“Our continued growth, which positions us well for the coming years, is rooted in the innovative products and responsive service of our people that are embraced each day across the full range of health care participants,” said Andrew Witty, chief executive officer of UnitedHealth Group.
The company’s full year 2024 net earnings outlook of $15.50 to $15.75 per share reflects the South America operations disposition activities reported in the first half of 2024 and Change Healthcare cyberattack impacts.
The company’s adjusted net earnings outlook of $27.50 to $27.75 continues within the $27.50 to $28.00 range established nearly a year ago, even as it absorbs an estimated $0.75 per share of business disruption impacts for the affected Change Healthcare services, which have increased ~$0.10 per share from the estimate provided last quarter.

Third quarter 2024 revenues grew nearly $8.5 billion to $100.8 billion, led by strong expansion in people served at Optum and UnitedHealthcare. Third quarter earnings from operations were $8.7 billion, including $0.3 billion in unfavorable cyberattack effects. Adjusted earnings from operations of $9.0 billion include the Change Healthcare business disruption impacts and exclude the cyberattack direct response costs.
The third quarter 2024 medical care ratio was 85.2% compared to 82.3% last year. Among factors contributing to the increase were the previously noted CMS Medicare funding reductions, medical reserve development effects and business and member mix. The company did not have any favorable earnings impacting medical reserve development in the quarter.
Days claims payable of 47.4 compared to 45.2 in the second quarter of 2024 and 50.7 in the third quarter of 2023. The increase from the second quarter 2024 was due to a return to more normal claims submission patterns from care providers. The change from the year ago level reflected continued impact due to the accelerated claims payment timeframes.
The third quarter of 2024 operating cost ratio of 13.2% compares to 13.3% in the second quarter of 2024 and 15.0% in the prior year, reflecting continued strong operating cost efficiency.
Cash flows from operations from the third quarter of 2024 were $14.0 billion, or 2.2 times net income, in part reflecting the timing of cash receipts. The company returned over $9.6 billion to shareholders through the first nine months of 2024 through dividends and share repurchases. Return on equity of 26.3% in the quarter reflected the company’s consistent, broad-based earnings and efficient capital structure.
UnitedHealthcare provides health care benefits globally, serving individuals and employers, and Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. UnitedHealthcare is dedicated to improving the value customers and consumers receive by improving health and wellness, enhancing the quality of care received, simplifying the health care experience, and reducing the total cost of care.

UnitedHealthcare third quarter revenues of $74.9 billion increased $5 billion over the prior year, reflecting growth in the number of people served domestically. Operating earnings were $4.2 billion.
Year to date, the number of consumers served domestically with the company’s commercial offerings grew by 2.4 million to 29.7 million, as UnitedHealthcare’s innovative and consumer-focused product portfolio continues to resonate with consumers and employers.
UnitedHealthcare serves 9.4 million seniors and people with complex needs and the company’s 2025 Medicare Advantage plans will reach 96% of eligible Medicare beneficiaries. Recently released Stars scores by CMS for plan year 2026 are consistent with initial levels for plan year 2025 and company expectations.
Total people served by the company’s state-based community offerings grew from the second quarter to 7.5 million, as the state-driven Medicaid eligibility redeterminations process concluded. The UnitedHealthcare team is continuing its comprehensive outreach to help families maintain, reinstate, or find other affordable coverage.

UnitedHealth stock jumps after earnings top estimates despite rising medical costs
UnitedHealth Group’
s stock price jumped Friday after the health-care conglomerate reported second-quarter revenue and adjusted earnings that topped Wall Street’s expectations despite rising medical costs.
The results eased investor concerns after the Minnesota-based company flagged a surge in demand for non-urgent surgeries and outpatient services last month and spooked the market.
Shares of UnitedHealth closed up more than 7% Friday. The stock is down more than 9% so far this year, however.
UnitedHealth Group is the biggest health-care company in the U.S. by market cap and revenue, and is even bigger than the nation’s largest banks. Given its size, UnitedHealth Group is considered a bellwether for the broader health insurance sector. Its market value was around $447 billion as of Friday’s close.
Here’s what UnitedHealth Group reported compared with Wall Street’s expectations, based on a survey of analysts by Refinitiv:
Earnings per share: $6.14 adjusted vs. $5.99 expected
Revenue: $92.9 billion vs. $91.01 billion expected
UnitedHealth Group reported a net income of $5.47 billion, or $5.82 per share, for the quarter. That compares with $5.07 billion, or $5.34 per share, for the same period a year ago. Excluding certain items, the company’s adjusted earnings per share were $6.14 for the period.
The company reported total revenue of $92.9 billion for the quarter, up 16% from the same period a year ago. That excludes $33.6 billion in “eliminations,” which are payments from the company’s UnitedHealthcare business to its other division, Optum. UnitedHealth Group can’t record those transactions as revenue because it is paying itself.
UnitedHealthcare, which provides insurance coverage and benefits services to more than 50 million people, saw second-quarter revenue grow 13% from a year ago to $70.2 billion.
The company’s other platform, Optum, saw revenue increase nearly 25% from a year ago to $56.3 billion. Optum offers health services and runs one of the largest pharmacy benefit managers, or middlemen who negotiate drug discounts with drug manufacturers on behalf of health insurers and large employers.
Optum’s growth was helped in part by UnitedHealth Group’s roughly $8 billion acquisition of the health care technology company Change Healthcare.
It was also driven by a more than 900,000 year-over-year increase in the number of patients served by Optum’s health services business under value-based care arrangements.
UnitedHealth Group raised the low end of its full-year adjusted earnings outlook to $24.70 to $25.00 per share, from a previous forecast of $24.50 to $25.00 per share.
The company’s medical cost ratio – the percentage of payout on claims compared with premiums – came in at 83.2%. Analysts had estimated that ratio would be 83.3% for the quarter, according to FactSet.
The medical cost ratio is up almost 2% from the same period a year ago. UnitedHealth Care said that was driven by the previously noted uptick in elective surgeries and outpatient care activity, primarily among seniors.
“To illustrate, in the second quarter, outpatient care activity among seniors was a few hundred basis points above our expectations,” UnitedHealth Group CFO John Rex said during an earnings call.
Rex noted that much of that care has come from seniors who are getting heart procedures and hip and knee replacements at outpatient clinics, reiterating his previous remarks at the Goldman Sachs health-care conference last month.
UnitedHealth Group expects its medical cost ratio to “be a little bit lower” in the third quarter compared with the second quarter, Rex said during the call.
He added that the company also expects the medical cost ratio in the third quarter to be “higher marginally” than it will be in the fourth quarter, noting that it’s “just a seasonality factor.”
But overall, the company expects the “general pacing of care activity to remain consistent,” according to Rex.
Insurance companies have benefited in recent years from a delay in nonurgent procedures due to hospital staffing shortages and the pandemic, which saw hospitals inundated with Covid patients. Hospitals at that time were widely seen as too risky to enter for elective procedures.
But UnitedHealth Group executives indicated that the trend may be reversing.
