Optum Revenues Increased 19% Year-Over-Year

 

   

UnitedHealthcare Grew to Serve More Than 180,000 Additional People in the Second Quarter and More Than 1.2 Million People Year-to-Date

MINNEAPOLIS (July 19, 2011)UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) today reported second quarter results, highlighted by continuing strong revenue growth from both its UnitedHealthcare and Optum businesses. Second quarter 2011 net earnings were $1.16 per share, and all key performance metrics were again in line with or better than Company expectations.

Stephen J. Hemsley, president and chief executive officer of UnitedHealth Group, said, “We draw on competencies in clinical insight, advanced technology and health information management to achieve a range of solutions for a diversity of customers and market segments through our UnitedHealthcare and Optum businesses. We are achieving strong and consistent growth as customers respond to our focus on consistent fundamental execution and solutions-oriented innovation around their needs.”

The Company updated its full year financial outlook based on second quarter results and business trends, and now forecasts 2011 revenues of $101 billion, net earnings in the range of $4.15 to $4.25 per share and cash flows from operations of more than $6 billion. Each of these has been increased from the previous outlook.

UnitedHealth Group’s consolidated second quarter 2011 revenues of $25.2 billion increased $2 billion or more than 8 percent year-over-year.

 

   

UnitedHealthcare revenues increased by nearly 8 percent, led by a 15 percent year-over-year increase in the UnitedHealthcare Community & State business.

 

   

Optum’s 19 percent revenue increase included double digit percentage revenue advances from each of its three primary businesses.

 

   

Second quarter earnings from operations were $2.1 billion and net earnings were $1.3 billion or $1.16 per share, an increase of 17 percent from second quarter 2010 results.

 

   

The second quarter net margin of 5.0 percent increased 20 basis points from 4.8 percent in the second quarter of 2010.

 

   

Second quarter 2011 cash flows from operations grew 65 percent year-over-year to $1.2 billion from $723 million in the second quarter of 2010.

 

   

There were 10 days sales outstanding in accounts receivable at the end of the second quarter of 2011 compared to 11 days at June 30, 2010. Second quarter 2011 days claims payable decreased three days year-over-year to 47 days at June 30, 2011, due to continued acceleration in the timing of claims receipts.

 

   

UnitedHealth Group’s quarter-end debt to debt-plus-equity ratio of 29 percent was about 1 percent lower than in recent quarters, and annualized return on equity based on second quarter results of 19 percent increased from 18 percent in the second quarter of 2010.

 

   

During the second quarter the Board of Directors increased the Company’s quarterly dividend to a rate of $0.65 per share annually and renewed the share repurchase program with an authorization to repurchase up to 110 million shares over time. UnitedHealth Group repurchased 28.1 million shares for $1.26 billion through the first six months of 2011 and ended the quarter with $1.4 billion in cash available for general corporate use.

The second quarter 2011 medical care ratio of 81.4 percent was stable, decreasing 10 basis points year-over-year. Favorable reserve development of $180 million in second quarter 2011 included $120 million from prior years as compared to $270 million in the second quarter of 2010, $90 million of which related to prior years. Second quarter 2011 results reflect successful efforts in aligning consumer engagement with clinical care management and a moderated level of overall health system use.

 

   

The second quarter operating cost ratio of 14.8 percent increased only 40 basis points year-over-year despite 17 percent growth in overall fee-based revenues, which have only operating costs in their cost structures, as the operating cost ratio for UnitedHealthcare decreased meaningfully year-over-year.

 

   

The second quarter 2011 tax rate decreased 1 percentage point year-over-year to 36 percent, consistent with first quarter 2011. Favorable resolution of various tax matters is projected to reduce the second half 2011 tax rate by about 2 percentage points relative to first half 2011 results.

 

   

As previously reported, UnitedHealthcare will be required to accrue its pro rata share of an assessment related to an unaffiliated and potentially insolvent long-term care insurance carrier under Pennsylvania Insurance laws, if the carrier is declared insolvent. The court has not rendered a decision, so no such costs could be accrued by the Company in second quarter 2011. The Company believes “Street Consensus” second quarter net earnings per share estimates from a number of unaffiliated service providers included as much as $0.15 per share in costs related to this matter.

Second quarter 2011 UnitedHealthcare revenues of $23.7 billion increased $1.7 billion or 8 percent year-over-year. Revenue growth was driven by an increase of 1.6 million people served with medical benefit products in the past year, including 180,000 people in the second quarter of 2011, and an increase of 260,000 stand-alone Medicare Part D prescription drug plan members in the past year. Participation increased in every key product category in the past year, led by growth of 1.1 million people using UnitedHealthcare commercial benefit products.

 

   

Earnings from operations for UnitedHealthcare for the second quarter of 2011 increased year-over-year to $1.8 billion. The second quarter 2011 operating margin improved 30 basis points year-over-year due to the benefits of growth and ongoing cost management disciplines. The decrease in operating margin from first quarter 2011 was due to lower investment income, a lower level of favorable reserve development and sequentially higher operating costs, as expected.

UnitedHealthcare Business Results – Continued

UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual

 

   

UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual second quarter 2011 commercial revenues of $11.3 billion grew $779 million or 7 percent over second quarter 2010 results. The business grew to serve 100,000 more people in second quarter 2011. Growth was led by an increase of 75,000 people using fee-based products and risk-based business grew by 25,000 people. For the trailing 12 months, fee-based offerings grew to serve 850,000 more people and risk-based business served an additional 260,000, bringing total growth to 1.1 million people over that time frame.

 

   

UnitedHealthcare’s commercial medical care ratio decreased 120 basis points year-over-year to 80.7 percent, due to effective clinical management, favorable reserve development and moderated overall health system utilization that more than offset estimated customer rebates.

UnitedHealthcare Medicare & Retirement

 

   

Second quarter Medicare & Retirement revenues of $9.0 billion grew $480 million or 6 percent year-over-year and included growth across the Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and Part D prescription drug programs. The UnitedHealthcare Medicare & Retirement business increased the number of people it serves with medical benefit products by 40,000 in the second quarter and 280,000 in the past 12 months.

 

   

In Medicare Advantage, UnitedHealthcare brought services to 145,000 more people in the past year, a 7 percent year-over-year increase, including a net increase of 20,000 seniors and other beneficiaries in the second quarter.

 

   

Growth in active Medicare Supplement products continued, with the number of people served increasing by 135,000 or 5 percent in the past 12 months, including 20,000 people in the second quarter of 2011.

 

   

At June 30, 2011, 4.8 million seniors and other beneficiaries participated in the Company’s stand-alone Part D prescription drug plans, an increase of 260,000 people over the past 12 months and 35,000 people during the second quarter of 2011.

UnitedHealthcare Community & State

 

   

Second quarter Community & State revenues of $3.3 billion increased $439 million or 15 percent year-over-year. During the past 12 months, the Company expanded its Medicaid services to 245,000 more participants, including 40,000 people in the second quarter. Membership gains and expansion in more complex and comprehensive programs with greater service intensity is driving the revenue growth rate for this business.

Total Optum revenues for the second quarter of 2011 of $7.0 billion increased $1.1 billion or 19 percent, driven by organic growth and contributions from recent acquisitions. All businesses increased revenues strongly year-over-year.

 

   

Optum’s earnings from operations of $340 million in second quarter 2011 were stable year-over-year. Growth in revenues was offset by an expected reduction in operating margins due to changes in business mix within Optum’s businesses and investments for future growth. Overall, the second quarter operating margin of 4.8 percent was stable with the first quarter of 2011.

Optum Business Results – Continued

OptumHealth

 

   

OptumHealth second quarter 2011 revenues of $1.7 billion increased $528 million or 46 percent year-over-year. The revenue increase was led by an expansion in clinical services and strong consumer growth in population health management offerings serving payers and plan sponsors, such as wellness and health coaching services.

 

   

OptumHealth second quarter 2011 earnings from operations of $135 million decreased by $7 million year-over-year and the operating margin decreased to 8.1 percent. Earnings contributions from organic growth and from newer businesses in population health management and clinical services, as well as results from performance-based contracts, offset known earnings pressure from internal business realignments and related revisions to service arrangements, as well as continued investments in new market development.

 

   

OptumHealth Financial Services continued to experience strong growth. At June 30, 2011, assets under management grew 30 percent year-over-year to $1.3 billion, as total bank assets reached $1.7 billion. OptumHealth Financial Services grew the electronic transmission of medical payments over its connectivity network by 26 percent year-over-year to more than $13 billion in the quarter – about 40 percent of UnitedHealth Group’s total spending on health care, including spending on behalf of self-funded customers.

OptumInsight

 

   

OptumInsight second quarter 2011 revenues of $658 million increased $129 million or 24 percent year-over-year, driven by organic growth and contributions from recent acquisitions.

 

   

Second quarter sales bookings, adjusted to reflect the divestiture of the clinical trial services business, increased 106 percent year-over-year, driven by strength in advanced computer-assisted coding, technology and services for accountable care organizations, and products and services addressing health quality and administrative and clinical compliance. The OptumInsight contract revenue backlog, as adjusted, increased 62 percent year-over-year to $3.0 billion.

 

 

   

OptumInsight’s second quarter 2011 earnings from operations of $87 million increased 45 percent year-over-year. The nearly 2 percentage point improvement year-over-year in second quarter operating margin to 13.2 percent includes an improved mix of higher margin product and solution sales. OptumInsight continues to invest in the development of capabilities and offerings to address broad customer needs in modernizing the health care system.

OptumRx

 

   

OptumRx second quarter revenues of $4.7 billion grew 12 percent or $486 million year-over-year, driven by growth in people served, increased prescription volumes and a favorable mix of higher revenue specialty drug prescriptions.

 

   

OptumRx earnings from operations of $118 million decreased $16 million year-over-year. As expected, investments to support growth initiatives offset the earnings contribution from higher revenues.
