CIGNA REPORTS STRONG FULL YEAR 2013 RESULTS, EXPECTS GROWTH IN 2014

Consolidated revenues for 2013 increased 11% to $32.4 billion.

Adjusted income from operations1 for 2013 increased 11% to $1.93 billion, or $6.79 on a per share basis, which was a 13% increase over 2012.

Shareholders’ net income for 2013 was $1.48 billion, or $5.18 per share.

2014 adjusted income from operations1,3 is estimated to be in the range of $1.9 billion to $2.0 billion, or $6.80 to $7.20 per share.5

BLOOMFIELD, CT, February 7, 2014 – Cigna Corporation (NYSE: CI) today reported strong full year 2013 results with each of the Company's business segments posting revenue and earnings growth over the prior year.

Consolidated revenues for 2013 were $32.4 billion, an increase of 11% over 2012. Revenues reflect growth in premiums and fees of 9% in Global Health Care, 27% in Global Supplemental Benefits and 10% in Group Disability and Life, primarily driven by continued growth in Cigna's targeted customer segments.

Cigna's adjusted income from operations1 for full year 2013 increased 11% to $1.93 billion, or $6.79 per share, compared with $1.73 billion, or $5.99 per share, for 2012. This represents per share growth of 13% and reflects strong revenue growth, continued effective medical cost management in our Commercial book, and a lower operating expense ratio, partially offset by pressure in Medicare Advantage results. For the fourth quarter of 2013, adjusted income from operations1 was $387 million, or $1.39 per share, compared to $452 million, or $1.57 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2012.

“Cigna's operating performance in 2013 was strong, driven by the continued effective execution of our strategy which resulted in improved health outcomes and productivity for our customers and clients,” said David M. Cordani, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In the midst of an environment undergoing rapid change and disruption, our focused strategy and differentiated capabilities will enable us to deliver continued future growth.”

Cigna also reported shareholders’ net income in 2013 of $1.48 billion, or $5.18 per share, compared to $1.62 billion, or $5.61 per share, for 2012. Shareholders’ net income in 2013 included special items4 which resulted in after-tax charges of $622 million, or $2.19 per share, compared to after-tax charges of $171 million, or $0.59 per share, in 2012.

For the fourth quarter of 2013, shareholders’ net income was $361 million, or $1.29 per share, compared with $406 million, or $1.41 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2012. Fourth quarter 2013 shareholders’ net income included a special item4 which resulted in after-tax losses of $40 million, or $0.15 per share, related to costs associated with an organizational efficiency plan, compared to a special item4 which resulted in after-tax losses of $68 million, or $0.24 per share, for litigation matters in the fourth quarter of 2012.

The foregoing statements represent the Company’s current estimates of Cigna's 2014 consolidated and segment adjusted income from operations1,3 and global medical customer growth as of the date of this release. Actual results may differ materially depending on a number of factors. Investors are urged to read the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements included in this release. Management does not assume any obligation to update these estimates.

This quarterly earnings release and the Quarterly Financial Supplement are available on Cigna’s website in the Investor Relations section (http://www.cigna.com/aboutcigna/investors). A link to the conference call, during which management will review full year 2013 results and discuss full year 2014 outlook, is available in the Investor Relations section of Cigna's website located at http://www.cigna.com/cignadotcom/aboutcigna/investors/events/index.page.

Notes:

Adjusted income (loss) from operations is defined as segment earnings (loss) excluding (i) special items (which are identified and quantified in Exhibit 2 to this release) and (ii) the results of Cigna's Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefits (GMIB) business. Segment earnings (loss) is defined as shareholders’ net income (loss) before net realized investment results.

Adjusted income (loss) from operations is a 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. This measure is not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which are segment earnings (loss) and shareholders’ net income; see Exhibit 2 for reconciliations of the non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

The GMIB business and Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits business, also known as Variable Annuity Death Benefits (VADBe), are included in our Run-off Reinsurance segment. These businesses have been in run-off since 2000.

During the first quarter of 2013, Cigna entered into a definitive agreement with Berkshire Hathaway to exit the GMIB and VADBe businesses, effective February 4, 2013.

At this time, management is unable to identify or reasonably estimate future net realized investment results or special items; therefore, it is not possible to provide a forward-looking reconciliation of adjusted income from operations to shareholders’ net income for 2014.

Special items included in shareholders’ net income and segment earnings (loss), but excluded from adjusted income (loss) from operations, are noted on Exhibit 2 to this earnings release.

The Company may repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time pursuant to written trading plans under Rule 10b5-1. The Company’s outlook excludes the potential effects of any share repurchases after the date of this release.

Adjusted margin, after-tax, is calculated by dividing segment earnings (loss) excluding special items by segment revenues. Segment margin is calculated by dividing segment earnings (loss) by segment revenue. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2013, segment margin was 4.5% and 6.0%, respectively for Global Health Care, 4.6% and 6.6%, respectively for Global Supplemental Benefits, and 6.8% and 6.9%, respectively for Group Disability and Life.

Global Health Care medical claims payable are presented net of reinsurance and other recoverables. The gross Global Health Care medical claims payable balance was $2,050 million as of December 31, 2013 and $1,856 million as of December 31, 2012.

Cigna owns a 50% noncontrolling interest in its China joint venture. Cigna's 50% share of the joint venture’s earnings is reported in Other Revenues using the equity method of accounting under GAAP. As such, the premiums and fees and policy counts from the China joint venture are not included in the financial results table for the Global Supplemental Benefits segment presented in the earnings release.

In connection with U.S. health care reform legislation, the Company ceased offering Limited Medical Benefits products effective December 31, 2013. Therefore, in determining our medical customer growth expectations for 2014 we have excluded these products from the year-end 2013 customer numbers.
