Third quarter GAAP diluted loss per share of $3.13 reflects a $5.7 billion goodwill impairment charge related to the Health Care Delivery reporting unit, partially offset by a gain of $483 million on the deconsolidation of Omnicare, LLC ("Omnicare") in connection with the initiation of Omnicare's voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings. Adjusted EPS of $1.60 increased from $1.09 in the prior year primarily due to improved adjusted operating income in the Health Care Benefits segment.
The Company's full-year 2025 guidance updates reflect third quarter performance in the Health Care Benefits and Pharmacy & Consumer Wellness segments, partially offset by a decrease in the Health Services segment.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year:
•Total revenues increased 7.8% driven by revenue growth across all operating segments.
•During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred an operating loss of $3.2 billion compared to operating income of $832 million in the prior year. The difference was primarily driven by the $5.7 billion goodwill impairment charge related to the Health Care Delivery reporting unit, partially offset by the absence of approximately $1.2 billion of restructuring charges recorded in the prior year and the increase in adjusted operating income described below.
•Adjusted operating income increased 35.8% driven by an increase in the Health Care Benefits segment, partially offset by declines in the Health Services and Pharmacy & Consumer Wellness segments. See pages 3 through 5 for additional discussion of the adjusted operating income performance of the Company's segments.
•Interest expense increased $32 million, or 4.3%, due to higher debt in the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily as a result of long-term debt issued in December of 2024 and August of 2025.
•The effective income tax rate was (14.6)% compared to 32.4% in the prior year primarily due to the $5.7 billion goodwill impairment charge recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2025, which was not deductible for income tax purposes.
Operational Highlights
•More than 81% of Aetna Medicare Advantage members are in 2026 Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plans that are rated 4 stars or higher (out of 5 stars) by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Additionally, more than 63% of Aetna Medicare Advantage members are in a 4.5-star plan for 2026.
•During the third quarter, the Company launched its annual vaccination campaign, with updated flu and COVID-19 vaccines now available at CVS Pharmacy and MinuteClinic locations nationwide.
Goodwill Impairment
During 2025, the Company's Health Care Delivery reporting unit within the Health Services segment has continued to experience challenges which have impacted its ability to grow the business at the rate previously estimated. The Company made a number of changes to its Health Care Delivery management team during 2025 and during the third quarter of 2025, finalized certain strategic changes, including the determination that it would reduce the number of new primary care clinics it would open in 2026 and thereafter. Upon updating its financial projections to reflect these changes, management determined that there were indicators that the Health Care Delivery reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired and, accordingly, an interim goodwill impairment test was performed. The results of the impairment test showed that the fair value of the Health Care Delivery reporting unit was lower than its carrying value, resulting in a $5.7 billion goodwill impairment charge.

Health Care Benefits segment
The Health Care Benefits segment offers a full range of insured and self-insured ("ASC") medical, pharmacy, dental and behavioral health products and services. The segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

•Total revenues increased 9.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year primarily driven by increases in the Government business, largely due to the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") on the Medicare Part D program.
•During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Health Care Benefits segment had adjusted operating income of $314 million compared to an adjusted operating loss of $924 million in the prior year. The change was primarily driven by the favorable year-over-year impact of premium deficiency reserves, higher favorable prior period development and improved underlying performance in the Government business. These increases were partially offset by changes in the seasonality of the Medicare Part D program due to the impact of the IRA and the impact of higher acuity in the individual exchange product line.
•The MBR decreased to 92.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 95.2% in the prior year driven by the favorable year-over-year impact of premium deficiency reserves recorded as health care costs, higher favorable prior period development and improved underlying performance in the Government business. These decreases were partially offset by changes in the seasonality of the Medicare Part D program due to the impact of the IRA and the impact of higher acuity in the individual exchange product line.
•Medical membership as of September 30, 2025 of 26.7 million remained consistent compared with June 30, 2025.
•Prior years' health care costs payable estimates developed favorably by $1.9 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This development is reported on a basis consistent with the prior years' development reported in the health care costs payable table in the Company's annual audited financial statements and does not directly correspond to an increase in 2025 operating results.
•Days claims payable were 42.5 days as of September 30, 2025, an increase of 1.6 days compared to June 30, 2025.
See the supplemental information on page 18 for additional information regarding the performance of the Health Care Benefits segment.

•Total revenues increased 11.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year primarily driven by pharmacy drug mix and brand inflation, partially offset by continued pharmacy client price improvements.
