“We are pleased with our second quarter and year to date results as we continue to produce solid margin performance despite the challenges created by the pandemic,” said Joseph Zubretsky, president and CEO of Molina Healthcare. “We accomplished this while generating approximately 50% year-over-year premium revenue growth and successfully integrating businesses representing approximately $5 billion in annual revenue.”

Premium Revenue
Premium revenue was approximately $6.6 billion for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 51% compared to the second quarter of 2020. The higher premium revenue reflects increased organic membership in Medicaid, Medicare, and Marketplace, along with the impact of acquisitions that closed in the second half of 2020.

Net Income
Net income for the second quarter was $185 million, or $3.16 per diluted share, compared to $276 million, or $4.65 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted net income for the second quarter was $199 million, or $3.40 per diluted share, compared to $285 million, or $4.79 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2020.
The year over year comparison reflects the negative impact from the net effect of COVID in the second quarter of 2021 while, in contrast, the prior year quarter was positively impacted by the net effect of COVID.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $413 million, or $7.05 per diluted share, compared to $454 million, or $7.54 per diluted share in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $459 million, or $7.83 per diluted share, compared to $469 million, or $7.79 per diluted share in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Medical Care Ratio
The consolidated MCR for the second quarter was 88.4%, compared to 82.3% in the second quarter of 2020. The net effect of COVID increased the consolidated MCR by 110 basis points and impacted all three lines of business. In the prior year, the net effect of COVID decreased the consolidated MCR by approximately 350 basis points.
A year-over-year comparison is less meaningful than it would be in a typical year. The second quarter of 2020 was the first full quarter of the COVID pandemic, and was distorted by the significant positive net effect of COVID that characterized that early phase of the crisis. In contrast, the current quarter was negatively impacted by the net effect of COVID. Therefore, a sequential MCR comparison is more relevant.
On a sequential basis, the consolidated MCR for the second quarter was 88.4%, compared to 86.8% in the first quarter of 2021. The net effect of COVID increased the consolidated MCR by 110 basis points in the second quarter of 2021 and was negligible the first quarter.
Medicaid MCR: Increased to 89.0% compared to 87.5% for the first quarter of 2021. The increase in the MCR was primarily due to the net effect of COVID.
Medicare MCR: Decreased to 87.6% compared to 90.3% in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in the MCR was primarily due to the lower negative net effect of COVID and improved underlying performance compared to the first quarter.
Marketplace MCR: Increased to 84.8% compared to 77.3% for the first quarter of 2021. The impact from the net effect of COVID in the second quarter was approximately 500 basis

points, consistent with the first quarter, due to continued COVID utilization pressure in many geographies. The sequential increase in the MCR primarily reflects normal seasonality.

General and Administrative Expense Ratio
The G&A ratio for the second quarter was 7.1%, compared to 7.5% for the second quarter of 2020. The adjusted G&A ratio for the second quarter was 6.9%, compared to 7.5% for the second quarter of 2020 reflecting disciplined cost management and the benefits of fixed cost leverage produced by substantial revenue growth.

Balance Sheet
Cash and investments at the parent company amounted to $564 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to $644 million as of December 31, 2020. The decline was primarily due to the Company’s share repurchase program.

Cash Flow
Operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2021 amounted to $1,061 million and was higher compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to growth in operations and the net impact of timing differences in governmental receivables and payables.

2021 Guidance
The Company now expects its full year 2021 total revenue to be more than $26.0 billion, compared to the previous guidance of more than $25.0 billion, an increase of approximately 34% from the full year 2020.
Premium revenue guidance is now expected to be more than $25.0 billion, compared to the previous guidance of more than $24.0 billion, an increase of approximately 37% from the full year 2020.
The Company increased its full year 2021 adjusted earnings per share guidance to be no less than $13.25 per share, compared to the previous guidance of no less than $13.00.
Revised guidance reflects:
Updated assumptions for the Public Health Emergency period, and the associated pause on Medicaid membership redeterminations, which is now expected to continue through the fourth quarter of 2021;
Retention of pharmacy related premium in California, New York, and Kentucky;
Underlying outperformance;
Offset by an increase in the estimated net effect of COVID by $1.00 per share which is now expected to be approximately $2.50 per share for the full year; and
Continued caution in forecasting utilization trends in the remaining six months of the year due to the COVID pandemic.
The impact of the Affinity and the Cigna Texas membership acquisitions are not included.

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:

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.
