“We are very pleased with our third-quarter performance,” said Joseph Zubretsky, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have maintained our attractive margin profile during this unprecedented industry-wide redetermination process while continuing to generate double-digit growth.”

Premium Revenue
Premium revenue was $8.2 billion for the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 8% year over year. The higher premium revenue reflects changing member mix year over year.

Net Income
GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $4.21 per diluted share, an increase of 7% year over year. The GAAP EPS includes a $0.54 per share nonrecurring credit loss charge for a Marketplace risk adjustment receivable in the Company’s Texas health plan. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $5.05 per diluted share, an increase of 16% year over year.

Medical Care Ratio (MCR)
The consolidated MCR for the third quarter of 2023 was 88.7%.
The Medicaid MCR for the third quarter of 2023 was 88.8%, in line with the Company’s expectation and long-term target range.
The Medicare MCR for the third quarter of 2023 was 92.4%, above the Company’s long‑term target range, reflecting higher utilization of outpatient, professional, and in-home services.
The Marketplace MCR for the third quarter of 2023 was 78.9%, reflecting the Company’s pricing strategy and improved risk adjustment results.

General and Administrative Expense Ratio
The G&A ratio and the adjusted G&A ratio for the third quarter of 2023 were both 7.1%, reflecting new business implementation spending relating to new contract wins.

Balance Sheet
Cash and investments at the parent company were $481 million as of September 30, 2023 compared to $375 million as of December 31, 2022.
Days in claims payable at September 30, 2023 was 51.

Cash Flow
Operating cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2,352 million, compared to $985 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase compared to the prior year was primarily due to the net impact of timing differences in government receivables and payables, and the growth in operations.

2023 Guidance
The Company affirms its full-year 2023 adjusted earnings per share guidance of at least $20.75, reflecting third quarter results that were largely consistent with the Company’s expectations, in addition to considerations of seasonality and conservatism.

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.
