WELLCARE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2012 RESULTS


Tampa, Florida (October 31, 2012) – WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (NYSE: WCG) today reported results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  As determined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $38.3 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared with $88.3 million, or $2.03 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011.  Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $46.2 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, compared with $93.2 million, or $2.15 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011.

WellCare’s third quarter 2012 results were below the Company’s expectation, principally as a result of an isolated matter in the Georgia Medicaid program, as well as lower-than-targeted performance of the Kentucky Medicaid program.  In the Georgia program, premium revenue was reduced by $18 million in the third quarter of 2012 related to an unanticipated partial disallowance by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of a 2011 settlement.  The settlement resolved issues with certain premium payments that covered the period from the inception of the program through the settlement and resulted from a comprehensive review and negotiation involving the three health plans that operate in the program.  The Company is in discussions with the state regarding a resolution to this matter.

In addition, WellCare’s Kentucky Medicaid program operating results for the third quarter 2012 were below the Company’s target, due in part to unfavorable development of medical benefits payable related primarily to fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012.  Please refer to the schedule on page 12 of this news release that reconciles the Kentucky program medical benefits ratio (“MBR”) as determined in accordance with GAAP to an MBR recast to reflect the development of medical benefits payable in the period in which the services were provided.  During the past few months, the Company has continued to make progress toward its long-term goals for the Kentucky program and anticipates further gains in performance in the coming months.  The improvement is expected to result from the combined effect of medical expense management initiatives and a 3% increase in premium rates that was effective October 1.

As a result of these two issues, WellCare has decreased its guidance for 2012 full year adjusted net income per diluted share to between $4.90 and $5.05.

“Aside from our Georgia Medicaid and Kentucky Medicaid issues, our third quarter results were consistent with our expectations,” said Alec Cunningham, WellCare’s chief executive officer.  “As we plan for 2013, we will continue to execute on our health care quality, access, and service initiatives.  In addition, we have capitalized on several significant and promising growth opportunities during the past few months, and we see a number of similar opportunities available to us over the coming year.”

Highlights of Recent Accomplishments
·  
WellCare has entered into an agreement to acquire Easy Choice Health Plan, which as of October 2012 served an estimated 36,000 Medicare Advantage plan members in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties in Southern California.
·  
The Company recently entered into an agreement to acquire UnitedHealthcare's Medicaid business in South Carolina, which as of October 2012 served approximately 65,000 members in the South Carolina Healthy Connections Choices program.
·  
WellCare was selected by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Human Services to serve the Medicaid program in the Commonwealth's Region 3, including Louisville and 15 surrounding counties, beginning January 1, 2013.
·  
In Florida, WellCare was approved by the Department of Elder Affairs to expand its Long-Term Care Community Diversion Pilot Project service area by 17 counties, to a total of 19 counties.  In the Florida Medicaid program, WellCare recently expanded its service area by four counties to a total of 42 out of Florida’s 67 counties, the largest service area of the state’s Medicaid plans.  In addition, on October 1, 2012, WellCare launched its expanded service area for the Florida Healthy Kids program, increasing counties served from 18 to 65.
·  
Medicare Advantage segment membership of 167,000 as of September 30, 2012, was the highest coordinated care plan membership in WellCare’s history.
·  
WellCare’s Prescription Drug Plan (“PDP”) segment continued to perform better than anticipated, resulting in a 40% increase in PDP gross margin year-over-year.  In conjunction with the Medicare Annual Election Period, the Company launched a new enhanced PDP that offers members a relatively low monthly premium, no deductible, no co-payment on preferred generic drugs, and generic drug coverage in the coverage gap.

Company Operations
Adjusted net income per diluted share for the third quarter of 2012 decreased by $1.10 compared with 2011.  The year-over-year decrease resulted mainly from increases in the Medicaid and Medicare Advantage segments’ MBRs.  These factors were partially offset by higher premium revenue in the Medicaid and Medicare Advantage segments and decreases in the Company’s PDP segment MBR and adjusted administrative expense ratio.

Membership as of September 30, 2012, increased 6% to 2.6 million, compared with 2.4 million members as of September 30, 2011.  Premium revenue for the third quarter of 2012 increased 18% year–over-year to $1.8 billion.  Medical benefits expense for the third quarter of 2012 was $1.5 billion, an increase of 28% from the third quarter of 2011.  The Company MBR was 86.3% in the third quarter of 2012, compared with 79.8% in the third quarter of 2011.

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expense as determined under GAAP was $177 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared with $161 million for the same period in 2011.  Adjusted SG&A expense was $165 million in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of 8% from $153 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 initiatives.  The adjusted administrative expense ratio was 9.2% in the third quarter of 2012, compared with 10.0% for the same period in 2011.

Medicaid Segment Operations
Medicaid segment membership increased by 202,000, or 15%, year-over-year, to 1.5 million members as of September 30, 2012.  The increase resulted mainly from the 2011 launch of the Kentucky Medicaid program.  In addition, the Company experienced growth in Florida and several other states, offset in part by the end of the Company’s participation in the Missouri program on June 30, 2012.

Premium revenue was $1.1 billion for the third quarter of 2012, an increase of 22% year-over-year, mainly due to the Kentucky program.  Revenue and gross margin were reduced by the previously described reversal of premium in the Georgia Medicaid program.

The Medicaid segment MBR was 91.1% for the third quarter of 2012, an increase from 80.4% in the third quarter of 2011.  The MBR increase results primarily from challenges associated with the performance of the Kentucky Medicaid program.

Medicare Advantage Segment Operations
Medicare Advantage segment membership increased by 37,000 year-over-year, or 28%, to 167,000 members, which is the highest coordinated care plan membership in WellCare’s history.  Premium revenue grew 25%.  The Medicare Advantage segment MBR was 86.8% in the third quarter of 2012, an increase from 82.0% in the third quarter of 2011.

Prescription Drug Plan Segment Operations
PDP segment membership decreased 88,000 year-over-year, or 9%.  Premium revenue decreased 6%.  The PDP segment MBR was 64.7% in the third quarter of 2012, a decrease from 74.4% in the third quarter of 2011.  The decrease resulted in part from the positioning of the Company’s plans relative to member utilization and cost-sharing patterns and WellCare’s focus on generic medications.

Cash Flow and Financial Condition
Net cash used in operating activities as determined under GAAP was $134 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $319 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  As previously disclosed, WellCare has experienced temporary premium payment delays by the Georgia Medicaid program.  Although Georgia repaid a portion of its balance due during the third quarter, the delayed remaining payments had an adverse effect on WellCare’s operating cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Modified for the timing of receipts from, and payments to, WellCare’s government customers, net cash provided by operating activities was $20 million for the first nine months of 2012, compared with $177 million for the first nine months of 2011.

As of September 30, 2012, unregulated cash and investments were approximately $350 million, compared with $168 million as of June 30, 2012.  The increase resulted primarily from a reduction in premiums receivable from the Georgia Medicaid program and dividends received from the Company’s regulated entities, offset in part by capital contributions to certain regulated entities.

Days in claims payable were 40 days as of September 30, 2012, compared with 38 days as of June 30, 2012, and 57 days as of September 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 $4.90 and $5.05.  The previous guidance was for adjusted net income per diluted share of between approximately $5.25 and $5.45.  The reduction results principally from the isolated revenue matter associated with the Georgia Medicaid program and lower-than-targeted performance of the Kentucky Medicaid program.
·  
Premium revenue is expected to be between approximately $7.15 and 7.20 billion.  Previous guidance was for premium revenue to be approximately $7.1 billion.
·  
The adjusted administrative expense ratio is expected to be in the range of 8.8% to 8.9%.  The prior guidance was for the adjusted administrative expense ratio to be in the range of 8.7% to 8.9%.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Cash Used in or Provided by Operating Activities
to Net Cash 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.
