Full Year 2020 Highlights and Other Recent Developments:
Full year 2020 net revenue from continuing operations increased 0.3% to $4.6 billion as compared to 2019.
Full year 2020 net income from continuing operations was $4.0 million as compared to $12.6 million for 2019. Net income was impacted by non-cash special charges related to a reduced real estate footprint and severance, higher discretionary benefits, and new contract implementation costs, partially offset by a deferred tax benefit realized from the sale of the Magellan Complete Care Business (the “MCC Business”) to Molina Healthcare, Inc. (“Molina”).
Full year 2020 adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share were $19.6 million and $0.77 as compared to $36.7 million and $1.49, respectively, for 2019.
On December 22, 2020, the Company announced the acquisition of a majority interest in Bayless Integrated Healthcare, a leading integrated behavioral and primary care provider in Arizona.
On December 31, 2020 the Company completed the sale of the MCC Business to Molina for cash in the amount of $850 million plus closing adjustments of $158 million (subject to post-closing adjustments, if any), and the assumption by Molina of liabilities of the MCC Business. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $348.1 million from the sale in discontinued operations.
On January 4, 2021 the Company and Centene Corporation announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Centene will acquire Magellan Health for $95 per share in cash for a total enterprise value of $2.2 billion . The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2021, subject to customary regulatory and shareholder approvals.
On January 13, 2021 the Company led a Series B financing in NeuroFlow, a digital health company combining workflow automation, consumer engagement solutions, and applied AI to promote behavioral health integration in all care settings.
“I am proud of our accomplishments in 2020, and I am grateful for all of our Magellan Health associates for how well they adapted to an environment dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic. During 2020, we remained focused on delivering on our commitments to members, customers and shareholders, while also making significant progress to rationalize our cost structure and advance our innovation and growth initiatives. Through the successful transition of the MCC Business to Molina on December, 31, 2020, we also achieved our goal to reposition Magellan’s business,” said Kenneth Fasola, chief executive officer, Magellan Health.
“On January 4, 2021, we announced that we entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Centene Corporation will acquire Magellan Health for $95 per share in cash. I am pleased with the energy and enthusiasm exhibited by both organizations about this transaction,” continued Fasola. “I expect Magellan to continue to have significant opportunities serving third-party customers and growing as a payer services business operating independently under Centene’s Health Care Enterprises division.”
Net Revenue
Net revenue from continuing operations was $4.58 billion for 2020, an increase of 0.3% compared to 2019 primarily due to growth in the Pharmacy Management segment, partially offset by a modest decline in the Healthcare segment.
Segment Profit
Segment profit from continuing operations was $144.0 million for 2020, compared to $185.8 million in 2019.
Healthcare segment profit was $135.2 million , representing a decrease of $9.0 million from 2019. This year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by net contract losses and higher discretionary benefits, partially off-set by lower utilization.
Pharmacy Management segment profit was $85.4 million , representing a decrease of $25.1 million from 2019. This year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by start-up costs associated with the Medi-Cal PBA contract, lower PBM gross margin and higher discretionary benefits, partially off-set by strong results from specialty pharmacy operations.
Corporate segment costs inclusive of eliminations, but excluding stock compensation expense, totaled $76.6 million , as compared to $68.8 million in 2019. This increase was primarily driven by transaction related expenses and increased discretionary compensation.
Other Items
The Company recorded a special charge of $34.1 million during 2020 primarily associated with non-cash lease termination and abandonment costs for planned reductions to the Company’s real estate footprint and severance related to the transformation operational initiatives.
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for 2020 was $378.3 million , as compared to $43.3 million during 2019. This increase was primarily driven by a $348.1 million gain realized on the sale of the MCC Business to Molina and lower utilization trends due to COVID-19.
Cash Flow & Balance Sheet
Cash flow provided by operations from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, was $179.5 million , as compared to $183.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s unrestricted cash and investments totaled $1,148.8 million , as compared to $81.1 million at December 31, 2019. This increase is largely due to the receipt of proceeds from the sale of the MCC Business to Molina. Approximately $35.0 million of the unrestricted cash and investments at December 31, 2020 is related to excess capital and undistributed earnings held at regulated entities of continuing operations.
Earnings Conference Call
Due to the pending transaction with Centene, the Company is not hosting a conference call in conjunction with its 2020 earnings release and does not expect to do so in future quarters. Please direct any questions regarding this earnings release to Magellan’s Investor Relations or Media contacts.
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 revenue 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 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, special charges, and any impact related to the sale of MCC.
Included in the tables issued with this press release are the reconciliations from GAAP measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures.
MCC Business Reflected as Discontinued Operations
Due to the sale of the MCC Business to Molina, the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented reflect the MCC Business as discontinued operations.
