THIRD QUARTER 2008 RESULTS AND
UPDATES 2008 GUIDANCE
Rye Brook, NY – October 30, 2008 – Universal American Corp. (NYSE: UAM) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
Third Quarter 2008 Highlights
· Net income was $48.8 million, or $0.56 per share, including net realized losses of $7.9 million, or $0.09 per share
· Revenues increased to $1.1 billion
· Strong capital base with parent company cash of $141 million
2008 Guidance
· Earnings per share of $1.62 to $1.68, excluding realized gains and losses
· Revenues between $4.7 and $4.9 billion
Third Quarter 2008 Compared to Third Quarter 2007
Universal American’s income, excluding net realized losses for the third quarter of 2008, was $56.7 million, or $0.65 per share. Reported net income was $48.8 million, or $0.56 per share, which includes $7.9 million or $0.09 per share, after tax, resulting from realized losses on the investment portfolio. This compares to net income of $27.1 million, or $0.40 per share, in the third quarter of 2007, which included realized losses of $0.3 million after tax, or $0.01 per share.
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2008 increased 48.7% to $1.1 billion, as compared to the third quarter of 2007. Excluding revenues from the MemberHealth business acquired in September 2007, total revenues increased by 8.6%.
Management Comments
Richard Barasch, Chairman and CEO, commented: “The results of the third quarter again showed strength in our core businesses. When the net positives relating to the 2007 year that came through in this quarter and the non-recurring costs incurred in our Corporate segment are netted out, we had a strong operating quarter, largely in line with our overall expectations. The growth and profitability of our Medicare Advantage HMO business continued, as we experienced 16.4% overall membership growth year over year, including growth of 183% in our HMO expansion markets in Oklahoma, Dallas and Milwaukee. We are well on the way toward proving that we can export to new markets the model that has been so successful in Southeast Texas. We are also quite pleased with the results in our Medicare Advantage Private Fee-for-Service business (‘PFFS’). Excluding positive developments from 2007, our benefit ratio for the first three quarters of 2008 is in line with our expectations and consistent with our forecast for the balance of 2008. Moreover, as the results of prior periods continued to emerge positively, we are also comfortable that the basis upon which we bid our 2009 Medicare Advantage products is sound.
“We are actively establishing Local PPO networks in the markets where we have significant PFFS membership. In 2009, we are launching 15 Medicare Advantage PPO products and anticipate further significant expansion for 2010. This is a major strategic priority for Universal American and we will continue to invest in this process in 2009 as we did in 2008. It is also important to note that over 20% of our members reside in rural counties where deeming will still be permitted in 2011.
“We are quite pleased with the 2009 Part D bid results that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (‘CMS’) released in September. Both of Universal American’s plans, Community CCRxSM and PrescribaRxSM (the
2
successor to Prescription Pathway, our strategic alliance with CVS Caremark Corp. that will end on December 31, 2008) will continue to offer Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage in all fifty states plus the District of Columbia. One or both of our plans bid under the CMS benchmark in 27 of 34 regions, thus qualifying our plans to provide coverage to dual-eligible and low income beneficiaries who qualify for subsidies in those regions. As a result, we anticipate a net gain of approximately 145,000 dual-eligible members through reassignment.
“In times of financial stress, it is important to go back to basics and I can report that our financial structure remains strong. As of September 30, 2008, we had reasonable leverage, unregulated parent company cash of $141 million and well-capitalized subsidiaries that are able to comfortably withstand the investment losses that we have incurred. Over the past several months, we have adopted a more conservative approach to our investment portfolio, which focuses more on capital preservation than on generation of investment yield.”
Medicare Advantage
In the third quarter of 2008, Universal American’s Medicare Advantage membership grew 3.5% to approximately 242,700 members from approximately 234,500 members as of September 30, 2007. Revenues increased by 16.2% year over year to $615.5 million and pre-tax income for the same period increased by $27.5 million to $44.0 million.
PFFS revenues for the third quarter of 2008 increased by 9.9% to $439.6 million, compared to the third quarter of 2007. Pre-tax income for the same period was $29.5 million, an increase of $19.8 million from the $9.7 million reported for the third quarter of 2007. The primary driver of this increase was $16.3 million of income consisting of $20.8 million of positive reserve development from 2007 offset by a retro-active reduction in 2007 revenue of $4.5
3
million for the reconciliation of the 2007 CMS revenue. After considering these 2007 developments, the benefit ratio for PFFS for the full year 2007 was 84.2%. On a comparable basis, the benefit ratio for PFFS for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was 87.1%, which is consistent with Company expectations. As of the end of September 2008, there were approximately 188,000 PFFS members.
The Company’s Medicare Advantage HMO’s continued to generate excellent results. HMO membership grew 16.4% year over year to approximately 54,700 as of September 30, 2008 and profitability remains strong. Revenues increased by 35.6% year over year to $175.9 million. Pre-tax income for the same period increased by $11.3 million to $18.1 million, which included $4.0 million of additional revenue resulting from the reconciliation of the 2007 CMS revenue for the HMO plans. The remaining $7.3 million increase is attributed to membership growth.
Additionally, $3.5 million of expenses were incurred as a result of the continued development of the Company’s 2009 PPO expansion markets during the third quarter of 2008.
Medicare Part D
As of September 30, 2008, Universal American had approximately 1,300,000 members in the Community CCRxSM PDPs and 530,000 members in the Prescription PathwaySM PDPs that will be operated in a strategic alliance with CVS Caremark until the end of 2008. In the third quarter of 2008, the Part D segment reported pre-tax income of $49.2 million, including $20.4 million from Part D Management Services, L.L.C., the joint venture with CVS Caremark, compared to $23.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Third quarter revenues of 2008 for the segment increased to $398.0 million, from $88.0 million for the third quarter of 2007. The increases in segment income and revenues are primarily due to the inclusion of
4
our Community CCRxSM PDP results for the full quarter in 2008 compared to only nine days in the third quarter ended September 30, 2007. The current third quarter results for this segment include approximately $1.0 million of revenue deductions based upon the reconciliation of 2007 revenue with CMS.
Senior Administrative Services
CHCS Services, Universal American’s senior health insurance third-party administrator, continued its important contribution to the Company. For the third quarter of 2008, Universal American earned $5.0 million, pre-tax, on $20.8 million of revenues in our CHCS business. This compares to pre-tax income of $6.4 million on $27.3 million of revenues in the third quarter of 2007. This decline partly reflects the transfer of the administration of our affiliated PFFS business to our Medicare Advantage segment.
Traditional Insurance
For the third quarter of 2008, Universal American earned $3.1 million, pre-tax, on $111.2 million of revenues in our traditional insurance business. This compares to pre-tax income of $5.1 million on $126.6 million of revenues in the third quarter of 2007. This decline partly reflects increased in claims in our Medicare supplement business, lower life and annuity revenues, as well as lower investment income.
Corporate
In the third quarter of 2008, we incurred approximately $1.2 million of non-recurring expenses, largely related to the defense and settlement of a shareholders’ lawsuit.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Total assets were $4.0 billion as of September 30, 2008, compared with $4.1 billion at December 31, 2007. Total cash and investments were $1.6 billion at September 30, 2008, compared to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2007. Total reserves for policyholder liabilities were $1.8 billion at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2008 was $1.3 billion, or $14.90 per common share, compared to $1.4 billion, or $14.66 per common share, at December 31, 2007. The principal reasons for the decreases in total assets, total cash and investments, and stockholders’ equity were the writedowns in the Company’s investments and share repurchases, both of which are described below.
As of September 30, 2008, our parent company had unregulated cash of $141.1 million and access to a $150 million revolving credit agreement which expires in September 2012. The ratio of debt to total capitalization, excluding the effect of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and including Universal American’s trust preferreds as debt, decreased to 24.9% at September 30, 2008 from 25.4% at December 31, 2007. For more information, please see the discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures contained in the Supplemental Financial Information at the end of this press release.
Investment Portfolio
Universal American’s $1.6 billion investment portfolio is highly liquid, with $928 million, or 57.6%, invested in U.S. Government and agency securities. Our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $547 million at September 30, 2008, or 34% of the portfolio. We invest our cash in U.S. Government money market funds and U.S. Agency discount notes. The fixed-income portfolio of $1.1 billion is characterized by strong credit quality with over 60% of the portfolio in securities rated AA or higher. Approximately 98% of the portfolio is in investment
6
grade securities. A complete listing of our investment portfolio is available for review in the financial supplement located on our website, www.universalamerican.com.
In the third quarter of 2008, Universal American recognized pre-tax losses and impairments of $12.1 million on its investments, or 1.1% of the investment portfolio. The majority of the realized losses were related to other than temporary impairments of $2.3 million of subprime investments, $2.4 million of other structured securities and $7.2 million of corporate debt (including $6.1 million of Lehman Brothers). These holdings had a carrying value as of September 30, 2008 of $12.2 million, after impairments. The majority of the Company’s subprime holdings are in senior or senior-mezzanine level tranches, which have preferential liquidation characteristics and still have an average S&P equivalent rating of A+. The Company continues to review the estimated fair values provided by a third party pricing service and believes that it will recover principal and interest greater than the carrying values currently indicate.
Share Repurchase Program
Pursuant to share repurchase plans that have authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of its stock, Universal American has repurchased 5.7 million shares of its stock at a total cost of $62.7 million as of October 30, 2008. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares under the program or to make repurchases at any specific time or price.
2008 Guidance
Universal American expects to earn approximately $1.62 to $1.68 per diluted share for 2008, excluding realized gains/losses on investment transactions as well as investment writedowns. The table below provides additional information relating to our guidance.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In millions, except per share amounts
(Unaudited)
Universal American uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s performance for the periods presented in this press release. You should not consider non-GAAP measures to be an alternative to measurements required by GAAP. Because Universal American’s calculation of these measures may differ from the calculation of similar measures used by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing Universal American’s non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies. The key non-GAAP measures presented in our press release, including reconciliation to GAAP measures, are set forth below.

| | | | | |
Total stockholders’ equity (excluding AOCI) | | $ | 1,304.5 | | $ | 1,351.2 | |
Universal American uses total stockholders’ equity (excluding AOCI), as a basis for evaluating growth in equity on both an absolute dollar basis and on a per share basis, as well as in evaluating the ratio of debt to total capitalization. We believe that fluctuations in stockholders’ equity that arise from changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, as well as changes in the other components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), do not relate to the core performance of Universal American’s business operations.

As noted above, Universal American uses total stockholders’ equity (excluding AOCI), as a basis for evaluating growth in equity on a per share basis. We believe that fluctuations in stockholders’ equity that arise from changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, as well as changes in the other components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), do not relate to the core performance of Universal American’s business operations.

As noted above, Universal American uses total stockholders’ equity (excluding AOCI), as a basis for evaluating the ratio of debt to total capital. We believe that fluctuations in stockholders’ equity that arise from changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, as well as changes in the other components of accumulated other comprehensive income, do not relate to the core performance of Universal American’s business operations.
Universal American uses income, excluding net realized losses as a basis for evaluating operating results. We believe that realized gains and losses in our investment portfolio do not relate to the core performance of Universal American’s business operations.
