Management views year-over-year comparisons of results to generally be more meaningful than sequential comparisons, given the seasonality of revenues, medical expenses, operating costs and earnings from operations, primarily in its health benefits product offerings.
| • | UnitedHealth Group’s consolidated third quarter revenues of $21.7 billion increased $1.5 billion or 8 percent year-over-year. |
| • | Third quarter earnings from operations were $1.676 billion and net earnings were $1.035 billion. The operating margin of 7.7 percent was stable year-over-year. Strong overall third quarter performance in services businesses and continued operating cost management offset employment-related membership losses at UnitedHealthcare and mix changes driven by growth in lower margin government business at AmeriChoice, Ovations and OptumHealth. |
| • | Effective operating cost control reduced the third quarter 2009 operating cost ratio by 50 basis points to 14.5 percent from 15.01 percent of revenues in the third quarter of 2008. |
| • | The consolidated medical care ratio of 82.0 percent remained within the range of management expectations, increasing 30 basis points year-over-year due to elevated medical costs related to the H1N1 influenza virus. |
| • | During the third quarter of 2009 the Company realized $90 million in net favorable development in its estimates of medical costs incurred in the first half of 2009 and $100 million related to prior years. This compares to $130 million in total favorable development in the third quarter of 2008, including $10 million related to prior years. |
| 1 | Adjusted numbers are non-GAAP financial measures. Further explanation of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the comparable GAAP measures are included in the attached financial schedules. |

UnitedHealth Group Results – Continued

| • | The third quarter 2009 net margin was 4.8 percent, bringing the year-to-date net margin to 4.4 percent. Third quarter 2009 net earnings were $0.89 per share. |
| • | There were no realized net capital gains or losses in the third quarter of 2009. UnitedHealth Group’s cash and investment portfolio had an unrealized net gain position of $556 million at September 30, 2009. |
| • | There were 8 days sales outstanding in accounts receivable at the end of the third quarter of 2009, compared to 9 days outstanding at September 30, 2008. |
| • | Consolidated medical costs days payable were 53 days and 54 days at the end of the third quarters of 2009 and 2008, respectively. |

| • | Third quarter 2009 revenues for this group of businesses grew $1.4 billion or 7 percent year-over-year to $20.2 billion. Revenue growth was driven by rates reflecting underlying medical cost increases and year-to-date growth of 0.9 million individuals served across the public and senior markets businesses, offset by a decrease of 1.6 million consumers served through commercial benefits. |
| • | Third quarter earnings from operations of $1.2 billion decreased $41 million year-over-year. The operating margin declined 60 basis points year-over-year to 6.2 percent in the third quarter, due to continued growth in lower margin public and senior markets businesses combined with a decrease in commercial business. |

UnitedHealthcare
| • | UnitedHealthcare third quarter revenues of $10.1 billion decreased $347 million year-over-year. During the third quarter UnitedHealthcare had declines of 80,000 people served through fee-based programs and 195,000 people in risk-based health benefit plans. Reflecting the challenging economic climate, employment attrition at continuing clients was the most significant factor in these decreases, accounting for more than 80 percent of the total third quarter decline. |
| • | The UnitedHealthcare medical care ratio of 84.6 percent was within the range of management expectations, increasing by a net 80 basis points year-over-year, largely due to elevated medical costs related to the H1N1 virus and a higher proportion of participants receiving care under unemployment-related benefit continuation programs. |
Ovations
| • | Ovations revenues were $7.9 billion in the third quarter, up $1.2 billion or 19 percent year-over-year. |
| • | For Medicare Advantage programs, Ovations reported third quarter growth of 30,000 people and year-to-date growth of 275,000 people. Market-responsive product designs and local market engagement have driven steady, balanced growth in Medicare Advantage in 2009. |
| • | Growth in active Medicare Supplement products continued, with Ovations increasing the number of seniors served in this product family by 35,000 in the third quarter and 120,000 year-to-date. |
| • | At September 30, 2009 approximately 4.3 million people participated in the Company’s stand-alone Part D prescription drug plans. |
| • | Including Part D plans, Ovations has brought services to 625,000 additional seniors across its businesses thus far in 2009. |
| • | During the third quarter, the Department of Defense awarded the Company the TRICARE Managed Care Support South Region contract to provide health care services for active duty and retired military service members and their families. Health care operations are expected to commence in late 2010. |
AmeriChoice
| • | AmeriChoice third quarter revenues of $2.1 billion grew $475 million year-over-year, a 29 percent organic growth rate. |
| • | The Company served 2.8 million people in the Medicaid and state program market at September 30, 2009, which included risk-based growth of 620,000 people year-over-year. |
| • | Year-to-date 2009 results included growth of 460,000 people on a risk basis at September 30, 2009; this product category grew by 60,000 people in the third quarter of 2009. All of AmeriChoice’s membership is now served through risk-based contracts. |

First half 2009 earnings trends continued in the third quarter, with increased earnings driven by script volume growth, improved drug purchasing, steady gains in mail service drug fulfillment, and a continuing favorable mix shift to generic pharmaceuticals, which exceeded 69 percent of total volume in the quarter. These factors lifted Prescription Solutions third quarter operating margin to 5.5 percent. |
| • | During the third quarter Prescription Solutions was recognized for service and value. J.D. Power and Associates awarded Prescription Solutions the highest rankings for customer service and cost competitiveness among mail order pharmacies in their 2009 National Pharmacy StudySM. |

Generally the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “project,” “should” and similar expressions, identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. These statements may contain information about financial prospects, economic conditions, trends and uncertainties and involve risks and uncertainties. We caution that actual results could differ materially from those that management expects, depending on the outcome of certain factors. Some factors that could cause results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include: our ability to effectively estimate, price for and manage our health care costs; our ability to respond quickly and appropriately to health care reforms; failure to comply with federal and state regulations affecting the health care industry; the potential impact of the adverse conditions in the global economy and extreme disruption of financial markets on our revenues, sources of liquidity, investment portfolio, and our results of operations; regulatory and other risks associated with the pharmacy benefits management industry; competitive pressures, which could affect our ability to maintain or increase our market share; uncertainties regarding changes in Medicare; potential reductions in revenue received from Medicare and Medicaid programs, including as a result of reduced payments to private plans offering Medicare Advantage; our ability to execute contracts on competitive terms with physicians, hospitals and other service professionals; our ability to attract, retain and provide support to a network of independent third party brokers, consultants and agents; failure to comply with restrictions on patient privacy and information security; events that may negatively affect our contracts with AARP; increases in costs and other liabilities associated with increased litigation; the potential consequences of various governmental reviews and litigation matters related to our historical stock option practices; possible impairment of the value of our intangible assets if future results do not adequately support goodwill and intangible assets recorded for businesses that we acquire; increases in health care costs resulting from large-scale medical emergencies; failure to maintain effective and efficient information systems;

misappropriation of our proprietary technology; our ability to obtain sufficient funds from our regulated subsidiaries to fund our obligations; failure to complete or receive anticipated benefits of acquisitions; and potential downgrades in our debt ratings.
This list of important factors is not intended to be exhaustive.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
2008 operating results excluding special items as used in the press release are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures improves the comparability of our results between periods. These financial measures provide investors and our management with useful information to measure and forecast our results of operations, to compare on a consistent basis our results of operations for the current period to that of prior periods, and to compare our results of operations on a more consistent basis against that of other companies in the health care industry.
These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the special items associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, one should not consider these measures in isolation. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as non-GAAP basis, disclosing these GAAP financial measures, and providing a reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.
