NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K").
Note 1 - For purposes of these condensed financial statements, The Cigna Group's (the "Company") wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries are recorded using the equity method of accounting. On January 1, 2023, The Cigna Group and its subsidiaries adopted Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-12 and related amendments. See Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for a description of the key provisions and impacts.
The Cigna Group, through its predecessor companies, was incorporated in Delaware in 1981. Cigna Corporation was renamed The Cigna Group in February 2023.
Note 2 - See Note 8 – Debt included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for a description of the short-term and long-term debt obligations of The Cigna Group and its subsidiaries.
Short-term and Credit Facilities Debt
Revolving Credit Agreements. Our revolving credit agreements provide us with the ability to borrow amounts for general corporate purposes, including for the purpose of providing liquidity support if necessary under our commercial paper program discussed below. As of December 31, 2023, there were no outstanding balances under these revolving credit agreements.
In April 2023, The Cigna Group entered into the following revolving credit agreements (the "Credit Agreements"):
-
a $4.0 billion five-year revolving credit and letter of credit agreement that will mature in April 2028 with an option to extend the maturity date for additional one-year periods, subject to consent of the banks. The Company can borrow up to $4.0 billion under the credit agreement for general corporate purposes, with up to $500 million available for issuance of letters of credit.
-
a $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement that will mature in April 2024. The Company can borrow up to $1.0 billion under the credit agreement for general corporate purposes. This agreement includes the option to "term out" any revolving loans that are outstanding at maturity by converting them into a term loan maturing on the one-year anniversary of conversion.
Each of the Credit Agreements include an option to increase commitments in an aggregate amount of up to $1.5 billion across both facilities for a maximum total commitment of $6.5 billion. The Credit Agreements allow for borrowings at either a base rate or an adjusted term Secured Overnight Funding Rate ("SOFR") plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on the Company's senior unsecured credit ratings.
Each of the two facilities is diversified among 21 banks. Each facility also contains customary covenants and restrictions, including a financial covenant that the Company's leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreements, may not exceed 60%, subject to certain exceptions upon the consummation of an acquisition.
The Credit Agreements replaced a prior $3.0 billion five-year revolving credit and letter of credit agreement maturing on April 2027, a $1.0 billion three-year revolving credit agreement maturing on April 2025 and a $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement maturing in April 2023.
Commercial Paper. Under our commercial paper program, we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes privately placed on a discounted basis through certain broker-dealers at any time not to exceed an aggregate amount of $5.0 billion. Amounts available under the program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. The net proceeds of issuances have been and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The commercial paper program had approximately
$1.2 billion outstanding at December 31, 2023 and an average interest rate of 5.63%.
FS-5
Long-Term Debt
Debt Issuance and Debt Tender Offers. On February 5, 2024, we issued $4.5 billion of new senior notes. The proceeds from this debt were used to pay the consideration for the cash tender offers as described below. We intend to use the remaining net proceeds to fund the repayment of our senior notes maturing in March 2024 and for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness and repurchases of shares of our common stock.
Concurrent with the debt issuance, The Company and its subsidiaries commenced tender offers to purchase for cash up to $2.25 billion in aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes, which included any and all of the $1.0 billion senior notes due June 2024. Following the early tender results, we increased the tender offers to up to $2.55 billion. On February 22, 2024, we purchased $1.8 billion principal amount of notes at early settlement of the tender offers. The tender offers will expire on March 5, 2024.
On March 7, 2023, the Company issued $1.5 billion of new senior notes. The proceeds of this issuance were used for general
corporate purposes, and included repayment of outstanding debt securities. Interest on this debt is paid semi-annually.

Debt Covenants. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of December 31, 2023.
Note 3 - The Company's intercompany receivables consist primarily of net intercompany loan amounts due from Evernorth Health, Inc. of $8.5 billion as of December 31, 2023 and $8.3 billion as of December 31, 2022. Interest income on the loan receivable was accrued at an average rate of 5.21% in 2023.
The Company's intercompany payables primarily reflect intercompany balances related to cash pooling arrangements as well as net intercompany loan borrowing from three indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023. Interest expense on the loan payable was accrued at an average rate of 3.65% in 2023.
Note 4 - The Company guaranteed approximately $2.9 billion primarily related to intercompany indebtedness and financial obligations of certain direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. There were immaterial liabilities required for these guarantees as of December 31, 2023. Effective January 2024, the amount of such guarantees increased to $6.4 billion.
Note 5 - In February 2024, as part of our existing share repurchase program, we entered into separate ASR agreements ("2024 ASR agreements") with Deutsche Bank AG and Bank of America, N.A. (collectively, the "2024 Counterparties") to repurchase $3.2 billion of common stock in aggregate. We remitted $3.2 billion to the 2024 Counterparties and received an initial delivery of approximately 7.6 million shares of our common stock on February 15, 2024 representing $2.6 billion of the total remitted. We expect final settlement under the 2024 ASR agreements to occur in the second quarter of 2024.
