Triple-S Management Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2009 Results
Solid Revenue Growth and Good Expense Management;
2009 EPS Guidance Raised by $0.10
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, August 5, 2009 — Triple-S Management Corporation (NYSE:GTS), the largest managed care company in Puerto Rico, today announced consolidated revenues of $495.6 million and operating income of $23.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Net income of $18.7 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, includes an after tax net gain of $3.7 million, or $0.12 per share, in net realized and unrealized gains on investments and derivatives.
Second Quarter Highlights
  Total consolidated operating revenues increased 12.2 percent year over year to $490.9 million
 
  Operating income was $23.9 million
 
  Excluding net realized and unrealized gains on investments and a derivatives gain included within other income (expenses), net income was $15.0 million, or $0.51 per diluted share
 
  Consolidated loss ratio was 85.5 percent and the medical loss ratio (MLR) was 89.4 percent
 
  Consolidated operating expense ratio decreased 10 basis points to 14.4 percent
 
  Continued expansion of Medicare Advantage business: approximately 4,000 additional member months enrollment during the three months ended June 30, 2009, a 2.1 percent year-over-year increase
 
  Net cash flow provided by operating activities of $19.1 million
“Our second-quarter results demonstrate our continued ability to generate solid top-line growth, manage our operating costs while making the required investments in our future, and maintain our track record of excellent member retention,” said Ramón M. Ruiz-Comas, President and Chief Executive Officer. “While we did experience an increase in the adjusted MLR for our Commercial business, which should come down in the remainder of the year, the Medicare Advantage segment registered a further decline with respect to this metric. Utilization is tracking our expectations and second-half premiums will be higher, positioning us for additional improvement in the next six months of 2009.”

Ruiz-Comas added, “On July 1, 2009, we completed the purchase and integration of La Cruz Azul’s managed care assets, which consolidates the Blue Cross Blue Shield brand in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, as well as meaningfully expands our commercial opportunity. We are pleased that we were able to retain most of La Cruz Azul’s members while swiftly and seamlessly integrating the acquired business into our existing infrastructure. We continue to anticipate that this transaction will be accretive on a rolling 12-month basis and slightly additive to 2009 earnings per share.”
Consolidated operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009, were $490.9 million, 12.2 percent above the prior-year period. The increase resulted primarily from growth in Commercial and Medicare membership enrollment, as well as higher premium rates across all businesses. This quarter also includes a Medicare risk score premium adjustment of $12.8 million corresponding to 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. Offset, in part, by a $4.2 million adjustment that decreased Reform premiums. The three-month period ended June 30, 2008 includes the net effect of a $1.4 million final risk score premium adjustment for 2007. To a lesser degree, growth was aided by the addition of the Metro North region in the Reform business.
Consolidated claims incurred and operating expenses for the period were $467.0 million, an increase of 12.2 percent from the same period last year. Consolidated claims incurred were $398.4 million, up 12.3 percent from a year ago, principally due to increased claims in the managed care segment resulting from higher enrollment. The consolidated loss ratio rose 90 basis points from the prior-year period, to 85.5 percent, largely reflecting the increased utilization among local government employees, the effect of reserve developments in our managed care segment, and the impact of the aforementioned premium adjustments. Excluding the effect of those items, the consolidated loss ratio decreased 80 basis points. Operating expenses came in at $68.6 million, an 11.7 percent year-over-year increase, primarily resulting from higher volume in the Medicare and Commercial businesses, non-recurring expenses of $1.9 million, and the addition of the Metro North region ASO contract in November 2008. The consolidated operating expense ratio decreased 10 basis points, to 14.4 percent.
Consolidated income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased by $2.8 million or 74 percent from the same period last year due to a new special additional tax as well as to higher taxable income, resulting from an increase in operating income. This special additional tax is five percent over the taxable income and will be effective for a three year period, until the 2011 taxable year.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2009, was $18.7 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 29.4 million. This compares with net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008, of $12.1 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 32.2 million. The earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2009, include $0.11 per diluted share in after tax net realized and unrealized gains on investments and an increase in the unrealized gain in derivatives of $0.01 per diluted share included within other income (expenses). Excluding the effect of these items for the three months ended June 30, 2009, net income was $15.0 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared with $14.3 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the comparable 2008 quarter.

Segment Performance

Management evaluates performance based primarily on the operating revenues and operating income of each segment. Operating revenues include premiums earned, net administrative service fees and net investment income. Operating costs include claims incurred and operating expenses. The Company calculates operating income or loss as operating revenues minus operating expenses. Operating margin is defined as operating gain or loss divided by operating revenues.

Managed Care Results Summary
Total medical premiums earned for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $418.1 million, up 11.7 percent from the same period in 2008, primarily due to higher Commercial member enrollment and premium rate increases across all businesses. This quarter also includes a Medicare risk score premium adjustment of $12.8 million.
Medical premiums earned in the Medicare business rose $28.0 million, or 24.6 percent, to $141.6 million, largely the result of higher average premium rates and a $12.8 million risk score premium adjustment from CMS corresponding to 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. Member months enrollment increased by 431, or 0.2%, reflecting an increase of 3,859, or 2.1%, in Medicare Advantage membership and a decrease of 3,428, or 10.5%, in PDP membership.
Medical premiums earned in the Commercial business were up $13.4 million, or 7.5 percent, to $193.1 million, the net result of an increase of 47,066, or 3.8 percent, in member months enrollment and a 3.5% rise in the average premium rate.
Medical premiums earned in the Reform business rose $2.5 million, or 3.1 percent, to $83.4 million due to a premium rate increase of approximately 10 percent that became effective on July 1, 2008, offset in part by a $4.2 million adjustment to premiums as a result of the increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts and a reduction of 23,716, or 2.3 percent, in member months enrollment.
Administrative service fees were up $7.2 million, or 150.0 percent, due to an increase in member months enrollment of 636,681, or 127.5 percent. This sharp rise mainly reflects

the Metro-North region ASO contract, which became effective in November 2008, as well as new ASO commercial contracts that went into effect January 1, 2009.
Medical claims incurred increased by $42.7 million, or 12.9 percent, to $373.9 million, largely driven by the higher volume of business and MLR. The overall MLR increased 90 basis points during the three months ended June 30, 2009, to 89.4 percent. This increase was the result of the changes in the reserve estimates that affected the claims reserve in both periods, offset, in part, by the effect of the aforementioned premium adjustments. Excluding the effect of prior period reserve developments in the 2009 and 2008 periods, and considering the effect of premium adjustments, the MLR decreased by 80 basis points.
Operating expenses were up $5.5 million year over year, or 13.8 percent, to $45.4 million, primarily attributable to the higher volume of business associated with increased enrollment. In addition, a contingency accrual of approximately $2.5 million was recorded during the period, partially offset by a favorable $600,000 adjustment related to the settlement of an insurance recovery receivable of legal expenses. The segment’s operating expense ratio rose 10 basis points, to 10.6 percent.

Share Repurchase Update
In October 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $40 million of its common shares. Utilizing cash on hand, Triple-S has thus far bought back approximately 3.0 million Class B shares at an average price of $12.16. The repurchase is being conducted in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Triple-S continues to have approximately $3.9 million earmarked for share repurchases under its current Board authorization.
2009 Guidance
“We have once again raised our outlook for this year’s earnings per share. We now expect per-share earnings to be in the $2.03-$2.13 range, $0.10 above our prior guidance, reflecting mainly the accretion from the acquisition of La Cruz Azul,” said Ruiz-Comas. “Although our MLR will be somewhat higher than we were previously anticipating, all of our other performance metrics are running ahead of plan and have been adjusted accordingly.”
The Company’s revised outlook for full year 2009 is as follows:
     
    2009 Range
Medical enrollment fully-insured (member months)
  10.0-10.3 million
 
   
Medical enrollment self-insured (member months)

Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future sales, results of operations, developments, regulatory approvals or other circumstances. Sentences that include “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “project”, “may”, “will”, “shall”, “should” and similar expressions, whether in the positive or negative, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements in this news release reflect management’s current views about future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. Consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed here as a result of various factors, including all the risks discussed and identified in public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In addition, the Company operates in a highly competitive, constantly changing environment, influenced by very large organizations that have resulted from business combinations, aggressive marketing and pricing practices of competitors, and regulatory oversight. The following factors, if markedly different from the Company’s planning assumptions (either individually or in combination), could cause Triple-S Management’s results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements shared here:
  Trends in health care costs and utilization rates
 
  Ability to secure sufficient premium rate increases
 
  Competitor pricing below market trends of increasing costs
 
  Re-estimates of policy and contract liabilities
 
  Changes in government laws and regulations of managed care, life insurance or property and casualty insurance
 
  Significant acquisitions or divestitures by major competitors
 
  Introduction and use of new prescription drugs and technologies
 
  A downgrade in the Company’s financial strength ratings
 
  Litigation or legislation targeted at managed care, life insurance or property and casualty insurance companies
 
  Ability to contract with providers consistent with past practice
 
  Ability to successfully implement the Company’s disease management and utilization management programs
 
  Volatility in the securities markets and investment losses and defaults
 
  General economic downturns, major disasters, and epidemics
This list is not exhaustive. Management believes the forward-looking statements in this release are reasonable. However, there is no assurance that the actions, events or results anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them do, what impact they will have on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. In view of these uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. In addition, forward-looking statements are based on information available the day they are made, and (other than as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States) the Company does not intend to update or revise any of them in light of new information or future events.
