Variances for the three months ended September 30, 2016 versus September 30, 2015:

The increase in net revenue is attributable to new business and same store growth, as well as revenue from the Armed Forces Services Corporation (AFSC) and The Management Group (TMG) acquisitions, partially offset by the loss of revenues associated with terminated contracts.
The change in net income between periods is due to the after-tax impact of higher segment profit, and a reduction in contingent consideration expense and stock compensation expense related to acquisitions.
The increase in segment profit is primarily due to new business, improved results in our Magellan Complete Care (MCC) business, net same store growth, and the inclusion of AFSC and TMG results in the current quarter, partially offset by the impact of contract terminations. Included in segment profit this quarter is approximately $13 million of net favorable out-of-period items, primarily related to favorable medical claims development in the healthcare segment.
The change in adjusted net income between periods was mainly due to the after-tax impact of higher segment profit in the current quarter.

"I am very pleased with this quarter's results. Over the last several years we've built an exceptionally capable senior leadership team, and our results reflect strong execution across all of our business units. We remain focused on delivering strong shareholder value, today and in the future, through both the results we deliver and the positive impact we have on the lives of the individuals we serve," said Barry M. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer of Magellan Health.

Results and Outlook

"We had strong results this quarter in both our pharmacy and healthcare segments," said Jonathan N. Rubin, chief financial officer of Magellan.

"We are raising our guidance for full year 2016 to reflect the improved performance of MCC of Florida, favorable claims development and the impact of lower estimated depreciation and amortization expense. We now expect revenue to be in the range of $4.78 to $ 5.02 billion and net income to be $69 to $78 million, which equates to EPS between $2.86 and $3.24 per share. Segment profit is estimated to be in the range of $295 to $305 million. Adjusted net income is expected to be between $101 and $110 million, with adjusted EPS between $4.19 and $4.57. EPS and adjusted EPS are based on average fully diluted shares of 24.1 million. This updated share count reflects share repurchases and option exercises through November 7, 2016, but excludes any potential future activity. In addition, we are revising our guidance for cash flow from operations, before the impact of the shift between restricted cash and restricted investments, to a range of $122 to $153 million, mainly due to the increased segment profit projection.

"Looking ahead, as compared to our updated segment profit guidance range for 2016, we currently expect that we will have solid segment profit growth in 2017. Our positive update to 2016 guidance reflects our strong operating performance, as well as successful execution of our growth strategy. This positions us well for next year, and I look forward to further discussing our 2017 guidance and sharing the details for our plan for solid earnings growth during our guidance call later this month."

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, special charges or benefits, 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, amortization of identified acquisition intangibles, as well as impairment 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.
