Triple-S Management Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2018 Results

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, August 2, 2018 – Triple-S Management Corporation (NYSE:GTS), a leading managed care company in Puerto Rico, today announced its second quarter 2018 results.

·

Net loss of $38.7 million, or $1.68 loss per diluted share, versus net income of $12.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the prior-year period;

·

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded approximately $76.4 million of unfavorable prior period reserve development (approximately $47.5 million after-tax impact, or $2.06 per diluted share) in the Property and Casualty segment as increased gross losses related to Hurricane Maria claims caused the segment to exceed its catastrophe reinsurance coverage limit;

·

Adjusted net loss of $37.3 million, or $1.62 loss per diluted share, versus adjusted net income of $9.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, a year ago mostly reflecting the after-tax impact of the unfavorable reserve development in the Property and Casualty segment related to Hurricane Maria claims.  Excluding the impact of this unfavorable development, adjusted net income would have been $10.2 million, or $0.44 per diluted share;

·

Operating revenues of $763.1 million, a 3.0% increase from the prior-year period, reflecting higher Managed Care premiums;

·

Consolidated loss ratio rose 870 basis points to 93.3%, mostly driven by the unfavorable reserve development related to Hurricane Maria claims recognized by the Property and Casualty segment;

·

Medical loss ratio (“MLR”) improved to 86.1%, driven primarily by Managed Care premium trends that are higher than claim trends;

·

Consolidated operating loss of $63.6 million compared to operating income of $11.2 million in the prior-year period.  Excluding the impact of the Property and Casualty unfavorable development, consolidated operating income for the 2018 period would have been $12.8 million;

·

Under the Company’s share repurchase program, during the second quarter of 2018, 80,404 shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $2.1 million.  As of August 1, 2018, $18.5 million of availability remains in the program.

"While we continue to execute well on our initiatives to position the Company for long-term success, our second quarter performance was clearly affected by the unfavorable prior period reserve development at our Property and Casualty segment,” said Roberto Garcia-Rodriguez, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “As the quarter progressed, we received more detailed claim information, allowing us for the first time to base our reserves on actual data rather than model projections.  This led us to recognize a significant increase in the estimated gross losses related to Hurricane Maria, which exceeded the estimates generated by the industry-recognized post-landfall catastrophic model we had been using to establish our reserves, as well as our $733 million catastrophe reinsurance coverage limit.”

“Importantly, this development is an isolated event that has no impact on our ongoing operations—which performed better year over year—nor on our overall growth strategy,” continued Mr. Garcia-Rodriguez.  “We continue investing considerably in our Managed Care operations and modernizing our infrastructure to consistently expand our margins over time.  We also remain focused on increasing our share of Medicare Advantage business and on further expanding our ambulatory clinic network to enable sustainable growth and long-term value for our shareholders.”

·

Consolidated premiums earned were $741.8 million, up 2.6% from the prior-year period, primarily reflecting higher Medicaid and Medicare premiums within the Managed Care segment. Increase in Medicaid premiums mostly reflects the higher premium rates that became effective July 1, 2017, as well as an increase in membership. In the Medicare business, premiums increased due to the Company’s achievement of a four-star rated Medicare Advantage HMO contract this year, resulting in a 5% bonus applied to the benchmark used in premium calculation. These increases were partially offset by lower Commercial and Medicare membership.

·

Consolidated claims incurred were $692.1 million, up 13.2% year-over-year, mostly driven by $76.4 million in unfavorable prior period reserve development in the Property and Casualty segment related to the 2017 Hurricane Maria claims. Gross losses related to Hurricane Maria increased during the second quarter by approximately $212.7 million – from $686.7 million as of March 31, 2018 to $899.4 million as of June 30, 2018 – causing the Property and Casualty segment to exceed its catastrophe reinsurance coverage limit and requiring the recording of the unfavorable reserve development.

As the second quarter progressed, the segment received significant new information and claim amendments indicating a worsening of loss expectations related to this event, which required the substantial increase to reserves above the gross losses determined by the previously used industry-recognized model. The delay in receiving the information is principally the result of the catastrophic damage suffered by Puerto Rico in its power and communications infrastructure, causing adjusters and claimants to submit claims much later than would normally be expected. Consolidated loss ratio of 93.3% rose 870 basis points from the prior-year period, driven by the unfavorable reserve development.

·

Consolidated operating expenses of $134.6 million increased by $15.9 million or 13.4% from the prior-year period, while the Company’s operating expense ratio increased 170 basis points year-over-year to 18.0%. The increase in operating expenses primarily reflected the reinstatement of the Health Insurance Providers fee (“HIP fee”) of $12.2 million, as well as higher professional services and personnel costs related to the Company’s ongoing Managed Care initiatives.

·	Consolidated income tax benefit was $27.9 million, compared to an expense of $1.5 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting losses in the Property and Casualty segment.

 

·	Managed Care premiums earned were $678.3 million, up 2.5% year over year.

o

Medicare premiums earned of $279.8 million increased 5.0% from the prior-year period, largely reflecting an increase in the 2018 Medicare reimbursement rates for the first time since 2012 and an increase in premium rates as the result of attaining the four-star rating of the Company’s 2018 HMO product. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in member month enrollment of approximately 28,000.

 

o

Medicaid premiums earned improved 6.3% from the prior-year period to $203.8 million, primarily reflecting higher premium rates that became effective July 1, 2017, an approximate increase of 33,000 in member month enrollment, and $3.6 million associated with the reinstatement of the HIP fee pass-through in 2018.  These increases were partially offset by the collection in 2018 of one quarter of premiums related to the Company’s achievement of quality incentive metrics versus the collection of three quarters of premiums related to the metrics in 2017 (a decrease of $7.7 million in premiums year-over-year).

o

Commercial premiums earned of $194.7 million declined 4.2% from the prior-year period, mainly due to an approximate decline of 61,000 in fully-insured member month enrollment, partially offset by $3.0 million related to the reinstatement of the HIP fee pass-through and higher average premium rates in 2018.

·

Reported MLR of 86.1% improved 140 basis points from the prior year.  Excluding the impact of prior-period reserve developments, and moving the Medicare risk score revenue and other adjustments to their corresponding periods, recasted Managed Care MLR would have been 88.0%, 80 basis points lower than the comparable metric a year ago, mostly reflecting claim trends lower than premium trends, particularly in the segment’s Medicaid and Medicare businesses.

·	Managed Care operating expenses were $104.1 million, up $14.6 million, or 16.3%, year over year, primarily reflecting the reinstatement of the HIP fee, and an increase in professional services and personnel costs related to the Company’s ongoing clinical and operational initiatives.

 

 

The Company also announced today that on July 5, the Puerto Rico Health Insurance Administration (ASES by its Spanish acronym) notified its Managed Care subsidiary Triple-S Salud, Inc. that it is one of five companies selected to participate as a managed care organization (MCO) in the government’s revised Medicaid Health Plan.  Contract execution is expected during the month of August and the new program is scheduled to begin on November 1, 2018.

 

"We are pleased to be among the MCOs selected to participate in the revised Medicaid Health Plan,” said Mr. Garcia-Rodriguez.  “We’re excited to have the opportunity to provide Medicaid services across the entire island of Puerto Rico and look forward to implementing our innovative model focused on ensuring preventive care and improving the health outcomes of the chronically ill.”

 

Under the revised Medicaid program, MCOs will compete for membership throughout Puerto Rico.  In addition, MCOs are required to participate in two separate risk pools - a general population risk pool for which a base premium applies, and a “high cost, high need” risk pool with adjusted premiums established according to target populations and medical conditions.

The revised Medicaid program is expected be for a three-year term with an additional one-year term at ASES’ option.  Premium rates will be negotiated for each contract year.

The existing contract with ASES was extended through October 31, 2018 under the same terms and conditions.

 

The Company is maintaining its full year 2018 directional guidance regarding its Commercial business, as well as its Life Insurance and Property and Casualty segments and its consolidated operating expenses.  Directional guidance regarding its Medicare segment member enrollment was revised for the full year 2018.  More specifically:

 

·

In the Commercial business, the Company continues to expect full-year at-risk member month enrollment between 3.7 million and 3.8 million, and full-year MLR between 80.5% and 82.5%.

·

In the Medicare Advantage business, the Company now anticipates full year member month enrollment to be between 1.25 million and 1.35 million.  The Company’s previous outlook for the Medicare Advantage business was for full year member month enrollment to be between 1.35 million and 1.45 million. The Company continues to expect full year MLR for 2018 between 85% and 87%.

·

The Company continues to expect Life insurance premiums earned for 2018 between $160 million and $164 million.

·

The Company maintains expectations for its Property and Casualty premiums earned for 2018 to between $82 million and $86 million.

·

The Company continues to expect consolidated operating expenses for full year 2018 between $530 million and $545 million.

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial metric and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that the use of this adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share provides investors and management useful information about the earnings impact of realized and unrealized investment gains or losses, as well as other non-recurring items impacting the Company’s results of operations. We are also including adjusted net income and operating income excluding the impact of the unfavorable prior period reserve development recognized by the Property and Casualty segment as Management believes this metric provides useful information about the financial performance of the Company’s underlying business. These non-GAAP metrics do not consider all of the items associated with the Company’s operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, one should not consider these measures in isolation.
