Year-over-Year, Health Plan Services Premium Revenues Grew 26.5 Percent

Company Website: http://www.healthnet.com
LOS ANGELES -- (Business Wire)

Health Net, Inc. (NYSE: HNT) today announced 2014 second quarter GAAP net income of $120.9 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $33.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013.

The company’s Western Region Operations (Western Region) and Government Contracts segments produced combined net income of $50.3 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014 compared with $41.4 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013.

The second quarter 2014 results include approximately $3.3 million in pretax expenses, primarily related to severance costs, and a $72.6 million income tax benefit resulting from a loss on the stock of our subsidiary, Health Net of the Northeast.

Highlights from the second quarter of 2014 include:

  1. Health Net’s total revenues climbed 24.9 percent in the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013, and health plan services premiums revenues grew 26.5 percent over the same period;
  2. The company achieved 17.4 percent enrollment growth in its Western Region health plans in the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013;
  3. Individual enrollment increased by 260,000 members, or 226.1 percent, in the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013 and increased by 168,000 members, or 81.2 percent, compared with the first quarter of 2014. This sequential growth was primarily driven by the enrollment of new individual members through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchanges;
  4. Medicaid enrollment increased by 286,000 members, or 25.6 percent, in the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013 and by more than 8 percent sequentially. This was primarily the result of new members added in Arizona and California from the expansion of Medicaid eligibility under the ACA; and
  5. The company’s Western Region commercial Medical Care Ratio (MCR) improved by 260 basis points year-over-year, as health care cost trends remained moderate, the product mix improved and the company’s premiums reflect the new Health Insurer Fee (HIF).

“We are very encouraged by our results so far in 2014. Our focused and deliberate strategic approaches to the new opportunities in the exchanges and Medicaid expansion are driving substantial enrollment and revenue growth and higher income,” said Jay Gellert, Health Net’s chief executive officer.

“We expect further growth in the second half of 2014 from the dual eligible demonstrations in Los Angeles and San Diego counties and continued enrollment growth from Medicaid expansion,” he added.

The company also announced it has signed a Letter of Intent with Cognizant Technology Solutions (Cognizant), a leading provider of information technology, consulting and business process services, as part of its commitment to address its scale issue. The company expects to execute a definitive services agreement with Cognizant before the end of the third quarter of 2014, which will be subject to required regulatory approval. The services agreement is currently expected to generate approximately $150 to $200 million in annual General and Administrative (G&A) and depreciation expense savings by 2017.

“Our decision to move forward with the services agreement was the result of many months of careful consideration. We believe that our expanded relationship with Cognizant will enhance our capabilities, enable greater innovation and ensure that we will maintain the high service levels our members and providers have come to expect from Health Net,” noted Gellert. “We will begin preparing for the transition immediately upon signing. We will then submit our plan for the required regulatory approval. We expect to receive approval in the first half of 2015.”

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Health Net’s total revenues increased 24.9 percent in the second quarter of 2014 to $3.4 billion from $2.7 billion in the second quarter of 2013.

Health plan services premium revenues of approximately $3.3 billion in the second quarter of 2014 increased by 26.5 percent compared with the second quarter of 2013.

Health plan services expenses of approximately $2.8 billion in the second quarter of 2014 increased by 26.1 percent compared with the second quarter of 2013.

WESTERN REGION OPERATIONS SEGMENT

Health Plan Membership

Total enrollment in the Western Region at June 30, 2014 was approximately 2.9 million members, an increase of 17.4 percent from enrollment at June 30, 2013.

Total enrollment in the company’s California health plans at June 30, 2014 was approximately 2.5 million members, an increase of 14.3 percent from enrollment at June 30, 2013.

Western Region commercial enrollment at June 30, 2014 was approximately 1.3 million members, an increase of 10.4 percent compared with enrollment at June 30, 2013.

Membership in tailored network products represented 52.5 percent of the company’s Western Region commercial membership at June 30, 2014 compared with 37.3 percent at June 30, 2013.

“Our historical success with tailored network products provided the basis for our product strategy in the exchanges where most of our enrollment is in tailored network products,” said Jim Woys, Health Net’s chief operating officer. “As a result of the exchange growth, we expect the percentage of commercial enrollment in tailored network products to remain at greater than 50 percent through 2014,” explained Woys.

Enrollment in the company’s Medicare Advantage (MA) plans was 262,000 members at June 30, 2014, which represents an 11.0 percent increase compared with enrollment of 236,000 members at June 30, 2013.

Medicaid enrollment increased 25.6 percent to 1.4 million members at June 30, 2014 compared with approximately 1.1 million members as of June 30, 2013, primarily due to Medicaid expansion under the ACA.

Dual eligibles enrollment was 2,000 members at June 30, 2014.

“We expect duals enrollment to accelerate in the second half of 2014, primarily due to the start of passive enrollment in Los Angeles County on July 1, 2014,” Woys added.

Revenues

Total revenues for the Western Region for the second quarter of 2014 were approximately $3.3 billion compared with approximately $2.6 billion in the second quarter of 2013.

Net investment income in the Western Region was $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with $17.1 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $11.1 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Health Plan Services Expenses

Health plan services expenses in the Western Region were approximately $2.8 billion in the second quarter of 2014 compared with approximately $2.2 billion in the second quarter of 2013.

Commercial Premium Yields and Health Care Cost Trends

In the Western Region, commercial premiums per member per month (PMPM) decreased by 0.4 percent to approximately $379 in the second quarter of 2014 compared with approximately $380 in the second quarter of 2013.

Commercial health care costs PMPM in the Western Region decreased by 3.4 percent to approximately $312 in the second quarter of 2014 compared with approximately $323 in the second quarter of 2013.

“Health care cost trends remain moderate by historical standards for physician, inpatient and outpatient services,” said Woys. “We also benefit from the improving mix of our commercial business as large group enrollment has declined and individual enrollment, largely in our tailored network products, has increased significantly due to our success with the exchanges.”

Medical Care Ratios

The health plan services MCR in the Western Region was 84.7 percent in the second quarter of 2014 compared with 85.0 percent in the second quarter of 2013.

The Western Region commercial MCR was 82.3 percent in the second quarter of 2014 compared with 84.9 percent in the second quarter of 2013 due to continued moderation in cost trends, an improved product mix and premium increases to reflect the new HIF.

The MA MCR in the Western Region was 90.9 percent in the second quarter of 2014 compared with 89.9 percent in the second quarter of 2013.

The Medicaid MCR was 83.6 percent in the second quarter of 2014 compared with 79.5 percent in the second quarter of 2013. Retroactive reinstatement of premium taxes in the second quarter of 2013 benefited the Medicaid MCR in the second quarter of 2013 by 400 basis points.

G&A Expenses

G&A expenses in the Western Region were $342.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with $284.1 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $357.9 million in the first quarter of 2014. The G&A expense ratio was 10.5 percent in the second quarter of 2014 compared with 11.0 percent in the second quarter of 2013 and 12.4 percent in the first quarter of 2014.

“The administrative expense ratio, which excludes premium taxes and ACA-related fees, also declined sequentially and year-over-year in the second quarter of 2014,” said Woys. “We are very focused on continued improvement in our administrative efficiency while preparing for the transition with Cognizant.”

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS SEGMENT

Government Contracts revenues were $154.1 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with $139.9 million in the second quarter of 2013.

Government Contracts expenses were $132.6 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with $121.8 million in the second quarter of 2013.

BALANCE SHEET

Cash and investments as of June 30, 2014 were $2.3 billion compared with $1.9 billion as of June 30, 2013.

Reserves for claims and other settlements were $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2014 compared with $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2013 and $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2014.

Days claims payable (DCP) for the second quarter of 2014 was 49.0 days compared with 42.1 days in the second quarter of 2013 and 43.2 days in the first quarter of 2014.

On an adjusted1 basis, DCP for the second quarter of 2014 was 64.4 days compared with 58.4 days in the second quarter of 2013 and 63.1 days in the first quarter of 2014.

The company’s debt-to-total capital ratio was 21.5 percent as of June 30, 2014 compared with 22.9 percent as of March 31, 2014 and 25.6 percent as of June 30, 2013.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS

Operating cash flow was negative $13.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 because the company did not receive approximately $300 million of expected Medicaid payments in the second quarter.

“We received approximately $262 million in June Medi-Cal payments on July 28, 2014,” said Joseph Capezza, Health Net’s chief financial officer. “We now have received all June payments.”

The company noted that cash at the parent was approximately $200.4 million at June 30, 2014.

STOCK REPURCHASE UPDATE

Health Net did not repurchase any shares of its common stock in the second quarter of 2014 as it was evaluating its scale issues. At June 30, 2014, approximately $280 million of authorization under the company’s existing $400 million stock repurchase program remained.

“We intend to resume repurchases in the third quarter of 2014 through privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, open market transactions, or by any combination of such methods,” Capezza explained.

“We are increasing our guidance for weighted-average fully diluted shares outstanding in 2014 to approximately 80 million shares from our prior guidance of 77 million shares,” he added.

2014 GUIDANCE

The company is maintaining GAAP earnings per diluted share of at least $3.00 for the full year 2014.

The table included in this release provides specific 2014 guidance metrics, including updates to expectations for Medicaid and total health plan membership, state health plans revenues, the Medicaid MCR, tax rates and weighted-average fully diluted shares outstanding.

“We are maintaining our diluted EPS guidance for the combined Western Region and Government Contracts segments of at least $2.22 despite the higher share count.
