Quarter Highlights

As of June 30, 2025, the Company served approximately 5.7 million members, an increase of 167,000 members compared to June 30, 2024.
Premium revenue was approximately $10.9 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 15% year over year.
GAAP net income was $4.75 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 8% year over year.
Adjusted net income was $5.48 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 6% year over year.
The Company now expects its full year 2025 adjusted earnings to be no less than $19.00 per diluted share and reaffirms its premium revenue guidance of approximately $42 billion.
New store embedded earnings remain at $8.65 per diluted share.

"Our second quarter results and revised full year outlook reflect a challenging medical cost trend environment," said Joseph Zubretsky, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The current earnings pressure we are experiencing results from what we believe to be a temporary dislocation between premium rates and medical cost trend which has recently accelerated. We are still performing near our long-term target ranges, and nothing has changed our outlook for the long-term performance of the business."

Premium Revenue

Premium revenue was approximately $10.9 billion for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 15% year over year. The higher premium revenue reflects new contract wins, acquisitions, growth in the Company’s current footprint, and rate increases, partially offset by the impact of Medicaid redetermination in 2024.

Net Income

GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $4.75 per diluted share, a decrease of 8% year over year. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $5.48 per diluted share, a decrease of 6% year over year.

Medical Care Ratio (MCR)

The consolidated MCR for the second quarter of 2025 was 90.4%.
The Medicaid MCR for the second quarter of 2025 was 91.3%. The Company experienced medical cost pressure due to continued utilization of behavioral health, pharmacy, and inpatient and outpatient services. These medical costs were partially offset by the rate updates that went into effect in the first and second quarters.
The Medicare MCR for the second quarter of 2025 was 90.0% and reflects higher utilization among high-acuity members, particularly for long-term services and supports and pharmacy.
The Marketplace MCR for the second quarter of 2025 was 85.4%. Within that result, approximately 300 basis points was due to prior year member reconciliations and a higher "new store" MCR related to the ConnectiCare acquisition. Excluding these items, the Marketplace MCR was approximately 82.4% and above expectations due to higher utilization relative to risk adjustment.

General and Administrative Expense Ratio

The G&A ratio and the adjusted G&A ratio for the second quarter of 2025 were 6.2% and 6.1%, respectively, reflecting the benefit of one-time items and continued operating discipline.

Balance Sheet

Cash and investments at the parent company were approximately $100 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $445 million as of December 31, 2024.

Days in claims payable at June 30, 2025, was 43 and primarily reflects faster claims processing and adjudication, as well as higher volumes of pass-through payments and several provider claim settlements.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was an outflow of $112 million, compared to an outflow of $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in cash flow for the period year-over-year was driven mainly by the net impact of timing differences in government receivables and payables and risk corridor settlement activity.

2025 Guidance

Premium revenue guidance for the full year is unchanged and expected to be approximately $42 billion, an increase of approximately 9% from the full year 2024.

The Company now expects its full year 2025 GAAP earnings to be no less than $16.90 per diluted share and its full year 2025 adjusted earnings to be no less than $19.00 per diluted share. The updated guidance, which is disproportionately attributed to Marketplace, reflects new information gained in the quarterly closing process and implications for medical cost trend assumptions for the second half of the year.

Guidance metrics are summarized below:

	Full Year 2025 Guidance
	Premium Revenue	$42.0B
	Total Revenue	$44.0B
	GAAP Net Income	$912M
	Adjusted Net Income	$1,028M
	GAAP EPS – Diluted	≥ $16.90
	Adjusted EPS – Diluted	≥ $19.00
	Diluted weighted average shares	54.1M

	MCR	90.2%
	Medicaid	90.9%
	Medicare	90.0%
	Marketplace	85.1%

	GAAP G&A Ratio	6.7%
	Adjusted G&A Ratio	6.6%

CHANGE IN MEDICAL CLAIMS AND BENEFITS PAYABLE
(Dollars in millions)

The Company’s claims liabilities include additional reserves to account for moderately adverse conditions based on historical experience and other factors including, but not limited to, variations in claims payment patterns, changes in utilization and cost trends, known outbreaks of disease, and large claims. The Company’s reserving methodology is consistently applied across all periods presented. The amounts displayed for "Components of medical care costs related to: Prior year" represent the amounts by which the original estimates of claims and benefits payable at the beginning of the year were more than the actual liabilities based on information (principally the payment of claims) developed since those liabilities were first reported. The following table presents the components of the change in medical claims and benefits payable for the periods indicated:

MOLINA HEALTHCARE, INC.
RECONCILIATION OF UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(In millions, except per diluted share amounts)

The Company believes that certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures are useful supplemental measures to investors in comparing the Company’s performance to the performance of other public companies in the health care industry. The non-GAAP financial measures are also used internally to enable management to assess the Company’s performance consistently over time. These non-GAAP financial measures, presented below, should be considered as supplements to, and not as substitutes for or superior to, GAAP measures.

Adjustments represent additions and deductions to GAAP net income as indicated in the table below, which include the non-cash impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, and the impact of certain expenses and other items that management believes are not indicative of longer-term business trends and operations.

Adjusted G&A Ratio represents the GAAP G&A ratio, recognizing adjustments.

Adjusted net income represents GAAP net income recognizing the adjustments, net of tax. The Company believes that adjusted net income is helpful to investors in assessing the Company’s financial performance.

Adjusted net income per diluted share represents adjusted net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

Adjusted after-tax margin represents adjusted net income, divided by total revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company includes in this release the financial measure, "new store embedded earnings," which is a non-GAAP measure. The term is defined as the incremental diluted earnings per share impact that we expect to achieve between 2026 and 2028 related to newly awarded but not yet commenced state Medicaid contracts, and recently closed and announced acquisitions. The incremental impact reflects the expected full-year earnings for the newly-awarded California, Iowa, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, and Georgia Medicaid contracts, the newly-awarded Idaho, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Ohio Medicare Duals contracts, and the California Medicare Health Plans and ConnectiCare acquisitions, not yet included in the 2025 full-year guidance issued by the Company. This measure excludes amortization of intangible assets and non-recurring costs associated with acquisitions, including various transaction and integration costs. The Company and management believe this measure is useful to investors in assessing the Company’s expected performance related to new contracts and acquisitions, and is used internally to enable management to assess the Company’s performance consistently over time. New store embedded earnings should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, GAAP measures. Management is unable to reconcile this measure to the growth in GAAP earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort due to the unknown impact from the amortization of intangible assets related to recently announced acquisitions, which cannot be determined until purchase accounting valuations are completed. Non-recurring costs associated with the recently announced acquisitions are estimated at approximately $42 million.
