Behavioral Care customers⁵ at June 30, 2024 were 23.8 million. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to known non-renewal of supplemental behavioral coverage contracts, which were insignificant to total revenues and adjusted income from operations.

Second quarter 2024 adjusted revenues^3,7 increased 3% relative to second quarter 2023, reflecting premium rate increases to cover expected increases in underlying medical costs, partially offset by business mix.
Second quarter 2024 adjusted income from operations, pre-tax¹, increased 3% relative to second quarter 2023, primarily driven by continued operating efficiency and higher net investment income, partially offset by a higher MCR⁴.
The Cigna Healthcare MCR⁴ was 82.3% for second quarter 2024 and includes approximately $50 million of unfavorable prior year revenue impacts, or 40 bps, primarily related to Medicare Advantage risk adjustment. The second quarter 2024 MCR⁴ compares to 81.2% for second quarter 2023, reflecting business mix and the aforementioned prior year revenue adjustments, partially offset by effective pricing execution and affordability initiatives.
Cigna Healthcare net medical costs payable⁸was $5.04 billion at June 30, 2024, $5.66 billion at March 31, 2024, and $5.12 billion at June 30, 2023. The current net medical costs payable reflects more normalized levels after first quarter was elevated due to claims submission and payment process disruptions related to a third-party cyber incident. Favorable prior year reserve development on a gross pre-tax basis was $284 million and $202 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Notes:

1. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is a principal financial measure of profitability used by The Cigna Group's management because it presents the underlying results of operations of the Company's businesses and permits analysis of trends in underlying revenue, expenses and shareholders' net income (loss). Adjusted income (loss) from operations is defined as shareholders' net income (loss) (or income (loss) before income taxes less pre-tax income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests for the segment metric) excluding net realized investment results, amortization of acquired intangible assets and special items. The Cigna Group'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. Adjusted income (loss) from operations is measured on an after-tax basis for consolidated results and on a pre-tax basis for segment results. Consolidated adjusted income (loss) from operations is not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, shareholders' net income (loss). See Exhibit 1 for a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted income from operations to shareholders' net income (loss).

2. Management is not able to provide a reconciliation of adjusted income from operations to shareholders' net income (loss), adjusted revenues to total revenues, adjusted SG&A expense ratio to SG&A expense ratio, or adjusted effective tax rate to effective tax rate, on a forward-looking basis because it is unable to predict, without unreasonable effort, certain components thereof including (i) future net realized investment results (from equity method investments with respect to adjusted revenues) and (ii) future special items. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond The Cigna Group's control. As such, any associated estimate and its impact on shareholders' net income and total revenues could vary materially.

The Company's outlook excludes the potential effects of any other business combinations that may occur after the date of this earnings release. The Company's outlook includes the potential effects of expected future share repurchases and anticipated 2024 dividends.

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.

3. Adjusted revenues is used by The Cigna Group's management because it permits analysis of trends in underlying revenue. The Company defines adjusted revenues as total revenues excluding the following adjustments: special items and The Cigna Group'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 items from this measure because management believes they are not indicative of past or future underlying performance of the business. Adjusted revenues is not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, total revenues. See Exhibit 1 for a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted revenues to total revenues.

4. Operating ratios are defined as follows:

The Cigna Healthcare medical care ratio ("MCR") represents medical costs as a percentage of premiums for all Cigna Healthcare risk products provided through guaranteed cost or experience-rated funding arrangements. Changes in percentages may be expressed in basis points ("bps").
SG&A expense ratio on a GAAP basis for the second quarter 2024 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,684 million as a percentage of total revenue of $60.5 billion at a consolidated level. SG&A expense ratio on a GAAP basis for the second quarter 2023 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,434 million as a percentage of total revenue of $48.6 billion at a consolidated level.
Adjusted SG&A expense ratio for the second quarter 2024 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,621 million excluding special items of $63 million as a percentage of adjusted revenue at a consolidated level. Adjusted SG&A expense ratio for the second quarter 2023 represents enterprise selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,428 million excluding special items of $6 million as a percentage of adjusted revenue at a consolidated level.

5. Customer relationships are defined as follows:

Total medical customers includes individuals who meet any one of the following criteria: are covered under a medical insurance policy, managed care arrangement, or service agreement issued by Cigna Healthcare; have access to Cigna Healthcare's provider network for covered services under their medical plan; or have medical claims that are administered by Cigna Healthcare.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the U.S. Commercial and U.S. Government operating segments combined to form the U.S. Healthcare operating segment. Information presented for three months ended June 30, 2023 has been restated to conform to the new operating segment presentation.

6. Adjusted margin, pre-tax, is calculated by dividing adjusted income (loss) from operations, pre-tax by adjusted revenues for each segment.

7. The Cigna Group owns noncontrolling interests in certain operating joint ventures. As such, the adjusted revenues for the Cigna Healthcare segment only include the Company's share of the joint ventures' earnings reported in Fees and Other Revenues using the equity method of accounting under GAAP.

8. Medical costs payable within the Cigna Healthcare segment are presented net of reinsurance and other recoverables. The gross medical costs payable balance was $5.20 billion as of June 30, 2024, $5.86 billion as of March 31, 2024, and $5.34 billion as of June 30, 2023.

9. The measure "adjusted effective tax rate" is not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, "consolidated effective tax rate". We define adjusted effective tax rate as the consolidated income tax rate applicable to the Company's pre-tax income excluding pre-tax income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, net realized investment results, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and special items. The Cigna Group'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. Management is not able to provide a reconciliation to the consolidated effective tax rate on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict, without unreasonable effort, certain components thereof including (i) future net realized investment results and (ii) future special items.

(1) Adjusted revenues is defined as total revenues excluding the following adjustments: special items and The Cigna Group's share of certain realized investment results of its joint ventures reported in the Cigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting. These items are excluded because they are not indicative of past or future underlying performance of our businesses.

(2) The calculation of weighted average shares includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities for the calculation of Adjusted income from operations per share.

(3) Includes Net realized investment losses/gains as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Income, as well as the Company's share of certain realized investment results of its joint ventures reported in the Cigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting, which are presented within Fees and other revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

(4) Adjusted income (loss) from operations is defined as shareholders' net income (loss) (or income (loss) before income taxes less pre-tax income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests for the segment metric) excluding the following adjustments: net realized investment results, amortization of acquired intangible assets and special items. The Cigna Group'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.

(5) For the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to the anti-dilutive effect resulting from the Shareholders' net loss for the period, the impact of potentially dilutive securities has been excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares for the calculation of diluted Shareholders' net loss per share. Weighted average shares used to calculate diluted Shareholders' net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were 286,465 thousand. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the calculation of weighted average shares includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities for the calculation of Shareholders net income.
