NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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, 2024 included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on February 20, 2025. We refer to this Form 10-K as the “2024 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 2024 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.
Value Creation Initiatives
In order to create capacity to fund growth and investment in our Medicare Advantage business and further expansion of our healthcare services capabilities, we have committed to driving additional value for the enterprise through cost saving, productivity initiatives, and value acceleration from previous investments. As a result of these initiatives, we recorded charges of $24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $29 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 within operating costs in the condensed consolidated statements of income. These charges primarily relate to asset impairments in the 2024 and 2025 quarters, as well as severance charges in connection with workforce optimization and external consulting spend for these initiatives in the 2025 quarter.
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 are recorded based upon established billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments, and are 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 2024 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 March 31, 2025, accounts receivable related to services were $365 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 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 at March 31, 2025.
Humana Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Unaudited)
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 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.
2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting Pronouncements Effective in Future Periods
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09 — Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new guidance requires significant additional disclosures about income taxes, primarily focused on the disclosure of income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation table. The new guidance requires prospective application (with retrospective application permitted). The new guidance will be effective for us beginning with our annual 2025 year-end financial statements, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact on our income tax footnote disclosures.
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.
There are no other recently issued accounting standards 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
Acquisition related activities during the first quarter of 2025 were not material. During the first quarter of 2024, we acquired various health and wellness related businesses which, 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 the first quarter of 2024 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 March 31, 2025. Our remaining debt securities below investment-grade were primarily rated B+, the higher end of the below investment-grade rating scale. 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 1,530 positions out of a total of approximately 2,190 positions at March 31, 2025. All issuers of debt securities we own that were trading at an unrealized loss at March 31, 2025 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 March 31, 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 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 adjustment to the carrying value of the senior notes was a decrease of approximately $26 million at March 31, 2025. The swap liability, included within other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, was approximately $58 million at March 31, 2025. The swap asset, included within other long-term assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, was approximately $32 million at March 31, 2025. The swap liability, included within other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, was approximately $129 million at December 31, 2024. 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 months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Financial Liabilities
Our debt is recorded at carrying value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value of our senior notes debt outstanding, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $13.3 billion at March 31, 2025 and $11.7 billion at December 31, 2024. The fair value of our senior notes debt was $12.8 billion at March 31, 2025 and $11.2 billion at December 31, 2024. The fair value of our senior notes 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. We had no outstanding commercial paper borrowings at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
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 $1,043 million and $7 million, respectively, at March 31, 2025. The put and call options fair values, derived from the Monte Carlo simulation, were $883 million and $10 million, respectively, at December 31, 2024. 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.
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 flows, weighted average cost of capital and long term growth rate. The table below presents the assumptions used for each reporting period.

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 2024. Acquisition related activities during the first quarter of 2025 were not material. 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 asset or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during 2025 and 2024 other than the assets and liabilities assumed in these acquisitions and any subsequent impairments. We recorded a $200 million charge relating to our indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2024.

6. MEDICARE PART D
We cover prescription drug benefits in accordance with Medicare Part D under multiple contracts with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets include the following amounts associated with Medicare Part D at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. CMS subsidies/discounts include the reinsurance and low-income cost subsidies funded by CMS for which we assume no risk as well as brand name prescription drug discounts for Part D plan participants funded by CMS and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Effective January 1, 2025, the Medicare Part D coverage gap was eliminated as mandated by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The standard Part D benefit now comprises three phases: the deductible phase, the initial coverage phase and the catastrophic coverage phase. Beneficiaries' out-of-pocket expenses for covered prescription drugs are capped at $2,000, after which they incur no additional cost sharing for the remainder of the year. In addition, the Coverage Gap Discount Program was replaced by the Manufacturer Discount Program, requiring pharmaceutical manufacturers to provide discounts on brand name drugs during both the initial coverage and catastrophic phases. These changes are anticipated to reduce out-of-pocket costs for beneficiaries and impact plan liabilities accordingly.
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets include $455 million of net assets and $530 million of net assets associated with subsidy programs at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets also include $167 million of net liabilities and $126 million of net assets associated with cost sharing programs at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Balances, end of period | | $ | 11,451 | | | $ | 11,729 | |
The total estimate of benefits payable for claims incurred but not reported, or IBNR, is included within the incurred claims amounts. At March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, benefits payable included IBNR of approximately $7.2 billion and $7.3 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 2024 Form 10-K.

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 three months ended March 31, 2025, we did not repurchase shares in open market transactions under the February 2024 share repurchase authorization. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased 1.8 million shares in open market transactions for $702 million. These shares were repurchased at an average price of $388.78 under the February 2023 and 2024 share repurchase authorizations.
Our remaining repurchase authorization was $2.9 billion as of April 29, 2025.
In connection with employee stock plans, we acquired 0.03 million common shares for $9 million and 0.04 million common shares for $15 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

11. INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate was 24.6% and 25.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in the effective income tax rate is primarily due to reduced state tax expense.

Senior Notes
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 will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of our existing indebtedness, including borrowings under our commercial paper program.
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 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 $26 million at March 31, 2025.

Revolving Credit Agreements
In June 2023, we entered into an amended and restated 5-year, $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement (replacing the 5-year, $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement entered in June 2021). In May 2024, we entered into an amendment to increase commitments $0.142 billion resulting in a $2.642 billion borrowing capacity.
In May 2024, we entered into a 364-day $2.1 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement (replacing the 364-day $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement entered in June 2023, which expired in accordance with its terms).
Under the credit agreements, 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 92.0 to 130.0 basis points under the 5-year revolving credit agreement and 94.0 to 135.0 basis points under the 364-day revolving credit agreement. As of March 31, 2025, our SOFR was 114.0 basis points under the 5-year revolving credit agreement and 116.0 basis points under the 364-day revolving credit agreement. 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 under the 5-year revolving credit agreement and 6.0 to 15.0 basis points under the 364-day revolving credit agreement. As of March 31, 2025, our facility fee was 11.0 basis points under the 5-year revolving credit agreement and 9.0 basis points under the 364-day revolving agreement.
The terms of our revolving credit agreements include standard provisions related to conditions of borrowing which could limit our ability to borrow additional funds. In addition, our credit agreements contain 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 42.8% as measured in accordance with the revolving credit agreements as of March 31, 2025. Upon our agreement with one or more financial institutions, we may expand the aggregate commitments under the revolving credit agreements by up to $500 million, to a maximum of $5.2 billion, across the 5-year and 364-day revolving credit agreements.
At March 31, 2025, we had no borrowings and approximately $18 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit agreements. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2025, we had $2.624 billion of remaining borrowing capacity under the 5-year revolving credit agreement and $2.1 billion of remaining borrowing capacity under the 364-day revolving credit agreement (which excludes the uncommitted $500 million 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 agreements.

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 March 31, 2025 we had no outstanding short-term FHLB borrowings.
13. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES
Government Contracts
Our Medicare products, which accounted for approximately 83% of our total premiums and services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, 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 2025, and all of our product offerings filed with CMS for 2025 have been approved.
CMS uses a risk-adjustment model which 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
Humana Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Unaudited)
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 “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 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 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 2023 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, to CMS audits conducted for PY 2018 and subsequent years when it selected certain of Humana's MA contracts for PY 2018 RADV Audits. The Final RADV Rule, including the lack of a FFS Adjuster, and any related regulatory, industry or company reactions, could 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. 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 10% of our total premiums and services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 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, 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, 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. There is no assurance that we will prevail in the 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 and Star Ratings in 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 captioned Silva v. Broussard, Spikes v. Broussard, Noble v. Broussard and Combs v. Broussard, respectively, were filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, 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 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, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Xavier Becerra in his official capacity as Secretary, and Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, in her official capacity as 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. We seek to set aside and vacate Humana’s 2025 Star Ratings and remand the matter to CMS for recalculation and to declare that CMS’s policy refusing to disclose all relevant data and information is arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. There is no assurance that we will prevail in the lawsuit. For additional information on this matter, refer to Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of this Form 10-Q.
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
Humana Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Unaudited)
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 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 contract with CMS to administer the Limited Income Newly Eligible Transition, or LI-NET, prescription drug plan program and contracts with various states to provide Medicaid, dual eligible demonstration, 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, primarily our T-5 East Region contract, as well as the operations of our PBM business.
The CenterWell segment includes our pharmacy, 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 Senior 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 $3.2 billion and $4.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense associated with certain businesses delivering benefits to our members, primarily associated with our primary care and pharmacy operations, are included with benefits expense. The amount of this expense was $33 million and $32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 2024 Form 10-K. Transactions between reportable segments primarily consist of sales of products and services rendered by our CenterWell segment, primarily pharmacy, 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.

Executive Overview
General
Humana Inc., headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, is committed to putting health first – for our teammates, our customers, and our company. Through our Humana insurance services, and our CenterWell health care 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, 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 revenue less investment income, represents a statistic used to measure administrative spending efficiency.
Value Creation Initiatives
In order to create capacity to fund growth and investment in our Medicare Advantage business and further expansion of our healthcare services capabilities, we have committed to driving additional value for the enterprise through cost saving, productivity initiatives, and value acceleration from previous investments. As a result of these initiatives, we recorded charges of $24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $29 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 within operating costs in the condensed consolidated statements of income. These charges primarily relate to asset impairments in the 2024 and 2025 quarters, as well as severance charges in connection with workforce optimization and external consulting spend for these initiatives in the 2025 quarter.
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 contract with CMS to administer the Limited Income Newly Eligible Transition, or LI-NET, prescription drug plan program and contracts with various states to provide Medicaid, dual eligible demonstration,
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, primarily our T-5 East Region contract, as well as the operations of our PBM business.
The CenterWell segment includes our pharmacy, 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, 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 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 prescription drug plan, or 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. Effective January 1, 2025, the Medicare Part D coverage gap was eliminated as mandated by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, or IRA. The standard Part D benefit now comprises three phases: the deductible phase, the initial coverage phase and the catastrophic coverage phase. Beneficiaries' out-of-pocket expenses for covered prescription drugs are capped at $2,000, after which they incur no additional cost sharing for the remainder of the year. In addition, the Coverage Gap Discount Program was replaced by the Manufacturer Discount Program, requiring pharmaceutical manufacturers to provide discounts on brand name drugs during both the initial coverage and catastrophic phases. These changes are anticipated to reduce out-of-pocket costs for beneficiaries and impact plan liabilities, accordingly. These benefit design changes will result in us sharing a greater portion of the responsibility and result in prescription costs that are more level throughout the year as compared to the historical seasonal decline seen prior to the IRA. 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.
2025 Highlights
•Our strategy offers 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 March 31, 2025, approximately 3,501,700 members, or
67%, of our individual Medicare Advantage members were in value-based relationships under our integrated care delivery model, as compared to 3,837,300 members, or 69%, at March 31, 2024.
•Net income attributable to Humana was $1.2 billion, or $10.30 per diluted common share, and $0.7 billion, or $6.11 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These comparisons were significantly impacted by put/call valuation adjustments associated with non-consolidating minority interest investments 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 2025 and 2024 quarter:

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 service arrangements and fee payments between intercompany or vertically-integrated assets, increases in regulation of our prescription drug benefit businesses, 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, 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 $2.3 billion, or 8.0%, from $28.3 billion in the 2024 quarter to $30.5 billion in the 2025 quarter primarily due to higher per member Medicare premiums, driven largely by an increased direct subsidy due to the IRA, and higher per member state-based contracts premiums, as well as membership growth in the stand-alone PDP and state-based contracts businesses. These factors were partially offset by the membership decline within the individual Medicare Advantage business, inclusive of the decision to exit certain unprofitable plans and counties.
Services Revenue
Consolidated services revenue increased $272 million, or 25.6%, from $1.1 billion in the 2024 quarter to $1.3 billion in the 2025 quarter primarily due to higher revenues associated with growth in the primary care business, partially offset by the impact of the v28 risk model revision.
Investment Income
Investment income decreased $24 million, or 8.3%, from $288 million in the 2024 quarter to $264 million in the 2025 quarter primarily due to lower interest income on debt securities.
Benefit Expense
Consolidated benefits expense increased $1.4 billion, or 5.6%, from $25.1 billion in the 2024 quarter to $26.5 billion in the 2025 quarter. The consolidated benefit ratio decreased 190 basis points from 88.9% for the 2024 quarter to 87.0% for the 2025 quarter primarily due to individual Medicare Advantage pricing inclusive of plan exits, benefit design changes and favorable workday impacts in the 2025 quarter more than offsetting claims trend and the funding environment, as well as the change in Medicare Part D seasonality due to the IRA. These factors were partially offset by a shift in line of business mix resulting from reductions in individual Medicare Advantage membership, combined with growth in the stand-alone PDP and state-based contracts businesses, which carry a higher benefit ratio. In addition, the decrease was offset by a delayed flu season that led to a more acute period in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter and lower favorable prior-period medical claims reserve development.
Consolidated benefits expense included $477 million of favorable prior-period medical claims reserve development in the 2025 quarter and $535 million of favorable prior-period medical claims development in the 2024 quarter. Prior-period medical claims reserve development decreased the consolidated benefit ratio by 160 basis points in the 2025 quarter and decreased the consolidated benefit ratio by 190 basis points in the 2024 quarter.
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 $338 million, or 11.1%, from $3.0 billion in the 2024 quarter to $3.4 billion in the 2025 quarter. The consolidated operating cost ratio increased 20 basis points from 10.4% for the 2024 quarter to 10.6% for the 2025 quarter primarily due to business mix changes, including within the CenterWell segment which runs a significantly higher operating cost ratio than the Insurance segment, combined with the operating leverage impact of the loss of individual Medicare Advantage membership. This factor was partially offset by administrative cost efficiencies resulting from the value creation initiatives and operating leverage associated with increased revenues from the impact of the IRA as previously described.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $26 million, or 12.4%, from $209 million in the 2024 quarter to $183 million in the 2025 quarter primarily due to decreased capital spending.
Interest Expense
Interest expense remained relatively unchanged from the 2024 quarter to the 2025 quarter.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 24.6% and 25.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in the effective income tax rate is primarily due to reduced state tax expense.

Income from operations
Insurance segment income from operations increased $0.7 billion, or 75.3%, from $0.9 billion in the 2024 quarter to $1.6 billion in the 2025 quarter primarily due to the same factors impacting the Insurance segment's lower benefit and operating cost ratios as more fully described below.
Enrollment
Individual Medicare Advantage membership decreased 333,100 members, or 6.0%, from March 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025, inclusive of the decision to exit certain unprofitable plans and counties. Individual Medicare Advantage membership includes 799,100 D-SNP members as of March 31, 2025, a net decrease of 123,100 D-SNP members, or 13.3%, from 922,200 D-SNP members as of March 31, 2024.
Group Medicare Advantage membership increased 21,100 members, or 3.8%, from March 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025, consistent with expectations as we maintain pricing discipline in a competitive market.
Medicare stand-alone PDP membership increased 86,100 members, or 3.7%, from March 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025, reflecting shifting competitive dynamics.
State-based contracts and other membership increased 346,700 members, or 27.5%, from March 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025, reflecting additional membership related to the Oklahoma and Indiana contracts implemented in April 2024 and July 2024, respectively, along with the allocation of additional membership in Kentucky.
Specialty membership remained largely unchanged from March 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025.
Premiums Revenue
Insurance segment premiums revenue increased $2.3 billion, or 8.0%, from $28.3 billion in the 2024 quarter to $30.5 billion in the 2025 quarter primarily due to higher per member Medicare premiums, driven largely by an increased direct subsidy due to the IRA, and higher per member state-based contracts premiums, as well as membership growth in the stand-alone PDP and state-based contracts businesses. These factors were partially offset by the membership decline within the individual Medicare Advantage business, inclusive of the decision to exit certain unprofitable plans and counties.
Insurance segment services revenue decreased $23 million, or 8.4%, from $275 million in the 2024 quarter to $252 million in the 2025 quarter.
Benefits Expense
The Insurance segment benefit ratio decreased 190 basis points from 89.3% for the 2024 quarter to 87.4% for the 2025 quarter primarily due to individual Medicare Advantage pricing inclusive of plan exits, benefit design changes and favorable workday impacts in the 2025 quarter more than offsetting claims trend and the funding environment, as well as the change in Medicare Part D seasonality due to the IRA. These factors were partially offset by a shift in line of business mix resulting from reductions in individual Medicare Advantage membership, combined with growth in the stand-alone PDP and state-based contracts businesses, which carry a higher benefit ratio. In addition, the decrease was offset by a delayed flu season that led to a more acute period in the 2025 quarter compared to the 2024 quarter and lower favorable prior-period medical claims reserve development.
Operating Costs
The Insurance segment operating cost ratio decreased 10 basis points from 8.3% for the 2024 quarter to 8.2% for the 2025 quarter primarily due to administrative cost efficiencies resulting from the value creation initiatives and operating leverage associated with increased revenues from the impact of the IRA as previously described. These factors were partially offset by the operating leverage impact of the loss of individual Medicare Advantage membership.

Income from operations
CenterWell income from operations increased $0.1 billion, or 39.0%, from $0.3 billion in the 2024 quarter to $0.4 billion in the 2025 quarter primarily due to the CenterWell segment's lower operating cost ratio as more fully described below.
Services Revenue
CenterWell services revenue increased $0.3 billion, or 37.5%, from $0.8 billion in the 2024 quarter to $1.1 billion in the 2025 quarter primarily due to higher revenues associated with growth in the primary care business, partially offset by the impact of the v28 risk model revision.
Intersegment Revenue
CenterWell intersegment revenues remained relatively unchanged from the 2024 quarter to the 2025 quarter.
Operating Costs
The CenterWell segment operating cost ratio decreased 190 basis points from 93.0% for the 2024 quarter to 91.1% for the 2025 quarter primarily due to administrative cost efficiencies resulting from the value creation initiatives, as well as more favorable operating trends in the primary care business in the 2025 quarter as a result of stabilizing medical cost trends and maturation of the v28 mitigation activities, partially offset by the continued phase-in of v28.
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).
For additional information regarding our liquidity risk, refer to Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of this Form 10-Q.
Cash and cash equivalents increased to approximately $4.3 billion at March 31, 2025 from $2.2 billion at December 31, 2024. The change in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is summarized as follows:

Net cash provided by financing activities | 1,384 | | | 1,207 | |
Increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 2,029 | | | $ | 1,216 | |
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operations of $0.3 billion in the 2025 quarter decreased $0.1 billion from cash flows provided by operations of $0.4 billion in the 2024 quarter. The decrease in operating cash flows primarily reflected the unfavorable impact of working capital items, partially offset by higher earnings in the 2025 quarter.
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 2023 Form 10-K.

The change in Medicare receivables for the 2025 quarter reflects higher per member Medicare premiums, driven largely by an increased direct subsidy due to the IRA. The change in Medicare receivables for the 2024 quarter reflects individual Medicare Advantage membership growth. In addition, both periods further reflect 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
Acquisition related activities during the first quarter of 2025 were not material. During the 2024 quarter, we acquired various businesses for approximately $14 million, net of cash and cash equivalents received, respectively.
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 $95 million in the 2025 quarter and $177 million in the 2024 quarter.
Net proceeds of investment securities were $409 million in the 2025 quarter and net purchases of investment securities were $223 million in the 2024 quarter.
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 $75 million and $569 million in the 2025 and 2024 quarters, respectively.
Under our administrative services only TRICARE contracts, health care costs payments for which we do not assume risk exceeded reimbursements from the federal government by $110 million and $70 million in the 2025 and 2024 quarters, respectively.
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 will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of our existing indebtedness, including borrowings under our commercial paper program.
In March 2024, we issued $1.3 billion of 5.375% unsecured senior notes due April 15, 2031 and $1.0 billion of 5.750% unsecured senior notes due April 15, 2054. Our net proceeds, reduced for the underwriters' discounts and
commissions paid, were $2.2 billion. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which included the repayment of existing indebtedness, including borrowings under our commercial paper program.
In 2024, we entered into a securities lending program where we loan certain investment securities for short periods of time in exchange for collateral. We also entered into an uncommitted receivables purchase facility under which certain pharmaceutical rebate receivables may be sold on a non-recourse basis to a financial institution. In the 2025 quarter, net proceeds from the securities lending program were $175 million and net repayments from the uncommitted receivables purchase facility were $68 million.
Net repayments from the issuance of commercial paper were $4 million and $644 million in the 2025 quarter and 2024 quarter, respectively. The maximum principal amount outstanding at any one time during the 2025 quarter was $1.2 billion.
We repurchased common shares for $702 million in the 2024 quarter, under share repurchase plans authorized by the Board of Directors. We also acquired common shares in connection with employee stock plans for $9 million and $15 million in the 2025 quarter and 2024 quarter, respectively.
We paid dividends to stockholders of $108 million and $109 million during the 2025 quarter and 2024 quarter, respectively.
Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity
Dividends
For additional information regarding our dividends to stockholders, refer to Note 10 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.
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.
Debt
For additional information regarding debt, including our senior notes, term loans, revolving credit agreements, commercial paper program and other short-term borrowings, refer to Note 12 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.
Acquisitions
For additional information regarding acquisitions, 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 March 31, 2025 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 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 $1.2 billion at March 31, 2025 compared to $562 million at December 31, 2024. This increase primarily reflects net proceeds from the issuance of senior notes and commercial paper, proceeds from maturities of investment securities, partially offset by repayment of borrowings under the commercial paper program, capital contributions to certain subsidiaries, net working capital changes, 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).
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 December 31, 2024, our state regulated subsidiaries had aggregate statutory capital and surplus of approximately $13.2 billion, which exceeded aggregate minimum regulatory requirements of $11.4 billion. The amount of ordinary dividends that may be paid to our parent company in 2025 is approximately $1.1 billion in the aggregate. Actual dividends paid to our parent company were approximately $1.5 billion in 2024. 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 March 31, 2025. Our net unrealized position decreased $256 million from a net unrealized loss position of $1.4 billion at December 31, 2024 to a net unrealized loss position of $1.1 billion at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, we had gross unrealized losses of $1.2 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 three months ended March 31, 2025. 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 3.4 years as of March 31, 2025 and 3.8 years as of December 31, 2024. Based on the duration, including cash equivalents, a 1% increase in interest rates would generally decrease the fair value of our securities by approximately $765 million at March 31, 2025.
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 March 31, 2025.
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 March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
