The Cigna Group is a global health company serving more than 185 million customer relationships across more than 30 markets, operating through two primary segments: Evernorth Health Services and Cigna Healthcare. Evernorth Health Services comprises Pharmacy Benefit Services and Specialty and Care Services, providing independent and coordinated health solutions including pharmacy benefits administration, specialty pharmacy through Accredo, home delivery pharmacy, health system services, and care management capabilities. Cigna Healthcare delivers comprehensive medical and coordinated solutions through U.S. Healthcare and International Health operating segments, serving employer groups, individual exchange customers, and international markets. The company's business model combines pharmacy and medical capabilities to create integrated solutions that address affordability, transparency, and health outcomes; Evernorth operates on a fee-for-service and risk-sharing basis with clients and health systems, while Cigna Healthcare operates primarily on a fully insured and self-funded basis with employers and individuals. The company's competitive moat derives from its integrated platform spanning pharmacy and medical services, deep clinical expertise, relationships with approximately 1.7 million healthcare providers and facilities, and its ability to deliver modular, customizable solutions across a fragmented healthcare ecosystem. Distribution occurs through direct relationships with employers, health plans, health systems, and individual consumers, with particular strength in the under-500 select employer segment and commercial markets where the company has deliberately exited Medicare and Medicaid exposure.
【Disciplined transformation underway】 Management is executing a strategic transformation centered on the new "Signature" rebate-free pharmacy benefits model, which will become the standard offering for Evernorth by 2028 with at least 50% adoption by year-end 2028, while Cigna Healthcare will adopt the model for all fully insured lives beginning in 2027. The company expects near-term margin pressure in Pharmacy Benefit Services during 2026 and 2027 due to investments in the new model and large client renewals, but management emphasizes this positions the business for durable, sustainable long-term growth and improved transparency. Specialty and Care Services is expected to continue delivering strong growth toward the higher end of its long-term growth targets, driven by secular tailwinds in specialty pharmaceuticals including biosimilar adoption and GLP-1 utilization. Cigna Healthcare is anticipated to grow operating income toward the higher end of its long-term growth targets, supported by disciplined pricing actions, cost management initiatives, and targeted customer growth in select segments, while the company continues to progress toward its long-term debt-to-capitalization ratio target of approximately 40%.
