Evernorth pre-tax margin measures pre-tax adjusted income from operations as a percentage of adjusted revenue under Cigna's segment methodology.

Evernorth reported a 2.7% pre-tax margin in the second quarter of 2026, down from 2.9% a year earlier.

Margin contracted despite adjusted revenue growth

Adjusted revenue increased 6% while pre-tax adjusted income from operations declined 2%.

That divergence shows how client initiatives, claims mix, and operating costs can offset top-line growth.

The numerator and denominator are both adjusted

Cigna defines the measure using pre-tax adjusted income from operations divided by adjusted revenue.

Compare it with Evernorth SG&A expense ratio and PBM adjusted pre-tax income growth.
