Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This earnings release contains “forward-looking statements” regarding the Company’s expected results for fiscal years 2011 and 2012. All of our forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions. Actual results could differ materially due to the unexpected failure of our assumptions or due to adverse developments related to numerous risk factors, including but not limited to the following:

• significant budgetary pressures on state governments and their potential inability to maintain the currently agreed-upon payment rates to our health plans, to implement expected rate increases, or to maintain existing benefit packages or membership eligibility thresholds or criteria;

• increases in our Aged, Blind or Disabled membership at our California and Texas health plans consistent with our expectations;

• uncertainties regarding the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, including its possible repeal, judicial overturning of the individual insurance mandate, the effect of various implementing regulations, and uncertainties regarding the likely impact of other federal or state health care and insurance reform measures;

• management of our medical costs, including seasonal flu patterns and rates of utilization that are consistent with our expectations;

• the success of our efforts to retain existing government contracts in connection with upcoming state requests for proposals (RFPs) in Washington and Louisiana;

• the success of our efforts to obtain new government contracts in connection with upcoming RFPs in both existing states (Texas and Florida) and new states (Arizona, Georgia, and Illinois) and our ability to grow our revenues through 2012 consistent with our expectations;

• the accurate estimation of incurred but not reported medical costs across our health plans;

• risks associated with the continued growth in new Medicaid and Medicare enrollees;

• retroactive adjustments to premium revenue or accounting estimates which require adjustment based upon subsequent developments, including Medicaid pharmaceutical rebates;

• the continuation and renewal of the government contracts of our health plans and of Molina Medicaid Solutions and the terms on which such contracts are renewed;

• the timing of receipt and recognition of revenue and the amortization of expense under the state contracts of Molina Medicaid Solutions;

• additional administrative costs and the potential payment of additional amounts to providers and/or the state as a result of MMIS implementation issues in Idaho;

• the certification of the MMIS systems in both Maine and Idaho during 2011;

• government audits and reviews, including the audit of our Medicare plans by CMS;

• changes with respect to our provider contracts and the loss of providers;

• the establishment of a federal or state medical cost expenditure floor as a percentage of the premiums we receive, and the interpretation and implementation of medical cost expenditure floors, administrative cost and profit ceilings, and profit sharing arrangements;

• the interpretation and implementation of at-risk premium rules regarding the achievement of certain quality measures;

• approval by state regulators of dividends and distributions by our health plan subsidiaries;

• changes in funding under our contracts as a result of regulatory changes, programmatic adjustments, or other reforms;

• high dollar claims related to catastrophic illness;

• the favorable resolution of litigation or arbitration matters;

• restrictions and covenants in our credit facility;

• the relatively small number of states in which we operate health plans;

• the availability of financing to fund and capitalize our acquisitions and start-up activities and to meet our liquidity needs;

• a state’s failure to renew its federal Medicaid waiver;

• an inadvertent unauthorized disclosure of protected health information;

• changes generally affecting the managed care or Medicaid management information systems industries;

• increases in government surcharges, taxes, and assessments;

• changes in general economic conditions, including unemployment rates;

and numerous other risk factors, including those discussed in our periodic reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These reports can be accessed under the investor relations tab of our Company website or on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Given these risks and uncertainties, we can give no assurances that our forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, or that any other results or events projected or contemplated by our forward-looking statements will in fact occur, and we caution investors not to place undue reliance on these statements. All forward-looking statements in this release represent our judgment as of January 26, 2011, and we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to conform the statement to actual results or changes in our expectations.

Benefits of scale Over the next three years, health insurance plans are required to upgrade their systems for diagnosis, procedure coding and claims processing to the International Classification of Diseases - ICD-10. Per-Member Estimated Cost of ICD-10 Implementation by size of company Source: America's Health Insurance Plans, Center for Policy and Research.

Why managed care is a viable solution Although some States project improved cash flows over the next few years as the economy recovers, States' fiscal conditions remain very weak. (CHART) - -$110 - -$191 - -$160 - -$140 State Budget Shortfalls After Use of Recovery Act Funds Budget shortfalls in billions Source: Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Analysis using data from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Department of Education, Congressional Budget Office, and state budget documents. December 2010 Budget gaps offset by Recovery Act and extension Remaining Budget gaps after Recovery Act and extension States will look for Medicaid health plans to provide budget certainty, cost savings, and flexible financing mechanisms. Utah: Transition from cost plus contract to full risk in late 2009 Ohio: Switched from pre-payment of its premium, to mid-month payments in which premium is earned California: Delayed premium payments or issued State IOUs until budget was finalized (100 days late) 12

Molina Direct Delivery The growing and aging U.S. population foreshadows an increasing shortage of physicians over the next 15 years. Health care reform is estimated to worsen the shortfall by 25%. The shortfall will be most acutely felt among already underserved populations. Approximately 20% of California health plan membership now being served by plan's primary care clinics Increasing capacity to accommodate ABD growth in California and Washington Increased access to primary care through collocation with behavioral health provider Expansion in direct delivery provides a vehicle for capturing increases in reimbursement 170 160 150 140 130 120 110 100 2000 2015 2020 2025 Index of growth in number of physicians Index of growth in total U.S. population Index of growth in total U.S. population, age 65+ Sources: Associate of American Medical Colleges, "The Physician Shortage and Health Care Reform" https://www.aamc.org/download/70308/data/physicianshortagefs.pdf Percent Change (100 is baseline) Our clinics allow us to respond to the physician shortage. 13

Refocusing of Medicare Duals account for approximately 15% of Medicaid enrollees but contribute to 39% of all Medicaid spending Medicaid/Medicare spending averages $20K per dual per year, 5X greater than other Medicare beneficiaries Dual population will highly benefit from managed care Source: Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured, "Dual Eligbles" fact sheet, December 2010. http://www.kff.org/medicaid/upload/4091-07.pdf (CHART) Nearly 9 million Medicaid beneficiaries are dual eligibles: low-income seniors and younger persons with disabilities who are enrolled in both the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Change in Medicare Enrollment 2006-YTD 3Q2010 15

The future of health plan RFPs The Request for Proposal (RFP) is a common tool employed by State Medicaid agencies for selecting health plans. Although a robust RFP pipeline is expected ahead of health care reform, States will have to consider other contracting methods. States determine pricing; not the bidders Health plan RFPs are becoming increasingly costly for States to administer Separate processes for similar populations and programs across different geographies is not cost- effective Separate contracts may lead to selective participation Limiting the number of health plans reduces competition 16

An end to ARRA FMAP in July is estimated to increase States' non-federal share of Medicaid expenditures by over 30%. Possible state responses include changes in: Eligibility Provider Rates Benefits Utilization Controls Cost Sharing Use of managed care (expansion) 17

Cautionary Statement Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This slide presentation contains numerous "forward-looking statements" regarding the Company's expected results for fiscal years 2011 and 2012. All of our forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the assumptions stated in the slide presentation. Actual results could differ materially due to the unexpected failure of one or more of our assumptions, or due to adverse developments related to numerous risk factors, including but not limited to the following: significant budgetary pressures on state governments and their potential inability to fully fund Medicaid or CHIP in 2011 or 2012, to maintain the currently agreed-upon payment rates to our health plans, or to maintain existing benefit packages or membership eligibility thresholds or criteria; uncertainties regarding the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, including its possible repeal, judicial overturning of the individual insurance mandate, the effect of various implementing regulations, and uncertainties regarding the likely impact of other federal or state health care and insurance reform measures; management of our medical costs, including seasonal flu patterns and rates of utilization that are consistent with our expectations; the success of our efforts to retain existing government contracts and to obtain new government contracts in connection with upcoming state requests for proposals (RFPs) in both existing and new states, and our ability to grow our revenues consistent with our expectations; the accurate estimation of incurred but not reported medical costs across our health plans; risks associated with the continued growth in new Medicaid enrollees; retroactive adjustments to premium revenue or accounting estimates which require adjustment based upon subsequent developments, including Medicaid pharmaceutical rebates; the continuation and renewal of the government contracts of our health plans and of Molina Medicaid Solutions and the terms on which such contracts are renewed; the timing of receipt and recognition of revenue and the amortization of expense under the state contracts of Molina Medicaid Solutions; additional administrative costs and the potential payment of additional amounts to providers as a result of MMIS system issues in Idaho; government audits and reviews, including the audit of our Medicare plans by CMS; changes with respect to our provider contracts and the loss of providers; the establishment of a federal or state medical cost expenditure floor as a percentage of the premiums we receive, and the interpretation and implementation of medical cost expenditure floors, administrative cost and profit ceilings, and profit sharing arrangements; the interpretation and implementation of at-risk premium rules regarding the achievement of certain quality measures; approval by state regulators of dividends and distributions by our health plan subsidiaries; changes in funding under our contracts as a result of regulatory changes, programmatic adjustments, or other reforms; high dollar claims related to catastrophic illness; the favorable resolution of litigation or arbitration matters; restrictions and covenants in our credit facility; the relatively small number of states in which we operate health plans; the availability of financing to fund and capitalize our acquisitions and start-up activities and to meet our liquidity needs; a state's failure to renew its federal Medicaid waiver; an inadvertent unauthorized disclosure of protected health information; changes generally affecting the managed care or Medicaid management information systems industries; increases in government surcharges, taxes, and assessments; changes in general economic conditions, including unemployment rates; and numerous other risk factors, including those discussed in our periodic reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These reports can be accessed under the investor relations tab of our Company website or on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Given these risks and uncertainties, we can give no assurances that our forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, or that any other results or events projected or contemplated by our forward-looking statements will in fact occur, and we caution investors not to place undue reliance on these statements. All forward^looking statements in this slide presentation represent our judgment as of January 26, 2011, and we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to conform the statement to actual results or changes in our expectations. 49
