WELLCARE REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END 2013 RESULTS

TAMPA, Fla. (Feb. 12, 2014) – WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (NYSE: WCG) today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013. As determined under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), net income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $42.9 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, compared with $48.8 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2012. Adjusted (non-GAAP) net income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $48.2 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, compared with $57.6 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2012.
 
As determined under GAAP, the Company reported net income for the year 2013 of $175.3 million, or $3.98 per diluted share, compared with $184.7 million, or $4.22 per diluted share, for 2012. Adjusted net income for 2013 was $203.7 million, or $4.63 per diluted share, compared with $215.6 million, or $4.92 per diluted share, for 2012.
 
“In 2013, we delivered strong growth and further diversified our portfolio of government programs and markets,” said Dave Gallitano, chairman of the board and CEO. “While 2014 industry conditions are challenging, we are confident that we are well-positioned to capitalize on future prudent, profitable growth opportunities and advance our standing as a leader in government health care coverage.”

Highlights of Recent Accomplishments

·  
For the year, premium revenue grew to over $9.4 billion, an increase of 29% compared with 2012, driven by a 59% percent increase in Medicare Advantage segment premium revenue and a 27% increase in Medicaid segment premium revenue.

·  
WellCare closed its previously announced acquisition of Windsor Health Group effective January 1, 2014, adding Medicare Advantage plans in 192 counties in four southeastern states. In addition, Windsor strengthens WellCare’s Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) segment with new products and membership in 11 of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regions. The Company also entered the Medicare Supplement insurance market as a result of the acquisition.

·  
Medicare Advantage membership increased approximately 18% as of January 2014 compared with December 2013 as a result of the Windsor acquisition and sales activity during the Medicare Open Enrollment period. For 2014, WellCare offers Medicare Advantage HMO plans in 402 counties across 18 states.

·  
PDP segment membership reached over 1.2 million individuals in January 2014, up from 797,000 in December 2013 due to strong sales activity during the Medicare Open Enrollment period, as well as members acquired through the Windsor acquisition. For 2014, WellCare’s PDP bids were below the benchmarks in 30 of the 33 CMS regions for which the Company submitted bids.

·  
In January 2014, WellCare enrolled its first members in the New Jersey Medicaid program. New Jersey is WellCare’s ninth Medicaid state. The Company continues to work toward the approval of its acquisition of membership and certain other assets of Healthfirst Health Plan of New Jersey, Inc. (Healthfirst NJ), which is anticipated to occur during the second quarter of 2014.

·  
In November 2013, WellCare completed an offering of senior unsecured notes, issuing $600 million in notes due November 2020 at a yield of 5.75%. The Company also entered into a new $300 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, replacing and terminating the previous senior secured credit facility. The new, long-term capital provides WellCare with additional flexibility to pursue growth opportunities.

·  
Throughout 2013, WellCare maintained a disciplined approach to ensuring a competitive cost structure. As a result, the Company reduced its adjusted administrative expense ratio by approximately 20 basis points compared with 2012, despite the sales and marketing expense associated with WellCare’s significant Medicare Advantage membership growth.

Company Operations for the Fourth Quarter of 2013

Adjusted net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2013 decreased $0.23 compared with the same period in 2012, primarily due to increases in the PDP and Medicare Advantage segments’ medical benefits ratios (MBRs), higher interest expense, and a higher effective income tax rate. These factors were offset partially by increases in the Medicaid and Medicare Advantage segments’ premium revenue and decreases in the adjusted administrative expense ratio and Medicaid segment MBR.
 
Membership as of December 31, 2013, increased 7% to 2.8 million compared with the same period in 2012. Premium revenue for the fourth quarter of 2013 increased 23% year over year to $2.4 billion. Medical benefits expense for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $2.1 billion, an increase of 25% from the fourth quarter of 2012.
 
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense as determined under GAAP was $219 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with $193 million for the same period in 2012. Adjusted (non-GAAP) SG&A expense was $210 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of 17% from $179 million for the same period last year. The increase was driven primarily by increased membership, including membership associated with acquisitions. The adjusted administrative expense ratio was 8.7% in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with 9.1% for the same period in 2012. The decrease in the ratio resulted from improved operating leverage and productivity gains, offset in part by investments in growth and service initiatives.

Medicaid Segment Operations

Medicaid segment membership increased by 172,000, or 11% year over year, to 1.8 million members as of December 31, 2013. The increase resulted mainly from growth in the Kentucky and Florida programs and the acquisitions in Missouri and South Carolina in early 2013. These gains were partially offset by the Company’s departure from the Ohio Medicaid program in June 2013. Premium revenue was $1.5 billion for the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of 24% year over year, and was driven by changes in the demographic and geographic mix of membership as well as an increase in membership. The Medicaid segment MBR of 88.4% for the fourth quarter of 2013 was consistent with the Company’s expectation. The MBR decreased 30 basis points compared with 88.7% in the fourth quarter of 2012 mainly as a result of improvement in the Kentucky program performance.
 
Medicare Advantage Segment Operations

Medicare Advantage segment membership as of December 31, 2013, increased by 77,000 year over year, or 36%, to 290,000 members. Premium revenue for the quarter grew 37% year over year to $785 million. The growth resulted primarily from the Company’s California health plan acquisition as well as organic sales activity in New York, Florida, Georgia, and Texas. The Medicare Advantage segment MBR was 88.0% for the fourth quarter of 2013, which was consistent with the Company’s expectation. The MBR increased 110 basis points from 86.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to the performance of the Company’s California plan, partially offset by the improved performance of plans in other markets.

Prescription Drug Plan Segment Operations

PDP segment membership as of December 31, 2013, decreased 72,000 year over year, or 8%, to 797,000 members. The decrease primarily was due to a reduction in membership assigned to WellCare’s plans by CMS, offset in part by growth in the Company’s enhanced PDP product. Premium revenue for the quarter decreased 19% to $173 million as a result of the membership decline and the outcome of the 2013 bids. In line with the Company’s expectation, the PDP segment MBR was 74.6% in the fourth quarter of 2013. The MBR increased from 66.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012, principally as a result of the performance of the Company’s enhanced product.

Cash Flow and Financial Condition

Net cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP was $178.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $30.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
On a non-GAAP basis, modified for the timing of receipts from, and payments to, WellCare’s government customers, net cash provided by operating activities was $296.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $145.1 million for the same period in 2012.
 
As of December 31, 2013, unregulated cash and investments were approximately $495 million, compared with $392 million as of September 30, 2013. The increase resulted primarily from the $588 million in net proceeds received from the November 2013 senior note issuance and from dividends received from the Company’s regulated subsidiaries, partially offset by the payoff of the Company’s previous $337 million term loan as well as the $134 million advance of the purchase price for Windsor Health Group.
 
Days in claims payable were 42 days as of December 31, 2013, compared with 41 days as of September 30, 2013, and 40 days as of December 31, 2012.

Financial Outlook

WellCare currently anticipates that for the year ending December 31, 2014, adjusted net income per diluted share will be between approximately $3.75 and $4.05. Following are highlights of certain important 2014 developments that are impacting the Company’s guidance:

   
Estimated Impact to Adjusted
Net Income per Diluted Share
 
Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurer fee (ACA fee) expense, net of state Medicaid program reimbursement
  $ 1.17  
to
  $ 1.26

    0.35  
to

    0.32  
to
    0.34  
 
WellCare also anticipates that capital expenditures will increase by as much as 50% in 2014 compared with 2013 primarily as a result of additional investments to strengthen the Company’s infrastructure and growth initiatives.

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

The Company reports cash used in or provided by operating activities on a non-GAAP basis modified to exclude the changes in premium receivables, provision for doubtful receivables, unearned premiums, and other net 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.
