The Cigna Group posted a $1.9 billion profit in 2025’s third quarter, up from $739 million during the same period last year, according to an Oct. 30 earnings release.
Total revenue reached $69.7 billion, a 9.5% increase year over year, propelled by Evernorth Health Services, specifically existing client relationships and specialty pharmacy growth. The insurer cited the same reasons for boosts in the second quarter.
Adjusted income from operations was $2.1 billion, less than 1% lower than third-quarter 2024.
For Evernorth Health Services, adjusted revenues were $60.4 billion, up 14.7% year over year. New and existing business contributed to this growth, the company said.
The company’s insurance branch, Cigna Healthcare, generated $10.8 billion in adjusted revenue, down 18.3% year over year. Cigna’s transaction with Health Care Service Corp. was a main driver. Excluding that business, adjusted revenues were up 6% compared to third-quarter 2024.
Cigna Healthcare’s medical loss ratio reached 84.8% this past quarter, a 2.4% increase year over year. The individual and family plans, along with steeper stop-loss medical expenses, were behind the jump.
Like its second quarter, Cigna reaffirmed its 2025 outlook for adjusted income from operations, resting at a minimum of $29.60 per share.
Cigna had 18.1 million medical members, down from 19 million in the comparable quarter. Without considering the HCSC transaction, this count aligns with the December 2024 totals.
