LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Hims & Hers Health, Inc. ('Hims & Hers' or 'the Company') (NYSE: HIMS) for violations of the securities laws.
The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors. Hims & Hers is the subject of an announcement by Novo Nordisk issued on June 23, 2025. According to Novo Nordisk, it is ending its relationship with the Company 'due to concerns about their illegal mass compounding and deceptive marketing.' According to the press release, 'the FDA resolved the Wegovy ® shortage based on its conclusion that Novo Nordisk is fully meeting current and projected nationwide demand for this medicine. In support of transitioning patients from knock-off compounded versions to authentic, FDA-approved Wegovy ® through NovoCare ® Pharmacy, Novo Nordisk began collaborating with telehealth companies. Over one month into the collaboration, Hims & Hers Health, Inc. has failed to adhere to the law which prohibits mass sales of compounded drugs under the false guise of 'personalization' and are disseminating deceptive marketing that put patient safety at risk.' Based on this news, shares of Hims & Hers fell by more than 32.4% in afternoon trading on the same day.

CENTENE CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2025 RESULTS

-- Diluted Loss Per Share of $(0.51); Adjusted Diluted Loss Per Share of $(0.16) -- ST. LOUIS, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC) (the Company) announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. In summary, the 2025 second quarter results were as follows: Total revenues (in millions) $ 48,742 Premium and service revenues (in millions) $ 42,467 Health benefits ratio 93.0 % SG&A expense ratio 7.1 % Adjusted SG&A expense ratio (1) 7.1 % GAAP diluted loss per share $ (0.51) Adjusted diluted loss per share (1) $ (0.16) Total cash flow provided by operations (in millions) $ 1,785 (1) Represents a non-GAAP financial measure. A full reconciliation of the adjusted diluted loss per share and adjusted selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses is shown in the Non-GAAP Financial Presentation section of this release. "We are disappointed by our second quarter results, but we have a clear understanding of the trends that have impacted our performance, and are working with urgency and focus to restore our earnings trajectory," said Chief Executive Officer of Centene, Sarah M. London. "Despite the shifting landscape, we believe that the staying power of Medicaid, Medicare and the Individual Marketplace is as strong as it has ever been. Centene has significantly fortified our platform in service of these programs over the last three years, and as we move forward, we are focused on continuing to adapt with the market to deliver meaningful value to our members, our stakeholders and our shareholders over the long term." Awards & Community Engagement Since May, Centene and its Missouri subsidiary, Home State Health, have been supporting the St. Louis community impacted by tornadoes through donations as well as volunteer hours. In June, WellCare of Kentucky announced relief efforts to support communities impacted by the tornadoes in Eastern Kentucky. WellCare, with additional funding from the Centene Foundation, will support housing and rebuilding, disperse financial assistance, and provide basic supplies to help people recover. In June, Centene was named one of Newsweek's America's Greatest Workplaces for the third consecutive year. The recognition is based on employee feedback about company culture, leadership, integrity, compensation, work-life balance, and more. In May, the Company was also named to Becker's 150 Top Places to Work in Healthcare and to Newsweek's America's Greatest Workplaces for Gen Z 2025, for the second consecutive year. In May, Health Net and the Centene Foundation announced grants to expand healthcare services to underserved Californians through mobile health clinics. The investment is part of Health Net's new Mobile Outreach for Value, Equity and Sustainability (MOVES) program that targets rural or resource-limited areas and will help deliver preventative care, health education, and social services directly to neighborhoods facing barriers to traditional healthcare access.

(3) Membership includes Commercial Group, Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) and Other Off-Exchange Individual. (4) Membership includes Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement. Premium and Service Revenues The following table sets forth supplemental revenue information ($ in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, 20252024% Change Medicaid $ 21,723$ 20,2507 % Commercial 10,0708,53518 % Medicare (1) 9,4505,97858 % Other 1,2241,2101 % Total premium and service revenues $ 42,467$ 35,97318 %(1) Medicare includes Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and Medicare PDP. Statement of Operations: Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 For the second quarter of 2025, premium and service revenues increased 18% to $42.5 billion from $36.0 billion in the comparable period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by premium and membership growth in the PDP business along with overall market growth in the Marketplace business, and rate increases in the Medicaid business, partially offset by lower Medicaid membership as a result of redeterminations and lower Marketplace net risk adjustment revenue. The three months ended June 30, 2024, benefited from outperformance in Marketplace risk adjustment for the 2023 benefit year. Health benefits ratio (HBR) of 93.0% for the second quarter of 2025 represents an increase from 87.6% in the comparable period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a reduction in the Company's net 2025 Marketplace risk adjustment revenue transfer estimate, increased Marketplace medical costs, higher medical costs in Medicaid driven primarily by behavioral health, home health and high-cost drugs, and an increase to the 2025 Medicare Advantage premium deficiency reserve based on the progression of earnings during the year (with higher earnings at the beginning of the year and lower at the end of the year, given cost sharing progression). The SG&A expense ratio was 7.1% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 8.0% in the second quarter of 2024. The adjusted SG&A expense ratio was 7.1% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 8.0% in the second quarter of 2024. The decreases were primarily driven by continued leveraging of expenses over higher revenues and growth in the PDP business. The decreases were partially offset by growth in the Marketplace business, which operates at a meaningfully higher SG&A expense ratio as compared to the overall company. The income tax expense recorded in the second quarter of 2025 reflects the year-to-date impact of a lower estimated full year 2025 effective tax rate. Diluted loss per share was $(0.51) for the second quarter of 2025 driven primarily by a reduction in the Company's net 2025 Marketplace risk adjustment revenue transfer estimate. Cash flow provided by operations for the second quarter of 2025 was $1.8 billion, primarily driven by improved pharmacy rebate remittance timing. Balance Sheet At June 30, 2025, the Company had cash, investments and restricted deposits of $37.5 billion and maintained $234 million of cash and cash equivalents in its unregulated entities. Medical claims liabilities totaled $20.1 billion. The Company's days in claims payable (DCP) was 47 days, a decrease of two days as compared to the first quarter of 2025 driven by the timing and types of claims, as well as the impact of state-directed payments. Total debt was $17.6 billion, which included no borrowings on the $4.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility at quarter end. Outlook The Company will provide 2025 earnings expectations on the conference call. Conference Call As previously announced, the Company will host a conference call Friday, July 25, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. ET to review the financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Presentation The Company is providing certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release as the Company believes that these figures are helpful in allowing investors to more accurately assess the ongoing nature of the Company's operations and measure the Company's performance more consistently across periods. The Company uses the presented non-GAAP financial measures internally in evaluating the Company's performance and for planning purposes, by allowing management to focus on period-to-period changes in the Company's core business operations, and in determining employee incentive compensation. Therefore, the Company believes that this information is meaningful in addition to the information contained in the GAAP presentation of financial information. The Company strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and cautions investors that the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, the Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and divestiture related expenses, as well as other items, allows investors to develop a more meaningful understanding of the Company's core performance over time. The tables below provide reconciliations of non-GAAP items ($ in millions, except per share data):Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,2025202420252024 GAAP net earnings (loss) attributable to Centene $ (253)$ 1,146$ 1,058$ 2,309 Amortization of acquired intangible assets 173173346346 Acquisition and divestiture related expenses 16167 Other adjustments (1) 58261(97) Income tax effects of adjustments (2) (58)(44)(100)(126) Adjusted net earnings (loss) $ (79)$ 1,283$ 1,366$ 2,499 ‌(1) Other adjustments include the following pre-tax items: ‌ 2025: (a) for the three months ended June 30, 2025: intangible asset impairment related to the wind-down of certain contracts in the Other segment of $55 million and a reduction to the previously reported gain on real estate transactions of $3 million;

SG&A Expense Ratio (GAAP) = Selling, general and administrative expenses divided by premium and service revenues. Adjusted SG&A Expense Ratio (non-GAAP) = Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses divided by premium and service revenues. Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (non-GAAP) = GAAP income tax expense (benefit) excluding the income tax effects of adjustments to net earnings divided by adjusted earnings (loss) before income tax expense. Adjusted Net Earnings (non-GAAP) = Net earnings less amortization of acquired intangible assets, less acquisition and divestiture related expenses, as well as adjustments for other items, net of the income tax effect of the adjustments. Adjusted Diluted EPS (non-GAAP) = Adjusted net earnings divided by weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis. Debt to Capitalization Ratio (GAAP) = Total debt, divided by total debt plus total stockholder's equity. Average Medical Claims Expense (GAAP) = Medical costs for the period divided by number of days in such period. Average medical claims expense is most often calculated for the quarterly reporting period. Days in Claims Payable (GAAP) = Medical claims liabilities divided by average medical claims expense. Days in claims payable is most often calculated for the quarterly reporting period. In addition, the following terms are defined as follows: State-directed Payments: Payments directed by a state that have minimal risk but are administered as a premium adjustment. These payments are recorded as premium revenue and medical costs at close to a 100% HBR. In many instances, the Company has little visibility to the timing of these payments until they are paid by a state. Pass-through Payments: Non-risk supplemental payments from a state that the Company is required to pass through to designated contracted providers. These payments are recorded as premium tax revenue and premium tax expense.

"This performance reflects the growing demand for our advice and solutions, driven by an increasingly complex environment and the need to unlock new sources of capital. Our solutions are resonating with clients and we are effectively meeting that demand. The continued successful execution of our Aon United strategy – operationalized by our 3x3 Plan and powered by Aon Business Services – is fueling sustainable organic growth, margin expansion and free cash flow growth, as we invest in our business. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our outlook and are reaffirming our full-year 2025 guidance." Net income attributable to Aon shareholders increased 8%, to $2.66 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $2.46 per share on a diluted basis, in the prior year period. Adjusted net income per share attributable to Aon shareholders increased 19% to $3.49 on a diluted basis compared to $2.93 in the prior year period. Certain items that impacted second quarter results and comparisons with the prior year period are detailed in "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Operating Income, Operating Margin and Diluted Earnings Per Share" on page 11 of this press release. SECOND QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL SUMMARY Total revenue in the second quarter increased 11% to $4.2 billion compared to the prior year period, reflecting 6% organic revenue growth, the contribution from NFP and 1% favorable impact from foreign currency translation. Risk Capital revenue increased $216 million, or 8%, to $2.9 billion and Human Capital revenue increased $166 million, or 15%, to $1.3 billion. Total operating expenses in the second quarter increased 6% to $3.3 billion compared to the prior year period due primarily to the inclusion of NFP's ongoing operating expenses, an increase in intangible asset amortization associated with the NFP acquisition and an increase in expense associated with 6% organic revenue growth and investments in long-term growth, partially offset by transaction costs incurred in the prior year period, lower Accelerating Aon United program expense and $35 million of net restructuring savings. Risk Capital operating expenses increased $136 million, or 7%, to $2.0 billion and Human Capital operating expenses increased $139 million, or 13%, to $1.2 billion. Foreign currency translation had a de minimis impact on EPS in the second quarter. If currency were to remain stable at today's rates, the Company would expect an unfavorable impact on adjusted EPS of approximately $0.05 per share for the full year 2025. Effective tax rate was 15.5% in the second quarter compared to 22.9% in the prior year period. After adjusting to exclude the applicable tax impact associated with certain non-GAAP adjustments, the adjusted effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was 16.5% compared to 22.2% in the prior year period. The primary drivers of the change in adjusted effective tax rate were the net favorable impact from discrete items and changes in the geographical distribution of income. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding increased to 217.3 million in the second quarter compared to 213.3 million in the prior year period. The Company repurchased 0.7 million class A ordinary shares for approximately $250 million in the second quarter. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $1.8 billion of remaining authorization under its share repurchase program. YEAR TO DATE 2025 CASH FLOW SUMMARY Cash flows provided by operations for the first six months of 2025 increased $114 million, or 14%, to $936 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to strong adjusted operating income growth and days sales outstanding improvements, partially offset by higher payments related to incentive compensation, interest, and restructuring. Free cash flow, defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, increased 13%, to $816 million for the first six months of 2025 compared to the prior year period, reflecting an increase in cash flows provided by operations, partially offset by a $19 million increase in capital expenditures. SECOND QUARTER 2025 REVENUE REVIEW The second quarter revenue reviews provided below include supplemental information related to Organic revenue growth, which is a non-GAAP measure that is described in detail in "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Organic Revenue Growth and Free Cash Flow" on page 10 of this press release.

Risk Capital Commercial Risk Solutions Organic revenue growth of 6% reflects growth across all major geographies driven by net new business and ongoing strong retention. Performance was highlighted by strong growth globally in core P&C and strength in M&A services relative to the prior year. Market impact was modestly positive. Reinsurance Solutions Organic revenue growth of 6% reflects double-digit increases in insurance-linked securities and facultative placements.

Depreciation of fixed assets increased $2 million, or 4%, compared to the prior year period. Amortization and impairment of intangible assets increased $73 million, or 57%, compared to the prior year period due primarily to an increase in intangible assets related to the acquisition of NFP. Other general expense decreased $82 million, or 18%, compared to the prior year period due primarily to a decrease in transaction and integration costs. Accelerating Aon United Restructuring Program expense decreased $38 million, or 29%, compared to the prior year period due to lower costs related to workforce optimization and asset impairments, partially offset by higher costs related to technology and other costs. SECOND QUARTER 2025 INCOME SUMMARY Certain noteworthy items impacted adjusted operating income and Adjusted operating margin in the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, which are also described in detail in "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Operating Income, Operating Margin and Diluted Earnings Per Share" on page 11 of this press release.

Adjusted operating income increased $142 million, or 14%, and Adjusted operating margin increased 80 basis points to 28.2%, each compared to the prior year period. The increase in adjusted operating income reflects organic revenue growth, the impact from NFP, and net restructuring savings, partially offset by increased expenses and investments in long-term growth. Interest income decreased $31 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to interest earned in the prior year period on the investment of $5 billion of term debt proceeds which were used to fund the purchase of NFP. Interest expense decreased $13 million compared to the prior year period, reflecting lower total debt. Other income was $56 million compared to $236 million in the prior year period, primarily due to gains related to the sale of a business in the prior year period, partially offset by deferred consideration from the 2017 sale of our outsourcing business. Adjusted other expense was $32 million compared to $15 million in the prior year period, primarily due to the unfavorable impact of exchange rates on the remeasurement of assets and liabilities in non-functional currencies and an increase in non-cash pension expense. Net income attributable to Aon shareholders increased 10% to $579 million compared to $524 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income attributable to Aon shareholders increased 22% to $759 million compared to $624 million in the prior year period.

Any or all of Aon's forward-looking statements may turn out to be inaccurate, and there are no guarantees about Aon's performance. The factors identified above are not exhaustive. Aon and its subsidiaries operate in a dynamic business environment in which new risks may emerge frequently. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. In addition, results for prior periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any future period. Further information concerning Aon and its businesses, including factors that could materially affect Aon's financial results, is contained in Aon's filings with the SEC. See Aon's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties applicable to Aon and its businesses.

Aon is not under, and expressly disclaims, any obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statement that it may make from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Explanation of Non-GAAP MeasuresThis communication includes supplemental information not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), including Organic revenue growth, free cash flow, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted earnings per share (EPS), adjusted net income attributable to Aon shareholders, adjusted diluted net income per share, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted other income (expense), and adjusted income before income taxes that exclude the effects of intangible asset amortization and impairment, Accelerating Aon United Program expenses, contingent consideration, NFP transaction and integration costs, certain pension settlements, capital expenditures, and certain other noteworthy items that affected results for the comparable periods. Organic revenue growth includes the impact of intercompany activity and excludes foreign exchange rate changes, acquisitions (provided that Organic revenue growth includes Organic growth of an acquired business as calculated assuming that the acquired business was part of the combined company for the same proportion of the relevant prior year period), divestitures (including held for sale disposal groups, if any), transfers between revenue lines, fiduciary investment income, and gains or losses on derivatives accounted for as hedges. Currency impact represents the effect on prior year period results if they were translated at current period foreign exchange rates. Reconciliations to the closest U.S. GAAP measure for each non-GAAP measure presented in this communication are provided in the attached appendices. Supplemental Organic revenue growth information and additional measures that exclude the effects of certain items noted above do not affect net income or any other U.S. GAAP reported amounts. Free cash flow is cash flows from operating activity less capital expenditures. The adjusted effective tax rate excludes the applicable tax impact associated with adjustments previously described, generally at the estimated annual effective tax rate or jurisdictional rate, where appropriate. Beginning in the third quarter of 2024, the adjusted effective tax rate also excludes interest accruals for income tax reserves related to the termination fee payment made in connection with the Company's terminated proposed combination with Willis Towers Watson. Management believes that these measures are important to make meaningful period-to-period comparisons and that this supplemental information is helpful to investors. Management also uses these measures to assess operating performance and performance for compensation. Non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, not in lieu of, Aon's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Industry peers provide similar supplemental information regarding their performance, although they may not make identical adjustments. Aon does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures, where Aon believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be misleading and is unable to reasonably predict certain items contained in the corresponding GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred and are out of the Aon's control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For these reasons, Aon is also unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.
