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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company's 2020 Form 10-K includes discussion of significant recent accounting pronouncements that either have impacted our financial statements or may impact them in the future. There have been no updates to accounting guidance not yet adopted or recently issued accounting pronouncements that have occurred since the Company filed its 2020 Form 10-K that would have a material impact to our financial statements. There were no new accounting standards adopted as of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 that had a material impact toon our financial statements. There are no accounting pronouncements not yet adopted, with the exception of Accounting Standards Update 2018-12, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Insurance Contracts ("LDTI") that are expected to impact Cigna's operations or our financial statements. Refer to the Company's 2021 Form 10-K for discussion of the LDTI standard and related expected effects to Cigna. We continue to make progress on our LDTI implementation plan and are on track for the January 1, 2023 adoption date.

In July 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a proposed standard for comment that would simplify the retrospective adoption of LDTI. The proposal would permit companies to make an accounting policy election to exclude contracts that are sold and removed from the balance sheet prior to the effective date of the standard from the retrospective adoption of LDTI. If the FASB approves the proposed standard, Cigna expects to make this policy election for the contracts sold in the Chubb Transaction.

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 below. As of June 30, 2022, there were no outstanding balances under these revolving credit agreements.
In April 2022, Cigna entered into the following revolving credit agreements (the "Credit Agreements"):
a $3.0 billion five-year revolving credit and letter of credit agreement that will mature in April 2027 with an option to extend the maturity date for additional one-year periods, subject to consent of the banks. Cigna can borrow up to $3.0 billion under the credit agreement for general corporate purposes, with up to $500 million available for issuance of letters of credit.
a $1.0 billion three-year revolving credit agreement that will mature in April 2025 with an option to extend the maturity date for additional one-year periods, subject to consent of the banks. Cigna can borrow up to $1.0 billion under the credit agreement for general corporate purposes.
14


a $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement that will mature in April 2023. Cigna can borrow up to $1.0 billion under the credit agreement for general corporate purposes. This agreement includes the option to "term out" any revolving loans that are outstanding at maturity by converting them into a term loan maturing on the one-year anniversary of conversion.
Each of the Credit Agreements include an option to increase commitments in an aggregate amount of up to $1.5 billion across all three facilities for a maximum total commitment of $6.5 billion. The Credit Agreements allow for borrowings at either a base rate or an adjusted term Secured Overnight Funding Rate ("SOFR") plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on Cigna's senior unsecured credit ratings.

Each of the three facilities is diversified among 22 banks. Each facility also contains customary covenants and restrictions, including a financial covenant that the Company's leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreements, may not exceed 60%, subject to certain exceptions upon the consummation of an acquisition.

The Credit Agreements replaced a prior $3.0 billion five-year revolving credit and letter of credit agreement maturing on April 2026; a $1.0 billion three-year revolving credit agreement maturing on April 2024; and a $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement maturing in April 2022.

Commercial Paper. Under our commercial paper program we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes privately placed on a discounted basis through certain broker-dealers at any time not to exceed an aggregate amount of $5.0 billion. Amounts available under the program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. The net proceeds of issuances have been and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The commercial paper average interest rate was 1.60% at June 30, 2022.
The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of June 30, 2022.

Interest expense on long-term and short-term debt was $316 million for the three months ended and $630 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared with $311 million for the three months ended and $636 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

In the first and second quarters of 2022, Cigna declared quarterly cash dividends of $1.12 per share of Cigna common stock. In 2021, Cigna initiated and declared quarterly cash dividends of $1.00 per share of Cigna common stock.
The following table provides details of Cigna's dividend payments for the six months ended June 30:
Record DatePayment DateAmount per Share
Total Amount Paid (in millions)

March 10, 2021March 25, 2021$1.00$345
June 8, 2021June 23, 2021$1.00$342
On August 23, 2021,July 27, 2022, the Board of Directors declared the third quarter cash dividend of $1.12 per share of Cigna common stock to be paid on September 22, 2022 to shareholders of record on September 7, 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.
Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreements
On June 15, 2022, as part of our existing share repurchase program, we entered into separate accelerated share repurchase agreements (“("ASR agreements”agreements") with Mizuho Markets Americas LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “Counterparties”"Counterparties") to repurchase $2.0$3.5 billion of common stock in aggregate. On August 24, 2021,The ASR agreements provided that if the public announcement of the first closing of the Chubb Transaction did not occur on or before July 1, 2022, the ASR Agreements would be cancelled in whole.

15


In July 2022, in accordance with the ASR agreements, we remitted $2.0$3.5 billion to the Counterparties and received an initial delivery of 7.710.4 million shares of our common stock. The final number of shares to be received under the ASR agreements will be determined based on the daily volume-weighted average share price of our common stock over the term of the agreements, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR agreements. We expect final settlement under the ASR agreements to occur in the fourth quarter of 2021.2022. At final settlement, we may be entitled to receive additional shares of our common stock from the Counterparties or we may be required to make a payment. If we are obligated to make a payment, we may elect to satisfy such obligation in cash or shares of our common stock. We recorded the payments to the Counterparties as a reduction to stockholders’ equity, consisting of a $1.6 billion increase in treasury stock, which reflects the value of the initial 7.7 million shares received upon initial settlement, and a $400 million decrease in capital in excess of par value or Additional paid-in capital, which reflects the value of the stock held back by the Counterparties pending final settlement of the agreements. The $400 million recorded in Additional paid-in capital will be reclassified to treasury stock upon settlement of the ASR agreements. The initial delivery of shares resulted in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income per share on the effective date of the ASR agreements.

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.
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$3.1 billion remaining at SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022.
GMDB is accounted for as assumed and ceded reinsurance and GMIB assets and liabilities are reported as derivatives at fair value as discussed below. GMIB assets are reported in Other current assets and Other assets and GMIB liabilities are reported in Accrued

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 $610$463 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 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 SeptemberJune 30, 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. Our allowance for credit losses on debt securities was not material as of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

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.

The Company regularly evaluates and monitors credit risk from the initial mortgage loan underwriting and throughout the investment holding period. For more information on the Company's accounting policies and methodologies regarding these investments, see Note 11 to the Company's Annual Report on2021 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

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.
22


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 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 contractholder 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 and to hedge the interest rate risk of itscertain 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.

23


The gross fair values of our derivative financial instruments are presented in Note 10.12. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the effects of derivative financial instruments used in these individual hedging strategies were not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements, including gains or losses reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss into Shareholders' net income, amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and fair values of assets posted or held as collateral supporting the fair values of these fair values.derivative financial instruments. The following table summarizes the types and notional quantity of derivative instruments held by the Company:
Notional Value as of
(In millions)September 30, 2021December 31, 2020
PurposeType of Instrument
Fair value hedge: To hedge the foreign exchange-related changes in fair values of certain foreign-denominated bonds. The notional value of these derivatives matches the amortized cost of the hedged bonds.
Foreign currency swap contracts$1,070 $925 
Fair value hedge: To convert a portion of the interest rate exposure on the Company's long-term debt from fixed to variable rates. This more closely aligns the Company's interest expense with the interest income received on its cash equivalent and short-term investment balances. The variable rates are benchmarked to SOFR.
Interest rate swap contracts$750 $— 
Net investment hedge: To reduce the risk of changes in net assets due to changes in foreign currency spot exchange rates for certain foreign subsidiaries that conduct their business principally in Euros, Korean Won and Taiwan Dollar. The notional value of hedging instruments matches the hedged amount of subsidiary net assets.

PurposeType of Instrument
Fair value hedge: To hedge the foreign exchange-related changes in fair values of certain foreign-denominated bonds. The notional value of these derivatives matches the amortized cost of the hedged bonds. A majority of these instruments are denominated in Euros, with the remaining instruments denominated in British Pounds Sterling and Australian Dollars.
Foreign currency swap contracts$1,073 $1,081 
Fair value hedge: To convert a portion of the interest rate exposure on the Company's long-term debt from fixed to variable rates. This more closely aligns the Company's interest expense with the interest income received on its cash equivalent and short-term investment balances. The variable rates are benchmarked to SOFR.
Interest rate swap contracts$1,500 $750 
Net investment hedge: To reduce the risk of changes in net assets due to changes in foreign currency spot exchange rates for certain foreign subsidiaries that conduct their business principally in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The notional value of hedging instruments matches the hedged amount of subsidiary net assets. Foreign currency swap contracts are denominated in Euros, while foreign currency forward contracts are primarily denominated in Korean Won, with the remaining instruments denominated in New Zealand Dollars and Taiwan Dollars. As of June 30, 2022 there were no forward contracts denominated in the Taiwan Dollar.

Chubb Transaction.Fair value hedges of the interest rate exposure on the Company’s long-term debt: Using fair value hedge accounting, the fair values of the swap contracts are reported in Other assets or Other liabilities. The critical terms of these swaps match those of the long-term debt being hedged. As a result, the carrying value of the hedged debt is adjusted to reflect changes in its fair value driven by the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The effects of those adjustments on interest expense are offset by the effects of corresponding changes in the swaps' fair value. The net impact from the hedge reported in Interest

Economic hedge against the depreciation of foreign subsidiary earnings due to changes in the quarterly average exchange rate: Fair values of average rate option contracts are reported in Other assets. Because hedge accounting is not applied, changes in fair value are reported currently in earnings in Fees and other revenues. Cash flows relating to these contracts are reported in Operating activities.

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.
24


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 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).

For a description of the policies, methods and assumptions that are used to estimate fair value and determine the fair value hierarchy for each class of financial instruments, see Note 12 "Fair Value Measurements" to the Company's 20202021 Form 10-K.

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.

25


Quantitative Information about Unobservable Inputs
The significant unobservable input used to value our 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.

The following table summarizes the fair value and significant unobservable inputs that were developed directly by the Company and used in pricing these debt securities as of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021. The range and weighted average basis point (“bps”("bps") amounts for liquidity reflect the Company’sCompany's best estimates of the unobservable adjustments a market participant would make to calculate these fair values.

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 judgment that must be applied to the pricing of certain instruments increases and is typically observed through the widening of liquidity spreads. Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 during 20212022 and 20202021 primarily reflected changes in liquidity 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 unobservable inputs 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.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the Company does not have plans to sell any of these assets at less than fair value. These investments are structured to satisfy longer-term investment objectives. Securities partnerships are contractually non-redeemable and the underlying investment assets are expected to be liquidated by the fund managers within ten years after inception.

B.Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value under Certain Conditions
Some financial assets and liabilities are not carried at fair value, such 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 under certain conditions, such as when investments become impaired and are written down to their fair value, or when there are observable price changes from orderly market transactions of equity securities that otherwise had no readily determinable fair value.

For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, 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 ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 were not material.

Note 1417 – Income Taxes
Income Tax Expense
The 21.7%20.8% effective tax rate for the ninethree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 was higher than2022 and the 20.8%21.6% effective tax rate for the same period in 2020. This increase issix months ended June 30, 2022 were lower than the 22.2% rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and the 22.4% rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021. These decreases are primarily attributable to favorable results relative to our foreign operations and for the absencesix months ended June 30, 2022 the favorable impact of favorable items which reduced the rate in 2020, including settlements of uncertain tax positions and the remeasurement of deferred state income taxes, due to changes in statutory rates and adjustments in apportionment factors, partially offset by the eliminationabsence of the nondeductible health insurance industry taxfavorable impact of non-recurring items recorded in 2021.
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 the buyer of the retirement benefits business has the right to redirect the management of the related assets to provide for benefit payments. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, employers maintained assets that generally exceeded the benefit obligations under these arrangements of approximately $440$430 million. An additional liability is established if management believes that the Company will be required to make payments under the guarantees; there were no additional liabilities required for these guarantees,
30


net of reinsurance, as of SeptemberJune 30, 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 SeptemberJune 30, 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 statutes of limitation. In some cases, the maximum potential amount due is subject to contractual limitations based on a percentage of
30


the transaction purchase price, while in other cases limitations are not specified or applicable. The Company does not believe that it is 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 no liabilities for these indemnification obligations as of SeptemberJune 30, 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 charges or credits resulting from existing or new guaranty fund assessments for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 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 remains pending.
Express Scripts Litigation with AnthemElevance. In March 2016, AnthemElevance 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.

Elevance's only remaining service claims relate to the review or processing of prior authorizations. On June 10, 2022, Express Scripts filed a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment seeking to limit Elevance’s remaining prior authorization claims and a Motion to Exclude certain opinions offered by its experts. Elevance filed its opposition to both motions, and a cross-motion to submit a supplemental expert report, on July 9, 2022. Express Scripts’ pending Motions were fully briefed by the end of July 2022.

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 relatedpharmacy-related transactions between the Evernorth and U.S. MedicalCigna Healthcare segments.
The Company uses "pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations" and "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 results, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and special items. Cigna’sCigna'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. 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.
The Company does not report total assets by segment because this is not a metric used to allocate resources or evaluate segment performance.
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 International MarketsCigna 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.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’SMANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
PAGE
PAGE

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 SeptemberJune 30, 20212022, compared with December 31, 20202021 and our results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, compared with the same periods 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.
The Company uses "pre-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations" and "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 adjusted income from operations as shareholders’shareholders' net income (or income 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. Cigna’sCigna'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. 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’shareholders' net income. See the below Financial Highlights section for a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted income from operations to shareholders’shareholders' net income.
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 International MarketsCigna 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
36


substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, total revenues. See the below Financial Highlights section for a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted revenues to total revenues.

COVID-19 UpdateRecent Events
As
Inflation
The United States economy continues to be impacted by rising inflation. We have not experienced material impacts from inflation on our results of operations or cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. We continue to monitor our operations, including vendor costs, health care provider costs and drug pricing for any inflationary impacts, and believe we are prepared to respond to inflationary pressures. For further information regarding risks we encounter in our business due to economic conditions including inflationary pressures, 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 closely monitors the evolving dynamicsdoes 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, see "Risk Factors" contained in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Form 10-K.
COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s
Cigna's commitment to the health, well-being and safetypeace of itsmind of our employees customers and clientsthe people we serve remains our primary focus. Cigna firmly believes COVID-19 vaccinations help control the spread of the virus, limit the severity of the disease and save lives. The Company continues its work to increase vaccinations by enabling, educating and encouraging vaccine acceptance across all eligible populations. Cigna continues to provide access to care and supportive resources to help everyone it serves knowledgeably navigatefocus as the pandemic and take care of their physical and mental health during this time.
For the third quarter of 2021, COVID-19 impacts are most notable in our U.S. Medical segment as net unfavorable COVID-19 related impacts increased as compared with the same period in 2020. The unfavorable COVID-19 related impacts include increased direct costs of COVID-19 testing, treatment and vaccines as well as lower risk adjustment revenues in our Medicare Advantage business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared with the same period in 2020 the net unfavorable impacts reflect increased direct costs of COVID-19 testing, treatment and vaccines, the significant deferral of care by our customers in 2020, lower risk adjustment revenues in our Medicare Advantage business and increased disenrollment resulting from the economic effects of the pandemic. These impacts were partially offset by the absence of the premium relief programs implemented in the second quarter of 2020.

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 of disruption with prescription drug supply due to ongoing global supply disruptions.assist customers, clients and care providers throughout this time.
The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid with continued uncertainty and a wide range of potential outcomes. We continue to actively manage our response and assess impacts to our financial position and operating results, as well as mitigate adverse developments in our business. There continues to be uncertainty surrounding the pace, duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and its related impacts — including the vaccination efforts and new COVID-19 variants — on our results for the remainder of 2021 and beyond. We believe that such financial 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 a disrupted employment market, lower risk adjustment revenue due to disrupted care impeding appropriate documentation of customer risk profiles in our Medicare Advantage business, the pace at which costs return as well as the severity of costs for those who had previously deferred care, the potential for future deferral of care, or volatility in the economic markets.

Adjusted income from operations increased, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared with the same period last year, primarily resulting from higher earnings across our reporting segments, partially offset by the absence of earnings from the sold Group Disability and Life business. The increase in earnings in the Evernorth segment was primarily attributable to effective management of supply chain and business growth; in the U.S. Medical and International segments, earnings growth largely reflected significantly higher net investment income (see net investment income discussion below). For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, adjusted income from operations declined compared with the same period last year, primarily due to improved results in Cigna Healthcare, primarily reflecting lower earningsmedical care ratios and increased specialty contributions, and in U.S. MedicalEvernorth, primarily reflecting the unfavorable impacts of COVID-19continued contract affordability improvements and the absence of earnings from the sold Group Disability and Life business.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the increase compared with the same period last year was due to higher medical costs in U.S. Medical for the reasons cited above and a significant reduction in deferred care in 2021 as compared to 2020.

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 divestiture of the international life, accident and supplemental health benefits 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 updated its reporting segments to align with the new business reporting structure and recognized a charge in the fourth quarter of 2021 in the amount of $168 million, pre-tax ($119 million, after-tax).

As previously anticipated, during the second quarter of 2022, the Company updated its strategic plan, primarily for severance costs, and recognized a charge in the amount of $22 million, pre-tax ($17 million, after-tax).

As a result of our Organizational Efficiency Plan, we expect to realize annualized after-tax savings of $184 million. A substantial amount of the savings is expected to be realized in 2022. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our organizational efficiency charge.

Sale of International Life, Accident and Supplemental Benefits Businesses in Six Countries
On July 1, 2022, we completed the sale of our life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in six countries (Hong Kong, Indonesia, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand) to Chubb INA Holdings, Inc. ("Chubb") for approximately $5.4 billion in cash (the "Chubb Transaction"); as previously agreed, we excluded our interest in a joint venture in Türkiye from the Chubb Transaction. We aggregated and classified the assets and liabilities of these businesses as held for sale in our Consolidated Balance

DevelopmentsSheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the classification of these businesses as held for sale. The "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of this MD&A provides further information on the impact of this transaction to liquidity. See "Other Operations" section of this MD&A for further information on the results of these businesses.

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

Medicare Star Quality Ratings (“("Star Ratings”Ratings")

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") uses a Star Rating system to measure how well Medicare Advantage (“MA”("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 ability to offer enhanced benefits. Approximately 87% of our MA customers were in four star or greater plans for bonus payments received in 2021 and approximately 88%89% were in four star or greater plans for bonus payments to be received in 2022; we expect this percentage to increasedecrease to 89%85% for bonus payments to be received in 2023.2023 based upon the mix of new and existing MA plans.

AgreementMedicare 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 are modestly higher than the advance notice rates (previously released on February 2, 2022), we do not expect the final rates to sell International Markets life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses
Cigna entered into a definitive agreement in October 2021 to sell its life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in seven countries to Chubb INA Holdings, Inc. ("Chubb") for $5.75 billion cash. Subject to applicable regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, we expect to complete the sale of our life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in Hong Kong, Indonesia, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and our interest in a joint venture in Turkey in 2022. The “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A provides discussion of the expected impact of this transaction to liquidity.

Purchase of MDLIVE
As discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on April 19, 2021 Cigna's Evernorth segment completed the acquisition of MDLIVE, Inc., a 24/7 virtual care platform. The acquisition of MDLIVE will enable Evernorth to continue expanding access to virtual care and delivering a more affordable, convenient and connected care experience for consumers. The “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A provides discussion of the impact of this transaction on liquidity.

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
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”) and the Departments of the Treasury and Health and Human Services. Our businesses continue to operate in a dynamic environment, and the laws and regulations applicable to us, including the ACA, continue to be subject to legislative, regulatory and judicial challenges.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("ACA")
ACA Litigation: As described in the “Business - Regulation” section of our 2020 Form 10-K, a federal district court ruled that the “individual mandate” in the ACA is unconstitutional and that the entire law must be struck down. On appeal, the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit agreed that the “individual mandate” is unconstitutional but ordered the district court to reexamine whether the other provisions of the ACA can remain in effect, thereby leaving in doubt whether the entire ACA is unconstitutional until there is a final judicial determination on appeal. The California-led states and the U.S. House of Representatives filed petitions seeking to appeal the Fifth Circuit's ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. The case was argued before the Supreme Court on November 10, 2020. On June 17, 2021, the Supreme Court issued its decision, upholding the ACA in its entirety. There are no changes to our business as a result of the decision.
Cost-Sharing Reduction Subsidies: The ACA provides for cost-sharing reductions that offset the amount that qualifying customers pay for deductibles, copays and coinsurance. The federal government stopped funding insurers for the cost-sharing reduction ("CSR”) subsidies in 2017. Certain insurers have sued the federal government for failure to pay cost-sharing reduction subsidies. In the first set of consolidated appeals, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision on August 14, 2020, finding that (i) the CSR reimbursement provision of the ACA imposes an obligation on the government to pay, but (ii) the insurers' damages must be reduced by the amount of additional premium tax credit payments that each insurer received as a result of the government’s termination of CSR payments. On February 19, 2021 two insurers filed a petition seeking Supreme Court review. On June 21, 2021, the Supreme Court declined the insurers’ petitions, which means the decision from the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit stands and will not
42


be modified further. As described in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we filed a lawsuit in May 2020 against the federal government seeking payment of these subsidies. Our case remains pending. Our premium rates for the 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 plan years reflected a lack of government funding for cost-sharing reduction subsidies.
Corporate Tax Reform. Recent proposals related to corporate tax reform propose raising corporate taxes, among other things. Some proposed reforms could have a material impact on our future results of operations. 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.
Transparency in Coverage. As previously disclosed in our 2020 Form 10-K, in October 2020, the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor and the Treasury issued a final rule that requires most group health plans and health insurance issuers in the individual and group markets to disclose price and cost-sharing information for all items and services to participants and enrollees (the “Rule”). On August 20, 2021, the agencies jointly released guidance regarding the implementation of the Rule. Importantly, the guidance announced that the agencies will (i) indefinitely defer enforcement of the Rule’s requirement that plans and issuers publish machine-readable files relating to prescription drug pricing pending further rulemaking and (ii) defer enforcement of the Rule’s requirement to publish the remaining machine-readable files until July 1, 2022.
Risk Adjustment. As discussed in the “Regulation” and “Risk Factors” sections of our 2020 Form 10-K, our MA business is subject to reviews, including risk adjustment data validation (“RADV”) audits by CMS and the Office of the Inspector General (“OIG”). We expect that CMS, OIG and other federal agencies will continue to closely scrutinize components of the Medicare program.
The “Regulation” section of our 2020 Form 10-K also discusses a proposed rule issued by CMS in 2018 for RADV audits of contract year 2011 and all subsequent years that included, among other things, extrapolation of the error rate related to RADV audit findings without applying the adjustment for underlying fee-for-service data errors as currently contemplated by CMS’ RADV audit methodology. RADV audits for our contract years 2011 through 2015 are currently in process. CMS has announced its intent to use third-party auditors to audit all MA contracts by either a comprehensive or a targeted RADV review for each contract year. If the proposed rule is adopted in its current form, it could result in some combination of degraded plan benefits, higher monthly premiums and reduced choice for the population served by all MA insurers. The Company, along with other MA organizations and additional interested parties, submitted comments to CMS on the proposed rule as part of the notice-and-comment rulemaking process. The comment period concluded on August 28, 2019 and CMS issued guidance on October 20, 2021 extending the timeline to finalize the proposed rule until November 2022. If CMS adopts the rule as proposed, there could be a material impact on the Company’s futureconsolidated results of operations though we expect the rule would be subject to legal challenges. In addition, the Company is subject to OIG RADV audits that are in process.
Also, as described in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the U.S. Department of Justice is currently conducting an industry-wide investigation of risk adjustment data submission practices and business processes, which in the case of certain other MA organizations has resulted in litigation.

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.

Cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30 were as follows:

The following discussion explains variances in the various categories of cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 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 from operating activities decreased, driven by increases in accounts receivable due to higher pharmacy claim volumeAs a result of the receipt of the delayed 2021 CMS Part D settlement, lower income tax payments and business growth, the timing of payments in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and approximately $800 million of tax payments relatedin 2022 compared to the gain on sale of the Group Disability and Life business, partially offset2021, cash provided by absence of the health insurance industry tax payment.operating activities increased.
44


Investing and Financing activities
Cash flowsThe Company acquired MDLIVE and had higher net purchases of investments in 2021. These activities resulted in lower cash used in investing activities increased, primarily due to the acquisition of MDLIVEin 2022.
The Company repurchased less stock and lower investment sale activity.
Cashrepaid less debt, which resulted in a reduction in cash used in financing activities increased, primarily due to higher stock repurchases including shares purchased pursuant to the ASR agreements (described below) and an increase in dividends paid, partially offset by lower debt repayments.
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 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.
On August 23, 2021, as part of our existing share repurchase program, we entered into separate accelerated share repurchase agreements (“ASR agreements”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “Counterparties”) to repurchase $2.0 billion of common stock in aggregate. On August 24, 2021, in accordance with the ASR agreements we remitted $2.0 billion to the Counterparties and received an initial delivery of 7.7 million shares of our common stock. The final number of shares to be received under the ASR agreements will be determined based on the daily volume-weighted average share price of our common stock over the term of the agreements, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR agreements. We expect final settlement under the ASR agreements to occur in the fourth quarter of 2021. At final settlement, we may be entitled to receive additional shares of our common stock from the Counterparties or we may be required to make a payment. If we are obligated to make a payment, we may elect to satisfy such obligation in cash or shares of our common stock.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repurchased 26.5 million shares for approximately $6.3 billion including the $2.0 billion paid under the ASR agreements. Share repurchase authority was $6.6 billion as of November 3, 2021.2022.
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 the parent company. Dividends from U.S. regulated subsidiaries were $2.1 billion and $1.6$1.0 billion for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 2020, respectively.$1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 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:
Investinvest 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 September 30, 2021, our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 42.0%, an increase from 39.5% at December 31, 2020, reflecting an increase in short term debt levels in conjunction with the execution of the ASR agreements.
Sale of life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in seven countries. Cigna entered into a definitive agreement in October 2021 to sell its life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in seven countries to Chubb INA Holdings, Inc. ("Chubb") for $5.75 billion cash. Subject to applicable regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, we expect to complete the sale of our life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in Hong Kong, Indonesia, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and our interest in a joint venture in Turkey in 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 from the transaction primarily for share repurchases.
MDLIVE Acquisition. In April 2021, Cigna completed its acquisition of MDLIVE, Inc. We funded this acquisition with cash on hand and commercial paper borrowings.
45


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 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 an aggregate amount of $5.0 billion. The net proceeds of issuances have been and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.
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.
As of June 30, 2022, Cigna's revolving credit agreements includeinclude: a $3.0 billion five-year revolving credit and letter of credit agreement that expires in April 2026;2027; a $1.0 billion three-year revolving credit agreement that expires in April 2024;2025; and a $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement that will expireexpires in April 2022.2023.
See Note 6 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 of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had $5.0 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), $2.3$3.2 billion of remaining capacity under our commercial paper program and $3.9$4.6 billion in cash and short-term investments, approximately $810 million$0.7 billion of which was held by the parent company or certain non-regulated subsidiaries.
See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our credit agreements and commercial paper program.
Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 42.1% at June 30, 2022 and 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.sources of liquidity discussed above, the parent company can borrow an additional $2.5 billion from its subsidiaries without further approvals as of June 30, 2022.
ForUse of Capital Resources
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures for property, equipment and computer software were $612 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $500 million in the six months ended June 30, 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.
Dividends. During the first ninesix months of 2021,2022, Cigna declared and paid quarterly cash dividends 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 OctoberJuly 27, 20212022, the
45


Board of Directors declared a quarterlythe third quarter cash dividend of $1.00$1.12 per share of Cigna common stock to be paid on DecemberSeptember 22, 20212022 to shareholders of record on DecemberSeptember 7, 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.
Share repurchases. 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 compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), 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 9.7 million shares for approximately $2.3 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 16.3 million shares for approximately $3.7 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2021. From July 1, 2022 through August 3, 2022, we repurchased 10.4 million shares through the initial delivery under the accelerated share repurchase agreements ("ASR agreements") discussed below. Share repurchase authority was $5.3 billion as of August 3, 2022.
On June 15, 2022, as part of our existing share repurchase program, we entered into separate ASR agreements with Mizuho Markets Americas LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (collectively, the "Counterparties") to repurchase $3.5 billion of common stock in aggregate. In July 2022, in accordance with the ASR agreements we remitted $3.5 billion to the Counterparties and received an initial delivery of 10.4 million shares of our common stock. We expect final settlement under the ASR agreements to occur in the fourth quarter of 2022. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our ASR agreements.

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 funding to drive continuous health care transformation, innovation and growth.
Sale of international life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in six countries. On July 1, 2022, we completed the sale of our life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in six countries (Hong Kong, Indonesia, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand) to Chubb for approximately $5.4 billion in cash. Cigna estimates it will receive approximately $5.1 billion of net after-tax proceeds from this transaction and expects to utilize the after-tax proceeds primarily for share repurchases, with $3.5 billion used to fund the purchases of our common stock pursuant to the ASR agreements (as described above).

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 $875program. 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 under the program. We have been informed by the financial institution that $133 million from its subsidiaries without further approvals as of SeptemberJune 30, 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.
We have updated long-term debt During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there was no material change to the contractual obligations and purchase obligations as of September 30, 2021 which were previously providedreported in our 20202021 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, there were no significant changes to the critical accounting estimates from what was reported in our 20202021 Form 10-K.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Our annual evaluations of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairments were completed during the third quarter of 2021. These evaluations were performed at the reporting unit level, based on discounted cash flow analyses or market data. The estimated fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values by significant margins.
Management believes the current assumptions used to estimate amounts reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements are appropriate. However, if actual experience significantly differs from the assumptions used in estimating amounts reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements, the resulting changes could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and in certain situations, could have a material adverse effect on liquidity and our financial condition.

SEGMENT REPORTING
The following section of this MD&A discusses the results of each of our segments.
On July 1, 2022, we completed the sale of our life, accident and supplemental benefits businesses in six countries (Hong Kong, Indonesia, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand) to Chubb for approximately $5.4 billion in cash. During the fourth quarter of 2021, in connection with the Chubb Transaction, we revised our business reporting structure and adjusted our segment reporting accordingly. Segment results for the three and six months ended June 30, 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,services, specialty pharmacy and care solutions and intelligence solutions.services. As described in the introduction to Segment Reporting, EvernorthEvernorth's performance is measured using the below metrics:

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.

Generic fill rate is defined astypes of drugs, the total numbermix 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.

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.

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.

Investment Outlook
We continue to actively monitor current economic conditions driven by the pace of the pandemic recovery, recent geopolitical events and fiscal and monetary policy responses (including the resulting supply chain and labor market dynamics), and the portfolio impact of recent higher levels of both interest rates and inflation. Future realized and unrealized investment results will be driven largely by market conditions and these future conditions are not reasonably predictable. 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. The below discussion addresses the strategies and risks associated with our various classes of investment assets. 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 in the Developments section of this MD&A) were approximately $4.9 billion as of September 30, 2021.following discussion remain possible, we do not expect these losses to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity.
Debt Securities
Investments in debt securities include publicly-traded and privately-placed bonds, mortgage and other asset-backed securities and preferred stocks redeemable by the investor. These investments are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value on our balance sheet. Additional information regarding valuation methodologies, key inputs and controls is included in Note 1012 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. More detailed information about debt securities by type of issuer and maturity dates is included in Note 911 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our debt securities portfolio decreased slightly during the first ninesix months of 2021ended June 30, 2022, reflecting a decrease in valuations due to increasing yields, offsetdriven by a significant rise in treasury rates and credit spreads, and net purchasesales activity.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021, $15.32022, $12.0 billion, or 86% of the debt securities in our investment portfolio were investment grade (Baa and above, or equivalent) and the remaining $2.6$1.9 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.
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 showing 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
53


factors in determining the allowance for credit losses on debt securities, which is discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Foreign government obligations are concentrated in Asia, primarily South Korea and Taiwan, consistent with our risk management practice and local regulatory requirements of our international business operations. We expect the amount of these foreign government obligations to decrease significantly during 2022 upon the close of our sale of certain International Markets businesses as discussed in the "Developments" section of this MD&A. Debt securities include private placement assets of $6.0$4.3 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. Elevated global inflation rates experienced during 2022, as well as continuing supply chain disruptions have displaced the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as the primary risks that many of the issuers in our portfolio are facing. To date, most issuers have been successful in managing the cost escalation and product shortages without undue margin pressure. 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 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign government obligations are concentrated in Asia, primarily South Korea and Taiwan, consistent with our risk management practice and local regulatory requirements of our international business operations. We expect the amount of these foreign government obligations to decrease significantly upon the close of our sale of certain international businesses during the third quarter of 2022 as discussed in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commercial Mortgage Loans
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the $1.5$1.6 billion commercial mortgage loan portfolio consisted of approximately 50 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.
Our annual in-depth reviewWe assess the credit quality of our commercial mortgage loan investments is the primary mechanism for monitoring the overall quality rating of the mortgage portfolio. We completed the annual in-depthportfolio 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 that included an analysis of each underlying property’s most recent annual financial statements, rent rolls, operating plans, a physical inspection of the property and a review of applicable market reports. The results of this annual review2022 confirmed that theongoing strong overall credit quality of our portfolio remains strong and was generally 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 of COVID-19 on 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. Additionally, the current macroeconomic headwinds are impacting capital markets and reducing investor appetite for capital intensive assets (e.g., office and regional shopping malls). Our commercial mortgage loans secured byloan portfolio has no exposure to regional shopping malls and less than 30% exposure to office properties are in good standing.properties.

Other Long-term Investments
Other long-term investments of $3.4$4.1 billion as of SeptemberJune 30, 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 $0.5 billion since December 31, 2021 is primarily driven by net additional funding activity and value creation in the underlying funds.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 200 separate partnerships and approximately 100 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 versus the first nine months of 2020 driven by the strong performance of assets underlying our limited partnership investments. The broad recovery has resulted in strong corporate earnings and higher public and private asset valuations and valuation recovery through the second quarter of 2021 is generally reflected in third quarter results consistent withlargely reflects the underlying financial information reporting lag.from the first quarter of 2022. We expect continued volatility in private equity and real estate fund performance going forward as fair market valuations are adjusted to reflect market and portfolio transactions.

Approximately 1% of the joint venture's investment assets are exposed to private real estate property developers in the China market.We participate in the approval of the joint venture's investment strategy and continuously review its execution. There were no investments with a material unrealized loss as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.
Investment Outlook
The general optimism globally fueled by business re-opening combined with unprecedented monetary and fiscal support from the U.S. government supports expectations for continued economic growth. U.S. treasury rates have increased from their historic lows during 2020, but 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. While this continues to pressure the income we earn on our fixed income investments, it has been more than offset by our limited partnership results, which are reflecting improved growth prospects. 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. Over the balance of 2021, we expect net investment income and investment valuations will reflect the optimism within public and private markets for the continued economic recovery, along with the potential for increasing market volatility with resulting net investment income and asset valuation impacts. 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.2022.
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 primarily to decreases in the fair value of Septemberour debt securities and long-term debt since December 31, 2021, the effect of hypothetical changes in market rates or prices on the fair value of certain financial instruments has changed. In the event of a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates, the fair value of certain non-insurance financial instruments would decrease approximately $1.1 billion at June 30, 2021 there were no material changes2022 compared to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2021. Further, under the same hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates scenario, the fair value of the Company's long-term debt would decrease approximately $2.0 billion at June 30, 2022 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.

After the Chubb Transaction we expect reductions in our risk exposures from those reportedto interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The impact of a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in our 2020 Form 10-K.interest rates on the fair value of certain non-insurance financial instruments of a $1.1 billion decrease cited above would decline to a $0.8 billion decrease excluding the businesses held for sale as of June 30, 2022. The impact of a hypothetical 10% strengthening in the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies excluding the businesses held for sale would be an insignificant amount as of June 30, 2022 as compared to a decrease of approximately $0.3 billion as of December 31, 2021.
