Updates Guidance to Reflect Pending Magellan Complete Care Divestiture

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 29, 2020-- Magellan Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGLN) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, as summarized below:

Magellan Complete Care Business Reflected as Discontinued Operations

As previously announced, on April 30, 2020, the Company and Molina Healthcare, Inc. (Molina) entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement in which the Company has agreed to sell its Magellan Complete Care (MCC) business to Molina. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented now reflect the MCC business as discontinued operations. In addition, the Company’s updated 2020 guidance now reflects its continuing operations, thereby excluding the MCC business from guidance for the full fiscal year 2020.

Second Quarter 2020 Highlights (all percentage changes compare second quarter 2020 to second quarter 2019 for continuing operations unless otherwise noted):

• Net revenue decreased 4.7 percent to $1.1 billion.
• Net income increased 552.9 percent to $47.1 million.
• Segment profit increased 6.4 percent to $57.0 million.
• Adjusted net income increased 64.7 percent to $21.3 million.
• Unrestricted cash and investments were $161.5 million as of June 30, 2020. Approximately $29 million of the unrestricted cash and investments at June 30, 2020 is related to excess capital and undistributed earnings held at regulated entities of continuing operations. In addition, the Company had approximately $160 million of excess capital and undistributed earnings held at regulated entities of discontinued operations at June 30, 2020.
• On June 24, 2020, the Company announced the election of Christopher J. Chen, M.D., and Mural R. (Joe) Josephson to Magellan’s board of directors at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
• On June 16, 2020, the Company announced the appointment of Dr. Caroline Carney as the chief medical officer.
• On July 6, 2020, the Company announced the appointment of Darren Lehrich as the chief investor relations officer.

“Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, I continue to be inspired by the dedication and resilience of our organization,” said Kenneth Fasola, chief executive officer, Magellan Health.

“As we look to the balance of 2020, our strategic priorities remain intact. We are resolute in delivering on our existing commitments, lowering our operating cost structure, strengthening our capabilities through innovation, and improving our ability to capitalize on growth opportunities. The culmination of these efforts will strengthen our competitive position and lead to stronger growth in the future,” continued Fasola.

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2020, was $1.1 billion, representing a 4.7 percent decrease from the second quarter of 2019. This decrease was largely attributable to net contract losses within the healthcare segment.

Segment Profit

Segment profit was $57.0 million for the second quarter, compared to $53.6 million in the second quarter of 2019.

• Healthcare segment profit was $60.8 million, representing an increase of $19.7 million from the second quarter of 2019. This year-over-year increase was primarily driven by lower utilization trends in the specialty healthcare reporting unit due to COVID-19.
• Pharmacy Management segment profit was $13.2 million, representing a decrease of $17.6 million from the second quarter of 2019. This year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by losses in the Medicare Part D business, customer settlements related to prior periods, and start-up costs associated with the Medi-Cal contract implementation.
• Corporate costs inclusive of eliminations, but excluding stock compensation expense, totaled $17.1 million, as compared to $18.3 million in the second quarter of 2019.

Other Items

The Company recorded a $38.9 million income tax benefit during the second quarter of 2020 associated with deferred tax assets in connection with the pending divestiture of MCC to Molina. The Company recorded a special charge of $8.3 million during the second quarter of 2020 associated with lease terminations and abandonments related to planned reductions to the Company’s real estate footprint. The non-recurring tax benefit and the special charge are reflected as reconciling items for the adjusted net income calculation.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the second quarter of 2020 was $36.4 million, as compared to $6.4 million during the second quarter of 2019. This improvement was primarily driven by lower utilization trends due to COVID-19.

Cash Flow & Balance Sheet

Cash flow used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was $7.5 million, as compared to cash provided by operations of $45.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The year over year change is primarily attributable to timing of accounts receivable and other working capital.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s unrestricted cash and investments totaled $161.5 million, an increase of $80.5 million from the balance at December 31, 2019. Approximately $29 million of the unrestricted cash and investments at June 30, 2020 is related to excess capital and undistributed earnings held at regulated entities of continuing operations. In addition, the Company had approximately $160 million of excess capital and undistributed earnings held at regulated entities of discontinued operations at June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020, the Company had $320 million of undrawn capacity on the Company’s $400 million revolving credit facility.

“We were pleased with solid second quarter results, and believe our key initiatives for the balance of 2020 should establish a stronger foundation for future growth. We will also have significant financial flexibility to add shareholder value following the completion of the MCC sale, and we will remain disciplined as we evaluate opportunities to deploy capital,” said Jonathan N. Rubin, chief financial officer, Magellan Health.

Updated 2020 Guidance

The Company announced its updated 2020 fiscal year guidance parameters for continuing operations. This updated guidance excludes the MCC business, which is now reflected as discontinued operations retrospective to January 1, 2020.

The Company expects net revenue in the range of $4.4 billion to $4.6 billion. Net income is expected to be in the range of $15 million to $27 million, which equates to a diluted earnings per share range of $0.59 to $1.06. Adjusted net income is expected to be in the range of $16 million to $28 million, which equates to an adjusted EPS range of $0.63 to $1.10. Segment profit for the full year 2020 is expected to be in the range of $145 million to $165 million. This updated segment profit guidance includes $25 million to $30 million of stranded overhead costs that were previously allocated to the MCC business, but are required to be reclassified to continuing operations in accordance with GAAP. Following the closing of the MCC transaction, the Company expects approximately half of the stranded overhead costs to be mitigated through planned cost reductions, while the remaining amount is expected to be largely offset in 2021 by payments under a transition services agreement with Molina.

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 revenue 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, special charges or benefits, 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, amortization of identified acquisition intangibles, as well as impairment of identified acquisition intangibles, special charges, and any impact related to the sale of MCC.

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