Cigna Completes $6.3B Sale Of Non-Medical Insurance Unit To New York Life
Dec 2020
Cigna completed the sale of its group life and disability insurance unit to New York Life Insurance for $6.3 billion in a move to focus on its healthcare businesses, the companies announced Thursday. The acquisition of Cigna’s group life, accident, and disability insurance business, first announced a year ago, adds about 3,000 employees and more than nine million customers to New York Life’s “portfolio of strategic businesses,” the companies said.
Cigna said it expects to realize $5.3 billion in “net after-tax proceeds” and “expects to utilize the proceeds primarily for share repurchase and repayment of debt,” the company said in a filing Thursday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Cigna has said it will also use proceeds to pay down debt accumulated from its $67 billion acquisition of the pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts more than a year ago. Meanwhile, Cigna is focusing on its health offerings to consumers, employers and those insured by Medicaid and Medicare. Cigna is in a race with rival health insurance companies like UnitedHealth Group, Anthem, Humana and CVS Health’s Aetna health insurance business to grow its business administering health benefits for seniors as more flock to Medicare Advantage plans.

Cigna leadership used covert tactics to 'blow up' $48B Anthem deal, lawsuit claims
Nov 2020
A merger between Cigna and Anthem failed because Cigna's CEO and board intentionally sabotaged the proposed $48 billion deal, according to an unsealed lawsuit filed by Cigna investors. The lawsuit, cited by Bloomberg, was filed by the Massachusetts Laborers' Annuity Fund. It seeks unspecified damages from the botched deal to be returned to Cigna investors. The lawsuit was filed under seal Nov. 17 in the Delaware Chancery Court and unsealed Nov. 23. In its lawsuit, the Massachusetts pension fund accuses Cigna CEO David Cordani and the company's board of using "black-ops-style" measures to intentionally "blow up" the transaction. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that Mr. Cordani began working to sabotage the deal after he wasn't picked for the top position in the merged company.

Doubling Down On Analytics And Data At Cigna
Aug 2020
Cigna has been working with data and analytics for many years. Throughout our careers we have provided periodic counsel and have known Cigna to do interesting, ambitious work to use data and analytics to improve their business. But now Cigna is taking data and analytics to a new level. The giant global health services company—ranked #13 in the 2020 Fortune 500, with over $153 billion in 2019 revenues—acquired the pharmacy benefits manager ExpressScripts at the end of 2018. In that same year Cigna established its first Global Data and Analytics organization, and appointed Gina Papush into the role of Chief Global Data and Analytics Officer. Papush and her colleagues are in the middle of an ambitious journey to create a leading data and analytics capability in one of the most data- and analytics-oriented industries in the world, and to transform the business of healthcare.
Befitting the large organization and ambitious objectives of the GD&A organization, there are multiple groups and initiatives within it. Multiple teams enable data and analytics for specific business units; for example, there are groups for Health Plan Analytics, co-led by Glenn Gerhard and Anthony Matteo (in which Cigna partners with employers and a network of over a million provider organizations), and Pharmacy and Specialty Solutions Analytics, led by Matt McGinnis. Clinical and Customer Analytics team is led by Doug Melton, focused on population health, health economics, and clinical studies. The Government Business Segment Analytics group focuses on analytics enabling Cigna’s Medicare and Individual/Family Plans businesses. Cigna’s International Markets unit is supported by analytics teams across multiple geographical regions. And the Health Services unit—formerly ExpressScripts—has several analytics groups that are partnering closely with GD&A under the leadership of Dr. Glen Stettin, Cigna's Chief Innovation Officer.

Comments from David Cordani - CEO:
"At Cigna, we've been in a journey, an important one over the past two years to significantly accelerate our strategic path. During the 2020, we completed the integration of our combination with Express Scripts, and delivered on our integration priorities, including revenue growth, cash flow generation, de-leveraging targets, strong client retention, high levels of coworker retention, and working to keep our vision top of mind with innovations and improved affordability, predictability, and simplicity delivered to the market. In addition, we delivered another important milestone of our strategic journey by launching Evernorth, our health services platform, which has meaningfully grown our strategic partnerships and is bringing innovative solutions to the market already."
"We also made a series of leadership changes to align our capabilities and further operationalize our strategy, reinforcing our talent depth, and our commitment to continue to grow and develop our team. And based on the capital and cash flow strength of our company, we are demonstrating the ability to have [an and] [Ph] orientation to our capital deployment strategy. This means we're able to reinvest in our business for ongoing growth, and pay a meaningful quarterly dividend, and deployed substantial capital to share repurchase, and target and pursue strategic M&A. At the same time, we continue to execute effectively across each of our businesses by delivering value to our clients and customers or patients."
"Throughout 2021, we expect the macro environment to remain dynamic, which presents both challenges and opportunities for us. Among the challenges, we expect COVID-19 and the rollout of the vaccine to continue to tax an already overburdened healthcare system. And we expect intensified and much needed focus on health disparities to continue as well. At the same time, we also see opportunities. They include greater recognition of the importance of the employer-sponsored market with companies playing even more critical role in ensuring the wellbeing of their employees by offering comprehensive medical, pharmacy, and behavioral services."
"There were also a number of accelerating trends that will further drive fundamental changes in healthcare. For example, pharmacological innovations are quickly becoming the future of healthcare driven in part by the continued rise in specialty pharmaceuticals, gene therapies, and the evolution of the biosimilars. There is also a greater recognition and acceptance of the link between mental health and physical health. And we see care access rapidly changing as a result of consumer behavior and technology and data innovation leading to growing use of virtual visits and coordinated home-based care all aided by advancements in remote monitoring as well. Against this backdrop, the progress we achieved in 2020 along with the strength of our capabilities that gives us confidence that we will deliver at least $20 of adjusted earnings per share in 2021 even in the face of COVID-19 headwinds primarily in the form of elevated medical costs."
