable to common shareholders was negative in every 2025 quarter (Q1: about -$1.10B; Q2: about -$2.53B; Q3: about -$6.63B; Q4: about -$1.10B). Corresponding basic/diluted EPS were consistently negative in 2025 (e.g., Q3 2025 diluted EPS around -$13.50, Q4 2025 around -$2.16).
  • Earnings quality pressured by non‑operating items: The sizable non‑operating expenses (Other Operating Expenses) and impairment charges mean the operating performance is much improved versus reported net income, but earnings quality remains a concern for 2025.
  • Impairments and one‑offs: Impairment charges were material in 2025 (Q3 ~$6.74B; Q4 ~$0.513B), contributing to variability in quarterly results and signaling potential ongoing measurement risk in asset values.
  • : Net change in cash and equivalents swung across quarters (e.g., Q3 2025 +$2.586B; Q4 2025 +$0.910B; Q2 2025 −$0.288B), highlighting near‑term volatility in financing/investing decisions and cash balance trajectory.
