“We are very pleased with our third quarter financial and operating performance, which includes the announcement of significant new business wins,” said Joseph Zubretsky, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We executed well, delivered strong operating earnings, and continued to deliver on our growth strategy. Our projected 2022 earnings baseline is solid, and the embedded earnings power of the company continues to build. In summary, the company’s financial and operational performance validates our long-term revenue growth strategy and its value creation potential.”

Premium Revenue
Premium revenue was approximately $7.6 billion for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 12% compared to the third quarter of 2021. The higher premium revenue reflects the impact of acquisitions and increased organic membership in the Medicaid and Medicare lines of business.

Net Income
GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $3.95 per diluted share, compared to $2.46 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $4.36 per diluted share, compared to $2.83 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2021. The net effect of COVID decreased the third quarter of 2022 GAAP and adjusted EPS by $0.59 per diluted share, compared to a decrease of $1.00 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2021.

Medical Care Ratio
The consolidated MCR for the third quarter of 2022 was 88.4%, compared to 88.9% for third quarter of 2021. The net effect of COVID added approximately 60 basis points to the consolidated MCR in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 110 basis points added to the MCR in the third quarter of 2021. The impact varied by segment. On a year-to-date basis the consolidated MCR was 87.9%.
The Medicaid MCR for the third quarter was 88.5%. The net effect of COVID added approximately 10 basis points in the quarter. On a year-to-date basis the Medicaid MCR was 88.2%, at the lower end of the Company’s long-term target range.
The Medicare MCR for the third quarter was 88.7%. The net effect of COVID added approximately 350 basis points in the quarter. On a year-to-date basis the Medicare MCR was 87.4%, in line with the Company’s long-term target range.
The Marketplace MCR for the third quarter was 86.3%. The net effect of COVID added approximately 90 basis points in the quarter. On a year-to-date basis the Marketplace MCR was 85.1%.

General and Administrative Expense Ratio
The G&A ratio for the third quarter of 2022 was 7.1%, compared to 7.5% for the third quarter of 2021. The adjusted G&A ratio was 6.9% for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 7.3% for the third quarter of 2021. The year over year improvement reflects disciplined cost management and the benefits of fixed cost leverage produced by our increase in revenue.

Balance Sheet
Cash and investments at the parent company were $298 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $348 million as of December 31, 2021.

Cash Flow
Operating cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $985 million, which was lower compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to the net impact of timing differences in government receivables and payables partially offset by the impact of increased net earnings.

2022 Guidance
Premium revenue for full year 2022 is now expected to be approximately $30.5 billion, above the previous guidance of approximately $30 billion. The increase of $500 million includes third quarter outperformance, the addition of the AgeWell acquisition, which closed October 1, 2022, and the expected impact of the extension of the Public Health Emergency from October to January 2023.
The Company increased its full year 2022 adjusted earnings guidance to at least $17.75 per diluted share, above the previous guidance of at least $17.60 per diluted share. The increase above previous guidance is driven by third quarter outperformance, expected margin on additional revenue resulting from the extension of the Public Health Emergency and higher expected net investment income, partially offset by higher expected G&A driven by fourth quarter marketing and open enrollment activities and new contract wins.

CHANGE IN MEDICAL CLAIMS AND BENEFITS PAYABLE
(Dollars in millions)

The Company’s claims liabilities include additional reserves to account for moderately adverse conditions based on historical experience and other factors including, but not limited to, variations in claims payment patterns, changes in utilization and cost trends, known outbreaks of disease, and large claims. The Company’s reserving methodology is consistently applied across all periods presented. The amounts displayed for “Components of medical care costs related to: Prior year” represent the amounts by which the original estimates of claims and benefits payable at the beginning of the year were more than the actual liabilities based on information (principally the payment of claims) developed since those liabilities were first reported. The following table presents the components of the change in medical claims and benefits payable for the periods indicated:

RECONCILIATION OF UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(In millions, except per diluted share amounts)

The Company believes that certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures are useful supplemental measures to investors in comparing the Company’s performance to the performance of other public companies in the health care industry. The non-GAAP financial measures are also used internally to enable management to assess the Company’s performance consistently over time. These non-GAAP financial measures, presented below, should be considered as supplements to, and not as substitutes for or superior to, GAAP measures.
Adjustments represent additions and deductions to GAAP net income as indicated in the table below, which include the non-cash impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, and the impact of certain expenses and other items that management believes are not indicative of longer-term business trends and operations.
Adjusted G&A Ratio represents the GAAP G&A ratio, recognizing adjustments.
Adjusted net income represents GAAP net income recognizing the adjustments, net of tax. The Company believes that adjusted net income is helpful to investors in assessing the Company’s financial performance.
Adjusted net income per diluted share represents adjusted net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis.
Adjusted after-tax margin represents adjusted net income, divided by total revenue.
