¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾
ESTABLISHES FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR 2011

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 15, 2011) – Healthways, Inc. (NASDAQ: HWAY) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.  Total revenues for the quarter were $195.3 million compared with $175.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2009.  Net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $15.6 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared with $7.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2009.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, total revenues were $720.3 million compared with $717.4 million for 2009.  Net income for 2010 was $47.3 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, compared with $10.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share for 2009.

Adjusted revenues for the fourth quarter of 2010 were $173.0 million, which excludes $22.3 million in revenues related to a previously announced final settlement with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (the “CMS Settlement”), compared with $175.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Adjusted net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2010 increased 13.6% over the fourth quarter of 2009 to $0.25, excluding a net $0.20 related to the impact of the CMS Settlement, charges associated with domestic and international capacity consolidation and restructuring (the “Restructuring”), and earnings related to a final adjustment of an estimated earn-out liability.  Adjusted revenues for 2010 were $698.0 million, which excludes the CMS Settlement.  Adjusted net income per diluted share for 2010 was $1.11 – excluding a net $0.24 related to the impact of the CMS Settlement, charges associated with the Restructuring, adjustments to an estimated earn-out liability and an investment gain – which represented a 6.7% increase over adjusted net income per diluted share for 2009 of $1.04, excluding lawsuit settlement costs of $0.73.  See pages 8 through 12 for a reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results.

Ben R. Leedle, Jr., chief executive officer of Healthways, remarked, “Healthways performed in line with our expectations for the fourth quarter of 2010.  While we expected a slight decline in adjusted comparable-quarter domestic revenue, adjusted domestic earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter increased 27.3% compared with the fourth quarter of 2009.  This performance drove an increase in adjusted consolidated EBITDA for the fourth quarter to 17.2% of adjusted revenue from 16.5% for the fourth quarter of 2009.

“Restructuring costs incurred during the fourth quarter were $10.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted share. These costs exceeded the anticipated level of $8 million for the quarter due primarily to greater than expected expenses related to the consolidation and restructuring of our operations in Germany.

“The Company’s net cash flow from operations was $4.0 million for the quarter and $72.9 million for the year, which included the impact of the $28 million payment related to the CMS Settlement. Excluding this payment, net operating cash flow for all 2010 totaled $101 million, just above the high end of our expected range.  Total debt to total capitalization was 36.5% at the end of 2010, as compared to 40.5% at the end of 2009.  For 2010, cash EBITDA was $156.4 million, and the ratio of long-term debt to cash EBITDA was 1.6 at the end of 2010, as compared to 1.9 at the end of 2009 and 1.7 at the end of the third quarter of 2010.”

2011 Financial Guidance

In framing the Company’s financial outlook for 2011, Mr. Leedle added, “During the fourth quarter, we continued to sign new, expanded and extended contracts, including the renewal of two large contracts that had been anticipated during 2010.  In addition, despite continuing disruption in the health care industry related to implementation of health care reform, our fourth-quarter Request for Proposal (“RFP”) volume increased on both a comparable- and sequential-quarter basis.  The timing of these RFPs, our very recently announced signings of significant new contracts and our pipeline of potential contracts reflect market dynamics that are consistent with our previously discussed expectation that in 2011 we will establish a solid business base for growth in 2012 and beyond.

“Through investments in continuing innovation, we have positioned the Company with the capabilities and solutions necessary to effectively address the transformational change facing health

care around the world.  Validation of that investment comes first with signing pioneering contracts, such as our recently announced agreements with Hawaii Medical Service Association (“HMSA”) and the State Government of New South Wales.  These types of contracts will result in an increased intensity of start up and operating costs to implement, engage and ramp eligible membership, and scale the solutions.  Historically, early contracts in the innovation cycle also require increased performance risk, which can affect the timing of revenue recognition.  We are confident in our ability to successfully deliver on the expanded value proposition within these innovative solutions that becomes the catalyst for continued market adoption and brings additional opportunities that fuel sustainable growth.

“Changes in the organization, payment and delivery of health care services are inevitable, both domestically, in the wake of reform, and internationally as both the public and private sectors increasingly struggle with the same issues of escalating disease incidence and costs that we face at home.  These changes are manifest across our entire customer set of health plans, employers and governments, all of which have clearly concluded that business as usual is no longer a sustainable model.  These changes will bring physicians and integrated delivery systems to our market as additional direct customers.

“As we assess the market, evaluate the scope of newly issued RFPs and collaborate with our existing customers, we have identified a number of clearly emerging trends that represent near-term opportunities that we are uniquely positioned to address.  Among these trends are:

1)  
Health plan preparation for the implementation of state insurance exchanges, which is projected to cause significant disruption of their individual and small group fully insured business;

2)  
Change from a volume-based to a performance-based payment system and the associated shift of financial risk and responsibility for cost and quality from health plans to providers;

3)  
Increasing payer requests for a comprehensive, integrated solution that addresses longitudinal health risk and care needs for total populations;

4)  
Global adoption of population health management by both foreign government and foreign private sector health organizations; and
 
5)  
Large employers are recognizing the expanded value of improved well-being to reduce medical cost and improve individual and company productivity and performance.

“Healthways anticipated these trends and has led the industry in the development of both the comprehensive solutions necessary to address them and the tools and infrastructure necessary to deliver these solutions at scale.  As a result, we are now at that point in the innovation cycle where we anticipate the signing of the pioneering contracts that will lead to both near-term and sustainable growth.

“As we progress through 2011, we expect to achieve strategic execution with respect to these new and ongoing growth opportunities.  Our recent major contract expansion with the HMSA is a case in point.  Under the new 10-year contract, Healthways will assume responsibility for HMSA’s disease management, care management, pharmacy benefit management, behavioral health management, health promotion, prevention, quality improvement and related functions for the plan’s approximately 700,000 members across all lines of business.  Our partnership will also work to further the development and implementation of the HMSA state-wide patient-centered medical home

initiative.  In addition to the investment required to integrate services, the contract structure includes significant performance-based fees.  Accordingly, we expect this contract will begin to produce ‘normalized’ revenues and margins in 2012.

“Our second recently announced major contract is to provide a government funded severe chronic disease management program to an estimated 36,000 people in New South Wales, Australia.  The innovative delivery model requires deep integration with hospitals, physicians and other health care providers.  This contract will also require investment in 2011 to launch services that will generate a growing revenue stream as enrollment ramps up during the year.  This is our third enrollment based contract in Australia, and our experience indicates a nine to twelve month period is typically required to reach target engagement levels.  As a result, we expect this contract will reach target financial performance during 2012.

“Despite their anticipated impact on 2011 financial results, these contracts substantiate the Company’s prospects for growth in 2012 and beyond.  Additional prospective agreements reflecting the impact of the emerging market trends may come with similar financial profiles as costs are incurred before full revenue and margin maturity is achieved.  Our past performance with such contracts has proven our ability to deliver the outcomes required to achieve corresponding financial targets and to then drive subsequent meaningful and sustainable growth.”

Revenue Guidance

Healthways today established its guidance for 2011 revenues in a range of $672 million to $710 million.  This range includes revenues from domestic operations in a range of $650 million to $680 million and from international revenues in a range of $22 million to $30 million.

Summary

Mr. Leedle concluded, “With proven, integrated, comprehensive solutions that encompass whole populations regardless of age, gender or health status, as well as the tools, platform and infrastructure necessary to deliver these solutions at scale, we expect the emerging market trends to accelerate and to create further opportunities that engage our core strengths.  These strengths support a value proposition that improves well being, lowers costs and improves individual and business performance through helping healthy people stay healthy, reducing health risks and optimizing care for those with chronic conditions.  Simply put, this value proposition anticipates and is aligned with the transformational change continuing in the health care industry.  In addition, as our recent contracts indicate, we are continuing to innovate to provide our value proposition at increasing levels of significance with health plans, employers, providers, individuals, communities and governments. We believe these contracts and others we expect to sign in 2011 will provide a foundation for growth in 2012 and beyond.”
