HEALTHWAYS REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS
¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾
AFFIRMS ESTABLISHED FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR 2012
¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾
CONTINUES STRONG CONTRACTING MOMENTUM


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 24, 2012)Ben R. Leedle, Jr., president and chief executive officer of Healthways, Inc. (NASDAQ: HWAY), today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.  Total revenues increased to $165.2 million for the quarter from $163.0 million for the first quarter of 2011.  There was a net loss for the first quarter of 2012 of $2.7 million, or $0.08 per share, compared with net income of $4.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the first quarter last year.
 
Commenting on the announcement, Leedle remarked, “We are pleased to have produced increased revenues for the first quarter, more than offsetting the $15.2 million reduction in comparable-quarter revenues related to the previously announced wind-down of the Cigna contract.  In fact, excluding Cigna, we experienced comparable-quarter revenue growth of more than 13%.  This performance marks the third consecutive quarter of comparable-quarter revenue growth, excluding the impact of the final settlement with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in the fourth quarter of 2010.  Consistent with our established guidance for 2012, the $0.04 per share loss in our domestic operations for the first quarter reflected the impact of the reduction in Cigna revenues, the continued wind-down during the quarter of costs related to that contract and the timing of recognizing performance-based fees.  The $0.04 loss in international operations was impacted by a go-live delay in France with Caisse Nationale d’Assurance Maladie des Travailleurs Salaries (CNAMTS).  The delay is primarily a result of regulatory administrative issues that were not resolved within CNAMTS’ expected timeframe.  We expect the CNAMTS contract to go live in the second quarter. See pages 8 and 9 for a reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP measures.
 
“We are affirming our established financial guidance for 2012 based on the ongoing and anticipated ramp-up of large contracts signed in 2011, contracts signed thus far in 2012 and our continued expectations for achieving our performance-based revenues.  In addition, we expect the momentum evident in our business development pipeline will produce additional contract signings during 2012. As discussed previously, we also expect revenues and earnings will increase sequentially for the remainder of the year.  We also expect a return to profitability for the second quarter.  We continue to expect net cash flows provided by operations for the year of $60 million to $80 million, which will more than fund anticipated capital expenditures for the year.”

Business Development Momentum Continues

Leedle further commented, “Continuing the momentum evident in the Company’s 2011 contract signings, Healthways executed 33 contracts during the first quarter of 2012, which included nine new contracts, nine expanded contracts and 15 extended contracts.  We have already signed several major new contracts during the second quarter.  In addition, we have also re-signed one of the three contracts up for renewal in 2012, each of which accounted for over 2% of 2011 revenues.  We are greatly encouraged by the deep engagement we are experiencing with health plans and health systems with regard to large, long-term and strategic contract opportunities.
 
“The contracts signed to date in 2012 reflect a growing diversity of substantial market opportunities for the Company.  These include Dean Health Plan, a new health plan customer; an expanded contract with Rocky Mountain Health Plans, an existing health plan customer; a new contract with the State of Ohio; and a new contract with the City of Chicago.  We also announced our first healthcare system contract for Physician-Directed Population Health (PDPH) management. This strategic agreement is with Texas Health Resources (Texas Health), one of the largest faith-based, nonprofit health systems in the U.S., which serves a market of approximately 6.4 million people through its broad array of healthcare facilities and services and its relationships with over 5,500 physicians.  Our ground-breaking 10-year contract is designed to transform the organization and delivery of, and payment for, healthcare in North Texas, regardless of the ultimate resolution of healthcare reform legislation.  By implementing a pro-active well-being improvement model, focused on longitudinal cost and quality outcomes and value-based payment, we expect to strengthen Texas Health’s market leadership while providing substantial, long-term benefits to individuals, physicians, payers, employers, government entities and communities in North Texas.
 
“Our contract with Texas Health reflects our expectations for the conversion of large business development opportunities that we have been discussing for the past year and a half.  We believe that this contract has broad promise as a model for other healthcare systems.  We expect to sign additional large, strategic contracts during 2012 that will support our ability to drive sustainable growth.  As previously discussed, these contracts reflect trends in healthcare, including:

·  
Anticipation of healthcare insurance exchanges;
·  
Movement to a value-based payment system from a volume-based system;
·  
Demand for comprehensive, integrated solutions for whole populations;

·  
Foreign government adoption of total population health management; and
·  
Engagement by large employers to reap cost, performance and productivity gains from improved well-being.

“These trends have accelerated our business development in 2012, especially with regard to our domestic opportunities with integrated healthcare systems, hospitals, physicians, regional health plans, employers and government entities.  We are well positioned to serve these markets because of our record of proven outcomes and our willingness to accept financial risk for performance; our development of, and leadership in, the business of population health management; our scalable solutions; and our long-term history of compelling innovation to expand our value proposition. Healthways is addressing these opportunities with solutions designed in anticipation of, and highly aligned with, the fundamental changes sweeping healthcare today.”

Ascentia Acquisition Enhances Physician-Directed Population Health Management

“To strengthen our ability to support the deep integration with physicians required in total population health management contracts, such as with Texas Health and other new and existing customers, yesterday we announced the acquisition of Ascentia Health Care Solutions, an 11-year old privately held Philadelphia-based company,” added Leedle.  “Ascentia brings to Healthways an experienced and talented leadership team; a proven value proposition and economic model; proprietary physician practice change management processes and governance models for the physician enterprise; and third-party validated longitudinal population health outcomes, which are all delivered and supported by a scalable analytics and technology platform.  The Ascentia model is designed by physicians for physicians to enable PDPH management.  Ascentia was formerly a part of Renaissance Medical Management Company (RMMC) and continues to provide its solutions to RMMC, as well as to physician groups affiliated with regional health plans in the Pennsylvania market.  The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services chose RMMC as one of the 32 pioneer Accountable Care Organizations in part because of the proven solutions delivered by Ascentia.”
 
Jon Scholl, Texas Health chief strategy officer, commented on the acquisition announcement saying, “Healthways capabilities will offer physicians a level of analytic detail and solution support never before possible so they can intervene in ways that are unheard of now to improve the health and well-being of their entire panel of patients. I believe that the science-based approach to behavior change developed by Healthways, when delivered through the physician, is the key for sustainable success. The acquisition of Ascentia by Healthways further illustrates their commitment to helping physicians, healthcare systems and health plans transform themselves to being fully capable of delivering the PDPH model in collaborative fashion.”

Revenue Guidance

Healthways today affirmed its guidance for 2012 revenues in a range of $665 million to $705 million.  This guidance includes revenues from domestic operations in a range of $638 million to $670 million and from international revenues in a range of $27 million to $35 million.  Healthways expects quarterly revenues for 2012 to grow sequentially through the remainder of the year.

Summary

Leedle concluded, “We believe our contracting success thus far in 2012 continues to validate the ongoing transformation of the healthcare industry and the significant near and long-term growth opportunities these changes are providing Healthways.  We continue to expect to produce revenue growth for 2012, excluding the impact of the Cigna contract wind-down.  We also expect to produce comparable-year revenue growth for 2013.  As a result of the volume, comprehensiveness and duration of contracts signed in 2011 and to-date in 2012, as well as potential near-term contracts we expect to execute reflecting rapidly emerging trends in healthcare, we have the greatest visibility since 2008 toward sustainable growth.”
