Molina Healthcare Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2014 Results

LONG BEACH, Calif.--()--Molina Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: MOH):

  • Full year 2014 net income per diluted share, continuing operations, of $1.30, representing a 35% increase over 2013 net income per diluted share, continuing operations, of $0.96.
  • Full year 2014 adjusted net income per diluted share, continuing operations,1 of $3.43, representing a 10% increase over 2013 adjusted net income per diluted share, continuing operations,1 of $3.13.
  • Full year 2014 total revenue of $9.7 billion, up 47% over 2013.
  • Aggregate membership up 36% over 2013.
  • Full year 2014 cash flow from operations exceeded $1 billion.

Molina Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: MOH) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.

“2014 was a year of great growth and accomplishment for Molina Healthcare. We added almost 700,000 members to our health plans; we launched our Medicare Medicaid dual eligible plans in California, Illinois, and Ohio; and we began operations at our South Carolina health plan,” said J. Mario Molina, M.D., chief executive officer of Molina Healthcare, Inc. “While the overall results fell short of our expectations due to factors outside of our control, such as the reimbursement of the Affordable Care Act’s Health Insurer Fee, we enter 2015 better prepared to meet many of the challenges ahead of us. We are incredibly excited about the Puerto Rico and dual eligible contracts in the pipeline for 2015. In addition, we are making significant progress as our company continues to shift toward becoming a chronic care company, while we continue to invest and position ourselves for the longer term.”

Overview of Financial Results, Continuing Operations

Dramatic increases in enrollment and revenue, as well as improved administrative cost efficiency, offset higher medical costs and higher tax rates to generate a substantial improvement in the Company’s bottom-line performance between 2013 and 2014.

Strong enrollment growth across all of the Company’s programs combined with an 18% increase in premium revenue per member generated almost $3 billion, or 46%, more premium revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014, when compared with the year ended December 31, 2013.

Enrollment growth was primarily due to Medicaid Expansion program membership added as a result of the Affordable Care Act and membership added at the Company’s South Carolina and Illinois health plans. Higher per member per month premium revenue was primarily the result of the inclusion of long-term services and supports (LTSS) benefits in various Medicaid managed care programs in California, Florida, Illinois, New Mexico, and Ohio.

The Company reported substantial improvements in administrative cost efficiency in 2014. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue declined to 7.3% for the fourth quarter of 2014, from 11.0% for the same period in 2013, and was 7.9% for the year ended December 31, 2014, versus 10.1% for 2013.

Although medical margin (defined as the excess of premium revenue over medical care costs) increased nearly 20% in 2014 over 2013, the Company’s consolidated medical care ratio (defined as medical care costs as a percentage of premium revenue) increased to 89.5% in 2014 from 87.1% in 2013.

The medical care ratio increased substantially in 2014 as a result of three developments:

  • Much of the Company’s revenue growth has come from participation in Medicaid programs covering LTSS. As the Company has previously discussed, percentage profit margins for LTSS benefits are generally lower than percentage profit margins for acute medical benefits.
  • Increases to the Company’s base premiums in recent years have not kept pace with medical cost trends.
  • Lack of coordination in the design of profit caps and medical cost floors in some of the Company’s state Medicaid contracts is resulting in counterproductive outcomes. In some instances, givebacks due to profitable performance in one product cannot be offset against losses in other products.

Affordable Care Act Health Insurer Fee Update

The Company previously reported that its results have been adversely affected by delays in reimbursement (including reimbursement for tax effects) of the Affordable Care Act’s Health Insurer Fee (ACA HIF) from California, Michigan, New Mexico, Texas and Utah.

During the fourth quarter, New Mexico and Texas agreed to full reimbursement, resulting in additional revenue of $30 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2014. California has not yet committed to reimbursement for 2014.

During the third quarter, Michigan and Utah committed to reimbursement of the ACA HIF, but not to the reimbursement of the related tax effects. While both states have informally indicated that it is their desire to reimburse the Company for those tax effects, there remained a shortfall of approximately $8 million for Michigan and Utah combined as of December 31, 2014.

The ACA HIF not reimbursed by California, as well as tax effects not yet reimbursed by Michigan and Utah, reduced income before taxes by approximately $20 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2014 (per-share amount is on a GAAP and adjusted basis).

The following table summarizes the status of ACA HIF Medicaid revenue recognition for the year ended December 31, 2014.

   
ACA HIF Medicaid Revenue
    Required    
Reimbursement
through Not
Recognized Dec. 31, 2014 Recognized
(In millions)
Quarter 1 $ 16.6 $ 32.7 $ 16.1
Quarter 2 17.2 32.7 15.5
Quarter 3 27.0 32.7 5.7
Quarter 4 50.2 32.7 (17.5 )
Year ended December 31, 2014 $ 111.0 $ 130.8 $ 19.8  
 

Texas Health Plan Quality Revenue Update

The Company’s non-recognition of a portion of the Texas health plan’s quality revenue reduced income before taxes by approximately $8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2014, and $25.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2014 (per-share amounts for both periods are on a GAAP and adjusted basis).

The following table summarizes the status of Texas quality revenue recognition for the year ended December 31, 2014:

   
Texas Quality Revenue
        Amount At         Not
Recognized Risk Recognized
(In millions)
Quarter 1 $ 2.6 $ 8.6 $ 6.0
Quarter 2 1.1 8.6 7.5
Quarter 3 4.6 8.8 4.2
Quarter 4 1.0 8.8 7.8
Year ended December 31, 2014 $ 9.3 $ 34.8 $ 25.5
 

Of the $25.5 million of 2014 Texas quality revenue that was unrecognized at December 31, 2014, approximately $20 million is related to measures for which the Company lacks sufficient information to calculate its compliance. Should such information become available in the future, the Company may be able to recognize all or a portion of such revenue.

Notes:

1. Adjusted net income per diluted share, continuing operations, is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental metric in evaluating its financial performance, its financing and business decisions, and in forecasting and planning for future periods. This measure is not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is diluted net income per share, continuing operations. See below for reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
 

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This earnings release contains “forward-looking statements” regarding the Company’s plans, expectations, and anticipated future events. Actual results could differ materially due to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, risk factors related to the following:

  • continuing uncertainties associated with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, including the full grossed up reimbursement by states of the non-deductible ACA health insurer fee, the Medicaid expansion, the insurance marketplaces, the effect of various implementing regulations, the King v. Burwell case now pending before the Supreme Court, and uncertainties regarding the Medicare-Medicaid dual eligible demonstration programs in California, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and South Carolina;
  • management of our medical costs, including seasonal flu patterns and rates of utilization that are consistent with our expectations, and our ability to reduce over time the high medical costs commonly associated with new patient populations;
  • federal or state medical cost expenditure floors, administrative cost and profit ceilings, and profit sharing arrangements;
  • the interpretation and implementation of at-risk premium rules regarding the achievement of certain quality measures, including 2014 at-risk premium rules in the state of Texas;
  • cyber-attacks or other privacy or data security incidents resulting in an inadvertent unauthorized disclosure of protected health information;
  • the success of our new health plan in Puerto Rico;
  • newly FDA-approved specialty drugs such as Sovaldi, Olysio, Harvoni, and other specialty drugs or generic drugs that are exorbitantly priced but not factored into the calculation of our capitated rates;
  • significant budget pressures on state governments and their potential inability to maintain current rates, to implement expected rate increases, or to maintain existing benefit packages or membership eligibility thresholds or criteria;
  • the accurate estimation of incurred but not paid medical costs across our health plans;
  • retroactive adjustments to premium revenue or accounting estimates which require adjustment based upon subsequent developments, including Medicaid pharmaceutical rebates or retroactive premium rate increases;
  • efforts by states to recoup previously paid amounts;
  • the success of our efforts to retain existing government contracts and to obtain new government contracts in connection with state requests for proposals (RFPs) in both existing and new states, including the success of the proposal of Molina Medicaid Solutions in New Jersey;
  • the continuation and renewal of the government contracts of both our health plans and Molina Medicaid Solutions and the terms under which such contracts are renewed;
  • complications, member confusion, or enrollment backlogs related to the annual renewal of Medicaid coverage;
  • government audits and reviews, and any fine, enrollment freeze, or monitoring program that may result therefrom;
  • changes with respect to our provider contracts and the loss of providers;
  • approval by state regulators of dividends and distributions by our health plan subsidiaries;
  • changes in funding under our contracts as a result of regulatory changes, programmatic adjustments, or other reforms;
  • high dollar claims related to catastrophic illness;
  • the favorable or unfavorable resolution of litigation, arbitration, or administrative proceedings, including pending qui tam actions in Florida and California, and the litigation commenced against us by the state of Louisiana alleging that Molina Medicaid Solutions and its predecessors used an incorrect reimbursement formula for the payment of pharmaceutical claims;
  • the relatively small number of states in which we operate health plans;
  • our management of a portion of College Health Enterprises’ hospital in Long Beach, California;
  • the availability of adequate financing on acceptable terms to fund and capitalize our expansion and growth, repay our outstanding indebtedness at maturity and meet our liquidity needs, including the interest expense and other costs associated with such financing;
  • the failure of a state in which we operate to renew its federal Medicaid waiver;
  • changes generally affecting the managed care or Medicaid management information systems industries;
  • increases in government surcharges, taxes, and assessments;
  • public alarm associated with the Ebola virus, measles, or any actual widespread epidemic;
  • changes in general economic conditions, including unemployment rates;
  • increasing competition and consolidation in the Medicaid industry;

and numerous other risk factors, including those discussed in the Company’s periodic reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These reports can be accessed under the investor relations tab of the Company’s website or on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Given these risks and uncertainties, we can give no assurances that the Company’s forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, or that any other results or events projected or contemplated by the Company’s forward-looking statements will in fact occur, and we caution investors not to place undue reliance on these statements.

MOLINA HEALTHCARE, INC.
UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
 

The Company uses two non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental metrics in evaluating its financial performance, making financing and business decisions, and forecasting and planning for future periods. For these reasons, management believes such measures are useful supplemental measures to investors in comparing the Company’s performance to the performance of other public companies in the health care industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to, and not as substitutes for or superior to, GAAP measures.

 

The first of these non-GAAP measures is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The following table reconciles net income (loss), which the Company believes to be the most comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA.

“Other” medical claims and benefits payable include amounts payable to certain providers for which the Company acts as an intermediary on behalf of various state agencies without assuming financial risk. Such receipts and payments do not impact the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had recorded non-risk provider payables of approximately $119.3 million and $151.3 million, respectively.

 

       

MOLINA HEALTHCARE, INC.

UNAUDITED CHANGE IN MEDICAL CLAIMS AND BENEFITS PAYABLE

 

 

The Company’s claims liability includes an allowance for adverse claims development based on historical experience and other factors including, but not limited to, variations 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 amounts displayed for “Components of medical care costs related to: Prior period” represent the amount by which the Company’s original estimate of claims and benefits payable at the beginning of the period were more than the actual amount of the liability based on information (principally the payment of claims) developed since that liability was first reported. The following table shows the components of the change in medical claims and benefits payable from continuing and discontinued operations as of the periods indicated:
