BLOOMFIELD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cigna Corporation (NYSE: CI) today reported third quarter 2018 results, with strong performance across all of our businesses.
“Cigna continues to provide more affordable, personalized solutions for our customers and clients, enabling us to deliver strong results,” said David M. Cordani, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Looking ahead to 2019, we expect to continue driving innovation, growth and value, all of which will be further enhanced through our pending combination with Express Scripts.”
Total revenues1 in the quarter were $11.5 billion, an increase of 9% over third quarter 2017, led by continued strong business growth in Cigna's Global Health Care and Global Supplemental Benefits segments.
For the third quarter of 2018, shareholders’ net income was $772 million, or $3.14 per share, compared with $560 million, or $2.21 per share, for the third quarter of 2017.
Cigna's adjusted income from operations2 for the third quarter of 2018 was $945 million, or $3.84 per share, compared with $716 million, or $2.83 per share, for the third quarter of 2017. This represents per share growth of 36% and reflects continued strong contributions from each of the company’s growth platforms.

Notes:
1. |
Effective January 1, 2018, the company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” through full retrospective restatement. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 had no impact to shareholders’ net income, adjusted income from operations or cash flows, however the adoption resulted in certain reclassifications in the Consolidated and Global Health Care Segment income statements. Additional information regarding adoption of the new revenue accounting standard is available in the company’s Form 10-Q expected to be filed on November 1, 2018. |
|||||||
2. |
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. Special items are identified in Exhibit 2 of this earnings release. Third quarter 2018 total revenues included a special item of $13 million for net investment income associated with short-term investment of proceeds from the company’s September 2018 debt offering. |
|||||||
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 (GAAP) and should not be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, shareholders’ net income. See Exhibits 1 and 2 for a reconciliation of adjusted income from operations to shareholders’ net income. |
||||||||
3. |
Management is not able to provide a reconciliation to shareholders’ net income (loss) on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict, without unreasonable effort, certain components thereof including (i) future net realized investment results and (ii) future special items. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. As such, any associated estimate and its impact on shareholders’ net income could vary materially. |
|||||||
4. |
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. Also, the company’s outlook is presented on the basis of the new revenue accounting standard (ASU 2014-09) adopted effective January 1, 2018. |
|||||||
5. |
The measure “consolidated operating 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.” We define consolidated operating revenues as total revenues excluding realized investment results and special items. Investment gains or losses are managed based on factors largely unrelated to the underlying business purpose of each segment and are not indicative of the underlying performance of our core business operations, so they are excluded from consolidated operating revenues. See Exhibit 1 for a reconciliation of consolidated operating revenues to total revenues. |
|||||||
6. |
Adjusted margin, after-tax, is calculated by dividing adjusted income (loss) from operations by operating revenues for each segment. |
|||||||
7. |
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. |
|||||||
8. |
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 and special items, as a percentage of operating revenue in the Global Health Care segment. |
|||||||
9. |
Global Health Care medical costs payable are presented net of reinsurance and other recoverables. The gross Global Health Care medical costs payable balance was $2.96 billion as of September 30, 2018 and $2.72 billion as of December 31, 2017. |
|||||||
10. |
Cigna owns a 50% noncontrolling interest in its China joint venture and a 49% noncontrolling interest in its India joint venture. Only Cigna's proportional share of these joint ventures’ earnings is reported in operating revenues using the equity method of accounting under GAAP. The policy counts for the Global Supplemental Benefits segment do not include the China and India joint ventures. |
|||||||
11. |
Medical cost trend includes all U.S. commercial employer funding arrangements. |
|||||||
12. |
The measure “consolidated adjusted 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 consolidated adjusted tax rate as the income tax rate applicable to the company’s pre-tax income excluding net realized investment results, net amortization of other acquired intangible assets and special items. 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 including (i) future net realized investment results and (ii) future special items. |
