NOTE A—General

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Magellan Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Magellan”), include Magellan and its subsidiaries (together with Magellan, the “Company”). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018.

Business Overview

The Company is a leader within the healthcare management business, and is focused on delivering innovative specialty solutions for the fastest growing, most complex areas of health, including special populations, complete pharmacy benefits, and other specialty carve-out areas of healthcare. The Company develops innovative solutions that combine advanced analytics, agile technology and clinical excellence to drive better decision making, positively impact members’ health outcomes and optimize the cost of care for the customers we serve. The Company provides services to health plans and other managed care organizations (“MCOs”), employers, labor unions, various military and governmental agencies and third party administrators (“TPAs”). Magellan operates three segments: Healthcare, Pharmacy Management and Corporate.

Healthcare

The Healthcare segment (“Healthcare”) consists of two reporting units – Commercial and Government.

The Commercial reporting unit’s customers include health plans, accountable care organizations (“ACOs”), and employers for whom Magellan provides carve-out management services for behavioral health, employee assistance plans (“EAP”), and other areas of specialty healthcare including diagnostic imaging, musculoskeletal management, cardiac, and physical medicine. These management services are applied to a health plan’s or ACO’s entire book of business including commercial, Medicaid and Medicare members or targeted complex populations.

The Government reporting unit contracts with local, state and federal governmental agencies to provide services to recipients under Medicaid, Medicare and other government programs. For certain contracts, the management of total medical cost, as well as long term support services, for special populations is delivered through Magellan Complete Care (“MCC”). These special populations include individuals with serious mental illness (“SMI”), dual eligibles, aged, blind and disabled (“ABD”) and other populations with unique and often complex healthcare needs. In addition, the Company’s management services include behavioral health and EAP.

Magellan’s coordination and management of these healthcare and long term support services are provided through its comprehensive network of medical and behavioral health professionals, clinics, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home care agencies and ancillary service providers. This network of credentialed providers is integrated with clinical and quality improvement programs to improve access to care and enhance the healthcare experience for individuals in need of care, while at the same time making the cost of these services more affordable for our customers. The Company generally does not directly provide or own any provider of treatment services, although it does employ licensed behavioral health counselors to deliver non‑medical counseling under certain government contracts.

The Company provides its Healthcare management services primarily through: (i) risk‑based products, where the Company assumes all or a substantial portion of the responsibility for the cost of providing treatment services in exchange for a fixed per member per month fee, or  (ii) administrative services only (“ASO”) products, where the Company provides services such as utilization review, claims administration and/or provider network management, but does not assume full responsibility for the cost of the treatment services, in exchange for an administrative fee and, in some instances, a gain share.

Pharmacy Management

The Pharmacy Management segment (“Pharmacy Management”) is comprised of products and solutions that provide clinical and financial management of pharmaceuticals paid under both the medical and the pharmacy benefit. Pharmacy Management’s services include: (i) pharmacy benefit management (“PBM”) services, including pharmaceutical dispensing operations; (ii) pharmacy benefit administration (“PBA”) for state Medicaid and other government sponsored programs; (iii)  clinical and formulary management programs; (iv) medical pharmacy management programs; and (v) programs for the integrated management of specialty drugs across both the medical and pharmacy benefit that treat complex conditions, regardless of site of service, method of delivery, or benefit reimbursement.

These services are available individually, in combination, or in a fully integrated manner. The Company markets its pharmacy management services to health plans, employers, third party administrators, managed care organizations, state governments, Medicare Part D, and other government agencies, exchanges, brokers and consultants. In addition, the Company will continue to upsell its pharmacy products to its existing customers and market its pharmacy solutions to the Healthcare customer base.

Pharmacy Management contracts with its customers for services using risk‑based, gain share or ASO arrangements. In addition, Pharmacy Management provides services to the Healthcare segment for its MCC business.

Corporate

This segment of the Company is comprised primarily of amounts not allocated to the Healthcare and Pharmacy Management segments that are largely associated with costs related to being a publicly traded company.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). The FASB also issued various ASUs which subsequently amended ASU 2014-09. These amendments and ASU 2014-09, collectively known as Accounting Standard Codification 606 (“ASC 606”), were adopted on a modified retrospective basis in the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The Company applied the standard to contracts not completed at the date of initial application. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. For contracts that were modified before January 1, 2018 the Company has not retrospectively restated the contracts for those modifications in accordance with the contract modification guidance, instead the Company reflected the aggregate effect of those modifications when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligation. Given the nature of our arrangements, the Company does not believe the use of this practical expedient had a significant impact on the results of our adoption.

 

A  majority of our managed care revenue continues to be recognized over the applicable coverage period on a per member basis for covered members. In addition, a majority of the PBM revenue continues to be recognized as the claims are adjudicated or when the drugs are dispensed. The main impacts of ASC 606 to the Company’s business relate to the timing of revenue recognition in relation to upfront fees in certain PBA contracts, as well as performance incentive, performance guarantee and risk share arrangements. Some of the Company’s PBA contracts contain upfront fees, which under ASC 605 were amortized over the life of the contract. Under ASC 606, these upfront fees constitute a material right and are amortized over the anticipated life of the customer. Certain contracts include performance incentive, performance guarantee and risk share arrangements, which under ASC 605 were recorded based on calculations using the current period’s data. Under ASC 606, the revenues are recognized on a probability weighted approach based on anticipated outcomes for the performance period. In addition, under ASC 606 the accounting for material rights in relation to some of the Company’s government contracts will impact the consolidated balance sheets for interim reporting periods.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016‑02”). This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU, but believes the effect of this ASU will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU amends the accounting on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated results of operation, financial position and cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). The amendments in this ASU eliminate the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates of the Company include, among other things, accounts receivable realization, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, medical claims payable, other medical liabilities, contingent consideration, stock compensation assumptions, tax contingencies and legal liabilities. In addition, the Company makes significant estimates in relation to revenue recognition under ASC 606 which are explained in more detail in “Revenue Recognition” below. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Virtually all of the Company’s revenues are derived from business in North America. The following tables disaggregate our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 by major service line, type of customer and timing of revenue recognition (in thousands):

Per Member Per Month (“PMPM”) Revenue.  Almost all of the Healthcare revenue and a small portion of the Pharmacy Management revenue is paid on a PMPM basis. PMPM revenue is inclusive of revenue from the Company’s risk, EAP and ASO contracts and primarily relates to managed care contracts for services such as the provision of behavioral healthcare, specialty healthcare, pharmacy management, or fully integrated healthcare services. PMPM contracts generally have a term of one year or longer, with the exception of government contracts where the customer can terminate with as little as 30 days’ notice for no significant penalty. All managed care contracts have a single performance obligation that constitutes a series for the provision of managed healthcare services for a population of enrolled members for the duration of the contract. The transaction price for PMPM contracts is entirely variable as it primarily includes per member per month fees associated with unspecified membership that fluctuates throughout the contract. In certain contracts, PMPM fees also include adjustments for things such as performance incentives, performance guarantees and risk shares. The Company generally estimates the transaction price using an expected value methodology and amounts are only included in the net transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved. The majority of the Company’s net PMPM transaction price relates specifically to its efforts to transfer the service for a distinct increment of the series (e.g. day or month) and is recognized as revenue in the month in which members are entitled to service. The remaining transaction price is recognized over the contract period (or portion of the series to which it specifically relates) based upon estimated membership as a measure of progress.

 

Pharmacy Benefit Management Revenue.  The Company’s customers for PBM business, including pharmaceutical dispensing operations, are generally comprised of MCOs, employer groups and health plans. PBM relationships generally have an expected term of one year or longer. A master services arrangement (“MSA”) is executed by the Company and the customer, which outlines the terms and conditions of the PBM services to be provided. When a member in the customer’s organization submits a prescription, a claim is created which is presented for approval. The acceptance of each individual claim creates enforceable rights and obligations for each party and represents a separate contract. For each individual claim, the performance obligations are limited to the processing and adjudication of the claim, or dispensing of the products purchased. Generally, the transaction price for PBM services is explicitly listed in each contract and does not represent variable consideration. The Company recognizes PBM revenue, which consists of a negotiated prescription price (ingredient cost plus dispensing fee), co‑payments and any associated administrative fees, when claims are adjudicated or the drugs are shipped. The Company recognizes PBM revenue on a gross basis (i.e. including drug costs and co‑payments) as it is acting as the principal in the arrangement, controls the underlying service, and is contractually obligated to its clients and network pharmacies, which is a primary indicator of gross reporting. In addition, the Company is solely responsible for the claims adjudication process, negotiating the prescription price for the pharmacy, collection of payments from the client for drugs dispensed by the pharmacy, and managing the total prescription drug relationship with the client’s members. If the Company enters into a contract where it is only an administrator, and does not assume any of the risks previously noted, revenue will be recognized on a net basis. For dispensing, at the time of shipment, the earnings process is complete; the obligation of the Company’s customer to pay for the specialty pharmaceutical drugs is fixed, and, due to the nature of the product, the member may neither return the specialty pharmaceutical drugs nor receive a refund.

Medicare Part D.  The Company is contracted with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (“CMS”) as a Prescription Drug Plan (“PDP”) to provide prescription drug benefits to Medicare beneficiaries. The accounting for Medicare Part D revenue is primarily the same as that for PBM, as previously discussed. However, there is certain variable consideration present only in Medicare Part D arrangements. The Company estimates the annual amount of variable consideration using a most likely amount methodology, which is allocated to each reporting period based upon actual utilization as a percentage of estimated utilization for the year. Amounts estimated throughout the year for interim reporting are substantially resolved and fixed as of December 31st, the end of the plan year.

Pharmacy Benefit Administration Revenue. The Company provides Medicaid pharmacy services to states and other government sponsored programs. PBA contracts are generally multi-year arrangements but include language regarding early termination for convenience without material penalty provisions that results in enforceable rights and obligations on a month-to-month basis. In PBA arrangements, the Company is generally paid a fixed fee per month to provide PBA services. In addition, some PBA contracts contain upfront fees that constitute a material right. For contracts without an upfront fee, there is a single performance obligation to stand ready to provide the PBA services required for the contracted period. The Company believes that the customer receives the PBA benefits each day from access to the claims processing activities, and has concluded that a time based measure is appropriate for recognizing PBA revenue. For contracts with an upfront fee, the material right represents an additional performance obligation. Amounts allocated to the material right are initially recorded as a contract liability and recognized as revenue over the anticipated period of benefit of the material right, which generally ranges from 2 to 10 years.

Formulary Management Revenue.  The Company administers formulary management programs for certain clients through which the Company coordinates the achievement, calculation and collection of rebates and administrative fees from pharmaceutical manufacturers on behalf of clients. Formulary management contracts generally have a term of one year or longer. All formulary management contracts have a single performance obligation that constitutes a series for the provision of rebate services for a drug, with utilization measured and settled on a quarterly basis, for the duration of the arrangement. The Company retains its administrative fee and/or a percentage of rebates that is included in its contract with the client from collecting the rebate from the manufacturer. While the administrative fee and/or the percentage of rebates retained is fixed, there is an unknown quantity of pharmaceutical purchases (utilization) during each quarter, therefore the transaction price itself is variable. The Company uses the expected value methodology to estimate the total rebates earned each quarter based on estimated volumes of pharmaceutical purchases by the Company’s clients during the quarter, as well as historical and/or anticipated retained rebate percentages. The Company does not record as rebate revenue any rebates that are passed through to its clients.

 

In relation to the Company’s PBM business, the Company administers rebate programs through which it receives rebates from pharmaceutical manufacturers that are shared with its customers. The Company recognizes rebates when the Company is entitled to them and when the amounts of the rebates are determinable. The amount recorded for rebates earned by the Company from the pharmaceutical manufacturers is recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold.

Government EAP Risk Based Revenue.  The Company has certain contracts with federal customers for the provision of various managed care services, which are classified as government EAP risk based business. These contracts are generally multi-year arrangements. The Company’s federal contracts are reimbursed on either a fixed fee basis or a cost reimbursement basis. The performance obligation on a fixed fee contract is to stand ready to provide the staffing required for the contracted period. For fixed fee contracts, the Company believes the invoiced amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date, therefore the Company is utilizing the “right to invoice” practical expedient, with revenue recognition in the amount for which the Company has the right to invoice.

The performance obligation on a cost reimbursement contract is to stand ready to provide the activity or services purchased by the customer, such as the operation of a counseling services group or call center. The performance obligation represents a series for the duration of the arrangement. The reimbursement rate is fixed per the contract, however the level of activity (e.g., number of hours, number of counselors or number of units) is variable. A majority of the Company’s cost reimbursement transaction price relates specifically to its efforts to transfer the service for a distinct increment of the series (e.g. day or month) and is recognized as revenue when the portion of the series for which it relates has been provided (i.e. as the Company provides hours, counselors or units of service).

In accordance with ASC 606-10-50-13, the Company is required to include disclosure on its remaining performance obligations as of the end of the current reporting period. Due to the nature of the contracts in the Company’s PBM and Part D business, these reporting requirements are not applicable. The majority of the Company’s remaining contracts meet certain exemptions as defined in ASC 606-10-50-14 through 606-10-50-14A, including (i) performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less; (ii) the right to invoice practical expedient; and (iii) variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations that is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation, and the terms of that variable consideration relate specifically to our efforts to transfer the distinct service, or to a specific outcome from transferring the distinct service. For the Company’s contracts that pertain to these exemptions: (i) the remaining performance obligations primarily relate to the provision of managed healthcare services to the customers’ membership; (ii) the estimated remaining duration of these performance obligations ranges from the remainder of the current calendar year to three years; and (iii) variable consideration for these contracts primarily includes net per member per month fees associated with unspecified membership that fluctuates throughout the contract.

Accounts receivable, which are included in accounts receivable, other current assets and other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets, increased by $185.4 million, mainly due to timing. Contract assets, which are included in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets, increased by $5.8 million, mainly due to the timing of accrual of certain performance incentives. Contract liabilities – current, which are included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, increased by $61.3 million, mainly due to the timing of receipts related to July 2018 revenues and the timing of material rights generated for some of the Company’s government contracts. Contract liabilities – long-term, which are included in deferred credits and other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, increased by $0.3 million, mainly due to receipts for which recognition will be long-term.

 During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized revenue of $59.2 million that was included in current contract liabilities at March 31, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized revenue of $70.5 million that was included in current contract liabilities at January 1, 2018. The estimated timing of recognition of amounts included in contract liabilities at June 30, 2018 are as follows: 2018—$70.9 million; 2019—$6.1 million; 2020—$2.6 million; 2021 and beyond—$8.6 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the revenue the Company recognized related to performance obligations that were satisfied, or partially satisfied, in previous periods was not material.

The Company’s accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers throughout the United States. Collateral is generally not required. A majority of the Company’s contracts have payment terms in the month of service, or within a few months thereafter. The timing of payments from customers from time to time generate contract assets or contract liabilities, however these amounts are immaterial.

Significant Customers

Customers exceeding ten percent of the consolidated Company’s net revenues

The Company has a contract with the State of Florida to provide integrated healthcare services to Medicaid enrollees in the state of Florida (the “Florida Contract”). The Florida Contract began on February 4, 2014 and extends through December 31, 2018, unless sooner terminated by the parties. The State of Florida has the right to terminate the Florida Contract with cause, as defined, upon 24 hour notice and upon 30 days notice for any reason or no reason at all. The Florida Contract generated net revenues of $300.1 million and $307.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

On July 14, 2017, the State of Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate for a new contract for its Medicaid managed care program to replace the current contract with the Company and to be effective January 1, 2019. On April 24, 2018 the Company was notified by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (“AHCA”) that the Company was not selected to negotiate a new contract to serve as a vendor for its Medicaid managed care program. The Company filed a protest with AHCA.

Customers exceeding ten percent of segment net revenues

In addition to the Florida Contract, previously discussed, the following customers generated in excess of ten percent of net revenues for the respective segment for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 (in thousands):

Concentration of Business

The Company also has a significant concentration of business with various counties in the State of Pennsylvania (the “Pennsylvania Counties”) which are part of the Pennsylvania Medicaid program, with members under its contract with CMS and with various agencies and departments of the United States federal government. Net revenues from the Pennsylvania Counties in the aggregate totaled $232.4 million and $275.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Net revenues from members in relation to its contracts with CMS in aggregate totaled $236.1 million and $205.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, the Company had $131.5 million and $119.8 million, respectively, in net receivables associated with Medicare Part D from CMS and other parties related to this business. Net revenues from contracts with various agencies and departments of the United States federal government in aggregate totaled $177.5 million and $165.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

The Company’s contracts with customers typically have stated terms of one to three years, and in certain cases contain renewal provisions (at the customer’s option) for successive terms of between one and two years (unless terminated earlier). Substantially all of these contracts may be immediately terminated with cause and many of the Company’s contracts are terminable without cause by the customer or the Company either upon the giving of requisite notice and the passage of a specified period of time (typically between 30 and 180 days) or upon the occurrence of other specified events. In addition, the Company’s contracts with federal, state and local governmental agencies generally are conditioned on legislative appropriations. These contracts generally can be terminated or modified by the customer if such appropriations are not made.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company has certain assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These assets and liabilities are to be measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy, which are as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including the Company’s data.

In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 (in thousands):

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company has not transferred any assets between fair value measurement levels.

The carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and revolving loan borrowings, approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of the Notes (as defined below) of $389.2 million as of June 30, 2018 was determined based on quoted market prices and would be classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the Company’s term loan of $336.9 million as of June 30, 2018 was based on current interest rates for similar types of borrowings and is in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could be realized as of the balance sheet date or that will be realized in the future.

All of the Company’s investments are classified as “available-for-sale” and are carried at fair value.

As of the balance sheet date, the fair value of contingent consideration is determined based on probabilities of payment, projected payment dates, discount rates, projected operating income, member engagement and new contract execution. The Company used a probability weighted discounted cash flow method to arrive at the fair value of the contingent consideration. As the fair value measurement for the contingent consideration is based on inputs not observed in the market, these measurements are classified as Level 3 measurements as defined by fair value measurement guidance. The unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement include the discount rate, probabilities of payment and projected payment dates.

As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, the Company estimated undiscounted future contingent payments of $9.9 million and $9.8 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, the aggregate amounts and projected dates of future potential contingent consideration payments were $7.2 million in 2018 and $2.6 million in 2020.

As of December 31, 2017, the fair value of the short-term and long-term contingent consideration was $6.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and is included in short-term contingent consideration and long-term contingent consideration, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of the short-term and long-term contingent consideration was $7.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and is included in short-term contingent consideration and long-term contingent consideration, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.

The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration was $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, which were recorded as direct service costs and other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income. The increases during 2018 were mainly a result of changes in present value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid interest-bearing investments with maturity dates of three months or less when purchased, consisting primarily of money market instruments. At June 30, 2018, the Company’s excess capital and undistributed earnings for the Company’s regulated subsidiaries of $115.8 million are included in cash and cash equivalents.

Investments

If a debt security is in an unrealized loss position and the Company has the intent to sell the debt security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will have to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the decline in value is deemed to be other‑than‑temporary and is recorded to other‑than‑temporary impairment losses recognized in income in the consolidated statements of income. For impaired debt securities that the Company does not intend to sell or it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell such securities, but the Company expects that it will not fully recover the amortized cost basis, the credit component of the other‑than‑temporary impairment is recognized in other‑than‑temporary impairment losses recognized in income in the consolidated statements of income and the non‑credit component of the other‑than‑temporary impairment is recognized in other comprehensive income.

As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, there were no material unrealized losses that the Company determined to be other‑than‑temporary. No realized gains or losses were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2018.  The following is a summary of short‑term and long‑term investments at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 (in thousands):

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rates were 43.8 percent and 16.0 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, permanent differences between book and tax income, and changes to recorded tax contingencies and valuation allowances. The Company also accrues interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in its provision for income taxes. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 is lower than the effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to the reduction of the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent and more significant tax deductions in 2018 in excess of recognized stock compensation expense. The 2018 decreases attributable to the statutory rate reduction and stock compensation expense outweighed the rate increase related to the non-deductible health insurer fee that was reinstated in 2018.  

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its eighty-percent or more controlled subsidiaries. The Company previously filed separate consolidated federal income tax returns for AlphaCare of New York, Inc. (“AlphaCare”) and its parent, AlphaCare Holdings, Inc. (“AlphaCare Holdings”). During 2017, AlphaCare and AlphaCare Holdings became members of the Magellan federal consolidated group. The Company and its subsidiaries also file income tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state or local income tax assessments for years ended prior to 2014.

During 2018, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) began examinations of the following federal consolidated income tax returns: (i) the Company for the year ended December 31, 2015, (ii) SWH Holdings, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2016, and (iii) AlphaCare Holdings for the year ended December 31, 2016. Although the IRS has made no tax assessments on any of these returns, the examinations could lead to proposed adjustments to the reported tax liabilities. Under the terms of the SWH Holdings, Inc. Agreement and Plan of Merger, the previous owners of SWH Holdings, Inc. provided the Company with an indemnification with respect to any such pre-acquisition period tax liabilities.  

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted in 2017 and included a number of changes impacting the Company, most notably a reduction of the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent that was effective January 1, 2018. The legislation also provided for the acceleration of depreciation on certain assets placed in service after September 27, 2017, as well as prospective changes which began in 2018, including additional limitations on the deduction of executive compensation.

Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 allows registrants to include reasonable estimates as provisional amounts and provides a measurement period by which the accounting must be completed. The measurement period ends when a registrant has obtained, prepared, and analyzed the information that was needed in order to complete the accounting requirements under ASC Topic 740 but under no circumstances is the measurement period to extend beyond one year from the enactment date (i.e. December 22, 2018).

The Company did not identify any items for which a reasonable estimate of the income tax effects of the Tax Act could not be determined as of December 31, 2017. The Company included the provisional tax impacts related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. No changes were made to those provisional balances in the current year. The Company will continue to analyze the Tax Act and additional technical and interpretive guidance on the Tax Act from the government and will complete its accounting no later than December 22, 2018.

The ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Act. Additionally, any changes to the tax basis for temporary differences between the estimates in these statements and the 2017 federal return when filed by the Company will result in a corresponding adjustment to the remeasurement of deferred taxes as of the enactment date of the Tax Act. Any such adjustments will be recorded to tax expense in the quarter of 2018 when the analysis is complete.

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

The Company has $38.8 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) available to reduce consolidated taxable income in 2018 and subsequent years. These NOLs (including $37.6 million incurred by AlphaCare prior to its membership in the Magellan consolidated group) will expire in 2018 through 2036 if not used and are subject to examination and adjustment by the IRS. In addition, the Company’s utilization of these NOLs is subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code as to the timing and use. At this time, the Company does not believe these limitations will restrict the Company’s ability to use any federal NOLs before they expire. The Company and its subsidiaries also have $93.7 million of NOLs available to reduce state and local taxable income at certain subsidiaries in 2018 and subsequent years. These NOLs will expire in 2018 through 2037 if not used and are subject to examination and adjustment by the respective tax authorities. In addition, the Company’s utilization of certain of these NOLs is subject to limitations as to the timing and use. At this time, other than those considered in determining the valuation allowances discussed below, the Company does not believe these limitations will restrict the Company’s ability to use any of these state and local NOLs before they expire.

Deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 are shown net of valuation allowances of $2.4 million. These valuation allowances mostly relate to uncertainties regarding the eventual realization of certain state NOLs.

Reversals of valuation allowances are recorded in the period they occur, typically as reductions to income tax expense. Determination of the amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable requires significant judgment and estimation regarding the forecasts of future taxable income which are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company uses to manage the underlying businesses. Although consideration is also given to potential tax planning strategies which might be available to improve the realization of deferred tax assets, none were identified which were both prudent and reasonable. The Company believes taxable income expected to be generated in the future will be sufficient to support realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets, as reduced by valuation allowances. This determination is based upon earnings history and future earnings expectations.

Health Care Reform

The Patient Protection and the Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Reform Law”), imposes a mandatory annual fee on health insurers for each calendar year beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The Company has obtained rate adjustments from customers which the Company expects will cover the direct costs of these fees and the impact from non‑deductibility of such fees for federal and state income tax purposes. To the extent the Company has such a customer that does not renew, there may be some impact due to taxes paid where the timing and amount of recoupment of these additional costs is uncertain. In the event the Company is unable to obtain rate adjustments to cover the financial impact of the annual fee, the fee may have a material impact on the Company. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 imposed a one-year moratorium on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act health insurer fee (“HIF”), suspending its application for 2017. The HIF fee went back into effect for 2018, however, on January 23, 2018 the United States Congress passed the Continuing Resolution which imposed another one-year moratorium on the HIF fee, suspending its application for 2019. For 2018 the HIF fee is expected to be $29.9 million which is included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Stock Compensation

At December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, the Company had equity‑based employee incentive plans, which are described more fully in Note 6 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $11.4 million and  $21.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $10.4 million and $18.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Stock compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 has been reduced for forfeitures, estimated at between zero and four percent for all periods.

The weighted average grant date fair value of all stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $25.67 as estimated using the Black‑Scholes‑Merton option pricing model, which also assumed an expected volatility of 28.21 percent based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, the benefit of tax deductions in excess of recognized stock compensation expense (net of deficiencies) was $1.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively, which were reported as a reduction to income tax expense.

The weighted average estimated fair value of the PSUs granted in the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $141.61, which was derived from a Monte Carlo simulation. Significant assumptions utilized in estimating the value of the awards granted include an expected dividend yield of 0%, a risk free rate of 2.37%, and expected volatility of 20% to 82% (average of 35%). The PSUs granted in the six months ended June 30, 2018, will entitle the grantee to receive a number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined over a three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2020 and vesting on March 5, 2021, the settlement date, provided the grantee remains in the service of the Company on the settlement date. The Company expenses the cost of these awards ratably over the requisite service period. The number of shares for which the PSUs will be settled is calculated as a percentage of the award target and will depend on the Company’s total shareholder return (as defined below), expressed as a percentile ranking of the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the Company’s peer group (as defined below). The number of shares for which the PSUs will be settled varies from zero to 200 percent of the shares specified in the grant. Total shareholder return is determined by dividing the average share value of the Company’s common stock over the 30 trading days preceding January 1, 2021 by the average share value of the Company’s common stock over the 30 trading days beginning on January 1, 2018, with a deemed reinvestment of any dividends declared during the performance period. The Company’s peer group includes 49 companies which comprise the S&P Health Care Services Industry Index, which was selected by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors and includes a range of healthcare companies operating in several business segments.

Long Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations

Senior Notes

On September 22, 2017, the Company completed the public offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.400% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”). The Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of September 22, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, dated as of September 22, 2017 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” together, with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes were issued at a discount and had a carrying value of $399.3 million as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018.

The Notes bear interest payable semiannually in cash in arrears on March 22 and September 22 of each year, commencing on March 22, 2018, which rate is subject to an interest rate adjustment upon the occurrence of certain credit rating events. The Notes mature on September 22, 2024. The Indenture provides that the Notes are redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after July 22, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The Indenture also contains certain covenants which restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, create liens on its and its subsidiaries’ assets; engage in sale and lease-back transactions; and engage in a consolidation, merger or sale of assets.

Credit Agreement

On September 22, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement with various lenders that provides for a $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and a $350.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility to the Company, as the borrower (the “2017 Credit Agreement”). The 2017 Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on September 22, 2022.

Under the 2017 Credit Agreement, the annual interest rate on the loan borrowing is equal to (i) in the case of base rate loans, the sum of an initial borrowing margin of 0.500 percent plus the higher of the prime rate, one-half of one percent in excess of the overnight “federal funds” rate, or the Eurodollar rate for one month plus 1.000 percent, or (ii) in the case of Eurodollar rate loans, the sum of an initial borrowing margin of 1.500 percent plus the Eurodollar rate for the selected interest period. The borrowing margin is subject to adjustment based on the Company’s debt rating as provided by certain rating agencies. The Company has the option to borrow in base rate loans or Eurodollar rate loans at its discretion. The commitment commission on the revolving credit facility under the 2017 Credit Agreement is 0.200 percent of the unused revolving credit commitment, which rate shall be subject to adjustment based on the Company’s debt rating as provided by certain rating agencies. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the weighted average interest rate was approximately 3.392 percent.

As of June 30, 2018, the contractual maturities of the term loan under the 2017 Credit Agreement were as follows: 2018—$8.8 million; 2019—$17.5 million; 2020—$17.5 million; 2021—$17.5 million; and 2022—$275.6 million. Due to the timing of working capital needs, the Company will periodically borrow from the revolving loan under the 2017 Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, the Company had revolving loan borrowings of $92.5 million and $70.0 million, respectively. The Company had $17.6 million of letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2018 under the 2017 Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2018, the Company had a borrowing capacity of $312.4 million under the 2017 Credit Agreement. Included in long-term debt and capital lease obligations are deferred loan and bond issuance costs as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 of $6.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

Letter of Credit Agreement

On August 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Continuing Agreement for Standby Letters of Credit with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (“BTMU”), as issuer (the “L/C Agreement”), under which BTMU, at its sole discretion, may provide stand-by letter of credit to the Company. The Company had letters of credit outstanding under the L/C Agreement as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 of $26.5 million and $48.5 million, respectively.

Capital Lease Obligations

There were $22.9 million and $24.9 million of capital lease obligations at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The Company’s capital lease obligations represent amounts due under leases for certain properties, computer software (acquired prior to the prospective adoption of ASU 2015-05 on January 1, 2016) and equipment.
