-- Second quarter 2020 adjusted revenues(1) increased 22% relative to

in specialty pharmacy services, partially offset by reduced retail
script volumes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
-- Second quarter adjusted income from operations, pre-tax(2) increased 7%
relative to second quarter 2019, reflecting customer growth, higher
adjusted pharmacy scripts volumes, benefits from the effective
management of the supply chain, and continued strong performance in
specialty pharmacy services, partially offset by an increase in
operating expenses to support growth.
-- Health Services fulfilled 364 million adjusted pharmacy scripts(8) in
second quarter 2020, an increase of 24% over second quarter 2019 driven
by the insourcing of Integrated Medical pharmacy volumes and strong
organic growth, partially offset by reduced retail script volumes.

-- Second quarter 2020 adjusted revenues(1) grew 3% over second quarter
2019, reflecting customer growth in Medicare Advantage and in the Select
segment, as well as premium increases, partially offset by premium
relief programs for clients that were delivered in response to the

primarily due to premium relief programs for clients, lower net
investment income, and a modest decline in medical customers.
-- Second quarter 2020 adjusted income from operations, pre-tax² and

cost share waivers for customers.

relief programs for clients and cost share waivers for customers.

Notes:
1. At the consolidated level, the measure "adjusted
revenues" 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, "total
revenues." Cigna defines adjusted revenues as total
revenues excluding net realized investment results
from equity method investments and special items.
Special items are identified in Exhibit 1 of this
earnings release. For periods prior to 2020, Cigna
also excludes revenue contributions from transitioning
pharmacy benefit management clients, Anthem Inc. and
Coventry Health Care, Inc. (the "transitioning
clients"). Cigna excludes these items from this
measure because they are not indicative of past or
future underlying performance of the business. See
Exhibit 1 for a reconciliation of consolidated
adjusted revenues to total revenues.
2. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is defined as
shareholders' net income (loss) excluding the
following adjustments: net realized investment
results, amortization of acquired intangible assets,
and special items. For periods prior to 2020, Cigna
also excludes earnings contributions from
transitioning clients. Adjusted income (loss) from
operations is measured on an after-tax basis for
consolidated results and on a pre-tax basis for
segment results.
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 GAAP and should not be viewed as a
substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP
measure, shareholders' net income. See Exhibit 1 for a
reconciliation of consolidated adjusted income from
operations to shareholders' net income.
3. Certain adjusted metrics presented for 2019 exclude
contributions from transitioning clients. As
previously disclosed, beginning in 2020, Cigna no
longer excludes contributions from transitioning
clients from its adjusted metrics, as the transition
for those clients was substantially complete as of
December 31, 2019.
Management is not able to provide a reconciliation of
adjusted income from operations to shareholders' net
income (loss) or adjusted revenues to total revenues
on a forward-looking basis because it is unable to
predict, without unreasonable effort, certain
components thereof including (i) future net realized
investment results (from equity method investments
with respect to adjusted revenues) and (ii) future
special items. These items are inherently uncertain
and depend on various factors, many of which are
beyond Cigna's control. As such, any associated
estimate and its impact on shareholders' net income
and total revenues could vary materially.
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.
Additionally, the Company's outlook assumes a full
year of contributions from Cigna's Group Disability
and Life business.
4. Operating ratios are defined as follows:
Medical care ratio represents medical costs as a
percentage of premiums for all U.S. commercial risk
products, including medical, pharmacy, dental, stop
loss and behavioral products provided through
guaranteed cost or experience-rated funding
arrangements, as well as Medicare Advantage, Medicare
Part D, Medicare Supplement, Medicaid, and individual
on and off-exchange products, within Cigna's
Integrated Medical segment.
SG&A expense ratio
represents enterprise selling, general and
administrative expenses excluding special items and,
prior to 2020, expenses from transitioning clients, as
a percentage of adjusted revenue at a consolidated
level.
5. Customer relationships are defined as follows:
Total medical customers includes individuals in Cigna's
Integrated Medical and International Markets segments
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.
U.S. Individual includes on-exchange Patient
Protection and Affordable Care and Education
Reconciliation Act ("ACA") business, off-exchange ACA
business and off-exchange non-ACA business.
Pharmacy
customer relationships for periods prior to 2020
excludes transitioning clients.
International Markets
supplemental policies exclude International Markets
medical customers included in total medical
customers.
Group Disability and Life covered lives are
estimated.
6. Cigna owns a 50% non-controlling interest in its China
joint venture. Cigna's 50% share of the joint
venture's earnings is reported in Fees and Other
Revenues using the equity method of accounting under
GAAP. As such, the adjusted revenues and policy
counts for the International Markets segment do not
include the China joint venture.
7. Adjusted margin, pre-tax, is calculated by dividing
adjusted income (loss) from operations, pre-tax by
adjusted revenues for each segment.
Adjusted margin, after-tax, is calculated by dividing
consolidated adjusted income (loss) from operations by
consolidated adjusted revenues. Adjusted income
(loss) from operations is measured on an after-tax
basis for consolidated results.
8. For Health Services adjusted pharmacy scripts, non-
specialty network scripts filled through 90-day
programs and home delivery scripts are multiplied by
three. All other network and specialty scripts are
counted as one script.
9. Medical costs payable within the Integrated Medical
segment are presented net of reinsurance and other
recoverables. The gross medical costs payable balance
was $2.96 billion as of June 30, 2020, $2.89 billion
as of December 31, 2019, and $2.88 billion as of June
30, 2019.
10. Enhanced coverage for COVID-19 related services
applies to customers in the United States who are
covered under Cigna's employer/union sponsored
insured group health plans, insured plans for globally
mobile individuals, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and
the Individual and Family insurance plans. Self-
insured group health plans administered by Cigna have
an opportunity to opt out of these benefits.
Treatments covered include those covered under
Medicare and other applicable state regulations.
11. The Cigna Foundation is a private foundation funded by
contributions from Cigna Corporation and its
subsidiaries.
