Cigna’s 2015 full-year consolidated revenue increased
by eight percent, to approximately $38 billion.
Adjusted income from operations1 was $8.66 per share,
representing per share growth of ten percent over
full-year 2014. We delivered shareholders’ net income
for 2015 of $2.1 billion.
This strong financial performance reflects the
continued eective execution of our strategic
framework implemented six years ago. Over this
period we achieved compound annual growth
of 13 percent for revenues, as well as 13 percent
for adjusted income from operations per share.1
Our ability to create ongoing value has driven
Cigna’s stock performance to deliver a total
shareholder return of more than 300 percent
over this same period.
In addition, the industry-leading medical cost trend,2
strong margins, and significant free cash flow we
have consistently delivered and deployed for the
benefit of shareholders, have meaningfully contributed
to our long-term record of attractive results.
With an eye to the future, we also entered into an
agreement to join with Anthem to create a new
company that will allow us to further accelerate
the transition to a health care system oriented
around value-based care.3

We’ve made significant progress by partnering
with diverse stakeholders to improve health care,
and yet we believe the current marketplace
remains unsustainable. Our proposed combination
with Anthem represents a unique opportunity for
two companies with highly complementary value
propositions to expand choice and access, while
improving quality and aordability.
As we transform challenges into attractive
opportunities, and consistently execute against
our global strategy, Cigna’s capacity to create
value, and to improve the health, wellness and
sense of security of the people and communities
we serve, has never been stronger.
