CONSOLIDATED HIGHLIGHTS

Earnings Per Share: GAAP net income was $7.79 per share in the second quarter, including net negative adjustment items of $1.25 per share. Adjusted net income was $9.04* per share.

Membership: Medical membership totaled approximately 48.0 million as of June 30, 2023, an increase of 938 thousand, or 2.0 percent year-over-year, driven primarily by growth in Medicaid, BlueCard, ACA health plan, and Medicare Advantage members, partially offset by attrition in our Employer Group risk-based business.

During the second quarter of 2023, medical membership decreased by 135 thousand driven by attrition in Medicaid due to the resumption of eligibility redeterminations.

Operating Revenue: Operating revenue was $43.4 billion in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $4.9 billion, or 12.7 percent year-over-year. The increase was primarily driven by premium rate increases in our Health Benefits business and higher premium revenue due to membership growth in Medicaid and Medicare. The increase in operating revenue was further attributable to growth in pharmacy product revenue within CarelonRx driven by growth in external pharmacy members served and the acquisition of BioPlus in the first quarter of 2023.

Benefit Expense Ratio: The benefit expense ratio was 86.4 percent in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of 70 basis points year-over-year. The decrease was driven by premium rate adjustments to more accurately reflect cost of care.

Medical claims reserves established at December 31, 2022 developed in line with the Company’s expectations as of the second quarter of 2023.

Days in Claims Payable: Days in Claims Payable was 46.5 days as of June 30, 2023, an increase of 0.5 days from March 31, 2023 and a decrease of 1.3 days compared to June 30, 2022. The timing of certain provider pass-through payments and corresponding reserves set in the prior year had the effect of increasing Days in Claims Payable by 1.8 days in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusting for these impacts, Days in Claims Payable would have increased 0.5 days year-over-year.

Operating Expense Ratio: The operating expense ratio was 11.1 percent in the second quarter of 2023, unchanged from 11.1 percent in the second quarter of 2022.

Operating Cash Flow: Operating cash flow was approximately $2.0 billion, or 1.1 times net income in the second quarter of 2023.

Share Repurchase Program: During the second quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased 1.4 million shares of its common stock for $646 million, at a weighted average price of $457.34. Year-to-date, as of the end of the second quarter, the Company repurchased 2.7 million shares of its common stock for $1.3 billion, at a weighted average price of $466.62. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $5.6 billion of Board-approved share repurchase authorization remaining.

Cash Dividend: During the second quarter of 2023, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $1.48 per share, representing a distribution of cash totaling $350 million.

On July 18, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors declared a third quarter 2023 dividend to shareholders of $1.48 per share. The third quarter dividend is payable on September 22, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 8, 2023.

Investment Portfolio & Capital Position: During the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded net losses of $121 million. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company recorded net losses of $231 million. These amounts are excluded from adjusted earnings per share.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s net unrealized loss position in the investment portfolio was $1.9 billion, consisting primarily of fixed maturity securities. As of June 30, 2023, cash and investments at the parent company totaled approximately $1.0 billion.

REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

Reportable Segment Highlights

(Unaudited)

Health Benefits: Operating gain in the Health Benefits segment totaled $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $367 million from $1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2022, representing growth of approximately 21%. The increase was primarily driven by premium rate adjustments to more accurately reflect cost of care and membership growth in Medicaid, partially offset by a charge associated with a court ruling impacting health plans in a certain state related to prior years’ COVID-19 costs.

Carelon: Operating gain in the Carelon segment was $632 million in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $40 million from $592 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by improved performance in our medical management business and the expansion of our post-acute care services, partially offset by higher medical cost trends and the non-recurrence of an out of period favorable adjustment in the second quarter of 2022 in CarelonRx.

Corporate & Other: The Company reported an operating loss of $152 million in the Corporate & Other segment for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $125 million from an operating loss of $27 million in the second quarter of 2022, driven by an increase in unallocated corporate expenses.
