Section 8 - Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Segment Realignment

Effective for the first quarter of 2019, CVS Health Corporation (the “Company”) realigned the composition of its segments to correspond with changes to its operating model and reflect how its Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews information and manages the business. As a result of this realignment, the Company’s SilverScript® Medicare Part D prescription drug plan moved from the Pharmacy Services segment to the Health Care Benefits segment. In addition, the Company moved Aetna Inc’s (“Aetna”) mail order and specialty pharmacy operations from the Health Care Benefits segment to the Pharmacy Services segment. Prior period segment financial information has been recast to conform to the 2019 presentation.

The Company began to report under the new structure effective with the filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

This Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) updates and supersedes the information in the following sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”) to reflect retrospective application of the Company’s segment realignment to conform to the new segment presentation:

•
“Item 1. Business” of the 2018 Form 10-K, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
•
“Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included as part of Exhibit 13.1 of the 2018 Form 10-K, which is filed herewith as a portion of Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
•
“Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” (Consolidated Financial Statements), included as part of Exhibit 13.1 of the 2018 Form 10-K, which is filed herewith as a portion of Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.

In the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Company adjusted the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 to reflect the retrospective application of the Company’s segment realignment. Accordingly, the Company is filing this Form 8-K so that the Company’s annual operating financial statement and other information for years prior to January 1, 2019 incorporated by reference in any document that the Company has filed or may file from time to time with the SEC that has been impacted by the Company’s segment realignment would reflect the segment realignment.

Except as specifically set forth above relating to the Company’s segment realignment, the information in this Form 8-K does not reflect any event or development occurring after February 28, 2019, the date the Company filed the 2018 Form 10-K. For a discussion of events and developments subsequent to the filing of the 2018 Form 10-K, please refer to the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings since that date.
