Long Beach, California (October 28, 2009) – Molina Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: MOH) today reported net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, of $8.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with net income of $16.5 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
“Our results in the quarter reflect the continuing rise in influenza-like illness across the nation, particularly the dramatic surge that has occurred since September as children have returned to school,” said J. Mario Molina, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Molina Healthcare. “We also continue to be adversely affected by state budget pressures and the resulting compressed profit margins of our health plans. Although we continue to believe the long-term prospects for our company are promising, the near-term uncertainty created by this unprecedented confluence of factors is likely to continue throughout the fourth quarter.”
2009 Medical Cost and Earnings Guidance Withdrawn
The Company currently believes that it will not achieve its previously announced fiscal year 2009 earnings guidance of $2.15 per diluted share. Due to several factors that make it particularly difficult to predict the Company’s short-term medical costs and earnings, including the 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic (and the resulting Declaration of National Emergency by the President), higher utilization associated with new members, and state budgetary shortfalls, including the uncertainty surrounding the Michigan state budget, the Company is withdrawing those elements of its 2009 guidance related to its medical care costs and earnings. The Company’s 2009 guidance, which was provided in its second quarter earnings release on August 4, 2009, remains unchanged with respect to its premium revenue, investment income, core G&A, administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, total membership, diluted shares outstanding, and effective tax rate.

Overview of Financial Results
Note: Estimates of utilization and unit costs may not match changes in reported costs due to the impact of shifts in case mix between the periods presented, prior period development, the existence of pass-through contracts in which third parties assume medical risk, and other factors. Additionally, estimates of utilization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, exclude the month of September 2009 due to the substantial incompleteness of claims payment data for that month.
Third Quarter 2009 Compared with Third Quarter 2008
Net income in the third quarter of 2009 decreased 48% to $8.6 million compared with net income of $16.5 million in the third quarter of 2008.
California health plan results have continued to exert downward pressure on the Company’s current quarter and year-to-date results. The California health plan lost approximately $4.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009.
The California health plan is currently engaged in a number of efforts to improve its profitability. These efforts include provider re-contracting, the restructuring of provider networks, and tighter utilization management. The California health plan has terminated and/or renegotiated certain of its high-cost providers. However, because the effective date of the terminations was late in the third quarter or will occur in the fourth quarter, the benefit of the expected cost savings will not be seen until the fourth quarter of 2009, at the earliest. The California health plan may also selectively reduce membership in certain regions of the state that are operating at a loss. Effective October 1, 2009, the California health plan received a combination of premium rate increases and premium tax relief under its contracts with the state that will combine to improve margins by approximately 4.9%. This premium relief will provide an immediate benefit to the health plan’s performance in the fourth quarter. The Company remains committed to the California market due to its size, long-term potential, and barriers to entry.
Premium revenue grew 16% in the third quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2008. Membership grew 14% overall, with Florida, California, Washington, and Ohio gaining the most members. On a per-member per-month, or PMPM, basis, consolidated premium revenue increased 2%. Increased membership contributed 87% of the growth in premium revenue in the third quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2008, and increases in PMPM revenue, as a result of both rate changes and shifts in member mix, contributed the remaining 13%.
Despite the increase in premium revenue in the third quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2008, premium revenue decreased by $10.7 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared with the second quarter of 2009. Premium revenue decreased approximately $10.00 PMPM sequentially as a result of premium decreases in Michigan (approximately 1.4% effective July 1, 2009) and Washington (approximately 7% effective August 1, 2009). In both states, rates under the Medicaid fee schedule were reduced in a manner the Company believes to be commensurate with the reduction in premium rates. Member mix and utilization patterns at the Michigan and Washington health plans, however, may differ from the assumptions built into the states’ rate development methodologies. Through September 30, 2009, the Company did not have sufficient claims data to determine the ultimate impact on its earnings of the reduction in premium revenue and medical costs in Michigan and Washington. During the third quarter of 2009, the Texas health plan recorded adjustments to decrease premium revenue by $7.8 million relating to a profit-sharing provision in its agreement with the state of Texas. Effective September 1, 2009, the Florida health plan received a blended premium rate increase of approximately 3%. Effective October 1, 2009, the Company transitioned approximately 9,000 CHIP members from another health plan into its Texas health plan.

Investment income for the third quarter of 2009 was $1.7 million, a $3.1 million decrease from the $4.8 million in investment income earned in the third quarter of 2008. This 64% decline was due primarily to lower interest rates.
Medical care costs, in the aggregate, increased approximately 5% on a PMPM basis in the third quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2008. Medical care costs as a percentage of premium revenue (the medical care ratio) were 86.7% for the third quarter of 2009 compared with 84.6% for the third quarter of 2008. Excluding the California health plan, the medical care ratio increased to 85.8% during the third quarter of 2009 compared with 83.9% during the third quarter of 2008. Medical costs trends were consistent with those identified by the Company in its earnings release for the second quarter of 2009. Specifically, increased expenses were generally the result of higher utilization rather than higher unit costs (except in the case of outpatient costs, where both utilization and unit costs increased) and were most pronounced in connection with physician and outpatient costs. The 2009 H1N1 flu and the costs associated with more recently enrolled members were key factors in the higher utilization.
Physician and outpatient costs exhibited the most significant unfavorable cost trend in the third quarter of 2009. Together, these costs increased nearly 9% on a PMPM basis compared with the third quarter of 2008. The primary drivers of these increased costs were emergency room utilization (up approximately 6%) and cost per visit (up approximately 9%). This increase in utilization was most pronounced in the California and Michigan health plans.
Inpatient facility costs decreased approximately 5% PMPM compared with the third quarter of 2008, despite increased utilization.
Pharmacy costs increased approximately 4% PMPM compared with the third quarter of 2008. Pharmacy utilization increased approximately 5% year-over-year, while unit costs (excluding rebates) decreased approximately 1%.
Capitated costs increased approximately 9% PMPM compared with the third quarter of 2008 as a result of rate increases received for members capitated on a percentage of premium basis at the New Mexico health plan and the transition of members into capitated arrangements at the California health plan.
Days in medical claims and benefits payable were 37 days at September 30, 2009, 39 days at June 30, 2009, and 44 days at September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2009, billed charges in ending claims inventory have declined approximately 1%, and the number of claims in ending inventory has declined approximately 18% compared with September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2009, billed charges in ending inventory have declined approximately 16% ($28 million), and the number of claims in inventory has declined approximately 8% compared with June 30, 2009.
Core G&A expenses (defined as G&A expenses less premium taxes) were 7.5% of revenue in the third quarter of 2009 compared with 8.0% in the third quarter of 2008 and 7.0% in the second quarter of 2009. Year-over-year, premium revenue grew faster than administrative costs, causing administrative costs, as a percentage of revenue, to decrease. Sequentially, there was a slight increase in the core G&A ratio as a result of the sequential premium revenue decrease described above. On a PMPM basis, core G&A increased slightly to $16.35 in the third quarter of 2009 compared with $16.04 in the second quarter of 2009.

Interest expense for both periods presented includes non-cash interest expense relating to the Company’s convertible senior notes, as a result of the adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The amounts recorded for this additional interest expense totaled $1.2 million ($0.03 per diluted share) for both the third quarter of 2009 and the third quarter of 2008.
Income taxes were recorded at an effective rate of 34.1% in the third quarter of 2009 compared with 39.7% in the third quarter of 2008. The Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, primarily related to higher than previously estimated tax credits and a reassessment of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits based on recent examination experience and other factors. The Company’s tax rate would have been 42% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, absent these discrete tax benefits.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008
Net income decreased 21% to $35.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with net income of $44.8 million in the same period of 2008.
The California health plan lost approximately $15.2 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. As described above, the California health plan is taking several steps to improve its profitability and will benefit in the fourth quarter from a combination of rate increase and premium tax relief that will combine to improve margins by approximately 4.9%, effective October 1, 2009.
Premium revenue grew approximately 18% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008. Consolidated premium revenue increased 6% on a PMPM basis. Increased membership contributed 67% of the growth in premium revenue.
Investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was $7.3 million, a $10.2 million decrease from the $17.5 million earned in the same period in 2008. This 58% decline was primarily due to lower interest rates in 2009. The Company’s annualized portfolio yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, decreased to 1.4% compared with 3.3% for the same period in 2008.
Medical care costs, in the aggregate, increased approximately 8% on a PMPM basis in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008. The medical care ratio was 86.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with 84.9% for the same period in 2008. Excluding the California health plan, the medical care ratio increased to 85.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with 84.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Specifically, increased expenses were generally the result of higher utilization rather than higher unit costs (except in the case of outpatient costs, where both utilization and unit costs increased) and were most pronounced in connection with physician and outpatient costs. The 2009 H1N1 flu and the costs associated with more recently enrolled members were key factors in the higher utilization.
Analysis of claims paid through September 30, 2009, indicates that, on a consolidated basis, the claims reserve established at December 31, 2008, was adequate.

Physician and outpatient costs exhibited the most significant unfavorable cost trend in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Together, these costs increased approximately 12% on a PMPM basis compared with the same period in 2008. Consistent with the Company’s experience throughout 2009, emergency room utilization (up approximately 6%) and cost per visit (up approximately 12%) were the primary drivers of increased cost in the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
The Company continues to observe hospitals billing for more intensive levels of care than in the same period in 2008. The billing codes for emergency room level of care – with Level 1 reflecting the least intensive care and Level 5 reflecting the most intensive care – changed significantly in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008. As indicated in the following table, Level 1 and Level 2 visits decreased by 16% and 11%, respectively, while Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5 visits increased by 10%, 11%, and 13%, respectively. The Company continues to compile and analyze the data relevant to this apparent up-coding of emergency room claims and will be meeting with regulators and individual hospitals to ensure that emergency room medical care is billed appropriately.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009, v. Same Period in 2008 | -16% | -11% | 10% | 11% | 13% |
Inpatient costs increased less than 1% PMPM year-over-year despite increased utilization.
Pharmacy costs increased approximately 4% PMPM year-over-year. Pharmacy utilization increased approximately 5% year-over-year while unit costs (excluding rebates) increased by approximately 1%.
Capitated costs increased approximately 11% PMPM year-over-year, primarily as a result of rate increases received for members capitated on a percentage of premium basis at the New Mexico health plan and the transition of members into capitated arrangements in California.
Core G&A expenses were 7.4% of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with 8.0% in the same period in 2008. Year-over-year, premium revenue grew faster than administrative costs, causing administrative costs, as a percentage of revenue, to decrease. On a PMPM basis, core G&A decreased to $16.38 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from $16.90 for the same period in 2008.
Interest expense for both nine-month periods includes non-cash interest expense relating to the Company’s convertible senior notes, as a result of the adoption of ASC Subtopic 470-20. The amounts recorded for this additional interest expense totaled $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, ($0.08 per diluted share) and $3.5 million for the same period in 2008 ($0.08 per diluted share).
Income taxes were recorded at an effective rate of 31.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with 40.5% for the same period in 2008. The Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $5.5 million as a result of settling tax examinations, a reassessment of the tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits, higher than previously estimated tax credits, and the voluntary filing of certain accounting method changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The Company’s tax rate would have been 42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, absent these discrete tax benefits.

Cash Flow
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was $130 million compared with cash used in operating activities of $20 million for 2008, an increase of $150 million.
Significant contributors to this increase included the following:
· | Increased deferred revenue of $82.3 million, primarily due to the timing of the Ohio health plan’s receipt of premium payments from the state of Ohio; |
· | Increased medical claims and benefits payable of $23.5 million, primarily due to the commencement of operations of the Company’s Florida health plan in 2009; and |
· | Increased collections of accounts receivable totaling $42.7 million, primarily relating to California health plan. In the prior year, there was a significant increase in the California health plan receivable due to the delayed passage of the California state budget for 2008-2009. |
At September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and investments (not including restricted investments) of $679.5 million, including non-current auction rate securities with a fair value of $59.9 million. At September 30, 2009, the parent company had unrestricted cash and investments of $54.4 million, including auction rate securities with a fair value of $16.7 million. At December 31, 2008, the parent company had unrestricted cash and investments of $68.9 million.

EBITDA is not prepared in conformity with GAAP since it excludes the provisions for income taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. 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 metric in evaluating the Company’s 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 the Company’s performance and the performance of other companies in our industry. |

CHANGE IN MEDICAL CLAIMS AND BENEFITS PAYABLE
(Dollars in thousands, except per-member amounts)
(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 periods” represent the amount by which the Company’s 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 period”). The following table shows the components of the change in medical claims and benefits payable as of the periods indicated:
