Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Oct 13, 2026)
On October 13, 2026, Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) announced a new joint venture with funds and accounts managed by HPS Investment Partners, a part of BlackRock, to manage and operate an existing network of nearly 150 CenterWell Senior Primary Care clinics. The new joint venture replaces CenterWell's existing joint ventures with Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe (WCAS) through BlackRock's acquisition of WCAS's current equity stake, which is valued at approximately $2.8 billion, with modified terms. The new joint venture is majority owned by BlackRock and minority owned by CenterWell, and CenterWell will continue to manage the clinics. Humana expects a significant reduction in balance sheet liabilities because the new arrangement has no put option, though it will create a derivative instrument recorded at fair value. Humana also anticipates a significantly lower cost of capital and expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals. Humana also affirmed its FY 2026 guidance of at least $9.00 in adjusted EPS, stating it does not expect changes to that non-GAAP guidance. The company does expect potential changes to its FY 2026 GAAP EPS guidance, driven by value creation initiatives including the significant reduction in liabilities from removing the WCAS put option. The company is still completing its close for the third quarter and says a GAAP reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort at this time. The release states the transaction is not expected to have a material impact on Humana's 2026 adjusted earnings guidance. The filing also notes this is Humana's second strategic transaction with BlackRock this year, following a definitive agreement to divest all or substantially all of its minority interest in Gentiva to a consortium of investors that includes BlackRock. Beginning in 2028, CenterWell may elect to purchase clinics from the joint venture. If CenterWell has not acquired all clinics by the end of 2033, BlackRock may exit through a sale process, subject to CenterWell's right of first offer on remaining clinics.
Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Oct 9, 2026)
Humana Inc. reported in this Form 8-K, under Regulation FD, that based on final 2027 Medicare Advantage (MA) Star Ratings data (Bonus Year 2028) provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on October 8, 2026, it has exceeded its goal of Top Quartile results. The company defines Top Quartile as Stars revenue per member per month (PMPM) 10% above the peer group median, with peers including Centene, CVS, Elevance, HCSC, and United. The comparison normalizes for plan design, geographic mix, and membership mix using a consistent 3.0 benchmark of $1,370, a risk score of 1.15, and a $222 rebate for all payers. Humana cautions that actual 2028 Stars revenue PMPM will differ based on 2028 membership, contract mix, risk scores, benchmark, and rebates. Humana expects to manage its product and benefit structure to approximate Top Quartile results. It anticipates that part of its 2028 outperformance relative to Top Quartile will be one-time in nature, and expects a 2028 benefit that it will use for one-time investments and return to shareholders. The company will provide more detail on the size and use of this benefit once it has more 2028 information, and intends to do so before or when it gives detailed 2028 guidance on its fourth quarter 2027 earnings call. Humana also states it is well positioned to deliver on its commitment to unlock earnings potential by 2028, as laid out at its 2025 Investor Day. It will hold a virtual investor update on December 10, 2026. For 2026, Humana affirmed its guidance of at least $9.00 in adjusted earnings per common share (Adjusted EPS), consistent with its July 29, 2026 press release and its September 1, 2026 Form 8-K. The company is still completing its financial close for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, so it cannot yet reconcile Adjusted EPS guidance to GAAP diluted EPS without unreasonable effort. It does not expect changes to Adjusted EPS guidance but does expect potential changes to its GAAP EPS guidance due to ongoing value creation and other strategic initiatives.
Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Sep 1, 2026)
Humana Inc. (HUM) disclosed in a Regulation FD Current Report filed September 1, 2026 that members of its senior management team are scheduled to meet with investors and analysts between September 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026. During these meetings, the Company intends to reaffirm its FY 2026 guidance of at least $6.52 in diluted earnings per common share (EPS) or at least $9.00 in adjusted earnings per common share (Adjusted EPS). The guidance is consistent with the outlook issued in Humana's press release dated July 29, 2026. The filing notes that the Company will not comment on its 2027 Medicare Advantage (MA) Star Ratings (Bonus Year 2028) until the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) releases final 2027 MA Star Ratings data in October. Investors should therefore not expect Star Ratings commentary during the September meetings. The filing also includes a reconciliation from GAAP EPS to Adjusted (non-GAAP) EPS for FY 2026. The reconciling items are amortization of identifiable intangibles ($0.30), put/call valuation adjustments on non-consolidating minority interest investments ($1.47), value creation initiatives ($1.27), impairment charges ($0.17), and a cumulative net tax impact of $(0.73). The Company states that FY 2026 Adjusted EPS guidance is not expected to change, while GAAP EPS guidance may change due to ongoing value creation and strategic initiatives.
Humana 8-K Report, Executive Changes (Jul 29, 2026)
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 29, 2026, disclosing under Item 5.02 that its Board of Directors expanded the number of authorized directors from eleven to thirteen on July 28, 2026, and elected Frederick J. Crawford and Paul J. Smith as directors, effective the same day. The Board determined both are independent under New York Stock Exchange standards. Each will receive restricted stock units under the company's director compensation program, and no committee appointments have been determined yet. Smith is described in the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) as Chief Commercial Officer at Anthropic, PBC, with more than 30 years of experience scaling go-to-market strategies at enterprise technology companies, including prior roles at ServiceNow, Salesforce and Microsoft. Crawford previously served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Aflac-related insurance holding companies and as President and Chief Operating Officer of Aflac until his retirement in 2024. He also sits on the board of Webster Financial Corporation. Chairman Kurt J. Hilzinger said the new directors will support Humana's long-term vision to become a consumer healthcare company. For investors, the filing is governance-focused and contains no financial results, guidance or transaction terms. The main takeaways are a larger board with two new independent directors bringing technology commercialization and insurance finance expertise.
Humana 8-K Report, Financial Results (Jul 29, 2026)
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) reported second quarter 2026 results on July 29, 2026, furnishing the press release, detailed earnings release with statistical pages, and prepared management remarks as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3. GAAP diluted EPS was $5.73 for 2Q26 versus $4.51 in 2Q25, and Adjusted EPS was $7.61 versus $6.27. Year-to-date GAAP diluted EPS was $15.55 and Adjusted EPS was $17.91. Consolidated revenues were $40.87 billion for the quarter, compared with $32.39 billion a year earlier. The Insurance segment benefit ratio was 91.2%, in line with management's guidance of 'slightly above 91 percent'. The company revised its FY 2026 GAAP EPS guidance to 'at least $6.52' from 'at least $8.36', while affirming Adjusted EPS guidance of 'at least $9.00'. The filing states that the Adjusted EPS outlook anticipates a year-over-year decline because of the Star Ratings headwind for Bonus Year 2026, net of mitigation. Management also affirmed individual Medicare Advantage membership growth of approximately 25% for 2026 and expects third-quarter Adjusted EPS of approximately ($1.00). Full-year guidance for the Insurance segment benefit ratio is 92.75%, plus or minus 25 basis points. Other developments include a statewide Illinois Medicaid managed care contract expected to go live in January 2027, growth of 130,900 patients (27%) in CenterWell Senior Primary Care year to date, and $1.50 billion of pre-capitalized trust security arrangements entered during the quarter. Debt-to-total capitalization was 42.7% at June 30, 2026. Management also said it will hold a virtual investor update on December 10, 2026, and referenced a pending agreement to divest its minority interest in Gentiva, valued at approximately $900 million.
Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Jun 1, 2026)
Humana Inc. (HUM) filed a Form 8-K on June 1, 2026 under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) to announce that members of its senior management team are scheduled to meet with investors and analysts at various meetings between June 1, 2026 and June 30, 2026. At these meetings, the Company intends to reaffirm its FY 2026 guidance of at least $8.36 in diluted GAAP earnings per share or at least $9.00 in Adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings per share. The filing states this guidance is consistent with the guidance issued in Humana's press release dated April 29, 2026. The filing includes a reconciliation from GAAP EPS to Adjusted EPS for FY 2026. The adjustments are amortization of identifiable intangibles of $0.30, put/call valuation adjustments associated with non-consolidating minority interest investments of $(0.28), value creation initiatives of $0.81, and a cumulative net tax impact of $(0.19). The Company states it does not expect changes to its FY 2026 Adjusted EPS guidance, but it does expect potential changes to its FY 2026 GAAP EPS guidance due to ongoing value creation and other strategic initiatives. For investors, the key takeaway is that Humana is reaffirming, rather than changing, its previously issued full-year 2026 earnings outlook ahead of investor meetings in June. The filing also flags that GAAP EPS guidance may move while Adjusted EPS guidance is expected to hold, so the gap between the two measures is one to watch.
Humana 8-K Report, Material Agreement (May 19, 2026)
Humana Inc. reported on Form 8-K that on May 15, 2026 (the Closing Date) its two special-purpose trusts, Horseshoe Funding Trust I and Horseshoe Funding Trust II, completed the sale of 750,000 Pre-Capitalized Trust Securities (P-Caps) each, for an aggregate purchase price of $750,000,000 per trust, in offerings exempt from Securities Act registration. The P-Caps give Humana on-demand access to capital: Humana may issue up to $750,000,000 of 6.062% Senior Notes due 2036 to the 2036 Trust over a ten-year period and up to $750,000,000 of 6.887% Senior Notes due 2055 to the 2055 Trust over a thirty-year period. Each trust invested the proceeds in U.S. Treasury principal and interest strips, which are pledged to secure the trusts' obligations to Humana. Under the Facility Agreements, Humana pays semi-annual facility fees at 1.661% per annum (2036 Trust) and 1.916% per annum (2055 Trust) on the unexercised portion of each Issuance Right. Issuance Rights are exercised automatically upon certain payment defaults, bankruptcy events, and, among other triggers, if Humana reasonably believes its consolidated net worth has fallen below $4.0 billion. The filing also describes change-of-control repurchase obligations at 101% of the initial purchase price (P-Caps) and 101% of principal plus accrued interest (Senior Notes), a make-whole redemption before the Par Call Dates of November 15, 2035 (2036 notes) and May 15, 2055 (2055 notes), and covenants restricting liens, mergers and sales of substantially all assets. The filing is incorporated under Items 1.01 and 2.03, and the P-Caps carry no registration rights and are restricted to qualified institutional buyers and qualified purchasers.
Humana 8-K Report, Financial Results (Apr 29, 2026)
Humana Inc. reported first-quarter 2026 GAAP diluted EPS of $9.83, compared with $10.30 in 1Q25, and Adjusted (non-GAAP) EPS of $10.31, compared with $11.58. Revenues rose to $39,648 million from $32,112 million, while GAAP pretax results fell to $1,595 million from $1,691 million. The consolidated benefit ratio increased to 89.4 percent from 87.0 percent, which the company attributes mainly to the Bonus Year 2026 Star Ratings revenue headwind, growth in individual Medicare Advantage membership, and lower favorable prior period development ($389 million in 1Q26 versus $477 million in 1Q25). The consolidated operating cost ratio improved to 10.2 percent from 10.6 percent on a GAAP basis. Operating cash flows were $1,254 million, compared with $331 million a year earlier. Humana revised its FY 2026 GAAP EPS guidance to 'at least $8.36' from 'at least $8.89' and affirmed Adjusted EPS guidance of 'at least $9.00'. The company also affirmed an Insurance segment benefit ratio guidance of 92.75 percent, plus or minus 25 basis points, and expects individual Medicare Advantage membership growth of approximately 25 percent. Management said second-quarter earnings are expected to be approximately 80 to 85 percent of expected FY 2026 Adjusted earnings, with a second-quarter Insurance benefit ratio slightly above 91 percent. Debt-to-total capitalization rose to 43.0 percent from 41.1 percent at December 31, 2025, reflecting a $1.0 billion public offering announced in March 2026. Leadership changes were also announced. George Renaudin, Insurance Segment President, will retire effective June 29, 2026, and Aaron Martin will lead day-to-day Insurance Segment management until then and formally assume the role upon Renaudin's retirement. John Barger will begin leading Medicare Advantage operations immediately.

Humana 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Mar 9, 2026)
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) priced and completed a public offering of $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2056. The underwriting agreement was dated March 5, 2026, the notes were sold at 100.000% of principal amount, and the offering closed on March 9, 2026. Net proceeds are expected to be approximately $986 million after underwriters' discounts and estimated offering expenses. The notes are unsecured subordinated obligations, junior in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness, effectively junior to any future secured debt to the extent of collateral, and structurally subordinated to all liabilities of Humana's subsidiaries. Interest is fixed at 6.625% until September 15, 2031, then resets every five years to the five-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus 2.891%, with a floor of 6.625%. Humana may defer interest payments for up to 10 consecutive years, provided no event of default is continuing. The notes mature September 15, 2056. Humana intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repaying existing indebtedness, including commercial paper borrowings. The filing also notes that the underwriters and their affiliates have provided commercial banking and other services to Humana, and that affiliates of the underwriters are lenders under Humana's revolving credit facility. The 8-K's risk factor summaries reiterate known risks, including Medicare Advantage Star Ratings, the Final RADV Rule, and regulatory exposure.
Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Mar 2, 2026)
Humana Inc. (HUM) disclosed in a Regulation FD filing dated March 2, 2026 that members of its senior management team are scheduled to meet with investors and analysts at various meetings between March 2, 2026 and March 31, 2026. At these meetings, the Company intends to reaffirm its FY 2026 guidance of at least $8.89 in diluted GAAP earnings per common share or at least $9.00 in Adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings per common share. The filing states this guidance is consistent with the guidance issued in Humana's press release dated February 11, 2026. The filing provides a reconciliation of the GAAP guidance to the Adjusted figure. It adds $0.15 for amortization of identifiable intangibles and subtracts $0.04 for the cumulative net tax impact, bringing the at-least-$8.89 GAAP figure to at least $9.00 on an adjusted basis. Management states it does not expect changes to the FY 2026 Adjusted EPS guidance, but does expect potential changes to the FY 2026 GAAP EPS guidance due to ongoing value creation and other strategic initiatives. For investors, the key point is that this filing reaffirms rather than revises guidance. The notable element is the explicit expectation that GAAP EPS guidance may move while Adjusted EPS guidance is held steady, a distinction that matters when comparing the two measures.
Humana 8-K Report, Financial Results (Feb 11, 2026)
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) reported fourth-quarter 2025 results on February 11, 2026, with a GAAP net loss per share of $6.61 (Adjusted net loss per share of $3.96) and full-year 2025 GAAP EPS of $9.84 (Adjusted $17.14). Fourth-quarter GAAP pretax results were a loss of $1,011 million, driven by $221 million in impairment charges and $129 million in value creation initiative costs, among other adjustments. The Insurance segment GAAP benefit ratio was 93.1% for 4Q25 and 90.4% for full-year 2025, the latter described as slightly better than the top end of guidance of 90.1% to 90.5%. Full-year 2025 operating cash flow was $921 million, down from $2,966 million in 2024, and debt-to-total capitalization rose to 41.1% from 40.3% at September 30, 2025. For 2026, Humana introduced GAAP EPS guidance of at least $8.89 and Adjusted EPS guidance of at least $9.00, with management attributing the year-over-year decline to the Bonus Year 2026 Star Ratings headwind, net of mitigation. Management anticipates individual Medicare Advantage membership growth of approximately 25% over 2025. January 2026 individual Medicare Advantage membership approximated 6,280,000, up 1,030,700, or 20%, from December 31, 2025, following the 2026 Annual Election Period. The company also projects 2026 Insurance segment benefit ratio of 92.75% (plus or minus 25 basis points), consolidated operating cost ratio of 10.0% (plus or minus 25 basis points), and cash flows from operations of $2.5 billion to $2.9 billion. The filing also highlights continued growth in CenterWell and Medicaid, with CenterWell Senior Primary Care patients growing by 100,600 (over 25%) in 2025, including about 32,000 from The Villages Health acquisition, and Medicaid operations now spanning 13 states. Management's prepared remarks note that the company's 2026 individual MA margin outlook is slightly below breakeven after accounting for the Star Ratings headwind, and that first-quarter 2026 earnings are expected to be approximately 110% to 115% of expected full-year 2026 Adjusted earnings.
Humana 8-K Report, Executive Changes (Dec 16, 2025)
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) announced on December 16, 2025 a leadership transition in its Insurance segment. George Renaudin, Insurance Segment President and member of the Enterprise Leadership Team, will retire by the third quarter of 2026 after a 29-year career. He will serve as a strategic advisor through December 31, 2026, then move to the variable staffing pool (temporary worker status) until March 1, 2027. During the advisory period he keeps his current base salary, annual incentive opportunity and benefits; during the VSP period he receives no salary, only an hourly rate for work performed, plus continued equity vesting. At the end of the VSP period, and subject to a general release and non-compete and non-solicit compliance, he will receive benefits under Section 3 of the Company's Executive Severance Policy. Aaron Martin will join in January 2026 as President of Medicare Advantage, a newly created role reporting jointly to Renaudin and CEO Jim Rechtin. After Renaudin's transition, Martin becomes Insurance Segment President, and John Barger, currently President of the Medicaid and Dual Eligible programs, will be promoted to President of Medicare Advantage, reporting to Martin. Martin previously served as Vice President of Healthcare at Amazon and as Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer at Providence. In a separate Regulation FD disclosure, Humana reaffirmed its FY 2025 guidance of approximately $12.26 diluted GAAP EPS and approximately $17.00 Adjusted (non-GAAP) EPS, consistent with its November 5, 2025 press release and December 1, 2025 Form 8-K. The company stated it does not expect changes to Adjusted EPS guidance but may see changes to GAAP EPS guidance from ongoing value creation and strategic initiatives.
Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Dec 1, 2025)
Humana Inc. filed this Form 8-K under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) to announce that members of its senior management team are scheduled to meet with investors and analysts between December 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025. During these meetings, the Company intends to reaffirm its guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 (FY 2025) of approximately $12.26 in diluted earnings per common share (GAAP EPS) or approximately $17.00 in adjusted earnings per common share (Adjusted EPS). The guidance is consistent with the figures issued in the Company's press release dated November 5, 2025. The filing includes a reconciliation from GAAP EPS to Adjusted EPS. The adjustments include amortization of identifiable intangibles ($0.42), put/call valuation adjustments associated with non-consolidating minority interest investments ($3.81), value creation initiatives ($2.65), impairment charges ($0.27), a loss on sale of business ($0.52), and settlement of certain litigation expenses ($0.13). These are partly offset by the impact of the exit of the employer group commercial products business ($(0.52)) and a cumulative net tax impact of $(2.54). Management states that Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure intended to supplement, not replace, GAAP EPS, and that it is used for internal planning and incentive compensation decisions. The filing states that the Company does not expect changes to its FY 2025 Adjusted EPS guidance, but does expect potential changes to its FY 2025 GAAP EPS guidance due to ongoing value creation and other strategic initiatives, as well as future value changes to items not yet recognized or not reasonably estimable.
Humana 8-K Report, Financial Results (Nov 5, 2025)
Humana Inc. reported third-quarter 2025 results on November 5, 2025, with GAAP diluted EPS of $1.62 and Adjusted EPS of $3.24, compared with $3.98 GAAP and $4.16 Adjusted in 3Q24. Year-to-date GAAP EPS was $16.43 and Adjusted EPS was $21.10. Consolidated revenues were $32,649 million for the quarter versus $29,397 million a year earlier, and GAAP pretax results were $134 million versus $651 million. The Insurance segment benefit ratio was 91.1% for the quarter, in line with the company's prior expectation of 'just above 91 percent.' The filing's non-GAAP adjustments include $267 million of value creation initiative charges and a $63 million loss on sale of business in 3Q25. Humana lowered its FY 2025 GAAP EPS guidance to approximately $12.26 from approximately $13.77, while affirming Adjusted EPS guidance of approximately $17.00. It affirmed the FY 2025 Insurance segment benefit ratio range of 90.1% to 90.5%. Management said the Adjusted EPS outlook now includes approximately $150 million of incremental investments. The company now expects an individual Medicare Advantage membership decline of approximately 425,000, improved from a decline of up to 500,000, citing stronger retention and better-than-expected sales. It expects a fourth-quarter Insurance segment benefit ratio of approximately 93.5%. Balance sheet and cash metrics were mixed. Days in claims payable fell to 33.2 days from 40.7 days a year earlier, and the company attributed much of the decline to timing items and a shift toward pharmacy claims rather than reserve levels. Debt-to-total capitalization was 40.3%, and year-to-date operating cash flows were $2,573 million versus $3,494 million. The filing also notes that a federal court rejected Humana's challenge to its 2025 Star Ratings on October 14, 2025, and that the company is considering its options, which could affect its 2026 quality bonus payments.
Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Oct 2, 2025)
Humana Inc. filed a Regulation FD disclosure on October 2, 2025, after preliminary 2026 Medicare Advantage (MA) Star Ratings data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) was inadvertently accessible on CMS Plan Finder on October 1, 2025. Approximately 1.2 million members, or 20% of the company's membership, are currently enrolled in plans rated 4 stars and above for 2026, with an average Star rating of 3.61, consistent with its 2025 average. The company states that 14% of members are in 4.5-star plans in 2026, up from 3% in 2025. Humana says the preliminary ratings are generally in line with the assumptions in its multiyear financial planning, so it is not changing the 2025 to 2028 incremental earnings potential shared at its June 16, 2025 Investor Conference. The company says it is not satisfied with its 2026 Star Ratings but expects a return to Top Quartile results for the 2027 Star Ratings. Humana also affirmed its FY 2025 guidance of approximately $13.77 in diluted GAAP EPS and approximately $17.00 in Adjusted EPS, which is consistent with its July 30, 2025 press release and its August 29, 2025 Form 8-K. The company states it does not expect changes to FY 2025 Adjusted EPS guidance, but it does expect changes to its FY 2025 GAAP EPS guidance, to be reported in its third-quarter 2025 earnings release, due to ongoing value creation and other strategic initiatives. The company remains confident in its 2026 Individual MA pricing and benefit design, including the expectation of doubling individual MA pre-tax margin in 2026 (excluding Stars), and believes it is positioned to return to membership growth in 2026.

The company noted this position was indicated on its second quarter 2025 earnings call on July 30, 2025. The filing includes a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Adjusted EPS for FY 2025. Adjustments include amortization of identifiable intangibles of $0.49, put/call valuation adjustments tied to non-consolidating minority interest investments of $3.01, value creation initiatives of $0.44, impairment charges of $0.26, and a cumulative net tax impact of $(0.97) per share. The company states that its FY 2025 GAAP and Adjusted EPS guidance exclude the impact of future value changes to items that are not yet probable or cannot be reasonably estimated.

The filing also reports that CenterWell Primary Care now anticipates 2025 net patient growth of 50,000 to 70,000, up from 30,000 to 50,000.

Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Mar 3, 2025)
Humana Inc. (HUM) disclosed in a Regulation FD filing dated March 3, 2025 that members of its senior management team are scheduled to meet with investors and analysts between March 3, 2025 and March 31, 2025. During these meetings, the Company intends to reaffirm its full-year 2025 guidance of approximately $15.88 in diluted earnings per common share (GAAP EPS) and approximately $16.25 in adjusted earnings per common share (Adjusted EPS). The reaffirmed guidance is consistent with the guidance issued in Humana's press release dated February 11, 2025. The filing presents no new or revised outlook, so investors should view this as a reiteration of previously issued expectations rather than a change in the Company's view of its 2025 performance. The filing includes a reconciliation from GAAP EPS to Adjusted EPS for FY 2025. The reconciliation adds back approximately $0.49 of amortization of identifiable intangibles and deducts a cumulative net tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments of $(0.12). Management states that it uses Adjusted EPS for planning, decision-making, and determining incentive compensation, and that Adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, GAAP EPS.
Humana 8-K Report, Financial Results (Feb 11, 2025)
Humana Inc. reported fourth-quarter 2024 results on February 11, 2025, posting a GAAP net loss per share of $5.76 (Adjusted net loss per share of $2.16) and full-year 2024 GAAP EPS of $9.98 (Adjusted EPS of $16.21). Consolidated revenues for FY 2024 were $117.76 billion on a GAAP basis, and the Insurance segment's Adjusted benefit ratio for 4Q24 was 91.9 percent, which includes a 20-basis-point increase tied to incremental Star Ratings investments. Pretax results were a GAAP loss of $862 million in 4Q24, with impairment charges of $200 million and value creation initiative charges of $130 million among the adjustments. For 2025, Humana guided to GAAP EPS of approximately $15.88 and Adjusted EPS of approximately $16.25, reaffirming its prior commentary that 2025 would be at least in line with 2024 results. The company expects individual Medicare Advantage membership to decline by approximately 550,000 (about 10 percent) from 2024, including exits from unprofitable plans and counties, and projects consolidated revenues of $126 billion to $128 billion. Management stated that 2025 is a critical step in its margin expansion journey, and that its outlook does not include share repurchases. The company also noted the Star Ratings decline for 2025 and a pending lawsuit seeking to vacate those ratings, which it says poses risk to 2026 quality bonus payments. The filing also indicates that management expects first-quarter 2025 earnings to be approximately 60% to 65% of full-year Adjusted earnings, and that the Insurance segment benefit ratio for 2025 is projected at 90.1% to 90.5%. Medicaid expansion to 13 awarded states and CenterWell Primary Care growth plans (20 to 30 new centers) are cited as longer-term earnings drivers.

Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) announced on December 3, 2024 that Chief Financial Officer Susan M. Diamond will transition from her role on January 10, 2025, to pursue personal and professional goals, and will serve in an advisory capacity through December 31, 2025. Under her agreement, she will continue to receive her current base salary, annual incentive opportunity and benefits through December 31, 2025, then move to the company's variable staffing pool as a temporary worker until March 1, 2027, paid only hourly for work performed. At the end of the transition period she is eligible for benefits under Section 3 of the Executive Severance Policy, subject to a general release and non-compete and non-solicit compliance. The company stated her departure is not related to any disagreement with the company. Celeste Mellet, currently CFO of Global Infrastructure Partners, was appointed to succeed Diamond as Chief Financial Officer effective January 11, 2025. Her offer letter provides a base salary of $975,000, a 125% short-term incentive target level, an initial restricted stock unit award of approximately $6,000,000, a 2025 annual equity grant of $4,000,000, and a cash sign-on payment totaling $7,300,000 in three installments, subject to repayment if she leaves voluntarily before certain service requirements are met. The payments are intended to replace compensation she forfeited from her prior employment. In a Regulation FD disclosure, management stated it intends to reaffirm FY 2024 guidance of at least $12.89 diluted EPS or at least $16.00 Adjusted EPS during investor meetings between December 3 and December 31, 2024, consistent with the October 30, 2024 guidance. The release also reiterates 2025 adjusted EPS commentary of "at least in line with final 2024 results" and notes a targeted Investor Day in May 2025.
Humana 8-K Report, Financial Results (Oct 30, 2024)
Humana Inc. reported third-quarter 2024 results on October 30, 2024, with GAAP earnings per diluted share of $3.98 and Adjusted EPS of $4.16, compared with $6.71 and $7.78 in 3Q23. Year-to-date GAAP EPS was $15.72 and Adjusted EPS was $18.35, versus $24.26 and $26.10 a year earlier. GAAP consolidated revenues were $29.40 billion for the quarter, up from $26.42 billion, and GAAP pretax income fell to $651 million from $1,098 million. The consolidated benefit ratio rose to 89.9% from 86.6%, and the operating cost ratio fell to 11.5% from 12.5%. Humana raised its FY 2024 GAAP EPS guidance to at least $12.89 from approximately $12.81, and its Adjusted EPS guidance to at least $16.00, which was unchanged in substance from approximately $16.00 previously. The company now expects individual Medicare Advantage membership growth of approximately 265,000, up from approximately 225,000, while state-based contract growth was lowered to approximately 200,000 from approximately 250,000. The Insurance segment benefit ratio guidance of approximately 90% was affirmed. Management said it expects 2025 Adjusted EPS to be at least in line with final 2024 results, inclusive of planned investments, and expects individual MA membership to decline by a few hundred thousand in 2025. The filing also highlights risks tied to the 2025 Medicare Advantage Star Ratings, which are expected to significantly reduce the number of 4-star plans. Humana filed a lawsuit on October 18, 2024 seeking to set aside and vacate those ratings. Medicaid medical costs ran higher than anticipated in the quarter, and operating cash flows for the nine months fell to $3.49 billion from $11.12 billion, largely due to the timing of a CMS premium payment received early in 2023.
Humana 8-K Report, Executive Changes (Oct 23, 2024)
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) filed this Current Report on Form 8-K on October 23, 2024, under Item 5.02 to disclose the election of Gordon Smith to its Board of Directors, effective that same day. The Board expanded its authorized number of directors from eleven to twelve to make room for him. The Board has determined that Mr. Smith is independent under New York Stock Exchange director independence standards and that there are no material transactions between him and the Company. He has not yet been appointed to any Board committees. Mr. Smith will receive compensation under the Company's standard Board compensation policies, the components of which were disclosed in an August 21, 2023 Form 8-K. He will also be granted restricted stock units (RSUs) in accordance with the director compensation program. The filing furnishes a press release announcing his election as Exhibit 99.1. That release describes Smith as an Operating Advisor of Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC (CD&R) Funds and a former Co-President and Co-Chief Operating Officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co., who retired in January 2022 after a career there beginning in 2007. It also notes his more than 25 years at American Express. Chairman Kurt J. Hilzinger said Smith's operational and digital transformation expertise will support the Company's growth in Medicare Advantage and CenterWell health care services. For investors, this is a governance event rather than a financial disclosure. The filing contains no financial results, guidance, or financial statements. The main points are the board expansion, Smith's independence determination, and the addition of an experienced operating executive to the Board.
Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Oct 2, 2024)
Humana Inc. filed this Form 8-K under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) to disclose preliminary 2025 Medicare Advantage (MA) Star Ratings data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which became available in CMS Plan Finder as of October 1, 2024. Based on that preliminary data, approximately 1.6 million members, or 25% of Humana's membership, are currently enrolled in plans rated 4 stars and above for 2025, down from 94% in 2024. The decline was driven primarily by contract H5216, which fell to a 3.5-star rating from 4.5 stars in 2024. H5216 contains approximately 45% of Humana's MA membership, including more than 90% of its employer group waiver plan (Group MA) membership. The Company expects the decline to affect its quality bonus payments in 2026, with formal CMS release of the 2025 Star ratings expected on or around October 10. Humana states the reduction resulted from narrowly missing higher industry cut points on a small number of measures, and it believes there may be potential errors in CMS's calculations of certain results and industry threshold cut points. The Company has outstanding appeals and has requested additional information. It also says it is disappointed with the performance and has initiatives underway focused on operating discipline, member and provider engagement, customer experience, and technology integrations, which it expects to improve quality bonus payments in 2027 and beyond. Humana is exploring options to mitigate the expected 2026 revenue headwind if its challenges are unsuccessful. The Company states the 2025 Star results are not expected to affect its 2024 or 2025 financial results or outlook, but it notes there is now more risk in achieving its individual MA margin target of 'at least 3 percent' by 2027.
Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Sep 3, 2024)
Humana Inc. filed a Regulation FD disclosure on September 3, 2024 stating that members of its senior management team are scheduled to meet with investors and analysts at industry conferences and other meetings between September 3 and September 30, 2024. During these meetings, the company intends to reaffirm its fiscal 2024 guidance of approximately $12.81 in diluted earnings per common share (EPS) and approximately $16.00 in adjusted EPS. The company states this guidance is consistent with the guidance issued in its July 31, 2024 press release. The filing includes a reconciliation of GAAP diluted EPS to adjusted EPS for fiscal 2024. The adjustments are amortization of identifiable intangibles ($0.50), put/call valuation adjustments associated with non-consolidating minority interest investments ($1.65), the impact of the exit of the employer group commercial medical products business ($1.21), value creation initiatives ($0.80), and a cumulative net tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments of $(0.97). Management says it uses adjusted EPS for planning, decision-making, and determining incentive compensation, and that it should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, GAAP EPS. For investors, the filing is primarily a reaffirmation of previously issued guidance rather than new financial information. Dates and times for the investor presentations are listed on the Investor Relations calendar of events at www.humana.com.
Humana 8-K Report, Financial Results (Jul 31, 2024)
Humana Inc. reported second-quarter 2024 results on July 31, 2024, with GAAP diluted EPS of $5.62 (versus $7.66 in 2Q23) and Adjusted EPS of $6.96 (versus $8.94). Consolidated revenues were $29,540 million, up from $26,747 million a year earlier, and GAAP pretax income was $918 million, down from $1,262 million. Year-to-date GAAP diluted EPS was $11.74 and Adjusted EPS was $14.19. The Insurance segment benefit ratio rose to 89.5% in 2Q24 from 86.8% in 2Q23, reflecting continued elevated Medicare Advantage medical cost trends, partly offset by favorable prior period development. Humana revised its FY 2024 GAAP EPS guidance to approximately $12.81 from approximately $13.93, while affirming Adjusted EPS guidance of approximately $16.00 and an Insurance segment benefit ratio of approximately 90 percent. The company raised its 2024 individual Medicare Advantage membership growth expectation by 75,000 to approximately 225,000. Management's prepared remarks say the company expects margin expansion and Adjusted EPS growth in 2025 and a multiyear path to a normalized individual MA margin of at least 3 percent, and that it expects to decline a few hundred thousand individual MA members in 2025, primarily due to plan and county exits. The filing also reports operating cash flow of $1,636 million year-to-date, versus $9,863 million a year earlier, a decline the company attributes largely to timing of CMS premium receipts. Debt-to-total capitalization was 43.6% at June 30, 2024, and the company repurchased 1,948,690 shares year-to-date with $2.93 billion remaining under its repurchase authorization.
Humana 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Jun 5, 2024)
On May 31, 2024, Humana Inc. entered into a new 364-day unsecured revolving credit agreement with a total commitment of $2,107,812,500 (about $2.11 billion). It replaces a 364-day, $1.5 billion facility dated June 2, 2023 that expired under its terms. The company also entered into a first amendment to its existing five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement, which increases the commitments under that facility from $2.5 billion to $2,642,187,500 (about $2.64 billion). Borrowings under both facilities may be used for general corporate purposes, and the agreements permit up to $500 million of incremental commitments that Humana may allocate between the two facilities. The revolving facilities bear interest at Term SOFR or the base rate plus a spread, and Humana will pay an annual facility fee under each agreement regardless of utilization. The agreements contain customary covenants, including a maximum debt-to-capitalization financial condition covenant, along with customary events of default, conditions of borrowing, and representations and warranties. Humana has other financial advisory and banking relationships with some of the parties to the agreements. As of May 31, 2024, Humana had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit agreements and approximately $18.1 million of issued but undrawn letters of credit under the five-year facility. This leaves approximately $2.624 billion of remaining borrowing capacity under the five-year agreement and approximately $2.11 billion under the 364-day agreement. The filing incorporates these agreements as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.
Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Jun 3, 2024)
Humana Inc. filed this Form 8-K under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) to say that members of its senior management team are scheduled to meet with investors and analysts between June 3, 2024 and June 28, 2024. During these meetings, the Company intends to reaffirm its guidance for the year ending December 31, 2024 (FY 2024): approximately $13.93 in diluted earnings per common share (EPS), or approximately $16.00 in adjusted earnings per common share (Adjusted EPS). The filing states this guidance is consistent with the guidance issued in Humana's press release dated April 24, 2024. The filing includes a reconciliation of GAAP diluted EPS to Adjusted EPS for FY 2024. Adjustments from the GAAP figure of approximately $13.93 are: amortization of identifiable intangibles of $0.49; put/call valuation adjustments associated with the Company's non-consolidating minority interest investments of $1.08; impact of exit of employer group commercial medical products business of $0.90; value creation initiatives of $0.24; and a cumulative net tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments of $(0.64). Management states that Adjusted EPS is used as a consistent indicator of core business operations and for planning, decision-making and incentive compensation, and that it should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, GAAP EPS. For investors, the key message is a reaffirmation rather than a change: the filing signals that management plans to restate existing FY 2024 guidance in investor meetings in June 2024, with no new guidance figures disclosed.
Humana 8-K Report, Executive Changes (May 13, 2024)
Humana Inc. disclosed in this Form 8-K that James A. Rechtin will become President and Chief Executive Officer effective July 1, 2024, succeeding Bruce D. Broussard. The company had previously announced on October 11, 2023 that Broussard would step down in the latter half of 2024, and it now states the transition date is expected to be July 1, 2024. Rechtin joined Humana as President and Chief Operating Officer in January 2024 as part of a long-planned CEO transition. Under a Transition & Separation Agreement dated May 13, 2024 (Exhibit 10.1), Broussard will provide strategic advisory services after the Transition Date until March 1, 2025, then move to the company's variable staffing pool (temporary worker status) until March 1, 2026. During that period he will serve on the Board of The Humana Foundation, advise the Foundation, including on its partnership with the Trust for the National Mall, and give general strategic advice to the company. He will receive no salary and no additional compensation or benefits beyond continued vesting of equity under the stock incentive plan and generally available programs, and he is not entitled to severance under the Executive Severance Policy. Broussard is also expected to resign from the Board and Rechtin is expected to join it, both effective July 1, 2024. The filing states Broussard's resignation is not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the company or its Board. The accompanying press release (Exhibit 99.1) quotes Board Chairman Kurt Hilzinger expressing confidence that Rechtin is ready to assume the role, and quotes Rechtin describing the company's growth prospects and his commitment to operational improvement and long-term shareholder value. The release describes Rechtin's background, including prior roles at Envision Healthcare, OptumCare, and DaVita Medical Group, and more than 22 years of healthcare experience with a focus on value-based care and Medicare Advantage.
Humana 8-K Report, Financial Results (Apr 24, 2024)
Humana Inc. furnished this Form 8-K under Items 2.02 and 7.01 to report first-quarter 2024 results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. GAAP earnings per share were $6.11 versus $9.87 in 1Q23, and Adjusted EPS was $7.23 versus $9.38. Consolidated revenues rose to $29,611 million from $26,742 million, and GAAP pretax income fell to $1,014 million from $1,614 million. The GAAP consolidated benefit ratio was 88.9% versus 85.5%, and the Insurance segment benefit ratio was 89.3% versus 86.1%. Management attributed the year-over-year benefit ratio increase primarily to higher Medicare Advantage medical cost trends. Operating cash flow was $423 million, compared with $6,687 million in the prior-year quarter, which included an early receipt of a $6.65 billion CMS premium payment. Humana revised its FY 2024 GAAP EPS guidance to approximately $13.93 from approximately $14.87, while affirming Adjusted EPS guidance of approximately $16.00 and an Insurance segment benefit ratio of approximately 90%. The company raised its expected 2024 individual Medicare Advantage membership growth to approximately 150,000 from approximately 100,000. Management said Q1 benefit ratio reflected a more conservative quarter-end reserving approach given the Change Healthcare disruption. Days in claims payable rose to 42.5 days. Management's prepared remarks, filed as Exhibit 99.3, state that the company no longer believes the previously communicated $6 to $10 of Adjusted EPS growth is the appropriate target range for 2025. They cite the final 2025 MA rate notice, which management says is not sufficient to address current medical cost trends. Formal 2025 guidance is expected with the fourth-quarter 2024 earnings call, and bid pricing decisions were to be submitted by the first Monday in June.
Humana 8-K Report, Shareholder Vote Results (Apr 19, 2024)

Humana 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Mar 13, 2024)
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) entered into an underwriting agreement on March 11, 2024 with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, PNC Capital Markets LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the underwriters, to issue and sell $1,250 million of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2031 (sold at 99.940% of principal) and $1,000 million of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2054 (sold at 99.949% of principal). The offering was completed on March 13, 2024, and the filing states that net proceeds are expected to be approximately $2.226 billion after underwriters' discounts and estimated offering expenses. The Senior Notes are unsecured senior obligations of Humana, ranking equally with its other unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness. Interest is payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15, beginning October 15, 2024, and the notes mature on April 15, 2031 and April 15, 2054, respectively. The notes were issued under a 2003 indenture with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as trustee, supplemented by the Twenty-Eighth and Twenty-Ninth Supplemental Indentures dated March 13, 2024. The company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repaying existing indebtedness, including borrowings under its commercial paper program. The filing also notes that the underwriters and their affiliates have provided commercial banking, investment banking and advisory services to Humana, and that certain affiliates are lenders under its revolving credit facility and 364-day credit facility. The accompanying press releases dated March 11 and March 13, 2024 announced the pricing and closing of the offering.
Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Mar 5, 2024)
Humana Inc. filed this Form 8-K on March 5, 2024 under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) to say that members of its senior management team will meet with investors and analysts at an industry conference and other meetings between March 5, 2024 and March 31, 2024. During these meetings, the Company intends to reaffirm its guidance for the year ending December 31, 2024 (FY 2024) of approximately $14.87 in diluted earnings per common share and approximately $16.00 in adjusted earnings per common share. The filing states this guidance is consistent with the guidance issued in Humana's press release dated January 25, 2024. The filing includes a reconciliation of GAAP to adjusted EPS for FY 2024. The adjustments are amortization of identifiable intangibles of $0.49 per share, the impact of the exit of the employer group commercial medical products business of $0.97 per share, and a cumulative net tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments of $(0.33) per share. Management states that adjusted EPS is used to evaluate core operating performance, for planning and decision-making, and in determining incentive compensation, and that it should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, GAAP EPS. For investors, the key takeaway is that the filing reaffirms rather than changes Humana's FY 2024 earnings outlook, and it discloses the non-GAAP items that bridge the two EPS measures.
Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Feb 5, 2024)
On January 31, 2024, after market close, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued its preliminary 2025 Medicare Advantage and Part D payment rates and proposed policy changes (the Advance Notice), with final rates scheduled for publication on April 1, 2024. CMS estimates Medicare Advantage plans across the sector will, on average, experience a 0.16 percent decrease in benchmark funding based on the proposals, an estimate that excludes the impact of fee-for-service county rebasing/re-pricing. Humana Inc. estimates that, based on its preliminary analysis using the same factors as CMS, the proposals would result in a change to its benchmark funding approximately 160 basis points worse than its expectation of a flat rate environment. The company attributes the difference primarily to proposed effective growth rate restatements, which it did not anticipate given higher medical cost trends across the industry, and to the negative impact of CMS's proposed normalization factors. Humana plans to provide CMS actuarial data on these concerns and formal commentary on the Advance Notice's effects on beneficiaries' quality of care, affordability, and service. Humana stated there is no change to its 2025 outlook of $6 to $10 in Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) growth, noting that the Advance Notice is preliminary and that the company and others in the industry are expected to provide feedback to CMS.
Humana 8-K Report, Financial Results (Jan 25, 2024)
Humana Inc. reported fourth-quarter 2023 results on January 25, 2024. The company posted a GAAP loss per share of $4.42 for 4Q23 and an Adjusted loss per share of $0.11, versus GAAP EPS of ($0.12) and Adjusted EPS of $1.97 in 4Q22. For full-year 2023, GAAP diluted EPS was $20.00 and Adjusted EPS was $26.09, compared with $22.08 and $25.88 in 2022. Management attributed the weakness to higher Medicare Advantage medical cost trends, driven by higher-than-anticipated inpatient utilization in November and December and a further increase in non-inpatient trends. The Insurance segment's fourth-quarter Adjusted benefits expense ratio was 91.4%, compared with 87.4% a year earlier. Initial 2024 guidance calls for GAAP diluted EPS of approximately $14.87 and Adjusted EPS of approximately $16.00, with the company assuming the higher Medicare Advantage costs persist throughout 2024. Management said it no longer believes the previously communicated $37 Adjusted EPS target for 2025 is achievable, and instead expects $6 to $10 of Adjusted EPS growth in 2025 through MA pricing actions, growth in other lines, and productivity initiatives. Management also said it will prioritize margin recovery over membership growth near term, with individual Medicare Advantage membership growth guided at approximately 100,000 for 2024 and stand-alone PDP membership expected to decline by approximately 650,000. On the balance sheet, days in claims payable fell to 41.4 days from 45.9 days a year earlier, and debt-to-total capitalization rose to 41.8% from 42.0% at year-end 2022 on a sequential basis from 41.1% at September 30, 2023. Management has earmarked $1 billion for share repurchases in 2024, with approximately $400 million completed to date as of the call, and the company has announced that Jim Rechtin joined as President and COO, with a planned CEO transition in the latter half of 2024.
Humana 8-K Report, Financial Results (Jan 18, 2024)
Humana Inc. reported that its individual Medicare Advantage (MA) membership growth outlook for 2024 is now approximately 100,000 members, or 1.8 percent growth over about 5.4 million members at December 31, 2023. Previously, the company had expected growth at or slightly above the industry average. Actual annual election period (AEP) growth was approximately 120,000 members, but that is expected to decline slightly by year end because of limited post-AEP sales opportunities and higher expected attrition in Dual Special Needs Plans as members lose dual eligibility during Medicaid redeterminations. Management attributed the lower share of industry growth to its balanced pricing approach, with a higher proportion of sales coming from existing members changing plans and fewer new member sales than expected. Humana also revised its full-year 2023 earnings expectations. Higher Medicare Advantage medical cost trends, mainly inpatient utilization in November and December and rising physician, outpatient surgery and supplemental benefit costs, pushed the fourth-quarter 2023 Adjusted Insurance segment benefit ratio to approximately 91.4 percent, versus a prior expectation of 89.5 percent. The full-year 2023 Adjusted Insurance segment benefit ratio is now approximately 88.0 percent, versus 87.5 percent previously. The company now expects GAAP EPS of approximately $20.00 and Adjusted EPS of approximately $26.09 for 2023, and it could not fully offset the higher costs through cost containment initiatives. Humana said the emerging utilization trends are being assessed for their impact on 2024 and are expected to be material if they continue, with an update to come on the fourth-quarter earnings call. The company believes the trends affect the industry broadly and expects them to be reflected in the 2025 Medicare Advantage pricing cycle. The fourth-quarter 2023 earnings call has been rescheduled to January 25, 2024, at 9 a.m. Eastern time.
Humana 8-K Report, Bylaw Amendment (Dec 7, 2023)
Humana Inc. filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 7, 2023, disclosing a governance change. On that date, the Board of Directors amended and restated the Company's Amended and Restated By-laws, effective December 7, 2023. The Restated By-laws remove the requirement that the Board maintain an Executive Committee, and the Board simultaneously disbanded that committee. The filing is administrative in nature and does not report financial results, financial statement figures, or guidance. Its only substantive change is to the Company's corporate governance structure, specifically the elimination of a standing Board committee. The full text of the Restated By-laws is attached as Exhibit 3(b) and incorporated by reference. For investors, the filing signals a streamlining of board governance rather than a change to operations, capital structure, or financial condition. The filing itself does not state the reasons for the change.
Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Dec 1, 2023)
Humana Inc. filed this Current Report under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) on December 1, 2023 to state that members of its senior management team are scheduled to meet with investors and analysts at various meetings between December 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023. At these meetings, the Company intends to reaffirm its FY 2023 guidance of at least $26.31 in diluted earnings per common share (GAAP EPS) or at least $28.25 in adjusted earnings per common share (Adjusted EPS). The filing states this guidance is consistent with the guidance issued in Humana's press release dated November 1, 2023. The filing includes a reconciliation from GAAP EPS to Adjusted EPS for FY 2023. The main adjustments listed are amortization of identifiable intangibles ($0.53), put/call valuation adjustments associated with non-consolidating minority interest investments ($1.13), an accrued charge related to certain anticipated litigation expenses ($0.84), value creation initiatives ($0.42), and the impact of the exit of the employer group commercial medical products business ($0.13). Offsetting items include transaction and integration costs of $(0.38), change in fair market value of publicly-traded equity securities of $(0.01), and a cumulative net tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments of $(0.72). Management states that Adjusted EPS is used as a consistent indicator of core business operations, for planning and decision-making, and in determining incentive compensation, and that it should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, GAAP EPS. For investors, the filing mainly confirms that the company is maintaining its previously issued guidance during the December investor meeting period rather than revising it.
Humana 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Nov 9, 2023)
On November 9, 2023, Humana Inc. completed a public offering of $1.35 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior notes, consisting of $500 million of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2028 and $850 million of 5.950% Senior Notes due 2034. The 2028 notes were sold at 99.830% of principal and the 2034 notes at 98.525% of principal. The notes are unsecured senior obligations ranking equally with the company's other unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness, and were issued under an indenture dated August 5, 2003 with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as trustee, supplemented for each series.

Humana 8-K Report, Financial Results (Nov 1, 2023)
Humana Inc. reported third-quarter 2023 results on November 1, 2023. GAAP earnings per diluted share were $6.71 for 3Q23 versus $9.39 in 3Q22, and Adjusted EPS was $7.78 versus $7.31. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, GAAP EPS was $24.26 and Adjusted EPS was $26.10. Consolidated revenues were $26.42 billion for the quarter, up from $22.80 billion, and $79.91 billion year to date, up from $70.43 billion. Management attributed the results to outperformance in the Medicaid and Primary Care businesses and operating efficiencies, partly offset by modestly higher than anticipated utilization in the Medicare Advantage business. Humana revised its FY 2023 GAAP EPS guidance to at least $26.31 from at least $26.91 and affirmed Adjusted EPS guidance of at least $28.25. Individual Medicare Advantage membership growth for 2023 was raised by 35,000 to approximately 860,000, which the company describes as 19 percent growth over year-end 2022 membership. Individual Medicare Advantage membership was 5,374.4 thousand at September 30, 2023, up from 4,564.2 thousand a year earlier. The company also expects 2024 individual Medicare Advantage membership growth at or above industry levels. Key operating pressures included a consolidated benefits expense ratio of 86.6 percent for 3Q23, up from 85.6 percent, and a GAAP operating cost ratio of 12.5 percent, down from 13.5 percent. Management also cited an accrued charge of $105 million year to date for certain anticipated litigation expenses. Operating cash flow was $11.12 billion year to date, which the company says is inflated by the early receipt of the October Medicare premium payment. Parent company cash and short-term investments were $518 million, and the board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.885 per share.

His initial equity award consists of restricted stock units valued at about $3,000,000 and stock options with a grant date fair value of about $3,000,000. His 2024 Annual Grant totals $6,000,000 and follows the same grant date, vesting schedule, and award mix approved for all executive officers.

Humana 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Sep 6, 2023)
On September 6, 2023, Humana Inc. filed a Current Report under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) stating that members of its senior management team are scheduled to meet with investors and analysts at industry conferences and other meetings between September 6, 2023 and September 30, 2023. During these meetings, the Company intends to reaffirm its guidance for the year ending December 31, 2023 (FY 2023) of at least $26.91 in diluted earnings per common share (GAAP EPS) or at least $28.25 in adjusted earnings per common share (Adjusted EPS). The filing states this guidance is consistent with the guidance issued in Humana's press release dated August 2, 2023. The filing includes a non-GAAP reconciliation from GAAP EPS to Adjusted EPS for FY 2023. Management says Adjusted EPS is used as a consistent indicator of core business operations and for planning and decision-making, and that it should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, GAAP EPS. The reconciling items are amortization of identifiable intangibles ($0.53), put/call valuation adjustments associated with non-consolidating minority interest investments ($0.85), transaction and integration costs ($(0.38)), change in fair market value of publicly-traded equity securities ($(0.01)), impact of exit of the employer group commercial medical products business ($0.17), accrual related to certain anticipated litigation expenses ($0.72), and tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments ($(0.54)). For investors, the filing is primarily a reaffirmation of previously issued guidance rather than a change in outlook. Its substance lies in the reconciliation, which identifies the specific per-share items that separate GAAP EPS from Adjusted EPS for 2023.
