Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CVS Health Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively "CVS Health" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. In accordance with such rules and regulations, certain information and accompanying note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in Exhibit 13 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 ("2014 Form 10-K").

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Because of the influence of various factors on the Company's operations, including business combinations, certain holidays and other seasonal influences, net income for any interim period may not be comparable to the same interim period in previous years or necessarily indicative of income for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company continually evaluates its investments to determine if they represent variable interests in a VIE. If the Company determines that it has a variable interest in a VIE, the Company then evaluates if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The evaluation is a qualitative assessment as to whether the Company has the ability to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. The Company consolidates a VIE if it is considered to be the primary beneficiary.

Assets and liabilities of VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary were not significant to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. VIE creditors do not have recourse against the general credit of the Company.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes the three-level valuation hierarchy for the recognition and disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization of assets and liabilities within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy consist of the following:

As of September 30, 2015 , the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value due to the nature of these financial instruments. The Company invests in money

market funds, commercial paper and time deposits that are classified as cash and cash equivalents within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, as these funds are highly liquid and readily convertible to known amounts of cash. These investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The Company's short-term investments of $121 million at September 30, 2015 , consist of certificates of deposit with initial maturities of greater than three months when purchased that mature within one year from the balance sheet date. These investments, which are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, are carried at fair value, which approximated historical cost at September 30, 2015 . The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's total long-term debt was $27.2 billion and $28.5 billion , respectively, as of September 30, 2015. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt was estimated based on quoted prices currently offered in active markets for the Company's debt, which is considered Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Related Party Transactions

The Company has an equity method investment in SureScripts, LLC ("SureScripts"), which operates a clinical health information network. The Pharmacy Services and Retail/LTC segments utilize this clinical health information network in providing services to client plan members and retail customers. The Company expensed fees of approximately $16 million and $7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $37 million and $34 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, for the use of this network.

The Company's investment in SureScripts, and equity in earnings in SureScripts, for all periods presented is immaterial.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new guidance is expected to be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning January 1, 2018; early adoption in 2017 is permitted. Companies have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt the guidance. This update could impact the timing and amounts of revenue recognized. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of this update will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations upon adoption, as well as the method of transition and required disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (Topic 835-30). ASU No. 2015-03 requires the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of such costs is reported as interest expense, which is consistent with the Company's current policy. This change conforms the presentation of debt issuance costs with that of debt discounts. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption is permitted. The guidance is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods. The Company has early adopted this standard as of June 30, 2015. The effect of the adoption of ASU 2015-03 on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet is a reduction of noncurrent assets and long-term debt of $65 million as of December 31, 2014. The following is a reconciliation of the effect of this reclassification on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014:

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments . ASU No. 2015-16 requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period after an acquisition within the reporting period they are determined. This is a change from the previous requirement that the adjustments be recorded retrospectively. The ASU also requires disclosure of the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization or other income effects, if any, as a result of the adjustment to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including

interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption is permitted. The Company has early adopted the ASU as of September 30, 2015. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company changed its methods of accounting for "front store" inventories in the Retail/LTC Segment. Prior to 2015, the Company valued front store inventories at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis in retail stores using the retail inventory method and in distribution centers using the FIFO cost method. Effective January 1, 2015, all front store inventories in the Retail/LTC Segment have been valued at the lower of cost or market using the weighted average cost method. These changes affected approximately 36% of consolidated inventories.

These changes were made primarily to provide the Company with better information to manage its retail front store operations and to bring all of the Company's inventories to a common inventory valuation methodology. The Company believes the weighted average cost method is preferable to the retail inventory method and the FIFO cost method because it results in greater precision in the determination of cost of revenues and inventories at the stock keeping unit ("SKU") level and results in a consistent inventory valuation method for all of the Company's inventories as all of the Company's remaining inventories, which consist of prescription drugs, were already being valued using the weighted average cost method.

The Company recorded the cumulative effect of these changes in accounting principle as of January 1, 2015. The Company determined that retrospective application for periods prior to 2015 is impracticable, as the period-specific information necessary to value front store inventories in the Retail/LTC Segment under the weighted average cost method is unavailable. The Company implemented a new perpetual inventory system to manage front store inventory at the SKU level and valued front store inventory as of January 1, 2015 and calculated the cumulative impact. The effect of these changes in accounting principle as of January 1, 2015, was a decrease in inventories of $7 million , an increase in current deferred income tax assets of $3 million and a decrease in retained earnings of $4 million .

Had the Company not made these changes in accounting principle, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, income from continuing operations would have been lower by $2 million and $10 million , respectively. Basic earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to CVS Health for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to CVS Health for the three months ended September 30, 2015, would have been the same as reported. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to CVS Health would have been approximately $0.01 per share lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Omnicare Acquisition

On August 18, 2015 , the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares and voting interests of Omnicare, Inc. ("Omnicare"), for $98 per share for a total of $9.6 billion and assumed long-term debt with a fair value of approximately $3.1 billion . Additionally, holders of Omnicare restricted stock units and performance based restricted stock units received 738,765 CVS Health Corporation restricted stock awards with a fair value of approximately $80 million as replacement awards. Omnicare is a leading health care services company that specializes in the management of complex pharmaceutical care. Omnicare's long-term care ("LTC") business is the nation's largest provider of pharmaceuticals, related pharmacy consulting and other ancillary services to chronic care facilities and other care settings. In addition, Omnicare has a specialty pharmacy business operating under the name of Advanced Care Scripts ® , and provides commercialization services operating under the name of RxCrossroads ® . The Company will include LTC and the commercialization services in its former Retail Pharmacy Segment, which has been renamed the "Retail/LTC Segment," and will include the specialty pharmacy business in its Pharmacy Services Segment. The Company acquired Omnicare to expand its operations in dispensing prescription drugs to assisted-living and long-term care facilities, and to broaden its presence in the specialty pharmacy business as the Company seeks to serve a greater percentage of the growing senior patient population in the United States.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

The assessment of fair value is preliminary and is based on information that was available to management at the time the condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared. Accordingly, such amounts may change. The most significant open items included the accounting for deferred income taxes and contingencies as management is awaiting additional information to complete its assessment of these matters. The goodwill represents future economic benefits expected to arise from the Company's expanded presence in the pharmaceutical care market, the assembled workforce acquired, expected purchasing and revenue synergies, as well as operating efficiencies and cost savings. Goodwill of $8.6 billion was allocated to the Retail/LTC Segment and the remaining goodwill of $0.4 billion was allocated to the Pharmacy Services Segment. Approximately $0.4 billion of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. Intangible assets acquired include customer relationships and trade names of $3.9 billion and $74 million , respectively, with estimated weighted average useful lives of 19.1 and 2.9 years, respectively, and 18.8 years in total.

The fair value of trade accounts receivable acquired is $600 million , with the gross contractual amount being $857 million . The Company expects $257 million of trade accounts receivable to be uncollectible. The fair value of other receivables acquired is $147 million , with the gross contractual amount being $161 million . The Company expects $14 million of other receivables to be uncollectible.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred transaction costs of $52 million and $68 million , respectively, associated with the acquisition of Omnicare that were recorded within operating expenses.

The Company's consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, include $710 million of revenue and a net loss of $3 million associated with the operating results of Omnicare from August 18, 2015 to September 30, 2015. These Omnicare operating results include severance costs and accelerated stock-based compensation.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of the Company's combined results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 as if the Omnicare acquisition and the related financing transactions had occurred on January 1, 2014. The following pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the transactions been effected on the assumed date, nor is it necessarily an indication of trends in future results for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma information, basic shares outstanding and dilutive equivalents, cost savings from operating efficiencies, potential synergies, and the impact of incremental costs incurred in integrating the businesses.

Pro forma income from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, excludes $113 million and $129 million , respectively, related to severance costs, accelerated stock-based compensation and transaction costs incurred in connection with the Omnicare acquisition. Pro forma income from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, includes a $521 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt recorded by CVS Health.

Proposed Target Pharmacy Asset Acquisition

On June 12, 2015, CVS Pharmacy, Inc. ("CVS Pharmacy"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CVS Health, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Target Corporation ("Target") pursuant to which Target agreed to sell its pharmacy and clinic businesses to CVS Pharmacy (the "Target Pharmacy Acquisition"). The purchase price is $1.887 billion , payable in cash at closing and is subject to certain adjustments. The timing of the closing is uncertain, and is subject to receipt of regulatory approval and other customary conditions.

Goodwill and indefinitely-lived trade names are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment reviews, or more frequent reviews if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company performed its required annual impairment tests and concluded there was no impairment of goodwill or trade names. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful life.

Below is a summary of the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2015:

(1) "Other" represents immaterial purchase accounting adjustments for acquisitions.

The increase in goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily relates to the Omnicare acquisition.

The following is a summary of the Company's intangible assets as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which have a weighted average useful life of 15.6 years. The weighted average useful lives of the Company's customer contracts and relationships and covenants not to compete are 15.6 years. The amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $160 million and $419 million , respectively. The amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $126 million and $391 million , respectively.

The following table is a summary of the Company's borrowings as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

On May 20, 2015, in connection with the acquisition of Omnicare, the Company entered into a $13 billion unsecured bridge loan facility. The Company paid approximately $52 million in fees in connection with the facility. The fees were capitalized and amortized as interest expense over the period the bridge facility was outstanding. The bridge loan facility expired on July 20, 2015 upon the Company's issuance of unsecured senior notes with an aggregate principal of $15 billion as discussed below. The bridge loan facility fees were fully amortized during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

On July 20, 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of $2.25 billion of 1.9% unsecured senior notes due 2018 ("2018 Notes"), an aggregate of $2.75 billion of 2.8% unsecured senior notes due 2020 ("2020 Notes"), an aggregate of $1.5 billion of 3.5%

unsecured senior notes due 2022 ("2022 Notes"), an aggregate of $3 billion of 3.875% unsecured senior notes due 2025 ("2025 Notes"), an aggregate of $2 billion of 4.875% unsecured senior notes due 2035 ("2035 Notes"), and an aggregate of $3.5 billion of 5.125% unsecured senior notes due 2045 ("2045 Notes" and, together with the 2018 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2022 Notes, 2025 Notes and 2035 Notes, the "Notes") for total proceeds of approximately $14.8 billion , net of discounts and underwriting fees. The Notes pay interest semi-annually and contain redemption terms which allow or require the Company to redeem the Notes at a defined redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest at the redemption date. The net proceeds of the Notes were used to fund the Omnicare acquisition and will be used to fund the Target Pharmacy Acquisition. Any remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

Upon the closing of the Omnicare acquisition in August 2015, the Company assumed the long-term debt of Omnicare that had a fair value of approximately $3.1 billion , $2 billion of which was previously convertible into Omnicare shares that holders were able to redeem subsequent to the acquisition. During the period from August 18, 2015 to September 30, 2015, all but $9 million of the $2 billion of previously convertible debt was redeemed and repaid and approximately $0.4 billion in Omnicare term debt assumed was repaid for total repayments of Omnicare debt of approximately $2.4 billion during the third quarter of 2015. The remaining principal of the Omnicare debt assumed is comprised of senior unsecured notes with an aggregate principal amount of $700 million ( $400 million of 4.75% senior notes due 2022 and $300 million of 5% senior notes due 2024 ). In September 2015, the Company commenced exchange offers for the 4.75% senior notes due 2022 and the 5% senior notes due 2024 to exchange all validly tendered and accepted notes issued by Omnicare for notes to be issued by the Company. This offer expired on October 20, 2015 and the aggregate principal amounts below of each of the Omnicare notes were validly tendered and exchanged for notes issued by the Company.

The Company expects to record this exchange transaction as a modification of the original debt instruments. As such, no gain or loss on extinguishment will be recognized in the Company's consolidated income statement as a result of this exchange transaction and issuance costs will be expensed as incurred.

The following is a summary of the Company's required principal debt repayments, excluding unamortized debt discounts, deferred financing costs and debt premiums, due during each of the next five years and thereafter, as of September 30, 2015:

The Company leases most of its retail and mail order locations, ten of its distribution centers and certain corporate offices under noncancelable operating leases, typically with initial terms of 15 to 25 years and with options that permit renewals for additional periods. The Company also leases certain equipment and other assets under noncancelable operating leases, typically with initial terms of three to 10 years. Minimum rent is expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In addition

to minimum rental payments, certain leases require additional payments based on sales volume, as well as reimbursement for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance, which are expensed as incurred.

The following table is a summary of the Company's net rental expense for operating leases:

The Company finances a portion of its store development program through sale-leaseback transactions. The properties are generally sold at net book value, which approximates fair value, and the resulting leases typically qualify and are accounted for as operating leases. The Company does not have any retained or contingent interests in the stores and does not provide any guarantees, other than a guarantee of lease payments, in connection with the sale-leaseback transactions. Proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions totaled $34 million and $328 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 the Company had the following outstanding share repurchase programs that were authorized by the Company's Board of Directors:

The share repurchase programs, each of which was effective immediately, permit the Company to effect repurchases from time to time through a combination of open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions, and/or other derivative transactions. The repurchase programs may be modified or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company repurchased an aggregate of approximately 8.9 million shares of common stock for approximately $1.0 billion pursuant to the 2014 Repurchase Program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company repurchased an aggregate of approximately 37.8 million shares of common stock for approximately $3.9 billion pursuant to the 2013 and 2014 Repurchase Programs. This activity includes the accelerated share repurchase agreements ("ASR") described below. As of September 30, 2015, the 2013 Repurchase Program is complete.

Pursuant to the authorization under the 2013 Repurchase Program, effective January 2, 2015, the Company entered into a $2.0 billion fixed dollar ASR with JPMorgan Chase Bank ("JPMorgan"). Upon payment of the $2.0 billion purchase price on January 5, 2015, the Company received a number of shares of its common stock equal to 80% of the $2.0 billion notional amount of the ASR or approximately 16.8 million shares, which were placed into treasury stock in January 2015. On May 1, 2015, the Company received approximately 3.1 million shares of common stock, representing the remaining 20% of the $2.0 billion notional amount of the ASR, thereby concluding the ASR. The remaining 3.1 million shares of common stock delivered to the Company by JPMorgan were placed into treasury stock in May 2015.

The ASR was accounted for as an initial treasury stock transaction for $1.6 billion and a forward contract for $0.4 billion . The forward contract was classified as an equity instrument and was recorded within capital surplus on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The forward contract was reclassified to treasury stock upon the settlement of the ASR in May 2015. The initial and final receipt of shares resulted in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income per share.

Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized losses on cash flow hedges executed in previous years associated with the issuance of long-term debt, and changes in the net actuarial gains and losses associated with pension and other postretirement benefit plans. The following table summarizes the activity within the components of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component are shown on the next page:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company granted 4 million stock options with a weighted average fair value of $13.97 and a weighted average fair value exercise price of $102.28 . The Company had 25 million stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2015 with a weighted average exercise price of $57.32 and a weighted average contractual term of 4.11 years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company granted 3 million restricted stock awards with a weighted average fair value of $100.84 . The Company had 6 million restricted stock awards unvested as of September 30, 2015 with a weighted average fair value of $59.78 . Stock-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes $38 million associated with accelerated vesting of restricted stock replacement awards issued to Omnicare executives who were terminated subsequent to the acquisition.

The following are the components of net interest expense:

Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method. Options to purchase 3.5 million and 2.4 million shares of common stock were outstanding, but were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively, because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive. For the same reason, options to purchase approximately 4.1 million and 2.8 million shares of common stock were outstanding, but were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively.

The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the respective periods:

The Company has three reportable segments: Pharmacy Services, Retail/LTC and Corporate. The Retail/LTC Segment includes the operating results of the Company's Retail Pharmacy and LTC operating segments as the operations and economic characteristics are similar. The Company's segments maintain separate financial information for which operating results are evaluated on a regular basis by the Company's chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company evaluates its Pharmacy Services and Retail/LTC segments' performance based on net revenue, gross profit and operating profit before the effect of nonrecurring charges and gains and certain intersegment activities. The Company evaluates the performance of its Corporate Segment based on operating expenses before the effect of nonrecurring charges and gains and certain intersegment activities.

The Pharmacy Services Segment provides a full range of pharmacy benefit management ("PBM") services including plan design and administration, formulary management, Medicare Part D services, mail order, specialty pharmacy and infusion services, retail pharmacy network management services, prescription management systems, clinical services, disease management services and medical spend management. The Company's clients are primarily employers, insurance companies, unions, government employee groups, health plans, Managed Medicaid plans and other sponsors of health benefit plans, and individuals throughout the United States. A portion of covered lives primarily within the Managed Medicaid, health plan and employer markets have access to our services through public and private exchanges. Through the Company's SilverScript Insurance Company subsidiary, the Company is a national provider of drug benefits to eligible beneficiaries under the federal government's Medicare Part D program. The Pharmacy Services Segment operates under the CVS/caremark TM Pharmacy Services, Caremark ® , CVS Caremark TM , CVS/caremark TM , CarePlus CVS/pharmacy ® , CVS/specialty TM , RxAmerica ® , Accordant ® , SilverScript ® , NovoLogix ® , Coram ® , Navarro ® Health Services and Advanced Care Scripts ® names. As of September 30, 2015 , the Pharmacy Services Segment operated 24 retail specialty pharmacy stores, 11 specialty mail order pharmacies, five mail service dispensing pharmacies, and 83 branches for infusion and enteral services, including approximately 73 ambulatory infusion suites and six centers of excellence, located in 40 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.

The Retail/LTC Segment sells prescription drugs and a wide assortment of general merchandise, including over-the-counter drugs, beauty products and cosmetics, personal care products, convenience foods, photo finishing, seasonal merchandise and greeting cards through the Company's CVS/pharmacy ® , CVS ® , Longs Drugs ® , Navarro Discount Pharmacy ® and Drogaria Onofre ® retail stores and online through CVS.com ® , Navarro.com TM and Onofre.com.br TM . As of September 30, 2015 , the Retail/LTC Segment included 7,911 retail drugstores (of which 7,852 operated a pharmacy), 33 onsite pharmacies, 1,020 retail medical clinics, and the online retail websites, CVS.com, Navarro.com and Onofre.com.br. The retail drugstores are located in 44 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Brazil. The retail medical clinics operate under the MinuteClinic ®  name, and 1,013 are located within CVS/pharmacy stores. MinuteClinics utilize nationally-recognized medical protocols to diagnose and treat minor health conditions, perform health screenings, monitor chronic conditions and deliver vaccinations. The clinics are staffed by board-certified nurse practitioners and physician assistants who provide access to affordable care without

appointment. With the acquisition of Omnicare, the Retail/LTC Segment now includes LTC operations, which is comprised of providing the distribution of pharmaceuticals, related pharmacy consulting and other ancillary services to chronic care facilities and other care settings, as well as commercialization services which are provided by RxCrossroads ® . LTC is comprised of 113 spoke pharmacies that primarily handle new prescription orders and 32 hub pharmacies that use automation to support spoke pharmacies with refill prescriptions. LTC primarily operates under the Omnicare ® and NeighborCare ® names.

The Corporate Segment provides management and administrative services to support the Company. The Corporate Segment consists of certain aspects of executive management, corporate relations, legal, compliance, human resources, corporate information technology and finance departments.

(1) Net revenues of the Pharmacy Services Segment include approximately $2.1 billion and $1.9 billion of retail co-payments for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as well as $6.8 billion and $6.1 billion of retail co-payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(2)    Intersegment eliminations relate to intersegment revenue generating activities that occur between the Pharmacy Services Segment and the Retail/LTC Segment. These occur in the following ways: when members of Pharmacy Services Segment clients ("members") fill prescriptions at retail stores to purchase covered products, when members enrolled in programs such as Maintenance Choice ® elect to pick up maintenance prescriptions at a retail drugstore instead of receiving them through the mail, or when members have prescriptions filled at long-term care facilities. When these occur, both the Pharmacy Services and Retail/LTC segments record the revenues, gross profit and operating profit on a standalone basis.

Lease Guarantees

Between 1991 and 1997, the Company sold or spun off a number of subsidiaries, including Bob's Stores, Linens ‘n Things, Marshalls, Kay-Bee Toys, Wilsons, This End Up and Footstar. In many cases, when a former subsidiary leased a store, the Company provided a guarantee of the store's lease obligations. When the subsidiaries were disposed of, the Company's guarantees remained in place, although each initial purchaser has agreed to indemnify the Company for any lease obligations the Company was required to satisfy. If any of the purchasers or any of the former subsidiaries were to become insolvent and failed to make the required payments under a store lease, the Company could be required to satisfy these obligations.

As of September 30, 2015 , the Company guaranteed approximately 72 such store leases (excluding the lease guarantees related to Linens ‘n Things, which have been recorded as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet), with the maximum

remaining lease term extending through 2026 . Management believes the ultimate disposition of any of the remaining guarantees will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or future cash flows.

Legal Matters

The Company is a party to legal proceedings, investigations and claims in the ordinary course of its business, including the matters described below. The Company records accruals for outstanding legal matters when it believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal matters that could affect the amount of any accrual and developments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. If a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish an accrued liability. None of the Company's accruals for outstanding legal matters are material individually or in the aggregate to the Company's financial position.

The Company's contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties, including, among other factors: (i) the procedural status of pending matters; (ii) whether class action status is sought and certified; (iii) whether asserted claims or allegations will survive dispositive motion practice; (iv) the extent of potential damages, fines or penalties, which are often unspecified or indeterminate; (v) the impact of discovery on the legal process; (vi) whether novel or unsettled legal theories are at issue; (vii) the settlement posture of the parties, and/or (viii) in the case of certain government agency investigations, whether a sealed qui tam lawsuit ("whistleblower" action) has been filed and whether the government agency makes a decision to intervene in the lawsuit following an investigation.

Except as otherwise noted, the Company cannot predict with certainty the timing or outcome of the legal matters described below, and is unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss in excess of amounts already accrued for these matters.

In August 2006, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued an order transferring all related PBM antitrust cases, including the North Jackson Pharmacy cases, to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for coordinated and consolidated proceedings with the cases originally filed in that court, including the Bellevue matter. The consolidated action is now known as In re Pharmacy Benefit Managers Antitrust Litigation . A motion for class certification filed by the North Jackson Pharmacy plaintiffs against the Caremark defendants on August 31, 2015 is currently pending. In the Bellevue matter, the parties are in the early stages of discovery.

The Company has provided documents and other information in response to this request for information.

as the reporting of those fees and rebates to Part D plan sponsors. The Company has been cooperating with the government and providing documents and information in response to the subpoena.

The Company is also a party to other legal proceedings, government investigations, inquiries and audits arising in the normal course of its business, none of which is expected to be material to the Company. The Company can give no assurance, however, that its business, financial condition and results of operations will not be materially adversely affected, or that the Company will not be required to materially change its business practices, based on: (i) future enactment of new health care or other laws or regulations; (ii) the interpretation or application of existing laws or regulations as they may relate to the Company's business, the pharmacy services, retail pharmacy, long-term care pharmacy or retail clinic industries or to the health care industry generally; (iii) pending or future federal or state governmental investigations of the Company's business or the pharmacy services, retail pharmacy, long-term care pharmacy or retail clinic industry or of the health care industry generally; (iv) pending or future government enforcement actions against the Company; (v) adverse developments in any pending qui tam lawsuit against the Company, whether sealed or unsealed, or in any future qui tam lawsuit that may be filed against the Company; or (vi) adverse developments in pending or future legal proceedings against the Company or affecting the pharmacy services, retail pharmacy, long-term care pharmacy or retail clinic industry or the health care industry generally.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

CVS Health Corporation:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of CVS Health Corporation (the Company) as of September 30, 2015, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has elected changes in its methods of accounting for front store inventories in the Retail/LTC Segment effective January 1, 2015.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of CVS Health Corporation as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended not presented herein, and in our report dated February 10, 2015, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
