LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 2007--Molina Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: MOH) today announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, increased to $17.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared with net income of $12.3 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, increased to $40.4 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, compared with net income of $34.1 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, for the same nine months of 2006.
Commenting on the results, J. Mario Molina, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Molina Healthcare, Inc., said, "Higher enrollment at our Ohio and Texas HMOs, modest rate increases and improvements to our medical care costs have all contributed to our strong third quarter financial results. We are pleased that these results confirm our philosophy that quality health care and cost-effectiveness are not mutually exclusive aims. We believe this philosophy was also validated when Molina's subsidiary Medicaid health plans in New Mexico and Utah were recently ranked by U.S. News & World Report as among "America's Best Health Plans," which was compiled in collaboration with the National Committee for Quality Assurance."
Earnings Per Share Guidance
The Company also announced that it is increasing its previously issued earnings per diluted share guidance for fiscal year 2007 to between $1.90 and $2.00. The Company had most recently issued guidance for fiscal year 2007 in the range of $1.85 to $1.95 per diluted share.
Although many factors affect its financial results, the Company believes that the following factors have been the most influential in changing its earnings outlook since guidance was last issued on September 12, 2007:
- The increased revenue resulting from rate increases for San Bernardino and Riverside counties effective October 1, 2007;
- Better-than-anticipated medical cost performance in Washington, New Mexico, and Texas;
- The November 1st closing of the Company's acquisition of Mercy CarePlus in Missouri. Previously issued guidance did not include any benefit from the acquisition of Mercy CarePlus;
- The impact on investment income and interest expense of the Company's recent issuance of $200 million in convertible senior notes, as well as the impact on investment income of declining interest rates; and
- Uncertainty surrounding any rate increase in Michigan as a result of state budget issues.
The revised guidance does not take into account the increase to the Company's interest expense that would result if the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopts the proposed FASB Staff Position 14-a, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)."
Financial Results - Comparison of Quarters Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
Premium revenue for the third quarter of 2007 was $628.4 million, an increase of $116.3 million, or 22.7%, over premium revenue of $512.1 million for the third quarter of 2006. Among the factors increasing premium revenue between the third quarter of 2007 and the third quarter of 2006 were:
- Increased enrollment at the Ohio and Texas health plans. The Ohio health plan contributed $125.5 million in premium revenue in the third quarter of 2007, an increase of $104.5 million from a year ago. The Texas health plan, which commenced operations in September 2006, contributed $25.0 million in premium revenue in the third quarter of 2007 and less than $0.3 million in September 2006.
- Increased revenue of approximately $14.0 million at the New Mexico health plan due to:
- A rate increase of approximately 5% effective July 1, 2007;
- Increased enrollment; and
- A one time out-of-period increase to revenue of approximately $2.2 million. This adjustment was made to reduce the amount the Company estimated was owed back to the state for the two-year period ending June 30, 2007, based upon direct medical costs incurred during that period.
The following items served to decrease premium revenue for the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006:
- Termination of operations at the Company's Indiana health plan effective January 1, 2007. The Indiana health plan contributed no premium revenue in the third quarter of 2007 compared with $24.6 million in premium revenue in the third quarter of 2006.
- Reduced revenue of approximately $11.8 million at the Utah health plan due to:
- Lower enrollment;
- Lower medical costs, which reduced revenue under the Utah health plan's cost-plus reimbursement contract; and
- An out-of-period reduction of approximately $1.7 million to the amount receivable under a savings sharing agreement with the state. The amount of the receivable for this item has been reduced from approximately $4.7 million at June 30, 2007, to $3.0 million at September 30, 2007. The Utah health plan continues to work with the state in an effort to assure an appropriate determination of amounts due under the savings sharing agreement.
Medical care costs as a percentage of premium revenue (the medical care ratio) decreased to 83.7% in the third quarter of 2007 from 84.1% in the third quarter of 2006, an improvement of 40 basis points year-over-year. Sequentially, the medical care ratio decreased from 85.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, an improvement of 140 basis points. The Company believes that its medical care ratio is normally at its lowest during the third quarter of any given fiscal year as a result of seasonality in medical care utilization.
The most significant developments regarding medical care costs in the third quarter of 2007 were:
- An improvement in the medical care ratios of the Ohio and Texas health plans. The medical care ratio of the Ohio health plan declined to 88.8% in the third quarter of 2007 from 97.6% in the third quarter of 2006 and 91.1% in the second quarter of 2007. The medical care ratio of the Texas health plan declined to 76.2% in the third quarter of 2007 from 91.3% in the second quarter of 2007. The Texas health plan did not have significant premium revenue or medical expense in the third quarter of 2006. The Company believes that the medical care costs of its Ohio and Texas health plans are developing as anticipated, although the medical care costs of its Texas plan have been somewhat better than anticipated. Nevertheless, the limited claims payment experience for the many members who have been added during 2007 adds a degree of uncertainty to the medical care cost estimates in both Ohio and Texas that is not found with the Company's more mature health plans.
- An improvement in the medical care ratio of the New Mexico health plan as a result of a 1.5% increase to per member per month medical care costs compared with the third quarter of 2006 and the increases to premium revenue discussed above.
- An improvement in the medical care ratio of the California health plan as a result of a 5% decrease to per member per month medical care costs compared with the third quarter of 2006, and increases to premium revenue that took effect during the first half of 2007, particularly in San Diego County.
- Increases in the medical care ratios of the Washington and Michigan health plans when compared with the third quarter of 2006. The Company believes that the medical care ratios experienced by the Washington and Michigan health plans in the third quarter of 2006 were not reasonably sustainable on a long-term basis.
- The termination of operations in Indiana. The Indiana health plan had a medical care ratio of 103.1% in the third quarter of 2006.
The Company's days in claims payable were 54 days at September 30, 2007, June 30, 2007, and September 30, 2006.
General and administrative expenses were $74.2 million, or 11.7% of total revenue, for the third quarter of 2007 as compared with $60.5 million, or 11.7% of total revenue, for the third quarter of 2006.
Core G&A expenses (defined as G&A expenses less premium taxes) decreased to 8.4% of revenue in the third quarter of 2007 compared with 8.6% in the third quarter of 2006, but increased from 7.7% in the second quarter of 2007.
The increase in Core G&A in comparison with the second quarter of 2007 is primarily the result of increases to bonus accruals as a result of the Company's improved financial performance in 2007 as well as the Company's continued investment in the administrative infrastructure necessary to support its Medicare product line. Absent the additional bonus expense recorded in the third quarter of 2007, the Core G&A Ratio would have been 7.8% compared with 7.7% in the second quarter of 2007.
Financial Results - Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
Premium revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $1,791.8 million, an increase of $350.6 million, or 24.3%, over premium revenue of $1,441.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in premium revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was driven by increased membership in the Company's Ohio and Texas health plans and by the acquisition of Cape Health Plan in Michigan effective May 15, 2006.
Medical care costs as a percentage of premium revenue (the medical care ratio) increased to 84.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, from 84.4% in the same nine-month period of 2006, a deterioration of 40 basis points, principally as a result of the higher medical care costs of the Company's Ohio and Texas health plans.
General and administrative expenses were $204.8 million, or 11.3% of total revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared with $168.0 million, or 11.5% of total revenue, for the same nine-month period of 2006.
Core G&A expenses decreased to 8.0% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with 8.5% in the same nine-month period of 2006.
Cash Flow
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $113.3 million, as compared with $67.2 million for the same period in 2006, an increase of $46.1 million. The primary sources of cash provided by operating activities were increased net income, increased deferred revenue at the Ohio health plan, the timing of payments for medical claims and benefits payable, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
On a consolidated basis, at September 30, 2007, the Company had cash and investments (exclusive of restricted investments) of approximately $555.8 million. The parent company had cash and investments of approximately $24.0 million. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company issued $200 million in senior convertible notes. A portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes was used to pay off the $20.0 million owed on the Company's credit facility at September 30, 2007. The Company also used $80.0 million of the net proceeds in connection with its acquisition of Mercy CarePlus in Missouri.

========== ==========
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. Accordingly, any benefit recognized in medical care costs resulting from favorable development of an estimated liability at the start of the period (captured as a component of "medical care costs related to prior years") may be offset by the addition of an allowance for adverse claims development when estimating the liability at the end of the period (captured as a component of "medical care costs related to current year"). During the second quarter of 2006, the Company recognized a net benefit in medical care costs of approximately $5.0 million due to favorable development of its medical claims liability at December 31, 2005.
