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 facilitates analysis of trends in underlying revenue, expenses and shareholders’ net income. Adjusted income (loss) 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 investment gains/losses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and special items. The Cigna
Group’s share of certain 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.
9
2.
Management is not able to provide a reconciliation of adjusted income from operations to shareholders’ net income, on a forward-looking basis because it is
unable to predict, without unreasonable effort, certain components thereof including (i) future net investment results 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 2026 dividends.
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.
Adjusted revenues is used by The Cigna Group’s management because it facilitates 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 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.
4.
Operating ratios are defined as follows:
•
The Cigna Healthcare medical care ratio (“MCR”) represents medical costs as a percentage of premiums for all Cigna Healthcare risk products provided through
guaranteed cost or experience-rated funding arrangements. Changes in percentages may be expressed in basis points (“bps”).
•
SG&A expense ratio on a GAAP basis for the fourth quarter 2025 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,609
million as a percentage of total revenue of $72.5 billion at a consolidated level. SG&A expense ratio on a GAAP basis for the fourth quarter 2024 represents enterprise selling, general and
administrative expenses of $3,865 million as a percentage of total revenue of $65.6 billion at a consolidated level.
•
SG&A expense ratio on a GAAP basis for the full year 2025 represents
enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $14,617 million as a percentage of total revenue of $274.9 billion at a consolidated level. SG&A expense ratio on a GAAP basis for the full year 2024
represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $14,844 million as a percentage of total revenue of $247.1 billion at a consolidated level.
10
•
Adjusted SG&A expense ratio for the fourth quarter 2025 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,430
million excluding special items of $ 179 million as a percentage of adjusted revenue at a consolidated level. Adjusted SG&A expense ratio
for the fourth quarter 2024 represents enterprise selling,
general and administrative expenses of $3,767 million excluding special items of $ 98 million as a percentage of adjusted revenue at a consolidated lev el.
•
Adjusted SG&A expense ratio for the full year 2025 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $13,691 million
excluding special items of $926 million as a percentage of adjusted revenue at a consolidated level. Adjusted SG&A expense ratio for the full year 2024 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $14,569
million excluding special items of $275 million as a percentage of adjusted revenue at a consolidated level.
5.
Customer relationships are defined as follows:
•
Total medical customers includes individuals who meet any one of the following criteria: (i) are covered under a medical insurance policy,
managed care arrangement, or administrative services agreement issued by Cigna Healthcare; (ii) have access to Cigna Healthcare’s provider network for covered services under their medical plan; or (iii) have medical claims that are
administered by Cigna Healthcare.
•
Total customer relationships and total medical customers as of December 31, 2024, excluding the impact of the HCSC transaction 6 , were
179,712 thousand and 18,055 thousand, respectively.
6.
On March 19, 2025, the company completed the sale (the “HCSC transaction”) of its Medicare Advantage, Medicare Individual Stand-Alone Prescription Drug Plans,
Medicare and Other Supplemental Benefits, and CareAllies businesses to Health Care Services Corporation (“HCSC”).
7.
Margin, pre-tax, is calculated by dividing adjusted income (loss) from operations, pre-tax by adjusted revenues for each segment.
8.
The Cigna Group owns noncontrolling interests in certain operating joint ventures. As such, the adjusted revenues for the Cigna Healthcare segment only include
the Company’s share of the joint ventures’ earnings reported in Fees and Other Revenues using the equity method of accounting under GAAP.
Set forth below is a table that presents the impact of the HCSC transaction on Cigna Healthcare Adjusted
Revenues for the periods presented. Management believes that the presentation of this measure is useful to investors because it permits a comparison of the Company’s go-forward business across periods.

net of reinsurance and other recoverables. The gross medical costs payable balance was $4.24 billion as of December 31, 2025 , $4.68 billion as of September 30, 2025 , and $5.02 billion as of December
31, 2024 .
10.
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 investment results, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and special items. The Cigna Group’s share of certain 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

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release, and oral statements made in connection with this release, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on The Cigna Group’s current expectations and projections about future trends, events and uncertainties. These statements are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements may
include, among others, statements concerning our projected outlook for 2026 (including
adjusted revenues; adjusted income from operations, including on a per share, and segment basis; adjusted SG&A expense ratio; adjusted effective tax rate; cash flow from operations; capital expenditures; shareholder dividends; weighted average
shares outstanding; medical care ratio; and total medical customers); future financial or operating performance, including our ability to improve the health and vitality of those we serve; future growth, business strategy and strategic or
operational initiatives, including our ability to successfully implement actions across our business to strengthen our platform and build a more sustainable model for healthcare; economic, regulatory or competitive environments; capital deployment
plans and amounts available for future deployment; our prospects for growth in the coming years; and other statements regarding The Cigna Group’s future beliefs, expectations, plans, intentions, liquidity, cash flows, financial condition or
performance. You may identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “may,” “should,” “will” or other words or expressions of
similar meaning, although not all forward-looking statements contain such terms.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or
implied in forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: our ability to manage healthcare costs and respond to price competition, inflation and other pressures that could compress our margins or result in
premiums that are insufficient to cover the cost of services delivered to our customers; our ability to compete effectively, differentiate our products and services from those of our competitors and adapt to changes in an evolving and rapidly
changing industry; changes in drug pricing or industry pricing benchmarks; our ability to efficiently transition to a new rebate-free pricing model; our ability
to maintain relationships with one or more key pharmaceutical manufacturers or if payments made or discounts provided decline; changes in the pharmacy provider marketplace or pharmacy networks; the potential for actual claims to exceed our
estimates related to expected medical claims; our ability to develop and maintain satisfactory relationships with health care payors, physicians, hospitals, other health service providers and with producers and consultants; potential liability in
connection with managing medical practices and operating pharmacies, onsite clinics and other types of medical facilities; uncertainties surrounding participation in government-sponsored programs and providing services to payors who participate in
government-sponsored programs; the substantial level of government regulation over our business and the potential effects of new laws or regulations or changes in existing laws or regulations; compliance with applicable privacy, security and data
laws, regulations and standards; the outcome of litigation, regulatory audits and investigations; compliance costs and potential failure of our prevention, detection and control systems; our ability to invest in and properly maintain our
information technology and other business systems; our ability to prevent or contain effects of a potential cyberattack or other privacy or data security incident; risks related to our use of artificial intelligence and machine learning; dependence
on success of relationships with third parties; risk of significant disruption within our operations or among key suppliers or third parties; political, legal, operational, regulatory, economic and other risks that could affect our multinational
operations, including currency exchange rates; risks related to strategic transactions and realization of the expected benefits of such transactions, as well as integration or separation difficulties or underperformance relative to expectations
which could lead to an impairment charge; our ability to achieve our strategic and operational initiatives; unfavorable economic and market conditions, the risk of a recession or other economic downturn and resulting impact on employment metrics,
stock market or changes in interest rates; risks related to a downgrade in financial strength ratings of our insurance subsidiaries; the impact of our significant indebtedness and the potential for further indebtedness in the future; credit risk
related to our reinsurers; as well as more specific risks and uncertainties discussed in our most recent report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K available through the Investor Relations section of www.thecignagroup.com. You
should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made, are not guarantees of future performance or results, and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict
or quantify. The Cigna Group undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
