Management Comments

Richard A. Barasch, Chairman and CEO, commented, “Our core strength and the foundation of our future is partnering with primary care physicians to improve health outcomes while reducing cost in the Medicare population. With the pending sales of our Traditional Insurance and Medicaid businesses, we can concentrate on building our Medicare Advantage business and continuing the momentum in our Medicare ACO business.

“Our Medicare Advantage business is now concentrated in regions where we have a meaningful market position, strong relationships with primary care physicians and the ability to positively impact the quality and cost of healthcare. Approximately 97% of our members are in plans with 4 Stars.

“We are building on our successful 15-year history of working closely with our physician partners in the Houston/Beaumont region to improve quality and reduce cost for Medicare beneficiaries. Our first quarter 2016 results demonstrate the ongoing strength of this business.

“We are pleased that in partnership with many of our most experienced Houston doctors, we were awarded a Next Generation ACO beginning in January 2016. In effect, this adds approximately 16,700 full risk Medicare beneficiaries to the 65,500 Medicare beneficiaries that we are already serving in our Southeast Texas MA business.

“In the Northeast, especially upstate New York, we are in the process of converting a fee-for-service market into a more value-based system by introducing pay for performance to primary care physicians. We are pleased that the Northeast, even factoring out our prior period items, has returned to profitability.

“In our Medicare ACO business, we have reduced the number of ACOs to 21, reduced our expenses and have moved our most successful ACOs to 2-sided risk. We are encouraged by the improvements in cost and quality shown by our physician partners and by the positive regulatory changes in the MSSP program.”

(1) During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we changed the way in which we estimate changes in risk-adjusted premiums receivable from CMS, which resulted in the accelerated recognition of approximately $9.7 million of additional current year premium revenue in the 1st quarter. See our Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2016 for additional discussion

* Excluding quality initiatives.
** Recast excludes the impact of prior period items.

The Medicare Advantage segment pre-tax operating income for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 was $22.2 million. First quarter 2016 included $7.9 million of net favorable prior period items.

Texan Plus®, a 4-Star plan, is the largest Medicare HMO in Southeast Texas. Texan Plus® now has 65,500 members and has achieved 9% compounded membership growth over the past four years. Virtually all of our members in this plan are in value-based payment arrangements. For the first quarter of 2016, excluding Quality Initiatives (QI) expenses, the reported Medical Benefit Ratio (MBR) in our Texas HMOs was 82.2%. Excluding positive prior period items, the MBR was 83.3% for the first quarter.

Effective January 1, 2016, in partnership with a high-performing group of our Houston physicians, our Houston-based ACO was selected by CMS to become a Next Generation ACO, a value-based payment model that encourages providers to assume greater risk and reward in coordinating the healthcare of Medicare Fee-For-Service (FFS) beneficiaries. The Next Generation ACO adds approximately 16,700 beneficiaries in a full-risk program that allows us to use many of the same techniques, including creating preferred networks and negotiating discounts that have worked well for our Medicare Advantage plan in Houston.

Our Northeast markets experienced a 52% increase in membership since 2014 year-end and now have 45,200 members with a large concentration in upstate New York. For the first quarter of 2016, the reported MBR in our Northeast markets, excluding QI expenses, was 81.5%. Excluding positive prior period items, the MBR was 84.3% for the first quarter.

Our administrative expense ratio improved to 9.4%, compared to 9.6% for the same period in 2015 primarily as a result of higher premiums associated with membership growth. Our administrative ratio is typically lower in the first quarter than for the full year due to the seasonality of expenses.

Segment loss before income taxes $ (8.5) $ (11.7)
 

The MSO segment includes our ACO business, which collaborates with physicians and other healthcare professionals to operate ACOs under the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) and the Next Generation ACO model in Houston, Texas. At March 31, 2016, we have 21 MSSP ACOs and one Next Generation ACO with approximately 236,000 beneficiaries as compared to 25 MSSP ACOs with 292,000 beneficiaries at March 31, 2015. During 2015, the Company exited certain ACOs where it determined that the MSSP would not be successful. Consequently, our losses declined to $8.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $11.7 in the first quarter of 2015.

Due to the expected timing of receipt of information from CMS, we expect to report our shared savings revenue for the 2015 program year during the second quarter of 2016.

The Medicaid segment includes the Total Care health plan in Upstate New York with approximately 38,000 members. The pre-tax operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 decreased $2.1 million from the same period in 2015 primarily as a result of higher claims costs and unfavorable prior period items. The medical benefits ratio was 93.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with 89.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

On April 19, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement with Molina Healthcare, Inc. in which Molina will acquire Total Care for a purchase price of $41.3 million, subject to closing date balance sheet adjustments. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions and is expected to close in 3rd quarter 2016.

Our Corporate & Other segment , which reflects the activities of our parent holding company and debt service, reported a loss of $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to a loss of $10.6 million in the same period in 2015. This was primarily due to lower debt services costs, as our term loan was paid off in 2015, and lower corporate expenses.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations includes our Traditional Insurance business, which is treated as held for sale, and the APS businesses, which were sold in 2015.

The following table presents the components comprising the loss from discontinued operations:

Traditional Insurance - The improvement in operating results was primarily driven by the absence of deferred acquisition cost amortization in the first quarter of 2016, since all DAC was written off at December 31, 2015 in connection with the Traditional Insurance fair value adjustment. During the quarter, we also recorded an adjustment of $2.1 million to adjust carrying value to estimated fair value.

APS Healthcare – 2015 operating results reflected a full quarter of operations for the APS domestic business and one month of operations for the APS Puerto Rico business. In first quarter 2016, we recorded $0.6 million of net earn-out revenue from the APS domestic sale.

(1)   For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, our effective tax rate on continuing operations was 101.6%, resulting in an income tax provision of $3.3 million. For the same period in 2015, our effective tax rate on continuing operations was 98.8%, resulting in an income tax benefit of $12.0 million. The high effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2016 was driven by permanent differences, primarily the non-deductible ACA Fee and non-deductible interest expense on our preferred stock. State income taxes also contributed to the variance in the effective tax rates. For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the tax benefit included $5.4 million in foreign tax credit carryforwards created in connection with the February 2015 sale of APS Puerto Rico. Excluding the foreign tax credit carryforwards, the effective tax rate was 54.7%, driven by permanent items, including the non-deductible ACA Fee and non-deductible interest expense. State and foreign income taxes also contributed to the variance in the effective tax rate. The size of our non-deductible permanent differences (primarily ACA fee and interest on our preferred stock) in relation to our pre-tax income results in a high effective tax rate, which may continue.
(2) Diluted book value per common share (excluding AOCI) represents Total Stockholders’ Equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), plus assumed proceeds from the exercise of vested, in-the-money options, divided by the total shares outstanding plus the shares assumed issued from the exercise of vested, in-the-money options.
(3) Diluted tangible book value per common share represents Total Stockholders’ Equity, excluding AOCI and intangible assets plus assumed proceeds from the exercise of vested, in-the-money options, divided by the total shares outstanding plus the shares assumed issued from the exercise of vested, in-the-money options.
(4) The Debt to Total Capital Ratio (excluding AOCI) is calculated as the ratio of the Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Shares to the sum of Stockholders’ Equity (excluding AOCI) plus the Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Shares.
(5) Adjusted net income is calculated as net income (loss) excluding the following items on after tax basis: ACO results, net realized gains, non-recurring tax benefits, discontinued operations and other non-recurring items.

(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. We have not included a reconciliation of projected earnings per diluted share because projections for some components of this reconciliation are not possible to forecast at this time. The key non-GAAP measures presented in our press release, including reconciliation to GAAP measures, are set forth below.

Universal American uses adjusted net income, calculated as net income excluding ACO results after tax, net realized gains after-tax, non-recurring tax benefit, discontinued operations, after tax and other non-recurring items after-tax as a basis for evaluating operating results. Although the excluded items may recur, we believe that the excluded items do not relate to the performance of Universal American’s core business operations and that adjusted net income provides a more useful comparison of our business performance from period to period.

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 or loss, do not relate to the performance of Universal American’s core 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 performance of Universal American’s core business operations.
