The company also today raised its EPS guidance for the year ending December 31, 2011 (FY11) to a range of $7.50 to $7.60 versus its previous estimate of $6.70 to $6.90. This increase in FY11 EPS guidance primarily reflects lower projected benefit expense ratios in the company’s Retail and Employer Group Segments partially offset by higher projected Medicare sales and marketing reinvestments as well as expenses designed to enhance the company’s Star ratings positioning and clinical initiatives.

“This quarter’s results demonstrate our on-going commitment to operational excellence across all of our lines of business, progress with our 15 Percent Solution and the continuation of low utilization of medical services primarily in our commercial business," said Michael B. McCallister, Humana’s chairman of the board and chief executive officer. “We believe the reinvestment spending we intend to make in the back half of 2011 will further position us for success in 2012 and beyond."

Consolidated Highlights

Revenues – 2Q11 consolidated revenues were $9.28 billion, an increase of 8 percent from $8.59 billion in 2Q10, with total premiums and services revenue also up 8 percent compared to the prior year’s quarter. The year-over-year increase in premiums and services revenue primarily reflected an increase in the revenues in both the company’s Retail and Health and Well-Being Services segments, partially offset by a decline in revenues in the company’s Employer Group segment.

1H11 consolidated revenues rose 9 percent to $18.47 billion from $16.97 billion in 1H10 with total premiums and services revenue also up 9 percent compared to the prior year’s period, driven primarily by the same factors as the second quarter year-over-year increase.

Benefit expenses – The 2Q11 consolidated benefit ratio (benefit expenses as a percent of premiums) of 82.2 percent increased by 20 basis points from 82.0 percent for the prior year’s quarter due primarily to lower favorable prior-period medical claims development than the prior year. The consolidated benefit ratio for 1H11 of 83.0 percent increased by 20 basis points from the 1H10 consolidated benefit ratio of 82.8 percent.

Favorable prior-period medical claims reserve development impacted the consolidated benefit ratio year-over-year comparisons as follows:

 
Consolidated Benefit Ratio     2Q11   2Q10   1H11   1H10
GAAP     82.2 %   82.0 %   83.0 %   82.8 %

Favorable prior-period medical claims reserve development(b)

    0.6 %   1.4 %   0.6 %   0.8 %

Non-GAAP(c)

    82.8 %   83.4 %   83.6 %   83.6 %
 

The year-over-year improvement in the non-GAAP consolidated benefit ratio for the second quarter reflects the company’s dedication to continual operational improvement. This non-GAAP metric was flat for the first half of the year versus the prior year’s period as a result of a significant increase in the company’s stand-alone prescription drug plan (PDP) membership for 2011. The stand-alone PDP product design carries a higher benefit ratio in the first quarter than other quarters throughout the year.

Operating costs – The consolidated operating cost ratio (operating costs as a percent of total revenues less investment income) of 13.0 percent for 2Q11 compares to 12.9 percent in 2Q10 primarily reflecting a 3 percent increase in the portion of the company’s revenues derived from its Health and Well-Being Services Segment, which carries a higher operating cost ratio than the company’s other business segments.

The 1H11 consolidated operating cost ratio of 13.4 percent increased 60 basis points from that for 1H10 of 12.8 percent primarily due to the same factor impacting the second quarter year-over-year comparison.

The write-down of certain DAC during 2Q10 impacted the consolidated year-over-year operating cost ratio comparisons as follows:

 
Consolidated operating cost ratio     2Q11   2Q10   1H11   1H10
GAAP     13.0 %   12.9 %   13.4 %   12.8 %

Write-down of certain DAC(a)

    -     (1.8 %)   -     (0.9 %)

Non-GAAP(c)

    13.0 %   11.1 %   13.4 %   11.9 %
 

The non-GAAP consolidated operating cost ratio increased versus the prior year for both the second quarter and first half of the year due to the company’s December 2010 acquisition of Concentra, Inc. (Concentra).

Retail Segment Highlights

Pretax results:

  • Retail Segment pretax income of $503.1 million in 2Q11 compares to $325.9 million in 2Q10. This increase was primarily due to increased average membership. For 1H11, pretax earnings for the Retail Segment of $720.1 million increased by $129.3 million versus 1H10 pretax earnings for the segment of $590.7 million. Comparison of operating results for these periods was also affected by the items noted below:

Enrollment:

  • Individual Medicare Advantage membership was 1,602,500 at June 30, 2011, an increase of 139,600 members, or 10 percent from 1,462,900 at June 30, 2010 primarily due to a successful enrollment season associated with the 2011 plan year. Individual Medicare Advantage membership has increased 141,800 or 10 percent through 1H11 from 1,460,700 at December 31, 2010.
  • Membership in the company’s individual stand-alone Prescription Drug Plans (PDPs) was 2,408,700 at June 30, 2011, up 700,700 or 41 percent compared to 1,708,000 at June 30, 2010 and up 738,400 or 44 percent from 1,670,300 at December 31, 2010. These increases resulted from higher gross sales primarily during the 2011 enrollment season, particularly for the company’s low-price-point Humana-Walmart plan offering.
  • HumanaOne medical membership increased to 403,700 at June 30, 2011, an increase of 32,200, or 9 percent, from 371,500 at June 30, 2010 and an increase of 31,400 or 8 percent, from 372,300 at December 31, 2010.
  • Membership in individual specialty products(d) of 680,500 at June 30, 2011 increased 55 percent from 440,400 at June 30, 2010 and up 170,500 or 33 percent from 510,000 at December 31, 2010 driven primarily by increased sales in dental and vision offerings.

Premiums and services revenue:

  • 2Q11 premiums and services revenue for the Retail Segment were $5.40 billion, an increase of 12 percent from $4.82 billion in 2Q10. The increase was primarily the result of 9 percent higher average Medicare Advantage membership year over year.

Benefit expenses:

  • The 2Q11 benefit ratio for the Retail Segment was 81.4 percent, an improvement of 10 basis points from 81.5 percent in 2Q10. Favorable prior-period reserve development impacted the year-over-year comparison of the benefit ratio for this segment as follows:
 
Retail Segment Benefit Ratio     2Q11   2Q10
GAAP     81.4 %   81.5 %

Favorable prior-period medical claims reserve development(b)

    0.7 %   0.8 %

Non-GAAP(c)

    82.1 %   82.3 %
 

Operating costs:

  • The Retail Segment’s operating cost ratio of 9.1 percent in 2Q11 improved 240 basis points from 11.5 percent in 2Q10. The write-down of certain DAC during 2Q10 impacted the year-over-year comparison of the operating cost ratio for this segment as follows:
 
Retail Segment Operating Cost Ratio     2Q11   2Q10
GAAP     9.1 %   11.5 %

Write-down of certain DAC(a)

    -     (3.0 %)

Non-GAAP(c)

    9.1 %   8.5 %
 

On a non-GAAP basis, the Retail Segment’s operating cost ratio increased year over year, primarily reflecting a higher percentage of the segment’s membership in the Humana Walmart-Preferred Rx Plan which carries a higher operating cost ratio than other stand-alone PDP products.

Employer Group Segment Highlights

Pretax results:

  • Employer Group Segment pretax income of $108.4 million in 2Q11 compares to $107.8 million in 2Q10. For 1H11, pretax earnings for the Employer Group Segment of $247.2 million increased by $65.9 million versus 1H10 pretax earnings for the segment of $181.2 million. Favorable prior-period reserve development impacted the year-over-year comparisons of the pretax income for this segment as follows:

Enrollment:

  • Group Medicare Advantage membership was 309,700 at June 30, 2011, an increase of 11,500 members, or 4 percent, from 298,200 at June 30, 2010, and an increase of 8,400 or 3 percent, from 301,300 at December 31, 2010.
  • Group fully-insured commercial medical membership declined to 1,186,200 at June 30, 2011, a decrease of 109,200 or 8 percent, from 1,295,400 at June 30, 2010, and a decrease of 66,000 or 5 percent, from 1,252,200 at December 31, 2010. This decline primarily reflected the company’s continued dedication to pricing discipline in a highly competitive environment for large group business partially offset by small group business membership gains.
  • Group administrative services only, or ASO, commercial medical membership declined to 1,313,600 at June 30, 2011, a decrease of 269,000 or 17 percent from 1,582,600 at June 30, 2010, and a decrease of 140,000 or 10 percent, from 1,453,600 at December 31, 2010. This decline reflected the loss of a large ASO account in July 2010 and a continuation of discipline in pricing services for self-funded accounts amid a highly competitive environment.
  • Membership in Employer Group specialty products(d) of 6,669,600 at June 30, 2011 decreased 2 percent from 6,806,900 at June 30, 2010, and increased 152,100 or 2 percent, from 6,517,500 at December 31, 2010.

Premiums and services revenue:

  • 2Q11 premiums and services revenue for the Employer Group Segment were $2.30 billion, a decrease of 4 percent from $2.40 billion in 2Q10. The decrease was primarily the result of a 14 percent decline in average commercial group medical membership year-over-year.

Benefit expenses:

  • 2Q11 benefit ratio for the Employer Group Segment was 81.2 percent, unchanged from that for 2Q10. Favorable prior-period reserve development impacted the year-over-year comparison of the benefit ratio for this segment as follows:
 
Employer Group Segment Benefit Ratio     2Q11   2Q10
GAAP     81.2 %   81.2 %

Favorable prior-period medical claims reserve development(b)

    0.8 %   3.3 %

Non-GAAP(c)

    82.0 %   84.5 %
 

The 250 basis point year-over year improvement in the Employer Group Segment’s non-GAAP benefit ratio reflects a continuation of low utilization of medical services, particularly in the company’s commercial business, combined with a higher percentage of the segment’s membership in small group accounts which generally have a lower benefit ratio than larger group accounts.

Operating costs:

  • The Employer Group Segment’s operating cost ratio of 16.8 percent in 2Q11 improved from 17.2 percent in 2Q10 primarily reflecting administrative scale efficiencies associated with a 5 percent increase in average fully-insured Medicare Advantage group membership.

Health and Well-Being Services Segment Highlights

Pretax results:

  • Health and Well-Being Services Segment pretax income of $87.8 million in 2Q11 increased 73 percent compared to $50.9 million in 2Q10 reflecting growth in the company’s pharmacy solutions business as well as the addition of the Concentra business acquired in December 2010.
  • For 1H11, pretax earnings for the Health and Well-Being Services Segment of $184.2 million increased by $85.1 million versus 1H10 pretax earnings for the segment of $99.1 million, reflecting the same factors as those affecting the quarterly year-over-year comparisons.

Revenues:

  • Revenues of $2.73 billion in 2Q11 for the Health and Well-Being Services Segment increased 22 percent from $2.23 billion in 2Q10. This increase was primarily due to growth in the company’s pharmacy solutions business together with the December 2010 acquisition of the company’s Concentra business.

Operating costs:

  • The Health and Well-Being Services Segment’s operating cost ratio of 96.1 percent in 2Q11 improved 130 basis points from 97.4 percent in 2Q10 reflecting scale efficiencies associated with growth in the company’s pharmacy solutions business together with the addition of the company’s Concentra operations which carries a lower operating cost ratio than other lines of business in this segment.

Balance Sheet

  • At June 30, 2011, the company had cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities of $10.77 billion compared to $10.75 billion at March 31, 2011.
  • Parent company cash and investments of $990.4 million at June 30, 2011 increased $622.6 million from $367.8 million at March 31, 2011 primarily due to dividends to the parent company from the operating subsidiaries being partially offset by share repurchases during the second quarter.
  • Debt-to-total capitalization at June 30, 2011 was 18.0 percent, down 70 basis points compared to 18.7 percent at March 31, 2011 primarily driven by higher capitalization associated with second quarter earnings.

Cash Flows from Operations

  • Cash flows provided by operations for 2Q11 totaled $161.2 million compared to $325.3 million in 2Q10. Cash flows provided by operations for 1H11 totaled $956.7 million compared to $1.08 billion in 1H10. The decline in cash flows from operations for both periods reflected changes in working capital more than offsetting higher earnings year over year.

Share Repurchase Program and Cash Dividend

  • In April 2011, the company’s Board of Directors replaced its previous share repurchase authorization with a new authorization for share repurchases of up to $1 billion. During 2Q11, the company repurchased 2,549,200 of its outstanding shares at an average price per share of $78.51. As of June 30, 2011, approximately $800 million of the April 2011 share repurchase authorization was remaining, with an expiration date of June 30, 2013.
  • In April 2011, the company’s Board of Directors also initiated a quarterly cash dividend policy. An initial cash dividend payment of $41.5 million, or $0.25 per share, for stockholders of record as of June 30, 2011, was paid on July 28, 2011.

Footnotes

(a) During 2Q10, the company recognized an impairment of deferred acquisition cost (DAC) assets associated with its Individual Major Medical line of business of $147.5 million. The related DAC included amounts associated with commissions, underwriting and other policy issuance costs. Given then impending changes to this business associated with health insurance reform, a substantial portion of the DAC was determined to be not recoverable from future income.

(b) Actuarial standards require the use of assumptions based on moderately adverse experience, which generally results in favorable reserve development, or reserves that are considered redundant. When the Company recognizes a release of the redundancy, we disclose the amount that is not in the ordinary course of business.

(c) The Company has included certain financial measures that are not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in its summary of financial results within this earnings press release. The company believes that these non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to both management and its investors in analyzing the company's ongoing business and operating performance. Internally, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as indicators of business performance, as well as for operational planning and decision making purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(d) The company provides a full range of insured specialty products including dental, vision and other supplemental products. Members included in these products may not be unique to each product since members have the ability to enroll in multiple products. Other supplemental benefits include life, disability, and fixed benefit products including cancer and critical illness policies.

Cautionary Statement

This news release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in investor presentations, press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of one of Humana’s executive officers, the words or phrases like “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “likely will result,” “estimates,” “projects” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including, among other things, information set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the company’s SEC filings, a summary of which includes but is not limited to the following:

  • Health insurance reform legislation, including The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, could have a material adverse effect on Humana’s results of operations, including restricting revenue, enrollment and premium growth in certain products and market segments, increasing the company's medical and administrative costs by, among other things, requiring a minimum benefit ratio, lowering the company’s Medicare payment rates and increasing the company’s expenses associated with a non-deductible federal premium tax; financial position, including the company's ability to maintain the value of its goodwill; and cash flows. In addition, if the new non-deductible federal premium tax is imposed as enacted, and if Humana is unable to adjust its business model to address this new tax, there can be no assurance that the non-deductible federal premium tax would not have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
  • If Humana does not design and price its products properly and competitively, if the premiums Humana charges are insufficient to cover the cost of health care services delivered to its members, or if its estimates of benefit expenses are inadequate, Humana’s profitability could be materially adversely affected. Humana estimates the costs of its benefit expense payments, and designs and prices its products accordingly, using actuarial methods and assumptions based upon, among other relevant factors, claim payment patterns, medical cost inflation, and historical developments such as claim inventory levels and claim receipt patterns. These estimates, however, involve extensive judgment, and have considerable inherent variability that is extremely sensitive to payment patterns and medical cost trends.
  • If Humana fails to effectively implement its operational and strategic initiatives, including its Medicare initiatives, the company’s business may be materially adversely affected, which is of particular importance given the concentration of the company’s revenues in the Medicare business.
  • If Humana fails to properly maintain the integrity of its data, to strategically implement new information systems, or to protect Humana’s proprietary rights to its systems, the company’s business may be materially adversely affected.
  • Humana is involved in various legal actions and governmental and internal investigations, including without limitation, an ongoing internal investigation related to certain aspects of its Florida subsidiary operations, the outcome of any of which could result in substantial monetary damages, penalties, fines or other sanctions. Increased litigation or regulatory action and any related negative publicity could increase the company’s cost of doing business.
  • Humana’s business activities are subject to substantial government regulation and related audits for compliance, including, among others, existing audits regarding Medicare risk adjustment data. New laws or regulations, or changes in existing laws or regulations or their manner of application, including the methodology that may be used by the government in implementing results of risk adjustment audits, could increase the company’s cost of doing business and may adversely affect the company’s business, profitability and financial condition. In addition, as a government contractor, Humana is exposed to additional risks that may adversely affect the company’s business or the company’s willingness to participate in government health care programs.
  • On February 25, 2011, the Department of Defense TRICARE Management Activity, or TMA, awarded the TRICARE South Region contract to Humana. On March 7, 2011, the competing bidder filed a protest of the award with the Government Accountability Office. Also on March 7, 2011, as provided in the Federal Acquisition Regulations, TMA issued a stop work order to Humana in connection with the award. On June 14, 2011, the GAO upheld the award of the contract to Humana and TMA subsequently lifted the stop work order. On June 21, 2011, the competing bidder filed a complaint in the United States Court of Federal Claims objecting to the award of the contract to Humana. That case is currently pending before the Court. As a result of the award of the TRICARE South Region contract to the company, Humana no longer expects a goodwill impairment to occur during the second half of 2011. Ultimate disposition of the contract award is, however, subject to the resolution of the complaint filed by the unsuccessful bidder.
  • Any failure to manage administrative costs could hamper Humana’s profitability.
  • Any failure by Humana to manage acquisitions and other significant transactions successfully may have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
  • If Humana fails to develop and maintain satisfactory relationships with the providers of care to its members, the company’s business may be adversely affected.
  • Humana’s home-delivery pharmacy business is highly competitive and subjects it to regulations in addition to those the company faces with its core health benefits businesses.
  • Changes in the prescription drug industry pricing benchmarks may adversely affect Humana’s financial performance.
  • If Humana does not continue to earn and retain purchase discounts and volume rebates from pharmaceutical manufacturers at current levels, Humana’s gross margins may decline.
  • Humana’s ability to obtain funds from its subsidiaries is restricted by state insurance regulations.
  • Downgrades in Humana’s debt ratings, should they occur, may adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
  • Federal government contracts account for a substantial portion of Humana’s revenue and earnings. A delay by Congress in raising the federal government’s debt ceiling, should it occur, could lead to a reduction, suspension or cancellation of federal government spending that could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on Humana’s business and profitability.
  • Changes in economic conditions could adversely affect Humana’s business and results of operations.
  • The securities and credit markets may experience volatility and disruption, which may adversely affect Humana’s business.
  • Given the current economic climate, Humana’s stock and the stock of other companies in the insurance industry may be increasingly subject to stock price and trading volume volatility.

In making forward-looking statements, Humana is not undertaking to address or update them in future filings or communications regarding its business or results. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed herein may or may not occur. There also may be other risks that the company is unable to predict at this time. Any of these risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Humana advises investors to read the following documents as filed by the company with the SEC for further discussion both of the risks it faces and its historical performance:

  • Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010;
  • Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011;
  • Form 8-Ks filed during 2011.

2Q11 Earnings Release
 
(A) The Medicaid and other category includes the company’s Medicaid business as well as the closed block of long-term care.
(B) The ASO and other category is comprised of primarily ASO fees, with other ancillary services fees that each constitute one percent or less of the total.
(C) The operating cost ratio is defined as operating costs as a percent of total revenues excluding investment income.
(D) Other supplemental benefits include life, disability, and fixed benefit products including cancer and critical illness policies.
(E) Computed based on average membership for the period (i.e., monthly ending membership during the period divided by the number of months in the period).
(F) Military services revenues are generally not contracted on a per-member basis.
(G) Includes premiums associated with Medicaid and the closed block of long-term care as well as services revenue.
(H) Duration is the time-weighted average of the present value of the bond portfolio cash flows.
(I) IBNR represents an estimate of benefit expenses payable for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) at the balance sheet date. The level of IBNR is primarily
impacted by membership levels, benefit claim trends and the receipt cycle time, which represents the length of time between when a claim is initially incurred
and when the claim form is received (i.e. a shorter time span results in lower reserves for claims IBNR). Other benefits payable includes amounts payable to
providers under capitation arrangements.
(J) Unprocessed claim inventories represent the estimated valuation of claims received but not yet fully processed.
(K) Processed claim inventories represent the estimated valuation of processed claims that are in the post-claim-adjudication process, which consists of
administrative functions such as audit and check batching and handling.
(L) The balance due to the company's pharmacy benefit administrator fluctuates as a result of the number of business days in the last payment cycle of the month.

Payment cycles are every 8 days (8th, 16th, and 24th of month) and the last day of the month.

(M) Military services benefits payable primarily consist of IBNR and to a lesser extent risk share payables to the Department of Defense and liabilities to
subcontractors.
(N) The table excludes activity associated with military services benefits payable, because the federal government bears a substantial portion of the risk
associated with financing the cost of health benefits. More specifically, the risk-sharing provisions of the military services contracts with the federal
government and with subcontractors effectively limit profits and losses when actual claim experience varies from the targeted claim amount negotiated annually.
As a result of these contract provisions, the impact of changes in estimates for prior year military services benefits payable are substantially offset by the
associated changes in estimates of revenue from health care services reimbursements. As such, any impact on the company's results of operations is reduced
substantially, whether positive or negative.
(O) Amounts incurred related to prior years vary from previously estimated liabilities as the claims ultimately are settled. Negative amounts reported for
incurred related to prior years result from claims being ultimately settled for amounts less than originally estimated (favorable development). There were no
changes in the approach used to determine the company's estimate of claim reserves during the quarter.
(P) Future policy benefit expense has a related liability classified as a long-term liability on the balance sheet.
(Q) Benefits reserves statistics represents fully-insured medical claims data and excludes military services claims data and specialty benefits.
(R) The receipt cycle time measures the average length of time between when a claim was initially incurred and when the claim form was received. Receipt cycle
time data for the company's largest claim processing platforms represent approximately 92% of the company's fully-insured medical claims volume. Pharmacy and
specialty claims, including dental, vision and other supplemental benefits, are excluded from this measurement.
(S) A common metric for monitoring benefits payable levels relative to the benefit expense is days in claims payable, or DCP, which represents the benefits
payable at the end of the period divided by average benefit expenses per day in the quarterly period. Since the company has some providers under capitation
payment arrangements (which do not require a benefits payable IBNR reserve), the company has also summarized this metric excluding capitation expense. In
addition, this calculation excludes the impact of the company's military services and stand-alone PDP business.
(T) DCP fluctuates due to a number of issues, the more significant of which are detailed in this rollforward. Growth in certain product lines can also impact DCP
for the quarter since a provision for claims would not have been recorded for members that had not yet enrolled earlier in the quarter, yet those members would
have a provision and corresponding reserve recorded upon enrollment later in the quarter. This analysis excludes the impact of military services and Medicare
stand-alone PDPs upon DCP.
