Cigna Reports Strong Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results,

Establishes 2023 Guidance and Increases Dividend

 

Total revenues for 2022 were $180.5 billion
Shareholders’ net income for 2022 was $6.7 billion, or $21.30 per share
Adjusted income from operations1 for 2022 was $7.3 billion, or $23.27 per share
Adjusted income from operations1,2 is projected to be at least $7.33 billion in 2023, or at least $24.60 per share2
Board of Directors declared a 10% increase in the quarterly dividend rate, to $1.23 per share

 

BLOOMFIELD, CT, February 3, 2023 – Global health services company Cigna Corporation (NYSE: CI) today reported strong 2022 results reflecting growth in both Evernorth and Cigna Healthcare.

 

“We are carrying great momentum into 2023,” said David M. Cordani, chairman and chief executive officer. “Last year was a pivotal year of performance and growth for our company as individuals and employers around the world counted on Cigna Healthcare in a dynamic time, and Evernorth further expanded its health services reach and impact. We are well positioned to continue innovating and growing as we work to improve the health and vitality of all those we serve.”

 

Shareholders’ net income for 2022 was $6.7 billion, or $21.30 per share, including an after-tax gain of $1.3 billion, or $4.26 per share, primarily from the Chubb transaction3, and compares with $5.4 billion, or $15.73 per share, for 2021.

 

Cigna's adjusted income from operations1 for 2022 was $7.3 billion, or $23.27 per share, compared with $7.0 billion, or $20.47 per share, for 2021, reflecting growth in Evernorth and Cigna Healthcare more than outweighing the absence of income from divested businesses3,4. The proceeds from the Chubb transaction3 were primarily used for share repurchase in 2022.

 

Reconciliations of total revenues to adjusted revenues5 and of shareholders’ net income to adjusted income from operations1 are provided on the following page and on Exhibit 1 of this earnings release.

CONSOLIDATED HIGHLIGHTS

 

The following table includes highlights of results and reconciliations of total revenues to adjusted revenues5 and shareholders’ net income to adjusted income from operations1:

   2022  2021  2022  2021

Consolidated Earnings, net of taxes                    
Shareholders’ Net Income  $1,169   $1,116   $6,668   $5,365 
Net Realized Investment Losses (Gains)1   (12)   (59)   503    (158)
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets1   284    326    1,345    1,494 
Special Items1   73    189    (1,232)   279

Shareholders’ Net Income, per share   $3.83   $3.39   $21.30   $15.73 
Adjusted Income from Operations1, per share  $4.96   $4.77   $23.27   $20.47 

 

 

The full year 2022 Shareholders’ Net Income increased 24% from full year 2021, reflecting the gain on the Chubb transaction3 as well as continued growth from Evernorth and Cigna Healthcare. Adjusted income from operations1 for full year 2022 increased 4% from full year 2021 with contributions from both Evernorth and Cigna Healthcare. Excluding the divested businesses3,4,6, adjusted income from operations1 increased 9% for full year 2022 compared to full year 2021.

 

The SG&A expense ratio7 on a GAAP basis was 7.3% for full year 2022 compared to 7.5% for full year 2021. The adjusted SG&A expense ratio7 was 7.2% for full year 2022 compared to 7.3% for full year 2021 as revenue growth and continued expense efficiencies were partially offset by strategic investments.

 

The effective tax rate on a GAAP basis for full year 2022 was 19.2% compared to 20.2% full year 2021. The adjusted effective tax rate8 for full year 2022 was 21.1% compared to 22.2% for full year 2021.

 

The debt-to-capitalization ratio decreased to 40.9% at December 31, 2022 compared to 41.7% at December 31, 2021.

 

In 2022, the Company repurchased 27.4 million shares of common stock for $7.6 billion. Year to date through February 2, 2023, the Company repurchased 1.6 million shares of common stock for approximately $510 million.

 

On February 2, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $1.23 per share of Cigna common stock to be paid on March 23, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of trading on March 8, 2023. This reflects a 10% increase from the 2022 cash dividend of $1.12 per share.

Total pharmacy customer base in 2022 decreased by 2% to 105.6 million due to client attrition in early 2022.

 

The total medical customer base9 at the end of 2022 grew 5% to 18.0 million, an increase of 923,000 customers from December 31, 2021, primarily driven by growth in U.S. Commercial, partially offset by a decrease in U.S. Government inclusive of the divestiture of the Medicaid4 business.

Cigna Healthcare

 

This segment includes U.S. Commercial, U.S. Government and International Health businesses which provide comprehensive medical benefits and coordinated solutions to clients and customers. U.S. Commercial products and services include medical, pharmacy, behavioral health, dental, and other products and services for insured and self-insured clients. U.S. Government solutions include Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and Medicare Part D plans for seniors, and individual health insurance plans. International Health solutions include health care coverage in our international markets, as well as health care benefits for globally mobile individuals and employees of multinational organizations.

 

Financial Results (dollars in millions):      
   Three Months Ended  Year Ended
   December 31,  December 31,
   2022  2021  2022  2021
             
Adjusted Revenues5,11  $11,131   $11,214   $45,036   $44,652 
Adjusted Income from Operations, Pre-Tax1  $500   $472   $4,072   $3,609 
Adjusted Margin, Pre-Tax10   4.5%    4.2%    9.0%    8.1% 

 

Fourth quarter 2022 adjusted revenues5,11 decreased 1% compared with fourth quarter 2021. Excluding the divested Medicaid business4,6, fourth quarter 2022 adjusted revenues5,11 grew 1%. This growth reflects increased specialty contributions, premium increases to cover underlying cost trends and U.S. Commercial and International Health customer growth, partially offset by lower U.S. Government medical customers and lower net investment income.

 

Fourth quarter 2022 adjusted income from operations, pre-tax1 increased 6% relative to fourth quarter 2021, due to a lower MCR7, inclusive of effective execution of pricing and affordability initiatives, partially offset by lower net investment income.

 

The Cigna Healthcare MCR7 of 84.0% for fourth quarter 2022 compares to 87.0% for fourth quarter 2021, reflecting lower direct COVID-19 costs and improved stop-loss results. The fourth quarter 2022 MCR7 also benefited from effective execution in pricing and affordability initiatives.

 

The Cigna Healthcare MCR7 of 81.7% for full year 2022 compares to 84.0% for full year 2021, reflecting lower direct COVID-19 costs. The full year 2022 MCR7 also benefited from effective execution in pricing and affordability initiatives in our U.S. Commercial business partially offset by U.S. Government risk adjustment updates related to prior years.

 

Cigna Healthcare net medical costs payable12 was $3.96 billion at December 31, 2022, $4.05 billion at September 30, 2022, and $4.00 billion at December 31, 2021. Favorable prior year reserve development on a gross pre-tax basis was $259 million and $219 million for the full year 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Notes:

 

  1. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is a principal financial measure of profitability used by Cigna’s management because it presents the underlying results of operations of Cigna’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. Cigna’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.

  1. 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 Cigna’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, Cigna 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 Cigna 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.

  1. 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.

  1. On January 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Texas Medicaid contracts to Molina Healthcare, Inc.

  1. Adjusted revenues is used by Cigna’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 Cigna'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.

 

  1. The divested international3 and Medicaid4 businesses had adjusted income from operations1, after-tax, of $1 million and $149 million in fourth quarter 2022 and fourth quarter 2021, respectively. Consolidated adjusted income from operations1 in fourth quarter 2022 and fourth quarter 2021 excluding the adjusted income from operations1 of the divested international3 and Medicaid4 businesses was $1,513 million and $1,423 million, respectively. The divested international3 and Medicaid4 businesses had adjusted income from operations1, after tax, of $375 million and $622 million in full year 2022 and full year 2021, respectively. Consolidated adjusted income from operations1 in full year 2022 and full year 2021 excluding the adjusted income from operations1 of the divested international3 and Medicaid4 businesses was $6,909 million and $6,358 million, respectively.

7.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 full year 2022 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $13,186 million as a percentage of total revenue of $180.5 billion at a consolidated level. SG&A expense ratio on a GAAP basis for the full year 2021 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $13,030 million as a percentage of total revenue of $174.1 billion at a consolidated level.

Adjusted SG&A expense ratio for the full year 2021 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $12,720 million excluding special items of $310 million as a percentage of adjusted revenue at a consolidated level.

  1. 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. Cigna’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.

 

  1. 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; have access to Cigna's provider network for covered services under their medical plan; or have medical claims and services that are administered by Cigna.
Prior year lives include the Medicaid customers which were divested on January 1, 2022.
International Health medical customers excludes medical customers served by less than 100% owned subsidiaries.
Policies issued by the sold international life, accident, and supplemental benefits businesses3 and the joint venture in Türkiye3 have been excluded from customer relationships.

 

  1. Adjusted margin, pre-tax, is calculated by dividing adjusted income (loss) from operations, pre-tax by adjusted revenues for each segment.

 

  1. Cigna owns a 50% noncontrolling interest in its China joint venture. As such, the adjusted revenues for the Cigna Healthcare segment only include Cigna’s 50% share of the joint venture’s earnings reported in Fees and Other Revenues using the equity method of accounting under GAAP.

 

  1. Medical costs payable within the Cigna Healthcare segment are presented net of reinsurance and other recoverables. The gross medical costs payable balance was $4.18 billion as of December 31, 2022, $4.25 billion as of September 30, 2022, and $4.26 billion as of December 31, 2021.

 

  1. Cigna’s outlook for full year 2023 includes the expected impacts of the FASB’s new accounting for Long-Duration Insurance Contracts (“LDTI”) that is required to be adopted on January 1, 2023. The adoption of LDTI is not expected to result in a material restatement of Cigna's results in prior periods.
