Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Humana Inc. announced a planned leadership transition in its Insurance segment and reaffirmed its earnings guidance for fiscal 2025. George Renaudin, Insurance Segment President and Enterprise Leadership Team member, plans to retire by the third quarter of 2026 and will continue as a strategic advisor through December 31, 2026, then move to a variable staffing pool role until March 1, 2027. He will receive his current base salary, annual incentive opportunity and benefits while serving as a strategic advisor, and then hourly pay for work performed during the variable staffing period, with no additional special compensation beyond normal equity vesting and standard associate programs. After the variable staffing period, and subject to a release of claims and restrictive covenants, he will receive benefits under the company’s Executive Severance Policy.

The company also announced that Aaron Martin will join in January 2026 as President of Medicare Advantage and an Enterprise Leadership Team member, later becoming Insurance Segment President after Mr. Renaudin’s transition, while John Barger will be promoted to President of Medicare Advantage. Humana reaffirmed fiscal 2025 diluted EPS guidance of approximately $12.26 on a GAAP basis and approximately $17.00 in Adjusted (non-GAAP) EPS. The reconciliation from GAAP to Adjusted EPS includes items such as amortization of identifiable intangibles, put/call valuation adjustments associated with non-consolidating minority interest investments, value creation initiatives, the impact of exiting the employer group commercial products business, litigation settlements, loss on sale of a business, impairment charges and the cumulative net tax impact.

Insights

Humana pairs planned leadership succession with a reaffirmed 2025 EPS outlook.

Humana is signaling continuity in both management and financial expectations. The planned retirement of Insurance Segment President George Renaudin by the third quarter of 2026 is staged over more than a year, with an advisory role through December 31, 2026 and variable staffing through March 1, 2027. This design helps preserve institutional knowledge while clarifying that the transition is orderly rather than abrupt.

The company is also refreshing leadership in key growth areas. Aaron Martin will join in January 2026 as President of Medicare Advantage and later become Insurance Segment President, while John Barger is promoted to President of Medicare Advantage. These moves realign senior roles around Medicare and insurance operations, but the filing does not provide performance targets tied to these changes.

On the financial side, reaffirming fiscal 2025 GAAP EPS guidance of approximately $12.26 and Adjusted EPS of approximately $17.00 suggests management’s outlook is unchanged from prior communication. The non-GAAP bridge highlights sizable adjustments from put/call valuation changes, value creation initiatives, restructuring related to exiting employer group commercial products, litigation settlements, loss on sale of a business, impairment charges and tax effects. Actual impact on results will depend on how these factors evolve relative to the guidance framework already in place.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(b) and (e)

On December 16, 2025, Humana Inc. (the “Company”) announced that after a successful 29-year career at the Company, George Renaudin, Insurance Segment President and member of the Company’s Enterprise Leadership Team, will retire by the third quarter of 2026 (the “Transition Date”). Mr. Renaudin has agreed to serve in an advisory capacity to the Company after his transition date.

In connection with his advisory service, Mr. Renaudin entered into an agreement with the Company (the “Agreement”), the material terms of which are summarized below. The payments and benefits to which Mr. Renaudin is entitled under the Agreement are generally subject to his compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Renaudin agreed to continue to provide strategic advisory services after the Transition Date until December 31, 2026, and thereafter transition to the Company’s variable staffing pool (“VSP”) (temporary worker status) until March 1, 2027 (the “VSP Period”). While serving as a strategic advisor, Mr. Renaudin will continue to receive his current base salary, annual incentive plan opportunity and benefits, as the same may be adjusted from time to time. During the VSP Period, Mr. Renaudin will not receive a salary, but will be paid an hourly rate for any work performed for the Company, including: (i) continuing to serve on the boards of various joint venture and minority investment companies in the Company’s investment portfolio, (ii) advising the Company’s business teams as requested regarding ongoing operational and regulatory matters, including participating in public policy matters, and (iii) serving as a strategic consultant to the Company to assist in the transition.

Under the Agreement, Mr. Renaudin will not receive any additional compensation or benefits, other than continued vesting of equity in accordance with applicable provisions under the Company’s stock incentive plan, and other existing compensation and benefits programs generally available to the Company’s associates, including VSP associates.

At the end of the VSP Period, Mr. Renaudin will receive, subject to his execution of a general release of claims and compliance with applicable non-compete and non-solicit covenants, benefits pursuant to Section 3 of the Company’s Executive Severance Policy.

On December 16, 2025, the Company also announced that Aaron Martin will join the Company in January 2026 as President of Medicare Advantage and a member of the Enterprise Leadership Team. Following Mr. Renaudin’s Transition Date, Mr. Martin will assume the role of Insurance Segment President, and John Barger, who currently serves as the President of the Company’s Medicaid and Dual Eligible programs, will be promoted to the role of President of Medicare Advantage. See the attached press release for additional biographical information concerning Messrs. Martin and Barger.

The foregoing summary of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of each of which is expected to be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2025.




Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

The Company reaffirms its guidance of approximately $12.26 in diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) or approximately $17.00 in adjusted earnings per common share (“Adjusted EPS”), in each case for the year ending December 31, 2025 (“FY 2025”). This guidance is consistent with the guidance issued in the Company’s press release dated November 5, 2025 and Form 8-K filed on December 1, 2025.

The Company has included Adjusted EPS in this current report, a financial measure that is not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that this measure, when presented in conjunction with the comparable measure of GAAP EPS, provides a comprehensive perspective to more accurately compare and analyze the Company’s core operating performance over time. Consequently, management uses Adjusted EPS as a consistent and uniform indicator of the Company’s core business operations from period to period, as well as for planning and decision-making purposes and in determination of incentive compensation. Adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP EPS. A reconciliation of GAAP EPS to Adjusted EPS follows:

(a) FY 2025 GAAP EPS guidance and FY 2025 Adjusted (non-GAAP) EPS guidance exclude the impact of future value changes to items that have not yet been recognized or cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company does not expect changes to its FY 2025 Adjusted (non-GAAP) EPS guidance. The Company does expect potential changes to its FY 2025 GAAP EPS guidance due to its ongoing value creation and other strategic initiatives.
