Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to reaffirm The Cigna Group's projected full-year 2023 consolidated adjusted income from operations on a per share basis, stating it is expected to be at least $24.70 per share.

Yes, The Cigna Group previously discussed this full-year 2023 outlook in its press release and investor presentation dated August 3, 2023.

Adjusted income from operations is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to present the underlying results of operations. It excludes items like net realized investment results, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and special items, which are considered not representative of ongoing business performance. Cigna uses it to analyze trends in revenue, expenses, and profitability.

No, the company states that management cannot provide a forward-looking reconciliation of adjusted income from operations to GAAP shareholders' net income because certain components, such as future net realized investment results and special items, are inherently uncertain and unpredictable without unreasonable effort.
