ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT WITH CAREFIRST BLUECROSS BLUESHIELD TO HELP
DELIVER NATION’S LARGEST PRIMARY CARE MEDICAL HOME PROGRAM
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Apr. 25, 2011) – Ben R. Leedle, Jr., president and chief executive officer of Healthways, Inc. (NASDAQ: HWAY), today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011. Total revenues for the quarter were $163.0 million compared with $179.0 million for the first quarter of 2010. Net income for the first quarter of 2011 was $4.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with $9.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2010. Mr. Leedle commented, “Our financial results were fully consistent with our expectations for the first quarter of 2011, and we are today affirming our established financial guidance for fiscal 2011.”

Mr. Leedle added, “We are pleased with the performance of our business, both in financial terms and strengthened demand for our services. For the first quarter, we signed 32 new, expanded or extended contracts. We also experienced 33% comparable-quarter growth in Requests for Proposal (RFPs) and were contacted directly about a number of potential opportunities on a non-RFP basis. As a result, we have a robust sales pipeline comprised of both new prospects and existing customers in our traditional health plan and employer markets. In addition, we have had accelerated success in converting large opportunities stemming from rapidly emerging trends in the market into recently signed innovative contracts.
“Today we are announcing a transformative expansion of our relationship with CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield to partner with them in delivering their network-wide Primary Care Medical Home (PCMH) model. This program is the largest of its type in the nation and is clearly market leading. The program focuses on financially rewarding patients for living healthier lifestyles and accessing care through their primary care physician. The intent of the model is to shift the focus of health care

Apr. 25, 2011
in the reform era to patient wellness and to minimize the risk of catastrophic and costly medical problems due to unhealthy behaviors. We will work with CareFirst’s entire book of business as their care coordination arm, integrated deeply with the primary care providers who are participating in the CareFirst PCMH model. This contract is an example of the positive implications of emerging trends, with health plans reshaping their service offerings as the implementation of health care reform moves forward. We anticipated this opportunity with CareFirst within our financial guidance for 2011.
“In our earnings release last quarter, we identified five emerging market trends that represent near-term growth opportunities against which we expected to achieve strategic execution during 2011:
1) | Health plan preparation for the implementation of state insurance exchanges, which is projected to cause significant disruption of their individual and small group fully insured business; |
2) | Change from a volume-based to a performance-based payment system and the associated shift of financial risk and responsibility for cost and quality from health plans to providers; |
3) | Increasing payer requests for a comprehensive, integrated solution that addresses longitudinal health risk and care needs for total populations; |
4) | Global adoption of population health management by both foreign government and foreign private sector health organizations; and |
5) | Recognition by large employers of the expanded value of improved well-being to reduce medical cost and improve individual and company productivity and performance. |
“Within the last 100 days, we have signed four contracts that clearly fit within this framework of opportunities, and we expect to sign additional contracts within this framework during 2011. In addition to today’s announcement of the CareFirst contract expansion, we previously announced significant contracts with Hawaii Medical Service Association (“HMSA”), with the State Government of New South Wales in Australia, and most recently with Caisse Nationale d’Assurance Maladie des Travailleurs Salaries (“CNAMTS”). CNAMTS is the public body, supervised by the French Ministry of Health, that insures over 85% of France’s population in the health care system ranked #1 globally by the World Health Organization.
“The CNAMTS agreement is our second major international contract this year directly with a foreign government. This contract win came in a highly competitive RFP process with an overall objective to significantly enhance and expand services in CNAMTS’ existing program, commonly known as ‘Sophia’. This four-year contract, through identified and committed expansion phases, will ultimately address the needs of approximately 2 million French citizens diagnosed with diabetes in France and in the French Territories overseas. The scope of the contract will include developing new programs for two additional disease states, most likely cardiac and respiratory. We expect this contract to be dilutive to international earnings for the second and third quarters of 2011 and to be accretive for the fourth quarter. As indicated in our press release announcing this contract, we expect the CNAMTS agreement to essentially breakeven for 2011 and to achieve target revenue and profitability in 2012 and beyond.”
First Quarter Results
Mr. Leedle commented, “As expected, our first-quarter financial performance reflected the costs related to signing and implementing the four new significant contracts identified above. Because of
HWAY Reports First-Quarter Results
Page 3
Apr. 25, 2011
these costs, the staggered start-dates of the new contracts, the timing of our recognition of performance-based fees, and the ramping of member enrollment throughout the year and into 2012, we expect margins to improve sequentially each quarter in 2011. As a result, earnings for the second half of the year are expected to be significantly better than for the first half, as the revenues from these contracts build. We fully expect all these contracts to achieve target performance in 2012.
“For the first quarter, Healthways again delivered substantial net operating cash flow, totaling $20.8 million, which funded $9.8 million in capital expenditures, a $3.9 million repurchase of Healthways common stock and $3.5 million in further debt reduction. Total debt to total capitalization has improved 610 basis points over the last four quarters to 35.8% at the end of the first quarter of 2011 from 41.9% at the same time in 2010, and 70 basis points from 36.5% at the end of 2010. With anticipated net cash flows provided by operating activities for 2011 in a range of $80 million to $100 million and planned capital expenditures of $38 million to $45 million, we currently expect to focus free cash flow primarily on additional debt repayment and stock repurchases.”
Revenue Guidance
Healthways today affirmed its guidance for 2011 revenues in a range of $672 million to $710 million. This range includes revenues from domestic operations in a range of $650 million to $680 million and from international revenues in a range of $22 million to $30 million.

This range includes net income per diluted share from domestic operations in a range of $0.94 to $1.04 and from international operations in a range of ($0.04) to $0.04. This guidance does not include the potential impact of certain significant prospective contracts or strategic collaborations the Company may enter into this year in which substantial costs are incurred before full revenue and/or margin maturity are achieved.

Summary
Mr. Leedle concluded, “Our first-quarter financial results were consistent with our expected quarterly progression to our guidance for the full year. With four significant contracts already signed and with additional contracts anticipated during 2011, our visibility regarding future growth continues to strengthen.
“This improved visibility reflects the quickening pace of change in the organization of, delivery of, and payment for health care services in the U.S. and abroad. Healthways continues to address significant opportunities in both traditional and new distribution channels caused by emerging market trends. Our four new major contracts are each proof-points that both validate the trends and Healthways’ capability to respond effectively to them. Demonstrating the new urgency and strategic clarity with which our existing and potential customers are engaging in contract discussions, we expect to produce additional proof-points in the form of significant new contracts throughout 2011. These opportunities reflect both our leadership in the development of innovative solutions to address these trends and the strength of the Company’s proprietary tools and infrastructure that support our proven ability to deliver market-leading solutions at scale around the world.”
