UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

On July 29, 2004, UnitedHealth Group acquired Oxford Health Plans, Inc. (Oxford). Under the terms of the agreement, Oxford shareholders received 0.6357 shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock and $16.17 in cash for each share of Oxford common stock they owned. Total consideration issued was approximately $5.0 billion, comprised of approximately 52.2 million shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock (valued at approximately $3.4 billion based upon the average of UnitedHealth Group’s share closing prices for two days before, the day of, and two days after the acquisition announcement date of April 26, 2004), approximately $1.3 billion in cash, and UnitedHealth Group vested common stock options with an estimated fair value of $240 million issued in exchange for Oxford’s outstanding vested common stock options.

 

On February 10, 2004, UnitedHealth Group acquired Mid Atlantic Medical Services, Inc. (MAMSI). Under the terms of the agreement, MAMSI stockholders received 0.82 shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock and $18 in cash for each share of MAMSI common stock they owned. Total consideration issued was approximately $2.7 billion, comprised of 36.4 million shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock (valued at approximately $1.9 billion based on the average of the closing prices of UnitedHealth Group common stock for two days before, the day of, and two days after the acquisition announcement date of October 27, 2003) and $800 million in cash. The results of operations and financial condition of MAMSI have been included in the UnitedHealth Group historical financial statements since the February 10, 2004 acquisition date.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the acquisitions of Oxford and MAMSI by UnitedHealth Group as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2003 for purposes of the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the acquisition of Oxford by UnitedHealth Group as if the acquisition had occurred on June 30, 2004 for purposes of the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2004.

 

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets of an acquired entity based on their estimated fair values as of the completion of the transaction. A final determination of these fair values will include management’s consideration of a valuation prepared by an independent valuation specialist. This valuation will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets of the acquired entity that exist as of the closing date of the transaction.

 

Because this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on preliminary estimates of fair values, the actual amounts recorded as of the completion of the transaction may differ materially from the information presented in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. In addition to the independent valuation, the impact of any integration activities could cause material differences from the information presented below.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of UnitedHealth Group and Oxford. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of UnitedHealth Group that would have been reported had the transactions been completed as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of UnitedHealth Group.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

(a) Reflects the reclassification of certain historical MAMSI amounts to conform to financial reporting being used prospectively by the combined company. While we have conducted preliminary reviews of accounting and financial reporting policy differences relating to Oxford, this review is ongoing and will continue throughout the merger process. As such, additional reclassifications or pro forma adjustments may be identified.
(b) The MAMSI acquisition closed on February 10, 2004. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2004 includes the effects of the MAMSI acquisition in the UnitedHealth Group historical information. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 includes MAMSI’s results of operations from February 11, 2004 to June 30, 2004 in the UnitedHealth Group historical information. This acquisition resulted in the issuance of UnitedHealth Group common stock and cash based upon the exchange ratio of 0.82 share of UnitedHealth Group common stock and $18 of cash for each outstanding share of MAMSI common stock. The average market price per share of UnitedHealth Group common stock of $53.05 was based upon the average of the closing prices for a range of trading days (October 23, 2003 through October 29, 2003) around the announcement date (October 27, 2003) of the transaction. This resulted in an estimated purchase price of $2,745 million ($1,932 million in stock, $800 million in cash and $13 million of estimated transaction costs) as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

(c) The Oxford acquisition closed on July 29, 2004. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the Oxford acquisition. This acquisition gives effect to the issuance of UnitedHealth Group common stock and cash based upon the exchange ratio of 0.6357 share of UnitedHealth Group common stock and $16.17 of cash for each outstanding share of Oxford common stock. The average market price per share of UnitedHealth Group common stock of $64.78 is based upon the average of the closing prices for a range of trading days (April 22, 2004 through April 28, 2004) around the announcement date (April 26, 2004) of the transaction. This resulted in an estimated purchase price of $4,990 million ($3,384 million in stock, $1,329 million in cash, $240 million for the estimated fair value of UnitedHealth Group vested stock options issued in exchange for outstanding Oxford stock options and $37 million of estimated transaction costs) as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

(d) Finite-lived intangible assets relating to the MAMSI acquisition have been initially recorded in the UnitedHealth Group historical information at $360 million and consist mainly of membership lists, provider networks and non-compete agreements. The estimated weighted average useful life is approximately 19 years and the estimated annual amortization expense is approximately $19 million. For the June 30, 2004 pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, the estimated amortization expense is for the period January 1, 2004 to February 10, 2004 since amortization expense post-acquisition date is reflected in the UnitedHealth Group historical information.
(e) Finite-lived intangible assets relating to the Oxford acquisition have been preliminarily estimated at approximately $735 million, consisting mainly of membership lists, provider networks and non-compete agreements. The estimated weighted average useful life is approximately 15 years and the estimated annual amortization expense is approximately $50 million.
(f) Represents an accrual of $37 million for transaction costs as a result of the Oxford merger and $13 million for additional liabilities to be settled under Oxford employment agreements as a result of the acquisition. Additionally, Oxford recorded transaction expenses of $8 million in their historical six months ended June 30, 2004 statement of operations which has been eliminated from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations since these costs were incurred prior to the consummation of the acquisition and were directly related to the transaction.
(g) Represents the borrowing of the cash to be paid as consideration in the Oxford transaction as detailed in note (c).
(h) Represents the deferred tax liability established for the book and tax basis difference of finite-lived intangible assets, which are amortizable for book purposes but not for tax.
(i) Represents the elimination of Oxford’s equity accounts and goodwill and intangible asset accounts.
(j) Represents the issuance of UnitedHealth Group stock and stock options as consideration paid in the Oxford transaction as detailed in note (c).
(k) Represents the estimated interest expense associated with borrowing the $1,329 million cash to be paid as consideration in the Oxford transaction. The interest rate is based on the issuance of three- to ten-year fixed-rate debt and an estimated weighted-average borrowing rate of approximately 5% for such debt.
(l) Represents the payoff of the Oxford debt of $396 million at closing and the corresponding estimated reduction in interest expense and interest income. The effective interest rate used for the investment interest income was 2.0% based upon estimated current interest rates on Oxford’s short term investments.
(m) Represents the estimated interest expense associated with borrowing the $800 million cash paid as consideration in the MAMSI transaction. The interest expense is based on the issuance of $500 million of five- to ten-year floating-rate debt and $300 million of commercial paper at an estimated weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.3%. The impact on interest expense of a 1/8% change in interest rates would be $1 million. For the June 30, 2004 pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, the estimated interest expense is for the period January 1, 2004 to February 10, 2004 since interest expense post-acquisition date is reflected in the UnitedHealth Group historical information.
(n) Represents the pro forma tax effect of the MAMSI and Oxford pro forma adjustments based upon the statutory federal income tax rate of 35%.
(o) Represents the increase in weighted average shares outstanding from the MAMSI acquisition based on the issuance of 36.4 million shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock at the beginning of the period presented. In the June 30, 2004 pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, this is partially offset by 28.4 million in weighted average shares outstanding that are already included in the UnitedHealth Group historical information since the 36.4 million shares were issued during the six month period ended June 30, 2004.
(p) Represents the increase in weighted average shares outstanding from the Oxford acquisition based on the issuance of 52.2 million shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock at the beginning of the period presented. The share issuance is based upon the 82.2 million outstanding shares of Oxford stock at the acquisition date multiplied by the 0.6357 exchange ratio as detailed in note (c).
(q) Represents the estimated common stock equivalents related to the issuance of 7.5 million vested options to purchase shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock in exchange for the outstanding options to purchase shares of Oxford common stock as detailed in note (c). This was calculated using the “Treasury Stock” method under FAS No. 128 using a $34 per share average exercise price and a $64 per share average common stock fair value.
(r) Includes favorable development of the December 31, 2003 medical cost payable estimates of approximately $7 million ($5 million net of tax).
(s) For comparison purposes, investments available for sale at fair value have been reclassified between short and long term investments based upon final maturities.
