Molina Healthcare Inc. (MOH, Financial) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2009-03-31.
Molina Healthcare is a multi-state managed care organization that arranges for the delivery of healthcare services to persons eligible for Medicaid and other programs for low-income families and individuals. It currently operates health plans in California Washington Michigan and Utah. Molina Healthcare Inc. has a market cap of $578.9 million; its shares were traded at around $22.21 with a P/E ratio of 9.9 and P/S ratio of 0.2. Molina Healthcare Inc. had an annual average earning growth of 8.8% over the past 5 years.
First quarter 2009 net income of $12.2 million was comparable to first quarter 2008 net income of $12.5 million. Strong first quarter growth in premium revenue, primarily due to higher enrollment, offset a slight increase in the medical care ratio. Higher premium revenue also provided greater administrative leverage as core administrative expense (defined as administrative expenses excluding premium taxes) dropped to 7.6% of total operating revenue in 2009 from 7.8% in 2008. The $3.9 million, or 52%, quarter-over-quarter drop in investment income that we experienced in the first quarter of 2009 was partially offset by a $1.5 million gain from the repurchase of our convertible senior notes.
The amount of the premiums paid to us may vary substantially between states and among various government programs. PMPM premiums for members of the Childrens Health Insurance Program (CHIP) are generally among our lowest, with rates as low as approximately $80 PMPM in California. Premium revenues for Medicaid members are generally higher. Among the Temporary Aid for Needy Families (TANF) Medicaid population the Medicaid group that includes most mothers and children PMPM premiums range between approximately $100 in California to over $250 in Missouri and New Mexico. Among our Medicaid Aged, Blind or Disabled (ABD) membership, PMPM premiums range from approximately $450 in California and Texas to over $1,000 in Ohio. Medicare premiums are approximately $1,100 PMPM, with Medicare revenue totaling $27.1 million and $21.3 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
As of March 31, 2009, we had a liability of approximately $531,000 accrued pursuant to our profit-sharing agreement with the state of Texas for the 2008 contract year (ending August 31, 2008) and the 2009 contract year (ending August 31, 2009). During 2008, we paid the state of Texas $10.1 million relating to the 2007 and 2008 contract years, and the 2007 contract year is now closed. Because the final settlement calculations include a claims run-out period of nearly one year, the amounts recorded, based on our estimates, may be adjusted. We believe that the ultimate settlement will not differ materially from our estimates.
