Variances for the three months ended June 30, 2016 versus June 30, 2015:

  • The increase in revenue between periods is attributable to the impact of new business and same store growth, as well as revenue from The Management Group (TMG) acquisition, which were partially offset by the loss of revenues associated with terminated contracts.
  • The increase in segment profit is primarily due to the impact of new business, net same store growth, strong earnings in our Pharmacy business, and the inclusion of TMG’s results in the current quarter, partially offset by the impact of contract terminations. In addition, the current quarter includes a loss of approximately $4.5 million from our Part D Plan, most of which we project to be timing-related as a result of benefit seasonality in the first half of the year. Included in segment profit this quarter is approximately $2 million of net favorable non-recurring items. This is mainly related to $5.5 million of favorable prior period medical claims development in the Healthcare segment, partially offset by one-time corporate costs related to the Armed Forces Services Corporation (AFSC) and TMG acquisitions, as well as severance expense.
  • In addition to the items affecting adjusted net income explained below, the change in net income between periods also reflects lower contingent consideration expense and stock compensation expense related to acquisitions, partially offset by a $4.8 million impairment of acquisition intangibles in the current quarter. This reflects the full impairment of the Fully Integrated Duals Advantage (FIDA) and Medicare Advantage customer contract intangibles recorded for the investment in AlphaCare.
  • The change in adjusted net income between periods was mainly due to a higher effective income tax rate, offset by higher segment profit in the current quarter.

“During the second quarter, we experienced strong financial results and sales across all of our Pharmacy markets, while remaining focused on a number of strategic efforts to continue driving growth and customer results,” said Barry M. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer of Magellan Health. “In our Healthcare business, the second quarter results were solid and reflect continued progress in executing our key priorities.”

Results and Outlook

“I’m encouraged by the strong sales results and pipeline in both our Healthcare and Pharmacy businesses, and believe we are on track to meet our full-year financial objectives,” said Jonathan N. Rubin, chief financial officer of Magellan Health. “We closed on an additional $200 million term loan on June 27, 2016. The purpose of this facility was to provide funds to address capital needs for the AFSC acquisition, Part D Plan receivables, and for contingent consideration payments. This term loan matures on December 29, 2017.

“We are revising our guidance to reflect the impact of the AFSC acquisition, the impairment of AlphaCare contract intangible assets, higher than anticipated Pharmacy revenues and recent share repurchases. We now expect revenue to be in the range of $4.76 to $5.00 billion and segment profit to be in the range of $271 to $291 million. We are revising our expectation of net income to be $49 to $68 million, with EPS between $1.99 and $2.77 per share. Adjusted net income is expected to be between $85 and $104 million, with adjusted EPS between $3.45 and $4.22. EPS and adjusted EPS are based on average fully diluted shares of 24.6 million. This updated share count reflects share repurchases and option exercises through July 27, 2016, but excludes any potential future activity. In addition, we are revising our guidance for cash flow from operations to a range of $104 million to $135 million, due to the acquisition of AFSC.

“Compared to the first half of 2016, we expect the second half of the year to produce stronger segment profit due to the seasonality and timing of care results and customer settlements, mainly in our Healthcare business, normal earnings seasonality in our Part D Plan, the impact of new business growth across our businesses, improved care management results, primarily in MCC of Florida, and the impact of the AFSC and TMG acquisitions.”

Basis of Presentation

In addition to results determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Magellan provides certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful in assessing the company’s performance. Following is a description of these important non-GAAP measures.

Segment profit is equal to net revenues less the sum of cost of care, cost of goods sold, direct service costs and other operating expenses, and includes income from unconsolidated subsidiaries, but excludes segment profit or loss from non-controlling interests held by other parties, stock compensation expense, as well as changes in the fair value of contingent consideration recorded in relation to acquisitions.

Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share reflect certain adjustments made for acquisitions completed after January 1, 2013 to exclude non-cash stock compensation expense resulting from restricted stock purchases by sellers, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, as well as amortization of identified acquisition intangibles.

Included in the tables issued with this press release are the reconciliations from non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures.
