SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico,
May 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Triple-S Management Corporation (NYSE:GTS), a leading
managed care company in Puerto
Rico, today provided an update on its operations related to
COVID-19 and reported its first quarter 2020 results.
"Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic across the world in
March, our team has been fully engaged to support our members,
providers and employees," said Roberto
Garcia-Rodriguez, President and Chief Executive
Officer. "Our community and front-line workers are our
backbone, and their resiliency in these challenging times gives us
confidence as the economy reopens and we learn to live with
COVID-19 in the weeks and months ahead."
"Our team has worked tirelessly to ensure that members can
continue accessing quality health care services during the
pandemic," added Mr. Garcia-Rodriguez. "We are proud of their
dedication and commitment, and we will continue to fully support
the communities we serve throughout the pandemic and beyond."
COVID-19 Operational Update
The Company took quick action at the onset of the pandemic,
activating its business continuity plans. The large majority
of Triple-S employees and management seamlessly transitioned to
working from home, while essential employees are onsite but
adhering closely to Centers for Disease Control and local
guidelines.
Employees
The well-being of Triple-S employees is an essential priority.
Recognized as one of Puerto Rico's
Best Employers, the Company rapidly implemented remote work
arrangements for over 85% of its workforce throughout the lockdown,
which was declared in mid-March. Though not all essential job
duties can be performed from home, the Company has continued to
meet its payroll responsibility toward its employees. Triple-S has
maximized technology for companywide communications, including live
employee meetings, as well as virtual workshops on crisis
leadership and coping strategies. Its human resources team has
reached out to employees through one-on-one calls and a survey to
identify and address their needs for subsequent phases and their
eventual return to work.
Member Support and Community
The Company is supporting its community and members during the
pandemic to ensure their safety and care. At the onset of the
crisis, Triple-S waived prior authorizations and copayments for
diagnostic tests and covered services that are medically necessary
for members diagnosed with COVID-19. It also increased access to
prescription medications by waiving early medication refill limits
on 30-day prescriptions. Other initiatives, in addition to those
required by local and federal regulators, include:
- Physicians, psychologists and other providers within its
network can now use voice and video calls to replace office visits
where appropriate, reducing exposure to the virus. Lab test orders
can be sent via e-mail and drug prescriptions via
e-prescribing.
- The Company has expanded access to its 24/7 nurse triage and
advice service, TeleConsulta, to assist people who may not require
emergency care or can self-care at home.
- The Company has also expanded the availability of its
telehealth platform, TeleConsulta MD, which allows members to make
virtual medical consultations with primary care physicians via
smartphone, tablet or computer.
- The Company has recently implemented a prescription drug home
delivery service.
- Triple-S Foundation committed an initial $250,000 donation to various organizations
addressing food insecurity, including funds to bolster small
farmers, provide food for the homeless, the general population
through Puerto Rico's Food Bank,
and an NGO serving the elderly in rural communities.
Strong Balance Sheet / Liquidity
- As of March 31, 2020, the Company
has cash and cash equivalents of $104.6
million, including $9.0
million at the parent company level. Triple-S's investment
portfolio stood at $1.7 billion as of
March 31, of which 76% where
investment-grade fixed income securities. The Company also believes
it would be able to access additional debt, if necessary, to
further reinforce its liquidity. In sum, the Company believes it is
well capitalized to support the fundamental operations of its
business throughout the pandemic and beyond.
First Quarter 2020 Consolidated and Other Highlights
- Following a $45 million net of
tax impact of net unrealized losses on equity investments after the
significant decrease in equity markets this quarter, the Company
reported a net loss of $26.1 million,
or $1.12 per share, versus net income
of $34.8 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, in the prior-year
period;
- Adjusted net income of $17.7
million, or $0.75 per diluted
share, versus adjusted net income of $17.7
million, or $0.77 per diluted
share, in the prior-year period;
- Operating revenues of $896.4
million, a 13.8% increase from the prior-year period,
primarily reflecting higher Managed Care net premiums earned;
- Consolidated loss ratio of 81.6%, a 50 basis point increase
versus the first quarter of 2019;
- Medical loss ratio ("MLR") increased 10 basis points to
83.7%;
- Consolidated operating income was $19.7
million, compared to consolidated operating income of
$31.7 million in the prior-year
period;
- Under the Company's share repurchase program, during the first
quarter of 2020, the Company repurchased 577,447 shares at an
aggregate cost of approximately $9.0
million. As of May 6, 2020,
$2.5 million remained available under
the program.
Selected Consolidated Quarterly Details
- Consolidated net premiums earned were $875.9 million, up 14.0% from the prior-year
period, primarily reflecting an increase in membership and higher
average premium rates within the Managed Care segment.
- Consolidated claims incurred were $714.5
million, up 14.7% year-over-year. Consolidated loss ratio of
81.6% rose 50 basis points from the prior-year period, mostly
reflecting $5 million of estimated
earthquake losses recorded by the Property and Casualty segment and
increased benefits in the Company's 2020 Medicare product offering,
partially offset by lower Managed Care utilization of services
during the last two weeks of the quarter as the result of the
government-enforced lockdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Consolidated operating expenses of $162.2 million increased by $29.5 million, or 22.2%, from the prior-year
period, primarily resulting from reinstatement of the HIP fee in
2020. The consolidated operating expense ratio was 18.5%, a 130
basis point increase from the prior-year quarter.
Selected Managed Care Segment Quarterly Details
- Managed Care premiums earned were $809.8
million, up 14.8% year-over-year.
-
- Medicare premiums earned of $387.8
million increased 16.6% from the prior-year period, largely
due to an increase of approximately 24,000 member months, primarily
reflecting a more competitive product offering, higher average
premium rates, and an increase in the average membership risk
score.
- Commercial premiums earned of $201.1
million increased 1.3% from the prior-year period, mainly
reflecting an increase in fully insured enrollment during the
quarter of approximately 25,000 member months.
- Medicaid premiums earned of $220.9
million increased 26.7% from the prior-year period,
primarily reflecting higher membership of approximately 38,000
member months during the quarter, higher average premium rates, and
the reinstatement of the HIP Fee pass-through in 2020.
- Reported MLR of 83.7% was 10 basis points higher than the
prior-year period, reflecting increased benefits in the Company's
2020 Medicare product offering, partially offset by lower Managed
Care utilization of services during the last two weeks of the
quarter as the result of the government-enforced lockdown related
to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Update on P&C Segment Reserves related to Hurricane
María
As of March 31, 2020:
- Triple-S Propiedad, Inc. (TSP), the Company's P&C
subsidiary, has paid a cumulative amount of $745 million in claims and expenses related to
Hurricane María. Estimated gross losses remain unchanged at
$967 million.
- TSP received 9 new claims, reopened 26 claims, and paid 28
claims during the first quarter of 2020. 652 claims remain
open.
- The Company has been served with process in 361 of the 652
claims that remain open.
- As is the case for all claim liabilities, the gross losses
related to Hurricane Maria are based on the Company's best estimate
of the ultimate expected cost of claims with the information
currently on hand and are subject to change.
2020 Outlook
Due to COVID-19's potential impact on the macroeconomic
environment and the Company's operations, the Company has decided
to suspend its 2020 premium and cost guidance until it has more
visibility; however, it is maintaining its full year 2020 adjusted
net income per diluted share guidance of between $2.60 and $2.80. Adjusted net income per diluted
share does not account for any potential share repurchase activity
during 2020. The Company is assuming a weighted average
diluted share count for full year 2020 of 23.3 million shares.

Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains forward-looking statements, as defined in
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements include information about possible or
assumed future sales, results of operations, developments,
regulatory approvals or other circumstances. Sentences that include
"believe", "expect", "plan", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate",
"project", "may", "will", "shall", "should" and similar
expressions, whether in the positive or negative, are intended to
identify forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements in this news release reflect
management's current views about future events and are based on
assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. Consequently,
actual results may differ materially from those expressed here as a
result of various factors, including all the risks discussed and
identified in public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC).
In addition, the Company operates in a highly competitive,
constantly changing environment, influenced by very large
organizations that have resulted from business combinations,
aggressive marketing and pricing practices of competitors, and
regulatory oversight. The following factors, if markedly different
from the Company's planning assumptions (either individually or in
combination), could cause Triple-S Management's results to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements
shared here:
- Trends in health care costs and utilization rates
- Ability to secure sufficient premium rate increases
- Competitor pricing below market trends of increasing costs
- Re-estimates of policy and contract liabilities
- Changes in government laws and regulations of managed care,
life insurance or property and casualty insurance
- Significant acquisitions or divestitures by major
competitors
- Introduction and use of new prescription drugs and
technologies
- A downgrade in the Company's financial strength ratings
- Litigation or legislation targeted at managed care, life
insurance or property and casualty insurance companies
- Ability to contract with providers consistent with past
practice
- Ability to successfully implement the Company's disease
management, utilization management and Star ratings programs
- Ability to maintain Federal Employees, Medicare and Medicaid
contracts
- Volatility in the securities markets and investment losses and
defaults
- General economic downturns, major disasters, and epidemics
This list is not exhaustive. Management believes the
forward-looking statements in this release are reasonable. However,
there is no assurance that the actions, events or results
anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if any
of them do, what impact they will have on the Company's results of
operations or financial condition. In view of these uncertainties,
investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements, which are based on current expectations. In addition,
forward-looking statements are based on information available the
day they are made, and (other than as required by applicable law,
including the securities laws of the
United States) the Company does not intend to update or
revise any of them in light of new information or future
events.
Readers are advised to carefully review and consider the various
disclosures in the Company's SEC reports.

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial metric and should
not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management
believes that the use of this adjusted net income and adjusted net
income per share provides investors and management useful
information about the earnings impact of realized and unrealized
investment gains or losses, as well as other non-recurring items
impacting the Company's results of operations. This non-GAAP
metric does not consider all the items associated with the
Company's operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.
As a result, one should not consider these measures in
isolation.
