CIGNA REPORTS STRONG THIRD QUARTER 2015 RESULTS, RAISES OUTLOOK


 
o
Consolidated revenues increased 7% to $9.4 billion in the third quarter

 
o
Adjusted income from operations1 was $593 million, or $2.28 per share, with per share growth of 11% over third quarter 2014

 
o
Shareholders’ net income for the third quarter was $547 million, or $2.10 per share

 
o
Projected adjusted income from operations1,2 for 2015 is now estimated to be in the range of $2.19 billion to $2.24 billion, or $8.40 to $8.60 per share3


BLOOMFIELD, CT, November 6, 2015 – Cigna Corporation (NYSE: CI) today reported third quarter 2015 results with strong revenue and earnings contributions across the Company’s diversified portfolio of businesses driven by the continued effective execution of our strategy.  Consolidated revenues in the quarter were $9.4 billion, an increase of 7% over third quarter 2014.

Cigna's adjusted income from operations1 for the third quarter of 2015 was $593 million, or $2.28 per share, compared to $548 million, or $2.06 per share, for the third quarter of 2014.  Results reflect strong revenue growth, continued favorable medical and operating costs in the Global Healthcare segment, as well as improvement in disability and life claims experience in the Group Disability and Life segment.

Cigna also reported shareholders’ net income of $547 million, or $2.10 per share, for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $534 million, or $2.01 per share, for third quarter of 2014.  Shareholders’ net income for the third quarter of 2015 included a special item1, which was a charge of $29 million after-tax, or $0.11 per share, for transaction costs related to Cigna’s proposed merger with Anthem.

“Cigna’s third quarter results demonstrate the ongoing value we deliver to our customers and clients,” said David M. Cordani, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “The effective execution of our focused strategy to provide affordable, personalized solutions is reflected in our increased outlook for 2015 and gives us the momentum to drive continued growth in 2016.”

Cigna expects to grow revenue, adjusted income from operations1, and adjusted income from operations on a per share basis1,3 in 2016.  The outlook for 2016 earnings reflects continued strong performance in our ongoing businesses, including growth in medical customers and specialty relationships, increased operating expense efficiencies, and margin improvement in our Medicare Advantage business.  We expect those dynamics to be partially offset by foreign exchange pressure in our Global Supplemental Benefits business, increased spending for strategic initiatives, and the absence of prior year development in our forecast.

Expected revenue growth in 2016 reflects overall customer growth, with some offset from an expected reduction in Individual and Medicare Part D customers in 2016, as well as foreign exchange pressure in our Global Supplemental Benefits business.

·
Global Health Care results were strong in both our Commercial employer and Government businesses this quarter.

·
Third quarter 2015 premiums and fees increased 8% relative to third quarter 2014, driven by customer growth, particularly in our Government businesses, specialty contributions including our Stop loss and Dental businesses, and rate actions in our Commercial employer group business.  The decline in third quarter 2015 premiums and fees relative to second quarter 2015 is primarily driven by the seasonal impact of Medicare Part D risk corridor adjustments.

·
The third quarter 2015 medical customer base totaled 14.8 million, representing growth of approximately 400,000 on a year to date basis, including growth in our Regional, International, Select and Medicare businesses.

·
Third quarter 2015 adjusted income from operations1 reflect consistent strong performance in our Commercial and Government businesses, including favorable specialty and medical cost results, as well as operating expense efficiency.

·
Adjusted income from operations1 for third quarter 2015, third quarter 2014, and second quarter 2015 include favorable prior year reserve development on an after-tax basis of approximately $13 million, $7 million and $19 million respectively.  Total prior period reserve development, inclusive of in year development, was relatively consistent for each of the respective time periods.

·
On a year to date basis, Cigna has recorded receivables of approximately $195 million, after-tax related to 2015 risk mitigation programs with approximately 40% of the total related to reinsurance and the remainder split fairly evenly between risk adjustment and risk corridor.

·
The Total Commercial medical care ratio of 79.3% in third quarter 2015 reflects the ongoing strong performance of our Commercial employer business. The increase in the MCR in the quarter relative to third quarter 2014 was primarily due to higher claims in our U.S. Individual business.

·
The Total Government medical care ratio of 83.6% in the third quarter 2015 reflects ongoing strong performance in our Medicare Advantage business and continued pressure, as expected, in our Medicare Part D business.

·
Year-to-date medical cost trend for our total U.S. Commercial book of business reflects continued favorable medical costs, physician engagement and low utilization trend.  We continue to expect full year medical cost trend in the range of 5% to 6%.

·
The reduction in the third quarter 2015 Global Healthcare operating expense ratio to 20.8% was due to ongoing efficiency gains.

·
Global Health Care net medical costs payable6 was approximately $2.23 billion at September 30, 2015 and $1.93 billion at December 31, 2014.

2015 OUTLOOK

Cigna's outlook for full year 2015 consolidated adjusted income from operations1,2 is in the range of $2.19 billion to $2.24 billion, or $8.40 to $8.60 per share, an increase of $0.05 per share at the midpoint.

Cigna's outlook for fourth quarter 2015 consolidated adjusted income from operations1,2 is in the range of $420 million to $470 million, or $1.61 to $1.81 per share.  The sequential decline in earnings is impacted by the normal seasonal claims pattern from high deductible plans and a projected increase in spending on strategic investments for growth, partially offset by the impact of the seasonal Medicare Part D annual earnings pattern.

Cigna’s outlook for both full year 2015 and fourth quarter 2015 excludes the impact of additional prior year reserve development or the potential effects of future capital deployment.3

The foregoing statements represent the Company’s current estimates of Cigna's 2015 and 2016 consolidated and segment adjusted income from operations1,2 and other key metrics 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.

Notes:

 
1.
Effective January 1, 2015, adjusted income (loss) from operations is defined as shareholders’ net income (loss) excluding the following after-tax adjustments: net realized investment results, amortization of other acquired intangible assets and special items.  Prior year amounts have been adjusted for the exclusion of amortization of other acquired intangible assets.  Special items are identified in Exhibit 2 of this earnings release.

 
 
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 consolidated 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 measure, shareholders’ net income. See Exhibit 2 for a reconciliation of adjusted income from operations to shareholders’ net income.
 
 
2.
Management is unable to provide a forward-looking reconciliation of adjusted income (loss) from operations to shareholders’ net income for full year 2015 because future net realized investment results, amortization of other acquired intangible assets and additional special items cannot be identified or reasonably estimated at this time.

 
3.
The Company’s outlook excludes the potential effects of any share repurchases or business combinations that may occur after the date of this earnings release.

 
4.
Prior period dental customers have been revised to conform to current presentation.

 
5.
Adjusted margin, after-tax, is calculated by dividing adjusted income (loss) from operations by operating revenues for each segment.

 
6.
Global Health Care medical costs payable are presented net of reinsurance and other recoverables.  The gross Global Health Care medical costs payable balance was $2.46 billion as of September 30, 2015 and $2.18 billion as of December 31, 2014.

 
7.
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 for the Global Supplemental Benefits segment do not include the China joint venture.

 
8.
Impact of foreign currency movements was determined by applying actual 2015 currency exchange rates to results for the 9 months ended September 30, 2014.

 
9.
Operating ratios are defined as follows:
 
·
Total Commercial medical care ratio represents medical costs as a percentage of premiums for all commercial risk products, including medical, pharmacy, dental, stop loss and behavioral products provided through guaranteed cost or experience-rated funding arrangements in both the United States and internationally.
 
·
Total Government medical care ratio represents medical costs as a percentage of premiums for Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D, and Medicaid products.
 
·
Global Health Care Operating Expense Ratio represents operating expenses excluding acquisition related amortization expense as a percentage of operating revenue in the Global Health Care segment.

 
10.
Global medical customers include individuals 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.
