Magellan Health Services Reports Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results and Updates 2007 Segment Profit Guidance

AVON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 27, 2007--Magellan Health Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:MGLN) today reported operating results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007. In addition, the Company said that it expects to generate 2007 segment profit in the range of $190 million to $210 million excluding an adverse impact of approximately $10 million associated with the start of the Company's contract to manage behavioral health care for the Maricopa County Regional Behavioral Health Authority, awarded in June.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company reported net revenue of $452.9 million and net income of $16.8 million, or $.42 per diluted common share. For the prior year quarter, net revenue was $398.9 million. Net income for the prior year quarter was $20.2 million, or $.52 per diluted common share. Segment profit (which represents income from continuing operations before stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, gain on sale of assets, special charges or benefits, income taxes and minority interest) for the current year quarter was $46.6 million, compared with $50.1 million in the prior year quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company reported net revenue of $939.9 million and net income of $37.8 million, or $0.96 per diluted common share. For the prior year period, the Company reported net revenue of $799.5 million and net income of $42.5 million, or $1.11 per diluted common share. Segment profit for the first six months of 2007 was $99.6 million versus $99.3 million for the prior year period.

See the attached tables detailing the Company's operating results, including results by segment.

The Company ended the quarter with unrestricted cash and investments of $263.5 million. Cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $90.1 million compared with $69.8 million for the comparable period in the prior year.

"Magellan has consistently produced overall strong financial results and I am generally pleased with our performance again this quarter," said Steven J. Shulman, chairman and chief executive officer of Magellan. "Highlights of the quarter included the successful implementation of the initial markets of our CIGNA risk radiology contract and the announcement of the award of the Maricopa County behavioral program, a three-year contract with annual revenue of approximately $500 million that is widely considered the largest public sector behavioral health care contract in the nation. Our win of the Maricopa contract is indicative of the creativity and expertise that we bring to our work in the public sector and the confidence that public purchasers have in our ability to design and implement programs that comprehensively address the needs of their stakeholders. We remain on target for the September 1 implementation of this important program."

Mark S. Demilio, chief financial officer, said, "We are pleased to report another solid quarter of earnings and cash flows. While the results in the quarter benefited from favorable prior period development of behavioral care costs, the underlying operating results were in line with our expectations. We continue to expect segment profit for the year to be $190 million to $210 million before taking into account the adverse impact associated with the Maricopa County contract. Our expected full-year results contemplate better than previously projected results in our behavioral health business, primarily due to favorable prior period care development, offset by reduced projections for our specialty pharmaceutical management segment, primarily due to slower than expected growth. We expect the 2007 impact of the implementation and ramp-up of Maricopa to be approximately $10 million, which includes a portion of the previously announced $10.5 million purchase price for several behavioral health direct care facilities that currently serve the contract."
