BLOOMFIELD, Conn., Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Global health company The Cigna Group (NYSE: CI) today reported strong second quarter 2023 results reflecting growth and focused execution across our diversified portfolio of businesses.

"We're pleased with our performance and growth across the breadth of our business in the second quarter as our co-workers continued to drive innovation and deliver effective and affordable solutions supporting the health and vitality of our customers, patients and clients," said David M. Cordani, chairman and chief executive officer.

Shareholders' net income for second quarter 2023 was $1.5 billion, or $4.92 per share, compared with $1.6 billion, or $4.89 per share, for second quarter 2022³.

The Cigna Group's adjusted income from operations¹ for second quarter 2023 was $1.8 billion, or $6.13 per share, compared with $2.0 billion, or $6.20 per share, for second quarter 2022³, primarily reflecting the absence of income from divested businesses⁴.

A reconciliation of shareholders' net income to adjusted income from operations¹ is provided on the following page and on Exhibit 1 of this earnings release.

Notes:
1.	Adjusted income (loss) from operations is a principal financial measure of profitability used by The Cigna Group's management because it presents the underlying results of operations of the Company's businesses and permits analysis of trends in underlying revenue, expenses and shareholders' net income. Adjusted income from operations is defined as shareholders' net income (or income before income taxes less pre-tax income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests for the segment metric) excluding net realized investment results, amortization of acquired intangible assets and special items. The Cigna Group's share of certain realized investment results of its joint ventures reported in the Cigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting are also excluded. Special items are matters that management believes are not representative of the underlying results of operations due to their nature or size. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is measured on an after-tax basis for consolidated results and on a pre-tax basis for segment results. Consolidated adjusted income (loss) from operations is not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, shareholders' net income. See Exhibit 1 for a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted income from operations to shareholders' net income.
2.	Management is not able to provide a reconciliation of adjusted income from operations to shareholders' net income (loss) or adjusted revenues to total revenues on a forward-looking basis because it is unable to predict, without unreasonable effort, certain components thereof including (i) future net realized investment results (from equity method investments with respect to adjusted revenues) and (ii) future special items. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond The Cigna Group's control. As such, any associated estimate and its impact on shareholders' net income and total revenues could vary materially.
	The Company's outlook excludes the potential effects of any other business combinations that may occur after the date of this earnings release. The Company's outlook includes the potential effects of expected future share repurchases and anticipated 2023 dividends.
	As announced in January 2021, The Cigna Group currently intends to pay regular quarterly dividends, with future declarations subject to approval by its Board of Directors and the Board's determination that the declaration of dividends remains in the best interests of The Cigna Group and its shareholders. The decision of whether to pay future dividends and the amount of any such dividends will be based on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, capital requirements, the requirements of applicable law and any other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
	The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, and alternate uses of capital. The share repurchase program may be effected through open market purchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, or privately negotiated transactions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
3.	Effective January 1, 2023, The Cigna Group adopted ASU 2018-12, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts, and related amendments. Prior year results have been restated to reflect the adoption of the new accounting guidance.
4.	On July 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in six countries (Hong Kong, Indonesia, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand) to Chubb INA Holdings, Inc. ("Chubb") for approximately $5.4 billion in cash (the "Chubb transaction"). In December 2022, the Company divested its ownership interest in a joint venture in Türkiye.
5.	Adjusted revenues is used by The Cigna Group's management because it permits analysis of trends in underlying revenue. The Company defines adjusted revenues as total revenues excluding the following adjustments: special items and The Cigna Group's share of certain realized investment results of its joint ventures reported in the Cigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting. Special items are matters that management believes are not representative of the underlying results of operations due to their nature or size. We exclude these items from this measure because management believes they are not indicative of past or future underlying performance of the business. Adjusted revenues is not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, total revenues. See Exhibit 1 for a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted revenues to total revenues.
6.	Operating ratios are defined as follows:
	The Cigna Healthcare medical care ratio ("MCR") represents medical costs as a percentage of premiums for all U.S. Commercial risk products, including medical, pharmacy, dental, stop loss and behavioral products provided through guaranteed cost or experience-rated funding arrangements, as well as Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D, Medicare Supplement, individual on and off-exchange products, and health care products within our International Health business, within the Cigna Healthcare segment. SG&A expense ratio on a GAAP basis for the second quarter 2023 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,434 million as a percentage of Total revenue of $48.6 billion at a consolidated level. SG&A expense ratio on a GAAP basis for the second quarter 2022 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,264 million as a percentage of Total revenue of $45.5 billion at a consolidated level. Adjusted SG&A expense ratio for the second quarter 2023 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,428 million excluding special items of $6 million as a percentage of adjusted revenue at a consolidated level. Adjusted SG&A expense ratio for the second quarter 2022 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,234 million excluding special items of $30 million as a percentage of adjusted revenue at a consolidated level.
7.	The measure "adjusted effective tax rate" is not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, "consolidated effective tax rate". We define adjusted effective tax rate as the consolidated income tax rate applicable to the Company's pre-tax income excluding pre-tax income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, net realized investment results, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and special items. The Cigna Group's share of certain realized investment results of its joint ventures reported in the Cigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting are also excluded. Management is not able to provide a reconciliation to the consolidated effective tax rate on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict, without unreasonable effort, certain components thereof include (i) future net realized investment results and (ii) future special items.
8.	Customer relationships are defined as follows:
	Total medical customers includes individuals in the Cigna Healthcare segment who meet any one of the following criteria: are covered under a medical insurance policy, managed care arrangement, or service agreement issued by Cigna Healthcare; have access to Cigna Healthcare's provider network for covered services under their medical plan; or have medical claims and services that are administered by Cigna Healthcare. International Health medical customers excludes medical customers served by less than 100% owned subsidiaries, as well as certain customers served by our third-party administrator. International Health customers as of June 30, 2023 reflect the transition of certain runoff business to Other Operations beginning January 1, 2023. Effective January 1, 2023, total pharmacy customers have been updated to reflect customer filled prescriptions through Inside Rx. Previously these customers had been estimated based on active customers over a period of time. Total pharmacy customers for prior periods have been restated to reflect this change. Behavioral care and total customer relationships as of December 31, 2022 excluding the impact of the supplemental behavioral coverage contract with New York Life were 24,696 thousand and 157,876 thousand, respectively
9.	Adjusted margin, pre-tax, is calculated by dividing adjusted income (loss) from operations, pre-tax by adjusted revenues for each segment.
10.	The Cigna Group owns a 50% noncontrolling interest in its China joint venture. As such, the adjusted revenues for the Cigna Healthcare segment only include the Company's 50% share of the joint venture's earnings reported in Fees and Other Revenues using the equity method of accounting under GAAP.
11.	Medical costs payable within the Cigna Healthcare segment are presented net of reinsurance and other recoverables. The gross medical costs payable balance was $5.34 billion as of June 30, 2023, $4.18 billion as of December 31, 2022, and $4.49 billion as of June 30, 2022.
