Operating Gain for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, include items that are excluded from adjusted shareholders' net income. See "GAAP Reconciliation."

Operating revenue was $43.2 billion in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.2 billion compared to the prior year quarter. This decrease was driven by attrition in Medicaid membership, partially offset by higher premium yields to reflect medical cost trend, and growth in CarelonRx product revenue related to members served.

The benefit expense ratio was 86.3 percent, an improvement of 10 basis points, driven primarily by premium rate adjustments to cover medical cost trend in our Health Benefits business and disciplined commercial underwriting. Days in Claims Payable was 45.3 days as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of 3.7 days from March 31, 2024, including a 1.7 day decline related to industry-wide delays earlier this year in claims receipts, and a decrease of 1.2 days compared to June 30, 2023, principally on improved operational efficiency.

The operating expense ratio was 11.7 percent, an increase of 60 basis points driven by targeted investment and integration costs. Excluding adjustment items, the operating expense ratio was 11.5 percent, an increase of 50 basis points.

Elevance Health expects GAAP net income per diluted share to be at least $34.05 in 2024, and adjusted diluted net income per share to be at least $37.20.

Cash Flow & Balance Sheet

Operating cash flow was $2.4 billion year-to-date, a decrease of $6.0 billion year-over-year, including $4.3 billion of timing-related items and $1.3 billion of net cash outflows associated with medical claims payable, principally due to lower Medicaid membership. As of June 30, 2024, cash and investments at the parent company totaled approximately $2.4 billion.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased 0.9 million shares of its common stock for $462 million, at a weighted average price of $524.55, and paid a quarterly dividend of $1.63 per share, representing a distribution of cash totaling $378 million. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $3.2 billion of Board approved share repurchase authorization remaining.

Health Benefits is comprised of Individual, Employer Group risk-based, Employer Group fee-based, BlueCard®, Medicare, Medicaid, and Federal Health Products & Services businesses.

Operating Gain for the three months ended June 30, 2023, has been restated for the realignment of Carelon Global Solutions. See footnote 2 to the Reportable Segment Highlight Details table.

Health Benefits segment operating revenue was $37.2 billion in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 2 percent compared to the prior year quarter, as Medicaid membership attrition was only partially offset by premium rate increases to reflect medical cost trends, and growth in Individual Affordable Care Act health plan membership.

Operating gain totaled $2.1 billion, which was unchanged compared to the prior year.

Medical membership totaled approximately 45.8 million as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of 2.2 million, or 5 percent compared to the prior year quarter, driven by attrition in our Medicaid business associated with eligibility redeterminations and footprint adjustments, primarily in the first quarter. These losses were partially offset by growth in our Affordable Care Act health plans and commercial Employer Group fee-based membership.

Carelon is comprised of CarelonRx and Carelon Services.

For the Operating Revenue and Operating Gain of CarelonRx and Carelon Services for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, see the Reportable Segment Highlight Details table, which has been restated for the realignment of Carelon Global Solutions. See footnote 2 for details.

Operating revenue for Carelon was $13.3 billion in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $1.2 billion, or 10 percent compared to the prior year quarter. This increase was driven by the launch and growth of risk-based medical benefit and behavioral health management services in Carelon Services, as well as growth in CarelonRx product revenue related to external members served and the acquisition of Paragon Healthcare in the first quarter.

Operating gain for Carelon totaled $0.7 billion, an increase of $52 million, or 8 percent, primarily driven by improved performance on risk-based arrangements in Carelon Services.

Quarterly Dividend

On July 16, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors declared a third quarter 2024 dividend to shareholders of $1.63 per share. The third quarter dividend is payable on September 25, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 10, 2024.

Basis of Presentation

1.

Operating revenue and operating gain/loss are the key measures used by management to evaluate performance in each of its reporting segments, allocate resources, set incentive compensation targets and to forecast future operating performance. Operating gain/loss is calculated as total operating revenue less benefit expense, cost of products sold and operating expense. It does not include net investment income, net gains/losses on financial instruments, interest expense, amortization of other intangible assets, gains/losses on extinguishment of debt or income taxes, as these items are managed in a corporate shared service environment and are not the responsibility of operating segment management. Refer to the GAAP reconciliation tables.

2.

Operating margin is defined as operating gain divided by operating revenue.

GAAP Reconciliation

(Unaudited)

This document references non-GAAP measures, including “Adjusted Shareholders’ Net Income,” “Adjusted Shareholders’ Net Income Per Share,” “Adjusted EPS,” “Adjusted Operating Gain,” “Adjusted Operating Expense” and “Adjusted Operating Expense Ratio,” which are non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are intended to aid investors when comparing Elevance Health’s financial results among periods and are not intended to be alternatives to any measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are available below. In addition to these non-GAAP measures, references are made to the measures “Operating Revenue” and “Operating Gain/Loss,” “Operating Margin” and “Adjusted EPS”. Operating revenue and operating gain/loss are the key measures used by management to evaluate performance in each of its reportable segments, allocate resources, set incentive compensation targets and to forecast future operating performance. Operating gain/loss is calculated as total operating revenue less benefit expense, cost of products sold and operating expense. It does not include net investment income, net gains/losses on financial instruments, interest expense, amortization of other intangible assets and gains/losses on extinguishment of debt or income taxes, as these items are managed in a corporate shared service environment and are not the responsibility of operating segment management. Each of these measures is provided to further aid investors in understanding and analyzing Elevance Health’s operating and financial results. A reconciliation of Operating Revenue to Total Revenue is set forth in the Consolidated Statements of Income herein. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, together with a reconciliation of reportable segments operating gain to income before income tax expense, is provided below. Prior amounts may be grouped differently to conform to the current presentation. Net adjustment items per share may not sum due to rounding. A reconciliation of Operating Revenue to Total Revenue is set forth in the Consolidated Statements of Income herein.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect our views about future events and financial performance and are generally not historical facts. Words such as “expect,” “feel,” “believe,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to: financial projections and estimates and their underlying assumptions; statements regarding plans, objectives and expectations with respect to future operations, products and services; and statements regarding future performance. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof.
