Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Members of Humana Inc.’s (the “Company”) senior management team are scheduled to meet with investors at various times between December 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. During the meetings, the Company intends to reaffirm its guidance range of $24.70 to $24.95 in diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”), or a range of $18.50 to $18.75 in adjusted earnings per common share (“Adjusted EPS”), in each case for the year ending December 31, 2020 (“FY 2020”). FY 2020 EPS guidance reflects fourth quarter 2020 losses of approximately $2.55 EPS, or approximately $2.40 in Adjusted EPS. This guidance is consistent with the guidance issued in Humana’s press release dated November 3, 2020. The date and time of presentations to investors are available via the Investor Relations calendar of events on Humana’s website at humana.com.

The Company has included Adjusted EPS in this current report, a financial measure that is not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that this measure, when presented in conjunction with the comparable measure of GAAP EPS, is useful to both management and its investors in analyzing the Company’s ongoing business and operating performance. Consequently, management uses Adjusted EPS as an indicator of the Company’s business performance, as well as for operational planning and decision making purposes. Adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP EPS. A reconciliation of GAAP EPS to Adjusted EPS follows:

Diluted earnings per common share	FY 2020 Guidance	4Q 2020 Guidance
GAAP	$24.70 - $24.95	($2.55)
Amortization of identifiable intangibles	~0.51	~0.15
Put/call valuation adjustments associated with the Company’s non-consolidating minority interest investments	.37	-
Change in fair market value of publicly-traded equity securities	(3.73)	-
Receipt of commercial risk corridor receivables previously written off, net	(3.35)	-
Adjusted (non-GAAP) – FY 2020 and 4Q 2020 projected	$18.50 to $18.75	($2.40)
