UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

On December 20, 2005, UnitedHealth Group acquired PacifiCare Health Systems, Inc. (PacifiCare). Under the terms of the agreement, holders of PacifiCare common stock received 1.1 shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock and $21.50 in cash for each share of PacifiCare common stock they owned. Total estimated merger consideration for the transaction was approximately $8.8 billion, comprised of approximately 99.2 million shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock, valued at approximately $5.3 billion based upon the average of the closing prices of UnitedHealth Group common stock for two trading days before, the day of, and two trading days following the acquisition announcement date of July 6, 2005, approximately $2.1 billion in cash, $960 million cash paid to retire PacifiCare’s existing debt and UnitedHealth Group vested common stock options with an estimated fair value of approximately $420 million issued in exchange for PacifiCare’s outstanding vested common stock options. The results of operations and financial condition of PacifiCare have been included in the UnitedHealth Group historical financial statements since the December 20, 2005 acquisition date.

 

On July 29, 2004, UnitedHealth Group acquired Oxford Health Plans, Inc. (Oxford). Under the terms of the merger agreement, Oxford shareholders received 1.2714 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 104.4 million shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock, valued at approximately $3.4 billion based upon the average of the closing prices of UnitedHealth Group common stock for two trading days before, the day of, and two trading days following 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. The results of operations and financial condition of Oxford have been included in the UnitedHealth Group historical financial statements since the July 29, 2004 acquisition date.

 

On February 10, 2004, UnitedHealth Group acquired Mid Atlantic Medical Services, Inc. (MAMSI). Under the terms of the merger agreement, MAMSI stockholders received 1.64 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 approximately 72.8 million shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock, valued at approximately $1.9 billion based upon the average of the closing prices of UnitedHealth Group common stock for two trading days before, the day of, and two trading days following the acquisition announcement date of October 27, 2003, and approximately $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 PacifiCare, Oxford and MAMSI by UnitedHealth Group as if the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of the respective periods 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 PacifiCare by UnitedHealth Group as if the acquisition had occurred on September 30, 2005 for purposes of the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2005.

 

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated 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. Potential synergies which may result from the integration of physician, hospital, and other health care provider networks and operating and administrative activities have been excluded from the pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

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 PacifiCare. 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) The PacifiCare acquisition closed on December 20, 2005. The unaudited pro forma financial information gives effect to the issuance of UnitedHealth Group common stock and cash based upon the exchange ratio of 1.1 shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock and $21.50 of cash for each outstanding share of PacifiCare common stock. The average market price per share of UnitedHealth Group common stock of $53.22 used in determining the fair value of the stock consideration is based upon the average of the closing prices for a range of trading days (July 1, 2005 through July 8, 2005) around the announcement date (July 6, 2005) of the transaction. This resulted in an estimated purchase price of $8,801 million ($5,276 million in stock, $2,050 million in cash, $960 million cash paid to retire PacifiCare’s existing debt, $420 million for the estimated fair value of UnitedHealth Group vested stock options issued in exchange for outstanding vested PacifiCare stock options and $95 million of estimated transaction costs as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

(d) Finite-lived intangible assets relating to the PacifiCare acquisition have been estimated at approximately $1,000 million and consist mainly of member lists, health care physician and hospital networks and trademarks. The estimated weighted-average useful life is approximately 13 years and the estimated annual amortization expense is approximately $80 million.

 

(e) Represents the elimination of intangible asset amortization recorded in PacifiCare’s historical financial statements.

 

(f) Finite-lived intangible assets relating to the Oxford acquisition were recorded at $600 million, consisting mainly of member lists, health care physician and hospital networks and trademarks. The weighted-average useful life is 16 years and the annual amortization expense is approximately $42 million.

 

(g) Finite-lived intangible assets relating to the MAMSI acquisition were recorded at $280 million and consist mainly of member lists, health care physician and hospital networks and trademarks. The weighted-average useful life is 17 years and the estimated annual amortization expense is approximately $20 million.

 

(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 borrowing of the cash paid as consideration in the PacifiCare transaction as detailed in note (a) of $2,050 million plus the borrowing for the PacifiCare debt retirement of $960 million, for total borrowing of $3,010 million.

 

(j) Represents the estimated interest expense associated with borrowing the $3,010 million cash paid as consideration and debt retirement in the PacifiCare transaction. The interest rate is based on the issuance of five- to ten-year fixed-rate debt and UnitedHealth Group’s estimated borrowing rate of approximately 4.0% and 4.5% for such debt for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period ended December 20, 2005, respectively. The impact on interest expense of a 1/8% change in interest rates would be approximately $4 million annually.

 

(k) Represents the retirement of the PacifiCare debt at closing and the corresponding estimated reduction in interest expense.

 

(l) PacifiCare’s Convertible Subordinated Debentures (Convertible Notes) were recorded at their fair value as of the acquisition date based upon their conversion value, comprised of 5.2 million shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock and $102 million of cash as of December 31, 2005. Subsequent to the closing of the acquisition, we initiated a consent solicitation to all of the holders of the outstanding Convertible Notes under which 91% of the convertible notes were tendered pursuant to the offer.

 

(m) Represents the estimated interest expense associated with borrowing the $1,318 million cash paid as consideration in the Oxford transaction. The interest rate is based on the issuance of five- to ten-year fixed-rate debt and the borrowing rate of approximately 4.0% for such debt. For the December 31, 2004 pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, the estimated interest expense is for the period January 1, 2004 to July 29, 2004 since interest expense for the remaining period during the quarter is reflected in the UnitedHealth Group historical information.

 

(n) Represents the payoff of the Oxford debt of $397 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 interest rates on the short term investment portfolio.

 

(o) Represents the 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 a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.0%. For the December 31, 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 for the remaining period during the quarter is reflected in the UnitedHealth Group historical information.

 

(p) Represents the issuance of UnitedHealth Group stock and stock options as consideration issued in the PacifiCare transaction as detailed in note (a).

 

(q) Represents stock option expense recognized in PacifiCare’s historical statements of operations. PacifiCare voluntarily adopted FAS No. 123, which requires stock options to be expensed based upon their fair value, effective January 1, 2003. UnitedHealth Group has elected not to expense stock options until FAS No. 123R is required to be adopted on January 1, 2006. This adjustment eliminates PacifiCare’s FAS No. 123 stock option expense from all historical results for comparability purposes.

 

(r) Represents the pro forma tax effect of all pro forma adjustments based upon the statutory federal income tax rate of 35%.

 

(s) Represents the increase in weighted-average shares outstanding from the PacifiCare acquisition based on the issuance of 99.2 million shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock at the beginning of the period presented.


(t) Represents the estimated common stock equivalents related to the issuance of 10.9 million vested options to purchase shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock in exchange for the outstanding options to purchase shares of PacifiCare common stock at December 20, 2005 as detailed in note (a). This was calculated using the “Treasury Stock” method under FAS No. 128 and using a $15.66 average exercise price and a $53.22 average common stock fair value.

 

(u) Represents the increase in weighted-average shares outstanding from the Oxford acquisition based on the issuance of 104.4 million shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock at the beginning of the period presented, partially offset by 44.6 million in weighted-average shares outstanding that had been included in the UnitedHealth Group December 31, 2004 historical information which represents the pro rata impact during the period post-acquisition.

 

(v) Represents the increase in weighted-average shares outstanding from the MAMSI acquisition based on the issuance of 72.8 million shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock at the beginning of the period presented, partially offset by 64.8 million in weighted-average shares outstanding that had been included in the UnitedHealth Group December 31, 2004 historical information which represents the pro rata impact during the period post-acquisition.

 

(w) Represents an accrual for estimated transaction costs as a result of the PacifiCare acquisition.

 

(x) Represents the elimination of PacifiCare’s equity, goodwill and intangible asset account balances.

 

(y) Reflects the reclassification of certain historical amounts of the acquired companies to conform to financial reporting being used prospectively by the combined company.

 

(z) For comparison purposes, investments available for sale at fair value have been reclassified between short and long term investments based upon remaining maturities.

 

(aa) For comparison purposes, PacifiCare’s external pharmacy benefit management expenses have been reclassified to operating costs from medical costs.

 

(bb) PacifiCare’s historical results for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 include Medicare Part D readiness expenses of approximately $25 million and transaction expenses associated with the UnitedHealth Group merger of approximately $13 million.

 

(cc) Represents the increase in diluted weighted-average shares outstanding based on the assumed conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures into 5.2 million shares of UnitedHealth Group common stock as required under FAS No. 128.
