Humana Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2006 Financial Results including Earnings Per Share of $0.53
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jul 31, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM):
-- EPS for second quarter up 8 percent versus prior year
-- Consolidated revenues up 52 percent to $5.41 billion
-- Medical membership exceeds 11 million
-- Full-year cash flow guidance raised
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) today reported $0.53 in diluted earnings per common share (EPS) for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 (2Q06), $0.19 per share higher than the mid-point of the company's prior guidance. On a year-over-year basis, the 2Q06 EPS is 8 percent higher than the company's EPS for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 (2Q05) of $0.49 (a). The upside in the quarter was a combination of better-than-expected performance in the company's Medicare Advantage, commercial and TRICARE business lines, partially offset by profit margins in its Prescription Drug Plans (PDPs) moving to the low end of the projected range.
The company continues to estimate EPS for the year ending December 31, 2006 (FY06E) in the range of $2.82 to $2.88 versus $1.79 (a) for the year ended December 31, 2005 (FY05), a growth rate of approximately 60 percent. In addition to the impact of changes associated with second quarter performance, this forecast has been revised to reflect management's updated expectations for Medicare marketing costs in the latter half of 2006. In order to maximize 2007 Medicare growth opportunities, the company now anticipates its second-half 2006 Medicare marketing costs to be approximately $0.15 per share higher than it had previously forecast.
"Strong results in our Medicare Advantage, Commercial and TRICARE businesses combined to produce second-quarter earnings that significantly surpassed our expectations," said Michael B. McCallister, Humana's president and chief executive officer. "We're on track to grow revenues by 50 percent this year as we enhance our reputation as the consumer leader in health benefits and expand our Medicare business into a long-term growth engine."
For the six months ended June 30, 2006 (1H06) the company reported $1.03 in EPS compared to $1.14 (a) for the six months ended June 30, 2005 (1H05). The year-over-year decline in year-to-date results was expected given the change in the quarterly pattern of 2006 earnings primarily driven by the introduction of the company's stand-alone Medicare PDPs in January 2006. Higher Medicare administrative costs in 1H06 versus 1H05 also contributed to the decline in earnings from the 2005 period. Given these factors, earnings are expected to increase in the second half of the year compared to the same period in 2005.
Revenues - 2Q06 consolidated revenues rose 52 percent to $5.41 billion from $3.55 billion in 2Q05, with total premium and administrative services fees also up 52 percent compared to the prior year's quarter. These increases were primarily the result of higher enrollment in the company's Medicare Advantage plans and new 2006 revenues from stand-alone PDPs for Medicare beneficiaries.
1H06 consolidated revenues rose 46 percent to $10.11 billion from $6.93 billion in 1H05 with total premium and administrative services fees up 45 percent compared to the prior year's period, also primarily driven by enrollment in the company's Medicare Advantage plans and stand-alone PDPs.
Medical costs - The company's medical expense ratio (medical expenses as a percent of premium revenue or MER) of 85.1 percent in 2Q06 was 130 basis points higher than that for 2Q05 as year-over-year improvement in this metric for the Commercial Segment was offset by a higher Government Segment MER. The higher MER in the Government Segment primarily results from the introduction of the stand-alone PDP results in 2006, as described more fully in the Government Segment results discussion below.
The consolidated MER for 1H06 of 84.4 percent was 60 basis points higher than the 1H05 consolidated MER of 83.8 percent, driven by the same factors affecting the 2Q06 MER.
Selling, general, & administrative (SG&A) expenses - The company's consolidated SG&A expense ratio (SG&A expenses as a percent of premiums plus administrative services fees or SG&A expense ratio) decreased to 13.7 percent for 2Q06 from 14.0 percent (a) in 2Q05. This resulted primarily from growth in revenues which began to outpace the related increase in administrative spending on a consolidated basis during the quarter. The consolidated SG&A ratio improved 240 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2006 for this reason.
The SG&A expense ratio for 1H06 of 14.8 percent was 70 basis points higher than the 1H05 ratio of 14.1 percent (a) due to the increase in SG&A expenses associated with the Medicare expansion in the first quarter of 2006 coupled with an increase in the percentage of Commercial medical members in ASO accounts. The increase in the Medicare administrative costs results from the build out of infrastructure and support functions in advance of the anticipated continued escalation in enrollment as well as sales and marketing spending occurring in a more concentrated 2006 Medicare selling season.
Government Segment Results Summary
Pretax results:
-- Government Segment pretax earnings were $98.0 million in 2Q06 compared to $102.5 million(a) in 2Q05. This decline was anticipated because Medicare stand-alone PDP offerings changed the company's quarterly pattern of earnings for 2006 given the medical expense patterns associated with PDP benefit designs.
-- For 1H06, pretax earnings for the Government Segment of $119.6 million were $53.4 million, or 31 percent lower than 1H05 pretax earnings for the segment of $173.0 million(a) with the first half results also impacted primarily by the new PDP offerings in 2006.
Enrollment:
-- Medicare Advantage membership rose to 959,800 at June 30, 2006, an increase of 485,500, or 102 percent, from June 30, 2005 and 218,600, or 29 percent, from March 31, 2006. The company's expanded participation in various Medicare products and markets combined with the company's increased sales and marketing efforts for these programs led to the higher membership level.
-- July 2006 Medicare Advantage membership approximated 990,000. The company now expects Medicare Advantage membership will approximate 1 million at December 31, 2006.
-- Membership in the company's stand-alone PDPs totaled 3,458,800 at June 30, 2006, a sequential increase of 1.5 million, or 77 percent, primarily driven by strong sales during the final two weeks of the open enrollment period which ended on May 15, 2006. The company now anticipates stand-alone PDP membership of approximately 3.5 million at the end of 2006. The significant PDP membership growth during May is not anticipated to substantially increase the company's net earnings for 2006. This is primarily due to the front-loaded pattern of medical spend generally associated with PDP members and the shortened time frame during which such spending would occur for these members through the remainder of 2006 given their enrollment timing.
-- As expected, TRICARE membership of 2,874,500 at June 30, 2006 was essentially unchanged from March 31, 2006. The company also anticipates no material change in TRICARE membership during 2006 compared to year-end 2005.
-- Medicaid membership of 418,500 at June 30, 2006 declined 59,400 from June 30, 2005 and 8,500 from March 31, 2006 due primarily to the non-renewal of the Illinois Medicaid contract in the third quarter of 2005 and a continuing shift of eligible Puerto Rico Medicaid members to the Medicare program.
Revenues:
-- Medicare Advantage premiums of $2.11 billion in 2Q06 increased 93 percent compared to $1.09 billion in 2Q05, primarily the result of higher enrollment, increases in per-member revenues from CMS, and the expanded geography across which Medicare Advantage products were offered. Medicare Advantage premiums per member increased 2 percent year over year during 2Q06, primarily resulting from the increase in per-member revenues from CMS, combined with an increase in the percentage of Medicare Advantage members in the company's Private Fee-For-Service products together with a more diverse geographic mix than in the prior year. At June 30, 2006, approximately 46 percent of the company's Medicare Advantage members were in Private Fee-For-Service plans versus 11 percent at June 30, 2005.
-- Medicare PDP premiums added $801.8 million in new revenues in 2Q06 versus 2Q05.
-- TRICARE premiums and administrative services fees during 2Q06 of $668.8 million compared to $626.6 million in 2Q05. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects a higher reimbursement for claims incurred in 2Q06 combined with revenue from favorable performance for the second option period which concluded on March 31, 2006.
Medical Expenses:
-- The Government Segment MER increased 220 basis points to 86.0 percent in 2Q06 compared to 83.8 percent in the prior year's quarter. The increase is primarily the result of the establishment of the stand-alone PDPs in January 2006. The MER for the company's PDP business was 92.7 percent for 2Q06.
-- The MER for stand-alone PDP offerings over each of the interim reporting periods is impacted by the recognition of benefit costs as incurred under each plan's provisions. Different PDP designs offered by the company result in varying levels of coverage through each of the different layers of beneficiary cost responsibility. The company now anticipates an MER for the full year for its stand-alone PDPs in the range of 86 percent to 89 percent, with MER improvement expected in each quarter sequentially throughout the remainder of the year. Variables that may impact the quarterly MER for the stand-alone PDPs primarily include: (1) the timing of member enrollment, (2) the PDP offering chosen by the member, and (3) the speed with which members move through their deductibles.
SG&A Expenses:
-- The Government Segment's SG&A expense ratio for 2Q06 of 11.5 percent was 90 basis points higher than that for 2Q05 of 10.6 percent(a) primarily driven by expenses associated with the infrastructure build out of the company's expanded Medicare offerings. In particular, marketing expenses and service costs per member were higher year over year. On a sequential basis, the segment's SG&A ratio improved 230 basis points primarily due to the administrative cost leverage provided by revenues associated with higher average membership for this segment.
-- The company anticipates that its SG&A expense ratio for the second half of 2006 will improve over that for 1H06 as marketing expenses decline during the Medicare Advantage lock-in period that began July 1, 2006, and the average membership associated with the Medicare expansion increases throughout the year, providing more leverage against administrative costs.
Commercial Segment Results Summary
Pretax results:
-- Results for the Commercial Segment during 2Q06 reflect pretax income of $42.3 million compared to $22.3 million(a) in 2Q05. Commercial Segment operating earnings in 2Q06 primarily reflect year-over-year improvements in medical cost utilization trends and the company's commitment to underwriting discipline.
-- For 1H06, pretax earnings for the Commercial Segment of $152.0 million were $83.5 million, or 122 percent higher than 1H05 pretax earnings for the segment of $68.5 million(a) primarily reflecting the same drivers which impacted 2Q06 earnings performance combined with higher-than-average capital gains in the first quarter of 2006.
Enrollment:
-- Commercial Segment medical membership of 3,313,900 at June 30, 2006 increased approximately 114,200, or 4 percent, from June 30, 2005 and 54,500, or 2 percent, from March 31, 2006. The sequential increase in Commercial Segment medical membership was primarily the result of the company's acquisition of CHA Health on May 1, 2006.
-- Membership in the company's Smart plans and other consumer offerings increased year over year to 416,400 at June 30, 2006, representing approximately 13 percent of Commercial medical membership compared to 11 percent at June 30, 2005 and 13 percent at March 31, 2006.
Revenues:
-- Premiums and administrative services fees for the Commercial Segment decreased 1 percent to $1.64 billion in 2Q06 compared to $1.66 billion in the prior year's quarter, as an increase in administrative services fees resulting from a 21 percent increase in ASO membership was more than offset by lower premiums due to declines in at-risk enrollment.
-- Commercial Segment medical premiums for fully insured groups increased approximately 5.5 percent on a per-member basis during 2Q06 compared to 2Q05. This increase primarily includes the effect of a greater percentage of the company's fully-insured group block being weighted towards small groups, as its large group business becomes more weighted towards ASO. Premium yield and medical cost trends for the small group business generally include a higher level of benefit buy-downs versus larger employers. The company anticipates the FY06 range of increase in commercial premiums for fully insured group membership to be in the range of the expected increase in per-member medical costs.
Medical Expenses:
-- In 2Q06, the Commercial Segment MER of 82.9 percent was 90 basis points lower than the 2Q05 MER of 83.8 percent, again primarily reflecting improving medical cost utilization trends and the company's commitment to underwriting discipline.
-- Per-member medical costs for commercial fully insured group accounts are now forecasted to rise in the range of 5.5 to 6.5 percent during 2006, including the effect of a greater percentage of the company's fully-insured groups being weighted towards small employers, as discussed above.
-- The company continues to project individual components of commercial medical cost trend for 2006 will approximate as follows: inpatient hospital utilization - flat to 1 percent; inpatient and outpatient hospital rates - upper single digits; outpatient hospital utilization - low to mid single digits; physician - mid single digits; and pharmacy - high single digits to low double digits.
SG&A Expenses:
-- The Commercial Segment SG&A expense ratio of 18.8 percent for 2Q06 compares to 17.7 percent(a) in 2Q05, primarily the result of lower average fully-insured medical enrollment and an increase in the percentage of commercial medical membership related to ASO to 43 percent in 2Q06 versus 37 percent in the prior year. On a sequential basis, the segment's SG&A ratio improved 160 basis points primarily due to progressively higher administrative cost leverage.
Cash Flows from Operations
Cash flows provided by operations for 2Q06 of $534.9 million compared to $179.3 million(a) in 2Q05. The company also evaluates operating cash flows on a non-GAAP basis(b)(c).
Cash flows from operations ($ in millions) 2Q06 2Q05(a) 1H06 1H05(a) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GAAP cash flows provided by operations $534.9 $179.3 $1,542.8 $274.9 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Timing of premium payment from CMS (c) (257.2) -- (1,031.7) 19.8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-GAAP cash flows provided by operations (b)(c) $277.7 $179.3 $511.1 $294.7 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Non-GAAP cash flows provided by operations rose to $277.7 million in 2Q06 from $179.3 million in 2Q05 driven by growth in the company's Medicare operations. The company now expects that cash flows from operations for 2006 will be in the range of $850 million to $950 million driven by expected higher earnings over the prior year together with anticipated changes in working capital.
Footnotes --------- (a) In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Humana adopted the retrospective method for implementing new stock option accounting rules on January 1, 2006. Consequently, prior period results in this news release have been adjusted to retrospectively reflect the expensing of stock options. (b) The Company has included certain financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP within this news release. The company believes that these non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to both management and its investors in analyzing the company's ongoing business and operating performance. Internally, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as indicators of business performance, as well as for operational planning and decision making purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. (c) When reviewing and analyzing Humana's operating cash flows, company management applies the CMS premium payment in each month to match the corresponding disbursements. To do otherwise distorts meaningful analysis of the company's operating cash flow. Therefore, decisions such as management's forecasting and business plans regarding cash flow use this non-GAAP financial measure.

S-18 Footnotes to Statistical Schedules and Supplementary Information 2Q06 Earnings Release Footnote -------- (A) Adjusted to include stock-based compensation expense. Under SFAS 123R, which the company adopted effective January 1, 2006 using the modified retrospective method, stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on the grant date fair value over the vesting period. (B) Computed based on average membership for the period (i.e., monthly ending membership during the period divided by the number of months in the period). (C) TRICARE revenues are not contracted on a per member basis. (D) In a limited number of circumstances, the company contracts with hospitals and physicians to accept financial risk for a defined set of HMO membership. In transferring this risk, the company prepays these providers a monthly fixed-fee per member to coordinate substantially all of the medical care for their capitated HMO membership, including some health benefit administrative functions and claims processing. For these capitated HMO arrangements, the company generally agrees to reimbursement rates that target a medical expense ratio ranging from 82% to 89%. Providers participating in hospital-based capitated HMO arrangements generally receive a monthly payment for all of the services within their system for their HMO membership. Providers participating in physician-based capitated HMO arrangements generally have subcontracted specialist physicians and are responsible for reimbursing such hospitals and physicians for services rendered to their HMO membership. (E) In some circumstances, the company contracts with physicians under risk-sharing arrangements whereby physicians have assumed some level of risk for all or a portion of the medical costs of their HMO membership. Although these arrangements do include capitation payments for services rendered, the company processes substantially all of the claims under these arrangements. (F) IBNR represents an estimate of medical expenses payable for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) at the balance sheet date. The level of IBNR is primarily impacted by membership levels, medical claim trends and the receipt cycle time, which represents the length of time between when a claim is initially incurred and when the claim form is received (i.e. a shorter time span results in lower reserves for claims IBNR). Other medical expenses payable includes amounts payable to providers under capitation arrangements. (G) TRICARE IBNR decreased due to favorable development as more fully discussed in Footnote M below. (H) TRICARE other medical expenses payable may include liabilities to subcontractors and/or risk share payables to the Department of Defense. The level of these balances may fluctuate from period to period due to the timing of payment (cutoff) and whether or not the balances are payables or receivables (receivables from the Department of Defense are classified as receivables in the company's balance sheet). (I) Unprocessed claim inventories represent the estimated valuation of claims received but not yet fully processed. TRICARE claim inventories are not included in this amount as an independent third party administrator processes all TRICARE medical claims on the company's behalf. Reserves for TRICARE unprocessed claims inventory are included in TRICARE IBNR. (J) Processed claim inventories represent the estimated valuation of processed claims that are in the post-claim-adjudication process, which consists of administrative functions such as audit and check batching and handling. (K) The balance due to the company's pharmacy benefit administrator fluctuates as a result of the number of business days in the last payment cycle of the month. Payment cycles are every 10 days (10th & 20th of month) and the last day of the month. (L) The impact of any change in "incurred related to prior years" claims is offset as the company re-establishes such amounts in the "incurred related to current year". (M) Changes in estimates of TRICARE incurred claims for prior years recognized during 2006 and 2005 resulted primarily from claim costs and utilization levels developing favorably from the levels originally estimated for the second half of the prior year. As a result of substantial risk-sharing provisions with the Department of Defense and with subcontractors, any resulting impact on operations from the change in estimates of incurred related to prior years is substantially reduced, whether positive or negative. (N) The receipt cycle time measures the average length of time between when a claim was initially incurred and when the claim form was received. Receipt cycle time data for the company's largest claim processing platforms representing approximately 82% of the company's fully insured claims volume. Pharmacy claims are excluded from this measurement. (O) A common metric for monitoring medical claim reserve levels relative to the medical claims expense is days in claims payable, or DCP, which represents the medical claim liabilities at the end of the period divided by average medical expenses per day in the quarterly period. Since the company has some providers under capitation payment arrangements (which do not require a medical claim IBNR reserve), the company has also summarized this metric excluding capitation expense. (P) Excludes the impact of Medicare stand-alone PDPs. (Q) DCP fluctuates due to a number of issues, the more significant of which are detailed in the rollforward of DCP from the fourth quarter of the prior year. Growth in certain product lines can also impact DCP for the quarter since a provision for claims would not have been recorded for members that had not yet enrolled earlier in the quarter, yet those members would have a provision and corresponding reserve recorded upon enrollment later in the quarter.
