  • The Company is maintaining its full year 2020 earnings guidance.
  • On March 18, 2020, the Company announced the offering of several services and resources in response to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) including the digital cognitive behavioral therapy (DCBT) app, RESTORE®, at no cost for individuals experiencing sleep difficulty and insomnia.
  • On March 20, 2020, the Company expanded telehealth services and implemented additional initiatives to help support clients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • On April 10, 2020, the Company opened a free national 24-hour crisis line for all first responders and healthcare workers who are serving on the front lines battling the coronavirus pandemic.
  • On April 30, 2020, the Company and Molina Healthcare, Inc. entered into definitive agreements to divest Magellan Complete Care.

“Magellan Health has a vital, ongoing and shared responsibility in protecting the mental and physical health of millions of people,” said Kenneth Fasola, chief executive officer of Magellan Health. “In fact, the coronavirus pandemic has made abundantly clear what we already knew – the behavioral health of individuals remains a critical societal need, presenting challenges for health plans, employers and government payors – a challenge and opportunity Magellan is well positioned to address.”

Divestiture of Magellan Complete Care

On April 30, 2020, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with Molina Healthcare, Inc. to sell its Magellan Complete Care (MCC) business to Molina for a cash purchase price of $850 million, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. MCC, with revenue of over $2.7 billion in 2019, manages full-service Medicaid and Medicare health plans including Magellan Complete Care in Arizona, Florida and Virginia; Senior Whole Health in Massachusetts and New York; and TMG by Magellan in Wisconsin. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2021.

“The sale of Magellan Complete Care tightens our focus, strengthens our balance sheet and creates a new, multi-faceted strategic relationship with Molina Healthcare, a Fortune 500 company with a strong reputation for serving states and their beneficiaries’ health care needs,” said Fasola. “This divestiture will provide Magellan with additional financial flexibility to invest in our remaining businesses and supports our vision to become the leading independent payor services company offering behavioral health, specialty health, and pharmacy management solutions for high cost, chronic populations on a carve-out or integrated basis.”

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, was $1.8 billion, which represents an increase of three percent over the same period in 2019. This increase was mainly driven by growth within Magellan Complete Care.

Segment Profit

Segment profit was $74.8 million for the first quarter, compared to $45.6 million in the prior year quarter, including approximately $12 million of favorable out-of-period items, primarily related to MCC reserve development.

  • Healthcare segment profit was $62.1 million, which represents an increase of $17.1 million versus the first quarter of 2019. This increase is driven by favorable prior period development and utilization results, particularly in MCC of Virginia and New York, as well as reinstatement of the Health Insurer Fee.
  • Pharmacy Management segment profit was $20.9 million, which was an increase of $12.6 million from the first quarter of 2019. This year-over-year increase was primarily driven by improved gross margins from our PBM business as well strong performance within our specialty drug management portfolio.
  • Corporate costs inclusive of eliminations, but excluding stock compensation expense, totaled $8.2 million, compared to $7.7 million in the prior year’s quarter.

Cash Flow & Balance Sheet

Cash flow from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, was $31.7 million, as compared to $35.4 million in the first quarter of 2019.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s unrestricted cash and investments totaled $281.2 million, an increase of $85.8 million from the balance at December 31, 2019. Approximately $123 million of the unrestricted cash and investments at March 31, 2020 is related to excess capital and undistributed earnings held at regulated entities, including $94 million at MCC entities. Thus, the Company had over $150 million in unrestricted cash at the parent as of March 31, 2020.

“Magellan posted strong first quarter results and while COVID-19 presents uncertainties, our business fundamentals are on track,” said Jonathan N. Rubin, chief financial officer, Magellan Health. “We’ve taken bold steps to refine our strategy, lock in value, and provide financial flexibility to the company moving forward.”

Basis of Presentation

In addition to results determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Magellan provides certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful in assessing the Company’s performance. Following is a description of these important non-GAAP measures.

Segment profit is equal to net revenue less the sum of cost of care, cost of goods sold, direct service costs and other operating expenses, and includes income from unconsolidated subsidiaries, but excludes segment profit or loss from non-controlling interests held by other parties, stock compensation expense, special charges or benefits, as well as changes in the fair value of contingent consideration recorded in relation to acquisitions.

Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share reflect certain adjustments made for acquisitions completed after January 1, 2013, to exclude non‑cash stock compensation expense resulting from restricted stock purchases by sellers, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, amortization of identified acquisition intangibles, as well as impairment of identified acquisition intangibles.

Included in the tables issued with this press release are the reconciliations from GAAP measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures.
