2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. We have omitted certain footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), unless the information contained in those disclosures materially changed or is required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 have been recorded. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026, or any other period. The seasonal nature of portions of our healthcare and related benefits business, as well as competitive and other market conditions, may cause full-year results to differ from estimates based upon our interim results of operations. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

~~-7-~~Certain of our subsidiaries operate outside of the United States and have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar (“USD”). We translate the assets and liabilities of those subsidiaries to USD using the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period. We translate the revenues and expenses of those subsidiaries to USD using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. The net effect of these translation adjustments is included in “Other” in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

We have omitted certain footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), unless the information contained in those disclosures materially changed or is required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 have been recorded. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026, or any other period. The seasonal nature of portions of our healthcare and related benefits business, as well as competitive and other market conditions, may cause full-year results to differ from estimates based upon our interim results of operations. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain of our subsidiaries operate outside of the United States and have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar (“USD”). We translate the assets and liabilities of those subsidiaries to USD using the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period. We translate the revenues and expenses of those subsidiaries to USD using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. The net effect of these translation adjustments is included in “Foreign currency translation adjustments” in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Reclassifications: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents includes available cash and all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. We control a number of bank accounts that are used exclusively to hold customer funds for the administration of customer benefits, and we have cash and cash equivalents on deposit to meet certain regulatory and contractual requirements. These amounts totaled $~~527~~668 and $348 at ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and are included in the cash and cash equivalents line on our consolidated balance sheets.

Investments: We classify fixed maturity securities in our investment portfolio as “available-for-sale” and report those securities at fair value. Certain fixed maturity securities are available to support current operations and, accordingly, we classify such investments as current assets without regard to their contractual maturity. Investments used to satisfy contractual, regulatory or other requirements are classified as long-term, without regard to contractual maturity.

If a fixed maturity security is in an unrealized loss position and we have the intent to sell the fixed maturity security, or it is more likely than not that we will have to sell the fixed maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we write down the fixed maturity security’s cost basis to fair value and record an impairment loss in our consolidated statements of income. For impaired fixed maturity securities that we do not intend to sell or if it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell such securities, but we expect that we will not fully recover the amortized cost basis, we recognize the credit component of the impairment as an allowance for credit loss in our consolidated balance sheets and record an impairment loss in our consolidated statements of income. The non-credit component of the impairment is recognized in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” Furthermore, unrealized losses entirely caused by non-credit-related factors related to fixed maturity securities for which we expect to fully recover the amortized cost basis continue to be recognized in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.”

The credit component of an impairment is determined primarily by comparing the net present value of projected future cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the fixed maturity security. The net present value is calculated by discounting our best estimate of projected future cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the fixed maturity security at the date of purchase. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, cash flow estimates are based on assumptions regarding the underlying collateral, including prepayment speeds, vintage, type of underlying asset, geographic concentrations, default rates, recoveries and changes in value. For all other securities, cash flow estimates are driven by assumptions regarding probability of default, including changes in credit ratings and estimates regarding timing and amount of recoveries associated with a default.

-89-

For asset-backed securities included in “Fixed maturity securities,” we recognize income using an effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities. When estimates of prepayments change, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments. The net investment in the securities is adjusted to the amount that would have existed had the new effective yield been applied since the purchase date of the securities. Such adjustments are reported within “Net investment income” in our consolidated statements of income.

The changes in fair value of our marketable equity securities are recognized in our results of operations within “Net losses on financial instruments.” Certain marketable equity securities are held to satisfy contractual obligations and are reported under the caption “Other invested assets” in our consolidated balance sheets.

We have investments in limited partnerships (“LPs”) and companies in which our ownership interest may enable us to influence the operating or financial decisions of the investee company, including unconsolidated variable interest entities. These investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are reported within “Other invested assets” in our consolidated balance sheets. Our proportionate share of equity in net income (loss) for these LPs and unconsolidated investee companies is reported within “Net investment income” in our consolidated statements of income. The carrying value of these investments ~~are~~is written down, or impaired, to fair value when a decline in value is considered to be other-than temporary. In applying the equity method (including assessment for other-than temporary impairment), we use financial information provided by the LPs and investee companies, generally on a one-to three-month lag. We consolidate investee companies in certain other instances where it is deemed to exercise control or is considered the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.

Mortgage loans on real estate are classified as held for investment and are reported at their amortized cost basis net of loss allowance under the caption “Other invested assets” in our consolidated balance sheets. Amortized cost is the amount at which the loan is originated, adjusted for accrued interest, amortization of premium, discount and net deferred fees or costs, collection of cash and write-offs.

We have corporate-owned life insurance policies on certain participants in our deferred compensation plans and other members of management. The cash surrender value of the corporate-owned life insurance policies is reported under the caption “Other invested assets” in our consolidated balance sheets.

Investment income is recorded when earned. All securities sold resulting in investment realized gains and losses are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of the cost or amortized cost of the specific securities sold.

We participate in securities lending programs whereby marketable securities in our investment portfolio are transferred to independent brokers or dealers in exchange for cash and securities collateral. Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance related to accounting for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities, we recognize the collateral as an asset, which is reported in “Other current assets” in our consolidated balance sheets, and we record a corresponding liability for the obligation to return the collateral to the borrower, which is reported under the caption “Other current liabilities.” The securities on loan are reported in the applicable investment category in our consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains or losses on securities lending collateral are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The market value of loaned securities and that of the collateral pledged can fluctuate in non-synchronized fashions. To the extent the loaned securities’ value appreciates faster or depreciates slower than the value of the collateral pledged, we are exposed to the risk of the shortfall. As a primary mitigating mechanism, the loaned securities and collateral pledged are marked to market on a daily basis and the shortfall, if any, is collected accordingly. Secondarily, the collateral level is set at 102% of the value of the loaned securities, which provides a cushion before any shortfall arises. The investment of the cash collateral is subject to market risk, which is managed by limiting the investments to higher quality and shorter duration instruments.

-910-

Receivables: Receivables are reported net of amounts for expected credit losses. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on historical collection trends, future forecasts and our judgment regarding the ability to collect specific accounts.

Premium receivables include the uncollected amounts from insured groups, individuals and government programs. Premium receivables are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $~~205~~187 and $167 at ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Self-funded receivables include administrative fees, claims and other amounts due from fee-based customers. Self-funded receivables are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $~~145~~153 and $145 at ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Other receivables include pharmacy rebates, provider advances, claims recoveries, reinsurance receivables, proceeds due from brokers on investment trades that have not yet settled, accrued investment income and other miscellaneous amounts due to us. These receivables are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,~~618~~737 and $1,509 at ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we realized a $209 settlement with a value-based care provider, which allowed us to release $129 from the allowance for doubtful accounts. Of the settlement amount, $154 pertained to services rendered in 2024.

Revenue Recognition: Premiums for risk-based contracts are recognized as revenue over the period insurance coverage is provided, and, if applicable, net of amounts recognized for medical loss ratio rebates, risk adjustment, reinsurance and risk corridor under contractual premium stabilization arrangements, the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) or other regulatory requirements. Premiums may also include performance incentives and penalties, which are recognized based on contractual terms. We estimate amounts receivable and payable under these contractual terms, and to the extent that such estimated amounts vary from the final amounts paid, the adjustments are included in earnings in the period of final settlement. Premium payments from contracted government agencies are based on eligibility lists produced by the government agencies. Premium payments related to the unexpired contractual coverage periods are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as “Unearned income”. Premiums include revenue adjustments for retrospectively rated contracts where revenue is based on the estimated loss experience of the contract. Premium rates for certain lines of business are subject to approval by the Department of Insurance of each respective state. Additionally, delays in annual premium rate changes from contracted government agencies require that we defer the recognition of any increases to the period in which the premium rates become final. The value of the impact can be significant in the period in which it is recognized depending on the magnitude of the premium rate increase, the membership to which it applies and the length of the delay between the effective date of the rate increase and the final contract date. Premium rate decreases are recognized in the period the change in premium rate becomes effective and the change in the rate is known, which may be prior to the period when the contract amendment affecting the rate is finalized.

We also record premiums for certain value-based arrangements of our Carelon Services care delivery businesses. Under these value-based arrangements, we carry financial responsibility across medical claims costs through risk contracts with health plans in which we deliver, integrate, direct and control certain healthcare services for patients. In exchange, we receive a premium that is typically paid on a per-patient per-month basis and performance-based payments that are recognized when performance metrics are achieved. We consider these value-based arrangements to represent a single performance obligation where revenues are recognized in the period in which healthcare services are made available.

Service fees include revenue from certain group contracts that provide for the group to be at risk for all or, with supplemental insurance arrangements, a portion, of their claims experience. We charge these fee-based groups an administrative fee, which is based on the number of members in a group and the group’s claim experience. In addition, service fees include amounts received for the administration of Medicare, certain other government programs, and administrative services arrangements of our Carelon subsidiaries. Generally, each fee-based arrangement includes services which constitute a single suite of services provided and for which consideration is based upon an agreed-upon rate, regardless of the amount of services provided in a given period. As with premiums, each fee-based arrangement may include terms with retroactive rate or membership adjustments, performance incentives and penalties, each of which is a form of variable consideration within the transaction price. As such, each fee-based arrangement contains a single performance obligation that constitutes a series, and revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. All benefit payments under these programs are excluded from benefit expense.

The determination of whether services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or combined as one unit of accounting may require significant judgment. The estimation of variable consideration to be

-10-

recognized requires significant judgment in the determination of the level of achievement of performance incentives, service level achievements subject to performance penalties, and the completion level of tasks subject to implementation fees.

Product revenue represents services performed by CarelonRx for unaffiliated pharmacy customers and includes ingredient costs (net of any rebates or discounts), including co-payments made by or on behalf of the customer, and service fees. Unaffiliated pharmacy customers include our fee-based groups that have contracted with CarelonRx for pharmacy services and third-party health plans. Product revenues and costs of goods sold for our affiliated health plans are eliminated in consolidation, excluding co-payments and subsidies made by or on behalf of affiliated customers. Product revenue for pharmacy services is recognized using the gross method at the negotiated contract price when CarelonRx has concluded that it is the principal, and it controls the services before prescription drugs are transferred to the customer. CarelonRx determines whether it is the principal due to its contractual rights to design and develop a listing of prescription drugs offered to the customer (formulary management); its control over establishing the pharmacy network available to the customer to have its prescription fulfilled (network management); and its discretion over establishing the pricing for prescription drugs. Overall, control over these activities indicate CarelonRx is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide pharmacy services. CarelonRx recognizes revenue when control of the prescription drugs is transferred to customers, in an amount it expects to be entitled to in exchange for the products or services provided.

For our non-risk-based contracts, we had no material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods, such as due to changes in transaction price, was not material. For contracts that have an original, expected duration of greater than one year, revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to unfulfilled contractual performance obligations and contracts with variable consideration related to undelivered performance obligations is not material.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance: In July 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”). This standard introduces a practical expedient for all entities when estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets arising from transactions under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606. Under the practical expedient, entities may assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset, reducing the need to prepare complex macroeconomic forecasts for short-term balances. ASU 2025-05 became effective for our fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within such fiscal years, with prospective application required. We adopted these amendments on January 1, 2026 and applied the amendments on a prospective basis.The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted: In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). This standard requires additional expense breakdowns in the footnotes for items such as inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Public companies must also provide a qualitative description of remaining expense amounts not separately disclosed, as well as the definition and total amount of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for our fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within our fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments are to be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the update, or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the effects the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”). This standard modernizes the accounting for internal-use software by removing references to prescriptive development stages and instead requiring capitalization of costs once (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (2) it is probable the project will be completed and placed in service. Entities must evaluate whether there is “significant development uncertainty,” such as unresolved novel functionality or substantially revised performance requirements, before meeting this capitalization threshold. ASU 2025-06 is effective for our fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within such fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Entities may

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods, such as due to changes in transaction price, was not material. For contracts that have an original, expected duration of greater than one year, revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to unfulfilled contractual performance obligations and contracts with variable consideration related to undelivered performance obligations is not material.

3. Operating Model Transformation

In the first quarter of 2026, based on a strategic review of our operations, assets and investments, management implemented the 2026 - 2027 Operating Model Transformation Program (the “Transformation Program”) to streamline decision-making, simplify organizational structures, and enhance the use of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, across the enterprise. The Transformation Program includes initiatives to reduce organizational layers, realign roles and responsibilities, and design workflows to support more efficient, technology-enabled operations. These actions also include the modernization of certain information technology platforms, targeted workforce reductions and role realignments. Actions to be taken under the Transformation Program were ongoing as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2026. Cash outlays associated with this program, which primarily relate to the personnel-related costs, are expected to be paid through 2028.

InDuring the ~~first~~six ~~quarter~~months ofended June 30, 2026, we incurred $129 of costs towards the Transformation Program, primarily for personnel-related charges for the reduction and/or relocation of staff, which included severance and related costs. These charges were recognized as operating expense in the Corporate & Other segment.

The ending liability balance related to the employee termination costs under the Transformation Program at ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 ~~were~~was $~~127~~114, which included acharges of $~~128~~129 ~~charge recognized during the quarter~~ and payments of $115 made during the ~~quarter~~six months ended June 30, 2026.

Unrealized losses on our securities shown in the table above have not been recognized into income because, as of June 30, 2026, we do not intend to sell these investments and it is likely that we will not be required to sell these investments prior to their anticipated recovery. The declines in fair values are largely due to elevated interest rates driven by the higher rate of inflation and other market conditions.

Allowances for credit losses have been recorded in the amount of $55 and $21 at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, for declines in fair value due to unfavorable changes in the credit quality characteristics that impact our assessment of collectability of principal and interest.

A primary objective in the management of our fixed maturity and equity portfolios is to maximize total return relative to underlying liabilities and respective liquidity needs. In achieving this goal, assets may be sold to take advantage of market conditions or other investment opportunities as well as tax considerations. Sales will generally produce realized gains and losses. In the ordinary course of business, we may sell securities at a loss for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to: (i) changes in the investment environment; (ii) expectations that the fair value could deteriorate further; (iii) desire to reduce exposure to an issuer or an industry; (iv) changes in credit quality; or (v) changes in expected cash flow.

~~Total~~During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we received total proceeds from sales, maturities, calls or redemptions of fixed maturity securities ~~were~~of $2,~~942~~854 and $35,~~338~~796, ~~for~~respectively. During the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, ~~2026~~2025, we received total proceeds from sales, maturities, calls or redemptions of fixed maturity securities of $2,682 and ~~2025~~$6,021, respectively.

Accrued Investment Income

At ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025, accrued investment income totaled $~~299~~322 and $295, respectively. We recognize accrued investment income under the caption “Other receivables” on our consolidated balance sheets.

Securities Lending Programs

The fair value of the cash and securities received as collateral for securities loaned at ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $32,~~004~~833 and $2,691, respectively. The collateral received was 102% of the market value of the loaned securities at each of ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

We recognize the collateral as an asset under the caption “Other current assets” in our consolidated balance sheets, and we recognize a corresponding liability for the obligation to return the collateral to the borrower under the caption “Other current liabilities.” The securities on loan are reported in the applicable investment category on our consolidated balance sheets.

At ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the remaining contractual maturities of our securities lending transactions included overnight and continuous transactions of cash for $2,~~199~~171 and $2,136, respectively, United States Government securities for $~~780~~658 and $552, respectively, and residential mortgage-backed securities for $254 and $3, respectively.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

We primarily invest in the following types of derivative financial instruments: interest rate swaps, futures, forward contracts, put and call options, collars, swaptions, embedded derivatives and warrants. We also enter into master netting agreements, which reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of transactions. We posted collateral of $980 and received collateral of $34 related to our derivative financial instruments at ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

We have entered into various interest rate swap contracts to convert a portion of our interest rate exposure on our long-term debt from fixed rates to floating rates. The floating rates payable on all of our fair value hedges are benchmarked to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). These derivatives are recorded at fair value and are included in the captions “Other current assets,” “Other noncurrent assets,” “Other current liabilities” or “Other noncurrent liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheets, as applicable.

The unrecognized loss, net of tax, for all expired and terminated interest rate cash flow hedges included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in our consolidated balance sheets was $~~190~~187 and $192 as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

During both the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026, we recognized net ~~gains~~losses of $120 on non-hedging derivatives included in “Net losses on financial instruments” in our consolidated income statements. During the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, we recognized net gains of $0 and net losses of $2, respectively, on non-hedging derivatives included in “Net losses on financial instruments” in our consolidated income statement.

In connection with our equity investment in Mosaic Health (see Note 4, “Investments”), we entered into a limited partnership and related agreements with the majority owners that provide for certain rights and obligations of each party, including certain put, call, and purchase price true-up options. These options, if exercised, will result in our purchase of the units held by the majority owners as early as 2028 but no later than 2030 at a price based on certain multiples of revenue and earnings of Mosaic Health businesses, subject to various adjustments and qualifications. At inception, we calculated the fair value of the net put option, which is a Level III measurement (see Note 6, “Fair Value”), using a Monte Carlo simulation, which relies on assumptions including cash flow projections, risk18-free rates, volatility and details specific to the options. Significant changes in assumptions could result in significantly lower or higher fair value measurements. The carrying value of the net put option of $1,330, which is a non-cash item originally measured at fair value, is included under the caption “Other noncurrent liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026. We have elected to not mark the net put option to market, as it is an option on large blocks of equity securities, and the carrying value of the net put option will remain on the consolidated balance sheets until it is exercised, expires, or the terms are substantially amended.

In connection with our equity investment in Liberty Dental (see Note 4, “Investments”), we entered into an agreement with the majority owners that provides for certain rights and obligations of each party, including certain put and call options. These options, if exercised, will result in our purchase of the units held by the majority owners as early as the third quarter of 2026, but no later than fourth quarter of 2027 at a price based on certain multiples of earnings of Liberty Dental, subject to various adjustments and qualifications. We have calculated the fair value of the net put option, which is a Level III measurement (see Note 6, “Fair Value”), based on assumptions including cash flow projections, risk-free rates, volatility and details specific to the options. Significant changes in assumptions could result in significantly lower or higher fair value measurements. The carrying value of the net put option of $396, which is a non-cash item originally measured at fair value, is included under the caption “Other noncurrent liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026. We have elected to not mark the net put option to market, as it is an option on large blocks of equity securities, and the carrying value of the net put option will remain on the consolidated balance sheets until it is exercised, expires, or the terms are substantially amended.

For additional information relating to the fair value of our derivative assets and liabilities, see Note 6, “Fair Value,” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

6. Fair Value

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. These assets and liabilities are classified into one of three levels of hierarchy defined by GAAP.

-18-

For a description of the methods and assumptions that are used to estimate and determine the fair value hierarchy classification for each class of financial instruments, see Note 7, “Fair Value,” to our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in Part II, Item 8 of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

There were no individually material transfers into or out of Level III during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025. There were no adjustments to quoted market prices obtained from the pricing services during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. The fair values of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in certain business acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were finalized based on a valuation performed using the income approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on the present value of the cash flows that the assets could be expected to generate in the future. We developed internal estimates for the expected cash flows and discount rate in the present value calculation.

As discussed in more detail within Note 4, “Investments”, we entered into agreements that included certain put and call options associated with our minority interest ownership of Mosaic Health in 2024 and Liberty Dental in 2023 (as amended in 2025). The resulting net put option liabilities were recorded at their fair values measured at the dates of acquisition using Level III inputs with an election not to mark the derivative to market, which is further discussed and disclosed in Note 5, “Derivative Financial Instruments”. The net put option fair value for Mosaic Health was $2,~~699~~736 and $2,717 at ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The net put option fair value for Liberty Dental was $~~341~~352 and $327 at ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Other than the goodwill and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our business acquisitions and the net put options on Mosaic Health and Liberty Dental, there were no material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 or 2025.

In addition to the preceding disclosures on assets recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, FASB guidance also requires the disclosure of fair values for certain other financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, whether or not such values are recognized in our consolidated balance sheets.

Non-financial instruments such as property and equipment, other current assets, deferred income taxes, intangible assets and certain financial instruments, such as limited partnerships, joint ventures, other non-controlled corporations, corporate-owned life insurance policies, and policy liabilities, are excluded from the fair value disclosures. Therefore, the fair value amounts cannot be aggregated to determine our underlying economic value.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, premium receivables, self-funded receivables, other receivables, unearned income, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and certain other current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. These assets and liabilities are not listed in the table below.

See Note 7, “Fair Value,” to our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in Part II, Item 8 of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for details on the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value for each class of financial instruments that are recorded at their carrying value in our consolidated balance sheets.

7. Income Taxes

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized income tax expense of $544 and $613, respectively, which represent effective income tax rates of 23.6% and 21.9%, respectively. The increase in our effective income tax rate compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to a current year increase in our reserves for uncertain tax positions and prior year favorable resolution of uncertain tax positions.

Income taxes netted to a payable of $208 at March 31, 2026 and a receivable of $436 at December 31, 2025. We recognized income taxes receivable of $776 and $587 as an asset under the caption “Other current assets” and income taxes payable of $984 and $151 as a liability under the caption “Other current liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

The favorable development recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2025 resulted from faster than expected development of completion factors from the latter part of 2024 as well as smaller but significant contribution from trend factors in late 2024 developing more favorably than originally expected.

The favorable development recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2026 resulted from both favorable trend and completion factor development from 2025.

The favorable development recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2025 resulted from trend factors in late 2024 developing more favorably than originally expected as well as a smaller contribution from faster than expected development of completion factors from the latter part of 2024.

Short-term borrowings

We have a senior revolving credit facility (the “5-Year Facility”) with a group of lenders for general corporate purposes.

The 5-Year Facility provides credit of $5,000 and matures in September 2030. In addition, we have an authorized commercial

paper program of up to $5,000, the proceeds of which may be used for general corporate purposes. We also maintain borrowing arrangements with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (collectively, the “FHLBs”), under which we may obtain advances.

The following table summarizes our outstanding short-term borrowings and ~~our~~ advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (collectively, the “FHLBs”), as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings

We are defendants in, or parties to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions or proceedings. To the extent a plaintiff or plaintiffs in the following cases have specified in their complaint or in other court filings the amount of damages being sought, we have noted those alleged damages in the descriptions below.

Where available information indicates that it is probable that a loss has been incurred as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and we can reasonably estimate the amount of that loss, we accrue the estimated loss by a charge to income. In many proceedings, however, it is difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or reasonably possible. In addition, even where loss is possible or probable or an exposure to loss exists in excess of the liability already accrued with respect to a previously identified loss contingency, it is not always possible to reasonably estimate the amount of the possible or probable loss or range of losses in excess of the amount, if any, accrued, for various reasons, including but not limited to some or all of the following: (i) there are novel or unsettled legal issues presented, (ii) the proceedings are in early stages, (iii) there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or decertified or the ultimate size and scope of the class, (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions, (v) there are significant factual issues to be resolved, and/or (vi) in many cases, the plaintiffs have not specified damages in their complaint or in court filings.

With respect to the cases described below, we contest the liability and/or the amount of damages in each matter, and we believe we have meritorious defenses. We do not believe the outcome of any known pending or threatened legal actions or proceedings will, in the aggregate, have a material impact on our financial position. However, unanticipated outcomes do sometimes occur, which could result in liabilities in excess of our accruals and could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In addition to the lawsuits described below, we are also involved in other pending and threatened litigation of the character incidental to our business and are from time to time involved as a party in various governmental investigations, audits, reviews and administrative proceedings (“government actions”). These government actions include routine and special inquiries by and disclosures to state insurance departments, state attorneys general, U.S. Regulatory Agencies, the U.S. Attorney General and subcommittees of the U.S. Congress. Such government actions could result in the imposition of civil or criminal fines, penalties, other sanctions and additional rules, regulations or other restrictions on our business operations. Any liability that may result from any one of these government actions individually, or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Blue Cross Blue Shield Antitrust Litigation

We have been a defendant in multiple lawsuits that were initially filed in 2012 against the BCBSA and Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield licensees (the “Blue plans”) across the country. These cases were consolidated into a single, multi-district proceeding captioned In re Blue Cross Blue Shield Antitrust Litigation (the “BCBSA Litigation”) that is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama (the “Court”). Generally, the suits allege that the BCBSA and the Blue plans have conspired to horizontally allocate geographic markets through license agreements, best efforts rules that limit the percentage of non-Blue revenue of each plan, restrictions on acquisitions, rules governing the BlueCard® and National Accounts programs and other arrangements in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act and related state laws. The cases were brought by two putative nationwide classes of plaintiffs, health plan subscribers and providers.

The BCBSA and Blue plans approved and entered into a settlement agreement and release with the subscriber plaintiffs (the “Subscriber Settlement Agreement”), ~~which~~and ~~received~~a ~~final~~separate ~~approval~~settlement ~~from~~agreement ~~the~~and ~~Court~~release inwith ~~September 2022. The ultimate amount paid by~~ the ~~Company~~provider ~~under~~plaintiffs (the ~~Subscriber~~“Provider Settlement Agreement”) ~~was $604,~~ which ~~was~~settlement ~~accrued~~received infinal ~~2020.~~approval ~~The~~from ~~Subscriber~~the ~~Settlement~~Court ~~Agreement~~in ~~and~~September ~~the~~2022 ~~defendants' payment~~ and ~~non-monetary~~August ~~obligations~~2025, ~~under~~respectively. ~~the Subscriber Settlement Agreement became~~

A number of follow-24on cases involving entities that opted out of the Subscriber Settlement Agreement have been filed and remain pending. Those actions are: Alaska Air Group, Inc., et al. v. Anthem, Inc., et al., No. 2:21-cv-01209-AMM (N.D. Ala.) (“Alaska Air”); JetBlue Airways Corp., et al. v. Anthem, Inc., et al., No. 2:22-cv-00558-GMB (N.D. Ala.) (“Jet Blue”); Metropolitan Transportation Authority v. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama et al., No. 2:22-cv-00265-RDP (N.D. Ala.) (dismissed without prejudice in June 2023); Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. v. Anthem, Inc., No. 2:22-cv-01256-SGC (N.D. Ala.) and Hoover, et al. v. Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, et al., No. 1:21-cv-23448 (S.D. Fla.). Beginning in 2021, Prime

effective in June 2024, with the request for second Blue plan bid provisions effective in September 2024. The funds held in escrow will be distributed to members of the subscriber class in accordance with the Subscriber Settlement Agreement.

A number of follow-on cases involving entities that opted out of the Subscriber Settlement Agreement have been filed and remain pending. Those actions are: Alaska Air Group, Inc., et al. v. Anthem, Inc., et al., No. 2:21-cv-01209-AMM (N.D. Ala.) (“Alaska Air”); JetBlue Airways Corp., et al. v. Anthem, Inc., et al., No. 2:22-cv-00558-GMB (N.D. Ala.) (“Jet Blue”); Metropolitan Transportation Authority v. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama et al., No. 2:22-cv-00265-RDP (N.D. Ala.) (dismissed without prejudice in June 2023); Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. v. Anthem, Inc., No. 2:22-cv-01256-SGC (N.D. Ala.) and Hoover, et al. v. Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, et al., No. 1:21-cv-23448 (S.D. Fla.). Beginning in 2021, Prime Healthcare Services, Inc., Prime Healthcare Foundation, Inc., Prime Healthcare Management, Inc.and VHS Liquidating Trust (“VHS”), filed an antitrust action, VHS Liquidating Trust v. Blue Cross of California, et al., No. RG21106600 (Cal Super.) against BCBSA and all Blue plans in California Superior Court bringing similar claims as the BCBSA Litigation. In February 2023, the Court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss based on a statute of limitations defense in Alaska Air and Jet Blue. In September 2023, the California court presiding over the VHS case upheld its prior order granting in part defendants’ motion to strike based on the statute of limitations. In February 2025, the VHS plaintiffs amended their complaint to add an additional plaintiff, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. Trial for this case is scheduled for March 2027. We intend to continue to vigorously defend these follow-on cases, which we believe are without merit; however, their ultimate outcome cannot be presently determined.

In the third quarter of 2024, the BCBSA, along with the individually named Blue plans, approved a settlement agreement and release (the “Provider Settlement Agreement”) with the provider plaintiffs. The Court granted preliminary approval of the provider settlement on December 4, 2024. A Final Fairness Hearing was held in July 2025, and a Final Order of Approval was issued in August 2025. As a result of the Final Order of Approval, the defendants were required to make a monetary settlement payment and certain non-monetary terms including (i) expansion of certain opportunities to contract with providers in contiguous service areas, (ii) certain prompt pay commitments, and (iii) various technological enhancements to the BlueCard program are now being implemented on a timeline set forth in the Provider Settlement Agreement. The effective date of the Provider Settlement was September 19, 2025. We recognized our payment obligation under the Provider Settlement Agreement of $666 in September 2024 as operating expense in the Corporate & Other segment.

A number of follow-on cases involving entities that opted out of the Provider Settlement Agreement have been filed and have been centralized in the BCBSA Litigation multi-district proceeding. We intend to continue to vigorously defend these provider follow-on cases, which we believe are without merit; however, their ultimate outcome cannot be presently determined.

Healthcare Services, Inc., Prime Healthcare Foundation, Inc., Prime Healthcare Management, Inc.and VHS Liquidating Trust (“VHS”) filed an antitrust action, VHS Liquidating Trust v. Blue Cross of California, et al., No. RG21106600 (Cal Super.) against BCBSA and all Blue plans in California Superior Court bringing similar claims as the BCBSA Litigation. In February 2023, the Court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss based on a statute of limitations defense in Alaska Air and Jet Blue. In September 2023, the California court presiding over the VHS case upheld its prior order granting in part defendants’ motion to strike based on the statute of limitations. In February 2025, the VHS plaintiffs amended their complaint to add an additional plaintiff, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. Trial for this case is scheduled for March 2027. We intend to continue to vigorously defend these follow-on cases, which we believe are without merit; however, their ultimate outcome cannot be presently determined.

Medicare Risk Adjustment Litigation

In March 2020, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) filed a civil lawsuit against Elevance Health, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) in a case captioned United States v. Anthem, Inc. The DOJ’s suit alleges, among other things, that we falsely certified the accuracy of the diagnosis data we submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) for risk-adjustment purposes under Medicare Part C and knowingly failed to delete inaccurate diagnosis codes. The DOJ further alleges that, as a result of these purported acts, we caused CMS to calculate the risk-adjustment payments based on inaccurate diagnosis information, which enabled us to obtain unspecified amounts of payments in Medicare funds in violation of the False Claims Act. The DOJ filed an amended complaint in July 2020, alleging the same causes of action but revising some of its factual allegations. In September 2020, we filed a motion to transfer the lawsuit to the Southern District of Ohio, a motion to dismiss part of the lawsuit, and a motion to strike certain allegations in the amended complaint, all of which the District Court denied in October 2022. In November 2022, we filed an answer. In March 2023, discovery commenced. Fact and expert discovery are ongoing with current completion deadlines of ~~June~~August 3031, 2026 and ~~March~~May 810, 2027, respectively. We intend to continue to vigorously defend this suit, which we believe is without merit; however, the ultimate outcome cannot be presently determined.

The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the loss contingency liability for the risk adjustment data previously disclosed to CMS could differ from the amount accrued. Management currently estimates that the aggregate amount of such liability could range from approximately $585 less than the amount currently accrued to up to $565 in excess of the amount currently accrued.

Other Contingencies

From time to time, we and certain of our subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings, many of which involve claims for coverage encountered in the ordinary course of business. We, like Health Maintenance Organizations (“HMOs”) and health insurers generally, exclude certain healthcare and other services from coverage under our HMO, Preferred Provider Organizations and other plans. We are, in the ordinary course of business, subject to the claims of our enrollees arising out of decisions to restrict or deny reimbursement for uncovered services. The loss of even one such claim, if it results in a significant punitive damage award, could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, the risk of potential liability under punitive damage theories may increase significantly the difficulty of obtaining reasonable reimbursement of coverage claims.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

In September 2024, we extended our agreement with a vendor for information technology infrastructure and related management and support services through June 2029. Our remaining commitment under this agreement is approximately $1,~~518~~412. We have the ability to terminate the agreement upon the occurrence of certain events, subject to early termination fees.

CarelonRx markets and offers pharmacy services to our affiliated health plan customers throughout the country, as well as to customers outside of the health plans we own. The comprehensive pharmacy services portfolio includes all core pharmacy services, such as home delivery and specialty pharmacies, claims adjudication, formulary management, pharmacy networks, rebate administration, a prescription drug database and member services. CarelonRx delegates certain core pharmacy services to CaremarkPCS Health, L.L.C. (“CVS”), which is a subsidiary of CVS Health Corporation, pursuant to an agreement (“CVS Agreement”), with the current contractual term extending through December 31, 2027. We can elect to have CVS continue to provide services to us for a three-year extension period on the same terms and conditions as in the current CVS Agreement in the event of a termination or non-renewal by either party.

We have financial guarantees related to standby letters of credit and surety bonds related to certain contractual commitments, which totaled $~~781~~783 as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2026. We do not believe such obligations will materially affect our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

We have unfunded loan commitments to certain equity investees of $401 at ~~March~~June 3130, 2026. We do not believe such obligations will materially affect our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Vulnerability Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, investment securities, premium receivables and instruments held through hedging activities. All investment securities are managed by professional investment managers within policies authorized by our Board of Directors. Such policies limit the amounts that may be invested in any one issuer and prescribe certain investee company criteria. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to premium receivables are limited due to the large number of employer groups that constitute our customer base in the states in which we conduct business. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2026, there were no significant concentrations of financial instruments in a single investee, industry or geographic location.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026, we granted approximately 0.3 restricted stock units that are contingent upon us achieving an earnings target for 2026 and certain qualitative plan metrics over the three-year period from 2026 to 2028. These grants have been included in the activity shown above but will be subject to adjustment at the end of 2028 based on results during the three-year period.

Fair Value

We use a binomial lattice valuation model to estimate the fair value of all stock options granted. For a more detailed discussion of our stock incentive plan fair value methodology, see Note 15, “Capital Stock,” to our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in Part II, Item 8 of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of options granted during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and 2025:

Use of Capital – Dividends and Stock Repurchase Program

We regularly review the appropriate use of capital, including acquisitions, common stock and debt security repurchases and dividends to shareholders. The declaration and payment of any dividends or repurchases of our common stock or debt is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends upon our financial condition, results of operations, future liquidity needs, regulatory and capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

A summary of our cash dividend activity for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:

On ~~April~~July 2114, 2026, our Audit Committee declared a ~~second~~third quarter 2026 dividend to shareholders of $1.72 per share, payable on ~~June~~September 25, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on ~~June~~September 10, 2026.

Under our Board of Directors’ authorization, we maintain a common stock repurchase program. On October 15, 2024, our Audit Committee, pursuant to authorization granted by the Board of Directors, authorized an $8,000 increase to the common stock repurchase program. No duration has been placed on the common stock repurchase program, and we reserve the right to discontinue the program at any time. Repurchases may be made from time to time at prevailing market prices, subject to certain restrictions on volume, pricing and timing. The repurchases are effected from time to time in the open market, through negotiated transactions, including accelerated share repurchase agreements, and through plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our stock repurchase program is discretionary, as we are under no obligation to repurchase shares. We repurchase shares under the program when we believe it is a prudent use of capital. The excess cost of the repurchased shares over par value is charged on a pro rata basis to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.

A summary of common stock repurchases for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31
	Six Months Ended June 30

Authorization remaining at the end of the period	$	5,~~571~~337	$	8,~~420~~041

We expect to utilize the remaining authorized amount over a multi-year period, subject to market and industry conditions. For additional information regarding the use of capital for debt security repurchases, see Note 9, “Debt,” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 13, “Debt,” to our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in Part II, Item 8 of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

12. Shareholders' Earnings per Share

The denominator for basic and diluted shareholders' earnings per share for the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31
	Three Months Ended June 30		Six Months Ended June 30
	2026	2025	2026	2025
Denominator for basic shareholders' earnings per share – weighted-average shares	~~219~~217.80	~~226~~225.42	218.4	225.8
Effect of dilutive securities – employee stock options, non-vested restricted stock awards and convertible debentures	0.6	0.8
Effect of dilutive securities – employee stock options and non-vested restricted stock awards	0.9	0.6	0.7	0.7
Denominator for diluted shareholders' earnings per share	~~220~~217.49	~~227~~225.28	219.1	226.5

During the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and 2025, weighted-average shares related to certain stock options of 1.8 and 1.59, respectively, were excluded from the denominator for diluted shareholders' earnings per share because the stock options were anti-dilutive. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, weighted-average shares related to certain stock options of 1.8 and 1.7, respectively, were excluded from the denominator for diluted shareholders' earnings per share because the stock options were anti-dilutive.

We have issued approximately 0.8 cumulative restricted stock units under our stock incentive plans, of which vesting is contingent upon us meeting specified earnings and qualitative plan performance targets. Contingent restricted stock units are excluded from the denominator for diluted shareholders’ earnings per share and are included only if and when the contingency is met. These contingent restricted stock units are being measured over a three-year period and generally vest in March of the year following each measurement period.

13. Segment Information

We report our results of operations in the following four reportable segments: Health Benefits, CarelonRx, Carelon Services and Corporate & Other. An immaterial amount of our total consolidated revenues is derived from activities outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

Our Health Benefits segment offers a comprehensive suite of health plans and services to our Individual, Employer Group risk-based, Employer Group fee-based, BlueCard®, Medicare, Medicaid and FEP® members. The Health Benefits segment offers health products on a full-risk basis; provides a broad array of administrative managed care services to our fee-based customers; and provides a variety of specialty and other insurance products and services such as stop loss, dental, vision and supplemental health insurance benefits.

Our CarelonRx segment includes our pharmacy services business. CarelonRx markets and offers pharmacy services to our affiliated health plan customers, as well as to external customers outside of the health plans we own. CarelonRx offers a comprehensive pharmacy services portfolio, which includes all core pharmacy services, such as home delivery and specialty pharmacies, claims adjudication, formulary management, pharmacy networks, rebate administration, a prescription drug database and member services, as well as infusion services and injectable therapies.

Our Carelon Services segment integrates physical, behavioral, ~~pharmacy,~~ and social services with the aim of delivering whole health affordably by offering a broad array of healthcare related services and capabilities to internal and external customers through our Carelon Health and Carelon Insights businesses. Carelon promotes affordability by managing complex areas of the healthcare system, leveraging data and insights to ensure members receive safe, appropriate, high-quality care and providers are reimbursed accurately and timely. Our approach to cost management relies on capabilities including provider enablement, value-based networks, member engagement, and utilization management. Our care delivery services primarily target serving chronic and complex populations by providing personalized care in the home and virtually.

Our Corporate & Other segment includes our businesses that do not individually meet the quantitative threshold for an operating segment, as well as corporate expenses not allocated to our other reportable segments.

We define operating revenues to include premiums, product revenue and service fees. Operating revenues are derived from premiums and fees received, primarily from the sale and administration of health benefits and pharmacy products and services. Operating gain is calculated as total operating revenue less benefit expense, cost of products sold and operating expense.

-30-

Affiliated operating revenues represent revenues or costs for services provided to our subsidiaries by CarelonRx and Carelon Services, in addition to certain administrative and other services provided by our international businesses, which are recorded at cost or management’s estimate of fair market value. These affiliated operating revenues are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,” except that all capitation risk arrangements are reported on a gross basis with an adjustment included in eliminations for capitated risk arrangements that are presented on a net basis under GAAP.

Our chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses the performance of our reportable segments based on operating gain or loss as defined above. The CODM evaluates net investment income, net gains (losses) on financial instruments, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, income taxes and assets, liabilities and equity on a consolidated basis, as these items are managed in a corporate shared service environment and are not the responsibility of segment operating management.

The CODM uses operating gain or loss, developed during the annual budget process, and updated during the periodic forecasting process, as a basis to assess performance and allocate operating and capital resources to each segment.

Overview

Elevance Health is a health company with the purpose of improving the health of humanity. We are one of the largest health insurers in the United States in terms of medical membership, serving approximately 4544.49 million medical members through our affiliated health plans as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2026. We are an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association (“BCBSA”), an association of independent health benefit plans. We serve our members as the Blue Cross licensee for California and as the Blue Cross and Blue Shield (“BCBS”) licensee for Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Missouri (excluding 30 counties in the Kansas City area), Nevada, New Hampshire, New York (in the New York City metropolitan area and upstate New York), Ohio, Virginia (excluding the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C.) and Wisconsin. In a majority of these service areas, we do business as Anthem Blue Cross and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. We also conduct business through arrangements with other BCBS licensees, as well as other strategic partners. In addition, we serve members in numerous states as Wellpoint, Carelon, MMM and/or Simply Healthcare. We are licensed to conduct insurance operations in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico through our subsidiaries. Through various subsidiaries, we also offer pharmacy services through our CarelonRx business, and other healthcare related services as Carelon Services.

Our portfolio consists of the following core go-to-market brands:

•Anthem Blue Cross/Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield — represents our Anthem-branded and affiliated Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield licensed Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial Health Benefit plans;

•Wellpoint — represents our Wellpoint branded Medicare, Medicaid and commercial Health Benefit plans and other non-BCBSA brands; and

•Carelon — represents our healthcare related services and capabilities, including our CarelonRx and Carelon Services businesses.

We report our results of operations in the following four reportable segments: Health Benefits, CarelonRx, Carelon Services and Corporate & Other (our businesses that do not individually meet the quantitative thresholds for an operating segment, as well as corporate expenses not allocated to our other reportable segments). For additional information, see Note 13, “Segment Information,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Business Trends

Medical Cost Trends: Our medical cost trends are primarily driven by changes in the utilization of services across all provider types and the unit cost of these services. We work to mitigate these trends through various medical management programs such as care and condition management, program integrity and specialty pharmacy management and utilization management, as well as benefit design changes. There are many drivers of medical cost trends that can cause variance from our estimates, such as changes in the level and mix of services utilized, regulatory changes, aging of the population, health status and other demographic characteristics of our members, epidemics, pandemics, advances in medical technology, new high-cost prescription drugs, including increased utilization of specialty pharmaceuticals, new indications of existing prescription drugs, provider contracting inflation, labor costs and healthcare fraud, waste and abuse.

Membership shifts from Medicaid into our Individual ACA (as defined below) business following the redetermination process that began in April 2023, together with lower membership effectuation rates, particularly in geographies with high concentrations of highly subsidized members, have driven a market-wide increase in morbidity, resulting in elevated medical cost trends. Medicaid cost trends remain elevated due to higher population acuity and increased utilization of services. In response, we are working on program improvements in partnership with the states, strengthening care and provider network management, ~~and~~ optimizing our clinical strategy to improve effectiveness and ~~lower~~enhancing payment integrity to manage costs.

Pricing Trends: We strive to price our health benefit products consistent with anticipated underlying medical cost trends. We frequently make adjustments to respond to legislative and regulatory changes as well as pricing and other actions taken by existing competitors and new market entrants. Revenues from the Medicare and Medicaid programs are dependent, in whole or in part, upon annual funding from the federal government and/or applicable state governments. Product pricing remains competitive. Pricing of the Medicare and Medicaid programs may not adequately reflect current underlying healthcare cost trends given the timing lag between when pricing is established and the start of the applicable contract, which could adversely affect our financial results.

If the approvals of any annual premium rate changes by contracted government agencies are delayed, we are required to defer the recognition of any premium rate increases to the period in which the premium rates become final. The impact of this deferral can be significant in the period in which the increased premium rates are first recognized depending on the magnitude of the premium rate increase, the number of members to which it applies and the length of the delay between the effective date of the rate increase and the final contract date. Premium rate decreases are recognized in the period the change in premium rate becomes effective and the change in the rate is known, which may be prior to the period in which the contract amendment affecting the rate is finalized.

Affordable Care Act: We continue to participate in the Individual state- or federally-facilitated marketplaces (the “Public Exchange”) in nearly all of our Anthem Blue Cross and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield service areas. In 2025, we expanded our operations into select service areas in Florida through our Simply Healthcare brand, and Maryland and Texas ~~and~~through inour Wellpoint brand. In 2026, we expanded into Washington through our ~~Simply Healthcare and~~ Wellpoint ~~brands~~brand. Going forward, we expect the Public Exchange to be influenced by policy and regulatory changes, particularly around federal subsidies, compliance requirements, and market stability.

CarelonRx: CarelonRx markets and offers pharmacy services to our affiliated health plan customers throughout the country and to customers outside of the health plans we own. Our comprehensive pharmacy services portfolio includes all core pharmacy services, such as home delivery and specialty pharmacies, claims adjudication, formulary management, pharmacy networks, rebate administration, a prescription drug database and member services, as well as infusion services and injectable therapies.

CarelonRx delegates certain core pharmacy services to CaremarkPCS Health, L.L.C., which is a subsidiary of CVS Health Corporation (“CVS”), pursuant to an agreement (the “CVS Agreement”) with the current contractual term extending through December 31, 2027. We can elect to have CVS continue to provide services to us for a three-year extension period on the same terms and conditions as in the current CVS Agreement in the event of a termination or non-renewal by either party.

For additional discussion regarding business trends, see Part I, Item 1, “Business” included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Regulatory Trends and Uncertainties

The federal budget reconciliation legislation, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The OBBBA includes provisions that could impact our business and operations including: requiring more frequent Medicaid ~~redeterminations~~reverifications for beneficiaries receiving coverage under a state’s Medicaid expansion program implemented pursuant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, as amended, (collectively, the “ACA”); and imposing work or community engagement requirements on certain adults in the ACA Medicaid expansion population. The OBBBA also makes changes to federal requirements regarding Medicaid state directed payments and provider taxes, including taxes on managed care organizations; delays implementation of Medicaid final regulations on certain eligibility and enrollment provisions; reduces the allowable home equity asset threshold for individuals seeking eligibility for long-term care under Medicaid; establishes a new Rural Health Transformation program; eliminates the repayment limit for excess advanced Premium Tax Credits (“PTCs”) under the ACA; modifies the rules regarding Health Savings Account (“HSA”) eligible plans under the ACA; and makes permanent an extension of the safe harbor first established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, allowing pre-deductible coverage of telehealth services for HSA eligible high-deductible health plans; among other provisions.

Additional federal and state guidance is being issued to implement these OBBBA provisions. Implementation dates vary, with many provisions impacting commercial plans effective January 1, 2026, and many Medicaid-related provisions effective in 2027 and 2028. States may choose to implement certain Medicaid provisions as early as 2026.

In May 2026, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Labor, and the Treasury (collectively, the “Tri-Agencies”) issued final regulations updating the federal Independent Dispute Resolution (“IDR”) process used to determine compensation to be paid by health plans to out-of-network providers in certain scenarios under the No Surprises Act. The regulations are primarily procedural in nature and address the operations and administration of the IDR process. Additional regulatory guidance or rulemakings are possible, and changes resulting from any such guidance or rulemakings, as well as current and potential litigation, arbitration proceedings, and government audits related to the IDR and No Surprises Act, could have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.

In February 2026, Congress passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026, which includes pharmacy benefit manager reforms requiring pharmacy benefit managers to remit all rebates, fees (other than bona fide service fees), and other remuneration received from entities such as manufacturers and group purchasing organizations to commercial plan sponsors, and to provide detailed commercial claims reporting, effective 30 months after enactment. The legislation also imposes extensive reporting requirements and delinks pharmacy benefit manager compensation in Medicare Part D by prohibiting pharmacy benefit managers from receiving remuneration related to Part D drugs in any form other than bona fide service fees that cannot be based on a drug’s price, effective in 2028. There continues to be the potential that similar or additional legislation may be adopted at the state or federal level.

In addition, in June 2025, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) finalized the Marketplace Integrity and Affordability Regulation, which modifies the Public Exchange open enrollment period beginning in plan year 2027 and eligibility for PTCs, among other requirements. In September 2025, a federal court delayed the effective dates for several provisions of the Marketplace Integrity and Affordability Regulation pending the resolution of ongoing litigation challenging the legality of those provisions. Also, in September 2025, CMS issued guidance modifying eligibility requirements for ACA catastrophic plans.

In September 2024, the ~~U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Department of Labor, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (collectively, the “~~Tri-Agencies”) issued final regulations related to mental health parity that will require health plans to make administrative and operational changes to comply with these final regulations. While some provisions became effective on January 1, 2025, additional guidance from the Tri-Agencies is necessary to assess the full impact of these regulations on our operations and financial results. Litigation has been filed challenging the final regulations.

~~The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 separated Medicaid eligibility redeterminations from the COVID~~-19 Public Health Emergency initially declared in January 2020. As a result, states were permitted to begin removing ineligible beneficiaries from their Medicaid programs starting April 1, 2023, and the majority of our Medicaid markets began doing so as of June 30, 2023. CMS required states to complete Medicaid eligibility redeterminations by December 31, 2025.37-

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 separated Medicaid eligibility redeterminations from the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency initially declared in January 2020. As a result, states were permitted to begin removing ineligible beneficiaries from their Medicaid programs starting April 1, 2023, and the majority of our Medicaid markets began doing so as of June 30, 2023. CMS required states to complete Medicaid eligibility redeterminations by December 31, 2025. Although the federally mandated Medicaid eligibility redetermination period has ended, states continue to conduct regular eligibility reverifications and the effects on Medicaid enrollment, member acuity, utilization and state rate-setting, as well as changes arising from the OBBBA, may continue to affect our business.

In addition, subsequent budget reconciliation legislation enacted during 2023 through 2025 included provisions affecting Medicaid eligibility enrollment and program financing, which may influence state Medicaid policies and beneficiary coverage dynamics over time.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) includes several provisions that have impacted, and continue to impact, our business. These provisions include extending the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021’s enhanced Advance Premium Tax Credits (“APTCs”) through 2025; imposing a new corporate alternative minimum tax; establishing a one percent excise tax on repurchases of stock by issuers; authorizing CMS to negotiate prices on a limited set of Medicare prescription drugs beginning in 2026; instituting caps on insulin cost sharing in Medicare; redesigning the Medicare Part D benefit; requiring drug manufacturers to pay rebates if prices increase beyond inflation; and delaying the implementation of the Trump Administration Medicare drug rebate rule until at least 2032. From 2021 to 2025, Individual market enrollment grew significantly, driven in part by APTCs, which reduced Public Exchange coverage premiums for individuals who qualified. This, in combination with lower membership effectuation rates, particularly in geographies with high concentrations of highly subsidized members, have driven a market-~~36-~~wide increase in morbidity, resulting in elevated medical cost trends. The APTCs expired on December 31, 2025. As a result, the cost of Public Exchange coverage premiums has increased for those individuals previously receiving the APTCs, which has impacted our Individual market enrollment.

The enhanced PTCs expired on December 31, 2025. As a result, the cost of Public Exchange coverage premiums has increased for those individuals previously receiving the enhanced PTCs, which may negatively impact our Individual market enrollment.

The ACA continues to impact our business and results of operations, including pricing, minimum medical loss ratios, and the geographies in which our products are available.

We also expect further and ongoing regulatory guidance on a number of issues related to Medicare, including evolving methodology for ratings and quality bonus payments. CMS also frequently proposes changes to its program that audits data submitted under the risk adjustment programs in ways that could increase financial recoveries from plans. For example, in May 2025, CMS announced plans to substantially increase the scale and pace of Risk Adjustment Data Validation (“RADV”) audits of Medicare Advantage plans. ~~The~~CMS ~~outcome~~has ofinitiated these RADV ~~audits~~audit changes, and the outcome could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

For additional discussion regarding regulatory trends and uncertainties, and risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, see Part I, Item 1, “Business – Regulation,” Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and the “Regulatory Trends and Uncertainties” section of Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Other Significant Items

Business and Operational Matters

In the first quarter of 2026, based on a strategic review of our operations, assets and investments, management ~~implemented~~initiated the 2026 - 2027 Operating Model Transformation Program (the “Transformation Program”) to streamline decision-making, simplify organizational structures, and enhance the use of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, across the enterprise. The Transformation Program includes initiatives to reduce organizational layers, realign roles and responsibilities, and design workflows to support more efficient, technology-enabled operations. These actions also include the modernization of certain information technology platforms, targeted workforce reductions and role realignments. Actions to be taken under the Transformation Program were ongoing as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2026.

Pursuant to CMS’ Medicare Advantage Star Ratings system, CMS annually awards between 1.0 and 5.0 Stars to Medicare Advantage plans based on performance in several categories. Plans must have a Star Rating of 4.0 or higher to qualify for bonus payments. Our 2025 Star Ratings, which are used for payment year 2026, reflect that approximately 40% of our Medicare Advantage members were enrolled in plans rated at least 4.0 Stars or higher. CMS released our 2026 Star Ratings in October 2025, which will be used to determine our Medicare Advantage bonus payments in 2027. Our 2026 Star Ratings reflect that approximately 59% of our Medicare Advantage members are enrolled in plans rated at least 4.0 Stars or higher, or the equivalent.

On March 13, 2026, CMS notified the Company that it was granting the Company’s request for an extension of the effective date of the sanctions from March 31, 2026 to May 30, 2026 and also removed certain of the Company’s MA-PD plans from the threatened sanctions and granted a waiver for various Employee Group Waiver Plans. CMS subsequently modified the compliance timeline. The Company now has until July 31, 2026 to complete a series of steps required by the agency to avoid sanctions. While the Company is working with CMS to complete these steps to reach a resolution that avoids the imposition of sanctions or other remedies, there can be no assurance that such a resolution can be achieved. The Company is also currently contesting CMS’ action through an administrative process.

Litigation Matters

We have been a defendant in multiple lawsuits that were initially filed in 2012 against the BCBSA and Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield licensees (the “Blue plans”) across the country. These cases have been consolidated into a single, multi-district proceeding captioned In re Blue Cross Blue Shield Antitrust Litigation (“BCBSA Litigation”) that is pending before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama (the “Court”). Generally, the lawsuits in the BCBSA Litigation challenge elements of the licensing agreements between the BCBSA and the independently owned and operated Blue plans along with other arrangements in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act and related state laws. The cases were brought by two nationwide classes of plaintiffs, health plan subscribers and providers.

The BCBSA and Blue plans approved and entered into a settlement agreement and release with the subscriber plaintiffs (the “Subscriber Settlement Agreement”), ~~which~~and ~~received~~a ~~final~~separate ~~approval~~settlement ~~from~~agreement ~~the~~and ~~Court~~release inwith ~~September 2022.

The BCBSA and the Blue plans approved a settlement agreement and release (the “Provider Settlement Agreement”) with the provider plaintiffs, and in October 2024, the provider plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary approval with the Court. The Court granted preliminary approval of the Provider Settlement Agreement in December 2024. A ~~Final~~number Fairness Hearing was held in July 2025, and the Court issued a Final Approval Order for the Provider Settlement Agreement in August 2025. The Provider Settlement Agreement required the defendants to make a monetary settlement payment and also required that certain non-monetary terms including (i) expansion of ~~certain opportunities to contract with providers in contiguous service areas, (ii) certain prompt pay commitments, and (iii) various technological enhancements to the BlueCard program, be implemented~~ follow-on acases ~~timeline~~involving ~~set~~entities ~~forth~~that inopted ~~the~~out ~~Provider Settlement Agreement.

A number of~~ follow-on cases involving the entities that opted out of the Provider Settlement Agreement have been filed and ~~have been~~ centralized in the BCBSA Litigation multi-district proceeding.

For additional information regarding the BCBSA Litigation, see Note 10, “Commitments and Contingencies – Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings – Blue Cross Blue Shield Antitrust Litigation,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Selected Operating Performance

~~For~~From ~~the~~June 30, ~~twelve~~2025 ~~months~~to ~~ended March~~June 3130, 2026, total medical membership declined by 01.95%. This was ~~primarily~~ driven by attrition in Medicaid membership, primarily as a result of eligibility redeterminations, and decreases in our Medicare Advantage, Employer Group Risk-Based and FEP® businesses. These decreases were partially offset by increases in our Employer Group Fee-Based business.

Operating revenue for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 was $49,~~494~~826, an increase of $~~729~~405, or 10.58%, from the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025. ~~The~~Operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $99,320, an increase of $1,134, or 1.2%, from the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increases for the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 ~~was~~were primarily athe result of premium rate increases in our Health Benefits segment in recognition of medical cost trends and growth in CarelonRx product revenues, partially offset by membership attrition.

Shareholders'’ net income for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 was $1,~~764~~463, a decrease of $~~419~~280, or 1916.21%, from the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025. Shareholders’ net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $3,227, a decrease of $699, or 17.8%, from the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in net income for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, ~~2026~~2025 was primarily due to ~~decreased~~a decrease in operating gain in ~~all~~our ~~lines~~Corporate ~~of business~~ and ~~increased~~Other, ~~interest~~Health ~~expense.~~Benefits ~~These~~and ~~decreases~~Carelon ~~were~~Services ~~partially offset~~

-38-

by decreased net losses on financial instruments, increased net investment income, decreased income tax expense and decreased amortization of other intangible assets.

Our fully-diluted shareholders’ earnings per share (“EPS”) was $8.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which represented a 16.8% decrease from EPS of $9.61 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2026 resulted primarily from decreased shareholders' net income, partially offset by the impact of fewer diluted shares outstanding.

Operating cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $4,332 and $1,017, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to favorable working capital impacts.

Membership and Other Metrics

The following table presents our medical membership by customer type as of March 31, 2026 and 2025. Also included below is other membership by product and other metrics. The membership data and other metrics presented are unaudited and in certain instances include estimates of the number of members represented by each contract at the end of the period. The CarelonRx Quarterly Adjusted Scripts metric represents adjusted script volume based on the number of days a prescription covers. On an adjusted basis, one 90-day script counts the same as three 30-day scripts. The Carelon Services Consumers Served metric represents the number of consumers receiving one or more healthcare-related services from Carelon Services who are members of our affiliated health plans as well as those who are members of non-affiliated health plans. For a more detailed description of our medical membership, see the “Membership” section of Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

segments. The decrease was partially offset by increased net investment income, decreased net losses on financial instruments and decreased income tax expense. The decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to the loss contingency accrual for our best estimate of the identified potential exposure for the resubmission of certain historical Medicare Advantage risk adjustment data within our Corporate & Other segment and a decrease in operating gain in our Health Benefits and Carelon Services segments. The decrease was partially offset by decreased net losses on financial instruments, increased net investment income and decreased income tax expense.

Our fully-diluted shareholders’ earnings per share (“EPS”) was $6.71 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, which represented a 13.1% decrease from EPS of $7.72 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Our EPS was $14.73 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which represented a 15.0% decrease from EPS of $17.33 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decreases in EPS for both periods resulted primarily from decreased shareholders' net income, partially offset by the impact of fewer diluted shares outstanding.

Operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $6,245 and $3,071, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to favorable working capital impacts, partially offset by lower shareholders’ net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Membership and Other Metrics

The following table presents our medical membership by customer type as of June 30, 2026 and 2025. Also included below is other membership by product and other metrics. The membership data and other metrics presented are unaudited and in certain instances include estimates of the number of members represented by each contract at the end of the period. The CarelonRx Quarterly Adjusted Scripts metric represents adjusted script volume based on the number of days a prescription covers. On an adjusted basis, one 90-day script counts the same as three 30-day scripts. The Carelon Services Consumers Served metric represents the number of consumers receiving one or more healthcare-related services from Carelon Services who are members of our affiliated health plans as well as those who are members of non-affiliated health plans. For a more detailed description of our medical membership, see the “Membership” section of Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Medical Membership

The decrease in medical membership was primarily driven by attrition in Medicaid membership, primarily as a result of eligibility redeterminations, and decreases in our Medicare Advantage, Employer Group Risk-Based and FEP® businesses. These decreases were partially offset by increases in our Employer Group Fee-Based business.

Other Membership

Our other membership has the potential to be impacted by changes in our medical membership, as our medical members often purchase our other products that are ancillary to our health business. Dental membership increased primarily due to favorable sales in our Employer Group business. Dental Administration membership decreased primarily due to unfavorable in-group change within other BCBSA plans. Vision membership increased primarily due to higher sales in our Medicaid, Employer Group and Individual health plans, partially offset by lower sales in our Medicare business.

1 Includes interest expense and amortization of other intangible assets.

2 Benefit expense ratio represents benefit expense as a percentage of premium revenue. Premiums for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and 2025 were $41,~~024~~279 and $4041,~~887~~271, respectively.

4 Operating expense ratio represents operating expense as a percentage of total operating revenue.

Three Months Ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025

Total operating revenue increased primarily as a result of premium rate increases in our Health Benefits segment in recognition of medical cost trends and growth in CarelonRx product revenues, partially offset by membership attrition.

Net investment income increased primarily due to higher income from alternative investments, partially offset by lower income from fixed maturity securities.

Net losses on financial instruments decreased due to lower impairment on other invested assets and lower realized losses on sales of financial instruments.

-42-

Benefit expense increased primarily due to higher medical costs across most lines of business within our Health Benefits segment. These increases were partially offset by decreases in Carelon Services benefit expense related to the partial termination and modification of a care delivery services contract with an unaffiliated customer.

Our benefit expense ratio increased primarily as a result of expected elevated medical cost trend in our Medicaid and Medicare businesses, partially offset by improved performance in our Individual ACA business.

Cost of products sold reflects the cost of pharmaceuticals dispensed by CarelonRx for our unaffiliated pharmacy customers. Cost of products sold increased as a result of a higher cost per prescription in 2026, reflecting pricing impacts and product mix, despite lower adjusted prescription volumes.

Operating expense increased primarily due to increases in targeted investments to support and strengthen our workforce and accelerate technology adoption, an increase in expenses to address regulatory matters and an increase in premium tax expenses and assessments.

Our operating expense ratio increased primarily due to targeted investments to support and strengthen our workforce and accelerate technology adoption, an increase in expenses to address regulatory matters and an increase in premium tax expenses and assessments.

Other expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in amortization of other intangible assets due to assets being amortized under an accelerated depreciation method, which results in higher expense recognition in earlier periods and progressively lower amortization in later periods, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.

Our effective tax rate increased primarily due to the net increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions.

Our shareholders’ net income as a percentage of total revenues decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 as a result of all factors discussed above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

Net investment income increased primarily due to higher income from alternative investments, partially offset by lower income from fixed maturity securities.

Net losses on financial instruments decreased due to lower impairment on other invested assets and lower realized losses on sales of financial instruments.

Benefit expense increased primarily due to higher medical costs across all lines of business within our Health Benefits segment, with the exception of Medicare. These increases were partially offset by decreases in Carelon Services benefit expense related to the partial termination and modification of a care delivery services contract with an unaffiliated customer.

Our benefit expense ratio increased primarily asdue ato ~~result of~~ expected elevated medical cost trend in our Medicaid business, partially offset by improved performance in ~~Medicare~~our ~~Advantage~~Individual ACA business.

Reportable Segments Results of Operations

Our results of operations discussed throughout this MD&A are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We also calculate operating gain and operating margin to further aid investors in understanding and analyzing our core operating results and comparing them among periods. We define operating revenue as premium income, product revenue and service fees. Operating gain is calculated as total operating revenue less benefit expense, cost of products sold and operating expense. It does not include net investment income, net losses on financial instruments, loss/gain on sale of business, interest expense, amortization of other intangible assets or income taxes, as these items are managed in our corporate shared service environment and are not the responsibility of operating segment management. Operating margin is calculated as operating gain divided by operating revenue. We use these measures as a basis for evaluating segment performance, allocating resources, forecasting future operating periods and setting incentive compensation targets. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income before income tax expense, shareholders’ net income or EPS prepared in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of reportable segments’ operating revenue to the amounts of total revenue included in the consolidated statements of income and a reconciliation of income before income tax expense to reportable segments’ operating gain, see Note 13, “Segment Information,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Health Benefits

Operating revenue increased primarily as a result of higher premium yields driven by premium increases in all of our lines of business, partially offset by deliberate repositioning in our Medicare Advantage business and Medicaid membership attrition.

Operating gain decreased primarily as a result of higher overall medical costs and ~~operating~~increases ~~costs~~in targeted investments to support and strengthen our workforce and accelerate technology adoption, partially offset by higher operating revenue.

CarelonRx

Carelon Services

Operating revenue increased primarily due to the continued expansion of risk-based capabilities in our specialty care solutions and behavioral health services,. These increases were partially offset by decreases related to the partial termination and modification of a care delivery services contract with an unaffiliated customer and fewer post-acute solutions services provided as a result of lower Medicare membership.

-46-

The decrease in operating gain was primarily driven by less favorable results on certain contracts and lower health plan membership within our post acute solutions services, lower health plan membership and seasonality related to the launch of risk-based capabilities in our specialty care solutions business. The decrease was partially offset by improved performance in our behavioral health business and the expansion of CareBridge.

Corporate & Other

Operating revenue decreased primarily due to lower affiliate revenues.

Operating loss increased primarily due to increased unallocated corporate expenses, primarily associated with the loss contingency accrual for our best estimate of the identified potential exposure for the resubmission of certain historical Medicare Advantage risk adjustment data and the Transformation Program.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Application of GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and within this MD&A. We consider our most important accounting policies that require significant estimates and management judgment to be those policies with respect to liabilities for medical claims payable, goodwill and other intangible assets and investments. Our accounting policies related to these items are discussed in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,” to our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, as well as in the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section of Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2026, our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed from those described in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. In general, our estimates are based on historical experience, evaluation of current trends, information from third-party professionals and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the known facts and circumstances. Estimates can require a significant amount of judgment, and a different set of assumptions could result in material changes to our reported results.

Medical Claims Payable

The most subjective accounting estimate in our consolidated financial statements is our liability for medical claims payable. Our accounting policies related to medical claims payable are discussed in the references cited above. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2026, our critical accounting policies and estimates related to medical claims payable have not changed from those described in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance for medical claims payable for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and 2025, see Note 8, “Medical Claims Payable,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following table provides a summary of the two key assumptions having the most significant impact on our incurred but not paid liability estimates for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and 2025, which are the trend and completion factors. These two key assumptions can be influenced by utilization levels, unit costs, mix of business, benefit plan designs, provider reimbursement levels, processing system conversions and changes, claim inventory levels, claim processing patterns, claim submission patterns and operational changes resulting from business combinations.

The favorable development recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2026 resulted from trend factors in late 2025 developing more favorably than originally expected as well as from faster than expected development of completion factors from the latter part of 2025.-47-

We calculate the percentage of prior year redundancies in the current period as a percent of prior year net incurred medical claims to indicate the percentage of redundancy included in the preceding year calculation of current year net incurred medical claims. We believe this calculation supports the reasonableness of our prior year estimate of incurred medical claims and the consistency in our methodology. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, this metric was 0.8%, which was calculated using the redundancy of $1,124. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the comparable metric was also 0.8%, which was calculated using the redundancy of $1,025. We believe these metrics demonstrate an appropriate and consistent level of reserve conservatism.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Capital

Our cash receipts result primarily from premiums, product revenue, service fees, investment income, proceeds from the sale or maturity of our investment securities, proceeds from borrowings and proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock plans. Cash disbursements result mainly from claims payments, operating expenses, taxes, purchases of investment securities, interest expense, payments on borrowings, acquisitions, capital expenditures, repurchases of our debt securities and common stock and the payment of cash dividends. Cash outflows fluctuate with the amount and timing of settlement of these transactions. Any future decline in our profitability would likely have an unfavorable impact on our liquidity.

For a more detailed overview of our liquidity and capital resources management, see the “Introduction” section included in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For additional information regarding our sources and uses of capital during the three and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2026, see Note 4, “Investments,” Note 5, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” Note 9, “Debt,” and Note 11, “Capital Stock – Use of Capital – Dividends and Stock Repurchase Program,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	~~166~~741	$	~~(788)~~272	$	~~954~~469

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to favorable working capital impacts, partially offset by lower shareholders’ net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Other significant changes in cash year-over-year included (a) decreased usage of cash to repay short-and long-term debt, net of issuances, and (b) ~~uses of cash related to~~ increased cash outflow from changes in bank overdrafts, increased purchases of investments, net of proceeds from sales, maturities, calls and redemptions and increased repurchases and retirements of common stock.

We maintained a strong financial condition and liquidity position, with consolidated cash, cash equivalents and investments in fixed maturity and equity securities of $38,~~187~~773 at ~~March~~June 3130, 2026. Since December 31, 2025, total cash, cash equivalents and investments in fixed maturity and equity securities increased by $~~951~~1,537, primarily due to increased ~~investments~~cash ingenerated ~~equity~~from ~~securities,~~operations ~~net~~and decreased cash used in repayment of ~~purchases~~short- and ~~increased~~long-term ~~cash~~debt, ~~generated~~net ~~from~~of ~~operations~~issuances. This increase was partially offset by increased ~~amounts~~cash used for changes in bank overdrafts, ~~decreased cash generated by issuances of short-~~ and ~~long-term debt, net of repayments,~~ increased amounts for the repurchase and retirement of common stock ~~and increased purchases of property and equipment~~.

Many of our subsidiaries are subject to various government regulations that restrict the timing and amount of dividends and other distributions that may be paid to their respective parent companies. Certain accounting practices prescribed by insurance regulatory authorities, or statutory accounting practices, differ from GAAP. Changes that occur in statutory accounting practices, if any, could impact our subsidiaries’ future dividend capacity. In addition, we have agreed to certain undertakings to regulatory authorities, including the requirement to maintain certain capital levels in certain of our subsidiaries.

At ~~March~~June 3130, 2026, we held $2,~~164~~062 of cash, cash equivalents and investments at the parent company, which are available for general corporate use, including investment in our businesses, acquisitions, potential future common stock repurchases and dividends to shareholders, repurchases of debt securities and debt and interest payments.

Periodically, we access capital markets and issue debt (“Notes”) for long-term borrowing purposes, for example, to refinance debt, to finance acquisitions or for share repurchases. Certain of these Notes may have a call feature that allows us to redeem the Notes at any time at our option and/or a put feature that allows a Note holder to redeem the Notes upon the occurrence of both a change in control event and a downgrade of the Notes below an investment grade rating. For more information on our debt, including redemptions and issuances, see Note 9, “Debt,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We calculate our consolidated debt-to-capital ratio, a non-GAAP measure, from the amounts presented on our consolidated balance sheets included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as total debt divided by total debt plus total equity. Total debt is the sum of short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, less current portion. We believe our debt-to-capital ratio assists investors and rating agencies in measuring our overall leverage and additional borrowing capacity. In addition, our bank covenants include a maximum debt-to-capital ratio that we cannot and did not exceed. Our debt-to-capital ratio may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Our consolidated debt-to-capital ratio was 4240.08% and 42.1% as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Our senior debt is rated “A-” by S&P Global Ratings, “BBB+” by Fitch Ratings, Inc., “Baa2” by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. and “bbb+” by AM Best Company, Inc. We intend to maintain our senior debt investment grade ratings. If our credit ratings are downgraded, our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted by limitations on future borrowings and a potential increase in our borrowing costs.

Capital Resources

We have a shelf registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to register an unlimited amount of any combination of debt or equity securities in one or more offerings. Specific information regarding terms and securities being offered will be provided at the time of an offering. Proceeds from future offerings are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the repayment of debt, investments in or extensions of credit to our subsidiaries, the financing of possible acquisitions or business expansions.

We have a senior revolving credit facility (the “5-Year Facility”) with a group of lenders for general corporate purposes. The 5-Year Facility provides credit of up to $5,000 and matures in September 2030. Our ability to borrow under the 5-Year Facility is subject to compliance with certain covenants, including covenants requiring us to maintain a defined debt-to-capital ratio of not more than 60%, subject to increase in certain circumstances set forth in the credit agreement for the 5-Year Facility. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2026, our debt-to-capital ratio, as defined and calculated under the 5-Year Facility, was 4240.08%. We do not believe the restrictions contained in our 5-Year Facility covenants materially affect our financial or operating flexibility. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2026, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants under the 5-Year Facility.

We have an authorized commercial paper program of up to $5,000, the proceeds of which may be used for general corporate purposes. Should commercial paper issuance become unavailable, we have the ability to use a combination of cash on hand and/or our 5-Year Facility to redeem any outstanding commercial paper upon maturity. We had $~~724~~0 and $0 of outstanding commercial paper at ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

We are a member, through certain subsidiaries, of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (collectively, the “FHLBs”). As a member, we have the ability to obtain short-term cash advances, subject to certain minimum collateral requirements. We had $0 and $150 of outstanding short-term borrowings from the FHLBs as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

For additional information regarding our sources and uses of capital at ~~March~~June 3130, 2026, see Note 4, “Investments,” Note 5, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” Note 9, “Debt,” and Note 11, “Capital Stock – Use of Capital – Dividends and Stock

Repurchase Program,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In addition to regulations regarding the timing and amount of dividends, our regulated subsidiaries’ states of domicile have statutory risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements for health and other insurance companies and health maintenance organizations largely based on the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) Risk-Based Capital for Health Organizations Model Act (the “RBC Model Act”). These RBC requirements are intended to measure capital adequacy, taking into account the risk characteristics of an insurer’s investments and products. The NAIC sets forth the formula for calculating the RBC requirements, which are designed to take into account asset, insurance, interest rate and other relevant risks with respect to an individual insurance company’s business. In general, under the RBC Model Act, an insurance company must submit a report of its RBC level to the state insurance department or insurance commissioner, as appropriate, at the end of each calendar year. Our regulated subsidiaries’ respective RBC levels as of December 31, 2025, which was the most recent date for which reporting was required, were in excess of all applicable mandatory RBC requirements. In addition to exceeding these RBC requirements, we are in compliance with the liquidity and capital requirements for a licensee of the BCBSA and with the tangible net worth requirements applicable to certain of our California subsidiaries. For additional information, see Note 21, “Statutory Information,” in our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in Part II, Item 8 of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity

We believe that cash on hand, future operating cash receipts, investments and funds available under our commercial paper program, our 5-Year Facility and borrowings available from the FHLBs will be adequate to fund our expected cash disbursements over the next twelve months.

There have been no material changes to our long-term liquidity requirements as disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For additional updates regarding our estimated long-term liquidity requirements, see Note 5, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” Note 9, “Debt,” and the “Other Contingencies” and “Contractual Obligations and Commitments” sections of Note 10, “Commitments and Contingencies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe that funds from future operating cash flows, cash and investments and funds available under our 5-Year Facility and/or from public or private financing sources will be sufficient for future operations and commitments, and for capital acquisitions and other strategic transactions.
