“The diversified, durable growth across UnitedHealth Group stems from our colleagues’ commitment to ensuring high-quality, affordable care is available to the people we serve, and positions us well for the near and long-term,” said Andrew Witty, chief executive officer of UnitedHealth Group.

The company updated its full year 2024 net earnings outlook to $15.95 to $16.40 per share to reflect the classification to held for sale of its remaining South America operations and the estimated Change Healthcare cyberattack impacts. The company completed the sale of its larger Brazilian operations in the first quarter of 2024.

The company affirmed the adjusted net earnings outlook of $27.50 to $28.00 per share established at its November 2023 Investor Conference. The consistent outlook absorbs an estimated $0.60 to $0.70 per share of business disruption impacts for the affected Change Healthcare services, which has increased $0.30 per share since the initial estimate was provided last quarter.

Cyberattack Update

The company has restored the majority of the affected Change Healthcare services while continuing to provide financial support to the remaining health care providers in need. To date, the company has provided over $9 billion in advance funding and interest-free loans to support care providers.

Total cyberattack impacts in the second quarter were $0.92 per share. This included $0.64 per share to support direct response efforts such as the Change Healthcare clearinghouse platform restoration and increased medical care expenditures. Additionally, Change Healthcare business disruption impacts, reflecting lost revenue and the costs of maintaining full readiness of the affected Change Healthcare services, were $0.28 per share in the second quarter.

The company currently estimates the total full year 2024 impact at $1.90 to $2.05 per share. Within this, direct response costs are estimated at $1.30 to $1.35, an increase of $0.40 to $0.45 from the initial estimate. The change is due to the company’s care provider financial support initiatives and consumer notification costs. Business disruption impacts are estimated at $0.60 to $0.70 per share.

South America Update

Having completed the sale of its Brazilian business, the company intends to sell its remaining South American operations. Total South American impacts in the quarter were $1.28 per share, the majority of which is non-cash and is due to the cumulative impact of foreign currency losses.

  • Second quarter 2024 revenues grew nearly $6 billion to $98.9 billion, led by strong expansion in people served domestically at Optum and UnitedHealthcare. Second quarter earnings from operations were $7.9 billion, including $1.1 billion in unfavorable cyberattack effects. Adjusted earnings from operations of $8.7 billion include the Change Healthcare business disruption impacts and exclude the cyberattack direct response and South American impacts.
  • The second quarter 2024 reported medical care ratio of 85.1% included 65 basis points of impacts due to accommodations to support care providers (40 basis points) and South American actions (25 basis points). The increase from the prior year’s 83.2% was also due to the previously noted revenue effects of CMS’s Medicare funding reductions, medical reserve development effects, and business and member mix. The company did not reflect any favorable earnings impacting medical reserve development in the quarter.
  • Days claims payable of 45.2 compared to 47.1 in the first quarter of 2024 and 48.2 in the second quarter of 2023. Within this, the return to more normal claims submission patterns from care providers and, to a lesser extent, the impact of the South American actions, decreased days claims payable from the first quarter. The acceleration of claims payments to care providers and South American actions decreased days claims payable from the prior year.
  • The second quarter of 2024 operating cost ratio of 13.3% compared to 14.9% in 2023, reflecting continued strong operating cost efficiency.
  • Cash flows from operations from the second quarter of 2024 were $6.7 billion, or 1.5 times net income. In June the company increased its annual dividend rate by 12%, the 15th consecutive year of double-digit increases. During the quarter, the company prioritized financial resources to support care providers disrupted by the cyberattack.

  • UnitedHealthcare second quarter revenues of $73.9 billion increased nearly $4 billion over the prior year, reflecting growth in the number of people served domestically. Operating earnings were $4.0 billion and adjusted operating earnings were $4.4 billion.
  • Year to date, the number of consumers served domestically with the company’s commercial offerings grew by 2.3 million to 29.6 million as UnitedHealthcare’s innovative and consumer focused product portfolio continues to resonate with customers.
  • The total number of people served by the company’s offerings for seniors and people with complex needs grew to 9.4 million. UnitedHealthcare offerings feature product designs tailored to meet the specific needs of people who have limited economic resources and who are often underserved.
  • Total people served by the company’s state-based community offerings moderated to 7.4 million, with the year-over-year change due to the state-driven Medicaid eligibility redetermination process. The UnitedHealthcare team is continuing its comprehensive outreach to help families maintain, reinstate or find other affordable coverage.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES



Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net earnings per share, adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net margin, adjusted revenues and adjusted medical care ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments made to these measures are as follows:

Intangible Amortization: Adjusted net earnings per share excludes intangible amortization from the relevant GAAP measure. As amortization fluctuates based on the size and timing of the Company’s acquisition activity, management believes this exclusion presents a more useful comparison of the Company's underlying business performance and trends from period to period. While intangible assets contribute to the Company’s revenue generation, the intangible amortization is not directly related. Therefore, the related revenues are included in adjusted earnings per share.

South American Impacts: Adjusted net earnings per share and adjusted net margin excludes the effects of various international transactions, including the loss on sale of our Brazilian operations that was completed on February 6, 2024, the loss on our remaining South American operations being classified as held for sale and certain other non-recurring matters impacting our South American operations. Adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted medical care ratio and adjusted revenues excludes the effects of certain non-recurring matters impacting our South American operations. As these matters are related to the Company's strategy to exit South America, the impact is not representative of the Company's underlying business performance and therefore management believes the exclusion presents a more useful comparison of the Company's underlying business performance and trends from period to period.

Direct Response Costs - Cyberattack: Adjusted net earnings per share, adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted medical care ratio, adjusted operating margin and adjusted net margin excludes cyberattack direct response costs. Management believes the exclusion of costs incurred to investigate and remediate the attack, other direct and incremental costs incurred as a result of the cyberattack and incremental costs for accommodations to support care providers presents a more useful comparison of the Company's and its reportable segments' underlying business performance and trends from period to period.

Note: See pages 4 and 5 for reconciliation of GAAP amounts to adjusted revenues, adjusted earnings from operations and adjusted operating margin.
