On Feb. 13, Molina Healthcare
- Revenue was $543.9 million; it increased by about 30%, primarily due to an increase in premium income from acquisition of Cape Health Plan, and also the company's Ohio health plan.
- The net profit rise of 8.5% was the result of higher sales, partially offset by increasing general and administrative expenses due to continued investment in infrastructure to support medical-care cost control initiatives.
- Cash from operating activities climbed by 10.7%. The primary sources were net income, the timing of payments for medical costs, and premium receipts.
- Molina anticipates significant growth in enrollment of the Ohio health plan in 2007, and projects a lower Ohio health plan medical-care ratio due to re-contracting and lower costs in new regions.
- Molina hasn't earned high marks in the Motley Fool CAPS stock-rating service -- it currently has a one-star rating.
