Express Scripts 2015 Annual Report
Item 9 — Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A — Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2015. Based on this evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures
were (1) designed to ensure material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this
report was being prepared, and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance information required to be disclosed by
us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to
ensure information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and
communicated to the appropriate members of our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as
such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on our
evaluation under the framework in the 2013 Internal Control — Integrated Framework, our management concluded our internal
control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2015.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, has been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is set forth in
Part II — Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B — Other Information
