EXHIBIT INDEX Exhibit No. Description 99.1 Press release of Molina Healthcare, Inc. issued August 4, 2004, as to financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004.

                                                                    Exhibit 99.1

Molina Healthcare Reports Second Quarter Results

    LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2004--Molina
Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: MOH), a multi-state managed care organization
providing quality care and accessible services to low-income families
and individuals, today announced results for the second quarter and
six months ended June 30, 2004.
    Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004, was $12.0
million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared with net income for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003, of $10.9 million, or $0.57 per diluted
share. Net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2004 was
calculated based upon diluted shares outstanding of 27.7 million, as
compared with the prior year's 19.2 million diluted shares
outstanding. The increase in diluted shares was principally the result
of the Company's issuance of 7.6 million shares in its July 2003
initial public offering of common stock and 1.8 million shares in its
secondary offering in March 2004, partially offset by share
repurchases. Operating activities provided $12.0 million in cash for
the quarter ended June 30, 2004.
    Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $23.0
million, or $0.86 per diluted share, compared with net income for the
six months ended June 30, 2003, of $18.9 million, or $0.97 per diluted
share. Net income per diluted share for the first six months of 2004
was calculated based upon diluted shares outstanding of 26.8 million,
as compared with the prior year's 19.5 million diluted shares
outstanding. Operating activities provided $24.0 million in cash for
the six months ended June 30, 2004.
    Commenting on recent events, J. Mario Molina, M.D., president and
chief executive officer of Molina Healthcare, stated, "I am pleased
with the execution of our business plan. We are successfully
integrating acquisitions in both new and existing markets. We continue
to leverage our robust and flexible administrative infrastructure
across a growing member base. Excluding premium taxes, SG&A expenses
for the second quarter of 2004 were less than 6% of premium and other
operating revenue. Lastly, the announcement of rate increases in
Michigan to take effect October 1, 2004, coupled with the announcement
of smaller than anticipated reductions to rates in California, suggest
that we will see improved margins and strong results beginning in the
fourth quarter of this year and well into 2005."

    Financial Results - Comparison of Quarters Ended June 30, 2004 and
2003

    Premium revenues for the second quarter of 2004 were $247.5
million, representing an increase of $54.0 million (27.9%) over 2003
premium revenue of $193.5 million.
    Membership growth contributed $38.6 million in increased premium
revenue. Effective June 1, 2004, the Company's Washington HMO added
approximately 56,000 members as a result of its acquisition of the
Healthy Options (Medicaid) and Basic Health Plan contracts of Premera
Blue Cross.
    Increased premium rates contributed an additional $15.4 million in
premium revenue during the second quarter of 2004 when compared with
the same period in 2003. Membership growth in Washington and Michigan,
which have higher premium rates than California, was the primary
source of higher premium rates on a blended basis. During the second
quarter of 2004, the Company recognized $1.1 million of out of period
premium revenue as a result of the publication by the state of
California of new rates for the contract year beginning October 1,
2003. The revenue recognized represents the extent to which rate
reductions expected for the period of October 1, 2003 through March
31, 2004, have been scaled back.
    Medical care costs as a percentage of premium and other operating
revenue (medical care ratio) increased to 84.2% in the second quarter
of 2004 from 82.5% in the second quarter of 2003. Medical care costs
increased in absolute terms to $209.0 million in the second quarter of
2004 from $160.6 million in the second quarter of 2003. Hospital,
specialty and pharmacy costs all increased as a percentage of premium
and other operating revenues. Increases in these costs were partially
the result of changes in contracting arrangements at the Company's
Washington HMO between 2004 and 2003. During the third quarter of
2003, there was a significant shift of membership at the Washington
HMO subsidiary from full risk capitation to fee-for-service contracts,
resulting in a shift from medical costs (where capitation expense is
reported) to hospital, specialty and pharmacy costs.
    The increase in the medical care ratio was most pronounced at the
Company's Michigan HMO. Despite a slight decline in per member per
month medical costs compared with the second quarter of 2003, per
member per month premium revenue declined by a greater amount due to
shifts in the geographic mix of the Company's membership in that
state, as well as shifts between aid categories. This resulted in a
higher medical care ratio in Michigan. The state of Michigan has
announced that actuarially sound premium rates will be implemented
effective October 1, 2004. Based upon available information, the
Company believes that it will receive a blended rate increase of
approximately 10% for its current membership as of that date. The
Company further believes that the anticipated rate increase will
significantly reduce the medical care ratio of its Michigan HMO.
    Temporary increases in utilization among membership acquired from
Premera Blue Cross of Washington effective June 1, 2004, also led to
increased medical care costs in the second quarter of 2004. The
Company has in the past experienced similar temporary increases in
medical care costs for newly acquired blocks of membership.
    Salary, general and administrative expenses were $18.8 million for
the second quarter of 2004, representing 7.6% of operating revenue, as
compared with $15.4 million, or 7.9% of total operating revenue, for
the second quarter of 2003. Excluding premium taxes, SG&A expenses
decreased to 5.9% of operating revenue in the second quarter of 2004
as compared with 6.7% in the second quarter of 2003.

    Financial Results - Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
and 2003

    Premium revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004, were
$465.3 million, representing an increase of $80.4 million (20.9%) over
premium revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003, of $384.9
million.
    Membership growth for the first half of 2004 contributed $63.7
million in increased premium revenue. Excluding the state of Utah,
increased premium rates contributed an additional $21.7 million in
premium revenue during the first half of 2004 when compared with the
same period in 2003.
    Premium revenue increases were partially offset by a $5.0 million
decline in revenue recognized under the Company's cost reimbursement
contract with the state of Utah. This decline in revenue was a direct
result of the Company's successful management of healthcare costs in
that state. Improved healthcare cost management in Utah also led to
the recognition during the first half of 2004 of $1.4 million of
savings sharing income. The savings sharing income is reported as
"other operating revenue" in the Company's Consolidated Income
Statements and represents the estimated savings incentive payments
generated during the period of July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004.
    The medical care ratio increased to 84.2% in the first half of
2004 from 83.7% in the same six-month period of 2003. Medical care
costs increased in absolute terms to $393.3 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2004, from $323.3 million in the same period of 2003.
Hospital, specialty and pharmacy costs all increased as a percentage
of premium and other operating revenues. As noted in the discussion of
quarterly results above, increases in these costs were partially the
result of changes in contracting arrangements at the Company's
Washington HMO between 2004 and 2003. As also noted above, the
increase in the medical care ratio was most pronounced at the
Company's Michigan HMO.
    Salary, general and administrative expenses were $36.3 million for
the first half of 2004, representing 7.7% of operating revenue, as
compared with $30.1 million, or 7.8% of total operating revenue, for
the first half of 2003. Excluding premium taxes, SG&A expenses
decreased to 6.2% of operating revenue for the six months ended June
30, 2004, as compared with 6.8% in the same six-month period of 2003.

    Acquisition Update

    During the second quarter, the Company announced that it had
completed its acquisition of the Healthy Options (Medicaid) and Basic
Health Plan contracts of Premera Blue Cross, adding approximately
56,000 members to the Company's Washington HMO. In addition, on July
1, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of Health Care
Horizons, Inc., the parent company of New Mexico-based Cimarron Health
Plan, adding approximately 66,000 Salud (Medicaid) members. Effective
as of August 1, 2004, Cimarron changed its name to Molina Healthcare
of New Mexico, Inc.
    On June 21, 2004, the Company announced that the Rehabilitator of
The Wellness Plan of Michigan has petitioned for approval to sell to
the Company the rights to serve over 85,000 Wellness Plan members
located in several counties. Closing of the transaction remains
subject to purchase price adjustments and the negotiation of a
definitive agreement. However, the Company anticipates the transaction
to close in the fourth quarter of 2004.

    Cash Flow

    Operating activities provided $12.0 million in cash for the
quarter ended June 30, 2004. Sequentially, the Company's days in
claims payable also decreased from 53 days at the end of the first
quarter of 2004 to 51 days at the end of the second quarter of 2004.
    Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2004, was $24.0 million, compared with $14.8 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2003.
    At June 30, 2004, the Company had consolidated cash and short-term
investments of approximately $295.5 million. On July 1, 2004, the
Company paid approximately $69.0 million in consideration for Health
Care Horizons and approximately $5.8 million for the settlement of
Health Care Horizons bank debt.

    These tables exclude the Health Care Horizons acquisition, which
added 66,000 Medicaid members to the Company on July 1, 2004, and the
expected addition of up to 85,000 Wellness Plan members anticipated to
occur in the fourth quarter of 2004.

    Guidance

    The Company provides the following guidance for calendar year
2004. This guidance includes the acquisitions of Health Care Horizons,
Inc. and the Medicaid and Basic Health contracts of Premera Blue Cross
of Washington. The commercial line of business of Health Care Horizons
will be treated for accounting purposes as discontinued operations and
is excluded from this guidance. The guidance does not take into
account the anticipated transfer of Michigan Wellness Plan members in
the fourth quarter of 2004.

    Specifically, guidance for calendar year 2004 is:

    --  Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations will be
        in the range of $1.89 to $2.03, consistent with previously
        announced guidance;

    --  Net income from continuing operations will be in the range of
        $52.0 million to $55.8 million;

    --  Premium revenue from continuing operations will be in the
        range of $1.1 billion to $1.15 billion;

    --  The medical care ratio will be in the range of 83.5% to 84.0%
        of premium and other operating revenue; and

    --  Administrative expenses (including premium taxes) will be in
        the range of 7.9% to 8.3% of total revenue.

    These estimates assume an effective tax rate of 37.5%, which does
not take into account any favorable state tax credits the Company
might receive from prior periods during 2004. The Company anticipates
that it will recognize out of year tax benefits during the third
quarter of $0.02 to $0.03 per diluted share, inclusive of associated
tax consulting fees. Management expects weighted average dilutive
shares outstanding of 27.5 million for the year ending December 31,
2004.
    The Company will provide guidance for calendar year 2005 during
its third quarter earnings call in November.
