MOLINA HEALTHCARE REPORTS
THIRD QUARTER 2008 RESULTS


Net earnings of $0.62 per diluted share, consistent with the third quarter of 2007.
Year-to-date earnings of $1.67 per diluted share, up 17% over 2007.
Quarterly premium revenues of $792 million, up 26% over 2007.
 
Aggregate membership up nearly 16% over 2007.
 
2008 guidance confirmed at range of $2.20 to $2.40 per diluted share.


Long Beach, California (October 22, 2008) – Molina Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: MOH) today reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008 was $17.2 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared with net income of $17.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased to $46.9 million, or $1.67 per diluted share, compared with net income of $40.4 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, for the nine months period ended September 30, 2007.

In commenting on the results, J. Mario Molina, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Molina Healthcare, said, “Our results continue to reflect strong revenue growth, continued enrollment growth, and consistent administrative efficiency.  In addition, as we have observed during our 28-year history, a weakening economy is generally accompanied by an increase in the number of Medicaid beneficiaries.  We stand ready to assist our state and federal partners in providing high quality accessible healthcare to those most deeply affected by the current economic downturn.”

2008 Earnings Per Share Guidance

The Company confirms the guidance it had previously issued on July 23, 2008 for fiscal year 2008 earnings per diluted share of between $2.20 and $2.40.  For the fourth quarter and year ended 2008, the Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 41%.  The Company expects its shares outstanding, for the purpose of calculating diluted EPS, to be approximately 27.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and 27.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Financial Results – Comparison of Quarters Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

Premium revenue for the third quarter of 2008 was $791.6 million, an increase of $163.2 million, or 26%, over the $628.4 million of premium revenue for the third quarter of 2007.  Medicare premium revenue for the third quarter of 2008 was $28.1 million compared with $12.7 million in the third quarter of 2007.  Excluding the impact of the November 1, 2007 acquisition of the Missouri plan, consolidated membership increased 8.6% between September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007.

Significant contributors to the $163.2 million increase in quarterly premium revenue included the following:

 
A $59.2 million increase as a result of the acquisition of the Company’s Missouri health plan on November 1, 2007.  The Missouri health plan received a blended rate increase of approximately 8.5% effective July 1, 2008.

A $37.1 million increase at the Ohio health plan due to higher enrollment, particularly in the Covered Families and Children (CFC) population.  Effective September 1, 2008, the Ohio health plan added approximately 4,000 Aged, Blind or Disabled (ABD) members in the Central and West Central regions.

A $15.4 million increase in Medicare premium revenue across all health plans, primarily due to increased enrollment and the recognition of $2.6 million in risk adjustment revenue.

An $8.2 million increase in Medicaid revenue at the California health plan, primarily due to increased membership.  The California health plan’s Medicaid revenue decreased $1.3 million from the second quarter of 2008.  Sequentially, premium revenue on a per member per month basis declined approximately 3%, reflecting the rate cuts implemented by the state of California for the period July 1, 2008 through August 17, 2008.  Premium revenue for the California health plan has been recorded at rates in effect immediately prior to July 1, 2008 for the period August 18, 2008 through September 30, 2008, as the result of a court injunction issued on August 18, 2008.

A $4.3 million increase in Medicaid premium revenue at the Michigan health plan, primarily due to $3.7 million in supplemental revenue from the Michigan Department of Community Health. The supplemental revenue is intended to offset the unintended effects of the Michigan Business Tax (MBT) that replaced Michigan’s Single Business Tax (SBT) as of January 1, 2008.

The unintended effect of the MBT is the taxation of both the premiums and the net income of health plans, driving the effective federal and state combined tax rate on the Company’s Michigan health plan to nearly 49%.  The supplemental revenue is intended to offset MBT’s taxation of gross receipts for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Effective October 1, 2008, the Michigan health plan received an estimated blended rate increase of approximately 5.5%, plus an additional increase of approximately 0.9% for ongoing MBT relief.  The rate increase is tied to an expansion of benefits and coverage that will result in increased medical care costs for the Michigan health plan in the future.

After allowing for the supplemental revenue and the aforementioned ongoing MBT relief, we anticipate our 2008 Michigan tax expense will be approximately $0.5 million higher (before federal tax benefit) than the amount computed using the SBT methodology.

Medical care costs as a percentage of premium revenue (the medical care ratio) increased to 84.6% in the third quarter of 2008 from 83.7% in the third quarter of 2007.  Sequentially, the medical care ratio increased from 84.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  Excluding Medicare, the Company’s medical care ratio was 84.9% in the third quarter of 2008, 83.8% in the third quarter of 2007, and 84.2% in the second quarter of 2008.

 
The medical care ratio of the Missouri health plan was 80.6% for the quarter, down from 83.0% in the second quarter of 2008.  The premium increase discussed above was partially offset by increased unit costs due to revised provider contracts and a fee schedule increase effective July 1, 2008.

The medical care ratio of the California health plan increased to 89.1% in the third quarter of 2008 from 82.1% in the third quarter of 2007 and 84.9% in the second quarter of 2008.  The increase in the plan’s medical care ratio was caused primarily by a decrease in premium rates as discussed above and higher fee-for-service and pharmacy costs.

The medical care ratio of the New Mexico health plan increased to 87.4% in the third quarter of 2008 from 78.6% in the third quarter of 2007 and 78.0% in the second quarter of 2008.  The sequential increase was primarily due to the reduced benefit from the release of amounts reserved as a result of the minimum medical cost ratio provision in the New Mexico health plan’s state contract.  The Company recognized $6.2 million under this provision in the second quarter of 2008, and none for the third quarter of 2008.  Additionally, the New Mexico health plan received a blended rate decrease of approximately 3% effective July 1, 2008 for its non-Medicare programs.
 
The medical care ratio of the Ohio health plan, by line of business, was as follows:

Aggregate
    91.5 %     91.0 %     88.8 %

Sequentially, the medical care ratio for the CFC line of business decreased 80 basis points primarily due to lower capitation and pharmacy costs.  The sequential increase in the medical care ratio for the ABD line of business was due primarily to higher specialist fee-for-service costs.

Effective September 1, 2008, the Ohio health plan will receive risk adjustments to its ABD premium rates.  The Company estimates that these adjustments will result in a net increase to premium revenue of approximately $500,000 per month from September 1st onward.  Additionally, the Company has re-negotiated certain provider contracts in the Central region of Ohio, which it believes will reduce unit costs beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The medical care ratio of the Texas health plan increased to 79.8% in the third quarter of 2008 from 76.2% in the third quarter of 2007.  This increase was primarily due to higher hospital fee-for-service costs.  During the third quarter of 2008, the Texas health plan increased revenue $1.3 million to record adjustments relating to its profit-sharing agreement with the state of Texas.

The medical care ratio of the Washington health plan decreased to 76.5% in the third quarter of 2008 from 79.2% in the third quarter of 2007, primarily due to lower fee-for-service hospital costs.
 
Days in medical claims and benefits payable were 44 days at September 30, 2008, a 6% decrease from the 47 days reported at June 30, 2008, and a 19% decrease from the 54 days reported at September 30, 2007.  As of September 30, 2008, medical claims inventory (measured as the total billed charges of all claims received but not paid as of the reporting date) has decreased approximately 30% since June 30, 2008, and 37% since September 30, 2007.  The Company’s reserving methodology is consistently applied across all periods presented.

General and administrative expenses were $88.0 million, or 11.1% of total revenue, for the third quarter of 2008 compared with $74.2 million, or 11.7% of total revenue, for the third quarter of 2007.

Core G&A expenses (defined as G&A expenses less premium taxes) were 8.0% of revenue in the third quarter of 2008 compared with 8.4% in the third quarter of 2007 and 8.2% in the second quarter of 2008.  The decrease in core G&A compared with the third quarter of 2007 was primarily due to lower administrative payroll as a percentage of revenue, as indicated in the table below.

Income taxes were recorded at an effective rate of 39.6% in the third quarter of 2008 compared with 38.1% in the third quarter of 2007.  The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate was primarily the result of a change in Michigan state taxes effective January 1, 2008.  The Company expects its effective tax rate for the fourth quarter and all of fiscal year 2008 to be approximately 41%.

Cash Flow

Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $20.3 million compared with cash provided by operating activities of $112.8 million for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $133.1 million.  Significant contributors to this decrease included the following:

A $40.5 million increase in the California health plan receivable as of September 30, 2008, due to the delayed passage of the California state budget for 2008-2009.  Until the budget was passed on September 23, 2008, the state of California had ceased paying its vendors for the previous two months’ billings.  Substantially all receivables due the California health plan at September 30, 2008 were collected in October 2008.

The timing of the receipt of premiums recorded as deferred revenue in the Ohio and Utah health plans, netting to a total decline of $44.9 million year-over-year.
 
In 2007, the ramp up of operations and medical claims and benefits payable of the Company’s Texas and Ohio health plans compared with less significant changes in medical claims and benefits payable for these plans in 2008, netting to a decline of $31.5 million year-over-year.

The reversal of $12.9 million of accrued costs relating to the minimum medical care ratio contract provision in New Mexico in the first six months of 2008.

At September 30, 2008, the Company had cash and investments (not including restricted investments) of approximately $609.9 million, including auction rate securities with a fair value of $63.8 million that were reclassified as non-current assets in the first quarter of 2008.  While these auction rate securities are collateralized by student loan portfolios guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Company believes that the market for these may take in excess of 12 months to fully recover.  At September 30, 2008, the parent company had cash and investments of approximately $83.4 million, including auction rate securities with a fair value of $18.5 million.

The Company calculates EBITDA by adding back depreciation and amortization expense to operating income.  EBITDA is not prepared in conformity with GAAP since it excludes depreciation and amortization expense, as well as interest expense, and the provision for income taxes.  This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, operating margin, or cash provided by operating activities.  Management uses EBITDA as a supplemental metric in evaluating our 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 our performance and the performance of other companies in our industry.

Share Repurchase Program

During the third quarter of 2008, the Company repurchased approximately 91,000 shares of its common stock for $2.7 million (average cost of approximately $29.97 per share).  Shares used for computing diluted earnings per share for the third quarters of 2008 and 2007 were 27.6 million and 28.4 million, respectively.

Through October 17, 2008, the Company has repurchased approximately 1.7 million shares at an aggregate purchase price of $45 million pursuant to the two share repurchase programs announced during the year.

CHANGE IN MEDICAL CLAIMS AND BENEFITS PAYABLE
(Dollars in thousands)
(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, variation 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 years” represent the amount by which our original estimate of claims and benefits payable at the beginning of the period exceeded the actual amount of the liability based on information (principally the payment of claims) developed since that liability was first reported.  The benefit of this prior period development may be offset by the addition of a reserve for adverse claims development when estimating the liability at the end of the period (captured in “Components of medical care costs related to: Current year”).  The following table shows the components of the change in medical claims and benefits payable for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 (dollar amounts in thousands):
