WELLCARE REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

Tampa, Florida (August 3, 2012) – WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (NYSE: WCG) today reported results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012.  As determined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $46.4 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, compared with $69.6 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011.  Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $54.5 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, compared with $76.7 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011.

“Our second quarter results exhibited strong operating performance across many parts of our business, as well as the importance of our diversified approach to government programs,” said Alec Cunningham, WellCare’s chief executive officer.  “We are continuing to invest in our quality, service, and growth initiatives and anticipate benefits from these investments during the remainder of 2012.”

Highlights of Recent Accomplishments
·  
Premium revenue in the second quarter of 2012 increased 22% year over year, driven by 31% growth in Medicaid and 25% growth in Medicare Advantage.
·  
The adjusted administrative expense ratio was 8.2% in the second quarter of 2012, a decrease of 100 basis points year over year, demonstrating sustained progress in the Company’s focus on ensuring a competitive cost structure.
·  
The Company’s Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (“PDPs”) segment delivered a strong first half performance, resulting in a 61% year over year increase in gross margin despite a 1% decrease in premium revenue.
·  
WellCare implemented a number of medical expense management initiatives for the Kentucky Medicaid program, targeting continued improvement in the performance of the program during the second half of 2012.
·  
Florida Healthy Kids, the state’s Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”), selected WellCare to serve 65 of Florida’s 67 counties, more than any other health plan.  The program is expected to be effective October 2012.
·  
WellCare agreed to acquire certain assets of Arcadian Health’s Arizona Medicare Advantage plans in Mohave and Yavapai Counties, which currently have approximately 5,000 members, subject to regulatory approvals.  The transaction is expected to close December 31, 2012.
·  
The Company’s ‘Ohana Health Plan successfully launched its participation in Hawaii’s QUEST Medicaid program, serving for the first time Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (“TANF”) and CHIP members across the islands.

Second Quarter Operations
Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2012 decreased compared with the second quarter of 2011 mainly due to favorable development of prior years’ medical benefits payable of $0.95 in net income per diluted share that was included in second quarter 2011 results.  The increase in the Medicaid segment medical benefits ratio (“MBR”), driven by the Kentucky program, also contributed to the year over year reduction in second quarter adjusted net income.  These factors were offset in part by higher premium revenue in our Medicaid and Medicare Advantage segments, the decrease in the Medicare Prescription Drug Plans segment MBR, and the decrease in our adjusted administrative expense ratio.

Membership as of June 30, 2012, increased 7% to nearly 2.6 million, compared with 2.4 million members as of June 30, 2011.  Medicaid segment membership increased by 201,000, or 15%, year over year, to 1.5 million members.  Medicare Advantage segment membership increased by 34,000 year over year, or 27%.  PDP segment membership decreased 64,000 year over year, or 7%.

Premium revenue for the second quarter of 2012 increased 22% year over year to $1.8 billion.  The increase was driven by 31% growth in Medicaid segment premium revenue as well as 25% growth in Medicare Advantage segment premium revenue, partially offset by a 7% decrease in PDP segment revenue.

Medical benefits expense for the second quarter of 2012 was $1.5 billion, an increase of 29% from the second quarter of 2011.  The Company MBR was 86.4% in the second quarter of 2012, compared with 81.9% in the second quarter of 2011.  The Medicaid segment and Medicare Advantage segment MBRs increased year over year, while the PDP segment MBR decreased.  For the second quarter of 2012, prior periods’ development of medical benefits payable did not have a significant impact on the Company MBR.  In the second quarter of 2011, WellCare recognized net favorable development of prior periods’ medical benefits payable that reduced the Company MBR by 460 basis points.

SG&A expense as determined under GAAP was $159 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared with $147 million for the same period in 2011.  Adjusted SG&A was $147 million in the second quarter of 2012, an increase of 9% from $135 million for the same period last year.  The increase was driven primarily by the Kentucky Medicaid program launched in November 2011, as well as the Company’s growth and service initiatives.  The adjusted administrative expense ratio was 8.2% in the second quarter of 2012, compared with 9.2% for the same period in 2011.

Cash Flow and Financial Condition
Net cash used in operating activities as determined under GAAP was $194 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared with $31 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  As previously disclosed, WellCare has experienced temporary premium payment delays by the Georgia Medicaid program.  These delays have had an adverse effect on WellCare’s operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  Modified for the timing of receipts from, and payments to, WellCare’s government customers, net cash used in operating activities was $47 million for the first half of 2012, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $45 million for the first half of 2011.

As of June 30, 2012, unregulated cash and investments were approximately $168 million.  Unregulated cash and investments have decreased primarily from temporary funding of the Company’s Georgia health plan due to premium payment delays by the Georgia Medicaid program.

Days in claims payable were 38 days as of June 30, 2012, compared with 43 days as of March 31, 2012, and 55 days as of June 30, 2011.

Financial Outlook
WellCare is updating its financial outlook for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The following elements of WellCare’s financial outlook have changed:
·  
Adjusted net income per diluted share is expected to be between approximately $5.25 and $5.45.  The previous guidance was for adjusted net income per diluted share to be between approximately $5.20 and $5.40.
·  
Premium revenue is expected to be approximately $7.1 billion.  Previous guidance was for premium revenue to be between approximately $7.0 and $7.1 billion.
·  
The 2012 PDP segment MBR is anticipated to decrease relative to the 2011 PDP segment MBR.  The prior guidance was for the PDP segment MBR to increase year over year.

The following elements of WellCare’s financial outlook are unchanged:
·  
The 2012 Medicaid and Medicare Advantage segments’ MBRs each are anticipated to increase relative to the respective 2011 segment MBRs.
·  
The adjusted administrative expense ratio is expected to be in the range of 8.7% to 8.9%.

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

Webcast
A discussion of WellCare’s second quarter 2012 results will be webcast live on Friday, August 3, 2012, beginning at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.  A replay will be available beginning approximately one hour following the conclusion of the live broadcast and will be available for 30 days.  The webcast is available via the Company’s web site at www.wellcare.com and at www.earnings.com.

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

The Company reports cash used in or provided by operating activities on a non-GAAP basis modified to exclude the changes in premium receivables, unearned premiums, and other receivables from, and payables to, government customers.  The Company believes that cash used in or provided by operating activities modified to exclude 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 each period.
