Consolidated Operations Results
GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $51.7 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared with a GAAP net loss of
$7.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014.
Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $59.5 million, or $1.34 per diluted share, compared with an adjusted net loss of $3.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014. The year-over-year improvement in adjusted net income is the result of operating improvement in all three of the company's business segments, with significant improvement in the Medicaid Health Plans and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans segments.
Premium revenue for the second quarter of 2015 increased 10.3 percent year over year to $3.4 billion primarily as a result of Medicaid membership growth and changes in membership mix.
GAAP SG&A expense was $255.5 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared with $228.9 million for the same period in 2014. Adjusted SG&A expense was $247.8 million in the second quarter of 2015, an increase of 13 percent from $219.9 million in the second quarter of 2014. The increase was driven primarily by increased membership.
The adjusted SG&A ratio was 7.3 percent in the second quarter of 2015 compared with 7.1 percent for the same period in 2014.
Medicaid Health Plans Segment Results
The company's Medicaid Health Plans segment membership increased by 233,000, or 10.8 percent year over year, to 2.4 million members as of June 30, 2015. The increase resulted primarily from membership growth in Florida, Illinois, and Kentucky and the inclusion of membership from the company's New Jersey acquisition that was completed on July 1, 2014. The company also noted that its Medicaid Health Plans segment membership grew 1.8 percent sequentially from March 31, 2015, reflecting growth in most of its Medicaid states.
Medicaid Health Plans segment premium revenue was $2.2 billion for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of 20.1 percent year over year, and was driven by the increase in membership and changes in the demographic mix of membership.
The Medicaid Health Plans segment MBR was 88.8 percent for the second quarter of 2015, an improvement of 470 basis points from the second quarter of 2014 and 130 basis points sequentially. The year-over-year improvement was primarily the result of better operating performance in most of the company's markets. Sequentially, the MBR improved due primarily to better execution and operating performance across the segment.
Medicare Health Plans Segment Results
The company's Medicare Health Plans segment membership as of June 30, 2015, decreased by 1.8 percent year over year to 388,000 members. The decrease was primarily the result of Medicare bid positioning for 2015. In addition, the company noted that as of June 30, 2015, membership in its Medicare Advantage Health Plans segment grew 2.0 percent sequentially from March 31, 2015.
Segment premium revenue in the second quarter of 2015 grew 1.5 percent year over year to $992.6 million. The increase was the result of 2015 bid results and higher premium yields.
The Medicare Health Plans segment MBR in the second quarter of 2015 was 86.4 percent, an improvement of 190 basis points compared with the second quarter of 2014 and 70 basis points compared with the first quarter of 2015, reflecting improved operating performance as a result of bid actions for the 2015 plan year.
Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (PDP) Segment Results
The company's Medicare PDP segment produced substantial improvement in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014, primarily driven by its 2015 bid strategy, operational execution and improved pharmacy rebate management.
The Medicare PDP segment MBR in the second quarter of 2015 was 79.2 percent, a decrease from 92.6 percent in the second quarter of 2014 and 99.5 percent in the first quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease resulted from bid actions for the 2015 plan year and the effect from the improved rebate contract. The sequential improvement was primarily driven by the seasonality of the PDP benefit design.
The company's Medicare PDP segment membership as of June 30, 2015, decreased 273,000 year over year, or 20.7 percent, to approximately 1.05 million members. The year-over-year decline in membership was primarily the result of the 2015 bid and was in-line with the company's expectations.
Premium revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $235.0 million, a 20.9 percent decrease from the second quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in membership resulting from the outcome of the 2015 Medicare PDP bids.
Operating Cash Flow and Financial Condition
Net cash provided by operating activities was $25.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $232.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash used in operating activities was $74.7 million compared with net cash used in operating activities of $246.6 million for six months ended June 30, 2014.

As of June 30, 2015, unregulated cash and investments were approximately $369.9 million compared with $92.6 million as of March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily the result of the additional $300 million senior notes issuance that the company completed in June 2015.
Days in claims payable (DCP) was 43 days as of June 30, 2015, compared with 43 days as of March 31, 2015, and 44 days as of June 30, 2014.

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. Following is a description of the calculation of important GAAP and non-GAAP measures used in this news release.
Premium revenue, as used in this press release and the basis of presentation below = GAAP total premium revenue – (Medicaid state premium taxes revenue + Medicaid state reimbursements of the ACA industry fee).
MBR (non-GAAP) = medical benefits expense / premium revenue. The Company's Medicaid MBR guidance uses this non-GAAP definition of MBR.
MBR (GAAP) = medical benefits expense / GAAP total premium revenue.
Net income and certain other operating results are reported after adjustment for certain SG&A expenses related to previously disclosed government investigations and related litigation and resolution costs, as well as Sterling divestiture-related costs. Management believes these items are not indicative of long-term business operations performance.
Adjusted SG&A expense (non-GAAP) = SG&A expense – (certain SG&A expenses related to previously disclosed government investigations and related litigation and resolution costs, as well as Sterling divestiture-related costs).
The adjusted administrative expense ratio (non-GAAP) = adjusted SG&A expense / (total revenues – Medicaid state premium taxes revenue – Medicaid state ACA industry fee reimbursements revenue). The administrative expense ratio (GAAP) = SG&A expense / total revenues.
Please refer to the schedules in this news release that provide supplemental information that reconcile results determined under GAAP to non-GAAP results.
The schedules contained in this news release may contain totals that do not foot due to rounding.
