Consolidated Operations Results
GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $37.1 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $17.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015. GAAP net income margin for the first quarter of 2016 was 1.0 percent compared with 0.5 percent for the first quarter of 2015.
Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $47.0 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income of $23.5 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015. The year-over-year increase in adjusted net income is the result of operating improvement in all three of the company's business segments. Adjusted net income margin for the first quarter of 2016 was 1.4 percent compared with 0.7 percent for the first quarter of 2015.
GAAP total premium revenue for the first quarters of 2016 and 2015 was $3.5 billion, respectively.
Adjusted premium revenue of approximately $3.5 billion in the first quarter of 2016 increased slightly from approximately $3.4 billion in the first quarter of 2015.
GAAP SG&A expense was $268.9 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared with $256.9 million for the same period in 2015. Adjusted SG&A expense was $252.6 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared with $248.8 million in the first quarter of 2015.
The adjusted SG&A expense ratio in the first quarters of 2016 and 2015 was 7.3 percent, respectively.
Medicaid Health Plans Segment Results
Membership in the company's Medicaid Health Plans segment increased by 28,000, or 1.2 percent, from March 31, 2015 to approximately 2.4 million members as of March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily the result of membership growth in Missouri, Florida and Illinois.
GAAP Medicaid Health Plans premium revenue of $2.3 billion for the first quarter of 2016 increased slightly from $2.2 billion for the first quarter of 2015.
Adjusted Medicaid Health Plans premium revenue was $2.2 billion for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of 4.6 percent year over year.
The adjusted Medicaid Health Plans MBR was 89.9 percent for the first quarter of 2016 and down slightly from 90.1 percent in the first quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease was primarily the result of the company's improved pharmacy cost structure under its new pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) arrangement and operational improvements.
Medicare Health Plans Segment Results
Medicare Health Plans segment membership as of March 31, 2016, was 326,000, a decrease of 56,000 members from March 31, 2015. The decline in membership was primarily the result of the sale of the company's Medicare Supplement business, Sterling Life Insurance Company ("Sterling"), on July 1, 2015, which accounted for approximately 40,000 members of the year-over-year decline, as well as the company's 2016 bid positioning.
Medicare Health Plans premium revenue in the first quarter of 2016 decreased 0.9 percent year over year to $974.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to the divestiture of Sterling and was partially offset by an increase in Medicare Advantage premiums as a result of the company's 2016 bid positioning.
The Medicare Health Plans MBR in the first quarter of 2016 was 84.6 percent compared with 87.1 percent in the first quarter of 2015. The 250 basis point decrease in the Medicare MBR was primarily the result of the company's 2016 bid strategy and continued operational execution.
Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (PDP) Segment Results
Membership in the company's Medicare PDP segment decreased 64,000, or 5.9 percent year over year, to approximately 1.0 million members as of March 31, 2016. Membership was approximately flat compared with December 31, 2015.
Medicare PDP premium revenue was $250.2 million for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of 10.5 percent year over year, and was mainly due to the year-over-year change in membership as a result of the company's 2016 bid strategy.
The Medicare PDP segment MBR in the first quarter of 2016 was 94.3 percent, an improvement from 99.5 percent in the first quarter of 2015. The improvement was primarily driven by the company's improved pharmacy cost structure, including rebate management.
Operating Cash Flow and Financial Condition
Net cash used by operating activities was $112.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with net cash used by operating activities of $99.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in cash used by operating activities was driven primarily by the timing of certain pharmacy rebate receipts.
As of March 31, 2016, unregulated cash and investments were approximately $637.0 million compared with $816.1 million as of December 31, 2015, and $92.6 million as of March 31, 2015. The sequential decrease was primarily due to the $100.0 million payment in connection with the payoff of the term loan in January 2016 as previously disclosed.
Days in claims payable (DCP) was 45.9 days as of March 31, 2016, compared with 42.9 days as of March 31, 2015 and 47.1 days as of December 31, 2015. The sequential decrease was primarily the result of normal seasonality related to the company's Medicare PDP business.

(NYSE: WCG) focuses exclusively on providing government-sponsored managed care services, primarily through Medicaid, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans, to families, children, seniors and individuals with complex medical needs.

Basis of Presentation
In addition to results determined under GAAP, WellCare provides certain non-GAAP measurements that management believes are useful in assessing the company's performance. Earnings per share, net income and, as noted below, other specific operating and financial results have been adjusted for the effect of certain expenses related to previously disclosed government investigations and related litigation and resolution costs ("investigation costs"); transitory costs related to the company's decision to change its PBM as of January 1, 2016 ("PBM transitory costs"); certain nonrecurring incurred Iowa-related SG&A expenses relating to readiness costs, certain wind-down costs of WellCare's Iowa operations and certain legal costs ("Iowa SG&A costs"); costs related to the divestiture of Sterling ("Sterling divestiture costs"); the effect of a gain on the divestiture of Sterling and changes to the gain ("Sterling gain"); and, amortization expense associated with prior acquisitions ("acquisition-related amortization expenses"). Effective January 1, 2016, the company redefined adjusted net income and adjusted EPS to exclude the after-tax effect of acquisition-related amortization expense. Accordingly, for comparability, results for the 2015 prior periods were adjusted to conform with this presentation. Management believes these items are not indicative of long-term business operations performance.
The company is not able to project at the time of this press release the amount of future expenses associated with potential changes in the Sterling gain or investigation costs and, therefore, cannot reconcile projected non-GAAP metrics affected by these items to projected GAAP metrics.
Following is a description of the adjustments made to GAAP measures used to calculate the non-GAAP measures used in this news release.
Adjusted premium revenue (non-GAAP) = Total premium revenue (GAAP) less Medicaid premium taxes revenue and Medicaid reimbursements of the ACA industry fee. The company's adjusted Medicaid Health Plans segment premium revenue uses this non-GAAP definition of adjusted premium revenue.
MBR (GAAP) = medical benefits expense divided by total premium revenue (GAAP).
Adjusted MBR (non-GAAP) = medical benefits expense divided by adjusted premium revenue. The company's adjusted Medicaid Health Plans segment MBR uses this non-GAAP definition of adjusted MBR.
SG&A expense ratio (GAAP) = SG&A expense (GAAP) divided by total premium revenue (GAAP).
Adjusted SG&A expense (non-GAAP) = SG&A expense (GAAP) less investigation costs, PBM transitory costs, Sterling divestiture costs and Iowa SG&A costs.
Adjusted SG&A ratio (non-GAAP) = adjusted SG&A expense divided by adjusted premium revenue.
Adjusted depreciation & amortization = depreciation & amortization expense (GAAP) less acquisition-related amortization expenses.
Adjusted income before taxes (non-GAAP) = income before income taxes (GAAP) less investigation costs, PBM transitory costs, Sterling divestiture costs, Iowa SG&A costs, acquisition-related amortization expenses, and the Sterling gain.
Adjusted income tax expense (non-GAAP) = income tax associated with the applicable adjusted income before taxes, based on the applicable effective income tax rate.
Adjusted effective income tax rate (non-GAAP) = adjusted income tax expense divided by adjusted income before taxes.
Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) = adjusted income before taxes less adjusted income tax expense.
Net income margin (GAAP) = net income (GAAP) divided by total premium revenue (GAAP)
Adjusted net income margin (non-GAAP) = adjusted net income divided by adjusted premium revenue.
Adjusted earnings per diluted share (non-GAAP) = Adjusted net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

Comprised of investigation, Sterling divestiture, PBM transitory and Iowa SG&A costs, as disclosed in the "Reconciliation of Selling, General and Administrative Expense Ratios" table. |
|
(b) |
Effective January 1, 2016, the Company redefined adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share to exclude the after-tax effect of acquisition-related amortization expenses. Accordingly, results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were adjusted to conform to this presentation, which increased adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share by $1.8 million and $0.04 per share, respectively. |
|
(c) |
The company estimated the effect on income tax expense and the effective tax rate associated with the investigation costs, PBM transitory costs, Sterling divestiture costs, Iowa SG&A costs and acquisition-related amortization expenses. These estimates are based on the effective income tax rates applicable to adjusted (non-GAAP) results. |
