“Our second quarter results are representative of the rigor with which we operate our businesses and the value of a diversified portfolio,” said Mark T. Bertolini, Aetna chairman and CEO.  “We grew total revenue by five percent to nearly $16 billion, and we continue to expect strong operating performance for the remainder of 2016.”

“While we are pleased with our overall results, in light of updated 2016 projections for our individual products and the significant structural challenges facing the public exchanges, we intend to withdraw all of our 2017 public exchange expansion plans, and are undertaking a complete evaluation of future participation in our current 15-state footprint,” said Bertolini.

“We delivered solid top-line and bottom-line results in the second quarter, despite the challenges in our ACA compliant products,” said Shawn M. Guertin, Aetna executive vice president and chief financial officer.  “Our financial position, capital structure, and liquidity are all strong, and bolstered by core businesses that continue to produce bottom-line growth.”

Total company results
•
Net income (1) was $790.8 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared with $731.8 million for the second quarter of 2015. The increase in net income reflects the reduction of Aetna's reserve for anticipated future losses on discontinued products, the increase in operating earnings described below and an increase in net realized capital gains, partially offset by litigation-related proceeds recorded during the second quarter of 2015 and an increase in transaction and integration-related costs (2) in 2016.
•
Operating earnings (2) were $783.3 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared with $722.1 million for the second quarter of 2015. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to higher fees and other revenue in Aetna's Health Care segment and lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower underwriting margins in Aetna's Health Care segment.
•
Total revenue and operating revenue (3) were $16.0 billion and $15.9 billion for the second quarter of 2016, respectively, and $15.2 billion and $15.1 billion for the second quarter of 2015, respectively. The increase in both total revenue and operating revenue was primarily due to higher Health Care premium yields and membership growth in Aetna's Government business, partially offset by membership declines in Aetna's Commercial Insured products.


Aetna/3

•
Total operating expenses were $2.8 billion for the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted operating expenses (2) were $2.7 billion for the second quarter of 2016. The total company expense ratio was 17.4 percent and 18.4 percent for the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The adjusted operating expense ratio (5) was 17.1 percent and 18.3 percent for the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The improvement in both ratios during 2016 was primarily due to the increase in total revenue and operating revenue described above and the decrease in total operating expenses and adjusted operating expenses due to the execution of Aetna's expense management initiatives.
•
After-tax net income margin was 5.0 percent and 4.8 percent for the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Pretax operating margin (6) was 8.9 percent and 8.8 percent for the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively.
•
Total debt to consolidated capitalization ratio (9) was 53.8 percent at June 30, 2016 compared with 32.6 percent at December 31, 2015. The total debt to consolidated capitalization ratio at June 30, 2016 reflects the issuance of $13 billion of senior notes to partially fund the proposed acquisition (the "Humana Acquisition") of Humana Inc ("Humana").
•
Days claims payable (9) was 56.2 days at June 30, 2016, a sequential decline of 1.1 days and a 4.4 day increase compared to June 30, 2015. The year over year increase was primarily due to increased claim processing times.
•
Effective tax rate remained relatively flat at 41.4 percent for the second quarter of 2016 compared with 41.8 percent for the second quarter of 2015.

Health Care segment results
Health Care, which provides a full range of insured and self-insured medical, pharmacy, dental and behavioral health products and services, reported:
•
Net income (1) was $710.7 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared with $714.0 million for the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in net income primarily reflects litigation-related proceeds recorded during the second quarter of 2015 and an increase in transaction and integration-related costs in 2016 (2), partially offset by the increase in operating earnings described below and an increase in net realized capital gains.
•
Operating earnings (2) were $771.0 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared with $708.0 million for the second quarter of 2015. Operating earnings increased primarily due to higher underwriting margins in Aetna's Government business, higher fees and other


Aetna/4

revenue primarily due to higher average fee yields and lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower underwriting margins in Aetna's Commercial business primarily due to higher medical costs in Aetna's Individual Commercial products.
•
Total revenue and operating revenue (3) were both $15.2 billion for the second quarter of 2016 and $14.5 billion and $14.4 billion for the second quarter of 2015, respectively. The increase in both total revenue and operating revenue was primarily due to higher premium yields and membership growth in Aetna's Government business, partially offset by membership losses in Aetna's Commercial Insured products.
•
Sequentially, second quarter 2016 medical membership remained flat at 23.0 million.
•
Medical benefit ratios (MBRs) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

•
Aetna's second quarter 2016 Commercial MBR increased over the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to higher medical costs in Aetna's Individual Commercial products, including a $65 million premium deficiency reserve recorded during the second quarter of 2016, which reflects anticipated future losses for the 2016 coverage year. Aetna's Individual Commercial products were also impacted by updates to estimates related to certain ACA programs in the second quarters of each 2016 and 2015. The 2016 MBR increase was partially offset by a favorable update to the ACA risk adjustment estimate for Aetna's Small Group Commercial products in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015.
•
Aetna's second quarter 2016 Government MBR increased over the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to lower favorable development of prior-period health care cost estimates in 2016.
•
In the second quarter of 2016, Aetna experienced favorable development of prior-period health care cost estimates in its Commercial, Medicaid and Medicare products, primarily attributable to first-quarter 2016 performance.
•
Prior-years' health care costs payable estimates developed favorably by $709.4 million and $699.0 million during the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. This development is reported on a basis consistent with the prior years' development reported


Aetna/5

in the health care costs payable table in Aetna's annual audited financial statements and does not directly correspond to an increase in 2016 operating results.

Group Insurance segment results
Group Insurance, which includes group life, disability and long-term care products, reported:
•
Net income (1) was $60.9 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared with $49.1 million for the second quarter of 2015. Net income increased primarily due to higher net realized capital gains. Operating earnings (2) were $49.9 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared with $44.8 million for the second quarter of 2015.
•
Total revenue was $647.1 million and $635.7 million for the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Operating revenue (3) was $630.1 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared with $628.9 million for the second quarter of 2015.

Large Case Pensions segment results
Large Case Pensions, which manages a variety of discontinued and other retirement and savings products, primarily for qualified pension plans, reported:
•
Net income (1) was $90.3 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared with $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2015. Net income increased primarily due to the reduction of Aetna's reserve for anticipated future losses on discontinued products, which was primarily due to favorable retirement experience as well as favorable investment performance compared to assumptions Aetna previously made in estimating the reserve. Operating earnings were $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared with operating earnings of $6.2 million for the second quarter of 2015.
•
Total revenue was $81.7 million and $89.4 million for the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Operating revenue (3) was $78.0 million and $90.3 million for the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in both total revenue and operating revenue was primarily due to lower net investment income in 2016.

These costs are included within transaction and integration-related costs.





Aetna/14

(1) Net income (loss) refers to net income (loss) attributable to Aetna reported in Aetna's GAAP Consolidated Statements of Income. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this press release to net income (loss), net income per share, operating earnings and operating earnings per share, are based upon net income (loss) attributable to Aetna, which excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.

(2) Operating earnings and operating earnings per share exclude from net income attributable to Aetna and adjusted operating expenses and operating revenue exclude, as applicable, amortization of other acquired intangible assets, net realized capital gains or losses and other items, if any, that neither relate to the ordinary course of Aetna's business nor reflect Aetna's underlying business performance. Although the excluded items may recur, management believes that operating earnings, operating earnings per share, operating revenue, adjusted operating expenses and the adjusted operating expense ratio provide a more useful comparison of Aetna's underlying business performance from period to period. Operating earnings is the measure reported to the Chief Executive Officer for purposes of assessing financial performance and making operating decisions, such as the allocation of resources among Aetna's business segments. Non-GAAP financial measures Aetna discloses, such as operating earnings, operating earnings per share, operating revenue, adjusted operating expenses, pretax operating margin and the adjusted operating expense ratio, should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined or calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

For the periods covered in this press release, the following items are excluded from operating earnings, adjusted operating expenses and operating revenue, as applicable, because Aetna believes they neither relate to the ordinary course of Aetna's business nor reflect Aetna's underlying business performance:
•
Aetna incurred transaction and integration-related costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, related to the acquisitions of Coventry Health Care, Inc. (“Coventry”) and bswift LLC ("bswift") and the Humana Acquisition. Aetna incurred transaction and integration-related costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, related to the acquisitions of Coventry, the InterGlobal Group ("InterGlobal") and bswift. Transaction costs include advisory, legal and other professional fees which are not deductible for tax purposes and are reflected in Aetna's GAAP Consolidated Statements of Income in general and administrative expenses, as well as the cost of the Bridge Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement executed in connection with the Humana Acquisition, which are reflected in Aetna's GAAP Consolidated Statements of Income in interest expense. Transaction costs also include the negative cost of carry associated with the debt financing that Aetna obtained in June 2016 for the Humana Acquisition. Prior to the closing of the Humana Acquisition, the negative cost of carry associated with the June 2016 debt financing is excluded from operating earnings. The components of the negative cost of carry are reflected in Aetna's GAAP Consolidated Statements of Income in interest expense and net investment income. On and after the closing of the Humana Acquisition, the interest expense and net investment income associated with the June 2016 debt financing no longer will be excluded from operating earnings.
•
In 1993, Aetna discontinued the sale of fully guaranteed large case pensions products and established a reserve for anticipated future losses on these products, which Aetna reviews quarterly. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we reduced the reserve for anticipated future losses on discontinued products. Aetna believes excluding any changes in the reserve for anticipated future losses on discontinued products from operating earnings provides more useful information as to Aetna's continuing products and is consistent with the treatment of the operating results of these discontinued products, which are credited or charged to the reserve and do not affect Aetna's operating results.
•
In the three months ended June 30, 2015, Aetna received proceeds, net of legal costs, in connection with a litigation settlement. These net proceeds were recorded in fees and other revenue in Aetna's GAAP Consolidated Statements of Income.
•
Other acquired intangible assets relate to Aetna's acquisition activities and are amortized over their useful lives. However, this amortization does not directly relate to the underwriting or servicing of products for customers and is not directly related to the core performance of Aetna's business operations.
•
Net realized capital gains and losses arise from various types of transactions, primarily in the course of managing a portfolio of assets that support the payment of liabilities. However, these transactions do not directly relate to the underwriting or servicing of products for customers and are not directly related to the core performance of Aetna's business operations.
•
The corresponding tax benefit or expense related to the items excluded from operating earnings discussed above.

For a reconciliation of these items to financial measures calculated under GAAP, refer to the tables on pages 10 through 13 of this press release.

(3) Operating revenue excludes net realized capital gains and losses, litigation-related proceeds and interest income on the proceeds of the transaction-related June 2016 debt as noted in (2) above. Refer to the tables on pages 11 through 13 of this press release for a reconciliation of operating revenue to total revenue calculated under GAAP.



Aetna/15

(4) Projected full-year 2016 net income and operating earnings per share reflect approximately 354 million weighted average diluted shares. Projected full-year 2016 operating earnings per share exclude from net income estimated amortization of other acquired intangible assets, projected integration-related costs related to the Coventry and bswift acquisitions and the Humana Acquisition, projected transaction-related costs (including projected litigation costs) related to the Humana Acquisition, projected net realized capital gains and losses, other items, if any, that neither relate to the ordinary course of Aetna's business nor reflect Aetna's underlying business performance and the corresponding tax benefit or expense related to the items excluded from operating earnings per share discussed above. Amortization of other acquired intangible assets relates to Aetna's acquisition activities, including Coventry, InterGlobal and bswift. The table below reconciles projected 2016 operating earnings per share to projected 2016 net income per share:

Aetna will experience net realized capital gains or net realized capital losses during the remainder of 2016, however Aetna cannot project the amount of such future gains or losses. Therefore, Aetna has assumed no net realized capital gains or losses after June 30, 2016 for purposes of projecting net income and net income per share. Aetna's annual net realized capital gains or losses ranged from a net realized capital loss of $64.5 million to a net realized capital gain of $80.4 million during calendar years 2013 through 2015.

(5) The adjusted operating expense ratio excludes net realized capital gains and losses and other items, if any, that are excluded from operating revenue or adjusted operating expenses, as noted in (2) above. For a reconciliation of this metric to the comparable GAAP measure for the periods covered by this press release, refer to page 12 of this press release.

(6) In order to provide useful information regarding Aetna's profitability on a basis comparable to others in the industry, without regard to financing decisions, income taxes or amortization of other acquired intangible assets (each of which may vary for reasons not directly related to the performance of the underlying business), Aetna's pretax operating margin is based on operating earnings excluding interest expense and income taxes. Management also uses pretax operating margin to assess Aetna's performance, including performance versus competitors.

(7) Operating revenue and adjusted operating expense information is presented before income taxes. Operating earnings information is presented net of income taxes.

(8) Aetna's Corporate Financing segment is not a business segment. It is added to Aetna's business segments to reconcile segment reporting to Aetna's consolidated results. The net loss of the Corporate Financing segment includes interest expense on Aetna's outstanding debt and the financing components of Aetna's pension and other postretirement employee benefit plan expenses (benefits). As described in (2) above, the operating earnings of the Corporate Financing segment exclude other items, if any, that neither relate to the ordinary course of Aetna's business nor reflect Aetna's underlying business performance.

(9) Days Claims Payable is calculated by dividing the health care costs payable at each quarter end by the average health care costs per day in each respective quarter. The Total Debt to Consolidated Capitalization Ratio is calculated by dividing total long-term debt and short-term debt ("Total Debt") by the sum of Total Debt and total Aetna shareholders' equity.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “explore,” “evaluate,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” or “will,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology.  These forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Aetna’s and Humana’s control.

Statements in this press release regarding Aetna that are forward-looking, including Aetna’s projections as to net income per share, operating earnings per share, plans for future participation on public health insurance exchanges, operating performance for the remainder of 2016, amortization of other acquired intangible assets and weighted average diluted shares, are based on management’s estimates, assumptions and projections, and are subject to significant uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond Aetna’s and Humana’s control. Important risk factors could cause actual future results and other future events to differ materially from those currently estimated by management, including, but not limited to: the timing to consummate


Aetna/16

Aetna’s proposed acquisition of Humana (the “Humana Acquisition”); the timing and resolution of the Department of Justice litigation relating to the Humana Acquisition; the timing to consummate the proposed divestitures of certain of Aetna’s and Humana’s Medicare Advantage assets (collectively, the “Divestitures”); the risk that a condition to closing of the Humana Acquisition and/or the Divestitures may not be satisfied; the risk that a regulatory approval that may be required for the Humana Acquisition and/or the Divestitures is delayed, is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the outcome of various litigation matters related to the Humana Acquisition; Aetna’s ability to achieve the synergies and value creation projected to be realized following the completion of the Humana Acquisition; Aetna’s ability to promptly and effectively integrate Humana’s businesses; the diversion of management time on Humana Acquisition-related and/or Divestiture-related issues; the profitability of Aetna’s and Humana’s public health insurance exchange and ACA compliant small group products, where membership has had and may continue to have more adverse health status and/or higher medical benefit utilization than Aetna and/or Humana projected; unanticipated increases in medical costs (including increased intensity or medical utilization as a result of flu or otherwise; changes in membership mix to higher cost or lower-premium products or membership adverse selection; medical cost increases resulting from unfavorable changes in contracting or re-contracting with providers (including as a result of provider consolidation and/or integration); and increased pharmacy costs (including in Aetna’s and/or Humana’s public health insurance exchange products)); uncertainty related to Aetna’s and Humana’s accruals for health care reform’s reinsurance, risk adjustment and risk corridor programs (“3R’s”); uncertainty related to the funding for and final reconciliations with respect to health care reform's risk management and subsidy programs; the implementation of health care reform legislation, including collection of health care reform fees, assessments and taxes through increased premiums; adverse legislative, regulatory and/or judicial changes to or interpretations of existing health care reform legislation and/or regulations (including those relating to minimum medical loss ratio (“MLR”) rebates); the implementation of health insurance exchanges; Aetna’s and Humana’s ability to offset Medicare Advantage and PDP rate pressures; and changes in Aetna’s and Humana’s future cash requirements, capital requirements, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. Health care reform will continue to significantly impact Aetna’s business operations and financial results, including Aetna’s pricing and medical benefit ratios. Key components of the legislation will continue to be phased in through 2020, and Aetna will be required to dedicate material resources and incur material expenses during 2016 to implement health care reform. Significant parts of the legislation, including aspects of public health insurance exchanges, nondiscrimination requirements, reinsurance, risk corridor and risk adjustment, continue to evolve through the promulgation of regulations and guidance at the federal level. In addition, pending efforts in the U.S. Congress to amend or restrict funding for various aspects of health care reform and pending litigation challenging aspects of the law continue to create additional uncertainty about the ultimate impact of health care reform. As a result, many of the impacts of health care reform will not be known for the next several years. Other important risk factors include: adverse changes in health care reform and/or other federal or state government policies or regulations as a result of health care reform or otherwise (including legislative, judicial or regulatory measures that would affect Aetna’s and/or Humana’s business model, restrict funding for or amend various aspects of health care reform, limit Aetna’s and/or Humana’s ability to price for the risk it assumes and/or reflect reasonable costs or profits in its pricing, such as mandated minimum medical benefit ratios, or eliminate or reduce ERISA pre-emption of state laws (increasing Aetna’s and/or Humana’s potential litigation exposure)); adverse and less predictable economic conditions in the U.S. and abroad (including unanticipated levels of, or increases in the rate of, unemployment); reputational or financial issues arising from Aetna’s and/or Humana’s social media activities, data security breaches, other cybersecurity risks or other causes; Aetna’s ability to diversify Aetna’s sources of revenue and earnings (including by developing, operating and expanding Aetna's consumer business and expanding Aetna’s foreign operations), transform Aetna’s business model, develop new products and optimize Aetna’s business platforms; the success of Aetna’s Healthagen® (including Accountable Care Solutions and health information technology) initiatives; adverse changes in size, product or geographic mix or medical cost experience of membership; managing executive succession and key talent retention, recruitment and development; failure to achieve and/or delays in achieving desired rate increases and/or profitable membership growth due to regulatory review or other regulatory restrictions, the difficult economy and/or significant competition, especially in key geographic areas where membership is concentrated, including successful protests of business awarded to Aetna and/or Humana; failure to adequately implement health care reform; the outcome of various litigation and regulatory matters, including audits, challenges to Aetna’s and/or Humana’s minimum MLR rebate methodology and/or reports, guaranty fund assessments, intellectual property litigation and litigation concerning, and ongoing reviews by various regulatory authorities of, certain of Aetna’s and/or Humana’s payment practices with respect to out-of-network providers, other providers and/or life insurance policies; Aetna’s ability to integrate, simplify, and enhance Aetna’s existing products, processes and information technology systems and platforms to keep pace with changing customer and regulatory needs; Aetna’s ability to successfully integrate Aetna’s businesses (including Humana, Coventry, bswift LLC and other businesses Aetna may acquire in the future) and implement multiple strategic and operational initiatives (including the Divestitures) simultaneously; Aetna’s and/or Humana’s ability to manage health care and other benefit costs; adverse program, pricing, funding or audit actions by federal or state government payors, including as a result of sequestration and/or curtailment or elimination of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ star rating bonus payments; Aetna’s ability to reduce administrative expenses while maintaining targeted levels of service and operating performance; failure by a service provider to meet its obligations to Aetna or Humana; Aetna’s and Humana’s ability to develop and maintain relationships (including collaborative risk-sharing agreements) with providers while taking actions to reduce medical costs and/or expand the services each company offers; Aetna’s ability to demonstrate that Aetna’s products and processes lead to access to quality affordable care by Aetna’s members; Aetna’s and/or Humana’s ability to maintain their relationships with third-party brokers, consultants and agents who sell their products; increases in medical costs or Group Insurance claims resulting from any epidemics, acts of terrorism or other extreme events; changes in medical cost estimates due to the necessary extensive judgment that is used in the medical cost estimation process, the considerable variability inherent in such estimates, and the sensitivity of such estimates to changes in medical claims payment patterns and changes in medical cost trends; a downgrade in Aetna’s financial ratings; and adverse impacts from any failure to raise the U.S.
