CIGNA REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2005 RESULTS

Earnings Reflect Continued Strong Results in Each of the Health and Related Benefits Businesses

PHILADELPHIA, November 2, 2005 -- CIGNA Corporation (NYSE: CI) today reported net income of $259 million, or $2.00 per share1, for the third quarter of 2005 compared with $308 million2, or $2.26 per share1,2, for the same period last year. Net income for the third quarter of 2005 includes better than expected results in CIGNA's health and related benefits businesses.

CIGNA's adjusted income from operations3 was $251 million, or $1.94 per share1, for the third quarter of 2005 versus $230 million2, or $1.69 per share1,2, for the same period last year.

“Our results for the third quarter reflect continuing strong performance by our health care, group disability and life and international businesses,” said H. Edward Hanway, CIGNA’s chairman and chief executive officer. “We have achieved stable health care membership since January - our top priority for 2005 - and we continue to develop products and services, including industry-leading capabilities in consumerism and health advocacy, which position us for future growth.”

·  
Consolidated revenues were $4.0 billion for the third quarter of 2005 and $4.5 billion for the third quarter of 2004.

·  
Health care medical claims payable5were approximately $800 million at September 30, 2005 and $1.1 billion at December 31, 2004. The decline in health care medical claims payable primarily reflects the impact of favorable prior year claim development. The prior year development was driven by the emergence of favorable claim experience, primarily resulting from effective provider contracting and medical management. Improved claim processing efficiency and lower membership also contributed to the lower reserve balance at September 30, 2005.

·  
The company repurchased on the open market approximately 4.1 million shares of its stock for $465 million during the third quarter of 2005 and approximately 1.1 million shares for $128 million in October 2005, bringing the year to date repurchase amount to 11.5 million shares for $1.2 billion. On October 26, 2005, CIGNA's Board of Directors increased the company’s stock repurchase authority by $500 million. As of November 2, 2005, the company has approximately $700 million of stock repurchase authority available.

·  
Cash and investments at the parent company were approximately $900 million at September 30, 2005 and $1.5 billion at December 31, 2004.

HIGHLIGHTS OF SEGMENT RESULTS

·  
“Adjusted segment earnings” are adjusted income from operations3, as applicable, for each segment (see Exhibit 2).

Health Care

·  
This segment includes medical products provided on full risk, retrospectively experience-rated and service-only funding bases, and specialty health care products, including behavioral, dental and pharmacy-related products and services.

·  
Adjusted segment earnings include favorable prior year claim development of $25 million after-tax for the third quarter 2005, $34 million after-tax for the second quarter 2005 and $25 million after-tax for the third quarter 2004. Excluding prior year claim development, the year-over-year decrease in adjusted segment earnings is primarily driven by the impact of lower membership, partially offset by stronger experience-rated results.

·  
The year-over-year decline in Health Care segment premiums and fees is due to lower membership, partially offset by rate increases.

Disability and Life

·  
This segment includes CIGNA’s group disability, life, and accident insurance operations that are managed separately from the health care business.

·  
The significant year-over-year increase in adjusted segment earnings primarily reflects continued strong results in the group life insurance business, primarily due to better than expected mortality and lower expenses. Disability earnings continued to reflect strong execution.
 
·  
Premiums and fees reflect continued solid sales results and strong customer persistency.

International

·  
This segment includes CIGNA’s life, accident and health insurance and expatriate benefits businesses operating in selected international markets.

·  
Adjusted segment earnings in the quarter benefited from continued growth in the life, accident and health insurance businesses, particularly in South Korea.

·  
The increase in premiums and fees over the third quarter 2004 is principally due to growth in the life, accident and health insurance and expatriate benefits businesses.

·  
The year-over-year decline in Run-off Retirement results is due to lower deferred gain amortization on the sale of the retirement benefits business, due to the acceleration in prior quarters of underlying contract transfers to the buyer.

·  
The year-over-year improvement in Run-off Reinsurance results primarily reflects less reserve strengthening related to the run-off personal accident and workers compensation lines of business.

·  
The year-over-year improvement in Corporate reflects lower stock compensation expense and a favorable tax-related item.

OUTLOOK

·  
CIGNA currently estimates full year 2005 consolidated adjusted income from operations3,4,7 to be in the range of $990 million to $1.02 billion, or $7.60 to $7.80 per share1, including $655 million to $675 million for the Health Care segment. The 2005 outlook includes estimated expenses of $10 million to $20 million after-tax in the fourth quarter related to participation in the Medicare Part D prescription program.
 

·  
CIGNA’s earnings per share outlook excludes the impact of any future share repurchase.

·  
Management will provide additional information about the 2005 and 2006 earnings outlook on CIGNA's third quarter 2005 earnings call.

This quarterly earnings release and the Quarterly Statistical Supplement are available on CIGNA’s web site in the Investor Relations, Most Recent Disclosures section (http://www.cigna.com/general/about/investor/disclosures_recent.html). A link to the conference call, on which management will review third quarter 2005 results and provide the full year 2005 and 2006 outlook, is available in the Investor Relations, Event Calendar section of CIGNA’s website (http://www.cigna.com/general/about/investor/events.html).

*Notes:

1.  
Earnings per share (EPS) are on a diluted basis.

2.  
In the fourth quarter of 2004, CIGNA adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. Implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, as revised in 2004 (SFAS No. 123R), allows for the retroactive application of fair value stock option expensing to all periods. As such, prior period information as presented in this press release is restated as if CIGNA had expensed the fair value of stock options in those periods.

3.  
Adjusted income from operations is income from continuing operations before realized investment results and special items (which are identified and quantified in Note 4). Adjusted income from operations is a measure of profitability used by CIGNA’s management because it presents the underlying results of operations of CIGNA’s businesses and permits analysis of trends in underlying revenue, expenses and net income. This measure is not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is income from continuing operations. See Exhibit 2 for a reconciliation, by segment, of third quarter 2005 and 2004 GAAP income from continuing operations to adjusted income from operations.

4.  
The special items included in net income and income from continuing operations, but excluded from adjusted income from operations, adjusted segment earnings and the calculation of segment margins are:

Third Quarter 2005
·  
After-tax gain of $2 million resulting from the accelerated recognition of a portion of the deferred gain on the sale of CIGNA's retirement benefits business.

Second Quarter 2005
·  
After-tax net benefit of $81 million primarily related to the completion of a federal tax audit.
·  
After-tax gain of $29 million resulting from the accelerated recognition of a portion of the deferred gain on the sale of CIGNA's retirement benefits business.

First Quarter 2005
·  
After-tax gain of $169 million resulting from the accelerated recognition of a portion of the deferred gain on the sale of CIGNA's retirement benefits business.
·  
After-tax charge of $33 million related to CIGNA's efforts to streamline its Health Care operations and supporting areas.
·  
After-tax net charge of $8 million related to modified coinsurance arrangements for the sale of the retirement benefits business.

Third Quarter 2004
·  
After-tax gain of $79 million related to the accelerated recognition of a portion of the deferred gain on the sale of CIGNA's retirement benefits business.
·  
After-tax charge of $9 million related to derivative accounting associated with the modified coinsurance arrangements resulting from the sale of the retirement benefits business. As a result of these arrangements, CIGNA has embedded derivatives that transfer to the buyer certain unrealized changes in fair value due to interest rate and credit risks associated with the assets subject to the modified coinsurance arrangements. 

5.  
Health care medical claims payable are presented net of reinsurance and other recoverables. The gross health care medical claims payable balance was $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2005 and $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2004.

6.  
Segment margins in this press release are calculated by dividing adjusted segment earnings (income from continuing operations before realized investment results and special items) by revenues excluding realized investment results. Segment margin including special items for the International segment was 9.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

7.  
Information is not available for management to reasonably estimate future net income at this time. Full year 2005 and 2006 net income and income from continuing operations will include realized investment results, which are not predictable, and special items. In addition to the first, second and third quarter 2005 special items noted in footnote 4, special items for the remainder of 2005 and full year 2006 may include additional accelerated recognition of the deferred gain on the sale of the retirement benefits business and additional charges associated with a modified coinsurance arrangement. Other than these items, information is not available for management to reasonably estimate 2005 or 2006 special items.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE “SAFE HARBOR” PROVISIONS OF THE
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

CIGNA and its representatives may from time to time make written and oral forward-looking statements, including statements contained in press releases, in CIGNA's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in its reports to shareholders and in meetings with analysts and investors. Forward-looking statements may contain information about financial prospects, economic conditions, trends and other uncertainties. Forward-looking statements in this press release include information regarding, among other things, the company's earnings estimates for the full year 2005. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. CIGNA cautions that actual results could differ materially from those that management expects, depending on the outcome of certain factors. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include:
 
1.  
increased medical costs that are higher than anticipated in establishing premium rates in CIGNA's health care operations, including increased use and costs of medical services;
2.  
increased medical, administrative, technology or other costs resulting from new legislative and regulatory requirements imposed on CIGNA's employee benefits businesses;
3.  
challenges and risks associated with implementing the improvement initiatives in the health care operations, the organizational realignment and the reduction of overall CIGNA and health care cost structure, including that operational efficiencies and medical cost benefits do not emerge as expected and that health care membership does not stabilize and begin to grow, resulting in significantly greater than expected reductions in medical membership;
4.  
risks associated with the amount and timing of gain recognition on the sale of CIGNA's retirement benefits business;
5.  
risks associated with pending and potential state and federal class action lawsuits, purported securities class action lawsuits, disputes regarding reinsurance arrangements, other litigation and regulatory actions challenging CIGNA's businesses and the outcome of pending government proceedings;
6.  
heightened competition, particularly price competition, which could reduce product margins and constrain growth in CIGNA's businesses, primarily the health care business;
7.  
significant changes in interest rates;
8.  
downgrades in the financial strength ratings of CIGNA's insurance subsidiaries, which could, among other things, adversely affect new sales and retention of current business;
9.  
limitations on the ability of CIGNA's insurance subsidiaries to dividend capital to the parent company as a result of downgrades in the subsidiaries' financial strength ratings, changes in statutory reserve or capital requirements or other financial constraints;
10.  
inability of the program adopted by CIGNA to substantially reduce equity market risks for reinsurance contracts that guarantee minimum death benefits under certain variable annuities (including possible market difficulties in entering into appropriate futures and forward contracts and in matching such contracts to the underlying equity risk);
11.  
adjustments to the reserve assumptions and other considerations (including lapse, partial surrender, mortality, interest rates and volatility) used in estimating CIGNA's liabilities for reinsurance contracts that guarantee minimum death benefits under certain variable annuities;
12.  
adjustments to the assumptions (including annuity election rates) used in estimating CIGNA's assets and liabilities for reinsurance contracts that guarantee minimum income benefits under certain variable annuities;
13.  
significant stock market declines, which could, among other things, result in increased pension expenses in CIGNA's pension plan in future periods and the recognition of additional pension obligations;
14.  
unfavorable claims experience related to workers' compensation and personal accident exposures of the run-off reinsurance business, including losses attributable to the inability to recover claims from retrocessionaires;
15.  
significant deterioration in economic conditions, which could have an adverse effect on CIGNA's operations and investments;
16.  
changes in federal laws, such as amendments to income tax laws, which could affect the taxation of employer provided benefits, and pension legislation, which could increase pension cost;
17.  
potential public health epidemics and bio-terrorist activity, which could, among other things, cause our covered medical expenses and mortality experience to rise significantly, depending on the severity of the event and number of individuals affected who are covered under CIGNA's insurance products; 
18.  
risks associated with security or interruption of information systems, which could among other things cause operational disruption; and
19.  
risk factors detailed in CIGNA's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, and Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005, including the Cautionary Statement in Management's Discussion and Analysis.

This list of important factors is not intended to be exhaustive. There may be other risk factors that would preclude CIGNA from realizing the forward-looking statements. While CIGNA may periodically update this discussion of risk factors, CIGNA does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made by or on behalf of CIGNA prior to its next required filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

* 2004 results have been restated to reflect the expensing of stock options under the implementation of SFAS 123-R.

(1) Includes the following items:
- Pre-tax results from certain derivatives recorded in run-off reinsurance operations ($45 million loss for the third quarter of 2005, $28 million loss for the nine months of 2005, $33 million gain for the third quarter of 2004 and $27 million loss for the nine months of 2004). CIGNA recorded corresponding offsets in other benefit expenses to adjust liabilities for certain specialty life reinsurance contracts.
- Experience-rated pension trading portfolio gains recorded in run-off retirement prior to sale ($165 million for the nine months of 2004). These results are offset by amounts included in other benefit expenses.
- Pre-tax accelerated amortization ($10 million for the third quarter of 2005, $315 million for the nine months of 2005, $122 million for the third quarter of 2004 and $126 million for the nine months of 2004) of deferred gain on sale of retirement benefits business.
- Pre-tax benefit of $6 million ($4 million after-tax) for the nine months of 2005 related to an IRS tax settlement.
- Pre-tax charge of $14 million ($9 million after-tax) from the third quarter and nine months of 2004 associated with a modified coinsurance arrangement related to the run-off retirement business.

(2) See Exhibit 2 for a reconciliation of adjusted income from operations to income (loss) from continuing operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
