MAGELLAN HEALTH SERVICES REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER 2009 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Company Affirms 2009 Earnings Guidance
AVON, Conn. – April 30, 2009 – Magellan Health Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:MGLN) today reported net income of $13.6 million, or $.37 per diluted common share, and segment profit of $39.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company also confirmed that it expects to end the year within its previously provided ranges of segment profit of $190 million to $210 million and earnings per share of $1.99 to $2.54, reflecting share repurchases executed through April 7, 2009.
Financial Results
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company reported net revenue of $619.5 million and net income of $13.6 million, or $.37 per diluted common share. For the prior year quarter, net revenue was $650.3 million and net income was $17.2 million or $.43 per diluted common share. Segment profit (which represents income from continuing operations before stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, gain on sale of assets, special charges or benefits, and income taxes) for the current year quarter was $39.1 million, compared with $51.7 million in the prior year quarter. The Company ended the quarter with unrestricted cash and investments of $278.0 million.
See the attached tables detailing the Company’s operating results, including results by segment.
René Lerer, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer, said, “Magellan turned in a solid quarter that was consistent with our overall expectations. Our specialty pharmaceutical segment, in particular, performed well on the strength of its core rebate business. Results in our radiology business and our public sector behavioral health business both were in line with our expectations, while our commercial behavioral health business continued to experience higher than originally expected cost of care in one portion of a large risk contract. We are working collaboratively with our client to address this issue and our financial guidance for the year reflects our anticipation of some success in this regard. Excluding this particular issue, commercial behavioral health cost trends are consistent with our expectations.”
“Demonstrating the Company’s success in delivering long-term value to its customers, we announced earlier this week that we were again selected to manage the Iowa public sector behavioral health program as part of a competitive bid process. This award reflects a 15-year track record of serving this model public sector behavioral health program and is an important achievement for this segment,” Lerer added. “With this significant renewal and the absence of any notifications of termination for any major behavioral health contracts, we look ahead to a period of greater contract stability in this line of business. This stability reinforces an effective foundation from
-more-
which Magellan’s growth will continue through expansion in the specialty pharmaceutical and radiology businesses.”
Share Repurchase
On April 7, 2009, Magellan completed the share repurchase program it had announced in July 2008. Under the program, the Company repurchased approximately 5.7 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $200 million at an average price of $34.93 per share.
Chief Financial Officer Jonathan N. Rubin said, “We are very pleased to have completed the share repurchase so quickly and to have returned capital to our shareholders while retaining the flexibility to make investments in our business and fund other strategic initiatives. We continue to explore opportunities to drive growth through acquisition and our capital deployment strategy has preserved our ability to do so.”
Outlook
Management said that it continues to expect to generate fiscal 2009 segment profit in the range of $190 million to $210 million and net income in the range of $73.4 million and $93.7 million, yielding earnings per share in the range of $1.99 to $2.54.
“At this time, we expect net income to be within our range in spite of lower projected net investment income. In addition, we expect segment profit to increase quarter over quarter for the balance of the year, reflecting normal seasonality in care costs, the impact and timing of rate increases, an assumption of our ability to recognize deferred revenue associated with our Maricopa County program, and the benefit of new business, particularly in our specialty pharmacy business,” Rubin said.
Lerer added, “We remain comfortable with our 2009 guidance and our prospects for the remainder of the year. Certainly, careful management of our business, including monitoring care costs and maintaining progress in areas such as our Maricopa program and certain commercial behavioral health contracts, is essential to a successful 2009. Magellan’s combination of operational excellence, clinical expertise and innovation, and responsible cost management have served us well in addressing the needs of our customers, members and providers and delivering strong financial results for shareholders. Our objectives for 2009 include continuing to deliver on that promise to our stakeholders and executing on our growth initiatives in our specialty pharmacy, radiology and public sector behavioral health segments.”
