BLOOMFIELD, CT, November 5, 2026 – Global health company The Cigna Group (NYSE: CI) today reported third quarter 2026 results, reflecting disciplined execution across its businesses and the strength of its capabilities to address increasingly complex health needs.

“Our vision for The Cigna Group’s next chapter of profitable growth is grounded in delivering greater value and personalized experiences for our customers, with three priorities: driving core growth, leveraging our distinct capabilities, and executing with discipline,” said Brian Evanko, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Cigna Group. “As we put our strategy in action, our strong third quarter results demonstrate how we are building on this momentum by making health care more affordable and personalized, while advancing Accelerate to One to drive productivity, reduce costs, and support sustained long-term earnings growth.”

Shareholders’ net income for third quarter 2026 was $1.4 billion, or $5.47 per share compared to $1.9 billion, or $6.98 per share for third quarter 2025, primarily reflecting the absence of an after-tax gain on sale recognized in third quarter 2025.

The Cigna Group’s adjusted income from operations1 for third quarter 2026 was $2.1 billion, or $7.98 per share, compared with $2.1 billion, or $7.83 per share, for third quarter 2025.

A reconciliation of shareholders’ net income to adjusted income from operations1 is provided on the following page and on Exhibit 1 of this earnings release.
