First Quarter Financial Results*

* Refer to the Basis of Presentation for a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures.

Variances for the three months ended March 31, 2016 versus March 31, 2015:

• The increase in revenue between periods resulted primarily from revenue from the 4D and TMG acquisitions, and the impact of new business and same store growth, which were partially offset by the loss of revenues associated with contract terminations.
• The decrease in segment profit is primarily due to the impact of contract terminations and net unfavorable year-over-year medical claims development. In addition, the current quarter includes a loss of approximately $4.5 million from our Part D Plan, which we project to be timing-related as a result of benefit seasonality. These decreases were partially offset by the net impact of new business, net same store growth and higher earnings in our Pharmacy business. Included in segment profit this quarter is approximately $3.0 million of net favorable non-recurring items, mainly related to retroactive rate changes in the Healthcare segment.
• The decrease in adjusted net income between periods was mainly due to the decrease in segment profit and a higher effective income tax rate in the current quarter.
• In addition to the items affecting adjusted net income explained above, the increase in net income between periods resulted primarily from a decrease in contingent consideration expense and stock compensation expense related to acquisitions.

"Our Pharmacy business began the year with solid performance, maintaining its positive momentum from 2015, and we continue to experience traction across all of our Pharmacy markets. In our Healthcare business, our results reflect modest progress in Magellan Complete Care of Florida. As we continue to implement our medical action plans, we expect care costs to further improve over the remainder of the year," said Barry M. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer of Magellan Health. "We continue to execute on our long-term strategic growth plan, and I am pleased with our progress to date, as well as with the numerous growth opportunities in both our Pharmacy and Healthcare businesses."

Results and Outlook

"Relative to full year 2016, we are revising our guidance to reflect an increased new business projection, as well as the impact of recent share repurchase activity," said Jonathan N. Rubin, chief financial officer of Magellan Health. "We now expect revenue to be in the range of $4.62 to $4.86 billion. We are maintaining our previous ranges for segment profit, adjusted net income, and net income. We now expect EPS to be between $2.07 and $2.84, and adjusted EPS between $3.19 and $3.96, based on average fully diluted shares of 24.6 million. This updated share count reflects share repurchases and option exercises through April 29, 2016 but excludes any potential future activity. In addition, we are revising our guidance for cash flow from operations to a range of $96 million to $127 million, which reflects the projected timing of receivables related to our Part D business, primarily from CMS.

"Compared to the first quarter of 2016, we expect an increased segment profit run rate for the remainder of the year due to continued care management progress in MCC of Florida, normal earnings seasonality in our Part D Plan, the impact of business growth, primarily in Pharmacy, and seasonality and timing of care results and customer settlements across our businesses."

Basis of Presentation

In addition to results determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Magellan provides certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful in assessing the company's performance. Following is a description of these important non-GAAP measures.

Segment profit is equal to net revenues less the sum of cost of care, cost of goods sold, direct service costs and other operating expenses, and includes income from unconsolidated subsidiaries, but excludes segment profit or loss from non-controlling interests held by other parties, stock compensation expense, as well as changes in the fair value of contingent consideration recorded in relation to acquisitions.

Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share reflect certain adjustments made for acquisitions completed after January 1, 2013 to exclude non-cash stock compensation expense resulting from restricted stock purchases by sellers, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, as well as amortization of identified acquisition intangibles.

Included in the tables issued with this press release are the reconciliations from non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures.
