The company has included financial measures throughout this earnings release that are not in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these measures, when presented in conjunction with the comparable GAAP measures, are useful to both management and its investors in analyzing the company’s ongoing business and operating performance. Consequently, management uses these non-GAAP (Adjusted) financial measures as indicators of the company’s business performance, as well as for operational planning and decision making purposes. Non-GAAP (Adjusted) financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. All financial measures in this press release are in accordance with GAAP unless otherwise indicated. Please refer to the footnotes for a detailed description of each item adjusted out of GAAP financial measures to arrive at a non-GAAP (Adjusted) financial measure.

GAAP and Adjusted pretax income and EPS results for 3Q18 and YTD 2018, in each case, exceeded management’s expectations, led by strong Medicare Advantage membership growth, continued lower inpatient medical utilization partially offset by higher outpatient spending in the Retail segment, higher favorable prior period medical claims reserve development (Prior Period Development), and significant operating efficiencies YTD 2018 driven by productivity initiatives implemented in 2017. In addition, the company continues to benefit from a lower tax rate year-over-year as a result of the Tax Reform Law enacted in the fourth quarter of 2017, allowing it to invest pretax dollars in its employees, the communities of its members, technology and its integrated care delivery model to drive more affordable healthcare and better clinical outcomes. Year-over-year comparisons continue to be impacted by the return of the health insurer fee in 2018; enhanced 2018 Medicare Advantage member benefits resulting from the investment of the better than expected 2017 individual Medicare Advantage pretax earnings; and the more severe flu season in 2018. EPS results were further impacted by a lower number of shares in 2018, primarily reflecting share repurchases. Please refer to the consolidated and segment highlights sections that follow for additional discussion of the factors impacting year-over-year results.

“As we enter the fourth quarter, we are encouraged by our performance this year, with adjusted EPS growth in excess of 20 percent. In addition to focusing on core earnings growth, we continue to improve our quality and customer experience. Evidence of progress in these areas include our Star Ratings and our recent recognition by JD Power as #1 in customer satisfaction for US mail order pharmacies,” said Bruce D. Broussard, Humana’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Noteworthy also is the positive response to our Medicare Advantage offerings for 2019 as nearly all of our members will experience stable or enhanced benefits. Early indicators from the Annual Election Period reflect member and broker excitement and we are expecting strong individual Medicare Advantage growth in 2019.”

2018 Earnings Guidance

Humana today raised its Adjusted EPS guidance for the year ending December 31, 2018 (FY18). The company now expects GAAP EPS of approximately $11.96, an increase from the previous guidance of $11.52, while FY18 Adjusted EPS guidance was increased to approximately $14.40 from its previous guidance of approximately $14.15. Additional FY18 guidance points and a reconciliation to the company’s previous GAAP and Adjusted EPS guidance are included beginning on page 24 of this earnings release.

“Strong top and bottom line growth in 2018, fueled by solid execution, is paving the way for compelling performance in 2019,” said Brian A. Kane, Chief Financial Officer. “We are pleased with the initial positive response to our individual Medicare Advantage offerings for 2019. Meaningful tailwinds, including tax reform and the health insurance industry fee moratorium for 2019, allowed us to invest in benefits for our members and offer competitive Medicare Advantage products which are expected to drive significant membership growth and a year-over-year Adjusted EPS increase in excess of our long-term growth target.”

A reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted EPS for the company’s FY18 projections as well as comparable numbers for the year ended December 31, 2017 (FY17) is shown below for comparison.

Star Quality Ratings

As previously disclosed, in October 2018, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published its updated Star quality ratings for bonus year 2020. Humana received a 5-star rating on CMS’s 5-star rating system for two Medicare Advantage (MA) contracts offered in Florida and Tennessee. In addition, Humana received a 4.5-star rating for two MA contracts offered in Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Oregon. Humana has 12 contracts rated 4-star or above and 3 million members in 4-star or above rated contracts to be offered in 2019, representing 84% of the company’s MA membership as of July 2018. The achievement of a 5-star rating for two MA contracts in Florida and Tennessee provides Humana the ability to market these contracts throughout the year, creating an opportunity for increased penetration in these important geographies.

Adjusted (non-GAAP)

   $ 14,205      $ 13,057      $ 42,738      $ 39,821  

GAAP consolidated revenues for 3Q18 were $14.21 billion, an increase of $924 million, or 7 percent, from $13.28 billion in 3Q17. Total premiums and services revenues of $14.09 billion in 3Q18 increased $915 million, or 7 percent, from $13.18 billion in 3Q17. The favorable year-over-year comparisons were primarily driven by higher premium revenues from the company’s Medicare Advantage business, partially offset by lower revenues associated with the exit of the individual commercial business as of January 1, 2018.

Adjusted consolidated revenues for 3Q18 of $14.21 billion compared to Adjusted consolidated revenues for 3Q17 of $13.06 billion, an increase of $1.15 billion, or 9 percent, reflecting the same factors impacting the year-over-year GAAP comparison, while excluding the impact of the Individual Commercial segment.

Consolidated revenues for YTD 2018 increased $2.17 billion, or 5 percent, to $42.74 billion from $40.58 billion in YTD 2017. Total premiums and services revenues also increased to $42.33 billion, increasing $2.06 billion, or 5 percent, from $40.26 billion in the prior-year period. The YTD 2018 increases were primarily driven by higher Medicare Advantage revenues, partially offset by the impact of lower revenues from the exit of the individual commercial business.

Adjusted consolidated revenues for YTD 2018 of $42.74 billion compared to Adjusted consolidated revenues for YTD 2017 of $39.82 billion, an increase of $2.92 billion, or 7 percent, primarily reflecting the same factors impacting the year-over-year GAAP comparison, while excluding the impact of the Individual Commercial segment.

The 3Q18 GAAP consolidated benefit ratio of 82.0 percent improved 10 basis points from the 3Q17 GAAP consolidated benefit ratio of 82.1 percent. The year-over-year comparison of the ratio was favorably impacted by the following factors:

 

   

positive impact on 3Q18 from the reinstatement of the non-deductible health insurance industry fee in 2018 which was contemplated in the pricing and benefit design of the company’s products; and

 

   

higher favorable Prior Period Development in 3Q18.

The above items were offset by the enhanced 2018 Medicare Advantage member benefits resulting from the investment of the better than expected 2017 individual Medicare Advantage pretax earnings, along with an unfavorable year-over-year comparison of the Group and Specialty segment benefit ratio as further discussed in the segment highlights that follow.

The 3Q18 Adjusted consolidated benefit ratio of 82.0 percent decreased 40 basis points from the 3Q17 Adjusted consolidated benefit ratio of 82.4 percent. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects the impact of the factors in the quarterly GAAP comparison, while excluding the impact of the Individual Commercial segment.

The GAAP consolidated benefit ratio for YTD 2018 of 83.5 percent increased 40 basis points from the YTD 2017 GAAP consolidated benefit ratio of 83.1 percent. The year-over-year increase was unfavorably impacted by the following factors:

 

   

enhanced 2018 Medicare Advantage member benefits resulting from the investment of the better than expected 2017 individual Medicare Advantage pretax earnings; and

 

   

a more severe flu season in YTD 2018.

The above items were partially offset by the positive impact on the YTD 2018 ratio from the reinstatement of the non-deductible health insurance industry fee in 2018 which was contemplated in the pricing and benefit design of the company’s products.

The YTD 2018 Adjusted consolidated benefit ratio of 83.7 percent was unchanged from the YTD 2017 Adjusted consolidated benefit ratio.

The 3Q18 GAAP consolidated operating cost ratio (operating costs as a percent of total revenues less investment income) of 13.5 percent increased 70 basis points from the 3Q17 ratio of 12.8 percent. The year-over-year increase was the result of the following:

 

   

the reinstatement of the non-deductible health insurance industry fee in 2018, which increased the consolidated GAAP operating cost ratio by approximately 180 basis points in 3Q18,

 

   

investments made in 3Q18 as a result of the Tax Reform Law; these include the continuation of investments in the company’s employees, primarily the establishment of an annual incentive compensation program for a broader range of employees, together with additional investments in the communities of the company’s members, technology and its integrated care delivery model to drive more affordable healthcare and better clinical outcomes, as previously disclosed,

 

   

an increase in incentive compensation costs under the expanded program noted above, resulting from the continued strong performance by the company, and

 

   

growth in the company’s military services business, which carries a higher operating cost ratio than other company products, due to the previously disclosed transition to the TRICARE East Region contract effective January 1, 2018.

The above items were partially offset by the favorable impact on 3Q18 from:

 

   

significant operating costs efficiencies in 3Q18 driven by productivity initiatives implemented in 2017,

 

   

impact of the charges recorded in 3Q17 associated with the voluntary and involuntary workforce reduction program, and

 

   

the exit of the individual commercial business, which carried a higher operating cost ratio than the company’s other products, effective January 1, 2018.

The 3Q18 Adjusted consolidated operating cost ratio was 170 basis points higher than the 3Q17 Adjusted consolidated operating cost ratio of 11.8 percent primarily driven by the same factors impacting the change in the quarterly GAAP consolidated operating cost ratio, while excluding the impact of the items detailed in the consolidated operating cost ratio table above.

The 110 basis point increase of the YTD 2018 GAAP consolidated operating cost ratio of 12.8 percent from 11.7 percent in YTD 2017 was also primarily impacted by the same factors influencing the third quarter GAAP comparison. In addition, the year-over-year comparison was positively impacted by the guaranty fund assessment expense to support policyholder obligations of Penn Treaty recorded in the first quarter of 2017. The non-deductible health insurance industry fee increased the consolidated GAAP operating cost ratio by approximately 180 basis points in YTD 2018.

The YTD 2018 Adjusted consolidated operating cost ratio of 12.8 percent increased 170 basis points from the Adjusted ratio of 11.1 percent in YTD 2017 primarily reflecting the same factors impacting the year-to-date GAAP comparison, while excluding the impact of the items noted in the consolidated operating cost ratio table above.

Balance sheet

 

   

At September 30, 2018, the company had cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities of $14.24 billion, down $3.65 billion, or 20 percent, from $17.90 billion at June 30, 2018, primarily reflecting the impact of the early receipt of the July 2018 Medicare premium remittance of $3.31 billion from CMS in the second quarter of 2018 because the payment date of July 1, 2018 fell on a weekend. Additional changes are outlined in the company’s consolidated statement of cash flows on pages S-6 and S-7 of the statistical supplement included in this release.

 

   

At September 30, 2018, cash and short-term investments held at the parent company of $1.00 billion decreased $814 million, or 45 percent, from $1.82 billion at June 30, 2018 primarily resulting from the completion of the Kindred at Home acquisition, the cash capital contribution related to the sale of KMG, open market share repurchases, capital expenditures, and cash dividends. These declines were partially offset by working capital timing benefits between the parent and the company’s subsidiaries.

 

   

Days in claims payable (DCP) of 41.1 at September 30, 2018, increased by 1 day from 40.1 at June 30, 2018, but declined 1.8 days from 42.9 at September 30, 2017. Changes are outlined in the DCP rollforward on page S-19 of the statistical supplement included in this release.

 

   

Debt-to-total capitalization at September 30, 2018 was 32.8 percent, down 80 basis points from 33.6 percent at June 30, 2018, primarily due to the net impact of 3Q18 earnings. The company’s long-term target debt-to-total capitalization range of 30 to 35 percent is expected to allow the company to maintain its investment grade credit rating while providing significant financial flexibility.

 

   

The company had $398 million associated with outstanding commercial paper at September 30, 2018 and at June 30, 2018.

GAAP cash flows used in operations of $1.06 billion in 3Q18 unfavorably compared to cash flows provided by operations of $2.86 billion in 3Q17. Year-over-year comparisons of GAAP cash flows were significantly impacted by the timing of the monthly Medicare premium remittance from CMS, with 3Q17 benefitting from the inclusion of the standard three monthly payments as compared to only two monthly payments in 3Q18 as a result of the July 2018 remittance of $3.31 billion being received during the second quarter of 2018, as previously discussed and noted in the table above. This negative impact coupled with the timing of working capital items, including the timing of Medicare risk adjustment payments, was partially offset by higher year-over-year earnings in 3Q18 compared to 3Q17.

Adjusted cash flows provided by operations for 3Q18 of $2.25 billion compared unfavorably to Adjusted cash flows provided by operations of $2.78 billion in 3Q17 due to the timing of working capital items, including the timing of Medicare risk adjustment payments, partially offset by higher year-over-year earnings in 3Q18 compared to 3Q17.

 

   

For YTD 2018, GAAP cash flows provided by operations totaled $2.51 billion versus $6.96 billion of GAAP cash flows provided by operations during YTD 2017, a decrease of $4.46 billion year over year, primarily reflecting the impact of the early receipt of the October 2017 Medicare premium payment from CMS in 3Q17. YTD 2018 operating cash flows included the standard nine monthly Medicare premium payments from CMS compared to YTD 2017 including ten monthly remittances. The year-over-year negative comparison was further affected by the receipt of the merger termination fee, net of related expenses, in YTD 2017, the YTD 2018 funding of reinsurance transactions in connection with the sale of KMG, and the timing of working capital items, including the timing of Medicare risk adjustment payments.

Adjusted cash flows provided by operations for YTD 2018 of $2.51 billion compared unfavorably to Adjusted cash flows provided by operations of $3.83 billion in YTD 2017 primarily due to the receipt of the merger termination fee, net of related expenses, in YTD 2017, the YTD 2018 funding of reinsurance transactions in connection with the sale of KMG, and the timing of working capital items, including the timing of Medicare risk adjustment payments.

 

   

Due to the September 30, 2018 payment date falling on a weekend, the company made its payment of $1.04 billion related to the health insurance industry fee on October 1; therefore, there was no impact to 3Q18 or YTD 2018 cash flows. Additionally, GAAP cash flows for 3Q17 and YTD 2017 were not impacted by the payment of the health insurance industry fee as it was temporarily suspended in 2017.

Share repurchases

 

   

Excluding the impact of accelerated share purchase (ASR) programs described below, the company executed the following open-market repurchases during the respective periods:

In December 2017, Humana’s Board of Directors approved a $3.00 billion share repurchase authorization with an expiration date of December 31, 2020. The company subsequently entered into an agreement with a third-party financial institution on December 21, 2017 to effect a $1.00 billion accelerated share repurchase (ASR) program under the authorization. Under the terms of the program, which was completed in the first quarter of 2018, the company repurchased approximately 3,737,700 of its outstanding shares at an average price of $267.55 per share.

Including the impact of repurchases noted in the table above and the ASR completed in first quarter of 2018, the company has a remaining repurchase authorization of approximately $1.78 billion as of November 6, 2018.

 

   

In 3Q17, the company completed a previously outstanding $1.50 billion ASR program. Under terms of this program, the company repurchased approximately 6,672,400 shares at an average price of $224.81 per share.

Cash dividends

 

   

The company paid cash dividends to its stockholders of $69 million in 3Q18 versus $58 million in 3Q17. Cash dividends of $195 million were paid to the company’s stockholders during YTD 2018 compared to $162 million in YTD 2017. The increases primarily reflect an increase in the per share dividend to $0.50 for 2018 from $0.40 per share for 2017, as previously disclosed.

 

   

In November 2018, the company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend to stockholders of $0.50 per share, payable on January 25, 2019, to stockholders of record on December 31, 2018.

Humana’s Retail Segment

This segment consists of the company’s Medicare benefits, marketed to individuals directly or via group Medicare accounts, as well as its Medicare Supplement and state-based contracts businesses. State-based contracts include those with various states to provide Medicaid, dual eligible, and Long-Term Support Services benefits. In addition, this segment also includes the company’s contract with CMS to administer the Limited Income Newly Eligible Transition prescription drug plan (PDP) program.

Retail segment revenues:

 

   

The 3Q18 revenues for the Retail segment were $12.07 billion, an increase of $1.03 billion, or 9 percent, from $11.05 billion in 3Q17 primarily reflecting individual and group Medicare Advantage membership growth in the previous Annual Election Period (AEP) as well as increased per-member premiums for certain of the segment’s products, partially offset by declines in state-based contracts and stand-alone PDP revenues resulting from membership declines discussed further below.

 

   

The YTD 2018 revenues for the Retail segment were $36.22 billion, up $2.44 billion, or 7 percent, from $33.78 billion in YTD 2017, primarily reflecting the same factors impacting the year-over-year third quarter comparison.

Retail segment enrollment:

 

   

Individual Medicare Advantage membership was 3,043,800 as of September 30, 2018, a net increase of 194,400 or 7 percent, from 2,849,400 as of September 30, 2017, and up 183,000, or 6 percent, from 2,860,800 as of December 31, 2017, primarily due to membership additions associated with the previous AEP for Medicare beneficiaries.

 

   

Group Medicare Advantage membership was 496,800 as of September 30, 2018, a net increase of 58,400, or 13 percent, from 438,400 at September 30, 2017, and up 55,400, or 13 percent, from 441,400 as of December 31, 2017. The increases primarily resulted from increased sales to the company’s existing group accounts during the previous AEP for Medicare beneficiaries.

 

   

Membership in the company’s stand-alone PDP offerings was 5,015,900 as of September 30, 2018, a net decrease of 275,000, or 5 percent, from 5,290,900 as of September 30, 2017, and down 292,200, or 6 percent, from 5,308,100 as of December 31, 2017, reflecting net declines during the previous AEP for Medicare beneficiaries. These declines primarily resulted from the previously disclosed loss of auto assigned members in Florida and South Carolina due to pricing over the CMS low income benchmark and continued membership declines in the company’s Enhanced Plan. In addition, growth in the company’s co-branded Walmart plan was significantly lower than historical levels due to the introduction of additional low-priced competitor offerings in many regions.

 

   

State-based contracts membership (including dual-eligible demonstration members) was 323,800 as of September 30, 2018, a net decrease of 39,600, or 11 percent, from 363,400 at September 30, 2017, and down 36,300, or 10 percent, from 360,100 as of December 31, 2017. The decreases were primarily driven by the previously disclosed decision to not participate in Illinois’ Integrated Care Program Medicaid contract, along with lower membership associated with the company’s Florida Medicaid contract due to overall strengthening economic conditions.

Retail segment benefits expense:

 

   

The 3Q18 benefit ratio for the Retail segment of 83.2 percent decreased 110 basis points from 84.3 percent in 3Q17 primarily due to the reinstatement of the non-deductible health insurance industry fee in 2018 which was contemplated in the pricing and benefit design of the company’s products and higher favorable Prior Period Development in 3Q18. These improvements were partially offset by the unfavorable impact from enhanced 2018 Medicare Advantage member benefits resulting from the investment of the better than expected 2017 individual Medicare Advantage pretax earnings.

 

   

The YTD 2018 benefit ratio for the Retail segment of 85.4 percent was 70 basis points lower than the YTD 2017 ratio of 86.1 percent, primarily reflecting the same factors impacting the year-over-year comparison for the third quarter, excluding the impact of Prior Period Development. This decrease was partially offset by the impact of a more severe flu season in 2018.

 

   

Prior Period Development for the Retail segment, as noted in the table below, improved the segment benefit ratio by 100 basis points in 3Q18 and 50 basis points in 3Q17. Prior Period Development lowered both the YTD 2018 and YTD 2017 benefit ratios by 100 basis points.

Retail segment operating costs:

 

   

The Retail segment’s operating cost ratio of 11.2 percent in 3Q18 increased 140 basis points from 9.8 percent in 3Q17. The year-over-year comparison was negatively impacted by the following:

 

   

the reinstatement of the non-deductible health insurance industry fee in 2018, which increased the Retail segment’s operating cost ratio by approximately 190 basis points in 3Q18,

 

   

strategic investments made in 3Q18 as a result of the Tax Reform Law as previously described, and

 

   

an increase in incentive compensation costs under the expanded program noted previously, resulting from the continued strong performance by the company.

The above items were partially offset by significant operating costs efficiencies in 3Q18 driven by productivity initiatives implemented in 2017.

 

   

The Retail segment’s YTD 2018 operating cost ratio of 10.5 percent increased 160 basis points from 8.9 percent in YTD 2017 primarily reflecting the same factors that impacted the year-over-year comparison for the third quarter. The reinstatement of the non-deductible health insurance fee impacted the segment’s YTD 2018 operating cost ratio by approximately 190 basis points.

The Retail segment’s GAAP segment earnings of $634 million in 3Q18 increased $24 million, or 4 percent, from GAAP segment earnings of $610 million in 3Q17. Adjusted segment earnings for the Retail segment of $638 million in 3Q18 increased $22 million, or 4 percent, from the 3Q17 Adjusted segment earnings. The favorable comparisons reflect the year-over-year improvement in the segment’s benefit ratio in 3Q18, partially offset by the segment’s higher operating cost ratio in 3Q18.

 

   

For YTD 2018, GAAP segment earnings for the Retail segment of $1.39 billion decreased $193 million, or 12 percent, from $1.59 billion in YTD 2017. Adjusted segment earnings of $1.41 billion in YTD 2018 declined $196 million, or 12 percent, from $1.61 billion of Adjusted segment earnings in YTD 2017. The year-over-year decreases primarily reflect a higher operating cost ratio in YTD 2018, partially offset by an improving benefit ratio.

Humana’s Group and Specialty Segment

This segment consists of the company’s employer group fully-insured commercial medical products and specialty health insurance benefits marketed to individuals and groups, including dental, vision, and other supplemental health and voluntary insurance benefits. In addition, the segment also includes the company’s administrative services only (ASO) products and its military services businesses, which beginning January 1, 2018 primarily relates to the TRICARE East Region contract.

Group and Specialty segment revenues:

 

   

The 3Q18 revenues for the Group and Specialty segment were $1.89 billion, up $41 million, or 2 percent, from $1.85 billion in 3Q17. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the following factors:

 

   

greater services revenue in the company’s military services business as a result of the transition to the East Region TRICARE contract on January 1, 2018, along with the favorable impact of the timing of certain contractual incentives and adjustments,

 

   

higher stop-loss premiums related to the company’s level-funded ASO accounts resulting from membership growth in this product as more fully described below, and

 

   

higher per member premiums across the commercial fully-insured business.

 

12


These increases were partially offset by the impact of the previously disclosed full ceding of the company’s workplace voluntary benefit (WVB) and Financial Protection Products (FPP) lines of business to a third party in connection with Humana’s divestiture of KMG during the second quarter of 2018. The year-over-year comparison was further negatively affected by a decline in average group fully-insured commercial medical membership.

 

   

The YTD 2018 revenues for the Group and Specialty segment were $5.77 billion, up $212 million, or 4 percent, from $5.56 billion in YTD 2017, primarily reflecting the same factors that impacted the year-over-year third quarter comparison.

Group and Specialty segment enrollment:

 

   

Group fully-insured commercial medical membership was 1,029,100 at September 30, 2018, a decrease of 69,700, or 6 percent, from 1,098,800 at September 30, 2017, and down 68,600, or 6 percent, from 1,097,700 at December 31, 2017. These anticipated declines primarily reflect lower membership in small group accounts due in part to more small group accounts selecting level-funded ASO products in 2018. The portion of group fully-insured commercial medical membership in small group accounts (2-99 sized employer groups) was approximately 62 percent at September 30, 2018 and 64 percent at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017.

 

   

Group ASO commercial medical membership was 449,900 at September 30, 2018, an increase of 4,200, or 1 percent, from 445,700 at September 30, 2017, but down 8,800, or 2 percent, from 458,700 at December 31, 2017. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects more small group accounts selecting level-funded ASO products in 2018, partially offset by the loss of certain large group accounts due to continued discipline in pricing of services for self-funded accounts amid a highly competitive environment. The year-to-date decline reflects the impact of the loss of these large group accounts. Small group membership comprised 21 percent of group ASO medical membership at September 30, 2018 versus 9 percent at September 30, 2017 and 12 percent at December 31, 2017.

 

   

Military services membership was 5,927,400 at September 30, 2018, an increase of 2,828,400, or 91 percent, from 3,099,000 at September 30, 2017, and up 2,845,600, or 92 percent, versus 3,081,800 at December 31, 2017 primarily due to the company’s transition to providing healthcare services to military service members, retirees, and their families under the TRICARE East Region contract from the South Region contract. The new contract, which covers 32 states, became effective on January 1, 2018.

 

   

Membership in specialty products (h) was 6,116,300 at September 30, 2018, a decrease of 817,700, or 12 percent, from 6,934,000, at September 30, 2017, and down 869,700, or 12 percent, from 6,986,000 at December 31, 2017. The decreases primarily resulted from the previously disclosed reinsuring of the company’s WVB and FPP membership to a third party, as well as the loss of some large group accounts offering stand-alone dental and vision products. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in individual dental and vision membership.

 

13


Group and Specialty segment benefits expense:

 

   

The 3Q18 benefit ratio for the Group and Specialty segment was 80.7 percent, an increase of 110 basis points from 79.6 percent for 3Q17. The year-over-year increase in the benefit ratio is primarily due to the impact of the following factors:

 

   

Retroactive contractual rate adjustments,

 

   

membership mix, including the continued migration of healthier groups to level-funded ASO products in 2018,

 

   

the unfavorable impact of seasonality on fully-insured group commercial medical claims, and

 

   

lower Prior Period Development.

The above items were partially offset by the reinstatement of the non-deductible health insurance industry fee in 2018 which was contemplated in the pricing of the company’s products.

 

   

The YTD 2018 benefit ratio for the segment of 78.0 percent was 10 basis points higher than the YTD 2017 ratio of 77.9 percent. The year-to-date comparison was impacted by the same factors affecting the third quarter comparison. The comparison was further impacted by the effect of lower premiums resulting from the second quarter 2018 adjustment to the company’s commercial risk adjustment accrual (CRA) related to its Affordable Care Act (ACA)-compliant business as a result of the release of the CMS’s final 2017 CRA data.

 

   

Prior Period Development for the Group and Specialty segment improved the 3Q18 segment benefit ratio by 40 basis points and improved the 3Q17 ratio by 80 basis points. Prior Period Development lowered the YTD 2018 segment benefit ratio by 80 basis points and by 90 basis points in YTD 2017.

Group and Specialty segment operating costs:

 

   

The Group and Specialty segment’s operating cost ratio was 23.6 percent in 3Q18, an increase of 270 basis points from 20.9 percent in 3Q17. The year-over-year comparison was primarily impacted by the following factors:

 

   

reinstatement of the non-deductible health insurance industry fee in 2018, which increased the segment’s operating cost ratio by approximately 160 basis points in 3Q18,

 

   

growth in the company’s military services business which carries a higher operating cost ratio than other products within the segment, as a result of the transition to the TRICARE East Region contract,

 

   

investments made in 3Q18 as a result of the Tax Reform Law as previously described, and

 

14


   

an increase in incentive compensation costs under the expanded program noted previously, resulting from the continued strong performance by the company.

The above items were partially offset by significant operating costs efficiencies in 3Q18 driven by productivity initiatives implemented in 2017.

 

   

The Group and Specialty segment’s operating cost ratio of 23.6 percent for YTD 2018 was up 230 basis points compared to 21.3 percent for YTD 2017. The year-over-year increase was primarily impacted by the same factors influencing the third quarter comparison. The reinstatement of the non-deductible health insurance industry fee impacted the segment’s YTD 2018 operating cost ratio by approximately 160 basis points.

The Group and Specialty segment’s GAAP segment earnings of $81 million in 3Q18 compared to GAAP segment earnings of $93 million in 3Q17, a decrease of $12 million, or 13 percent. Adjusted segment earnings for the Group and Specialty segment of $82 million in 3Q18 decreased $11 million, or 12 percent, from $93 million of Adjusted segment earnings in 3Q17. The decreases primarily reflect the impact of the segment’s higher benefit ratio in 3Q18. The declines were partially offset by a favorable year-over-year earnings comparison for the company’s military services business, which was favorably impacted by the timing of certain contractual incentives and adjustments.

 

   

The Group and Specialty segment’s GAAP segment earnings of $372 million in YTD 2018 compared to GAAP segment earnings of $365 million in YTD 2017, an increase of $7 million, or 2 percent. Adjusted segment earnings of $376 million in YTD 2018 increased $9 million, or 2 percent, from $367 million of Adjusted segment earnings in YTD 2017. The year-over-year increases for both GAAP and Adjusted segment earnings primarily reflect a favorable earnings comparison from the company’s group ASO commercial medical business, as well as higher year-over-year earnings in the military services business, which was favorably impacted by the timing of certain contractual incentives and adjustments. These increases were partially offset by a slightly higher segment benefit ratio in YTD 2018.

Humana’s Healthcare Services Segment

This segment includes services offered to the company’s health plan members as well as to third parties, including pharmacy solutions, provider services, and clinical programs, such as home health and other services and capabilities to promote wellness and advance population health, including the company’s investment in Kindred at Home. Services offered by this segment are designed to enhance members’ healthcare experience with Humana overall. These services may lead to lower utilization associated with improved member health and/or lower drug costs.

 

15


Healthcare Services segment revenues:

 

   

Revenues of $5.97 billion in 3Q18 for the Healthcare Services segment slightly decreased by $34 million, or 1 percent, from $6.00 billion in 3Q17. The year-over-year comparison was negatively impacted by the following:

 

   

the loss of intersegment revenues associated with the company’s exit from the individual commercial business,

 

   

a decline in pharmacy solutions intersegment revenue year-over-year primarily due to lower stand-alone PDP membership as previously described,

 

   

the result of improving the effectiveness of the company’s chronic care management programs discussed below, and

 

   

the impact on the company’s provider services business of the lower Medicare rates year-over-year in geographies where the company’s provider assets are primarily located.

These decreases were partially offset by strong Medicare Advantage membership growth in 2018 and higher intersegment revenues associated with the company’s provider services business reflecting its previously disclosed acquisition of MCCI Holdings, LLC (MCCI). A favorable year-over-year comparison of external services revenues, driven by growth in the company’s provider services and pharmacy solutions businesses, also helped to offset the impact of the declines noted above.

 

   

YTD 2018 revenues for the Healthcare Services segment were $17.62 billion, a decline of $320 million, or 2 percent, from $17.94 billion in YTD 2017 primarily reflecting the same factors affecting the year-over-year comparison for the third quarter.

Healthcare Services segment operating costs:

 

   

The Healthcare Services segment’s operating cost ratio of 96.1 percent in 3Q18 increased 50 basis points from 95.6 percent in 3Q17 primarily due to the following factors:

 

   

the lag in operating cost reductions associated with improving the effectiveness of the company’s chronic care management programs, as compared to the timing of the reduction in revenues,

 

   

investments made in 3Q18 as a result of the Tax Reform Law as previously described, and

 

   

an increase in incentive compensation costs under the expanded program noted previously, resulting from the continued strong performance by the company.

The above items were partially offset by significant operating costs efficiencies in 3Q18 driven by productivity initiatives implemented in 2017.

 

   

The Healthcare Services segment’s operating cost ratio of 96.2 percent for YTD 2018 increased 80 basis points from 95.4 percent in YTD 2017 primarily due to the same factors that impacted the year-over-year third quarter comparison.

 

16


Healthcare Services segment operating statistics:

 

   

Primary care providers in value-based (shared risk and path to risk) relationships of 52,300 at September 30, 2018 increased 2 percent from 51,500 at September 30, 2017, but remained relatively stable from 52,200 at December 31, 2017. The percentage of the company’s individual Medicare Advantage members in value-based relationships has remained stable at 66 percent as of September 30, 2018, September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2017.

 

   

Medicare Advantage and dual demonstration program membership enrolled in a Humana chronic care management program was 713,300 (i) at September 30, 2018, down 14 percent from 825,200 at September 30, 2017 and down 10 percent from 794,900 at December 31, 2017. The company continues to align the effectiveness of its chronic care management programs to the needs of members, leveraging technology and data analytics. This includes graduating members into a monitoring program as their health improves thereby reducing the number of member and clinician interactions to the appropriate level, and transitioning them out of the care management program when they no longer benefit from the services. This improvement in the programs leads to reduced Healthcare Services segment earnings but improved Retail segment operating results.

 

   

Pharmacy script volume on an adjusted 30-day equivalent basis of 110 million for 3Q18 increased 2 percent compared to 108 million for 3Q17. Pharmacy script volume of 328 million for YTD 2018 increased 2 percent compared to 323 million for YTD 2017. These increases primarily were driven by higher individual Medicare Advantage membership, partially offset by the decline in stand-alone PDP and Individual Commercial membership.

Healthcare Services segment results:

As noted in the second quarter 2018 earnings press release, the company has concluded that the most appropriate way to measure and discuss the financial performance of the Healthcare Services segment is through Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) rather than pretax income. As a result, the company has transitioned its financial reporting on the Healthcare Services segment to focus on Adjusted EBITDA performance. The table below reconciles GAAP segment earnings to Adjusted EBITDA.

The Healthcare Services segment’s GAAP segment earnings in 3Q18 decreased $25 million, or 10 percent, to $215 million compared to GAAP segment earnings of $240 million in 3Q17. The decrease resulted from the impact of the optimization process associated with the company’s chronic care management programs and investments made in 3Q18 as a result of the Tax Reform Law, partially offset by the impact of Kindred at Home.

 

17


Adjusted EBITDA in 3Q18 for the Healthcare Services segment of $282 million was up $8 million, or 3 percent, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $274 million in 3Q17. The increase in 3Q18 Adjusted EBITDA from 3Q17 Adjusted EBITDA primarily resulted from the impact of Kindred at Home, partially offset by the impact of the optimization process associated with the company’s chronic care management programs and investments made in 3Q18 as a result of the Tax Reform Law.

 

   

The Healthcare Services segment’s GAAP segment earnings in YTD 2018 decreased $160 million, or 21 percent, to $594 million compared to GAAP segment earnings of $754 million in YTD 2017. The decrease resulted from the same factors impacting the third quarter GAAP segment earnings comparison.

Adjusted EBITDA for YTD 2018 of $746 million decreased $111 million, or 13 percent, versus the YTD 2017 Adjusted EBITDA for the Healthcare Services segment of $857 million. The unfavorable comparison of Adjusted EBITDA year over year primarily resulted from the optimization process associated with the company’s chronic care management programs and investments made in 3Q18 as a result of the Tax Reform Law. These declines were partially offset by the impact of Kindred at Home.

Humana’s Individual Commercial Segment

This segment consisted of the company’s Individual Commercial products marketed under the HumanaOne brand. For 2017, the company offered on-exchange products as well as certain grandfathered policies issued prior to the enactment of the Health Care Reform Law. As announced in 2017, the company exited this business effective January 1, 2018. Results of this segment in 2018 reflect the run out of this business. Results of this segment have been excluded from Adjusted consolidated results.

Individual Commercial segment results:

 

   

Individual Commercial segment earnings of $5 million in 3Q18 compared to segment earnings of $26 million in 3Q17, a decline of $21 million. YTD 2018 segment earnings of $76 million were $131 million lower than YTD 2017 segment earnings of $207 million. The segment earnings in 3Q18 and YTD 2018 primarily reflect the impact of favorable Prior Period Development.

Generally, when the first day of a month falls on a weekend or holiday, with the exception of January 1 (New Year’s Day), the company receives its monthly Medicare premium payment from CMS on the last business day of the previous month. On a GAAP basis, this can result in certain quarterly cash flows from operations including more or less than three monthly payments. Consequently, when this occurs, the company reports Adjusted cash flows from operations to reflect three payments in each quarter to match the related expenses.

Cautionary Statement

This news release includes forward-looking statements regarding Humana within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in investor presentations, press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of one of Humana’s executive officers, the words or phrases like “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “likely will result,” “estimates,” “projects” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including, among other things, information set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the company’s SEC filings, a summary of which includes but is not limited to the following:

 

   

If Humana does not design and price its products properly and competitively, if the premiums Humana receives are insufficient to cover the cost of healthcare services delivered to its members, if the company is unable to implement clinical initiatives to provide a better healthcare experience for its members, lower costs and appropriately document the risk profile of its members, or if its estimates of benefits expense are inadequate, Humana’s profitability could be materially adversely affected. Humana estimates the costs of its benefit expense payments, and designs and prices its products accordingly, using actuarial methods and assumptions based upon, among other relevant factors, claim payment patterns, medical cost inflation, and historical developments such as claim inventory levels and claim receipt patterns. The company continually reviews estimates of future payments relating to benefit expenses for services incurred in the current and prior periods and makes necessary adjustments to its reserves, including premium deficiency reserves, where appropriate. These estimates, however, involve extensive judgment, and have considerable inherent variability because they are extremely sensitive to changes in claim payment patterns and medical cost trends, so any reserves the company may establish, including premium deficiency reserves, may be insufficient.

 

   

If Humana fails to effectively implement its operational and strategic initiatives, particularly its Medicare initiatives and state-based contract strategy, the company’s business may be materially adversely affected, which is of particular importance given the concentration of the company’s revenues in these products. In addition, there can be no assurances that the company will be successful in maintaining or improving its Star ratings in future years.

 

   

If Humana fails to properly maintain the integrity of its data, to strategically implement new information systems, to protect Humana’s proprietary rights to its systems, or to defend against cyber-security attacks, the company’s business may be materially adversely affected.

 

   

Humana is involved in various legal actions, or disputes that could lead to legal actions (such as, among other things, provider contract disputes relating to rate adjustments resulting from the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended, commonly referred to as “sequestration”; other provider contract disputes; and qui tam litigation brought by individuals on behalf of the government), governmental and internal investigations, and routine internal review of business processes any of which, if resolved unfavorably to the company, could result in substantial monetary damages or changes in its business practices. Increased litigation and negative publicity could also increase the company’s cost of doing business.

 

   

As a government contractor, Humana is exposed to risks that may materially adversely affect its business or its willingness or ability to participate in government healthcare programs including, among other things, loss of material government contracts, governmental audits and investigations, potential inadequacy of government determined payment rates, potential restrictions on profitability, including by comparison of profitability of the company’s Medicare Advantage business to non-Medicare Advantage business, or other changes in the governmental programs in which Humana participates. Changes to the risk-adjustment model utilized by CMS to adjust premiums paid to Medicare Advantage, or MA, plans according to the health status of covered members, including proposed changes to the methodology used by CMS for risk adjustment data validation audits that fail to address adequately the statutory requirement of actuarial equivalence, if implemented, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.

 

21


   

The Healthcare Reform Law, including The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and The Healthcare and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, could have a material adverse effect on Humana’s results of operations, including restricting revenue, enrollment and premium growth in certain products and market segments, restricting the company’s ability to expand into new markets, increasing the company’s medical and operating costs by, among other things, requiring a minimum benefit ratio on insured products, lowering the company’s Medicare payment rates and increasing the company’s expenses associated with a non-deductible health insurance industry fee and other assessments; the company’s financial position, including the company’s ability to maintain the value of its goodwill; and the company’s cash flows. Additionally, potential legislative changes, including activities to repeal or replace, in whole or in part, the Health Care Reform Law, creates uncertainty for Humana’s business, and when, or in what form, such legislative changes may occur cannot be predicted with certainty.

 

   

Humana’s business activities are subject to substantial government regulation. New laws or regulations, or changes in existing laws or regulations or their manner of application could increase the company’s cost of doing business and may adversely affect the company’s business, profitability and cash flows.

 

   

Humana’s failure to manage acquisitions, divestitures and other significant transactions successfully may have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

 

   

If Humana fails to develop and maintain satisfactory relationships with the providers of care to its members, the company’s business may be adversely affected.

 

   

Humana’s pharmacy business is highly competitive and subjects it to regulations in addition to those the company faces with its core health benefits businesses.

 

   

Changes in the prescription drug industry pricing benchmarks may adversely affect Humana’s financial performance.

 

   

If Humana does not continue to earn and retain purchase discounts and volume rebates from pharmaceutical manufacturers at current levels, Humana’s gross margins may decline.

 

   

Humana’s ability to obtain funds from certain of its licensed subsidiaries is restricted by state insurance regulations.

 

   

Downgrades in Humana’s debt ratings, should they occur, may adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

   

The securities and credit markets may experience volatility and disruption, which may adversely affect Humana’s business.

In making forward-looking statements, Humana is not undertaking to address or update them in future filings or communications regarding its business or results. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed herein may or may not occur. There also may be other risks that the company is unable to predict at this time. Any of these risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Humana advises investors to read the following documents as filed by the company with the SEC for further discussion both of the risks it faces and its historical performance:

 

   

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017;

 

   

Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018; June 30, 2018; and

 

   

Form 8-Ks filed during 2018.

Footnotes to Statistical Schedules and Supplementary Information

3Q18 Earnings Release

 

(A)

Put/call valuation adjustments associated with Humana’s 40% minority interest ownership in Kindred at Home

(B)

Net earnings associated with the company’s 40% minority interest ownership in Kindred at Home

(C)

The Medicaid and other category includes premiums associated with the company’s Medicaid and military services businesses as well as the closed block of long-term care insurance policies.

(D)

The ASO and other category is primarily comprised of Administrative Services Only (ASO) fees and other ancillary services fees, including military services unless separately disclosed.

(E)

Includes Medicaid Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), dual-eligible demonstration, and Long-Term Support Services (LTSS) from state-based contracts.

(F)

Other supplemental benefits include life, disability, and fixed benefit products including cancer and critical illness policies.

(G)

In certain circumstances, the company contracts with providers to accept financial risk for a defined set of Medicare Advantage membership. In transferring this risk, the company prepays these providers a monthly fixed-fee per member to coordinate substantially all of the medical care for their Medicare Advantage members assigned or attributed to their provider panel, including some health benefit administrative functions and claims processing. For these capitated Shared Risk arrangements, the company generally agrees to payment rates that target a benefit expense ratio. The result is a high level of engagement on the part of the provider.

(H)

A Path to Risk provider is one who has a high level of engagement and participates in one of Humana’s pay-for-performance programs (Model Practice or Medical Home) or has a risk contract in place with a trigger (future date or membership threshold) which has not yet been met. In addition to earning incentives, these providers may also have a shared savings component by which they can share in achieved surpluses when the actual cost of the medical services provided to patients assigned or attributed to their panel is less than the agreed upon medical expense target.

(I)

The 2018 amount primarily reflects services revenues under the TRICARE East Region contract which generally are contracted on a per-member basis. The 2017 amount primarily reflected services revenues associated with the TRICARE South Region contract, which generally were not contracted on a per-member basis.

(J)

Computed based on average membership for the period (i.e., monthly ending membership during the period divided by the number of months in the period).

(K)

Includes Medicare Advantage (including Special Needs Plans (SNP)) and dual-eligible demonstration program members enrolled in one of Humana’s chronic care programs. These members may be enrolled in Humana At Home Chronic Care Program (HCCP), Humana At Home Remote Monitoring, or an Advance Illness Support program. Members included in these programs may not be unique to each program since members have the ability to enroll in multiple programs. In addition, the members in the HCCP program may receive varying levels of care management based on their health status and needs, ranging from active care management to ongoing monitoring.

(L)

Reflects discharges enrolled in Humana’s 30-day care management services, which supports members after they are discharged home from a hospital or other facility. The program is aimed at individuals at high-risk for re-hospitalization. Care managers visit and call members at home to ensure they have and understand correct prescriptions, their doctors are informed about members’ changed status, and that members are either self-managing adequately or are referred to appropriate ongoing services.

(M)

Script volume is presented on an adjusted 30-day equivalent basis.

(N)

Represents reinsurance recoverables associated with the company’s state-based Medicaid contract in Kentucky.

(O)

Amounts incurred related to prior years vary from previously estimated liabilities as the claims ultimately are settled. Negative amounts reported for incurred related to prior years result from claims being ultimately settled for amounts less than originally estimated (favorable development). There were no changes in the approach used to determine the company’s estimate of medical claim reserves during the quarter.

(P)

Future policy benefit expense has a related liability classified as a long-term liability on the balance sheet. Prior year amounts reflect the release of reserves for future policy benefits as individual medical members transitioned to plans compliant with the Affordable Care Act.

(Q)

A common metric for monitoring benefits payable levels relative to benefits expense is days in claims payable (DCP). The company calculates DCP using the quarterly reported benefits expense and benefits payable balances as presented within the company’s consolidated financial statements.

(R)

DCP fluctuates due to a number of factors, the more significant of which are detailed in this rollforward. Growth in certain product lines can also impact DCP for the quarter since a provision for claims would not have been recorded for members that had not yet enrolled earlier in the quarter, yet those members would have a provision and corresponding medical claims reserve recorded upon enrollment later in the quarter.

(S)

Provider accruals represent portions of capitation payments set aside to pay future settlements for capitated providers. Related settlements generally happen over a 12-month period.

(T)

Represents medical and specialty claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) for non-pharmacy fully-insured products and excludes the impact of the Individual Commercial segment.

(U)

Represents Individual Commercial medical IBNR (on-exchange, off-exchange, and legacy), as well as the impact of any premium deficiency reserves related to this block of business.

(V)

Represents pharmacy claims expense including payments to the company’s pharmacy benefit manager for prescription drugs filled on behalf of Humana’s members, as well as government subsidized programs from Medicare Part D such as low income cost and reinsurance subsidies, as well as coverage gap discount programs.

(W)

Includes processed claims that are in the post claim adjudication process, which consists of operating functions such as audit, check batching and check handling. These claims are included in IBNR lags, but have not yet been mailed or released from Humana.

(X)

Includes non-lagged reserves such as ASO stop loss, life reserves, and accidental death and dismemberment/accident and health. Also includes an explicit provision for uncertainty (also called a provision for adverse deviation) intended to ensure the unpaid claim liabilities are adequate under moderately adverse conditions.
