WELLCARE REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
     
 
Company Announces New $300 Million Credit Facility to Support Growth

Tampa, Florida (August 3, 2011) — WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (NYSE: WCG) today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.  As determined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $69.6 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $128.9 million, or $3.05 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010.  The 2010 second quarter net loss arose principally due to $256.5 million of pre-tax charges associated with the previously disclosed government investigations and related litigation.  Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $76.7 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, compared with $38.6 million, or $0.90 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2010.

“These results, as well as our outlook, highlight the progress we have made on WellCare’s top priorities and in particular demonstrate our focus on delivering prudent, profitable growth,” said Alec Cunningham, WellCare’s chief executive officer.  “We will continue to strengthen the alignment of our capabilities with the needs of our government customers, members, and business partners to help ensure we sustain and build on this momentum.”

WellCare’s recent accomplishments are highlighted by second quarter membership growth of 9% year-over-year, which was driven by the Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (“PDP”) and Medicare Advantage segments.  In early July, the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services selected WellCare of Kentucky to serve the state’s new Medicaid program, which is expected to commence in October 2011.  On August 1, 2011, WellCare entered into a new $300 million senior secured credit facility which provides liquidity to support growth, as well as additional flexibility in the management of the Company’s capital structure.  WellCare also has continued to achieve progress on its health care quality and access initiatives with the recent accreditation of its Missouri plan by the National Committee for Quality Assurance and with broad-based improvement in Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set results across the Company’s lines of business.

Highlights of Operations for the Second Quarter
Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2011 increased relative to the second quarter of 2010, primarily due to the favorable development of prior years’ medical benefits payable as well as higher premium revenue, offset in part by increased selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expense and increases in the Medicare Advantage and PDP segments’ medical benefits ratios (“MBRs”).

Membership as of June 30, 2011, increased to 2.4 million, compared with 2.2 million members as of June 30, 2010.  PDP segment membership increased 209,000 year-over-year, or 28%.  Medicare Advantage membership increased year-over-year by 9,000 members, or 8%.  Medicaid segment membership decreased by 11,000 year-over-year to 1.3 million members as of June 30, 2011.

Premium revenue for the second quarter of 2011 increased 10% year-over-year to $1.5 billion.  The increase mainly was due to growth in PDP segment premium revenue, which increased 33% year-over-year.  In addition, second quarter 2011 Medicare Advantage segment revenue increased 11%, and Medicaid segment premium revenue increased 4%, both relative to the second quarter of 2010.

Medical benefits expense for the second quarter of 2011 was $1.2 billion, an increase of 5% from the second quarter of 2010.  The MBR was 80.7% in the second quarter of 2011, compared with 84.5% in the second quarter of 2010.  The decrease principally resulted from favorable development of prior years’ medical benefits payable, predominately in the Medicaid segment, offset in part by increases in the Medicare Advantage and PDP segments’ MBRs.

SG&A expense as determined under GAAP was $165 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $395 million for the same period in 2010.  Adjusted SG&A was $153 million in the second quarter of 2011, an increase from $139 million in the same period last year.  The year-over-year increase in adjusted SG&A expense was driven primarily by technology investments, including those required by regulatory changes, investments in health care quality and medical management, and membership growth.  These increases were offset in part by improvements in operating efficiency.  The adjusted administrative expense ratio was 10.4% in the second quarter of 2011, unchanged from the same period in 2010.

Credit Facility
On August 1, 2011, WellCare entered into a $300 million senior secured credit facility that can be used for general corporate purposes.  The credit agreement includes a $150 million term loan facility as well as a $150 million revolving credit facility.  Also on August 1, 2011, the Company borrowed $150 million pursuant to the term loan facility.  Both the term loan and revolving credit facility are set to expire in August 2016.  The credit agreement contains customary covenants and restrictions.  The new credit agreement replaces WellCare’s previous $65 million revolving credit facility, which was never drawn upon.

Cash Flow and Financial Condition Highlights
Net cash used in operating activities as determined under GAAP was $31 million and $245 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Net cash provided by operating activities, modified for the timing of receipts from, and payments to, WellCare’s government customers, was $45 million for the first half of 2011, compared with the net use of cash of $121 million over the same six month period in 2010.

As of June 30, 2011, unregulated cash and investments were approximately $188 million.  Unregulated cash and investments were approximately $130 million as of March 31, 2011, and $160 million on June 30, 2010.

Days in claims payable were 56 days as of June 30, 2011, compared with 57 days as of March 31, 2011, and 54 days as of June 30, 2010.

Financial Outlook
WellCare is updating its financial outlook for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The following elements of WellCare’s financial outlook have changed:

·  
Adjusted net income per diluted share now is expected to be between approximately $4.60 and $4.80, an increase from the previous guidance for adjusted net income per diluted share of between approximately $3.35 and $3.65.  The increase is driven by favorable development during the first half of 2011 of prior years’ medical benefits payable, as well as an improved operating outlook.

·  
Premium revenue is expected to be between approximately $6.0 and $6.1 billion.  The previous guidance was for premium revenue to be between $5.8 and $5.9 billion.  The increase results primarily from the expected premium revenue from the new Kentucky Medicaid program.

The following elements of WellCare’s financial outlook are unchanged:

·  
The adjusted administrative expense ratio is expected to be in the range of 10.7% to 10.9%.
·  
The 2011 Medicaid segment MBR is anticipated to be below the 2010 MBR.
·  
The 2011 Medicare Advantage and PDP segments’ MBRs each are anticipated to increase relative to the respective 2010 segment MBRs.

All elements of the Company’s outlook exclude the impact of Medicaid premium taxes.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
to Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities
Modified for the Timing of Receipts from, and Payments to, Government Customers
(Dollars in thousands)

The Company reports cash provided by, or used in, operating activities on a non-GAAP basis to exclude the changes in premium receivables, unearned premiums, and other receivables from, and payables to, government customers.  The Company believes that operating cash flow excluding these changes is a useful measure for investors, as the excluded changes are a function of the timing of cash receipts from, and payments to, federal and state government agencies at the end of a period.
