The Cigna Group Reports Strong Third Quarter 2026 Results, Raises 2026 Outlook

BLOOMFIELD, CT, November 5, 2026 – Global health company The Cigna Group (NYSE: CI) today reported third quarter 2026 results, reflecting disciplined execution across its businesses and the strength of its capabilities to address increasingly complex health needs.

“Our vision for The Cigna Group’s next chapter of profitable growth is grounded in delivering greater value and personalized experiences for our customers, with three priorities: driving core growth, leveraging our distinct capabilities, and executing with discipline,” said Brian Evanko, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Cigna Group. “As we put our strategy in action, our strong third quarter results demonstrate how we are building on this momentum by making health care more affordable and personalized, while advancing Accelerate to One to drive productivity, reduce costs, and support sustained long-term earnings growth.”

Shareholders’ net income for third quarter 2026 was $1.4 billion, or $5.47 per share compared to $1.9 billion, or $6.98 per share for third quarter 2025, primarily reflecting the absence of an after-tax gain on sale recognized in third quarter 2025.

The Cigna Group’s adjusted income from operations¹ for third quarter 2026 was $2.1 billion, or $7.98 per share, compared with $2.1 billion, or $7.83 per share, for third quarter 2025.

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.

About The Cigna Group

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 normal, recurring 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.

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.
