1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, or those normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on February 19, 2026. We refer to this Form 10-K as the “2025 Form 10-K” in this document. References throughout this document to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company,” and “Humana” mean Humana Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The areas involving the most significant use of estimates are the estimation of benefits payable, the impact of risk adjustment provisions related to our Medicare contracts, the valuation and related impairment recognition of investment securities, and the valuation and related impairment recognition of long-lived assets, including goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. These estimates are based on knowledge of current events and anticipated future events, and accordingly, actual results may ultimately differ materially from those estimates. For additional information regarding accounting policies considered in preparing our consolidated financial statements, refer to Note 2 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2025 Form 10-K.
The financial information has been prepared in accordance with our customary accounting practices and has not been audited. In our opinion, the information presented reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of interim results. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
MaxHealth Acquisition
On February 13, 2026, we acquired MaxHealth, a Florida-based primary care organization, for cash consideration of approximately $908 million, net of cash acquired. For additional information regarding acquisitions, refer to Note 3 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.
Value Creation Initiatives and Impairment Charges
In order to create capacity to fund growth in our businesses, we committed to drive additional value for the enterprise through cost saving and productivity initiatives. In addition, in response to sustained macroeconomic, regulatory and competitive pressures impacting the industry, we initiated a substantial multi-year transformation program designed to re-align our cost structure, operating model and technology footprint with evolving market conditions.
As a result of these initiatives, we recorded charges of $56 million and $154 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $29 million and $53 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, within operating costs in the consolidated statements of income. The charges primarily relate to severance and associate exit costs, asset impairments, and external consulting expenses incurred to execute the program. We expect to incur additional charges over the course of the program.

(Unaudited)
In addition, we recorded impairment charges related to minority-interest investments of $21 32
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues include premiums and services revenue. Services revenue includes administrative service fees that are recorded based upon established per member per month rates and the number of members for the month and are recognized as services are provided for the month. Additionally, services revenue includes net patient services revenue that is recorded based upon established billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments, and is recognized as services are provided. For additional information regarding our revenues, refer to Note 2 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2025 Form 10-K. For additional information regarding disaggregation of revenue by segment and type, refer to Note 14 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.
At June 30, 2026, accounts receivable related to services were $337 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we had no material bad-debt expense and there were no material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, services revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods, such as due to changes in transaction price, was not material. Further, services revenue expected to be recognized in any future year related to remaining performance obligations was not material.
Reinsurance
During 2025 and 2026, we entered into agreements with unrelated insurers that do not qualify for reinsurance accounting under GAAP, and are accounted for using deposit accounting. These contracts minimize the risk of catastrophic loss, reducing capital and surplus requirements. Total deposit assets and liabilities related to these reinsurance agreements that do not qualify for reinsurance accounting under GAAP are not material at June 30, 2026.
2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting Pronouncements Effective in Future Periods
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03 — Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new guidance requires significant additional disclosures disaggregating certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The new guidance requires prospective application (with retrospective application permitted). The new guidance will be effective for us beginning with our annual 2027 year-end financial statements, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact on our disclosures.
In September 2025, The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-06 — Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The new guidance modernizes consideration of different methods of software development, updating the requirements for capitalization of software costs. The new guidance requires prospective application (with retrospective application permitted). The new guidance will be effective for us beginning with our interim 2028 financial statements, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that apply to us or that are expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
On February 13, 2026, we acquired MaxHealth, a leading primary care platform focused on providing high-quality, integrated care to adults and senior patients throughout Florida, for cash consideration of approximately $908 million, net of cash acquired. This resulted in a preliminary purchase price allocation to goodwill of approximately $800 million, other intangible assets of $71 million, and net tangible assets acquired of $59 million. The other intangible assets, which primarily consist of member relationships and trade names, have an estimated weighted average useful life of 6.9 years. The purchase price allocation is preliminary, subject to completion of valuation analysis, including for example, refining assumptions used to calculate the fair value of intangible assets.
During 2026 and 2025, we acquired and disposed other health and wellness related businesses that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. The results of operations and financial condition of these businesses acquired have been included in our condensed consolidated statements of income and condensed consolidated balance sheets from the respective acquisition dates. Acquisition related costs recognized in 2026 and 2025 were not material to our results of operations. For asset acquisitions, the goodwill acquired is partially amortizable as deductible expenses for tax purposes. The pro forma financial information assuming the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of the calendar year prior to the year of acquisition, as well as the revenues and earnings generated during the quarter of acquisition, were not material for disclosure purposes.

Approximately 97 % of our debt securities were investment-grade quality, with a weighted average credit rating of AA- by Standard & Poor's Rating Service, or S&P, at June 30, 2026. Our remaining debt securities below investment-grade were primarily rated BB-. Tax-exempt municipal securities were diversified among general obligation bonds of states and local municipalities in the United States as well as special revenue bonds issued by municipalities to finance specific public works projects such as utilities, water and sewer, transportation, or education. Our general obligation bonds are diversified across the United States with no individual state exceeding approximately 1 % of our total debt securities. Our investment policy limits investments in a single issuer and requires diversification among various asset types.
Our unrealized losses from all debt securities were generated from approximately 2,075 positions out of a total of approximately 2,925 positions at June 30, 2026. All issuers of debt securities we own that were trading at an unrealized loss at June 30, 2026 remain current on all contractual payments. After taking into account these and other factors previously described, we believe these unrealized losses primarily were caused by an increase in market interest rates in the current markets since the time these debt securities were purchased. At June 30, 2026, we

did not intend to sell any debt securities with an unrealized loss position in accumulated other comprehensive income, and it is not likely that we will be required to sell these debt securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Additionally, we did not record any material credit allowances for debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025.

Interest Rate Swaps
We have entered into interest-rate swap agreements with major financial institutions to convert our interest-rate exposure on some of our senior notes payable from fixed rates to variable rates, based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), to align interest costs more closely with floating interest rates received on our cash equivalents and investment securities. These swap agreements were qualified and designated as a fair value hedge. Our interest rate swaps are recognized in other assets or other liabilities, as appropriate, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value as of the reporting date. Our interest rate swaps are highly effective at reflecting the fair value of our hedged fixed rate senior notes payable. We utilize market-based financing rates, forward yield curves and discount rates in determining fair value of these swaps at each reporting date, a Level 2 measure within the fair value hierarchy. The cumulative, aggregate decrease to the carrying value of the senior notes was approximately $129 million at June 30, 2026. Our swap positions at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 included swap assets, included within other long-term assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, of $17 million and $57 million, respectively, and swap liabilities, included within other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, of $146 million and $51 million, respectively. We include the gain or loss on the swap agreements in interest expense on our condensed consolidated income statement, the same line item as the offsetting loss or gain on the related senior notes. The gain or loss due to hedge ineffectiveness was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Financial Liabilities
Our debt is recorded at carrying value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value of our junior subordinated and senior notes debt outstanding, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $12.9 billion at June 30, 2026 and $12.4 billion at December 31, 2025. The fair value of our junior subordinated and senior notes debt was $12.7 billion at June 30, 2026 and $12.2 billion at December 31, 2025. The fair value of our debt is determined based on Level 2 inputs, including quoted market prices for the same or similar debt, or if no quoted market prices are available, on the current prices estimated to be available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Carrying value approximates fair value for our commercial paper borrowings. The commercial paper borrowings were $1.3 billion at June 30, 2026. We had no outstanding commercial paper borrowings at December 31, 2025.
Put and Call Options Measured at Fair Value
The put and call options fair values associated with our primary care strategic partnership with Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, or WCAS, which are exercisable at a fixed revenue exit multiple and provide a minimum return on WCAS' investment if exercised, are measured at fair value each reporting period using a Monte Carlo simulation. The put and call options fair values, derived from the Monte Carlo simulation, were $1.6 billion and $20 million, respectively, at June 30, 2026. The put and call options fair values, derived from the Monte Carlo simulation, were $1.4 billion and $13 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025. The put liability and call asset are included within other long-term liabilities and other long-term assets, respectively, within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Fair value changes to the put and call options are included within Other expense, net within our condensed consolidated income statement.
Based on the updated revenue growth assumptions in our most recent projections, the first two cohorts of clinics under our partnership with WCAS can be called by us in 2026 for approximately $1.0 billion to $1.6 billion.
The significant unobservable inputs utilized in these Level 3 fair value measurements (and selected values) include the enterprise value, annualized volatility and credit spread. Enterprise value was derived from a discounted cash flow model, which utilized significant unobservable inputs for long-term revenue, to measure underlying cash

The assumptions used for annualized volatility, credit spread and weighted average cost of capital reflect the lowest and highest values where they differ significantly across the series of put and call options due to their expected exercise dates.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis subject to fair value adjustment only in certain circumstances. As disclosed in Note 3, we acquired various health and wellness related businesses during 2026 and 2025, including the acquisition of MaxHealth in February 2026. The values of net tangible assets acquired and resulting goodwill and other intangible assets were recorded at fair value primarily using Level 3 inputs. The majority of the related tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their carrying value as of the respective dates of acquisition, as their carrying values approximated their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair values of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in these acquisitions were internally estimated primarily based on the income approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on the present value of the cash flows that the assets are expected to generate in the future. We developed internal estimates for expected cash flows and discount rates in the present value calculations. There were no material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during 2026 and 2025 other than the assets and liabilities assumed in these acquisitions and any subsequent impairments. We recorded an impairment charge of $128 million relating to our indefinite-lived intangible assets in 2025.

The total estimate of benefits payable for claims incurred but not reported, or IBNR, is included within the incurred claims amounts. At June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, benefits payable included IBNR of approximately $8.9 billion and $7.0 billion, primarily associated with claims incurred in each respective period.
Amounts incurred related to prior periods vary from previously estimated liabilities as the claims ultimately are settled. Negative amounts reported for incurred related to prior years result from claims being ultimately settled for amounts less than originally estimated (favorable development).
Our reserving practice is to consistently recognize the actuarial best estimate of our ultimate liability for claims. Actuarial standards require the use of assumptions based on moderately adverse experience, which generally results in favorable reserve development, or reserves that are considered redundant. For additional information regarding our benefits payable and benefits expense recognition, refer to Note 2 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Stock Repurchases
Our Board of Directors may authorize the purchase of our common stock shares. Under the share repurchase authorization, shares may be purchased from time to time at prevailing prices in the open market, by block purchases, through plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or in privately-negotiated transactions, including pursuant to accelerated share repurchase agreements with investment banks, subject to certain regulatory restrictions on volume, pricing, and timing.
Effective February 16, 2024, the Board of Directors replaced the February 2023 repurchase authorization (of which approximately $824 million remained unused) with a new share repurchase authorization for repurchases of up to $3 billion of our common shares exclusive of shares repurchased in connection with employee stock plans, expiring as of February 15, 2027, which we refer to as the 2024 repurchase authorization. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 0.6 million shares in open market transactions for $103 million. These shares were repurchased at an average price of $182.13 under the February 2024 share repurchase authorization. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 0.4 million shares in open market transactions for $100 million. These shares were repurchased at an average price of $233.73 under the February 2024 share repurchase authorization.
Our remaining repurchase authorization was $2.7 billion as of July 28, 2026.
In connection with employee stock plans, we acquired 0.03 million common shares for $5 million and 0.04 million common shares for $9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Junior Subordinated Notes
In March 2026, we issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6.625 % fixed-to-fixed rate junior subordinated notes (Subordinated Notes) due September 15, 2056, which resulted in approximately $990 million of net proceeds after deducting underwriters' discounts and offering expenses. The Subordinated Notes will bear interest from, and including, March 9, 2026 to September 15, 2031 (First Reset Date) at a rate of 6.625 % per year. The interest rate will reset every five years beginning on September 15, 2031, to equal the then-current-five-year U.S. Treasury rate plus a spread of 2.891 %, provided the interest rate will not reset below 6.625 %. We have the right

to defer payment of all or part of the current and accrued interest on the Subordinated Notes, on one or more occasions, for a period of up to 10 consecutive years. We may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, declare or pay any dividends or other distributions on, or redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any of our capital stock during the deferral period. We are currently not deferring payment. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the Subordinated Notes during specified periods and at specified redemption prices. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including repayment of borrowings under our commercial paper program.
Senior Notes
In March 2026, we entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Repurchase Plan to repurchase a portion of our $750 million aggregate principal amount of 1.350 % senior notes maturing in February 2027, $600 million aggregate principal of 3.950 % senior notes maturing in March 2027, $750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.700 % senior notes maturing in March 2029, $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.125 % senior notes maturing in August 2029 and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 2.150 % senior notes maturing in February 2032 during the period beginning on March 23, 2026 and ending on July 31, 2026. For the period ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased $44 million of the principal amount of the 1.350 % senior notes maturing in February 2027 for approximately $43 million cash, $37 million of the principal amount of the 3.950 % senior notes maturing in March 2027 for approximately $37 million cash, $61 million of the principal amount of the 3.700 % senior notes maturing in March 2029 for approximately $59 million cash, $50 million of the principal amount of the 3.125 % senior notes maturing in August 2029 for approximately $48 million cash and $108 million of the principal amount of the 2.150 % senior notes maturing in February 2032 for approximately $94 million cash.
We have entered into interest-rate swap agreements with major financial institutions to convert our interest-rate exposure on some of our senior notes payable from fixed rates to variable rates, based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), to align interest costs more closely with floating interest rates received on our cash equivalents and investment securities, as further described in Note 5. As a result, the carrying value of these senior notes has been adjusted to reflect changes in value caused by an increase or decrease in interest rates. The cumulative, aggregate decrease to the carrying value of the senior notes was approximately $129 million at June 30, 2026.
For additional information regarding our Senior Notes, refer to Note 13 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Pre-Capitalized Trust Security Arrangements
In May 2026, we entered into Pre-Capitalized Trust Security arrangements (“P-Caps”) with Horseshoe Funding Trust I (“2036 Trust”) and Horseshoe Funding Trust II (“2055 Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”). The Trusts each completed the issuance and sale of $750 million P-Caps exempted from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The P-Caps provide us with on-demand capital and liquidity by permitting us to issue up to $750 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.062 % Senior Notes due 2036 (the “2036 Senior Notes”) to the 2036 Trust during a ten-year period and up to $750 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.887 % Senior Notes due 2055 (the “2055 Senior Notes” and, together with the 2036 Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”) to the 2055 Trust during a thirty-year period. Each Trust invested the proceeds from the sale of its P-Caps in principal and interest strips of U.S. Treasury securities (the “Eligible Assets”).
In May 2026, we also entered into separate facility agreements (each, a “Facility Agreement”) with each Trust and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee for the Senior Notes (the “Trustee”). Under the Facility Agreements, each Trust granted the Company the right to require such Trust to purchase, on one or more occasions, up to $750 million aggregate principal amount of the applicable Senior Notes (each, an “Issuance Right”), and the Company agreed to pay semi-annual facility fees calculated at 1.661 % per annum for the 2036 Trust and 1.916 % per annum for the 2055 Trust on the unexercised portion of the applicable Issuance Right. We also entered into separate trust expense reimbursement agreements with each Trust.

An Issuance Right will be exercised automatically in full upon certain payment defaults under the applicable Facility Agreement or trust expense reimbursement agreement, or upon certain bankruptcy events. We will be required to exercise each Issuance Right in full upon certain other events, including if we reasonably believe our consolidated net worth has fallen below $4.0 billion, upon certain indenture defaults or change-of-control offer expiration events, or upon specified events relating to a Trust’s status under the Investment Company Act.
As of June 30, 2026, we had not exercised our Issuance Right under the P-Cap arrangements, and no senior notes had been issued to the Trusts. Accordingly, no debt related to the P-Cap arrangements has been recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revolving Credit Agreements
In May 2025, we entered into an amended and restated 5-year , $5.0 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement. The May 2025 revolving credit agreement (i) increases the amount of the commitments under our June 2023 revolving credit agreement from $2.642 billion to $5.0 billion and (ii) replaces our existing May 2024 364-day $2.1 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement, which expired in accordance with its terms.
Under the revolving credit agreement, at our option, we can borrow on either a competitive advance basis or a revolving credit basis. The revolving credit portion bears interest at Term SOFR or the base rate plus a spread. The competitive advance portion of any borrowings will bear interest at market rates prevailing at the time of borrowing on either a fixed rate or a floating rate based Term SOFR, at our option.
The SOFR spread varies depending on our credit ratings ranging from 79.5 to 130.0 basis points. As of June 30, 2026, our SOFR was 101.5 basis points. We also pay an annual facility fee regardless of utilization. This facility fee varies depending on our credit ratings ranging from 8.0 to 20.0 basis points. As of June 30, 2026, our facility fee was 11.0 basis points.
The terms of our revolving credit agreement include standard provisions related to conditions of borrowing which could limit our ability to borrow additional funds. In addition, our credit agreement contains customary restrictive covenants and a financial covenant regarding maximum debt to capitalization of 60 %, as well as customary events of default. We are in compliance with this financial covenant, with actual debt to capitalization of 42.7 % as measured in accordance with the revolving credit agreement as of June 30, 2026. Upon our agreement with one or more financial institutions, we may expand the aggregate commitments under the revolving credit agreement by up to $1.0 billion, to a maximum of $6.0 billion.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $5.0 billion of remaining borrowing capacity under the credit agreement (which excludes the uncommitted $1.0 billion of incremental loan facilities), none of which would be restricted by our financial covenant compliance requirement.
We have other customary relationships, including financial advisory and banking, with some parties to the revolving credit agreement.
For additional information regarding our Revolving Credit Agreements, refer to Note 13 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Commercial Paper
Under our commercial paper program, we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes privately placed on a discount basis through certain broker dealers at any time. Amounts available under the program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. The net proceeds of issuances have been and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The maximum principal amount outstanding at any one time during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $2.63 billion, with $1.32 billion outstanding amount at June 30, 2026 and no

outstanding amount at December 31, 2025. The outstanding commercial paper at June 30, 2026 had a weighted average annual interest rate of 4.04 %.
For additional information regarding our Commercial Paper refer to Note 13 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Other Short-term Borrowings
We are a member, through one subsidiary, of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, or FHLB. As a member we have the ability to obtain short-term cash advances, subject to certain minimum collateral requirements. At June 30, 2026 we had no outstanding short-term FHLB borrowings.
13. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES
Government Contracts
Our Medicare products, which accounted for approximately 86 % of our total premiums and services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily consisted of products covered under the Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan contracts with the federal government. These contracts are renewed generally for a calendar year term unless CMS notifies us of its decision not to renew by May 1 of the calendar year in which the contract would end, or we notify CMS of our decision not to renew by the first Monday in June of the calendar year in which the contract would end. All material contracts between Humana and CMS relating to our Medicare products have been renewed for 2026, and all of our product offerings filed with CMS and going to market for 2026 have been approved.
CMS uses a risk-adjustment model that adjusts premiums paid to Medicare Advantage, or MA, plans according to health status of covered members. The risk-adjustment model, which CMS implemented pursuant to the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA) and the Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 (BIPA), generally pays more where a plan's membership has higher expected costs. Under this model, rates paid to MA plans are based on actuarially determined bids, which include a process whereby our prospective payments are based on our estimated cost of providing standard Medicare-covered benefits to an enrollee with a "national average risk profile." That baseline payment amount is adjusted to account for certain demographic characteristics and health status of our enrolled members. Under the risk-adjustment methodology, all MA plans must collect from providers and submit the necessary diagnosis code information to CMS within prescribed deadlines. The CMS risk-adjustment model uses the diagnosis data, collected from providers, to calculate the health status-related risk-adjusted premium payment to MA plans, which CMS further adjusts for coding pattern differences between the health plans and the government fee-for-service (FFS) program. We generally rely on providers, including certain providers in our network who are our employees, to code their claim submissions with appropriate diagnoses, which we send to CMS as the basis for our health status-adjusted payment received from CMS under the actuarial risk-adjustment model. We also rely on these providers to document appropriately all medical data, including the diagnosis data submitted with claims. In addition, we conduct medical record reviews as part of our data and payment accuracy compliance efforts, to more accurately reflect diagnosis conditions under the risk adjustment model.
CMS and the Office of the Inspector General of Health and Human Services, or HHS-OIG, perform audits of various companies’ risk adjustment diagnosis data submissions. We refer to these audits as Risk-Adjustment Data Validation Audits, or RADV audits. RADV audits review medical records in an attempt to validate provider medical record documentation and coding practices that influence the calculation of health status-related premium payments to MA plans.
In 2012, CMS released an MA contract-level RADV methodology that would extrapolate the results of each CMS RADV audit sample to the audited MA contract’s entire health status-related risk adjusted premium amount for the year under audit. In doing so, CMS recognized “that the documentation standard used in RADV audits to determine a contract’s payment error (medical records) is different from the documentation standard used to develop the Part C risk-adjustment model (FFS claims).” To correct for this difference, CMS stated that it would apply a
27
Humana Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Unaudited)
“Fee-for-Service Adjuster (FFS Adjuster)” as “an offset to the preliminary recovery amount.” This adjuster would be “calculated by CMS based on a RADV-like review of records submitted to support FFS claims data.” CMS stated that this methodology would apply to audits beginning with payment year (PY) 2011. Humana relied on CMS’s 2012 guidance in submitting MA bids to CMS. Humana also launched a “Self-Audits” program in 2013 that applied CMS’s 2012 RADV audit methodology and included an estimated FFS Adjuster. Humana completed Self-Audits for PYs 2011-2016 and reported results to CMS.
In October 2018, however, CMS issued a proposed rule announcing possible changes to the RADV audit methodology, including elimination of the FFS Adjuster. CMS proposed (Proposed RADV Rule) applying its revised methodology, including extrapolated recoveries without application of a FFS Adjuster, to RADV audits dating back to PY 2011. On January 30, 2023, CMS published a final rule related to the RADV audit methodology (Final RADV Rule). The Final RADV Rule confirmed CMS’s decision to eliminate the FFS Adjuster. The Final RADV Rule states CMS’s intention to extrapolate results from CMS and HHS-OIG RADV audits beginning with PY 2018, rather than PY 2011 as proposed. However, CMS’s Final RADV Rule does not adopt a specific sampling, extrapolation or audit methodology. CMS instead stated its general plan to rely on “any statistically valid method . . . that is determined to be well-suited to a particular audit.”
We believe that the Final RADV Rule fails to address adequately the statutory requirement of actuarial equivalence and violates the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). CMS failed to meet its legal obligations in the federal rulemaking process to give a reasoned justification for the rule or provide a meaningful opportunity for public comment. They also chose to apply the rule retroactively rather than prospectively, as required by law. Humana’s actuarially certified bids through PY 2027 preserved Humana’s position that CMS should apply an FFS Adjuster in any RADV audit that CMS intends to extrapolate. CMS confirmed its intent to apply the Final RADV Rule, including the first application of extrapolated audit results to determine audit settlements without the use of a FFS Adjuster, when it selected certain of Humana's MA contracts for PY 2018 RADV audits. CMS has also initiated RADV audits for payment years 2019, 2020, and 2021, selecting certain of Humana's MA contracts for all audited years, announced it will follow a rolling schedule to initiate audits for subsequent payment years, and stated that the decision on whether it will apply extrapolation to the ongoing audits will be made at a later date. The Final RADV Rule, including the lack of a FFS Adjuster, and any related regulatory, industry or company reactions, the expansion of CMS's auditing efforts to include all eligible MA contracts, the acceleration of RADV audits for PY 2018 through PY 2024, other changes CMS may make to the RADV audit methodology for these years, and combination of these expanded auditing efforts with the application of the Final RADV Rule, could each have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
On September 1, 2023, Humana Inc. and Humana Benefit Plan of Texas, Inc. filed suit against the United States Department of Health and Human Services, and Xavier Becerra in his official capacity as Secretary, in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division seeking a determination that the Final RADV Rule violates the APA and should be set aside. On September 25, 2025, the Court granted our motion for summary judgment and vacated the Final RADV Rule, finding that the Final RADV Rule was procedurally invalid under the APA because it was not a “logical outgrowth” of the Proposed RADV Rule. On November 21, 2025, the government notified the court of its appeal of that decision, which is now pending at the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and captioned Humana v Kennedy. There can be no assurances as to the final disposition of this lawsuit. We remain committed to working alongside CMS to promote the integrity of the MA program as well as affordability and cost certainty for our members. It is critical that MA plans are paid accurately and that payment model principles, including the application of a FFS Adjuster, are in accordance with the requirements of the Social Security Act, which, if not implemented correctly could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In addition, as part of our internal compliance efforts, we routinely perform ordinary course reviews of our internal business processes related to, among other things, our risk coding and data submissions in connection with the risk adjustment model. These reviews may also result in the identification of errors and the submission of corrections to CMS that may, either individually or in the aggregate, be material. As such, the result of these reviews may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Our state-based Medicaid business, which accounted for approximately 8 % of our total premiums and services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily serving members enrolled in Medicaid, and in certain circumstances members who qualify for both Medicaid and Medicare, under contracts with various states.
The loss of any of the contracts above or significant changes in these programs as a result of legislative or regulatory action, including reductions in premium payments to us, regulatory restrictions on profitability, or increases in member benefits or member eligibility criteria without corresponding increases in premium payments to us, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
Legal Proceedings and Certain Regulatory Matters
From time to time, the Civil Division of the United States Department of Justice has provided us with information requests, concerning our Medicare Part C risk adjustment practices. These requests relate to our oversight and submission of risk adjustment data generated by providers, as well as to our business and compliance practices related to risk adjustment data generated by our providers and by our Medicare Advantage Organizations. We continue to cooperate with the Department of Justice on these requests.
On September 1, 2023, Humana Inc. and Humana Benefit Plan of Texas, Inc. filed suit against the United States Department of Health and Human Services, and Xavier Becerra in his official capacity as Secretary, in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division seeking a determination that the Final RADV Rule violates the APA and should be set aside. On September 25, 2025, the Court granted our motion for summary judgment and vacated the Final RADV Rule, finding that the Final RADV Rule was procedurally invalid under the APA because it was not a "logical outgrowth" of the Proposed RADV Rule.

There can be no assurances as to the final disposition of this lawsuit. See “Government Contracts” in this footnote to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding this matter.
In June 2024, a putative stockholder class action was filed against Humana Inc. and certain of our current and former executive officers under the federal securities laws in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The case, now captioned In re Humana Inc. Securities Litigation, alleges that between July 2022 and October 2024, Humana made false or misleading statements in its periodic SEC filings and statements to the financial markets about our financial performance and the medical costs, Star Ratings and certain distribution relationships with respect to our Medicare Advantage business. The action seeks, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and attorneys' fees. Between July 2024 and March 2025, parallel stockholder derivative actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, now consolidated and captioned In re Humana Shareholder Derivative Action, and Nicolaou v. Broussard, was filed in Commonwealth of Kentucky, Jefferson Circuit Court, alleging that the same claimed acts and omissions underlying the federal securities law case, as well as certain Medicare Advantage distribution relationships, also constitute a breach of fiduciary duty by certain of our current and former directors and executive officers. The actions seek, among other things, reforms to the Company's corporate governance and internal procedures, unspecified damages and attorneys' fees. We will vigorously defend against the allegations in all cases.
On October 18, 2024, Humana Inc., along with co-plaintiff Americans for Beneficiary Choice, filed suit against the United States Department of Health and Human Services and its Secretary, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and its Administrator, in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, seeking a determination that they violated the Administrative Procedure Act in administering the Medicare Advantage and Part D Star Ratings program. On October 14, 2025, the Court issued a decision rejecting our challenge to the 2025 Star Ratings. On November 25, 2025, we notified the court of our appeal, which is now pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. There is no assurance that we will ultimately prevail in the lawsuit. For additional information on this matter, refer to Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our 2025 Form 10-K, and Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of this Form 10-Q.
On May 1, 2025, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a complaint in partial intervention related to a qui tam lawsuit filed by an individual formerly employed by eHealth, Inc., in the United States District Court for the District

(Unaudited)
of Massachusetts. The intervened lawsuit is captioned United States of America ex. rel. Andrew Shea v. eHealth, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-11777-DJC. The complaint alleges certain civil violations in connection with non-commission payments Humana made to three call center broker partners. The complaint also includes allegations relating to Humana’s marketing of Medicare Advantage plans to Medicare-eligible beneficiaries under the age of 65. The action seeks damages and penalties on behalf of the United States under the federal False Claims Act. The court ordered the qui tam action unsealed following the filing of DOJ’s complaint in partial intervention on May 1, 2025. We take seriously our obligations to comply with applicable regulatory requirements and laws, and will vigorously defend against these allegations.
On December 30, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit denied Humana's petition for permission to appeal a district court order certifying a class in the action of David Elliott v Humana Inc., alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 47U.S.C. §227. The class action will proceed in the United States District Court, Western District of Kentucky. We take seriously our obligations to comply with TCPA and other consumer privacy requirements, and we will vigorously defend against these allegations.
Other Lawsuits and Regulatory Matters
Our current and past business practices are subject to review or other investigations by various state insurance and health care regulatory authorities and other state and federal regulatory authorities. These authorities regularly scrutinize the business practices of health insurance, health care delivery and benefits companies. These reviews focus on numerous facets of our business, including claims payment practices, statutory capital requirements, provider and vendor contracting and oversight, risk adjustment, competitive practices, commission payments, marketing payments, privacy issues, utilization management practices, pharmacy benefits, access to care, sales practices, and provision of care by our healthcare services businesses, among others. Some of these reviews have historically resulted in fines imposed on us and some have required changes to some of our practices. We continue to be subject to these reviews, which could result in additional fines or other sanctions being imposed on us or additional changes in some of our practices.
We also are involved in various other lawsuits that arise, for the most part, in the ordinary course of our business operations, certain of which may be styled as class-action lawsuits. Among other matters, this litigation may include employment matters, claims of medical malpractice, bad faith, personal injury, nonacceptance or termination of providers, anticompetitive practices, improper rate setting, provider contract rate and payment disputes, including disputes over reimbursement rates required by statute, disputes arising from competitive procurement process, general contractual matters, intellectual property matters, and challenges to subrogation practices. Under state guaranty assessment laws, including those related to state cooperative failures in the industry, we may be assessed (up to prescribed limits) for certain obligations to the policyholders and claimants of insolvent insurance companies that write the same line or lines of business as we do.
As a government contractor, we may also be subject to false claims litigation, such as qui tam lawsuits brought by individuals who seek to sue on behalf of the government, alleging that the government contractor submitted false claims to the government or related overpayments from the government, including, among other allegations, those resulting from coding and review practices under the Medicare risk adjustment model. Qui tam litigation is filed under seal to allow the government an opportunity to investigate and to decide if it wishes to intervene and assume control of the litigation. If the government does not intervene, the individual may continue to prosecute the action on his or her own, on behalf of the government. We also are subject to other allegations of nonperformance of contractual obligations to providers, members, and others, including failure to properly pay claims, improper policy terminations, challenges to our implementation of the Medicare Part D prescription drug program and other litigation.
A limited number of the claims asserted against us are subject to insurance coverage. Personal injury claims, claims for extra contractual damages, care delivery malpractice, and claims arising from medical benefit denials are covered by insurance from our wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary and excess carriers, except to the extent that claimants seek punitive damages, which may not be covered by insurance in certain states in which insurance

(Unaudited)
coverage for punitive damages is not permitted. In addition, insurance coverage for all or certain forms of liability has become increasingly costly and may become unavailable or prohibitively expensive in the future.
We record accruals for the contingencies discussed in the sections above to the extent that we conclude it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. No estimate of the possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued, if any, can be made at this time regarding the matters specifically described above because of the inherently unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, which also may be exacerbated by various factors, including: (i) the damages sought in the proceedings are unsubstantiated or indeterminate; (ii) discovery is not complete; (iii) the proceeding is in its early stages; (iv) the matters present legal uncertainties; (v) there are significant facts in dispute; (vi) there are a large number of parties (including where it is uncertain how liability, if any, will be shared among multiple defendants); or (vii) there is a wide range of potential outcomes.
The outcome of any current or future litigation or governmental or internal investigations, including the matters described above, cannot be accurately predicted, nor can we predict any resulting judgments, penalties, fines or other sanctions that may be imposed at the discretion of federal or state regulatory authorities or as a result of actions by third parties. Nevertheless, it is reasonably possible that any such outcome of litigation, judgments, penalties, fines or other sanctions could be substantial, and the outcome of these matters may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows, and may also affect our reputation.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our two reportable segments, Insurance and CenterWell, are based on a combination of the type of health plan customer and adjacent businesses centered on well-being solutions for our health plans and other customers, as described below. Our Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Decision Maker, utilizes these segment groupings and results of each segment, measured by income (loss) from operations, to assess performance and allocate resources primarily during our annual budget process and periodic forecast updates.
The Insurance segment consists of Medicare benefits, marketed to individuals or directly via group Medicare accounts, as well as our stand-alone prescription drug plans, or PDP, and contracts with various states to provide Medicaid, and Long-Term Support Services benefits, which we refer to collectively as our state-based contracts. This segment also includes products consisting of specialty health insurance benefits marketed to individuals and employer groups, including dental, vision, and other supplemental health benefits. In addition, our Insurance segment includes our Military services business as well as the operations of our PBM business.
The CenterWell segment includes our pharmacy solutions, primary care, and home solutions operations. Services offered by this segment are designed to enhance the overall healthcare experience. These services may lead to lower utilization associated with improved member health and/or lower drug costs.
Our CenterWell intersegment revenues includes the operations of CenterWell Pharmacy (our mail-order pharmacy business), CenterWell Specialty Pharmacy, and retail pharmacies jointly located within CenterWell primary care clinics. In addition, our CenterWell intersegment revenues include revenues earned by certain owned providers and our home solutions business, including fee-for-service and certain value-based arrangements with our health plans.
We present our condensed consolidated results of operations from the perspective of the health plans. As a result, the cost of providing benefits to our members, whether provided via a third party provider or internally through a stand-alone subsidiary, is classified as benefits expense and excludes the portion of the cost for which the health plans do not bear responsibility, including member co-share amounts and government subsidies of $4.4 billion and $3.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 these amounts were $8.7 billion and $6.5 billion, respectively. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense associated with certain businesses delivering benefits to our members, primarily associated with our primary care and pharmacy solutions operations, are included with benefits expense. The amount of this expense was $29 million and $32 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $60 million and $65 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Other than those described previously, the accounting policies of each segment are the same. For additional information regarding our accounting policies refer to Note 2 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2025 Form 10-K. Transactions between reportable segments primarily consist of sales of products and services rendered by our CenterWell segment, primarily pharmacy solutions, primary care, and home solutions, to our Insurance segment customers. Intersegment sales and expenses are recorded primarily at fair value and eliminated in consolidation. Members served by our segments often use the same provider networks, enabling us in some instances to obtain more favorable contract terms with providers. Our segments also share indirect costs and assets. As a result, the profitability of each segment is interdependent. We allocate most operating expenses to our segments. Assets and certain corporate income and expenses are not allocated to the segments, including the portion of investment income not supporting segment operations, interest expense on corporate debt, and certain other corporate expenses. These items are managed at a corporate level. These corporate amounts are reported separately from our reportable segments and are included with intersegment eliminations in the tables presenting segment results below.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Humana Inc. in this document present the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and should be read in conjunction with the following discussion and analysis.

Executive Overview
General
Humana Inc., headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, is a leading U.S. healthcare company. Through our Humana insurance services and our CenterWell healthcare services, we make it easier for the millions of people we serve to achieve their best health – delivering the care and service they need, when they need it. These efforts are leading to a better quality of life for people with Medicare and Medicaid, families, individuals, military service personnel, and communities at large.
Our industry relies on two key statistics to measure performance. The benefit ratio, which is computed by taking
total benefits expense as a percentage of premiums revenue, represents a statistic used to measure underwriting profitability. The operating cost ratio, which is computed by taking total operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of total revenues less investment income, represents a statistic used to measure administrative spending efficiency.
MaxHealth Acquisition
On February 13, 2026, we acquired MaxHealth, a leading primary care platform focused on providing high-quality, integrated care to adults and senior patients throughout Florida, for cash consideration of approximately $908 million, net of cash acquired. This resulted in a preliminary purchase price allocation to goodwill of approximately $800 million, other intangible assets of $71 million, and net tangible assets acquired of $59 million. The other intangible assets, which primarily consist of member relationships and trade names, have an estimated weighted average useful life of 6.9 years. The purchase price allocation is preliminary, subject to completion of valuation analysis, including for example, refining assumptions used to calculate the fair value of intangible assets.
Value Creation Initiatives and Impairment Charges
In order to create capacity to fund growth in our businesses, we committed to drive additional value for the enterprise through cost saving and productivity initiatives. In addition, in response to sustained macroeconomic, regulatory and competitive pressures impacting the industry, we initiated a substantial multi-year transformation program designed to re-align our cost structure, operating model and technology footprint with evolving market conditions.
As a result of these initiatives, we recorded charges of $56 million and $154 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $29 million and $53 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, within operating costs in the consolidated statements of income. The charges primarily relate
35
to severance and associate exit costs, asset impairments, and external consulting expenses incurred to execute the program. We expect to incur additional charges over the course of the program.
In addition, we recorded impairment charges related to minority-interest investments of $21 million within net investment income in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $32 million, relating to indefinite-lived intangible assets, within operating costs in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Business Segments
Our two reportable segments, Insurance and CenterWell, are based on a combination of the type of health plan customer and adjacent businesses centered on well-being solutions for our health plans and other customers, as described below. Our Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Decision Maker, utilizes these segment groupings and results of each segment, measured by income (loss) from operations, to assess performance and allocate resources primarily during our annual budget process and periodic forecast updates.
The Insurance segment consists of Medicare benefits, marketed to individuals or directly via group Medicare accounts, as well as our stand-alone prescription drug plans, or PDP, and contracts with various states to provide Medicaid, and Long-Term Support Services benefits, which we refer to collectively as our state-based contracts. This segment also includes products consisting of specialty health insurance benefits marketed to individuals and employer groups, including dental, vision, and other supplemental health benefits. In addition, our Insurance segment includes our Military services business as well as the operations of our PBM business.
The CenterWell segment includes our pharmacy solutions, primary care, and home solutions operations. Services offered by this segment are designed to enhance the overall healthcare experience. These services may lead to lower utilization associated with improved member health and/or lower drug costs.
Transactions between reportable segments primarily consist of sales of products and services rendered by our CenterWell segment, primarily pharmacy solutions, primary care, and home solutions, to our Insurance segment customers. Intersegment sales and expenses are recorded primarily at fair value and eliminated in consolidation. Members served by our segments often use the same provider networks, enabling us in some instances to obtain more favorable contract terms with providers. Our segments also share indirect costs and assets. As a result, the profitability of each segment is interdependent. We allocate most operating expenses to our segments. Assets and certain corporate income and expenses are not allocated to the segments, including the portion of investment income not supporting segment operations, interest expense on corporate debt, and certain other corporate expenses. These items are managed at a corporate level. These corporate amounts are reported separately from our reportable segments and are included with intersegment eliminations.
Seasonality
Our Medicare benefit costs rise as members pay their contractual portion of claims responsibility, progress through their annual deductible and maximum out-of-pocket expenses, as well as incurring higher episodic cost of care resulting in a higher benefit ratio throughout the year.
Our quarterly Insurance segment earnings and operating cash flows are impacted by the Medicare Part D benefit design and changes in the composition of our stand-alone PDP membership. The Medicare Part D benefit design results in coverage that varies as a member’s cumulative out-of-pocket costs pass through successive stages of a member’s plan period, which begins annually on January 1 for renewals. The benefit design changes associated with the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, or IRA, reduced out-of-pocket costs for beneficiaries, resulting in greater cost sharing and a leveling of net prescription costs throughout the year. In addition, the number of low income senior members as well as year-over-year changes in the mix of membership in our stand-alone PDP products affects the quarterly benefit ratio pattern.
The Insurance segment also experiences seasonality in the operating cost ratio as a result of costs incurred in the
second half of the year associated with the Medicare marketing season.

2026 Highlights
•Our strategy is to offer our members affordable health care combined with a positive consumer experience in growing markets. At the core of this strategy is our integrated care delivery model, which unites quality care, high member engagement, and sophisticated data analytics. Our approach to primary, physician-directed care for our members aims to provide quality care that is consistent, integrated, cost-effective, and member-focused, provided by both employed physicians and physicians with network contract arrangements. The model is designed to improve health outcomes and affordability for individuals and for the health system as a whole, while offering our members a simple, seamless healthcare experience. We believe this strategy is positioning us for long-term growth in both membership and earnings. We offer providers a continuum of opportunities to increase the integration of care and offer assistance to providers in transitioning from a fee-for-service to a value-based arrangement. These include performance bonuses, shared savings and shared risk relationships. At June 30, 2026, approximately 4,118,700 members, or 64%, of our individual Medicare Advantage members were in value-based relationships under our integrated care delivery model, as compared to 3,542,300 members, or 68%, at June 30, 2025.
•Net income attributable to Humana was $694 million, or $5.73 per diluted common share, and $545 million, or $4.51 per diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Net income attributable to Humana was $1.9 billion, or $15.55 per diluted common share, and $1.8 billion, or $14.81 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These comparisons were impacted by put/call valuation adjustments associated with non-consolidating minority interest investments, impairment charges and charges associated with value creation initiatives. The impact of these adjustments to our consolidated income before income taxes and equity in net losses and diluted earnings per common share was as follows for the 2026 and 2025 quarter and period:

Regulatory Environment
We are and will continue to be regularly subject to new laws and regulations, changes to existing laws and regulations, and judicial determinations that impact the interpretation and applicability of those laws and regulations. The Health Care Reform Law, the Families First Act, the CARES Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act, and related regulations, are examples of laws which have enacted significant reforms to various aspects of the U.S. health insurance industry, including, among others, mandated coverage requirements, mandated benefits and guarantee issuance associated with insurance products, rebates to policyholders based on minimum benefit ratios, adjustments to Medicare Advantage premiums, the establishment of federally facilitated or state-based exchanges coupled with programs designed to spread risk among insurers, and the introduction of plan designs based on set actuarial values, and changes to the Part D prescription drug benefit design.
It is reasonably possible that these laws and regulations, as well as other current or future legislative, judicial or regulatory changes including restrictions on our ability to manage our provider network, manage and sell our products, or otherwise operate our business, or restrictions on profitability, including reviews by regulatory bodies that may compare our Medicare Advantage profitability to our non-Medicare Advantage business profitability, or compare the profitability of various products within our Medicare Advantage business, and require that they remain within certain ranges of each other, increases in member benefits or changes to member eligibility criteria without corresponding increases in premium payments to us, further restrictions on ownership structure, service arrangements, or fee payments between intercompany or vertically-integrated assets, increases in regulation of our prescription drug benefit businesses, reductions in reimbursement rates, or changes to the Part D prescription drug benefit design (and uncertainty arising from the implementation of these changes) in the aggregate may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations (including restricting revenue, enrollment and premium growth in certain products and market segments, restricting our ability to expand into new markets, increasing our medical and operating costs, further lowering our Medicare payment rates and increasing our expenses associated with assessments); our financial position (including our ability to maintain the value of our goodwill); and our cash flows.
We intend for the discussion of our financial condition and results of operations that follows to assist in the understanding of our financial statements and related changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, including the primary factors that accounted for those changes. Transactions between reportable segments primarily consist of sales of products and services rendered by our CenterWell segment, primarily pharmacy solutions, primary care, and home solutions, to our Insurance segment customers and are described in Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Premiums Revenue
Consolidated premiums revenue increased $8.1 billion, or 26.4%, from $30.7 billion in the 2025 quarter to $38.8 billion in the 2026 quarter and increased $15.3 billion, or 25.0%, from $61.2 billion in the 2025 period to $76.5 billion in the 2026 period primarily reflecting membership growth across the Medicare businesses in 2026, higher per member Medicare Advantage (MA) and stand-alone PDP premiums largely driven by an increase in MA benchmark funding from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the increased Part D direct subsidy as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). These factors were partially offset by the previously disclosed Bonus Year (BY) 2026 Star Ratings headwind.
39
Services Revenue
Consolidated services revenue increased $0.4 billion, or 27.1%, from $1.4 billion in the 2025 quarter to $1.8 billion in the 2026 quarter and increased $0.7 billion, or 26.4%, from $2.7 billion in the 2025 period to $3.5 billion in the 2026 period primarily reflecting the increased payor-agnostic client base across the CenterWell platform partially offset by the final year of the phase-in of the v28 risk model revision.
Net Investment Income
Net investment income decreased $19 million, or 7.0%, from $272 million in the 2025 quarter to $253 million in the 2026 quarter and decreased $21 million, or 3.9%, from $536 million in the 2025 period to $515 million in the 2026 period.
Benefit Expense
Consolidated benefits expense increased $7.8 billion, or 28.3%, from $27.6 billion in the 2025 quarter to $35.4 billion in the 2026 quarter and increased $15.0 billion, or 27.7%, from $54.1 billion in the 2025 period to $69.1 billion in the 2026 period. The consolidated benefit ratio increased 140 basis points from 89.7% for the 2025 quarter to 91.1% for the 2026 quarter and increased 180 basis points from 88.4% for the 2025 period to 90.2% for the 2026 period primarily reflecting the BY 2026 Star Ratings revenue headwind, the effect of the individual MA membership growth during the most recent Annual Election Period (AEP) and Open Enrollment Period (OEP) as the new members, on average, run at a higher benefit ratio as compared to retained members (excluding the impact of the BY 2026 Star Ratings headwind) and the anticipated lower favorable prior-period medical claims reserve development in 2026. These factors were partially offset by the 2026 individual MA pricing, inclusive of the MA funding environment (excluding the BY 2026 Star Ratings headwind) combined with our ongoing clinical excellence efforts, more than offsetting the assumption of claims trend (with largely stable benefits year-over-year), and the benefit of our group MA recontracting efforts for the 2026 plan year.
Consolidated benefits expense included $53 million of favorable prior-period medical claims reserve development in the 2026 quarter and $161 million of favorable prior-period medical claims development in the 2025 quarter. Consolidated benefits expense included $442 million of favorable prior-period medical claims reserve development in the 2026 period and $638 million of favorable prior-period medical claims reserve development in the 2025 period. This development does not directly correspond to our operating results as a portion is attributable to provider risk-sharing arrangements, which are accounted for separately based on contractual terms.
Operating Costs
Our segments incur both direct and shared indirect operating costs. We allocate the indirect costs shared by the segments primarily as a function of revenues. As a result, the profitability of each segment is interdependent.
Consolidated operating costs increased $0.4 billion, or 12.2%, from $3.5 billion in the 2025 quarter to $4.0 billion in the 2026 quarter and increased $1.1 billion, or 15.5%, from $6.9 billion in the 2025 period to $8.0 billion in the 2026 period. The consolidated operating cost ratio decreased 120 basis points from 11.0% for the 2025 quarter to 9.8% for the 2026 quarter and decreased 80 basis points from 10.8% for the 2025 period to 10.0% for the 2026 period primarily reflecting operating leverage associated with increased revenues from membership growth across the Medicare businesses in 2026 combined with an improved MA benchmark funding rate and increased Part D direct subsidy resulting from the IRA, as well as the progress on our previously discussed tactical cost cutting and transformation initiatives combined with the beneficial impact of our prior value creation initiatives that have driven administrative cost efficiencies. These factors were partially offset by the impact of the previously disclosed BY 2026 Star Ratings headwind, higher charges associated with our value creation initiatives and a higher CenterWell operating cost ratio during the 2026 period.
40
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $19 million, or 10.7%, from $178 million in the 2025 quarter to $159 million in the 2026 quarter and decreased $39 million, or 10.8%, from $361 million in the 2025 period to $322 million in the 2026 period primarily due to decreased capital spending.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $40 million, or 25.5%, from $157 million in the 2025 quarter to $197 million in the 2026 quarter and increased $73 million, or 23.0%, from $317 million in the 2025 period to $390 million in the 2026 period primarily due to financing costs, including liquidity and capital management measures for 2026, and higher average debt balances.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 25.6% and 24.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively, and 25.2% and 24.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The 2026 quarter and period effective income tax rate increase is primarily related to state taxes.

Income from operations
Insurance segment income from operations increased $54 million, or 7.0%, from $766 million in the 2025 quarter to $820 million in the 2026 quarter and decreased $0.09 billion, or 3.6%, from $2.34 billion in the 2025 period to $2.25 billion in the 2026 period primarily due to the same factors impacting the Insurance segment's benefit and operating cost ratios as more fully described below.
Enrollment
Individual Medicare Advantage membership increased 1,224,400 members, or 23.4%, from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2026 reflecting net membership gains during the most recent AEP and OEP. Individual Medicare Advantage membership includes 959,900 D-SNP members as of June 30, 2026, a net increase of 173,900 D-SNP members, or 22.1%, from 786,000 D-SNP members as of June 30, 2025.
Group Medicare Advantage membership increased 157,200 members, or 27.6%, from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2026 reflecting net membership additions from the 2026 selling season.
Medicare stand-alone PDP membership increased 1,519,300 members, or 62.6%, from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2026 reflecting net membership additions from group MA recontracting efforts and the 2026 selling season.
State-based contracts and other membership increased 20,300 members, or 1.3%, from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2026 primarily reflecting net membership additions in state-based contracts offset by shifts in other membership.
Specialty membership increased 198,700 members, or 4%, from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2026 primarily reflecting growth in group dental and vision products.
Premiums Revenue
Insurance segment premiums revenue increased $8.1 billion, or 26.4%, from $30.7 billion in the 2025 quarter to $38.8 billion in the 2026 quarter and increased $15.3 billion, or 25.0%, from $61.2 billion in the 2025 period to $76.5 billion in the 2026 period primarily reflecting membership growth across the Medicare businesses in 2026, higher per member MA and stand-alone PDP premiums largely driven by an increase in MA benchmark funding from CMS and the increased Part D direct subsidy as a result of the IRA. These factors were partially offset by the BY 2026 Star Ratings headwind.
Services Revenue
Insurance segment services revenue decreased $7 million, or 3.4%, from $206 million in the 2025 quarter to $199 million in the 2026 quarter and decreased $12 million, or 2.6%, from $458 million in the 2025 period to $446 million in the 2026 period.
Benefits Expense
The Insurance segment benefit ratio increased 130 basis points from 89.9% for the 2025 quarter to 91.2% for the 2026 quarter and increased 160 basis points from 88.7% for the 2025 period to 90.3% for the 2026 period primarily reflecting the BY 2026 Star Ratings revenue headwind, the effect of the individual MA membership growth during the most recent AEP and OEP as the new members, on average, run at a higher benefit ratio as compared to retained members (excluding the impact of the BY 2026 Star Ratings headwind) and the anticipated lower favorable prior-period medical claims reserve development in 2026. These factors were partially offset by the 2026 individual MA pricing, inclusive of the MA funding environment (excluding the BY 2026 Star Ratings headwind) combined with our ongoing clinical excellence efforts, more than offsetting the assumption of claims trend (with largely stable benefits year-over-year), and the benefit of our group Medicare Advantage recontracting efforts for the 2026 plan year.
43
Operating Costs
The Insurance segment operating cost ratio decreased 120 basis points from 8.3% for the 2025 quarter to 7.1% for the 2026 quarter and decreased 110 basis points from 8.3% for the 2025 period to 7.2% for the 2026 period primarily reflecting operating leverage associated with increased revenues from membership growth across the Medicare businesses in 2026 combined with an improved MA benchmark funding rate and increased Part D direct subsidy resulting from the IRA, as well as the progress on our previously discussed tactical cost cutting and transformation initiatives combined with the beneficial impact of prior value creation initiatives that have driven administrative cost efficiencies. These factors were partially offset by the impact of the previously disclosed BY 2026 Star Ratings headwind.

Income from operations
CenterWell income from operations increased $122 million, or 35.5%, from $344 million in the 2025 quarter to $466 million in the 2026 quarter and increased $19 million, or 2.6%, from $736 million in the 2025 period to $755 million in the 2026 period primarily due to the same factors impacting the CenterWell segment's revenue and operating cost ratio as more fully described below.
44
Services Revenue
CenterWell external services revenue increased $0.4 billion, or 32.4%, from $1.2 billion in the 2025 quarter to $1.6 billion in the 2026 quarter and increased $0.7 billion, or 32.2%, from $2.3 billion in the 2025 period to $3.0 billion in the 2026 period primarily reflecting the continued expansion of our payor-agnostic client base, primarily associated with the primary care business as a result of recent acquisitions, partially offset by the final year of the phase-in of the v28 risk model revision.
Intersegment Revenue
CenterWell intersegment revenues increased $0.9 billion, or 19.9%, from $4.3 billion in the 2025 quarter to $5.2 billion in the 2026 quarter and increased $1.5 billion, or 18.3%, from $8.4 billion in the 2025 period to $9.9 billion in the 2026 period primarily due to higher revenues associated with growth in each of the CenterWell business lines resulting from increased Medicare membership in 2026.
Operating Costs
The CenterWell segment operating cost ratio decreased 30 basis points from 92.7% for the 2025 quarter to 92.4% for the 2026 quarter primarily due to the continued maturation of the v28 mitigation activities within the primary care business and the progress on our tactical cost cutting and transformation initiatives combined with the beneficial impact of prior value creation initiatives that have driven administrative cost efficiencies. These factors were partially offset by the impact of the final year of the phase-in of the v28 risk model revision and the uptick of volume within CenterWell Specialty Pharmacy, which carries a higher operating cost ratio than the traditional pharmacy business. The CenterWell segment operating cost ratio increased 140 basis points from 92.0% for the 2025 period to 93.4% for the 2026 period primarily reflecting the net unfavorable impact of the items affecting the quarterly comparison along with the anticipated headwind in the first quarter of 2026 associated with a primary care acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2025, as well as transaction and integration costs associated with the recent acquisition of MaxHealth in the first quarter of 2026.
Liquidity
Historically, our primary sources of cash have included receipts of premiums, services revenue, and investment and other income, as well as proceeds from the sale or maturity of our investment securities, and borrowings. Our primary uses of cash historically have included disbursements for claims payments, operating costs, interest on borrowings, taxes, purchases of investment securities, acquisitions, capital expenditures, repayments on borrowings, dividends, and share repurchases. As premiums generally are collected in advance of claim payments by a period of up to several months, our business normally should produce positive cash flows during periods of increasing premiums and enrollment. Conversely, cash flows would be negatively impacted during periods of decreasing premiums and enrollment. From period to period, our cash flows may also be affected by the timing of working capital items including premiums receivable, benefits payable, and other receivables and payables. Our cash flows are impacted by the timing of payments to and receipts from CMS associated with Medicare Part D subsidies for which we do not assume risk. The use of cash flows may be limited by regulatory requirements of state departments of insurance (or comparable state regulators) which require, among other items, that our regulated subsidiaries maintain minimum levels of capital and seek approval before paying dividends from the subsidiaries to the parent. Our use of cash flows derived from our non-insurance subsidiaries, such as in our CenterWell segment, is generally not restricted by state departments of insurance (or comparable state regulators).

Cash and cash equivalents increased to approximately $6.9 billion at June 30, 2026 from $4.2 billion at December 31, 2025. The change in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is summarized as follows:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operations of $3.2 billion in the 2026 period increased $1.6 billion from cash flows provided by operations of $1.6 billion in the 2025 period. The increase in our operating cash flows was the result of favorable working capital activity, primarily associated with an increase in the IBNR balance and the favorable timing impact of a $1.05 billion Medicaid state-directed payment that settled shortly after June 30, 2026, combined with a modest increase in earnings.
The most significant drivers of changes in our working capital are typically the timing of payments of benefits expense and receipts for premiums. Benefits expense includes claim payments, capitation payments, pharmacy costs net of rebates, allocations of certain centralized expenses and various other costs incurred to provide health insurance coverage to members, as well as estimates of future payments to hospitals and others for medical care and other supplemental benefits provided on or prior to the balance sheet date. For additional information regarding our benefits payable and benefits expense recognition, refer to Note 2 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2025 Form 10-K.

The change in Medicare receivables for the 2026 period and 2025 period reflects the typical pattern caused by the timing of accruals and related collections associated with the CMS risk-adjustment model. Significant collections occur with the mid-year and final settlements with CMS in the second and third quarter.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities
During the 2026 period, we acquired MaxHealth for cash consideration of approximately $908 million, net of cash acquired. We acquired and disposed other businesses that individually or in the aggregate did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial conditions or cash flows during the 2026 and 2025 periods.
Our ongoing capital expenditures primarily relate to our information technology initiatives, support of services in our primary care operations including medical and administrative facility improvements necessary for activities such as the provision of care to members, claims processing, billing and collections, wellness solutions, care coordination, regulatory compliance and customer service. Total net capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, were $253 million in the 2026 period and $209 million in the 2025 period.
Net purchases of investment securities were $1.7 billion in the 2026 period and net proceeds of investment securities were $871 million in the 2025 period.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Receipts from CMS associated with Medicare Part D claim subsidies for which we do not assume risk were higher than claim payments by $479 million in the 2026 period and claim payments were higher than receipts from CMS associated with Medicare Part D claim subsidies for which we do not assume risk by $482 million in the 2025 period.
Under our administrative services only TRICARE contracts, reimbursements from the federal government exceeded health care costs payments for which we do not assume risk by $68 million in the 2026 period and health care costs payments for which we do not assume risk exceeded reimbursements from the federal government by $97 million in the 2025 period.
In March 2026, we issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% fixed-to-fixed rate junior subordinated notes (Subordinated Notes) due September 15, 2056, which resulted in approximately $990 million of net proceeds after deducting underwriters' discounts and offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including repayment of borrowings under our commercial paper program.
In March 2026, we entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Repurchase Plan. For the period ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased $44 million of the principal amount of the 1.350% senior notes maturing in February 2027 for approximately $43 million cash, $37 million of the principal amount of the 3.950% senior notes maturing in March 2027 for approximately $37 million cash, $61 million of the principal amount of the 3.700% senior notes maturing in March 2029 for approximately $59 million cash, $50 million of the principal amount of the 3.125% senior notes maturing in August 2029 for approximately $48 million cash and $108 million of the principal amount of the 2.150% senior notes maturing in February 2032 for approximately $94 million cash.
In March 2025, we issued $750 million of 5.550% unsecured senior notes due May 1, 2035, $500 million of 6.000% unsecured senior notes due May 1, 2055, and an additional $250 million of our existing 5.375% unsecured senior notes due April 15, 2031. Our net proceeds, reduced for the underwriters' discounts and commissions paid, were $1.481 billion. We used the net proceeds of these offerings to repay outstanding amounts from the 4.500% Senior Notes due on April 1, 2025. The remaining net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of our existing indebtedness, including borrowings under our commercial paper program.
In May 2025, we entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Repurchase Plan to repurchase a portion of our $750 million aggregate principal amount of 1.350% senior notes maturing in February 2027 and a portion of our $600 million aggregate principal amount of 3.950% senior notes maturing in March 2027 during the period beginning on May 1, 2025 and ending on August 29, 2025. For the period ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased $200 million principal amount of these senior notes for approximately $194 million cash.
Under our securities lending program, we loan certain investment securities for short periods of time in exchange for collateral. Net proceeds from the securities lending program were $64 million and $48 million in the 2026 period and 2025 period, respectively. Under the uncommitted receivables purchase facility certain
47
pharmaceutical rebate receivables may be sold on a non-recourse basis to a financial institution. In the 2026 period there were no net repayments from the uncommitted receivables purchase facility. In the 2025 period net repayments from the uncommitted receivables purchase facility were $123 million.
Net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper were $1.3 billion in the 2026 period and maximum principal amount outstanding at any one time during the 2026 period was $2.6 billion. Net repayments from the issuance of commercial paper were $5 million in the 2025 period.
We repurchased common shares for $103 million and $100 million in the 2026 period and 2025 period, respectively, under share repurchase plans authorized by the Board of Directors. We also acquired common shares in connection with employee stock plans for $5 million and $9 million in the 2026 period and 2025 period, respectively.
We paid dividends to stockholders of $214 million and $214 million during the 2026 period and 2025 period, respectively.

Stock Repurchases
For additional information regarding stock repurchases, refer to Note 10 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.

Acquisitions and Divestitures
For additional information regarding acquisitions and divestitures, refer to Note 3 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.
Liquidity Requirements
We believe our cash balances, investment securities, operating cash flows, and funds available under our credit agreement and our commercial paper program or from other public or private financing sources, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating and regulatory requirements, acquisitions, future expansion opportunities, and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months, as well as to refinance or repay debt, and repurchase shares.
Adverse changes in our credit rating may increase the rate of interest we pay and may impact the amount of credit available to us in the future. Our investment-grade credit rating at June 30, 2026 was BBB according to Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, or S&P, and Baa2 according to Moody’s Investors Services, Inc., or Moody’s. A downgrade by S&P to BB+ or by Moody’s to Ba1 triggers an interest rate increase of 25 basis points with respect to $250 million of our senior notes. Successive one notch downgrades increase the interest rate an additional 25 basis points, or annual interest expense by $1 million, up to a maximum 100 basis points, or annual interest expense by $3 million.
In addition, we operate as a holding company in a highly regulated industry. Humana Inc., our parent company, is dependent upon dividends and administrative expense reimbursements from our subsidiaries, most of which are
48
subject to regulatory restrictions. We continue to maintain significant levels of aggregate excess statutory capital and surplus in our state-regulated operating subsidiaries. Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments at the parent company were $1.6 billion at June 30, 2026 compared to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2025. This increase primarily reflects the timing of an approximately $1.05 billion Medicaid state-directed payment that settled shortly after June 30, 2026, net proceeds from the issuance of junior subordinated notes and commercial paper, partially offset by cash paid for acquisitions, capital contributions to certain subsidiaries, repayments of senior notes, cash dividends to shareholders, capital expenditures, and common stock repurchases. Our use of operating cash derived from our non-insurance subsidiaries, such as our CenterWell segment, is generally not restricted by departments of insurance (or comparable state regulators).
During 2025 and 2026, we entered into agreements with unrelated insurers that do not qualify for reinsurance accounting under GAAP, and are accounted for using deposit accounting. These contracts minimize the risk of catastrophic loss, reducing capital and surplus requirements. Total deposit assets and liabilities related to these reinsurance agreements that do not qualify for reinsurance accounting under GAAP are not material at June 30, 2026.
Regulatory Requirements
Certain of our subsidiaries operate in states that regulate the payment of dividends, loans, or other cash transfers to Humana Inc., our parent company, and require minimum levels of equity as well as limit investments to approved securities. The amount of dividends that may be paid to Humana Inc. by these subsidiaries, without prior approval by state regulatory authorities, or ordinary dividends, is limited based on the entity’s level of statutory income and statutory capital and surplus. If the dividend, together with other dividends paid within the preceding twelve months, exceeds a specified statutory limit or is paid from sources other than earned surplus, it is generally considered an extraordinary dividend requiring prior regulatory approval. In most states, prior notification is provided before paying a dividend even if approval is not required.
Although minimum required levels of equity are largely based on premium volume, product mix, and the quality of assets held, minimum requirements vary significantly at the state level. Based on the most recently filed statutory financial statements as of March 31, 2026, our state regulated subsidiaries had aggregate statutory capital and surplus of approximately $15.5 billion, which exceeded aggregate minimum regulatory requirements of $8.2 billion. The amount of ordinary dividends paid to our parent company was approximately $0.6 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $0.3 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The amount, timing and mix of ordinary and extraordinary dividend payments will vary due to state regulatory requirements, the level of excess statutory capital and surplus and expected future surplus requirements related to, for example, premium volume and product mix.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our earnings and financial position are exposed to financial market risk, including those resulting from changes in interest rates.
Interest rate risk also represents a market risk factor affecting our consolidated financial position due to our significant investment portfolio, consisting primarily of fixed maturity securities of investment-grade quality with a weighted average S&P credit rating of AA- at June 30, 2026. Our net unrealized position increased $0.2 billion from a net unrealized loss position of $0.8 billion at December 31, 2025 to a net unrealized loss position of $1.0 billion at June 30, 2026. At June 30, 2026, we had gross unrealized losses of $1.0 billion on our investment portfolio primarily due to an increase in market interest rates since the time the securities were purchased. We did not record any material credit allowances for debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position during the six months ended June 30, 2026. While we believe that these impairments will be recovered and we currently do not have intent to sell such securities, given the current market conditions and the significant judgments involved, there is a continuing risk that future declines in fair value may occur and material realized losses from sales or credit allowances may be recorded in future periods.
Duration is the time-weighted average of the present value of the bond portfolio’s cash flow. Duration is indicative of the relationship between changes in fair value and changes in interest rates, providing a general indication of the sensitivity of the fair values of our fixed maturity securities to changes in interest rates. However, actual fair values may differ significantly from estimates based on duration. The average duration of our investment portfolio, including cash and cash equivalents, was approximately 3.3 years as of June 30, 2026 and 3.6 years as of December 31, 2025. Based on the duration, including cash equivalents, a 1% increase in interest rates would generally decrease the fair value of our securities by approximately $766 million at June 30, 2026.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, our Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, and our Principal Accounting Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Based on our evaluation, our CEO, CFO, and our Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information the Company is required to disclose in its reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, including, without limitation, ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
