The Cigna Group reported strong first-quarter 2025 results, with adjusted income from operations reaching $1.8 billion, or $6.74 per share, surpassing analyst expectations. Total revenues for the quarter increased 14% year-over-year to $65.5 billion, reflecting growth and focused execution across its diversified portfolio.
Building on this performance, Cigna raised its full-year 2025 adjusted earnings per share guidance to at least $29.60, an increase from its initial outlook of at least $29.50. This upward revision is primarily attributed to the incremental earnings contribution from the Medicare businesses due to the later timing of their divestiture closing in Q1 2025.
Evernorth Health Services demonstrated robust growth, with adjusted revenues increasing 16% and pre-tax adjusted income rising 5%. Cigna Healthcare's adjusted revenues grew 9%, though pre-tax adjusted income decreased 4% due to a higher medical care ratio of 82.2%, impacted by the Medicare divestiture timing. The company also repurchased 8.2 million shares for approximately $2.6 billion year-to-date through May 1, 2025.
