Management Comments

Richard A. Barasch, Chairman and CEO, commented: “Our performance for the first half of 2010 reflects solid execution on the fundamentals in our core Medicare businesses. We continue to deliver strong underwriting results and have consistently shown our ability to bid our products so that they provide good value to our members and are competitive in the marketplace.

“For the balance of the year, much of our energy will be directed toward preparing for 2011 and beyond. In the challenging post-reform Medicare environment that lies ahead, we are stepping up our ongoing commitment to compliance, efficiency and quality. In addition, we are continuing to invest in our Healthy CollaborationSM model in which we work closely with providers and members to promote better health outcomes and control medical costs.

“The special dividend announced today reflects our commitment to maintain a capital structure that fits our business. After the payment of this dividend, and the concurrent pay down of debt, our debt to total capital ratios will improve and we will retain more than adequate capital in our operating subsidiaries, especially in light of the anticipated reduction in the size of our Medicare Advantage Private Fee-for-Service business in 2011.”

Medicare Part D

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
Financial Performance ($ in millions)	2010			2009		2010			2009

Revenue	$	582.4		$	506.7	$	1,226.6		$	1,122.4

Operating (Loss)/Income	$	(14.4	)	$	13.6	$	(46.4	)	$	(22.3	)

The operating loss in the second quarter of 2010 includes $3.4 million of pre-tax unfavorable net prior period items. Excluding these items, the loss was $11.0 million compared to operating income of $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2009. As a result of changes in the Part D standard benefit design for 2010 and in the benefit design of our enhanced PDP plans, our Part D

operating income will have a steeper slope of seasonality in 2010 with higher losses incurred early in the year expected to be more than offset by higher profits later in the year. In addition, our results reflect a higher benefit ratio as compared to 2009 since we bid to a lower annual margin in Part D than we had in the prior year. Membership increased year-over-year by approximately 12% to 1.9 million members, driven mainly by the addition of 149,000 dual eligible members.

For the first six months of 2010, the increase in the year-over-year operating loss as compared to 2009 is attributable to the increased seasonal loss and bidding strategy described above, exacerbated by higher membership. The operating loss in the first six months of 2010 included $9.5 million of pre-tax unfavorable net prior period items, compared to $1.4 million in the first six months of 2009.

Medicare Advantage

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
Financial Performance ($ in millions)	2010		2009		2010		2009

Revenue	$	796.3	$	661.2	$	1,581.4	$	1,307.5

Operating Income	$	51.6	$	29.0	$	99.2	$	75.2

For the second quarter of 2010, the improvement in operating income was attributable to higher membership and lower benefit ratios. In the second quarter of 2010, Medicare Advantage operating income included pre-tax positive prior period adjustments of $16.2 million, compared to $10.5 million in the second quarter of 2009. Excluding these prior period adjustments, the adjusted medical benefit ratio, or MBR, was 84.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

For the first six months of 2010, operating income increased due to higher membership and lower expense ratios. In the first six months of 2010, Medicare Advantage operating income included pre-tax positive prior period adjustments of $22.8 million, compared to $19.4 million in the first six months

of 2009. Excluding these prior period adjustments, the MBR was 83.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Membership in network-based plans increased 48% year-over-year to approximately 93,000 as of June 30, 2010, driven by strong enrollment growth in Preferred Provider Organization (“PPO”) markets.

As of June 30, 2010, Private-Fee-For-Service (“PFFS”) membership was approximately 202,000, an increase of 15% year-over-year due to higher sales and lower attrition. Based on the current listing of rural counties, approximately 24% of our PFFS membership is located in areas designated as rural, which will allow these members to continue their PFFS coverage for at least one more year. We received conditional approval for networks filed this year which, combined with the networks approved previously, will give coverage for approximately 42% of our PFFS members. There is no assurance that the Company will receive final approval from CMS for those networks. Any approval will be subject to the ongoing CMS review of the bids submitted by the Company.

Traditional Insurance

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
Financial Performance ($ in millions)	2010		2009			2010			2009

Revenue	$	77.4	$	82.5		$	157.7		$	186.6

Operating Income / (Loss)	$	3.9	$	(10.4	)	$	(1.8	)	$	(25.9	)

The Traditional Insurance segment operating results improved year-over-year due to improved benefit and administrative expense ratios, offset by lower revenue due to lower in-force membership and reduced segment net investment income.

Investment Portfolio

Universal American’s $1.9 billion portfolio of cash and invested assets, as of June 30, 2010, has the following characteristics:

· 52% is invested in U.S. Government and agency securities, including investments in U.S. Government money market funds with the balance in short term investments

Special Dividend and Credit Facility Amendment

The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has approved the payment of a special cash dividend of $2.00 per share. This special cash dividend will be payable on August 19, 2010 to the Company’s common shareholders and Series A Preferred Stock holders of record as of the close of business on August 5, 2010. As of July 28, 2010, there were approximately 75.5 million shares of common stock and 4.2 million shares of common stock equivalents related to Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.

On July 27, 2010, Universal American amended its Credit Facility, which provides the Company with the ability to make an additional $100 million of restricted payments, up to a total of $300 million. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company agreed to increase the current LIBOR-based spread by 12.5 basis points. In addition, under the terms of the amendment, upon payment of the special dividend, the Company will pay down $78.0 million of its bank debt, leaving a remaining balance of $234.2 million, and will have $11.4 million of restricted payments remaining.

After payment of the special dividend, the Company will have $42.4 million of unregulated cash. The pro-forma ratio of debt to total capitalization, excluding the effect of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and including trust preferreds as debt will be 20.5% as of June 30, 2010.

Share Repurchase Program

In the first six months of 2010, the Company did not repurchase any shares under this program.

Forward Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this news release and oral statements made from time to time by representatives of Universal American may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Federal securities laws. When used in investor presentations, press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of one of the Company’s executive officers, the words or phrases like “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “likely will result,” “estimates,” “projects” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including, among other things, information set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s SEC filings, in quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and annual reports on Form 10-K. A summary of the information set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s SEC filings includes but is not limited to the following:

· The recently enacted healthcare legislation and subsequent rules promulgated by CMS could have a material adverse effect on our opportunity for growth and our future results.

· We may be unable to execute our plan to respond to the challenges resulting from the passage into law of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008.

· We are subject to extensive government regulation; compliance with laws and regulations is complex and expensive, and any violation of the laws and regulations applicable to us could reduce our revenues and profitability and otherwise adversely affect our operating results. Changes in governmental regulation or legislative reform could also increase our costs of doing business and adversely affect our profitability.

· CMS’s risk adjustment payment system and budget neutrality factors make our revenue and profitability difficult to predict and could result in material retroactive adjustments to our results of operations.

· If we are unable to develop and maintain satisfactory relationships with the providers of care to our members, our profitability could be adversely affected and we may be precluded from operating in some markets.

· Competition in the insurance, healthcare, PBM and pharmacy industries is intense, and if we do not design and price our products properly and competitively, our membership and profitability could decline.

· Reductions in funding for Medicare programs could materially reduce our profitability.

· If we fail to effectively execute our Medicare initiatives and our other operational and strategic initiatives, our business could be materially adversely affected.

· We have incurred and may in the future incur significant expenses in connection with the implementation and expansion of our new Medicare Advantage plans, which could adversely affect our operating results.

· Given the current economic climate, Universal American’s stock and the stock of other companies in the insurance industry may be increasingly subject to stock price and trading volume volatility.

· We have debt outstanding that contains restrictive covenants, and we may be unable to access other sources of financing should we require additional external financing or obtain waivers of relevant covenants or, if they arise, defaults under the debt agreements.

· Downgrades in our debt ratings, should they occur, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

* Non-GAAP Financial Measures - See supplemental tables on the following pages of this release for a reconciliation of these items to financial measures calculated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

(1) The effective tax rate was 32.5% for the second quarter of 2010, and 38.1% for the second quarter of 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the effective tax rate was 24.5%, compared with 34.7% for the same period of 2009. The decline in the effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is due to the recording of $3.8 million of non-recurring tax benefits. The decrease in the effective rate for the three- and six-month periods is attributable to $1.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of non-recurring tax benefits recognized during those periods. These benefits were recognized upon the completion of examinations by the Internal Revenue Service and primarily are attributable to pre-acquisition tax returns of MemberHealth, Inc. Absent these non-recurring benefits, the effective rate would have been 37.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

(2) Diluted book value per common share (excluding AOCI) represents Total Stockholders’ Equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), plus assumed proceeds from the exercise of vested, in-the-money options, divided by the total shares outstanding plus the shares assumed issued from the exercise of vested, in-the-money options.

(3) The Debt to Total Capital Ratio (excluding AOCI) is calculated as the ratio of the sum of the Outstanding Bank Debt and Other Long Term Debt to the sum of Stockholders’ Equity (excluding AOCI) plus Outstanding Bank Debt plus Other Long Term Debt.

(4) Adjusted net income is calculated as net income excluding after-tax realized losses, non-recurring tax benefits, and special items applicable to 2009 (reinsurance, restructuring charges, and sales office closing charges).

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In millions, except per share amounts

(Unaudited)

Universal American uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s performance for the periods presented in this press release. You should not consider non-GAAP measures to be an alternative to measurements required by GAAP. Because Universal American’s calculation of these measures may differ from the calculation of similar measures used by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing Universal American’s non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies. The key non-GAAP measures presented in our press release, including reconciliation to GAAP measures, are set forth below.

	June 30, 2010			December 31, 2009
Total Stockholders’ Equity (excluding AOCI)
Total stockholders’ equity	$	1,497.8		$	1,449.5
Plus: Accumulated other comprehensive (income) / loss	(2.3		)	7.9

Total stockholders’ equity (excluding AOCI)	$	1,495.5		$	1,457.4

Universal American uses total stockholders’ equity (excluding AOCI), as a basis for evaluating growth in equity on both an absolute dollar basis and on a per share basis, as well as in evaluating the ratio of debt to total capitalization. We believe that fluctuations in stockholders’ equity that arise from changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, as well as changes in the other components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, do not relate to the performance of Universal American’s core business operations.

	June 30, 2010		December 31, 2009
Diluted Book Value per Common Share
Total stockholders’ equity	$	1,497.8	$	1,449.5
Proceeds from assumed exercises of vested options	20.1		8.8
	$	1,517.9	$	1,458.3
Diluted common shares outstanding	81.6		79.8

Diluted book value per common share	$	18.60	$	18.28

Total stockholders’ equity (excluding AOCI)	$	1,495.5	$	1,457.4
Proceeds from assumed exercises of vested options	20.1		8.8
	$	1,515.6	$	1,466.2
Diluted common shares outstanding	81.6		79.8

Diluted book value per common share (excluding AOCI)	$	18.57	$	18.38

As noted above, Universal American uses total stockholders’ equity (excluding AOCI), as a basis for evaluating growth in equity on a per share basis. We believe that fluctuations in stockholders’ equity that arise from changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, as well as changes in the other components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, do not relate to the performance of Universal American’s core business operations.

Total outstanding bank debt	312.1			313.8
Total outstanding trust preferred securities	110.0			110.0
Total capital	$	1,917.6		$	1,881.3

Debt to total capital ratio (excluding AOCI)	22.0		%	22.5		%

As noted above, Universal American uses total stockholders’ equity (excluding AOCI), as a basis for evaluating the ratio of debt to total capital. We believe that fluctuations in stockholders’ equity that arise from changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, as well as changes in the other components of accumulated other comprehensive income, do not relate to the performance of Universal American’s core business operations.

Universal American uses adjusted net income, calculated as net income excluding after-tax net realized investment losses, special items (life and annuity reinsurance, restructuring charges, and sales office closing charges), the non-recurring tax benefit, and goodwill impairment, as a basis for evaluating operating results. Although the

excluded items may recur, we believe that realized gains and losses in our investment portfolio, special items, non-recurring tax benefit, and goodwill impairment do not relate to the performance of Universal American’s core business operations and that adjusted net income provides a more useful comparison of our business performance from period to period.
