Reaffirms Full Year 2025 Guidance

Molina Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:MOH) (the "Company") today reported first quarter 2025 GAAP earnings per diluted share of $5.45 and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $6.08. Financial results are summarized below:

Quarter Highlights

• As of March 31, 2025, the Company served approximately 5.8 million members, an increase of 25,000 members compared to March 31, 2024.
• Premium revenue was approximately $10.6 billion for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 12% year over year.
• GAAP net income was $5.45 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 5% year over year.
• Adjusted net income was $6.08 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 6% year over year.
• The Company reaffirmed its full year 2025 earnings guidance with expected premium revenue of approximately $42 billion and adjusted earnings of at least $24.50 per diluted share.
• New store embedded earnings are now at $8.65 per diluted share.

"Our first quarter results reflect our team's disciplined approach to medical cost management in an improving rate environment," said Joseph Zubretsky, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our 2025 earnings and growth profiles are solid, and we remain confident in our ability to achieve our 13% to 15% long-term adjusted EPS growth target."

Premium Revenue

Premium revenue was approximately $10.6 billion for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 12% year over year. The higher premium revenue reflects new contract wins, acquisitions, growth in the Company's current footprint, and rate increases, partially offset by the impact of Medicaid redeterminations in 2024.

Net Income

GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $5.45 per diluted share, an increase of 5% year over year. Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $6.08 per diluted share, an increase of 6% year over year.

Medical Care Ratio (MCR)

• The consolidated MCR for the first quarter of 2025 was 89.2% and reflects strong medical cost management.
• The Medicaid MCR for the first quarter of 2025 was 90.3% and in line with the Company's expectations. Medical costs increased moderately as expected due to utilization of long-term services and supports, pharmacy, and behavioral health services, as well as seasonal illnesses. These higher medical costs were offset by the new rate cycle.
• The Medicare MCR for the first quarter of 2025 was 88.3%, and in line with the Company's expectations, reflecting pricing and benefit adjustments implemented for 2025 and the exit from MAPD in thirteen states.
• The Marketplace MCR for the first quarter of 2025 was 81.7%. Within that result, approximately 400 basis points was due to prior year final risk adjustment and member reconciliations and a higher "new store" MCR related to the ConnectiCare acquisition. Excluding these items, the Marketplace MCR was approximately 77.7% and in line with the Company's expectations.

General and Administrative Expense Ratio

The G&A ratio and the adjusted G&A ratio for the first quarter of 2025 were 6.9% and 6.8%, respectively, reflecting disciplined cost management and the continued benefit of operating leverage.

Balance Sheet

Cash and investments at the parent company were $191 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $445 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company purchased approximately 1.7 million shares for $500 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Days in claims payable at March 31, 2025, was 46 and reflects the timing of claim payments.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $190 million, compared to $214 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

2025 Guidance

Premium revenue guidance for the full year is unchanged and expected to be approximately $42 billion, an increase of approximately 9% from the full year 2024.

The Company expects its full year GAAP earnings in 2025 to be at least $22.32 per share and reaffirms its full year adjusted earnings in 2025 to be at least $24.50 per share, representing 8% growth over the full year 2024.

CHANGE IN MEDICAL CLAIMS AND BENEFITS PAYABLE

(Dollars in millions)

The Company's claims liabilities include additional reserves to account for moderately adverse conditions based on historical experience and other factors including, but not limited to, variations in claims payment patterns, changes in utilization and cost trends, known outbreaks of disease, and large claims. The Company's reserving methodology is consistently applied across all periods presented. The amounts displayed for "Components of medical care costs related to: Prior year" represent the amounts by which the original estimates of claims and benefits payable at the beginning of the year were more than the actual liabilities based on information (principally the payment of claims) developed since those liabilities were first reported. The following table presents the components of the change in medical claims and benefits payable for the periods indicated:

MOLINA HEALTHCARE, INC.

RECONCILIATION OF UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(In millions, except per diluted share amounts)

The Company believes that certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures are useful supplemental measures to investors in comparing the Company's performance to the performance of other public companies in the health care industry. The non-GAAP financial measures are also used internally to enable management to assess the Company's performance consistently over time. These non-GAAP financial measures, presented below, should be considered as supplements to, and not as substitutes for or superior to, GAAP measures.

Adjustments represent additions and deductions to GAAP net income as indicated in the table below, which include the non-cash impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, and the impact of certain expenses and other items that management believes are not indicative of longer-term business trends and operations.

Adjusted G&A Ratio represents the GAAP G&A ratio, recognizing adjustments.

Adjusted net income represents GAAP net income recognizing the adjustments, net of tax. The Company believes that adjusted net income is helpful to investors in assessing the Company's financial performance.

Adjusted net income per diluted share represents adjusted net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

Adjusted after-tax margin represents adjusted net income, divided by total revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company includes in this release the financial measure, "new store embedded earnings," which is a non-GAAP measure. The term is defined as the incremental diluted earnings per share impact that we expect to achieve between 2026 and 2028 related to newly awarded but not yet commenced state Medicaid contracts, and recently closed and announced acquisitions. The incremental impact reflects the expected full-year earnings for the newly-awarded California, Iowa, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, and Georgia Medicaid contracts, the newly-awarded Idaho, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Ohio Medicare Duals contracts, and the California Medicare Health Plans and ConnectiCare acquisitions, not yet included in the 2025 full-year guidance issued by the Company. This measure excludes amortization of intangible assets and non-recurring costs associated with acquisitions, including various transaction and integration costs. The Company and management believe this measure is useful to investors in assessing the Company's expected performance related to new Medicaid contracts and acquisitions, and is used internally to enable management to assess the Company's performance consistently over time. New store embedded earnings should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, GAAP measures. Management is unable to reconcile this measure to the growth in GAAP earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort due to the unknown impact from the amortization of intangible assets related to recently announced acquisitions, which cannot be determined until purchase accounting valuations are completed. Non-recurring costs associated with the recently announced acquisitions are estimated at approximately $23 million.
