Full Year 2023 Individual Medicare Advantage Enrollment Projection

Based on annual election period (AEP) growth of approximately 500,000 members, the Company is increasing its net membership growth estimate for its individual Medicare Advantage products for the year ending December 31, 2023 (“FY 2023”) to ‘at least 625,000’ members from the previous guidance of ‘at least 500,000’ members. The membership estimate represents expected net membership gains of 13.6 percent over the year ended December 31, 2022 membership of approximately 4.6 million members, above the Company’s expectation of high single-digit industry growth.

The upward revision is attributable to higher sales volumes and favorable member retention.

Full Year 2023 Adjusted EPS Commentary

For FY 2023, the Company intends to reiterate its commitment to grow 2023 Adjusted earnings per common share (“Adjusted EPS”) within its targeted long-term range of 11-15 percent from its expected 2022 Adjusted EPS of approximately $25.00. As communicated on the Company’s third quarter 2022 earnings call on November 2, 2022, it expects the consensus estimate of approximately $27.90 (as of November 2, 2022) to be in line with its initial Adjusted EPS guidance.

The increased 2023 individual Medicare Advantage membership projection is not expected to have a material impact on FY2023 Adjusted EPS expectations.

Full Year 2022 Adjusted EPS Guidance

For the year ended December 31, 2022 (“FY 2022”) the Company intends to reaffirm its guidance of approximately $23.27 in diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”), or approximately $25.00 in Adjusted EPS. This guidance is consistent with the guidance issued in Humana’s press release dated November 2, 2022 and reaffirmed on December 1, 2022.

The Company has included Adjusted EPS in this current report, a financial measure that is not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that this measure, when presented in conjunction with the comparable measure of GAAP EPS, is useful to both management and its investors in analyzing the Company’s ongoing business and operating performance. Consequently, management uses Adjusted EPS as an indicator of the Company’s business performance, as well as for operational planning and decision-making purposes. Adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP EPS. A reconciliation of GAAP EPS to Adjusted EPS follows:
