Summary
Elevance Health, Inc. (formerly WellPoint, Inc.) reported its financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2012. For the second quarter, total revenues increased by 2.0% to $15.4 billion, while net income decreased by 8.3% to $643.6 million. This decrease was primarily attributed to higher litigation settlement costs, which were non-tax deductible, leading to increased general and administrative expenses and income tax expense. Diluted EPS saw a slight increase to $1.94, benefiting from a lower share count due to share repurchases. For the first half of 2012, total revenues grew by 2.8% to $30.8 billion, with net income declining by 7.9% to $1.5 billion. Similar to the quarterly results, the year-to-date decline in net income was driven by the non-tax deductible litigation settlement costs and lower operating results in the Commercial segment, partly offset by improvements in the Consumer segment. Diluted EPS for the first half increased to $4.48. The company also announced its intent to acquire Amerigroup Corporation for approximately $4.9 billion, a significant strategic move to expand its reach in serving vulnerable populations.
