Long Beach, California (October 25, 2011) – Molina Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: MOH) today reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
 
Net income for the quarter was $19.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared with net income of $16.2 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
 
“Our diversification strategy and our focus on our less mature health plans were the keys to success in the third quarter,” said J. Mario Molina, M.D., chief executive officer of Molina Healthcare, Inc.  “The improved performance of Molina Medicaid Solutions and of our Florida and Texas health plans, compared with the second quarter of this year, offset a $7.5 million premium reduction in California.  Today, Molina Healthcare is a geographically diversified company offering a variety of services to meet the health care needs of low income families and the government agencies that assist them.  Our third quarter results demonstrate that we have many ways to serve the expected growth in our markets.”
 
Earnings Per Share Guidance

The Company reaffirms its earnings per diluted share guidance for fiscal year 2011 of $1.55.

Overview of Financial Results

Third Quarter 2011 Compared with Second Quarter 2011

Income before taxes in the third quarter of 2011 increased by approximately $1.5 million compared with the second quarter of 2011.

Premium revenue increased approximately 1%, primarily due to higher enrollment.
Consolidated medical costs were flat on a per-member-per-month (PMPM) basis.  Inpatient facility utilization and pharmacy utilization were essentially flat.
Performance of the Florida and Texas health plans improved.
Performance of the California health plan declined as a result of an estimated 6% rate cut that will be retroactive to July 1, 2011.  The amount reserved for the estimated rate cut was approximately $7.5 million.
Premium revenue was reduced due to a minimum medical cost floor in New Mexico and a profit cap in Texas amounting to $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared with $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2011.

Third Quarter 2011 Compared with Third Quarter 2010

Compared with the third quarter of 2010, the Company’s third quarter of 2011 was marked by improved performance of its health plans segment due to a 13% increase in premium revenue, partially offset by a decrease in the profitability of the Molina Medicaid Solutions segment.  Earnings per share in the third quarter of 2011 were up 8% over the third quarter of 2010, operating income was up 12%, and membership on a member-month basis grew by 8%.

Health Plans Segment

Premium Revenue

In the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2010, premium revenue grew 13% due to a membership increase of approximately 8% (on a member-month basis) and a PMPM revenue increase of approximately 5%.  Medicare premium revenue was $101.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $70.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  In addition to the $7.5 million reduction to revenue in the third quarter of 2011 for the estimated premium reduction in California, the Company reduced revenue by $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 due to a minimum medical cost floor in New Mexico and a profit cap in Texas.  In the third quarter of 2010, the Company reduced certain accruals for these items, resulting in an increase to revenue of $2.9 million.

Medical Care Costs

The ratio of medical care costs to premium revenue (the medical care ratio, or MCR) was essentially flat, increasing to 84.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with 84.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Total medical care costs increased approximately 5% PMPM.

Fee-for-service and capitation costs combined increased approximately 4%. Excluding the disproportionate impact of the Texas health plan, where the Company has experienced high utilization and unit costs for both physician and outpatient services (which include personal care services), fee-for-service costs were flat PMPM.
Capitation costs decreased approximately 12% PMPM, primarily due to the transition of members in Michigan and Washington into fee-for-service networks.
Fee-for-service costs increased approximately 8% PMPM, partially due to the transition of members from capitated provider networks into fee-for-service networks.
Pharmacy costs increased approximately 9% PMPM.
Hospital utilization decreased approximately 7%.

The medical care ratio of the California health plan increased to 88.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 80.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The California health plan reduced premium revenue by approximately $7.5 million in the third quarter of 2011 for premium reductions estimated to be retroactive to July 1, 2011.  The California Department of Health Care Services has indicated that it will reduce certain provider payments by approximately 10% retroactive to July 1, 2011.  The Company believes that this reduction to provider payments will translate into a premium reduction of approximately 6% for the California health plan.  At September 30, 2011, the California health plan had not recorded any potential recovery of provider payments related to this estimated premium reduction.  Also in the third quarter of 2011, the California health plan added approximately 7,000 new Aged, Blind or Disabled, or ABD, members with an average premium revenue of approximately $450 PMPM.

The medical care ratio of the Florida health plan decreased to 89.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 97.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to initiatives implemented to reduce pharmacy and behavioral health costs.  The Florida health plan received a premium rate increase of approximately 7.5% effective September 1, 2011.

The medical care ratio of the Michigan health plan decreased to 82.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 85.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to improved Medicare performance and lower capitation and physician/outpatient costs combined.  The Michigan health plan received a premium rate increase of approximately 1% effective October 1, 2011.

The medical care ratio of the Missouri health plan decreased to 78.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 86.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Medical costs were flat compared with the prior period, while the health plan received a premium rate increase of approximately 5% effective July 1, 2011.

The medical care ratio of the New Mexico health plan increased to 84.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 83.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The New Mexico health plan received a premium rate reduction of approximately 2.5% effective July 1, 2011.  Premium revenues were further reduced due to a 1% increase in the minimum contractual amount the plan is required to spend on medical costs effective July 1, 2011.  As a result of a minimum medical cost floor in the Company’s contract with the state of New Mexico, it reduced premium revenue by $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2011.  In the third quarter of 2010, the Company reduced its accrual for the minimum medical cost floor, resulting in the recognition of an additional $2.8 million of revenue.

The medical care ratio of the Ohio health plan decreased to 78.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 81.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2010, due to an increase in Medicaid premium PMPM of approximately 4.5% effective January 1, 2011, while fee-for-service costs have increased by only 2.0%.

The medical care ratio of the Texas health plan increased to 93.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 89.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Effective September 1, 2011, the Texas health plan added approximately 8,000 ABD Medicaid members and 3,000 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF, members in the Jefferson service area, and effective September 1, 2010, the Company added approximately 54,000 members state-wide who are covered under the Children’s Health Insurance Program, or CHIP.  Costs associated with ABD contracts, particularly in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, are running substantially higher than in the Company’s other markets, due to both high utilization and high unit costs.  Molina has undertaken a number of measures –
focused on both utilization and unit cost reductions – to improve the profitability of the Texas health plan.  The medical care ratio of the Texas health plan fell from 95.0% in the second quarter of 2011 to 93.7% in the third quarter of 2011.  Profitability of the CHIP line of business was proportionally higher in Texas, leading to a $1.5 million reduction of revenue as a result of a profit cap in Molina’s contract with the state of Texas.  That profit cap is applied on a product-by-product basis.  In the third quarter of 2010, the Company reduced its accrual for the profit cap, resulting in the recognition of an additional $0.1 million of revenue.  The Texas health plan received a premium rate reduction of approximately 2% effective September 1, 2011.

The medical care ratio of the Utah health plan decreased to 79.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 84.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to a reduction in inpatient utilization and a shift in member mix.  The Utah health plan received a premium rate reduction of approximately 2% effective July 1, 2011.

The medical care ratio of the Washington health plan increased to 82.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 79.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Higher fee-for-service and pharmacy costs more than offset lower capitation costs.  The Washington health plan received a premium rate reduction of approximately 1% effective October 1, 2011.

The medical care ratio of the Wisconsin health plan (acquired September 1, 2010) was 79.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The Wisconsin health plan recorded a premium deficiency reserve of $3.35 million in the first quarter of 2011.  Based on improvements in the health plan’s earnings forecast through the end of the contract period, this reserve was relieved during the second and third quarters.  Absent the premium deficiency reduction, the Wisconsin plan’s MCR would have been approximately 88.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2011.  Molina has undertaken a number of measures – focused on both utilization and unit cost reductions – to improve the profitability of the Wisconsin health plan.

Molina Medicaid Solutions Segment

Molina Medicaid Solutions was acquired on May 1, 2010.  Performance of the Molina Medicaid Solutions segment was as follows:

The Company is currently deferring recognition of all revenue as well as all direct costs (to the extent that such costs are estimated to be recoverable) in Idaho until the Medicaid Management Information System, or MMIS,  in that state receives certification from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS.  Cost of service revenue for the third quarter of 2011 includes $2.5 million of direct costs associated with the Idaho contract that would otherwise have been recorded as deferred contract costs.  In assessing the recoverability of the deferred contract costs associated with the Idaho contract at September 30, 2011, the Company determined that these costs should be expensed as a period cost.  Financial results remain strong under Molina’s Louisiana, New Jersey, and West Virginia MMIS contracts. 

Consolidated Expenses

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative, or G&A, expenses, were $99.6 million, or 8.5% of total revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $88.7 million, or 8.5% of total revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Premium Tax Expense

Premium tax expense decreased to 3.2% of premium revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 3.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2010, due to a shift in revenue to states with comparatively low premium tax rates.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Interest expense includes non-cash interest expense relating to the Company’s convertible senior notes, which amounted to $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense is recorded at an effective rate of 35.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with 36.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The lower rate in 2011 is primarily due to differences in the amount of discrete tax benefits recorded during the respective periods.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011, Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Improved performance of Molina’s health plans segment, again partially offset by a decrease in the profitability of the Molina Medicaid Solution segment, also led to improved performance for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Earnings per share in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were up 25% over the comparable period in 2010, premium revenues were up 14%, operating income was up 35%, and membership on a member-month basis grew by 10%.  Medicare premium revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $282.3 million compared with $188.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Health Plans Segment

Premium Revenue

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2010, premium revenue grew 14% due to a membership increase of approximately 10% (on a member-month basis) and a PMPM revenue increase of approximately 4%.  Medicare premium revenue was $282.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $188.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Reductions to revenue due to a minimum medical cost floor in New Mexico and a profit cap in Texas amounted to $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company reduced certain accruals for these items, resulting in an increase to revenue of $0.1 million.

Medical Care Costs

The medical care ratio decreased to 84.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with 85.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Total medical care costs increased less than 3% PMPM.

Pharmacy costs (adjusted for the state’s retention of the pharmacy benefit in Ohio effective February 1, 2010) increased approximately 6% PMPM.
Capitation costs decreased approximately 15% PMPM, primarily due to the transition of members in Michigan and Washington into fee-for-service networks.
Fee-for-service costs increased approximately 6% PMPM, partially due to the transition of members from capitated provider networks into fee-for-service networks.
Fee-for-service and capitation costs combined increased approximately 2% PMPM.
Hospital utilization decreased approximately 7%.

Consolidated Expenses and Other

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $291.0 million, or 8.4% of total revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $245.6 million, or 8.2% of total revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Premium Tax Expense

Premium tax expense decreased to 3.3% of premium revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from 3.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, due to a shift in revenue to states with comparatively low premium tax rates.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Interest expense includes non-cash interest expense relating to the Company’s convertible senior notes, which amounted to $4.1 million and $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense is recorded at an effective rate of 36.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with 37.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The lower rate in 2011 is primarily due to discrete tax benefits recognized for statute closures and prior year tax return to provision reconciliations.  Excluding the discrete tax benefits, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was 37.3%.

GAAP stands for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
(2)
EBITDA is not prepared in conformity with GAAP because it excludes depreciation and amortization, as well as interest expense, and the provision for income taxes.  This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measures of net income, operating income, operating margin, or cash provided by operating activities, nor should EBITDA be considered in isolation from these GAAP measures of operating performance.  Management uses EBITDA as a supplemental metric in evaluating the Company’s financial performance, in evaluating financing and business development decisions, and in forecasting and analyzing future periods.  For these reasons, management believes that EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance and the performance of other companies in its industry.
 
Securities Repurchase Program

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $75 million in aggregate of either the Company’s common stock or its 3.75% convertible senior notes due 2014.  The repurchase program will be funded with working capital or the Company’s credit facility, and repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.  The repurchase program extends through October 25, 2012, but the Company reserves the right to suspend or discontinue the program at any time.

Under the $7 million securities repurchase program announced by the Company in July 2011, the Company repurchased and retired approximately 400,000 shares of its common stock for $7 million (average cost of approximately $17.47 per share).  This repurchase did not materially impact diluted earnings per share for the three months or nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Conference Call

The Company’s management will host a conference call and webcast to discuss its third quarter results at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, October 25, 2011.  The number to call for the interactive teleconference is (212) 231-2935.  A telephonic replay of the conference call will be available from 7:00 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, October 25, 2011, through 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 26, 2011, by dialing (800) 633-8284 and entering confirmation number 21538905.  A live broadcast of Molina Healthcare’s conference call will be available on the Company’s website, www.molinahealthcare.com, or at www.earnings.com.  A 30-day online replay will be available approximately an hour following the conclusion of the live broadcast.

CHANGE IN MEDICAL CLAIMS AND BENEFITS PAYABLE
(Dollars in thousands, except per member amounts)
 (Unaudited)

The Company’s claims liability includes an allowance for adverse claims development based on historical experience and other factors including, but not limited to, variations in claims payment patterns, changes in utilization and cost trends, known outbreaks of disease, and large claims.  The Company’s reserving methodology is consistently applied across all periods presented.  The negative amounts displayed for “Components of medical care costs related to: Prior periods” represent the amount by which the Company’s original estimate of claims and benefits payable at the beginning of the period exceeding the actual amount of the liability based on information (principally the payment of claims) developed since that liability was first reported.  The following table shows the components of the change in medical claims and benefits payable as of the periods indicated:
