Footnotes
The company has included financial measures throughout this earnings release that are not in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these measures, when presented in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provide a comprehensive perspective to more accurately compare and analyze the company’s core operating performance over time. Consequently, management uses these non-GAAP (Adjusted) financial measures as consistent indicators 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. Non-GAAP (Adjusted) financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company’s non-GAAP measures are not intended to normalize earnings, eliminate volatility, or represent future performance. Non-GAAP measures are subject to inherent limitations and may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. All financial measures in this earnings release are in accordance with GAAP unless otherwise indicated. Please refer to the footnotes for a detailed description of each item adjusted out of GAAP financial measures to arrive at non-GAAP (Adjusted) financial measures.
(a) For the periods covered in this earnings release, the following items are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures described above, as applicable.
•Amortization associated with identifiable intangibles - Since amortization varies based on the size and timing of acquisition activity, management believes the exclusion of this non-cash expense provides a more consistent and uniform indicator of performance from period to period. For all periods shown within this earnings release, GAAP measures affected include consolidated pretax results, EPS (net loss per share), and Insurance and CenterWell segments' income from operations. The table below discloses respective period amortization expense for each segment:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Amortization (in millions) | 4Q25 | 4Q24 | FY 2025 | FY 2024 |
| Insurance segment | $4 | $4 | $17 | $17 |
| CenterWell segment | $4 | $10 | $34 | $43 |
•Put/call valuation adjustments associated with the company’s non-consolidating minority interest investments - These non-cash amounts are the result of fair value measurements associated with the company's primary care strategic partnership and are unrelated to the company's core business performance. For all periods shown within this earnings release, GAAP measures affected include consolidated pretax results and EPS (net loss per share).
•Value creation initiatives - These charges relate to the company's multi-year transformation program, as approved by management with defined scope and milestones. The intent of the program is to re-align the company’s cost structure, operating model, and technology footprint with evolving market conditions. These costs primarily include severance and associate exit costs, asset impairments, and external consulting expenses incurred to execute the program. These charges were recorded at the corporate level and not allocated to the segments. The company has consistently applied this adjustment across all periods. For all periods shown within this earnings release, GAAP measures affected in this release include consolidated pretax results, EPS (net loss per share), and the consolidated operating cost ratio.
•Impact of exit of employer group commercial medical products business - These amounts relate to activity from the exit of the employer group commercial medical products business as announced by Humana on February 23, 2023. For FY 2025, 4Q24, and FY 2024, GAAP measures affected include consolidated pretax results and EPS (net loss per share). Additionally for 4Q24 and FY 2024, impacted measures also include consolidated revenues, consolidated benefit ratio, consolidated operating cost ratio, Insurance segment revenues, Insurance segment benefit ratio, Insurance segment operating cost ratio, and Insurance segment income from operations.
•Settlement of certain litigation expenses - These charges relate to expenses that the company recognized in connection with a discrete legal matter. The nature and magnitude of this settlement are not indicative of the company’s ongoing operations. For FY 2025, GAAP measures affected in this release include consolidated pretax results, EPS, the consolidated and Insurance segment operating cost ratios, and Insurance segment income from operations.
•Loss on sale of business - This discrete disposition is not part of the company's ordinary course operations and the impacts recognized from the disposal do not reflect core operational performance. The loss primarily reflects the difference between the carrying value and proceeds at the time of sale. For 4Q25 and FY 2025, GAAP measures affected in this release include consolidated pretax results and EPS (net loss per share).
•Impairment charges - The company recognized non-cash impairment charges related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets based on the company's estimate of future financial performance in certain state markets. Additionally, the company recognized non-cash impairment charges in 4Q25 related to a discrete joint-venture investment for which the company held minority ownership interests that were deemed to be unrecoverable based on recent market activity. These charges were recorded at the corporate level and not allocated to the segments. For all periods shown within this earnings release, GAAP measures affected in this release include consolidated pretax results, EPS (net loss per share), and the consolidated
operating cost ratio. For 4Q25 and FY 2025, the GAAP measure of consolidated revenues (specifically investment income) was further impacted.
•Cumulative net tax impact - This adjustment represents the cumulative net impact of the corresponding tax benefit or expense at the applicable marginal rate related to the aforementioned items excluded from the applicable GAAP measures. For 4Q25 and FY 2025, the tax adjustment reflects the impact of the loss on sale of business, which exceeded the book loss. The related tax benefit from the loss on sale of business is realizable via capital loss carryback. The tax impact of the aforementioned items differs from the statutory rates due to jurisdictional mix, limitations on deductibility, and other factors. The cumulative tax impact is not intended to represent a normalized effective tax rate or expected future tax outcomes. For all periods presented in this earnings release, EPS (net loss per share) is the sole GAAP measure affected.
In addition to the reconciliations shown on page 2 of this release, the following are reconciliations of GAAP to Adjusted (non-GAAP) measures described above and disclosed within this earnings release:

Cautionary Statement
This news release includes forward-looking statements regarding Humana within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in investor presentations, press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of one of Humana’s executive officers, the words or phrases like “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “assumes,” “intends,” “likely will result,” “estimates,” “projects” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including, among other things, information set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the company’s SEC filings, a summary of which includes but is not limited to the following:
•If Humana does not design and price its products properly and competitively, if the premiums Humana receives are insufficient to cover the cost of healthcare services delivered to its members, if the company is unable to implement clinical initiatives to provide a better healthcare experience for its
members, lower costs and appropriately document the risk profile of its members, or if its estimates of benefits expense are inadequate, Humana’s profitability could be materially adversely affected. Humana estimates the costs of its benefit expense payments, and designs and prices its products accordingly, using actuarial methods and assumptions based upon, among other relevant factors, claim payment patterns, medical cost inflation, and historical developments such as claim inventory levels and claim receipt patterns. The company continually reviews estimates of future payments relating to benefit expenses for services incurred in the current and prior periods and makes necessary adjustments to its reserves, including premium deficiency reserves, where appropriate. These estimates involve extensive judgment, and have considerable inherent variability because they are extremely sensitive to changes in claim payment patterns and medical cost trends. Accordingly, Humana's reserves may be insufficient.
•If Humana fails to effectively implement its operational and strategic initiatives, including its Medicare initiatives, which are of particular importance given the concentration of the company's revenues in these products, state-based contract strategy, the growth of its CenterWell business, and its integrated care delivery model, the company’s business may be materially adversely affected.
•The number of Humana’s Medicare Advantage plans rated 4-star or higher significantly declined in 2025. Humana filed a lawsuit seeking to set aside and vacate the 2025 Star Ratings of its Medicare Advantage plans, and on October 14, 2025, the Court issued a decision rejecting Humana's challenge. Although the company has appealed that decision, there can be no assurances that it will ultimately prevail in the lawsuit. If the company is not successful, the decline in Star Ratings will negatively impact its 2026 quality bonus payments from CMS and may also significantly adversely affect the company’s revenues, operating results, and cash flows. In addition, there can be no assurances the company will be successful in maintaining or improving its Star Ratings in future years.
•If Humana, or the third-party service providers on which it relies, fails to properly maintain the integrity of its data, to strategically maintain existing or implement new information systems (including systems powered by or incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML)), or to protect Humana’s proprietary rights to its systems, or to defend against cyber-security attacks, contain such attacks when they occur, or prevent other privacy or data security incidents that result in security breaches that disrupt the company's operations or in the unintentional dissemination of sensitive personal information or proprietary or confidential information, the company’s business may be materially adversely affected.
•Humana is involved in various legal actions, or disputes that could lead to legal actions (such as, among other things, provider contract disputes and qui tam litigation brought by individuals on behalf of the government), governmental and internal investigations, and routine internal review of business processes any of which, if resolved unfavorably to the company, could result in substantial monetary damages or changes in its business practices. Increased litigation and negative publicity could also increase the company’s cost of doing business.
•As a government contractor, Humana is exposed to risks that may materially adversely affect its business or its willingness or ability to participate in government healthcare programs including, among other things, loss of material government contracts; governmental audits and investigations; potential inadequacy of government determined payment rates; potential restrictions on profitability, including by comparison of profitability of the company’s Medicare Advantage business to non-Medicare Advantage business; or other changes in the governmental programs in which Humana participates. Changes to the risk-adjustment model utilized by CMS to adjust premiums paid to Medicare Advantage plans or retrospective recovery by CMS of previously paid premiums as a result of the final rule related to the risk adjustment data validation audit methodology published by CMS on January 30, 2023 (Final RADV Rule), which Humana believes fails to address adequately the statutory requirement of actuarial equivalence and violates the Administrative Procedure Act due to its failure to include a "Fee for Service Adjuster" could have a material adverse effect on the company's operating results, financial position and cash flows.
•Humana's business activities are subject to substantial government regulation. New laws or regulations, or legislative, judicial, or regulatory changes in existing laws or regulations or their manner of application could increase the company's cost of doing business and have a material adverse effect on Humana’s results of operations (including restricting revenue, enrollment and premium growth in certain products and market segments, restricting the company’s ability to expand into new markets, increasing the
company’s medical and operating costs by, among other things, requiring a minimum benefit ratio on insured products, lowering the company’s Medicare payment rates and increasing the company’s expenses associated with a non-deductible health insurance industry fee and other assessments); the company’s financial position (including the company’s ability to maintain the value of its goodwill); and the company’s cash flows.
•Humana’s failure to manage acquisitions, divestitures and other significant transactions successfully may have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
•If Humana fails to develop and maintain satisfactory relationships with the providers of care to its members, the company’s business may be adversely affected.
•Humana faces significant competition in attracting and retaining talented employees. Further, managing succession for, and retention of, key executives is critical to the Company’s success, and its failure to do so could adversely affect the Company’s businesses, operating results and/or future performance.
•Humana’s pharmacy business is highly competitive and subjects it to regulations and supply chain risks in addition to those the company faces with its core health benefits businesses.

Refer to the "Footnotes" section included herein for further explanation of disclosures for Adjusted (non-GAAP) financial measures, as well as reconciliations.
Consolidated Revenues
The favorable year-over-year quarterly and FY GAAP consolidated revenues comparisons were primarily driven by the following factors:
•higher per member Medicare and state-based contracts premiums, with the Medicare increase largely driven by an increased direct subsidy due to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and
•membership growth in the company's state-based contracts and stand-alone PDP businesses.
These factors were partially offset by the membership decline within the individual Medicare Advantage business, inclusive of the company's decision to exit certain unprofitable plans and counties in 2025.
Refer to the "Footnotes" section included herein for a reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted (non-GAAP) consolidated revenues for the respective periods.
Consolidated Benefit Ratio
The year-over-year increase in the quarterly and FY GAAP consolidated benefit ratios primarily reflected the following:
•a shift in line of business mix resulting from growth in the state-based contracts and stand-alone PDP businesses, which carry a higher benefit ratio, combined with a reduction in individual Medicare Advantage membership,
•incremental investments to improve member and patient outcomes and support operational excellence, and
•the year-over-year increase in the Medicare stand-alone PDP benefit ratio driven by the impact of the IRA; the year-over-year quarterly comparison was further negatively impacted as a result of the change in Medicare Part D seasonality due to the implementation of the IRA in 2025.
These factors were partially offset by the following:
•individual Medicare Advantage pricing inclusive of plan exits and benefit design changes, which more than offset claims trend and the funding environment, and
•the anticipated higher favorable prior period medical claims reserve development (prior period development) in 2025.
Refer to the "Footnotes" section included herein for a reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted (non-GAAP) consolidated benefit ratios for the respective periods.
Prior Period Medical Claims Reserve Development (Prior Period Development)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Consolidated Favorable Prior Period Development (c) $ in millions Basis points (bps) | First Quarter | Second Quarter | Third Quarter | Fourth Quarter | FY |
Prior Period Development from prior years recognized in 2025 | $477 | $161 | $275 | $116 | $1,029 |
| Decrease to GAAP benefit ratio | (160 bps) | (50 bps) | (90 bps) | (40 bps) | (80 bps) |
| Prior Period Development from prior years recognized in 2024 | $535 | $134 | $24 | $8 | $701 |
| Decrease to GAAP benefit ratio | (190 bps) | (50 bps) | (10 bps) | (0 bps) | (60 bps) |
Consolidated Operating Cost Ratio
The year-over-year improvement in the quarterly consolidated GAAP operating cost ratio from 4Q24 primarily resulted from the following:
•administrative cost efficiencies resulting from the company's value creation initiatives,
•operating leverage associated with increased revenues from the impact of the IRA as described above, and
•a lesser operating cost impact from impairment costs in 2025.
These factors were partially offset by the following:
•business mix changes, including within the CenterWell segment which runs a significantly higher operating cost ratio than the Insurance segment, and
•the operating leverage impact associated with the loss of individual Medicare Advantage membership.
The modest year-over-year increase in the FY 2025 GAAP consolidated operating cost ratio was primarily driven by the net unfavorable impact of the factors impacting the quarterly comparison as described above, as well as higher charges associated with the company's value creation plan.
Refer to the "Footnotes" section included herein for a reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted (non-GAAP) consolidated operating cost ratios for the respective periods.
Balance sheet
•Days in claims payable (DCP) of 31.9 days at December 31, 2025 represented a decrease of 1.3 days from 33.2 days at September 30, 2025 and a decrease of 5.9 days from 37.8 days at December 31, 2024.
The sequential and year-over-year comparisons were primarily impacted by an increased proportion of Medicare prescription drug benefit expense in 2025 as a result of structural changes associated with the IRA. Pharmacy claims are processed more quickly than medical claims leading to a lower benefits payable for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) and DCP. The respective declines were further impacted by lower reserve requirements in provider-capitation accruals, including the impact of payments to providers in accordance with the respective risk-sharing arrangements.
•Humana's debt-to-total capitalization at December 31, 2025 increased 80 basis points to 41.1 percent from 40.3 percent at September 30, 2025 primarily driven by the impact of the 4Q25 net loss, partially offset by the repayment of senior notes in 4Q25.
Operating cash flows
FY 2025 GAAP operating cash flows decreased from the FY 2024 period primarily reflecting timing impacts, including the year-over-year increase in receivables due to the IRA and the unfavorable impact of working capital items.
Humana’s Insurance Segment
This segment is comprised of insurance products serving Medicare and state-based contract beneficiaries, as well as individuals and employers. The segment also includes the company's Pharmacy Benefit Manager, or PBM, business.

January 2026 Ending Medicare Advantage Membership
January 2026 individual Medicare Advantage membership approximated 6,280,000, up 1,030,700, or 20 percent, from December 31, 2025. The increase reflects net membership gains during the recently completed 2026 Annual Election period (AEP).
Included within the individual Medicare Advantage membership are approximately 900,000 Dual Eligible Special Need Plans (D-SNP) members, an increase of 139,500, or 18 percent, from December 31, 2025.
January 2026 group Medicare Advantage membership approximated 730,000, up approximately 161,600, or 28 percent, from December 31, 2025, reflecting net membership additions from the 2026 selling season.
Humana’s CenterWell Segment
This segment includes pharmacy (excluding the PBM operations), primary care, and home solutions. Services offered by this segment are designed to enhance the overall healthcare experience. These services may lead to lower utilization associated with improved member health and/or lower drug costs.

Refer to the "Footnotes" section included herein for further explanation of disclosures for Adjusted (non-GAAP) financial measures, as well as reconciliations.CenterWell Segment Revenues
The favorable year-over-year quarterly and FY CenterWell GAAP segment revenues comparisons were primarily driven by higher revenues associated with growth in the company's pharmacy and primary care businesses, partially offset by the impact of the v28 risk model revision.
CenterWell Segment Operating Cost Ratio
The year-over-year increases in the segment's GAAP quarterly and FY operating cost ratios primarily resulted from the following:
•continued phase-in of the v28 risk model revision within the company's primary care business, and
•the uptick of volume within CenterWell Specialty Pharmacy, which carries a higher operating cost ratio than the traditional pharmacy business.
These factors were partially offset by the following:
•continued maturation of the v28 mitigation activities within the primary care business, and
•administrative cost efficiencies resulting from the company's value creation initiatives.
See additional operational metrics for the CenterWell segment on pages S-13 through S-15 of the statistical supplement included in this earnings release.

Footnotes
The company has included financial measures throughout this earnings release that are not in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these measures, when presented in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provide a comprehensive perspective to more accurately compare and analyze the company’s core operating performance over time. Consequently, management uses these non-GAAP (Adjusted) financial measures as consistent indicators 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. Non-GAAP (Adjusted) financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company’s non-GAAP measures are not intended to normalize earnings, eliminate volatility, or represent future performance. Non-GAAP measures are subject to inherent limitations and may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. All financial measures in this earnings release are in accordance with GAAP unless otherwise indicated. Please refer to the footnotes for a detailed description of each item adjusted out of GAAP financial measures to arrive at non-GAAP (Adjusted) financial measures.
(a) For the periods covered in this earnings release, the following items are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures described above, as applicable.
•Amortization associated with identifiable intangibles - Since amortization varies based on the size and timing of acquisition activity, management believes the exclusion of this non-cash expense provides a more consistent and uniform indicator of performance from period to period. For all periods shown within this earnings release, GAAP measures affected include consolidated pretax results, EPS (net loss per share), and Insurance and CenterWell segments' income from operations. The table below discloses respective period amortization expense for each segment:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Amortization (in millions) | 4Q25 | 4Q24 | FY 2025 | FY 2024 |
| Insurance segment | $4 | $4 | $17 | $17 |
| CenterWell segment | $4 | $10 | $34 | $43 |
•Put/call valuation adjustments associated with the company’s non-consolidating minority interest investments - These non-cash amounts are the result of fair value measurements associated with the company's primary care strategic partnership and are unrelated to the company's core business performance. For all periods shown within this earnings release, GAAP measures affected include consolidated pretax results and EPS (net loss per share).
•Value creation initiatives - These charges relate to the company's multi-year transformation program, as approved by management with defined scope and milestones. The intent of the program is to re-align the company’s cost structure, operating model, and technology footprint with evolving market conditions. These costs primarily include severance and
associate exit costs, asset impairments, and external consulting expenses incurred to execute the program. These charges were recorded at the corporate level and not allocated to the segments. The company has consistently applied this adjustment across all periods. For all periods shown within this earnings release, GAAP measures affected in this release include consolidated pretax results, EPS (net loss per share), and the consolidated operating cost ratio.
•Impact of exit of employer group commercial medical products business - These amounts relate to activity from the exit of the employer group commercial medical products business as announced by Humana on February 23, 2023. For FY 2025, 4Q24, and FY 2024, GAAP measures affected include consolidated pretax results and EPS (net loss per share). Additionally for 4Q24 and FY 2024, impacted measures also include consolidated revenues, consolidated benefit ratio, consolidated operating cost ratio, Insurance segment revenues, Insurance segment benefit ratio, Insurance segment operating cost ratio, and Insurance segment income from operations.
•Settlement of certain litigation expenses - These charges relate to expenses that the company recognized in connection with a discrete legal matter. The nature and magnitude of this settlement are not indicative of the company’s ongoing operations. For FY 2025, GAAP measures affected in this release include consolidated pretax results, EPS, the consolidated and Insurance segment operating cost ratios, and Insurance segment income from operations.
•Loss on sale of business - This discrete disposition is not part of the company's ordinary course operations and the impacts recognized from the disposal do not reflect core operational performance. The loss primarily reflects the difference between the carrying value and proceeds at the time of sale. For 4Q25 and FY 2025, GAAP measures affected in this release include consolidated pretax results and EPS (net loss per share).
•Impairment charges - The company recognized non-cash impairment charges related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets based on the company's estimate of future financial performance in certain state markets. Additionally, the company recognized non-cash impairment charges in 4Q25 related to a discrete joint-venture investment for which the company held minority ownership interests that were deemed to be unrecoverable based on recent market activity. These charges were recorded at the corporate level and not allocated to the segments. For all periods shown within this earnings release, GAAP measures affected in this release include consolidated pretax results, EPS (net loss per share), and the consolidated operating cost ratio. For 4Q25 and FY 2025, the GAAP measure of consolidated revenues (specifically investment income) was further impacted.
•Cumulative net tax impact - This adjustment represents the cumulative net impact of the corresponding tax benefit or expense at the applicable marginal rate related to the aforementioned items excluded from the applicable GAAP measures. For 4Q25 and FY 2025, the tax adjustment reflects the impact of the loss on sale of business, which exceeded the book loss. The related tax benefit from the loss on sale of business is realizable via capital loss carryback. The tax impact of the aforementioned items differs from the statutory rates due to jurisdictional mix, limitations on deductibility, and other factors. The cumulative tax impact is not intended to represent a normalized effective tax rate or expected future tax outcomes. For all periods presented in this earnings release, EPS (net loss per share) is the sole GAAP measure affected.
In addition to the reconciliations shown on page 2 of this release, the following are reconciliations of GAAP to Adjusted (non-GAAP) measures described above and disclosed within this earnings release:

Cautionary Statement
This news release includes forward-looking statements regarding Humana within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in investor presentations, press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of one of Humana’s executive officers, the words or phrases like “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “assumes,” “intends,” “likely will result,” “estimates,” “projects” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including, among other things, information set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the company’s SEC filings, a summary of which includes but is not limited to the following:
•If Humana does not design and price its products properly and competitively, if the premiums Humana receives are insufficient to cover the cost of healthcare services delivered to its members, if the company is unable to implement clinical initiatives to provide a better healthcare experience for its members, lower costs and appropriately document the risk profile of its members, or if its estimates of benefits expense are inadequate, Humana’s profitability could be materially adversely affected. Humana estimates the costs of its benefit expense payments, and designs and prices its products accordingly, using actuarial methods and assumptions based upon, among other relevant factors, claim payment patterns, medical cost inflation, and historical developments such as claim inventory levels and claim receipt patterns. The company continually reviews estimates of future payments relating to benefit expenses for services incurred in the current and prior periods and makes necessary adjustments to its reserves, including premium deficiency reserves, where appropriate. These estimates involve extensive judgment, and have considerable inherent variability because they are extremely sensitive to changes in claim payment patterns and medical cost trends. Accordingly, Humana's reserves may be insufficient.
•If Humana fails to effectively implement its operational and strategic initiatives, including its Medicare initiatives, which are of particular importance given the concentration of the company's revenues in these products, state-based contract strategy, the growth of its CenterWell business, and its integrated care delivery model, the company’s business may be materially adversely affected.
•The number of Humana’s Medicare Advantage plans rated 4-star or higher significantly declined in 2025. Humana filed a lawsuit seeking to set aside and vacate the 2025 Star Ratings of its Medicare Advantage plans, and on October 14, 2025, the Court issued a decision rejecting Humana's challenge. Although the company has appealed that decision, there can be no assurances that it will ultimately prevail in the lawsuit. If the company is not successful, the decline in Star Ratings will negatively impact its 2026 quality bonus payments from CMS and may also significantly adversely affect the company’s revenues, operating results, and cash flows. In addition, there can be no assurances the company will be successful in maintaining or improving its Star Ratings in future years.
•If Humana, or the third-party service providers on which it relies, fails to properly maintain the integrity of its data, to strategically maintain existing or implement new information systems (including systems powered by or incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML)), or to protect Humana’s proprietary rights to its systems, or to defend against cyber-security attacks, contain such attacks when
they occur, or prevent other privacy or data security incidents that result in security breaches that disrupt the company's operations or in the unintentional dissemination of sensitive personal information or proprietary or confidential information, the company’s business may be materially adversely affected.
•Humana is involved in various legal actions, or disputes that could lead to legal actions (such as, among other things, provider contract disputes and qui tam litigation brought by individuals on behalf of the government), governmental and internal investigations, and routine internal review of business processes any of which, if resolved unfavorably to the company, could result in substantial monetary damages or changes in its business practices. Increased litigation and negative publicity could also increase the company’s cost of doing business.
•As a government contractor, Humana is exposed to risks that may materially adversely affect its business or its willingness or ability to participate in government healthcare programs including, among other things, loss of material government contracts; governmental audits and investigations; potential inadequacy of government determined payment rates; potential restrictions on profitability, including by comparison of profitability of the company’s Medicare Advantage business to non-Medicare Advantage business; or other changes in the governmental programs in which Humana participates. Changes to the risk-adjustment model utilized by CMS to adjust premiums paid to Medicare Advantage plans or retrospective recovery by CMS of previously paid premiums as a result of the final rule related to the risk adjustment data validation audit methodology published by CMS on January 30, 2023 (Final RADV Rule), which Humana believes fails to address adequately the statutory requirement of actuarial equivalence and violates the Administrative Procedure Act due to its failure to include a "Fee for Service Adjuster" could have a material adverse effect on the company's operating results, financial position and cash flows.
•Humana's business activities are subject to substantial government regulation. New laws or regulations, or legislative, judicial, or regulatory changes in existing laws or regulations or their manner of application could increase the company's cost of doing business and have a material adverse effect on Humana’s results of operations (including restricting revenue, enrollment and premium growth in certain products and market segments, restricting the company’s ability to expand into new markets, increasing the company’s medical and operating costs by, among other things, requiring a minimum benefit ratio on insured products, lowering the company’s Medicare payment rates and increasing the company’s expenses associated with a non-deductible health insurance industry fee and other assessments); the company’s financial position (including the company’s ability to maintain the value of its goodwill); and the company’s cash flows.
•Humana’s failure to manage acquisitions, divestitures and other significant transactions successfully may have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
•If Humana fails to develop and maintain satisfactory relationships with the providers of care to its members, the company’s business may be adversely affected.
•Humana faces significant competition in attracting and retaining talented employees. Further, managing succession for, and retention of, key executives is critical to the Company’s success, and its failure to do so could adversely affect the Company’s businesses, operating results and/or future performance.
•Humana’s pharmacy business is highly competitive and subjects it to regulations and supply chain risks in addition to those the company faces with its core health benefits businesses.
•Changes in the prescription drug industry pricing benchmarks may adversely affect Humana’s financial performance.
•Humana’s ability to obtain funds from certain of its licensed subsidiaries is restricted by state insurance regulations.
•Downgrades in Humana’s debt ratings, should they occur, may adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
•Volatility or disruption in the securities and credit markets may significantly and adversely affect the value of our investment portfolio and the investment income that we derive from this portfolio.
In making forward-looking statements, Humana is not undertaking to address or update them in future filings or communications regarding its business or results. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed herein may or may not occur. There also may be other risks that the company is unable to
predict at this time. Any of these risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Humana advises investors to read the following documents as filed by the company with the SEC for further discussion both of the risks it faces and its historical performance:
•Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024;
•Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025; and
•Form 8-Ks filed during 2025 and 2026.

4Q25 Earnings Release
A.Net losses associated with the company's non-consolidated minority interest investments.
B.Fully-insured dental membership as reported does not include Humana members that have a Medicare Advantage plan that includes an embedded dental benefit.
C.In certain circumstances, the company contracts with providers to accept financial risk for a defined set of Medicare Advantage membership. For these Downside Risk arrangements, the provider is measured against a medical expense ratio target and the company may share savings from reduction to the total cost of care of the defined membership. The result is a high level of engagement on the part of the provider. Under these arrangements, the company may contract with providers to accept partial, full, or global financial risk. In certain instances (capitated shared risk) of these arrangements, the company may choose to prepay these providers a monthly fixed-fee per member to coordinate substantially all of the medical care for their Medicare Advantage members assigned or attributed to their provider panel, including some health benefit administrative functions and claims processing.
D.A Path to Risk provider is one who has a high level of engagement and has contracted with the company to participate in an Upside Only/Shared Savings total cost of care arrangement and/or in one of Humana’s Quality Bonus programs (Model Practice), through which the company rewards the provider for achieving quality and utilization targets. Providers who are contracted in an Upside Only/Shared Savings arrangement may receive a portion of achieved surpluses when the actual cost of the medical services provided to patients assigned or attributed to their panel is less than the agreed upon medical expense targets. These contracts may also include a Downside Risk trigger (future date or membership threshold) which has not yet been met.
E.Per Member per Month (PMPM) shown reflects only Medicaid premiums and average Medicaid membership for the period; includes impact of dual eligible demonstration members.
F.Fully-insured commercial medical premiums also include stop-loss premiums associated with the commercial ASO product; for purposes of the PMPM metric, the commercial ASO stop-loss premiums have been excluded.
G.Specialty per member per month is computed based on reported specialty premiums and average fully-insured specialty membership for the period.
H.The amounts primarily reflect services revenues under the TRICARE East Region contract that generally are contracted on a per-member basis.
I.Computed based on average membership for the period (i.e. monthly ending membership during the period divided by the number of months in the period).
J.De novo refers to all new centers opened or acquired since 2020 under a Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe (WCAS) joint venture. Wholly-owned refers to all centers outside a WCAS joint venture.
K.Represents Medicare Advantage (MA) risk, MA path to risk, MA value-based, Direct Contracting Entity, and Accountable Care Organization patients.
L.Reflects patient admissions under the Patient Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) payment model.
M.Reflects all patient admissions regardless of reimbursement model. Same store is defined as care centers that have been owned and operated at least the last twelve months and startups that are an expansion of a same store care center, net of the impact of the consolidation of care centers that occurred during the last twelve months.

Humana Inc. Fourth Quarter 2025 Prepared Management Remarks 2/11/2026
Detailed Discussion:
2025 Results
•Achieved FY 2025 Adjusted EPS of $17.14, in line with expectations and exceeding initial guidance of ‘approximately $16.25’ while also electing to fund higher than initially planned investments to accelerate our transformation and position us well for the future
oResults underpinned by solid performance across the Insurance and CenterWell segments
oFY 2025 Insurance segment benefit ratio of 90.4%, slightly better than guidance of ‘the top end of the range of 90.1% to 90.5%’
Includes a benefit set aside for a potential Doc Fix for 2025, which was then invested in areas such as network management and increased administrative costs to support items such as technology and other areas that position us well for the future
2026 Outlook
Individual MA
Membership
•Expect FY membership growth of approximately 25% driven by new sales and improved retention from our customer-led benefit strategy and changes to our customer service approach
•Membership growth of approximately 1 million, or 20%, in the AEP (effective 1/1/2026)
oInclusive of approximately 140,000 additional D-SNP members, representing 18% D-SNP growth
oAEP growth represents a higher than historical percentage of expected FY growth due to the previously discussed adjustments made to our post-AEP marketing and distribution strategies, which we continue to manage dynamically
•Retention improved over 500 basis points year over year during the AEP, exceeding expectations and surpassing the ‘350 to 450 basis point improvement by 2028’ goal communicated at our 2025 Investor Day
•Most new sales during the AEP were on contracts with 4+ Stars. As a result, we now anticipate approximately 45% of MA members in 4+ Star contracts in 2026
•Over 70% of new sales during AEP were switchers from competitor MA plans
oHowever, our share capture of members impacted by competitor plan exits was approximately 12%, which is below our market share
•Nearly 30% of new sales during the AEP were bounce back members, which are individuals who have been a Humana member in the past
oBounce back members have historically been more engaged with the health plan as compared to individuals that have not previously been a Humana member
oFurther, we have greater insight into expected health status and utilization patterns due to our previous experience with these members
•Greater than 75% of our AEP sales came from higher lifetime value channels due to ongoing distribution mix rebalancing
•Project 20% lower per sale member acquisition costs in 2026 compared to 2025
•Confident we have the operational capacity to deliver an exceptional experience and high-quality care that improves member retention, inclusive of our new Stars onboarding initiatives
Exhibit 99.3
Humana Inc. Fourth Quarter 2025 Prepared Management Remarks 2/11/2026
•Membership growth expected to further fuel our ability to unlock the earnings potential of the business by 2028 as laid out at our 2025 Investor Day
Revenue, Cost Trends & Margin
•Individual MA premium yield expected to be in the low to mid-single digits for the FY, driven by the 2026 MA funding changes and the increased Part D direct subsidy, partially offset by the BY 2026 Star Ratings headwind
•Continue to anticipate the blend of core medical and pharmacy cost trends to be in the high single digits for 2026, with core medical cost trends on the higher end of mid-single digits and core pharmacy trends in the low double-digit range
•Continue to anticipate doubling individual MA margin in 2026 (normalizing for Stars – therefore assuming ~95% of members are in 4+ Star plans, consistent with 2025)
oAll in, after accounting for the BY 2026 Star Ratings headwind, our initial 2026 guidance assumes Individual MA margins are slightly below breakeven
Group MA
•Expect FY membership growth of approximately 150,000 driven by strong retention and the addition of new public and private sector clients including a large airline, the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) of Kentucky and the Alabama Public Education Employees' Health Insurance Plan (PEEHIP)
•Consistent with expectations communicated at our 2025 Investor Day, we anticipate significant improvement in Group MA margins in 2026 (normalizing for Stars) driven by re-contracting to appropriately reflect the reimbursement levels and cost trends
Stand-Alone Part D (PDP)
•Anticipate FY membership growth of approximately 1 million, largely concentrated in our Basic and Value PDP plans
•We are participating in the PDP Premium Stabilization Demonstration in 2026 which limits the maximum amount of member premium increase, while increasing the direct subsidy paid to plan sponsors
•Finally, we are enhancing patient health outcomes and enterprise value from our PDP plans by driving mail order pharmacy usage and conversions to MA
Medicaid
•Expect FY membership growth in the range of 25,000 to 100,000
oIncludes the January 1, 2026 initial phase-in of the Michigan Highly Integrated Dual Eligible (HIDE) Special Need Plan (SNP), the statewide Illinois Fully Integrated Dual Eligible (FIDE) SNP program launch, as well as the carve in of dual eligibles into the South Carolina Medicaid program
oNew program launches expected to be partially offset by the impact of national Medicaid enrollment headwinds
•Anticipate margin improvement from J curve maturation in 2026, with approximately 40% of expected revenue in the 6 states that we have operated less than 3 years
Exhibit 99.3
Humana Inc. Fourth Quarter 2025 Prepared Management Remarks 2/11/2026
•Continue to navigate procurement challenges related to our recent awards in Texas and Georgia. We remain bullish on these awards and our ability to win new business and successfully deliver value for our members and state partners
oAnticipate a decision on our Illinois Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Request for Proposal (RFP) submission in the first quarter of 2026
CenterWell
Primary Care
•We anticipate adding up to 60 to 70 centers with net patient growth of 120,000 to 140,000, reflecting approximately 26% patient growth at the midpoint
oAccelerated pace of growth driven by continued high-value, opportunistic M&A as well as strong same-store organic growth, expansion of our IPA business, and continued, albeit measured, de novo expansion
•Continue to anticipate we will mitigate the ultimate impact of the v28 risk model changes in 2026 through a multi-pronged plan including numerous operational efficiencies such as centralizing and streamlining administrative functions, standardizing the clinic operating model, and improving clinician productivity to increase capacity
•Consistent with expectations shared at our 2025 Investor Day, anticipate improved margin year over year with the impact of the final year of the v28 phase in and the addition of centers at various stages of maturation (including the previously discussed headwind related to The Villages Health acquisition) expected to be offset by:
oAdvancement of our ongoing v28 mitigation activities, including clinical model investments and
oFurther maturation of our existing centers progressing through the J curve
Home
•CenterWell Home Health anticipates a mid-single digit percentage increase in same store admissions for FY 2026
•Within OneHome, we expect expansion of our value-based home health models in 2026, including:
oBroader coverage of Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) services across 15 states, representing approximately 2 million lives
•In addition, we continue to execute on our comprehensive initiative to drive productivity and efficiency within our home operating model to offset reimbursement and other pressures
oInitiatives focused in areas such as improving caregiver productivity, minimizing the use of contract labor, and outsourcing certain aspects of revenue cycle management
Pharmacy
•CenterWell Pharmacy expects increased volumes in 2026 associated with Humana’s membership growth and continued industry leading mail order penetration
•Further, we expect continued expansion of our agnostic client base with a significant year over year increase in Specialty, Direct to Consumer (DtC), and Direct to Employer (DtE) volumes anticipated
Exhibit 99.3
Humana Inc. Fourth Quarter 2025 Prepared Management Remarks 2/11/2026
•All in, we anticipate solid improvement in Pharmacy earnings contribution in 2026 with robust revenue growth across Specialty, DtC, DtE and Home delivery
•Within Humana Pharmacy Solutions, our Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) business, we remain focused on providing affordable access to medications for Humana health plan members
oAs a reminder, our PBM fees are not linked to drug prices. Further, our PBM activity is intercompany and is reported and eliminated within our Insurance segment
Operating Efficiencies
•Anticipate the consolidated operating cost ratio to be 10%, plus or minus 25 basis points
oThe expected decrease from the FY 2025 Adjusted operating cost ratio of 11.5% is driven by operating leverage from membership and revenue growth, along with tactical cost cutting and transformation efforts, which are progressing as anticipated. These items were partially offset by the impact of the BY 2026 Star Ratings decline (Appendix C)
Net Investment Income
•As previously shared, FY 2026 net investment income is expected to be down approximately $150 million year over year primarily driven by lower average interest rates on our investment portfolio and other capital optimization activity
oYear over year comparison excludes the impact of the non-cash impairment charge in 4Q25 related to a discrete joint-venture investment which was adjusted for non-GAAP purposes in 2025
Capital Deployment & Balance Sheet
•Will continue our prudent capital deployment approach in 2026, taking a balanced approach to evaluating capital investments and returns
oAs a result, our 2026 outlook contemplates minimal share repurchase activity to offset dilution from stock-based compensation
oWe will continue to evaluate select small to mid-sized strategic M&A activity, primarily within CenterWell
•Continue to execute on our efforts to increase the efficiency of our balance sheet and fortify our foundation, including working capital improvements, non-core asset sales, liability and capital management
oOur capital optimization progress significantly reduces the funding required for expected membership growth in 2026
oInitiatives include optimizing legal entity structures, refining reinsurance and risk transfer arrangements, enhancing investment portfolio efficiency, and managing the timing and structure of capital deployment
oImprovements in capital efficiency will offset over $3 billion of growth in our capital requirements from the end of 2024 through 2026, representing the overwhelming majority of the capital needed to fund 2026 membership growth, while maintaining strong regulatory capital and liquidity positions
oWe continue to evaluate additional opportunities in a disciplined manner with a focus on regulatory requirements, ratings agency considerations, and market conditions
Exhibit 99.3
Humana Inc. Fourth Quarter 2025 Prepared Management Remarks 2/11/2026
•As of December 31, 2025, we have no amount drawn on the 5-year revolver and no outstanding commercial paper
oDebt to capitalization as of December 31, 2025 is 41.1%, up from 40.3% as of September 30, 2025 driven by the impact of the 4Q25 net loss, partially offset by the repayment of senior notes in 4Q25
oWe continue to target a debt to capitalization ratio of approximately 40% over the long term
•Intend to maintain our dividend flat year over year on a per share basis throughout 2026
•In summary, after contemplating capital required to fund 2026 membership growth and select small to mid-size strategic M&A opportunities, we remain comfortable with our capital levels, which are in line with regulatory and rating agency expectations. Further, we remain committed to prudent debt to capital management and are focused on maintaining our credit ratings.
Earnings Seasonality
•At this time, we expect first quarter earnings to be approximately 110% to 115% of expected FY 2026 Adjusted earnings and anticipate that the first quarter Insurance segment benefit ratio to be just under 90%. Finally, we expect the consolidated benefit ratio will be generally in line with the Insurance segment benefit ratio.
Conclusion:
•Pleased with our solid performance in 2025 and remain confident in our customer-led strategy and 2026 membership outlook for MA
•Remain focused on levers within our control, driving clinical excellence and improved operating efficiency, which we expect to drive better health outcomes and experiences for our members, patients, provider partners and associates, while delivering compelling long-term value for our shareholders
•Committed to delivering a stable and compelling MA margin and unlocking the earnings potential of the business by 2028 as laid out at our 2025 Investor Day
oOur MA benefit strategy will contemplate the funding environment each year
