Quarter Highlights

  • As of June 30, 2022, the Company served approximately 5.1 million members, an increase of 422,000 members or 9% compared to June 30, 2021.
  • Premium revenue was approximately $7.8 billion for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 18% compared to the second quarter of 2021.
  • Second quarter 2022 GAAP earnings per diluted share were $4.25 and adjusted earnings per diluted share were $4.55. Excluding a true up to the 2021 risk adjustment payable, GAAP earnings per share were $4.69 and adjusted earnings per diluted share were $4.99.
  • The Company increased its full year 2022 premium revenue guidance to approximately $30 billion, above its previous guidance of approximately $29.25 billion.
  • The Company increased its full year 2022 adjusted earnings guidance to at least $17.60 per diluted share, above its previous guidance of at least $17.10 per diluted share. Guidance includes the Company’s Marketplace business achieving modest profitability when excluding the 2021 risk adjustment payable true-up.

“We are very pleased with our second quarter and year-to-date performance,” said Joseph Zubretsky, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We executed well, provided high quality care to our members, delivered solid operating earnings, and continued to deliver on our growth strategy.”

Premium Revenue

Premium revenue was approximately $7.8 billion for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 18% compared to the second quarter of 2021. The higher premium revenue reflects the impact of acquisitions and increased organic membership in the Medicaid and Medicare lines of business.

Net Income

GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $4.25 per diluted share, compared to $3.16 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $4.55 per diluted share, compared to $3.40 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2021. The net effect of COVID decreased the second quarter of 2022 GAAP and adjusted EPS by $0.68 per diluted share. A true up to the 2021 risk adjustment payable decreased net income by approximately $0.44 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2022.

Medical Care Ratio

  • The consolidated MCR for the second quarter of 2022 was 88.1%, compared to 88.4% for second quarter of 2021. The net effect of COVID added approximately 60 basis points to the consolidated MCR. The impact varied by segment.
  • The Medicaid MCR of 88.0% was at the low end of the Company’s long-term target range. The net effect of COVID added approximately 20 basis points in the quarter.
  • The Medicare MCR of 86.9% was below the Company’s long-term target range. The net effect of COVID added approximately 370 basis points in the quarter and was more than offset by favorable risk adjustment and strong medical cost management.
  • The Marketplace MCR of 91.2% includes a true up for the 2021 risk adjustment payable. Excluding this out of period item the MCR was 85.7%, reflecting higher core utilization and approximately 50 basis points from the net effect of COVID.

General and Administrative Expense Ratio

The G&A ratio for the second quarter of 2022 was 6.8%, compared to 7.1% for the second quarter of 2021. The adjusted G&A ratio was 6.8% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 6.9% for the second quarter of 2021.

Balance Sheet

Cash and investments at the parent company were $210 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to $348 million as of December 31, 2021.

Through June 30, 2022, the Company purchased approximately 658,000 shares for $200 million, at an average cost of $304.13 per share.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $731 million, which was lower compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the net impact of timing differences in government receivables and payables and partially offset by an increase in net earnings.

2022 Guidance

Premium revenue for full year 2022 is now expected to be approximately $30 billion, above the previous guidance of approximately $29.25 billion. The guidance increase of approximately $750 million includes the extension of the Public Health Emergency from July to October, second quarter 2022 outperformance and additional pass through revenue payments.

The Company increased its full year 2022 adjusted earnings guidance to at least $17.60 per diluted share, above the previous guidance of at least $17.10 per diluted share. Guidance includes the Company’s Marketplace business achieving modest profitability when excluding the 2021 risk adjustment payable true up.

CHANGE IN MEDICAL CLAIMS AND BENEFITS PAYABLE

(Dollars in millions)

The Company’s claims liabilities include additional reserves to account for moderately adverse conditions based on historical experience and other factors including, but not limited to, variations in claims payment patterns, changes in utilization and cost trends, known outbreaks of disease, and large claims. The Company’s reserving methodology is consistently applied across all periods presented. The amounts displayed for “Components of medical care costs related to: Prior year” represent the amounts by which the original estimates of claims and benefits payable at the beginning of the year were more than the actual liabilities based on information (principally the payment of claims) developed since those liabilities were first reported. The following table presents the components of the change in medical claims and benefits payable for the periods indicated:

MOLINA HEALTHCARE, INC.

RECONCILIATION OF UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(In millions, except per diluted share amounts)

The Company believes that certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures are useful supplemental measures to investors in comparing the Company’s performance to the performance of other public companies in the health care industry. The non-GAAP financial measures are also used internally to enable management to assess the Company’s performance consistently over time. These non-GAAP financial measures, presented below, should be considered as supplements to, and not as substitutes for or superior to, GAAP measures.

Adjustments represent additions and deductions to GAAP net income as indicated in the table below, which include the non-cash impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, and the impact of certain expenses and other items that management believes are not indicative of longer-term business trends and operations.

Adjusted G&A Ratio represents the GAAP G&A ratio, recognizing adjustments.
