Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Humana Inc. in this document present the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and should be read in conjunction with the following discussion and analysis. References to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company,” and “Humana” mean Humana Inc. and its subsidiaries. This discussion includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, in our press releases, investor presentations, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our executive officers, the words or phrases like “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “likely will result,” “estimates,” “projects” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward–looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among other things, information set forth in Item 1A. – Risk Factors in our 2025 Form 10-K, as modified by any changes to those risk factors included in this document and in other reports we filed subsequent to February 19, 2026, in each case incorporated by reference herein. In making these statements, we are not undertaking to address or update such forward-looking statements in future filings or communications regarding our business or results. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward–looking events discussed in this document might not occur. There may also be other risks that we are unable to predict at this time. Any of these risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Executive Overview

General

Humana Inc., headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, is a leading U.S. healthcare company. Through our Humana insurance services and our CenterWell healthcare services, we make it easier for the millions of people we serve to achieve their best health – delivering the care and service they need, when they need it. These efforts are leading to a better quality of life for people with Medicare and Medicaid, families, individuals, military service personnel, and communities at large.

Our industry relies on two key statistics to measure performance. The benefit ratio, which is computed by taking

total benefits expense as a percentage of premiums revenue, represents a statistic used to measure underwriting profitability. The operating cost ratio, which is computed by taking total operating costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of total revenues less investment income, represents a statistic used to measure administrative spending efficiency.

MaxHealth Acquisition

On February 13, 2026, we acquired MaxHealth, a leading primary care platform focused on providing high-quality, integrated care to adults and senior patients throughout Florida, for cash consideration of approximately $908 million, net of cash acquired. This resulted in a preliminary purchase price allocation to goodwill of approximately $800 million, other intangible assets of $71 million, and net tangible assets acquired of $59 million. The other intangible assets, which primarily consist of member relationships and trade names, have an estimated weighted average useful life of 6.9 years. The purchase price allocation is preliminary, subject to completion of valuation analysis, including for example, refining assumptions used to calculate the fair value of intangible assets.

Value Creation Initiative****s and Impairment Charges

In order to create capacity to fund growth in our businesses, we committed to drive additional value for the enterprise through cost saving and productivity initiatives. In addition, in response to sustained macroeconomic, regulatory and competitive pressures impacting the industry, we initiated a substantial multi-year transformation program designed to re-align our cost structure, operating model and technology footprint with evolving market conditions.

As a result of these initiatives, we recorded charges of $56 million and $154 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $29 million and $53 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, within operating costs in the consolidated statements of income. The charges primarily relate

Table of Contents

to severance and associate exit costs, asset impairments, and external consulting expenses incurred to execute the program. We expect to incur additional charges over the course of the program.

In addition, we recorded impairment charges related to minority-interest investments of $21 million within net investment income in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $32 million, relating to indefinite-lived intangible assets, within operating costs in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Business Segments

Our two reportable segments, Insurance and CenterWell, are based on a combination of the type of health plan customer and adjacent businesses centered on well-being solutions for our health plans and other customers, as described below. Our Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Decision Maker, utilizes these segment groupings and results of each segment, measured by income (loss) from operations, to assess performance and allocate resources primarily during our annual budget process and periodic forecast updates.

The Insurance segment consists of Medicare benefits, marketed to individuals or directly via group Medicare accounts, as well as our stand-alone prescription drug plans, or PDP, and contracts with various states to provide Medicaid, and Long-Term Support Services benefits, which we refer to collectively as our state-based contracts. This segment also includes products consisting of specialty health insurance benefits marketed to individuals and employer groups, including dental, vision, and other supplemental health benefits. In addition, our Insurance segment includes our Military services business as well as the operations of our PBM business.

The CenterWell segment includes our pharmacy solutions, primary care, and home solutions operations. Services offered by this segment are designed to enhance the overall healthcare experience. These services may lead to lower utilization associated with improved member health and/or lower drug costs.

Transactions between reportable segments primarily consist of sales of products and services rendered by our CenterWell segment, primarily pharmacy solutions, primary care, and home solutions, to our Insurance segment customers. Intersegment sales and expenses are recorded primarily at fair value and eliminated in consolidation. Members served by our segments often use the same provider networks, enabling us in some instances to obtain more favorable contract terms with providers. Our segments also share indirect costs and assets. As a result, the profitability of each segment is interdependent. We allocate most operating expenses to our segments. Assets and certain corporate income and expenses are not allocated to the segments, including the portion of investment income not supporting segment operations, interest expense on corporate debt, and certain other corporate expenses. These items are managed at a corporate level. These corporate amounts are reported separately from our reportable segments and are included with intersegment eliminations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our earnings and financial position are exposed to financial market risk, including those resulting from changes in interest rates.

Interest rate risk also represents a market risk factor affecting our consolidated financial position due to our significant investment portfolio, consisting primarily of fixed maturity securities of investment-grade quality with a weighted average S&P credit rating of AA- at June 30, 2026. Our net unrealized position increased $0.2 billion from a net unrealized loss position of $0.8 billion at December 31, 2025 to a net unrealized loss position of $1.0 billion at June 30, 2026. At June 30, 2026, we had gross unrealized losses of $1.0 billion on our investment portfolio primarily due to an increase in market interest rates since the time the securities were purchased. We did not record any material credit allowances for debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position during the six months ended June 30, 2026. While we believe that these impairments will be recovered and we currently do not have intent to sell such securities, given the current market conditions and the significant judgments involved, there is a continuing risk that future declines in fair value may occur and material realized losses from sales or credit allowances may be recorded in future periods.

Duration is the time-weighted average of the present value of the bond portfolio’s cash flow. Duration is indicative of the relationship between changes in fair value and changes in interest rates, providing a general indication of the sensitivity of the fair values of our fixed maturity securities to changes in interest rates. However, actual fair values may differ significantly from estimates based on duration. The average duration of our investment portfolio, including cash and cash equivalents, was approximately 3.3 years as of June 30, 2026 and 3.6 years as of December 31, 2025. Based on the duration, including cash equivalents, a 1% increase in interest rates would generally decrease the fair value of our securities by approximately $766 million at June 30, 2026.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, our Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, and our Principal Accounting Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Based on our evaluation, our CEO, CFO, and our Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information the Company is required to disclose in its reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, including, without limitation, ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
