Full Year Highlights

•As of December 31, 2024, the Company served approximately 5.5 million members.

•Premium revenue was approximately $38.6 billion for the full year 2024, an increase of 19% year over year.

•GAAP net income was $20.42 per diluted share for the full year 2024, an increase of 9% year over year.

•Adjusted net income was $22.65 per diluted share for the full year 2024, an increase of 8% year over year.

February 5, 2025

Medicaid and Medicare Duals contract wins scheduled to commence in 2026 and yields approximately 13% growth over 2024.

•New store embedded earnings is now at $7.75 per diluted share and reflects recent Medicaid and Medicare Duals contract wins.

“I am very pleased our 2024 revenue growth exceeded our long-term targets and we produced consolidated pre-tax margins within our long-term target range,” said Joseph Zubretsky, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our earnings growth profile is solid heading into 2025, and we continue to execute on the long-term growth opportunities within all of our businesses. We remain confident in our ability to achieve our long-term financial targets.”

Premium Revenue

Premium revenue was approximately $38.6 billion for the full year 2024, an increase of 19% year over year. The higher premium revenue reflects new contract wins, acquisitions, and growth in our current footprint, partially offset by the impact of Medicaid redeterminations.

Net Income

GAAP net income for the full year 2024 was $20.42 per diluted share, an increase of 9% year over year. Adjusted net income for the full year 2024 was $22.65 per diluted share, an increase of 8% year over year.

Medical Care Ratio (MCR)

•The consolidated MCR for the full year 2024 was 89.1% and reflects continued focus on managing medical costs and a well-balanced portfolio of businesses.

•The Medicaid MCR for the full year 2024 was 90.3%. Within that result, approximately 30 basis points were due to Medicaid “new store” plans, which have continued to improve in line with the Company’s expectations, and approximately 20 basis points were due to a premium rate reduction retroactive to 2023. Excluding the new stores and retroactive premium adjustment, the Medicaid MCR was approximately 89.8%, which is higher than the Company’s long-term expectations and primarily due to the impact of redetermination-related acuity shifts and higher utilization that occurred during the second half of 2024.

•The Medicare MCR for the full year 2024 was 89.1%, which primarily reflects higher-than-expected utilization, partially offset by benefit adjustments implemented for 2024.

•The Marketplace MCR for the full year 2024 was 75.4%, better than the Company’s expectations, reflecting strong operating performance.

General and Administrative Expense Ratio

The G&A ratio and the adjusted G&A ratio for the full year 2024 were both 6.7%, reflecting disciplined cost management, operating leverage, and several one-time items.

Balance Sheet

Cash and investments at the parent company were $445 million as of December 31, 2024 compared to $742 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company purchased approximately 1.7 million shares for $500 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Days in claims payable at December 31, 2024 was 48.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $644 million, compared to $1,662 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash flow year-over-year was primarily driven by the net impact of timing differences in government receivables and payables, specifically risk corridor settlements and accruals.

2025 Guidance

Premium revenue for the full year is expected to be approximately $42 billion, an increase of approximately 9% from the full year 2024.

The Company expects its full year GAAP earnings per share in 2025 to be at least $22.50 per share and its full year adjusted earnings per share in 2025 to be at least $24.50 per share, representing 8% growth over the full year 2024. This increase primarily reflects growth in the Company’s legacy footprint and continued realization of new store embedded earnings, partially offset by approximately $1.00 per diluted share of expected implementation costs in 2025 for recent Medicaid and Medicare Duals contract wins, and yields approximately 13% growth over 2024.

Guidance metrics are summarized below:

Full Year 2025 Guidance
Premium Revenue $42.0B
Total Revenue $44.0B
GAAP Net Income $1,251M
Adjusted Net Income $1,362M
GAAP EPS – Diluted >$22.50

CHANGE IN MEDICAL CLAIMS AND BENEFITS PAYABLE

(Dollars in millions)

The Company’s claims liabilities include additional reserves to account for moderately adverse conditions based on historical experience and other factors including, but not limited to, variations in claims payment patterns, changes in utilization and cost trends, known outbreaks of disease, and large claims. The Company’s reserving methodology is consistently applied across all periods presented. The amounts displayed for “Components of medical care costs related to: Prior year” represent the amounts by which the original estimates of claims and benefits payable at the beginning of the year were more than the actual liabilities based on information (principally the payment of claims) developed since those liabilities were first reported. The following table presents the components of the change in medical claims and benefits payable for the periods indicated:

RECONCILIATION OF UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(In millions, except per diluted share amounts)

The Company believes that certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures are useful supplemental measures to investors in comparing the Company’s performance to the performance of other public companies in the health care industry. The non-GAAP financial measures are also used internally to enable management to assess the Company’s performance consistently over time. These non-GAAP financial measures, presented below, should be considered as supplements to, and not as substitutes for or superior to, GAAP measures.

Adjustments represent additions and deductions to GAAP net income as indicated in the table below, which include the non-cash impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, and the impact of certain expenses and other items that management believes are not indicative of longer-term business trends and operations.

Adjusted G&A Ratio represents the GAAP G&A ratio, recognizing adjustments.

Adjusted net income represents GAAP net income recognizing the adjustments, net of tax. The Company believes that adjusted net income is helpful to investors in assessing the Company’s financial performance.

Adjusted net income per diluted share represents adjusted net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

Adjusted after-tax margin represents adjusted net income, divided by total revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company includes in this release the financial measure, “new store embedded earnings,” which is a non-GAAP measure. The term is defined as the incremental diluted earnings per share impact that we expect to achieve between 2026 and 2028 related to newly awarded but not yet commenced state Medicaid contracts, and recently closed and announced acquisitions. The incremental impact reflects the expected full-year earnings for the newly-awarded California, Iowa, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, and Georgia Medicaid contracts, the newly-awarded Idaho, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Ohio Medicare Duals contracts, and the California Medicare Health Plans and ConnectiCare acquisitions, not yet included in the 2025 full-year guidance issued by the Company. This measure excludes amortization of intangible assets and non-recurring costs associated with acquisitions, including various transaction and integration costs. The Company and management believe this measure is useful to investors in assessing the Company’s expected performance related to new Medicaid contracts and acquisitions, and is used internally to enable management to assess the Company’s performance consistently over time. New store embedded earnings should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, GAAP measures. Management is unable to reconcile this measure to the growth in GAAP earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort due to the unknown impact from the amortization of intangible assets related to recently announced acquisitions, which cannot be determined until purchase accounting valuations are completed. Non-recurring costs associated with the recently announced acquisitions are estimated at approximately $20 million.
