What changed
Molina Healthcare, Inc. has filed a Form 8-K to report an amendment to its Credit Agreement, entered into on February 4, 2026. This amendment, which modifies the Credit Agreement dated November 20, 2025, specifically revises Section 6.2 concerning the quarterly required minimum interest coverage ratio. The ratio is temporarily reduced from 3.00:1.00 to a tiered structure, starting at 1.75:1.00 for fiscal quarters ending between March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2026, and gradually increasing to 2.75:1.00 by the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2027.
This filing is significant for public companies, particularly those in the healthcare sector, as it indicates a temporary adjustment to financial covenants. Compliance officers should note the specific dates and ratio requirements outlined in the amendment. While the amendment is effective immediately, the adjusted ratios are phased in over several quarters, requiring careful monitoring of financial performance against these revised targets to ensure continued compliance with the credit agreement and avoid potential default scenarios.
What to do next
- Review the full text of the Amended Credit Agreement for detailed covenant terms.
- Monitor financial performance against the revised interest coverage ratio requirements through Q3 2027.
- Ensure internal reporting accurately reflects compliance with the temporary covenant adjustments.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On February 4, 2026, Molina Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a First Amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as the Borrower, the Lenders (as defined therein) party thereto, and Truist Bank, as Administrative Agent. The Amended Credit Agreement amends the Company’s prior Credit Agreement dated as of November 20, 2025 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The terms of the Amended Credit Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement, except that Section 6.2 was revised to temporarily reduce the quarterly required minimum interest coverage ratio from 3.00:1.00 to (a) with respect to each fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2026 through and including December 31, 2026, 1.75:1.00, (b) with respect to fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2027, 2.00:1.00, (c) with respect to fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2027, 2.50:1.00, and (d) with respect to fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2027, 2.75:1.00. The foregoing summary of the Amended Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amended Credit Agreement, a copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Amended Credit Agreement is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03. Item 2.06. Material Impairments On February 5, 2026, the Company concluded that it will record in the first quarter of 2026 an estimated non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge of approximately $93 million, attributable to certain of its intangible assets. This impairment charge results from the Company’s decision to exit the Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug product for 2027 as that product does not align with the Company’s strategic shift to focus exclusively on dual eligible members in Medicare. This charge will be recorded outside of adjusted net income. “Adjusted net income” is defined in the Company’s fourth quarter earnings release issued on February 5, 2026, and included as an exhibit to the Form 8-K filed on that same date. Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits. (d) Exhibits:
