(Unaudited)

NOTE A—General

Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Magellan Health Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Magellan"), include the accounts of Magellan, its majority owned subsidiaries, and all variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which Magellan is the primary beneficiary (together with Magellan, the "Company"). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

        The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements filed on this Form 10-Q and no events have occurred that require disclosure.

        These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2011.

Business Overview

        The Company is engaged in the specialty managed healthcare business. Through 2005, the Company predominantly operated in the managed behavioral healthcare business. As a result of certain acquisitions, the Company expanded into radiology benefits management and specialty pharmaceutical management during 2006, and into Medicaid administration during 2009. The Company provides services to health plans, insurance companies, employers, labor unions and various governmental agencies. The Company's business is divided into the following six segments, based on the services it provides and/or the customers that it serves, as described below.

Managed Behavioral Healthcare

        Two of the Company's segments are in the managed behavioral healthcare business. This line of business generally reflects the Company's coordination and management of the delivery of behavioral healthcare treatment services that are provided through its contracted network of third-party treatment providers, which includes psychiatrists, psychologists, other behavioral health professionals, psychiatric hospitals, general medical facilities with psychiatric beds, residential treatment centers and other treatment facilities. The treatment services provided through the Company's provider network include outpatient programs (such as counseling or therapy), intermediate care programs (such as intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization services), inpatient treatment and crisis intervention services. The Company generally does not directly provide, or own any provider of, treatment services except as related to the Company's contract to provide managed behavioral healthcare services to

Medicaid recipients and other beneficiaries of the Maricopa County Regional Behavioral Health Authority (the "Maricopa Contract"). Under the Maricopa Contract, effective August 31, 2007 the Company was required to assume the operations of twenty-four behavioral health direct care facilities for a transitional period and to divest itself of these facilities over a two year period. All of the direct care facilities were divested as of December 31, 2009.

        The Company provides its management services primarily through: (i) risk-based products, where the Company assumes all or a substantial portion of the responsibility for the cost of providing treatment services in exchange for a fixed per member per month fee, (ii) administrative services only ("ASO") products, where the Company provides services such as utilization review, claims administration and/or provider network management, but does not assume responsibility for the cost of the treatment services, and (iii) employee assistance programs ("EAPs") where the Company provides short-term outpatient behavioral counseling services.

        The managed behavioral healthcare business is managed based on the services provided and/or the customers served, through the following two segments:

        Commercial.    The Managed Behavioral Healthcare Commercial segment ("Commercial") generally reflects managed behavioral healthcare services and EAP services provided under contracts with health plans and insurance companies for some or all of their commercial, Medicaid and Medicare members, as well as with employers, including corporations, governmental agencies, and labor unions. Commercial's contracts encompass risk-based, ASO and EAP arrangements.

        Public Sector.    The Managed Behavioral Healthcare Public Sector segment ("Public Sector") generally reflects services provided to recipients under Medicaid and other state sponsored programs under contracts with state and local governmental agencies. Public Sector contracts encompass either risk-based or ASO arrangements.

Radiology Benefits Management

        The Radiology Benefits Management segment ("Radiology Benefits Management") generally reflects the management of the delivery of diagnostic imaging services to ensure that such services are clinically appropriate and cost effective. The Company's radiology benefits management services currently are provided under contracts with health plans and insurance companies for some or all of their commercial, Medicaid and Medicare members. The Company also contracts with state and local governmental agencies for the provision of such services to Medicaid recipients. The Company offers its radiology benefits management services through risk-based contracts, where the Company assumes all or a substantial portion of the responsibility for the cost of providing diagnostic imaging services, and through ASO contracts, where the Company provides services such as utilization review and claims administration, but does not assume responsibility for the cost of the imaging services.

Specialty Pharmaceutical Management

        The Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment ("Specialty Pharmaceutical Management") comprises programs that manage specialty drugs used in the treatment of complex conditions such as,

cancer, multiple sclerosis, hemophilia, infertility, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic forms of hepatitis and other diseases. Specialty pharmaceutical drugs represent high-cost injectible, infused, oral, or inhaled drugs with sensitive handling or storage needs, many of which may be physician administered. Patients receiving these drugs require greater amounts of clinical support than those taking more traditional agents. Payors require clinical, financial and technological support to maximize the value delivered to their members using these expensive agents. The Company's specialty pharmaceutical management services are provided under contracts with health plans, insurance companies, and governmental agencies for some or all of their commercial, Medicare and Medicaid members. The Company's specialty pharmaceutical services include: (i) contracting and formulary optimization programs; (ii) specialty pharmaceutical dispensing operations; (iii) strategic consulting services; and (iv) medical pharmacy management programs.

Medicaid Administration

        The Medicaid Administration segment ("Medicaid Administration") generally reflects integrated clinical management services provided to the public sector to manage Medicaid pharmacy, mental health and long-term care programs. The primary focus of the Company's Medicaid Administration unit involves providing pharmacy benefits administration ("PBA") services under contracts with states to Medicaid and other state sponsored program recipients. Medicaid Administration's contracts encompass Fee-For-Service ("FFS") arrangements. In addition to Medicaid Administration's FFS contracts, effective September 1, 2010, Public Sector has subcontracted with Medicaid Administration to provide pharmacy benefits management services on a limited risk basis for one of Public Sector's customers.

Corporate

        This segment of the Company is comprised primarily of operational support functions such as sales and marketing and information technology, as well as corporate support functions such as executive, finance, human resources and legal.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update, ("ASU"), No. 2010-24, "Health Care Entities—Presentation of Insurance Claims and Related Insurance Recoveries" ("ASU 2010-24"). ASU 2010-24 clarifies that a health care entity should not net insurance recoveries against a related claim liability. Additionally, the amount of the claim liability should be determined without consideration of insurance recoveries. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Accordingly, the Company adopted ASU 2010-24 on January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

        In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2011-05"). ASU 2011-05 requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other

NOTE A—General (Continued)

comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements and eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. While the adoption of this guidance is expected to impact the Company's disclosures for annual and interim filings for the year ending December 31, 2012, it will not have an impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates of the Company include, among other things, accounts receivable realization, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, medical claims payable, other medical liabilities, stock compensation assumptions, tax contingencies and legal liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Managed Care Revenue

        Managed care revenue, inclusive of revenue from the Company's risk, EAP and ASO contracts, is recognized over the applicable coverage period on a per member basis for covered members. The Company is paid a per member fee for all enrolled members, and this fee is recorded as revenue in the month in which members are entitled to service. The Company adjusts its revenue for retroactive membership terminations, additions and other changes, when such adjustments are identified, with the exception of retroactivity that can be reasonably estimated. The impact of retroactive rate amendments is generally recorded in the accounting period that terms to the amendment are finalized, and that the amendment is executed. Any fees paid prior to the month of service are recorded as deferred revenue. Managed care revenues approximated $610.3 million and $1,784.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $533.3 million and $1,627.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Fee-For-Service and Cost-Plus Contracts

        The Company has certain FFS contracts, including cost-plus contracts, with customers under which the Company recognizes revenue as services are performed and as costs are incurred. Revenues from fee-for-service and cost-plus contracts approximated $47.0 million and $145.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $45.0 million and $131.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

NOTE A—General (Continued)

Block Grant Revenues

        The Maricopa Contract is partially funded by federal, state and county block grant money, which represents annual appropriations. The Company recognizes revenue from block grant activity ratably over the period to which the block grant funding applies. Block grant revenues were approximately $26.0 million and $82.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $31.8 million and $85.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Dispensing Revenue

        The Company recognizes dispensing revenue, which includes the co-payments received from members of the health plans the Company serves, when the specialty pharmaceutical drugs are shipped. At the time of shipment, the earnings process is complete; the obligation of the Company's customer to pay for the specialty pharmaceutical drugs is fixed, and, due to the nature of the product, the member may neither return the specialty pharmaceutical drugs nor receive a refund. Revenues from the dispensing of specialty pharmaceutical drugs on behalf of health plans were $58.6 million and $178.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $61.8 million and $178.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Performance-Based Revenue

        The Company has the ability to earn performance-based revenue under certain risk and non-risk contracts. Performance-based revenue generally is based on either the ability of the Company to manage care for its clients below specified targets, or on other operating metrics. For each such contract, the Company estimates and records performance-based revenue after considering the relevant contractual terms and the data available for the performance-based revenue calculation. Pro-rata performance-based revenue is recognized on an interim basis pursuant to the rights and obligations of each party upon termination of the contracts. Performance-based revenues were $2.9 million and $8.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $2.4 million and $15.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

The customer has informed the Company that this contract will not be renewed.

This customer represents a subcontract with a Public Sector customer and is eliminated in consolidation.

        The Company also has a significant concentration of business with various counties in the State of Pennsylvania (the "Pennsylvania Counties") which are part of the Pennsylvania Medicaid program, and with various areas in the State of Florida (the "Florida Areas") which are part of the Florida Medicaid program. Net revenues from the Pennsylvania Counties in the aggregate totaled $255.0 million and $265.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Net revenues from the Florida Areas in the aggregate totaled $106.0 million and $100.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

        The Company's contracts with customers typically have terms of one to three years, and in certain cases contain renewal provisions (at the customer's option) for successive terms of between one and two years (unless terminated earlier). Substantially all of these contracts may be immediately terminated with cause and many of the Company's contracts are terminable without cause by the customer or the Company either upon the giving of requisite notice and the passage of a specified period of time (typically between 60 and 180 days) or upon the occurrence of other specified events. In addition, the Company's contracts with federal, state and local governmental agencies generally are conditioned on legislative appropriations. These contracts generally can be terminated or modified by the customer if such appropriations are not made.

Fair Value Measurements

        The Company currently does not have non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities are to be measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy, which are as follows:

NOTE A—General (Continued)

        All of the Company's investments are classified as "available-for-sale" and are carried at fair value. Securities which have been classified as Level 1 are measured using quoted market prices while those which have been classified as Level 2 are measured using quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets. The Company's policy is to classify all investments with contractual maturities within one year as current. Investment income is recognized when earned and reported net of investment expenses. Net unrealized holding gains or losses are excluded from earnings and are reported, net of tax, as "accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income until realized, unless the losses are deemed to be other-than-temporary. Realized gains or losses, including any provision for other-than-temporary declines in value, are included in the consolidated statements of income.

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

        The credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment is determined by comparing the net present value of projected future cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The net present value is calculated by discounting the best estimate of projected future cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security at the date of acquisition. Cash flow estimates are driven by assumptions regarding probability of default, including changes in credit ratings, and estimates regarding timing and amount of recoveries associated with a default. Furthermore, unrealized losses entirely caused by non-credit related factors related to debt securities for which the Company expects to fully recover the amortized cost basis continue to be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.

        As of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, there were no unrealized losses that the Company believed to be other-than-temporary. No realized gains or losses were recorded for the nine

Income Taxes

        The Company's effective income tax rates were 40.3 percent and 34.0 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory income

tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, permanent differences between book and tax income, and changes to recorded tax contingencies. The Company also accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is lower than the effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 mainly due to more significant reversals of tax contingencies in the current year as a result of closure of statutes of limitation.

        The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return for the Company and its eighty percent or more owned subsidiaries, and the Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in various states and local jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state or local income tax assessments by tax authorities for years ended prior to December 31, 2007. Further, the statutes of limitation regarding the assessment of federal and certain state and local income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2007 expired during the current quarter. As a result, $9.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest costs) recorded as of December 31, 2010 was reversed in the current quarter as a result of statute expirations, $8.1 million of which is reflected as a discrete adjustment to the effective rate.

Stock Compensation

        At December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, the Company had equity-based employee incentive plans, which are described more fully in Note 6 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $3.6 million and $11.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $4.4 million and $13.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Stock compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011 has been reduced for estimated forfeitures, estimated at five percent and four percent, respectively.

        The weighted average grant date fair value of all stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $12.94 as estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which also assumed an expected volatility of 29.9 percent based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock price.

        The benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized stock compensation expense are reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, $0 million and $2.1 million of benefits of such tax deductions related to stock compensation expense were realized and as such were reported as financing cash flows, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 the change to additional paid in capital related to tax benefits (deficiencies) was $(0.8) million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the change to additional paid in capital related to tax benefits (deficiencies) was $1.8 million which includes the $2.1 million of excess tax benefits offset by $(0.3) million of tax deficiencies.

Long Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations

        On April 28, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG, Citibank, N.A., and Bank of America, N.A. that provided for an $80.0 million Revolving Loan Commitment for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company with a sublimit of up to $30.0 million for revolving loans (the "2010 Credit Facility"). Borrowings under the 2010 Credit Facility mature on April 28, 2013. The 2010 Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the subsidiaries of the Company and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors.

        Under the 2010 Credit Facility, the annual interest rate on Revolving Loan borrowings is equal to (i) in the case of U.S. dollar denominated loans, the sum of a borrowing margin of 1.75 percent plus the higher of the prime rate or one-half of one percent in excess of the overnight "federal funds" rate, or (ii) in the case of Eurodollar denominated loans, the sum of a borrowing margin of 2.75 percent plus the Eurodollar rate for the selected interest period. The Company has the option to borrow in U.S. dollar denominated loans or Eurodollar denominated loans at its discretion. Letters of Credit issued under the Revolving Loan Commitment bear interest at the rate of 2.875 percent. The commitment commission on the 2010 Credit Facility is 0.50 percent of the unused Revolving Loan Commitment.

        There were $0.6 million of capital lease obligations at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively, $44.9 million and $36.2 million of letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively, and no Revolving Loan borrowings at December 31, 2010 or September 30, 2011.

        The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011 were calculated using outstanding shares of the Company's Ordinary Common Stock. Common stock equivalents included in the calculation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011 represent stock options to purchase shares of the Company's Ordinary Common Stock, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, stock to be purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and shares of Ordinary Common Stock related to certain warrants issued on January 5, 2004.

        The Company had additional potential dilutive securities outstanding representing 1.2 million and 1.9 million options, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, and 1.1 million and 0.9 million options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, that were not included in the computation of dilutive securities because they were anti-dilutive for the period. Had these shares not been anti-dilutive, all of these shares would not have been included in the net income per common share calculation as the Company uses the treasury stock method of calculating diluted shares.

NOTE D—Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

        The management and administration of the delivery of specialty managed healthcare entails significant risks of liability. From time to time, the Company is subject to various actions and claims arising from the acts or omissions of its employees, network providers or other parties. In the normal course of business, the Company receives reports relating to deaths and other serious incidents involving patients whose care is being managed by the Company. Such incidents occasionally give rise to malpractice, professional negligence and other related actions and claims against the Company or its network providers. Many of these actions and claims received by the Company seek substantial damages and therefore require the Company to incur significant fees and costs related to their defense. The Company is also subject to or party to certain class actions, litigation and claims relating to its operations and business practices. In the opinion of management, the Company has recorded reserves that are adequate to cover litigation, claims or assessments that have been or may be asserted against the Company, and for which the outcome is probable and reasonably estimable. Management believes that the resolution of such litigation and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations; however, there can be no assurance in this regard.

Stock Repurchases

        On July 27, 2010 the Company's board of directors approved a stock repurchase plan which authorizes the Company to purchase up to $350 million of its outstanding common stock through July 28, 2012. On February 18, 2011, the Company's board of directors increased the stock repurchase program by an additional $100 million, to a total of $450 million.

        Stock repurchases under the program may be executed through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases or other means. The board of directors authorized management to execute stock repurchase transactions from time to time and in such amounts and via such methods as management deems appropriate. The stock repurchase program may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. Pursuant to this program, the Company made open market purchases of 1,684,510 shares of the Company's common stock at an average price of $48.36 per share for an aggregate cost of $81.5 million (excluding broker commissions) during the period from November 3, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

        Pursuant to this program, the Company made open market purchases of 6,728,222 shares of the Company's common stock at an average price of $48.74 per share for an aggregate cost of $327.9 million (excluding broker commissions) during the period January 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011.

        During the period from October 1, 2011 through October 24, 2011, the Company made additional open market purchases of 517,705 shares of the Company's common stock at an aggregate cost of $25.6 million, excluding broker commissions.

Business Overview

        The Company is engaged in the specialty managed healthcare business. Through 2005, the Company predominantly operated in the managed behavioral healthcare business. As a result of certain acquisitions, the Company expanded into radiology benefits management and specialty pharmaceutical management during 2006, and into Medicaid administration during 2009. The Company provides services to health plans, insurance companies, employers, labor unions and various governmental agencies. The Company's business is divided into the following six segments, based on the services it provides and/or the customers that it serves, as described below.

Managed Behavioral Healthcare

        Two of the Company's segments are in the managed behavioral healthcare business. This line of business generally reflects the Company's coordination and management of the delivery of behavioral healthcare treatment services that are provided through its contracted network of third-party treatment providers, which includes psychiatrists, psychologists, other behavioral health professionals, psychiatric hospitals, general medical facilities with psychiatric beds, residential treatment centers and other treatment facilities. The treatment services provided through the Company's provider network include outpatient programs (such as counseling or therapy), intermediate care programs (such as intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization services), inpatient treatment and crisis intervention services. The Company generally does not directly provide, or own any provider of, treatment services except as related to the Company's Maricopa Contract. Under the Maricopa Contract, effective August 31, 2007 the Company was required to assume the operations of twenty-four behavioral health direct care facilities for a transitional period and to divest itself of these facilities over a two year period. All of the direct care facilities were divested as of December 31, 2009.

        The Company provides its management services primarily through: (i) risk-based products, where the Company assumes all or a substantial portion of the responsibility for the cost of providing

26


Table of Contents

treatment services in exchange for a fixed per member per month fee, (ii) ASO products, where the Company provides services such as utilization review, claims administration and/or provider network management, but does not assume responsibility for the cost of the treatment services, and (iii) EAPs where the Company provides short-term outpatient behavioral counseling services.

        The managed behavioral healthcare business is managed based on the services provided and/or the customers served, through the following two segments:

        Commercial.    The Commercial segment generally reflects managed behavioral healthcare services and EAP services provided under contracts with health plans and insurance companies for some or all of their commercial, Medicaid and Medicare members, as well as with employers, including corporations, governmental agencies, and labor unions. Commercial's contracts encompass risk-based, ASO and EAP arrangements. As of September 30, 2011, Commercial's covered lives were 3.7 million, 12.9 million and 12.6 million for risk-based, ASO and EAP products, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Commercial's revenue was $281.5 million, $73.0 million and $70.6 million for risk-based, ASO and EAP products, respectively.

        Public Sector.    The Public Sector segment generally reflects services provided to recipients under Medicaid and other state sponsored programs under contracts with state and local governmental agencies. Public Sector contracts encompass either risk-based or ASO arrangements. As of September 30, 2011, Public Sector's covered lives were 1.7 million and 0.3 million for risk-based and ASO products, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Public Sector's revenue was $1.1 billion and $4.4 million for risk-based and ASO products, respectively.

Radiology Benefits Management

        The Radiology Benefits Management segment generally reflects the management of the delivery of diagnostic imaging services to ensure that such services are clinically appropriate and cost effective. The Company's radiology benefits management services currently are provided under contracts with health plans and insurance companies for some or all of their commercial, Medicaid and Medicare members. The Company also contracts with state and local governmental agencies for the provision of such services to Medicaid recipients. The Company offers its radiology benefits management services through risk-based contracts, where the Company assumes all or a substantial portion of the responsibility for the cost of providing diagnostic imaging services, and through ASO contracts, where the Company provides services such as utilization review and claims administration, but does not assume responsibility for the cost of the imaging services. As of September 30, 2011, covered lives for Radiology Benefits Management were 4.3 million and 12.0 million for risk-based and ASO products, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, revenue for Radiology Benefits Management was $222.5 million and $36.0 million for risk-based and ASO products, respectively.

Specialty Pharmaceutical Management

        The Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment comprises programs that manage specialty drugs used in the treatment of complex conditions such as, cancer, multiple sclerosis, hemophilia, infertility, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic forms of hepatitis and other diseases. Specialty pharmaceutical drugs represent high-cost injectible, infused, oral, or inhaled drugs with sensitive handling or storage needs, many of which may be physician administered. Patients receiving these drugs require greater amounts of clinical support than those taking more traditional agents. Payors require clinical, financial and technological support to maximize the value delivered to their members using these expensive agents. The Company's specialty pharmaceutical management services are provided under contracts with health plans, insurance companies, and governmental agencies for some or all of their commercial, Medicare and Medicaid members. The Company's specialty pharmaceutical services include: (i) contracting and formulary optimization programs; (ii) specialty pharmaceutical dispensing

27


Table of Contents


operations; (iii) strategic consulting services; and (iv) medical pharmacy management programs. The Company's Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment had contracts with 41 health plans and several pharmaceutical manufacturers and state Medicaid programs as of September 30, 2011.

Medicaid Administration

        The Medicaid Administration segment generally reflects integrated clinical management services provided to the public sector to manage Medicaid pharmacy, mental health and long-term care programs. The primary focus of the Company's Medicaid Administration unit involves providing PBA services under contracts with states to Medicaid and other state sponsored program recipients. Medicaid Administration's contracts encompass FFS arrangements. In addition to Medicaid Administration's FFS contracts, effective September 1, 2010, Public Sector has subcontracted with Medicaid Administration to provide pharmacy benefits management services on a limited risk basis for one of Public Sector's customers.

Corporate

        This segment of the Company is comprised primarily of operational support functions such as sales and marketing and information technology, as well as corporate support functions such as executive, finance, human resources and legal.

Significant Customers

        The Maricopa Contract generated net revenues that exceeded, in the aggregate, ten percent of net revenues for the consolidated Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011.

        Pursuant to the Maricopa Contract, the Company provides behavioral healthcare management and other related services to approximately 719,000 members in Maricopa County, Arizona. Under the Maricopa Contract, the Company is responsible for providing covered behavioral health services to persons eligible under Title XIX (Medicaid) and Title XXI (State Children's Health Insurance Program) of the Social Security Act, non-Title XIX and non-Title XXI eligible children and adults with a serious mental illness, and to certain non-Title XIX and non-Title XXI adults with behavioral health or substance abuse disorders. The Maricopa Contract began on September 1, 2007 and extends through September 30, 2013 unless sooner terminated by the parties. The State of Arizona has the right to terminate the Maricopa Contract for cause, as defined, upon ten days' notice with an opportunity to cure, and without cause immediately upon notice from the State. The Maricopa Contract generated net revenues of $602.4 million and $570.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

        One of the Company's top ten customers during 2010 was WellPoint, Inc. The Company recorded net revenue from contracts with WellPoint, Inc. of $130.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The Company's contracts with WellPoint, Inc. terminated on December 31, 2010.

Table of Contents

        The Company also has a significant concentration of business with the Pennsylvania Counties which are part of the Pennsylvania Medicaid program, and with the Florida Areas which are part of the Florida Medicaid program. Net revenues from the Pennsylvania Counties in the aggregate totaled $255.0 million and $265.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Net revenues from the Florida Areas in the aggregate totaled $106.0 million and $100.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

        The Company's contracts with customers typically have terms of one to three years, and in certain cases contain renewal provisions (at the customer's option) for successive terms of between one and two years (unless terminated earlier). Substantially all of these contracts may be immediately terminated with cause and many of the Company's contracts are terminable without cause by the customer or the Company either upon the giving of requisite notice and the passage of a specified period of time (typically between 60 and 180 days) or upon the occurrence of other specified events. In addition, the Company's contracts with federal, state and local governmental agencies generally are conditioned on legislative appropriations. These contracts generally can be terminated or modified by the customer if such appropriations are not made.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates of the Company include, among other things, accounts receivable realization, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, medical claims payable, other medical liabilities, stock compensation assumptions, tax contingencies and legal liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Except as noted below, the Company's critical accounting policies are summarized in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2011.

Income Taxes

        The Company's effective income tax rates were 40.3 percent and 34.0 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, permanent differences between book and tax income, and changes to recorded tax contingencies. The Company also accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is lower than the effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 mainly due to more significant reversals of tax contingencies in the current year as a result of closure of statutes of limitation.

        The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return for the Company and its eighty percent or more owned subsidiaries, and the Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in various states and local jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state or local income tax assessments by tax authorities for years ended prior to December 31, 2007. Further, the statutes of limitation regarding the assessment of federal and certain state and local income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2007 expired during the current quarter. As a result, $9.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest costs) recorded as of December 31, 2010 was reversed in the current quarter as a result of statute expirations, $8.1 million of which is reflected as a discrete adjustment to the effective rate.

As a result, $9.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest costs) recorded as of December 31, 2010 was reversed in the Current Year Period as a result of statute expirations, $8.1 million of which is reflected as a discrete adjustment to the effective rate.

Outlook—Results of Operations

        The Company's Segment Profit and net income are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period. These fluctuations may result from a variety of factors such as those set forth under Item 1A—"Risk Factors" as well as a variety of other factors including: (i) changes in utilization levels by enrolled members of the Company's risk-based contracts, including seasonal utilization patterns; (ii) contractual adjustments and settlements; (iii) retrospective membership adjustments; (iv) timing of implementation of new contracts, enrollment changes and contract terminations; (v) pricing adjustments upon contract renewals (and price competition in general); and (vi) changes in estimates regarding medical costs and IBNR.

        A portion of the Company's business is subject to rising care costs due to an increase in the number and frequency of covered members seeking behavioral healthcare or radiology services, and higher costs per inpatient day or outpatient visit for behavioral services, and higher costs per scan for radiology services. Many of these factors are beyond the Company's control. Future results of operations will be heavily dependent on management's ability to obtain customer rate increases that are consistent with care cost increases and/or to reduce operating expenses.

        In relation to the managed behavioral healthcare business, the Company is a market leader in a mature market with many viable competitors. The Company is continuing its attempts to grow its business in the managed behavioral healthcare industry through aggressive marketing and development of new products; however, due to the maturity of the market, the Company believes that the ability to grow its current business lines may be limited. In addition, as previously discussed, substantially all of the Company's Commercial segment revenues are derived from Blue Cross Blue Shield health plans and other managed care companies, health insurers and health plans. Certain of the managed care customers of the Company have decided not to renew all or part of their contracts with the Company, and to instead manage the behavioral healthcare services directly for their subscribers.

        Care Trends.    The Company expects that the care trend factors for 2011 will be approximately 9 percent, 0 percent and 0 percent for Commercial, Public Sector and Radiology Benefits Management, respectively.

        Interest Rate Risk.    Changes in interest rates affect interest income earned on the Company's cash equivalents and investments, as well as interest expense on variable interest rate borrowings under the Company's 2010 Credit Facility. Based on the amount of cash equivalents and investments and the borrowing levels under the 2010 Credit Facility as of September 30, 2011, a hypothetical 10 percent increase or decrease in the interest rate associated with these instruments, with all other variables held constant, would not materially affect the Company's future earnings and cash outflows.

Historical—Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Operating Activities.    The Company reported net cash provided by operating activities of $254.3 million and $96.1 million for the Prior Year Period and Current Year Period, respectively. The $158.2 million decrease in operating cash flows from the Prior Year Period to the Current Year Period is primarily attributable to the decrease in Segment Profit, the net shift of restricted funds between cash and investments that results in an operating cash flow change that is directly offset by an investing cash flow change, and other net unfavorable items primarily associated with working capital changes, partially offset by a reduction in tax payments.

        Segment Profit for the Current Year Period decreased $22.8 million from the Prior Year Period. During the Prior Year Period, $29.1 million of restricted cash was shifted to restricted investments as compared to the Current Year Period, in which $45.7 million of restricted investments were shifted to restricted cash, resulting in a net decrease in operating cash flows between periods of $74.8 million. Operating cash flows for the Prior Year Period were impacted by net favorable working capital changes of $46.2 million as compared to net unfavorable working capital changes of $30.3 million for the Current Year Period. During the Prior Year Period, Radiology Benefits Management had favorable working capital changes associated with the build-up of medical claims payable for new risk business, while Specialty Pharmaceutical Management had favorable working capital changes due to reductions in accounts receivable and inventory balances primarily attributable to timing. During the Current Year Period, Specialty Pharmaceutical Management had unfavorable working capital changes due to increases in account receivable and inventory balances and a reduction in payables primarily attributable to timing. Tax payments for the Current Year Period totaled $35.1 million, which is a reduction of $15.9 million from the Prior Year Period.

        During the Current Year Period, the Company's restricted cash increased $38.8 million. The increase is attributable to the shift of restricted investments of $45.7 million to restricted cash, partially offset by a reduction in restricted cash of $6.6 million associated with the Company's regulated entities and other net decreases of $0.3 million. The net change in restricted cash for the Company's regulated entities is attributable to a reduction in restricted cash of $7.3 million that is offset by changes in other assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable, accrued liabilities, medical claims payable and other

40


Table of Contents


medical liabilities, thus having no impact on operating cash flows, partially offset by a net increase of $0.7 million in restricted cash requirements that resulted in an operating cash flow use.

        Investing Activities.    The Company utilized $32.2 million and $38.5 million during the Prior Year Period and Current Year Period, respectively, for capital expenditures. The additions related to hard assets (equipment, furniture, leaseholds) and capitalized software for the prior year period were $15.6 million and $16.6 million, respectively, as compared to additions for the current year period related to hard assets and capitalized software of $15.5 million and $23.0 million, respectively. During the Prior Year Period, the Company used net cash of $80.4 million for the net purchase of "available for sale" securities, with the Company receiving net cash of $20.2 million during the Current Year Period from the net maturity of "available for sale" investments.

        During the Current Year Period, the Company purchased provider network contracts for $1.3 million that resulted in the establishment of an intangible asset. In addition, during the Current Year Period, the Company received the final working capital settlement of $0.9 million from Coventry in relationship to the Company's acquisition of First Health, Inc.

        Financing Activities.    During the Prior Year Period, the Company paid $74.4 million for the repurchase of treasury stock under the Company's share repurchase program, paid $0.6 million related to capital lease obligations and had other net unfavorable items of $1.6 million. In addition, the Company received $23.1 million from the exercise of stock options and warrants.

        During the Current Year Period, the Company paid $327.9 million for the repurchase of treasury stock under the Company's share repurchase program. In addition, the Company received $20.0 million under a share purchase agreement pursuant to which Blue Shield of California purchased shares of the Company's common stock, received $34.8 million from the exercise of stock options and warrants and had other net favorable items of $0.8 million.

Outlook—Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Liquidity.    During the remainder of 2011, the Company expects to fund its additional estimated capital expenditures of $12 to $22 million with cash from operations. The Company does not anticipate that it will need to draw on amounts available under the 2010 Credit Facility for cash flow needs related to its operations, capital needs or debt service in 2011. The Company also currently expects to have adequate liquidity to satisfy its existing financial commitments over the periods in which they will become due. The Company plans to maintain its current investment strategy of investing in a diversified, high quality, liquid portfolio of investments and continues to closely monitor the situation in the financial markets. The Company estimates that it has no risk of any material permanent loss on its investment portfolio; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience any such losses in the future.

Stock Repurchases

        On July 27, 2010 the Company's board of directors approved a stock repurchase plan which authorizes the Company to purchase up to $350 million of its outstanding common stock through July 28, 2012. On February 18, 2011, the Company's board of directors increased the stock repurchase program by an additional $100 million, to a total of $450 million.

        Stock repurchases under the program may be executed through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases or other means. The board of directors authorized management to execute stock repurchase transactions from time to time and in such amounts and via such methods as management deems appropriate. The stock repurchase program may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. Pursuant to this program, the Company made open market purchases of 1,684,510 shares of the Company's common stock at an average price

41


Table of Contents


of $48.36 per share for an aggregate cost of $81.5 million (excluding broker commissions) during the period from November 3, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

        Pursuant to this program, the Company made open market purchases of 6,728,222 shares of the Company's common stock at an average price of $48.74 per share for an aggregate cost of $327.9 million (excluding broker commissions) during the period January 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011.

        During the period from October 1, 2011 through October 24, 2011, the Company made additional open market purchases of 517,705 shares of the Company's common stock at an aggregate cost of $25.6 million, excluding broker commissions.

        On October 25, 2011 the Company's board of directors approved a stock repurchase plan which authorizes the Company to purchase up to $200 million of its outstanding common stock through October 25, 2013. Stock repurchases under the program may be executed through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases or other means. The board of directors authorized management to execute stock repurchase transactions from time to time and in such amounts and via such methods as management deems appropriate. The stock repurchase program may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice.

        Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.    As of September 30, 2011, the Company has no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

        2010 Credit Facility.    On April 28, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2010 Credit Facility that provided for an $80.0 million Revolving Loan Commitment for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company with a sublimit of up to $30.0 million for revolving loans. Borrowings under the 2010 Credit Facility mature on April 28, 2013. The 2010 Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the subsidiaries of the Company and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors.

        Under the 2010 Credit Facility, the annual interest rate on Revolving Loan borrowings is equal to (i) in the case of U.S. dollar denominated loans, the sum of a borrowing margin of 1.75 percent plus the higher of the prime rate or one-half of one percent in excess of the overnight "federal funds" rate, or (ii) in the case of Eurodollar denominated loans, the sum of a borrowing margin of 2.75 percent plus the Eurodollar rate for the selected interest period. The Company has the option to borrow in U.S. dollar denominated loans or Eurodollar denominated loans at its discretion. Letters of Credit issued under the Revolving Loan Commitment bear interest at the rate of 2.875 percent. The commitment commission on the 2010 Credit Facility is 0.50 percent of the unused Revolving Loan Commitment.

        Restrictive Covenants in Debt Agreements.    The 2010 Credit Facility contains covenants that limit management's discretion in operating the Company's business by restricting or limiting the Company's ability, among other things, to:

42


Table of Contents

        These restrictions could adversely affect the Company's ability to finance future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in the Company's interest.

        The 2010 Credit Facility also requires the Company to comply with specified financial ratios and tests. Failure to do so, unless waived by the lenders under the 2010 Credit Facility pursuant to its terms, would result in an event of default under the 2010 Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants, including financial covenants, under the 2010 Credit Facility.

        Net Operating Loss Carryforwards.    As of December 31, 2010, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") of $5.5 million available to reduce future federal taxable income. These estimated NOLs, if not used, expire in 2011 through 2019 and are subject to examination and adjustment by the IRS. In addition, the Company's utilization of such NOLs is subject to limitation under Section 382, which affects the timing of the use of these NOLs. At this time, the Company does not believe these limitations will limit the Company's ability to use any federal NOLs before they expire.

        As of December 31, 2010, the Company's valuation allowances against deferred tax assets were $5.3 million, mostly relating to uncertainties regarding the eventual realization of certain state NOLs. Determination of the amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable requires significant judgment and estimation. Changes in these estimates in the future could materially affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-24, which clarifies that a health care entity should not net insurance recoveries against a related claim liability. Additionally, the amount of the claim liability should be determined without consideration of insurance recoveries. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Accordingly, the Company adopted ASU 2010-24 on January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

        In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements and eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. While the adoption of this guidance is expected to impact the Company's disclosures for annual and interim filings for the year ending December 31, 2012, it will not have an impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

        Changes in interest rates affect interest income earned on the Company's cash equivalents and restricted cash and investments, as well as interest expense on variable interest rate borrowings under the 2010 Credit Facility. Based on the Company's investment balances, and the borrowing levels under the 2010 Credit Facility as of September 30, 2011, a hypothetical 10 percent increase or decrease in the interest rate associated with these instruments, with all other variables held constant, would not materially affect the Company's future earnings and cash outflows.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

        a)    The Company's management evaluated, with the participation of the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2011. Based on their evaluation, the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011.

        b)    Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers, the Company has determined that there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Company's quarter ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

        The management and administration of the delivery of specialty managed healthcare entails significant risks of liability. From time to time, the Company is subject to various actions and claims arising from the acts or omissions of its employees, network providers or other parties. In the normal course of business, the Company receives reports relating to deaths and other serious incidents involving patients whose care is being managed by the Company. Such incidents occasionally give rise to malpractice, professional negligence and other related actions and claims against the Company or its network providers. Many of these actions and claims received by the Company seek substantial damages and therefore require the Company to incur significant fees and costs related to their defense. The Company is also subject to or party to certain class actions, litigation and claims relating to its operations or business practices. In the opinion of management, the Company has recorded reserves that are adequate to cover litigation, claims or assessments that have been or may be asserted against the Company, and for which the outcome is probable and reasonably estimable. Management believes that the resolution of such litigation and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations; however, there can be no assurance in this regard.
