Anthem Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results, Raises Full Year Outlook

Anthem, Inc. (NYSE: ANTM) reported second quarter financial results driven by strong revenue growth and steady progress on the implementation of IngenioRx.

"Our second quarter results reflect solid top line growth across our businesses and reinforce our commitment to innovation and performance execution,” said Gail K. Boudreaux, President and CEO. “We began successfully migrating members to IngenioRx on May 1 and have received transition approvals from all of our 14 Blue states and the majority of our Medicaid states. We are tracking ahead of expectations, and as a result, we now expect IngenioRx to achieve the upper end of our $0.70 - $0.90 guidance.”

“Contributing to the momentum of IngenioRx, we are pleased to announce our first external pharmacy contract win with Blue Cross of Idaho beginning January 1, 2020, further demonstrating the strength of our pharmacy offering and our ability to deliver more affordable care with a simplified consumer experience. I am excited about our future growth opportunities as we continue to leverage our growing suite of integrated solutions, including our recently announced acquisition of Beacon Health Options, to create greater value for the customers, members and care providers that we are privileged to serve.”

CONSOLIDATED HIGHLIGHTS

Membership: Medical enrollment totaled approximately 40.9 million members at June 30, 2019, an increase of 1.3 million, or 3.3 percent, from June 30, 2018. Total fully insured enrollment grew by 1.1 million, or 7.7 percent, and self-funded enrollment increased by 188 thousand, or 0.7 percent. Government Business enrollment increased by 1.0 million, driven by growth in Medicaid and Medicare. Commercial & Specialty Business enrollment increased by 290 thousand, driven by growth in all lines of business.

Medical enrollment increased 9 thousand sequentially, reflecting growth in Medicaid and Medicare, partially offset by declines in Commercial & Specialty Business enrollment.

Operating Revenue: Operating revenue was $25.2 billion in the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $2.5 billion, or 10.8 percent, versus $22.7 billion in the prior year quarter. The increase in operating revenue reflected membership growth across our businesses and premium rate increases to cover overall cost trends. The increase was partially offset by the one year waiver of the health insurance tax in 2019.

Benefit Expense Ratio: The benefit expense ratio was 86.7 percent in the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 330 basis points from 83.4 percent in the prior year quarter. The increase, as expected, was primarily driven by the one year waiver of the health insurance tax in 2019 and medical cost experience in the Medicaid business.

Medical claims reserves established at December 31, 2018 developed moderately better than the Company’s expectation during the first six months of 2019.

Medical Cost Trend: For the full year 2019, the Company continues to expect underlying Local Group medical cost trend will be in the range of 6.0% +/- 50 basis points.

Days in Claims Payable: Days in Claims Payable was 39.1 days as of June 30, 2019, an increase of 0.6 days from 38.5 days as of March 31, 2019.

SG&A Expense Ratio: The SG&A expense ratio was 13.0 percent in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of 210 basis points from 15.1 percent in the second quarter of 2018. The decrease, as expected, was primarily driven by the one year waiver of the health insurance tax in 2019 and growth in operating revenue.

Operating Cash Flow: Operating cash flow was $1.4 billion, or 1.3 times net income, and an increase of $895 million compared to the second quarter of 2018. Operating cash flow was $3.1 billion, or 1.1 times net income for the six months ending June 30, 2019.

Share Repurchase Program: During the second quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased 1.7 million shares of its common stock for $458 million, or a weighted average price of $272.95. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $4.7 billion of Board-approved share repurchase authorization remaining.

Cash Dividend: During the second quarter of 2019, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.80 per share, representing a distribution of cash totaling $206 million.

On July 23, 2019, the Audit Committee declared a third quarter 2019 dividend to shareholders of $0.80 per share. On an annualized basis, this equates to a dividend of $3.20 per share. The third quarter dividend is payable on September 25, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 10, 2019.

Investment Portfolio & Capital Position: During the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded net realized gains on financial instruments totaling $11 million and other-than-temporary impairment losses totaling $7 million. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded net realized gains of $4 million and other-than-temporary impairment losses totaling $4 million.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s net unrealized gain position in the investment portfolio was $561 million, consisting of fixed maturity securities. As of June 30, 2019 cash and investments at the parent company totaled approximately $1.4 billion.

Commercial & Specialty Business: Operating gain in the Commercial & Specialty Business segment totaled $983 million in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of $65 million, or 6.2 percent, from $1,048 million in the second quarter of 2018. The decrease is primarily driven by the impact of higher favorable risk adjustor adjustments recognized in 2018. The decline is partially offset by higher administrative fee revenue in our self-funded businesses, driven by greater penetration of value-added services.

Government Business: Operating gain in the Government Business segment was $478 million in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of $54 million, or 10.2 percent, from $532 million in the second quarter of 2018. The decrease is driven by continued elevated medical cost experience in Medicaid in select states and the one year waiver of the health insurance tax in 2019, partially offset by out of period revenue adjustments and Medicare membership growth.

Other: The Company reported an operating loss of $28 million in the Other segment for the second quarter of 2019, compared with an operating loss of $21 million in the prior year quarter.

Basis of Presentation

1. Operating revenue and operating gain are the key measures used by management to evaluate performance in each of its reporting segments, allocate resources, set incentive compensation targets and to forecast future operating performance. Operating gain is calculated as total operating revenue less benefit expense, cost of products sold and selling, general and administrative expense. It does not include net investment income, net realized gains/losses on financial instruments, other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in income, interest expense, amortization of other intangible assets, gains/losses on extinguishment of debt or income taxes, as these items are managed in a corporate shared service environment and are not the responsibility of operating segment management. Refer to the GAAP reconciliation tables.
2. Operating margin is defined as operating gain divided by operating revenue.
