LOS ANGELES, May 7, 2014 – Health Net, Inc. (NYSE:HNT) today announced 2014 first quarter GAAP net income of $28.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $50.1 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013.

The company’s Western Region Operations (Western Region) and Government Contracts segments produced combined net income of $31.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014 compared with $50.1 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013.

The first quarter 2014 results include approximately $4.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in pretax expenses, primarily related to litigation costs.

Highlights from the first quarter of 2014 include:

The company achieved 6.7 percent enrollment growth in its Western Region health plans in the first quarter of 2014 compared with the first quarter of 2013;

Small group and individual commercial enrollment climbed by 20.1 percent in the first quarter of 2014 compared with the first quarter of 2013, primarily driven by approximately 155,000 new individual members from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchanges in California and Arizona;

Medicaid enrollment increased by 17.9 percent in the first quarter of 2014 compared with the first quarter of 2013. This was primarily the result of approximately 166,000 new members added in Arizona and California in the first quarter of 2014 from the expansion of Medicaid eligibility under the ACA; and

The company’s Western Region health plan Medical Care Ratios (MCRs) all improved in the first quarter of 2014 compared with the first quarter of 2013. The Western Region commercial MCR improved by more than 500 basis points year-over-year.

“Our first quarter performance demonstrated substantial commercial and Medicaid enrollment momentum thanks primarily to new ACA-related programs,” said Jay Gellert, Health Net’s chief executive officer. “We expect the second quarter to show further commercial growth as we enrolled approximately 54,000 new individual members in April. We expect to enroll an additional 60,000 to 70,000 individual exchange members in May.

“We believe our Medicaid enrollment gains from ACA-driven expansion will continue throughout 2014, with approximately 120,000 incremental members in the last three quarters of this year,” Gellert noted.

“We are encouraged by the ongoing moderate health care cost trends that particularly benefited our commercial and Medicaid businesses in the first quarter of 2014,” he added.

“In recent weeks, we have begun to enroll the first of our new dual eligible members, a new beginning for Health Net and for these important beneficiaries,” commented Gellert.

WESTERN REGION OPERATIONS SEGMENT

Health Plan Membership

Membership in tailored network products represented 48.6 percent of the company’s Western Region commercial membership at March 31, 2014 compared with 37.1 percent at March 31, 2013.

“Total California small group and individual enrollment increased 22.2 percent from March 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014,” said Jim Woys, Health Net’s chief operating officer. “We are pleased that our strategy to use our tailored network product structure to build plans for the individual exchanges has worked so well.”

Enrollment in Health Net’s Medicare Advantage (MA) plans was 255,000 members at March 31, 2014, a 9.4 percent increase compared with enrollment of 233,000 members at March 31, 2013.

Medicaid enrollment increased 17.9 percent to approximately 1.3 million members at March 31, 2014 compared with approximately 1.1 million members as of March 31, 2013 due to Medicaid expansion and the company’s entry into an Arizona Medicaid program on October 1, 2013.

Revenues

Total revenues for the Western Region for the first quarter of 2014 were approximately $2.9 billion compared with approximately $2.7 billion in the first quarter of 2013.

Net investment income for the Western Region was $11.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared with $29.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $11.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The year-over-year decrease was due to the absence of investment gains in 2014’s first quarter. In the first quarter of 2013, Health Net recorded approximately $17.3 million in investment gains.

Health Plan Services Expenses

Health plan services expenses in the Western Region were approximately $2.4 billion in the first quarter of 2014 compared with approximately $2.3 billion in the first quarter of 2013.

Commercial Premium Yields and Health Care Costs

In the Western Region, commercial premiums per member per month (PMPM) increased by 3.9 percent to approximately $400 in the first quarter of 2014 compared with approximately $385 in the first quarter of 2013.

Commercial health care costs PMPM in the Western Region decreased 2.2 percent to approximately $324 in the first quarter of 2014 compared with approximately $331 in the first quarter of 2013.

“We believe we will be able to maintain a positive commercial spread between premiums and health care costs throughout 2014 as we expect overall health care cost trends to remain moderate,” Woys noted.

Medical Care Ratios (MCR)

The health plan services MCR in the Western Region was 83.4 percent in the first quarter of 2014 compared with 86.2 percent in the first quarter of 2013.

The Western Region commercial MCR improved by more than 500 basis points and was 80.9 percent in the first quarter of 2014 compared with 85.9 percent in the first quarter of 2013.

“With rapid expansion of our individual enrollment, our mix of business has improved and this has helped the MCR performance,” noted Woys. “We also saw revenue benefits related to the ACA in the first quarter of 2014.”

The MA MCR in the Western Region was 91.8 percent in the first quarter of 2014 compared with 91.9 percent in the first quarter of 2013.

The Medicaid MCR in the Western Region was 79.8 percent in the first quarter of 2014 compared with 80.0 percent in the first quarter of 2013.

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses

G&A expense in the Western Region was approximately $357.9 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared with approximately $245.2 million in the first quarter of 2013. The G&A expense ratio was 12.4 percent in the first quarter of 2014 compared with 9.3 percent in the first quarter of 2013.

“The increase in the G&A expense ratio year-over-year reflects significantly higher spending to support our growth and address ACA-related fees and expenses,” commented Woys. “We expect the ratio will decline over the last three quarters of 2014 as we anticipate absolute spending to remain approximately equal to the first quarter level while revenues build over the balance of the year due to our new businesses.”

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS SEGMENT

Government Contracts revenues were $144.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $134.5 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Government Contracts expenses were approximately $131.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $125.5 million in the first quarter of 2013.

BALANCE SHEET

Cash and investments as of March 31, 2014 were approximately $2.4 billion compared with approximately $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2013 and $2.0 billion as of March 31, 2013.

Reserves for claims and other settlements as of March 31, 2014 were approximately $1.2 billion compared with $1.1 billion at March 31, 2013 and $984.1 million at December 31, 2013.

Days claims payable (DCP) for the first quarter of 2014 was 43.2 days compared with 43.5 days for the first quarter of 2013 and 40.6 days for the fourth quarter of 2013.

On an adjusted¹ basis, DCP for the first quarter of 2014 was 63.1 days compared with 62.1 days for the first quarter of 2013 and 57.9 days for the fourth quarter of 2013.

“We are very pleased with the growth of adjusted DCP. It reflects a cautious view as we manage the rapid changes in our enrollee population,” Woys explained.

The company’s debt-to-total capital ratio was 22.9 percent as of March 31, 2014 compared with 24.6 percent as of March 31, 2013 and 23.5 percent as of December 31, 2013.

CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATIONS

Operating cash flow was $311.5 million in the first quarter of 2014.

“This strong cash flow was primarily the result of timing related to claims and capitation payments, and ACA-related expenses,” said Joseph Capezza, Health Net’s chief financial officer. “For the full year, we expect operating cash flow to be approximately equal to net income plus depreciation and amortization.”

For a reconciliation of adjusted days claims payable to the comparable GAAP financial measure, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations — Days Claims Payable” in the company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, and Item 2.02 in the company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2014.
