· | Full year EPS expected to grow more than 50 percent in 2007 |
· | Lower administrative costs primarily from efficiency and productivity gains |
· | Improving medical expense ratios in both segments |
· | GAAP cash flows from operations up 33 percent year to date |
· | Non-GAAP cash flows from operations up 71 percent year to date |
· | Government Segment pretax earnings were $288.8 million in 2Q07 compared to $98.0 million in 2Q06. As expected, this primarily reflects a more normal MER pattern for the Part D benefit for 2007 as well as administrative cost efficiency associated with higher average Medicare medical membership. The extended enrollment period for this benefit during 2006 distorted the claims pattern associated with the beneficiaries’ progression through the Part D benefit stages in the prior year. |
· | For 1H07, pretax earnings for the Government Segment of $306.7 million increased by $187.1 million, or 157 percent versus 1H06 pretax earnings for the segment of $119.6 million, primarily reflecting the same factors impacting the year-over-year comparison for the second quarter. |
· | Medicare Advantage membership grew to 1,133,700 at June 30, 2007, an increase of 173,900, or 18 percent, from June 30, 2006 and 20,300, or 2 percent, from March 31, 2007. Average Medicare Advantage membership for 2Q07 was up 28 percent compared to that for 2Q06. The company’s expanded participation in various Medicare products and markets combined with the company’s increased sales and marketing efforts for these programs led to the higher membership level both year over year and sequentially. |
· | Membership in the company’s stand-alone Prescription Drug Plans (PDPs) totaled 3,440,100 at June 30, 2007 compared to 3,458,800 at June 30, 2006 and 3,473,700 at March 31, 2007. Average stand-alone PDP membership was 21 percent higher in 2Q07 than 2Q06. |
· | TRICARE membership of 2,868,200 at June 30, 2007 was essentially unchanged from both June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2007. |
· | Medicaid membership of 567,600 at June 30, 2007 increased 149,100 from June 30, 2006 due primarily to the award of a new Puerto Rico regional ASO contract during the fourth quarter of 2006, partially offset by eligible Puerto Rico Medicaid members choosing to move into the Medicare Advantage program. |
· | Medicare Advantage premiums of $2.80 billion in 2Q07 increased 33 percent compared to $2.11 billion in 2Q06, primarily the result of higher average membership. |
· | Medicare stand-alone Part D premiums of $1.05 billion in 2Q07 increased 31 percent compared to $801.8 million in 2Q06, primarily the result of higher average membership. |
· | TRICARE premiums and administrative services fees during 2Q07 increased $71.8 million to $740.6 million compared to $668.8 million in 2Q06. |
· | The Government Segment MER decreased 170 basis points to 84.3 percent in 2Q07 compared to 86.0 percent in the prior year’s quarter. This decrease reflects a more normalized MER pattern for the Medicare Part D benefit for 2007. The extended enrollment period for this benefit during the prior year distorted the claims pattern associated with the beneficiaries’ progression through the Part D benefit stages in 2006. |
· | The Government Segment’s SG&A expense ratio for 2Q07 of 10.0 percent was 150 basis points lower than that for 2Q06 of 11.5 percent primarily driven by efficiency and productivity gains associated with servicing higher average Medicare membership. The 2Q07 SG&A expense ratio was approximately 30 basis points lower than previously expected primarily due to improving staffing metrics and enhanced processes associated with servicing its Medicare business. |
· | Commercial Segment pretax earnings were $50.8 million in 2Q07 compared to $42.3 million in 2Q06. Commercial Segment operating earnings in 2Q07 continue to reflect the company’s commitment to underwriting discipline and strategic growth in select lines of business. |
· | For 1H07, pretax earnings for the Commercial Segment of $145.2 million were $6.8 million, or 5 percent lower than 1H06 pretax earnings for the segment of $152.0 million as a result of a $45.3 million pretax gain associated with the sale of a venture capital investment that occurred in 1Q06. |
· | Commercial Segment medical membership of 3,278,700 at June 30, 2007 was essentially unchanged from both June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2007. |
· | Membership in the company’s Smart plans and other consumer offerings grew to 480,900 at June 30, 2007, an increase of 64,500, or 15 percent, from June 30, 2006 and 9,600, or 2 percent, from March 31, 2007. Medical members in these products comprise approximately 15 percent of Commercial medical membership at June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007 compared to 13 percent at June 30, 2006. |
· | Premiums and administrative services fees for the Commercial Segment decreased 3 percent to $1.59 billion in 2Q07 compared to $1.64 billion in the prior year’s quarter, primarily due to lower average commercial fully-insured membership, down 8 percent year over year, as well as a shift in business mix from fully-insured to ASO enrollment. |
· | Commercial Segment medical premiums for fully-insured groups increased approximately 5 percent on a per-member basis during 2Q07 compared to 2Q06. |
· | In 2Q07, the Commercial Segment MER of 80.7 percent was 220 basis points lower than the 2Q06 MER of 82.9 percent, primarily reflecting improving medical cost utilization trends and the company’s continued commitment to underwriting discipline. |
· | The Commercial Segment SG&A expense ratio of 21.8 percent for 2Q07 compares to 18.7 percent in 2Q06, primarily the combined result of higher average ASO membership and administrative costs associated with increased business for the company’s mail order pharmacy. Average ASO membership increased 8 percent versus the prior year’s quarter. |
· | Cash and cash equivalents of $3.72 billion increased $26.7 million or 1 percent sequentially. The early receipt of the April Medicare premium from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) during 1Q07 was essentially offset by the early receipt of the July Medicare premium from CMS during 2Q07. |
· | Parent company cash and investments decreased to $419.3 million at June 30, 2007 from $424.4 million at December 31, 2006. |
· | Unearned revenues of $1.36 billion increased 2 percent from the March 31, 2007 balance of $1.33 billion also due to the timing of the receipts of Medicare premiums from CMS. |
· | Debt-to-total capitalization at June 30, 2007 was 26.1 percent, down 350 basis points from March 31, 2007 due primarily to the repayment of 1Q07 borrowings against the company’s credit facility. |
· | The company’s working capital at June 30, 2007 included approximately $690.2 million in net Part D risk-share payables to CMS associated with the company’s Medicare Advantage and stand-alone PDP offerings. Approximately $728.1 million of this net liability related to Part D plan offerings for the year ended December 31, 2006. |
· | Days in claims payable excluding the impact of Medicare stand-alone PDPs were up slightly to 62.4 days at June 30, 2007 from 62.0 days at March 31, 2007. |

(a) | When reviewing and analyzing Humana’s operating cash flows, company management applies the CMS premium payment in each month to match the corresponding disbursements. To do otherwise distorts meaningful analysis of the company’s operating cash flow. Therefore, decisions such as management’s forecasting and business plans regarding cash flow use this non-GAAP financial measure. |
(b) | The company believes that this non-GAAP measure, when presented in conjunction with the comparable GAAP measure, is useful to both management and its investors in analyzing the company's ongoing business and operating performance. Internally, management uses this non-GAAP financial measure as an indicator of business performance, as well as for operational planning and decision making purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. |

Footnote | ||
(A) | 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). | |
(B) | TRICARE revenues are not contracted on a per-member basis. | |
(C) | In a limited number of circumstances, the company contracts with hospitals and physicians to accept financial risk for a defined set of HMO 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 capitated HMO membership, including some health benefit administrative functions and claims processing. For these capitated HMO arrangements, the company generally agrees to reimbursement rates that target a medical expense ratio. Providers participating in hospital-based capitated HMO arrangements generally receive a monthly payment for all of the services within their system for their HMO membership. Providers participating in physician-based capitated HMO arrangements generally have subcontracted specialist physicians and are responsible for reimbursing such physicians and hospitals for services rendered to their HMO membership. | |
(D) | In some circumstances, the company contracts with physicians under risk-sharing arrangements whereby physicians have assumed some level of risk for all or a portion of the medical costs of their HMO membership. Although these arrangements do include capitation payments for services rendered, the company processes substantially all of the claims under these arrangements. | |
(E) | IBNR represents an estimate of medical expenses payable for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) at the balance sheet date. The level of IBNR is primarily impacted by membership levels, medical claim trends and the receipt cycle time, which represents the length of time between when a claim is initially incurred and when the claim form is received (i.e. a shorter time span results in lower reserves for claims IBNR). Other medical expenses payable includes amounts payable to providers under capitation arrangements. | |
(F) | TRICARE IBNR primarily fluctuates due to medical expense inflation and changes in the utilization of benefits. | |
(G) | TRICARE other medical expenses payable may include liabilities to subcontractors and/or risk share payables to the Department of Defense. The level of these balances may fluctuate from period to period due to the timing of payment (cutoff) and whether or not the balances are payables or receivables (receivables from the Department of Defense are classified as receivables in the company's balance sheet). | |
(H) | Unprocessed claim inventories represent the estimated valuation of claims received but not yet fully processed. TRICARE claim inventories are not included in this amount as an independent third party administrator processes all TRICARE medical claims on the company's behalf. Reserves for TRICARE unprocessed claims inventory are included in TRICARE IBNR. | |
(I) | Processed claim inventories represent the estimated valuation of processed claims that are in the post-claim-adjudication process, which consists of administrative functions such as audit and check batching and handling. | |
(J) | The balance due to the company's pharmacy benefit administrator fluctuates as a result of the number of business days in the last payment cycle of the month. Payment cycles are every 10 days (10th & 20th of month) and the last day of the month. | |
(K) | 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 our estimate of claim reserves during the quarter. | |
(L) | Changes in estimates of TRICARE incurred claims for prior years result primarily from claim costs and utilization levels developing favorably from the levels originally estimated for the second half of the prior year. As a result of substantial risk-sharing provisions with the Department of Defense and with subcontractors, any resulting impact on operations from the change in estimates of incurred related to prior years is substantially reduced, whether positive or negative. | |
(M) | The receipt cycle time measures the average length of time between when a claim was initially incurred and when the claim form was received. Receipt cycle time data for our largest claim processing platforms represents 70% to 75% of the company's fully-insured claims volume. Pharmacy claims are excluded from this measurement. | |
(N) | A common metric for monitoring medical claim reserve levels relative to the medical claims expense is days in claims payable, or DCP, which represents the medical claim liabilities at the end of the period divided by average medical expenses per day in the quarterly period. Since the company has some providers under capitation payment arrangements (which do not require a medical claim IBNR reserve), the company has also summarized this metric excluding capitation expense. In addition, this calculation excludes the impact of the company's stand-alone PDP business. | |
(O) | Excludes the impact of Medicare stand-alone PDPs. | |
(P) | DCP fluctuates due to a number of issues, the more significant of which are detailed in the rollforward of DCP from the fourth quarter of the prior year. 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 reserve recorded upon enrollment later in the quarter. | |
