Statement of Operations: Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
- For the second quarter of 2011, Premium and Service Revenues
increased 21.6% to $1,278.0 million
from $1,050.6 million in the second
quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily driven by the
addition of our Mississippi
contract, membership growth and premium rate increases during the
second half of 2010. During the second quarter of 2011,
premium revenue from the Mississippi contract of $100.4 million was recognized for the period
January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011, of which $52.8 million related to the first quarter of
2011.
- Consolidated HBR of 83.0% for the second quarter of 2011
represents a decrease of 0.8% from the comparable period in 2010.
The year over year improvement in HBR is due to lower
utilization levels in 2011. Consolidated HBR was consistent
with the first quarter of 2011 at 83.0%.
- Consolidated G&A expense ratio for the first and second
quarters in 2011 has been impacted by the timing of the recognition
of our Mississippi contract.
For the three months ended June 30,
2011, our G&A expense ratio was 13.0%, compared to 12.7%
in the prior year and 13.8% in the first quarter of 2011. For
the six months ended June 30, 2011,
our G&A expense ratio was 13.4%, compared to 13.0% in the prior
year. The overall increase is due to additional business
expansion costs compared to the prior year.
- Earnings from operations increased to $55.3 million in 2011 from $41.7 million in 2010, or 32.6% year over year.
Net earnings from continuing operations were $28.4 million, compared to $23.0 million in the second quarter of 2010.
- Earnings per diluted share increased to $0.54 in the second quarter of 2011, which
included a $(0.10) per diluted share
charge for debt extinguishment costs as well as the benefit of
$0.07 per diluted share from the
recognition of Q1 2011 Mississippi earnings, compared to
$0.45 per diluted share in the second
quarter of 2010.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At June 30, 2011, the Company had
cash and investments of $1,098.4
million, including $1,061.9
million held by its regulated entities and $36.5 million held by its unregulated entities.
Medical claims liabilities totaled $482.9 million, representing 44.4 days in claims
payable, consistent with March 31,
2011. Total debt was $339.6
million and debt to capitalization was 23.0% at June 30, 2011 excluding the $79.0 million non-recourse mortgage note.
Cash flows from operations for the six months ended
June 30, 2011 were $53.2 million, or 1.0 times net earnings.

payable from the immediately preceding quarter-end is presented

Centene's claims reserving
process utilizes a consistent actuarial methodology to estimate
Centene's ultimate liability. Any reduction in the "Incurred
related to: Prior period" amount may be offset as Centene
actuarially determines "Incurred related to: Current period."
As such, only in the absence of a consistent reserving
methodology would favorable development of prior period claims
liability estimates reduce medical costs. Centene believes it
has consistently applied its claims reserving methodology in each
of the periods presented.
The amount of the "Incurred
related to: Prior period" above includes the effects of reserving
under moderately adverse conditions, new markets where we use a
conservative approach in setting reserves during the initial
periods of operations, increased receipts from other third party
payors related to coordination of benefits and lower medical
utilization and cost trends for dates of service prior to June 30,
2010.
