NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

June 30, 2015

1. Basis of Presentation

Organization and Operations

Molina Healthcare, Inc. provides quality health care to those receiving government assistance. We offer cost-effective Medicaid-related solutions to meet the health care needs of low-income families and individuals, and to assist government agencies in their administration of the Medicaid program. We report our financial performance based on two reportable segments: the Health Plans segment and the Molina Medicaid Solutions segment.

Our Health Plans segment consists of health plans in 11 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and includes our direct delivery business. As of June 30, 2015, these health plans served 3.4 million members eligible for Medicaid, Medicare, and other government-sponsored health care programs for low-income families and individuals. Additionally, we serve Health Insurance Marketplace (Marketplace) members, many of whom are eligible for government premium subsidies. The health plans are operated by our respective wholly owned subsidiaries in those states, each of which is licensed as a health maintenance organization (HMO). Our direct delivery business consists primarily of the operation of primary care clinics in several states in which we operate, as well as the management of a hospital in southern California under a management services agreement.

Our Molina Medicaid Solutions segment provides business processing and information technology development and administrative services to Medicaid agencies in Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, New Jersey, West Virginia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and drug rebate administration services in Florida.

Market Updates - Health Plans Segment

Florida. On July 14, 2015, we announced that our Florida health plan entered into an agreement with Preferred Medical Plan, Inc. Under this agreement, we will assume Preferred's Medicaid contract in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties, as well as acquire certain assets related to the operation of its Medicaid business. Preferred currently serves approximately 25,000 Medicaid members. Subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, we expect the transaction to close during the third quarter of 2015.

As of June 30, 2015, our Florida health plan served 176,000 Marketplace members, more than double its total membership as of December 31, 2014.

Illinois. On July 15, 2015, we announced that our Illinois health plan entered into an agreement with Accountable Care Chicago, LLC, also known as MyCare Chicago. Under this agreement, we will receive the right to assume MyCare Chicago's Medicaid members in Cook County, as well as acquire certain assets related to the operation of the Medicaid business. MyCare Chicago currently serves approximately 61,000 Medicaid members. Subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, we expect the transaction to close during the fourth quarter of 2015.

Michigan. On May 15, 2015, we announced that our Michigan health plan entered into an agreement with HealthPlus of Michigan and its subsidiary, HealthPlus Partners, Inc. (collectively, HealthPlus). Under this agreement, we will assume HealthPlus Partners' Medicaid contract and HealthPlus of Michigan's MIChild contract, as well as certain provider agreements. HealthPlus currently serves approximately 90,000 Medicaid and 6,000 MIChild members. Subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, we expect the transaction to close during the third quarter of 2015.

Puerto Rico. Effective April 1, 2015, our Puerto Rico health plan served its first members. As of June 30, 2015, our Puerto Rico plan enrollment amounted to approximately 361,000 members.

Market Updates - Molina Medicaid Solutions Segment

New Jersey. On April 9, 2015, the state of New Jersey announced its selection of Molina Medicaid Solutions to design and operate its new Medicaid management information system (MMIS). The new contract is effective May 1, 2015, and has a term of 10 years with three one-year renewal options. Molina Medicaid Solutions was the state's previous MMIS provider, and was awarded the new contract as a result of Molina Medicaid Solutions' submission in response to the state of New Jersey's request for proposals.

Consolidation and Interim Financial Information

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Molina Healthcare, Inc., its subsidiaries, and variable interest entities in which Molina Healthcare, Inc. is considered to be the primary beneficiary. Such variable interest entities are

Table of Contents

insignificant to our consolidated financial position and results of operations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results as of the date and for the interim periods presented have been included; such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated results of operations for the current interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2015.

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that users of the interim financial data have either read or have access to our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Accordingly, certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the December 31, 2014 audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted. These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our December 31, 2014 audited consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain amounts in the 2014 statement of cash flows to conform to the 2015 presentation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Premium Revenue – Health Plans Segment

Premium revenue is fixed in advance of the periods covered and, except as described below, is not generally subject to significant accounting estimates. Premium revenues are recognized in the month that members are entitled to receive health care services, and premiums collected in advance are deferred.

Certain components of premium revenue are subject to accounting estimates as follows:

Contractual Provisions That May Adjust or Limit Revenue or Profit

Health Plan Medical Cost Floors (Minimums), Medical Cost Corridors, and Administrative Cost Ceilings (Maximums): A portion of certain Medicaid, Medicare, and Marketplace premiums received by our health plans may be returned if certain minimum amounts are not spent on defined medical care costs. In the aggregate, we recorded a liability under the terms of such contract provisions of $516.8 million and $392.4 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, to amounts due government agencies. Approximately $458.1 million of the liability accrued at June 30, 2015 relates to our participation in Medicaid expansion programs.

In general, such amounts are subject to future changes in estimate based upon our actual cost performance and interpretations of allowable medical costs and revenue. At our Washington health plan (where we had recorded a liability of approximately $271.1 million related to the Medicaid expansion medical cost floor at June 30, 2015), premium revenue may be retroactively adjusted across the entire state Medicaid expansion program based upon the medical cost performance of the program as a whole. As such, our liability under Washington’s contractual provisions is determined not just by our own medical cost performance, but by that of all health plans participating in the program; and we have limited visibility into the costs of those health plans.

In certain circumstances, the health plans may receive additional premiums if amounts spent on medical care costs exceed a defined maximum threshold; we had no receivables recorded at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014 that were related to such provisions.

Health Plan Profit Sharing and Profit Ceiling: Our contracts with certain states contain profit-sharing or profit ceiling provisions under which we refund amounts to the states if our health plans generate profit above a certain specified percentage, in some cases in accordance with a tiered rebate schedule. In some cases, we are limited in the amount of administrative costs that we may deduct in calculating the refund, if any. As a result of profits in excess of the amount we are allowed to retain, we recorded a liability of $5.4 million and $0.5 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Medicare Revenue Risk Adjustment: Based on member encounter data that we submit to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), our Medicare premiums are subject to retroactive adjustment for both member risk scores and member pharmacy cost experience for up to two years after the original year of service. This adjustment takes into account the acuity of each member’s medical needs relative to what was anticipated when premiums were originally set for that member. In the event that a member requires less acute medical care than was anticipated by the original premium amount, CMS will recover premium from us. In the event that a member requires more acute medical care than was anticipated by the original premium amount, CMS will pay us additional retroactive premium. A similar retroactive reconciliation is undertaken by CMS for our Medicare members’ pharmacy utilization. We estimate the amount of Medicare revenue that will ultimately be realized for the

Table of Contents

periods presented based on our knowledge of our members’ health care utilization patterns and CMS practices. Based on our knowledge of member health care utilization patterns and expenses, we have recorded a net receivable of $30.8 million and $7.6 million for anticipated Medicare risk adjustment premiums at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Quality Incentives

At our California, Illinois, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin health plans, revenue ranging from approximately 1% to 4% of certain health plan premiums is not earned unless specified performance measures are met.

The following table quantifies the quality incentive premium revenue recognized for the periods presented, including the amounts earned in the period presented and prior periods. Although the reasonably possible effects of a change in estimate related to quality incentive premium revenue as of June 30, 2015 are not known, we have no reason to believe that the adjustments to prior years noted below are not indicative of the potential future changes in our estimates as of June 30, 2015.

Total	$	22,313	$	16,299	$	32,247	21,218

Total premium revenue recognized for state health plans with quality incentive premiums	$	2,525,571	$	1,708,808	$	4,878,806	$	3,187,069

California Health Plan Rate Settlement Agreement

In 2013, our California health plan entered into a settlement agreement with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). The agreement settled rate disputes initiated by our California health plan dating back to 2003 with respect to its participation in Medi-Cal (California’s Medicaid program). Under the terms of the agreement, DHCS may be required to make a payment to us if the California health plan's pre-tax margin falls below certain levels. The maximum amount that DHCS would pay to us under the terms of the settlement agreement is $40.0 million; no amounts receivable were recorded related to this agreement at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014. The agreement expires effective December 31, 2017.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is generally greater than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily because of state taxes, nondeductible expenses under the Affordable Care Act Health Insurer Fee (HIF), nondeductible compensation and other general and administrative expenses. The effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuations during the year, particularly as a result of the level of pretax earnings, and also as new information is obtained. Such information may affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as the mix of pretax earnings in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition or the reversal of the recognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where we conduct business. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities, along with net operating loss and tax credit carryovers.

New Accounting Standards

Revenue Recognition. On July 9, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for all entities by one year. As a result, public business entities will apply the new revenue standard to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We continue to evaluate whether to elect the full or modified retrospective adoption method, and the potential effects to our financial statements.

Table of Contents

Short-Duration Contracts. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-09, Disclosures about Short-Duration Contracts, which will require additional disclosure on the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses. Effective for us in the first quarter of 2016, ASU 2015-09 is applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted; we are evaluating the potential effects of the adoption to our financial statements.

Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which will require debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of such debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Effective for us in the first quarter of 2016, ASU 2015-03 is applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted; we are evaluating the potential effects of the adoption to our financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) did not have, or are not believed by management to have, a material impact on our present or future consolidated financial statements.

(1)	For more information regarding the convertible senior notes, refer to Note 11, "Debt." For more information regarding the 1.125% Warrants, refer to Note 12, "Derivatives."

(2)

The dilutive effect of all potentially dilutive common shares is calculated using the treasury-stock method. Certain potentially dilutive common shares issuable are not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the 1.125% Warrants were excluded from diluted shares outstanding because the exercise price exceeded the average market price of our common stock.

4. Business Combinations

Health Plans Segment

Florida. In December 2014, our Florida health plan acquired certain assets relating to the Medicaid business of First Coast Advantage, LLC (FCA). As part of the transaction, we assumed FCA's Medicaid contract and certain provider agreements for Region 4 of the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Managed Medical Assistance Program in the state of Florida. The Florida health plan's membership increased by approximately 62,000 members as a result of this transaction. The final purchase price for this acquisition amounted to $44.6 million, of which $36.6 million was paid in December 2014, and $8.0 million was paid in the first quarter of 2015.

5. Share-Based Compensation

As of June 30, 2015, there are approximately 475,000 unvested restricted shares awarded to our named executive officers, with market and performance conditions, outstanding. In the event the vesting conditions are not achieved, the awards will lapse. Based on our assessment as of June 30, 2015, we expect the performance conditions relating to approximately 297,000 of such restricted share awards to be met in full. For the remaining 178,000 unvested restricted share awards, we reversed share-based compensation expense recognized from inception through March 31, 2015, or approximately $2.6 million, in the second quarter of 2015.

Charged to general and administrative expenses, total share-based compensation expense was as follows:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
	(In thousands)
Restricted stock and performance awards	$	2,654	$	4,214	$	7,255	$	8,822
Employee stock purchase plan and stock options	912		646		1,986		1,634
	$	3,566	$	4,860	$	9,241	$	10,456

As of June 30, 2015, there was $34.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards, including those with performance conditions, which we expect to recognize over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

Restricted and performance stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is summarized below:



	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance as of December 31, 2014	1,282,072		$	33.55
Granted	412,994		64.01
Vested	(386,634	)	32.77
Forfeited	(46,634	)	37.61
Unvested balance as of June 30, 2015	1,261,798		43.61

The total fair value of restricted and performance awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $26.8 million and $23.5 million, respectively. The total fair value of restricted awards, including those with performance and market conditions, which vested during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $24.4 million and $21.5 million, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements

We consider the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and other current assets and current liabilities (not including derivatives) to approximate their fair values because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization or payment. For our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value according to a three-tier fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1 — Observable Inputs

Level 1 financial instruments are actively traded and therefore the fair value for these securities is based on quoted market prices on one or more securities exchanges.

Level 2 — Directly or Indirectly Observable Inputs

Level 2 financial instruments are traded frequently though not necessarily daily. Fair value for these investments is determined using a market approach based on quoted prices for similar securities in active markets or quoted prices for identical securities in inactive markets.

Level 3 — Unobservable Inputs

Level 3 financial instruments are valued using unobservable inputs that represent management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement date. Our Level 3 financial instruments include the following:

Table of Contents

Derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments include the 1.125% Call Option derivative asset and the 1.125% Conversion Option derivative liability. These derivatives are not actively traded and are valued based on an option pricing model that uses observable and unobservable market data for inputs. Significant market data inputs used to determine fair value as of June 30, 2015 included the price of our common stock, time to maturity of the derivative instruments, the risk-free interest rate, and the implied volatility of our common stock. As described further in Note 12, “Derivatives,” the 1.125% Call Option asset and the 1.125% Conversion Option liability were designed such that changes in their fair values would offset, with minimal impact to the consolidated statements of income. Therefore, the sensitivity of changes in the unobservable inputs to the option pricing model for such instruments is mitigated.

Contingent consideration liability. The contingent consideration liability represents the remaining liability associated with the Medicare-Medicaid Plan (MMP) component of our South Carolina health plan acquisition in 2013, and is recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We applied a cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of this liability. The significant unobservable input is the purchase price estimate for the projected membership.

Auction rate securities. Auction rate securities are designated as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value in other assets. To estimate the fair value of these securities, we use valuation data from our primary pricing source, a third party who provides a marketplace for illiquid assets with over 10,000 participants. This valuation data is based on a range of prices that represent indicative bids from potential buyers. To validate the reasonableness of the data, we compare these valuations to data from other third-party pricing sources, which also provide a range of prices representing indicative bids from potential buyers. We have concluded that these estimates, given the lack of market available pricing, provide a reasonable basis for determining the fair value of the auction rate securities as of June 30, 2015.

Gross realized gains and losses from sales of available-for-sale securities are calculated under the specific identification method and are included in investment income. Gross realized investment gains and losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were insignificant.

We have determined that unrealized gains and losses on our investments at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, are temporary in nature, because the change in market value for these securities has resulted from fluctuating interest rates, rather than a deterioration of the credit worthiness of the issuers. So long as we hold these securities to maturity, we are unlikely to experience gains or losses. In the event that we dispose of these securities before maturity, we expect that realized gains or losses, if any, will be immaterial.

____________________


(1)	The benefit from prior period development of medical claims and benefits payable for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included approximately $22 million relating to programs that contain medical cost floor or corridor provisions. Accordingly, premium revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was reduced by the same amount.

That portion of our total medical claims and benefits payable liability that is most subject to variability in the estimate is fee-for-service claims incurred but not paid (IBNP). IBNP represents our best estimate of the total amount of claims we will ultimately pay with respect to claims that we have incurred as of the balance sheet date. We estimate our IBNP monthly using actuarial methods based on a number of factors.

Assuming that our initial estimate of IBNP is accurate, we believe that amounts ultimately paid out would generally be between 8% and 10% less than the IBNP liability recorded at the end of the period as a result of the inclusion in that liability of the provision for adverse claims deviation and the accrued cost of settling those claims. Because the amount of our initial liability is merely an estimate (and therefore not perfectly accurate), we will always experience variability in that estimate as new information becomes available with the passage of time. Therefore, there can be no assurance that amounts ultimately paid out will fall within the range of 8% to 10% lower than the liability that was initially recorded. Furthermore, because our initial estimate of IBNP is derived from many factors, some of which are qualitative in nature rather than quantitative, we are seldom able to assign specific values to the reasons for a change in estimate – we only know when the circumstances for any one or more factors are out of the ordinary.

The use of a consistent methodology in estimating our liability for medical claims and benefits payable minimizes the degree to which the under– or overestimation of that liability at the close of one period may affect consolidated results of operations in subsequent periods. In particular, the use of a consistent methodology should result in the replenishment of reserves during any given period in a manner that generally offsets the benefit of favorable prior period development in that period. Facts and circumstances unique to the estimation process at any single date, however, may still lead to a material impact on consolidated results of operations in subsequent periods. Any absence of adverse claims development (as well as the expensing through general and administrative expense of the costs to settle claims held at the start of the period) will lead to the recognition of a benefit from prior period claims development in the period subsequent to the date of the original estimate.

As indicated above, the amounts ultimately paid out on our medical claims and benefits payable liabilities in fiscal years 2015 and 2014 were less than what we had expected when we had established those liabilities. The differences between our original estimates and the amounts ultimately paid out (or now expected to be ultimately paid out) for the most part related to IBNP. While many related factors working in conjunction with one another determine the accuracy of our estimates, we are seldom able to quantify the impact that any single factor has on a change in estimate. In addition, given the variability inherent in the reserving process, we will only be able to identify specific factors if they represent a significant departure from expectations. As a result, we do not expect to be able to fully quantify the impact of individual factors on changes in estimates.

We believe that the most significant factors that will determine the accuracy of our IBNP estimates at June 30, 2015 are as follows:


•	At our Florida health plan, Marketplace enrollment increased by 175,000 members in the first half of 2015. Because of these new members the reserves are more subject to change than usual.


•	At our Illinois health plan, enrollment has increased by nearly 79,000 members during the fourth quarter of 2014 and the first half of 2015. Because of these new members the reserves are more subject to change than usual.


•	At our Ohio health plan, enrollment in the MMP integrated duals program has increased by approximately 9,000 members during the first half of 2015. Because of these new members the reserves are more subject to change than usual.


•	At our Washington health plan, certain delays related to the implementation of revised fee schedules resulted in a significant increase to our outpatient claims inventory in the first quarter of 2015, followed by a reduction in inventory during the second quarter of 2015. This significant change in inventory adds to the uncertainty of our unpaid claims estimates.

We recognized favorable prior period claims development in the amount of $138.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This amount represents our estimate as of June 30, 2015, of the extent to which our initial estimate of medical claims and benefits payable at December 31, 2014 was more than the amount that will ultimately be paid out in satisfaction of that liability. We believe the overestimation was due primarily to the following factors:


•	At our Ohio health plan, approximately 17,000 members were enrolled in the new MMP program during 2014. Since we did not have enough historical claims data to use the pattern of paid and incurred claims, we initially estimated the reserves for these new members by applying an estimated medical care ratio (MCR). This resulted in an overstatement in our reserve liability as of December 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

•

Also at our Ohio health plan, approximately 61,000 members were enrolled in the Medicaid expansion program in 2014. The reserves for such members were partially based on expected costs built into the pricing assumptions because this program was new in 2014. Our costs were ultimately less than those assumed in those pricing assumptions, resulting in an overestimation of our liability as of December 31, 2014.

•

At our California health plan, more than 100,000 members were enrolled in the Medicaid expansion program in 2014. The reserves for such members were partially based on expected costs built into the pricing assumptions because this program was new in 2014. Our costs were ultimately less than those assumed in those pricing assumptions, resulting in an overestimation of our liability as of December 31, 2014.


•	At our New Mexico health plan, there was a retroactive increase to the provider fee schedules implemented by the state in mid-2014. This resulted in many claims adjustments paid well after the dates of service, causing an increase in the average time between the date of service and the date of payment. This resulted in an overstatement of the reserves as of December 31, 2014.

11. Debt

As of June 30, 2015, maturities of debt for the years ending December 31 are as follows (in thousands):



	Total		2015		2016		2017		2018		2019		Thereafter
1.125% Notes	$	550,000	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	550,000

(1)	The 1.625% Notes have a contractual maturity date in 2044; however, on specified dates beginning in 2018 as described below, holders of the 1.625% Notes may require us to repurchase some or all of the 1.625% Notes, or we may redeem any or all of the 1.625% Notes.

Credit Facility. On June 12, 2015, we entered into an unsecured $250 million revolving Credit Facility which will be used to finance working capital needs, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and other general corporate activities. The Credit Facility has a term of 5 years and all amounts outstanding will be due and payable on June 12, 2020. Subject to obtaining commitments from existing or new lenders and satisfaction of other specified conditions, we may increase the Credit Facility to up to $350 million. As of June 30, 2015, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest based, at our election, on a base rate or an adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus in each case the applicable margin. In addition to interest payable on the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding from time to time under the Credit Facility, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee.

Although the Credit Facility is not secured by any of our assets, two of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Molina Medicaid Solutions and Molina Medical Management, Inc., have jointly and severally guaranteed our obligations under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility contains customary non-financial and financial covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum debt-to-EBITDA ratio and minimum statutory net worth. We are required to not exceed a maximum debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 4.00 to 1.00. At June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

1.125% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2020. In February 2013, we issued $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.125% cash convertible senior notes (the 1.125% Notes) due January 15, 2020, unless earlier repurchased or converted. Interest on the 1.125% Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 at a rate of 1.125% per annum.

The 1.125% Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 1.125% Notes; equal in right of payment to any of our unsecured indebtedness that is not subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.

The 1.125% Notes are convertible only into cash, and not into shares of our common stock or any other securities. The initial conversion rate for the 1.125% Notes is 24.5277 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 1.125% Notes. This represents an initial conversion price of approximately $40.77 per share of our common stock. Upon conversion, in lieu of receiving shares of our common stock, a holder will receive an amount in cash, per $1,000 principal amount of 1.125% Notes, equal to the settlement amount, determined in the manner set forth in the indenture. We may not redeem the 1.125% Notes prior to the maturity date.

Holders may convert their 1.125% Notes only under the following circumstances:

Table of Contents

•

during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2013 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;


•	during the five business day period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 1.125% Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;


•	upon the occurrence of specified corporate events; or


•	at any time on or after July 15, 2019 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

The 1.125% Notes met the stock price trigger in the quarter ended June 30, 2015, and are convertible to cash through at least September 30, 2015. Because the 1.125% Notes may be converted into cash within 12 months, the $445.2 million carrying amount is reported in current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2015.

The 1.125% Notes contain an embedded cash conversion option (the 1.125% Conversion Option), which was separated from the 1.125% Notes and accounted for separately as a derivative liability, with changes in fair value reported in our consolidated statements of income until the 1.125% Conversion Option transaction settles or expires. The initial fair value liability of the 1.125% Conversion Option simultaneously reduced the carrying value of the 1.125% Notes (effectively an original issuance discount). This discount is amortized to the 1.125% Notes' principal amount through the recognition of non-cash interest expense over the expected life of the debt. This has resulted in our recognition of interest expense on the 1.125% Notes at an effective rate of approximately 6%. As of June 30, 2015, the 1.125% Notes have a remaining amortization period of 4.5 years. The 1.125% Notes' if-converted value exceeded their principal amount by approximately $361 million and $93 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2044. In September 2014, we issued $301.6 million aggregate principal amount of 1.625% convertible senior notes (the 1.625% Notes) due August 15, 2044, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Interest on the 1.625% Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, at a rate of 1.625% per annum, beginning on February 15, 2015. In addition, beginning with the semiannual interest period commencing immediately following the interest payment date on August 15, 2018, contingent interest will accrue on the 1.625% Notes during any semiannual interest period in which certain conditions or events occur, or under certain events of default. For example, additional interest of 0.25% per year will be payable on the 1.625% Notes for any semiannual interest period for which the principal amount of 1.625% Notes outstanding is less than $100 million.

The 1.625% Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 1.625% Notes; equal in right of payment to any of our unsecured indebtedness that is not subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.

The initial conversion rate for the 1.625% Notes is 17.2157 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 1.625% Notes. This represents an initial conversion price of approximately $58.09 per share of our common stock. Upon conversion, we will pay cash and, if applicable, deliver shares of our common stock to the converting holder in an amount per $1,000 principal amount of 1.625% Notes equal to the settlement amount (as defined in the related indenture).

Holders may convert their 1.625% Notes only under the following circumstances:

•

during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2014 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;


•	during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 1.625% Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;


•	upon the occurrence of specified corporate events;

Table of Contents


•	if we call any 1.625% Notes for redemption, at any time until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date;


•	during the period from, and including, May 15, 2018 to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 19, 2018; or


•	at any time on or after February 15, 2044 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 1.625% Notes, in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

As of June 30, 2015, the 1.625% Notes were not convertible.

We may not redeem the 1.625% Notes prior to August 19, 2018. On or after August 19, 2018, we may redeem for cash all or part of the 1.625% Notes, except for the 1.625% Notes we are required to repurchase in connection with a fundamental change or on any specified repurchase date. The redemption price for the 1.625% Notes will equal 100% of the principal amount of the 1.625% Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, holders of the 1.625% Notes may require us to repurchase some or all of the 1.625% Notes for cash on August 19, 2018, August 19, 2024, August 19, 2029, August 19, 2034 and August 19, 2039, in each case, at a specified price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 1.625% Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Because the 1.625% Notes have cash settlement features, we have allocated the principal amount between a liability component and an equity component. The reduced carrying value on the 1.625% Notes resulted in a debt discount that is amortized back to the 1.625% Notes' principal amount through the recognition of non-cash interest expense over the expected life of the debt. The expected life of the debt is approximately four years, beginning on the issuance date and ending on the first date we may redeem the notes in August 2018. As of June 30, 2015, the 1.625% Notes have a remaining amortization period of 3.1 years. This has resulted in our recognition of interest expense on the 1.625% Notes at an effective rate approximating what we would have incurred had nonconvertible debt with otherwise similar terms been issued, or approximately 5%. The outstanding 1.625% Notes’ if-converted value exceeded their principal amount by approximately $58 million as of June 30, 2015, and did not exceed their principal amount as of December 31, 2014. At June 30, 2015, the equity component of the 1.625% Notes, including the impact of deferred taxes, was $22.9 million.

The principal amounts, unamortized discount (net of premium related to 1.625% Notes), and net carrying amounts of the convertible senior notes were as follows:

Lease Financing Obligations. In 2013, we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction for the sale and contemporaneous leaseback of the Molina Center located in Long Beach, California, and our Ohio health plan office building located in Columbus, Ohio. Due to our continuing involvement with these leased properties, the sale did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting treatment and we remain the "accounting owner" of the properties. These assets continue to be included in our consolidated balance sheets, and also continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives. The lease financing obligation is amortized over the 25-year lease term such that there will be no gain or loss recorded if the lease is not extended at the end of its term. Rent will increase 3% per year through the initial term. Payments under the lease adjust the lease financing obligation, and the imputed interest is recorded to interest expense in our consolidated statements of income. Such interest expense amounted to $6.3 million and $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

As described and defined in further detail in Note 16, "Related Party Transactions," we entered into a lease for office space in February 2013 consisting of two office buildings. We have concluded that we are the accounting owner of the buildings due to our continuing involvement with the properties. We have recorded $37.1 million to property, equipment and capitalized software, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015, which represents the total cost incurred by the Landlord for the construction of the buildings, net of accumulated depreciation. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the aggregate amount recorded to lease financing obligations, including the current portion, amounted to $40.4 million and $40.6 million, respectively. Payments under the lease adjust the lease financing obligation, and the imputed interest is recorded to interest expense in our consolidated statements of income. Such interest expense was $2.0 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition to the capitalization of the costs incurred by the Landlord, we impute and record rent expense relating to the ground leases for the property sites. Such rent expense is computed based on the fair value of the land and our incremental borrowing rate, and was $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

12. Derivatives

The following table summarizes the fair values and the presentation of our derivative financial instruments (defined and discussed individually below) in the consolidated balance sheets:



	Balance Sheet Location	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
		(In thousands)
Derivative asset:
1.125% Call Option	Current assets: Derivative asset	$	508,504	$	—
	Non-current assets: Derivative asset	$	—	$	329,323

Derivative liability:
1.125% Conversion Option	Current liabilities: Derivative liability	$	508,355	$	—
	Non-current liabilities: Derivative liability	$	—	$	329,194

Our derivative financial instruments do not qualify for hedge treatment, therefore the change in fair value of these instruments is recognized immediately in our consolidated statements of income, and reported in other expense, net. Gains and losses for our derivative financial instruments are presented individually in the consolidated statements of cash flows, supplemental cash flow information.

1.125% Notes Call Spread Overlay. Concurrent with the issuance of the 1.125% Notes in 2013, we entered into privately negotiated hedge transactions (collectively, the 1.125% Call Option) and warrant transactions (collectively, the 1.125% Warrants), with certain of the initial purchasers of the 1.125% Notes (the Counterparties). We refer to these transactions collectively as the Call Spread Overlay. Under the Call Spread Overlay, the cost of the 1.125% Call Option we purchased to cover the cash outlay upon conversion of the 1.125% Notes was reduced by proceeds from the sale of the 1.125% Warrants. Assuming full performance by the Counterparties (and 1.125% Warrants strike prices in excess of the conversion price of the 1.125% Notes), these transactions are intended to offset cash payments due upon any conversion of the 1.125% Notes.

1.125% Call Option. The 1.125% Call Option, which is indexed to our common stock, is a derivative asset that requires mark-to-market accounting treatment due to cash settlement features until the 1.125% Call Option settles or expires. For further discussion of the inputs used to determine the fair value of the 1.125% Call Option, refer to Note 6, "Fair Value Measurements."

1.125% Conversion Option. The embedded cash conversion option within the 1.125% Notes is accounted for separately as a derivative liability, with changes in fair value reported in our consolidated statements of income until the cash conversion

Table of Contents

option settles or expires. For further discussion of the inputs used to determine the fair value of the 1.125% Conversion Option, refer to Note 6, "Fair Value Measurements."

As of June 30, 2015, the 1.125% Call Option and the 1.125% Conversion Option were classified as a current asset and current liability, respectively, because the 1.125% Notes may be converted within 12 months of June 30, 2015, as described in Note 11, "Debt.”

13. Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' equity increased $452.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with stockholders' equity at December 31, 2014. The increase was due primarily to the common stock offering described below, net income of $67.1 million, and $13.2 million related to employee stock transactions.

Common Stock Offering. In June 2015, we completed an underwritten public offering of 5,750,000 shares of our common stock, including the over-allotment option, conducted pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement filed with the SEC in May 2015. Net of issuance costs, proceeds from the offering amounted to approximately $373.2 million, or $64.90 per share, resulting in an increase to additional paid-in capital. We will use the proceeds to finance working capital needs, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and other general corporate activities.

1.125% Warrants. In connection with the 1.125% Notes Call Spread Overlay transaction described in Note 12, "Derivatives," we issued 13,490,236 warrants with a strike price of $53.8475 per share. The number of warrants and the strike price are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. If the market value per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the 1.125% Warrants on any trading day during the 160 trading day measurement period under the 1.125% Warrants, we will be obligated to issue to the Counterparties a number of shares equal in value to the product of the amount by which such market value exceeds such strike price and 1/160th of the aggregate number of shares of our common stock underlying the 1.125% Warrants, subject to a share delivery cap. The 1.125% Warrants could separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of our common stock (as measured under the terms of the warrant transactions) exceeds the applicable strike price of the 1.125% Warrants. We will not receive any additional proceeds if the 1.125% Warrants are exercised.

Securities Repurchase Programs. Effective as of February 25, 2015, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million in aggregate of our common stock. Stock repurchases under this program may be made through open-market and/or privately negotiated transactions at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements and market conditions. This repurchase program extends through December 31, 2015.

Shelf Registration Statement. As noted above, we filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 in May 2015 covering the issuance of an indeterminate number of our securities, including common stock, warrants, or debt securities. We may publicly offer securities from time to time at prices and terms to be determined at the time of the offering.

Stock Plans. In connection with our equity incentive plans and employee stock purchase plan, we issued approximately 460,000 shares of common stock, net of shares used to settle employees’ income tax obligations, for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

14. Segment Information

We report our financial performance based on two reportable segments: the Health Plans segment and the Molina Medicaid Solutions segment. Our reportable segments are consistent with how we manage the business and view the markets we serve. Our Health Plans segment consists of our health plans and our direct delivery business. Our health plans represent operating segments that have been aggregated for reporting purposes because they share similar economic characteristics.

Our Molina Medicaid Solutions segment provides MMIS design, development, and implementation; business process outsourcing solutions; hosting services; and information technology support services to state Medicaid agencies.

Table of Contents

We rely on an internal management reporting process that provides segment information to the operating income level for purposes of making financial decisions and allocating resources. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies." For presentation purposes, the cost of centralized services is reported within the Health Plans segment.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings. The health care and business process outsourcing industries are subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state, and local governments. Compliance with these laws and regulations can be subject to government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown and unasserted at this time. Penalties associated with violations of these laws and regulations include significant fines and penalties, exclusion from participating in publicly funded programs, and the repayment of previously billed and collected revenues.

We are involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of business, some of which seek monetary damages, including claims for punitive damages, which are not covered by insurance. We have accrued liabilities for certain matters for which we deem the loss to be both probable and estimable. Although we believe that our estimates of such losses are reasonable, these estimates could change as a result of further developments of these matters. The outcome of legal actions is inherently uncertain and such pending matters for which accruals have not been established have not progressed sufficiently through discovery and/or development of important factual information and legal issues to enable us to estimate a range of possible loss, if any. While it is not possible to accurately predict or determine the eventual outcomes of these items, an adverse determination in one or more of these pending matters could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

State of Louisiana. On June 26, 2014, the state of Louisiana filed a Petition for Damages against Molina Medicaid Solutions, Molina Healthcare, Inc., Unisys Corporation, and Paramax Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of Unisys, in the Parish of Baton Rouge, 19th Judicial District, versus number 631612. The Petition alleges that between 1989 and 2012, the defendants utilized an incorrect reimbursement formula for the payment of pharmaceutical claims. We believe we have several meritorious defenses to the claims of the state, and any liability for the alleged claims is not currently probable or reasonably estimable.

USA and State of Florida ex rel. Charles Wilhelm. On July 24, 2014, Molina Healthcare, Inc. and Molina Healthcare of Florida, Inc. were served with a Complaint filed under seal on December 5, 2012 in District Court for the Southern District of Florida by relator, Charles C. Wilhelm, M.D., Case No. 12-24298. The Complaint alleges that in late 2008 and early 2009, in connection with the acquisition of Florida NetPass under which Molina Healthcare of Florida, Inc. began conducting business in the state of Florida, the defendants failed to adequately staff the plan and provide other services, resulting in a disproportionate number of sicker beneficiaries of Florida NetPass moving back into the Florida fee-for-service Medicaid program. This alleged conduct purportedly resulted in a violation of the federal False Claims Act. Both the United States of

Table of Contents

America and the state of Florida have declined to intervene. We believe we have several meritorious defenses to the claims of the relator, and any liability for the alleged claims is not currently probable or reasonably estimable.

United States of America, ex rel., Anita Silingo v. Mobile Medical Examination Services, Inc., et al. On or around October 14, 2014, Molina Healthcare of California, Molina Healthcare of California Partner Plan, Inc., Mobile Medical Examination Services, Inc. (MedXM), and other health plan defendants were served with a Complaint previously filed under seal in the Central District Court of California by relator, Anita Silingo, Case No. SACV13-1348-FMO(SHx). The Complaint alleges that MedXM improperly modified medical records and otherwise took inappropriate steps to increase members’ risk adjustment scores, and that the defendants, including Molina Healthcare of California and Molina Healthcare of California Partner Plan, Inc., purportedly turned a “blind eye” to these unlawful practices. The Department of Justice has declined to intervene. We believe that we have several meritorious defenses to the claims of the relator, and any liability for the alleged claims is not currently probable or reasonably estimable.

Provider Claims. Many of our medical contracts are complex in nature and may be subject to differing interpretations regarding amounts due for the provision of various services. Such differing interpretations have led certain medical providers to pursue us for additional compensation. The claims made by providers in such circumstances often involve issues of contract compliance, interpretation, payment methodology, and intent. These claims often extend to services provided by the providers over a number of years.

Various providers have contacted us seeking additional compensation for claims that we believe to have been settled. These matters, when finally concluded and determined, will not, in our opinion, have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Regulatory Capital and Dividend Restrictions. Our health plans, which are operated by our respective wholly owned subsidiaries in those states, are subject to state laws and regulations that, among other things, require the maintenance of minimum levels of statutory capital, as defined by each state. Regulators in some states may also attempt to enforce capital requirements upon us that require the retention of net worth in excess of amounts formally required by statute or regulation. Such statutes, regulations and informal capital requirements also restrict the timing, payment, and amount of dividends and other distributions that may be paid to us as the sole stockholder. To the extent our subsidiaries must comply with these regulations, they may not have the financial flexibility to transfer funds to us. Based upon current statutes and regulations, the net assets in these subsidiaries (after intercompany eliminations) which may not be transferable to us in the form of loans, advances, or cash dividends was approximately $1,005 million at June 30, 2015, and $859 million at December 31, 2014. Because of the statutory restrictions that inhibit the ability of our health plans to transfer net assets to us, the amount of retained earnings readily available to pay dividends to our stockholders is generally limited to cash, cash equivalents and investments held by the parent company – Molina Healthcare, Inc. Such cash, cash equivalents and investments amounted to $536.4 million and $202.6 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), adopted rules effective December 31, 1998, which, if implemented by the states, set minimum capitalization requirements for insurance companies, HMOs, and other entities bearing risk for health care coverage. The requirements take the form of risk-based capital (RBC) rules which may vary from state to state.

As of June 30, 2015, our health plans had aggregate statutory capital and surplus of approximately $1,071 million compared with the required minimum aggregate statutory capital and surplus of approximately $589 million. All of our health plans were in compliance with the minimum capital requirements at June 30, 2015. We have the ability and commitment to provide additional capital to each of our health plans when necessary to ensure that statutory capital and surplus continue to meet regulatory requirements.

16. Related Party Transactions

We have entered into a lease (the Amended Lease) with 6^th & Pine Development, LLC (the Landlord) for two office buildings. The principal members of the Landlord are John C.

17. Variable Interest Entities

Joseph M. Molina M.D., Professional Corporations

The Joseph M. Molina, M.D. Professional Corporations (JMMPC) were created in 2012 to further advance our direct delivery business. JMMPC's primary shareholder is Dr. J. Mario Molina, our chief executive officer, president, and chairman of the board of directors. Dr. Molina is paid no salary and receives no dividends in connection with his work for, or ownership of, JMMPC. JMMPC provides primary care medical services through its employed physicians and other medical professionals. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014, JMMPC also provided certain specialty referral services to our California health plan members through a contracted provider network. Substantially all of the individuals served by JMMPC are members of our health plans. JMMPC does not have agreements to provide professional medical services with any other entities.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Molina Medical Management, Inc. (MMM), has entered into services agreements with JMMPC to provide clinic facilities, clinic administrative support staff, patient scheduling services and medical supplies to JMMPC. The services agreements were designed such that JMMPC will operate at break even, ensuring the availability of quality care and access for our health plan members. The services agreements provide that the administrative fees charged to JMMPC by MMM are reviewed annually to assure the achievement of this goal.

Separately, our California, Florida, New Mexico, Utah and Washington health plans have entered into primary care services agreements with JMMPC. These agreements direct our health plans to perform a monthly reconciliation, to either fund JMMPC's operating deficits, or receive JMMPC's operating surpluses, such that JMMPC will derive no profit or loss. Because the MMM services agreements described above mitigate the likelihood of significant operating deficits or surpluses, such monthly reconciliation amounts are generally insignificant.

We have determined that JMMPC is a variable interest entity (VIE), and that we are its primary beneficiary. We have reached this conclusion under the power and benefits criterion model according to GAAP. Specifically, we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect JMMPC's economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that are potentially significant to the VIE, under the agreements described above. Because we are its primary beneficiary, we have consolidated JMMPC. JMMPC's assets may be used to settle only JMMPC's obligations, and JMMPC's creditors have no recourse to the general credit of Molina Healthcare, Inc. As of June 30, 2015, JMMPC had total assets of $14.2 million, and total liabilities of $14.1 million. As of December 31, 2014, JMMPC had total assets of $31.1 million, and total liabilities of $30.8 million.

Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with JMMPC is generally limited to the amounts needed to fund JMMPC's ongoing payroll, employee benefits and medical care costs associated with JMMPC's specialty referral activities. We believe that such loss exposures will be immaterial to our consolidated operating results and cash flows for the foreseeable future.

Company Overview

The following discussion and analysis, with the exception of cash flow information, is presented in the context of continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

Overview of Financial Results, Continuing Operations

Financial results for the second quarter of 2015 improved significantly over the same quarter of 2014 due to higher revenue, greater medical and administrative cost efficiency, and more complete state reimbursement of the Affordable Care Act Health Insurer Fee (HIF).

Income from continuing operations, before tax expense, increased to $101 million in the second quarter of 2015, from $18 million in the second quarter of 2014, and $67 million in the first quarter of this year.

Premium revenue increased approximately 52% in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014 due to increased Medicaid expansion and Marketplace enrollment, growth in our Illinois health plan, and the recent start-up of our Puerto Rico health plan.

Medical care costs as a percent of premium revenue (the "medical care ratio") decreased to 88.7% in the second quarter of 2015, from 89.3% in the second quarter of 2014, and were unchanged from the first quarter of this year.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue (the "general and administrative expense ratio") decreased to 8.1% in the second quarter of 2015, from 8.4% in the second quarter of 2014, and were unchanged from the first quarter of this year.

Financing Activities

In June 2015, we issued 5.75 million shares of common stock, raising $373 million, after offering costs. Additionally in June 2015, we entered into a $250 million revolving credit facility. Both of these actions will finance working capital needs, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and other general corporate activities.

Health Care Reform

Government-sponsored initiatives, including the Affordable Care Act (ACA), will remain the primary focus of our business. Three of those government-sponsored initiatives that have a significant impact on our current operations are as follows:

•

Medicaid Expansion. In the states that have elected to participate, the ACA provides for the expansion of the Medicaid program to offer eligibility to nearly all low-income people under age 65 with incomes at or below 138% of the federal poverty line. Medicaid expansion membership phased in beginning January 1, 2014. Our health plans in California, Illinois, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio, and Washington participate in Medicaid expansion. At June 30, 2015, our membership included approximately 475,000 Medicaid expansion members, or 14% of total membership.

•

Marketplace. The ACA authorized the creation of Marketplace health insurance exchanges, allowing individuals and small groups to purchase health insurance that is federally subsidized, effective January 1, 2014. We participate in the Marketplace in all of the states in which we operate, except Illinois, Puerto Rico and South Carolina. At June 30, 2015, our membership included approximately 261,000 Marketplace members, with approximately 176,000, or 67%, of those members in Florida.

Table of Contents

•

Medicare-Medicaid Plans. To coordinate care for those who qualify to receive both Medicare and Medicaid services (the "dual eligible"), and to deliver services to the dual eligible in a more financially efficient manner, 15 states have undertaken demonstration programs to integrate Medicare and Medicaid services for dual-eligible individuals. The health plans participating in such demonstrations are referred to as Medicare-Medicaid Plans (MMPs). Our MMPs in California, Illinois, and Ohio offered coverage beginning in 2014; our MMPs in South Carolina and Texas offered coverage beginning in the first quarter of 2015; and our MMPs in Michigan offered coverage beginning in the second quarter of 2015. At June 30, 2015, our membership included approximately 39,000 integrated MMP members.

Health Insurer Fee Update

We continue to make progress in securing full reimbursement for the Medicaid portion of our expense under the HIF.

During the second quarter of 2015, we recognized as revenue the entire HIF reimbursement due from California for the period January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. We recognized approximately $12 million ($0.14 per diluted share) related to 2014; and approximately $17 million ($0.20 per diluted share) related to the first half of 2015. After allowing for HIF revenue not recognized for Michigan and Utah (approximately $8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for each of the first and second quarters), the net impact of HIF reimbursement was $12 million ($0.14 per diluted share) favorable for the second quarter and $5 million ($0.06 per diluted share) unfavorable for the six months ended June 30.

The comparable amount of HIF reimbursement not recognized in the second quarter of 2014 was approximately $15 million ($0.20 per diluted share) for the second quarter and approximately $32 million ($0.42 per diluted share) for the six months ended June 30.

For further discussion of the risks and uncertainties relating to the HIF, refer to the subheading below, "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition."

Market Updates - Health Plans Segment

As of second quarter of 2015, our Florida health plan served 176,000 Marketplace members, more than double its total membership as of December 31, 2014.

Puerto Rico. Effective April 1, 2015, our Puerto Rico health plan served its first members. As of June 30, 2015, our Puerto Rico plan enrollment amounted to approximately 361,000 members.

Composition of Revenue and Membership

Health Plans Segment

Our Health Plans segment derives its revenue, in the form of premiums, chiefly from our health plans' Medicaid contracts and, to a lesser degree, from Medicare contracts entered into with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a federal government agency.

Our health plans' state Medicaid contracts generally have terms of three to four years. These contracts typically contain renewal options exercisable by the state Medicaid agency, and allow either the state or the health plan to terminate the contract with or without cause. Our health plan subsidiaries have generally been successful in retaining their contracts, but such contracts are subject to risk of loss when a state issues a new RFP open to competitive bidding by other health plans. If one of our health plans is not a successful responsive bidder to a state RFP, its contract may be subject to non-renewal.

In addition to contract renewal, our state Medicaid contracts may be periodically amended to include or exclude certain health benefits (such as pharmacy services, behavioral health services, or long-term care services); populations such as the aged, blind or disabled; and regions or service areas. The state Medicaid programs and the federal Medicare program periodically adjust premium rates.

Premium revenue is fixed in advance of the periods covered and is not generally subject to significant accounting estimates, except as described in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies." These premium revenues are recognized in the month that members are entitled to receive health care services. Premiums received in advance are deferred.

The amount of the premiums paid to us may vary substantially between states and among various government programs. The following table sets forth the ranges of premiums paid to our state health plans by program, on a PMPM basis for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The "Consolidated" column represents the weighted-average amounts for our total membership by program.



	PMPM Premiums
	Low		High		Consolidated
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), CHIP (1)	$	110.00	$	300.00	$	180.00

Molina Medicaid Solutions Segment

The payments received by our Molina Medicaid Solutions segment under its state contracts are based on the performance of multiple services. The first of these is the design, development and implementation (DDI) of an MMIS. An additional service, following completion of DDI, is the operation of the MMIS under a business process outsourcing (BPO) arrangement. When providing BPO services (which include claims payment and eligibility processing) we also provide the state with other services including both hosting and support, and maintenance. Because we have determined the services provided under our Molina Medicaid Solutions contracts represent a single unit of accounting, we recognize revenue associated with such contracts on a straight-line basis over the contract term during which BPO, hosting, and support and maintenance services are delivered. Our contracts may contain contingencies that require us to delay recognition of all or part of our service revenue until such contingencies have been removed.

Composition of Expenses

Health Plans Segment

Operating expenses for the Health Plans segment include expenses related to the provision of medical care services (including long-term services and supports, or LTSS), general and administrative expenses, premium tax and health insurer fee expenses. Our results of operations are impacted by our ability to effectively manage expenses related to medical care services and to accurately estimate medical costs incurred. Expenses related to medical care services are captured in the following categories:

•

Fee-for-service expenses: Under fee-for-service arrangements, we retain the financial responsibility for medical care provided and incur costs based on actual utilization of services. Such expenses are recorded in the period in which the related services are dispensed. Nearly all hospital services and the majority of our primary care and physician specialist services are paid on a fee-for-service basis.

Table of Contents


•	Pharmacy expenses: All drug, injectables, and immunization costs paid through our pharmacy benefit manager are classified as pharmacy expenses.


•	Capitation expenses: Under capitation arrangements, we pay a fixed amount PMPM to the provider without regard to the frequency, extent, or nature of the medical services actually furnished.


•	Direct delivery expenses: All costs associated with our direct delivery of medical care are separately identified.


•	Other medical expenses: All medically related administrative costs, certain provider incentive costs, reinsurance costs and other health care expenses are classified as other medical expenses.

Our medical care costs include amounts that have been paid by us through the reporting date as well as estimated liabilities for medical care costs incurred but not paid by us as of the reporting date. See Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 10, "Medical Claims and Benefits Payable," for further information on how we estimate such liabilities.

Molina Medicaid Solutions Segment

Cost of service revenue consists primarily of the costs incurred to provide BPO and technology outsourcing services under our MMIS contracts. General and administrative costs consist primarily of indirect administrative costs and business development costs. In some circumstances we may defer recognition of incremental direct costs (such as direct labor, hardware, and software) associated with a contract if revenue recognition is also deferred. Such deferred contract costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract term, consistent with the revenue recognition period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the following non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental metrics in evaluating our financial performance, making financing and business decisions, and forecasting and planning for future periods. For these reasons, management believes such measures are useful supplemental measures to investors in comparing our performance and the performance of other companies in the health care industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to, and not substitutes for or superior to, GAAP measures (GAAP stands for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles).

The first of these non-GAAP measures is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA. The following table reconciles net income, which we believe to be the most comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA.



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014

EBITDA	$	144,376	$	60,856	$	255,755	$	110,327

The second of these non-GAAP measures is adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share, continuing operations. The following table reconciles net income and net income per diluted share from continuing operations, which we believe to be the most comparable GAAP measures, to adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share, continuing operations.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, we have revised the calculation of adjusted net income, continuing operations. We no longer subtract "depreciation, and amortization of capitalized software" and "share-based compensation" from net income, continuing operations to arrive at adjusted net income, continuing operations. We have made this change to better reflect the way in which we evaluate our financial performance, make financing and business decisions, and forecast and plan for future periods. All periods presented below conform to this presentation.

Individual Health Plan Analysis

California. Premium revenue grew 26.5% in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014, the result of higher Medicaid expansion membership (up 69,000 members) and TANF and ABD membership (up 51,000 members); as well as the start-up of an MMP plan in the second quarter of 2014 (15,000 members at June 30, 2015). Overall, enrollment on a member-month basis increased 31% in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014. The medical care ratio increased to 91.1% in the second quarter of 2015, from 81.6% in the second quarter of 2014, as a lower medical care ratio for the ABD program was more than offset by higher medical care ratios for other programs.

Florida. The Florida health plan added approximately 175,000 Marketplace members in the first half of 2015. As a result, premium revenue increased significantly, and medical margin improved $31.9 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014. The medical care ratio decreased to 84.3% from 91.6% in the second quarter of 2014, due to the lower medical care ratio of the Marketplace membership more than offsetting an increased medical care ratio for the Medicaid program.

Illinois. Premium revenue grew to $101.8 million in the second quarter of 2015, from $19.3 million in the second quarter of 2014. The plan experienced significant growth in late 2014, primarily within the traditional TANF program, and to a lesser degree within the Medicaid expansion program. Additionally, the plan served its first MMP members in the first half of 2014. The medical care ratio for the Illinois health plan decreased to 96.6% in the second quarter of 2015, from 106.3% in the second quarter of 2014. The plan's higher medical care ratio in 2014 was primarily the result of a small membership base transitioning to managed care, and increased medically related administrative costs incurred in preparation of anticipated enrollment growth in late 2014.

Michigan. Premium revenue grew $52.2 million, or 28%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014 due to the addition of Medicaid expansion members beginning in the second quarter of 2014. Medicaid expansion enrollment reached 53,000 members by June 30, 2015. The consolidated medical care ratio decreased to 84.2% in the second quarter of 2015, from 88.2% for the second quarter of 2014, due to growth of the Medicaid expansion program which has a lower medical care ratio than the plan's traditional Medicaid business.

New Mexico. Premium revenue grew $53.8 million, or 20%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014, due to substantial increases in membership in all Medicaid programs. The medical care ratio decreased to 85.8% in the second quarter of 2015, from 89.6% in the second quarter of 2014, due to lower medical care ratios for the TANF and ABD programs, which more than offset an increase in the medical care ratio for the Medicaid expansion program.

Ohio. Premium revenue grew $179.8 million, or 55%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014, due to growth in membership within the Medicaid expansion, MMP, and ABD programs. The medical care ratio increased to 85.0% in the second quarter of 2015, from 84.2% in the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to medical costs associated with the plan's higher-acuity MMP members.

Puerto Rico. The medical care ratio was 95.0% in the second quarter of 2015. The plan served its first members effective April 1, 2015.

South Carolina. The medical care ratio decreased to 71.3% in the second quarter of 2015, from 87.8% in the second quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2014, the plan enrolled its first members who were transitioned from Medicaid fee-for-service to managed care. We believe that medical care ratios below 80% are not sustainable over time.

Texas. Premium revenue grew $191.4 million, or 60%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to the addition of ABD members receiving nursing facility benefits effective March 1, 2015 and the start-up of the Texas MMP program on that same date. The medical care ratio for the Texas health plan decreased to 91.5% in the second quarter of 2015, from 92.8% in the second quarter of 2014. For a discussion of the plan's quality related revenue, refer to Individual Health Plan Analysis under "Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2014," below.

Utah. The medical care ratio decreased to 89.7% in the second quarter of 2015, from 95.5% in the second quarter of 2014, due to improvement in the Medicare medical care ratio and the addition of Marketplace membership which has a lower medical care ratio than the plan's traditional Medicaid business.

Washington. Premium revenue grew $72.8 million, or 22%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to growth in Medicaid expansion membership. The medical care ratio was consistent at 90.4% in the second quarter of 2015, compared with 90.5% in the second quarter of 2014.

Wisconsin. Premium revenue grew $37.6 million, or 102%, in the second quarter of 2015 when compared with the second quarter of 2014 as a result of increased Marketplace enrollment. The medical care ratio decreased to 75.3% in the second quarter of 2015, from 89.8% in the second quarter of 2014. We believe that medical care ratios below 80% are not sustainable over time.

Individual Health Plan Analysis

California. Premium revenue grew 50.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2014, the result of higher membership, as described above. Overall, enrollment on a member-month basis increased 37% in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2014. Increased premium revenue was also driven by a 13% increase in premium revenue PMPM, which was the result of the higher relative premium revenue PMPM among those programs experiencing enrollment growth (Medicaid expansion and MMP); and the addition of long-term care benefits to some of the health plan's ABD membership. The medical care ratio increased to 89.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2015, from 83.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to higher medical care ratios for all programs.

Florida. The health plan's premium revenue increased significantly, and medical margin improved $49.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2014, due to the increase in Marketplace membership described above. The medical care ratio decreased to 87.7% from 90.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2014, due to the lower medical care ratio of the Marketplace membership more than offsetting an increase in the medical care ratio for the Medicaid program.

Illinois. Premium revenue grew to $205.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $34.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, due to significant membership growth in late 2014, as described above. The medical care ratio for the

Table of Contents

Illinois health plan decreased to 91.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2015, from 101.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2014. The plan's higher medical care ratio in 2014 was primarily the result of a small membership base transitioning to managed care, and increased medically related administrative costs incurred in preparation of anticipated enrollment growth in late 2014.

Michigan. Premium revenue grew $98.2 million, or 27%, in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to the addition of Medicaid expansion members starting in the second quarter of 2014, as described above. Higher medical care ratios for both the TANF and ABD programs offset a lower medical care ratio for the Medicaid expansion program, resulting in an increased medical care ratio of 84.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with 83.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

New Mexico. Premium revenue grew $142.4 million, or 29%, in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2014, due to substantial increases in membership in all Medicaid programs. The medical care ratio increased to 89.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2015, from 88.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2014, as increases in the medical care ratios of the TANF more than offset lower medical care ratios for the Medicaid expansion and ABD programs.

Ohio. Premium revenue grew $416.6 million, or 69%, in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2014, due to growth in membership within the Medicaid expansion, MMP, and ABD programs. The medical care ratio of the Ohio health plan decreased to 82.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2015, from 84.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2014, due to lower medical care ratios in all Medicaid programs.

Puerto Rico. The plan began serving members on April 1, 2015; therefore its medical care ratio of 95.0% was the same for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as the second quarter of 2015.

South Carolina. The medical care ratio decreased to 76.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2015, from 90.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2014. In the first quarter of 2014, the plan enrolled its first members who were transitioned from Medicaid fee-for-service to managed care. We believe that medical care ratios below 80% are not sustainable over time.

Texas. Premium revenue grew $253.1 million, or 39%, in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the addition of ABD members receiving nursing facility benefits effective March 1, 2015, and the start-up of the Texas MMP program on that same date. The medical care ratio decreased slightly to 91.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2015, from 92.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

As previously disclosed, we have deferred recognition of that portion of our quality related revenue in Texas that is based upon measures for which we do not have historical information, clear definitions, and clarity around minimum standards. Such revenue is estimated to be approximately $20 million for all of 2014, and $12 million for the first half of 2015. We have not recognized any of this revenue through June 30, 2015.

Utah. The medical care ratio increased to 92.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2015, from 90.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2014, as a higher medical care ratio for members served under the TANF and ABD programs more than offset a lower medical care ratio in the Medicare program.

Washington. Premium revenue grew $125.7 million, or 19%, in the six months ended June 30, 2015 when compared with the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to growth in Medicaid expansion membership. The medical care ratio increased to 91.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2015, from 91.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2014, as a higher medical care ratio for members served under the TANF program more than offset a lower medical care ratio in the ABD program.

Wisconsin. Premium revenue grew $59.4 million, or 79%, in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of increased Marketplace enrollment. The medical care ratio of the Wisconsin health plan decreased to 77.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2015, from 82.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2014. We believe that medical care ratios below 80% are not sustainable over time.

Molina Medicaid Solutions Segment

Performance of the Molina Medicaid Solutions segment was as follows:



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014
	(In thousands)
Service revenue before amortization	$	100,162		$	105,319
Amortization recorded as reduction of service revenue	(1,061		)	(1,457		)
Service revenue	99,101			103,862
Cost of service revenue	68,721			77,764
General and administrative costs	3,208			3,641
Amortization of customer relationship intangibles	339			1,768
Operating income	$	26,833		$	20,689

Operating income for our Molina Medicaid Solutions segment increased $6.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily the result of a renegotiated state contract, various operational efficiencies, and decreased intangible amortization.

Consolidated Expenses

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue (the "general and administrative expense ratio") decreased to 8.1% in the second quarter of 2015 compared with 8.4% in the second quarter of 2014. The general and administrative expense ratio decreased to 8.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with 8.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. For both periods, the decline in this ratio was primarily the result of improved leverage of fixed administrative expenses over higher total revenue.

Premium Tax Expense

The premium tax ratio (premium tax expense as a percentage of premium revenue plus premium tax revenue) was 2.8% in the second quarter of 2015 compared with 3.1% in the second quarter of 2014, and 2.9% in both the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Health Insurer Fee Revenue and Expenses

Health insurer fee revenue, as a percentage of premium revenue, increased to 2.2% in the second quarter of 2015 from 0.9% in the second quarter of 2014, and increased to 1.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2015, from 0.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Table of Contents

Health insurer fee expenses, as a percentage of premium revenue, were 1.2% in the second quarter of 2015, compared with 1.0% in the second quarter of 2014, and 1.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with 1.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

HIF revenue increased in 2015 compared with 2014 due to improved reimbursement of Medicaid-related HIF expenses in 2015. In addition, both HIF revenue and expenses increased over the prior year proportionally to the increase in the total HIF tax base, which is assessed to all insurers. This base increased to $11.3 billion in 2015, from $8.0 billion in 2014. Refer to "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition" below, for further discussion of the HIF.

Depreciation and Amortization

The following table presents all depreciation and amortization recorded in our consolidated statements of income, regardless of whether the item appears as depreciation and amortization, a reduction of revenue, or as cost of service revenue.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $14.9 million for the second quarter of 2015, from $14.0 million for the second quarter of 2014. Interest expense increased to $29.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $27.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was due primarily to the issuance of the 1.625% Notes in the third quarter of 2014. For further details regarding convertible senior notes transactions, refer to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 11, "Debt."

Interest expense includes non-cash interest expense relating primarily to the amortization of the discount on convertible senior notes, which amounted to $7.4 million and $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $14.7 million and $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes in continuing operations was recorded at an effective rate of 61.3% for the second quarter of 2015, compared with 58.0% for the second quarter of 2014, and 60.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with

Table of Contents

56.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The effective tax rate for 2015 is higher than 2014 primarily as a result of higher non-deductible HIF expenses in 2015, and our inability to record tax benefits for losses incurred at our Puerto Rico health plan, which commenced operations in 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Introduction

Our regulated health plan subsidiaries generate significant cash flows from premium revenue. We generally receive premium revenue a short time before we pay for the related health care services; such cash flows generate our primary source of liquidity. Thus, any future decline in our profitability may have a negative impact on our liquidity. In addition, the majority of our premium revenues comes from the joint federal and state funding of the Medicaid and CHIP programs. From time to time, states may delay premium payments. Whenever a state delays payments, for whatever the reason, our liquidity is reduced. See further discussion under Financial Condition, below.

We manage our cash, investments, and capital structure to meet the short- and long-term obligations of our business while maintaining liquidity and financial flexibility. We forecast, analyze, and monitor our cash flows to enable prudent investment management and financing within the confines of our financial strategy.

A majority of the assets held by our regulated subsidiaries is in the form of cash, cash equivalents, and investments. Cash in excess of the capital needs of our regulated health plans is generally paid to our non-regulated parent company in the form of dividends, when and as permitted by applicable regulations, for general corporate use. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the non-regulated parent company received dividends from subsidiaries amounting to $42 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the parent received no dividends from subsidiaries.

We generally invest cash of regulated subsidiaries that exceeds our expected short-term obligations in longer term, investment-grade, and marketable debt securities to improve our overall investment return. These investments are made pursuant to board approved investment policies which conform to applicable state laws and regulations. Our investment policies are designed to provide liquidity, preserve capital, and maximize total return on invested assets, all in a manner consistent with state requirements that prescribe the types of instruments in which our subsidiaries may invest. These investment policies require that our investments have final maturities of 10 years or less (excluding auction rate securities and variable rate securities, for which interest rates are periodically reset) and that the average maturity be three years or less. Professional portfolio managers operating under documented guidelines manage our investments. As of June 30, 2015, a substantial portion of our cash was invested in a portfolio of highly liquid money market securities, and our investments consisted solely of investment-grade debt securities.

All of our investments are classified as current assets, except for our restricted investments and our investments in auction rate securities, which are classified as non-current assets. Our restricted investments are invested principally in certificates of deposit and U.S. treasury securities. Investments and restricted investments are subject to interest rate risk and will decrease in value if market rates increase. We have the ability to hold our restricted investments until maturity. Declines in interest rates over time will reduce our investment income.

Liquidity

A condensed schedule of cash flows to facilitate our discussion of liquidity follows:



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014			Change
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	647,710		$	235,460		$	412,250
Net cash used in investing activities	(556,849		)	(102,336		)	(454,513		)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	383,958			(41,668		)	425,626
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	474,819		$	91,456		$	383,363

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities increased $412.3 million year over year, primarily due to the changes in receivables, amounts due government agencies, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The change in accounts receivable provided $139.9 million year over year, primarily due to collections of premiums receivable at our California health plan in the six months ended June 30, 2015. The change in amounts due government agencies provided $177.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, in connection with Health Plans segment membership growth in

Table of Contents

programs that contain medical cost floors or medical cost corridors. Under such programs, a portion of certain Medicaid, Medicare, and Marketplace premiums received by our health plans may be returned if certain minimum amounts are not spent on defined medical care costs. The change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities provided $100.1 million, primarily due to the accrual of the 2015 HIF in the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased to $556.8 million, from $102.3 million in the same period of 2014 primarily due to the investment of the net proceeds from our common stock offering, as described below. In addition, purchases of property, equipment and capitalized software increased approximately $28.2 million, primarily due to the start-up of our operations in Puerto Rico on April 1, 2015.

Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2015 amounted to $384.0 million, due primarily to $373.2 million proceeds, net of issuance costs, from the June 2015 offering of 5.75 million shares of our common stock. Cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2014 related primarily to the settlement of $50.3 million of contingent consideration liabilities for our 2013 South Carolina health plan acquisition, with no comparable activity in the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Financial Condition

On a consolidated basis, at June 30, 2015, working capital amounted to $1,067.7 million, compared with $1,070.6 million at December 31, 2014. We held cash and investments, including restricted investments, of $3,593.8 million and $2,665.9 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Credit Facility Covenants. The $250 million revolving Credit Facility contains customary non-financial and financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio, a maximum net debt-to-EBITDA ratio, and minimum statutory net worth, as described in greater detail in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in Note 11, "Debt." As of June 30, 2015, there were no borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility and we were in compliance with all covenants.

States' Budgets. As noted above, from time to time the states in which our health plans operate may delay premium payments. For example, the state of Illinois is currently operating without a budget for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2015, our Illinois health plan served approximately 101,000 members, and recognized premium revenue of approximately $205.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. As of July 30, 2015, Illinois is current with its premium payments through June 30, 2015, but has not paid us for July or August 2015.

In another example, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has reported that it may lack sufficient resources to fund all necessary governmental programs including healthcare-related programs, as well as meet its debt obligations for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. Our Puerto Rico health plan became operational on April 1, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the plan served approximately 361,000 members and recognized premium revenue of approximately $194 million in the second quarter of 2015. As of July 30, 2015, the Commonwealth continues to pay us weekly and is current with its payments.

It has been our practice in the past, and will remain so in the future, to continue to serve our members and pay health care providers for services rendered in circumstances where state (or Commonwealth) governments are temporarily unable to pay us, so long as we continue to believe that such state (or Commonwealth) governments will ultimately pay us.

Health Insurer Fee. We expect the 2015 HIF assessment related to our Medicaid business to be approximately $150 million, with an expected tax effect from the reimbursement of the assessment of approximately $92 million. Therefore, the total reimbursement necessary as a result of the Medicaid-related 2015 HIF assessment is approximately $242 million. We have secured agreements from all of our state partners except Michigan and Utah for the reimbursement of the 2015 HIF.

We continue to work with the states of Michigan and Utah to secure agreement for the reimbursement for the full economic impact of the HIF. The failure of our state partners to reimburse us in full for the HIF and its related tax effects could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Michigan and Utah combined need to pay us approximately $33 million for all of 2015 to make us whole for Medicaid-related 2015 HIF expenses in those two states.

Convertible Senior Notes Classification. As described in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 11, "Debt," our 1.125% Notes met the stock price trigger in the quarter ended June 30, 2015, and are convertible to cash through at least September 30, 2015. Because the 1.125% Notes may be converted into cash within 12 months, the $445.2 million carrying amount is reported in current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2015, which resulted in decreased working capital as of June 30, 2015. We believe that the amount of the 1.125% Notes that may be converted over the next twelve months, if any, will be insignificant. For more information, refer to Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q, "Risk Factors."

We believe that our cash resources and internally generated funds will be sufficient to support our operations, regulatory requirements, and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity

During June and July 2015, we announced that we had entered into agreements to acquire Medicaid contracts that will add a total of approximately 180,000 members by the end of 2015 to our health plans in Florida, Illinois and Michigan. We expect to spend approximately $110 million in total for these three acquisitions.

For information on our Credit Facility, convertible senior notes, and other financing arrangements, refer to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in Note 11, "Debt."

Contractual Obligations

A summary of future obligations under our various contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2014, was disclosed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no material changes to this previously filed information outside the ordinary course of business during the six months ended June 30, 2015. For further discussion and maturities of our long-term debt, refer to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in Note 11, "Debt."

Critical Accounting Estimates

When we prepare our consolidated financial statements, we use estimates and assumptions that may affect reported amounts and disclosures; actual results could differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting estimates relate to:

•

Health Plans segment medical claims and benefits payable. Refer to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in Note 10, "Medical Claims and Benefits Payable," for a table which presents the components of the change in medical claims and benefits payable, and for additional information regarding the factors used to determine our changes in estimates for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.


•	Health Plans segment contractual provisions that may adjust or limit revenue or profit. Refer to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies," for a discussion of amounts recorded in the second quarter of 2015 in connection with such contractual provisions.


•	Health Plans segment quality incentives. Refer to Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies," for a discussion of amounts recorded in the second quarter of 2015 in connection with such quality incentives.


•	Health Plans segment Marketplace premium stabilization programs (see discussion below).


•	Molina Medicaid Solutions segment revenue and cost recognition. Refer to Part II, Item 8 of our 2014 Form 10-K, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies," for a discussion of Molina Medicaid Solutions' service revenue and cost of service revenue recognition.

There have been no significant changes during the six months ended June 30, 2015, to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting estimates in our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Marketplace Premium Stabilization Programs - Health Plans Segment

The ACA established Marketplace premium stabilization programs effective January 1, 2014. These programs, commonly referred to as the "3R's," include a permanent risk adjustment program, a transitional reinsurance program, and a temporary risk corridor program. Additionally, the ACA established a minimum annual medical loss ratio (Minimum MLR) of 80% for the Marketplace. The medical loss ratio represents medical costs as a percentage of premium revenue, where the components of medical costs and premium revenue are specifically defined by federal regulations. Each of the 3R programs are taken into consideration when computing the Minimum MLR. If the Minimum MLR is not met, we may be required to pay rebates to our Marketplace policyholders.

Our receivables (payables) for each of these programs were as follows (in millions):



	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Risk adjustment	$	(78.1	)	$	(4.8	)
Reinsurance	18.1			4.9
Risk corridor	(20.4		)	(0.5		)
Minimum MLR	(18.3		)	—

Compliance Costs

Our health plans are regulated by both state and federal government agencies. Regulation of managed care products and health care services is an evolving area of law that varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Regulatory agencies generally have discretion to issue regulations and interpret and enforce laws and rules. Changes in applicable laws and rules occur frequently. Compliance with such laws and rules may lead to additional costs related to the implementation of additional systems, procedures and programs that we have not yet identified.

Inflation

We use various strategies to mitigate the negative effects of health care cost inflation. Specifically, our health plans try to control medical and hospital costs through contracts with independent providers of health care services. Through these contracted providers, our health plans emphasize preventive health care and appropriate use of specialty and hospital services. There can be no assurance, however, that our strategies to mitigate health care cost inflation will be successful. Competitive pressures, new health care and pharmaceutical product introductions, demands from health care providers and customers, applicable regulations, or other factors may affect our ability to control health care costs.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments, receivables, and restricted investments. We invest a substantial portion of our cash in the PFM Fund Prime Series — Institutional Class, and the PFM Fund Government Series. These funds represent a portfolio of highly liquid money market securities that are managed by PFM Asset Management LLC, a Virginia business trust registered as an open-end management investment fund. Our investments and a portion of our cash equivalents are managed by professional portfolio managers operating under documented investment guidelines. No investment that is in a loss position can be sold by our managers without our prior approval. Our investments consist solely of investment grade debt securities with a maximum maturity of 10 years and an average duration of three years or less. Restricted investments are invested principally in certificates of deposit and U.S. treasury securities. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to payors consisting principally of the governments of each state in which our Health Plans segment and our Molina Medicaid Solutions segment operate.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, has concluded, based upon its evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

A description of our legal proceedings is included in and incorporated by reference to Note 15 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Certain risk factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations, and you should carefully consider them. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should be carefully consider the risk factors discussed below, which supplement and should be read together with the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The risk factors described herein and in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico may become unable to pay the premiums of our Puerto Rico health plan.

The government of Puerto Rico currently faces major fiscal and liquidity challenges. The government recently warned that it may “lack sufficient resources to fund all necessary governmental programs and services as well as meet debt service obligations for fiscal year 2016.” Much of the Puerto Rican government’s revenue stream for the first part of its fiscal year, which began on July 1st, is earmarked to redeem revenue bonds. On June 29, 2015, Puerto Rico’s governor, Alejandro Garcia Padilla, stated during a televised address that “the debt is not payable.” Further, the island’s ability to access credit markets appears highly uncertain, and its ability to meet future debt service payments depends in part on the willingness of investors to roll over existing debt.

The extreme financial difficulties faced by the Commonwealth may make it impossible for ASES, the Puerto Rico Medicaid agency, to pay our Puerto Rico health plan under the terms of the parties’ Medicaid contract. As of June 30, 2015, our Puerto Rico health plan served approximately 361,000 members, and had recognized premium revenue of approximately $194 million in the second quarter of 2015, or approximately $65 million per month. A default by ASES on its payment obligations under our Medicaid contract, or a determination by ASES to terminate our contract based on insufficient funds available, could result in our having paid, or in our having to pay, provider claims in amounts for which we are not paid reimbursement, and could make it unfeasible for the Puerto Rico health plan to continue to operate. A default by ASES or termination of our Puerto Rico Medicaid contract could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

Changes to health care regulatory laws under the Affordable Care Act including the recently proposed Medicaid managed care rule, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

The health care regulatory law landscape is constantly changing. For example, on May 26, 2015, CMS posted a new proposed rule to the Federal Register regarding Medicaid programs and CHIP, Medicaid Managed Care, CHIP Delivered in Managed Care, Medicaid and CHIP Comprehensive Quality Strategies, and Revisions Related to Third Party Liability that, if implemented, would, among other things, impose a medical loss ratio of 85% for Medicaid and CHIP programs, establish a Medicaid managed care quality rating system like the five-star system for Medicare Advantage plans, and expand health plans’ responsibilities in program integrity efforts. It is difficult to predict what final rules may be adopted and implemented by CMS, and if the final rule would result in any material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

If the responsive bids of our health plans (including our Michigan health plan) for new or renewed Medicaid contracts are not successful, or if our government contracts are terminated or are not renewed, our premium revenues could be materially reduced and our operating results could be negatively impacted.

Our government contracts may be subject to periodic competitive bidding. In such process, our health plans may face competition as other plans, many with greater financial resources and greater name recognition, attempt to enter our markets through the competitive bidding process. In the event the responsive bid of one or more of our health plans is not successful, we will lose our Medicaid contract in the applicable state or states, and our premium revenues could be materially reduced as a result. Alternatively, even if our responsive bids are successful, the bids may be based upon assumptions regarding enrollment, utilization, medical costs, or other factors which could result in the Medicaid contract being less profitable than we had expected.

Our Michigan Medicaid contract is subject to a new RFP that was released on May 8, 2015. If we are successful in our attempt to renew this contract, we expect that the new contract will become effective on January 1, 2016. If our attempt to renew this contract is not successful, the contract will terminate effective December 31, 2015. If we are unable to renew,

Table of Contents

successfully re-bid, or compete for any of our government contracts, including our Michigan contract, or if any of our contracts are terminated or renewed on less favorable terms, our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations could be adversely affected.

We are subject to extensive fraud and abuse laws that may give rise to lawsuits and claims against us, the outcome of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

Because we receive payments from federal and state governmental agencies, we are subject to various laws commonly referred to as “fraud and abuse” laws, including federal and state anti-kickback statutes, prohibited referrals, the federal False Claims Act, which permit agencies and enforcement authorities to institute suit against us for violations and, in some cases, to seek treble damages, criminal and civil fines, penalties, and assessments. Violations of these laws can also result in exclusion, debarment, temporary or permanent suspension from participation in government health care programs, or the institution of corporate integrity agreements. Liability under such federal and state statutes and regulations may arise if we know, or it is found that we should have known, that information we provide to form the basis for a claim for government payment is false or fraudulent, and some courts have permitted False Claims Act suits to proceed if the claimant was out of compliance with program requirements. Fraud, waste and abuse prohibitions encompass a wide range of operating activities, including kickbacks or other inducements for referral of members or for the coverage of products (such as prescription drugs) by a plan, billing for unnecessary medical services by a provider, improper marketing, and the violation of patient privacy rights. Companies involved in public health care programs such as Medicaid and Medicare are required to maintain compliance programs to detect and deter fraud, waste and abuse, and are often the subject of fraud, waste and abuse investigations and audits. The regulations and contractual requirements applicable to participants in these public-sector programs are complex and subject to change. The federal government has taken the position that claims presented in violation of the federal anti-kickback statute may be considered a violation of the federal False Claims Act. In addition, under the federal civil monetary penalty statute, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Inspector General has the authority to impose civil penalties against any person who, among other things, knowingly presents, or causes to be presented, certain false or otherwise improper claims. Qui tam actions under federal and state law can be brought by any individual on behalf of the government. Qui tam actions have increased significantly in recent years, causing greater numbers of health care companies to have to defend a false claim action, pay fines, or be excluded from the Medicare, Medicaid, or other state or federal health care programs as a result of an investigation arising out of such action. We are currently defending two qui tam actions where the federal government has declined to intervene: (i) USA ex rel Anita Silingo v. Mobile Medical Examination Service, Molina Healthcare of California, et al; and (ii) USA and State of Florida ex rel Charles Wilhelm v. Molina Healthcare and Molina Healthcare of Florida. We believe we have meritorious defenses to both matters, and intend to defend both matters vigorously. Other qui tam actions may have been filed against us of which we are presently unaware, or other qui tam actions may be filed against us in the future. In the event we are subject to liability under these or other qui tam actions, our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations could be adversely affected.

Unforeseen changes in pharmaceutical regulations or market conditions may impact our revenues and adversely affect our results of operations.

A significant category of our health care costs relate to pharmaceutical products and services. Evolving regulations and state and federal mandates regarding coverage may impact the ability of our health plans to continue to receive existing price discounts on pharmaceutical products for our members. Other factors affecting our pharmaceutical costs include, but are not limited to, the price of pharmaceuticals, geographic variation in utilization of new and existing pharmaceuticals, and changes in discounts. The unpredictable nature of these factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

Our use and disclosure of individually identifiable information, including health information, is subject to federal and state privacy and security regulations, and our failure to comply with those regulations or to adequately secure the information we hold could result in significant liability or reputational harm.

State and federal laws and regulations, including HIPAA and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, govern the collection, dissemination, use, privacy, confidentiality, security, availability, and integrity of individually identifiable information, including protected health information, or PHI. HIPAA establishes basic national privacy and security standards for protection of PHI by covered entities, including health plans such as ours. HIPAA requires covered entities like us to develop and maintain policies and procedures for PHI that is used or disclosed, and to adopt administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect PHI. HIPAA also implemented the use of standard transaction code sets and standard identifiers that covered entities must use when submitting or receiving certain electronic health care transactions, including activities associated with the billing and collection of health care claims.

Mandatory penalties for HIPAA violations range from $100 to $50,000 per violation, and up to $1.5 million per violation of the same standard per calendar year. A single breach incident can result in violations of multiple standards, resulting in possible penalties potentially in excess of $1.5 million. If a person knowingly or intentionally obtains or discloses PHI in

Table of Contents

violation of HIPAA requirements, criminal penalties may also be imposed. HIPAA authorizes state attorneys general to file suit under HIPAA on behalf of state residents. Courts can award damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases. While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to sue us in civil court for HIPAA violations, its standards have been used as the basis for a duty of care in state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of PHI.

In addition, HIPAA mandates that the Secretary of HHS conduct periodic compliance audits of HIPAA covered entities for compliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Standards. Investigations of violations that indicate willful neglect, for which penalties are now mandatory, are statutorily required. It also tasks HHS with establishing a methodology whereby harmed individuals who were the victims of breaches of unsecured PHI may receive a percentage of the civil monetary penalty fine paid by the violator.

HIPAA further requires covered entities to notify affected individuals “without unreasonable delay and in no case later than 60 calendar days after discovery of the breach” if their unsecured PHI is subject to an unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. If a breach affects 500 patients or more, it must be reported to HHS and local media without unreasonable delay, and HHS will post the name of the breaching entity on its public website. If a breach affects fewer than 500 individuals, the covered entity must log it and notify HHS at least annually. We have experienced HIPAA breaches in the past, including breaches affecting over 500 individuals.

New health information standards, whether implemented pursuant to HIPAA, congressional action, or otherwise, could have a significant effect on the manner in which we must handle health care related data, and the cost of complying with standards could be significant. If we do not comply with existing or new laws and regulations related to PHI, we could be subject to criminal or civil sanctions. Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss, or other unauthorized disclosure or use of confidential member information, whether by us or a third party, such as our vendors, could subject us to civil and criminal penalties, divert management’s time and energy, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

Other large-scale medical emergencies may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations.

Large-scale medical emergencies can take many forms and can cause widespread illness and death. For example, federal and state law enforcement officials have issued warnings about potential terrorist activity involving biological and other weapons. In addition, natural disasters and the potential for a wide-spread pandemic of influenza or other diseases, coupled with the lack of availability of appropriate preventative medicines, can have a significant impact on the health of the population of wide-spread areas. If the United States were to experience widespread bioterrorism or other attacks, large-scale natural disasters in our concentrated coverage areas, or a large-scale pandemic or epidemic, our covered medical expenses could rise and we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations, or, in the event of extreme circumstances, our viability could be threatened.

We may not have the funds necessary to pay the amounts due upon conversion or required repurchase of our outstanding notes, and our indebtedness may contain limitations on our ability to pay the amounts due upon conversion or required repurchase.

In February 2013, we issued $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.125% cash convertible senior notes due January 15, 2020, unless earlier repurchased or converted. We refer to these notes as our 1.125% Notes. In September 2014, we issued $301.6 million aggregate principal amount of 1.625% convertible senior notes due August 14, 2044, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted. We refer to these notes as our 1.625% Notes. As of June 30, 2015, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of our 1.125% Notes and our 1.625% Notes was $550.0 million and $301.6 million, respectively. Both our 1.125% Notes and our 1.625% Notes are convertible into cash prior to their respective maturity dates under certain situations, one of which relates to the closing price of our common stock over a specified period. We refer to this conversion trigger as the stock price trigger. The 1.125% Notes met the stock price trigger in the quarter ended June 30, 2015, and are convertible to cash through at least September 30, 2015. Because the 1.125% Notes may be converted into cash within 12 months, the $445.2 million carrying amount is reported in current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2015. In addition, holders of our 1.625% Notes may convert their notes into cash during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) if the last reported sales price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to $75.52 per share. The last reported sale price of our common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on July 29, 2015 was $68.83 per share. As of June 30, 2015, our 1.625% Notes were not convertible. If conversion requests are received, the settlement of the notes must be paid primarily in cash pursuant to the terms of the relevant indentures.

For economic reasons related to the trading market for our 1.125% Notes, we believe that the amount of the notes that may be converted over the next twelve months, if any, will not be significant. However, if the trading market for our 1.125% Notes becomes closed or restricted due to market turmoil or other reasons such that the notes cannot be traded, or if the trading price

Table of Contents

of our 1.125% Notes, which normally trade at a marginal premium to the underlying composite stock-and-interest economic value, no longer includes that marginal premium, holders of our 1.125% Notes may elect to convert the notes to cash. As of June 30, 2015, we have sufficient available cash, combined with borrowing capacity available under our Credit Facility, to fund such conversions.

In addition, in the event of a change in control or the termination in trading of our stock, each holder of our 1.125% Notes and our 1.625% Notes would have the right to require us to purchase some or all of their notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

In the event of conversions or required repurchases, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to comply with our conversion or repurchase obligations. In addition, our ability to comply with these obligations may be limited by law, by regulatory authority, or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. The indentures for the 1.125% Notes and the 1.625% Notes provide that it would be an event of default if we do not make the cash payments due upon conversion or required repurchase of the notes. The occurrence of an event of default under one or both of these indentures may also constitute an event of default under our Credit Facility and under our other indebtedness we may have outstanding at such time. Any such default could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Share repurchase activity during the three months ended June 30, 2015 was as follows:



	Total Number of Shares Purchased (a)	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (b)
April 1 - April 30	508	$	66.31	—	$	50,000,000
May 1 - May 31	1,453	$	59.55	—	$	50,000,000
June 1 - June 30	388	$	72.27	—	$	50,000,000
Total	2,349	$	63.11	—


(a)	During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we withheld 2,349 shares of common stock under our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan to settle our employees' income tax obligations.

(b)

Effective as of February 25, 2015, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million in aggregate of our common stock. Stock repurchases under this program may be made through open-market and/or privately negotiated transactions at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements and market conditions. This repurchase program extends through December 31, 2015.
