Sutter Health Posts 2025 Audited Financial Statements
Sutter Health's audited financial statements for 2025 show sustained financial stability, supporting the organization's innovative, high-quality care delivery for 3.6 million patients - serving approximately 112,000 more patients than in 2024.

The organization ended 2025 with $509 million in operating income and an operating margin of 2.6% while managing growing labor and supply costs. Sutter's positive operating income and margins remain vital as theorganization continues making strategic investments to support more accessible, more proactive and more predictive care, helping more patients achieve their best health.
"As a not-for-profit health system, our financial strength enables our ability to reinvest in care advancements and expand access for the patients and communities we serve. We opened 31 new care sites and added more than 1,100 physicians this past year alone to ensure more people can get the care they need, when and where they need it," said Sutter Health President and CEO Warner Thomas. "We're focused on building a connected, comprehensive model of care that surrounds and supports every patient for every part of their health care experience."
Strengthening Health Care Access Statewide
Sutter continues building on the momentum that started upon Thomas' arrival in 2022 to expand clinical capacity and break down barriers to accessing care. In 2025, Sutter opened the doors at 31 new and expanded sites and broke ground at 15 others. Capital investments increased to more than $2 billion in 2025 compared to $819 million invested in 2024, as Sutter advanced comprehensive plans to open new and revitalize existing care facilities. Major projects on the horizon include a new Advanced Cancer Center and Care Complex in Modesto, an Advanced Neuroscience Complex in San Francisco, a new medical center in Santa Clara and a regional health care campus in Emeryville. As plans develop and locations expand, so does the need for supportive teams to care for more patients. Sutter welcomed approximately 1,100 new physicians and advanced practice clinicians in 2025 and grew its overall workforce to approximately 64,000 employees last year.
With these elements in place, Sutter has seen a year-over-year increase in patients served for a fourth year in a row. The health system now serves 3.6 million patients in California, compared to 3.1 million in 2021 - an increase of more than 16%.
Sustained Not-for-Profit Commitment to Community Investment
Sutter Health invests deeply in the communities it serves to help close health care gaps and improve individual and community wellness. Sutter's investments in community benefit programs and services increased to nearly $1.2 billion in 2025, including $101 million in traditional charity care, $830 million in unreimbursed costs of providing care to Medi-Cal patients, $101 million in training, education and development of future health care professionals, as well as investments in programs to address identified community health needs. Suter continues to hone its focus to address pressing community health matters in three main priority areas: workforce development, chronic disease prevention, and access to mental health care services and substance use treatment.
Driving Economic Impact
Sutter's financial stability helps fuel the health system's impact beyond health care delivery. It also serves as an economic multiplier. The organization supports tens of thousands of jobs, generating direct and indirect economic output, and sustaining workforce investments that define Sutter as a responsible employer.
According to a recently completed Economic Impact Report in partnership with Ernst & Young, across Sutter's footprint in 2024, it directly and indirectly supported 142,000 jobs and spent $6.5 billion in non-payroll purchases to operate facilities. The health system also invested more than $10 billion in total compensation for employees, including competitive wages and benefits; as well as compensation for non-employed physicians for services provided across the system through professional services agreements. These expenses increased in 2025, with Sutter spending $8.8 billion on employee salaries and benefits, and $3 billion on non-employed physician compensation.

Show Full Article NEW YORK, March 6 -- Morgan Stanley, a multinational financial services corporation, issued the following news release on March 5, 2026: * * * Morgan Stanley Investment Management Launches Eaton Vance Preferred Securities and Income ETF Morgan Stanley Investment Management (MSIM) announced today the launch of Eaton Vance Preferred Securities and Income ETF (Nasdaq: EVPF), an actively managed ETF that seeks total return and to provide current income and may invest in preferred securities and other income-producing securities. EVPF is the 12th actively managed fixed income ETF and the 19th ETFstrategy brought to market since the launch of the MSIM ETF platform in 2023.
"Our ETF platform continues to grow; EVPF delivers investors a unique, actively managed fixed income strategy that expands the range of investment options available," said Ally Wallace, Global Head of Capital Markets and ETF Strategy, Morgan Stanley Investment Management. "This latest offering is another example of our commitment to enhancing our ETF platform by tapping into MSIM's broad and distinct investment capabilities. With EVPF, we continue to position our ETF platform as a destination for investors seeking differentiated, active fixed income strategies delivered with the transparency, liquidity and tax efficiency of an ETF."
The EVPF portfolio management team consists of Kevin Lynyak, James Benadum, CFA, Christopher Santos, CFA, Justin Ziegler, CFA and Alec Schaefer, CFA, along with Brandon Matsui, CFA. EVPF employs a flexible, actively managed investment approach that seeks to build on the inherent income and diversification benefits of the preferred securities asset class. Preferred securities are predominantly investment grade and have historically exhibited lower correlation to traditional fixed income, which may enhance diversification within a broader fixed income allocation. Through a research-driven process and an emphasis on securities that may produce qualified dividend income (QDI), the strategy seeks to deliver attractive after-tax yields relative to traditional fixed income. EVPF has a gross expense ratio of 0.39 percent and a net expense ratio of 0.20 percent.
"We continue to have a constructive outlook for the preferred securities asset class and believe the economic backdrop, moderating inflation and anticipated gradual Fed easing are key factors to watch heading into the second quarter," said Lynyak. "The structural complexity and relative inefficiency of the preferred securities market creates opportunities for our fundamental, research-driven team to evaluate opportunities that may position us to seek tax-advantaged, income- generating opportunities for investors."
With the introduction of EVPF, MSIM's active fixed income ETF offering now includes:
* Eaton Vance Total Return Bond ETF (NYSE: EVTR)
* Eaton Vance Short Duration Income ETF (Nasdaq: EVSD)
* Eaton Vance Ultra-Short Income ETF (NYSE Arca: EVSB)
* Calvert Ultra-Short Investment Grade ETF (NYSE Arca: CVSB)
* Eaton Vance Mortgage Opportunities ETF (NYSE Arca: EVMO)
* Eaton Vance Intermediate Municipal Income (NYSE Arca: EVIM)
* Eaton Vance High Income Municipal ETF (Nasdaq: EVYM)
* Eaton Vance Short Duration Municipal Income ETF (NYSE Arca: EVSM)
* Eaton Vance High Yield ETF (NYSE Arca: EVHY)
* Eaton Vance Floating-Rate ETF (NYSE Arca: EVLN)
* Eaton Vance Income Opportunities ETF (NYSE Arca: XAGG)
* Eaton Vance Preferred Securities and Income ETF (Nasdaq: EVPF)
As of today, MSIM's ETF platform is comprised of 19 products including five Calvert-branded ETFs, three Parametric-branded ETFs and 10 Eaton Vance-branded fixed income ETFs.

EVPF's "Adviser," Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc., has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its management fee on a temporary basis so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of the Fund will not exceed 0.20% (the "Voluntary Fee Waiver"). The Voluntary Fee Waiver excludes distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses, and other extraordinary expenses, including the costs of proxies, not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business. The Voluntary Fee Waiver will remain in place through June 30, 2026. The Adviser may discontinue the Voluntary Fee Waiver at any time prior to such date in its sole discretion and without notice.
Diversification does not eliminate the risk of loss.
* * *
RISK CONSIDERATIONS
There is no assurance that a portfolio will achieve its investment objective. Portfolios are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the portfolio will decline. Market values can change daily due to economic and other events (e.g. natural disasters, health crises, terrorism, conflicts and social unrest) that affect markets, countries, companies or governments. It is difficult to predict the timing, duration, and potential adverse effects (e.g. portfolio liquidity) of events. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in this portfolio.
Please be aware that this portfolio may be subject to certain additional risks. Active Management Risk. In pursuing the Fund's investment objective, the Adviser has considerable leeway in deciding which investments to buy, hold or sell on a day-to-day basis, and which trading strategies to use. For example, the Adviser, in its discretion, may determine to use some permitted trading strategies while not using others. The success or failure of such decisions will affect the Fund's performance. Fixed-income securities are subject to the ability of an issuer to make timely principal and interest payments (credit risk), changes in interest rates (interest-rate risk), the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (market risk). In a rising interest-rate environment, bond prices may fall and may result in periods of volatility and increased portfolio redemptions. In a declining interest-rate environment, the portfolio may generate less income. Longer-term securities may be more sensitive to interest rate changes. Preferred Securities As with fixed-income securities, which also make fixed payments, the market value of preferred stock is sensitive to changes in interest rates. Preferred stock generally decreases in value if interest rates rise and increases in value if interest rates fall. Trust Preferred Securities. The market value of trust preferred securities may be more volatile than those of conventional debt securities. Convertible Securities. To the extent that the Fund invests in convertible securities, and the convertible security's investment value is greater than its conversion value, its price will be likely to increase when interest rates fall and decrease when interest rates rise. If the conversion value exceeds the investment value, the price of the convertible security will tend to fluctuate directly with the price of the underlying security. Contingent Convertible Securities. These securities provide for mandatory conversion into common stock of the issuer under certain circumstances. Since the common stock of the issuer may not pay a dividend, investors in these instruments could experience a reduced income rate, potentially to zero; and conversion would deepen the subordination of the investor, hence worsening standing in a bankruptcy. In addition, some such instruments have a set stock conversion rate that would cause an automatic write-down of capital if the price of the stock is below the conversion price on the conversion date. Under similar circumstances, the liquidation value of certain types of contingent convertible securities may be adjusted downward to below the original par value. In certain circumstances, contingent convertible securities may write down to zero and investors could lose the entire value of the investment, even as the issuer remains in business. CoCos may be subject to redemption at the option of the issuer at a predetermined price. Hybrid Securities. Hybrid securities generally possess certain characteristics of both equity and debt securities. These securities may at times behave more like equity than debt, or vice versa. Financial Services. Under normal conditions, the Fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities issued by issuers in the financial services sector. As a result, the Fund will be particularly susceptible to any economic, business, political, regulatory or other developments that adversely affect issuers in the financial services industry. Illiquid securities may be more difficult to sell and value than publicly traded securities (liquidity risk). High yield securities ("junk bonds") are lower rated securities that may have a higher degree of volatility, credit and liquidity risk. In general, equities securities' values also fluctuate in response to activities specific to a company as well as factors unrelated to the company's fundamentals (overall market and economic conditions, political events, investor sentiment, etc.). Foreign securities are subject to currency, political, economic and general market risks alongside lower transparency, weaker investor protections, and potential government actions that can restrict or devalue investments. Distressed and Defaulted Securities is highly speculative, with a significant risk of total loss due to uncertain repayment and potential costly, complex recovery efforts. New Fund Risk. A new portfolio's performance may not represent how the portfolio is expected to or may perform in the long term. In addition, there is a limited operating history for investors to evaluate and the portfolio may not attract sufficient assets to achieve investment and trading efficiencies. Authorized Participant Concentration Risk. The Portfolio has a limited number of intermediaries that act as authorized participants and none of these authorized participants is or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. As a result, shares may trade at a discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting. Trading Risk. The market prices of Shares are expected to fluctuate, in some cases materially, in response to changes in the Portfolio's NAV, the intra-day value of holdings, and supply and demand for Shares. The Adviser cannot predict whether Shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Buying or selling Shares in the secondary market may require paying brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker.
Where the net expense ratio is lower than the gross expense ratio, certain fees have been waived and/or expenses reimbursed. These waivers and/or reimbursements will continue until 6/30/26 (unless otherwise noted in the applicable prospectus) or until such time as the fund's Board of Directors acts to discontinue all or a portion of such waivers and/or reimbursements. Absent such waivers and/or reimbursements, returns would have been lower. Expenses are based on the fund's current prospectus.
Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. is the adviser to the Eaton Vance ETFs. Eaton Vance ETFs are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC.
Read the prospectus carefully before investing. Before investing in any Eaton Vance ETF, prospective investors should consider carefully the investment objective(s), risks, and charges and expenses.

Webcast and Conference Call Information
Whitney Notaro, Head of Investor Relations at Gap Inc., will host a conference call to review the company's fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 results beginning at approximately 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time today. Ms. Notaro will be joined by President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard Dickson and Chief Financial Officer, Katrina O'Connell.

Market Share Information
References to market share in this press release and related conference call and accompanying materials are for the US market, according to Circana data for the 12 month period ending January 2026, unless stated otherwise. Market share data is subject to limitations on the availability of up-to-date information. In particular, market share data may not be available for all retail channels in a category. The company believes that the Circana data is reliable, but it has not verified the accuracy or completeness of the data or any assumptions underlying the data. In addition, market share information reported by the company may be different from market share information reported by other companies due to differences in category definitions, the use of data from different vendors, internal estimates and other factors.
* * *
Non-GAAP Disclosure
This press release and related conference call and accompanying materials include financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP measures described below are intended to provide investors with additional useful information about the company's financial performance, to enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and to allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by management for financial and operating decision-making. The company presents these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing its financial performance from management's view and because it believes they provide an additional tool for investors to use in computing the company's core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in its industry. Additional information regarding the intended use of non-GAAP measures included in this press release and related conference call and accompanying materials is provided in the tables to this press release.
The non-GAAP measures included in this press release and related conference call and accompanying materials are free cash flow, adjusted expected fiscal 2026 operating expense as a percent of net sales, adjusted expected fiscal 2026 operating margin, adjusted expected fiscal 2026 diluted earnings per share, and adjusted expected first quarter fiscal 2026 operating expense as a percent of net sales. These non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of certain items. Reconciliations of free cash flow and expected adjusted fiscal 2026 diluted earnings per share from the most directly comparable GAAP measures are set forth in the tables to this press release. Reconciliations of adjusted expected fiscal 2026 operating expense as a percent of net sales, adjusted expected fiscal 2026 operating margin, and adjusted expected first quarter fiscal 2026 operating expense as a percent of net sales are not provided, in reliance on the exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, because a comparable GAAP measure is not reasonably accessible or reliable due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying measures that would be necessary for such reconciliation. Namely, we are not able to reliably predict all of the components of net sales, operating expense, and operating income at this time without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, we believe such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. The variability of those components may be material and have a significant impact on our future GAAP results.
The non-GAAP measures used by the company should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in items or events being adjusted. The company urges investors to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included in the tables to this press release below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and related conference call and accompanying materials contain forward-looking statements within the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

* 2 focus areas: chronic conditions in pregnancy and maternal mental health
The details: This latest round of grants supports organizations improving maternal health outcomes for women with chronic conditions, as well as those that provide perinatal and postpartum mental health services.
"These organizations are meeting mothers where they are -- in clinics, in their homes, in early learning centers, and in places that are comfortable and convenient for them," said Susan Towler, executive director of Florida Blue Foundation. "Every program we support helps close gaps in access, improve maternal and infant health outcomes, and strengthen families across the state."

Food Security Grant Program Applications also now open
In addition to announcing maternal health funding, the Florida Blue Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2026 funding cycle of its food security grant program. The Foundation will award approximately $3.2 million in grants and is seeking proposals that address the following topic areas:
Focus 1: Transforming Health through Food
Healthy eating is a crucial component of overall well-being, and access to nutritious food can play a significant role in preventing and managing chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity which are prevalent in Florida. This funding focus supports programs that apply Food is Medicine principles to deliver effective interventions that improve health outcomes and quality of life. Funding will support initiatives that provide nutrition prescriptions, education, counseling, and medical nutrition therapy to individuals and communities. Programs that provide fresh produce and healthy food to support lifestyle changes and improve overall community well-being are a priority. Partnerships between health care providers, grocery stores, food banks, and community organizations that address food insecurity as a social determinant of health are encouraged.
Focus 2: Growing Access, Growing Capacity
Vulnerable populations in Florida, including children, families, and seniors, often face significant barriers to accessing healthy food, particularly in food desert communities. This funding focus supports organizations that provide essential services to address food access gaps and promote community resilience. Funding will support food distribution programs, including food banks, delivery services, pantries, and mobile markets, as well as urban agriculture and collaborative solutions that increase access to nutritious food. Effective organizations with strong foundations are best positioned to drive lasting change; therefore, support for operational needs is a critical component of this funding focus, enabling them to sustain and grow their efforts over time.

Show Full Article BALTIMORE, Maryland, March 6 -- Baltimore Gas and Electric, a subsidiary of Exelon, issued the following news release on March 4, 2026: * * * BGE Reinforces Commitment to Fight Rising Energy Costs as Part of "The Exelon Promise" Customer-first strategy from parent company, Exelon, delivers local relief, customer assistance, and long-term solutions to ease burden on families and small businesses * As families and small businesses across central Maryland continue to face higher energy bills, BGE today reinforced its commitment as parent company, Exelon, launches The Exelon Promise - a comprehensive,customer-first strategy focused on delivering immediate customer relief, strong protections amid growing demand, and long-term solutions to address the root causes driving higher costs.
BGE is implementing this shared commitment on the ground, ensuring customers are supported during a period of elevated supply prices. Energy supply prices are increasing nationwide due to a convergence of historic growth in electricity demand, limited energy supply, and market dynamics that are keeping prices at record highs. While utilities do not control supply prices established in regional markets, BGE is responding with practical measures to help limit the impact on families and small businesses.
"The Exelon Promise reflects a companywide commitment to tackling rising energy costs and supporting the customers we serve," said Tamla Olivier, president and CEO of BGE. "Here in central Maryland, we are focused on doing everything in our control to drive short and long-term solutions that ensure affordable, safe, and reliable energy for the communities who count on us."
Delivering on affordability in central Maryland
Under The Exelon Promise, BGE continues to advance programs and protections designed to help customers manage rising energy costs today, while pursuing lasting reforms that address long-term cost drivers.
* Customer protections: Implementing strong guardrails to ensure large energy users, including data centers, pay for the infrastructure needed to support their growth, helping shield residential and small businesses from unfair cost impacts.
* Advocating for long-term solutions: Supporting reforms that allow public utilities to build new, affordable energy supply under public oversight, prevent power outages, and ease pressure on prices. A recent analysis by Charles River Associates found that allowing utilities to generate power could save customers across PJM's footprint between $9 billion and $20 billion.
* Customer support: Delivering immediate relief through both the summer and winter Customer Relief Fund providing a total of $17.5 million in credits, flexible payment options, energy efficiency programs, and connection to state and federal programs that help customers manage higher costs now. Visit bge.com/heretohelp for details. Note:
- In 2025, BGE connected 53,000 Low-to-Moderate-Income (LMI) customers to $91.3 million in energy assistance.
- More than 62,000 quick home energy check-ups were performed in 2025 for BGE customers.
- Currently more than 350,000 customers are signed up for residential budget billing.
- Currently more than 30,500 BGE customers have active payment arrangements.
- 30,955 households received direct financial assistance from BGE's $15 million Customer Relief Fund last summer. Winter CRF applications are currently undergoing review for $2.5 million in credits.
- BGE was instrumental in the collaborative development of a discounted rate mechanism for limited-income customers. Recently approved by the Maryland Public Service Commission and set to be implemented before Jan. 1 of next year, this program will provide discounted rates to certain limited-income customers to correlate payments more closely to their ability to pay.
