Note 1 – Description of Business
The Cigna Group®, together with its subsidiaries (either individually or collectively referred to as the "Company," "we," "us" or "our"), is a global health company committed to creating a better future for every individual and every community. We relentlessly challenge ourselves to partner and innovate solutions for better health. Powered by our people and our brands, we advance our mission to improve the health and vitality of those we serve.
Our subsidiaries offer a differentiated set of pharmacy, medical, behavioral, dental, and related products and services. The majority of these products and services are offered through employers and other entities, such as governmental and nongovernmental organizations, unions and associations. Cigna Healthcare® also offers health and dental insurance products to individuals in the United States and select international markets. In addition to these operations, The Cigna Group also has certain run-off operations.
A full description of our segments follows:
The Evernorth Health Services® reportable segment includes the Pharmacy Benefit Services and the Specialty and Care Services operating segments, which provide independent and coordinated health solutions and capabilities to enable the health care system to work better and help people live richer, healthier lives.
Pharmacy Benefit Services drives high-quality, cost-effective pharmacy care through various services, such as drug claim adjudication, retail pharmacy network administration, benefit design consultation, drug utilization review, drug formulary management and access to our home delivery pharmacy. Specialty and Care Services provides specialty drugs for the treatment of complex and rare diseases, specialty distribution of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, as well as clinical programs to help our clients drive better whole-person health outcomes through care services.
The Cigna Healthcare reportable segment includes the U.S. Healthcare and International Health operating segments, which provide comprehensive medical and coordinated solutions to clients and customers. U.S. Healthcare provides medical plans and other benefits and solutions for insured clients, self-insured clients and individual health insurance plans. International Health provides health care solutions in our international markets, as well as health care benefits for globally mobile individuals and employees of multinational organizations. U.S. Healthcare also included the Medicare Advantage and related businesses until the divestiture of such businesses to Health Care Services Corporation ("HCSC") on March 19, 2025 (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information).
Other Operations comprises the remainder of our business operations, which includes certain continuing (corporate-owned life insurance ("COLI")), run-off and other non-strategic businesses. Our run-off businesses include the (i) variable annuity reinsurance business that was effectively exited through reinsurance with Berkshire Hathaway Life Insurance Company of Nebraska ("Berkshire") in 2013, (ii) settlement annuity business, and (iii) individual life insurance and annuity and retirement benefits businesses, which were sold through reinsurance agreements.
Corporate reflects amounts not allocated to operating segments, including net interest expense (defined as interest on corporate financing less net investment income on investments not supporting segment and other operations), certain litigation matters, expense associated with our frozen pension plans, charitable contributions, operating severance, certain overhead and enterprise-wide project costs, and eliminations for products and services sold between segments.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Cigna Group and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. These Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Certain amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation and did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Amounts recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements necessarily reflect management's estimates and assumptions about medical costs, investment, tax and receivable valuations, interest rates, and other factors. Significant estimates are discussed throughout these Notes; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. The impact of a change in estimate is generally included in earnings in the period of adjustment.
These interim Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited but include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair statement of financial position and results of operations for the periods reported.
9
The interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2024 Form 10-K"). The Company has not included certain footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in its 2024 Form 10-K, unless the information in those disclosures materially changed or is required by GAAP. The preparation of interim Consolidated Financial Statements necessarily relies heavily on estimates. This and other factors, including the seasonal nature of portions of the health care and related benefits business, as well as competitive and other market conditions, call for caution in estimating full-year results based on interim results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Note 3 – Accounts Receivable, Net
The following amounts were included within Accounts receivable, net:

| Total | $ | $ | |||||||||
These accounts receivable are reported net of our allowances of $5.7 billion and $5.0 billion as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These allowances include contractual allowances for certain rebates receivable with pharmaceutical manufacturers and certain accounts receivable from third-party payors, discounts and claims adjustments issued to customers in the form of client credits, an allowance for current expected credit losses and other non-credit adjustments.
The Company's allowance for current expected credit losses was $296 million as of March 31, 2025 and $84 million as of December 31, 2024.
Accounts Receivable Factoring Facility
The Company maintains an uncommitted factoring facility (the "Facility") under which certain accounts receivable may be sold on a non-recourse basis to a financial institution. The Facility began in July 2023 with an initial term of two years , followed by automatic one-year renewal terms unless terminated by either party. The Facility's total capacity is $1.5 billion.
We sold manufacturer accounts receivable under the Facility of $1.4 billion and $1.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, factoring fees paid were not material. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all sold accounts receivable had been collected from pharmaceutical manufacturers. As of March 31, 2025, all collections had been remitted to the financial institution. As of December 31, 2024, there was $1.0 billion of collections from pharmaceutical manufacturers that have not been remitted to the financial institution. Such amounts are recorded within Accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Note 4 – Supplier Finance Program
The Company facilitates a voluntary supplier finance program (the "Program") that provides suppliers the opportunity to sell their accounts receivable due from us (i.e., our payment obligations to the suppliers) to a financial institution, on a non-recourse basis, in order to be paid earlier than our payment terms require.
As of each of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $1.6
10
As of March 31, 2025, we have been informed by the financial institution that $563 million of the Company's outstanding payment obligations were voluntarily elected by suppliers to be sold to the financial institution under the Program.
Note 5 – Divestiture
On March 19, 2025, the Company completed the sale of our Medicare Advantage, Medicare Individual Stand-Alone Prescription Drug Plans, Medicare and Other Supplemental Benefits, and CareAllies® businesses (the "Disposal Group" or the "HCSC transaction"). The purchase price increased from $3.3 billion to $4.8 billion, subject to post-closing contractual adjustments, reflecting higher statutory surplus for the legal entities when conveyed to HCSC.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized a gain of $37 million pre-tax ($112 million after-tax) within in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company received $4.2 billion cash proceeds at closing. We expect receipt of the remaining $0.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025 upon HCSC's collection of amounts due from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The Company determined that the Disposal Group met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and aggregated and classified the assets and liabilities as held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024. The assets and liabilities held for sale as of December 31, 2024 were as follows:

(1) Includes Goodwill of $94 million as of December 31, 2024.
Integration and Transaction-Related Costs
In 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred transaction-related costs associated with the HCSC transaction. These costs incurred consisted primarily of certain projects to separate the Company's systems, products and services; fees for legal, advisory and other professional services; and certain employment-related costs. These costs were $216 million pre-tax ($164 million after-tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $37 million pre-tax ($29 million after-tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Note 6 – Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 2.3 million outstanding employee stock options were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to the Shareholders' net loss, 8.2 million outstanding employee stock options, unvested restricted stock grants and units, and strategic performance shares were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.
11
The Company held approximately 134.1 million shares of common stock in treasury as of March 31, 2025, 128.7 million shares as of December 31, 2024 and 117.8 million shares as of March 31, 2024.
Note 7 – Debt
Short-Term and Long-Term Debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company redeemed at par its $700 million 5.685 % senior notes that were due March 2026. For more information regarding our short-term and long-term debt, see Note 7 of the Company's 2024 Form 10-K.
Revolving Credit Agreements. Our revolving credit agreements provide us with the ability to borrow amounts for general corporate purposes, including providing liquidity support if necessary under our commercial paper program discussed below. As of March 31, 2025, there were no outstanding balances under these revolving credit agreements.
In April 2025, the Company replaced its previous revolving credit agreements and entered into a $6.5 billion, five-year revolving credit and letter of credit agreement that will mature in April 2030, with an option to extend the maturity date for additional one-year periods, subject to consent of the banks (the "Credit Agreement"). The Company can borrow up to $6.5 billion under the Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes, with up to $500 million available for issuance of letters of credit.
The Credit Agreement includes an option to increase commitments up to $1.5 billion for a maximum total commitment of $8.0 billion. The Credit Agreement allows for borrowings at either a base rate, term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or daily simple SOFR plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on the Company's senior unsecured credit ratings.
The Credit Agreement also contains customary covenants and restrictions, including a financial covenant that the Company's leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, may not exceed 60 %, subject to certain exceptions upon the consummation of an acquisition.
Commercial Paper. Under our commercial paper program, we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes privately placed on a discounted basis through certain broker-dealers at any time not to exceed an aggregate amount of $6.5 no commercial paper outstanding balance as of March 31, 2025.
Debt Covenants. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of March 31, 2025.
Interest Expense. Interest expense on long-term and short-term debt was $362 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $369 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Reinsurance and other amounts recoverable reflect amounts due from reinsurers and policyholders to cover incurred but not reported and pending claims of certain business for which the Company administers the plan benefits without any right of offset. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on reinsurance.
Variances in incurred costs related to prior years' unpaid claims and claim expenses that resulted from the differences between actual experience and the Company's key assumptions were as follows:

C.Future Policy Benefits
Cigna Healthcare
Future policy benefits for the Cigna Healthcare segment were primarily related to the businesses divested to HCSC on March 19, 2025. Excluding the divestiture, changes in the future policy benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 were not material.
14
Other Operations
The weighted average interest rates applied and duration for future policy benefits in Other Operations, consisting of annuity and life insurance products, were as follows:
| As of | |||||||||||
| March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | ||||||||||
| Interest accretion rate | % | % | |||||||||
| Current discount rate | % | % | |||||||||
| Weighted average duration | |||||||||||
Obligations for annuities represent discounted periodic benefits to be paid to an individual or groups of individuals over their remaining lives. Other Operations' traditional insurance contracts, which are in run-off, have no premium remaining to be collected; therefore, future policy benefit reserves represent the present value of expected future policy benefits, discounted using the current discount rate, and the remaining amortizable deferred profit liability.
Future policy benefits for Other Operations includes deferred profit liability of $359 million as of March 31, 2025 and $379 million as of March 31, 2024. Future policy benefits excluding deferred profit liability were $3.0 billion as of March 31, 2025, $3.1 billion as of March 31, 2024, $2.9 billion as of December 31, 2024, and $3.2 billion as of December 31, 2023. Undiscounted expected future policy benefits were $4.3 billion as of March 31, 2025 and $4.4 billion as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, of the future policy benefit reserve was recoverable through treaties with external reinsurers.
D.Contractholder Deposit Funds
Contractholder deposit fund liabilities within Other Operations were $6.3 6.5 38 % of the balance is reinsured externally. Activity in these liabilities is presented net of reinsurance in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Changes in contractholder deposit fund liabilities generally relates to withdrawals and benefit payments, partially offset by deposits and interest credited.
As of March 31, 2025, the weighted average crediting rate, net amount at risk and cash surrender value for contractholder deposit fund liabilities not effectively exited through reinsurance were 3.20 %, $2.8 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively. The comparative amounts as of March 31, 2024 were 3.33 %, $3.0 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively. More than 99 4.0 3 4 1.2 1.2 50 150 1.6 90
E.Market Risk Benefits
Liabilities for market risk benefits ("MRBs") consist of variable annuity reinsurance contracts in Other Operations. These liabilities arise under annuities and riders to annuities written by ceding companies that guarantee the benefit received at death and, for a subset of policies, also provide contractholders the option, within 30 days of a policy anniversary after the appropriate waiting period, to elect minimum income payments. The Company's capital market risk exposure on variable annuity reinsurance contracts arises when the reinsured guaranteed minimum benefit exceeds the contractholder's account value in the related underlying mutual funds at the time the insurance benefit is payable under the respective contract. The Company receives and pays premium periodically based on the terms of the reinsurance agreements.

The following table presents the net amount at risk and the average attained age of contractholders (weighted by exposure) for contracts assumed by the Company. The net amount at risk is the amount the Company would have to pay to contractholders if all deaths or annuitizations occurred as of the earliest possible date in accordance with the insurance contract. The Company should be reimbursed in full for these payments unless the Berkshire reinsurance limit is exceeded, as discussed further in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 10 – Reinsurance
The Company's insurance subsidiaries enter into agreements with other insurance companies to limit losses from large exposures and to permit recovery of a portion of incurred losses. Reinsurance is ceded primarily in acquisition and disposition transactions when the underwriting company is not being acquired. Reinsurance does not relieve the originating insurer of liability. Therefore, reinsured liabilities must continue to be reported along with the related reinsurance recoverables. The Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of its credit risk.
The majority of the Company's reinsurance recoverables resulted from acquisition and disposition transactions in which the underwriting company was not acquired. The Company bears the risk of loss if its reinsurers and retrocessionaires do not meet or are unable to meet their reinsurance obligations to the Company. The Company reviews its reinsurance arrangements and establishes reserves against the recoverables primarily for expected credit losses.

Review of Declines in Fair Value. Management reviews debt securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether a credit loss allowance is needed based on criteria that include severity of decline; financial health and specific prospects of the issuer; and changes in the regulatory, economic or general market environment of the issuer's industry or geographic region.
The table below summarizes debt securities with a decline in fair value from amortized cost for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded (by investment grade and the length of time these securities have been in an unrealized loss position). Unrealized depreciation on these debt securities is primarily due to declines in fair value resulting from increasing interest rates since these securities were purchased.

Commercial Mortgage Loans
Mortgage loans held by the Company are made exclusively to commercial borrowers and are diversified by property type, location and borrower. Loans are generally issued at fixed rates of interest and are secured by high-quality, primarily completed and substantially leased operating properties.
The Company regularly evaluates and monitors credit risk from the initial mortgage loan underwriting and throughout the investment holding period. The annual portfolio review performed in the second quarter of 2024 confirmed ongoing strong overall credit quality in line with the previous year's results. For more information on the Company's accounting policies and methodologies regarding these investments, see Note 11 in the Company's 2024 Form 10-K.

B.Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the characteristics of investment assets (such as duration, yield, currency and liquidity) to meet the varying demands of the related insurance and contractholder liabilities. The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge the risk of changes in the net assets of certain of its foreign subsidiaries due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to hedge the interest rate risk of certain long-term debt.
As of March 31, 2025, the notional value of interest rate swap contracts increased to $3.0 billion compared to $2.7 billion as of December 31, 2024. There were no other material changes to the Company's derivative financial instruments during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Please refer to the Company's 2024 Form 10-K for further discussion of the types of derivative financial instruments and associated accounting policies. The effects of derivative financial instruments used in our individual hedging strategies were not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The gross fair values of our derivative financial instruments are presented in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Level 3 Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Certain inputs for instruments classified in Level 3 are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity) and significant to their resulting fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's best estimate of what hypothetical market participants would use to determine a transaction price for the asset or liability at the reporting date. Additionally, as discussed in Note 9E in the Company's 2024 Form 10-K, the Company classifies variable annuity assets and liabilities in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Quantitative Information about Unobservable Inputs
The following table summarizes the fair value and significant unobservable inputs that were developed directly by the Company and used in pricing these debt securities. The range and weighted average basis point amounts for liquidity reflect the Company's best estimates of the unobservable adjustments a market participant would make to calculate these fair values. An increase in liquidity spread adjustments would result in a lower fair value measurement, while a decrease would result in a higher fair value measurement.

B.Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value under Certain Conditions
Some financial assets and liabilities are not carried at fair value, such as commercial mortgage loans that are carried at unpaid principal, investment real estate that is carried at depreciated cost and equity securities with no readily determinable fair value when there are no observable market transactions. However, these financial assets and liabilities may be measured using fair value under certain conditions, such as when investments become impaired and are written down to their fair value, or when there are observable price changes from orderly market transactions of equity securities that otherwise had no readily determinable fair value.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, impairments recognized requiring the assets and liabilities described above to be measured at fair value were not material. In the first quarter of 2024, we determined our investment in VillageMD was impaired and recorded a $1.8 billion loss in Net investment losses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Observable price changes for equity securities with no readily determinable fair value were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

Note 13 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) ("AOCI") includes net unrealized (depreciation) appreciation on securities and derivatives, change in discount rate and instrument-specific credit risk for certain long-duration insurance contractholder liabilities (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), foreign currency translation, and the net postretirement benefits liability adjustment. AOCI includes the Company's share from unconsolidated entities reported on the equity method. Generally, tax effects in AOCI are established at the currently enacted tax rate and reclassified to Shareholders' net income (loss) in the same period that the related pre-tax AOCI reclassifications are recognized.
Shareholders' other comprehensive loss, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 is primarily attributable to the change in discount rates for certain long-duration liabilities and unrealized changes in the market values of securities and derivatives, including the impacts from unconsolidated entities reported on the equity method.

Note 14 – Strategic Optimization Program
In 2025, the Company commenced an enterprise-wide initiative to evolve our business and deliver a more efficient and improved experience for our patients, providers and customers. This program is expected to continue through December 2026 and include severance and other employee costs, accelerated asset amortization, and the operating results of certain small non-strategic businesses that we plan to discontinue. As we continue to evaluate additional opportunities to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of our operations, we anticipate future charges.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we reported total costs of $215 million, pre-tax ($163 million, after-tax) associated with this initiative, including a charge in of $198 million, pre-tax ($150 million, after-tax) that was primarily associated with employee severance. The remainder reflects the operating results of certain non-strategic businesses. We expect substantially all of the accrued liability to be paid by the end of 2025.
The following table summarizes a roll forward of the accrued liability recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2025:

Note 15 – Income Taxes
Income Tax Expense
The 14.5 % effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was lower than the 368.4 % rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to the absence of a valuation allowance related to the impairment of equity securities in 2024, partially offset by the absence of tax benefits recorded in 2024 related to the release of tax reserves following favorable state audit resolutions and the impact related to the HCSC transaction.
As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $856 million in deferred tax assets ("DTAs") associated with the impairment of equity securities as well as unrealized investment losses. A valuation allowance of $636 million, of which $427 million was established in the three months ended March 31, 2024, drove the higher effective tax rate and was almost entirely related to the impairment of equity securities discussed in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We have determined that a valuation allowance against the remaining DTAs is not currently required based on the Company's loss carryback capacity and ability and intent to hold certain securities until recovery. We continue to monitor and evaluate the need for any additional valuation allowance.
Note 16 – Contingencies and Other Matters
The Company, through its subsidiaries, is contingently liable for various guarantees provided in the ordinary course of business.
A.Financial Guarantees: Retiree and Life Insurance Benefits
The Company does not expect that these financial guarantees will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
24
B.Certain Other Guarantees
C.Guaranty Fund Assessments
The Company operates in a regulatory environment that may require its participation in assessments under state insurance guaranty association laws. The Company's exposure to assessments for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants is based on its share of business written in the relevant jurisdictions. There were no material charges or credits resulting from existing or new guaranty fund assessments for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
D.Legal and Regulatory Matters
The Company is routinely involved in numerous claims, lawsuits, regulatory inquiries and audits, government investigations, including under the federal False Claims Act and state false claims acts initiated by a government investigating body or by a qui tam relator's filing of a complaint under court seal, and other legal matters arising, for the most part, in the ordinary course of managing a global health services business. Additionally, the Company has received and is cooperating with subpoenas or similar processes from various governmental agencies requesting information, all arising in the normal course of its business. Disputed tax matters arising from audits by the Internal Revenue Service or other state and foreign jurisdictions, including those resulting in litigation, are accounted for under GAAP guidance for uncertain tax positions.
Note 17 – Segment Information
See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our segments. A description of our basis for reporting segment operating results is outlined below. Intersegment revenues primarily reflect pharmacy and care services transactions between the Evernorth Health Services and Cigna Healthcare segments. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") responsible for making decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assessing its performance.
The Company uses "pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations" and "adjusted revenues" as its principal financial measures of segment operating performance because management, including the CODM, believes these metrics reflect the underlying results of business operations and facilitate analysis of trends in underlying revenue, expenses and profitability to enable resource allocation decisions. We define pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations as income (loss) before income taxes excluding pre-tax income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains/losses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and special items. The Cigna Group's share of certain investment results of its joint ventures reported in the Cigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting are also excluded. Special items are matters that management, including the CODM, believes are not representative of the underlying results of operations due to their nature or size. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is measured on an after-tax basis for consolidated results and on a pre-tax basis for segment results.
The Company does not report total assets by segment because this is not a metric used by the CODM to allocate resources or evaluate segment performance.

Financial and performance guarantees. Evernorth Health Services may also provide certain financial and performance guarantees, including a minimum level of discounts a client may receive, generic utilization rates and various service levels. Clients may be entitled to receive compensation if we fail to meet the guarantees. Actual performance is compared to the contractual guarantee for each measure throughout the period, and the Company defers revenue for any estimated payouts within Accrued expenses and other liabilities (current). These estimates are adjusted and paid following the end of the annual guarantee period. Historically, adjustments to original estimates have not been material. This guarantee liability was $1.9
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to provide information to assist you in better understanding and evaluating our financial condition as of March 31, 2025, compared with December 31, 2024 and our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with the same period last year and is intended to help you understand the ongoing trends in our business. We encourage you to read this MD&A in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("2024 Form 10-K"). In particular, we encourage you to refer to the "Risk Factors" contained in Part I, Item 1A of our 2024 Form 10-K.
Unless otherwise indicated, financial information in this MD&A is presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company's significant accounting policies and see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
28
Statements in this Form 10-Q for updates to those policies resulting from adopting new accounting guidance, if any. The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements necessarily relies heavily on estimates. This and certain other factors call for caution in estimating full-year results based on interim results of operations. In some of our financial tables in this MD&A, we present either percentage changes or "N/M" when those changes are so large as to become not meaningful. Changes in percentages are expressed in basis points ("bps").
In this MD&A, our consolidated measures "adjusted income from operations," earnings per share on that same basis and "adjusted revenues" are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as substitutes for the most directly comparable GAAP measures of "shareholders' net income (loss)," "earnings per share" and "total revenues." We also use pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations and adjusted revenues to measure the results of our segments.
The Company uses "pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations" and "adjusted revenues" as its principal financial measures of segment operating performance because management believes these metrics reflect the underlying results of business operations and facilitate analysis of trends in underlying revenue, expenses and profitability. We define adjusted income (loss) from operations as shareholders' net income (loss) (or income (loss) before income taxes less pre-tax income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests for the segment metric) excluding net investment gains/losses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and special items. The Cigna Group's share of certain investment results of its joint ventures reported in the Cigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting are also excluded. Special items are matters that management believes are not representative of the underlying results of operations due to their nature or size. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is measured on an after-tax basis for consolidated results and on a pre-tax basis for segment results. Consolidated adjusted income (loss) from operations 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 (loss). See the below Financial Highlights section for a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted income from operations to shareholders' net income (loss).
The Company defines adjusted revenues as total revenues excluding the following adjustments: special items and The Cigna Group's share of certain investment results of its joint ventures reported in the Cigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting. Special items are matters that management believes are not representative of the underlying results of operations due to their nature or size. We exclude these items from this measure because management believes they are not indicative of past or future underlying performance of the business. Adjusted revenues is not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, total revenues. See the below Financial Highlights section for a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted revenues to total revenues.

Commentary: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 versus Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
The commentary presented below, and the segment commentaries that follow, compare results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 with results for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Commentary regarding percentage changes (or bps) and dollar variances represents the driver's impact on the overall category.
Shareholders' net income (loss) increased $1,600 million, primarily reflecting the absence of net investment losses recorded in 2024 ($1,875 million, after tax) driven by the impairment of equity securities.
Adjusted income from operations decreased 2%, primarily reflecting the absence of state tax benefits recorded in 2024 (-2%) and lower earnings in Cigna Healthcare (-3%), partially offset by higher earnings in Evernorth Health Services (+4%).
Medical customers decreased 6%, primarily reflecting the HCSC transaction (defined below).
Pharmacy revenues increased 16%, primarily reflecting higher utilization of prescription drugs from customer growth in Evernorth Health Services.
Premiums increased 10%, primarily reflecting higher premium rates in our U.S. Healthcare operating segment.
Fees and other revenues increased 17%, primarily reflecting growth in affordability services within our Pharmacy Benefit Services operating segment.
Net investment income decreased 18%, primarily due to lower average assets.
33
Pharmacy and other service costs increased 17%, primarily reflecting higher utilization of prescription drugs from customer growth in Evernorth Health Services.
Medical costs and other benefit expenses increased 11%, primarily reflecting higher medical costs in our U.S. Healthcare operating segment.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 14%, primarily reflecting costs associated with the Strategic Optimization Program (+5%) and the HCSC transaction costs (+5%).
Gain (loss) on sale of businesses primarily reflects the HCSC transaction. See the "Divestiture of Medicare Advantage and Related Businesses" section below and Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the HCSC transaction.
Investment results primarily reflect the absence of the impairment of VillageMD equity securities that was recorded in 2024.
The effective tax rate decreased, primarily driven by the absence of a valuation allowance related to the impairment of equity securities recorded in 2024 (-540%), partially offset by the absence of state tax benefits recorded in 2024 (+88%) and the impact related to the HCSC transaction (+69%). See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these matters.
Developments
Divestiture of Medicare Advantage and Related Businesses
On March 19, 2025, the Company completed the sale of our Medicare Advantage, Medicare Individual Stand-Alone Prescription Drug Plans, Medicare and Other Supplemental Benefits, and CareAllies businesses within the U.S. Healthcare operating segment to Health Care Service Corporation ("HCSC," and such transaction, the "HCSC transaction"). The purchase price increased from $3.3 billion to $4.8 billion, subject to post-closing contractual adjustments, reflecting higher statutory surplus for the legal entities when conveyed to HCSC. The Company received $4.2 billion cash proceeds at closing. We expect receipt of the remaining $0.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025 upon HCSC's collection of amounts due from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"). See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
We maintain liquidity at two levels: the subsidiary level and the parent company level.
Subsidiary Level. Cash requirements at the subsidiary level generally consist of pharmacy, medical costs and other benefit payments; expense requirements, primarily for employee compensation and benefits, information technology and facilities costs; income taxes; and debt service.
Our subsidiaries normally meet their liquidity requirements by maintaining appropriate levels of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments; using cash flows from operating activities; matching durations of investments to estimated durations for the related insurance and contractholder liabilities; selling investments; and borrowing from affiliates, subject to applicable regulatory limits.
Parent Level. Cash requirements at the parent company level generally consist of debt service; payment of declared dividends to shareholders; lending to subsidiaries as needed; and pension plan funding.
The parent company normally meets its liquidity requirements by maintaining appropriate levels of cash and various types of marketable investments; collecting dividends from its subsidiaries; using proceeds from issuing debt and common stock; and borrowing from its subsidiaries, subject to applicable regulatory limits.
Regulatory Restrictions. Dividends from our insurance, Health Maintenance Organization ("HMO") and certain foreign subsidiaries are subject to regulatory restrictions. See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information regarding these restrictions. Most of the Evernorth Health Services segment operations are not subject to regulatory restrictions regarding dividends and therefore provide significant financial flexibility to The Cigna Group.
Investment Portfolio. We support the liquidity needs of our businesses by managing the duration of invested assets to be consistent with the duration of liabilities. We manage the portfolio to both optimize returns in the current economic environment and meet our liquidity needs.

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||
| (In millions) | 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Operating activities | $ | 1,920 | $ | 4,840 | ||||||||||||||||
| Investing activities | $ | 1,197 | $ | (495) | ||||||||||||||||
| Financing activities | $ | (3,681) | $ | (2,529) | ||||||||||||||||
The following discussion explains variances in the various categories of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024.
Operating Activities. Cash flows from operating activities consist principally of cash receipts and disbursements for pharmacy revenues and costs, premiums, fees, investment income, taxes, benefit costs, and other expenses.
Operating cash flows decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily driven by the timing of settlements related to the accounts receivable facility as well as the absence of favorable net cash flow impacts from onboarding significant new clients in 2024.
Investing Activities. The increase in cash provided by investing activities reflects the net proceeds on the HCSC transaction, partially offset by higher investment purchases.
Financing Activities. The increase in cash used in financing activities in 2025 is driven by the absence of debt issuances that occurred in 2024, partially offset by lower share repurchases and lower debt repayments.
Capital Resources
Our capital resources consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and investments maintained at regulated subsidiaries required to underwrite insurance risks, cash flows from operating activities, our commercial paper program, revolving credit facility, and the issuance of long-term debt and equity securities. Our businesses generate significant cash flows from operations, some of which is subject to regulatory restrictions relative to the amount and timing of dividend payments to the parent company. Dividends received from U.S.-regulated subsidiaries were $0.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $0.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Non-regulated subsidiaries also generate significant cash flows from operating activities, which is typically available immediately to the parent company for general corporate purposes.
We prioritize our use of capital resources to (i) invest in capital expenditures (primarily related to technology to support innovative solutions for our clients and customers), provide the capital necessary to maintain or improve the financial strength ratings of subsidiaries, and to repay debt and fund pension obligations if necessary; (ii) pay dividends to shareholders; (iii) consider acquisitions and investments that are strategically and economically advantageous; and (iv) return capital to shareholders through share repurchases.
Funds Available
Commercial Paper Program. There was no commercial paper outstanding balance as of March 31, 2025.
Revolving Credit Agreements. Our revolving credit agreements provide us with the ability to borrow amounts for general corporate purposes, including for the purpose of providing liquidity support if necessary under our commercial paper program discussed above. In April 2025, the Company replaced its previous revolving credit agreements and entered into a $6.5 billion, five-year revolving credit and letter of credit agreement that will mature in April 2030. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our credit agreements and commercial paper program.
As of March 31, 2025, we had $6.5 billion of undrawn committed capacity under our revolving credit agreements (these amounts are available for general corporate purposes, including providing liquidity support for our commercial paper program), $6.5 billion of remaining capacity under our commercial paper program, and $8.5 billion in cash and short-term investments, approximately $0.8 billion of which was held by the parent company or certain nonregulated subsidiaries.
Our debt-to-capitalization ratio (calculated as Short-term debt and Long-term debt ("Total debt") as a percentage of Total shareholders' equity and Total debt ("Total capitalization")) was 43.1% and 43.8% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We actively monitor our debt obligations and engage in issuance or redemption activities as needed in accordance with our capital management strategy.
35
Subsidiary Borrowings. In addition to the sources of liquidity discussed above, the parent company can borrow an additional $3.6 billion from its subsidiaries without further approvals as of March 31, 2025.
Use of Capital Resources
Short-Term and Long-Term Debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company redeemed at par its $700 million 5.685% senior notes that were due March 2026. In April 2025, $900 million of 3.250% senior notes due April 2025 were repaid at maturity.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures for property, equipment and computer software were $0.3 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $0.3 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Dividends. The Company currently intends to pay regular quarterly dividends, with future declarations subject to approval by its Board of Directors and the Board's determination that the declaration of dividends remains in the best interests of The Cigna Group and its shareholders. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding dividend payments and declarations.
Share Repurchases. The Company maintains a share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors, under which it may repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, and alternate uses of capital. The share repurchase program may be effected through open market purchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or privately negotiated transactions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
We repurchased 5.0 million shares for approximately $1.5 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 10.1 million shares for approximately $3.4 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024. From April 1, 2025 through May 1, 2025, we repurchased 3.2 million shares for approximately $1.1 billion. Share repurchase authority was $7.7 billion as of May 1, 2025.
Other Sources of Funds and Uses of Capital Resources
Divestiture. As discussed in the "Developments" section above, the HCSC transaction was completed on March 19, 2025. We anticipate using the proceeds in alignment with our capital deployment priorities, with the majority allocated to share repurchases.
Risks to Liquidity and Capital Resources
Risks to our liquidity and capital resources outlook include cash projections that may not be realized, and the demand for funds could exceed available cash if our ongoing businesses experience unexpected shortfalls in earnings or we experience material adverse effects from one or more risks or uncertainties described more fully in the "Risk Factors" section in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Guarantees and Contractual Obligations
We are contingently liable for various contractual obligations and financial and other guarantees entered into in the ordinary course of business. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of various guarantees.
Due to the redemption of senior notes in the three months ended March 31, 2025, our long-term debt obligations as of March 31, 2025 have been updated compared to those previously provided in our 2024 Form 10-K. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. Except for the item listed below, there have been no material changes to other information presented in our guarantees and contractual obligations set forth in our 2024 Form 10-K.
On balance sheet:
Long-Term Debt. Total scheduled payments on long-term debt are $47.3 billion through February 2054 (of which $3.1 billion relate to the remainder of 2025), which include scheduled interest payments and maturities of long-term debt.
36
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if
•it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and
•changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Management has discussed how critical accounting estimates are developed and selected with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed the disclosures presented in our 2024 Form 10-K. We regularly evaluate items that may impact critical accounting estimates.
Our most critical accounting estimates, as well as the effect of hypothetical changes in material assumptions used to develop each estimate, are described in our 2024 Form 10-K. As of March 31, 2025, there were no significant changes to the critical accounting estimates from what was reported in our 2024 Form 10-K.
SEGMENT REPORTING
The following section in this MD&A discusses the results of each of our segments. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further description of our segments.
In segment discussions, we present "adjusted revenues" and "pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations," defined as income (loss) before income taxes excluding pre-tax income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains/losses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and special items. The Company uses "pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations" and "adjusted revenues" as its principal financial measures of segment operating performance because management believes these metrics reflect the underlying results of business operations and facilitate analysis of trends in underlying revenue, expenses and profitability. The Cigna Group share of certain investment results of its joint ventures reported in the Cigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting are also excluded. Special items are matters that management, including the chief operating decision maker, believes are not representative of the underlying results of operations due to their nature or size. Ratios presented in this segment discussion exclude the same items as adjusted revenues and pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations. See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of these metrics and a reconciliation of income (loss) before income taxes to pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations, as well as a reconciliation of Total revenues to adjusted revenues. Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements also explains that segment revenues include both external revenues and sales between segments that are eliminated in Corporate.
In these segment discussions, we also present "pre-tax margin," calculated as pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations divided by adjusted revenues.
See the "Executive Overview" section in this MD&A for summarized financial results of each of our segments.
Evernorth Health Services Segment
Evernorth Health Services includes a broad range of coordinated and point solution health services and capabilities within our Pharmacy Benefit Services and Specialty and Care Services operating segments. As described in the introduction to Segment Reporting, Evernorth Health Services' performance is measured using adjusted revenues and pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations.
Key Factors Affecting Segment Performance
The key factors that impact the segment's revenues and income from operations are claims volume, mix of claims, price and contract affordability services. Specialty and Care Services revenues are also impacted by customer and client growth. These key factors are discussed further below. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information on revenue and cost recognition policies for this segment.
Key factors that impact both Pharmacy Benefit Services and Specialty and Care Services:
•Pharmacy claim volume (also referred to as utilization) relates to processing prescription claims filled by retail pharmacies in our network and dispensing prescription claims from our home delivery and specialty pharmacies, along with other claims.
37
Pharmacy claim volume (utilization) is impacted by new clients or organic customer growth through the expansion of existing clients or through the loss of customers and business.
•The mix of claims generally considers the type of drug and distribution channel method. In addition to the types of drugs, the mix of generic or biosimilar claims also impacts our results. Generally, a higher mix of generic and biosimilar drugs reduces revenues and increases income from operations, as generic and biosimilar drugs are typically priced lower than the branded drug counterparts, providing positive impacts on our clients, our customers and us.
•Pharmaceutical manufacturer inflation also impacts our pricing because most of our contracts provide that we bill clients and pay pharmacies based on a generally recognized price index for pharmaceuticals. Therefore, the rate of inflation for prescription drugs and our efforts to manage this inflation for our clients continue to be significant drivers of our revenues and cost of revenues in the current environment.
•Our client contract pricing is impacted by our ongoing ability to negotiate favorable contracts for pharmacy network, pharmaceutical and wholesaler purchasing, and manufacturer rebates (also referred to as affordability improvements). Through these affordability services, we seek to improve the effectiveness of our combined and standalone solutions, for our clients, by continuously innovating, improving affordability and implementing drug purchasing contract initiatives. Our continued affordability improvements further reduce drug costs for our customers and clients, and we share in the value delivered, which generally results in a favorable impact on our income from operations.
Key factors that impact Specialty and Care Services:
•Customer and client growth, both organic and new business, in our Specialty and Care Services business generally results in increased revenues and income from operations. This includes client movement in our specialty, specialty distribution services, virtual care, physical primary care, benefits management and behavioral health services as we expand our businesses and build upon our cross-enterprise leverage.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 versus Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Commentary in parentheses regarding percentage changes represents the driver's impact on the overall category.
Adjusted revenues increased 16%, primarily reflecting higher utilization of prescription drugs from customer growth in both Specialty and Care Services (+7%) and Pharmacy Benefit Services (+5%), an increase due to claims mix in Pharmacy Benefit Services (+2%), and inflation on branded drugs in both Pharmacy Benefit Services (+1%) and Specialty and Care Services (+1%).
Pre-tax adjusted income from operations increased 5%, primarily reflecting specialty pharmacy growth in Specialty and Care Services (+7%) and continued affordability improvements in Pharmacy Benefit Services (+6%). These increases were partially offset by strategic investments and initiatives to support business growth (-4% in Specialty and Care Services and -2% in Pharmacy Benefit Services).
The SG&A expense ratio decreased 20 bps, primarily reflecting higher adjusted revenues as discussed above.
Cigna Healthcare Segment
Cigna Healthcare includes the U.S. Healthcare and International Health businesses, which provide comprehensive medical and coordinated solutions to clients and customers. As described in the introduction to Segment Reporting, performance of the Cigna Healthcare segment is measured using adjusted revenues and pre-tax adjusted income from operations.
On March 19, 2025, the Company completed the sale of our Medicare Advantage, Medicare Individual Stand-Alone Prescription Drug Plans, Medicare and Other Supplemental Benefits, and CareAllies businesses within the U.S. Healthcare operating segment. See "Developments" for further discussion.
Key Factors Affecting Segment Performance
The key factors that impact the segment's revenues and income from operations include revenue growth, customer growth, medical cost trend, percentage of Medicare Advantage customers in plans eligible for quality bonus payments, the medical care ratio ("MCR") and the SG&A expense ratio. These key factors are discussed further below. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information on revenue and cost-recognition policies for this segment.
•Revenue growth includes increases to premium rates in consideration of anticipated medical cost increases, customer growth driven by new clients and customers, and increased fee revenue from the expansion of products and services to existing clients and customers, including solutions provided by Evernorth Health Services.
•Higher medical costs (also referred to as higher medical cost trend) is impacted by utilization (the quantity of medical services consumed by our customers), unit costs (the cost per medical service) and mix of services.
•Prior to the divestiture of our Medicare Advantage and related businesses to HCSC, the percentage of Medicare Advantage customers in bonus-eligible plans impacted the amount of quality bonus payments we receive.
•MCR represents medical costs as a percentage of premiums for our segment's insured businesses, and it is impacted by medical cost trend and premium rates. Affordability initiatives that serve to mitigate medical cost inflation also impact the MCR.
•The SG&A expense ratio represents the segment's selling, general and administrative expenses divided by adjusted revenues.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 versus Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Commentary regarding percentage changes (or bps) and dollar variances represents the driver's impact on the overall category.
Adjusted revenues increased 9%, or $1,205 million, primarily due to higher premiums within Medicare Part D (+$573 million), employer insured (+$295 million) and stop loss (+$200 million), reflecting premium rate increases to cover expected increases in underlying medical costs across those businesses.
Pre-tax adjusted income from operations decreased 4%, or $53 million, primarily due to a higher MCR (-$285 million), partially offset by a lower SG&A expense ratio (+$160 million).
The medical care ratio increased 230 bps, primarily due to higher medical costs, driven primarily by stop loss.
The SG&A expense ratio decreased 110 bps, primarily due to revenue growth outpacing volume-related expenses.
Medical Customers
Medical customers include individuals who meet any of the following criteria: are covered under a medical insurance policy, managed care arrangement, or administrative services agreement issued by Cigna Healthcare; have access to Cigna Healthcare's provider network for covered services under their medical plan; or have medical claims that are administered by Cigna Healthcare.

Other Operations
Other Operations includes corporate-owned life insurance ("COLI"), the Company's run-off operations and other non-strategic businesses. As described in the introduction of Segment Reporting, performance of Other Operations is measured using adjusted revenues and pre-tax adjusted income from operations.

INVESTMENT ASSETS
Information regarding our investment assets is included in Notes 11, 12 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Investment Outlook
Future realized and unrealized investment results will be driven largely by market conditions, and these future conditions are not reasonably predictable. We believe that the vast majority of our investments will continue to perform under their contractual terms. We manage the portfolio for long-term economics; therefore, we expect to hold a significant portion of these assets for the long term. Although future declines in investment fair values remain possible due to interest rate movements and credit deterioration due to both

investment-specific uncertainties and global economic uncertainties as discussed below, we do not expect these losses to have a material unfavorable effect on our financial condition or liquidity. The below discussion addresses the strategies and risks associated with our various classes of investment assets. See Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional information regarding risks associated with our investment portfolio.
Debt Securities
The carrying value of our debt securities portfolio decreased from $9.4 billion as of December 31, 2024 to $8.2 billion as of March 31, 2025, primarily reflecting the HCSC transaction. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Our portfolio remains in a net unrealized depreciation position due to generally increasing interest rates over the past few years.
As of March 31, 2025, $6.9 billion, or 84%, of the debt securities in our investment portfolio were investment grade (Baa and above, or equivalent) and the remaining $1.3 billion were below investment grade. The majority of the bonds that are below investment grade were rated at the higher end of the non-investment grade spectrum. These quality characteristics have not materially changed since the prior year and remain consistent with our investment strategy.
Investments in debt securities are diversified by issuer, geography and industry. On an aggregate basis, the debt securities portfolio continues to perform according to original expectations, which includes a long-term economic investment strategy. Primary risks facing many of the issuers in our portfolio include ongoing geopolitical events and economic conditions. To date, most issuers have been successful in managing these issues without a meaningful change in credit quality. We continue to monitor the economic environment and its effect on our portfolio; we also continue to consider the impact of various factors in determining the allowance for credit losses on debt securities, which is discussed in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commercial Mortgage Loans
As of March 31, 2025, our $1.3 billion commercial mortgage loan portfolio consisted of approximately 40 fixed-rate loans, diversified by property type, location and borrower. These loans are carried in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at their unpaid principal balance, net of an allowance for expected credit losses. As a result of increasing market interest rates since the majority of these loans were made, the carrying value exceeds the market value of these loans as of March 31, 2025. Given the quality and diversity of the underlying real estate, positive debt service coverage and significant borrower cash invested in the property generally ranging between 30% and 40%, we remain confident that the vast majority of borrowers will continue to perform as expected under their contract terms. For further discussion of the results and changes in key credit quality indicators, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Office sector fundamentals are weak but have begun to stabilize for higher-quality assets. Lower-quality assets will continue to experience value erosion due to weak tenant demand and low investor interest. Additionally, the current macroeconomic headwinds are impacting capital markets and reducing investor appetite for capital-intensive assets (e.g., offices and regional shopping malls). Our commercial mortgage loan portfolio has no exposure to regional shopping malls and less than 25% exposure to office properties. Although future losses remain possible due to further credit deterioration, we do not expect these losses to have a material unfavorable effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Other Long-Term Investments
Other long-term investments of $4.7 billion as of March 31, 2025 included investments in securities limited partnerships and real estate limited partnerships, direct investments in real estate joint ventures, and other deposit activity that is required to support various insurance and health services businesses. These limited partnership entities typically invest in mezzanine debt or equity of privately held companies and equity real estate. Given our subordinate position in the capital structure of these underlying entities, we assume a higher level of risk for higher expected returns. To mitigate risk, these investments are diversified by industry sector or property type and geographic region. No single partnership investment exceeded 3% of our securities and real estate limited partnership portfolio.
We expect continued volatility in private equity and real estate fund performance going forward as fair market valuations are adjusted to reflect market and portfolio transactions. Less than 4% of our other long-term investments are exposed to real estate in the office sector.
Unconsolidated Subsidiary Investments Portfolio
We participate in an insurance joint venture in China with a 50% ownership interest. We account for this joint venture under the equity method of accounting. Our 50% share of the investment portfolio supporting the joint venture's liabilities was approximately $16.2 billion as of March 31, 2025. These investments were comprised of approximately 75% debt securities, including government and corporate debt diversified by issuer, industry and geography; 15% equities, including mutual funds, equity securities and private
42
equity partnerships; and 10% long-term deposits and policy loans. We continuously review the joint venture's investment strategy and its execution. There were no investments with a material unrealized loss as of March 31, 2025. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information regarding unconsolidated subsidiaries.
MARKET RISK
Financial Instruments
Our assets and liabilities include financial instruments subject to the risk of potential losses from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. We encourage you to read this in conjunction with "Market Risk – Financial Instruments" included in the MD&A section in our 2024 Form 10-K.
As of March 31, 2025, there was no material change in our risk exposure as reported in our 2024 Form 10-K.
