Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies    
Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Cigna Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. These Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”("GAAP").
Amounts recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements necessarily reflect management’smanagement's estimates and assumptions about medical costs, investment and receivable valuations, interest rates and other factors. Significant estimates are discussed throughout these Notes; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. The impact of a change in estimate is generally included in earnings in the period of adjustment.

These interim Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited but include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair statement of financial position and results of operations for the periods reported. The interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in the 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2020("2021 Form 10-K”10-K"). The preparation of interim Consolidated Financial Statements necessarily relies heavily on estimates. This and other factors, including the seasonal nature of portions of the health care and related benefits business, competitive and other market conditions, as well as COVID-19 related impacts, call for caution in estimating full-year results based on interim results of operations.

Note 10 – Reinsurance
The Company’sCompany's insurance subsidiaries enter into agreements with other insurance companies primarily to limit losses from large exposures and to permit recovery of a portion of incurred losses. See Note 8 for additional information on reinsurance.

Following the sale of the Company's Group Disability and Life business (see Note 4 for further information), the liability for unpaid claims and claim expenses relates to products sold in the International Markets segment. Prior to the sale, the majority of the liability related to disability claims with long tailed payouts. See Note 9C to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2020 Form 10-K for additional discussion of these disability reserves that are now sold.
Note 8 – Reinsurance
The Company’s insurance subsidiaries enter into agreements with other insurance companies to assume and cede reinsurance. Reinsurance is ceded primarily in acquisition and disposition transactions when the underwriting company is not being acquired. Reinsurance is also used to limit losses from large exposures and to permit recovery of a portion of direct or assumed losses. Reinsurance does not relieve the originating insurer of liability. Therefore, reinsured liabilities must continue to be reported along with the related reinsurance recoverables. The Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of its credit risk.

A.Reinsurance Recoverables

C.B.Effective Exit of GMDB and GMIB Business
The Company entered into an agreement with Berkshire to effectively exit the GMDB and GMIB business via a reinsurance transaction in 2013. Berkshire reinsured 100% of the Company’sCompany's future claim payments in this business, net of other reinsurance arrangements existing at that time. The reinsurance agreement is subject to an overall limit with approximately $3.2 billion remaining at March 31, 2021.2022.

expenses and other liabilities and Other non-current liabilities. Assumptions used in fair value measurement for these assets and liabilities are discussed in Note 10 of the Company's 20202021 Form 10-K.
GMDB
The GMDB exposure arises under annuities written by ceding companies that guarantee the benefit received at death. The Company’sCompany's exposure arises when the guaranteed minimum death benefit exceeds the fair value of the related mutual fund investments at the time of a contractholder’scontractholder's death.

The following table presents the account value, net amount at risk and the number of contractholders for guarantees assumed by the Company in the event of death. The net amount at risk is the amount that the Company would have to pay if all contractholders died as of the specified date. The Company should be reimbursed in full for these payments unless the Berkshire reinsurance limit is exceeded.

GMIB
The Company reinsured contracts with issuers of GMIB products. The Company’sCompany's exposure represents the excess of a contractually guaranteed amount over the level of variable annuity account values. Payment by the Company depends on the actual account value in the related underlying mutual funds and the level of interest rates when the contractholders elect to receive minimum income payments that can only occur within 30 days of a policy anniversary after the appropriate waiting period. The Company has purchased retrocessional coverage (“("GMIB assets”assets") for these contracts including retrocessional coverage from Berkshire.

GMIB liabilities totaling $595$514 million as of March 31, 20212022 and $729$572 million as of December 31, 20202021 are classified as Level 3 because fair value inputs are largely unobservable. The GMIB liabilities reflect the Company's credit risk, while the reinsurance recoverable reflects the credit risk of the reinsurers. There were 3 reinsurers covering 100% of the GMIB exposures as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 as follows:

Review of declines in fair value. Management reviews impaired debt securities to determine whether a credit loss allowance is needed based on criteria that include:
severity of decline;
financial health and specific prospects of the issuer; and
changes in the regulatory, economic or general market environment of the issuer’sissuer's industry or geographic region.
The table below summarizes debt securities with a decline in fair value from amortized cost for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded, by investment grade and the length of time these securities have been in an unrealized loss position. These debt securities are primarily corporate securities with a decline in fair value that reflects an increase in market yields since purchase. See discussion of Realized Investment Gains and Losses below for further information on the credit loss expense recorded for the Company's investments.

Commercial Mortgage Loans

Mortgage loans held by the Company are made exclusively to commercial borrowers and are diversified by property type, location and borrower. Loans are generally issued at fixed rates of interest and are secured by high quality, primarily completed and substantially leased operating properties. Commercial mortgage loans are classified as either current or long-term investments based on their contractual maturities.
Credit quality
.
The Company regularly evaluates and monitors credit risk beginning withfrom the initial underwriting of a mortgage loan underwriting and continuing throughout the investment holding period. Mortgage origination professionals employ an internal credit quality rating system designed to evaluateFor more information on the relative risk of the transaction at origination that is then updated each year as part of the annual portfolio loan review. The Company evaluatesCompany's accounting policies and monitors credit quality on a consistent and ongoing basis.
Quality ratings are based on our evaluation of a number of key inputs relatedmethodologies regarding these investments, see Note 11 to the loan, including real estate market-related factors such as rental rates and vacancies, and property-specific inputs such as growth rate assumptions and lease rollover statistics. However,Company's 2021 Form 10-K for the two most significant contributors to the credit quality rating are the debt service coverage and loan-to-value ratios. The debt service coverage ratio measures the amount of property cash flow available to meet annual interest and principal payments on debt, with a ratio below 1.0 indicating that there is not enough cash flow to cover the required loan payments. The loan-to-value ratio, commonly expressed as a percentage, compares the amount of the loan to the fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan.year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company’s annual in-depth review of its commercial mortgage loan investments is the primary mechanism for identifying emerging risks in the portfolio. The Company’s investment professionals completed the annual in-depth review in the second quarter of 2020 that included an analysis of each underlying property’s most recent annual financial statements, rent rolls, operating plans, budgets, a physical inspection of the property and other pertinent factors. Based on historical results, current leases, lease expirations and rental conditions in each market, the Company estimated the current year and future stabilized property income and fair value for each loan.
The Company re-evaluates a loan’s credit quality between annual reviews if new property information is received or an event such as delinquency or a borrower’s request for restructure causes management to believe that the Company’s estimate of financial performance, fair value or the risk profile of the underlying property has been impacted.

Other Long-Term Investments
Other long-term investments include investments in unconsolidated entities, including certain limited partnerships and limited liability companies holding real estate, securities or loans. These investments are carried at cost plus the Company's ownership percentage of reporting income or loss, based on the financial statements of the underlying investments that are generally reported at fair value. Income or loss from these investments is reported on a one quarter lag due to the timing of when financial information is received from the general partner or manager of the investments.
Other long-term investments also include investment real estate carried at depreciated cost less any impairment write-downs to fair value when cash flows indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Additionally, statutory and other restricted deposits healthcare related investment partnerships and foreign currency swaps carried at fair value are reported in the table below as Other.

B.Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the characteristics of investment assets (such as duration, yield, currency and liquidity) to meet the varying demands of the related insurance and contract holdercontractholder liabilities. The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge the risk of changes in the net assets of certain of its foreign subsidiaries due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.rates and to hedge the interest rate risk of certain long-term debt. The Company has written and purchased GMIB reinsurance contracts in its run-off reinsurance business that are accounted for as freestanding derivatives as discussed in Note 8.10. Derivatives in the Company’sCompany's separate accounts are excluded from the following discussion because associated gains and losses generally accrue directly to separate account policyholders.
Derivative instruments used by the Company typically include foreign currency swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts. Foreign currency swap contracts periodically exchange cash flows between two currencies for principal and interest. Foreign currency forward contracts require the Company to purchase a foreign currency in exchange for the functional currency of its operating unit at a future date.
The Company manages the credit risk of these derivative instruments by diversifying its portfolio among approved dealers of high credit quality and through routine monitoring of credit risk exposures. Certain of the Company’s over-the-counter derivative instruments require either the Company or the counterparty to post collateral or demand immediate payment depending on the amount of the net liability position of the derivative instrument and predefined financial strength or credit rating thresholds. These collateral posting requirements vary by counterparty. The Company may incur a loss if dealers failed to perform under derivative contracts, however collateral has been posted by dealers to cover substantially all of the net fair values owed at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The fair value of collateral posted by the Company was not significant as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Note 1012 – Fair Value Measurements
The Company carries certain financial instruments at fair value in the financial statements including debt securities, certain equity securities, short-term investments and derivatives. Other financial instruments are measured at fair value only under certain conditions, such as when impaired or when there are observable price changes for equity securities with no readily determinable fair value.
Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants at the balance sheet date. A liability’sliability's fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a market participant, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor.
The Company’sCompany's financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been classified based upon a hierarchy defined by GAAP. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and
23


liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset’sasset's or a liability’sliability's classification is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a financial asset or liability carried at fair value would be classified in Level 3 if unobservable inputs were significant to the instrument’sinstrument's fair value, even though the measurement may be derived using inputs that are both observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3).
The Company estimates fair values using prices from third parties or internal pricing methods. Fair value estimates received from third-party pricing services
For a description of the policies, methods and assumptions that are based on reported trade activity and quoted market prices when available, and other market information that a market participant would useused to estimate fair value. The internal pricing methods are performed by the Company’s investment professionals and generally involve using discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality as well as other qualitative factors. In instances where there is little or no market activity for the same or similar instruments, fair value is estimated using methods, models and assumptions that the Company believes a hypothetical market participant would use to determine a current transaction price. These valuation techniques involve some level of estimation and judgment that becomes significant with increasingly complex instruments or pricing models.
The Company is responsible for determining fair value and for assigning the appropriate level withindetermine the fair value hierarchy based onfor each class of financial instruments, see Note 12 "Fair Value Measurements" to the significance of unobservable inputs. The Company reviews methodologies, processes and controls of third-party pricing servicesCompany's 2021 Form 10-K.
24


and compares prices on a test basis to those obtained from other external pricing sources or internal estimates. The Company performs ongoing analyses of both prices received from third-party pricing services and those developed internally to determine that they represent appropriate estimates of fair value. The controls executed by the Company include evaluating changes in prices and monitoring for potentially stale valuations. The Company also performs sample testing of sales values to confirm the accuracy of prior fair value estimates. The minimal exceptions identified during these processes indicate that adjustments to prices are infrequent and do not significantly impact valuations. An annual due-diligence review of the most significant pricing service is conducted to review their processes, methodologies and controls. This review includes a walk-through of inputs for a sample of securities held across various asset types to validate the documented pricing process.

The Company has $46 million in unfunded commitments in these funds as of March 31, 2021.
(3)Derivative assets above include $6 million that are presented in the Short-term investments category that is disclosed in Note 9. See Note 9 for more information on our Derivative Financial Instruments.
Level 1 Financial Assets
Inputs for instruments classified in Level 1 include unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets accessible at the measurement date. Active markets provide pricing data for trades occurring at least weekly and include exchanges and dealer markets.
Assets in Level 1 include actively-traded U.S. government bonds and exchange-listed equity securities. A relatively small portion of the Company’s investment assets are classified in this category given the narrow definition of Level 1 and the Company’s investment asset strategy to maximize investment returns.
25


Level 2 Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Inputs for instruments classified in Level 2 include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices from those willing to trade in markets that are not active or other inputs that are market observable or can be corroborated by market data for the term of the instrument. Such other inputs include market interest rates and volatilities, spreads and yield curves. An instrument is classified in Level 2 if the Company determines that unobservable inputs are insignificant.
Debt and equity securities. Approximately 94% of the Company’s investments in debt and equity securities are classified in Level 2 including most public and private corporate debt and hybrid equity securities, federal agency and municipal bonds, non-government mortgage-backed securities and preferred stocks. Third-party pricing services and internal methods often use recent trades of securities with similar features and characteristics because many debt securities do not trade daily. Pricing models are used to determine these prices when recent trades are not available. These models calculate fair values by discounting future cash flows at estimated market interest rates. Such market rates are derived by calculating the appropriate spreads over comparable U.S. Treasury securities based on the credit quality, industry and structure of the asset. Typical inputs and assumptions to pricing models include, but are not limited to, a combination of benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, liquidity, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data and industry and economic events. For mortgage-backed securities, inputs and assumptions may also include characteristics of the issuer, collateral attributes, prepayment speeds and credit rating.
Nearly all of these instruments are valued using recent trades or pricing models. Less than 1% of the fair value of investments classified in Level 2 represents foreign bonds that are valued using a single, unadjusted market-observable input derived by averaging multiple broker-dealer quotes, consistent with local market practice.
Short-term investments are carried at fair value that approximates cost. The Company compares market prices for these securities to recorded amounts on a regular basis to validate that current carrying amounts approximate exit prices. The short-term nature of the investments and corroboration of the reported amounts over the holding period support their classification in Level 2.
Derivative assets and liabilities classified in Level 2 represent over-the-counter instruments such as foreign currency forward and swap contracts. Fair values for these instruments are determined using market observable inputs including forward currency and interest rate curves and widely published market observable indices. Credit risk related to the counterparty and the Company is considered when estimating the fair values of these derivatives. However, the Company is largely protected by collateral arrangements with counterparties and determined that 0 adjustments for credit risk were required as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. The nature and use of these derivative financial instruments are described in Note 9.
Level 3 Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Certain inputs for instruments classified in Level 3 are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity) and significant to their resulting fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’sCompany's best estimate of what hypothetical market participants would use to determine a transaction price for the asset or liability at the reporting date.
The Company classifies certain newly-issued, privately-placed, complex or illiquid securities in Level 3. Approximately 5% of debt and equity securities are priced using significant unobservable inputs and classified in this category.
Fair values of mortgage and other asset-backed securities, as well as corporate and government debt securities, are primarily determined using pricing models that incorporate the specific characteristics of each asset and related assumptions including the investment type and structure, credit quality, industry and maturity date in comparison to current market indices, spreads and liquidity of assets with similar characteristics. Inputs and assumptions for pricing may also include characteristics of the issuer, collateral attributes and prepayment speeds for mortgage and other asset-backed securities. Recent trades in the subject security or similar securities are assessed when available, and the Company may also review published research in its evaluation, as well as the issuer’s financial statements.

Quantitative Information about Unobservable Inputs
The following table summarizes the fair value and significant unobservable inputs used in pricing the following debt securities that were developed directly by the Company as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The range and weighted average basis point (“bps”) amounts for liquidity and credit spreads (adjustment to discount rates) reflect the Company’s best estimates of the unobservable adjustments a market participant would make to calculate these fair values.
26


Corporate and government debt securities. The significant unobservable input used to value the followingour corporate and government debt securities and mortgage and other asset-backed securities is an adjustment for liquidity. This adjustment is needed to reflect current market conditions and issuer circumstances when there is limited trading activity for the security.

MortgageThe following table summarizes the fair value and other asset-backed securities. The significant unobservable inputs used to value the following mortgage and other asset-backed securities are liquidity and weighting of credit spreads. An adjustment for liquidity is made as of the measurement date that considers current market conditions, issuer circumstances and complexity of the security structure when there is limited trading activity for the security. An adjustment to weight credit spreads is needed to value a more complex bond structure with multiple underlying collateral and no standard market valuation technique. The weighting of credit spreads is primarily based on the underlying collateral’s characteristics and their proportional cash flows supporting the bond obligations.

Transfers into or out of the Level 3 category occur when unobservable inputs, such as the Company’sCompany's best estimate of what a market participant would use to determine a current transaction price, become more or less significant to the fair value measurement. Market activity typically decreases during periods of economic uncertainty and this decrease in activity reduces the availability of market observable data. As a result, the level of unobservable judgementjudgment that must be applied to the pricing of certain instruments increases and is typically observed through the widening of liquidity and credit spreads. Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 during 20212022 and 20202021 primarily reflected changes in liquidity and credit risk estimates for certain private placement issuers across several sectors. Transfers into and out of Level 3 were higher in 2020 due to significant fluctuations in liquidity and credit spreads experienced as a result of the uncertainty over the economic impacts related to COVID-19. See discussion under Quantitative Information about Unobservable Inputs above for more information.

B.Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value under Certain Conditions
Some financial assets and liabilities are not carried at fair value, each reporting period, butsuch as commercial mortgage loans that are carried at unpaid principal, investment real estate that is carried at depreciated cost and equity securities with no readily determinable fair value when there are no observable market transactions. However, these financial assets and liabilities may be measured using fair value only under certain conditions, such as when investments become impaired including investment real estate and commercial mortgage loans and certain equity securities with no readily determinable fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 0 such impairments. Equity securities with no readily determinableare written down to their fair value, are also measured at fair valueor when there are observable price changes from orderly market transactions withof equity securities that otherwise had no readily determinable fair value.

For the same issuer.three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, no impairments were recognized requiring these assets to be measured at fair value. Realized investment gains and losses from these observable price changes for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and March 31, 20202021 were not material. Carrying values represented less than 1% of total investments as of both March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020.

Note 15 –Organizational Efficiency Plan
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company approved a strategic plan to further leverage its ongoing growth to drive operational efficiency through enhancements to organizational structure and increased use of automation and shared services. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2021, we recognized a charge in Selling, general and administrative expenses of $168 million, pre-tax ($119 million, after-tax) that included $59 million of one-time expenses related to abandonment of leased assets and impairment of property and equipment as well as $109 million of accrued expenses primarily for severance costs related to headcount reductions. We expect most of the severance to be paid by 2023.

This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in state and foreign income taxes, partially offset by the absencefavorable impact of favorable items which reduced the rate in 2020, including settlements of uncertain tax positions and the remeasurement of deferred state income taxes; partially offset by the elimination of the nondeductible health insurer tax in 2021.taxes.
Note 1518 – Contingencies and Other Matters
The Company, through its subsidiaries, is contingently liable for various guarantees provided in the ordinary course of business.
A.Financial Guarantees: Retiree and Life Insurance Benefits
The Company guarantees that separate account assets will be sufficient to pay certain life insurance or retiree benefits. For the majority of these benefits, the sponsoring employers are primarily responsible for ensuring that assets are sufficient to pay these benefits and are required to maintain assets that exceed a certain percentage of benefit obligations. If employers fail to do so, the Company or an affiliate of Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity, the buyer of the retirement benefits business (see Note 8 for further information) has the right to redirect the management of the related assets to provide for benefit payments. As of March 31, 2021,2022, employers maintained assets that generally exceeded the benefit obligations under these arrangements of approximately $445$430 million. An additional liability is established if management believes that the Company will be required to make payments under the guarantees; there were 0no additional liabilities required for these guarantees, net of reinsurance, as of March 31, 2021.2022. Separate account assets supporting these guarantees are classified in Levels 1 and 2 of the GAAP fair value hierarchy.
The Company does not expect that these financial guarantees will have a material effect on the Company’sCompany's consolidated results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
B.Certain Other Guarantees
The Company had indemnification obligations as of March 31, 20212022 in connection with acquisition and disposition transactions. These indemnification obligations are triggered by the breach of representations or covenants provided by the Company, such as representations for the presentation of financial statements, filing of tax returns, compliance with law or identification of outstanding litigation. These obligations are typically subject to various time limitations, defined by the contract or by operation of law, such as
29


statutes of limitation. In some cases, the maximum potential amount due is subject to contractual limitations based on a percentage of the transaction purchase price, while in other cases limitations are not specified or applicable. The Company does not believe that it is
31


possible to determine the maximum potential amount due under these obligations because not all amounts due under these indemnification obligations are subject to limitation. There were 0no liabilities for these indemnification obligations as of March 31, 2021.2022.
C.Guaranty Fund Assessments
The Company operates in a regulatory environment that may require its participation in assessments under state insurance guaranty association laws. The Company’sCompany's exposure to assessments for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants is based on its share of business written in the relevant jurisdictions.
There were no material effects forcharges or credits resulting from existing or new guaranty fund assessments for the three months ended March 31, 2021.2022.
D.Legal and Regulatory Matters
The Company is routinely involved in numerous claims, lawsuits, regulatory inquiries and audits, government investigations, including under the federal False Claims Act and state false claims acts initiated by a government investigating body or by a qui tam relator’s relator's filing of a complaint under court seal and other legal matters arising, for the most part, in the ordinary course of managing a global health serviceservices business. Additionally, the Company has received and is cooperating with subpoenas or similar processes from various governmental agencies requesting information, all arising in the normal course of its business. Disputed tax matters arising from audits by the Internal Revenue Service or other state and foreign jurisdictions, including those resulting in litigation, are accounted for under GAAP guidance for uncertain tax positions.
Pending litigation and legal or regulatory matters that the Company has identified with a reasonably possible material loss and certain other material litigation matters are described below. For those matters that the Company has identified with a reasonably possible material loss, the Company provides disclosure in the aggregate of accruals and range of loss, or a statement that such information cannot be estimated. The Company’sCompany's accruals for the matters discussed below under “Litigation Matters”"Litigation Matters" and “Regulatory Matters”"Regulatory Matters" are not material. Due to numerous uncertain factors presented in these cases, it is not possible to estimate an aggregate range of loss (if any) for these matters at this time. In light of the uncertainties involved in these matters, there is no assurance that their ultimate resolution will not exceed the amounts currently accrued by the Company. An adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Company’sCompany's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity for any particular period. The outcomes of lawsuits are inherently unpredictable and we may be unsuccessful in these ongoing litigation matters or any future claims or litigation.
Litigation Matters
Risk Corridors and CSR Litigation with the Federal Government. As a result of a Supreme Court decision in April 2020, the Company filed suit in early May 2020 against the United States in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims seeking to recover two types of payments the Federal Government owes Cigna under the risk corridors and cost-sharing reduction (“CSR”) programs of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. In aggregate, the complaint sought to recover more than $315 million: $120 million in risk corridors payments and more than $195 million in CSR payments. We received $120 million in payments in September 2020, which resolved our risk corridors claim. Our claim seeking recovery for CSR payments is stayed until either the Federal Circuit’s judgments in the CSR appeals become final and non-appealable or the Supreme Court resolves any petition for writ of certiorari.
Cigna Litigation with Anthem. In February 2017, the Company filed suit against Anthem, Inc. in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Chancery Court”) seeking, among other relief, payment of the $1.85 billion reverse termination fee under the parties’ 2015 merger agreement and damages. Anthem countersued, alleging its own claims for damages. A trial was held during the first quarter of 2019. In August 2020, the Chancery Court issued an opinion finding that, although Cigna breached its contractual obligation to use reasonable best efforts to support the Anthem/Cigna merger, its actions did not cause the merger to fail. The Court denied claims by both parties for damages and further denied Cigna’s claim for the reverse termination fee. The Company filed a Notice of Appeal with the Delaware Supreme Court on October 30, 2020, and sought reversal of the portion of the Chancery Court’s decision denying Cigna the reverse termination fee. Briefing on the appeal was completed on January 29, 2021 and oral arguments were held on April 14, 2021. On May 3, 2021, the Delaware Supreme Court issued an order affirming the decision of the Chancery Court.
Express Scripts Litigation with Anthem. In March 2016, Anthem filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging various breach of contract claims against Express Scripts relating to the parties’parties' rights and obligations under the periodic pricing review section of the pharmacy benefit management agreement between the parties including allegations that Express Scripts failed to negotiate new pricing concessions in good faith, as well as various alleged service issues. Anthem also requested that the court enter declaratory judgment that Express Scripts is required to provide Anthem competitive benchmark pricing, that Anthem can terminate the agreement and that Express Scripts is required to provide Anthem with post-termination services at competitive benchmark pricing for one year following any termination by Anthem. Anthem claims it is entitled to $13 billion in
32


additional pricing concessions over the remaining term of the agreement, as well as $1.8 billion for one year following any contract termination by Anthem and $150 million damages for service issues (“Anthem’s Allegations”("Anthem's Allegations"). On April 19, 2016, in response to Anthem’sAnthem's complaint, Express Scripts filed its answer denying Anthem’sAnthem's Allegations in their entirety and asserting affirmative defenses and counterclaims against Anthem. The court subsequently granted Anthem’sAnthem's motion to dismiss 2 of 6 counts of Express Scripts’Scripts' amended counterclaims. The current scheduling order runs throughExpress Scripts filed its Motion for Summary Judgment on August 27, 2021. Anthem completed filing of its Response to Express Scripts' Motion for Summary Judgment on October 16, 2021. Express Scripts filed its Reply in Support of its Motion for Summary Judgment on November 19, 2021. On March 31, 2022, the completion ofcourt granted summary judgment briefing in October 2021. There is no tentative trial date.

Note 1619 – Segment Information
See Note 1 for a description of our segments. Asegments, including the segment change effective in the fourth quarter of 2021. Prior year segment information has been adjusted to reflect the segment change and a description of our basis forof reporting segment operating results is outlined below. Intersegment revenues primarily reflect pharmacy related transactions between the Evernorth and U.S. MedicalCigna Healthcare segments.
The Company uses “pre-tax"pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations”operations" and “adjusted revenues”"adjusted revenues" as its principal financial measures of segment operating performance because management believes theythese metrics best reflect the underlying results of business operations and permit analysis of trends in underlying revenue, expenses and profitability. We define pre-tax adjusted income from operations as income before income taxes excluding pre-tax income/loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, net realized investment gains and losses,results, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and special items. Cigna’s share of certain realized investment results of its joint ventures reported in the International Markets segment using the equity method of accounting are also excluded. Income or expense amounts excluded from adjusted income from operations because they are not indicative of underlying performance or the responsibility of operating segment management include:
Realized investment gains (losses) including changes in market values of certain financial instruments between balance sheet dates, as well as gains and losses associated with invested asset sales. Cigna's share of certain realized investment results of its joint ventures reported in the International MarketsCigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting are also excluded.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets because these relate to costs incurred for acquisitions.
Special items if any,are matters that management believes are not representative of the underlying results of operations due to thetheir nature or sizesize. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is measured on an after-tax basis for consolidated results and on a pre-tax basis for segment results.
The Company defines adjusted revenues as total revenues excluding the following adjustments: special items and Cigna's share of certain realized investment results of its joint ventures reported in the Cigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting. Special items are matters that management believes are not representative of the underlying results of operations due to their nature or size. We exclude these matters.items from this measure because management believes they are not indicative of past or future underlying performance of the business.
The Company does not report total assets by segment because this is not a metric used to allocate resources or evaluate segment performance.
The term adjusted revenues is defined as total revenues excluding the following adjustments: special items and Cigna's share of certain realized investment results of its joint ventures reported in the International Markets segment using the equity method of accounting.

Management’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“("MD&A”&A") is intended to provide information to assist you in better understanding and evaluating our financial condition as of March 31, 20212022, compared with December 31, 20202021 and our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, compared with the same period last year and is intended to help you understand the ongoing trends in our business. We encourage you to read this MD&A in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 ("2021 Form 10-K"). In particular, we encourage you to refer to the “Risk Factors”"Risk Factors" contained in Part I, Item 1A of the 20202021 Form 10-K.

Unless otherwise indicated, financial information in this MD&A is presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”("GAAP"). See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 20202021 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company's significant accounting policies and see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for updates to those policies resulting from adopting new accounting guidance, if any. The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements necessarily relies heavily on estimates. This and certain other factors call for caution in estimating full-year results based on interim results of operations. In some of our financial tables in this MD&A, we present either percentage changes or “N/M”"N/M" when those changes are so large as to become not meaningful. Changes in percentages are expressed in basis points (“bps”("bps").
In this MD&A, our consolidated measures “adjusted"adjusted income from operations," earnings per share on that same basis and “adjusted revenues”"adjusted revenues" are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as substitutes for the most directly comparable GAAP measures of “shareholders’"shareholders' net income,” “earnings" "earnings per share”share" and “total"total revenues." We also use pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations and adjusted revenues to measure the results of our segments.

Cigna's share of certain realized investment results of its joint ventures reported in the International MarketsCigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting are also excluded.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets because these relate to costs incurred for acquisitions.
Special items if any,are matters that management believes are not representative of the underlying results of operations due to thetheir nature or sizesize. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is measured on an after-tax basis for consolidated results and on a pre-tax basis for segment results.

COVID-19 UpdateRecent Events
From
COVID-19
Cigna's commitment to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, we have focused on deliveringhealth, well-being and peace of mind for the people and businesses we serve, andof our employees and their families. We’ve taken actions to improve affordability and predictability forthe people we serve remains our customers and patients, and make health care easier. Cigna ledfocus as the way since the start of COVID-19 by working to remove cost as a barrier, expanding access to care and helping employers keep their workforce safe and supported. Most recently, we are conducting direct outreach to customers most at-risk for COVID-19 in key communities to provide them with resources about how to get vaccinated and help them make appointments. We also began providing transportation to and from vaccine sites at no extra cost to customers in the majority of our Medicare Advantage plans.
pandemic environment evolves. We continue to executeleverage our business continuity plans over our operations such as optimizing purchasing volume across the pharmaceutical supply chain in orderresources, expertise, data and actionable intelligence to mitigate risk associated with prescription drug supplyassist customers, clients and continuing to support our workforce by enabling remote work where appropriate, and implementing enhanced safety protocols and programs that support the health and mental well-being of our employees. Recent employee programs include expanding benefits-eligible employee use of emergency time off for COVID-19 related reasons as well as offering an incentive award to those enrolled in our medical plan for being fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
The COVID-19 pandemic has pervasively impacted the economy, financial markets and the global health care delivery systems. For the first quarter of 2021, COVID-19 impacts are most notable in our U.S. Medical segment with net unfavorable COVID-19 related impacts as compared with the same period in 2020. COVID-19 related impacts include direct costs of COVID-19 testing, treatment and vaccines, lower risk adjusted revenues in our Medicare Advantage business, decreased contributions from our specialty products and disenrollment resulting from the economic impacts of the pandemic, partially offset by deferral of care by our customers. As compared with the three months ended December 31, 2020 the net unfavorable impacts of COVID-19 decreased reflecting lower direct costs, partially offset by less deferral of care.
Segment results are discussed further in the "Segment Reporting" section ofproviders throughout this MD&A and discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on our investment portfolio and related considerations regarding our investment outlook can be found in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and in the "Investment Assets" discussion of this MD&A.
It is difficult to predict the pace, duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and its related impacts including the vaccination efforts on our results for the remainder of 2021 and beyond. We believe that such results may continue to be impacted by, among other things, vaccine related costs, higher medical costs to treat those affected by the virus, lower customer volumes due to elevated unemployment, lower risk adjustment revenue due to disrupted care impeding appropriate documentation of customer risk profiles in our Medicare Advantage business, the return of costs for those who had previously deferred care, the potential for future deferral of care, or volatility in the economic markets.
Cigna has taken actions to enhance our liquidity that, combined with our other sources of liquidity described in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources Outlook" section below, and our current projections for operating cash flows, we believe are sufficient to support our operations and meet our obligations.time.
The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid with continued uncertainty and we area wide range of potential outcomes. We continue to actively managingmanage our response and assessingassess impacts to our financial position and operating results, as well as mitigate adverse developments in our business.
For further information regarding the potential impact of COVID-19 on the Company, see “Risk Factors”"Risk Factors" contained in Part I, Item 1A of our 20202021 Form 10-K.

Inflation
The United States economy continues to be impacted by rising inflation. While we have not experienced material impacts from inflation on our results of operations or cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022, we continue to monitor our operations for any inflationary impacts. For further information regarding risks we encounter in our business due to economic conditions including inflationary pressures, please see "Risk Factors" contained in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Russian Invasion of Ukraine
The war in Ukraine has significantly affected individuals, economic activity and financial markets on a global scale. Cigna does not have operations or employees in Ukraine or Russia and serves a limited number of customers and clients in these countries. We have not experienced significant impacts to date on our investment portfolio, financial position, or results of operations. For a more complete discussion of the risks we encounter in our business, please see "Risk Factors" contained in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Developments

Kaiser Permanente
In April 2022, we entered into a five-year agreement with Kaiser Permanente aimed at delivering increased convenience, affordability and expanded access to high-quality care for Kaiser Permanente members. Initially, the agreement will focus on providing Kaiser Permanente and its members access to:

Cigna's Preferred Provider Organization ("PPO") provider network for Kaiser Permanente members who need urgent or emergency care and are traveling outside of Kaiser Permanente's service areas, and
specialty pharmacy services through Evernorth's Accredo specialty pharmacy and Evernorth's CuraScript SD.

The agreement has the potential to extend in additional areas.

Organizational Efficiency Plan
As discussed in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, during the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company approved a strategic plan to drive operational efficiencies. We believe this plan, coupled with the previously announced divestiture of the international life, accident and supplemental health insurance industry taxbenefits businesses (described below), will further leverage the Company's ongoing growth to drive operational efficiency through enhancements to organizational structure and increased use of automation and shared services. In connection with these plans, Cigna has updated its reporting segments to align with the new business reporting structure and recognized a charge in 2021.the fourth quarter of 2021 in the amount of $168 million, pre-tax ($119 million, after-tax). We expect to realize annualized after-tax savings of approximately $180 million. A substantial portion of the savings is expected to be realized in 2022. Although a substantial portion of the actions associated with these strategic steps have been reflected in the charge recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021, additional amounts are expected to be recorded in the second quarter of 2022 as we finalize our plans following the completion of the divestiture. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our organizational efficiency charge.

Agreement to Sell International Life, Accident and Supplemental Benefits Businesses
We entered into a definitive agreement in October 2021 to sell our life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in several countries to Chubb INA Holdings, Inc. ("Chubb"). As of March 31, 2022, we now expect to sell our life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in six countries (Hong Kong, Indonesia, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand) to Chubb for $5.72 billion in cash (the "Chubb Transaction"); we no longer expect to sell our interest in a joint venture in Turkey as part of the Chubb Transaction. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the classification of these businesses as held for sale. Subject to applicable regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, we expect to complete the sale of these businesses in the second quarter of 2022. The "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of this MD&A provides a discussion of the expected impact of this transaction to liquidity.

Developments
Purchase of MDLIVE

InAs discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on April 19, 2021, Cigna's Evernorth segment completed the 100% acquisition of MDLIVE, Inc. ("MDLIVE"), a 24/7 virtual care platform.platform (the "MDLIVE Acquisition") for $2.0 billion cash consideration. The acquisition of MDLIVE will enableenables Evernorth to continue expanding access to virtual care and delivering a more affordable, convenient and connected care experience for consumers.

Sale of Group Disability and Life Business

As discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Cigna sold its U.S. Group Disability and Life business to New York Life Insurance Company for $6.2 billion on December 31, 2020. The “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A provides discussion of the use of proceeds from this divestiture.

Regulation

Medicare Star Quality Ratings ("Star Ratings")
The "Business - Regulation" section of our 2020 Form 10-K provides a detailed description of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) provisions and other legislative initiatives that impact our businesses, including regulations issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”("CMS") uses a Star Rating system to measure how well Medicare Advantage ("MA") plans perform, scoring how well plans perform in several categories, including quality of care and customer service. Star Ratings range from one to five stars. CMS recognizes plans with Star Ratings of four stars or greater with quality bonus payments and the Departmentsability to offer enhanced benefits. Approximately 87% of the Treasuryour MA customers were in four star or greater plans for bonus payments received in 2021 and Health and Human Services. Our businesses continue to operateapproximately 89% were in a dynamic environment, and the laws and regulations applicable to us, including the ACA, continuefour star or greater plans for bonus payments to be subjectreceived in 2022; we expect this percentage to legislative, regulatorydecrease to 85% for bonus payments to be received in 2023 based upon the mix of new and judicial challenges.existing MA plans.
Corporate Tax Reform.
Recent proposals related to corporate tax reform propose raising corporate tax
Medicare Advantage Rates
On April 4, 2022, CMS released the final Calendar Year 2023 Medicare Advantage Capitation Rates and Part C and Part D Payment Policies (the "2023 Final Notice"). While the 2023 Final Notice rates among other things. While it is unclear whether recent proposals will be enacted in their current form,are modestly higher than the proposed increases in corporate taxadvance notice rates could(previously released on February 2, 2022), we do not expect the final rates to have a material impact on our futureconsolidated results of operations and, in the period of enactment, both our results of operations and financial condition. We will continue to monitor developments.
Medicare Part D Rebate Rule. As disclosed in the “Regulation” section of our 2020 Form 10-K, the United States Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) and the HHS Office of Inspector General (“HHS-OIG”) released a final rule in November 2020 which eliminated an anti-kickback regulatory safe harbor protection for price concessions, including rebates, that are offered by pharmaceutical manufacturers to plan sponsors or pharmacy benefit managers under the Medicare Part D program and created two new safe harbors. The two new safe harbors cover (i) price reductions by manufacturers to plan sponsors under Medicare Part D and Medicaid managed care organizations that are reflected at the time of dispense and (ii) fixed-fee service arrangements between manufacturers and pharmacy benefit managers. HHS previously delayed the elimination of the aforementioned regulatory safe harbor to January 1, 2023 and, in March 2021, HHS-OIG delayed the effective date for the two new safe harbors to January 1, 2023.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
We maintain liquidity at two levels: the subsidiary level and the parent company level.
Cash requirements at the subsidiary level generally consist of:
pharmacy, medical costs and other benefit payments;
expense requirements, primarily for employee compensation and benefits, information technology and facilities costs;
income taxes; and
debt service.
Our subsidiaries normally meet their liquidity requirements by:
maintaining appropriate levels of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments;
using cash flows from operating activities;
matching investment durations to those estimated for the related insurance and contractholder liabilities;
selling investments; and
borrowing from affiliates, subject to applicable regulatory limits.
Cash requirements at the parent company level generally consist of:
debt service;
payment of declared dividends to shareholders;
lending to subsidiaries as needed; and
pension plan funding.
The parent company normally meets its liquidity requirements by:
maintaining appropriate levels of cash and various types of marketable investments;
collecting dividends from its subsidiaries;
using proceeds from issuing debt and common stock; and
borrowing from its subsidiaries, subject to applicable regulatory limits.
Dividends from our insurance, Health Maintenance Organization (“HMO”("HMO") and certain foreign subsidiaries are subject to regulatory restrictions. See Note 1920 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 20202021 Form 10-K for additional information regarding these restrictions. Most of Evernorth's subsidiariesthe Evernorth segment operations are not subject to regulatory restrictions regarding dividends and therefore provide significant financial flexibility to Cigna.

The following discussion explains variances in the various categories of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 compared with the same period in 2020.2021.
Operating activities
Cash flows from operating activities consist principally of cash receipts and disbursements for pharmacy revenues and costs, premiums, fees, investment income, taxes, benefit costs and other expenses.
Cash flows fromprovided by operating activities decreased,increased, driven primarily driven by increases in accounts receivable due tothe receipt of the delayed 2021 CMS Part D settlement and the timing of certain client billing cycles and business growth as well as the timing of payable and accrued liability payments, including inventory purchases.partially offset by timing of pharmacy and other service costs payable.

Investing and Financing activities
Cash flows used in investing activities increased, primarilydecreased due to lower investment sale activity.net purchases of investments.
Cash used in financing activities increased,decreased primarily due to higherlower stock repurchases and an increase in dividends paid. Cash used in financing activities also includes proceeds fromlower debt issuances offset by the repayment of long-term debt and commercial paper borrowings.
We maintain a share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors. Under this program, we may repurchase shares from time to time, depending on market conditions and alternate uses of capital. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, general business and market conditions and alternate uses of capital. The share repurchase program may be effected through open market purchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or privately negotiated transactions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we repurchased 12.7 million shares for approximately $2.8 billion. From April 1, 2021 through May 6, 2021, we repurchased 1.7 million shares for approximately $400 million. Share repurchase authority was $2.7 billion as of May 6, 2021.repayments.
Capital Resources
Our capital resources consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and investments maintained at regulated subsidiaries required to underwrite insurance risks, cash flows from operating activities, our commercial paper program, credit agreements and the issuance of long-term debt and equity securities. Our businesses generate significant cash flow from operations, some of which is subject to regulatory restrictions relative to the amount and timing of dividend payments to parent.the parent company. Dividends from U.S. regulated subsidiaries were $625 million and $507$475 million for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020, respectively. Nonregulated$625 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Non-regulated subsidiaries also generate significant cash flow from operating activities, which is typically available immediately to the parent company for general corporate purposes.
We prioritize our use of capital resources to:
Invest in capital expenditures, primarily related to technology to support innovative solutions for our customers, provide the capital necessary to maintain or improve the financial strength ratings of subsidiaries and to repay debt and fund pension obligations if necessary;
pay dividends to shareholders;
consider acquisitions that are strategically and economically advantageous; and
return capital to shareholders through share repurchases.

At March 31, 2021, our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 39.9%, an increase from 39.5% at December 31, 2020.
Group Disability and Life Sale. In connection with the sale of this business that closed on December 31, 2020, we deployed approximately $3.0 billion to debt repayment by: (i) repaying in full our $1.4 billion 364-Day Term Loan Credit Agreement entered into on April 1, 2020, on December 31, 2020; (ii) redeeming in full the $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of Cigna’s Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2021 on January 15, 2021 at a redemption price calculated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the indenture governing the Notes; and (iii) repaying certain balances of our outstanding commercial paper in January 2021.Funds Available
Commercial Paper Program. Cigna also maintains a commercial paper program and may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes privately placed on a discount basis through certain broker dealersbroker-dealers at any time not to exceed $4.25an aggregate amount of $5.0 billion. The net proceeds of issuances have been and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The commercial paper program had an immaterial outstanding balance as of March 31, 2021.
Revolving Credit Agreements. Our revolving credit agreements provide us with the ability to borrow amounts for general corporate purposes, including for the purpose of providing liquidity support if necessary under our commercial paper program discussed above. In
As of April 2021, we entered into new2022, Cigna's revolving credit agreements which replaced our prior revolving credit agreements, increased the total credit available to us and enhanced our liquidity position as discussed in more detail below.
In 2018, Cigna entered into a $3.25 billion five-year revolving credit agreement. In 2019, Cigna entered into an additional $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement that expired in October 2020, at which point we replaced the 364-day revolving credit agreement with a new $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement which was scheduled to expire in October 2021. As of March 31, 2021, there were no outstanding balances under either of the revolving credit agreements.

In April 2021, Cigna entered intoinclude: a $3.0 billion five-year revolving credit and letter of credit agreement andthat expires in April 2027; a $1.0 billion three-year revolving credit agreement which replaced the revolving credit agreement that was entered into in 2018. Alsoexpires in April 2021, Cigna entered into an additional2025; and a $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement that will expireexpires in April 2023.
As of March 31, 2022, and replaced the existing 364-daywe had $5.0 billion of undrawn committed capacity under our revolving credit agreementagreements that have since been replaced with the revolving credit agreements described above (these amounts are available for general corporate purposes, including providing liquidity support for our commercial paper program), $3.4 billion of remaining capacity under our commercial paper program and $4.6 billion in cash and short-term investments, approximately $0.7 billion of which was scheduled to expire in October 2021.held by the parent company or certain non-regulated subsidiaries.
See Note 67 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our credit agreements and commercial paper program.
Our capital management strategy to support the liquidity and regulatory capital requirements of our foreign operations and certain international growth initiatives is to retain overseas a significant portion of the earnings generated by our foreign operations. This strategy does not materially limit our ability to meet our liquidity and capital needs in the United States.
Liquidity and Capital Resources Outlook
We maintain sufficient liquidity to meet our cash needs through our cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flows from operations, commercial paper program, credit agreements and the issuance of long-term debt and equity securities. As ofdebt-to-capitalization ratio was 41.9% at March 31, 2021, we had $4.25 billion of undrawn committed capacity under our revolving credit agreements (these amounts are available for general corporate purposes, including providing liquidity support for our commercial paper program), $4.25 billion of remaining capacity under our commercial paper program2022 and $7.0 billion in cash and short-term investments, approximately $2.5 billion of which was held by the parent company or certain nonregulated subsidiaries. 41.7% at December 31, 2021.
We actively monitor our debt obligations and engage in issuance or redemption activities as needed in accordance with our capital management strategy. A description of our outstanding debt can be found in Note 6
Subsidiary Borrowings. In addition to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Updates made to our revolving credit agreements in April 2021 aresources of liquidity discussed above, the parent company can borrow an additional $2.2 billion from its subsidiaries without further approvals as of March 31, 2022.
Use of Capital Resources
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures for property, equipment and computer software were $288 million in the Capital Resources section of this MD&A.three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $242 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. We expect to continue to invest in technology that we believe will drive future growth. Anticipated capital expenditures will be funded primarily from operating cash flow.
42


Dividends. In the first quarter of 20212022, Cigna declared and paid a quarterly cash dividenddividends of $1.00$1.12 per share of Cigna common stock. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our dividend payments. On April 28, 202127, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a quarterlythe second quarter cash dividend of $1.00$1.12 per share of Cigna common stock to be paid on June 23, 20212022 to shareholders of record on June 8, 2021.2022. Cigna currently intends to pay regular quarterly dividends, with future declarations subject to approval by its Board of Directors and the Board's determination that the declaration of dividends remains in the best interests of Cigna and its shareholders. The decision of whether to pay future dividends and the amount of any such dividends will be based on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, capital requirements, the requirements of applicable law and any other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
In April 2021, Cigna completed its acquisition of MDLIVE, Inc. We funded this acquisition with cash on hand and commercial paper borrowings.

Share repurchases
As noted. We maintain a share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors, under which we may repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, general business and market conditions and alternate uses of capital. The share repurchase program may be effected through open market purchases in Note 16 tocompliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2020 Form 10-K, we fund our qualified pension plans at least at the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income SecuritySecurities Exchange Act of 19741934, as amended, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or privately negotiated transactions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. In February 2022, the Board increased repurchase authority by an additional $6.0 billion.
We repurchased 5.8 million shares for approximately $1.3 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 12.7 million shares for approximately $2.8 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2021. From April 1, 2022 through May 5, 2022, we repurchased 1.9 million shares for approximately $470 million. Share repurchase authority was $9.4 billion as of May 5, 2022.
Strategic investments. In 2022, we committed an additional $450 million (which in aggregate represents a $700 million commitment) to Cigna Ventures, our strategic corporate venture fund. Cigna Ventures will use this new funding to continue to invest in companies making progress in insights and analytics, digital health and experience, and care delivery and enablement.
Sale of life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in six countries. We entered into a definitive agreement in October 2021 to sell our life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in several countries to Chubb. As of March 31, 2022, we now expect to sell our life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in six countries (Hong Kong, Indonesia, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand) to Chubb for $5.72 billion in cash. Subject to applicable regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, we expect to complete the Pension Protection Actsale of 2006. We currently expectthese businesses in the required contributionssecond quarter of 2022. Cigna estimates it will receive approximately $5.4 billion of net after-tax proceeds from this transaction and expects to utilize the after-tax proceeds primarily for 2021 under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 to be immaterial.share repurchases.
Risks to our liquidity and capital resources outlook include cash projections that may not be realized and the demand for funds could exceed available cash if our ongoing businesses experience unexpected shortfalls in earnings or we experience material adverse effects from one or more risks or uncertainties described more fully in the "Risk Factors" section of our 20202021 Form 10-K. Though we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity, significant disruption or volatility in the capital and credit markets could affect our ability to access those markets for additional borrowings or increase costs. In addition
Supply Chain Financing Program
We facilitate a voluntary supply chain finance program (the "program") that provides suppliers the opportunity to sell their receivables due from us (i.e., our payment obligations to the sourcessuppliers) to a financial institution, on a non-recourse basis in order to be paid earlier than our payment terms provide. Cigna is not a party to the program and agrees to commercial terms with its suppliers independently of liquidity discussed above,their participation in the parent company can borrow an additional $1.9 billion from itsprogram. A supplier's participation in the program has no impact on our payment terms and Cigna has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the program. The suppliers, at their sole discretion, determine which invoices, if any, to sell to the financial institution. No guarantees are provided by Cigna or any of our subsidiaries without further approvalsunder the program. We have been informed by the financial institution that $341 million as of March 31, 2021.2022 and $331 million as of December 31, 2021 of our outstanding payment obligations were voluntarily elected by suppliers to be sold to the financial institution under the program. These amounts are reflected in Accounts payable in Cigna's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Guarantees and Contractual Obligations
We are contingently liable for various contractual obligations and financial and other guarantees entered into in the ordinary course of business. See Note 1518 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of various guarantees. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there was no material change to the contractual obligations reported in our 2021 Form 10-K.

We have updated long-term debt obligations and purchase obligations as of March 31, 2021 which were previously provided in our 2020 Form 10-K. Investment commitments are described in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no material changes to other information presented in our table of guarantees and contractual obligations set forth in our 2020 Form 10-K.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:
it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and
changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Management has discussed how critical accounting estimates are developed and selected with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed the disclosures presented in the 2020our 2021 Form 10-K. We regularly evaluate items that may impact critical accounting estimates.

Our most critical accounting estimates, as well as the effect of hypothetical changes in material assumptions used to develop each estimate, are described in the 20202021 Form 10-K. As of March 31, 2021,2022, there were no significant changes to the critical accounting estimates from what was reported in our 20202021 Form 10-K.

SEGMENT REPORTING
The following section of this MD&A discusses the results of each of our segments.
We entered into a definitive agreement in October 2021 to sell our life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in several countries to Chubb. As of March 31, 2022, we now expect to sell our life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in six countries (Hong Kong, Indonesia, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand) to Chubb for $5.72 billion in cash. In connection with the pending Chubb Transaction, we revised our business reporting structure. As such, we adjusted our segment reporting effective in the fourth quarter of 2021 and segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 have been restated to conform to the new segment presentation.
See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for afurther description of our segments.
In segment discussions, we present adjusted revenues"adjusted revenues" and “pre-tax"pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations," defined as income (loss) before income taxes excluding pre-tax income/loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, net realized investment gains (losses),results, amortization of acquired intangible assets and special items. Cigna's share of certain realized investment results of its joint ventures reported in the Cigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting are also excluded. Special items are matters that management believes are not representative of the underlying results of operations due to their nature or size. Ratios presented in this segment discussion exclude the same items as adjusted revenues and pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations. See Note 1619 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of these metrics and a reconciliation of incomeIncome before income taxes to pre-tax adjusted income from operations, as well as a reconciliation of total revenuesTotal Revenues to adjusted revenues. Note 1619 to the Consolidated Financial Statements also explains that segment revenues include both external revenues and sales between segments that are eliminated in Corporate.
In these segment discussions, we also present “pre-tax"pre-tax adjusted margin," defined as pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations divided by adjusted revenues.

Evernorth Segment
Evernorth includes a broad range of coordinated and point solution health services includingand capabilities, as well as those from partners across the health care system, in pharmacy solutions, benefits management solutions, care delivery and care management solutions and intelligence solutions. As described in the introduction to Segment Reporting, EvernorthEvernorth's performance is measured using the below metrics:
Adjusted gross profitadjusted revenues and pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations, which excludeoperations.
The key factors that impact Evernorth's Pharmacy revenues and Pharmacy and other service costs are volume, mix of claims and price. These key factors are discussed further below. See Note 2 to the impact of special items.Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information on revenue and cost recognition policies for this segment.
Adjusted pharmacy script volume is calculated by multiplying the total non-specialty network scripts filled through 90-day programsAs our clients' claim volumes increase or decrease, our resulting revenues and home delivery scripts by threecost of revenues correspondingly increase or decrease. Our gross profit, defined as Total Revenues less Pharmacy and counting all other network and specialty scriptsservice costs, could also increase or decrease as one script.a result of changes in purchasing discounts.

Generic fill rate is defined asThe mix of claims generally considers the total numbertype of drug and distribution method used for dispensing and fulfilling. Types of drugs can have an impact on our pharmacy revenues, pharmacy and other service costs and gross profit, including amounts payable under certain financial and performance guarantees with our clients. In addition to the types of drugs, the mix of generic scripts divided by the total overall scripts filled.claims (i.e., generic fill rate) also impacts our gross profit. Generally, higher generic fill rates reduce revenues, as generic drugs are typically priced lower than the branded drugs they replace. However, as ingredient cost paid to pharmacies on generic drugs is incrementally lower than the price charged to our clients, higher generic fill rates generally have a favorable impact on our gross profit. The home delivery generic fill rate is currently lower than the network generic fill rate as fewer generic substitutions are available among maintenance medications (such as therapies for chronic conditions) commonly dispensed from home delivery pharmacies as compared to acute medications that are primarily dispensed by pharmacies in our retail networks.
The key factors that impact Evernorth revenues and costs of revenues are volume, mix of claims and price. These key factors are discussed further below. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2020 Form 10-K for additional information on revenue and cost recognition policies for this segment.
As our clients’ claim volumes increase or decrease, our resulting revenues and cost of revenues correspondingly increase or decrease. Our gross profit could also increase or decrease as a result of changes in purchasing discounts.
The mix of claims generally considers the type of drug and distribution method used for dispensing and fulfilling. Types of drugs can have an impact on our pharmacy revenues, pharmacy and other service costs and gross profit, including amounts payable under certain financial and performance guarantees with our clients. In addition to the types of drugs, the mix of generic claims (i.e., generic fill rate) also impacts our gross profit. Furthermore, our gross profit differs among network, home delivery and specialty distribution methods and can impact our profitability.
Our client contract pricing is impacted by our ongoing ability to negotiate supply chainfavorable contracts for pharmacy network, pharmaceutical and wholesaler purchasing and manufacturer rebates. As we seek to improve the effectiveness of our integrated solutions for the benefit of our clients, we are continuously innovating and optimizing the supply chain.improving affordability. Our gross profit could also increase or decrease as a result of supply chaindrug purchasing contract initiatives implemented. Inflation also impacts our pricing because most of our contracts provide that we bill clients and pay pharmacies based on a generally recognized price index for pharmaceuticals. Therefore, the rate of inflation for prescription drugs and our efforts to manage this inflation for our clients can affectcontinues to be a significant driver of our revenues and cost of revenues.revenues in the current environment.
In this MD&A, we present revenues and gross profit, as well as adjusted revenues and adjusted gross profit, consistent with our segment reporting metrics, which exclude special items.

premium growth, including new business and customer retention;
benefit expenses as a percentage of premiums (loss ratio);
selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues (expense ratio and acquisition cost ratio); and
the impact of foreign currency movements.

Sale of U.S. Group Disability and Life Business. As discussed further in the Executive Overview section of this MD&A, we sold our U.S. Group Disability and Life business on December 31, 2020. Because this business constituted the vast majority of the segment, going forward, we expect a substantial decline in adjusted revenues and adjusted income from operations in this segment in 2021 as compared to 2020.
Adjusted revenues decreased primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency movements in the International businesses and pre-taxlower premiums in run-off businesses, largely offset by business growth and higher net investment income in the International businesses.
Pre-tax adjusted income from operations decreaseddeclined due to lower earnings in run-off businesses, partially offset by higher earnings in the saleInternational businesses.

Our debt securities portfolio decreased during the first three months of 2021ended March 31, 2022, reflecting a decrease in valuations duedriven by a significant rise in treasury rates (in response to increasing yields, which was partially offset byincreased inflation), a modest increase in credit spreads, and net purchases during the quarter.sales activity.
As of March 31, 2021, $15.12022, $13.4 billion, or 86%87% of the debt securities in our investment portfolio were investment grade (Baa and above, or equivalent) and the remaining $2.5$2 billion were below investment grade. The majority of the bonds that are below investment grade are rated at the higher end of the non-investment grade spectrum. These quality characteristics have not materially changed since the prior year and remain consistent with our investment strategy.
Debt securities include private placement assets of $4.9 billion. These investments are generally less marketable than publicly-traded bonds; however, yields on these investments tend to be higher than yields on publicly-traded bonds with comparable credit risk. We perform a credit analysis of each issuer and require financial and other covenants that allow us to monitor issuers for deteriorating financial strength and pursue remedial actions, if warranted.
Investments in debt securities are diversified by issuer, geography and industry. On an aggregate basis, the debt securities portfolio continues to perform according to original investment expectations. However, due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are certain issuers, particularly within the aviation, energy and hospitality sectors, that are showinghave shown signs of distress, primarily in the form of requests for temporary covenant relief. There were no material unrealized losses in any of these sectors as of the reporting date. We continue to monitor the economic environment and its effect on our portfolio and consider the impact of various factors in determining the allowance for credit losses on debt securities, which is discussed in Note 911 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commercial Mortgage Loans
As of March 31, 2021,2022, the $1.3$1.6 billion commercial mortgage loan portfolio consisted of approximately 4550 loans that are in good standing. Our commercial mortgage loans are fixed rate loans, diversified by property type, location and borrower. Given the quality and diversity of the underlying real estate, positive debt service coverage and significant borrower cash invested in the property generally ranging between 30 and 40%, we remain confident that the vast majority of borrowers will continue to perform as expected under their contract terms. For further discussion of the results and changes in key loan metrics, see Note 911 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Loans are secured by high quality commercial properties, located in strong institutional markets and are generally made at less than 65% of the property’sproperty's value at origination of the loan. Property value, debt service coverage, quality, building tenancy and stability of cash flows are all important financial underwriting considerations. We hold no direct residential mortgage loans and do not originate or service securitized mortgage loans.
We assess the credit quality of our commercial mortgage loan portfolio annually by reviewing each holding’s most recent financial statements, rent rolls, budgets, and relevant market reports. The review performed in the second quarter of 2021 confirmed ongoing strong overall credit quality in line with the previous year’s results.
COVID-19 has negatively impacted commercial real estate fundamentals and capital market activity with concentrated weakness in hotels and regional malls. Our mortgage loan portfolio is well diversified by property type and geography with no material exposure to

hotels and no exposure to regional shopping malls. We continue to monitor the long-term impacts onsurrounding the office sector fundamentals due to growing headwinds:multiple headwinds that may impact future valuations: expanded remote workingwork from home flexibility, shorter term leases, elevated tenant improvement allowances and corporate migration to lower cost states. Our mortgage loans secured by office properties are in good standing.
Other Long-term Investments
Other long-term investments of $2.9$3.8 billion as of March 31, 20212022 included investments in securities limited partnerships and real estate limited partnerships, direct investments in real estate joint ventures and other deposit activity that is required to support various insurance and health services businesses. The increase in other long-term investments of $0.3 billion since December 31, 2021 is primarily driven by net additional funding activity.activity and value creation in the underlying investments. These limited partnership entities typically invest in mezzanine debt or equity of privately-held companies and equity real estate. Given our subordinate position in the capital structure of these underlying entities, we assume a higher level of risk for higher expected returns. To mitigate risk, these investments are diversified across approximately 180210 separate partnerships and approximately 95110 general partners who manage one or more of these partnerships. Also, the underlying investments are diversified by industry sector or property type and geographic region. No single partnership investment exceeded 4%3% of our securities and real estate limited partnership portfolio.
Income from our limited partnership investments is generally reported on a one quarter lag due to the timing of when financial information is received from the general partner or manager of the investments. OurAccordingly, our net investment income increased significantly versusin the first three monthsquarter largely reflects the underlying financial information from the fourth quarter of 2020 driven by2021. The broad recovery since the performancebeginning of assets underlying our limited partnership investments through December 31, 2020.the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in strong corporate earnings and higher public and private asset valuations. We expect that income for these investments will remain volatilecontinued volatility in the coming quarters,private equity and it is possible that we could experience losses into future periods, but the magnitude of these losses will depend in part on the lengthreal estate fund performance going forward as fair market valuations are adjusted to reflect market and extent of the economic disruption, the speed of the recovery and the overall economic impacts.portfolio transactions.

Investment Outlook
Expectations regarding the impact of the vaccine rollout and the pace of relaxing restrictions continues to dominate financial markets. The general optimism for this rollout combined with unprecedented monetary and fiscal support from the government has raised expectations for improved economic growth. Although U.S. treasury rates have increased during the quarter from their historic lows during 2020, they remain well below long-term historical averages. In addition, the wider market credit spreads experienced during 2020 have narrowed meaningfully, resulting in yields for investment grade assets that also remain well below historical averages, and this continues to pressure the income we earn on our fixed income investments. We continue to actively monitor the economic impact of the pandemic, including supply chain, labor market and inflation dynamics, as well as fiscal and monetary responses and their potential impact on the portfolio. We expect net investment income during 2021 will reflect both the improved optimism within public and private markets for economic recovery, along with the potential for additional market volatility and portfolio impacts, particularly in certain sectors such as aviation, hospitality and energy, as well as other areas most severely impacted by COVID-19. Future realized and unrealized investment results will be driven largely by market conditions that exist when a transaction occurs or at the reporting date. These future conditions are not reasonably predictable; however, we believe that the vast majority of our investments will continue to perform under their contractual terms. Based on our strategy to match the duration of invested assets to the duration of insurance and contractholder liabilities, we expect to hold a significant portion of these assets for the long-term. Although future declines in investment fair values resulting from interest rate movements and credit deterioration due to both investment-specific and the global economic uncertainties discussed above remain possible, we do not expect these losses to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity.
MARKET RISK
Financial Instruments
Our assets and liabilities include financial instruments subject to the risk of potential losses from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Our primary market risk exposures are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. We encourage you to read this in conjunction with “Market"Market Risk – Financial Instruments”Instruments" included in the MD&A section of our 20202021 Form 10-K. AsDue to the decrease in fair value of our long-term debt since December 31, 2021, in the event of a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates, the fair value of the Company's long-term debt would decrease approximately $2.5 billion at March 31, 20212022 compared to approximately $2.9 billion at December 31, 2021. Changes in the fair value of our long-term debt do not impact our financial position or operating results. Otherwise, there were no material changes in our risk exposures from those reported in our 20202021 Form 10-K.
